Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Pulmatrix, Inc. (“Pulmatrix” or the “Company”) was incorporated in 2013 as a Delaware corporation. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company that has focused on the development of a novel inhaled therapeutic products intended to prevent and treat migraine and respiratory diseases with important unmet medical needs using its patented iSPERSE™ technology. The Company’s proprietary dry powder delivery platform, iSPERSE™, is engineered to deliver small, dense particles with highly efficient dispersibility and delivery to the airways, which can be used with an array of dry powder inhaler technologies and can be formulated with a variety of drug substances.
Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization
On November 13, 2024, Pulmatrix and Cullgen Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cullgen”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto on April 7, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other matters, PCL Merger Sub, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Pulmatrix (“Merger Sub”), will merge with and into Cullgen, with Cullgen surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pulmatrix, and the surviving corporation of the merger (the “Merger”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, prior to the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), Pulmatrix currently expects to declare a cash dividend to the pre-Merger Pulmatrix stockholders equal in the aggregate to Pulmatrix’s reasonable, good faith approximation of the amount by which Pulmatrix’s net cash (as determined pursuant to the Merger Agreement) will exceed $2.5 million, subject to certain adjustments and limitations (such excess amount, the “Cash Dividend”).
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Closing, (a) each then-outstanding share of Cullgen common stock other than dissenting shares, will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Pulmatrix common stock calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”), (b) each then-outstanding share of Cullgen preferred stock, other than dissenting shares, will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Pulmatrix common stock equal to the number of shares of Cullgen common stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Cullgen preferred stock multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and (c) each then-outstanding option to purchase Cullgen common stock, whether vested or unvested, will be assumed by Pulmatrix, subject to adjustment to reflect the Exchange Ratio as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
In connection with the Merger: (i) each share of Pulmatrix common stock that is issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (as defined below) of the Merger will remain issued and outstanding and such shares, subject to the proposed Pulmatrix reverse stock split, will be unaffected by the Merger; (ii) each option to acquire shares of Pulmatrix common stock outstanding but then not vested or exercisable shall be accelerated in full; (iii) each option to acquire shares of Pulmatrix common stock with an exercise price per share greater than $10.00 per share shall be cancelled for no consideration; (iv) each option to acquire shares of Pulmatrix common stock with an exercise price less than or equal to the Pulmatrix Closing Price (as defined herein) will be converted into the right to receive the number of shares underlying such Pulmatrix option, reduced as set forth in the Merger Agreement; (v) each option to acquire shares of Pulmatrix common stock with an exercise price greater than the volume weighted average closing trading price of a share of Parent Common Stock on Nasdaq for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending three (3) trading days immediately prior to the Closing Date as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (the “Pulmatrix Closing Price”), but less than $10.00 per share, will remain outstanding; and (vi) each warrant to acquire shares of Pulmatrix common stock that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall survive the Closing and remain outstanding in accordance with its terms; provided that the holders of any such warrants which remain outstanding following closing may elect to require Pulmatrix to pay such holders cash in exchange for the termination of the remaining unexercised portion of such warrants if contemplated by the terms of such warrants.
Under the Exchange Ratio formula in the Merger Agreement, upon the Closing, on a pro forma basis and based upon the number of shares of Pulmatrix common stock expected to be issued in the Merger, pre-Merger Cullgen stockholders will own approximately 96.4% of the combined company and pre-Merger Pulmatrix stockholders will own approximately 3.6% of the combined company on a fully-diluted basis (excluding out-of-the-money options and warrants and any shares reserved for future grants under Pulmatrix’s equity incentive plans). Under certain circumstances further described in the Merger Agreement, the ownership percentages may be adjusted upward or downward based on Pulmatrix’s net cash at the Closing.
