  1. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

September 30, 2025December 31, 2024
Work-in-progress$4,434$7,505
Finished goods2,269767
Inventories$6,703$8,272

We began capitalizing inventory costs associated with ANKTIVA after receiving FDA approval in April 2024 when it was determined that the inventory had a probable future economic benefit.

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and consists of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods. Cost is determined using a standard cost method, which approximates actual cost, and assumes a FIFO flow of goods. Inventory that is used for clinical development purposes is expensed inresearch and development expense, on the condensed consolidated statement of operations when consumed.

The work-in-progress materials consists of bulk drug substance and drug product, which have a multi-year shelf life. When the bulk drug substance is manufactured into ANKTIVA drug product, those goods have a shelf life of three years from the date of manufacture. The work-in-progress drug product gets converted to finished goods at the time of labeling. Our expectation is to sell finished goods at least twelve months prior to expiration. Due to our long manufacturing lead time, it was necessary to build up inventory in support of ANKTIVA forecasted sales. As a result of being in the early stages of the ANKTIVA product launch, the company is continuing to evaluate the length of its operating cycle.

On a quarterly basis, the company analyzes its inventory levels for excess quantities and obsolescence (expiration), taking into account factors such as historical and anticipated future sales compared to quantities on hand and the remaining shelf life. As of September 30, 2025, we determined that a reserve related to ANKTIVA inventory for excess quantities and obsolescence was not required. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the company has not recorded any inventory write downs.

Definite-Lived Intangible Assets

Favorable leasehold rights

In connection with the acquisition of the Dunkirk Facility in 2022, we acquired definite-lived intangibles consisting of favorable leasehold rights.

We recorded amortization expense of our favorable leasehold rights totaling $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, inresearch and development expense, on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. No impairments were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Developed technology

In connection with the acquisition of VBC in 2015, we acquired IPR&D that was initially recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. As of June 30, 2025, we reported the IPR&D as an indefinite-lived asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the R&D efforts were deemed complete, and therefore we assigned an estimated useful life offive years to the developed technology. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded animmaterial amount of amortization expense of our developed technology inresearch and development expense, on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the company had developed technology intangible assets of $0.5 million. No impairments were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill

In September 2024, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with an unrelated party pursuant to which the company acquired the rights to hire its workforce and purchase certain office equipment in exchange for consideration of $1.0 million, net of transaction costs. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The fair value of the acquired identifiable net assets was $0.1 million. We recognized the remaining $0.9 million as goodwill. No goodwill impairment was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Future amortization expense associated with our definite-lived intangible assets, net is as follows (in thousands):

Convertible Note Receivable

In 2016, we executed a convertible promissory note pursuant to which we advanced Riptide a principal amount of $5.0 million. The note bears interest at a per annum rate of five percent (5%). Concurrent with the transaction, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Riptide to obtain worldwide exclusive rights, with the right to sublicense, certain know-how related to RP-182, RP-233 and RP-183. We are required to pay a single-digit royalty on net sales of the licensed products on a country-by-country basis. Pursuant to the license agreement, we are also required to make cash milestone payments upon successful completion of certain clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones up to an aggregate amount of $47.0 million for the first three indications of the licensed product with a maximum payment amount of $100.0 million.

In 2019, we entered into a first amendment to the convertible promissory note with Riptide. Under the agreement, we extended the maturity of the promissory note to the earlier of (a) the later of (i) the completion of non-clinical IND enabling studies by the company, or (ii) December 31, 2020; and (b) when we accelerate the maturity of the note upon the occurrence of an event of default. No other terms and conditions of the promissory note were modified. Concurrently, we also entered into a first amendment to the exclusive license agreement with Riptide and extended the achievement dates for certain clinical trial milestones related to the licensed products. The convertible note receivable balance was $7.3 million and $7.1 million, which included accrued interest of $2.3 million and $2.1 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Investments in Marketable Equity Securities

We held investments in marketable equity securities with readily determinable fair value. See Note 9 “Fair Value Measurements” for more information.

Investment in Other Equity Security

In August 2024, the company entered into a SAFE with an unrelated party in exchange for the right to acquire certain shares of the investee. Upon the closing of equity financing by the investee prior to the termination of the SAFE, the SAFE will convert into preferred shares. We elected to apply the measurement alternative under FASB ASC Topic 321, Investments—Equity Securities(ASC 321), pursuant to which we measure our investment in the SAFE at cost, less impairment. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we held an investment in the SAFE of $0.7 million inother assets, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. We evaluate this investment for any indications of impairment in value on a quarterly basis. No factors indicative of impairment were identified during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

(1)Contingent consideration is recorded at estimated fair value and revalued each reporting period until the related contingency is resolved. The fair value measurement is based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (i.e., a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy) and are reviewed periodically by management. See Note 11 “Commitments and Contingencies—Contingent Consideration Related to Business Combinations” for more information.Changes in fair value of contingent consideration were immaterial during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and were primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Non-Recurring Valuations

Non-financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value subsequent to initial recognition when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. There were no material non-financial assets or liabilities deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired and measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

We measured the fair value of the promissory notes and the embedded conversion features as of December 10, 2024, upon debt amendments to determine the accounting treatment, using a “with and without” method. We used binomial lattice models for the “with” scenario and discounted cash flow analyses for the “without” scenario. Since certain of the factors analyzed are considered to be unobservable inputs, both the lattice model and the discounted cash flow model are considered to be a Level 3 valuation. See Note 14 “Related-Party Debt” for more information.

