Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Nature of Business

Celularity Inc., ("Celularity” or the "Company”), formerly known as GX Acquisition Corp. ("GX”), was a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on August 24, 2018. The Company was formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On July 16, 2021 (the "Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated January 8, 2021 (the "Merger Agreement”), by and among GX, Alpha First Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of GX ("First Merger Sub”), Celularity LLC (f/k/a Alpha Second Merger Sub LLC), a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of GX ("Second Merger Sub”), and the entity formerly known as Celularity Inc., incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on August 29, 2016 ("Legacy Celularity”). Upon completion of the merger transaction, GX changed its name to Celularity Inc.

At the special meeting held on February 22, 2024, the stockholders of Celularity approved an amendment to Celularity’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of Celularity’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio of 1-for-10. Following the reverse stock split, each 10 shares of Celularity’s Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto were combined into one new share of Class A Common Stock. Unless specifically provided otherwise herein, all share and per share information has been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Description of Business

Celularity is a cell therapy and regenerative medicine company focused on addressing aging related diseases including cancer and degenerative diseases. Celularity is headquartered in Florham Park, NJ. Legacy Celularity acquired Anthrogenesis Corporation ("Anthrogenesis”) in August 2017 from Celgene Corporation ("Celgene”), a global biotechnology company that merged with Bristol Myers Squibb Company. Previously, Anthrogenesis operated as Celgene Cellular Therapeutics, Celgene’s cell therapy division.

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with governmental regulations and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. Drug candidates currently under development will require significant additional approval prior to commercialization, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel, and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if the Company’s drug development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from cellular therapy product sales.

Going Concern

The Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

As an emerging clinical-stage biotechnology company, Celularity is subject to certain inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the development of an enterprise. In this regard, since the Company’s inception, substantially all of management’s efforts have been devoted to making investments in research and development including basic scientific research into placentally-derived allogeneic cells, pre-clinical studies to support its current and future clinical programs in cellular therapeutics, and clinical development of its cell programs as well as facilities and selling, general and administrative expenses that support its core business operations (collectively, the "investments”), all at the expense of the Company’s short-term profitability. The Company has historically funded these investments through limited revenues generated from its biobanking and degenerative disease businesses and issuances of equity and debt securities to public and private investors (these issuances are collectively referred to as "outside capital”). Notwithstanding these efforts, management can provide no assurance that the Company’s research and development and commercialization efforts will be successfully completed, or that adequate protection of the Company’s intellectual property will be adequately maintained. Even if these efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate significant sales or operate in a profitable manner to sustain the Company’s operations without needing to continue to rely on outside capital.

As of the date the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, or the issuance date, management evaluated the significance of the following adverse conditions and events in considering its ability to continue as a going concern:

Since its inception, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and net cash used in operating activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred an operating loss of $29,078 and net cash used in operating activities of $7,995. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $886,390. The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses and use net cash for operations for the foreseeable future.

The Company expects to incur substantial expenditures to fund its investments for the foreseeable future. In order to fund these investments, the Company will need to secure additional sources of outside capital. While the Company is actively seeking to secure additional outside capital (and has historically been able to successfully secure such capital), as of the issuance date, additional outside capital sufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months has not been secured or was deemed probable of being secured. In addition, management can provide no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional outside capital in the future or on terms that are acceptable to the Company. Absent an ability to secure additional outside capital in the very near term, the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due over the next 12 months beyond the issuance date.

As of the issuance date, the Company had approximately $46,050 of debt outstanding, all of which is currently due or due within one year of the issuance date. As disclosed in Note 7, a substantial portion of the Company’s outstanding debt is subject to forbearance agreements. In the event the terms of the forbearance agreements are not met and/or the outstanding borrowings are not repaid, the lenders may, at their discretion, exercise all of their rights and remedies under the loan agreements which may include, among other things, seizing the Company’s assets and/or forcing the Company into liquidation.

As a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, it no longer complied with the continued listing requirements under the timely filing criteria outlined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). The Company had regained compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements upon filing its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024 on November 7, 2024. On November 21, 2024, Nasdaq provided formal notice to the Company that as a result of Company’s failure to timely file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with the continued listing requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). The Company has 60 days to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements. If Nasdaq accepts the Company's plan, it may grant an exception of up to 180 days from the filing's due date, or May 13, 2025, to regain compliance. There can be no assurance that Nasdaq will grant the Company an extension or that the Company will maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements. If the Company is unable to regain compliance, the Company’s securities will be delisted from the Nasdaq, which such delisting could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In the event the Company is unable to secure additional outside capital to fund the Company’s obligations when they become due over the next 12 months beyond the issuance date, which includes the funds needed to repay the Company’s outstanding debt, management will be required to seek other strategic alternatives, which may include, among others, a significant curtailment of the Company’s operations, a sale of certain of the Company’s assets, a sale of the entire Company to strategic or financial investors, and/or allowing the Company to become insolvent by filing for bankruptcy protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information presented herein reflects all financial information that, in the opinion of management, is necessary for a fair statement of consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s ("SEC") rules for the presentation of interim financial statements, which permit certain disclosures to be condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 30, 2024, (the “2023 Form 10-K”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments (which consist primarily of accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2024, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, assumptions related to the Company’s goodwill and intangible asset impairment assessments, determination of incremental borrowing rates, accrual of research and development expenses, and the valuations of inventory, contingent consideration, short-term debt, stock options and stock warrants. The Company based its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under GAAP are included in comprehensive income (loss) but are excluded from net income (loss) as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company’s only component of other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of the portion of the total change in fair value of indebtedness accounted for under the fair value option that is attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded instrument-specific credit risk loss of $2. During thenine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded instrument-specific credit risk income of $2,541 and reclassified $155 from accumulated other comprehensive income to other expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss upon short-term debt conversion. These amounts have been recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements or in the Company's tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent it believes, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established through a charge to income tax expense. Potential for recovery of deferred tax assets is evaluated by estimating the future taxable profits expected and considering prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. No income tax expense was incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basicnet income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as redeemable convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, stock options, restricted stock units and warrants, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. However, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. For diluted net loss per share when the Company has a net loss, the weighted-average number of shares of common stock is the same for basic net loss per share due to the fact that when a net loss exists, dilutive securities are not included in the calculation as the impact is anti-dilutive. All warrants are participating securities, as they participateon a one-for-one basis with Class A common stock in the distribution of dividends, if and when declared by the Board of Directors. For the purposes of computing earnings per share, the warrants are considered to participate with Class A common stock in earnings of the Company. Therefore, the Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, an earnings allocation method that determines net income (loss) per share (when there are earnings) for common stock and participating securities. No income was allocated to the warrants for thenine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, as results of operations were a loss for both periods.

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, prior to the use of the two-class method, as they would be anti-dilutive:

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources in assessing performance. The Company manages its operations through an evaluation ofthree distinct businesses segments: Cell Therapy, Degenerative Disease and BioBanking. These segments are presented for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 in Note 14.

Allowance for Credit Losses

With the adoption of ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, as noted below, the Company recognizes credit losses based on forward-looking current expected credit losses. The Company makes estimates of expected credit losses based upon its assessment of various factors, including historical collection experience, the age of accounts receivable balances, credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from customers.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, and accounts receivable. The Company generally maintains balances in various operating accounts at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality, in amounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to its cash and cash equivalents or restricted cash and does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

The Company is subject to credit risk from trade accounts receivable related to both degenerative disease product sales and biobanking services. All trade accounts receivables are a result from product sales and services performed in the United States. As of September 30, 2024, two of the Company's customers, each of which individually comprised at least 10%, represented an aggregate 33% of the Company's outstanding gross accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023, two of the Company's customers, each of which individually comprised at least 10%, represented an aggregate 63% of the Company's outstanding gross accounts receivable. During thenine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had one customer that provided for 15% and 21% of revenue, respectively. The Company had no customers that individual comprised at least 10% of revenue and one customer that provided for 15% of revenue during thethree months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which expires December 31, 2026 unless the Company is otherwise disqualified. Accordingly, when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. On the condensed consolidated balance sheets, short-term debt - Yorkville and other short-term debt were reclassified to short-term debt - unaffiliated, and short-term debt - related party and short-term debt - related parties - C.V. Starr and RWI were reclassified to short-term debt - related parties. See Note 7 for further information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the accounting for recognizing impairments of financial assets. Under the new guidance, credit losses for certain types of financial instruments will be estimated based on expected losses. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment models for available-for-sale debt securities and for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022 (fiscal year 2023 for the Company), and interim periods within those periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023. The standard didnot have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"), which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which expands the disclosures required for income taxes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to provide more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization) included in certain expense captions presented on the consolidated statement of operations. The guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its condensed consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

The carrying values of other current liabilities approximate fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

Valuation of Convertible Note Receivable

The convertible note receivable was received in connection with the disposition of the UltraMIST/MIST business in 2020. At any time on or after January 1, 2021, at the sole discretion of the Company, amounts outstanding under the convertible note receivable (including accrued interest) may be converted into Sanuwave common stock at a defined rate. The convertible note receivable was to be paid on or before August 6, 2021.

