Seres Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in October 2010 under the name Newco LS21, Inc. In October 2011, the Company changed its name to Seres Health, Inc., and in May 2015, the Company changed its name to Seres Therapeutics, Inc. The Company is a clinical-stage company focused on improving patient outcomes in medically vulnerable populations through discovery and development of novel live biotherapeutics. The Company led the successful development and approval of VOWST (previously referred to as SER-109), the first FDA-approved orally administered microbiome therapeutic and a Breakthrough Therapy designated drug, which was sold to Nestlé Health Science (as defined below) in September 2024. The Company's live biotherapeutic product (“LBP”) candidates, including SER-155, SER-603, SER-147, and other potential candidates in earlier development, are consortia of bacteria designed to optimize specific, targeted pharmacological properties, and are formulated for oral delivery. The Company is designing LBP candidates to target the prevention and treatment of a broad swath of infections, and to treat inflammatory and immune (“I&I”) diseases by modulating host function to increase epithelium integrity and to induce immune homeostasis and tolerance, as well as to prevent the colonization and overgrowth of pathogens in the gastrointestinal (“GI”) tract.

SER-155, the Company's most advanced LBP candidate, is an investigational, oral, live biotherapeutic designed to decolonize GI pathogens, improve GI epithelial barrier integrity, and induce immune homeostasis to prevent bacterial bloodstream infections (“BSIs”), including those that can harbor antimicrobial resistance (“AMR”), as well as other pathogen-associated negative clinical outcomes in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (“allo-HSCT”). In the Company's placebo-controlled Phase 1b study of SER-155 in allo-HSCT, SER-155 was associated with a 77% relative risk reduction in bacterial BSIs and a significant reduction in systemic antibiotic exposure as well as a lower incidence of febrile neutropenia, as compared to placebo through day 100 post HSCT. SER-155 was generally well tolerated, with no observed treatment-related serious adverse events. Following advancement of key startup activities for the SER-155 Phase 2 study in allo-HSCT, including the submission of a final protocol to the FDA in January 2026, study site evaluation and qualification with its CRO, and manufacturing of drug substance, the Company has paused additional investment in that program while continuing to seek funding for the Phase 2 study.

The clinical data from the SER-155 Phase 1b study in allo-HSCT, along with the Company's extensive preclinical and translational clinical data compiled over the past decade support and inform the advancement of the Company's earlier stage programs targeting I&I diseases. The Company is evaluating SER-155 in immune checkpoint-related enterocolitis, or irEC, and the Company is developing SER-603, broadly in inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, including ulcerative colitis, or UC, and Crohn's disease. The Company is currently exploring potential collaborations related to those I&I disease programs.

The Company has built and deploys a reverse translational platform and knowledge base for the discovery and development of live biotherapeutics, and maintains extensive proprietary know-how that may be used to support future research and development efforts. This platform incorporates high-resolution analysis of human clinical data to identify microbiome biomarkers associated with disease and non-disease states; preclinical screening using human cell-based assays and in vitro/ex vivo and in vivo disease models customized for live biotherapeutics; and a strain library and associated microbiological capabilities that spans broad biological and functional breadth. This platform and knowledge base are integrated through a proprietary knowledge graph and agentic artificial intelligence, enabling rapid identification of specific microbes, microbial genes, and microbial metabolites/peptides associated with disease and the design of therapeutic consortia of bacteria for specific pharmacological properties to restructure the gut microbiome and modulate functional pathways associated with disease. In addition, the Company owns a valuable intellectual property estate related to the development and manufacture of live biotherapeutics.

At a special meeting of stockholders held on September 26, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved, and on September 30, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed, the sale (the “Transaction”) of its VOWST microbiome therapeutic business (the “VOWST Business”), including inventory and equipment, certain patents and patent applications, know-how, trade secrets, trademarks, domain names, marketing authorizations and related rights, documents, materials, business records and data and contracts that are used or held for use primarily in the development, commercialization and manufacturing of the microbiome product sold under the brand name VOWST as provided for in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (the “Product”), to Société des Produits Nestlé S.A. (“SPN”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nestlé S.A., and its designated affiliates (collectively, “Nestlé Health Science”) pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 5, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and SPN, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nestlé S.A. As consideration for the Transaction, SPN paid or agreed to pay, as applicable, the following Transaction Consideration:

As they are earned, the Milestone Payments will be satisfied as follows: (i) first, by set-off against all accrued interest on the Prepaid Milestone until the amount of such accrued interest has been paid in full, (ii) second, by set-off against the outstanding balance of the Prepaid Milestone until the Prepaid Milestone has been repaid in full and (iii) thereafter, in cash. If any amount of the Prepaid Milestone (and any accrued interest thereon) remains outstanding as of following the last day of the Milestone Period (defined below), the balance thereof (together with any interest accrued thereon) will be forgiven and the right of set-off of SPN with respect thereto will be deemed forfeited. The installment payment received on July 1, 2025 was offset by $1,421 paid by the Company to Nestlé on the same date related to certain employment obligations assumed by SPN with respect to the period ended as of the Closing Date.

