Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Organization and Liquidity

Description of Business

Neumora Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware in November 2019, and is headquartered in Watertown, Massachusetts. The Company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company founded to confront the greatest medical challenges of our generation by bringing forward the next generation of novel therapies with brain-penetrant chemistry that offer improved treatment outcomes and quality of life for patients. The Company’s therapeutic pipeline currently consists of programs that target novel mechanisms of action for a broad range of underserved, prevalent diseases. The Company is advancing a Phase 3 program for navacaprant, a novel once-daily oral kappa opioid receptor (“KOR”) antagonist that is being developed for the treatment of major depressive disorder (“MDD”), which the Company believes has the potential to provide significant advantages relative to the standard of care, if approved. The Company is also advancing NMRA-511, a highly selective, novel antagonist of the vasopressin 1a receptor (“V1aR”) being developed for the treatment of agitation associated with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”). Beyond navacaprant and NMRA-511, Neumora is advancing a Phase 1 multiple-ascending dose (“MAD”) study of NMRA-898, a novel muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype 4 (“M4”) positive allosteric modulator (“PAM”) with potential best-in-class pharmacology for the treatment of schizophrenia. Additionally, Neumora is developing NMRA-215, a highly brain-penetrant, oral NLRP3 inhibitor for the treatment of obesity.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company has devoted a significant portion of its financial resources and efforts to building its organization, acquiring technologies and companies, executing clinical and preclinical studies, conducting research and development, identifying and developing potential product candidates, building its precision neuroscience tools, organizing and staffing the Company, business planning, establishing, maintaining and protecting its intellectual property portfolio, raising capital and providing general and administrative support for these operations. The Company has not generated revenue from the sale of products.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and as of March 31, 2026, had an accumulated deficit of $1,237.6 million. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $147.1 million, which are available to fund future operations. The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026 will be sufficient to support operations for at least the next 12 months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

The Company expects to incur additional losses in the future as it continues its research and development efforts, advances its product candidates through preclinical and clinical development, expands its product pipeline, potentially seeks regulatory approval, prepares for potential commercialization, as well as hires additional personnel, protects its intellectual property and potentially grows its business. The Company will need to raise additional capital to support its continuing operations and pursue its long-term business plan, including to complete the development and commercialization of its product candidates, if approved. Such activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including clinical failure which can impact the Company’s ability to secure additional funding. The Company expects to finance its cash needs through a combination of public or private equity offerings or debt financings or other capital sources, which may include strategic collaborations or other arrangements with third parties, or other sources of financing. However, there is no guarantee that any of these financing or opportunities will be executed or realized on favorable terms, if at all, and some could be dilutive to existing stockholders.

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, statement of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and related notes to condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any other future annual or interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates form the basis for judgments the Company makes about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge about current events and expectations about actions the Company may undertake in the future. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, accrued research and development expenses, accounting for acquisitions of assets, fair value of certain assets and liabilities, stock-based compensation, the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and related incremental borrowing rate, and uncertain tax positions and the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, changes in any of the following areas that the Company believes could have a material adverse effect on future financial position or results of operations: the Company's ability to successfully develop, manufacture, and market any approved products; the Company's ability to obtain regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or foreign regulatory agencies prior to any commercial sales; new technological innovations; dependence on key personnel, protection of intellectual property; compliance with governmental regulations; uncertainty of market acceptance of any approved products; product liability; and the need to obtain additional financing.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments, including money market funds, with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. All of the Company’s cash equivalents have liquid markets and high credit ratings. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposits and other accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company measures fair value by maximizing the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized in the fair value hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value as follows:

Level 1—Observable inputs such as unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable inputs for similar assets or liabilities. These include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value of the instrument.

Research and Development Expenses and Related Prepaid Assets and Accrued Liabilities

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses primarily consist of internal research and development expense, including personnel-related expenses (such as salaries, benefits and noncash stock-based compensation) and other expenses, including laboratory supplies and other non-capital equipment utilized for in-house research, research and consulting expenses, software development costs, license fees and allocated expenses, including facilities costs and depreciation and amortization; external research and development expenses incurred under arrangements with service providers conducting research and development services on its behalf, such as contract research organizations (“CROs”), preclinical testing organizations and contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”). Payments made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in research and development are capitalized, evaluated for current or long-term classification, and included in prepaid expenses and other current assets or other assets in the consolidated balance sheets based on when the goods are received or the services are expected to be received or consumed, and recognized in research and development expenses when they are realized.

