Celularity Inc

**1. Nature of Business **

Celularity Inc., (“Celularity” or the “Company”), formerly known as GX Acquisition Corp. (“GX”), was a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on August 24, 2018. The Company was formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On July 16, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated January 8, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among GX, Alpha First Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of GX (“First Merger Sub”), Celularity LLC (f/k/a Alpha Second Merger Sub LLC), a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of GX (“Second Merger Sub”), and the entity formerly known as Celularity Inc., incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on August 29, 2016 (“Legacy Celularity”). Upon completion of the merger transaction, GX changed its name to Celularity Inc.

At the special meeting held on February 22, 2024, the stockholders of Celularity approved an amendment to Celularity’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of Celularity’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio of 1-for-10. Following the reverse stock split, each 10 shares of Celularity’s Class A common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto were combined into one new share of Class A common stock. Unless specifically provided otherwise herein, all share and per share information has been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Description of Business

Celularity is a cell therapy and regenerative medicine company focused on addressing aging related diseases including cancer and degenerative diseases. Celularity is headquartered in Florham Park, NJ. Legacy Celularity acquired Anthrogenesis Corporation (“Anthrogenesis”) in August 2017 from Celgene Corporation (“Celgene”), a global biotechnology company that merged with Bristol Myers Squibb Company. Previously, Anthrogenesis operated as Celgene Cellular Therapeutics, Celgene’s cell therapy division.

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with governmental regulations and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. Drug candidates currently under development will require significant additional approval prior to commercialization, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel, and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if the Company’s drug development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from cellular therapy product sales.

Going Concern

The Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

As an emerging clinical-stage biotechnology company, Celularity is subject to certain inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the development of an enterprise. In this regard, since the Company’s inception, substantially all of management’s efforts have been devoted to making investments in research and development including basic scientific research into placentally-derived allogeneic cells, pre-clinical studies to support its current and future clinical programs in cellular therapeutics, and clinical development of its cell programs as well as facilities and selling, general and administrative expenses that support its core business operations (collectively, the “investments”), all at the expense of the Company’s short-term profitability. The Company has historically funded these investments through limited revenues generated from its biobanking and degenerative disease businesses and issuances of equity and debt securities to public and private investors (these issuances are collectively referred to as “outside capital”). Notwithstanding these efforts, management can provide no assurance that the Company’s research and development and commercialization efforts will be successfully completed, or that adequate protection of the Company’s intellectual property will be adequately maintained. Even if these efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate significant sales or operate in a profitable manner to sustain the Company’s operations without needing to continue to rely on outside capital.

As of the date the accompanying consolidated financial statements were issued, or the issuance date, management evaluated the significance of the following adverse conditions and events in considering its ability to continue as a going concern:

These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The consolidated financial information presented herein reflects all financial information that, in the opinion of management, is necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, assumptions related to the Company’s goodwill and intangible asset impairment assessments, determination of incremental borrowing rates, and the valuations of inventory, gross-to-net sales adjustments, contingent consideration, short-term debt, stock options and stock warrants. The Company based its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist principally of cash held in commercial bank accounts, money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity when acquired of less than three months. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, substantially all cash and cash equivalents were held in either commercial bank accounts or money market funds.

Restricted Cash

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company maintained a letter of credit of $10,239 and $9,936, respectively, for the benefit of the landlord of a leased property, which the Company classified as restricted cash (non-current) on its consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers, typically within 30 to 90 days from invoice date, arising from the Company’s revenue-generating activities. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is determined based on a combination of the aging of receivables, and customer-specific information, including historical loss experience, current economic conditions, forecasts of future economic conditions and other relevant risk factors. The Company applies judgment in evaluating the collectability of accounts. Receivables are written off when all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and the amounts are deemed uncollectible. Actual credit losses may differ from management’s estimates, and such differences are recognized in the period in which they become known. The Company’s accounts receivable balance, net of allowance for credit losses, was $13,357, $10,046 and $4,452 as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Prior to initial approval from the FDA or other regulatory agencies, the Company expenses costs relating to the production of inventory in the period incurred. After such time as the product receives initial regulatory approval, the Company capitalizes the inventory costs related to the product. The Company continues to expense costs associated with clinical trial supply costs as research and development expense.

The Company periodically analyzes the inventory levels to determine whether there is any obsolete, expired, or excess inventory. If any inventory is (i) expected to expire prior to being sold, (ii) has a cost basis in excess of its net realizable value, (iii) is in excess of expected sales requirements as determined by internal sales forecasts, or (iv) fails to meet commercial sale specifications, the inventory is written-down through a charge to cost of revenues. The determination of whether inventory costs will be realizable requires estimates by management of future expected inventory requirements, based on sales forecasts. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Inventory, net of current portion on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets includes inventory expected to remain on hand beyond one year.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each asset, as follows:

Estimated useful lives are periodically assessed to determine if changes are appropriate. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of these assets and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are eliminated from the consolidated balance sheets and any resulting gains or losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period of disposal. Costs for capital assets not yet placed into service are capitalized as construction-in-progress and depreciated once placed into service.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment, operating right-of-use assets, and finite-lived intangible assets. Long-lived assets to be held and used are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset group for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset group to its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized in loss from operations when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset group are less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset group over its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flows. Due to the goodwill impairment recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023 as discussed below and in Note 8, the Company performed a recoverability test on long-lived assets and concluded no additional impairment to be recognized as result of this test. The Company did not record any impairment losses on long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Asset Acquisitions

The Company measures and recognizes asset acquisitions that are not deemed to be business combinations based on the cost to acquire the assets, which includes transaction costs. In an asset acquisition, the cost allocated to acquire IPR&D with no alternative future use is charged to research and development expense at the acquisition date.

In-Process Research and Development

The fair value of IPR&D acquired through a business combination is capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until the completion or abandonment of the related research and development activities. When the related research and development is completed, the asset is reclassified to a finite-lived asset and amortized over its estimated useful life.

The fair value of an IPR&D intangible asset is typically determined using an income approach whereby management forecasts the net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its estimated useful life. The net cash flows reflect the asset’s stage of completion, the probability of technical success, the projected costs to complete, expected market competition, and an assessment of the asset’s life-cycle. The net cash flows are then adjusted to present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams.

Indefinite-lived IPR&D is not subject to amortization but is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment. The Company tests its indefinite-lived IPR&D annually for impairment during the fourth quarter. In testing indefinite-lived IPR&D for impairment, the Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount, or the Company can perform a quantitative impairment analysis to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived IPR&D without performing a qualitative assessment. Qualitative factors that the Company considers include significant negative industry or economic trends and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If the Company chooses to first assess qualitative factors and the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived IPR&D is less than its carrying amount, the Company would then determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived IPR&D. Under either approach, if the fair value of the indefinite-lived IPR&D is less than its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company didnot recognize an impairment charge related to its indefinite-lived IPR&D. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized an impairment charge related to its indefinite-lived IPR&D of $107,800.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment. The Company typically tests its goodwill annually for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year.

The Company manages its operations through an evaluation ofthree different operating segments: Cell Therapy, Degenerative Disease and BioBanking (see Note 19). The Company determined that the operating segments represented the reporting units.

In testing goodwill for impairment, the Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, or the Company can perform a quantitative impairment analysis without performing the qualitative assessment. Examples of such events or circumstances considered in the Company’s qualitative assessment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal or business climate, an adverse regulatory action or unanticipated competition. If the Company chooses to first assess qualitative factors and the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company would then perform the quantitative impairment test. The quantitative test starts with comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount, no impairment loss is recognized. However, if the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company didnot recognize any goodwill impairment. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized goodwill impairment of $112,347 relating to the Cell Therapy reporting unit (see Note 8) in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for the public warrants, private placement warrants, registered direct warrants, May 2022 PIPE warrants, and November 2024 Purchaser Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants (collectively, “Liability Warrants”) in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40,Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, under which the Liability Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Liability Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts to fair value at each reporting period. These liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised or expired, and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Liability Warrants, excluding the public warrants, were initially and subsequently valued using either a Black-Scholes or a Monte Carlo option pricing model, which are considered to be Level 3 fair value measurements. The public warrants are valued based on the quoted market price as of each relevant reporting date, which is considered to be a Level 1 fair value measurement.

Leases

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02 or ASC 842), the Company classifies leases at the lease commencement date. At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the circumstances present. Leases with a term greater than one year will be recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, lease liabilities, and if applicable, long-term lease liabilities. The Company includes renewal options to extend the lease in the lease term where it is reasonably certain that it will exercise these options. Lease liabilities and the corresponding ROU assets are recorded based on the present values of lease payments over the terms. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes the appropriate incremental borrowing rates, which are the rates that would be incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis, over similar terms, amounts equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Variable payments that do not depend on a rate or index are not included in the lease liabilities and are recognized as incurred. Lease contracts do not include residual value guarantees nor do they include restrictions or other covenants. Certain adjustments to ROU assets may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid, incentives received, or lease prepayments. If significant events, changes in circumstances, or other events indicate that the lease term or other inputs have changed, the Company would reassess lease classification, remeasure the lease liabilities using revised inputs as of the reassessment date, and adjust the ROU assets.

The Company has elected the “package of 3” practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company also adopted an accounting policy which provides that leases with an initial term of 12 months or less and no purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain of exercising will not be included within the ROU assets and lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets.

Refer to Note 11 for further information.

Short-Term Debt - Yorkville and Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes

The Company elected the fair value option to account for its pre-paid advance agreement with YA II PN, Ltd (“Yorkville”) (see Note 10). As of December 31, 2023, due to the short-term nature of the debt, the fair value approximated the settlement amount which was fully paid on January 17, 2024. The Company also elected the fair value option to account for the Yorkville convertible promissory note signed on March 13, 2024 (see Note 10) and the unsecured senior convertible notes issued pursuant to the securities purchase agreement signed on November 25, 2024 (see Note 10). As of December 31, 2024, the estimate of the fair value of the Yorkville convertible promissory note and the unsecured senior convertible notes was determined using a binomial lattice model and a credit default model. The fair value measurement of the debt is determined using Level 3 inputs and assumptions unobservable in the market. Changes in the fair value of debt that is accounted for at fair value, inclusive of related accrued interest expense, are presented as gains or losses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss under change in fair value of debt. The portion of total changes in fair value of debt attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk are determined through specific measurement of periodic changes in the discount rate assumption exclusive of base market changes and are presented as a component of comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The actual settlement of the short-term debt could differ from current estimates based on the timing of when and if the investors elect to convert amounts into common shares, potential cash repayment by the Company prior to maturity, and movements in the Company’s common share price.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from its degenerative disease commercial operations (i.e., the sale of Biovance®, Biovance 3L®, CentaFlex®, Interfyl® and Rebound TM), biobanking services (i.e., the collection, processing and storage of umbilical cord and placental blood and tissue after full-term pregnancies), and license, royalty and other revenues.

Product sales

Biovance, Biovance 3L, CentaFlex and Rebound are decellularized, dehydrated human amniotic membrane products intended for use as a biological membrane covering that provides the extracellular matrix while supporting the repair of damaged tissue. Interfyl is an allogeneic decellularized particulate human placental connective tissue matrix consisting of natural human structural and biochemical extracellular matrix components and is intended for use in both surgical requirements and wound care as the replacement or supplementation of damaged or inadequate integumental tissue. Rebound™ is a full thickness extracellular matrix that contains amnion and chorion.

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the products and services is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive from its customers in exchange for those products and services. This process involves identifying the contract with a customer, determining the performance obligations in the contract, determining the contract price, allocating the contract price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract, and recognizing revenue when, or as, the performance obligations have been satisfied. Sales and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue.

A performance obligation is considered distinct from other obligations in a contract when it provides a benefit to the customer either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and is separately identified in the contract. The Company considers a performance obligation satisfied once it has transferred control of a good or service to the customer, meaning the customer has the ability to use and obtain the benefit of the good or service. Transaction prices of products or services are typically based on contracted rates with customers and to the extent that the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the expected value method or the most likely amount, depending on the circumstances, to which the Company expects to be entitled.

The Company offers volume-based discounts, rebates and prompt pay discounts and other various incentives which are accounted for under the variable consideration model. If sales incentives may be earned by a customer for purchasing a specified amount of product, the Company estimates whether such incentives will be achieved and recognizes these incentives as a reduction in revenue in the same period the underlying revenue transaction is recognized. The Company primarily uses the expected value method to estimate incentives. Under the expected value method, the Company considers the historical experience of similar programs as well as reviews sales trends on a customer-by-customer basis to estimate what levels of incentives will be earned.

The Company provides for rights of return to customers on its degenerative disease products. To date, the Company has had minimal product returns and therefore does not record a provision for returns.

Services

The Company separately recognizes revenues for services to expectant parents who contract with the Company to collect, process and store umbilical cord blood and placenta derived cells and tissue for private use. The Company recognizes revenue from collection and processing fees at the point in time of the successful completion of processing and recognizes storage fees over time, which is ratably over the contractual storage period. Contracted storage periods are generally 18 years and 25 years. Deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets includes the portion of the 18- and the 25-year storage fees that are being recognized over the contractual storage period. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current if the Company expects to recognize the related revenue over the next 12 months from the balance sheet date.

