NexImmune, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with respect to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“Form 10-K”). As previously disclosed, the Company announced a reduction-in-force of substantially all of the Company’s employees, other than key members of management and the scientific team necessary to support the ongoing efforts to maximize the value of the Company’s business and assets. As a result, the Company has had fewer resources supporting the preparation and review of the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and is unable to file, without unreasonable effort or expense, its Form 10-K within the prescribed time period. The Company currently expects to file its Form 10-K within the fifteen-day extension period provided under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Forward looking statements are based on current expectations, but are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated, including but not limited to risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s resources. There can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will be achieved, and actual results could differ materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements.
