AGENUS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CO NSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2025
Note A – Business, Liquidity and Basis of Presentation
Agenus Inc. (including its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “Agenus,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company specializing in discovering and developing therapies to activate the body's immune system against cancer and infections. Our pipeline includes immune-modulatory antibodies, adoptive cell therapies (via MiNK Therapeutics, Inc. ("MiNK")), and vaccine adjuvants (via SaponiQx, Inc. ("SaponiQx")). Our primary focus is immuno-oncology (“I-O”), and our diverse pipeline is supported by our in-house capabilities, including current good manufacturing practice (“cGMP”) manufacturing and a clinical operations platform. To succeed in I-O, innovation and speed are paramount. We are a vertically integrated biotechnology company equipped with a suite of technology platforms to advance from novel target identification through manufacturing for clinical trials of antibodies and cell therapies. By understanding each patient's cancer, we aim to substantially expand the population benefiting from current I-O therapies. In addition to a diverse pipeline, we have assembled fully integrated end-to-end capabilities including novel target discovery, antibody generation, cell line development and cGMP manufacturing. Leveraging our science and capabilities, we have established strategic partnerships to advance innovation. We believe the next generation of cancer treatment will build on clinically validated antibodies targeting cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (“CTLA-4”) and programmed death receptor-1s (“PD-1”) combined with novel immunomodulatory agents designed to address underlying tumor escape mechanisms.
Our I-O portfolio is driven by several platforms and programs, which we plan to utilize individually and in combination:
• Multiple antibody discovery platforms, including proprietary display technologies, to identify future antibody candidates.
• Antibody candidate programs, including our lead assets, botensilimab ("BOT") (a multifunctional immune cell activator and human Fc-enhanced CTLA-4 blocking antibody, also known as AGEN1181) and balstilimab ("BAL") (a PD-1 blocking antibody).
• Our saponin-based vaccine adjuvant platform, primarily centered around our STIMULON cultured plant cell (“cpc”) QS-21 adjuvant (“STIMULON cpcQS-21”).
• A pipeline of novel allogeneic invariant natural killer T cell therapies for treating cancer and other immune-mediated diseases, controlled by MiNK.
Our business activities include product research, preclinical and clinical development, intellectual property prosecution, manufacturing, regulatory and clinical affairs, corporate finance and development activities, and support of our collaborations. Our product candidates require successful clinical trials and approvals from regulatory agencies, as well as acceptance in the marketplace. Part of our strategy is to develop and commercialize some of our product candidates through arrangements with academic and corporate collaborators and licensees.
Our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2025 were $ 9.5 million, a decrease of $ 30.9 million from December 31, 2024 . Subsequent to quarter end, we received $ 5.2 million from sales of our common stock in at the market offerings, and we anticipate receiving $ 75.0 million upfront plus a $ 16.0 million equity investment from the closing of our agreements with Zydus Lifesciences Ltd and its affiliates, during the third quarter. Cash and cash equivalents of our subsidiary, MiNK, at March 31, 2025, were $ 3.2 million. MiNK cash can only be accessed by Agenus through a declaration of a dividend by the MiNK Board of Directors or through settlement of intercompany balances. We have incurred significant losses since our inception in 1994. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $ 2.2 billion and $ 10.5 million of subordinated notes maturing in June 2026 .
Based on our current plans and projections, we believe that our cash resources of $ 9.5 million at June 30, 2025, along with the post-quarter cash infusions noted above and additional cash inflows from funding we expect to receive in 2025, will be sufficient to satisfy our critical liquidity requirements through 2026. To support operations on an ongoing basis we require additional funding. Since our founding we have financed our operations principally through income and revenues generated from corporate partnerships, advance royalty sales, and proceeds from debt and equity issuances.
Currently we are in discussions with entities including operating companies and financial entities to provide the additional funding necessary to support our operations through our planned registration and launch strategy for botensilimab/balstilimab. However, because the completion of cash funding transactions is not entirely within our control, and in accordance with accounting standards, substantial doubt continues to exist about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes Agenus will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. Management continues to diligently address the Company’s liquidity needs and has continued to adjust spending in order to preserve liquidity. We expect our sources of funding to include additional out-licensing agreements, asset sales, project financing, and/or sales of equity securities.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of our management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. For further information, refer to our consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
For our foreign subsidiaries, the local currency is the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using rates in effect at the balance sheet date while revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during the period. The cumulative translation adjustment resulting from changes in exchange rates are included in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in total stockholders’ deficit.

On June 3, 2025, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. (“Zydus”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Zydus Lifesciences Limited, for the sale to Zydus of substantially all of the assets comprising our manufacturing operations, including both owned and leased assets (the “Purchased Assets”).
As consideration for the sale of the Purchased Assets, Zydus will pay us $ 75.0 million at closing (less costs related to closing). The Purchase Agreement also includes contingent payments of up to an additional $ 50.0 million that may be earned based on usage by Agenus of Zydus’ manufacturing business during the 36-month period following the closing.
We also entered into a license agreement with Zydus (the “License Agreement”) under which, upon closing of the Purchase Agreement, Zydus will receive an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize botensilimab and balstilimab in India and Sri Lanka (the “Territory”) in exchange for a royalty on net sales at a rate of 5 %, as may be adjusted by the occurrence of certain contingencies, for a period ending at the later of the expiration of our patent rights in a given country in the Territory or 10 years following first commercial sale in such country.
Additionally, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, we and Zynext Ventures USA LLC (“Zynext”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Zydus Lifesciences Limited, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA” and together with the License Agreement and Purchase Agreement the “Zydus Agreements”), pursuant to which Zynext agreed to purchase 2,133,333 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $ 16.0 million, or $ 7.50 per share.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by us and Zydus, indemnification obligations of the parties and certain other obligations of the parties. Closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including receipt of all required government approvals, as well as the entry into a contract manufacturing agreement (under which we will use Zydus for agreed manufacturing needs), the SPA and the License Agreement. We anticipate the Zydus Agreements will close in quarter ending September 30, 2025, as such, the impact of the Zydus Agreements is not reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
We do not currently have title to a substantial portion of leased manufacturing equipment included in the Purchased Assets and as such, the Purchased Assets are not available for immediate sale in their present condition. This precludes the Purchased Assets from being classified as held for sale in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. We are currently in active negotiations to obtain title before the closing of the Purchase Agreement.
Note B – Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including common shares issuable under our Amended and Restated Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan, or “DDCP”). Diluted loss per common share is calculated by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including common shares issuable under our DDCP) plus the dilutive effect of outstanding instruments such as warrants, stock options, non-vested shares and convertible preferred stock. Because we reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders for all periods presented, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share, as the effect of utilizing the fully diluted share count would have reduced the net loss per
8
common share. The following securities (listed on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis) have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, as they would be anti-dilutive (in thousands):

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the principal amount of our outstanding debt balance was $ 35.8 million and $ 35.2 million, respectively.
Promissory Note
In November 2024, we, through a subsidiary, entered into a promissory note (the “Note”) with Ocean 1181 LLC (the “Lender”) for a loan in an aggregate principal amount of $ 22.0 million (the “Loan”). The Loan has a two-year term and is principally secured by our manufacturing facility in Berkeley, CA and parcels of land located in Vacaville, CA.
In March 2025, we and the Lender agreed to increase the principal amount under the Note by $ 2.75 million. As part of the transaction, we reimbursed the Lender for transaction costs and paid a 1 % origination fee, totaling approximately $ 0.3 million. These amounts are presented net of the liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Loan.
Subordinated Notes
In February 2015, we issued subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $ 14.0 million, of which $ 10.5 million remains outstanding (the “2015 Subordinated Notes”).
