Sources of Liquidity

To date, we have financed our operations primarily from the sale of our equity securities, upfront or milestone payments from our research, collaboration and license agreements with our strategic partners including Gilead and debt financing. We will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our development strategy. Until such time that we can generate significant revenue from sales of our investigational products, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through the sale of equity, debt financings or other capital sources, including existing or potential collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” for a discussion of the factors that could impact our liquidity.

Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, Gilead has the right, at its option, to purchase additional shares from us, up to a maximum ownership of 35% of our then-outstanding voting common stock, from time to time until July 2025. In the first quarter 2024, we further amended and restated the Stock Purchase Agreement and sold 15.2 million shares of our common stock to Gilead at a purchase price of $21.00 per share for total gross proceeds of $320 million. Of the $320 million equity investment, $87 million was determined to be a premium on the purchase of common stock and allocated to the performance obligations created by the Third Gilead Collaboration Agreement Amendment. As of December 31, 2024, Gilead held approximately 32.6% of our outstanding common stock arising from purchases in our 2020 public offering and purchases under the Stock Purchase Agreement and the related amendments. Gilead acquired an additional 1.4 million shares of our common stock in the February 2025 underwritten offering and subsequently held approximately 29.7% of our common stock as of February 19, 2025. 

In 2023, we entered into an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which we may, from time to time, sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $200 million. We had no activity during the year ended December 31, 2024, and during the year ended December 31, 2023, we issued and sold under this agreement 0.2 million shares of our common stock for total net proceeds of $5 million.
