Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and our Chief Financial Officer (CFO) (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024.

The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024.

Management based its assessment on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2023.

Management based its assessment on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2024 due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which relates to cash disbursements

described below.

However, after giving full consideration to this material weakness, and the additional analyses and other procedures that we performed to ensure that our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were prepared in accordance with U.S.

GAAP, our management has concluded that our consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed in conformity with U.S.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report from our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

1 unchanged sentence

We cannot assure you that material weaknesses or significant deficiencies will not occur in the future or that we will be able to remediate such weaknesses or deficiencies in a timely manner, which could impair our ability to accurately and timely report our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

For additional information, see the related risks in the section titled "Risk Factors" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

For additional information, see the related risks in the section entitled " Risk Factors " of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In connection with the audit of our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

The material weakness we identified was as follows:

• In September and October 2024, certain employee business email accounts were compromised by an unauthorized third party, and as a result, payments intended for certain vendors were fraudulently re-directed into bank accounts presumably controlled by the unauthorized third party.

As a result of the foregoing, we identified a material weakness due to our internal controls having not been adequately designed to prevent or timely detect unauthorized cash disbursements.

Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our management has implemented certain additional substantive and analytical review procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

Our management, under the supervision of our CEO and CFO, has undertaken a plan to remediate the material weakness identified above.

We have fully implemented certain remediation efforts that are intended to address the identified material weakness.

Specifically, we have added controls within the cash disbursements process that are designed to properly authenticate changes to vendor banking information as well as provide additional layers of review and approval of these changes prior to cash disbursement.

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe that the remediation steps taken have been sufficient to remediate the material weakness.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will also consider whether to nominate any person proposed by a stockholder in accordance with the provisions of our bylaws relating to stockholder nominations which will be described in our 2025 Proxy Statement, which we intend to file with the SEC within 120 days of the end of our fiscal year pursuant to General Instruction G(3) of Form 10-K.

Identifying and Evaluating Director Nominees.

Our board of directors is responsible for filling vacancies on our board of directors and for nominating candidates for election by our stockholders each year in the class of directors whose term expires at the relevant annual meeting.

The board of directors delegates the selection and nomination process to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, with the expectation that other members of the board of directors, and of management, will be requested to take part in the process as appropriate.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Policies and Procedures for Director Candidates provide that the value of diversity should be considered in determining director candidates as well as other factors such as a candidate’s character, judgment, skills, education, expertise, and absence of conflicts of interest.

Our priority in selection of board members is identification of members who will further the interests of our stockholders through their established records of professional accomplishment, their ability to contribute positively to the collaborative culture among board members, and their knowledge of our business and understanding of the competitive landscape in which we operate and adherence to high ethical standards.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal diversity policy and does not follow any ratio or formula with respect to diversity in order to determine the appropriate composition of our board of directors, although our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and our full board of directors are committed to creating a board of directors with diversity, including diversity of expertise, experience, background and gender, and are committed to identifying, recruiting and advancing candidates offering such diversity in future searches.

Generally, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies candidates for director nominees in consultation with management, through the use of search firms or other advisors, through the recommendations submitted by stockholders or through such other methods as the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee deems to be helpful to identify candidates.

Once candidates have been identified, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee confirms that the candidates meet all of the minimum qualifications for director nominees established by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may gather information about the candidates through interviews, detailed questionnaires, comprehensive background checks or any other means that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee deems to be appropriate in the evaluation process.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee then meets as a group to discuss and evaluate the qualities and skills of each candidate, both on an individual basis and taking into account the overall composition and needs of our board of directors.

based on the results of the evaluation process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends candidates for the board of directors’ approval to fill a vacancy or as director nominees for election to the board of directors by our stockholders each year in the class of directors whose term expires at the relevant annual meeting.

Policy on Trading, Pledging and Hedging of Company Stock

Certain transactions in our securities (such as purchases and sales of publicly traded put and call options, and short sales) create a heightened compliance risk or could create the appearance of misalignment between management and stockholders.

In addition, securities held in a margin account or pledged as collateral may be sold without consent if the owner fails to meet a margin call or defaults on the loan, thus creating the risk that a sale may occur at a time when an officer or director is aware of material, non-public information or otherwise is not permitted to trade in Company securities.

Insider Trading Policies and Procedures

We have an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale and other dispositions of our securities that applies to all of our directors, officers, employees and other covered persons.

Our insider trading policy expressly prohibits derivative transactions of our stock by our executive officers, directors and employees.

Our insider trading policy expressly prohibits purchases of any derivative securities that provide the economic equivalent of ownership.

