    Company overview

    AMT is a biopharmaceutical company that develops gene-based
    therapies for orphan diseases. These diseases are associated with
    significant morbidity and mortality resulting in substantial costs to
    society, as about 6% to 8% of the total population in the Western
    world is affected by one of the circa 8,000 different orphan diseases
    that have been identified to date. About 80% of these identified
    orphan diseases are genetic disorders. By inserting the correct gene
    in the relevant tissues, our gene therapy products offer a long-term
    cure of the respective disease, whereas existing treatments only treat
    symptoms and subsequent medical complications.

    AMT's product pipeline currently consists of six products in
    different stages of development. Its lead product, AMT-011 to treat
    LPL deficiency, a very serious and rare metabolic disease, is
    currently in pre-registration clinical trials. For this product AMT
    expects to file in Europe for market authorization in the first
    quarter of 2008, followed by a filing in the US and Canada.

    All of the products in AMT's pipeline are based on its AAV (Adeno
    Associated Virus)-based gene insertion technology platform and its
    baculovirus based manufacturing platform. AMT is focusing on AAV,
    because of its proven safety. AMT genetically engineers AAV vectors to
    target various organs or specific tissues, such as muscle or liver,
    and even specific types of cells within these organs. By combining its
    AAV-based vectors with different therapeutic genes and tissue specific
    promoters, AMT has a platform vector technology that is modular in
    approach and this can facilitate fast product design timelines for its
    future products.

    AMT's competitive strengths and attributes are as follows:

    -- Delivery of a single-dose long-term cure for serious and rare
    diseases (orphan diseases);

    -- Modular platform that can be applied to a large number of
    diseases;

    -- Potential to shorten time-to-market because of R&D
    capabilities and processes as well as its orphan drug focus;

    -- Collaborations with leading academic research groups fueling
    our future product pipeline; and

    -- A proven ability to upscale the manufacturing of our lead
    products.

    The company's Management, Supervisory Board and Scientific
    Advisory Board bring together an extensive know-how of genetics and
    the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. The company was founded in
    1998 by scientists of the University of Amsterdam Medical Center
    (AMC).

    Use of proceeds

    AMT intends to use the proceeds of the IPO primarily for the
    development and commercialization of its products and to build a
    specialized marketing and sales team for Europe and North America
    capable of selling its lead product AMT-011 for LPL deficiency.
