NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

LSAC was initially formed on December 19, 2018 as a Delaware corporation for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. In December 2020, the Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Vincera Pharma, with Legacy Vincera Pharma surviving the Merger as a wholly- owned subsidiary of LSAC. In connection with the Business Combination, LSAC changed its name to Vincera Pharma, Inc., and subsequently in January 2021, changed its name to Vincerx Pharma, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”).

The Company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with products and technologies derived from the Bayer License Agreement, pursuant to which we were granted an exclusive, royalty-bearing, worldwide license under certain Bayer patents and

know-how

to develop, use, manufacture, commercialize, sublicense, and distribute bioconjugation and small molecule drug programs.

Reverse Stock Split

In January 2025, the stockholders approved, and the Company effected, a

1-for-20

reverse stock split. All share and

per-share

data have been retroactively adjusted to account for the reverse stock split. Proportionate adjustments have been made to the number of shares of common stock underlying our outstanding equity awards and warrants, the number of shares issuable under our equity incentive plans, and other existing agreements, as well as the exercise price. The reverse stock split does not affect the par value of the common stock.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form

10-Q

and Article 8 of Regulation

S-X

of the rules and regulations of the SEC. They include the accounts of Vincerx and its wholly-owned subsidiaries VNRX Corp, Vincerx Pharma GmbH, and Vincerx Pharma Australia Pty Limited. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2024, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2024 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2024. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future periods.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $4.4 million in cash. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception and expects to continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows in the future. Based on current business plans and assumptions, the Company believes that its existing cash will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the third quarter of 2025, although this estimate is based on plans and assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and the Company could use its available cash resources sooner than it currently expects.

On April 17, 2025, the Company’s board of directors, after considering numerous factors, including the Company’s limited cash resources and inability to raise capital or complete any other strategic transaction, determined that it is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders for the Company to dissolve, liquidate, and wind-up its business and affairs and distribute to stockholders any assets remaining after paying or providing for payment of its creditors and, accordingly, approved the Dissolution and Plan of Liquidation, subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders. At such time, our board of directors also approved the voluntary delisting of the Company’s common stock from Nasdaq and deregistration under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)

2014-15,

Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

(Subtopic

205-40),

the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. In light of the Company’s existing cash resources and current and

expected operating losses and negative cash flows, and our planned Dissolution, the Company has concluded that these circumstances and the uncertainties associated with its ability to obtain additional capital raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business, and do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, except for the grant receivable, which the Company does not expect to be able to recover, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements as well as reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates made by the Company include, but are not limited to, common stock warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation. The Company bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company has cash balances at financial institutions which throughout the year regularly exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Management considers all highly liquid investments with an insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

German Grant Income

The Company recognizes grant income in the period when the underlying eligible expenses are incurred. The German government grant program provides for tax refunds or direct reimbursements of eligible

research expenses

of up to 1.0 million euros per year over a period of six years. The grant was approved in 2022 and was retroactive to 2021. Grant income for the three-months ended March 31, 2025 has been recorded in other income (expense), net on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The corresponding receivable is included in current assets or other assets, $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, at

December 31, 2024, on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets depending upon expectations for collection within 12 months of the condensed consolidated balance sheet date. Subsequent to December 31, 2024, the long term portion of the grant receivable was deemed to be not recoverable, and the entire balance of $1.7 million has been charged to other income (expense), net on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued

ASU No. 2023-07

“Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” ASU 2023-07 requires incremental annual and quarterly disclosures about segment measures of profit or loss as well as significant segment expenditures. It also requires public entities with a single reportable segment to provide all segment disclosures required by the amendments in the update and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2025 on a retrospective basis and the adoption did not have a significant impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, FASB issued

ASU No. 2023-09

“Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.”

