Forward-Looking Statements
These slides and the accompanying oral presentation contain forward-looking statements and information. The use of words
such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “future,”
“potential,” or “continue,” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements. For example, all
statements we make regarding the regulatory approval pathway for the bempedoic acid / ezetimibe combination pill and
bempedoic acid and the therapeutic potential of, clinical development plan for, the bempedoic acid / ezetimibe combination pill
and bempedoic acid, including Esperion's timing, designs, plans and announcement of results regarding its global pivotal Phase
3 clinical development program for bempedoic acid and the bempedoic acid / ezetimibe combination pill, Esperion's timing and
plans for submission of NDAs to the FDA and MAAs to the EMA and Esperion's expectations for the market for therapies to
lower LDL-C, including the market adoption of bempedoic acid and the bempedoic acid / ezetimibe combination pill, if
approved, are forward looking. All forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions by our management
that, although we believe to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected. These statements are also subject
to a number of material risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, delays or failures in Esperion’s studies, that
positive results from a clinical study of bempedoic acid may not be sufficient for FDA or EMA approval or necessarily be
predictive of the results of future or ongoing clinical studies, that existing cash resources may be used more quickly than
anticipated, and the risks detailed in Esperion's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking
statement speaks only as of the date on which it was made. Esperion disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

 The Lipid Management Team: Addressing a Global Problem
Cardiovascular Disease is the #1 Cause of Death Globally

Esperion is focused on developing LDL-C lowering therapies to address the unmet needs of patients with
atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), or who are at a high risk for ASCVD, with
hypercholesterolemia who continue to have elevated levels of LDL-C despite the use of maximally-tolerated
statins and ezetimibe

 Bempedoic Acid Franchise Target Patient Populations
Background

Statins and ezetimibe are the standard of care for the treatment of patients with hypercholesterolemia
Approximately 90% of patients on LDL-C lowering therapy are taking a low- (12%), moderate- (63%) or high-intensity (25%) statin*

12 – 13 million patients in the U.S. can’t/don’t achieve their LDL-C lowering goal with statins and/or ezetimibe alone.
Approximately four out of five patients require less than 50% additional LDL-C lowering to reach their treatment goal. Most
patients can’t/won’t access expensive, inconvenient, injectable PCSK9i therapies.

The goal of our Phase 3 Program is to evaluate the efficacy and long-term safety and tolerability of bempedoic acid
added-on to maximally tolerated LDL-C lowering therapies in high-risk patients with hypercholesterolemia
(LDL-C > 100 mg/dL) in two patient populations:

1 2
High-risk patients on maximally tolerated doses of
statins who require additional LDL-C lowering High-risk patients who are considered statin intolerant

(~8.5 – 9 million patients) (~3.5 - 4 million patients)

 Study 3 (1002-046) – Conclusions
Bempedoic Acid Could Be an Important New Oral Treatment Option

In this Phase 3 study, bempedoic acid and provided clinically relevant and statistically significant
LDL-C lowering and reductions in hsCRP in high-risk statin intolerant patients, and was observed to
be safe and well-tolerated.

Bempedoic acid could be an important, new, convenient, once-daily, oral treatment option that
complements the LDL-C lowering efficacy of available LDL-C lowering therapies, including statins,
ezetimibe and PCSK9i.

In the coming months, results from our remaining pivotal Phase 3 studies are expected to further
validate the efficacy, safety and tolerability profile of bempedoic acid and the bempedoic acid /
ezetimibe combination pill as convenient, once-daily, oral therapies that are complementary to
existing standard of care LDL-C lowering therapies.

Overview of LDL-C and hsCRP Reductions
• Among the completed phase 2 clinical trials:
• Bempedoic acid 180 mg monotherapy produced LDL-C lowering of 30%
• Bempedoic acid 180 mg/ezetimibe 10 mg combination monotherapy produced LDL-C lowering of 50%
• Bempedoic acid 180 mg on top of background statins produced LDL-C lowering of 20-24%

• Among the three completed phase 3 clinical trials*:

• In study 1 (patients with ASCVD on MTD statin), bempedoic acid 180 mg lowered LDL-C by 20%
• In study 3 (statin intolerant patients, 8% on very low dose statin) bempedoic acid lowered LDL-C by
26%
• In study 4 (statin intolerant patients, 30% on low dose statin), bempedoic acid lowered LDL-C by 28%

• Among all of the phase 2 and 3 trials, the reductions in hsCRP have ranged from 22-40% across
all patient populations

 CLEAR Outcomes Powering Assumptions: Insights from Study 3

• Study 3 enrolled a very similar patient population to CLEAR Outcomes: statin intolerant, taking no or
very low doses of statins, ASCVD or at high risk for ASCVD, higher baseline LDL-C than other studies.
• In a CVOT with a baseline LDL-C of ~135 mg/dL, the LDL-C lowering in Study 3 in statin intolerant
patients would be expected to produce an absolute LDL-C reduction of ~35 mg/dL.
• Based on the Cholesterol Treatment Trialists’ meta-analysis of major statin CVOTs, this reduction in LDL-C
would be expected to translate to a ~20% reduction in major CV events.
• The CTT also referenced length of treatment as a factor in the magnitude of CV risk reduction;
therefore the expected ~4 year follow up in CLEAR Outcomes (similar to statin CVOTs; longer than
PCSK9 CVOTs) helps support the expected relative risk reduction.
• Based on the expected unit reduction in LDL-C in CLEAR Outcome based on our findings in Study 3, we
are confident that bempedoic acid will show a statistically significant and clinically relevant reduction
in CV risk.

Cumulative Phase 2 / Phase 3 Results – Conclusions
Bempedoic Acid Could Be an Important New Oral Treatment Option

Across the Phase 2 and Phase 3 programs, bempedoic acid provided clinically relevant and
statistically significant LDL-C lowering and reductions in hsCRP in high-risk patients, including those
on background statin therapy and those unable to tolerate statins and considered statin intolerant,
and was observed to be safe and well-tolerated.

Bempedoic acid can be an important, new, convenient, once-daily, oral treatment option that
complements the LDL-C lowering efficacy of available LDL-C lowering therapies, including statins,
ezetimibe and PCSK9i.

In the coming months, results from our two remaining pivotal Phase 3 studies are expected to
further validate the efficacy, safety and tolerability profile of bempedoic acid and the bempedoic acid
/ ezetimibe combination pill as convenient, once-daily, oral therapies that are complementary to
existing standard of care LDL-C lowering therapies.
