1. Organization and Nature of the Business

Adicet Bio, Inc. (formerly resTORbio, Inc. (resTORbio), together with its subsidiaries, the Company) is a clinical stage biotechnology company discovering and developing allogeneic gamma delta T cell therapies for autoimmune diseases and cancer. The Company is advancing a pipeline of “off-the-shelf” gamma delta T cells, engineered with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), to facilitate durable activity in patients.

Adicet Bio, Inc. (when referred to prior to the merger, Former Adicet) was incorporated in November 2014 in Delaware. On September 15, 2020, Former Adicet completed a merger (Merger) with resTORbio, pursuant to which Former Adicet merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of resTORbio in an all-stock transaction with Former Adicet surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of resTORbio and changing its name to “Adicet Therapeutics, Inc.” (Adicet Therapeutics). In connection with the Merger, the Company changed its name from “resTORbio, Inc.” to “Adicet Bio, Inc.” The Company’s principal executive offices are located in Boston, Massachusetts. The Company also has offices in Redwood City, California.

Adicet Bio Israel Ltd. (formerly Applied Immune Technologies Ltd.) (Adicet Israel) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is located in Haifa, Israel. Adicet Israel was founded in 2006. During 2019, the Company consolidated its operations, including research and development activities, in the United States and as a result, substantially reduced its operations in Israel.

Adicet (Shanghai) Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Adicet Shanghai) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Adicet Therapeutics and is located in Shanghai, China. Adicet Shanghai was founded in May 2024.

In May 2024, the Company initiated research and development activities in China through a series of contractual agreements entered into and among Shanghai Adicet Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Adicet), a variable interest entity, Adicet Shanghai, and the shareholders of Shanghai Adicet. The Company was the primary beneficiary of Shanghai Adicet which was considered a consolidated entity under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). In July 2025, Adicet Therapeutics entered into an equity transfer agreement with the then-stockholders of Shanghai Adicet to acquire 100% equity interests of Shanghai Adicet from its then-stockholders (the Acquisition). In connection with the Acquisition, tax filings and registration were completed in August 2025. In August 2025, upon completion of the registration, Shanghai Adicet is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Adicet Therapeutics and will continue to conduct research and development activities in China. The transaction did not have a material impact on the financial statements. The Company consolidates the financial results of this entity into its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred significant net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $634.9 million as of March 31, 2026. The Company has historically financed its operations primarily through a collaboration and licensing arrangement, public and private placements of equity securities and debt, and cash received in the Merger with resTORbio. To date, none of the Company’s product candidates have been approved for sale and therefore the Company has not generated any revenue from product sales. Management expects operating losses and negative cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future, until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales of its product candidates currently in development.

On March 12, 2021, the Company entered into a Capital On Demand™ Sales Agreement (the JonesTrading Sales Agreement) with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC, as sales agent, to provide for the offering, issuance and sale of up to an aggregate amount of $75.0 million of shares of common stock from time to time in “at-the-market” (ATM) offerings. In August 2022, pursuant to the JonesTrading Sales Agreement and subject to the limitations thereof, the Company sold an aggregate of 163,233 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (common stock), at $275.68 per share resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $43.4 million after deducting sales agent commissions and expenses. In November 2022, the Company filed a new prospectus supplement to the 2021 Shelf Registration Statement for the offer and sale of up to $100.0 million of shares of common stock from time to time through the sales agent, which includes the $30.0 million of shares of common stock not sold under the original prospectus and up to an additional $70.0 million of shares of common stock (the JonesTrading ATM Program). In January 2024, the Company raised aggregate net proceeds of

approximately $19.3 million through the JonesTrading ATM Program. In March 2024, the Company terminated the JonesTrading ATM Program.

On January 22, 2024, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) with Jefferies LLC (Jefferies) and Guggenheim Securities, LLC (Guggenheim), as representatives of the underwriters (the 2024 Underwriters), related to an underwritten public offering (the Offering) of 1,690,917 shares (the Shares) of common stock, and, in lieu of common stock to an investor, pre-funded warrants (the Pre-Funded Warrants) to purchase 527,833 shares of common stock (the Warrant Shares). The Shares were sold at a public offering price of $38.40 per share and the Pre-Funded Warrants were sold at a public offering price of $38.3984 per underlying share, which represents the per share public offering price of each share of common stock minus the $0.0016 per share exercise price for each pre-funded warrant. The purchase price paid by the 2024 Underwriters to the Company was $36.096 per Share and $36.0944 per Pre-Funded Warrant, representing a discount to the 2024 Underwriters of 6.0%. In addition, the Company granted the 2024 Underwriters an option exercisable for 30 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement to purchase, at the public offering price less underwriting discounts and commissions, up to an additional 332,813 shares of common stock. On January 23, 2024, the 2024 Underwriters exercised this option in full. The Company received net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and commissions and other offering expenses, of approximately $91.7 million. The Company may receive nominal proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

In March 2024, the Company entered into an Open Market Sales AgreementSM (the Jefferies Sales Agreement) with Jefferies to sell shares of its common stock from time to time, through an ATM equity offering program under which Jefferies will act as sales agent or principal. As of March 31, 2026, no shares of common stock have been sold under the Jefferies Sales Agreement.

On October 7, 2025, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the 2025 Underwriting Agreement) with Jefferies and Guggenheim, as representatives of the underwriters (the 2025 Underwriters), related to an underwritten registered direct offering (the 2025 Offering) of 4,375,062 shares (the 2025 Shares) of common stock, and, in lieu of common stock to an investor, pre-funded warrants (the 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants) to purchase 625,000 shares of common stock (the 2025 Warrant Shares). The 2025 Shares were sold at a price of $16.00 per share and the 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants were sold at a price of $15.9984 per underlying share, which represents the per share offering price of each share of common stock minus the $0.0016 per share exercise price for each pre-funded warrant. The purchase price paid by the 2025 Underwriters to the Company was $15.04 per 2025 Share and $15.03856 per 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant, representing a discount to the 2025 Underwriters of 6.0%. The Company received net proceeds from the 2025 Offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and commissions and other offering expenses, of approximately $74.8 million. The Company may receive nominal proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants.

The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in treasury securities will be sufficient to fund its forecasted operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

All of the Company’s revenue to date has been generated from a collaboration and license agreement (the Regeneron Agreement) with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc, (Regeneron). The Company does not expect to generate any significant product revenue until it obtains regulatory approval of and commercializes any of the Company’s product candidates or enters into additional collaborative agreements with third parties, and it does not know when, or if, either will occur. The Company expects to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future, and it expects the losses to increase as the Company continues the development of, and seeks regulatory approvals for, its product candidates and begins to commercialize any approved products. The Company is subject to all of the risks typically related to the development of new product candidates, including, but not limited to, raising additional capital, development by its competitors of new technological innovations, risk of failure in preclinical and clinical studies, safety and efficacy of its product candidates in clinical trials, the risk of relying on external parties such as contract research organizations (CROs) and contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs), the regulatory approval process, market acceptance of the Company’s products once approved, lack of marketing and sales history, dependence on key personnel and protection of proprietary technology and it may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown factors that may adversely affect its business.

Until such time as the Company can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, the Company expects to finance its operations through the sale of equity, debt financings, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate or other sources of financing. Adequate funding may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. The Company’s failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on its financial condition and the Company’s ability

to pursue its business strategies. Although the Company continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the Company to fund continuing operations, if at all.
