Akili, Inc. Receives A Letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC On April 23, 2024, Akili, Inc. (the ‘Company’) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the ‘Nasdaq Staff’) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (‘Nasdaq’) notifying the Company that it has been granted an additional 180-day compliance period, or until October 21, 2024 (the ‘Extension Notice’), to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum closing bid price rule required by the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the ‘Bid Price Requirement’). Nasdaq's determination follows the Company's recent request for such additional compliance period and is based, in part, on the Company's written notice to the Nasdaq Staff of its intention to cure the deficiency during the additional compliance period and if necessary, by effecting a reverse stock split. Previously, on October 24, 2023, the Company received a written notification from Nasdaq notifying the Company that the bid price of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per shares (‘common stock’) had closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days and that the Company therefore was not in compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. The Extension Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market subject to the listing rules. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days before October 21, 2024. If the Company does not regain compliance during the additional compliance period, then Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist the Company's common stock, at which point the Company would have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in regaining compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules or in maintaining its listing of common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and will evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of American stocks, typically moving 32% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility 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. It may also indicate 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (32% average weekly change). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$47m net loss in 3 years). Revenue is less than US$5m (US$1.0m revenue).

Akili, Inc. Receives Authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Akili, Inc. announced that it has received authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to expand the label for EndeavorRx(R) from 8 to 12 year-old patients with primarily inattentive or combined-type ADHD who have a demonstrated attention issue to include older children aged 13 - 17. This increased age range is expected to more than double the number of pediatric patients with ADHD who are now eligible for EndeavorRx -- the only FDA-authorized, game-based digital therapeutic -- with a prescription from a healthcare provider. (Akili also offers a non-prescription product for adults with ADHD, using the same technology, EndeavorOTC(TM). The clinical study on which the FDA's label expansion authorization for EndeavorRx is based involved 162 adolescents with a verified diagnosis of inattentive and combined-type ADHD who all received EndeavorRx for 4 weeks and subsequently demonstrated significant improvements in TOVA-measured attentional control. EndeavorOTC is available under the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's current Enforcement Policy for Digital Health Devices for Treating Psychiatric Disorders During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Public Health Emergency. EndeavorOTC has not been cleared or authorized by the U.S. Food. Food and Drug Administration for any indications. The most common side effect observed in children in EndeavorRx's clinical trials was a feeling of frustration, as the game can be quite challenging at times. Akili's approach of leveraging technologies designed to directly target the brain establishes a new category of medicine -- medicine that is validated through clinical trials like a drug or medical device, but experienced like entertainment. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements in this press release related to: expectations regarding the number of pediatric patients withAD who can now access EndeavorRx and ability to expand the use of EndeavorRx in those patients in connection with the label expansion for EndeavorRx to include adolescents ages 13 to 17 with ADHD; that the adoption and efficacy of Endeavor Rx in patients aged 13 to 17 with ADHD will be similar to younger patients; and that the results of clinical studies are predictive of future clinical trials or results. Any forward-looking statements in this press release are based on management's current expectations and beliefs and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and important factors that may cause actual events or results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements contained in this press release, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties related to: ability to continue to commercialize EndeavorRx in patients aged 13 to17; ability to obtain regulatory clearance from FDA to convert products to over-the-counter-labeling; ability to successfully create, and navigate, a new category of medicine and to achieve broad adoption of digital therapeutics among customers and healthcare providers; ability to continue to advance clinical development pipeline; ability to defend intellectual property and satisfy various FDA and other regulatory requirements in and outside of the United States; the risk of adverse macroeconomic or political changes and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive industry in which company operate; the timing and results expected from and partners' clinical trials and its reliance on third parties for certain aspects of business; and other risks identified in current filings and any subsequent filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

However, if it appears to the Nasdaq Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period, including any extensions that may be granted, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its 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. There can be no assurance that the Company will be eligible for the additional 180 calendar day compliance period, if applicable, or that the Nasdaq Staff would grant the Company’s request for continued listing subsequent to any delisting notification. In addition, there can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal a 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 and will evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule. 공시 • Oct 13
Akili, Inc. Releases Results from A New Study Examining the Way in Which Adhd Impacting the U.S. Workforce Akili, Inc. released results from a new study examining the ways in which ADHD impacts the U.S. workforce. Akili engaged Wakefield Research to survey 500 employees with ADHD to better understand the experience of working with ADHD, as well as 500 managers to explore how prepared workplaces are to support employees with ADHD. Employees want their managers to know they have ADHD: Most employees (85%) have disclosed their ADHD diagnosis to a supervisor, and the majority of them (79%) are happy with their choice. Employees are looking for support and resources from their managers: In sharing their diagnosis, employees are looking for acceptance of how their work style may be different from that of their colleagues (55); better awareness of how their supervisor can support them (54); and discussions about where and why they struggle with some tasks (44%). They also want to better understand the medical benefits specific to their condition (30%) and the workplace resources (24%) that are available to them. Understanding is the most important benefit: more than 9 out of 10 employees (93%) said that having a supervisor who knows how to support and work with them is more valuable than any other office benefit or perk. EndeavorOTC impacts an estimated 11 million adults in the U.S., meaning that it's inevitably prevalent across the workforce. "97% of the study's employee respondents felt that they could accomplish more at work if they could better manage their symptoms. This overwhelming majority makes it clear that the company need to rethink treatment, resources, and understanding across the board." Earlier this year, Akili released EndeavorOTC, a game-based ADHD treatment for adults, built with technology from the world's first FDA-authorized video game treatment for pediatric patients with ADHD, EndeavorRx. EndeavorOTC has been clinically proven to improve attention and focus in adults with ADHD. The treatment is available on Android's Google Play™? and Apple's iOS App Store®?, providing an accessible treatment option for American adults living with ADHD. All participants provided written informed consent. Participants were compensated at fair market value. All data collected were de-identified, and only aggregate data were analyzed and presented. Akili's suite of cognitive treatment products for ADHD includes EndeavorOTC and EndeavorRx. endeavorOTC is a digital therapeutic indicated to improve attention function, ADHD symptoms and quality of life in adults 18 years of age and older with primarily inattentive or combined-type ADHD.

