Cue Biopharma Inc Presents New in Vitro Data for Cue-401 At World Immune Regulation Meeting Cue Biopharma, Inc. announced that it will deliver a poster presentation on the company’s lead asset, CUE-401, at the World Immune Regulation Meeting (WIRM) being held March 11-14, 2026 in Davos, Switzerland. The presentation will include new in vitro data that demonstrate the therapeutic potential of CUE-401 to restore immune balance for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Natasha M. Girgis, Director, Translational Pharmacology will discuss new in vitro data that support CUE-401’s ability to directly inhibit proinflammatory immune cells via the direct effects of TGF-beta (TGF-ß). TGF-ß is a potent immunoregulatory cytokine that maintains peripheral tolerance by inhibiting diverse types of inflammatory immune cells and proinflammatory pathways, making it an attractive therapeutic target for treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. In addition to expanding Tregs, we show that CUE-401 controlled proinflammatory pathways via direct effects of TGF-ß on multiple cell types that contribute to autoimmune disease. In CD4+ T effector memory cells, CUE-401 showed TGF-ß-dependent suppression of proinflammatory cytokines, including Th1, Th2, and Th17 responses. In addition, the TGF-ß in CUE-401 prevented activated B cells from differentiating into plasma cells and limited antibody production. In natural killer (NK) cells, TGF-ß in CUE-401 counterbalanced the activating effects of interleukin-2 (IL-2), preventing proliferation and upregulation of proinflammatory cytokine production. CUE-401 is a novel bifunctional therapeutic that incorporates an innovative TGF-beta breathing-mask moiety with Cue Biopharma’s clinically validated interleukin-2 (IL-2) mutein in a single injectable biologic. The design of CUE 401 was inspired by Nobel Prize winning science in 2025 for the role of IL-2 and TGF-beta as essential components in helping establish immune tolerance by regulating FOXP3 signaling. CUE-401 is designed to promote immune regulation and tolerance by three complementary mechanisms: 1. Direct regulation of proinflammatory mechanisms by TGF-beta, 2. Expansion of existing Tregs by IL-2, and 3. Conversion of FOXP3-conventional CD4+ T cells into FOXP3+ induced Tregs through the coordinated provision of TGF-beta and IL-2 signals, both of which are required for the de novo induction of FOXP3 expression.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 10% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (19% average weekly change). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 10% per year for the foreseeable future. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (44% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$54m net loss in 3 years). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$29.2m market cap). Recent Insider Transactions • Jan 04
Independent Chairman of the Board recently bought US$100k worth of stock On the 30th of December, Pasha Sarraf bought around 324k shares on-market at roughly US$0.31 per share.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 44% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (44% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$23m net loss in 3 years). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$27.9m market cap). New Risk • Dec 18
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 11% a week.

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 Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$30m free cash flow). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$23m net loss in 3 years).

Cue Biopharma Announces Initiation of Investigator Sponsored Trial of Cue-102 in Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme Cue Biopharma, Inc. announced the initiation of an investigator sponsored trial (IST) in rGBM at the DFCI with the first patient in the trial having been dosed with CUE-102. The trial (NCT06917885) is a Phase 1b, open-label study of adjuvant CUE-102, the Company's drug product candidate targeting Wilms' Tumor 1 protein (WT1) expressing cancers. The principal investigator of the Phase 1b trial, David A. Reardon, MD, is the Clinical Director of the Center for Neuro-Oncology at DFCI and a leader in the field of immunotherapy for the treatment of brain cancer. These singular biologics are anticipated to selectively target, activate and expand a robust repertoire of tumor-specific T cells directly in the patient's body. The binding affinity of IL-2 for its receptor has been successfully attenuated to achieve preferential selective activation of tumor-specific effector T cells while reducing the potential for effects on regulatory T cells (Tregs) or broad systemic activation, potentially mitigating the dose-limiting toxicities associated with current IL-2-based therapies.

Cue Biopharma, Inc. Receives FDA Feedback on Pre-IND Briefing Document Reinforcing it's Intention to Advance IND Submission for CUE-401 to Address Unmet Need in the Treatment of Autoimmune Disease Cue Biopharma, Inc. announced it has received Pre-Investigational New Drug (Pre-IND) feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA reviewed the first-in-human trial design, including the Company's plan for dose escalation, proposed populations and safety monitoring plan. On the basis of the FDA feedback, the Company, intends to file an IND pending completion of final IND enabling studies. CUE-401 is the Company's lead autoimmune asset, a first-in-class bispecific fusion protein/molecule designed to induce and expand regulatory T cells (Tregs) in vivo through the co-activity of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-b) and a modified variant of interleukin 2 (IL-2). These findings suggest that CUE-401 acts by establishing a bispecific positive feedback loop' that not only increases nonspecific Treg populations, but critically, reduces and converts specific autoreactive T cells into transdifferentiated iTregs that are specific for the disease-causing autoantigens.

