Executive Summary In the Phase 2 ACcomplisH Trial in children with achondroplasia aged 2-10, once-weekly TransCon CNP demonstrated the potential to meet patient and caregiver needs for a safe, effective, tolerable, and convenient treatment The primary endpoint, annualized height velocity (AHV)
at Week 52, demonstrated superiority of TransCon CNP at 100 g/kg/week compared to placebo (p=0.0218) TransCon CNP was generally well tolerated with low frequency of injection site reactions; all 57 randomized children continued, with
the longest treatment duration beyond two years Data showed robust and consistent results in prespecified analyses across age groups and dose levels, supporting continued development at the selected dose of 100 g/kg/week ANCOVA model.

Safety Results Summary (Double-Blind Period) TransCon CNP was generally well tolerated, with no
discontinuations Frequency of TEAEs in each dose group was similar to placebo No serious AEs (SAEs) related to treatment were reported Two unrelated SAEs were reported (febrile convulsion and viral infection) 95% of
TransCon CNP patients and 93% of placebo patients reported TEAEs 95% of TransCon CNP TEAEs were assessed as mild (Grade 1) in severity Injections were generally well tolerated with low frequency of injection site reactions No
reported events of symptomatic hypotension For body proportionality, induced growth was proportional across all groups at Week 52 Observed safety results support continued development of TransCon CNP for children with achondroplasia TEAE :
