Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the Company's financial instruments reflects the amounts that the Company estimates that it would receive in connection with the sale of an asset or pay in connection with the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company discloses and recognizes the fair value of the assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active.

Level 3 - Inputs that are unobservable. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers within the hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company elected the fair value option for the EIB Loan guaranteed by the Company in connection with the EryDel Acquisition. The Company adjusted the EIB Loan to fair value through the change in fair value of debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Subsequent unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option is elected are reported in earnings. The Company will break out any change in value due to credit loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025, there was no change in value due to credit loss.

Financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis and the level of inputs used in such measurements by major security type as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are presented in the following tables (in thousands):

The Company classifies government and agency notes as Level 2 investments as the Company uses quoted prices for similar assets sourced from certain third-party pricing services. The third-party pricing services generally utilize industry standard valuation models for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate the price or fair value of the securities. The primary input generally includes reported trades or quotes on the same or similar securities. The Company does not make additional judgments or assumptions made to the pricing data sourced from the third-party pricing services.

The contingent consideration arrangement requires the Company to pay up to $485.0 million of additional consideration in cash, comprised of up to $5.0 million upon the enrollment of the first patient in the Phase 3 NEAT clinical trial, which was paid in 2024, $25.0 million at NDA acceptance, up to $60.0 million upon the achievement of specified approval milestones, and up to $395.0 million upon the achievement of specified on market and sales milestones. The Company owes no further payments to EryDel shareholders for development-related milestones. The remaining potential contingent payments in connection with the EryDel Acquisition pertain to approval, on market and sales milestones. As of March 31, 2026, no approval, on market, or sales milestones were met. As a result of the clinical readout of the Phase III NEAT study in January 2026 (see Note 1), the criteria for the contingent consideration payments will not be met, resulting in the related liability being reduced to zero.

 

To estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration, the Company used a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model with an expected present value valuation technique with significant unobservable fair value inputs and is therefore classified as a Level 3 measurement. The estimates of fair value are uncertain and changes in the estimated inputs may result in significant adjustments to the fair value. The unobservable inputs consisted of the expected timing of milestone completion dates, probability of achievement, and

discount rate. The change in the fair value of the contingent consideration is primarily due to the expected timing of achieving various milestones, and the passage of time related to the contingent consideration earnout resulting from the EryDel Acquisition.

To estimate the fair value of the EIB Loan, the Company used an expected present value valuation technique with significant unobservable inputs resulting in classification as a Level 3 measurement. The estimate of fair value is uncertain and changes in the estimated inputs may result in significant adjustments to the fair value. The unobservable inputs consisted of discount rate which includes the credit quality of the Company and credit spreads for comparable debt.

The following table summarizes the assumptions including the unobservable inputs related to the Company's debt in the periods presented:

Warrants

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued common and pre-funded warrants which are classified as liabilities based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 815. The Company estimates the fair value of the common and pre-funded warrants utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is dependent upon several Level 3 inputs that are not observable in active markets, such as expected term, volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires judgment to determine.

The following table summarizes key inputs used in the valuation of the liability classified warrants as of the issuance date and as of March 31, 2026:
