" We are also excited by the momentum behind the rest of our pipeline , including JADE301 , our half - life - extended anti - IFN - ẞ monoclonal antibody in development for dermatomyositis , which we are advancing toward Phase 1 initiation ahead of plan . We believe the clinically validated anti- IFN - ß mechanism , together with JADE301's differentiated target product profile , supports our strategy of developing disease - modifying therapies in areas with large unmet need . Alongside the continued clinical progress of JADE201 , these advances reinforce our confidence in the potential of our pipeline . " Pipeline and Corporate Updates JADE101 : anti - APRIL monoclonal antibody for IgA nephropathy ( IgAN ) Announced positive interim data from the Phase 1 JADE101 trial , which were subsequently presented at the 63rd European Renal Association ( ERA ) Congress . Key results included : Mean IgA reductions reached approximately 70 % from baseline after a single 700 mg dose . Duration of IgA reductions supports the potential for an every 12 - week maintenance dosing interval . Greater than 70 % IgA reductions simulated at steady state with a single 350 mg subcutaneous maintenance injection every 12 weeks following one 700 mg induction dose . JADE101 was well - tolerated across all doses .

• Announced dosing began in JUNIPER, a Phase 2 trial of JADE101 in IgAN. A Trial-in-Progress update on JUNIPER was presented during the 63rd ERA Congress. Interim data are expected in 2027. • Jade plans to initiate a registrational Phase 3 clinical trial in the first half of 2027, pending feedback and requirements from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. JADE201: anti-BAFF-R monoclonal antibody for autoimmune diseases • Announced dosing began in the Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating JADE201 in participants with rheumatoid arthritis; interim, biomarker-rich data expected in 2027 are anticipated to inform indication prioritization and a focused clinical development strategy. • JADE201 has broad potential across multiple autoimmune indications supported by B cell and BAFF-R biology. JADE301: anti- IFN-ß monoclonal antibody for dermatomyositis • Jade today unveiled JADE301, a potentially best-in-class monoclonal antibody in development for dermatomyositis (DM), a rare and debilitating autoimmune disease in which excessive IFN-ß activity is believed to be the central driver of muscle and skin pathology. • JADE301 is a selective anti-IFN-ß monoclonal antibody designed for subcutaneous administration at extended dosing intervals. By selectively targeting a key upstream mediator of disease biology, it has the potential to address DM while avoiding broad inhibition of multiple cytokine- signaling pathways. • JADE301 targets a validated mechanism in DM with a differentiated molecular profile, including a YTE half-life–extending modification. This profile has the potential for meaningful efficacy across muscle and skin manifestations, a favorable tolerability profile, and convenient, infrequent subcutaneous dosing. • Approximately 50,000 adults in the U.S. are affected by DM, and up to 80% of patients experience chronic, painful disease. This significant unmet need highlights the importance of more effective, durable, and well-tolerated treatment options. • Jade plans to present preclinical data further characterizing JADE301 at the 2026 European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology Congress, taking place September 30–October 3, 2026, in Vienna, Austria. • A Phase 1 trial in healthy volunteers is now expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, with interim data anticipated in the second half of 2027. Corporate • Completed a $172.5 million public offering, extending expected runway into the fourth quarter of 2028. • Announced Mark Eisner, M.D., M.P.H., was appointed to the Jade Board of Directors. Dr. Eisner has more than 25 years of leadership in clinical development and immunology. Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results • Cash Position: As of June 30, 2026, Jade had cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $461.2 million. Based on its current operating plans, Jade believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments will enable it to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the fourth quarter of 2028.

• Research and Development (R&D) expenses: R&D expenses were $50.1 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026 and included $10.6 million in stock-based compensation expense. R&D expenses were $22.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and included $2.6 million in stock-based compensation expense. R&D expenses increased primarily due to increased costs around chemistry, manufacturing and controls, clinical activity, one-time development milestone payments, and personnel-related costs and related stock-based compensation expense. • General and Administrative (G&A) expenses: G&A expenses were $8.9 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026 and included $3.0 million in stock-based compensation expense. G&A expenses were $5.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and included $1.4 million in stock-based compensation expense. The increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to higher personnel-related costs and related stock-based compensation expense. • Net loss: Net loss totaled $55.8 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $32.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Net loss increased primarily due to higher R&D and G&A expenses, as described above. • Shares Outstanding: As of June 30, 2026, Jade had approximately 83,893,254 shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding, including shares underlying pre-funded warrants and non-voting convertible preferred stock.