The Company is required to estimate expenses resulting from its obligations under contracts with service providers in connection with conducting clinical trials. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations which vary from contract to contract and may result in cash flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided. The Company estimates and records accrued expenses for the related research and development activities based on the level of services performed but not yet invoiced pursuant to agreements established with its service providers, according to the progress of preclinical studies, clinical trials or related activities, and discussions with applicable personnel and service providers as to the progress or state of consummation of goods and services.

During the course of a clinical trial, the rate of expense recognition is adjusted if actual results differ from the Company’s estimates. The Company estimates accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date in its consolidated financial statements based on the facts and circumstances known at that time. The clinical trial accrual is dependent in part upon the timely and accurate reporting of CROs, CMOs and other service providers. Although the Company does not expect its estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, its estimate may vary from the actual results. To date, the Company has not experienced material differences between its accrued expenses and actual expenses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU 2024-04, Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion or extinguishment of convertible debt. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively in the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve disclosures by requiring additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an annual and interim basis. The standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The standard updates may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the disclosure requirements related to this new standard.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and the current portion of operating lease liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

The following tables summarize the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the valuation hierarchy:

  1. Debt

Term Loan

On May 9, 2025, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”) with K2 HealthVentures LLC (“K2HV”) providing up to $125.0 million in term loans (collectively, the “Term Loan”) across four tranches, subject to certain conditions. As of March 31, 2026, total gross proceeds of $60.0 million had been drawn under the Loan Agreement. For a full description of the facility's terms, amendments, and accounting treatment, see Note 5 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Term Loan matures on May 1, 2029. The Company is obligated to make interest-only payments for the first 36 months (or 48 months if the second tranche is funded), followed by interest and principal payments for the remaining 12 months. The Term Loan bears a variable interest rate equal to the greater of (i)10.45% or (ii) the prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street Journal plus 2.95%.

The Company's minimum liquidity covenant under the Loan Agreement becomes effective July 1, 2026. The applicable minimum liquidity requirement will depend on the Company’s achievement of specified operational milestones and/or its market capitalization and will be equal to (i)50% of the outstanding obligations under the Loan Agreement, (ii)105% of the outstanding obligations under the Loan Agreement, or (iii) waived in full (i.e., zero).

The Company may prepay, at its option, all, but not less than all, of the Term Loan then outstanding plus the accrued and unpaid interest on the portion of principal so repaid, subject to a prepayment premium and end of term fee. Prior to full repayment of the Term Loan, K2HV may elect to convert up to $10.0 million of outstanding principal into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $0.8774 per share and the lowest effective price per share of the Company’s next equity financing. Pursuant to the amended Loan Agreement, K2HV was granted the option to convert an additional $2.5 million of outstanding principal into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $2.3906 per share and the lowest effective price per share in the Company’s next equity financing. No prepayment penalty applies to any principal amount converted into common stock.

In 2025, K2HV converted a total of $3.95 million of outstanding principal under the Term Loan into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.8774, resulting in the issuance of 4,501,936 shares of common stock to K2HV. In February 2026, K2HV delivered a conversion notice pursuant to which $2.05 million of outstanding principal under the Term Loan was converted into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.8774, resulting in the issuance of 2,336,448 shares of common stock to K2HV.

The Company's obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of its assets, other than certain intellectual property assets, and the Loan Agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants and standard events of default, including a material adverse event default. K2HV also retains the right to invest up to $5.0 million in future offerings of the Company's capital stock, subject to certain conditions.

As of March 31, 2026, the carrying value of the Term Loan approximates fair value.

  1. Acquisitions of Assets

BlackThorn Therapeutics, Inc.

In 2020, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “BlackThorn Merger Agreement”) to acquire all of the equity interests of BlackThorn Therapeutics, Inc. (“BlackThorn”). The Company acquired BlackThorn for its in-process research and development programs, including an antagonist of the kappa opioid receptor (“navacaprant” or “NMRA-140”) for the treatment of MDD and an antagonist of the vasopressin 1a receptor (“NMRA-511”) for the treatment of agitation in AD. Both navacaprant and NMRA-511 were exclusively licensed to BlackThorn by The Scripps Research Institute (“TSRI”). The acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition of assets.

The BlackThorn Merger Agreement requires the Company to pay the former stockholders of BlackThorn contingent consideration (i) with respect to navacaprant, in the form of development and regulatory approval milestones of up to an aggregate amount of $365.0 million and sales-based milestones of up to an aggregate amount of $450.0 million and (ii) with respect to NMRA-511, in the form of development and regulatory approval milestones of up to an aggregate amount of $100.0 million, and sales-based milestones of up to an aggregate amount of $100.0 million (the “BlackThorn Milestones”).

