Specifically, yesterday QURE provided a regulatory update (see our note) indicating that at a
Type B meeting, the FDA communicated a path to accelerated approval (after alignment on
confirmatory study design). QURE plans to file BLA in 3Q for accelerated approval in
Huntington's; we note that with priority review this could put a US launch as early as
1H27. Notably, for the confirmatory study, it seems a sham control is off the table, which we also
view as a major positive.

For QURE shares, we think the opportunity in Huntington's is significant (~$3-5B+ market). We Link to Barclays Live for interactive charting
think if there is a pathway to accelerated approval, we see upside into launch; we note QURE
shares at the ~$60/sh level in fall '25 when this was previously seen as viable. From the 3-year data, U.S. Small & Mid Cap Biotechnology
we think AMT-130 works, and see a major unmet need in this progressive, fatal disease. We note Eliana Merle, CFA

meeting, we lack visibility into future regulatory decisions (confirmatory study alignment, eliana.merle@barclays.com
acceptance/approval of BLA) & some of the prior issues raised by FDA could become review issues. BCI, US
However, we note that prior to this update when there was greater uncertainty around the Jasmine Fels, PhD
regulatory pathway in Huntington's, shares were at the ~$27/sh level (close on 6/17). +1 212 526 0865
