EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Entrada Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 6, 2023, (the “Original 10-K”), solely for the purpose of filing revised versions of Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 filed with the Original 10-K.

 

The Company is filing revised Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 solely in order to include certification language that was inadvertently omitted from such exhibits when originally filed: (i) the introductory language in paragraph 4 that refers to the certifying officer’s responsibility for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting for the Company; and (ii) paragraph 4(b) regarding the design of internal control over financial reporting. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment, paragraph 3 of the Section 302 certifications has been omitted. Except as described above, the Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the date of the filing of the Original 10-K or modify or update any of the other disclosures contained therein in any way. Accordingly, the Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original 10-K. The Amendment consists solely of the preceding cover page, this explanatory note, the signature page and paragraphs 1, 2, 4 and 5 of each of the revised certifications filed as exhibits to the Amendment.
