The purchase follows the Company’s $15 million registered direct offering announced on September 9, 2026, and extends a series of open-market purchases by NeOnc’s senior leadership since the Company reported positive topline Phase 2a results for intranasal NEO100 on August 12, 2026. Since that announcement, Mr. Heshmatpour has purchased 111,000 shares for a total of approximately $418,700, at an average cost of approximately $3.77 per share. Thomas C. Chen, MD, PhD, Founder, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Scientific Officer, has purchased 49,016 shares for approximately $210,000. Together, the two executives have purchased 160,016 shares for approximately $629,000 in the open market, as reflected in Form 4 filings with the SEC, including the Form 4 to be filed for the September 15 purchases.

"The strength of our Phase 2a results reinforces my conviction in NeOnc’s mission and the potential of our NEO platform," said Mr. Heshmatpour. "With my most recent open-market purchases, I have now invested more than $1.5 million of my personal funds in NeOnc shares over the past year. This is a personal investment in our mission, our patients and the long-term value we are working to build alongside our shareholders."

The NEO100-01 Phase 2a study met its primary endpoint, with six-month progression-free survival of 48.9% versus a pre-specified 20% benchmark for standard of care (p = 0.0047), and median overall survival of 26.09 months. The Company’s second clinical program, NEO212, has completed Phase 1 dose escalation and established a recommended Phase 2 dose.

All purchases were made in the open market using personal funds.
