NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is a clinical-stage specialty immunotherapy company harnessing the power of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes to develop off-the-shelf, precision T cell therapies for the treatment of infectious diseases, cancers, and other disorders. The Company’s precision T cell technology, ExacTcell, is a set of processes and methodologies to develop, enrich, and expand single human leukocyte antigen-restricted CTL therapies with proactively selected, precisely defined targets. The Company has completed a Phase 1 proof-of-concept trial for the first clinical product of ExacTcell, TVGN 489, for the treatment of ambulatory, high-risk adult COVID-19 patients, and has other product candidates in its pipeline.

On February 14, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 28, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Semper Paratus Acquisition Corporation (“Semper Paratus”), Semper Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Semper Paratus (“Merger Sub”), SSVK Associates, LLC (the “Sponsor”), Tevogen Bio Inc (n/k/a Tevogen Bio Inc.) (“Tevogen Bio”), and Dr. Ryan Saadi, in his capacity as seller representative, Merger Sub merged with and into Tevogen Bio, with Tevogen Bio being the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Semper Paratus (the “Merger” and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”) and Semper Paratus was renamed Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc.

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the then-outstanding shares of common stock of Tevogen Bio were converted into shares of the common stock of the Company at an exchange ratio of approximately 4.85 shares of Company common stock for each share of Tevogen Bio common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”). See Note 4 for more information on the Business Combination.

As discussed in Note 4, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under which the historical financial statements of the Company prior to the Merger are those of Tevogen Bio. All information related to the common stock of Tevogen Bio prior to the Closing and presented in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio.

Following the Merger, the former equity holders and holders of convertible promissory notes of Tevogen Bio held 91.0% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and the former shareholders, creditors, and other contractual counterparties of Semper Paratus held 9.0% of the Company.

NOTE 2. DEVELOPMENT-STAGE RISKS AND LIQUIDITY

The Company has generally incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales from its product candidates currently in development. Management believes that cash of $1,974,932 as of March 31, 2025, the amounts available under the Loan Agreement entered into in June 2024 (as defined in Note 7), and the commitment for an $8,000,000 grant from KRHP LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“KRHP”), will allow the Company to have adequate cash and financial resources to operate for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these unaudited consolidated financial statements. The Company received a capital contribution in the form of a grant of $2,000,000 from KRHP in January 2025 and drew $1,000,000 in each of February 2025 and in March 2025 under the Loan Agreement. The initial $2,000,000 in grant funding may not be used for the payment of a pre-existing pledge or other financial obligation and does not include any requirement to repay KRHP or to issue equity in consideration of the funding. KRHP has committed to provide an additional $8,000,000 of grant funding to the Company to be used towards the Company’s ongoing operational expenses. The grant funding will be used to satisfy the Company’s obligations as they come due through March 31, 2026. The grant funding will be accounted for as a capital contribution and the proceeds recorded to additional paid-in capital. The Company does not plan to initiate a clinical trial until additional funding is received.

Management regularly evaluates different strategies to obtain funding for operations for subsequent periods. These strategies may include but are not limited to private placements of securities, licensing and/or marketing arrangements, partnerships with other pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies, and public offerings of securities. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms and the Company may not be able to enter into strategic alliances or other arrangements on favorable terms. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company’s stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient funding, the Company could be required to delay, reduce or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion, or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects.

Operations since inception have consisted primarily of organizing the Company, securing financing, developing licensed technologies, performing research, conducting pre-clinical studies and a clinical trial, and pursuing and completing the Business Combination. The Company is subject to risks associated with any specialty biotechnology company that requires considerable expenditures for research and development. The Company’s research and development projects may not be successful, products developed may not obtain necessary regulatory approval, and any approved product may not be commercially viable. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change and is largely dependent on the services of its employees and consultants.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The summary of significant accounting policies in Note 3 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 2, 2025 have not materially changed, except as reflected in the following:

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations of the Company have been included.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is both available and regularly reviewed by its chief operating decision maker or decision-making group. The Company views its operations and manages its business inone segment. As part of new requirements under ASU 2023-07,Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures(“ASU 2023-07”), the Company has included enhanced footnotes within its quarterly reporting—see Note 11.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (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. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

Level 1Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar, but not identical, assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data;
Level 3Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available and which require the Company to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Financial instruments recognized at historical amounts in the balance sheets consist of accounts payable and notes payable. The Company believes that the carrying value of accounts payable and notes payable approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company’s recurring fair value measurements consist of the convertible promissory notes prior to the Merger, for which the Company elected the fair value option to reduce accounting complexity, and private warrants after the Merger. Such fair value measurements are Level 3 inputs. The following table provides a roll-forward of the aggregate fair values of the Company’s convertible promissory notes.

Accrued interest expense159,305
Change in fair value(48,468,678)
Derecognition upon conversion of convertible promissory notes(46,622,627)
Balance at March 31, 2024$—

There were no transfers between levels during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company used the probability weighted expected return method valuation methodology to determine the fair value of the convertible promissory notes prior to the Merger. Significant assumptions and ranges used in determining the fair value of convertible promissory notes prior to the Merger include volatility (80%), discount rate (35% -36%), and probability of a future liquidity event (85% -95%). The Company used its stock price on the Closing Date to determine the fair value for the derecognition of the convertible promissory notes upon conversion on the Closing Date.

The Company recorded an unrealized gain on fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of $13,857 during the first quarter of 2025 and an unrealized loss of $31,973 during the first quarter of 2024. The change in value during these periods was largely attributable to changes in the price of the underlying common stock and risk-free rates. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company acquired private warrants in connection with the Closing and issued written call options in connection with the Loan Agreement. The fair value of the written call options decreased to $0 between their issuance and December 31, 2024, and remained at $0 during the first quarter 2025. Accordingly, the written call options are not included in the tables below. Such fair value measurements are Level 3 inputs. The following table provides a roll-forward of the aggregate fair values of the warrants.

The Company’s nonrecurring fair value measurements consist of Series A Preferred Stock. Such fair value measurements are Level 3 inputs. The Company determined the fair value of Series A Preferred Stock using a Monte Carlo Simulation (“MCS”). Key inputs utilized in the MCS to estimate fair value of Series A Preferred Stock included a range of volatility between 75% to 85%, a holding period to a deemed liquidation event, as defined in the Series A Preferred Stock agreement, ranging from 0.5 to 10.0 years, and a risk-free interest rate between 4.3% and 5.3%. The difference between the cash received of $2,000,000 upon issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock and its estimated fair value was recognized as general and administrative expense on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The Company used a MCS valuation methodology to determine the fair value of the freestanding $14,000,000 purchase option and remaining embedded $27,000,000 purchase option associated with the Loan Agreement as of March 31, 2025. The MCS methodology simulates the Company’s future stock price to estimate if and when the Trailing VWAP (as defined below) will reach $10.00 per share, and discounts the resulting payoff back to each valuation date using a present value factor. Significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of these options include volatility of 78.0% and discount rate of 3.9%. At March 31, 2025, the MCS produced a fair value of $0 relating to these freestanding and embedded options.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company computes basic net loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted-average common stock outstanding during the period. The Company determined that each outstanding share of preferred stock and restricted common stock would participate in earnings available to common stockholders but would not participate in losses. The Company computes diluted net income (loss) per share by dividing the net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period, plus the potential dilutive effects, if any, of potentially dilutive securities. Given the Company’s net loss, basic and diluted net loss per share for the period ended March 31, 2025 are the same.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, which enhances reportable segment disclosures by requiring disclosures such as significant segment expenses. The main provisions of this update require companies to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses, segment profit and loss, and other segments items that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). This update also requires companies to disclose the title and position of the CODM and to explain how the CODM uses the reported segment measures in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The update also requires companies with a single reportable segment to provide all required segment reporting disclosures. This new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2024 for annual reporting and interim periods beginning in 2025.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,*Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,*which modifies the disclosure requirements for income taxes. This update requires disclosure of tabular statutory to effective rate reconciliation in both percentages and dollars, additional disaggregated rate reconciliation categories and disaggregation of both income taxes paid and income tax expense by jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We expect this update to only impact our disclosures with no impact to our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, (Subtopic 220-40)(“ASU 2024-03”), which was clarified in January 2025 with ASU 2025-01 (collectively, “ASU 2025-01 and 2024-03”). ASU 2025-01 and 2024-03 improves disclosures regarding the types of expenses included in commonly presented expense captions, including disaggregating the amounts of employee compensation, depreciation and amortization included within each income statement expense caption. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its unaudited consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

