Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. The Companyand Basis of Presentation
Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc. (“the Company”) is a public company incorporated in Delaware. The Company is a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to developing therapies that address the complex needs of individuals affected by neuropsychiatric disorders. Neuphoria's lead drug candidate, BNC210, an oral, proprietary, selective negative allosteric modulator of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder ("PTSD"). BNC210 is a first-of-its-kind, broad spectrum anti-anxiety experimental therapeutic, designed to restore neurotransmitter balance in relevant brain areas, providing rapid relief from stress and anxiety symptoms without the common pitfalls of sedation, cognitive impairment, or addiction.
All references to “$” and “US$” in this Annual Report mean U.S. dollars. All references to “A$” in this Annual Report mean Australian dollars.
Details of the Company’s entity structure at the end of the reporting period are as follows:
| Name | Entity | Country of Incorporation |
|---|---|---|
| Neuphoria Therapeutics, Inc. | Parent | United States |
| Bionomics Limited | Subsidiary | Australia |
| Bionomics, Inc. | Subsidiary | United States |
Restructuring Costs
On October 20, 2025, the Company announced that the AFFIRM-1 Phase 3 trial of BNC210 for the acute treatment of social anxiety disorder did not meet its primary endpoint. Based on these results, the Company announced that it has discontinued the BNC210 SAD program and has paused the BNC210 PTSD program while it continues to undertake a comprehensive strategic review of its operations and portfolio. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2026, the Company terminated all but one employee, terminated its facility leases, and cancelled or paused, as applicable, its research and development activities while it seeks to identify a partner with which to execute a strategic merger and/or such other transaction(s), if any, for the benefit of existing shareholders of Neuphoria. See Note 3 for more information.
Liquidity and Going Concern
Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses and expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had working capital of $20.3 million, an accumulated deficit of $191.8 million, and cash and cash equivalents of $19.9 million. The Company has not generated any product revenues and has not achieved profitable operations. There is no assurance that profitable operations will ever be achieved, and, if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. In addition, development activities, clinical and non-clinical testing, and commercialization of the Company’s products will require significant additional financing.
In accordance with ASC 205-40, Going Concern, the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company incurred net losses of $13.5 million and $0.4 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company also used $12.4 million of cash in operating activities during the twelve months ended June 30, 2026.
Based upon the Company’s current operating plans, reflective of recent cost curtailments, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to continue funding its operating activities beyond the second quarter of fiscal year 2028, which is more than twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued. Consequently, management has determined there is no substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve month period from the date these financial statements are issued.
Although the Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund operations beyond the assessment period and it has been successful in raising capital in the past, there is no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining such additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, nor is it considered probable under the accounting standards. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient funding on acceptable terms, it could be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate some or all its research and development programs or commercialization activities, which could materially adversely affect its business prospects or its ability to continue operations.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) and include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of revenue, expenses, and certain assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. Such estimates include the performance obligations under the Company’s license agreements, the collectability of receivables, valuation of goodwill and intangibles, accruals, and determining the fair value of contingent consideration and the warrant liability. Actual results may differ from such estimates.
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The CODM of the Company is the Interim Chief Executive Officer. The Company operates as asingle operating and reporting segment focused on the discovery and development of allosteric ion channel modulators designed to transform the lives of patients suffering from serious central nervous system disorders with high unmet medical need. The CODM evaluates the operating performance based on net income (loss) as reported on the consolidated statement of operations. The measure of the operating segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total assets.
Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less.
The Company separately classified $0.1 million of its cash as restricted cash in current assets at June 30, 2025. The underlying facility lease expired during the year ended June 30, 2026, according to its terms, resulting inno funds being held as restricted cash on that date. The previously restricted amounts represented the security deposit associated with the Company’s previous Australian facility.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are held by financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. Amounts on deposit may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents or restricted cash and its accounts are monitored by management to mitigate risk. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions holding its cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, and bond issuers.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The accounting standards define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and require disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact are considered along with assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. The accounting standard for fair value establishes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, the first two of which are considered observable and the last unobservable, that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
| Level 1: | Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|---|---|
| Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| Level 3: | Valuations based on unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology and including data about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. |
Financial instruments carried at fair value include cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. The carrying amounts of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. See Note 4 for disclosure of other fair value measurements.
Goodwill
Goodwill is not subject to amortization. The Company tests the carrying amount of its goodwill for recoverability on an annual basis on June 30, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We monitor for indications of impairment throughout the year and perform qualitative and quantitative impairment tests as deemed necessary by management. If the fair value estimate is less than the carrying value, goodwill is considered impaired for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, and a charge is reported in impairment of goodwill in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. If the fair value is greater than the carrying value, then the carrying value is deemed to be recoverable and no further action is required. Our estimates of fair value may give consideration to market approaches utilizing the Company’s market capitalization, adjusted for implied control premiums based on transactions for comparable entities, and utilizing the value of the Company in other recent transactions,
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded an impairment loss related to goodwill of approximately $5.4 million. See Note 7 for further information.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for indications of possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to these assets. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent an asset group is not recoverable, and the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. There were no impairments of long-lived assets for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-Use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The classification of Company leases as operating or finance leases, along with the initial measurement and recognition of the associated ROU assets and lease liabilities, is performed at the lease commencement date. The measurement of lease liabilities is based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. The ROU asset is based on the measurement of the lease liability and includes any lease payments made prior to or on lease commencement and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, as applicable. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise any such options. Rent expense for the Company's operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Amortization expense for the ROU asset associated with finance leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and interest expense associated with its finance leases is recognized on the balance of the lease liability using the effective interest method based on the estimated incremental borrowing rate.
The Company may have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. As allowed under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, Leases ("Topic 842"), the Company generally elects to not separate lease and non-lease components for any leases involving real estate and office equipment classes of assets and, as a result, would account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company has also elected to not apply the recognition requirement of Topic 842 to leases with a term of 12 months or less for all classes of assets.
