Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains "forward-looking statements" of Adicet Bio, Inc. (Adicet or the Company) within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating to business and operations of Adicet.  These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, express or implied statements regarding: preclinical and clinical development of Adicet's product candidates, including future plans or expectations for ADI-001 and ADI-270 and the potential safety, durability, tolerability and efficacy of these product candidates; the expected progress, timing and success of the Phase 1 clinical trial of ADI-001, including continued enrollment and expectations around a clinical update in the second half of 2024; the Company's plan to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial of ADI-001 in lupus nephritis, including the potential for a clinical update in the second half of 2024;  the Company's expansion into other autoimmune indications in the future, including IND submissions, acceptances and the initiation of clinical trials; the Company's expectations regarding the submission of an IND for ADI-270 in renal cell carcinoma in the second quarter of 2024 and timing for future clinical updates; and expectations regarding its uses of capital, expenses and financial results, including the expected cash runway.  Any forward-looking statements in this presentation are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs of future events, and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those set forth in or implied by such forward-looking statements, including without limitation, the effect of global economic conditions and public health emergencies on Adicet’s business and financial results, including with respect to disruptions to its preclinical and clinical studies, business operations, and ability to raise additional capital; Adicet’s ability to execute on its strategy, including obtaining the requisite regulatory approvals on the expected timeline if at all; that positive results, including interim results, from a preclinical or clinical study may not necessarily be predictive of the results of future or ongoing studies; clinical studies may fail to demonstrate adequate safety and efficacy of Adicet's product candidates, which would prevent, delay, or limit the scope of regulatory approval and commercialization and regulatory approval processes of the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities are lengthy, time-consuming, and inherently unpredictable. For a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties, and other important factors, any of which could cause Adicet’s actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Adicet’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, All information in this presentation is as of the date its release, and Adicet undertakes no duty to update this information unless required by law. Industry and Market Information Information regarding market share, market position and industry data pertaining to Adicet’s business contained in this presentation consists of estimates based on data and reports compiled by industry professional organizations and analysts and Adicet’s knowledge of their industry. Although Adicet believes the industry and market data to be reliable, this information could prove to be inaccurate. You should carefully consider the inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the market and other industry data contained in this presentation. Forward-looking information obtained from third-party sources is subject to the same qualifications and the additional uncertainties as the other forward-looking statements in this presentation.

Armored PSMA CAR γδ1 T Cell Program Allogeneic PSMA CAR γδ1 T cell therapy candidate for prostate cancer (PCa) Armoring demonstrated with TGFβ-DNR provides functional advantage for treating solid tumors Demonstrated penetration & killing in mCRPC primary tumor organoids Program: Historical challenge: Safety issues with PSMA-targeted immunotherapies Adicet approach: Radioligand therapies are the only approved PSMA-targeted agents and bind functional PSMA homodimer, associated with a favorable and differentiated off-tissue AE profile1 Adicet’s CAR is designed to have similar binding determinants as radioligand therapies, recognizing a conformational epitope present on the homodimer (↑ selectivity)1,2  Promising safety profile for γδ1 T cells observed in ADI-001 clinical trial Modest efficacy with PSMA-targeted immunotherapies Immunosuppressive TME & poor T cell infiltration in PCa Highly potent cell therapy compatible with armoring to address immunosuppressive solid tumor environment & heterogeneous PSMA expression Multiple modes of cell killing – CAR mediated, innate and adaptive immunity Natural tropism of γδ1 T cells to solid tissues  Infiltration of γδ1 T cells reported and demonstrated in prostate cancer Deshayes E et al.
