&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;our continued reliance on third parties to conduct and support clinical trials of our product candidates, and for the manufacture of our product candidates for preclinical studies and clinical trials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;our current plans to seek additional capital in the future through equity and/or debt financings, partnerships, collaborations, licensing agreements or other strategic arrangements, or other sources and the availability of such future sources of capital;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the impact of laws and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;our anticipated use of our existing cash and cash equivalents; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;other risks and uncertainties, including those listed under the caption "Risk Factors";

as well as other statements relating to our future operations, financial performance and financial condition, prospects, strategies, objectives or other future events. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "may," "could," "will," "should," "would," "expect," "plan," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "project" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, those listed under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. As a result, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Additionally, the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q represent our views only as of the date of this Form 10-Q (or any earlier date indicated in such statement). While we may update certain forward-looking statements from time to time, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, even if new information becomes available in the future. However, you are advised to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in the reports that we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The foregoing cautionary statements are intended to qualify all forward-looking statements wherever they may appear in this Form 10-Q. For all forward-looking statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

**CONTEXT THERAPEUTICS INC.** 

**Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements** 

**(1) Organization and Description of Business**

Context Therapeutics Inc. (the "Company") is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing T cell engaging ("TCE") bispecific antibodies ("bsAb") for solid tumors. The Company's product candidates include CTIM-76, a Claudin 6 ("CLDN6") x CD3 TCE, CT-95, a Mesothelin ("MSLN") x CD3 TCE, and CT-202, a Nectin cell adhesion protein 4 ("Nectin-4") x CD3 TCE.

The Company was organized in April 2015 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

**(2) Risks and Liquidity** 

The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $108.2 million as of June 30, 2025. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant revenues from its current or any future product candidates. The Company believes its cash and cash equivalents of $83.5 million as of June 30, 2025 are sufficient to fund its projected operations for a period of at least 12 months from the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Substantial additional funding will be needed by the Company to fund its operations and to commercially develop its current and any future product candidates.

Management plans to seek additional capital in the future through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic transactions and/or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements to carry out the Company's planned development activities. If additional capital is not available when required, the Company may need to delay or curtail its operations until such funding is received. There is no assurance that such financing will be available when needed or on acceptable terms. Various internal and external factors will affect whether and when the Company's current or any future product candidates become approved for marketing and successful commercialization. The regulatory approval and market acceptance of the Company's current and any future product candidates, length of time and cost of developing and commercializing these product candidates and/or failure of them at any stage of the approval process will materially affect the Company's financial condition and future operations.

The Company faces risks associated with companies whose products are in development. These risks include the need for additional financing to complete its research and development, achieving its research and development objectives, defending its intellectual property rights, recruiting and retaining skilled personnel, and dependence on key members of management, among others.

**(3) Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** 

***Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation***

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments (which consist primarily of accruals and estimates that impact the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements) considered necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2025, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, presented herein, do not contain the required disclosures under GAAP for annual financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icc8551bb4a884fdfa3b82eb85c7c8edd_7)</u>

be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. The consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2024 included herein has been derived from the annual audited consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Context Therapeutics LLC, Context Biopharma, Inc. and Context Ireland Ltd., the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

***Use of Estimates***

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, and the effects of the revisions are reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, share-based compensation arrangements, the fair value of warrants, and in recording the prepayments, accruals and associated expense for research and development activities performed for the Company by third parties.

***Concentrations of Credit Risk***

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

***Segment Information***

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources in assessing performance. The Company has one reportable segment which consists of the development of clinical and preclinical product candidates for the advancement of therapies to treat solid tumors. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the chief executive officer.

The accounting policies of the Company's segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM assesses performance for the Company's segment based on net loss, which is reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations as net loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets.

To date, the Company has not generated any product revenue. The Company expects to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as it advances product candidates through all stages of development and clinical trials and, ultimately, seek regulatory approval. As such, the CODM uses cash forecast models in deciding how to deploy capital at the Company. Such cash forecast models are reviewed to assess the entity-wide operating results and performance. Net loss is used to monitor budget versus actual results. Monitoring budgeted versus actual results is used in assessing performance of the segment, along with cash forecast models. The CODM is regularly provided with net loss and consolidated assets, which are reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

The table below summarizes the significant expense and income categories regularly reviewed by the CODM for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Other segment items included in Segment loss mainly includes board fees, insurance, facilities and information technology costs.

The Company tracks outsourced development costs and other external research and development costs to specific product candidates on a program-by-program basis. However, it does not track internal research and development expenses on a program-by-program basis as they primarily relate to compensation, early research and other costs which are deployed across multiple projects under development.

***Fair Value of Financial Instruments***

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable, approximate their fair values given their short-term nature.

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***

The Company considers all highly liquid investments that have original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of amounts invested in money market accounts. At June 30, 2025, the Company's cash and cash equivalent balances exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $83.1 million.

***Deferred Offering Costs***

The Company capitalizes certain legal, professional, accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity financings as deferred offering costs until such financings are consummated. After consummation of an equity financing, the costs are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital generated as a result of such offering. Should an in-process equity financing be abandoned, the deferred offering costs will be expensed immediately as a charge to operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $0.2 million of deferred offering costs included in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

***Property and Equipment***

Property and equipment consist of office equipment, furniture, and leasehold improvements and are recorded at cost. Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their economic lives or the remaining lease term.

***Leases***

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Balances recognized related to operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icc8551bb4a884fdfa3b82eb85c7c8edd_7)</u>

lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As the Company's lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period and accrues for rent expense incurred but not yet paid.

***Acquired In-Process Research and Development Costs***

Acquired in-process research and development ("IPR&D") expense consists of payments incurred in connection with the acquisition or licensing of products or technologies that do not meet the definition of a business under FASB ASC Topic 805, *Business Combinations*. Payments for acquired IPR&D as well as future product development milestones are initially treated as the acquisition of an asset but then immediately expensed as there is no future alternative use for the asset. These payments are reflected as a component of research and development expense as well as an investing activity outflow on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows due to the nature of the underlying acquisition of an asset. See Note 8 for further discussion.

***Research and Development Costs***

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs include external costs of outside vendors engaged to conduct clinical studies and other research and development activities, acquired IPR&D, salaries, share-based compensation, and other operational costs related to the Company's research and development activities.

Costs for certain development activities, such as the provision of services for product candidate development, clinical and preclinical development and related supply and manufacturing costs, are estimated based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as patient enrollment, clinical site activations or information provided to the Company by its vendors with respect to their actual costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual arrangements, which may differ from the pattern of costs incurred, and are reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as prepaid or accrued research and development expense, as the case may be. The estimates are adjusted to reflect the best information available at the time of the financial statement issuance. Although the Company does not expect its estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, the Company's estimate of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary.

Nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services, including fees for clinical trial expenses, process development or manufacturing and distribution of clinical supplies that will be used in future research and development activities, are deferred and recognized as expense in the period that the related goods are consumed or services are performed.

