Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Notes to condensed consolidated FINANCIAL statements (Unaudited)

(1) Nature of Business and Liquidity

SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SAB”, “SAB Biotherapeutics” or “SAB BIO”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing multi-specific, high-potency, human immunoglobulin G (hIgG) to treat and prevent immune and autoimmune disorders. Using advanced genetic engineering and antibody science, SAB BIO developed a proprietary technology which holds the potential to generate additional novel therapeutic candidates utilizing the human immune response, without the need for human donors or convalescent plasma. SAB BIO has optimized genetic engineering in the development of transchromosomic cattle, or Tc-Bovine, to produce hIgG. SAB BIO's drug development production system is able to generate a diverse repertoire of specifically targeted, high-potency, hIgGs that can address a wide range of serious unmet needs in human diseases. The Company's lead candidate, SAB-142, targets autoimmune type 1 diabetes (“T1D”) with a disease-modifying therapeutic approach that aims to change the T1D treatment paradigm by delaying onset and potentially preventing disease progression of Stage 3 T1D patients. SAB-142 is currently being evaluated in newly diagnosed Stage 3 autoimmune T1D patients in a registrational Phase 2b clinical trial called SAFEGUARD.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of$152.3 million. The Company anticipates that it will continue to generate losses for the foreseeable future and expects the losses to increase as the Company funds product development, regulatory approval efforts, clinical trials, and commercial readiness activities, and will require additional capital to support its long-term plans.

Based on the Company’s current level of operating expenses, existing resources will be sufficient to cover operating cash needs through at least the twelve months following the date of this report. In the future, the Company may seek additional funding through a combination of equity or debt financings, or other third-party financing, collaborative or other funding arrangements.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements is set forth below.

Basis of presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial statements. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management without audit and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations and other comprehensive loss and consolidated cash flows, for the periods indicated, have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of operating results that may be achieved over the course of the full year.

Emerging growth company status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, SAB Sciences, Inc., Diversity Therapeutics, Inc., SAB LLC, SAB Capra, LLC, Aurochs, LLC, and SAB BIO PTY LTD (“SAB Australia”). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Significant risks and uncertainties

The Company’s operations are subject to a number of factors that can affect its operating results and financial condition. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the results of research and development efforts, clinical trial activities of the Company’s product candidates, the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval to market its product candidates, competition from products manufactured and sold or being developed by other companies, and the Company’s ability to raise capital.

The Company currently has no commercially approved products and there can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully commercialized. Developing and commercializing a product requires significant time and capital and is subject to regulatory review and approval as well as competition from other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change and is dependent upon the continued services of its key employees and obtaining and protecting intellectual property.

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 of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements. The Company has used significant estimates in its determination of stock-based compensation assumptions, determination of the fair value of the Private Placement Warrant liabilities, determination of the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) used in the calculation of the Company’s right of use assets and lease liabilities, estimation of clinical and other accruals and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Actual amounts realized may differ from these estimates.

Fair Value Measurements

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 on the measurement date. The following fair value hierarchy classifies the inputs to valuation techniques that would be used to measure fair value into one of three levels:

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

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for 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 reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

Certain of the Company’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of their maturities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

The Company accounts for warrants to purchase its common stock par value of $0.0001 per share (its “common stock”) pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 470, Debt(“ASC 470”), and ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and classifies warrants for common stock as liabilities or equity. The warrants classified as liabilities are reported at their estimated fair value (see Note 11, Fair Value Measurements) and any changes in fair value are reflected in other income (expense). The warrants classified as equity are reported at their estimated relative fair value with no subsequent remeasurement. The Company’s outstanding warrants are discussed in more detail in Note 10, Warrants.

Deferred Issuance Costs

The Company capitalizes certain legal, professional accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity financings as deferred issuance costs until such financings are consummated. After consummation of the equity financing, these costs are recorded in shareholders’ equity as a reduction of additional paid-in capital generated as a result of the issuance.

The Company didnot have any deferred issuance costs as of June 30, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $0.2 million of deferred issuance costs, related to the Company’s sales agreement with UBS Securities LLC. The sales agreement is discussed further in Note 8, Stockholders’ Equity.

Short-term and long-term investments

The Company accounts for investments in accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each reporting period.

At June 30, 2026, the Company’s short-term and long-term investments consisted of U.S. treasury securities with original maturity exceeding 90 days, and investments in exchange traded mutual funds. The Company classifies these securities as current and non-current. The Company considers all of its securities for which there is a determinable fair market value, and there are no restrictions on the Company’s ability to sell within the next twelve months, as available-for-sale securities.

