Liability Classified Warrants

Public Warrants

The Public Warrants were issued on October 22, 2021. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at a price of $115.00 per share, subject to adjustment. Once exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants in whole and not in part, at $0.01 per Public Warrant, upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $180.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading-day period, in which case the Company may require holders to exercise on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants expire on October 22, 2026 (the fifth anniversary of the Business Combination), unless earlier exercised or redeemed. Once expired, the Public Warrants will have no further value and will no longer be exercisable.

Private Placement Warrants

The Private Placement Warrants were issued on October 22, 2021 and are exercisable on a cashless basis and will be non-redeemable as long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are transferred to other holders, they become redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants expire on October 22, 2026 (the fifth anniversary of the Business Combination), unless earlier exercised or redeemed. Once expired, the Private Placement Warrants will have no further value and will no longer be exercisable.

September 2023 Purchase Agreement Warrants

The Preferred Tranche C Warrants were issued in connection with the Company’s September 2023 Purchase Agreement of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, in which the Company also issued Preferred Tranche A Warrants, Preferred Tranche B Warrants and Preferred Tranche C Warrants. The Preferred Tranche A Warrants were exercised or forfeited and the associated Preferred Tranche B Warrants were forfeited in 2023, leaving the Preferred Tranche C Warrants as the only tranche outstanding as of June 30, 2026. The

Preferred Tranche C Warrants expire on November 23, 2028, unless exercised or redeemed. Once expired, the Preferred Tranche C Warrants will have no further value and will no longer be exercisable.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had 107,115 Preferred Tranche C Warrants outstanding to purchase shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock having an aggregate exercise price of approximately $107.1 million.

Presentation and Valuation of the Warrants

Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants

The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and HedgingContracts in Entitys Own Equity and were presented within warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Changes in fair value are recognized within changes in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

The Company established the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants utilizing both the Black-Scholes Merton formula and a Monte Carlo Simulation (the “MCS”) analysis. Specifically, the Company considered an MCS to derive the implied volatility in the publicly-listed price of the Public Warrants. The Company then considered this implied volatility in selecting the volatility for the

application of a Black-Scholes Merton model for the Private Placement Warrants. The Company determined the fair value of the Public Warrants by reference to the quoted market price.

The Public Warrants were classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement, due to the use of the quoted market price, and the Private Placement Warrants held privately by assignees of Big Cypress Holdings LLC, were classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement, due to the use of unobservable inputs. See Note 11, Fair Value Measurements, for changes in fair value of the Private Placement Warrants.

The key inputs into the valuations as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, were as follows:

Series A Preferred Warrants

The Series A Preferred Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 480 and 815-40, Derivatives and HedgingContracts in Entitys Own Equity and are presented within warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Derivative-liability classification is required because, upon a fundamental transaction, the Company would be obligated to repurchase all outstanding Series A Preferred Warrants for cash equal to the Black-Scholes value of the unexercised portion of each warrant. Changes in fair value are recognized within changes in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

The Series A Preferred Warrants were classified as Level 3 fair value measurements, due to the use of unobservable inputs. See Note 11, Fair Value Measurements, for changes in fair value of the Preferred Warrants.

The key inputs utilized in determining the fair value of each Preferred Tranche C Warrant as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, were as follows:

Reflects a probability-weighted input derived from multiple Black-Scholes calculations. These calculations incorporate the Company’s estimated probability of survival, assuming SABS’ intellectual property yields positive results in forthcoming clinical trials, allowing the Company to continue as a going concern rather than face dissolution before 2028. The probability of survival was 57.5% and 40.0% as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