On December 18, 2023, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with Sanuwave ("Sanuwave Forbearance Agreement"). Per the Sanuwave Forbearance Agreement, from the period from December 18, 2023 to the earliest of (i) February 28, 2024, (ii) the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings for Sanuwave pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (iii) the occurrence of an event of default other than payment default, or (iv) the failure of Sanuwave to comply with any term, condition or covenant set forth in the forbearance agreement, the Company agrees that it will not exercise any remedy available to it under the convertible note receivable, excluding the right to increase the interest rate. As collateral for payments owed to Palantir Technologies, Inc. ("Palantir"), the Company assigned to Palantir the Sanuwave convertible note receivable in the event of default (see Note 9). On May 10, 2024, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Sanuwave to extend the forbearance period from February 28, 2024 to June 3, 2024. The letter agreement increased the total note payments to $2,175. Upon executing the letter agreement, Sanuwave made an initial note payment of $100 and on June 3, 2024, made a second note payment of $2,075, fully discharging all outstanding indebtedness under the note.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the convertible note receivable measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for thenine months ended September 30, 2024:

At December 31, 2023, the fair value of this note was based on a bond valuation which employs a credit default model. The Company utilized Level 3 inputs on a probability weighted model based on outcomes of a default, repayment and conversion of the note. The measurement is based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions.

Significant inputs for the convertible note valuation model were as follows:

Valuation of Contingent Consideration

The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligations is determined using Level 3 inputs and is based on a probability-weighted income approach. The measurement is based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions.

The following table presents a reconciliation of contingent consideration obligations measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for thenine months ended September 30, 2024:

Balance as ofJanuary 1, 2024Nettransfersin to (out of) Level 3Purchases,settlementsand othernetFair valueadjustmentsBalance as ofSeptember 30, 2024
Liabilities:
Acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations$1,606$—$—$—$1,606

The fair value of the liability to make potential future milestone and earn-out payments was estimated by the Company at each reporting date based, in part, on the results of a third-party valuation using a discounted cash flow analysis based on various assumptions, including the probability of achieving specified events, discount rates, and the period of time until earn-out payments are payable and the conditions triggering the milestone payments are met. The actual settlement of contingent consideration could differ from current estimates based on the actual occurrence of these specified events.

At each reporting date, the Company revalues the contingent consideration obligation to estimated fair value and records changes in fair value as income or expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various contingent consideration obligations. The change in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was de minimus. The Company has classified all of the contingent consideration as a long-term liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. See Note 9 for more information on contingent consideration.

Valuation of Contingent Stock Consideration

The contingent stock consideration liability at September 30, 2024, is comprised of the fair value of potential future issuance of Class A common stock to CariCord participating shareholders pursuant to a settlement agreement signed during the year ended December 31, 2021. The fair value measurement of the contingent stock consideration obligation is determined using Level 3 inputs and is based on a probability weighted expected return methodology ("PWERM"). The measurement is largely based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the contingent stock consideration obligation measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for thenine months ended September 30, 2024:

Balance as ofJanuary 1, 2024Nettransfersin to (out of) Level 3Purchases,settlementsand othernetFair valueadjustmentsBalance as ofSeptember 30, 2024
Liabilities:
Contingent stock consideration$27$—$—$—$27

The fair value of the liability to issue future shares of Class A common stock was estimated by the Company at each reporting date using a PWERM based on various inputs and assumptions, including the Company’s common share price, discount rates, and the probability of achieving specified future operational targets. The actual settlement of contingent stock consideration could differ from current estimates based on the actual achievement of these specified targets and movements in the Company’s common share price.

At each reporting date, the Company revalues the contingent stock consideration obligation to estimated fair value and records changes in fair value as income or expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of the contingent stock consideration obligation may result from changes in discount rates, changes in the Company’s common share price, and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving specified operational targets. The change in the fair value of the contingent stock consideration obligation during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was de minimus. The Company has classified all of the contingent stock consideration as a current liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Valuation of Short-Term Debt - Yorkville

The Company elected the fair value option to account for the Yorkville PPA signed on September 15, 2022 (see Note 7). As of December 31, 2023, due to the short-term nature of the debt, the fair value of the Yorkville PPA approximated the settlement amount, which was fully paid on January 17, 2024. The Company also elected the fair value option to account for the Yorkville convertible promissory note signed on March 13, 2024 (see Note 7). The fair value measurement of the debt is determined using Level 3 inputs and assumptions unobservable in the market. Changes in the fair value of debt that is accounted for at fair value, inclusive of related accrued interest expense, are presented as gains or losses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss under change in fair value of debt. The portion of total changes in fair value of debt attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk are determined through specific measurement of periodic changes in the discount rate assumption exclusive of base market changes and are presented as a component of comprehensive loss in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The actual settlement of the short-term debt could differ from current estimates based on the timing of when and if Yorkville elects to convert amounts into common shares, potential cash repayment by the Company prior to maturity, and movements in the Company’s common share price.

The following table presents a reconciliation of short-term debt obligations measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for thenine months ended September 30, 2024:

Liabilities:
Balance as of January 1, 2024$17,223
Principal repayments(17,374)
Issuance of convertible promissory note3,150
Fair value adjustment through earnings694
Fair value adjustment through accumulated other comprehensive income2
Balance as of September 30, 2024$3,695

The fair value of the Yorkville convertible promissory note is based on a valuation which employs a Monte Carlo model and a credit default model. The Company utilized Level 3 inputs in a probability weighted model based on outcomes of a default, repayment and conversion of the note. The measurement is based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’sown assumptions. The fair value of the Yorkville convertible promissory note on March 13, 2024, the date of issuance, was $2,993.

Significant inputs for the Yorkville convertible promissory note valuation model were as follows:

Valuation of Warrant Liability

The warrant liability at September 30, 2024 is comprised of the fair value of warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock. The Public Warrants are recorded at fair value based on the period-end publicly stated close price, which is a Level 1 input. The January 2024 Bridge Loan - Tranche #2 Warrants were recorded at fair value based on a Monte Carlo simulation model and the Registered Direct, PIPE and Sponsor Warrants are recorded at their respective closing date fair values based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model that utilizes inputs for: (i) value of the underlying asset, (ii) the exercise price, (iii) the risk-free rate, (iv) the volatility of the underlying asset, (v) the dividend yield of the underlying asset and (vi) maturity, which are Level 3 inputs. The Black-Scholes option pricing model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair values of the warrant liabilities is the expected volatility of the Class A common stock. Prior to the merger, Legacy Celularity was a private company and lacked company-specific historical and implied volatility information for its stock. Therefore, the Company estimates its expected stock price volatility using its volatility since the merger and the historical volatility of publicly traded peer companies. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve for time periods approximately equal to the estimated remaining term of the warrants. Inputs to the Monte Carlo and Black-Scholes option pricing models for the warrants are updated each reporting period to reflect fair value.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the warrant liabilities measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for thenine months ended September 30, 2024:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company experienced a sustained decline in its stock price resulting in its market capitalization being less than the carrying value of its combined reporting units. The Company concluded the sustained decline in its stock price combined with the decision to discontinue certain Cell Therapy clinical trials and development were triggering events and performed a quantitative impairment test on goodwill and acquired IPR&D assets. Based on the results of the impairment analysis, the Company recognized an $82,714 and $112,347 goodwill impairment charge for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, relating to the Cell Therapy reporting unit in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Yorkville PPA

On September 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Pre-Paid Advance Agreement ("PPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. ("Yorkville"), pursuant to which the Company could request advances of up to $40,000 in cash from Yorkville (or such greater amount that the parties may mutually agree) (each, a "Pre-Paid Advance”) over an 18-month period, with an aggregate limitation of $150,000. Pre-Paid Advances were issued at a 2.0% discount, bore interest at an annual rate equal to 6.0% (increased to 15.0% in the event of default as described in the PPA) and may be offset by the issuance of shares of common stock, at Yorkville’s option, at a price per share calculated pursuant to the PPA, which in no event will be less than $7.50 per share. The issuance of the shares under the PPA was subject to certain limitations, including that the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued pursuant to the PPA cannot exceed 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding stock as of September 15, 2022, as well as a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%. Further, Yorkville agreed not to purchase any shares of common stock for 60 days following entry into the PPA, nor could Yorkville purchase more than $6,000 of shares of common stock during a 30-day period, in each case at a price per share less than the Fixed Price, as defined in the PPA. In the event the daily volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Class A common stock is below $7.50 (the"floor price") for any fiveof seven consecutive trading days, the Company would pay Yorkville a monthly cash payment of $6,000, plus any accrued and unpaid interest along with a 5.0% redemption premium until such time as the daily VWAP for five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the due date of the next monthly payment was at least 10.0% greater than $7.50. In connection with the Company's 2023 annual stockholder meeting held in June 2023, the Company and Yorkville agreed to lower the floor price to $0.50 (the "amended floor price"). The Company also received stockholder approval of the proposal for the issuance of more than 20.0 % of its pre-transaction Class A common stock outstanding at a price below the minimum price pursuant to the PPA. Further, absent prior written consent from Yorkville, the Company agreed it would not increase the size or amount borrowed under the C.V. Starr loan facility nor would it incur other borrowings or liens of any kind as long as any amounts were due and remained outstanding to Yorkville until paid in full. The Company agreed that all obligations due and owing to Yorkville would become secured obligations upon any violation under the PPA.

