Current report

As part of a complete overhaul of the clinical operating infrastructure, we have transitioned management of the 4WARD trial to a premier Clinical Research Organization (“CRO”) to further strengthen the study execution and support completion of enrollment. In August 2026, we received written responses from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to our Type C meeting request seeking alignment on a revised sample size and associated statistical power and the size of the safety database to support a potential supplemental new drug application (“sNDA”) for mavorixafor for the treatment of chronic neutropenia in 4WARD. The FDA stated that, from a statistical perspective, the reduction in sample size for the 4WARD trial from 176 to 126 participants maintains adequate overall power for the co-primary endpoints of the reduction in annualized infection rate and positive absolute neutrophil count response. In addition, the FDA indicated that the proposed safety database appears acceptable to support a potential sNDA, although its adequacy would remain a review issue. We expect to complete enrollment in the 4WARD trial by the end of 2026.

Current report

In October 2026, we announced the initiation of a global, Phase 2b clinical trial (the “4STEPS” trial) designed to evaluate whether G-CSF dosage can be safely reduced in patients with PCN after starting doses of mavorixafor while maintaining stable neutrophil counts. The trial is designed to enroll approximately 25 patients, with the first participant expected to be enrolled in the first quarter of 2027 and top-line data expected in the first quarter of 2028.

Current report

K2 Loan Agreement. The first tranche term loan of $80.0 million was funded at the closing on October 7, 2026, and we used substantially all of the proceeds to repay in full all outstanding obligations under the Hercules Loan Agreement. The total payoff amount was approximately $78.7 million, consisting of $75.0 million of outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, the end of term charge, the prepayment charge and related fees and expenses. The K2 Loan Agreement requires that we meet certain operational and financial covenants, including a minimum liquidity covenant commencing October 1, 2027, and a minimum net product revenue covenant commencing April 1, 2029, each as described in Note 16.

Previous wording

The FDA has granted Fast Track designation to mavorixafor for the treatment of CN, which is defined as periods lasting more than three months persistently or intermittently where there are abnormally low levels of neutrophils circulating in the blood, and may be idiopathic (of unknown origin), cyclic (episodes typically occurring every three weeks), or congenital (of genetic causation). CN disorders are rare blood conditions similarly characterized by increased risks of infections and cancer due to abnormally low levels of neutrophils in the body. In all cases, the CXCL12/CXCR4 pathway is the key regulator of neutrophil release from the bone marrow.

Current wording

We are a biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing novel therapeutics for the treatment of rare hematology diseases. We continue to progress our global, pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial (the “4WARD” trial) to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of oral, once-daily mavorixafor, with or without stable doses of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (“G-CSF”) in people with primary chronic neutropenia (congenital, acquired autoimmune, or idiopathic) (“PCN”) who are experiencing recurrent and/or serious infections. Mavorixafor has been granted Fast Track designation for the treatment of PCN, which is defined as periods lasting more than three months persistently or intermittently where there are abnormally low levels of neutrophils circulating in the blood, and may be idiopathic (of unknown origin), cyclic (episodes typically occurring every three weeks), or congenital (of genetic causation). PCN disorders are rare blood conditions similarly characterized by increased risks of infections and cancer due to abnormally low levels of neutrophils in the body. In all cases, the CXCL12/CXCR4 pathway is the key regulator of neutrophil release from the bone marrow.

Previous wording

We have one commercially approved product, XOLREMDI® (mavorixafor), which has received accelerated approval in the United States from the FDA for use as an oral, once-daily therapy in patients 12 years of age and older with WHIM (warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myelokathexis) syndrome, to increase the number of circulating mature neutrophils and lymphocytes. WHIM syndrome is a rare combined primary immunodeficiency and CN disorder. We are committed to making XOLREMDI available to patients in need in the U.S. while maintaining our focus on our long-term strategy to successfully complete the 4WARD trial in patients with moderate and severe CN.

Current wording

Net product revenue growth over the prior year periods was primarily due to an increase in the number of patients who have been prescribed the Company’s drug product. Gross-to-net adjustments were approximately 10% in the first half of 2026. Co-pay assistance payments and rebates to U.S. government payors have comprised the majority of our gross-to-net revenue adjustments.

License and other revenue was not significant in the three months ended June 30, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, license and other revenue was primarily comprised of $27.6 million in license revenue in connection with the delivery of a license upon the execution of the Norgine Agreement and$0.5 million for the provision of research and development services thereunder.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, license and other revenue was primarily comprised of $27.6 million in license revenue in connection with the delivery of a license upon the execution of the Norgine Agreement and$0.7 million for the provision of research and development services thereunder.

Previous wording

Cost of revenue primarily consists of amortization of an intangible asset related to milestone payments associated with our Genzyme license agreement, cost of manufactured drug product sold, and sales-based or sublicense-based royalty payments due under our Genzyme license agreement. Cost of revenue increased $1.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior year due to an increase in net product sales and an increase in drug supply sales. Cost of revenue decreased $2.8 million in thesix months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to prior year royalties due under our Genzyme license agreement associated with sublicense income from the Norgine Agreement that did not reoccur in the current period, partially offset by higher intangible amortization in the current period.

Previous wording

Research and development expenses decreased by $3.3 million and $6.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to lower compensation and related benefit costs as a result of strategic restructuring actions implemented in the prior year, partially offset by higher clinical costs, primarily CRO costs related to our 4WARD trial.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, research and development expenses allocated to mavorixafor, primarily CRO costs, increased to$29.6 million as compared to $28.2 million in the prior year as we continue to advance our 4WARD trial. The increase in the current nine month period was offset by lower unallocated expenses in the current period, primarily due tolower compensation and related benefit costs as a result of lower head count in the research and development organizations relative to the prior year.

Previous wording

General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.0 million and $9.1 million for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease for the three month period was primarily due to a reduction in legal, IT and sales and marketing costs, partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expense. The decrease for the six month period was primarily due to a significant reduction in sales and marketing expenses related to our approved drug product, a reduction in outside legal expenses, and reductions in compensation costs due to lower head count in general and administrative functions.

Current wording

General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.5 million and $11.6 million for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year.
