Note 1. Description of Business

Business Overview

Akari Therapeutics, Plc, (the “Company” or “Akari”) is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The Company is developing next-generation antibody-drug conjugates, or ADCs, through its proprietary technology platform of novel payloads, enabling Akari to generate multiple ADC candidates to target a range of cancers. On March 4, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Peak Bio, Inc. (“Peak Bio”) and Pegasus Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Akari (“Merger Sub”). On November 14, 2024, the Company completed the previously announced strategic business combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement (“Closing”), pursuant to which, Merger Sub merged with and into Peak Bio, with Peak Bio surviving the acquisition as a wholly owned subsidiary of Akari.

Since the Company’s acquisition of Peak Bio in November 2024, Akari has focused substantially all of its efforts on its ADC platform utilizing a novel anti-cancer payload called PH1, a spliceosome modulator. Through its payload platform, the Company aims to establish a pipeline of ADC candidates that target and directly kill cancer cells, while also activating the immune system to provide for potentially more durable and sustained efficacy and responses, thereby overcoming limitations inherent in existing ADC therapies. The Company’s activities since inception have consisted of performing research and development activities and raising capital.

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of pre-clinical and clinical stage companies, including dependence on key individuals, uncertainty of product development and generation of revenues, dependence on outside sources of capital, risks associated with clinical trials of products, dependence on third-party collaborators for research and development operations, need for marketing authorization of products, risks associated with protection of intellectual property, and competition with larger, better-capitalized companies.

To fully execute its business plan, the Company will need, among other things, to complete its research and development efforts, pre-clinical and regulatory activities, and clinical trials. These activities may take several years and will require significant operating and capital expenditures in the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that these activities will be successful. If the Company is not successful in these activities it could delay, limit, reduce or terminate its pre-clinical studies or other discovery and research activities.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the SEC and assumes that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, including normal and recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for the fair statement of financial information. The results of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 or any other future period. The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and notes thereto included in its Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2025.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and related disclosures. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the valuation of share-based awards, the valuation of warrant liabilities, the valuation of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, research and development prepayments, accruals and related expenses, and the valuation allowance for deferred income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates are periodically reviewed considering changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40,Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, which requires management to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

The Company has incurred substantial losses and negative cash flows since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $259.3 million as of September 30, 2025. The Company’s cash balance of $2.5 million as of September 30, 2025 is not sufficient to fund its operations for the one-year period after the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales of its product candidates currently in research and development. The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties similar to those of other companies of the same size within the biotechnology industry, such as uncertainty of pre-clinical research outcomes, uncertainty of additional funding, and history of operating losses. Substantial additional financing will be needed by the Company to fund its operations. Management is currently evaluating various strategies to obtain the required funding for future operations. These strategies may include, but are not limited to: private placements and/or public offerings of equity and/or debt securities, and strategic research and development collaborations and/or similar arrangements. There can be no assurance that these future funding efforts will be successful.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2025. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

*Recent accounting pronouncements *

Periodically, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies. Recently issued standards typically do not require adoption until a future effective date. Prior to their effective date, we evaluate the pronouncements to determine the potential effects of adoption on our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, no new accounting pronouncements issued or effective in the period had or are expected to have a material impact on our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Agreement and Plan of Merger

In connection with the November 14, 2024 acquisition of Peak Bio, the Company issued a total of 12,613,942 Akari ADSs which reflected the conversion of each issued and outstanding share of Peak Bio Common Stock into the right to receive Akari ADSs representing a number of Akari Ordinary Shares equal to 0.2935 (the “Exchange Ratio”). The Exchange Ratio was calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and is such that the total number of shares of Akari ADSs issued in connection with the acquisition is approximately 48.4% of the outstanding shares of Akari on a fully diluted basis.

At the Closing, each Peak Warrant and Peak Option was converted into an Adjusted Warrant and Adjusted Option to purchase a number of Akari Ordinary Shares or Akari ADSs, based on the Exchange Ratio. The Adjusted Warrants and the Adjusted Options have substantially similar terms and conditions as were applicable to such Peak Warrants and Peak Options immediately prior to the Closing.

