Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

Note 1 - Organization, Description of Business and Liquidity and Capital Resources

Mustang Bio, Inc. (the “Company” or “Mustang”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 13, 2015. Mustang is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on translating medical breakthroughs in cell and gene therapy into potential cures for hematologic cancers and solid tumors. The Company may acquire rights to these technologies by licensing the rights or otherwise acquiring an ownership interest in the technologies, funding their research and development and eventually either out-licensing or bringing the technologies to market.

The Company is a majority-controlled subsidiary of Fortress Biotech, Inc. (“Fortress” or “Parent”).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has incurred substantial operating losses and expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $386.2 million.

The Company has funded its operations to date primarily through the sale of equity and via debt raises. The Company expects to continue to use the proceeds from its previous financing transactions and asset sale primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Company will require substantial additional financings through equity and debt offerings, collaborations and licensing arrangements or other sources to fully develop, prepare regulatory filings, obtain regulatory approvals and commercialize its existing product candidates. The continuation of our business as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional capital and eventually attaining and maintaining profitable operations.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Going Concern, the Company evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. This evaluation initially does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists under this methodology, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. In performing its evaluation, management excluded certain elements of its operating plan that cannot be considered probable. Under ASC 205-40, the future receipt of potential funding from future equity or debt issuances cannot be considered probable at this time because these plans are not entirely within the Company’s control nor have been approved by the Board of Directors as of the date of these financial statements.

The Company's expectation to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows in the future, and the need for additional funding to support its planned operations raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that these unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company made strategic decisions, including a significant reduction in the workforce by approximately 81% in April 2024, and terminated certain license agreements with St. Jude and Leiden University Medical Centre, also in April 2024 to preserve capital and prioritize the allocation of resources. The Company continues to pursue additional cash resources through public or private equity or debt financings. The Company has concluded that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of issuance of these unaudited financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 11, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim period.

Use of Estimates

The Company’s unaudited financial statements include certain amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. The Company’s significant estimates include, but are not limited to, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Due to the uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.

In June 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the ESPP to increase the number of authorized shares issuable by 40,000 shares. In addition, in June 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the ESPP to increase the number of authorized shares issuable thereunder by 400,000 for a total of 466,667 shares.

As of March 31, 2024,128,352 shares have been purchased and 338,315 shares are available for future sale under the Company’s ESPP.

Warrants

A summary of warrant activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024, is presented below:

Upon the cashless exercise of warrants, the Company will issue new shares of common stock. In connection with the Company’s Registered Direct Offering on October 26, 2023, the Company issued pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,668,236 shares of common stock, and in a concurrent private placement, the Company issued unregistered warrants to purchase up to 2,588,236 shares of common stock, which were subsequently registered in April 2024 on Form S-1 (File No. 333-275997). In connection with these offerings, H.C. Wainwright received Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 155,294 shares of common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2024,704,236 of the pre-funded warrants were exercised at an exercise price of$0.001. In connection with the Public Offering the Company completed in May 2024, the 2,588,236 unregistered warrants were repriced from the original exercise price of $1.58 to $0.237. See Note 12 below.

Note 9 – Net Loss per Share

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period less unvested restricted stock. Since dividends are declared, paid and set aside among the holders of shares of common stock and Class A common shares pro-rata on an as-if-converted basis, the two-class method of computing net loss per share is not required. Diluted net loss per share does not reflect the effect of shares of common stock to be issued upon the exercise of warrants or outstanding Class A preferred shares, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that treats participating securities as having rights that would otherwise have been available to common stockholders. In addition, as our non-pre-funded warrants are participating securities, we are required to calculate diluted earnings per share under the if-converted method and utilize the most dilutive result. In periods where there is a net loss, no allocation of undistributed net loss to non-pre-funded warrants is performed as the holders of our non-pre-funded warrants are not contractually obligated to participate in our losses.

