Global SDEA between SANOFI GPV and REGULUS for therapeutic MicroRNA Mir-21 Compounds and Products for use in Fibrosis APPENDICES APPENDIX 1: DEFINITIONS “Adverse Event” or “AE” shall mean any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical trial subject administered Product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g. an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a Product, whether or not considered related to the Product. In addition to the foregoing, in the context of clinical trials an AE will also mean events associated with and / or possibly attributable to the clinical trial protocol design or clinical trial procedures. “Adverse Event of Special Interest” or “AESI” shall mean an adverse event (serious or non-serious) of scientific and medical concern specific to the Product, for which ongoing monitoring and rapid communication by the investigator to the relevant sponsor of the clinical trial may be appropriate. Such events may require further investigation in order to characterize and understand them. “Affiliate or Affiliated Company(/ies)” shall mean any company which controls, is controlled by or is under common control of SANOFI or REGULUS. For the purposes hereof, “control” shall mean the direct or indirect ownership of at least fifty per cent (50%) of the voting share capital of any company or the power to designate a majority of the members of its principal management body. “Adverse Reactions” or “ADR”: shall mean Regarding pre-approval clinical experience: “All noxious and unintended responses to medicinal product related to any dose should be considered adverse drug reactions.” The phrase “responses to a medicinal product” means that a causal relationship between a medicinal product and an adverse event is at least a reasonable possibility (i.e., the relationship cannot be ruled out). Regarding marketed medicinal products: “An ADR is a response to a drug which is noxious and unintended and which occurs at any doses normally used in man for prophylaxis, diagnosis, therapy of disease or for modification of physiological function.” “Data Lock Point”: shall mean the date designated as the cut-off date for data to be included in the periodic safety reports for the Product (e.g. DSUR, Semi-annual Safety Reports (SASR)) based on the development international birth date. Page 11 of 21
Global SDEA between SANOFI GPV and REGULUS for therapeutic MicroRNA Mir-21 Compounds and Products for use in Fibrosis “Emerging Safety Issue” (as per Guideline on good pharmacovigilance practices (GVP) Module IX): A safety issue considered by a marketing authorization holder to require urgent attention by the competent authority because of the potential major impact on the risk-benefit balance of the medicinal product and / or on patients’ or public health, and the potential need for prompt regulatory action and communication to patients and healthcare professionals. Examples include: • major safety issues identified in the context of ongoing or newly completed studies, e.g. an unexpectedly increased rate of fatal or life- threatening adverse events; • major safety issues identified through spontaneous reporting or published in the scientific literature, which may lead to considering a contra-indication, a restriction of use of the medicinal product or its withdrawal from the market; • major safety-related regulatory actions outside the EU, e.g. a restriction of the use of the medicinal product or its suspension. “ICSR” shall mean the document summarizing all available information related to an individual case safety report at a specific point of time. An Individual Case Safety Report (ICSR) is considered valid as soon as the four minimal elements are cumulatively available: 1. An identifiable patient 2. An identifiable reporter 3. At least one suspect medicinal Product concerned by this SDEA 4. At least one suspected adverse reaction or a special reporting situation as defined below (see PV data) “Pharmacovigilance or (PV) Data” shall mean the following sources and circumstances : • Serious Adverse Events (as defined below) from solicited reporting schemes including interventional studies, i.e., the solicited serious adverse events whether or not causally related to the Products. • Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs) (as defined above). • Adverse Event (AE) associated with a suspected or confirmed falsified medicinal Products or with a quality defect of a medicinal Products. • The following special situations, even when no AE has occurred: suspected interaction(s), Products, or Products metabolite(s), exposure to embryos, fetuses or children via parent (including breastfeeding), lack of therapeutic efficacy, intentional or unintentional overdose of the Products, misuse and / or abuse of the Products including off label use (i.e. use outside the terms of the marketing authorization), medication errors (e.g. erroneous dispensing), events occurring during occupational Page 12 of 21
