2 \| Forward - Looking Statements This presentation contains forward - looking statements for the purposes of the safe harbor provisions under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws . The use of words such as "anticipate," "expect," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "may," or "potential," and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward - looking statements, although not all forward - looking statements contain these identifying words . These forward - looking statements include, among other things, statements about expectations for Voyager's achievement of preclinical and clinical development milestones for its potential development candidates such as the identification of lead development candidates, IND and CTA filings, the initiation of clinical trials, and the generation of clinical data and proof - of - concept ; the potential for third - party clinical data to inform Voyager's product development programs ; Voyager's ability to expand from gene therapy and antibodies into other modalities of neurogenetic medicine ; Voyager's ability to generate near - term and long - term funding through reimbursement, upfront, milestone and royalty - based fees (as applicable) under its existing licensing and collaboration agreements, and to obtain data regarding the performance of its TRACER - derived capsid families licensed to its collaborators and partners under such agreements ; Voyager's ability to maintain and advance product development programs under its current partnerships and collaborations, including the anticipated timing of regulatory submissions by collaborators ; and the sufficiency of Voyager's cash resources . These forward - looking statements are only predictions, and Voyager may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in the forward - looking statements . All forward - looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions by Voyager's management that, although Voyager believes such forward - looking statements to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain and subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that Voyager expected . Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, the expectations and decisions of regulatory authorities ; the timing, initiation, conduct, and outcomes of Voyager's preclinical studies and clinical trials ; the availability of data from internal or third - party clinical trials ; the success of Voyager's product candidates ; the availability or commercial potential of product candidates under collaborations ; the willingness and ability of Voyager's collaboration partners to meet obligations under collaboration agreements with Voyager ; the continued development of Voyager's technology platforms, including Voyager's TRACER capsid discovery platform and its non - viral discovery platform ; Voyager's scientific approach and program development progress, and the restricted supply and increased costs of critical research components ; the development by third parties of capsid identification platforms and capsids that may be competitive to Voyager's TRACER capsid discovery platform ; Voyager's ability to create and protect intellectual property rights associated with the TRACER capsid discovery and non - viral platforms, the capsids and ligands identified by the platforms, and development candidates for Voyager's pipeline programs ; the possibility and the timing of Voyager's receipt of program reimbursement, development or commercialization milestones, option exercise, and other payments under Voyager's existing licensing or collaboration agreements ; the ability of Voyager to negotiate and complete licensing or collaboration agreements with other parties on terms acceptable to Voyager and the third parties ; the success of programs controlled by third - party collaborators in which Voyager retains a financial interest ; the ability to attract and retain talented directors, employees, and contractors ; and the sufficiency of Voyager's cash resources . These statements are also subject to a number of material risks and uncertainties that are described in Voyager's most recent Annual Report on Form 10 - K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as updated by its subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission . Any forward - looking statement speaks only as of the date on which this presentation was presented . Voyager undertakes no 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 .© Voyager Therapeutics, Inc .

5 \| 1 st - Generation TfR Shuttles Show Transformative Benefit for CNS Biotherapeutics… Building on First - Generation Transferrin Receptor (TfR) Shuttles Each BBB transporter target offers unique properties: • Pharmacokinetics of delivery (e.g. TfR provides rapid uptake with fast clearance) • Biodistribution throughout the body (e.g. TfR has high expression peripherally and within the CNS) • Safety considerations – endogenous transporter function (e.g. TfR is a critical regulator of iron homeostasis) Un - Shuttled (gantenerumab) ~28% of patients = amyloid PET negative 1 …Yet there is room for improvement and expansion 1.

PMID: 40386289; PMCID: PMC12083982. ALPL plays a key role in skeletal and dental mineralization, liver function, and neurotransmitter synthesis. 2 • Decreased levels of ALPL (~30% residual activity) can result in bone hypomineralization or cardiovascular complications. 3 • Genetic data indicate partial loss of function is tolerable. 3 • Preclinical studies ongoing to identify potential safety profile of ALPL - VYGR - NeuroShuttle .
