TEVOGEN生物控股公司
附注 至未经审核的合并基本报表
注意 1. 业务性质
Tevogen生物控股有限公司,一家特拉华州企业(以下简称“公司”),是一家临床专业免疫治疗公司,利用CD8+细胞毒性T淋巴球的潜力开发离架、精准的T细胞治疗产品,用于治疗传染性疾病和癌症。公司的精准T细胞技术ExacTcell是一套过程和方法论,用于开发、丰富和扩展单一人类白细胞抗原受限的CTL疗法,并选择性地确定目标。公司已完成了ExacTcell的首个临床产品TVGN 489的Phase 1概念验证试验,用于治疗行动力强、高风险的成年COVID-19患者,并且在其产品管线中还有其他候选产品。
于2024年2月14日(「结束日期」),根据于2023年6月28日签署的合并协议和计划(「合并协议」),Semper Paratus Acquisition Corporation(「Semper Paratus」)、Semper Merger Sub, Inc. (Semper Paratus的全资子公司)SSVk Associates, LLC(「赞助商」) Tevogen Bio Inc(现称Tevogen Bio Inc.)(「Tevogen Bio」)及以卖方代表身份的Ryan Saadi 博士,Merger Sub 合并并纳入Tevogen Bio,使Tevogen Bio成为生存公司,并成为该公司的全资子公司(「合并」,以及根据合并协议规定的其他交易一同进行的「业务组合」),并将Semper Paratus更名为Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc。
在业务合并(“完成”)结束之际,Tevogen Bio的所有普通股被按照约等比率转换为公司的普通股。 每股Tevogen Bio普通股可换取股公司普通股股份(“交换比率”)。有关业务合并的更多信息请参见附注4。
如第4号附注所述,此次合并被视为一项反向资本重组,根据此,合并前公司的历史基本报表为Tevogen Bio的基本报表。所有与Tevogen Bio在成交前的普通股相关的信息,以及在合并的基本报表及其附注中呈现的内容,已经追溯调整以反映交易所比例。
在合并后,Tevogen Bio的前股权持有者和可转换票据持有者持有
注意 2。 发展阶段风险与流动性
自成立以来,该公司一直出现亏损和负的营运现金流。该公司预计在能从目前开发中的产品候选项中产生显著销售之前,将继续出现额外的亏损。管理层认为,截至2024年9月30日,以及在2024年6月签订的贷款协议(如第7条所定义),使该公司能够进行400万美元的分期贷款,每月分期160000美元,总计1600万美元,将使该公司在未经审计的合并财务报表发布之后的至少下一年中营运获得足够的现金和财务资源。该公司不打算在获得额外资金之前启动临床试验。
管理层 定期评估不同的策略,以获得运营的资金,用于后续期间。这些策略可能包括但不限于私募发行证券、许可及/或行销安排、与其他药品或生物技术公司的合作伙伴关系,以及公开发售证券。公司可能无法以可接受的条件获得融资,且公司可能无法以有利的条件进入战略联盟或其他安排。任何融资的条件可能对公司的股东的持股或权利产生不利影响。如果公司无法获得足够的资金,公司可能需要延迟、减少或取消研究和开发计划、产品组合扩展或未来的商业化努力,这可能会对其业务前景造成不利影响。
自成立以来,公司的运营主要包括组织公司、筹集资金、开发授权技术、进行研究、执行临床前研究和临床试验,以及追求并完成业务合并。该公司面临与任何专业生物技术公司相关的风险,这些公司需要大量开支进行研究和开发。 公司的研究和开发项目可能不会成功,开发的产品可能无法获得必要的监管批准,而且任何获得批准的产品可能无法具备商业可行性。此外,该公司在快速技术变革的环境中运营,并在很大程度上依赖其员工和顾问的服务。

备注 3。 重要会计政策摘要
可在公司于2024年4月29日提交给证券交易委员会的8-K/A表格中的附件99.1中找到的年度基本报表中包含的重大会计政策摘要,未有实质变动,除下列情况外:
报表说明基础
公司的附注未经审核的综合财务报表系按照美国公认会计原则(“GAAP”)呈现,适用于中期财务资讯,并根据美国证券交易委员会的规则和法规展示。在这些附注中,对适用准则的提及是指GAAP,即会计准则法典(“ASC”) 和财务会计准则委员会(“FASB”) 的会计准则更新(“ASU”)。管理层认为,附注的未经审核的综合财务报表包括所有调整事项,主要由常规性重复性的事项(主要包括应计项目、估计和对综合财务报表有影响的假设)组成,这些调整对于公平呈现所述期间的财务状况、营运结果和现金流量是必要的。附注的未经审核的综合财务报表应与Tevogen Bio的财务报表及管理层关于财务状况和营业结果的讨论一并阅读,该讨论作为提交的8-k表格附件99.1和99.2。所呈现的期间内的中期结果未必代表截至2024年12月31日结束之年度的预期结果,或任何未来中期期间的结果。
使用估计值
在遵循GAAP准则准备未经审核的合并基本报表时,管理层需要进行影响资产和负债报告金额、条件性资产和负债披露以及费用报告金额的估计和假设。实际结果可能与这些估计不同。估计和假设定期审核,并且对修订的影响会在确定有必要时反映在未经审核的合并基本报表中。
重要的 需要管理层估算的领域包括合并前普通股和可转换票据的公允价值、系列A优先股、系列B优先股和系列C优先股的公允价值、根据贷款协议的购买期权的公允价值、以股本为基础的补偿假设、财产和设备的预估使用寿命以及应计的研究和开发费用。
自由挂牌 和嵌入式普通股购买期权
与公司债务协议相关的股权连动购买期权根据ASC 815进行评估,以判断它们是否为独立存在或与母体工具内嵌。 企业在自有股本中的衍生品和避险合同(“ASC 815”)。每种类型的购买期权在ASC 815下进行股权或负债分类的评估。 公司的内嵌和独立存在的购买期权被判定为负债分类的衍生工具,并在发行日和每个后续资产负债表日进行公平价值衡量,公允价值变动记录在综合损益表和综合现金流量表中的‘撰写看涨期权衍生负债的公平价值变动’中。
信用风险的集中
财务 工具可能使公司面临显著的信贷风险集中,主要包括现金。公司在联邦保险的金融机构中持有超过联邦保险限额的存款。公司在这些账户中未经历过任何损失,并相信其现金不面临显著风险。
分部报告
营运
分 Segment定义为一个实体的元件,该元件的具体财务资讯是可得的,并且经常由其首席营运决策者或决策小组进行审查。公司以其业务进行运营和管理

认股权证
