Current report

We may not be able to initiate, continue or complete clinical trials for our product candidates if we or they are unable to locate and enroll a sufficient number of eligible patients to participate in these trials as required by the FDA.

Current report

Patient enrollment is affected by factors including:

Current report

We generally focus our development activities on genetically or biomarker defined patients most likely to respond to our therapies. As a result, the potential patient populations for our clinical trials are narrowed, and we may experience difficulties in identifying and enrolling a sufficient number of patients in our clinical trials.

Current report

Ongoing or unanticipated geopolitical may have clinical trial sites could also negatively impact our ability to initiate, enroll and retain patients in, and conduct clinical trials.

Current report

We rely clinical trial sites to ensure the proper and timely conduct of our clinical trials, and while we have agreements governing their committed activities, we have limited influence over their actual performance. Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials would result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or more clinical trials altogether, or result in increased development costs for our product candidates, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Current report

We face substantial competition from established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, many of which have greater resources than we do, and our competitive position may be adversely affected if we fail to keep pace with advances in immunotherapy

Current report

The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry is intensely competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. We face competition from established and emerging companies that are developing immunotherapies, antibody-drug conjugates and other novel treatments for metastatic breast cancer and other cancers, including companies with substantially greater financial, technical, human and other resources. If competitors develop and commercialize products that are safer, more effective, more convenient or less expensive than our product candidates, our commercial opportunity may be reduced or eliminated. Many of our competitors also have significantly greater experience in clinical development, regulatory affairs, manufacturing and marketing, which may give them a competitive advantage. Our inability to compete effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous report

We have an unproven market for our product candidates

Previous report

The Company believes that the anticipated market for its potential products and technologies if successfully developed will continue to exist and expand. These assumptions may prove to be incorrect for a variety of reasons, including competition from other products and the degree of commercial viability of the potential product.

Previous report

On July 3, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) for the 33 consecutive business days from May 15, 2024, to July 2, 2024, the Company did not meet the minimum MVLS of $35,000,000 required for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with the Compliance Period of 180 calendar days, or until December 30, 2024, in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C).

Previous report

On December 18, 2024, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that based on our shareholders’ equity, we comply with the Rules and the matter is now closed.

Previous report

In addition, on August 22, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common shares have been below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).

Previous report

The Company regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement on February 12, 2025.

Previous report

Under amended Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) (the “Nasdaq Excessive Reverse Stock Split Rule”), companies are now limited by how many times they can effect reverse stock splits within a certain time period to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. Under the Nasdaq Excessive Reverse Stock Split Rule, if a company’s common shares fail to meet the minimum bid price requirement and the company has effected a reverse stock split within the prior one-year period, it will not be eligible for any compliance period to address a bid price deficiency. Accordingly, if our common shares fall out of compliance with the minimum bid requirement within a one-year period following our August 2025 share consolidation, we will be issued a delisting determination rather than being granted a compliance period. Under these circumstances, we could appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel, during which time any suspension or delisting action will be stayed. This amendment builds upon a 2020 rule change, which established an automatic delisting threshold for companies that have conducted one or more reverse stock splits within a two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one. Companies that meet this threshold are also ineligible for a compliance period and are subject to delisting (subject to a stay pursuant to the appeal processes).

Previous report

We are an Emerging Growth Company, which may reduce the amount of information available to investors

Previous report

The Jumpstart Our Business Start-ups Act (the “JOBS Act”), and our status as a foreign private issuer will allow us to postpone the date by which we must comply with some of the laws and regulations intended to protect investors and to reduce the amount of information we provide in our reports filed with the SEC, which could undermine investor confidence in our company and adversely affect the market price of our Common shares.

Previous report

For as long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies including:

Previous report

We intend to take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year of the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering in the United States, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Common shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

Previous report

We cannot predict if investors will find our common shares or listed Warrants less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common shares or Warrants less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common shares or Warrants, and our common share or Warrant price may be more volatile and may decline.

Previous report

Similarly, some of our directors and officers are residents of countries other than Canada and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside Canada. As a result, it may be difficult for Canadian investors to initiate a lawsuit within Canada against these non-Canadian residents. In addition, it may not be possible for Canadian investors to collect from these non-Canadian residents judgments obtained in courts in Canada predicated on the civil liability provisions of securities legislation of certain of the provinces and territories of Canada. It may also be difficult for Canadian investors to succeed in a lawsuit in the United States, based solely on violations of Canadian securities laws.