Consideration Paid

The following table summarizes the total consideration paid pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which was based on the closing market price of Akari’s ADS as of the November 14, 2024 acquisition date:

($ in thousands)Number of ADSs issued and issuable on exerciseConsideration
Company ADSs issued to Peak Bio Inc. shareholders12,613,942$28,129
Company ADSs issuable on exercise of November 2022 Peak Investor Warrants and April 2023 Peak Investor Warrants2,764,5691,844
Company ADSs issuable on exercise of Peak Bio Adjusted Stock Options1,618,081—
Total consideration16,996,592$29,973

The fair value of the 12,613,942 ADS issued in connection with the acquisition is based on the closing price of the Company’s ADSs on the Closing Date multiplied by the number of ADSs issued.

In connection with the acquisition of Peak Bio, the Company assumed (i) warrants issued to investors (“November 2022 Peak Bio Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,577,556 ADSs at $39.18 per ADS, and (ii) warrants issued to investors (“April 2023 Peak Bio Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,187,013 ADSs at $2.04 per ADS. The assumed Peak Bio warrants are fully vested, and thus are included in the consideration transferred.

The Company determined that the November 2022 Peak Bio Warrants and the April 2023 Peak Bio Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s own stock in the manner contemplated by the relevant accounting guidance. Accordingly, on the Closing of the acquisition, the Company classified the assumed Peak Bio warrants as derivative liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets.

The estimated fair value of the Adjusted Warrants of $1.8 million at the acquisition closing date was calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. The following assumptions were used to determine the fair value of the assumed Peak Bio warrants as of November 14, 2024:

Peak Bio Assumed Warrants
November 2022April 2023
Stock price per ADS$2.23$2.23
Exercise price$39.18$2.04
Expected term (in years)3.03.5
Expected volatility86.4%84.1%
Risk-free interest rate4.3%4.3%
Expected dividend yield0.0%0.0%

The Company assumed Peak Bio’s outstanding stock option awards to purchase 1,618,081 ADSs. The Company determined the Peak Bio Adjusted Options were not probable of vesting prior to the consummation of the Merger Agreement. For this reason, the fair value of the replacement awards was not included as consideration transferred in the business combination. Instead, the entire fair value of the adjusted options will be recognized as compensation cost in the post-combination period. The estimated fair value of the Adjusted Options of $1.8 million at the acquisition closing date was calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. The valuation assumptions used in the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model include the Company’s stock price on the date of closing of $2.23, volatility ranging from 84.1% to 86.4%, an expected dividend yield of 0.0%, an expected term ranging from 0.20 years to 5.32 years, and a risk-free interest rate ranging from 4.3% to 4.6%.

Total Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The acquisition of Peak Bio has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values. Management estimated the fair value of the acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) intangible assets using a multi-period excess earnings method. The significant assumptions used in the valuation are the probability of clinical trial success and obtaining regulatory approval, forecasted gross sales from up-front and milestone payments, royalties and product sales, and the discount rate reflecting the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. This acquisition method requires, among other things, that assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

Assets acquired
Cash and restricted cash$382

Deferred tax liability8,040
Total liabilities assumed18,029
Total assets acquired and liabilities assumed21,543
Goodwill8,430
Net assets acquired$29,973

Intangible assets of approximately $39.2 million and $8.4 million were recorded related to the value of acquired IPR&D from Peak Bio’s therapeutic pipeline, consisting of two separate pipelines supported by intellectual property, and goodwill, respectively. The recognized goodwill is attributable primarily to the expected synergies and other benefits from the merger and the deferred tax liability associated with the Company’s acquired IPR&D, which is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The fair value of IPR&D intangible assets was as follows (in thousands):

In-Process Research and Development
AKTX-101$34,000
PHP-3035,180
Total in-process research and development$39,180

The Company assumed convertible notes and notes payable with third parties, and notes payable with a related party, which are described in Note 7 and Note 13, respectively.

Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)

The following table summarizes certain of the Company’s supplemental pro forma financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as if the acquisition of Peak Bio had occurred as of January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 reflect (i) the reversal of fair value adjustments recognized on Peak Bio’s warrant liabilities and derivative liability, (ii) the reversal of interest and accretion expense on Peak Bio’s debt that was settled on the acquisition date, and (iii) the reversal of a gain recognized on Peak Bio’s office lease termination and corresponding impairment of its right to use asset. The unaudited pro-forma financial information is for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition been made at that date or of results which may occur in the future (in thousands).

Note 4: Intangible Assets

The Company’s IPR&D and goodwill are tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. The Company performed qualitative assessments to determine whether it was more likely than not that the assets were impaired in order to determine the necessity of performing a quantitative impairment test, under which management would calculate the asset’s fair value. When performing the qualitative assessments, the Company evaluated events and circumstances that would affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of the assets.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded an impairment charge of $5.18 million related to the Company’s PHP 303 asset due to reprioritization of resources to our ADC platform, no further development plans and inability to find a collaborative partner to date for this program.

The following table presents information about the Company’s IPR&D assets:

The Company’s Level 3 liabilities consist of the September 2022 Warrants, the November 2022 Peak Bio Warrants and the April 2023 Peak Bio Warrants, which were determined to be liability-classified instruments, and a derivative liability related to the ELOC Purchase Agreement (described in Note 7). There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024.

Liability-Classified Warrants

The fair value of the warrant liabilities is based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the liability classified warrants (each defined below) were determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, which uses various assumptions, including (i) fair value of the Company’s ADSs, (ii) exercise price of the warrant, (iii) expected term of the warrant, (iv) expected volatility and (v) expected risk-free interest rate.

Below are the assumptions used for the fair value calculations of the liability classified warrants as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

September 30, 2025December 31, 2024

Derivative Liability

The derivative liability related to the ELOC Purchase Agreement (described in Note 7) is valued using the Monte Carlo simulation model and as such is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement, as the fair value was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market. The significant unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value were the projected volume weighed average share price at each trading date and the use of the maximum draw down potential. The fair value of the ELOC Purchase Agreement derivative liability at inception of the agreement was $100,000. The fair value of the ELOC Purchase Agreement was approximately the same as the fair value at inception and therefore no change in fair value of the derivative liability was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Note 6. Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses consisted of the following as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Note 7. Convertible Notes and Notes Payable

September 2024 Note Payable

In November 2024, the Company assumed a promissory note issued by Peak Bio in September 2024 in the amount of $0.3 million (the “September 2024 Note”) to its former California landlord. Due to the short-term nature of the September 2024 Note, the Company concluded that its carrying value approximated its fair value as of the Closing on November 14, 2024. The September 2024 Note bears no interest and ispayable over twenty equal monthly installments beginning on November 1, 2024 and expiring on June 1, 2026.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance on the September 2024 Note was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

November 2023 Note Payable

In November 2024, the Company assumed a promissory note issued by Peak Bio in November 2023 in the amount of $0.4 million (the “November 2023 Note”) bearing interest at 6% per annum with a maturity date of December 31, 2024. Due to the short-term nature of the November 2023 Note, the Company concluded that its carrying value approximated its fair value as of the Closing on November 14, 2024.

As of December 31, 2024, the principal balance of $0.4 million plus accrued interest of less than $0.1 million was due for payment in order to settle the November 2023 Note obligation. On February 28, 2025, the Company signed a Settlement Agreement and Release in the amount of $325,000 for full satisfaction of the outstanding principal and accrued interest owed on the November 2023 Notes. The payment of $325,000 was made on March 6, 2025 and the Company recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of less than $0.1 million, which is reflected in the gain on settlement of current liabilities in the statements of operations, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The Company did not recognize any interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

April 2023 Convertible Notes

In November 2024, the Company assumed convertible promissory notes issued by Peak Bio in April 2023 in the principal amount of a total of $0.7 million (the “April 2023 Convertible Notes”). The April 2023 Convertible Notes permitted the holder to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest at any time at a price of $2.04 per ADS (representing $0.00102 per underlying Ordinary Share of the Company), after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio. Due to the short-term nature of the April 2023 Convertible Notes, the Company concluded that its carrying value approximated its fair value as of the Closing on November 14, 2024. The April 2023 Convertible Notes were due on October 31, 2024 and bore interest at a default rate of 10% per annum.

