Current report
On April 15, 2025, the Trump Administration published Executive Order 14273, “Lowering Drug Prices by Once Again Putting Americans First,” which generally directs the federal government to take measures to reduce drug prices, including eliminating the so-called “pill penalty” under the Inflation Reduction Act that creates a distinction between small molecule and large molecule products for purposes of determining when a drug may be eligible for drug price negotiation. On May 12, 2025, the Trump Administration published Executive Order 14297, “Delivering Most-Favored-Nation Prescription Drug Pricing to American Patients” which generally, among other things, directs the federal government to establish and communicate most-favored-nation, or MFN, price targets to pharmaceutical manufacturers to bring prices for American patients in line with comparably developed nations. Further, the Executive Order directs the federal government to support regulatory paths to allow direct-to-patient sales for companies that meet these targets. It also states that the Trump Administration will take additional aggressive action (for example, examining whether marketing approvals should be modified or rescinded or opening the door for individual drug importation waivers) should manufacturers fail to offer American consumers the MFN lowest price. It also directs the Secretary of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative to “take all necessary and appropriate action to ensure foreign countries are not engaged in any act, policy, or practice that may be unreasonable or discriminatory or that may impair United States national security . . . including by suppressing the price of pharmaceutical products below fair market value in foreign countries.” Notably, a similar “Most Favored Nation” pricing rule enacted under the first Trump Administration was subject to an injunction resulting from judicial challenges to the rule, which was formally rescinded by the former Biden Administration in August 2021.

On December 19, 2025, CMS released two proposed rules that would incorporate MFN pricing principles into federal reimbursement for prescription drugs: the Global Benchmark for Efficient Drug Pricing Model, or GLOBE, for Medicare Part B and the Guarding U.S. Medicare Against Rising Drug Costs model, or GUARD, for Medicare Part D. On October 2, 2026, CMS finalized the GLOBE regulation, effective November 30, 2026, as a mandatory CMS Innovation Center payment model under Section 1115A of the Social Security Act. As finalized, GLOBE will require manufacturers of specified single source drugs and sole source biologics (within designated therapeutic classes and that have incurred more than $100 million of Medicare Part B spending over a 12-month period) to pay incremental rebates based on an alternative, internationally benchmarked calculation of the existing Medicare Part B drug inflation rebate. GLOBE will begin on January 1, 2027 with the collection of voluntary manufacturer-submitted international drug net pricing data, and will be tested over 5 performance years, running from April 1, 2027 through March 31, 2032. The associated payment period will run from April 1, 2027 through March 31, 2034. GLOBE excludes orphan-only drugs, cell and gene therapy products, plasma-derived products, and drugs with an effective Medicare-negotiated maximum fair price.
Current report
GUARD remains a proposed regulation that has not been finalized and, as proposed, would similarly mandate manufacturer rebates for qualifying sole source drugs where the Medicare net price exceeds an MFN benchmark derived from international reference pricing methodologies, with its performance period proposed to begin in 2027. The GLOBE model and the proposed GUARD model will likely be subject to legal challenges that could delay implementation or modify their impact on manufacturer pricing and revenue. Additionally, in November 2025, CMS introduced the GENErating cost Reductions for U.S. Medicaid model, or the GENEROUS Model, a voluntary MFN framework for manufacturers participating in the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program. Although it is voluntary, the GENEROUS Model could also impact the drug pricing landscape for manufacturers.

For example, we sometimes collaborate with U.S. and foreign academic institutions to accelerate our nonclinical research or development under written agreements with these institutions. Typically, these institutions provide us with an option to negotiate a license to any of the institution’s rights in technology resulting from the collaboration. Regardless of such option, we may be unable to negotiate a license within the specified timeframe or under terms that are acceptable to us. If we are unable to do so, the institution may offer the intellectual property rights to other parties, potentially blocking our ability to pursue our applicable investigational treatment or program.

The increasing use of artificial intelligence presents new risks and challenges that can impact our business including by posing security risks to our confidential information, proprietary information, and personal data.
Current report
We may use, and our vendors may incorporate AI, both through our own development and through the adoption of commercially available tools. Our use and adoption of AI presents risks and challenges that could adversely impact our business, including risks relating to cybersecurity, data privacy, information technology, confidentiality, and intellectual property. Our use of AI tools may increase the risk of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, compromise of proprietary intellectual property, or inadvertent inclusion of third-party intellectual property or other protected material, which could result in disputes or claims of infringement.
Current report
Our vendors may incorporate AI tools into their offerings, and the providers of these tools may not meet existing or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards, including with respect to privacy and data protection, and may inhibit our or our vendors' ability to maintain an adequate level of service and security. In addition, the adoption of AI tools by our vendors may create content, analyses or recommendations without human intervention that take or suggest actions based on incomplete or inaccurate data, "hallucinatory" inferences, or flawed training inputs or contain copyrighted or other protected material. If we use this flawed or protected content or materials to our detriment, we may be exposed to brand or reputational harm, competitive harm, and/or legal liability. If our vendors, or our third-party partners experience an actual or perceived breach of privacy or security incident because of the use of AI, we may lose valuable intellectual property and confidential information and our reputation and the public perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed.
Current report
The relative newness of the technology, the speed at which it is being adopted, and the paucity of laws, regulations or standards expressly and specifically governing its use increases these risks.

If this jury trial waiver provision is not permitted by applicable law, an action could proceed under the terms of the deposit agreement with a jury trial. If we or the depositary opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, the court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable based on the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with the applicable state and federal law. To our knowledge, the enforceability of a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver in connection with claims arising under the federal securities laws has not been finally adjudicated by the U.S. Supreme Court. However, we believe that a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision is generally enforceable, including under the laws of the State of New York, which govern the deposit agreement, by a federal or state court in the City of New York, which has non-exclusive jurisdiction over matters arising under the deposit agreement. In determining whether to enforce a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision, courts will generally consider whether a party knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived the right to a jury trial. We believe that this is the case with respect to the deposit agreement and our ADSs. It is advisable that you consult legal counsel regarding the jury waiver provision before entering into the deposit agreement.

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company and we have not generated any revenue to date. We have incurred significant operating losses since our formation. We have incurred recurring operating losses since our inception. While we reported net income in certain periods, those results were primarily attributable to non-recurring, non-cash items rather than ongoing operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized net loss of $162.6 million, compared to a net loss of $56.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $985.2 million. Our historical losses resulted principally from costs incurred in connection with research and development activities and general and administrative costs associated with our operations. During the term of our pre-funded warrants, or the Pre-Funded Warrants, issued in our registered financing in January 2025, or the January 2025 Financing, and in our underwritten offering in February 2026, or the February 2026 Offering, which are classified as liabilities, our net loss can change significantly quarter to quarter due to non-cash increases or decreases in the fair value of these warrants. We intend to continue to conduct research and development, clinical trials, regulatory compliance, market access and commercialization activities that, together with anticipated general and administrative expenses, will result in incurring further significant operating losses for at least the next several years. Our expected operating losses, among other things, may continue to cause our working capital and shareholders’ equity to decrease. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially if and as we, among other things:

We have funded our operations since our initial public offering, or IPO, in 2020, through public equity offerings, private placements of ADSs and warrants and debt financing. To become and remain profitable, we will need to continue developing and eventually commercialize treatments that generate significant revenue. This will require us to be successful in a range of challenging activities, including completing our Phase 3 program of COMP360 in TRD and other clinical trials of COMP360 or any future therapeutic candidates, training a sufficient number of qualified healthcare professionals to monitor and safeguard participants in our clinical trials, discovering and developing any future therapeutic candidates, obtaining regulatory approval for COMP360 psilocybin treatment and any future therapeutic candidates that successfully complete clinical trials, and establishing sales and marketing capabilities. Even if COMP360 psilocybin treatment or any of the future therapeutic candidates that we may develop are approved for commercial sale, we anticipate incurring significant costs associated with commercializing COMP360 or any other approved future therapeutic candidate. We may never succeed in these activities and, even if we do, may never generate revenue that is significant enough to achieve profitability.