At the Company’s sole discretion, the BlackThorn Milestone payments may be settled in cash or shares of the Company, or a combination of both, subject to the provisions of the BlackThorn Merger Agreement, other than one development milestone in the amount of $10.0 million, which must be settled in cash. The Company settled in a combination of cash and shares the Phase 3 navacaprant dosing milestone in December 2023. None of the other BlackThorn Milestones have been achieved andno such amounts were deemed due or payable as of March 31, 2026.

BlackThorn Carveout Plan

The BlackThorn Merger Agreement required that the Company establish a carveout plan (the “BlackThorn Carveout Plan”), pursuant to which each BlackThorn stock option holder as of immediately prior to the closing date was allocated a certain number of units (the “BlackThorn Carveout Units”) based on the number of shares underlying the outstanding options held by each participant at that time. Each BlackThorn Carveout Unit represents a right to receive a portion of the BlackThorn Milestone payment (the “BlackThorn Carveout Payments”) upon the later of (i) the achievement of a BlackThorn Milestone and (ii) the vesting of the BlackThorn Carveout Unit.

As of May 2024, all of the BlackThorn Carveout Units were fully vested. The BlackThorn Carveout Units represent contingent consideration. The Company recognizes the contingent consideration obligation for the BlackThorn Carveout Units when the contingency is resolved, and the consideration becomes payable. The Company settled the Phase 3 navacaprant dosing milestone in December 2023. None of the other BlackThorn Milestones had been achieved and no such amounts were deemed due or payable as of March 31, 2026.

Amgen Inc. Licenses

In September 2021, the Company entered into two license agreements with Amgen Inc. (“Amgen”) pursuant to which it obtained exclusive, worldwide licenses to develop, manufacture, use, commercialize and distribute products containing compounds that are directed to, in one case, CK1δ, and in the other case, glucocerebrosidase (“GCase”), both for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases (the “Amgen License Agreements”) and related know-how and clinical material (collectively, the “Amgen IPR&D Assets”). The Company accounted for these transactions as acquisitions of assets. Concurrently, the Company also executed a research collaboration agreement as well as a stock purchase agreement with Amgen. Both agreements were deemed to be separate transactions and not accounted for as part of the acquisition of assets.

The total upfront consideration transferred to Amgen of 20.0 million shares of the Company’s Series A-2 convertible preferred stock, with an acquisition date fair value of $157.0 million was allocated to the Amgen IPR&D Assets and expensed in 2021.

Under thesetwo license agreements, Amgen is eligible to receive contingent consideration up to an aggregate of $360.0 million in commercial milestone payments per product payable in cash with a compound directed to CK1δ and up to an aggregate of $360.0 million in commercial milestone payments per product payable in cash with a compound directed to GCase, in each case, upon the achievement of certain sales thresholds and single digit royalties on potential future net sales, related to CK1δ or GCase (the “Amgen Milestones”). Such contingent consideration was not subject to liability classification and/or derivative accounting and will be recognized when the contingency is resolved, and the consideration becomes payable. As of March 31, 2026, none of the Amgen Milestones had been achieved andno such amounts were deemed due or payable.

In addition, until a specified period of time following the achievement of the first successful Phase 2 clinical trial for any licensed product, if the Company chooses to sell, transfer, sublicense or divest rights to a licensed product in certain major markets, Amgen has a period of time to enter into an agreement with the Company for such rights. The Company determined that these rights of first negotiation were not freestanding instruments from the Amgen License Agreements and did not meet the definition of a derivative.

Vanderbilt License

In February 2022, the Company and Vanderbilt University (“Vanderbilt”) entered into a license agreement (the “Vanderbilt License Agreement”). Pursuant to the Vanderbilt License Agreement, as amended, the Company obtained an exclusive, worldwide royalty-bearing, sublicensable (subject to certain restrictions) license under certain patent rights and a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing, sublicensable (subject to certain restrictions) license under certain know-how covering small molecule PAMs predominantly of the M4 subtype to develop, manufacture, and commercialize products, processes and services covered by such patent rights or that incorporate or use such know-how, for any and all uses (the “Vanderbilt IPR&D Assets”). Concurrently, the Company also executed a sponsored research agreement (see Note 8) with Vanderbilt.

