Business Overview We are a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing treatments for patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”), for which there are limited or no treatment options. We focus on the development of commercial manufacturing and commercial sales of ZUNVEYL oral tablet formulation. Our commercial development program for ZUNVEYL is primarily focused on building a long-term care (“LTC”) commercial team that can focus on providing key points of differentiation, exploiting key issues with existing Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (“AChEI”) treatments, and franchising potential additional indications and new products. We launched ZUNVEYL on March 19, 2025 and will target the largest volume nursing homes specializing in Alzheimer’s Disease, leveraging an account-based sales team with demonstrated success in LTC, positioning ZUNVEYL with Medicare payors, and developing strategic and clinical partnerships with consultant pharmacists and long-term care pharmacies. We have three additional pre-clinical development programs: ZUNVEYL in combination with memantine for the treatment of moderate-to-severe Alzheimer’s disease, ALPHA-1062 sublingual formulation, ALPHA-1062 sublingual formulation for the treatment of cognitive impairment with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI; otherwise known as concussion), and ALPHA-0602, ALPHA-0702 & ALPHA-0802, the latter two programs also referred to as ‘Progranulin’ and ‘Progranulin GEM’s’, for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, otherwise known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). ZUNVEYL, is a patented new innovative product being developed as a next generation acetylcholinesterase inhibitor for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, with expected minimal gastrointestinal side effects. ZUNVEYL’s active metabolite is differentiated from donepezil and rivastigmine in that it binds neuronal nicotinic receptors, most notably the alpha-7 subtype, which is known to have a positive effect on cognition. ZUNVEYL is in pre-clinical development in combination with memantine to treat moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease, in pre-clinical development with sublingual formulation for patients suffering from dysphagia, and to study a sublingual formulation for cognitive impairment with mTBI. Our other pre-clinical assets previously included ALPHA-0602 and ALPHA-0702 & ALPHA-0802 (Progranulin and Progranulin GEM’s), which are expressed in several cell types in the central nervous system and in peripheral tissues, promotes cell survival, regulates certain inflammatory processes, and play a significant role in regulating lysosomal function and microglial responses to disease. As the assets were pre-clinical and did not add material value to the Company, the Company did not develop these assets further and instead terminated its licensing agreement related to the assets but retained certain royalties and payments from the licensor in relation to any future developments of the assets. The Company exercised a reversion of rights for ALPHA-1062 for TBI, pancreatitis, and related conditions in January 2025 and has brought ALPHA-1062 for mTBI and related conditions, ALPHA-1062 for Acute pancreatitis back to the Company to develop both compounds for said conditions. 1 Our Strategy The Company’s principal business objectives are to: 1) Obtain commercial success with the newly FDA-approved ZUNVEYL delayed release oral tablet formulation indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer’s type in adults (Alzheimer’s disease). On July 26, 2024, the Company received this FDA approval. The Company will now focus on the development of commercial manufacturing and commercial sales of ZUNVEYL oral tablet formulation. Even though ZUNVEYL was approved, it may not achieve commercial success. The Company hired its commercial team, and salesforce in the first quarter 2025. The official commercial launch was announced on March 19, 2025 and ZUNVEYL is now available by prescription in pharmacies nationwide. The Company believes that it has sufficient capital to achieve operating profitability by 2027, provided the Company executes its commercial plan in LTC market and does not advance compounds in the pipeline. 2) Pursue its pre-clinical assets when the timing and costs to the Company permit.…
