CONDUIT PHARMACEUTICALS INC

Other than as set forth below, we are not currently party to or aware of being subject to any material legal proceedings. However, we may from time to time become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Regardless of outcome, litigation could impact our business due to defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

In August 2023, prior to the Business Combination, our now wholly-owned subsidiary, Conduit Pharmaceuticals Limited, received a letter from Strand Hanson Limited (“Strand”) claiming it was owed advisory fees pursuant to a previously executed letter. Conduit rejected and disputes the substance of the letter in full. Following such rejection, on September 7, 2023, Strand filed a claim in the Business and Property Courts of England and Wales claiming it is entitled to be paid the sum of $2 million and, as a result of the completion of the Business Combination, to be issued 6.5 million shares of common stock. Based on consultation with its counsel, management believes that it is premature to provide any evaluation of the likely outcome of the claim. This case status and probability of outcomes will be assessed each quarter. We intend to vigorously defend against these claims. Regardless of its outcome, the litigation may impact our business due to, among other things, defense legal cost and the diversion of the attention of our management.