Akili Releases EndeavorOTC on Android Devices, Expanding Treatment Access for Millions of Adults with Adhd Akili, Inc. announced that EndeavorOTC, the mobile video game treatment clinically proven to improve attention and focus in adults with ADHD, is now available on Google Play for popular Android devices, including most Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models. Out of the estimated 11 million adults living with ADHD in the United States, approximately 40% are Android users so the company believes this release represents a crucial step in offering an accessible non-drug treatment option to adults with ADHD, particularly amid the continued stimulant medication shortage and ongoing mental health crisis. EndeavorOTC is built on the same technology as Akili’s EndeavorRx®, the world’s first and only FDA-authorized video game treatment, for children 8-12 years old with ADHD. In a recent clinical trial, EndeavorOTC significantly improved focus, attention, and overall quality of life in adults struggling with ADHD symptoms. On average, participants’ ability to focus improved by 85%; over one-third of participants no longer exhibited an attention deficit following treatment, and 73% of participants reported quality of life improvements. The release of EndeavorOTC comes at a time when the ADHD community faces continued challenges accessing care. Fueled by manufacturing issues and record-high prescription rates, the stimulant shortage continues and now affects multiple ADHD drugs. Last month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) issued a joint statement on the ongoing nationwide shortage of stimulants for the treatment of conditions such as ADHD, noting the FDA’s support of non-drug treatment options including Akili’s EndeavorRx product. The Android release follows EndeavorOTC’s release on the Apple iOS App Store® in June 2023. EndeavorOTC now features Akili’s recently released Focus Score, a new metric for users. Focus Score provides a measurement of how quickly and accurately patients can complete a task despite distractions during gameplay, assisting with setting benchmarks and quantifying progress. A patient’s personalized baseline Focus Score is calculated during treatment onboarding, along with a target Focus Score that serves as a treatment goal. In Akili’s recent adult ADHD clinical trial, Focus Score improvements were directly related to improvement in ADHD-related symptoms and overall quality of life—things like being able to complete tasks or keep track of important items like wallet and keys.

Nearly two-thirds (66%) of adolescents met the prespecified definition of clinical response on the TOVA-ACS. The magnitude of improvement in attention function in adolescents was nearly three times larger than what was observed in the STARS-ADHD pivotal trial in 8-12 year olds that served as the basis for EndeavorRx's FDA authorization. The mean change from baseline on the TOVA-AC S in adolescents was 2.6 (SD=3.8; P < 0.0001) as compared to 0.93 (p<0.001) in 8-12 year olds. EndeavorRx is currently authorized for use in 8-12 year olds with ADHD. Based on these new data, Akili has filed with FDA to expand its current EndeavorRx label to include 13-17 year olds.

Akili, Inc. announces Pivotal Trial of Endeavorrx in Adolescents with Adhd Shows Robust Improvements in Attention and Broader Clinical Outcomes Akili, Inc. announced topline results of the STARS-ADHD-Adolescents label expansion study evaluating the efficacy and safety of EndeavorRx? (AKL-T01) in adolescents ages 13-17 with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The pivotal study achieved its predefined primary efficacy outcome, showing statistically significant improvement in attentional functioning after four weeks of treatment. Consistent improvements were also seen in a range of secondary measures of ADHD-related inattention symptoms and functioning. EndeavorRx treatment was generally well-tolerated, with no serious device-related adverse events reported. The multi-center open-label study enrolled 162 adolescents ages 13-17 with inattentive or combined-type ADHD. In the study, EndeavorRx demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA®)-Attention Comparison Score (ACS) of sustained and selective attention from baseline after one month of treatment (p<0.0001), the study’s predefined primary efficacy outcome. The change from baseline on the TOVA ACS was nearly three times as large as the changes seen in STARS-ADHD, a large randomized controlled trialof children with ADHD ages 8-12 that served as the basis for EndeavorRx’s U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorization in that age group. In the STARS-ADHD-Adolescents study, nearly two-thirds (66%) of adolescents met the prespecified definition of clinical response on the TOVA-ACS and nearly a quarter (24.7%) moved into the non-clinical, or normative, range. TOVA is a computerized test cleared by FDA to assess attention deficits and evaluate the effects of interventions in ADHD. Adolescents using EndeavorRx also saw significant improvement in ADHD symptoms, as measured by the Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder Rating Scale-5 (ADHD-RS) inattention subscale and total scale scores. ADHD-RS is a clinician-administered questionnaire based on information collected from the child's caregiver. Following treatment, participants in the study showed significant improvement on both the inattention subscale and total score of the ADHD-RS (p<0.0001 for both). A prespecified responder analysis also showed that 27.1% of all participants in the study demonstrated at least a 30% reduction in total scores on the ADHD-RS, a finding similar to the STARS-ADHD trial in children with ADHD (24%). Statistically significant improvements were also observed for parent and child ratings of attention improvement, as well as parent ratings of function across a number of domains, including peer relationships, academic functioning, behavioral functioning, homework functioning, and self-esteem. Overall, 4 (2.5%) participants experienced a treatment-emergent adverse device event (3 decreased frustration tolerance, 1 headache; all mild or moderate). There were no serious adverse device events. 공시 • Dec 02
