Current report
In addition, we have incurred, and may in the future incur, substantial contingent payment obligations in connection with acquisitions. In connection with the iRenix Acquisition and the Alkeus Acquisition, we agreed to make significant milestone payments upon the achievement of specified regulatory and commercial milestones, as well as tiered royalties on net sales of the acquired product candidates, as further described in Note 8 to our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. If these milestones are achieved, the related payments would require substantial cash, which would reduce our financial resources and could require us to raise additional capital or incur debt.
Current report
In addition, we have licensed certain intellectual property rights for the development and potential commercialization of our other product candidates, including IRX-101 and ALK-001, from other third parties. If we materially breach or fail to perform any provision under these license agreements, including failure to make payments to a licensor when due for royalties or milestones and/or fail to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize the licensed product candidates, such licensors may have the right to terminate our license agreement. If, for any reason, one or more of our agreements with such third parties is terminated or we otherwise loses those rights, it could harm our business.

We have one product, XDEMVY®, formerly known as TP-03, which obtained Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval for the treatment of Demodex blepharitis in the U.S. in July 2023. We have incurred net losses each year since our Company’s formation in 2016. We have funded our operations primarily from the sale and issuance of redeemable convertible preferred stock, convertible promissory notes and the sale of our common stock in our IPO, subsequent Follow-On Public Offerings, and under our 2023 ATM Prospectus, as well as proceeds from product sales, net, our China Out-License and draws from our Credit Facilities. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 our net losses were $18.6 million and $20.3 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 our net losses were $25.5 million and $45.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had accumulated deficits of $452.1 million and $426.6 million, respectively. Additionally, the net losses we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter such that a period-to-period comparison of our results of operations may not be a good indicator of our future performance. The size of potential future net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of future growth of our expenses and our ability to generate revenue. We initiated sales and marketing activities to commercialize XDEMVY in August 2023. We could potentially incur operating losses in the future until our revenue from product sales from XDEMVY and any other approved products exceeds expenses. We may never achieve profitability and, even if we do, we may not be able to sustain or increase our profitability. Our prior losses, combined with potential future losses, have had and could continue to have an adverse effect on our accumulated deficit and working capital.

Additionally, the U.S. government has made statements and taken certain actions including the imposition of tariffs, that have led to changes in U.S. and international trade policies towards China and other countries. It remains unclear what additional actions, if any, will be taken by the U.S. or other governments with respect to international trade agreements, the imposition of tariffs on goods imported into the United States, tax policy related to international commerce, or other trade matters or whether the imposition of tariffs will be upheld by courts or other governmental bodies. For example, on February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the international tariffs imposed by President Trump in 2025. In response to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, President Trump implemented a 150-day “global tariff” of 10% effective February 24, 2026, using presidential powers under the Trade Act of 1974, and upon expiration of such tariffs on July 24, 2026, President Trump announced new tariffs of 10% and 12.5% on goods from 60 trade partners of the U.S. under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. Additionally, on April 2, 2026, President Trump issued a proclamation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act (the “2026 Proclamation”) imposing additional tariffs of up to 100% ad valorem on imports of certain patented pharmaceuticals and associated pharmaceutical ingredients and, in some cases, royalty payments for in-licensed technology, with rates and effective dates varying by company status, country of origin, and onshoring or MFN pricing commitments. Based on our manufacturing practices we may be subject to these tariffs, in particular the tariffs administered by the Department of Commerce under the 2026 Proclamation. We have, however, filed an onshoring application with the U.S. Department of Commerce that, if granted, would lower the maximum ad valorem section 232 tariff applicable to our products from 100% to 20%, pursuant to the provisions under the 2026 Proclamation. We are closely monitoring changes and developments in international trade policy and assessing the potential impact of these and other trade policy changes on our business operations and financial performance and these or other trade policy changes could significantly increase our cost of goods, disrupt supply chains, or adversely affect our gross margins.

