Prelude Therapeutics Inc

1. Background

Prelude Therapeutics Incorporated (the “Company”) is a clinical-stage precision oncology company built on a foundation of drug discovery excellence to deliver novel precision cancer medicines to underserved patients. Since beginning operations in 2016, the Company has devoted substantially all its efforts to research and development, conducting preclinical and clinical studies, recruiting management and technical staff, administration, and raising capital.

2. Risks and liquidity

The Company faces a number of risks common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry. Principal among these risks are the uncertainties in the development process, development of the same or similar technological innovations by competitors, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, compliance with government regulations and approval requirements, and the need to obtain additional financing to fund operations. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel infrastructure, and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, adequate protection for the Company’s technology will be obtained, any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval, or any approved products will be commercially viable. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial competition from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, which requires management to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Since its inception, the Company has incurred operating losses and had an accumulated deficit of$646.9 million as of June 30, 2025. The Company has no product revenue to date and devotes its efforts to research and development. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales of its product candidates currently in development.

At June 30, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities totaling $77.3 million. Absent additional funding, the Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities will not be sufficient tofund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As a result, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above.

To fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements, the Company plans to seek additional funding through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, and the Company may not be able to enter into strategic alliances or other arrangements on favorable terms, or at all. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company’s stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain funding, it could be required to delay, reduce or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

The complete summary of significant accounting policies included in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 can be found in “Note 3. Summary of significant accounting policies” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 10, 2025.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 10, 2025. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

Use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, and the effects of the revisions are reflected in the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. The most significant estimate relates to accrued clinical trial expenses.

Income taxes

Based upon the historical and anticipated future losses, management has determined that the deferred tax assets generated by net operating losses and research and development credits do not meet the more likely than not threshold for realizability. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company views and manages its operations as asingle operating segment.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted cash

The Company’s cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less when purchased and are carried at fair value in the accompanying balance sheets.

Restricted cash consists of a letter of credit for the benefit of the landlord in connection with the Company’s Chestnut Run Lease. See Note 8 for further details.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the balance sheet that total to the amounts shown in the statement of cash flows:

Marketable Securities

The Company’s marketable securities consist of investments in corporate debt securities and United States (“U.S.”) government debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale. The securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses as well as credit losses, if any, on marketable securities are included in the Company’s statements of operations. The Company classifies marketable securities that are available for use in current operations as current assets on the balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue under Accounting Standard Codification 606 –Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company's revenue recognition analysis consists of the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue as we satisfy each performance obligation.

The Company evaluates all promised goods and services within a customer contract and determines which goods and services are separate performance obligations. This evaluation includes an assessment of whether the good or service is capable of being distinct and whether the good or service is separable from other promises in the contract.

The transaction price is determined based on the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligations when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company recognizes a liability when the Company has received payment but has not yet satisfied the related performance obligations.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, including pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share of common stock includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise of securities, such as stock options, and the effect from unvested restricted stock units which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. For diluted net loss per share, 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.

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, as they would be anti-dilutive:

Amounts in the above table reflect the common stock equivalents.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these unaudited interim financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. The Company anticipates that it will no longer be an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2025 and, as a result, we will no longer be able to take advantage of reduced disclosure and other obligations that are available to emerging growth companies after that date. However, even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a “smaller reporting company” which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements and other obligations.

Accounting guidance not yet adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced income tax disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard but does not expect that it will have a material impact on the financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Marketable Securities

The following provides detail of the Company's marketable securities.

The Company’s marketable securities generally have contractual maturity dates of 7 months or less. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had 18 securities with a total fair market value of $26.4 million in an unrealized loss position. The Company believes any unrealized losses associated with the decline in value of its securities is temporary and is primarily related to market factors. Furthermore, the Company believes it is more likely than not that it will be able to hold its marketable securities to maturity. Therefore, the Company anticipates a full recovery of the amortized cost basis of its marketable securities at maturity and an allowance for credit losses was not recognized.