ASU 2023-09

requires incremental annual disclosures around income tax rate reconciliations, income taxes paid and other related disclosures. This guidance requires prospective application and permits retrospective application to prior periods presented. The Company has adopted this guidance on January 1, 2025. The Company expects the adoption of this standard to result in increased disclosures in its notes to consolidated financial statements.

There have been no other material changes in the

Company’s

significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed

the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K.

NOTE 3. BAYER LICENSE

know-how

to develop, use, manufacture, commercialize, sublicense, and distribute a bioconjugation program and a small molecule drug program. Although the Bayer License Agreement provides for payment of certain development and commercial sales milestones and royalty payments, given the approval by our board of directors of the Dissolution, it is expected that Bayer will terminate the License Agreement pursuant to its terms.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis and the level of inputs used for such measurements were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Fair Value Measured as of March 31, 2025

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Liabilities:
Legacy private warrant liabilities	$	—	$	—	$	8	$	8

Total fair value	$	—	$	—	$	8	$	8

The estimated fair value of the warrant liability for outstanding legacy warrants at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo options pricing model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on its historical volatility for a time period that approximates the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S.

Treasury zero-coupon

yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero. There were no changes to the number of legacy warrants underlying the Level 3 financial instruments during the three-months ended March 31, 2025. There were no transfers between Level 1, 2, or 3 during the three-months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024.

The following table presents changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. Both observable and unobservable inputs were used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. Unrealized gains and losses associated with liabilities within the Level 3 category include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs (in thousands).

A summary of the weighted average (in aggregate) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) used in measuring the Company’s legacy warrant liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is as follows:


	As of March 31, 2025			As of December 31, 2024

NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

On December 23, 2020, the Company entered into a five-year term lease agreement which commenced on January 1, 2021. On April 1, 2021, and again on May 1, 2021, the lease was amended to include additional space. The annual rent expense was approximately $1.2 million.

Effective July 2022, the Company subleased substantially all of its unused office space for a term of 18 months at a base rent of $50,000 per month. The Company had not been legally released from its primary obligations under the original lease and subsequent amendments and, therefore, continued to account for the original lease according to Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, “Leases.” The Company records both fixed and variable payments received from the sublessee in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss on a straight-line basis as an offset to rent expense. Such payments received in the three-months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were nil and $0.1 million, respectively. The Company also received a $50,000 deposit, previously recorded as a noncurrent liability in the consolidated balance sheet

. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company streamlined its operations and significantly reduced its workforce. In connection with this workforce reduction, the Company terminated its lease effective December 31, 2024. In consideration for this early termination, the Company relinquished the original deposit of approximately $82,000, as well as the $50,000 deposit received from the sublessor, to the landlord.

The following summarizes quantitative information about the Company’s operating leases (amounts in thousands):

NOTE 6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 120,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 30,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 5,234,277 and 2,239,580 shares, respectively, of common stock outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

At-the-Market

Offering

On January 21, 2025, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Agent”). The Sales Agreement provides for the issuance and sale by the Company of shares of common stock

in “at-the-market”

offerings having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million (the “Shares”). Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Company may offer and sell the Shares in transactions deemed to

as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, which Shares can be sold by the Company from time to time, depending upon market demand, with the Agent acting as an agent for sales. As of March 31, 2025, the Company sold an aggregate of 2,624,276 shares of its common stock at an average price of $1.63 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $3.9 million, after paying commissions and offering expenses of approximately $0.4 million. On January 10, 2025, the Company terminated its previous Sales Agreement with Leerink Partners LLC.

Legacy Warrants

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 3,295,000 legacy warrants to purchase common stock outstanding.