The Company and SPN shared 50/50 in the net profit or net loss (the “Profit Sharing Payments”) achieved during the period from the date of Closing until December 31, 2025 (the “Profit Sharing Period”), with the net profit or net loss calculated as (i) the net sales of VOWST in the United States and Canada, plus (ii) other income received in connection with the grant of a license or sublicense with respect to VOWST in the United States and Canada as described in the Purchase Agreement, minus (iii) allowable expenses directly attributable or reasonably allocable to certain development activities, commercialization activities, medical affairs activities, manufacturing activities or other relevant activities, as described in the Purchase Agreement. During the Profit Sharing Period, the Company reimbursed SPN for (i) certain payments under the exclusive license agreement between the Company and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, (ii) certain costs incurred in connection with an ongoing post-marketing safety study of VOWST and (iii) 80.1% of all rent and other costs due to the landlord under the lease for the Company’s Waltham facility.

At Closing, in exchange for a payment to be made by SPN to Bacthera AG, the Long Term Manufacturing Agreement, dated November 8, 2021 between the Company and Bacthera AG (the “Bacthera Manufacturing Agreement”) was terminated and each of Bacthera and Seres released one another from any and all losses, liabilities or other obligations arising thereunder with respect to the period ending at the Closing Date, including without limitation any milestone payments required to be paid to Bacthera thereunder.

On the Closing Date, the Company and SPN entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which SPN purchased 714,285 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock at Closing, at a purchase price per share of $21.00, for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000. Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, SPN agreed not to sell or transfer the Shares for a period of six months after Closing, subject to certain customary exceptions. The Company agreed to register the resale of the Shares by SPN within 90 days of Closing. On October 1, 2024, the Company filed a registration statement to register the Shares, which became effective on October 11, 2024. In addition, under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, for as long as SPN, together with its affiliates, beneficially owns at least 10% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, the Company has agreed to take such action within its control to include one individual designated by SPN in the slate of nominees recommended by the Company’s board of directors (or the applicable committee of the board of directors) to the Company’s stockholders for election to the board of directors at the applicable stockholder meeting. SPN designated Hans-Juergen Woerle, M.D., Ph.D. and on February 4, 2025, the Company’s board of directors appointed Dr. Woerle to the board as a Class III director, with a term expiring at the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and closing conditions.

On the Closing Date, the Company entered into a TSA with NESA, which provides for services to be performed by the Company in order to facilitate a transition of the business associated with the VOWST Business to NESA and its affiliates. The scope of the transition services includes the provision of certain manufacturing services and certain administrative functions related to the VOWST Business and operations, including the maintenance of certain manufacturing services and the related facility in which such services are currently conducted. The Company provided the manufacturing services until December 31, 2025 and other services for the duration specified in the schedule to the TSA for each service. NESA paid the Company for certain fixed costs, including a monthly fixed fee and a variable per batch fee for preserved raw material suspension ("PRMS") manufacturing, and reimbursed the Company for certain costs of the transition services performed by the Company under the TSA, including labor. The know-how and other intellectual property

generated in connection with the performance of the TSA will be owned by NESA with the Company having a non-exclusive license to such know-how and other intellectual property under the Cross-License Agreement. During the term of the TSA, the Company transferred the specifications for materials and documentation necessary to enable PRMS manufacturing services to a third party service provider designated by NESA. In the event of a material failure by the Company to deliver PRMS under the TSA, NESA had step-in rights to negotiate to enter into a direct lease with the landlord of the manufacturing facility with respect to the portion of such facility used in connection with the VOWST Business or to cause such services to be performed, with any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith reimbursed by the Company.

