Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share data)

1. Nature of Business and Operations

Nature of Business and Operations

Summit Therapeutics Inc. (“we”, “Summit” or the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of patient-, physician-, caregiver- and societal-friendly medicinal therapies intended to improve quality of life, increase potential duration of life, and resolve serious unmet medical needs.

The Company’s current lead development candidate is ivonescimab, a novel, potential first-in-class bispecific antibody intending to combine the effects of immunotherapy via a blockade of PD-1 with the anti-angiogenesis effects of an anti-VEGF compound into a single molecule. On December 5, 2022, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Akeso, Inc. and its affiliates (“Akeso”) pursuant to which the Company has in-licensed ivonescimab as further described in Note 7. Through the License Agreement, the Company obtained the rights to develop and commercialize ivonescimab in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, and through the subsequent amendment with Akeso signed on June 3, 2024, expanded the Company's licensed territories to include the Latin America, Middle East and Africa regions (collectively, and as expanded, the “Licensed Territory”). The License Agreement and transaction closed in January 2023 following customary waiting periods. The Company’s operations are focused on the development of ivonescimab and other future activities, as the Company determines.

The Company has begun its development for ivonescimab in non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”), specifically launching Phase III clinical trials in the following indications:

a) ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (“EGFR”)-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC who have progressed after treatment with a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (“TKI”) (“HARMONi”); and

b) ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy in first-line metastatic squamous NSCLC patients (“HARMONi-3”)

As of the date of these financial statements, both studies are enrolling patients.

The entry into the License Agreement with Akeso represented a significant change in the Company’s strategy and its future operations are focused on the development of ivonescimab and other future activities as the Company determines. The Company’s portfolio also includes ridinilazole, a product candidate for treating patients suffering from Clostridioides difficile infection, also known as C. difficile infection, or CDI, and SMT-738, the first of a novel class of precision antibiotics for combating multidrug resistant infections, specifically carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (“CRE”) infections. All prior development activities related to ridinilazole and SMT-738 have been terminated; the Company will continue to pursue partnerships for both assets.

2. Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements are not included herein. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim financial data as of June 30, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the consolidated audited financial statement as of that date. The results of the period are not necessarily indicative of full year results or any other interim period. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of the Company which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 20, 2024. The financial results of the Company's activities are reported in United States Dollars.

(in thousands, except share and per share data)
Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued research and development expenses, stock-based compensation, goodwill, other long-lived assets and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Summary of Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are consistent with those discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, except as updated below:

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of investments with original maturities greater than ninety days from the date of acquisition. The Company classifies investments with maturities of greater than 90 days as short-term, based on the liquid nature of the securities and because such marketable securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations. The Company considers its investment portfolio of investments as available-for-sale. Accordingly, these investments are recorded at fair value, which is based on quoted market prices or other observable inputs. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis and are included in other (expense) income. Amortization and accretion of discounts and premiums are also recorded in other (expense) income.

When the fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset, an estimate of expected credit losses is made. This estimate is limited to the amount by which fair value is less than amortized cost. The credit-related impairment amount is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and the remaining impairment amount and unrealized gains are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. Credit losses are recognized through the use of an allowance for credit losses account and subsequent improvements in expected credit losses are recognized as a reversal of the allowance account. If the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis the allowance for credit loss is written off and the excess of the amortized cost basis of the asset over its fair value is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU 2023-07"), Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to provide more disaggregated expense information about a public entity’s reportable segments. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and disclosures.

4. Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $60,385 and $103,858, respectively, and cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $63,136. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,097,116, cash and cash equivalents of $28,434, short-term investments in U.S. treasury securities of $297,035 and current and long-term U.K. research and development tax credits receivable of $1,317. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future.

Summit Therapeutics Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
The Company has evaluated whether its cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and U.K. research and development tax credits provide sufficient cash to fund its operating cash needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is investing in the clinical development of ivonescimab, including its ongoing clinical trials. In addition, the Company has a $100,000 promissory note and interest payable to a related party (refer to Note 14 for further details) that matures on April 1, 2025. Based upon the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short term investments as of June 30, 2024 and after factoring in the repayment of the $100,000 promissory note, the Company has capital resources to fund its operating plan for approximately 12 months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, however, the Company will need to raise additional equity or debt capital to further fund its operating cash needs for the period shortly after approximately 12 months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, additional capital has not yet been secured. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Until the Company can generate substantial revenue and achieve profitability, the Company will need to raise additional capital to fund its ongoing operations and capital needs. The Company continues to evaluate options to further finance its operating cash needs for its product candidates through a combination of some, or all, of the following: equity and debt offerings, collaborations, strategic alliances, grants and clinical trial support from government entities, philanthropic, non-government and not-for-profit organizations, and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. There is no assurance, however, that additional financing will be available when needed or that management of the Company will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain funding when required in the future, the Company could be required to delay, reduce, or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion, or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of the business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

5. Segment Reporting

The Company's chief operating decision makers (the "CODM function"), which are the Company's CEOs, Mr. Duggan and Dr. Zanganeh, utilize consolidated financial information to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. The CODM function approves of key operating and strategic decisions, including key decisions in clinical development and clinical operating activities, entering into significant contracts, such as revenue contracts and collaboration agreements and approves the Company's consolidated operating budget. The CODM function views the Company's operations and manages its business as a single reportable operating segment. The Company's single operating segment covers the Company’s research and development activities, primarily comprising of oncology product research activities (including ivonescimab). As the Company operates as one operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company operates in two geographic regions: the U.K. and the U.S. The following table summarizes the Company's long-lived assets, which include the Company's property and equipment, net and right-of-use assets by geography:
June 30, 2024December 31, 2023
United Kingdom$684 $808 
United States(1)
8,255 5,254 
$8,939 $6,062 

(1) The increase in long-lived assets as of June 30, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023, is primarily due to $3,937 of net right-of use assets recorded as a result of the Company entering into a new lease agreement for its Miami, FL headquarters, partially offset by $1,234 of amortization expense for right-of-use assets relating to lease agreements for its office space in Menlo Park, CA.

Income from tax credits consist of R&D tax credits received in the U.K. The Company benefits from the Small and Medium Enterprise Program ("SME Program") U.K. research and development tax credit cash rebate regime, and The Research and Development Expenditure Credit ("The RDEC scheme"), a UK government tax incentive that promotes innovation amongst UK's larger businesses. Qualifying expenditures largely comprise of employment costs for research staff, consumables, a proportion of relevant, permitted sub-contract costs and certain internal overhead costs incurred as part of research projects for which the Company does not receive income. Tax credits related to the SME Program and The RDEC scheme are recorded as other operating income in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss. Under these schemes, the Company receives cash payments that are not dependent on the Company’s pre-tax net income levels.

Based on criteria established by His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs ("HMRC"), a portion of expenditures being carried out in relation to the Company's pipeline research and development, clinical trials management and third-party manufacturing development activities are eligible for the SME regime and the Company expects such elements of research and development expenditure incurred in its UK entities will also continue to be eligible for the SME regime for future periods.
As of June 30, 2024, the current and non-current research and development tax credit receivable was $953 and $364, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the current and non-current research and development tax credit receivable was $848 and $959, respectively.