The legacy warrants are exercisable on the basis of 20 warrants for one share of common stock at an aggregate exercise price of $230 per share and will be exercisable for cash (even if a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not effective) or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option (except with respect to 500,000 of the legacy warrants held by Rosedale Park, LLC and 500,000 of the legacy warrants held by LifeSci Holdings LLC, which were amended to remove the cashless exercise provision), and will not be redeemable by the Company (except with respect to 500,000 of the legacy warrants held by Rosedale Park, LLC and 500,000 of the legacy warrants held by LifeSci Holdings LLC, which were amended to include a redemption provision. The legacy warrants held by Rosedale Park, LLC expired on March 5, 2025, provided that once the legacy warrants are not beneficially owned by Chardan Capital Markets, LLC or any of its related persons, the legacy warrants will expire on December 23, 2025 (five years from the closing of the Business Combination).

The legacy warrants issued to LifeSci Holdings LLC that were amended as described above were determined to be equity classified in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The remaining legacy warrants were determined to be liability classified in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (see Note 4).

NOTE 7. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

In connection with the Business Combination, the stockholders approved the Vincerx Pharma, Inc. 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which became effective upon the closing of the Business Combination on December 23, 2020. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had 216,582 shares of common stock reserved for issuance and 254,000 shares available for future awards under the 2020 Plan. The 2020 Plan allows for the grant of stock options and rights to acquire restricted stock to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. The terms and conditions of specific awards are set at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. Options granted under the 2020 Plan expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. Unvested common stock obtained upon early exercise of options are subject to repurchase by the Company at the original issue price.

Stock option activity under the 2020 Plan is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Stock Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2025		252		$	19.89		6.9	$	—
Options granted		—			—		—		—

Options vested and exercisable at March 31, 2025		169		$	24.21		7.0	$	—

Stock-based compensation expense is based on the grant-date fair value for all awards granted. The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the option vesting term of three years.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had stock-based compensation of approximately $3.1 million related to unvested stock options not yet recognized that are expected to be recognized over an estimated weighted average period of 1.8 years.

The following weighted average assumptions were used as inputs to the Black-Scholes option valuation model in determining the estimated grant-date fair value of the Company’s stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

NOTE 8. NET LOSS PER SHARE APPLICABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per common share is computed similarly to basic loss per common share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

The following table sets forth the computation of loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (amounts in thousands, except per share number):

ITEM 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The below discussion should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Overview

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with products and technologies derived from the Bayer License Agreement, pursuant to which we were granted an exclusive, royalty-bearing, worldwide license under certain Bayer patents and know-how to develop, use, manufacture, commercialize, sublicense, and distribute bioconjugation and small molecule drug programs.

License Agreement with Bayer

On October 7, 2020, the Company entered into the Bayer License Agreement, which became effective on December 23, 2020 upon the closing of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the Bayer License Agreement, the Company has an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license under certain Bayer patents and know-how to develop, use, manufacture, commercialize, sublicense, and distribute a bioconjugation program and a small molecule drug program. Although the Bayer License Agreement provides for payment of certain development and commercial sales milestones and royalty payments, given the approval by our board of directors of the Dissolution, it is expected that Bayer will terminate the License Agreement pursuant to its terms.

Basis of Presentation

We currently conduct operations through one operating segment. As a pre-revenue company with no commercial operations, our activities to date have been limited and were conducted primarily in the United States. Our historical results are reported under GAAP and in U.S. dollars.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We have not recognized any revenue from product sales and, given our pending Dissolution, will not generate any revenue from product sales in the future.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expenses consist of preclinical product development and discovery efforts (including conducting preclinical studies), manufacturing development efforts, preparing for and conducting clinical trials, and activities related to regulatory filings for product candidates. Research and development expenses are recognized as incurred, and payments made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in research and development are capitalized until the goods or services are received. Costs incurred in obtaining technology licenses through asset acquisitions are charged to research and development expense if the licensed technology has not reached technological feasibility and has no alternative future use. Research and development expenses include:

•

employee-related expenses, including salaries, bonuses, benefits, stock-based compensation, and other related costs for those employees involved in research and development efforts;

•

external research and development expenses incurred under agreements with clinical research organizations, investigative sites, and consultants to conduct our preclinical studies;

