Aeglea-Spyre Transaction highlights
Structure: The acquisition of Spyre was structured as a stock-for-stock transaction whereby all of Spyre's outstanding equity interests were exchanged for a combination of shares of Aeglea common stock and a newly created non-voting Series A
convertible preferred stock. Financing: Concurrent with the acquisition of Spyre, Aeglea closed a $210 million private placement with a group of institutional accredited investors led by Fairmount Funds and joined by a robust syndicate of
dedicated biotechnology investors as well as additional undisclosed institutional investors. Primary use of proceeds: The proceeds from the private placement are expected to be primarily used to advance the Spyre pipeline and deliver the
following anticipated milestones: two INDs for SPY001 and SPY002 in 2024, HV PK/PD data for SPY001 in 2H2024, and HV PK/PD data for SPY002 in 1H2025. Proceeds are expected to provide cash runway into 2026.

well as a basic immunophenotyping T-cell panel. Both vedolizumab and SPY001 exhibited binding on the memory T-helper CD3+CD4+CD45RO+ population. EC50 values for both antibodies corresponded well with what has previously been reported for binding to
the same population: EC50 ~ 0.3 nM.1
SPY001 has exhibited a 17-day
half-life in NHPs, nearly 2x the half-life of vedolizumab observed in multiple studies -elimination half-life of SPY001 observed at ~17 days, 70% longer than observed for vedolizumab. Spyre vedolizumab data matches half-life
observed in Takeda studies.1,2 NOTE: 1BLA 125476, Vedolizumab. 2Crawford, D. and Friedman, M. (2019). In all cases, PK data was normalized to Cmax and fit to a biphasic exponential decay curve from which the -elimination half-life was
