Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Definium Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Definium”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. Its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Definium Therapeutics US, Inc. (“Definium US”) and HealthMode, Inc. are both incorporated in the State of Delaware, United States. Definium US was incorporated on May 30, 2019, and HealthMode, Inc. was incorporated on December 13, 2017.
On January 9, 2026, the Company changed its corporate name from Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. to Definium Therapeutics, Inc. On January 12, 2026, the Company changed the name of its wholly-owned subsidiary from Mind Medicine, Inc. to Definium Therapeutics US, Inc.
Definium is a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company developing a new generation of therapeutics intended to address underlying causes of psychiatric and neurological disorders. The Company's mission is to forge a new era of psychiatry by applying scientific rigor to psychedelics, with the goal of developing accessible treatments that unlock healing at scale. This specifically includes pharmaceutically optimized product candidates derived from the psychedelic and empathogen drug classes, including DT120 and DT402, respectively, the Company's lead product candidates.
Liquidity
As of September 30, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of$869.7 million. Through September 30, 2026, the Company’s financial support has primarily been provided by proceeds from the issuance of its common shares, no par value per share (“Common Shares”), warrants to purchase Common Shares, and the Company’s credit facility.
As the Company continues its expansion, it may seek additional financing and/or strategic investments; however, there can be no assurance that any additional financing or strategic investments will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. If events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not obtain additional funding, it will most likely be required to reduce its plans and/or certain discretionary spending, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if it were unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that it has sufficient cash, cash equivalents and investments to fund operations through at least the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, and as a result of this election, the unaudited condensed consolidated finan cial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) standards’ effective dates. The Company may take advantage of these exemptions up until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the first sale of its common equity securities under an effective Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") registration statement, which is December 31, 2026.
BASIS OF pRESENTATION AND Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and as amended by Accounting Standards Updates of FASB. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026 (the “2025 Annual Report”). The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, included in the 2025 Annual Report. Since the date of those financial statements, there have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all investments with an original maturity date at the time of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s cash equivalents consisted of U.S. government money market funds at high-credit quality and U.S. federally insured financial institutions. The Company’s accounts may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company had cash equivalents of$231.6 million as of September 30, 2026, and $255.3 million as of December 31, 2025.
Short-Term Investments
All investments are carried at fair value as determined based upon quoted market prices or pricing models for similar securities at period end. The Company has classified these investments as available-for-sale securities, as the sale of such investments may be required prior to maturity to implement management strategies, and therefore has classified all investments with maturity dates beyond three months at the date of purchase as current assets in the accompanying unaudited balance sheets. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.
The Company reviews its portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities, using both quantitative and qualitative factors, to determine if declines in fair value below cost have resulted from a credit-related loss or other factors. If the decline in fair value is due to credit-related factors, a loss is recognized in the statements of operations, whereas if the decline in fair value is not due to credit-related factors, the loss is recorded in other comprehensive loss. The fair value of the Company's investments was$805.7 million and $153.8 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Net Loss per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders (in thousands, except share and per share amounts). As the exercise price of the Company’s pre-funded warrants is $0.001 per share, it was determined to be non-substantive for accounting purposes and the pre-funded warrants were included in the denominator of both basic and diluted loss per share:

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share due to their anti-dilutive effect:

For the three months ended September 30, 2026,627,259 of 2022 USD Financing Warrants were not included in the table above as they were dilutive.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)which requires public entities to provide additional disclosures about certain expense categories in the income statement. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. As an emerging growth company, the Company is currently evaluating the timing and impact of adoption, including the potential effect of losing emerging growth company status as of December 31, 2026. The Company expects the amendments to primarily impact the presentation and disclosure of research and development and general and administrative expenses.

|---|---|---|
| Share price | $38.06 | $13.39 |
| Expected volatility | 72.87% | 74.32% |

The increase in accrued clinical trial costs was primarily attributable to increased expenses associated with the advancement of the Company's four Phase 3 clinical studies during the period.