•

costs related to manufacturing material for preclinical studies and clinical trials, including fees paid to contract manufacturing organizations;

•

laboratory supplies and research materials;

•

costs related to compliance with regulatory requirements; and

•

facilities, depreciation, and other allocated expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent, maintenance of facilities, insurance, and equipment.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and related costs for personnel in executive and administrative functions, including stock-based compensation, travel expenses, and recruiting expenses. Other general and administrative expenses include professional fees for legal, accounting, and tax-related services and insurance costs.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities

Certain of our private warrants are classified as liabilities pursuant to ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities consists of the change in fair value of these private warrants.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024

The following tables set forth our historical operating results for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands):


	For the three months ended March 31,
	2025			2024			Amount Change
Operating expenses:
General and administrative	$	2,316		$	2,922		$	(606	)

Net loss	$	(5,000	)	$	(12,429	)	$	7,429

Research and Development

Research and development expenses decreased by approximately $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is primarily the result of decreases in personnel related expenses of approximately $1.5 million, clinical related expenses of approximately $1.1 million, and research services of approximately $0.7 million.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was due to a decrease in personnel related expenses of $0.7 million as a result of our significant headcount reduction in December 2024.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities

The change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is primarily due to a significant increase in the volatility of our common stock.

Interest Income

Interest income is primarily comprised of interest income and gains or losses realized on cash and cash equivalents. The decrease in interest income to nil for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is a result of our declining portfolio of cash equivalents.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) is ordinarily comprised of estimated grant income earned in connection with our research activities conducted at our German subsidiary. During the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, the grant receivable was deemed to be not recoverable, and approximately $1.7 million has been charged to other income (expense).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have not recognized any revenue from product sales and, given our pending Dissolution, will not generate any revenue from product sales in the future.

Based on our current plans and assumptions, we believe that our existing cash will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the third quarter of 2025, although this estimate is based on plans and assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and the Company could use its available cash resources sooner than it currently expects. Changing circumstances, some of which may be beyond our control, could result in less cash available to us or cause us to consume capital faster than we currently anticipate.

In accordance with ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), we have evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. In light of our existing cash resources and current and expected operating losses and negative cash flows, and our planned Dissolution, we have concluded that these circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Cash Flows

The following table provides a summary of our cash flow data for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands):


	For the three months ended March 31,
	2025			2024
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(4,454	)	$	(7,739	)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	3,856		$	5

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our cash flows used in operating activities to date have been primarily comprised of payroll and professional service fees related to research and development, clinical trials, and general and administrative activities.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, consisting primarily of payments to clinical and manufacturing service providers, internal payroll and severance costs, and third-party professional services as we initiated the wind down of our operations and explored strategic alternatives. Our net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $5.0 million, which included approximately $0.4 million related to stock-based compensation.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

In January 2025, the Company entered into the Sales Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC. The Sales Agreement provides for the issuance and sale by the Company of shares of common stock in “at-the-market” offerings having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million. As of March 31, 2025, the Company sold an aggregate of 2,624,276 shares of its common stock at an average price of $1.63 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $3.9 million, after paying commissions and offering expenses of approximately $0.4 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to derivative liabilities, accrued expenses, and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Our critical accounting estimates are detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Other than described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this report, our critical accounting policies and significant estimates have not changed substantially from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

ITEM 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including the effects of interest rate changes and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Information on quantitative and qualitive disclosures about these market risks is set forth below.

Interest Rate Risk

Cash and restricted cash consist solely of cash held in depository accounts and as such are not affected by either an increase or decrease in interest rates. Furthermore, we consider all highly liquid investments as cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2025, we held cash only. The short-term nature of cash equivalents are not significantly impacted by changes in the interest rates. Any interest-bearing instruments carry a degree of risk; however, we have not been exposed to, nor do we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our operations are principally denominated by U.S. dollars, and we do not expect our future operating results to be significantly affected by foreign currency transaction risk. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign exchange rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Acting Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Acting Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer) have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1.