CARB-X (as defined below)

In May 2021, the Company announced the selection of a new preclinical candidate, SMT-738, from the DDS-04 series for development in the fight against multi-drug resistant infections, specifically Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae ("CRE") infections. Simultaneously, the Company announced it had received an award from the Trustees of Boston University under the Combating Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria Biopharmaceutical Accelerator program ("CARB-X") to progress this candidate through preclinical development and Phase Ia clinical trials. The award committed initial funding of up to $4,100, with the possibility of up to another $3,700 based on the achievement of future milestones. As of June 30, 2024, based on translation of historical foreign currency amounts in the period, the Company has recognized $2,920 of cumulative income since contract inception.

7. Akeso Collaboration and License Agreement

On December 5, 2022, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Akeso, Inc. and its affiliates (“Akeso”) pursuant to which the Company is in-licensing Akeso's breakthrough bispecific antibody, ivonescimab. The License Agreement and transaction closed in January 2023 following customary waiting periods.

Ivonescimab, known as AK112 in China and Australia, and also as SMT112 in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan, is a novel, potential first-in-class bispecific antibody intending to combine the effects of immunotherapy via a blockade of PD-1 with the anti-angiogenesis effects of an anti-VEGF into a single molecule. Ivonescimab was engineered to bring two well established oncology targeted mechanisms together. Ivonescimab is currently in clinical development and, pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Summit will design and conduct the clinical trial activities to support regulatory filings in the Licensed Territory that Summit will submit.

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Summit will have final decision-making authority with respect to clinical development strategy and execution in the Licensed Territory. For co-joined studies in which both Summit and Akeso participate, mutual agreement is required for material decisions; Summit retains the exclusive decision making with respect to participating in, and continuing its participation in, co-joined studies. Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Summit will have final decision-making authority with respect to commercial strategy, pricing and reimbursement and other commercialization matters in the Licensed Territory. In connection with the License Agreement, the Company has also entered into a Supply Agreement with Akeso, pursuant to which Summit agrees to purchase a certain portion of drug substance for clinical and commercial supply. Summit is not assuming any liabilities (including contingent liabilities), acquiring any physical assets or trade names, or hiring or acquiring any employees from Akeso in connection with the License Agreement. Through the License Agreement, the Company obtained the rights to develop and commercialize ivonescimab in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan.

In exchange for the rights obtained, an upfront payment of $500,000 was made to Akeso, of which $274,900 was paid in cash and, pursuant to the License Agreement and Issuance Agreement, Akeso elected to receive 10,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock in lieu of $25,100 cash. The remaining $200,000 amount of the upfront payment was paid on March 6, 2023.

Effective June 3, 2024, the Company and Akeso entered into an amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the License Agreement to expand the Company’s territories covered under the License Agreement to include the Latin America, Middle East and Africa regions. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company agreed to make an upfront payment to Akeso in the amount of $15,000 which is expected to be paid out in the third quarter of 2024. Akeso will also be eligible to receive up to an additional $55,000 upon the achievement of certain commercial milestones. Except as specifically modified by the Second Amendment, the terms and conditions of the License Agreement remain in full force and effect.

The Company has accounted for the License Agreement and Second Amendment to acquire the rights to develop and commercialize ivonescimab as the acquisition of an asset. All of the consideration relates to ivonescimab and technological feasibility of the asset has not yet been established since ivonescimab is in clinical development. As such, the Company has expensed the consideration as acquired in-process research and development upon closing of the transaction in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Acquired in-process research and development expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $15,007, which is comprised of the upfront payment of $15,000 and immaterial transaction costs, and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, $520,915, which is comprised of the $474,900 paid in cash, the fair value of the 10,000,000 shares of common stock on the date of closing the transaction of $45,900, and $115 of direct transactions costs incurred.

In addition to the payments already made to Akeso, under the License Agreement and Second Amendment, there are additional potential milestone payments of up to $4,555,000, as Akeso will be eligible to receive regulatory milestones of up to $1,050,000 and commercial milestones of up to $3,505,000. In addition, Akeso will be eligible to receive low double-digit royalties on net sales.

(in thousands, except share and per share data)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, other expense, net primarily consisted of loan interest expense incurred related to the $100,000 promissory note as described in Note 14. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, other expense, net primarily consisted of loan interest expense incurred related to the $520,000 promissory notes, as described in Note 14. These amounts for all periods presented are partially offset by investment income related to the Company's money market funds and short-term investments in U.S. treasury securities.

9. Net Loss per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share:

Three Months Ended

2024202320242023
Net loss $(60,385)$(14,717)$(103,858)$(557,093)
Basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding707,904,643 697,685,365 704,844,946 538,807,328 
Diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding707,904,643 697,685,365 704,844,946 538,807,328 
Basic net loss per share $(0.09)$(0.02)$(0.15)$(1.03)
Diluted net loss per share $(0.09)$(0.02)$(0.15)$(1.03)

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the diluted net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including potentially dilutive common shares. Since the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share for all periods, as the inclusion of all potential common share equivalents outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.

The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share of common stock for the periods presented because their effect would have been anti-dilutive:

Stock options that are outstanding and contain performance-based or market-based vesting criteria for which the performance or market conditions have not been met are excluded from the presentation of common stock equivalents outstanding in the table above.

10. Fair Value Measurements and Short-Term Investments

In accordance with the provisions of fair value accounting, a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability and defines fair value based on the exit price model.

The fair value measurement guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

13

Summit Therapeutics Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments or securities or derivative contracts that are valued using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the Company categorizes such assets and liabilities based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset.

The following tables sets forth the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

11. Goodwill

Goodwill

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, goodwill was $1,880 and $1,893, respectively. Changes in the gross carrying amount of goodwill during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023, are the result of changes in foreign currency. As of December 31, 2023, the Company performed its annual impairment assessment of goodwill and determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount. There have been no cumulative goodwill impairments recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

12. Leases

The Company has operating leases for real estate. The Company does not have any finance leases.

In the first fiscal quarter of 2024, the Company recorded $4,216 of additional right-of-use assets related to a new lease for office space that commenced during the period for its Miami, Florida headquarters location ("Miami HQ"). Total future lease payments as of June 30, 2024, which include base rent and sales tax, are approximately $4,579 on an undiscounted basis. This lease commenced on February 1, 2024 and has a term of 64 months. As of June 30, 2024 the Company has $320 of restricted cash associated with an irrevocable letter of credit required by the landlord to enter into this lease. The carrying value of the right-of-use assets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $8,716 and $5,859, respectively.

Sublease to Related Parties

Effective April 1, 2024, the Company entered into two sublease agreements of its Miami HQ location, one with Genius 24C Inc. ("Genius"), an affiliate of Robert W. Duggan (the "Genius Sublease Agreement") and one with Duggan Investments Research LLC ("Investments Research"), an affiliate of Robert W. Duggan (the "Investments Research Sublease Agreement"). Pursuant to the Genius Sublease Agreement, Genius will sublease from the Company 848 square feet of office space in the Miami HQ for a sixty-two month term for total rental payments of approximately $446. Pursuant to the Investments Research Sublease Agreement, Investments Research will sublease from the Company 848 square feet of office space in the Miami HQ for a sixty-two month term for total rental payments of approximately $446.

13. Research and Development Prepaid Expenses and Accrued Liabilities

Included within prepaid expenses and other current assets at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is $498 and $1,466, respectively, of prepayments relating to research and development expenditures. Included within accrued liabilities at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is $6,279 and $7,289, respectively, relating to research and development expenditures.

