[***] [***]

Amounts owed pursuant to this Section 4.3.1 are fully creditable against Royalties due hereunder. If the Royalties paid in a Calendar Year do not exceed the minimum annual royalty paid under this Section 4.3.1, then Fulcrum may carry forward the unused amount and apply such amount against the Royalties owed to CAMP4 in subsequent Calendar Years until it is fully applied.

7.1.2Fulcrum’s indemnification under Section 7.1.1 above shall not apply to any Loss to the extent that it is attributable to the negligent activities, recklessness or intentional misconduct of the CMCC Indemnitees or breach of an obligation by CMCC under the CMCC License Agreement.

7.1.3CAMP4 shall, and shall cause any CMCC Indemnitee to, permit Fulcrum to have control of the defense of any actions brought or filed against a CMCC Indemnitee that are subject to the indemnification obligations of Fulcrum contained in this Agreement so long as Fulcrum promptly assumes the defense and prosecutes the defense with appropriate diligence and care and selects attorneys reasonably acceptable the CMCC Indemnitee, to defend such actions, provided however, that Fulcrum shall not admit any fault, liability or culpability on the part of CMCC Indemnitee without the prior written permission of such CMCC Indemnitee.

7.1.4HHMI and its trustees, officers, employees, and agents (collectively, “HHMI Indemnitees”), will be indemnified, defended by counsel reasonably acceptable to HHMI, and held harmless by Xxxxxxx from and against any claim, liability, cost, expense, damage, deficiency, loss, or obligation, of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses of defense) (collectively, “Claims”), based upon, arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement or any sublicense, or the use, handling, storage, or disposition of the Transferred Material by Fulcrum, its Affiliates, Sublicensees or others who possess the Transferred Material through a chain of possession leading back, directly or indirectly, to Fulcrum, including without limitation any cause of action relating to product liability. The previous sentence will not apply to any Claim that is determined with finality by a court of

competent jurisdiction to result solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an HHMI Indemnitee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Xxxxxxx’s obligation to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the HHMI Indemnitees under this paragraph will not be subject to any limitation or exclusion of liability or damages or otherwise limited in any way.

7.1.5By CAMP4. CAMP4 shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Fulcrum and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (each, a “Fulcrum Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses to which any Fulcrum Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any Third Party Claim to the extent such Losses arise out of: (a) the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of CAMP4 or its Affiliates in connection with its activities under this Agreement; or (b) the breach of this Agreement or the representations, warranties, and covenants made hereunder by CAMP4, except, in each case, to the extent such Losses result from matters subject to clause (a), (b), or (c) of Section 7.1.6.

7.1.6By Fulcrum. Fulcrum shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless CAMP4, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an “CAMP4 Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses to which any CAMP4 Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any Third Party Claim to the extent such Losses arise out of: (a) the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Fulcrum, its Affiliates, or their respective Sublicensees in connection with its activities under this Agreement; (b) the breach of this Agreement or the representations, warranties and covenants made hereunder by Xxxxxxx; or (c) the exploitation of Licensed Products by Fulcrum, its Affiliates, its authorized agents, or its Sublicensees, except, in each case, to the extent such Losses result from matters subject to clause (a) or (b) of Section 7.1.5.

7.1.7Procedure. A Party that intends to claim indemnification under this Article 7 (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the Indemnitor (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any Third Party Claim in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim shall only relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations under this Article 7 if and to the extent the Indemnitor is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnitor has sole control of the defense or settlement thereof. The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim covered by this indemnification. The Indemnitee may participate at its expense in the Indemnitor’s defense of and settlement negotiations for any Third Party Claim with counsel of the Indemnitee’s own selection. The Indemnitor shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, not to be unreasonably withheld. So long as the Indemnitor is actively defending the Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor does not assume and conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim as provided above: (a) the Indemnitee may defend against, consent to the entry of any judgment, or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim in any manner the Indemnitee may deem reasonably appropriate (and the Indemnitee need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnitor in connection therewith); and (b) the Indemnitor shall remain responsible to indemnify the Indemnitee as provided in this Article 7.