Revenue Recognition
Under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration, if any; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. See License Revenue (below) for more information relative to our contracts with customers.
Under ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“Topic 808”), a collaborative arrangement is a contractual arrangement under which two or more parties actively participate in a joint operating activity and are exposed to significant risks and rewards that depend on the commercial success of the activity. The Company evaluates arrangements to determine whether they meet the definition and scope of a collaborative arrangement. Arrangements within the scope of ASC 808 may contain components that are subject to other authoritative accounting guidance, including ASC 606. Transactions with a counterparty that is a customer in the context of a distinct good or service are accounted for in accordance with Topic 606. Transactions that are not within the scope of Topic 606 are accounted for in accordance with other applicable authoritative accounting guidance, as appropriate. Costs incurred and revenue generated from transactions with third parties are presented in accordance with the applicable principal-versus-agent guidance. Payments between participants are presented in the consolidated statement of operations based on the applicable accounting guidance for the underlying transaction.
License Revenue
The Company assesses its license arrangements within the scope of Topic 606 in accordance with this framework as follows:
The Company assesses whether the goods or services promised within each contract are distinct to identify those that are performance obligations. This assessment involves subjective determinations and requires management to make judgments about the individual promised goods or services and whether such are separable from the other aspects of the contractual relationship. In assessing whether a promised good or service is distinct, and therefore a performance obligation, the Company considers factors such as the research, stage of development of the licensed product, manufacturing and commercialization capabilities of the customer, and the availability of the associated expertise in the general marketplace. The Company also considers the intended benefit of the contract in assessing whether a promised good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. If a promised good or service is not distinct, the Company is required to combine that good or service with other promised goods or services until it identifies a bundle of goods or services that is distinct. Arrangements that include rights to additional goods or services that are exercisable at a customer’s discretion are generally considered options. The Company assesses if these options provide a material right to the customer and if so, they are considered performance obligations.
The transaction price is determined and allocated to the identified performance obligations in proportion to their stand-alone selling prices (“SSP”) on a relative SSP basis. SSP is based on observable prices of the performance obligations or, when such prices are not observable, are estimated. The estimation of SSP may include factors such as forecasted revenues or costs, development timelines, discount rates, probabilities of technical and regulatory success, and considerations such as market conditions and entity-specific factors. In certain circumstances, the Company may apply the residual method to determine the SSP of a good or service if the SSP is considered highly variable or uncertain. The Company validates the SSP for performance obligations by evaluating whether changes in the key assumptions used to determine the SSP will have a significant effect on the allocation of arrangement consideration between multiple performance obligations.
If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to a customer. The Company determines the amount of variable consideration by using the expected value method or the most likely amount method. The Company includes the amount of estimated variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the estimated variable consideration included in the transaction price and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period of adjustment.
If an arrangement includes development, regulatory, or commercial milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being reached and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the Company’s control or the licensee’s control, such as regulatory approvals, are generally not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received.
In determining the transaction price, the Company adjusts consideration for the effects of the time value of money if the timing of payments provides the Company with a significant benefit of financing. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between payment by the licensee and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the licensees will be one year or less. For arrangements with licenses of intellectual property that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and if the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes royalty revenue and sales-based milestones at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied.
The Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over time, and if over time, recognition is based on the use of an output or input method.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs include, but are not limited to, salaries, benefits, travel, share-based compensation, consulting costs, contract research service costs, laboratory supplies and facilities, contract manufacturing costs, and costs paid to other third parties that conduct research and development activities on the Company’s behalf. Amounts incurred in connection with license and collaboration agreements are also included in research and development expenses.
Advance payments for goods or services to be rendered in the future for use in research and development activities are recorded as a prepaid asset and expensed as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed.
Accrued Research and Development Costs
The Company records the costs associated with research non-clinical studies, clinical trials, and manufacturing development as incurred. These costs are a significant component of the Company’s research and development expenses, with a substantial portion of the Company’s on-going research and development activities conducted by third-party service providers, including contract research and manufacturing organizations.
The Company accrues for expenses resulting from obligations under agreements with contract research organizations (“CROs”), contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”), and other outside service providers for which payment flows do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided to the Company. Accruals are recorded based on estimates of services received and efforts expended pursuant to agreements established with CROs, CMOs, and other outside service providers. These estimates are typically based on contracted amounts applied to the proportion of work performed and determined through analysis with internal personnel and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of the services. The Company makes significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrual balance in each reporting period. In the event advance payments are made to a CRO, CMO, or outside service provider, the payments will be recorded as a prepaid asset which will be amortized as the contracted services are performed. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accruals. Inputs, such as the services performed, the number of patients enrolled, or the study duration, may vary from the Company’s estimates, resulting in adjustments to research and development expense in future periods. Changes in these estimates that result in material changes to the Company’s accruals could materially affect the Company’s results of operations. Historically, the Company has not experienced any material deviations between accrued and actual research and development expenses.
Share-based Compensation
The Company recognizes the cost of share-based awards granted to employees and non-employees based on the estimated grant-date fair values of the awards. The fair values of stock options are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The value of the award is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur, which may result in the reversal of compensation costs in subsequent periods as the forfeitures arise. Compensation expense for employee and non-employee share-based payment awards with performance conditions is recognized when the performance condition is deemed probable.
Foreign Currency Matters
For the Company's non-U.S. operations where the functional currency is the local currency, we translate assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and record translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive loss. We translate income statement amounts at average rates for the period and record translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Transaction gains and losses are recorded in other income in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss).
Income Taxes
The Company's income tax benefit includes U.S. and international income taxes. Certain items of income and expense are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effects of these differences are reported as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of deductible temporary differences and tax operating loss and credit carryforwards. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. Management assesses the likelihood the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent it believes it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized, the Company establishes a valuation allowance. To the extent the Company establishes a valuation allowance or changes the amount allocated as the valuation allowance in a period, it includes a deferred tax benefit (expense) within the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss).
