Overview
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing TCE bispecific antibodies for solid tumors. Our goal is to build 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. We have an active IND for CTIM-76 with the FDA. We dosed the first patient in our CTIM-76 Phase 1 clinical trial in January 2025. We expect to share Phase 1a interim data for the CTIM-76 trial in June 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 Phase 1a interim data for the CT-95 trial in September 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, 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 submitted our application to the HREC in March 2026 to support the initiation of a first-in-human trial for CT-202. We expect to dose the first patient in our CT-202 Phase 1 trial in the third 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 $36.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $130.9 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, at the time of the Second Amendment, we were aware of issued patents in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions expiring in January 2034, and then in 2025 became aware of a patent that issued in the United States expiring in March 2042, in each instance that potentially covers certain parts of the intellectual property included in CTIM-76. While we believe we will have reasonable defenses against any potential claim of infringement, we may
61
Table of Contents
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. In October 2025, we achieved a $2.0 million development milestone under the BioAtla License Agreement, which we paid to BioAtla in the fourth quarter of 2025.
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,
62
Table of Contents
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 December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $66.0 million, which we expect will be sufficient to fund the estimated duration of the Phase 1a dose escalation portions of our CTIM-76 and CT-95 trials, the estimated expenses to initiate patient enrollment in a first-in-human trial for CT-202, as well as our operations into mid-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. 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. On October 24, 2025, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to Sales Agreement (the “Amendment”, and together with the ATM Sales Agreement, the “Amended ATM Sales Agreement”) to provide for an increase in the aggregate offering amount under the Amended ATM Sales Agreement, such that following the filing of a new prospectus supplement with respect to the ATM Shares on October 24, 2025, we may offer and sell ATM Shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $75.0 million, exclusive of ATM Shares previously sold in December 2024. The Agent will be entitled to a commission from the Company of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of ATM Shares sold under the Amended ATM Sales Agreement.
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. In September 2025, 2,178,200 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, resulting in the issuance of 2,174,983 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2025, 3,304,541 Pre-Funded Warrants remained outstanding.

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:
•expenses incurred to conduct the necessary discovery-stage laboratory work, preclinical studies and clinical trials required to obtain regulatory approval;
•personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits and share-based compensation expense for our employees and consultants engaged in research and development functions;
•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;
•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;
•fees paid to consultants who assist with research and development activities;
•license payments and acquisitions of acquired in-process research and development assets that have no alternative future use;
•expenses related to regulatory activities, including filing fees paid to regulatory agencies; and
•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
64
Table of Contents
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.

Operating expenses:
* Percentage not meaningful
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses increased by approximately $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024. The following table summarizes our research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024:
Year ended December 31,
CTIM-76 expenditures increased by $1.3 million, primarily due to an increase of $3.1 million in clinical costs as a result of continued progression of our ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $1.0 million in preclinical costs as a result of the completion of IND-enabling studies in early 2024 and a decrease of $0.8 million in contract manufacturing costs. CT-95 expense of $4.9 million for 2025 primarily represents$3.7 million in clinical costs and $1.2 million in preclinical, contract manufacturing, and diagnostic development expenses incurred. CT-95 expense of $4.9 million for 2024 primarily represents consideration paid of $3.75 million to acquire the asset from Link in July 2024 and approximately $1.1 million in other expenses, the majority of which was $0.6 million of clinical start up costs. CT-202 expense of $15.6 million for 2025 primarily represents $8.7 million incontract manufacturing costs, $4.7 million in preclinical expenses, and a $2.0 million
65
Table of Contents
expense related to achieving a development milestone under the BioAtla License Agreement.CT-202 expense of $11.2 million for 2024 primarily represents the $11.0 million consideration paid under the BioAtla License Agreement entered into in September 2024. Personnel-related costs, which include salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, increased by approximately $3.3 million, primarily due to higher headcount over the prior year as well as termination benefits incurred related to certain 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.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.6 million from $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $0.7 million increase in salaries and personnel-related costs, including share-based compensation, mainly due to higher headcount and compensation adjustments. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in professional fees of $0.1 million.
Interest Income
Interest income increased by approximately $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024, primarily due to additional interest earned from higher cash and cash equivalent balances following the Private Placement and other sales of common stock.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to other expense of $1,400 in 2024, primarily due to foreign currency gains in 2025 as a result of exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than our functional currency.
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 December 31, 2025, we have funded our operations through the sale of common stock, warrants, convertible debt and convertible preferred stock. As of December 31, 2025, we had $66.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of $130.9 million.
We expect our cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2025 to fund the estimated duration of the Phase 1a dose escalation portions of our CTIM-76 and CT-95 trials, the estimated expenses to initiate patient enrollment in a first-in-human trial for CT-202, as well as our operations into mid-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.
66
Table of Contents
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:
•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;
•the costs of manufacturing our current and any future product candidates for clinical trials and in preparation for regulatory approval and commercialization;
•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;
•the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims;
•the costs and fees associated with the discovery, acquisition or in-license of additional product candidates or technologies;
•expenses needed to attract and retain skilled personnel;
•costs associated with being a public company;
•the costs required to scale up our clinical, regulatory and manufacturing capabilities;
•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
•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.