7.2Insuranc e. Beginning at the time as any such product, process or service is being

commercially distributed or sold (other than for the purpose of obtaining regulatory approvals) by Fulcrum or by a Sublicensee, Affiliate or an authorized agent of Fulcrum, Fulcrum shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance in amounts not less than [***] and naming the CAMP4 Indemnitees and HHMI Indemnitees as additional insureds. Such commercial general liability insurance shall provide (i) product liability coverage and (ii) contractual liability coverage for Fulcrum’s indemnification under this Article 7. [***] The minimum amount of insurance coverage required under this Section 7.2, shall not be construed to create a limit of Fulcrum’s liability with respect to its indemnification under Article 7 of this Agreement. Fulcrum shall provide CAMP4 with written evidence of such insurance upon request of CAMP4. Fulcrum shall provide CAMP4 with written notice at least [***] prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, if Fulcrum does not obtain replacement insurance providing comparable coverage prior to the cancellation or non-renewal of such insurance, CAMP4 shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective at the end of such [***] without notice of any additional waiting periods. Fulcrum shall maintain such commercial general liability insurance during [***].

7.3Survival. The provisions of this Article 7 survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 8

CONFIDENTIALITY

8.1Confidential Information.

8.1.1Restrictions. A Party (the “Receiving Party”) that receives Confidential Information from the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) under this Agreement shall keep all the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in confidence with the same degree of care with which the Receiving Party holds its own confidential information (but in no event less than a commercially reasonable degree of care). A Receiving Party shall not use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information except in connection with the performance of its obligations and exercise of its rights under this Agreement, or as permitted under Section 8.1.2.

8.1.2Exceptions. The obligations of confidentiality and restriction on use of Confidential Information under Section 8.1.1 do not apply to any information that the Receiving Party can prove by competent written evidence: (a) is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of the Receiving Party, generally known or available to the public;

(b) is known by the Receiving Party at the time of receiving such information, other than by previous disclosure of the Disclosing Party, or its Affiliates, employees, agents, consultants, or contractors; (c) is hereafter furnished to the Receiving Party without restriction by a Third Party who has no obligation of confidentiality or limitations on use with respect thereto, as a matter of right; or (d) is independently discovered or developed by the Receiving Party without the use of Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party. Specific information shall not be deemed to be within any of the foregoing exclusions merely because it is embraced by more general information falling within those exclusions.

8.1.3Permitted Disclosures. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party as expressly permitted by this Agreement or if and

to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following instances:

(a)Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents as permitted by this

Agreement;

(b)Regulatory Filings for Licensed Product that such Party has a license

or right to develop hereunder in a given country or jurisdiction;

(c)prosecuting or defending litigation as permitted by this Agreement;

(d)complying with applicable court orders or governmental regulations, including mutually recognized securities laws;

(e)in response to a valid request by a U.S., state, foreign, provincial, or local tax authority, in which case either Party may disclose, a copy of this Agreement (including any Exhibits, schedules, ancillary agreements, and amendments hereto);

(f)disclosure to its and its Affiliates’ employees, consultants, contractors and agents, and to Sublicensees (in the case of Fulcrum), in each case on a need-to- know basis in connection with the Research, Development, Manufacture, use, Commercialization, or other exploitation of Licensed Products in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in each case under written obligations of confidentiality and non-use; and

(g)disclosure to potential and actual investors, acquirers, licensees and other financial partners solely for the purpose of evaluating or carrying out an actual or potential investment, acquisition or financing, in each case under written obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as stringent as those herein; provided, however, that with respect to disclosure to actual or bona fide potential investors or financiers, such disclosure is under a written obligation of confidentiality that is consistent with market terms, including a shorter period of time during which such information must be held confidential.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 8.1.3(d) or (e), it shall, except where impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure and use efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information at least as diligent as such Party would use to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than reasonable efforts. Any information disclosed pursuant to Section 8.1.3(d) or (e) remains Confidential Information and subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement, including the foregoing provisions of this Article 8.