Legal Proceedings.

We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, and are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceedings against us that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

ITEM 1A.

Risk Factors.

We currently anticipate that it is unlikely there will be any amounts available for distribution to stockholders in connection with the Dissolution. If there are any distributions, they are likely to be minimal, and we cannot assure you as to the amount of such distributions.

Based on the information currently available to us, if our stockholders approve the Dissolution, we currently anticipate that it is unlikely there will be any amounts available for distribution to our stockholders in connection with the Dissolution. Even if there are amounts available for distribution, we expect such amounts to be minimal. Uncertainties as to the ultimate amount of our liabilities, operating costs, and amounts to be reserved for claims, obligations, and provisions during the Dissolution and

winding-up

process, the value (if any) of our assets, and the timing to complete Dissolution and

winding-up

make it difficult to predict with certainty the actual amount, if any, that may ultimately be available for distribution to stockholders or the timing of any such distributions. Examples of uncertainties that could reduce the value of distributions to our stockholders include amounts necessary to resolve claims of any creditors or other third parties, delays in the Dissolution and

winding-up

process, and unanticipated costs relating to the defense, satisfaction, or settlement of lawsuits or other claims threatened against us or our directors or officers. In addition, as we wind down our business, we will continue to incur expenses from operations, including directors’ and officers’ insurance, payments to service providers and any continuing employees or consultants, taxes, and legal, accounting, and consulting fees and expenses related to our filing obligations with the SEC, all of which will reduce any amounts available for distribution to our stockholders.

If our stockholders do not approve the Dissolution, our board of directors may have to seek other alternatives to the Dissolution, and there can be no assurance that other alternatives will be available or, even if available, that pursuing other alternatives would not delay distributions, if any, to our stockholders and reduce the amounts available for any such distributions.

If our stockholders do not approve the Dissolution, our board of directors may have to seek other alternatives to the Dissolution, including seeking voluntary dissolution and liquidation at a later time, conducting an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or seeking bankruptcy protection, and there can be no assurance that other alternatives will be available. Even if other alternatives are available, there can be no assurance that pursuing any such alternatives would not delay distributions, if any, to our stockholders and reduce the amounts available for any such distributions.

Even if our stockholders approve the Dissolution, we cannot predict the timing of distributions, if any, to stockholders.

Our current intention is that, if the Dissolution is approved by our stockholders, the Certificate of Dissolution would be filed promptly after such approval. However, our board of directors will determine, in its sole discretion, whether or not to file the Certificate of Dissolution and proceed with the Dissolution as well as the timing of any distributions that may be available to our stockholders as a result of the Dissolution. In addition, if our board of directors determines that the Dissolution is not in our best interests, or the best interests of our stockholders, our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, abandon the Dissolution or amend or modify the Plan of Liquidation to the extent permitted by the DGCL, without the necessity of further stockholder approval.

Under the DGCL, before we would be able to make any distribution to our stockholders, we must pay or make reasonable provision to pay all of our claims and obligations, including all contingent, conditional, or unmatured contractual claims known to us. Furthermore, we may be subject to potential liabilities relating to litigation matters or indemnification obligations, if any, to third parties or to our current and former officers and directors. It might take significant time to resolve these matters, and as a result, we are unable to predict the timing of distributions, if any, to our stockholders.

We will continue to incur claims, liabilities, and expenses, and a delay in the consummation of the Dissolution will therefore reduce amounts, if any, available for distribution to our stockholders.

Claims, liabilities, and expenses from operations, such as operating costs, salaries, insurance, payroll, taxes, and legal, accounting, and consulting fees, will continue to be incurred as we wind-down our business. These expenses will reduce amounts, if any, that may be available for distribution to our stockholders.

We may be subject to securities or other litigation, which is expensive and could divert our management’s attention from completing the Dissolution.

