Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONS OLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. Organization

Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

ImageneBio, Inc. (collectively, with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutics for patients with immunological, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. The Company’s program IMG-007 is a non-depleting anti-OX40 monoclonal antibody (“mAb”) which binds specifically to OX40 receptor on activated T cells to block their binding to OX40 ligand (“OX40L”).

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, reliance on single-source suppliers, patentability of the Company’s product candidate and processes and clinical efficacy and safety of the Company’s product candidate, compliance with government regulations and the need to obtain additional financing to fund operations. IMG-007 or any product candidate the Company may develop will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive clinical trials, and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts will require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel infrastructure and extensive compliance and reporting.

There can be no assurance that any future research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained or maintained, that any product candidate developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval or that any approved products will be commercially viable. Even if any future product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate revenue from product sales. The Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change and substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 was derived from the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2026, the condensed results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are also unaudited. The condensed 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 ending December 31, 2026 or any other period. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K on file with the SEC.

Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

The Merger

On July 25, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Delaware corporation formerly known as “Ikena Oncology, Inc.” (“Ikena”) completed its previously announced merger with Inmagene Biopharmaceuticals, a privately held exempted company with limited liability incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Legacy Inmagene”). The transaction was completed in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 23, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Ikena, Insight Merger Sub I, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Ikena (“Merger Sub I”), Insight Merger Sub II, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Ikena (“Merger Sub II”), and Legacy Inmagene, providing for the merger of Merger Sub I with and into Legacy Inmagene, with Legacy Inmagene surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Ikena (such transaction, the “First Merger”), and the subsequent merger of the surviving entity of the First Merger with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Ikena (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Merger”). In addition, on July 25, 2025, Ikena changed its name from “Ikena Oncology, Inc.” to “ImageneBio, Inc.”

Prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “First Effective Time”), Ikena effected a 1-for-12 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its issued common stock (“Ikena Common Stock”). At the First Effective Time, (i) each ordinary share and preferred share of Legacy Inmagene (each such share, a “Legacy Inmagene Share”) held as treasury shares immediately prior to the First Effective Time were canceled and ceased to exist, and no consideration was delivered in exchange therefor, (ii) each then-outstanding Legacy Inmagene Share was converted into the right to receive 0.0030510 shares of Ikena Common Stock (such ratio, the “Exchange Ratio”) and (iii) each then-outstanding option to purchase Legacy Inmagene Shares was converted into an option to purchase Ikena Common Stock, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

All references to common stock, options to purchase common stock, common stock share data, per share data, preferred shares and related information contained in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of the Exchange Ratio for all periods presented, including the change from ordinary shares to common stock, unless otherwise specifically indicated or the context otherwise requires.

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. The Company determined that Legacy Inmagene was the accounting acquirer and Ikena was the accounting acquiree of the Merger in accordance with ASC Topic 805. Management concluded that Legacy Inmagene was the accounting acquirer primarily due to: (i) the Legacy Inmagene stockholders receiving the largest portion of the voting rights in the Company following the First Merger, (ii) Legacy Inmagene’s largest shareholder retained the largest interest in the Company, (iii) Legacy Inmagene designated three of the six members to the Company’s board of directors on the closing of the Merger, and (iv) certain members of Legacy Inmagene’s executive management team became the management of the Company. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the historical operations of Legacy Inmagene for accounting purposes together with the issuance of shares to the former stockholders of Ikena, the legal acquirer, and a recapitalization of the equity of Legacy Inmagene, the accounting acquirer.

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the references in these condensed consolidated financial statements to the “Company,” refer to Legacy Inmagene together with its consolidated subsidiaries for periods prior to the Merger and to ImageneBio, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries for periods following the Merger; references to “Ikena” refer to Ikena Oncology, Inc. for periods prior to the Merger; references to “Legacy Inmagene” refer to Inmagene Biopharmaceuticals together with its consolidated subsidiaries for periods prior to the Merger; and references to “common stock” include the Company’s common stock for periods following the Merger and to Legacy Inmagene’s ordinary shares for periods prior to the Merger.