On September 19, 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “April 2023 Convertible Notes and Warrants Amendment”) with the holders of the April 2023 Convertible Notes to (i) extend the maturity date of the April 2023 Convertible Notes to August 31, 2026, (ii) amend the conversion price of the April 2023 Convertible Notes to $0.81 per ADS (representing $0.000405 per underlying Ordinary Share) and permit the holders of the April 2023 Convertible Notes to voluntarily convert, in whole or in part, the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the April 2023 Convertible Notes into ADSs at any time, (iii) extend the expiration date of warrants held by the April 2023 Convertible Note holders (“April 2023 Peak Bio Convertible Noteholder Warrants”) from April 28, 2028 to August 31, 2030, and (iv) amend the exercise price of the April 2023 Peak Bio Warrants to $0.81 per ADS (representing $0.000405 per underlying Ordinary Share). In connection with the April 2023 Convertible Notes and Warrants Amendment, the Company paid the holders an aggregate of $81,700, representing all interest accrued on the April 2023 Convertible Notes through September 30, 2025.

The Company accounted for April 2023 Convertible Notes and Warrants Amendment as a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470. As the present value of the future cash flows was substantially different than the net carrying value of the original debt, a loss on debt extinguishment of less than $0.1 million was recognized. The discount of less than $0.1 million is being amortized as interest expense over the term of the convertible notes using the effective interest method.

In November 2024, in connection with the acquisition of Peak Bio, the April 2023 Peak Bio Convertible Noteholder Warrants were accounted for as a liability, as the April 2023 Peak Bio Convertible Noteholder Warrants were not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock in the manner contemplated by ASC 815-40-15,Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock. Following the April 2023 Convertible Notes and Warrants Amendment on September 19, 2025, the Company determined that the amended April 2023 Peak Bio Convertible Noteholder Warrants for the issuance of 342,420 ADSs (equivalent to 684,840,000 Ordinary Shares) met the requirements to be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and therefore were reclassified to equity. The fair value of the warrant liability, immediately prior to the modification, was $109,700 at the reclassification date. The Company determined the fair value of the April 2023 Peak Bio Convertible Noteholder Warrants after the modification, using a Black Scholes Option Pricing Model was $191,800 based on a stock price of $0.81, expected volatility of 86%, a risk-free rate of 3.68% and an expected term of 5 years. The change in fair value of $82,100 was recognized as additional paid in capital.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding principal amount of the April 2023 Convertible Note was $0.7 million.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, accrued interest on the April 2023 Convertible Notes of $0 and less than $0.1 million is presented within accrued expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognized interest expense, including amortization of the discount, of less than $0.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Refer to Note 13 for convertible notes, related party.

August 2025 Notes

In August 2025, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes with a 20% original issuance discount (each a “August 2025 Note” and together, the “August 2025 Notes”) to certain investors, including the Company’s directors. In connection with the issuance and sale of the August 2025 Notes, the Company agreed to extend the expiration date of Series A warrants held by August 2025 Note investors, previously issued in the March 2025 Private Placement (as defined in Note 8) (the “Series A Warrants”), by 48 months from the original date of expiration (the “Warrant Amendment Agreements”).

The Company closed the August 2025 Note Offering with investors and Company directors in three tranches and issued August 2025 Notes with an aggregate purchase price of $3,011,000 and an aggregate principal amount of $3,763,750, of which the Company issued August 2025 Notes with an aggregate purchase price of $1,500,000 and an aggregate principal amount of $1,875,000 to third party investors. The August 2025 Notes have maturity dates ranging from August 15, 2026 through September 26, 2026, depending on the date of issuance, at which time the principal amount is due and payable. The terms of the August 2025 Notes provided for accelerated payment of the outstanding principal amount in the event of a default as defined in the August 2025 Note (the Accelerated Payment Feature”).

The Company also entered into Warrant Amendment Agreements with the recipients of such August 2025 Notes, which extended the expiration date of the Series A Warrants to purchase 4,891,272 ADSs held by third party investors to April 25, 2030.

