(expressed in US dollars, except share and per share amounts)
| 1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS |
Business Description
ProMIS Neurosciences Inc. (the “Company” or “ProMIS”) is applying its patented technology platform to build a portfolio of antibody therapies, therapeutic vaccines, and other antibody-based therapies in neurodegenerative diseases and other protein-misfolding diseases, with a focus on Alzheimer’s disease (AD), multiple system atrophy (MSA), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The Company believes these diseases share a common biologic cause — misfolded versions of proteins, that otherwise perform a normal function, become toxic and kill neurons, resulting in disease. ProMIS’ technology platform enables drug discovery through a combination of protein biology, physics and supercomputing. ProMIS believes this platform provides a potential advantage in selectively targeting the toxic misfolded proteins with therapeutics or detecting them with diagnostics.
The Company is developing a pipeline of antibodies aimed at selectively targeting misfolded toxic forms of proteins that drive neurodegenerative diseases without interfering with the essential functions of the same properly folded proteins. The Company's product candidates are PMN310, PMN267, and PMN442. The lead product candidate is PMN310, a monoclonal antibody designed to treat AD by selectively targeting toxic, misfolded oligomers of amyloid-beta. PMN267 is the second lead product candidate targeting ALS. It has been shown in preclinical studies to selectively recognize misfolded, cytoplasmic TDP-43 aggregates without interacting with normal TDP-43. Misfolded TDP-43 is believed to play an important role in the development of ALS. In light of research suggesting that misfolded toxic a-syn is a primary driver of disease in synucleinopathies such as MSA and Parkinson’s disease, the third lead product candidate, PMN442, has shown robust binding to pathogenic a-syn oligomers and seeding fibrils in preclinical studies, with negligible binding to a-syn monomers and physiologic tetramers which are required for normal neuronal function.
The Company was incorporated on January 23, 2004 under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”). On July 13, 2023, the Company continued its existence from a corporation incorporated under the CBCA into the Province of Ontario under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (“OBCA”) (“Continuance”). The Continuance was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 29, 2023. The Company is located at 1920 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario. The Company’s Common Shares are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol PMN. The Company has a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, ProMIS Neurosciences (U.S.) Inc. (“ProMIS USA”), which was incorporated in January 2016 in the State of Delaware. As of March 31, 2026, ProMIS USA has had no material activity and has no material financial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity Risk
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated revenues from its activities. The Company had a net loss of $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an accumulated deficit of $138.7 million as of March 31, 2026, and negative cash flows from operations of $12.4 million. In January 2026, the Company received net proceeds of $70.1 million from the sale of Common Shares, Common Share warrants, and pre-funded warrants to purchase Common Shares to external investors and certain of the Company’s directors and management in a private placement (“January 2026 PIPE”). Refer to additional discussion in Note 6.
Based on the Company’s current operating plan, the Company expects that its existing cash and short-term investments will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through 2027. The Company based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and the Company could exhaust its available capital resources sooner than it expects, including based on its decision to initiate other clinical trials or programs.
Future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the timing and extent of spending on research and development and market acceptance of the Company’s products, if approved for commercial sale. The Company will require
additional funding to conduct future clinical activities. The Company expects to seek additional funding through public and private financings, debt financings, collaboration agreements, strategic alliances and licensing agreements. Although the Company has been successful in raising capital in the past, there is no assurance of success in obtaining such additional financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to enter into collaborations or other arrangements. If the Company is unable to obtain funding or other arrangements, it could force delays, reduce or eliminate research and development programs, and/or reduce product portfolio expansion or commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect future business prospects, and the ability to continue operations.
| 2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are included with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and related amendments filed with the United States Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Furthermore, the Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Since the date of those audited consolidated financial statements, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for financial information. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. 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 as amended by Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The December 31, 2025 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all GAAP disclosures. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the accrual for research and development expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Segment Information
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company hasone operating segment and its Chief Executive Officer serves as the CODM. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are located in Canada. Refer to additional Segment Information in Note 9.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an Emerging Growth Company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“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 condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220- 40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires public entities, among other items, to disclose in a tabular format, on an annual and interim basis, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and depletion for each income statement line item that contains those expenses. ASU 2024-03 becomes effective for the annual period starting on January 1, 2027 and interim periods starting on January 1, 2028. The Company is in the process of analyzing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its disclosures.

