**CORCEPT THERAPEUTICS INCORPORATED**

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

**Description of Business**

Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (collectively, "Corcept," the "Company," "we," "us," and "our") is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of medications to treat severe endocrinologic, oncologic, metabolic and neurologic disorders by modulating the effects of the hormone cortisol. In 2012, the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approved Korlym® ("mifepristone") 300 mg tablets, as a once-daily oral medication for the treatment of hyperglycemia secondary to hypercortisolism in adult patients with endogenous Cushing's syndrome who have type 2 diabetes mellitus or glucose intolerance and have failed surgery or are not candidates for surgery and in June 2024, we made an authorized generic version of Korlym available. We have discovered and patented four structurally distinct series of selective cortisol modulators, consisting of more than 1,000 compounds. We are developing compounds from these series as potential treatments for a broad range of serious disorders.

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware in May 1998. Our headquarters are located in Redwood City, California.

**Basis of Presentation**

We have prepared the following in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X: (i) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 and (ii) condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income and stockholders' equity for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and (iii) condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. These do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation (which in the applicable periods consist only of normal, recurring adjustments) have been included. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the remainder of 2025 or any other period. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The December 31, 2024 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements at that date.

*Segment Reporting*

We determine our operating segments based on the way we organize our business, make decisions, allocate resources and assess performance. Joseph K. Belanoff, M.D., Chief Executive Officer, is our Chief Operating Decision Maker who reviews our consolidated balance sheets and statements of income. We view our operations and manage our business as one operating segment, which is the discovery, development and commercialization of biopharmaceutical products.

There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements**

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to give investors more detailed income tax information. This ASU is effective for public companies with annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We have adopted this guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The effects of the adoption of this guidance will be included in our year-end income tax footnotes.

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted**

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, which requires additional information about certain expense categories in the notes to financial statements. This ASU is effective for public companies with annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt this guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027. We are evaluating the effects adoption of this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.

---

The following table presents our available-for-sale securities grouped by asset type:

---

| | | | | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Fair Value<br>Hierarchy<br>Level** | **June 30, 2025** | **June 30, 2025** | **June 30, 2025** | **June 30, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** | **December 31, 2024** | **December 31, 2024** | **December 31, 2024** |

---

We estimate the fair value of marketable securities classified as Level 1 using quoted market prices obtained from a commercial pricing service for these or identical investments. We estimate the fair value of marketable securities classified as Level 2 using inputs that may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes and issuer spreads.

We periodically review our debt securities to determine if any of our investments is impaired due to the issuer's poor credit or other reasons. If the fair value of our investment is less than our amortized cost, we evaluate quantitative and subjective factors – including, but not limited to, the nature of the security, changes in credit ratings and analyst reports concerning the security's issuer and industry, and interest rate fluctuations and general market conditions – to determine whether an allowance for credit losses is appropriate.

None of our investments, including those with unrealized losses, are impaired. Unrealized losses on our investments are due to interest rate fluctuations. It is unlikely that we will sell any investments with significant unrealized losses before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. Accordingly, we have not recorded an allowance for credit losses for these investments.

We classified accrued interest on our marketable securities of $4.1 million as of each of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as prepaid and other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2025, all of our long-term marketable securities had original maturities of no more than 24 months and all of our marketable securities classified as short-term have maturities of less than one year. The weighted-average maturity of our short-term and long-term marketable securities was nine months. As of June 30, 2025, our long-term marketable securities had remaining maturities between 13 months and 21 months. None of our marketable securities changed from one fair value hierarchy to another during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

**4. Commitments and Contingencies**

There have been no material changes in our obligations under contractual agreements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

------

In the ordinary course of business, we may be subject to legal claims and regulatory actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial position. We assess our potential liability in such situations by analyzing potential outcomes under various litigation, regulatory and settlement strategies. If we determine a loss is probable and its amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue an amount equal to the estimated loss.

*Melucci Litigation and Settlement*

On March 14, 2019, a purported securities class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California by Nicholas Melucci (*Melucci v. Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated, et al.*, Case No. 5:19-cv-01372-LHK) (the "Melucci litigation"). The complaint named us and certain of our executive officers as defendants asserting violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and alleges that the defendants made false and materially misleading statements and failed to disclose adverse facts about our business, operations and prospects. The complaint asserts a putative class period extending from August 2, 2017 to February 5, 2019 and seeks unspecified monetary relief, interest and attorneys' fees. On October 7, 2019, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff and lead counsel. The lead plaintiff's consolidated complaint was filed on December 6, 2019.

On February 8, 2023, we reached an agreement in principle (the "Proposed Settlement") to resolve all claims in the Melucci litigation. Under the Proposed Settlement, we agreed to make a one-time payment of $14.0 million. In connection with the Proposed Settlement, we recorded a settlement expense of $14.0 million and corresponding insurance recovery of $14.0 million in operating expenses on our consolidated statement of income in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Court granted preliminary approval of the Proposed Settlement on January 4, 2024, following which we paid $14.0 million into escrow, which our insurers reimbursed us in full. On September 6, 2024, Judge Donato approved the Plan of Allocation for payment of the settlement funds to eligible members of the class of plaintiffs. This matter is closed.

To date, we have recorded no losses and no provision for a loss contingency with respect to any matter. For further information about our ongoing legal matters, see *Part II. Item 1, Legal Proceedings.*

**5. Leases**

In April 2024, we entered into a six-year sublease (the "Sublease") with Zuora, Inc. for office space located at 101 Redwood Shores Parkway, Redwood City, California, effective from July 1, 2024. The leased property became our new headquarters effective August 1, 2024. The portion of the premises subject to the Sublease is 50,632 rentable square feet. The Sublease commenced on June 1, 2024 due to early access rights and will end on June 30, 2030. We are obligated to pay a base rent of an average of $1.5 million annually over the term of the lease. As a result of the agreement, we recorded a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability related to the leased property based on the present value of future lease payments.

As the operating leases for our facilities do not provide sufficient information to determine the implicit borrowing rate, we calculated the present value of remaining lease payments using a discount rate equal to the interest rate we would pay on a collateralized loan with monthly payments and a term equal to the monthly payments and remaining term of our lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets also include any rent paid prior to the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. We recognize operating lease payments as expenses using the straight-line method over the term of the lease.

Operating lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, which include variable lease costs of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, primarily related to common area maintenance and other administrative expenses. In the comparable periods in 2024, operating lease expense was $0.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Supplemental information related to operating leases was as follows (in thousands, except weighted average amounts):

---

| Weighted-average remaining lease term |  |  | 60 months | 72 months |
| Weighted-average discount rate |  |  | 8.5% | 8.5% |

| Total operating lease payments | 8114 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Less imputed interest | (1509) |
| Present value of operating lease liabilities | $6605 |

**6. Stockholders' Equity**

***Treasury Stock***

In January 2024, our Board of Directors approved a program authorizing the repurchase of up to $200 million of our common stock (the "Stock Repurchase Program"). Purchases under this program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and amount of any repurchases will be determined based on market conditions, our stock price and other factors. The program does not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we purchased 1.5 million and 2.0 million shares, respectively, of our common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program in open market transactions at an average price of $69.53 and $65.82 per share, respectively, for aggregate purchase prices of $103.0 million and $130.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, $53.9 million of the current authorization remained available for the repurchase of shares of our common stock.

We recorded purchased shares as treasury stock on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at cost. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had 35.2 million and 32.6 million treasury shares outstanding, respectively.

***Incentive Award Plan***

We have one equity award plan – the Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated 2024 Incentive Award Plan (the "2024 Plan").

***Stock Options***

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we issued 0.8 million and 2.0 million, respectively, shares of our common stock upon the exercise of stock options. Some option holders exercised their options on a "net exercise" basis, pursuant to which they surrendered to us, and we purchased from them, at the current market price, shares equal in value to the associated exercise price and tax withholding obligations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we purchased 0.2 million and 0.5 million shares, respectively, in connection with option net exercises and paid $7.6 million and $20.5 million, respectively, to satisfy associated tax withholding obligations.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we issued 0.5 million and 0.8 million, respectively, shares of our common stock upon the exercise of stock options. Some option holders exercised their options on a "net exercise" basis, pursuant to which they surrendered to us, and we purchased from them, at the then current market price, shares equal in value to the associated exercise price and tax withholding obligations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we purchased 0.2 million and 0.3 million shares, respectively, in connection with option net exercises and paid $0.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, to satisfy associated tax withholding obligations.

***Restricted Stock Awards ("RSAs")***

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we granted employees 0.3 million and 0.8 million RSAs, respectively, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $73.53 and $64.95 per share, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we granted employees 0.2 million and 0.6 million RSAs, respectively, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $28.24 and $24.89 per share, respectively. RSAs include voting and dividend rights and are therefore "participating" shares for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted net income per share. See "Note 7" below.

------

***Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP")***

Our ESPP allows employees to set aside, by means of payroll deductions, up to ten percent of their annual compensation for the purchase of our common stock. Shares are issued to participating employees from the 2024 Plan on March 1st, June 1st, September 1st and December 1st (or, if those dates fall on holidays or weekends, on the first business day thereafter) at the then-current fair market value of our stock, as determined at the close of trading on those days.

For each purchased share, the participating employee receives one matching share, also issued from the 2024 Plan, if certain conditions are met. There is no vesting requirement for shares issued pursuant to an employee's ESPP purchase. The matching share is granted in the form of an RSA that will vest on the one-year anniversary of the ESPP purchase date, net of applicable tax withholding. The RSA's vesting condition is that the employee hold the corresponding share purchased under the ESPP for one year after the purchase date. Shares purchased pursuant to the ESPP and any matching shares may be held, sold or transferred in the employee's sole discretion.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had a liability of $3.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation related to RSAs granted in connection with our ESPP in "Accrued and other liabilities" on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

***Equity Awards Outstanding***

As of June 30, 2025, we had 25.5 million stock options, 1.6 million RSAs and less than 0.1 million restricted stock units ("RSUs") outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, we had 24.7 million stock options, 1.2 million RSAs and less than 0.1 million RSUs outstanding.

***Stock-based Compensation***

The following table summarizes our stock-based compensation by financial statement classification:

| Total stock-based compensation | $19130 | $15290 | $41104 | $28584 |

---

**7. Net Income Per Share**

We compute our basic and diluted net income per share in conformity with the two-class method required for companies with participating shares. Under the two-class method, net income is determined by allocating net income between common stock and unvested RSAs. We compute basic net income per share by dividing our net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We compute diluted net income per share by dividing our net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including potentially dilutive stock options and unvested RSUs, less unvested RSAs. We use the treasury stock method to determine the number of dilutive shares of common stock resulting from stock options and unvested RSUs.

We excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share, on a weighted-average basis, 2.7 million and 2.0 million stock options outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and 9.5 million and 9.8 million stock options and unvested RSUs outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, because including them would have reduced dilution.

**8. Income Taxes**

We recorded an income tax benefit of $3.5 million and $14.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to an income tax expense of $6.1 million and $13.3 million for the comparable periods in 2024. The decreases in income tax expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily due to increased stock compensation deductions and decreases in year-to-date pretax income.

Our effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate due to state income taxes and the non-deductible portion of our stock-based compensation, which increased our tax expense, offset by research and development credits and the excess tax deduction arising from the exercise of employee stock options, which reduced our taxable income.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, unrecognized tax benefits increased by $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Each quarter, we assess the likelihood that we will generate sufficient taxable income to use our federal and state deferred tax assets. Except for the valuation allowances that offset the value of our California net deferred tax assets, we have determined that it is more likely than not we will realize the benefit related to all other deferred tax assets. To the extent we increase a valuation allowance, we will include an expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income in the period in which such determination is made.

On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). Included in this legislation are provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of domestic United States research and development expenses, immediate expensing of certain capital expenditures, and other changes to the U.S. taxation of profits from foreign operations. We expect the OBBBA to decrease our current income taxes payable and deferred tax asset balances in the third and fourth quarters of 2025, primarily because it will allow us to immediately recognize the expense of research and development activities performed in the United States. We continue to evaluate the OBBBA's impact.

**ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

*The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition and is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to financial statements, risk factors and other disclosures included in this Form 10-Q. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP").*

*We make statements in this section that are "forward-looking" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For a complete discussion of such statements and the potential risks and uncertainties that may affect their accuracy, see the "Risk Factors," "Overview" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" sections of this Form 10-Q.*

**Overview**

We are a commercial-stage company engaged in the discovery and development of medications to treat severe endocrinologic, oncologic, metabolic and neurologic disorders by modulating the effects of the hormone cortisol. Since 2012, we have marketed Korlym in the United States for the treatment of patients suffering from hypercortisolism (also known as "Cushing's syndrome"). In June 2024, we made an authorized generic version of Korlym available. Our portfolio of proprietary selective cortisol modulators consists of four structurally distinct series totaling more than 1,000 compounds.

*Hypercortisolism (Cushing's syndrome)*

*Our Products.* We sell Korlym and a generic version of Korlym in the United States (our "Products") using sales representatives to call on physicians caring for patients with hypercortisolism. We also have a field-based force of medical science liaisons. We use a specialty pharmacy and a specialty distributor to distribute our Products and provide logistical support to physicians and patients. Our policy is that no patient with hypercortisolism will be denied access to our Products for financial reasons. To help us achieve that goal, we have patient support programs and donate money to independent charitable foundations that help patients pay for all aspects of their hypercortisolism care, whether or not that care includes taking our Products.

Because most people who suffer from hypercortisolism are undiagnosed or inadequately treated, we have developed and continue to refine and expand programs to educate physicians and patients about screening for hypercortisolism and the role our Products can play in treating patients with the disorder. In 2023 and 2024, we conducted the "CATALYST" study to determine the prevalence of hypercortisolism in patients with difficult-to-control diabetes (defined as HbA1c of 7.5 percent or higher) despite receiving optimum treatment. Of the 1,057 patients enrolled in the first phase of CATALYST, 23.8 percent were found to have hypercortisolism. These patients were offered the chance to enter CATALYST's second phase, in which 136 eligible patients were randomized 2:1 to receive either Korlym or placebo for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint of CATALYST's second phase was a reduction in hemoglobin A1c ("HbA1c") in patients who received Korlym compared to patients who received placebo. CATALYST met this primary endpoint. Patients who received Korlym exhibited a clinically meaningful and statistically significant decrease in HbA1c of 1.47 percent, compared to a decrease of 0.15 percent in patients who received placebo (p-value: < 0.0001). This phase of the trial also met its secondary endpoints. Patients who received Korlym exhibited significantly greater reductions in body weight (5.1 kg; p-value: 0.001) and waist circumference (5.1 cm; p-value: 0.002) than patients who received placebo. The safety profile of Korlym in CATALYST was manageable and consistent with the medication's label: No new side effects or adverse events were identified.

CATALYST's results were published in *Diabetes Care* (Buse et al., April 2025 (first phase) and DeFronzo et al., June 2025 (second phase)), the peer-reviewed journal of the American Diabetes Association.

To determine the prevalence of hypercortisolism in patients with resistant hypertension, we initiated the MOMENTUM trial in March 2025. Resistant hypertension is defined by the American Heart Association as systolic blood pressure greater than 130mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure greater than 80mm Hg despite the use of three or more antihypertensive medications of different classes, including a diuretic. MOMENTUM has a planned enrollment of 1,000 patients at 45 sites in the U.S.

The results of CATALYST and MOMENTUM will help physicians better identify patients with hypercortisolism and determine their optimal treatment.

*Relacorilant.* We are developing our proprietary, selective cortisol modulator, relacorilant, as a treatment for patients with hypercortisolism. Relacorilant shares Korlym's affinity for the glucocorticoid receptor ("GR") but, unlike Korlym, has no affinity for the progesterone receptor ("PR") and so is not the "abortion pill" and does not cause other effects associated with

------

PR affinity, including endometrial thickening and vaginal bleeding. Because relacorilant does not meaningfully increase cortisol levels, it does not cause hypokalemia (low potassium), a potentially serious condition that is a leading cause of patients stopping treatment with Korlym. Forty-four percent of patients in Korlym's pivotal trial experienced hypokalemia. Unlike all other medications used to treat hypercortisolism, relacorilant does not prolong the heart's QT interval, a potentially deadly off-target effect.

In December 2024, we submitted a New Drug Application ("NDA") to the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") seeking approval to market relacorilant as a treatment for patients with endogenous hypercortisolism. In March 2025, the FDA accepted the NDA for filing and assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act target action date of December 30, 2025. The NDA is based on positive results from our pivotal GRACE trial, with confirmatory evidence from our Phase 3 GRADIENT trial, our Phase 3 long-term extension study and our Phase 2 study. Patients in these trials exhibited clinically meaningful improvements in a wide range of hypercortisolism signs and symptoms, including hypertension, glucose control, weight and body composition. Relacorilant has been well-tolerated in all of its trials. Notably, patients did not experience some of the serious adverse events that can arise in patients taking Korlym or other currently approved treatments.

GRACE had two-parts. The first, open-label phase enrolled 152 patients with any etiology of hypercortisolism. Each patient received relacorilant for 22 weeks. Patients who exhibited pre-specified improvements in either hypertension, hyperglycemia or both symptoms were eligible to proceed to GRACE's second, double-blind, randomized withdrawal phase, in which half of the patients continued to receive relacorilant and half received placebo for 12 weeks. GRACE's primary endpoint was the number of patients in the relacorilant group who lost blood pressure control compared to the number who lost blood pressure control in the placebo group.

In the open-label phase, patients experienced clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements in a wide-array of hypercortisolism signs and symptoms, including hypertension, hyperglycemia, weight, waist circumference, fat and lean body mass, cognition and Cushing's Quality of Life score. Rapid and sustained improvements in systolic blood pressure ("SBP") and diastolic blood pressure ("DBP") were observed in all patients with hypertension, with an improvement in mean SBP of 7.9 mm Hg and mean DBP of 5.4 mm Hg at 22 weeks (p-values: <0.0001). During the open-label phase, 63 percent of patients with hypertension met the study's response criteria. The improvements were even greater in the patients with hypertension who entered the randomized withdrawal phase, with reductions in SBP of 12.6 mm Hg and DBP of 8.3 mm Hg (p-values: <0.0001). To ensure accuracy, hypertension was measured by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring ("ABPM").

Glucose metabolism was measured by several diagnostic tests, including the oral glucose tolerance test (glucose area under the curve or AUCglucose), HbA1c and fasting glucose. In the open-label phase, clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements in glucose metabolism were observed in patients with diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance (i.e., pre-diabetes), with reductions in AUCglucose of 3.3 h\*mmol/L, HbA1c of 0.3 percent and fasting glucose of 12.4 mg/dL at 22 weeks (p-values: <0.0001, 0.03, 0.03, respectively). During the open-label phase, 50 percent of patients with hyperglycemia met the study's response criteria. Patients with hyperglycemia who entered the randomized withdrawal phase exhibited more pronounced improvements, with reductions in AUCglucose of 6.2 h\*mmol/L, HbA1c of 0.7 percent and fasting glucose of 25.2 mg/dL at 22 weeks (p-values: <0.0001, <0.0001, 0.006, respectively).

GRACE met its primary endpoint. Patients with hypertension who were switched to placebo in the randomized withdrawal phase were significantly more likely to lose blood pressure control than were patients who continued to receive relacorilant (odds ratio: 0.17; p-value: 0.02). Patients who continued to receive relacorilant also maintained their improvements in hyperglycemia, waist circumference, fat and lean tissue mass, while patients who received placebo experienced a significant worsening of hypercortisolism signs and symptoms.

Our Phase 3 GRADIENT study enrolled patients with hypercortisolism caused by adrenal adenomas or adrenal hyperplasia. These patients have a more gradual decline than patients with other etiologies of hypercortisolism, although their health outcomes are ultimately poor. GRADIENT enrolled 137 patients with hypercortisolism and either hypertension, hyperglycemia or both. Patients were randomized on a double-blind basis 1:1 to receive either relacorilant or placebo for 22 weeks. The trial's primary endpoint was the improvement compared to placebo in systolic blood pressure with glycemic control, weight and body composition as secondary endpoints.

Patients in GRADIENT who received relacorilant exhibited clinically meaningful improvements in a wide array of hypercortisolism's signs and symptoms, including hypertension, hyperglycemia, weight and body composition, while patients who received placebo did not.

GRADIENT patients with hypertension who received relacorilant experienced a reduction in systolic blood pressure of 6.6 mm Hg (p-value 0.012) compared to baseline. The reduction in patients who received placebo was 2.1 mm Hg (p-value: ns) compared to baseline. The comparison between those who received relacorilant and placebo was not statistically significant.

------

During the study, five patients who received placebo required rescue therapy with anti-hypertension medications, compared to one patient who received relacorilant. To ensure accuracy, hypertension was measured by 24-hour ABPM.

GRADIENT patients with hyperglycemia who received relacorilant experienced clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements in glucose metabolism, including fasting glucose (placebo-adjusted reduction of 22.2 mg/dL; p-value 0.002), area under the curve of the oral glucose tolerance test (placebo-adjusted reduction of 2.6 h\*mmol/L; p-value 0.046) and HbA1c (placebo-adjusted reduction of 0.3 percent; p-value 0.019), compared to those who received placebo. They also experienced clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements in body weight (placebo-adjusted reduction of 3.9 kg; p-value: 0.0001) and visceral adipose fat mass and volume (p-values: 0.018 and 0.016, respectively), compared to patients who received placebo.

Relacorilant was well-tolerated in GRADIENT, with side effects consistent with its other clinical trials. The most common adverse events were mild-to-moderate nausea, edema, pain in the extremities and back, and fatigue – all symptoms associated with the "cortisol withdrawal" many patients experience when cortisol activity reverts to a more normal level, following surgery or the start of medical therapy for hypercortisolism. Importantly, there were no relacorilant-induced instances of hypokalemia, endometrial hypertrophy or drug-induced vaginal bleeding, adrenal insufficiency or QT prolongation.

Patients who completed our GRACE, GRADIENT and Phase 2 trials were eligible to enter our open-label, long-term extension study. Of the 116 patients who chose to do so, the duration of the treatment has been up to six years. In December 2024, we announced that patients who remained in the study for 24 months exhibited, at that time, further clinically meaningful and statistically significant reductions in systolic (10.0 mm Hg; p-value: 0.012) and diastolic blood pressure (7.3 mm Hg; p-value: 0.016), compared to their blood pressure at entry into the long-term extension study. These patients had also maintained response in other cardiometabolic measures, such as glycemic control and body weight. Consistent with its known safety profile, relacorilant was well-tolerated.

The FDA and the European Commission ("EC") have designated relacorilant as an orphan drug for the treatment of hypercortisolism. In the United States, relacorilant's orphan designation confers tax credits, reduced regulatory fees and, provided we obtain approval for the treatment of patients with hypercortisolism, seven years of exclusive marketing rights. Benefits of orphan drug designation by the EC are similar, but also include protocol assistance from the European Medicines Agency ("EMA"), access to the centralized marketing authorization procedure in the European Union ("EU") and, if we obtain approval, ten years of exclusive marketing rights in the EU for the treatment of patients with hypercortisolism.

*Oncology*

There is substantial evidence that cortisol activity at the GR reduces the efficacy of certain anti-cancer therapies and that modulating cortisol's activity may help anti-cancer treatments achieve their intended effect. In some cancers, cortisol retards cellular apoptosis – the tumor-killing effect many treatments are meant to stimulate. In other cancers, cortisol activity promotes tumor growth. Cortisol also suppresses the body's immune response; activating – not suppressing – the immune system is beneficial in fighting certain cancers. Many types of solid tumors express the GR and are potential targets for cortisol modulation therapy, among them ovarian, adrenal and prostate cancer.