When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. For all plans (annual, lifetime,18 years and 25 years), the storage fee is paid at the beginning of the storage period (prepaid plans). Alternatively, the Company offers payment plans for customers to pay over time for a period of one to 24 months (over time plans). The Company concluded that a significant financing component is not present within either the prepaid or overtime payment plans. The Company has determined that the prepaid plans do not include a significant financing component as the payment terms were structured primarily for reasons other than the provision of financing and to maximize profitability.

When considered over a 24-month period for over time plans, the difference between the cash selling price and the consideration paid is nominal. As such, the Company believes that its payment plans do not include significant financing components as they are not significant in the aggregate when considered in the context of all contracts entered into nor are they significant at the individual contract level.

The Company offers promotional discounts and other various incentives which are accounted for under the variable consideration model. The Company estimates whether such incentives will be achieved and recognizes these incentives as a reduction in revenue in the same period the underlying revenue transaction is recognized. The Company primarily uses the expected value method to estimate incentives. Under the expected value method, the Company considers the historical experience of similar programs as well as reviews sales trends on a customer-by-customer basis to estimate what levels of incentives will be earned.

As the Company’s processing and storage agreements contain multiple performance obligations, ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, requires an allocation of the transaction price based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised services underlying each performance obligation. The Company has selected an adjusted market assessment approach to estimate the standalone selling prices of the processing services and storage services and concluded that the published list price is the price that a customer in that market would be willing to pay for those goods or services. The Company also considered the fact that all customers are charged the list prices current at the time of their enrollment where the Company has separately stated list prices for processing and storage.

License, royalty and other

Under license agreements, the Company assesses whether the related performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over time.

At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments based on certain events, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company or the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. The Company evaluates factors such as the scientific, clinical, regulatory, commercial, and other risks that must be overcome to achieve the particular milestone in making this assessment. There is considerable judgment involved in determining whether it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company reevaluates the probability of achievement of all milestones subject to constraint and, if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect revenues and earnings in the period of adjustment. If a milestone or other variable consideration relates specifically to the Company’s efforts to satisfy a single performance obligation or to a specific outcome from satisfying the performance obligation, the Company generally allocates the milestone amount entirely to that performance obligation once it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur. See Note 16 for further discussion of the Company’s license agreements.

While the Company’s direct sales of degenerative disease products are included in product sales, sales through the Company’s network of distribution partners are included in license, royalty and other revenues. For certain distribution agreements as described in Note 16, the Company will utilize the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-83, whereby an entity may recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice so long as the consideration from a customer corresponds directly with the value received. Thus, the Company will recognize revenue upon invoicing for these agreements (subsequent to receipt of the related purchase order).

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists of labor, material and overhead costs associated with the Company’s two existing commercial business segments, biobanking and degenerative disease. Biobanking costs, which include the cost of storage and transportation kits for newly banked materials as well as tank and facility overhead costs for cord blood and other units in storage, are included in services in cost of revenues. Degenerative disease costs, which include costs associated with procuring placentas, qualifying the placental material and processing the placental tissue into a marketable product, are included in product sales or license, royalty and other in cost of revenues depending on the class of customer. Costs in the degenerative disease segment include labor and overhead costs associated with the production of the Biovance, Biovance 3L, Interfyl and Rebound product lines.

Research and Development Costs

The Company has entered into various research and development and other agreements with commercial firms, researchers, universities and others for provisions of goods and services. These agreements are generally cancellable, and the related costs are recorded as research and development expense as incurred. Research and development expenses include costs for salaries, employee benefits, subcontractors, facility-related expenses, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, third-party license fees, laboratory supplies, and external costs of outside vendors engaged to conduct discovery, preclinical and clinical development activities and clinical trials as well as to manufacture clinical trial materials, and other costs. The Company records accruals for estimated ongoing research and development costs. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services to be received in the future for use in research and development activities are recorded as prepaid expenses. Such prepaid expenses are recognized as an expense when the goods have been delivered or the related services have been performed, or when it is no longer expected that the goods will be delivered, or the services rendered.

Upfront payments, milestone payments and annual maintenance fees under license agreements are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Advertising and Marketing Costs

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and were $23 and $44 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Government Grants

From time to time, the Company may be awarded a government research grant. Under these arrangements, the Company recognizes awarded grants as a reduction to research and development expense at the point in time where achievement of related milestones is confirmed by the governmental agency. The Company didnot receive grant monies during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Patent Costs

All patent-related costs incurred in connection with filing and prosecuting patent applications are expensed as incurred due to the uncertainty about the recovery of the expenditure. Amounts incurred are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures all stock-based awards granted to employees and directors based on the fair value on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation expense for those awards, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. The Company typically issues stock-based awards with only service-based vesting conditions and records the expense for these awards using a straight-line method.

The Company’s board of directors may also approve and award performance-based stock options. The performance-based stock options are earned based on the attainment of specified goals achieved over the performance period. The Company recognizes expense for performance-based awards over the related vesting period once it deems the achievement of the performance condition is probable. The Company reassesses the probability of vesting at each reporting period for performance-based awards and adjusts expense accordingly on a cumulative basis.

The fair value of each service-performance- and market-based stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using an appropriate option pricing model using inputs available as of the grant date. For awards with service-based vesting conditions only, the Company determines the fair value of the award as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Prior to the merger, Legacy Celularity was a private company and lacked company-specific historical and implied volatility information for its stock. Therefore, the Company estimates its expected stock price volatility using its volatility since the merger and the historical volatility of publicly traded peer companies. The expected term of the Company’s stock options granted to employees is determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla” options. The expected term of stock options granted to non-employee consultants is equal to the contractual term of the option award or the Company’s estimated term based on the underlying agreement. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. The expected dividend yield is zero based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends on common stock and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The Company classifies stock-based compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified. The Company elects to account for forfeitures as they occur and compensation cost previously recognized for an award that is forfeited because of a failure to satisfy a service or performance condition is generally reversed in the period of the forfeiture.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under GAAP are included in comprehensive income (loss) but are excluded from net income (loss) as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company’s only component of other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of the portion of the total change in fair value of debt accounted for under the fair value option that is attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded instrument-specific credit risk loss of $5. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded instrument-specific credit risk income of $146 and reclassified $155 from accumulated other comprehensive loss to other expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss upon short-term debt conversion. These amounts have been recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements or in the Company’s tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent it believes, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established through a charge to income tax expense. Potential for recovery of deferred tax assets is evaluated by estimating the future taxable profits expected and considering prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the consolidated financial statements by applying a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized. First, the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position. If the tax position is deemed more-likely-than-not to be sustained, the tax position is then assessed to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the consolidated financial statements. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority. The provision for income taxes includes the effects of unrecognized tax benefits, as well as the related interest and penalties (see Note 18).

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss per share of common stock includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as redeemable convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, stock options, restricted stock units and warrants, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. However, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. For diluted net loss per share when the Company has a net loss, the weighted-average number of shares of common stock is the same as for basic net loss per share due to the fact that when a net loss exists, dilutive securities are not included in the calculation as the impact is anti-dilutive. All warrants are participating securities, as they participate on a one-for-one basis with Class A common stock in the distribution of dividends, if and when declared by the Board of Directors. For the purposes of computing earnings per share, the warrants are considered to participate with Class A common stock in earnings of the Company. Therefore, the Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, an earnings allocation method that determines net income (loss) per share (when there are earnings) for common stock and participating securities. No income was allocated to the warrants for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, as results of operations were a loss for both periods.

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, prior to the use of the two-class method, as they would be anti-dilutive:

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial 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 manages its operations through an evaluation ofthree distinct businesses segments: Cell Therapy, Degenerative Disease and BioBanking. These segments are presented for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 in Note 19.

Allowance for Credit Losses

With the adoption of ASU 2016-13*Financial Instruments — Credit Losses,*as noted below, the Company recognizes credit losses based on forward-looking current expected credit losses. The Company makes estimates of expected credit losses based upon its assessment of various factors, including historical collection experience, the age of accounts receivable balances, credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from customers.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts receivable. The Company generally maintains cash balances in various operating accounts at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality, in amounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to its cash and cash equivalents or restricted cash and does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

The Company is subject to credit risk from trade accounts receivable related to both degenerative disease product sales and biobanking services. All trade accounts receivables are a result from product sales and services performed in the United States. As of December 31, 2024, three of the Company’s customers, each of which individually comprised at least 10%, represented an aggregate 46% of the Company’s outstanding gross accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023, two of the Company’s customers, each of which individually comprised at least 10%, represented an aggregate 41% of the Company’s outstanding gross accounts receivable. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had one customer provide for 17% of revenue and another customer provided for 16% of revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had one customer provide for 14% of revenue and another customer provided for 13% of revenue.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. On the consolidated balance sheets, short-term debt - Yorkville and other short-term debt were reclassified to short-term debt - unaffiliated, and short-term debt - related party and short-term debt - related parties - C.V. Starr and RWI were reclassified to short-term debt - related parties. See Note 10 for further information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13,Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the accounting for recognizing impairments of financial assets. Under the new guidance, credit losses for certain types of financial instruments will be estimated based on expected losses. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment models for available-for-sale debt securities and for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022 (fiscal year 2023 for the Company), and interim periods within those periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023. The standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07,Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. This ASU was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the guidance in ASU 2023-07 for the year ended December 31, 2024, and it is being applied retrospectively to its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands the disclosures required for income taxes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its financial statement disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, as subsequently amended by ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date, which is intended to provide more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization) included in certain expense captions presented on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

3. Asset Acquisition

On October 9, 2024, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Sequence LifeScience, Inc. (“Sequence”) to acquire Sequence’s Rebound™ full thickness placental-derived allograft matrix product and certain related intangible assets. Rebound adds to the Company’s portfolio of placental-derived advanced biomaterial products. The Company will pay aggregate consideration for the assets of up to $5,500, which consists of (i) an upfront cash payment of $1,000 (ii) an aggregate of up to $4,000 in monthly milestone payments, and (iii) a credit of $500 for the previous payment made by the Company to Sequence pursuant to a letter of intent between the Company and Sequence dated August 16, 2024. Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement, the milestones are calculated based on 20% of net sales collected by the Company from its customers during the preceding calendar month, commencing the first full month after the closing of the transaction. Transaction costs incurred with in connection with the Rebound asset acquisition were de minimis.

Concurrently with the execution of the asset purchase agreement, the Company entered into an exclusive supply agreement with Sequence for the manufacture and supply of Rebound for a minimum period of six months. The Company retains the right to manufacture Rebound internally and intends to commence a technology transfer as soon as practicable.

The Company determined that this transaction represented an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805,Business Combinations, because the acquired assets did not meet the definition of a business. As noted above, the purchase price consists of $4,000 of contingent consideration that is based on future collections of net sales of Rebound. The Company’s policy is to record contingent consideration when the contingency is resolved and, therefore, it is generally excluded from the cost of the acquisition. Further, the contingent consideration comprising monthly milestone payments does not meet the definition of a derivative and, therefore, is not required to be recorded at fair value. The fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the initial cash payments for the purchase, resulting in the write-down of the intangible assets acquired and the recognition of a contingent consideration liability for the excess of the fair value of the inventory acquired over the initial cash consideration. Future monthly milestone payments will reduce the contingent consideration liability until it has been satisfied in full, and then will be recognized as a period cost when incurred. The Company incurred $135 of milestone payments based on collections of net sales of Rebound for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets as follows:

**4. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities **

The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level of the fair value hierarchy used to determine such fair values:

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.

The carrying values of other current liabilities approximate fair value in the accompanying consolidated financial statements due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

Valuation of Convertible Note Receivable

The convertible note receivable was received in connection with the disposition of the UltraMIST/MIST business in 2020. At any time on or after January 1, 2021, at the sole discretion of the Company, amounts outstanding under the convertible note receivable (including accrued interest) may be converted into Sanuwave common stock at a defined rate. The convertible note receivable was to be paid on or before August 6, 2021.

On December 18, 2023, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with Sanuwave (“Sanuwave Forbearance Agreement”). Per the Sanuwave Forbearance Agreement, from the period from December 18, 2023 to the earliest of (i) February 28, 2024, (ii) the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings for Sanuwave pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (iii) the occurrence of an event of default other than payment default, or (iv) the failure of Sanuwave to comply with any term, condition or covenant set forth in the forbearance agreement, the Company agrees that it will not exercise any remedy available to it under the convertible note receivable, excluding the right to increase the interest rate. As collateral for payments owed to Palantir Technologies, Inc. (“Palantir”), the Company assigned to Palantir the Sanuwave convertible note receivable in the event of default (see Note 12). On May 10, 2024, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Sanuwave to extend the forbearance period from February 28, 2024 to June 3, 2024. The letter agreement increased the total note payments to $2,175. Upon executing the letter agreement, Sanuwave made an initial note payment of $100 and on June 3, 2024, made a second note payment of $2,075, fully discharging all outstanding indebtedness under the note.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the convertible note receivable measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for the year ended December 31, 2024:

At December 31, 2023, the fair value of this note was based on a bond valuation which employs a credit default model. The Company utilized Level 3 inputs on a probability weighted model based on outcomes of a default, repayment and conversion of the note. The measurement was based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions.