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Other comprehensive income (loss) is the change in shareholders’ equity from transactions and other events and circumstances other than those resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. The Company’s other comprehensive income is currently comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments reflecting the cumulative effect of changes in exchange rates between the foreign entity’s functional currency and the reporting currency.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 prospectively in 2026 and it did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements (see Note 14).
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, among other things, specific information about certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory; employee compensation; and depreciation, amortization, and depletion expenses for each caption on the income statement where such expenses are included. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied prospectively to reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.
Note 3. Restructuring Costs
In October 2025, Management committed to a plan to discontinue or pause, with respect to BNC210 in SAD and PTSD, its research and development activities while it seeks to identify a partner with which to execute a strategic merger and/or such other transaction(s), if any, for the benefit of existing shareholders of Neuphoria. As part of the restructuring initiative, the Company terminated its facility leases, wrote off the remaining carrying value of the right-of-use asset, derecognized the associated operating lease liability, and terminated substantially all of its employees. A liability equivalent to the derecognized lease liability has been included in Accrued restructuring expenses. The write-offs are included in restructuring costs in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026.
Included in total restructuring costs are the following expenses:
| Employee termination costs | $1,411,955 |
|---|---|
| Impairment of right-of-use asset | 47,608 |
| Other restructuring costs | 437,994 |
| Refundable credits on contract terminations | (618,971) |
| Total restructuring costs | $1,278,586 |
Restructuring reserves includedin accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet are as follows:

| Restructuring costs | 1,278,586 |
| Restructuring payments | (1,220,255) |
| Restructuring liability at June 30, 2026 | $58,331 |
Note 4. Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures and reports certain financial instruments as assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy:
| Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 · Total | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liabilities: | ||||||
| Contingent consideration | $ | - | $ | - | $1,025,301 | $1,025,301 |

| Total liabilities measured at fair value | $ | - | $ | - | $4,871,167 | $4,871,167 |
The Company has no financial assets that are measured at fair value. The liabilities measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period are contingent consideration and the accompanying warrant liability. The value of financial assets and other financial liabilities approximate their fair value. The following paragraph gives information about how the fair value of the financial liability is determined.
The accompanying warrant liability relates to the Company’s issuance of an accompanying warrant in conjunction with a Private Placement in June 2024. The fair value of the accompanying warrant liability was based on a Black-Scholes model valuation that required inputs (see Note 12) that were both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. This approach resulted in a classification of the accompanying warrant liability as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
See Note 17 for additional disclosure related to contingent consideration.
The following table summarizes changes in the fair value of contingent consideration and the accompanying warrant liability, for which each fair value was determined by Level 3 inputs:
| ContingentConsiderationin a BusinessCombination | FreestandingFinancialInstrumentsAccompanyingWarrantsLiability | |

Note 6. Leases
In June 2021, the Company entered into a 5-year lease agreement (the “Greenhill Lease”) for its Australian facility located in Dulwich, South Australia. The lease expired according to its terms in May 2026.
The Company accounted for the Greenhill Lease under ASC 842, recognizing a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and a corresponding lease liability representing future rent payment obligations. The ROU asset was initially measured based on the present value of future lease payments and subsequently amortized over the lease term.
In October 2025, the Company committed to a plan to exit its Australian facility as part of a restructuring plan as approved by the Company's board of directors. The leased facility ceased being used for any business purpose and the Company did not sublease the space during the remainder of the lease term. Accordingly, under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and ASC 842, the carrying value of the associated right-of-use asset was evaluated for abandonment, and the remaining carrying amount of less than $0.1 million was derecognized. The lease liability of approximately $0.1 million was also derecognized.
The resulting write-off of the right-of-use asset is recorded in restructuring costs in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026.
Variable lease expense for the premises primarily consisted of common area maintenance and other operating costs.
The following table summarizes the effect of lease costs in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss):
| Year Ended June 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Operating lease costs | ||
| Research and development | $28,749 | $44,148 |
| General and administrative | 36,536 | 49,727 |
| Total | $65,285 | $93,875 |
Note 7. Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and is primarily attributable to expected synergies from combining the acquired operations with the Company's existing business, the value of the acquired assembled workforce, and other intangible benefits that did not qualify for separate recognition as identifiable intangible assets under ASC 805. The Company has only one reporting unit: drug development. Management tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment. All goodwill exists within the drug development reporting unit.
The following table summarizes goodwill, net of the effect of foreign currency exchange adjustments and the goodwill impairment charge, for thetwelve months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively:
| Acquisition · June 30, 2026 · June 30, 2025 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Iliad Chemicals Pty Ltd acquisition | $4,700,360 | $4,478,747 | |

| Foreign currency exchange differences | (51,409) | ||
| Carrying amount at June 30, 2025 | $8,638,609 | ||
As stated in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company tests the carrying amount of its goodwill for recoverability on an annual basis on June 30, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We monitor for indications of impairment throughout the year and perform qualitative and quantitative impairment tests as deemed necessary by management.
On July 1, 2026, Merck announced the cancellation of its Alzheimer’s trial of MK-1167. The trial was a Phase 2 study of MK-1167, an α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor positive allosteric modulator, as licensed from Neuphoria. Merck stopped its study after an interim analysis indicated the drug did not meet the efficacy criteria required to justify continuing. Management determined that the suspension of the MK-1167 trial by Merck represented an impairment indicator and moved to retain an independent third-party valuation expert to perform a quantitative analysis of the carrying value of our single reporting unit. The June 30, 2026 valuation applied a market approach with adjustments, as necessary, to market capitalization data for implied control premiums. The results of that analysis concluded an impairment existed at June 30, 2026, primarily due to downward revisions of the expected future cashflows associated with the potential commercialization of Merck's MK-1167. Accordingly, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of approximately $5.4 million at June 30, 2026.
The Company hasno accumulated goodwill impairment losses as of June 30, 2026 except for the goodwill impairment recorded as a result of the Merck cancellation.