In connection with the entry into the PPA, the Company received the initial Pre-Paid Advance of $40,000 gross or $39,200 net of discount. Each Pre-Paid Advance had a maturity of 12 months. Further Pre-Paid Advances would be based upon the mutual agreement of the parties. Direct costs and fees related to the PPA were recognized in earnings. At issuance, the Company concluded that certain features of the PPA would be considered a derivative that would require bifurcation. In lieu of bifurcation, the Company elected the fair value option for this financial instrument and records changes in fair value within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss at the end of each reporting period. Under the fair value option, upon derecognition the Company will include in net loss the cumulative amount of the gain or loss on the debt that resulted from changes in instrument-specific credit risk.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, Yorkville elected to convert $3,000 of principal and $694 of accrued interest into 262,797 shares of common stock, and during the year ended December 31, 2023, Yorkville elected to convert $3,889 of principal and $400 of accrued interest into 559,481 shares of common stock. Further, during the year December 31, 2023, total repayments to Yorkville were $18,724 which consisted of (i) $16,811 applied to the principal amount; (ii) $1,073 towards accrued interest; and (iii) $840 of redemption premium. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the debt was $17,223 and the principal balance was $16,623. Refer to Note 3 for additional details regarding the fair value measurement.

On January 12, 2024, the Company and Yorkville entered into a forbearance agreement ("Forbearance Agreement"), pursuant to which Yorkville agreed to restrain from enforcing its rights and remedies as a result of the event of default during the forbearance period. The forbearance period was to continue until the earlier of January 19, 2024 or the date the Company fully repaid all amounts outstanding under the PPA ("Forbearance Period"). During the Forbearance Period, interest accrued at 15.0% per annum. In addition, the Company was to make a cash payment of $17,348 plus per diem interest of $7 for each day after January 12, 2024 until payment was made and was required to issue Yorkville a total of 100,000 shares of its common stock. On January 12, 2024, the Company issued Yorkville 100,000 of its common stock in connection with the extension of the maturity date of the PPA. The PPA was repaid in full on January 17, 2024.

On March 13, 2024, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement ("SEPA") with Yorkville (see Note 10).

Yorkville Convertible Promissory Note

Upon entry into the SEPA, the Company issued Yorkville a $3,150 convertible promissory note for $2,993 in cash (after a 5% original issue discount). The note bears interest at an annual rate equal to 8.0% (increased to 18.0% in the event of default as provided in the note) and matures on March 13, 2025. The note was initially convertible into common stock at a price per share equal to $6.3171, provided however, the conversion price was subject to reset on the earlier of (a) the fifth trading day following the effective date of the resale shelf, or (b) the six-month anniversary of the issuance date of the convertible note (i.e., September 13, 2024). The conversion price was reset to $2.7546 on September 13, 2024. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default (as defined in the note), the note (including accrued interest) may become immediately due and payable. The issuance of the common stock upon conversion of the note and otherwise under the SEPA is capped at 19.9% of the outstanding common stock as of March 13, 2024. Further, the note and SEPA include a beneficial ownership blocker for Yorkville such that Yorkville may not be deemed the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of the Company's common stock. As a result of the Company’s failure to file its 2023 Form 10-K by April 30, 2024 (i.e., a deemed Event of Default under the convertible promissory note), the Company began accruing interest at the default rate of 18.0% as of May 1, 2024. A further event of default occurred as a result of the Company’s failure to file a registration statement with the SEC for the resale by Yorkville of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA by May 3, 2024 (see Note 10).

The Company determined that the convertible note included embedded derivatives that would otherwise require bifurcation as derivative liabilities, and neither the debt instrument nor the embedded features are required to be classified as equity. Therefore, at inception, the Company elected to carry the convertible promissory note comprised of the debt host and the embedded derivative liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis as permitted under ASC 825, Financial Instruments. Changes in fair value caused by changes in the instrument-specific credit risk are reported in other comprehensive income, and the remaining change in fair value is reported in earnings (i.e., as a component of other income/expense). Interest expense is a component of the change in fair value of the notes and, therefore, is not separately recorded. As a result of the fair value election, the original issue discount of $157 was recorded to other expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of the debt was $3,695 and the principal balance was $3,150. Refer to Note 3 for additional details regarding the fair value measurement.

Short-Term Debt - Other and CEO Promissory Note

On August 21, 2023, the Company entered into a loan agreement with its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Robert Hariri, and two unaffiliated lenders, providing for a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000 (of which Dr. Hariri contributed $1,000), or the "Loan." The Loan bears interest at a rate of 15.0% per year, with the first year of interest being paid in kind on the last day of each month and matured on August 21, 2024. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan, the Company is required to apply the net proceeds from a subsequent transaction (as defined) in which the Company receives gross proceeds of $4,500 or more to repay the Loan. The Company did not repay the Loan upon receipt of the letter of credit funds in connection with signing the lease amendment (see Note 8) or the January 2024 PIPE (see Note 10), both of which were defined as subsequent transactions. The lenders agreed to a loan amendment whereby the loan maturity date was extended to December 31, 2024. Subsequently, on September 30, 2024, Dr. Hariri and the two unaffiliated lenders entered into an assignment agreement whereby Dr. Hariri assumed the full loan in exchange for repayment of the other lenders' respective principal loan amount, plus accrued interest. As of September 30, 2024, the loan was reclassified from short-term debt - unaffiliated to short-term debt - related parties.

On October 12, 2023, in order to further address the Company's immediate working capital requirements, Dr. Robert Hariri and the Company signed a promissory note for $285 which bears interest at a rate of 15.0% per year. The note matures together with the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest upon the earlier of 12 months from the date of the note or upon a change of control.

As of September 30, 2024, there wasno other short-term debt and the carrying value of the CEO promissory note inclusive of accrued interestwas $3,793. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the other short-term debt and the CEO promissory note inclusive of accrued interest was $2,108 and $1,419, respectively. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of the loans were deemed to approximate fair value.

Short-Term Debt – Related Parties - C.V. Starr and RWI

C.V. Starr & Co., Inc

On March 17, 2023, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the "Starr Bridge Loan") with C.V. Starr & Co., Inc. ("C.V. Starr”), a stockholder of the Company, for an aggregate principal amount of $5,000 net of an original issue discount of $100. The loan bears interest at a rate equal to 12.0% per year or 15.0% in the event of default, with the first year of interest being paid in kind on the last day of each month, and matures on March 17, 2025. In addition, the parties entered into a warrant agreement to acquire up to an aggregate 75,000 shares of Class A common stock ("Starr Warrant"), at a purchase price of $1.25 per whole share underlying the Starr Warrant or $94. The Starr Warrant has a five-year term and had an exercise price of $7.10 per share.

In June 2023, in connection with the Amended RWI Loan (as defined below), the Company granted C.V. Starr additional warrants to acquire up to an aggregate 50,000 shares of its Class A common stock ("Starr Additional Warrant" and in combination with Starr Warrant, "Starr Warrants"), which additional warrants have a 5-year term and had an exercise price of $8.10 per share. The Company applied the guidance for this transaction in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The net proceeds of the Starr Bridge Loan and Starr Additional Warrant were recorded at fair value. The fair value of the Starr Additional Warrant was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Starr Warrants met the requirements for a derivative scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-­74(a) for instruments that are both indexed to an entity’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity.

Under the terms of the Starr Bridge Loan, the Company agreed to customary negative covenants restricting its ability to repay indebtedness, pay dividends to stockholders, repay or incur other indebtedness other than as permitted, grant or suffer to exist a security interest in any of the Company’s assets, other than as permitted, or hold cash and cash equivalents less than $3,000 for more than five consecutive business days. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company's cash and cash equivalents fell below the $3,000 minimum liquidity covenant, which per the terms of the loan agreement caused an event of default. Therefore, the Company reclassified the loan as a current liability reflected within short-term debt - related parties on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On January 12, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment which terminated the minimum $3,000 liquidity covenant requirement. In addition to the negative covenants in the Starr Bridge Loan, the Starr Bridge Loan includes customary events of default and the Company granted C.V. Starr a senior security interest in all of its assets, pari passu with RWI (as defined below).