These amounts are determined based on the estimated costs to complete each study or activity related to the ongoing clinical trials for ivonescimab, the estimation of the current stage of completion and the invoices received, as well as predetermined milestones which are not reflective of the current stage of development for prepaid expenses. However, prepaid expenses decrease and accrued liabilities increase as the activities progress, and if actual costs incurred exceed the prepaid expenses, an accrual will be recorded for the liability. The key sensitivity is the estimated current stage of completion of each study or activity, which is based on information received from the supplier and the Company’s operational knowledge of the work completed under those contracts.

14. Promissory Note Payable to Related Parties

Current promissory note payable to a related party was $100,000 as of June 30, 2024 and non-current as of December 31, 2023.

December 2022 Promissory Note

On December 6, 2022, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement"), with Mr. Duggan and Dr. Zanganeh, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to each of Mr. Duggan and Dr. Zanganeh unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $520,000. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Mr. Duggan and Dr. Zanganeh unsecured promissory notes in the amount of $400,000 (the "Duggan February Note") and $20,000 (the "Zanganeh Note"), respectively, which would mature and become due on February 15, 2023 and an unsecured promissory note to Mr. Duggan in the amount of $100,000 (the “Duggan September Note” and together with the Duggan February Note and the Zanganeh Note, the “December 2022 Notes”), which was originally due on September 15, 2023. The maturity dates of the December 2022 Notes could be extended one or more times at the Company’s election, but in no event to a date later than September 6, 2024. In addition, if the Company consummates a public offering, then upon the later to occur of (i) five business days after the Company receives the net cash proceeds therefrom or (ii) May 15, 2023, the Duggan February Note and the Zanganeh Note shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the lesser of (a) 100% of the amount of the net proceeds of such offering and (b) the outstanding principal amount on such Notes.

On January 19, 2023, the Company provided notice to extend the term of the Duggan February Note and Duggan September Note to a maturity date of September 6, 2024. Furthermore, on January 19, 2023, the Company and Mr. Duggan rectified the Duggan February Note and Duggan September Note in order to correctly reflect the parties’ intent that the Company may only prepay (i) the Duggan February Note following the completion of a public rights offering to be conducted by Summit in the approximate amount of $500,000, or a similar capital raise, in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the net proceeds of the Rights Offering or such capital raise or (y) the full amount outstanding of the Duggan February Note, and (ii) Duggan September Note following the completion of a capital raising transaction subsequent to the 2023 Rights Offering in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the net proceeds of such capital raise or (B) the full amount outstanding of the Duggan September Note. Following the issuance of the two new Promissory Notes (the “Duggan Promissory Notes”), the Duggan February Note and Duggan September Note were marked as “cancelled” on their face and replaced in their entirety by the Duggan Promissory Notes (together with the Zanganeh Note, the "Notes").

On February 15, 2023, the $20,000 Zanganeh Note matured and the Company repaid the outstanding principal balance. In connection with the closing of the 2023 Rights Offering, the $400,000 Duggan Promissory Note matured and became due, and the Company satisfied all principal and accrued interest thereunder using a combination of a portion of the cash proceeds from the 2023 Rights Offering and the extinguishment of a portion of the amount due equal to the subscription price for shares subscribed by Mr. Duggan in the 2023 Rights Offering.

16

Summit Therapeutics Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
The Notes accrued interest at an initial rate of 7.5%. All interest on the Notes was paid on the date of signing for the period through February 15, 2023. Such prepaid interest was paid in a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (“Common Stock”) equal to the dollar amount of such prepaid interest, divided by $0.7913 (the consolidated closing bid price immediately preceding the time the Company entered into the Note Purchase Agreement, plus $0.01), which was 9,720,291 shares. For all applicable periods following February 15, 2023, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Notes at the US prime interest rate, as reported in the Wall Street Journal, plus 50 basis points, as adjusted monthly, for three months immediately following February 15, 2023, and thereafter at the US prime rate plus 300 basis points, as adjusted monthly. Such accrued interest shall be paid in cash, quarterly in arrears, on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31.

Debt issuance costs associated with the Notes were $44 and were capitalized as part of the carrying value of the promissory notes payable to related parties.

On February 17, 2024, the Duggan February Note was amended and restated to extend the maturity date from September 6, 2024 to April 1, 2025. For all applicable periods commencing February 17, 2024, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance at the greater of 12% or the US prime interest rate, as reported in the Wall Street Journal plus 350 basis points, as adjusted monthly, compounded quarterly. Interest shall be paid upon maturity of the loan.

The debt discount is amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate of the Duggan February Note and Zanganeh Note was 8.9% and the effective interest rate of the Duggan September Note is 12.4%.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred interest expense of $3,102 and $6,223, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred interest expense of $2,515 and $10,842, respectively.

16. Stock-Based Compensation and Warrants

The Company currently grants stock options to employees and directors under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan") and formerly, the Company granted stock options under the 2016 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan"). The 2020 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors ("Board"). The 2020 Plan is intended to attract and retain employees and directors and provide an incentive for these individuals to assist the Company to achieve long-range performance goals and to enable these individuals to participate in the long-term growth of the Company.

On May 3, 2024, the Board adopted the 2024 Inducement Pool (the “Inducement Pool”), which mirrors the terms of the 2020 Plan, with a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Inducement Pool. The Inducement Pool provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options and was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board without stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

The Inducement Pool is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. In accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, non-qualified stock options under the Inducement Pool may only be made to an employee who has not previously been an employee of the Company or member of the Board of Directors of the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company), if he or she is granted such non-qualified stock options in connection with his or her commencement of employment with the Company or a subsidiary and such grant is an inducement material to his or her entering into employment with the Company or such subsidiary. As of June 30, 2024, there were 1,470,000 shares available for grant under the Inducement Pool.

Company Overview

Summit Therapeutics Inc. (“we”, “Summit” or the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of patient-, physician-, caregiver- and societal-friendly medicinal therapies intended to improve quality of life, increase potential duration of life, and resolve serious unmet medical needs. The Company’s pipeline of product candidates is designed with the goal to become the patient-friendly, new-era standard-of-care medicines, in the therapeutic area of oncology.

The Company’s current lead development candidate is ivonescimab, a novel, potential first-in-class bispecific antibody intending to combine the effects of immunotherapy via a blockade of PD-1 with the anti-angiogenesis effects of an anti-VEGF compound into a single molecule. On December 5, 2022, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Akeso, Inc. and its affiliates (“Akeso”) pursuant to which the Company has in-licensed ivonescimab. Through the License Agreement, the Company obtained the rights to develop and commercialize ivonescimab in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan. The License Agreement and transaction closed in January 2023 following customary waiting periods. On June 3, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the License Agreement with Akeso to expand its territories covered under the License Agreement to also include the Latin America, Middle East and Africa regions (collectively, and as expanded, the "Licensed Territory"). The Company’s operations are focused on the development of ivonescimab and other future activities, as the Company determines.

The Company has begun its development for ivonescimab in non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”), specifically launching Phase III clinical trials in the following indications:

a) ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (“EGFR”)-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC who have progressed after treatment with a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (“TKI”) (“HARMONi”); and

b) ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy in first-line metastatic squamous NSCLC patients (“HARMONi-3”)

As of the date of this filing, both studies are enrolling patients.

