New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 3.6% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$24m net loss in 3 years). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (3.6% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$37.3m market cap). Price Target Changed • Nov 10

Rain Oncology Inc. Announces Topline Results from Phase 3 MANTRA Trial of Milademetan for Treatment of Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma Rain Oncology Inc. announced its topline pivotal Phase 3 MANTRA data. The trial, evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of milademetan in patients with dedifferentiated (DD) liposarcoma (LPS), did not meet its primary endpoint of progression free survival (PFS) by blinded independent central review compared to the standard of care, trabectedin. The median PFS for milademetan was 3.6 months vs 2.2 months for trabectedin, with a hazard ratio of 0.89, p=0.53. The most common treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in the milademetan arm included nausea, thrombocytopenia, anemia, vomiting and neutropenia. The most common Grade 3/4 TEAEs were thrombocytopenia (39.5%), neutropenia (25.5%) and anemia (18.6%). Dose reductions in the milademetan arm were 44.2% vs 29.1% in the trabectedin arm. Discontinuation in the milademetan arm due to AEs were 11.6% vs 19.0% for trabectedin. Based upon these topline data, Rain does not expect to pursue further development of milademetan in DD LPS. Rain hopes to present the MANTRA data in an upcoming medical conference. Phase 3 MANTRA Topline Data Results: The median PFS was 3.6 months with milademetan versus 2.2 months for trabectedin, with a hazard ratio of 0.89 (95% CI [0.61 to 1.29]; p=0.53) based on 115 events. Most common TEAEs in the milademetan arm included nausea, thrombocytopenia, anemia, vomiting and neutropenia. The most common Grade 3/4 TEAEs in the milademetan arm were thrombocytopenia (39.5%), neutropenia (25.5%) and anemia (18.6%). Dose reductions in the milademetan arm were 44.2% vs 29.1% in the trabectedin arm. Discontinuations in the milademetan arm due to AEs were 11.6% vs 19.0% for trabectedin. Treatment emergent SAEs in the milademetan arm were 36.0% vs 48.1% in the trabectedin arm. Price Target Changed • Mar 10

Rain Oncology Inc. Announces Phase 1 Clinical Data of Milademetan Publishes in Journal of Clinical Oncology Rain Oncology Inc. announced the publication of a peer-reviewed article titled, “A First-in-Human Phase I Study of Milademetan, an MDM2 Inhibitor, in Patients with Advanced Liposarcoma, Solid Tumors or Lymphomas” in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Phase 1 clinical data in the paper highlight the activity and tolerability using intermittent dosing of milademetan across a range of tumor types including dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DD LPS), which represented the proportion of patients enrolled in the study (n=53). All liposarcoma patients enrolled in the Phase 1 trial exhibited the DD LPS subtype; Among DD LPS patients in the Phase 1 trial, median progression-free survival (mPFS) outcomes were maintained with intermittent dosing schedules (once daily [qd] on days 1-3 and 15-17 every 28 days; eg, 3/14 days) compared with extended (qd on days 1-21) /continuous (qd on days 1-28) schedules: mPFS of patients across all doses/schedules (n=53): 7.2 months; mPFS of patients with 260 mg qd 3/14 intermittent schedule (n=16): 7.4 months; mPFS of previously treated patients with 260 mg qd 3/14 intermittent schedule (n=11): 8.0 months; mPFS of treatment-naïve patients in all doses/schedules (n=17): 14.6 months. Although all tested DD LPS patients had MDM2 gene amplification (n=22), mPFS in DD LPS patients did not differ by levels of key biomarkers including MDM2 or CDK4 copy number or by mRNA expression levels of MDM2, CDK4, or MDM4. Preliminary single-agent activity with milademetan in DD LPS prompted the ongoing, randomized Phase 3 MANTRA trial (NCT04979442), with topline data anticipated in the first quarter of 2023.

Rain Therapeutics Provides Interim Analysis of Phase 2 Basket Trial of Milademetan for Mdm2-Amplified Advanced Solid Tumors Rain Therapeutics Inc. announced preliminary data in the multicenter, single arm, open-label, Phase 2 basket trial evaluating milademetan, an oral mouse double minute 2 (MDM2) inhibitor, for the treatment of MDM2-amplified advanced solid tumors. The MANTRA-2 trial is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of milademetan monotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors refractory or intolerant to standard-of-care therapy and that exhibit wild-type p53 and a prespecified minimum MDM2 gene copy number. Approximately 65 patients are anticipated to be enrolled to receive milademetan. As of the latest data cutoff on October 26, 2022, 17 patients have been enrolled. The primary endpoint of the trial is objective response rate as measured by RECIST criteria. Secondary endpoints include duration of response, disease control rate progression-free survival by investigator assessment, overall survival and growth modulation index. As of the latest data cutoff on October 26, 2022, 17 patients have been enrolled, 15 of whom have been dosed with milademetan Ten patients were efficacy-evaluable with CN =8 by central testing A diverse set of tumor histologies were enrolled amongst the evaluable patients Most tumors had co-alterations in oncogenes or tumor suppressors, including KRAS, EGFR, and PIK3CA amongst others Two unconfirmed PRs were observed with tumor regression of 34% and 30% (pancreatic and lung cancer, respectively) The patient with pancreatic cancer is pending response confirmation and ongoing treatment The patient with lung cancer is deceased due to COVID-19 Two patients exhibited promising activity with tumor regression of 29% and 27% (biliary tract and breast cancer, respectively) and the patients are continuing with the investigational therapy Observed anti-tumor effect of milademetan in heavily pretreated, refractory patients, with a median of four prior therapies Safety profile to date is preliminarily consistent with prior Phase 1 trial of milademetan. Milademetan (also known as RAIN-32) is an oral small molecule inhibitor of the MDM2-p53 complex that reactivates p53. Milademetan has demonstrated antitumor activity in an MDM2-amplified subtype of liposarcoma (LPS) and other solid tumors in a Phase 1 clinical trial, supported by a rationally designed dosing schedule to mitigate safety concerns and widen the potential therapeutic window of MDM2 inhibition. Rain has completed enrollment in a Phase 3 trial of milademetan (MANTRA) in patients with LPS, and is evaluating milademetan in a Phase 2 tumor-agnostic basket trial in certain solid tumors (MANTRA-2). Rain anticipates commencing a Phase 1/2 clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of milademetan in combination with Roche’s atezolizumab in patients with loss of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) and wildtype p53 advanced solid tumors (MANTRA-4), in the first quarter of 2023. Milademetan has received Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of LPS. Duyuru • Oct 28
