Item 1A. Risk Factors

There were no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for the following:

Our proposed acquisition of Melinta is subject to significant uncertainties and risks, including that the Merger may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all, and the failure to complete the Merger may adversely affect our stock price, future business and financial results.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain customary closing conditions being satisfied or waived. There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing will be satisfied or waived or that other events will not intervene to delay or result in the termination of the proposed Merger. If the Merger is not completed for any reason, the trading price of our common stock may decline to the extent that the market price of the common stock reflects positive market assumptions that the Merger will be completed and the related benefits will be realized.

Amendments made to the Merger Agreement may have a material impact on our business, financial results and the trading price of our common stock.

The Merger is expected to be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. However, the Merger Agreement may be amended and the closing conditions may be waived at any time by the parties thereto. Any amendment made to the Merger Agreement, or waiver of the conditions to the closing of the Merger, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations and could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock.

We do not currently control Melinta and will not control Melinta until completion of the Merger.

We do not currently control Melinta. We will not obtain control of Melinta until the completion of the Merger. We cannot assure you that Melinta will operate its businesses during the interim period in the same way that we would. The business we acquire could be negatively impacted before or after the closing as a result of previously unknown events or conditions occurring or existing before the Merger closes. Adverse changes in Melinta’s business or operations could occur or arise as a result of actions undertaken, legal or regulatory developments, deteriorating general business, market, industry or economic conditions, and other factors both within and beyond Melinta’s or our control. A significant decline in the value of the assets to be acquired or a significant increase in the liabilities to be assumed could negatively impact our future business, operating results, cash flows, financial conditions or prospects following the closing of the Merger.

Uncertainties associated with our acquisition of Melinta may cause a loss of management personnel and other key employees, which could adversely affect our future business, operations and financial results.

The acquisition of Melinta could disrupt our and Melinta’s businesses. We are dependent on the experience and industry knowledge of senior management and other key employees to execute our business plans, which could be disrupted by the unanticipated departure of any key member of our management team or employee base, as well as management or key employees of Melinta. Our and Melinta’s current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their roles within our company, which may have an adverse effect on the ability of each of us to attract or retain key management and other key personnel.

Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will be able to attract or retain our and Melinta’s key management personnel and other key employees to the same extent that our companies have previously been able to attract or retain such employees. In addition, because of the specialized and technical nature of our business, our future performance is dependent on the continued service of, and on our ability to attract and retain, qualified management, engineering, technical, marketing and support personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we may be unable to continue to attract or retain such personnel.

We may not be able to enforce claims with respect to the representations and warranties under the Merger Agreement.

In connection with the Merger, we were given certain limited customary representations and warranties related to Melinta’s performance and business operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to enforce any claims relating to any breaches of such representations and warranties. Our recourse for breaches of representations and warranties is limited and there can be no assurance that such limited liability, to the extent enforced, will be adequate to cover any losses or damages resulting from any such breach of the representations and warranties. Moreover, even if we ultimately succeed in recovering any amounts for any such breach, we may temporarily be required to bear these losses ourselves.

We may be unable to successfully integrate our and Melinta’s businesses in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger or do so within the intended timeframe.

We will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the business practices and operations of Melinta with our business. We may be unable to realize the planned synergies from the Merger or other benefits in the timeframe that we expect or at all. We continue to assess synergies that we may realize as a combined company, the realization of which will depend on a number of factors.

The success of the Merger, including anticipated synergies, benefits and cost savings, will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully combine and integrate our current operations with Melinta’s business. If we experience difficulties with the integration process or other unforeseen costs, the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Merger may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. The integration planning and implementation process will result in significant costs and divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on our combined company for an undetermined period after completion of the Merger. In addition, the actual benefits of the Merger could be less than anticipated, or otherwise offset by other factors.