We may be subject to securities class action or other litigation in connection with the Dissolution. Securities or other litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from completing the Dissolution, which would harm our business, increase our expenses, and decrease amounts, if any, available for distribution to our stockholders.

We may no longer be required to file reports with the SEC during the pendency, or following the consummation, of the Dissolution.

We may file a notice terminating our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act during the pendency, or following the consummation, of the Dissolution. Once effective, we may no longer be required to file any annual, quarterly, or current reports with the SEC, which would significantly limit the public information available about us.

If we continue to have obligations to file reports with the SEC, we will incur costs and expenses relating to such reporting obligations.

If we continue to have obligations to file annual, quarterly, and current reports with the SEC during the pendency, or following the consummation, of the Dissolution, we will have to incur costs and expenses to make such filings and to comply with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, which would decrease amounts, if any, available for distribution to our stockholders.

Our stock transfer books will be closed at the close of business on the date we file the Certificate of Dissolution with the Delaware Secretary of State, after which it will not be possible for stockholders to publicly trade our stock.

If our stockholders approve the Dissolution and our board of directors determines to proceed with the Dissolution by filing a Certificate of Dissolution with the Delaware Secretary of State, we will close our stock transfer books and discontinue recording transfers of our common stock. Thereafter, certificates representing shares of our common stock will be treated as no longer outstanding and will not be assignable or transferable on our books except by will, intestate succession, or operation of law.

If we fail to create an adequate contingency reserve for payment of our expenses, claims, and obligations, our stockholders could be required to return part or all of any distributions received from us in connection with the Dissolution.

If the Dissolution becomes effective, we may establish a contingency reserve designed to satisfy any additional claims and obligations that may arise. Any contingency reserve may not be adequate to cover all of our claims and obligations. Under the DGCL, if we fail to create an adequate contingency reserve for payment of our claims and obligations, our stockholders could be required to return part or all of any distributions previously made to the stockholders. Moreover, if any stockholder has paid taxes on amounts previously received, a repayment of all or a portion of such amount could result in a situation in which such stockholder incurs a net tax cost if the repayment of the amount previously distributed does not cause a commensurate reduction in taxes payable in an amount equal to the amount of the taxes paid on amounts previously distributed.

Our board of directors may determine not to proceed with the Dissolution.

Even if the Dissolution is approved by our stockholders, our board of directors may determine, in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, not to proceed with the Dissolution, in which event stockholders may not receive amounts, if any, that might otherwise have been available for distribution to such stockholders in connection with the Dissolution.

Although our board of directors will be responsible for overseeing the Plan of Liquidation, their authority could effectively be transferred to a liquidating trustee or some other party.

Under the DGCL, our board of directors would initially be responsible for overseeing the Plan of Liquidation. However, pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation, a liquidating trust could be used to complete the Dissolution, and any director, creditor, stockholder, or other party showing good cause could seek court appointment of a trustee or receiver to complete the Dissolution.

We may not be able to retain the services of the personnel needed to complete the Plan of Liquidation and

wind-up

our business.

Successful completion of the Plan of Liquidation depends in large part on our ability to retain the services of qualified personnel who will be charged with winding up our business following the Dissolution, subject to our board of directors’ continued oversight. The retention of qualified personnel may be particularly difficult under our current circumstances. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in retaining the services of such qualified personnel or that we will be able to retain the services of such qualified personnel for the amounts we are willing to pay for such services.

Our stockholders may not be able to recognize a loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes until they receive a final distribution from us.

Distributions made pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation, if any, are intended to be treated as received by a stockholder in exchange for the stockholder’s shares of our common stock. Accordingly, the amount of any such distribution will reduce the stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in such shares, but not below zero. Any excess will be taxable as capital gain, while any tax basis remaining in such shares following the final distribution pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation will be treated as a capital loss. Any such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss, respectively, if such shares have been held for more than one year.