Note 8. Intangible Assets
Intellectual Property
The acquired intellectual property relates to cancer stem cell technology and is carried at its cost on the date of acquisition, less accumulated amortization. There was no impairment identified by the Company at June 30, 2026 or 2025.
| Cancer StemCell Technology | |
|---|---|
| Carrying amount at June 30, 2025 | $4,804,791 |
| Amortization expense | (662,731) |
| Carrying amount at June 30, 2026 | $4,142,060 |
| Carrying amount at June 30, 2024 | $5,467,522 |
| Amortization expense | (662,731) |
| Carrying amount at June 30, 2025 | $4,804,791 |
Acquired intellectual property with a finite life is recognized as an asset at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 20 years. There is currently no internally generated intellectual property capitalized. The Company concluded a quantitative assessment was not required with respect to the financial reporting period ended June 30, 2026 as no events occurred or circumstances changed that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the acquired intellectual property below its carrying amount.
Note 9. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

Note 10. Share-Based Compensation
In December 2024, Neuphoria adopted its 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (“2024 Plan”). The maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company that are available for issuance under the 2024 Plan is 1,000,000 shares. On December 24, 2024, our predecessor entity, Bionomics Limited, effected a redomiciliation through a scheme of arrangement under Australian law whereby and following which Neuphoria became the successor entity to Bionomics. As a result of the redomiciliation, Neuphoria issued certain options to acquire shares of common stock in Neuphoria to holders of options to acquire shares in Bionomics (“Bionomics Options”) in exchange for their Bionomics Options. The structure of equity awards is under the active review of the Compensation Committee to ensure it meets good corporate practice for a company of our size, nature and company lifecycle. The Committee may, from time to time, grant Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Bonus Awards and/or Performance Awards to one or more Eligible Persons. At June 30, 2026, there were 807,491 shares available for grant under the 2024 Plan.
Equity awards for executives and employees were previously provided by a combination of equity plans that may include the:
Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”); and
Employee Equity Plan (“EEP”).
Participation in these plans was at our board of directors’ discretion and no individual has an ongoing contractual right to participate in a plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits. For key appointments, an initial allocation of equity was offered as a component of the recipients initial employment agreement.
The following table summarizes the weighted-average assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the awards granted during the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:
| Year Ended June 30, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 · 2025 | ||||
| Expected term (in years) | 6.0 | 5.8 | ||

(1) The aggregate intrinsic value in this table was calculated on the positive difference, if any, between the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on June 30, 2026 of $4.37 and the per share exercise price of the underlying options.
As of June 30, 2026, there was approximately$0.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested employee stock option awards outstanding, which is expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted average period of 1.31 years.
During the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized total share-based compensation expense of approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, substantially all of which was recorded as general and administrative expense in each period.
In determining the fair value of the share-based awards, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and assumptions discussed below. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.
The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, was $7.88 and $4.58 per option, respectively.
The dividend yield ofzero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is estimated using the historical volatility of the Company commencing with its direct listing on the NASDAQ exchange post-redomiciliation. The Company has estimated the expected life of its stock options using the “simplified” method, whereby, the expected life equals the average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the option for service-based awards since the Company doesn’t have sufficient historical or implied data of its own. The risk-free interest rates for periods within the expected life of the option are based on the yields of zero-coupon United States Treasury securities.
Restricted Stock Units
Terms of RSUs agreements, including vesting requirements, are determined by the board of directors or its compensation committee, subject to the provisions of the 2024 Plan. RSUs granted by the Company vest according to the terms of the underlying grant agreement and are awarded at the closing stock share price on the date of grant. In the event the recipient's employment with the Company terminates, any unvested underlying shares are forfeited and revert to the 2024 Plan. RSUs are not included in issued and outstanding common stock until the underlying shares are vested.
The table below summarizes activity relating to RSUs for thetwelve months ended June 30, 2026:
| Numberof Units | Weighted-Average Grant DateFair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Outstanding at June 30, 2025 | 33,915 | $5.11 |
| Vested / Settled | (33,915) | 5.11 |
| Granted | 42,684 | 4.03 |
| Outstanding at June 30, 2026 | 42,684 | $4.03 |
The Company recognized approximately$0.2 million and $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with the RSUs for thetwelve months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding RSUs had unamortized stock-based compensation expense of$0.1 million with a weighted-average remaining recognition period of 0.5 years and an aggregate intrinsic value of$0.2 million.
Note 11. Capital Stock
Under the Certificate of Incorporation, Neuphoria is authorized to issue up to 30,000,000 shares of common stock and
3,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share.
Common Stock
Voting Rights. The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which stockholders are generally entitled to vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of common stock, as such, are not entitled to vote on any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation. Holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the combined voting power of our common stock could, if they so choose, elect all the directors.
Dividends. Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive any dividends to the extent permitted by law when, as and if declared by our board of directors.
Liquidation. Upon the dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of Neuphoria, subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, the holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive the assets of Neuphoria available for distribution to its stockholders ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by them.
Authorized but Unissued Preferred Stock
Unless required by law or by any stock exchange on which our common stock may be listed, the authorized shares of preferred stock will be available for issuance without further action by our stockholders. Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, which apply as long as our common stock is listed on Nasdaq, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the combined voting power of our common stock if issued at a discount to the market price of the common stock. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions, and employee benefit plans.
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes our board of directors to establish the number of shares to be included in each series of preferred stock, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, relative participation, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, of the shares of each series of preferred stock. Our board of directors is also able to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of any series of preferred stock (but not below the number of shares of that series of preferred stock then outstanding) without any further vote or action by the stockholders. No shares of preferred stock are issued or outstanding as of June 30, 2026.