NOTE 4. BUSINESS COMBINATION

On the Closing Date, the Company completed the Business Combination described in Note 1. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under GAAP because Tevogen Bio was determined to be the accounting acquirer based upon the terms of the Merger and other factors, including that following the Merger, former Tevogen Bio (i) equity holders and holders of convertible promissory notes owned approximately 91.0% of the Company, (ii) directors constituted the majority (six of seven) of the directors of the Company, and (iii) management held all key positions of management of the Company. Accordingly, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of Tevogen Bio issuing stock to acquire the net assets of Semper Paratus. As a result of the Merger, the net liabilities of Semper Paratus were recorded at their acquisition-date fair value in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported operating results prior to the Merger are those of Tevogen Bio. Immediately after the Merger, there were 164,614,418 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding.

The following table shows the net liabilities acquired in the Merger:

Cash$229,328
Due from Sponsor158,819
Prepaid expenses and other assets2,501
Accounts payable(96,175)
Accrued expenses(1,269,126)
Notes payable(1,651,000)
Derivative warrant liabilities(29,000)
Total net liabilities acquired(2,654,653)
Plus: Merger transaction costs limited to cash acquired(229,328)
Total net liabilities acquired plus transaction costs$(2,883,981)

Total transaction costs of $7,728,681 were incurred in relation to the Business Combination through the Closing Date, of which $229,328 were charged directly to equity to the extent of the cash received from the Business Combination, with the balance of $7,499,353 charged to Merger transaction costs for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Former holders of Tevogen Bio common stock and the Sponsor are eligible to receive up to an aggregate of 24,500,000 shares of common stock (“Earnout Shares”) if the volume-weighted average price (the “VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock reaches specified threshold levels during the three-year period commencing on the Closing Date. Refer to Note 5, Earnout Shares, for further details of the earnout arrangement.

In connection with the Merger, the Company issued Series B Preferred Stock to the Sponsor in return for the Sponsor assuming $3,613,000 of liabilities and obligations (“Assumed Liabilities”) of Semper Paratus and Tevogen Bio. The issuance date fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock was recorded to Merger transaction costs within the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. All of the issued Series B Preferred Stock was repurchased by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2024 in exchange for the Sponsor being released from their obligation to repay the Assumed Liabilities. See Note 9 for additional information.

NOTE 5. EARNOUT SHARES

Following the Closing, former holders of Tevogen Bio common stock may receive up to 20,000,000 Earnout Shares in tranches of 6,666,667,6,666,667, and 6,666,666 shares of common stock per tranche, respectively. The first, second, and third tranches are issuable if the VWAP per share of the Company’s common stock is greater or equal to $15.00, $17.50, and $20.00, respectively, over any twenty trading days within any thirty consecutive day trading period during the three-year period after the Closing.

The Sponsor received the right to Earnout Shares with the same terms above, except that each of the Sponsor’s three earnout tranches are for 1,500,000 shares of common stock, for an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of common stock across the entire Sponsor earnout. The Earnout Shares are a form of dividend for holders of Tevogen Bio common stock, and the Earnout Shares earnable by the Sponsor are treated as contingent consideration in a reverse recapitalization. In accordance with ASC 815, the Earnout Shares were considered to be indexed to the Company’s common stock and are classified within permanent equity.

NOTE 6. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER LIABILITIES

Accrued expenses and other liabilities consisted of the following:

March 31,December, 31
20252024
Professional services$1,519,767$1,309,163

Total$1,983,354$1,712,396

NOTE 7. DEBT

On February 14, 2024, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, previously issued promissory notes and accrued interest were automatically converted into an aggregate of 10,337,419 shares of common stock. These debt obligations were retired upon conversion.

