Galera Therapeutics, Inc. (“Galera” or the “Company”) is filing this Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with respect to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024 (the “Quarterly Report”). As previously announced, on August 8, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution (“Plan of Dissolution”), which provides for the dissolution of the Company under Delaware law and sought stockholder approval of the Plan of Dissolution at a special meeting of stockholders held on October 17, 2024 (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders did not approve the Plan of Dissolution. Given the Company’s lack of resources, the Company was unable to file its Quarterly Report within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense.

The Company’s results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 may differ significantly from its results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 due to adverse developments that occurred with respect to the Company’s business, including the cessation of research and development activities. Due to the exploration of strategic alternatives, including the Plan of Dissolution, the Company is not able to provide an estimate of results of operations at this time.