In May 2024, the Company and Vanderbilt entered into a second sponsored research agreement with Vanderbilt and concurrently entered into an amendment to the Vanderbilt License Agreement (the “Second Amendment to the Vanderbilt License Agreement”), to extend the rights granted to the Company under the Vanderbilt License Agreement to the data and patent rights conceived or developed by Vanderbilt in the course of carrying out the sponsored research pursuant to the second sponsored research agreement.

The licensed patent rights are subject to Vanderbilt’s right to use the patent rights for research, internal non-commercial use, and educational purposes. The Company intends to develop the PAMs for the treatment of schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric disorders. The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize licensed products, and to achieve certain development milestones.

The Company paid Vanderbilt a non-refundable, non-creditable upfront cash payment of $13.0 million for the Vanderbilt IPR&D Assets. Under the Vanderbilt License Agreement, Vanderbilt is eligible to receive contingent consideration payable in cash up to an aggregate of $42.0 million upon the achievement of specified development milestones and up to an aggregate of $380.0 million upon the achievement of commercial milestone events as well as tiered royalties at mid-single digit percentages on potential future net sales, subject to specified reductions for the lack of patent coverage, generic entry and payment obligations for third-party licenses (the “Vanderbilt Milestones”). Such contingent consideration was not subject to liability classification and/or derivative accounting and will be recognized when the contingency is resolved, and the consideration becomes payable.

Vanderbilt Milestones of $2.0 million and $5.0 million were achieved and settled in cash in October 2023 and July 2025, respectively. None of the other Vanderbilt Milestones had been achieved andno such amounts were deemed due or payable as of March 31, 2026.

In addition, the Company executed an agreement with Vanderbilt in December 2023 pursuant to which the Company licensed certain patent rights in return for a payment of $0.8 million that was recognized in acquired in-process research and developed expenses in 2023.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that may include indemnification provisions. Pursuant to such agreements, the Company may indemnify, hold harmless and defend an indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party. Some of the provisions will limit losses to those arising from third party actions. In some cases, the indemnification will continue after the termination of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these provisions is not determinable. The Company has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Company currently has directors’ and officers’ insurance.

Other Commitments

The Company has various manufacturing, clinical, research and other contracts with vendors in the conduct of the normal course of its business. Such contracts are generally terminable with advanced written notice and payment for any products or services received by the Company through the effective time of termination and any non-cancelable and non-refundable obligations incurred by the vendor at the effective time of the termination. In the case of terminating a clinical trial agreement at a particular site, the Company would also be obligated to provide continued support for appropriate medical procedures at that site until completion or termination.

  1. Strategic License and Research and Collaboration Agreements

2015 TSRI License Agreement

In connection with the acquisition of BlackThorn (see Note 6), the Company gained certain exclusive rights to intellectual property related to Kappa Opioid Receptor and V1aR Receptor Antagonist programs as well as an oxytocin receptors positive allosteric modulator program (collectively, the “TSRI Programs”) under a license agreement between BlackThorn and TSRI originally entered into in November 2015 (as amended, the “2015 TSRI License Agreement”). The technology licensed under the 2015 TSRI License Agreement is used in the Company’s navacaprant and NMRA-511 research and development programs.

Pursuant to the 2015 TSRI License Agreement, the Company is obligated, among other things, to pay TSRI (i) a nominal annual license fee due and payable on the first day of each calendar year and after the fourth anniversary creditable against any royalties due for such calendar year, (ii) development and regulatory milestone payments of up to $1.5 million in aggregate for the first product from each TSRI Program, which are contingent upon achieving specific development and regulatory milestone events, (iii) commercial milestone payments of up to $3.5 million in aggregate for each occurrence, which are contingent upon achieving specified commercialization milestone events, (iv) tiered low-single digit royalties on future net sales of each royalty-bearing product and (v) a percentage in the mid-single digits of any sublicensing revenues the Company receives. In 2023, the Phase 3 navacaprant dosing milestone was met and the Company paid $0.3 million to TSRI, which was recognized in acquired in-process research and developed expenses in 2023. None of the other milestones have been achieved andno royalties were due under the 2015 TSRI License Agreement as of March 31, 2026.

Parkinson’s Research Ventures Funding Agreement

In March 2024, the Company entered into a research funding agreement with Parkinson’s Research Ventures Limited (“PRV”), pursuant to which PRV agreed to provide the Company funding up to a total of $2.6 million in two tranches to carry out preclinical research and development activities related to the Company’s NLPR3 program.

The first tranche was due upon execution of the agreement and was received in March 2024, for $1.1 million. The Company notified PRV of a successful drug candidate nomination, the trigger for the second tranche of funding, in December 2024 and received payment of $1.5 million in January 2025.

