Current report

On May 28, 2026, we amended and restated the Warrant to among other things: (i) condition the exercise of the Warrant and the issuance of the Common Stock upon exercise pursuant to the terms of the Warrant, to the receipt of the approval of our stockholders; (ii) increase the Minimum Vesting Acquisition Amount, as such term is defined in the Warrant, from $500,000 to $1,000,000; and (iii) to extend the Vesting Termination Date, as such term is defined in the Warrant, from July 8, 2026 to September 30, 2026;

Current report

On July 10, 2026, we entered into a new lease agreement (the “New Lease”) for approximately 9,038 rentable square feet of office and laboratory space located at 5580 Morehouse Drive, Suite 120, San Diego, California, with an initial term of 44 months commencing October 1, 2026, and expiring May 31, 2030, with one option to extend for an additional three years at the then-prevailing fair market rate. We will be required to make monthly base rental payments of approximately $52,000 per month for the first 12 months, with an annual 3% increase in such amount on each anniversary of the commencement date. We will also pay our share of operating expenses, property taxes and insurance, as well as a 3% management fee. We are required to deliver an irrevocable letter of credit of approximately $0.1 million within 10 calendar days of execution of the new lease.

Current report

Concurrently, we also entered into a Lease Termination Agreement with respect to our existing lease at 4475 Executive Drive, San Diego, California, which will terminate effective September 30, 2026 (the “Termination Date”), with no early termination fee payable. The Termination Agreement also reduces the remaining base rent payments due under the existing lease from June 1, 2026 through the Termination Date from approximately $118,000 per month to approximately $26,000 per month, and it also reduces the monthly estimated payment for Expenses, Taxes and insurance to a flat monthly fee of approximately $10,000 per month.

Current report

In connection with the Lease Termination Agreement, Mr. Camaisa entered into a Guarantee Termination Agreement to be effective on the Termination Date, pursuant to which, the Guarantee under the existing lease shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

Current report

Research and development expenses were substantially flat for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 at $2.6 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized an increase in drug manufacturing and preclinical expenses of $0.6 million, offset by a decrease in rent expenses of $0.3 million, salaries and benefits of $0.2 million, and regulatory consulting costs of $0.1 million when compared to the same period in 2025.

Current report

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $3.2 million and $5.7 million, respectively. The $2.5 million decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and benefits of $1.7 million due to reduced headcount, accounting and audit fees of $0.3 million, rent expenses of $0.2 million, legal fees of $0.2 million, insurance expenses of $0.1 million, consulting expenses of $0.1 million, partially offset by an increase in public company expenses of $0.1 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Current report

Other income (expense), net for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $0.1 million in other income, net, and $0.1 million other expense, net, respectively. The $0.2 million increase during the six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily relates to a decrease in interest expense of $0.1 million and an increase in interest income of $0.1 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Current report

We may receive proceeds from the exercise of the 2,619,735 outstanding warrants if the holders elect to exercise such warrants. However, the exercise prices of a substantial portion of our outstanding warrants significantly exceed the current market price of our common stock. Accordingly, we do not expect the exercise of our warrants to be a material source of liquidity unless the market price of our common stock increases significantly above the applicable exercise prices. There can be no assurance that any warrants will be exercised, and we have not assumed the receipt of any such proceeds in our liquidity assessment.

Current report

As described more fully inRecent Developments, on July 10, 2026, the Company entered into (i) a Lease Termination Agreement to terminate the San Diego Lease effective September 30, 2026 and (ii) a new lease agreement (the “New Lease”) for a different location effective October 1, 2026. Additionally, on July 10, 2026, Mr. Camaisa entered into a Guarantee Termination Agreement to be effective September 30, 2026.

Current report

Cash used in operating activities decreased $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to a $1.8 million decrease in net loss, after giving effect to adjustments made for non-cash transactions, primarily related to reductions in headcount and professional fees, and a decrease of $1.7 million in cash used in operating assets and liabilities primarily as a result of $1.8 million less paid towards accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities in 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

Mr. Camaisa’s decision to allow his Director term to expire did not result from any disagreement with us on any matter relating to our operations, policies or practices. In connection with Mr. Camaisa’s decision, effective on the date of our 2026 annual stockholder meeting, the Board reduced the size of the Board from six (6) to five (5) directors.

As of March 31, 2026, Calidi had outstanding warrants to purchase 49,440,138 shares of Common Stock, consisting of the following:

Previous report

Other commitments and contingencies include various operating and financing leases for equipment, office facilities, and other property containing future minimum lease payments totaling $1.8 million and certain manufacturing and other supplier agreements with vendors principally for manufacturing drug products for clinical trials and continuing the development of our programs totaling $0.4 million.

Previous report

Please see Note 6 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on our related party transactions.