At the close of the August 2025 Note Offering, the Company incurred a total of approximately less than $0.1 million in placement agent fees with Paulson Investment Company, LLC, which were accounted for as debt issuance costs.

The amended Series A Warrants were accounted for in accordance with ASC 815 with the change in fair value, as a result of the amendment, being recognized first as a loss on debt extinguishment to the extent of the purchase price and the remainder as a debt issuance cost. The aggregate fair value of the Series A Warrants at issuance date using a Black Scholes Option Pricing Model was $2.1 million based on a stock price of $1.11, expected volatility of 93%, a risk-free rate of 3.82% and an expected term of 0.6 years. The aggregate fair value of the Series A Warrants at the amendment date using a Black Scholes Option Pricing Model was $3.9 million based on a stock price of $1.11, expected volatility of 88%, a risk-free rate of 3.70% and an expected term of 4.6 years, resulting in a change in fair value of $1.9 million from the issuance date. The Company recognized a loss on debt issuance, which is recorded in loss on debt extinguishment on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, of $0.4 million and the remaining $1.5 million was accounted for as a debt issuance cost.

The Company determined that the Accelerated Repayment Feature is subject to bifurcation under the guidance in ASC 815 as redemption features at a discount. The fair value of the derivative liability related to the Accelerated Repayment Feature was immaterial as the probability that the Company will trigger an event of default was deemed minimal.

At the issuance date, debt issuance costs were capitalized and is being amortized as interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method.

The Company recorded amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.1 million in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. At September 30, 2025, the outstanding principal balance of the August 2025 Notes was less than $0.1 million.

Refer to Note 13 for notes payable, related party.

On August 29, 2025, the Company entered into an Ordinary Share Purchase Agreement (the “ELOC Purchase Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement (the “White Lion RRA”) with White Lion Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“White Lion”). Pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the Company had the right, but not the obligation, to require White Lion to purchase, from time to time, up to $25,000,000 in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued Ordinary Shares, which may be exchanged for ADSs, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the ELOC Purchase Agreement.

The Company does not have a right to commence any sales of Ordinary Shares to White Lion under the ELOC Purchase Agreement until all conditions to the Company’s right to commence sales, as set forth in the ELOC Purchase Agreement, have been satisfied, including that a registration statement covering the resale of such shares is declared effective by the SEC and the final form of prospectus is filed with the SEC. Over the period ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Purchaser shall have purchased Ordinary Shares pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price equal to the Commitment Amount or (ii) August 29, 2028 (the “Commitment Period”), subject to the conditions of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of Ordinary Shares to the Purchaser. Actual sales of Ordinary Shares to the Purchaser under the ELOC Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the ADSs, and determinations made by the Company as to appropriate levels and sources of funding.

The purchase price of the Ordinary Shares that the Company elects to sell to the Purchaser pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement will be determined based on the type of Purchase Notice issued, as follows:

●Rapid Purchase Option 1: The lowest traded price of the ADSs on the notice date.
●Rapid Purchase Option 2: 97% of the lowest traded price of the ADSs during the two hours following the Purchaser’s confirmed receipt of the notice.
●Rapid Purchase Option 3: The lowest of (i) the opening price of the ADSs on the notice date, (ii) the closing price of the ADSs on the prior business day, or (iii) the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) on the notice date, with a 20% discount if the trading price is below the opening price.
●VWAP Purchase: 97% of the lowest daily VWAP during a two-day valuation period for the first $12,500,000 of closings, and 98% thereafter.

In no event may the Company issue to the Purchaser under the ELOC Purchase Agreement more than 13,039,369,358 Ordinary Shares (the “Exchange Cap”), which equals 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the Execution Date, unless the Company obtains shareholder approval to issue shares in excess of the Exchange Cap or the average price paid for all Ordinary Shares issued under the agreement is equal to or greater than the Minimum Price (as defined in the ELOC Purchase Agreement). In any event, the ELOC Purchase Agreement provides that the Company may not issue or sell any Ordinary Shares if such issuance or sale would breach any applicable Nasdaq rules.

The ELOC Purchase Agreement prohibits the Company from directing the Purchaser to purchase any Ordinary Shares if those shares, when aggregated with all other Ordinary Shares then beneficially owned by the Purchaser (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), would result in the Purchaser beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”), which may be increased to 9.99% at the Purchaser’s discretion upon 61 days’ prior written notice.

