aTyr Pharma, Inc. Provides Regulatory And Clinical Update For Efzofitimod In Pulmonary Sarcoidosis aTyr Pharma, Inc. had announced the path forward for its lead therapeutic candidate, efzofitimod, in pulmonary sarcoidosis, a major form of interstitial lung disease (ILD), following the receipt of the official meeting minutes from a Type C meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The purpose of the meeting was to review the results of the Phase 3 EFZO-FIT study and determine the next steps for the program in pulmonary sarcoidosis. Based on feedback from the FDA, the Company plans to continue the development of efzofitimod in pulmonary sarcoidosis in a new Phase 3 study in patients with chronic, symptomatic pulmonary sarcoidosis with restrictive lung disease utilizing forced vital capacity (FVC) as the primary endpoint of the study and the King’s Sarcoidosis Questionnaire (KSQ)-Lung score as the key secondary endpoint. The Company chose these endpoints based on the FDA’s indication that FVC and KSQ-Lung are direct measures of how patients suffering from pulmonary sarcoidosis function and feel, and the Company concluded FVC to be a more appropriate primary endpoint at this time pending further content validation work for the KSQ-Lung as recommended by the FDA. The Company plans to submit an investigational new drug (IND) application for this study in June 2026. Evidence from EFZO-FIT shows that patients with restrictive lung disease (defined as FVC percent predicted = 80%) experienced a clinically meaningful benefit for FVC when treated with efzofitimod compared to the observed decline in placebo. Furthermore, these more severe patients from EFZO-FIT also experienced positive trends of improvement across multiple patient-reported outcomes, including the KSQ-Lung score. As part of the discussion with the FDA regarding the benefit risk profile for efzofitimod, the Company plans to increase the frequency of dosing of 5.0 mg/kg efzofitimod or placebo from once every four weeks in past trials to once every three weeks in this next trial. Considering the consistent safety profile seen for efzofitimod in trials to date, the Company believes this strategy to increase drug exposure, coupled with additional risk mitigation strategies and safety surveillance, may enhance the effects of efzofitimod without incurring additional safety concerns. The Phase 3 trial is expected to be a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of efzofitimod in patients with moderate to severe pulmonary sarcoidosis. The 54-week study will consist of two parallel cohorts randomized equally to either 5.0 mg/kg efzofitimod or placebo dosed intravenously once every 3 weeks for a total of 17 doses. The study is intended to enroll up to approximately 372 patients with symptomatic pulmonary sarcoidosis with restrictive lung disease who are receiving a stable dose of = 5.0 mg daily oral corticosteroid (OCS) and/or a background immunosuppressant. All background treatment will remain stable throughout the duration of the study. The primary endpoint of the study will be change from baseline in FVC at week 48 and the key secondary endpoint will be change from baseline in the KSQ-Lung score at week 48. Efzofitimod is a novel biologic immunomodulator in clinical development for the treatment of interstitial lung disease (ILD), a group of immune-mediated disorders that can cause inflammation and fibrosis, or scarring, of the lungs. Efzofitimod is a tRNA synthetase derived therapy that selectively modulates activated myeloid cells through neuropilin-2 to resolve inflammation without immune suppression and potentially prevent the progression of fibrosis. Efzofitimod is currently being investigated in the Phase 2 EFZO-CONNECT study in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc, or scleroderma)-related ILD, and aTyr intends to submit an investigational new drug (IND) application in June 2026 for a global Phase 3 study of efzofitimod in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis, a major form of ILD. These forms of ILD have limited therapeutic options and there is a need for safer and more effective, disease-modifying treatments that improve outcomes. Annonce • Mar 14

Atyr Pharma Receives Deficiency Notice for Non-Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules On December 4, 2025, aTyr Pharma, Inc. received a deficiency notice (the “Notice”) from the listing qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days preceding the date of the Notice, the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below $1.00 per share, the minimum closing bid price required by the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until June 2, 2026 (the “Compliance Date”) to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by having shares of the Company’s common stock maintain a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days before the Compliance Date. If the Company’s common stock does not achieve compliance by the Compliance Date, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period to regain compliance. To qualify for the second compliance period, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible for the second compliance period, and the Company does not regain compliance by the Compliance Date, the Staff will provide written notification that the Company’s common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq listing rules. However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice and appeals the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the panel, such appeal would be successful. The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock between now and the Compliance Date and, as appropriate, will evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

aTyr Pharma, Inc. Presents Additional Findings from Phase 3 EFZO-FIT™? Study in Late-Breaking Oral Abstract at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress 2025 aTyr Pharma, Inc. presented additional findings from the Phase 3 EFZO-FIT™? study of efzofitimod in 268 patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis, a major form of interstitial lung disease, in a late-breaking oral abstract presentation by Daniel Culver, D.O., Chair of the Department of Pulmonary Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic and principal investigator of the study, at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress 2025 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Crucially, the improvements observed for the KSQ-Lung, FAS and KSQ-General Health scores were achieved rapidly and sustained robustly throughout the study. Treatment with efzofitimOD was also associated with a trend toward a greater proportion of patients achieving steroid-free status for at least six months. As previously reported in the topline results, the study did not meet its primary endpoint of change from baseline in mean daily oral corticosteroid dose at week 48. However, clinical benefit for 5.0 mg/kg efzofitimods was observed across multiple study efficacy parameters at week 48 compared to placebo, including complete steroid withdrawal and KSQ-Lung score improvement (p=0.0196), improvement in KSQ-Lung score change from baseline (p=0.0479), preservation of forced vital capacity and a well-tolerated safety profile. Since the primary endpoint was not met, all subsequent statistical testing is reported as nominal findings.

