NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Quince Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), was unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report”) within the prescribed time period as additional time is necessary to complete accounting procedures and prepare required disclosures, due to recent reductions in headcount and the impacts of the recently announced negative results of the Company’s Phase 3 clinical trial. As previously disclosed, the Company’s pivotal Phase 3 international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, the primary endpoint, which measured the change from baseline to last efficacy visit at month six using the Rescored modified International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale compared to placebo, did not reach statistical significance. As a result, the Company took actions to preserve cash, including reductions in staff, as it explores strategic options. The reduced headcount, combined with accounting and strategic complexities that arose from the Phase 3 study results, has delayed the Company’s normal financial close and disclosure preparation procedures. The Company currently expects to file the Annual Report within the extension period of fifteen calendar days permitted under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