Shareholder Rights Agreement
On October 25, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc. declared a dividend ofone right (“Right”) to purchase one-thousandth of one share of the Company’s newly designated Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (each, a “Preferred Share” and collectively, the “Preferred Shares”), for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.00001 pershare, of the Company to the stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 27, 2025 (the “Record Date”). The Company also adopted a limited duration stockholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”), effective immediately, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2025 (the “Rights Agreement”), by and between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent. The Rights Agent currently serves as the Company’s transfer agent with respect to the Company
Common Stock and also has been appointed transfer agent with respect to the Preferred Shares, if any, that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of rights under the Rights Agreement. The Rights will expire on October 27, 2026, unless the rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company. The Company does not have any obligation under the Rights Agreement to seek stockholder approval for the Rights Plan. In connection with the Rights Plan, the Company also filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 27, 2025 with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock shares issuable under the Rights Plan. Per the terms of the Rights Plan, the purchase price for each 1/1000th of a Preferred Share pursuant to the exercise of a Right shall initially be $85.00. There wereno triggering events under the Shareholders Rights Plan during thetwelve months ended June 30, 2026.
Preferred Share Provisions:
Each Preferred Share, if issued:
will not be redeemable;
when, as and if any dividend is declared on Company Common Stock, entitle the holder to quarterly dividend payments in an amount per share equal to 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount, payable in kind, of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in Company Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding Company Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, declared on Company Common Stock since the immediately preceding quarterly dividend payment date or, with respect to the first date when quarterly dividends are payable in cash, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock;
will entitle the holder upon liquidation either to receive a preferential liquidation payment of the greater of (a) $1,000 per Series A Preferred Share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment, and (b) an aggregate amount per Series A Preferred Share equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of Company Common Stock plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends on such Series A Preferred Shares;
will have the same voting power as 1,000 shares of Company Common Stock;
if shares of Company Common Stock are exchanged via merger, consolidation, or a similar transaction, will entitle the holder to a per share payment equal to the payment made on 1,000 shares of Company Common Stock; and
will rank junior to any other series of the Company’s preferred stock in the event such other preferred stock is issued by the Company, unless the terms of any such series provide otherwise.
The value of one one-thousandth (1/1,000th) interest in a Series A Preferred Share is intended to approximate the value of one share of Company Common Stock.

Note 13. Revenue
Cancer Therapeutics Cooperative Research Centre
The Company became a multi-party participant via agreement (the "Participants Agreement") in the Australian Government-supported Cancer Therapeutics Cooperative Research Centre (“CTx CRC” or "CRC") in 2007. The CRC collaborative arrangement was established to support oncology research, development, and commercialization activities. Approximately seventeen participants contributed cash, personnel, intellectual property, and in-kind resources during the initial phases of CRC’s existence. The Company holds an approximate 4.65% participation interest in CRC.
Beginning in 2016, the CRC became self-funding through licensing and commercialization activities with third-party customers. The CRC, rather than the Company, contracts with those third-party customers and recognizes revenue from those arrangements. Under the Participants Agreement and related commercialization agreements, participants retain contractual rights to participate in future commercialization proceeds generated from CRC-developed technologies in accordance with their participation interests. Accordingly, although the Company no longer contributes cash to CRC, it retains continuing contractual rights to receive distributions arising from successful commercialization activities. The Company is now a passive participant whose contractual rights are limited to receiving distributions based upon its participation interest.
The Company accounts for its participation in the CRC Participants Agreement as a collaborative arrangement under ASC 808, which provides guidance on presentation and disclosure but generally does not prescribe comprehensive recognition principles. The Company does not account for CRC distributions under ASC 606, because CRC is not a customer of the Company, the Company does not transfer goods or services to CRC in exchange for the distributions, and the Company has no performance obligations to the third-party licensees that contract with CRC.
The Company recognizes CRC distributions when its contractual right to receive the distribution becomes fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Amounts recognized from CRC distributions are presented in revenue and are separately disclosed because such amounts do not represent revenue recognized under ASC 606. Although the Company has become a passive participant in recent years, management believes the appropriate assessment is based upon the contractual arrangement as a whole. The Company's continuing distribution rights exist because of its historical participation and continuing participation interest rather than because CRC currently purchases goods or services from the Company. These activities demonstrate participation in the underlying operating activity rather than a customer-vendor relationship. This accounting policy decision to report distributions from CRC as revenue is analogous to the Company’s accounting for historical contributions to CRC which were included as costs of operations and expensed as part of research and development as incurred.
The Company recognized revenue associated with the CRC arrangement of approximately $1.2 million during thetwelve months ended June 30, 2026. The Company didnot receive any distributions from CRC during thetwelve months ended June 30, 2025.
Carina Biotech Pty Ltd
In November 2020, the Company entered into an IP license agreement (the “Carina Biotech License”) with Carina Biotech Pty Ltd ("Carina Biotech"). Pursuant to the Carina Biotech License, the Company is eligible to receive approximately A$2.0 million and A$3.0 million in certain development and regulatory milestone payments if Carina Biotech advances the development of the therapy to a Phase 2 or Phase 3 trial, respectively. Carina Biotech is also obligated to pay royalties on its net sales of licensed products, on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis, ranging from the low single digits to the mid-single digits, subject to certain specified deductions. Royalties are payable until the later of expiration of all licensed patents covering the licensed products, or expiration of all data exclusivity with respect to the licensed product. If Carina Biotech enters into one or more sublicensing agreements relating to the licensed product, we are eligible to receive a percentage of sublicensing revenues.
During October 2024, Carina Biotech made a milestone payment to the Company in the gross amount of approximately $0.7 million under the terms of the Carina Biotech License agreement. The milestone payment was due to the Company as Carina Biotech achieved the initiation of the first Phase 1 Clinical Trial (i.e., first dosing in a human subject). The Company didnot receive any milestone payments from Carina Biotech during thetwelve months ended June 30, 2026.
Merck & Co., Inc.
In June 2014, the Company entered into a Research Collaboration and License Agreement with Merck & Co., Inc. (“Merck”) ("Merck Agreement") to develop α7 receptor PAMs targeting cognitive dysfunction associated with Alzheimer’s disease and other central nervous system conditions. Under the Merck Agreement, Merck funded certain research and development activities on a full-time equivalent (“FTE”) basis pursuant to a research plan. Merck funds current and future research and development activities, including clinical development and worldwide commercialization of any products developed from the license granted by the Company.