由于合并的结果,公司按照ASC 815和ASC 480的规定,对最初作为Semper Paratus首次公开募股(“IPO”)一部分出售的warrants进行会计处理, 区分负债和权益 (“ASC 480”)。此评估考虑warrants是否为独立的金融工具,并根据ASC 480的定义满足负债的条件,以及是否符合ASC 815下的所有股权分类条件,包括warrants是否以公司的普通股为指数,还有其他条件。这项评估需要专业判断,并在warrant发行的时候及之后每个季度结算日进行,当warrants仍然有效时。对于符合所有股权分类条件的已发行或修改的warrants,必须在发行时作为额外已付资本的组成部分进行记录。对于不符合所有股权分类条件的已发行或修改的warrants,必须在发行日以其初始公允价值进行记录,并在随后的每个资产负债表日保持至结算。warrants的公允价值变动将作为非现金损失在综合收益表中确认。在这些标准下,公司在IPO时出售的定向增发warrants不符合股权分类的标准,必须记录为负债,而在IPO相关的公共warrants则符合股权分类标准,必须记录为股权。
公平 值量测
根据GAAP,某些资产和负债是按公允值列报。公允值定义为在计量日期当中,在资产或负债的主要或最有利市场进行有秩序交易的市场参与者可能接收的价格(资产)或支付的价格(负债,离市价)。公司使用的评估技术最大限度地利用可观测的输入,尽可能减少不可观测的输入。在公允值衡量时考虑市场参与者假设时,以下公允值阶层区分可观测和不可观测输入,这些输入分类为以下水平之一:
等级 1 | 未调整的 在活跃市场中对相同资产或负债的报价。 |
等级 2 | 可观察的 除了第1级价格之外的输入,例如在活跃市场中对类似但不相同的资产或负债的报价; 在不活跃市场中对相同或类似的资产或负债的报价;或者其他可以观察的输入 或者可以由可观察的市场数据进行证明的输入; |
等级 3 | 不可观察的 输入中几乎没有或没有市场数据可用,并且需要公司自行开发市场参与者在为资产或负债定价时将使用的假设。 |
财务 在资产负债表上以历史金额确认的金融工具包括应付帐款和应付票据。公司相信,由于这些工具的短期性质,应付帐款和应付票据的账面价值大致接近其公平价值。
公司的重复公允价值测量包括合并前的可转换本票,该公司选择了公允价值选项以减少会计复杂性,以及合并后的私人warrants。这些公允价值测量属于第3级输入。以下表格提供了公司可转换本票的总体公允价值的滚动变化。

该公司的非经常性公允价值测量包括A系列优先股。该等公允价值测量属于第3级输入。
公司使用蒙特卡罗模拟(“MCS”)来确定A系列优先股的公允价值。MCS中用于估算A系列优先股公允价值的关键输入包括波动率的区间,介于
公司使用了一种MCS评估方法来确定独立的$的公平价值。
公司通过将净亏损除以期内加权平均流通普通股数来计算基本每股净亏损。公司确定每股流通的优先股和限制性普通股将参与可分配给普通股股东的收益,但不会参与亏损。公司通过将净亏损除以期内加权平均普通股数量的总和,并加上任何潜在的稀释效果,来计算稀释每股净亏损。
最近 发布的会计标准
于2020年8月,FASB发布了ASU No. 2020-06,《Debt - 债务转换和其他期权(Subtopic 470-20)及Derivatives and Hedging - 实体自家资本中的合同(Subtopic 815-40):关于可转换工具和实体自家资本中的合同之会计》(“ASU 2020-06”),该准则通过减少可转换工具的会计模型数量,简化可转换工具的会计处理。ASU 2020-06也取消了计算可转换工具稀释每股盈利的库藏股票法,并要求使用已转换法。公司于2024年1月1日生效采用了ASU 2020-06,且该采用对其合并财务报表和相关披露没有产生影响。 (2020-06)》用于简化可转换工具的会计处理,减少可转换债务工具可选用的会计模型数量。ASU 2020-06也取消了利用库藏股票法计算可转换工具稀释每股盈利,并要求使用已转换方法。自2024年1月1日起,公司采用了ASU 2020-06,该准则的采用对其合并财务报表和相关披露没有产生影响。 (“ASU 2020-06”)简化了可转换工具的会计处理,通过减少可转换债务工具可选的会计模型数量。ASU 2020-06也取消了用库藏股票法计算可转换工具稀释每股盈利,并要求使用转换后法。截至2024年1月1日,公司适用了ASU 2020-06,该采用对其合并基本报表和相关披露没有影响。

在 2023年11月,FASB 发布了 ASU 第2023-07号, 分部报告(主题280):改善可报告分部披露 (“ASU 2023-07”)。ASU 2023-07通过要求披露重要部门支出、首席营运决策者资讯和具有单一可报告部门的实体所需的披露等方式增强了可报告部门披露。此外,修订增加了中期披露要求,澄清了实体可以在何种情况下披露多个部门损益指标,并包含其他披露要求。ASU 2023-07将于2023年12月15日后开始的财政年度起生效,并适用于2024年12月15日后开始的财政年度内的中期期间。公司预计采用ASU 2023-07对其合并财务报表和相关披露不会产生实质影响。
注意 4. 业务合并
在结案日,公司完成了第1条所描述的业务组合。由于Tevogen Bio被视为根据Merger条款和其他因素,包括Merger后,Tevogen Bio的前股东和持有可转换应收票据约占公司的%(i),董事构成公司董事会的多数(七人中的六人)(ii),以及管理阶层拥有公司所有关键管理职位(iii)的会计并表,Merger被视为根据GAAP进行的逆向资本重组。因此,Merger被视为Tevogen Bio发行股票以收购Semper Paratus的净资产的等同行为。由于Merger,Semper Paratus的净负债按其收购当日的公允价值记录在合并财务报表中,Merger之前报告的营运结果为Tevogen Bio的营运结果。经过Merger后,公司的普通股总共有

概览
我们是一家临床阶段的专业免疫疗法公司,利用自然界中最强大的免疫武器之一——CD8+细胞毒性T淋巴细胞(“CD8+ CTLs”),开发现成的、精准的T细胞治疗药物,以治疗传染病和癌症,旨在满足广大患者群体的重大未满足需求。我们相信,在即将到来的医学时代,持续性和商业成功将依赖于通过先进的科学、创新的商业模式以及在开发生命周期和医疗系统中的参与,确保患者的可达性。我们认为,T细胞疗法的全部潜力仍然大部分未被开发,期待成为第一家提供在商业上具有吸引力、经济上可行且具有成本效益的个性化T细胞疗法的生物技术公司。
我们 相信我们的同种异体精准T细胞技术ExacTcell是有资格参加FORTITUDE-OLE代表了一项重大的科学突破,具有将细胞疗法主流化的潜力,采用新类别的即用型、制造和存储的T细胞疗法,能够广泛应用于病毒学、肿瘤学和神经学。ExacTcell是一套开发、富集和扩展单个人类白细胞抗原(“HLA”)限制的CTL疗法的流程和方法,采用主动选择、精确定义的靶点。 HLA分子是对免疫系统识别“自我”和“外部”非常重要的蛋白质。HLA类型因人而异。CD8+ CTL,即杀伤性T细胞,是白血球的一种,属于免疫系统的一部分,能够摧毁感染、恶性或受损细胞。我们专注于使用ExacTcell开发同种异体治疗,意味着这些治疗是计划输注给非原始供体的患者。
18 |
ExacTcell 疗法基于仔细选择的、自然存在的CTL,能够识别来自身体的天然T细胞受体池中的靶点,不同于基因工程的T细胞疗法。ExacTcell-based产品中的CD8+ CTL针对多个独特的抗原,旨在规避病毒和癌细胞中的突变对现有治疗效果的影响。 ExacTcell旨在最大化我们产品的免疫特异性,以便消灭恶性和病毒感染的细胞,同时让健康细胞保持完整。我们相信这种高特异性有潜力显著降低交叉反应或对健康细胞的不良影响的风险。我们对ExacTcell的信心在于我们的研发管线,这些管线经过精心调整以解决大量面临生命威胁的病毒疾病、病毒和非病毒引发的癌症以及多发性硬化症等神经障碍患者的未满足需求。通过我们的Tevogen.AI人工智能计划,我们正在探索利用人工智能推动目标检测,以进一步加快我们的产品开发进度,或者与人工智能领域的领先实体合作,例如通过我们最近宣布的加入微软初创企业项目。
The first clinical product of ExacTcell, TVGN 489, is being developed to fill a critical gap in COVID-19 therapeutics for the immunocompromised and the high-risk elderly, with potential applications in both treatment and prevention of chronic lingering symptoms of the disease (“Long COVID”). Viruses, including COVID-19, hijack cellular machinery to transform infected cells into virus production plants. Elimination of infected cells is necessary to allow them to be replaced by healthy, uninfected counterparts. TVGN 489 consists of CTLs active against multiple precise, well defined, and well characterized targets across the SARS-CoV-2 genome. The product progressed from pre-discovery to the clinic in less than 18 months, and in January 2023, we completed the Phase 1 proof-of-concept clinical trial of TVGN 489 for the treatment of ambulatory, high-risk adult COVID-19 patients. No dose-limiting toxicities or significant treatment-related adverse events were observed in the treatment arm. Secondary endpoints showing a rapid reduction of viral load and that infusion of TVGN 489 did not prevent development of the patients’ own t cell-related (cellular) or antibody-related (humoral) anti-COVID-19 immunity were also met. None of the patients who participated in the trial reported progression of infection, reinfection, or the development of Long COVID during the six-month follow-up period. These clinical observations were mirrored by laboratory evidence of the persistence of TVGN 489 cells for at least six months after treatment. The results of the trial were submitted for peer-review and were published in Blood Advances in June 2024. We believe these findings validate our initiative to develop off-the-shelf t cell therapies for outpatient administration, targeting diseases that affect large patient populations – for the very first time. We plan to launch a pivotal trial of TVGN 489 in COVID-19 patients with b cell malignancies, with studies of other highly vulnerable populations thereafter. TVGN 489 is also in pre-clinical development for treatment and prevention of Long COVID, and we have other product candidates in our pipeline for other indications.
