1. Organization and Business

Organization

Mosaic ImmunoEngineering, Inc. (the “Company,” “Mosaic,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a corporation organized under Delaware law on March 24, 1992. We are a development-stage biotechnology company focused on advancing and eventually commercializing immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer. We have historically advanced early-stage product candidate and we are pursuing new product candidates and platforms to expand our pipeline based on a deep understanding of immunotherapies and our license agreements with University of California San Diego.

The Company has two inactive wholly owned subsidiaries: Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Development Company, a corporation organized under Delaware law on March 30, 2020 and Patriot Data Solutions Group, Inc.

Going Concern and Management’s Plans

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5,736 and has not yet generated any revenues. Therefore, our ability to continue our operations is highly dependent on our ability to raise capital to fund future operations. We anticipate, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions, that our cash and cash equivalents on hand will not satisfy our operational and capital requirements through twelve months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

There are a number of uncertainties associated with our ability to raise additional capital and we have no current arrangements with respect to any additional financing. In addition, the continuation of disruptions caused by COVID-19 or other variants or pandemics, broad-based inflation, and various economic indicators that the United States economy may be entering a recession in upcoming quarters may cause investors to slow down or delay their decision to deploy capital which will adversely impact our ability to fund future operations. Consequently, there can be no assurance that any additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, will be available when needed. The inability to obtain additional capital will delay our ability to conduct our business operations. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing stockholders. The above matters raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented.

**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, 2024, as compared to the significant accounting policies 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, 2023.

**Recently Adopted Accounting Standards **

Other than described below, there have been no additional accounting pronouncements adopted by the Company or new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in Note 2 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, that the Company believes are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt —Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The guidance simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments, eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments, and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. It also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity and amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. The guidance is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2024, which had no impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

**3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments **

Under this authoritative guidance, we are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. We determine fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment or valuations by third-party professionals. The three levels of inputs that we may use to measure fair value are:

The carrying amount of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their estimated fair values primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments or based on information obtained from market sources and management estimates. Convertible notes were initially recorded at their amortized cost and are being accreted to their redemption value over the estimated conversion period (Note 7).

4. Investment in Affiliated Companies

Holocom, Inc.

In February 2007, we invested an aggregate of $370,000 in Holocom in exchange for 2,100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which represented an approximate 46% ownership interest in Holocom, on an as-converted basis. Pursuant to the articles of incorporation of Holocom, the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at our option into shares of Holocom’s common stock on a one-to-one basis or is redeemable at any time after May 31, 2007 at a redemption price equal to $0.40 per share or $840,000 in aggregate, provided Holocom has sufficient funding to redeem our shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

On July 6, 2022, we entered into the Redemption Agreement with Holocom, pursuant to which we requested full redemption of our Series A Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Redemption Agreement, we received cash proceeds in the amount of $336,000 upon the redemption of 840,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in July 2022 with the remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock were to be redeemed over a period of thirty (30) months beginning August 1, 2022 based on the following redemption schedule:

We recognized the initial and monthly redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock using a cash basis of accounting rather than an accrual method as we were unable to assert that collection of amounts due under the redemption agreement was probable, regardless of the terms of the Redemption Agreement. Any amounts not paid within fifteen (15) days of its respective due date accrued interest at a rate of 8% per annum until fully paid and retroactively adjusted to 12% per annum from its original due date for amounts not paid within 90 days of its original due date. On June 21, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Redemption Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) to redeem the remaining 910,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding in exchange for a lump sum payment of $300,000 (in lieu of monthly payments), representing a redemption price of approximately $0.33 per share.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received aggregate proceeds of $433,000 in exchange for 1,242,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, we redeemed in aggregate,2,100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in exchange for aggregate net proceeds received by us of $776,000. As of September 30, 2023, Holocom had no further obligations to us under the Redemption Agreement or any other arrangement.

**5. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities **

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following:

In September 2008, we acquired Patriot Data Solutions Group, Inc. formerly known as Crossflo Systems, Inc. (“PDSG”). In connection with the acquisition of Crossflo, we have accrued $177,244 that could be payable to Crossflo investors.