On March 13, 2024, the Company and C.V. Starr entered into a forbearance agreement ("Starr Forbearance Agreement") with respect to the Starr Bridge Loan. Under the Starr Forbearance Agreement, (i) C.V. Starr agreed not to exercise its rights and remedies upon the occurrence of any default under the Starr Bridge Loan until the Company's obligations in respect of the Yorkville convertible promissory note have been indefeasibly paid in full, (ii) C.V. Starr consented to the Company's incurrence of indebtedness under the Yorkville convertible promissory note, (iii) C.V. Starr consented to cash payments required to be made under the SEPA and the Yorkville convertible promissory note, (iv) the Company agreed to increase the interest rate on the loan outstanding under the Starr Bridge Loan by 100 basis points and (v) the Company agreed to amend the exercise price of (x) that certain warrant to acquire 75,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $7.10 per share, expiring March 17, 2028, and (y) that certain warrant to acquire 50,000 shares of common stock for $8.10 per share expiring June 20, 2028, each of which are held by C.V. Starr, such that the exercise price of each such warrant in (x) and (y) is $5.895 per share. In addition, the interest rate of the Starr Bridge Loan was increased to 13.0% per annum. The Starr Forbearance Agreement resulted in a modification of the Starr Bridge Loan, since the change in cash flows was determined to be less than 10%. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recorded and the change in fair value of the Starr Warrants of $51 wasrecorded as debt discountand will be amortized based on the new effective interest rate over the term of the Starr Bridge Loan. Due to the Company's failure to make certain interest payments when due, the Company began accruing interest at the default rate of 16.0% as of April 5, 2024.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying value of Starr Bridge Loan, inclusive of accrued interest and net of discount, was $5,640 and $5,523, respectively. The carrying amount of the Starr Bridge Loan was deemed to approximate fair value.

Resorts World Inc Pte Ltd

On May 16, 2023, with written consent provided by Yorkville, the Company entered into a senior secured loan agreement ("RWI Bridge Loan") with Resorts World Inc Pte Ltd, ("RWI") providing for an initial loan in the aggregate principal amount of $6,000 net of an original issue discount of $120, which bears interest at a rate of 12.5% per year or 15.5% in the event of default, with the first year of interest being paid in kind on the last day of each month, and matured on June 14, 2023.

On June 21, 2023, the Company closed on an amended and restated senior secured loan agreement ("Amended RWI Loan"), to amend and restate the previous senior secured loan agreement, in its entirety. The Amended RWI Loan provided for an additional loan in the aggregate principal amount of $6,000 net of an original issue discount of $678, which bears interest at a rate of 12.5% per year or 15.5% in the event of default, with the first year of interest being paid in kind on the last day of each month, and matures March 17, 2025. The Amended RWI Loan extended the maturity date of the initial loan to March 17, 2025. In addition, the Amended RWI Loan provided for the issuance of warrants to acquire up to an aggregate 300,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock ("RWI Warrant"), at a purchase price of $1.25 per whole share underlying the RWI Warrant (or an aggregate purchase price of $375). The RWI Warrant has afive-year term and an exercise price of $8.10 per share.

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended RWI Loan, the Company was required to apply the net proceeds to the trigger payments due to Yorkville pursuant to the PPA. In addition, the Company agreed to customary negative covenants restricting its ability to repay indebtedness, pay dividends to stockholders, repay or incur other indebtedness other than as permitted, grant or suffer to exist a security interest in any of its assets, other than as permitted, or hold cash and cash equivalents less than $3,000 for more than five consecutive business days, and includes customary events of default. The Company granted RWI a senior security interest in all of its assets, pari passu with C.V. Starr pursuant to the Starr Bridge Loan. The Company and RWI signed a forbearance agreement on September 14, 2023, whereby RWI agreed to forebear any action under the terms of the Amended RWI Loan in relation to the minimum $3,000 liquidity covenant and with respect to any potential default in relation to the Company's outstanding debt owed to Yorkville until December 31, 2023. The Company reclassified the loan as a current liability reflected within short-term debt - related parties on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Pursuant to the amendment on January 12, 2024, see below, the minimum $3,000 liquidity covenant requirement was terminated.

The Company accounted for the Amended RWI Loan in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The net proceeds of the Amended RWI Loan and RWI Warrant were recorded at fair value, which resulted in a total discount of $2,151 based on the difference between the proceeds and fair value which were recorded as a loss within other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the RWI Warrant was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The RWI Warrant met the requirements for a derivative scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a) for instruments that are both indexed to an entity’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity.

On January 12, 2024, the Company entered into a second amended and restated senior secured loan agreement ("RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan"), to amend and restate the previously announced senior secured loan agreement with RWI dated as of May 16, 2023, as amended on June 20, 2023, in its entirety. The RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan provided for an additional loan in the aggregate principal amount of $15,000 net of an original issue discount of $3,750, which bears interest at a rate of 12.5% per year, with the first year of interest being paid in kind on the last day of each month, and matures on July 16, 2025. In addition, the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan provides for the issuance of a 5-year immediately exercisable warrant to acquire up to 1,650,000 shares of Class A common stock ("Tranche #1 Warrant"), and a warrant to acquire up to 1,350,000 shares of Class A common stock, which will only be exercisable upon the later of (x) stockholder approval for Nasdaq purposes of its exercise price, (y) CFIUS clearance and (z) six months from issuance date ("Tranche #2 Warrant") and will expire 5 years after it becomes exercisable. The Tranche #1 Warrant and Tranche #2 Warrant were each issued on January 16, 2024 in conjunction with the close of the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan. The Tranche #1 Warrant has an exercise price of $2.4898 per share. The Tranche #2 Warrant became exercisable on July 15, 2024 and has an exercise price of $2.988 per share.

Pursuant to the terms of the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan, the Company was required to apply the proceeds of the additional loan (i) to the payment in full of all outstanding amounts owed to Yorkville under the PPA, (ii) to the payment of invoices of certain critical vendors, (iii) to the first settlement payment owed to Palantir (see Note 9), and (iv) for working capital and other purposes pre-approved by RWI. Pursuant to the terms of the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan, the Company agreed to customary negative covenants restricting its ability to pay dividends to stockholders, repay or incur other indebtedness other than as permitted, or grant or suffer to exist a security interest in any of the Company's assets, other than as permitted. In addition, the Company agreed to apply net revenues received through the sale of its products/provision of services in connection with or related to its distribution and manufacturing agreement with Genting Innovation Pte Ltd ("Genting Innovation"), a related party, as a prepayment towards the loan.

The RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan resulted in an extinguishment of the Amended RWI Loan, since the change in cash flows exceeds 10%. As a result, the Company record a loss on extinguishment equal to the difference between (i) the fair values of the new loan and Tranche #1 and Tranche #2 Warrants and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the Amended RWI Loan, or $3,908. The Company has not elected to carry the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan at fair value, as permitted under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging and ASC 825, Fair Value Option for Financial Instruments. The Tranche #1 Warrant has been classified in stockholders’ equity, since it is exercisable into a fixed number of the Company’s own shares at a known exercise price, and therefore is not required to be classified as a liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Tranche #2 Warrant was initially classified as a liability, since the exercise price (i.e., Minimum Price) was not determined at issuance and may be subsequently adjusted. As of July 15, 2024, the Tranche #2 Warrant became exercisable and no longer contains adjustment provisions to the exercise price that are not indexed to the Company's own stock, resulting in the reclassification from liability to equity.

The Company and RWI also entered into an investor rights agreement dated as of January 12, 2024. The investor rights agreement provides RWI certain information and audit rights, as well as registration rights with respect to the shares underlying the Tranche #1 Warrant and Tranche #2 Warrant, including both the undertaking to file a registration statement within 45 days of filing of the 2023 Form 10-K, "piggyback” registration rights, as well as the right to request up to three demand rights for underwritten offerings per year; in each case subject to customary "underwriter cutback” language as well as any objections raised by the Securities and Exchange Commission to inclusion of securities. If the initial registration statement was not filed on or prior to May 15, 2024, the investor rights agreement provided for partial liquidating damages equal to 1.0% of the purchase price of the Tranche #1 and Tranche #2 Warrants amount each month, up to a maximum of 6.0%, plus interest thereon accruing daily at a rate of 18.0% per annum.

On March 13, 2024, the Company and RWI entered into a second forbearance agreement ("RWI 2nd Forbearance Agreement"). Under the RWI 2nd Forbearance Agreement, (i) RWI agreed not to exercise its rights and remedies upon the occurrence of any default under the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan until the Company's obligations in respect of the Yorkville convertible promissory note have been indefeasibly paid in full or March 13, 2025, whichever occurs first, (ii) RWI consented to the Company's incurrence of indebtedness under the Yorkville convertible promissory note, (iii) RWI consented to cash payments required to be made under the SEPA and the Yorkville convertible promissory note, (iv) the Company agreed to increase the interest rate on the loan outstanding under the RWI Loan Agreement by 100 basis points, or from 12.5% to 13.5% per annum, and (v) the Company agreed to issue RWI a warrant to acquire up to 300,000 shares of common stock ("RWI New Warrant"), which expires June 20, 2028 and has an exercise price of $5.895 per share. The RWI 2nd Forbearance Agreement resulted in a modification of the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan, since the change in cash flows is less than 10%. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recorded, and the fair value of the RWI New Warrant of $1,162 was recorded as debt discount and will be amortized based on the new effective interest rate over the term of the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan. Due to the Company's failure to make certain interest payments when due, the Company began accruing interest on the Amended RWI Loan balance of approximately $13,700 at the default rate of 16.5% as of August 5, 2024.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan and Amended RWI Loan, inclusive of interest and net of discount was $29,482 and $12,967, respectively. The carrying amount of the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan was deemed to approximate fair value.