Cash Flows
The following table shows a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:
Year ended December 31,
Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
Operating Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we used $26.4 million of cash in operating activities. Cash used in operating activities reflected our net loss of $36.1 million, partially offset by a net change in our operating assets and liabilities of $6.3 million, in-process research and development charges of $2.0 million, and non-cash share-based compensation of $1.3 million. The primary uses of cash were to fund our operations related to the development of our product candidates.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we used $14.6 million of cash in operating activities. Cash used in operating activities reflected our net loss of $26.7 million and a net change in our operating assets and liabilities of $3.5 million, partially offset by in-process research and development charges of $14.8 million and non-cash share-based compensation of $0.8 million. The primary uses of cash were to fund our operations related to the development of our current and former product candidates.
Investing Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2025, cash used in investing activities was attributable to a payment of $2.0 million under the BioAtla License Agreement for the achievement of a development milestone for CT-202, and purchases of property and equipment totaling $34,000.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to a payment of $11.0 million under the BioAtla License Agreement for the development of CT-202 and a one-time payment of $3.75 million made to Link to acquire the assets associated with CT-95.
Financing Activities
During the year ended December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2024, financing activities provided $109.3 million, consisting of net proceeds of $94.8 million from the sale of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants in the Private Placement, as well as net proceeds of $14.5 million from the sale of common stock under our ATM Sales Agreement..
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
This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to prepaid/accrued research and development expenses and share-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors 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.
While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 3 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K, we believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Research and Development Expenses
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 in-process research and development, salaries, share-based compensation, and other operational costs related to our 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 us by our 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 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 we do not expect our estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, our 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.
Share-Based Compensation
We measure compensation expense for all share-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the share-based awards on the grant date. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value our share-based awards. We recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. We have not issued awards for which vesting is subject to market or performance conditions.
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions that include the expected stock price volatility and the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. See Note 7 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for information concerning certain of the specific assumptions we used in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of our awards granted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 3 to our audited consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-K for a description of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to our consolidated financial statements.
Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status
In April 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or 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 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 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 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 is 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.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Context Therapeutics Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CONTEXT THERAPEUTICS INC.
Notes to 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 $130.9 million as of December 31, 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 $66.0 million as of December 31, 2025 are sufficient to fund its projected operations for a period of at least 12 months from the issuance date of these 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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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”).
The 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.
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
77
Table of Contents
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 consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 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 consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying 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 statements of operations as net loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet 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 consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets, respectively.
The table below summarizes the significant expense categories regularly reviewed by the CODM for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Table of Contents
Year ended December 31,
Operating Expenses:
(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 December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $65.5 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 consolidated statements of operations. As of each of December 31, 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
79
Table of Contents
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 consolidated balance sheets. Operating 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 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 an investing activity outflow on the Company’s 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 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 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.
80
Table of Contents
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 the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies in addition to the Company's historical volatility information. Management 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 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.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which provides for deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit will more likely than not be realized. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position, as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. To date, the Company has not taken any uncertain tax position or recorded any reserves, interest or penalties. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are included within the provision for income tax.
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 outstanding 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:

beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption 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 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. During the year ended December 31, 2025, 2,178,200 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, resulting in the issuance of 2,174,983 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2025, 3,304,541 Pre-Funded Warrants remained outstanding. 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. On October 24, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Sales Agreement (the “Amendment”, and together with the ATM Sales Agreement, the “Amended ATM Sales Agreement”) to provide for an increase in the aggregate offering amount under the Amended ATM Sales Agreement, such that following the filing of a new prospectus supplement with respect to the ATM Shares on
83
Table of Contents
October 24, 2025, the Company may offer and sell ATM Shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $75.0 million, exclusive of ATM Shares previously sold in December 2024.
Warrants for Common Stock
At December 31, 2025, the Company had the following warrants outstanding to acquire common stock:
Outstanding Exercise price Expiration dates
Issued in connection with 2024 private placement 3,304,541 $ 0.001 No expiration
(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. On its initial effective date, the 2021 Incentive Plan allowed 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 December 31, 2025, 1,322,222 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 year ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted inducement stock options covering 389,000 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 10 years. The expiration dates of the outstanding share-based awards range from January 2028 to October 2035.
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 years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
Year ended December 31,