The Company recognizes the change in fair value of available-for-sale equity securities within other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and available-for-sale debt securities are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company reviews its investments at each reporting date to identify and evaluate whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of available-for-sale debt securities is due to credit-related factors and determines if such unrealized losses are the result of credit losses that require impairment. The Company records an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities when a decline in fair value is determined to be credit-related, rather than recording a direct write-down of the investment's amortized cost. Factors considered in determining whether an unrealized loss is the result of credit-related factors include the extent to which the fair value is less than the cost basis, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, any historical failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments, any adverse legal or regulatory events affecting the issuer or issuer’s industry, any significant deterioration in economic condition and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

The Company didnot recognize any credit losses on its short-term and long-term investments during thethree and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Concentration of credit risk

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalent balances in the form of business checking accounts and money market accounts, the balances of which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Although the Company currently believes that the financial institutions with whom it does business will be able to fulfill their commitments to the Company, there is no assurance that those institutions will be able to continue to do so. The Company has not experienced any credit losses associated with its balances in such accounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Lease liabilities and right-of-use assets

The Company is party to certain contractual arrangements for equipment, lab space, and an animal facility, which meet the definition of leases under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 842, Leases(“ASC 842”). In accordance with ASC 842, the Company recorded right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities for the present value of the lease payments over the lease terms. The Company’s IBR was used in the calculation of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

The Company elected not to apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term leases, which are deemed to be leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Instead, the Company recognizes lease payments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable payments in the period in which the obligation for these payments was incurred. The Company elected this policy for all classes of underlying assets.

Research and development expenses

Expenses incurred in connection with research and development activities are expensed as incurred. These include fees paid to consultants and various entities that perform certain research and testing on behalf of the Company, and expenses related to animal care, research-use equipment depreciation, salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation granted to employees in research and development functions.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company had contracts with multiple contract research organizations (“CRO”) to complete studies as part of research grant agreements. These costs include upfront, milestone and monthly expenses as well as reimbursement for pass through costs. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred except when the Company is accounting for refundable advance payments for goods or services to be used in future research and development activities. In these cases, these payments are capitalized at the time of payment and expensed in the period the research and development activity is performed. As actual costs become known, the Company will adjust the accrual; such changes in estimate may result in material changes in the Company’s clinical study accrual, which could also materially affect reported results of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were no material adjustments to the Company’s prior period estimates of accrued expenses for clinical trials.

Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company records property, plant, and equipment at cost less depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives. Repairs and maintenance expenses are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets, including the related useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. If necessary, the Company compares the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows to the related asset’s carrying value to determine whether there has been an impairment. If an asset is considered impaired, the asset is written down to fair value, which is based either on discounted cash flows or appraised values in the period the impairment becomes known. The Company believes that long-lived assets are recoverable, andno impairment was deemed necessary, during thethree and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Stock-based compensation

FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation– Stock Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee and non-employee services are acquired. The Company recognizes compensation cost relating to stock-based payment transactions using a fair-value measurement method, which requires all stock-based payments to employees, directors, and non-employee consultants, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in operating results as compensation expense based on fair value over the requisite service period of the awards. The Company determines the fair value of common stock based on the closing market price on the date of the grant.

In determining the fair value of stock-based awards, the Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which uses both historical and current market data to estimate fair value. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model incorporates various assumptions, such as the value of the underlying common stock, the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected dividend yield, and expected life of the options. For awards with performance-based vesting criteria, the Company estimates the probability of achievement of the performance criteria and recognizes compensation expense related to those awards expected to vest. No awards may have a term in excess often years. Forfeitures are recorded when they occur. Stock-based compensation expense is classified in the condensed consolidated statements of operations based on the function to which the related services are provided. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period.

The expected term of the stock options was estimated using the “simplified” method, as defined by the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment. The volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatilities for industry peer companies, as the Company does not have sufficient trading history for its common stock. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments whose term was consistent with the expected term of the options. The dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company has assumed no dividend yield for purposes of estimating the fair value of the options.

Income taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods when the temporary differences will affect taxable income. When necessary, deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, to reflect realizable value, and all deferred tax balances are reported as long-term on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accruals are maintained for uncertain tax positions, as necessary.

The Company uses a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The Company has elected to treat interest and penalties related to income taxes, to the extent they arise, as a component of income taxes.

The Company maintains a 100% valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. The Company has not recognized any reserves for uncertain tax positions.

Earnings per share

In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share(“ASC 260”), basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the diluted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding for the period including potential dilutive common shares such as stock options and convertible preferred stock. See Note 4, Earnings per share, for further details.

Segment reporting

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company’s business activities are organized intoone reportable segment, as only the Company’s operating results in their entirety are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated and to assess performance.

Australian Research and Development Tax Credit

In June 2023, the Company formed a new subsidiary in Australia, SAB Australia, a proprietary limited company, primarily to conduct preclinical and clinical activities for product candidates. SAB Australia's research and development activities qualify for the Australian government's tax credit program, which provides a 48.5% credit for qualifying research and development expenses. The research and development incentive is one of the key elements of the Australian Government's support for Australia's innovation system and is supported by legislative law primarily in the form of the Australian Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, as long as eligibility criteria are met. Under the program, a percentage of eligible research and development expenses incurred by the Company through SAB Australia are reimbursed.

The Company recognizes other income from the Australian research and development incentive when there is reasonable assurance that the income will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred, and the consideration can be reliably measured. Management has assessed the Company's research and development activities and expenditures to determine which are likely to be eligible under the research and development incentive regime described above. At each period end, management estimates the refundable tax offset available to the Company based on available information at the time, which is included in other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company recognized$0.2 million and$0.3 million, and$0.3 million and$0.8 million, in tax credit income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

(3) New accounting standards

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220)”. ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure in the notes to financial statements of specified information about certain expenses such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation and other expenses which are presented in the face of the income statement within continuing operations. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software ("ASU 2025-06") and is effective January 1, 2028 with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-06 modernizes the accounting for internal use software costs and requires entities to start capitalizing eligible costs when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The guidance can be applied on a prospective basis, a modified basis for in-process projects, or a retrospective basis. The Company is still assessing the impact of adopting this standard.

(4) Earnings per share

Since the Company reported a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, it was required by ASC 260 to use basic weighted-average shares outstanding when calculating diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, as the potential dilutive securities are anti-dilutive.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

For The Three Months Ended June 30,For The Six Months Ended June 30,
2026202520262025
Calculation of basic loss per share attributable to the Company’s shareholders
Net loss attributable to common stockholders(22,491)(10,114)(41,360)(15,311)
Weighted-average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted79,753,1009,294,46966,768,3099,293,018
Earnings per share - basic and diluted$(0.28)$(1.09)$(0.62)$(1.65)

Included within weighted average common shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2026, are 2,753,246 common shares issuable upon the exercise of pre-funded warrants, as the warrants are exercisable at any time for nominal consideration, and, as such, the shares are considered outstanding for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders.

The Company’s other potentially dilutive securities, which include stock options, restricted stock awards, common stock warrants, common stock underlying preferred stock warrants, earnout shares, and contingently issuable earnout shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. The Company excluded the following potential common shares, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

For The Six Months Ended June 30,

In June 2026, the Company purchased unimproved land and began construction of a second farm facility in South Dakota to increase manufacturing capacity and establish a redundant herd to support long-term commercial supply for SAB-142.

(6) Leases

Operating Leases

The Company has an operating lease for lab space from Sanford Health, that started in June 2014 and initially ended in June 2019, at which time the lease was extended through August 2024. This lease was renewed in January 2025 and amended in April 2026 to reduce the leased space, and has afive-year-term ending on December 31, 2029.

The Company entered into a lease for office, laboratory, and warehouse space in November 2020, as amended in July 2022, and renewed in November 2023. This renewed lease has a 3-year term, with options to extend for 3 additional periods of 3 years each. The options were not included in the right of use calculation as it was unclear as to whether or not the location will meet the Company’s requirements beyond the next three years.

The Company entered into a lease for office space in Miami Beach, Florida in April 2024. In September 2025, the Company terminated this lease and entered into a new lease for expanded space. The new lease commenced in January 2026 with afive-year term.

Finance Leases

In December 2018, the Company entered into a finance lease with Dakota Ag Properties for a new animal facility which includes the surrounding land. The facility and the land have been accounted for as separate lease components. The lease is based upon payback of

$4.0 million in construction costs, with a 20-year term at an interest rate of 8%. The Company has the option to purchase the asset at any time during the term of the lease for the balance of the unamortized lease payments.

The lease agreements do not require material variable lease payments, residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

The Company’s weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate for operating and finance leases as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are:

Following the requisite approval on September 26, 2025, the change in fair value of $62.0 million was recorded as other income.

There were 20,100 Enrollment Date Warrants and 2,000 Release Date Warrants exercised during thesix months ended June 30, 2026. There wereno Enrollment Date Warrants or Release Date Warrants exercised during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Presentation and Valuation of the Warrants

Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants

The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity and were presented within warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Changes in fair value are recognized within changes in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

The Company established the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants utilizing both the Black-Scholes Merton formula and a Monte Carlo Simulation (the “MCS”) analysis. Specifically, the Company considered an MCS to derive the implied volatility in the publicly-listed price of the Public Warrants. The Company then considered this implied volatility in selecting the volatility for the application of a Black-Scholes Merton model for the Private Placement Warrants. The Company determined the fair value of the Public Warrants by reference to the quoted market price.

The Public Warrants were classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement, due to the use of the quoted market price, and the Private Placement Warrants held privately by assignees of Big Cypress Holdings LLC, were classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement, due to the use of unobservable inputs. See Note 11, Fair Value Measurements, for changes in fair value of the Private Placement Warrants.

The key inputs into the valuations as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, were as follows:

Derivative-liability classification is required because, upon a fundamental transaction, the Company would be obligated to repurchase all outstanding Series A Preferred Warrants for cash equal to the Black-Scholes value of the unexercised portion of each warrant. Changes in fair value are recognized within changes in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

The Series A Preferred Warrants were classified as Level 3 fair value measurements, due to the use of unobservable inputs. See Note 11, Fair Value Measurements, for changes in fair value of the Preferred Warrants.

The key inputs utilized in determining the fair value of each Preferred Tranche C Warrant as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, were as follows:

The unrealized losses on the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were caused by fluctuations in market value and interest rates as a result of the economic environment. The Company concluded that an allowance for credit losses was unnecessary as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 because the decline in the market value was attributable to changes in market conditions and not credit quality, and that it is neither management’s intention to sell nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these investments prior to recovery.