Unless and until we generate product revenue and achieve and sustain profitability, we will need additional funding in the future to sufficiently finance our operations. If the PIPE Warrants outstanding, as of August 3, 2026, are exercised in full for cash, we would receive an additional $105.8 million in gross proceeds. However, because the holders of the PIPE Warrants are not obligated to exercise such warrants, we have not included any anticipated proceeds from such exercises of PIPE Warrants in our estimate of our cash runway. We expect that our cash and cash equivalents of $433.3 million as of June 30, 2026 will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2028. We have based our estimated cash runway on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Further, changing circumstances, some of which may be beyond our control, such as fluctuating inflation and interest rates, could cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned. Our future funding requirements, both short-term and long-term, will depend on many factors, including:

As of June 30, 2026, we had 11,809,700 outstanding PIPE Warrants.

The PIPE Warrants are exercisable for a three-year period ending in February 2027 and have an exercise price of $9.93. We believe the likelihood that these holders will exercise the PIPE Warrants, and therefore any cash proceeds that we may receive in relation to the exercise of such PIPE Warrants, will be dependent on the trading price of our ADSs relative to the exercise price and the trading price of our ADSs may not continue to exceed the exercise price of the PIPE Warrants prior to their expiration.

We may seek additional capital through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, strategic collaborations and alliances, licensing arrangements or monetization transactions. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity, convertible debt securities or other equity-based derivative securities or the exercise of the PIPE Warrants, your ownership interest will be diluted and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a shareholder. For example, if all of the outstanding warrants were exercised, we would issue 35,752,751 ADSs which would result in significant dilution to our shareholders. In addition, we have raised additional funds in the past and may raise additional funds in the future by issuing equity securities under our ATM Facility and, as a result, our stockholders have in the past experienced and may in the future experience dilution. Our Loan Agreement with Hercules includes, and any future debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include affirmative and negative restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, limitations on our ability to acquire, sell or license intellectual property rights and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. For example, our Loan Agreement with Hercules contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain certain minimum cash balances beginning October 1, 2027 and we will need to raise additional financing or significantly reduce our operating expenses to maintain compliance with this financial covenant. Furthermore, the issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our ADSs to decline and existing shareholders may not agree with our financing plans or the terms of such financings. If we raise additional funds through strategic collaborations and alliances, licensing arrangements or monetization transactions with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment or any future therapeutic candidates or otherwise agree to terms unfavorable to us, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and prospects. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market our investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment or any future therapeutic candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

We may borrow additional funds of up to $100.0 million in three tranches under the terms of our Loan Agreement. The remaining tranches of term loans under our Loan Agreement with Hercules consist of (i) term loans of up to $30.0 million subject to our achievement of a milestone relating to certain FDA approvals being granted, (ii) term loans of up to $20.0 million subject to our achievement of a specified commercial milestone, and (iii) term loans of up to $20.0 million, plus the $30.0 million that became available to us upon achievement of a specified clinical milestone and any remaining unborrowed amounts from the earlier tranches, subject to the approval of Hercules’ investment committee. If these conditions are met, these remaining tranches may be borrowed in drawings of a minimum of $5.0 million each. Without the achievement of the specified regulatory and commercial milestones and the satisfaction of certain customary conditions, we will not be eligible to draw additional funds under the remaining tranches. If we do not receive approval from Hercules’ investment committee, which is beyond our control, we will not be eligible to draw funds under the final tranche under our Loan Agreement and will not realize the full benefits of our Loan Agreement. If we are unable to draw down additional funding under the terms of the Loan Agreement, our business, financial condition and results of operation may be harmed and we may be required to seek out alternative financing sources which may have less favorable terms.