6. License Agreements

License Option Agreement and License Agreement with CWRU

On July 1, 2020, we signed a License Option Agreement with CWRU, granting the Company the exclusive right to license certain technology covering an immunotherapy platform technology to treat and prevent cancer in humans and for veterinary use, including MIE-101, our lead clinical candidate. Under the License Option Agreement, CWRU granted us the exclusive option for a period of two (2) years to negotiate and enter into a license agreement with CWRU, provided that we meet certain diligence milestones.

Under the License Option Agreement, we issued CWRU 70,000 shares of Class B Common Stock at the fair market value of $7 on the date of issuance. On August 21, 2020, the Class B Common Stock was exchanged for shares of Series B Preferred.

On May 4, 2022, we exercised our rights under the License Option Agreement and entered into a license agreement with CWRU (“License Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, we agreed to pay CWRU for each licensed product used in human applications (i) development milestones of up to $1.8 million in aggregate dependent upon the progress of clinical trials, regulatory approvals, and initiation of product launch, (ii) tiered royalty on net sales beginning in the mid-single digits, (iii) annual minimum royalty of $10,000 beginning on the second anniversary date of the Agreement with the minimum amount rising based on net sales of the licensed product, and (iv) a declining percentage of all non-royalty sublicensing income based on the escalating stage of development upon a sublicensing event, if applicable. In addition, we agreed to pay CWRU for each licensed product used in veterinarian applications (i) a tiered royalty on net sales beginning in the low single digits and (ii) a declining percentage of all non-royalty sublicensing income based on the escalating stage of development upon a sublicensing event, if applicable.

In addition, we were responsible for the reimbursement of all past, current and future patent fees incurred by CWRU under the License Agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred $0 and $31,737, respectively, in patent legal fees associated with the License Agreement, which amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Furthermore, we agreed to reimburse CWRU for all intellectual property fees incurred since inception of the portfolio through the date of the License Agreement in the amount of approximately $303,000 (included in Accrued expenses and other in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets) in four (4) equal quarterly installments beginning upon the sooner of (i) August 31, 2022 or (ii) upon the Company closing a financing in the amount of $5 million or more. Due to our limited cash position, as of December 31, 2023, we had not paid any amounts owed to CWRU and we continued to seek additional time to raise sufficient capital in order to pay amounts due to CWRU. On March 22, 2024, we received a notice of termination from CWRU to terminate the License Agreement effective on the notice date. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we have accrued $406,973 in accrued patent fees under the License Agreement.

License Agreements with University of California San Diego (“UC San Diego”)

During July 2021, we licensed the exclusive rights from UC San Diego to develop and commercialize technology that involves the loading of immuno-stimulatory molecules into plant virus protein nanoparticles. These plant virus protein nanoparticles can be loaded with other TLR agonists to further tailor specific immune response parameters. Under the licensing agreement, we are obligated to pay (i) a nominal upfront license access fee, (ii) all patent costs incurred prior to the effective date of the license agreement, (iii) annual license maintenance fees beginning on the second anniversary date of the agreement, (iv) aggregate future milestone payments based on potential clinical development and regulatory milestones of up to $165,000 through Phase III development plus additional milestones upon regulatory approval in the U.S. and other countries, (v) potential sales milestones upon achieving certain sales levels, and (vi) a low single digit royalty on net sales and/or a percentage of sublicense income.

During September 2021, we licensed the exclusive rights to develop and commercialize several novel vaccine candidates, including SARS-CoV-2 and other infectious disease applications from UC San Diego. Under the licensing agreement, we are obligated to pay (i) a nominal upfront license access fee, (ii) all patent costs incurred prior to the effective date of the license agreement, (iii) annual license maintenance fees beginning on the second anniversary date of the agreement, (iv) aggregate future milestone payments based on potential clinical development and regulatory milestones of up to $1,250,000 through Phase III development plus additional milestones upon regulatory approval in the U.S. and other countries, and (v) a low single digit royalty on net sales and/or a percentage of sublicense income. On July 12, 2023, we provided notice to UC San Diego to terminate the September 2021 license agreement based on our evaluation of our licensed technology portfolio.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred $7,000 and $6,200, respectively, in intellectual property costs associated with the license agreements with UC San Diego, which amount is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we have accrued $40,900 and $23,900, respectively, in accrued expenses under the license agreements with UC San Diego.