The entry into the License Agreement with Akeso represented a significant change in the Company’s strategy and its future operations will be focused on the development of ivonescimab and other future activities as the Company determines. The Company’s portfolio also includes ridinilazole, a product candidate for treating patients suffering from Clostridioides difficile infection, also known as C. difficile infection, or CDI, and SMT-738, the first of a novel class of precision antibiotics for combating multidrug resistant infections, specifically carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (“CRE”) infections. All prior development activities related to ridinilazole and SMT-738 have been terminated; the Company will continue to pursue partnerships for both assets.


23




Akeso Collaboration and License Agreement

Pursuant to the License Agreement with Akeso, the Company received the rights to develop and commercialize ivonescimab in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan. Akeso will retain development and commercialization rights for the rest of the world excluding such licensed territories. In exchange for these rights, Summit made an upfront payment during the first quarter of 2023 comprised of $474.9 million cash and the issuance of 10 million shares of the Company's common stock in lieu of $25.1 million cash pursuant to a share transfer agreement. Furthermore, on June 3, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the License Agreement with Akeso to expand its territories covered under the License Agreement to also include the Latin America, Middle East and Africa regions (collectively, and as expanded, the "Licensed Territory"), for which Summit will pay an upfront payment of $15.0 million cash. In addition, the Company will potentially owe Akeso (a) milestone payments tied to achievement of regulatory approval of ivonescimab with various regulatory authorities in the Licensed Territory (b) milestone payments tied to achievement of annual revenue from ivonescimab in the Licensed Territory and (c) royalty payments equal to low-double-digit percentage of annual revenues from ivonescimab in the Licensed Territory.

Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Summit will have final decision-making authority with respect to clinical development strategy and execution in the Licensed Territory. For co-joined studies in which both Summit and Akeso participate, mutual agreement is required for material decisions; Summit retains the exclusive decision making with respect to participating in, and continuing its participation in, co-joined studies. In connection with the License Agreement, the Company has also agreed to enter into a Supply Agreement with Akeso (the "Supply Agreement"). Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, Summit agreed to purchase a certain portion of drug substance for clinical and commercial supply. Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Summit will have final decision-making authority with respect to commercial strategy, pricing and reimbursement and other commercialization matters in the Licensed Territory.

Summit has not assumed any liabilities (including contingent liabilities), nor acquired any physical assets or trade names, or hired or acquired any employees from Akeso in connection with the License Agreement.

Ivonescimab

Ivonescimab is a novel potential first-in-class PD-1 / VEGF bispecific antibody, believed to be the most advanced in clinical development in the Licensed Territory; there are no known PD-1 / VEGF bispecific antibodies approved in our Licensed Territory. Engineered with Akeso’s unique Tetrabody technology, ivonescimab, as a single molecule, blocks programmed cell death protein 1 (“PD-1”) from binding to PD-L1 and PD-L2, and blocks vascular endothelial growth factor (“VEGF”) from binding to VEGF receptors. Ivonescimab is designed to potentially allow cooperative binding of the intended targets, such that the binding of PD-1 increases the binding affinity of VEGF and the binding of VEGF increases the affinity towards PD-1. In view of the co-expression of VEGF and PD-1 in the tumor micro-environment (“TME”), ivonescimab may block these two pathways more effectively and enhance the antitumor activity, as compared to combination therapy through what is believed to be a differentiated cooperative binding mechanism.


24




image (1).jpg
This could differentiate ivonescimab as there is potentially higher expression (presence) of both PD-1 and VEGF in tumor tissue and the TME as compared to normal tissue in the body. As shown in Akeso’s in-vitro studies, ivonescimab’s tetravalent structure (four binding sites) enables higher avidity (accumulated strength of multiple binding interactions) in the tumor microenvironment with over 18-fold increased binding affinity to PD-1 in the presence of VEGF in vitro, and over 4 times increased binding affinity to VEGF in the presence of PD-1 in vitro. This tetravalent structure, the intentional novel design of the molecule, and bringing these two targets into a single bispecific antibody with cooperative binding qualities have the potential to direct ivonescimab to the tumor tissue versus healthy tissue. The intent of this design, together with a half-life of six to seven days, is to improve upon previously established efficacy thresholds, in addition to side effects and safety profiles associated with these targets.

In addition to the two Phase III clinical trials sponsored by the Company, ivonescimab is also being developed in China and Australia by Akeso in multiple solid tumors and has been dosed in more than 1,800 patients globally.

Based on data published by Akeso at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO 2024) in the HARMONi-A study, in a single-region (China), randomized, double-blinded Phase III study in patients with NSCLC who have progressed following an EGFR-TKI, ivonescimab achieved its primary endpoint of Progression-free Survival (PFS) when combined with doublet chemotherapy (pemetrexed and carboplatin). Patients experienced a 54% reduction in disease progression or death as compared to placebo plus doublet-chemotherapy (HR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.34 - 0.62; p<0.001). In a pre-specified subgroup analysis of patients who received a previous third-generation TKI, a hazard ratio of 0.48 was observed. A median Overall Survival (mOS) in this study of 17.1 months was observed, reflecting a 20% reduction in death as compared to placebo plus chemotherapy in the study (HR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.59 - 1.08). The Phase III study was considered to have demonstrated a tolerable safety profile and a low discontinuation rate for adverse events.

Based on data published by Akeso at the 2024 European Lung Cancer Conference, in the AK112-201 (Cohort 1), a Phase II study conducted in China, for first-line advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients with squamous histology, (n=63), ivonescimab, combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel, in demonstrated a median PFS of 11.1 months. Median overall survival was not reached after a median follow-up period of 22.1 months. This Phase II study was considered to have demonstrated a tolerable safety profile and a low discontinuation rate for adverse events.

In addition, Akeso announced that ivonescimab administered as a monotherapy resulted in a statistically significant improvement in PFS when compared to monotherapy pembrolizumab in patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose tumors had positive PD-L1 expression. These results were generated from the HARMONi-2 study,
25




also referred to as AK112-303, a randomized, single-region (China) Phase III study. Akeso has announced that it intends to release the results from this study at an upcoming medical conference later in the year. This study was sponsored by Akeso.

Summit plans to conduct its current clinical trials, as well as design and conduct additional clinical trial activities for ivonescimab within its Licensed Territory, to support and submit relevant regulatory filings. Summit also plans to support additional study activities through its investigator-initiated study program.

Product Pipeline

Summit Sponsored Ivonescimab Trials: Ivonescimab is currently being investigated in global Phase III clinical trials. Phase I and II trials were completed by our partner Akeso. This pipeline reflects clinical trials that have been initiated by Summit in its Licensed Territory.

Screenshot 2024-02-16 145418.jpg

HARMONi study is a Phase III, multi-regional, potentially registration-enabling clinical trial that we joined with Akeso, and for which we started initiating and activating sites in North America and Europe during 2023. The first patient in our Licensed Territory was enrolled during the second quarter of 2023. We expect to complete enrollment during the second half of 2024. The co-primary endpoints for this study are progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and the study compares ivonescimab plus doublet-platinum chemotherapy versus placebo plus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy.

