Overview

We are a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company developing novel product candidates to treat brain health disorders. Our mission is to forge a new era of psychiatry by applying scientific rigor to psychedelics, with the goal of developing accessible treatments that unlock healing at scale. This specifically includes pharmaceutically optimized product candidates derived from the psychedelic and empathogen drug classes including DT120 and DT402, our lead product candidates.

Our lead product candidate, DT120 ODT, is a proprietary, pharmaceutically optimized form of lysergide D-tartrate that we are developing for the treatment of adults with generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder. In December 2023, we announced positive topline results from our Phase 2b clinical trial of DT120 for the treatment of GAD. The trial met its primary endpoint, with DT120 demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful dose-dependent improvements on the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale ("HAM-A") compared to placebo at Week 4. In March 2024, we announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") granted breakthrough designation to our DT120 program for the treatment of GAD. We also announced in March 2024 that our Phase 2b clinical trial of DT120 in GAD met its key secondary endpoint, and 12-week topline data demonstrated clinically and statistically significant durability of activity observed through Week 12. In September 2025, we announced that the full results from our Phase 2b clinical trial of DT120 in GAD had been published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

On June 20, 2024, we announced the completion of our End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA, supporting the advancement of DT120 into pivotal trials for the treatment of adults with GAD. Our Phase 3 clinical program for DT120 ODT is expected to consist of two clinical trials: the Voyage study (DT120-300) and the Panorama study (DT120-301). Both trials are comprised of two parts: Part A, which is a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial assessing the efficacy and safety of DT120 ODT versus placebo; and Part B, which is a 40-week extension period during which participants will be eligible for open-label treatment with DT120 ODT, subject to certain conditions for treatment eligibility. Voyage is anticipated to enroll approximately 200 participants (randomized 1:1 to receive DT120 ODT 100 μg or placebo) and Panorama is anticipated to enroll approximately 250 participants (randomized 2:1:2 to receive DT120 ODT 100 μg, DT120 ODT 50 μg or placebo). Both trials use an adaptive trial design with a blinded interim sample size re-estimation (“SSRE”), allowing for an increase in sample size by up to 50% in each trial depending on the observed values for certain nuisance parameters. The SSRE for Voyage has been completed and it was determined that no increase in the sample size of the trial is required. The primary endpoint for each trial is the change from baseline in HAM-A score at Week 12 between DT120 ODT 100 μg and placebo. In December 2024, we announced the initiation of Voyage, and we anticipate a topline readout (Part A results) in early third quarter 2026. On January 2025, we announced the initiation of Panorama, with an anticipated topline readout (Part A results) in the second half of 2026.

In addition to our Phase 3 clinical program for GAD, we are developing DT120 ODT for the treatment of adults with MDD. In the first quarter of 2024, we held a pre-IND meeting with FDA to discuss the initiation of our Phase 3 clinical program for DT120 ODT in MDD and the trial design for the Emerge study (DT120-310), which like our pivotal trials in GAD, we anticipate will be comprised of two parts: Part A, which is a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial assessing the efficacy and safety of DT120 ODT versus placebo; and Part B, which is a 40-week extension period during which participants will be eligible for open-label treatment with DT120 ODT, subject to certain conditions for treatment eligibility. Emerge is fully enrolled with 149 participants randomized 1:1 to receive DT120 ODT 100 μg or placebo. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline in Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale ("MADRS") score at Week 6 between DT120 ODT 100 μg and placebo. In April 2025, we announced the initiation of Emerge, and we anticipate a topline readout (Part A results) in late second quarter 2026.

97

We activated initial sites in our second Phase 3 clinical trial of DT120 ODT in MDD, Ascend (DT120-311), in the first quarter of 2026 and we expect to dose our first patient in this trial by early second quarter 2026. Ascend has a similar design to Emerge, with a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group design assessing the efficacy and safety of DT120 ODT versus placebo (Part A); and Part B, which includes a 40-week extension period during which participants will be eligible for open-label treatment with DT120 ODT. Ascend is anticipated to enroll approximately 175 participants (randomized 2:1:2 to receive DT120 ODT 100 μg, DT120 ODT 50 μg or placebo). The primary endpoint is the change from baseline in MADRS score at Week 6 between DT120 ODT 100 μg and placebo.

Our second lead product candidate, DT402, also referred to as R(-)-MDMA, is our proprietary form of the R-enantiomer of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, which we are developing for the treatment of adults with ASD. MDMA is a synthetic molecule that is often referred to as an empathogen because it is reported to increase feelings of connectedness and compassion. Preclinical studies of R(-)-MDMA demonstrated its acute pro-social and empathogenic effects, while its diminished dopaminergic activity suggests that it has the potential to exhibit less stimulant activity, neurotoxicity, hyperthermia and abuse liability compared to racemic MDMA or the S(+)-enantiomer. In October 2024, we completed our first clinical trial of DT402, a single-ascending dose trial in adult healthy volunteers. The data from this Phase 1 clinical trial helped to characterize the tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of DT402.

We initiated a Phase 2a trial of DT402 in ASD in the fourth quarter of 2025. This study is a single-dose, open-label study to assess early signals of efficacy of DT402 in treating core socialization and communication symptoms in adults with ASD. This study is anticipated to enroll up to 20 participants. The objectives and endpoints of the study are designed to characterize the pharmacodynamics and clinical effects of DT402 in adults with ASD, including on multiple functional biomarkers. We anticipate initial data from our Phase 2a study in 2026.

Beyond our clinical stage product candidates, we are exploring additional programs, including through external collaborations, which we seek to expand our drug development pipeline and broaden the potential applications of our lead product candidates. These research and development programs include non-clinical, pre-clinical and human clinical trials of current and new product candidates and research compounds with our collaborators.

