Current report
Interest and other expense, net decreased by $3.6 million and $3.2 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to the$3.9 million impairment of our investment in MAI during the third quarter of 2024 that did not reoccur in the current year.
Removed paragraphs (1)
Previous report
Interest and other expense, net increased by $1 thousand and $0.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to interest related to long-term debt.

Previous wording
We also use the CodeEvolver platform technology to develop enzymes for the synthesis of RNAi therapeutics through our ECO Synthesis manufacturing platform, where our enzymes are poised to deliver many of the same benefits we offer in pharma biocatalysis across purity, yield, and improved manufacturing efficiency. In November 2024, we presented data at the TIDES EU conference demonstrating the successful end-to-end enzymatic synthesis of an entire commercially approved small interfering ribonucleic acid (“siRNA”) therapeutic asset with the ECO Synthesis manufacturing platform. In addition to using full enzymatic sequential synthesis, adding one nucleotide at a time to synthesize the two strands from beginning to end, we demonstrated synthesis of the same siRNA asset using three other routes utilizing enzymatic ligation with our double-stranded RNA (“dsRNA”) ligase, which can stitch together fragments of chemically and/or enzymatically synthesized RNA to form the full siRNA drug structure. For the three other routes, our data highlighted that full-length oligos of equal quality and yields were obtained whether the fragments were made with enzymes or by traditional phosphoramidite chemistry. At the end of 2024, we completed the build out of our ECO Synthesis Innovation Lab, a facility that uses our ECO Synthesis manufacturing platform to synthesize gram-scale quantities of a customer’s desired siRNA construct suitable for pre-clinical testing. In May 2025, we presented data at the TIDES U.S. conference demonstrating our proprietary ECO Synthesis platform’s ability to support siRNA manufacturing by reducing purification costs, improving process performance, and demonstrating the potential to control stereochemistry. In addition, three presentations from contract development and manufacturing organizations (“CDMO”) validated the transferability of our ligation processes to their in-house facilities. In 2025, we expect to manufacture good laboratory practice (“GLP”)-grade siRNA for customers in our Innovation Lab under development services contracts model, and we anticipate entering a partnership with a large-scale CDMOto use our ECO Synthesis platform of enzymatic tools and processes to synthesize good manufacturing practices (“GMP”)-grade siRNA drug substance for our customers. We expect to expand our enzymatic tools and process offerings as we further enhance the ECO Synthesis platform to address the overall market needs for scalable and sustainable RNAi manufacturing.

On May 2, 2024, we entered into the Cantor Sales Agreement with Cantor, under which Cantor, at our discretion and at such times that we may determine from time to time, may sell up to a maximum of $75.0 million of shares of our common stock. Under the terms of the Cantor Sales Agreement, Cantor may sell the shares at market prices by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. On May 2, 2024, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 registering the offer and sale of these shares under the Securities Act which became effective on May 14, 2024. We will pay a commission of up to 3.0%of gross sales proceeds of any common stock sold under the Cantor Sales Agreement. In 2024, 10,440,000 shares of our common stock were issued and sold pursuant to the Cantor Sales Agreement, all during the third quarter of 2024, and we received net proceeds of $29.7 million after Cantor’s commissions and direct offering expenses. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, 7,244,966 shares of our common stock were issued and sold pursuant to the Cantor Sales Agreement and we received gross proceeds of $17.3 million, or $16.4 million in net proceeds after Cantor’s commissions and direct offering expenses of $0.8 million.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, combined with our future expectations for product revenues, research and development revenue, and expense management will provide adequate funds for ongoing operations, planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our capital resources sooner than we expect.