The Exchange Ratio assumes (i) a valuation for Pulmatrix of $10.5 million (comprised of $8 million in enterprise value and $2.5 million in cash) and (ii) a valuation for Cullgen of $280.0 million. The Exchange Ratio is also based on the relative capitalization of each of Pulmatrix and Cullgen, for which, for the purposes of calculating the Exchange Ratio, the shares of Pulmatrix common stock underlying Pulmatrix’s in-the-money stock options outstanding immediately prior to the time of the Closing (the “Effective Time”), as adjusted to take into account the Cash Dividend will be deemed outstanding, and all shares of Cullgen common stock underlying outstanding Cullgen’s stock options will be deemed outstanding, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
On June 16, 2025, the Company held a special meeting in lieu of the annual meeting of Pulmatrix stockholders, at which the Company’s stockholders approved the Merger and related proposals. The Closing is subject to other customary closing conditions, including Nasdaq’s approval of the listing of the shares of Pulmatrix common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger and approval from the China Security Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) pursuant to the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Enterprises (the “Trial Measures”), No. 1 to No. 6 Supporting Guidance Rules, the Notice on Administration Arrangements for the Filing of Overseas Listings by Domestic Enterprises and the relevant CSRC Answers to Reporter Questions on the official website of the CSRC. These regulations established a filing-based regime to regulate overseas offerings and listings by Chinese domestic companies. As of the date of this filing, Pulmatrix has not yet received approval from the CSRC to complete the Merger. As previously disclosed, on August 1, 2025, Pulmatrix and Cullgen, as provided for in the Merger Agreement, mutually agreed to extend the “End Date”, a term defined in the Merger Agreement, by 60 days from August 13, 2025, to October 12, 2025. The Merger Agreement does not have a defined term and does not terminate on the “End Date”. The “End Date” is simply the date at which certain termination options become available to either party.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights of each of Pulmatrix and Cullgen. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, Pulmatrix may be required to pay Cullgen a termination fee of $420,000, and in certain other circumstances, Cullgen may be required to pay Pulmatrix a termination fee of either $2,800,000 or $8,400,000.
If the Merger is completed, the business of Cullgen will continue as the business of the combined company. Concurrent with the Merger, the Company will seek to monetize its intellectual property, including iSPERSE™ and its clinical assets (the “Asset Sale”).
The Company’s future operations are highly dependent on the success of the Merger and there can be no assurances that the Merger will be successfully consummated. There can be no assurance that the strategic review process or any transaction relating to a specific asset, including the Merger and any Asset Sale, will result in the Company pursuing such a transaction, or that any transactions, if pursued, will be completed on terms favorable to Pulmatrix and its stockholders in the existing Pulmatrix entity or any possible entity that results from a combination of entities. If the strategic review process is unsuccessful, and if the Merger is not consummated, the Company’s board of directors may decide to pursue a dissolution and liquidation.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 21, 2025 (the “Annual Report”).
The financial information as of September 30, 2025, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including those which are normal and recurring) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. The balance sheet data as of December 31, 2024, was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. The results of the Company’s operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.
The Company’s future operations are highly dependent on the success of the Merger and there can be no assurances that the Merger will be successfully consummated. If the Merger is not consummated, the Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025, would be adequate to fund its operating expenses for at least twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. However, in order to continue development of its programs, the Company would need to secure substantial additional funding in the future, from one or more equity or debt financings, collaborations, or other sources. Additional funding may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company’s board of directors may also decide to pursue a dissolution and liquidation in lieu of continuing program development.
Should the Company continue development of its product candidates, the Company would be subject to risks and uncertainties. The ongoing research and development activities will be subject to extensive regulation by numerous governmental authorities in the United States. Prior to marketing in the United States, any drug developed by the Company must undergo rigorous preclinical and clinical testing and an extensive regulatory approval process implemented by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The Company has limited experience in conducting and managing the preclinical and clinical testing necessary to obtain regulatory approval. There can be no assurance that the Company will not encounter problems in the clinical trials that will cause the Company or the FDA to delay or suspend clinical trials.
