To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity, including pursuant to any sales under convertible debt or other securities convertible into equity, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these new securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. For instance, in December 2023, we sold an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock and 150,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to a private placement to certain investors for gross proceeds of approximately $180 million, in March 2024, we sold an aggregate of 121,625 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to a private placement to certain investors for gross proceeds of approximately $180 million, in October 2025, we sold 17,094,594 shares of our common stock in an underwritten public offering for gross proceeds of approximately $316 million and in April 2026, we sold 7,475,000 shares of our common stock in an underwritten public offering for gross proceeds of approximately $463 million. Since stockholder approval of the Series B Conversion Proposal, an aggregate of 271,625 shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been converted to 10,865,000 shares of common stock.

Previous wording

Our future success is substantially dependent on our ability to timely obtain marketing approval for, and then successfully commercialize, our SPY001, SPY002, SPY072 and SPY003 programs, alone or in combination. We are investing a majority of our efforts and financial resources into the research and development of these programs. We initiated a Phase 2 platform trial of SPY001, SPY002 and SPY003, including their pairwise combinations, for IBD in the United States and certain other countries beginning with SPY001 in May 2025. Enrollment for Part A of the Phase 2 UC platform trial is now complete. Part B, which includes combination arms, with each arm subject to regulatory feedback and approval, was opened for enrollment in March 2026. We also initiated a Phase 2 basket trial of SPY072 for RD, including RA, PsA and axSpA, in the United States and Europe in Q3 2025 through Q2 2026. Enrollment for the Phase 2 basket trial is complete. Alignment with regulatory authorities on issues that arise before clinical trials commence, during clinical trials or after our clinical trials are completed could result in additional capital expenditures or delays in development that could have a material adverse impact on our business. The success of our programs is dependent on observing longer half-lives of our product candidates and/or their combinations in humans and comparable or better safety and efficacy profiles than other mAbs currently marketed or in development. We believe longer half-lives have the potential to result in more favorable dosing schedules for our product candidates, assuming they successfully complete clinical development and obtain marketing approval. To the extent we do not observe these extended half-lives with favorable safety and efficacy profiles when we dose patients with our product candidates in our clinical trials, it would significantly and adversely affect the clinical and commercial potential of our product candidates and our business.

We may ultimately discover that our investigational products developed with half-life extension technologies do not possess certain properties required for therapeutic effectiveness and could lead to adverse effects. We currently have only reported interim Phase 2 induction topline data for SPY001 and SPY002 from our SKYLINE clinical trial, Phase 1 clinical data in healthy volunteers for SPY001, SPY002, SPY072 and SPY003, and nonclinical data for these programs. We have limited available data on the increased half-life and drug clearance properties of our programs and the anticipated half-life extension and/or drug clearance properties of each of our product candidates may not be seen in participants in our future clinical trial results. In addition, programs using half-life extension technologies may demonstrate different chemical and pharmacological properties in participants than they do in laboratory studies. This technology and any programs resulting therefrom may not demonstrate the same chemical and pharmacological properties in humans and may interact with human biological systems in unforeseen, ineffective or harmful ways.

Preclinical and clinical development involve lengthy and expensive processes that are subject to delays and may result in uncertain outcomes, and results of earlier studies and trials may not be predictive of future clinical trial results. If our preclinical studies and clinical trials are not sufficient to support regulatory approval of any of our product candidates, we may incur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of such product candidate.

Previous wording

Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical studies and then conduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Our clinical trials may not be conducted as planned or completed on schedule, if at all, and failure can occur at any time during the preclinical study or clinical trial process. For example, we depend on the availability of NHPs to conduct certain preclinical studies that we are required to complete prior to submitting an IND or foreign equivalent and initiating clinical development. There is no guarantee that we will always be able to source NHPs for our drug development activities on our preferred timelines. The cost of obtaining NHPs for our future preclinical development activities could increase significantly if short or long term shortages occur in their availability. If we are unable to source NHPs on our preferred timelines, it could result in delays to our development timelines. Similarly, we may experience difficulty in conducting our clinical trials as planned if we are unable to enroll a sufficient number of participants in any such trial as a result of variables outside of our control. See the risk factor titled “If we encounter difficulties enrolling participants in our current and future clinical trials, our clinical development activities could be delayed or otherwise adversely affected.”

