17 HAV IS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS FISTULA FAILURES, INFECTIONS 1 Lawson, J.H, et al, The Lancet 2016; 387: 2026-2034. 2 Halbert, R.J., et al, Kidney360 2020; doi: 10.34067/KID.003502020. Use of AV Fistula has Substantial Limitations ▪ ~40% of fistulas fail to mature ▪ Even the fistulas that do mature take 3-6 months to become usable for dialysis ▪ While fistulas are unusable patients are required to use catheters: ▪ Catheter infection rates are up to 200% per patient-year ▪ HAV usable within 1 month vs 3-6 months for fistulas ▪ Decreased catheter contact time in patients awaiting fistula maturation HAV is Designed to Address Substantial Unmet Need in AV Access Expected Improved Patient Outcome: ▪ HAV usable for dialysis after only four weeks ▪ HAV reduces catheter contact time thereby reducing risk of catheter infection ▪ >90% of HAVs functional for dialysis at 6 months ▪ HAV infection rate is <1% per patient year Expected Economic Benefits: ▪ Expected reduction in catheter contact time, infection, and failure rate have potential to reduce cost including the following: ▪ Infection - $45,000 ▪ Additional access procedures - $9,000 Our partner and shareholder FMC is the global market leader in the care of dialysis patients |
18 ONGOING PHASE 3 TRIAL IN DIALYSIS ACCESS VERSUS AV FISTULA (V007) Enrollment: Target 240 total subjects 207 subjects enrolled as of December 31, 2021 NCT03183245: Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Humacyte’s Human Acellular Vessel with that of an Autologous Arteriovenous Fistula in Subjects with End-Stage Renal Disease (currently enrolling) 30 centers in the US. HAV implanted in patients in need of dialysis access and who were suitable for single-stage arteriovenous fistula. Comparators: Single-stage arteriovenous fistula in the upper extremity Objectives: ▪ Primary Efficacy: Useability for dialysis at 6 months; Secondary patency at 12 months; ▪ Primary Safety: Compare rates of interventions, infections, host remodeling, and dialysis efficiency Duration: Each subject is followed for 24 months after implantation, 2023 File BLA for AV Access Expected Milestones 2022 Completion of enrollment 2023 Top-line readout for V007 AV Access trial 12-month follow-up from last subject enrolled |

The V006 trial of HAV was conducted versus ePTFE. It did not meet its primary endpoint, which was secondary patency compared to ePTFE at 18 months. The secondary patency of the HAV was greater than that of ePTFE at 6 and 12 months, but lower at 18 and 24 months. Fistula 4 Fistula 3 Fistula 3 Fistula 2 Fistula 2 Fistula 1 |

21 PERIPHERAL ARTERIAL DISEASE (PAD) Treatment requires restoration of blood flow ▪ Non-surgical, catheter-based intervention ▪ Surgical bypass Critical Limb Threatening Ischemia ▪ Tissue does not receive enough blood flow to survive ▪ If untreated, leads to tissue loss, gangrene, and ultimately amputation Can progress to multiple leg arteries, further reducing circulation |
22 PERIPHERAL ARTERIAL DISEASE: RESTORING MOBILITY WITH HAV Knee joint Staples at incision HAV Angiogram at 1 year ▪ Case Study of using the HAV for Compassionate Use in 70-year-old patient with severe vascular disease. ▪ No vein was available to perform a bypass, as the vein was previously used for a CABG ▪ A right distal superficial femoral artery-to-peroneal artery bypass was performed using an HAV ▪ The patient’s postoperative course was unremarkable ▪ At 1-year follow-up the angiography showed a patent graft without significant stenosis at the distal anastomosis Two years after HAV implantation, the patient continues to do well and is walking. Case Study: Using the HAV in patient with severe vascular disease. HAV results in critical limb ischemia to be presented at VESS meeting January 28, 2022 |

25 Humacyte Innovation in Complex Organ Systems: BioVascular Pancreas for Type-1 Diabetes Preclinical Program |
26 BIOVASCULAR PANCREAS MAY DELIVER CURATIVE ISLETS TO DIABETICS Islets in hydrogel surrounding HAV ▪ Islets die after implantation under the skin, or after injection into the abdomen, due to lack of oxygen and nutrients. ▪ Without a blood supply, pancreatic islets cannot survive transplantation. ▪ Humacyte’s HAV is being developed as a means to provide oxygen and nutrients to islets that are coated on the outside of the vessel: a “BioVascular Pancreas”, or BVP ▪ Once implanted in the vasculature, blood flow supplies oxygen and nutrients to islets, via diffusion through the HAV wall. ▪ Islets survive and secrete insulin. One 42-cm HAV can accommodate all of the islets in an entire human pancreas. Islets + HAV = BioVascular Pancreas (BVP) Blood flow supports islets BVP Implanted in the arm Artery Vein HAV with islets BioVascular Pancreas |
