Current wording

We are a commercial stage biopharmaceutical company with a limited operating history. We have historically incurred net losses. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, our net loss was $232.0 million and $187.6 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,570.5 million and cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $981.5 million.

Previous wording

We may need to secure substantial additional capital to continue to fund our operations in the future. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace, results and costs of our clinical development efforts, our ability to generate revenues from sales of veligrotug and elegrobart in the U.S., if approved, and macroeconomic conditions affecting our business and industry.

Current wording

We may need to secure substantial additional capital to continue to fund our operations in the future. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace, results and costs of our clinical development efforts, our ability to generate revenues from sales of veligrotug and, if elegrobart is approved, elegrobart, and macroeconomic conditions affecting our business and industry.

Previous wording

We have devoted substantially all of our financial resources to identifying, acquiring and developing our product candidates, including conducting clinical trials and providing selling, general and administrative support for our operations. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, convertible promissory notes, the Hercules Loan and Security Agreement, the Kissei Agreement, and the DRI Purchase and Sale Agreement. The amount of our future net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of our future expenditures and our ability to obtain funding through equity, debt financings or other non-dilutive sources of capital, or strategic collaborations. Biopharmaceutical product development is a highly speculative undertaking and involves a substantial degree of risk. We expect our losses to increase as our product candidates continue advancing through clinical development and as new product candidates enter clinical trials and then advance through clinical development. We expect to invest significant funds into the research and development of our current product candidates to determine the potential to advance these product candidates to regulatory approval.

Previous wording

If we obtain regulatory approval to market a product candidate, our future revenue will depend upon the size of any markets in which our product candidates may receive approval, and our ability to establish and maintain a commercial supply chain in each market, achieve sufficient market acceptance, pricing, coverage, and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors, and adequate market share for our product candidates in those markets. Additionally, patients and physicians may not use our products as intended, if approved, which could impact the pricing and reimbursement of our products.

Current wording

Our future revenue will depend upon market acceptance and our ability to commercialize veligrotug, obtaining regulatory approval to market our additional product candidates, the size of any markets in which our product candidates may receive approval, and our ability to establish and maintain a commercial supply chain in each market, achieve sufficient market acceptance, pricing, coverage, and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors, and adequate market share for our current product and product candidates, including veligrotug, and additional products we may develop in the future.

As of March 31, 2026, we had $762.2 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. We expect that our current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will enable us to fund our planned operations for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. We may need to secure additional capital to continue to fund our operations and service our obligations in the future. If we are unable to secure additional capital when needed, we will not be able to continue as a going concern.

Previous wording

We do not currently have any products approved for sale and do not generate any revenue from product sales. Accordingly, until we begin to generate revenue from product sales, if any of our product candidates are approved, we expect to rely primarily on equity and/or debt financings or other non-dilutive sources of capital to fund our continued operations. Our ability to raise additional funds will depend, in part, on the success of our nonclinical studies and clinical trials and other product development activities, regulatory events, our ability to identify and enter into licensing or other strategic arrangements, and other events or conditions that may affect our value or prospects, as well as factors related to financial, economic and market conditions, many of which are beyond our control. For example, even if our clinical trials generate data that we view favorably, investors may not share our interpretation of these data, and we may be unable to raise additional funds. There can be no assurances that sufficient funds will be available to us when required or on acceptable terms, if at all.

Current wording

Veligrotug is our only product approved for sale in the United States and prior to approval, we had not generated revenue from product sales.

We have never generated any revenue from product sales and may never be profitable.

Current wording

Prior to marketing approval of veligrotug, we had not generated revenue from product sales and may never be profitable.

Previous wording

We have no products approved for commercialization and have never generated any revenue from product sales. Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability depends on our ability, alone or with strategic collaborators, to successfully complete the development of, obtain the regulatory and marketing approvals, and build and maintain a commercial supply chain necessary to commercialize one or more of our product candidates. We do not anticipate generating revenue from product sales until our product candidates receive marketing authorization, if ever. Even if we receive such authorization, our ability to generate future revenue from product sales depends heavily on our success in many areas, including but not limited to:

Previous wording

Even if one or more of the product candidates that we develop is approved for commercial sale, we anticipate incurring significant costs associated with commercializing any approved product candidate. Portions of our current pipeline of product candidates have been in-licensed from third parties, which make the commercial sale of such in-licensed products potentially subject to additional royalty and milestone payments to such third parties. We will also have to develop or acquire manufacturing capabilities or continue to contract with contract manufacturers in order to continue development and potential commercialization of our product candidates. For instance, if the costs of manufacturing our drug product are not commercially feasible, we will need to develop or procure our drug product in a commercially feasible manner in order to successfully commercialize a future approved product, if any.