***Patent Costs***

Costs related to filing and pursuing patent applications are recorded as general and administrative expense and expensed as incurred since recoverability of such expenditures is uncertain.

***Share-Based Compensation***

The Company measures and recognizes share-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

The Company classifies share-based compensation expense in its condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same manner in which the award recipients' payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipients' service payments are classified.

The Company estimates the fair value of employee and non-employee stock awards as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company lacks Company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, management estimates the expected share price volatility based on a weighted average of the Company's historical volatility and historical volatilities of publicly traded peer companies and expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding the volatility of its own publicly traded share price. The expected term of the Company's stock awards has been determined utilizing the "simplified" method for awards that qualify as "plain-vanilla" stock awards. The risk-free

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icc8551bb4a884fdfa3b82eb85c7c8edd_7)</u>

interest rate is determined by reference to the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends on common stock and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

***Net Loss Per Share***

Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, including pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock that were issued in the private placement transaction in May 2024 (Note 6). Diluted net loss per share of common stock includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as preferred stock, warrants (excluding pre-funded warrants) and share-based awards, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. For diluted net loss per share, the weighted-average number of shares of common stock is the same for basic net loss per share due to the fact that when a net loss exists, dilutive securities are not included in the calculation as the impact is anti-dilutive.

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, as they would be anti-dilutive:

---

|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30,** | **June 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Stock options | 5977979 | 2903578 |
| Warrants | 5860000 | 5860000 |
|  | 11837979 | 8763578 |

---

***Emerging Growth Company Status***

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

***Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements***

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*, which expands the disclosures required for income taxes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Company's adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company's disclosures.

***Recently Issued but Not yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements***

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.* ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements will be applied

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icc8551bb4a884fdfa3b82eb85c7c8edd_7)</u>

prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its disclosures.

**(4) Fair Value Measurements** 

The Company utilizes a valuation hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques related to its financial assets and financial liabilities. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are described as follows:

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2 – Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table sets forth the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

**(6) Stockholders' Equity**

***Increase to Authorized Shares***

On September 17, 2024, the Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, the Company's stockholders approved, among other things, an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000.

***Private Placement***

On May 1, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") for the private placement (the "Private Placement") of (i) 59,032,259 shares (the "PIPE Shares") of the Company's common stock at a purchase price of $1.55 per PIPE Share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the "Pre-Funded Warrants") to purchase 5,482,741 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.549 per Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share of common stock, are immediately exercisable and remain exercisable until exercised in full. As of June 30, 2025, the Pre-Funded Warrants had not been exercised. The aggregate gross proceeds for the Private Placement were approximately $100 million, before deducting offering expenses of approximately $5.2 million, and the Private Placement closed on May 6, 2024.

***At-the-Market Facility***

On December 2, 2024, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the "ATM Sales Agreement") with Leerink Partners LLC (the "Agent"). Pursuant to the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement, the Company may offer and sell shares of the Company's common stock (the "ATM Shares"), having an aggregate offering amount of up to $75.0 million from time to time through the Agent. Sales of the ATM Shares may be made in sales deemed to be an "at-the-market offering" as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On December 23, 2024, the Company sold 14,705,882 shares of its common stock under the ATM Sales Agreement for net proceeds of approximately $14.5 million.

***Warrants for Common Stock***

At June 30, 2025, the Company had the following warrants outstanding to acquire common stock:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Outstanding** | **Exercise price** | **Expiration dates** |
| Issued in connection with 2021 initial public offering | 250000 | $6.25 | October 2026 |
| Issued in connection with 2021 private placement | 5250000 | $6.25 | June 2027 |

**(7) Share-based Compensation** 

In April 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Long-Term Performance Incentive Plan ("2021 Incentive Plan"). Under the 2021 Incentive Plan, the Company can grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and stock grants. The 2021 Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of up to 1,266,092 shares of common stock (the "Share Limit"). The Share Limit automatically increases on January 1st of each year, during the term of the 2021 Incentive Plan, commencing on January 1 of the year following the year in which the effective date occurs, in an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the total number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year; provided that the board of directors may determine that there will be no such increase or a smaller increase for any particular year. As of June 30, 2025, 1,271,192 shares remained available for future grants.

In addition, from time to time, the Company makes inducement grants of stock options to new hires, which awards are made pursuant to the Nasdaq's inducement grant exception to the shareholder approval requirement for grants of equity compensation. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company granted inducement stock options covering 359,000 shares of the Company's common stock to new employees.

Share-based awards generally vest over a period of one year to four years, and share-based awards that lapse or are forfeited are available to be granted again. The contractual life of all share-based awards is ten years. The expiration dates of the outstanding share-based awards range from January 2028 to June 2035.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icc8551bb4a884fdfa3b82eb85c7c8edd_7)</u>

The Company measures share-based awards at their grant-date fair value and records compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period of the awards. Share-based compensation is allocated to employees and consultants based on their respective departments. All board of directors' compensation is charged to general and administrative expense.

Share-based compensation expense related to the issuance of stock options was as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended June 30,** | **Three Months Ended June 30,** | **Six Months Ended June 30,** | **Six Months Ended June 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Research and development | $128599 | $3291 | $175669 | $(4046) |
| General and administrative | 260515 | 153746 | 507162 | 401090 |
|  | $389114 | $157037 | $682831 | $397044 |

---

The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of share-based awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **2025** | **2024** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expected stock price volatility | 111.99% | 95.18% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Risk-free interest rate | 4.30% | 4.26% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expected term (in years) | 5.94 | 6.00 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expected dividend yield |  |  |

The following table summarizes the share-based award activity for the periods presented:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Number of Shares** | **Weighted Average<br>Exercise Price Per<br>Share** | **Weighted Average<br>Remaining<br>Contractual Term<br>(years)** | **Aggregate Intrinsic Value** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Outstanding at January 1, 2025 | 3273615 | $1.97 | 8.2 | $176045 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Granted | 3254660 | $0.77 |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Forfeited | (550296) | $1.74 |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Outstanding at June 30, 2025 | 5977979 | $1.34 | 8.5 | $2116 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vested and exercisable at June 30, 2025 | 2007089 | $2.29 | 6.7 | $— |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vested and expected to vest at June 30, 2025 | 5977979 | $1.34 | 8.5 | $2116 |

---

The aggregate intrinsic value in the above table is calculated as the difference between the fair market value of the Company's common stock price and the exercise price of the stock options. The weighted average fair value of share-based awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $0.65 and $0.94, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, the unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding share-based awards was $2.6 million and is expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.8 years.