8.1.4Disclosure of Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party or its Affiliates may disclose the relevant terms of this Agreement: (a) to the extent required or advisable to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any equivalent governmental agency or the rules of any recognized stock exchange in any country in the Territory, provided that such Party shall submit a confidential treatment request in connection with such disclosure and shall submit with such confidential treatment request only such redacted form of this Agreement as may be mutually agreed in writing by the Parties; (b) upon request from a Governmental Authority (such as a tax authority), provided the disclosing Party uses reasonable efforts to ensure the Governmental Authority maintains such

terms as confidential; (c) to CMCC, to the extent necessary to comply with the terms of the CMCC License Agreement; (d) to potential and actual investors, acquirers, licensees and other financial partners solely for the purpose of evaluating or carrying out an actual or potential investment or acquisition, in each case under written obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as stringent as those herein; provided, however, that with respect to disclosure to actual or bona fide potential investors, such disclosure is under a written obligation of confidentiality that is consistent with market terms, including a shorter period of time during which such information must be held confidential; and (e) (in the case of Fulcrum) to the extent necessary in connection with the performance of obligations or exercise of rights under this Agreement, to any Sublicensee, collaborator or potential Sublicensee or potential collaborator, provided however such Person agrees in writing to be bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use no less protective of the Disclosing Party than those set forth in this Agreement.

8.1.5Survival. Each Party’s obligations with respect to Confidential Information under this Section 8.1 apply during the Term and continue for [***] thereafter.

8.2Publicity. CAMP4 acknowledges that Fulcrum is a publicly traded company and that the disclosure of non-public information regarding Fulcrum or trading in the securities of Fulcrum while in the possession of such information may, depending on the facts and circumstances, subject CAMP4 to liability under the regulations or the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, NASDAQ or any stock exchange on which Fulcrum’s shares are listed or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Fulcrum shall issue a press release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C promptly after the Effective Date. Thereafter, either Party may make subsequent public disclosure of the contents of such press release. Except as permitted under Section 8.1.3 and this section 8.2, neither Party shall issue any subsequent press release or public statement disclosing information relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the terms hereof without the prior written consent of the other Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided however, that neither Party will not be prevented from (i) complying with any duty of disclosure it may have pursuant to Applicable Laws or pursuant to the rules of any recognized stock exchange, or (ii) repeating any information relating to this Agreement that has already been publicly disclosed by the other Party.

8.3Proprietary, Non-Public Informa tion. Fulcrum hereby covenants and agrees that it will not use or cause to be used proprietary, non-public information that CAMP4 has acquired from CMCC or any Affiliate thereof in the course of prosecution of the CMCC-Licensed Patents, or patent counsel prosecuting the CMCC-Licensed Patents on behalf of Fulcrum or its Affiliates and such information shall be considered Confidential Information of CMCC or its Affiliates and be subject to CAMP4’s obligations under Article VI of the CMCC License Agreement. But for satisfying Fulcrum’s obligations under 37 CFR 1.56 and any other similar statutory, regulatory or professional ethical requirement, Fulcrum shall not advise counsel prosecuting such CMCC- Licensed Patents to include information in any such patent application that would, to Fulcrum’s knowledge, have a material, negative impact on CMCC’s or its Affiliate’s ownership of such rights or the validity of such CMCC-Licensed Patents. Any assignment or sublicense granted by Fulcrum shall contain an identical commitment by the assignee or Sublicensee.