*Relacorilant in Patients with Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer.* In July 2025, we submitted an NDA to the FDA seeking approval to market relacorilant plus nab-paclitaxel as a treatment for patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. The NDA is based on positive results from our pivotal Phase 3 ROSELLA and Phase 2 trials. Patients in these trials exhibited clinically meaningful improvements in progression free survival ("PFS") and overall survival ("OS"). Relacorilant was well-tolerated and did not increase the safety burden of patients who took it.

ROSELLA enrolled three hundred eighty-one women with recurrent, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer who were randomized 1:1 to receive either 150 mg of relacorilant intermittently in addition to the chemotherapeutic agent nab-paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel monotherapy. Patients enrolled in ROSELLA received prior bevacizumab therapy, which is the approved standard of care for patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Women who have received more than three prior lines of therapy were excluded. ROSELLA has dual primary endpoints – PFS as assessed by blinded independent central review and OS. A study with dual primary endpoints is considered positive if either endpoint is met.

In March 2025, we announced that ROSELLA had met its PFS endpoint. Patients treated with relacorilant in addition to nab-paclitaxel experienced a clinically and statistically significant 30 percent reduction in risk of disease progression compared to patients treated with nab-paclitaxel alone (hazard ratio: 0.70; p-value: 0.008). PFS as assessed by ROSELLA's clinical investigators was also positive (hazard ratio: 0.71; p-value: 0.0030). Although final data with respect to OS are not yet available, an interim analysis of survival data as of the date of the PFS analysis showed that patients who received relacorilant in addition to nab-paclitaxel had exhibited a meaningful 31 percent reduction in risk of death (hazard ratio: 0.69; p-value:

------

0.012), with a median OS of 16.0 months, compared to 11.5 months in patients receiving nab-paclitaxel alone. Both PFS and OS benefits were seen in all clinically relevant subgroups, including those with poor prognoses.

Importantly, relacorilant did not increase the safety burden of patients who took it. Relacorilant was well-tolerated and, when adjusted for duration of treatment, the rate, type and severity of adverse events in patients who received it were similar to those experienced by patients who received nab-paclitaxel alone.

The results from ROSELLA were published in *The Lancet* (Olawaiye et al., June 2025).

ROSELLA's results have been consistent with the positive results of our Phase 2 trial, a 178-patient, controlled, multi-center, trial of relacorilant combined with nab-paclitaxel in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Phase 2 study participants were randomized to one of three treatment arms: 60 women received 150 mg of relacorilant intermittently (the day before, the day of and the day after their weekly nab-paclitaxel infusion) and 58 women received a daily relacorilant dose of 100 mg per day in addition to nab-paclitaxel. Sixty women received nab-paclitaxel alone. The trial's primary endpoint was PFS.

Patients in both of the relacorilant plus nab-paclitaxel treatment arms of the Phase 2 trial experienced longer PFS than did the patients who received nab-paclitaxel alone. Patients who received a higher dose of relacorilant intermittently exhibited a statistically significant improvement in median PFS (5.6 months versus 3.8 months, hazard ratio: 0.66; p-value: 0.038). Patients who received a lower dose of relacorilant daily exhibited a median PFS that was 1.5 months longer than did the patients who received nab-paclitaxel alone (5.3 months versus 3.8 months, hazard ratio: 0.83; p-value: not significant). Patients who received relacorilant intermittently also had a longer median duration of response ("DoR") (5.6 months versus 3.7 months, hazard ratio: 0.36; p-value: 0.006) compared to those who received nab-paclitaxel alone. Patients who received relacorilant intermittently also lived longer (median OS: 13.9 months versus 12.2 months, hazard ratio: 0.67; p-value: 0.066) compared to those who received nab-paclitaxel alone.

As was the case in ROSELLA, the addition of relacorilant to treatment with nab-paclitaxel did not increase the adverse event burden for patients. Safety and tolerability of relacorilant and nab-paclitaxel combination treatment were comparable to the safety and tolerability of nab-paclitaxel monotherapy.

The final analysis from our Phase 2 trial was published in the *Journal of Clinical Oncology* (Colombo et al., 2023), the premiere journal of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

In April 2025, we initiated a Phase 2 trial ("BELLA") of relacorilant plus nab-paclitaxel and bevacizumab evaluating efficacy and safety in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. BELLA is a single-arm, open-label trial with a planned enrollment of 90 patients.

The EC has designated relacorilant as an orphan drug for the treatment of ovarian cancer.

*Relacorilant in Patients with Adrenal Cancer with Cortisol Excess.* We have completed an open-label, Phase 1b trial of relacorilant plus the PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab in 14 patients with metastatic or unresectable adrenal cancer whose tumors produce cortisol. Patients with this form of adrenal cancer virtually never respond to immunotherapy and their disease progresses very rapidly. Our trial sought to test whether adding relacorilant to pembrolizumab therapy would reduce cortisol-activated immune suppression sufficiently to help the patient's immune system reduce or eradicate the patient's tumors while also reducing the symptoms of hypercortisolism caused by the tumors' hypersecretion of cortisol. Although patients exhibited significant improvements in their symptoms of hypercortisolism, such as reductions in hypertension and hyperglycemia, their tumor progression did not slow. The combination of relacorilant with pembrolizumab was well-tolerated. We are evaluating next steps to better understand the role cortisol modulation may play in combination with immunotherapies directed to other tumor types and earlier stages of cancer.

*Relacorilant in Patients with Prostate Cancer*. Androgen deprivation is the standard treatment for prostate cancer because androgens stimulate prostate tumor growth. Prostate cancer tumors eventually escape androgen deprivation therapy; one of the prime reasons is that these tumors begin to be stimulated by cortisol's activity. Combining a cortisol modulator with an androgen modulator may block this escape route. Our collaborators at the University of Chicago have initiated a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial of relacorilant plus enzalutamide in patients with prostate cancer, pre-prostatectomy. We are providing relacorilant and placebo for the study. Patents we have licensed from the University of Chicago cover the use of relacorilant combined with anticancer agents, including enzalutamide, to treat patients with this disease.

*Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ("ALS"*)

ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a devastating neuromuscular illness. Our selective cortisol modulator dazucorilant improved motor performance and reduced neuroinflammation and muscular atrophy in an animal model of ALS.

------

Following these compelling results, we initiated a Phase 2 trial ("DAZALS") of dazucorilant in patients with ALS. Two hundred forty-nine patients were randomized on a double-blind basis 1:1:1 to receive either 150 mg of dazucorilant, 300 mg of dazucorilant or placebo daily for 24 weeks. Upon completion of the trial, patients were eligible to enter an open-label, long-term extension study, in which they receive 300 mg of dazucorilant for up to 132 weeks.

DAZALS did not meet its primary endpoint, which was the change from baseline in the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) in patients who received dazucorilant compared to those who received placebo. However, a statistically significant reduction in early death was observed at week 24 of the study. An exploratory analysis at the one-year mark found that this benefit continued. Patients who were randomized to receive 300 mg of dazucorilant from the start of DAZALS had an 84 percent reduction in risk of death, compared to patients who received only placebo, with a hazard ratio of 0.16 (p-value: 0.0009). A similar survival benefit was observed in an exploratory analysis of patients who received 300 mg of dazucorilant for greater than 24 weeks, either in the treatment period or in the extension study, compared to patients who received either placebo or 150 mg of dazucorilant for 24 weeks and did not receive dazucorilant in the extension study (hazard ratio: 0.36; p-value 0.02).

Dazucorilant has demonstrated a manageable safety profile, with 92 percent of adverse events being mild to moderate in severity. The frequency of severe and serious adverse events in patients who received dazucorilant was similar to those who received placebo. Mild to moderate, dose-related, transient abdominal pain was the most common adverse effect. The open-label, long-term extension study, which enrolled 118 patients, is continuing.

The FDA has granted dazucorilant Fast Track Designation and orphan drug status for the treatment of ALS in the United States.

*Metabolic Diseases*

*Liver Disease.* Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis ("MASH") is an advanced form of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease that afflicts millions of patients and is a leading cause of liver-related mortality. Our Phase 1b trial of the selective cortisol modulator miricorilant as a potential treatment for MASH identified a dosing regimen that reduced liver fat, improved liver health and key metabolic and lipid measures and was well-tolerated. Following these compelling results, we initiated a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2b trial ("MONARCH") of miricorilant in patients with MASH in October 2023. MONARCH has two patient cohorts. Cohort A is enrolling patients with biopsy-confirmed MASH, randomized 2:1 to receive either 100 mg of miricorilant twice weekly or placebo for 48 weeks. Screening for Cohort A has closed. The primary endpoint of Cohort A is reduction in liver fat, with MASH resolution and fibrosis improvement being key secondary endpoints. Cohort B has completed enrollment of 93 patients with presumed MASH, randomized 2:1 to receive either 100 mg of miricorilant twice weekly for 6 weeks and then 200 mg of miricorilant twice weekly for 18 weeks or placebo for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint of Cohort B is reduction in liver fat.

*Development of Other Selective Cortisol Modulators*

We continue to create new selective cortisol modulators, the most promising of which we advance towards the clinic.

*Inflation Reduction Act of 2022*

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") was enacted on August 16, 2022. The IRA includes provisions requiring manufacturers to pay a rebate to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") if the price of a Medicare Part B or Part D drug increases faster than the rate of inflation. In addition, the IRA shifts a portion of the Medicare beneficiary costs formerly borne by the government and beneficiaries to manufacturers in the form of limitations on price increases and rebates paid to the government. We anticipate this provision will limit the revenue we receive from Medicare patients and may materially reduce our profits in 2026 and beyond. The IRA permits CMS to negotiate prices for certain high-expenditure Medicare Part B or Part D drugs.

The IRA also imposes a one percent excise tax on certain share repurchases and introduces a 15 percent corporate alternative minimum tax on adjusted financial statement income. The corporate alternative minimum tax became effective for us on January 1, 2024. We do not expect either of these provisions to significantly affect our consolidated financial statements.

Please see the risk factor under Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, "*New laws, government regulations, or changes to existing laws and regulations could make it difficult or impossible for us to obtain acceptable prices or adequate insurance coverage and reimbursement for our Products, which would adversely affect our results of operations and financial position*."

**Results of Operations**

*Net Product Revenue* – Net product revenue is gross product revenue from sales to our customers less deductions for estimated government rebates and chargebacks, patient co-pay assistance program, discounts provided to our specialty distributor for prompt payment and reserves for expected returns.

Net product revenue was $194.4 million and $351.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $163.8 million and $310.6 million for the comparable periods in 2024. The increases were driven by 49.0 percent and 36.8 percent increases in sales volume, partially offset by 20.3 percent and 17.3 percent decreases in average price due to higher sales volume from our authorized generic version of Korlym in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

*Cost of sales* – Cost of sales includes the cost of the active pharmaceutical ingredient ("API"), tableting, packaging, personnel, overhead, stability testing and distribution.

Cost of sales was $3.4 million and $5.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $2.5 million and $5.1 million for the comparable periods in 2024. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 1.8 percent and 1.7 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 1.5 percent and 1.6 percent for the comparable periods in 2024, respectively. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to increased manufacturing and distribution costs. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was due to increased manufacturing and distribution costs, offset by a one-time $0.5 million write-off of API that was scrapped during the manufacturing phase in the three months ended March 31, 2024, which did not recur in 2025.

*Research and development expense* – Research and development expense includes the cost of (1) recruiting and compensating development personnel, (2) clinical trials, (3) manufacturing investigational drug product, (4) preclinical studies, (5) drug discovery research and (6) the development of new drug formulations and manufacturing processes.

Research and development expense was $60.5 million and $121.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $58.7 million and $117.3 million for the comparable periods in 2024. The increases were primarily due to increased employee compensation expenses and expenses related to the advancement of our development programs, partially offset by decreased expenses related to development programs that are nearing completion.

---

It is difficult to predict the timing and cost of development activities, which are subject to many uncertainties and risks, including inconclusive or negative results, slow patient enrollment, adverse side effects and difficulties in the formulation or manufacture of study drugs and lack of drug-candidate efficacy. In addition, clinical development is subject to government oversight and regulations that may change without notice. We expect our research and development expense to be higher in 2025 than in 2024 as our clinical programs advance and we initiate new clinical trials. Research and development spending in future years will depend on the outcome of our pre-clinical and clinical trials and our development plans.