Equity Transactions
July 2025 Registered Direct Offering
On July 22, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement relating to the issuance and sale of a pre-funded warrant to purchase 39,389 Common Shares (the “RD Pre-funded Warrant”) to such investor (the “RD Offering”). The RD Pre-funded Warrant was sold at an offering price of$20.31 per share, which represents, if it were applicable, the per share offering price for the Common Shares of the Company, less a$0.0025 per share exercise price for such Pre-funded Warrant. The gross proceeds from the RD Offering were$800,000 before deducting offering expenses of$102,342.
July 22, 2025 Exercise of Discounted Warrants and PIPE
On July 22, 2025, the Company accepted a discounted warrant exercise offer from a healthcare-focused institutional investor for certain July 2024 PIPE warrants (“July 22, 2025 Discounted Exercise”). Related to the July 22, 2025 Discounted Exercise, the Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “July 22, 2025 PIPE”) with the same existing healthcare-focused institutional investor. The Company raised $9,199,765 in aggregate gross proceeds from the July 22, 2025 Discounted Exercise and July 22, 2025 PIPE before deducting $808,738 in transaction costs paid by the Company.
In the July 22, 2025 Discounted Exercise, the Company issued 336,449 Common Shares in exchange for the exercise of 336,449 of the July 2024 PIPE warrants (112,150 each from Tranche A, Tranche B, and Tranche C) for $20.31 per warrant. The Company determined that discounting the exercise price represented a modification of the July 2024 PIPE warrants. In accordance withASC815 – Derivatives and Hedging(“ASC 815”), the Company accounted for the incremental fair value of the modification as the difference between the pre-modification fair value and the post-modification fair value of the July 2024 PIPE warrants, as calculated using Black-Scholes**.**The modification date incremental fair value of $930,841 was initially recorded as a deferred financing cost, as the discount was directly attributable to a proposed offering, and was subsequently recognized as an equity issuance cost upon the closing of the July 22, 2025 Discounted Exercise and July 22, 2025 PIPE. The range of valuation inputs used in the pre-modification fair value Black Scholes calculation of the July 2024 PIPE warrants included a share price of $14.70, exercise prices of $50.50-$62.50, time to maturity of 0.53-4.02 years, risk free rate of 3.9%-4.3%, and annualized volatility of 106.5%. The post-modification fair value Black Scholes calculation used the same fair value inputsas the pre-modification fair value calculation apart from the modified exercise price of $20.31.
Pursuant to the terms of the July 22, 2025 PIPE, the Company agreed to sell a warrant to purchase 504,673 Common Shares (the “July 22, 2025 Warrant”). The July 22, 2025 Warrant was sold to the investor at an offering price of $4.69 per share and has an exercise price of $31.25 per share.
The July 22, 2025 Warrant is immediately exercisable and will expire five years after the date of issuance. The holder of the July 22, 2025 Warrant may not exercise it if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder,9.99%) of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
The Company determined the July 22, 2025 Warrant met the permanent equity criteria classification. The July 22, 2025 Warrant is classified as a component of permanent equity because it is a freestanding financial instrument, is immediately exercisable, does not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, and permits the holders to receive a fixed number of common shares upon exercise. In addition, the July 22, 2025 Warrant does not provide any guarantee of value or return.
July 28, 2025 Exercise of Discounted Warrants and PIPE
On July 28, 2025, the Company accepted discounted warrant exercise offers for certain July 2024 PIPE warrants (“July 28, 2025 Discounted Exercise”). Related to the July 28, 2025 Discounted Exercise, the Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “July 28, 2025 PIPE”) with the same existing investors. The Company raised $11,623,047 in aggregate gross proceeds from the July 28, 2025 Discounted Exercise and July 28, 2025 PIPE before deducting $478,580 in transaction costs paid by the Company.