  1. Collaboration and License Agreements and Acquisition

Collaboration Agreement

Amyris Joint Venture

In 2021, ImmunityBio and Amyris entered into a 50:50 joint venture arrangement and formed a new limited liability company to conduct the business of the joint venture. The purpose of the joint venture was to accelerate commercialization of a next-generation COVID-19 vaccine utilizing an RNA vaccine-platform. As part of the limited liability agreement, Amyris contributed $1.0 million in cash and rights to its license agreement with AAHI for an RNA platform for the field of COVID-19. ImmunityBio contributed $1.0 million in cash and priority access to its manufacturing capacity for the joint venture product. Both parties agreed to enter into a separate manufacturing and supply agreement and a sublicense agreement following the execution of the joint venture agreement.

The joint venture agreement stipulates the initial terms for equal representation in the management of the newly-formed joint venture. The joint venture is managed by a board of directors consisting of four directors: two appointed by the company and two appointed by Amyris. Both parties agreed to make additional capital contributions in cash, in proportion to their respective interests, as determined by the board of directors of the joint venture.

We considered the joint venture entity as a VIE and determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. We account for our investment in the joint venture using the equity method of accounting. We are not obligated to fund the joint venture’s potential future losses. In August 2023, Amyris announced that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The Amyris bankruptcy case remains ongoing, and there can be no assurance that we will receive any recovery on account of our claims against Amyris, including for Amyris’ portion of expenses incurred by the joint venture. As of September 30, 2025, the carrying amount of our equity investment in the joint venture waszero.

License Agreements

3M IPC and AAHI License Agreement

We have licensed rights to 3M-052, a synthetic TLR7/8 agonist, 3M-052 formulations and related technology from 3M IPC and its affiliates and AAHI. In 2021 we obtained nonexclusive rights in the field of SARS-CoV-2 and in June 2022 we modified those rights and expanded the scope of the license to include (1) SARS-CoV-2 and other infectious diseases including malaria, HIV, tuberculosis, hookworm and varicella zoster on an exclusive basis in countries other than low- and middle-income countries, and (2) oncology applications, when used in combination with our proprietary technology and/or IL-15 receptor superagonist. In consideration for the license, we agreed to make certain periodic license payments, including $2.25 million each year through June 2025. We have also agreed to make payments upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestone events and tiered royalties ranging from the low to high single-digits as a percentage of net sales. Beginning in April 2026, the annual minimum licensing payment is $1.0 million, which can be credited against any royalty payments due under this agreement.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $0.6 million inresearch and development expense, on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $1.7 million inresearch and development expense, on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

AAHI Agreements

In 2021, ImmunityBio and AAHI entered into several agreements, including an RNA vaccine platform license agreement, an adjuvant formulation license agreement, and a sponsored research agreement (collectively, the “AAHI Agreements”). ImmunityBio is no longer pursuing development of the AAHI RNA platform and related technology it had licensed from AAHI in 2021. During the second half of 2024, the parties reached an agreement whereby ImmunityBio would owe no future payments to AAHI under the AAHI Agreements, ImmunityBio would return the licenses to AAHI, the AAHI Agreements were terminated, and each party mutually released and had no continuing obligations to the other.

With respect to the license agreements, we recorded $1.4 million and $4.2 million inresearch and development expense, on the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. We recordedno expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 related to these agreements.

With respect to the sponsored research agreement, we recorded $0.8 million, inresearch and development expense, on the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We recordedno expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and three months ended September 30, 2024 related to this agreement.

Acquisition

Dunkirk Facility Leasehold Interest

On February 14, 2022, we completed the acquisition of the Dunkirk Facility (approximately 409,000 rentable square feet) from Athenex. We believe this facility has the potential to provide us with a state-of-the-art biotech production center that will substantially expand and diversify our existing manufacturing capacity in the U.S. and the ability to scale production associated with certain of our product candidates. The company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition because the Dunkirk Facility’s integrated set of assets and activities does not meet the definition of a business.

Upon the closing of the Dunkirk transaction, the company became the tenant of the Dunkirk Facility under the Fort Schuyler Management Corporation Lease, dated October 1, 2021 and as amended as of the February 14, 2022 closing date (as amended, the Dunkirk Lease), with the FSMC as landlord. The Dunkirk Facility, as well as certain equipment, is owned by the FSMC and is leased to us under the Dunkirk Lease. Our annual lease payment will be $2.00 per year for an initial 10-year term, withone option to renew the lease under substantially the same terms and conditions for an additional 10-year term. As part of the transaction, we assumed certain of Athenex’s obligations under various third-party agreements (the Facility Agreements), subject to the terms and conditions of the purchase agreement by and between the company and Athenex dated as of January 7, 2022, and

committed to spend an aggregate of $1.52 billion on operational expenses during the initial term, and an additional $1.50 billion on operational expenses if we elect to renew the lease forone additional 10-year term. We also committed to hiring 450 employees at the Dunkirk Facility within the first five years following the Commencement Date, with 300 such employees to be hired within the first 2.5 years following the Commencement Date. We are eligible for certain sales-tax exemption savings during the development of the Dunkirk Facility, and certain property tax savings over the next 20 years, subject to certain terms and conditions, including performance of certain of the obligations described above. Failure to satisfy the obligations over the lease term may give rise to certain rights and remedies of governmental authorities including, for example, termination of the Dunkirk Lease and other Facility Agreements and potential recoupment of a percentage of the grant funding received by Athenex for construction of the facility and other benefits received, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreements.

