**Relay Therapeutics Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results and Corporate Highlights**

Advanced RLY-4008: Reported interim data with 88% overall response rate at pivotal dose and 63% across all doses in pan-FGFR treatment-naïve, FGFR2-fusion cholangiocarcinoma patients & announced anticipated registrational path

Progressed & expanded breast cancer portfolio: Continued monotherapy and initiated combination arms in study of PI3Kα inhibitor RLY-2608 & disclosed 3 new pre-clinical programs

Raised $300.0 million of gross proceeds in underwritten follow-on public offering

Approximately $1 billion in cash, cash equivalents and investments at end of 2022, expected to fund operations into 2025

Cambridge, Mass. – February 23, 2023 – Relay Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RLAY), a clinical-stage precision medicine company transforming the drug discovery process by combining leading-edge computational and experimental technologies, today reported fourth quarter and full year 2022 financial results and corporate highlights.

"We successfully executed against our strategy in 2022, advancing multiple clinical and pre-clinical programs and continuing to demonstrate the power of our Dynamo platform," said Sanjiv Patel, M.D., president and chief executive officer of Relay Therapeutics. "We reported additional RLY-4008 interim data showing an overall response rate of 63% across all doses and 88% at the pivotal dose, building on the previously reported early data and supporting our belief that limiting off-target effects and toxicity can allow us to improve efficacy. We also expanded our breast cancer portfolio, continuing clinical development of RLY-2608 and announcing three new programs. With a robust pipeline and cash in hand to fund us into 2025, we are excited to continue to execute on our plans and deliver against our milestones this year, as we work toward our goal of bringing life-changing therapies to patients."

**2022 Corporate Highlights**

RLY-4008 (FGFR2 inhibitor)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Presented additional interim data from patients with FGFRi-naïve FGFR2-fusion cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) at European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2022. Key highlights included:

oAll doses – 63% interim overall response rate (ORR): across all dose levels and schedules, 24 of 38 efficacy-evaluable patients experienced a partial response (22 confirmed, 2 unconfirmed)

oPivotal dose (70 mg once daily) – 88% ORR: 15 of 17 efficacy-evaluable patients experienced a partial response (14 confirmed, 1 unconfirmed in an ongoing patient)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•13 out of these 15 responders remain on treatment; 1 responder came off study to be resected with curative intent

------

oMost treatment emergent adverse events were expected FGFR2 on-target, low-grade, monitorable, manageable and largely reversible

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•There were no observed Grade 4 or 5 adverse events, and off-target toxicities of hyperphosphatemia and diarrhea continued to be clinically insignificant

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Based on discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, moved forward with a single-arm pivotal trial design for patients with pan-FGFR (FGFRi) treatment-naïve FGFR2-fusion CCA at 70 mg once daily to potentially support accelerated approval

oAnticipate completing enrollment in pivotal cohort in the second half of 2023

Breast Cancer Portfolio

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•RLY-2608 (pan-mutant and isoform-selective PI3Kα inhibitor)

oCombination: In April 2022, initiated dose escalation portion of a fulvestrant combination arm in patients with HR+, HER2–, PI3Kα-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer

oAnticipate disclosing initial clinical data from both dose escalation portions in the first half of 2023

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•In June 2022, disclosed three new programs:

oSelective CDK2 inhibitor, anticipated clinical start in early 2024

oERα degrader, development candidate nomination in 2023

oRLY-5836 (chemically distinct pan mutant-PI3Kα inhibitor), expected to enter the clinic in the second quarter of 2023

oFull dose escalation data in the first half of 2023

oComplete enrollment of pivotal cohort in the second half of 2023

oData from non-CCA expansion cohorts in the second half of 2023

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Breast Cancer