We believe that our insider trading policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards applicable to us.

A copy of our insider trading policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to this Form 10-K.

In addition, with regard to the Company’s trading in its own securities, it is the Company’s policy to comply with the federal securities laws and the applicable exchange listing requirements.

Narrative to 2024 Summary Compensation Table

Our board of directors and Compensation Committee review compensation annually for all employees, including our executives.

In setting executive base salaries and bonuses and granting equity incentive awards, we consider compensation for comparable positions in the market, the historical compensation levels of our executives, individual performance as compared to our expectations and objectives, our desire to motivate our employees to achieve short- and long-term results that are in the best interests of our stockholders, and a long-term commitment to our Company.

We target a general competitive position, based on independent third-party benchmark analytics to inform the mix of compensation of base salary, bonus or long-term incentives.

Our Compensation Committee has historically reviewed and made recommendations to our board of directors regarding the compensation to be paid to our chief executive officer and determined the compensation of our other executive officers.

Our Compensation Committee typically reviews and discusses management’s proposed compensation with the chief executive officer for all executives other than the chief executive officer.

Based on those discussions and its discretion, taking into account the factors noted above, the Compensation Committee then approves the compensation of our executive officers other than the chief executive officer without members of management present.

Our board of directors discusses the Compensation Committee’s recommendations and ultimately approves the compensation of our chief executive officer without members of management present.

Aon Consulting, Inc.

(Aon Consulting) advised the board of directors and the Compensation Committee on certain compensation matters and decisions during fiscal year 2024.

Aon Consulting served at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and did not provide any other services to the Company during fiscal year 2024 other than those for which they were engaged by the Compensation Committee.

Our Compensation Committee requires that its compensation consultants be independent of Company management and performs an annual assessment of the compensation consultants’ independence to determine whether the consultants are independent.

Our Compensation Committee has determined that Aon Consulting is independent and that its respective work has not raised any conflicts of interest.

Annual base salary

We use base salaries to recognize the experience, skills, knowledge and responsibilities required of all our employees, including our 2024 named executive officers.

Base salaries for our named executive officers are reviewed annually by our Compensation Committee, typically in connection with our annual performance review process, and adjusted from time to time, based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience.

None of our 2024 named executive officers are currently party to an employment agreement or other agreement or arrangement that provides for automatic or scheduled increases in base salary.

During 2024, the annual base salaries for each of Messrs.

Schor, Harvey, Aftab and Galimi, were $628,000, $462,000, $471,000 and $495,000, respectively, which was an increase of approximately 3.5%, 3.6%, 3.5% and 3.6%, respectively, as compared to their 2023 annual base salaries.

Galimi resigned from his position as chief medical officer, effective December 13, 2024, and, therefore, his annual salary reflected his partial year of employment for fiscal year 2024, as reflected in the section titled “2024 Summary Compensation Table” above.

Our named executive officers, as well as other executive officers, are eligible to participate in our Cash Incentive Bonus Plan (Bonus Plan) which is an annual bonus program intended to reward our named executive officers for meeting objective or subjective performance goals for a fiscal year.

The Bonus Plan provides for cash payments based upon the attainment of performance targets established by the Compensation Committee, which may relate to financial and operational measures or objectives with respect to the Company.

Each executive officer who is selected to participate in the Bonus Plan will have a target bonus opportunity set for each performance period.

With respect to performance in fiscal year 2024, the target bonus opportunity as a percentage of base salary for each of Messrs.

Schor, Harvey, Aftab and Galimi were 55%, 40%, 40%, and 40%, respectively.

The 2024 corporate goals used in our 2024 Cash Incentive Bonus Plan were proposed by management, and reviewed and approved by our Compensation Committee and our board of directors in January 2024.

Our board of directors considered and assigned a relative weight to each corporate goal to appropriately focus efforts on achievements that were intended to enhance stockholder value.

Based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance goals and metrics related to our 2024 corporate objectives, the Compensation Committee determined that the bonuses for executives, including our named executive officers, would be paid at 70% of target and paid in the amounts as set forth above in the Summary Compensation Table.

Galimi resigned from his position as chief medical officer, effective December 13, 2024, and, therefore, he did not receive a cash incentive bonus with respect to fiscal year 2024, as reflected in the section titled “2024 Summary Compensation Table” above.

See section titled “Employment Arrangements with Our Named Executive Officers” below for additional information on Dr.

Galimi's employment agreement and separation agreement and release.

Long-term equity incentives

Our equity grant program is intended to align the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders and to motivate them to make important contributions to our performance.

