Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Description of the Business

Armata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Armata”), and together with its subsidiaries, is referred to herein as, the “Company”, is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of pathogen-specific bacteriophage therapeutics for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant and difficult-to-treat bacterial infections using its proprietary bacteriophage-based technology. Armata’s common stock is traded on the NYSE American exchange under the ticker symbol “ARMP”.

2. Liquidity

The Company has prepared its condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has incurred net losses since its inception and has negative operating cash flows. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of the uncertainty concerning the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2023 Credit Agreement

On July 10, 2023, the Company entered into, as borrower, a credit and security agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Innoviva Strategic Opportunities LLC (“Innoviva”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Innoviva, Inc. (the “Parent”), a principal shareholder of the Company on July 10, 2023. The Credit Agreement provides for a secured term loan facility in an aggregate amount of $25 million (the “Loan”) at an interest rate of 14.0% per annum, and has a maturity date of January 10, 2025. Repayment of the Loan is guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, and the Loan is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and representations and warranties, including financial reporting obligations and certain limitations on indebtedness, liens, investments, distributions (including dividends), collateral, investments, mergers or acquisitions and fundamental corporate changes. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of provisions under the loan documents, certain losses or impairment of collateral and related security interests, the occurrence of certain events that could reasonably be expected to have a “material adverse effect” as set forth in the Credit Agreement, certain bankruptcy or insolvency events, and a material deviation from the Company’s operating budget.

2023 Convertible Credit Agreement

On January 10, 2023, the Company entered into, as borrower, a secured convertible credit and security agreement (the “Convertible Credit Agreement”) with Innoviva. The Convertible Credit Agreement provides for a secured term loan facility in an aggregate amount of $30 million (the “Convertible Loan”) at an interest rate of 8.0% per annum, and has a maturity date of January 10, 2024. Concurrently with the execution of the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into an amendment to that certain secured convertible credit and security agreement (the “First Amendment to Convertible Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the First Amendment to Convertible Credit Agreement, the parties agreed to, among other things, extend the maturity date from January 10, 2024 to January 10, 2025.

Repayment of the Convertible Loan is guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and foreign material subsidiaries, and the Convertible Loan is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors.

Table of Contents

The Convertible Credit Agreement provides that if a Qualified Financing (as defined in the Credit Agreement) occurs, the outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Convertible Loan shall be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) at a price per share equal to a 15.0% discount to the lowest price per share for Common Stock paid by investors in a Qualified Financing (which price paid by investors in a Qualified Financing may not be less than a 15.0% discount to the closing price of Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of a Qualified Financing event). The Convertible Credit Agreement also required the Company to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) for the resale of all securities issued to the lender in connection with any conversion under the Convertible Credit Agreement, which the Company originally filed on February 13, 2023 and which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 6, 2023. The Convertible Credit Agreement also confers upon the lender the option to convert any outstanding Convertible Loan amount, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at the lender’s option, into shares of Common Stock at a price per share equal to the greater of book value or market value per share of Common Stock on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the Convertible Credit Agreement, which was $1.52 (as may be appropriately adjusted for any stock split, combination or similar act).

2022 Equity Financing

On February 9, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (“February 2022 Securities Purchase Agreement”) to sell its Common Stock and warrants to Innoviva. Pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the February 2022 Securities Purchase Agreement and related agreements, Innoviva agreed to purchase 9,000,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a price of $5.00 per share, and warrants to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The stock purchases closed in two tranches. On February 9, 2022, Innoviva purchased 3,614,792 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,807,396 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $18.1 million. At the closing of the second tranche, following the Company’s shareholders voting in favor of the transaction on March 30, 2022, Innoviva purchased 5,385,208 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 2,692,604 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $26.9 million on March 31, 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $12.5 million. The Company’s current cash resources, along with the funds received in the Loan financing closed in July 2023, that management believes will be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations into the first quarter of 2024. For the foreseeable future, the Company’s ability to continue its operations is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional capital.

Management plans to raise additional capital through equity offerings, debt financings, or other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. While management believes this plan to raise additional funds will alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, these plans are not entirely within its control and cannot be assessed as being probable of occurring. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and the recent disruptions to, and volatility in, financial markets in the United States and worldwide. The Company may not be able to secure additional financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms, if at all. Furthermore, if the Company issues equity securities to raise additional funds, its existing shareholders may experience dilution, and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the Company’s existing shareholders. If the Company raises additional funds through collaboration, licensing or other similar arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to its potential products on terms that are not favorable to the Company. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, it would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate its research and development programs or other operations. If any of these events occur, the Company’s ability to achieve the development and commercialization goals would be adversely affected.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Armata and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited condensed

