Note 1: Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

vTv Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company,” the “Registrant,” “we” or “us”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in April 2015. The Company is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing oral, small molecule drug candidates intended to help treat people living with diabetes and other chronic diseases. The Company’s clinical pipeline is led bycadisegliatin, currently in a Phase 3 trial, a potential first-in-class oral liver-selective glucokinase activator being investigated as an adjunctive therapy to insulin for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. The Company and its development partners are investigating multiple molecules across different indications for chronic diseases.

Principles of Consolidation

vTv Therapeutics Inc. is a holding company, and its principal asset is a controlling equity interest in vTv Therapeutics LLC (“vTv LLC”), the Company’s principal operating subsidiary.

The Company has determined that vTv LLC is a variable-interest entity (“VIE”) for accounting purposes and that vTv Therapeutics Inc. is the primary beneficiary of vTv LLC because (through its managing member interest in vTv LLC and the fact that the senior management of vTv Therapeutics Inc. is also the senior management of vTv LLC) it has the power and benefits to direct all of the activities of vTv LLC, which include those that most significantly impact vTv LLC’s economic performance. vTv Therapeutics Inc. has therefore consolidated vTv LLC’s results pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, “Consolidation” in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The assets and liabilities of vTv LLC represent substantially all of the Company’s consolidated assets and liabilities with the exception of the Warrants and $96.1 million of cash and cash equivalents.

Various holders own non-voting interests in vTv LLC, representing a de minimis amount of economic interest. Effectively, vTv Therapeutics Inc.’s interest is approximately 100.0% of vTv LLC’s economic results. vTv Therapeutics Inc. has provided financial and other support to vTv LLC in the form of its purchase of vTv Units with the net proceeds of the Company’s various debt and equity transactions in prior years and equity purchase agreements with various parties. v Tv Therapeutics Inc. will not be required to provide financial or other support for vTv LLC. However, vTv Therapeutics Inc. will control its business and other activities through its managing member interest in vTv LLC, and its management is the management of vTv LLC. Nevertheless, because vTv Therapeutics Inc. will have no material assets other than its interests in vTv LLC, any financial difficulties at vTv LLC could result in vTv Therapeutics Inc. recognizing a loss.

Liquidity

To date, the Company has not generated any product revenue and has not achieved profitable operations. The continuing development of our drug candidates will require additional financing. From its inception through September 30, 2025, the Company has funded its operations primarily through a combination of private placements of common and preferred equity, research collaboration agreements, upfront and milestone payments for license agreements, debt and equity financings and the completion of its IPO in August 2015. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $319.6 million and has generated net losses in each year of its existence. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s liquidity sources included cash and cash equivalents of $98.5 million. We are evaluating several financing strategies to increase our cash reserves, including direct equity investments and the potential licensing and monetization of other clinical development programs.

On August 29, 2025, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional accredited investors (the “Private Placement Investors”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell 5,243,732 units (the “Units”) to the Private Placement Investors in a private placement (the “Private Placement”). Each Unit includes (i) either (A) one share (the “Shares”) of our Class A common stock at purchase price of $15.265 per share, (the “Common Stock”), or (B) a Pre-Funded Warrant (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) at a purchase price of $15.255 per share (representing per Private Placement Share purchase price less the exercise price of $0.01) and (ii) a warrant (the “Common Warrants”) to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) (or a Pre-Funded warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock in lieu of a share of Common Stock (the “Replacement Warrants” and,together with the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Common Warrants, the “Warrants”).

We received aggregate gross proceeds from the Private Placement of approximately $80.0 million, before deducting offering costs payable by us.

The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable for $0.01, at any time after their original issuance and will not expire. The common warrants are exercisable for (x) $22.71, if exercised for a Share, or (y) $22.70 if exercised for a Pre-Funded Warrant, after the original issuance through the termination date. The Common Warrants will expire upon the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the Warrants and (ii)90 days following the announcement of positive top-line data from the Company’s ongoing CATT1 clinical trial.

On February 28, 2024, we entered into the TD Cowen Sales Agreement, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, through or to TD Cowen, as sales agent or principal, shares of our Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million (the “TD Cowen ATM Offering”). Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities registered on the registration statement relating to the TD Cowen ATM Offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of our public float in any 12-month period so long as our public float remains below $75.0 million. Under the terms of the TD Cowen Sales Agreement, we will pay TD Cowen a commission of 3.0% of the aggregate proceeds from the sale of shares and reimburse certain legal fees or other disbursements. On September 17, 2024, the Company sold 179,400 shares of Class A common stock under the TD Cowen ATM Offering for net proceeds of $2.5 million.

