- Organization and Business
Organization
Reneo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Reneo or the Company) is a pharmaceutical company historically focused on the development and commercialization of therapies for patients with rare genetic mitochondrial diseases, which are often associated with the inability of mitochondria to produce adenosine triphosphate. The Company’s only product candidate, mavodelpar, is a potent and selective agonist of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARδ). Mavodelpar has been shown to increase transcription of genes involved in mitochondrial function and increase fatty acid oxidation , and may increase production of new mitochondria.
On December 14, 2023, the Company announced that its pivotal STRIDE study, a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b trial of mavodelpar in adult patients with primary mitochondria myopathy due to mitochondrial DNA defects, did not meet its primary or secondary efficacy endpoints. As a result, the Company suspended the development activities for mavodelpar and implemented cash preservation activities, including a substantial workforce reduction. The Company implemented a reduction in workforce in December 2023 and February 2024, and currently haseight full-time employees remaining.
In January 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors retained an independent financial advisor to initiate a formal process to evaluate potential strategic alternatives focused on maximizing stockholder value, including, but not limited to, a merger, sale, other business combination, a strategic partnership with one or more parties, or the licensing, sale or divestiture of its assets. The Company is no longer pursuing further clinical development of mavodelpar at this time.
On May 10, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, Proposed Transactions) with Radiate Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its direct, wholly owned subsidiary (Merger Sub I), Radiate Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and its direct, wholly owned subsidiary (Merger Sub II), and OnKure, Inc., a Delaware corporation (OnKure), pursuant to which, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (a) Merger Sub I will merge with and into OnKure (the First Merger), with Merger Sub I ceasing to exist and OnKure surviving the First Merger as its wholly owned subsidiary (Reneo following the First Merger, NewCo), and (b) as promptly as practicable following the First Merger, OnKure, as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with OnKure ceasing to exist and Merger Sub II surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo (the Second Merger, and together with the First Merger, the Mergers). At the effective time of the First Merger (the First Effective Time) and upon filing of an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to reclassify its common stock, each share of the Company’s common stock existing and outstanding immediately prior thereto will be recapitalized and remain outstanding as a share of NewCo Class A common stock without any conversion or exchange thereof, subject to a proposed reverse stock split of all of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding at the time of effectiveness thereof by a ratio to be determined by OnKure subject to the Company’s approval (the Reverse Stock Split). Upon the First Effective Time, all shares of OnKure capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time, after giving effect to an assumed common stock exchange ratio of 0.24482 and an assumed preferred stock exchange ratio of 1.50062, will be converted into the right to receive approximately 76,958,781 shares of NewCo common stock in the aggregate, which is subject to adjustment as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
In connection with the Mergers, on May 10, 2024, the Company concurrently entered into a Subscription Agreement with certain existing OnKure stockholders and new investors (collectively, PIPE Investors) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to issue to the PIPE Investors shares of NewCo Class A common stock concurrently with the Mergers in a private placement transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $65.0 million, which amount may be increased to up to $85.0 million through additional subscriptions from additional
PIPE Investors (the Concurrent PIPE Investments). The closing of the Concurrent PIPE Investments is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the closing of the Mergers and the substantially concurrent closing of the Mergers, as well as certain other conditions.
Immediately after the Mergers, pre-Mergers OnKure stockholders are expected to own approximately 69.4% of NewCo on a fully-diluted basis and pre-Mergers Reneo stockholders are expected to own approximately 30.6% of NewCo on a fully-diluted basis. Following the completion of the Concurrent PIPE Investments, assuming a subscription amount of (a) $65.0 million, pre-Mergers OnKure stockholders are expected to own approximately 54.8% of NewCo on a fully-diluted basis, pre-Mergers Reneo stockholders are expected to own approximately 24.2% of NewCo on a fully-diluted basis, and the PIPE Investors are expected to own approximately 21.0% of NewCo on a fully-diluted basis, and (b) $85.0 million, pre-Mergers OnKure stockholders are expected to own approximately 51.5% of NewCo on a fully-diluted basis, pre-Mergers Reneo stockholders are expected to own approximately 22.7% of NewCo on a fully-diluted basis, and the PIPE Investors are expected to own approximately 25.8% of NewCo on a fully-diluted basis. The exchange ratios, and related pro forma ownership, will be adjusted (i) to account for the effect of the proposed Reverse Stock Split and (ii) to the extent that Reneo’s net cash as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the closing date of the Mergers is less than $59.0 million or greater than $61.0 million (resulting in pre-Mergers Reneo stockholders owning less or more of NewCo, respectively). The expected relative ownership percentages of pre-Mergers OnKure stockholders and pre-Mergers Reneo stockholders of NewCo are calculated using the treasury stock method, as described in the Merger Agreement.
The Mergers, which have been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and the board of directors of OnKure, are expected to close in the second half of 2024, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including the approval of the Company’s stockholders. Certain stockholders of Reneo holding approximately 28.2% of the outstanding shares of its common stock entered into support agreements with Reneo and OnKure to vote all of their shares of the Company’s common stock in favor of the Mergers, subject to the terms of the support agreements. Although the Company has entered into the Merger Agreement and intends to consummate the proposed Mergers, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully consummate the proposed Mergers on a timely basis, or at all. If, for any reason, the proposed Mergers are not completed, the Company will reconsider its strategic alternatives and could pursue another strategic transaction similar to the proposed Mergers, potential collaborative, partnering or other strategic arrangements for the Company’s assets, including a license, sale or divestiture of its assets, or liquidate and distribute available cash.