Table of Contents

consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2023. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements. Any reference in the Notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are of a normal and recurring nature and that are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any future period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in its condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates and judgments, which are based on historical and anticipated results and trends, and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and, as such, actual results may differ from management’s estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

In-Process Research and Development (“IPR&D”)

IPR&D assets are intangible assets with indefinite lives and are not subject to amortization. The Company’s IPR&D assets represent capitalized incomplete research projects acquired by the Company, which is related to the development of natural phage combinations for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus infections (“S. aureus”), examples of which comprise AP-SA01 and AP-SA02. Such assets are initially measured at their acquisition-date fair values and are subject to impairment testing at least annually until completion or abandonment of research and development efforts associated with the projects. Upon successful completion of each project, the Company makes a determination as to the then remaining useful life of the intangible asset and begins amortization.

Goodwill

Goodwill, which has an indefinite useful life, represents the excess of purchase consideration over fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is required to be tested for impairment at least on an annual basis. The Company tests goodwill for impairment as of December 31 of each year. The Company determines whether goodwill may be impaired by comparing the carrying value of the single reporting unit, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a more detailed analysis is performed to determine whether goodwill is impaired. The impairment loss, if any, is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the goodwill over the implied fair value of the goodwill and is recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

Net earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) is calculated in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC 260, Earnings per Share. The Company uses the two-class method for the computation and presentation of net income (loss) per common share attributable to common shareholders. The two-class method is an earnings allocation

Table of Contents

formula that calculates basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for each class of common stock separately based on dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period. Under the two-class method, warrants issued to Innoviva are assumed to participate in undistributed earnings on an as-exercised basis, in accordance with the warrant agreements. Undistributed net losses are allocated entirely to common shareholders since the participating security has no contractual obligation to share in the losses.

Accordingly, basic income or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, or using the two-class method, whichever is more dilutive. Diluted net income or loss per share is computed using the more dilutive of the treasury stock method which reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock, or the two-class method.

The calculation of diluted loss per share requires that, to the extent the average market price of the underlying shares for the reporting period exceeds the exercise price of liability classified warrants, and the presumed exercise of such securities are dilutive to net loss per share for the period, an adjustment to net loss available to common shareholders used in the calculation is required to remove the change in fair value of the warrants from the numerator for the period. Likewise, an adjustment to the denominator is required to reflect the related dilutive shares, if any, under the treasury stock method.

Grants and Awards

In applying the provisions of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), Armata has determined that grants and awards are out of the scope of ASC 606 because the funding entities do not meet the definition of a “customer”, as defined by ASC 606, as there is not considered to be a transfer of control of goods or services. With respect to each grant or award, the Company determines if it has a collaboration in accordance with ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”). To the extent the grant or award is within the scope of ASC 808, the Company recognizes the award upon achievement of certain milestones as credits to research and development expenses. For grant and awards outside the scope of ASC 808, the Company applies ASC 606 or International Accounting Standards No. 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, by analogy, and revenue is recognized when the Company incurs expenses related to the grants for the amount the Company is entitled to under the provisions of the contract.

Armata also considers the guidance in ASC Topic 730, Research and Development (“ASC 730”), which requires an assessment, at the inception of the grant or award, of whether the agreement is a liability. If Armata is obligated to repay funds received regardless of the outcome of the related research and development activities, then Armata is required to estimate and recognize that liability. Alternatively, if Armata is not required to repay the funds, then payments received are recorded as revenue or contra-expense as the expenses are incurred.

Deferred grant or award liability represents award funds received or receivable for which the allowable expenses have not yet been incurred as of the balance sheet date.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. The Company currently only has operating leases. The Company recognizes a right-of-use operating lease asset and associated short and long-term operating lease liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheet for operating leases greater than one year. The right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease arrangements. Right-of-use operating lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments, including noncash lease payments, the Company will pay over the lease term. The Company determines the lease term at the inception of each lease, which includes renewal options only if the Company concludes that such options are reasonably certain to be exercised.

Table of Contents

As the Company’s leases do not provide an interest rate implicit in the lease, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available on the date of adoption of Topic 842, Leases, as of the lease inception date or at the lease option extension date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company recognizes rent expense for the minimum lease payments on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the leases. The Company recognizes period expenses, such as common area maintenance expenses, in the period such expenses are incurred.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development (“R&D”) costs consist primarily of direct and allocated salaries, incentive compensation, share-based compensation and other personnel-related costs, facility costs, and third-party services. Third-party services include studies and clinical trials conducted by clinical research organizations. R&D activities are expensed as incurred. The Company records accruals for estimated ongoing clinical trial expenses. When evaluating the adequacy of the accrued liabilities, the Company analyzes progress of the studies, including the phase or completion of events, invoices received and contracted costs. Judgments and estimates are made in determining the accrued balances at the end of the reporting period.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts, including tenant improvement receivable and awards receivable, have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Refer to Note 6 Other Receivables table for details.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to recognize an allowance for credit losses rather than a reduction in carrying value of the asset. Entities will no longer be permitted to consider the length of time that fair value has been less than amortized cost when evaluating when credit losses should be recognized. This new guidance became effective for calendar-year smaller reporting public entities in the first quarter of 2023. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2023 which did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, ASU 2020-06 modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for the Company as of January 1, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its financial statements and does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4. Fair Value Measurements

