ABOUT ELEDON PHARMACEUTICALS

Overview

Eledon is a clinical stage biotechnology company using our immunology expertise in targeting the CD40 Ligand (“CD40L”) pathway to develop therapies to protect transplanted organs and prevent rejection, and to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Our lead compound in development is tegoprubart, an IgG1, anti-CD40L antibody with high affinity for the CD40L, a well-validated biological target that we believe has broad therapeutic potential. We believe the central role of CD40L signaling in both adaptive and innate immune cell activation and function positions it as an attractive target for non-lymphocyte depleting, immunomodulatory therapeutic intervention.

Tegoprubart is engineered to potentially both improve safety and provide pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and dosing advantages compared to other anti-CD40 approaches. The CD40L/CD40 pathway is recognized for its prominent role in immune regulation. CD40L is primarily expressed on activated CD4+ T cells, platelets and endothelial cells while the CD40 receptor is constitutively expressed on antigen presenting cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells, as well as B cells. By blocking CD40L and not the CD40 receptor, tegoprubart inhibits both the CD40 and CD11 costimulatory signaling pathways, providing the potential for improved efficacy compared to anti-CD40 receptor approaches. Blocking CD40L also increases polarization of CD4+ lymphocytes to Tregs, a specialized subpopulation of T cells that act to suppress an immune response, thus creating a more tolerogenic environment, which may play a therapeutic role in autoimmune diseases and in the prevention of allograft rejection after solid organ transplantation.

Tegoprubart is designed to negate the risk of thrombolytic events seen in the first generation of anti-CD40L antibodies by introducing structural modifications that have been shown in preclinical models to eliminate binding to the Fcγ receptors associated with platelet activation without altering the binding of tegoprubart to CD40L. In non-human primate studies, dosing of tegoprubart up to 200 mg/kg per week for 26 weeks, demonstrated no adverse events regarding coagulation, platelet activation or thromboembolism.

Strategy

Our business strategy is to optimize the clinical and commercial value of tegoprubart and become a global biopharmaceutical company with a focused immunology franchise. Our strategy is to develop tegoprubart for the prevention of rejection of allograft (i.e., transplanting an organ from one human to another) and xenograft (i.e., transplanting an organ from an animal to a human) organs and cells, and for the treatment of ALS. We selected our indications based on preclinical and clinical data that was generated with either tegoprubart or historical anti-CD40L molecules. We remain committed to further progressing ALS clinical development; however, we are unable to continue developing tegoprubart for ALS without additional funding.

Acquisition

In September 2020, we acquired Anelixis Therapeutics, Inc. (“Anelixis”), the company that owned and controlled the intellectual property related to tegoprubart. See Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details of grants and licenses related to this acquisition.

Prior to our acquisition of Anelixis, we focused on developing medicines for patients with disorders of the ear, nose, and throat (“ENT”). In June 2020, we announced that our lead program did not achieve statistical significance for the primary

efficacy endpoints in the treatment of acute otitis media. As a result of this failure to achieve the primary study endpoint, we suspended the clinical development of our legacy ENT assets while we assessed potential development strategies. Following the June 2020 announcement, we significantly curtailed development expenses as we sought to identify strategic alternatives that would maximize stockholder value. As a result of these activities, we acquired Anelixis and raised additional capital in September 2020, as described above. After acquiring Anelixis, we terminated our ENT activities and returned our product rights to the original license holders in July 2021.

Clinical Development of Tegoprubart for the Prevention of Allograft Rejection in Kidney Transplantation

In January 2023, we announced plans to prioritize and focus resources on our kidney transplantation programs. We are first focusing on kidney transplantation as this is the most common type of solid organ transplantation in the U.S. with an estimated 270,000 Americans living with a transplanted kidney. There are an estimated 27,000 kidneys transplanted annually in the U.S. Approximately 100,000 people in the U.S. are on a waiting list where they typically wait an average 3-5 years for a kidney transplant while about 5,000 people in the U.S. in need of a kidney transplant die each year waiting for a suitable kidney. Approximately 11% of U.S. people on the waiting list are waiting for a repeat transplant. There remains a critical shortage of kidneys and other organs available for transplantation.

