Engineering the Medicines of Tomorrow<br />
The Company<br />
<strong>MorphoSys</strong> is a biotechnology company focused on the develop -<br />
ment of antibodies. Using its proprietary techno logies, the Company<br />
develops and commercializes high-quality antibodies for<br />
therapeutic applications. By combining in-house development<br />
with selected alliances, <strong>MorphoSys</strong> has built one of the industry’s<br />
broadest pipelines of therapeutic antibody candi dates. Proprietary<br />
technologies are used to develop innovative compounds<br />
on <strong>MorphoSys</strong>’s own responsibility and in collaboration with<br />
partners. The cooperations generate constant cash flows which<br />
are invested in the development of the Company’s proprietary<br />
antibody portfolio. This sound financial performance dis tin gui shes<br />
<strong>MorphoSys</strong> from many other companies in the industry.<br />
Business Strategy<br />
<strong>MorphoSys</strong> operates in two business segments. The Partnered<br />
Discovery segment operates in partnerships with pharmaceutical<br />
and biotechnology companies, applying the Company’s proprietary<br />
technologies to generate new drug candidates. While<br />
the development costs are borne by the partner, <strong>MorphoSys</strong><br />
secures research funding and technology license fees, and stands<br />
to benefit from successful programs through mile stone payments<br />
and royalties on product sales. By way of example, the Company’s<br />
strategic alliance with Novartis is one of the largest R&D<br />
agreements ever signed in the pharma ceutical industry. The<br />
second segment, Proprietary Development, also operates in the<br />
pharmaceutical industry. In this segment <strong>MorphoSys</strong> uses its<br />
proprietary technologies to develop new therapeutic antibody<br />
candidates on its own responsibility and to partner them at a<br />
certain stage of clinical testing. The focus is on indications such<br />
as inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, as well as oncology.<br />
In each program there is a clear focus on in novative approaches<br />
to diseases which are currently not well-treated.<br />
Technologies<br />
<strong>MorphoSys</strong>’s success is based on its strong technologies, comprising<br />
several billion distinct, fully human antibodies which<br />
can be optimized for specific applications. Currently, more than<br />
80 therapeutic antibodies derived from HuCAL are in development.<br />
In total, 21 programs in <strong>MorphoSys</strong>’s pipeline are in clinical<br />
testing.<br />
Through its 2010 acquisition of Sloning BioTechnology,<br />
<strong>MorphoSys</strong> became the sole source of Sloning’s state-of-the-art<br />
Slonomics technology, which dramatically improves the assembly<br />
and quality of protein libraries. This technology is used to<br />
accelerate the generation of therapeutic antibodies and is at<br />
the core of <strong>MorphoSys</strong>’s newest antibody technology Ylanthia.<br />
Ylanthia was specifically designed to overcome current<br />
limitations in therapeutic antibody development, including<br />
challenges associated with certain target classes, limited diversity,<br />
poor biophysical properties and difficult production.<br />
In 2012, <strong>MorphoSys</strong> launched its "Innovation Capital" initiative<br />
through which the Company invests in promising start-ups<br />
with technologies and product candidates being close to its areas<br />
of interest. <strong>MorphoSys</strong> seeks to combine the classical cor porate<br />
venture approach with collaborative elements. In 2012, <strong>MorphoSys</strong><br />
announced a first collaboration in this area with Lanthio<br />
Pharma, a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering<br />
and developing lantipeptides.<br />

1. Partnered Products<br />
<strong>MorphoSys</strong>’s partnered product pipeline comprises more than<br />
70 antibody programs covering a range of indications. The pipeline<br />
spans a number of successful partnerships which have been<br />
established over the last 12 years since the HuCAL technology<br />
was introduced. Of the programs in development, 17 are pre -<br />
sently in human clinical trials and around 20 in preclinical<br />
evaluation.<br />
2. Proprietary Products<br />
<strong>MorphoSys</strong> develops proprietary therapeutic antibody candidates<br />
in the areas of inflammation and oncology. By conducting<br />
the discovery, pre-clinical and early clinical development itself,<br />
<strong>MorphoSys</strong> is building a valuable portfolio of proprietary drugs.<br />
Currently, the proprietary product portfolio comprises the following<br />
clinical stage programs, two of which <strong>MorphoSys</strong> could<br />
partner successfully in 2013:<br />
MOR103 (GlaxoSmithKline)<br />
In June 2013 <strong>MorphoSys</strong> signed a global agreement with GlaxoSmithKline<br />
(GSK) to develop and commercialize MOR103.<br />
MOR103 is a HuCAL antibody directed against GM-CSF, a thera -<br />
peutic target for the treatment of inflammatory diseases that<br />
has great potential in a number of indications where current<br />
treat ments are inadequate. A clinical phase 1b/2a study in<br />
patients with RA has been completed and reported excellent<br />
data on safety and efficacy in September 2012. In addition to<br />

the RA trial, MOR103 is currently being tested in a phase 1b trial<br />
in patients with multiple sclerosis.<br />
MOR202 (Celgene)<br />
In July 2013 <strong>MorphoSys</strong> and Celgene signed an agreement to<br />
jointly develop MOR202 globally and to co-promote MOR202 in<br />
Europe. MOR202 is a HuCAL antibody directed against CD38, a<br />
promising therapeutic target for the treatment of multiple myeloma<br />
and certain leukemias. MOR202 is currently being tested<br />
in a phase 1/2a trial in multiple myeloma patients.<br />
MOR208<br />
MOR208 is a humanized monoclonal antibody in-licensed from<br />
Xencor, which targets the antigen CD19. The antibody incor -<br />
porates an optimized Fc portion, which further enhances its ability<br />
to kill malignant CD-19-bearing B-cells. MOR208 is being<br />
developed for the treatment of B-cell malignancies and autoimmune<br />
diseases. The program has concluded a phase 1 trial in<br />
patients with CLL and is now being evaluated in two phase 2<br />
studies in ALL and NHL.<br />