In addition, the vesting requirements of our equity awards contribute to executive retention by providing an incentive to our executive officers to remain employed by us during the vesting period.

Significant equity awards are granted at the time an executive officer commences employment.

Thereafter, equity awards may be granted at varying times and in varying amounts in the discretion of our Compensation Committee or, if awards are being granted to the Chief Executive Officer, in the discretion of our board of directors.

None of our executive officers is currently party to an employment agreement that provides for an automatic grant of long-term equity incentives.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we granted stock options and restricted stock units to each of our named executive officers, as shown in more detail in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at 2024 Fiscal Year End” table below.

401(k) Savings Plan

We maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for the benefit of our employees, including our named executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements.

Under the 401(k) plan, eligible employees may elect to defer a portion of their compensation, within the limits prescribed by the Code, on a pre-tax or after-tax (Roth) basis, through contributions to the 401(k) plan.

The 401(k) plan is intended to qualify under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code.

As a tax-qualified retirement plan, pre-tax contributions to the 401(k) plan and earnings on those pre-tax contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed from the 401(k) plan, and earnings on Roth contributions are not taxable when distributed from the 401(k) plan.

The 401(k) plan authorizes employer discretionary match contributions.

We match 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 3% of the contributions that eligible participants make to the 401(k) plan up to 6.00% of the participant’s eligible compensation.

Health and Welfare Benefits

All of our full-time employees, including our executive officers, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare benefits, including medical, dental and vision insurance, medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts, group life and disability insurance, and 401(k) plan.

Named executive officers are eligible to participate in all our employee benefit plans, in each case on the same basis as other employees.

We do not offer any defined benefit pension plans or nonqualified defined compensation arrangements for our employees, including our named executive officers.

Perquisites and Personal Benefits

Our policy in 2024 was generally not to provide significant perquisites and personal benefits to our executive officers, including our named executive officers, other than reimbursements for relocation and commuting expenses and certain other de minimis perquisites to our executive officers, including our named executive officers.

In 2024, we provided Dr.

Aftab relocation assistance of $75,000.

Compensation Recovery Policy

On November 16, 2023, our board adopted a compensation recovery policy, which became effective on October 2, 2023.

The compensation recovery policy provides that in the event we are required to prepare a restatement of financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under securities laws, we will seek to recover any incentive-based compensation that was based upon the attainment of a financial reporting measure and that was received by any current or former executive officer during the three-year period preceding the date that the restatement was required if such compensation exceeds the amount that the executive officers would have received based on the restated financial statements.

The full text of the compensation recovery policy is included as Exhibit 97.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Policy on the Timing of Awards of Options and Other Option-Like Instruments

We generally grant annual equity awards, including stock option grants to our named executive officers, in the first quarter of each fiscal year.

This grant date timing coincides with our calendar-year-based employee review cycle, allowing managers to deliver the equity awards close in time to performance reviews and feedback.

In addition, new hires receive equity grants at the time of their hiring.

During 2024, the Compensation Committee did not take into account any material nonpublic information when determining the timing and terms of equity incentive awards, and we did not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

The Compensation Committee met to discuss the size and nature of the equity awards for our named executive officers on December 12, 2023, January 4, 2024 and January 24, 2024.

The Compensation Committee discussed the Company’s projected equity usage for fiscal year 2024 and potential dilutive impact of equity awards to our named executive officers, and determined to grant a number of the annual equity awards for the named executive officers effective immediately as of January 24, 2024 with the remaining number of their respective annual awards to be granted contingent upon the approval of the Shareholder Proposal (as defined below).

During 2024, consistent with our ordinary course practice of granting equity awards in the first quarter of the fiscal year, we granted stock options to our Named Executive Officers on January 24, 2024 (the “January 24th Awards”), which was the same business day that we filed the Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the closing of our underwritten public offering of 27,054,667 shares of our common stock, and, in lieu of common stock to an investor, pre-funded warrants to purchase 8,445,333 shares of common stock (collectively, the “January 2024 Offering”).

The Company originally publicly announced the launch and pricing of the January 2024 Offering on January 22, 2024 via launch and pricing press releases as well as the filing of the preliminary prospectus supplement with the SEC.

On January 26, 2024, following finalization of the terms of the Shareholder Proposal, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of the remainder of the annual equity awards, contingent upon the approval of the shareholders of an amendment to the Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the “Shareholder Proposal”) and with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the Compensation Committee approval (the “Contingent Awards”).

To the extent the Shareholder Proposal was not approved by the shareholders, the Contingent Awards would have been forfeited in their entirety.