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is the price that could be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value determination in accordance with applicable accounting guidance requires that a number of significant judgments be made. Additionally, fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to evaluate assets for impairment or as required for disclosure purposes by applicable accounting guidance on disclosures about fair value of financial instruments. Depending on the nature of the assets and liabilities, various valuation techniques and assumptions are used when estimating fair value. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. The guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

•

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liabilities.

•

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

6. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following:

7. Common Stock

The Company has two classes of common stock: “voting common stock” and “non-voting common stock.”The holders of the voting common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of voting common stock held at all meetings of stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of non-voting common stock shall not be entitled to vote at any meetings of stockholders (or written actions in lieu of meetings) and the shares of non-voting common stock shall not be included in determining the number of shares voting or entitled to vote on any matter. Unless required by law, there shall be no cumulative voting. Any holder of non-voting common stock may elect to convert each share of non-voting common stock into one fully paid and non-assessable share of voting common stock at any time by providing written notice to the Company; provided that as a result of such conversion, such holder, together with its affiliates and any members of a Schedule 13(d) group with such holder, would not beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to and following such conversion, unless otherwise as expressly provided for in the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation. However, this ownership limitation may be increased (not to exceed 19.99%) or decreased to any other percentage designated by such holder of non-voting common stock upon 61 days’ notice to the Company.

Shelf Registration Statements

In May 2024, the Company filed a shelf registration statement (the "2024 Shelf Registration Statement") with the SEC for the issuance of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, subscription rights and units up to an aggregate amount of $400 million. The 2024 Shelf Registration statement was declared effective on June 10, 2024. The 2024 Shelf Registration statement expires in May 2027, and as of June 30, 2025, there was $400.0 million remaining under the 2024 Shelf Registration statement.

Open Market Sales Agreement

In March 2023, in connection with filing a prospectus supplement to the shelf registration statement filed in November 2021 (the “2021 Shelf Registration Statement"), the Company entered into an Open Market Sales Agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with Jefferies LLC, as the sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering amount of up to $75.0 million. In November 2024, the 2021 Shelf Registration Statement expired with respect to the shares to be sold under the Sales Agreement. Accordingly, the Company will need to register the $75.0 million of common stock that may be issued and sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement on a subsequent registration statement before any future sales are permitted. The Company will pay Jefferies LLC a commission rate of up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of any shares of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement. At June 30, 2025, there was $75.0 million remaining under the Sales Agreement.

Pre-funded warrants

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company sold pre-funded warrants to purchase 12,895,256 shares of voting common stock at a price of $5.7499 per pre-funded warrant and during the fourth quarter of 2023 the Company sold pre-funded warrants to purchase 7,936,759 shares of voting common stock at a price of $3.1499 per pre-funded warrant.

The purchase price per share of each pre-funded warrant represented the per share offering price for the common stock, minus the $0.0001 per share exercise price of such pre-funded warrant.

The pre-funded warrants were classified as a component of permanent stockholders’ equity within additional paid-in capital and were recorded at the issuance date using a relative fair value allocation method. The pre-funded warrants are equity classified because they (i) are freestanding financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the equity instruments, (ii) are immediately exercisable, (iii) do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, (iv) permit the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise, (v) are indexed to the Company’s common stock and (vi) meet the equity classification criteria. In addition, such pre-funded warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return.

There were 1,300,000 pre-funded warrants exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company did not conduct any financings during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

8. Commitments

Leases

The Company leases office and laboratory space in Wilmington, Delaware under a noncancelable lease (the “Chestnut Run Lease”). The premises include approximately 81,000 rentable square feet and has an initial term of 162 months with 3 five-year extension options and certain expansion rights. Neither the option to extend nor the expansion rights were recognized as part of the Company's measurement of the right-of-use ("ROU") asset and operating lease liability as of June 30, 2025. Under the terms of the Chestnut Run Lease, the landlord provided an allowance towards the cost of completing tenant improvements for the premises. The Company concluded that the improvements resulting from both the landlord's build-out and the tenant improvements are the landlord's assets for accounting purposes. Costs incurred by the Company related to tenant improvements in excess of the landlord's allowance were treated as prepaid rent and increased the right-of-use asset on the commencement date.

In April 2024, the Company entered into a 12 month finance lease for equipment. The final payment under the agreement was made in April 2025.