As of the issuance date of the Company’s June 30, 2025 Form 10-Q, the Company disclosed, as required under applicable accounting standards, that substantial doubt existed surrounding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the issuance date of the June 30, 2025, condensed consolidated financial statements. Based on the cash and cash equivalents currently available to the Company as discussed above, the Company has concluded there is no longer substantial doubt regarding the ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the issuance of the September 30, 2025 Form 10-Q.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest and Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 are unaudited. These unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2024, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2025, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024. The December 31, 2024, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures or notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the financial statements related to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 are unaudited. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for an entire year.

The Company does not have any components of other comprehensive income recorded within its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and, therefore, does not separately present a statement of comprehensive income in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the grant date fair value of equity awards, the fair value of warrants to purchase shares of its Class A common stock, the useful lives of property and equipment, among others. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities.

There has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets due to a number of factors, including geopolitical instability, inflationary pressures, high interest rates, a recessionary environment, domestic and global monetary and fiscal policy, changes in trade policy, including tariffs or other trade restrictions or the threat of such actions, banking and other financial institution instability and other factors. Our business may also be impacted by changes or disruptions at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and other government agencies. The Company has taken into consideration any known impacts to its accounting estimates to date and is not aware of any additional specific events or circumstances that would require any additional updates to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to those disclosed in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Income Taxes: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09: “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). The ASU is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in the ASU address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for us in the annual period beginning January 1, 2025, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the presentational effect that ASU 2023-09 will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures, and we expect considerable changes to our income tax disclosures.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses: In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03,“Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.”This guidance requires disclosures about significant expense categories, including but not limited to, inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and selling expenses. This amendment is effective for our annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures.

Note 3: Collaboration Agreements

Newsoara License Agreement

The Company is party to a license agreement with Newsoara Biopharma Co., Ltd., (“Newsoara”) (the “Newsoara License Agreement”) under which Newsoara obtained an exclusive and sublicensable license to develop and commercialize the Company’s phosphodiesterase type 4 inhibitors (“PDE4”) program, including the compound HPP737, in China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and other pacific rim countries (collectively, the “Newsoara License Territory”). Additionally, under the Newsoara License Agreement, the Company obtained a non-exclusive, sublicensable, royalty-free license to develop and commercialize certain Newsoara patent rights and know-how related to the Company’s PDE4 program for therapeutic uses in humans outside of the Newsoara License Territory.

The Newsoara License Agreement was amended in 2020 to change certain future milestone payments and patent rights (the “First Newsoara Amendment”). On June 26, 2024, the Company entered into the second amendment to the Newsoara License Agreement (the “Second Newsoara Amendment”); that amendment is now null and void as of June 26, 2025.

The Company has fully allocated the transaction price to the license and the technology transfer services which represents a single performance obligation because they were not capable of being distinct on their own. The Company recognized revenue for this performance obligation using the straight-line method over the transfer service period. In the first quarter of 2024, the transaction price for this performance obligation was increased by $1.0 million due to the satisfaction of a development milestone under the Newsoara License Agreement. This amount was fully recognized as revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as the related performance obligation was fully satisfied. No revenue related to this performance obligation was recognized and there were no changes to the transaction price during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Note 4: Share-Based Compensation

The Company has issued non-qualified stock option awards to management, other key employees, consultants, and non-employee directors and these options ratably vest over afour-year service period. In addition, we issued options in connection with the private placement on February 27, 2024, that vest ratably over athree-year period. The option awards expire after a term often years from the date of grant. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for its outstanding stock option awards of approximately $6.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 was $15.00 and $14.85 per option, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of the in-the-money awards outstanding at September 30, 2025, was de minimis.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the stock option awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

Note 5: Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. If a specific contingent liability is determined to be probable and can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues and discloses the amount. The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.

Novo Nordisk

In February 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement (the “Novo License Agreement”) Concerning Glucokinase Activator Project with Novo Nordisk A/S (the “Novo Nordisk”) whereby the Company obtained an exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable license under certain Novo Nordisk intellectual property rights to discover, develop, manufacture, have manufactured, use and commercialize products for the prevention, treatment, control, mitigation or palliation of human or animal diseases or conditions. As part of this license grant, the Company obtained certain worldwide rights to Novo Nordisk’s GKA program, including rights to preclinical and clinical compounds such as cadisegliatin. This agreement was amended in May 2019 to create milestone payments applicable to certain specific and non-specific areas of therapeutic use. Under the terms of the amended Novo License Agreement, the Company has potential developmental and regulatory milestone payment obligations totaling up to $7.0 million for approval of a product for the treatment of type 1 diabetes, $50.5 million for approval of a product for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, or $115.0 million for approval of a product in any other indication. The Company may also be obligated to pay an additional $75.0 million in potential sales-based milestones, as well as royalty payments, at mid-single digit royalty rates, based on tiered sales of commercialized licensed products. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded an accrual of $1.0 million for the milestone associated with the initiation of a phase 3 clinical trial under this agreement. As of September 30, 2025, the Company does not have any commercialized licensed products.