**(8) Commitments and Contingencies, including License Agreements**

***Operating Lease***

In March 2024, the Company amended its lease for corporate office space in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that it initially entered into in March 2023, in order to extend the expiration date to November 30, 2024. In July 2024, the Company further amended the lease, which is now set to expire on November 30, 2026, thus making the arrangement no longer qualify for the short-term lease exception under ASC 842. The Company also retains the right to renew the lease for up to two consecutive 12-month

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icc8551bb4a884fdfa3b82eb85c7c8edd_7)</u>

terms upon at least nine months advance notice to the landlord before any such successive renewal. These renewal options were not contemplated in the Company's calculation of its right of use asset and lease liability.

As of June 30, 2025, the operating lease right-of-use asset and the operating lease liabilities were each $0.2 million, which were estimated using a discount rate of 11%. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining term of the Company's noncancellable operating lease was 1.42 years. Future minimum lease payments under the sublease are $0.2 million at June 30, 2025.

The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period and accrues for rent expense incurred but not yet paid. Rent expense related to the Company's operating lease was approximately $31,000 for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Rent expense related to the Company's operating lease was approximately $63,000 and $62,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

***Employee Benefit Plans***

The Company established a defined contribution 401(k) plan in which employees may contribute up to 100% of their salary and bonus, subject to statutory maximum contribution amounts. The Company contributes a safe harbor minimum contribution equivalent to 3% of employees' compensation. The Company generally assumes all administrative costs of the plan. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company provided contributions of approximately $20,000 and $12,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company provided contributions of approximately $69,000 and $41,000, respectively.

***Collaboration Agreement with Tyligand Bioscience***

In March 2020, the Company entered into a process development agreement (the "Tyligand Process Development Agreement") with Tyligand Bioscience (Shanghai) Limited ("Tyligand") for the development, manufacturing, registration and future commercialization of onapristone extended release ("ONA-XR"). In August 2024, the Company and Tyligand mutually agreed to terminate the license agreement previously entered into between the parties in August 2021, and further agreed to terminate any ongoing payment obligations the Company may have had to Tyligand under the Tyligand Process Development Agreement.

***Collaboration and Licensing Agreement with Integral Molecular***

In April 2021, the Company entered into a collaboration and licensing agreement with Integral Molecular, Inc. ("Integral") (the "Integral License Agreement") for the development of a CLDN6 bsAb for cancer therapy. Under the terms of the Integral License Agreement, Integral and the Company developed a CLDN6 bsAb that is intended to trigger the activation of T cells and eliminate cancer cells displaying CLDN6. The Company will conduct preclinical and all clinical development, as well as regulatory and commercial activities through exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize the novel CLDN6 candidates. The payment for the initial upfront license fee as well as subsequent payments for milestones achieved were expensed to acquired IPR&D. As a part of the Integral License Agreement, Integral was eligible to receive remaining development and regulatory milestone payments totaling approximately $55.0 million, sales milestone payments totaling up to $130.0 million, and tiered royalties of up to 12% of net sales of certain products developed under the Integral License Agreement.

On March 20, 2023, the Company amended the Integral License Agreement (the "First Amendment") to remove the previously agreed to second milestone payment and to change the amount of the third milestone payment to increase such payment by the amount of the prior second milestone payment and to add payment for third-party research funding obtained and used by Integral in connection with the development of CTIM-76.

On February 29, 2024, the Company further amended the Integral License Agreement (the "Second Amendment") to reflect updated financial terms. Integral's right to receive certain future payments was reduced as follows: aggregate development and regulatory milestone payments were reduced from $55 million to $15 million, aggregate sales milestone payments were reduced from $130 million to $12.5 million, and a tiered royalty of 8-12% that commenced at first commercial sale was reduced to a flat royalty rate of 6% on net sales beginning no sooner than February 1, 2034. The Second Amendment also narrowed the license grant from Integral to the Company to only cover CTIM-76, removed any further obligation to reimburse Integral for any

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icc8551bb4a884fdfa3b82eb85c7c8edd_7)</u>

independently obtained research funding Integral applied against CTIM-76 research, and included mutual releases by the parties.

***Asset Purchase Agreement***

On July 9, 2024, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which the Company acquired CT-95 (formerly known as LNK-101), an MSLN x CD3 TCE engaging bsAb, from Link (assignment for the benefit of creditors), LLC ("Link"), which succeeded to the assets of Link Immunotherapeutics Inc.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased all of the assets from Link associated with CT-95, including patent rights, know-how, regulatory filings, and inventory of drug substance and drug product (the "Transferred Assets"), on an "as is" and "where is" basis. CT-95 patents are currently being prosecuted and/or maintained in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, Taiwan and Japan. The Company also assumed certain liabilities relating to the Transferred Assets. In consideration of the purchase of the Transferred Assets, the Company made a one-time payment to Link of $3.75 million and is not obligated to make any other payments. This transaction qualified as an asset purchase as prescribed by ASC 805-50 and the assets purchased were determined to have no alternative future use under the accounting definition, and therefore the Company expensed the one time payment as a component of research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

***Collaboration and Licensing Agreement with BioAtla***

On September 23, 2024, the Company entered into a license agreement (the "BioAtla License Agreement") with BioAtla, Inc. ("BioAtla"), pursuant to which the Company obtained an exclusive, worldwide license to develop, manufacture and commercialize two licensed antibodies (the "BioAtla Assets"), including BA3362 (renamed by the Company as CT-202), BioAtla's Nectin-4 x CD3 T cell engaging bispecific antibody.

As partial consideration for the exclusive license under the BioAtla License Agreement, the Company made an upfront payment of $11.0 million for the IPR&D asset, which was determined to have no alternative future use under the accounting definition. Therefore, the upfront payment was expensed as a component of research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The Company may be obligated to pay up to $122.5 million in additional milestone payments based upon the achievement of specified pre-clinical, clinical, development and commercial milestones, as well as tiered mid-single digit to low double-digit royalties on future net sales for products containing the BioAtla Assets, subject to standard reductions. The BioAtla License Agreement will continue on a country-by-country, product-by-product basis until the expiration of the royalty term as defined in the BioAtla License Agreement, unless earlier terminated.

***Research and Development Arrangements***

In the course of normal business operations, the Company enters into agreements with investigative sites and contract research organizations to assist in the performance of research and development activities and contract manufacturers to assist with chemistry, manufacturing, and controls-related expenses. Expenditures to contract research organizations represent a significant cost in clinical development for the Company. The Company could also enter into additional collaborative research, contract research, manufacturing, and supplier agreements in the future, which may require upfront payments and long-term commitments of cash.

**Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

*You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other financial information included in this report and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025. In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risks referred to under Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Please also see the section entitled "Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."* 

**Overview** 

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing TCE bispecific antibodies for solid tumors. We are building an innovative portfolio of TCE bispecific therapeutics, including CTIM-76, a CLDN6 x CD3 TCE, CT-95, an MSLN x CD3 TCE, and CT-202, a Nectin-4 x CD3 TCE.

