Item 8.01. Other Events.

Cytokinetics, Incorporated (the “Registrant” or “Cytokinetics”) and Cure SMA today announced the renewal of their partnership to increase education, awareness, public policy and fundraising for spinal muscular atrophy (“SMA”). Cytokinetics will lend support for several of Cure SMA’s upcoming initiatives across the United States and continues as a member of the Cure SMA Industry Collaboration, a partnership between Cure SMA and pharmaceutical companies to address topics critical to advancing drug development in SMA. Cytokinetics remains committed to serving those living with SMA, a genetic disease that robs people of their physical strength and can take away their ability to walk, eat or breathe.

Cytokinetics will sponsor two events to help fundraise and increase awareness of SMA in the local community. In September, Cytokinetics will participate as a sponsor of the Virtual Walk-n-Roll program where SMA families will be walking and rolling around their neighborhoods for Cure SMA. Then, in October, Cytokinetics will support Cure SMA’s Evening of Hope: A Virtual Masquerade, an evening of inspiration, celebration, and hope uniting the SMA community across the country.

Additionally, Cytokinetics is pleased to continue its membership in the Cure SMA Industry Collaboration, which brings together pharmaceutical companies, Cure SMA, and other non-profit organizations, to address critical issues related to advancing drug development in SMA. Cytokinetics is actively involved in topic groups focused on regulatory affairs, clinical trials and patient reported data.