As consideration for the Purchaser’s execution of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the Company will pay a document preparation fee of $15,000, to be deducted from the proceeds related to the first Purchase Notice, and cash commitment fees of $37,500 when aggregate Purchase Notices exceed $500,000 and $87,500 (or $125,000 if $1,000,000 is reached first) when aggregate Purchase Notices exceed $1,000,000. Additionally, if the Company fails to close at least $625,000 in purchases by the 180th day after the Registration Statement’s effective date, the Company will issue ADSs, represented by Ordinary Shares, equivalent to $75,000 divided by the lowest traded ADS price during a 10-day period preceding that date (the “Commitment Shares”).

Concurrently with the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Purchaser entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated August 29, 2025 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-1 (or any successor form) with the SEC within thirty (30) calendar days following August 29, 2025, to register the resale of the maximum number of Registrable Securities (including the Ordinary Shares, Commitment Shares, and ADSs representing such shares) permitted by applicable SEC rules.

The ELOC Purchase Agreement was accounted for as a standby equity purchase agreement under ASC 815 as it includes an embedded put option and an embedded forward option. The put option is recognized on inception and the forward option is recognized upon issuance of notice for the sale of the Company’s Common Stock. The fair value of the derivative liability related to the embedded put option (“White Lion Derivative Liability) was $100,000 at the inception of the agreement. The fair value of the White Lion Derivative Liability was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation based on the projected stock price of $0.76, expected volatility of 97%, risk-free rate of 3.52% and discounted at 71.3% for the probability of the Company timely filing all SEC documents and meeting the NASDAQ listing requirements.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had no outstanding purchase notices issued to White Lion.

Note 8. Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit)

Ordinary Shares

On June 30, 2025, the Company’s shareholders approved an increase to the number of authorized Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Ordinary Shares”). The Company can issue up to 200,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares plus 130,854,276,210 Ordinary Shares previously granted under previous allotments. All previously unallocated authorized shares were revoked. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2025, the Company was authorized to issue up to 330,854,276,210 Ordinary Shares.

Currently, each ADS represents 2,000 Ordinary Shares (the “ADS Ratio”). All ADS and per ADS amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the ADS Ratio.

March 2025 Private Placement

In March 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors and all directors of the Company, pursuant to which the Company sold and issued in a private placement (the “March 2025 Private Placement”) ADSs, or pre-funded warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) in lieu thereof, each representing 2,000 of the Company’s Ordinary Shares (the “Shares”), and, in each case, Series A warrants to purchase ADSs (“Series A Warrants”) and Series B warrants to purchase ADSs (“Series B Warrants”), the “Warrants,” and together with the ADSs or Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Units”). The Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants had a one-year term and a five-year term from the date of issuance, respectively, and the number of ADSs issuable pursuant to the exercise of each Series A Warrant ranges from 1 ADS to 1.5 ADSs depending on the “tier” of investment made.

In March 2025, the Company closed its first round of financing under the March 2025 Private Placement and issued 2,238,031 ADSs, Series A Warrants to purchase up to 2,283,031 ADS, at an exercise price of $0.87 per ADS, and Series B Warrants to purchase up to 2,283,031 ADS, at an exercise price of $0.87 per ADS. In connection with this round of financing, the Company’s Chairman, Dr. Hoyoung Huh, agreed to purchase $1.0 million of Units, with the purchase price thereof to be satisfied through his agreement to cancel and extinguish $1.0 million of notes previously issued to him by Peak Bio in January 2024, which were assumed by the Company (the “March 2025 Note Termination”) for an equal amount of Ordinary Shares and warrants.

In April 2025, the Company closed its final round of financing under the March 2025 Private Placement and issued 2,704,595 ADSs, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 1,650,000 ADS at an exercise price of $0.20 per ADS, Series A Warrants to purchase up to 6,057,405 ADS, at an exercise price of $0.87 per ADS, and Series B Warrants to purchase up to 4,354,595 ADS, at an exercise price of $0.87 per ADS. The Company received approximately $0.3 million in advance for the potential exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants which is reflected in other current liabilities.

