State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Aceragen, Inc. (formerly known as Idera Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) (the “Company”) has determined that it will not be able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”) by March 31, 2023, the prescribed due date for such filing. The Company requires additional time to finalize and review its consolidated financial statements and complete its financial statement close process, primarily related to addressing the accounting for the acquisition of Aceragen, Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. As a result, the Company is unable to file the Form 10-K by the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort or expense.

If answer is no, identify report(s).

(3)

Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

 Yes     No

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.


The Company expects to report a loss from operations of approximately $27.8 million for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 compared to a loss from operations of approximately $27.7 million for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The Company expects to report net loss of approximately $23.4 million for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 compared to net income of $98.1 million for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The Company expects to report net loss attributable to common stockholders for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 of approximately $23.4 million, or $(7.18) per basic and diluted share, compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $96.9 million, or $33.49 per basic share and ($9.78) per diluted share, for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to non-cash warrant and future tranche right revaluation gains totaling approximately $125.8 million recognized during the 2021 period which were not incurred during the 2022 period. Excluding the non-cash gain of approximately $125.8 million, net loss applicable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $28.8 million.