ARTICLE 9

TERM & TERMINATION

9.1Term. This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier as provided in accordance with this Agreement, shall continue on a Licensed Product-by- Licensed Product basis until the expiration of the Royalty Term in the Territory for such Licensed Product (the “Term”). Upon the expiration of the Royalty Term for a Licensed Product in a particular country, the licenses granted by CAMP4 to Fulcrum under Section 2.1 with respect to such Licensed Product and such country shall survive and become perpetual, fully-paid, and royalty-free, and shall remain exclusive (even as to CAMP4 and its Affiliates).

9.2Termination for Failure to Pay. CAMP4 may terminate this Agreement upon [***] prior written notice in the event of Fulcrum’s failure to pay to CAMP4 any amounts properly due and payable hereunder in a timely manner, unless Fulcrum shall make all such payments to CAMP4 within said [***]; provided that the cure period will be tolled pending resolution of any bona fide dispute between the Parties as to whether such payments is due and payable under this Agreement. Upon the expiration of the [***] (plus any additional time due to tolling of the cure period), if Fulcrum shall not have made all such undisputed payments to CAMP4, the rights, privileges and licenses granted hereunder shall terminate without further action by CAMP4.

9.3Termination for Patent Challenge. CAMP4 may terminate this Agreement upon [***] written notice to Fulcrum if Fulcrum or Fulcrum’s Affiliate, or Sublicensee takes actions to challenge, in a judicial or administrative proceeding, the validity of any CMCC-Licensed Patent, provided that Fulcrum has not revoked or caused to be revoked such proceeding within [***]; provided further that the foregoing right to terminate shall not apply where such challenge of a CMCC-Licensed Patent is the assertion of a defense or counterclaim to an action first brought by CMCC against Fulcrum. For the avoidance of doubt, any participation by Xxxxxxx, its Affiliate, Sublicensee or any of their respective employees in any claim, challenge or proceeding in response to a subpoena shall not constitute an active challenge and shall not give rise to CAMP4’s right to terminate this Agreement.

9.4Termination for Material Breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement, upon written notice to the other Party if such other Party materially breaches its obligations under this Agreement and, after receiving written notice from the non-breaching Party identifying such material breach in reasonable detail, fails to cure such material breach within [***] from the date of such notice; provided that if such breach is not reasonably capable of cure within [***], the breaching Party may submit, prior to the end of [***], a reasonable plan to cure the breach within [***] in which case the other Party may not terminate this Agreement for so long as the breaching Party is [***] to implement such cure plan within [***].

9.5Termination for Insolvency. A Party may immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party if such other Party becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts as they become due, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, enters into bankruptcy or similar proceedings, or has a receiver or custodian appointed for it, or ceases to conduct business or enters into dissolution or liquidation proceedings.

9.6Termination by Fulcrum without Cause. Fulcrum may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement in its entirety at any time and without cause [***] prior written notice to CAMP4.

9.7Disputed Breach. If the allegedly breaching Party disputes in good faith the existence or materiality of a breach specified in a notice provided by the other Party in accordance with Section 9.4, and such allegedly breaching Party provides the other Party notice of such dispute within [***] then the non-breaching Party may not terminate this Agreement under Section 9.4 unless and until it has been finally determined pursuant to Article 10 that the alleged breaching Party has materially breached this Agreement and such Party fails to cure such breach within [***] following a final and non-appealable court decision. During the pendency of such dispute, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect and the Parties shall continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder.

9.8Effects of Termination.

9.8.1Termination of Licenses. All licenses for Licensed Products granted under Section 2.1 terminate automatically as of the termination effective date; provided that, if Fulcrum (or its Affiliates or Sublicensees) has inventory of usable Licensed Product(s) as of the effective date of termination, then Fulcrum (and its Affiliates and Sublicensees) may continue to sell off such inventory of Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory (and fulfill customer orders therefor) until [***], and shall pay CAMP4 any applicable Royalties due based on such sales. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, upon the request of any Sublicensee of Fulcrum who is not then in breach of its sublicense agreement or the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to such Sublicensee, CAMP4 will enter into a direct license to such Sublicensee on the same terms as this Agreement, taking into account any difference in license scope, territory and duration of sublicense grant (each a “New License Agreement”). Under any such New License Agreement between CAMP4 and such former Sublicensee, (a) such former Sublicensee will be required to pay to CAMP4 the same amounts in consideration for such direct grant as CAMP4 would have otherwise received from Fulcrum pursuant to this Agreement on account of such former Sublicensee’s exploitation of the Licensed Products had this Agreement not been terminated and (b) CAMP4 will not be bound by any grant of rights broader than, and will not be required to perform any obligation other than those rights and obligations contained in, this Agreement.

