Therapeutic, Inc. (formerly AVROBIO, Inc.) (the &#147;Company&#148; or &#147;Tectonic&#148;) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of therapeutic proteins and antibodies that modulate the activity of <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">G-protein</FONT> coupled receptors (&#147;GPCRs&#148;). The Company focuses on areas of significant unmet medical need, often where therapeutic options are poor or nonexistent, as these are areas where new medicines have
the potential to improve patient quality of life. The Company&#146;s corporate headquarters are in Watertown, Massachusetts. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On June&nbsp;20, 2024, the Company completed its previously announced merger transaction in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan
of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of January&nbsp;30, 2024 (the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;) with AVROBIO, Inc. (&#147;AVROBIO&#148;), pursuant to which Alpine Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of AVROBIO, merged with and into
the entity formerly known as Tectonic Therapeutic, Inc., now known as Tectonic Operating Company, Inc. (&#147;Legacy Tectonic&#148;), with Legacy Tectonic continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of the surviving corporation of AVROBIO (the
&#147;Merger&#148;). The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (&#147;GAAP&#148;), with AVROBIO treated as the acquired company for
financial reporting purposes, and Legacy Tectonic treated as the accounting acquirer. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon the closing of the Merger, each outstanding
share of Legacy Tectonic&#146;s common stock, including outstanding and unvested restricted stock, was converted into the right to receive a number of shares of AVROBIO&#146;s common stock based on an exchange ratio of 0.53 (the &#147;Exchange
Ratio&#148;), as defined in the Merger Agreement, after giving effect to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">1-for-12</FONT></FONT> reverse stock split of AVROBIO common stock that was effected on June&nbsp;20,
2024. The exchange ratio was retroactively applied to all outstanding common shares, convertible preferred shares, stock options and restricted stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase shares of Legacy Tectonic&#146;s common stock immediately prior to closing was assumed by
AVROBIO and was converted into an option to purchase shares of AVROBIO common stock, with necessary adjustments to the number of shares and exercise price to reflect the Exchange Ratio. All of Legacy Tectonic&#146;s restricted common stock
outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the closing that was assumed by AVROBIO in the Merger remains unvested to the same extent and is subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable
restricted stock purchase agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Legacy Tectonic stockholders received 10,956,614 shares of AVROBIO common stock in connection with
the Merger, including 11,447 shares of AVROBIO restricted common stock subject to vesting terms, of which 4,588 have since vested subsequent to the closing of the Merger, based on the number of shares of Legacy Tectonic common stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Merger, including restricted stock, the number of shares of common stock issued to investors participating in the Subscription Agreements (as defined below) and SAFEs, and Legacy Tectonic convertible preferred stock
outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, which was converted into shares of Legacy Tectonic common stock on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-for-one</FONT></FONT> basis immediately prior to the closing of
the Merger. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the Merger, the Company and its designated rights agent entered into a contingent value rights agreement
(the &#147;CVR Agreement&#148;). Pursuant to the CVR Agreement, each holder of AVROBIO common stock immediately prior to the closing received a contractual contingent value right (&#147;CVR&#148;) subject to and in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the CVR Agreement, representing the contractual right to receive a pro rata portion of any net proceeds, if any, as a resulting from a disposition of certain AVROBIO intellectual property (including a license of AVROBIO&#146;s <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-closing</FONT> assets as defined in the CVR Agreement) after the closing and prior to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">18-month</FONT> anniversary of the closing, received within a
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-year</FONT> period following the closing; provided that no contingent payment will be payable to any holder of the CVRs until such time as the then-outstanding and undistributed proceeds exceeds $0.4&nbsp;million
in the aggregate. As of September&nbsp;30, 2024, no proceeds have been received under the CVR Agreement. As of September&nbsp;30, 2024 there is no liability recorded in connection with the CVR Agreement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Concurrently with the closing of the Merger, certain investors of Legacy Tectonic completed the purchase of 7,790,889 shares of Legacy
Tectonic common stock pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement dated January&nbsp;30, 2024 (the &#147;Subscription Agreement&#148;) at a purchase price of $12.40 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $96.6&nbsp;million. Shares of
Legacy Tectonic common stock issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements were converted into 4,163,606 shares of AVROBIO common stock at the closing of the Merger based on the Exchange Ratio, pursuant to the Merger Agreement. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, new technological innovations,
protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, compliance with government regulations and the need to obtain additional financing. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and
development efforts, including extensive <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-clinical</FONT> and clinical testing and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate
personnel infrastructure, and extensive compliance reporting capabilities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s proprietary GEODe<SUP

intellectual property will be obtained, that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval or that any approved products will be commercially viable. Even if product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain
when, if ever, the Company will generate significant revenue from product sales. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial competition from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Liquidity and Going Concern </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of September&nbsp;30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $136.2&nbsp;million and has incurred losses and negative cash flows
from operations since inception, including a net loss of $17.7&nbsp;million and $45.6&nbsp;million for the three and nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2024, respectively. To date, the Company has financed its operations primarily through the
issuance of common stock, convertible preferred stock, convertible promissory notes and Simple Agreements for Future Equity (&#147;SAFEs&#148;). The Company has devoted substantially all of its financial resources and efforts to business planning,
conducting research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, and raising capital. Management expects that the Company&#146;s operating losses and negative cash flows will continue for the foreseeable future as it continues to
develop its product candidates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As the Company continues to develop its proprietary platform and potential product candidates, it will
require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. It may never achieve profitability, and unless and until it does, it will
continue to need to raise additional capital to fund its operations. Management believes that its current cash on hand, which includes the proceeds related to the Merger and Subscription Agreements, is sufficient to fund the Company&#146;s planned
operations for at least one year from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As described in Note 1 &#147;Description of Business,&#148; the Company completed its previously announced Merger with AVROBIO on June&nbsp;20,
2024. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP with Legacy Tectonic as the accounting acquirer of AVROBIO. At the effective time of the Merger, substantially all the assets of AVROBIO consisted of cash and
cash equivalents, as well as other nominal <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-operating</FONT> assets. Under such reverse recapitalization accounting, the assets and liabilities of AVROBIO were recorded at their fair value in AVROBIO&#146;s
financial statements at the effective time of the Merger, which approximated book value due to their short-term nature. No goodwill or intangible assets were recognized. Consequently, the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company
reflect the historical operations of Legacy Tectonic for accounting purposes together with the issuance of shares to the former shareholders of AVROBIO, the legal acquirer, and a recapitalization of the equity of Legacy Tectonic, the accounting
acquirer. The exchange ratio was retroactively applied to all outstanding common shares, convertible preferred shares, stock options and restricted stock of Legacy Tectonic. </P>

$34.1&nbsp;million. Prior to redemption, the SAFE liabilities were valued using a probability weighted scenario analysis and discount rates derived by application of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">build-up</FONT> method to reflect the cost of
equity. The valuation model required a variety of inputs, including the probability of occurrence of events that would trigger conversion or redemption of the SAFEs, the expected timing of such events, and a discount rate. All investors were
considered related parties of the Company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon the closing of the Merger, the principal balance of the SAFEs was automatically redeemed

