VANCOUVER, B.C., Grapevine, TX, March 26, 2026. Alpha Cognition Inc. (ACOG: NASDAQ) (“Alpha Cognition”, “ACI”, or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics for debilitating neurodegenerative disorders, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, and provided a business update.

“2025 was a year of strong commercial execution for Alpha Cognition as we continued to build momentum for ZUNVEYL – the first new oral Alzheimer’s treatment approved in more than 15 years. In the fourth quarter, we saw strong growth in demand, with December representing our strongest month since launch. We’re encouraged by the increasing rates of repeat ordering, indicating ZUNVEYL is moving beyond initial trial and becoming increasingly integrated into routine management in long-term care,” said Michael McFadden, Chief Executive Officer of Alpha Cognition.

“Importantly, we also executed a second national PBM contract, bringing us to two of the four major PBMs relevant to long-term care. Combined with the consistent clinical feedback we’re hearing on ZUNVEYL’s tolerability and behavioral profile, we believe we are well positioned to continue driving adoption as payer pull-through improves in 2026. We enter the year well-capitalized and focused on expanding our commercial footprint, deepening prescriber engagement, and advancing toward operational profitability in 2027.”

AboutAlpha Cognition Inc.

Alpha Cognition Inc. is a commercial stage, biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing treatments for patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Cognitive Impairment with mild Traumatic Brain Injury (“mTBI”), for which there are currently no approved treatment options.

ZUNVEYL is a patented drug approved as a new generation acetylcholinesterase inhibitor for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, with expected minimal gastrointestinal side effects. ZUNVEYL’s active metabolite is differentiated from donepezil and rivastigmine in that it binds neuronal nicotinic receptors, most notably the alpha-7 subtype, which is known to have a positive effect on cognition. ALPHA-1062 is also being developed in combination with memantine to treat moderate to severe Alzheimer’s dementia, and as an intranasal formulation for Cognitive Impairment with mTBI.

INDICATIONAND USAGE

ZUNVEYL is a cholinesterase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer’s type in adults.


IMPORTANTSAFETY INFORMATION


CONTRAINDICATIONS

ZUNVEYL is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to benzgalantamine, galantamine, or to any inactive ingredients in ZUNVEYL. Serious skin reactions have occurred.


WARNINGSAND PRECAUTIONS


SeriousSkin Reactions: Serious skin reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis) have been reported in patients receiving galantamine (the active metabolite of ZUNVEYL tablets). If signs or symptoms suggest a serious skin reaction, use of this drug should not be resumed, and alternative therapy should be considered.

Anesthesia:See Drug Interactions Section


CardiovascularConditions: Cholinesterase inhibitors, including ZUNVEYL, have vagotonic effects on the sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes, leading to bradycardia and AV block. Bradycardia and all types of heart block have been reported in patients taking cholinesterase inhibitors, both with and without known underlying cardiac conduction abnormalities. Therefore, all patients should be considered at risk for adverse effects on cardiac conduction.

Patients treated with galantamine up to 24 mg/day using the recommended dosing schedule showed a dose-related increase in risk of syncope.


GastrointestinalConditions: Cholinesterase inhibitors, including ZUNVEYL, may increase gastric acid secretion. Patients should be monitored closely for active or occult gastrointestinal bleeding, especially those with a history of ulcer disease or those receiving concurrent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Clinical studies of galantamine have shown no increase, relative to placebo, in the incidence of either peptic ulcer disease or gastrointestinal bleeding.

Galantamine has been shown to produce nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, and weight loss. Monitor the patient’s weight during therapy with ZUNVEYL


GenitourinaryConditions: Although this was not observed in clinical trials with galantamine, cholinesterase inhibitors, including ZUNVEYL, may cause bladder outflow obstruction.


NeurologicalConditions: Cholinesterase inhibitors are believed to have some potential to cause generalized convulsions. Seizure activity may also be a manifestation of Alzheimer’s disease. Patients with Alzheimer’s disease should be monitored closely for seizures while taking ZUNVEYL.


PulmonaryConditions: Cholinesterase inhibitors, including ZUNVEYL, should be prescribed with care to patients with a history of severe asthma or obstructive pulmonary disease. Monitor for respiratory adverse reactions.


ADVERSEREACTIONS

The most common adverse reactions with galantamine tablets (≥5%) were nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, and decreased appetite.


DRUGINTERACTIONS


Usewith Anticholinergics: Galantamine has the potential to interfere with the activity of anticholinergic medications.


Usewith Cholinomimetics and Other Cholinesterase Inhibitors: A synergistic effect is expected when cholinesterase inhibitors are given concurrently with succinylcholine, other cholinesterase inhibitors, similar neuromuscular blocking agents or cholinergic agonists such as bethanechol.


USEIN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS


**Pregnancy:**Based on animal data may cause fetal harm.


HepaticImpairment: In patients with moderate hepatic impairment, a decrease in clearance of galantamine was observed; therefore, a dosage adjustment is recommended. Use of ZUNVEYL in patients with severe hepatic impairment is not recommended.


RenalImpairment: In patients with a creatinine clearance of 9 to 59 mL/min, an increase in exposure of galantamine was observed; therefore, a dosage adjustment is recommended. Use of ZUNVEYL in patients with creatinine clearance less than 9 mL/min is not recommended.

These are not all of the possible side effects of ZUNVEYL. You can report side effects to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/MedWatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088. Please click here for Full Prescribing Information.

Noteregarding Key Performance Indicators

As the company began commercial sales of ZUNVEYL in 2025, management has identified several key performance indicators that it utilizes to assess the progress of commercialization and sale of ZUNVEYL and the success of its operations period over period. These key performance indicators include bottles dispensed, number of prescribers, homes and unique facilities engaged. These indicators are defined below along with management’s reasons for focusing on these indicators.

“Bottles dispensed” refers to the number of 30-day prescriptions of ZUNVEYL filled during a given period. This data is sourced from third-party providers. Reported figures reflect the bottles recorded as dispensed within that period based on management’s review of the data. Because the data may be updated over time, actual totals may vary slightly.

Alpha Cognition Inc.<br><br> <br>Nasdaq: ACOG<br><br> <br>1452<br> Hughes Road, Ste. 200<br><br> <br>Grapevine, TX 65051<br><br> <br>www.alphacognition.com<br><br> <br>info@alphacognition.com

Management considers bottles dispensed a key performance metric because it closely reflects real-world product usage and is a meaningful indicator of ZUNVEYL’s commercial performance and the Company’s operational progress.

“Prescribers” refers to the number of healthcare providers actively writing prescriptions for ZUNVEYL at the end of a reported period. This data is sourced from third-party providers and is evaluated on a weekly basis. The reported number reflects prescriber activity at a specific point in time and may not represent the total number of prescribers throughout the entire period.

Management considers prescribers a key metric because it indicates the level of commercial adoption of ZUNVEYL among healthcare providers and helps assess the potential for future growth in bottles dispensed.

“Homes” refers to the number of long-term care facilities where medical staff have prescribed ZUNVEYL to patients residing in those facilities. “Unique facilities engaged” refers to the number of long-term care facilities with which the Company’s sales team has had discussions regarding prescribing ZUNVEYL.

This data is sourced from third-party providers. Reported figures may vary from actual totals as data is updated over time.

Management considers homes and unique facilities engaged to be key performance metrics, as they reflect the effectiveness of the Company’s sales efforts in reaching potential prescribers and expanding coverage within the long-term care market.
