NOTES
TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(For
the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024)
1.
Organization
Nature
of Business
Celcuity
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of
targeted therapies for the treatment of multiple solid tumor indications. The Company’s lead therapeutic candidate is
gedatolisib, a kinase inhibitor of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (“PI3K”), serine/threonine-protein kinase protein
kinase B (“AKT”), mechanistic target of rapamycin (“mTOR”) pathway that binds to all Class I PI3K isoforms
and the mTOR complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2. By targeting all Class I PI3K isoforms and mTORC1/2, gedatolisib induces comprehensive
inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR (“PAM”) pathway. Gedatolisib’s mechanism of action and pharmacokinetic properties
are differentiated from other currently approved and investigational therapies that target PI3K or mTOR alone or together. A Phase 3
clinical trial, VIKTORIA-1, evaluating gedatolisib in combination with fulvestrant with or without palbociclib in patients with
hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) (“HR+/HER2-”) advanced breast
cancer has completed enrollment of and reported topline data for cohort 1, patients with PIK3CA wild-type (“WT”)
tumors, and is continuing to enroll cohort 2, patients with PIK3CA mutant-type (“MT”) tumors. Our Phase 3
clinical trial, VIKTORIA-2, evaluating gedatolisib in combination with a cyclin-dependent kinase (“CDK”) 4/6 inhibitor
and fulvestrant as first-line treatment for patients with endocrine treatment resistant HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer is
currently enrolling patients. The first patient was dosed in July of 2025. A Phase 1b/2 clinical trial, CELC-G-201, evaluating
gedatolisib in combination with darolutamide in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer, is ongoing. The
Company was co-founded in 2012 by Brian F. Sullivan and Dr. Lance G. Laing and is based in Minnesota. The Company has not generated
any revenue to date.

Basis of Presentation, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with Article
10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, as permitted by Article
10, the unaudited condensed financial statements do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The balance sheet at December 31, 2024 was derived from the audited financial statements
at that date and does not include all the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are
of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in the financial statements. These unaudited condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024
and the related footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Operating
results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected during the remainder
of the current year or for any other future period.
Accounting
Estimates
Management
uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these unaudited condensed financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Those estimates
and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported
revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the difference could be material. Significant items subject
to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of stock-based compensation and prepaid or accrued clinical trial costs.
Risks
and Uncertainties
The
Company is subject to risks common to companies in the development stage including, but not limited to, the clinical and commercial success
of its initial drug product, gedatolisib, the regulatory approval of gedatolisib, the need for substantial additional financing to achieve
its goals, uncertainty of broad adoption of its approved products, if any, by physicians and consumers, and significant competition.

CELCUITY
INC.
NOTES
TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(For
the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024)
Clinical
Trial Costs
The
Company relies on third parties to conduct certain aspects of clinical studies and to formulate and manufacture our drug product. While
there are alternative vendors that can perform these functions, any disruption or delay by the Company’s current third parties
in carrying out their contractual duties could delay the clinical trials. The Company records prepaid assets or accrued expenses for
prepaid or estimated clinical trial costs conducted by third-party service providers, which includes the conduct of preclinical studies
and clinical trials. These costs can be a significant component of the Company’s research and development expenses. The Company
primarily relies on a compilation of progress reports from third-party service providers, including the respective invoicing, to record
actual expenses, along with determining changes to prepaid assets and accrued liabilities. To date, the Company believes utilization
of third-party reports most accurately reflects expenses incurred. With the ongoing VIKTORIA-1 and VIKTORIA-2 Phase 3 clinical trials,
and the CELC-G-201 Phase 1b/2 clinical trial, the Company’s estimated expenses in future periods and actual services performed
may vary from these estimates, and these estimates may become more significant. Changes in these estimates that result in material changes
to the Company’s prepaid assets or accrued expenses could materially affect the Company’s results of operations and financial
position.
3.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic
and diluted net loss per common share is determined by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average
common shares outstanding during the period. For all periods presented, the common shares underlying the preferred stock, options, warrants,
and restricted stock have been excluded from the calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average
shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted loss per common share are the same.
The
following potential common shares were not considered in the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would have been
anti-dilutive for the three and six-month periods presented below:

Pre-funded
warrant shares of 5,747,787 are included in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for each of the three and six months
ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, as the pre-funded warrants are exercisable for nominal consideration.
4.
Investments
Debt
securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and reported
at historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Expected credit losses, if any, are recorded through
the establishment of an allowance for credit losses. All of the Company’s held-to-maturity
investment securities are U.S. Treasury and agencies securities that are guaranteed or otherwise
supported by the United States government and have no history of credit losses. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to incur any
credit losses on held-to-maturity investment securities and has no allowance
for credit losses recorded for these securities.

parties that include, among others, arrangements with vendors, consultants, contract manufacturing organizations, and contract research
organizations. The Company has a license agreement in place with Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) to research, develop, manufacture
and commercialize gedatolisib. In conjunction with the license agreement, the Company completed a Phase 1b clinical trial, B2151009,
related to gedatolisib. These patients subsequently transitioned to an Expanded Access study, CELC-G-001. Contracts related to
the Expanded Access study are generally based on time and material. In addition, contracts related to the Company’s Phase 3 clinical
studies (VIKTORIA-1 and VIKTORIA-2) and the Phase 1b/2 clinical trial (CELC-G-201) are generally cancelable with reasonable notice within
120 days and the Company’s obligations under these contracts are primarily based on services performed through termination dates
plus certain cancelation charges, if any, as defined in each of the respective agreements. In addition, these agreements may, from time
to time, be subject to amendments as a result of any change orders executed by the parties. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had three
material non-cancelable contractual commitments with respect to these arrangements, which totaled approximately $ 3.6 million.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, options in the amount of 2,561

The
Black-Scholes option-pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of equity-based awards with the following weighted-average assumptions
for the six months ended June 30:

The
inputs for the Black-Scholes valuation model require management’s significant assumptions. Prior to the Company’s initial
public offering, the price per share of common stock was determined by the Company’s board based on recent prices of common stock
sold in private offerings. Subsequent to the initial public offering, the price per share of common stock is determined by using the
closing market price on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the grant date. The risk-free interest rates are based on the rate for U.S. Treasury
securities at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. The expected life is
based on the simplified method for the time-based awards in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Nos. 107 and 110. The expected
volatility is estimated based on historical volatility information of peer companies that are publicly available in combination with
the Company’s calculated volatility since being publicly traded.
All
assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of non-employee options are generally consistent with the assumptions used for
options granted to employees. In the event the Company terminates any of its consulting agreements, the unvested options issued in connection
with the agreements would also be cancelled.
Restricted

Restricted
stock awards (“RSAs”) granted to members of the Company’s board during the three and six months ended June 30,

Debt
On
May 30, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “A&R Loan Agreement”)
with Innovatus Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Innovatus”), as collateral agent, and the
Lenders including Innovatus in its capacity as a Lender and Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford”), pursuant to which Innovatus and
Oxford, as Lenders, have agreed to make certain term loans (“Term Loans”) to the Company in the aggregate principal amount
of up to $ 180 million. The A&R Loan Agreement amends and restates, in its entirety, that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated
April 8, 2021, as amended, between the Company and Innovatus, as collateral agent, and the Lenders named therein (the “Prior Loan
Agreement”).
Funding
of the first $ 100
million under the A&R Loan Agreement occurred on May 30, 2024, including tranche payments of $ 16.8
million (the “Term A Loan”) and $ 21.5
million (the “Term B Loan”) reflecting repayment of the principal amount of loans under the Prior Loan Agreement plus
accrued payment-in-kind interest, in addition to $ 61.7
million of new borrowings (the “Term C Loan”). The Company became eligible to draw on a fourth tranche of $ 30
million (the “Term D Loan”) as of July 28, 2025 and will become eligible to draw on a fifth tranche of $ 50
million (the “Term E Loan”) upon achievement of certain clinical trial milestones and satisfaction of
certain financial covenants. The Lenders may, in their sole discretion upon the
Company’s request, make additional term loans to the Company of $ 45
million (the “Term F Loan”). Funding of these additional tranches is also subject to other customary conditions and
limits on when the Company can request funding for such tranches. Costs associated with the new borrowings were approximately $ 2.4
million.
Pursuant
to the A&R Loan Agreement, the
Company is entitled to make interest-only payments for thirty-six months, or up to forty-eight months if certain conditions are met.
The Term Loans will mature on May 1, 2029 and will bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (a) the greater of (i) the Prime Rate
(as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement) or (ii) 7.75%, plus (b) 2.85%, provided that 1.0% of such interest will be payable
in-kind by adding an amount equal to such 1.0% of the outstanding principal amount to the then outstanding principal balance on a
monthly basis through May 31, 2027. The A&R Loan Agreement is secured by all assets of the Company. Proceeds will be used
for working capital purposes and to fund the Company’s general business requirements, including the ongoing Phase 3 VIKTORIA-1
clinical trial, the Phase 1b/2 CELC-G-201 clinical trial, and the Phase 3 VIKTORIA-2 clinical trial. The A&R Loan Agreement
contains customary representations and warranties and covenants, subject to customary carve-outs, and includes financial covenants
related to liquidity and other financial measures. Innovatus has the right, at its election and until August 9, 2025, to
convert up to 20 %
of the outstanding principal of the Term A Loan into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $ 10.00 .
Innovatus will continue to have the right to exercise a previously disclosed warrant granted to it under the Prior Loan Agreement to
purchase 26,042
shares of common stock at a price per share of $ 14.40
through April 8, 2031.