Survival metrics continue to mature: 12-month OS of 91.3% compared to 51% with pembrolizumab alone in the historical KEYNOTE-048 trial. mOS of 21.8 months compared to 12.3 months in the historical KEYNOTE-048 trial. ORR of 50% in patients with PD-L1 CPS 1-19. Key data highlights from the CUE-101 expansion portion of the Phase 1b trial evaluating CUE-101 at the RP2D as monotherapy with 20 second line and beyond (2L+) patients (majority third line and beyond (3L+) (data cutoff of September 11, 2024) include: mOS of 20.8 months, notably longer than the historical mOS of 7.5 and 8.4 months reported in historical third-party 2L R/M HNSCC trials: CheckMate 141 and KEYNOTE-040, respectively. CUE-101 has been well tolerated as a monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab. No significant safety concerns have emerged in either the monotherapy or combination trials, and adverse events have been readily managed with appropriate medical care. Key data highlights from the completed CUE-102 dose escalation and ongoing dose expansion parts of the Phase 1 clinical trial (data cutoff of October 29, 2024) include: 67% overall DCR in late-stage pancreatic cancer patients treated with CUE-102 at 2 and 4mg/kg, including an unconfirmed PR with a 40% decrease in tumor burden. Evidence of selective stimulation and expansion of WT1-specific CD8 T cells, with no apparent increase in total numbers of non-specific CD8 T cells. No dose-limiting toxicities occurred in patients treated during the dose escalation phase at doses ranging between 1-8mg/kg of CUE-102. The CUE-100 series consists of Fc-fusion biologics that present two signals to T cells. Signal #1 is a tumor-specific peptide linked to a major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) to enable selectivity and specificity. Signal #2 is a rationally engineered interleukin 2 (IL-2) molecule to trigger T cell activation. These singular biologics are anticipated to selectively target, activate and expand a robust repertoire of tumor-specific T cells directly in the patient’s body. The binding affinity of IL-2 for its receptor has been deliberately attenuated to achieve preferential selective activation of tumor-specific effector T cells while reducing the potential for effects on regulatory T cells (Tregs) or broad systemic activation, potentially mitigating the dose-limiting toxicities associated with current IL-2-based therapies. CUE-101 is Cue Biopharma’s lead clinical drug candidate from the CUE-100 series of interleukin 2 (IL-2)-based biologics. It is designed to activate and expand HPV16 tumor-specific T cells by presenting the HPV E7 protein to the HPV-specific T cell receptor. CUE-101 is currently being evaluated in a fully enrolled Phase 1 open-label, dose escalation and expansion study, for the treatment of HPV16+ driven recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in second line (2L) and beyond patients as a monotherapy, and as a first line (1L) therapy in combination with pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA). CUE-102 is Cue Biopharma’s second clinical drug candidate from the CUE-100 series of interleukin 2 (IL-2)-based biologics. It is designed to activate and expand Wilms’ Tumor 1 (WT1)-specific T cells by presenting the WT1 peptide to the WT1- specific T cell receptor. WT1 is a well-recognized onco-fetal protein known to be over-expressed in a number of cancers, including solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. CUE-102 is being evaluated in a Phase 1 open label, two-part dose escalation and expansion study, for patients with late-stage colorectal, gastric/gastroesophageal junction, pancreatic and ovarian cancers that express WT1.

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 20% 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 (20% average weekly change). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$40m net loss in 3 years).

Cue Biopharma Receives Non-Compliance Letter from Nasdaq Regarding Minimum Bid Price Requirement On August 15, 2024, Cue Biopharma, Inc. (the Company") received a deficiency letter (the Notice") from the Listing Qualifications Department (the Staff") of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (Nasdaq") notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company's common stock had closed below $1.00 per share, which is the minimum bid price required to maintain continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the Minimum Bid Requirement"). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has an initial period of 180 calendar days (which expires on February 11, 2025) to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. 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 during this 180 calendar day period, at which time the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it complies with the Minimum Bid Requirement, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this ten-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H). If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement during the initial 180 calendar day period, it may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify, the Company will 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 Minimum Bid Requirement, and will need to provide written notice to the Staff of its intention to cure the deficiency during the additional compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if during the second compliance period it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company does not meet the other listing standards, the Staff could provide notice that the Company's common stock will become subject to delisting. Upon receipt of such notice, under Nasdaq rules, the Company may appeal the Staff's delisting determination to a Hearings Panel (the Panel"). The Company expects that its common stock would remain listed pending the Panel's decision. However, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by the Staff to the Panel, there can be no assurance that such appeal would be successful, or that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement or maintain compliance with the other listing requirements. The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and will evaluate available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. Reported Earnings • Aug 16

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: US$98.8m This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization 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: Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$57m net loss in 3 years). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (4.8% increase in shares outstanding).