The Company's Convertible Loan (Note 7) is measured at fair value, which is revalued at each measurement period.

The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following three levels:

Table of Contents

●Level 1: Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

●Level 2: Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

●Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company estimates the fair value of its Convertible Loan (Note 7) using a weighted probability of various scenario of the Convertible Loan during its term, utilizing significant assumptions and estimates such as volatility and risk-free interest rates, which are level 3 fair value inputs unobservable from active markets.

The following table presents the Company’s fair value measurements using level 3 inputs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

7. Convertible Debt

As described in Note 2, on January 10, 2023, the Company received a Convertible Loan of $30 million from Innoviva pursuant to the Convertible Credit Agreement. The Convertible Loan bears an interest rate of 8.0% per annum. The Convertible Loan had a maturity date of January 10, 2024, which was amended to January 10, 2025 in connection with the First Amendment to Convertible Credit Agreement entered into between the Company and Innoviva on July 10, 2023. Repayment of the Convertible Loan is guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and foreign material subsidiaries, and the Convertible Loan is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors.

The Convertible Credit Agreement provides that if a Qualified Financing occurs, which is defined in the Convertible Credit Agreement as a financing from new investors of at least $30 million, the outstanding principal amount of and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Convertible Loan shall be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price per share equal to a 15.0% discount to the lowest price per share for Common Stock paid by

Table of Contents

investors in such Qualified Financing. The Convertible Credit Agreement also required the Company to file the Registration Statement for the resale of all securities issued to the lender in connection with any conversion under the Convertible Credit Agreement, which the Company originally filed on February 13, 2023 and which was declared effective by the SEC on April 6, 2023. The Convertible Credit Agreement also confers upon the lender the option to convert any outstanding Convertible Loan amount, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at the lender’s option, into shares of Common Stock at a price per share equal to the greater of book value or market value per share of Common Stock on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the Convertible Credit Agreement, which was $1.52 (as may be appropriately adjusted for any stock split, combination or similar act).

The Company evaluated authoritative guidance for accounting for the Convertible Loan and concluded that the Convertible Loan should be accounted for at fair value under ASC 480, Distinguish Liabilities from Equity, due to the fact that the Convertible Loan will predominately be settled with the Company’s Common Stock. Consequently, the Company recorded the Convertible Loan in its entirety at fair value on its balance sheet, with changes in fair value recorded as other income (expenses) in the statement of operations during each reporting period.

8. Shareholders’ Equity

Private Investment

February 2022 Private Placement

On February 9, 2022, the Company entered into the February 2022 Securities Purchase Agreement to sell its Common Stock and warrants to Innoviva. Pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the February 2022 Securities Purchase Agreement and related agreements, Innoviva agreed to purchase 9,000,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a price of $5.00 per share, and warrants to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The stock purchases occurred in two tranches. On February 9, 2022, Innoviva purchased 3,614,792 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 1,807,396 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $18.1 million. On March 31, 2022, upon the Company’s shareholders voting in favor of the transaction, Innoviva purchased 5,385,208 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 2,692,604 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $26.9 million.

Warrants issued to Innoviva expire five years from the respective issuance date. The Company reviewed the authoritative accounting guidance and determined that the warrants meet the criteria to be accounted for as permanent equity.

Warrants

On June 30, 2023, outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock are as follows:


Shares Underlying Outstanding Warrants	Exercise Price		Expiration Date

9. Equity Incentive Plans

Stock Award Plans

The Company maintains a 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), which provides for the issuance of incentive share awards in the form of non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards and performance-based stock awards. The awards may be granted by the Company’s Board of Directors to its employees, directors and officers and to consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors who provide services to the Company or to a subsidiary of the Company. The exercise price for stock options must not be less than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. Stock options expire no later than ten years from the date of grant and generally vest and typically become exercisable over a four-year period following the date of grant. Under the 2016 Plan, the number of shares authorized for issuance automatically increases annually beginning January 1, 2017 and through January 1, 2026.

