These statements, including statements related to the timing and expected results of our clinical trials, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "may," "might," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "aim," "seek," "anticipate," "could," "intend," "target," "project," "contemplate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "forecast," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: competition, our ability to secure new (and retain existing) grant funding, our ability to grow and manage growth, maintain relationships with suppliers and retain our management and key employees; our ability to successfully advance our current and future product candidates through development activities, preclinical studies and clinical trials and costs related thereto; uncertainties inherent in the results of preliminary data, preclinical studies and earlier-stage clinical trials being predictive of the results of early or later-stage clinical trials; the timing, scope and likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals, including regulatory approval of our product candidates; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that the we may be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive factors, including ongoing economic uncertainty; our estimates of expenses and profitability; the evolution of the markets in which we compete; our ability to implement our strategic initiatives and continue to innovate our existing products; our ability to defend our intellectual property; impacts of ongoing global and regional conflicts; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, supply chain and labor force; and the risks and uncertainties described more fully in the "Risk Factors" section of our annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission that are available on www.sec.gov. These risks are not exhaustive, and we face both known and unknown risks. You should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in a dynamic industry and economy. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties that we may face. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

Overview

THE CHALLENGE

Despite 35 years of research based on the Amyloid Cascade Hypothesis, there is only ONE approved therapy and major unmet needs persist for the rapidly growing population of people with Alzheimer's Disease

THE OPPORTUNITY

Strong scientific evidence supports the Amyloid Oligomer Hypothesis, ie, that oligomers-notplaques-are the MOST NEUROTOXIC form of amyloid beta that underlie cognitive decline

OUR SOLUTION

Lead asset is CT1812: An oral small molecule that potently antagonizes amyloid oligomers via a unique mechanism of action

  • Currently in two PHASE 2 AD trials: early-mild (currently enrolling) and mild-moderate (results expected mid-2024)
  • In clinical trials for two additional CNS/retina indications based on its MOA
  • Clinical studies, including completion of Phase 1, show promising EFFICACIOUS effects with good tolerability
  • Completely REVERSES cognitive dysfunction in preclinical models of AD

The Science of Oligomers

What are Amyloid Beta Oligomers?

Small, globular protein aggregates that form early in the process of amyloid growth and exhibits characteristics that are distinct from amyloid monomers, fibrils, and plaques

Genetic and Preclinical Evidence Supports this Consensus

Genetic evidence points to Aβ-mediatedneuro-toxicity as primary driver of Alzheimer's disease

  • Osaka mutation
    • High Aβ oligomer levels  much higher risk of AD4
    • Consistent with real-world evidence correlating high Aβ oligomer brain level with AD symptom severity5
  • APOE4/4 mutation
    • 3X higher Aβ oligomers in homozygotes  10-12Xhigher risk of aggressive AD6-8
  • Icelandic mutation
    • Low Aβ oligomer levels & low binding affinity  much lower risk of AD9
  • Arctic mutation
    • Reduced Aβ clearance and increased Aβ protofibril formation
      risk of early-onset aggressive AD10

Preclinical data supports role of Aβ-mediated neurotoxicity in cognitive deficit

  • Aβ oligomers  neuro- and synapto- toxicity11-15
  • Aβ oligomers injected into rodent hippocampus  memory loss16,17
  • Aβ oligomer accumulation in transgenic models  memory loss18,19