Previous wording

We plan to pursue development of our investigational products in combination with one or more additional products or investigational products. The development of combination therapies may be more complex than the development of monotherapies and generally requires that sponsors demonstrate the contribution of each investigational product to the claimed effect and the safety and efficacy of the combination as a whole. Regulatory authority requirements for the development of combination therapies may make the design and conduct of clinical trials more complex and/or burdensome, requiring more clinical trial participants and additional time and cost to complete than we plan or anticipate. We also may not be able to meet the FDA’s or comparable foreign regulatory authority's current or future approval standards required for combination therapies or combination products, including if we decided to administer or package combinations as a single drug product. For example, under the “combination rule”, the FDA may not file or approve a fixed-dose combination product unless each component of a proposed drug product is shown to make a contribution to the claimed effects and the dosage of each component (amount, frequency, duration) is safe and effective for the intended population. To satisfy these requirements, the FDA typically requires a clinical factorial trial, designed to assess the effects attributable to each drug in the combination product. This is particularly true when the ingredients are directed at the same sign or symptom of the disease or condition. Aside from factorial trials, the FDA has accepted a variety of approaches to satisfy the combination rule and has made statements that it may be possible to use other types of clinical and nonclinical data and mechanistic information available to demonstrate the contributions of the individual active ingredients to the effect of the combination. In addition, combination products may require dose selection for each agent in the combination, which may require more and/or larger groups of participants than single agents. Our clinical trial and research efforts may not satisfy regulators' expectations of adequate exploration of dose ranging required for drug approval. Moreover, the applicable requirements for approval of combinations may differ from country to country.

In the event we are unable to do so or are unable to do so on commercially reasonable terms or we are unable to continue development of one or more of investigational products, our business and prospects would be materially harmed.

In reviewing preliminary or topline data, we also make assumptions, estimations, calculations and conclusions as part of our analyses that may change once a complete data set is available. As a result, the preliminary or topline results that we report may differ from future results of the same studies, or different conclusions or considerations may qualify such results, once additional data have been received and fully evaluated or subsequently made subject to audit and verification procedures. Any preliminary or topline data should be viewed with caution until the final data are available.

Our product candidates have mechanisms of action in common with other approved drugs that have been associated with certain adverse reactions and/or events in patients. For example, nasopharyngitis, headache, arthralgia, nausea, pyrexia, upper respiratory tract infection, fatigue, cough, bronchitis, influenza, back pain, rash, pruritus, sinusitis, oropharyngeal pain, and pain in extremities are the most common adverse reactions noted with ENTYVIO®, which is in the same drug class as SPY001 and is approved for the treatment of moderately to severely active UC in adults and of moderately to severely active CD in adults. In addition, mAbs targeting TL1A such as our product candidates SPY002 and SPY072 in clinical trials are associated with patient adverse events that most commonly include headache, nausea, nasopharyngitis, urinary tract infection, SARS-CoV-2 infection, fever, fatigue, arthralgia, and back pain. Finally, for SKYRIZI®, which is in the same drug class as SPY003 and is approved for the treatment of moderately to severely active UC in adults and of moderately to severely active CD in adults, the most common adverse reactions are upper respiratory infections, headache, arthralgia, injection site reactions, abdominal pain, anemia, pyrexia, back pain, arthropathy, and urinary tract infection in patients with CD and arthralgia, pyrexia, injection site reactions, and rash in patients with UC. Participants in our clinical trials for SPY001, SPY002, SPY072 and SPY003, or combinations thereof, may experience similar or additional adverse reactions and/or events such as infections (including rare infections such as tuberculosis or JC virus reactivation, which could lead to multifocal leukoencephalopathy, which is a theoretical risk for the drug class), infusion-related reactions, other hypersensitivity reactions (including injection site reactions and delayed hypersensitivity reactions), and hepatotoxicity, as has been observed with other biologics, including those with similar mechanisms of action. Although our product candidates have observed to be well tolerated to date, we have observed adverse events, including serious adverse events, in our clinical trials consistent with known safety profiles of drugs with the same mechanisms of action. It is possible we may observe additional safety events that may or may not be consistent with such third-party product safety profiles.