*Selling, general and administrative expense* – Selling, general and administrative expense includes (1) compensation of employees, consultants and contractors engaged in commercial and administrative activities, (2) the cost of vendors supporting commercial activities and (3) legal and accounting fees.

------

Selling, general and administrative expense was $103.9 million and $194.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $66.9 million and $123.2 million for the comparable periods in 2024. The increases were primarily due to increased employee compensation expenses and sales and marketing activities to support commercialization of our existing and potential future products.

We expect our selling, general and administrative expense to be higher in 2025 than in 2024 due to increased commercial and administrative activities to support our increased sales and marketing efforts.

*Interest and other income* - Interest and other income was $5.0 million and $11.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $6.0 million and $11.5 million for the comparable periods in 2024 and consisted primarily of interest income from marketable securities. The decreases were due to market-wide decreases in interest rates.

*Income tax benefit (expense)* - Income tax benefit was $3.5 million and $14.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $6.1 million and $13.3 million for the comparable periods in 2024. The decreases in income tax expense were primarily due to increased stock compensation deductions and decreases in year-to-date pretax income.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Since 2015, we have relied on revenues from the sale of our Products to fund our operations.

Based on our current plans and expectations, we expect to fund our operations and planned research and development activities over the next 12 months and beyond without needing to raise additional funds, although we may choose to raise additional funds for other reasons. If we were to raise funds, equity financing would be dilutive, debt financing could involve restrictive covenants and funds raised through collaborations with other companies may require us to relinquish certain rights in our product candidates.

As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $515.0 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $102.7 million and marketable securities of $412.3 million, compared to cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $603.2 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $127.7 million and marketable securities of $475.5 million as of December 31, 2024.

The cash in our bank accounts and our marketable securities could be reduced or our access to them restricted if the financial institutions holding them were to fail or severely adverse conditions were to arise in the markets for public or private debt securities. We have never experienced a material lack of access to cash or material realized losses.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $49.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $64.9 million for the comparable period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower net income resulting from higher operating expenses to support increased sales and marketing activities.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $67.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $69.2 million for the comparable period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to a higher allocation of cash proceeds from maturities of marketable securities towards cash equivalents to purchase shares in connection with our Stock Repurchase Program during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Net cash used in financing activities was $142.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.7 million for the comparable period in 2024. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, we spent $158.7 million acquiring shares of our common stock, comprised of $130.5 million pursuant to our Stock Repurchase Program, $7.7 million to satisfy tax withholding requirements from vesting of restricted stock grants and $20.5 million acquiring shares of our common stock in connection with the net exercise of employee and director stock options, offset by $5.0 million received in connection with our ESPP and $11.0 million net cash received from the exercise of stock options. In the comparable period in 2024, we spent $7.6 million acquiring shares of our common stock, comprised of $4.0 million pursuant to our Stock Repurchase Program, $2.0 million to satisfy tax withholding requirements from vesting of restricted stock grants and $1.6 million acquiring shares of our common stock in connection with the net exercise of employee and director stock options, offset by $2.6 million received in connection with our ESPP and $2.3 million net cash received from the exercise of stock options.

As of June 30, 2025, we had retained earnings of $599.4 million.

**Contractual Obligations and Commitments**

Our contractual payment obligations and purchase commitments are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our payment obligations and purchase commitments did not change materially during the six months ended June 30, 2025. See Note 4 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding our purchase commitments.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amount of assets, liabilities and expenses we report. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions we believe to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from our estimates. Our significant accounting policies are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. There were no changes that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our critical accounting policies and estimates.

**ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

Our market risks as of June 30, 2025 are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The market risks associated with our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, which consist entirely of debt instruments with original maturities of less than 24 months, did not change materially during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

**ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

***Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures***. As of June 30, 2025, our management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the officers who certify our financial reports and to the members of the Company's senior management and board of directors as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure at the reasonable assurance level.

***Changes in internal control over financial reporting***. Our Chief Financial Officer and other members of management evaluated the changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and concluded that there was no change during the quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II. OTHER INFORMATION**

**ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

*Teva Patent Litigation*

In February 2018, we received a Paragraph IV Notice Letter advising that Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. ("Teva") had submitted an Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA") to the FDA seeking authorization to manufacture and sell a generic version of Korlym prior to the expiration of patents related to Korlym that are listed in the FDA's Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (the "Orange Book"). In March 2018, we filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey ("D.N.J.") against Teva for infringement of our patents. In August 2020, Teva received final approval from the FDA for its ANDA in accordance with the Hatch-Waxman Act. And, in November 2020, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("PTAB") issued a decision upholding the validity of U.S. Patent No. 10,195,214 (the "'214 patent") in its entirety, which decision the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld.

The patents currently at issue in the D.N.J. matter are the ʼ214 patent and U.S. Patent No. 10,842,800 (the "'800 patent"). Trial was held in September 2023, before Judge Renee Marie Bumb. On December 29, 2023, Judge Bumb ruled that Teva's proposed generic product would not infringe either the '214 or '800 patent. Teva launched its generic product in January 2024. We have appealed the District Court's ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which heard oral argument in the matter on July 7, 2025. We cannot predict when the Court will issue its opinion.

We will vigorously enforce our intellectual property rights relating to Korlym but cannot predict the outcome of these matters.

*Antitrust Litigation*

On June 13, 2024, Teva filed a complaint in the Northern District of California, captioned *Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. v. Corcept Therapeutics, Inc., et al.* (N.D. Cal.), Case No. 3:24-cv-03567-BLF (the "Teva Antitrust Litigation"). This lawsuit names Corcept and Optime Care, Inc. ("Optime"), our single specialty pharmacy that dispenses Korlym and the authorized generic version of Korlym and performs related pharmacy and patient support services, as defendants. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that Corcept has violated federal and state laws related to antitrust and unfair business practices. On September 13, 2024, Teva filed a First Amended Complaint, which Corcept and Optime moved to dismiss. We cannot predict when the District Court will rule on this motion.

On February 10, 2025, several named plaintiffs filed a complaint against Corcept in the Alameda County Superior Court for the State of California, captioned, *Aetna Inc., Health Care Service Corporation, Humana Inc. and Molina Healthcare Inc. vs. Corcept Therapeutics, Inc*., Case No. 25CV110493 (the "Aetna Litigation"). This lawsuit names Corcept as the sole defendant and includes allegations substantially similar to those made in the Teva Antitrust Litigation. On March 17, 2025, Corcept filed a cross-complaint against the plaintiffs in the Aetna Litigation and a notice to remove this lawsuit from state court to federal court. The lawsuit is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (Case No. 25-cv-2590) before the same judge presiding over the Teva Antitrust Litigation. The state court proceedings in the Aetna Litigation are currently stayed; however, the plaintiffs have filed a motion to remand the case back to the state court. The federal court has scheduled a hearing on the plaintiffs' motion to remand the case for August 20, 2025.

*Other Litigation*

In March 2019, a purported securities class action complaint was filed against us and certain of our executive officers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California by Nicholas Melucci (*Melucci v. Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated, et al.*, Case No. 5:19-cv-01372-LHK) (the "Melucci Litigation"). As previously disclosed, we finalized a settlement of the Melucci Litigation in 2024, which required us to make a one-time payment of $14 million for which our insurers reimbursed us in full.

In September 2019, a purported shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware by Lauren Williams, captioned *Lauren Williams v. G. Leonard Baker, et al.*, Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-01830. A second nearly identical lawsuit was filed in December 2019 in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware by Jeweltex Pension Plan, captioned *Jeweltex Pension Plan v. James N. Wilson, et al.*, Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-02308. These complaints named the then-existing members of our board of directors, our Chief Executive Officer and our current Chief Business Officer as defendants, and Corcept as a nominal defendant. The complaints allege breach of fiduciary duty, violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, insider selling, misappropriation of insider information and waste of corporate assets and seek damages in an amount to be proved at trial. These actions had been stayed pending resolution of the Melucci Litigation. On June 21, 2024, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware consolidated the Williams

------

and Jeweltex cases into one case but later stayed these cases pending the outcome of a separate derivative case filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery, as discussed below.

In January 2022, a purported shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery by Joel B. Ritchie, captioned *Joel B. Ritchie v. G. Leonard Baker, et al.*, Case No. 2022-0102-SG. The complaint named certain members of our Board of Directors, our Chief Executive Officer, our current Chief Business Officer and our President of Corcept Endocrinology as defendants, and Corcept as nominal defendant. The complaint alleged a single cause of action for breach of fiduciary duty and sought unspecified damages. In May 2024, we filed a motion to dismiss this complaint, which the Court granted on July 22, 2025.

Given the overlapping allegations in these shareholder derivative actions, we and the individual defendants previously filed a One Forum Motion in both the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the Delaware Court of Chancery requesting that the Courts coordinate to determine the jurisdiction (Federal or Chancery Court) in which these matters would first proceed. In response to that motion, the Federal Court stayed proceedings in the Williams and Jeweltex cases until the Chancery Court made its ruling which, as described above, it did in our favor on July 22, 2025. We cannot predict when or how the United States District Court will respond to the Chancery Court's decision.

We will continue to respond vigorously to the above allegations but cannot predict how the United States District Court for the District of Delaware will resolve the Williams and Jeweltex cases considering the dismissal granted by the Delaware Court.

*Records Subpoena*

In November 2021, we received a records subpoena from the United States Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey (the "NJ USAO") pursuant to Section 248 of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") seeking information relating to the sale and promotion of Korlym, our relationships with and payments to health care professionals who can prescribe or recommend Korlym and prior authorizations and reimbursement for Korlym. The NJ USAO has informed us that it is investigating whether any criminal or civil violations by us occurred in connection with the matters referenced in the subpoena. It has also informed us that it does not currently consider us a defendant but rather an entity whose conduct is within the scope of the government's investigation.

In addition to the above-described matters, we are involved from time-to-time in other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Although the outcome of any such matters and the amount, if any, of our liability with respect to them cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that they will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial position.

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS**

*Investing in our common stock involves significant risks. Before investing, carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this quarterly report, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. The risks and uncertainties described below are the ones we believe may materially affect us. There may be others of which we are unaware that could materially harm our business or financial condition and cause the price of our stock to decline, in which case you could lose all or part of your investment.*

**Summary of Principal Risks**

The following bullet points summarize the principal risks we face, each of which could adversely affect our business, operations and financial results. Below, we have arranged these risks by the part of our business they most directly affect.

**Risks Related to our Commercial Activities**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Failure to generate sufficient revenue from the sale of our Products would harm our financial results and would likely cause our stock price to decline.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The availability of generic versions of Korlym could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial position.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Public perception of mifepristone or legislation limiting or barring its distribution or use for termination of early pregnancy may limit our ability to sell our current Products.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• New laws, government regulations, or changes to existing laws and regulations could make it difficult or impossible for us to obtain acceptable prices or adequate insurance coverage and reimbursement for our Products, which would adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.

------

**Risks Related to our Research and Development Activities**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Vendors perform many of the activities necessary to carry out our clinical trials, including drug product distribution, trial management and oversight and data collection and analysis. Failure of these vendors to perform their duties or meet expected timelines may prevent or delay approval of our product candidates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our efforts to discover, develop and commercialize our product candidates may not succeed. Clinical drug development is lengthy, expensive and often unsuccessful. Results of early studies and trials are often not predictive of later trial results. Failure can occur at any time. Even if we deem that our product candidates' clinical trial results demonstrate safety and efficacy, regulatory authorities may not agree. Failure to obtain or maintain regulatory approvals for our product candidates would prevent us from commercializing them.

**Risks Related to our Intellectual Property**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may not be able to secure, maintain or effectively assert patent protection for the composition, manufacture, or methods of use of our proprietary, selective cortisol modulators and for the use of our Products to treat hypercortisolism. Litigation is slow and expensive and its outcome is uncertain and subject to challenge on appeal.

**Risks Related to our Stock**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The price of our common stock fluctuates widely and is likely to continue to do so. Opportunities for investors to sell shares may be limited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our stock price may decline if our performance does not meet the guidance we have provided to the public, estimates published by research analysts or other investor expectations.

**General Risk Factors**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Actions by the federal government of the United States have created unprecedented legal, governmental, regulatory and economic uncertainty and risks that may adversely affect our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We rely on information technology to conduct our business. A breakdown or breach of our information technology systems or our failure to protect confidential information concerning our business, patients or employees could interrupt the operation of our business and subject us to liability.

**Risk Factors – Discussion**

*The following section discusses the principal risks listed above, as well as other risks we believe to be material.*

**Risks Related to our Commercial Activities**

**Failure to generate sufficient revenue from the sale of our Products would harm our financial results and would likely cause our stock price to decline.**

Our ability to generate revenue and to fund our commercial operations and development programs is dependent on the sale of our Products to treat patients with hypercortisolism. Physicians will prescribe our Products if they determine that they are preferable to other treatments, even if those treatments are not approved for hypercortisolism. Most physicians are inexperienced diagnosing or caring for patients with hypercortisolism and it can be hard to persuade them to identify appropriate patients and treat them with our Products.

Many factors could limit our product revenue, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the preference of physicians or payors for competing treatments for hypercortisolism, including a lower-priced generic version of Korlym and off-label treatments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lack of availability of government or private insurance, the shift of a significant number of patients to Medicaid, which reimburses Korlym at a significantly lower price, or the introduction of government price controls or other price-reducing regulations, such as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, that may significantly limit Medicare reimbursement rates and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") of 2025, which will reduce Medicaid funding significantly;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disruptions in our supply chain due to the imposition of tariffs or other restrictions on trade; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the inability of our pharmacy to dispense our Products in a timely manner.

------

Failure to generate sufficient product revenue could prevent us from fully funding our planned commercial and clinical activities and would likely cause our stock price to decline.

**The availability of generic versions of Korlym could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial position.**

In January 2024, Teva launched a generic version of Korlym. We have sued Teva in Federal District Court with respect to its generic version of Korlym. On December 29, 2023, the Court issued a ruling in that case finding that Teva's generic product would not infringe the patents we have asserted against it. We have appealed this adverse decision to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, but there can be no assurance our appeal will be successful. If Teva's commercial efforts are successful, they may materially harm our results of operations and financial condition, even if our appeal is successful and Teva is required to withdraw its product and pay us damages. We have made available our own generic version of Korlym.

We also have litigation settlements with Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited ("Sun") and Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. ("Hikma") that allow them to begin selling mifepristone, with customary restrictions, provided the FDA has approved their products and Teva's generic product remains commercially available. The availability of generic versions of Korlym from Sun or Hikma could materially harm our results of operations and financial condition, even if our on-going appeal against Teva is successful and Teva, Sun and Hikma were required to withdraw their products and pay us damages. Please see "*Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings*" for additional details.

The availability of generic Korlym could cause our revenue to decline and materially harm our results of operations and financial position, by reducing the number of tablets we sell or lowering their price or both. It may also cause our revenue to be materially less than the public guidance we have provided, which would likely cause the price of our common stock to decline.

Legal action to enforce or defend intellectual property rights is complex, costly and involves significant commitments of management time. Other companies may seek FDA approval to market generic versions of Korlym, in which case we will vigorously protect our intellectual property. However, there can be no assurance our efforts will be successful.

**Public perception of mifepristone or legislation limiting or barring its distribution or use for termination of early pregnancy may limit our ability to sell our current Products.**

The active ingredient in our Products, mifepristone, is approved by the FDA in another drug for the termination of early pregnancy. In 2022, the United States Supreme Court published its decision in the case of *Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization* ("Dobbs"), which overturned *Roe v. Wade*, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that had established a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy, subject to certain limitations. Dobbs has stimulated many states to enact laws restricting the legality of abortion and mifepristone, including during early pregnancy and under specific conditions of use. More laws banning or heavily restricting termination of pregnancy may be adopted and existing laws may be made more restrictive. On June 13, 2024, in a highly publicized case, the Supreme Court ruled against plaintiffs seeking to restrict access to mifepristone for terminating pregnancy, holding that they lacked standing (i.e., the right to sue), thus preserving current access to mifepristone. Because the Supreme Court's decision was made solely on procedural grounds, the ruling does not necessarily foreclose other challenges to the continued availability of mifepristone. The timing and outcome of any subsequent cases, as well as additional legislative changes are uncertain. In addition, heightened public awareness of mifepristone as an abortifacient may draw the attention of hostile state government officials or political activists to our Products – as could additional public debate concerning current or proposed restrictions on the distribution of mifepristone. This may be the case even though (i) our Products are not approved for the termination of pregnancy, (ii) we do not promote them for that use and (iii) we have taken measures to minimize the chance that they will accidentally be prescribed to a pregnant woman.

**New laws, government regulations, or changes to existing laws and regulations could make it difficult or impossible for us to obtain acceptable prices or adequate insurance coverage and reimbursement for our Products, which would adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.**

The commercial success of our Products depends on the availability of acceptable pricing and adequate insurance coverage and reimbursement. Government payers, including Medicare, Medicaid and the Veterans Administration, as well as private insurers and health maintenance organizations, are increasingly attempting to contain healthcare costs by limiting reimbursement for medicines. In many foreign markets, drug prices and the profitability of prescription medications are subject to government control. In the United States, we expect that there will continue to be federal and state proposals for similar controls. Also, the trends toward managed health care in the United States and recent laws and legislation intended to increase the public visibility of drug prices and reduce the cost of government and private insurance programs could significantly influence the purchase of health care services and products and may result in lower prices for our Products. If government or private payers cease to provide adequate and timely coverage, pricing and reimbursement for our Products, physicians may not

------

prescribe the medication and patients may not purchase it, even if it is prescribed, or the price we receive may be reduced, which would reduce our revenue.

In the United States, there have been and continue to be legislative initiatives to contain healthcare costs. The IRA significantly changed the way Medicare pays for prescription drugs. The IRA requires the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to negotiate Medicare prices for selected drugs and biologicals, including both physician-administered products covered under Medicare's Part B benefit and self-administered drugs such as our Products that are covered under the Part D benefit. Each year, the Secretary will select for price negotiation a specified number of negotiation-eligible drugs with the highest total Part B or D expenditures over the preceding 12-month period. To be eligible for price negotiation a drug must have been on the market for at least seven years without generic competition. Orphan drugs indicated for only one rare disease or condition and drugs with less than $200 million in annual Medicare expenditures are exempt from the negotiation program. For the first two years of the program, 2026 and 2027, only Part D drugs are eligible. The Secretary will publish the negotiated price, known as the "Maximum Fair Price" ("MFP"), for each of the selected products. Manufacturers of selected drugs would be required to offer the drug for Medicare recipients at the MFP. Manufacturers who fail to negotiate with the Secretary or offer their drug to Medicare recipients at the MFP can face significant civil money penalties or excise tax liability on sales of that drug. If our Products or any drug we commercialize become eligible for Medicare negotiation, the revenue we generate from sales of those drugs may be significantly reduced.

The IRA also establishes an inflation rebate program that requires manufacturers to pay rebates to the Medicare program if any of the medications they provide Medicare recipients increase in price faster than the rate of inflation. The Part D inflation rebate provision went into effect on October 1, 2022. Although manufacturers are generally familiar with inflation rebates under the Medicaid program, where they have existed for decades, the IRA represents the first time that inflation rebates have been extended to the Medicare program. The inflation rebate provision applies to any medication sold to Medicare recipients, whether or not that medication is subject to Medicare price negotiation.

The IRA shifts a portion of the Medicare beneficiary costs from the government and beneficiaries to manufacturers in the form of limitations on price increases and rebates paid to the government. We anticipate that this provision will limit the revenue we receive from Medicare patients and may materially reduce our revenue and profits in 2026 and beyond.

We make grants to independent charitable foundations that help financially needy patients with their premium, co-pay, and co-insurance obligations with respect to their hypercortisolism treatment, regardless of whether that treatment includes one of our Products. There has been enhanced scrutiny of company-sponsored patient assistance programs, including insurance premium and co-pay assistance programs and donations to third-party charities that provide such assistance. As a result of this scrutiny, these assistance programs and charities may decide to reduce or eliminate entirely the assistance they provide to patients, which could result in fewer patients receiving the financial support they need to cover the cost of their hypercortisolism care, including the cost of medication, which may include one of our Products.

We expect governmental oversight and scrutiny of pharmaceutical companies to increase and that there will be additional attempts to change the healthcare system in ways that could harm our ability to sell our Products and any other drugs we commercialize profitably, including new policies intended to curb healthcare costs, such as federal and state controls on reimbursement for drugs (including under Medicare and commercial health plans), new or increased requirements to pay prescription drug rebates and penalties to government health care programs and policies that require drug companies to disclose and justify the prices they charge.

**We depend on vendors to manufacture the active pharmaceutical ingredient ("API") and capsules or tablets for our commercialized products as well as our product candidates. We also depend on vendors to package our products and dispense them to patients. If our vendors become unable or unwilling to perform these functions and we cannot transfer these activities to other vendors in a timely manner, our business will be harmed.**

In the event any of our vendors fails to perform its contractual obligations to us or is materially impaired in its performance, we may experience disruptions and delays in our ability to deliver our commercialized products to patients or investigational drugs to patients in our clinical trials, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial position.

Our single specialty pharmacy, Optime, dispenses our Products and performs related pharmacy and patient support services, including the collection of payments from insurers representing more than 99 percent of our revenue. If Optime does not adhere to its agreements with payers or does not continue to meet regulatory requirements concerning pharmacy operations, it may not be able to collect on our behalf some or all of the payments due to us. In addition, if Optime has operational difficulties or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under our agreement, we may not be able to dispense our Products in a timely manner to some or all of our patients and this may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial position. Effective April 1, 2024, we extended our agreement with Optime through March 31, 2027,

------

with automatic renewal for successive three-year terms. The agreement is subject to customary termination provisions, including the right of Optime to terminate in the event of a material breach by us that we do not cure in a reasonable period of time after receiving written notice. In addition, we may terminate the agreement for convenience.

The facilities used by our vendors to manufacture and package the API and drug product for our Products and product candidates and distribute them to hospitals, clinics and patients, must be approved by government regulators in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere. We do not control the activities of these vendors, including whether they maintain adequate quality control and hire qualified personnel. We are dependent on them for compliance with the regulatory requirements known as current good manufacturing practices ("cGMPs"), which are subject to change at the regulators' discretion. If our vendors cannot manufacture material that conforms to our specifications and the strict requirements of the FDA or others, they will not be able to maintain regulatory authorizations for their facilities and we could be prohibited from using the API or drug product they have provided. If the FDA, European Medicines Agency ("EMA"), the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency ("MHRA") or other regulatory authorities withdraw regulatory authorizations of these facilities, we may need to find alternative vendors or facilities, which would be time-consuming, complex and expensive and could significantly hamper our ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval for and market our Products. Sanctions could be imposed on us, including fines, injunctions, civil penalties, refusal of regulators to approve our product candidates, delays, suspensions or withdrawals of approvals, seizures or recalls of products, operating restrictions and criminal prosecutions, any of which could harm our business. In addition, our reputation as a reliable sponsor of clinical studies would be harmed, which would make it more difficult for us to develop our drug candidates.

**Other companies offer medications that treat patients with hypercortisolism by mechanisms different than Korlym's. The availability of such competing treatments could limit our product revenue.**

Since 2012, Recordati-S.p.A. has marketed the injectable somatostatin analogue pasireotide in the United States and EU as a treatment for adult patients with Cushing's disease, a subset of hypercortisolism. In 2020, the FDA granted Recordati approval to market the cortisol synthesis inhibitor osilodrostat to treat patients with Cushing's disease, which approval was broadened in April 2025 to include adult patients with any etiologies of hypercortisolism.

In 2021, Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc. received FDA approval to market the cortisol synthesis inhibitor levoketoconazole to treat adult patients with hypercortisolism. Levoketoconazole is an enantiomer of the generic anti-fungal medication, ketoconazole, which is widely prescribed off-label to treat patients with hypercortisolism.