On March 19, 2025, the Company received a $15 million milestone payment from Merck. The payment was triggered by the initiation by Merck of a Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MK-1167, an α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor positive allosteric modulator, for the treatment of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease dementia (NCT06721156). This $15 million payment marks the third milestone achieved in the collaboration with Merck. Under the agreement, as amended, Neuphoria is eligible to receive up to an aggregate of $450 million in milestone payments comprised of $275 million for the achievement of certain development milestones and $175 million in potential commercial milestones, plus royalties on net sales of any licensed medicines.
The Company evaluated the Merck Agreement in accordance with the provisions of ASC 606. The Company’s obligation under the Merck Agreement related to the residual variable consideration associated with the Merck Agreement are as follows: the Company granted to Merck an exclusive license (even as to Neuphoria and its Affiliates) in the Territory under the Bionomics Ltd. Patent Rights and Bionomics Ltd. Know-How, with a right to grant and authorize sublicenses, to research, develop, make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import and/or otherwise exploit Compounds and Products in the Field.
Regulatory milestone payments are triggered upon the achievement of certain research and commercial milestones. The commercial milestone payments and royalties are subject to the royalty recognition constraint whereby such amounts will be recognized as revenue upon the later of: (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the payment has been allocated has been satisfied, or partially satisfied, because the exclusive license is deemed to be the sole or predominant item to which the payments relate. As all performance obligations are satisfied, the Company will recognize royalty revenue at the date the sales occur.
On March 14, 2025, the Company and Merck executed the Fifth Amendment to the Research Collaboration and License Agreement which amended the patent royalty rate set out in the agreement, such that, conditioned upon achievement of net sales thresholds set forth in the Merck Agreement, as amended, the Company will be paid royalties on net sales ranging from a low single digits percentage to a low sub-teens percentage, depending on net sales volume.
The Company didnot receive any milestone payments from Merck during thetwelve months ended June 30, 2026.

At June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded valuation allowances of approximately $25.4 million and $26.1 million, respectively, against its deferred tax assets since in the judgment of management, these assets are not more than likely to be realized. The decrease in the valuation allowance at June 30, 2026, as compared to June 30, 2025, was due to changes in the foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Australian dollar.
At June 30, 2026, the Company had a Net Operating Loss ("NOL") carryforward of approximately $123.5 million. The Company has U.S. NOL carryforwards of approximately $1.0 million, with a 20-year carryforward that will start expiring in 2032 and approximately $9.6 million with an indefinite carryforward, state NOL carryforwards of approximately $9.2 million with a 20 year carryforward that starts expiring in 2043, and Australian NOL carryforwards of approximately $103.7 million with an indefinite carryforward.
At June 30, 2025, the Company had U.S. NOL carryforwards of $1.0 million with a 20-year carryforward period that starts expiring in 2032 and $2.8 million with an indefinite carryforward period, state NOL carryforwards of $2.5 million with a 20-year carryforward period that starts expiring in 2043, and Australian NOL carryforwards of $95.6 million with an indefinite carryforward period.
Uncertain Tax Positions
ASC 740 prescribes the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. We regularly assess the outcome of potential examinations in each of the taxing jurisdictions when determining the adequacy of the amount of unrecognized tax benefit recorded. We recognize tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it's more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit which is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. As of June 30, 2026 the company has no uncertain tax positions.
The Company files taxes in Australia, the U.S., and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Company is not currently under audit for the open years 2022 to 2024 in the U.S. or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Carryforward attributes that were generated in earlier periods remain subject to examination to the extent the year in which they were used or will be used remains open for examination. The Company is not currently under audit for the open years 2021 to 2024 in Australia.

Note 17. Contingent Consideration
As a result of the acquisition of Eclipse Therapeutic, Inc (“Eclipse”) during the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company determines and recognizes at each reporting date the fair value of the additional consideration that may be payable to Eclipse security holders due to potential royalty payments based on achieving late-stage development success or partnering outcomes based on Eclipse assets. Such potential earn-out payments are recorded at fair value and include several significant estimates including adjusted revenue projections and expenses, probability of such projections, and a suitable discount rate to calculate fair value. Inputs used are based on the anticipated amounts and timing of potential milestone and royalty payments from the licensing agreement with Carina Biotech.
The guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations, requires an acquirer to recognize contingent consideration obligations as of the acquisition date at fair value as part of the consideration transferred in exchange for the acquired business. Subsequent changes in the fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The following tables detail the change in fair value of the contingent consideration liability for the periods presented:

Note 20. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through September 18, 2026 and has concluded that no events or transactions have occurred that require disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, except as follows:
Proposed Merger with Scancell
On July 23, 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Scancell Holdings plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“Parent”), and Scancell Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”). All defined terms used in this summary of the Merger Agreement that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.00001 per share (“Company Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than excluded shares, will be converted into the right to receive (i) a number of American Depositary Shares of Parent (“Parent ADSs”) equal to the exchange ratio determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement (the “Equity Consideration”) and (ii) one contingent value right (each, a “CVR” and, together with the Equity Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the exchange ratio (the “Exchange Ratio”) is calculated upon the Effective Time, on a pro forma basis and based upon the number of Parent ADSs expected to be issued in connection with the Merger and the PIPE Financing. Pre-Merger stockholders of the Company (other than Subscribers in the PIPE Financing) are expected to own approximately 11.1% of the combined company, pre-Merger shareholders of Parent will own approximately 64.9% of the combined company and the Subscribers in the PIPE Financing are expected to hold approximately 17.3% (assuming gross proceeds from the PIPE Financing of $38.6 million), in each case calculated on a fully diluted basis, using the treasury stock method, and subject to certain assumptions, including (i) the Parent Valuation of $144,612,002, (ii) the Company Valuation of $24,598,949, and (iii) the relative capitalization of Parent and the Company, as determined in accordance with the Exchange Ratio formula set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Exchange Ratio and related share counts are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment for stock splits or similar events (including Parent’s planned reverse share split) between signing and closing, and no fractional Parent ADSs will be issued, with fractional entitlements rounded to the nearest whole ADS.
