– Extends Cash Runway through 2027 –

Rallybio Corporation (Nasdaq: RLYB), a clinical-stage biotechnology company translating scientific advances into transformative therapies for patients with devastating rare diseases, today announced that it received an equity milestone payment of $12.5 million from Recursion. The milestone payment was triggered by the initiation of additional preclinical studies for REV102, an investigational ENPP1 inhibitor in development for the treatment of hypophosphatasia (HPP).

“This milestone reflects the continued momentum of the REV102 preclinical program,” said Stephen Uden, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Rallybio. “We are proud to have played a foundational role in advancing this potential first-in-class therapy for patients with HPP, a community in urgent need of better treatment options. Moreover, this non-dilutive capital further strengthens our financial position as we continue to look forward to sharing topline data from the confirmatory PK/PD study of RLYB116 in the coming months.”

The $12.5 million equity milestone payment is payable by Recursion pursuant to the previously announced agreement under which Rallybio sold its interest in the REV102 program to Recursion for up to $25 million, including an upfront equity payment of $7.5 million. Rallybio remains eligible to receive an additional $5 million milestone payment in connection with the initiation of a Phase 1 clinical study, as well as low single-digit royalties on future net sales by Recursion. In addition, Rallybio may be eligible to receive certain payments in the event of Recursion’s sale of the REV102 program. With this $12.5 million equity payment, Rallybio expects its cash runway to extend through 2027.
