Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Aardvark To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options If you purchased or acquired securities in (a) Aardvark common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the Offering Documents (defined below) issued in connection with the Company's initial public offering conducted on or about February 13, 2025 (the "IPO" or "Offering"); and/or (b) Aardvark securities between February 13, 2025 and May 14, 2026, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period") and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310) . Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP , a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Aardvark Therapeutics, Inc. ("Aardvark" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: AARD) and reminds investors of the October 13, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company. The complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that the Offering Documents were negligently prepared and, as a result, contained untrue statements of material fact or omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading and were not prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations governing their preparation. Additionally, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the Offering Documents and Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) ARD-101 was less safe than Defendants had led investors to believe; (2) accordingly, ARD-101's clinical, regulatory, and commercial prospects were overstated; and (3) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. On February 13, 2025, Aardvark filed a prospectus on Form 424B4 with the SEC in connection with the IPO, which incorporated and formed part of the Registration Statement (the "Prospectus" and, collectively with the Registration Statement, the "Offering Documents").

Pursuant to the Offering Documents, Aardvark issued 5,888,000 shares of its common stock to the public at the Offering price of $16.00 per share for proceeds of $87,613,440, after underwriting discounts and commissions. The truth began to emerge on February 27, 2026, when Aardvark issued a press release "announc[ing] it is voluntarily pausing the Phase 3 Hunger Elimination or Reduction Objective (HERO) trial." Aardvark attributed the decision to "reversible cardiac observations at above target therapeutic doses found during routine safety monitoring in a healthy volunteer study" and said that it "has voluntarily paused ongoing enrollment and dosing in the HERO trial" while "conducting a comprehensive review of the data to inform next steps." On this news, Aardvark's stock price fell $7.02 per share, or 56.2%, to close at $5.47 per share on March 2, 2026. Then, on May 14, 2026, Aardvark issued a press release "announc[ing] that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has placed a full clinical hold on its investigational new drug application (IND) for ARD-101 related to the Company's previously announced voluntary pau...