Note 6: Noncontrolling Interest

The Company is subject to the Exchange Agreement with respect to the vTv Units representing a de minimis noncontrolling interest in vTv LLC outstanding as of September 30, 2025 (see Note 8). The Exchange Agreement requires the surrender of an equal number of vTv Units and Class B common stock for (i) shares of Class A common stock on aone-for-one basis or (ii) cash (based on the fair market value of the Class A common stock as determined pursuant to the Exchange Agreement), at the Company’s option (as the managing member of vTv LLC), subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications. The exchange value is determined based on a 20-day volume weighted average price of the Class A common stock as defined in the Exchange Agreement, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications.

On February 27, 2024, in connection with the Private Placement financing, the Investor Rights Agreement altered M&F TTP Holdings Two LLC (“M&F”) governance rights such that directors designated by M&F no longer comprised a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors (see Note 8). The redeemable noncontrolling interest redemption feature to exchange vTv Units for cash rather than shares of Class A common stock is a contingent event that is now within control of the Company through the Company’s independent Board of Directors. As a result, $5.3 million representing the fair value of redeemable noncontrolling interest on February 27, 2024, was reclassified from temporary equity in the mezzanine section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to noncontrolling interest as a component of permanent equity.

Prior to February 27, 2024, the Company recorded redeemable noncontrolling interest at the higher of (1) its initial fair value plus accumulated earnings/losses associated with the noncontrolling interest or (2) the redemption value as of the balance sheet date.

Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in vTv LLC while the Company retains its controlling interest in vTv LLC are accounted for as equity transactions, and the Company is required to adjust noncontrolling interest and equity for such changes. The following is a summary of net income attributable to vTv Therapeutics Inc. and transfers to noncontrolling interest:

For the Three Months Ended September 30,For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
2025202420252024
Net loss attributable to vTv Therapeutics Inc. common shareholders$(8,698)$(4,783)$(19,836)$(14,828)
(Decrease)/Increase in vTv Therapeutics Inc. stockholders’ equity for sale of vTv Units as a result of common stock issuances(1,988)(1,972)(55)7,592
Change from net loss attributable to vTv Therapeutics Inc. common shareholders and transfers to noncontrolling interest$(10,686)$(6,755)$(19,891)$(7,236)

Note 7: Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation

On November 20, 2023, the Company filed an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as amended, to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-40 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, every 40 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock was combined into one issued and outstanding share of Class A Common Stock and every 40 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock was combined into one issued and outstanding share of Class B Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split did not reduce the number of authorized shares of Class A and Class B common stock, which remained at 200,000,000 and 100,000,000 respectively and did not change the par value of the common stock, which remained at $0.01 per share. The Reverse Stock Split did not have any effect on the number of authorized shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share, which remained at 50,000,000 shares. Currently no shares of preferred stock are outstanding.

Common Stock and Pre-funded Warrants

In August 2025, the Company entered intoa securities purchase agreement with certain Private Placement Investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell 5,243,732 Units to the Private Placement Investors in a private placement. Each unit is comprised of one share of Class A common stock for an aggregate of 682,018 shares, at a purchase price of $15.265 per share and Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,561,714 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of$15.255 per Pre-Funded Warrant. Additionally, each unit has an accompanying Common Warrant to purchase an aggregate of 5,243,732 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercisable, have an exercise price of$0.01 and may be exercised at any time after the date of issuance. The Common Warrants are exercisable for (x) $22.71, if exercised for a Share, or (y) $22.70 if exercised for a Pre-Funded Warrant, after the original issuance through the termination date.

In February 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain Private Placement Investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Private Placement Investors in a private placement (i) an aggregate of 464,377 shares of our Class A common stock, at a purchase price of $11.81 per share and (ii)issued pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,853,997 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of$11.80 per pre-funded warrant. The pre-funded warrants were immediately exercisable, have an exercise price of$0.01 and may be exercised at any time after the date of issuance. On March 5, 2024, the Company entered into a letter agreement with the Private Placement Investors pursuant to which the Private Placement Investors agreed to exchange an aggregate of 116,493 Private Placement Shares for an aggregate of 116,590 Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrants.

