Mass., August 21, 2025 - Immuneering Corporation (Nasdaq: IMRX), a clinical-stage oncology
company focused on keeping cancer patients alive, today announced that it has entered into a definitive securities purchase agreement
for a private placement of securities to top-tier institutional and other accredited investors, that is expected to result in up front

are excited to announce updated Overall Survival (OS) and Progression-Free Survival (PFS) data from our ongoing Phase 2a trial of atebimetinib
in combination with mGnP in first-line pancreatic cancer patients, planned in the coming weeks. In June, we reported an exceptional 94%
OS observed at 6 months in first-line pancreatic cancer patients treated with atebimetinib in combination with mGnP. To put that in perspective,
in the pivotal study of standard of care GnP, the 6-month OS was only 67%, and dropped rapidly to only 50% by 8.5 months," said
Ben Zeskind, Ph.D., Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Immuneering. "Our exceptional
6-month overall survival data in first-line pancreatic cancer patients generated strong interest from leading pharmaceutical companies
and top-tier investors, including the visionary investors participating in today's financing. We are developing an entirely new
category of cancer medicines, Deep Cyclic Inhibitors, which we believe represent an important new way to keep cancer patients alive and
help them thrive. The proceeds from this financing will help support our ongoing efforts to bring atebimetinib, our Deep Cyclic Inhibitor
of MEK in the MAPK pathway, to as many cancer patients as possible as quickly as possible."
the securities purchase agreement, the investors agreed to purchase: (i) an aggregate of 6,329,113 unregistered shares of the company's
Class A common stock at a purchase price of $3.95 per share (or, for certain investors in lieu of Class A common stock, pre-funded warrants
to purchase shares of Class A common stock), and (ii) accompanying purchase warrants to purchase
an aggregate of 2,848,096 shares of Class A common stock, with each such warrant representing the right to purchase one share of the
company's Class A common stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share. The pre-funded warrants were issued for a purchase price
equating to $3.949 per pre-funded warrant share (which was the per share purchase price for the Class A common stock less the $0.001
per share unfunded exercise price for each pre-funded warrant). The $3.95 per share purchase price for the Company's Class A common
stock represents a premium of approximately 15% as compared to the Company's last reported closing price on August 20, 2025. The
investors will be granted registration rights as part of the transaction. The purchase warrants will be exercisable for a period of five
years following the date on which the Class A common stock issued and issuable in the transaction are registered for resale.