Additional difficulties we may encounter as part of the integration process include the following:

●the costs of integration and compliance and the possibility that the full benefits anticipated to result from our acquisition of Melinta will not be realized;
●any delay in the integration of management teams, strategies, operations, products, product candidates and services;
●diversion of the attention of each company’s management as a result of our acquisition of Melinta;
●the ability to retain key employees;
●the challenge of integrating complex systems, technology, networks and other assets of Melinta into those of ours in a seamless manner that minimizes any adverse impact on customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies;
●potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses or delays associated with the Merger, including costs to integrate Melinta beyond current estimates; and

Any of these factors could adversely affect each company’s ability to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies or our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Merger or could reduce each company’s earnings or otherwise adversely affect our business and financial results after the Merger. These risks are not limited to our acquisition of Melinta and could also apply to our future acquisitions.

Our results after our acquisition of Melinta may suffer if we do not effectively manage our expanded operations following the acquisition.

Following our acquisition of Melinta, the size and complexity of our business will increase significantly beyond the current size of either our or Melinta’s existing business. Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to manage this expanded business, which will pose substantial challenges for management, including challenges related to the management and monitoring of new products and product candidates and associated increased costs and complexity. There can be no assurances that we will be successful after completion of the Merger or that we will realize the expected benefits currently anticipated from our acquisition of Melinta.

The business of Melinta may underperform relative to our expectations.

We may not be able to maintain the levels of revenue, earnings or operating efficiency that we and Melinta have achieved or might achieve separately. The business and financial performance of Melinta is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the risk of the loss of, or changes to, its relationships with its customers. We may be unable to achieve the same growth, revenues and profitability that Melinta has achieved in the past.

Our business may be adversely affected by tariffs, trade sanctions or similar government actions.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, discussions remain ongoing in respect of certain trade restrictions and tariffs on imports from various foreign countries, as well as retaliatory tariffs enacted in response to such actions. In light of these events, there continues to exist significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.S. and other countries with respect to such trade policies, treaties, and tariffs. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the United States. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict our access to potential partners, suppliers or other third parties we seek to do business with and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of such third parties, which in turn would negatively impact us.

We operate in a global economy, and our business depends on a global supply chain for the development, manufacturing, and distribution of our products, and for the advancement of our development programs. There is inherent risk, based on the complex relationships among the U.S. and the countries in which we conduct our business, that political, diplomatic, and national security factors can lead to global trade restrictions and changes in trade policies and export regulations that may adversely affect our business and operations.

We currently rely heavily on third-party manufacturers based in Europe for the manufacture of DefenCath. In addition, excipients and components may be sourced globally by our manufacturers. Tariff policies, particularly those affecting pharmaceutical products, could increase our costs and reduce our profitability. Additionally, recent policy discussions have included potential targeted tariffs or other trade measures specifically aimed at pharmaceutical products and ingredients as part of broader healthcare cost control or national security initiatives. For example, on July 28, 2025, the U.S. government announced a trade deal with the European Union (the “EU”) in which the EU will pay the U.S. a 15% tariff rate on certain products including pharmaceuticals. We are awaiting clarity from the U.S. government on the implementation of the 15% tariff.

Unlike consumer goods, pharmaceuticals face unique regulatory constraints that make rapid supply chain adjustments particularly difficult and costly. Should tariffs be imposed specifically targeting pharmaceutical imports, our production costs could rise, and it would be difficult and costly to qualify alternative sources within another country with a lower tariff rate or within the U.S., as developing and qualifying alternative sources typically requires substantial time, investment, and regulatory approvals.

Unlike many industries, our ability to pass increased costs to customers is limited by the structure of pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement systems. As a result, cost increases due to tariffs may be difficult or impossible to pass through to customers.

Current or future tariffs could also result in increased research and development expenses, including with respect to increased costs associated with raw materials, laboratory equipment and research materials and components. Trade restrictions affecting the import of materials necessary for clinical trials could result in delays to our development timelines. Increased development costs and extended development timelines could place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to companies operating in regions with more favorable trade relationships and could reduce investor confidence and negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects.