Previous wording

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenue from the sale of our product candidates, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, and license and development agreements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities or convertible debt securities, or other sources of capital, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a stockholder. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, making additional product acquisitions, or declaring dividends.

Previous wording

In October 2025, we entered into the Purchase and Sale Agreement with DRI. In addition to the $55.0 million we received at signing, the agreement made available to us up to an additional $245.0 million in milestone payments at signing. However, these additional milestone payments are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions related to certain elegrobart clinical trials and regulatory approvals or commercial sales of veligrotug and elegrobart on or prior to a certain date. Should we not satisfy the conditions of the applicable milestones, or if we fail to meet our obligations or default under this agreement, the actual amount of additional milestone payments to us could be substantially less than the maximum amounts available thereunder. Based on our operations to date, up to an additional $205 million in milestone payments remains available to us. In the event of a change of control on or prior to a certain date, the Company has the option to repurchase, and DRI may require the Company to repurchase, the revenue participation right from DRI for the multiplier amount (less payments to date).

We expect that the THRIVE and THRIVE-2 phase 3 clinical trials, together with a safety database comprising at least 300 treated patients (safety database inclusive of THRIVE and THRIVE-2 patients), will support global health authority registration for veligrotug for marketing approval in both active and chronic TED, respectively. However, the FDA or other regulatory authorities may require additional patients in this safety database or may require us to take other additional steps. We are also conducting a global pivotal program for elegrobart, where we expect that the REVEAL-1 and REVEAL-2 phase 3 clinical trials, together with a safety database comprising at least 300 treated patients (safety database inclusive of REVEAL-1 and REVEAL-2 patients), will support global health authority registration for elegrobart for marketing approval in both active and chronic TED, respectively. The FDA or other regulatory authorities may require additional patients in this safety database or may require us to take other additional steps. Additionally, Viridian is performing an autoinjector PK study for elegrobart to bridge bioequivalence from the vial/syringe used in the REVEAL-1 and REVEAL-2 trials and the autoinjector, with which we plan to launch commercially. However, the results may not show bioequivalence and/or global health authorities may not agree with the methodologies employed to support bioequivalence. If either of these occur, our BLA for elegrobart and/or its marketing approval may be significantly delayed or abandoned.

Even if we obtain regulatory approval for a product candidate, we will remain subject to ongoing regulatory requirements.

Current wording

We remain subject to ongoing regulatory oversight.

Previous wording

If any of our product candidates are approved, we will be subject to ongoing regulatory requirements with respect to manufacturing, labeling, packaging, storage, advertising, promotion, sampling, record-keeping, conduct of post-marketing clinical trials, and submission of safety, efficacy, and other post-approval information, including both federal and state requirements in the United States, and requirements of the EMA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities.

If any of our other product candidates are approved, we will also remain subject to these ongoing regulatory requirements with respect to such product candidates.

Previous wording

Any regulatory approvals that we receive for our product candidates may be subject to limitations on the approved indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or to the conditions of approval, or contain requirements for potentially costly post-marketing testing, including phase 4 clinical trials, and surveillance to monitor the safety and efficacy of the marketed product. We will be required to report adverse reactions and production problems, if any, to the FDA, EMA, and any relevant comparable foreign regulatory authorities. Any new legislation could result in delays in product development or commercialization, or increased costs to ensure compliance. If our original marketing approval for a product candidate was granted accelerated approval by the FDA, we could be required to conduct a successful post-marketing clinical trial in order to confirm the clinical benefit of our products. Other regulatory authorities outside of the U.S. may have similar requirements. An unsuccessful post-marketing clinical trial or failure to complete such a trial could result in the withdrawal of marketing approval. We and any of our suppliers or collaborators, including our CDMOs, would be subject to periodic inspections by the FDA, EMA, and, as applicable, comparable foreign regulatory authorities to monitor compliance with cGMPs and other FDA, EMA, and, as applicable, any comparable foreign regulatory requirements. Application holders must further notify the FDA, and any comparable foreign regulatory authorities, as applicable, and depending on the nature of the change, obtain FDA pre-approval or pre-approval from other comparable foreign regulatory authorities, as applicable, for product and manufacturing changes.