Significant inputs for the convertible note valuation model were as follows:

Valuation of Contingent Consideration

The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligations is determined using Level 3 inputs and is based on a probability-weighted income approach. The measurement is based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions.

The following table presents a reconciliation of contingent consideration obligations measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

The fair value of the liability to make potential future milestone and earn-out payments was estimated by the Company at each reporting date based, in part, on the results of a third-party valuation using a discounted cash flow analysis based on various assumptions, including the probability of achieving specified events, discount rates, and the period of time until earn-out payments are payable and the conditions triggering the milestone payments are met. The actual settlement of contingent consideration could differ from current estimates based on the actual occurrence of these specified events.

At each reporting date, the Company revalues the contingent consideration obligation to estimated fair value and records changes in fair value as income or expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various contingent consideration obligations. The Company has classified the contingent consideration as a long-term liability in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. See Note 12 for more information on contingent consideration.

Valuation of Contingent Stock Consideration

The contingent stock consideration liability at December 31, 2024 and 2023 is comprised of the fair value of potential future issuance of Class A common stock to CariCord participating shareholders pursuant to a settlement agreement signed during the year ended December 31, 2021. The fair value measurement of the contingent stock consideration obligation is determined using Level 3 inputs and is based on a probability-weighted expected return methodology (“PWERM”). The measurement is largely based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the contingent stock consideration obligation measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

The fair value of the liability to issue future shares of Class A common stock was estimated by the Company at each reporting date using a PWERM based on various inputs and assumptions, including the Company’s common share price, discount rates, and the probability of achieving specified future operational targets. The actual settlement of contingent stock consideration could differ from current estimates based on the actual achievement of these specified targets and movements in the Company’s common share price.

At each reporting date, the Company revalues the contingent stock consideration obligation to estimated fair value and records changes in fair value as income or expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of the contingent stock consideration obligation may result from changes in discount rates, changes in the Company’s common share price, and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving specified operational targets. The change in the fair value of the contingent stock consideration obligation during the year ended December 31, 2024 was de minimis. The Company has classified the contingent stock consideration as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Valuation of Short-Term Debt - Yorkville and Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes

The Company elected the fair value option to account for the Yorkville PPA signed on September 15, 2022 (see Note 10). As of December 31, 2023, due to the short-term nature of the debt, the fair value of the Yorkville PPA approximated the settlement amount, which was fully paid on January 17, 2024. The Company also elected the fair value option to account for the Yorkville convertible promissory note signed on March 13, 2024 (see Note 10) and the unsecured senior convertible notes issued pursuant to the securities purchase agreement signed on November 25, 2024 (see Note 10). The fair value measurement of the debt is determined using Level 3 inputs and assumptions unobservable in the market. Changes in the fair value of debt that is accounted for at fair value, inclusive of related accrued interest expense, are presented as gains or losses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss under change in fair value of debt. The portion of total changes in fair value of debt attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk are determined through specific measurement of periodic changes in the discount rate assumption exclusive of base market changes and are presented as a component of comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The actual settlement of the short-term debt could differ from current estimates based on the timing of when and if the investors elect to convert amounts into common shares, potential cash repayment by the Company prior to maturity, and movements in the Company’s common share price.

The following table presents a reconciliation of short-term debt obligations measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024:

The fair values of the Yorkville convertible promissory note and the unsecured senior convertible notes are based on valuations which employ a Monte Carlo model and a credit default model. The Company utilized Level 3 inputs in a probability weighted model based on outcomes of a default, repayment and conversion of the notes. The measurements are based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions. The fair value of the Yorkville convertible promissory note on March 13, 2024, the date of issuance, was $2,993 and the aggregate fair value of the unsecured senior convertible notes at the dates of issuance was $689.

Significant inputs for the Yorkville convertible promissory note valuation model were as follows:

Significant inputs for the unsecured senior convertible notes valuation model were as follows:

Valuation of Warrant Liability

The warrant liability at December 31, 2024 is comprised of the fair value of warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock. The Public Warrants are recorded at fair value based on the period-end publicly stated close price, which is a Level 1 input. The January 2024 Bridge Loan - Tranche #2 Warrants (prior to reclassification to equity classified) and November 2024 Purchaser Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants were recorded at fair value based on a Monte Carlo simulation model and the Registered Direct, PIPE and Sponsor Warrants are recorded at their respective closing date fair values based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model that utilizes inputs for: (i) the value of the underlying asset, (ii) the exercise price, (iii) the risk-free rate, (iv) the volatility of the underlying asset, (v) the dividend yield of the underlying asset and (vi) maturity, which are Level 3 inputs. The Black-Scholes option pricing model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair values of the warrant liabilities is the expected volatility of the Class A common stock. Prior to the merger, Legacy Celularity was a private company and lacked company-specific historical and implied volatility information for its stock. Therefore, the Company estimates its expected stock price volatility using its volatility since the merger and the historical volatility of publicly traded peer companies. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve for time periods approximately equal to the estimated remaining term of the warrants. Inputs to the Monte Carlo and Black-Scholes option pricing models for the warrants are updated each reporting period to reflect fair value.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the warrant liabilities measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Significant inputs for the May 2022 PIPE Warrants and the 2023 Registered Direct Warrants were as follows:

Significant inputs for the January 2024 Bridge Loan - Tranche #2 Warrants were as follows:

Significant inputs for the November 2024 Purchaser and Placement Agent Warrants were as follows:

Significant inputs for the Sponsor Warrants are as follows:

5. Inventory

The Company’s major classes of inventories were as follows:

Inventory, net of current portion includes inventory expected to remain on-hand beyond one year from each balance sheet date presented.

The Company recognized a $466 inventory impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2024 in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss due to lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments for finished goods. The Company recognized a $5,384 inventory impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2023 in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss due to lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments of $2,129 for finished goods and $3,255 for work in progress.

A schedule of the activity in the inventory reserves is as follows:

6. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of the following:

7. Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment, net consisted of the following:

Depreciation expense was $6,169 and $7,131 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively.

8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net

Goodwill

The Company tests its goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter of each year for all of its reporting units, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company manages its operations through an evaluation ofthree different operating segments: Cell Therapy, Degenerative Disease and BioBanking (see Note 19). The Company determined that the operating segments represented the reporting units.

During annual impairment tests and for any period in which the Company identifies an impairment trigger, the Company’s methodology includes internally generated separate cash flow projections for each reporting unit based on the different drivers that affect each reporting unit. The Company compares the fair values of each of its reporting units to their respective carrying amounts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a goodwill impairment charge is recorded for the difference, with the impairment loss limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The fair values of each of the Company’s reporting units were derived using the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method. The use of a discounted cash flow analysis requires significant judgment to estimate the future cash flows and the period of time over which those cash flows will be realized, as well as to determine the appropriate discount rate. The discounted cash flow model reflects management’s assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, risk-adjusted discount rates, terminal period growth rates, economic and market trends, and other expectations about the anticipated operating results of the Company’s reporting units. As part of the goodwill impairment test, the Company also considers its market capitalization in assessing the reasonableness of the combined fair values estimated for its reporting units. Substantial changes in the cash flows assumptions of the different reporting units may lead to a future impairment or may alter the implied distribution of value between the different reporting units. A material decline in the Company’s stock price may affect the imputed discount rate and the distribution of value between the reporting units, which may also lead to a future impairment.

The carrying value of goodwill, all of which was assigned to the Company’s BioBanking reporting unit, was $7,347 at both December 31, 2024 and 2023. At December 31, 2024, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it was more likely than not that the that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on the assessment, there wasno goodwill impairment recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the BioBanking reporting unit was substantially in excess of its book value. The relative stability of the expected cash flows of the BioBanking reporting unit makes an impairment of goodwill in the future less likely.

The Degenerative Disease reporting unit goodwill was fully impaired as of December 31, 2022.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized $112,347 of goodwill impairment charges related to its Cell Therapy reporting unit, which resulted in full impairment of the reporting unit.

During the first quarter 2023, as a result of a sustained decrease in its stock price and market capitalization, and its decision to cease recruitment in its GBM and HER2+ gastric trials, the Company tested for impairment due to these triggering events. Based on the results of the impairment analysis, the carrying value exceeded the fair value on the Cell Therapy reporting unit. The Company recognized a $29,633 goodwill impairment charge during the first quarter of 2023 in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company’s stock price and market capitalization continued to decline, and the Company also determined to cease active recruitment in its AML trial and halted all NK programs. The AML trial was the Company’s most advanced clinical program with a relatively large addressable patient population given the high unmet medical need in relapsed and refractory AML. After the Company ceased recruitment, it removed all associated cash flows relating to that program including all other NK related programs as well. As a result of these triggering events, the Company fully impaired the IPR&D assets associated with these product candidates, and performed a goodwill impairment test on its Cell Therapy reporting unit. At June 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Cell Therapy reporting unit was determined to be at breakeven compared to the carrying value using a discount rate commensurate with the risks associated with the cash flows for preclinical product candidates. The Company also performed a reconciliation of the aggregate fair value of each reporting unit to the market capitalization of the Company. The analysis showed the fair value of the reporting units approximated the Company’s market capitalization, indicating an insignificant control premium. Based on the results of the impairment analysis, the Company did not recognize a goodwill impairment charge during the second quarter of 2023.

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company’s stock price and market capitalization continued to further decline. The Company also elected to terminate development of CYCART-19 for B-cell malignancies during the quarter, as well as paused development in exosomes. Therefore, the Company tested for impairment due to these triggering events. Based on the results of the impairment analysis, the carrying value exceeded the fair value on the Cell Therapy reporting unit. The Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge for the remaining goodwill balance on the Cell Therapy reporting unit of $82,714 during the third quarter of 2023 in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Intangible Assets, Net

Intangible assets, net consisted of the following:

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $1,753 and $2,193 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

No impairment charges were recorded on intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company discontinued its unmodified NK cell and AML Cell Therapy clinical trials and as a result recorded an IPR&D impairment of $107,800 on its CYNK-001 and GMNK intangible assets acquired from the Anthrogenesis acquisition.

Aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding years and thereafter related to intangible assets held as of December 31, 2024 is estimated as follows:

9. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following:

**10. Debt **

Debt consisted of the following:

Yorkville PPA

On September 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Pre-Paid Advance Agreement (“PPA”) with Yorkville, pursuant to which the Company could request advances of up to $40,000 in cash from Yorkville (or such greater amount that the parties may mutually agree) (each, a “Pre-Paid Advance”) over an 18-month period, with an aggregate limitation of $150,000. Pre-Paid Advances were issued at a 2.0% discount, bore interest at an annual rate equal to 6.0% (increased to 15.0% in the event of default as described in the PPA) and could have been offset by the issuance of shares of common stock, at Yorkville’s option, at a price per share calculated pursuant to the PPA, which in no event would be less than $7.50 per share. The issuance of the shares under the PPA was subject to certain limitations, including that the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued pursuant to the PPA could not exceed 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding stock as of September 15, 2022, as well as a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%. Further, Yorkville agreed not to purchase any shares of common stock for 60 days following entry into the PPA, nor could Yorkville purchase more than $6,000 of shares of common stock during a 30-day period, in each case at a price per share less than the Fixed Price, as defined in the PPA. In the event the daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Class A common stock was below $7.50 (the “floor price”) for any five of seven consecutive trading days, the Company would pay Yorkville a monthly cash payment of $6,000, plus any accrued and unpaid interest along with a 5.0% redemption premium until such time as the daily VWAP for five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the due date of the next monthly payment was at least 10.0% greater than $7.50. In connection with the Company’s 2023 annual stockholder meeting held in June 2023, the Company and Yorkville agreed to lower the floor price to $0.50 (the “amended floor price”). The Company also received stockholder approval of the proposal for the issuance of more than 20.0% of its pre-transaction Class A common stock outstanding at a price below the minimum price pursuant to the PPA. Further, absent prior written consent from Yorkville, the Company agreed it would not increase the size or amount borrowed under the C.V. Starr loan facility nor would it incur other borrowings or liens of any kind as long as any amounts were due and remained outstanding to Yorkville until paid in full. The Company agreed that all obligations due and owing to Yorkville would become secured obligations upon any violation under the PPA.

