Unmet needs center around efficacy and safety 16 Source: Company-sponsored research Unmet Need Safer Treatment Options Improved Efficacy CS Patients More Novel Options High High High Initial Market Assessment Findings There is a desire for products with better efficacy, predictable treatment response and cortisol management There is a need for safer products given concerns with liver tolerability issues and other side effects associated with current treatments There are not enough treatment options available; cycling through medication is high in the CS population

Pricing and reimbursement ◼ Pricing – Rare disease pricing corridor exists for CS – Current CS branded therapies are priced from $165k to $335k annually • Can reach up to $669k for higher dosing levels – Branded agents have fairly broad payer coverage ◼ Reimbursement – Largest insurance group for CS treated patients is commercial – Broad coverage for branded agents across insurance plans, typically on non-preferred or specialty tiers with prior authorization – CS is not an actively managed therapy area for payers today – Payers generally view Recorlev profile favorably 18 Source: Company-sponsored research