HARMONi-3 study is a Phase III, multi-regional, potentially registration-enabling clinical trial for which we initiated activating sites in North Americas and China during fourth quarter of 2023. We plan to initiate additional sites in North America, China, Europe , Japan, and several other countries through early 2025. Our plan to initiate in new countries and sites is dependent upon the timing and requirements for getting the regulatory approval of the clinical trial applications with the respective regulatory authorities and approvals from central or local independent review boards. We may decide to modify our plans to go in certain regions or countries based on the timelines and requirements from the respective regulatory regions. We commenced patient enrollment in the HARMONi-3 study during fourth quarter of 2023. The primary endpoint for this study is overall survival (OS), and the study compares ivonescimab plus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy versus pembrolizumab plus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we began collaborating with multiple institutions globally and opened our investigator initiated study program across several disease areas. In July 2024, we entered into a collaboration agreement with The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center with the intent to further accelerate the development of ivonescimab through pre-clinical and clinical studies.

In addition, our partners at Akeso are sponsoring multiple, ongoing Phase II and III clinical trials in NSCLC and other cancers outside of our Licensed Territory. We plan to review the data generated from these clinical trials as a part of our consideration for advancing our clinical development pipeline for ivonescimab in our Licensed Territory.

Total$45.8 $9.5 $76.7 $540.2 

Research and development expenses (excluding acquired in progress research and development noted below) increased by $21.3 million and $42.4 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to our continued investment in oncology expenses for ivonescimab, known as SMT112 in our Licensed Territory, resulting in an increase of $14.2 million and $32.7 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and an increase in compensation and stock-based compensation related expenses of $5.2 million and $8.1 million in the three and six months period ended June 30, 2024, respectively, to support the clinical development of ivonescimab as we continue to hire experts in the oncology field. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $1.9 million and $1.6 million in the three and six months period ended June 30, 2024, respectively, due to the discontinued development activities related to ridinilazole and SMT-738. We expect oncology-related research and development costs to continue to increase as we progress with the development of ivonescimab.

In June 2024, we entered into a second amendment (the "Second Amendment") to the License Agreement with Akeso to expand our licensed territories to include Latin America, Middle East and Africa regions. Considered an extension of the original License Agreement, we agreed to make an upfront payment to Akeso in the amount of $15.0 million for these expanded territories which we expect to pay in the third quarter of 2024. This was recorded in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as Acquired in process research and development expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
27




We incurred charges of $520.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 which primarily related to our upfront milestone payments pursuant to the License Agreement with Akeso. The License Agreement closed in January 2023, and both Akeso and Summit entered into the Common Stock Issuance Agreement (“Issuance Agreement”). Pursuant to the License Agreement and Issuance Agreement, Akeso elected to receive 10 million shares of our common stock in lieu of $25.1 million cash and was paid $274.9 million in cash as the initial upfront payment. The remaining $200.0 million upfront payment was paid on March 6, 2023. In-process research and development expense comprised of the $474.9 million paid in cash, the fair value of the 10 million shares of common stock on the date of closing the transaction of $45.9 million, and $0.1 million of direct transactions costs incurred.

General and Administrative Expenses

The table below summarizes our general and administrative expenses by category for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The table below summarizes our other expense, net by category for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, other expense, net primarily consisted of loan interest expense incurred related to the $100 million promissory note as described in Note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. These amounts for both periods presented are partially offset by investment income related to our money market funds and short-term investments in U.S. treasury securities.

Other (expense) income, net increased by $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to an increase in the interest expense on the $100 million promissory note. The $100 million promissory note was amended during the first quarter of 2024, resulting in a higher interest rate of 12.0% compared to the original agreement. This increase is coupled by a decrease of $0.6 million in interest income related to an overall decrease in our money market funds and our short-term investments in U.S. government securities and an increase in unfavorable changes in foreign currency of $0.5 million.

Other (expense) income, net decreased by $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a decrease of $1.1 million in interest income related to our money market funds and our short-term investments in U.S. government securities and a decrease of $4.6 million in interest expense on an outstanding promissory note to a related party, where amounts recognized in 2023 relate to the $520 million promissory notes issued to our CEOs in December 2022, an increase in unfavorable changes in foreign currency of $0.8 million and a decrease of $0.4 million related to the reclassification of cumulative foreign currency translation gains from accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through issuances of our common stock, including our most recent private placement issued for $200 million, issuance of debt, receipt of payments to us under license, collaboration, and commercialization arrangements, for example, our license and commercialization agreement with Eurofarma Laboratórios SA, or Eurofarma, development funding and other assistance from government entities, philanthropic, non-government and not-for-profit organizations for our product candidates. In particular, we have received funding from BARDA, CARB-X, Innovate UK, Wellcome Trust and a number of not-for-profit organizations.

We have devoted substantially all of our efforts to research and development, including clinical trials. We have not completed the development of any drugs. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for at least the next few years. The net losses we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year, due to the nature and timing of our research and development activities. We expect that our research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to be significant in connection with our ongoing research and development efforts. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates in the United States or other jurisdictions where we retain commercial rights, and if we choose to retain those rights, we would expect to incur significant sales, marketing,
29




distribution and outsourced manufacturing expenses, as well as ongoing research and development expenses. In addition, our expenses will increase if and as we:

invest in clinical development of ivonescimab in our Licensed Territory;
conduct research and continue development of additional product candidates;
maintain and augment our intellectual property portfolio and opportunistically acquire complimentary intellectual property;
seek further regulatory advancement for ivonescimab;
invest in our manufacturing capabilities for ivonescimab and any other products for which we may obtain regulatory approval;
seek marketing approvals for any product candidates that successfully complete clinical development;
ultimately establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure in jurisdictions where we have retained commercialization rights and scale up external manufacturing capabilities to commercialize any product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;
perform our obligations under our collaboration agreements;
pursue business development opportunities, including investing in other businesses, products and technologies;
experience any delays or encounter any issues with any of the above, including but not limited to failed studies, complex results, safety issues or other regulatory challenges
hire additional clinical, regulatory, scientific and administrative personnel;
expand our physical presence;
add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product development and planned future commercialization efforts; and
borrow capital to fund our resources and have to pay interest expenses on such borrowings.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss of $60.4 million and $103.9 million, respectively, and cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $63.1 million. As of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,097.1 million, cash and cash equivalents of $28.4 million, and short-term investments in U.S. treasury securities of $297.0 million. We expect to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future.

We have evaluated whether our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and U.K. research and development tax credits provide sufficient cash to fund our operating cash needs for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these quarterly financials. We are investing in the clinical development of ivonescimab, including its ongoing clinical trials. In addition, we have a $100.0 million promissory note and interest payable to a related party (refer to Note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for further details) that matures on April 1, 2025. Based upon our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2024, we expect to be able to operate into the fourth quarter of 2025. In order to further fund our operating cash needs and repay this promissory note, we may raise additional equity or debt capital through both registered offerings off of a shelf registration, including “at-the-market” offerings, or ATM, and private offerings of securities. On February 20, 2024, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which the SEC declared effective on February 27, 2024. Through our shelf registration statement we may, from time to time, sell up to an aggregate of $450 million of our common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants, subscription rights, purchase contracts, or units. Of the $450 million of liquidity available to us under this shelf registration statement, on May 13, 2024, we had established an at-the-market offering program with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as sales agent, in the amount of up to $90 million, all of which remains available for sale. If we require or elect to seek additional capital through debt or equity financing in the future, we may not be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us or at all. To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. If we are required and unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected. As of the date of this report, additional capital has not been secured. As a result, these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In addition to the payments already made to Akeso under the License Agreement and Second Amendment, there are additional potential milestone payments of $4.56 billion, as Akeso will be eligible to receive regulatory milestones of up to $1.05 billion and commercial milestones of up to $3.51 billion. In addition, Akeso will be eligible to receive low double-digit royalties on net sales. Until we can generate substantial revenue and achieve profitability, we will need to raise additional capital to fund ongoing operations and capital needs, including the payment of the milestone payments referenced above.