was $12.40. At closing, shares of Legacy Tectonic common stock issued pursuant to the redemption of Legacy Tectonic SAFEs were converted into 1,470,839 shares of AVROBIO common stock based on the Exchange Ratio, pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In July 2020, Legacy Tectonic entered into an agreement with the President and Fellows of Harvard College (&#147;Harvard&#148;), for an option
fee in the low five digits, whereby Harvard granted Legacy Tectonic an exclusive option to negotiate a worldwide, exclusive, royalty-bearing license under Harvard&#146;s interest in the patent rights covering certain technology that was developed by
Harvard. In October 2021, Legacy Tectonic exercised the option and on February&nbsp;10, 2022, entered into a license agreement (&#147;License Agreement&#148;) with Harvard to conduct research and development activities using certain materials,
technology and patent rights owned by Harvard, with the intent to develop, obtain regulatory approval for, and commercialize products. The License Agreement will remain in effect until the expiration of the last valid claim within the patent rights
covering a product developed under the License Agreement or the termination of the License Agreement. Management concluded that the acquisition of patents and materials received under the License Agreement represents an asset acquisition of an <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-progress</FONT> research and development asset without future alternative use; therefore, any consideration paid was expensed. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As consideration for the License Agreement, Legacy Tectonic agreed to pay Harvard a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-refundable</FONT>
license fee, consisting of a cash payment due in three equal annual installments, in total amounting to $170,000. The first two installments were paid in July 2022 and 2023 and the third installment was made in July 2024. As partial consideration
for the Harvard License Agreement, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Harvard in July 2022, pursuant to which Harvard was granted 227,486 shares of common stock with a fair market value in the mid six digits. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company also will be responsible for payment of (1)&nbsp;annual maintenance fees ranging from the low five digits to the low six digits
during the term of the License Agreement (through the first commercial sale of a royalty-bearing product); (2) royalty payments as a percentage in the low single digits of the annual net sales that the Company generates from products that utilize
the license technology (&#147;Licensed Products&#148;) and royalty payments as a percentage in the low single digits of the annual net sales that the Company generates from <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">know-how</FONT> enabled product licenses <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(&#147;Know-How</FONT> Enabled Products&#148;) and (3)&nbsp;a percentage between <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-20%</FONT> of all <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-royalty</FONT> income received by the Company
under sublicenses, strategic partnerships and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">know-how</FONT> enabled product licenses that utilize the license technology. Subsequent to the first commercial sale of a royalty-bearing product, annual maintenance
fees will increase to a low six digits for the remainder of the term of the License Agreement. The royalty term from sales of Licensed Products will terminate on a
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">country-by-country</FONT></FONT> and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">product-by-product</FONT></FONT> basis on the earlier of (i)&nbsp;the expiration
of the patent rights covering the product, expected to be no earlier than May 2041, and (ii)&nbsp;the termination of the License Agreement. The Company is also required to pay a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-time</FONT> milestone payment of
$100,000 for each discovered product granted FDA marketing authorization as well as for the first licensed product or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">know-how</FONT> enabled product to reach certain clinical developmental milestones, up to
$8.5&nbsp;million and for the first licensed product or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">know-how</FONT> enabled product to reach certain commercial milestones, up to $2.0&nbsp;million. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The royalty term from sales of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Know-How</FONT> Enabled Products will terminate on the earlier of (i)&nbsp;ten
years after the first commercial sale of the first <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Know-How</FONT> Enabled Product and (ii)&nbsp;twelve years after the first commercial sale of the first Licensed Product. There was $0.1&nbsp;million due to Harvard
as of September&nbsp;30, 2024. During the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid $0.1&nbsp;million and less than $0.1&nbsp;million, respectively, and during each of the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2024 and
2023, the Company paid $0.2&nbsp;million to Harvard. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Harvard License Agreement meets the criteria to be considered a related party
transaction due to the Company&#146;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">co-founders&#146;</FONT> employment as professors in the Harvard Department of Molecular Pharmacology. Additionally, both <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">co-founders</FONT>
served on the board for a portion of the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2024, with one stepping down in June. One <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">co-founder</FONT> is a shareholder in the Company. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On November&nbsp;29, 2021, Legacy Tectonic executed a license agreement with Alloy Therapeutics, LLC (&#147;ATX&#148;), whereby the Company
will use ATX technology for the purpose of preclinical development, clinical development and commercialization of potential product candidates, for an initial period of three years, with an option to extend the term for an additional two years. The
Company will pay ATX a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-refundable</FONT> and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-creditable</FONT> annual fee of $0.1&nbsp;million on each anniversary of the agreement. On November&nbsp;7, 2022, Legacy Tectonic
and ATX amended the agreement and extended the period of payment for the first fee due, which was paid in May 2023. Additionally, the Company will be responsible for annual partnering fees if the Company decides to pursue clinical development of a
product candidate using the ATX technology. The partnering fees may be creditable against future milestone development fees paid by the Company. The Company will also be responsible to pay ATX development milestone payments for the movement of
certain product candidates through clinical trials, which range from the low six digits to the low seven digits upon completion of each milestone and amount to $4.8&nbsp;million in total milestone payments under the license agreement. Provided the
Company is able to commercialize a product using ATX technology, the Company will be responsible to pay ATX commercial payments in the low seven digits per year during the first six years of commercial sales, amounting to an amount in the high eight
digits in total commercial payments under the license agreement. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company enters into certain types of contracts that contingently requires it to indemnify various parties against claims from third

the Company, (ii)&nbsp;contracts under which it must indemnify directors and certain officers and consultants for liabilities arising out of their relationship, and (iii)&nbsp;procurement, service or license agreements under which the Company may be
required to indemnify vendors, service providers or licensees for certain claims, including claims that may be brought against them arising from the Company&#146;s acts or omissions with respect to the its products, technology, intellectual property

the event that one or more of these matters were to result in a claim against the Company, an adverse outcome, including a judgment or settlement, may cause a material adverse effect on future business, operating results or financial condition. It
is not possible to estimate the maximum amount potentially payable under these contracts since there is no history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular claim will be determinative. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of therapeutic proteins and antibodies that modulate the
activity of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">G-protein</FONT> coupled receptors (&#147;GPCRs&#148;). The discovery of biologics that can modulate GPCRs has historically been quite challenging. We have developed a proprietary technology platform
called GEODe<SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">&#153;</SUP>, with the aim of addressing these challenges to enable the discovery and development of GPCR-targeted biologic medicines that can modify the course of disease. We focus on areas
of significant unmet medical need, often where therapeutic options are poor or nonexistent, as these are areas where new medicines have the potential to improve patient quality or extend duration of life. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our lead asset, TX45, is an Fc-relaxin fusion molecule that activates the RXFP1 receptor, the GPCR target of the hormone, relaxin. In
September 2024, we announced favorable results from a Phase 1a trial evaluating safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic (&#147;PK&#148;) and pharmacodynamic (&#147;PD&#148;) properties for TX45. In the Phase 1a trial, TX45 was well-tolerated with
no drug-related severe adverse events, no observed immunogenicity and demonstrated a favorable PK/PD relationship. Renal plasma flow was measured in each patient at several time points as a pharmacodynamic marker. This data was used to develop an
exposure-response model which enabled the selection of doses for the APEX Phase 2 trial. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are currently evaluating TX45 in a Phase 1b
hemodynamic clinical trial and in a Phase 2 clinical trial. The TX45 Phase 1b hemodynamic clinical trial is a single dose IV, open-label clinical trial evaluating the safety, tolerability and acute hemodynamic effects of TX45 in patients with Group
2 Pulmonary Hypertension in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (&#147;PH-HFpEF&#148;). The Phase 1b trial is enrolling ahead of plan, and we expect topline results from the Phase 1b trial in late first quarter of 2025 or early second
quarter of 2025. We dosed our first subject in the APEX Phase 2 clinical trial in October 2024. The APEX Phase 2 clinical trial is a global, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">24-week,</FONT> placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the safety
and efficacy TX45 administered subcutaneously (&#147;SC&#148;) in subjects with PH-HFpEF. Subjects will be randomized to 300 mg SC (2ml injection) once monthly of TX45, 300 mg SC once every other week of TX45, or placebo. We expect topline trial
results from the APEX trial in 2026. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have also identified TX002100 (&#147;TX2100&#148;) as a development candidate for the treatment
of Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (&#147;HHT&#148;), the second most common genetic bleeding disorder with no approved therapy. TX2100 is a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">VHH-Fc</FONT> fusion antagonist antibody that binds to an undisclosed
GPCR target (&#147;GPCR3&#148;) which plays a key role in pathogenic angiogenesis. A rodent surrogate of TX2100 demonstrated reduced arteriovenous malformation development and bleeding in an animal model of HHT. A
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">4-week</FONT> <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-human</FONT> primate dose-range study with a functionally equivalent precursor to TX2100 showed no treatment-related toxicity observed at doses up to 100 mg/kg. We
expect to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial for TX2100 in the fourth quarter of 2025 or the first quarter of 2026, subject to the results of IND enabling studies. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Since our inception in 2019, our operations have focused on organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital,
establishing our intellectual property portfolio and conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials. We do not have any product candidates approved for sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales. We have funded our operations
with an aggregate of $288.6&nbsp;million in proceeds from the sale of convertible preferred stock, the issuance of convertible promissory notes, the Merger (as defined below), and sale of common stock. As of September&nbsp;30, 2024, we had
$159.1&nbsp;million in cash and cash equivalents. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents should be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months following the issuance of

