About Cytokinetics
Cytokinetics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the
discovery and development of novel small molecule therapeutics that modulate
muscle function for the potential treatment of serious diseases and medical
conditions. Cytokinetics' lead drug candidate from its cardiac muscle
contractility program, omecamtiv mecarbil, is in Phase II clinical development
for the potential treatment of heart failure. Amgen Inc. holds an exclusive
license worldwide to develop and commercialize omecamtiv mecarbil and related
compounds, subject to Cytokinetics' specified development and commercialization
participation rights. Cytokinetics is independently developing tirasemtiv, a
fast skeletal muscle activator, as a potential treatment for diseases and
medical conditions associated with neuromuscular dysfunction. Tirasemtiv is
currently the subject of a Phase II clinical trials program and has been granted
orphan drug designation and fast track status by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration and orphan medicinal product designation by the European
Medicines Agency for the potential treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a
debilitating disease of neuromuscular impairment. Cytokinetics is collaborating
with Astellas Pharma Inc. to develop CK-2127107, a skeletal muscle activator
structurally distinct from tirasemtiv, for non-neuromuscular indications. All of
these drug candidates have arisen from Cytokinetics' muscle biology focused
research activities and are directed towards the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton
is a complex biological infrastructure that plays a fundamental role within
every human cell. Additional information about Cytokinetics can be obtained at

trials or preclinical studies may not be indicative of future clinical trials
results and that Cytokinetics' drug candidates and potential drug candidates may
