Liquidity

 

The Company has incurred significant losses since inception. Operations to date have been funded primarily through the sale of common stock, convertible preferred stock, warrants, the issuance of convertible debt and, to a lesser extent, from development contract revenues, product sales, and licensing activities.

 

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had total liquidity of $46.1 million comprised of cash and cash equivalents, which excludes restricted cash, and approximately $42.0 million availability under its current at-the-market (“ATM”) facility as of March 31, 2026, subject to certain conditions, including ongoing listing on The Nasdaq Global Market. On October 23, 2024, the Company issued $45.0 million in senior secured convertible notes for gross proceeds of $41.4 million. Additionally, in February 2026, the Company entered into a securities purchase and exchange agreement with an institutional investor, pursuant to which the Company issued two senior secured convertible notes due March 2028 – one for approximately $20.6 million in exchange for the previously existing senior secured convertible note due March 2026 and the other for approximately $22.4 million. See Note 7. Notes Payable and Derivative Liability for additional discussion. Pursuant to terms of the securities purchase and exchange agreement, the Company will maintain minimum cash liquidity of the lesser of $21.5 million or 110% of the then outstanding balance of the senior secured convertible notes for the remaining duration of their term.

 

Based on the current operating plan, including expected financing activities, the Company anticipates having sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.