2025 PIPE Financing

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Ikena entered into subscription agreements with certain accredited investors (the “2025 PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which, immediately following the closing of the Second Merger, the 2025 PIPE Investors subscribed for and purchased, and Ikena issued and sold, an aggregate of 2,508,337 shares of common stock in a private placement at a price of $29.90 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $75.0 million (the “2025 PIPE Financing”).

CVR Agreements

Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, Ikena and the designated rights agent entered into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the “Ikena CVR Agreement”), pursuant to which Ikena stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 24, 2025 received one contingent value right (each, an “Ikena CVR”) for each outstanding share of Ikena Common Stock held by such stockholder on such date.

Pursuant to the Ikena CVR Agreement, each Ikena CVR holder will be entitled to certain rights to receive (i)100% of the net proceeds, if any, received by the Company as a result of contingent payments (“Ikena CVR Payments”) made to the Company, such as milestone, royalty or earnout payments, received under any disposition agreements related to Ikena’s pre-Merger assets, including but not limited to IK-595 (the “Ikena CVR Assets”), including pursuant to any out-license agreements, entered into prior to the Closing Date and (ii)90% of the net proceeds, if any, received by the Company as a result of Ikena CVR Payments received under any disposition agreements related to the Ikena CVR Assets entered into after the Closing Date and prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Disposition Period”). Such proceeds are subject to certain permitted deductions, including for applicable tax payments, certain expenses incurred by the Company or its affiliates, and losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Company or its affiliates due to a third-party proceeding in connection with a disposition and certain wind-down costs. The Company has not entered into any transactions subject to the Ikena CVR Agreement. No estimated value has been attributed to the agreement for the periods presented.

Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, Ikena, Legacy Inmagene and the designated rights agent entered into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the “Legacy Inmagene CVR Agreement”), pursuant to which Legacy Inmagene’s shareholders of record as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time received one contingent value right (each, a “Legacy Inmagene CVR”) for each outstanding Legacy Inmagene Share held by such shareholder on such date. Pursuant to the Legacy Inmagene CVR Agreement, each Legacy Inmagene CVR holder will be entitled to certain rights to receive (i)100% of the net proceeds, if any, received by the Company as a result of contingent payments (“Legacy Inmagene CVR Payments”) made to the Company under any disposition agreement related to the programs and projects controlled by Legacy Inmagene any time prior to the Closing Date (other than its anti-OX40 monoclonal antibody asset, IMG-007) (the “Legacy Inmagene CVR Assets”), which agreement is entered into prior to the Closing Date and (ii)90% of the net proceeds, if any, received by the Company as a result of Legacy Inmagene CVR Payments received under any disposition agreement related to the Legacy Inmagene CVR Assets entered into during the Disposition Period. Such proceeds are subject to certain permitted deductions, including for applicable tax payments, certain expenses incurred by the Company or its affiliates, and losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Company or its affiliates due to a third-party proceeding in connection with a disposition.

Non-OX40 Divestiture

On July 25, 2025, immediately prior to consummation of the Merger, Legacy Inmagene completed the divestiture of the non-IMG-007 business related assets, business and operations (the “Non-OX40 Business”) controlled by Legacy Inmagene immediately prior to the Merger (the “Non-OX40 Divestiture”). Specifically, Legacy Inmagene sold and transferred (including via sublicense) all of the Non-OX40 Business to Miragene Inc, a newly formed private company and wholly owned subsidiary of Legacy Inmagene (“Miragene”).

As part of the Non-OX40 Divestiture, Miragene Co, a newly formed private company (“BuyCo”), held by the holders of Legacy Inmagene’s outstanding shares prior to the Merger, purchased from Legacy Inmagene all of the outstanding share capital of Miragene (holding the Non-OX40 Business) in exchange for a promissory note in the amount of $8.9 million issued by BuyCo to Legacy Inmagene (the “Promissory Note”). BuyCo has been identified as a related party to the Company as there are shareholders in common and the Miragene CEO is a member of the Company's board of directors.