Global SDEA between SANOFI GPV and REGULUS for therapeutic MicroRNA Mir-21 Compounds and Products for use in Fibrosis exposure, suspected transmission via the medicinal Products of an infectious agent. • Unintended beneficial effects, Safety Signals as defined hereafter and any other information relevant to the safety of the Products. “Non-Valid ICSR” shall mean a document summarizing all available information related to an individual case safety report at a specific point of time which is missing one of the four minimal elements (see ICSR definition above): aside from at least one active substance or suspect medicinal Product concerned by this SDEA. “Receipt Date/Day 0” shall mean the first day when a Party or any entity acting on behalf of such Party gains knowledge of an ICSR, whether valid or non-valid, irrespective of whether the information is received during a weekend or public holiday. This date is considered as Day “0” for reporting of valid ICSR to the EMA or any other competent authority. “Risk” shall mean any risk relating to the quality, safety or efficacy of the Product as regards patient’ health or public health and any risk of undesirable effects on the environment. “Safety Signal” shall mean information that arises from one or multiple sources (including observations and experiments) which suggests a new potentially causal association or a new aspect of a known association between an intervention and an event or set of related events, either adverse or beneficial that is judged to be of sufficient likelihood to justify verification action. “Serious Adverse Event” or “SAE” A serious adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: • Results in death; • Is immediately life-threatening (which means): the patient was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it was more severe); • Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; • Results in persistent or significant disability and / or incapacity; • Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or • Is an Important Medical Event (IME): Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether an event is a serious adverse event and therefore subject to the expedited reporting set out in this SDEA such as important medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the patient or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above. Examples of such events are intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, Page 13 of 21

On February 4, 2014, Regulus entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Sanofi-Regulus License”) with Sanofi, a company organized under the laws of France, having a place of business at 00, xxx xx Xxxxxx, 00000, Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, registered in
the Paris Trade and Company Register under no. 395 030 844 (“Sanofi”), pursuant to which, among other things, Regulus assumed responsibility for all activities under each POC Program Plan (other than Sanofi Program Activities) through the Achievement of Proof of Concept (each as defined in the Sanofi-Regulus License). Regulus has now suspended the Mir-21 Fibrosis POC Program and has requested that Sanofi amend, and Sanofi has agreed to amend, the Sanofi-Regulus License as it pertains to the Mir-21 POC Programs, Mir-21 Compounds and Mir-21 Products, to provide for, among other things: (a) Sanofi to take responsibility for the obligations of Regulus under the Sanofi- Regulus License with respect to the Mir-21 Fibrosis POC Program, Mir-21 Compounds and Mir-21 Products, including the administration and expense of clinical trials related to the Mir-21 Fibrosis POC Program (each as defined in the Sanofi-Regulus License); and (b) except as set forth in Section 8 of this Letter Agreement, the license and sublicense granted by Regulus to Sanofi with respect to Mir-21 Compounds and Mir-21 Products to be royalty-free. As a condition to entering into the amended Sanofi-Regulus License (once amended, the “Amended Sanofi-Regulus License”), Sanofi requests that Regulus and each of the Licensors execute this letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) where indicated below, memorializing their agreement to the following: Term. The provisions of this Letter Agreement shall be effective from the date of this Letter Agreement written above. This Letter Agreement shall terminate immediately upon (a) Sanofi providing each of the Licensors with an Option Declination Notice as set forth in Section 0 hereof or (b) Sanofi and each of the Licensors executing a New License Agreement as set forth in Section 0 hereof. No Consent Required to Sublicense. To the extent that the Licensors’ consent is required in order for Regulus to sublicense any of the rights granted by Regulus to Sanofi in the Amended Sanofi- Regulus License, each Licensor hereby acknowledges that Regulus may grant such sublicenses to Sanofi and hereby approves the sublicensing of such rights to Sanofi. No Opt-In Right. Each Licensor acknowledges that Regulus’ decision to suspend the Mir-21 Fibrosis POC Program and request that Sanofi amend the Sanofi-Regulus License to take responsibility for Regulus’ obligations under the Sanofi-Regulus License with respect to the Mir-21 Fibrosis POC Program, Mir-21 Compounds and Mir-21 Products, including the administration and expense of clinical trials related to the Mir-21 Fibrosis POC Program (each as defined in the Sanofi-Regulus License), does not give either of the Licensors the right to make an Opt-In Election (as defined in the Alnylam-Ionis License) under Section 5 (Right to Opt-In) of the Alnylam-Ionis License and that neither of the Licensors will make any such claim with respect to the Mir-21 Fibrosis POC Program (as defined in the Sanofi-Regulus License) now or at any time in the future. No Breach by Regulus. Each Licensor confirms that, as of the date of this Letter Agreement: (a) the Alnylam-Ionis License remains in full force and effect; (b) such Licensor has not given any notice to Regulus, and is not otherwise aware, of any breach by Regulus under the Alnylam-Ionis License; and (c) such Licensor has not taken any action or omitted to take any action that could be deemed a breach of its obligations under the Alnylam-Ionis License.