Our business is premised on a growing body of research supporting the use of novel psychoactive compounds to treat a myriad of brain health disorders. For all product candidates, we intend to proceed through research and development, and with marketing of the product candidates that may ultimately be approved pursuant to the regulations of the FDA and the regulations in other jurisdictions. This entails, among other things, conducting clinical trials with research scientists, using internal and external clinical drug development teams, producing and supplying product candidates according to current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”), and conducting all trials and development in accordance with the regulations of the FDA, and other regulations in other jurisdictions.

On January 9, 2026, we changed our corporate name from Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. to Definium Therapeutics, Inc. On January 12, 2026, we changed the name of our wholly-owned subsidiary from Mind Medicine, Inc. to Definium Therapeutics US, Inc. In connection with our name change, we began trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “DFTX” on January 15, 2026.

We were incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia in 2010. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Definium Therapeutics US, Inc. (“Definium US”), was incorporated in Delaware in 2019. Prior to February 27, 2020, our operations were conducted through Definium US.

Since inception, we have incurred losses while advancing the research and development of our products and processes. Our net losses were $183.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, and $108.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $582.7 million and cash, cash equivalents and investments of $411.6 million.

Components of Operating Results

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

Research and development expenses account for a significant portion of our operating expenses. Research and development expenses consist primarily of direct and indirect costs incurred for the development of our product candidates.

98

External expenses include:

payments to third parties in connection with the clinical development of our product candidates, including licensing fees and fees to contract research organizations and consultants;

the cost of manufacturing products for use in our preclinical studies and clinical trials, including payments to contract manufacturing organizations and consultants;

payments to third parties in connection with the preclinical development of our product candidates, including outsourced professional scientific development services, consulting research fees and sponsored research arrangements with third parties; and

allocated operational expenses, which include direct or allocated expenses for information technologies and human resources.

We may also incur in-process research and development expenses as we acquire or in-license assets from other parties. Technology acquisitions are expensed or capitalized based upon the asset achieving technological feasibility in accordance with management’s assessment regarding the ultimate recoverability of the amounts paid and the potential for alternative future use. Acquired in-process research and development costs that have no alternative future use are immediately expensed.

Internal expenses include employee-related costs such as salaries, related benefits and non-cash stock-based compensation expense for employees engaged in research and development functions.

We expect our research and development expenses to increase in 2026 as we continue the clinical development of our product candidates and other preclinical programs in GAD and MDD and other potential or future indications, including initiating additional and larger clinical trials.

We expense research and development costs in the periods in which they are incurred. External expenses are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information provided to us by our service providers or our estimate of the level of service that has been performed at each reporting date. We track external costs by program, clinical or preclinical. We do not track internal costs by program because these costs are deployed across multiple programs and, as such, are not separately classified.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation costs, including stock-based compensation, for executive management and administrative employees, including finance and accounting, legal, human resources and other administrative functions, professional services fees, advisory and professional service fees in connection with financing transactions, insurance expenses, costs to support our commercialization efforts and allocated expenses.

We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to advance our research and development programs, grow our business and, if any of our product candidates receive marketing approval, commence commercialization activities.

* DT120 other consists of expenses that support the broader DT120 program, including nonclinical studies and consulting expenses.

Research and development expenses increased by $52.4 million, or 80%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $44.7 million in expenses related to our DT120 program which has ongoing pivotal trials for the treatment of adults with GAD and MDD. Additionally, there was an increase of $9.3 million in internal personnel costs as a result of increasing research and development capacities and an increase of $0.4 million in preclinical and other program expenses. Such expenses were partially offset by a decrease of $2.0 million in expenses related to our DT402 program driven primarily by lower expenses while we worked on the commencement of our Phase 2a trial which initiated in the fourth quarter of 2025.

100

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased by $10.0 million, or 26%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $6.0 million in professional services and pre-commercialization activities, an increase of $3.6 million in internal personnel costs to support expanded operational activities, an increase of $0.7 million in directors' deferred share unit ("DDSU") expenses due to an increase in the stock price year over year, and $0.5 million in miscellaneous general and administrative expenses, offset by a decrease of $0.8 million in legal and patent related expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Income

Interest income decreased by $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower average interest rates in 2025 versus 2024.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Interest expense is primarily related to our credit facility entered into in August 2023 and amended in April 2025. Interest expense in 2025 was higher than 2024 due to a larger outstanding balance on the credit facility and a $1.7 million final payment associated with the amendment.

Foreign Exchange Loss, Net

Foreign exchange loss decreased by $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, the decrease was primarily due to favorable changes in foreign exchange rates during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Change in fair value of 2022 USD Financing Warrants

Revaluation loss on the 2022 USD Financing Warrants liability was $22.8 million and $15.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Change in fair value of 2022 USD Financing Warrants consists of revaluation gains and losses attributed to the change in the fair value of our 2022 USD Financing Warrants that were issued as part of our public equity offering which closed on September 30, 2022. Losses primarily reflect higher share prices and accordingly, increased warrant liability values, at the applicable year ends.

Gain on extinguishment of contribution payable

Gain on extinguishment of contribution payable was $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. In June 2024, we made a lump sum payment of $0.3 million in full satisfaction of our remaining obligations of the contribution payable liability. As a result, both parties were subsequently released from any further commitments from the agreement. The difference between the fair value of the lump sum payment of $0.3 million, and the carrying value of the contribution payable prior to the settlement of $2.8 million, resulted in the gain on extinguishment of $2.5 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily from the issuance of equity and our Amended Loan Agreement. Our primary capital needs are for funds to support our scientific research and development activities including staffing, manufacturing, preclinical studies, clinical trials, pre-commercialization activities, administrative costs and for working capital.

We have experienced operating losses and cash outflows from operations since inception and will require ongoing financing in order to continue our research and development activities. We have not earned any revenue or reached successful commercialization of our product candidates. Our future operations are dependent upon our ability to finance our cash requirements, which will allow us to continue our research and development activities and the commercialization of our product candidates, if approved. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in continuing to finance our operations.