Announces Third Positive DSMB Review for Efzofitimod in Phase 3 EFZO-FIT™ Study in Pulmonary Sarcoidosis aTyr Pharma, Inc. announced the outcome of a third, pre-planned interim safety analysis conducted by an independent data and safety monitoring board (DSMB) for the ongoing Phase 3 EFZO-FIT™ study of the Company's lead therapeutic candidate, efzofitimod, in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. TheDSMB recommended that the study continue without any modifications. The trial design incorporates a forced steroid taper. The primary endpoint of the study is steroid reduction. Secondary endpoints include measures of lung function and sarcoidosis symptoms. Efzofitimod is a first-in-class biologic immunomodulator in clinical development for the treatment of interstitial lung disease (ILD), a group of immune-mediated disorders that can cause inflammation and fibrosis, or scarring, of the lungs. EfzofitIMod is a tRNA synthetase derived therapy that selectively modulates activated myeloid cells through neuropilin-2 to resolve inflammation without immune suppression and potentially prevent the progression of fibrosis. aTyr is currently investigating efzofitimOD in the global Phase 3 EFZO- FIT™ study in patients with pulmonary sarcoIDosis, a major form of ILD, and in the Phase 2 EFZO-CONNECT™ study in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc, or scleroderma)-related ILD. These forms of ILD have limited therapeutic options and there is a need for safer and more effective, disease-modifying treatments that improve outcomes. New Risk • Dec 03

New minor risk - Profitability The company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next 3 years. Trailing 12-month net loss: US$58m Forecast net loss in 3 years: US$13m This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m (US$588k revenue). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$13m net loss in 3 years). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (10% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (33% increase in shares outstanding). New Risk • Jul 26
New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 10% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m (US$588k revenue). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (10% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (27% increase in shares outstanding).

New major risk - Revenue size The company makes less than US$1m in revenue. Total revenue: US$353k This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small amount of revenue are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m (US$353k revenue). Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (10% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$94.9m market cap). Breakeven Date Change • Mar 15

aTyr Pharma, Inc. Announces Plans to Initiate an Individual Patient Expanded Access Program for Its Lead Therapeutic Candidate, Efzofitimod, for Patients with Pulmonary Sarcoidosis aTyr Pharma, Inc. announced plans to initiate an Individual Patient Expanded Access Program (EAP) for its lead therapeutic candidate, efzofitimod, for patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. The Individual Patient EAP is intended to allow access for patients who complete the Phase 3 EFZO-FIT™? study and wish to receive treatment with efzofitimOD outside of the clinical trial. EAPs are designed to provide access to potential therapies before they are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). sometimes called "compassionate use," Expanded Access is a pathway for a patient with a serious or immediately life-threatening disease or condition to gain access to an investigational medical product (drug, biologic or medical device) for treatment outside of clinical trials when no satisfactory alternative therapy options are available. By implementing the EAP, the Company does not anticipate any risk to its efzofitimomod drug supply, which it believes to be adequate for its two ongoing clinical trials, or expect a significant impact to its financial resources. The administration of efzofitIMod as part of the Individual Patient EAP will occur independent of the EFZO-FITtm study protocol, and the Company, PIs and patients will remain blinded to the treatment that occurred as part of the EFZO- FIT™? study. Secondary endpoints include measures of lung function and sarcoidosis symptoms. Major Estimate Revision • Nov 16

Atyr Pharma Presents Efzofitimod Data Demonstrating Statistically Significant Improvements in Time to Relapse, Fvc and Patient Reported Outcomes aTyr Pharma, Inc. announced the results of a post-hoc analysis of data from its Phase 1b/2a study of efzofitimod in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. The analysis was presented in a poster at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress 2023, which is taking place September 9 – 13, 2023, in Milan, Italy. The poster is available on the Company’s website. The poster presents findings from a pooled, post-hoc analysis of data from a Phase 1b/2a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose (1.0, 3.0 and 5.0 mg/kg) 24-week study of efzofitimod in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis receiving oral corticosteroid (OCS) dose = 10.0 mg/day. Patients were randomized 1:2 (placebo:efzofitimod) and underwent a forced steroid taper in the first 8 weeks of the study. Dose dependent improvements in steroid burden, FVC and patient reported outcomes (PRO) were noted, though the study was not powered for efficacy. In this pooled analysis, the 3.0 mg/kg (N=8) and 5.0 mg/kg (N=9) efzofitimod arms were considered therapeutic, and pooled. The placebo (N=12) and 1.0 mg/kg (N=8) efzofitimod arm, which was considered subtherapeutic, were pooled. Time to relapse for steroid use (defined as dose of OCS increased after OCS taper to 5.0 mg or less of prednisone or equivalent for at least five consecutive days), rate of change for FVC and proportion of patients with changes that are multiples of the minimally clinically important difference (MCID) in PRO (Kings Sarcoidosis Questionnaire-Lung, or KSQ-L) were compared. Additionally, a responder endpoint was proposed (defined as reduction in OCS from baseline without worsening in FVC or PRO) and an analysis was performed. Key findings include: 7.7% of patients in the therapeutic group relapsed for steroid use compared to 54.4% of patients in the placebo/subtherapeutic group (p=0.017); The rate of change for FVC was significantly improved for the therapeutic group compared to the placebo/subtherapeutic group (p=0.035); 52.9% of patients in the therapeutic group showed an increase =12 for KSQ-L (3 times MCID) compared with 15.0% in the placebo/subtherapeutic group (p=0.032); and 64.7% of patients in the therapeutic group achieved response compared to 20.0% in the placebo/subtherapeutic group (p=0.008). aTyr is currently conducting EFZO-FIT™, a global Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 52-week study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 3.0 mg/kg and 5.0 mg/kg of efzofitimod in 264 patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis.