Amendments to Alnylam-Ionis License. Regulus shall give prompt written notice to Sanofi, together with a written summary of outstanding issues if Sanofi so requests, of any notice received from or given to the Licensors or either of them of any proposed amendments or proposed modifications of, or any proposed waivers under, the Alnylam-Ionis License. Except in the case of an uncured material breach by Sanofi or Regulus, Regulus and the Licensors agree that they will not amend the Alnylam-Ionis License so as to terminate or diminish the rights granted to Regulus under the Alnylam-Ionis License and sublicensed by Regulus to Sanofi under the Amended Sanofi-Regulus License, if any, in a manner that would diminish or undermine Sanofi’s rights under the Sanofi-Regulus License or this Letter Agreement without the prior written consent of Sanofi. Breach of the Alnylam-Ionis License. In the event of any breach by Regulus of the Alnylam-Ionis License that gives rise to the Licensors’ right to terminate the Alnylam-Ionis License, each Licensor shall promptly provide written notice to Sanofi of such breach (such notice to be provided concurrently with the first notice to Regulus of such breach), and Sanofi shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt to cure such breach on behalf of Regulus within the time periods set forth in the Alnylam-Ionis License. During the cure periods set forth in the Alnylam-Ionis License, the Licensors shall not terminate the Alnylam-Ionis License with respect to Regulus as a result of such breach. Direct License Upon Termination of the Alnylam-Ionis License. In the event that the Alnylam-Ionis License terminates for any reason, including material breach by Regulus, each Licensor shall promptly notify Sanofi and Sanofi shall have the right and option to obtain directly from the Licensors, acting jointly, a license under the Licensed IP (as defined in the Alnylam-Ionis License) with respect to Mir-21 Compounds and Mir-21 Products on substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Alnylam-Ionis License, as amended by Section 0 of this Letter Agreement (such right, the “License Option”), including with respect to the rights granted to Regulus in Section 2.2(b) of the Alnylam-Ionis License. Sanofi may exercise the License Option by providing a written notice to the Licensors thereof (the “Option Election Notice”) within […***…] ([…***…]) days from the date that a Licensor first notifies Sanofi that the Alnylam-Ionis License has terminated (the “Alnylam-Ionis License Termination Date”). If Sanofi elects not to exercise the License Option, it shall provide written notice thereof (the “Option Declination Notice”) to the Licensors within […***…] ([…***…]) days from the Alnylam- Ionis License Termination Date. If Sanofi does not provide an Option Election Notice to the Licensors within […***…] ([…***…]) days from the Alnylam-Ionis License Termination Date, then Sanofi will be deemed to have delivered the Licensors an Option Declination Notice. If Sanofi exercises the License Option, then the Licensors shall enter into an exclusive license agreement directly with Sanofi (the “New License Agreement”) under the Licensed IP (as defined in the Alnylam-Ionis License) with respect to Mir-21 Compounds and Mir-21 Products that was licensed to Regulus under the terminated Alnylam- Ionis License on substantially the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Alnylam-Ionis License, as amended by Section 0 of this Letter Agreement. Effective during the period beginning on the Alnylam-Ionis License Termination Date and ending on (a) the date that Sanofi provides the Option Declination Notice (if Sanofi declines the License Option) or (b) the date of execution of the New License Agreement (if Sanofi elects the License Option) (such period, the “Interim Period”), the Licensors shall automatically grant, and hereby do grant, to Sanofi a temporary continuation of the rights that Sanofi had as sublicensee of the Licensed IP (as defined in the Alnylam-Ionis License) under the Amended Sanofi- Regulus License prior to termination of the Alnylam-Ionis License (such ***Confidential Treatment Requested
rights, the “Temporary License”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, under both the New License Agreement and the Temporary License, (i) the scope and territory of the license granted to Sanofi shall be the same as that granted to Sanofi pursuant to the Amended Sanofi-Regulus License, (ii) the financial terms shall be as set forth in Section 0 of this Letter Agreement and (iii) the Licensors shall not have any obligations that are greater than or inconsistent with the obligations of the Licensors under the Alnylam-Ionis License. Financial Terms of Sublicense, New License Agreement and Temporary License. With respect to Net Sales (as defined in the Sanofi-Regulus License) of Mir-21 Products that are Royalty-Bearing Products (as defined in the Alnylam-Ionis