We have based the foregoing estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we currently expect. This estimate assumes, among other things, that we do not obtain any additional funding
30




through grants and clinical trial support or through new collaboration arrangements. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

the costs, timing and outcome of clinical trials required for clinical development of ivonescimab;
the number and development requirements of other future product candidates that we pursue;
the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of ivonescimab and/or our other product candidates we develop;
the costs and timing of commercialization activities, including product sales, marketing, distribution and manufacturing, for any of our product candidates that receive marketing approval;
the extent to which we become liable for milestone payments under the License Agreement and Second Amendment for ivonescimab;
subject to receipt of marketing approval, revenue received from commercial sales of any product candidates;
the costs and timing of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and protecting our intellectual property rights and defending against any intellectual property-related claims;
our ability to establish and maintain collaborations, licensing or other arrangements and the financial terms of such arrangements;
the extent to which we acquire or invest in other businesses, products and technologies;
the rate of the expansion of or the extent to which we change our physical presence.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of some, or all, of the following: equity and debt offerings, collaborations, strategic alliances, grants and clinical trial support from government entities, philanthropic, non-government and not-for-profit organizations, and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements.

We will need to seek additional funding in the future to fund operations. Additional capital, when needed, may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders may be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing stockholders. Additional debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends or other distributions. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves, which could materially adversely affect our business prospects or our ability to continue operations.

Cash Flows
The following table summarizes the results of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Net cash provided by financing activities$200.7 $80.0 
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $63.1 million and was due to a net loss of $103.9 million, which included non-cash charges of $33.5 million and a net change in working capital of $7.2 million.

The net decrease in working capital was primarily due to a decrease of $9.7 million in accrued liabilities and accrued compensation, an increase of $4.6 million in prepaid expenses and an increase of $0.9 million in other current and long-term assets, partially offset by a decrease of $0.9 million in the research and development tax credit receivable.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, research and development costs, intangible assets, stock-based compensation and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 20, 2024 (our "Annual Report"). There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates that were disclosed in our Annual Report.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Lease Commitments

We lease office space in Menlo Park, California, Miami, Florida, United States and in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. In addition to our lease commitments as of December 31, 2023, which were disclosed in our Annual Report, we entered into a new lease agreement for our Miami, Florida headquarters in the first fiscal quarter of 2024. Total future lease payments as of June 30, 2024, which include base rent and sales tax are approximately $4.6 million on an undiscounted basis. This lease commenced on February 1, 2024 and has a term of 64 months. As of June 30, 2024, we have $0.3 million of restricted cash associated with an irrevocable letter of credit required by the landlord to enter into this lease.

Debt Commitments

Refer to Note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a discussion of the promissory note payable to a related party.

Other Commitments

We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with various third parties for clinical trials, preclinical research studies and testing, manufacturing and other services and products for operating purposes. Most contracts provide for termination upon notice, and therefore are cancellable contracts. The majority of these commitments are due within one year. There have been no material changes to the Company's other contractual commitments that were disclosed in our Annual Report other than the agreed upon upfront payment to Akeso in the amount of $15.0 million, as described in Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

We have certain commitments under our agreements with Akeso, Wellcome Trust, the University College London and certain employees, former employees and former directors of Discuva, pursuant to which we will be required to pay royalties or make milestone payments. The License Agreement with Akeso also contains certain manufacturing and purchase commitments. As of June 30, 2024, we are unable to estimate the amount, timing or likelihood of achieving the milestones, making future product sales or assessing estimated forecasts for manufacturing and supplied materials which these contingent payment obligations relate to.

Indemnifications

Our certificate of incorporation provides that it will indemnify the directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with all of the directors and executive officers. These indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify each such director or executive officer for some expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by him or her in any action
33




or proceeding arising out of his or her service as one of our directors or executive officers. We believe the fair value for these indemnification obligations is minimal. Accordingly, we have not recognized any liabilities relating to these obligations as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Legal Proceedings

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than the contractual obligations and commitments described above, we did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off‑balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements, refer to Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

We have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) under the supervision and the participation of the Company’s management, which is responsible for the management of the internal controls, and which includes our Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024, our Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable level of assurance.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

An investment in our common stock or other securities involves a number of risks.

If any of the risks described therein or other uncertainties currently unknown to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, develop into actual events, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be negatively affected, the market price of our common stock or other securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report.

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

There were no unregistered sales of equity securities sold during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that were not previously included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

None.

Item 5. Other Information.

On August 3, 2024, the Company’s board of directors and its compensation committee determined to provide that, with respect to currently outstanding and unvested options held by named executive officers (as identified in the Company’s proxy statement for the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting held on June 14, 2024), and the Company’s current directors, all such options would accelerate and vest upon the occurrence of a Change of Control to the extent such persons were employees of the Company at such time. “Change of Control” for these purposes is determined based on the meaning set forth within Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, with certain modifications. Additionally, the board of directors and compensation committee further provided that all other currently outstanding and unvested options will also be subject to certain acceleration provisions in connection with a Change of Control.

On August 2, 2024, the Company entered into a third amendment to its existing sublease agreement with MZA. The third amendment has an effective date of August 1, 2024, which includes an additional space of 145 square feet of office space at 2882 Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park, California. The Company continues to be obligated to pay its proportionate share of the net payable by MZA to the third-party landlord, which is revised to 93.6% as of the effective date, based on the square footage of office space sublet by the landlord, resulting in total additional payments of $37.

Nature of Business and Operations

Summit Therapeutics Inc. (“we”, “Summit” or the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of patient-, physician-, caregiver- and societal-friendly medicinal therapies intended to improve quality of life, increase potential duration of life, and resolve serious unmet medical needs.

The Company’s current lead development candidate is ivonescimab, a novel, potential first-in-class bispecific antibody intending to combine the effects of immunotherapy via a blockade of PD-1 with the anti-angiogenesis effects of an anti-VEGF compound into a single molecule. On December 5, 2022, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Akeso, Inc. and its affiliates (“Akeso”) pursuant to which the Company has in-licensed ivonescimab as further described in Note 7. Through the License Agreement, the Company obtained the rights to develop and commercialize ivonescimab in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, and through the subsequent amendment with Akeso signed on June 3, 2024, expanded the Company's licensed territories to include the Latin America, Middle East and Africa regions (collectively, and as expanded, the “Licensed Territory”). The License Agreement and transaction closed in January 2023 following customary waiting periods. The Company’s operations are focused on the development of ivonescimab and other future activities, as the Company determines.

The Company has begun its development for ivonescimab in non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”), specifically launching Phase III clinical trials in the following indications:

a) ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (“EGFR”)-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC who have progressed after treatment with a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (“TKI”) (“HARMONi”); and

b) ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy in first-line metastatic squamous NSCLC patients (“HARMONi-3”)

As of the date of these financial statements, both studies are enrolling patients.