9.8.2Destruction of Confidential Information. Each Receiving Party shall destroy (at the Disclosing Party’s written request) all such Confidential Information of the Receiving Party in its possession as of the effective date of expiration or termination (with the exception of one copy of such Confidential Information, which may be retained by the legal department of the Receiving Party to confirm compliance with the non-use and non-disclosure provisions of this Agreement), and any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party contained in its laboratory notebooks or databases, provided that each Receiving Party may retain and continue to use such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent necessary to exercise any surviving rights, licenses or obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Receiving Party shall not be required to destroy any computer files created during automatic system back up that are subsequently stored securely by it and not readily accessible to its employees, consultants, or others who received the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information under this Agreement.

9.9Additional Effects of Termination by CAMP4 for Cause. This Section 9.9 shall apply upon any termination of this Agreement in its entirety by CAMP4 under Section 9.2, Section 9.3, or Section 9.4:

9.9.1License Grant. Effective upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement, Fulcrum hereby grants to CAMP4 in the Field and in the Territory an exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, license with the right to grant sublicenses, under any intellectual property rights Controlled by Fulcrum that are necessary or had been, prior to such termination, actually used by Fulcrum to exploit any Licensed Product, as such Licensed Product existed on the effective date of termination of this Agreement, to Research, Develop, Manufacture, use, Commercialize, or otherwise exploit such Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory.

9.9.2Conveyance of Regulatory Filings. Upon termination of this Agreement, Fulcrum will, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, assign and transfer to CAMP4 or its designee, [***] any and all Regulatory Filings, including any Marketing Authorization obtained from Regulatory Authorities in the Territory, solely relating to a Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory. If Fulcrum is prohibited by Applicable Law from assigning or transferring Regulatory Filings to CAMP4 or its designee, then Fulcrum will promptly upon CAMP4’s request (a) provide all such Regulatory Filings to CAMP4 or its designee and reasonably cooperate with CAMP4 and its designees to permit CAMP4 and its designees to make new Regulatory Filings for such Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory and (b) withdraw its own Regulatory Filings for the Licensed Product in the Territory.

9.10Additional Effects of Termination by Fulcrum for Convenience. This Section

9.10shall apply upon any termination of this Agreement in its entirety by Fulcrum under Section 9.6:

9.10.1Right to Negotiate. On the written request of CAMP4 within [***] after the effective date of termination of this Agreement, Fulcrum will enter into good faith negotiations with CAMP4 for the grant to CAMP4 in the Field and in the Territory of an exclusive, royalty-bearing (or revenue sharing), license with the right to grant sublicenses, under any intellectual property rights Controlled by Fulcrum that are necessary or had been, prior to such termination, actually used by Fulcrum to exploit any Licensed Product, as such Licensed Product existed on the effective date of termination of this Agreement, to Research, Develop, Manufacture, use, Commercialize, or otherwise exploit such Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory.

9.10.2Conveyance of Regulatory Filings. Upon termination of this Agreement, Fulcrum will, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, assign and transfer to CAMP4 or its designee, [***] any and all Regulatory Filings, including any Marketing Authorization obtained from Regulatory Authorities in the Territory, solely relating to a Licensed Product (other than Regulatory Filings relating to any Licensed Products Covered by a Valid Claim of a Patent owned by Fulcrum or its Affiliates or Sublicensees) in the Field in the Territory. If Fulcrum is prohibited by Applicable Law from assigning or transferring Regulatory Filings to CAMP4 or its designee, then Fulcrum will promptly upon CAMP4’s request (a) provide all such Regulatory Filings to CAMP4 or its designee and reasonably cooperate with CAMP4 and its designees to permit CAMP4 and its designees to make new Regulatory Filings for such Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory and (b) withdraw its own Regulatory Filings for such Licensed Product in the Territory.