7. Convertible Notes

On May 7, 2021, we entered into a convertible note purchase agreement (“May Note Agreement”) with five (5) accredited investors, including three (3) members of our Board of Directors (“Board”) that participated on the same terms as other accredited investors. Pursuant to the Note Agreement, we received $525,003 in proceeds in addition to $49,997 in accrued payable to founder that was invested in convertible notes and the Company issued unsecured convertible promissory notes (“May Convertible Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $575,000.

On February 18, 2022, we entered into additional convertible note purchase agreements (“February Note Agreement”) with sixteen (16) accredited investors, including five (5) members of our Board that participated on the same terms as other accredited investors. Pursuant to the February Note Agreement, we received $341,632 in proceeds and issued unsecured convertible promissory notes (“February Convertible Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $341,632. The February Convertible Notes were issued as part of a convertible note offering authorized by the Company’s Board (the “Convertible Notes Offering”) for raising up to $5 million from the issuance of convertible notes through June 30, 2022.

The May and February Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”) have no stated maturity date; bear interest at a simple rate equal to eight percent (8.0%) per annum until converted; and automatically convert into the same equity securities issued for cash in the Qualified Financing (as described below), or at the option of the holder, into the same equity securities issued for cash in a Smaller Financing (as described below). Interest on the Convertible Notes is accreted and added to the unpaid principal balance prior to conversion of the Convertible Notes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded non-cash interest expense on the Convertible Notes in the amount of $18,483 and $55,049, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded non-cash interest expense on the Convertible Notes in the amount of $18,484 and $54,849, respectively.

The Convertible Notes will convert into the same equity securities offered in the Qualified Financing or Smaller Financing (“Conversion Shares”), as described below, at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) the product equal to 80% times the lowest per unit purchase price of the equity securities issued for cash in the Qualified Financing or Smaller Financing, or (ii) $2.377 for the May Convertible Notes (“May Conversion Price”) or $1.00 for the February Convertible Notes (“February Conversion Price”). Pursuant to the February Note Agreement, for each holder of the May Convertible Notes that purchased a February Convertible Note in the amount of (a) $50,000 or (b) an amount equivalent to the principal amount of their May Convertible Note, the conversion price of the May Convertible Notes was adjusted to the February Conversion Price. As of September 30, 2024, the principal amount of the Convertible Notes that may be converted at the February Conversion Price was $866,632. In addition, the conversion price may be reduced or increased proportionately as a result of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, and similar transactions. Upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes in connection with a Qualified Financing or a Smaller Financing, as applicable, the Convertible Notes shall convert immediately prior to the closing thereof, such that the investors paying cash in such Qualified Financing or Smaller Financing, as applicable, are not diluted by the conversion of the Convertible Notes.

Pursuant to the Convertible Notes, a Qualified Financing represents a single transaction or series of transactions whereby the Company receives aggregate gross proceeds of at least $5 million from the sale of equity securities following the issuance date (excluding proceeds from the issuance of any future convertible notes). A Smaller Financing represents any sale of equity securities whereby the aggregate gross proceeds are less than $5 million (excluding proceeds from the issuance of any future convertible notes).

In addition, in the event of a corporate transaction covering the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or merger or consolidation with or into another entity, or change in ownership of at least 50% in voting securities of the Company, the holder of the Convertible Note may elect that either: (a) the Company pay the holder of such Convertible Note an amount equal to the sum of (i) all accrued and unpaid interest due on such Convertible Note and (ii) one and one-half (1.5) times the outstanding principal balance of such Convertible Note; or (b) such Convertible Note will convert into that number of conversion shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest of such Convertible Note on the date of conversion by (ii) the May or February Conversion Price, as applicable. In connection with the potential transaction with Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. (see Note 11), we received a one-time waiver from the convertible noteholders representing approximately 96% of the principal balance of the Convertible Notes, that no payments of principal and interest would be due under the proposed transaction with Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc.

