Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

Among other requirements, the GDPR regulates transfers of personal data subject to the GDPR to third countries that have not been found to provide adequate protection to such personal data, including the United States, and the efficacy and longevity of current transfer mechanisms between the EEA and the United States remains uncertain. Case law from the Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”) states that reliance on the standard contractual clauses - a standard form of contract approved by the European Commission as an adequate personal data transfer mechanism - alone may not necessarily be sufficient in all circumstances and that transfers must be assessed on a case-by-case basis. On July 10, 2023, the European Commission adopted its Adequacy Decision in relation to the new EU-US Data Privacy Framework (“DPF”), rendering the DPF effective as a GDPR transfer mechanism to U.S. entities self-certified under the DPF. We expect the existing legal complexity and uncertainty regarding international personal data transfers to continue. In particular, we expect the DPF Adequacy Decision to be challengedcontinue, and international transfers to the United States and to other jurisdictions more generally to continue to be subject to enhanced scrutiny by regulators.

We are subject to export control and import laws and regulations, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, U.S. Customs regulations, and various economic and trade sanctions regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Controls, and anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the US Travel Act, the USA PATRIOT Act and other state and national anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in the countries in which we conduct activities. Anti-corruption laws are interpreted broadly and prohibit companies and their employees, agents, CROs, contractors and other collaborators and partners from authorizing, promising, offering, providing, soliciting or receiving, directly or indirectly, improper payments or anything else of value to or from recipients in the public or private sector. We may engage third parties for clinical trials outside of the United States, to sell our products abroad once we enter a commercialization phase, and/or to obtain necessary permits, licenses, patent registrations and other regulatory approvals. We have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or government-affiliated hospitals, universities and other organizations. We can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of our employees, agents, CROs, contractors and other collaborators and partners, even if we do not explicitly authorize or have actual knowledge of such activities. We are also subject to other U.S. laws and regulations governing export controls, as well as economic sanctions and embargoes on certain countries and persons.

•Sales of a substantial number of our securities in the public market by the Selling Securityholders and/or by our existing securityholders could cause the prices of our common stock and warrants to fall.

Reworded

We use our platform to offer antibody drug-discovery programs to partners who are engaged in drug research and development. These partners include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and academic institutions of all sizes. While we receive upfront payments generated through our receipt of service revenue and technology access fees, we expect that the vast majority of the economic value of the agreements we enter into with our partners is in the downstream payments that we may receive upon achievement of development milestones and royalties on sales of any approved products. As a result, our future growth is dependent on the ability of our partners to successfully develop and commercialize therapies based on antibodies discovered using our platform. Due to our reliance on our partners, the risks relating to product development, regulatory clearance, authorization or approval and commercialization apply to us derivatively through the activities of our partners. While we believe our platform is capable of identifying high-quality antibodies, there can be no assurance that our partners will successfully develop, secure marketing approvals for and commercialize any therapeutic candidates based on the antibodies discovered using our platform. As a result, we may not realize the intended benefits of our partnerships.

Reworded

Neither we nor our partners are permitted to market any therapeutic candidate until we or they receive regulatory approval of a New Drug Application (“NDA”) or Biologics License Application (“BLA”) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in the United States or until we or they receive regulatory approval from foreign regulatory authorities in other countries. Prior to obtaining such approval to commercialize a therapeutic candidate in the United States or abroad, our partners must demonstrate with substantial evidence from well-controlled clinical trials, and to the satisfaction of the FDA, European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) or comparable foreign regulatory agencies, that such therapeutic candidates are safe and effective, or in the case of biologics in the U.S., safe, pure, and potent, for their intended uses. Results from nonclinical studies and clinical trials can be interpreted in different ways. Even if we or our partners believe the nonclinical or clinical data for any therapeutic candidates are promising, such data may not be sufficient to support approval by the FDA and other comparable regulatory authorities.

Reworded

Our partners’ failure to effectively advance, market and sell suitable therapeutic candidates with the antibodies that are discovered using our platform could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and cause the market price of our common stock to decline. In addition to the inherent uncertainty in drug development addressesaddressed above, our ability to forecast our future revenues may be limited.

For example, in December 2023, we entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”), with Jefferies LLC (the “Sales Agent”) under which we may, from time to time, sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million through the Sales Agent (the “ATM Offering”). Sales of our common stock made pursuant to the Sales Agreement, are made under our shelf registration statement on Form S‐3 which was filed on December 8, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on December 18, 2023. However, there can be no assurance that the Agent will be successful in consummating future sales based on prevailing market conditions or in the quantities or at the prices that we deem appropriate. In addition, the Sales Agreement may be terminated by the Sales Agent or us at any time. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we sold 2,771,192 shares of our common stock under the ATM Offering, for net proceeds of $11.4 million, after deducting commissions. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we sold no shares of common stock under the ATM Offering.

Reworded

Historically, we have incurred net losses, as reported on a consolidated basis. For the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, our revenue was $26.4$18.7 million and $34.2$26.4 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, our net loss was $62.0$64.8 million and $50.6$62.0 million, respectively. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and we anticipate these losses will increase substantiallyfuture as we invest in research and development activities to improve our OmniAb technology platform,platform and market and sell our technologies to existing and new partners, add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel to support our operations and incur costs associated with operating as a public company.partners.

Reworded

To manage our anticipated growth, we must continue to implement and improve our managerial, operational and financial systems, expandinvest in our facilities and continue to recruit and train additional qualified personnel. Also, our management team may need to divert a disproportionate amount of its attention away from its day-to-day activities and devote a substantial amount of time to managing our growth. If our management is unable to effectively manage our expected growth, our expenses may increase more than expected, our ability to generate or increase our revenue could be reduced and we may not be able to implement our business strategy. Our future financial performance, and our ability to develop and commercialize our platform and compete effectively, will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage increased program demand and the growth in our operations.

