Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” that involve substantial risks and uncertainties for purposes of the safe harbor provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this presentation regarding strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected expenses, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. In addition, when or if used in this presentation, the words “may,” “could,” “should,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “predict” and similar expressions and their variants may identify forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the approach we are taking to discover and develop novel therapeutics using synthetic biology; statements regarding the potential of our platform to develop therapeutics to address a wide range of diseases including: inborn errors of metabolism, liver disease, inflammatory and immune disorders, and cancer; the future clinical development of Synthetic Biotic medicines; the potential of our technology to treat hyperammonemia and phenylketonuria; the expected timing of our anticipated clinical trial initiations; the benefit of orphan drug and fast track status; the adequacy of our capital to support our future operations and our ability to successfully initiate and complete clinical trials; the results of our collaborations; and the difficulty in predicting the time and cost of development of our product candidates. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement as a result of various factors, including, without limitation: the uncertainties inherent in the preclinical development process; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; and legislative, regulatory, political and economic developments, as well as those risks identified under the heading “Risk Factors” in our filings with the SEC. The foregoing review of important factors that could cause actual events to differ from expectations should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with statements that are included herein and elsewhere, including the risk factors included in our quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 9, 2018. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation reflect our current views with respect to future events. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our view as of any date subsequent to the date hereof. © 2018 Synlogic, Inc. All rights reserved. 2

SITC 2018: MIW815 STING agonist 41 pretreated patients with solid tumors or lymphomasNo DLTsThe most common AEs: pyrexia (7; 17.1%), injection site pain (6; 14.6%), headache (6; 14.6%). Grade 3/ 4 AEs: increased lipase (2; 4.9%), elevatedamylase, tumor pain, dyspnea, respiratory failure,and injection site reaction (1 each; 2.4%). On-treatment tumor biopsies showed increases in CD8 T cells infiltrating the injected tumors in a subset of patients.

Conclusions Immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors can be effective in subsets of patients with melanoma, lung cancer and other tumor typesImmunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors has not shown enough activity resulting in FDA approval in many common cancers including breast cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, MSS colorectal cancer and sarcomas, which creates unmet need for novel therapeutic approachesTurning cold tumors into hot with activators of innate immunity such as STING agonists (and others) offers a new promising approach to increase efficacy of cancer immunotherapy
