EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Spyre Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2024 (the “Original Filing”). This Amendment is being filed for the sole purposes of amending “Item 15. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules” under Part IV of the Original Filing to insert hyperlinks to exhibits that were incorporated by reference to the Original Filing, which hyperlinks were not included in the Original Filing. Except as noted above, this Amendment does not update or modify any disclosures in or reflect any events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing.
In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), new certifications by the Company’s principal executive officers and principal financial officer are filed herewith as exhibits to this Amendment pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) or 15d-14(a) of the Exchange Act. As no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and it does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 or 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. The Company is not including certifications pursuant to Section 1350 of Chapter 63 of Title 18 of the United States Code (18 U.S.C. 1350) as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment.