There has been little innovation in immunosuppression therapy for organ transplant patients over the past 30 years. The standard of care immunosuppressive drugs used post-transplant have been shown to reduce the risk of organ rejection, but they are also associated with potentially toxic side effects. Organ transplant recipients require immunosuppression on a lifelong basis, and any disruption in the immunosuppression therapy can trigger transplant rejection. Calcineurin inhibitors (“CNI”s) are a critical component of most immunosuppressive regimens to prevent acute and long-term kidney transplant rejection. However, chronic exposure to CNIs (tacrolimus is the drug most commonly used) is associated with nephrotoxicity, hypertension, new onset diabetes due to pancreatic beta cell toxicity, as well as central nervous system (“CNS”) side effects, like tremor. Over time, these CNI side effects may significantly damage the transplanted kidneys or result in a requirement for reduced exposures to CNIs which can lead to an increased risk of rejection. Moreover, CNS side effects like tremors may result in patients decreasing their adherence to their medicines. Today, an implanted kidney is expected to fail within 10-15 years on average using currently available immunosuppression options. The fact that American transplant patients are on average in their 50s means that many of them will ultimately need a second or even third transplant procedure during their lifetime or a return to dialysis.

The central role of CD40L signaling in generating pro-inflammatory responses makes it a highly attractive candidate for therapeutic intervention in the protection of transplanted organs and prevention of transplant rejection. Results from prior studies demonstrate that targeting and blocking CD40L has the potential for better efficacy and improved safety, including reduced risk of nephrotoxicity, diabetes, hypertension, and other side effects associated with standard-of-care CNIs such as tacrolimus.

Tegoprubart seeks to address challenges associated with current immunosuppressive transplantation regimens using CNI-based therapies. The ability to prevent acute and chronic transplant rejection without the need for CNIs has the potential to transform the clinical management of preventing graft rejection by mitigating the adverse events associated with CNIs and improving long-term graft survival, thus potentially decreasing the need for repeat kidney transplants and increasing organ availability for other patients on the wait list. By identifying and advancing novel strategies in immunosuppression including targeting the CD40L pathway, we may be able to help organs remain functional for longer and potentially throughout the natural lifespan of each recipient.

We have received regulatory approvals in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, for a Phase 1b clinical trial of tegoprubart in up to 36 subjects, replacing tacrolimus as an immunosuppressive regimen component in patients undergoing de novo kidney transplantation. Each participant will receive rabbit antithymocyte globulin induction and a maintenance regimen consisting of tegoprubart, mycophenolate mofetil, and corticosteroids. The primary endpoint of the study is safety. Other endpoints include glomerular filtration rate (“eGFR”), characterizing the pharmacokinetic profile of tegoprubart, and the incidence of biopsy proven rejection. The first subject in the Phase 1b study was dosed in July 2022.

Better graft function as assessed by eGFR has been associated with improved long-term patient and graft survival and is an early predictor of future graft failure. Historical studies have reported average eGFRs generally in the low 50 mL/min/1.73m2 range during the first year after kidney transplant using current standard of care immunosuppression. An eGFR of 50 mL/min/1.73m2 or below indicates chronic kidney disease.

We reported interim safety and efficacy results from the Phase 1b clinical trial in March 2023, and provided updated data in November 2023, June 2024 and August 2025.

