Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that, to different degrees, are uncertain and involve risk. Uncertainties and risks may cause MRI Interventions’ actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by MRI Interventions’ forward-looking statements. Particular uncertainties and risks include, among others: demand and market acceptance of our products; our ability to successfully expand, and achieve full productivity from, our sales, clinical support and marketing capabilities; availability and adequacy of reimbursement from third party payors for procedures utilizing our products; the sufficiency of our cash resources to maintain planned commercialization efforts and research and development programs; future actions of the FDA or any other regulatory body that could impact product development, manufacturing or sale; our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights; our dependence on collaboration partners; the impact of competitive products and pricing; the impact of the commercial and credit environment on us and our customers and suppliers; and our ability to successfully complete the development of, and to obtain regulatory clearance or approval for, our ClearTrace system. More detailed information on these and additional factors that could affect MRI Interventions’ actual results and the timing of events are described in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made in this presentation to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements are based. © 2016 MRI INTERVENTIONS, INC. | 2

MRIC’s Unique Opportunity in Drug Delivery Major Challenges in Delivering Drugs to the Brain - Blood brain barrier blocks systemic delivery (pills, shots, IV) of almost all drugs 98% of small molecules - Direct injection without ClearPoint is blind, so target is frequently missed - Neopharm Trial-51% of 572 catheters failed to meet all positioning criteria Major Benefits of Drug Delivery with ClearPoint - Eliminates the blood brain barrier issue - Neurosurgeon sees that target is reached - Surgeon can watch drug infusion real time, is able to see appropriate coverage - Reduces/eliminates unwanted systemic side effects - Reduces dosage levels (as little as 1/300th of systemic volume) Business Model MRIC Partners with Drug Companies and Researchers - MRIC provides ClearPoint; Drug company provides drug candidate - Drug company/sponsor pays for trial - If drug is approved, MRIC gets device revs (~$7,000 -$14,000/case); Drug co gets drug revenues Provides MRIC with “biotech-like upside” without “all or nothing downside” © 2016 MRI INTERVENTIONS, INC. | 11

ClearPoint Drug Delivery w/ SmartFlow® Cannula SmartFrame targeting cannula, visible under MRI SmartFlow Cannula Inserted to target in the brain Drug infusion is visible under real-time MRI Highly precise delivery is evident in the putamen Example of MR-guided infusion of AAV2-AADC in a patient from dose Cohort2. In this patient 3 sites in the putamen were targeted...* Conclusion: Administration of gene delivery under MR-guidance and MR-monitoring is important to assure proper targeting and vector distribution in the PD putamen. *Poster presented by Bankiewicz, K. et. al; Movement Disorder Society, June 2016, * CAUTION: SmartFlow® Cannula is approved for injection of Cytarabine or removal of CSF from the ventricles during intracranial procedures.

 ClearPoint’s Use in Drug Delivery Seven Programs Underway Now... Current Drug Delivery Trials Utilizing the ClearPoint System: AAV2-hAADC for Parkinson’s disease Phase 1 Study at UCSF Initial sponsorship by Michael J. Fox Foundation AAV2-GDNF for Parkinson’s disease Phase 1 Study at the NIH MDNA55for Recurrence or Progression of Glioblastoma Preparing Phase 2 Human Parthenogenetic Stem Cell-Derived Neural Stem Cells for Parkinson’s disease Pre-clinical leading to Ph. 1 IL13 for Brain Tumor Phase 1 study at the NIH Radio Immunotherapy for Brain Tumor Phase 1 Study at MSK Nanoliposomal Irinotecan for Brain Tumor Phase 1 Study at UCSF The ClearPoint System is being used in the ongoing Phase 1b clinical trial of VY-AADC01 as a treatment for advanced Parkinson’s disease, and we expect to continue to use the ClearPoint System in future clinical trials of VY-AADC01 and any other of our product candidates that are injected directly into the brain.