•in the field of single-cell screening, we face technical competition from companies that provide access to similar technologies, such as AbCellera Biologics Inc., Bruker Corporation.,Corporation, HiFiBioDPBIO, Inc., Sartorius AG, and SphereFluidic FluidicsSciences Ltd.Ltd; and

Reworded

We also face direct business competition from companies that provide antibody discovery services using technologies such as hybridoma and display. In addition, we compete with a variety of fee-for-service contract research organizations that provide services, in most cases using legacy technologies, that compete with one or more stepstechnologies in our technology platform.

Furthermore, the application of AI tools across R&D workstreams is an evolving landscape in the biotechnology industry and the implications of such use to our business and our industry remains uncertain.

Reworded

In addition, competitors may be acquired by, receive investments from or enter into other commercial relationships with larger, well-established and well-financed companies. Certain of our competitors may be able to secure key inputs from vendors on more favorable terms, devote greater resources to marketing and promotional campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote substantially more resources to technology and platform development than we can. If we are unable to compete successfully against current and future competitors, we may be unable to increase market adoption and sales of our platform, which could prevent us from increasing our revenue or sustaining profitability.

Reworded

Payors, whether domestic or foreign, or governmental or private, are developing increasingly sophisticated methods of controlling healthcare costs and those methods are not always specifically adapted for new technologies. In both the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions, there have been a number of legislative and regulatory changes to the health care system that could impact our or our partners’ ability to sell our products profitably.

Reworded

In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted in the United States since the ACA was enacted. For example, on March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 into law, which eliminated the statutory Medicaid drug rebate cap, beginning January 1, 2024. The rebate was previously capped at 100% of a drug’s average manufacturer price. Further, in August 2011, theThe Budget Control Act of 2011, among other things, included aggregate reductions of Medicare payments to providers. These reductions went into effect on April 1, 2013 and, due to subsequent legislative amendments to the statute, will remain in effect through 2032.

Reworded

Further, heightened governmental scrutiny is likely to continue over the manner in which productpharmaceutical manufacturers set prices for their marketed products, which has already resulted in several Congressional inquiries and proposed and enacted federal and state legislation designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to product pricing, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient programs, and reform government program reimbursement methodologies for products. Most recently, inIn August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law. This statute marks the most significant action by Congress with respect to the pharmaceutical industry since adoption of the ACA in 2010. Among other things, the IRA requires manufacturers of certain drugs to engage in price negotiations with Medicare, with prices that can be negotiated subject to a cap; imposes rebates under Medicare Part B and Medicare Part D to penalize price increases that outpace inflation (first due in 2023); redesigns the Medicare Part D benefit (beginning in 2024); and replaces the Part D coverage gap discount program with a new manufacturer discount program (beginning in 2025). The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has published the negotiated prices for the initial ten drugs, which went into effect in January 2026, and the subsequent 15 drugs, which will first be effective in 2026, and has published the list of the subsequent 15 drugs that will be subject to negotiation.2027. The IRA permits the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) to implement many of these provisions through guidance, as opposed to regulation, for the initial years. HHS has and will continue to issue and update guidance as these programs are implemented, although the Medicare drug price negotiation program is currently subject to legal challenges. While the impact of the IRA on the pharmaceutical industry cannot yet be fully determined, it is likely to be significant.

Added

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was enacted in July 2025, imposes significant reductions in the funding of the Medicaid program. Such reductions are expected to decrease the number of persons enrolled in Medicaid and reduce the services covered by Medicaid, which could adversely affect sales of any product candidate that our partners or we commercialize.

Added

The Trump administration is pursuing a two-fold strategy to reduce drug costs in the United States. While it is unclear whether and how the Trump proposals will be implemented, the Trump policies are likely to have a negative impact on the pharmaceutical industry and on our and our partners’ ability to receive adequate revenues for our or their products. On the one hand, President Trump has threatened to impose significant tariffs on pharmaceutical manufacturers that do not adopt pricing policies such as most favored nation pricing, which would tie the price for drugs in the United States to the lowest price in a group of other countries. In response, multiple manufacturers have entered into confidential pricing agreements with the federal government. On the other hand, the Trump administration is pursuing traditional regulatory pathways to impose drug pricing policies and published two proposed regulations in December 2025, referred to as Globe and Guard. If finalized, these regulations would implement mandatory payment models under which manufacturers of eligible drugs would be required to pay rebates to the federal government on a portion of the units of their drugs that are reimbursed by Medicare, with the rebate amount based on most favored nation pricing. Imposing a rebate in the United States that is based on drug prices outside the United States would mark a drastic and unprecedented shift in the U.S. pharmaceutical market, and while the impact of the Globe and Guard proposed regulations, if finalized, cannot yet be determined, it is likely to be significant. Even regulatory proposals or executive actions that are ultimately deemed unlawful could negatively impact the U.S. pharmaceutical sector and our business. In addition, pharmaceutical pricing and marketing has long been the subject of considerable discussion in Congress and among policymakers, and it is possible that Congress could enact additional laws that negatively affect the pharmaceutical industry.