101

Our cash, cash equivalents and investments and our working capital at December 31, 2025 was $411.6 million and $352.6 million, respectively. Based on our current operating plan and anticipated R&D milestones, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents and investments as of December 31, 2025 will be sufficient to fund our operations into 2028.

On August 11, 2023, we entered into the Loan Agreement with K2HV as administrative agent and Canadian collateral agent for lenders thereunder, and Ankura Trust Company, LLC, as collateral trustee for the Lenders, providing for an aggregate principal amount of term loans of up to $50.0 million. On April 18, 2025, we entered into the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement with K2HV. The Amended Loan Agreement provides for, among other things, an aggregate principal amount of term loans of up to $120.0 million, consisting of (A) a new Restatement First Tranche Term Loan (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) of $42.0 million, which was funded on the Effective Date, a portion of the proceeds of which was used on the Effective Date to refinance in full all term loans outstanding under the original Loan Agreement, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Amended Loan Agreement and the refinancing of the existing term loans, (B) subsequent tranches of term loans totaling up to $28.0 million, subject to the occurrence of certain time-based clinical and regulatory milestones and (C) an additional tranche of term loans of up to $50.0 million upon our request, subject to review by the Lenders of certain information from us and discretionary approval by the Lenders.

On March 7, 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Leerink Partners LLC and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as representatives of the underwriters named therein, in connection with the issuance and sale by us in an underwritten offering (the “March 2024 Offering”) of 16,666,667 of our common shares at an offering price of $6.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions.

The net proceeds from the March 2024 Offering were approximately $93.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us.

On March 7, 2024, we also entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which the Investors agreed to purchase, and we agreed to sell 12,500,000 of our common shares at a price of $6.00 per share, in a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement”).

The net proceeds from the Private Placement were approximately $70.1 million, after deducting fees and expenses payable by us.

The March 2024 Offering and the Private Placement both closed on March 11, 2024.

On June 28, 2024, we entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Leerink Partners LLC (the “Agent”) to create an at-the-market equity program under which we from time to time may offer and sell the ATM Shares (as defined below), through or to the Agent. We filed a prospectus supplement on June 28, 2024 allowing for up to $150.0 million of Common Shares (the "ATM Shares") to be sold under the Sales Agreement.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the ATM Shares from time to time, based upon our instructions. The Agent will be entitled to a commission of up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of the ATM Shares effectuated through or to the Agent.

We have not sold any Common Shares under the 2024 ATM as of December 31, 2025. We have no obligation to sell any of the ATM Shares and may at any time suspend offers under the Sales Agreement or terminate the Sales Agreement.

On August 9, 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Leerink Partners LLC and Evercore Group L.L.C., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, in connection with an offering of (i) our common shares, and (ii) to certain investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase our common shares. The offering price for the common shares was $7.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions (the “August 2024 Offering”). The offering price for the pre-funded warrants was $6.999 per pre-funded warrant, which represents the per share public offering price for the common shares less a $0.001 per share exercise price for each such pre-funded warrant.

The net proceeds from the August 2024 Offering were approximately $70.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by us. The August 2024 Offering closed on August 12, 2024.

On October 29, 2025, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC, Leerink Partners LLC and Evercore Group L.L.C., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, in connection with an underwritten public offering (the “October 2025 Offering”) of 18,375,000 Common Shares, at an offering price of $12.25 per Common Share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. In addition, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, we granted the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 2,756,250 Common Shares at the same price, which was

102

exercised by the underwriters in full on October 30, 2025.

The net proceeds from the October 2025 Offering were approximately $242.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. The October 2025 Offering closed on October 31, 2025.

Future Funding Requirements

To date, we have not generated any revenue. We do not expect to generate any meaningful revenue unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize any of our product candidates, and we do not know when, or if at all, that will occur. We will continue to require substantial additional capital to develop our product candidates and fund operations for the foreseeable future. Moreover, we expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue the development of and seek regulatory approvals for our product candidates. Further, we are subject to all the risks incident in the development of new pharmaceutical products, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may harm our business. Our expenses will increase if, and as, we:

advance our product candidates through preclinical and clinical development;

seek regulatory approvals for any product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials;

seek to identify, discover and develop additional product candidates, either internally through our research and development efforts or externally through acquisitions, licensing or other collaboration agreements;

establish a sales, marketing, medical affairs and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any product candidates for which we may obtain marketing approval and intend to commercialize on our own or jointly; and

expand our operational, financial and management systems and increase personnel, including personnel to support our development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and our operations as a public company.

Based on our current operating plan and anticipated R&D milestones, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents and investments as of December 31, 2025 will be sufficient to fund our operations into 2028. However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. In order to complete the development of our product candidates and to build the sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure that we believe will be necessary to commercialize our product candidates, if approved, we will require substantial additional funding. Until we can generate a sufficient amount of revenue from the commercialization of our product candidates, we may seek to raise any necessary additional capital through the sale of equity, debt financings or other capital sources, which could include income from collaborations, strategic partnerships or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties or from grants. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our shareholders will be or could be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common shareholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, including restricting our operations and limiting our ability to incur liens, issue additional debt, pay dividends, repurchase our common shares, make certain investments or engage in merger, consolidation, licensing or asset sale transactions. If we raise funds through collaborations, strategic partnerships and other similar arrangements with third parties, we may be required to grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such agreements or arrangements on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development or future commercialization efforts. We have based our projections of operating capital requirements on our current operating plan, which is based on several assumptions that may prove to be incorrect and we may use all of our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of product candidates, we are unable to estimate the exact amount and timing of our working capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:

the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing our product candidates, and conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials;

the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates, and any delays we may encounter;

the outcome and timing of any scheduling related-decisions by the DEA, individual states, and comparable foreign authorities;

103

the costs of future activities, including building a commercial organization, product sales, medical affairs, sales and marketing capabilities, manufacturing and distribution, for any of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;

the costs of manufacturing commercial-grade products and sufficient inventory to support commercial launch;

the costs of training and certifying healthcare practitioners who are supporting or will support our clinical trials;

the revenue, if any, received from commercial sale of our products, should any of our product candidates receive marketing approval;

the cost and timing of hiring new employees to support our continued growth;

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

the ability to establish and maintain collaborations on favorable terms, if at all;

the extent to which we acquire or in-license other product candidates and technologies; and

the timing, receipt and amount of sales of, or milestone payments related to or royalties on, our product candidates.