In addition, for patients treated with BIMZELX®, which is approved for moderate-to-severe HS in adults and is being used as a surrogate IL-17A/F in our Phase 2 trial in HS, the most common adverse reactions are upper respiratory tract infections, oral candidiasis, headache, injection site reactions, tinea infections, gastroenteritis, herpes simplex infections, acne, folliculitis, other candida infections, and fatigue. Participants in our clinical trials for SPY001, SPY002, SPY072 and SPY003 as well as our rational combination programs, may experience similar or additional adverse reactions and/or events such as infections (including rare infections such as tuberculosis or JC virus reactivation, which could lead to multifocal leukoencephalopathy, which is a theoretical risk for the drug class), infusion-related reactions, other hypersensitivity reactions (including injection site reactions and delayed hypersensitivity reactions), hepatotoxicity, increased risk of suicidal ideation and behavior, liver biochemical abnormalities, and inflammatory bowel disease, as has been observed with other biologics, including those with similar mechanisms of action.

Because we have limited financial and managerial resources, we focus our research and development efforts on certain selected programs. For example, we are initially focused on our SPY001, SPY002 and SPY003 programs, including combinations thereof, and our SPY072 program. As a result, we may forgo or delay pursuit of opportunities with other programs that later prove to have greater commercial potential. Our resource allocation decisions may cause us to fail to capitalize on viable commercial products or profitable market opportunities. Our spending on current and future research and development programs for specific indications may not yield any commercially viable product candidates. If we do not accurately evaluate the commercial potential or target market for a particular product candidate, we may relinquish valuable rights to that product candidate through collaboration, licensing or other royalty arrangements in cases in which it would have been more advantageous for us to retain sole development and commercialization rights to such product candidate.

Even if regulatory approval is obtained for a product candidate resulting from one of our current or future programs, they may not gain market acceptance among physicians, patients, healthcare payors or the medical community. We may not generate or sustain revenue from sales of the product due to factors such as whether the product can be sold at a competitive cost and whether it will otherwise be accepted in the market. There are several approved products and product candidates in later stages of development for the treatment of IBD and the treatment of RD. However, our programs incorporate advanced antibody engineering to optimize the half-life and formulation of antibodies; to date, no such antibody has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of IBD, RA, PsA or axSpA. Market participants with significant influence over acceptance of new treatments, such as clinicians and third-party payors, may not adopt a biologic that incorporates half-life extension for our targeted indications, and we may not be able to convince the medical community and third-party payors to accept and use, or to provide favorable reimbursement for, any programs developed by us or our existing or future collaborators. An extended half-life may make it more difficult for patients to change treatments and there is a perception that half-life extension could exacerbate side effects or experience waning efficacy, each of which may adversely affect our ability to gain market acceptance. Market acceptance of our product candidates will depend on many factors, including factors that are not within our control.

Previous wording

We have multiple product candidates, alone and in combination, in development for the same indication, IBD, and are developing one product candidate (SPY072) for RD. We may in the future develop our programs for other I&I indications. Each such program targets a single or multiple mechanisms of action that could provide differentiation from standard of care or each other. However, developing multiple programs for a single indication may negatively impact our business if the programs compete with each other. For example, if multiple programs are conducting clinical trials at the same time, they could compete for the enrollment of participants. In addition, if multiple product candidates are approved for the same indication, they may compete for market share, which could limit our future revenue.

Further, conducting international clinical trials presents additional risks that may delay completion of our clinical trials. These risks include the failure of enrolled participants in foreign countries to adhere to the clinical protocol as a result of differences in healthcare services or cultural customs that could restrict or limit our ability to conduct our clinical trials, the administrative burdens of conducting clinical trials under multiple sets of foreign regulations, foreign exchange fluctuations, as well as political and economic risks relevant to foreign countries. For additional disclosures regarding political and economic risks involved with international clinical trials, see the risk factor titled “Our business could be adversely affected by economic downturns, inflation, increases in interest rates, natural disasters, public health crises, political crises, U.S. elections, international or geopolitical events, such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, recent events in Venezuela, conflicts between the U.S. and other countries, including Iran, and conflicts in the Middle East, the implementation of measures that restrict international trade or other macroeconomic conditions, which could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.”

