Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- Nature of the Business
Vor Biopharma Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical-stage company advancing telitacicept, a novel, dual-target recombinant fusion protein that inhibits both BLyS (BAFF) and APRIL—two key cytokines involved in B cell survival and autoantibody production. This dual-target mechanism reduces autoreactive B cells and autoantibody production, key drivers of autoimmune pathology. The Company is headquartered in Massachusetts. The Company was incorporated on December 30, 2015.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to a number of risks common to development stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, risks of failure of clinical trials, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, reliance on third party organizations, uncertainty of obtaining regulatory approval for any product candidate that it may develop, development by competitors of technological innovations, compliance with government regulations, adverse macroeconomic conditions and the need to obtain additional financing.
The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur significant operating losses for the next several years as it continues to develop its product candidate and any future product candidates. As a result, the Company’s continued operations are dependent on its ability to raise additional funding. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, it may be forced to significantly curtail, delay, or discontinue one or more of its clinical trials or be unable to expand its operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had$200.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and an accumulated deficit of$2,063.1 million. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur significant operating losses for the next several years as it continues to develop, and if approved commercialize, its product candidate and any future product candidates. As a result, the Company’s continued operations are dependent on its ability to raise additional funding. In June 2025, the Company raised $174.4 million in net cash proceeds through the issuance of the 2025 PIPE Warrants (as defined below). Refer to Note 7 for additional information on the 2025 PIPE Warrants.
The Company has evaluated whether there are 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 a result of the issuance of the 2025 Warrants and receipt of the associated net cash proceeds, the Company has alleviated the substantial doubt that previously existed and management believes, based on its current operating plans, the Company has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its obligations over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management considers many factors in selecting appropriate financial accounting policies in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Management must apply significant judgment in this process. Management’s estimation process often may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. Estimates are used in the following areas, among others: accrued expenses, stock-based compensation expense, the fair value of financial instruments including warrants, and research and development expenses.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the reported interim periods. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or any other interim period.
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to GAAP or the rules and regulations of the SEC. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”).
Other than the policies listed below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the 2024 Annual Report.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants to purchase its common stock based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the liability classification requirements pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
Warrants classified as equity are recorded at fair value as of the date of issuance on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and no further adjustments to their initial valuation will be subsequently made. Warrants that require separate accounting as liabilities are recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at their fair value on the date of issuance and are revalued at each subsequent balance sheet date until such instruments are exercised or expired, or meet the criteria to become equity-classified, with any changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded as a component of other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company has both equity-classified and liability-classified warrants outstanding.
Restructuring Costs
Employee severance costs are recorded based on whether the termination benefits are provided under an on-going benefit arrangement or under a one-time benefit arrangement. The Company accounts for on-going termination benefit arrangements, such as those arising from employment agreements, applicable regulations or past practices, in accordance with ASC 712, Compensation-Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits. Under ASC 712, liabilities for post-employment benefits are recorded at the time the obligations are probable of being incurred and can be reasonably estimated. The Company accounts for one-time employment benefit arrangements in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. One-time termination benefits are expensed at the date the entity notifies the employee, unless the employee must provide future service over a period extending past the minimum notification period, in which case the benefits are expensed ratably over the future service period. Other associated costs are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. See Note 12 for additional information on the severance expense that the Company recognized for employees terminated in connection with the Restructuring Plan (as defined below).