Contractual Obligations and Contingencies

We enter into research, development and license agreements in the ordinary course of business where we receive research services and rights to proprietary technologies. Milestone and royalty payments that may become due under various agreements are dependent on, among other factors, clinical trials, regulatory approvals and ultimately the successful development of a new drug, the outcome and timing of which is uncertain.

We periodically enter into research and license agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions customary in the industry. These indemnities generally require us to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of claims arising from research and development activities undertaken by us or on our behalf. In some cases, the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required under these indemnification provisions could be unlimited. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The nature of the indemnification obligations prevents us from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount we could be required to pay. Historically, we have not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in our financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and related disclosures. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report, we believe the following accounting policies are the most critical for fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain of our assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

105

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity).

The Amended Loan Agreement bears variable interest rates, and the carrying amount of the Amended Loan Agreement approximates fair value because interest rates approximate the current rates available to us.

The 2022 USD Financing Warrants (as defined in Note 8 in the notes to our annual financial statements) are liability classified due to not meeting the criteria for equity treatment under the guidance in ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the 2022 USD Financing Warrants were recognized at fair value upon issuance and are remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any change in fair value is recognized in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations. Issuance costs related to warrants were expensed within general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

Accrued Clinical Trial Costs and Other Research and Development Expenses

As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, we are required to estimate our accrued clinical trial costs and other research and development expenses as of each balance sheet date. This process involves reviewing open contracts and purchase orders, communicating with our personnel to identify services that have been performed on our behalf and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for the service when we have not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of actual costs. The majority of our service providers invoice us in arrears for services performed, based on a pre-determined schedule or when contractual milestones are met, but some require advance payments. We make estimates of our accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date in the financial statements based on facts and circumstances known to us at that time. If timelines or contracts are modified based upon changes in the protocol or scope of work to be performed, we modify our estimates and accruals accordingly on a prospective basis.

We base our expenses related to external clinical trial costs and other research and development services on our estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to quotes and contracts with vendors that conduct research and development on our behalf. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation, vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. There may be instances in which payments made to our vendors will exceed the level of services provided and result in a prepayment of the expense. In accruing service fees, we estimate the time period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from the estimate, we adjust the accrual or the amount of prepaid expenses accordingly.

Although we do not expect our estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, our understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period. To date, there have not been any material differences between our estimates of such expenses and the amounts actually incurred.

As of December 31, 2025, a hypothetical 10.0 percent increase in our liability for accrued clinical trial costs and research and development expenses would have resulted in an increase to our net loss of approximately $1.0 million.

Share-Based Payments

When equity-settled share payments are awarded to management, employees and consultants, the fair value of the equity instruments at the date of grant is charged to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss over the vesting period. When the terms and conditions are modified before they vest, any increase in the fair value of the shares, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

We recognize stock-based compensation expense for stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and account for forfeitures as they occur. Our stock-based compensation costs are based upon the grant date fair value of options estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

This model utilizes inputs which are highly subjective assumptions and generally require significant judgment. These assumptions include:

Fair value of common shares— The fair value of our common shares is determined based upon the closing price of our common shares one day prior to grant.

106

Expected volatility—Due to our limited operating history and a lack of company-specific historical and implied volatility data, we have based our estimate of expected volatility on the historical volatility of a group of similar companies that are publicly traded. The peer group was developed based on companies in the biotechnology industry. We will continue to apply this process until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of our own stock price becomes available.

Risk-free interest rate—The risk-free rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments with maturities similar to the expected term of our stock options.

Expected life—The expected term represents the period that the stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. We have opted to use the “simplified method” for estimating the expected term of options, whereby the expected term equals the arithmetic average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the option, which is generally between 5 to 10 years.

Dividend yield—We base the expected dividend yield assumption on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and have no present intention to pay cash dividends and, therefore, used an expected dividend yield of zero.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for information about recent accounting pronouncements, the timing of their adoption, and our assessment, to the extent we have made one yet, of their potential impact on our financial condition of results of operations.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

We have elected to use this extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. 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.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a "smaller reporting company" as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

Definium Therapeutics, Inc.:

Opinion on theConsolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Definium Therapeutics, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, 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 each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 of 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Definium Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Definium”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Its wholly owned subsidiaries, Definium Therapeutics US, Inc. (“Definium US”) and HealthMode, Inc. are both incorporated in Delaware. Definium US was incorporated on May 30, 2019.

On January 9, 2026, the Company changed its corporate name from Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. to Definium Therapeutics, Inc. On January 12, 2026, the Company changed the name of its wholly-owned subsidiary from Mind Medicine, Inc. to Definium Therapeutics US, Inc.

Definium is a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company developing novel product candidates to treat brain health disorders. The Company's mission is to forge a new era of psychiatry by applying scientific rigor to psychedelics, with the goal of developing accessible treatments that unlock healing at scale. This specifically includes pharmaceutically optimized product candidates derived from the psychedelic and empathogen drug classes including DT120 and DT402, the Company's lead product candidates.

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $582.7 million. Through December 31, 2025, the Company’s financial support has primarily been provided by proceeds from the issuance of its common shares, no par value per share (“Common Shares”), warrants to purchase Common Shares, and the Company’s credit facility.