A holder of Pre-Funded Warrants may not exercise the warrant if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% or 9.99%, depending on the holder, of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. A holder of the Pre-Funded Warrants may increase or decrease this percentage not in excess of 19.99% by providing at least 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.

Equity-Based Stock Warrants

The following table summarizes the equity-based stock warrant activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

SharesWeighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding at December 31, 20243,970,5870.01
Granted9,805,446$12.15
Exercised(61,677)0.01

Outstanding at September 30, 2025*13,714,356$8.69

*Amount includes 8,470,624 Pre-Funded Warrants and 5,243,732 Common Warrants.

The Pre-Funded and Common Warrants were classified as a component of permanent equity in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as they are freestanding financial instruments that are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its own shares and permit the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. All of the shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants have been included in the weighted-average number of shares of common stock used to calculate net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because the shares may be issued for little or no consideration, are fully vested and are exercisable after the original issuance date of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

ATM Offering

On February 28, 2024, we entered into a sales agreement (the “TD Cowen Sales Agreement”) with Cowen and Company, LLC (“TD Cowen”), pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, through or to TD Cowen, as sales agent or principal, shares of our Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million (the “TD Cowen ATM Offering”). Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities registered on the registration statement relating to the TD Cowen ATM Offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of our public float in any 12-month period so long as our public float remains below $75.0 million. Under the terms of the TD Cowen Sales Agreement, we will pay TD Cowen a commission of 3.0% of the aggregate proceeds from the sale of shares and reimburse certain legal fees or other disbursements.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company didnot sell any shares of Class A common stock under the TD Cowen ATM Offering.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold 179,400 shares of Class A common stock under the TD Cowen ATM Offering for net proceeds of $2.5 million.

Note 8: Related-Party Transactions

MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, MacAndrews converted all 577,108 outstanding shares of their Class B common stock (together with an equal number of vTv LLC units) into Class A common stock. As a result, vTv Therapeutics Inc. now owns approximately 100% of vTv LLC, as of September 30, 2025. Further, as of September 30, 2025, MacAndrews directly or indirectly holds 1,490,090 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. As a result, MacAndrews’ holdings represent approximately 37.8% of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

The Company has entered into several agreements with MacAndrews or its affiliates as further detailed below:

Letter Agreements

The Company had previously entered into the Letter Agreements with MacAndrews. Under the terms of the Letter Agreements, during the one year commitment period beginning on the date of each Letter Agreement, the Company had the right to sell to MacAndrews shares of its Class A common stock at a specified price per share, and MacAndrews had the right (exercisable up to three times) to require the Company to sell to it shares of Class A common stock at the same price. The commitment period of each of the Letter Agreements has now expired. In addition, in connection with and as a commitment fee for the entrance into certain of these Letter Agreements, the Company also issued MacAndrews warrants (the “Letter Agreement Warrants”) to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.

The Letter Agreement Warrants have been recorded as warrant liability, related party within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on their fair value. The issuance of the Letter Agreement Warrants was considered to be a cost of equity recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

Exchange Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, but subject to the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement of vTv Therapeutics LLC, the vTv Units (along with a corresponding number of shares of the Class B common stock) are exchangeable for (i) shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on aone-for-one basis or (ii) cash (based on the fair market value of the Company’s Class A common stock as determined pursuant to the Exchange Agreement), at the Company’s option (as the managing member of vTv Therapeutics LLC), subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications. Any decision to require an exchange for cash rather than shares of Class A common stock will ultimately be determined by the entire Board of Directors. On September 19, 2025, MacAndrews exchanged 577,108 shares under the provisions of the Exchange Agreement.

Tax Receivable Agreement

The Company and MacAndrews are party to a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”), which provides for the payment by the Company to M&F TTP Holdings Two LLC (“M&F”), as successor in interest to vTv Therapeutics Holdings, LLC (“vTv Therapeutics Holdings”), and M&F TTP Holdings LLC (or certain of its transferees or other assignees) of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that the Company actually realizes (or, in some circumstances, the Company is deemed to realize) as a result of (a) the exchange of Class B common stock, together with the corresponding number of vTv Units, for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (or for cash), (b) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of the Tax Receivable Agreement and (c) certain tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. MacAndrews exchanged 577,108 shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (discussed above), and the Company has not recognized any liability, nor has it made any payments pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement as of September 30, 2025.

