April 21, 2021<\/p>\n

Dear Fellow Stockholder,<\/p>\n

Adverum has taken significant and deliberate steps in recent years to establish a world-class, highly qualified, independent and diverse Board of Directors. Your Board has the right mix of skills and experience as we move toward commercialization of ADVM-022, our one-time, in-office advanced gene therapy for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (\u201cwet AMD\u201d) and diabetic macular edema (\u201cDME\u201d), which are two of the leading causes of blindness impacting nine million people globally.<\/p>\n

As Adverum has progressed to late stage development in 2021, identifying the right talent and skillsets required to bring ADVM-022 to millions of patients worldwide, so too has the quality of our Board. Simply put, our Board is extremely well-positioned as we accelerate our development and commercialization strategy and drive value for our stockholders.<\/p>\n

\n VOTE THE <\/strong>
\n
\n WHITE<\/u>
\n <\/strong>
\n PROXY CARD \u201cFOR\u201d ALL OF ADVERUM\u2019S THREE HIGHLY QUALIFIED, DIVERSE AND INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS: DAWN SVORONOS, REED V. TUCKSON, M.D. AND THOMAS WOIWODE, PH.D.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

\n Meet Your Board Nominees<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

A\u00a0graphic accompanying this announcement is available at\u00a0https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/NewsRoom\/AttachmentNg\/a1385167-dcab-4192-9443-02f9602e567e<\/a><\/p>\n

\n OUR THREE DIRECTOR CANDIDATES BRING CONSIDERABLE DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT AND CRITICAL SECTOR EXPERTISE TO SUPPORT A SUCCESSFUL COMMERCIAL LAUNCH OF <\/strong>
\n ADVM-022<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Not only is Adverum\u2019s Board slate ideally qualified to advance our strategy towards a Biologics License Application filing in 2024, we are committed to continuous improvement. In the last two years, the Board has appointed seven new independent directors, three in May 2019 and four thereafter, including Ms. Svoronos and Dr. Tuckson in December 2020 and February 2021, respectively. And we\u2019re not stopping there. The Board is continuing its refreshment efforts and has already begun a process to recruit a high-quality independent director with commercial gene therapy experience to be named in 2021. As part of this process, we have been actively engaging with our stockholders about top candidates and already interviewed candidates to fill this slot.<\/p>\n

A vote on the WHITE<\/u><\/strong> proxy card is a vote FOR:<\/p>\n

\n SONIC\u2019S NOMINEES ARE NOT ADDITIVE TO THE ADVERUM BOARD <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

As you know, The Sonic Fund II, L.P. has proposed nominees that, if elected, together with its two designees appointed in 2019, would constitute more than half of the Board. Sonic\u2019s nomination of three candidates for election to the Board is not in the best interest of our stockholders \u2013 their election would diminish the diversity and the needed skills and experience represented on our Board, and there is no reason to believe they would enhance our efforts to advance ADVM-022 toward commercialization and deliver global access to our vision-saving gene therapy. <\/u><\/p>\n

Not only would the resulting loss of Ms. Svoronos, Dr. Tuckson and Dr. Woiwode from your Board significantly harm our ability to generate value, we strongly believe that your Board\u2019s current process to identify a new director with commercial gene therapy experience is superior to relying solely on input from one stockholder who is trying to control the Board.<\/p>\n

Importantly, Sonic has not presented any meaningful strategy or articulated any plan that would advance Adverum\u2019s mission or increase value to our stockholders. Lawrence Kam, Sonic\u2019s principal, has no drug development experience whatsoever and has done nothing other than disparage members of our team with no substantiation and has presented arbitrary ideas that would destroy stockholder value, including inferences that improved communication rather than scientific rigor and transparent presentation of data at peer-reviewed conferences is the solution. Put simply, Sonic is putting at risk Adverum\u2019s laser focus on commercializing our gene therapy technology and credibility, even suggesting to reunite a leadership team that led Avalanche Biotechnologies, one of the two companies that merged in 2016 to form Adverum. Our stockholders should not allow Sonic to impede our momentum and threaten the development and eventual commercialization of the first mass market gene therapy product.<\/p>\n

\n This is all against the backdrop of Adverum making tremendous progress and already delivering meaningful stockholder value. Adverum has delivered five, three and two-year total stockholder return of 91%, 70% and 88% respectively, significantly outperforming gene therapy peers.<\/u>
\n
\n 1<\/u>
\n <\/sup>\n <\/p>\n

\n Please protect your investment in Adverum and vote \u201cFOR\u201d ALL three of Adverum’s nominees listed on the <\/strong>
\n
\n WHITE<\/u>
\n <\/strong>
\n proxy card: Ms. Svoronos, Dr. Tuckson and Dr. Woiwode <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

We are confident that Adverum\u2019s Board and our 2021 nominees possess the expertise, operational and industry experience, knowledge and skills to support the continued execution of Adverum\u2019s strategy and drive long-term stockholder value.<\/p>\n

Simply follow the easy instructions on the enclosed proxy card to vote by telephone, by internet or by signing, dating and returning the WHITE<\/u><\/strong> proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. Please disregard any green proxy card you get from Sonic.<\/p>\n

We appreciate your continued support.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

The Adverum Board of Directors<\/p>\n
