Current report
The Notes are our general, unsecured, senior obligations. The Notes will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2026, at a rate equal to 2.750% per year. In addition, special interest will accrue on the Notes upon the occurrence of certain events relating to our failure to file certain reports with the SEC as provided in the Indenture and as described below. The Notes also have customary provisions relating to the occurrence of “Events of Default” (as defined in the Indenture) with certain interest penalty provisions. The Notes will mature on August 1, 2031, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by us.
Current report
Noteholders may convert their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date based on an initial conversion rate of 19.4932 shares of common stock, per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $51.30 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Indenture. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.
Current report
The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations described below), at our option at any time, and from time to time, on a redemption date on or after August 6, 2029 and on or before the 51st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date we send the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date we send such notice. However, we may not redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes unless at least $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time we send the related redemption notice. In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.
Current report
If a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occurs, then, subject to certain conditions and except as set forth in the Indenture, noteholders may require us to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition in the Indenture of a Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the common stock.
Current report
Lastly, the Notes contain a beneficial ownership limitation, and as a result of such limitation, noteholders do not have the right to convert all or any portion of the Notes held by such noteholder, to the extent that immediately prior to, or immediately after giving effect to such conversion by such noteholder, together with its affiliates and any other persons acting as a group together with such noteholder or any of such noteholder’s affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to, and immediately after giving effect to, the conversion of all or any portion of the Notes; provided, that such 4.99% beneficial ownership can be increased or decreased at the discretion of the noteholder; provided further, that such limitation in no event can exceed 19.99%.

Previous report
Based on evaluation of blinded event rates in the ongoing VIKTORIA-1 Phase 3 clinical trial, the primary completion date for the PIK3CA WT patient cohort is projected to occur in June 2025 with topline data now anticipated to be available in the third quarter of 2025. If our topline data from the WT cohort is positive, we expect the data will support the filing of our first new drug application and, if approved, our transition to a commercial stage company. If gedatolisib ultimately does receive FDA approval for both the PIK3CA WT and MT populations, we estimate the peak revenue potential for this second-line indication could exceed $2 billion with just 40% market penetration.

Previous wording
Celcuity is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of targeted therapies for the treatment of multiple solid tumor indications. The Company’s lead therapeutic candidate is gedatolisib, a kinase inhibitor of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (“PI3K”), serine/threonine-protein kinase protein kinase B (“AKT”), mechanistic target of rapamycin (“mTOR”) pathway that binds to all class I PI3K isoforms and the mTOR complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2. By targeting all class I PI3K isoforms and mTORC1/2, gedatolisib induces comprehensive inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR (“PAM”) pathway. Its mechanism of action and pharmacokinetic properties are differentiated from other currently approved and investigational therapies that target PI3K or mTOR alone or together. A Phase 3 clinical trial, VIKTORIA-1, evaluating gedatolisib in combination with fulvestrant with or without palbociclib in patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer is currently enrolling patients. Site selection activities are completed and site activation activities for a Phase 3 clinical trial, VIKTORIA-2, evaluating gedatolisib in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor and fulvestrant as first-line treatment for patients with endocrine treatment resistant HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer, are completed and site activities have begun. The first patient is expected to be dosed in the second quarter of 2025. A Phase 1b/2 clinical trial, CELC-G-201, evaluating gedatolisib in combination with darolutamide in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (“mCRPC”), is currently underway. An investigator sponsored trial has been initiated in collaboration with the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital to evaluate gedatolisib in combination with abemaciclib and letrozole in patients with endometrial cancer.

Previous wording
Isoform-specific PI3K inhibitors administered orally were developed to reduce toxicities in patients. While the range of toxicities associated with isoform-specific inhibitors is narrower than oral pan-PI3K or PI3K/mTOR inhibitors, administering them orally on a continuous basis still leads to challenging toxicities. The experience with an FDA approved oral p110-α specific inhibitor, PIQRAY, illustrates the challenge. In its Phase 3 pivotal trial, PIQRAY was found to induce a Grade 3 or 4 adverse event (“AE”) related to hyperglycemia in 39% of patients evaluated. In addition, 26% of patients discontinued alpelisib due to treatment related AEs. By contrast, in the 103-patient dose expansion portion of the Phase 1b clinical trial with gedatolisib, only 7% of patients experienced Grade 3 or 4 hyperglycemia and less than 9% discontinued treatment.

A Phase 1b clinical trial (B2151009) evaluating patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer was initiated in 2016 and subsequently enrolled 138 patients. Four patients from this study continue to receive study treatment, as of March 31, 2025, each of whom has received study treatment for more than five years. The B2151009 clinical trial was an open label, multiple arm Phase 1b clinical trial that evaluated gedatolisib in combination with palbociclib (CDK4/6 inhibitor) and fulvestrant or letrozole in patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer. Thirty-five patients were enrolled in two dose escalation arms to evaluate the safety and tolerability and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (“MTD”) of gedatolisib when used in combination with the standard doses of palbociclib and endocrine therapy (letrozole or fulvestrant). The MTD was determined to be 180 mg administered intravenously once weekly. A total of 103 patients were subsequently enrolled in one of four expansion arms (A, B, C, and D).

High objective overall response rates (“ORR”) were observed in all four expansion arms and were comparable in each arm for PIK3CA wild type (“WT”) and PIK3CA mutant (“MT”) patients. In patients who received prior hormonal therapy alone or in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (Arms B, C, and D), the ORR (including unconfirmed partial responses) ranged from 36% to 77%. In patients who were treatment naïve in the advanced setting (Arm A), the ORR was 85%. Each arm achieved its primary endpoint target, which was reporting higher ORR in the study arm than the ORR from either the PALOMA-2 study (ORR=55%) that evaluated palbociclib plus letrozole for Arm A or the PALOMA-3 study (ORR=25%) that evaluated palbociclib plus fulvestrant for Arms B, C, and D. For all patients enrolled in the expansion portion of the study who had evaluable tumors, the ORR observed was 63%.

In connection with the funding of each of the Term C Loan, the Term D Loan, the Term E Loan and the Term F Loan, the Company agreed to issue to Innovatus and Oxford warrants to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 2.5% of the principal amount of the applicable Term Loan divided by the exercise price, which shall, with respect to the Term C Loan, be equal to the lower of (i) the volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five-trading day period ending on the last trading day immediately preceding the execution of the A&R Loan Agreement or (ii) the closing price on the last trading day immediately preceding the execution of the A&R Loan Agreement. Accordingly, on May 30, 2024, the Company issued 103,876 warrants with an exercise price of $14.84 per share. The relative fair value of the warrants was approximately $1.2 million. For the additional Term Loans, the exercise price will be based on the lower of (i) the exercise price for the Warrants issued pursuant to the Term C Loan or (ii) the volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five-trading day period ending on the last trading day immediately preceding the applicable Term Loan funding. The Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and are exercisable through the tenth anniversary of the applicable funding date.

Our expectations as to how long our current capital resources will be sufficient to fund our operations are based on assumptions that may not be accurate, and we could use our current capital resources sooner than we currently expect. In addition, we may seek to raise additional capital to finance capital expenditures and operating expenses over the next several years as we launch our integrated therapeutic and companion diagnostic strategy and expand our infrastructure, commercial operations and research and development activities, and to take advantage of financing or other opportunities that we believe to be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. Additional capital may be raised through the sale of common or preferred equity or convertible debt securities, entry into debt facilities or other third-party funding arrangements. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders and those securities may have rights senior to those of our common shares. Agreements entered into in connection with such capital raising activities could contain covenants that would restrict our operations or require us to relinquish certain rights. Additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.