In connection with the entry into the PPA, the Company received the initial Pre-Paid Advance of $40,000 gross or $39,200 net of discount. Each Pre-Paid Advance had a maturity of 12 months. Further Pre-Paid Advances would be based upon the mutual agreement of the parties. Direct costs and fees related to the PPA were recognized in earnings. At issuance, the Company concluded that certain features of the PPA would be considered a derivative that would require bifurcation. In lieu of bifurcation, the Company elected the fair value option for this financial instrument and records changes in fair value within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss at the end of each reporting period. Under the fair value option, upon derecognition the Company will include in net loss the cumulative amount of the gain or loss on the debt that resulted from changes in instrument-specific credit risk.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Yorkville elected to convert $3,889 of principal and $400 of accrued interest into 559,481 shares of common stock. Further, during the year December 31, 2023, total repayments to Yorkville were $18,724 which consisted of (i) $16,811 applied to the principal amount; (ii) $1,073 towards accrued interest; and (iii) $840 of redemption premium. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the debt was $17,223 and the principal balance was $16,623. Refer to Note 4 for additional details regarding the fair value measurement.

On January 12, 2024, the Company and Yorkville entered into a forbearance agreement (“Forbearance Agreement”), pursuant to which Yorkville agreed to restrain from enforcing its rights and remedies as a result of the event of default during the forbearance period. The forbearance period was to continue until the earlier of January 19, 2024 or the date the Company fully repaid all amounts outstanding under the PPA (“Forbearance Period”). During the Forbearance Period, interest accrued at 15.0% per annum. In addition, the Company was to make a cash payment of $17,348 plus per diem interest of $7 for each day after January 12, 2024 until payment was made and was required to issue Yorkville a total of 100,000 shares of its common stock. On January 12, 2024, the Company issued Yorkville 100,000 of its common stock in connection with the extension of the maturity date of the PPA. The PPA was repaid in full on January 17, 2024.

On March 13, 2024, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with Yorkville (see Note 13).

Yorkville Convertible Promissory Note

Upon entry into the SEPA, the Company issued Yorkville a $3,150 convertible promissory note for $2,993 in cash (after a 5.0% original issue discount). The note bears interest at an annual rate equal to 8.0% (increased to 18.0% in the event of default as provided in the note) and was scheduled to mature on March 13, 2025. The note was initially convertible into common stock at a price per share equal to $6.3171, provided however, the conversion price was subject to reset on the earlier of (a) the fifth trading day following the effective date of the resale shelf, or (b) the six-month anniversary of the issuance date of the convertible note (i.e., September 13, 2024). The conversion price was reset to $2.7546 on September 13, 2024. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default (as defined in the note), the note (including accrued interest) may become immediately due and payable. The issuance of the common stock upon conversion of the note and otherwise under the SEPA is capped at 19.9% of the outstanding common stock as of March 13, 2024. Further, the note and SEPA include a beneficial ownership blocker for Yorkville such that Yorkville may not be deemed the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the Company’s failure to file its 2023 Form 10-K by April 30, 2024 (i.e., a deemed Event of Default under the convertible promissory note), the Company began accruing interest at the default rate of 18.0% as of May 1, 2024. A further event of default occurred as a result of the Company’s failure to file a registration statement with the SEC for the resale by Yorkville of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA by May 3, 2024 (see Note 13).

The Company determined that the convertible promissory note included embedded derivatives that would otherwise require bifurcation as derivative liabilities, and neither the debt instrument nor the embedded features are required to be classified as equity. Therefore, at inception, the Company elected to carry the convertible promissory note comprised of the debt host and the embedded derivative liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis as permitted under ASC 825,Financial Instruments. Changes in fair value caused by changes in the instrument-specific credit risk are reported in other comprehensive income, and the remaining change in fair value is reported in earnings (i.e., as a component of other income/expense). Interest expense is a component of the change in fair value of the convertible promissory note and, therefore, is not separately recorded. As a result of the fair value election, the original issue discount of $157 was recorded to other expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. In November 2024, Yorkville elected to convert $1,150 of principal and $169 of accrued interest into 478,881 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the debt was $1,865 and the principal balance was $2,000. Refer to Note 4 for additional details regarding the fair value measurement.

On March 17, 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Yorkville to extend the maturity date of the convertible promissory note from March 13, 2025 to May 12, 2025. In addition, Yorkville agreed not to declare an event of default until May 12, 2025 (the “Forbearance”). In connection with the maturity date extension and Forbearance, the Company agreed to issue Yorkville 100,000 shares of its Class A common stock. The shares of Class A common stock were issued with piggyback registration rights such that the resale of such shares by Yorkville are to be included on any such registration statement filed by the Company following the issuance.

Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes

On November 25, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue, in one or more closings, to the investor and other purchasers in a private placement transaction, unsecured senior convertible notes and warrants for an aggregate original principal amount of up to $1,000. The Company issued and sold $750 unsecured senior convertible notes and warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 263,156 shares of Class A common stock (the “November 2024 Purchaser Warrants”).

The unsecured senior convertible notes bear interest at an annual rate of 8.0% (increasing to 10.0% in the event of default as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and have a maturity date of one year from the date of issuance. Upon an event of default, the notes are convertible at the purchasers’ option into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price per share equal to (i) $2.85 (adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, or similar transactions); or (ii) the offering price of a subsequent financing transaction with gross proceeds of $2,500 or more (a “Subsequent Financing”), subject to a floor price of $1.00 per share. The unsecured senior convertible notes include customary negative covenants restricting the Company’s ability to incur other indebtedness other than as permitted, pay dividends to stockholders, grant or suffer to exist a security interest in any of the Company’s assets, other than as permitted, amongst others. In addition, the unsecured senior convertible notes include customary events of default.

The November 2024 Purchaser Warrants entitle the investors to purchase shares of common stock equal to each purchaser’s subscription amount divided by the exercise price of $2.85 per share. The exercise price, and the number of shares of common stock issuable under the November 2024 Purchaser Warrants, are subject to a one-time reset upon the completion of a Subsequent Financing, subject to a floor price of $1.00 per share. The Purchaser Warrants are immediately exercisable and have a 5-year term.

In connection with the transaction, the Company agreed to issue a 5-year warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 7% of the proceeds of the transaction (the “November 2024 Placement Agent Warrants”), at an exercise price equal to 125% of the offering price. The November 2024 Placement Agent Warrants are subject to the same one-time exercise price adjustment provision as the November 2024 Purchaser Warrants in connection with a Subsequent Financing.

The Company determined that the unsecured senior convertible notes included embedded derivatives that would otherwise require bifurcation as derivative liabilities, and neither the debt instrument nor the embedded features are required to be classified as equity. Therefore, at inception, the Company elected to carry the unsecured senior convertibles note comprised of the debt host and the embedded derivative liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis as permitted under ASC 825,Financial Instruments. Changes in fair value caused by changes in the instrument-specific credit risk are reported in other comprehensive income, and the remaining change in fair value is reported in earnings (i.e., as a component of other income/expense). Interest expense is a component of the change in fair value of the unsecured senior convertible notes and, therefore, is not separately recorded. The November 2024 Purchaser and Placement Agent Warrants are classified as liabilities since the exercise price was not determined at issuance and may be subsequently adjusted in connection with a Subsequent Financing. The fair value of the November 2024 Placement Agent Warrants has been treated as a transaction cost and was reduced from the cash proceeds to arrive at the net proceeds from the transaction. As a result of the fair value election, a charge of $478 was recorded to other expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the difference between the net proceeds from the transaction and the aggregate fair value of the unsecured senior convertible notes and November 2024 Purchaser and Placement Agent Warrants at issuance. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the debt was $620 and the principal balance was $750. Refer to Note 4 for additional details regarding the fair value measurement.

Short-Term Debt - Other and CEO Promissory Note

On August 21, 2023, the Company entered into a loan agreement with its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Robert Hariri, and two unaffiliated lenders, providing for a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000 (of which Dr. Hariri contributed $1,000), or the “Loan.” The Loan bears interest at a rate of 15.0% per year, with the first year of interest being paid in kind on the last day of each month and matured on August 21, 2024. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan, the Company is required to apply the net proceeds from a subsequent transaction (as defined) in which the Company receives gross proceeds of $4,500 or more to repay the Loan. The Company did not repay the Loan upon receipt of the letter of credit funds in connection with signing the lease amendment (see Note 11) or the January 2024 PIPE (see Note 13), both of which were defined as subsequent transactions. The lenders agreed to a loan amendment whereby the loan maturity date was extended to December 31, 2024, and on September 30, 2024, Dr. Hariri and the two unaffiliated lenders entered into an assignment agreement whereby Dr. Hariri assumed the full loan in exchange for repayment of the other lenders’ respective principal loan amount, plus accrued interest. As a result, the loan was reclassified from short-term debt - unaffiliated to short-term debt - related parties. On January 29, 2025, Dr. Hariri extended the maturity date of the Loan from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025.

On October 12, 2023, in order to further address the Company’s immediate working capital requirements, Dr. Hariri and the Company signed a promissory note for $285 which bears interest at a rate of 15.0% per year. The note matures together with the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest upon the earlier of 12 months from the date of the note or upon a change of control.

As of December 31, 2024, there was no other short-term debt and the carrying value of the CEO promissory note inclusive of accrued interest was $3,876. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the other short-term debt and the CEO promissory note inclusive of accrued interest was $2,108 and $1,419, respectively. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the carrying amounts of the loans were deemed to approximate fair value.

Short-Term Debt – Related Parties - C.V. Starr and RWI

C.V. Starr & Co., Inc

On March 17, 2023, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Starr Bridge Loan”) with C.V. Starr & Co., Inc. (“C.V. Starr”), a stockholder of the Company, for an aggregate principal amount of $5,000 net of an original issue discount of $100. The loan bears interest at a rate equal to 12.0% per year or 15.0% in the event of default, with the first year of interest being paid in kind on the last day of each month, and was scheduled to mature on March 17, 2025. In addition, the parties entered into a warrant agreement to acquire up to an aggregate 75,000 shares of Class A common stock (“Starr Warrant”), at a purchase price of $1.25 per whole share underlying the Starr Warrant or $94. The Starr Warrant has a five-year term and had an exercise price of $7.10 per share.

In June 2023, in connection with the Amended RWI Loan (as defined below), the Company granted C.V. Starr additional warrants to acquire up to an aggregate 50,000 shares of its Class A common stock (“Starr Additional Warrant” and in combination with Starr Warrant, “Starr Warrants”), which additional warrants have a 5-year term and had an exercise price of $8.10 per share. The Company applied the guidance for this transaction in accordance with ASC 470-20,Debt with Conversion and Other Options and ASC 815,Derivatives and Hedging. The net proceeds of the Starr Bridge Loan and Starr Additional Warrant were recorded at fair value. The fair value of the Starr Additional Warrant was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Starr Warrants met the requirements for a derivative scope exception under ASC 815-10-15--74(a) for instruments that are both indexed to an entity’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity.

Under the terms of the Starr Bridge Loan, the Company agreed to customary negative covenants restricting its ability to repay indebtedness, pay dividends to stockholders, repay or incur other indebtedness other than as permitted, grant or suffer to exist a security interest in any of the Company’s assets, other than as permitted, or hold cash and cash equivalents less than $3,000 for more than five consecutive business days. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents fell below the $3,000 minimum liquidity covenant, which per the terms of the loan agreement caused an event of default. Therefore, the Company reclassified the loan as a current liability reflected within short-term debt - related parties on the consolidated balance sheets.

On January 12, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment which terminated the minimum $3,000 liquidity covenant requirement. In addition to the negative covenants in the Starr Bridge Loan, the Starr Bridge Loan includes customary events of default and the Company granted C.V. Starr a senior security interest in all of its assets, pari passu with RWI (as defined below).

On March 13, 2024, the Company and C.V. Starr entered into a forbearance agreement (“Starr Forbearance Agreement”) with respect to the Starr Bridge Loan. Under the Starr Forbearance Agreement, (i) C.V. Starr agreed not to exercise its rights and remedies upon the occurrence of any default under the Starr Bridge Loan until the Company’s obligations in respect of the Yorkville convertible promissory note have been indefeasibly paid in full, (ii) C.V. Starr consented to the Company’s incurrence of indebtedness under the Yorkville convertible promissory note, (iii) C.V. Starr consented to cash payments required to be made under the SEPA and the Yorkville convertible promissory note, (iv) the Company agreed to increase the interest rate on the loan outstanding under the Starr Bridge Loan by 100 basis points and (v) the Company agreed to amend the exercise price of (x) that certain warrant to acquire 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for $7.10 per share, expiring March 17, 2028, and (y) that certain warrant to acquire 50,000 shares of common stock for $8.10 per share expiring June 20, 2028, each of which are held by C.V. Starr, such that the exercise price of each such warrant in (x) and (y) is $5.895 per share. In addition, the interest rate of the Starr Bridge Loan was increased to 13.0% per annum. The Starr Forbearance Agreement resulted in a modification of the Starr Bridge Loan, since the change in cash flows was determined to be less than 10%. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recorded and the change in fair value of the Starr Warrants of $51 was recorded as a debt discount and will be amortized based on the new effective interest rate over the term of the Starr Bridge Loan. Due to the Company’s failure to make certain interest payments when due, the Company began accruing interest at the default rate of 16.0% as of April 5, 2024.

