INVESTOR PRESENTATION APRIL 2021
Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Statements in this presentation that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, whether data from patients enrolled to date will be sufficient to inform the recommended phase 2 dose for the Company’s planned proof of concept study of cinrebafusp alfa in gastric cancer; the expected timing and potential outcomes of the reporting by the Company of key clinical data from its programs, references to novel technologies and methods and our business and product development plans, including the advancement of our proprietary and co-development programs into and through the clinic and the expected timing for reporting data, making IND filings or achieving other milestones related to our programs, including PRS- 060/AZD1402, cinrebafusp alfa, PRS-344, and PRS-352 and the expected timing of the initiation of the next stage of cinrebafusp alfa’s development in gastric cancer. Actual results could differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements due to numerous factors. Such factors include, among others, our ability to raise the additional funding we will need to continue to pursue our business and product development plans; the inherent uncertainties associated with developing new products or technologies and operating as a development stage company; our ability to develop, complete clinical trials for, obtain approvals for and commercialize any of our product candidates, including our ability to recruit and enroll patients in our studies; competition in the industry in which we operate; delays or disruptions due to COVID-19; and market conditions. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this presentation, and we assume no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Investors should consult all of the information set forth herein and should also refer to the risk factor disclosure set forth in the reports and other documents we file with the SEC available at www.sec.gov, including without limitation the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. 2

Scientific Rationale for Combining Cinrebafusp Alfa & Tucatinib • Upregulates or stabilizes tumor cell surface HER2 expression2,3,4 • Increases clustering potential of cinrebafusp alfa on tumor cells to drive enhanced 4-1BB cross-linking Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (tucatinib) • Inhibits HER2 signaling AND activates tumor-specific T cells in tumor microenvironment Cinrebafusp Alfa – Dual MoA • Enhances inhibition of HER2 signaling by concurrent binding to HER2 on the tumor cell surface and TKI inhibition of the internal kinase signaling domain1 • In vitro, combination leads to significantly increased T cell activation in the presence of HER2-Low cell lines Complements Both MoAs 30 1 - Baselga J., Lancet, 2012; 2 - Maruyama T., et al, Anticancer Res., 2011 3 - Scaltriti M., et al, Oncogene, 2009 4 - Hartmans, et al, Oncotarget,, 2017

PRS-060 Phase I 37
PRS-060 Phase I Multiple Ascending Dose Trial 38 Ascertain PK/PD with a reliable biomarker to confirm local target engagement and inform Phase II dosage regimen Strategic Objectives Dosing patients with mild asthma with elevated FeNO levels (≥35 ppb), to receive inhaled PRS-060 or pbo b.i.d.* over a 10-day period Trial Design Highlights Pieris is sponsoring the trial, AstraZeneca is reimbursing Pieris for all associated costs Initiated in July 2018 Evaluating safety, tolerability, PK, PD and will also evaluate FeNO reduction vs. placebo Measuring safety, tolerability and FeNO changes days 1-10,17, and 40 *q.d. on Day 10
Phase 1b Interim Results: Favorable Safety Profile 39 • All doses of AZD1402/PRS-060 tested in the study were well tolerated • No treatment-related serious AEs were observed System organ class AE Preferred Termsb Placebo (N = 12) n (%) m AZD1402/PRS-060c (N = 30) n (%) m Overall (N = 42) n (%) m Gastrointestinal disorders Dry mouth Nausea 4 (33.3) 4 1 (8.3) 1 1 (8.3) 1 13 (43.4) 14 2 (6.7) 2 3 (10.0) 3 17 (40.5) 18 3 (7.1) 3 4 (9.5) 4 Infections and infestations Upper respiratory tract infection 1 (8.3) 1 1 (8.3) 1 7 (23.3) 8 3 (10.0) 4 8 (19.0) 9 4 (9.5) 5 Nervous system disorders Headache Presyncope 5 (41.7) 9 3 (25.0) 6 0 13 (43.4) 18 5 (16.7) 7 4 (13.3) 6 18 (42.9) 27 8 (19.0) 13 4 (9.5) 6 Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders Cough Rhinorrhoea Wheezing 6 (50.0) 6 1 (8.3) 1 2 (16.7) 2 2 (16.7) 2 14 (46.7) 15 4 (13.3) 4 1 (3.3) 1 4 (13.3) 5 20 (47.6) 21 5 (11.9) 5 3 (7.1) 3 6 (14.3) 7

Phase 1b Interim Results: Pharmacological Versatility 41 pSTAT6 levels over time following inhalation of PRS-060 No systemic target engagement and minimal systemic exposure was observed at the 2mg dose, suggesting that local target engagement by the drug is sufficient to reduce airway inflammation Pharmacological versatility, given low- dose FeNO reduction with no observed systemic activity (pSTAT6) versus high-dose FeNO reduction with systemic activity
Cinrebafusp Alfa – Biomarkers 42
Soluble 4-1BB (s4-1BB): Blood-based Biomarker of PRS-343 Target Engagement • s4-1BB is an alternatively spliced form of 4-1BB receptor lacking the transmembrane encoding exon (Setareh et al., 1995; Shao et al., 2008) • s4-1BB is released by leukocytes in an activation-dependent manner (Michel et al., 2000; Salih et al., 2001; Schwarz et al., 1996) • s4-1BB is produced with a slightly delayed kinetic to pathway activation. Hypothesized role is as a negative regulator, keeping 4-1BB-mediated co-stimulation in check 43 s4-1BB utility as a pathway specific biomarker provides ability to track PRS- 343 target engagement and activity using serum samples
