Previous wording

We have incurred significant net losses in each reporting period since inception, have not generated any revenue from the sale of products, and have funded our operations primarily from the sale and issuance of equity securities and convertible debt. Our net losses were $30.5 million and $59.5 million for six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $244.7 million. We have no products approved for sale. As a result, we expect that it will be many years, if ever, before we have a commercialized product and generate revenue from product sales. Even if we succeed in receiving marketing approval for and commercializing one or more of our product candidates, we expect that we will continue to incur substantial research and development and other expenses to discover, develop and market additional product candidates.

Current wording

We have incurred significant net losses in each reporting period since inception, have not generated any revenue from the sale of products, and have funded our operations primarily from the sale and issuance of equity securities and convertible debt. Our net losses were $48.3 million and $59.5 million for nine months ended September 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. As of September 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $262.6 million. We have no products approved for sale. As a result, we expect that it will be many years, if ever, before we have a commercialized product and generate revenue from product sales. Even if we succeed in receiving marketing approval for and commercializing one or more of our product candidates, we expect that we will continue to incur substantial research and development and other expenses to discover, develop and market additional product candidates.

Previous wording

We will be required to demonstrate with substantial evidence through well controlled clinical trials that our product candidates are safe and effective for use in a diverse population before we can seek marketing approvals for their commercial sale. Success in preclinical studies and early-stage clinical trials does not mean that future clinical trials will be successful. For example, we previously decided to cease developing our former lead product candidate, OK-219, and another product candidate, known as OKI-179, despite promising early data. In addition, much of our preclinical data, including with respect to cellular selectivity, potency and antitumor activity of OKI-345 and OKI-355, as well as preclinical data generated in comparisons of our product candidates to other compounds, was generated internally by us in a limited number of cell lines, assays and animal models, has not been independently verified or generated in head-to-head clinical trials, and may not be reproducible or predictive of results in humans. Preclinical tumor regressions and selectivity or therapeutic-index advantages observed in our models may not translate into clinical efficacy, tolerability or a differentiated safety profile, and any associated comparative or superiority conclusions may not be reproducible in clinical development or accepted by regulatory authorities.

Previous wording

There is also currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and various other countries, including China, with respect to trade policies, treaties, trade regulations, and tariffs. In February 2025, the current U.S. presidential administration stated its intent to modify U.S. trade policy and, in some cases, to renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multilateral trade agreements. Beginning that month, the administration imposed “fentanyl-related” tariffs of 10-35% on imported products of China, Canada, and Mexico, with an exception for goods that qualify for duty-free treatment under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Beginning in April 2025, the administration also imposed “reciprocal” tariffs of 10% or more on imports from almost all U.S. trading partners other than Canada and Mexico, including China and the European Union. Both of the foregoing tariffs were implemented under authorities asserted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) and rescinded on February 24, 2026, following a Supreme Court decision invalidating the use of IEEPA to authorize these tariffs. Though the U.S. government has begun refunding payments made in connection with the IEEPA tariffs, but the availability, timing, and amount of any related refunds associated with payments of these tariffs remain uncertain and subject to further legal, regulatory, and administrative action. Following the recission of these tariffs, between February 24, 2026, and July 24, 2026, the U.S. government implemented a global “temporary import surcharge” of 10% on many of the same products affected by the prior reciprocal tariffs, under authorities provided for in Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. Upon expiration of the Section 122 temporary import surcharge on July 24, 2026, the U.S. government implemented tariffs of up to 10% or 12.5% on imported commodities from 60 U.S. trading partners, with certain items (including certain chemicals used for pharmaceutical applications) excepted, under authorities provided under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, following a determination by the U.S. Trade Representative that these trading partners insufficiently enforce forced labor laws. The foregoing tariffs supplement existing non-IEEPA tariff measures, including those already imposed under authorities provided in Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and other tariffs imposed under Section 301. For example, the U.S. government announced in April 2026 that it would impose a new Section 232 tariff of up to 100% on certain patented or branded pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical products beginning in July

Previous wording

The tariffs are subject to a number of uncertainties as they are implemented, including timing, future adjustments, and other changes. The ultimate reaction of other countries and the impact of these tariffs or other actions on the United States, the global economy, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations, cannot be predicted at this time, nor can we predict the impact of any other developments with respect to global trade. Further, the imposition of additional tariffs by the United States could result in the adoption of additional tariffs by other countries, as well as export controls and further retaliatory actions by any affected country. Any resulting trade war could negatively affect the global market for pharmaceuticals and could have a significant adverse effect on our business. These developments may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and they may significantly reduce global trade. Any of these factors could depress economic activity, restrict our access to potential customers or suppliers, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Previous wording

