APRE Aprea Therapeutics Inc

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Aprea Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) is aware that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (“FDIC”) has taken control of Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) as of Friday, March 10, 2023. On Sunday, March 12, 2023, the U.S. Department of Treasury, Federal Reserve and FDIC jointly announced that the FDIC will fully protect all depositors at SVB. The Company currently maintains approximately $1.5 million in cash deposits at SVB and approximately $28.9 million in a money market mutual fund purchased through SVB but managed by a third-party asset manager. The Company believes that the funds held in the money market mutual fund belong to the Company and are not considered deposits. Therefore, the Company expects to have access to the full amount of the funds held in the money market mutual fund, but the timing and process for accessing such funds is not clear as of the time of filing this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information furnished under this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or subject to the liabilities of that section. The information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Company, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
