Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
Senti Biosciences Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Senti”), is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing next-generation cell and gene therapies engineered with its gene circuit platform technologies for patients living with incurable diseases. Senti’s mission is to create a new generation of smarter therapies that can outsmart complex diseases using novel and unprecedented approaches. Senti has built a synthetic biology platform that enables it to program next-generation cell and gene therapies with gene circuits. These gene circuits, which are created from novel and proprietary combinations of DNA sequences, reprogram cells with biological logic to sense inputs, compute decisions and respond to their cellular environments. The Company is headquartered in South San Francisco, California.
As discussed in Note 15 , Subsequent Events under the header “Holding Company Reorganization”, on April 24, 2026, Senti Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Former Senti”), implemented a holding company reorganization (the “Reorganization”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of April 24, 2026, among Former Senti, the Company and Senti Biosciences Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Senti Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Senti Holdings”) and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Former Senti, with Former Senti continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Senti Holdings, which is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, the Company became the successor issuer to Former Senti.
Liquidity and Going Concern
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to organizing and staffing, business planning, raising capital, and conducting preclinical and clinical studies and has not realized substantial revenues from its planned principal operations. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has raised aggregate gross proceeds of $ 368.6 million from the merger in 2022, the issuance of shares of common stock, the issuance of shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock, the issuance of convertible notes, and, to a lesser extent, through collaboration agreements and governmental grants and loans.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 362.8 million and $ 358.6 million , respectively. The Company’s net losses were $ 4.2 million and $ 14.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Substantially all of the Company’s net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with the Company’s research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with the Company’s operations. The Company expects to incur substantial operating losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future as the Company advances its preclinical activities and clinical trials for its product candidates in development.
The Company concluded that substantial doubt continued to exist and that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents of $ 8.9 million as of March 31, 2026, were not sufficient for the Company to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statemen ts. Based on the Company’s current operating plan and existing unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, the Company has determined that it may not be able to maintain current operations starting as early as the second quarter of 2026. As discussed in Note 15 , Subsequent Events , the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement in April 2026 pursuant to which the Company expects to receive gross proceeds of $ 10.0 million in May 2026 upon the closing of the initial tranche of senior secured convertible notes, subject to the satisfaction of specified closing conditions.

Assuming receipt of such funding, the Company currently expects to be able to maintain operations into the third quarter of 2026. Additional funds will be necessary to maintain current operations and to continue research and development activities. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to raise capital and ultimately develop profitable operations. While management is devoting substantially all of its efforts to developing the Company’s business and raising capital, there can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will be successful. Moreover, no assurance can be given that management’s actions will result in raising additional financing or profitable operations.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments that the management of the Company believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent interim period. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and as amended by Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Senti Biosciences Holdings, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has one business activity and operates in one reportable segment within continuing operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the valuation of stock-based awards, the accrual for research and development expenses, the valuation of GeneFab Option, the valuation of GeneFab Economic Share, and the determination of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents that are maintained in checking and money market accounts at one financial institution, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company has not experienced any credit losses in such accounts or investments.
Concentration of Business Risk
The Company is subject to concentrations of business risk arising from its reliance on a limited number of counterparties and arrangements that are critical to its operations. The Company currently depends on GeneFab LLC (“GeneFab”) as its sole contract manufacturer for the clinical-scale production of its product candidates. As a result, the Company’s development activities and timelines are dependent on GeneFab’s continued ability to perform manufacturing services in accordance with contractual requirements. Any disruption in GeneFab’s operations, financial condition, or ability to perform could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s research and development activities and may require the Company to identify and qualify alternative manufacturing vendors, which could result in increased costs and delays in the Company’s clinical trial timelines.
In addition, the Company has business risk concentrated in its real estate lease arrangements. The Company has operating lease obligations under the Alameda Lease (as defined in Note 3 ), which represents the Company’s most