Reworded

Moreover, individual states in the United States have become increasingly active in developing proposals, passing legislation and implementing regulations designed to control drug pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, formulary flexibility, marketing cost disclosure, drug price increase disclosure,reporting, and other transparency measures. Some states have enacted legislation creating so-called prescription drug affordability boards, which ultimately may attempt to impose price limits on certain drugs in these states.states, and at least one state board is imposing an upper payment limit. States are also seeking to implement general, across the board price caps for pharmaceuticals, or are seeking to regulate drug distribution. Legally mandated price controls on payment amounts by third-party payors or other restrictions could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Reworded

We expect that additional U.S. federal or foreign healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that the U.S. federal government or foreign governments will pay for healthcare products and services, which could result in reduced demand for our or our partners’ products and therapeutic candidates, if approved, or additional pricing pressures. If efforts to contain the price of biopharmaceutical products are successful, the magnitude of milestone payments and royalties we would expect to receive in connection with our partners’ future prioritization and investment in developing novel biologics may be impacted. For instance, on December 13, 2021, Regulation No 2021/2282 on Health Technology Assessment (“HTA”) amending Directive 2011/24/EU, was adopted in the EU. This regulation entered into force in January 2022 and has been applicable since January 2025, with phased implementation based on the type of product, i.e., oncology and advanced therapy medicinal products as of 2025, orphan medicinal products as of 2028, and all other medicinal products by 2030. This regulation intends to boost cooperation among EU member states in assessing health technologies, including new medicinal products, and provide the basis for cooperation at the EU level for joint clinical assessments in these areas. It will permit EU member states to use common HTA tools, methodologies, and procedures across the EU, working together in four main areas, including joint clinical assessment of the innovative health technologies with the highest potential impact for patients, joint scientific consultations whereby developers can seek advice from HTA authorities, identification of emerging health technologies to identify promising technologies early, and continuing voluntary cooperation in other areas. Individual EU member states will continue to be responsible for assessing non-clinical (e.g., economic, social, ethical) aspects of health technology, and making decisions on pricing and reimbursement.

We and/or our partners or potential partners currently and may in the future rely on foreign CROs and CMOs, such as WuXi Biologics. Such foreign CROs and CMOs may be subject to U.S. legislation, sanctions, tariffs, trade restrictions and other foreign regulatory requirements which could increase the cost or reduce the supply of material available to us or our partners or potential partners, delay the procurement or supply of such material or have an adverse effect on our or our partners’ or potential partners’ ability to secure significant commitments from governments to purchase potential therapies. For example, inthe JanuaryU.S. 2024,BIOSECURE thereAct, which was Congressionalenacted activity,in includingDecember 2025, prohibits federal agencies from procuring or using any biotechnology equipment or services from “biotechnology companies of concern”, or entering into, extending, or renewing any contracts with entities that use such biotechnology equipment or services from “biotechnology companies of concern”. Congress has interpreted a “biotechnology company of concern” as an entity that is under the introductioncontrol of a foreign adversary and that poses a risk to national security based on its research or multiomic data collection (e.g., collection of genomic information). While the U.S. BIOSECURE Act has a grandfathering period of five years for existing contracts, and has carveouts for manufacture of drugs for supply under Medicaid and Medicare Part B, subject to the Secretary of Veteran Affairs’ discretion, the impact of the BIOSECURE Act (H.R. 7085) in the House of Representatives and a substantially similar Senate bill (S.3558). TheU.S. BIOSECURE Act was passed byon the Housebiotechnology ofindustry Representativesis inuncertain. SeptemberThis 2024. If these bills become law, orand similar laws are passed, they wouldcould have the potential to severelymaterially restrict the ability of U.S. biopharmaceutical companies like us or our partners to purchase services or products from, or otherwise collaborate with, certain Chinese biotechnology companies “of concern” without losing the ability to contract with, or otherwise receive funding from, the U.S. government. In addition, changes by the U.S.United States and foreign governments in trade policies including the imposition of higher tariffs on imports into the U.S.United States and other governmental regulations affecting trade between the U.S.United States and other countries where we and/or our partners conduct business, and any retaliatory actions by other governments, could increase costs, impact the supply of materials and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on a limited number of suppliers for laboratory equipment and materials used in our laboratory or sold to partners and may not be able to find replacements or immediately transition to alternative suppliers.

Reworded

We rely on a limited number of suppliers, or in some cases single suppliers, to provide certain consumables and equipment that we use in our laboratory operations,operations or sell to partners, as well as reagents and other laboratory materials involved in the development of our technology. Fluctuations in the availability and price of laboratorysuch materials and equipment could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet our technology development goals with our partners or fulfill sales of equipment or consumables to our partners and thus our results from operations as well as future partnership opportunities. An interruption in our laboratory operations oroperations, technology transfer or sales could occur if we encounter delays, quality issues or other difficulties in securing these consumables, equipment, reagents or other materials, and if we cannot then obtain an acceptable substitute. In addition, while we believe suitable additional or alternative suppliers are available to accommodate our operations, if needed, any transition to new or additional suppliers may cause delays in our processing of samples or development and commercialization of our technology. Any such interruption could significantly affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.

Reworded

Our success depends in part on our continued ability to attract, retain, manage, and motivate highly qualified management, scientific and engineering personnel, and we face significant competition for experienced personnel. We are highly dependent upon our senior management, as well as our senior scientists and engineers and other members of our management team. The individual and collective efforts of these employees will be important as we continue to develop and market our platform and technology. The loss or incapacity of existing members of our senior management team could adversely affect our operations if we experience difficulties in hiring qualified successors. Although we intendhave to executeexecuted employment agreements or offer letters with each member of our senior management team, these agreements will beare terminable at will with or without notice and, therefore, we may not be able to retain their services as expected. We do not currently maintain “key person” life insurance on the lives of our executives or any of our employees. This lack of insurance means that we may not have adequate compensation for the loss of the services of these individuals.