License), whether pursuant to the sublicense under the Licensed IP (as defined in the Alnylam-Ionis License) granted by Regulus to Sanofi pursuant to the Amended Sanofi-Regulus License or the license under the Licensed IP granted by the Licensors to Sanofi pursuant to any New License Agreement or Temporary License (as applicable), Sanofi shall (i) directly pay Alnylama royalty of […***…]% of Net Sales of such Royalty-Bearing Products during the relevant Royalty Term (as defined below) and (ii) directly pay Ionis a royalty of […***…]% of Net Sales of such Royalty-Bearing Products during the relevant Royalty Term (as defined below). For clarity, the Licensors agree that the royalty payable by Sanofi to each Licensor with respect to Mir-21 Products that are Royalty-Bearing Products (whether pursuant to the sublicense under the Licensed IP granted by Regulus to Sanofi pursuant to the Amended Sanofi-Regulus License or the license under the Licensed IP granted by the Licensors to Sanofi pursuant to any New License Agreement or Temporary License, as applicable), shall be calculated based on Net Sales as such term is defined in Appendix 1 to the Sanofi-Regulus License (and not based on Net Sales as such term is defined in the Alnylam-Ionis License). Sanofi agrees that the royalty described in this Section 0 is payable to each Licensor, regardless of whether a particular Mir-21 Product that is a Royalty-Bearing Product is covered by such Licensor’s Licensed IP. The Licensors hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision of the Alnylam-Ionis License to the contrary, and except for the royalty set forth above in this Section 0, neither Regulus nor Sanofi shall have any royalty, sublicense income or other payment obligations to the Licensors with respect to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of Mir-21 Compounds and Mir-21 Products, including, without limitation, with respect to any payment paid or payable by Sanofi to Regulus pursuant to the Amended Sanofi-Regulus License. Sanofi agrees to be bound by Section 8 of the Alnylam-Ionis License, mutatis mutandis, with respect to its royalty payment obligations under this Section 0. The Licensors will not be required to share any such royalties with Regulus. Royalties under this Section 0 will be payable with respect to a Mir-21 Product that is a Royalty-Bearing Product on a Royalty-Bearing Product-by-Royalty-Bearing Product and country-by- country basis from the First Commercial Sale (as defined in the Amended Sanofi-Regulus License) of a Mir-21 Product that is a Royalty-Bearing Product in a country until the date that is the latest of (a) the time during which the applicable Regulatory Authority in such country is not permitted to grant Regulatory Approval for a generic equivalent of such Royalty-Bearing Product, and (b) the expiration of the last to expire Valid Claim (as defined in the Alnylam-Ionis License) within the Regulus Patents (as defined below) that Cover (as defined in the Alnylam-Ionis License) (i) the Manufacture (as defined in the Alnylam-Ionis License) of such Royalty-Bearing Product in such country or (ii) the use, sale or other Commercialization (as defined in the Alnylam-Ionis License) of such Royalty-Bearing Product in such country (such period, the “Royalty Term”). For purposes of this Section 0, “Regulus Patents” shall mean, collectively: (A) the Patent Rights (as defined in the Alnylam-Ionis License) included in, as applicable, (1) the Licensed IP sublicensed by ***Confidential Treatment Requested
Regulus to Sanofi pursuant to the Amended Sanofi-Regulus License or (2) the Licensed IP licensed by the Licensors to Sanofi pursuant to any New License Agreement or Temporary License (as applicable); and (B) any other Regulus Patents (as defined in the Sanofi-Regulus License), which, for clarity and solely for purposes of this Section 0, shall include the Mir-21 Product Specific Patents (as defined in the Amended Sanofi-Regulus License). Interpretation under Sanofi Ionis Agreement. Notwithstanding the Amended Sanofi-Regulus License, Ionis and Sanofi hereby agree that any Oligonucleotide, as such term is defined under that certain License Agreement dated June 27, 2014 between Ionis and Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sanofi, (such License Agreement the “Sanofi-Ionis Agreement”), that, prior to the Amended Sanofi-Regulus License, was deemed to be a Third Party- Oligonucleotide under the Sanofi-Ionis Agreement, shall continue to be deemed Third Party- Oligonucleotides for purposes of the Sanofi-Ionis Agreement. Assignment of Alnylam-Ionis License.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have caused this Letter Agreement to be executed by their respective duly authorized officers as of the dates listed below. [LICENSOR] SANOFI By By Name Name Title Title Date Date
