PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should carefully review this entire prospectus and any supplements to this prospectus, including the risk factors and financial statements included or incorporated by reference herein or therein.
Company Overview
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering the discovery and development of a new class of RNA-targeting therapeutics with the goal of upregulating gene expression and restoring healthy protein levels to treat a broad range of genetic diseases. Our lead product candidate, CMP-002, has the potential to be the first disease-modifying therapy for the treatment of synaptic Ras GTPase activating protein 1 (“SYNGAP1”)-related disorder, or SYNGAP1, a severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (“DEE”) characterized by seizures, developmental delays, and cognitive impairments. SYNGAP1 is caused by haploinsufficiency of the SYNGAP1 gene, where mutation of one functional gene copy results in a reduction in SYNGAP protein levels of up to 50%. While we believe that it remains underdiagnosed, we estimate that there are approximately 21,000 individuals living with SYNGAP1 in the United States and the five largest European markets. There are no approved disease-modifying therapies for SYNGAP1.
CMP-002 is a novel, intrathecally delivered antisense oligonucleotide (“ASO”) designed to target the SYNGAP1 gene at the transcriptional level to increase gene expression, which may increase SYNGAP protein levels in amounts sufficient to yield therapeutic benefit. In preclinical studies, intracerebroventricular injection of CMP-002 restored SYNGAP protein levels to near normal range in haploinsufficient mice carrying a single copy of the human SYNGAP1 gene after a single dose and rescued motor defects and spatial learning defects following two doses. A single dose of CMP-002 also produced a statistically significant improvement in both seizure threshold and severity of chemically induced tonic-clonic seizures in SYNGAP1 haploinsufficient mice, suggesting the potential for therapeutic benefit across both the neurodevelopmental and seizure phenotypes that characterize SYNGAP1-related disorder. In addition, biweekly intrathecal injections of CMP-002 in cynomolgus monkeys were well tolerated and significantly increased SYNGAP protein levels across multiple brain regions clinically relevant to the disease, with dose-linear increases of CMP-002 in disease-relevant brain regions. In July 2026, we announced that we had received clearance from Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration and the local Human Research Ethics Committee to initiate our Phase 1/2 clinical trial of CMP-002 in individuals with SYNGAP1.
Our product development efforts are enabled by our proprietary RAP Platform. We leverage our RAP Platform to identify and characterize regulatory RNAs (“regRNAs”), which play a central role in the regulation of every protein-coding gene by contributing to gene activation and suppression. Our approach is designed to amplify messenger RNA (“mRNA”) expression by harnessing the power of regRNAs that form localized complexes with transcription factors and regulate gene expression. Our RAP Platform allows us to rapidly and systematically identify and characterize the active regulatory elements controlling every expressed gene and tens of thousands of druggable enhancer and promoter regRNA sequences that control protein-coding genes. Once a disease-associated target gene is identified, we apply our RAP Platform to identify the controlling regRNA and rapidly generate novel ASO candidates. These ASOs are designed to bind to the identified regRNA and amplify the expression of the target gene in a specific and controllable way.
Our primary therapeutic focus is on diseases of the central nervous system (“CNS”), where there are numerous rare and prevalent haploinsufficient diseases with no approved treatments for which a modest increase in protein expression has the potential to be clinically meaningful. In addition to our SYNGAP1 program, we are advancing discovery programs in other CNS indications. We also intend to leverage strategic discovery partnerships, including our research, collaboration, and license agreement with GlaxoSmithKline, to extend the application of our RAP Platform beyond the CNS and validate our approach to gene upregulation in additional tissues and disease areas.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves risks. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including any risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in any supplements to this prospectus, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and in our subsequent filings with the SEC. Each of the referenced risks and uncertainties could adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities. Additional risks not known to us or that we believe are immaterial may also adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition and the value of an investment in our securities.
Risks Related to This Offering
The sale of the securities registered for resale hereunder and future sales of substantial amounts of our securities in the public market (including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants), or the perception that such sales may occur, may cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline significantly.
The Resale Shares represent a substantial percentage of our total outstanding Common Stock as of the date of this prospectus. The Resale Shares being offered for resale in this prospectus represent approximately 38.6% of our total outstanding Common Stock as of August 3, 2026, assuming the exercise of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants into shares of Common Stock without giving effect to beneficial ownership limitations, if any. The sale of the Resale Shares in the public market, or the perception that holders of a large number of securities intend to sell their securities, could significantly reduce the market price of our Common Stock.
We cannot predict if and when the selling stockholders may sell such shares in the public markets. Furthermore, in the future, we may issue additional shares of Common Stock or other equity or debt securities convertible into shares of Common Stock. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and could cause our stock price to decline.