As the Company continues its expansion, it may seek additional financing and/or strategic investments; however, there can be no assurance that any additional financing or strategic investments will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. If events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not obtain additional funding, it will most likely be required to reduce its plans and/or certain discretionary spending, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if it were unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that it has sufficient working capital on hand to fund operations through at least the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, and as a result of this election, the consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) standards’ effective dates. The Company may take advantage of these exemptions up until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the first sale of its common equity securities under an effective Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") registration statement, which is expected to be on December 31, 2026, or such earlier time that it is no longer an emerging growth company.

BASIS OF pRESENTATION AND Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and as amended by Accounting Standards Updates of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

F-8

Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the valuation, accrual for research and development costs, and the fair value of share-based awards and warrants. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of U.S. federally insured limits and invests in short-term investments with the primary objectives of seeking to preserve principal, achieve liquidity requirements and safeguard funds. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held and the nature, including the credit-ratings, of its short-term investments.

Foreign Currency

Prior to April 1, 2024, the Company’s functional currency was the Canadian dollar (“CAD”). Translation gains and losses from the application of the U.S. dollar (“USD”) as the reporting currency during the period that the Canadian dollar was the functional currency were included as part of cumulative currency translation adjustment, which is reported as a component of shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income.

Following the Company’s voluntary delisting from Cboe Canada effective April 10, 2024, the Company reassessed its functional currency and determined that, as of April 1, 2024, its functional currency had changed from the CAD to the USD.

For periods commencing April 1, 2024, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than USD are remeasured at period-end using the period-end exchange rate. Opening balances related to non-monetary assets and liabilities are based on prior period translated amounts, and non-monetary assets acquired, and non-monetary liabilities incurred after April 1, 2024, are translated at the approximate exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during the fiscal year. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Segments

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one segment. The Company has determined that its Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for purposes of segment reporting.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all investments with an original maturity date at the time of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash equivalents consisted of U.S. government money market funds at a high-credit quality and U.S. federally insured financial institution. The Company’s accounts may, at times, exceed U.S. federally insured limits. The Company had cash equivalents of $255.3 million and $271.5 million as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Short-Term Investments

All investments are carried at fair value as determined based upon quoted market prices or pricing models for similar securities at

F-9

period end. The Company has classified these investments as available-for-sale securities, as the sale of such investments may be required prior to maturity to implement management strategies, and therefore has classified all investments with maturity dates beyond three months at the date of purchase as current assets in the accompanying balance sheets. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The Company reviews its portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities, using both quantitative and qualitative factors, to determine if declines in fair value below cost have resulted from a credit-related loss or other factors. If the decline in fair value is due to credit-related factors, a loss is recognized in statements of operations, whereas if the decline in fair value is not due to credit-related factors, the loss is recorded in other comprehensive loss. The fair value of the Company's investments was $153.8 million as of December 31, 2025. The Company had no investments as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has not recognized any impairment charges related to its investments.

Liability Classified Warrants (2022 USD Financing Warrants)

In September 2022, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 7,058,823 Common Shares and accompanying 2022 USD Financing Warrants to purchase 7,058,823 Common Shares. Each 2022 USD Financing Warrant is immediately exercisable for one Common Share at an initial exercise price of $4.25 per Common Share, subject to certain adjustments, and will expire in September 2027. These warrants are liability classified due to not meeting the criteria for equity treatment under the guidance in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815-40). Accordingly, the 2022 USD Financing Warrants were recognized at fair value upon issuance and are remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any change in fair value is recognized on the consolidated statements of operations.

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses

R&D expenses are expensed in the periods in which they are incurred. External expenses consist primarily of payments to contract research organizations, outside consultants and other third parties in connection with the Company’s discovery, preclinical and clinical activities, process development, manufacturing activities, regulatory and other services. Certain R&D external expenses are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information provided to the Company by its service providers or the estimate of the level of service that has been performed at each reporting date. R&D expenses amounted to $117.7 million and $65.3 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Stock-Based Compensation

In February 2020, the Company adopted the Stock Option Plan (as amended and restated, the "2020 Stock Option Plan") and the Restricted Share Unit Plan (as amended and restated, the “2020 PRSU Plan”, and together with the 2020 Stock Option Plan, the “Prior Plans”), and subsequently, in June 2025, adopted the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2025 Plan"). The 2020 Stock Option Plan, the 2020 PRSU Plan and 2025 Plan were approved by the Company's shareholders. The 2020 Option Plan and 2020 PRSU Plan were retired effective March 24, 2025. Under the 2025 Plan and the Prior Plans, awards are measured at fair value and recognized over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are accounted for in the period they occur. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock-based award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including expected volatility of the underlying stock, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, and expected term of the option. The expected volatility of stock options is based upon the historical volatility of a number of publicly traded companies in similar stages of clinical development.

In June 2024, the Company adopted the Definium Therapeutics, Inc. Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP was approved by the Company’s shareholders. The fair value of Common Shares to be issued under the ESPP is also estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes net deferred tax assets to the extent that the Company believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals

F-10

of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If management determines that the Company would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, management would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby (i) management determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, management recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. Any accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability. To date, there have been no interest charges or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of Common Shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period.

Typically, when the Company reports a net loss for the period, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same, as the inclusion of potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive. However, in periods in which there is a gain on the fair value of the 2022 USD warrants, which are classified as liability-classified warrants, the gain is included in the numerator and the related incremental shares are included in the denominator for the calculation of diluted net loss per share, if the impact is dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders (in thousands, except share and per share amounts). As the exercise price of the Company’s pre-funded warrants is $0.001 per share, it was determined to be non-substantive for accounting purposes and the weighted-average pre-funded warrants were included the denominator of both basic and diluted EPS:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments require additional disaggregation of income tax expense and income taxes paid by jurisdiction, among other disclosure requirements. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 effective January 1, 2025. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) which requires public entities to provide additional disclosures about certain expense categories in the income statement. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. As an emerging growth company, the Company is currently evaluating the timing and impact of adoption, including the potential effect of losing emerging growth company status as of December 31, 2026. The Company expects the amendments to primarily impact the presentation and disclosure of research and development and general and administrative expenses.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

F-12

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity).

