Astrogen, inc. Participates in the 2024 World Autism Awareness Day Campaign
April 2nd is recognized globally as 'World Autism Awareness Day' by the United Nations (UN). Established in 2007, this day aims to enhance public understanding and awareness of autism, facilitating the inclusion of individuals with autism in society. Astrogen Co., Ltd. annually participates in the international 'Light it up blue' campaign, which symbolizes support and understanding for autism through the color blue. In 2024, we displayed blue banners at our corporate headquarters and distributed blue stickers to each department, aligning with the 'Light it up blue' campaign to signify our commitment to autism awareness and understanding. Furthermore, this year, we visited a local autism development center to express our support and delivered small gifts. As we support the development of Astrogen's first pipeline, AST-001, we aspire to contribute to a society where, through sustained social solidarity, we can coexist harmoniously with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families.

Comforting Gift for Parents of Children with Developmental Challenges
Astrogen organized a book donation event to provide emotional support to parents raising children with developmental disabilities. For this event, we collected book requests from parents of children with developmental disabilities. Our dedicated employees voluntarily pooled their personal funds to purchase these books. Each book was carefully wrapped and accompanied by a brief handwritten note, then delivered to the parents. This event, in conjunction with Astrogen Inc.'s first pipeline effort to develop a treatment for autism spectrum disorder, was a meaningful time to express solidarity with caregivers looking after their ailing children.