Further, the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) established a Medicare Part D inflation rebate scheme, with the first rebate period taking place in the fourth quarter of 2022 through the third quarter of 2023, and a drug price negotiation program, under which the prices for Medicare units of certain high Medicare spend drugs and biologics without generic or biosimilar competition will be capped by reference to, among other things, a specified Non-FAMP, with the first negotiated prices to take effect in 2026. It also makes several changes to the Medicare Part D benefit, including the creation of a new Manufacturer Discount Program (“MDP”) in place of the current coverage gap discount program (which began in 2025). Manufacturers may be subject to civil monetary penalties for certain violations of the negotiation and inflation rebate provisions and an excise tax during a noncompliance period under the negotiation program. Drug manufacturers may also be subject to civil monetary penalties with respect to their compliance with the new Medicare Part D manufacturer drug discount program.

We are early in our development efforts for our product candidates and indications, including TP-04 for the treatment of ocular rosacea and TP-05 for potential Lyme disease prophylaxis and community malaria reduction, among others. The risk of failure for product candidates in early development is high. Extensive clinical trials are necessary to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of such product candidates in humans. Clinical trials may fail to demonstrate that such product candidates are safe for humans and effective for indicated uses. Further, we intend to leverage data from the TP-03 preclinical studies and clinical safety assessments for the treatment of Demodex blepharitis to satisfy the preclinical study requirements for TP-04 and TP-05 and other indications. For rosacea, we conducted the Phase 1 Galatea trial with TP-04 and initiated the Phase 2a Galatea trial, for the potential treatment of papulopustular rosacea in March 2023. In February 2024 we announced positive topline results, and after review of the Galatea trial data with the FDA and KOLs, we decided to pursue development of TP-04 for the potential treatment for ocular rosacea. In December 2025, we initiated the KORE Phase 2 trial for the potential treatment of ocular rosacea with topline results expected in the first half of 2027. With respect to Lyme disease, in December 2022 we announced positive topline results from the completed Callisto trial and enrollment of the first patient in the Carpo trial. The Carpo trial evaluated TP-05, an investigational oral systemic, non-vaccine pharmacological prophylactic for the potential prevention of Lyme disease in humans is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that evaluated the efficacy of TP-05 in killing lab grown, non-disease carrying ticks after they have attached to the skin of healthy volunteers, as well as confirm the safety, tolerability, and blood concentration of TP-05. In February 2024, we announced positive topline results from the Carpo trial. After discussions with the FDA about our Lyme disease program, they agreed to our proposed approach for a Phase 2 clinical trial of TP-05 which would include several hundred subjects. In March 2026, we initiated and have since completed enrollment in a Phase 2 clinical trial (the “Calliope trial”) of TP-05, a novel investigational lotilaner-based oral prophylactic tablet designed to kill ticks before potential disease transmission. Topline results are expected in the first half of

LianBio announced its completion of a comprehensive strategic review and determined to initiate the wind down of its operations, including the sale of remaining pipeline assets, the delisting of its American Depositary Shares, deregistration under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and workforce reductions. In March 2024, we executed the Novation Agreement with GrandPharma and LianBio to transition the rights to develop and commercialize TP-03 in China for the treatment of Demodex blepharitis and MGD. In March 2026, GrandPharma obtained regulatory approval of TP-03 in the PRC, following a previous regulatory approval in Macau. The regulatory approval in the PRC, together with a previous patent issuance in the PRC relating to TP-03, triggered a $15.0 million milestone payment to the Company, which was recorded as license fees and collaboration revenue in the accompanying Condensed Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026. As of the date of this filing, it is uncertain if and when we will receive any additional future milestone consideration under the China Out-License.