我们的商业成功在某种程度上依赖于我们获得和维持专利及其他对我们专有知识产权的保护,以保障已开发的产品和科学方法,保护我们的商业秘密的机密性,确保在不侵犯、窃取或以其他方式违反他人有效、可强制执行的专有权利的情况下运营,并防止他人侵犯、窃取或以其他方式违反我们的专有权利。我们阻止第三方不当制造、使用、销售、提议销售或进口无权进行的产品的能力可能取决于我们在有效且可强制执行的专利或商业秘密下所拥有的权利的范围,这些权利覆盖这些活动。
我们继续构建我们的知识产权组合,并通过申请专利等方式寻求保护我们的专有地位。我们的专利组合包括与我们的产品候选者、使用方法及产品候选者的制备方法相关的专利和专利申请。迄今为止,我们的美国知识产权组合包括三项与治疗COVID-19的TVGN 489相关的美国专利,九项待审的美国专利申请,包括两项与治疗COVID-19相关的专利申请、五项与治疗其他病毒或癌症相关的专利申请,以及两项与人工智能驱动的t细胞靶向识别和受体结合相关的专利申请。我们的组合还包括十一项美国以外的专利申请,包括在澳大利亚、加拿大、欧洲、日本、卡塔尔和阿拉伯联合酋长国的申请,涉及病毒特异性t细胞、治疗和预防病毒感染的方法,以及开发对多种病毒表位的CD3+CD+细胞以治疗病毒感染的方法,预计到期日为2042年7月29日。
在美国,我们的三项已授予的实用专利,所有专利于2040年12月9日到期,分别是:覆盖使用COVID-19肽特异性CTLs治疗COVID-19感染的方法的美国专利号11,191,827;覆盖COVID-19肽特异性CTLs的美国专利号11,207,401;以及覆盖制造COVID-19肽特异性CTLs的方法的美国专利号11,219,684。美国的一项待审实用专利申请,针对病毒特异性t细胞及治疗和预防病毒感染的方法,预计于2041年12月9日到期。此外,我们已向美国专利商标局申请“Tevogen Bio”(及设计)、“ExacTcell”和“Tevogen AI”的注册商标保护。
我们根据个案情况确定专利索赔范围的战略,考虑到法律顾问的建议和我们的商业模式。我们提交包含对我们自有技术及任何产品候选者有益应用保护的索赔的专利申请,包括我们为现有技术和产品候选者发现的新应用或用途,基于对其战略价值的评估。我们持续重新评估专利申请的数量和类型,以及我们的待审和已发专利索赔,以确保针对我们的过程和组合获得最大覆盖和价值,考虑到现有的专利局规则和规定。
由于上述专利是内部开发的,与其开发相关的历史支出均按照美国普遍公认会计原则(“GAAP”)按发生时费用化。我们认为这些专利作为我们产品管道的基础具有重大价值。我们对管道的持续投资突显了我们对这些产品未来商业可行性的信心。

2024年2月14日(“结束日期”),根据2023年6月28日签订的《合并协议和计划》(“合并协议”),Semper Paratus、Semper Merger子公司、Semper Paratus全资子公司(“合并子公司”)、SSVk Associates, LLC、Tevogen Bio和Ryan Saadi博士(作为卖方代表)之间进行合并,并且合并子公司与Tevogen Bio合并,Tevogen Bio成为存续公司,同时也是Semper Paratus的全资子公司(“合并”,以及合并协议拟定的其他交易,称为“业务组合”),Semper Paratus更名为Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc.(“结束”)。有关通过合并获取的净资产的更多信息,请参阅我们的本季度未经审计的合并财务报表附注4。由于公司被确定为会计收购方,合并按照GAAP标准被视为反向重组。
自2020年6月开始运营以来,我们已经将几乎所有的精力和财力投入到建立公司治理、招募基本人员、建立研发能力(包括获得实验室空间和设备)、进行科学研究、获得与我们的药物候选产品和ExacTcell相关的发明的知识产权、进行药物发现(包括临床前研究和我们TVGN 489的一期临床试验)、筹集资金以及追求业务合并。
截至目前,我们尚未产生任何营业收入。我们截至2024年和2023年9月30日的三个月净亏损分别为590万和390万美金。2024年9月30日的三个月净亏损主要归因于610万的运营亏损。我们截至2024年和2023年9月30日的九个月净亏损分别为430万和5680万美金。2024年9月30日的九个月净亏损主要归因于4420万的运营亏损,主要是由于在某些股票奖励中与流动性事件控件相关的非现金股权补偿费用被确认,该控件在业务组合关闭时得以满足,以及与业务组合相关的750万美金的交易成本,部分被4850万的可转换票据公允价值变化抵消。截至2024年9月30日,我们的现金为230万美金。
2024年2月14日,我们与Patel Family LLP(“Patel Family”)签订了一份证券购买协议,根据该协议,Patel Family购买了我们500股A轮优先股,总购买价为200万美元。2024年3月27日,我们与Patel Family签订了修订后的证券购买协议,根据该协议,我们修改并重订了原协议,Patel Family同意购买我们600股A-1轮优先股,总购买价为600万美元,其中截至2024年11月19日,已收到300万美元。2024年8月21日,我们与Patel Family签订了一份证券购买协议,投资者购买了我们600股C轮优先股,总购买价为600万美元。
如详述于“流动性与资本资源 - 融资需求”下,我们于2024年6月6日与Patel家族签订了贷款协议(“贷款协议”),提供(i) 无担保信用额度(“额度”),根据该额度,Patel家族同意每月借给我们最高初始金额为3600万美元(“最高贷款金额”)的定期贷款,以100万美元的增量,在为期三十六个月的提款期内,以及(ii) Patel家族在未来私募中购买至少1400万美元的我们普通股(面值$0.0001每股)(“普通股”)的附带选项(“可选PIPE”)。贷款协议还包含Patel家族在普通股的十天移动加权平均价格(“移动VWAP”)达到每股10美元时,在未来私募中购买至少1400万美元的普通股加上额度下当时剩余可用金额的附带选项。根据贷款协议的条款,公司还向Patel家族发行了1,000,000股普通股作为承诺费用(“承诺股份”),如Patel家族未能(i) 按时在额度下进行存款或(ii) 在阈值价格通知日期(如贷款协议中定义)后30天内支付可选PIPE的购买价格,则Patel家族需放弃承诺股份或等量的普通股。
根据本报告日期的现金情况,以及2024年10月出售系列C优先股收到的200万美元,和我们的贷款协议,我们得出结论,认为我们有足够的现金为我们的运营提供至少12个月的资金,自发行未经审计的合并财务报表之日起。
我们预计在获得市场批准或其他授权,并成功商业化TVGN 489或其他产品候选之前,不会产生产品收入。我们预计将产生与扩展研发能力、建设制造基础设施(包括通过收购)和开发商业化组织(包括报销、市场营销、受管市场和分销功能,以及培训和部署专业医学科学联络团队)相关的费用。

2024年6月14日,我们收到了纳斯达克上市资格部门(“工作人员”)的信函,通知我们 根据我们普通股在过去35个连续交易日的收盘出价,未再满足纳斯达克继续上市的每股1.00美元最低出价要求(“最低出价要求”)。该信函对我们普通股的上市及持有的可公开认购普通股的权利没有立即影响,且我们在收到信函后获得了180个日历天的初步合规期,即截至2024年12月11日,以重新达到最低出价要求。 2024年10月28日,我们接到了工作人员的信函,通知我们已满足最低出价要求。 信函确认,从2024年10月14日至2024年10月25日,我们普通股的收盘出价已达到每股1.00美元或更高,因此我们已重新满足最低出价要求,该事项已结案。
我们经营的业务在一个可报告的业务部门内进行,这与我们的管理层审查业务、做出投资和资源分配决策以及评估业绩的方式一致。
收入
截至目前,我们尚未产生任何收入,且除非我们获得市场营销批准或其他授权,并商业化TVGN 489或其他候选产品,否则我们预计不会从产品销售中产生任何收入。

Research and development activities are central to the biotechnology business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages, primarily due to the increased study sizes, which also leads generally to longer patient enrollment times in later-stage clinical trials. We expect our research and development expenses to increase over the next several years as we increase manufacturing, shipping, and storage of clinical batches required for clinical trials, personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, conduct planned clinical trials for TVGN 489 and other clinical and pre-clinical activities for other product candidates, and prepare regulatory filings for any of our product candidates.