On February 12, 2025, the Company entered into a binding term sheet with C.V. Starr, pursuant to which C.V. Starr agreed to, among other things, an extension of the Starr Forbearance Agreement whereby C.V. Starr agreed not to exercise its rights and remedies upon the occurrence of any default under the Starr Bridge Loan and whereby the maturity date of the Starr Bridge Loan has been extended to February 15, 2026. Pursuant to the binding term sheet, the Company agreed to (i) use a portion of the proceeds from its next registered public offering to pay C.V. Starr approximately $800, representing cash interest through January 31, 2025 and (ii) issue to C.V. Starr a new five-year warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of its Class A common stock. In addition, the Company agreed to reprice certain outstanding warrants held by C.V. Starr.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the carrying value of Starr Bridge Loan, inclusive of accrued interest and net of discount, was $5,652 and $5,523, respectively. The carrying amounts of the Starr Bridge Loan were deemed to approximate fair value.

Resorts World Inc Pte Ltd

On May 16, 2023, with written consent provided by Yorkville, the Company entered into a senior secured loan agreement (“RWI Bridge Loan”) with Resorts World Inc Pte Ltd, (“RWI”) providing for an initial loan in the aggregate principal amount of $6,000 net of an original issue discount of $120, which bears interest at a rate of 12.5% per year or 15.5% in the event of default, with the first year of interest being paid in kind on the last day of each month, and matured on June 14, 2023.

On June 21, 2023, the Company closed on an amended and restated senior secured loan agreement (“Amended RWI Loan”), to amend and restate the previous senior secured loan agreement, in its entirety. The Amended RWI Loan provided for an additional loan in the aggregate principal amount of $6,000 net of an original issue discount of $678, which bears interest at a rate of 12.5% per year or 15.5% in the event of default, with the first year of interest being paid in kind on the last day of each month, and was schedule to mature on March 17, 2025. The Amended RWI Loan extended the maturity date of the initial loan to March 17, 2025. In addition, the Amended RWI Loan provided for the issuance of warrants to acquire up to an aggregate 300,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (“RWI Warrant”), at a purchase price of $1.25 per whole share underlying the RWI Warrant (or an aggregate purchase price of $375). The RWI Warrant has afive-year term and an exercise price of $8.10 per share.

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended RWI Loan, the Company was required to apply the net proceeds to the trigger payments due to Yorkville pursuant to the PPA. In addition, the Company agreed to customary negative covenants restricting its ability to repay indebtedness, pay dividends to stockholders, repay or incur other indebtedness other than as permitted, grant or suffer to exist a security interest in any of its assets, other than as permitted, or hold cash and cash equivalents of less than $3,000 for more than five consecutive business days, and includes customary events of default. The Company granted RWI a senior security interest in all of its assets, pari passu with C.V. Starr pursuant to the Starr Bridge Loan. The Company and RWI signed a forbearance agreement on September 14, 2023, whereby RWI agreed to forebear any action under the terms of the Amended RWI Loan in relation to the minimum $3,000 liquidity covenant and with respect to any potential default in relation to the Company’s outstanding debt owed to Yorkville until December 31, 2023. The Company reclassified the loan as a current liability reflected within short-term debt - related parties on the consolidated balance sheets. Pursuant to the amendment on January 12, 2024, see below, the minimum $3,000 liquidity covenant requirement was terminated.

The Company accounted for the Amended RWI Loan in accordance with ASC 470-20,Debt with Conversion and Other Options and ASC 815,Derivatives and Hedging. The net proceeds of the Amended RWI Loan and RWI Warrant were recorded at fair value, which resulted in a total discount of $2,151 based on the difference between the proceeds and fair value which were recorded as a loss within other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the RWI Warrant was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The RWI Warrant met the requirements for a derivative scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a) for instruments that are both indexed to an entity’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity.

On January 12, 2024, the Company entered into a second amended and restated senior secured loan agreement (“RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan”), to amend and restate the previously announced senior secured loan agreement with RWI dated as of May 16, 2023, as amended on June 20, 2023, in its entirety. The RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan provided for an additional loan in the aggregate principal amount of $15,000 net of an original issue discount of $3,750, which bears interest at a rate of 12.5% per year, with the first year of interest being paid in kind on the last day of each month, and matures on July 16, 2025. In addition, the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan provides for the issuance of a 5-year immediately exercisable warrant to acquire up to 1,650,000 shares of Class A common stock (“Tranche #1 Warrant”), and a warrant to acquire up to 1,350,000 shares of Class A common stock, which would only be exercisable upon the later of (x) stockholder approval for Nasdaq purposes of its exercise price, (y) CFIUS clearance and (z) six months from issuance date (“Tranche #2 Warrant”) and will expire 5 years after it becomes exercisable. The Tranche #1 Warrant and Tranche #2 Warrant were each issued on January 16, 2024 in conjunction with the close of the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan. The Tranche #1 Warrant has an exercise price of $2.4898 per share. The Tranche #2 Warrant became exercisable on July 15, 2024 and has an exercise price of $2.988 per share.

Pursuant to the terms of the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan, the Company was required to apply the proceeds of the additional loan (i) to the payment in full of all outstanding amounts owed to Yorkville under the PPA, (ii) to the payment of invoices of certain critical vendors, (iii) to the first settlement payment owed to Palantir (see Note 12), and (iv) for working capital and other purposes pre-approved by RWI. Pursuant to the terms of the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan, the Company agreed to customary negative covenants restricting its ability to pay dividends to stockholders, repay or incur other indebtedness other than as permitted, or grant or suffer to exist a security interest in any of the Company’s assets, other than as permitted. In addition, the Company agreed to apply net revenues received through the sale of its products/provision of services in connection with or related to its distribution and manufacturing agreement with Genting Innovation Pte Ltd (“Genting Innovation”), a related party, as a prepayment towards the loan.

The RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan resulted in an extinguishment of the Amended RWI Loan, since the change in cash flows exceeded 10%. As a result, the Company record a loss on extinguishment equal to the difference between (i) the fair values of the new loan and Tranche #1 and Tranche #2 Warrants and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the Amended RWI Loan, or $3,908. The Company has not elected to carry the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan at fair value, as permitted under ASC 815,Derivatives and Hedging and ASC 825,Fair Value Option for Financial Instruments. The Tranche #1 Warrant has been classified in stockholders’ equity, since it is exercisable into a fixed number of the Company’s own shares at a known exercise price, and therefore is not required to be classified as a liability under ASC 480,Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Tranche #2 Warrant was initially classified as a liability, since the exercise price (i.e., Minimum Price) was not determined at issuance and may have been subsequently adjusted. As of July 15, 2024, the Tranche #2 Warrant became exercisable and no longer contains adjustment provisions to the exercise price that are not indexed to the Company’s own stock, resulting in the reclassification from liability to equity.

The Company and RWI also entered into an investor rights agreement dated as of January 12, 2024. The investor rights agreement provides RWI certain information and audit rights, as well as registration rights with respect to the shares underlying the Tranche #1 Warrant and Tranche #2 Warrant, including both the undertaking to file a registration statement within 45 days of filing of the 2023 Form 10-K, “piggyback” registration rights, as well as the right to request up to three demand rights for underwritten offerings per year; in each case subject to customary “underwriter cutback” language as well as any objections raised by the Securities and Exchange Commission to inclusion of securities. If the initial registration statement was not filed on or prior to May 15, 2024, the investor rights agreement provided for partial liquidating damages equal to 1.0% of the purchase price of the Tranche #1 and Tranche #2 Warrants amount each month, up to a maximum of 6.0%, plus interest thereon accruing daily at a rate of 18.0% per annum.

On March 13, 2024, the Company and RWI entered into a second forbearance agreement (“RWI 2nd Forbearance Agreement”). Under the RWI 2nd Forbearance Agreement, (i) RWI agreed not to exercise its rights and remedies upon the occurrence of any default under the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan until the Company’s obligations in respect of the Yorkville convertible promissory note have been indefeasibly paid in full or March 13, 2025, whichever occurs first, (ii) RWI consented to the Company’s incurrence of indebtedness under the Yorkville convertible promissory note, (iii) RWI consented to cash payments required to be made under the SEPA and the Yorkville convertible promissory note, (iv) the Company agreed to increase the interest rate on the loan outstanding under the RWI Loan Agreement by 100 basis points, or from 12.5% to 13.5% per annum, and (v) the Company agreed to issue RWI a warrant to acquire up to 300,000 shares of common stock (“RWI New Warrant”), which expires June 20, 2028 and has an exercise price of $5.895 per share. The RWI 2nd Forbearance Agreement resulted in a modification of the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan, since the change in cash flows was less than 10%. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recorded, and the fair value of the RWI New Warrant of $1,162 was recorded as debt discount and will be amortized based on the new effective interest rate over the term of the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan. Due to the Company’s failure to make certain interest payments when due, the Company began accruing interest on the Amended RWI Loan balance of approximately $13,700 at the default rate of 16.5% as of August 5, 2024.

On February 12, 2025, the Company entered into a binding term sheet with RWI, pursuant to which RWI agreed to, among other things, an extension of the RWI 2nd Forbearance Agreement whereby RWI has agreed not to exercise its rights and remedies upon the occurrence of any default under certain loans owed to RWI and whereby the maturity date of the foregoing loans is extended to February 15, 2026. Pursuant to the RWI binding term sheet, the Company agreed to (i) use a portion of the proceeds from its next registered public offering to pay RWI approximately $1,300, representing cash interest through January 31, 2025 and (ii) issue to RWI, on July 24, 2025, a new five-year warrant to purchase up to 500,000 shares of its Class A common stock. In addition, the Company agreed to reprice certain outstanding warrants held by RWI.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the carrying values of the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan and Amended RWI Loan, inclusive of interest and net of discount was $30,275 and $12,967, respectively. The carrying amounts of the RWI Second Amended Bridge Loan and Amended RWI Loan were deemed to approximate fair value.

11. Leases

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company’s lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) based on the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the appropriate discount rate by multiple asset classes. Variable lease payments that are not based on an index or that result from changes to an index subsequent to the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability are not included in the measurement of lease ROU assets or liabilities and instead are recognized in earnings in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise any such options. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Rent expense was $4,444 and $3,750 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

On March 13, 2019, Legacy Celularity entered into a lease agreement for a 147,215 square foot facility consisting of office, manufacturing and laboratory space in Florham Park, New Jersey, which expires in 2036. The Company has theoption to renew the term of the lease for two additional five-year terms so long as the lease is then in full force and effect; both option periods have been included in determining the lease term used in recognizing the ROU assets and lease liability. The lease term commenced on March 1, 2020 subject to an abatement of the fixed rent for the first 13 months following the lease commencement date. The initial monthly base rent was approximately $230 and will increase annually. The Company is obligated to pay real estate taxes and costs related to the premises, including costs of operations, maintenance, repair, replacement and management of the new leased premises. In connection with entering into this lease agreement, Legacy Celularity issued a letter of credit of $14,722. The lease agreement allows for a landlord provided tenant improvement allowance of $14,722 to be applied to the costs of the construction of the leasehold improvements.

On September 14, 2023, the Company entered into a lease amendment on the Company’s Florham Park, New Jersey facility to reduce the letter of credit by approximately $4,900 for a new letter of credit in the amount of $9,883 in exchange for higher base rental payments of approximately $400 per year, effective October 1, 2023. The letter of credit, inclusive of interest earned on the account, is classified as restricted cash (non-current) on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates changes to the terms and conditions of a lease contract to determine if they result in a new lease or a modification of an existing lease. The Company accounted for the lease amendment as a modification since the change in lease payments did not represent additional ROU assets. The Company reassessed the IBR, and remeasured the lease liability and ROU asset on the modification date of September 14, 2023. As a result, the Company recorded a decrease to the ROU asset and related lease liability in the amount of $2,083 on the consolidated balance sheets reflecting a higher IBR due to lower Company credit rating.

The components of the Company’s lease costs are classified on its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as follows:

The table below shows the cash activity related to the Company’s lease liabilities:

As of December 31, 2024, the maturities of the Company’s operating lease liabilities were as follows:

As of December 31, 2024, the weighted average remaining lease term of the Company’s operating lease was 21.3 years, and the weighted average discount rate used to determine the lease liability for the operating lease was 14.24%.

Contingent Consideration Related to Business Combinations

In connection with Legacy Celularity’s acquisition in 2017 of HLI Cellular Therapeutics, LLC and Anthrogenesis, the Company has agreed to pay future consideration to the sellers upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones. As a result, the Company recorded $1,413 and $1,606 as contingent consideration as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During 2023, the Company discontinued its unmodified NK cell and AML Cell Therapy clinical trials subject to the contingent consideration agreement under the Anthrogenesis acquisition and, as a result, the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation decreased significantly as of December 31, 2023. Due to the contingent nature of these milestone and royalty payments, there is a high degree of judgment in the management estimates that determine the fair value of the contingent consideration. See Note 4 for further discussion.

Indemnification Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and its executive officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company is not currently aware of any indemnification claims and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 or 2023.

Agreement with Palantir Technologies Inc.