Middle East and the responses thereto. While we are closely monitoring the impact of the current macroeconomic conditions on all aspects of our business, including the impacts on our participants in our clinical trials, employees, suppliers, vendors
and collaboration partners, the ultimate extent of the impact on our business remains highly uncertain and will depend on future developments and factors that continue to evolve. Most of these developments and factors are outside our control and
could exist for an extended period of time. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the potential impacts to our business, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. </P>

proceeds of $94.6&nbsp;million from the sale of shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, $85.2&nbsp;million in gross proceeds from the Merger and $0.7&nbsp;million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by cash paid

incur significant commercialization expenses related to program sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution to the extent that such sales, marketing and distribution are not the responsibility of potential collaborators. Furthermore, we expect
to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive
terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or future commercialization efforts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We

process that takes many years to complete, and we may never generate the necessary data or results required to obtain marketing approval and achieve product sales. In addition, our product candidates, if approved, may not achieve commercial success.
Our commercial revenues, if any, will be derived from sales of product candidates that we do not expect to be commercially available for many years, if at all. Accordingly, we will need to continue to rely on additional financing to achieve our
business objectives. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of
equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as
incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we raise funds through additional collaborations,

market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect to incur additional costs associated

requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported
amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities recorded expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

our service providers invoice us in arrears for services performed, on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-determined</FONT> schedule or when contractual milestones are met; however, some require advance payments. We make estimates of our prepaid
and accrued research and development expenses as of each balance sheet date in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on facts and circumstances known to us at that time, which includes corroboration of these estimates with
the service providers. Estimated research and development expenses include those related to fees paid to vendors in connection with clinical, discovery and preclinical development activities and any research organizations in connection with clinical
and preclinical studies and testing. Although we do not expect our estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, our understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of
services performed may vary and may result in changes in estimates reported in the current period. To date, there have not been any material adjustments to our prior estimates of prepaid and accrued research and development expenses. </P>

of the grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton (&#147;BSM&#148;) option pricing model. Compensation expense for those awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award for employees.
Compensation expense for awards to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-employee</FONT> with service-based vesting conditions is recognized in the same manner as if we had paid cash in exchange for the goods or services, which is generally the over
the vesting period of the award. We use the straight-line method to recognize the expense of awards with service-based vesting conditions. We account for forfeitures of stock options as they occur. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BSM requires the use of assumptions to determine the fair value of the stock options. The determination of fair value of our common stock

company information, the prices at which we sold convertible preferred stock to third parties in arms&#146; length transactions, the rights and preferences of securities senior to our common stock at the time and the likelihood of achieving a
liquidity event such as an initial public offering or sale. Significant changes to the assumptions used in the valuations could result in different fair values at each valuation date. </P>

STYLE="white-space:nowrap">24-cv-1493</FONT></FONT> (filed February&nbsp;27, 2024). Two actions have been filed in the Supreme Court of New York, captioned <I>Price v. Avrobio, Inc., et al.</I>, No.&nbsp;652555/2024 (filed May&nbsp;17, 2024) and
<I>Keller v. Avrobio, Inc., et al.</I>, No.&nbsp;652597/2024 (filed May&nbsp;21, 2024). The foregoing actions are referred to as the &#147;Merger Actions.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Merger Actions generally allege that the registration statement filed by AVROBIO on February&nbsp;14, 2024, as amended on March&nbsp;26,
2024, April&nbsp;15, 2024, and April&nbsp;29, 2024 (the &#147;Registration Statement&#148;) misrepresents and/or omits certain purportedly material information in connection with the Merger, potential conflicts of interest of AVROBIO&#146;s officers
and directors, and the events that led to the signing of the definitive merger agreement. The <I>Price</I> and <I>Keller</I> actions assert claims for breach of fiduciary duty against all defendants. The Merger Actions seek, among other things, an

However, in order to moot the claims in the Merger Actions and Demands, avoid nuisance and possible expense and business delays, and provide additional information to its stockholders, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, AVROBIO

authorities would consider clinically meaningful, and a clinical trial can fail at any stage of testing. Further, the process of obtaining regulatory approval is expensive, often takes many years following the commencement of clinical trials and can
vary substantially based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product candidates involved, as well as the target indications, patient population and regulatory agency. Prior to obtaining approval to commercialize TX45 and any future product
candidates in the United States or abroad, we, our collaborators or our potential future collaborators must demonstrate with substantial evidence from adequate and well-controlled clinical trials, and to the satisfaction of the FDA or comparable
foreign regulatory authorities, that such product candidates are safe and effective for their intended uses. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Clinical trials that we
conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy and safety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidates. In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of
the same product candidate due to numerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherence to the clinical trial protocols and the rate of
dropout among clinical trial participants. If the results of our ongoing or future clinical trials are inconclusive with respect to the efficacy of our product candidates, if we do not meet the clinical endpoints with statistical and clinically
meaningful significance, or if there are safety concerns associated with our product candidates, we may be delayed in obtaining marketing approval, if at all. Additionally, any safety concerns observed in any one of our clinical trials in our

regulatory authorities will view our product candidates as having efficacy even if positive results are observed in clinical trials. Moreover, results acceptable to support approval in one jurisdiction may be deemed inadequate by another regulatory
authority to support regulatory approval in that other jurisdiction. To the extent that the results of the trials are not satisfactory to the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities for support of a marketing application, approval of TX45
and any future product candidates may be significantly delayed, or we may be required to expend significant additional resources, which may not be available to us, to conduct additional trials in support of potential approval of our product

Product candidates in later stages of clinical trials may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy traits despite having progressed through preclinical studies and initial clinical trials. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any of our
clinical trials will ultimately be successful or support further clinical development of any of our product candidates. There is a high failure rate for product candidates proceeding through clinical trials. Many companies in the biotechnology and
pharmaceutical industries have suffered significant setbacks in late-stage clinical trials after achieving positive results in early-stage development and we cannot be certain that we will not face similar setbacks. These setbacks have been caused
by, among other things, preclinical findings made while clinical trials were underway, or safety or efficacy observations made in preclinical studies and clinical trials, including previously unreported adverse events. Moreover, preclinical and
clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses and many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials nonetheless failed to obtain FDA approval. Any
such setbacks in our clinical development could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Before we can commence clinical trials for any product candidate, we must complete extensive preclinical studies that support any future
Investigational New Drug (&#147;IND&#148;) applications in the United States, or similar applications in other jurisdictions. In July 2024, we received clearance from the FDA for our IND application for our TX45 program but as the date of this
report, studies are only being conducted in Australia, Moldova and the Netherlands. Conducting preclinical testing is a lengthy, time-consuming and expensive process and delays associated with product candidates for which we are directly conducting
preclinical testing and studies may cause us to incur additional operating expenses. While we are currently conducting a Phase 1b and the recently initiated Phase 2 clinical trials for TX45, including some trials which may be outside of the United
States, we cannot be certain of the timely completion or outcome of our preclinical testing and studies for our other product candidates and cannot predict if the FDA will accept our proposed clinical programs or if the outcome of our preclinical
testing and foreign clinical trials will ultimately support the further development of our other product candidates. As a result, we cannot be sure that we will be able to submit INDs or similar applications for our preclinical programs on the
timelines we expect, if at all, and we cannot be sure that submission of INDs or similar applications will result in the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities allowing clinical trials to begin. </P>