The successful development of our current or future product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing, and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the development of any product candidates. The success of TVGN 489 and our other product candidates will depend on several factors, including the following:
● | with respect to products other than TVGN 489, successfully completing pre-clinical studies; | |
● | successfully initiating future clinical trials; | |
● | successfully enrolling patients in and completing clinical trials; | |
● | applying for and receiving marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities; |
21 |
● | obtaining and maintaining intellectual property protection and regulatory exclusivity for TVGN 489 and any other product candidates we are developing or may develop in the future and enforcing, defending, and protecting these rights; | |
● | making arrangements with third-party manufacturers, or establishing adequate commercial manufacturing capabilities; | |
● | establishing sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities and launching sales of our products, if and when approved, whether alone or in collaboration with others; | |
● | market adoption of TVGN 489 and any other product candidates, if and when approved, by patients and the medical community; | |
● | competing effectively with potential therapeutic alternatives in our target disease areas; and | |
● | adequate reimbursement by private and public payors including health technology appraisal entities in non-U.S. countries. |
A change in the outcome of any of these variables concerning the development, manufacturing, or commercialization activities of a product candidate could result in a change in the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. For example, if we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testing of our product candidates beyond those that we currently contemplate, if we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidates or other testing, if the results of these trials or tests are not positive or are only modestly positive, if there are safety concerns or if we determine that the observed safety or efficacy profile would not be competitive in the marketplace, we could be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development. We anticipate that product commercialization may take several years, and we expect to spend a significant amount in development costs.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel expenses, which include salaries, benefits, and stock-based long term incentive compensation for employees. These expenses also encompass corporate facility costs such as rent, utilities, depreciation, and maintenance, as well as costs not classified under research and development expenses. Legal fees pertaining to intellectual property and corporate matters, as well as fees for accounting and consulting services, are also included in general and administrative expenses.
We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future to support our continued research and development activities, potential commercialization efforts, and increased costs of operating as a public company. These increases will likely include increased costs related to the hiring of additional personnel and fees to outside consultants, lawyers, accountants, and recruitment firms, among other expenses. Increased costs associated with being a public company will also include expenses related to services associated with maintaining compliance with SEC and Nasdaq Stock Market requirements, insurance, and investor relations costs. If any of our current or future product candidates obtains marketing approval, we expect that we would incur significantly increased expenses associated with sales and marketing efforts.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net consists primarily of interest on our convertible promissory notes and loan agreement, partially offset by interest earned on bank deposits. (See “—Sources of Liquidity” below).
Merger Transaction Costs
Transaction costs we incurred in relation to the Merger were initially capitalized as deferred transaction costs up through the Closing Date, at which time such costs were charged to expense in our statements of operations less the amount of cash received in the Merger.
Change in Fair Value of Convertible Promissory Notes
U.S. accounting standards provide entities with an option to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. As a result of us electing this option, we recorded all convertible promissory notes at fair value with changes in fair value reported in our statements of operations at each balance sheet date through the settlement of the convertible promissory notes in connection with the Closing, at which time the convertible promissory notes were converted into our Common Stock.
Change in Fair Value of Written Call Option Derivative Liabilities
Equity-linked purchase options issued in connection with our debt agreements are assessed to determine whether they are freestanding or embedded with the host instrument under ASC 815. Our embedded and freestanding purchase options were determined to be liability-classified derivative instruments and are measured at fair value both on the date of issuance and at each subsequent balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recorded to “Change in fair value of written call option derivative liabilities” within the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows.

Loss on Issuance of Commitment Shares
Our other expenses consist of losses on the issuance of the Commitment Shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 associated with the Loan Agreement. Since we intend to elect the fair value option for future draws under the Loan Agreement, we expense all issuance costs associated with the Loan Agreement, which are comprised of the fair value of the Commitment Shares as well as the issuance date fair value of the $14 million Purchase Option and Additional Amount Purchase Option. For more information about the Loan Agreement, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Funding Requirements” below.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $16.0 million compared to $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to stock-based compensation expense of $8.9 million, of which $6.7 million was recognized as a non-cash stock-based compensation expense from certain stock-based awards that continue to vest through satisfaction of service conditions subsequent to the satisfaction of the liquidity condition upon the Closing, and $2.2 million was recognized as restricted stock compensation expense related to the RSUs granted. The increase of $1.2 million in personnel costs was primarily attributable to an increase in headcount and an increase in premium for the Company’s director and officer insurance policy, and $0.8 million was recognized as a loss from the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock. The increase of $2.7 million in legal and professional fees was primarily attributable to the additional services incurred as a result of the Merger.