Loan Agreement

In June 2024, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with The Patel Family, LLP (the “Patel Family”), a related party of the Company, providing for an unsecured line of credit facility (the “Facility”) for term loans of up to an initial total of $36,000,000. Under the Facility, the Company may draw up to $1,000,000 in term loans per calendar month over a draw period of 36 months. Each term loan draw will have a maturity date of 48 months and will accrue interest at the lower of (i) daily SOFR plus 2.00% and (ii)7.00%. Interest accrues quarterly and is payable on the three-month anniversary of the draw date. Interest is payable in shares of common stock at an effective price of $1.50 per share. Interest payable through December 31, 2024 relating to the first two draws on the Facility were settled in February 2025 through issuance of 18,847 shares of common stock. Principal may be prepaid at any time without penalty, and repayments or prepayments may be made in cash or common stock at the Company’s election. Payments of principal in common stock would be made at an effective price of the greater of $1.50 per share and the ten-day trailing volume weighted average price per share of the common stock (the “Trailing VWAP”) as of the trading day prior to payment. As an inducement to enter into the Loan Agreement, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to the Patel Family during June 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had drawn $1,000,000 from the Facility, with maturity dates in July and August 2028. The Company drew an additional $1,000,000 in each of February and March 2025, with maturity dates in February and March 2029, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, $27,000,000 remained available for future financing over the remaining 27 months of the draw period.

The Loan Agreement includes a purchase option whereby the Patel Family has the option to purchase up to $14,000,000 of shares of common stock at a purchase price equal to 70% of the Trailing VWAP per share (the “$14 million Purchase Option”). The $14 million Purchase Option only becomes exercisable once Trailing VWAP reaches $10.00 per share. The $14 million Purchase Option was determined to be a freestanding derivative liability under ASC 815 and is carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded to change in fair value of written call option derivatives liabilities within the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Loan Agreement also includes a purchase option (the “Additional Amount Purchase Option”) that is identical to the $14 million Purchase Option, except that the option is exercisable for an amount up to the then-remaining undrawn term loan amount under the Loan Agreement at the time Trailing VWAP reaches $10.00 per share. The Additional Amount Purchase Option was determined to be an embedded derivative within the written loan commitment that requires bifurcation under ASC 815, and thus is carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded to change in fair value of written call option derivatives liabilities within the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows.

The $14 million Purchase Option and the Additional Amount Purchase Option are recorded to written call option derivative liabilities within the unaudited consolidated balance sheet and have a fair value of $0 at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Loan Agreement is a written loan commitment that is not eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825,Financial Instruments. However, management intends to elect the fair value option for future draws under this commitment, and therefore has expensed all issuance costs associated with the Loan Agreement, which are comprised of the fair value of the 1,000,000 shares of common stock issued to the Patel Family as well as the issuance date fair value of the $14 million Purchase Option and Additional Amount Purchase Option.

Notes Payable

As a result of the Merger, the Company assumed notes payable held by Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”) for which the proceeds were to be used for working capital purposes by Semper Paratus with an outstanding balance of $1,651,000 on the Closing Date and which remain outstanding at March 31, 2025. The notes payable do not accrue interest. The outstanding balance of the notes was required to be repaid in full within five business days of the Merger, and the Company is therefore in default of its obligations at March 31, 2025. The notes’ default provisions do not require the Company to transfer any shares or pay any amounts to Polar.

NOTE 8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In connection with the Closing, the Company adopted the Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”) and no longer grants awards pursuant to the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). Each restricted stock unit (“RSU”) award granted under the 2020 Plan that was outstanding and unvested as of the Closing Date was automatically canceled and converted into an award under the 2024 Plan with respect to the common stock of the Company (the “Rollover RSUs”). Such Rollover RSUs remain subject to the same terms and conditions as set forth under the applicable award agreement prior to the Closing.

In addition to covering the Rollover RSUs, under the 2024 Plan, the Company is authorized to grant awards up to an aggregate 40,000,000 shares of common stock. The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted common stock (“Restricted Stock”), RSUs, and other equity-based awards. As of March 31, 2025, awards for 18,952,839 shares remained available to be granted under the 2024 Plan.