Table of Contents

At the time of the August 2025 update, which reported data as of July 2025, 32 patients undergoing kidney transplantation have been enrolled in the Phase 1b study. Updated data showed that kidney function, as assessed by eGFR, stabilized after the first month post-transplant and remained in the range of approximately 68 mL/min/1.73 m2 through 12 months for patients (n = 12) who remained on tegoprubart. Kidney function in the intention-to-treat population (n=15) was approximately 63 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 12 months. Data from historical studies using the standard of care, calcineurin inhibitor-based immunosuppression therapy, typically report aggregate mean eGFR of approximately 53 mL/min/1.73 m2 during the first year after kidney transplant. In addition, preliminary abbreviated iBox data was presented suggesting that tegoprubart may improve 5-year graft survival. Abbreviated iBox, a composite biomarker panel developed by the Paris Transplant Group, incorporates kidney function (eGFR, proteinuria) and immunologic response (donor-specific antibodies) parameters into a single prognostic score. Based on data collected as of July 2025, abbreviated iBox scores were -3.75 in the intention-to-tre

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Overview

Our business strategy is to optimize the clinical and commercial value of tegoprubart and become a global biopharmaceutical company with a focused immunology franchise. Tegoprubart targets the CD40 ligand (also known as CD40L). Blocking CD40L has been shown to inhibit multiple costimulatory receptors including CD40 and CD11, key components of how immune cells communicate with one another. Blocking CD40L also increases polarization of lymphocytes into Tregs, a specialized subpopulation of T cells that act to suppress immune response.

We believe the central role of CD40L signaling in generating pro-inflammatory responses makes it an attractive candidate for therapeutic intervention in the protection of transplanted organs and the prevention of transplant rejection, as well as modulating immune responses in autoimmune disease, and in neuroinflammation. Blocking the activation of the CD40L pathway has been shown to slow disease progression and pathology in preclinical models of autoimmunity and neurodegeneration, and to prevent acute and long-term allograft transplant rejection in multiple animal species.

We continue to focus on the development of tegoprubart for the prevention of rejection of allograft (i.e., transplanting an organ from one human to another) and xenograft (i.e., transplanting an organ from an animal to a human) organs and cells. Our mission is to both extend the functional life of transplanted organ and reduce side effect of current immunosuppressive treatments such as kidney toxicity, high blood pressure, and tremor.

Tegoprubart is being evaluated in multiple kidney transplantation studies, including a Phase 1b trial and a Phase 2 open-label extension study, and was evaluated through our Phase 2 BESTOW trial, each designed to assess safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy compared to standard-of-care immunosuppression. Final and interim data suggest improved renal function and reduced immunosuppressive-related adverse events. Additionally, an investigator-initiated islet cell transplantation study has shown potential in achieving insulin independence without the use of calcineurin inhibitors, supporting further exploration in Type 1 diabetes. We also continue to explore xenotransplantation applications, an emerging area of scientific and commercial interest. Our collaboration with eGenesis, Inc. supports preclinical and clinical studies in kidney, heart, and islet cell transplantation. A more complete discussion of the Phase 2 BESTOW clinical data, as well as results from the investigator-initiated islet cell transplantation study, is included in Item 1, Business in Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We plan to seek guidance from the FDA regarding the design of a potential Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating tegoprubart in kidney transplantation and, subject to regulatory feedback and alignment, may initiate a Phase 3 trial.

Financing Activities

2023 Securities Purchase Agreement

On April 28, 2023, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2023 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional and accredited investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the investors in a private placement (the “2023 Private Placement”) (i) in an initial closing, (a) an aggregate of 15,151,518 shares (the “Shares”) of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“common stock”), or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), and (b) common stock warrants exercisable into an aggregate of 15,151,518 shares of common stock (or

52

Table of Contents

Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof) (the “Common Warrants” and, together with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”); (ii) in a second closing (the “Second Closing”), upon the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions set forth in the 2023 Securities Purchase Agreement, an aggregate of 20,202,024 shares of common stock (or Pre-Funded Warrants); and (iii) in a third closing (the “Third Closing”), upon the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions set forth in the 2023 Securities Purchase Agreement, an aggregate of 25,252,530 shares of common stock (or Pre-Funded Warrants), in each case subject to customary adjustments as provided in the 2023 Securities Purchase Agreement, Pre-Funded Warrant or Common Warrant, as applicable. Each Common Warrant has an exercise price of $3.00 per share and expires five years after issuance. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately and until exercised in full, with an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants are subject to specified beneficial ownership limitations, which are generally set at 9.99% of the total common stock then issued and outstanding immediately following the exercise of such warrants, and provided that any beneficial ownership limitation may not exceed 19.99% unless otherwise permitted. The Shares, the Warrants, and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, have not been registered under the Securities Act and were offered pursuant to the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.