In February 2025, we entered into an Amendment to Notes, Amendment of Warrants and Sale of New Warrants (the “Amendment”) with existing noteholders, pursuant to which we:
• extended the maturity date of $ 10.5 million of the 2015 Subordinated Notes from February 20, 2025 to June 20, 2026 ;
• increased the interest rate under the 2015 Subordinated Notes from 8 % to 9 % per annum;
• secured the obligation to pay the 2015 Subordinated Notes by the grant of a subordinate mortgage on our manufacturing facility in Berkeley, CA and parcels of land located in Vacaville, CA;
• extended the expiration date of all 2022 A warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “A Warrants”) and 2022 B warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “B Warrants”) held by such noteholders to purchase a total of 97,500 shares of the Company’s common stock previously issued in 2022 to February 20, 2030 and changed the exercise price to $ 3.25 per share, which represented a 60-day volume weighted average price as of February 14, 2025 (the “Amended A Warrants” and “Amended B Warrants”);
10
• issued to certain noteholders new warrants to purchase 67,500 shares of the Company’s common stock to expire February 20, 2030, and have an exercise price of $ 3.25 per share, (the “C Warrants” and, together with the Amended A Warrants and the Amended B Warrants, the “New Warrants”);
• committed to registering the New Warrants with the Securities and Exchange Commission within ninety (90) days after February 20, 2025; and
• provided that if we conduct a financing of greater than $ 10.0 million at a price per share below $ 3.25 before February 20, 2026, the exercise price on the New Warrants will be reduced to the same price at which such financing was conducted.
This Amendment was accounted for as a debt modification. As part of the Amendment, we recorded debt discount of approximately $ 0.4 million, representing the fair value of the new and modified warrants. This amount is presented net of the liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2015 Subordinated Notes.

Healthcare Royalty Partners
In January 2018, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Antigenics, LLC (“Antigenics”), entered into a Royalty Purchase Agreement (the “HCR Royalty Purchase Agreement”) with Healthcare Royalty Partners III, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “HCR”). Pursuant to the terms of the HCR Royalty Purchase Agreement, we sold to HCR 100 % of Antigenics’ worldwide rights to receive royalties from GlaxoSmithKline (“GSK”) on sales of GSK’s vaccines containing our STIMULON QS-21 adjuvant. At closing, we received gross proceeds of $ 190.0 million from HCR. Although we sold all of our rights to receive royalties on sales of GSK’s vaccines containing QS-21, as a result of our obligation to HCR, we are required to account for the $ 190.0 million in proceeds from this transaction as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet that will be recognized into revenue in proportion to the royalty payments from GSK to HCR over the estimated life of the HCR Royalty Purchase Agreement. The liability is classified between the current and non-current portion of liability related to sale of future royalties and milestones in the condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the estimated royalty payments to be received by HCR in the next 12 months from the financial statement reporting date.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025 , we recognized $ 48.4 million of non-cash royalty revenue, and we recorded $ 15.5 million of related non-cash interest expense related to the HCR Royalty Purchase Agreement.
As royalties are remitted to HCR from GSK, the balance of the recorded liability will be effectively repaid over the life of the HCR Royalty Purchase Agreement. To determine the amortization of the recorded liability, we are required to estimate the total amount of future royalty payments to be received by HCR. The sum of these amounts less the $ 190.0 million proceeds we received will be recorded as interest expense over the life of the HCR Royalty Purchase Agreement. Periodically, we assess the estimated royalty payments to be paid to HCR from GSK, and to the extent the amount or timing of the payments is materially different from our original estimates, we will prospectively adjust the amortization of the liability, and the related recognition of interest expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 , our estimate of the effective annual interest rate over the remaining life of the agreement decreased to 13.5 %, which results in a life of contract interest rate of 23.8 %.
Ligand Pharmaceuticals
In May 2024, we and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Ligand Purchase Agreement") with Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated ("Ligand"). Pursuant to the terms of the Ligand Purchase Agreement, Ligand
11
will receive (i) 31.875 % of the development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments we were then eligible to receive under our agreements with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company ("BMS"), UroGen Pharma Ltd., Gilead Sciences, Inc. ("Gilead"), Merck Sharpe & Dohme and Incyte Corporation ("Incyte"), (the “Covered License Agreements”) (ii) 18.75 % of the royalties the Company receives under the Covered License Agreements; and (iii) a 2.625 % synthetic royalty on worldwide net sales of botensilimab and balstilimab (collectively the “Purchased Assets”). In the event that we relicense the programs in the Covered License Agreements, Ligand would retain its economic interest in any new agreement.
The total amounts payable to Ligand are subject to a 50 % reduction in the event total payments to Ligand exceed a specified return hurdle. The synthetic royalty is subject to a reduction if annual worldwide net sales exceed a specified level, and a cap on annual worldwide net sales if annual worldwide net sales exceed a higher specified level. The synthetic royalty can increase by 1 % based on the occurrence of certain future events.
In consideration for the sale of the Purchased Assets, we received gross proceeds of $ 75.0 million, less $ 0.9 million in reimbursable expenses, on the closing date. In addition, Ligand had a time-based option to invest an additional $ 25.0 million on a pro rata basis ("Purchaser Upsize Option"), which expired on June 30, 2025.
In connection with the sale of the Purchased Assets, we issued to Ligand a warrant (the "Ligand Warrant") to purchase 867,052 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price equal to $ 17.30 per share.
The $ 75.0 million in gross proceeds was allocated to the identified components as follows (in thousands):
Liability related to sale of future royalties and milestones
$
63,879
Ligand Warrant
7,098
Purchaser Upsize Option
4,023
Total Ligand Purchase Agreement gross proceeds
$
75,000
As a result of our significant continuing involvement in the generation of the cash flows of the Purchased Assets, we are required to account for $ 63.9 million of the proceeds from this transaction as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet that will be recognized into revenue in proportion to the royalty and milestone payments paid to Ligand over the estimated life of the Ligand Purchase Agreement.
The Purchaser Upsize Option was considered a freestanding financial instrument as it was separately exercisable and could be legally transferred from the Ligand Purchase Agreement. As such, it was accounted for as a written option which was accounted for as a liability at fair value and remeasured at each balance sheet date with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. The fair value of the Purchaser Upsize Option at June 30, 2025 was nil as it expired unexercised.
The Ligand Warrant is considered a freestanding financial instrument that as it is separately exercisable and can be legally transferred from the Ligand Purchase Agreement, which was determined to be equity-classified under ASC 815.
To allocate the proceeds, the Purchaser Upsize Option liability and equity-classified Ligand Warrants were recognized based on their fair values and the residual was allocated to a liability related to the sale of future royalties and milestones on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded $ 8.7 million of non-cash interest expense related to the Ligand Purchase Agreement.
As royalties are remitted to us and milestone and sales are earned from the Purchased Assets, the balance of the recorded liability will be effectively repaid over the life of the Ligand Purchase Agreement. To determine the amortization of the recorded liability, we are required to estimate the total amount of future payments that Ligand is entitled to under the Ligand Purchase Agreement. The sum of these amounts less the $ 63.9 million proceeds allocated to the liability related to sale of future royalties and milestones will be recorded as interest expense over the life of the Ligand Purchase Agreement. Periodically, we assess the estimated royalty and milestone payments to be received and sales to be earned under the Ligand Purchase Agreement, and to the extent the amount or timing of the payments is materially different from our original estimates, we will prospectively adjust the amortization of the liability, and the related recognition of interest expense. As of June 30, 2025, our estimate of the effective annual interest rate over the life of the Ligand Purchase Agreement decreased to 21.0 %, which results in a life of contract interest rate of 21.4 %.

Long-term investments are included in "Other long-term assets" in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We measure our contingent purchase price considerations at fair value. The fair values of our contingent purchase price considerations at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, of $ 0.3 million, included in "Other long-term liabilities" in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, are based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which require them to be reported as Level 3 liabilities within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of these liabilities use assumptions we believe would be made by a market participant and are mainly based on estimates from a Monte Carlo simulation of our share price, as well as other factors
13
impacting the probability of triggering the milestone payments. Share price was evolved using a geometric Brownian motion, calculated daily for the life of the contingent purchase price considerations.
The fair value of our outstanding debt balance at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $ 35.5 million and $ 36.3 million, respectively, based on the Level 2 valuation hierarchy of the fair value measurements standard using a present value methodology that was derived by evaluating the nature and terms of each note and considering the prevailing economic and market conditions at the balance sheet date. The principal amount of our outstanding debt balance at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $ 35.8 million and $ 35.2 million, respectively.

Contract Balances
Contract assets primarily relate to our rights to consideration for work completed in relation to our research and development services performed but not billed at the reporting date. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. Currently, we do not have any contract assets which have not transferred to a receivable. We had no asset impairment charges related to contract assets in the period. Contract liabilities primarily relate to contracts where we received payments but have not yet satisfied the related performance obligations. The advance consideration received from customers for research and development services or licenses bundled with other promises is a contract liability until the underlying performance obligations are transferred to the customer.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025 , we did not recognize any revenue from amounts included in the contract asset or the contract liability balances from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. No ne of the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract were capitalized.
Note J – Share-based Compensation Plans
In June 2025, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2019 EIP") that increased the maximum number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under our 2019 EIP by 7.0 million shares.
We primarily use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock options granted to employees and non-employees, including stock options granted to members of our Board of Directors. However, the fair value of stock option market-based awards is calculated based on a Monte Carlo simulation as of the date of issuance. All stock options have 10-year terms and generally vest ratably over a 3 or 4 -year period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, all options were granted with exercise prices equal to the market value of the underlying shares of common stock on the grant date other than certain awards dated June 18, 2025. In May 2025, our Board of Directors approved certain awards subject to forfeiture in the event stockholder approval was not obtained for an amendment to our 2019 EIP. This approval was obtained in June 2025. Accordingly, these awards have a grant date of June 2025, with an exercise price as of the date the Board of Director's approved the awards in May 2025.
As of June 30, 2025 , there was approximately $ 8.6 million of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to these stock options and stock options granted under subsidiary plans which, if all milestones are achieved, will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years.
Certain employees and consultants have been granted non-vested stock. The fair value of non-vested market-based awards is calculated based on a Monte Carlo simulation as of the date of issuance. The fair value of other non-vested stock is calculated based on the closing sale price of our common stock on the date of issuance.

The Registration Statement included both a base prospectus that covered the potential offering, issuance and sale from time to time of up to $ 300.0 million of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities and units of Agenus and a prospectus supplement for the potential offer and sale of up to 6,725,642 shares of common stock (the “Initial ATM Shares”) in “at the market” offerings pursuant to an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement by and between Agenus and B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the “Sales Agent”), dated as of July 22, 2020 (the “Sales Agreement”). On August 8, 2024, we filed an additional prospectus supplement for the potential offer and sale of up to an additional 13,834,015 shares of common stock (together with the Initial ATM Shares, the “Placement Shares”) in “at the market” offerings pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Sales pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be made only upon our instruction to the Sales Agent, and we cannot provide assurances that we will issue any additional Placement Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 , we received net proceeds of approximately $ 12.2 million and $ 18.6 million from the sale of approximately 3.1 million and 5.9 million shares, respectively, of our common stock in at-the-market offerings under the Sales Agreement.

The aggregate purchase price paid by the Purchaser for the MiNK Common Shares was approximately $ 5.8 million, net of offering expenses.
Note N – Related Party Transactions
In June 2024, Dr. Jennifer Buell was appointed to our Board of Directors. Dr. Buell's spouse is a partner in the law firm of Wolf, Greenfield & Sachs, P.C. (“Wolf Greenfield”), which provides us legal services. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we expensed Wolf Greenfield fees totaling approximately $ 66,000 and $ 162,000 , respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we expensed Wolf Greenfield fees totaling approximately $ 57,000 and $ 99,000 , respectively. Dr. Buell’s spouse does not receive direct compensation from the fees we pay Wolf Greenfield and the fees we paid to Wolf Greenfield in the period were an insignificant amount of Wolf Greenfield’s revenues. Our Audit and Finance Committee approved these services under its related-party transactions policy.
Note O – Segment Information
We are managed and currently operate as four segments. However, we have concluded that our operating segments meet the criteria required by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280 to be aggregated into one reportable segment. Our operating segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar with respect to the five qualitative characteristics specified in ASC 280. Accordingly, we have one reportable segment. Our one reportable segment is focused on the discovery, development and manufacturing of a comprehensive pipeline of immunological agents designed to expand patient populations benefiting from cancer immunotherapy.
Our Chief Executive Officer serves as our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and is responsible for reviewing company performance and making decisions regarding resource allocation. Our CODM evaluates company performance based on net loss, as included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, ensuring resource allocation decisions

support company goals. The measure of segment assets is total assets, as included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to the condensed consolidated financial statements for other financial information regarding our single reportable segment.

Note P – Contingencies
In September 2024, a putative securities class action lawsuit captioned In re Agenus Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 1:24-cv-12299, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts (the “Court”) against the Company and certain of its executives and directors. The Court appointed a lead plaintiff pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, and the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint on February 7, 2025. The amended complaint alleges that Agenus, three of its current officers, and one member of its advisory board violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, by making false and misleading statements and omissions of material fact related to the efficacy and commercial prospects of botensilimab and balstilimab. The lead plaintiff seeks to represent all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Agenus securities between January 23, 2023, and July 17, 2024, and seeks damages and interest, and an award of costs, including attorneys’ fees. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on April 8, 2025, which motion remains pending. We are unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, that could result were there to be an adverse decision in this action.
The Company has been served with four derivative actions filed in the Court between November 2024 and January 2025 by purported stockholders. The actions name certain of the Company’s executives and directors and allege that the defendants made false or misleading statements and omissions of material fact related to the efficacy and commercial prospects of botensilimab and balstilimab. On May 2, 2025, the Court consolidated the four actions in Case No. 1:24-cv-12823 and stayed all deadlines pending future developments in the securities class action. We are unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, that could result were there to be an adverse decision in this action.
In September 2024, we received a subpoena from the Boston Regional Office of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission seeking records relating to certain of our product candidates, correspondence with the FDA, public disclosure, and other matters. We have produced records pursuant to the subpoena. We are unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, that could result were there to be an adverse decision in this action.
Note Q – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued, Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires incremental annual disclosures around income tax rate reconciliations, income taxes paid and other related disclosures. For public business entities, ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and is applicable for disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K beginning with the year ending December 31, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2023-09 will have on the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
18
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE). This new guidance requires all public entities to incorporate disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. Public entities must adopt ASU 2024-03 prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the six months ended June 30, 2025 had or is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
Note R – Subsequent Events
At the Market Offerings
During the period of July 1, 2025 through August 7, 2025, we sold approximately 787,000 shares of our common stock under the Sales Agreement, totaling net proceeds of approximately $ 5.2 million.
MiNK Therapeutics Ownership
In July 2025, our ownership percentage of MiNK dropped below 50 %, resulting in a loss of control. As a result, MiNK will no longer be consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. We are currently evaluating the financial statement impact and expect the loss of control to be reflected in our consolidated financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2025.