At the Closing Date, the Company entered into a cross-license agreement with SPN under which the Company granted to SPN a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, fully paid-up license under certain Company patents that have been issued or will issue in the future and current know-how controlled by the Company that is not transferred to SPN pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. In the field of the treatment of Clostridioides difficile infections ("CDI") and recurrent CDI and associated complications (collectively, the “CDI Field”) the license to SPN under such Company patents and know-how will be exclusive to SPN for five years after Closing and co-exclusive between SPN and the Company following that five year period. The license from the Company to SPN is to issued Company patents that currently or in the future cover the Product or improvements thereof, and know-how that is used or reasonably useful in connection with the exploitation of the VOWST Business. The Company also granted SPN an exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, fully paid-up license under issued Company patents that currently or in the future cover the Product and improvements thereof and know-how that is used or reasonably useful in connection with the exploitation of the Product to exploit SER-262 in the CDI Field. SPN granted to the Company a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive license under the patents and know-how that are transferred to SPN pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or developed under the TSA, for the Company’s products for use outside of the CDI Field, and after five years from Closing for Company products containing designed, cultivated, bacterial consortia not manufactured using human stool (excluding SER-262) in the CDI Field. From and after Closing, certain license agreements between the Company, SPN, and/or their respective affiliates terminated and are of no further force or effect, except as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. For example, on September 30, 2024, in connection with the Transaction, the 2016 License Agreement (the “2016 License Agreement”) with Nestec, Ltd., as succeeded by SPN (together with NHSc Rx License GmbH, their affiliates, and their subsidiaries “Nestlé”), and the 2021 License Agreement (the “2021 License Agreement”) with NHSc Pharma Partners, succeeded by NHSc Rx License GmbH (together with Société des Produits Nestlé S.A, their affiliates, and their subsidiaries “Nestlé”) were terminated upon mutual agreement of the parties, with provisions related to record retention, confidentiality obligations, indemnification obligations, intellectual property ownership, and any outstanding payment obligations surviving the termination of each of the 2016 License Agreement and 2021 License Agreement, respectively.

On the Closing Date, the parties entered into assignment and assumption of lease agreements (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreements”). Under the Assignment and Assumption Agreements, the Company assigned to SPN the Company’s rights in, to and under certain real property leases, and SPN assumed the liabilities related thereto.

On the Closing Date, the parties entered into an employee support agreement (the “Employee Support Agreement”). Under the Employee Support Agreement, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions therein, certain employees of the Company related to the VOWST Business who accepted employment with SPN or one of its designated affiliates provided the services they provided to the Company prior to the Transaction to SPN, as well as other services as SPN may reasonably request, from Closing until the day prior to the beginning of SPN’s or its designated affiliate’s next pay period following the Closing. SPN reimbursed the Company’s out of pocket costs in connection with such employees’ services, including certain compensation and benefits paid or provided to such employees pursuant to the terms of the Employee Support Agreement. All such employees were transferred to SPN as of December 31, 2024.

In connection with the Transaction, the Company fully retired its senior secured debt facility with Oaktree Capital Management. The Company intends to use the remaining proceeds to support the further advancement of SER-155 and the Company’s other wholly-owned cultivated live biotherapeutic candidates for medically vulnerable patient populations with potential to address large commercial opportunities.

The Company incurred certain significant costs relating to the Transaction, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory, printing and other professional services fees, as well as other customary payments. For the year ended December 31, 2024, these costs amounted to approximately $9,016, which is included within the net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Going Concern

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, compliance with government regulations and the need to obtain additional financing. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial

competition from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. In addition, the Company is dependent upon the services of its employees and consultants.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $972,403 and cash and cash equivalents of $45,766.

The Company’s product candidates are in development, and will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval, prior to potential commercialization. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained, or maintained, that any product candidate developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval, or that any approved product will be commercially viable. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate significant revenue from product sales.

Primarily as a result of the costs associated with continuing the research and development efforts for SER-155 and the Company’s live biotherapeutics platform, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $93,971 and had operating cash outflows of $73,883, excluding the $75,000 installment payments received from Nestlé, for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company expects that its operating losses and negative cash flows will continue for the foreseeable future. Based on the Company’s currently available cash resources, current and forecasted level of operations, and forecasted cash flows for the 12-month period subsequent to the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Company will require additional funding to support its ongoing operations and meet its obligations as they come due. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and to generate profitable operations in the future. Management plans to provide for the Company’s capital requirements through financing or other strategic transactions, including potential business development transactions, and selling shares under the Company's at the market equity offering. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital to fund operations with terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. Because certain elements of management’s plans to mitigate the conditions that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern are outside of the Company’s control, including the ability to raise capital through an equity or other financing, those elements cannot be considered probable according to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Going Concern ("ASC 205-40"), and therefore cannot be considered in the evaluation of mitigating factors. As a result, management has concluded that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to reflect the impact of the discontinued operations treatment of the VOWST Business.

On April 21, 2025, the Company effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. All share and per share amounts in the financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to this reverse stock split. The reverse stock split had no impact on the number of authorized shares or the par value of preferred and common stock. Therefore, the Company reclassified an amount equal to the reduction in the number of shares of common stock at par value to additional paid-in capital. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse split, and stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share instead received a cash payment equal to the fraction of a share of common stock in lieu of such fractional share. Proportionate adjustments were made to the number of shares authorized under the Company’s equity incentive plans, the number of shares subject to any award or purchase right under the Company’s equity incentive plans, and the exercise price or purchase price with respect to any stock option award or purchase right under the Company’s equity incentive plans. See Note 7, Stock and Stock-Based Awards, for further information.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions.