CELCUITY

NOTES
TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(For
the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024)
The
A&R Loan Agreement contains a Final Fee, which is equal to 4.5 % of the initial funding of the agreement and is due on the earliest
to occur of (a) the Maturity Date, (b) the acceleration of any Term Loan, and (c) the prepayment of the Term Loans. There is also a contingent
non-utilization fee for both the Term D and Term E Loans. Because the Company achieved the Term D Milestone on July 28, 2025, if the Company (i) fails to draw the full
amount of the Term D Loan during the Term D Draw Period and (ii) fails to notify Collateral Agent, at any time before the date that is
four weeks after the Company’s achievement of the Term D Milestone, of the Company’s intent not to draw the full amount of
the Term D Loan, a non-utilization fee of $ 0.9 million with respect to the Term D Loan shall become due and payable on the earliest
of (i) the termination of the Term D Draw Period, (ii) the Maturity Date, (iii) the acceleration of any Term Loan, and (iv) the prepayment
in whole of the Term Loans. If the Company achieves the Term E Milestone and (i) fails to draw the full amount of the Term E Loan during
the Term E Draw Period and (ii) fails to notify Collateral Agent, at any time before the date that is four weeks after the Company’s
achievement of the Term E Milestone, of the Company’s intent not to draw the full amount of the Term E Loan, a non-utilization
fee of $ 1.5 million with respect to the Term E Loan shall become due and payable on the earliest of (i) the termination of the Term
E Draw Period, (ii) the Maturity Date, (iii) the acceleration of any Term Loan, and (iv) the prepayment in whole of the Term Loans. After
the 18-month anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loans
advanced by the Lenders under the A&R Loan Agreement, provided the Company (i) provides written notice to Collateral Agent of its
election to prepay the Term Loans at least seven business days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays to Lenders on the date of such
prepayment, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of (A) all outstanding
principal of the Term Loans plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, (B) the Final Fee, (C) the Prepayment
Fee, plus (D) all other outstanding Obligations that are due and payable, including, without limitation, Lenders’ Expenses and
interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts. At May 30, 2024, the Company recognized the Final Fee of $ 4.5 million
as additional debt principal and a corresponding debt discount to be amortized over the life of the loan.
In
connection with the funding of each of the Term C Loan, the Term D Loan, the Term E Loan and the Term F Loan, the Company agreed to issue
to Innovatus and Oxford warrants to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 2.5 % of the principal
amount of the applicable Term Loan divided by the exercise price, which shall, with respect to the Term C Loan, be equal to the lower
of (i) the volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five-trading day period ending on the last
trading day immediately preceding the execution of the A&R Loan Agreement or (ii) the closing price on the last trading day immediately
preceding the execution of the A&R Loan Agreement. Accordingly, on May 30, 2024, the Company issued 103,876 warrants with an exercise
price of $ 14.84 per share. The relative fair value of the warrants was approximately $ 1.2 million. For the additional Term Loans, the
exercise price will be based on the lower of (i) the exercise price for the Warrants issued pursuant to the Term C Loan or (ii) the volume
weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five-trading day period ending on the last trading day immediately
preceding the applicable Term Loan funding. The Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and are exercisable through the tenth anniversary
of the applicable funding date. The number of shares of common stock for which each Warrant is exercisable and the associated exercise
price are subject to certain proportional adjustments as set forth in such Warrant.
On
May 13, 2025, the Company entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the A&R Loan Agreement, pursuant
to which the Company agreed to (i) pay Oxford an amendment fee of $40,000 on the effective date of the First Amendment, (ii) extend to
March 9, 2026 the expiration date of Innovatus’ right to convert up to 20% of the outstanding principal of the Term A Loan into
shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $10.00, (iii) extend the expiration date of the Term D Draw Period
to the earlier of (x) August 31, 2025 and (y) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement), (iv)
update the liquidity covenant to increase the Minimum Liquidity Percentage (as defined in the First Amendment) to 50% if the Company
fails to achieve the Term D Milestone prior to June 1, 2025 and to decrease the Minimum Liquidity Percentage back to 30% if the Company
subsequently achieves the Term D Milestone prior to the end of the Term D Draw Period, and (v) release Innovatus and the Lenders from
any and all claims arising out of or related to the A&R Loan Agreement, the First Amendment and related documentation.
The
Company evaluated the change of terms under ASC 470-50, “Debt – Modification and Extinguishment”, and concluded the
change in terms did not result in significant and consequential changes to the economic substance of the debt and thus resulted in a
modification of the debt and not an extinguishment of the debt.

License Agreement
On
April 8, 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement with Pfizer to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize gedatolisib,
a potent, investigational, multi-target PAM inhibitor that potently targets all four Class I PI3K isoforms, mTORC1, and mTORC2
to induce comprehensive blockade of the PAM pathway.
The Company paid Pfizer $ 5.0 million in upfront fees and issued to Pfizer $ 5.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock
pursuant to an Equity Grant Agreement.
The
Company is also required to make milestone payments to Pfizer upon achievement of certain development and commercial milestone events,
up to an aggregate of $ 335.0 million. One of these milestone events requires a $ 5.0 million payment within 60 days following the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regulatory filing of a New Drug Application (“NDA”) for gedatolisib. The Company has determined the NDA filing with the
FDA is now probable and has recorded this as a research and development expense during the three and six months ended June 30,
2025. Additionally, the Company will pay Pfizer tiered royalties on sales of gedatolisib at percentages ranging from the low to mid-teens,
which may be subject to deductions for expiration of valid patent claims, amounts due under third-party licenses and generic competition.
Unless earlier terminated, the license agreement will expire upon the expiration of all royalty obligations. The royalty period will
expire on a country-by-country basis upon the later of (a) 12 years following the date of first commercial sale of such product in such
country, (b) the expiration of all regulatory or data exclusivity in such country for such product, or (c) the date upon which the manufacture,
use, sale, offer for sale or importation of such product in such country would no longer infringe, but for the license granted in the
license agreement, a valid claim of a licensed patent right.
The
Company has the right to terminate the license agreement for convenience upon 90 days’ prior written notice. Pfizer may not terminate
the agreement for convenience. Either the Company or Pfizer may terminate the license agreement if the other party is in material breach
and such breach is not cured within the specified cure period. In addition, either the Company or Pfizer may terminate the license agreement
in the event of specified insolvency events involving the other party.

Subsequent Events
Second
Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement
On
July 28, 2025, the Company entered into the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the A&R Loan Agreement,
pursuant to which the A&R Loan Agreement was amended to (i) subject to certain terms and conditions, permit the issuance of the
Notes (as defined below) and certain transactions in connection therewith, including the conversion thereof settled solely in common
stock (together with cash in lieu of the issuance of any fractional share of common stock), (ii) permit capped call transactions in
connection with the pricing of the Notes, (iii) require an amendment fee payable by the Company to Oxford in the amount of $ 25,000 ,
which was paid upon execution of the Second Amendment, and (iv) extend to May
9, 2026 the expiration date of Innovatus’ right to convert up to 20 %
of the outstanding principal of the Term A Loan into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $ 10.00 .

in connection with the release of the topline data from the wild-type cohort of the VIKTORIA-1 Phase 3 clinical trial, the Company achieved the Term D Milestone (as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement) and therefore is eligible to draw an additional $ 30.0
million of indebtedness under the Term D Loan (as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement). The Company intends to draw down such $ 30.0 million in

Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 335,526
shares of common stock (the “Option Shares”), less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Underwriters exercised
their option to purchase the Option Shares in full on July 30, 2025. The Equity Offering was completed on July 31, 2025.
The
net proceeds from the Equity Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, were
approximately $ 91.6
million, including the proceeds from the Underwriters’ exercise of their option in full to purchase the Option Shares. The
Company may also receive nominal proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants.
Each
Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.001 per share, or alternatively, at the election
of each holder, shares of common stock may be issued through a cashless exercise, with the net number of shares of common stock determined
according to the formula set forth in each Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after the date of
issuance until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants
are exercised. A holder (together with its “attribution parties,” as defined in the Pre-Funded Warrant) may not exercise
any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants if immediately after exercise, the holder (together with its attribution parties), would beneficially
own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. However,
a holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99%, which increase or decrease shall not
become effective until 61 days after notice from the holder to the Company.
July
2025 Convertible Notes Offering
On
July 30, 2025, the Company also entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Note Underwriting Agreement”) with the
Underwriters, subject to customary conditions, to issue and sell in a public offering $ 175,000,000
aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.750 %
Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”) to the Underwriters (the “Note Offering”). In addition,
pursuant to the Note Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $ 26,250,000
aggregate principal amount of Notes solely to cover over-allotments. On July 30, 2025, the Underwriters exercised such option to
purchase an additional $ 26,250,000
aggregate principal amount of Notes. The issuance of $ 201,250,000
aggregate principal amount of Notes was completed on August 1, 2025. The Notes were issued
pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of August 1, 2025, between the Company
and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a first supplemental
indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the
“Indenture”), dated as of August 1, 2025, between the Company and the Trustee. The net proceeds from the Note Offering,
after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, were approximately $ 194.9
million, including the proceeds from the Underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full.