Previous wording

We must comply with requirements concerning advertising and promotion for any product candidates for which we seek or obtain marketing approval. Promotional communications with respect to drugs and biologics are subject to a variety of legal and regulatory restrictions by the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities as well as industry codes of conduct. When the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities issue regulatory approval for a product candidate, the regulatory approval is limited to those specific uses and indications for which a product is approved. If we are not able to obtain FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authority approval for desired uses or indications for our product candidates, we may not market or promote them for those indications and uses, and our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and reputation may be materially harmed. We also must sufficiently substantiate any claims that we make for our products, including claims comparing our products to other companies’ products, and must abide by the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authority’s strict requirements regarding the content of promotion and advertising.

Previous wording

The FDA and other regulatory authorities have substantial discretion in the approval process, including determining when or whether regulatory approval will be obtained for a product candidate. Even if we believe the data collected from clinical trials are promising, such data may not be sufficient to support approval by the FDA or any other regulatory authority or such authorities may request additional information that may be difficult to generate or provide. Further, following approval, the FDA or other regulatory authorities may conduct additional inspections and, based on the results of such inspections, deem the inspected manufacturing facilities to be deficient, suspending our ability to manufacture our product candidates until we can secure satisfactory alternative manufacturing facilities. Additionally, the ability of the FDA to review and approve new products, to provide feedback on clinical trials and development programs, to meet with sponsors and to otherwise review regulatory submissions can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels; the ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept the payment of user fees; and statutory, regulatory, and policy changes, among other factors. Average review times have fluctuated in recent years as a result. Delays at the FDA as a result of these or other factors could impact the FDA’s ability to act on our BLA submission for veligrotug by the PDUFA target action date of June 30, 2026, or any of our other regulatory submissions.

Since the start of the current presidential administration in 2025, U.S. policy changes have been implemented at a rapid pace and additional changes are likely. The administration and federal government could adopt legislation, regulations, policies, or guidances that adversely affect our business or negatively impact the development, approval, and commercialization of our products, including creating a more challenging or costly environment in which to work. A federal government shutdown may result in the furlough of federal employees, reduced availability of government services, and suspension or delay of activities by key agencies that regulate, fund, or interact with our business, including the FDA, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies may also slow the time necessary for new drugs to be reviewed and/or approved by necessary government agencies, which would adversely affect our business. For example, in recent years including from October 1, 2025 to November 12, 2025, the U.S. government has shut down several times and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, have had to furlough critical FDA employees and stop critical activities. Following the reopening of the U.S. government on November 12, 2025, there was a backlog of regulatory submissions which could delay the ability of the FDA to review our regulatory submissions. Any such delays could have a material adverse effect on our business, such as delaying the FDA’s review and oversight of our product candidates and impact FDA’s ability to provide timely feedback on our development programs, including through Type C or Type D meetings or informal interactions. Additionally, reductions in workforce or other disruptions to the agency, particularly in the review or inspection divisions, could extend BLA review timelines, including for our BLA for veligrotug, delay or prevent pre-approval inspections, and limit opportunities for FDA feedback on pending applications. Further, FDA may pursue legislative, regulatory, or policy changes regarding the standards or processes for approving our product candidates that we may be unable to satisfy.

Clinical trials by their nature utilize a sample of the potential patient population. With a limited number of subjects and limited duration of exposure, we cannot be fully assured that rare and severe side effects of our product candidates will be uncovered and whether the real world safety and effectiveness of a product candidate will be consistent with the safety and effectiveness profile seen in clinical studies. Such rare and severe side effects may only be uncovered with a significantly larger number of patients or subjects exposed to the drug. New data relating to veligrotug, including from adverse events reports and any potential post-marketing commitments or requirements in the United States, and from other ongoing clinical studies, including those of our partners, may result in changes to the product labeling and may adversely affect sales, or result in withdrawal of veligrotug from the market. The FDA and regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions may also consider the new data in reviewing veligrotug’s marketing applications for additional indications and/or in other jurisdictions, or may impose post-approval commitments or requirements. If any of these actions were to occur, it could result in significant expense and delay and/or limit our ability to generate sales revenues.

Current wording

Clinical trials by their nature utilize a sample of the potential patient population.

Previous wording

In March 2026, we announced topline data from the phase 3 REVEAL-1 trial of elegrobart in patients with active TED and in May 2026, we announced topline data from the phase 3 REVEAL-2 trial of elegrobart in patients with chronic TED. This data may not be fully reflective of the final results for these trials. If final results from these trials are not positive or favorable, it could negatively impact or alter the development of veligrotug or elegrobart and could materially harm our business prospects. If clinical data from the veligrotug trials are not positive or favorable, it could negatively impact or alter the development of elegrobart and could materially harm our business prospects. Similarly, negative or unfavorable clinical data from our elegrobart product candidate could negatively impact veligrotug and could materially harm our business prospects.