The Company's credit facility bears variable interest rates, and the carrying amount of the Company's credit facility approximates fair value because interest rates approximate the current rates available to the Company.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands) and the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized. The Company classifies its assets and liabilities as either short- or long-term based on maturity and anticipated realization dates.

There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company's cash equivalents includes a U.S. government money market fund which invests in highly liquid securities that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities, and are measured at fair value in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.

The Company's U.S. agency bonds are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using observable inputs, including market yields and spreads, in the absence of active market quotes for identical securities.

The fair value of the warrant liability is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The 2022 USD Financing Warrants (as defined below in Note 8) are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

As of December 31,

GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations. The recognition of goodwill represents the strategic and synergistic benefits the Company expects to realize from acquisitions.

Goodwill is not amortized to earnings, rather, it is assessed for impairment annually during the fourth quarter for its single reporting unit. The Company also performs an assessment at other times if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. When impairment indicators are identified, the Company compares the reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying amount, including goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized as the difference, if any, between the reporting unit’s carrying amount and its fair value, to the extent the difference does not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

In conducting the annual impairment test, the Company first reviews qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If factors indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative assessment is performed and the fair value of the reporting unit is determined by analyzing the total fair value of equity compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value of the reporting unit continues to exceed its fair value, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is calculated and an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded. No impairment charges have been recorded during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company has made no additions to its outstanding goodwill.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Prior to March 14, 2025, the Company was authorized to issue a number of equity awards equal to 15% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares under the terms of the 2020 Option Plan, together with Common Shares that were issuable pursuant to outstanding awards or grants under any other compensation or incentive mechanism involving the issuance or potential issuance of Common Shares, including the 2020 PRSU Plan and ESPP. The 2020 Option Plan and the 2020 PRSU Plan were retired effective March 14, 2025, and no further grants will be made under the 2020 Option Plan or the 2020 PRSU Plan. With the retirement of the 2020 Option Plan and the 2020 PRSU Plan, the ESPP and any other compensation or incentive mechanism involving the issuance or potential issuance of Common Shares (including inducement grants made outside a plan) are no longer subject to the 15% limitation from the Prior Plans.

In June 2025, the Company adopted the 2025 Plan, consisting of (a) 4,500,000 Common Shares reserved for issuance under the 2025 Plan, and (b) a maximum of 9,318,090 Common Shares (the “Outstanding Award Shares”) consisting of (i) an aggregate of 3,500,979 Common Shares that were subject to outstanding option awards under the 2020 Option Plan and (ii) an aggregate of 5,817,111 Common Shares subject to outstanding restricted stock unit ("RSU") awards and performance share unit ("PSU") awards under the 2020 PRSU Plan. The Outstanding Award Shares will become available for issuance under the 2025 Plan if and as such awards under the 2020 Option Plan and the 2020 PRSU Plan are forfeited or otherwise terminated. As of December 31, 2025, 375,935 stock options and no RSUs have been granted under the 2025 Plan.

The Company also grants inducement equity awards consisting of stock options, RSUs or PSUs to newly hired employees as an inducement material to the employees entering into employment with the Company in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). All such inducement grants are granted outside of the Company’s equity incentive plans and are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors prior to issuance. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued inducement grants consisting of 2,358,300 stock options and 284,500 PSUs. As of December 31, 2025, there were an aggregate of 3,403,800 inducement awards outstanding consisting of (i) 3,059,300 stock options, (ii) 60,000 RSUs and (iii) 284,500 PSUs.

Stock Options

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2025:

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $6.24. The aggregate intrinsic value of options vested and exercised during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $2.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The expense recognized related to options during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $7.7 million and $8.2 million, respectively.

The following table presents the assumptions used for the stock option grants for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Year Ended December 31,

Expected life 5.3 - 6.1 years 5.0 - 6.1 years

Expected dividend yield 0% 0%

Share price (fair value of Common Shares)— The fair value of the Company’s Common Shares is determined based upon the closing price of the Common Shares one day prior to grant.

Expected volatility—Due to the Company's limited operating history and a lack of company-specific historical and implied volatility data, the Company has based its estimate of expected volatility on the historical volatility of a group of similar companies that are publicly traded. The peer group was developed based on companies in the biotechnology industry. The Company will continue to apply this process until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of its own stock price becomes available.

Risk-free interest rate—The risk-free rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments with maturities similar to the expected term of the Company's stock options.

Expected life—The expected term represents the period that the stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company has opted to use the “simplified method” for estimating the expected term of options, whereby the expected term equals the arithmetic average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the option, which is generally between 5 to 10 years.

Dividend yield—The Company bases the expected dividend yield assumption on the fact that it has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends and, therefore, used an expected dividend yield of zero.

Restricted Share Units

The following table summarizes the Company's RSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2025:

Number of RSUs Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

RSU activity includes PSUs. As of December 31, 2025, there are 1,982,500 PSUs that vest based on the achievement of certain clinical milestones and require service for 36 months after grant. The Company has determined that all of these milestones are probable of achievement, which means that the PSUs would vest at 200% or a total of 3,965,000 PSUs, which is included in the table above. The Company will recognize the related compensation expense for awards that are probable of vesting over the 36 month requisite service period.

The fair market value of RSUs vested during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $7.5 million. The expense recognized related to RSUs during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $12.1 million and $8.7 million, respectively.