Previous report

Net cash used in operating activities was $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily resulting from our net loss of $4.1 million. Our net loss was reduced by certain non-cash items that included $0.4 million in depreciation and amortization expense, $0.2 million in stock-based compensation, partially increased by $0.6 million from the change in our operating assets and liabilities.

Previous report

Net cash used in operating activities was $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily resulting from our net loss of $5.1 million. Our net loss was reduced by certain non-cash items that included $0.6 million in stock-based compensation, $0.4 million in depreciation and amortization expense, partially increased by $3.0 million from the change in our operating assets and liabilities.

Previous report

We enter into agreements in the normal course of business with vendors for preclinical and clinical studies, preclinical and clinical supply and manufacturing services, professional consultants for expert advice, and other vendors for other services for operating purposes. We have certain manufacturing and other supplier agreements with vendors principally for manufacturing drug products for clinical trials and continuing the development of our product candidates totaling $0.4 million in future purchase commitments. However, these contracts do not contain any minimum purchase commitments and are cancellable at any time by us, generally upon 30 days prior written notice, and therefore we believe that our non-cancelable obligations under these agreements are not material.

Previous report

In addition, we have entered into license and royalty agreements for intellectual property with certain parties. Such arrangements require ongoing payments, including payments upon achieving certain development, regulatory and commercial milestones, receipt of sublicense income, as well as royalties on commercial sales. Payments under these arrangements are expensed as incurred and are recorded as research and development expenses. We may pay amounts under such agreements at the time of execution or annual fees. We have not paid any royalties under these agreements to date. We have not included the annual license fee payments contractual obligations because the license agreements are cancelable by us and therefore, we believe that our non-cancelable obligations under these agreements are not material. We have not included potential royalties or milestone obligations because they are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the timing and likelihood of such potential obligations are not known with certainty. For further information regarding these agreements and amounts that could become payable in the future under these agreements, please see the sub-section entitled “License Agreements” within the “Item 1. Business” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Reworded paragraphs (27)

Previous wording

We are a publicly traded biotechnology company pioneering the development of targeted therapies with the potential to deliver genetic medicines to distal sites of disease. Our proprietary RedTail platform features an engineered enveloped oncolytic virus designed for systemic delivery and targeting of metastatic sites. This advanced enveloped technology is intended to shield the virus from immune clearance, allowing virotherapy to effectively reach tumor sites, induce tumor lysis, and deliver potent genetic medicine(s) to metastatic locations. We expect to file an investigational new drug (“IND”) application for a Phase I trial by the end of 2026 with CLD-401, the first compound from the RedTail platform, delivering IL-15 superagonist to the tumor microenvironment (“TME”).

Previous wording

CLD-401, the first lead derived from the RedTail platform. CLD-401 is enveloped and overexpressed CD55 on its outer membrane. It is tropic for tumor cells and, when replicating, expresses IL-15 superagonist at high concentrations in the tumor microenvironment. In animal models, CLD-401 can be given systemically and clear metastatic sites in syngeneic tumor mouse models with demonstrated enhanced biological efficacy. The combination of the RedTail virus with its genetic payload drives complete tumor eradication in the tumor models compared to the RedTail virus alone. We believe that RedTail, given its systemic administration and targeting to metastatic sites and its delivery of genetic medicines, represents a major advancement in the space of oncolytic virus in oncology. We are developing additional leads from the RedTail platform including compounds that simultaneously express a bispecific T-cell engager (“TCE”) and a T-cell activator as well as compounds for use outside of oncology.

Based on our operating plan, we believe we do not have sufficient cash on hand to support current operations for at least one year from the date of issuance of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026. We have concluded that this circumstance raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, we will be required to raise additional capital through the issuance of our equity securities to support our operations which will have an ownership and economic dilutive effect to our current shareholders who purchased their shares of common stock at prices above our current trading price, and such capital raising may adversely affect the price of our common stock. Further, the sale of or the perception of a sale of a substantial number of our common stock by certain selling securityholders pursuant to another registration statement filed with the SEC will adversely affect the price of our common stock due to our limited trading volume, adversely affect the share price that we may obtain in future financings, and may adversely affect our ability to conduct and complete future financings.

As consideration for the Guaranty, we agreed to pay Mr. Camaisa 10% of the Guaranty amount for the first year of the San Diego Lease, and 5% per annum of the Guaranty amount thereafter through the life of the lease, with all amounts accrued and payable at the termination of the San Diego Lease or release of Mr. Camaisa from the Guaranty by the lessor, whichever occurs first. The amount due was partially settled in April 2025. The San Diego Lease had an initial term of 4 years.

Based on our current operating plan, available cash and additional access to capital discussed above under the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section, we believe we do not have sufficient cash on hand to support current operations for at least one year from the date of issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. To finance our operations, we will need to raise substantial additional capital, which cannot be assured. We have concluded that this circumstance raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date that our aforementioned unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. See Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information on our assessment.