Physician preference for any of these approved medications or for the off-label use of generic medications such as ketoconazole to treat patients with hypercortisolism could reduce our revenue materially and harm our results of operations, causing our stock price to decline.

**Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, extreme weather events or widespread outbreaks of a deadly disease, could disrupt our commercial and clinical activities or damage or destroy clinical trial sites, our office spaces, the residences of our employees or the facilities or residences of our vendors, contractors or consultants, which could significantly harm our operations.**

Any widespread occurrence of deadly illness could adversely affect our business, operations and financial results. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic made it difficult to grow our commercial business and slowed the pace of some of our clinical trials.

We are also vulnerable to natural disasters, including earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, floods, blizzards and the extended periods of extreme heat, cold and precipitation made more frequent and severe by global warming. For example, our headquarters are in the San Francisco Bay Area, which experiences earthquakes, wildfires and flooding. Our specialty pharmacy, tablet manufacturers and warehouses are in areas subject to hurricanes and tornadoes. All our activities, as well as the activities of our vendors, consultants, clinical investigators, patients, physicians and regulators, are subject to the risks posed by global warming.

The loss of life, property damage and disruptions to electrical power distribution, communications, travel and shipping caused by natural disasters could make it difficult or impossible to conduct our commercial activities or complete our drug discovery activities or clinical trials. Patients may be unwilling or unable to travel to clinical trial sites, for example, or clinical materials or data may be lost.

Our insurance, if available at all, would likely be insufficient to cover losses resulting from disasters or other business interruptions.

------

**If we are unable to maintain regulatory approval of our Products or if we fail to comply with other requirements, we will be unable to generate revenue and may be subject to penalties.**

We are subject to oversight by the FDA and other regulatory authorities in the United States and elsewhere with respect to our research, testing, manufacturing, labeling, distribution, adverse event reporting, storage, advertising, promotion, recordkeeping and sales and marketing activities. These requirements include submissions of safety information, annual updates on manufacturing activities and continued compliance with FDA regulations, including cGMPs, good laboratory practices and good clinical practices ("GCPs"), all of which are subject to change without notice and at the regulators' sole discretion. Foreign regulatory authorities have comparable requirements and enforcement mechanisms, which are also subject to change. The FDA and other regulators enforce these regulations through inspections of us and the laboratories, manufacturers and clinical sites we use. Discovery of previously unknown problems with a product or product candidate, such as adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency or deficiencies in manufacturing processes or management, as well as failure to comply with current or future FDA or other U.S. or foreign regulatory requirements, may subject us to substantial civil and criminal penalties, injunctions, holds on clinical trials, product seizure, refusal to permit the import or export of products, restrictions on product marketing, withdrawal of the product from the market, product recalls, total or partial suspension of production, refusal to approve pending new drug applications ("NDAs") or supplemental NDAs, and suspension or revocation of product approvals.

**We may be subject to civil or criminal penalties if our marketing of our Products violates FDA regulations or health care fraud and abuse laws.**

We are subject to statutes and regulations governing the promotion and sale of medicine. Although physicians are permitted to prescribe drugs for any indication they choose, manufacturers may only promote products for their FDA-approved use. All other uses are referred to as "off-label"; manufacturers are prohibited from engaging in any "off-label" promotion. In the United States, we market our Products to treat hyperglycemia secondary to hypercortisolism in adult patients with endogenous hypercortisolism who have type 2 diabetes mellitus or glucose intolerance and for whom surgery has failed or is not an option. Among other activities, we provide promotional materials and training programs to physicians covering the use of our Products for this indication. The FDA may change its policies or enact new regulations at any time that may restrict our ability to promote our Products, which could adversely impact our business.

If the FDA or a law enforcement agency were to determine that we engaged in off-label promotion, we could be required to change our practices and be subject to regulatory enforcement actions, including issuance of a public "warning letter," untitled letter, injunction, seizure, civil fine or criminal penalties. Federal or state enforcement authorities may act if they believe that the alleged improper promotion led to the submission and payment of claims for an unapproved use, which could result in significant fines or penalties under other statutory authorities, such as laws prohibiting false claims for reimbursement. Even if it is determined that we are not in violation of these laws, we may receive negative publicity, incur significant expenses and be forced to devote management time to defending our position.

In addition to laws prohibiting off-label promotion, we are also subject to federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations designed to prevent fraud, kickbacks, self-dealing and other abusive practices. The United States healthcare laws and regulations that may affect our ability to operate include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or paying remuneration, directly or indirectly, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, order or recommendation of, any good or service for which payment may be made under federal health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. And, although we structure our applicable business arrangements in accordance with the safe harbors, it is difficult to determine exactly how the law will be applied in specific circumstances. Accordingly, it is possible that certain practices of ours may be challenged under the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. From a liability perspective, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• federal false claims laws, including, without limitation, the False Claims Act, which prohibit any person from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false claim for payment to the federal government, or knowingly making, or causing to be made, a false statement to get a false claim paid. The federal False Claims Act is unique in that it allows private individuals (whistleblowers) to bring actions on behalf of the federal government via qui tam actions. Importantly, under the False Claims Act the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the federal Civil Monetary Penalties law, which prohibits, among other things, offering or transferring remuneration to a federal healthcare beneficiary that a person knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary's decision to order or receive items or services reimbursable by the government from a particular provider or supplier;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• HIPAA, which created federal criminal laws that prohibit executing a scheme to defraud any health care benefit program or making false statements relating to health care matters; similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• federal "sunshine" laws, including the federal Physician Payment Sunshine Act (or sometimes referred to as the Open Payments<sup>TM</sup> Program), that require transparency regarding financial arrangements with health care providers, such as the reporting and disclosure requirements imposed by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("ACA") on drug manufacturers regarding any "transfer of value" made or distributed to physicians, certain non-physician practitioners, teaching hospitals, and ownership or investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• federal consumer protection and unfair competition laws, which broadly regulate marketplace activities and activities that potentially harm consumers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• state law equivalents of each of the above federal laws, such as anti-kickback and false claims laws which may apply to items or services reimbursed by any third-party payer, including commercial insurers; state laws that require pharmaceutical companies to comply with the pharmaceutical industry's voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by the federal government or otherwise restrict payments that may be made to healthcare providers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• state laws that require drug manufacturers to report information related to payments and other transfers of value to physicians and other healthcare providers or marketing expenditures and pricing information.

The risk of being found in violation of these laws and regulations is increased by the fact that many of them have not been definitively interpreted by regulatory authorities or the courts and their provisions are open to a variety of interpretations. Because of the breadth of these laws and the narrowness of the statutory exceptions and safe harbors available under them, it is possible that some of our business activities, including our relationships with physicians and other healthcare providers (some of whom recommend, purchase and/or prescribe our Products) and the manner in which we promote our Products, could be subject to challenge and scrutiny. We are also exposed to the risk that our employees, independent contractors, principal investigators, consultants, vendors, distributors and contract research organizations ("CROs") may engage in fraudulent or other illegal activity. Although we have policies and procedures prohibiting such activity, it is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct and the precautions we take may not be effective in controlling unknown risks or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

In November 2021, we received a records subpoena from the United States Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey (the "NJ USAO") seeking documents relating to the sale and promotion of Korlym, our relationships with and payments to health care professionals who can prescribe or recommend Korlym and prior authorizations and reimbursement for Korlym. The NJ USAO has informed us that it is investigating whether any criminal or civil violations by us occurred in connection with the matters referenced in the subpoena. It has also informed us that it does not currently consider us a defendant but rather an entity whose conduct is within the scope of the government's investigation. We are cooperating with the investigation. Please see *"Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings"* for additional details.

If we are found in violation of any of the laws described above or any other government regulations, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from governmental health care programs, a corporate integrity agreement or other agreement to resolve allegations of non-compliance, individual imprisonment, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could adversely affect our financial results and ability to operate.

**Risks Related to our Research and Development Activities**

**Vendors perform many of the activities necessary to carry out our clinical trials, including drug product distribution, trial management and oversight and data collection and analysis. Failure of these vendors to perform their duties or meet expected timelines may prevent or delay approval of our product candidates.**

Third-party clinical investigators and clinical sites enroll patients and CROs manage many of our trials and perform data collection and analysis. Although we control only certain aspects of these third parties' activities, we are responsible for

------

ensuring that every study adheres to its protocol and meets regulatory and scientific standards. If any of our vendors does not perform its duties or meet expected deadlines or fails to adhere to applicable GCPs, or if the quality or accuracy of the data it produces is compromised, affected clinical trials may be extended, delayed or terminated and we may be unable to obtain approval for our product candidates. Outside parties may have staffing difficulties, may undergo changes in priorities or may become financially distressed, adversely affecting their willingness or ability to conduct our clinical trials. Problems with the timeliness or quality of the work of a CRO may lead us to seek to terminate the relationship and use an alternative service provider. However, making this change may be costly and may delay our trials, and it may be challenging to find a replacement organization that can conduct our trials in an acceptable manner and at an acceptable cost. Failure of our manufacturing vendors to perform their duties or comply with cGMPs may require us to recall drug product or repeat clinical trials, which would delay regulatory approval. If our agreements with any of these vendors terminate, we may not be able to enter into alternative arrangements in a timely manner or on reasonable terms.

**Our efforts to discover, develop and commercialize our product candidates may not succeed. Clinical drug development is lengthy, expensive and often unsuccessful. Results of early studies and trials are often not predictive of later trial results. Failure can occur at any time. Even if we deem that our product candidates**' **clinical trial results demonstrate safety and efficacy, regulatory authorities may not agree. Failure to obtain or maintain regulatory approvals for our product candidates would prevent us from commercializing them.**

Clinical development is costly, time-consuming and unpredictable. Positive data from clinical trials are susceptible to varying interpretations, which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. The results from early clinical trials are often not predictive of results in later clinical trials. Product candidates may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy traits despite having produced positive results in preclinical studies and initial clinical trials. Many companies have suffered significant setbacks in late-stage clinical trials due to lack of efficacy or unanticipated or unexpectedly severe adverse events.

Our current clinical trials may prove inadequate to support marketing approvals. Even trials that generate positive results may have to be confirmed in much larger, more expensive and lengthier trials before we could seek regulatory approval.

Clinical trials may take longer to complete, cost more than expected and fail for many reasons, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure to show efficacy or acceptable safety;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• slow patient enrollment or delayed activation of clinical trial sites;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• delays obtaining regulatory permission to start a trial, changes to the size or design of a trial or changes in regulatory requirements for a trial already underway;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• inability to secure acceptable terms with vendors and an appropriate number of clinical trial sites;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• delays or inability to obtain institutional review board ("IRB") approval at prospective trial sites;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure of patients or investigators to comply with the clinical trial protocol;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unforeseen safety issues; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• negative findings of inspections of clinical sites or manufacturing operations by us, the FDA or other authorities.

A trial may also be suspended or terminated by us, the trial's data safety monitoring board, the IRBs governing the sites where the trial is being conducted or the FDA for many reasons, including failure to comply with regulatory requirements or clinical protocols, negative findings in an inspection of our clinical trial operations or trial sites by the FDA or other authorities, unforeseen safety issues, failure to demonstrate a benefit or changes in government regulations.

At any time prior to the regulatory approval of a product candidate, we may decide, or the FDA or other regulatory authorities may require us, to conduct more pre-clinical or clinical studies, provide additional analysis of existing data or change the size or design of a trial already underway. Such additional or changed requirements, which regulators may impose in their sole discretion, may delay or prevent the completion of development, submission of an NDA or the completion of regulatory review, which would increase our costs and adversely impact future revenue. Even if we conduct the clinical trials and supportive studies that we consider appropriate and the results are positive, we may not receive regulatory approval. Following regulatory approval, there is no assurance of commercial success.

