mutCALR-specific mAb, INCA'989, demonstrated clinical POC in mutCALR ET with disease-modifying potential Dose-dependent activity demonstrated via platelet normalization, with 71% of patients on concomitant cytoreductive therapy at time of enrollment able to discontinue. 83.3% of patients achieved complete hematological response at doses ≥ 400mg, with 46.6% being durable ≥12 weeks; suboptimal activity observed < 400mg. INCA'989 found to be well-tolerated and safe; no DLTs were observed. 93% of patients are still receiving treatment. MutCALR-specific depletion largely spares wild-type hematopoiesis, as observed by absence of ≥Gr3 thrombocytopenia. 52% and 31% of patients achieved >25% and >50% best mutCALR VAF reduction, respectively.

mutCALR-specific mAb, INCA'989, demonstrated clinical POC in mutCALR MF with room for efficacy improvement Sources: Mascarenhas 2025 ASH. INCA'989 leaves room for efficacy, particularly in patients with Type 2 mutations. Anemia response occurred in 56% of evaluable anemic patients, with most (40%) achieving a major response. INCA'989 found to be well-tolerated and safe; no DLTs were observed. 86.5% patients were still receiving treatment. A reduction in mutCALR VAF from baseline occurred in 89.4% (42/47) of patients with ≥1 postbaseline VAF measurement; 5/47 (10.6%) achieved ≥25% best reduction in VAF At week 24, 42% of patients achieved SVR25 and 33% achieved SVR35 At week 24, 39% of patients achieved TSS50 Best change in MPN-SAF TSS from baseline(%) Best change in spleen volume from baseline(%) -25% -35% -50% Non-Type 1 patients underperform as seen by fewer patients hitting SVR25 and SVR35 Non-Type 1 patients underperform as seen by fewer patients hitting TSS50 INCA033989 dose (mg) 24-250 400-2500 \*CALR non-Type 1 mutation INCA033989 dose (mg) 24-250 400-2500 \*CALR non-Type 1 mutation Company Logo Bar Graphs 15

Structure: The acquisition of Damora was structured as a stock-for-stock transaction whereby all of Damora's outstanding equity interests were exchanged for a combination of shares of Galecto common stock and a newly created non-voting Series C convertible preferred stock. Financing: Concurrent with the acquisition of Damora, Galecto closed a $285 million private placement with a group of institutional accredited investors led by Fairmount and joined by a robust syndicate of dedicated biotechnology investors as well as additional undisclosed institutional investors. Management and BOD: Continuing leadership includes Hans Schambye, Matthew Kronmiller, Lori Firmani, and Garrett Winslow. Peter Harwin, Managing Member, Fairmount, Julie Bruno, Growth Partner, Fairmount, and Chris Cain, Director of Research, Fairmount, join Hans Schambye, Carl Goldfischer, Amit Munshi, and Jayson Dallas as directors. Primary use of proceeds: The proceeds from the private placement are expected to be primarily used to advance the Damora pipeline and deliver the following anticipated milestones: POC data for DMR-001 and DMR-002 and IND for DMR-003, and to fund business operations. Proceeds are expected to provide cash runway into 2029. Transaction Details 1 2 3 4 Company Logo 26