At close of the March 2025 Private Placement, the Company incurred a total of approximately $0.4 million in placement agent fees with Paulson Investment Company, LLC (“Paulson”) and issued to Paulson 172,344 ADSs with an estimated fair value of $0.2 million. Net proceeds from the March 2025 Private Placement were approximately $5.6 million, net of the $1.0 million from the March 2025 Note Termination.

Merger with Peak Bio, Inc.

On November 14, 2024, the Company completed its previously announced strategic combination with Peak Bio. In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued 25,227,884,000 Ordinary Shares and assumed (i) November 2022 Peak Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,577,566 ADSs at $39.18 per ADS, and (ii) April 2023 Peak Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,187,013 ADSs at $2.04 per ADS.

The Company determined that the November 2022 Peak Warrants and the April 2023 Peak Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s own stock in the manner contemplated by the relevant accounting standard. Accordingly, on the Closing of the acquisition, the Company classified these warrants as derivative liabilities in its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Warrants

In connection with various previous financing transactions, the Company has issued warrants to purchase the Company’s Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs. The Company accounts for such warrants as equity instruments or liabilities, depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the options and the fair value of the Company’s ADSs for those options that had exercise prices lower than the fair value of the Company’s Ordinary Shares.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value per ADS of options granted during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $1.45 and $2.96, respectively.

Option Valuation

The weighted-average assumptions that the Company used to determine the fair value of share options granted were as follows, presented on a weighted average basis:

Expected volatility94.1%83.0%
Risk-free interest rate4.0%3.9%

Expected term (in years)5.75.0

Restricted Stock Units

The 2014 Plan provided, and the 2023 Plan provides, for the award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). RSUs are granted to employees that are subject to time-based vesting conditions that lapse between one year andfour years from date of grant, assuming continued employment. Compensation cost for time-based RSUs, which generally vest only on continued service, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value of the RSUs, which is derived from the Nasdaq closing price of the Company’s ADSs on the date of grant.

The following table summarizes the Company’s RSU ADSs activity, with each ADS representing 2,000 Ordinary Shares, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

The fair value of time-based RSUs that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was less than $0.1 million and approximately $0.5 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2025, there were no Ordinary Shares underlying vested time-based RSUs pending issuance that were included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity (deficit).

Performance-Based Stock Options

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted performance-based stock options (“PSOs”) to executives and consultants exercisable for the purchase of an aggregate of 975,000 ADSs of the Company. Vesting of PSOs granted to executives is based upon (i) a qualified financing or (ii) attainment of an ADC focused licensing deal by December 31, 2025. Vesting of PSOs granted to consultants is based upon attainment of certain research and licensing agreements. All PSOs are subject to continuous service by the executives. The probability of vesting is reviewed each reporting period and management has concluded that the PSOs have not vested until the performance conditions have been satisfied. Therefore, the PSOs remain unvested and outstanding as of September 30, 2025. The Company hasnot recognized stock-based compensation expense associated with these performance awards during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, total unrecognized compensation cost related to these performance-based stock options awards was $0.9 million, which will be recognized if the awards are deemed to be probable of vesting.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The Company classifies stock-based compensation expense in the statements of operations in the same manner in which the award recipients’ payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipients’ service payments are classified. Total stock-based compensation expense attributable to share-based payments made to employees, consultants and directors included in operating expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was as follows:

As of September 30, 2025, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $4.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years. As of September 30, 2025, no unrecognized compensation cost remains related to time-based RSUs.

Note 10. Net Loss per Share

The following potential dilutive securities, presented based on Ordinary Shares outstanding at the end of each reporting period, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because including them would have had an anti-dilutive impact:

Note 11. Income Taxes

In accordance with ASC 270,Interim Reporting, and ASC 740,Income Taxes, the Company is required at the end of each interim period to determine the best estimate of its annual effective tax rate and then apply that rate in providing for income taxes on a current year-to-date (interim period) basis. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 in connection with the impairment loss on one of the Company’s IPR&D assets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recordedno tax expense or benefit due to the expected current year loss and its historical losses. The Company has not recorded its net deferred tax asset as of either September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024 because it maintained a full valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets as of these dates as management has determined that it is not more likely than not that the Company will realize these future tax benefits. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company hadno uncertain tax positions.