CTIM-76 is a CLDN6 x CD3 TCE that is intended to redirect T-cell-mediated lysis toward malignant cells expressing CLDN6. CLDN6 is a tight junction membrane protein target expressed in multiple solid tumors and absent from or expressed at low levels in healthy adult tissues. IND-enabling studies on CTIM-76 have been completed. On May 2, 2024, we announced the FDA cleared our IND application to support the initiation of a Phase 1 dose escalation and expansion trial of CTIM-76 in patients with CLDN6-positive gynecologic and testicular cancers. We dosed the first patient in our CTIM-76 Phase 1 trial in January 2025. We expect to share initial dose escalation data for the CTIM-76 Phase 1 trial in the second quarter of 2026.

CT-95 is an MSLN x CD3 TCE that is intended to redirect T-cell-mediated lysis toward malignant cells expressing MSLN. MSLN is a membrane protein overexpressed in approximately 30% of cancers. We dosed the first patient in our CT-95 Phase 1 trial in April 2025. We expect to share initial dose escalation data for the CT-95 Phase 1 trial in the middle of 2026.

CT-202 is a Nectin-4 x CD3 TCE that targets Nectin-4, a cell surface protein that is highly and frequently overexpressed in a variety of solid tumors, including bladder, colorectal, lung and breast. Nectin-4 is a clinically validated target for cancer therapy using a traditional antibody-drug conjugate ("ADC"), but it is also associated with certain adverse events, including neuropathy and rash. CT-202 is a pH-dependent TCE that is designed to be preferentially active within the tumor microenvironment. We expect to complete necessary regulatory filings to support the initiation of a first-in-human trial for CT-202 in the second quarter of 2026.

We were incorporated in April 2015 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Since inception, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to developing product and technology rights, conducting research and development, organizing and staffing our company, business planning and raising capital. We operate as one business segment and have incurred recurring losses, the majority of which are attributable to research and development activities, and negative cash flows from operations. We have funded our operations primarily through the sale of common stock, warrants, convertible debt, and convertible preferred stock. Our net loss was $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $108.2 million.

***Asset Acquisition Agreements***

***CTIM-76: Integral Molecular License Agreement***

In April 2021, we entered into a collaboration and licensing agreement with Integral Molecular, Inc. ("Integral") (the "Integral License Agreement") for the development of a CLDN6 BsAb for cancer therapy. On February 29, 2024, we further amended (the "Second Amendment") the Research Collaboration and License Agreement (the "Integral License Agreement", as amended) with Integral to reflect updated financial terms. In the course of our further due diligence review of CTIM-76, we determined that certain of the licensed rights under the Integral License Agreement may incorporate intellectual property rights currently held by a third party. Specifically, we are aware of issued patents in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions expiring in January 2034 that potentially cover certain parts of the intellectual property included in CTIM-76. While we believe

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icc8551bb4a884fdfa3b82eb85c7c8edd_7)</u>

we will have reasonable defenses against any potential claim of infringement, we may not be successful in such efforts, and we also may not be able to obtain a license to such patent on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

As part of the Second Amendment, Integral's right to receive certain future payments was reduced as follows: aggregate development and regulatory milestone payments were reduced from $55 million to $15 million, aggregate sales milestone payments were reduced from $130 million to $12.5 million, and a tiered royalty of 8-12% that commenced at first commercial sale was reduced to a flat royalty rate of 6% on net sales beginning no sooner than February 1, 2034. The Second Amendment also narrowed the license grant from Integral to us to only cover CTIM-76, removed any further obligation of us to reimburse Integral for any independently obtained research funding Integral applied against CTIM-76 research, and included mutual releases by the parties.

The reduced development and regulatory milestones now reflect a payment due at each of: first patient's first screening visit in a Phase 1b/2 or Phase 2 clinical trial for CTIM-76, first patient's first screening visit in a Phase 3 clinical trial for CTIM-76, United States marketing approval for CTIM-76, European Union marketing approval for CTIM-76, United Kingdom marketing approval for CTIM-76, and Japan marketing approval for CTIM-76. The amended commercial milestones now also reflect a payment due upon the achievement of annual net sales of $500 million and annual net sales of $1 billion.

***CT-95: Link Purchase Agreement***

On July 9, 2024, we entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which we acquired CT-95 (formerly known as LNK-101), from Link (assignment for the benefit of creditors), LLC ("Link"), which succeeded to the assets of Link Immunotherapeutics Inc. The FDA previously cleared the IND application for CT-95.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, we purchased all of the assets of Link associated with CT-95, including patent rights, know-how, regulatory filings, and inventory of drug substance and drug product (the "Transferred Assets"), on an "as is" and "where is" basis. CT-95 patents are currently being prosecuted and/or maintained in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan and Taiwan. We also assumed certain liabilities relating to the Transferred Assets. In consideration of the Transferred Assets, we made a one-time payment to Link of $3.75 million.

***CT-202: BioAtla License Agreement***

On September 23, 2024, we entered into a license agreement (the "BioAtla License Agreement") with BioAtla, Inc. ("Bioatla"), pursuant to which we obtained an exclusive, worldwide license to develop, manufacture and commercialize two licensed antibodies (the "BioAtla Assets"), including BA3362 (renamed by the Company as CT-202), BioAtla's Nectin-4 x CD3 TCE bispecific antibody.

As partial consideration for the exclusive license under the BioAtla License Agreement, we made an upfront payment of $11.0 million, and BioAtla is eligible to receive up to $122.5 million in additional milestone payments based upon the achievement of specified pre-clinical, clinical, development and commercial milestones, as well as tiered mid-single digit to low double-digit royalties on future net sales for products containing the BioAtla Assets, subject to standard reductions.

***Financial Overview***

Currently, our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, which consist primarily of research and development expenditures, as well as general and administrative expenditures. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our current or any future product candidates. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance our current and any future product candidates through all stages of development and clinical trials and, ultimately, seek regulatory approval. In addition, if we obtain regulatory approval for any product candidate, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution. Furthermore, we have incurred and continue to incur significant costs associated with operating as a public company, including legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of our clinical trials and our expenses on other research and development activities.

As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $83.5 million, which we expect will be sufficient to fund the estimated duration of the dose escalation portions of our CTIM-76 and CT-95 Phase 1 trials, the estimated expenses to initiate

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icc8551bb4a884fdfa3b82eb85c7c8edd_7)</u>

patient enrollment in a first-in-human trial for CT-202, as well as our operations into 2027. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, the lack of liquidity could have a material adverse effect on the Company's future prospects.

We will need to raise substantial additional capital to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we plan to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic transactions and/or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. There are no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing as and when needed to finance our operations on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Any failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and on our ability to pursue our business plans and strategies. If we are unable to secure adequate additional funding, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization of one or more product candidates or delay our pursuit of potential in-licenses or acquisitions.