Leases

Lease Agreements

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company’s lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the appropriate discount rate by multiple asset classes. Variable lease payments that are not based on an index or that result from changes to an index subsequent to the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability are not included in the measurement of lease ROU assets or liabilities and instead are recognized in earnings in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise any such options. Lease expense is recognized on a straight‐line basis over the expected lease term. Rent expense was $1,114 and $892 for thethree months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Rent expense was $3,333 and $2,687 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

On March 13, 2019, Legacy Celularity entered into a lease agreement for a 147,215 square foot facility consisting of office, manufacturing and laboratory space in Florham Park, New Jersey, which expires in 2036. The Company has the option to renew the term of the lease for two additional five-year terms so long as the lease is then in full force and effect. The lease term commenced on March 1, 2020 subject to an abatement of the fixed rent for the first 13 months following the lease commencement date. The initial monthly base rent is approximately $230 and will increase annually. The Company is obligated to pay real estate taxes and costs related to the premises, including costs of operations, maintenance, repair, replacement and management of the new leased premises. In connection with entering into this lease agreement, Legacy Celularity issued a letter of credit of $14,722. The lease agreement allows for a landlord provided tenant improvement allowance of $14,722 to be applied to the costs of the construction of the leasehold improvements.

On September 14, 2023, the Company entered into a lease amendment on the Company's Florham Park, New Jersey facility to reduce the letter of credit by approximately $4,900 for a new letter of credit in the amount of $9,883 in exchange for higher base rental payments of approximately $400 per year, effective October 1, 2023. The letter of credit, inclusive of interest earned on the account, is classified as restricted cash (non-current) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates changes to the terms and conditions of a lease contract to determine if they result in a new lease or a modification of an existing lease. The Company accounted for the lease amendment as a modification since the change in lease payments did not represent additional ROU assets. The Company reassessed the IBR, remeasured the lease liability and ROU asset on the modification date of September 14, 2023. As a result, the Company recorded a decrease to the ROU asset and related lease liability in the amount of $2,083 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets reflecting a higher IBR due to lower Company credit rating.

The components of the Company’s lease costs are classified on its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as follows:

Three Months EndedSeptember 30,Nine Months EndedSeptember 30,

Commitments and Contingencies

Contingent Consideration Related to Business Combinations

In connection with Legacy Celularity's acquisition in 2017 of HLI Cellular Therapeutics, LLC and Anthrogenesis, the Company has agreed to pay future consideration to the sellers upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones. As a result, the Company recorded $1,606 as contingent consideration as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. During 2023, the Company discontinued its unmodified NK cell and AML Cell Therapy clinical trials subject to the contingent consideration agreement under the Anthrogenesis acquisition and, as a result, the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation decreased significantly in 2023 and remains unchanged as of September 30, 2024. Due to the contingent nature of these milestone and royalty payments, there is a high degree of judgment in the management estimates that determine the fair value of the contingent consideration. See Note 3 for further discussion.

Indemnification Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and its executive officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company is not currently aware of any indemnification claims and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Agreement with Palantir Technologies Inc.

On May 5, 2021, Legacy Celularity executed a Master Subscription Agreement (the "Palantir MSA") with Palantir under which it agreed to pay $40,000 over five years for access to Palantir’s Foundry platform along with certain professional services. The Company intended to utilize Palantir’s Foundry platform to secure deeper insights into data obtained from the Company’s discovery and process development, as well as manufacturing and biorepository operations. In January 2023, the Company ceased use of the software and provided a notice of dispute to Palantir on the basis that the software had not performed as promised and that Palantir had failed to provide the Company with the professional services necessary to successfully implement, integrate and enable the Foundry platform. As a result, in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Costs, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized the remaining related cease-use costs liability estimated based on the discounted future cash flows of contract payments for $24,161 which was included as software cease-use costs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. On December 21, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with Palantir (the "Palantir Settlement Agreement"), which was subsequently amended on January 10, 2024 and May 6, 2024, whereupon the parties agreed that if the Company paid Palantir the settlement fees of $3,500, less any amounts previously paid, and issued shares as discussed in the Arbitration Demand section below no later than June 3, 2024, the parties would cease the arbitration and deem the original Palantir MSA terminated. The Company made the required payments prior to June 3, 2024, and on June 4, 2024, the parties dismissed all claims and counterclaims. Accordingly, at December 31, 2023, the Company reversed previously recognized costs in excess of the final settlement amount. The Company hasno liability as of September 30, 2024 and a current liability of $3,500 as of December 31, 2023, respectively, for accrued R&D software on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Sirion License Agreement

In December 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement (“Sirion License”) with Sirion Biotech GmbH (“Sirion”). Under the Sirion License, Sirion granted the Company a license related to patent rights and know-how associated with poloxamers (“Licensed Product”). As part of the Sirion License, the Company paid Sirion $136 as an upfront fee, a $113 annual maintenance fee and may owe up to $5,099 related to clinical and regulatory milestones for each Licensed Product during the term. The Company also agreed to pay Sirion low-single digit royalties on net sales on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis and until the later of: (i) expiration of the last to expire valid claim of the patents covering such Licensed Product, and (ii)10 years after first Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product. In addition, the Sirion License is subject to termination rights including for termination for material breach and by the Company for convenience upon 30 days written notice. During thenine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, no milestones have been achieved and no royalties have been earned.

Legal Proceedings

At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. The Company expenses as incurred the costs related to such legal proceedings.

Civil Investigative Demand

The Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (the “Demand”) under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729, dated August 14, 2022, from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The Demand requests documents and information relating to claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal insurers for services or procedures involving injectable human tissue therapy products derived from amniotic fluid or birth tissue and includes Interfyl, a biomaterials product. The Company is cooperating with the request and is engaged in an ongoing dialogue with the Assistant U.S. Attorneys handling the Demand. The matter is still in preliminary stages and there is uncertainty as to whether the Demand will result in any liability.

Arbitration Demand from Palantir Technologies Inc.

On April 20, 2023, Palantir commenced an arbitration with JAMS Arbitration asserting claims for declaratory relief and breach of contract relating to the Palantir MSA, seeking damages in an amount equal to the full value of the contract. The Company responded to the arbitration demand and asserted counterclaims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, fraudulent inducement, violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law, amongst others, in relation to the Palantir MSA.

On December 21, 2023, the Company and Palantir entered into the Palantir Settlement Agreement to resolve the JAMS Arbitration. The Palantir Settlement Agreement was subsequently amended on January 10, 2024 and May 6, 2024. Both parties agreed to dismiss the arbitration proceeding and dispute and provide for mutual releases upon the Company's satisfaction of a settlement payment obligation. Through June 3, 2024, the Company made total settlement payments of $3,500 and issued Palantir an aggregate of 60,584 sharesof the Company’s Class A common stock as consideration for further amendments to the Palantir Settlement Agreement. On June

4,2024, the parties dismissed all claims and counterclaims. The Palantir MSA is now fully terminated and neither party has any further rights or obligations thereunder. The shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issued to Palantir were issued with piggyback registration rights. Resale of such shares by Palantir shall be included on any future registration statement filed by the Company.

Celularity Inc. v. Evolution Biologyx, LLC, et al.

On April 17, 2023, the Company filed a complaint against Evolution Biologyx, LLC, Saleem S. Saab, individually, and Encyte, LLC (collectively, "Evolution”) in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey to recover unpaid invoice amounts for the sale of its biomaterial products in the amount of approximately $2,350, plus interest. In September 2021, the Company executed a distribution agreement with Evolution, whereupon Evolution purchased biomaterial products from the Company for sale through Evolution’s distribution channels. The Company fulfilled Evolution’s orders and otherwise performed each of its obligations under the distribution agreement. Despite attempts to recover the outstanding invoices and Evolution’s promise to pay, Evolution has refused to pay any of the invoices and has materially breached its obligations under the distribution agreement. The Company’s complaint asserts claims of breach of contract and fraudulent inducement, amongst others. The Company intends to vigorously pursue the matter to recover the outstanding payments owed by Evolution, as well as interest and reasonable attorney's fees, but there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the litigation.

TargetCW v. Celularity Inc.

On March 27, 2024, WMBE Payrolling, Inc., dba TCWGlobal, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California alleging a breach of contract and account stated claims relating to a Master Services Agreement dated May 4, 2020, or the TCWGlobal MSA, for the provision of certain leased workers to perform services on our behalf. The complaint alleges that the Company breached the TCWGlobal MSA by failing to make payments on certain invoices for the services of the leased workers. On May 7, 2024, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release with TCWGlobal whereupon the Company agreed to pay $500 in tiered monthly installments, with the last payment due and payable on May 1, 2025, in exchange for a dismissal of the complaint and full release of all claims.

Holders ofcommon stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Dividends

Holders of Class A common stock will be entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Company’s board of directors in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor. In no event will any stock dividends or stock splits or combinations of stock be declared or made on common stock unless the shares of common stock at the time outstanding are treated equally and identically.

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

In the event of the Company’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up, the holders of the common stock will be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all of the Company’s assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders, after the rights of the holders of the preferred stock have been satisfied.

Preemptive or Other Rights

The Company’s stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to common stock.

Election of Directors

The Company’s board of directors is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term, except with respect to the election of directors at the special meeting held in connection with the merger with GX, Class I directors are elected to an initial one-year term (and three-year terms subsequently), the Class II directors are elected to an initial two-year term (and three-year terms subsequently) and the Class III directors are elected to an initial three-year term (and three-year terms subsequently).

