Forward-Looking Statements This presentation includes forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including statements about our investigative stage drug candidate, ralinepag, including its potential to become best-in-class, profile and phase 3 and development planning; our pipeline of drug candidates; expected data readouts and initiation of new clinical trials; our focus, goals, strategy, plans, timelines and guidance; and other statements that are not historical facts, including statements that may include words such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “plan,” “expect,” “potential” or other similar words. For such statements, we claim the protection of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual events or results may differ materially from expectations, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the time they were made. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements include, without limitation: top-line data may not accurately reflect the complete results of a particular study or trial; results of clinical trials and other studies are subject to different interpretations and may not be predictive of future results; clinical and nonclinical data is voluminous and detailed, and regulatory agencies may interpret or weigh the importance of data differently and reach different conclusions than Arena or others, request additional information, have additional recommendations or change their guidance or requirements; the timing and outcome of research, development and regulatory review is uncertain; we expect to need additional funds to advance all of our programs, and you and others may not agree with the manner we allocate our resources; our drug candidates may not advance in development or be approved for marketing; risks related to developing, seeking regulatory approval and commercializing drugs; unexpected or unfavorable new data; Arena's and third parties' intellectual property rights; clinical trials and other studies may not proceed at the time or in the manner expected or at all; data and information related to our programs may not meet regulatory requirements or otherwise be sufficient for further development, regulatory review, partnering or approval; competition; risks related to commercializing drugs, including regulatory, manufacturing, supply and marketing issues and their availability and use; reimbursement and pricing decisions; risks related to relying on partners and other third parties; and satisfactory resolution of litigation or other disagreements. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied by our forward-looking statements are disclosed in our SEC filings, including under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements, other than as may be required under applicable law.

Statistical Plan PVR primary endpoint: Absolute change from baseline Primary efficacy analysis testing trial hypothesis Primary statistical test (2-sided, 0.05 alpha); subsequent testing without adjustment for multiplicity Log-transformation and geometric mean ratio (GMR) expressed as GMR percentage change over baseline PVR secondary endpoint: Percent change from baseline 6MWD endpoint: Absolute change from baseline Pre-specified Endpoints ANCOVA adjustment for endpoint baseline, WHO/NYHA functional class, and background ERA therapy

Distribution of Maintenance Dose 57.5% of patients achieved a total daily dose of 200 mg or higher

1) Ralinepag Significantly Improved Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR); ITT Population Primary Endpoint: Change in PVR Geometric Mean Ratio (GMR) [Expressed as Percent Change**] Treatment Effect Comparison -25.8% over placebo (p=0.02) *Median change used due to non-normal distribution; mean absolute change from baseline: placebo 25.5, ralinepag -175.7 dyn.s.cm-5 **Within-group GMR % change: placebo -0.4%, ralinepag -26.1%

Slide 8

2) Ralinepag Reduced PVR by 29.8% from Baseline Compared with Placebo; ITT Population Ralinepag (n=40) 9.6% -20.1% *Least squares mean change from placebo; non-parametric test to account for non-normal distribution -29.8% (P=0.03)* Placebo (n=21)

3) 6 Minute Walk Distance (6MWD) Ralinepag group increased by 36.2m from baseline (p=0.003) Placebo group increased by 29.4m from baseline (p=NS) Between group comparison directionally favors ralinepag (6.8m; p=NS) Clinically Meaningful Improvement for Ralinepag-Treated Patients

Slide 11

The overall safety and tolerability profile of ralinepag was consistent with the known profile of the prostacyclin therapy class Adverse events that occurred most frequently on ralinepag were similar to the on-target effects expected for prostacylin therapies: Headache, nausea, diarrhea, jaw pain, flushing Events were more frequent during dose titration; consistent reduction in adverse event frequency during maintenance period During 25 week safety assessment period 12.5% of patients discontinued ralinepag and 10.0% patients discontinued placebo due to adverse events Serious adverse events occurred in 4 (10%) patients taking ralinepag and 6 (28.6%) patients taking placebo 2 deaths occurred among placebo patients; 0 deaths on ralinepag Safety and Tolerability

Slide 12

Summary Ralinepag Phase 2 trial results demonstrate meaningful efficacy among a contemporary PAH population Majority of patients receiving background dual combination therapy Ralinepag reduced median PVR by 163.9 dyn·s·cm-5 from a baseline of 705 dyn·s·cm-5 Statistically significant improvement over placebo for both absolute change (geometric mean ratio) and percent change Clinically meaningful numerical improvement in 6MWD Tolerability and adverse event profile consistent with the known effects of therapeutics in the prostacyclin class Dose titration tolerated as expected No increase in serious adverse events or death compared to placebo Phase 3 planning underway Successful Phase 2 Trial Results Inform Progression to Phase 3 Program