Employee Share Purchase Plan

In August 2024, the Company commenced the first offering under the ESPP. Subsequent to this offering, new offerings under the ESPP will commence automatically every six months until the earlier of (i) termination or modification by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and (ii) such time when all Common Shares reserved under the ESPP have been issued. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $0.2 million of expense in relation to its ESPP and issued 66,165 Common Shares under the ESPP.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense for all equity arrangements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $21.0 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested options granted to employees under the 2025 Plan that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.1 years. As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $27.3 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs granted to employees under the RSU Plan that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years. As of December 31, 2025, there was a nominal amount of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the Common Shares to be issued under the ESPP that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.2 years.

Directors’ Deferred Share Unit Plan

On April 16, 2021, the Company adopted the Definium Therapeutics Director’s Deferred Share Unit Plan (the “DDSU Plan”). The DDSU Plan sets out a framework to grant non-employee directors DDSUs, which are cash settled awards. The DDSUs generally vest ratably over twelve months after grant and are settled within 90 days of the date the director ceases service to the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2025, $1.5 million of stock-based compensation expense was recognized relating to the revaluation of the vested DDSUs, and recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For the year ended December 31, 2024, $0.8 million of stock-based compensation expense was recognized relating to the revaluation of the vested DDSUs.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not issue any additional DDSUs. There were 196,838 DDSUs vested as of December 31, 2025.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, management assessed the realizability of deferred tax assets and evaluated the need for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis. This evaluation utilizes the framework contained in ASC 740, Income Taxes, wherein management analyzes all positive and negative evidence available at the balance sheet date to determine whether all or some portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized. Under this guidance, a valuation allowance must be established for deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that the asset will not be realized. In assessing the realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets, management considers all available evidence, both positive and negative.

In concluding on the evaluation, management placed significant emphasis on guidance in ASC 740, which states that “a cumulative loss in recent years is a significant piece of negative evidence that is difficult to overcome.” Based upon available evidence, it was concluded on a more-likely-than-not basis that all deferred tax assets were not realizable as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of $109.7 million has been recorded to offset this deferred tax asset. The valuation allowance increased by $39.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has accumulated federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $323.4 million and $20.0 million, respectively. The federal NOL carryforwards can be carried forward indefinitely, subject to 80% taxable income limitation. The state NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in 2037, unless previously utilized.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had combined foreign net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income of approximately $36.0 million, of which $0.8 million carryforward indefinitely, $29.9 million begin to expire in 2040, and $5.3 million begin to expire in 2028.

Utilization of the Company’s net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. Such an annual limitation could result in the expiration or elimination of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before utilization. Management believes that the limitation will not limit utilization of the carryforwards prior to their expiration.

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, various states, Canada, Australia and Switzerland. The Company has not been notified that it is under audit by the IRS or any state or foreign taxing authorities, however, due to the presence of NOL carryforwards, all of the income tax years remain open for examination in each of these jurisdictions.

Deferred income taxes have not been provided for undistributed earnings of the Company’s consolidated foreign subsidiaries because of the Company’s intent to reinvest such earnings indefinitely in active foreign operations.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company did not pay income taxes in any jurisdiction for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no interest and penalties recognized.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.

The standard is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2025.The Company has adopted ASU 2023-09 for the tax year ended December 31, 2025, applying the new standard prospectively. The impact of ASU 2023-09 to the Company's income tax footnote included expanded rate reconciliation detail disclosing additional information related to foreign tax effects and income taxes paid (net of refunds), by jurisdiction.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 ("OBBBA") was signed into law on July 4, 2025.

The enactment of the legislation did not have a material impact on the Company's income tax rate during the year ended December 31, 2025 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's income tax rate in future years.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has obligations to make future payments, representing significant research and development contracts and other commitments that are known and committed in the amount of approximately $96.8 million and $103.8 million, respectively. Most of these agreements are cancelable by the Company with notice. These commitments include agreements related to the conduct of the clinical trials, sponsored research, manufacturing and preclinical studies.

The Company enters into research, development and license agreements in the ordinary course of business where the Company receives research services and rights to proprietary technologies. Milestone and royalty payments that may become due under various agreements are dependent on, among other factors, clinical trials, regulatory approvals and ultimately the successful development of a new drug, the outcome and timing of which are uncertain.

The Company periodically enters into research and license agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions customary in the industry. These guarantees generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of claims arising from research and development activities undertaken by or on behalf of the Company. In some cases, the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required under these indemnification provisions could be unlimited. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The nature of the indemnification obligations prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay. Historically, the Company has not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.

During April 2022, the Company entered into a three-year operating lease for office space located in North Carolina with an expiration date of September 30, 2025. Total lease payments under the lease amounted to approximately $0.2 million. In June 2025, the Company amended the lease. The lease amendment extends the lease term from September 30, 2025 to February 1, 2031, and grants the Company additional space. The Company has rent abatement for the first 5 months of the new lease amendment. Total lease payments under the amended lease are expected to amount to approximately $0.8 million. In June 2025, a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for $0.6 million were recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The right-of-use asset is recorded in other non-current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The current portion of the lease liability is recorded in accrued expenses and the noncurrent portion is recorded in other non-current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The incremental borrowing rate utilized in the determination of the lease liability was 10.25%.

From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company is not a party to any material litigation, and the Company does not currently have any contingencies related to ongoing legal matters.

CREDIT FACILITY

On August 11, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries party thereto, as co-borrowers (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with K2 HealthVentures LLC (“K2HV”), as administrative agent and Canadian collateral agent for lenders thereunder (K2HV, together with any other lender from time to time, the "Lenders"), and Ankura Trust Company, LLC, as collateral trustee for the Lenders, providing for an aggregate principal amount of term loans of up to $50.0 million (the “Term Loans”).

On April 18, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), the Borrowers, entered into the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement with K2HV (as amended by the First Amendment, the “Amended Loan Agreement”).