capital to fund our operations, we must decide which product candidates to pursue and the amount of resources to allocate to each. Our decisions concerning the allocation of research, collaboration, management and financial resources toward
particular proprietary molecules in our library, product candidates or therapeutic areas may not lead to the development of viable commercial products and may divert resources away from better opportunities. Similarly, our decisions to delay,
terminate or collaborate with third parties in respect of certain product development programs may also prove not to be optimal and could cause us to miss valuable opportunities. If we make incorrect determinations regarding the market potential of
our product candidates or misread trends in the biotechnology industry, in particular for our lead product candidate, TX45, TX2100, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. </P>

benefits associated with orphan drug designation, including the potential for market exclusivity. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As part of our business
strategy, we may seek orphan drug designation for any product candidates we develop, and we may be unsuccessful. While we have not made a determination on whether we intend to seek orphan drug designation for any of our product candidates at this
time, we may do so in the future. Regulatory authorities in some jurisdictions, including the United States, may designate drugs for relatively small patient populations as orphan drugs. Under the Orphan Drug Act in the United States, the FDA may
designate a drug as an orphan drug if it is a drug intended to treat a rare disease or condition, which is generally defined as a patient population of fewer than 200,000 individuals annually in the United States, or a patient population greater
than 200,000 in the United States where there is no reasonable expectation that the cost of developing the drug will be recovered from sales in the United States. In the United States, orphan drug designation entitles a party to financial incentives
such as opportunities for grant funding towards certain clinical trial costs, tax advantages and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">user-fee</FONT> waivers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Generally, in the United States, if a drug with an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first marketing approval for the
indication for which it has such designation, the drug is entitled to a period of marketing exclusivity, which precludes the FDA from approving another marketing application for the same indication for seven years, except in limited circumstances.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Even if we obtain orphan drug exclusivity for any of our product candidates, that exclusivity may not effectively protect the product
candidate from competition because different therapies can be approved for the same condition and the same therapies can be approved for different conditions but used <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">off-label.</FONT> Even after an orphan drug is
approved, the FDA can subsequently approve the same drug for the same condition if the FDA concludes that the later drug is clinically superior in that it is shown to be safer, more effective or makes a major contribution to patient care. In
addition, a designated orphan drug may not receive orphan drug exclusivity if it is approved for a use that is broader than the indication for which it received orphan designation. Moreover, orphan drug exclusive marketing rights in the United
States may be lost if the FDA later determines that the request for designation was materially defective or if the manufacturer is unable to assure sufficient quantity of the drug to meet the needs of patients with the rare disease or condition.
Orphan drug designation neither shortens the development time or regulatory review time of a drug nor gives the drug any advantage in the regulatory review or approval process. While we may seek orphan drug designation for applicable indications for
our current and any future product candidates, we may never receive such designations. Even if we do receive such designations, there is no guarantee that we will enjoy the benefits of those designations. </P>

experienced marketing and manufacturing organizations and well-established sales forces. Smaller or early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly as they develop novel approaches to treating disease indications
that our product candidates are also focused on treating. Established pharmaceutical companies may also invest heavily to accelerate discovery and development of novel therapeutics or to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-license</FONT> novel
therapeutics that could make the product candidates that we develop obsolete. Mergers and acquisitions in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries may result in even more resources being concentrated in our competitors. Competition may
increase further as a result of advances in the commercial applicability of technologies and greater availability of capital for investment in these industries. Our competitors, either alone or with collaborative partners, may succeed in developing,
acquiring or licensing on an exclusive basis drug or biologic products that are more effective, safer, more easily commercialized or less costly than our product candidates or may develop proprietary technologies or secure patent protection that we
may need for the development of our technologies and products. We believe the key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, convenience of
use, price and reimbursement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We compete in the segments of the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and other related industries that develop
and market therapies for the treatment of Group 2 PH with HFpEF and Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (&#147;HHT&#148;) disorders. Although there are no other companies who have commercialized therapies for the same therapeutic areas that our
product candidates target, there are many other companies, including large biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, that are developing therapies for the same therapeutic areas. For example, AstraZeneca and Tenax Therapeutics for the treatment of
Group 2 PH and Diagonal Therapeutics and Vaderis Therapeutics for the treatment of HHT. Also, treatments that could potentially be of use across all HFpEF patients, such as are currently being developed by Lilly and others, could also benefit the
Group 2 PH subgroup of the HFpEF population and thus represent competition for us in this segment as well. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We anticipate that we will
continue to face intense and increasing competition as new treatments enter the market and advanced technologies become available. There can be no assurance that our competitors are not currently developing, or will not in the future develop,
products that are equally or more effective or are more economically attractive than any of our current or future product candidates. Competing products may gain faster or greater market acceptance than our products, if any, and medical advances or
rapid technological development by competitors may result in our product candidates becoming <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-competitive</FONT> or obsolete before we are able to recover our research and development and commercialization
expenses. If we or our product candidates do not compete effectively, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, collectively
referred to as the ACA, was enacted, which includes measures that have significantly changed the way health care is financed by both governmental and private insurers. There have been executive, judicial and congressional challenges to certain
aspects of the ACA. While Congress has not passed comprehensive legislation repealing the ACA, such legislation may be reintroduced. Members of Congress have introduced legislation to modify or replace certain provisions of the ACA. It is unclear
how these efforts to repeal and/or replace the ACA will impact the ACA and our business. For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, repealed the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-based</FONT> shared responsibility payment imposed by the ACA on
certain individuals who fail to maintain qualifying health coverage that is commonly referred to as the &#147;individual mandate.&#148; On June&nbsp;17, 2021, the Supreme Court dismissed a challenge on procedural grounds that argued the ACA is
unconstitutional in its entirety because the &#147;individual mandate&#148; was repealed by Congress. Prior to the United States Supreme Court ruling, on January&nbsp;28, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order that initiated a special
enrollment period for purposes of obtaining health insurance coverage through the ACA marketplace. The executive order also instructed certain governmental agencies to review and reconsider their existing policies and rules that limit access to
healthcare, including among others, reexamining Medicaid demonstration projects and waiver programs that include work requirements, and policies that create unnecessary barriers to obtaining access to health insurance coverage through Medicaid or
the ACA. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Further, on July&nbsp;9, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order directing the FDA to, among other things, continue to
clarify and improve the approval framework for generic drugs and biosimilars, including the standards for interchangeability of biological products, facilitate the development and approval of biosimilar and interchangeable products, clarify existing
requirements and procedures related to the review and submission of BLAs, and identify and address any efforts to impede generic drug and biosimilar competition. </P>