We believe that the Dunkirk Facility has construction needs that may require approximately 12 to 18 months to complete in order for it to be used as intended, and which needs remain as a result of an ongoing dispute with the Dunkirk Facility’s general contractor and a stay in resolving the dispute related to Athenex’s ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, as described below. In addition, and related to the delayed completion of the facility, in November 2024 we received written notice from our landlord alleging non-compliance with the initial employee headcount requirement of our lease for the Dunkirk Facility. While we are seeking to resolve this matter expeditiously, there can be no assurance that we will succeed in doing so, and we may lose access to the Dunkirk Facility.

Although we believe that governmental funding will assist in funding a portion of the further buildout of the Dunkirk Facility, which we estimate to be approximately $8.0 million to $10.0 million of governmental funding remaining available as of September 30, 2025, there can be no assurance as to the final acceptance and timing of the requests for governmental funding that we submit, and we will need to plan and fund most of the additional buildout of, and purchase additional equipment for, the Dunkirk Facility in connection with our planned full operations. In addition, any future governmental funding will be subject to the eligibility of submitted expenses, as well as our compliance with the obligations that we are subject to pursuant to the agreements with parties regarding the Dunkirk Facility as described above. Further, on May 14, 2023, Athenex, together with certain of its subsidiaries, filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the Athenex Proceedings). We do not know what, if any, impact the Athenex Proceedings will have on any portion of the potential governmental funding remaining for the Dunkirk Facility.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingent Consideration Related to Business Combinations

VivaBioCell, S.p.A.

In April 2015, NantWorks, a related party, acquired a 100% interest in VivaBioCell through its wholly-owned subsidiary, VBC Holdings for $0.7 million, less working capital adjustments. In June 2015, NantWorks contributed its equity interest in VBC Holdings to the company, in exchange for cash consideration equal to its cost basis in the investment. VivaBioCell develops bioreactors and products based on cell culture and tissue engineering in Italy.

In connection with our acquisition of VBC, we are obligated to pay the former owners contingent consideration upon the achievement of certain milestones related to the GMP-in-a-Box technology. If a government agency unconditionally approves the GMP-in-a-Box technology for commercial sale (the regulatory milestone) in the future, we will be obligated to pay an additional approximately $2.3 million to the former owners.

Altor BioScience LLC

In connection with our 2017 acquisition of Altor, we issued CVRs under which we agreed to pay the prior stockholders of Altor approximately $304.0 million of contingent consideration upon calendar-year worldwide net sales of ANKTIVA exceeding $1.0 billion prior to December 31, 2026, with amounts payable in cash or shares of our common stock or a combination thereof. As the transaction was recorded as an asset acquisition, future CVR payments will be recorded when the corresponding events are probable of achievement or the consideration becomes payable. As of September 30, 2025, Dr. Soon-Shiong, our Founder, Executive Chairman and Global Chief Scientific and Medical Officer, and his related party hold approximately $139.8 million of net sales CVRs, and they have both irrevocably agreed to receive shares of the company’s common stock in satisfaction of their CVRs. We may be required to pay the other prior Altor stockholders up to $164.2 million for their net sales CVRs should they choose to have their CVRs paid in cash instead of common stock.

Litigation

From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal proceedings relating to claims arising out of our operations. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. If we are served with any such complaints, we will assess at that time any contingencies for which we may need to reserve. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Shenzhen Beike Biotechnology Co. Ltd. Arbitration

In 2020, we received a Request for Arbitration before the International Chamber of Commerce, International Court of Arbitration. The arbitration relates to a license, development, and commercialization agreement that Altor entered into with Beike in 2014, which agreement was amended and restated in 2017, pursuant to which Altor granted to Beike an exclusive license to use, research, develop and commercialize products based on ANKTIVA in China for human therapeutic uses. In the arbitration, Beike is asserting a claim for breach of contract under the license agreement. Among other things, Beike alleges that we failed to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Beike materials and data related to ANKTIVA. Beike is seeking specific performance and declaratory relief for the alleged breaches. On September 25, 2020, the parties entered into a standstill and tolling agreement (standstill agreement) under which, among other things, the parties affirmed they will perform certain of their obligations under the license agreement by specified dates and agreed that all deadlines in the arbitration are indefinitely extended. The standstill agreement could be terminated by any party on ten calendar days’ notice, and upon termination, the parties had the right to pursue claims arising from the license agreement in any appropriate tribunal. On March 20, 2023, we terminated the standstill agreement, and on April 11, 2023, Beike served an amended Request for Arbitration. We served an Answer and Counterclaims on May 19, 2023. Beike served a Reply to our counterclaims on June 21, 2023. Beike served its

Statement of Claim on March 22, 2024, the company served its Statement of Defense and Counterclaim on June 21, 2024, and Beike served its Statement of Defense to the Counterclaim on August 2, 2024. After the parties completed discovery, Beike served its Reply and Defense to Counterclaim on January 17, 2025, we served our Rejoinder and Response to Defense to Counterclaim on March 14, 2025, and Beike served its Rejoinder on Counterclaim on March 28, 2025. The hearing in the arbitration was held from June 9, 2025 through June 13, 2025, and post-hearing briefing will continue through November 2025. It remains too early to evaluate the likely outcome of the case or to estimate any range of potential loss. We believe the claims asserted against the company lack merit.

