Reworded paragraphs (18)

Previous wording

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. We generate our pipeline of product candidates from our proprietary suite of antibody technology platforms. We are currently developing therapeutics utilizing multiple modalities, including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and multi-specific antibodies (which we refer to as DART and TRIDENT molecules). The combination of our technology platforms and antibody engineering expertise has allowed us to generate promising product candidates – three of which have received marketing approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – and to enter into several strategic collaborations with global biopharmaceutical companies. These collaborations have provided us with over $1.6 billion of non-dilutive funding since our inception in 2000, and have enabled us to leverage the additional expertise of our collaborators to advance the development of multiple partnered product candidates. In addition, we operate a commercial-scale cGMP antibody manufacturing facility in our Maryland headquarters. We have utilized the facility to support our clinical programs and we also provide outsourced contract development and manufacturing services to our collaborators and other third parties for commercial and clinical products to offset a significant portion of the operating costs of this facility. See Note 12, Subsequent Events, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the sale of the assets and liabilities related to our manufacturing operations.

Effective June 30, 2026, we completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities related to our GMP manufacturing operations, including our CDMO business (the CDMO Operations) conducted at our manufacturing facility and related warehouse operations located in Frederick, Maryland to Bora Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. and Bora Biologics USA, LLC (collectively, Bora). The transaction was conducted pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 11, 2026 (the Bora Agreement). Under the terms of the Bora Agreement, Bora paid us $119.6 million in July 2026, which represented the purchase price of $122.5 million net of customary adjustments, including for working capital and indebtedness, and Bora assumed responsibility for the CDMO Operations.

Previous wording

We currently have three proprietary product candidates in clinical development: lorigerlimab, a bispecific DART molecule that targets checkpoint inhibitors PD-1 and CTLA-4; MGC026, an ADC that targets B7-H3 and delivers a novel topoisomerase I inhibitor (TOP1i)-based linker-payload, and MGC028, an ADC that targets ADAM9 and delivers a novel TOP1i-based linker-payload. We are also actively developing preclinical-stage ADC and next generation T-cell engager programs.

Current wording

We currently have multiple proprietary product candidates. These include three clinical-stage ADCs incorporating a novel topoisomerase I inhibitor (TOP1i)-based linker-payload: MGC026, which targets B7-H3; MGC028, which targets ADAM9; and MGC030, which is directed against an undisclosed target. We are also developing lorigerlimab, a clinical-stage bispecific DART molecule targeting the immune checkpoint receptors PD-1 and CTLA-4. In addition, we are developing multiple preclinical-stage ADC and next-generation T-cell engager programs.

Previous wording

Our operations to date have concentrated on developing our technology platforms, identifying potential product candidates, undertaking preclinical studies, conducting clinical trials, developing collaborations, operating manufacturing facilities, business planning and raising capital. We began generating revenues from the sale of products in 2021. We have financed our operations primarily through the public and private offerings of our securities, and collaborations with other biopharmaceutical companies. Although it is difficult to predict our funding requirements, we anticipate that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31, 2026, combined with the $60.0 million received from Sagard in May 2026, and the anticipated $122.5 million proceeds (before transaction fees and expenses and subject to customary adjustments), expected upon closing, from the sale of our manufacturing operations to Bora Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. and Bora Biologics USA, LLC (collectively, Bora), as well as projected and anticipated future payments from our partners and anticipated savings from our ongoing cost-reduction initiatives, supports our cash runway through 2028. We have implemented, and will continue to evaluate and execute, various cost-saving measures that are intended to extend our financial runway while continuing to progress our pipeline.

As a biotechnology company, we have primarily funded our operations with proceeds from the sale of our common stock in equity offerings and revenue from our multiple collaboration agreements. Management regularly reviews our available liquidity relative to our operating budget and forecast to monitor the sufficiency of our working capital, and anticipates continuing to draw upon available sources of capital, including equity and debt instruments, to support our product development activities. There can be no assurances that new sources of capital will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Also, any future collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements may require us to give up some or all rights to a product or technology at less than its full potential value. If we are unable to enter into new arrangements or to perform under current or future agreements or obtain additional capital, we will assess our capital resources and may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our product research and development programs or clinical studies, and/or downsize our organization. Although it is difficult to predict our funding requirements, we anticipate that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31, 2026, combined with the $60.0 million received from Sagard in May 2026, and the anticipated $122.5 million proceeds (before transaction fees and expenses and subject to customary adjustments), expected upon closing, from the sale of our manufacturing operations to Bora, as well as projected and anticipated future payments from our partners, and anticipated savings from our ongoing cost-reduction initiatives, supports our cash runway through 2028.