(Unaudited)
significant lease liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026. The Company has subleased the Alameda Lease to GeneFab. Accordingly, the Company’s ability to mitigate the cash outflows associated with these lease obligations is dependent on GeneFab’s performance under the sublease arrangements. The Company remains obligated to satisfy its lease commitments to the landlord regardless of the performance of its subtenant.
Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related footnotes are unaudited. These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements, and in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2026 and its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or any other period. The December 31, 2025 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not include all disclosures from the annual consolidated financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 27, 2026, which provides a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosures about significant expense categories, including but not limited to, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and selling expenses, along with qualitative descriptions of certain other types of expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosure, but does not expect this update to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements other than additional information that will be provided in the footnote disclosure.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities , which establishes authoritative guidance in U.S. GAAP about accounting for government grants received by business entities and clarifies the appropriate accounting in an effort to reduce diversity in practice, and increase consistency of application across business entities. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Adoption of this ASU can be applied using a modified prospective approach, a modified retrospective approach, or a retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-10 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements , which clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of this ASU can be applied either a prospective or a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The

Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-11 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, Codification Improvements , which addresses thirty-three items, representing the changes to the Codification that (1) clarify, (2) correct errors, or (3) make minor improvements. Generally, the amendments in this ASU are not intended to result in significant changes for most entities. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The adoption method of this ASU may vary on an issue-by-issue basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-12 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. GeneFab Transaction
On August 7, 2023, the Company entered into a framework agreement (the “GeneFab Framework Agreement”) with GeneFab and Valere Bio, Inc. (“Valere”), a Delaware corporation and the parent company of GeneFab, which is wholly owned by Celadon Partners, LLC (“Celadon Partners”), pursuant to which the Company, subject to the terms and conditions therein, sold, assigned and transferred its rights, title and interest in certain of the assets and contractual rights, including all of the Company’s equipment at the Company’s Alameda facility and certain of the Company’s non-oncology license rights, intellectual property related to the schematics for and design of the Alameda facility.
The original lease for the Alameda facility was entered into between the Company and 1430 South Loop Owner, LLC (the “Landlord”) in 2021 (the “Alameda Lease”). On August 7, 2023, the Company subleased the Alameda facility to GeneFab in connection with the GeneFab Framework Agreement described above (the “GeneFab Alameda Sublease”). On March 17, 2026, both of the Alameda Lease and GeneFab Alameda Sublease were amended as described in Note 5 . Operating Leases .
On August 7, 2023, the Company and GeneFab also entered into a development and manufacturing services agreement (the “DMSA”), pursuant to which GeneFab will provide certain services to the Company using the subleased Alameda facility and acquired equipment. The Company also entered into a transition services agreement with GeneFab whereby certain services are to be provided by each party to the other party during a transition period beginning on August 7, 2023 (the “Transition Services Agreement”). On December 10, 2024, in connection with the private placement described in further detail in Note 6 . Stockholders’ Equity , the Company and GeneFab entered into an amended and restated DMSA (the “2024 Amended and Restated DMSA”).
On June 12, 2024, the Company subleased to GeneFab a portion of the Company’s HQ Lease as defined in Note 5 . Operating Leases , and this sublease is referred to as the “GeneFab HQ Sublease”. On March 9, 2026, the Company signed an agreement to accelerate the end of the GeneFab HQ Sublease (“GeneFab HQ Sublease Amendment”), effective March 31, 2026. Refer to Note 5 . Operating Leases for details of the GeneFab HQ Sublease Amendment.
On March 17, 2026, the Company entered into a letter agreement with GeneFab (the “GeneFab Letter Agreement”) in connection with the lease and sublease amendments described in Note 5 . Operating Leases . The GeneFab Letter Agreement provides for a $ 1.4 million back rent payment from GeneFab that may be satisfied, in whole or in part, through a cash prepayment credit to be applied toward work or services to be performed by GeneFab for the Company under the 2024 Amended and Restated DMSA, that the Company may access such prepayment credit immediately and that any unpaid portion must be paid in immediately available funds by September 1, 2026. The GeneFab Letter Agreement further provides that the Company may access $ 2.0 million as a prepayment credit to be applied toward work or services to be performed by GeneFab for the Company under the 2024 Amended and Restated DMSA beginning September 1, 2026. This prepayment credit represents a portion of the agreed-upon settlement of past-due sublease rent. GeneFab’s failure to perform its obligations with respect to the outstanding rent or the $ 2.0 million prepayment credit constitutes an immediate event of default under the GeneFab Alameda Sublease Amendment (defined in Note 5 ). The GeneFab Letter Agreement terminates automatically once the applicable prepayment credits have been fully applied.

GeneFab prepaid expenses - related party
Under the GeneFab Framework Agreement entered into on August 7, 2023, the total consideration in connection with the transaction was $ 37.8 million, of which $ 18.9 million was received by the Company on August 7, 2023 and such payment was netted against prepayment due to GeneFab for future manufacturing and research activities under the DMSA. The $ 18.9 million was initially recorded in GeneFab prepaid expenses - related party on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in 2023.
On December 10, 2024, the Company agreed to make an additional advance payment of $ 10.0 million to GeneFab under the 2024 Amended and Restated DMSA, of which $ 6.0 million and $ 4.0 million was paid in December 2024 and January 2025, respectively.
In June 2025, the Company made an additional advance payment of $ 2.5 million to GeneFab for additional work as part of the 2024 Amended and Restated DMSA.
In March 2026, based on the GeneFab Letter Agreement, past-due rent of $ 3.4 million related to the GeneFab Alameda Sublease was converted into an additional prepaid expense for additional work under the 2024 Amended and Restated DMSA.
As of March 31, 2026, $ 3.3 million of these prepayments were remaining to be amortized against future manufacturing and research activities, which was recorded in GeneFab prepaid expenses - related party on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
GeneFab Economic Share
On August 7, 2023, the Company and GeneFab entered into a seller economic share agreement (the “GeneFab Economic Share”), pursuant to which the Company will be entitled to receive 10 % of the realized gains of GeneFab’s parent company arising and resulting from any cash or in-kind distributions from GeneFab in connection with a dividend or sale event, subject to the terms and conditions of the GeneFab Economic Share. The Company elected to account for the GeneFab Economic Share under the fair value option in ASC 825, Financial Instruments , and the GeneFab Economic Share was recorded as an asset in GeneFab Economic Share - related party on consolidated balance sheet at its fair value of $ 1.8 million on August 7, 2023. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company determined that the fair value of the GeneFab Economic Share was zero . Changes in fair value of the GeneFab Economic Share are reported as a component of other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Refer to Note 10 . Fair Value Measurements .
In April 2026, in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement described in to Note 15 , Subsequent Events , the Company and Celadon entered into a Termination and Release Agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, the GeneFab Economic Share has been terminated as of April 2026.
GeneFab Option
GeneFab was granted an option to purchase up to 1,963,344 shares (i.e. up to $ 20.0 million worth) of the Company’s common stock at a per share purchase price of $ 10.18670 (the “GeneFab Option”). The GeneFab Option becomes exercisable upon the execution of the license agreement, no later than August 7, 2026. The GeneFab Option may be exercised in installments of common stock equal to no more than 19.9 % of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock as of August 7, 2023. The purchase of the remaining shares under the GeneFab Option requires approval by the Company’s stockholders. The Company determined that the GeneFab Option was a derivative as the terms of the instrument contain certain provisions that preclude equity classification in accordance with ASC 815. As such, the GeneFab Option was recorded as a liability in GeneFab Option - related party on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at its fair value of $ 9.6 million on August 7, 2023. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company determined that the fair value of the GeneFab Option was zero . The GeneFab Option was remeasured each reporting period with changes from remeasurement included in other income (expense)

in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Refer to Note 10 . Fair Value Measurements .
In April 2026, in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement described in to Note 15 , Subsequent Events , the Company and Celadon entered into a Termination and Release Agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, the GeneFab Option has been terminated as of April 2026.
Consolidation and Related Party
The Company determined that GeneFab is a variable interest entity since its total equity at risk is not sufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company performs a qualitative analysis at each reporting date to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of GeneFab. Based on this assessment, the Company has determined that it does not have the power to direct the activities of GeneFab that most significantly impact GeneFab’s economic performance. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary and therefore does not consolidate GeneFab. There were no material changes to the Company’s involvement with GeneFab during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that would have resulted in a change to this conclusion.
GeneFab is a related party and the Company reports transactions with GeneFab under ASC 850. Refer to Note 12 . Related Parties for GeneFab related party considerations.

On August 3, 2024, the Company executed an agreement with California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (“CIRM”) for a total grant award of $ 8.0 million (“CIRM Grant”) in support of the research project related to the ongoing clinical development of SENTI-202. The award is payable to the Company upon achievement of milestones that are primarily based on patient enrollment in the Company’s SENTI-202 clinical trial. Under the terms of the CIRM Grant, the Company is obligated to co-fund up to $ 4.8 million and is required to provide CIRM timely progress and financial update reports.
Under the terms of the CIRM Grant, the Company is obligated to pay royalties and licensing fees based on 0.1 % of net commercial revenue of CIRM-funded product candidates or CIRM-funded technology for every $ 1.0 million of CIRM funding received. These payments would commence upon the first commercial sale of an applicable product and continue for either 10 years from such first commercial sale or until the total royalties paid equal nine times the original CIRM Grant, whichever occurs first. If no CIRM-funded products are commercialized, no royalty or licensing fee payments would be due. As an alternative to revenue sharing, the Company has the option to convert the CIRM Grant to a loan. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has not elected to convert the CIRM Grant to a loan. In the event the Company exercises its right to convert the CIRM Grant to a loan, the Company would be obligated to repay the loan within 10 business days of making such election. Repayment amounts vary dependent upon the phase of clinical development of SENTI-202 at the time of the Company’s election, ranging from 80 % to 100 % plus interest at 10 % plus the 90-day Secured Overnight Financing Rate.
As presented in the table above, the Company received an aggregate of $ 8.0 million from the CIRM Grant as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Note 5. Operating Leases

Operating Lease - HQ Lease

SENTI BIOSCIENCES, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements— (Continued)
(Unaudited)
For the Company’s corporate headquarters located in South San Francisco, California, the original lease was entered into between the Company and Britannia Biotech Gateway Limited Partnership (the “HQ Landlord”) in 2021, and amended in May 2019 and June 2020 (the “HQ Lease”). The HQ Lease has an initial term of eight years expiring in 2027, with an option to renew for an additional eight years unless canceled by either party thereafter.
Operating Lease - Alameda Lease
For the Alameda facility, the original lease was entered into between the Company and 1430 South Loop Owner, LLC (the “Alameda Landlord”) in 2021 and amended in March 2026 as described below (the “Alameda Lease”). The Alameda Lease has an initial term of eleven years expiring in 2032, with an option to renew the lease for up to two additional terms of five years .
On March 17, 2026, the Company and the Alameda Landlord entered into the first amendment to the Alameda Lease (the “Alameda Lease Amendment”). Pursuant to the Alameda Lease Amendment, the Company reduced the leased premises from approximately 92,000 rentable square feet to approximately 46,000 rentable square feet. The Alameda Lease Amendment also reduced the Company’s future base rent obligations for the remaining term of the lease and modified certain cost-sharing arrangements with respect to operating expenses, taxes, and utilities. In connection with the Alameda Lease Amendment, the Alameda Landlord is entitled to draw $ 2.0 million under the Company’s existing letter of credit, and the required letter of credit for the remainder of the lease term was reduced to approximately $ 0.8 million. In May 2026, the Alameda Landlord drew the $ 2.0 million under the Company’s letter of credit.
As of the modification date on March 17, 2026, the Company accounted for the Alameda Lease Amendment as a lease modification under ASC 842. The revised lease payments were discounted using an incremental borrowing rate determined as of the modification date, which reflected the Company’s estimated collateralized borrowing rate over a term consistent with the remaining lease term and incorporated updated market inputs, including treasury rates. The resulting rate was substantially consistent with the rate used for the original Alameda Lease. As a result of the remeasurement, the lease liability decreased by $ 9.9 million. The decrease in the lease liability resulted in a corresponding $ 3.1 million reduction to the right-of-use asset, representing the carrying value of the asset immediately prior to the modification. The remaining amount of $ 6.8 million, together with a $ 0.1 million reduction of certain operating expenses associated with the Alameda Lease Amendment, was recognized as a $ 6.9 million gain in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The exercise of the renewal options for both of the HQ Lease and Alameda Lease is not recognized as part of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, as the Company did not conclude, at the commencement date of the leases, that the exercise of renewal options or termination options was reasonably certain.
Operating lease costs are summarized as follows:

Assets Classified as Level 3
GeneFab Economic Share
The fair value of the GeneFab Economic Share is based on significant unobservable inputs. In determining the fair value of the GeneFab Economic Share, the Company used the option pricing method, which allocates total estimated enterprise value to various classes of equity using the Backsolve method. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company determined that the fair value of the GeneFab Economic Share was zero due to the low probability of the events triggering the payment underlying the GeneFab Economic Share. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, there was no change in fair value for the GeneFab Economic Share.
In April 2026, in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement described in to Note 15 , Subsequent Events , the Company and Celadon entered into a Termination and Release Agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, the GeneFab Economic Share has been terminated as of April 2026.
Liabilities Classified as Level 3
GeneFab Option
The fair value of the GeneFab Option is based on significant unobservable inputs. In determining the fair value of the GeneFab Option, the Company used a Black-Scholes option pricing model. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company determined that the fair value of the GeneFab Option was zero due to the probability that a suitable license agreement, which is a condition of GeneFab obtaining the Option, would not be signed. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, there was no change in fair value for the GeneFab Option.
In April 2026, in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement described in to Note 15 , Subsequent Events , the Company and Celadon entered into a Termination and Release Agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, the GeneFab Option has been terminated as of April 2026.
Note 11. Income Tax
The Company’s income tax provision was zero for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. While the Company is subject to federal and state income taxes in various jurisdictions, due to cumulative losses their current income tax liability is zero and deferred tax assets generated from the Company’s net operating losses have been subject to a full valuation allowance, as the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the benefit will be realized due to the Company’s losses generated to date.

On April 1, 2026, Former Senti announced plans to implement the Reorganization. On April 24, 2026, Former Senti completed the Reorganization pursuant the Merger Agreement.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Former Senti, with Former Senti continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Senti Holdings, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Following the Merger, the Company became the successor issuer to Former Senti pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
At the effective time of the Reorganization, each issued and outstanding share of Former Senti’s common stock was automatically converted into an equivalent corresponding share of the Company’s common stock, having the same designations, rights, powers and preferences and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the corresponding shares of Former Senti’s common stock.
Immediately following the Reorganization, the Company had, on a consolidated basis, the same assets, businesses and operations as Former Senti had immediately prior to the Reorganization, and the directors and executive officers of the Company were the same as those of Former Senti immediately prior to the Reorganization. Shares of the Company’s common stock continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SNTI.”
The Company evaluated the Reorganization in accordance with ASC 855, Subsequent Events , and concluded that it represents a non-recognized subsequent event. Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes
Securities Purchase Agreement
On April 27, 2026, the Company, Senti Holdings, and Former Senti, entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with one accredited investor (the “Investor”). The Investor is an entity affiliated with Celadon Partners SPV 24 (“Celadon”) and Celadon Partners, which is one of the Company’s related parties and largest stockholder as discussed in Note 12 . Related Parties .
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, Senti Holdings agreed to issue and sell, and Celadon agree to purchase, in a private placement up to $ 40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) in up to two tranches, subject to the satisfaction of certain specified closing conditions. The terms of the Notes are described below in the section titled “The Notes” .
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the first tranche consists of $ 10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes that are to be issued (the “Initial Notes”), subject to the satisfaction of certain specified closing conditions, which include, but are not limited to, that Former Senti shall have consummated its holding company reorganization as described above in the section titled “Holding Company Reorganization” , which was consummated on April 24, 2026.
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the second tranche may consist of up to $ 30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes that are to be issued after the first tranche (the “Additional Notes”), subject to (1) Celadon’s discretionary election and (2) the satisfaction of certain specified closing conditions. The Company will not be obligated to issue any Additional Notes unless the parties shall have executed, within thirty days of the closing of the Initial Notes, definitive documents for a potential transaction (the “CVR Transaction”) pursuant to which, if consummated, an entity affiliated with Celadon would merge with and into Senti Holdings and Senti Holdings would issue a contingent value right (a “CVR”) to the Company’s stockholders, which may pay out up to an aggregate of $ 60.0 million in cash subject to the achievement of certain regulatory and sales milestones with respect to the Company’s product candidate, SENTI-202.
Senti Holdings agreed to several covenants in the Securities Purchase Agreement, including, but not limited to:
22

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements— (Continued)
(Unaudited)
• The Company agreed to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes for general corporate purposes and to advance CMC and clinical trials for their product candidate, SENTI-202;
• Senti Holdings agreed to pay Celadon 3.0 % of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes purchased at a closing by Celadon and any purchaser of Notes brought in by Celadon;
• Senti Holdings and the Company each agreed to certain limitations on their ability to issue securities; and
• As promptly as practicable, the Company agreed to solicit the approval of its stockholders at a meeting to be held not later than August 31, 2026 to approve the Company’s issuance of shares of its common stock underlying the Notes without giving effect to the Exchange Cap (as defined below) (the “Issuance Approval”), and Celadon agreed to vote in support of such proposal.
The Securities Purchase Agreement also included certain customary representations and warranties with respect to the Company, Senti Holdings and the Investor. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties therein, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, the Securities Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference only to provide investors with information regarding its terms, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company, Senti Holdings or their business, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in the Company’s periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.
If the closing of the Initial Notes does not occur with respect to an Investor on or before fifteen business days from the date of entry into the Securities Purchase Agreement due to a failure to satisfy the closing conditions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the non-breaching party has the option to terminate the Securities Purchase Agreement with respect to such breaching party by delivering a written notice to that effect. In the case of such termination, Senti Holdings would remain obligated to reimburse Celadon or its designee for certain expenses.
The Notes
The Notes are to be issued directly to their holders (the “Holders”) and are Senti Holding’s senior, secured indebtedness and are to be guaranteed by the Company and all its direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than Senti Holdings) pursuant to a Guarantee (the “Guarantee”) in favor of the Investor. The Notes will be secured by a first priority lien, subject to certain permitted liens, in all of the current and future assets of Senti Holdings, the Company and all direct and indirect subsidiaries of Senti Holdings, subject to certain customary exclusions.
The Notes will not bear any interest unless an event of default has occurred. If issued, the Notes will have a maturity date (the “Maturity Date”) on the date that is the first business day immediately following the date that is six months after the closing date of the Initial Notes. The Maturity Date may be extended at the option of a Holder (i) if there is an event of default occurring on the Maturity Date or any event that, with the passage of time and the failure to cure would result in an event of default and (ii) through the date that is ten business day after the consummation of a change of control that is publicly announced or of which the Holder received notice pursuant to the Notes. On the Maturity Date, if the Notes have not previously been converted or exchanged, Senti Holdings is required to pay the Holder an amount in cash equal to 200 % of all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest.
After issuance, a Holder may convert its Note for shares of Senti Holdings common stock at an initial conversion price of $ 0.6261 per share (the “Conversion Price”), which is subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of events specified in the Notes. If Celadon (assuming it still holds the Notes) and the holders of the Notes representing at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (the “Required Holders”) deliver a notice to convert at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding or the Company consummates the potential CVR Transaction, then the Company shall have the right to convert the remaining outstanding Notes.

After issuance, the Notes may also be exchanged for shares of Company common stock at an initial exchange price of $ 0.6261 per share ( the “Exchange Price”), subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of events specified in the Notes. If, after the Issuance Approval, the Required Holders exchange a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding or the Company consummates the potential CVR Transaction, then the Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to require all remaining outstanding Notes to be exchanged. At the election of a Holder, its Note may be subject to a beneficial ownership limitation. In the case of such an election, the Holder shall choose a maximum percentage (up to 19.99 %), and it will not have the right to receive any shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms of the Note upon exchange that would exceed such maximum percentage. The selected maximum percentage may be increased or decreased upon sixty-one days of notice. In addition, in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company is not obligated to issue any shares of its common stock upon exchange beyond 19.99 % of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Exchange Cap”) prior to the Issuance Approval. If the Company fails to timely deliver shares of its common stock upon exchange, the Holder will have buy-in rights requiring the Issuer to pay cash equal to the Holder’s total purchase price for shares purchased in the market to cover such failure.
The Conversion Price and Exchange Price are each subject to full-ratchet anti-dilution adjustment upon certain issuances of common stock at a price below the then-effective Conversion Price or Exchange Price (a “Dilutive Issuance”), in which case the applicable Conversion Price or Exchange Price will be reduced to the price per share of such Dilutive Issuance.
The Notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including certain limitations on debt, liens, restricted payments, asset transfers, and changes in the business.
The Notes contain several customary events of default. In the case of events of default that relate to bankruptcy, the Company is required to redeem the Notes in cash, and in the case of other events of default, the Holders may require the Company to redeem their Notes in cash. The redemption price is the greater of (i) 200 % of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and (ii) the product of (x) the principal amount being redeemed and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing the greatest closing sale price of the Issuer common stock during the event of default by the lowest exchange price during such period. While any event of default is occurring, interest will accrue at an annual rate of 12.0 %.
Registration Rights Agreement
As a closing condition to issuances of Notes under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and Former Senti expect to enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Investor. Upon entry into the Registration Rights Agreement, as reasonably practicable following any issuance of the Notes, but, in any event, not later than thirty days thereafter (the “Filing Date”) the Company would agree to file one or more resale registration statements on Form S-3 (or another appropriate form if Form S-3 is not available) providing for the resale by the Investor of the shares of common stock issuable upon exchange of the Notes (the “Registrable Shares”), and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such resale registration statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable but in any event no later than the earlier of (a) the seventy-fifth calendar day following the Filing Date of such registration statement if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the registration statement and (b) the fifth business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. The Company will further agree to take all steps necessary to keep any such registration statement effective at all times until all Registrable Shares have been resold, or there remain no Registrable Shares.
Voting Agreement
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to seek stockholder approval of (i) the potential CVR Transaction and (ii) the Issuer’s issuance of shares of its common stock underlying the Notes without giving effect to the Exchange Cap. In connection with the obligation to seek such stockholder approval and as a condition to the issuance of Notes under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company expects to entered into a

voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with directors and executive officers of the Company as well as Celadon, pursuant to which these parties agreed to vote all shares of the Company’s common stock they hold in favor of each stockholder proposal.
The Company evaluated the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes in accordance with ASC 855, Subsequent Events , and determined that it represents a non-recognized subsequent event. Accordingly, no amounts have been recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
