**Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.**

On June 27, 2025, Uneek Mehra informed 4D Molecular Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") of his intent to resign as Chief Financial and Business Officer of the Company effective as of July 15, 2025 in order to pursue other opportunities.

To facilitate the transition of his responsibilities, Mr. Mehra has agreed to provide advisory services and remain as the Company's principal financial officer and principal accounting officer through September 2025 and at least through the date of the filing of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for quarter ended June 30, 2025. Mr. Mehra's departure is not the result of any disagreement regarding the Company's operations, financial statements, guidance, corporate outlook, internal controls, auditors, policies or practices. The Company has initiated a search to identify a successor.

**Item 8.01 Other Events.**

*4FRONT Updates*

On July 2, 2025, the Company announced an update on timing regarding the Company's Phase 3 program in wet age-related macular degeneration ("wet AMD").

The Company reported that initial enrollment and site activation for 4FRONT-1, the North American Phase 3 clinical trial of 4D-150 in wet AMD, have exceeded initial projections, reflecting continued strong engagement and enthusiasm from investigators and patients. The Company now expects 52-week topline data in the first half of 2027, an acceleration of the timeline from the previous guidance to the second half of 2027, providing more than six months of expected cash runway beyond the expected data readout.

Additionally, the Company reported that the second Phase 3 trial of 4D-150 in wet AMD, 4FRONT-2, was initiated in June 2025, ahead of schedule. 4FRONT-2 is a global Phase 3 clinical trial of 4D-150 in wet AMD and has an identical design to 4FRONT-1, except for enrolling both treatment naïve and recently diagnosed, treatment-experienced patients. The Company expects 52-week topline data for 4FRONT-2 in the second half of 2027, consistent with previous guidance.

*Company Streamlining Plan*

On July 2, 2025, the Company announced a workforce reduction of approximately 25% of current and planned roles in July 2025, primarily in the areas supporting early-stage research and development and support functions. In connection with the workforce reduction, the Company estimates that it will pay cash expenses of approximately $3 million, including severance, benefits, and related termination costs, which will be paid primarily in the third quarter of 2025. The workforce reduction is expected to provide annual cash compensation cost savings of approximately $15 million and offsets additional expenses expected based on the accelerated timelines for the 4FRONT clinical trials and BLA preparation, which supports the Company's cash runway into 2028, as previously guided. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $458 million, which the Company believes is sufficient to support planned expenses to deliver 52-week topline data from 4FRONT-1 and 4FRONT-2 Phase 3 clinical trials and Biologics License Application ("BLA") preparation for 4D-150 in wet AMD, continue Phase 1/2 and pre-Phase 3 planning activities for 4D-150 in diabetic macular edema and continue ongoing Phase 1/2 development of 4D-710 in cystic fibrosis.