COMP360 and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, an application for a Schedule II importer registration must be published in the Federal Register, and there is a waiting period for third-party comments to be submitted. It is always possible that adverse comments may delay the grant of an importer registration. If COMP360 is approved and classified as a Schedule II controlled substance, federal law may prohibit the import of the substance for commercial purposes. If COMP360 is listed as a Schedule II substance, we will not be allowed to import the drug for commercial purposes unless the DEA determines that domestic supplies are inadequate or there is inadequate domestic competition among domestic manufacturers for the substance as defined by the DEA. Moreover, Schedule I controlled substances, including psilocybin and psilocin, have never been registered with the DEA for importation for commercial purposes, only for scientific and research needs. Therefore, if neither COMP360 nor its drug substance could be imported, COMP360 would have to be wholly manufactured in the U.S., and we would need to secure a manufacturer that would be required to obtain and maintain a separate DEA registration for that activity.
Current wording
•Importation. If COMP360 is approved and classified as a Schedule II, III or IV substance, an importer can import it for commercial purposes if it obtains an importer registration and files an application for an import permit for each import. The DEA provides annual assessments/estimates to the International Narcotics Control Board, which guides the DEA in the amounts of controlled substances that the DEA authorizes to be imported. The failure to identify an importer or obtain the necessary import authority, including specific quantities, could affect the availability of COMP360 and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, an application for a Schedule II importer registration must be published in the Federal Register, and there is a waiting period for third-party comments to be submitted. It is always possible that adverse comments may delay the grant of an importer registration.

Treatments containing controlled substances may generate public controversy. Political and social pressures and adverse publicity could lead to delays in approval of, and increased expenses for, COMP360 and any future therapeutic candidates we may develop. Opponents of these treatments may seek restrictions on marketing and withdrawal of any regulatory approvals. In addition, these opponents may seek to generate negative publicity in an effort to persuade the medical community to reject these treatments. For example, we may face media-communicated criticism directed at our clinical development program. Adverse publicity from psilocybin misuse or risky behavior associated with recreational use of psilocybin may adversely affect our ability to obtain regulatory approval of our investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment and, if approved, may adversely affect the commercial success or market penetration achievable by our investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment. Anti-psychedelic protests have historically occurred and may occur in the future and generate media coverage. Political pressures and adverse publicity could lead to delays in, and increased expenses for, and limit or restrict the introduction and marketing of, our investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment or any future therapeutic candidates.

For example, we may face media-communicated criticism directed at our clinical development program or, if we successfully obtain regulatory approval for our investigational COMP360 psilocybin, our commercial launch. Adverse publicity from psilocybin misuse or risky behavior associated with recreational use of psilocybin may adversely affect our ability to obtain regulatory approval of our investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment and, if approved, may adversely affect the commercial success or market penetration achievable by our investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment. Anti-psychedelic protests have historically occurred and may occur in the future and generate media coverage. Political pressures and adverse publicity could lead to delays in, and increased expenses for, and limit or restrict the introduction and marketing of, our investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment or any future therapeutic candidates.
Previous wording
Before obtaining regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of our investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment or future therapeutic candidates, we must demonstrate through lengthy, complex and expensive preclinical studies and clinical trials that the applicable therapeutic candidate is both safe and effective for use in each target indication. A therapeutic candidate must demonstrate an adequate risk versus benefit profile in its intended patient population and for its intended use.