Current wording

Pre-clinical studies and initial clinical trials are not predictive of future results

Previous wording

Regulatory authorities may disagree with our analysis of data or may require the conduct of additional studies or analyses before permitting further development or marketing approval. Favorable results in early trials may not be repeated in later trials. Differences in trial design, patient populations, endpoints, statistical methodologies, or other variables between studies may lead to inconsistent results or render comparisons unreliable. Moreover, early-stage trials are often conducted with small patient cohorts drawn from limited and relatively homogeneous populations; as a result, these findings may not predict outcomes in larger or more diverse patient populations or in the commercial

We are heavily reliant on third-parties to carry out a large portion of our business

Current wording

We are reliant on third-parties to carry out a large portion of our business

Previous wording

The Company does not expect to have any in-house manufacturing, pharmaceutical development or marketing capability. To be successful, a product must be manufactured and packaged in commercial quantities in compliance with regulatory requirements and in reasonable time frames and at accepted costs. The Company intends to contract with third parties to develop its products. No assurance can be given that the Company or its suppliers will be able to meet the supply requirements in respect of the product development or commercial sales.

Previous wording

To be successful, an approved product must also be successfully marketed. The market for the Company’s product being developed by the Company may be large and will require substantial sales and marketing capability. At the present time, the Company does not have any internal capability to market pharmaceutical products. The Company intends to enter into one or more strategic partnerships or collaborative arrangements with pharmaceutical companies or other companies with marketing and distribution expertise to address this need. If necessary, the Company will establish arrangements with various partners for geographical areas. There can be no assurance that the Company can market, or can enter into a satisfactory arrangement with a third party to market a product in a manner that would assure its acceptance in the marketplace. However, if a satisfactory arrangement with a third party to market and/or distribute a product is obtained; the Company will be dependent on the corporate collaborator(s) who may not devote sufficient time, resources and attention to the Company’s programs, which may hinder efforts to market the products.

Previous wording

Should the Company not establish marketing and distribution strategic partnerships and collaborative arrangements on acceptable terms, and undertake some or all of those functions, the Company will require significant additional human and financial resources and expertise to undertake these activities, the availability of which is not guaranteed. The Company will rely on third parties for the timely supply of raw materials, equipment, contract manufacturing, and formulation or packaging services. Although the Company intends to manage these third-party relationships to ensure continuity and quality, some events beyond the Company’s control could result in complete or partial failure of these goods and services. Any such failure could have a material adverse effect on the financial conditions and result of operation of the Company.

Previous wording

Due to the complexity of the process of developing pharmaceutical products, the Company’s business may depend on arrangements with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, corporate and academic collaborators, licensors, licensees and others for the research, development, clinical testing, technology rights, manufacturing, marketing and commercialization of its products. Such agreements could obligate the Company to diligently bring potential products to market, make milestone payments and royalties that, in some instances, could be substantial, and incur the costs of filing and prosecuting patent applications. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to establish or maintain collaborations that are important to its business on favorable terms, or at all.

Previous wording

The Company has signed Non-Disclosure Agreements (“NDA”) with many different third parties. As is customary in the industry. There is no guarantee that, despite the terms of the NDA which bind third parties, the Company will ultimately be able to prevent from such third parties from breaching their obligations under the NDA. Use of the Company’s confidential information in an unauthorized manner is likely to negatively affect the Company.

If the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities approve generic versions of any of our products that receive marketing approval, or such authorities do not grant our products appropriate periods of exclusivity before approving generic versions of our products, the sales of our products could be adversely affected.

Current wording

Although there are currently no approved generic cell therapies that BriaCell is aware of, if the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities approve generic versions of any of our products that receive marketing approval, or such authorities do not grant our products appropriate periods of exclusivity before approving generic versions of our products, the sales of our products could be adversely affected.

Previous wording

HIPPA, and the regulations that have been issued under it, and similar laws outside the United States, contains substantial restrictions and requirements with respect to the use and disclosure of individuals’ protected health information. The HIPAA privacy rules prohibit “covered entities,” such as healthcare providers and health plans, from using or disclosing an individual’s protected health information, unless the use or disclosure is authorized by the individual or is specifically required or permitted under the privacy rules. Under the HIPAA security rules, covered entities must establish administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of electronic protected health information maintained or transmitted by them or by others on their behalf. While we do not believe that we will be a covered entity under HIPAA, we believe many of our customers will be covered entities subject to HIPAA. Such customers may require us to enter into business associate agreements, which will obligate us to safeguard certain health information we obtain in the course of our relationship with them, restrict the manner in which we use and disclose such information and impose liability on us for failure to meet our contractual obligations.

Previous wording

The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception, including net losses of $26,311,867 and $4,791,466 in the fiscal years ended 2025 and 2024, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $111,755,564 and $85,443,697 as of July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024, respectively. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate positive cash flows from operations and to secure additional sources of equity and/or debt financing. Despite the Company’s intent to fund operations through equity and debt financing arrangements, there is no assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

BriaCell is a development stage immune-oncology biotechnology corporation that to date has not recorded any revenues from the sale of diagnostic or therapeutic products. Since incorporation, BriaCell has accumulated net losses and expects such losses to continue as it commences product and pre-clinical development and eventually enters into license agreements for its technology. We incurred net losses of $26,311,867 and $4,791,466 in the fiscal years ended 2025 and 2024, respectively. Management expects to continue to incur substantial operating losses unless and until such time as product sales generate sufficient revenues to fund continuing operations. BriaCell has neither a history of earnings nor has it paid any dividends, and it is unlikely to pay dividends or enjoy earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future.