The entry into the License Agreement with Akeso represented a significant change in the Company’s strategy and its future operations are focused on the development of ivonescimab and other future activities as the Company determines. The Company’s portfolio also includes ridinilazole, a product candidate for treating patients suffering from Clostridioides difficile infection, also known as C. difficile infection, or CDI, and SMT-738, the first of a novel class of precision antibiotics for combating multidrug resistant infections, specifically carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (“CRE”) infections. All prior development activities related to ridinilazole and SMT-738 have been terminated; the Company will continue to pursue partnerships for both assets.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements are not included herein. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim financial data as of June 30, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the consolidated audited financial statement as of that date. The results of the period are not necessarily indicative of full year results or any other interim period. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of the Company which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 20, 2024. The financial results of the Company's activities are reported in United States Dollars.
Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued research and development expenses, stock-based compensation, goodwill, other long-lived assets and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Summary of Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are consistent with those discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, except as updated below:

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of investments with original maturities greater than ninety days from the date of acquisition. The Company classifies investments with maturities of greater than 90 days as short-term, based on the liquid nature of the securities and because such marketable securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations. The Company considers its investment portfolio of investments as available-for-sale. Accordingly, these investments are recorded at fair value, which is based on quoted market prices or other observable inputs. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis and are included in other (expense) income. Amortization and accretion of discounts and premiums are also recorded in other (expense) income.

When the fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset, an estimate of expected credit losses is made. This estimate is limited to the amount by which fair value is less than amortized cost. The credit-related impairment amount is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and the remaining impairment amount and unrealized gains are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. Credit losses are recognized through the use of an allowance for credit losses account and subsequent improvements in expected credit losses are recognized as a reversal of the allowance account. If the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis the allowance for credit loss is written off and the excess of the amortized cost basis of the asset over its fair value is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU 2023-07"), Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to provide more disaggregated expense information about a public entity’s reportable segments. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and disclosures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $60,385 and $103,858, respectively, and cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $63,136. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,097,116, cash and cash equivalents of $28,434, short-term investments in U.S. treasury securities of $297,035 and current and long-term U.K. research and development tax credits receivable of $1,317. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future.
The Company has evaluated whether its cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and U.K. research and development tax credits provide sufficient cash to fund its operating cash needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is investing in the clinical development of ivonescimab, including its ongoing clinical trials. In addition, the Company has a $100,000 promissory note and interest payable to a related party (refer to Note 14 for further details) that matures on April 1, 2025. Based upon the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short term investments as of June 30, 2024 and after factoring in the repayment of the $100,000 promissory note, the Company has capital resources to fund its operating plan for approximately 12 months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, however, the Company will need to raise additional equity or debt capital to further fund its operating cash needs for the period shortly after approximately 12 months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, additional capital has not yet been secured. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Until the Company can generate substantial revenue and achieve profitability, the Company will need to raise additional capital to fund its ongoing operations and capital needs. The Company continues to evaluate options to further finance its operating cash needs for its product candidates through a combination of some, or all, of the following: equity and debt offerings, collaborations, strategic alliances, grants and clinical trial support from government entities, philanthropic, non-government and not-for-profit organizations, and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. There is no assurance, however, that additional financing will be available when needed or that management of the Company will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain funding when required in the future, the Company could be required to delay, reduce, or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion, or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of the business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting Segment Reporting
The Company's chief operating decision makers (the "CODM function"), which are the Company's CEOs, Mr. Duggan and Dr. Zanganeh, utilize consolidated financial information to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. The CODM function approves of key operating and strategic decisions, including key decisions in clinical development and clinical operating activities, entering into significant contracts, such as revenue contracts and collaboration agreements and approves the Company's consolidated operating budget. The CODM function views the Company's operations and manages its business as a single reportable operating segment. The Company's single operating segment covers the Company’s research and development activities, primarily comprising of oncology product research activities (including ivonescimab). As the Company operates as one operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company operates in two geographic regions: the U.K. and the U.S. The following table summarizes the Company's long-lived assets, which include the Company's property and equipment, net and right-of-use assets by geography:

(1) The increase in long-lived assets as of June 30, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023, is primarily due to $3,937 of net right-of use assets recorded as a result of the Company entering into a new lease agreement for its Miami, FL headquarters, partially offset by $1,234 of amortization expense for right-of-use assets relating to lease agreements for its office space in Menlo Park, CA.

Research and development tax credits

Income from tax credits consist of R&D tax credits received in the U.K. The Company benefits from the Small and Medium Enterprise Program ("SME Program") U.K. research and development tax credit cash rebate regime, and The Research and Development Expenditure Credit ("The RDEC scheme"), a UK government tax incentive that promotes innovation amongst UK's larger businesses. Qualifying expenditures largely comprise of employment costs for research staff, consumables, a proportion of relevant, permitted sub-contract costs and certain internal overhead costs incurred as part of research projects for which the Company does not receive income. Tax credits related to the SME Program and The RDEC scheme are recorded as other operating income in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss. Under these schemes, the Company receives cash payments that are not dependent on the Company’s pre-tax net income levels.

Based on criteria established by His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs ("HMRC"), a portion of expenditures being carried out in relation to the Company's pipeline research and development, clinical trials management and third-party manufacturing development activities are eligible for the SME regime and the Company expects such elements of research and development expenditure incurred in its UK entities will also continue to be eligible for the SME regime for future periods.
As of June 30, 2024, the current and non-current research and development tax credit receivable was $953 and $364, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the current and non-current research and development tax credit receivable was $848 and $959, respectively.

CARB-X (as defined below)
In May 2021, the Company announced the selection of a new preclinical candidate, SMT-738, from the DDS-04 series for development in the fight against multi-drug resistant infections, specifically Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae ("CRE") infections. Simultaneously, the Company announced it had received an award from the Trustees of Boston University under the Combating Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria Biopharmaceutical Accelerator program ("CARB-X") to progress this candidate through preclinical development and Phase Ia clinical trials. The award committed initial funding of up to $4,100, with the possibility of up to another $3,700 based on the achievement of future milestones. As of June 30, 2024, based on translation of historical foreign currency amounts in the period, the Company has recognized $2,920 of cumulative income since contract inception.

Akeso Collaboration and License Agreement Akeso Collaboration and License Agreement
On December 5, 2022, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Akeso, Inc. and its affiliates (“Akeso”) pursuant to which the Company is in-licensing Akeso's breakthrough bispecific antibody, ivonescimab. The License Agreement and transaction closed in January 2023 following customary waiting periods.

Ivonescimab, known as AK112 in China and Australia, and also as SMT112 in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan, is a novel, potential first-in-class bispecific antibody intending to combine the effects of immunotherapy via a blockade of PD-1 with the anti-angiogenesis effects of an anti-VEGF into a single molecule. Ivonescimab was engineered to bring two well established oncology targeted mechanisms together. Ivonescimab is currently in clinical development and, pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Summit will design and conduct the clinical trial activities to support regulatory filings in the Licensed Territory that Summit will submit.
Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Summit will have final decision-making authority with respect to clinical development strategy and execution in the Licensed Territory.

Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Summit will have final decision-making authority with respect to commercial strategy, pricing and reimbursement and other commercialization matters in the Licensed Territory. In connection with the License Agreement, the Company has also entered into a Supply Agreement with Akeso, pursuant to which Summit agrees to purchase a certain portion of drug substance for clinical and commercial supply. Summit is not assuming any liabilities (including contingent liabilities), acquiring any physical assets or trade names, or hiring or acquiring any employees from Akeso in connection with the License Agreement. Through the License Agreement, the Company obtained the rights to develop and commercialize ivonescimab in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan.