------

**We may be unable to obtain or maintain regulatory approvals for our Products or product candidates, which would prevent us from commercializing our product candidates.**

We cannot sell a product without the approval of the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authority. Obtaining such approval is difficult, uncertain, lengthy and expensive. Failure can occur at any stage. In order to receive FDA approval for a new drug, we must demonstrate to the FDA's satisfaction that the new drug is safe and effective for its intended use and that our manufacturing processes comply with cGMPs. Recent disruptions at the FDA and other government agencies caused by changing presidential administrations or funding shortages could hinder their ability to hire, retain or deploy key leadership and other personnel, prevent new or modified product candidates from being developed, reviewed, approved or commercialized in a timely manner or at all, which could negatively impact our business. Our inability or the inability of our vendors to comply with applicable FDA and other regulatory requirements can result in delays in or denials of new product approvals, warning letters, untitled letters, fines, consent decrees restricting or suspending manufacturing operations, injunctions, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of product sales and criminal prosecution. We may seek to commercialize our Products in international markets, which would require us to receive a marketing authorization and, in many cases, pricing approval, from the appropriate regulatory authorities. Approval procedures vary between countries and can require additional pre-clinical or clinical studies. Obtaining approval may take longer than it does in the United States. Although approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries, and approval by one foreign regulatory authority does not ensure approval by others, failure or delay in obtaining regulatory approval in one country may have a negative effect on the regulatory process in others. Any of these or other regulatory actions could materially harm our business and financial condition.

If we receive regulatory approval for a product candidate, we will be subject to ongoing requirements and oversight by the FDA and other regulatory authorities, such as continued safety and other reporting requirements and possibly post-approval marketing restrictions and additional costly clinical trials. If we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we may be required to stop development of a product candidate or to stop selling a product that has already been approved. We may also be subject to product recalls or seizures. Future governmental action or changes in regulatory authority policy or personnel may also result in delays or rejection of pending or anticipated product approvals.

**Our Products and product candidates may cause undesirable side effects that halt their clinical development, prevent their regulatory approval, limit their commercial potential or cause us significant liability.**

Patients in clinical trials report changes in their health, including new illnesses, injuries and discomforts, to their study doctor. Often, it is not possible to determine whether or not these conditions were caused by the drug candidate being studied or something else. As we test our product candidates in larger, longer and more extensive clinical trials, or as use of them becomes more widespread if we receive regulatory approval, patients may report serious adverse events that did not occur or went undetected in previous trials. Many times, serious side effects are only detected in large-scale, Phase 3 clinical trials or following commercial approval.

Adverse events reported in clinical trials can slow or stop patient recruitment, prevent enrolled patients from completing a trial and could give rise to liability claims. Regulatory authorities could respond to reported adverse events by interrupting or halting our clinical trials or limiting the scope of, delaying or denying marketing approval. If we elect, or are required by authorities, to delay, suspend or terminate a clinical trial or commercialization efforts, the commercial prospects of the affected product candidates or products may be harmed and our ability to generate product revenues from them may be delayed or eliminated.

If one of our product candidates receives marketing approval, and we or others later identify undesirable side effects or adverse events, potentially significant negative consequences could result, including but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulatory authorities may suspend, limit or withdraw approvals of such product;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulatory authorities may require additional warnings on the label, including "boxed" warnings, or issue safety alerts and other safety information about the product;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may be required to change the way the product is administered or conduct additional studies or clinical trials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may be required to create a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, which could include a medication guide outlining the risks of such side effects for distribution to patients, a communication plan for healthcare providers and/or other elements to assure safe use;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the product may become less competitive;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of criminal penalties; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients.

Any of these events could seriously harm our business.

**Risks Related to our Capital Needs and Financial Results**

**We may need additional capital to fund our operations or for strategic reasons. Such capital may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.**

We are dependent on revenue from the sale of our Products and our cash reserves to fund our commercial operations and development programs. If our revenue declines significantly, we may need to curtail our operations or raise funds to support our plans. We may also choose to raise funds for strategic reasons. We cannot be certain funding will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Equity financing would cause dilution, debt financing may involve restrictive covenants. Neither type of financing may be available to us on attractive terms or at all. If we obtain funds through collaborations with other companies, we may have to relinquish rights to one or more of our product candidates. If our revenue declines and our cash reserves are depleted, and if adequate funds are not available from other sources, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our development programs.

**Risks Related to our Intellectual Property**

**We may not be able to secure, maintain or effectively assert patent protection for the composition, manufacture, or methods of use of our proprietary, selective cortisol modulators and for the use of our Products to treat hypercortisolism. Litigation is slow and expensive and its outcome is uncertain and subject to challenge on appeal.**

Patents are uncertain, involve complex legal and factual questions and are frequently the subject of litigation. The patents issued or licensed to us may be challenged at any time. Competitors may take actions we believe infringe our intellectual property, causing us to take legal action to defend our rights. Intellectual property litigation is lengthy, expensive and requires significant management attention. Outcomes are uncertain. If we do not protect our intellectual property, competitors may erode our competitive advantage. Please see *"Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings"* for additional information.

Our patent applications may not result in issued patents and patents issued to us may be challenged, invalidated, held unenforceable or circumvented. Our patents may not prevent third parties from producing competing products. The foreign countries where we may someday operate may not protect our intellectual property to the extent the laws of the United States do. If we fail to obtain adequate patent protection in other countries, others may produce products in those countries based on our technology.

**Risks Related to our Stock**

**The price of our common stock fluctuates widely and is likely to continue to do so. Opportunities for investors to sell shares may be limited.**

We cannot assure investors that a liquid trading market for our common stock will exist at any particular time. As a result, holders of our common stock may not be able to sell shares quickly or at the current market price. During the 52-week period ended July 24, 2025, our average daily trading volume was approximately 1,183,339 shares and the intra-day sales prices per share of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market ranged from $32.33 to $117.33. As of July 24, 2025, our officers, directors and principal stockholders beneficially owned approximately 21 percent of our common stock.

Our stock price can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance or prospects. Securities class action lawsuits are often instituted against companies following periods of stock market volatility. Such litigation is costly and diverts management's attention from productive efforts.

Factors that may cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate rapidly and widely include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actual or anticipated variations in our operating results or changes to any public guidance we have provided;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actual or anticipated timing and results of our clinical trials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actual or anticipated regulatory approvals of our product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disputes or other developments relating to our intellectual property, including developments in generic-related litigation;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in laws or regulations applicable to the pricing, availability of insurance reimbursement, or approved uses of our commercialized products, our product candidates or our competitors' products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• short-selling of our common stock, the publication of negative opinions about our business or other market manipulation activities that are intended to lower our stock price or increase its volatility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sales of a substantial number of shares of our stock in the public market, leading to reductions in its price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in estimates or recommendations by securities analysts or the failure of our performance to meet the published expectations of those analysts or public guidance we have provided;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• purchases of our common stock pursuant to our stock repurchase program (the "Stock Repurchase Program") or changes to that program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• general market and economic conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the expected or actual timing of our competitors' development programs and the approval of competing products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• purchases or sales of our common stock by our officers, directors or stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• technological innovations by us, our collaborators or our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• conditions in the pharmaceutical industry, including the market valuations of companies similar to ours;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• additions or departures of key personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, collaborations or capital commitments; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• additional financing activities.

**Our stock price may decline if our financial performance does not meet the guidance we have provided to the public, estimates published by research analysts or other investor expectations.**

The guidance we provide as to our expected revenue is only an estimate of what we believe is realizable at the time we give such guidance. Our revenue depends on many factors, including, without limitation, the efficacy of our sales and marketing efforts, the price we receive from private and government payors, competition from alternate treatments for patients with hypercortisolism, including from generic versions of Korlym and changes in government regulations. Our guidance estimate considers all of these factors, but they are difficult to predict. As a result, our revenue may vary materially from our guidance. Research analysts publish estimates of our future revenue and earnings based on their own analysis. The revenue guidance we provide may be one factor they consider when determining their estimates. If our revenue is materially less than the guidance we or the research analysts who cover our stock provide investors, our stock price may decline.

**We have in the past and may in the future be subject to short selling strategies that may drive down the market price of our common stock and increase its volatility.**

Short sellers have, and likely will continue to, attempt to drive down the price of our common stock. Short selling is the practice of selling stock the seller does not own with the intention of buying it back later at a lower price, thereby profiting from any decline in the price of the stock between the time it is sold and the time it is repurchased. To support their efforts, short sellers often publish, or arrange for others to publish, negative opinions regarding the relevant issuer and its business prospects. These publications are often made to appear as if they were objective journalism or unbiased "research reports" of the type distributed by credible Wall Street firms and independent research analysts. Short seller publications are not regulated by any governmental, self-regulatory organization or other authority in the United States and the opinions they express are often based on distortions, omissions or fabrications. Short attacks supported by such publications have, in the past, led to selling of our stock and at least temporary reductions in its price. Companies that are subject to unfavorable allegations, even if untrue, may have to expend a significant amount of resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend themselves, including

------

shareholder suits against the company that may be prompted by such allegations. We have been, and may in the future be, the subject of shareholder suits prompted by allegations made by short sellers.

**General Risk Factors**

**Actions by the federal government of the United States have created unprecedented legal, governmental, regulatory and economic uncertainty and risks that may adversely affect our business.**

The federal government of the United States has recently significantly reduced funding for scientific research conducted by the federal government and universities, terminated large numbers of employees at government agencies, including the FDA, Centers for Disease Control and National Institutes of Health, that support health care research and regulation, and has passed laws that will, over the next several years, significantly reduce the number of people covered by Medicaid. In addition, President Trump has imposed new trade tariffs, increased existing tariffs, and abruptly paused or reversed tariff policies in ways that will increase our costs and make planning difficult. The government's actions have caused economic and regulatory uncertainty and have been adverse to our clinical and commercial efforts.

It is likely the administration will adopt new policies or take new actions that make it more difficult and costly to develop our product candidates. Significant cuts or disruptions to the staffing of government agencies and their budgets may delay review of our NDAs for relacorilant as a treatment for patients with hypercortisolism and platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and may hamper our ability to advance our other clinical programs, including the development of dazucorilant for the treatment of patients with ALS. The research programs of our academic collaborators may be canceled or their funding reduced.

The significant cuts to funding for Medicaid contained in the OBBBA enacted in July 2025 will increase the cost of our financial assistance and charitable donation programs. There may be further reductions in federal healthcare spending that harm our business.

The imposition of tariffs on materials we or our vendors and collaborators use to conduct experiments or to make our Products or product candidates have increased our costs and may increase them further. The United States' tariff regime and the tariff regime of its trading partners are in constant flux. Although we monitor the situation closely, the tariffs that may affect our business are difficult to predict. It is unlikely that we will be able to anticipate new trade measures or mitigate their impacts, which could be material. Additionally, the laws and regulations governing our operations, as well as the application of those laws and regulations, may change without notice. Failure by us or our vendors to comply with new laws or regulations or to respond in a timely way to abrupt changes in the application of existing laws and regulations could adversely affect our operations, cash flow and financial condition or otherwise harm our business.

**We need to increase the size of our organization and may experience difficulties in managing growth.**

Our commercial and research and development efforts are constrained by our limited administrative, operational and management resources. To date, we have relied on a small management team. Growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to recruit and retain additional employees. Our financial performance and ability to compete will depend on our ability to manage growth effectively. To that end, we must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continue to add talented, experienced personnel to our endocrine, oncology and emerging markets businesses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• manage our clinical trials, research and manufacturing activities effectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• hire more general management, clinical development, administrative and sales and marketing personnel; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continue to develop our administrative systems and controls.

Failure to accomplish any of these tasks could harm our business.

**If we lose key personnel or are unable to attract more skilled personnel, we may be unable to pursue our product development and commercialization goals.**

Our ability to operate successfully and manage growth depends upon hiring and retaining skilled managerial, scientific, sales, marketing and financial personnel. The job market for qualified personnel is intensely competitive and turnover rates have reached record highs within our industry and the geographical areas from which we recruit. We depend on the principal members of our management and scientific staff. Any officer or employee may terminate his or her relationship with us at any time and work for a competitor. We do not have employment insurance covering any of our personnel. The loss of key individuals could delay our research, development and commercialization efforts.