Securities Class Action

On June 30, 2023, a putative securities class action complaint, captioned Salzman v. ImmunityBio, Inc. et al., No. 3:23-cv-01216-GPC-VET, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against the company and three of its officers and/or directors, asserting violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Stemming from the company’s disclosure on May 11, 2023 that it had received an FDA CRL stating, among other things, that it could not approve the company’s BLA for its then product candidate, ANKTIVA with BCG for the treatment of adult patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with CIS with or without papillary tumors, in its present form due to deficiencies related to its pre-license inspection of the company’s third-party CMOs, the complaint alleges that the defendants had previously made materially false and misleading statements and/or omitted material adverse facts regarding its third-party CMOs and the prospects for regulatory approval of the BLA. The complaint did not specify the amount of damages being sought. On September 27, 2023, the court appointed a lead plaintiff, approved their selection of lead counsel, and re-captioned the case In re ImmunityBio, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 3:23-cv-01216. On November 17, 2023, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which named the same defendants and asserted the same claims as the previous complaint. On January 8, 2024, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On June 20, 2024, the court issued an order granting in part and denying in part the motion to dismiss. On July 16, 2024, the lead plaintiff notified the court that he would proceed with his current pleading, and the defendants answered the complaint on August 29, 2024. On January 25, 2025, following a mediation and the parties’ agreement in principle to settle the securities class action for $10.5 million, the lead plaintiff filed an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of class action settlement. On March 17, 2025, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement. On June 16, 2025, following a final approval hearing, the court granted final approval of the settlement. The lawsuit is now fully resolved.

As a result of the foregoing, the company recorded legal settlement expense of $10.5 million inselling, general and administrative expense, on the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2024 and a corresponding amount inaccrued expenses and other liabilities, on the consolidated balance sheet. Approximately $6.0 million of this amount has since been paid by the company’s insurers, which was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the company paid the remaining $4.5 million due under the settlement agreement.

Van Luven, Barbieri and Shin Derivative Actions

On October 29, 2024, a shareholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against the members of our Board of Directors and certain officers, captioned Van Luven v. Soon-Shiong et al., Case No. 3:24-cv-02014-GPC-VET. The plaintiff purports to bring the action derivatively on behalf of ImmunityBio, and ImmunityBio is a nominal defendant to the action. Stemming from the company’s May 11, 2023 disclosure that it had received an FDA CRL stating, among other things, that it could not approve the company’s BLA for its then product candidate, ANKTIVA with BCG for the treatment of adult patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with CIS with or without papillary tumors, in its present form due to deficiencies related to its pre-license inspection of the company’s third-party CMOs, the derivative complaint alleges that the individual defendants authorized or permitted materially false and misleading statements and/or omitted material adverse facts regarding ImmunityBio’s third-party CMOs and the prospects for regulatory approval of the ANKTIVA BLA. The derivative complaint asserts claims for violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act as well as claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets. The derivative complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of the company, disgorgement or restitution, declaratory relief, and an award of costs and expenses to the derivative plaintiff, including attorneys’ fees. The court entered an order extending the defendants’ deadline to respond to the complaint to May 30, 2025.

On February 25, 2025, a second shareholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against certain members of our Board of Directors and certain officers, captioned Barbieri v. Soon-Shiong, et al., Case No. 3:25-cv-00416-AGS-JLB. The plaintiff purports to bring the action derivatively on behalf of ImmunityBio, and ImmunityBio is a nominal defendant in the action. This lawsuit asserts substantially similar claims and allegations as Van Luven. The court entered an order extending the defendants’ deadline to respond to the complaint to May 30, 2025.

On February 26, 2025, a third shareholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against certain current and former members of our Board of Directors and certain officers, captioned Shin v. Soon-Shiong, et al., Case No. 3:25-cv-00423-JAH-DDL. The plaintiff purports to bring the action derivatively on behalf of ImmunityBio, and ImmunityBio is a nominal defendant in the action. This lawsuit asserts substantially similar claims and allegations as Van Luven. The court entered an order extending the defendants’ deadline to respond to the complaint to May 30, 2025.

On May 2, 2025, the court entered an order consolidating these three shareholder derivative actions. On May 22, 2025, the parties in the consolidated derivative action notified the court that they had entered into a Stipulation and Settlement Agreement to settle the consolidated derivative action for corporate governance reforms and attorneys’ fees. On May 30, 2025, the plaintiffs filed an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of the settlement. On July 29, 2025, the court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement and setting a final approval hearing for November 4, 2025.