The Company has issued restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) under certain legacy option plans that generally vest two to four years based on service conditions. The RSAs began vesting in May 2019, and no additional awards will be issued under this legacy plan.

Share-based Compensation

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options with performance and service conditions using the Black-Scholes valuation model (“Black-Scholes”). Compensation expense related to stock options granted is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized on the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period.

The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are presented below.


	Six months ended
	June 30, 2023	June 30, 2022
Risk-free interest rate	3.54% - 4.20%	2.65% - 3.52%
Expected volatility	90.99% - 91.58%	84.81% - 85.67%
Expected term (in years)	5.50 - 7.00	5.50 - 7.00
Expected dividend yield	0%	0%

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of Armata and peer companies’ common stock. The expected term represents the period that the Company expects its stock options to be outstanding. The expected term assumption is estimated using the simplified method set forth in the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 110, which is the mid-point between the option vesting date and the expiration date. For stock options granted to parties other than employees or directors, the Company elects, on a grant-by-grant basis, to use the expected term or the contractual term of the option award. The Company has never declared or paid dividends on its Common Stock and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. Forfeitures are recognized as a reduction of share-based compensation expense as they occur.

The tables below summarize the total share-based compensation expense included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company leases office and research and development space under a non-cancelable operating lease in Marina del Rey, CA. The lease commenced January 1, 2012 and in April 2020, the Company amended the lease (“2020 Lease Amendment”) which, among other things, extended the lease term through December 31, 2031. Base annual rent for calendar year 2022, the first year under the Lease Amendment extended term, will be approximately $1.9 million, and base rent increases by 3% annually and will be $2.5 million by the end of the amended term. In addition, the Company received a six-month rent abatement in 2020. The Company did not use an allowance for tenant improvements of $0.8 million during 2021, which will offset rent payments as prescribed by the 2020 Lease Amendment starting in 2022. In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company re-measured the lease liability in April 2020 to be $11.7 million and related right of use asset of $11.0 million as of the Lease Amendment date with an incremental borrowing rate of 12.89%.

Concurrent with the Company’s execution of the 2020 Lease Amendment, an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $1.2 million was delivered to the landlord. Starting on February 1, 2022, and each year thereafter, the letter of credit will be reduced by 20% of the then outstanding amount.

On October 28, 2021, the Company entered into a lease for office and research and development space under a non-cancellable lease in Los Angeles, CA (the “2021 Lease”). The 2021 Lease payment start date is May 1, 2022 and the total lease term is for 16 years and runs through 2038. Monthly rent for 2022 and 2023 will be fully or partially abated while the lessor and the Company complete planned tenant improvements to the facility. Base monthly rent will be approximately $0.25 million in 2024. The Company is entitled to receive an allowance for tenant improvements of up to $7.3 million, and the Company is responsible for construction costs over such allowance. Out of pocket expenses to be incurred by the Company are considered noncash lease payments, and included in the lease liability and right-of-use asset when the amount can be reasonably estimated. As of November 16, 2022, the Company finalized the budget to complete the construction of the 2021 Lease. Accordingly, the Company re-measured the lease liability and related right-of-use asset as of November 30, 2022, using an incremental borrowing rate of 11.8%. The re-measured lease liability of the 2021 Lease as of November 16, 2022 was $37.0 million, and the related right of use asset was $33.8 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the budget was modified and the Company re-measured the lease liability as of April 30, 2023, and increased the lease liability and related right-of-use asset by approximately $1.0 million, using an incremental borrowing rate of 14.27%.

In connection with the 2021 Lease, the Company delivered an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the total amount of $5.0 million to the landlord in 2022.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be involved in disputes, including litigation, relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. Any of these claims could subject the Company to costly legal expenses and, while management generally believes that there is adequate insurance to cover many different types of liabilities, the Company’s insurance carriers may deny coverage or policy limits may be inadequate to fully satisfy any damage awards or settlements. If this were to happen, the payment of any such awards could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position. Additionally, any such claims, whether or not successful, could damage the Company’s reputation and business. The Company is currently not a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, in management’s opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

12. Grants and Awards

MTEC Grant

On June 15, 2020, the Company entered into a Research Project Award agreement (the “MTEC Agreement”) with the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (“MTEC”), pursuant to which the Company received a $15.0 million grant and entered into a three-year program administered by the U.S. Department of Defense through MTEC with funding from the Defense Health Agency and Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program. On September 29, 2022, the MTEC Agreement was modified to increase the total award by $1.3 million to $16.3 million and extend the term into the third quarter of 2024. The MTEC funds are to partially fund a Phase 1b/2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation clinical study of Armata's therapeutic phage-based candidate, AP-SA02, for the treatment of complicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia infections. The MTEC Agreement specifies that the grant will be paid to the Company over the term of the award through a cost reimbursable model, based on agreed upon cost share percentages, and the grant money received is not refundable to MTEC.