We cannot be certain that our Phase 2b/3 clinical trial in PTSD or any other future clinical trials will be successful. We cannot be certain that our Phase 3 pivotal trials for COMP360 in TRD will demonstrate the efficacy and safety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment. In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same therapeutic candidate due to numerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherence to the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. If the results of our ongoing or future clinical trials are inconclusive with respect to the efficacy of COMP360, if we do not meet the clinical endpoints with statistical and clinically meaningful significance, or if there are safety concerns associated with COMP360, we may be delayed in obtaining marketing approval, or we may never obtain marketing approval. Any safety concerns observed in any one of our clinical trials in our targeted indications could limit the prospects for regulatory approval of COMP360 in those and other indications, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Even if our clinical trials are successfully completed, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses and we cannot guarantee that the FDA, the EMA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities will interpret the results as we do, or agree that our clinical trials have been appropriately designed or powered to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of COMP360. Accordingly, more trials could be required before we submit COMP360 for approval. To the extent that the results of the trials are not satisfactory to the FDA, the EMA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities for support of a marketing application, approval of COMP360 may be significantly delayed, or we may be required to expend significant resources, which may not be available to us, to conduct additional trials in support of potential approval of COMP360. Moreover, results acceptable to support approval in one jurisdiction may be deemed inadequate by another regulatory authority to support regulatory approval in that other jurisdiction. Due to the inherent risk in the development of therapeutic substances, there is a significant likelihood that COMP360 and any future therapeutic candidates will not successfully complete development and receive approval. Many other companies that believed their therapeutic candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtain regulatory approval for the marketing of their product. If we do not receive regulatory approvals for COMP360 or future therapeutic candidates, we may not be able to continue our operations. Even if regulatory approval is secured for COMP360 or any future therapeutic candidate, the terms of such approval may limit the scope and use of a specific therapeutic candidate, which may also limit its commercial potential.

We have in the past published and, from time to time in the future we may publish, interim, top-line or preliminary data from our clinical trials. We may decide to conduct an interim analysis of the data after a certain number or percentage of subjects have been enrolled, but before completion of the trial. Similarly, we may report top-line or preliminary results of primary and key secondary endpoints before the final trial results are completed. For example, in February 2026, we reported preliminary results from our Phase 3 trials in TRD and in June 2026, we reported additional results from our Phase 3 COMP006 trial, and the full results and safety data from our Phase 3 clinical trials in TRD may not be consistent with the preliminary results to date. Interim, top-line and preliminary data from our clinical trials may change as more patient data or analyses become available and are not necessarily predictive of final results. Further interim, top-line and preliminary data are subject to the risk that one or more of the clinical outcomes may materially change as patient enrollment continues, more patient data become available and we issue our final clinical trial report. Interim, top-line and preliminary data also remain subject to audit and verification procedures that may result in the final data being materially different from the preliminary data we previously published. As a result, interim, top-line and preliminary data should be viewed with caution until the final data are available. Material adverse changes in the final data compared to the interim data could significantly harm our business prospects or cause the price of our stock to decline.

We have not previously submitted a new drug application, or NDA, to the FDA, or a marketing authorization application, or MAA, to the EMA or the MHRA, and have not obtained regulatory approval for COMP360. Before obtaining regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of COMP360 or any future therapeutic candidates, we must demonstrate through lengthy, complex and expensive preclinical testing and clinical trials that COMP360 and any future therapeutic candidates are both safe and effective for use in each target indication. Clinical testing is expensive and can take many years to complete, and its outcome is inherently uncertain. Failure can occur at any time during the clinical trial process, and while COMP360 is in a late stage of development, there continues to be a high risk of failure and we may never succeed in developing marketable products.

We anticipate having on-going dialogue with the FDA throughout the conduct of the Phase 3 trials. In February 2026, we announced the successful achievement of the primary endpoint in our ongoing Phase 3 COMP006 trial and Part B results from our Phase 3 COMP005 trial. We reported that the COMP006 trial achieved its primary endpoint with two fixed doses, administered 3 weeks apart, of COMP360 25 mg versus 1 mg demonstrating a highly statistically significant reduction in symptom severity with a p-value of <0.001 and a clinically meaningful difference of -3.8 points in change at six weeks.