Carlson Derivative Action

On November 20, 2024, a shareholder derivative action was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the company’s Founder, Executive Chairman, Global Chief Scientific and Medical Officer and principal stockholder, Dr. Soon-Shiong, certain affiliates of Dr. Soon-Shiong, certain other members of management, and members of the company’s Board of Directors who serve on the Board of Directors’ Related Party Transaction Committee, captioned Carlson v. Soon-Shiong, et al., Case No. 2024-1195-VCL. The plaintiff purports to bring the action derivatively on behalf of ImmunityBio, and ImmunityBio is a nominal defendant to the action. The plaintiff alleges that the previously disclosed September 2023 financing transactions between the company and Dr. Soon-Shiong and his affiliates were not fair to the company. In particular, the plaintiff alleges that the transactions were timed to benefit Dr. Soon-Shiong and his affiliates during a temporary decline in the company’s stock price, resulting in an artificially low conversion price for certain convertible promissory notes that were among the transactions, when defendants knew the company’s stock price would increase following the company’s imminent resubmission of a BLA for, and the subsequent FDA approval of, ANKTIVA with BCG for the treatment of adult patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with CIS with or without papillary tumors. The complaint alleges that defendants breached their fiduciary duties by entering into these transactions at that time and on those terms, thereby unjustly enriching Dr. Soon-Shiong and his affiliates. The derivative complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of the company, corporate governance changes with respect to related-party transactions, and an award of costs and expenses to the derivative plaintiff, including attorneys’ fees. On February 17, 2025, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint.

On May 2, 2025, instead of filing an opposition to defendants’ motion to dismiss, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. This amended complaint added certain additional members of the company’s Board of Directors as defendants but did not add new claims. On July 16, 2025, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint to which plaintiffs have filed an opposition. The defendants’ reply brief in support of the motion is due November 19, 2025.

Commitments

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we did not enter into any significant contracts, other than those disclosed in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

In addition to those commitments already disclosed, we have conditional contractual commitments that are expected to be paid in fiscal year 2026 and beyond based on the achievement of various development, regulatory and commercial milestones for agreements with third parties. These payments may not be realized or may be modified and are contingent upon the occurrence of various future events, substantially all of which have a high degree of uncertainty of occurring. As of September 30, 2025, the maximum amount that may be payable related to these commitments is $41.2 million.

In addition, we are also a party to various contracts with CROs and CMOs that generally provide for termination on notice, with the exact amounts in the event of termination to be based on the timing of the termination and the terms of the agreement. There have been no material changes in unconditional purchase commitments from those disclosed in Note 9 “Commitments and Contingencies” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” that appears in Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Annual Report filed with the SEC on March 3, 2025.

  1. Lease Arrangements

We lease property in multiple facilities across the U.S. and Italy, including facilities located in El Segundo, CA and the Dunkirk Facility in upstate New York. Substantially all of our operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities relate to facilities leases. All of our finance leases are related to equipment rentals. See Note 15 “Related-Party Agreements” for more information about our related-party leases.

Our leases generally have initial terms ranging fromtwo toten years and often include one or more options to renew. These renewal terms can extend the lease term fromone toten years and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option.

On May 27, 2025, we entered into an amendment to an existing operating lease of office space, which was initially scheduled to expire on December 31, 2025. We executed the first option to extend the lease through December 31, 2030, with no changes to any of the other terms of the lease. We have a second option to extend the lease for an additional five years. Management has identified this extension as a reassessment event as we elected to exercise the lease extension option, which was previously determined that it was not reasonably certain to do so. We reassessed the discount rate at the remeasurement date, at 11.8% and we remeasured the operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet based on the reassessed discount rate, remaining lease term and lease payments. We determined that the lease extension has no effect on the classification of the lease. In addition, we also determined that the second option to extend the lease is not reasonably certain to be exercised.

Prior to the extension, the remaining lease liability amounted to $0.6 million. On the date of the extension, we determined that the value of the new operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability was $4.6 million, respectively. As such, as of June 30, 2025, the company recorded an increase in lease liability of $4.0 million because of the lease extension.

There have been no other material changes related to our existing lease agreements from those disclosed in Note 10 “Lease Arrangements” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” that appears in Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Annual Report filed with the SEC on March 3, 2025.

  1. Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement

Revenue Interest Liability

On December 29, 2023, we entered into the RIPA with Infinity and Oberland. Pursuant to the RIPA, Oberland acquired certain initial Revenue Interests from us for a gross purchase price of $200.0 million paid on closing, less $7.5 million of issuance costs. Oberland had the option to purchase additional Revenue Interests from us in exchange for a $100.0 million Second Payment upon satisfaction of certain conditions in the RIPA, including receipt of approval from the FDA of our BLA for ANKTIVA on or before June 30, 2024.

In April 2024, the FDA approved our product ANKTIVA and as a result, on May 13, 2024 Oberland purchased additional Revenue Interests from us for a gross purchase price of $100.0 million, less $3.1 million of issuance costs. The issuance costs incurred are being amortized to interest expense over the estimated term of the debt.