The Company has issued RSUs that are subject to either service-based vesting conditions or service-based and performance-based vesting conditions. Compensation expense for service-based RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Compensation expense for service-based and performance-based RSUs (“Performance-Based RSUs”) is recognized when the performance condition, which is based on a liquidity event condition being satisfied, is deemed probable of achievement.

On the Closing Date, the Company issued an aggregate of 19,348,954 RSUs under the 2024 Plan to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Ryan Saadi (the “Special RSU Award”). Such RSUs immediately converted into shares of Restricted Stock, the restrictions on which lapse in four equal annual installments beginning on February 14, 2031 (“Vesting Period”). Pursuant to the terms of the Special RSU Award, Dr. Saadi will be entitled to vote the Restricted Stock, but the shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered, subject to forfeit. Dr. Saadi will automatically forfeit all unvested Restricted Stock in the event he departs the Company. The fair value per share for the Special RSU Award was determined to be $4.51 per share, equivalent to the Company’s stock price on the Closing Date, resulting in a total grant date fair value of $87,263,783. In accordance with ASC 718,Compensation - Stock Compensation(“ASC 718”), the Company will recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis from the Closing Date until the completion of the Vesting Period.

Series A Preferred Stock

In March 2024, the Company authorized and issued 2,000 and 500 shares, respectively, of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A”) to the Patel Family at a price of $4,000 per share (the “Series A Original Issue Price”), for gross proceeds of $2,000,000. The Company recorded an expense of $799,990 in its unaudited consolidated statements of operations related to issuance of the Series A equal to the fair value of the Series A when issued of $5,600 per share less the purchase price of $4,000 per share.

Holders of Series A are entitled to receive dividends accruing daily on a cumulative basis payable at a fixed rate of 5% per annum per share onthe Series A Original Issue Price, which rate will automatically increase by 2% every year that the Series A remains outstanding (the “Series A Accruing Dividends”). These dividends become payable when and if declared by the Company. The Series A Preferred Stock will also participate on an as-converted basis in any regular or special dividends paid to holders of the common stock.

Liquidation

The Series A ranks senior to common stock and Series C Preferred Stock in liquidation priority. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, or certain deemed liquidation events, the Series A is redeemable for a price equal to the greater of the Series A Original Issue Price plus all Series A Accruing Dividends that are unpaid through the redemption date, or such amount that would have been payable had the Series A converted into shares of common stock immediately before the liquidation or deemed liquidation event.

Voting

The Series A does not have any voting rights.

Redemption

The holders of Series A are not entitled to redeem their shares outside of the liquidation of the Company or the occurrence of a deemed liquidation event. The Company is entitled to redeem the Series A at a price equal to the Series A Original Issue Price plus any Series A Accruing Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, if the VWAP of the Company’s common stock exceeds $5.00 per share forthe twenty days immediately prior to the Company’s call election.

Series A-1 Preferred Stock

On March 27, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement with the Patel Family covering the issuance of 600 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock for a gross purchase price of $6,000,000. The terms of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock are identical to the Series A, except that the cumulative dividends are capped at 15% per annum, and the Series A-1 Issuance Price is defined as $10,000 per share. As of March 31, 2025, the Patel Family had paid a non-refundable deposit of $3,000,000 towards the Series A-1 purchase price, and no shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock were issued or outstanding.

Series B Preferred Stock

In connection with the Closing, the Company entered into an agreement to issue shares of Series B to the Sponsor in return for the Sponsor assuming certain liabilities and obligations of Semper Paratus and Tevogen Bio. In March 2024,3,613 shares of Series B were issued in return for the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities. The issuance date fair value of the Series B was determined to be $3,613,000 and was recorded within Merger transaction costs in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. The Series B was classified as permanent equity.

On June 15, 2024, the Company and the Sponsor entered into the Preferred Stock Repurchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company repurchased all outstanding Series B in exchange for the release of the Sponsor from its obligations related to the Assumed Liabilities, but no cash consideration. The repurchase was recorded as a deemed contribution from a related party and recorded to additional paid-in capital. As of June 30, 2024, there wereno shares of Series B outstanding, and on August 9, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination to eliminate the Series B.

