VANCOUVER,
B.C., Grapevine, TX, March 26, 2026. Alpha Cognition Inc. (ACOG: NASDAQ) (“Alpha Cognition”, “ACI”,
or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics for debilitating neurodegenerative disorders,
today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, and provided a business update.
“2025
was a year of strong commercial execution for Alpha Cognition as we continued to build momentum for ZUNVEYL – the first new oral
Alzheimer’s treatment approved in more than 15 years. In the fourth quarter, we saw strong growth in demand, with December representing
our strongest month since launch. We’re encouraged by the increasing rates of repeat ordering, indicating ZUNVEYL is moving beyond
initial trial and becoming increasingly integrated into routine management in long-term care,” said Michael McFadden, Chief Executive
Officer of Alpha Cognition.
“Importantly,
we also executed a second national PBM contract, bringing us to two of the four major PBMs relevant to long-term care. Combined with
the consistent clinical feedback we’re hearing on ZUNVEYL’s tolerability and behavioral profile, we believe we are well positioned
to continue driving adoption as payer pull-through improves in 2026. We enter the year well-capitalized and focused on expanding our
commercial footprint, deepening prescriber engagement, and advancing toward operational profitability in 2027.”

About
Alpha Cognition Inc.
Alpha
Cognition Inc. is a commercial stage, biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing treatments for patients suffering from neurodegenerative
diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Cognitive Impairment with mild Traumatic Brain Injury (“mTBI”), for which
there are currently no approved treatment options.
ZUNVEYL
is a patented drug approved as a new generation acetylcholinesterase inhibitor for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, with expected
minimal gastrointestinal side effects. ZUNVEYL’s active metabolite is differentiated from donepezil and rivastigmine in that it
binds neuronal nicotinic receptors, most notably the alpha-7 subtype, which is known to have a positive effect on cognition. ALPHA-1062
is also being developed in combination with memantine to treat moderate to severe Alzheimer’s dementia, and as an intranasal formulation
for Cognitive Impairment with mTBI.

INDICATION
AND USAGE
ZUNVEYL
is a cholinesterase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer’s type in adults.
IMPORTANT
SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS
ZUNVEYL
is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to benzgalantamine, galantamine, or to any inactive ingredients in ZUNVEYL.
Serious skin reactions have occurred.
WARNINGS
AND PRECAUTIONS
Serious
Skin Reactions: Serious skin reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis) have been reported
in patients receiving galantamine (the active metabolite of ZUNVEYL tablets). If signs or symptoms suggest a serious skin reaction, use
of this drug should not be resumed, and alternative therapy should be considered.

Anesthesia:
See Drug Interactions Section
Cardiovascular
Conditions: Cholinesterase inhibitors, including ZUNVEYL, have vagotonic effects on the sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes, leading
to bradycardia and AV block. Bradycardia and all types of heart block have been reported in patients taking cholinesterase inhibitors,
both with and without known underlying cardiac conduction abnormalities. Therefore, all patients should be considered at risk for adverse
effects on cardiac conduction.
Patients
treated with galantamine up to 24 mg/day using the recommended dosing schedule showed a dose-related increase in risk of syncope.
Gastrointestinal
Conditions: Cholinesterase inhibitors, including ZUNVEYL, may increase gastric acid secretion. Patients should be monitored closely
for active or occult gastrointestinal bleeding, especially those with a history of ulcer disease or those receiving concurrent nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Clinical studies of galantamine have shown no increase, relative to placebo, in the incidence of either
peptic ulcer disease or gastrointestinal bleeding.
Galantamine
has been shown to produce nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, and weight loss. Monitor the patient’s weight during therapy with
ZUNVEYL
Genitourinary
Conditions: Although this was not observed in clinical trials with galantamine, cholinesterase inhibitors, including ZUNVEYL, may
cause bladder outflow obstruction.
Neurological
Conditions: Cholinesterase inhibitors are believed to have some potential to cause generalized convulsions. Seizure activity may
also be a manifestation of Alzheimer’s disease. Patients with Alzheimer’s disease should be monitored closely for seizures
while taking ZUNVEYL.
Pulmonary
Conditions: Cholinesterase inhibitors, including ZUNVEYL, should be prescribed with care to patients with a history of severe asthma
or obstructive pulmonary disease. Monitor for respiratory adverse reactions.
ADVERSE
REACTIONS
The
most common adverse reactions with galantamine tablets (≥5%) were nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, and decreased appetite.
DRUG
INTERACTIONS
Use
with Anticholinergics: Galantamine has the potential to interfere with the activity of anticholinergic medications.
Use
with Cholinomimetics and Other Cholinesterase Inhibitors: A synergistic effect is expected when cholinesterase inhibitors are given
concurrently with succinylcholine, other cholinesterase inhibitors, similar neuromuscular blocking agents or cholinergic agonists such
as bethanechol.
USE
IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Pregnancy:
Based on animal data may cause fetal harm.
Hepatic
Impairment: In patients with moderate hepatic impairment, a decrease in clearance of galantamine was observed; therefore, a dosage
adjustment is recommended. Use of ZUNVEYL in patients with severe hepatic impairment is not recommended.
Renal
Impairment: In patients with a creatinine clearance of 9 to 59 mL/min, an increase in exposure of galantamine was observed; therefore,
a dosage adjustment is recommended. Use of ZUNVEYL in patients with creatinine clearance less than 9 mL/min is not recommended.
These
are not all of the possible side effects of ZUNVEYL. You can report side effects to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/MedWatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Note
regarding Key Performance Indicators
As
the company began commercial sales of ZUNVEYL in 2025, management has identified several key performance indicators that it utilizes
to assess the progress of commercialization and sale of ZUNVEYL and the success of its operations period over period. These key performance
indicators include bottles dispensed, number of prescribers, homes and unique facilities engaged. These indicators are defined below
along with management’s reasons for focusing on these indicators.
“Bottles
dispensed” refers to the number of 30-day prescriptions of ZUNVEYL filled during a given period. This data is sourced from third-party
providers. Reported figures reflect the bottles recorded as dispensed within that period based on management’s review of the data.
Because the data may be updated over time, actual totals may vary slightly.

Management
considers bottles dispensed a key performance metric because it closely reflects real-world product usage and is a meaningful indicator
of ZUNVEYL’s commercial performance and the Company’s operational progress.
“Prescribers”
refers to the number of healthcare providers actively writing prescriptions for ZUNVEYL at the end of a reported period. This data is
sourced from third-party providers and is evaluated on a weekly basis. The reported number reflects prescriber activity at a specific
point in time and may not represent the total number of prescribers throughout the entire period.
Management
considers prescribers a key metric because it indicates the level of commercial adoption of ZUNVEYL among healthcare providers and helps
assess the potential for future growth in bottles dispensed.
“Homes”
refers to the number of long-term care facilities where medical staff have prescribed ZUNVEYL to patients residing in those facilities.
“Unique facilities engaged” refers to the number of long-term care facilities with which the Company’s sales team has
had discussions regarding prescribing ZUNVEYL.
This
data is sourced from third-party providers. Reported figures may vary from actual totals as data is updated over time.
Management
considers homes and unique facilities engaged to be key performance metrics, as they reflect the effectiveness of the Company’s
sales efforts in reaching potential prescribers and expanding coverage within the long-term care market.
