| Description of Business, Organization and Liquidity | 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, ORGANIZATION AND LIQUIDITY Business Damora Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly known as Galecto, Inc.) is a biopharmaceutical company developing therapies for the treatment of hematological malignancies. As used in these financial statements, unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Damora Therapeutics, Inc. and its subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries were PharmAkea, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PharmAkea”), Damora Securities Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation, Damora Therapeutics, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Galecto Biotech AB, a Swedish company. Galecto Biotech ApS, a Danish operating company, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Galecto Biotech AB. Recent developments On November 10, 2025, the Company acquired Damora Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pre-Acquisition Damora”), in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 10, 2025 (the “Acquisition Agreement”), by and among the Company, Daylight Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Merger Sub”), Daylight Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Second Merger Sub”), and Pre-Acquisition Damora. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, First Merger Sub merged with and into Pre-Acquisition Damora, pursuant to which Pre-Acquisition Damora was the surviving corporation and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “First Merger”). Immediately following the First Merger, Pre-Acquisition Damora merged with and into Second Merger Sub, pursuant to which Second Merger Sub was the surviving entity (together with the First Merger, the “Asset Acquisition”). The Asset Acquisition is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, following the closing of the Asset Acquisition (the “Closing”), the Company issued to the stockholders of Pre-Acquisition Damora (i) 265,309 shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), (ii) 16,366 shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) (as described below), and (iii) 4,241 shares of Series C Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) (as described below), in the case (ii) and (iii), each share of which is convertible into 1,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to certain conditions described below. In connection with the Asset Acquisition, the Company also entered into a significant private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) transaction. The Company agreed to sell 39,641 shares of Series C Preferred Stock in the PIPE for approximately $285 million in gross proceeds. The PIPE closed on November 12, 2025. The Series C Preferred Stock are convertible into Common Stock at a ratio of 1,000 shares of Common Stock per share of Series C Preferred Stock, subject beneficial‑ownership limitations. On February 9, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved, among other proposals, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock. Following the special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, 42,005 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were automatically converted into 42,005,000 shares of Common Stock. On February 10, 2026, we also entered into an underwriting agreement with certain underwriters to issue and sell 16,644,737 shares of Common Stock, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase an additional 2,171,052 shares, at a public offering price of $19.00 per share. The underwritten offering closed on February 12, 2026. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $295.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses of the offering of $20.8 million. Following a review of the Company’s product candidate portfolio in March 2026, the Company has determined to focus on its mutant forms of the calcium binding protein calreticulin (“mutCALR”) portfolio to address the full mutCALR myeloproliferative neoplasm (“MPN”) disease spectrum and has deprioritized continued development of GB3226.
Risks and uncertainties 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. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel infrastructure and extensive compliance reporting capabilities. The Company’s product candidates are in development. 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, that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval or that any approved products 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. 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. Liquidity and management plans Since inception, the Company has devoted substantially all its efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff and raising capital, and has financed its operations primarily through the issuance of preferred shares, debt financings, the Company’s initial public offering and sales of Common Stock. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $515.1 million, from recurring losses since inception in 2011. The Company has incurred recurring losses and has not generated revenue as no products have obtained the necessary regulatory approval in order to market products. The Company expects to continue to incur losses as a result of costs and expenses related to the Company’s clinical development and corporate general and administrative activities. The Company had negative cash flows from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 of $20.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and current projections indicate that the Company will have continued negative cash flows for the foreseeable future as it continues to fund operating expenses. Net losses incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 amounted to $27.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively. At March 31, 2026, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $532.9 million, current assets amounted to $535.4 million and current liabilities amounted to $23.8 million. At December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $257.6 million, current assets amounted to $260.4 million and current liabilities amounted to $20.1 million.
Based on current operating plans, the Company has sufficient resources to fund operations for at least one year from the issuance date of these financial statements with existing cash and cash equivalents. The Company will need to secure additional financing in the future to fund additional research and development, and before a commercial drug can be produced, marketed and sold. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing or generate license or product revenue, the lack of liquidity could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Increase in authorized shares On February 9, 2026, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 300,000,000 to 500,000,000. |