Subsequent to this offering, new offerings under the ESPP commence automatically every six months until the earlier of (i) termination or modification by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and (ii) such time when all Common Shares reserved under the ESPP have been issued. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized $0.3 million of expense in relation to its ESPP and issued 66,307 Common Shares under the ESPP.
Stock-based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense for all equity arrangements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was as follows (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |
| Research and development | $4,843 | $2,226 | $11,837 | $6,580 |
| General and administrative | 5,932 | 3,590 | 15,709 | 7,915 |
| Total | $10,775 | $5,816 | $27,546 | $14,495 |
As of September 30, 2026, there was approximately $58.5 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, related to unvested options granted to employees and directors under the 2020 Option Plan, the 2025 Plan, the Inducement Plan or as inducement grants made outside of a plan that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.4 years. As of September 30, 2026, there was approximately $59.6 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, related to RSUs granted to employees under the PRSU Plan, the 2025 Plan, the Inducement Plan or as inducement grants made outside of the plan that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.
Directors' Deferred Share Unit Plan
On April 16, 2021, the Company adopted the Director’s Deferred Share Unit Plan (the “DDSU Plan”). The DDSU Plan sets out a framework to grant non-employee directors DDSUs, which are cash settled awards. The DDSUs generally vest ratably over twelve months after grant and are settled within 90 days of the date the director ceases service to the Company. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, a stock-based compensation benefit of $1.3 million was recognized as a reduction of general and administrative expense, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, stock-based compensation expense of $4.9 million was recognized, in each case relating to the revaluation of the vested DDSUs, and recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, stock-based compensation expense of $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, was recognized relating to the revaluation of the vested DDSUs.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company did not issue any additional DDSUs. There were 199,026 DDSUs vested as of September 30, 2026. The liability associated with the outstanding vested DDSUs was $7.5 million as of September 30, 2026, and was recorded to accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of September 30, 2026, the Company had obligations to make future payments, representing significant research and development contracts and other commitments that are known and committed in the amount of approximately $110.5 million. Most of these agreements are cancelable by the Company with notice. These commitments include agreements related to the conduct of the Company's clinical trials, sponsored research, manufacturing and preclinical studies.
The Company enters into research, development and license agreements in the ordinary course of business where the Company receives research services and rights to proprietary technologies. Milestone and royalty payments that may become due under various agreements are dependent on, among other factors, clinical trials, regulatory approvals and ultimately the successful development of a new drug, the outcome and timing of which are uncertain.
The Company periodically enters into research and license agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions customary in the industry. These guarantees generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of claims arising from research and development activities undertaken by or on behalf of the Company. In some cases, the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required under these indemnification provisions could be unlimited. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The nature of the indemnification obligations prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay. Historically, the Company has not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.
From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company is not a party to any material litigation, and the Company does not currently have any contingencies related to ongoing legal matters.
CREDIT FACILITY
On August 11, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries party thereto, as co-borrowers (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with K2 HealthVentures LLC (“K2HV”), as administrative agent and Canadian collateral agent for lenders thereunder (K2HV, together with any other lender from time to time, the "Lenders"), and Ankura Trust Company, LLC, as collateral trustee for the Lenders, providing for an aggregate principal amount of term loans of up to $50.0 million (the “Term Loans”).
On April 18, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), the Borrowers, entered into the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement with K2HV (as amended by the First Amendment, the “Amended Loan Agreement”).
The Amended Loan Agreement provides for, among other things: (i) an aggregate principal amount of term loans (the “Amendment Term Loans”) of up to $120.0 million, consisting of (A) a new Restatement First Tranche Term Loan (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) of $42.0 million, which was funded on the Effective Date, a portion of the proceeds of which was used on the Effective Date to refinance in full all Term Loans outstanding under the Loan Agreement, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Amended Loan Agreement and the refinancing of the existing Term Loans, (B) subsequent tranches of Amendment Term Loans totaling up to $28.0 million, subject to the occurrence of certain time-based clinical and regulatory milestones and (C) an additional tranche of Amendment Term Loans of up to $50.0 million upon the Company’s request, subject to review by the Lenders of certain information from the Company and discretionary approval by the Lenders, (ii) to the extent any Amendment Term Loans other than the Restatement First Tranche Term Loans are made during the term of the Amended Loan Agreement, a minimum liquidity covenant, beginning on the earlier to occur of (x) July 1, 2026 (which may be extended to July 1, 2027 to the extent the Company has achieved certain fundraising milestones) and (y) the date on which certain clinical and regulatory milestones are not achieved, which covenant shall be waived in any period where the Company’s market capitalization exceeds $500.0 million, (iii) a decrease in the interest rate applicable to all Amendment Term Loans under the Amended Loan Agreement to the greater of (x)10.25% and (y) the sum of (a) the Prime Rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus (b)2.75% per annum, and (iv) a conversion right at the election of the Lenders at any time following the Effective Date and prior to the full repayment of the Amendment Term Loans to convert up to $7.0 million of the outstanding Amendment Term Loans into the Company’s common shares (the “Amendment Conversion Shares”), at conversion prices ranging from $4.01 per Amendment Conversion Share to $9.00 per Amendment Conversion Share. The Company concluded that the conversion feature qualifies for the equity scope exception under ASC Topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging and therefore was not bifurcated as an embedded derivative.
On July 22, 2025, May 27, 2026 and June 25, 2026, under the terms of the Amended Loan Agreement, K2HV converted a total of $5.5 million of the outstanding Amendment Term Loans into 843,393 Common Shares. As of September 30, 2026, K2HV mayconvert up to an additional $1.5 million of the outstanding Amendment Term Loans into Common Shares at a conversion price of $9.00 per Amendment Conversion Share.
The Amendment Term Loans mature on April 1, 2029, provided that upon the occurrence of certain events the maturity date may be extended to October 1, 2029. The obligations of the Borrowers under the Amended Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers, excluding intellectual property. Other than as described above, the proceeds of borrowings under the Amended Loan Agreement have been and are expected to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes and/or to further support commercial activities and/or business development opportunities. Once repaid, the Amendment Term Loans may not be reborrowed. The Company was in compliance with the Amended Loan Agreement as of September 30, 2026.
In accordance with ASC Topic 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, the Company evaluated the Amended Loan Agreement to determine whether it should be accounted for as a modification or extinguishment. As a result of this analysis, the Amended Loan Agreement was accounted for as a modification and no gain or loss was recognized. Transaction costs incurred from or paid on behalf of K2HV of approximately $0.4 million were capitalized as a deferred debt discount and will be amortized over the term of the Amended Loan Agreement. Transaction costs incurred with third parties directly relating to the Amended Loan Agreement were expensed as incurred.
The Company recorded $3.6 million in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Future expected repayments of the principal amount due on the credit facility as of September 30, 2026 were as follows (in thousands):
| Remainder of 2026 | $— |
| 2027 | — |
| 2028 | 23,886 |
| 2029 | 12,614 |
| Total principal repayments | 36,500 |
| Unamortized debt issuance costs | (627) |
| Accrued final payment fee | 788 |
| Total credit facility, non-current, net | $36,661 |
As of September 30, 2026, the Company estimated the fair value of the credit facility to be$40.1 million, assuming $1.5 million of principal (the amount of Conversion Shares in-the-money as of September 30, 2026) is converted into Conversion Shares.