On May 5, 2021, Legacy Celularity executed a Master Subscription Agreement (the “Palantir MSA”) with Palantir under which it agreed to pay $40,000 over five years for access to Palantir’s Foundry platform along with certain professional services. The Company intended to utilize Palantir’s Foundry platform to secure deeper insights into data obtained from the Company’s discovery and process development, as well as manufacturing and biorepository operations. In January 2023, the Company ceased use of the software and provided a notice of dispute to Palantir on the basis that the software had not performed as promised and that Palantir had failed to provide the Company with the professional services necessary to successfully implement, integrate and enable the Foundry platform. As a result, in accordance with ASC 420,Exit or Disposal Costs, during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized the remaining related cease-use costs liability estimated based on the discounted future cash flows of contract payments for $24,402 which was included as software cease-use costs in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. On December 21, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with Palantir (the “Palantir Settlement Agreement”), which was subsequently amended on January 10, 2024 and May 6, 2024, whereupon the parties agreed that if the Company paid Palantir the settlement fees of $3,500, less any amounts previously paid, and issued shares as discussed in theArbitration Demand section below no later than June 3, 2024, the parties would cease the arbitration and deem the original Palantir MSA terminated. The Company made the required payments prior to June 3, 2024, and on June 4, 2024, the parties dismissed all claims and counterclaims. Accordingly, at December 31, 2023, the Company reversed previously recognized costs in excess of the final settlement amount. The Company hadno liability as of December 31, 2024 and a current liability of $3,500 as of December 31, 2023, respectively, for accrued R&D software on the consolidated balance sheets.

Sirion License Agreement

In December 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement (“Sirion License”) with Sirion Biotech GmbH (“Sirion”). Under the Sirion License, Sirion granted the Company a license related to patent rights and know-how associated with poloxamers (“Licensed Product”). As part of the Sirion License, the Company paid Sirion $136 as an upfront fee, a $113 annual maintenance fee and may owe up to $5,099 related to clinical and regulatory milestones for each Licensed Product during the term. The Company also agreed to pay Sirion low-single digit royalties on net sales on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis and until the later of: (i) expiration of the last to expire valid claim of the patents covering such Licensed Product, and (ii)10 years after first Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product. In addition, the Sirion License is subject to termination rights including for termination for material breach and by the Company for convenience upon 30 days written notice. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no milestones have been achieved and no royalties have been earned.

At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. The Company expenses as incurred the costs related to such legal proceedings.

Civil Investigative Demand

The Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (the “Demand”) under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729, dated August 14, 2022, from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The Demand requests documents and information relating to claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal insurers for services or procedures involving injectable human tissue therapy products derived from amniotic fluid or birth tissue and includes Interfyl, a biomaterials product. The Company is cooperating with the request and is engaged in an ongoing dialogue with the Assistant U.S. Attorneys handling the Demand. The matter is still in preliminary stages and there is uncertainty as to whether the Demand will result in any liability.

Arbitration Demand from Palantir Technologies Inc.

On April 20, 2023, Palantir commenced an arbitration with JAMS Arbitration asserting claims for declaratory relief and breach of contract relating to the Palantir MSA, seeking damages in an amount equal to the full value of the contract. The Company responded to the arbitration demand and asserted counterclaims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, fraudulent inducement, violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law, amongst others, in relation to the Palantir MSA.

On December 21, 2023, the Company and Palantir entered into the Palantir Settlement Agreement to resolve the JAMS Arbitration. The Palantir Settlement Agreement was subsequently amended on January 10, 2024 and May 6, 2024. Both parties agreed to dismiss the arbitration proceeding and dispute and provide for mutual releases upon the Company’s satisfaction of a settlement payment obligation. Through June 3, 2024, the Company made total settlement payments of $3,500 and issued Palantir an aggregate of 60,584 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock as consideration for further amendments to the Palantir Settlement Agreement. On June 4, 2024, the parties dismissed all claims and counterclaims. The Palantir MSA is now fully terminated and neither party has any further rights or obligations thereunder. The shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issued to Palantir were issued with piggyback registration rights. Resale of such shares by Palantir shall be included on any future registration statement filed by the Company.

Celularity Inc. v. Evolution Biologyx, LLC, et al.

On April 17, 2023, the Company filed a complaint against Evolution Biologyx, LLC, Saleem S. Saab, individually, and Encyte, LLC (collectively, “Evolution”) in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey to recover unpaid invoice amounts for the sale of its biomaterial products in the amount of approximately $2,350, plus interest. In September 2021, the Company executed a distribution agreement with Evolution, whereupon Evolution purchased biomaterial products from the Company for sale through Evolution’s distribution channels. The Company fulfilled Evolution’s orders and otherwise performed each of its obligations under the distribution agreement. Despite attempts to recover the outstanding invoices and Evolution’s promise to pay, Evolution has refused to pay any of the invoices and has materially breached its obligations under the distribution agreement. The Company’s complaint asserts claims of breach of contract and fraudulent inducement, amongst others. On April 4, 2024, Evolution filed a counter claim alleging damages in an amount to be determined resulting from alleged breach of contract, breach of warranty, quasi contract and fraud. The Company believes Evolution’s counter claims are without any merit, and the Company intends to vigorously pursue the matter to recover the outstanding payments owed by Evolution, including interest and associated attorney’s fees, as well as defend against Evolution’s counterclaims.

TargetCW v. Celularity Inc.

On March 27, 2024, WMBE Payrolling, Inc., dba TCWGlobal, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California alleging a breach of contract and account stated claims relating to a Master Services Agreement dated May 4, 2020, or the TCWGlobal MSA, for the provision of certain leased workers to perform services on the Company’s behalf. The complaint alleges that the Company breached the TCWGlobal MSA by failing to make payments on certain invoices for the services of the leased workers. On May 7, 2024, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release with TCWGlobal whereupon the Company agreed to pay $516 in tiered monthly installments, with the last payment due and payable on May 1, 2025, in exchange for a dismissal of the complaint and full release of all claims. The Company defaulted on the payments in November 2024. On April 21, 2025, the Company was served with a motion by TCWGlobal to enforce the settlement and enter judgment against the Company in the amount of $350.

Hackensack Meridian v. Celularity Inc.

On March 27, 2025, Hackensack Meridian Health (“HUMC”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey seeking $946 allegedly owed by Celularity for costs associated with clinical trials. The amounts claimed were part of a three-party arrangement with a contract research organization (CRO), which the Company engaged to make payments on behalf of the Company to HUMC. The Company has asserted that it believes there are improper charges in the claim. The parties are attempting to agree on the actual amounts owed by the Company.

13. Equity

Common Stock

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended and restated, authorized the Company to issue 730,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value Class A common stock. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding were 22,546,671 and 19,378,192, respectively.

Voting Power

Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, the holders of common stock possess all voting power for the election of the Company’s directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action. Holders ofcommon stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Dividends

Holders of Class A common stock will be entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Company’s board of directors in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor. In no event will any stock dividends or stock splits or combinations of stock be declared or made on common stock unless the shares of common stock at the time outstanding are treated equally and identically.

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

In the event of the Company’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up, the holders of the common stock will be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all of the Company’s assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders, after the rights of the holders of the preferred stock have been satisfied.

Preemptive or Other Rights

The Company’s stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to common stock.

Election of Directors

The Company’s board of directors is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term, except with respect to the election of directors at the special meeting held in connection with the merger with GX, Class I directors are elected to an initial one-year term (and three-year terms subsequently), the Class II directors are elected to an initial two-year term (and three-year terms subsequently) and the Class III directors are elected to an initial three-year term (and three-year terms subsequently). There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

Preferred Stock

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Company’s board of directors is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers and preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series of preferred stock. The Company’s board of directors is able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the Company’s board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of Celularity or the removal of existing management. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company didnot have any outstanding preferred stock.

ATM Agreement

On September 8, 2022, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with BTIG, LLC, Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and B. Riley Securities, Inc., acting as sales agents and/or principals, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time in its sole discretion, shares of its common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $150,000, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the ATM Agreement. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of shares under the ATM Agreement.

Any shares offered and sold in the at-the-market offering will be issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and the related prospectus supplement. Under the ATM Agreement, the sales agents may sell shares of common stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Company will pay the sales agents a commission rate of up to 3.0% of the gross sales proceeds of any shares sold and has agreed to provide the sales agents with customary indemnification, contribution and reimbursement rights. The ATM Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and conditions to the placements of the shares pursuant thereto.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received gross and net proceeds of $141 and $136, respectively, from the sale of 13,296 shares of its common stock at an average price of $10.60 per share under the ATM Agreement. No shares were issued under the ATM Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2024.

March 2023 PIPE

On March 20, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with two accredited investors, including its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Robert Hariri, providing for the private placement of (i)938,183 shares of its Class A common stock, and (ii) accompanying warrants to purchase up to 938,183 shares of Class A common stock (the “March 2023 PIPE Warrants”), for $8.34 per share and $1.25 per accompanying March 2023 PIPE Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $9,000 (of which Dr. Hariri subscribed for $2,000). The closing of the private placement occurred on March 27, 2023. Each March 2023 PIPE Warrant had an exercise price of $30.00 per share, is immediately exercisable, will expire on March 27, 2028 (five years from the date of issuance), and is subject to customary adjustments for certain transactions affecting the Company’s capitalization. The March 2023 PIPE Warrants may not be exercised if the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by the holder thereof (together with its affiliates) would exceed the specified percentage cap provided therein (which may be adjusted upon 61 days advance notice) immediately after exercise thereof.

The Company accounted for the March 2023 PIPE Warrants and common stock as a single non-arm’s length transaction. The Company applied the guidance for this transaction in accordance with ASU 2020-06,(Subtopic 470-20): Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options, ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging,andASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Accordingly, the net proceeds were allocated between common stock and the March 2023 PIPE warrants at their respective fair value, which resulted in a net premium of $1,650 based on the difference between the proceeds and fair value of the common stock and March 2023 PIPE warrants, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the March 2023 PIPE Warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the common stock based on closing date share price. The Company evaluated the March 2023 PIPE warrants under ASC 815 and determined that they did not require liability classification and met the requirements for a derivative scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a) for instruments that are both indexed to an entity’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity. The warrants were recorded in additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets.

On September 14, 2023, the Company entered into a warrant amendment on the March 2023 PIPE Warrants with the unaffiliated investor to reduce the exercise price from $30.00 per share to $10.00 per share for warrants to purchase 729,698 shares of Class A common stock. The warrant amendment was executed as consideration for professional services rendered to the Company. As a result, the Company accounted for the transaction in accordance with ASC 718,Stock-Based Compensation, and based on the calculated incremental fair value attributable to the modified warrant compared to the original warrant immediately prior to the modification, recognized an expense of $402 within selling, general and administrative on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Registered Direct Offerings

On April 10, 2023, the Company closed on a registered direct offering of 923,076 shares of its Class A common stock together with warrants (“Registered Direct Warrants”) to purchase up to 923,076 shares of its Class A common stock at a combined purchase price of $6.50 per share and accompanying warrant, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $6,000 before deducting placement agent commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The Registered Direct Warrants had an exercise price of $7.50, became exercisable beginning six months after the date of issuance and will expire five years thereafter. The Company used the $5,505 net proceeds from the offering to repay its obligations to Yorkville under the PPA. The Company considered the appropriate accounting guidance and concluded that the Registered Direct Warrants qualified for liability treatment, and therefore, recorded the warrant liability at fair value $4,280 which was based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The remainder of the net proceeds were allocated to the Class A common stock issued and recorded as a component of equity.

Upon the closing of the registered direct offering on April 10, 2023, the Company amended the existing May 2022 PIPE Warrants, to reduce the exercise price from $82.50 to $7.50 per share and extended the expiration date to five and one-half years following the closing of the offering or October 10, 2028. The modification resulted in the recognition of additional warrant liability of $1,389 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the modification date.

On July 31, 2023, the Company closed on a registered direct offering of 857,142 shares of its Class A common stock together with warrants (“July 2023 Registered Direct Warrants”) to purchase up to 857,142 shares of its Class A common stock at a combined purchase price of $3.50 per share and accompanying warrant, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $3,000 before deducting placement agent commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The July 2023 Registered Direct Warrants have an exercise price of $3.50, will be exercisable beginning six months after the date of issuance and will expire five years thereafter. The Company used the $2,740 net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company considered the appropriate accounting guidance and concluded that the July 2023 Registered Direct Warrants qualified for liability treatment, and therefore, recorded the warrant liability at fair value $2,645 which was based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The remainder of the net proceeds were allocated to the Class A common stock issued and recorded as a component of equity.

In connection with the July 31, 2023 registered direct offering described above, the Company also entered into an amendment to certain existing warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 892,856 shares at an exercise price of $7.50 (consisting of all the May 2022 PIPE Warrants and a portion of the Registered Direct Warrants issued in April 2023), and such amended warrants have a reduced exercise price of $3.50 per share. As noted above, the modification resulted in an increase to the warrant liability of $511 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the July 31, 2023 modification date.