- Stockholders' Equity and Warrants
2024 Private Placement
On December 27, 2024, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with certain institutional investors (collectively, the “2024 Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the 2024 Purchasers in a private placement an aggregate of (i)55,871,260 shares of the Company's common stock and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 69,839,075 shares of the Company's common stock (the “2024 Warrants”) at the closing of the private placement on December 30, 2024. Net proceeds from the private placement were $52.7 million, after deducting placement fees and issuance costs payable by the Company.
The 2024 Warrants have an exercise price of $0.838 per share and are immediately exercisable, subject to certain limitations on exercise set forth in the 2024 Warrants. The 2024 Warrants will terminate seven years from issuance on December 30, 2031.
The Company determined that the 2024 Warrants are freestanding instruments that do not meet the definition of a liability or derivative. The 2024 Warrants are indexed to the Company’s common stock and meet all other conditions for equity classification.
Accordingly, the 2024 Warrants are classified as equity and accounted for as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time issued.
2025 Private Placement
On June 25, 2025, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with certain institutional investors (collectively, the “2025 Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the 2025 Purchasers in a private placement warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 700,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the “2025 PIPE Warrants”) at the closing on June 27, 2025. Net proceeds from the private placement were $174.4 million, after deducting issuance costs payable by the Company. In addition to the 2025 PIPE Warrants, on June 25, 2025 the Company issued a warrant to purchase up to 320,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as partial consideration for the Telitacicept License Agreement to a subsidiary of RemeGen (“RemeGen Warrants”). Refer to Note 10 for additional information on the license arrangement. The 2025 PIPE Warrants and RemeGen Warrants are collectively referred to as the 2025 Warrants.
The 2025 Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and are exercisable upon stockholder approval of the issuance of the underlying shares and an amendment to the certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares, subject to certain limitations on exercise set forth in the 2025 Warrants. The 2025 Warrants do not expire.
Upon issuance, the 2025 Warrants were liability-classified as they are not considered indexed to the Company’s common stock. The 2025 Warrants are measured at fair value each period with changes in fair value presented within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The initial carrying value of the 2025 PIPE Warrants and the RemeGen Warrants at issuance was $175.0 million and $177.4 million, respectively. Issuance costs related to the 2025 PIPE Warrants were expensed as incurred. As of June 30, 2025, the 2025 Warrants were outstanding with a fair value of $1,652.3 million, representing an increase of $1,299.9 million that was recognized as a change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The valuation of the warrants is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of observable market inputs, primarily the quoted price of the Company’s common stock underlying the warrants.
The Company also determined that both the 2024 Warrants and 2025 Warrants should be included in the determination of diluted net loss per share if their impact is dilutive. However, they are not included within diluted net loss per share for the period ended June 30, 2025 as the effect would be antidilutive. As of June 30, 2025, none of the 2024 Warrants or 2025 Warrants have been exercised.
- Stock-Based Compensation
2023 Inducement Plan
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had 69,668,889 shares of its common stock available for future issuance under the 2023 Inducement Plan.
Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had 6,027,849 shares of its common stock available for future issuance under its Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan.
Stock Options
The Company’s stock options generally vest ratably over afour-year period and have a contractual term often years. The weighted-average assumptions used principally in determining the fair value of new options granted during the periods presented were as follows:
| Six Months Ended June 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Expected term (in years) | 6.1 | 5.9 |
| Expected volatility | 98.9% | 89.8% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.9% | 4.2% |
| Dividend yield | — | — |
During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company granted new stock options to purchase 87,549,888 shares and 1,722,725 shares of its common stock, respectively, with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of$0.73 and $1.74 per share, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options was$66.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during thesix months ended June 30, 2025 was immaterial.
As of June 30, 2025, there wereno shares that were both exercised and unvested.
Option Repricing
On February 3, 2025, the Company's board of directors approved a stock option repricing (the “Option Repricing”) whereby the exercise price of certain outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock was reduced to $1.34 per share. The repricing applied to options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock held by continuing employees as of February 3, 2025 that had an exercise price per share greater than $1.34; provided that holders of repriced options must remain in continuous service with the Company through February 3, 2026 or, if earlier, a change in control of the Company or 30 days prior to the applicable repriced option’s original expiration date (the “Retention Period”). If any such repriced option is exercised prior to the end of the Retention Period, the exercise price per share will be the original exercise price per share, and not the repriced exercise price. The total number of shares underlying all repriced options was approximately 6.76 million shares. The repriced options previously had exercise prices ranging from $1.36 to $44.96 per share.
Management determined that the Option Repricing represents a modification of share-based awards and calculated incremental compensation cost of approximately $1.9 million resulting from the modification. However, as the conditions of the modified terms are not expected to be met as of June 30, 2025, the Company reversed any previously recognized incremental compensation cost associated with the modification during the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Restricted Stock Units
During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company granted 1,224,000 restricted stock units and 1,119,149 restricted stock units, respectively, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of$1.33 and$2.38 per share, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock units was$2.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had 2,318,649 shares of its common stock available for issuance under its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued 669,888 shares with a weighted-average purchase price of $0.15 under the ESPP, which resulted in an immaterial amount of compensation expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 74,326 shares with a weighted-average purchase price of $1.48 under the ESPP, which resulted in an immaterial amount of compensation expense.
Equity Award Modification
In connection with the Restructuring Plan, the Company executed an equity award modification which accelerated the vesting of the former Chief Executive Officer’s restricted stock units and options as a part of his consulting and separation agreement. The modification additionally extended the period for which vested options can be exercised following the employee’s final day of employment. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $0.5 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the equity award modification as general and administrative expense within the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |

| General and administrative | 1,245 | 1,521 | 2,136 | 3,197 |
| Total stock-based compensation expense | $1,844 | $2,793 | $3,777 | $5,874 |
- Leases
Cambridgepark Lease Amendments
In December 2019, the Company entered into a lease agreement for office and laboratory space (the “Cambridgepark Lease”) in Cambridge, Massachusetts with PPF Off 100 Cambridge Park Drive, LLC (the “Landlord”). During 2021 and 2022, the Company entered into various lease amendments with the Landlord to obtain additional leased space (the “Lease Amendments”).
In connection with the Restructuring Plan, the Company entered into an early termination agreement with the Landlord on June 20, 2025, pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate the lease, effective August 4, 2025. Per the terms of such agreement, the Company made a non-refundable termination fee in the amount of $8.5 million to the Landlord. The early termination was treated as a lease modification for accounting purposes. As a result of the modification, the Company remeasured the lease liability and recognized a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset as of the date of the modification. Additionally, as of June 30, 2025, the space was determined to be abandoned, thus the Company has accelerated amortization of the right-of-use asset and de-recognized any remaining balances during the period.
In conjunction with the Cambridgepark Lease, the Company was required to execute an irrevocable standby letter of credit of $2.4 million for the benefit of the Landlord. As of June 30, 2025, the funds securing the letter of credit were presented as restricted cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The funds were released to the Company in July 2025.
The elements of lease expense were as follows:

- Significant Agreements
Telitacicept License Agreement
On June 25, 2025, the Company and RemeGen Co., Ltd. (“RemeGen”) entered into a license agreement (the “Telitacicept License Agreement”) granting the Company exclusive rights to develop and commercialize RemeGen’s proprietary fusion protein compound, telitacicept (the “Licensed Compound”), outside of the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan (collectively, “Greater China”). RemeGen retains all rights to the Licensed Compound in Greater China. Under the License
Agreement, the Company received an exclusive (even as to RemeGen) license under RemeGen’s patents and know-how to exploit, develop and commercialize the Licensed Compound in all territories other than Greater China, with the right to grant sublicenses. The Company also received a non-exclusive license to manufacture the Licensed Compound and any resulting licensed products (“Licensed Products”) worldwide solely for use in the licensed territory. The Company is responsible for all development, regulatory and commercialization activities and costs in the licensed territory, including the conduct of clinical trials and regulatory submissions. The Telitacicept License Agreement established a joint steering committee (“JSC”) to oversee the ongoing development and commercialization of telitacicept. The JSC comprises an equal number of senior-level executives from each party; however, final decision-making authority as it relates to the development and commercialization of the Licensed Compound outside Greater China lies with the Company.
As consideration for the rights granted, the Company agreed to make an upfront cash payment in the amount of $45.0 million and issued the RemeGen Warrants to a subsidiary of RemeGen, which were initially valued at $177.4 million. Refer to Note 7 for details on the terms of the RemeGen Warrants. The $45.0 million cash payment due to RemeGen has been accrued for within accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025. The Company incurred $0.2 million in transaction costs related to the Telitacicept License Agreement.
The Company accounted for the Telitacicept License Agreement as an asset acquisition as substantially all of the value received was concentrated in the Licensed Compound which does not have an alternate future use as it is not yet approved for commercial sale in the licensed territory. The Company recognized a $222.6 million charge to research and development expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss at the time of the completion of the asset acquisition during the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company has elected to classify the $222.6 million charge as an operating cash outflow on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
Pursuant to the terms of the Telitacicept License Agreement, RemeGen is eligible to receive up to $330 million in regulatory milestone payments and up to $3.775 billion in sales milestone payments. In addition, RemeGen is entitled to receive tiered royalties on net sales of the Licensed Products in the licensed territory, ranging from high single digit to mid-teen percentages of net sales, subject to customary reductions. If the Company enters into a sublicense or divests rights to the Licensed Products prior to a specified development event and other than in connection with a change of control, RemeGen is entitled to receive a single digit percentage of certain net proceeds from such transactions. The Telitacicept License Agreement also provides for technology transfer, mutual indemnification and confidentiality. As of June 30, 2025, no milestone or royalty payments have been accrued for as the consideration is not yet payable per the terms of the Agreement.
The Telitacicept License Agreement may be terminated, in its entirety or on a region-by-region basis, by either party for material breach (subject to cure periods and dispute resolution) or insolvency of the other party, by the Company for convenience with advance notice, or by RemeGen if the Company challenges the validity of licensed patents. Upon termination, all rights and licenses in the terminated region will revert to RemeGen, with a wind-down period for the Company to cease activities.
Since December 31, 2024, there have been no additional material changes to the key terms of the Company’s other license agreements. For further information regarding the Company’s other license agreements, refer to Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Annual Report.

- Restructuring Plan
On May 5, 2025, the Company’s board of directors approved the wind down of the Company’s then clinical and manufacturing operations and the initiation of a process to explore strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value (referred to as the “Restructuring Plan”). The Company publicly announced this plan on May 8, 2025.
In conjunction with the Restructuring Plan, the Company announced a reduction of its workforce by 154 full-time employees, or approximately 99% of the Company’s then-current employee base. Total severance and benefit costs incurred as of June 30, 2025 were$14.1 million. These costs were recognized in accordance with either ASC 712 or ASC 420, depending on the agreements with impacted employees. An additional$0.2 million of costs will be recognized in future periods through August 15, 2025, for certain costs which met the criteria for one-time termination benefits and require employees to provide future service.
As discussed in Notes 5 and 9, in connection with the Restructuring Plan, the Company sold certain long-lived assets as well as abandoned a right-of-use asset and other property and equipment. The disposals and abandonments resulted in a loss on disposal of$3.3 million, accelerated depreciation of$1.5 million, and accelerated amortization of right-of-use assets of $11.2 million, all of which were incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2025. Management concluded that the disposals do not meet the criteria for discontinued operations as they do not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

The Company incurred a total of$30.7 million of restructuring costs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