We have entered into four in-license agreements including: (i) a license agreement with Elanco Tiergesundheit AG (“Elanco”) for exclusive worldwide rights to certain intellectual property for the development and commercialization of lotilaner in the treatment or cure of any eye or skin disease or condition in humans, as amended in June 2022 and May 2025 (the “Eye and Derm Elanco Agreement”), (ii) a license agreement with Elanco granting it a worldwide license to certain intellectual property for the development and commercialization of lotilaner for the treatment, palliation, prevention, or cure of all other diseases and conditions in humans (i.e., beyond that of the eye or skin), as amended in June 2022 (the “All Human Uses Elanco Agreement” and with the Eye and Derm Elanco Agreement, the “Elanco Agreements”), (iii) a license agreement entered into in October 2024 with a third party for the exclusive worldwide rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize a compound for all ophthalmic uses, and (iv) two license agreements entered into in February 2026 with a third party for the exclusive worldwide rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize several compounds for all diagnostic, prophylactic, and therapeutic uses, except for a specific field carve-out for a small minority of the compounds to be retained by the licensor. We also entered into the China Out-License as discussed elsewhere herein. We have also entered into and may in the future enter into in-license or out-license agreements with multiple licensors and strategic agreements, which, subject us to various obligations, including diligence obligations, reporting and notification obligations, payment obligations for achievement of certain milestone as well as other material obligations. We may need to devote substantial time and attention to ensuring that we successfully integrate these transactions into our existing operations and are compliant with our obligations under these agreements, which may divert management’s time and attention away from our research and development programs or other day-to-day activities.

We expect our expenses to continue to increase and we will require a larger amount of capital to fund our commercialization efforts, the development of our product candidates and the maintenance and expansion of our operations and capabilities. These expenditures will include costs associated with marketing and selling any products approved for sale, including XDEMVY, conducting non-clinical studies and clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals, securing manufacturing and supply of product candidates, costs associated with in-licensing or acquiring assets consistent with our core strategy and other unanticipated costs. Further, as a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other costs associated with operating as a public company.

As of the date of this filing, we have paid the iRenix Upfront Consideration and have agreed to pay, subject to the consummation of the Alkeus Acquisition, the Alkeus Upfront Payment (see Note 13). Further, we expect to receive an additional $125.0 million in gross proceeds upon the closing of the PIPE Transaction, which is expected to occur on August 7, 2026, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. After giving effect to the iRenix Upfront Payment and assuming that we will pay the Alkeus Upfront Payment upon consummation of the Alkeus Acquisition and will receive the gross proceeds upon the closing of the PIPE Transaction, we believe that our remaining cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our current and planned operations for at least the next twelve months following the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our cash runway estimate is predicated on current assumptions regarding future revenue, operating expenses, and the availability of debt and equity financing, and may require future adjustments. Accordingly, we may be required to raise additional capital earlier than we currently expect based on our cash requirements and market dynamics.

We expect to finance our cash needs through existing capital balances, revenue from our net product sales, possible combinations of equity and debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a common stockholder. For example, in May 2022, August 2023, March 2024, and March 2025, we completed the Follow-On Public Offerings, in which we received total net proceeds of $74.2 million, $99.3 million, $107.7 million, and $134.8 million, respectively (after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other estimated offering-related expenses) through the issuance of 5,889,832 shares of our common stock in the May 2022 Public Offering, 6,069,449 shares of our common stock in the August 2023 Public Offering, 3,281,250 shares of our common stock and, in lieu of common stock to a certain investor, pre-funded warrants to purchase 312,500 shares of our common stock in the March 2024 Public Offering, and 3,230,336 shares of our common stock in the March 2025 Public Offering. In addition, on August 5, 2026, we entered into the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which we have agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 2,098,519 shares of our common stock (the “PIPE Shares”) and pre-funded warrants to purchase 133,625 shares of our common stock (the “PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants”) in a private placement offering, which is expected to result in gross proceeds of $125.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The PIPE Transaction is expected to close on August 7, 2026, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions. For example, the 2024 Credit Facility with Pharmakon, which provided, among other things, a $75.0 million initial term loan which was drawn in April 2024, restricts our ability to pursue certain transactions that we may believe to be in our best interests without the prior written consent of Pharmakon, including but not limited to: disposing of certain properties or assets, incurring additional indebtedness, granting liens, making investments, paying dividends or making distributions or certain other restricted payments in respect of equity, prepaying other indebtedness, entering into restrictive agreements, undertaking fundamental changes or amending certain material contracts, in each case subject to certain customary exceptions and negotiated carve outs.

Actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. For example, in March 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), as receiver, and SVB was subsequently transferred into a new entity, Silicon Valley Bridge Bank (“SVBB”)which First Citizens Bank then assumed.
Previous wording
Acquisitions or strategic partnerships could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders, reduce our financial resources, cause us to incur debt or assume contingent liabilities, and subject us to other risks.
Current wording
We recently completed the Alkeus Acquisition and the iRenix Acquisition, and these and any future acquisitions or strategic partnerships could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders, reduce our financial resources, cause us to incur debt or assume liabilities, including substantial contingent milestone and royalty payment obligations, and subject us to other risks, and we may not successfully integrate acquired businesses or realize their anticipated benefits.
Previous wording
We have and may in the future enter into transactions to acquire other businesses, product candidates, products or technologies or enter into strategic partnerships, including licensing. For example, on July 6, 2026, we completed the acquisition of iRenix. While we believe the iRenix Acquisition will help us to establish an important foundation in retina, IRX-101 is still in the clinical stages of development, so any anticipated benefits of the iRenix Acquisition may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. In addition, on July 31, 2026, we entered into the Alkeus Merger Agreement to acquire Alkeus, which is expected to close in 2026, subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. However, there can be no assurances that the Alkeus Acquisition will be completed on the terms and in the timing that we anticipate or at all. Also, any challenges with our ability to integrate iRenix and potentially Alkeus, and our ability to hire and retain adequate personnel to operate these and our other existing programs could adversely affect timing and execution of the current and future clinical trials, among other aspects. Further, if we identify other suitable acquisition or partnership candidates in the future, we may not be able to make such acquisitions or partnerships on favorable terms, or at all. Any acquisitions or partnerships we make may not strengthen our competitive position, and these transactions may be viewed negatively by customers or investors. We may decide to incur debt in connection with an acquisition or issue our common stock or other equity securities to the stockholders of the acquired company, which would reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. For example, we issued 607,093 shares of our common stock as a portion of the consideration paid in the iRenix Acquisition and we have agreed to issue an aggregate of $180.0 million in shares of our common stock valued at a price per share of $61.38 as a portion of the consideration to be paid in the Alkeus Acquisition, if it is consummated. We may also, at our option, pay all or a portion of a potential $250.0 million milestone payment in shares of our common stock, to the extent the Alkeus Acquisition is consummated and the applicable milestone is achieved.
Current wording
We have entered into, and may in the future enter into, transactions to acquire other businesses, product candidates, products or technologies or enter into strategic partnerships, including licensing. For example, on July 6, 2026 and September 4, 2026, respectively, we completed the acquisitions of iRenix and Alkeus. While we believe these acquisitions will help us to establish an important foundation and expand our presence in retina, IRX-101 and ALK-001 are still in the clinical stages of development, so any anticipated benefits of the acquisitions may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. Also, any challenges with our ability to integrate iRenix and Alkeus, and our ability to hire and retain adequate personnel to operate these and our other existing programs could adversely affect the timing and execution of current and future clinical trials, among other things. Further, if we identify other suitable acquisition or partnership candidates in the future, we may not be able to make such acquisitions or partnerships on favorable terms, or at all. Any acquisitions or partnerships we make may not strengthen our competitive position, and these transactions may be viewed negatively by customers or investors.
Previous wording
We could incur losses resulting from undiscovered liabilities of the acquired business or partnership that are not covered by the indemnification we may obtain from the seller or our partner or any representations and warranties insurance coverage. In addition, we may not be able to successfully integrate any acquired personnel, technologies and operations into our existing business in an effective, timely and non-disruptive manner. Acquisitions or partnerships may also divert management attention from day-to-day responsibilities, lead to a loss of key personnel, increase our expenses and reduce our cash available for operations and other uses. We cannot predict the number, timing or size of future acquisitions or partnerships or the effect that any such transactions might have on our operating results.