As a result of the Non-OX40 Divestiture, IMG-007, a non-depleting anti-OX40 monoclonal antibody, for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and other potential indications, became the only product candidate of the Company in clinical development.

The Non-OX40 Divestiture resulted in Legacy Inmagene’s recognition of $1.5 million within additional paid-in capital, comprised of ($5.2) million in net assets, consisting of $5.2 million in cash transferred to BuyCo for outstanding liabilities associated with the Non-OX40 Business and other insignificant operating assets and liabilities, offset by the initial fair value of the promissory note of $6.7 million during 2025. The Non-OX40 Divestiture represents a transaction between entities with a high degree of common ownership, and therefore, was accounted for like a common control transaction. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities transferred were derecognized at their historical carrying values, and the estimated fair value of promissory note receivable was recognized, with any difference recorded in equity. No gain or loss was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in connection with this transaction. In addition, the initial estimated fair value of the corresponding Legacy Inmagene CVR liability was recorded as a dividend to the Legacy Inmagene shareholders within equity, with the related payable recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

Transition Services Agreement

In connection with the Non-OX40 Divestiture, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) with Miragene for the provision by Miragene of certain transitional services related to the ongoing operations of the Company’s business with respect to the IMG-007 program (see Note 7).

Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company expects to continue to incur losses as it invests in research and development activities to advance its existing and potential future research programs and incurs ongoing costs associated with operating as a public company. Even if the Company’s development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales. If the Company obtains regulatory approval for its product candidate or any future product candidates and starts to generate revenue, it expects to incur significant expenses related to developing its internal commercialization capability to support product sales, marketing, and distribution. The Company incurred a net loss of$10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and has an accumulated deficit of$240.7 million as of March 31, 2026. The Company believes its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of$117.2 million as of March 31, 2026, together with $30.0 millionof gross proceeds received in April 2026 from a private placementof pre-funded warrants (see Note 12), are sufficient to support operations through at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company will need substantial additional funding to support its operating activities as it advances its product candidate or any future product candidates through development, seeks regulatory approval and prepares for and, if its product candidate or any future product candidates are approved, proceeds to commercialization. Until such time as the Company can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, the Company expects to finance its operating activities through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings and license and collaboration agreements. Adequate funding may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all.

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’scondensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, accrued research and development expenses, stock-based compensation and the fair value of the Promissory Note receivable and related CVR liability. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates as there are changes in facts, circumstances, and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On July 30, 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05 Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides guidance for estimating credit losses under the current expected credit losses (CECL) model for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and is required to be adopted prospectively. The Company adopted ASU No. 2025-05 during the first quarter of 2026 and the adoption didnot have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)and provided a clarifying update in January 2025. The amendments increase disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization) in commonly presented expense captions. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and is required to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the disclosures on its consolidated financial statements.

  1. Reverse Recapitalization

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. At the effective time of the Merger, the assets of Ikena primarily consisted of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, as well as other nominal assets, including prepaid expenses and other current assets, operating lease right-of-use assets, and other non-current assets. Ikena did not have significant operating activities immediately prior to the closing of the Merger. Under such reverse recapitalization accounting, the assets and liabilities of Ikena were recorded at their fair value in the Company’s financial statements at the effective time of the reverse recapitalization, which approximated carrying value. No goodwill or intangible assets were recognized as a result of the reverse recapitalization.

