Cynata Therapeutics Limited ABN – 98 104 037 372 Level 3, 100 Cubitt Street Cremorne VIC 3121 Australia T: +613 7067 6940 E: info@cynata.com www.cynata.com cytl0001_2100021_218.docx In accordance with ASX rules, the “Estimated quarters of funding available” reported in item 8.5 of the Appendix 4C is calculated by dividing the Company’s cash balance at the end of the quarter by the net operating cash outflows in the previous quarter, and the result of this calculation is 0.13 quarters of funding available. However, as outlined above, the Company has now substantially reduced its expenditure, and a number of one-off payments were incurred during the quarter, which means that the net operating cash outflows in the previous quarter are not indicative of future cash outflows. As a result of the cost -cutting measures outlined above, as well as the expected funds raised from the entitlement offer, the Company anticipates that its cash runway will extend into the 2028 financial year. Outlook The Company’s core asset is currently the Cymerus™ platform, which offers a genuinely differentiated approach to manufacturing mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) at commercial scale from a single, consistent cell source. Subsequent to the announcement of the Phase 2 acute graft versus host disease (aGvHD) Trial primary evaluation results (17 June 2026) and CYP-004 osteoarthritis trial results (19 June 2026), the Board is now focused on evaluating the future development pathways available for this technology, and the broader strategic options open to the Company. This includes seeking opportunities to realise value from the Cymerus™ technology and obtain rights to new assets. -ENDS- Authorised for release by the Board of Directors CONTACT: investors@cynata.com About Cynata Therapeutics (ASX: CYP) Cynata Therapeutics Limited’s (ASX: CYP) core asset is currently the Cymerus ™ platform, which offers a genuinely differentiated approach to manufacturing mesenchymal stromal cells at commercial scale from a single, consistent cell source.