for price negotiation in 2025. The IRA permits HHS to implement many of these provisions through guidance, as opposed to regulation, for the initial years. HHS has and will continue to issue and update guidance as these programs are implemented. It
is possible that the ACA and IRA may be subject to judicial or Congressional challenges in the future. It is unclear how any additional healthcare reform measures may impact the ACA or IRA, increase the pressure on drug pricing or limit the
availability of coverage and adequate reimbursement for TX45 and any potential future product candidates, which would adversely affect our business. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There has also been increasing executive, legislative and enforcement interest in the United States with respect to drug pricing practices.
There have been U.S. congressional inquiries, presidential executive orders and proposed and enacted legislation designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to drug pricing, reduce the cost of prescription drugs under Medicare, review
the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient programs and reform government program reimbursement methodologies for drugs. For example, in an executive order, the administration of President Biden expressed its intent to pursue certain
policy initiatives to reduce drug prices and, in response, HHS released a Comprehensive Plan for Addressing High Drug Prices that outlines principles for drug pricing reform and sets out a variety of potential legislative policies that Congress
could pursue to lower drug prices. Further, in response to the Biden administration&#146;s October 2022 executive order, on February&nbsp;14, 2023, HHS released a report outlining three new models for testing by the Centers for Medicare&nbsp;&amp;
Medicaid Services (&#147;CMS&#148;), Innovation Center which will be evaluated on their ability to lower the cost of drugs, promote accessibility, and improve the quality of care. It is unclear whether the models will be utilized in any health
reform measures in the future. Further, on December&nbsp;7, 2023, the Biden administration announced an initiative to control the price of prescription drugs through the use of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">march-in</FONT> rights under the
Bayh-Dole Act. On December&nbsp;8, 2023, the National Institute of Standards and Technology published for comment a Draft Interagency Guidance Framework for Considering the Exercise of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">March-In</FONT> Rights which
for the first time includes the price of a product as one factor an agency can use when deciding to exercise <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">march-in</FONT> rights. While <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">march-in</FONT> rights have not previously
been exercised, it is uncertain if that will continue under the new framework. We expect that the healthcare reform measures that have been adopted and may be adopted in the future may result in more rigorous coverage criteria and additional
downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product and could seriously harm our future revenues. Any reduction in reimbursement from Medicare or other government programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from
private payors. The implementation of cost containment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our products. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the foreign, federal and state levels directed at
broadening the availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare, particularly in light of the recent U.S. presidential and Congressional elections. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenue from
TX45 and any potential future product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition and ability to develop product candidates. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In many countries outside the United States, government-sponsored healthcare systems are the primary payors for drugs. With increasing
budgetary constraints and/or difficulty in understanding the value of medicines, governments and payors in many countries are applying a variety of measures to exert downward price pressure and we expect that legislators, policy makers and
healthcare insurance funds in the EU Member States will continue to propose and implement cost cutting measures. These measures include mandatory price controls, price referencing, therapeutic-reference pricing, increases in mandates, incentives for
generic substitution and biosimilar usage, government-mandated price cuts, limitations on coverage of target population and introduction of volume caps. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Many countries implement health technology assessment (&#147;HTA&#148;), procedures that use formal economic metrics such as
cost-effectiveness to determine prices, coverage and reimbursement of new therapies. These assessments are increasingly implemented in established and emerging markets. In the EU, Regulation (EU) 2021/2282 on Health Technology Assessment, which will
become effective on January&nbsp;12, 2025, will allow EU member states to use common HTA tools, methodologies and procedures to conduct joint clinical assessments and joint scientific consultations whereby HTA authorities may provide advice to
health technology developers. Each EU member state will, however, remain exclusively competent for assessing the relative effectiveness of health technologies and making pricing and reimbursement decisions. Given that the extent to which pricing and
reimbursement decisions are influenced by the HTA process currently varies between EU member states, it is possible that our products may be subject to favorable pricing and reimbursement status only in certain EU countries. If we are unable to

in regions where we may have clinical trial sites or other business operations could adversely affect our business, including by causing significant disruptions in our operations and/or in the operations of third-party manufacturers and CROs upon
whom we rely. Disease outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics have negative impacts on our ability to initiate new clinical trial sites, to enroll new patients and to maintain existing patients who are participating in our clinical trials, which may
include increased clinical trial costs, longer timelines and delay in our ability to obtain regulatory approvals of TX45, TX2100 and any potential future product candidates, if at all. Disease outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics also could adversely
impact clinical trial results for TX45 or other future potential product candidates, such as by diminishing or eliminating their efficacy or by producing a safety concern, either through direct biological effects or through confounding of the data
collection and analysis. This adverse impact could terminate further development of TX45, result in a lack of product approval by the FDA or other regulatory authorities, delay the timing (and/or increase the cost) of a product approval by the FDA
or other regulatory authorities, lead to a restrictive product label that significantly limits prescribing of an approved product, delay or preclude reimbursement by payors, or significantly limit or preclude the commercialization of TX45. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, because our key manufacturer and supplier for TX45 is located in China, we are exposed to the possibility of product supply
disruption and increased costs in the event of changes in the policies, laws, rules and regulations of the United States or Chinese governments, as well as political unrest or unstable economic conditions in China. For example, trade tensions
between the United States and China have been escalating in recent years. Most notably, several rounds of U.S. tariffs have been placed on Chinese goods being exported to the United States. Each of these U.S. tariff impositions against Chinese
exports was followed by a round of retaliatory Chinese tariffs on U.S. exports to China. Our components may in the future be subject to these tariffs, which could increase our manufacturing costs and could make our products, if successfully
developed and approved, less competitive than those of our competitors whose inputs are not subject to these tariffs. We may otherwise experience supply disruptions or delays, and although we carefully manage our inventory and lead-times, our
supplier may not continue to provide us with battery components in our required quantities, to our required specifications and quality levels or at attractive prices. In addition, certain Chinese biotechnology companies and CDMOs may become subject
to trade restrictions, sanctions, other regulatory requirements, or proposed legislation by the U.S. government, which could restrict or even prohibit our ability to work with such entities, thereby potentially disrupting the supply of material to
us. For example, the recently proposed BIOSECURE Act passed in the U.S. House of Representatives, as well as a substantially similar bill in the U.S. Senate, target U.S. government contracts, grants, and loans for entities that use equipment and
services from certain named Chinese biotechnology companies, and would authorize the U.S. government to name additional Chinese biotechnology companies of concern. If these bills become law, or similar laws are passed, they would have the potential
to severely restrict the ability of companies to work with certain Chinese biotechnology companies of concern without losing the ability to contract with, or otherwise receive funding from, the U.S. government. Such disruption could have adverse
effects on the development of our product candidates and our business operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>General supply chain issues may be exacerbated

for our clinical trials could adversely affect our ability to conduct ongoing and future clinical trials of TX45 or TX2100 on our anticipated development timelines. Likewise, the operations of our third-party manufacturers may be requisitioned,
diverted or allocated by U.S. or foreign government orders. If any of our CMOs or raw materials or components suppliers become subject to acts or orders of U.S. or foreign government entities to allocate or prioritize manufacturing capacity, raw
materials or components to the manufacture or distribution of vaccines or medical supplies needed to test or treat patients in a disease outbreak, epidemic or pandemic, this could delay our clinical trials, perhaps substantially, which could

controlled by the government and some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. In many countries, the pricing review period begins after regulatory approval for the product is granted. Regulatory agencies in
those countries could determine that the pricing for our products should be based on prices of other commercially available drugs for the same disease, rather than allowing us to market our products at a premium as new drugs. As a result, we might
obtain marketing approval for a product in a particular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay or limit commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which could negatively impact the revenue we generate
from the sale of the product in that particular country. In some foreign markets, prescription pharmaceutical pricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder
our ability to recoup our investment in one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtains marketing approval. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our
commercial success also depends on coverage and adequate reimbursement of our product candidates by third-party payors, including government payors, private health insurers, health maintenance organizations and other organizations, which may be
difficult or time-consuming to obtain, may be limited in scope and may not be obtained in all jurisdictions in which we may seek to market our products. In the United States and markets in other countries, governments and private insurers closely
examine medical products to determine whether they should be covered by reimbursement and, if so, the level of reimbursement that will apply. In the United States, the principal decisions about reimbursement for new medicines are typically made by
the CMS an agency within the HHS. CMS decides whether and to what extent a new medicine will be covered and reimbursed under Medicare and private payors tend to follow CMS to a substantial degree. Government authorities and other third-party payors
have attempted to control costs by limiting coverage and the amount of reimbursement for particular drugs. Increasingly, third-party payors are requiring that drug companies provide them with predetermined discounts from list prices and are
challenging the prices charged for drug products. We cannot be sure that coverage and reimbursement will be available for any product that we or our partners commercialize and, if reimbursement is available, what the level of reimbursement will be.
Coverage and reimbursement may impact the demand for, or the price of, any product candidate for which we or our partners obtain regulatory approval. If coverage and reimbursement are not available or reimbursement is available only to limited
levels, we and our partners may not be able to successfully commercialize any product candidate for which marketing approval is obtained. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There may be significant delays in obtaining coverage and reimbursement for newly approved drugs, and coverage may be more limited than the
purposes for which the drug is approved by the FDA or comparable foreign health authorities. Moreover, eligibility for coverage and reimbursement does not imply that a drug will be paid for in all cases or at a rate that covers our costs, including
costs of research, development, manufacture, sale and distribution. Interim reimbursement levels for new drugs, if applicable, may also not be sufficient to cover our costs and may only be temporary. Reimbursement rates may vary according to the use
of the drug and the clinical setting in which it is used, may be based on reimbursement levels already set for lower cost drugs and may be incorporated into existing payments for other services. Net prices for drugs may be reduced by mandatory
discounts or rebates required by government healthcare programs or private payors and by any future relaxation of laws that presently restrict imports of drugs from countries where they may be sold at lower prices than in the United States. In
addition, many pharmaceutical manufacturers must calculate and report certain price reporting metrics to the government, such as average sales price and best price. Penalties may apply in some cases when such metrics are not submitted accurately and
timely. Further, these prices for drugs may be reduced by mandatory discounts or rebates required by government healthcare programs. Our inability to promptly obtain coverage and profitable reimbursement rates from both government-funded and private
payors for any approved products that we develop could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, ability to raise capital needed to commercialize products and overall financial condition. </P>

