Item 8.01 Other Events.

On July 30, 2025, the Company announced full data from the prespecified AD biomarker analysis in its BROADWAY clinical trial. The BROADWAY trial was primarily designed as a pivotal Phase 3 trial to evaluate low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (“LDL-C”) lowering efficacy of obicetrapib, a potent CETP inhibitor, in adult patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (“ASCVD”) and/or heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (“HeFH”), whose LDL-C is not adequately controlled, despite being on maximally tolerated lipid-lowering therapy. In connection with this trial, a prespecified analysis evaluated the effect of obicetrapib on plasma biomarkers of AD in 1,727 patients with established ASCVD and/or HeFH whose apolipoprotein E (“ApoE”) status was able to be determined based on phenotypic testing, including 367 ApoE4 carriers. Safety in this population was not evaluated independently from the overall BROADWAY study population, where obicetrapib was observed to be well-tolerated, with safety results comparable to placebo. Because this analysis was based on a subset of patients from BROADWAY (which was designed to evaluate LDL-C reductions in an ASCVD and/or HeFH population), it was not controlled for baseline differences between the treatment and placebo population.

ApoE4is both a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and AD where ApoE4 carriers generally exhibit higher levels of LDL-C, Lp(a), and reduced cholesterol transport and clearance. In this analysis, treatment with obicetrapib 10 mg daily for 12 months resulted in statistically significant lower absolute changes in plasma p-tau217, a key biomarker of AD pathology, in both the analysis set of patients with baseline and end of study datapoints above the lower limit of quantification (p=0.0019; n=1,515) and in ApoE4 carriers (p=0.0215; n=367). Favorable trends were also observed across additional biomarkers, including neurofilament light chain (“NFL”), glial fibrillary acidic protein (“GFAP”), p-tau181, and the Aβ42/40 ratio, in the full analysis set and in ApoE4 carriers, with the greatest effect generally observed in carriers of two E4 proteins.

Percent change in p-tau217 progression by subgroup versus placebo

Mean % Change	-2.99%	-5.74%	-5.40%	-8.39%	-20.48%
p-value	0.019	0.022	0.06	0.039	0.010

p-tau217 is one of the first biomarkers to provide evidence of neurodegeneration and can begin to increase more than 20 years before onset of cognitive impairment. In addition, p-tau217 has been reported to have significantly higher accuracy in assessing AD than alternative plasma- or MRI-based analyses, and its performance has been reported to not significantly differ from key CSF- or PET-based measures. NFL and GFAP biomarkers are also considered predictive of neurodegeneration, and elevated levels in the blood have been associated with AD progression and pathology. These results build on the Company’s Phase 2a proof of concept trial and preclinical data, which showed reductions in brain cholesterol metabolites and stabilization of AD biomarkers in ApoE4 carriers.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the Company’s business and strategic plans; the therapeutic potential of obicetrapib including, without limitation, its potential to reduce neurodegenerative and heart disease risks; the potential for obicetrapib to favorably impact AD biomarkers and the potential benefits of doing so; the Company’s clinical trials and the timing relating thereto; and the timing and forums for announcing data. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and on the current expectations of the Company’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as and must not be relied on as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and may differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; risks related to the approval of obicetrapib and the timing of expected regulatory and business milestones; whether results of the AD analysis and other early studies will be indicative of the results of later clinical trials; whether projections regarding clinical outcomes will reflect actual results in future clinical trials or clinical use of obicetrapib, if approved; the potential for varying interpretations of the results of the AD analysis; the impact of competitive product candidates; and those risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and other public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available at www.sec.gov. Additional risks related to the Company’s business include, but are not limited to: uncertainty regarding outcomes of the Company’s ongoing clinical trials, particularly as they relate to regulatory review and potential approval for obicetrapib; risks associated with the Company’s efforts to commercialize obicetrapib; the Company’s ability to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements on favorable terms, if at all; the impact of competing product candidates on the Company’s business and prospects; intellectual property related claims; the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and ability to continue to source the raw materials for obicetrapib and manufacture final product. If any of these risks materialize or the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company does not presently know or that the Company currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments may cause the Company’s assessments to change. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s assessment as of any date subsequent to the date of this communication. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates undertakes any obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law.