Our operating lease costs for the three and six months ended for both June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $1.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Supplemental balance sheet and other information related to our operating and finance leases as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

Supplemental cash flow information related to our leases for thesix months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

Future minimum annual lease payments for operating lease at June 30, 2025 are as follows:

The Company paid a security deposit for the Chestnut Run Lease in the form of a letter of credit of $4.0 million, which is included in the accompanying balance sheet as restricted cash as of June 30, 2025. The security deposit may be reduced to $0.5 million over time in accordance with the terms of the Chestnut Run Lease. The letter of credit was reduced to $3.2 million in July 2025.

Employment Agreements

The Company has employment agreements with key personnel providing for compensation and severance in certain circumstances, as defined in the respective employment agreements.

401(k) Defined Contribution Plan

The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined‑contribution plan covering all employees. Participants are permitted to contribute up to 100% of their eligible annual pretax compensation up to an established federal limit on aggregate participant contributions. The Company provides a match of a maximum amount of 3% of the participant’s compensation. For each of thethree months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company made matching contributions of$0.2 million. For each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company made matching contributions of$0.4 million.

Research Collaboration Agreement

In 2023, the Company entered into a multi-year, multi-program agreement with AbCellera Biologics Incorporated ("AbCellera") to jointly discover, develop, and commercialize novel oncology medicines for up to five programs. Under the terms of the agreement, AbCellera will lead manufacturing activities and the Company will lead clinical development and global commercialization, subject to AbCellera’s option to co-promote any resulting commercial products in the United States. If, at any point one party in the collaboration opts-out of future co-development cost sharing, that party will be entitled to a royalty from commercialization of the collaboration target, dependent on the proportion of their co-development contributions compared to the total development costs of a target as defined within the agreement. The Company concluded that the agreement with AbCellera will be accounted for under the scope of ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements, as both parties will actively participate in joint operating activities and are exposed to significant risks and rewards. Under ASC 808, certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should follow the accounting for revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer for a distinct good or service. The Company determined that co-development arrangement as defined in our agreement with AbCellera does not meet the definition of a customer as defined by ASC 606. As a result, these activities will be accounted for as research and development costs. Costs related to the AbCellera collaboration were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

License Agreement

In May 2024, the Company and Pathos AI, Inc. ("Pathos") entered into a license agreement under which the Company granted to Pathos an exclusive, sublicensable, world-wide license to its selective, brain-penetrant PRMT5 inhibitor, PRT811. Under the terms of the license agreement, the Company received a $3.0 million upfront, non-refundable payment. The agreement also included a near term $4.0 million payment upon the earlier of 180 days following the effective date of the license agreement or the execution of a quality agreement between the parties pursuant to which the Company transferred title to certain quantities of Active Pharmaceutical

Ingredient(“API”). In addition, the Company may receive potential developmental milestone payments up to $37.0 million, potential sales milestone payments up to $100 million and a range of high single-digit to low double-digit royalties on PRT811 global net sales.

The Company assessed the license agreement with Pathos in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer, and concluded that Pathos is a customer. The license agreement with Pathos including the transfer of the following goods or services: (i) exclusive license to PRT811, (ii) transfer of licensed know-how and materials (i.e. datasets, regulatory and manufacturing documents, etc.), (iii) participation in a Joint Communication Committee ("JCC"), and (iv) execution of a quality agreement pursuant to which the Company transferred title to certain API. The Company evaluated all of the promised goods or services within the contract and determined which goods and services were separate performance obligations. The Company determined that Pathos could not benefit from the license separately from the related know-how and materials, accordingly they represent one combined performance obligation. The execution of a quality agreement pursuant to which the Company transferred title to certain API was identified as a separate performance obligation. The Company also determined the participation in the JCC is immaterial in the context of the license agreement as the Company has no decision-making ability through its participation in the JCC.

The Company satisfied both performance obligations in the second half of 2024. There wasno revenue recognized in the statement of operations for thesix months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Other Research and Development Arrangements

The Company enters into agreements with clinical research organizations ("CROs") to assist in the performance of research and development activities. Expenditures to CROs represent a significant cost in clinical development for the Company.