As consideration for the aforementioned payments, Oberland has the right to receive quarterly Revenue Interest Payments from us based on, among other things, a certain percentage of our net sales during such quarter, which are tiered payments ranging from 4.5% to 10.0% (before funding of the Second Payment,3.0% to 7.0%) of the company’s worldwide net sales, excluding those in China.

If the aggregate Revenue Interest Payments made to Oberland as of December 31, 2029 (Test Date) equal or exceed the Cumulative Purchaser Payments ($300.0 million) as of that date, the initially tiered revenue interest rate will be decreased to a single rate of 2.25% (before the funding of the Second Payment,1.50%) of the company’s worldwide net sales, excluding those in China. If the aggregate Revenue Interest Payments made to Oberland as of the Test Date are less than the aggregate amount of Cumulative Purchaser Payments as of the Test Date, then following the Test Date the initially tiered revenue interest rate will increase to a rate that, had such increased rate applied during the period from December 29, 2023 through December 31, 2029, it would have resulted in Oberland receiving aggregate Revenue Interest Payments (excluding certain payments detailed in the RIPA) equal to the Cumulative Purchaser Payments as of the Test Date. In addition, if aggregate Revenue Interest Payments made to Oberland as of the Test Date are less than the aggregate amount of Cumulative Purchaser Payments as of the Test Date, then the company must make the True-Up Payment.

Oberland’s rights to receive Revenue Interest Payments under the RIPA shall terminate when Oberland has received payments (including any True-Up Payment) equal to 195.0% of the then Cumulative Purchaser Payments unless the RIPA is terminated prior to such date (subject to certain Call/Put Option scenarios as described below). If Oberland has not received total payments (including any True-Up Payment) equal to 195.0% of the then Cumulative Purchaser Payments on or before the twelfth anniversary of the RIPA, then the company shall be obligated to pay to Oberland an amount equal to 195.0% of the then Cumulative Purchaser Payments less the aggregate payments (including any True-Up Payments) made as of such date.

The company’s obligations under the RIPA are guaranteed by certain of its subsidiaries meeting materiality thresholds set forth in the RIPA. To secure the company’s obligations under the RIPA and the subsidiary guarantors’ obligations under the guarantees, each of the company and the subsidiary guarantors has granted a security interest in substantially all its assets, subject to certain exceptions and limitations.

The RIPA contains affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including covenants and restrictions that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional liens, incur additional indebtedness, make loans and investments, enter into transactions with affiliates, engage in mergers and acquisitions, engage in asset sales and exclusive licensing arrangements, and declare dividends to our stockholders, in each case, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the RIPA. As of September 30, 2025, the company was in compliance with all covenants.

The RIPA is considered a sale of future revenues and is accounted for as long-term debt recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The company imputes interest expense associated with this liability using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is calculated based on the rate that would enable the debt to be repaid in full over the anticipated life of the arrangement. The interest rate on this liability may vary during the term of the agreement depending on a number of factors, including the level of forecasted net sales. The company evaluates the interest rate quarterly based on its current net sales forecasts utilizing the prospective method. A significant increase or decrease in actual or forecasted net sales may materially impact the revenue interest liability, embedded derivative liabilities, other income (expense), net, and the time period for repayment.

On December 10, 2024, the company entered into an amendment to the RIPA to add additional conditions to the payment of certain existing indebtedness. Such amendment did not have an impact on the valuation of the revenue interest liability or the embedded derivative liabilities related to the RIPA.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded $12.3 million and $39.2 million of interest expense, respectively, related to this arrangement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $10.9 million and $28.2 million of interest expense, respectively, related to this arrangement.

The following table summarizes the revenue interest liability activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (in thousands):

Embedded Derivative Liabilities

RIPA Derivative Liability

Under the RIPA, the company has a Call Option to terminate the RIPA and repurchase the Revenue Interests at any time upon advance written notice, subject to certain limitations set forth in the RIPA. Additionally, Oberland has a Put Option enabling them to terminate the RIPA and to require the company to repurchase the Revenue Interests upon enumerated events, such as a bankruptcy event, failure to make a payment, an uncured material breach, default in certain third-party agreements, a breach or default under any subordination agreements with respect to indebtedness to existing stockholders, or subordinated notes during certain time periods, judgments in excess of certain amounts against the company, a material adverse effect, the loss of regulatory approval of our product candidates or a change of control.

The required purchase price with respect to the Call Option and/or Put Option, as applicable, shall be (a)120.0% of the Cumulative Purchaser Payments as of such date, if Oberland exercises the Put Option (other than in connection with a change of control) on or prior to the first anniversary the Closing Date, (b)135.0% of the Cumulative Purchaser Payments as of such date, if the Put Option or the Call Option is exercised in connection with a change of control on or prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, and (c) in all other cases, (i)175.0% of the Cumulative Purchaser Payments as of such date, if the Put Option or the Call Option is exercised no later than the date that is thirty six (36) months after the Closing Date, and (ii)195.0% of the Cumulative Purchaser Payments as of such date, if the Put Option or the Call Option is exercised later than the date that is thirty six (36) months after the Closing Date, minus, in each case, the total payments made to Oberland on or prior to such date.