Upon license or commercialization of intellectual property developed with the funding from the MTEC Agreement, additional fees will be due to MTEC. The Company will elect whether to (a) pay a fixed royalty amount, which is subject to a cap based upon total funding received, or (b) pay an additional assessment fee, which would also be subject to a cap based upon a percentage of total funding received.

The MTEC Agreement is effective through October 30, 2024. The MTEC Agreement may be terminated in whole or in part, 30 calendar days following written notice from the Company to MTEC. In addition, MTEC has the right to terminate the MTEC Agreement upon material breach by the Company.

The Company determined that the MTEC Agreement is not in the scope of ASC 808 or ASC 606. Applying ASC 606 by analogy the Company recognizes proceeds received under the MTEC Agreement as grant revenue on the statement of operations when related costs are incurred. The Company recognized $1.0 million and $1.8 million in grant revenue from the MTEC Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company recognized $1.9 million and $3.1 million in grant revenue from the MTEC Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $0.2 million and $1.6 million as unbilled awards receivable from MTEC, respectively.

CFF Therapeutics Development Award

On March 13, 2020, the Company entered into an award agreement (the “Award Agreement”) with CFF, pursuant to which the Company received a Therapeutics Development Award of up to $5.0 million (the “CFF Award”). The CFF Award will be used to fund a portion of the Company’s Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa (“P. aeruginosa”) phage candidate, AP-PA02, as a treatment for Pseudomonas airway infections in people with cystic fibrosis (“CF”).

The first payment under the Award Agreement, in the amount of $1.0 million, became due upon signing the Award Agreement and was received in April 2020. The remainder of the CFF Award will be paid to the Company incrementally in installments upon the achievement of certain milestones related to the development program and progress of the Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of AP-PA02, as set forth in the Award Agreement.

If the Company ceases to use commercially reasonable efforts directed to the development of AP-PA02, or any other Product (as defined in the Award Agreement), for a period of 360 days (an “Interruption”) and fails to resume the development of the Product after receiving from CFF notice of an Interruption, then the Company must either repay the amount of the CFF Award actually received by the Company, plus interest, or grant to CFF (1) an exclusive (even as to the Company), worldwide, perpetual, sublicensable license under technology developed under the Award Agreement that covers the Product for use in treating infections in CF patients (the “CF Field”), and (2) a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, sublicensable license under certain background intellectual property covering the Product, to the extent necessary to commercialize the Product in the CF Field.

Table of Contents

Upon commercialization by the Company of any Product, the Company will owe a fixed royalty amount to CFF, which is to be paid in installments determined, in part, based on commercial sales volumes of the Product. The Company will be obligated to make an additional fixed royalty payment upon achieving specified sales milestones. The Company may also be obligated to make a payment to CFF if the Company transfers, sells or licenses the Product in the CF Field, or if the Company enters into a change of control transaction.

The term of the Award Agreement commenced on March 10, 2020 and expires on the earlier of the date on which the Company has paid CFF all of the fixed royalty payments set forth therein, the effective date of any license granted to CFF following an Interruption, or upon earlier termination of the Award Agreement. Either CFF or the Company may terminate the Award Agreement for cause, which includes the Company’s material failure to achieve certain development milestones. The Company’s payment obligations survive the termination of the Award Agreement.

The Company concluded that the CFF Award is in the scope of ASC 808. Accordingly, as discussed in Note 3, the Company recognizes the award upon achievement of certain milestones as credits to research and development expenses. No credits were recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022. In addition, the Company concluded under the guidance in ASC 730 that it does not have an obligation to repay funds received once related research and development expenses are incurred.

Overview

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of pathogen-specific bacteriophage therapeutics for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant and difficult-to-treat acute and chronic bacterial infections using our proprietary bacteriophage-based technology. Bacteriophages or “phages” have a powerful and highly differentiated mechanism of action that enables binding to and killing specific bacteria, including those forming biofilms, in contrast to traditional broad-spectrum antibiotics. We believe that phages represent a promising means to treat bacterial infections, especially those that have developed resistance to current standard of care therapies, including the so-called multidrug-resistant or “superbug” strains of bacteria. We are a leading developer of phage therapeutics administered intravenously as well as locally, and are uniquely positioned to address the growing worldwide threat of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.

We are combining our proprietary approach and unique purification procedures and expertise in identifying, characterizing and developing both naturally-occurring and engineered (synthetic) bacteriophages with our proprietary phage-specific cGMP capabilities to advance a broad pipeline of high-quality multi-bacteriophage product candidates that can be tolerated no matter the route of deliverer from intravenously, topically and inhaled.

