Any statement describing Kazia's future plans, strategies, intentions, expectations, objectives, goals or prospects, and other statements that are not historical facts, are also forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements regarding: the timing for interim or final results and data related to Kazia's clinical and preclinical trials, or third-party trials evaluating Kazia's product candidates, timing and plans with respect to enrollment of patients in Kazia's clinical and preclinical programs, the potential benefits of paxalisib, NDL2, MSETC, and EVT801, the potential results of combination studies of paxalisib and other collaborations, the preliminary nature of clinical data from Kazia's ongoing Phase 1b trial of paxalisib in advanced triple- negative breast cancer, including the observed reductions in exhausted T-cells, which are based on a small number of patients and may not be predictive of results in a larger patient population or in later-stage clinical trials, the anticipated timing of topline data from the Phase 1b trial in advanced triple-negative breast cancer and the expected enrollment of patients in such trial, Kazia's plans to expand clinical development of paxalisib into hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer and colorectal cancer, and the timing, cost and results of any such expansion, the potential of paxalisib to act as an immunotherapy sensitizer, remodel the tumor microenvironment, reinvigorate anti-tumor immunity or enable checkpoint inhibitor activity in historically refractory settings, timing for any regulatory submissions or discussions with regulatory agencies, the potential market opportunity for paxalisib, NDL2, MSETC, and EVT801, and Kazia's strategy and plans with respect to its business and programs. Such statements are based on Kazia's expectations and projections about future events and future trends affecting its business and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, including risks and uncertainties: associated with clinical and preclinical trials and product development, the risk that interim and preclinical data may not be reflective of final data, related to regulatory approvals, and related to the impact of global economic conditions.

Investment Framework 2 Key elements underpinning our potential for value creation 6/6 Stage IV TNBC Patients Immune Restoration Reduced and reprogrammed terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells 6/6 Stage IV TNBC Patients Metastatic Biology Disrupted Reduced circulating tumor cell (CTC) clusters associated with metastatic dissemination Extensive Preclinical Data & IP to Support Expanded Indications HR+ / HER2- breast cancer • Early-stage high-risk TNBC • pMMR CRC >$40B Potential Market Opportunity Early clinical validation creates multiple paths to significant value Stage IV TNBC clinical observations + potential expansion into >$40B of additional oncology markets Ongoing Complete Metabolic Response with Persistent Biological Reprogramming Reductions in terminally exhausted CD8⁺ T cells and CTC clusters persist alongside complete metabolic response WHY THIS MATTERS Early clinical observations support a potentially differentiated mechanism with applicability beyond TNBC. Not all PI3K/mTOR inhibitors are created equal. Paxalisib's ability to reprogram tumor and immune biology appears distinct and is not a class effect, supporting potential expansion across multiple solid tumors.

Paxalisib CONFIDENTIAL Expansion Opportunity 8 • PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway is a central regulator of cell growth and is hyperactivated in approximately ~65% to 70% of pediatric high-grade brain tumors, including DMGs and atypical teratoid / rhabdoid tumors (AT/RT).. • Given the frequent dysregulation of the PI3K/ mTOR pathway in pediatric brain tumors and limited effective therapies, paxalisib's ability to cross the blood–brain barrier and combine with multiple treatment modalities presents a compelling therapeutic opportunity. • PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway is a central regulator of cell growth and is hyperactivated in approximately ~85% to 90% of glioblastoma cases.. • Unlike other PI3K inhibitors approved for peripheral cancers, paxalisib crosses the blood-brain barrier overcoming a major obstacle in CNS drug delivery. Glioblastoma (GBM) Childhood Brain Cancer / Metastasis • Broad PI3K/mTOR signaling across solid tumors • Tumor and tumor microenvironment (TME); emerging data suggests paxalisib can reshape both and potentially overcome resistance and recurrence • Clear opportunity to expand into HR+ / HER2- breast cancer, early-stage high- risk TNBC, and pMMR CRC • PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway is frequently dysregulated in breast cancer and associated with tumor proliferation, disease progression, and therapeutic resistance. • Brain metastases develop in ~25–46% of patients with metastatic TNBC over the disease course, with ~10–15% present at initial metastatic diagnosis.

Paxalisib CONFIDENTIAL Reprogramming Cancer, Not Only Treating It 9 Targeting the biology of metastasis, resistance, and relapse o >90% of cancer deaths are driven by metastatic disease o HR+ / HER2- Breast Cancer • TNBC • pMMR CRC Three major global cancers with limited effective treatment options o Current treatment modalities do not address critical drivers of metastasis and relapse Global Unmet Need o CTC Clusters → Metastatic seeds conventional therapy cannot eliminate o Terminally Exhausted T Cells → Immune escape mechanism SOC cannot reverse Both are epigenetically hardwired, requiring a fundamentally different approach. Paxalisib Biological Breakthrough o Deep IP o Clinically ready o Novel liquid biomarkers o Precision oncology regime Our Unique Positioning o HR+ / HER2- Breast Cancer* • Resistance and relapse near universal o TNBC* • Limited systemic options post I/O o pMMR CRC* • I/O largely ineffective * metastatic The Opportunity We are targeting the critical seeders of metastasis and reprogramming the immune system early enough to potentially change the trajectory of disease across major solid tumors with global unmet need. We have the biology, the IP, the clinical readiness, and the biomarkers to demonstrate its effect. THE SOLUTION

 

 

Paxalisib CONFIDENTIAL Why Current Treatments Fail 10 CHEMOTHERAPY IMMUNOTHERAPY RADIOTHERAPY CTC Clusters Persist post-treatment Checkpoint-resistant (Szczerba, Nature 2019) Paradoxically mobilized (Luo, Cancer Letters 2021) Immune Exhaustion Deepens post-chemo (Valpione, Nat Cancer 2020) Epigenetically fixed (Pauken, Science 2016) Worsens in the tumor microenvironment (Twyman-Saint Victor, Nature 2015) Net Effect Seeds survive Evasion persists Metastasis accelerates The biology always wins...until now o Drivers of metastasis and relapse: • CTC clusters → survive every standard treatment modality • Immune exhaustion → epigenetically hardwired, not reversed by I/O alone o Current therapies → do not address either Current Biological Reality o Target the epigenetic program driving both the CTC clusters and immune exhaustion o Intervene early enough to change disease trajectory o Deliver durable immune response – not just a transient response Future Biological Reality Standard treatments do not address the two critical drivers of metastasis and relapse. Paxalisib is designed to target both.

CONFIDENTIAL Investment Framework Recap 36 Key elements underpinning our potential for value creation 6/6 Stage IV TNBC Patients Immune Restoration Reduced and reprogrammed terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells 6/6 Stage IV TNBC Patients Metastatic Biology Disrupted Reduced circulating tumor cell (CTC) clusters associated with metastatic dissemination Extensive Preclinical Data & IP to Support Expanded Indications HR+ / HER2- breast cancer • Early-stage high-risk TNBC • pMMR CRC >$40B Potential Market Opportunity Early clinical validation creates multiple paths to significant value Stage IV TNBC clinical observations + potential expansion into >$40B of additional oncology markets Ongoing Complete Metabolic Response with Persistent Biological Reprogramming Reductions in terminally exhausted CD8⁺ T cells and CTC clusters persist alongside complete metabolic response WHY THIS MATTERS Early clinical observations support a potentially differentiated mechanism with applicability beyond TNBC. Not all PI3K/mTOR inhibitors are created equal. Paxalisib's ability to reprogram tumor and immune biology appears distinct and is not a class effect, supporting potential expansion across multiple solid tumors.
