Current report

On September 30, 2026, we announced that Pierre Fabre, with our support, had resubmitted the tab-cel BLA. The resubmission included additional ALLELE patients and longer follow-up from the ongoing Phase 3 single arm ALLELE study of tab-cel, together with supplemental data from expanded access programs, a separate clinical study, and European commercial experience. On October 14, 2026, we announced that the FDA had accepted the resubmission for a Class 2 review and assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act target action date of March 31, 2027. We continue to support Pierre Fabre during the review process.

Current report

Interest income (expense) on sale of future revenues was approximately $0.7 million and ($0.3) million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to ($0.9) million and ($2.9) million in the comparative 2025 periods. During the third quarter of 2026, we had a change in estimate of remaining future payments to be received by HCRx such that we no longer estimated the achievement of a certain sales threshold within the royalty term, resulting in the prospective recognition of non-cash interest income.

Current report

We intend to file a new shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (2026 Registration Statement) to replace the 2023 Registration Statement following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and before the 2023 Registration Statement expires on November 13, 2026. Upon the filing of the 2026 Registration Statement, in accordance with Rules 415(a)(5) and 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act, we may continue to offer and sell shares of our common stock under the 2023 ATM Facility pursuant to the 2023 Registration Statement, including the full amount remaining available under the related prospectus, until the earlier of the effective date of the 2026 Registration Statement and May 12, 2027. If we do not file the 2026 Registration Statement before November 13, 2026, we will not be able to make sales under the 2023 ATM Facility until a new registration statement is declared effective. If our public float remains below $75 million, the 2026 Registration Statement will be filed in reliance on General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 and sales of our common stock under the 2026 Registration Statement, including at-the-market sales, will be limited to one-third of our public float, measured as of a date within 60 days prior to each sale, in any 12-month period, unless and until our public float equals or exceeds $75 million.

Current report

We intend to continue to offer and sell shares of our common stock under the 2023 ATM Facility after the 2026 Registration Statement is declared effective. We intend for the 2026 Registration Statement to include a prospectus covering the offer and sale under the 2023 ATM Facility of shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $200 million of the amount remaining available under the sales agreement, which amount reflects the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. Once the 2026 Registration Statement is declared effective, we will make no further sales under the 2023 Registration Statement. Other than as described above, the sales agreement for the 2023 ATM Facility remains in full force and effect. If our public float increases such that we may sell additional amounts under the 2023 ATM Facility, we may file a prospectus supplement to register additional shares.

In October 2021, we entered into the Commercialization Agreement with Pierre Fabre (Pierre Fabre Commercialization Agreement), pursuant to which we granted to Pierre Fabre an exclusive, field-limited license to commercialize and distribute Ebvallo in Europe and select emerging markets in the Initial Territory following regulatory approval. As contemplated by the Pierre Fabre Commercialization Agreement, we entered into (i) a Manufacturing and Supply Agreement (ii) a Pharmacovigilance Agreement (iii) and a Quality Agreement, in each case, with Pierre Fabre to further advance our partnership with Pierre Fabre. In September 2022, we amended the Pierre Fabre Commercialization Agreement and received an additional $30 million milestone payment from Pierre Fabre following EC approval of Ebvallo for EBV+ PTLD and subsequent filing of the MAA transfer to Pierre Fabre, in exchange for, among other things, a reduction in: (i) royalties we are eligible to receive as a percentage of net sales of Ebvallo in the Initial Territory, and (ii) the supply price mark up on tab-cel purchased by Pierre Fabre. Additionally, we agreed to extend the time period for provision of certain services to Pierre Fabre under the Pierre Fabre Commercialization Agreement. In December 2022, we entered into the HCRx Agreement with HCR Molag Fund L.P. (HCRx,) a Delaware limited partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the HCRx Agreement, we received a total investment amount of $31 million in exchange for HCRx being entitled to receive a portion of the tiered, sales-based royalties for Ebvallo, in amounts ranging from the mid-single digits to significant double digits, as well as certain milestone payments, both related to the Initial Territory and otherwise payable to us by Pierre Fabre. The total royalties and milestones payable to HCRx related to the Initial Territory under the HCRx Agreement are capped between 185% and 250% of the total investment amount by HCRx, dependent upon the timing of such royalty and milestone payments to HCRx.

