Lease Amendment and GeneFab Sublease Matters
Current report
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, GeneFab was in default under the GeneFab Alameda Sublease and the GeneFab HQ Sublease, and we were in default under the Alameda Lease for nonpayment of rent.
Current report
In March 2026, we entered into a series of agreements with our Alameda Landlord and GeneFab to restructure the Alameda Lease and related sublease arrangements and to cure the existing defaults.
Current report
On March 17, 2026, we entered into the Alameda Lease Amendment with the Alameda Landlord, pursuant to which we reduced the leased premises from approximately 92,000 rentable square feet to approximately 46,000 rentable square feet. The Alameda Lease Amendment also reduced our future base rent obligations for the remaining term of the lease and modifies certain cost-sharing arrangements with respect to operating expenses, taxes, and utilities. In connection with the Alameda Lease Amendment, the Alameda Landlord is entitled to draw $2.0 million under our existing letter of credit, and the required letter of credit for the remainder of the lease term was reduced to approximately $0.8 million. In May 2026, the Alameda Landlord drew the $2.0 million under the Company’s letter of credit.
Current report
In connection with the Alameda Lease Amendment, on March 17, 2026, we entered into the GeneFab Alameda Sublease Amendment with GeneFab, and pursuant to which, the subleased premises were reduced to approximately 46,000 rentable square feet. The GeneFab Alameda Sublease Amendment revised the base rent, operating expenses, taxes and utilities owed by GeneFab to equal the amounts owed by us under the Alameda Lease Amendment. GeneFab also agreed to pay a $1.0 million Reduction Fee (as defined in Note 5) to the Alameda Landlord pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Consent Amendment (as defined in Note 5).
Current report
On March 9, 2026, we entered the GeneFab HQ Sublease Amendment with GeneFab, pursuant to which we accelerated the end of the HQ Lease, effective March 31, 2026. As part of this agreement, GeneFab paid all past-due sublease rent for the GeneFab HQ Sublease and no longer subleases premises under the HQ Lease from the us as of March 31, 2026.
Current report
On March 17, 2026,we entered into the GeneFab Letter Agreement with GeneFab in connection with the lease and sublease amendments described above. The GeneFab Letter Agreement provides back rent payment of $1.4 million that may be satisfied, in whole or in part, through a cash prepayment credit to be applied toward work or services to be performed by GeneFab for us under the 2024 Amended and Restated DMSA, that we may access such prepayment credit immediately and that any unpaid portion must be paid in immediately available funds by September 1, 2026. The GeneFab Letter Agreement further provides that we may access $2.0 million as a prepayment credit to be applied toward work or services to be performed by GeneFab for us under the 2024 Amended and Restated DMSA beginning September 1, 2026. This prepayment credit represents a portion of the agreed-upon settlement of past-due sublease rent. GeneFab’s failure to perform its obligations with respect to the outstanding rent or the $2.0 million prepayment credit constitutes an immediate event of default under the GeneFab Alameda Sublease Amendment. The GeneFab Letter Agreement terminates automatically once the applicable prepayment credits have been fully applied.
Current report
As a result of these transactions, the Alameda lease default and the GeneFab sublease defaults were cured.
Current report

We concluded that substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern continues to exist and that our cash and cash equivalents of$12.2 millionas of September 30, 2025, are not sufficient for us to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Additional funds will be necessary to maintain current operations and to continue research and development activities. Our continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to raise capital, collect amounts owed to us under existing agreements and ultimately develop profitable operations. While management is devoting substantially all of its efforts to developing our business, raising capital and collecting amounts owed to us under existing agreements, there can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful. Moreover, no assurance can be given that management’s actions will result in raising additional financing or profitable operations.

We concluded that substantial doubt continued to exist and that our cash and cash equivalents of$8.9 millionas of March 31, 2026, were not sufficient for us to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Based on our current operating plan and existing unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, wehave determined that we may not be able to maintain current operations starting as early as the second quarter of 2026. As discussed in Part I, Item 1. “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) —Note 15—Subsequent Events”, we entered into a securities purchase agreement in April 2026 pursuant to which we expect to receive gross proceeds of $10.0 million in May 2026 upon the closing of the initial tranche of senior secured convertible notes, subject to the satisfaction of specified closing conditions. Assuming receipt of such funding, we currently expect to be able to maintain operations into the third quarter of 2026. Additional funds will be necessary to maintain current operations and to continue research and development activities. Our continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to raise capital, collect amounts owed to us under existing agreements and ultimately develop profitable operations.