We are developing and advancing the clinical phage candidate, AP-PA02, for Pseudomonas aeruginosa (“P. aeruginosa”). On October 14, 2020, we received the approval to proceed from the FDA for our IND application for AP-

Table of Contents

PA02-101, which was a Phase 1b/2a, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (“SAD”) and multiple ascending dose (“MAD”) clinical trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of inhaled AP-PA02 in subjects with cystic fibrosis (“CF”) and chronic pulmonary P. aeruginosa infection. In the first quarter of 2023, Armata announced positive topline results from the completed “SWARM-P.a.” study. Data indicated that multiple days of inhaled AP-PA02 was well-tolerated with a treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) profile similar to placebo. Only mild, self-limited adverse events possibly related to study drug were reported in a few CF subjects. Pharmacokinetic findings confirm that AP-PA02 can be effectively delivered to the lungs through nebulization with minimal systemic exposure. SAD and MAD resulted in a proportional increase in exposure as measured in induced sputum. Additionally, achieved exposures were relatively consistent from subject to subject. Bacterial levels of P. aeruginosa in the sputum were measured at several time points and compared to baseline levels prior to study drug administration. Trends suggest improvement in bacterial load reduction for subjects treated with AP-PA02 at end of treatment as compared to placebo after ten days of dosing. Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic analysis indicates significant microbiological impacts in the subjects with highest exposures. Importantly, for subjects with the highest average exposure of susceptible phage, there was durability of approximately two-log reduction from end of treatment to end of study (day 28 post dose). This study is supported by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (“CFF”), which granted Armata a Therapeutics Development Award of up to $5.0 million.

A key advantage of Armata’s phage manufacturing expertise is the purity profiles of our phage products, including AP-SA02, our phage product candidate for Staphylococcus aureus (“S. aureus”); this has enabled Armata to pursue treatment of complicated S. aureus bacteremia, where repetitive intravenous dosing is required. On June 15, 2020, the Company entered into a Research Project Award agreement (the “MTEC Agreement”) with the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (“MTEC”), pursuant to which the Company received a $15.0 million grant and entered into a three-year program administered by the U.S. Department of Defense (the “DoD”) through MTEC with funding from the Defense Health Agency and Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program. On September 29, 2022, the MTEC Agreement was modified to increase the total award by $1.3 million to $16.3 million and extend the term into the third quarter of 2024. The MTEC funds are to partially fund a Phase 1b/2a, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo- controlled dose escalation study that will assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of our phage-based candidate, AP-SA02, for the treatment of adults with complicated S. aureus bacteremia. On November 17, 2021, Armata announced that it had received from the FDA the approval to proceed for our Investigational New Drug application for AP-SA02, and in May 2022, the Company dosed the first patient in the Phase 1b/2a trial (“diSArm” study). The Phase 1b part of the study has been fully enrolled as planned, and the Company anticipates initiation of the Phase 2a part of the study in the third quarter of 2023.

On February 22, 2022, Armata announced that it had received from the FDA the approval to proceed for our IND application for AP-PA02, in a second indication, NCFB (non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis). We initiated a Phase 2 trial (“Tailwind”) in NCFB in 2022 and reported first patient dosing in the first quarter of 2023. The “Tailwind” study is a Phase 2, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, phage kinetics, and efficacy of inhaled AP-PA02 phage therapeutic in subjects with NCFB and chronic pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.

On August 1, 2022, Armata announced that it had received from the FDA the approval to proceed for our IND application for AP-SA02, in a second indication, PJI (periprosthetic joint infection). With progress made in the Phase 1b bacteremia study we are proceeding with the second application. We are advancing start-up activities for a Phase 1b/2a trial that will assess the safety and tolerability of intravenous and intra-articular AP-SA02 as an adjunct to standard of care antibiotics in adults undergoing debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention for the treatment of periprosthetic joint infections caused by S. aureus.

We are committed to conducting randomized controlled clinical trials required for FDA approval in order to move toward the commercialization of alternatives to traditional antibiotics and provide a potential method of treating patients suffering from drug-resistant and difficult-to-treat bacterial infections.

Table of Contents

The following chart summarizes the status of our phage product candidate development programs and partners.

We have incurred net losses since our inception and our operations to date have been primarily limited to research and development and raising capital. As of June 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $257.5 million. We anticipate that a substantial portion of our capital resources and efforts in the foreseeable future will be focused on completing the development and seeking to obtain regulatory approval of our product candidates.

We currently expect to use our existing cash and cash equivalents for the continued research and development of our product candidates and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We expect to continue to incur significant and increasing operating losses at least for the next several years. We do not expect to generate product revenue unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain marketing approval for at least one of our product candidates.