On July 25, 2025, Legacy Inmagene acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities listed belowas part of the reverse recapitalization (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents$54,631
Marketable securities40,060
Prepaid expenses and other current assets2,875
Operating lease right-of-use assets, net2,428
Other non-current assets2,666
Accounts payable(1,808)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities(11,367)
Lease liabilities, current and non-current(5,359)
Other non-current liabilities(1,092)
Net assets acquired$83,034

Legacy Inmagene incurred transaction costs related to the reverse recapitalization of $9.3 million. This amount was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital during the third quarter of 2025.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level of the fair value hierarchy utilized to determine such fair values (in thousands):

Liabilities:

Money market funds are valued based on quoted market prices, representing a Level 1 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. Corporate debt securities are valued using a market approach based on prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving similar instruments. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services, which use observable inputs including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker quotes, benchmark securities, and other market-related data. As the valuations are based on observable market inputs for similar instruments, rather than quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, these securities are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company elected the fair value option and accordingly recorded the Promissory Note receivable at fair value at inception date (July 25, 2025) and each period end, with changes recorded within other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company believes the fair value option best reflects the economics of the underlying transaction. The Company’s Promissory Note receivable is valued on a recurring basis using a probability weighted expected future payout discounted by applicable market yield of 15.8% and 15.2% as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, which are Level 3 inputs.

The Company recorded a corresponding CVR liability in connection with the Promissory Note receivable, with the carrying amount equal to the fair value at inception and each period end, with changes recorded within other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The CVR liability and the Promissory Note have offsetting adjustments resulting from the change of their respective fair values as any payments received by the Company under the Promissory Note from BuyCo will be distributed to Legacy Inmagene CVR holders as Legacy Inmagene CVR Payments. No cash payments were made for the Promissory Note receivable or the corresponding CVR liability for the periods presented.

The following table presents the changes in fair value of the Promissory Note receivable and the corresponding CVR liability during thethree months ended March 31, 2026 (in thousands):

  1. Related Party Transactions

Promissory Note Receivable and CVR Liability

As discussed in Note 1, as part of the Non-OX40 Divestiture in 2025, BuyCo issued a Promissory Note to Legacy Inmagene in the amount of $8.9 million. The Promissory Note accrues interest at an annual rate of 4.61%, with interest payments due monthly in arrears, unless BuyCo elects to capitalize the interest through payment-in-kind (PIK) treatment during the term of the Promissory Note. No interest was received pursuant to the Promissory Note Receivable through March 31, 2026. The Promissory Note matures on the earlier of (i) the year 2035 or (ii) the date on which Legacy Inmagene declares the Promissory Note due and payable on or after the occurrence of an event of default. Additionally, in the event that BuyCo receives certain specified milestone or license payments, after the second anniversary of the Promissory Note,50% of such proceeds must be used to prepay the outstanding balance of the Promissory Note. Any payments received by the Company under the Promissory Note from BuyCo will be distributed to Legacy Inmagene CVR holders as Legacy Inmagene CVR Payments. The Promissory Note receivable is recorded at fair value at each period end (see Note 4).

Transition Services Agreement

In connection with the Non-OX40 Divestiture, the Company entered into the Transition Services Agreement on July 25, 2025 with Miragene for the provision by Miragene of certain transitional services related to the ongoing operations of the Company’s business with respect to the IMG-007 program, which may include services related to chemistry, manufacturing and controls, regulatory affairs, clinical trial support and operations, translational science research and support, bioanalysis, pharmacovigilance (collectively, the “Miragene Services”).

The initial term of the Transition Services Agreement wassix months (the “Initial Term”), with an automatic six-month renewal provision unless written notice was provided. In addition, the Company could extend the Initial Term with respect to any or all of the Miragene Services for up to an additional 12 months upon 60 days’ prior written notice prior to the end of the Initial Term. The Transition Services Agreement may be terminated after the Initial Term by either party upon 60 days’ prior written notice or by Miragene after the completion by the Company of the sale or other disposition of any portion of the Company’s business, assets or properties constituting all or a majority of the IMG-007 Business (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement). On October 23, 2025, the Company provided written notice to Miragene of its election to (i) not have the Transition Services Agreement automatically renew and (ii) extend the term for an additionalsix months following the end of the initial term for a subset of the Miragene Services, including services related to chemistry, manufacturing and controls, translational sciences research and support.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded research and development expense of $0.3 million and general and administrative expense of less than $0.1 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and paid $0.2 million to Miragene for services under the Transition Services Agreement. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had prepaid expenses of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to prepayments made under the Transition Services Agreement.