On May 5, 2023, the initial closing occurred, and we received gross proceeds of $35.0 million, or net proceeds of approximately $33.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, in exchange for 8,730,168 shares of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 6,421,350 shares of common stock.

Financial Operations Overview

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist primarily of costs associated with research and development activities and general and administrative activities.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses, which consist primarily of costs associated with our product research and development efforts, are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of:

•
personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and travel expenses, for employees engaged in research and development functions;

•
expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, or (“CROs”), and sites that conduct our non-clinical studies and clinical trials;

•
expenses associated with manufacturing materials for use in non-clinical studies and clinical trials and developing external manufacturing capabilities;

•
costs of outside consultants engaged in research and development activities, including their fees and travel expenses;

55

Table of Contents

•
other expenses related to our non-clinical studies and clinical trials and expenses related to our regulatory activities; and

•
payments made under our third-party license agreements.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs that include salaries, benefits and travel expenses for our executive, finance, and other administrative functions, and stock-based compensation expense. General and administrative expenses also include professional fees for expenses incurred under agreements with third parties relating to public relations, audit, tax and legal services, including legal expenses to pursue patent protection of our intellectual property; and our information technology, facilities and other related expenses, including rent, maintenance of facilities, insurance and supplies.

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities represents the initial recognition of warrant liabilities at fair value in excess of proceeds received, as well as subsequent period remeasurements of these warrant liabilities at fair value. These remeasurements reflect changes in market conditions, such as fluctuations in stock price, volatility, interest rates, and other valuation inputs that impact the fair value of the liability.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Accrued Research and Development Expenses

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our accrued research and development expenses. This process involves reviewing open contracts, communicating with our personnel and vendors to identify services that have been performed on our behalf and estimating the level of service performed and the associated costs incurred for the services when we have not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of the actual costs. The majority of our service providers invoice us in arrears for services performed, on a pre-determined schedule or when contractual milestones are met; however, some require advance payments. We make estimates of our accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date in our consolidated financial statements based on facts and circumstances known to us at that time. Examples of estimated accrued research and development expenses include fees paid to:

•
CROs in connection with performing research and development services on our behalf;

•
other providers in connection with clinical trials;

•
vendors in connection with non-clinical development activities; and

•
vendors related to product manufacturing, development and distribution of clinical supplies.

We base our expenses related to clinical trials on our estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to contracts with multiple CROs that conduct and manage clinical trials on our behalf. The financial terms of these agreements vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. There may be instances in which payments made to our vendors will exceed the level of services provided and result in a prepayment of the clinical expense. Payments under some of these contracts depend on factors such as the successful enrollment of patients and the completion of clinical trial milestones. When determining accruals, we estimate the time period over which services will be performed, enrollment of patients, number of sites activated and level of effort to be expended in each period. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from our estimate, we adjust the accrual or prepaid accordingly. Although

56

Table of Contents

we do not expect our estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, our understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in reporting expenses that are too high or too low in any particular period. To date, we have not made any material adjustments to our prior estimates of accrued research and development expenses.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on the grant-date estimated fair value.

The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using assumptions which are subjective and require significant judgment and estimation by management. The risk-free rate assumption was based on observed yields from governmental zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term. The expected volatility assumption was based on historical volatilities of a group of comparable industry companies whose share prices are publicly available. The peer group was developed based on publicly traded biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies with comparable business characteristics, clinical stages of development, and organizational scale, including employee headcount, primarily consisting of companies with Phase II or Phase III clinical programs. The expected term of stock options represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to be outstanding. Because the Company does not have historical exercise behavior, the Company determined the expected life assumption using the simplified method for stock options granted to employees, which is an average of the options ordinary vesting period and the contractual term. The expected dividend assumption was based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company has not paid and does not expect to pay dividends at any time in the foreseeable future. The Company recognizes forfeitures on an actual basis and as such did not estimate forfeitures to calculate stock-based compensation.

Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”) are measured and recognized based on the quoted market price of our common stock on the date of grant.

Warrant Liabilities

Warrants are accounted for as either derivative liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the underlying agreement. Warrants classified as derivative liabilities are initially recorded at fair value on the issuance date and are remeasured at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Warrants classified as equity instruments are recorded in additional paid-in capital at issuance and are not subject to remeasurement. The Common Warrants are recorded at fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model at issuance, with any subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. To determine the fair value of the liability classified warrants, a Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used, which considers assumptions that are subjective and require significant judgment and estimation by management. The risk-free rate assumption was based on observed yields from governmental zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term. The expected volatility assumption was based on a peer group of publicly traded biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies with comparable business characteristics, clinical stages of development, and organizational scale, including employee headcount, primarily consisting of companies with Phase II or Phase III clinical programs. We periodically evaluate changes in facts and circumstances that could impact the classification of warrants.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

A description of recently issued and recently adopted accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is set forth in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Market Trends and Uncertainties

The global economy, including the financial and credit markets, has recently experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates, elevated inflation and interest rates, changes in U.S. trade policy and uncertainty about economic stability. Likewise, the current conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have created volatility in the global capital markets and global economic consequences, including disruptions of the global supply chain and energy markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn or continued volatility in the financial and credit markets could negatively impact our ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms, if at all.

57

Table of Contents

The severity and duration of any such impacts cannot be predicted. Any such failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and on our ability to pursue our business plans and strategies or cause us to delay our clinical development plans, research and development programs or commercialization efforts, out-license intellectual property rights to our product candidates or sell unsecured assets, or a combination of the above. Any of these actions could materially harm our business.

Any of the foregoing items could materially affect our business, possibly to a significant degree. The severity and duration of any such impacts cannot be predicted. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information

Table of Contents

Research and development expenses increased $14.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to:

•
an increase of $8.5 million in Tegoprubart - kidney transplantation programs, primarily driven by higher external CRO costs, related to increased activities in our Phase 1b, Phase 2 BESTOW and Phase 2 open-label extension trials for kidney transplantation;

•
a decrease of $0.5 million in Tegoprubart - other development programs, primarily external CRO costs, related to the close-out of activities of our terminated IgAN program in 2024;

•
an increase of $2.5 million in manufacturing costs, primarily contract manufacturing organization expenses, associated with increased production of drug substance and drug product clinical trial supply; and

•
an increase of $3.7 million in personnel-related expenses, driven by increased headcount supporting ongoing clinical development programs.

General and administrative expenses decreased $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to:

•
an increase of $0.9 million in professional and consulting fees, primarily due to increased audit and legal service costs;

•
an increase of $0.1 million in personnel-related expenses driven by higher headcount; and partially offset by;

•
a decrease of $2.6 million in stock-based compensation expense, attributable to performance-based stock options granted in 2024.

Other Income, Net

The $0.3 million increase in other income, net was primarily due to an increase in interest income, driven by higher balances of our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the fair value of warrant liabilities decreased by $33.4 million. This change was primarily driven by a decrease in the fair value of the Common Warrants, reflecting a decline in the Company’s stock price during the period. The warrant liability declined from $44.9 million as of December 31, 2024 to $11.4 million as of December 31, 2025.

59

Table of Contents

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $35 thousand and $0.4 million, respectively. The higher income tax expense in 2024 versus income tax expense in 2025 was the result of a larger change in the effective state tax rate used to remeasure the deferred tax liability related to indefinite-lived assets in 2024.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources of Liquidity

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $133.3 million, working capital of $117.3 million and an accumulated deficit of $401.2 million.