Previous wording

As of October 15, 2025, we had outstanding restricted share units, options and warrants to purchase 1,938,873 common shares, respectively. The holders of these restricted share units, options and warrants are given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common shares. We may find it more difficult to raise additional equity capital while these options and warrants are outstanding. At any time during which these securities are likely to be exercised, we may be unable to obtain additional equity capital on more favorable terms from other sources. Additionally, the exercise of these options and warrants will cause an increase of our outstanding common shares, which could have the effect of substantially diluting the interests of our current shareholders.

Current wording

As of October 28, 2026, we had outstanding restricted share units, performance share units, options and warrants to purchase 8,462,889 common shares, in the aggregate. The holders of these restricted share units, performance share units, options, and warrants are given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common shares.

Previous wording

Sales of a substantial number of our common shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of our common shares. As of October 15, 2025, we have 1,938,873 shares issuable upon exercise of restricted share units, options and warrants. Sales of shares by these shareholders could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our common shares. We intend to register the offering, issuance, and sale of all common shares that we may issue under our equity compensation plans. Once we register these shares, they can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to volume limitations applicable to affiliates and the lock-up agreements.

Previous wording

In the event a market develops for our common shares or Warrants, the market price of our common shares or Warrants may be highly volatile. Some of the factors that may materially affect the market price of our common shares or Warrants are beyond our control, such as changes in financial estimates by industry and securities analysts, conditions or trends in the industry in which we operate or sales of our common shares or Warrants. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of our common shares or Warrants, regardless of our performance. In addition, the public stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our Common shares.

BriaCell expects that its current cash and cash equivalent reserves will be sufficient to meet its anticipated needs for working capital and capital expenditures for the near future. In the future, the Company may also arrange financings to give it the financial flexibility to pursue attractive acquisition or investment opportunities that may arise. The Company may pursue additional financing through various means, including equity investments, issuances of debt, joint venture projects, licensing arrangements or through other means. The Company cannot be certain that it will be able to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms or at all. The Company’s ability to obtain additional financing may be impaired by such factors as the status of capital markets, both generally and specifically in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, and by the fact that it is a new enterprise without a proven operating history. If the amount of capital raised from additional financing activities, together with revenues from operations (if any), is not sufficient to satisfy the Company’s capital needs, it may not be able to develop or advance its products, execute its business and growth plans, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated customer or partner requirements. If any of these events occur, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. Any future equity financings undertaken are likely to be dilutive to existing shareholders. Finally, the terms of securities issued in future capital transactions may include preferences that are more favorable to new investors.

Canadian legislation could discourage potential acquisition proposals, delay or prevent a change in control and limit the price that certain investors may be willing to pay for our subordinate voting shares. For instance, a non-Canadian must file an application for review with the Minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act and obtain approval of the Minister prior to acquiring control of a “Canadian business” within the meaning of the Investment Canada Act, where prescribed financial thresholds are exceeded. Furthermore, limitations on the ability to acquire and hold our subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares may be imposed by the Competition Act (Canada). This legislation permits the Commissioner of Competition to review any acquisition or establishment, directly or indirectly, including through the acquisition of shares, of control over or of a significant interest in us. Otherwise, there are no limitations either under the laws of Canada or British Columbia, or in our articles on the rights of non-Canadians to hold or vote our subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares. Any of these provisions may discourage a potential acquirer from proposing or completing a transaction that may have otherwise presented a premium to our shareholders.

Because we are a corporation incorporated in British Columbia and some of our directors and officers are resident in Canada or other countries, it may be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce civil liabilities against us based solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States.

Previous wording

In addition, geopolitical developments and international conflicts—such as instability or war in the Middle East, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, or a deterioration in relations between the United States and China—may contribute to global uncertainty, disrupt financial and commodity markets, and adversely affect investor risk appetite. Resulting government actions, including the imposition of sanctions, export controls, tariffs, or other trade restrictions, could disrupt global supply chains and trade flows, further exacerbating inflationary or recessionary pressures. Such events may impair our ability to source key raw materials, reagents, or specialized components required for our research and development programs and clinical manufacturing activities, potentially leading to increased costs, delays in development timelines, or operational interruptions.

Resulting government actions, including the imposition of sanctions, export controls, tariffs, or other trade restrictions, could disrupt global supply chains and trade flows, further exacerbating inflationary or recessionary pressures. Such events may impair our ability to source key raw materials, reagents, or specialized components required for our research and development programs and clinical manufacturing activities, potentially leading to increased costs, delays in development timelines, or operational interruptions.