The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of the parties regarding their respective businesses. The Merger Agreement also contains certain covenants made by each of the Company and Parent, including non-solicitation restrictions binding each party (and subject to certain exceptions as further described in the Merger Agreement) and its representatives and restrictions on the operation of each party’s business between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time.
In connection with the Merger, the parties will prepare and Parent will cause to be filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-4, which will contain a proxy statement relating to the Company Stockholder Meeting (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), to register the Parent ADSs and the Parent Ordinary Shares represented thereby to be issued pursuant to the Merger (the “Form F-4”). The Company will seek the approval of the Company’s stockholders at the Company Stockholder Meeting, which will be called for the purpose of voting on the adoption of the Merger Agreement (the “Company Stockholder Approval”). In addition, Parent will seek the approval of Parent’s shareholders at the Parent Shareholder Meeting, which will encompass resolutions required under the Companies Act 2006 to implement the Merger and the Concurrent Financing, including, among other matters: (i) the allotment of the Parent Consideration Shares to be issued to stockholders of the Company in connection with the Merger; (ii) the AIM Reverse Split at a ratio to be mutually agreed upon by Parent and the Company, to be effected prior to the Closing; and (iii) the allotment of Parent Ordinary Shares and Non-Voting Ordinary Shares in connection with the Concurrent Financing (the “Parent Shareholder Approval”).
In the event the Company’s Board of Directors makes a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as a result of a Superior Offer (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Company will remain obligated to hold the stockholder meeting to seek the Company vote on the Company Stockholder Approval under the terms of the Merger Agreement and may not terminate the Merger Agreement in order to enter into an agreement with respect to such Superior Offer.
The completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) the Company Stockholder Approval and the Parent Shareholder Approval; (ii) approval of the Nasdaq listing of the Parent ADSs (and the Parent Ordinary Shares represented thereby); (iii) Subscription Agreements remaining in full force and effect and Parent receiving not less than $75.0 million in gross cash proceeds from the concurrent financing prior to or substantially simultaneously with the closing; (iv) effectiveness of the Form F-4; (v) circulation of the Parent Circular to Parent’s shareholders; (vi) Closing Net Cash of at least $10,000,000 as of December 31, 2026 or at the Closing, whichever occurs earlier; (vii) receipt by Parent of certain required third-party consents; and (viii) execution and delivery by the applicable signatories of the Company Lock-Up Agreements and the Parent Lock-Up Agreements, each of which shall be in full force and effect as of immediately following the Effective Time.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and Parent, including termination by mutual written agreement, by either party if the Merger has not been consummated by February 28, 2027, subject to a 60-day extension if the SEC has not declared the Form F-4 effective, by either party if a final and non-appealable governmental order permanently enjoins or prohibits the Merger, by either party if the Company stockholder approval or Parent Shareholder Approval is not obtained, by Parent in certain circumstances involving a Company adverse recommendation change or material breach of the Company’s no-solicitation obligations, and by either party for certain uncured breaches by the other party.
If the Merger Agreement is terminated due to the failure to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholder Meeting, the Company may be required to pay to Parent a Company No Vote Payment, equal to Parent’s aggregate fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Similarly, if the Merger Agreement is terminated due to the failure to obtain the Parent Shareholder Approval at the Parent Shareholder Meeting, Parent may be required to pay to the Company a Parent No Vote Payment, equal to the Company’s aggregate fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Voting and Lock-Up Agreements
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company, including all directors and officers and certain other significant holders of common stock, entered into voting and support agreements with Parent and Merger Sub (the “Company Voting Agreements”). Under the Company Voting Agreements, each securityholder agreed, among other things, not to transfer covered securities or enter into voting trusts or similar arrangements with respect to covered securities, subject to customary permitted transfers, and to appear at stockholder meetings for quorum purposes and vote the covered securities in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions and any related adjournment proposal, and against competing acquisition proposals and other actions, proposals, transactions or agreements that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the Transactions. Each such securityholder also granted Parent an irrevocable proxy to vote the Subject Securities (as defined below) consistent with these obligations, agreed to customary non-solicitation, confidentiality, no-litigation and further-assurances covenants, and made customary representations and warranties regarding its ownership of and authority over the Subject Securities.
The Company Voting Agreements terminate automatically upon the earliest of the Effective Time, termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, certain amendments, waivers, supplements or changes to the Merger Agreement made without the applicable securityholder’s prior written consent that decrease or change the form of consideration or otherwise materially and adversely affect such securityholder, a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, or the date and time set forth in a written agreement of Parent and the applicable securityholder.
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain shareholders and all directors of Parent entered into a voting and support deed with Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (the “Parent Voting and Support Deed”), covering the ordinary shares of Parent held by such shareholder together with any additional Parent or Company securities acquired during the term of the deed (the “Subject Securities”).
Under the Parent Voting and Support Deed, each securityholder agreed, among other things, not to transfer the Subject Securities or enter into voting trusts, proxies, or similar arrangements with respect to them, subject to customary permitted transfers to estate-planning or charitable transferees, affiliated entities, or other transferees who agree to be bound by the deed. Each such securityholder also agreed to appear (in person or by proxy) at Parent shareholder meetings for quorum purposes and to vote the Subject Securities in favor of the Parent Shareholder Approval and any related adjournment proposal, and against any action that could reasonably be expected to breach Parent’s or each such securityholder’s obligations under the Merger Agreement or the deed, and any other action, proposal, transaction or agreement that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect, or inhibit the timely consummation of the transactions or change the voting rights of Parent’s shares. Each such securityholder also granted Parent an irrevocable proxy to vote the Subject Securities consistent with these obligations, agreed to customary non-solicitation, confidentiality, no-litigation and further-assurances covenants, and made customary representations and warranties regarding its ownership of and authority over the Subject Securities.