We do not have any approved products for commercial sale and have never generated revenue from product sales and have incurred significant net losses since our inception and expect to continue to incur net operating losses for the foreseeable future. We do not expect to receive any revenue from any product candidates that we develop unless and until we obtain regulatory approval and commercialize our product candidates or enter into collaborative arrangements with third parties. We currently have no credit facility or committed sources of capital. To date, our operations have been financed primarily by net proceeds from the sale of preferred and common stock, and the sale of warrants. Additionally, in view of our expectation to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future we will be required to raise additional capital resources in the future in order to fund our operations, although the availability of, and our access to, such resources is not assured.

Based on our liquidity estimates and our current resources, we have concluded that we have sufficient cash resources to meet our anticipated cash needs through at least the next 12 months from the date of this report. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, and we could utilize our available resources sooner than we currently expect. To finance our operations beyond that point we will need to raise additional capital, which cannot be assured. Further, from time to time, our operating plans may change, and we may need additional funds to meet operational needs for clinical studies sooner than planned or to fund additional clinical studies. For example, we do not currently have sufficient liquidity to fund the continued clinical development of tegoprubart for people with ALS without additional financing. We will continue to monitor our liquidity position in light of various financing alternatives and may pursue additional financing or other alternatives to allow us to continue our product development. However, there can be no assurance such financing or other alternatives will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, which could force us to significantly alter our business strategy, substantially curtail our current operations, or liquidate and cease operations altogether.

Material Cash Requirements

Our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, which consist of clinical research and development expenses, manufacturing expenses, legal and compliance expenses, compensation and related expenses, and general overhead costs. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay or prepay these expenses.

We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we expand our clinical program with tegoprubart and, continue the research and development of, and seek marketing approval for, our product candidates. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution.

We will continue to require additional financing in order to advance our drug product through clinical development, to manufacture, obtain regulatory approval for and to commercialize our product candidates, to develop, acquire or in-license other potential product candidates, and to fund operations for the foreseeable future. Therefore, we will seek to raise additional capital through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including potentially collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. The ability to raise substantial additional capital will depend on many factors, including:

•
the initiation, progress, timing, costs and results of our ongoing and future clinical trials of tegoprubart, including as such activities may be adversely impacted by global events or macroeconomic conditions;

•
the impact of global macroeconomic trends and uncertainties, which continue to experience volatility and disruptions, including diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates, increases in inflation rates, rising interest rates and uncertainty about economic stability;

Conditions in the financial and credit markets may also limit the availability of funding or increase the cost of funding. As a result of any of the foregoing factors, adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms on a timely basis, or at all. The severity and duration of any such impacts cannot be predicted. Any such failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and on our ability to pursue our business plans and strategies or cause us to delay our clinical development plans, research and development programs or commercialization efforts, out-license intellectual property rights to our product candidates or sell unsecured assets, or a combination of the above. Any of these actions could materially harm our business. The issuance of shares of common stock in the 2023 Private Placement, the 2024 Private Placement, the 2024 Underwritten Offering and the 2025 Underwritten Offering diluted the ownership interests of our existing stockholders, and to the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of additional equity, including through our “at the market” equity offering program, or convertible debt securities in the future, our stockholders’ ownership interests may be further diluted, and the terms of these securities may also include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our stockholders’ rights. Debt financing, if available, would result in fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants that limit our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends, that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. If we raise funds through collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. Please see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional risks associated with our substantial capital requirements and the challenges we may face in raising capital.

We lease our office facilities in Irvine, California and Burlington, Massachusetts under non-cancelable operating leases that expire in June 2027 and November 2027, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we expect to make total lease payments of $0.7 million through November 2027.

We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with third-party contract organizations for preclinical and clinical studies, manufacture and supply of our preclinical and clinical materials and providing other services and products for operating purposes. Contracts for preclinical and clinical studies and other services generally provide for termination following a certain period after notice, and therefore we believe that our non-cancelable obligations under these agreements are not material. We do not have any long-term manufacturing and supply agreements with our third-party contract manufacturers but enter into specific contracts on an as needed basis for individual batch production runs (See Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for contract obligations due within the next year).