Reworded

We also expect that operatingOperating as a public company will makemakes it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage.coverage in the future. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified people to serve on our Board, our Board committees or as executive officers. We do not know, however, if we will be able to maintain existing insurance with adequate levels of coverage. Any significant uninsured liability may require us to pay substantial amounts, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Attacks upon information technology systems are increasing in their frequency, levels of persistence, sophistication and intensity, and are being conducted by sophisticated and organized groups and individuals with a wide range of motives and expertise. Additionally, any integration of artificial intelligence in our or any third party’s operations, products or services is expected to pose new or unknown cybersecurity risks and challenges. Further, to the extent our employees are working remotely, additional risks may arise as a result of depending on the networking and security in place in the remote environments. Furthermore,Moreover, because the tools and techniques – including artificial intelligence – used to obtain unauthorized access to, infiltrate, or sabotage systems change frequently and often are not recognized until after they occur, we may be unable to anticipate these exploits or implement adequate preventative measures. We may experience security breaches that may remain undetected for an extended period. Our third-party service providers and partners are also subject to these heightened risks. The secure processing, storage, maintenance and transmission of this critical information are vital to our operations and business strategy, and we devote significant resources to protecting such information. Although we take reasonable measures to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, use or disclosure, our information technology and infrastructure and those of our third-party service providers, strategic partners and other contractors or consultants are vulnerable to attack, damage and interruption from diverse threat actors and attack vectors, including viruses or other malware (e.g. ransomware), malicious code, misconfigurations, bugs (or other vulnerabilities in commercial software that is integrated into our (or our suppliers’ or service providers’) information technology systems, products or services), natural disasters, terrorism, war, telecommunication and electrical failures, hacking, cyberattacks, phishing attacks and other social engineering schemes, employee theft or misuse, human error, fraud, denial or degradation of service attacks, sophisticated nation-state and nation-state-supported actors or unauthorized access or use by persons inside our organization, or persons with access to systems inside our organization. There can be no assurance that our cybersecurity risk management program and processes, including our policies, controls or procedures, will be fully implemented, complied with or effective in protecting our information technology systems and confidential information.

Reworded

We and our third-party service providers and partners are from time to time subject to cyberattacks and security incidents.incidents that threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our information technology systems and confidential information. While we do not believe that we have experienced any significant system failure, accident or security breach to date, if such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our development programs and our business operations, whether due to a loss, corruption or unauthorized disclosure of our trade secrets, personal information or other proprietary or sensitive information or other similar disruptions. It could also expose us to risks, including an inability to provide our services and fulfill contractual demands, and could cause management distraction and the obligation to devote significant financial and other resources to mitigate such problems, which would increase our future information security costs, including through organizational changes, deploying additional personnel, reinforcing administrative, physical and technical safeguards, further training of employees, changing third-party vendor control practices and engaging third-party subject matter experts and consultants and reduce the demand for our technology and services.

Reworded

If a security breach or other incident were to result in the unauthorized access to or unauthorized use, disclosure, release or other processing of personal information, it may be necessary to notify individuals, governmental authorities, supervisory bodies, the media and other parties pursuant to privacy and security laws. Any security compromise affecting us, our service providers, partners, other contractors, consultants, or our industry, whether real or perceived, could harm our reputation, erode confidence in the effectiveness of our security measures and lead to regulatory scrutiny. To the extent that any disruption or security breach were to result in a loss of, or damage to, our data or systems, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary or personal information, we could incur liability, including litigation exposure, penalties and fines, we could become the subject of regulatory action or investigation, our competitive position could be harmed and the further development and commercialization of our products and services could be delayed. If such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our business. Furthermore, federal, state and international laws and regulations can expose us to enforcement actions and investigations by regulatory authorities, and potentially result in regulatory penalties, fines and significant legal liability, if our information technology security efforts fail. We may also be exposed to a risk of loss or litigation (including class actions) and potential liability, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. Additionally, although we maintain cybersecurity insurance coverage, we cannot be certain that such coverage will be adequate for data security liabilities actually incurred, will cover any indemnification claims against us relating to any incident, will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

•the U.S. Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which requires certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies that are reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program to report to the Department of Health and Human Services information related to certain financial interactions with physicians (defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists and chiropractors), certain other non-physician practitioners (physician assistants, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, anesthesiologist assistants, certified registered nurse anesthetists, anesthesiology assistants and certified nurse midwives), and teaching hospitals, as well as the ownership and investment interests of physicians and their immediate family members;

In the U.S., HIPAA imposes, among other things, certain standards relating to the privacy, security, transmission and breach reporting of individually identifiable health information. We may obtain health information from third parties (including research institutions from which we obtain patient health information) that are subject to privacy and security requirements under HIPAA. Depending on the facts and circumstances, we could be subject to significant penalties if we violate HIPAA. Certain states have also adopted comparable privacy and security laws and regulations, which govern the privacy, processing and protection of health-related and other personal information. Such laws and regulations will be subject to interpretation by various courts and other governmental authorities, thus creating potentially complex compliance issues for us and our future customers and strategic partners. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the “CCPA”) requires covered businesses that process the personal information of California residents to, among other things: (i) provide certain disclosures to California residents regarding the business’s collection, use, and disclosure of their personal information; (ii) receive and respond to requests from California residents to access, delete, and correct their personal information, or to opt out of certain disclosures of their personal information; and (iii) enter into specific contractual provisions with service providers that process California resident personal information on the business’s behalf. Similar laws have passed in other states and are continuing to be proposed in other states and at the federal level,states, reflecting a trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the United States. The enactment of such laws could have potentially conflicting requirements that would make compliance challenging. In the event that we are subject to or affected by HIPAA, the CCPA, or other domestic privacy and data protection laws, any liability from failure to comply with the requirements of these laws could adversely affect our financial condition.

We are also or may become subject to rapidly evolving data protection laws, rules and regulations in foreign jurisdictions. For example, we are subject to the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“EU GDPR”) and to the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act 2018 (collectively, the “UK GDPR”) (the EU GDPR and UK GDPR together referred to as the “GDPR”). The GDPR governs certain collection and other processing activities involving personal data about individuals in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). and United Kingdom. Among other things, the GDPR imposes requirements regarding the security of personal data, the rights of data subjects to access and delete personal data, requires having lawful bases on which personal data can be processed, includes requirements relating to the consent of individuals to whom the personal data relates, requires detailed notices for data subjects including clinical trial participants and investigators and regulates transfers of personal data from the EEA or UK to third countries that have not been found to provide adequate protection to such personal data, including the United States. The GDPR imposes substantial fines for breaches and violations (up to the greater of €20.0 million / £17.5 million or 4% of our annual global revenue). The GDPR also confers a private right of action on data subjects and consumer associations to lodge complaints with supervisory authorities, seek judicial remedies and obtain compensation for damages resulting from violations of the GDPR.