Reimbursement of Research and Development Expenses

Since July 25, 2025, the Company received reimbursement of expenses incurred for agreed upon research and development activities from a related party, where one of the Company’s board members is a partner. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded less than $0.1 million as an offset to research and development expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, which amount was included as a receivable in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, $0.5 million was included as a receivable in prepaid expenses and other current assets, which amount was received by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

  1. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”) in connection with the Merger, which was approved by Ikena’s stockholders at its annual meeting of its stockholders on July 15, 2025 and became effective on the date immediately following the consummation of the Merger. As of the effective time of the 2025 Plan, there were 1,118,167 shares of common stock available for grant under the 2025 Plan. In addition, the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2025 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year for a period of 10 years, commencing on January 1, 2026 and ending on January 1, 2035, in an amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding on the last day of the calendar month before the date of each automatic increase, or a lesser number of shares determined by the Company’sboard of directors. The 2025 Plan is a successor to and continuation of Ikena’s 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2021 Plan”). In addition, the Company assumed, effective as of the closing of the Merger, the Legacy Inmagene 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). Upon adoption of the 2025 Plan, no further grants will be made under the 2021 Plan or the 2019 Plan.

The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2025 Plan was increased by 559,081 shares effective January 1, 2026 in accordance with the provisions of the 2025 Plan. As of March 31, 2026,761,313 shares remain available for issuance under the 2025 Plan.

In July 2025, the Company’s board of directors adopted and approved the 2025 Inducement Plan (the “Inducement Plan”) to reserve 589,585 shares of common stock to be used exclusively for grants of equity awards to individuals that were not previously employees or directors of the Company (or who are returning to employment following a bona fide period of non-employment), as an inducement material to the individual’s entry into employment with the Company, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The Inducement Plan was adopted and approved without stockholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). On December 18, 2025, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment to the Inducement Plan to increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable thereunder to 1,589,585 shares of common stock.

Leases

There have been no material changes to the Company’s lease agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2026. For additional information on the Company's operating leases, see Note 8, Leases, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies

In connection with the merger, two actions were filed against the Company and its board of directors in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, County of New York, captioned Smith v. Ikena Oncology, Inc., et al., No. 653576/2025 (filed June 12, 2025) and Kent v. Ikena Oncology, Inc., et al., No. 653588/2025 (filed June 13, 2025) (collectively, the “Complaints”). The Complaints allege that the defendants filed or caused to be filed a materially incomplete and misleading registration statement with the SEC and asserts claims under New York common law for negligent misrepresentation and concealment and negligence. In addition, the Company and its board of directors have received five additional demands from purported stockholders seeking additional disclosures in the registration statement (collectively, the “Demands”). On February 27, 2026, the Complaints were voluntarily dismissed and the Company has received no additional outreach from the purported stockholders who sent the Demands.

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

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. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and executive officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnification provisions. The Company is not currently aware of any indemnification claims and hasnot accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026.

Licensing Agreements with Hutchmed Limited

Upon consummation of the Merger in July 2025, the Company became the successor of the Collaboration, Option and License Agreement, as amended (the “Hutchmed Agreement”) between Legacy Inmagene and HUTCHMED Limited (formerly known as Hutchinson Medipharma Limited) (“Hutchmed”). In April 2023, Legacy Inmagene entered into an amendment to the Hutchmed Agreement which terminated portions of the Hutchmed Agreement related to one of the compounds, and extended Legacy Inmagene’s deadline for License Option exercise by an additional year to allow time for additional research to be performed on two of the remaining targets. On October 16, 2023, Legacy Inmagene exercised the License Option for (a) anti-OX40 mAb, and (b) the BTK (Bruton tyrosine kinase) inhibiter (each a “Licensed Compound”). Upon exercise of the License Option, Legacy Inmagene acquired an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers, under certain patents and know-how controlled by Hutchmed and Hutchmed’s right, title and interest in the joint intellectual property to develop, manufacture and commercialize any product that contains, incorporates, or otherwise includes the Licensed Compound (the “Licensed Products”).