------

**We are subject to regulations and other legal obligations relating to drug development and commercialization, the conduct of business as an issuer of publicly traded securities and individual privacy and data protection. Compliance with these obligations is complex and costly. Failure to comply could materially harm our business.**

New laws and regulations, as well as changes to existing laws and regulations, including statutes and regulations concerning taxes and the development, approval, marketing and pricing of medications, the provisions of the ACA requiring the reporting of aggregate spending related to health care professionals, the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd Frank Act of 2010 and rules adopted by the SEC and by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC have and will likely continue to increase our cost of doing business and divert management's attention from revenue-generating activities.

We and our partners are subject to federal, state and foreign laws and regulations concerning data privacy and security, including HIPAA and the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). These and other regulatory frameworks are evolving rapidly as new rules are enacted and existing ones updated and made more stringent.

In the United States, numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including state data breach notification laws, state health information privacy, laws, and federal and state consumer protection laws and regulations (e.g., Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act), that govern the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of health-related and other personal information could apply to our operations or the operations of our partners. In addition, we may obtain health information from third parties (including research institutions from which we obtain clinical trial data) that are subject to privacy and security requirements under HIPAA. Depending on the facts and circumstances, we could be subject to criminal penalties if we knowingly obtain, use, or disclose individually identifiable health information maintained by a HIPAA-covered entity in a manner that is not authorized or permitted by HIPAA. Requirements for compliance under HIPAA are also subject to change, as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Civil Rights issued a proposed rule that would amend certain security compliance requirements for covered entities and business associates.

Even when HIPAA does not apply, according to the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"), violating consumers' privacy or failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers' personal information secure may constitute unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act. The FTC expects a company's data security measures to be reasonable and appropriate in light of the sensitivity and volume of consumer information it holds, the size and complexity of its business, and the cost of available tools to improve security and reduce vulnerabilities. Individually identifiable health information is considered sensitive data that merits stronger safeguards. In 2024, the FTC also finalized its rulemaking on additional data privacy rules and requirements, which may add additional complexity to compliance obligations going forward.

In addition, certain state laws govern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, some of which are more stringent than HIPAA and many of which differ from each other in significant ways and may not have the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts. Failure to comply with these laws, where applicable, can result in the imposition of significant civil and/or criminal penalties and private litigation. For example, the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act imposes restrictive requirements regulating the use and disclosure of health information and other personally identifiable information. Further, the California Consumer Privacy Act, which took effect on January 1, 2020, and was later revised and expanded by the California Privacy Rights Act, collectively the "CCPA", created individual privacy rights for California consumers and increased the privacy and security obligations of entities handling certain personal information as well as limitation on data uses, audit requirements for higher risk data, and opt outs for certain uses of sensitive data. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that is expected to increase data breach litigation. The CCPA may increase our compliance costs and potential liability. It also created a new California data protection agency authorized to issue substantive regulations and could result in increased privacy and information security enforcement. Similar laws passed in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Oregon, Texas and Utah have taken effect in 2023 and 2024 and other states, including Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Tennessee, have passed similar laws that will take effect in or after 2025. In addition, along with the CPRA, some of these laws, along with other standalone health privacy laws, subject health-related information to additional safeguards and disclosures and some specifically regulate consumer health data, such as the Washington My Health My Data Privacy Law, which became effective in 2024, Nevada's Consumer Health Data Privacy Law, which became effective in 2024, and Connecticut's amendments to its privacy law to address health data, which became effective in 2023. As a result, additional compliance investment and potential business process changes may be required. In the event that we are subject to or affected by HIPAA, the CCPA or other domestic privacy and data protection laws, any liability from failure to comply with the requirements of these laws could adversely affect our financial condition. Additional legislation proposed at the federal level and in other states, along with increased regulatory action, reflect a trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the United States.

------

Outside the United States, many jurisdictions have or are in the process of enacting sweeping data privacy regulatory regimes. In Europe, the GDPR took effect in 2018, and is imposing stringent requirements for controllers and processors of personal data of individuals within the EEA, particularly with respect to clinical trials. The GDPR provides that EEA member states may make their own further laws and regulations limiting the processing of health data, which could limit our ability to use and share personal data or could cause our costs to increase and harm our business and financial condition. In addition, the GDPR increases the scrutiny that clinical trial sites located in the EEA should apply to transfers of personal data from such sites to countries that are considered to lack an adequate level of data protection, such as the United States. Legal developments have added complexity and compliance uncertainty regarding certain transfers of information from the EEA to the United States. Following EU court decisions, updated standard contractual clauses ("SCCs") were adopted to account for these judicial decisions, imposing new requirements on data transfers. The revised SCCs must be used for relevant new data transfers from September 27, 2021, and existing SCC arrangements were required to be migrated by December 27, 2022. As supervisory authorities issue further guidance on personal data export mechanisms, and/or start taking enforcement action, we could suffer additional costs, complaints and/or regulatory investigations or fines, and/or if we are otherwise unable to transfer personal data between and among countries and regions in which we operate, it could affect the manner in which we provide our services, the geographical location or segregation of our relevant systems and operations, and could adversely affect our financial results. Further, on July 10, 2023, the European Commission adopted its adequacy decision on the E.U.-U.S. Data Privacy Framework ("DPF"). The decision, which took effect on the day of its adoption, concludes that the United States ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the EEA to companies certified to the DPF. It is currently unclear how the future of DPF will evolve and what impact it will have on our international activities. The GDPR imposes substantial fines for breaches of data protection requirements, which can be up to four percent of global revenue for the preceding financial year or €20 million, whichever is greater, and it also confers a private right of action on data subjects for breaches of data protection requirements. Compliance with European data protection laws is a rigorous and time intensive process that may increase our cost of doing business, and despite those efforts, there is a risk that we may be subject to fines and penalties, litigation and reputational harm in connection with our European activities. From January 1, 2021, we have had to comply with the GDPR and separately the UK GDPR, which, together with the amended United Kingdom Data Protection Act 2018, retains the GDPR in United Kingdom national law, each regime having the ability to fine up to the greater of €20 million/£17.5 million or 4 percent of global turnover. It is unclear how United Kingdom data protection laws and regulations will develop in the medium to longer term and these changes may lead to additional costs and increase our overall risk exposure. Further, on June 28, 2021, the EC adopted an adequacy decision in favor of the United Kingdom, enabling data transfers from EU member states to the United Kingdom without additional safeguards. However, the United Kingdom adequacy decision will automatically expire in December 2025 unless the EC renews or extends that decision and remains under review by the Commission during this period.

Preparing for and complying with U.S. and foreign privacy and security laws and regulations is complex and costly as it is rigorous and time intensive and requires significant resources and a review of our technologies, systems and practices, as well as those of any third-party collaborators, service providers, CROs, contractors or consultants that process or transfer personal data collected in the EU. The GDPR and other changes in laws or regulations associated with the enhanced protection of certain types of sensitive data, such as healthcare data or other personal data from our clinical trials, and access to certain data such as the European Health Data Space Regulation, could require us to change our business practices and put in place additional compliance mechanisms, may interrupt or delay our development, regulatory and commercialization activities and increase our cost of doing business, and could lead to government enforcement actions, private litigation and significant fines and penalties against us and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, failure to comply with federal and state laws regarding privacy and security of personal data could expose us to fines and penalties under such laws. Even if we are not determined to have violated these laws, government investigations into these issues typically require the expenditure of significant resources and generate negative publicity, which could harm our reputation and our business.

**We rely on information technology to conduct our business. A breakdown or breach of our information technology systems or our failure to protect confidential information concerning our business, patients or employees could interrupt the operation of our business and subject us to liability.**

We store valuable confidential information relating to our business, patients and employees on our computer networks and on the networks of our vendors. In addition, we rely heavily on internet technology, including video conference, teleconference and file-sharing services, to conduct business. Despite our security measures, our networks and the networks of our vendors are at risk of break-ins, installation of malware or ransomware, denial-of-service attacks, data theft and other forms of malfeasance by persons seeking to commit fraud or theft, which could result in unauthorized access to, and/or misuse of, our clinical data or other confidential information, including confidential information relating to our patients or employees. We may continue to increase our cybersecurity risks, due to our reliance on internet technology and the number of our employees that are working remotely, which may create additional opportunities for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities.

------

We and our vendors have experienced data breaches, theft, "phishing" attacks and other unauthorized access to confidential data and information. There can be no assurance that our cybersecurity systems and processes will prevent unauthorized access in the future that causes serious harm to us, our patients or employees. We may also experience security breaches that remain undetected for an extended period.

Disruptions or security breaches that result in the disclosure of confidential or proprietary information could cause us to incur liability and delay or otherwise harm our research, development and commercialization efforts. We may be liable for losses suffered by patients or employees or other individuals whose confidential information is stolen as a result of a breach of the security of the systems that we or third parties and our vendors store this information on, and any such liability could be material. Even if we are not liable for such losses, any breach of these systems could expose us to material costs in notifying affected individuals, as well as regulatory fines or penalties. In addition, any breach of these systems could disrupt our normal business operations and expose us to reputational damage and harm our business, operating results and financial condition. Any insurance we maintain against the risk of this type of loss may not be sufficient to cover actual losses or may not apply to the circumstances relating to any particular loss.

**Changes in federal, state and local tax laws may reduce our net earnings.**

Our earnings are subject to federal, state and local taxes. We offset a portion of our earnings using net operating losses and our taxes using research and development tax credits, which reduces the amount of tax we pay. Some jurisdictions require that we pay taxes or fees calculated as a percentage of sales, payroll expense, or other indicia of our activities. Please see *"Part I, Item 1, Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Income Taxes."* Changes to existing tax laws could materially increase the amounts we pay, which would reduce our after tax net income.

**Research analysts may not continue to provide or initiate coverage of our common stock or may issue negative reports.**

The market for our common stock may be affected by the reports financial analysts publish about us. If any of the analysts covering us downgrades or discontinues coverage of our stock, the price of our common stock could decline rapidly and significantly. Paucity of research coverage may also adversely affect our stock price.

**Any acquisition of Corcept shares through our stock repurchase program or, in certain cases, pursuant to the exercise of stock options, will reduce our cash reserves.**

In January 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of our common stock pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Program. In addition, we sometimes accept, in our sole discretion, shares equal in value to any tax and exercise price liability due from option holders at the time of exercise and remit the applicable tax amounts to the tax authorities. Neither our Stock Repurchase Program nor the acceptance of shares at the time of options exercise require us to acquire shares. Furthermore, the Stock Repurchase Program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. It is possible that other uses of our capital would have been more advantageous or that our future capital requirements increase unexpectedly. By reducing our cash balance, our repurchases of common stock could hamper our ability to execute our plans, meet financial obligations or access financing.

**Anti-takeover provisions in our charter and bylaws and under Delaware law may make an acquisition of us or a change in our management more expensive or difficult, even if an acquisition or a management change would be beneficial to our stockholders.**

Provisions in our charter and bylaws may delay or prevent an acquisition of us or a change in our management. Some of these provisions allow us to issue preferred stock without any vote or further action by the stockholders, require advance notification of stockholder proposals and nominations of candidates for election as directors and prohibit stockholders from acting by written consent. In addition, a supermajority vote of stockholders is required to amend our bylaws. Our bylaws provide that special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by our Chairman, President or the Board of Directors and that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the Board of Directors. These provisions may prevent or delay a change in our Board of Directors or our management, which our Board of Directors appoints. In addition, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 203 may prohibit large stockholders, in particular those owning 15 percent or more of our outstanding voting stock, from merging or combining with us. These provisions in our charter and bylaws and under Delaware law could reduce the price that investors would be willing to pay for shares of our common stock.

**Our officers, directors and principal stockholders, acting as a group, could significantly influence corporate actions.**

As of July 24, 2025, our officers and directors beneficially owned approximately 21 percent of our common stock. Acting together, these stockholders could significantly influence any matter requiring approval by our stockholders, including

------

the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combinations. The interests of this group may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders and may prevent or delay a change in control. This significant concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock because many investors perceive disadvantages to owning stock in companies with controlling stockholders.
