Forward-looking statements 2 PIONEERING mRNA CELL THERAPY FOR AUTOIMMUNITY

Executive summary 3 Cartesian’s lead asset, Descartes-08, delivers deep and durable responses in MG through 12 months following a single course of therapy—administered outpatient without lymphodepletion—positioning it to transform the current treatment landscape. The AURORA Phase 3 trial positions Descartes-08 to capture a $1B+ market opportunity in MG*, differentiated from chronic biologic therapies—backed by leadership with a strong commercial track record. US-based in-house manufacturing supports commercial readiness for MG launch with potential biologic-like margins and full supply chain control – ongoing process optimization creates opportunity for further margin expansion. Currently planned expansion into myositis positions Descartes-08 to address significant unmet medical need in a sizeable patient population. Strong efficacy signal observed in patients treated with Descartes-08 in Phase 2 SLE trial, supporting broad applicability across autoimmune diseases and enabling expansion into multiple indications beyond MG. *Internal company projectionsPIONEERING mRNA CELL THERAPY FOR AUTOIMMUNITY MG, myasthenia gravis

26 Appendix PIONEERING mRNA CELL THERAPY FOR AUTOIMMUNITY

Descartes-08 is designed for dual action, precisely targeting two key BCMA+ cell populations involved in a spectrum of autoimmune diseases 27 Several autoimmune disease segments involve pathogenic contributions from both PCs/plasmablasts and pDCs, including rheumatology, nephrology, neurology, and others Selectively deleting PCs/plasmablasts and pDCs, if successful, may create a differentiated cell therapy platform • Descartes-08 is designed to target BCMA, a surface antigen expressed on plasma cells/plasmablasts and plasmacytoid dendritic cells PLASMA CELLS (PCs) AND PLASMABLASTS • PCs, plasmablasts and proliferating B cells targeted by Descartes-08 represent a tiny fraction of B cells • These cells are entirely responsible for secreting pathogenic autoantibodies • During autoimmunity, autoantibodies attack host tissue and drive inflammation PLASMACYTOID DENDRITIC CELLS (pDCs) • pDCs, which Descartes-08 is designed to target, are a rare subset of antigen-presenting cells • These cells secrete high levels of cytokines (i.e., type I interferons) that cause inflammation and tissue damage during many human autoimmune diseases • pDCs are increased in patients with autoimmunity (e.g., SLE) and interfere with optimal treatment PIONEERING mRNA CELL THERAPY FOR AUTOIMMUNITY