Hutchmed is eligible to receive up to $92.5 million for each Licensed Product upon the achievement of various development and regulatory milestones. Additionally, Hutchmed is eligible to receive up to $135.0 million for each Licensed Compound upon the achievement of various worldwide aggregate cumulative net sales milestones for the Licensed Products that contain such Licensed Compound and tiered royalty rates in the high-single-digit to low-tens percentages on a Licensed Compound-by-Licensed Compound basis for net sales of such Licensed Compounds worldwide, subject to reduction in certain circumstances. None of the payments under the Hutchmed Agreement are refundable. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has not met any of the milestones.

In connection with the Non-OX40 Divestiture, the BTK inhibiter program was sold to the BuyCo. The Company continues to actively develop the anti-OX40 mAb program.

Legacy Collaborative Arrangements

Other collaboration agreements and programs that Legacy Inmagene was a party to were divested in connection with the Non-OX40 Divestiture as described in Note 1 and the Company has no further obligations under such agreements.

  1. Net Loss per Share

The Company recast its basic and diluted earnings per share computation for the three months ended March 31, 2025 for the effect of the exchange ratio of 0.0030510 resulting from the close of the Merger on July 25, 2025.

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was calculated as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

Three Months Ended March 31,
20262025
Numerator:
Net loss$(10,619)$(6,077)
Less: accretion of redeemable convertible preferred shares—(3,051)
Net loss attributable to common stockholders - basic and diluted$(10,619)$(9,128)
Denominator:
Weighted-average common stock outstanding11,211,2681,409,963
Weighted-average Series A convertible preferred outstanding—994,869
Total weighted-average shares outstanding11,211,2682,404,832
Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders - basic and diluted$(0.95)$(3.80)

For purposes of calculating net loss per share, the Company considered the Legacy Inmagene Series A Convertible Preferred Shares to represent a class of common stock. As a result, basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders include Legacy Inmagene Series A Convertible Preferred Shares for the periods such shares were outstanding.

The following shares of potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of period end were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because their effect would have been anti-dilutive:

Options to purchase common stock1,218,418483,815
Unvested restricted stock units652,517—
Redeemable convertible preferred shares (as converted to ordinary shares)—2,163,457
Total potentially dilutive shares1,870,9352,647,272
  1. Segment Information

The Company operates and manages its business as asingle operating and reportable segment for the purpose of assessing performance and making operating decisions. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group (the “CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’schief executive officer, who is the CODM, reviews the Company’s financial information on an aggregated basis for purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources. The CODM assesses operating performance as compared to planned activities for the operating segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss that also is reported on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

  1. Subsequent Events

Securities Purchase Agreement

On April 12, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of voting common stock (such shares subject to the pre-funded warrants, the “Warrant Shares”), in a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement”).

The closing of the Private Placement occurred on April 14, 2026 (the “Closing”). At the Closing, the Company issued and sold pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 5,770,335 Warrant Shares at a purchase price of $5.199 per Warrant Share to the Investors, for gross proceeds to the Company of $30.0 million pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

The pre-funded warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per Warrant Share, subject to customary adjustments, and are exercisable at any time after original issuance and will not expire until exercised in full. The pre-funded warrants are also exercisable on a net exercise “cashless” basis. The pre-funded warrants may not be exercised if the aggregate number of shares of voting common stock beneficially owned by the holder thereof immediately following such exercise would exceed a specified beneficial ownership limitation, not to exceed 19.99%.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare and file, within three business days following August 1, 2026, subject to certain allowable delays, a registration statement with the SEC to register for resale the Warrant Shares, and generally to cause the applicable registration statement to promptly become effective. Certain cash penalties will apply to the Company in the event of registration failures, as described in the Registration Rights Agreement.