In addition, any negative results we may report in clinical trials of COMP360 or any future therapeutic candidates may make it difficult or impossible to retain a sufficient number of enrolled patients to complete our Phase 3 trials in TRD and to recruit and retain patients in other clinical trials of that same therapeutic candidate. Delays in the enrollment for any clinical trial of COMP360 or any future therapeutic candidates have in the past and will in the future likely increase our costs, delay the timeframe in which the results of our clinical trials will become available, slow down the regulatory approval process and delay or potentially jeopardize our ability to commence sales of our investigational COMP 360 psilocybin treatment, if approved, and generate revenue. For example, in our clinical trials for TRD, reviewing and verifying a participant’s medical records to confirm such participant meets the inclusion criteria for TRD is time-consuming and administratively burdensome, which can delay the screening process for our clinical trials. In addition, some of the factors that cause, or lead to, a delay in the commencement or completion of clinical trials may also ultimately lead to the denial of regulatory approval of COMP360 or any future therapeutic candidates.

In addition, in the past, enrollment in our trials was adversely affected as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic due to limited availability of participants, the inability of patients, healthcare professionals to participate in our trials, interruptions in supply chains and delays with regulators and other similar bodies. The conduct of our trials may continue to be adversely affected by future public health crises or pandemics, despite efforts to mitigate this impact.

Third-party treatment sites could, for a number of reasons, demand higher payments for our treatments or take other actions to increase their income from selling our treatments, which could result in higher costs for payors and for our patients to get access to our treatments. For example, legal regimes may have higher levels of licensure which force us to contract with third-party treatment sites that demand higher payment rates to administer our COMP360 psilocybin treatment, if regulatory approval is obtained. In addition, third-party treatment sites may have difficulty meeting any applicable regulatory or accreditation requirements.

Given the novel nature of our treatment, third-party treatment sites may face additional financial and administrative burdens in order to deliver any approved treatment, including adhering to a REMS plan in the U.S. or a Risk Management Program, or RMP, in Europe. The process for a third-party treatment site to obtain a certificate under a REMS plan can be very costly and time-consuming, which could delay a third-party treatment site’s ability to provide our treatments and materially adversely affect our commercialization trajectory. Furthermore, third-party treatment sites will need to ensure that they have the necessary infrastructure and equipment in order to deliver our investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment, such as adequate audio-visual equipment, ancillary equipment and sufficient treatment rooms. This may deter third-party treatment sites from providing our therapeutic candidate and reduce our ability to expand our network and generate revenue. Our ability to develop and maintain satisfactory relationships with third-party treatment sites may otherwise be negatively impacted by other factors not associated with our operations and, in some instances, outside of our direct or indirect control, such as negative perceptions regarding the medical use of psilocybin or other psychedelic drugs, changes in Medicare and/or Medicaid or commercial payors reimbursement levels and other pressures on healthcare providers and consolidation activity among hospitals, physician groups and the providers. Reimbursement levels may be inadequate to cover third-party treatment sites’ costs of delivering our investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment. The failure to maintain or to secure new cost-effective contracts with third-party treatment sites may result in a loss of or inability to grow our network of third-party treatment sites, patient base, higher costs to our patients and us, healthcare provider network disruptions and/or difficulty in meeting regulatory or accreditation requirements, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As therapeutic candidates are developed through preclinical studies to late-stage clinical trials towards potential approval and commercialization, it is common that various aspects of the development program, such as manufacturing methods and formulation, may be altered along the way in an effort to optimize processes and results. Any of these changes could cause our investigational COMP360 drug product or any future drug candidates to perform differently and affect the results of planned clinical trials or other future clinical trials conducted with the materials manufactured using altered processes. Such changes may also require additional testing, FDA notification or FDA approval. This could delay completion of clinical trials, require the conduct of bridging clinical trials or the repetition of one or more clinical trials, increase clinical trial costs, delay approval of COMP360 or any future therapeutic candidates and jeopardize our ability to commence product sales and generate revenue and add commercial manufacturing capacity in the U.S.
Current wording
As therapeutic candidates are developed through nonclinical studies to late-stage clinical trials towards potential approval and commercialization, it is common that various aspects of the development program, such as manufacturing methods and formulation, may be altered along the way in an effort to optimize processes and results. Any of these changes could cause our investigational COMP360 drug product or any future drug candidates to perform differently and affect the results of planned clinical trials or other future clinical trials conducted with the materials manufactured using altered processes. Such changes may also require additional testing, FDA notification or FDA approval. This could delay completion of clinical trials, require the conduct of bridging clinical trials or the repetition of one or more clinical trials, increase clinical trial costs, delay approval of COMP360 or any future therapeutic candidates and jeopardize our ability to commence product sales and generate revenue and add commercial manufacturing capacity in the U.S.
Previous wording
In June 2025, the FDA announced the creation of a new program, the National Priority Review pilot program, to expedite the development and approval of drug products with potential to address a major national priority, such as addressing a large unmet medical need, reducing downstream health care utilization, addressing a public health crisis, boosting domestic manufacturing, or increasing medication affordability. The FDA has stated that voucher recipients will receive a decision on an accelerated basis within of 1-2 months following filing of a complete application for the relevant drug or biologic candidate, as well as enhanced communication with review staff throughout the development process prior to final submission of the application and during the review period. However, receipt of the National Priority Review voucher does not guarantee that our rolling NDA submission will be approved by FDA. The FDA has stated that the review time for an application of a National Priority Review recipient may be extended, including because the application is incomplete, there are manufacturing violations, if the results of pivotal trial(s) are ambiguous, if the review is particularly complex, or for other reasons deemed appropriate by the FDA. The National Priority Review program is in pilot stage, so its implementation, operation, and ultimate benefits or impacts are subject to uncertainty.