Series C Preferred Stock

On August 21, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Series C Agreement”) with the Patel Family, pursuant to which the Patel Family purchased 600 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C”) of the Company at a price of $10,000 per share (the “Series C Original Issue Price”), for gross proceeds of $6,000,000.

The Series C is subject to a call right providing the Company the right to call the stock at any time after the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. The Company also agreed that so long as the Series C is outstanding, the Company will not, without the written consent of the holders of 50.1% of the Series C, amend, alter, or repeal any provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws in a manner adverse to the Series C. Assessed under accounting guidance within ASC 480 and ASC 815, as the Series C is unregistered and without mandatory redemption features, the Series C is classified within equity at issued face value as of March 31, 2025.

Dividends

The Series C carries an annual 7.5% cumulative dividend, compounded annually, beginning on the later of (1) September 30, 2024 and (2) the date on which the Patel Family has paid the entirety of the purchase price under the Series C Agreement and ending on the last business day of the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2034 (the “Series C Accruing Dividends”). Dividends will be payable in shares of Series C or, at the election of the Company, in cash.

NOTE 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company incurred $2,000,000 in fees to the Sponsor for advisory services (the “Sponsor Advisory Service Fee”). In connection with the Merger and thereafter, the Company and Sponsor agreed that $250,000 of the Sponsor Advisory Service Fee is payable in cash, $250,000 would be offset against amounts due from the Sponsor, and the remainder of the Sponsor Advisory Service Fee was paid with the issuance of 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at Closing.

NOTE 11. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company operates inone operating segment, and therefore one reportable segment, and is focused on the global discovery, development and commercialization of proprietary therapeutics. The Company’s business activities are managed on a consolidated basis through the development and potential commercialization of pharmaceutical products, which are aimed at the global market in the event that products are successful in receiving regulatory approvals. The Company’s determination that it operates as a single operating segment is consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting for future periods. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer.

The accounting policies for the Company’s single operating segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company’s single operating segment incurs expenses from the development of TVGN 489, which is developed by the Company’s research and development department, designed to target various disease indications. The Company has not yet generated revenue in its operating history.

For the segment, the chief operating decision maker uses net loss, which is reported on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations as consolidated net income (loss), to allocate resources (including employees, property, and financial resources), predominantly during the annual budget and forecasting process. The chief operating decision maker also uses consolidated net loss, along with non-financial inputs and qualitative information, to evaluate the Company’s performance, establish compensation, monitor budget versus actual results, and decide the level of investment in the Company’s various research activities. The measure of segment assets is reported on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

NOTE 12. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

The below table is a reconciliation of net loss attributable to common stockholders. Given the Company’s net loss, basic and diluted net loss per share for the period ended March 31, 2025 are the same.

The above table excludes any potentially anti-dilutive shares as a result of the $14 million Purchase Option and the Additional Amount Purchase Option (see Note 7). These are excluded as the number of shares issuable cannot be determined until the conditions for issuance are met and the share prices are known upon exercise.

NOTE 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure from the balance sheet date through May 14, 2025, the issuance date of these the unaudited consolidated financial statements, and has not identified any additional items requiring disclosure except as noted below.

On April 17, 2025, the Company entered into a Master Services and Facilities Agreement (the “MSFA”) with CD 8 Technology Services LLC (“CD8”). The MSFA establishes the general terms and conditions under which CD8 would provide the Company with access to specialized manufacturing facilities, including clean rooms and laboratories, as well as related operational services, to support the production of the Company’s cell therapy products. The MSFA provides that the specific details of these facilities and services, including scope of work, costs, and timelines, will be set out in one or more individual project work orders. CD8 is associated with Dr. Manmohan Patel, who beneficially owns more than 5% of the Company’s common stock.

On April 29, 2025, the Company executed a draw on the Loan Agreement for an additional $0.5 million to be utilized for operational expenses. As of the date of filing, the facility has a remaining capacity of $25.0 million and remains available for use for the next 25 months.
