PART I Item 1. Business Overview We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel small and large molecule product candidates for immuno-inflammatory diseases. Our proprietary KINect drug discovery platform combined with our preclinical development capabilities allows us to identify and advance potential product candidates that we may develop independently or in collaboration with third parties. In addition to identifying and developing our novel product candidates, we are pursuing strategic alternatives, including identifying and consummating transactions with third-party partners, to further develop, obtain marketing approval for and/or commercialize our novel product candidates. We also provide contract research services to third parties enabled by our early-stage research and development expertise. Our Approach
In addition to our small molecule discovery efforts, we maintain capabilities in biologics discovery to complement our therapeutic portfolio. Through our integrated discovery platform, we can progress biologics candidates from concept through lead optimization, employing robust screening cascades and protein characterization techniques to identify molecules with desired therapeutic properties. This complementary approach to our small molecule programs enables us to pursue optimal therapeutic modalities for each target and indication of interest. We intend to evaluate both internal and external development options, including strategic partnerships, for these assets. Manufacturing and Supply We do not have any manufacturing facilities. We rely on third parties for the manufacture of preclinical and clinical supplies for our product candidates. Competition

We are a clinical-stage, oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company developing proprietary antibody-based therapeutics to treat multiple human diseases. Our scientific focus is on the relationship between angiogenesis, the immune system, and tumor growth. Our pipeline of novel product candidates is designed to target multiple critical biological pathways required for an effective anti-tumor response. These include modulation of the microvasculature via angiogenesis-targeted agents, induction of a potent immune response via activators on effector cells in the tumor microenvironment, and alleviation of immunosuppressive mechanisms used by tumors to evade immune surveillance. We plan to advance our product candidates through clinical development as both standalone therapies and in combination with proprietary pipeline antibodies based on supportive clinical and nonclinical data.

Additionally, ATI-2138 demonstrated a dose-dependent inhibition of both ITK and JAK3 exploratory PD biomarkers, with near maximal inhibition achieved at the 30 mg total daily dose. No serious adverse events were reported. We are conducting a Phase 2a open-label trial to investigate the safety, tolerability, PK, efficacy, and PD of ATI-2138 administered over 12 weeks in approximately 15 patients in the United States with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. The primary endpoints are safety related parameters. Secondary endpoints include EASI response (EASI-50, EASI-75, EASI-90), validated IGA response, body surface area response and other pertinent efficacy related measures.

We plan to advance our product candidates through clinical development as both standalone therapies and in combination with proprietary pipeline antibodies based on supportive clinical and nonclinical data.
Our pipeline comprises three clinical product candidates and one candidate in investigational new drug application (“IND”) enabling studies. Our lead product candidate, tovecimig (formerly known as CTX-009), is a bispecific antibody targeting Delta-like ligand 4 (“DLL4”), a ligand of Notch-1, and vascular endothelial growth factor A (“VEGF-A”). Simultaneous blockade of the VEGF-A and the Notch pathways is known to turn productive angiogenesis into non-productive angiogenesis, which leads to tumor shrinkage and apoptosis. Our second program CTX-471, is an agonistic antibody targeting a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 9 (TNFRSF9), also known as CD-137, a co-stimulatory receptor which is mostly expressed on activated, but not on resting, T-cells and NK cells.

Bosakitug (ATI-045) is an investigational, novel, humanized anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to human TSLP with high affinity and long residence time, blocking its interaction with the receptor complex and disrupting signal transduction. This mechanism prevents a broad range of immune cells targeted by TSLP from releasing proinflammatory cytokines. Bosakitug has the potential to treat a variety of atopic, immunologic and respiratory diseases. We exclusively license global rights (excluding Greater China) to bosakitug from Biosion, Inc. (“Biosion”). In a Phase 2a, single-arm, proof-of-concept trial in 22 U.S.

CTX-471, our CD137 agonistic antibody, targets a key node of the immune system with the goal of becoming a next generation immune-oncology treatment for patients across a variety of cancers who do not have a sustained response to current therapies. During its early clinical development, CTX-471 demonstrated monotherapy activity in the post-PD-1/PD-L1 patient population across three solid tumor indications: melanoma, small cell lung cancer (“SCLC”) and mesothelioma. The Phase 1 program, which included one complete response, also identified a potential biomarker of activity for CTX-471, neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM or CD56). We expect to initiate a Phase 2 basket study of CTX-471 in patients with NCAM+ tumors in mid-2025. 7

however, these drugs only target a small fraction of the kinome, with many clinically relevant kinase targets lacking validated inhibitors. In 2023, the kinase inhibitors market was valued at over $57 billion. We’re focused on novel approaches toward the design and development of kinase inhibitors that target key enzymes involved in chronic inflammation, autoimmune disease, and the regulation of cancer growth, survival and metastasis. We are developing ATI-2138, a highly potent, oral small molecule covalent IL2-inducible tyrosine kinase (“ITK”) and Janus kinase (“JAK”) 3 inhibitor for autoimmune diseases. In addition, we are also progressing to candidate selection a second generation ITK selective inhibitor designed to eliminate crossover on JAK3. ● Identify additional product candidates through our KINect drug discovery platform.

Behind the comparison

Sources and methodology

Price return uses split-adjusted daily closes and excludes dividends. Both stocks start on the first shared trading day within the selected window. Unavailable metrics leave gaps.

Financials use SEC canonical statements available by the displayed cutoff, retaining each company's fiscal period end. Annual and quarterly amounts are shown separately. P/E is unavailable when earnings do not support a positive ratio.

Business overlap uses industry tags from annual filings released in 2025. Each core activity receives full weight; each material activity receives one quarter of that weight. Rarer industries carry more weight. We sum the smaller exposure for each shared activity and divide it by the sum of the larger exposure for every activity in either company. This measures business overlap, rather than price correlation or expected returns.

Search eligibility requires distinct issuers, a shared core category and at least 20% weighted overlap, supported by industry or sector evidence and specific business activities. Broad classifications require stronger overlap within the same sector. Comparisons also need at least 252 shared price observations within two years, recent trading and a common sourced revenue or net-income trend. Missing P/E or gross margin alone does not exclude a comparison. The eligibility snapshot refreshes daily. Related comparisons use a separate, stricter peer rule; their ten-peer discovery limit does not limit search eligibility. Other stock pairs remain available in the comparison tool.