May 2023 PIPE

On May 18, 2023, the Company closed on a securities purchase agreement with a group of accredited investors, providing for the private placement of an aggregate (i)581,394 shares of its Class A common stock and (ii) accompanying warrants to purchase up to 581,394 shares of Class A common stock (the “May 2023 PIPE Warrants”), for $5.20 per share and $1.25 per accompanying May 2023 PIPE Warrant, for an aggregate gross purchase price of $3,750. Each May 2023 PIPE Warrant has an exercise price of $10.00 per share, is immediately exercisable, will expire on May 17, 2028, and is subject to customary adjustments for certain transactions affecting the Company’s capitalization. The May 2023 PIPE Warrants may not be exercised if the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by the holder thereof (together with its affiliates) would exceed the specified percentage cap provided therein (which may be adjusted upon 61 days advance notice) immediately after exercise thereof. The Company evaluated the May 2023 PIPE Warrants under ASC 815 and determined that they did not require liability classification and met the requirements for a derivative scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a) for instruments that are both indexed to an entity’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity. Accordingly, the proceeds were allocated between common stock and the May 2023 PIPE Warrants at their respective relative fair value basis to stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the May 2023 PIPE Warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the common stock based on the closing date share price and were recorded in additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets.

January 2024 PIPE

On January 12, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an existing investor, Dragasac Limited (“Dragasac”), providing for the private placement of (i)2,141,098 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, or the Class A common stock, and (ii) accompanying warrants to purchase up to 535,274 shares of Class A common stock (“January 2024 PIPE Warrant”), for $2.4898 per share and $1.25 per accompanying January 2024 PIPE Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6,000. The closing of the private placement occurred on January 16, 2024. The securities were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration provided under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The offer and sale of the shares and January 2024 PIPE Warrant (including the shares underlying the January 2024 PIPE Warrant) has not been registered under the Act or any state securities laws. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Each January 2024 PIPE Warrant had an exercise price of $2.4898 per share, is immediately exercisable, and will expire on January 16, 2029 (five years from the date of issuance).

The Company accounted for the January 2024 PIPE Warrant and common stock as a single non-arm’s length transaction recognized in equity. The Company applied the guidance for this transaction in accordance with ASU 2020-06,(Subtopic 470-20): Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options, ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging,andASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Accordingly, the net proceeds were allocated between common stock and the January 2024 PIPE Warrant at their respective fair values, which resulted in proceeds of $909 allocated to the January 2024 PIPE Warrant and the balance of the proceeds allocated to the common stock. The fair value of the January 2024 PIPE Warrant was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the common stock based on closing date share price. The Company evaluated the January 2024 PIPE warrant under ASC 815 and determined that it did not require liability classification and met the requirements for a derivative scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a) for instruments that are both indexed to an entity’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity. The warrants were recorded in additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets. Also in connection with the January 2024 PIPE transaction, the Company repriced legacy warrants held by Dragasac to purchase 652,981 shares of common stock with a previous exercise price of $67.70 per share to a new exercise price of $2.4898 per share. The modification of warrants resulted in incremental fair value of $524, which has been recognized as an equity issuance cost and had no net impact on stockholders’ equity as the warrants remain equity-classified after the modification.

In connection with the execution of the securities purchase agreement, the Company also entered into an investor rights agreement with Dragasac dated as of January 12, 2024. The investor rights agreement provides Dragasac certain information and audit rights, as well as registration rights with respect to the shares (and shares underlying the January 2024 PIPE Warrant), including both the undertaking to file a registration statement within 45 days of filing of the 2023 Form 10-K, “piggyback” registration rights, as well as the right to request up to three demand rights for underwritten offerings per year; in each case subject to customary “underwriter cutback” language as well as any objections raised by the SEC to inclusion of securities. If the initial registration statement was not filed on or prior to May 15, 2024, the investor rights agreement provides for partial liquidating damages equal to 1.0% of the subscription amount each month, up to a maximum of 6.0%, plus interest thereon accruing daily at a rate of 18.0% per annum. The Company began to accrue partial liquidating damages and interest as of May 22, 2024. As a condition to closing, the Company entered into an amendment to an amended and restated distribution and manufacturing agreement with an affiliate of Dragasac to add cell therapy products in clinical development, investigational stage and/or in near-term commercial use to the list of products under the scope of the exclusive distribution and manufacturing licenses (including unmodified natural killer cells (such as CYNK-001) for aging and other non-oncology indications, PSC-100, PDA-001, PDA-002, pEXO and APPL-001 for regenerative indications).

Effective February 16, 2024, in order to comply with Section 4.15(a) of the securities purchase agreement, the Company entered into an amended employment agreement with its Chief Administrative Officer (“CAO”), whereby the CAO agreed to decrease his base salary from $500 to $425 per year through December 31, 2024.

Warrant Modifications

On January 12, 2024, in connection with the January 2024 PIPE, the Company agreed to amend the exercise price of legacy warrants held by Dragasac to purchase 652,981 shares of common stock, which expired March 16, 2025, from $67.70 per share to $2.4898 per share. On January 24, 2025, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of both the January 2024 PIPE Warrant and legacy warrants held by Dragasac from $2.4898 per share to $2.07 per share. See Warrants section below for additional information. On March 13, 2024, in connection with the RWI Forbearance Agreement (see Note 10), the Company agreed to issue RWI a warrant to acquire up to 300,000 shares of common stock, which expires June 20, 2028 and has an exercise price of $5.895 per share. Additionally, on March 13, 2024, in connection with the Starr Forbearance Agreement (see Note 10), the Company agreed to amend the exercise price of the 75,000 March 2023 Loan Warrants expiring March 17, 2028 from $7.10 per share to $5.895 per share (the “Minimum Price” as determined pursuant to Nasdaq 5635(d) on March 13, 2024) and the 50,000 June 2023 Warrants expiring June 20, 2028 from $8.10 per share to $5.895 per share, each of which are held by C.V. Starr.

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

On March 13, 2024, the Company and Yorkville entered into a SEPA. Under the SEPA, the Company has the right to sell to Yorkville up to $10,000 of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time, over a 36-month period. Sales of the common stock to Yorkville under the SEPA, and the timing of any such sales, are at the Company’s option, and the Company is under no obligation to sell any shares of common stock to Yorkville under the SEPA except in connection with notices that may be submitted by Yorkville, in certain circumstances as described below.

Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in the SEPA, which include having a resale shelf for shares of common stock issued to Yorkville declared effective, the Company has the right to direct Yorkville to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock by delivering written notice (“Advance”). An Advance may not exceed 100% of the average of the daily trading volume of the common stock on Nasdaq, during thefive consecutive trading days immediately preceding the written notice.

Yorkville will generally purchase shares pursuant to an Advance at a price per share equal to 97% of the VWAP, on Nasdaq during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the date of the delivery of the written notice (unless the Company specifies a minimum acceptable price or there is no VWAP on the subject trading day).

The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA or (ii) the date on which Yorkville shall have made payment for shares of common stock equal to $10,000. The Company has the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five trading days’ prior written notice to Yorkville, provided that there are no outstanding advances for which shares of common stock need to be issued and the Yorkville convertible promissory note (the “Initial Advance”) (see Note 10) has been paid in full. The Company and Yorkville may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent.

As consideration for Yorkville’s commitment to purchase the shares of common stock pursuant to the SEPA, the Company paid Yorkville a $25 cash due diligence fee and a commitment fee equal to 16,964 shares of common stock. The Company recorded direct issuance costs of $125 inclusive of the commitment shares as other expense in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss.

In connection with the entry into the SEPA, on March 13, 2024, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Yorkville, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file with the SEC no later than May 3, 2024, a registration statement for the resale by Yorkville of the shares of common stock issued under the SEPA (including the commitment fee shares). The Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective within 45 days of such filing and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement during the 36-month commitment period. The Company will not have the ability to request any Advances under the SEPA (nor may Yorkville convert the Initial Advance into common stock) until such resale registration statement is declared effective by the SEC. The Company has not yet filed a registration statement with the SEC for the resale by Yorkville of the shares of common stock issued under the SEPA, which is deemed an event of default under the SEPA and as a result, the interest rate on the on the Yorkville convertible promissory note (see Note 10) increased to 18.0%.

The Company determined that the SEPA should be accounted for as a derivative measured at fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized in earnings. Because the Company has not yet filed a registration statement and no shares can currently be issued under the SEPA, the SEPA is deemed to have no value as of the issuance date and as of December 31, 2024.

Warrants

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 11,221,557 shares of Class A common stock. A summary of the warrants is as follows:

14. Stock-Based Compensation

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

In July 2021, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) to employees and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options (“NSOs”), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards and other forms of stock awards to employees, directors and consultants.

The number of shares of Class A Common Stock initially reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan is 2,091,528. As of December 31, 2024,330,391 shares were reserved for issuance and those shares remain available for future grant under the 2021 Plan. The number of shares reserved for issuance will automatically increase on January 1 of each year, for a period of 10 years, from January 1, 2022 through January 1, 2031, by 4.0% of the total number of shares of Celularity common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, or a lesser number of shares as may be determined by the Company’s board of directors. On January 1, 2025, the number of shares reserved for issuance increased to 1,229,890 and those shares remain available for future grant under the 2021 Plan. The shares added to the 2021 Plan on January 1, 2025, remain subject to an effective registration statement on Form S-8. Shares subject to stock awards granted under the 2021 Plan that expire or terminate without being exercised in full, or that are paid out in cash rather than in shares, will not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. Additionally, shares issued pursuant to stock awards under the 2021 Plan that are repurchased or forfeited, as well as shares that are reacquired as consideration for the exercise or purchase price of a stock award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to a stock award, will become available for future grant under the 2021 Plan.

The 2021 Plan is administered by the Company’s board of directors. The Company’s board of directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, may delegate to one or more officers the authority to (i) designate employees other than officers to receive specified stock awards and (ii) determine the number of shares to be subject to such stock awards. Subject to the terms of the 2021 Plan, the plan administrator has the authority to determine the terms of awards, including recipients, the exercise price or strike price of stock awards, if any, the number of shares subject to each stock award, the fair market value of a share, the vesting schedule applicable to the awards, together with any vesting acceleration, the form of consideration, if any, payable upon exercise or settlement of the stock award and the terms and conditions of the award agreements for use under the 2021 Plan. The plan administrator has the power to modify outstanding awards under the 2021 Plan. Subject to the terms of the 2021 Plan and in connection with a corporate transaction or capitalization adjustment, the plan administrator may not reprice or cancel and regrant any award at a lower exercise price, strike price or purchase price or cancel any award with an exercise price, strike price or purchase price in exchange for cash, property or other awards without first obtaining the approval of the Company’s stockholders.

2017 Equity Incentive Plan

The 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) adopted by Legacy Celularity’s board of directors and approved by Legacy Celularity’s stockholders provided for Legacy Celularity to grant stock options to employees, directors and consultants of Legacy Celularity. In connection with the closing of the merger and effectiveness of the 2021 Plan, no further grants were made under the 2017 Plan.

The total number of stock options that could have been issued under the 2017 Plan was 3,234,204. Shares that expired, forfeited, canceled or otherwise terminated without having been fully exercised were available for future grant under the 2017 Plan.

The 2017 Plan is administered by the Company’s board of directors or, at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, by a committee of the board of directors. The exercise prices, vesting and other restrictions were determined at the discretion of Legacy Celularity’s board of directors, or its committee if so delegated, except that the exercise price per share of stock options could not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the share of common stock on the date of grant and the term of stock option could not be greater thanten years. Stock options granted to employees, officers, members of the board of directors and consultants typically vested over a three or four year period.

Stock Option Valuation

Awards with Service Conditions

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account inputs such as the exercise price, the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock at grant date, expected term, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. The fair value of each grant of stock options was determined by the Company using the methods and assumptions discussed below. Certain of these inputs are subjective and generally require judgment to determine.

The following table presents, on a weighted average basis, the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

The weighted average grant-date fair value per share of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $2.66 and $5.35, respectively.

The following table summarizes option activity with service conditions under the 2021 Plan and the 2017 Plan:

The aggregate intrinsic value of options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the stock options and the fair value of the Company’s Class A common stock for those options that had exercise prices lower than the fair value of Class A common stock.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense relating to option awards with service conditions of $8,336 and $9,293 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the aggregate intrinsic value was $8 and $0, respectively, for the stock options exercised. As of December 31, 2024, unrecognized compensation cost for options issued with service conditions was $7,129 and will be recognized over an estimated weighted-average amortization period of 2.09 years.

Awards with Performance Conditions

In connection with the advisory agreement signed with Robin L. Smith, MD (see Note 20), the Company awarded options under the 2021 Plan to acquire a total of 105,000 shares with an exercise price of $29.90 to Dr. Smith, a former member of the Company’s board of directors. The initial tranche of 25,000 stock options vested upon execution of the advisory agreement on August 16, 2022. The remaining 80,000 stock options are subject to vesting upon achievement of certain predefined milestones in relation to the expansion of the degenerative disease business. On November 1, 2022, the second tranche of 20,000 stock options vested upon achievement of the first milestone. The fair value of the award was determined based on a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company’s grant date fair value assumptions were 79.9% expected volatility,2.95% risk-free interest rate, five-year expected term, and 0% expected dividend yield. The remaining 60,000 stock options were forfeited on August 16, 2023 upon termination of the advisory agreement. There were no milestones achieved or probable of being achieved and accordingly there wasno stock-based compensation expense recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company issues restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees that generally vest over a four-year period, with 25% vesting on the anniversary of the grant date, and the remainder vesting in equal annual installments thereafter so that the RSUs are vested in full on the four-year anniversary of the grant date. At times, the board of directors may approve exceptions to the standard RSU vesting terms. Any unvested shares will be forfeited upon termination of services. The fair value of an RSU is equal to the fair market value price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. RSU expense is amortized straight-line over the vesting period. There are no RSUs outstanding under the 2017 Plan.