NOTES
TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(For
the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024)
The
Notes are general, unsecured, senior obligations of the Company. The Notes will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears on February
1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2026, at a rate equal to 2.750 % per year. In addition, special interest will accrue
on the Notes upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Company’s failure to file certain reports with the SEC as provided
in the Indenture and as described below. The Notes also have customary provisions relating to the occurrence of “Events of Default”
(as defined in the Indenture) with certain interest penalty provisions. The Notes will mature on August 1, 2031 , unless earlier converted,
redeemed or repurchased by the Company.
Noteholders
may convert their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding
the maturity date based on an initial conversion rate of 19.4932 shares of common stock, per $ 1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which
is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $ 51.30 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to customary
adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Indenture. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute
a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances,
be increased for a specified period of time.
The
Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations described below), at the Company’s option at any
time, and from time to time, on a redemption date on or after August 6, 2029 and on or before the 51st scheduled trading day immediately
before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the common stock exceeds
130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days
ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading
day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. However, the Company may not redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes
unless at least $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time the Company
sends the related redemption notice. In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with
respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances
if it is converted after it is called for redemption.
If
a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occurs, then, subject to certain conditions and except as set forth
in the Indenture, noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount
of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The definition in the Indenture of a Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and
certain de-listing events with respect to the common stock.
Lastly,
the Notes contain a beneficial ownership limitation, and as a result of such limitation, noteholders do not have the right to convert
all or any portion of the Notes held by such noteholder, to the extent that immediately prior to, or immediately after giving effect
to such conversion by such noteholder, together with its affiliates and any other persons acting as a group together with such noteholder
or any of such noteholder’s affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding
immediately prior to, and immediately after giving effect to, the conversion of all or any portion of the Notes; provided, that such
4.99% beneficial ownership can be increased or decreased at the discretion of the noteholder; provided further, that such limitation
in no event can exceed 19.99%.

