Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On January 10, 2025, Disc Medicine, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release outlining the Company’s recent pipeline and operational progress and strategic priorities for 2025. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

The information contained in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly provided by specific reference in such filing. The Company undertakes no obligation to update, supplement or amend the material attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Company expects to report a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. This material weakness is related to a lack of design and maintenance of effective Information Technology General Controls (“ITGC”) over certain key financial IT systems. As a result, the related business process controls (IT application controls and IT-dependent manual controls) that are dependent on the ineffective ITGCs, or that use information produced from the systems impacted by the ineffective ITGCs, were also ineffective. To date, the Company has not identified any misstatements in its financial statements.

 

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm has not completed its audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and, accordingly, does not express an opinion on or any other assessment of it.