Table of Contents
The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock option awards granted during 2025 and 2024 were as follows:
Expected stock price volatility 111.98% 95.54%
Expected term (in years) 5.94 6.00
Risk-free interest rate 4.29% 4.13%
Expected dividend yield — —
As the Company began trading publicly in October 2021, there is a lack of Company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies in addition to the Company's historical volatility information. Additionally, due to an insufficient history with respect to stock option activity and post-vesting cancellations, the expected term assumption for employee grants is based on a permitted simplified method, which is based on the vesting period and contractual term for each tranche of awards. The mid-point between the weighted-average vesting term and the expiration date is used as the expected term under this method. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is zero based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The following table summarizes the share-based award activity for the periods presented:
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 years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0.65 and $1.19, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding share-based awards was $2.0 million and is expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.6 years.
(8) Commitments and Contingencies, including License Agreements
Operating Leases
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 terms upon at least nine months advance notice to the
85
Table of Contents
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. See Note 10 for further discussion.
As of December 31, 2025, the operating lease right-of-use asset and the operating lease liabilities were each approximately $0.1 million, which were estimated using a discount rate of 11%. As of December 31, 2025, the remaining term of the Company’s noncancellable operating lease was 0.92 years. Future minimum lease payments under the lease are $0.1 million at December 31, 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 $126,000 and $125,000 for the years ended December 31, 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. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company provided contributions of approximately $108,000 and $60,000, 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. 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 independently obtained research funding Integral applied against CTIM-76 research, and included mutual releases by the parties.

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 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 consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 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 consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 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. In October 2025, the Company achieved a $2.0 million development milestone under the BioAtla License Agreement which was expensed as a component of research and development expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. 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.
CTIM-76 and CT-202 Lonza License Agreements
The Company has obtained active pharmaceutical ingredients and drug product for its product candidates from several third-party contract manufacturers, including Lonza Sales AG (“Lonza Sales”) and Lonza AG (“Lonza AG”, and collectively with Lonza Sales, “Lonza”).
On November 7, 2022, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Lonza CTIM-76 License Agreement”) with Lonza Sales in connection with Lonza’s development and manufacturing services with respect to CTIM-76. Under the terms of the Lonza CTIM-76 License Agreement, to the extent Lonza’s technology is incorporated into CTIM-76, Lonza granted the Company a non-exclusive license to use certain proprietary Lonza intellectual property and systems for the Company to develop, manufacture and commercially exploit CTIM-76.
On November 3, 2025, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Lonza CT-202 License Agreement”) with Lonza Sales in connection with Lonza’s development and manufacturing services with respect to CT-202. Under the terms of the Lonza CT-202 License Agreement, to the extent Lonza’s technology is incorporated into CT-202, Lonza granted the Company a non-exclusive license to use certain proprietary Lonza intellectual property and systems for the Company to develop, manufacture and commercially exploit CT-202.
The Company shall pay certain royalties and annual payments to Lonza under the applicable license agreement with respect to the manufacturing and sale of CTIM-76 or CT-202, as applicable, which amounts shall be

determined by the party manufacturing CTIM-76 or CT-202, as applicable, and ranges from a potential annual payment of up to less than $500,000 per asset and a royalty per asset on net sales from 0% up to a low single digit percentage. Under each respective license agreement, the royalty payments and annual payments would be reduced per asset in certain circumstances, including should the valid claims for any such patent rights not exist in the country in which CTIM-76 or CT-202, as applicable, is being sold, and the royalty payments per asset would expire upon the later of the expiration of the licensed patents in the country in which CTIM-76 or CT-202, as applicable, is being sold, the expiration of the licensed patents in the country in which CTIM-76 or CT-202, as applicable, is being manufactured, and 10 years from the first commercial sales of CTIM-76 or CT-202, as applicable, in such country of sale.
The Lonza CTIM-76 License Agreement and the Lonza CT-202 License Agreement each continue until respectively terminated. The Company or Lonza may terminate either the Lonza CTIM-76 License Agreement or the Lonza CT-202 License Agreement, as applicable, for uncured material breaches or insolvency of the other party. The Company can unilaterally terminate the Lonza CTIM-76 License Agreement or the Lonza CT-202 License Agreement with prior written notice to Lonza, and Lonza can also unilaterally terminate the Lonza CTIM-76 License Agreement or the Lonza CT-202 License Agreement upon certain actions by the Company.
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 mayrequire upfront payments and long-term commitments of cash.
Litigation
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes no matters at either December 31, 2025 or 2024 that will have a material impact to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 10 for further discussion.
Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that may include indemnification provisions. Pursuant to such agreements, the Company may indemnify, hold harmless and defend an indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party. Some of the provisions will limit losses to those arising from third-party actions. In some cases, the indemnification will continue after the termination of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these provisions is not determinable. The Company has never incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Company currently has directors and officers insurance. The Company is not aware of any claims under indemnification arrangements, and it has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
(9) Income Taxes
The Company is a corporation and is subject to federal, state and local corporate income taxes which have been provided for in the consolidated financial statements based upon ASC 740. Context BioPharma, Inc. has always been subject to corporate income taxes.
The Company had no income tax expense due to operating losses incurred for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company had also not recorded any income tax benefits for the net operating losses incurred in