Previous wording

Topline or preliminary data from our clinical trials that we announce or publish from time to time, including the data from our phase 1 study in healthy volunteers, the data for veligrotug from our ongoing trials, and topline data may change as more patient data become available and we become subject to audit and verification procedures that could result in material changes in the final data. The final results of clinical trials may include additional outcome measurements made throughout the duration of the clinical trial. This creates a risk that the final results could be materially different from the preliminary results reported, including those reported to date, and may include additional outcome measurements made throughout the duration of the clinical trial that are not positive or favorable. Additionally, differences in patient populations across our clinical trials may lead to inconsistent or unrepresentative data.

Previous wording

We may face liability for our products, if approved, and for our product candidates, and if successful claims are brought against us, we may incur substantial liability and costs. If the use or misuse of our approved products, if any, or product candidates harm patients or subjects, or is perceived to harm patients or subjects even when such harm is unrelated to our approved products, if any, or product candidates, our regulatory approvals, if any, could be revoked or otherwise negatively impacted, and we could be subject to costly and damaging product liability claims. If we are unable to obtain adequate insurance or are required to pay for liabilities resulting from a claim excluded from, or beyond the limits of, our insurance coverage, a material liability claim could adversely affect our financial condition.

Previous wording

The use or misuse of our product candidates in clinical trials and the sale of any products for which we may obtain marketing approval exposes us to the risk of potential product liability claims. There is a risk that our product candidates may induce adverse events. If we cannot successfully defend against product liability claims, we could incur substantial liability and costs. Patients with the diseases targeted by our product candidates may already be in severe and advanced stages of disease and have both known and unknown significant preexisting and potentially life-threatening health risks. During the course of treatment, patients may suffer adverse events, including death, for reasons that may or may not be related to our product candidates. Such events could subject us to costly litigation, require us to pay substantial amounts of money to injured patients, delay, negatively impact, or end our opportunity to receive or maintain regulatory approval to market our products, or require us to suspend or abandon our commercialization efforts. Even in a circumstance in which an adverse event is unrelated to our product candidates, the investigation into the circumstance may be time-consuming or inconclusive. These investigations may delay our regulatory approval process or impact and limit the type of regulatory approvals our product candidates receive or maintain.

Previous wording

Although we have product liability insurance, which covers our historical clinical trials, for up to $10.0 million per occurrence, up to an aggregate limit of $10.0 million, our insurance may be insufficient to reimburse us for any expenses or losses we may suffer. We will also likely be required to increase our product liability insurance coverage for any future clinical trials that we may initiate. If we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we will need to expand our insurance coverage to include the sale of commercial products. There is no way to know if we will be able to continue to obtain product liability coverage and obtain expanded coverage, if we require it, in sufficient amounts to protect us against losses due to liability, on acceptable terms, or at all. We may not have sufficient resources to pay for any liabilities resulting from a claim excluded from, or beyond the limits of, our insurance coverage. Where we have provided indemnities in favor of third parties under our agreements with them, there is also a risk that these third parties could incur liability and bring a claim under such indemnities. An individual may bring a product liability claim against us alleging that one of our product candidates causes, or is claimed to have caused, an injury or is found to be unsuitable for consumer use. Any such product liability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liability, and a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. Any product liability claim brought against us, with or without merit, could result in:

Previous wording

Our business operations and current and future arrangements with investigators, healthcare professionals, consultants, third-party payors, patient organizations and customers may expose us to broadly applicable fraud and abuse and other healthcare laws and regulations. These laws may constrain the business or financial arrangements and relationships through which we conduct our operations, including how we research, market, sell and distribute our products, if approved. In the U.S., these laws include, but are not limited to the following, some of which are likely to apply only if or when we obtain marketing approval for a product candidate:

In the U.S., these laws include, but are not limited to the following, which apply with respect to the marketing approval for veligrotug and each product candidate we may develop in the future:

Previous wording

Ensuring compliance with these laws is time-consuming and costly. If and when one of our product candidates is approved, our compliance efforts will need to expand and evolve to address newly applicable laws. Given the breadth of the laws and regulations, limited guidance for certain laws and regulations and evolving government interpretations of the laws and regulations, governmental authorities may possibly conclude that our business practices are non-compliant. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or any other government regulations that apply to us, we may be subject to penalties, including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, imprisonment, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