We may also use a portion of our existing cash and cash equivalents for the potential acquisition of, or investment in, product candidates, technologies, formulations or companies that complement our business, although we have no current understandings, commitments or agreements to do so. Our existing cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to enable us to complete all necessary development of any potential product candidates. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain further funding through one or more other public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaboration, strategic financing, grants or government contract awards, licensing arrangements or other sources. Our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and potential disruptions to, and volatility in, financial markets in the United States and worldwide. Adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be required to defer, reduce or eliminate significant planned expenditures, restructure, curtail or eliminate some or all of our development programs or other operations, dispose of assets, enter into arrangements that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our product candidates, technologies or potential markets, file for bankruptcy or cease operations altogether. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and result in a loss of investment by our shareholders.

Recent Events

2023 Credit Agreement

On July 11, 2023, we announced that we had entered into, as borrower, a credit and security agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Innoviva Strategic Opportunities LLC (“Innoviva”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Innoviva, Inc. (the “Parent”), a principal shareholder, on July 10, 2023. The Credit Agreement provides for a secured term loan facility in an aggregate amount of $25 million (the “Loan”) at an interest rate of 14.0% per annum, and has a maturity date of January 10, 2025. Repayment of the Loan is guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries, and the Loan is secured by substantially all of our assets and our subsidiary guarantors.

documents, certain losses or impairment of collateral and related security interests, the occurrence of certain events that could reasonably be expected to have a “material adverse effect” as set forth in the Credit Agreement, certain bankruptcy or insolvency events, and a material deviation from our operating budget.

2023 Convertible Credit Agreement

On January 10, 2023, we entered into, as borrower, a secured convertible credit and security agreement (the “Convertible Credit Agreement”) with Innoviva. The Convertible Credit Agreement provides for a secured term loan facility in an aggregate amount of $30 million (the “Convertible Loan”) at an interest rate of 8.0% per annum, and has a maturity date of January 10, 2024. Concurrently with the execution of the Credit Agreement, we entered into an amendment to that certain secured convertible credit and security agreement (the “First Amendment to Convertible Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the First Amendment to Convertible Credit Agreement, the parties agreed to, among other things, extend the maturity date from January 10, 2024 to January 10, 2025.

Repayment of the Convertible Loan is guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries and foreign material subsidiaries, and the Convertible Loan is secured by substantially all of our assets and the subsidiary guarantors.

The Convertible Credit Agreement provides that if a Qualified Financing, as defined in the Convertible Credit Agreement, occurs, the outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Convertible Loan shall be converted into shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) at a price per share equal to a 15.0% discount to the lowest price per share for Common Stock paid by investors in a Qualified Financing (which price paid by investors in a Qualified Financing may not be less than a 15.0% discount to the closing price of Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of a Qualified Financing event). The Convertible Credit Agreement also required us to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) for the resale of all securities issued to the lender in connection with any conversion under the Convertible Credit Agreement, which the Company originally filed on February 13, 2023 and which was declared effective by the SEC on April 6, 2023. The Convertible Credit Agreement also confers upon the lender the option to convert any outstanding Convertible Loan amount, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at the lender’s option, into shares of Common Stock at a price per share equal to the greater of book value or market value per share of Common Stock on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the Convertible Credit Agreement, which was $1.52 (as may be appropriately adjusted for any stock split, combination or similar act).

Grant Revenue

The Company recognized $1.0 million and $1.9 million of grant revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and $1.8 million and $3.1 million of grant revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which represents MTEC’s share of the costs incurred for the Company’s AP-SA02 program for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $8.3 million and $9.0 million, respectively. The decrease of $0.7 million was primarily related to a decrease of $0.7 million related to decreased clinical trial activities and laboratory supplies expenses, a decrease of $0.3 million in personnel costs, offset by an increase of $0.3 million in lease and professional services expenses.

Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $17.9 million and $17.0 million, respectively. The increase of $0.9 million was primarily related to an increase of $0.5 million in personnel costs, a $0.7 million increase in professional services, $0.4 million increase in lease expenses, and offset by a $0.7 million decrease in clinical trial activities and laboratory supplies expenses.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $2.4 million and $2.1 million for the three ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase of $0.3 million is primarily related to a $0.6 million increase in legal and professional expenses, and $0.1 million of increase in lease expenses, offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in personnel costs.

