Relentlessly Progressive ALSP Progression 75% survival for approximately 3 years, 50% for 5 years, 25% for 10 years and < 5% for 30 years Papapetropoulos et al. American Academy of Neurology Conference 2022 Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival probability (%) and number of patients at risk of death following diagnosis at 10-year intervals were performed with survival time and disease duration related to age of onset of symptoms in patients with ALSP1

Vigil’s ILLUMINATE & IGNITE Interim Data – Key Takeaways ILLUMINATE & IGNITE represent 1st ever trials of their kind in ALSP Increasing overall understanding of disease pathophysiology, and biomarkers for disease progression and treatment response Positive interim data on VGL101’s potential as treatment for ALSP, a devastating disease with no approved therapy Favorable safety and tolerability with an accessible once monthly IV administration Observed differential sCSF1R response in ALSP patients (vs HVs), indicating rescue of microglial activity in ALSP setting Very encouraging changes in MRI and NfL at 6 months compare favorably vs HSCT Indicating impact on disease progression 5 out of 6 patients showed reduction in rate of ventricular expansion Slowing or reduction in ventricular expansion are clinically relevant Even when it works, HSCT needs at least 1 year for observable MRI changes with significant safety/tolerability risks 4 out of 6 patients showed reduction in NfL trajectory in serum or CSF, indicating an impact on neuronal degeneration 1st targeted therapeutic candidate with clinical data in ALSP patients 1st data on TREM2 agonism as a therapeutic approach in a neurodegenerative disease setting Excited to continue to participate in IGNITE to generate more data and further evaluate this candidate

Iluzanebart (VGL101): The Only Targeted Therapeutic in Development for ALSP © Vigil Neuroscience, Inc. 2023. All rights reserved. First company to show clinical data on TREM2 agonism as a potential therapeutic approach in patients with a neurodegenerative disease   VGL101 demonstrated favorable safety and tolerability, including no hematologic adverse events Clear CNS target engagement and downstream pharmacological activity at 20 mg/kg consistent with Phase 1 data Directionally supportive changes in individual patients at 6 months on MRI and NfL biomarkers Natural History Study continued to provide critical insights on MRI and NfL biomarkers; sCSF1R emerging as key biomarker of ALSP disease pathology   Phase 2 IGNITE results from all patients in 20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg cohorts at 6 months expected in Q3 2024