***At-the-Market Offering***

On December 2, 2024, we entered into a Sales Agreement (the "ATM Sales Agreement") with Leerink Partners LLC (the "Agent"). Pursuant to the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell shares of common stock having an aggregate offering amount of up to $75.0 million from time to time through the Agent (the "ATM Shares"). Sales of the ATM Shares may be made in sales deemed to be an "at-the-market offering" as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Agent will be entitled to a commission from the Company of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of ATM Shares sold under the ATM Sales Agreement. On December 23, 2024, we sold 14,705,882 shares of our common stock under the ATM Sales Agreement for net proceeds of approximately $14.5 million.

***Private Placement***

On May 1, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") for the private placement (the "Private Placement") of (i) 59,032,259 shares (the "PIPE Shares") of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.55 per PIPE Share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the "Pre-Funded Warrants") to purchase 5,482,741 shares of common stock (the "Warrant Shares") at a purchase price of $1.549 per Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share of common stock, are immediately exercisable and remain exercisable until exercised in full. The aggregate gross proceeds for the Private Placement were approximately $100 million, before deducting offering expenses of $5.2 million, and the Private Placement closed on May 6, 2024.

**Components of Our Results of Operations** 

***Operating Expenses***

*Research and Development Expenses* 

Research and development expenses have consisted primarily of costs incurred in connection with the discovery and development of our product candidates. We expense research and development costs as incurred, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expenses incurred to conduct the necessary discovery-stage laboratory work, preclinical studies and clinical trials required to obtain regulatory approval;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits and share-based compensation expense for our employees and consultants engaged in research and development functions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• costs of funding research performed by third parties, including pursuant to agreements with contract research organizations ("CROs") that conduct our clinical trials, as well as investigative sites, consultants and CROs that conduct our preclinical and clinical studies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expenses incurred under agreements with contract manufacturing organizations, including manufacturing scale-up expenses, milestone-based payments, and the cost of acquiring and manufacturing preclinical study and clinical trial materials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fees paid to consultants who assist with research and development activities;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icc8551bb4a884fdfa3b82eb85c7c8edd_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• license payments and acquisitions of acquired in-process research and development assets that have no alternative future use;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expenses related to regulatory activities, including filing fees paid to regulatory agencies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• allocated expenses for facility costs, including rent, utilities and maintenance.

We track outsourced development costs and other external research and development costs to specific product candidates on a program-by-program basis. However, we do not track our internal research and development expenses on a program-by-program basis as they primarily relate to compensation, early research and other costs which are deployed across multiple projects under development.

Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. We expect our research and development expenses to increase significantly over the next several years as we increase personnel costs, including share-based compensation, conduct our clinical trials, including later-stage clinical trials, for current and any future product candidates and prepare regulatory filings for our current and any future product candidates.

*General and Administrative Expenses*

General and administrative expenses have consisted primarily of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits and share-based compensation expense, for employees and consultants in executive, finance and accounting, legal, operations support, information technology and business development functions. General and administrative expense also includes corporate facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expense, including rent, utilities and insurance, as well as legal fees related to intellectual property and corporate matters and fees for accounting and consulting services.

We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future to support our continued research and development activities, potential commercialization efforts and increased costs of operating as a public company. These increases will likely include increased costs related to the hiring of additional personnel and fees to outside consultants, legal support and accountants, among other expenses. Additionally, we will continue to incur significant costs associated with being a public company, including expenses related to services associated with maintaining compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq and the SEC, insurance and investor relations costs. If any of our current or future product candidates obtain U.S. regulatory approval, we expect that we would incur significantly increased expenses associated with building a sales and marketing team.

*Interest Income*

Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

*Other Income (Expense)*

Other income (expense) is primarily due to the recognition of foreign currency gains or losses as a result of exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than our functional currency.

|  | $7830544 | $1384553 | $6445991 | 466% |

---

*\* Percentage not meaningful*

CTIM-76 expenditures increased by $0.1 million, due to an increase of $0.5 million in clinical costs, partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in preclinical and contract manufacturing costs. CT-95 expense of $1.5 million primarily represents approximately $1.0 million in clinical costs and $0.4 million in preclinical and diagnostic development expenses incurred. CT-95 was acquired from Link in July 2024. CT-202 expense of $3.1 million represents $2.2 million in contract manufacturing costs and $0.9 million in preclinical expenses incurred. We entered into the BioAtla License Agreement in September 2024. Personnel-related costs, which include salaries, benefits and share-based compensation expense, increased by approximately $1.6 million, primarily due to higher headcount over the prior year period as well as termination benefits incurred related to employee departures. Other research and development expense increased by approximately $0.1 million, due to allocated expenses as a result of higher headcount over the prior year period.

*General and Administrative Expenses*

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $0.2 million increase in personnel-related costs, including share-based compensation, mainly due to higher headcount and compensation adjustments.

*Interest Income*

**Liquidity and Capital Resources** 

***Overview***

Since our inception, we have not recognized any revenue and have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from our operations. We have not yet commercialized any product and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of any products for several years, if at all. Since our inception through June 30, 2025, we have funded our operations through the sale of common stock, warrants, convertible debt, and convertible preferred stock. As of June 30, 2025, we had $83.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of $108.2 million.

We expect our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2025 to fund the estimated duration of the dose escalation portions of our CTIM-76 and CT-95 Phase 1 trials, the estimated expenses to initiate patient enrollment in a first-in-human trial for CT-202, as well as our operations into 2027. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be imprecise, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect.

***Funding Requirements***

Our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, which consist of research and development expenditures and various general and administrative expenses. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable, accrued expenses and prepaid expenses.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our operating capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the scope, timing, progress and results of discovery, preclinical development, laboratory testing and clinical trials for our current and any future product candidates that we may pursue;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the costs of manufacturing our current and any future product candidates for clinical trials and in preparation for regulatory approval and commercialization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the extent to which we enter into collaborations or other arrangements with additional third parties in order to further develop our current and any future product candidates that we may pursue;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icc8551bb4a884fdfa3b82eb85c7c8edd_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the costs and fees associated with the discovery, acquisition or in-license of additional product candidates or technologies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expenses needed to attract and retain skilled personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• costs associated with being a public company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the costs required to scale up our clinical, regulatory and manufacturing capabilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the costs of future commercialization activities, if any, including establishing sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution capabilities, for our current and any future product candidates for which we receive regulatory approval; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our current and any future product candidates, should any of our product candidates receive regulatory approval.

We will need additional funds to meet our operational needs and capital requirements for clinical trials, other research and development expenditures, and general and administrative expenses. We currently have no credit facility or committed sources of capital.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic transactions and/or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interests of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic transactions or marketing, or distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research, product development or future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

***Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024***

*Operating Activities* 

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we used $10.9 million of cash in operating activities. Cash used in operating activities reflected our net loss of $13.4 million, partially offset by a change in our operating assets and liabilities of $1.8 million and non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.7 million. The primary uses of cash were to fund our operations related to the development of our product candidates.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icc8551bb4a884fdfa3b82eb85c7c8edd_7)</u>

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we used $7.7 million of cash in operating activities. Cash used in operating activities reflected our net loss of $5.9 million and a change in our operating assets and liabilities of $2.2 million, partially offset by non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.4 million. The primary uses of cash were to fund our operations related to the development of CTIM-76.