Table of Contents
each period due to its uncertainty of realizing a benefit from those items. All of the Company’s losses before income taxes were generated in the United States.
In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was signed into law. The OBBBA makes the following changes to the U.S. tax code: restores bonus depreciation to 100% for all qualified assets placed in service after January 19, 2025, allows for the option to expense all domestic research and experimental expenditures for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, allows for the option to recaptures all unamortized domestic research and experimental expenditures from prior years, changes the adjusted taxable income formula for interest expense limitation to include depreciation and amortization expense. The provisions of the OBBBA became effective for the Company during the year ended December 31, 2025.
The tax effects of temporary differences that gave rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows:

In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management must determine that there will be sufficient taxable income to allow for the realization of deferred tax assets. Based upon the historical and anticipated future losses, management has determined that the deferred tax assets do not meet the more likely than not threshold for realizability. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The valuation allowance increased by $11.1 million and $8.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

A reconciliation of the federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:

(a) State taxes in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Philadelphia made up the majority (greater than 50 percent) of the tax effect in this category for 2025 and 2024.
The following table summarizes carryforwards of federal, state and local net operating losses (“NOL”) and research tax credits:
December 31,
The NOL carryforwards begin expiring in 2037 for federal and state income tax purposes; however, all federal NOL carryforwards generated subsequent to January 1, 2018 are able to be carried forward indefinitely. Local NOL carryforwards expire after three years with the 2023 NOL set to expire in 2026. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of $2.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, that will begin to expire in 2037, unless previously utilized.
The NOL and tax credit carryforwards are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities. NOL and tax credit carryforwards may become subject to an annual limitation in the event of certain cumulative changes in the ownership interest of significant stockholders over a three-year period in excess of 50%, as defined under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, respectively, as well as similar state provisions. This could limit the amount of tax attributes that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities. The amount of the annual limitation is determined based on the value of the Company immediately prior to the ownership change. Subsequent ownership changes may further affect the limitation in future years. To date, the Company has not performed an analysis to determine whether or not ownership changes have occurred since inception. State and local NOLs may also be limited.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions and no amounts have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Due to NOLs and tax credit carryforwards that remain unutilized, income tax returns for tax years from all years remain subject to examination by the taxing jurisdictions. The NOL carryforwards remain subject to review until utilized.
(10) Subsequent Events
In January 2026, the Company further amended its lease for corporate office space in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that it initially entered into in March 2023 in order to obtain additional office space and to renew the lease for one additional successive one-year period that expires on November 30, 2026. The Company also retains
90
Table of Contents
the right to renew the lease for and additional 12-month term upon at least nine months advance notice to the landlord, including the right to remove the additional office space from that renewal.
On February 4, 2026, the Vladimir Gusinsky Revocable Trust filed a stockholder class action complaint (the “Action”) against the Company and its directors in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court”) asserting that (i) Article V, Section 2 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), provides for a full term of three years for directors in violation of Section 211(b) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and (ii) Article VI, Section 1 of the Certificate of Incorporation limits removal of directors only for cause in violation of Section 141(k) of the DGCL.
On February 24, 2026, a stipulation and proposed consent judgment (the “Stipulated Judgment”) was filed with the Court regarding the Action, and on March 11, 2026, the Court approved the Stipulated Judgment, pursuant to which Article V, Section 2 and Article VI, Section 1 of the Certificate of Incorporation were determined to be invalid and unenforceable. On March 11, 2026, the Company filed a Certificate of Correction with the Delaware Secretary of State reflecting such provisions as invalid, unenforceable and no longer part of the Certificate of Incorporation. Accordingly, the term of office of the current members of the Company’s Board of Directors will expire at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, with each serving until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. In addition, directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.
On March 11, 2026, pursuant to the Stipulated Judgment, the Action was dismissed with prejudice with respect to the plaintiff; however, the Court retains jurisdiction to address any mootness fee application.
The Company does not believe this matter will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of our Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
As of December 31, 2025, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