DESCRIPTION OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT
On September 9, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the selling stockholders named in this prospectus, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the selling stockholders certain securities, in up to two closings in a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement”). The initial closing occurred on September 11, 2025 (the “Initial Closing”). At the Initial Closing, the Company issued 26,717,414 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and 6,003,758 pre-funded warrants (the “2025 Pre-Funded Warrants”) for net cash proceeds of $46.7 million, after deducting $3.3 million in issuance costs and legal fees. The Purchase Agreement also contemplates a second closing of the Private Placement (the “Second Closing”). The Second Closing was triggered upon the achievement of the CTA Milestone (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the Company’s receipt of a Price Threshold Waiver (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (together, the “Second Closing Trigger”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Second Closing occurred on August 3, 2026. At the Second Closing, the Company sold to the selling stockholders 10,756,498 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.53 per share, 21,925,368 Pre-Funded Warrants at a purchase price of $1.5299 per Pre-Funded Warrant to certain investors in lieu of shares of Common Stock, and 39,306 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.65 per share to certain directors, consultants and members of management of the Company. The gross proceeds of the Second Closing were approximately $50.1 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other expenses.
The Company and the selling stockholders entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated September 9, 2025 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), providing for the registration for resale of the shares of our Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants sold in connection with the Private Placement. The Company agreed to file the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, registering such shares with the SEC, no later than September 2, 2026. The Company has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to keep such registration statement continuously effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) from the date on which the SEC declares the registration statement to be effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the selling stockholders shall have resold all the Registrable Securities (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covered thereby and (ii) the date on which the Registrable Securities may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act and without current public information pursuant to Rule 144.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The description of our capital stock is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 4.1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 5, 2026.
2026 Pre-Funded Warrants
The material terms and provisions of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock are summarized below. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the form of pre-funded warrant, which was filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K on September 10, 2025.
Exercisability. Holders may exercise the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants at any time or from time to time until exercised in full. As further described under “Selling Stockholders,” notwithstanding the foregoing, certain holders will be prohibited from exercising the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants into shares of our Common Stock if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than a specific percentage (initially, 4.99% or 9.99%, as determined by the holder) of the total number of shares of our Common Stock then issued and outstanding; provided, however that a holder may from time to time increase or decrease such maximum percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% by giving 61 days’ notice to the Company (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our Common Stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below).
Exercise Price. The exercise price upon exercise of each 2026 Pre-Funded Warrant is $0.0001 per share of Common Stock, with an aggregate exercise price of $1.53 per share of Common Stock, of which $1.5299 per share of Common Stock was paid by the holders at the closing. The exercise price of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, subdivisions, stock splits, stock combinations, cash distributions, reclassifications, exchanges, combinations or substitutions affecting our Common Stock.
Payment of Exercise Price. The 2026 Pre-Funded Warrant holders have the option to provide payment of the exercise price of the shares being acquired upon exercise of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants (i) by payment acceptable to us or (ii) by cashless exercise.
Cashless Exercise. In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holders of 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants may elect instead to receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrant.
Transferability. Subject to applicable laws and the restriction on transfer set forth in the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants, the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants may be transferred.
Fundamental Transactions. Upon the consummation of a fundamental transaction (as described in the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants, and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person in which we are not the surviving entity, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding common stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock), a holder of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that such holder would have received had they exercised the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction, without regard to any limitations on exercise contained in the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants.
Rights as a Stockholder. Except for the right to participate in certain dividends and distributions and as otherwise provided in the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants or by virtue of a holder’s ownership of our Common Stock, the holders of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our Common Stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants.
6
Waivers and Amendments. No term of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants may be amended or waived without the written consent of the holder of such 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants.

Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless specifically expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this prospectus.
Unless otherwise indicated, market and industry data contained in this prospectus, including potential market opportunities, is based on our management’s estimates and research, as well as industry and general publications and research and studies conducted by third parties. Although we believe that the information from these third-party publications, research and studies included in this prospectus is reliable, and we are responsible for the accuracy of such information, we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of this information. Management’s estimates are derived from publicly available information, their knowledge of our industry and their assumptions based on such information and knowledge, which we believe to be reasonable. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations and the industry in which we operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the section “Risk Factors” in this prospectus, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in our subsequent filings with the SEC. These and other factors could cause our future performance to differ materially from our assumptions and estimates.

USE OF PROCEEDS
All of the shares of Common Stock offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the selling stockholders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.
The selling stockholders will bear all discounts and commissions, if any, and expenses incurred by them for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred in disposing of the Common Stock. We will bear the costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, Nasdaq listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accounting firm.
We will receive proceeds from the exercise of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent any are exercised for cash but not from the sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise. If any of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised on a net exercise cashless basis, we would not receive any cash payment from the applicable selling stockholder upon any such exercise. Unless otherwise disclosed in a prospectus supplement, we intend to use any net proceeds from the exercise of 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants to fund the preclinical and clinical development of CMP-002, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to (i) file the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to cover the resale of the shares of Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants, which the selling stockholders acquired as part of the Second Closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (ii) to use reasonable best efforts to keep such registration statement continuously effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act from the date on which the SEC declares the registration statement to be effective until the earlier of (x) the date on which the selling stockholders shall have resold all the Registrable Securities (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covered thereby, and (y) the date on which the Registrable Securities may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144 and without current public information pursuant to Rule 144.
We are registering the resale of the above-referenced securities to permit each of the selling stockholders identified below, or their permitted transferees or other successors-in-interest that may be identified in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to resell or otherwise dispose of the securities in the manner contemplated under “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus (as may be supplemented and amended). This prospectus covers the sale or other disposition by the selling stockholders of up to the total number of shares of Common Stock that were issued or issuable upon exercise of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants issued to the selling stockholders in the Second Closing of the Private Placement. Throughout this prospectus, when we refer to the securities being registered on behalf of the selling stockholders, we are referring to the shares of Common Stock or shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants issued in the Second Closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. When we refer to “selling stockholders” in this prospectus, we mean those persons listed in the table below, as well as their permitted transferees, pledgees or donees or other successors-in-interest that may be identified in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The selling stockholders may sell some, all or none of their shares of Common Stock. We do not know for how long the selling stockholders will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholders regarding the sale or other disposition of any of the shares. The shares of Common Stock covered hereby may be offered from time to time by the selling stockholders.
The information regarding shares beneficially owned after the offering assumes the sale of all shares of Common Stock offered by the selling stockholders. To our knowledge, subject to community property laws where applicable, each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such person’s name.
The following table sets forth the name of each selling stockholder, the number and percentage of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders as of August 3, 2026, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be offered under this prospectus, and the number and percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders, assuming all of the shares of Common Stock registered hereunder are sold. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to the Common Stock. Generally, a person “beneficially owns” shares of the Common Stock if the person has or shares with others the right to vote those shares or to dispose of them, or if the person has the right to acquire voting or disposition rights within 60 days of August 3, 2026.
The number of shares described under the column “Shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned Prior to this Offering” for each selling stockholder includes all shares of our Common Stock beneficially held by such selling stockholder as of August 3, 2026, which includes (i) all shares of our Common Stock purchased by such selling stockholder in the Second Closing, and (ii) all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants purchased by such selling stockholder in the Second Closing, not reflecting the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Because each selling stockholder may dispose of all, none or some portion of their shares of Common Stock, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares that will be beneficially owned by a selling stockholder upon termination of this offering.
11
For purposes of the table below, however, we have assumed that after termination of this offering none of the shares covered by this prospectus will be beneficially owned by the selling stockholders and further assumed that the selling stockholders will not acquire or dispose of beneficial ownership of any additional shares of Common Stock during the offering. In addition, the selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, any or all of their shares of Common Stock or interests in shares of Common Stock in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which the information in the table is presented. See the section titled “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders, which as used herein include donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of Common Stock or interests in shares of Common Stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of Common Stock or interests in shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares of Common Stock or interests therein:
•distributions to members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders of the selling stockholders;
•ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
•block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
•purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
•an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
•privately negotiated transactions;
•short sales and settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
•through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
•broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
•a combination of any such methods of sale; and
•any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling stockholders for purposes of this prospectus. In connection with the sale of our Common Stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
16
The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the Common Stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the Common Stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of Common Stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants.
The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock owned by them in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, or another available exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of shares of Common Stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act (it being understood that the selling stockholders shall not be deemed to be underwriters solely as a result of their participation in this offering). Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares covered by this prospectus may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
To the extent required, the shares of our Common Stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