*Investing Activities*

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we used approximately $34,000 of cash in operating activities to purchase property and equipment.

We did not have cash flows from investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

*Financing Activities*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we used approximately $15,000 of cash in financing activities related to the payment of remaining offering costs from the sale of ATM Shares under our ATM Sales Agreement.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, financing activities provided $94.8 million, consisting of net proceeds from the sale of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants in the Private Placement.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements** 

During the periods presented, we did not have, nor do we currently have, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We do not engage in off-balance sheet financing arrangements. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. We therefore believe that we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements** 

See Note 3 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for a description of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

**Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status** 

In April 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the "JOBS Act") was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption from complying with new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements under the JOBS Act include, without limitation, the requirements for providing an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, an exemption from any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icc8551bb4a884fdfa3b82eb85c7c8edd_7)</u>

Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation, and less extensive disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier to occur of (a) the last day of the fiscal year (i) following October 19, 2026, (ii) in which we have total annual gross revenues of at least $1.235 billion or (iii) in which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" under the rules of the SEC, which means that we have been required to file annual and quarterly reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), for a period of at least 12 months and have filed at least one annual report pursuant to the Exchange Act and (b) either (i) the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the prior June 30th, or (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

We are also a "smaller reporting company," meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million and our annual revenue was less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We will continue to be a smaller reporting company while either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icc8551bb4a884fdfa3b82eb85c7c8edd_7)</u>

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk** 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item 3.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a 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 the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of such date were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II – Other Information**

**Item 1. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Legal Proceedings**

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We

are not presently a party to any material legal proceedings.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors described under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025. Except for the addition of two new risk factors as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors described in that report. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described in our Risk Factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. In such an event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.

***Changes in U.S. trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and the resulting consequences, may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.***

The U.S. government has adopted new approaches to trade policy, and in some cases may renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements. The U.S. government has also imposed tariffs on most foreign goods and has raised the possibility of imposing significant tariff increases or expanding the tariffs to capture other countries and types of goods. Tariffs on imports from nations from whom we procure raw materials used in the manufacturing process, clinical supplies or other required products are likely to increase the difficulty and cost of our research and development, and/or could require us to incur significant costs to transition to alternative suppliers. Future tariff increases, expanding the tariffs to cover other countries or other changes in U.S. trade policy could exacerbate these challenges.

In addition, in response to these tariffs, other countries have threatened, announced or implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. Political tensions and uncertainty as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, investment, technological exchange, and other economic activities between major international economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, which could in turn have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Changes to United States federal regulatory agencies may cause disruptions and delays in government approval processes and regulations relating to our product candidates.***

On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order creating an advisory commission, the Department of Government Efficiency, tasked with eliminating regulations, cutting expenditures, and restructuring federal agencies. Any future government proposals to reduce or eliminate budgetary deficits may include reduced allocations to the FDA and other related U.S. government agencies. These budgetary pressures may result in a reduced ability by the FDA and others to perform their respective roles.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS"), which oversees the FDA, has previously stated his intent to reform, downsize or restructure these agencies. For example, HHS has announced a significant workforce reduction at the FDA, and the FDA has released a plan to phase out animal testing requirements in preclinical safety studies. If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new requirements or policies, or if we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, our current or any future product candidates may not achieve regulatory approval. Even if we are successful in achieving regulatory approval for one of more of our product candidates, such approval could be significantly delayed by changes at the FDA.

**Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds**

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#icc8551bb4a884fdfa3b82eb85c7c8edd_7)</u>

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company granted inducement stock options outside of the 2021 Long-Term Performance Incentive Plan covering 313,000 shares of the Company's common stock to new employees (the "Inducement Grants") with a weighted average exercise price of $0.76 per share. Each respective Inducement Grants will vest as to 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant and in successive equal monthly installments over the subsequent three years, subject to continued employment with the Company and the terms and conditions in the stock option agreement. The options were granted pursuant to the exemption contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Executive acknowledges that (A) the restrictions contained in this **Section 6** are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the Company, (B) such restrictions create no undue hardships, and (C) such restrictions were a material inducement to the Company to employ Executive and to enter into this Agreement and to provide the compensation, benefits and opportunities hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)Executive agrees to communicate the existence and terms of this Agreement to any third party with whom Executive may seek or obtain future employment or other similar arrangement during the Restricted Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)In the event of any violation or threatened violation of the restrictions contained in this **Section 6,** the Company, in addition to and not in limitation of, any other rights, remedies, or damages available to the Company under this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity, may be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent or restrain any such violation by Executive and all persons directly or indirectly acting for or with Executive, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)If Executive violates the Restrictive Covenant and the Company brings legal action for injunctive or other relief, the Company shall not, as a result of the time involved in obtaining such relief, be deprived of the benefit of the full period of the Restrictive Covenant; accordingly, the Restrictive Covenant shall be deemed to have the duration specified herein computed from the date the relief is granted but reduced by the time between the period when the Restricted Period began to run and the date of the first violation of the Restrictive Covenant by Executive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.<u>Section 280G.</u>** In the event it shall be determined that any payment, distribution or other action by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (each, a

