## Article Body
Soleno Therapeutics, Inc. (“Soleno”) (NASDAQ: SLNO), a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics for the treatment of rare diseases, announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase and that it has entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase Agreement (“ASR”) with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) to repurchase $100 million of Soleno’s common stock.

“These actions demonstrate our confidence in our commercial launch and the compelling opportunity for VYKAT XR to become a foundational therapy for patients with hyperphagia associated with Prader Willi syndrome,” said Dr. Anish Bhatnagar, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Soleno Therapeutics. “We achieved profitability in the third quarter of 2025 and we believe the expected future cash generation profile of our business is significantly underappreciated by the capital markets and that repurchasing shares of Soleno is a compelling and attractive opportunity.”

Under the ASR agreement, the company will make an initial payment of $100 million with an initial delivery of approximately 1,511,553 shares based on Soleno’s closing price on November 10, 2025. The final number of shares repurchased under the ASR will be based on the average of the volume-weighted price of Soleno’s common stock during the term of the transaction and will be subject to adjustments related to the terms and conditions of the ASR agreement. The ASR is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026.