The Amended Loan Agreement provides for, among other things: (i) an aggregate principal amount of term loans (the “Amendment Term Loans”) of up to $120.0 million, consisting of (A) a new Restatement First Tranche Term Loan (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) of $42.0 million, which was funded on the Effective Date, a portion of the proceeds of which was used on the Effective Date to refinance in full all Term Loans outstanding under the Loan Agreement, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Amended Loan Agreement and the refinancing of the existing Term Loans, (B) subsequent tranches of term loans totaling up to $28.0 million, subject to the occurrence of certain time-based clinical and regulatory milestones and (C) an additional tranche of term loans of up to $50.0 million upon the Company’s request, subject to review by the Lenders of certain information from the Company and discretionary approval by the Lenders, (ii) to the extent any Amendment Term Loans other than the Restatement First Tranche Term Loans are made during the term of the Amended Loan Agreement, a minimum liquidity covenant, beginning on the earlier to occur of (x) July 1, 2026 (which may be extended to July 1, 2027 to the extent the Company has achieved certain fundraising milestones) and (y) the date on which certain clinical and regulatory milestones are not achieved, which covenant shall be waived in any period where the Company’s market capitalization exceeds $500.0 million, (iii) a decrease in the interest rate applicable to all Amendment Term Loans under the Amended Loan Agreement to the greater of (x) 10.25% and (y) the sum of (a) the Prime Rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus (b) 2.75% per annum, and (iv) a conversion right at the election of the Lenders at any time following the Effective Date and prior to the full repayment of the Amendment Term Loans to convert up to $7.0 million of the outstanding Amendment Term Loans into the Company’s common shares (the “Amendment Conversion Shares”), at conversion prices ranging from $4.01 per Amendment Conversion Share to $9.00 per Amendment Conversion Share.

The embedded conversion option qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting because it is both indexed to the Company’s shares and meets the conditions for equity classification. On July 22, 2025, under the terms of the Amended Loan Agreement, K2HV converted $1.0 million of the outstanding Amendment Term Loans into 249,377 Common Shares. As of December 31, 2025, K2HV may convert up to an additional $6.0 million of the outstanding Amendment Term Loans into Common Shares at conversion prices ranging from $7.02 per Amendment Conversion Share to $9.00 per Amendment Conversion Share.

The Amendment Term Loans mature on April 1, 2029, provided that upon the occurrence of certain events the maturity date may be extended to October 1, 2029. The obligations of the Borrowers under the Amended Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers, excluding intellectual property. Other than as described above, the proceeds of borrowings under the Amended Loan Agreement are expected to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes and/or to further support commercial activities and/or business development opportunities. Once repaid, the Amendment Term Loans may not be reborrowed. The Company was in compliance with the Amended Loan Agreement as of December 31, 2025.

In accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, the Company evaluated the Amended Loan Agreement to determine whether it should be accounted for as a modification or extinguishment. As a result of this analysis, the Amended Loan Agreement was accounted for as a modification and no gain or loss was recognized. Transaction costs incurred from or paid on behalf of K2HV of approximately $0.4 million were capitalized as a deferred debt discount and will be amortized over the term of the Amended Loan Agreement. Transaction costs incurred with third parties directly relating to the Amended Loan Agreement were expensed as incurred.

The Company recorded $5.5 million in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025, which included a $1.7 million final payment in connection with the Amended Loan Agreement and the refinancing of the existing Term Loans.

Future expected repayments of principal amount due on the credit facility as of December 31, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):

Total principal repayments 41,000

Unamortized debt issuance costs (815 )

Accrued final payment fee 394

Total credit facility, non-current, net $ 40,579

As of December 31, 2025, the Company estimated the fair value of the credit facility to be $41.7 million, assuming $6.0 million of principal (the amount of Amendment Conversion Shares in-the-money as of December 31, 2025) is converted into Amendment Conversion Shares.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company adopted a 401(k) savings plan for its employees in 2023. The Company is required to make matching contributions to the 401(k) plan equal to 100% of the first 3% of employee contributions, and 50% on the next 2% of employee contributions. The Company contributed $0.8 million and $0.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has one reportable segment relating to the research and development of the Company’s neurological drug development platform.

The Company’s CODM, its Chief Executive Officer, reviews the Company’s operations, including reviewing budgets and trial related data, and decides how to allocate resources and assess performance. When evaluating the Company’s financial performance, the CODM regularly reviews total expenses and total assets and the CODM makes decisions using this information on a consolidated basis. The CODM uses consolidated net income or loss as a measure of profit or loss in allocating resources and assessing segment performance.In addition to the expense categories included within net income presented on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, see below for additional expense detail that is routinely reviewed by the CODM (in thousands):

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of December 31, 2025, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation with the participation of management of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2025.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting as required by Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. Because we qualify as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act, management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. In addition, the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Item 9B. Other Information.

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (in each case, as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).

Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections.

None.

Filing HTML rendered to line-structured narrative text by the shipped reducer (datafeeds.edgar_fulltext.visible_text, keep_table_headers=True): scripts and inline-XBRL headers are dropped, and table content is reduced to its short label cells — numeric table data is not rendered and is therefore not counted. The same rendering is used for every year, so a year-over-year comparison is like for like.

The text is our rendering of the filing, not a facsimile: original pagination, typography and tables are not reproduced, and the numbers live in the financial statements (FA).

The outline locates item HEADINGS in this document. Only Items 1A and 7 have certified boundaries elsewhere in the terminal (the redline and the narrative-overlap number); every span here runs from one heading found to the next heading found.

How the outline was chosen. It is the longest chain of item headings that runs forward through both the document and the standard item order: 23 headings are on that chain and 16 further heading-shaped lines are not — the table-of-contents echo of every item, cross-references and exhibit-list mentions. Each entry's length is measured from its heading to the next heading on the chain.
