Healing mental health disorders so that everyone everywhere can live a more fulfilled life
Corporate Presentation - March 2025

atai's objective is to enable patients to achieve clinically meaningful improvements by developing innovative therapeutics with a focus on interventional treatments

Significant unmet need: mental health disorders are one of the largest global health burdens; it is estimated that one out of every two people in the world will develop a mental health disorder in their lifetime1
5 clinical-stageprograms: four psychedelic programs and one non-psychedelic program; our psychedelic programs focus on leveraging the "2-hour treatment window" pioneered by Spravato®
Multiple Phase 2 readouts expected over the next 12 months: several anticipated clinical trial readouts across our
drug development programs and strategic investments
Runway into 2027: cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and committed term loan funding expected to provide funding into 20272
05
Our vision is being delivered through a robust pipeline of clinical-stage programs across a range of compounds and psychiatric indications

Predictable 2-hour treatment: the potential to fit into the 2-hour in-clinictreatment paradigm established by Spravato
Established infrastructure and reimbursement: potential to
immediately leverage Spravato's reimbursement pathways and >4,500 certified clinics2
Extended durability reduces patient burden: 1-2doses of a psychedelic
therapy provides a sustained effect, simplifying the dosing schedule compared to esketamine's once-weekly regimen
Significantly improves use of infrastructure: lower dosing frequency compared to esketamine will lower provider burden, and improve payer receptivity

VLS-01
(Buccal Film DMT) for
TRD
10
SUMMARY:VLS-01 (buccalVLS-01film DMT) is a patent-protected formulation, designed to fit into established ~2-hourinterventional psychiatry treatment paradigm for TRD
Optimized transmucosal buccal film formulation: Phase 1 study demonstrated favorable safety & tolerability and an IV-like PK profile, which may support a more scalable patient / provider experience
Short duration psychedelic effect: Phase 1 data suggests subjective effects experienced for ~2 hours, potentially enabling VLS-01 to fit into interventional psychiatry paradigm established by Spravato®
Potential for rapid onset and durable efficacy: Prior clinical evidence with DMT has generated sustained, clinically meaningful improvement on depressive symptoms1
Patent protected formulation: Issued patents and pending applications covering compositions and methods of use (expiry anticipated 20422)
Abbreviations: DMT = N,N-Dimethyltryptamine; TRD= Treatment Resistant Depression; PK = Pharmacokinetic;