The Company’s board of directors is able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the Company’s board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of Celularity or the removal of existing management. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company doesnot have any outstanding preferred stock.

ATM Agreement

On September 8, 2022, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with BTIG, LLC, Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and B. Riley Securities, Inc., acting as sales agents and/or principals, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time in its sole discretion, shares of its common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $150,000, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the ATM Agreement. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of shares under the ATM Agreement.

Any shares offered and sold in the at-the-market offering will be issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and the related prospectus supplement. Under the ATM Agreement, the sales agents may sell shares of common stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Company will pay the sales agents a commission rate of up to 3.0% of the gross sales proceeds of any shares sold and has agreed to provide the sales agents with customary indemnification, contribution and reimbursement rights. The ATM Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and conditions to the placements of the shares pursuant thereto.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received gross and net proceeds of $141 and $136, respectively, from the sale of 13,296 shares of its common stock at an average price of $10.60 per share under the ATM Agreement. No shares were issued under the ATM Agreement during thenine months ended September 30, 2024.

March 2023 PIPE

On March 20, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with two accredited investors, including its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Robert Hariri, providing for the private placement of (i)938,184 shares of its Class A common stock, and (ii) accompanying warrants to purchase up to 938,183 shares of Class A common stock (the "March 2023 PIPE Warrants"), for $8.34 per share and $1.25 per accompanying March 2023 PIPE Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $9,000 (of which Dr. Hariri subscribed for $2,000). The closing of the private placement occurred on March 27, 2023. Each March 2023 PIPE Warrant had an exercise price of $30.00 per share, is immediately exercisable, will expire on March 27, 2028 (five years from the date of issuance), and is subject to customary adjustments for certain transactions affecting the Company's capitalization. The March 2023 PIPE Warrants may not be exercised if the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by the holder thereof (together with its affiliates) would exceed the specified percentage cap provided therein (which may be adjusted upon 61 days advance notice) immediately after exercise thereof.

The Company accounted for the March 2023 PIPE Warrants and common stock as a single non-arm's length transaction. The Company applied the guidance for this transaction in accordance with ASU 2020-06, (Subtopic 470-20): Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options, ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, and ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Accordingly, the net proceeds were allocated between common stock and the March 2023 PIPE warrants at their respective fair value, which resulted in a net premium of $1,650 based on the difference between the proceeds and fair value of the common stock and March 2023 PIPE warrants, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital within stockholders' equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the March 2023 PIPE Warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the common stock based on closing date share price. The Company evaluated the March 2023 PIPE warrants under ASC 815 and determined that they did not require liability classification and met the requirements for a derivative scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a) for instruments that are both indexed to an entity’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity. The warrants were recorded in additional paid-in capital within stockholders' equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On September 14, 2023, the Company entered into a warrant amendment on the March 2023 PIPE Warrants with the unaffiliated investor to reduce the exercise price from $30.00 per share to $10.00 per share for warrants to purchase 729,698 shares of Class A common stock. The warrant amendment was executed as consideration for professional services rendered to the Company. As a result, the Company accounted for the transaction in accordance with ASC 718, Stock-Based Compensation, and based on the calculated incremental fair value attributable to the modified warrant compared to the original warrant immediately prior to the modification, recognized an expense of $402 within selling, general and administrative on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Registered Direct Offerings

On April 10, 2023, the Company closed on a registered direct offering of 923,077 shares of its Class A common stock together with warrants ("Registered Direct Warrants") to purchase up to 923,076 shares of its Class A common stock at a combined purchase price of $6.50 per share and accompanying warrant, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $6,000 before deducting placement agent commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The Registered Direct Warrants had an exercise price of $7.50, became exercisable beginning six months after the date of issuance and will expire five years thereafter. The Company used the $5,505 net proceeds from the offering to repay its obligations to Yorkville under the PPA. The Company considered the appropriate accounting guidance and concluded that the Registered Direct Warrants qualified for liability treatment, and therefore, recorded the warrant liability at fair value $4,280 which was based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The remainder of the net proceeds were allocated to the Class A common stock issued and recorded as a component of equity.

Upon the closing of the registered direct offering on April 10, 2023, the Company amended the existing May 2022 PIPE Warrants, to reduce the exercise price from $82.50 to $7.50 per share and extended the expiration date to five and one-half years following the closing of the offering or October 10, 2028. The modification resulted in the recognition of additional warrant liability of $1,389 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the modification date.

On July 31, 2023, the Company closed on a registered direct offering of 857,143 shares of its Class A common stock together with warrants ("July 2023 Registered Direct Warrants") to purchase up to 857,142 shares of its Class A common stock at a combined purchase price of $3.50 per share and accompanying warrant, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $3,000 before deducting placement agent commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The July 2023 Registered Direct Warrants have an exercise price of $3.50, will be exercisable beginning six months after the date of issuance and will expire five years thereafter. The Company used the $2,740 net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company considered the appropriate accounting guidance and concluded that the July 2023 Registered Direct Warrants qualified for liability treatment, and therefore, recorded the warrant liability at fair value $2,645 which was based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The remainder of the net proceeds were allocated to the Class A common stock issued and recorded as a component of equity.

In connection with the July 31, 2023 registered direct offering described above, the Company also entered into an amendment to certain existing warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 892,856 shares at an exercise price of $7.50 (consisting of all the May 2022 PIPE Warrants and a portion of the Registered Direct Warrants issued in April 2023), and such amended warrants have a reduced exercise price of $3.50 per share. As noted above, the modification resulted in an increase to the warrant liability of $511 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the July 31, 2023 modification date.

May 2023 PIPE

On May 18, 2023, the Company closed on a securities purchase agreement with a group of accredited investors, providing for the private placement of an aggregate (i)581,395 shares of its Class A common stock and (ii) accompanying warrants to purchase up to 581,394 shares of Class A common stock (the “May 2023 PIPE Warrants”), for $5.20 per share and $1.25 per accompanying May 2023 PIPE Warrant, for an aggregate gross purchase price of $3,750. Each May 2023 PIPE Warrant has an exercise price of $10.00 per share, is immediately exercisable, will expire on May 17, 2028, and is subject to customary adjustments for certain transactions affecting the Company’s capitalization. The May 2023 PIPE Warrants may not be exercised if the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by the holder thereof (together with its affiliates) would exceed the specified percentage cap provided therein (which may be adjusted upon 61 days advance notice) immediately after exercise thereof. The Company evaluated the May 2023 PIPE Warrants under ASC 815 and determined that they did not require liability classification and met the requirements for a derivative scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a) for instruments that are both indexed to an entity’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity. Accordingly, the proceeds were allocated between common stock and the May 2023 PIPE Warrants at their respective relative fair value basis to stockholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the May 2023 PIPE Warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the common stock based on the closing date share price and were recorded in additional paid-in capital within stockholders' equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

January 2024 PIPE

On January 12, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an existing investor, Dragasac Limited ("Dragasac"), providing for the private placement of (i)2,141,098 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, or the Class A common stock, and (ii) accompanying warrants to purchase up to 535,274 shares of Class A common stock (“January 2024 PIPE Warrant”), for $2.4898 per share and $1.25 per accompanying January 2024 PIPE Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6,000. The closing of the private placement occurred on January 16, 2024. The securities were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration provided under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The offer and sale of the shares and January 2024 PIPE Warrant (including the shares underlying the January 2024 PIPE Warrant) has not been registered under the Act or any state securities laws. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Each January 2024 PIPE Warrant has an exercise price of $2.4898 per share, is immediately exercisable, and will expire on January 16, 2029 (five years from the date of issuance).

The Company accounted for the January 2024 PIPE Warrant and common stock as a single non-arm's length transaction recognized in equity. The Company applied the guidance for this transaction in accordance with ASU 2020-06,(Subtopic 470-20): Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options, ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, and ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Accordingly, the net proceeds were allocated between common stock and the January 2024 PIPE Warrant at their respective fair values, which resulted in proceeds of $909 allocated to the January 2024 PIPE Warrant and the balance of the proceeds allocated to the common stock. The fair value of the January 2024 PIPE Warrant was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the common stock based on closing date share price. The Company evaluated the January 2024 PIPE warrant under ASC 815 and determined that it did not require liability classification and met the requirements for a derivative scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a) for instruments that are both indexed to an entity’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity. The warrants were recorded in additional paid-in capital within stockholders' equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Also in connection with the January 2024 PIPE transaction, the Company repriced legacy warrants held by Dragasac to purchase 652,981 shares of common stock with a previous exercise price of $67.70 per share to a new exercise price of $2.4898 per share. The modification of warrants resulted in incremental fair value of $524, which has been recognized as an equity issuance cost and had no net impact on stockholders' equity as the warrants remain equity-classified after the modification.

