Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

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 PI3Kα, AKT, or mTORC1 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 detailed results for cohort 1, patients withPIK3CA wild-type (“WT”) tumors, and has completed enrollment of cohort 2, patients withPIK3CA 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.

2. 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 nine months ended September 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.

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 our clinical trials and/or the commercial launch of our initial drug product, gedatolisib, if approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). 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, convertible notes, 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 nine-month periods presented below:

September 30,
20252024
Preferred stock on an as-if-converted to common stock1,888,3803,175,770
Options to purchase common stock5,696,3274,212,102
Warrants to purchase common stock3,206,8225,521,152
Convertible notes to common stock5,296,053-
Restricted common stock1,0291,079
Total16,088,61112,910,103

The maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes is 5,296,053 shares of common stock. However, based on the Company’s current stock price, management does not expect the maximum number of shares to be issued. Due to the recent increase in the Company’s stock price, the Conversion Price is currently above the minimum threshold, which would result in the issuance of approximately 3,923,002 shares if the Notes were converted in full as of September 30, 2025.

Pre-funded warrant shares of 6,147,787 are included in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for each of the three and nine months ended September 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 agency 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.

The following tables summarize the Company’s held-to-maturity investment securities at amortized cost as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

(in thousands) · Amortized Cost, as Adjusted · Gross Unrealized Holding Gains · Gross Unrealized Holding Losses · Estimated Fair Value
U.S. Treasury Bills$380,726$-$(56)$380,670
Total$380,726$-$(56)$380,670
(in thousands) · Amortized Cost, as Adjusted · Gross Unrealized Holding Gains · Gross Unrealized Holding Losses · Estimated Fair Value
U.S. Treasury Bills$212,589$82$-$212,671
Total$212,589$82$-$212,671

The fair value of the Company’s held-to-maturity debt securities is determined based upon inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly and are classified as Level 2 fair value instruments.

5. Commitments

Operating and Finance Leases

The Company leases its corporate space in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with an operating lease in place through April 30, 2026. The lease provides for monthly rent, real estate taxes, and operating expenses. Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Clinical Research Studies

The Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business to conduct research and development programs internally and through third 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 September 30, 2025, the Company had three material non-cancelable contractual commitments with respect to these arrangements, which totaled approximately $3.3 million.

6. Stockholders’ Equity

Capital Stock

July 2025 Equity Offering

On July 30, 2025, the Company 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 the Company’s common stock, at a price to the public of $38.00 per Share and (ii) 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, 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.

Warrants Exercised

In September 2025, an investor exercised 104,340 warrants at an exercise price of $8.05, which generated approximately $0.8 million in cash. The warrants were issued pursuant to a private placement that closed on December 9, 2022. Also in September 2025, the placement agent from private placements that closed in January and May 2016 exercised 7,917 warrants at an exercise price of $7.56, which generated approximately $0.1 million in cash.

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. Also in August 2025, the underwriter of the Company’s initial public offering that closed on September 22, 2017 exercised its warrants on a cashless basis. As a result, the Company issued 55,592 shares of common stock upon the cashless exercise of 70,000 warrants.

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 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.

The number of shares reserved for issuance was automatically increased by 371,432 and 255,060 shares on January 1, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and will increase automatically on January 1 of each year through 2027 by the number of shares equal to 1.0% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Company common stock as of the immediately preceding December 31. However, the Company’s board may reduce the amount of the increase in any particular year.

At the Annual Meeting held on May 13, 2025, the stockholders approved a 3,000,000 share increase to the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan. The total remaining shares available for grant under the Company’s 2017 Plan as of September 30, 2025 was 2,864,444.

5,696,3278.05$17.30185,0032,480,759$9.5398,988

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for stock options of $6,452 and $1,844 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $11,088 and $4,463 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In January 2025, May 2022, December 2021 and May 2020, the Company modified previously granted stock option awards to certain employees. The total incremental compensation expense recognized as a result of the modifications was $48 and $42 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $259 and $128 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effect of these modifications on stock-based compensation over the remaining service periods will be $298. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, options in the amount of 290,248 and 293,309 shares were exercised, respectively, with an intrinsic value of $11,921 and $12,052, respectively. Included in the options exercised in the quarter, there were 950 options exercised in a cashless exercise whereby 215 shares were used to settle the exercise price and the remaining 735 shares were issued. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, options in the amount of 36,312 and 89,059 were exercised, respectively, with an intrinsic value of $211 and $662, respectively.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of equity-based awards and the Monte Carlo simulation model was used for the performance-based awards, with the following weighted-average assumptions for the nine months ended September 30:

20252024
Risk-free interest rate3.64 to 4.65%3.48 to 4.71%
Expected volatility74.4 to 78.2%71.2 to 76.1%
Expected life (years)5.01 to 10.005.25 to 10.00
Expected dividend yield0%0%

The inputs for the Black-Scholes valuation model and the Monte Carlo simulation 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 and the life of the option for the performance-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 for the time-based awards. For the performance-based awards, the Company’s full historical volatility was used to value the options.

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 Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) granted to members of the Company’s board during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were 1,029 shares. There were no RSAs granted during the three months ended September 30, 2025. RSAs granted to members of the Company’s board during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were 1,429 shares. There were no RSAs granted during the three months ended September 30, 2024. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, RSAs vested in the amount ofzero shares and 1,709 shares, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, RSAs vested in the amount ofzero shares and 2,308 shares, respectively. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for RSAs ofzero and $4 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $6 and $18 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. RSAs outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 were 1,029 shares and 1,079 shares, respectively.

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and RSAs that is estimated to be recognized at September 30, 2025 is as follows:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to its employee stock purchase plan of $327 and $83 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $833 and $192 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The number of shares reserved for issuance was automatically increased by 185,716 on January 1, 2025, and will increase automatically on January 1 of each year through 2027 by thenumber of shares equal to 0.5% of the total outstanding number of shares of Company common stock as of the immediately preceding December 31. However, the Company’s board may reduce the amount of the increase in any particular year. The total remaining shares available for issuance under the employee stock purchase plan as of September 30, 2025 was 519,700.

8. Debt

July 2025 Convertible Notes Offering

On July 30, 2025, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Note Underwriting Agreement”) with the Underwriters, subject to customary conditions, to issue and sell in a public offering $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.750% 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 $26.3 million aggregate principal amount of Notes solely to cover over-allotments. On July 30, 2025, the Underwriters exercised such option to purchase an additional $26.3 million aggregate principal amount of Notes. The issuance of $201.3 million 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.

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%.

The issuance costs attributed to the Notes amounted to $6.3 million and were discounted from the Notes. The issuance cost discount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes based on the effective interest rate method. For each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025, discount amortization charged to interest expense related to the issuance costs was $0.2 million.

On September 9, 2025, the Company entered into the Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “A&R Loan Agreement”) with Oxford Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Oxford”), as collateral agent and a lender, Innovatus Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Innovatus”), as a lender, and the other lenders party thereto (together with Oxford and Innovatus, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the A&R Loan Agreement was amended to (i) replace Innovatus with Oxford as collateral agent; (ii) recognize the achievement of the Term D Milestone (as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement, as amended by the Third Amendment (the “Amended A&R Loan Agreement”)) and provide for the immediate disbursement of the $30.0 million Term D Loan (as defined in the Amended A&R Loan Agreement); (iii) increase the size of the Term E Loan (as defined in the Amended A&R Loan Agreement) from $50.0 million to up to $100.0 million, which Term E Loan may only be drawn upon FDA approval of gedatolisib in second line wild-type advanced breast cancer patients post CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy; (iv) add three new up to $40.0 million Term F Loans (as defined in the Amended A&R Loan Agreement), which may only be drawn upon achievement of certain trailing three months’ product revenue thresholds; (v) replace the prior $45.0 million Term F Loan (as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement) with a new $150.0 million Term G Loan (as defined in the Amended A&R Loan Agreement), which continues to be available only in the Lenders’ sole discretion upon the Company’s request; (vi) require an amendment fee payable by the Company to the Lenders in the amount of $50,000, which was paid at the closing of the Third Amendment; (vii) make certain revisions to the non-utilization fee for the Term E Loan, and add a new non-utilization fee for the Term F Loans, in each case equal to 3.0% of the applicable unfunded commitment, after taking into consideration any reductions to the applicable term loan commitment that the Company may make by notice to the collateral agent before the date that is eight weeks after the achievement of any applicable milestones; and (viii) extend the maturity date of the term loans to November 1, 2029. The Term E Loan and each Term F Loan also are subject to other customary conditions and limits on when the Company can request funding. With the disbursement of the $30.0 million Term D Loan, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $27.8 million.

In accordance with the A&R Loan Agreement, a Final Fee equal to 4.5% of the $30.0 million Term D Loan was recognized and an additional $1.4 million was added to debt principal and a corresponding debt discount to be amortized over the life of the loan.

In connection with the Third Amendment, the Company issued warrants with an exercise price of $14.84 per share to purchase an aggregate of 50,537 shares of the Company’s common stock to Innovatus, Oxford, and certain of its affiliates (the “Third Amendment Warrants”). The Third Amendment Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and are exercisable through the tenth anniversary of the funding date of the Term D Loan. The number of shares of common stock for which each Third Amendment Warrant is exercisable and the associated exercise price are subject to certain proportional adjustments as set forth in such Third Amendment Warrant.

A portion of the proceeds from the Term D Loan in the amount of $2.8 million was allocated to the Third Amendment Warrants based on their relative fair value to the underlying Term D Loan. The proceeds allocated to the Third Amendment Warrants were recorded as additional paid in capital in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and were discounted from the Term D Loan. The relative fair value of the Third Amendment Warrants was based on the Black-Scholes method with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.08%; expected volatility of 74.4%; expected life of 10.0 years; and expected dividend yield 0%. The underlying stock price used in the analysis was the traded market price. The discount related to the Third Amendment Warrants is being amortized to interest expense ratably over the term of the Term D Loan.

Second Amendment

On July 28, 2025, the Company entered into the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the A&R Loan Agreement with Innovatus, as collateral agent, and the Lenders including Innovatus in its capacity as a Lender and 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 was amended to (i) subject to certain terms and conditions, permit the issuance of the Notes discussed above 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.

Further, 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 became eligible to draw an additional $30.0 million of indebtedness under the Term D Loan (as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement). As described above, the Term D Loan was disbursed to the Company in connection with the Third Amendment.

First Amendment

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 had failed 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.

May 30, 2024 Amendment and Restatement

On May 30, 2024, the Company entered into the A&R Loan Agreement. The A&R Loan Agreement amended and restated, 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”). As described above, the Term D Loan was disbursed to the Company in connection with the Third Amendment. Prior to the Third Amendment, the Company also would have 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 also could have, in their sole discretion upon the Company’s request, made additional term loans to the Company of $45 million (the “Term F Loan”). Funding of these additional tranches was also subject to other customary conditions and limits on when the Company could have requested 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 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 are being 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. Prior to the Second Amendment, Innovatus also had 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.

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 the Term E Loans. Following the disbursement of the Term D Loan in connection with the Third Amendment, the non-utilization provisions related to the Term D Loan are no longer operative. 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 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 and the Term D Loans, 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 was, with respect to the Term C Loan, 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 Term D Loans, the exercise price was 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 Term D Loan funding. Prior to the Third Amendment, the Company also was required to issue warrants to Innovatus and Oxford in connection with the funding of the Term E Loan and the Term F Loan. 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.

The Company evaluated the change of terms under ASC 470-50, “Debt – Modification and Extinguishment” with respect to the Third Amendment, the Second Amendment, the First Amendment and the A&R Loan Agreement 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.

Long-term debt consisted of the following at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

**9. 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 FDA regulatory filing of a New Drug Application (“NDA”) for gedatolisib. The FDA granted the Company’s request to submit its NDA via the FDA’s Real-Time Oncology Review (“RTOR”) program, and the Company made its first NDA pre-submission in September 2025 and expects to complete its final NDA submission to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company has recorded the $5.0 million NDA filing milestone as a research and development expense in June 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.