The Company concluded the funding arrangement was an obligation to perform services and the funding received is recognized as a contra-R&D expense as project costs are incurred. The Company incurred costs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million during thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. $0.1 million of funding received net of costs incurred is reflected as deferred funding within the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Upon achievement of certain development, regulatory or commercial trigger events, the Company agreed to pay PRV in aggregate an amount equal to no more than four times the funding provided by PRV, i.e., a maximum repayment amount of up to £8.4 million. The trigger event payments meet the derivative scope exception under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, and therefore do not need to be bifurcated and separately accounted for.

The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research Funding Agreements

The Company has entered into two research funding agreements with The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research ("MJFF") to support preclinical research and development activities across its Parkinson's disease pipeline.

CK1d Program Agreement

In December 2024, the Company entered into a funding agreement pursuant to which MJFF agreed to provide funding to support the Company's CK1d program for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. The funding is payable in four equal tranches of $0.4 million each, for total funding of $1.7 million. As of March 31, 2026, $1.3 million in funding has been received with the final payment expected in August 2026. Upon achievement of certain development, regulatory, or commercial milestone events, the Company is obligated to make payments to MJFF in an aggregate amount not to exceed two times the total funding provided, representing a maximum repayment obligation of $3.3 million.

GCase Program Agreement

In October 2025, the Company entered into a funding agreement pursuant to which MJFF agreed to provide up to $3.3 million in funding, payable in two tranches, to support the Company's GCase program for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. The first tranche of $1.7 million was received in November 2025, with the second tranche of $1.6 million expected to be received in May 2026. Upon achievement of certain development, regulatory, or commercial milestone events, the Company is obligated to make payments to MJFF in an aggregate amount not to exceed two times the total funding provided, representing a maximum repayment obligation of $6.6 million.

The Company evaluated the nature of both funding arrangements and concluded that each represents an obligation to perform services rather than a contribution or loan. Accordingly, funding received under each agreement is deferred until project costs are incurred, at which point it is recognized as a reduction of research and development expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred costs of $0.4 million across the two programs. $2.2 million of aggregate funding received, net of costs incurred, is reflected as deferred funding within the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company assessed whether the contingent payment obligations under both agreements represent embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company concluded that the obligations under each agreement qualify for the derivative scope exception under ASC 815 and therefore are not required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately.

Option Repricing

On February 13, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), the Company’s Board of Directors approved an option repricing (the “Repricing”) of the outstanding stock options held by members of the Board, certain employees and other service providers, including the Company’s named executive officers, subject to shareholder approval, which was obtained at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 28,

2025(the “Modification Date”). Under the Repricing, the exercise price of each outstanding stock option under the Company’s 2023 Plan and 2020 Plan with an exercise price per share greater than $0.72 (the closing trading price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on May 28, 2025) held by those individuals eligible for the Repricing was repriced to $0.72 per share.

Under the terms of the Repricing, a repriced option will revert to its original exercise price if certain events occur prior to the 18 month anniversary of the effective date.

The Repricing resulted in $4.2 million of incremental stock compensation expense, which was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. $2.4 million of the incremental compensation cost related to unvested stock options as of the Modification Date, will be recognized on a straight line basis over the remaining requisite service period of the respective option, and $1.8 million of incremental compensation cost related to vested stock options will be recognized on a straight line basis over the remaining vesting period of the repriced options. Of the incremental compensation cost, $0.5 million was recognized in thethree months ended March 31, 2026.

Restricted Stock Activity

The Company’s Plans allow for the grant of restricted common stock and restricted stock units to certain employees, executives, non-employee scientific advisors, and third-party service providers. The restrictions lapse over time primarily according to service-based vesting conditions of each award. In the event of a voluntary or involuntary termination of the holder’s continuous provision of services to the Company, any unvested portion of the restricted stock award is automatically forfeited.

  1. Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business inone operating segment related to the development of clinical and preclinical neuroscience programs that target novel mechanisms of action for a broad range of underserved neuropsychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) serves as the CODM.

The CEO manages and allocates resources to the operations of the Company on a consolidated basis. Managing and allocating resources on a consolidated basis enables the CEO to assess the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy these resources across functions and research and development projects that are in line with the Company’s strategic goals. Consistent with this decision-making process, the CEO uses consolidated financial information for purposes of evaluating performance, cash forecasting, allocating resources and setting incentive targets. The CEO bases this assessment on the Company’s consolidated net loss. Through this analysis, the CEO assesses performance by comparing budget to actual results, and then decides how to allocate resources to invest in the Company’s research and development programs. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets.
