On January 16, 2024, Alector, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its preliminary estimate of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of December 31, 2023. Based upon preliminary estimates and information available to the Company as of the date of this Form 8-K, it had approximately $549 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of December 31, 2023, which the Company believes will enable it to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the second half of 2026. The Company has not yet completed its quarter-end or year-end financial close processes for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023. This estimate of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of December 31, 2023 is preliminary, has not been audited, and is subject to change upon completion of its financial statement closing procedures. Additional information and disclosure would be required for a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2023. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, or performed any procedures with respect to this preliminary information and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance about it.
The information contained in this Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as shall be expressly stated by specific reference in such filing.
