Points Program update: slashing results
5,038,989 points generated through inorganic or manipulative activity have been excluded from Points Program balances.
The adjustment covered:
• 4,017 affected accounts
• 35 identified sybil operations, among other prohibited activities
Updated Points Program total: 64,673,031 points as of August 10, 2026.
The review covered cross-account wash trading, referral self-farming, sybil wallet fleets and coordinated multi-account activity. Adjustments were driven by quantitative rules under the Points Program terms, while legitimate activity was preserved.
The 5,038,987 slashed points have been returned to the program budget and remain available to be earned by genuine participants. Extended reserves the right to conduct further reviews and make additional adjustments where ineligible activity is identified.
The total Points Program distribution remains capped at no more than 70m points.
Points are programme units, have no guaranteed monetary value and do not create a present entitlement to tokens or other rewards. Programme terms, eligibility criteria and allocation methodology may change.

Sellside comments re: the 1.14 event rate ratio from the stabilizer (combo) arm of the CARDIO-TTRansform study:
Paul Matteis, Stifel
"While minimal benefit was largely expected for the eplontersen/tafamidis combo arm in CARDIO-TTRansform, it's an incremental surprise to see that the combination had a hazard ratio of 1.14--clearly worse than expected."
Michael Leuchten, Jefferies:
"The presentation showed a treatment effect of rate ratio (RR) 1.14 for the baseline stabiliser group vs overall RR of 0.89, with a strong enough interaction p-value (0.017) suggesting a potential differential treatment effect between patients without stabiliser at baseline. The primary endpoint curves in patients that were on stabilisers at baseline do not show an improvement over time, if anything there is a worsening rate in the combination group."
Cory Kasimov, Evercore:
"...the 1.14 RR in pts on baseline stabilizers was the key metric investors cared about most coming in and will likely not be viewed favorably as it relates to implications for ALNY. At first glance, the results appear less suggestive of a trial-design issue and more consistent with a potential limitation to the incremental benefit of dual therapy with silencers and stabilizers, further entrenching the competitive positioning of the stabilizer class."
