Business Description

DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS Acumen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Acumen” or the “Company”) was incorporated in 1996 in the state of Delaware. Acumen is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a novel disease-modifying approach targeting what the Company believes to be a key underlying cause of Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”). Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease of the brain that leads to loss of memory and cognitive functions and ultimately results in death. The Company’s scientific founders pioneered research on soluble amyloid-beta oligomers (“AßOs”), which are globular assemblies of the amyloid-beta (“Aß”) peptide that are distinct from Aß monomers and amyloid plaques. Based on decades of research and supporting evidence, AßOs have gained increasing scientific acceptance as a primary toxin involved in the initiation and propagation of AD pathology. The Company is currently focused on advancing a targeted immunotherapy drug candidate, sabirnetug, in its Phase 2 ALTITUDE-AD clinical trial, and expects to announce top-line results in late 2026. ALTITUDE-AD is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-arm clinical trial designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of sabirnetug with up to 180 participants per arm for a total of 542 participants with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to AD. Sabirnetug is a recombinant humanized immunoglobulin gamma 2 monoclonal antibody that was designed to selectively target AßOs. In July 2023, the Company announced topline results from its Phase 1 INTERCEPT-AD clinical trial of sabirnetug, which demonstrated that sabirnetug met the primary and secondary objectives of this clinical trial in 62 participants with early AD . In addition, the Company is investigating a subcutaneous dosing option of sabirnetug, as well as a …