Interest Expense, Net
We recognized $0.2 million and $0.9 million in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which was attributable primarily to the outstanding principal balance associated with our convertible promissory notes that converted into Common Stock in connection with the Closing.

We incurred losses on the issuance of Commitment Shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, associated with the Loan Agreement.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
As of September 30, 2024, we had $2.3 million in cash, as compared to $1.1 million in cash as of December 31, 2023. To date, we have not yet commercialized any products or generated any revenue from product sales and have financed our operations primarily with proceeds from the sale of convertible promissory notes and preferred stock, funds drawn on the Loan Agreement, and research tax credits. Since January 2021, we have raised aggregate gross proceeds of $24.0 million from the sale of convertible promissory notes, $2.0 million from the sale of our Series A Preferred Stock, $3.0 million from deposits related to the future sale of our Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and $6.0 million from the sale of our Series C Preferred Stock. In June 2024, we entered into the Loan Agreement, which provided up to $36.0 million of term loans that can be drawn in $1.0 million increments each month over thirty-six months, as described below. As of September 30, 2024, we have drawn an aggregate of $1.0 million under the Loan Agreement.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we used $9.0 million of net cash in operating activities. Cash used in operating activities reflected $9.7 million of net loss, non-cash charges related to the change in the fair value of the convertible promissory notes, stock-based compensation expense, Merger transaction costs, loss on the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock, loss on issuance of the Commitment Shares, depreciation expense, reductions in the operating right of use (“ROU”) assets, and non-cash interest on the convertible promissory notes, partially offset by a $0.7 million net change in our operating assets and liabilities attributable to the timing of our payments to our vendors for research and development activities.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we used $6.2 million of net cash in operating activities. Cash used in operating activities reflected our net loss of $56.9 million offset by $49.1 million of non-cash charges related to the change in the fair value of the convertible promissory notes, depreciation expense, and reductions in the operating ROU assets, offset by a $0.4 million net change in our operating assets and liabilities attributable to the timing of our payments to our vendors for research and development activities.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we purchased $0.1 million of property and equipment. There was no investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we received $10.2 million of net cash from financing activities attributable to $2.0 million in proceeds from the sale of Series A Preferred Stock, $4.0 million in proceeds from the sale of Series C Preferred Stock, $3.0 million of non-refundable prepaid proceeds towards the anticipated issuance of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, $1.0 million drawn under the Loan Agreement, and $0.2 million of cash in connection with the Merger.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received $3.7 million of net cash from financing activities attributable to the proceeds from the convertible promissory notes, partially offset by $0.2 million in payment of deferred transaction costs.
Funding Requirements
Our primary sources of funds to meet our near-term liquidity and capital requirements include cash on hand, including the funding we have received from the sale of our Series A and Series C Preferred Stock and the funding we expect to receive from the sale of our Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and our access to an unsecured line of credit (limited to a $1.0 million monthly draw) under the Loan Agreement described below. On February 14, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with an investor pursuant to which the investor agreed to purchase shares of our Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $8.0 million. On March 27, 2024, we entered into an agreement pursuant to which that amount was reduced to $2.0 million and the investor agreed to purchase shares of our Series A-1 Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million. We have not yet received $3.0 million of the $6.0 million purchase price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. Even if we receive such proceeds, we will still need additional capital to fully implement our business, operating, and development plans. On August 21, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with an investor pursuant to which the investor agreed to purchase shares of our Series C Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million.
26 |
On June 6, 2024, we entered into the Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Lender agreed to provide to the Company up to the Maximum Loan Amount of $36.0 million under the Facility. The Lender is also the investor in our Series A, Series A-1, and Series C Preferred Stock. The Facility permits us to borrow up to $1.0 million monthly in a single monthly draw over a period of up to three years. Draws will accrue interest at a fixed annual rate of the lower of (i) the daily secured overnight financing rate, measured on the date we receive the draw (the “Deposit Date”), plus 2.00% and (ii) 7.00%, accruing quarterly beginning on the Deposit Date and payable quarterly beginning on the three-month anniversary of the Deposit Date. Interest will be payable in shares of Common Stock with an effective purchase price of $1.50 per share, and each draw will mature 48 months after the Deposit Date. Prepayment will be permitted without penalty. The Company may repay or prepay any amount of outstanding principal balance under the Facility at the Company’s election in cash or in shares of Common Stock with an effective purchase price of the greater of $1.50 per share and the 10-day trailing volume weighted average price of the Common Stock (the “Trailing VWAP”) as of the trading day prior to payment, subject to certain requirements related to resale registration. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, we also agreed to provide the Lender an option to purchase $14.0 million of shares of our Common Stock plus an additional amount up to the total then-remaining available and undrawn portion of the Maximum Loan Amount (which amount would thereafter no longer be available under the Facility). The Optional PIPE would be priced at a 30% discount to the Trailing VWAP on the date such price first reaches at least $10.00 per share (the “Threshold Price Date”) and will be exercisable by the Lender by written notice within three business days after the Company has notified the Lender of the Threshold Price Date (the date of such notice, the “Threshold Price Notice Date”). Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, we issued to the Lender the Commitment Shares, subject to forfeiture by the Lender of the Commitment Shares or an equal number of shares of Common Stock in the event the Lender fails to (i) make a deposit under the Facility when due or (ii) pay the purchase price for the Optional PIPE within 30 days after the Threshold Price Notice Date in the event the Company has satisfied all applicable closing conditions. There is no assurance as to the amount of proceeds we will ultimately receive under the Loan Agreement. As of September 30, 2024, we have drawn an aggregate of $1.0 million under the Loan Agreement
We expect to devote considerable financial resources to our ongoing and planned activities, particularly as we conduct our planned clinical trials of TVGN 489 and other product candidates.