All of such fees and expenses, except for the SEC registration fee, are estimated:

Accounting fees and expenses | $ | 10,000 | |||

Miscellaneous fees and expenses | $ | 5,455 | |||
Total | $ | 181,000 | |||
Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (our “Charter”) includes a provision to eliminate the personal liability of our directors and officers for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, our Charter and amended and restated bylaws provide that we are required to indemnify our officers and directors under certain circumstances, including those circumstances in which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary, and we are required to advance expenses to our officers and directors as incurred in connection with proceedings against them for which they may be indemnified, in each case except to the extent that the DGCL prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors or officers for breaches of fiduciary duty.
Section 145(a) of the DGCL provides that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
II-1
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. These indemnification agreements provide broader indemnity rights than those provided under the DGCL and our Charter. These indemnification agreements are not intended to deny or otherwise limit third-party or derivative suits against us or our directors or officers, but to the extent a director or officer were entitled to indemnity or contribution under the indemnification agreement, the financial burden of a third-party suit would be borne by us, and we would not benefit from derivative recoveries against the director or officer. Such recoveries would accrue to our benefit but would be offset by our obligations to the director or officer under the indemnification agreement.
We maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the benefit of our directors and officers.

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.
(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(A)Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(B)Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or
II-3
prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5)That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; (iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6)That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Registration of Securities by CAMP4 Therapeutics Corporation
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to CAMP4 Therapeutics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed on the date hereof by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the registration under the Securities Act and the proposed offer and sale from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, by certain stockholders of the Company identified in the Registration Statement, of up to (i) 10,795,804 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) 21,925,368 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of pre-funded warrants, with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share (the “Pre-Funded Warrants” and together with the Common Stock, the “Securities”), which were sold pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 9, 2025 and amended as of August 3, 2026, by and among the Company and the purchasers named therein.
In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined such certificates, documents and records and have made such investigation of fact and such examination of law as we have deemed appropriate in order to enable us to render the opinions set forth herein. In conducting such investigation, we have relied, without independent verification, upon certificates of officers of the Company, public officials and other appropriate persons.
The opinions expressed below are limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that the Securities have been duly authorized by the Company and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
In rendering the opinions set forth above, we have assumed that (i) the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto will have become effective under the Securities Act, and no stop order suspending the Registration Statement’s effectiveness will have been issued and
CAMP4 Therapeutics Corporation - 2 -
remain in effect each time the Securities are offered and sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement, and (ii) all Securities will be offered and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the applicable prospectus supplement.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name therein and in the related prospectus under the caption “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
