Forward Looking Statements This presentation and the accompanying oral presentation contain “forward-looking” statements that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include all statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this presentation, including information concerning our future financial performance, business plans and objectives, current and future clinical activities, timing and success of our ongoing and planned clinical trials and related data, updates and results of our clinical trials and related data, timing and success of our planned development activities, our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval, the potential therapeutic benefits and economic value of our product candidates, potential growth opportunities, financing plans, competitive position, industry environment and potential market opportunities. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, including risks and uncertainties related to our cash forecasts, our and our collaborators’ ability to advance our product candidates, the receipt and timing of potential regulatory submissions, designations, approvals and commercialization of product candidates, the timing and results of preclinical and clinical trials, and the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. These factors, together with those that may be described in greater detail under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports the company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied by our forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although our management believes that the expectations reflected in our forward- looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances described in the forward- looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, neither we nor our management assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward- looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this presentation to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law. This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. In addition, projections, assumptions, and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the markets in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.

13 Dose Expansion STRO 002 Dose Expansion Data Provide Initial Insights on Go-Forward Strategy Emerging data show dose response and a path for potential enrichment strategy Total of 11 confirmed PR (1) out of 33 RECIST v1.1 evaluable patients 33% ORR, across all FolRα expression levels and both dose levels Dose response was demonstrated 47% ORR (8/17)(1) in unenriched patients starting at the 5.2 mg/kg dose level Initial data suggests responses at 5.2 mg/kg are maintained, even when subsequent dose reductions are implemented Using TPS, interim data suggests > 25% expression levels are correlated with higher clinically meaningful response rate, with 40% ORR (10/25)(1) observed in both dose levels and an enriched patient population Based on our patient observations, we believe STRO-002 may be an appropriate therapy for ~70% of these patients No new safety signals were observed, including the absence of keratopathy Neutropenia was the leading TEAE, resulting in treatment delay or dose reduction Protocol was updated to require dose reduction for Grade 4 neutropenia Overall Efficacy Dose Response Biomarker Safety (1) PR classification includes the 4 of 5 patients who were confirmed by their next scheduled scan after Nov. 8, 2021.