9.11Survival. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation or right accruing prior to such expiration or termination. Except as set forth below

or elsewhere in this Agreement, the obligations and rights of the Parties under the following provisions of this Agreement shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement: Article 1, Article 8, Sections 9.8-9.11, Article 10 and Article 11.

9.12Bankruptcy Code. If this Agreement is rejected by a Party as a debtor under Section 365 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar provision in the bankruptcy laws of another jurisdiction (the “Code”), then, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, all licenses and rights to licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by the Party in bankruptcy to the other Party are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Code (or similar provision in the bankruptcy laws of the jurisdiction), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the Code (or similar provision in the bankruptcy laws of another applicable jurisdiction). The Parties agree that a Party that is a licensee of rights under this Agreement shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Code, and that upon commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Party under the Code, the other Party shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of, or complete access to (as such other Party deems appropriate), any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, if not already in such other Party’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to such other Party: (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon written request therefor by such other Party, unless the bankrupt Party elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement; or (b) if not delivered under the foregoing subclause (a), upon the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the bankrupt Party upon written request therefor by the other Party. The foregoing provisions of this Section 9.12 are without prejudice to any rights a Party may have arising under the Code.

Fulcrum Therapeutics Signs Exclusive Global License Agreement in Rare Hematology

— CAMP4 Therapeutics grants exclusive rights to advance novel therapies for Diamond-Blackfan Anemia—

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – July 10, 2023 – Fulcrum Therapeutics, Inc.® (NASDAQ: FULC), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on improving the lives of patients with genetically defined rare diseases, today announced that it has entered into a worldwide, exclusive license agreement with CAMP4 Therapeutics Corp., whereby Fulcrum will advance the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel therapeutic agents against an undisclosed target for the potential treatment of Diamond-Blackfan Anemia (DBA).

DBA is a congenital, rare blood disorder that affects an estimated 5,000 individuals worldwide. DBA is caused by genetic mutations in ribosomal subunits that halt red blood cell maturation and lead to anemia. Patients are usually diagnosed in infancy with the presentation of severe anemia and potential developmental abnormalities. Patients with DBA require lifelong management with corticosteroids and blood transfusions that are known for their toxicities and long-term complications.

“We are deeply committed to bringing hope and new options to patients suffering from rare hematologic diseases and are excited to expand on the work of CAMP4’s pre-clinical DBA program,” said Xxxx Xxxxxx, Chief Scientific

Officer, Fulcrum Therapeutics. “This agreement further strengthens our discovery pipeline and reinforces our strategy of addressing rare genetic conditions through small molecules.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Fulcrum has been granted an exclusive, worldwide license to intellectual property arising from CAMP4’s DBA program, including the right to research, develop, manufacture, and commercialize investigational compounds against an undisclosed target. In exchange, CAMP4 Therapeutics will receive an undisclosed upfront payment and up to $70 million in additional payments, upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory, and commercial milestones. Fulcrum will assume sole responsibility for research, development, manufacturing and commercialization costs and activities, and will pay tiered royalties on future commercial sales.

“Our mission is to harness the power of the cell’s transcriptional regulators to unlock new options for people living with genetic diseases like DBA,” said Xxxx Xxxxxx-Xxxxx, Chief Executive Officer, CAMP4 Therapeutics. “By uniting our scientific insights with Xxxxxxx’s deep

expertise in hematology and small molecule development, this agreement will help accelerate the discovery and delivery of ground-breaking therapies for this underserved

community.”