EXHIBIT E Form of Press Release Regulus Announces Successful Restructuring of Sanofi Collaboration Sanofi Will Assume Development of RG-012 for Alport syndrome LA JOLLA, Calif., November [], 2018 – Regulus Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: RGLS), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of innovative medicines targeting microRNAs, today announced that it has amended and restructured its Collaboration and License Agreement with Sanofi (the “Amendment”). Under the terms of the Amendment, Regulus has granted Sanofi a worldwide exclusive license to develop and commercialize its investigational drug, targeting miR-21 for all indications, including Alport syndrome. Under the Amendment, Sanofi will assume all future costs and development activities associated with the advancement of RG-012, currently in Phase II for Alport syndrome. Under the terms of the Amendment, Regulus is eligible to receive approximately $7 million in upfront and material transfer payments. Regulus is also eligible to receive up to $40 million in development milestone payments. In addition, Sanofi will reimburse Regulus for certain out-of-pocket transition activities and assume Regulus’ upstream license royalty obligations. “We are pleased with Sanofi’s election to assume ongoing and future development of the RG-012 program in order to apply their expertise in rare diseases and to bring it forward as a potential new therapy for patients with Alport syndrome.” said Xxx Xxxxx, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regulus. “We look forward to a rapid transition of the program to Sanofi and their ongoing clinical development, while we continue to focus on our stated near-term objectives. Specifically, we believe this restructuring will improve our net cash position, yielding near term cash proceeds, eliminating RG-012-related spend over the next several years, and will enable us to focus our resources on our other promising programs targeting significant unmet medical needs in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease and Hepatitis B virus.” About Alport Syndrome Alport syndrome is an inherited form of kidney disease caused by mutations in the type IV xxxxxxxx xxxxx (Xxx0X0, Xxx0X0 and Col4A5). Type IV collagen is important for maintaining the integrity of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), a vital component in the kidney structure and filtration process. The genetic mutation in the collagen gene results in thickening in the GBM and impairment of glomerular filtration. Alport syndrome patients experience a progressive loss of kidney function, which ultimately leads to end stage renal disease requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation, or may even lead to death. Alport syndrome can also cause hearing loss and eye abnormalities during late childhood or early adolescence. ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors, although not approved for the indication, are emerging as standard of care in patients with Alport syndrome to treat proteinuria, or abnormal amounts of protein in the urine, an indicator of chronic kidney disease. Alport syndrome represents a high unmet medical need with no approved therapy. miR-21 is believed to play a role in the disease
progression and is up-regulated in Col4A3 deficient mouse models of Alport syndrome, other renal fibrosis models and human CKD patients. The role of miR-21 has been validated through genetic knock-out models and anti-miRs targeting miR-21 have reduced the severity of fibrosis in two distinct preclinical rodent models. About RG-012 RG-012 is an investigational, single stranded, chemically modified oligonucleotide that binds to and inhibits the function of miR-21 for the treatment of Alport syndrome. In preclinical studies, RG-012 has demonstrated potent inhibition of miR-21 in vitro and in vivo, a decrease in the rate of progression of renal fibrosis, an increase in the lifespan of the Col4A3 deficient mice by up to fifty percent. In May 2017, Regulus completed a Phase I multiple-ascending dose, or MAD, study in 24 healthy volunteers (six-week repeat dosing) to determine safety, tolerability and PK of RG-012 prior to chronic dosing in patients. In Phase I clinical studies to date there were no serious adverse events, or SAEs, reported. Preliminary data from the first patients through a renal biopsy study followed by an open-label extension were encouraging, with kidney tissue concentrations achieved that would be predictive of therapeutic benefit based on animal disease models. In addition, modulation of the target, miR-21, was observed. RG-012 has received orphan designation in both the U.S. and Europe. About Regulus Regulus Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: RGLS) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of innovative medicines targeting microRNAs. Regulus has leveraged its oligonucleotide drug discovery and development expertise to develop a pipeline complemented by a rich intellectual property estate in the microRNA field.