Identifying potential product candidates and conducting pre-clinical testing and clinical trials is a time-consuming, expensive, and uncertain process that takes years to complete, and we may never generate the necessary data or results required to obtain marketing approval and achieve product sales. In addition, our product candidates, if approved, may not achieve commercial success.
We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we advance our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for TVGN 489 in any indication or for any other product candidate we are developing or develop in the future, we expect to incur commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, sales, marketing, and distribution. Furthermore, we expect to continue to incur increased costs associated with operating as a public company. Accordingly, we will need additional funding to fully implement our business plans.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
● | the progress, costs, and results of our planned clinical trials of TVGN 489 and other planned and future clinical trials; | |
● | the scope, progress, costs and results of our pre-clinical testing and clinical trials of TVGN 489 for additional combinations, targets, and indications; | |
● | the number of and development requirements for additional indications for TVGN 489 or for any other product candidates; | |
● | our ability to scale up our manufacturing processes and capabilities to support clinical trials of TVGN 489 and other product candidates we are developing and may develop in the future; | |
● | the costs, timing, and outcome of regulatory review of TVGN 489 and other product candidates we are developing and may develop in the future; | |
● | potential changes in the regulatory environment and enforcement rules; | |
● | our ability to establish and maintain strategic collaborations, licensing or other arrangements and the financial terms of such arrangements; | |
● | the costs and timing of future commercialization activities, including product manufacturing, sales, marketing, and distribution, for TVGN 489 and other product candidates we are developing and may develop in the future for which we may receive marketing approval; | |
● | our ability to obtain and maintain acceptance of any approved products by patients, the medical community, and third-party payors; | |
● | the amount and timing of revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of TVGN 489 and any other product candidates we are developing or develop in the future for which we receive marketing approval; |
27 |
● | potential changes in pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement infrastructure; | |
● | the availability of raw materials for use in production of our product candidates; and | |
● | the costs and timing of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property and proprietary rights, and defending any intellectual property-related claims. |
As of September 30, 2024, we had cash of $2.3 million. Our cash balance, the $2.0 million received from the sale of Series C Preferred Shares, and the Loan Agreement, which allows us to draw down term loans of $1.0 million per month over thirty-six months, will allow us to have adequate cash and financial resources, to operate for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
We regularly evaluate different strategies to obtain funding for operations for subsequent periods. These strategies may include but are not limited to private placements of securities, licensing and/or marketing arrangements, partnerships with other pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies, and public offerings of securities. We may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms and may not be able to enter into strategic alliances or other arrangements on favorable terms. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our stockholders. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding, we could be required to delay, reduce or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion, or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect our business prospects.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our contracts with CROs, CMOs, and other third parties for the manufacture of our product candidates and to support pre-clinical research studies and clinical testing are generally cancelable by us upon prior notice and do not contain any minimum purchase commitments. Payments due upon cancellation consisting only of payments for services provided or expenses incurred, including non-cancelable obligations of our service providers, up to the date of cancellation are not included in the table above as the amount and timing of such payments are not known.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued expenses, the fair value of our Common Stock, the fair value of our convertible promissory notes, and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, including those factors set out in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report. See also the section entitled “–Forward-Looking Statements” above.
While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 3 to our financial statements contained in this Report and Note 3 to the audited financial statements included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K, we believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements or involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operation.

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development activities are expensed as incurred. As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, we are required to estimate our accrued research and development expenses, including those related to clinical trials and product candidate manufacturing. This process involves reviewing open contracts and purchase orders, communicating with our applicable personnel to identify services that have been performed on our behalf and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for the services when we have not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of actual costs. Our service providers invoice us in arrears or require prepayments for services performed, as well as on a pre-determined schedule or when contractual milestones are met. We make estimates of our accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date in the financial statements based on facts and circumstances known to us at that time. We periodically confirm the accuracy of the estimates with the service providers and make adjustments if necessary. Examples of estimated accrued research and development expenses include fees paid to:
● | vendors in connection with pre-clinical and clinical development activities; | |
● | CROs in connection with clinical trials; and | |
● | CMOs in connection with the process development and scale-up activities and the production of pre-clinical and clinical trial materials. |
Costs for clinical trials and manufacturing activities are recognized based on an evaluation of our vendors’ progress towards completion of specific tasks, using data such as participant enrollment, clinical site activations, or information provided to us by our vendors regarding their actual costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of individual contracts and payment timing may differ significantly from the period in which the services were performed. We determine accrual estimates through reports from and discussions with applicable personnel and outside service providers as to the progress or state of completion of studies, or the services completed. Our estimates of accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date are based on the facts and circumstances known at the time. Costs that are paid in advance of performance are deferred as a prepaid expense and amortized over the service period as the services are provided.
Although we do not expect our estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, our understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period. To date, there have not been any material adjustments to our prior estimates of accrued research and development expenses. However, due to the nature of estimates, we cannot assure that we will not make changes to our estimates in the future as we become aware of additional information about the status or conduct of our clinical trials and other research activities.
Stock-Based Compensation
Awards under our compensation plans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 718. Compensation cost is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period of the award. We use the straight-line method to record compensation expense of awards with service-based vesting conditions. We account for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur. We recognize share-based compensation expense for awards with performance conditions when it is probable that the condition will be met, and the award will vest. Prior to the Merger, we estimated the fair value of our Common Stock in accordance with the guidance outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Accounting and Valuation Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation.
Estimating the fair value of Common Stock
Prior to the Closing, we were required to estimate the fair value of shares of our Common Stock underlying our stock-based awards and in connection with valuing our convertible promissory notes. Because our Common Stock was not publicly traded prior to February 15, 2024, the fair value of our Common Stock prior to such date had been estimated on each grant date by our board of directors, with input from our management, considering third-party valuations of our Common Stock.
