**Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.** 

Aprea Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") is aware that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. ("FDIC") has taken control of Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") as of Friday, March 10, 2023. On Sunday, March 12, 2023, the U.S. Department of Treasury, Federal Reserve and FDIC jointly announced that the FDIC will fully protect all depositors at SVB. The Company currently maintains approximately $1.5 million in cash deposits at SVB and approximately $28.9 million in a money market mutual fund purchased through SVB but managed by a third-party asset manager. The Company believes that the funds held in the money market mutual fund belong to the Company and are not considered deposits. Therefore, the Company expects to have access to the full amount of the funds held in the money market mutual fund, but the timing and process for accessing such funds is not clear as of the time of filing this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information furnished under this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or subject to the liabilities of that section. The information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Company, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

We may, in some cases use terms such as "future," "predicts," "believes," "potential," "continue," "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "plans," "intends," "targeting," "confidence," "may," "could," "might," "likely," "will," "should" or other words that convey uncertainty of the future events or outcomes to identify these forward-looking statements. The Company's forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of the Company's management team that involve risks, potential changes in circumstances, assumptions, and uncertainties. Any or all of the forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong or be affected by inaccurate assumptions the Company might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties including the risks relating to the Company's ability and timing to access its funds held on deposit at SVB or through a money market mutual fund, risks related to the success and timing of the Company's clinical trials or other studies, the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by geopolitical and other economic, business and/or competitive factors, the Company's estimates of its financial performance, and the other risks set forth in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. For all these reasons, actual results and developments could be materially different from those expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are made only as of the date of this press release.