Overview
Celcuity
is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of targeted therapies for the treatment of multiple solid tumor
indications. The Company’s lead therapeutic candidate is gedatolisib, a kinase inhibitor of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase
(“PI3K”), serine/threonine-protein kinase protein kinase B (“AKT”), mechanistic target of rapamycin
(“mTOR”) pathway that binds to all Class I PI3K isoforms and the mTOR complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2. By targeting all
Class I PI3K isoforms and mTORC1/2, gedatolisib induces comprehensive inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR (“PAM”) pathway.
Its mechanism of action and pharmacokinetic properties are differentiated from other currently approved and investigational
therapies that target PI3K, AKT, or mTOR alone or together. Our Phase 3 clinical trial, VIKTORIA-1, evaluating gedatolisib in
combination with fulvestrant with or without palbociclib in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth
factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) (“HR+/HER2-”) advanced breast cancer has completed enrollment of and reported topline
data for cohort 1, patients with PIK3CA wild-type (“WT”) tumors, and is continuing to enroll cohort 2, patients
with PIK3CA mutant-type (“MT”) tumors. Our Phase 3 clinical trial, VIKTORIA-2, evaluating gedatolisib in
combination with a cyclin-dependent kinase (“CDK”) 4/6 inhibitor and fulvestrant as first-line treatment for patients
with endocrine treatment resistant HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer is currently enrolling patients. The first patient was dosed in
July of 2025. A Phase 1b/2 clinical trial, CELC-G-201, evaluating gedatolisib in combination with darolutamide in patients with
metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (“mCRPC”), is ongoing. An investigator sponsored trial has been
initiated in collaboration with the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital to evaluate gedatolisib in
combination with abemaciclib and letrozole in patients with endometrial cancer.
In
April 2021, we obtained exclusive global development and commercialization rights to gedatolisib under a license agreement with Pfizer.
We believe gedatolisib’s unique mechanism of action, differentiated chemical structure, favorable pharmacokinetic properties, and
intravenous route of administration offer distinct advantages over currently approved and investigational therapies that target PI3K,
AKT, or mTOR alone or together.
●
Overcomes
limitations of therapies that only inhibit a single Class I PI3K isoform, AKT, or one mTOR kinase complex.
Gedatolisib
is a pan-class I isoform PI3K inhibitor with low nanomolar potency for the p110α, p110β, p110γ, and p110δ isoforms
and the mTORC1 and mTORC2 complexes. By targeting all Class I PI3K isoforms and mTORC1/2, gedatolisib induces comprehensive inhibition
of the PAM pathway. Each PI3K isoform and mTOR complex is known to preferentially affect different signal transduction events that involve
tumor cell survival, depending upon the aberrations associated with the linked pathway. When a therapy only inhibits a single Class I
PI3K isoform (e.g., alpelisib, a PI3K-α inhibitor), AKT (e.g., capivasertib, an AKT inhibitor) or only one mTOR kinase complex
(e.g., everolimus, an mTORC1 inhibitor), numerous feedforward and feedback loops between the PI3K isoforms and mTOR complexes cross-activate
the uninhibited sub-units. This, in turn, induces compensatory resistance that reduces the efficacy of isoform specific PI3K, AKT, or
mTORC1 kinase inhibitors. Inhibiting all four PI3K isoforms and both mTOR complexes, as gedatolisib does, thus prevents the confounding
effect of isoform interaction that may occur with isoform-specific PI3K inhibitors and the confounding interaction between PI3K isoforms,
AKT, and mTOR.
●
Better
tolerated by patients than oral PI3K and mTOR drugs.
Gedatolisib
is administered intravenously on a four-week cycle of three weeks-on, one week-off, in contrast to the orally administered pan-PI3K or
dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitors that are no longer being clinically developed. Oral pan-PI3K or PI3K/mTOR inhibitors have repeatably been found
to induce significant side effects that were not well tolerated by patients. This typically leads to a high proportion of patients requiring
dose reductions or treatment discontinuation. The challenging toxicity profile of these drug candidates ultimately played a significant
role in the decisions to halt their development, despite showing promising efficacy. By contrast, gedatolisib’s comprehensive inhibition
of the PAM pathway at low nanomolar potency, IV route of administration, and pharmacokinetic properties enables it to achieve optimal
anti-proliferative effects on tumor cells without inducing the levels of hyperglycemia, rash, and diarrhea typically associated with
oral single-node inhibitors of the PAM pathway.
18
Isoform-specific
PI3K inhibitors administered orally were developed to reduce toxicities in patients. While the range of toxicities associated with
isoform-specific inhibitors is narrower than oral pan-PI3K or PI3K/mTOR inhibitors, administering them orally on a continuous basis
can still lead to challenging toxicities. The experience with an FDA approved oral p110-α specific inhibitor, PIQRAY,
illustrates the challenge. In its Phase 3 pivotal trial, PIQRAY was found to induce a Grade 3 or 4 adverse event (“AE”)
related to hyperglycemia in 39% of patients evaluated. In addition, 26% of patients discontinued alpelisib due to treatment related
AEs. By contrast, in the 103-patient dose expansion portion of the Phase 1b clinical trial with gedatolisib, only 7% of patients
experienced Grade 3 or 4 hyperglycemia and less than 9% discontinued treatment.
As
of June 30, 2025, 492 patients with solid tumors have received gedatolisib in eight completed clinical trials. Of the 492 patients, 129
were treated with gedatolisib as a single agent in three clinical trials. The remaining 363 patients received gedatolisib in combination
with other anti-cancer agents in five clinical trials. Additional patients received gedatolisib in combination with other anti-cancer
agents in nine investigator sponsored clinical trials.
B2151009
Phase 1b Trial
A
Phase 1b clinical trial (B2151009) evaluating patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer was initiated in 2016 and
subsequently enrolled 138 patients. Four patients from this study continue to receive study treatment, as of June 30, 2025, each of
whom has received study treatment for approximately five years. The B2151009 clinical trial was an open label, multiple arm Phase 1b
clinical trial that evaluated gedatolisib in combination with palbociclib (CDK 4/6 inhibitor) and fulvestrant or letrozole in
patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer. Thirty-five patients were enrolled in two dose escalation arms to evaluate the
safety and tolerability and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (“MTD”) of gedatolisib when used in combination with
the standard doses of palbociclib and endocrine therapy (letrozole or fulvestrant). The MTD was determined to be 180 mg administered
intravenously once weekly. A total of 103 patients were subsequently enrolled in one of four expansion arms (A, B, C, and
D).
High
objective overall response rates (“ORR”) were observed in all four expansion arms and were comparable in each arm for PIK3CA
wild type (“WT”) and PIK3CA mutant (“MT”) patients. In patients who received prior hormonal therapy alone
or in combination with a CDK 4/6 inhibitor (Arms B, C, and D), the ORR (including unconfirmed partial responses) ranged from 36% to 77%.
In patients who were treatment naïve in the advanced setting (Arm A), the ORR was 85%. Each arm achieved its primary endpoint target,
which was reporting higher ORR in the study arm than the ORR from either the PALOMA-2 study (ORR=55%) that evaluated palbociclib plus
letrozole for Arm A or the PALOMA-3 study (ORR=25%) that evaluated palbociclib plus fulvestrant for Arms B, C, and D. For all patients
enrolled in the expansion portion of the study who had evaluable tumors, the ORR observed was 63%.
Median
progression-free survival (“PFS”) was 12.9 months for patients who received a prior CDK 4/6 inhibitor and were treated
in the study with the Phase 3 dosing schedule (Arm D). For all treatment naïve patients who received gedatolisib combined with
palbociclib plus letrozole in Expansion Arm A and Escalation Arm A (N=41), median PFS was 48.6 months and ORR was 79%. These results
compare favorably to published data for current first-line standard-of-care treatments for patients with HR+/HER2-advanced breast
cancer.
Gedatolisib
combined with palbociclib and endocrine therapy demonstrated a favorable safety profile with manageable toxicity. The majority of treatment
related AEs were Grades 1 and 2. The most frequently observed AEs included stomatitis/mucosal inflammation, the majority of which were
Grades 1 and 2. The most common Grade 4 AEs were neutropenia and neutrophil count decrease, which were assessed as related to treatment
with palbociclib. No Grade 5 events were reported in this study.
19
VIKTORIA-1
Phase 3 Trial
We
are currently enrolling patients in a Phase 3, open-label, randomized clinical trial, VIKTORIA-1, to evaluate the efficacy and
safety of two regimens in adults with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer whose disease has progressed after prior CDK 4/6 therapy in
combination with an aromatase inhibitor: 1) gedatolisib in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant; and 2) gedatolisib in
combination with fulvestrant. Over two hundred clinical sites in North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific are
participating in the study. The first patient was dosed in this trial in December 2022.
The
VIKTORA-1 Phase 3 clinical trial enables separate evaluation of subjects according to their PIK3CA status. Subjects who meet eligibility
criteria and have PIK3CA WT tumors were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive a regimen of either gedatolisib, palbociclib, and
fulvestrant (Arm A), gedatolisib and fulvestrant (Arm B), or fulvestrant (Arm C). During the fourth quarter of 2024, we achieved our
enrollment goal of 351 subjects for the PIK3CA WT cohort. The primary completion date for this cohort was achieved in May 2025
and the database cut-off date for this cohort was May 30, 2025. Topline data from the PIK3CA WT cohort was reported in July 2025.
See “Recent Developments,” below, for a summary of the topline data. Subjects who meet eligibility criteria and are PIK3CA
MT are randomly assigned (3:3:1) to receive a regimen of either gedatolisib, palbociclib, and fulvestrant (Arm D), alpelisib and fulvestrant
(Arm E), or gedatolisib and fulvestrant (Arm F). Enrollment of up to 350 subjects who have PIK3CA MT tumors is ongoing. We expect
topline data for this group to be available in the fourth quarter of 2025.
CELC-G-201
Phase 1b/2 Trial
We
received approval from the FDA in mid-2023 to proceed with the clinical development of gedatolisib in combination with Nubeqa® (darolutamide),
an approved androgen receptor inhibitor, for the treatment of patients with mCRPC. We have since initiated a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial,
CELC-G-201, that is enrolling patients with mCRPC who progressed after treatment with an androgen receptor inhibitor. The first patient
was dosed in this trial in February 2024.
The primary objectives of the Phase 1b portion of the trial include assessment of the safety and tolerability of gedatolisib in combination
with darolutamide and determination of the recommended Phase 2 dose (“RP2D”) of gedatolisib. The primary objective of the
Phase 2 portion of the trial is to assess the radiographic PFS at six months of patients who received the RP2D.
In
the Phase 1b portion of the clinical trial, 38 patients with mCRPC were randomly assigned to receive 600 mg of darolutamide twice
daily combined with either 120 mg of gedatolisib in Arm 1 or 180 mg of gedatolisib in Arm 2. In both arms, gedatolisib was
administered once weekly for three weeks, then one week off. Additionally, all patients received prophylactic treatment for
stomatitis.
On
June 30, 2025, we announced topline data for the CELC-G-201 Phase 1b trial, utilizing a May 30, 2025 data cut-off. The preliminary
efficacy and safety analyses for the combined arms showed:
●
The
six-month radiographic PFS was 66%.
●
No
patients discontinued treatment due to a treatment-related AE and no dose reductions were required with gedatolisib or darolutamide.
●
No
Grade 3 hyperglycemia was reported.
●
Grade
2-3 stomatitis was reported in four (10.5%) patients - three (7.9%) Grade 2 and one (2.6%) Grade 3.
Based
on these data, we have amended the clinical trial protocol to enable exploration of additional doses in the Phase 1b portion of this
clinical trial to determine the RP2D. Once RP2D is determined, an additional 12 participants will then be enrolled in the Phase 2 portion
of the study at the RP2D level to enable evaluation of 30 participants treated with the RP2D of gedatolisib.
Additional
preliminary results for the Phase 1b portion of the clinical trial will be presented at a medical conference later this year.
VIKTORIA-2
Phase 3 Trial
A
Phase 3, open-label, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of gedatolisib in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor
and fulvestrant as first-line treatment for patients with endocrine treatment resistant HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer (“VIKTORIA-2”)
is currently enrolling patients. The first patient was dosed in July of 2025. For the CDK 4/6 inhibitor, investigators may choose either
ribociclib or palbociclib. This multi-center, international trial is expected to enroll approximately 12–36 evaluable subjects
in the safety run-in portion of the study to evaluate the safety of gedatolisib when combined with ribociclib and fulvestrant. In the
Phase 3 portion of the study, approximately 638 subjects will be randomized and assigned to Cohort 1 (PIK3CA WT) or Cohort 2 ( PIK3CA
MT) based on their PIK3CA status. Subjects in each cohort will be randomized on a 1:1 basis to either Arm A (gedatolisib with
fulvestrant and ribociclib or palbociclib) or Arm B (fulvestrant and ribociclib or palbociclib). It is expected that approximately 200
clinical sites across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific will participate.
20
Investigator-Sponsored
Phase 2 Trial
In
an investigator-sponsored Phase 2 clinical trial, 44 patients with HER2+/ PIK3CA mutated metastatic breast cancer were treated
with gedatolisib plus standard doses of trastuzumab-pkrb. No prophylaxis for stomatitis was administered. The median number of prior
anti-HER2 therapies enrolled patients received in the metastatic setting was four or more; 86% of patients had received at least three
prior anti-HER2 therapies. The data cut-off was February 10, 2025.
Key
efficacy and safety results, as presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncologists meeting in June 2025, showed:
●
The
ORR among all patients enrolled was 43%.
●
Median
PFS was 6.0 months (95% CI, 5.0-7.7).
●
Median
overall survival was 24.7 months (95% CI; 17.3-NA).
●
No
patients discontinued gedatolisib due to a treatment-related AE.
●
One
(2.3%) patient experienced Grade 3 hyperglycemia.
Recent
Developments
New
Patent Issuance
On
July 8, 2025, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) issued to the Company U.S. Patent No. 12,350,276 covering the clinical dosing
regimen for gedatolisib in HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer patients. The patent extends our patent exclusivity in the U.S. into August
2042. The USPTO previously issued five U.S. patents directed to gedatolisib’s composition of matter, four U.S. patents directed
to various formulations comprising gedatolisib, and three U.S. patents directed to methods of using gedatolisib. The worldwide gedatolisib-related
patent portfolio now comprises 13 granted gedatolisib-related patents in the U.S. and 290 patents granted in foreign jurisdictions.
VIKTORIA-1
Topline Data for PIK3CA WT Cohort
On
July 28, 2025, we announced topline data from the PIK3CA WT cohort of the VIKTORIA-1 clinical trial. The key efficacy and safety
data from the PIK3CA WT cohort showed:
●
The
gedatolisib triplet (gedatolisib, fulvestrant and palbociclib) demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful
improvement in PFS among patients, reducing the risk of disease progression or death by 76% compared to fulvestrant (based on a hazard
ratio [HR] of 0.24, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.17-0.35; p<0.0001). The median PFS, as assessed by blinded independent central
review (“BICR”), was 9.3 months with the gedatolisib triplet versus 2.0 months with fulvestrant, an incremental improvement
of 7.3 months.
●
The
gedatolisib doublet (gedatolisib and fulvestrant) also demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement
in PFS among patients, reducing the risk of disease progression or death by 67% compared to fulvestrant (HR of 0.33, 95% CI 0.24-0.48;
p<0.0001). The median PFS, as assessed by BICR, was 7.4 months with the gedatolisib doublet versus 2.0 months with fulvestrant,
an incremental improvement of 5.4 months.
●
The
hazard ratios for the gedatolisib triplet and doublet are more favorable than have ever been reported by any Phase 3 trial for patients
with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer.
●
The
7.3- and 5.4-months incremental improvements in median PFS for the gedatolisib triplet and gedatolisib doublet over fulvestrant,
respectively, are higher than have ever been reported by any Phase 3 trial for patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer receiving
at least their second line of therapy.
●
Gedatolisib
is the first inhibitor targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway to demonstrate positive Phase 3 results in patients with HR+/HER2-/ PIK3CA
wild-type advanced breast cancer whose disease progressed on or after treatment with a CDK 4/6 inhibitor.
21
●
Both
gedatolisib regimens showed lower rates of hyperglycemia and stomatitis and the rate of discontinuation
of all treatment due to a treatment-related adverse event (“AE”), was lower than
was reported in a Phase 1b study in this patient population.
Full
data from the PIK3CA wild-type cohort of the VIKTORIA-1 clinical trial will be presented at an upcoming medical conference later
this year.
At the same time, we announced
that we expect to submit an NDA for gedatolisib to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2 025.
Common
Stock Offering
On
July 30, 2025, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Equity Underwriting Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC, TD Securities
(USA) LLC, and Leerink Partners LLC as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters named therein
(collectively, the “Underwriters”) agreeing, subject to customary conditions, to issue and sell in a public offering (i)
1,836,842 shares (the “Shares”) of our common stock, at a price to the public of $38.00 per Share and (b) in lieu of Shares
to certain investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 400,000 shares of common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), at
a price to the public of $37.999 per Pre-Funded Warrant, which represents the per share public offering price for the Shares less the
$0.001 per share exercise price for each such Pre-Funded Warrant (the “Equity Offering”). In addition, pursuant to the Equity
Underwriting Agreement, we granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 335,526 shares of common stock (the “Option
Shares”), less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Underwriters exercised their option to purchase the Option Shares in
full on July 30, 2025. The Equity Offering was completed on July 31, 2025.
The
net proceeds from the Equity Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, were approximately
$91.6 million, including the proceeds from the Underwriters’ exercise of their option in full to purchase the Option Shares. We
may also receive nominal proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Equity
Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures, research and development expenditures,
clinical trial expenditures, commercial launch expenditures, expansion of business development activities and other general corporate
purposes. Please see “ Liquidity and Capital Resources ” below for additional information regarding the Equity Offering.
Convertible
Notes Offering
On
July 30, 2025, we also entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Note Underwriting Agreement”) with the Underwriters,
subject to customary conditions, to issue and sell in a public offering $175,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s
2.750% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”) to the Underwriters (the “Note Offering”). In addition,
pursuant to the Note Underwriting Agreement, we granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $26,250,000 aggregate
principal amount of Notes solely to cover over-allotments. On July 30, 2025, the Underwriters exercised such option to purchase an additional
$26,250,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes. The issuance of $201,250,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes was completed on August
1, 2025. The Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of August
1, 2025, between us and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a first
supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture,
the “Indenture”), dated as of August 1, 2025, between us and the Trustee. The net proceeds from the Note Offering, after
deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, were approximately $194.9 million, including the proceeds from
the Underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Note Offering for
working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures, research and development expenditures, clinical
trial expenditures, commercial launch expenditures, expansion of business development activities and other general corporate purposes.
Please see “ Liquidity and Capital Resources ” below for additional information regarding the Note Offering.
Results
of Operations
We
have not generated any revenue from sales to date, and we continue to incur significant research and development and other expenses related
to our ongoing operations. As a result, we are not and have never been profitable and have incurred losses in each period since our inception
in 2012. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we reported a net loss of approximately $45.3 million and $23.7 million,
respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2025, we reported a net loss of approximately $82.3 million and $45.3 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $354.1 million. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $168.4 million.
Components
of Operating Results
Revenue
To
date, we have not generated any revenue. With the execution of the Pfizer license agreement in April 2021, whereby we acquired exclusive
world-wide licensing rights to develop and commercialize gedatolisib, we initiated a Phase 3 clinical trial, VIKTORIA-1, in 2022 to support
potential regulatory approval to market gedatolisib. In August 2023, we initiated a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial, CELC-G-201. In July 2025
we dosed our first patient and are currently enrolling patients in a second Phase 3 clinical trial, VIKTORIA-2. We expect to submit an
NDA to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2025 seeking approval for gedatolisib in combination with fulvestrant and with or without palbociclib
for the treatment of adults with endocrine therapy resistant HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer following progression on or after treatment
with a CDK 4/6 inhibitor in combination with endocrine therapy. If we obtain regulatory approvals to market gedatolisib, we expect to
generate revenue from sales of the drug for this and potentially additional breast cancer indications.
Research
and Development
Since
our inception, we have primarily focused on research and development of gedatolisib, a PI3K/mTOR targeted therapy, and our CELsignia
platform and corresponding tests. Research and development expenses primarily include:
●
employee-related
expenses related to our research and development activities, including salaries, benefits, recruiting, travel and stock-based compensation
expenses;
●
laboratory
supplies;
●
consulting
fees paid to third parties;
●
clinical
trial costs;
●
validation
costs for gedatolisib;
●
facilities
expenses; and
●
legal
costs associated with patent applications.
22
Internal
and external research and development costs are expensed as they are incurred. As we continue development of gedatolisib and manage studies
and clinical trials, including the VIKTORIA-1 Phase 3 clinical trial, the CELC-G-201 Phase 1b/2 clinical trial, and the VIKTORIA-2 Phase
3 clinical trial, the proportion of research and development expenses allocated to external spending will grow at a faster rate than
expenses allocated to internal expenses.
General
and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation related to our executive, finance and
support functions. Other general and administrative expenses include professional fees for auditing, tax, and legal services associated
with being a public company, director and officer insurance, investor relations and travel expenses for our general and administrative
personnel.
Sales
and Marketing
Expenses
and costs related to marketing, supply chain, distribution, market access and other commercial operations related activities are being
incurred in anticipation of the commercialization of gedatolisib. These expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, professional
and consulting fees related to these functions and operations, software costs, and the acquisition of data required to support our market
analysis for gedatolisib. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase as we get closer to a potential FDA approval date.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense to date is primarily related to the A&R Loan Agreement. Going forward, interest expense also will be related to the Notes.
Interest
Income
Interest
income consists of interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances.