Pursuant to ASC Topic 835-30, “Imputation of Interest”, the Convertible Notes were initially recorded at their amortized cost of $916,632 and were being accreted to their redemption value of $1,145,790 (“Redemption Value”) over the estimated conversion period using the effective interest method. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $0 and $1,446, respectively, in accretion to redemption value on the Convertible Notes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $2,907 and $14,380, respectively, in accretion to redemption value on the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes have been accreted to their full Redemption Value as of March 31, 2024.

8. Stockholders’ Equity and Share-Based Compensation

Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

The Company’s authorized capital consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Preferred Stock”). We designated 630,000 shares of Series A Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) and designated and issued 70,000 shares of Series B Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”). As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there areno shares of Series A Preferred outstanding and 70,000 shares of Series B Preferred outstanding.

Series B Preferred

On August 21, 2020, the Company issued 70,000 shares of Series B Preferred (classified as permanent equity), in exchange for 70,000 shares of Class B Common Stock in connection with the reverse merger in August 2020. Each share of Series B Preferred has a par value of $0.00001 per share, no dividend rate, a stated value of $6.50 per share, and each share of Series B Preferred initially converts into 11.46837 shares of common stock of the Company (“Series B Conversion Number”). In addition, the Series B Preferred possesses full voting rights, on an as-converted basis, as the common stock of the Company, as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation. Furthermore, the Series B Preferred does not have any mandatory conversion rights and only converts upon written notice from the holder.

The Series B Preferred also includes certain anti-dilution rights (“anti-dilution issuance rights”), whereby the holder of Series B Preferred will continue to maintain ownership equal to 10% of the fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding, including for such purposes all other convertible securities outstanding and reserved for issuance except equity awards issued and outstanding and reserved for issuance under a board approved equity compensation plan reserving for issuance no more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding common stock of the Company then outstanding, until the Capital Threshold is met. The anti-dilution issuance rights meet the definition of a derivative instrument under FASB’s ASC Topic 815. As of December 31, 2023, the $1 million dollar Capital Threshold was achieved and therefore, there is no remaining derivative liability.

In the event of any Liquidation Event, the Holders of Series B Preferred shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of common stock, an amount per share in cash equal to the greater of (x) the stated value of $6.50 for each share of Series B Preferred then held by the holder or (y) the amount payable per share of common stock which such holder of Series B Preferred would have received if such Holder had converted to common stock immediately prior to the Liquidation Event.

Share-Based Compensation

2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan

On October 21, 2020, we adopted our 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) and on October 22, 2020, the 2020 Plan was approved by our stockholders. The 2020 Plan was adopted to promote our long-term success and the creation of stockholder value by motivating participants, through equity incentive awards, to achieve long-term success in our business. The 2020 Plan permits the discretionary award of stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, and other equity awards to selected participants. On October 21, 2021, the first anniversary date from the adoption date of the 2020 Plan, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan increased to 20% of the fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding, including shares of common stock reserved for issuance under convertible securities. As of September 30, 2024, we have reserved 1,661,966 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2020 Plan, of which 536,600 were subject to outstanding RSUs and 1,111,322 shares were available for future grants of share-based awards.

The cost of all share-based awards will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on the fair value of the awards. The fair value of stock option awards will be determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model on the date of grant. The fair value of restricted stock awards and RSUs will be equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The Company will generally recognize share-based compensation expense over the period of vesting or period that services will be provided for all time-based awards. Share-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was comprised of the following:

The following summarizes our transaction activity related to RSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024:

As of September 30, 2024, there wasno unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs. As of September 30, 2024,14,044 RSUs have vested under the 2020 Plan since its adoption.

**9. Commitments and Contingencies **

Legal Matters

While the Company is not involved in any litigation as of September 30, 2024, the Company may be involved in various lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to intellectual property, employment, and contractual matters. Any litigation could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flows in the period in which the unfavorable outcome occurs or becomes probable, and potentially in future periods.