rights and technology, and we may not be able to ensure their protection. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our commercial success will depend in large part on
obtaining and maintaining patent, trademark and trade secret protection of our proprietary technologies and our product candidates, their respective components, formulations, combination therapies, and methods used to manufacture them and methods of
treatment, as well as successfully defending these patents against third-party challenges. Our ability to stop unauthorized third parties from making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing our product candidates is dependent upon the extent
to which we have rights under valid and enforceable patents that cover these activities. If we are unable to secure and maintain patent protection for any product or technology we develop, or if the scope of the patent protection secured is not
sufficiently broad, our competitors could develop and commercialize products and technology similar or identical to ours, and our ability to commercialize any product candidates we may develop may be adversely affected. The patenting process is
expensive and time-consuming, and we may not be able to file, prosecute and maintain all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. In addition, we may not pursue, obtain or maintain patent protection in
all relevant markets. It is also possible that we will fail to identify patentable aspects of our research and development output before it is too late to obtain patent protection. Moreover, in some circumstances, we may not have the right to
control the preparation, filing and prosecution of patent applications, or to maintain the patents, covering technology that we license from or license to third parties and are reliant on our licensors or licensees. In addition, we cannot guarantee
that patent applications or patents that we initially believe to be owned by the company will not be encumbered by third party ownership or other third party rights that may not have been evident to us at the time of preparation or filing. For
instance, such rights could arise from the intellectual contributions of company employees who were previously employed by third parties, such as universities or other biopharmaceutical or pharmaceutical companies, including our competitors or
potential competitors, or from the intellectual contributions of company consultants, advisors, or independent contractors with current or previous relationships with such third parties. Therefore, these patents and applications may not be prepared,
filed, prosecuted or enforced in a manner consistent with the best interests of our business. Furthermore, licenses from such third parties may be required or desirable but may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The strength of patents in the biotechnology field involves complex legal and scientific questions and can be uncertain. The patent
applications that we own or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-license</FONT> may fail to result in issued patents with claims that cover our product candidates or uses thereof in the United States or in other foreign countries. Even if the patents
are successfully issued, third parties may challenge the validity, enforceability or scope thereof, which may result in such patents being narrowed, invalidated or held unenforceable. Furthermore, even if they are unchallenged, our patents and
patent applications may not adequately protect our intellectual property or prevent others from designing around its claims. If the breadth or strength of protection provided by the patent applications, we hold with respect to our product candidates
is threatened, we could dissuade companies from collaborating with us to develop, and threaten our ability to commercialize, our product candidates. Further, if we encounter delays in our clinical trials, the period of time during which we could
market our product candidates under patent protection would be reduced. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot be certain that we were the first to file
any patent application related to our product candidates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may be required to disclaim part or all of the term of certain patents or
all of the term of certain patent applications. There may be prior art of which we are not aware that may affect the validity or enforceability of a patent claim, and we may be subject to a third-party preissuance submission of prior art to the
USPTO. There also may be prior art of which we are aware, but which we believe does not affect the validity or enforceability of a claim, which may, nonetheless, ultimately be found to affect the validity or enforceability of a claim. No assurance
can be given that if challenged, our patents would be declared by a court to be valid or enforceable or that even if found valid and enforceable, a competitor&#146;s technology or product would be found by a court to infringe our patents. We may
analyze patents or patent applications of our competitors that we believe are relevant to our activities, and consider that we are free to operate in relation to our product candidates, but our competitors may achieve issued claims, including in
patents we consider to be unrelated, which block our efforts or may potentially result in our product candidates or our activities infringing such claims. The possibility exists that others will develop products which have the same effect as our
products on an independent basis which do not infringe our patents or other intellectual property rights or will design around the claims of patents that we have had issued that cover our products. </P>

and the enforcement or defense of our issued patents. Under the enacted Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (&#147;America Invents Act&#148;), enacted in 2013, the United States moved from a &#147;first to invent&#148; to a <FONT

<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;first-to-file&#148;</FONT></FONT> provisions, only became effective in March 2013. In addition, the courts have yet to address many of these provisions and the applicability of
the act and new regulations on specific patents discussed herein have not been determined and would need to be reviewed. However, the America Invents Act and our implementation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution

administrative proceedings for challenging patents, including interference, derivation, <I>inter partes</I> review, post grant review, and reexamination proceedings before the USPTO or oppositions and other comparable proceedings in foreign
jurisdictions. We may be exposed to, or threatened with, future litigation by third parties having patent or other intellectual property rights alleging that our product candidates and/or proprietary technologies infringe their intellectual property
rights. Numerous U.S. and foreign issued patents and pending patent applications, which are owned by third parties, exist in the fields in which we are developing our product candidates. There may be third-party patents or patent applications with
claims to materials, formulations, methods of manufacture or methods for treatment related to our product candidates and programs. As the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries expand and more patents are issued, the risk increases that our
product candidates may give rise to claims of infringement of the patent rights of others. Moreover, it is not always clear to industry participants, including us, which patents cover various types of drugs, products or their methods of use or
manufacture. Thus, because of the large number of patents issued and patent applications filed in our fields, there may be a risk that third parties may allege they have patent rights encompassing our product candidates, technologies or methods.

approved, are valid and enforceable, we may be incorrect in this belief, or we may not be able to prove it in a litigation. In this regard, patents issued in the United States by law enjoy a
presumption of validity that can be rebutted only with evidence that is &#147;clear and convincing,&#148; a heightened standard of proof. There may be third-party patents of which we are currently unaware with claims to materials, formulations,
methods of manufacture or methods for treatment related to the use or manufacture of our product candidates. Because patent applications can take many years to issue, there may be currently pending patent applications which may later result in
issued patents that our product candidates may infringe. In addition, third parties may obtain patents in the future and claim that use of our technologies infringes upon these patents. If any third-party patents were held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to cover the manufacturing process of our product candidates, constructs or molecules used in or formed during the manufacturing process, or any final product itself, the holders of any such patents may be able to block our ability to
commercialize the product candidate unless we obtained a license under the applicable patents, or until such patents expire or they are finally determined to be held invalid or unenforceable. Similarly, if any third-party patent were held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to cover aspects of our formulations, processes for manufacture or methods of use, the holders of any such patent may be able to block our ability to develop and commercialize the product candidate unless we obtained a
license or until such patent expires or is finally determined to be held invalid or unenforceable. In either case, such a license may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain a necessary license to a