Liquidity
From its inception in 2014, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations and expects to continue to incur net losses into the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of$76.7 million , which the Company believes will be sufficientto fund the Company’s current operating plan for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed financial statements.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The Company recommends that the unaudited consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements, have been included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for an entire year.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
New Accounting Pronouncements
There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.
- Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes basic loss per share by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share assumes the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock equivalents, unless the effect of inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For purposes of this calculation, common stock shares to be issued upon exercise of all outstanding stock options and vesting of restricted stock units were excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 because such shares are anti-dilutive.
Historical outstanding anti-dilutive securities not included in the diluted net loss per share calculation include the following:
| As of June 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Common stock options outstanding | 4,671,290 | 6,001,185 |
| Unvested restricted stock units | 311,500 | 364,500 |
| Total | 4,982,790 | 6,365,685 |
- Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a fair value hierarchy for instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
ASC Topic 820 identifies fair value as the exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between the following:
Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company’s financial assets are subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis.
The Company categorizes its money market funds as Level 1, using the quoted prices in active markets. Commercial paper and U.S. treasury securities are categorized as Level 2, using significant other observable inputs. The fair value of the Company’s investments in certain money market funds is their face value and such instruments are classified as Level 1 and are included in cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets.
In connection with the Company’s chief executive officer’s (CEO) employment agreement, he is entitled to receive a special performance bonus in the amount of $7.5 million (Performance Award), payable in cash, common stock or a combination of cash and common stock, at the election of the Company, based on achievement of certain conditions as described in more detail in Note 8. The Company estimated the fair value of the Performance Award using a Monte Carlo simulation, which incorporates the stock price at the date of the valuation and utilizes Level 3 inputs such as volatility, probabilities of success, and other inputs that are not observable in active markets. The Performance Award is required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis each reporting period, with changes in the fair value recognized in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss over the derived service period of the award.
No assets or liabilities were transferred into or out of their classifications during thesix months ended June 30, 2024.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
RSUs consist of time-based units (TSUs), performance-based units (PSUs) and market-based units (MSUs). The following table summarizes RSU activities during thesix months ended June 30, 2024:
| Number of RSUs | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Unvested at December 31, 2023 | 326,500 | $5.90 |
| Cancelled | (15,000) | $6.98 |
| Unvested at June 30, 2024 | 311,500 | $5.85 |
Time-Based Units
TSUs typically vest over four years, with 25% vesting on theone-year anniversary of the employee’s hire date and the remainder vesting monthly or quarterly over the following three years subject to the employee’s continued employment with the Company through the vesting dates. The fair value of the awards was based on the value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date of the award and expense is recognized on a straight-line basis. The Company had 57,000 unvested shares underlying TSUs as of June 30, 2024. The stock-based compensation expense related to such TSUs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was immaterial. No stock-based compensation expense related to such TSUs was recognized for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2023. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense as of June 30, 2024 was $0.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting term of 3.1 years.
Performance-Based Units
The vesting of the PSUs is based on the Company achieving certain regulatory milestones and is subject to the employee’s continued employment with the Company through the achievement date. The fair value of the awards was based on the value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date of the award and expense recognition is based on the probability of achieving the performance conditions. Stock-based compensation expense is adjusted in future periods for subsequent changes in the expected outcome of the performance conditions. The Company had 134,500 unvested shares underlying PSUs as of June 30, 2024. The Company concluded that achievement of the performance conditions was not probable as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and thereforeno stock-based compensation expense was recognized for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 in connection with the PSUs. As of June 30, 2024, there was$1.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to PSUs that were deemed not probable of vesting.
Market-Based Units
The vesting of the MSUs is based on the Company’s closing stock price trading above $20 per share for 30 consecutive trading days subject to the employee’s continued employment with the Company through the date of achievement. The share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance of the MSUs was $2.78 per share. The fair value was based on Monte Carlo simulation model on the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the derived service period of approximately 3 years. The Company had 120,000 unvested shares underlying MSUs as of June 30, 2024. Stock-based compensation expense related to the MSUs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was immaterial. As of June 30, 2024, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the MSUs was immaterial.
Performance Award
In connection with the CEO’s employment agreement, he is entitled to receive a Performance Award in the amount of $7.5 million, payable in cash, common stock or a combination of cash and common stock, at the election of the Company, in the event that (i) the Company’s market value exceeds $750.0 million utilizing the volume-weighted average of the closing sale price of its common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market or other principal exchange for each of the 30 trading days immediately prior to the measurement date, or (ii) the fair market value of the net proceeds available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders in connection with a change in control as defined in the Company’s severance benefit plan, as determined in good faith by its Board of Directors, exceeds $750.0 million. The Company has determined that the Performance Award is subject to ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation and includes both market and performance conditions. Since the Company’s initial public offering (IPO), neither of the events have yet been satisfied. The Company estimated the fair value of the Performance Award at each reporting period using the Monte Carlo simulation (Note 4), which is recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the derived service period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, stock-based compensation expense was immaterial. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized approximately $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense as a direct result of the increased value of the Performance Award primarily caused by the increase in the Company’s common stock price.

The Compensation Committee terminated the SAYE in January 2024 and the reserved shares were returned to the ESPP reserve pool. No shares were issued under the SAYE prior to its termination.
The Company didnot recognize stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP and the SAYE for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP and the SAYE for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was immaterial.