In connection with the execution of the securities purchase agreement, the Company also entered into an investor rights agreement with Dragasac dated as of January 12, 2024. The investor rights agreement provides Dragasac certain information and audit rights, as well as registration rights with respect to the shares (and shares underlying the January 2024 PIPE Warrant), including both the undertaking to file a registration statement within 45 days of filing of the 2023 Form 10-K, "piggyback” registration rights, as well as the right to request up to three demand rights for underwritten offerings per year; in each case subject to customary "underwriter cutback” language as well as any objections raised by the SEC to inclusion of securities. If the initial registration statement was not filed on or prior to May 15, 2024, the investor rights agreement provides for partial liquidating damages equal to 1.0% of the subscription amount each month, up to a maximum of 6.0%, plus interest thereon accruing daily at a rate of 18.0% per annum. The Company began to accrue partial liquidating damages and interest as of May 22, 2024. As a condition to closing, the Company entered into an amendment to an amended and restated distribution and manufacturing agreement with an affiliate of Dragasac to add cell therapy products in clinical development, investigational stage and/or in near-term commercial use to the list of products under the scope of the exclusive distribution and manufacturing licenses (including unmodified natural killer cells (such as CYNK-001) for aging and other non-oncology indications, PSC-100, PDA-001, PDA-002, pEXO and APPL-001 for regenerative indications).

Effective February 16, 2024, in order to comply with Section 4.15(a) of the securities purchase agreement, the Company entered into an amended employment agreement with its Chief Administrative Officer ("CAO"), whereby the CAO agreed to decrease his base salary from $500 to $425 per year through December 31, 2024.

Warrant Modifications

On January 12, 2024, in connection with the January 2024 PIPE, the Company agreed to amend the exercise price of legacy warrants held by Dragasac to purchase 652,981 shares of common stock, which expire March 16, 2025, from $67.70 per share to $2.4898 per share. On March 13, 2024, in connection with the RWI Forbearance Agreement (see Note 7), the Company agreed to issue RWI a warrant to acquire up to 300,000 shares of common stock, which expires June 20, 2028 and has an exercise price of $5.895 per share. Additionally, on March 13, 2024, in connection with the Starr Forbearance Agreement (see Note 7), the Company agreed to amend the exercise price of the 75,000 March 2023 Loan Warrants expiring March 17, 2028 from $7.10 per share to $5.895 per share (the "Minimum Price" as determined pursuant to Nasdaq 5635(d) on March 13, 2024) and the 50,000 June 2023 Warrants expiring June 20, 2028 from $8.10 per share to $5.895 per share, each of which are held by C.V. Starr.

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

On March 13, 2024, the Company and Yorkville entered into a SEPA. Under the SEPA, the Company has the right to sell to Yorkville up to $10,000 of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time, over a 36-month period. Sales of the common stock to Yorkville under the SEPA, and the timing of any such sales, are at the Company's option, and the Company is under no obligation to sell any shares of common stock to Yorkville under the SEPA except in connection with notices that may be submitted by Yorkville, in certain circumstances as described below.

Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in the SEPA, which include having a resale shelf for shares of common stock issued to Yorkville declared effective, the Company has the right to direct Yorkville to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock by delivering written notice ("Advance"). An Advance may not exceed 100% of the average of the daily trading volume of the common stock on Nasdaq, during thefive consecutive trading days immediately preceding the written notice.

Yorkville will generally purchase shares pursuant to an Advance at a price per share equal to 97% of the VWAP, on Nasdaq during thethree consecutive trading days commencing on the date of the delivery of the written notice (unless the Company specifies a minimum acceptable price or there is no VWAP on the subject trading day).

The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA or (ii) the date on which Yorkville shall have made payment for shares of common stock equal to

$10,000. The Company has the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five trading days’ prior written notice to Yorkville, provided that there are no outstanding advances for which shares of common stock need to be issued and the Yorkville convertible promissory note (the "Initial Advance") (see Note 7) has been paid in full. The Company and Yorkville may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent.

As consideration for Yorkville’s commitment to purchase the shares of common stock pursuant to the SEPA, the Company paid Yorkville a $25 cash due diligence fee and a commitment fee equal to 16,964 shares of common stock. The Company recorded direct issuance costs of $125 inclusive of the commitment shares as other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss.

In connection with the entry into the SEPA, on March 13, 2024, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Yorkville, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file with the SEC no later than May 3, 2024, a registration statement for the resale by Yorkville of the shares of common stock issued under the SEPA (including the commitment fee shares). The Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective within 45 days of such filing and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement during the 36-month commitment period. The Company will not have the ability to request any Advances under the SEPA (nor may Yorkville convert the Initial Advance into common stock) until such resale registration statement is declared effective by the SEC. The Company has not yet filed a registration statement with the SEC for the resale by Yorkville of the shares of common stock issued under the SEPA, which is deemed an event of default under the SEPA and as a result, the interest rate on the on the Yorkville convertible promissory note (see Note 7) increased to 18.0%.

The Company determined that the SEPA should be accounted for as a derivative measured at fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized in earnings. Because the Company has not yet filed a registration statement and no shares can currently be issued under the SEPA, the SEPA is deemed to have no value as of the issuance date and as of September 30, 2024.

Warrants

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 10,905,901 outstanding warrants to purchase Class A common stock. A summary of the warrants is as follows:

(2)The number of Public Warrants and Sponsor Warrants outstanding was not adjusted for the reverse stock split. There are 14,374,478 Public Warrants and 8,499,999 Sponsor Warrants outstanding. After the reverse stock split, the number of warrants outstanding remains the same. However, each outstanding warrant is now exercisable for one-tenth of a share of Class A common stock, and the exercise price per share was adjusted to $115.00 as a result of the split.

(3) In connection with the execution of the Starr Forbearance Agreement on March 13, 2024, described above under Warrant Modification and further in Note 7, the Company agreed to reprice 75,000 warrants with a previous exercise price of $7.10 and 50,000 warrants with a previous exercise price of $8.10 held by C.V. Starr to a new exercise price of $5.895. The term of the warrants was unchanged.

Stock-Based Compensation

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

In July 2021, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) to employees and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options (“NSOs”), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards and other forms of stock awards to employees, directors and consultants.

The number of shares of Class A Common Stock initially reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan is 2,091,528. As of September 30, 2024,1,254,803 shares remain available for future grant under the 2021 Plan. The number of shares reserved for issuance will automatically increase on January 1 of each year, for a period of 10 years, from January 1, 2022 through January 1, 2031, by 4.0% of the total number of shares of Celularity common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, or a lesser number of shares as may be determined by the Company’s board of directors. Shares subject to stock awards granted under the 2021 Plan that expire or terminate without being exercised in full, or that are paid out in cash rather than in shares, will not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. Additionally, shares issued pursuant to stock awards under the 2021 Plan that are repurchased or forfeited, as well as shares that are reacquired as consideration for the exercise or purchase price of a stock award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to a stock award, will become available for future grant under the 2021 Plan.

The 2021 Plan is administered by the Company’s board of directors. The Company’s board of directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, may delegate to one or more officers the authority to (i) designate employees other than officers to receive specified stock awards and (ii) determine the number of shares to be subject to such stock awards. Subject to the terms of the 2021 Plan, the plan administrator has the authority to determine the terms of awards, including recipients, the exercise price or strike price of stock awards, if any, the number of shares subject to each stock award, the fair market value of a share, the vesting schedule applicable to the awards, together with any vesting acceleration, the form of consideration, if any, payable upon exercise or settlement of the stock award and the terms and conditions of the award agreements for use under the 2021 Plan. The plan administrator has the power to modify outstanding awards under the 2021 Plan. Subject to the terms of the 2021 Plan and in connection with a corporate transaction or capitalization adjustment, the plan administrator may not reprice or cancel and regrant any award at a lower exercise price, strike price or purchase price or cancel any award with an exercise price, strike price or purchase price in exchange for cash, property or other awards without first obtaining the approval of the Company’s stockholders.

2017 Equity Incentive Plan

The 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) adopted by Legacy Celularity’s board of directors and approved by Legacy Celularity’s stockholders provided for Legacy Celularity to grant stock options to employees, directors and consultants of Legacy Celularity. In connection with the closing of the merger and effectiveness of the 2021 Plan, no further grants will be made under the 2017 Plan.

The total number of stock options that could have been issued under the 2017 Plan was 3,234,204. Shares that expired, forfeited, canceled or otherwise terminated without having been fully exercised were available for future grant under the 2017 Plan.

The 2017 Plan is administered by the Company’s board of directors or, at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, by a committee of the board of directors. The exercise prices, vesting and other restrictions were determined at the discretion of Legacy Celularity’s board of directors, or its committee if so delegated, except that the exercise price per share of stock options could not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the share of common stock on the date of grant and the term of stock option could not be greater thanten years. Stock options granted to employees, officers, members of the board of directors and consultants typically vested over athree orfour year period.

Stock Option Valuation

Awards with Service Conditions

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account inputs such as the exercise price, the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock at grant date, expected term, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. The fair value of each grant of stock options was determined by the Company using the methods and assumptions discussed below. Certain of these inputs are subjective and generally require judgment to determine.

The expected term of employee stock options with service-based vesting is determined using the “simplified” method, whereby the expected life equals the arithmetic average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the option due to the Company’s lack of sufficient historical data. The expected term of non-employee options is equal to the contractual term or its estimated term based on the underlying agreement.

The expected stock price volatility is based on historical volatilities of comparable public entities within the Company’s industry.