The aforementioned Call and Put Options are considered embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation as a single compound derivative instrument. The company estimated the fair value of the derivative liability using a “with-and-without” method. The “with-and-without” methodology involves valuing the whole instrument on an as-is basis and then valuing the instrument without the individual embedded derivative. The difference between the entire instrument with the embedded derivative compared to the instrument without the embedded derivative is the fair value of the derivative liability.

The company recorded $34.5 million for the initial fair value of the derivative liability upon the closing of the initial $200.0 million Revenue Interests acquired by Oberland. The company recorded an incremental $6.2 million for the fair value of the derivative liability upon the closing of the additional $100.0 million Revenue Interests acquired by Oberland in May 2024. The initial and incremental fair value allocated to the derivative liability is recorded against the RIPA as a debt discount, which is being amortized ininterest expense, on the condensed consolidated statement of operations over the expected term of the debt using the effective interest method. Such embedded derivative is classified inderivative liabilities, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The derivative is subsequently remeasured at fair value each reporting period using a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation technique, with the change in fair value being recorded in change in fair value of derivative liabilities, on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The estimated probability and timing of underlying events triggering the exercisability of the Put Option contained in the RIPA, forecasted cash flows and the discount rate are significant unobservable inputs used to determine the estimated fair value of the entire instrument with the embedded derivative. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the discount rate used for valuation of the derivative liability was 9.6% and 10.4%, respectively.

The change in fair value of the derivative liability is as follows (in thousands):

Stock Purchase and Option Agreement

On December 29, 2023 and in connection with the RIPA, we entered into a SPOA with Oberland. Under this agreement, Oberland had an option to purchase up to $10.0 million of our common stock, at a price per share to be determined by reference to the 30-day trailing volume weighted-average price of our common stock, calculated from the date of exercise. The option is exercisable by Oberland at any time until the earliest of (i) December 29, 2028, (ii) a change of control of the company, or (iii) a sale of substantially all of the company’s assets. Among other limitations, the option may only be exercised to the extent that the common stock issuable pursuant to such exercise would not exceed 19.9% of the common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

This stock purchase option was considered as a derivative liability estimated at fair value at issuance. The initial $200.0 million received pursuant to the RIPA and $10.0 million received pursuant to the SPOA were allocated among the resulting financial instruments on a relative fair value basis, with $197.1 million allocated to the debt under the RIPA, $12.0 million allocated to the common stock issued under the SPOA, and $0.8 million allocated to the stock purchase option as of December 31, 2023.

In April 2024, Oberland exercised part of their option and purchased 858,990 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.8208 per share generating net proceeds of approximately $4.9 million. In relation to this transaction, we recorded $7.6 million inadditional paid-in capital, on the consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit during the year ended December 31, 2024. Following such exercise, approximately $5.0 million remains available for future exercise under the SPOA as of September 30, 2025. This option expires on December 29, 2028.

This stock purchase option is classified in derivative liabilities, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at its fair value and is subsequently remeasured at fair value each reporting period, with the change in fair value being recorded in change in fair value of derivative liabilities, on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The estimated fair value of the stock option purchase liability was computed using a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation technique which calculated exercise price and discounted back to a present value at the risk-free rate with the following unobservable assumptions at the following dates:

$505 million December 2024 Promissory Note

On December 10, 2024, in connection with an equity offering, the company and Nant Capital entered into a second amended and restated promissory note. Pursuant to the terms of the second amended and restated promissory note, Tranche 1 of the December 2023 Promissory Note with a principal amount of $125.0 million and Tranche 2 of the December 2023 Promissory Note with a principal amount of $380.0 million were combined into one convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $505.0 million with a maturity date of December 31, 2027. The $505.0 million December 2024 Promissory Note bears an interest rate of Term SOFR plus 8.0% per annum, payable on a quarterly basis. Pursuant to the terms of the second amended and restated promissory note, the noteholder, in its sole discretion, may convert all of the outstanding principal amount into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $5.4270 per share. In addition, the noteholder can request up to $50.0 million of the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest to be repaid upon consummation of a specified transaction. Also, on December 10, 2024, the company received a written notice from Nant Capital, the holder of the $30.0 million March 2023 Promissory Note due on December 31, 2025 and the $200.0 million September 2023 Promissory Note due on September 11, 2026 of its election to convert the entire outstanding principal and accrued interest of such promissory notes into shares of the company’s common stock (the Converted Promissory Notes). As of December 10, 2024, the total outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest due under the Converted Promissory Notes were converted into shares of the company’s common stock.

Since the $505.0 million December 2024 Promissory Note, together with the Converted Promissory Notes, were executed contemporaneously and in contemplation with one another with entities under common control, the company evaluated these transactions collectively as a single unit of account to accurately capture the economics of the transactions. The company determined the fair value of the conversion feature before and after the above transactions to assess whether there is a substantial change in fair value. The company used binomial lattice models for the “with” scenario and discounted cash flow model for the “without” scenario. The company determined that the fair value of the conversion feature before modification is substantially different than the fair value after modification, and as such, these transactions were accounted for as debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50. Under this model, the company calculated a gain on debt extinguishment of $10.4 million, which represents the difference between the: (a) fair value of the December 2024 Promissory Note and the reacquisition price of the Converted Promissory Notes on the date of conversion; and (b) carrying value of the extinguished debt, net of any unamortized related party notes discounts plus, the debt premium previously recognized inadditional paid-in capital, on the consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit as a result of the December 29, 2023 Debt Extinguishment. Since the debt was obtained from entities under common control, such gain on extinguishment was recorded inadditional paid-in capital, on the consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit.