Research
and Development
Our
research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were approximately $40.2 million, representing an increase
of approximately $17.7 million, or 79%, compared to the same period in 2024. Of the $17.7 million increase in research and development
expense, $6.6 million was related to increased employee and consulting expenses, $6.1 million was related to increased research and development
costs primarily attributable to activities supporting our ongoing clinical trials, and
$5.0 million is related to an anticipated development milestone payment under the license agreement with Pfizer.
Our
research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were approximately $72.4 million, representing an increase of
approximately $29.3 million, or 68%, compared to the same period in 2024. Of the $29.3 million increase in research and development expenses,
$12.5 million was related to increased employee and consulting expenses, $11.8 million was related to increased research and development
costs primarily attributable to activities supporting our ongoing clinical trials , and $5.0
million is related to an anticipated development milestone payment under the license agreement with Pfizer.
Conducting
a significant amount of research and development is central to our business model. We plan to increase our research and development expenses
for the foreseeable future as we seek to continue to develop gedatolisib, including conducting the VIKTORIA-1 Phase 3 clinical trial,
the CELC-G-201 Phase 1b/2 clinical trial and the VIKTORIA-2 Phase 3 clinical trial.
General
and Administrative
Our
general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were approximately $3.8 million, representing an increase
of approximately $2.0 million, or 112%, compared to the same period in 2024. Of the $2.0 million increase in general and administrative
expense, $1.6 million was related to increased employee and consulting expenses. The remaining $0.4 million of the $2.0 million increase
resulted from professional fees, expanding infrastructure and other administrative expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were approximately $7.7 million, representing an increase
of approximately $4.1 million, or 112%, compared to the same period in 2024. Employee related expenses accounted for $3.2 million of
the $4.1 million increase. The remaining $0.9 million of the increase resulted from professional
fees, expanding infrastructure and other administrative expenses.
We
anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods, reflecting both increased costs in connection
with the potential future commercialization of gedatolisib, an expanding infrastructure, and increased professional fees associated with
public company regulatory developments and requirements, and other compliance matters.
24
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $3.2 million and represents an increase of $0.9 million, or 42%, compared to the
same period in 2024. Interest expense is the result of the A&R Loan Agreement. The increase
is due primarily to the incremental $61.7 million funding of Term Loan C in May 2024. The $3.2 million of interest expense includes $0.8
million of non-cash interest expense.
Interest
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $6.4 million and represents an increase of $2.7 million, or 74%, compared to the same
period in 2024. Interest expense is the result of the A&R Loan Agreement. The increase is due
primarily to the incremental $61.7 million funding of Term Loan C in May 2024. The $6.4 million of interest expense includes $1.6 million
of non-cash interest expense.
Interest
Income
Interest
income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $1.9 million and represents a decrease of $0.9 million compared to the same period
in 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of lower market interest rates, as well as lower average cash, cash equivalent and investment balances in the current period.
Interest
income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $4.3 million and represents a decrease of $0.8 million compared to the same period
in 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of lower market interest rates.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Since
our inception, we have incurred losses and cumulative negative cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents
and short-term investments were approximately $46.4 million and $122.0 million, respectively, and we had an accumulated deficit of approximately
$354.1 million.
Through
the date of this Quarterly Report, we have funded our operations primarily through private placements and registered offerings of our
equity securities and unsecured convertible notes, and borrowings under loan agreements. From inception through the date of this Quarterly
Report, we raised an aggregate of approximately $478.7 million of net proceeds through sales of our equity securities,
approximately $194.9 million of net proceeds through the issuance of the Notes, and $100.0 million of borrowings under
loan agreements, not including payable-in-kind interest. The terms of our more recent financings
are described below.
July
2025 Equity Offering
On
July 30, 2025, we entered into the Equity Underwriting Agreement with the Representatives of the Underwriters agreeing, subject to customary conditions, to issue and sell in a public offering (i)
1,836,842 shares at a price to the public of $38.00 per Share and (b) in lieu of Shares
to certain investors, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 400,000 shares of common stock, at
a price to the public of $37.999 per Pre-Funded Warrant, which represents the per share public offering price for the Shares less the
$0.001 per share exercise price for each such Pre-Funded Warrant. In addition, pursuant to the Equity Underwriting
Agreement, we granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 335,526 Option Shares,
less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Underwriters exercised their option to purchase the Option Shares in full on July 30,
2025. The Equity Offering was completed on July 31, 2025.
The
net proceeds from the Equity Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, were
approximately $91.6 million, including the proceeds from the Underwriters’ exercise of their option in full to purchase the
Option Shares. We may also receive nominal proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. We intend to use the net
proceeds from the Equity Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures,
research and development expenditures, clinical trial expenditures, commercial launch expenditures, expansion of business
development activities and other general corporate purposes.
25
Each
Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, or alternatively, at the election
of each holder, shares of common stock may be issued through a cashless exercise, with the net number of shares of common stock determined
according to the formula set forth in each Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after the date of
issuance until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants
are exercised. A holder (together with its “attribution parties,” as defined in the Pre-Funded Warrant) may not exercise
any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants if immediately after exercise, the holder (together with its attribution parties), would beneficially
own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. However,
a holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99%, which increase or decrease shall not
become effective until 61 days after notice from the holder to us.
July
2025 Convertible Notes Offering
On
July 30, 2025, we also entered into the Note Underwriting Agreement with the Underwriters, subject to customary conditions, to issue
and sell in a public offering $175,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes to the Underwriters. In addition, pursuant to the
Note Underwriting Agreement, we granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $26,250,000 aggregate principal
amount of Notes solely to cover over-allotments. On July 30, 2025, the Underwriters exercised such option to purchase an additional
$26,250,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes. The issuance of $201,250,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes was completed on
August 1, 2025. The Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by the Indenture.
The net proceeds from the Note Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, were
approximately $194.9 million, including the proceeds from the Underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full. We
intend to use the net proceeds from the Note Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include capital
expenditures, research and development expenditures, clinical trial expenditures, commercial launch expenditures, expansion of
business development activities and other general corporate purposes.
The
Notes are our general, unsecured, senior obligations. The Notes will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears
on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2026, at a rate equal to 2.750% per year. In addition, special
interest will accrue on the Notes upon the occurrence of certain events relating to our failure to file certain reports with the SEC
as provided in the Indenture and as described below. The Notes also have customary provisions relating to the occurrence of
“Events of Default” (as defined in the Indenture) with certain interest penalty provisions. The Notes will mature on
August 1, 2031, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by us.
Noteholders
may convert their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding
the maturity date based on an initial conversion rate of 19.4932 shares of common stock, per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which
is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $51.30 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to customary
adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Indenture. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute
a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances,
be increased for a specified period of time.
The
Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations described below), at our option at any time, and from time
to time, on a redemption date on or after August 6, 2029 and on or before the 51st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity
date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion
price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including,
the trading day immediately before the date we send the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date
we send such notice. However, we may not redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes unless at least $50.0 million aggregate principal
amount of Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time we send the related redemption notice. In addition, calling
any Note for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate
applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.
If
a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occurs, then, subject to certain conditions and except as set forth
in the Indenture, noteholders may require us to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the
Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition
in the Indenture of a Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing
events with respect to the common stock.
26
Lastly, the
Notes contain a beneficial ownership limitation, and as a result of such limitation, noteholders do not have the right to convert all
or any portion of the Notes held by such noteholder, to the extent that immediately prior to, or immediately after giving effect to such
conversion by such noteholder, together with its affiliates and any other persons acting as a group together with such noteholder or
any of such noteholder’s affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding
immediately prior to, and immediately after giving effect to, the conversion of all or any portion of the Notes; provided, that such
4.99% beneficial ownership can be increased or decreased at the discretion of the noteholder; provided further, that such limitation
in no event can exceed 19.99%.
Private
Placement Warrants
In
March 2025, an investor exercised 695,650 warrants at an exercise price of $8.05, which generated approximately $5.6 million in cash.
The warrants were issued pursuant to a private placement that closed on December 9, 2022.
In July 2025, an
investor exercised 1,286,960 warrants at an exercise price of $8.05, which generated approximately $10.4 million in cash. The warrants
were issued pursuant to a private placement that closed on December 9, 2022.
In August 2025, investors exercised
200,000 warrants at an exercise price of $8.05, which generated approximately $1.6 million in cash. The warrants were issued pursuant
to a private placement that closed on December 9, 2022.
Open
Market Sale Agreement
On
February 4, 2022, we entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), as agent, pursuant to
which we may offer and sell, from time to time, through Jefferies, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of
up to $50.0 million, which amount was subsequently increased to $125.0 million on December 6, 2024. On July 29, 2025, prior to the
pricing of the Equity Offering and the Note Offering, the aggregate offering price was
reduced from $125.0 million to $50.0 million. On October 12, 2022, pursuant to this agreement, we sold 500,000 shares of common
stock in a single transaction at a price of $10.35 per share, generating gross proceeds of $5.2 million ($4.8 million net of
commissions and offering expenses). On December 1, 2023, pursuant to this agreement, we sold 1,034,500 shares of common stock in a
single transaction at a price of $14.50 per share, generating gross proceeds of $15.0 million ($14.4 million net of commissions and
offering expenses). In April 2024 and May 2024, pursuant to this agreement, we sold 285,714 and 149,700 shares of common stock,
respectively, at an average selling price of $17.55 per share, generating gross proceeds of $7.6 million before deducting
commissions and other offering expenses of $0.3 million. At June 30, 2025, $125.0 million of common stock remains available for sale
under the Open Market Sale Agreement with Jefferies.
May
2024 Equity Offering
On
May 30, 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Leerink Partners LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC and Stifel, Nicolaus &
Company, Incorporated as representatives of the several underwriters relating to the issuance and sale of 3,871,000 shares of common
stock, at a price to the public of $15.50, generating gross proceeds of approximately $60.0 million. The offering closed on May 31, 2024
and resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $56.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering
expenses payable by the Company.
A&R
Loan Agreement
On
May 30, 2024, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “A&R Loan Agreement”) with Innovatus
Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Innovatus”), as collateral agent, and the Lenders including
Innovatus in its capacity as a Lender and Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford”), pursuant to which Innovatus and Oxford, as Lenders,
have agreed to make certain term loans (“Term Loans”) to us in the aggregate principal amount of up to $180 million. The
A&R Loan Agreement amends and restates, in its entirety, that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated April 8, 2021, as amended,
between us and Innovatus, as collateral agent, and the Lenders named therein (the “Prior Loan Agreement”).
Funding
of the first $100 million under the A&R Loan Agreement occurred on May 30, 2024, including tranche payments of $16.8 million (the
“Term A Loan”) and $21.5 million (the “Term B Loan”) reflecting repayment of the principal amount of loans under
the Prior Loan Agreement plus accrued payment-in-kind interest, in addition to $61.7 million of new borrowings (the “Term C Loan”).
We became eligible to draw on a fourth tranche of $30 million (the “Term D Loan”) as of July 28, 2025 and will become eligible to draw on a fifth tranche of $50 million (the
“Term E Loan”), upon achievement of certain clinical trial milestones and satisfaction of certain financial
covenants. The Lenders may, in their sole discretion upon our request, make additional term
loans to us of $45 million (the “Term F Loan”). Funding of these additional tranches is also subject to other customary conditions
and limits on when we can request funding for such tranches. Costs associated with the new borrowings were approximately $2.4 million.
27
Pursuant
to the A&R Loan Agreement, we are entitled to make interest-only payments for thirty-six months, or up to forty-eight months if
certain conditions are met. The Term Loans will mature on May 1, 2029 and will bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (a) the
greater of (i) the Prime Rate (as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement) or (ii) 7.75%, plus (b) 2.85%, provided that 1.0% of such
interest will be payable in-kind by adding an amount equal to such 1.0% of the outstanding principal amount to the then outstanding
principal balance on a monthly basis through May 31, 2027. The A&R Loan Agreement is secured by all assets of the Company.
Proceeds will be used for working capital purposes and to fund our general business requirements, including the ongoing Phase 3
VIKTORIA-1 clinical trial, the Phase 1b/2 CELC-G-201 clinical trial, and the Phase 3 VIKTORIA-2 clinical trial. The A&R Loan
Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants, subject to customary carve-outs, and includes financial
covenants related to liquidity and other financial measures. Innovatus has the right, at its election and until August 9, 2025, to
convert up to 20% of the outstanding principal of the Term A Loan into shares of our common stock at a price per share of $10.00.
Innovatus will continue to have the right to exercise a previously disclosed warrant granted to it under the Prior Loan Agreement to
purchase 26,042 shares of common stock at a price per share of $14.40 through April 8, 2031.
The
A&R Loan Agreement contains a Final Fee, which is equal to 4.5% of the initial funding of the agreement and is due on the earliest
to occur of (a) the Maturity Date, (b) the acceleration of any Term Loan, and (c) the prepayment of the Term Loans. There is also a contingent
non-utilization fee for both the Term D and Term E Loans. Because we achieved the Term D Milestone on July 28, 2025, if we (i) fail to
draw the full amount of the Term D Loan during the Term D Draw Period and (ii) fail to notify Collateral Agent, at any time before the
date that is four weeks after the our achievement of the Term D Milestone, of our intent not to draw the full amount of the Term D Loan,
a non-utilization fee of $0.9 million, with respect to the Term D Loan shall become due and payable on the earliest of (i) the termination
of the Term D Draw Period, (ii) the Maturity Date, (iii) the acceleration of any Term Loan, and (iv) the prepayment in whole of the Term
Loans. If we achieve the Term E Milestone and (i) fail to draw the full amount of the Term E Loan during the Term E Draw Period and (ii)
fail to notify Collateral Agent, at any time before the date that is four weeks after our achievement of the Term E Milestone, of our
intent not to draw the full amount of the Term E Loan, a non-utilization fee of $1.5 million with respect to the Term E Loan shall become
due and payable on the earliest of (i) the termination of the Term E Draw Period, (ii) the Maturity Date, (iii) the acceleration of any
Term Loan, and (iv) the prepayment in whole of the Term Loans. After the 18-month anniversary of the Effective Date, we shall have the
option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loans advanced by the Lenders under the A&R Loan Agreement, provided we
(i) provide written notice to Collateral Agent of its election to prepay the Term Loans at least seven business days prior to such prepayment,
and (ii) pay to Lenders on the date of such prepayment, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount
equal to the sum of (A) all outstanding principal of the Term Loans plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date,
(B) the Final Fee, (C) the Prepayment Fee, plus (D) all other outstanding Obligations that are due and payable, including, without limitation,
Lenders’ Expenses and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts. At May 30, 2024, we recognized the Final
Fee of $4.5 million as additional debt principal and a corresponding debt discount to be amortized over the life of the loan.
In
connection with the funding of each of the Term C Loan, the Term D Loan, the Term E Loan and the Term F Loan, we agreed to issue to Innovatus
and Oxford warrants to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 2.5% of the principal amount of the
applicable Term Loan divided by the exercise price, which shall, with respect to the Term C Loan, be equal to the lower of (i) the volume
weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five-trading day period ending on the last trading day immediately
preceding the execution of the A&R Loan Agreement or (ii) the closing price on the last trading day immediately preceding the execution
of the A&R Loan Agreement. Accordingly, on May 30, 2024, we issued 103,876 warrants with an exercise price of $14.84 per share. The
relative fair value of the warrants was approximately $1.2 million. For the additional Term Loans, the exercise price will be based on
the lower of (i) the exercise price for the Warrants issued pursuant to the Term C Loan or (ii) the volume weighted average closing price
of the Company’s common stock for the five-trading day period ending on the last trading day immediately preceding the applicable
Term Loan funding. The Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and are exercisable through the tenth anniversary of the applicable
funding date. The number of shares of common stock for which each Warrant is exercisable and the associated exercise price are subject
to certain proportional adjustments as set forth in such Warrant.

On
May 13, 2025, we entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the A&R Loan Agreement, pursuant to which
we agreed to (i) pay Oxford an amendment fee of $40,000 on the effective date of the First Amendment, (ii) extend to March 9, 2026 the
expiration date of Innovatus’ right to convert up to 20% of the outstanding principal of the Term A Loan into shares of the Company’s
common stock at a price per share of $10.00, (iii) extend the expiration date of the Term D Draw Period to the earlier of (x) August
31, 2025 and (y) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement), (iv) update the liquidity covenant
to increase the Minimum Liquidity Percentage (as defined in the First Amendment) to 50% if we fail to achieve the Term D Milestone prior
to June 1, 2025 and to decrease the Minimum Liquidity Percentage back to 30% if we subsequently achieve the Term D Milestone prior to
the end of the Term D Draw Period, and (v) release Innovatus and the Lenders from any and all claims arising out of or related to the
A&R Loan Agreement, the First Amendment and related documentation.
On
July 28, 2025, we entered into the Second Amendment to the A&R Loan Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to (i) subject to certain
terms and conditions, permit the issuance of the Notes and certain transactions in connection therewith, including the conversion thereof
settled solely in common stock (together with cash in lieu of the issuance of any fractional share of common stock), (ii) permit the
capped call transactions in connection with the pricing of the Notes, (iii) require an amendment fee payable by us to Oxford in the amount
of $25,000, which was paid upon execution of the Second Amendment, and (iv) extend to May 9, 2026 the expiration date of Innovatus’
right to convert up to 20% of the outstanding principal of the Term A Loan into shares of our common stock at a price per share of $10.00.
In
connection with the release of the topline data from the WT cohort of the VIKTORIA-1 Phase 3 clinical trial, we achieved the Term D
Milestone (as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement) and therefore are eligible to draw down an additional $30.0 million of
indebtedness under the Term D Loan (as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement). We intend to draw down such $30.0 million in late
August 2025 prior to the expiration of the Term D Draw Period (as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement) on August 31,
2025.
We
expect that our research and development and general and administrative expenses will increase as we continue to develop gedatolisib,
conduct the VIKTORIA-1 Phase 3 clinical trial, the CELC-G-201 Phase 1b/2 trial, and the VIKTORIA-2 Phase 3 clinical trial, conduct other
studies and clinical trials, and pursue other business development activities. We would also expect to incur sales and marketing expenses
as we prepare for commercial launch and then commercialize gedatolisib. We expect to use cash on hand, together with the funds received
or to be received under the debt and equity financings described above, to fund our research and development expenses, clinical trial
costs, capital expenditures, working capital, sales and marketing expenses, and general corporate expenses.
Based
on our current business plan, we believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, including amounts received
upon the closing of the Equity Offering and Note Offering, together with available borrowings under the A&R Loan Agreement, will
provide sufficient cash to finance our operations through 2027.
Our
expectations as to how long our current capital resources will be sufficient to fund our operations are based on assumptions that may
not be accurate, and we could use our current capital resources sooner than we currently expect. In addition, we may seek to raise additional
capital to finance capital expenditures and operating expenses over the next several years as we seek to obtain approval for and launch
gedatolisib; expand our infrastructure, commercial operations and research and development activities; and to take advantage of financing
or other opportunities that we believe to be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. Additional capital may be raised
through the sale of common or preferred equity or convertible debt securities, entry into debt facilities or other third-party funding
arrangements. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders and those securities may
have rights senior to those of our common stock. Agreements entered into in connection with such capital raising activities could contain
covenants that would restrict our operations or require us to relinquish certain rights. Additional capital may not be available on reasonable
terms, or at all.

net loss of approximately $45.3 million, offset by working capital changes of $6.9 million and non-cash expense items of approximately
$3.3 million. Non-cash expense items of approximately $3.3 million primarily consisted of $2.7 million of stock-based compensation expense
and net non-cash interest of $0.5 million. The approximately $6.9 million of working capital changes was primarily due to increases in
accrued expenses, accounts payable and other current assets.
Investing
Activities
Net
cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $90.1 million and consisted primarily
of net proceeds from the maturities of short-term investments in government securities (U.S. Treasury
Bills and U.S. government agency).
Net
cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $102.5 million and consisted primarily of
net purchases of short-term investments in government securities (U.S. Treasury Bills and U.S.
government agency).

of approximately $5.6 million from the exercise of common stock warrants and $0.3 million from the exercise of exercise of employee stock
options and employee stock purchases, offset slightly by debt and equity issuance costs of $0.1 million in the aggregate.
Net
cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $137.5 million and consisted of net
proceeds of approximately $56.3 million from an equity offering, $59.2 million from incremental debt financing, and $7.3 million
from an at-the market offering. The remaining $14.7 million consisted of proceeds from the exercise of common stock warrants, the
exercise of employee stock options and employee stock purchases.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
From
time-to-time new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies and
adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed financial statements
included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective
will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
30
Critical
Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Our
management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses during the reporting periods. These items are monitored and
analyzed by us for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. We base our
estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of
which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results for the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ
materially from these estimates.
Our
significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed financial statements included in Item 1
of Part I of this Quarterly Report.
Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act
The
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking
information is included in this Quarterly Report and in other materials filed or to be filed by us with the SEC (as well as information
included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by us). Forward-looking statements include all statements
based on future expectations. This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties including,
but not limited to, (i) our clinical trial plans and the estimated timelines and costs for such trials; (ii) our plans to develop and
commercialize our products, and our expectations about the market opportunity for gedatolisib and our ability to serve that market; (iii)
our expectations with respect to our competitive advantages, including the potential efficacy of gedatolisib in various patient types
alone or in combination with other treatments, and our interpretation of the topline data from the PIK3CA WT cohort of the Phase
3 VIKTORIA-1 clinical trial; (iv) our expectations regarding the timeline of patient enrollment and results from clinical trials, including
our ongoing Phase 3 VIKTORIA-1 clinical trial, ongoing Phase 3 VIKTORIA-2 clinical trial, and ongoing Phase 1b/2 clinical trial for gedatolisib;
(v) our expectations regarding the timing of submitting an NDA for, and our ability to obtain FDA approval to commercialize, gedatolisib;
(vi) our expectations regarding governmental laws and regulations affecting our operations, including, without limitation, developments
in laws and regulations or their interpretation, including, among others, changes in tax laws and regulations internationally and in
the U.S. and laws that affect our operations and our laboratory; (vii) our expectations with respect to the development, validation,
required approvals, costs and timelines of our drug candidate gedatolisib; (viii) our beliefs related to the potential benefits resulting
from Breakthrough Therapy designation for gedatolisib; (ix) our plans with respect to research and development and related expenses for
the foreseeable future; (x) our beliefs about our ability to capitalize on the exclusive global development and commercialization rights
obtained from our license agreement with Pfizer with respect to gedatolisib; (xi) our expectations regarding the future payments that
may be owed to Pfizer under the license agreement with them; (xii) our beliefs with respect to the potential rate and degree of market
acceptance, both in the United States and internationally, and clinical utility of gedatolisib; (xiii) our revenue expectations; (xiv)
our expectations regarding business development activities, including collaborations with pharmaceutical companies; (xv) our plans with
respect to pricing in the United States and internationally, and our ability to obtain reimbursement for our drug candidate, gedatolisib,
including expectations as to our ability or the amount of time it will take to achieve successful reimbursement from third-party payors,
such as commercial insurance companies and health maintenance organizations, and from government insurance programs, such as Medicare
and Medicaid; (xvi) our expectations as to the use of proceeds from our financing activities; (xvii) our expectations with respect to
availability of capital, including accessing our current debt facility or any other debt facility or other capital sources in the future,
and our assumption that we will have adequate authorized shares for future equity issuances; (xviii) our beliefs regarding the adequacy
of our cash on hand to fund our clinical trials, capital expenditures, working capital, and other general corporate expenses, as well
as the increased costs associated with being a public company; (xix) our plans with respect to potentially raising capital; and (xx)
our expectations regarding our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our product candidates, including
our gedatolisib drug candidate and our CELsignia platform and tests.
In
some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,”
“could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “ongoing,” “plan,”
“potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,”
or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking
statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of performance. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and
assumptions, which in turn are based on their interpretation of currently available information.
31
These
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our results or our industry’s actual
results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements. Certain risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, our limited operating history;
our potential inability to develop, validate, obtain regulatory approval for and commercialize gedatolisib on a timely basis or at all; the uncertainties and costs associated
with clinical studies and with developing and commercializing biopharmaceuticals; the complexity and difficulty of demonstrating the
safety and sufficient magnitude of benefit to support regulatory approval of gedatolisib and other products we may develop; challenges
we may face in developing and maintaining relationships with pharmaceutical company partners; the uncertainty and costs associated with
clinical trials; the uncertainty regarding market acceptance by physicians, patients, third-party payors and others in the medical community,
and with the size of market opportunities available to us; difficulties we may face in managing
growth, such as hiring and retaining a qualified sales force and attracting and retaining key personnel; changes in government regulations;
tightening credit markets and limitations on access to capital; stock market volatility or other factors that may affect our ability
to access capital on favorable terms or at all; and obtaining and maintaining intellectual property protection for our technology and
time and expense associated with defending third-party claims of intellectual property infringement, investigations or litigation threatened
or initiated against us. These and additional risks, uncertainties and other factors are described more fully in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Copies of filings made with the SEC are available
through the SEC’s electronic data gathering, analysis, and retrieval system (EDGAR) at www.sec.gov.
You
should read the cautionary statements made in this Quarterly Report as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever
they appear in this Quarterly Report. We cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report will prove to
be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. You should read this
Quarterly Report completely. Other than as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even
though our situation may change in the future.

3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As
a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide disclosure pursuant to this item.
ITEM
4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, referred to collectively herein as the Certifying Officers, are responsible for
establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. The Certifying Officers have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2025. Based on that review and evaluation, the Certifying Officers
have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures, as designed
and implemented, are effective and provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the periodic and current
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified by
the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting .
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
during the three months ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
32
PART
II. — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. Legal Proceedings
From
time to time we may be involved in disputes or litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations. We are not currently a party
to any legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
ITEM
1A. Risk Factors
In
addition to other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, including the important information in the section entitled “Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act,” you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. Except as set forth below,
there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in such Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional risks and
uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial might materially adversely affect our actual business,
financial condition and/or operating results.
Changes
to trade policy, including new or increased tariffs and changing import and export regulations, could have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our
business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected by uncertainty and changes in U.S. or international
trade policies, including tariffs, quotas, trade agreements, or other trade restrictions imposed by the U.S. or other governments. For
example, the U.S. has instituted certain changes, and has proposed additional changes, in trade policies that include the negotiation
or termination of trade agreements, the imposition of higher tariffs on imports into the U.S., and other government regulations affecting
trade between the U.S. and other countries. The new tariffs and other changes in U.S. trade policy have triggered retaliatory actions
by affected countries, and foreign governments have instituted or are considering imposing trade sanctions on U.S. goods. Several tariff
announcements have been followed by announcements of limited exemptions, revisions, and temporary pauses, resulting in significant uncertainty.
The
imposition of tariffs and other trade restrictions, as well as the escalation of trade disputes and any downturns in the global economy
resulting therefrom, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The extent and
duration of the tariffs and other trade restrictions and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business are
uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries
or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, and availability and cost of alternative sources of supply.
While
we plan to maintain adequate inventory of the gedatolisib active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) and to qualify a second
source of gedatolisib API, any imposition of, or increase in, tariffs or other restrictions on imports of equipment or other materials
(or the components of these materials) could increase the cost for such materials and also increase the prices for such materials available
domestically or locally, if any, which in turn could increase our costs. Such cost increases could materially and adversely affect our
results of operations and financial condition. Tariffs or other trade restrictions may lead to continuing uncertainty and volatility
in U.S. and global financial and economic conditions and commodity markets, declining consumer confidence, significant inflation, and
diminished expectations for the economy. Such conditions could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations
and financial position.
Disruptions
at the FDA, and other government agencies from funding cuts, personnel losses, leadership changes, regulatory reform, government shutdowns
and other developments could hinder our ability to obtain guidance from the FDA regarding our clinical development programs and develop
and secure approval of our product candidates in a timely manner, which would negatively impact our business.
The
FDA and comparable regulatory agencies in foreign jurisdictions, such as the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), play an important
role in the development of our product candidates by providing guidance on our clinical development programs and reviewing our regulatory
submissions, including investigational new drug applications (“INDs”), requests for special designations and marketing applications.
If these oversight and review activities are disrupted, then correspondingly our ability to develop and secure timely approval of our
product candidates could be impacted in a negative manner.
33
For
example, the recent loss of FDA leadership and personnel, and new leadership at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, FDA
and the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research could lead to disruptions and delays in FDA guidance and review and approval of our product
candidate. Further, while the FDA’s review of marketing applications and other activities for new drugs is largely funded through
the user fee program established under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, it remains unclear how the administration’s recent reduction
in force and budget cuts will impact this program and the ability of the FDA to provide guidance and review our product candidate in
a timely manner.
There
is also substantial uncertainty as to how regulatory reform measures being implemented by the Trump Administration across the government
will impact the FDA and other federal agencies with jurisdiction over our activities. For example, since taking office, the President
has issued a number of executive orders that could have a significant impact on the manner in which the FDA conducts its operations and
engages in regulatory and oversight activities.
Accordingly,
if any of the foregoing developments and others impact the ability of the FDA to provide us with guidance regarding our clinical development
programs or delay the agency’s review and processing of our regulatory submissions, including INDs and new drug applications, our
business would be negatively impacted.
Our
indebtedness and liabilities could limit the cash flow available for our operations, expose us to risks that could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations and impair our ability to satisfy our debt obligations.
As
of June 30, 2025, we had $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness for borrowed money, all of which was secured indebtedness
consisting of the Term Loans. We incurred $201.25 million principal amount of additional indebtedness as a result of the offering of
the Notes. We may incur additional indebtedness to meet future financing needs. For example, we intend to draw down our $30.0 million
Term D Loan in late August 2025 prior to the expiration of the Term D Draw Period on August 31, 2025, and have an additional $50.0 million
in incremental Term Loans that can be drawn under the A&R Loan Agreement upon the achievement of certain clinical milestones. Our
indebtedness could have significant negative consequences for our security holders and our business, results of operations and financial
condition by, among other things:
●
increasing
our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions;
●
limiting
our ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms or at all;
●
requiring
the dedication of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, which will reduce the amount
of cash available for other purposes;
●
limiting
our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business;
●
diluting
the interests of our existing stockholders as a result of issuing shares of our common stock upon conversion of the Notes; and
●
placing
us at a possible competitive disadvantage with competitors that are less leveraged than us or have better access to capital.
Our
business may not generate sufficient funds, and we may otherwise be unable to maintain sufficient cash reserves, to pay amounts due under
our indebtedness, and our cash needs may increase in the future. In addition, the A&R Loan Agreement contains, and any future indebtedness
that we may incur in the future may contain, financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to operate our business,
raise capital or make payments under our other indebtedness. If we fail to comply with these covenants or to make payments under our
indebtedness when due, then we would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in that and our other indebtedness
becoming immediately due and payable in full.
34
We
may be unable to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the Notes for cash following a fundamental change or to pay any cash amounts
due upon maturity and our other indebtedness may limit our ability to repurchase the Notes or to pay any cash amounts due upon their
maturity.
Noteholders
may, subject to a limited exception, require us to repurchase their Notes following a fundamental change at a cash repurchase price generally
equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental
change repurchase date. Upon maturity of the Notes, we must pay their principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest in cash, unless
they have been previously converted, redeemed or repurchased. We may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at
the time we are required to repurchase the Notes or pay any cash amounts due upon their maturity. In addition, applicable law, regulatory
authorities and the agreements governing our other indebtedness may restrict our ability to repurchase the Notes or to pay any cash amounts
due upon their maturity. Our failure to repurchase Notes or to pay any cash amounts due upon their maturity when required will constitute
a default under the Indenture. A default under the Indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements
governing our other indebtedness, which may result in that other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full after any applicable
notice or grace periods. We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy all amounts due under our indebtedness.
Provisions
in the Indenture could delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover of us.
Certain
provisions in the Notes and the Indenture could make a third-party attempt to acquire us more difficult or expensive. For example, if
a takeover constitutes a fundamental change, then, subject to limited exceptions, Noteholders will have the right to require us to repurchase
their Notes for cash. In addition, if a takeover constitutes a make-whole fundamental change, then we may be required to temporarily
increase the conversion rate of the Notes. In either case, and in other cases, our obligations under the Notes and the Indenture could
increase the cost of acquiring us or otherwise discourage a third party from acquiring us or removing incumbent management, including
in a transaction that holders of our common stock may view as favorable.