We do not have the ability to independently conduct our clinical trials. We currently rely on third parties, such as CROs, clinical data management organizations, medical institutions and clinical investigators, to conduct our current and planned clinical trials of TP-03, TP-04, TP-05 and IRX-101 and other product candidates, and we expect to continue to rely upon third parties to conduct additional clinical trials of potential future product candidates. Third parties have a significant role in the conduct of our clinical trials and the subsequent collection and analysis of data. These third parties are not our employees, and except for remedies available to us under our agreements with such third party, we have limited ability to control the amount or timing of resources that any such third party will devote to our clinical trials. Some of these third parties may terminate their engagements with us at any time. If we need to enter into alternative arrangements with a third party, it would delay our development activities.

Previous wording
We do not have any, and have no plans to acquire any, manufacturing facilities. We produce in our laboratory relatively small quantities of compounds for evaluation in our research programs. We rely, and expect to continue to rely, on third parties for the commercial manufacture of XDEMVY and the manufacture of our product candidates for preclinical and clinical testing, as well as for commercial manufacture of our product candidates, if approved. If the third parties we engage with are unable to supply us with sufficient quantities of XDEMVY or our product candidates, and we are unable to timely establish an alternate supply from one or more third-party manufacturers, we will experience delays in our commercialization and development efforts as we seek to locate and qualify new manufacturers. In particular, any replacement of our third-party manufacturers could require significant effort and expertise because there may be a limited number of qualified replacements or capacity could be limited at each of the qualified replacements. We currently have limited manufacturing arrangements and expect that XDEMVY and each of our product candidates will only be covered by third-party manufacturers, which exacerbates these and other related risks for us. Additionally, we and our third-party contract manufacturers rely, and we expect that we will continue to rely, on single source suppliers for certain materials for our products and product candidates for the foreseeable future. For example, we purchase our API for XDEMVY, lotilaner, from a single source supplier. This reliance on third parties, including single source suppliers, increases the risk that we will not have sufficient quantities of XDEMVY or our product candidates or any future approved products, or such quantities at an acceptable cost or quality, which could delay, prevent or impair our commercialization or development efforts. If current or future suppliers are delayed or unable to supply sufficient materials to manufacture our products and product candidates, we may experience delays in our commercialization and development efforts, which would have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

The development and commercialization of our product, XDEMVY for the treatment of Demodex blepharitis, or certain of our product candidates, including TP-04 for the potential treatment of ocular rosacea and TP-05 for potential Lyme disease prophylaxis and community malaria reduction, is dependent on intellectual property we license from Elanco. If we breach our agreements with Elanco or the agreements are terminated, we could lose license rights that are important to our business.

The development and potential commercialization of our other product candidates, including IRX-101 for the potential use as an ocular antiseptic, and ALK-001 for the potential treatment of Stargardt disease are also dependent upon intellectual property we license from third parties. If we breach our agreements with Elanco or other third parties or the agreements are terminated, we could lose license rights that are important to our business.
Previous wording
The patent position of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies generally is highly uncertain, involves complex legal and factual questions and has in recent years been the subject of much litigation, resulting in court decisions, including U.S. Supreme Court decisions, which have increased uncertainties as to the ability to enforce patent rights in the future. In addition, the scope of patent protection outside of the U.S. is uncertain and laws of foreign countries may not protect our rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S., or vice versa. For example, European patent law restricts the patentability of methods of treatment of the human body more than U.S. law does. With respect to both owned and in-licensed patent rights, we cannot predict whether the patent applications we and our licensors are currently pursuing or will pursue will issue as patents in any particular jurisdiction or whether the claims of any issued patents will provide sufficient protection from competitors. As noted above, the Novation Agreement amended the $15.0 million future development milestone payable on China regulatory approval of the China Out-License with a combined condition of patent issuance related to TP-03 in China. In March 2026, GrandPharma obtained regulatory approval of TP-03 in the PRC, following a previous regulatory approval in Macau. The regulatory approval in the PRC, together with a previous patent issuance in the PRC relating to TP-03, triggered a $15.0 million milestone payment to the Company, which was recorded as license fees and collaboration revenue in the accompanying Condensed Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Although we achieved the associated milestone, if the commercialization of TP-03 is unsuccessful in the China Territory this could adversely affect our business.