In the July 28, 2025 Discounted Exercise, the Company issued 416,436 Common Shares in exchange for the exercise of 416,436 of the July 2024 PIPE warrants (138,812 each from Tranche A, Tranche B, and Tranche C) for $20.88 per warrant. The Company determined that discounting the exercise price represented a modification of the July 2024 PIPE warrants. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company accounted for the incremental fair value of the modification as the difference between the pre-modification fair value and the post-modification fair value of the July 2024 PIPE warrants, as calculated using Black-Scholes. The modification date incremental fair value of $1,794,146 was initially recorded as a deferred financing cost, as the discount was directly attributable to a proposed offering, and was subsequently recognized as an equity issuance cost upon the closing of the July 28, 2025 Discounted Exercise and July 28, 2025 PIPE.** **The range of valuation inputs used in the pre-modification fair value Black Scholes calculation of the July 2024 PIPE warrants included a share price of $20.88, exercise prices of $50.50-$62.50, time to maturity of 0.52-4.01 years, risk free rate of 3.9%-4.3%, and annualized volatility of 107.4%. The post-modification fair value Black Scholes calculation used the same fair value inputs as the pre-modification fair value calculation apart from the modified exercise price of $20.88.
Pursuant to the terms of the July 28, 2025 PIPE, the Company agreed to sell warrants to purchase 624,654 Common Shares (the “July 28, 2025 Warrants”). The July 28, 2025 Warrants were sold to the investor at an offering price of $0.1875 per share and has an exercise price of $31.25 per share.
The July 28, 2025 Warrant are immediately exercisable and will expire five years after the date of issuance. Certain holders of the July 28, 2025 Warrants may not exercise it if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder,9.99%) of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
The Company determined the July 28, 2025 Warrants met the permanent equity criteria classification. The July 28, 2025 Warrants are classified as a component of permanent equity because they are a freestanding financial instrument, are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, and permit the holders to receive a fixed number of common shares upon exercise. In addition, the July 28, 2025 Warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return.
November 2025 Reverse Share Split
On November 28, 2025, the Company filed articles of amendment to effect aone-for-twenty-five reverse share split of its Common Shares (the “Reverse Share Split”). As a result of the Reverse Share Split, every 25 Common Shares issued or outstanding were automatically reclassified into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable new Common Share, subject to the treatment of fractional shares as described below, without any action on the part of the holders. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of Common Shares awarded and available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans, as well as the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Company’s outstanding stock options and other equity securities under the Company’s equity incentive plans. All outstanding warrants were also adjusted in accordance with their terms, which resulted, among other changes to the warrant terms, in proportionate adjustments being made to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants and to the exercise prices of such warrants. The Common Shares outstanding following the Reverse Share Split remain fully paid and non-assessable. The Reverse Share Split did not affect the number of authorized Common Shares or the par value of the Common Shares. All share and per-share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Share Split.
January 2026 PIPE
On January 29, 2026, the Company completed a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of$75.5 million, before deducting$5.4 million in fees, to sell an aggregate of (i)6,815,296 Common Shares, (ii) Common Share purchase warrants (“Common Share Warrants”) to purchase 6,915,296 Common Shares, (iii) Pre-Funded Warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”)

The Common Share Warrants have an exercise price of$14.40, are exercisable immediately and will expire upon the earlier of (i) within 60 days of the Milestone Event (as defined below) or (ii) February 3, 2031. The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of$0.0001 per Pre-Funded Warrant, are immediately exercisable and will expire when exercised in full.

2025 Stock Option Plan
At its June 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company’s 2025 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“2025 Option Plan”)was approved by the shareholders.

In October 2024, the Company granted its Chief Executive Officer 19,614 options with an exercise price of $28.75, which will begin vesting if and when the Company’s 10-day VWAP of its Common Shares trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market meets or exceeds $86.25. The Company determined the share price requirement to begin vesting represented a market condition and performed a Monte-Carlo simulation to determine the fair value of the award, discounted for the likelihood of achieving the market condition. The resulting fair value of the option award was $383,000, with $41,647 and $41,657 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
DSU Plan
The Company has a Deferred Share Unit plan (“DSU Plan”) for senior officers. Under the DSU Plan, rights to the Company’s Common Shares may be awarded on a deferred payment basis up to a maximum of 667 common share units. Each common share unit will fully vest upon cessation of employment with the Company and then can be redeemed forone common share of the Company by the unitholder. The Company has 42 units outstanding as of March 31, 2026.

