Existing evidence is derived from post hoc or exploratory pooled analyses across two studies Cognitive benefit remains unproven ~30% show no meaningful response to treatment (1) ~40-50% experience an inadequate response to standard of care (1) ~70% discontinue oral therapies within 18 months, often due to burdensome side effects (e.g., EPS, weight gain) (2) Patients Remain Underserved by Current SOC Antipsychotics… 2024: First New Mechanism Approved in Decades (Cobenfy) …Yet Significant Treatment Gaps Still Remain After First Muscarinic Approval Failure to achieve adequate therapeutic exposure may leave symptoms insufficiently controlled (3) Many patients cannot reach or remain at target dose Tolerability challenges observed in controlled trials amplified in practice, given dosing / fasting complexity (3) Tolerability burden is exacerbated in real world Unmet Need in Schizophrenia Remains High Affects Over 20 Million People Globally, Including More Than 3 Million in the U.S. SOC = standard of care; EPS = extrapyramidal symptoms.

Slide 13

Implications of Cognitive Signal Beyond ZEPHYR Supports Rationale for VISTA and Broader Development Cognitive impairment is estimated to affect >80% of patients with schizophrenia (1) Cognitive impairment is a major determinant of long-term functional outcomes, including employment, independent living and quality of life Despite decades of research, no therapies have been approved to treat cognitive impairment in schizophrenia Highlights both the unmet need and the difficulty of demonstrating meaningful cognitive benefit Sedation and dopamine blockade from many SOC antipsychotics may worsen cognition Cognitive Impairment Remains an Unmet Need The Signal Supports the Underlying Biology The cognitive benefit was observed on a prespecified secondary endpoint Change in the cognitive composite score was independent of changes in PANSS, suggesting it was not simply driven by better control of psychotic symptoms The finding is consistent with the established role of M1 receptor activation in learning and memory, strengthening confidence in the underlying mechanism Why This Matters for VISTA (3) and Future Development A positive cognitive signal observed outside AD increases confidence that the biology translates across neuropsychiatric populations Off-label use of antipsychotics in ADP has been associated with accelerated cognitive decline (CATIE-AD), highlighting the need for new therapies (2) The 210/3 mg BID dose currently being evaluated in VISTA is the same dose that demonstrated cognitive benefit in ZEPHYR Maroney, Ment Health Clin. 2022.

ML-007C-MA Was Generally Well Tolerated Single serious adverse event occurred in placebo arm was worsening schizophrenia. Adverse events, primarily cholinergic in nature, were mostly mild No serious or drug-related severe TEAEs occurred with either dose (1) The only severe TEAE (pneumonia) was assessed as unrelated to study drug There were no instances of failure to reach target dose due to tolerability Dose reduction due to TEAE was infrequent (4 participants); TEAEs leading to dose reduction started in the first week, and most (75%) completed treatment following dose reduction Low rates of moderate GI side-effects Low rates of discontinuation (2 participants) due to gastrointestinal adverse events No urinary retention signal observed: The active and placebo arms each had a single moderate urinary event (UTI) No metabolic, hepatic, or EPS signals observed: mean weight, glucose, lipid, liver enzyme, and movement-related parameters remained comparable to placebo Heart rate increases were mild and consistent with the fesoterodine label, with no evidence of significant blood pressure elevation Adverse Events Mostly Mild GI Events Rarely Led to Discontinuation with BID Dosing No Signal Across Key Safety Domains

Screening Period (Day -35 to -1) Blinded Treatment Period (Day 1 to 49) Follow-up Period (7 + 2 days after last dose) Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 5 Week 7 ML-007C-MA 210/3mg BID (n=150) Primary Endpoint Week 1 105/1.5mg BID Weeks 2-7 210/3mg BID (1) Placebo BID (n=150) N = 300 Randomized 1:1 Sites: 100 (global) Topline results expected in 2H 2027 VISTA Study Outline Designed and Sized to Serve as a Registrational Study NPI-C A+A = Neuropsychiatric Inventory Clinician, Agitation and Aggression; NPI-C H+D = Neuropsychiatric Inventory Clinician, Hallucinations and Delusions. Increase to the target dose of 210/3 mg BID at Week 1, unless the participant is experiencing tolerability issues that, in the investigator’s opinion, would preclude a higher dose. Every effort should be made to increase to the target dose as soon as possible up until Week 3. One-time dose reduction to 105/1.5 mg allowed for tolerability.