360 psilocybin treatment, if approved, and generate revenue. For example, in our clinical trials for TRD, reviewing and verifying a participant’s medical records to confirm such participant meets the inclusion criteria for TRD was time-consuming and administratively burdensome, which initially delayed the screening process for those clinical trials. In addition, some of the factors that cause, or lead to, a delay in the commencement or completion of clinical trials may also ultimately lead to the denial of regulatory approval of COMP360 or any future therapeutic candidates.

10,947,257 and U.S. Patent 10,954,259, and on August 16, 2022, the third-party challenger also filed requests for a Precedential Opinion Panel in each of the patents. On February 10, 2023, the USPTO Board denied the request for a Precedential Opinion Panel in each of the challenges. On May 23, 2023, the USPTO Board denied the requests for rehearing in each of the challenges. The outcome following legal assertions of invalidity and unenforceability during patent litigation or other proceedings is unpredictable. With respect to the validity question, for example, we cannot be certain that there is no invalidating prior art, of which we and the patent examiner were unaware during prosecution. If a defendant or third party were to prevail on a legal assertion of invalidity or unenforceability, we would lose at least part, and perhaps all, of the patent protection on COMP360 or one or more of any future therapeutic candidates. Such a loss of patent protection could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. Further, litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of management resources, regardless of the outcome, and this could harm our business and financial results.

550 adult patients, with the first Phase 3 trial expected to report top-line data in the fourth quarter of 2026. In addition, an increasing number of companies are stepping up their efforts in discovery of new psychedelic compounds. It is also probable that the number of companies seeking to develop psychedelic products and treatments for mental health illnesses, such as depression, will increase. If any of our competitors is granted an NDA for their psychedelic treatments before us and manages to obtain approval for a broader indication, such as major depressive disorder, and thus access a wider patient population, we may face more intensified competition from such potential psychedelic treatments and increased difficulties in winning market acceptance of our investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment or any future therapeutic candidates. All of these risks are heightened because other psilocybin-based products, which may lack patent protection, may be deemed an appropriate substitute for COMP360.

•Importation. If COMP360 is approved and classified as a Schedule II, III or IV substance, an importer can import it for commercial purposes if it obtains an importer registration and files an application for an import permit for each import. The DEA provides annual assessments/estimates to the International Narcotics Control Board, which guides the DEA in the amounts of controlled substances that the DEA authorizes to be imported. The failure to identify an importer or obtain the necessary import authority, including specific quantities, could affect the availability of