Indemnification

We have made certain guarantees and indemnities, under which we may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party. We indemnify our directors, officers, employees, and agents to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies, and in many cases is indefinite. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. Historically, we have not been obligated to make any payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these guarantees and indemnities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Escrow Shares

On August 31, 2009, we gave notice to the former shareholders of Crossflo and Union Bank of California (the “Escrow Agent”) under Section 2.5 of the Agreement and Plan of Merger between us and Crossflo (the “Agreement”), outlining damages incurred by us in conjunction with the acquisition of Crossflo, and seeking the return of 5,690 shares of our common stock held by the Escrow Agent. Subsequently, former shareholders of Crossflo, representing a majority of the escrowed shares responded in protest to our claim, delaying the release of the escrowed shares until a formal resolution is reached. In the event we fail to prevail in our claim against the escrowed shares, we may be obligated to deposit into escrow approximately $256,000 of cash consideration due to the decline in our average stock price over the one-year escrow period calculated in accordance with the agreement. We have evaluated the potential for loss regarding our claim and believe that it is probable that the resolution of this issue will not result in a material obligation to the Company, although there is no assurance of this. Accordingly, we have not recorded any liability for this matter.

Operating Lease

We have no lease obligations as of September 30, 2024 and there wasno rent expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Employees are working from home offices at no cost to the Company.

10. Related Parties

During April 2021, we entered into consulting agreements (retroactive to September 1, 2020) with Nicole Steinmetz, Ph.D., former acting Chief Scientific Officer and former member of the Board of Directors, Jonathan Pokorski, Ph.D. (Dr. Steinmetz’s spouse), and Steve Fiering, Ph.D., each a co-founder of the company acquired in the reverse merger and greater than 5% shareholder of the Company (“Related Parties”), for their scientific contributions towards advancing the technology platforms. On May 2, 2023, Dr. Steinmetz resigned from the Board of Directors and her role as acting Chief Scientific Officer under her consulting agreement.

On July 23, 2024, Mr. Carlton Johnson, a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) resigned from the Board effective immediately. In connection with his resignation from the Board, Mr. Johnson also resigned from all committees of the Board of Directors on which he served, including the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee of the Board. Mr. Johnson’s resignation is not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we did not incur any related party consulting expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred related party consulting expenses for Dr. Steinmetz, Dr. Pokorski, and Dr. Fiering in the aggregate amount of $20,000, $10,000 and $22,500, respectively. All related party consulting expenses are included in research and development expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Pursuant to the consulting agreements, Dr. Steinmetz, Dr. Pokorski, and Dr. Fiering are initially paid 15% of their monthly amounts up and until the Company is able to raise at least $4 million in new funding. In exchange for the deferral of consulting payments, the Company agreed to grant each of the Related Parties RSU’s with a fair market value equal to 20% of their deferred cash compensation as of the closing date of the financing (the “20% Deferral”). The number of RSU’s to be granted will be calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the closing date of the financing and will vest one-year from the date of grant. There was no share-based compensation expense recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 pertaining to the 20% Deferral as the terms are unknown and are based on a future performance trigger. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we have accrued $264,375 in accrued consulting fees provided by the Related Parties, which amounts are included in accrued consulting in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On May 7, 2021, we entered into convertible note purchase agreements with five (5) accredited investors, including three (3) then members of our Board of Directors that participated on the same terms as other accredited investors, in the aggregate principal amount of $575,000. Of such amount, the three then members of our Board of Directors invested $225,000 in aggregate (see Note 7).

On February 18, 2022, we entered into convertible note purchase agreements with sixteen (16) accredited investors, including five (5) members of our Board that participated on the same terms as other accredited investors, in the aggregate principal amount of $341,632. Of such amount, the five then members of our Board invested $155,000 in aggregate (see Note 7).

On April 26, 2024, we entered into a binding term sheet (“Binding Term Sheet”) with Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. (“Oncotelic”), which was unanimously approved by our Board of Directors. Under the terms of the Binding Term Sheet, we plan to achieve certain goals of acquiring new technologies and short-term funding so that we can establish our pipeline, pending the completion of due diligence and other criteria pursuant to the terms of the Binding Term Sheet. Mr. Steven King, our president and CEO is a shareholder and member of the board of directors of Oncotelic with less than 1% ownership of total shares outstanding of Oncotelic, and a paid advisor of Oncotelic (see Note 11).

11. Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. (“Oncotelic”)

In an effort to establish a new product pipeline, on April 26, 2024, we entered into a Binding Term Sheet with Oncotelic pursuant to which we intend to acquire (i) certain rights to Oncotelic’s clinical stage necroptosis cancer therapies associated with its vascular disruptive agents (“VDAs”) and related regulatory and clinical packages, and (ii) non-exclusive access to its proprietary Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) technologies for identifying immunotherapy combinations, in exchange for the issuance of shares of our common stock valued at $15.0 million upon execution of the definitive agreement (representing 47,923,322 shares of our common stock), or a combination of common stock and preferred stock to be determined by the parties, along with additional milestones allowing Oncotelic to earn up to an additional $15.0 million in shares of common stock that would be valued at the time of issuance, if earned. Pursuant to the Binding Term Sheet, we and Oncotelic agreed to negotiate in good faith towards the execution of a definitive agreement and the closing of the transaction by December 31, 2024, as amended, which is subject to customary due diligence and other conditions, including us obtaining shareholder approval for the transaction and receiving waivers from our holders of Convertible Notes representing at least 90% of the principal amount outstanding from any payment that would become due and payable upon a corporate transaction as contemplated under the Binding Term Sheet (see Note 7).

In addition, under the Binding Term Sheet, (i) we will continue the development work necessary to achieve the mutually agreed upon milestones upon the requisite funding, (ii) Oncotelic will provide a loan to us to cover certain operational costs of the Company through June 1, 2024, (iii) Oncotelic will assist the Company in potentially raising initial funding to support the technologies of $2 million, and (iv) in the event the Company is unable to raise the requisite funding, then the transaction may proceed to a reverse acquisition/merger, with conditions typical of such a transaction.

If we enter into a definitive agreement under the terms of the Binding Term Sheet, our present stockholders will experience immediate substantial dilution and will not have control of our majority voting securities. In addition, if we do not receive shareholder approval for a possible transaction by December 31, 2024, as amended, we may not be able to enter into a definitive agreement with Oncotelic, and we may need to cease our operations altogether. Currently, we and Oncotelic are continuing to pursue a potential transaction under the Binding Term Sheet although there are no guarantees we will enter into any definitive agreement. On August 9, 2024, the expiration date to enter into a possible transaction with Oncotelic was extended from July 25, 2024 to December 31, 2024.

On May 8, 2024, we entered into a convertible note purchase agreement with Oncotelic for up to $70,000 in funding and we received initial loan proceeds from Oncotelic of $40,000 to pay certain expenses of the Company in exchange for an unsecured convertible note (“Note”) pursuant to the Binding Term Sheet. The Note bears interest at a rate of 16% per annum and is due and payable upon closing a financing of at least $2.0 million or converted into additional shares of common stock of Mosaic, at the sole discretion of Oncotelic. The number of shares of common stock to be issued, if elected, would be equal to the entire unpaid principal amount of such Note and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon divided by the closing price of our common stock on the date that is one day prior to such election. On May 31, 2024 and July 1, 2024, we received an additional $15,000 and $15,000, respectively, in loan proceeds. As of September 30, 2024, we have received $70,000 in loan proceeds and accrued $3,950 in accrued interest related to the notes payable with Oncotelic, which amounts are included in loan payable in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On July 1, 2024, we entered into a Master Services Agreement with Oncotelic whereby we perform advisory and related services in connection with studies and projects. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we earned $21,000 for advisory and related services which is recorded in other income in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2024, $7,000 of services billed are included in prepaid and other assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

12. Subsequent Events

On November 18, 2024, we entered into a convertible note purchase agreement (“Note Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor (“Investor”) for proceeds of up to $200,000 to be used for general corporate purposes. Upon funding, the Company will issue an unsecured convertible note that will bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum and will be due and payable upon closing a financing of at least $10.0 million or convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, at the sole discretion of the accredited investor. The number of shares of common stock to be issued, if converted, would be equal to the unpaid principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest thereon divided by the closing price of our common stock on the date that is one day prior to such election.

We have evaluated subsequent events after the consolidated balance sheet date and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report, and based on our evaluation, management has determined that no other subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes thereto other than as disclosed herein and in the accompanying notes.