making claims against us may seek and obtain injunctive or other equitable relief, which could effectively block our ability to further develop and commercialize our product candidates. Defense of these claims, regardless of their merit, would

attorneys&#146; fees for willful infringement, obtain one or more licenses from third parties, pay royalties or redesign our infringing products, which may be impossible or require substantial time and monetary expenditure. We cannot predict whether
any such license would be available at all or whether it would be available on commercially reasonable terms. Even if such a license is available, it may be <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-exclusive,</FONT> which could result in our competitors
gaining access to the same intellectual property. Furthermore, even in the absence of litigation, we may need to obtain licenses from third parties to advance our research or allow commercialization of our product candidates. We may fail to obtain

determine priority of invention in the United States. If we or one of our licensors is a party to an interference proceeding involving a U.S. patent application on inventions owned by or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-licensed</FONT> to us, we

current patent rights and could require us to cease using the related technology or to attempt to license rights to it from the prevailing party. Our business could be harmed if the prevailing party does not offer us a license on commercially
reasonable terms or at all. Litigation or interference proceedings may result in a decision adverse to our interests and, even if we are successful, may result in substantial costs and distract our management and other employees. We may not be able

of the patent. The USPTO and various foreign governmental patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other provisions during the patent application process and following the issuance of a patent.
While an inadvertent lapse can in many cases be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules, there are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent
application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. Noncompliance events that could result in abandonment or lapse of a patent or patent application include, but are not limited to, failure to respond to
official actions within prescribed time limits, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-payment</FONT> of fees and failure to properly legalize and submit formal documents. In such an event, our competitors might be able to enter the market, which

third party to enforce a patent covering one of our product candidates, the defendant could counterclaim that the patent covering our product candidate, as applicable, is invalid and/or unenforceable. In patent litigation in the United States,
defendant counterclaims alleging invalidity and/or unenforceability are commonplace, and there are numerous grounds upon which a third-party can assert invalidity or unenforceability of a patent. Third parties may also raise similar claims before
administrative bodies in the United States or abroad, even outside the context of litigation. Such mechanisms include <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-examination,</FONT> post grant review, and equivalent proceedings in foreign jurisdictions
(e.g., opposition proceedings). Such proceedings could result in revocation or amendment to our patents in such a way that they no longer cover our product candidates. The outcome following legal assertions of invalidity and unenforceability is
unpredictable. With respect to the validity question, for example, we cannot be certain that there is no invalidating prior art, of which we, our patent counsel and the patent examiner were unaware during prosecution. If a defendant were to prevail
on a legal assertion of invalidity and/or unenforceability, or if we are otherwise unable to adequately protect our rights, we would lose at least part, and perhaps all, of the patent protection on our product candidates. Such a loss of patent
protection could have a material adverse impact on our business and our ability to commercialize or license our technology and product candidates. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As is the case with other biotechnology companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly patents. Obtaining
and enforcing patents in the biotechnology industry involve both technological and legal complexity, and is therefore costly, time-consuming and inherently uncertain. Changes in either the patent laws or interpretation of the patent laws in the
United States or in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ex-U.S.</FONT> jurisdictions could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of patent applications and the enforcement or defense of issued patents. In addition, the United
States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wide-ranging patent reform legislation. Recent Supreme Court rulings have narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances and weakened the rights of patent owners
in certain situations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents, once obtained. Depending on decisions
by the U.S. Congress, the federal courts, and the USPTO, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that would weaken our ability to obtain new patents or to enforce our existing patents and patents that we might
obtain in the future. For example, in the case <I>Amgen Inc. v. Sanofi,</I> the Federal Circuit held that a well-characterized antigen is insufficient to satisfy the written description requirement of certain claims directed to a genus of antibodies
that are solely defined by function; and in the case of <I>Assoc. for Molecular</I> <I>Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc.,</I> the Supreme Court held that certain claims to DNA molecules are not patentable. We cannot predict how these decisions or
any future decisions by the courts, the U.S. Congress or the USPTO may impact the value of our patents. Similarly, any adverse changes in the patent laws of other jurisdictions could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial
condition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on product candidates in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and our
intellectual property rights in some countries outside the United States can be less extensive than those in the United States. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do
federal and state laws in the United States. Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our inventions in all countries outside the United States, or from selling or importing products made using our inventions in and
into the United States or other jurisdictions. Many countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third parties. In addition, many countries limit the enforceability of patents against
government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, the patent owner may have limited remedies, which could materially diminish the value of such patent. If we or any of our licensors are forced to grant a license to third parties
with respect to any patents relevant to its business, our competitive position may be impaired, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected. Also, competitors may use our technologies in
jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection to develop our own products and, further, may export otherwise infringing products to territories where we have patent protection but where enforcement is not as strong as that in the United
States. These products may compete with our products in jurisdictions where we do not have any issued patents and our patent claims or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The
legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property protection, which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our
patents or marketing of competing products against third parties in violation of our proprietary rights generally. The initiation of proceedings by third parties to challenge the scope or validity of our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could
result in substantial cost and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other
aspects of our business, could put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and our patent applications at risk of not issuing and could provoke third parties to assert claims against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits
that we initiate and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. </P>

patent term adjustments and/or extensions, may be available, but the life of a patent, and the protection it affords, is limited. Even if patents covering our product candidates are obtained, once the patent life has expired, we may be open to
competition from competitive products, including biosimilars. Given the amount of time required for the development, testing and regulatory review of new product candidates, patents protecting such candidates might expire before or shortly after

Hatch-Waxman Amendments permit a patent extension term of up to five years as compensation for patent term lost during the FDA regulatory review process. A patent term extension cannot extend the remaining term of a patent beyond a total of 14 years
from the date of product approval, only one patent may be extended and only those claims covering the approved drug, a method for using it, or a method for manufacturing it may be extended. However, we may not be granted an extension because of, for
example, failing to exercise due diligence during the testing phase or regulatory review process, failing to apply within applicable deadlines, failing to apply prior to expiration of relevant patents, or otherwise failing to satisfy applicable
requirements. Moreover, the applicable time period or the scope of patent protection afforded could be less than we request. If we are unable to obtain patent term extension or term of any such extension is less than we request, our competitors may

companies of concern&#148; beyond the grandfathering period. In addition to the BIOSECURE Act, any additional U.S. executive action, legislative action, or potential sanctions with China could materially impact our work with WuXi Biologics. U.S.
executive agencies have the ability to designate entities and individuals on various governmental prohibited and restricted parties lists. Depending on the designation, potential consequences can range from a comprehensive prohibition on all
transactions or dealings with designated parties, or a limited prohibition on certain types of activities, such as exports and financing activities, with designated parties. If we are required to change manufacturers for any reason, we will be
required to verify that the new manufacturer maintains facilities and procedures that comply with quality standards and with all applicable regulations and guidelines. For example, in the event that we need to transfer from WuXi Biologics, which is
our sole manufacturing source for TX45, we anticipate that the complexity of the manufacturing process may materially impact the amount of time it would take to secure a replacement manufacturer. The delays associated with the verification of a new
manufacturer, if we are able to identify an alternative source, could negatively affect our ability to supply product candidates, including TX45, in a timely manner or within budget. If any CMO on which we will rely fails to manufacture quantities
of a product candidate at quality levels necessary to meet regulatory requirements and at a scale sufficient to meet anticipated demand at a cost that allows us to achieve profitability, our business, financial condition, cash flows, and prospects
could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, our CMO and/or distribution partners are responsible for transporting temperature-controlled materials that can be inadvertently degraded during transport due to several factors, rendering
certain batches unsuitable for trial use for failure to meet, among others, our integrity and purity specifications. We and our CMO may also face product seizure or detention or refusal to permit the import or export of products. Our business could
be materially adversely affected by business disruptions to our third-party providers that could materially adversely affect our anticipated timelines, potential future revenue and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses. Each of
these risks could delay or prevent the completion of our preclinical studies and clinical trials or the approval of any of our product candidates by the FDA, result in higher costs or adversely impact commercialization of our products. </P>

replaced or if the quality or accuracy of the clinical data they obtain is compromised due to the failure to adhere to our preclinical or clinical protocols, regulatory requirements or for other reasons, our preclinical or clinical trials may be
extended, delayed or terminated and we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or successfully commercialize our product candidates. As a result, our results of operations and the commercial prospects for our product candidates would be