| 9. | 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 hasone reportable segment: life science. The life science segment consists of the development of clinical and preclinical product candidates. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the chief executive officer.
The accounting policies of the life science segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM assesses performance for the life science segment based on net income (loss), which is reported on the income statement as consolidated net income (loss). The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.
To date, the Company has not generated any product revenue. The Company expects to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as it advances product candidates through all stages of development and clinical trials and, ultimately, seek regulatory approval.
As such, the CODM uses cash forecast models in deciding how to invest into the life science segment. Such cash forecast models are reviewed to assess the entity-wide operating results and performance. Net income (loss) is used to monitor budget versus actual results. Monitoring budgeted versus actual results is used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation, along with cash forecast models.
The table below summarizes the significant expense categories regularly reviewed by the CODM for the periods ended March 31, 2026, and 2025:
| | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| 11. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Research, Development and License Agreements
The Company enters into research, development and license agreements with various parties in the ordinary course of business where the Company receives research services and rights to proprietary technologies. The agreements require compensation to be paid by the Company, typically, by a combination of the following:
| ● | fees comprising amounts due initially on entering into the agreements and additional amounts due either on specified timelines or defined services to be provided; |
| ● | milestone payments that are dependent on products developed under the agreements proceeding toward specified plans of clinical trials and commercial development; and |
| ● | royalty payments calculated as a percentage of net sales, commencing on commercial sale of any product candidates developed from the technologies. |
Milestone and royalty related amounts that may come due under various agreements are dependent on, among other factors, preclinical safety and efficacy, clinical trials, regulatory approvals and, ultimately, the successful development and commercial launch of a new drug, the outcomes and timings of which are uncertain. Amounts due per the various agreements for milestone payments will accrue once the occurrence of a milestone is likely. Amounts due as royalty payments will accrue as commercial revenues from the product are earned. Through March 31, 2026, no events have occurred that require accrual of any milestone or royalty related amounts.
UBC and the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority Agreement
In April 2016, the Company entered into athree-year, CRA with the UBC and the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority. The agreement was amended various times through January 2022, extending the agreement through February 2027. Refer to Note 10 Related Party Transactions.
UBC Agreement
In February 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with UBC to further the development and commercialization of certain technology developed, in part, by the Company’s Chief Scientific Officer. The agreement was amended and restated in October 2015. Under the amended and restated agreement, the Company is committed to make royalty payments based on revenue earned from the licensed technology. An annual license fee is payable over the term of the agreement. The agreement remains effective unless terminated under the provisions of the agreement. The Company made annual license payments of C$25,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Through March 31, 2026, no accruals for royalty payments have been made.
Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that may include indemnification provisions. Pursuant to such agreements, the Company may indemnify, hold harmless and defend an indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party. Some of the provisions will limit losses to those arising from third party actions. In some cases, the indemnification will continue after the termination of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these provisions is not determinable. The Company has never incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The Company currently has directors’ and officers’ insurance.
| 12. | NET LOSS PER SHARE |
Basic net earnings per share applicable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net earnings applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common share equivalents. Diluted net earnings per share applicable to common shareholders is calculated by adjusting the weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common share equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury-stock method and the if-converted method. For purposes of the calculation of dilutive net loss per share applicable to common shareholders, stock options, and warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents but are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share applicable to common shareholders, as their effect would be anti-dilutive; therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common shareholders were the same for all periods presented.
As of March 31, 2026 and 2025,174,673 and 23,788 outstanding Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase common shares for little to no consideration were included in the basic and diluted net loss per share calculation, respectively. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders:

| Net loss per share attributable to common shareholders, basic and diluted | | $(1.26) | | $(5.27) | | ||
The following outstanding potentially dilutive Common Shares equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have been antidilutive:
