Current report

•On September 25, 2025, the FDA approved PALSONIFY for the first-line treatment of adults with acromegaly who had an inadequate response to surgery and/or for whom surgery is not an option.

Current report

•Our research suggests that there are approximately 36,000 people living with acromegaly in the United States, of which 17,000 or more are undiagnosed, 7,500 are not in active follow-up for treatment, and 11,500 are actively managed. Our research further suggests that of the 11,500 actively managed patients in the United States, 40% are treatment naïve, 25% are on injectable somatostatin receptor ligands, 20% are on other therapies, and 15% have discontinued treatment. Our research also indicates that there are approximately 1,500 newly diagnosed patients per year, 500 of which are candidates to initiate pharmaceutical treatment.

We have recognized revenues from various research and development grants and license and collaboration agreements. We received FDA approval on PALSONIFY on September 25, 2025, but have not yet generated any product revenue during the quarter ended September 30, 2025. We have funded our operations primarily through license revenues and offerings of our preferred and common stock.

Previous wording

We have incurred cumulative net losses since our inception. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of our clinical trials and preclinical studies and our expenditures on other research and development activities. We expect our expenses and operating losses will increase substantially as we conduct our ongoing and planned clinical trials, continue our research and development activities and conduct preclinical studies, hire additional personnel, protect our intellectual property and incur costs associated with being a public company, including audit, legal, regulatory, and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, requirements, director and officer insurance premiums, and investor relations costs.

Current wording

We have incurred cumulative net losses since our inception. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on our ability to successfully commercialize PALSONIFY and the associated costs, the timing of our revenues, our clinical trials and preclinical studies, our expenditures on other research and development activities, and other expenditures to support our on-going activities, including international expansion. While the FDA approved PALSONIFY on September 25, 2025, we have not yet generated product revenues from sales of PALSONIFY as of September 30, 2025 and we expect operating expenses to increase in future periods as product revenues increase. We also expect our expenses will increase substantially as we conduct our ongoing and planned clinical trials, continue our research and development activities and conduct preclinical studies, commercialize PALSONIFY and other potential approved product candidates, if any, and incur general and administrative costs to support our on-going growth. We expect our operating losses will increase in future periods until such time, if ever, we can generate substantial product revenues to support our cost structure.

Previous wording

We do not expect to generate any revenues from product sales unless and until we successfully obtain regulatory approval for one or more of our product candidates. If we obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Accordingly, until such time as we can generate significant revenue from sales of our product candidates, if ever, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other sources as may be required, including potentially, collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, scale back or discontinue the development of our existing product candidates, our commercialization efforts or our efforts to expand our product pipeline.

Current wording

As a new commercial-stage company, we are continuing to build our market presence We expect product revenues to increase as we continue to expand our commercial activities. However, we do not anticipate generating significant or sustained revenues from product sales until our product achieves broader market acceptance and, in some cases, until we obtain additional regulatory approvals for our product candidates in the pipeline. We expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution. Accordingly, until such time as we can generate significant revenue from PALSONIFY along with other product candidates in the pipeline, if ever, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other sources as may be required, including potentially, collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues to support our cost structure, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses, and other similar arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be or could be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. In addition, our ability to access financing on the terms we anticipate, or at all, may be impacted by volatility in global credit and financial markets, including as a result of inflation, rising interest rates, fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar and the effects, if any, of evolving international trade policies and government actions relating to tariffs. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends.

Further, the U.S. federal government has been shut down since October 1, 2025, and the impact of a prolonged government shutdown on business and economic conditions generally, and on our financial position specifically, is uncertain. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends.