On June 5, 2024, the Company held its annual meeting of shareholders, where, among other things, the shareholders approved the Shareholder Proposal.

Also on June 5, 2024, we furnished a Form 8-K announcing that we had received FDA Fast Track Designation for ADI-001 in Lupus Nephritis and on June 7, 2024, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the results of the annual meeting.

Francesco Galimi

(1) The awards with a grant date of June 5, 2024 were approved by the compensation committee on January 26, 2024, contingent upon shareholder approval of an amendment to our equity plan, which approval was obtained at the annual meeting on June 5, 2024.

Accordingly, such grants have an exercise price equal to the closing price on January 26, 2024, and were not made in contemplation of or in connection with the disclosures made on June 5, 2024 or June 7, 2024 in separate Current Report on Form 8-Ks.

(2) Each of the option awards has a ten-year term and vests over four years.

The amounts are computed in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718 disregarding the effect of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting.

See Note 12 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K regarding certain assumptions underlying the valuation of equity awards.

(3) Calculated using the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on January 24, 2024, and January 25, 2024, of $2.40 and $2.47 per share, respectively, given the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the closing of the January 2024 Offering on January 24, 2024.

As disclosed above, the January 2024 Offering was disclosed to the public on January 22, 2024.

Accordingly, on January 22, 2024 and January 23, 2024, the trading days ending immediately prior and beginning immediately following the actual disclosure of the material non-public information to the public via launch and pricing press releases and the filing of a preliminary prospectus, the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market was $2.48 and $2.51.

(4) Calculated using the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on June 4, 2024, and June 6, 2024, of $1.44 and $1.40 per share, respectively.

As disclosed above, the June 5, 2024 awards were approved on January 26, 2024.

Accordingly, the percentage change in market value of the closing price on January 26, 2024 (which reflects the exercise price of such grants) compared to the closing price of our common stock on June 6, 2024, represents a change of -44.7%.

Compensation Risk Assessment

We believe that although a portion of the compensation provided to our executive officers and other employees is performance-based, our executive compensation program does not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk taking.

Our compensation programs are designed to encourage our executive officers and other employees to remain focused on both short-term and long-term strategic goals, in particular in connection with our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy.

As a result, we do not believe that our compensation programs are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

In January 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) with Jefferies LLC and Guggenheim Securities, LLC, as representatives of the underwriters (the Underwriters), related to an underwritten public offering (the Offering) of 32,379,667 shares of our common stock, which included 5,325,000 shares sold and issued upon the exercise in full by the Underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares of common stock, and, in lieu of common stock to certain investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase 8,445,333 shares of common stock.

The shares of common stock were sold at a public offering price of $2.40 per share and the pre-funded warrants were sold at a public offering price of $2.3999 per pre-funded warrant, which represents the per share public offering price of each share of common stock minus the $0.0001 per share exercise price for each pre-funded warrant.

We received net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and commissions and other estimated offering expenses, of approximately $91.8 million.

We may receive nominal proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the pre-funded warrants.

Certain of our investors, including entities affiliated with OrbiMed purchased shares from the Underwriters in connection with the Offering.

The following table summarizes the purchases on January 24, 2024 of our common stock by our directors and 5% stockholders at such date:

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Our certificate of incorporation contains provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

Consequently, our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for the following:

• any breach of their duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders;

• any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

• unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL); or

• any transaction from which they derived an improper personal benefit.

Any amendment to, or repeal of, these provisions will not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission or claim that occurred or arose prior to that amendment or repeal.

If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors of corporations, then the personal liability of our directors will be further limited to the greatest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

As further detailed in Proposal No.

4 above, we are also asking our shareholders to amend our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to limit liability for certain of our officers.

Specifically, amended DGCL Section 102(b)(7) only permits exculpation for direct claims brought by stockholders for breach of an officer’s fiduciary duty of care, including class actions, but does not eliminate officers’ monetary liability for breach of fiduciary duty claims brought by the corporation itself or for derivative claims brought by stockholders in the name of the corporation.

Furthermore, the limitation on liability does not apply to breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or any transaction in which the officer derived an improper personal benefit.

In addition, we adopted bylaws which provide that we will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was one of our directors or officers or is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise.

Our bylaws provide that we may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was one of our employees or agents or is or was serving at our request as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

Our bylaws also provide that we must advance expenses incurred by or on behalf of a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, subject to very limited exceptions.

We have entered into and, in the future, plan to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors and executive officers.

These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify these individuals for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts reasonably incurred by such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in our right, on account of any services undertaken by such person on behalf of our company or that person’s status as a member of our board of directors to the maximum extent allowed under Delaware law.