CROs (or investigators) involves additional cost and requires management time and focus. In addition, there is a natural transition period when a new laboratory or CRO commences work. As a result, delays occur, which can materially impact our

compensation in connection with such services. If these relationships and any related compensation result in perceived or actual conflicts of interest, or the FDA concludes that the financial relationship may have affected the interpretation of the
preclinical study or clinical trial, the integrity of the data generated at the applicable preclinical study or clinical trial site may be questioned and the utility of the preclinical study or clinical trial itself may be jeopardized, which could
result in the delay or rejection by the FDA. Any such delay or rejection could prevent us from commercializing our clinical-stage product candidate or any future product candidates. </P>

protection landscape is changing rapidly. Many states have enacted comprehensive privacy laws. For example, the California Consumer Rights Act (&#147;CCPA&#148;), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (&#147;CPRA&#148;) applies to
personal information data of consumers, business representatives, and employees who are California residents and requires businesses to provide specific disclosures in privacy notices and honor requests of such individuals to exercise certain rights
concerning their personal data. The CCPA provides fines for noncompliance and a limited private right of action in connection with certain data breaches. While the CCPA contains an exemption for certain personal information processed in connection
with clinical trials, we may process other personal information that is subject to the CCPA. Other states, such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah, have also passed comprehensive privacy laws that become effective in 2023, and similar laws

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are bound by contractual obligations and our efforts to comply with such obligations may not be successful. We may publish privacy

transparency, deceptive, unfair or misrepresentative of our practices, we may be subject to investigation, enforcement actions by regulators or other adverse consequences. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our obligations related to data privacy and security (and consumers&#146; data privacy obligations) are quickly changing in an increasingly
stringent fashion and creating uncertainty. These obligations may be subject to differing applications and interpretations, which may be inconsistent or in conflict among jurisdictions. Monitoring, preparing for and complying with these obligations
requires us to devote significant resources (including, without limitation, financial and time-related resources). These obligations may necessitate changes to our information technologies, systems and practices and to those of any third parties
that process personal information on our behalf. In addition, these obligations may require us to change aspects of our business model. Although we endeavor to comply with applicable data privacy and security obligations, we may at times fail (or be
perceived to have failed) to do so. Moreover, despite our efforts, our personnel or third parties upon whom we rely may fail to comply with such obligations, which could impact whether or not we are in compliance. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we (or third parties on which we rely) fail, or are perceived to have failed, to address or comply with data privacy, protection and
security obligations, we could face significant consequences, including (without limitation): government enforcement actions (e.g., investigations, fines, penalties, audits, inspections and similar); litigation (including class-related claims) and
mass arbitration demands; additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; bans on processing personal information; orders to destroy or not use personal information; and/or imprisonment of company officials. In particular, plaintiffs have become
increasingly more active in bringing privacy-related claims against companies, including class claims and mass arbitration demands. Some of these claims allow for the recovery of statutory damages on a per violation basis, and, if viable, carry the
potential for monumental statutory damages, depending on the volume of data and the number of violations. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business or financial condition, including but not limited to: loss
of customers; interruptions or stoppages in our business operations (including clinical trials); inability to process personal information or to operate in certain jurisdictions; limited ability to develop or commercialize our products; expenditure
of time and resources to defend any claim or inquiry; adverse publicity; or revision or restructuring of our operations. </P>

growth, increases in unemployment rates and uncertainty about economic stability. There can be no assurance that further deterioration in credit and financial markets and confidence in economic conditions will not occur. Our general business
strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturn, volatile business environment or continued unpredictable and unstable market conditions. If the current equity and credit markets deteriorate, any necessary debt or equity financing
that we undertake may be more difficult, more costly and more dilutive than it would be otherwise. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy and
financial performance and could require us to delay or abandon clinical development plans. In addition, there is a risk that one or more of our current service providers, manufacturers and other partners may not survive an economic downturn, which

financial condition and results of operations are reported. Compliance with new accounting standards may also result in additional expenses. As a result, we intend to invest all reasonably necessary resources to comply with evolving standards, and

materials, including chemicals and biological and radioactive materials. Our operations also produce hazardous waste. We generally contract with third parties for the disposal of these materials and wastes. We cannot eliminate the risk of
contamination or injury from these materials. In the event of contamination or injury resulting from our use of hazardous materials, we could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any liability could exceed our resources. Under certain

costs and expenses we may incur due to injuries to our employees resulting from the use of hazardous materials, this insurance may not provide adequate coverage against potential liabilities. We do not carry specific biological or hazardous waste
insurance coverage, and our property, casualty and general liability insurance policies specifically exclude coverage for damages and fines arising from biological or hazardous waste exposure or contamination. Accordingly, in the event of
contamination or injury, we could be held liable for damages or be penalized with fines in an amount exceeding our resources, and our clinical trials or regulatory approvals could be suspended, which could have a material adverse effect on our

companies. In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the &#147;Dodd-Frank Act&#148;) was enacted. There are significant corporate governance and executive compensation related provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act that
require the SEC to adopt additional rules and regulations in these areas such as &#147;say on pay&#148; and proxy access. Stockholder activism, the current political environment and the current high level of government intervention and regulatory
reform may lead to substantial new regulations and disclosure obligations, which may lead to additional compliance costs and impact the manner in which we operate our business in ways we cannot currently anticipate. Our management and other
personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costlier.

delays, and provide additional information to its stockholders, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, AVROBIO decided voluntarily to supplement certain disclosures in the Registration Statement (the &#147;Supplemental
Disclosures&#148;). On June&nbsp;4, 2024, AVROBIO made certain Supplemental Disclosures on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">8-K</FONT> filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Following the issuance of the Supplemental Disclosures,

litigation. Any lawsuit to which we are a party, with or without merit, may result in an unfavorable judgment. We also may decide to settle lawsuits on unfavorable terms. Any such negative outcome could result in payments of substantial damages or
fines, damage to our reputation or adverse changes to our business practices. Defending against litigation is costly and time-consuming, and could divert our management&#146;s attention and our resources. Furthermore, during the course of
litigation, there could be negative public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments, which could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. </P>

Court for the District of Massachusetts will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, or the Federal Forum Provision, as our principal executive offices are located in
Watertown, Massachusetts. In addition, our amended and restated bylaws provide that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock is deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing
Delaware Forum Provision and the Federal Forum Provision; provided, however, that stockholders cannot and will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We recognize that the Delaware Forum Provision and the Federal Forum Provision may impose additional litigation costs on stockholders in
pursuing any such claims, particularly if the stockholders do not reside in or near the State of Delaware or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Additionally, these forum selection clauses in our amended and restated bylaws may limit our
stockholders&#146; ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees even
though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders. Section&nbsp;22 of the Securities Act creates a concurrent jurisdiction for state and federal courts over all suits brought concerning a duty or liability created by the securities
laws, rules and regulations thereunder. While the Delaware Supreme Court and other state courts have upheld the validity of federal forum selection provisions purporting to require claims under the Securities Act be brought in federal court, there
is uncertainty as to whether other courts will enforce our Federal Forum Provision. The Federal Forum Provision may also impose additional litigation costs on stockholders who assert the provision is unenforceable, and if the Federal Forum Provision
is found to be unenforceable, we may incur additional costs with resolving such matters. The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts may also reach different judgments or
results than would other courts, including courts where a stockholder considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments may be more or less favorable to us than our stockholders. </P>