Investor Rights Agreement

The Company is party to an investor rights agreement with M&F, as successor in interest to vTv Therapeutics Holdings (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). The Investor Rights Agreement provides M&F with certain demand, shelf, and piggyback registration rights with respect to its shares of Class A common stock and also provides M&F with certain governance rights, depending on the size of its holdings of Class A common stock. Under the Investor Rights Agreement, M&F was initially entitled to nominate a majority of the members of the Board of Directors and designate the members of the committees of the Board of Directors. The Investor Rights Agreement was amended on February 27, 2024 to alter M&F governance rights that now entitles M&F the right to designate two members of our Board of Directors, and as part of the Private Placement, the Private Placement Investors have rights to designate three members of our Board of Directors, making it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of our Board. The agreement with the Private Placement Investors also provides that five of our directors must approve certain actions including any acquisition by a third party, which makes it more difficult for our Board of Directors to approve such a transaction.

Note 9: Segment Information

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), is our President and Chief Executive Officer, Paul Sekhri. The CODM makes decisions on resource allocation, assesses performance of the business, and monitors budget versus actual results using net loss. Net loss is also a measure that is considered in monitoring budget versus actual results. The measure of the segment assets is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as total assets.

The Company manages its business activities on a consolidated basis and operates in a single reportable segment. Its operations primarily focus on the research and development of its lead product candidate, cadisegliatin, and it has not yet generated any revenue. All of the Company’s principal operations, assets, and decision-making functions are based in the U.S., and as a result, all of our financial information is derived from domestic sources except for revenue of $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which was derived from one foreign collaboration partner located in China.

Significant segment expenses are included in the table below and represent direct and indirect research and development expenses by project for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 were as follows (in thousands):

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine months ended September 30,

Total research and development expense$7,020$3,224$13,953$9,312
*Includes HPP737 and azeliragon
†Includes share-based compensation

Segment revenue is consistent with what is presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Other segment items consist of (i) operating expenses, which include share-based compensation, (ii) interest and other expense and (iii) income tax expense, all of which are reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 10: Income Taxes

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income taxes as well as state taxes. The Company’s income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $0.1 million representing foreign withholding taxes accrued in connection with revenue recorded under license agreements with a foreign entity. The Company didnot record an income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 nor the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Management has evaluated the positive and negative evidence surrounding the realization of its deferred tax assets, including the Company’s history of losses, and under the applicable accounting standards determined that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The difference between the effective tax rate of the Company and the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% on September 30, 2025, is due to the valuation allowance against the Company’s expected net operating losses.

As discussed in Note 8, the Company is party to a tax receivable agreement with a related party which provides for the payment by the Company to M&F (or certain of its transferees or other assignees) of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that the Company actually realizes (or, in some circumstances, the Company is deemed to realize) as a result of certain transactions. As no transactions have occurred which would trigger a liability under this agreement, the Company has not recognized any liability related to this agreement as of September 30, 2025.

Note 11: Net Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to vTv Therapeutics Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares. Diluted loss per share for all periods presented is the same as basic loss per share as the inclusion of potentially issuable shares would be antidilutive.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A common stock is as follows (amounts in thousands, except number of shares and per share amounts):

For the Three Months Ended September 30,For the Nine Months Ended September 30,

(1)The shares underlying the pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock have been included in the calculation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, basic and diluted, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024.

Potentially dilutive securities not included in the calculation of dilutive net loss per share are as follows:

September 30, 2025September 30, 2024
Class B common stock (1)241577,349
Common stock options granted under the Plan1,007,306691,593
Common stock warrants5,301,40575,595
Total6,308,9521,344,537
(1)Shares of Class B common stock do not share in the Company’s earnings and are not participating securities. Accordingly, separate presentation of loss per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been provided. Each share of Class B common stock (together with a corresponding vTv Unit) is exchangeable for one share of Class A common stock.

Note 12: Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, other current assets, which includes net accounts receivable and short-term deposits, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments. The following table summarizes the conclusions reached regarding fair value measurements as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

There were no transfers into or out of level 3 instruments and/or between level 1 and level 2 instruments during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Gains and losses recognized due to the change in fair value of the warrant liability, related party are recognized as a component of other expense, related party in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair value of the Letter Agreement Warrants and other Warrants were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or option pricing models based on the Company’s current capitalization. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S.

Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of valuation. Significant inputs utilized in the valuation of the Letter Agreement Warrants and other Warrants as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were:

September 30, 2025December 31, 2024
RangeWeighted AverageRangeWeighted Average
Expected volatility58.63% - 103.24%97.68%88.01% - 116.31%101.94%
Risk-free interest rate3.62% - 4.10%3.64%4.17% - 4.26%4.24%

Changes in the unobservable inputs noted above would impact the amount of the liabilities. Increases (decreases) in the estimates of the Company’s annual volatility would increase (decrease) the liability and an increase (decrease) in the annual risk-free rate would increase (decrease) the liability.

Note 13: Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through November 6, 2025, and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our disclosures or the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