There has been increasing legislative and enforcement interest in the United States with respect to specialty drug pricing practices. In August 2022, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), which includes prescription drug provisions that have significant implications for the pharmaceutical industry and Medicare beneficiaries, including among other changes allowing the federal government to negotiate a maximum fair price for certain high-priced single-source Medicare drugs, imposing penalties and excise taxes for manufacturers that fail to comply with the drug price negotiation requirements, requiring inflation rebates for all Medicare Part B and Part D drugs, with limited exceptions, if their drug prices increase faster than inflation, and redesigning Medicare Part D to reduce out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for beneficiaries. HHS has issued and will continue to issue and update guidance as these programs are implemented. Only high-expenditure, single-source drugs that have been approved for at least seven years (11 years for single-source biologics) qualify for negotiation, with the negotiated price taking effect two years after the selection year. For 2026, CMS selected 10 high-cost Medicare Part D drugs in 2023 and the negotiated maximum fair price for each drug has been announced. CMS has selected 15 additional Medicare Part D drugs for negotiated maximum fair pricing in 2027. For 2028, up to an additional 15 drugs, which may be covered under either Medicare Part B or Part D, will be selected, and for 2029 and subsequent years, up to 20 additional Part B or Part D drugs will be selected. In June 2026, the CMS issued a proposed rule that would codify policies established in guidance documents for the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation

Previous wording

Program for initial price applicability year 2029 and beyond. CMS plans to release guidance to implement policies related to the effectuation of the maximum fair pricing for the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program for 2028. However, various industry stakeholders, including pharmaceutical companies, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, have initiated lawsuits against the federal government asserting that the price negotiation provisions of the IRA are unconstitutional. Further, the current administration has issued executive orders focused on decreasing prescription drug prices, including directing the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a mechanism through which American patients can buy drugs directly from manufacturers who sell at a most-favored-nation price and directing the U.S. Trade Representative and Secretary of Commerce to take action to ensure foreign countries are not engaged in practices that purposefully and unfairly undercut market prices and drive price hikes in the United States. Government agreements with pharmaceutical companies and other government measures that use most-favored-nation pricing targets for prescription drugs, including the use of international pricing reference to set drug prices in the United States, or increase generic and biosimilar drug entry sooner than expected, could have a material adverse effect on our industry, ability to set adequate pricing for new drugs to recover research and development costs, or ability to attract potential investors and potential buyers in the future. We cannot predict the full impact of the executive orders focused on reducing prescription drug prices or increasing domestic drug manufacturing capacity, or other measures that may be implemented by the current administration related to drug pricing, drug supply chains or manufacturing in the United States. The impact of these judicial challenges, as well as future legislative, executive and administrative actions and any future healthcare measures and agency rules implemented by the government on us and the pharmaceutical industry as a whole, is difficult or impossible to predict. The implementation of cost containment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our product candidates if approved.

Current wording

Medicare Part B five-year demonstration payment model that will require manufacturers of certain high-spend Part B drugs and biologics to pay rebates to CMS tied to international drug prices for those products. The Final Rule added exclusions for orphan-only drugs, cellular and gene therapy products, and plasma-derived products, and delayed the start of the first performance year to April 1, 2027. CMS also noted that it intends to waive GLOBE’s mandatory participation requirements for manufacturers in any calendar quarter during which they are participating in the GENEROUS Model. The GLOBE Model final rule is subject of ongoing litigation, which can impact its implementation. Further, the current administration has issued executive orders focused on decreasing prescription drug prices, including directing the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a mechanism through which American patients can buy drugs directly from manufacturers who sell at a most-favored-nation price and directing the U.S. Trade Representative and Secretary of Commerce to take action to ensure foreign countries are not engaged in practices that purposefully and unfairly undercut market prices and drive price hikes in the United States.

Previous wording

The foregoing SEC requirements will increase our time and cost of raising capital, offering stock under equity plans, and complying with securities laws. Furthermore, such requirements will add burdensome restrictions on the resale of our Class A Common Stock by our affiliates and any holders of our “restricted” or “control” securities.

Current wording

The foregoing SEC requirements have and may in the future increase our time and cost of raising capital, offering stock under equity plans, and complying with securities laws. Furthermore, such requirements will add burdensome restrictions on the resale of our Class A Common Stock by our affiliates and any holders of our “restricted” or “control” securities.

Previous wording

As of August 1, 2026, our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 60.3% of the outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock. As a result, if these stockholders were to choose to act together, they would be able to control or significantly influence all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs. For example, these stockholders, if they choose to act together, would control or significantly influence the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of us on terms that other stockholders may desire.

Current wording

As of November 2, 2026, our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 61.2% of the outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock. As a result, if these stockholders were to choose to act together, they would be able to control or significantly influence all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs.

Previous wording

The trading market for our Class A Common Stock will be influenced by the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. Equity research analysts may elect to not provide research coverage of our Class A Common Stock, and such lack of research coverage may adversely affect the market price of our Class A Common Stock. In the event that we do have equity research analyst coverage, we will not have any control over the analysts or the content and opinions included in their reports. The price of our Class A Common Stock could decline if one or more equity research analysts downgrades our stock or issues other unfavorable commentary or research. If one or more equity research analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on it regularly, demand for our Class A Common Stock could decrease, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

The U.S. Commerce Department is currently conducting targeted investigations related to national security risks associated with imports of certain items under Section 232 which could result in additional tariffs on imports of those items. The administration continues to implement new, reinstated, or adjusted tariffs, and we expect that the administration will continue with this practice. These tariffs (and the uncertainty around their implementation) could affect inputs to our products, as well as equipment, materials, or components that we import into the United States from our suppliers, which could significantly impact the cost of these items. Retaliatory tariffs and trade barriers could also negatively affect our ability to export and sell our potential products into those countries. If these tariffs are implemented, reinstated or adjusted, if additional tariffs are placed, or if any related countermeasures are taken by China, the European Union, or other countries, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially harmed.