The risk-free interest rate is based on the interest rate payable on U.S. Treasury securities in effect at the time of grant for a period that is commensurate with the respective expected term or contractual term.

The expected dividend yield is 0% because the Company has not historically paid, and does not expect, for the foreseeable future, to pay a dividend on its common stock.

The following table presents, on a weighted average basis, the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant-date fair value of stock options granted during thenine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Nine Months Ended September 30,
20242023
Risk-free interest rate4.5%4.1%
Expected term (in years)5.55.6
Expected volatility110.8%86.5%
Expected dividend yield0%0%

The weighted average grant-date fair value per share of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $3.10 and $0.39, respectively.

The following table summarizes option activity with service conditions under the 2021 Plan and the 2017 Plan:

  • Options outstanding at September 30, 2024 under the 2021 Plan and 2017 Plan were 1,979,953 and 1,475,096, respectively. Options outstanding at September 30, 2024 under the 2021 Plan include 45,000 awards with performance conditions (see below).

The aggregate intrinsic value of options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the stock options and the fair value of the Company's Class A common stock for those options that had exercise prices lower than the fair value of Class A common stock.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense relating to option awards with service conditions of $2,077 and $6,306 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense relating to option awards with service conditions of $2,255 and $6,952 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, unrecognized compensation cost for options issued with service conditions was $8,370 and will be recognized over an estimated weighted-average amortization period of 2.62 years.

Awards with Performance Conditions

In connection with the advisory agreement signed with Robin L. Smith, MD (see Note 15), the Company awarded options under the 2021 Plan to acquire a total of 105,000 shares with an exercise price of $29.90 to Dr. Smith, a former member of the Company’s board of directors. The initial tranche of 25,000 stock options vested upon execution of the advisory agreement on August 16, 2022. The remaining 80,000 stock options are subject to vesting upon achievement of certain predefined milestones in relation to the expansion of the degenerative disease business. On November 1, 2022, the second tranche of 20,000 stock options vested upon achievement of the first milestone. The fair value of the award was determined based on a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company's grant date fair value assumptions were 79.9% expected volatility,2.95% risk-free interest rate, five-year expected term, and 0% expected dividend yield. The remaining 60,000 stock options were forfeited on August 16, 2023 upon termination of the advisory agreement. There were nomilestones achieved or probable of being achieved and accordingly there wasno stock-based compensation recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Awards with Market Conditions

In September 2021, the Company awarded options to acquire a total of 246,928 shares with an exercise price of $63.20 to the Company’s former President in connection with the commencement of his employment. The grant was comprised of four equal tranches, and would vest in up to five equal installments in respect of achieving certain share price targets between the third and fourth anniversary of the effective date, subject to his continued employment with the Company. The Company’s President resigned effective August 31, 2022, and the entirety of the President’s award was terminated at such time, all previously recognized stock-based compensation expense was reversed, and a consulting agreement was signed thereafter, refer to Note 15 for further details.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company issues restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees that generally vest over afour-year period, with 25.0% vesting on the anniversary of the grant date, and the remainder vesting in equal annual installments thereafter so that the RSUs are vested in full on thefour-year anniversary of the grant date. At times, the board of directors may approve exceptions to the standard RSU vesting terms. Any unvested shares will be forfeited upon termination of services. The fair value of an RSU is equal to the fair market value price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. RSU expense is amortized straight-line over the vesting period. There are no RSUs outstanding under the 2017 Plan.

The following table summarizes activity related to RSU stock-based payment awards under the 2021 Plan:

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $595 and $2,322 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, related to RSUs. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $1,343 and $4,490 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, related to RSUs. As of September 30, 2024, the total unrecognized expense related to all RSUs was $4,086, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.20 years.

Stock Units with Market Condition Vesting

In July 2023, the Company granted 174,500 market condition stock unit awards ("MCUs”) under the 2021 Plan to certain members of management. The awards are scheduled to vest over a period ofone tothree years from the grant date based on continuous employment and specified market conditions based on the Company's stock price at the time of vest. As of September 30, 2024,145,833 of the MCUs were forfeited as a result of the participant's termination of continuous service. Stock-based compensation expense for the remaining 28,667 MCUs is being recognized over the requisite service period based on the award's fair value on the grant date, which was determined based on the Company's closing stock price on the date of grant of $5.00, further discounted to reflect the effects of the market condition of the award.

("Regeneron"), pursuant to which the Company will support the research effort of Regeneron's allogeneic cell therapy candidates (the "Regeneron Services Agreement"). The Regeneron Services Agreement’s initial focus is the research on a targeted allogeneic gamma delta chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy owned by Regeneron designed to enhance proliferation and potency against solid tumors. Payments to the Company under the Regeneron Services Agreement included a non-­refundable up-front payment and payments based upon the achievement of defined milestones according to written statements of work. The Regeneron Services Agreement will expire five years from the effective date and may be terminated immediately by either party for the uncured material breach, bankruptcy, or insolvency of the other party. Regeneron may also terminate for convenience upon 30 days’ written notice.

The Regeneron Services Agreement grants Regeneron a royalty-free, fully-paid up, worldwide, non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to the Company’s intellectual property ("IP”) to the extent that any such license is necessary for Regeneron to fully use the Company’s research services. The Company determined that the (1) research licenses and (2) the research activities performed by the Company represent a single combined performance obligation under the Regeneron Services Agreement. The Company determined that Regeneron cannot benefit from the licenses separately from the research activities because these services are specialized and rely on the Company’s expertise such that these activities are highly interrelated and therefore not distinct. Accordingly, the promised goods and services represent one combined performance obligation and the entire transaction price was allocated to that single combined performance obligation. The performance obligation will be satisfied over the research term as the Company performs the research activities.

The upfront payment of $750 was recorded as deferred revenue as of September 30, 2024, and will be recognized as revenue as the combined performance obligation is satisfied. The Company recognizes revenue using the cost-to-cost method, which it believes best depicts the transfer of control to the customer over time. Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to the total estimated costs expected upon satisfying the identified performance obligation. Under this method, revenue is recorded as a percentage of the estimated transaction price based on the extent of progress towards completion. As of December 31, 2023, the potential research milestone payments that the Company is eligible to receive and have not been achieved, and were excluded from the transaction price as they were fully constrained by uncertain events. The Company will reevaluate the transaction price at the end of each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur, and if necessary, the Company will adjust its estimate of the transaction price. Any additions to the transaction price would be reflected in the period as a cumulative revenue catch-up based on the ratio of costs incurred to the total estimated costs expected applied to the revised transaction price.

Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. License and Transfer Agreement

The Company and Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. ("Sorrento"), a related party through September 30, 2023, are party to a License and Transfer Agreement for the exclusive worldwide license to CD19 CAR-T constructs for use in placenta-derived cells and/or cord blood-derived cells for the treatment of any disease or disorder (the "2020 Sorrento License Agreement”). The Company retains the right to sublicense the rights granted under the agreement with Sorrento’s prior written consent. As consideration for the license, the Company is obligated to pay Sorrento a royalty equal to low single-digit percentage of net sales (as defined within the agreement) and a royalty equal to low double-digit percentage of all sublicensing revenues (as defined within the agreement). The 2020 Sorrento License Agreement will remain in effect until terminated by either the Company or Sorrento for uncured material breach upon 90 days written notice or, after the first anniversary of the effective date of the 2020 Sorrento License Agreement, by the Company for convenience upon six months’ written notice to Sorrento. On October 19, 2023, Sorrento filed a Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas which plan contemplates a liquidation of the debtor. If the Plan is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, the Company believes that Sorrento will not be able to perform under the license and that any rights the Company might have under the license would be unenforceable. After assessing the status of the IND to determine an optional path forward for the program, the Company elected to terminate development of CYCART-19 for B-cell malignancies during the third quarter of 2023. The Company may continue pre-clinical development of other T-cell candidates.

The option fee paid by the Company will be applied towards an initial license fee as outlined in the sublicense agreement. The Company is required to use diligent and reasonable efforts to develop and obtain regulatory approval to market at least one licensed product contingent upon a firm written commitment to provide further financing to the Company. The $3,000 option fee was recorded as acquired IPR&D expense included in research and development expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for thenine months ended September 30, 2023, as the acquired IPR&D had no alternative future use.

Segment Information

The Company regularly reviews its segments and the approach used by management to evaluate performance and allocate resources. The Company manages its operations through an evaluation ofthree distinct business segments: Cell Therapy, Degenerative Disease, and BioBanking. The chief operating decision maker uses the revenues and earnings (losses) of the operating segments, among other factors, for performance evaluation and resource allocation among these segments.

The reportable segments were determined based on the distinct nature of the activities performed by each segment. Cell Therapy broadly refers to therapies the Company is researching and developing. Therapies being researched are unproven and in various phases of development. Degenerative Disease produces, sells and licenses products used in surgical and wound care markets. BioBanking collects stem cells from umbilical cords and placentas and provides storage of such cells on behalf of individuals for future use.

The Company manages its assets on a total company basis, not by operating segment. Therefore, the chief operating decision maker does not regularly review any asset information or related income statement effects by operating segment and, accordingly, asset information is not reported by operating segment. Total assets were $128,840 and $143,889 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