Due to the conversion of the Converted Promissory Notes, the company also recorded $188.5 million inadditional paid-in capital, on the consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2024. This represents the difference between the reacquisition price of the Converted Promissory Notes on the date of conversion and the debt premium previously recognized inadditional paid-in capital, on the consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit as a result of the December 29, 2023 Debt Extinguishment.

The company elected the fair value option for recognizing the $505.0 million December 2024 Promissory Note under ASC 825-10-15-4.

Mandatory Prepayment Feature

The embedded derivative related to a contingently exercisable prepayment feature, which allows the noteholder to request up to a $50.0 million prepayment and accrued interest upon occurrence of a specified transaction (defined in the promissory note) was recorded as a derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheet and measured at fair value prior to the second amended and restated promissory note. The fair value of the derivative liability was determined at each period end using the “with-and-without” method, which assessed the likelihood and timing of a specified transaction that if triggered could have resulted in a repayment. Changes in the fair value of the derivative liability were reported inchange in fair value of derivative liabilities, on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Since the company elected the fair value option to account for the $505.0 million December 2024 Promissory Note, the embedded derivative is no longer required to be recorded separately but is considered when estimating the fair value of the $505.0 million December 2024 Promissory Note.

Expected dividend yield——————
Risk-free interest rate3.7%4.2%3.6%4.0%3.7%3.9%

The expected term is the time remaining until the expiration of the warrants. The expected average volatility was estimated based on the historical and implied volatility of our common stock.

The expected term was estimated using the average of the contractual term and the weighted-average vesting term of the options. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury’s rates for U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being valued. The expected volatility was estimated based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The expected dividend yield was based on our expectation of not paying dividends for the foreseeable future.

As of September 30, 2025, there was $27.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the total fair value of RSUs vested was $4.3 million and $12.4 million, respectively.

RSUs awarded to employees and consultants of affiliated companies are accounted for as stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), as the compensation was in exchange for continued support or services expected to be provided to the company over the vesting periods under the NantWorks shared services agreement discussed in Note 15 “Related-Party Agreements.” We have evaluated the associated benefit of these awards to the affiliated companies under common control and determined that the benefit is limited to the retention of their employees. We estimated such benefit at the grant date fair value of $4.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $0.1 million of deemed dividends, inadditional paid-in capital, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, with a corresponding credit tostock-based compensation expense, on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Related-Party Warrants

A total of 1,638,000 warrants issued to an affiliate of Dr. Soon-Shiong with an exercise price of $3.24 per share were outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The fair value of $18.0 million assigned to the warrants will be recognized in equity upon achievement of a performance-based vesting condition pertaining to building manufacturing capacity to support supply requirements for ANKTIVA (which has not yet been satisfied). The warrants become exercisable 30 days following the achievement of the performance-based vesting condition (the initial exercise date) and expire on the 10th anniversary of the initial exercise date.

  1. Income Taxes

We are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax in California, other states and certain foreign jurisdictions. Except for state franchise taxes, the company has not been required to pay significant U.S. federal and state income taxes because of current and accumulated NOLs. The company computes its quarterly income tax provision using a forecasted annual effective tax rate and adjusts for any discrete items arising during the quarter. Animmaterial tax benefit was provided for losses incurred in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions because those losses are offset by a full valuation allowance.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded animmaterial amount ofincome tax benefitand no income tax benefit (expense), respectively, on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We recordedno income tax benefit (expense) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to our history of losses and a valuation allowance on the company’s deferred tax assets.

Our federal returns for tax years 2021 through 2024 remain open to examination, and our state returns remain subject to examination for tax years 2020 through 2024. NOL carryforwards and tax credits are still subject to examination in the year they are used. No income tax returns are currently under examination by taxing authorities.

On July 4, 2025, the OBBB Act was enacted in the U.S. The OBBB Act includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the TCJA, modifications to the international tax framework, and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The company has evaluated the OBBB Act and estimated the impact to the consolidated financial statements will not be adverse. We will continue to evaluate the full impact of these legislative changes as additional guidance becomes available.

  1. Segment Information

We operate inone operating segment, and therefore haveone reportable segment, focused on developing next-generation therapies that bolster the natural immune system while addressing serious unmet needs within urologic and other cancers as well as infectious diseases. Our CEO is the chief operating decision-maker of the company and manages and allocates resources to our operations on a company-wide basis. Consistent with this decision-making process, our CEO uses consolidated, single-segment financial information for purposes of evaluating performance, forecasting future-period financial results, allocating resources, and setting incentive targets. The measure of segment performance is net income (loss) as reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The CODM uses net income (loss) to allocate resources on a consolidated basis, which enables the CODM to assess both the overall level of resources available and optimize distribution of resources across functions, therapeutic areas, regions and research and development programs in line with our long-term corporate-wide strategic goals. As the company manages its assets on a consolidated basis, the measure of segment assets is total assets, as reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Net loss for our reportable segment is as follows (in thousands):