The Parent Voting and Support Deed terminates automatically upon the earliest of the Effective Time, termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, as to a given securityholder, any amendment, waiver, supplement or change to the Merger Agreement made without that securityholder’s prior written consent that materially and adversely affects such securityholder, a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change, or the date and time set forth in a written agreement between Parent and the applicable securityholder.
At the Effective Time, certain directors, officers and stockholders of the Company and Parent, are expected to enter into lock-up agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”). Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreements, subject to specified exceptions, the applicable signatories are expected to accept restrictions on transfers of Parent ADSs and any Parent ordinary shares represented thereby that are beneficially owned by such persons or received in connection with the Merger for the restricted period specified in the applicable Lock-Up Agreement.
Contingent Value Rights Agreement
At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent is expected to enter into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”) with a rights agent (the “Rights Agent”). Pursuant to the CVR Agreement, the initial holders will be the holders of Company Common Stock as of the close of business on the last business day prior to the day on which the Effective Time occurs, andone CVR will be issued with respect to each share of Company Common Stock outstanding as of such record date.
Each CVR represents a contractual right to receive a pro rata share of CVR payments, if any, equal to 100% of the net proceeds actually received by Parent or its affiliates (i) under the Company’s research collaboration and license agreement with Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. for a period of 15 years from Completion; (ii) under the Participants Agreement and associated CRC Commercialization License Agreements (including the existing license agreement with Pfizer relating to KAT6), for a period of 15 years from Completion; (iii) pursuant to any monetization of certain of the Company’s intellectual property rights within the applicable timeframe as set out in the CVR Agreement; and (iv) in respect of an Australian R&D tax credit of the Company in respect of the year ended June 30, 2026. The CVR Agreement defines gross proceeds to include upfront, milestone, royalty and other payments received under the applicable Partner Agreements (as defined in the CVR Agreement), subject to the exclusions and deductions described in the CVR Agreement. The CVRs will not be evidenced by certificates or other instruments, will not have voting or dividend rights, will not bear interest, will not represent any equity, loan capital or ownership interest in Parent or any of its affiliates and will not be listed on any quotation system or traded on any securities exchange. The CVRs will be non-transferable except through limited permitted transfers, and there can be no assurance that any CVR holder will receive any payment pursuant to the CVR Agreement.
Subscription Agreements
In connection with the Merger Agreement, Parent entered into subscription agreements (each, a “Subscription Agreement” and collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (each, a “Subscriber”), pursuant to which each Subscriber agreed to purchase, and Parent agreed to issue and sell, Parent ADSs and/or voting and/or non-voting ordinary shares of Parent, par value £0.001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”, “Non-Voting Ordinary Shares” and, together with the Parent ADSs, the “PIPE Securities”), at a purchase price of $0.1205 per PIPE Security (the “Placement Price”), in a private placement (the “PIPE Financing”) to be consummated prior to or concurrently with the closing of the Merger. The closing of the PIPE Financing is contingent upon, and will occur on the date of, the closing of the Merger, and is subject to customary closing conditions.
Parent has agreed, within thirty (30) calendar days after the closing of the Merger, to file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Securities and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter. Each Subscription Agreement will automatically terminate, and the related PIPE Securities will not be issued, upon the earliest of the mutual written agreement of the parties to terminate, the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, the failure of the applicable closing conditions to be satisfied or waived as of the closing date, or written notice of termination by either party if the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement have not been consummated by the End Date.
UK Placing and Retail Offer
Concurrently with the signing of the Merger Agreement, Parent has entered into a placing agreement with Panmure Liberum Limited (the “Placing Agreement” and the “UK Placement Agent”) in connection with a proposed equity raise of approximately $12.0 million (c.£9.0 million) via a placing of new Ordinary Shares via an accelerated bookbuild process with select new and existing UK institutional investors at the GBP equivalent of the Placement Price (the “UK Placing”). In addition, Parent has entered into a retail offer agreement with Winterflood, a division of Marex Financial, to conduct a retail offer (the “Retail Offer”) via the Winterflood Retail Access Platform at the GBP equivalent of the Placement Price to raise up to a further $3.0 million (c.£2.3 million), open to existing shareholders of Parent and new qualifying UK retail investors. The UK Placing and the Retail Offer will each be effected pursuant to Parent’s existing share capital authorities. Neither the UK Placing nor the Retail Offer is conditional upon completion of the Merger and the PIPE Financing. The UK Placing and the Retail Offer are expected to complete, and the new Ordinary Shares will be admitted to trading on AIM, a market of the London Stock Exchange, on July 28, 2026.
Warrant Amendment Letter Agreement
On July 20, 2026, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Warrant Letter Agreement”) with Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. (“Armistice”), the holder of a Common Stock Purchase Warrant issued by the Company to Armistice on June 4, 2024, and replaced following the Company’s redomiciliation on December 24, 2024 (the “Warrant”).
Pursuant to the Warrant Letter Agreement, the parties agreed that, if the “Black Scholes Value” (as defined in the Warrant) otherwise payable to Armistice upon exercise of the “Cash-Out Right” (as defined in the Warrant) in connection with the Merger exceeds $3,500,000, the amount of such excess (the “Excess Amount”) will be payable to Armistice, at its option and in lieu of cash, in the form of Parent ordinary shares, Parent ADSs, warrant to purchase Parent ordinary shares or Parent ADSs, or a combination thereof (the “Warrant Equity Consideration”). The number of Parent ordinary shares constituting or underlying the Warrant Equity Consideration will equal the Excess Amount (or the portion thereof paid as Warrant Equity Consideration) divided by the Parent Per Share Price (as defined in the Merger Agreement), multiplied by 125%. Except as expressly modified by the Warrant Letter Agreement, all other terms and conditions of the Warrant remain unmodified and in full force and effect.
