(Nasdaq: NAMS or “NewAmsterdam” or the “Company”), a late-stage, clinical biopharmaceutical company developing oral, non-statin medicines for patients at risk of cardiovascular disease (“CVD”) with elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (“LDL-C”), for whom existing therapies are not sufficiently effective or well-tolerated, today announced financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2025 and provided a corporate update. “2025 marked a year of meaningful clinical and regulatory progress for NewAmsterdam, as we advanced our mission to bring a potentially transformative therapy with obicetrapib to cardiometabolic disease patients who continue to struggle to reach their LDL-C goals,” said Michael Davidson, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of NewAmsterdam. “Marketing Authorization Applications for obicetrapib and the fixed dose combination were accepted for review by the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), Switzerland, and United Kingdom regulators, and we anticipate a decision from each in the second half of 2026. In parallel, together with our partner Menarini, we are actively preparing for a potential commercial launch in Europe. In the United States, we continue to expand our commercial capabilities with the notable hiring of Steve Albers, former senior vice president of market access and public affairs at Novo Nordisk, who will now lead our market access and public affairs efforts, further strengthening our established team.” “At the same time, we remain focused and well positioned to execute our clinical development strategy, including the advancement of obicetrapib in our three ongoing Phase 3 trials: PREVAIL, REMBRANT and RUBENS. In December 2025, we initiated the RUBENS trial, which will evaluate obicetrapib alone and in combination with ezetimibe in patients with type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome that require additional lowering of LDL-C despite treatment with available therapy, with topline data expected by year-end 2026. Our PREVAIL cardiovascular outcomes trial continues to progress well, where the overall blinded MACE event rate in PREVAIL through the initial 12-months was in line with what we observed in BROADWAY. NewAmsterdam continues to operate from a position of financial strength, with cash runway expected to be sufficient to fund operations through the PREVAIL readout and, if approved, support the subsequent U.S. commercial launch. Additionally, following positive biomarker results from the Alzheimer’s disease analysis in the BROADWAY trial, we plan to initiate a new clinical trial evaluating obicetrapib in early Alzheimer’s disease patients this year.” Clinical Development and Regulatory Updates NewAmsterdam is developing obicetrapib, an oral, low-dose and once-daily, highly-selective cholesteryl ester transfer protein (“CETP”) inhibitor, as a monotherapy and in fixed-dose combination with ezetimibe, as the preferred LDL-C lowering therapy to be used in patients at risk of CVD for whom existing therapies are not sufficiently effective or well-tolerated. In August 2025, NewAmsterdam announced acceptance of MAAs for review by the EMA for obicetrapib 10 mg monotherapy and 10 mg obicetrapib plus 10 mg ezetimibe FDC for patients with primary hypercholesterolemia, both heterozygous familial (“HeFH”) and non-familial or mixed dyslipidemia. Subsequently, MAAs were also submitted to regulators in UK and Switzerland and accepted for review. The MAAs were submitted by NewAmsterdam’s partner, A. Menarini International Licensing S.A. (“Menarini”), who is responsible for communications with regulatory authorities in Europe and for the commercialization and local development of obicetrapib in Europe and other collaborative activities pursuant to an exclusive License Agreement (the “Menarini License”). NewAmsterdam is entitled to tiered double-digit percentage royalties ranging from the low double-digits to mid-twenties on net sales in the European countries covered by the Menarini License and up to an additional €833 million upon the achievement of various clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones.In August 2025, NewAmsterdam presented pooled data from its pivotal Phase 3 BROADWAY and BROOKLYN trials on the impact of obicetrapib on major adverse cardiovascular events at the European Society of Cardiology Congress (“ESC”) 2025, along with the simultaneous publication in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, highlighting obicetrapib’s performance across diverse lipid-lowering backgrounds observed in these trials. The presentation and publication underscore the Company’s continued momentum in advancing obicetrapib as a differentiated oral therapy for patients with elevated LDL-C.In June and July 2025, NewAmsterdam announced positive data from the prespecified AD biomarker analysis in the BROADWAY clinical trial and presented at the 2025 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (“AAIC”). The pre-specified analysis was conducted to assess the effect of obicetrapib on plasma biomarkers of AD in both the full analysis set and in patients carrying the apolipoprotein E4 (“ApoE4”) gene, based on phenotypic analysis. NewAmsterdam observed statistically significant reductions in p-tau217, a key biomarker of AD pathology, in both the full analysis set (p