Reworded

Among other requirements, the GDPR regulates transfers of personal data subject to the GDPR to third countries that have not been found to provide adequate protection to such personal data, including the United States, and the efficacy and longevity of current transfer mechanisms between the EEA and the United States remains uncertain. Case law from the Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”) states that reliance on the standard contractual clauses - a standard form of contract approved by the European Commission as an adequate personal data transfer mechanism - alone may not necessarily be sufficient in all circumstances and that transfers must be assessed on a case-by-case basis. On July 10, 2023, the European Commission adopted its Adequacy Decision in relation to the new EU-US Data Privacy Framework (“DPF”), rendering the DPF effective as a GDPR transfer mechanism to U.S. entities self-certified under the DPF. We expect the existing legal complexity and uncertainty regarding international personal data transfers to continue. In particular, we expect the DPF Adequacy Decision to be challengedcontinue, and international transfers to the United States and to other jurisdictions more generally to continue to be subject to enhanced scrutiny by regulators. As athe result,regulatory we may have to make certain operational changesguidance and weenforcement willlandscape havein relation to implement revised standard contractual clauses and other relevant documentation for existing data transfers withincontinue requiredto timedevelop, frames.we could suffer additional costs, complaints and/or regulatory investigations or fines, and/or if we are otherwise unable to transfer personal data between and among countries and regions in which we operate, it could affect the manner in which we operate our business, the geographical location or segregation of our relevant systems and operations, and could adversely affect our financial results.

Already, certain existing legal regimes (e.g., relating to data privacy) regulate certain aspects of AI Technologies, and new laws regulating AI Technologies either entered into force in the United States and the EU in 2024 or are expected to enter into force in 2025.2026. In the United States, the Trump administration has rescinded an executive order relating to AI Technologies that was previously implemented by the Biden administration. The Trump administration may continue to rescind other existing federal orders and/or administrative policies relating to AI Technologies, or may implement new executive orders and/or other rule making relating to AI Technologies in the future. Any such changes at the federal level could require us to expend significant resources to modify our products, services, or operations to ensure compliance or remain competitive. U.S. legislation related to AI Technologies has also been introduced at the federal level and is advancing at the state level. For example, the California Privacy Protection Agency ishas currentlyrecently in the process of finalizingfinalized regulations under the CCPA regarding the use of automated decision-making. Such additional regulations may impact our ability to develop, use and commercialize AI Technologies in the future. California also enacted seventeena number of new laws in 2024 that further regulate use of AI Technologies and provide consumers with additional protections around companies’ use of AI Technologies, such as requiring companies to disclose certain uses of generative AI. Other states have also passed AI-focused legislation, such as Colorado’s Artificial Intelligence Act, which will require developers and deployers of “high-risk” AI systems to implement certain safeguards against algorithmic discrimination, and Utah’s Artificial Intelligence Policy Act, which establishes disclosure requirements and accountability measures for the use of generative AI in certain consumer interactions.

Once fully applicable, the EU AI Act and the EU Product Liability DirectivesDirective will have a material impact on the way AI is regulated in the EU. Recent case law from the CJEU has taken an expansive view of the scope of the GDPR’s requirements around automated decision making and introduced uncertainty in the interpretation of these rules. The EU AI Act, and developing interpretation and application of the GDPR in respect of automated decision making, together with developing guidance and/or decisions in this area, may affect our use of AI Technologies and our ability to provide, improve or commercialize our business, require additional compliance measures and changes to our operations and processes, result in increased compliance costs and potential increases in civil claims against us, and could adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition.

The value of our investments may decline due to increases in interest rates, downgrades of the bonds and other securities included in our commercial money market account portfolio and instability in the global financial markets that reduces the liquidity of securities included in our portfolio. In addition, in 2023 the closures of financial institutions and their placement into receivership with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) created bank-specific and broader financial institution liquidity risk and concerns. Future adverse developments with respect to specific financial institutions or the broader financial services industry may impair our ability to access capital needed to support near-term working capital needs, whether from our existing investment and deposit accounts and credit facilities or otherwise, and may lead to market-wide liquidity shortages and create additional market and economic uncertainty. Furthermore, a possible recession and continuing inflation concerns hashave and may continue to adversely affect the financial markets in some or all countries worldwide. Each of these events may cause us to record charges to reduce the carrying value of our investment portfolio or sell investments for less than our acquisition cost. Although we attempt to mitigate these risks through diversification of our investments, the value of our investments may nevertheless decline, and our ability to fund our near-term and long-term working capital needs to support our business and operating plans may be adversely affected. In addition, any decline in available funding or access to our cash and liquidity resources could also result in breaches of our financial and/or contractual obligations or result in violations of federal or state wage and hour laws.

Risks Related to the Separation and Distribution and Our Relationship with Ligand

Removed

If the Distribution, together with certain related transactions, failed to qualify as a reorganization under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code, or the Merger or other transactions caused Section 355(e) of the Code to apply to the Distribution, Ligand could incur significant tax liabilities, and OmniAb could be required to indemnify Ligand for taxes that could be material pursuant to indemnification obligations under the Tax Matters Agreement.

Removed

Ligand received a tax opinion from its outside tax counsel to the effect that the Distribution, together with certain related transactions, qualified as a reorganization under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code and that the Merger would not cause Section 355(e) of the Code to apply to the Distribution.