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Healthcare and Education Reconciliation Act, includes a subtitle called the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (“BPCIA”), which created an abbreviated approval pathway for biological products that are biosimilar to or interchangeable with an FDA-licensed reference biological product. Under the BPCIA, an application for a highly similar or “biosimilar” product may not be submitted to the FDA until four years following the date that the reference product was first approved by the FDA. In addition, the approval of a biosimilar product may not be made effective by the FDA until 12 years from the date on which the reference product was first approved. During this 12-year period of exclusivity, another company may still market a competing version of the reference product if the FDA approves a full BLA for the competing product containing the sponsor’s own nonclinical data and data from the sponsor's own adequate and well-controlled clinical trials to demonstrate the safety, purity and potency of their product.

Existing regulatory policies may change, and additional government regulations may be enacted that could prevent, limit or delay development of or regulatory approval of our product candidates and/or increase our manufacturing costs, including raw materials, general operating costs or other costs. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative action, either in the United States or abroad. If we fail to adequately prepare for the impacts of or are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new requirements or policies, or if we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, our product candidates may be delayed in obtaining regulatory approval or may lose any marketing approval that we may have obtained and we may not achieve or sustain profitability. In addition, the impact of legislative, executive, and administrative actions and any future healthcare measures and agency rules implemented by the current presidential administration on us and the pharmaceutical industry as a whole is unclear. These government actions could cause delays in our business plans, increase the cost of execution of our business plans or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business. For example, recent actions and statements by the U.S., including those relating to the imposition or threatened imposition of tariffs (including tariffs on patented pharmaceutical products), affecting (among others) certain products manufactured in China and other non-U.S. countries. These measures could impact the cost of manufacturing our product candidates for our ongoing and planned clinical trials and may increase other costs such as import and export costs across different jurisdictions, costs of drug product and clinical trial supplies, and other costs of running our trials and executing on our business plans, which could negatively impact our financial position. We may seek alternative or additional sources for our drug substance or drug product for our clinical trials, clinical trial sites, or service providers, which could negatively impact our expected costs, timelines and business plan. Additionally, the BIOSECURE Act enacted as part of the FY 2026 National Defense Authorization Act has the potential to severely restrict our ability to purchase services or products from, or otherwise collaborate with, certain Chinese “biotechnology companies of concern” (“BCOC”) without losing the ability to contract with, or otherwise receive funding from, the U.S. government. We currently rely on foreign CMOs, including WuXi Biologics, which is based in China. Although none of our CMOs have yet been named as a BCOC, if any of our CMOs are identified as a BCOC, we could be required to switch or move development of our product candidates from one CMO to another, and as a result we may incur additional development costs or delays in manufacturing product for clinic…

In some countries, particularly member states of the EU, the pricing of prescription drugs is subject to governmental control. In these countries, pricing negotiations with governmental authorities can take considerable time after receipt of marketing approval for a therapeutic. In addition, there can be considerable pressure by governments and other stakeholders on prices and reimbursement levels, including as part of cost containment measures. Political, economic and regulatory developments may further complicate pricing negotiations, and pricing negotiations may continue after reimbursement has been obtained. Reference pricing used by various EU member states and parallel distribution, or arbitrage between low-priced and high-priced member states, can further reduce prices. To obtain coverage and reimbursement or pricing approvals in some countries, we or current or future collaborators may be required to conduct a clinical trial or other studies that compare the cost-effectiveness of our product candidates to other available therapies in order to obtain or maintain reimbursement or pricing approval. Publication of discounts by third-party payors or authorities may lead to further pressure on the prices or reimbursement levels within the country of publication and other countries. If reimbursement of any product candidate approved for marketing is unavailable or limited in scope or amount, or if pricing is set at unsatisfactory levels, our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially and adversely affected. If the UK or certain EU member states were to significantly alter their regulations affecting the pricing of prescription pharmaceuticals, we could face significant new costs.

The ability of the FDA to review and approve regulatory submissions can be affected by a variety of factors, including a government shutdown as well as statutory, regulatory and policy changes, inadequate government budget funding levels or a reduction in the FDA’s workforce and its ability to hire and retain key personnel, disruptions caused by government shutdowns and public health crises. There have been mass layoffs of federal employees since the start of the current presidential administration in January 2025, the full impact of which is unclear at this time. Such disruptions could significantly impact the ability of the FDA or other regulatory authorities to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, the presidential administration has made and is expected to continue to make significant changes in the leadership of the FDA and other U.S. federal regulatory agencies and changes to U.S. federal government policy that have led to, in some cases, legal challenges and uncertainty around the funding, functioning and policy priorities of the U.S. federal regulatory agencies, including the FDA. In addition, certain senior employees of FDA have not maintained long tenure in their positions, marking a period of high leadership turnover.

