U.S government debt and agency securities and commercial paper are classified as Level 2 as they were valued based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets.

Due to a contingent redemption right exercisable if the Company failed to obtain stockholder approval permitting the exercise of the Sermonix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Sermonix”) Pre‑Funded Warrant under Nasdaq Rule 5635(a) within one year of issuance, the warrant was classified as a liability pursuant to ASC 480 as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025 the Company determined the fair value of the Sermonix Pre-Funded Warrant based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock, adjusted for a discount for lack of marketability, and classified it as Level 3 due to the use of unobservable market data for identical or similar liabilities. Following receipt of stockholder approval on March 18, 2026, the redemption right lapsed and the Sermonix Pre‑Funded Warrant met the criteria for equity classification. Accordingly, the Company remeasured the warrant to fair value immediately prior to reclassification and reclassified the warrant to equity as of March 18, 2026. Following reclassification, the Sermonix Pre‑Funded Warrant is no longer subject to recurring fair value measurement.

The key inputs into the fair value of the Sermonix Pre-Funded Warrant at December 31, 2025 were as follows:

As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, Level 3 liabilities include the milestone payable to Sermonix pursuant to the Company’s license agreement executed on December 18, 2025 (the “Milestone Liability”). The Milestone Liability is classified as a liability under ASC 480 as the Company is contingently obligated to settle the milestone through the transfer of assets or issuance of a variable number of equity shares with a value equal to a fixed monetary amount.

The Company determines the fair value of the Milestone Liability based on the probability weighted present value of the net milestone payment and classifies as Level 3 due to the use of unobservable market data for identical or similar liabilities. The key inputs into the fair value of the Milestone Liability at December 31, 2025 and at June 30, 2026 were as follows:

The fair value of the Level 3 liabilities may change significantly as additional data is obtained. In evaluating this information, considerable judgment is required to interpret the data used to develop the assumptions and estimates. Accordingly, the use of different market assumptions and/or different valuation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts, and such changes could materially impact the Company’s results of operations in future periods.

All the commercial paper, U.S. government debt and agency securities, U.S. treasury bills, and corporate bonds designated as short-term investments have an effective maturity date that is equal to or less than one year from the respective balance sheet date.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company does not intend to sell any securities in unrealized loss positions, and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell such securities prior to the recovery of the amortized cost basis. Based on the Company's assessment, the Company concluded all impairments as of June 30, 2026 to be due to factors other than credit loss, such as changes in interest rates. A credit loss allowance was not recognized and the unrealized losses for available-for-sale securities were recorded in other comprehensive loss.
