Cingulate files to sell 3.5M shares of common stock for holders

On Tuesday, March 17th, 2026, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a Notice of Allowance for a patent application covering Cingulate's lead ADHD candidate, CTx-1301, indicating that the agency has completed its examination and determined that the claims are allowable. Upon issuance, the patent is expected to provide protection through May 2042 for key aspects of CTx-1301's formulation and method of use, further strengthening Cingulate's intellectual property portfolio surrounding its Precision Timed Release platform, which is designed to enable the development of next-generation therapeutics with customized release profiles.

Cingulate CEO Shane Schaffer stated, "Cingulate delivered on key inflection points throughout 2025 and this continues into 2026. Cingulate is proud to announce that CTx-1301 has strengthened its patent estate. We have demonstrated that CTx-1301 utilizing the PTR Platform does something meaningfully different in the treatment of ADHD, and these improvements are now recognized by patent offices in the United States as well as major territories around the world. We've spent years building the PTR platform which exclusively delivers medication how and when patients need it most, and we're continuing to work constructively with the FDA as it evaluates our application for approval. While we advance CTx-1301 through the regulatory review process, our Company has strengthened its financial and operational foundation. At the same time, we are advancing our commercial readiness and manufacturing scale-up, so we're well positioned to support commercial launch, pending approval. With the support of our recent financing and the addition of experienced commercial leadership, we believe we're taking the right steps to build long-term value for both patients and shareholders."