"**Payment**") would be subject to an excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (such excise tax referred to as the "**Excise Tax**"), the Company shall either **(a)** make a payment to Executive of all amounts due without any adjustment, or **(b)** reduce whatever payments are deemed to be contingent on a transaction that constitutes either a "change in the ownership or effective control" of the Company, a "change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets" of the Company (as such phrases are used for purposes of Code Section 280G), to the extent necessary that no payments or benefits provided to Executive are subject to the Excise Tax, whichever approach results in a better economic result for Executive on a better economic result for Executive net of all taxes, including the Excise Tax. The determination of which approach shall be applied shall be made by a public accounting firm retained by the Company for purposes of making this determination (the "**Accounting Firm**"), which need not be the same firm otherwise retained by the Company for the provision of general accounting services. The reduction in payments or benefits provided to Executive under approach (b) shall be applied in a manner that the Accounting Firm determines to be the most appropriate, taking into account possible tax implications of Code Section 409A, and that avoids any unnecessary losses to Executive that may occur in the case of a reduction achieved by reducing the extent to which equity is vested on an accelerated basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.<u>No Set-Off; No Mitigation.</u>** Except as provided herein, the Company's obligation to provide benefits under this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right the Company may have against Executive or others. In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not Executive obtains other employment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.<u>Notices.</u>** Notices and all other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when emailed (by the Company to Executive's Company email or personal email on file with the Company, or by the Executive to the CEO with cc to the Chief Legal Officer), mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or sent by overnight delivery by FedEx, United Parcel Service or other overnight delivery provider, addressed as follows: if to the Company, to the principal headquarters of the Company, attention: Chairman of the Board; and if to Executive, to Executive's most recent address in the Company's records; or, in each respective case, to such other address as either Party may furnish to the other in writing, except that notices of changes of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.<u>Governing Law</u>.** This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of laws (whether in Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than Delaware.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.<u>Choice of Venue and Consent to Jurisdiction.</u>** Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located within Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania and New Castle County, Delaware for the purpose of any suit, action, or other proceeding arising out of or based on this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or any subject matter hereof, whether in tort, contract, or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.<u>Entire Agreement.</u>** This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, undertakings, agreements, and arrangements with respect thereto, whether written or oral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.<u>Withholding of Taxes.</u>** The Company may withhold from any benefits payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city and other taxes as may be required pursuant to any law, governmental regulation, or ruling.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.<u>Assignment</u>.** Executive's right to receive benefits under this Agreement shall not be assignable or transferable whether by pledge, creation of a security interest, or otherwise, other than a transfer by will, by the laws of descent or distribution, or as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Company may assign this Agreement, including to any Affiliate or in connection with a merger or sale of equity or assets, and upon any such assignment all references to the Company herein shall be deemed to include the assignee. The Company need not obtain Executive's authorization or permission to assign this Agreement; however, if the Company assigns this Agreement, for any reason, the Company agrees to provide advance notice thereof to Executive and ensure the party to whom this Agreement is assigned has the resources to comply with the terms set forth herein. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive's personal and legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors, and assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.<u>Amendment.</u>** This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by written agreement signed by the Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**16.<u>Executive Acknowledgement.</u>** Executive hereby represents that from and after the Effective Date the performance of Executive's duties hereunder will not breach any other agreement to which Executive is a party. Executive acknowledges that Executive has read and understands this Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect, has not acted in reliance upon any representations or promises made by the Company other than those contained in writing herein, and has entered into this Agreement freely based on Executive's own judgment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**17.<u>Code Section 409A.</u>** To the extent any provision of this Agreement or action by the Company would subject Executive to liability for interest or additional taxes under Code Section 409A, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Company. Payments under this agreement are intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A, and, if not exempt, to be compliant with the requirements of Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any payments are part of a plan or agreement that is subject to Code Section 409A and such payments are payable on termination of employment (or other similar concept), such payments shall only be made if the payment triggering event also constitutes a "separation from service" within the meaning of Code Section 409A. In addition, if (A) the Company has any class of equity securities traded on a stock exchange and **(B)** Executive is a "specified employee" (as that phrase is used for purposes of Code Section 409A) as of the date of Executive's "separation from service," any payment that is subject to Code Section 409A and is payable by reason of Executive's "separation from service," such payment shall not be made prior to the first day of the seventh (7<sup>th</sup>) calendar month following the date of Executive's "separation from service" or the date of Executive's death, if earlier. For purposes of Code Section 409A, all installment payments of deferred compensation made hereunder, or pursuant to another plan or arrangement, shall be deemed to be separate payments. To the extent any reimbursements or in-kind benefit payments under this Agreement are subject to Code Section 409A, such reimbursements and in-kind benefit payments shall be made in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv). This Agreement may be amended to the extent necessary (including retroactively) by the Company to avoid the application of taxes or interest under Code Section 409A, while maintaining to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of this Agreement. This Section 17 shall not be construed as a guarantee of any particular tax effect for Executive's benefits under this Agreement and the Company does not guarantee that any such benefits will satisfy the provisions of Code Section 409A or any other provision of the Code.

**<u>EXHIBIT A</u>**

**<u>Agreement and Release and Waiver</u>**

This **Agreement and Release and Waiver** ("**Agreement**") is made and entered into by and between **Context Therapeutics Inc.** (the "**Company**") and Karen Chagin, M.D. ("**Executive**").

**Whereas,** Executive and the Company desire to settle fully and amicably all issues that Executive has with the Company, including any issues arising out of Executive's employment with the Company and the termination of that employment; and

**Whereas,** Executive and the Company are parties to that certain Employment Agreement, made and entered into as of June 9, 2025, as amended (the "**Employment Agreement**").

**Now, therefore,** for and in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and for other good and sufficient consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Executive and the Company (collectively, the "**Parties**" and, individually, each a "**Party**"), intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Termination of Employment.** Executive's employment with the Company terminated effective as of the close of business on [●] (the "**Termination Date**"). The Company shall pay Executive any Accrued Benefits, as defined in the Employment Agreement, within 30 calendar days after the Termination Date, except for payments for Executive's unreimbursed business expenses and any benefits, incentives, or awards pursuant to the terms of any plan, program, or arrangement sponsored or maintained by the Company or its Affiliates. For avoidance of doubt, Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive has not accrued any vacation or paid time off and therefore will not receive any payment from the Company related to any unused vacation or paid time off following the Termination Date. The Company shall make payments for Executive's unreimbursed business expenses within 30 calendar days following submission for reimbursement. Any benefits, incentives, or awards shall be paid pursuant to the terms of any plan, program, or arrangement sponsored or maintained by the Company or its Affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Compensation and Benefits.** Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall compensate Executive under this Agreement as follows (collectively, the "**Severance Payments**"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Severance Payments.</u> The Company shall pay Executive an amount of $[AMOUNT], which is the equivalent of 75% of the Executive's Annual Base Salary in effect on the Termination Date. The Company will pay the Severance Payments in equal installments over nine (9) months immediately after the Termination Date in accordance with the Company's regular payroll cycle, with the first payment being made on the first regularly scheduled payroll

19

------

date after the Effective Date and to include any other installments that otherwise would have been paid sooner but for such delay.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Benefits Continuation</u>. The Company shall provide its portion of the cost of the Subsidized Coverage for a period of up to 12-months following the Termination Date, provided that (i) Executive and/or Executive's dependents are covered under the terms of any medical, vision, or dental plans of the Company (or an Affiliate), and (ii) the Executive is eligible and timely elects to continue coverage under the health care continuation rules of COBRA, or in accordance with the Executive's Employment Agreement. After the 12-month period, the Executive will be responsible for timely paying the full and entire cost of any applicable COBRA premium for any remaining period of COBRA eligibility according to the terms of a Company medical, vision, or dental plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Vesting of Options</u>. All unvested Options and any other unvested incentive equity awards held by Executive on the Termination Date that are scheduled to vest within 12 months after the Termination Date shall immediately vest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Executive Acknowledgement.</u> Executive acknowledges that, subject to fulfillment of all obligations provided for herein, Executive has been fully compensated by the Company, including under all applicable laws, and that nothing further is owed to Executive with respect to wages, bonuses, severance, other compensation, or benefits. Executive further acknowledges that the Severance Payments (other than (b) above) are consideration for Executive's promises contained in this Agreement, and that the Severance Payments are above and beyond any wages, bonuses, severance, other compensation, or benefits to which Executive is entitled from the Company under the terms of Executive's employment or under any other contract or law, absent Executive's execution of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Withholding.</u> The Severance Payments shall be treated as wages and subject to all taxes and other payroll deductions required by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Termination of Benefits.** Except as provided in **Section 2** above or as may be required by law, Executive's participation in all employee benefit (pension and welfare) and compensation plans of the Company shall cease as of the Termination Date. Nothing contained herein shall limit or otherwise impair Executive's right to receive pension or similar benefit payments that are vested as of the Termination Date under any applicable tax-qualified pension or other plans, pursuant to the terms of the applicable plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Release of Claims and Waiver of Rights.** Executive, on Executive's own behalf and that of Executive's heirs, executors, attorneys, administrators, successors, and assigns, fully releases and discharges the Company; each of its predecessors, successors, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and assigns; all of its and their current and former directors, officers, trustees, employees, and agents, both in their individual and official capacities; and the current and former trustees and administrators of each retirement and other benefit plan applicable to the employees and former employees of the Company, both in their official and individual capacities (the "**Releasees**") from all liability, claims, demands, and actions Executive now has, may have had,

