Previous wording
In the second quarter of 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, cleared our Investigational New Drug, or IND, application for VY1706, enabling initiation of a clinical trial of VY1706 in adults with early AD who have evidence of tau pathology in the brain as confirmed by positron emission tomography, or PET. In July 2026, Health Canada cleared our Clinical Trial Application, or CTA, enabling the inclusion of Canadian clinical trial sites in the trial. The multi-site, open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial is expected to enroll up to 18 patients across three cohorts, with the highest dose not exceeding 5 x 1013 vector genomes per kilogram. VY1706 will be administered in the trial as a one-time IV dose. The primary endpoint of the trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of VY1706. Secondary endpoints are designed to assess VY1706’s effect on tau biology, including changes in cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF, biomarkers of tau and changes in tau pathology measured by tau PET imaging. Dosing is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026. We expect to provide three critical data updates during the trial, beginning with initial acute safety data, which we anticipate announcing in early 2027, pending enrollment progress and timing. The second and third anticipated data updates include initial capsid platform validation, which we define as gene expression as measured by CSF tau, and initial asset proof-of-concept, which we define as changes in tau pathology measured by PET imaging data. We anticipate the potential to observe initial CSF tau biomarker-based data beginning in the second half of 2027, pending enrollment progress and timing.

Patient screening is underway in the United States and patient dosing is expected to begin in the next few months, subject to the progress and timing of enrollment. We expect to provide three critical data updates during the trial, beginning with initial acute safety data. We anticipate announcing this update in the first quarter of 2027, subject to the progress and timing of the enrollment and dosing of patients. The second anticipated data update includes initial capsid platform validation, which we define as gene expression as measured by CSF tau. We currently anticipate the potential to observe CSF tau biomarker-based data approximately one year after dosing begins. The third anticipated data update includes initial asset proof-of-concept, which we define as changes in tau pathology measured by PET imaging data.

VY7523 is an IV-administered, recombinant, humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody developed to inhibit the spread of extracellular tau, which is closely correlated with disease progression and cognitive decline in AD. VY7523 targets an epitope in the C-terminal region and is specific for pathological tau. The murine version of VY7523 reduced tau spread by approximately 70% in preclinical studies. VY7523 demonstrated an acceptable safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity profile as well as expected pharmacokinetic results in a Phase 1, single ascending dose clinical trial in healthy volunteers. In February 2025, we initiated a Phase 1 multiple ascending dose, or MAD, clinical trial of VY7523 in early AD patients. Enrollment in this MAD clinical trial was completed in the fourth quarter of 2025, and we expect initial tau PET imaging efficacy data in the fourth quarter of 2026.

In addition to our wholly-owned pipeline, we are advancing three programs with collaboration partners for which we retain options to participate in future development and commercialization. Two of these programs are in collaboration with Neurocrine: a frataxin (FXN) gene therapy program for FA, or the FA Program, and a glucosylceramidase beta 1 gene therapy program that will focus on Gaucher disease and PD, or the GBA1 Program. Neurocrine has stated that, pending successful FDA IND clearance, it intends to initiate a clinical trial with NBIB-’223 for the treatment of FA in the second half of 2026. In preclinical studies, IV-administered NBIB-’223 resulted in protein expression in the brain and heart, and GLP toxicology studies for NBIB-’223 are now complete. In May 2026, FDA granted orphan drug designation to NBIB-’223 for the treatment of FA. Neurocrine has informed us that it continues to progress the GBA1 Program in addition to three gene therapy programs for which we do not have opt-in rights. We maintain options to co-develop and co-commercialize the FA Program, under which profits and losses of the program would be allocated 60% to Neurocrine and 40% to us, and the GBA1 Program, under which profits and losses of the program would be allocated 50% to Neurocrine and 50% to us, in each case in the U.S.

We have leveraged our knowledge of BBB receptors, discovered using TRACER, to develop a second delivery platform called Voyager NeuroShuttle TM. Voyager NeuroShuttle is a non-viral delivery platform leveraging novel receptor-binding molecules to transport multiple modalities of neurotherapeutics across the BBB. The first NeuroShuttle within the platform leverages the ALPL receptor. During the third quarter of 2025, we shared the results of initial murine proof-of-concept studies of ALPL-VYGR-NeuroShuttle demonstrating in the study sustained brain expression over three weeks, compared to less than one week for transferrin receptor, or TfR, shuttles, with no impact on circulating reticulocytes or downstream measurements of anemia. In addition to the initial murine proof-of-concept data provided for the ALPL-VYGR-NeuroShuttle, a proof-of-concept study using anti-amyloid antibodies demonstrated that the ALPL-VYGR-NeuroShuttle showed similar target engagement to a TfR shuttle. We have initiated a discovery program using ALPL-VYGR-NeuroShuttle to target an undisclosed neurological disease.

Other income, net was $4.3 million and $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The $2.7 million decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest earned on our marketable securities as a result of lower average marketable securities balances during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Current wording
Other income, net was $6.0 million and $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:
Previous wording
Net cash used in operating activities was $59.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $71.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities is primarily attributed to a lower net loss. Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026, was primarily due to our net loss of $52.4 million, combined with changes in our working capital accounts, including decreases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and operating lease liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Current wording
Net cash used in operating activities was $78.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $102.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to a lower net loss. Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, was primarily attributable to our net loss of $77.1 million and decreases in operating lease liabilities, accrued expenses, accounts payable and deferred revenue, partially offset by non-cash adjustments, primarily stock-based compensation, non-cash lease expense and depreciation.
Previous wording
Net cash provided by investing activities was $23.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $43.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities which was $94.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, partially offset by decreases in purchases of marketable securities, which was $70.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Current wording
Net cash provided by investing activities was $52.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $78.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities which were $131.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $201.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, partially offset by a decrease in purchases of marketable securities, which were $78.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $121.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Previous wording
Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to $5.7 million in net proceeds during the six months ended June 30, 2026, from the issuance of common stock from the ATM Facility.
Current wording
Net cash provided by financing activities was $9.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $0.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to $8.7 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the ATM Facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Previous wording
Our expenses decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2025, as a result of continued portfolio prioritization and alignment of operating expenditures with our current capital resources. We expect we will continue to incur research and development expenses as we continue our research and development activities, conduct clinical trials, including completing the Phase 1 MAD clinical trial for VY7523 and initiating the clinical trial for VY1706, and seek marketing approval of our product candidates, and as we continue to enter into or conduct activities in connection with our collaboration agreements. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant 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 continue to incur costs associated with operating as a public company, including executing financial statement controls, satisfying regulatory and quality standards, fulfilling healthcare compliance requirements, and maintaining product, clinical trial and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage. We also anticipate the cost of goods and services and the levels of compensation paid to employees will increase due to inflationary conditions existing in the general economy. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. If we are unable to raise capital or enter into business development transactions when needed or on acceptable terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or any future commercialization efforts.