Removed

The tax opinion was delivered in connection with the closing of the Merger and was based on, among other things, certain facts, assumptions, representations and undertakings from Ligand and OmniAb, including those regarding the past and future conduct of the companies’ respective businesses and other matters. If any of these facts, assumptions, representations, or undertakings are incorrect or not satisfied, Ligand may not be able to rely on the opinion, and Ligand could be subject to significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities. In addition, the opinion is not binding on the IRS or the courts and notwithstanding the opinion, the IRS could determine on audit that the Distribution, together with certain related transactions, does not qualify as a reorganization if it determines that any of the facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings on which the opinion is based are not correct or have been violated or that the Distribution, together with certain related transactions, should be taxable for other reasons, including as a result of a significant change in stock or asset ownership of Ligand or OmniAb after the Distribution.

Removed

If the Distribution, together with certain related transactions, is ultimately determined not to qualify as a reorganization, the Distribution could be treated as a taxable disposition of shares of OmniAb stock by Ligand. In such case, Ligand could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities.

Removed

Under the Tax Matters Agreement that OmniAb entered into with Ligand, OmniAb is generally required to indemnify Ligand against certain taxes incurred by Ligand that arise in connection with the Distribution as a result of certain actions or omissions by OmniAb. Further, even if OmniAb is not responsible for tax liabilities of Ligand under the Tax Matters Agreement, OmniAb nonetheless could be liable under applicable U.S. federal tax law for such liabilities if Ligand were to fail to pay them. If OmniAb is required to pay any liabilities under the circumstances set forth in the Tax Matters Agreement or pursuant to applicable tax law, the amounts may be significant.

Removed

In addition, geo-political actions in the United States and in foreign countries could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution or maintenance of our patent applications or those of any current or future licensors and the maintenance, enforcement or defense of our issued patents or those of any current or future licensors. For example, the United States and foreign government actions related to Russia’s conflict in Ukraine may limit or prevent filing, prosecution, and maintenance of patent applications in Russia. Government actions may also prevent maintenance of issued patents in Russia. These actions could result in abandonment or lapse of our patents or patent applications, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in Russia. If such an event were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, a decree was adopted by the Russian government in March 2022, allowing Russian companies and individuals to exploit inventions owned by patentees from the United States without consent or compensation. Consequently, we would not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our inventions in Russia or from selling or importing products made using our inventions in and into Russia. Accordingly, our competitive position may be impaired, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

Reworded

In addition, we cannot eliminate the risk of accidental injury or contamination from these materials or wastes, which could cause an interruption of our commercialization efforts, research and development programs and business operations, as well as environmental damage resulting in costly clean-up and liabilities under applicable laws and regulations. In the event of contamination or injury, we could be liable for damages or penalized with fines in an amount exceeding our resources and our operations could be suspended or otherwise adversely affected. Furthermore, environmental laws and regulations are complex, change frequently and have tended tomay become more stringent. We cannot predict the impact of such changes and cannot be certain of our future compliance.

We are subject to export control and economic and trade sanctions laws and regulations, such as those administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the United Nations Security Council, and other export controls and sanctions regulators, as well as import laws and regulations, U.S. Customs regulations, and anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel Act, the USA PATRIOT Act and other state and national anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in the countries in which we conduct activities.

Added

Our global operations expose us to the risk of violating, or being accused of violating, export controls and economic and trade sanctions laws and regulations. Our failure to comply with these laws and regulations may expose us to reputational harm as well as significant penalties, including criminal fines, imprisonment, civil fines, disgorgement of profits, injunctions and debarment from government contracts, as well as other remedial measures. Investigations of alleged violations can be expensive and disruptive. Despite our compliance efforts and activities we cannot assure compliance by our employees or representatives for which we may be held responsible, and any such violation could materially adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Reworded

We are subject to export control and import laws and regulations, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, U.S. Customs regulations, and various economic and trade sanctions regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Controls, and anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the US Travel Act, the USA PATRIOT Act and other state and national anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in the countries in which we conduct activities. Anti-corruption laws are interpreted broadly and prohibit companies and their employees, agents, CROs, contractors and other collaborators and partners from authorizing, promising, offering, providing, soliciting or receiving, directly or indirectly, improper payments or anything else of value to or from recipients in the public or private sector. We may engage third parties for clinical trials outside of the United States, to sell our products abroad once we enter a commercialization phase, and/or to obtain necessary permits, licenses, patent registrations and other regulatory approvals. We have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or government-affiliated hospitals, universities and other organizations. We can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of our employees, agents, CROs, contractors and other collaborators and partners, even if we do not explicitly authorize or have actual knowledge of such activities. We are also subject to other U.S. laws and regulations governing export controls, as well as economic sanctions and embargoes on certain countries and persons.

Any violations of the laws and regulations described above may result in substantial civil and criminal fines and penalties, imprisonment, the loss of export or import privileges, debarment, tax reassessments, breach of contract and fraud litigation, reputational harm and other consequences.

From time to time, the global credit and financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, inflation, increases in unemployment rates and interest rates and uncertainty about economic stability, including changes related to the U.S. and foreign governments in tariffs and trade policies affecting trade between the U.S and other countries. There can be no assurance that future deterioration in credit and financial markets and confidence in economic conditions will not occur. Our general business strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturn, volatile business environment or continued unpredictable and unstable market conditions. The financial markets and the global economy may also be adversely affected by the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, including the wars between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas, terrorism or other geopolitical events. Sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries in response to such conflicts may also adversely impact the financial markets and the global economy, and any economic countermeasures by the affected countries or others could exacerbate market and economic instability. In addition, in 2023 the closures of financial institutions and their placement into receivership with the FDIC created bank-specific and broader financial institution liquidity risk and concerns. Future adverse developments with respect to specific financial institutions or the broader financial services industry may lead to market-wide liquidity shortages, impair the ability of companies to access near-term working capital needs, and create additional market and economic uncertainty. There can be no assurance that future credit and financial market instability and a deterioration in confidence in economic conditions will not occur. Our general business strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturn, liquidity shortages, volatile business environment, changes in tariffs and trade policies or continued unpredictable and unstable market conditions. If the equity and credit markets deteriorate, or if adverse developments are experienced by financial institutions, it may cause short-term liquidity risk and also make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly, more onerous with respect to financial and operating covenants and more dilutive. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial performance and stock price. In addition, there is a risk that one or more of our current service providers, financial institutions, manufacturers and other partners may be adversely affected by the foregoing risks, which could directly affect our ability to attain our operating goals on schedule and on budget.