21

------

Executive acknowledges that Executive is aware that statutes exist that render null and void releases and discharges of any claims, rights, demands, liabilities, actions, and causes of action that are unknown to the releasing or discharging party at the time of execution of the release and discharge. Executive waives, surrenders, and shall forego any protection to which Executive would otherwise be entitled by virtue of the existence of any such statutes in any jurisdiction, including the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exclusions from General Release.** Excluded from the Release are any claims or rights that cannot be waived by law (including any pending workers' compensation claim or right to any workers' compensation benefits with respect to any occupational illness or injury arising from or sustained due Executive's employment with the Company, any claims for vested rights Executive may have in any existing Company 401(k) plan, if any, or Executive's right to purchase continuation health benefits coverage for Executive and/or Executive's dependents under the Company's continuation health benefits policies to the extent Executive and/or Executive's dependents are otherwise eligible and for the period provided by law under COBRA), claims for indemnification by the Company as an officer or former officer of the Company, whether by law, contract or articles or bylaws of the Company, as well as Executive's right to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("**EEOC**"), the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission ("**OSH**"), the National Labor Relations Board ("**NLRB**"), the Securities and Exchange Commission ("**SEC**"), any other federal agency, labor board or commission, any state or local fair employment practices agency, or any other state or local agency, labor board or commission (collectively, the "**Government Agencies**"), or to provide information and/or documents to or otherwise communicate with any Government Agencies, participate in any investigation of any Government Agencies, testify or otherwise participate in any proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agencies concerning the Company's past or future conduct, or engage in any activities now or in the future that are protected under the whistleblower statutes administered by OSH or any other Government Agencies without notice to the Company. Executive is, however, waiving the right to recover any money from the Company and other Releasees in connection with a charge or investigation. Executive is also waiving the right to recover any money from the Company and other Releasees in connection with a charge filed by any other individual or by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other federal or state agency. This Agreement does not limit Executive's right to receive and fully retain a monetary reward from any government-administered whistleblower award or other incentive program for providing information directly to any Government Agencies (such as those administered by the OSH or the SEC).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Covenant Not to Sue.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A "covenant not to sue" is a legal term that means Executive promises not to file a lawsuit in court. It is different from the release of claims and waiver of rights contained in **Section 4** above. Besides waiving and releasing the claims covered by **Section 4** above, Executive shall never sue the Releasees in any forum for any reason covered by the Release. Notwithstanding this covenant not to sue, Executive may bring a claim against the Company to enforce this Agreement, to challenge the validity of this Agreement under the ADEA or for any claim that arises after execution of this Agreement. Executive may also file an administrative

22

------

complaint or charge with any Government Agencies and otherwise engage in activities permitted by **Section 4** above, *provided, however,* that Executive shall not be entitled recover any monies from the Releasees as a result of filing such administrative complaint or charge. If Executive sues any of the Releasees in violation of this Agreement, Executive shall be liable to them for their reasonable attorneys' fees and costs (including the costs of experts, evidence, and counsel) and other litigation costs incurred in defending against Executive's suit. In addition, if Executive sues any of the Releasees in violation of this Agreement, the Company can require Executive to return all but a sum of $100 of the Severance Payments, which sum is, by itself, adequate consideration for the promises and covenants in this Agreement. In that event, the Company shall have no obligation to make any further Severance Payments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If Executive has previously filed any lawsuit against any of the Releasees, Executive shall immediately take all necessary steps and execute all necessary documents to withdraw or dismiss such lawsuit to the extent Executive's agreement to withdraw, dismiss, or not file a lawsuit would not be a violation of any applicable law or regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Representations by Executive.** Executive warrants that Executive is legally competent to execute this Agreement and that Executive has not relied on any statements or explanations made by the Company or its attorneys. **Executive acknowledges that Executive has been advised to consult legal counsel regarding the terms of this Agreement, including the Release. Executive acknowledges that Executive has been offered at least 21 calendar days to consider this Agreement. After being so advised, and without coercion of any kind, Executive freely, knowingly, and voluntarily enters into this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that Executive may revoke this Agreement within seven calendar days after Executive has signed this Agreement and acknowledges understanding that this Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable until seven calendar days after Executive has signed this Agreement (the "Effective Date"), as evidenced by the date set forth below Executive's signature on the signature page hereto.** Any revocation must be in writing and directed to [●]. If sent by mail, any revocation must be postmarked within the seven-day period described above and sent by certified mail, return receipt requested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Restrictive Covenants.** Section 6 of the Employment Agreement (entitled "**Restrictive Covenants**") shall continue in full force and effect as if fully restated herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-Disparagement.** Other than in connection with Executive engaging in activities otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement (including **Section 4** above), Executive shall not engage in any disparagement or vilification of the Releasees, and shall refrain from making any false, negative, critical, or disparaging statements, implied or expressed, concerning the Releasees, including regarding management style, methods of doing business, the quality of products and services, role in the community, or treatment of employees. The Company and its directors, officers and senior management employees, while associated with the Company, shall not engage in any disparagement or vilification of the Releasees, and shall refrain from making any false, negative, critical, or disparaging statements, implied or expressed, concerning Executive; *provided, however* that each Party may make truthful statements as required by

23

------

applicable law and the Company may make internal statements and statements to its attorneys and advisors for legitimate business reasons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Company Property.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Executive shall return to the Company all information, property, and supplies belonging to the Company or any of its affiliates, including any confidential or proprietary information, Company autos, keys (for equipment or facilities), laptop computers and related equipment, cellular phones, smart phones or PDAs (including SIM cards), security cards, corporate credit cards, and the originals and all copies of all files, materials, and documents (whether in tangible or electronic form) containing confidential or proprietary information or relating to the business of the Company or any of its affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Executive shall not, at any time on or after the Termination Date, directly or indirectly use, access, or in any way alter or modify any of the databases, e-mail systems, software, computer systems, or hardware or other electronic, computerized, or technological systems of the Company or any of its affiliates.
