Insider sales (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (NGNE)
3 of 3 under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (scheduled in advance). Unplanned sales were timed by the insider.
| Trade date | Insider | Role | Shares | Value | % of holdings sold | 10b5-1 plan | Insider type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-07-06…2026-07-07 | Cvijic Christine Mikail | President and CFO | 4,800 | $173K | 5.4% | Yes (adopted August 18, 2025) | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023) |
| 2026-07-01…2026-07-02 | Cvijic Christine Mikail | President and CFO | 4,800 | $167K | 5.1% | Yes (adopted August 18, 2025) | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023) |
| 2026-05-06 | Cvijic Christine Mikail | President and CFO | 9,600 | $300K | 9.3% | Yes (adopted August 18, 2025) | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023) |
% of holdings sold = shares sold ÷ (shares sold + all holdings the insider reported on that Form 4, direct and through trusts).
Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.

From Neurogene Inc.'s Latest SEC 10-K Filing (filed 2026-03-24)
Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)
- The benefits of Breakthrough Therapy designation include eligibility for Priority Review, rolling submission of sections of the Biologics License Application and the FDA's organizational commitment to help determine an efficient route to approval.
- We actively seek to protect our proprietary technology, inventions, and other intellectual property that is commercially important to the development of our business by a variety of means, including seeking, maintaining, and defending patent rights, whether developed internally or licensed from third parties.
- We also may rely on trade secrets and know-how relating to our proprietary technology platform, including our EXACT platform technology, on continuing technological innovation and on in-licensing opportunities that may be important for the development of our business to develop, strengthen and maintain the strength of our position in the field of gene therapy.
- One approach we are taking harnesses our proprietary transgene regulation technology, EXACTTM (Expression Attenuation via Construct Tuning), that utilizes microRNA-based genetic circuits designed to deliver therapeutic levels of transgene to key areas of the brain that underlie neurological disease pathology.
Partnerships
- In September 2020, we entered into a Non-Exclusive License Agreement with Virovek, Inc., pursuant to which we have a license to use certain patents and know-how on a non-exclusive basis related to our baculovirus process in exchange for low single-digit percentage royalties on future commercial net sales of each product using the baculovirus process, development milestone payments of up to $0.2 million in the aggregate, and a nonrefundable annual license fee.
- In January 2023, we entered into a Non-Exclusive License Agreement with Sigma-Aldrich Co.
Legal & Regulatory Risks (Item 1A, quoted)
- We are unable to predict the extent to which the current U.S. federal administration may impose or seek to impose additional leadership or policy changes at the U.S. federal regulatory agencies responsible for regulating our business or changes to rules and policies impacting our operations.
- We may not be able to meet requirements for the chemistry, manufacturing and control of our product candidates.
- We have in the past and may in the future conduct clinical trials for our product candidates at sites outside the United States, and the FDA may not accept data from trials conducted in such locations.
- We conducted parts of our Phase 1/2 clinical trials for NGN-101 and NGN-401 outside of the United States, and may in the future conduct additional clinical trials for our products at sites outside of the United States, including in Australia, the UK, Europe or other foreign jurisdictions.
