Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

Note 1 - Organization, Description of Business and Liquidity and Capital Resources

Mustang Bio, Inc. (the “Company” or “Mustang”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 13, 2015. Mustang is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on translating medical breakthroughs into potential cures for difficult-to-treat cancers and autoimmune diseases. The Company may acquire rights to these technologies by licensing the rights or otherwise acquiring an ownership interest in the technologies, funding their research and development and eventually either out-licensing or bringing the technologies to market.

The Company is a majority-controlled subsidiary of Fortress Biotech, Inc. (“Fortress” or “Parent”).

Reverse Stock Split

On January 15, 2025,* the Company filed an amendment (the “Reverse Split Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the 1-for-50 reverse stock split of the Company's shares of common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 50 shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split were combined and converted intoone share of common stock without any change in the par value per share. The Reverse Stock Split became effective on January 15, 2025, and the common stock was quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split basis at the open of business on January 16, 2025. *No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would have otherwise been entitled to a fraction ofone share of common stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split instead receiveda proportional cash payment.

All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $19.0 million. The Company has funded its operations to date primarily with the proceeds from various public and private offerings of its common stock. It has incurred substantial operating losses and expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $398.1 million.

The Company will require substantial additional financing through equity and/or debt offerings, collaborations and licensing arrangements or other sources to fully develop, prepare regulatory filings, obtain regulatory approvals and commercialize its existing product candidates. The continuation of our business as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional capital and eventually attaining and maintaining profitable operations.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Going Concern, the Company evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists under this methodology, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these unaudited financial statements are issued. In performing its evaluation, management excluded certain elements of its operating plan that cannot be considered probable. Under ASC 205-40, the future receipt of potential funding from future equity or debt issuances cannot be considered probable at this time because these plans are not entirely within the Company’s control.

The Company's expectation to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows in the future and the need for additional funding to support its planned operations raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that these unaudited financial statements are issued. The Company made strategic decisions in 2024, including a significant reduction in its workforce and the termination of certain license agreements. In February 2025, the Company

terminated the operating lease of its Plantation Street Facility and sold its remaining equipment to preserve capital and prioritize the allocation of resources for clinical programs. The Company continues to pursue raising additional cash resources primarily through public or private equity financings. The Company has concluded that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of issuance of these unaudited financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited 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 relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 28, 2025 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim period.

Use of Estimates

The Company’s unaudited financial statements include certain amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. The Company’s significant estimates include, but are not limited to, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Due to the uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including tangible assets and other intangible assets with definitive lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC 360-10-15 requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset group is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals.

Segment Reporting

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 in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business inone segment, which reflects the research and development of potential cures for difficult-to-treat cancers and autoimmune diseases. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its chief executive officer.

The CODM assesses performance for the research and development segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss, which is reported on the Unaudited Statements of Operations. The CODM uses net loss to evaluate costs to develop its pipeline. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in this Note 2.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies previously disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

As of September 30, 2025, there were no new accounting pronouncements or updates to recently issued accounting pronouncements disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K that affect the Company’s present or future results of operations, overall financial condition, liquidity, or disclosures upon adoption.

Note 3 - Related Party Agreements

Founders Agreement and Management Services Agreement with Fortress

With respect to the Company’s Management Services Agreement (the “Management Services Agreement”) with Fortress for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, expenses related to the Management Services Agreement are recorded 50% in research and development expenses and 50% in general and administrative expenses in the Unaudited Statements of Operations.

The Company recorded an expense of approximately $0.6 million in research and development – licenses acquired related to these issuable shares during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Payables and Accrued Expenses Related Party

In the normal course of business Fortress pays for certain expenses on behalf of the Company. Such expenses are recorded as expenses of the Company and within payables and accrued expenses - related party.

Note 4 – Asset Purchase Agreements

Agreements with uBriGene

On May 18, 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Original Asset Purchase Agreement”) with uBriGene (Boston) Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“uBriGene”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell its leasehold interest in its cell processing facility located in Worcester, Massachusetts (the “Facility”), and associated assets relating to the manufacturing

and production of cell and gene therapies at the Facility to uBriGene (the “Transaction”). The Company and uBriGene subsequently entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Original Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2023 (“Amendment No. 1”), and Amendment No. 2 to the Original Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2023 (“Amendment No. 2,” and together with the Original Asset Purchase Agreement and Amendment No. 1, the “Prior Asset Purchase Agreement”).