Further, we may not be aware of all third-party intellectual property rights potentially relating to XDEMVY or our product candidates or their intended uses, and as a result the impact of such third-party intellectual property rights upon the patentability of our own patents and patent applications, as well as the impact of such third-party intellectual property upon our ability to commercialize our products, is highly uncertain. Because we have not yet conducted a formal patent landscape analysis related to XDEMVY or our product candidates, we may not be aware of issued patents that a third party might assert are infringed by XDEMVY or one of our current or future product candidates, which could materially impair our ability to commercialize XDEMVY or our product candidates. Even if we diligently search third-party patents for potential infringement by our products or product candidates, including XDEMVY, TP-03, TP-04, TP-05 or IRX-101, we may not successfully find patents that our products or product candidates, including XDEMVY, TP-03, TP-04, TP-05 or IRX-101, may infringe. If we are unable to confirm that our products do not infringe third-party patents, others could preclude us from commercializing XDEMVY or our product candidates. In addition, publications of discoveries in the scientific literature often lag behind the actual discoveries and patent applications in the U.S. and other jurisdictions are typically not published until 18 months after filing or, in some cases, not published at all. Therefore, we cannot know with certainty whether we were the first to make the inventions claimed in our patents or pending patent applications, or that we were the first to file for patent protection of such inventions. As a result, the issuance, scope, validity, enforceability and commercial value of our patent rights are highly uncertain. Our patents or pending patent applications may be challenged in the courts or patent offices in the U.S. and abroad. For example, we may be subject to a third party pre-issuance submission of prior art to the USPTO, or become involved in post-grant review or interference procedures, oppositions, derivations, revocations, reexaminations, or inter partes review proceedings, in the U.S. or elsewhere, challenging our patent rights or the patent rights of others. For example, one of our European patents relating to TP-03 is currently being challenged by third parties in an opposition proceeding before the European Patent Office, which is expected to be under appeal. An adverse determination in any such submission, proceeding or litigation could reduce the scope of, or invalidate, our patent rights, allow third parties to commercialize our technology or product candidates and compete directly with us, without payment to us, or result in our inability to manufacture or commercialize drugs without infringing third-party patent rights.

The scope of a patent claim is determined by an interpretation of the law, the written disclosure in a patent and the patent’s prosecution history. Our interpretation of the relevance or the scope of a patent or a pending application may be incorrect, which may negatively impact our ability to market our products. We may incorrectly determine that our products are not covered by a third-party patent or may incorrectly predict whether a third party’s pending application will issue with claims of relevant scope. Our determination of the expiration date of any patent in the U.S. or abroad that we consider relevant may be incorrect, which may negatively impact our ability to develop and market XDEMVY or our product candidates.

However, future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, including shares issued upon exercise of our outstanding warrants or options, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. We also expect that significant additional capital may be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To raise capital, we may sell common stock, including pursuant to our 2023 ATM Prospectus, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. For example, in March 2025, we completed a follow-on public offering of approximately 3.2 million shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $44.50 per share, for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $134.8 million (after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other estimated offering-related expenses). In 2023 we raised approximately $19.2 million, after deducting broker commissions and fees, through sales under our 2023 ATM Prospectus. On August 5, 2026, we entered into the Purchase Agreement for the PIPE Transaction, which is expected to close on August 7, 2026, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and have agreed, subject to closing the PIPE Transaction, to file a shelf registration statement to cover the resale by the investors in the PIPE Transaction of the PIPE Shares and the shares issuable upon exercise of the PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale and issuance of shares or other securities convertible into shares, our stockholders will be diluted.