The table below summarizes potentially dilutive securities that were not considered in the computation of diluted net loss per share because they would be anti-dilutive.

(1)Excludes 964,000 pre-funded warrants, issued in connection with the Company’s October 2023 Registered Direct Offering. The shares underlying the pre-funded warrants are included in basic net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

The Company incurred net operating losses and recorded a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets for all periods presented. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a provision for federal or state income taxes.

The Company is subject to US federal and state income taxes. Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of Management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

Indemnification

In accordance with its Certificate of Incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and indemnification agreements, the Company has indemnification obligations to its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while they are serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The Company has director and officer insurance to address such claims. The Company also provides indemnification of contractual counterparties in certain situations, including without limitation to clinical sites, service providers and licensors.

Leases

The Company leases office space and copiers under agreements classified as operating leases that expire on various dates through 2030. The Company’s lease liabilities result from the lease of its Mercantile Center Facility, which expires in 2030, its Plantation Street Facility, which expires in 2026, and its copiers, which expire in 2024. Such leases do not require any contingent rental payments, impose any financial restrictions, or contain any residual value guarantees. Certain of the Company’s leases include renewal options and escalation clauses; renewal options have not been included in the calculation of the lease liabilities and right of use assets as the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise the options. The Company does not act as a lessor or have any leases classified as financing leases. At March 31, 2024, the Company had operating lease liabilities of $2.4 million and right of use assets of $1.5 million, which were included in the Unaudited

Balance Sheet. At December 31, 2023, the Company had operating lease liabilities of $2.5 million and right of use assets of $1.6 million, which were included in the Unaudited Balance Sheet.

Maturities of our operating leases, excluding short-term leases, are as follows:

Note 12 – Subsequent Events

April 2024 Reduction in Work Force

On April 10, 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved a reduction of the Company’s workforce by approximately 81% of its employee base in order to reduce costs and preserve capital due to the fundraising environment and continued uncertainty regarding the CFIUS review of the transaction with uBriGene. The workforce reduction occurred primarily in April 2024 and is expected to be substantially completed in the second quarter of 2024. As a result of these actions, the Company expects to incur personnel-related restructuring charges of approximately $0.2 million in connection with one-time employee termination cash expenditures, which are expected to be incurred in the second quarter of 2024. The Company may also incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or associated with, the workforce reduction or retention efforts. The estimates of the costs expected to be incurred, and the timing thereof, are subject to various assumptions and actual costs may differ. The Company and its board of directors continue to evaluate all strategic and other alternatives related to the business.

Public Offering

On May 2, 2024, the Company completed a best efforts public offering (the “Offering”) of its securities pursuant to which it issued and sold to an institutional investor (the “Investor”) (i)1,160,000 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 15,717,638 shares of common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”), (iii) Series A-1 warrants (the “Series A-1 Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 16,877,638 shares of common stock (the “Series A-1 Common Warrant Shares”), (iv) Series A-2 warrants (the “Series A-2 Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 16,877,638 shares of common stock (the “Series A-2 Warrant Shares”), and (v) Series A-3 warrants (the “Series A-3 Warrants,” and together with the Series A-1 Warrants and Series A-2 Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 16,877,638 shares of common stock (the “Series A-3 Warrant Shares”).

The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, are exercisable immediately and will expire when exercised in full. Each Warrant will be exercisable beginning on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the Warrants (“Warrant Stockholder Approval”). The Series A-1 Warrant will expire on thefive-year anniversary of the Warrant Stockholder Approval. The Series A-2 Warrant will expire on thetwenty four month anniversary of the Warrant Stockholder Approval. The Series A-3 Warrant will expire on thenine month anniversary of the Warrant Stockholder Approval.

The net proceeds of the Offering, after deducting the fees and expenses of the placement agent for the Offering and other offering expenses payable by the Company, but excluding the net proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Warrants, was approximately $3.3 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Warrant Amendment Agreement