On July 28, 2023, pursuant to the Prior Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the sale of all of its assets that primarily relate to the manufacturing and production of cell and gene therapies at the Facility (such operations, the “Transferred Operations” and such assets, the “Transferred Assets”) to uBriGene for upfront consideration of$6 million cash (the “Base Amount”). The Transferred Assets included all of the Company’s assets, except for the Company’s lease and related leasehold improvements of the Facility and contracts that are primarily used in the Transferred Operations. The Company recorded a gain of$1.4 million in connection with the sale of the Transferred Assets, and recorded approximately$0.3 million of the base consideration as deferred income, that would have been recognized upon the transfer of the lease.

In connection with the Prior Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company and uBriGene submitted a voluntary joint notice to the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”). Following CFIUS’s review and subsequent investigation of the transactions related to the Prior Asset Purchase Agreement, on May 13, 2024, the Company, together with uBriGene and CFIUS, executed a National Security Agreement (the “NSA”), pursuant to which the Company and uBriGene agreed to abandon the transactions related to the Prior Asset Purchase Agreement and the agreements entered into in connection therewith. The NSA obligated uBriGene and the Company to terminate agreements between thetwo parties, including the Manufacturing Services Agreement, Quality Services Agreement, and Subcontracting CDMO Agreement. In addition, uBriGene was required to sell, or otherwise dispose of, the equipment assets purchased within 180 days after the execution of the NSA.

June 2024 Repurchase of Assets

On June 27, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with uBriGene, pursuant to which the Company agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to repurchase the Transferred Assets, primarily lab equipment and supplies (collectively, the “Repurchased Assets”). Pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Agreement, the Company and uBriGene also terminated existing manufacturing and services agreements.

As consideration for the Repurchase Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to uBriGene a total purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of$1.4 million, consisting of (i) an upfront payment of$0.1 million due within five (5) business days of the Effective Date and a (ii) subsequent amount of$1.3 million due on the date that istwelve (12) months after the closing date (the “Deferred Amount”). In the event that as of the original (or any extended) date on which the Deferred Amount is payable, the Company has, as of the date of the public reporting of its then-most recent quarterly audited or unaudited financial statements, net assets below$20 million, then the Company may, upon written notice to uBriGene, elect to delay its payment obligation of the Deferred Amount by an additionalsix (6) months, with no limit on the number of such extensions available to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company has not paid the Deferred Amount in full as of the date that istwelve (12) months after closing of the Repurchase Agreement, any amounts that remain outstanding will accrue interest at a rate of 5% per annum beginning on the date that istwelve (12) months after closing and until the Deferred Amount is paid in full. Additionally, in connection with the termination of the agreements described above under the Repurchase Agreement, the Company agreed to forgive a net receivable from uBriGene of approximately$3.3 million, comprised of outstanding receivables of$6.9 million and payables of$3.6 million, resulting in total purchase consideration in the Repurchase Transactions of approximately$4.7 million. As of September 30, 2025, the$1.3 million Deferred Amount remains recorded in Accrued Other Expenses (see Note 6).

The Company allocated the total purchase consideration of$4.7 million to the Repurchased Assets on a relative fair value basis. The Company used a third-party to perform a valuation of the repurchased equipment, which resulted in a fair value less costs to sell of approximately$2.2 million. The remaining purchase consideration of$2.5 million was allocated to the supplies repurchased. The supplies repurchased with no alternative future use were recognized as research and development expense in an amount of$2.2 million. Repurchased supplies with an alternative future use of$0.3 million were also recognized in research and development expense, as the Company does not have plans to resume operations in the facility, and it intends to dispose of the supplies in a single transaction with the equipment. The Company concluded that the disposal group, which includes the repurchased equipment assets and associated supplies, with an aggregate value of approximately$2.2 million met the criteria to be classified as held for sale at the date of acquisition. As of December 31, 2024, the disposal group had a fair value less costs to sell of approximately$1.2 million. In February 2025, the Company completed the sale of these assets.

