<br> • Phase 3 pivotal program initiation for BPL-003 in treatment-resistant depression on track for Q2 2026

<br> • VLS-01 Phase 2 Elumina topline results anticipated in Q4 2026

<br> • Consistent, convergent improvements demonstrated in EMP-01 Phase 2a trial across independent clinician-rated and patient-reported outcomes in Social Anxiety Disorder

<br> • Cash and cash equivalents expected to fund operations through anticipated BPL-003 Phase 3 topline readouts, with runway into 2029

**NEW YORK, UNITED STATES – May 12, 2026** – AtaiBeckley Inc. (NASDAQ: ATAI) ("AtaiBeckley" or "Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company on a mission to transform patient outcomes by developing rapid-acting, durable and convenient mental health treatments, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided a business update across its clinical pipeline.

#### First Quarter 2026 Highlights
<br> • BPL-003 (TRD): Phase 3 pivotal *ReConnection* program on track to initiate in Q2 2026.

<br> • VLS-01 (TRD): Elumina Phase 2 topline results anticipated in Q4 2026.

<br> • EMP-01 (SAD): <u>Phase 2a</u> data provided validation of EMP-01's potential in Social Anxiety Disorder.

<br> • Corporate: Inclusion during Q1 2026 in the <u>S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index and CRSP U.S. indices</u>, which are tracked by a broad range of institutional and passive investor exposure.

<br> • Cash position: Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026 expected to fund operations through anticipated BPL-003 Phase 3 topline readouts, with runway into 2029.

**Srinivas Rao, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of AtaiBeckley, said***: "Our $209.9 million in cash is expected to provide a runway through our anticipated Phase 3 topline readouts for BPL-003, as we advance toward the late-stage execution phase. Our near-term priority is initiating the Phase 3 ReConnection program for BPL-003 this quarter, while VLS-01 continues to progress toward anticipated Phase 2 topline results later this year. The positive Phase 2a data for EMP-01 further demonstrated its potential in Social Anxiety Disorder. Collectively, our capital position, pipeline breadth, and multiple near- and mid-term clinical catalysts position us well as we seek to build sustained clinical and shareholder value."* <br>

------

**Program Updates**

*BPL-003: mebufotenin benzoate nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression (TRD)*

<br> • On track to initiate Phase 3 program in Q2 2026, following a successful End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA and incorporating regulatory feedback into a registrational Phase 3 design.

<br> • Phase 3 program consists of two pivotal studies:

<br> o ReConnection-1 (~350 patients)

<br> o ReConnection-2 (~230 patients)

• Primary endpoint: change from baseline in MADRS total score at Week 4.

<br> • Both studies include a 52-week open-label extension (OLE), allowing individualized 8mg BPL-003 retreatment at 8-week or 12-week intervals with the aim of maintaining remission and evaluating durability and longer-term safety.

<br> • Phase 2a Part 4 (two-dose induction + SSRIs) cohort initial data on track for Q4 2026.

*VLS-01: dimethyltryptamine (DMT) buccal film for TRD*

<br> • Elumina Phase 2 study progressing as planned, with topline results anticipated in Q4 2026

*EMP-01: Oral R-enantiomer of 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (R-MDMA) for social anxiety disorder (SAD)*

<br> • Phase 2a results demonstrated clinically meaningful and consistent improvements across clinician-rated symptoms, patient-reported experience, and real-world behavioral outcomes, providing further evidence of EMP-01's therapeutic potential in SAD.

#### Business Updates
<br> • Index inclusions: During the first quarter of 2026, AtaiBeckley was added to the <u>S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index and multiple CRSP U.S. equity indices</u>, expanding eligibility for index-tracking and passive investment vehicles.

• In February 2026, AtaiBeckley <u>appointed</u> Michael Faerm as Chief Financial Officer, effective March 9, 2026, bringing more than 25 years of life sciences and capital markets experience, to lead the Company's financial strategy as BPL-003 advances toward Phase 3.

#### Anticipated Upcoming Milestones
<br> • Q2 2026: Initiation of BPL-003 Phase 3 ReConnection program

<br> • Q4 2026: VLS-01 Elumina Phase 2 topline results

<br> • Q4 2026: BPL-003 Phase 2a Part 4 initial data

<br> • Early 2029: BPL-003 Phase 3 topline readouts

#### Consolidated Financial Results
*Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term securities (primarily US treasuries):* As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term securities of $209.9 million compared to $220.7 million as of December 31, 2025. The $10.8 million decrease is primarily attributable to $21.1 million used in operations, partially offset by $9.5 million in proceeds from sale of equity holdings. The Company expects its cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and other liquid assets to fund operations into 2029.

------

*Research and development (R&D) expenses:* R&D expenses were $17.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to $11.3 million for the same prior year period. The year-over-year increase of $6.1 million was primarily attributable to higher clinical development and related costs in support of BPL-003, VLS-01 and EMP-01, as well as increased personnel-related expenses as a result of our strategic combination with Beckley Psytech in November 2025.

*General and administrative (G&A) expenses:* G&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $14.4 million as compared to $10.6 million for the same prior year period. The year-over-year increase of $3.8 million was primarily attributable to increased legal, intellectual property, and professional service expenses and increased personnel-related expenses.

*Net loss:* Net loss attributable to stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $29.8 million as compared to $26.4 million for the comparable prior year period.