Note 12. Segment Information

The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment for the purpose of assessing performance, making operating decisions and allocating resources, resulting in a single reportable segment. The Company has determined that its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s CODM reviews the Company’s financial information on a consolidated basis for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing financial performance.

The Company has assembled a portfolio of pre-clinical product candidates that aim to develop next-generation precision bifunctional ADCs for the treatment of cancer. The Company has not generated any revenue since its inception and does not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the near future. The Company primarily incurs expenses in connection with the research and development of its product candidates as well as general and administrative costs consisting of salaries and related costs for personnel in executive, finance and administrative functions, as well as consulting, restructuring and merger-related expenses.

The key measure of segment profit or loss that the CODM uses to allocate resources and assess performance is the Company’s consolidated net loss, as reported on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. In addition, the CODM is regularly provided the following significant segment expense categories which are reviewed against budgeted expectations to assist in resource allocation decision-making:

The January 2024 Note carried an interest rate of 15% per annum.

In March 2025, in connection with the March 2025 Private Placement (Note 8), Dr. Huh’s 2021 Notes including accrued interest, and a portion of his January 2024 Note, aggregating to $1.0 million were cancelled, extinguished and paid in full for an equal amount of Ordinary Shares and warrants of the Company.

In September 2025, in connection with the August 2025 Notes Offering (see below), Dr. Huh agreed to purchase an August 2025 Note with a principal amount of $1,250,000 for a purchase price of $1,000,000, with the purchase price thereof to be satisfied through his agreement to cancel and extinguish $837,433 of outstanding principal and accrued interest under January 2024 Note plus cash of $162,567. The Company accounted for the cancellation and extinguishment in exchange for the issuance of the August 2025 Note as a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470. As the present value of the future cash flows was substantially different than the net carrying value of the original debt, a loss of approximately $0.5 million was recognized.

The Company recognized interest expense of less than $0.1 million during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the 2021 Notes and the January 2024 Note was $0 and $1.651 million, respectively. As of each of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, accrued interest of $0 million and $0.1 million, respectively is presented within accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets.

August 2025 Notes, Related Party

In August 2025, the Company issued notes to the Company’s directors with the same terms as the August 2025 Notes (as described in Note 7) with an aggregate purchase price of $1,511,000 and an aggregate principal amount of $1,888,750, inclusive of a note exchange with the Company’s Chairman, Dr. Hoyoung Huh, as outlined above. The Notes have maturity dates ranging from August 15, 2026 through August 18, 2026, at which time the principal amount is due and payable.

The Company also entered into Warrant Amendment Agreements with the recipients of such August 2025 Notes, which extended the expiration date of certain Series A Warrants held by such investors to purchase 1,928,569 ADSs to March 6, 2030 and 44,642 ADSs to April 25, 2030.

The amended Series A Warrant were accounted for in accordance with ASC 815 with the change in fair value, as a result of the amendment, being recognized as a debt issuance cost. The aggregate fair value of the warrants at issuance date using a Black Scholes Option Pricing Model was $0.6 million based on a weighted average stock price of $0.98, weighted average expected volatility of 83%, a weighted average risk-free rate of 4.12% and an expected term of 0.6 years. The aggregate fair value of the warrants at the amendment date using a Black Scholes Option Pricing Model was $1.4 million based on a weighted average stock price of $0.98, weighted average expected volatility of 88%, a weighted average risk-free rate of 3.85% and an expected term of 4.6 years, resulting in a change in fair value of $0.8 million from the issuance date.

At the issuance date, the change in fair value of the amended Series A Warrants was capitalized and is being amortized as interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method.

The Company recorded amortization of debt issuance costs of less than $0.1 million in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. At September 30, 2025, the outstanding principal balance of the August 2025 Notes was $1.3 million.

In October 2024, the aggregate principal balance of $750,000, was repaid in cash with proceeds from the Company’s U.K. research and development tax credit from the U.K. HM Revenue and Customs. Drs.