We expect theThe rules and regulations applicable to public companies tohave substantially increaseincreased our legal and financial compliance costs and to makemade some activities more time-consuming and costly. If these requirements divert the attention of our management and personnel from other business concerns, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The increased costs will decrease our net income or increase our net loss, and may require us to reduce costs in other areas of our business or increase the prices of our products or services. For example, we expect these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to incur substantial costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. We cannot predict or estimate the amount or timing of additional costs we may incur to respond to these requirements. The impact of these requirements could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board, our Board committees or as executive officers.

In addition, if any pandemic or epidemic disease infects our genetically modified animals, which form the basis of our platform, or if there is an outbreak among our employees or our subcontractor’s employees who maintain and care for these animals, we and our partners may be unable to produce antibodies for development. The COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation measures had, and any emergence of variants thereof or future pandemic or epidemic disease outbreaks may have, an adverse impact on global economic conditions which could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition and the trading price of shares of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital when needed. The extent to which pandemics or epidemics diseases impact our results of operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including information that may emerge concerning new variants of COVID-19.predicted. Further, to the extent any outbreak of an epidemic disease adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this section.

The sale of all the securities being offered in either or both of the Resale S-3Registration Statements could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our securities. Despite such a decline in the public trading price, some of the Sellingselling Securityholderssecurityholders under 2023 Resale Registration may still experience a positive rate of return on the securities they purchased due to the differences in the purchase prices described in the 2023 Resale S-3.Registration Statement. Additionally, even if the current trading price of our common stock is at or significantly below the price at which the units were issued in the IPO, some of the Sellingselling Securityholderssecurityholders may still have an incentive to sell because they could still profit on sales due to the lower price at which they purchased their shares compared to the public investors. For example, the 5,750,000 Founder Shares (as defined in the 2023 Registration Statement) were initially purchased by the Sponsor at a price of $0.004 per share. Based on the closing price of our common stock on February 28,25, 20252026 of $3.48$1.79 per share, the holders of the Founder Shares, including affiliates of the Sponsor, would experience a potential profit of up to approximately $3.476$1.786 per share, or approximately $20.0$10.3 million in the aggregate. Public securityholders may not be able to experience the same positive rates of return on securities they purchase due to the low price at which the Sponsor initially purchased the Founder Shares.

Our proprietary technologies are joined with and leverage a suite of in silico, artificial intelligence and machine learning tools for therapeutic discovery and optimization that are woven throughout our various technologies and capabilities. Additionally, an established core competency focused on ion channels and transporters further differentiates OmniAb’s technology and creates opportunities in many important and emerging target classes. OmniAb technologies are designed to be leveraged for the discovery of a variety of next-generation antibody-based therapeutic modalities, including bi- and multi-specific biologics, antibody-drug conjugates, CAR-T therapies, targeted radiotherapeutics, peptides and many others.

We partner with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and leading academic institutions that vary in size, clinical stage, geography and therapeutic focus. Our partners gain access to wide repertoires of antibodies and state-of-the-art screening technologies designed to enable efficient discovery of next-generation novel therapeutics and deliver high-quality therapeutic antibody candidates for a wide range of diseases. Our partners can select a biological target to treat a disease and define the antibody properties needed for therapeutic development or use certain of our technologies directly in their own laboratories.

We believe the long-term value of our business will be driven by royalties given that such payments are based on global sales of potential future partner programs, which generally provide for larger and recurring payments as compared to technology access, research and milestone payments. We believe our revenue will be materially driven by milestones and services in the shorter term, and by royalties in the longer term, from our partnered programs. However, there is significant uncertainty in timing and likelihood of reaching marketing authorization in drug discovery and development, and we cannot be certain when, if at all, royalty payments will be a material portion of our revenue. Furthermore, we do not control the progression, clinical development, regulatory strategy or eventual commercialization of programs discovered using our platform, and as a result, we are dependent on our partners’ efforts and decisions with respect to such programs.

Costs and Operating Expenses

Added

•Cost of xPloration revenue consists of contract manufacturing costs, material parts costs and associated freight, shipping and handling costs, royalty costs, and other direct costs related to xPloration revenue recognized in the period. During the year ended December 31, 2025, cost of xPloration revenue increased due to direct costs associated with xPloration revenue recognized during the period.

Added

•Research and development expenses consist of (1) personnel related expenses, including salaries, benefits and share-based compensation, (2) external expenses, including third-party costs for goods and services such as lab supplies and contract research, and (3) facility and other overhead expenses, including depreciation and occupancy costs. Research and development expenses decreased primarily due to lower personnel expenses related to lower headcount and lower share-based compensation expense, and lower external expenses associated with ion channel programs and lower contract research costs. This decrease was partially offset by $3.9 million of impairment charges. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we determined that certain property and equipment related to small molecule ion channel assets was impaired. The $3.3 million impairment charge was recorded as a facility and other overhead research and development expense. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025, an impairment charge of $0.6 million was recorded as an external research and development expense for the impairment of certain prepaid research technology. For the year ended December 31, 2024, there was no impairment recorded to research and development expenses.

Added

•General and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to lower legal fees and share-based compensation expense.

In December 2023, we entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM (the “Sales Agreement”), with Jefferies LLC (the “Sales Agent”) under which we may, from time to time, sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million in an “at the market” (“ATM”) offerings program through the Sales Agent. Sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, or as otherwise agreed with the Sales Agent. The Sales Agent will receive a commission from us of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of any shares of common stock sold under the Sales Agreement. Sales of our common stock made pursuant to the Sales Agreement are made under our shelf registration statement on Form S‐3 which was filed on December 8, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on December 18, 2023.

Added

The Company’s revenue is typically derived from license agreements with its partners and consists of: (i) upfront or annual payments for technology access (license revenue), (ii) payments for the performance of research services (service revenue), (iii) downstream payments in the form of preclinical, intellectual property, clinical, regulatory, and commercial milestones (milestone revenue) and (iv) royalties on net sales from our partners’ product sales (royalty revenue).

Removed

License revenue is recognized when (or as) control of a performance obligation is transferred to the customer. When combined performance obligations contain a promised license and related services or other promises, management judgment is required to determine whether revenue is recognized at a point in time or over time. If a license for technology access is deemed to be the predominant promise in a performance obligation, we first determine the nature of the license, whether functional or symbolic intellectual property, to conclude whether revenue recognition as of a point in time or over time is most appropriate. The determination of functional or symbolic intellectual property requires an assessment of whether the customer is able to benefit from the license in its current condition, or if the utility of the license is dependent on or influenced by our ongoing activities.

Reworded

At the inception of each agreement, we determine which promises represent distinct performance obligations, for which management must use significant judgment. Additionally, at inception and at each reporting date thereafter, we must determine and update, as appropriate, the transaction price, which includes variable consideration such as development and commercial milestones. We include contingent milestone based payments in the estimated transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the payment and it is probable of being achieved. These estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated results and management’s best judgment at the time. If the contingent milestone based payment is sales-based, we apply the royalty recognition constraint and record revenue when the underlying sale has taken place. Significant judgments must be made in determining the transaction price for licenses of intellectual property. Because of the risk that products in development with partners will not reach development based milestones or receive regulatory approval, we generally recognize any contingent payments that would be due upon achievement of the development milestone or regulatory approval.

Goodwill — Impairment Assessment

Added

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying value. Events that would indicate impairment and trigger an interim impairment test include, but are not limited to, current economic and market conditions, including a decline in market capitalization, a significant adverse change in legal factors, business climate or operational performance of the business.

Added

Goodwill impairment is assessed at the reporting unit level. During the goodwill impairment review, we assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units are less than the carrying amounts, including goodwill. The qualitative factors include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, and our overall financial performance. If, after assessing the totality of these qualitative factors, we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units are less than the carrying amounts, then no additional assessment is deemed necessary. Otherwise, we compare the estimated fair values of the reporting units with the carrying values, including goodwill. If the carrying amounts of the reporting units exceed the fair values, we record an impairment loss based on the difference. If a quantitative assessment is performed, the evaluation includes estimates of cash flow projections and includes assumptions such as revenue growth, terminal values and discount rates. We also consider our market capitalization as a part of our analysis. We may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment in a period and proceed to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test.

Removed

We recognize service revenue for contracted R&D services performed for partners over time. We measure our progress using an input method based on the effort we expend or cost we incur relative to the estimated total effort or costs to satisfy the performance obligation. This results in a percentage that is multiplied by the transaction price to determine the amount of revenue recognized each period. This approach requires us to make estimates and use judgment. If estimates or judgments change over the course of the collaboration, they may affect the timing and amount of revenue recognized in current and future periods.

Removed

We occasionally have sub-license obligations related to arrangements for which we receive license fees, milestones and royalties. We evaluate the determination of gross as a principal versus net as an agent reporting based on each individual agreement.

Removed

Our license agreements typically grant a perpetual license to our technology and are typically terminable by our partners without penalty with specified notice. License fees are nonrefundable, and termination of a license does not impact previously received and recognized license revenue. In addition, all milestone payments and royalties survive termination of the license agreement and continue with respect to any OmniAb-derived antibodies discovered under the license agreement and would be recognized when achieved in accordance with our revenue recognition policies regardless of a license termination. As such, any license agreement termination would not affect our revenue recognition policies.

Removed

For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, and under which the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, we recognize revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). Each quarterly period, sales-based royalties are recorded based on estimated quarterly net sales of the associated collaboration products. Differences between actual results and estimated amounts are adjusted for in the period in which they become known, which typically follows the quarterly period in which the estimate was made. To date, actual royalties received have not differed materially from our estimates.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, we elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeded to perform the quantitative assessment. We performed a recoverability test by comparing the small molecule ion channel asset group’s carrying amount to estimated undiscounted cash flows, which indicated the carrying amount was not recoverable. As a result, we recorded a $3.3 million impairment charge related to certain ion channel property and equipment, recognized within “Research and development” expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Fair value was determined based on estimated liquidation value, considering physical condition, functionality, and market conditions.

Income Taxes

Removed

Our provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect our best assessment of estimated current and future taxes to be paid. Significant judgments and estimates based on interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations in the United States are required in determining our provision for income taxes. Changes in tax laws, statutory tax rates, and estimates of our future taxable income could impact the deferred tax assets and liabilities provided for in the consolidated financial statements and would require an adjustment to the provision for income taxes.

Removed

Deferred tax assets are regularly assessed to determine the likelihood they will be recovered from future taxable income. A valuation allowance is established when we believe it is more likely than not the future realization of all or some of a deferred tax asset will not be achieved. In evaluating our ability to recover deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative evidence. Factors reviewed can include the cumulative pre-tax book income (loss) for the past three years, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, our history of earnings and reliability of our forecasts, projections of pre-tax book income over the foreseeable future, and the impact of any feasible and prudent tax planning strategies.

Removed

We recognize the impact of a tax position in our financial statements only if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax authorities can examine our returns in the jurisdictions in which we do business and we regularly assess the tax risk of our return filing positions. Due to the complexity of some of the uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in payments that are materially different from our current estimate of the tax liability. These differences, as well as any interest and penalties, will be reflected in the provision for income taxes in the period in which they are determined.