9. Segments

The Company currently operates asone operating business segment focused on developing innovative medicines in areas of high unmet need for cancer patients. The Company's determination that it operates as a single segment is consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM for purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, and planning and forecasting for future periods.

The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM assesses performance for the segment based on net loss, which is reported on the statement of operations and comprehensive loss as net loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.

To date, the Company has not recognized any revenue from product sales, and the Company does not expect to generate any revenue in the foreseeable future. Net loss is used to monitor budget versus actual results. Monitoring budgeted versus actual results is used in assessing performance of the segment and to make decisions about the allocation of resources, along with cash forecast models.

The following tables summarizes the significant expense categories regularly reviewed by the CODM for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

10. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company hastwo equity incentive plans: the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, and the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. New awards can only be granted under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and as of June 30, 2025,5,610,857 shares were available for future grants. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued pursuant to rights granted under the Plan shall automatically increase on January 1st of each year and continuing forten years beginning on January 1, 2021, in an amount equal tofive percent of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year, subject to the discretion of the Company's board of directors or compensation committee to determine a lesser number of shares shall be added for such year. On January 1,2025,2,757,455 shares were added to the Plan. The Plan provides for the granting of common stock, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and/or stock appreciation rights to employees, directors, and other persons, as determined by the Company’s board of directors. The Company’s stock options vest based on the terms in each award agreement, generally over four-year periods with 25% of options vesting afterone year and then monthly thereafter, and have a term often years.

The Company measures stock-based awards at their grant-date fair value and records compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense in the following expense categories in its accompanying statements of operations:

Stock Options

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the periods indicated:

At June 30, 2025, the aggregate intrinsic value of both outstanding options and exercisable options was $6 thousand.

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at June 30, 2025 under the Plan:

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted was $0.83 and $3.29 per option for thesix months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $3.7 million and $6.0 millionfor the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to stock options. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $7.4 million and $11.3 million for thesix months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to stock options. As of June 30, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock option awards was $16.0 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.07 years.

The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the weighted average assumptions in the table below:

Restricted Stock Units

The Company granted restricted stock units (“RSU”) to employees that generally vest over afour-year period with 25% of awards vesting after one year and then quarterly thereafter. Any unvested units will be forfeited upon termination of services.

The following table summarizes activity related to RSU stock-based payment awards:

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $65 thousand and $68 thousand for thethree months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to RSUs. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $125 thousand and $137 thousand for thesix months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to RSUs. At June 30, 2025, the total unrecognized expense related to the RSUs was $0.4 million, which the Company expects to recognize over 2.70 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which, as of June 30, 2025, had 2,393,217 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued pursuant to rights granted under the ESPP shall automatically increase on January 1st of each year and continuing forten years beginning in 2021, in an amount equal toone percent of the total number of shares of all classes of the Company’s common stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year, subject to the discretion of the Company's board of directors or compensation committee to determine a lesser number of shares shall be added for such year. On January 1,2025,551,491 shares were added to the ESPP.

Under the ESPP, eligible employees can purchase the Company’s common stock through accumulated payroll deductions at such times as are established by the Company's compensation committee. Eligible employees may purchase the Company’s common stock at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the first day of the offering period or on the last day of the offering period. Eligible employees may contribute up to 15% of their eligible compensation. Under the ESPP, a participant may not accrue rights to purchase more than $25,000 worth of the Company’s common stock for each calendar year in which such right is outstanding.

The ESPP is considered compensatory under the FASB stock compensation rules. Accordingly, share-based compensation expense is determined based on the option’s grant-date fair value as estimated by applying the Black Scholes option-pricing model and is recognized over the withholding period. The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $35 thousand and $60 thousand, respectively, for thethree months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 related to the ESPP. The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $75 thousand and $120 thousand, respectively, for thesix months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 related to the ESPP.

11. Workforce Reduction

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company reduced its current workforce by approximately eleven percent of full-time employees to align its resources with its ongoing clinical and preclinical programs. The one-time costs related to the workforce reduction were $0.5 million.

The following table summarizes the accrued liabilities activity recorded in connection with the reduction in workforce for the six months ended June 30, 2025:
