NOTES TOCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Organization and Operations

The Company

Plus Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development, manufacture and commercialization of complex and innovative treatments for patients battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases. CNSide Diagnostics, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Plus Therapeutics, Inc. that develops and commercializes proprietary laboratory-developed tests, such as the CNSide Test, designed to identify tumor cells that have metastasized to the central nervous system in patients with carcinomas and melanomas.

Certain Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s prospects are subject to the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of development and commercialization, especially those companies in rapidly evolving and technologically advanced industries such as the biotech and medical device field. The Company’s future viability largely depends on its ability to complete development of new products and receive regulatory approvals for those products. No assurance can be given that the Company’s new products will be successfully developed, regulatory approvals will be granted, or acceptance of these products will be achieved.

Going Concern

The Company incurred net losses of$22.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, and as of December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of$515.9 million and cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments of$13.1 million. The Company includes restricted cash and cash equivalents in its liquidity assessment because the restrictions are expected to be released within one year after the date that the financial statements in this Form 10-K are issued, at which time the funds will be available to support working capital requirements. Additionally, the Company used net cash of$20.8 million to fund its operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company expects that its research and development expenditures will increase in absolute dollars in 2026 and beyond. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As disclosed in more detail in Note 15, the Company has entered into various financing agreements and raised capital by issuing its common stock. Additionally, in January 2026, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement in which it raised net proceeds of approximately $13.3 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

The Company continues to seek additional capital from other financing alternatives and other sources in order to ensure adequate funding is available to allow the Company to continue research and product development activities. If sufficient capital is not raised, the Company will at a minimum need to significantly reduce or curtail its research and development and other operations, and this would negatively affect its ability to achieve corporate growth goals.

Should the Company fail to raise additional cash, it would have a material adverse impact on its operations.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to its ability to continue as a going concern.

Nasdaq Listing Compliance

In March 2024, the Company received notice from the Listing Qualifications staff of Nasdaq (the “Staff”), notifying it that it no longer maintained at least $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity, as required under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”), and also did not meet any other alternative standard. On October 22, 2024, the Company held its first hearing before a Nasdaq panel, as a result of which it received additional time, or until March 4, 2025, to regain compliance. A second hearing was held on July 15, 2025. On July 22, 2025, the panel for its second hearing issued a decision granting its request for continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to the Company demonstrating compliance with (1) the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement by August 14, 2025; and (2) the Minimum Bid Requirement (as defined below) by September 8, 2025. On August 22, 2025, the Company received a letter (the “August 2025 Letter”) from Nasdaq confirming its compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b). Specifically, the August 2025 Letter confirmed that the Company was in compliance with both (1) Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), which requires a market value of listed securities of at least $35 millionand (2) the alternative stockholders’ equity threshold under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which is the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. The August 2025 Letter also provided that, solely with respect to the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, it remain subject to a one-year panel monitoring period, through August 22, 2026. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Staff determines that the Company no longer satisfies the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement (and it is not then in compliance with one of the alternative standards under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)), it will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance and the Staff is not permitted to grant additional time to regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement nor will it be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period. Instead, the Staff will issue a delist determination letter, and it will have an opportunity to request a new hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which request would stay any further action by the Staff pending the ultimate outcome of the hearing.

On May 16, 2025, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that, because the closing bid price for its common stock had fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, it no longer complied with the minimum bid price requirement pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”). The Company was provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until November 12, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of its common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to November 12, 2025.

On November 13, 2025, the Company received a second letter from the Nasdaq Staff advising that it had been granted an additional 180 calendar days, or until May 11, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

The Company intends to continue to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and will evaluate available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. Specifically, it has confirmed to Nasdaq that, if necessary, it will implement a reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock to attempt to regain compliance. If the Company does not regain compliance within the additional compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that its common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement during the 180-day additional compliance period or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates and critical accounting policies involve reviewing assets for impairment, and determining the assumptions used in measuring share-based compensation expense and the fair value of warrants.

Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management’s estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the periods they are determined to be necessary.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in readily available checking, savings accounts, money market accounts, and certain treasury bills. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant risk on its cash balances due to the financial position of the depository institution in which those deposits are held.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents relates to the liability owed under the modified Letter Agreement (as described in Note 15, Stockholders’ Equity) pursuant to which the Company is required to retain sufficient funds in an interest bearing account to cover such repayment obligations and make such repayments upon request by any investor who executed the amendment agreement. The restriction will lapse when the related liability is satisfied either from the Company or from reselling securities acquired in the March 2025 Private Placement in an amount equal to 115% of the purchase price such purchaser paid in the March 2025 Private Placement. The Company includes restricted cash and cash equivalents in current assets because the restrictions are expected to be released within one year.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the components of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported in the consolidated balance sheets to the total amount presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows:

As of December 31,
20252024
Cash and cash equivalents$4,256$76
Restricted cash and cash equivalents4,502—
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows$8,758$76

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include cash equivalents, other current assets, and accounts payable. The carrying values of cash equivalents, other current assets, and accounts payable generally approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense, which includes the amortization of capitalized leasehold improvements, is provided for on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter, and range from three tofive years. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is included in operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Impairment

The Company assesses its property and equipment and intangible assets for potential impairment when there is a change in circumstances that indicates carrying values of assets may not be recoverable. Such long-lived assets are deemed to be impaired when the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (or asset group) are less than the asset’s carrying amount. Any required impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value and would be recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to operating expense. The Company recognizedno impairment losses during any of the periods presented in these financial statements.

Goodwill

The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired from its business combinations. The determination of the value of goodwill arising from business combinations requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs indicating the potential for impairment. Goodwill is considered to be impaired if the Company determines that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The Company performed its impairment test by comparing it’s estimated fair value, calculated from the Company’s market capitalization, to its carrying amount. There wereno changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Grant Revenue Recognition

In applying the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company has determined that government grants are out of the scope of ASC 606 because the funding entities do not meet the definition of a “customer,” as defined by ASC 606, as there is not considered to be a transfer of control of goods or services. With respect to the grant, the Company determines if it is a collaboration arrangement in accordance with ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”). For grants outside the scope of ASC 808, the Company applies International Accounting Standards No. 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, by analogy, and revenue is recognized when the Company incurs expenses related to the grant for the amount the Company is entitled to under the provisions of the contract.

The Company also considers the guidance in ASC Topic 730, Research and Development (“ASC 730”), which requires an assessment, at the inception of the grant, of whether the agreement is a liability. If the Company is obligated to repay funds received regardless of the outcome of the related research and development activities, then the Company is required to estimate and recognize that liability. Alternatively, if the Company is not required to repay the funds, then payments received are recorded as revenue or contra-expense as the expenses are incurred.

Deferred grant liability represents grant funds received or receivable for which the allowable expenses have not yet been incurred as of the balance sheet date. Grant receivable represents grant funds not yet received for which the allowable expenses have been incurred as of the balance sheet date.

Research and Development

Research and development expenditures, which are charged to operations in the period incurred, include costs associated with the design, development, testing and enhancement of the Company’s products, regulatory fees, the purchase of laboratory supplies, and preclinical and clinical studies as well as salaries and benefits for the Company's research and development employees.

Warrants

Warrants are accounted for as either derivative liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the agreement in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC Topic 815 -Derivatives and Hedging. Equity-classified instruments are recorded in additional paid-in capital at issuance and are not subject to remeasurement. Liability-classified warrants are recorded at fair value at each reporting period with any change in fair value recognized as a component of change in fair value of warrants in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company periodically evaluates changes in facts and circumstances that could impact the classification of warrants.

Available-for-Sale Securities

The Company’s available-for-sale securities consist of U.S. government and agency securities. Securities with maturities from the date of purchase of less than three months are included in cash equivalents. The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale and records such assets at estimated fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, with unrealized gains and losses, if any, reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income/loss and as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification method and recorded as interest income (loss). At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost is a result of credit losses or other factors, whether the Company expects to recover the amortized cost of the security, the Company’s intent to sell and if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before the recovery of amortized cost. The Company records changes in allowance for expected credit loss in other income (expense). There has been no allowance for expected credit losses recorded during any of the periods presented.

Any premium arising at purchase is amortized to the earliest call date and any discount arising at purchase is accreted to maturity. Accretion of discounts are recorded in interest income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income/loss.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. 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 carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income (loss) in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Due to our history of losses, a full valuation allowance has been recognized against our deferred tax assets.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company hasnot recorded any interest or penalties related to income tax matters.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes the fair value of all share-based payment awards in its statements of operations over the requisite vesting period of each award, which approximates the period during which the employee and non-employee director is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The Company estimates the fair value of these options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using assumptions for expected volatility, expected term, and risk-free interest rate. Expected volatility is based primarily on historical volatility and is computed using daily pricing observations for recent periods that correspond to the expected term of the options. The expected term represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. Because the Company does not have historical exercise behavior, it determines the expected life assumption using the simplified method which is an average of the contractual term of the option and its vesting period. The risk-free interest rate is the interest rate for treasury instruments with maturities that approximate the expected term.

Segment Information

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company is managed as a single operating segment, and therefore reports its results inone operating segment.

Loss Per Share

Basic per share data is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per share data is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include, if dilutive, the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding as calculated using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares were related entirely to outstanding but unexercised options, restricted stock units, warrants and convertible preferred stocks for all periods presented.

Concentration Risk

Although the Company’s contracts with its vendors are not exclusive, the Company currently uses sole source providers for core materials used in its clinical trials.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure. This ASU includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The Company adopted this ASU prospectively as of January 1, 2025, and the impact is included in the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires an entity to disclose on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information about specific income statement expense categories. The guidance should be applied prospectively with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The standard 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.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are market-based measurements, not entity-specific measurements. Therefore, fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company follows a three-level hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in active markets.

The Company has investments in money market accounts, which are included in cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheets. Certain treasury bills are also considered cash equivalents if their maturities are three months or less at the time of purchase. Fair value inputs for these investments are considered Level 1 measurements within the fair value hierarchy since money market account and treasury bill fair values are known and observable through daily published floating net asset values. The Company obtains the fair value of its Level 2 financial instruments from third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models whereby all significant inputs are observable. The Company validates the prices provided by the third-party pricing services by reviewing their pricing methods and matrices and obtaining market values from other pricing sources. The Company did not adjust or override any fair value measurements as of December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The Company does not have any investments classified as Level 3 and no investment transferred between classification levels during the year ended December 31, 2025.

The following table summarizes the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively (in thousands).

Investor Liability Pursuant to Letter Agreement and Support Letters

The repayment obligation owed to certain March 2025 Private Placement Purchasers pursuant to the amended Letter Agreement and Support Letters is accounted for at fair value as a financial liability in accordance with ASC 480. The Company measures the fair value of the repayment obligation using Level 3 inputs. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a liability ofapproximately $4.5 million on its consolidated balance sheet related to this repayment obligation. Refer to Note 15 Stockholders’ Equity for further details.

Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities

The Company applies fair value techniques on a non-recurring basis, if and when necessary, associated with: (1) valuing potential impairment losses related to goodwill and intangible assets which are accounted for pursuant to the authoritative guidance for intangibles—goodwill and other; and (2) valuing potential impairment losses related to long-lived assets which are accounted for pursuant to the authoritative guidance for property, plant and equipment. There wasno impairment related to long lived assets, intangible assets, or goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024.

  1. Short-Term Investments

The Company classified short-term investments as available-for-sale securities, as the sale of such investments may be required prior to maturity to facilitate the execution of management strategies. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the unrealized gain on the Company's available-for-sale securities was immaterial, and not presented separately in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company classified all investments with maturities longer than three months from the date of purchase as short-term investments in the consolidated balance sheets, reflecting its intent and ability to use these assets to meet the liquidity requirements of current operations. The following table summarizes contractual maturities of available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2025 (in thousands):

  1. Loss per Share

Basic per share data is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per share data is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include, if dilutive, the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding as calculated using the treasury stock or if-converted method, as applicable. The Pre-Funded Warrants were included in the weighted average shares outstanding calculation (as of the beginning of the period or the date of the grant, whichever was earlier) for basic and dilutive earnings per share given their nominal exercise price.

The March 2025 Series A Warrants and March 2025 Series B Warrants (and for the period in which the February 2025 Warrants, Funding Notes, and Exchange Notes, were outstanding) were participating securities because holders of such instruments would participate in the event a dividend is paid on common stock, however such holders did not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company’s losses. As such, losses were attributed entirely to common stockholders.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the periods indicated, in thousands except share and per share data:

The following table provides a summary of instruments where underlying shares issuable upon exercise or conversion were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation for the periods presented because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Additionally, the shares underlying the February 2025 Warrants, Funding Notes and Exchange Notes, each outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2025, were excluded from diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

At the inception of a contractual arrangement, the Company determines whether the contract contains a lease by assessing whether there is an identified asset and whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset in exchange for consideration over a period of time. If both criteria are met, the Company calculates the associated lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset upon lease commencement using a discount rate based on the rate implicit in the lease or an incremental borrowing rate commensurate with the term of the lease. Lease renewable options are included in the estimation of the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.

The Company records lease liabilities within current liabilities or long-term liabilities based upon the length of time associated with the lease payments. The Company records its operating lease right-of-use assets as long-term assets. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheets. Instead, the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the statements of operations.

The Company’s existing operating lease agreements generally provide for periodic rent increases, and renewal and termination options. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material variable lease payments, residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Certain leases require the Company to pay taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Payments for the transfer of goods or services such as common area maintenance and utilities represent non-lease components. The Company elected the package of practical expedients and therefore does not separate non-lease components from lease components.

On October 16, 2025, the Company entered into a lease (the “Houston Lease”) with LG 1 Property Owner LP, pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease approximately 11,370 rentable square feet of space located at 6420 Levit Green Boulevard, Houston, Texas 77021. The Houston Lease is expected to commence on or about November 1, 2026. The Houston Lease provides for a monthly base rent of $58,745, which increases annually by approximately 3%, plus the Company’s share of the building’s direct expenses. The Houston Lease has an initial term of 120 calendar months. While the premises under the Houston Lease is constructed and designed to fit the Company's business needs and intended purpose, the Company leased temporary space of approximately 11,370 rentable square feet (separate from the premises under the Houston Lease) for a monthly base rent of $58,745. The Company expects to be in the temporary space until leasehold improvements are completed. The Company recognizes lease expense for the short-term temporary space on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. The deferred rent balance of $159,000 representing the difference between the cash payments made and the straight-line lease expense is recorded to "Other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s future minimum annual lease payments under the Houston Lease, including the temporary space, at December 31, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):

Houston Lease

The Company leases certain office space in Charlottesville, Virginia (the “Charlottesville Lease”). The Charlottesville Lease expires on March 31, 2027.

The Company’s operating lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets are included in the balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025, the weighted average discount rate used to measure operating lease liabilities and the operating leases remaining term were 12.7% and 1.25 years, respectively.

Manufacturing Agreement with SpectronRX

On November 5, 2024, the Company entered into a manufacturing services agreement with SpectronRx for drug product development and manufacturing, which includes an initial commitment fee of $0.3 million. Under this agreement, the Company will own all rights to intellectual property related to the products developed, while SpectronRx retains rights to its own technology. SpectronRx is required to negotiate a commercial supply agreement upon six months' written notice before the Company's first commercial manufacturing needs. The agreement will remain in place for five years, automatically renewing for successive one-year terms unless terminated with six months' notice. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not recognize any expenses related to this agreement.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has entered into agreements with various research organizations for preclinical and clinical development studies, which have provisions for cancellation. Under the terms of these agreements, the vendors provide a variety of services including conducting research, recruiting and enrolling patients, monitoring studies and data analysis. Payments under these agreements typically include fees for services and reimbursement of expenses. The timing of payments due under these agreements is estimated based on current study progress. As of December 31, 2025, the Company didnot have any clinical research study obligations.

The Company has entered into service and subscription-based agreements, which are recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses, with an offsetting amount included in deferred costs within other current assets (see Note 6).

The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to legal proceedings. Due to their nature, such legal proceedings involve inherent uncertainties including, but not limited to, court rulings, negotiations between affected parties and governmental actions. Management assesses the probability of loss for such contingencies and accrues a liability and/or discloses the relevant circumstances, as appropriate.

  1. License Agreements

UT Health Science Center at San Antonio (“UTHSCSA”) License Agreement

On December 31, 2021, the Company entered into a Patent and Know-How License Agreement (the “UTHSCSA License Agreement”) with UTHSCSA, pursuant to which UTHSCSA granted the Company an irrevocable, perpetual, exclusive, fully paid-up license, with the right to sublicense and to make, develop, commercialize and otherwise exploit certain patents, know-how and technology related to the development of biodegradable alginate microspheres containing nanoliposomes loaded with imaging and/or therapeutic payloads.

NanoTx License Agreement

On March 29, 2020, the Company and NanoTx, Corp. (“NanoTx”) entered into a Patent and Know-How License Agreement (the “NanoTx License Agreement”), pursuant to which NanoTx granted the Company an irrevocable, perpetual, exclusive, fully paid-up license, with the right to sublicense and to make, develop, commercialize and otherwise exploit certain patents, know-how and technology related to the development of radiolabeled nanoliposomes.

The transaction terms included an upfront payment of $0.4 million in cash and $0.3 million in the Company's voting stock. The transaction terms also included success-based milestone and royalty payments contingent on key clinical, regulatory and sales milestones, as well as the requirement to pay 15%of any non-dilutive monetary awards or grants received from external agencies to support product development of the nanoliposome encapsulated BMEDA-chelated radioisotope, which includes grants fromthe Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas ("CPRIT"). As of December 31, 2025, there wereno accrued payments due to NanoTx as a result of the CPRIT grant received (Note 11).

  1. Term Loan Obligations

On May 29, 2015, the Company entered into the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”), pursuant to which Oxford Finance, LLC (“Oxford”) funded an aggregate principal amount of $17.7 million (the “Term Loan”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement.

Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, the Company made interest only payments through May 1, 2021, and thereafter was required to make payments of principal and accrued interest in equal monthly installments sufficient to amortize the Term Loan through June 1, 2024, the maturity date. On June 3, 2024, the Company paid off the Term Loan by making a final payment in an aggregate amount equal to approximately $3.3 million, which included both the balance of outstanding principal and interest and the final payment fee due. The repayment in full of the Term Loan terminated Oxford’s security interest in the Company’s existing and after-acquired assets, as well as all other restrictions and covenants under the Term Loan.

  1. Line of Credit Facility

On May 31, 2024, the Company drew down $3.3 million on a margin loan facility under a line of credit (the “Pershing Credit Facility”) with Pershing LLC (“Pershing”), an affiliate of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. On January 3, 2025, the Pershing Credit Facility was fully repaid and the collateralized marketable securities were fully redeemed. On December 22, 2025, the Company drew down $0.8 million under the Pershing Credit Facility.

The available credit line limit under the Pershing Credit Facility fluctuates based on the Company’s request for extensions from time to time, subject to the value of the collateralized marketable securities the Company holds with Pershing, provided that the amount available to draw under the Pershing Credit Facility cannot exceed 91.5% of the value of the collateralized marketable securities deposited with Pershing. Depending on the value of the marketable securities the Company held with Pershing, Pershing could require the Company from time-to-time to deposit additional funds or marketable securities in order to restore the level of collateral to an acceptable level. The amounts borrowed under the Pershing Credit Facility are due on demand.

Borrowings under the Pershing Credit Facility bear interest at the target interest rate set by the Federal Open Market Committee, subject to a floor of 5.5%, plus a spread of 1.75% and applicable fees of 0.5%, subject to a maximum interest rate of the then applicable Prime Rate as published in The Wall Street Journal plus 3.0%. Interest payments thereunder are calculated on a monthly basis and, unless paid, are added to the outstanding balance under the Pershing Credit Facility. The proceeds under the Pershing Credit Facility are available for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes. Volatility in the global markets could cause the interest rate to fluctuate from time to time increasing the Company’s costs, or could cause Pershing to terminate the Company’s ability to borrow funds. In addition, borrowings under the Pershing Credit Facility have the effect of limiting the Company’s use of cash and marketable securities.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company held collateralized marketable securities with Pershing with a total value of $0.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

  1. Grant Revenue

CPRIT Grant

On September 19, 2022, the Company entered into that certain Cancer Research Grant Contract (the “CPRIT Contract”), effective as of August 31, 2022, with the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (“CPRIT”), pursuant to which CPRIT provides the Company with a CPRIT grant (“CPRIT Grant”) over athree-year period to fund the continued development ofrhenium (186 Re) obisbemedafor the treatment of patients with leptomeningeal metastases. The CPRIT Grant is subject to customary CPRIT funding conditions, including, but not limited to, a matching fund requirement (one dollar for every two dollars awarded by CPRIT), revenue sharing obligations upon commercialization ofrhenium (186 Re) obisbemeda based on specific dollar thresholds and tiered low single digit royalty rates until CPRIT receives the aggregate amount of 400% of the proceeds awarded under the CPRIT Grant, and certain reporting requirements.

The CPRIT Contract will terminate on August 28, 2026, unless terminated earlier by (a) the mutual written consent of all parties to the CPRIT Contract, (b) CPRIT for an event of default by the Company, (c) CPRIT, if the funds allocated to the CPRIT Grant become legally unavailable during the term of the CPRIT Contract and CPRIT is unable to obtain additional funds for such purposes, and (d) the Company for convenience. CPRIT may require the Company to repay some or all of the disbursed CPRIT Grant proceeds (with interest not to exceed 5% annually) in the event of the early termination of the CPRIT Contract by CPRIT for an event of default by the Company or by the Company for convenience, or if the Company relocates its principal place of business outside of the state of Texas during the CPRIT Contract term or within three years after the final payment of the grant funds.

The Company retains ownership over any intellectual property developed under the CPRIT Contract (each, a “Project Result”). With respect to non-commercial use of any Project Result, the Company granted to CPRIT a nonexclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide license with right to sublicense any necessary additional intellectual property rights to exploit all Project Results by CPRIT, other governmental entities and agencies of the State of Texas, and private or independent institutions of higher education located in Texas, for education, research and other non-commercial purposes.

The Company recognized$5.2 million and $5.8 million in grant revenue from the CPRIT Contract during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The grant revenue receivable balance related to the CPRIT Grant on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Department of Defense Award

Effective September 1, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with the Department of Defense office of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs to receive a $3.0 million award for research and development purposes (“DoD Award”) over athree year period. The DoD Award will be used to support the planned expansion of the Company’s clinical trial for pediatric brain cancer. On October 4, 2024, the Company received its first payment under the DoD Award in the amount of $0.9 million, which was recorded as deferred grant liability as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, no grant revenue was recognized related to the DoD Award.

  1. Biocept Asset Acquisitions

On April 26, 2024, the Company, after having its bid accepted by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, acquired from Biocept, for a total cash payment of $400,000, substantially all of the right, title and interest in acerebrospinal fluid cancer diagnostic portfolio (the “CNSide Platform”), including (i) intellectual property, (ii) inventory and raw materials, and (iii) data, information, results and reports pertaining to the completed and on-going clinical studies involving the use of the CNSide Platform (including, but not limited to, the FORESEE clinical study that was being conducted by Biocept), related to the development, making, selling, and exporting or importing of the CNSide proprietary cell enumeration test (the “CNSide Test”).

The Company concluded that the acquisition of the Biocept assets was not a business combination, as Biocept did not meet the definition of a business in ASC 805, Business Combination. The Company accounted for the asset purchase transaction under the authoritative guidance for asset acquisitions, and allocated the costs of acquisitions of approximately $45,000 among the assets acquired based on the relative fair value of such assets, which is predominately concentrated in the intellectual property acquired including patents and trademarks. The intangible assets acquired from Biocept are capitalized and amortized over a useful life of four years.

  1. Income Taxes

Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) of 1986, as amended, specifically IRC §382 (“Section 382”) and IRC §383, the Company’s ability to use net operating loss (“NOLs”) and R&D tax credit carry forwards (“tax attribute carry forwards”) to offset future taxable income is limited if the Company experiences a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% within athree-year testing period. The Company's use of federal and state NOLs and research credits could be limited further by the provisions of Section 382 depending upon the timing and amount of additional equity securities that the Company has issued or will issue. State NOL carryforwards may be similarly limited. If a change in ownership were to have occurred, NOL and tax credits carryforwards could be eliminated or restricted. If eliminated, the related asset would be removed from the deferred tax asset schedule with a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, limitations created by ownership changes, if any, will not impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets and due to our net losses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there wasno provision or benefit for income taxes recorded.

The table below summarizes the Company’s net loss before income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

The Company has established a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such assets. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the deferred tax assets. At such time as it is determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance of $25.9 million as of December 31, 2025 as it does not believe it is more likely than not the net deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company increased its valuation allowance by approximately $3.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2025.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had federal and state tax loss carry forwards of approximately $90.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively. The federal and state net operating loss carry forwards begin to expire in 2037 and 2044, if unused, respectively. The federal net operating loss carryover includes $87.3 million of net operating losses generated after 2017. Federal net operating losses generated from 2018 onwards carryover indefinitely and may generally be used to offset up to 80% of future taxable income. At December 31, 2025, the Company had federal tax credit carry forwards of approximately $2.3 million, before reduction for uncertain tax positions. The federal credits will begin to expire in 2039, if unused. In addition, at December 31, 2025, the Company had state tax credit carry forwards of approximately $0.4 million, before reduction for uncertain tax positions. The state credits will begin to expire in 2039, if unused.

The Company follows the provisions of income tax guidance which provides recognition criteria and a related measurement model for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The guidance requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are then measured using a probability weighted approach recognizing the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company hasnot recognized any liability for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Following is a tabular reconciliation of the unrecognized tax benefits activity during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

20252024
Unrecognized Tax Benefits – Beginning$424$408
Gross increases – tax positions in prior period5—
Gross decreases – tax positions in prior period—(5)
Gross increase – current-period tax positions12821
Unrecognized Tax Benefits – Ending$557$424

The unrecognized tax benefit amounts are reflected in the determination of the Company’s deferred tax assets. If recognized, none of these amounts would affect the Company’s effective tax rate, since it would be offset by an equal reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

The Company didnot recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company files income tax returns with the United States and various state jurisdictions. The Company is currently not under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

With few exceptions, the Company’s tax years prior to 2021 are no longer open to examination by the taxing authority. While not open to examination, the tax attributes generated in tax years prior to 2021 remain subject to adjustment by the taxing authorities if utilized in tax years which are still open to examination.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, which enacts significant changes to U.S. tax and related laws. Some of the provisions of the new tax law affecting corporations include but are not limited to current deduction of domestic research expenses, increasing the limit of the deduction of interest expense deduction to thirty percent of EBITDA, and one hundred percent bonus depreciation on eligible property acquired after January 19, 2025. The Company has evaluated the impact the new tax law had on its financial condition and results of operations. OBBBA had no impact on the Company's effective income tax rate, its net deferred federal income tax liability, or current taxes payables. The impact of the tax law changes from the OBBBA is included in the Company’s financial statements.

  1. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company implemented a 401(k) retirement savings and profit sharing plan (the “Plan”) effective January 1, 1999. During 2022, the Company commenced safe harbor matching contribu tion for up to 4% of eligible employee contributions. Total matching contribution under the Plan amounted to approximately $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

  1. Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

Common Stock

February 2025 SPEA Agreements

On February 13, 2025 (the “February 2025 Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “February 2025 SPEA”) with certain existing accredited investors (the “February 2025 Purchasers”). Pursuant to the February 2025 SPEA, on the February 2025 Closing Date the Company issued secured convertible promissory notes (the “Funding Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $3.3 million together with common stock purchase warrants (the “February 2025 Warrants”) to purchase 3,002,009 shares of the Company common stock, par value $0.001 and exercise price of $1.12 per share (the “February 2025 Warrant Exercise Price”). The aggregate purchase price for the Funding Notes and the February 2025 Warrants was approximately $3.7 million (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) and included proceeds from the February 2025 Purchasers of $0.125 per February 2025 Warrant in accordance with Nasdaq listing rules. The Funding Notes would mature on February 13, 2026, and bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum, subject to increase upon events of default. The February 2025 Warrants were exercisable for five-years from the date of issuance.

The Funding Notes, accrued interest and February 2025 warrants were repurchased by the Company subsequent to consummation of the March 2025 Private Placement for an aggregate repurchase price of $4.2 million.

Security Interest

The obligations of the Company under the February 2025 SPEA, Funding Notes and Exchange Notes (as defined below) were secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company pursuant to a security agreement, dated as of the February 2025 Closing Date, among the Company, CNSide Diagnostics, LLC (a subsidiary of the Company, “CNSide Diagnostics”), and Iroquois Master Fund Ltd., as collateral agent for the February 2025 Purchasers (the “Security Agreement”), subject to certain exceptions. The Security Agreement contained certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the Company’s and CNSide Diagnostic’s ability to dispose of assets, subject to customary exceptions. The repayment of the Company’s obligations under the February 2025 SPEA and Notes were guaranteed pursuant to a subsidiary guarantee, dated as of the February 2025 Closing Date (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”), by and among CNSide Diagnostics and the February 2025 Purchasers. The Security Agreement and the Subsidiary Guarantee were subsequently terminated after the closing of the private placement pursuant to the March 2025 SPA (as defined below).

Exchange Notes

As disclosed below, the Company entered into the May 2024 Purchase Agreement (defined below), with the May 2024 Purchasers for the private placement of securities, including the May 2024 Series A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 3,591,532 shares of common stock. The May 2024 Purchase Agreement included certain limitations and restrictions on the Company’s ability to issue securities and provided the May 2024 Purchasers and the other investors signatories to the May 2024 Purchase Agreement participation rights in future equity and equity-linked offerings of securities, subject to certain limited exceptions (the “Financing Restrictions”). On the February 2025 Closing Date, pursuant to the February 2025 SPEA, the Company issued to the May 2024 Purchasers secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $3.2 million (the “Exchange Notes”) in exchange for cancellation of the May 2024 Series A Warrants held by the May 2024 Purchasers, and the May 2024 Purchasers entered into a second amendment to the May 2024 Purchase Agreement to eliminate the Financing Restrictions. The terms and conditions of the Exchange Notes were substantially identical in all material respects to the Funding Notes. The Security Agreement and Subsidiary Guarantee also applied to the obligations under the Exchange Notes. The Exchange Notes were exchanged after the closing of the March 2025 Private Placement as defined below.

Both the Funding Notes and the Exchange Notes contained embedded conversion features that were required to be bifurcated and accounted for as derivative liabilities. The Company evaluated authoritative guidance for accounting for convertible debt instruments and elected to account for the Funding Notes and Exchange Notes at fair value. Consequently, the Company recorded the Funding Notes and Exchange Notes in their entirety at fair value at issuance and immediately before settlement, with changes in fair value recorded as change in fair value of derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations between the issuance date and the settlement date.

The Company entered into the transaction due to immediate funding requirements. Under authoritative guidance, if the fair value of a warrant liability exceeds the proceeds received in an arm’s length transaction with no rights or privileges that require separate accounting recognition as an asset identified, then the warrant liability is recorded at fair value with the excess of fair value over proceeds recognized as a loss in earnings. The Exchange Notes, Funding Notes and associated warrants were recorded at fair value on the issuance date at $3.8 million, $4.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The excess of the fair value of the instruments issued over cash received of $3.7 million and the carrying value of the May 2024 Series A Warrants exchanged of $3.7 million, in the amount of $3.1 million was recorded as a financing expense in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Changes in the fair value of Exchange Notes, Funding Notes and February 2025 Warrants between issuance date and settlement date, in the amount of a gain of $0.3 million, a gain of $0.3 million and a gain of $2.2 million, respectively, were recorded as change in the fair value of derivative instruments in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The March 2025 SPA, provided for the sale and issuance by the Company of an aggregate of 28,042,140 shares (the “March 2025 Private Placement Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, or, at the election of each March 2025 Private Placement Purchaser, pre-funded warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “March 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants”), exercisable immediately at an exercise price of $0.001 per share (the “March 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”), with each March 2025 Private Placement Share or March 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant accompanied by (i) a Series A common warrant (the “March 2025 Series A Warrants”) to purchase one share of common stock (the “March 2025 Series A Warrant Shares”), and (ii) one Series B common warrant (the “March 2025 Series B Warrants”) to purchase one share of common stock (see below for additional details on the Series B Warrants cashless exercise provisions) (the “March 2025 Series B Warrant Shares,” and together with the March 2025 Series A Warrant Shares, the “March 2025 Common Warrant Shares”). The March 2025 Private Placement Shares, March 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants, March 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, March 2025 Series A Warrants, March 2025 Series B Warrants, and the March 2025 Common Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “March 2025 Securities.” Pursuant to the March 2025 SPA, the Company issued to the March 2025 Private Placement Purchasers 4,069,738 March 2025 Private Placement Shares,23,972,400 March 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants,28,042,138 March 2025 Series A Warrants and 28,042,138 March 2025 Series B Warrants. As of December 31, 2025, all March 2025 Series A Warrants and March 2025 Series B Warrants were settled as a result of cancellation, exchanges or exercises as detailed below.

The combined purchase price of $0.66 for each March 2025 Private Placement Share or $0.659 for each March 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant in the March 2025 Private Placement, together with one accompanying March 2025 Series A Warrant and one accompanying March 2025 Series B Warrant, represents the applicable “Minimum Price” in accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5635(d).

The initial exercise price of each March 2025 Series A Warrant issued in the March 2025 Private Placement was $1.32 per share of common stock. The March 2025 Series A Warrants were exercisable only following stockholder approval and expire five (5) years thereafter. The March 2025 Series A Warrants were subject to certain price reset, share combination event and anti-dilution provisions which, if triggered, provided that the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the March 2025 Series A Warrants would downward adjust, subject to a floor price of $0.132 (the “Floor Price”), and the number of shares issuable upon exercise therefor would increase such that the aggregate exercise price remained unchanged. The March 2025 Series A Warrants were extinguished as part of the Letter Agreement on June 17, 2025 as discussed below.

The initial exercise price of each March 2025 Series B Warrant issued in the March 2025 Private Placement was $1.98 per share of common stock. The March 2025 Series B Warrants were exercisable only following stockholder approval and expire two and one-half (2.5) years thereafter. The March 2025 Series B Warrants were subject to certain price reset and share combination event provisions which, if triggered, provided that the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the March 2025 Series B Warrants would downward adjust, subject to the Floor Price, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise therefor would increase such that the aggregate exercise price remained unchanged. In addition, the March 2025 Series B Warrant alternative cashless exercise provision provided that the March 2025 Series B Warrant could be exercised without further payment to the Company and for three times the number of shares of common stock then subject to the March 2025 Series B Warrant.

The March 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable from the date of issuance until exercised in full. The March 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants, March 2025 Series A Warrants and March 2025 Series B Warrants may not be exercised to the extent that immediately following such exercise, the holder would beneficially own greater than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, greater than 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

In connection with the March 2025 Private Placement, the Company issued 3,077,270 shares of common stock,19,650,000 shares of March 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof, and accompanying 22,727,270 March 2025 Series A Warrants and 22,727,270 March 2025 Series B Warrants in consideration of new capital subscriptions. In addition, the Company issued 992,468 shares of common stock,4,322,400 March 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof, and accompanying 5,314,870 March 2025 Series A Warrants and 5,314,870 March 2025 Series B Warrants, were issued in exchange for the cancelation of approximately $3.2 million in aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Notes.

The Company evaluated the terms of the February 2025 Warrants, March 2025 Series A Warrants and March 2025 Series B Warrants under authoritative guidance and concluded that each of the instruments should be accounted for as a liability instrument at fair value at issuance and each subsequent balance sheet date until settlement, with changes in the fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. The March 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants meet the criteria to be recorded as equity in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

The March 2025 Private Placement closed on March 7, 2025 (the “March 2025 Closing Date”). The aggregate gross proceeds at the March 2025 Closing Date totaled approximately $15.0 million. The gross proceeds, along with the fair value of the February 2025 Warrants of $0.5 million and Exchange Notes of $3.5 million as of the settlement date of March 4, 2025, were first allocated to the warrant liability instruments at their full fair value, totaling $13.2 million, with the remainder of $5.8 million recorded to common stock and additional paid-in capital in equity of the consolidated balance sheet. Total offering expenses of $1.4 million were allocated based on the allocated amount of proceeds to warrant liabilities and equity, with $1.0 million recorded as warrant issuance expenses and expensed as incurred, and the remaining $0.4 million recorded as common stock issuance costs in additional paid-in capital.

On May 2, 2025, our stockholders approved, among other things, the March 2025 Series A Warrants and March 2025 Series B Warrants and an amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the authorized share capital to an amount sufficient to cover the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the March 2025 Series A Warrants and March 2025 Series B Warrants. As part of the March 2025 Series A Warrants and March 2025 Series B Warrants agreement, the exercise price of the March 2025 Series A Warrants and March 2025 Series B Warrants were reset on May 19, 2025 to $0.4373 per share. Prior to modification of the March 2025 Series B Warrants as part of the Letter Agreement (as further described below), certain March 2025 Series B Warrants were cashless exercised for the issuance of 21,482,492 shares of common stock. The liability classified March 2025 Series B Warrants were remeasured immediately prior to exercise, which resulted in a $3.8 million gain on the change in fair value for the year ended December 31, 2025, and a $0.8 million credit to additional paid-in-capital.

During the year ended December 31, 2025,57,018,872 March 2025 Series A Warrants and March 2025 Series B Warrants were exercised or exchanged.

Letter Agreement

On June 17, 2025, the Company and the March 2025 Private Placement Purchasers entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with each of the March 2025 Private Placement Purchasers in an effort to, among other items, minimize the dilutive impact of the March 2025 Private Placement. The Letter Agreement extinguished the March 2025 Series A Warrants, modified the March 2025 Series B Warrants, and provided for the return and cancellation of Private Placement Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants, as further discussed in the following paragraphs.

As part of the Letter Agreement, all March 2025 Series A Warrants were cancelled. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the March 2025 Series A Warrant liability was $5.0 million. On June 17, 2025, the March 2025 Series A Warrants were immediately remeasured to fair value prior to their cancellation, which resulted in a $0.3 million loss on change in fair value attributable to the March 2025 Series A Warrants for the year ended December 31, 2025. The extinguishment of the March 2025 Series A Warrants was recognized as a $2.3 million capital contribution and recorded to additional paid-in capital, as the extinguishment was deemed equivalent to a capital contribution by existing shareholders of the Company.

As part of the same transaction, the March 2025 Series B Warrants were amended (the "Amended March 2025 Series B Warrants"), to (a) reduce the overall number of March 2025 Series B Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants to an aggregate of up to 35,536,380 Series B Warrant Shares, (b) reduce the alternative cashless exercise ratio in such March 2025 Series B Warrants from 3:1 to 1:1, (c) remove provisions contained in the March 2025 Series B Warrants that would otherwise reduce the Company’s stockholders’ equity, and (d) reset the exercise price of the Amended March 2025 Series B Warrants back to $1.98 per share. As a result of the Letter Agreement, the Amended March 2025 Series B Warrants no longer fail the indexation guidance under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, resulting in a reclassification from liability to equity. Immediately prior to reclassification, the March 2025 Series B Warrant liability was remeasured, and $4.5 million was recognized as a capital contribution and recorded to additional paid-in capital, as the modification of the March 2025 Series B Warrants was deemed equivalent to a capital contribution by existing shareholders of the Company. The remeasured fair value of the March 2025 Series B warrant liability, in the amount of $11.0 million was reclassified to equity. After the June 17, 2025 modification,34,794,540 of the Amended March 2025 Series B Warrants were cashless exercised resulting in the issuance of 34,794,540 shares of common stock.

Lastly, in conjunction with the Letter Agreement, each of the March 2025 Private Placement Purchasers agreed to return an aggregate of 12,241,986 Private Placement Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants issuable for an aggregate of 10,633,650 Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, held by them as of the date of the Letter Agreement, upon request of the Company (the "Letter Agreement Repurchase Option"), which were issued pursuant to the March 2025 Private Placement Purchase Agreement for a value of $0.66 per Private Placement Share and $0.659 per Pre-Funded Warrant. In exchange therefor, the Company agreed to repay the March 2025 Private Placement Purchasers holding such securities 115% of such value, using 90% of the proceeds from any capital raised by the Company subsequent to July 1, 2025. The Company and each of the March 2025 Private Placement Purchasers also agreed to waive any restrictions on subsequent equity sales and variable rate transactions contained in March 2025 Private Placement Purchase Agreement to allow for such repayment. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid the March 2025 Private Placement Purchasers $3.2 million and 5,211,835 shares were returned and cancelled under the terms of the Letter Agreement.

Support Letters

On July 11, 2025, the Company and certain March 2025 Private Placement Purchasers party to the Letter Agreement entered into that certain letter of support (the “Support Letters”) to modify certain portions of the Letter Agreement as between the Company and each of such March 2025 Private Placement Purchasers. In the event that the Company reasonably believes that, within the 30 days (the “Modification Period”) prior to the end of any fiscal quarter, the Company will have stockholders’ equity in an amount below $3.0 million as of the end of such fiscal quarter (the “Potential Equity Deficiency”), the Subsequent Financing Percentage (as defined in the Letter Agreement) shall be modified from 90% to 50% for any Subsequent Financing (as defined in the Letter Agreement) that occurs during the Modification Period pursuant to the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. Upon the end of the Modification Period, the Subsequent Financing Percentage shall be reverted to 90%, and such percentage shall apply to all Subsequent Financings, including all Subsequent Financings pursuant to the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. In the event the Company desires to trigger the modification of the Subsequent Financing Percentage, the Company agrees to supply the purchaser who executed a Support Letter with a pro forma balance sheet to evidence its reasonable belief of the Potential Equity Deficiency approximately 30 days prior to each end of fiscal quarter once the books for prior months are closed. In accordance with the Support Letters, the Company made a cash payment of $0.5 million to such purchasers for a total cash payment of $2.3 million, which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025. Such payment counted as cash received by the purchaser towards its Maximum Amount. Each Support Letter also granted the purchaser party to the letter a participation right in certain future financings of the Company for a period of 12 months.

On October 28, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Letter Agreement and the Support Letters with certain March 2025 Private Placement Purchasers (the “Amendment Agreement”), pursuant to which (a) the Support Letters were terminated other than with respect to the participation rights granted therein, and (b) the repayment mechanism under the Letter Agreement was modified. As modified, the Company is no longer required to use 90% of the proceeds from any subsequent financing to repay the March 2025 Private Placement Purchasers. Instead, the Company is only required to retain sufficient funds in an interest bearing account to cover such repayment obligations and make such repayments upon request by any March 2025 Private Placement Purchaser who executed the Amendment Agreement until each such purchaser has received cash either from the Company or from reselling securities acquired in the March 2025 Private Placement in an amount equal to 115% of the purchase price such purchaser paid in the March 2025 Private Placement. If such requests are made, the requesting purchaser must return shares acquired in the March 2025 Private Placement at a value of $0.66 per share.

The repayment obligation owed under the Amendment Agreement is accounted for at fair value as a financial liability in accordance with ASC 480. The liability is remeasured each period, with changes to fair value recorded in the statement of operations. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a remaining liability of approximately $4.5 million included in investor liability pursuant to the letter agreement on its consolidated balance sheet.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $7.7 million as a reduction of additional paid in capital representing the total investor liability pursuant to the letter agreement. This reduction in additional paid in capital is net of $0.9 million as a result of the reselling of securities acquired in the March 2025 Private Placement by certain March 2025 Private Placement Purchasers, which was recorded as a reduction of the liability that would have been settled in cash, with a corresponding increase to stockholders’ equity.

First Amendment to the February 2025 SPEA

In connection with entering into the March 2025 SPA, the Company entered into that certain First Amendment to the February 2025 SPEA (the “First Amendment”). The February 2025 SPEA included certain limitations and restrictions on the Company’s ability to issue securities and provided the investors with participation rights in future equity and equity-linked offerings of securities, subject to certain limited exceptions (the “New Financing Restrictions”). Pursuant to the First Amendment, subject to consummation of the March 2025 Private Placement, the Company agreed to repurchase from the Investors $3.4 million in principal amount of the Company’s Funding Notes and accrued interest, along with the February 2025 Warrants issued pursuant to the February 2025 SPEA for an aggregate purchase price of $4.2 million. In exchange for the repurchase by the Company of the Funding Notes and SPEA Warrants, the February 2025 Purchasers agreed to consent to the March 2025 Private Placement and eliminate the New Financing Restrictions.

May 2024 Private Placement

On May 5, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors, including certain of the Company’s directors and executive officers (“Company Insiders”) (collectively, the “Purchasers”), for the sale and issuance by the Company of its securities (the “Initial Subscription”). On May 8, 2024, the Company entered into a first amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement (together with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the “Purchase Agreement”), for the sale and issuance by the Company of additional securities to two of the Purchasers (the “Additional Subscription,” and together with the Initial Subscription, the “May 2024 Private Placement”). The Purchase Agreement provides for the sale and issuance by the Company of an aggregate of 3,591,532 shares (the “Private Placement Shares”) of the Company’s common stock or, at the election of each Purchaser, pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), exercisable immediately at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, with each Private Placement Share or Pre-Funded Warrant accompanied by (i) a Series A common warrant (“Series A Warrants”) to purchase one share of common stock, for an aggregate of 3,591,532 Series A Warrants, and (ii) one Series B common warrant (“Series B Warrants”) to purchase one share of common stock, for an aggregate of 3,591,532 Series B Warrants.

The combined purchase price for each Private Placement Share and Pre-Funded Warrant from the Initial Subscription was $2.022, and $2.158 from the Additional Subscription, in each case together with one accompanying Series A Warrant and one accompanying Series B Warrant provided, that the Company Insiders participated in the Initial Subscription at an offering price of $2.04 per Private Placement Share and accompanying Series A Warrant and Series B Warrant.

The exercise price of May 2024 Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants from the Initial Subscription is $1.772 per share from the Initial Subscription and $1.908 per share from the Additional Subscription, provided that the exercise price for the May 2024 Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants issued to the Company Insiders is $1.79 per share. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the May 2024 Series A Warrants will be exercisable until May 9, 2029, which is the five-year anniversary of issuance. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the May 2024 Series B Warrants will be exercisable until June 24, 2025. The Pre-Funded Warrant will not expire until exercised in full.

Prior to the Amendment and Restatements (as defined below), if a holder of a May 2024 Series A Warrant or a Series B Warrant was unable to exercise the warrant due to the limitation contained in the warrant that restricts the holder from owning above a specified beneficial ownership level (generally 4.99% or 9.99%) as the result of exercise of the warrant, then the holder had the right to elect upon exercise of the warrant to receive a Pre-Funded Warrant for the same number of shares of common stock that would otherwise have been received upon exercise of the warrant. In addition, prior to the Amendment and Restatements, the May 2024 Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants provided for a call right starting June 24, 2025, in favor of the Company, if the volume-weighted average price of the shares of common stock exceeds specified prices.

The May 2024 Private Offering closed on May 9, 2024. The Company issued 1,439,988 shares of common stock,2,151,544 Pre-Funded Warrants,3,591,532 Series A Warrants and 3,591,532 Series B Warrants to purchase shares of its common stock in connection with the May 2024 Private Placement. The net proceeds from the May 2024 Private Placement were approximately $7.3 million.

The Company reviewed the terms of the May 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants, Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants under the authoritative accounting guidance as of the issuance date.

As described above, the May 2024 Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants were initially classified as liabilities for the reason that they could have been exercised into either shares of common stock or May 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants at the holder’s option and thus failed the indexation guidance under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The May 2024 Series A Warrant and Series B Warrant liability were initially recorded at fair value as of the issuance date, and under the terms of the May 2024 Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants when issued that liability was subject to adjustment to estimated fair value at each balance sheet date until the warrants were settled. Refer below for additional information regarding the amendment of the May 2024 Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants that eliminated the ability of the May 2024 Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants to be exercised into Pre-Funded Warrants, and as a result, the reclassification of the May 2024 Series A and B Warrants from liability to equity section of the consolidated balance sheet.

The May 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants are equity classified because they (1) are freestanding financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the common stock, (2) are immediately exercisable, (3) do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, (4) permit the holder to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise, (5) are indexed to the Company’s common stock and (6) meet the equity classification criteria.

The proceeds from the May 2024 Private Placement were first allocated to the full fair value of the May 2024 Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants due to the initial liability classification. As disclosed in Note 3, Fair Value Measurements, the fair value of the May 2024 Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants at issuance was $10.9 million. Under authoritative guidance, if the fair value of a warrant liability exceeds the proceeds received in an arm’s length transaction with no rights or privileges that require separate accounting recognition as an asset identified, then the warrant liability is recorded at fair value with the excess of fair value over proceeds recognized as a loss in earnings. The Company recognized approximately $3.5 million in financing expense in the consolidated statement of operations during year ended December 31, 2024, which represents the excess of the fair value of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants at issuance over the proceeds. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a fair value gain on warrant liability of $5.7 million. Proceeds from the May 2024 Private Placement are shown as cash from financing transactions and the gain on warrant liability is included as an adjustment to reconcile the net loss to net cash used in operating activities in the statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024.

In addition, total offering expenses related to the May 2024 Private Placement of $0.4 million were recorded as a component of other expenses as the entire proceeds were allocated to the warrant liability, which, prior to the amendment described below, could be settled with either the Company’s shares of common stock or May 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants, which are exercisable into the Company’s shares of common stock at any time at the holders’ option, but not in cash payment to the holders.

During the year ended December 31, 2025,497,824 May 2024 Series B Warrants were exercised.

Amendment and Restatement of May 2024 Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants

On August 9, 2024, the Company amended and restated the May 2024 Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants (the “Amendment and Restatements”) issued in the May 2024 Private Placement. The Amendment and Restatements eliminated the ability of the holders of the May 2024 Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants to elect to purchase Pre-Funded Warrants upon exercise of the May 2024 Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants in lieu of shares of common stock if the holder would have been restricted because of the specified beneficial ownership level in the May 2024 Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants.

In addition, the Amendment and Restatements eliminated the Company’s call right under the terms of the May 2024 Series A Warrants to call the May 2024 Series A Warrants after June 24, 2025, if the volume-weighted average price of shares of common stock exceeded specified prices. There were no other changes in the terms of the May 2024 Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants.

As a result of the Amendment and Restatements, the May 2024 Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants, as amended, no longer failed the indexation guidance under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and the fair value of the warrant liability at the amendment date, in the amount of $5.2 million, was reclassified to equity.

Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement

On June 17, 2025, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), pursuant to which the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park committed to purchase up to $50.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share. Such sales of common stock by the Company are subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement including, but not limited to, the filing and effectiveness of a registration statement (a “Lincoln Park Registration Statement”). As of December 31, 2025, under the Lincoln Park Registration Statements, the resale of up to a total of 50,000,000 shares are reserved for issuance and sale under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement.

In any case, Lincoln Park’s maximum obligation under any single Regular Purchase will not exceed $1.0 million. The above-referenced share amount limitations and closing sale price thresholds are subject to adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction as provided in the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price per share for each such Regular Purchase will be 97% of the lesser of: (i) the lowest sale price for the common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on the date of sale, and (ii) the average of the three lowest closing sale prices for the common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market during the 10 consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding the purchase date.

The Company also has the right to direct Lincoln Park, on any business day on which the Company has properly submitted a Regular Purchase notice for the maximum amount the Company is then permitted to sell to Lincoln Park in such Regular Purchase, to purchase an additional amount of the common stock (an “Accelerated Purchase”) of additional shares based on criteria established in the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. The purchase price per share for each such Accelerated Purchase will be 96.5% of the lesser of: (i) the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) during a specific time window on the Accelerated Purchase date as defined in the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on the same Accelerated Purchase date.

In addition to the Regular Purchase and Accelerated Purchase, the Company can sell to Lincoln Park an additional amount of common stock (an “Additional Accelerated Purchases”), which can be initiated multiple times on the same Additional Accelerated Purchase date.

The sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park through a Regular Purchase, an Accelerated Purchase and an Additional Accelerated Purchases, depend upon a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations. The net proceeds under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement to the Company depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells shares of its stock to Lincoln Park.

In accordance with the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company was required to pay Lincoln Park an initial commitment fee of $0.5 million, which was paid through the issuance of 1,612,903 shares of common stock on August 14, 2025. The initial commitment fee was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025. The Company agreed to pay an additional commitment fee of $0.5 million, which it elected to pay in shares of its common stock, upon receipt of $25.0 million aggregate gross proceeds from sales of common stock to Lincoln Park under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement.

As of the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued 50,000,000 shares under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement for gross proceeds of approximately $22.6 million.

As of December 31, 2025, there were 2,986,025 shares of common stock remaining and available for future issuances under the 2015 Plan.

The Company’s 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which replaced the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, provides for the award or sale of shares of common stock (including restricted stock), the award of stock units and stock appreciation rights, and the grant of both incentive stock options to purchase common stock to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The 2020 Plan, as amended, provides for the issuance of up to 21,303,334 shares of common stock, plus the number of shares available for issuance is increased to the extent that awards granted under the 2020 Plan and the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan are forfeited or expire (except as otherwise provided in the 2020 Plan). As of December 31, 2025, there were 6,864,306 shares remaining and available for future issuances under the 2020 Plan.

Generally, options issued under the 2020 Plan are subject to atwo-year orfour-year vesting schedule with 25% of the options vesting on the one year anniversary of the grant date followed by equal monthly installment vesting, and have a contractual term of 10 years.

As of December 31, 2025, the total compensation cost related to non-vested stock options not yet recognized for all the Company’s plans is approximately $5.1 million, which is expected to be recognized as a result of vesting under service conditions over a weighted average period of 3.17 years.

The estimated fair value of options, including the effect of estimated forfeitures, is recognized over the requisite service period, which is typically the vesting period of each option. The fair value of each option awarded during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model based on the following weighted-average assumptions:

December 31,2025December 31,2024
Expected term (years)6.06.0
Risk-free interest rate3.87%3.79%
Expected volatility149.6%120.6%
Dividend yield0%0%
Resulting fair value$0.57$1.39

The weighted average risk-free interest rate represents the interest rate for treasury constant maturity instruments published by the Federal Reserve Board. If the term of available treasury constant maturity instruments is not equal to the expected term of an employee option, the Company uses the weighted average of the two Federal Reserve securities closest to the expected term of the employee option.

The dividend yield has been assumed to bezero as the Company (a) has never declared or paid any dividends and (b) does not currently anticipate paying any cash dividends on its outstanding shares of common stock in the foreseeable future.

Generally, restricted stock units represent the right to receive a certain number of shares of common stock subject to certain vesting conditions and other restrictions. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined by the closing market price on the grant date.

A summary of restricted stock unit activity for the year ended December 31, 2025 is as follows:

January 2026 Public Offering

On January 13, 2026, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC, as the underwriter (the “Underwriter”), pursuant to which the Company (a) agreed to issue and sell, in an underwritten public offering an aggregate of (i)39,473,684 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and (ii) warrants to purchase 39,473,684 shares of common stock, at a combined public offering price of $0.38 per share and warrant, and (b) granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 5,921,052 shares of Common Stock, additional Warrants to purchase up to 5,921,052 shares of Common Stock or any combination thereof, at the public offering price, in each case less underwriting discounts and commissions. Each warrant is immediately exercisable, entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.38 per share and expires five (5) years from the date of issuance. On January 14, 2026, the Underwriter exercised its over-allotment option with respect to additional warrants to purchase 5,921,052 shares of Common Stock.

The offering closed on January 15, 2026. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $13.3 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Investor Liability Pursuant to Letter Agreement

Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company paid the March 2025 Private Placement Purchasers $4.5 million to fully satisfy the investor liability owed under the modified Letter Agreement, and 6.8 million shares were returned and cancelled under the terms of the Letter Agreement. Due to the $4.5 million payoff, there is no longer a requirement to retain sufficient funds in an interest bearing account to cover such repayment obligations, and as such, the restriction lapsed on the $4.5 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents.
