The discussion highlighted how the relationship extends beyond a traditional CDMO engagement, supporting Akari\u2019s ability to efficiently advance its ADC programs and strengthen execution across development.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Mr. Gaslightwala also addressed how the partnership is expected to accelerate the development timeline of Akari\u2019s lead program, AKTX-101, with an anticipated IND filing in late 2026. The segment explored how the collaboration enhances Akari\u2019s development capabilities, reduces execution risk, and establishes a clearer path toward first-in-human clinical studies.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In addition, the discussion provided perspective on the broader ADC market, including increasing deal activity and recent large-scale transactions, and how Akari\u2019s strategic partnership positions the Company within this evolving landscape. The segment also touched on Akari\u2019s long-term development strategy and potential partnering opportunities as it continues to advance its platform.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Virtual Investor \u201cWhat This Means\u201d segment featuring Akari Therapeutics is now available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=a5-QnmqLYlUGJFlPrJ4DaQjxWDC5_FMVlK6TukPvG5JgI5JKKsCs5uck1mJvsPCGp_2c1teZX8_l8qFWb1gwW0aOYJAt0iKNdrxyhFfXpVw=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Akari Therapeutics <\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Akari Therapeutics is an oncology biotechnology company developing next-generation antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) with a unique payload, PH1, which targets RNA splicing. Utilizing its innovative ADC discovery platform, the Company has the ability to generate ADC candidates and optimize them based on the desired application to any antigen target of interest. Akari\u2019s lead candidate, AKTX-101, targets the Trop2 receptor on cancer cells with a proprietary linker, enabling it to deliver its novel PH1 payload directly into the tumor with minimal off-target effects. Unlike current ADCs that use microtubule inhibitors and DNA damaging agents as their payloads, PH1 is a novel payload that is a spliceosome modulator designed to disrupt RNA splicing within cancer cells. This splicing modulation has been shown in preclinical animal models to induce cancer cell death while activating both the innate and adaptive immune systems to drive robust and durable activity. In preclinical studies, AKTX-101 has shown to have significant activity and prolonged survival relative to ADCs with traditional payloads. Additionally, AKTX-101 has the potential to be synergistic with checkpoint inhibitors and has demonstrated prolonged survival as both a single agent and in combination with checkpoint inhibitors. The PH1 payload has also been demonstrated to be very active against cancer cells with key oncogenic drivers such as KRAS, BRAF, ARV7, FGFR3 fusions, and others. The Company has initiated IND enabling studies for AKTX-101 with a goal of starting its First-In-Human trial by late 2026\/early 2027. Akari is also developing AKTX-102, an ADC candidate targeting CEACAM5 (Carcinoembryonic Antigen-related Cell Adhesion Molecule-5), a well-validated tumor antigen broadly expressed across multiple solid tumors. AKTX-102 is designed to leverage Akari\u2019s proprietary PH1 spliceosome-modulating payload and a novel antibody construct to enable differentiated tumor cell killing and immune activation.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">For more information about the Company, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=WhALsQE27REn2le9ysq1VBBHEMvsBAUpa3yMfcVhzzRChIBkodq_NkIoz9-RdzNgt6pa5CvagA6VqH4zrvR1TR4_yfDrVbQ9f9ccK0O77Wk=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">www.akaritx.com<\/a> and connect on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=7jDhjAqGadnTZxhDMsHqHMp3gZG2vn5utyl26eve9NZOQu_aLKQ7PFORdc0MRwRYPeGqBrt2RmHsZ7TEjAJKPA==\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=fkBq_bolfLJlncLEwnC1CPNTKS7MZZ4WV8CAAkYDXsYTA2H292f5B_zF13Fi1GqfTeDTATW3XJBgtjam_NU29-b6f6qK8bHLCfMJf1uox-Y=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This press release includes express or implied forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, about the Company that\u00a0involve\u00a0risks and uncertainties relating to future events and the future performance of the Company.