General and administrative expenses were $4.9 million and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase of $0.8 million is primarily related to a $1.0 million increase in legal and professional expenses, offset by a $0.2 million decrease in personnel expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded other income due to change in our Convertible Loan from Innoviva, which is recorded at fair value in its entirety, of $6.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

Income Taxes

There was no income tax expense or benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $29.6 million, as compared to $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase of $17.9 million in cash used for operating activities was primarily due to an increase of $14.8 million in cash used for operating assets and liabilities including payments made under our operating lease arrangements and prepayments for clinical activities, and offset by decreases of $3.1 million related to non-cash reconciling items from net loss to cash used in operating activities.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.2 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and primarily related to purchases of laboratory equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $29.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which was primarily comprised of $29.2 million of proceeds raised from the convertible debt issued to Innoviva, net of issuance costs.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $44.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, which was comprised of $44.4 million of net proceeds raised from the February 2022 private placement transactions with Innoviva, and $0.1 million of proceeds for exercise of stock options.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition

We have prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities in the normal course of business. However, we have incurred net losses since our inception and have negative operating cash flows. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of the uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going concern. While management believes this plan to raise additional funds will alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt, these plans are not entirely within its control and cannot be assessed as being probable of occurring. We may not be able to secure additional financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms, if at all.

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12.5 million. Management believes that our current cash resources, along with the funds received in the $25.0 million Loan financing that closed in July 2023, will be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations into the first quarter of 2024. For the foreseeable future, our ability to continue our operations is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional capital.

Future Capital Requirements

We will need to raise additional capital in the future to continue to fund our operations. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:

●

the costs and timing of our research and development activities;

●

the progress and cost of our clinical trials and other research and development activities;

●

manufacturing costs associated with our targeted phage therapies strategy and other research and development activities;

●

the costs of completing the construction and improvements of our leased premises to be used as our new headquarters. As of June 30, 2023, the total projected construction costs of our new leased headquarter in Los

Table of Contents

Angeles was estimated to be approximately $26.5 million, inclusive of $7.3 million reimbursable from the landlord, and of which $15.7 million have been incurred to date. The estimated total construction costs may change as the project progresses;

●

the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing, acquisition or other arrangements that we may establish;

●

whether and when we receive future Australian tax rebates, if any;

●

the costs and timing of seeking regulatory approvals;

●

the costs of filing, prosecuting and enforcing any patent applications, claims, patents and other intellectual property rights; and

●

the costs of potential lawsuits involving us or our product candidates.

We may seek to raise capital through a variety of sources, including:

●

the public equity market;

●

private equity financings;

●

collaborative arrangements, government grants or strategic financings;

●

licensing arrangements; and

●

public or private debt.

Any additional fundraising efforts may divert our management team from their day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize our product candidates. Our ability to raise additional funds will depend, in part, on the success of our product development activities, including our targeted phage therapies strategy and any clinical trials we initiate, regulatory events, our ability to identify and enter into in-licensing or other strategic arrangements, and other events or conditions that may affect our value or prospects, as well as factors related to financial, economic and market conditions, many of which are beyond our control. We cannot be certain that sufficient funds will be available to us when required or on acceptable terms. If we are unable to secure additional funds on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, we may be required to defer, reduce or eliminate significant planned expenditures, restructure, curtail or eliminate some or all of our development programs or other operations, dispose of technology or assets, pursue an acquisition of our company by a third party at a price that may result in a loss on investment for our shareholders, enter into arrangements that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our product candidates, technologies or potential markets, file for bankruptcy or cease operations altogether. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, if we are unable to obtain additional funds on a timely basis, there will be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and increased risk of insolvency and loss of investment by our shareholders. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities could result in dilution to our existing shareholders. Our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and the recent disruptions to, and volatility in, financial markets in the United States and worldwide.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2023, we did not have off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to fair value of our convertible debt, the allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of intangible assets, recoverability of the carrying amounts of goodwill and intangible assets, share-based compensation and income tax provision. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Refer to Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2023.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

An evaluation was also performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter and that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. That evaluation did not identify any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our latest fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting; however, that evaluation is ongoing and because of its ongoing nature, there can be no assurance that we will not identify any change that would materially affect, or be reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,

and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are a party to certain litigation that is either judged to be not material or that arises in the ordinary course of business. We intend to vigorously defend our interests in these matters. We expect that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, due to the uncertainties inherent in litigation, no assurance can be given as to the outcome of these proceedings.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to a number of risks, including those identified in Item 1A of Part I of our 2022 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our 2022 Form 10-K.

Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On July 10, 2023, we entered into an amendment with Innoviva (the “First Amendment to Second A&R Voting Agreement”) to the Second Amended and Restated Voting Agreement (“Voting Agreement”), dated as of February 9, 2022, by and among us and Innoviva to extend the expiration date of the Voting Agreement to the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the effective date, or February 9, 2027, and the date of receipt of approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of any of our product candidates for marketing and commercial distribution.

Item 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.

Item 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