Note 5 – Property, Plant and Equipment, Net; Held for Sale; Asset Impairment

Asset Impairment

In June 2024, the Company concluded it had a triggering event requiring assessment of impairment for certain leasehold improvements and the related right-of-use asset. The Company assessed the carrying value of the asset group consisting of the leasehold improvements and right-of-use asset in accordance with ASC 360, given the significant changes to the Company’s operations, operating cash and the repurchase of equipment. The assessment of the recoverability of the asset group concluded that there was impairment on the carrying value of the asset group of approximately$2.6 million, which was allocated on a pro rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of the assets. Approximately$2.2 million of the impairment loss was allocated to the leasehold improvements, with the remaining$0.4 million allocated to the right-of-use asset.

In February 2025, the Company terminated the lease of its Plantation Street Facility. The remaining lease liability of approximately $0.8 million was reversed, and the remaining leasehold improvements of approximately $0.3 million and right of use assets of approximately $0.1 million were written off, resulting in a net gain of $0.4 million recorded in research and development expense in the Unaudited Statements of Operations.

The Incentive Plan was adopted in 2016 by the Company’s stockholders and the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors and is authorized to grant stock-based awards to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The Incentive Plan initially authorized grants to issue up to 2,666 shares of authorized but unissued common stock and had an initial term of 10 years.

Note 8 – Net Loss per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including prefunded warrants and shares held in abeyance, during the period, without consideration of potential dilutive securities. For periods in which the Company generated a net loss, the Company does not include potential shares of common stock in diluted net loss per share when the impact of these items is anti-dilutive. The Company has generated a net loss for all periods presented; therefore, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, since the inclusion of potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive.

The table below summarizes potentially dilutive securities that were not considered in the computation of diluted net loss per share because they would be anti-dilutive.

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​ · ​ · For the nine months ended September 30,
​ · 2025 · 2024
Warrants4,678,646​1,219,116

Unvested restricted stock units96233
Total4,681,3161,222,398
(1)Class A preferred shares are reflected on an as-if converted basis.

The Company considers Class A common stock and Class A preferred stock to be additional classes of common stock for the purpose of calculating net loss per share, as they do not have preferential rights when compared to the Company’s common stock, and therefore losses are allocated to these additional classes using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that treats participating securities as having rights that would otherwise have been available to common stockholders. At September 30, 2025, the Class A common stock and Class A preferred stock have rights to convert to a total of 1,460 common shares.

Note 9 – Income Taxes

The Company incurred net operating losses and recorded a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets for all periods presented. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a provision for federal or state income taxes.

The Company is subject to US federal and state income taxes. Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of Management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

On July 4, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) into law. Key corporate tax provisions include the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, immediate expensing for domestic research and experimental expenditures, changes to interest limitations, and expanded compensation deductibility limits aggregation requirements. As the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets, the legislation does not have a material impact on our financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and it does not expect it to have a material impact on its 2025 effective income tax rate.

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies

Indemnification

In accordance with its Certificate of Incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and indemnification agreements, the Company has indemnification obligations to its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while they are serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The Company has director and officer insurance to address such claims. The Company also provides indemnification of contractual counterparties in certain situations, including without limitation to clinical sites, service providers and licensors.

Leases

On February 7, 2025, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Lease Agreement with WCS – 377 Plantation Street, Inc. (the “Landlord”), pursuant to which the Company’s lease of its Plantation Street Facility was terminated. Following the termination of

the lease, the Company is no longer party to any leases for office space or equipment. Upon termination of the lease, the Company moved its headquarters to 95 Sawyer Road, Suite 110, Waltham, MA, which is office space leased by Fortress. Fortress allocates a small portion of its rent and office related costs to the Company on a monthly basis which is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited statements of operations.

Upon termination of the lease, the Company wrote off the remaining right of use assets, operating lease liabilities, and associated leasehold improvements and recorded a net gain of approximately $0.4 million in research and development expenses in the Unaudited Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2025, the Company hadno operating lease liabilities or right of use assets.