The following table summarizes activity related to RSU stock-based payment awards under the 2021 Plan:

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $3,022 and $5,724 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to RSUs. As of December 31, 2024, the total unrecognized expense related to all RSUs was $4,136, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.44 years.

Stock Units with Market Condition Vesting

In July 2023, the Company granted 174,500 market condition stock unit awards (“MCUs”) under the 2021 Plan to certain members of management. The awards are scheduled to vest over a period of one to three years from the grant date based on continuous employment and specified market conditions based on the Company’s stock price at the time of vest. As of December 31, 2024,145,833 of the MCUs were forfeited as a result of the participant’s termination of continuous service. Stock-based compensation expense for the remaining 28,667 MCUs is being recognized over the requisite service period based on the award’s fair value on the grant date, which was determined based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant of $5.00, further discounted to reflect the effects of the market condition of the award. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense relating to MCUs of $211 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Stock-based compensation expense relating to MCUs for the year ended December 31, 2023 was de minimis.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense in the following expense categories of its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss:

15. Revenue Recognition

Net revenues include: (i) sales of biomaterial products, including Biovance, Biovance 3L, Rebound, Interfyl, and CentaFlex, of which our direct sales are included in Product Sales while sales through our network of distribution partners are included in License, royalty and other; and (ii) the collection, processing and storage of umbilical cord and placental blood and tissue after full-term pregnancies, collectively, Services.

The following table provides changes in deferred revenue from contract liabilities:

16. License and Distribution Agreements

Sequence LifeScience, Inc. Independent Distribution Agreement

On August 23, 2024, the Company entered into an Independent Distributor Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Sequence LifeScience, Inc. (“Sequence”), which provided the Company exclusive rights to market, sell and distribute Rebound TM, a full thickness placental-derived allograft matrix product, in the U.S. for a period of ninety (90) days. Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, Sequence made Rebound available for purchase to the Company at a fixed price consistent with market terms. The Distribution Agreement was intended to be a bridge to allow the parties to cooperatively market the product prior to consummating an asset purchase agreement. The Company acquired Rebound on October 9, 2024, through an asset purchase agreement with Sequence. See Note 3 for more information about the Rebound asset purchase.

Regeneron Research Collaboration Services Agreement

On August 25, 2023, the Company entered into a multi-year research collaboration services agreement with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Regeneron”), pursuant to which the Company will support the research effort of Regeneron’s allogeneic cell therapy candidates (the “Regeneron Services Agreement”). The Regeneron Services Agreement’s initial focus is the research on a targeted allogeneic gamma delta chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy owned by Regeneron designed to enhance proliferation and potency against solid tumors. Payments to the Company under the Regeneron Services Agreement included a non-refundable up-front payment of $750 and payments based upon the achievement of defined milestones according to written statements of work. The Regeneron Services Agreement will expire five years from the effective date and may be terminated immediately by either party for the uncured material breach, bankruptcy, or insolvency of the other party. Regeneron may also terminate for convenience upon 30 days’ written notice.

The Regeneron Services Agreement grants Regeneron a royalty-free, fully-paid up, worldwide, non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to the Company’s intellectual property (“IP”) to the extent that any such license is necessary for Regeneron to fully use the Company’s research services. The Company determined that the (1) research licenses and (2) the research activities performed by the Company represent a single combined performance obligation under the Regeneron Services Agreement. The Company determined that Regeneron cannot benefit from the licenses separately from the research activities because these services are specialized and rely on the Company’s expertise such that these activities are highly interrelated and therefore not distinct. Accordingly, the promised goods and services represent one combined performance obligation and the entire transaction price was allocated to that single combined performance obligation. The performance obligation will be satisfied over the research term as the Company performs the research activities.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company received payments totaling $1,325 under the Regeneron Services Agreement, of which $688 was recognized in revenue during the fourth quarter of 2024 based on achievement of defined milestones. As of December 31, 2024, the remaining $637 was recorded as deferred revenue to be recognized based on satisfaction of future performance obligations. The Company recognizes revenue using the cost-to-cost method, which it believes best depicts the transfer of control to the customer over time. Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to the total estimated costs expected upon satisfying the identified performance obligation. Under this method, revenue is recorded as a percentage of the estimated transaction price based on the extent of progress towards completion.

Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. License and Transfer Agreement

The Company and Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (“Sorrento”), a related party through September 30, 2023, are party to a License and Transfer Agreement for the exclusive worldwide license to CD19 CAR-T constructs for use in placenta-derived cells and/or cord blood-derived cells for the treatment of any disease or disorder (the “2020 Sorrento License Agreement”). The Company retains the right to sublicense the rights granted under the agreement with Sorrento’s prior written consent. As consideration for the license, the Company is obligated to pay Sorrento a royalty equal to low single-digit percentage of net sales (as defined within the agreement) and a royalty equal to low double-digit percentage of all sublicensing revenues (as defined within the agreement). The 2020 Sorrento License Agreement will remain in effect until terminated by either the Company or Sorrento for uncured material breach upon 90 days written notice or, after the first anniversary of the effective date of the 2020 Sorrento License Agreement, by the Company for convenience upon six months’ written notice to Sorrento. On October 19, 2023, Sorrento filed a Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas which plan contemplates a liquidation of the debtor. If the Plan is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, the Company believes that Sorrento will not be able to perform under the license and that any rights the Company might have under the license would be unenforceable. After assessing the status of the IND to determine an optional path forward for the program, the Company elected to terminate development of CYCART-19 for B-cell malignancies during the third quarter of 2023. The Company may continue pre-clinical development of other T-cell candidates.

Genting Innovation PTE LTD Distribution Agreement

On May 4, 2018, concurrently with Dragasac’s equity investment in Legacy Celularity, Legacy Celularity entered into a distribution agreement with Genting Innovation PTE LTD (“Genting Innovation”) pursuant to which Genting Innovation was granted supply and distribution rights to certain Company products in select Asia markets (the “Genting Agreement”). The Genting Agreement granted Genting Innovation limited distribution rights to the Company’s then-current portfolio of degenerative disease products and provides for the automatic rights to future products developed by or on behalf of the Company.

The term of the Genting Agreement was renewed on January 31, 2023, and automatically renews for successive 12 month terms unless: Genting provides written notice of its intention not to renew at least three months prior to a renewal term or the Genting Agreement is otherwise terminated by either party for cause.

Genting Innovation and Dragasac are both direct subsidiaries of Genting Berhad, a public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia.

On June 14, 2023, the Genting Agreement was amended and restated to include manufacturing rights in the territories covered under the agreement, expansion to two new countries, and a commitment by the Company to provide technology transfer pursuant to the plan established by a Joint Steering Committee. On January 17, 2024, the Company further amended the Genting Agreement to include distribution and manufacturing rights to certain of the Company’s cell therapy products, including PSC-100, PDA-001, PDA-002, pEXO-001, APPL-001 and CYNK-001. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has not recognized any revenue under the Genting Agreement.

Celgene Corporation License Agreement

The Company is party to a license agreement with Celgene (the “Celgene Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company granted Celgene two separate licenses to certain intellectual property. The Celgene Agreement grants Celgene a royalty-free, fully-paid up, worldwide, non-exclusive license to the certain intellectual property (“IP”) for pre-clinical research purposes in all fields and a royalty-free, fully-paid up, worldwide license, with the right to grant sublicenses, for the development, manufacture, commercialization and exploitation of products in the field of the construction of any CAR, the modification of any T-lymphocyte or NK cell to express such a CAR, and/or the use of such CARs or T-lymphocytes or NK cells for any purpose, including prophylactic, diagnostic, and/or therapeutic uses thereof. The Celgene Agreement will remain in effect until its termination by either party for cause.

Pulthera, LLC Binding Term Sheet

Concurrent with the entry into the securities purchase agreement for the March 2023 private placement described in Note 13 above, the Company executed a binding term sheet to negotiate and enter into a sublicense agreement of certain assets from an affiliate of Pulthera, LLC (the “sublicensor”). Pursuant to the binding term sheet, the Company paid the sublicensor a $3,000 option fee in cash and issued $1,000 of shares of its Class A common stock (169,492 shares based on the closing price on March 17, 2023) as consideration for stem-cells inventory to be used in research and development. The option fee paid by the Company will be applied towards an initial license fee as outlined in the sublicense agreement. The Company is required to use diligent and reasonable efforts to develop and obtain regulatory approval to market at least one licensed product contingent upon a firm written commitment to provide further financing to the Company. The $3,000 option fee was recorded as acquired IPR&D expense included in research and development expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2023, as the acquired IPR&D had no alternative future use.

License Agreement with BioCellgraft, Inc.

On December 11, 2023, the Company and BioCellgraft, Inc. (“BioCellgraft”) entered into a license agreement whereby the Company granted an exclusive license to BioCellgraft, with the right to sublicense, to develop and commercialize certain licensed products to the dental market in the United States over an initial four year term and it will automatically renew for an additionaltwo years unless either party provides written notice of termination. BioCellgraft will pay to the Company total license fees of $5,000 over atwo year period, as defined. Upon execution of the agreement, the Company received a $300 payment towards the first year payment. To date, the Company has not received any additional consideration beyond the $300 license payment under the agreement.

17. Benefit Plan

The Company established a defined contribution savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan covers all employees who meet minimum age and service requirements and allows participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis. Matching contributions to the plan may be made at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company made contributions of$139 and $198, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company accrued $1,159 but has not made the matching contribution to the plan.

18. Income Taxes

A summary of the Company’s current and deferred tax provision is as follows:

A reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate is as follows:

Net deferred income tax liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 consisted of the following:

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $121,804 and $109,544, respectively, which may be available to offset future taxable income and begin to expire in 2040. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company also had U.S. federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of $5,674, which may be available to offset future tax liabilities and begin to expire in 2032.

Utilization of the U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credit carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and corresponding provisions of state law, due to ownership changes that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future. These ownership changes may limit the amount of carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382, results from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50% over a three-year period. A corporation that experiences an ownership change is subject to an annual limitation under Section 382, which is determined by first multiplying the value of the Company’s stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate subject to additional adjustments, as required. The Company experienced an ownership change on August 15, 2017. The annual limitation from the ownership change is not expected to result in the expiration of net operating losses or research and development credits before utilization.

The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate taxable income in future years. ASC 740-10,Income Taxes, requires a valuation allowance to be applied against deferred tax assets when it is considered “more likely than not” that some or all of the gross deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial performance.

At December 31, 2024, based upon the weight of available evidence, the Company concluded that it is not more likely than not that the benefits of the federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its federal and state gross deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance increased by $11,619 and $39,272 during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The impact of an uncertain income tax position is recognized at the largest amount that is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $1,028. The Company does not expect that there will be a significant change in the unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to income taxes as part of its income tax provision. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company hadno accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions and no amounts had been recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and numerous states, as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal and state jurisdictions, where applicable. There are currently no pending tax examinations. The Company is open to future tax examination under statute from 2019 to the present; however, carryforward attributes that were acquired may still be adjusted upon examination by federal, state or local tax authorities if they either have been or will be used in a future period.

19. Segment Information

The Company regularly reviews its segments and the approach used by management to evaluate performance and allocate resources. The Company manages its operations through an evaluation ofthree distinct operating segments: Cell Therapy, Degenerative Disease, and BioBanking. The chief operating decision maker, who is the Company’s chief executive officer, uses the actual segment contribution results compared to budgets, among other factors, for performance evaluation and resource allocation among these segments. The segment contribution is calculated as net revenues less the cost of revenues (excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets) and direct expenses. Direct expenses in the Cell Therapy operating segment consist of research and development costs, and direct expenses in the Degenerative Disease and Biobanking operating segments consist mainly of selling, general, and administrative costs. The CODM assesses actual results against budgets and forecasts, and uses this information to make decisions about strategic investment into the Company’s operations.

The reportable segments, which are the same as the operating segments, were determined based on the distinct nature of the activities performed by each segment. Cell Therapy broadly refers to therapies the Company is researching and developing. Therapies being researched are unproven and in various phases of development. Degenerative Disease produces, sells and licenses products used in surgical and wound care markets. BioBanking collects stem cells from umbilical cords and placentas and provides storage of such cells on behalf of individuals for future use.

The Company manages its assets on a total company basis, not by operating segment. Therefore, the chief operating decision maker does not regularly review any asset information or related income statement effects by operating segment and, accordingly, asset information is not reported by reportable segment. Refer to the Consolidated Balance Sheet for information about total assets.

Financial information by segment is as follows:
