**Acumen Pharmaceuticals Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results**

 **and Business Highlights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expect to report topline results for ALTITUDE-AD, a Phase 2 study to investigate sabirnetug (ACU193) for the treatment of early Alzheimer's disease, in late 2026

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Lead clinical candidate IND filing in Acumen's EBD<sup>TM</sup> (enhanced brain delivery) program targeted for mid-2027

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $128.4 million as of Mar. 31, 2026, expected to support current clinical and operational activities into early 2027

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Company to host conference call and webcast today at 8:00 a.m. ET

**NEWTON, Mass., May 12, 2026** – <u>Acumen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.</u> (NASDAQ: ABOS) ("Acumen" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics that target toxic soluble amyloid beta oligomers (AβOs) for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2026 and provided a business update.

"In the first quarter of 2026 Acumen remained steadfast in the execution of our ALTITUDE-AD Phase 2 study investigating the efficacy, safety and tolerability of sabirnetug for the treatment of early AD. Topline results are expected late this year and are anticipated to provide important evidence in support of the amyloid beta oligomer hypothesis within the broader field of anti-amyloid antibodies," said Daniel O'Connell, Chief Executive Officer of Acumen. "In the near term, we expect to execute our option to license as many as two candidates in our EBD program. We are excited about the optionality this innovative blood-brain barrier technology affords our pipeline and the potential it holds to deliver a next-generation treatment for Alzheimer's patients."

**Anticipated Milestones**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company currently expects to exercise its option to license two compounds developed as part of its collaboration with JCR Pharmaceuticals during the second quarter of 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company expects topline results from ALTITUDE-AD in late 2026. ALTITUDE-AD is a Phase 2 study to investigate sabirnetug for the treatment of early Alzheimer's disease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Topline results are expected to include the difference after 18 months as measured by iADRS (Integrated Alzheimer's Disease Rating Scale), our primary clinical efficacy endpoint, as well as key secondary endpoints, such as CDR-SB (Clinical Dementia Rating – Sum of the Boxes), certain safety measures such as adverse event rates, including ARIA rates, and key biomarkers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company is targeting the submission of an IND filing with respect to a lead clinical candidate in its EBD program in mid-2027.

**First Quarter 2026 Financial Results**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Cash Balance.** As of Mar. 31, 2026, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $128.4 million compared to cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $116.9 million as of Dec. 31, 2025. The increase in cash is related to the private placement announced in March 2026 that resulted in gross proceeds of $35.75 million. Cash is expected to support current clinical and operational activities into early 2027.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Research and Development (R&D) Expenses.** R&D expenses were $16.5 million for the quarter ended Mar. 31, 2026, compared to $25.3 million for the quarter ended Mar. 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in manufacturing and materials costs as well as a reduction in CRO costs associated with our ALTITUDE-AD clinical trial which completed enrollment in March 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses.** G&A expenses were $4.7 million for the quarter ended Mar. 31, 2026, compared to $5.1 million for the quarter ended Mar. 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to reductions in legal fees, as well as reductions in accounting, consulting and insurance expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Loss from Operations.** Loss from operations was $21.1 million for the quarter ended Mar. 31, 2026, compared to $30.4 million for the quarter ended Mar. 31, 2025. This decrease was due to the decreased R&D expenses over the prior year period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Net Loss.** Net loss was $20.7 million for the quarter ended Mar. 31, 2026, compared to $28.8 million for the quarter ended Mar. 31, 2025.

**About Sabirnetug (ACU193)**

Sabirnetug (ACU193) is a humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) discovered and developed based on its selectivity for soluble amyloid beta oligomers (AβOs), which are a highly toxic and pathogenic form of Aβ, relative to Aβ monomers and amyloid plaques. Soluble AβOs have been observed to be potent neurotoxins that bind to neurons, inhibit synaptic function and induce neurodegeneration. By selectively targeting toxic soluble AβOs, sabirnetug aims to address the hypothesis that soluble AβOs are an early and persistent underlying cause of the neurodegenerative process in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Sabirnetug has been granted Fast Track designation for the treatment of early AD by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2 study in patients with early AD.

**About ALTITUDE-AD (Phase 2)**

Initiated in 2024, ALTITUDE-AD is a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sabirnetug (ACU193) infusions administered once every four weeks in slowing cognitive and functional decline as compared to placebo in participants with early Alzheimer's disease. The study has enrolled 542 individuals with early Alzheimer's disease (mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to AD) at multiple investigative sites located in the United States, Canada, the European Union and the United Kingdom. Topline results are expected in late 2026. More information can be found on www.clinicaltrials.gov, NCT identifier NCT06335173.

**About Acumen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.**

Acumen Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics that target toxic soluble amyloid beta oligomers (AβOs) for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Acumen's scientific founders pioneered research on AβOs, which a growing body of evidence indicates are early and persistent triggers of Alzheimer's disease pathology. Acumen is currently focused on advancing its lead investigational product candidate, sabirnetug (ACU193), a humanized monoclonal antibody that selectively targets toxic soluble AβOs, in its ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial ALTITUDE-AD (NCT06335173) in early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease patients, following positive results in its Phase 1 trial INTERCEPT-AD. Acumen is also investigating a subcutaneous formulation of sabirnetug using Halozyme's proprietary ENHANZE® drug delivery technology. Acumen is also collaborating with JCR Pharmaceuticals to develop an EBD™ (enhanced brain delivery) therapy for Alzheimer's disease utilizing a transferrin-receptor-targeting blood-brain barrier-penetrating technology. The company is headquartered in Newton, Mass. For more information, visit <u>www.acumenpharm.com</u>.

Sabirnetug: Extensive Data Package Supporting Development Sabirnetug is a promising immunotherapy for early AD expected to provide meaningful cognitive and functional benefits, slow disease progression, and offer an attractive safety profile  Nanomolar affinity for AβOs, >500-fold greater selectivity for AβOs over Aβ monomer, with limited or no discernable binding to vascular amyloid or dense core amyloid plaques  Binds broad range of endogenous Aβ, from dimers to high molecular weight AβOs  Brain penetration and biodistribution demonstrated in multiple species  Performs like other peripherally administered CNS mAbs  Dose-dependent effects in multiple in vitro neuroprotection assays  Positive memory and behavioral effects in multiple in vivo transgenic mouse models for AD  IgG2 subclass lacks inflammatory effector function signaling (FcγR binding)  Non-clinical microhemorrhage studies show no increased risk of microhemorrhage  GLP studies demonstrated acceptable safety package supporting clinical dosing plans including Phase 2 SELECTIVITY PHARMACOLOGY PK/PD SAFETY 45