Our board of directors considered various objective and subjective factors to estimate the estimated fair value of our Common Stock, including:
● | the estimated value of all classes of securities outstanding; | |
● | the anticipated capital structure that will directly impact the value of the currently outstanding securities; | |
● | our results of operations and financial position; | |
● | the status of our research and development efforts; |
29 |
● | the composition of, and changes to, our management team and board of directors; | |
● | the lack of liquidity of our Common Stock as a private company; | |
● | our stage of development and business strategy and the material risks related to our business and industry; | |
● | external market conditions affecting the life sciences and biotechnology industry sectors; | |
● | the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for the holders of our Common Stock, such as an initial public offering, or a sale of the company, given the prevailing market conditions; and | |
● | the market value and volatility of comparable companies. |
Fair Value Measurements
Our recurring fair value measurements primarily consist of the convertible promissory notes prior to the Merger, for which we elected the fair value option, the freestanding $14 million purchase option under the Loan Agreement, and the bifurcated purchase option that is embedded within the loan commitment under the Loan Agreement.
We used the Probability Weighted Expected Return Method (“PWERM”) valuation methodology to determine the fair value of the convertible promissory notes prior to the Merger for all the periods presented. The PWERM is a scenario-based methodology that estimates the fair value based upon an analysis of future values for the company, assuming various outcomes. The value is based on the probability-weighted present value of expected future investment returns considering each of the possible outcomes available. The future value under each outcome is discounted back to the valuation date at an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate and probability weighted to arrive at an indication of value. Significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of convertible promissory notes include volatility, discount rate, and probability of a future liquidity event. In February 2024, concurrent with the Merger, we converted our outstanding convertible promissory notes into 10,337,419 shares of Common Stock.
We used a Monte Carlo Simulation (“MCS”) valuation methodology to determine the fair value of the freestanding $14 million purchase option and embedded purchase option associated with the Loan Agreement at inception and as of September 30, 2024. The MCS methodology simulates the Company’s future stock price to estimate if and when the Trailing VWAP will reach $10.00 per share, and discounts the resulting payoff back to each valuation date using a present value factor. Significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of these options include volatility and discount rate.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information under this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II – Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In the ordinary conduct of our business, we may be subject from time to time to legal proceedings. We currently have no material legal proceedings pending.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
投资我们的普通股涉及高度风险。您应仔细考虑我们年度报告中“风险因素”部分列出的风险、该报告中列出的其他信息,以及我们向SEC提交的其他报告中的附加信息。如果这些报告中包含的任何风险发生,我们的业务、运营结果、财务状况和流动性可能会受到影响,证券的价值可能会下降,您可能会失去全部或部分投资。
除下文所述外,我们在年度报告Form 10-k中披露的风险因素没有发生重大变化,截至2023年12月31日的财政年度。
纳斯达克未能满足持续上市要求可能导致我们普通股的摘牌,以及我们未行使的公开认购权证。
我们的 普通股和我们已发行的可公开购买普通股的warrants(我们的“warrants”)在纳斯达克上市。我们需要满足特定的财务和其他要求以维持该上市,包括要求我们的普通股收盘买盘价格保持在1.00美元以上。
2024年6月14日,我们收到了纳斯达克上市资格部门(简称“工作人员”)的一封信,通知我们我们已经不再符合纳斯达克继续上市的1.00美元每股最低买盘价格要求(简称“最低买盘价格要求”),根据我们普通股在前35个连续营业日的收盘买盘价格。2024年10月28日,我们收到了主管部门的一封通知信,通知我们从2024年10月14日至2024年10月25日,我们的普通股收盘买盘价为1.00美元或更高,并且,我们已符合了最低买盘价格要求,该事项已结案。然而,并不能保证我们将能够继续符合最低买盘价格要求或其他纳斯达克的上市标准。
如果我们未能符合纳斯达克的持续上市要求,纳斯达克可能会采取除牌我们证券的步骤。这种除牌可能会对我们证券价格产生负面影响,并会影响您在希望这样做时卖出或购买证券的能力。在除牌的情况下,我们无法保证我们采取的任何恢复符合上市要求的行动能够使我们的证券再次上市,稳定市场价格或改善我们证券的流动性,或防止将来违反上市要求。此外,如果我们的证券因任何原因未在纳斯达克上市或被除牌,并在OTC挂牌在场外交易所,这是一种用于股票的经纪商自动报价系统,而不是国家证券交易所,我们的证券的流动性和价格可能会比如果我们的证券在纳斯达克或其他国家证券交易所上市或被挂牌时更受限制。除非能建立或维护市场,否则您可能无法卖出您的证券。
我们先前未能及时向证监会提交某些定期报告。未来可能在提交报告给证监会方面出现延迟会对我们的业务带来重大风险,并可能对我们的财务状况和运营结果产生重大不利影响。
我们 没有及时提交截至2023年12月31日的财政年度的10-K表格年度报告,或截至2024年3月31日的季度期的10-Q表格,错过了截至2024年9月30日季度期的10-Q表格的首次提交截止日期。 虽然我们现在已在交易法下及时提交了定期报告,但无法保证我们将来报告的提交总是及时的。任何定期报告的迟交可能会影响我们获得融资的能力。例如,直到我们及时提交交易法下要求的所有定期报告至少十二个月及其前一个月的所有部分,我们才能够以简式注册声明(Form S-3)注册我们的证券的发行和销售。此外,如果未来我们的定期报告提交被延迟,我们可能会对业务增长能力产生重大不利影响。
未来如果未能及时向美国证券交易委员会(SEC)提交定期报告,可能会导致我们受到SEC的执法行动和股东诉讼,并 可能导致我们的普通股和warrants在纳斯达克被摘牌,SEC的监管制裁,或未来任何信贷设施的契约违约,或我们可能在未来发行的任何优先股或债务证券的违约,这些都可能对我们的运营、您在我们的普通股和warrants上的投资以及我们为自己或安防-半导体持有者的利益在SEC注册公开发行证券的能力产生重大不利影响。此外,任何潜在的未能及时提交未来定期报告的情况,可能导致投资者无法获得有关我们业务和运营的最新或及时信息,从而做出投资决策。