Moreover, our CMOs may experience manufacturing difficulties due to resource constraints, supply chain issues, proposed or actual legislative changes or requirements, or as a result of labor disputes or unstable political environments, including tariffs and restrictions imposed by the United States or other foreign governments on goods required for the operation of their business. If any CMOs on which we will rely fail to manufacture quantities of our product candidates at quality levels necessary to meet regulatory requirements and at a scale sufficient to meet anticipated demand at a cost that allows us to achieve profitability, our business, financial condition and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, our CMOs and other third parties are responsible for transporting temperature-controlled materials that can be inadvertently degraded during transport due to several factors, rendering certain batches unsuitable for trial use for failure to meet, among others, our integrity and purity specifications. We and any of our CMOs may also face product seizure or detention or refusal to permit the import or export of products or increased costs as a result of tariffs on imports imposed by the United States or other foreign governments. Our business could be materially adversely affected by business disruptions to our third-party providers that could materially adversely affect our anticipated timelines, potential future revenue and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses. Each of these risks could delay or prevent the completion of our nonclinical studies and clinical trials or the approval of any of our product candidates by the FDA, resulting in higher costs or adversely impact commercialization of our product candidates. See the section titled “Business – Manufacturing and Supply” in our most recent Annual Report for a more detailed description of our manufacturing plans and assumptions and the factors that may affect the success of our programs.

The global economy, including credit and financial markets, has experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including, among other things, diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, supply chain shortages, increases in inflation rates, higher interest rates, and uncertainty about economic stability. Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, slower growth or recession, new or increased tariffs and other barriers to trade, especially in light of recent comments and executive orders made by the Trump administration, changes to fiscal and monetary policy or government budget dynamics (particularly in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology areas), tighter credit, higher interest rates, volatility in financial markets, high unemployment, labor availability constraints, currency fluctuations and other challenges in the global economy have in the past adversely affected, and may in the future adversely affect, us and our business partners and suppliers. The United States has previously announced tariffs on imports from most countries, including significant tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions. In response to tariffs, other countries have implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. In April 2026, the U.S. announced the imposition of tariffs on patented pharmaceutical products, and there can be no guarantee that further retaliatory tariffs will not be forthcoming. Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, investment, technological exchange and other economic activities between major international economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. There is substantial uncertainty about the duration of existing tariffs and whether additional tariffs may be imposed, modified or suspended. The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates multiple times in response to concerns about inflation and it may raise them again. Higher interest rates, coupled with reduced government spending and volatility in financial markets, may increase economic uncertainty and affect consumer spending. Similarly, geopolitical uncertainties, international conflicts and government actions, including the ongoing military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, recent events in Venezuela, conflicts between U.S. and other countries, including Iran, and conflicts in the Middle East involving Israel and various other parties, including Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah, as well as other conflicts in the region, rising tensions with China and the implementation of tariffs, sanctions, export or import controls, and other measures that restrict international trade by the United States, China or other governments, have created extreme volatility in the global capital markets and may have further global economic consequences, inclu…

We may in the future experience disruptions as a result of such macroeconomic conditions, including delays or difficulties in initiating or expanding clinical trials and manufacturing or shipping sufficient quantities of materials. Any one or a combination of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. For example, our business may be generally exposed to the impact of political or civil unrest or military action. While we do not have any employees or offices in Ukraine, Venezuela, Russia or countries in the Middle East, including Israel and Jordan, we do have third-party partners and clinical trial sites with locations in Europe, South America and the Middle East, which may be affected by the ongoing conflicts affecting such countries. These third parties or clinical trial sites may be materially impacted by the increasing military conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, could result in difficulties enrolling and retaining participants and/or delivering drug samples in such areas on schedule and cause delay in our clinical trials and/or increase trial costs. Any of the foregoing could harm our business and we cannot anticipate all of the ways in which the current economic or political climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.
