Forward Looking Statements This presentation has been prepared by TCR2 Therapeutics Inc. (“we,” “us,” or “our”) and contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, our development plans, our clinical results and other future conditions. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this presentation, including express or implied statements regarding our expectations for the Phase 1/2 clinical trials of Gavo-cel and TC-110, our expectations for the safety and efficacy of our product candidates, including Gavo-cel and TC-110, compared to current T-cell therapy approaches, and our expectations regarding the estimated patient populations and related market opportunities in Gavo-cel’s and TC-110’s targeted indications, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs and are forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others: uncertainties inherent in clinical studies and in the availability and timing of data from ongoing clinical studies; whether interim results from a clinical trial will be predictive of the final results of a trial; the possibility that positive results from preclinical studies and correlative studies may not necessarily be predictive of the results of our planned clinical trials, including the Phase 1/2 clinical trials of Gavo-cel and TC-110; the risk that the results from the Phase 1/2 clinical trials of Gavo-cel and TC-110 will not support further development and marketing approval; the risk that we may be unable to gain approval of Gavo-cel, TC-110 and our other product candidates on a timely basis, if at all; the risk that we have over-estimated the potential patient population for our product candidates, if approved; the risk that the current COVID-19 pandemic will impact our clinical trials and other operations; and the other risks set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020, as updated in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on May 14, 2020, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30,2020, as filed with the SEC on August 12, 2020, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, as filed with the SEC on November 12, 2020, and in our future filings with the SEC available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on any forward‐looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. While we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements except to the extent required by applicable law. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. No representations or warranties (expressed or implied) are made about the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements.