The Company’s success in developing its product candidates would depend in part on its ability to obtain patents and product license rights, maintain trade secrets, and operate without infringing on the property rights of others, both in the United States and other countries. There can be no assurance that patents issued to or licensed by the Company will not be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, or that the rights granted thereunder will provide proprietary protection or competitive advantages to the Company.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Due to inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Cash and cash equivalents is a financial instrument that potentially subjects the Company to concentrations of credit risk. For all periods presented, substantially all of the Company’s cash was deposited in accounts at a single financial institution that management believes is creditworthy, and the Company has not incurred any losses to date. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by this financial institution for amounts in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized no revenue. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue from two customers accounted for 100% of revenue recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2,Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards, in the Annual Report. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company did not make any changes to its significant accounting policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. The Company did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, that had a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The guidance in ASU 2023-09 improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for the annual period ending December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption may have on its annual income tax disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). The guidance in ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure about the types of costs and expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the income statement. The new disclosure requirements are effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of ASU 2024-03 may have on its consolidated financial statements.
As of September 30, 2025, there are no other new, or existing recently issued, accounting pronouncements that are of significance, or potential significance, that impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

5. Common Stock
In May 2021, the Company entered into an At-The-Market Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright and Co., LLC (“HCW”) to act as the Company’s sales agent with respect to the issuance and sale of up to $20.0 million of the Company’s shares of common stock, from time to time in an at-the-market public offering (the “ATM Offering”). Upon filing of the Annual Report, the Company continued to be subject to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, pursuant to which in no event will the Company sell its common stock in a registered primary offering using Form S-3 with a value exceeding more than one-third of its public float in any 12 calendar month period so long as its public float remains below $75,000,000. Therefore, the amount that the Company may be able to be raise using the ATM Offering will be significantly less than $20,000,000, until such time as the Company’s public float held by non-affiliates exceeds $75,000,000.
Sales of common stock under the Sales Agreement are made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was filed with the SEC on May 17, 2024, and subsequently declared effective on May 30, 2024 (File No. 333-279491), and a related prospectus. HCW acts as the Company’s sales agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market. If expressly authorized by the Company, HCW may also sell the Company’s common stock in privately negotiated transactions. There is no specific date on which the ATM Offering will end, there are no minimum sale requirements and there are no arrangements to place any of the proceeds of the ATM Offering in an escrow, trust or similar account. HCW is entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

8. Commitments and Contingencies
Research and Development Activities
The Company contracts with various other organizations to conduct research and development activities, including clinical trials. The scope of the services under contracts for research and development activities may be modified and the contracts, subject to certain conditions, may generally be cancelled by the Company upon written notice. In some instances, the contracts, subject to certain conditions, may be cancelled by the third party. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had no material noncancellable commitments.
Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings involving contractual and employment relationships, patent or other intellectual property rights, and a variety of other matters. The Company is not aware of any pending legal proceedings that would reasonably be expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
9. Income Taxes
The Company hadno income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 due to operating losses incurred since inception.
Management of the Company evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realizability of its deferred tax assets and determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not recognize the benefits of the deferred tax assets. As a result, a full valuation allowance was recorded as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024.
The Company applies FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740,Income Taxes, for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Unrecognized tax benefits represent tax positions for which reserves have been established. A full valuation allowance has been provided against the Company’s deferred tax assets, so that the effect of the unrecognized tax benefits is to reduce the gross amount of the deferred tax asset and the corresponding valuation allowance. The Company hasno material uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024.
10. Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number common shares outstanding during the period, after taking into consideration any potentially dilutive effects from outstanding stock options or warrants.
Basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, as the effect of potentially dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive. The following potentially dilutive securities outstanding have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding, because such securities had an anti-dilutive impact:
| Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Options to purchase common stock | 33,858 | 250,897 |
| Warrants to purchase common stock | 382,588 | 934,373 |
| Total options and warrants to purchase common stock | 416,446 | 1,185,270 |
11. Segment Reporting
The Company operates in a single reportable segment. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those applicable to the Company. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its chief executive officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The CODM uses net loss to assess financial performance of the Company and allocate resources, in addition to operating forecasts and clinical results.
The Company’s single segment revenue, significant segment expenses, other segment items and net loss are each presented separately on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
12. Subsequent Events
The Company has completed an evaluation of all subsequent events after the balance sheet date of September 30, 2025, through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued to ensure that the condensed consolidated financial statements include appropriate disclosure of events both recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025, and events which occurred subsequently but were not recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has concluded that no other subsequent events have occurred that require disclosure, except as disclosed within the condensed consolidated financial statements.
