Recent Company Developments and Updates

Advancing ifezuntirgene inilparvovec towards potential accelerated approval for the treatment of Huntington’s disease

• In November 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted for review the Company’s Biologics License Application (BLA) for ifezuntirgene inilparvovec, submitted under the Accelerated Approval pathway. The BLA was granted Priority Review with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of May 1, 2027. The BLA is supported by 36-month data from 12 high-dose patients compared with a propensity score-matched external control.
• In September 2026, the Company announced additional data from its ongoing Phase I/II studies with a data cutoff of June 30, 2026.
  • In the 12 high-dose patients with 48 months of follow-up, composite Unified Huntington’s Rating Scale (cUHDRS), the pre-specified primary endpoint for the analysis, showed a 44% slowing of disease progression versus the updated external control (non-significant p=0.144). Total Functional Capacity (TFC), the primary measure for the confirmatory study, showed a 61% slowing (nominal p=0.008) at 48 months. At 48-months, high-dose patients compared to low-dose patients showed 1.1 points less decline on cUHDRS and 0.33 points less decline on TFC, consistent with a dose-dependent treatment effect. Cerebrospinal fluid neurofilament light chain (NfL) remained near baseline at 48 months.
  • An updated 36-month analysis including all 15 high-dose patients showed an 80% slowing on cUHDRS (nominal p=0.005) and a 67% slowing on TFC (nominal p=0.011).
  • Ifezuntirgene inilparvovec was generally well tolerated with a manageable safety profile across 51 total treated patients.

• The Company and the FDA reached alignment on key elements of the confirmatory study of ifezuntirgene inilparvovec. The study is designed as a randomized, standard-of-care-controlled trial enrolling approximately 200 patients randomized in a 2:1 ratio to treatment or standard of care, with TFC as the primary endpoint at 36 months. The Company plans to initiate patient screening, beginning in the U.S., by the end of 2026.
• In the third quarter of 2026, the United Kingdom’s (U.K.) Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) validated the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for ifezuntirgene inilparvovec, which was submitted to the MHRA earlier in the quarter.
• The Company continues to advance its launch readiness activities, including the build out of its field medical, market access, and strategic account teams as well as engagement with U.S. Huntington’s disease treatment centers.

Continued clinical progress in pipeline programs

AMT-260 for the treatment of refractory mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE)

• In the third quarter of 2026, the Company completed enrollment in the second dose cohort of seven patients in the ongoing Phase I/IIa study and expects to present updated results in the first half of 2027.

AMT-191 for the treatment of Fabry disease

• In August 2026, enrollment resumed in the mid- and high-dose cohorts of the ongoing Phase I/II study of AMT-191 in Fabry disease. Per protocol, dosing had previously been paused after observing asymptomatic liver enzyme elevations in two mid-dose patients, which resolved following a course of immunosuppression.
• The Company expects to present updated results from the Phase I/II study in all dosing cohorts in the first half of 2027.

Focused execution and strong financial position

• As of September 30, 2026, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and investment securities of $768.4 million. The Company expects that these resources will be sufficient to fund projected operating expenses into 2030.

Financial Highlights

Cash Position: As of September 30, 2026, the Company held $768.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and investment securities, compared to $622.5 million as of December 31, 2025. The Company expects that these resources will be sufficient to fund projected operating expenses into 2030.

Revenues: Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $5.2 million, compared to $3.7 million in the same period in 2025. The increase of $1.5 million is due to an increase in license revenue, compared to the prior period.

R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $35.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $34.4 million in the same period in 2025. The $1.1 million increase primarily resulted from a $3.6 million increase in employee and contractor-related expenses including share-based compensation partially offset by a $2.3 million decrease in direct research and development expenses. The decrease in direct research and development expenses resulted from a $4.1 million reduction in process validation expenses related to ifezuntirgene inilparvovec, a $1.5 million increase in expenses related to AMT-260 and a $1.7 million increase in expenses related to preclinical activities and technology innovation projects.

SG&A Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses were $23.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $19.4 million during the same period in 2025. The $4.5 million increase was primarily related to a $3.0 million increase in employee and contractor-related expenses, including share-based compensation, mainly as a result of the recruitment efforts over the last 12 to 15 months, a $0.7 million increase in professional fees and a $0.7 million increase in information technology costs to support the potential commercial launches of ifezuntirgene inilparvovec.

Non-Operating Items, net: Other non-operating items, net was an expense of $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to an expense of $20.9 million during the same period in 2025. The $13.3 million decrease in net non-operating expense was primarily due to $6.3 million reduction of expenses related to pre-funded warrants as well as $6.8 million improvement of net interest income.

Net loss: The net loss for the three months ending September 30, 2026, was $61.2 million, or $0.88 basic and diluted loss per ordinary share, compared to $80.5 million net loss for the comparative period in 2025, or $1.38 basic and diluted loss per ordinary share.
