Acumen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Current report

We anticipate that we will no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company” as of December 31, 2026, but that we will remain a “smaller reporting company.” As a smaller reporting company, we continue to be eligible to utilize certain reduced disclosure requirements, and we cannot be certain if our use of such scaled disclosure requirements will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

Current report

As of December 31, 2026 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering), we anticipate that we will cease to qualify as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act. As a result, we will no longer be able to rely on certain exemptions from various reporting and governance requirements that are currently available to us, including the exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Current report

In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We elected to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we were not subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies during the period we were an emerging growth company. As a result, our financial statements while we were an emerging growth company may not be comparable to companies that complied with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Current report

However, we are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act, and we anticipate that we will continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may continue to qualify as a smaller reporting company until the fiscal year following the determination that the worldwide market value of our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is more than $250 million, as measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenues are more than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is more than $700 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

Current report

As a smaller reporting company, we are eligible to take advantage of many of the same scaled disclosures available to emerging growth companies, including scaled executive compensation disclosures and the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We have elected to utilize the accommodations available to smaller reporting companies. Until we cease to be a smaller reporting company, the scaled disclosure in our SEC filings will result in less information about our company being available than for public companies that are not smaller reporting companies.