On October 31, 2023, we entered into an amended and restated Pierre Fabre Commercialization Agreement (A&R Commercialization Agreement), pursuant to which we expanded Pierre Fabre’s exclusive rights to research, develop, manufacture, commercialize and distribute tab-cel (Ebvallo) to include all other countries in the world (Additional Territory) in addition to the Initial Territory (together, the Territory), subject to our performance of certain obligations as described below. In December 2023, upon the effective date of the A&R Commercialization Agreement, we met the contractual right to receive an additional upfront cash payment of $20.0 million for the expanded exclusive license grant, for which the cash was received in January 2024. In March 2024, we met the contractual right to receive $20.0 million in milestone payments upon achieving a regulatory milestone, for which the cash was received in April 2024. In July 2024, we met the contractual right to receive an additional $20.0 million in milestone payments upon achieving acceptance of our biologics license application (BLA) for tab-cel by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and we received the cash in August 2024. In March 2025, we completed the transfer of all manufacturing responsibility to Pierre Fabre under the A&R Commercialization Agreement Amendment. Pierre Fabre is now responsible for manufacturing and supplying tabelecleucel for development and commercialization worldwide at its cost. Pursuant to the A&R Commercialization Agreement Amendment, Pierre Fabre has also agreed to assume the costs related to remediation of the third party manufacturing facility to address the FDA's requests to support resubmission of the BLA for tab-cel. In exchange for accelerating the transfer of all manufacturing responsibility and assumption of such remediation costs by Pierre Fabre, among other things, we agreed to reduce the amount of certain potential future regulatory and commercial milestone payments under the A&R Commercialization Agreement. In July 2025, we further amended the A&R Commercialization Agreement and completed the transfer of all clinical (including sponsorship of the ALLELE and tab-cel multi-cohort studies) and development responsibility to Pierre Fabre. Pierre Fabre is, at its cost, responsible for all clinical (including sponsorship of the ALLELE and tab-cel multi-cohort studies) and development activities (other than responsibility for regulatory activities) for tabelecleucel worldwide. In October 2025, we further amended the A&R Commercialization Agreement to transfer all regulatory activities (including sponsorship of the tab-cel BLA) to Pierre Fabre.

In January 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Complete Response Letter (Response Letter) for the Biologics License Application (BLA) for tab-cel as monotherapy treatment for adult and pediatric patients two years of age and older with Epstein-Barr virus positive post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (EBV+ PTLD), who have received at least one prior therapy including an anti-CD20 containing regimen. The Response Letter only cited findings that arose during a pre-license inspection of a third party manufacturing facility for tab-cel. The Response Letter did not identify any deficiencies related to the manufacturing process, the clinical efficacy, or clinical safety data in the BLA, and the FDA did not request any new clinical trials to support a potential approval of tab-cel. Additionally, in January 2025, the FDA placed a clinical hold on Atara’s active Investigational New Drug (IND) applications. These INDs include the tab-cel program as monotherapy treatment for adult and pediatric patients two years of age and older with Epstein-Barr virus positive post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (EBV+ PTLD). The clinical hold is directly linked to inadequately addressed Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) compliance issues referenced in the Response Letter. In May 2025, the FDA notified us that we have satisfactorily addressed all clinical hold issues and the FDA has lifted the clinical holds. In May 2025, we aligned with the FDA on a plan to address the issues raised by the FDA in the Response Letter and the path forward for resubmission of the tab-cel BLA at a Type A meeting. In July 2025, we resubmitted, and the FDA accepted, the tab-cel BLA. In January 2026, the FDA issued a second Complete Response Letter (Second Complete Response Letter) for the BLA for tab-cel as monotherapy treatment for adult and pediatric patients two years of age and older with EBV+ PTLD, who have received at least one prior therapy including an anti-CD20 containing regimen. In the Second Complete Response Letter, the FDA confirmed that the GMP compliance issues identified in the Response Letter had been satisfactorily resolved, and importantly, no safety issues were raised. However, the Second Complete Response Letter claims that the ALLELE trial, previously confirmed by the FDA as adequate to support the BLA filing, is no longer considered to be an adequate and well-controlled study due to deficiencies in study design, conduct and analysis, to provide substantial evidence of effectiveness of tab-cel to treat relapsed or refractory EBV+ PTLD. In March 2026, our partner, Pierre Fabre, submitted a request for, and the FDA has granted, a Type A meeting to address the FDA's concerns in the Second Complete Response Letter. In April 2026, Pierre Fabre, with our support, had a productive meeting with the FDA and discussed with the FDA a potential path forward to resubmitting the tab-cel BLA.

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025

Current wording

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025

Previous wording

Commercialization revenues were $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to $17.6 million and $115.7 million in the comparative 2025 period. The revenue in the prior-year period reflects the transfer of tab‑cel manufacturing responsibilities to Pierre Fabre on March 31, 2025, which resulted in a one‑time acceleration of revenue recognized upon satisfaction of substantially all commercialization and transition‑related performance obligations. In the current period, commercialization revenues relate solely to ongoing regulatory activities and clinical vial sales, resulting in significantly lower revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Current wording

Commercialization revenues were $1.2 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to $3.5 million and $119.2 million in the comparative 2025 periods. The revenue in the prior-year period reflects the transfer of tab-cel manufacturing responsibilities to Pierre Fabre on March 31, 2025, which resulted in a one-time acceleration of revenue recognized upon satisfaction of substantially all commercialization and transition-related performance obligations. In the current period, commercialization revenues relate solely to ongoing regulatory activities and clinical vial sales, resulting in significantly lower revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Previous wording

Cost of commercialization revenue was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $0.6 million and $21.0 million in the comparative 2025 periods. The decrease in the 2026 period is primarily due to the recognition of deferred cost of commercialization revenue in the prior-year period upon the transfer of manufacturing responsibilities to Pierre Fabre on March 31, 2025.

We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations in each year since inception and have generated limited commercialization revenues from the A&R Commercialization Agreement, following the December 2022 EU regulatory approval of Ebvallo, which is subject to the terms of the HCRx Agreement. We do not maintain any meaningful milestone or royalty payments from Pierre Fabre relative to the Initial Territory until the applicable royalty cap under the HCRx Agreement is met, if at all. We continue to incur significant research and development and other expenses related to our ongoing operations and expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. As a result, we will need additional capital to fund our operations, which we may raise through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, other third party funding and other collaborations, strategic alliances and partnering arrangements. We may borrow funds on terms that may include restrictive covenants, including covenants that restrict the operation of our business, liens on assets, high effective interest rates and repayment provisions that reduce cash resources and limit future access to capital markets. In addition, we expect to continue to opportunistically seek access to additional funds through additional public or private equity offerings or debt financings including by utilizing the 2023 ATM Facility, through potential collaboration, partnering or other strategic arrangements, or a combination of the foregoing. To the extent that we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. To the extent that we raise additional funds through collaboration or partnering arrangements, we may be required to relinquish some of our rights to our technologies or rights to market and sell our products in certain geographies or grant licenses or other rights on terms that are not favorable to us.

As of the date of the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, our public float was less than $75 million. As a result, we are subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 to Form S-3 until such time as our public float exceeds $75 million, which means we only have the capacity to sell shares up to one-third of our public float under shelf registration statements in any twelve-month period. We will remain constrained by the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 to Form S-3 until such time as our public float exceeds $75 million, at which time the number of securities we may sell under a Form S-3 registration statement will no longer be limited by limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 to Form S-3. Consistent with a recent SEC Corporation Finance Interpretation, the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 do not apply to the 2023 ATM Facility under our existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3. Further, our existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 expires on November 11, 2026. If our public float remains below $75 million, any new or replacement registration statement on Form S-3 that we file will be subject to General Instruction I.B.6, which would limit the aggregate amount we may sell in primary offerings under that registration, including pursuant to the 2023 ATM Facility, in any 12-month period to one-third of our public float.

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

In January 2026, the FDA issued a second Complete Response Letter (Second Complete Response Letter) for the BLA for tab-cel as monotherapy treatment for adult and pediatric patients two years of age and older with EBV+ PTLD, who have received at least one prior therapy including an anti-CD20 containing regimen. In the Second Complete Response Letter, the FDA confirmed that the GMP compliance issues identified in the Response Letter had been satisfactorily resolved, and importantly, no safety issues were raised. However, the Second Complete Response Letter claims that the ALLELE trial, previously confirmed by the FDA as adequate to support the BLA filing, is no longer considered to be an adequate and well-controlled study due to deficiencies in study design, conduct and analysis, to provide substantial evidence of effectiveness of tab-cel to treat relapsed or refractory EBV+ PTLD.

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

In March 2026, our partner, Pierre Fabre, submitted a request for, and the FDA granted, a Type A meeting to address the FDA's concerns raised in the Second Complete Response Letter.
