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 therapy into potential treatments. 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”).

Reverse Stock Split

On January 15, 2025,* the Company filed an amendment (the “Reverse Split Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the 1-for-50 reverse stock split of the Company's shares of common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 50 shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split were combined and converted intoone share of common stock without any change in the par value per share. The Reverse Stock Split became effective on January 15, 2025, and the common stock was quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split basis at the open of business on January 16, 2025. *No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would have otherwise been entitled to a fraction ofone share of common stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split instead receiveda proportional cash payment.

All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $14.2 million. The Company has funded its operations to date primarily with the proceeds from various public and private offerings of its common stock. It 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, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $396.9 million.

The Company will require substantial additional financings through equity and/or 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 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.

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 financial statements are issued. The Company made strategic decisions in 2024, including a significant reduction in its workforce and the termination of certain license agreements. In February 2025, the Company

terminated the operating lease of its Plantation Street Facility and sold its remaining equipment to preserve capital and prioritize the allocation of resources for clinical programs. The Company continues to pursue raising additional cash resources primarily through public or private equity 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.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

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. 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, 2024, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 28, 2025 (the “2024 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.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business inone segment, which reflects the research and development of potential cures for difficult-to-treat cancers and autoimmune diseases. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its chief executive officer.

The CODM assesses performance for the research and development segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss, which is reported on the Unaudited Statements of Operations. The CODM uses net loss to evaluate costs to develop its pipeline. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in this Note 2.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies previously disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

As of March 31, 2025, there were no new accounting pronouncements or updates to recently issued accounting pronouncements disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K that affect the Company’s present or future results of operations, overall financial condition, liquidity, or disclosures upon adoption.

The value of these shares was recorded as Common stock issuable – Annual Stock Dividend to Fortress in the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity at December 31, 2024.

Payables and Accrued Expenses Related Party

Note 4 – Property, Plant and Equipment, Net and Held for Sale

In February 2025, the Company terminated the lease of its Plantation Street Facility. The remaining lease liability of approximately $0.8 million was reversed, and the remaining leasehold improvements of approximately $0.3 million and right of use assets of approximately $0.1 million were written off, resulting in a net gain of $0.4 million recorded in research and development expense in the Unaudited Statements of Operations.

Note 7 – Net Loss per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including prefunded warrants and shares held in abeyance, during the period, without consideration of potential dilutive securities. For periods in which the Company generated a net loss, the Company does not include potential shares of common stock in diluted net loss per share when the impact of these items is anti-dilutive. The Company has generated a net loss for all periods presented; therefore diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, since the inclusion of potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive.

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)For the three months ended March 31, 2025, total warrants exclude 1,492,807 pre-funded warrants issued in connection with the February 2025 Offering. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, total warrants exclude 19,280 pre-funded warrants issued in connection with the October 2023 Registered Direct Offering, respectively. The shares underlying the pre-funded warrants are included in the basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
(2)Class A preferred shares are reflected on an as-if converted basis.

The Company considers Class A common stock and Class A preferred stock to be additional classes of common stock for the purpose of calculating net loss per share, as they do not have preferential rights when compared to the Company’s common stock, and therefore losses are allocated to these additional classes using the two-class method. 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. At March 31, 2025, the Class A common stock and Class A preferred stock have rights to convert to a total of 1,460 common shares.

Note 8 – 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.
