), evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are currently engaged in arbitration proceedings with Beam Therapeutics, Inc. (“Beam”) regarding the parties’ collaboration and license agreement (the “Agreement”). A dispute arose between the parties following our March 18, 2025 announcement that we are developing a Prime Editing-based treatment for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (“AATD”). On April 16, 2025, Beam filed an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), alleging that we have breached the Agreement by developing a product for the treatment of AATD and by allegedly not complying with certain obligations to transfer technical information to Beam pursuant to the Agreement. Beam also makes related claims for trade secret misappropriation and various business torts based on similar allegations, including allegations made on information and belief. Beam seeks both declaratory, injunctive, and monetary relief, but has not yet quantified the amount of damages it seeks. On April 18, 2025, we filed an arbitration demand with the AAA seeking a declaration that our AATD program is within our “Field” as defined by the Agreement. The arbitrations have been consolidated, and the consolidated proceeding remains in its early stages. If the final resolution of the matter is adverse to us, the arbitration panel may provide Beam with relief including, among other things, monetary damages and/or an order that we cease work on our AATD program and transfer such program to Beam.
