As of December 31, 2023, Coya Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) had cash and cash equivalents (unaudited) of $32.6 million. In January 2024, the Company received $7.5 million from Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd. (“Dr. Reddy’s”), as required under the terms of the Development and License Agreement entered into with Dr. Reddy’s on December 5, 2023, which was previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 6, 2023 (the “Form 8-K”).

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023, pro forma for receipt of the $7.5 million from Dr. Reddy’s (as if such amount was received on December 31, 2023) would be $40.1 million.

In addition, as previously disclosed in the Form 8-K, (i) upon the first Food and Drug Administration (FDA) acceptance of an investigational new drug (IND) application for COYA 302 for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Dr. Reddy’s will pay the Company an additional $4.2 million, and (ii) upon dosing of the first patient in the first Phase 2 trial of COYA 302 for the treatment of ALS in the United States, Dr. Reddy’s will pay the Company an additional $4.2 million.

The Company anticipates that the IND filing will be made in the first half of 2024 and the dosing of the first patient in the first Phase 2 trial of COYA 302 for the treatment of ALS in the United States will occur in the second half of 2024.

The Company expects its cash and cash equivalents described above will be sufficient to meet its operating needs into 2026.