Related Person Transaction Policy

Our board of directors adopted a written related person transactions policy providing that transactions with our directors, officers and holders of five percent or more of our voting securities and their affiliates, each a related person, must be approved by our Audit Committee.

This policy became effective on January 25, 2018, the date our registration statement for our initial public offering became effective, and was amended on December 19, 2022.

Pursuant to this policy, the Audit Committee has the primary responsibility for reviewing and approving or disapproving “related person transactions,” which are transactions between us and related persons in which a related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

For purposes of this policy, a related person is defined as a director, executive officer, nominee for director, or greater than 5% beneficial owner of our common stock, in each case since the beginning of the most recently completed year, and their immediate family members.

As appropriate for the circumstances, the Audit Committee will review and consider:

the related person’s interest in the related person transaction;

whether the transaction was undertaken in the ordinary course of our business;

whether the terms of the transaction are no less favorable to us than terms that could have been reached with an unrelated third party.

Director Independence

Applicable Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) rules require a majority of a listed company’s board of directors to be comprised of independent directors within one year of listing.

In addition, the Nasdaq rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent and that audit committee members also satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and that compensation committee members satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act.

Under applicable Nasdaq rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of the listed company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee, accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

In addition, in affirmatively determining the independence of any director who will serve on a company’s compensation committee, Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act requires that a company’s board of directors must consider all factors specifically relevant to determining whether a director has a relationship to such company which is material to that director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member, including:

the source of compensation to the director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee paid by such company to the director, and whether the director is affiliated with the company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

Our board of directors has determined that all members of the board of directors, except Mr.

Schor, are independent directors, including for purposes of the rules of Nasdaq and the SEC.

In making such independence determination, our board of directors considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances that our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director.

In considering the independence of the directors listed above, our board of directors considered the association of our directors with the holders of more than 5% of our common stock.

There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

Schor is not an independent director under these rules because he is an executive officer of the Company.

Audit Committee Pre-approval Policy and Procedures

Our Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the approval of all audit and non-audit services that are to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm.

This policy provides that we will not engage our independent registered public accounting firm to render audit or non-audit services unless the service is specifically approved in advance by our Audit Committee or the engagement is entered into pursuant to the pre-approval procedure described below.

From time to time, our Audit Committee may pre-approve specified types of services that are expected to be provided to us by our independent registered public accounting firm during the next 12 months.

The United States dollar is the functional and reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Company assesses entities for consolidation based on the specific facts and circumstances surrounding that entity.

The Company first considers whether an entity is considered a variable interest entity (VIE) and therefore whether to apply the consolidation guidance under the VIE model.

Entities that do not qualify as VIEs are assessed for consolidation as voting interest entities under the voting interest model.

An entity is considered to be a VIE if any of the following conditions exist:

(i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to finance the activities of the entity without additional subordinated financial support, (ii) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance or the obligation to absorb the expected losses or right to receive the expected residual returns, and (iii) the voting rights of some holders of the equity investment at risk are disproportionate to their obligation to absorb losses or right to

receive returns, and substantially all of the activities are conducted on behalf of the holder of equity investment at risk with disproportionately few voting rights.

The Company consolidates all VIEs in which it is the primary beneficiary.

An entity is determined to be the primary beneficiary if it holds a controlling financial interest in a VIE.

The consolidation guidance requires an analysis to determine (i) whether an entity in which the Company holds a variable interest is a VIE and (ii) whether the Company’s involvement, through holding interest directly or indirectly in the entity or contractually through other variable interests, would give it a controlling financial interest.

Performance of that analysis requires judgment.

As described in Note 1, Shanghai Adicet Biotechnology Co., Ltd., has been identified as a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary.

On September 15, 2020 Adicet Bio and resTORbio completed the Merger upon which Adicet Bio became the parent company of the consolidated group.

The Merger did not create a step up in basis for tax basis of the asset as it was considered a tax-free merger.

The above deferred tax table includes deferred related to resTORbio.

The Company has established a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such assets.

IRC Section 174, as modified by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, no longer permit an immediate deduction for research and development expenditures in the tax year that such costs are incurred.

As a result the Company capitalized such costs in its 2023 income tax provision, resulting in an increase in deferred tax assets.

ASC 740 requires that the tax benefit of net operating losses, temporary differences and credit carryforwards be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is “more likely than not.” Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period.

benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period.

Because of the Company’s recent history of operating losses, management believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above-mentioned future tax benefits is currently not likely to be realized and, accordingly, has provided a valuation allowance.