In exchange for the rights obtained, an upfront payment of $500,000 was made to Akeso, of which $274,900 was paid in cash and, pursuant to the License Agreement and Issuance Agreement, Akeso elected to receive 10,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock in lieu of $25,100 cash. The remaining $200,000 amount of the upfront payment was paid on March 6, 2023.

Effective June 3, 2024, the Company and Akeso entered into an amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the License Agreement to expand the Company’s territories covered under the License Agreement to include the Latin America, Middle East and Africa regions. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company agreed to make an upfront payment to Akeso in the amount of $15,000 which is expected to be paid out in the third quarter of 2024. Akeso will also be eligible to receive up to an additional $55,000 upon the achievement of certain commercial milestones. Except as specifically modified by the Second Amendment, the terms and conditions of the License Agreement remain in full force and effect.

The Company has accounted for the License Agreement and Second Amendment to acquire the rights to develop and commercialize ivonescimab as the acquisition of an asset. All of the consideration relates to ivonescimab and technological feasibility of the asset has not yet been established since ivonescimab is in clinical development. As such, the Company has expensed the consideration as acquired in-process research and development upon closing of the transaction in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Acquired in-process research and development expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $15,007, which is comprised of the upfront payment of $15,000 and immaterial transaction costs, and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, $520,915, which is comprised of the $474,900 paid in cash, the fair value of the 10,000,000 shares of common stock on the date of closing the transaction of $45,900, and $115 of direct transactions costs incurred.
In addition to the payments already made to Akeso, under the License Agreement and Second Amendment, there are additional potential milestone payments of up to $4,555,000, as Akeso will be eligible to receive regulatory milestones of up to $1,050,000 and commercial milestones of up to $3,505,000. In addition, Akeso will be eligible to receive low double-digit royalties on net sales.

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the diluted net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including potentially dilutive common shares. Since the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share for all periods, as the inclusion of all potential common share equivalents outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.

The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share of common stock for the periods presented because their effect would have been anti-dilutive:

Fair Value Measurements and Short-Term Investments

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements and Short-Term Investments Fair Value Measurements and Short-Term Investments
In accordance with the provisions of fair value accounting, a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability and defines fair value based on the exit price model.

The fair value measurement guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments or securities or derivative contracts that are valued using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the Company categorizes such assets and liabilities based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset.

The following tables sets forth the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Company’s promissory note approximates its fair value and the current interest rate of the note outstanding when compared to market interest rates (which represents a Level 2 measurement). Refer to Note 14 for further details.

Included within prepaid expenses and other current assets at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is $498 and $1,466, respectively, of prepayments relating to research and development expenditures. Included within accrued liabilities at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is $6,279 and $7,289, respectively, relating to research and development expenditures.

These amounts are determined based on the estimated costs to complete each study or activity related to the ongoing clinical trials for ivonescimab, the estimation of the current stage of completion and the invoices received, as well as predetermined milestones which are not reflective of the current stage of development for prepaid expenses. However, prepaid expenses decrease and accrued liabilities increase as the activities progress, and if actual costs incurred exceed the prepaid expenses, an accrual will be recorded for the liability. The key sensitivity is the estimated current stage of completion of each study or activity, which is based on information received from the supplier and the Company’s operational knowledge of the work completed under those contracts.

Current promissory note payable to a related party was $100,000 as of June 30, 2024 and non-current as of December 31, 2023.

December 2022 Promissory Note

On December 6, 2022, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement"), with Mr. Duggan and Dr. Zanganeh, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to each of Mr. Duggan and Dr. Zanganeh unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $520,000. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Mr. Duggan and Dr. Zanganeh unsecured promissory notes in the amount of $400,000 (the "Duggan February Note") and $20,000 (the "Zanganeh Note"), respectively, which would mature and become due on February 15, 2023 and an unsecured promissory note to Mr. Duggan in the amount of $100,000 (the “Duggan September Note” and together with the Duggan February Note and the Zanganeh Note, the “December 2022 Notes”), which was originally due on September 15, 2023. The maturity dates of the December 2022 Notes could be extended one or more times at the Company’s election, but in no event to a date later than September 6, 2024. In addition, if the Company consummates a public offering, then upon the later to occur of (i) five business days after the Company receives the net cash proceeds therefrom or (ii) May 15, 2023, the Duggan February Note and the Zanganeh Note shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the lesser of (a) 100% of the amount of the net proceeds of such offering and (b) the outstanding principal amount on such Notes.

On January 19, 2023, the Company provided notice to extend the term of the Duggan February Note and Duggan September Note to a maturity date of September 6, 2024. Furthermore, on January 19, 2023, the Company and Mr. Duggan rectified the Duggan February Note and Duggan September Note in order to correctly reflect the parties’ intent that the Company may only prepay (i) the Duggan February Note following the completion of a public rights offering to be conducted by Summit in the approximate amount of $500,000, or a similar capital raise, in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the net proceeds of the Rights Offering or such capital raise or (y) the full amount outstanding of the Duggan February Note, and (ii) Duggan September Note following the completion of a capital raising transaction subsequent to the 2023 Rights Offering in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the net proceeds of such capital raise or (B) the full amount outstanding of the Duggan September Note. Following the issuance of the two new Promissory Notes (the “Duggan Promissory Notes”), the Duggan February Note and Duggan September Note were marked as “cancelled” on their face and replaced in their entirety by the Duggan Promissory Notes (together with the Zanganeh Note, the "Notes").

On February 15, 2023, the $20,000 Zanganeh Note matured and the Company repaid the outstanding principal balance. In connection with the closing of the 2023 Rights Offering, the $400,000 Duggan Promissory Note matured and became due, and the Company satisfied all principal and accrued interest thereunder using a combination of a portion of the cash proceeds from the 2023 Rights Offering and the extinguishment of a portion of the amount due equal to the subscription price for shares subscribed by Mr. Duggan in the 2023 Rights Offering.
The Notes accrued interest at an initial rate of 7.5%. All interest on the Notes was paid on the date of signing for the period through February 15, 2023. Such prepaid interest was paid in a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (“Common Stock”) equal to the dollar amount of such prepaid interest, divided by $0.7913 (the consolidated closing bid price immediately preceding the time the Company entered into the Note Purchase Agreement, plus $0.01), which was 9,720,291 shares. For all applicable periods following February 15, 2023, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Notes at the US prime interest rate, as reported in the Wall Street Journal, plus 50 basis points, as adjusted monthly, for three months immediately following February 15, 2023, and thereafter at the US prime rate plus 300 basis points, as adjusted monthly. Such accrued interest shall be paid in cash, quarterly in arrears, on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31.

Debt issuance costs associated with the Notes were $44 and were capitalized as part of the carrying value of the promissory notes payable to related parties.

On February 17, 2024, the Duggan February Note was amended and restated to extend the maturity date from September 6, 2024 to April 1, 2025. For all applicable periods commencing February 17, 2024, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance at the greater of 12% or the US prime interest rate, as reported in the Wall Street Journal plus 350 basis points, as adjusted monthly, compounded quarterly. Interest shall be paid upon maturity of the loan.

The debt discount is amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate of the Duggan February Note and Zanganeh Note was 8.9% and the effective interest rate of the Duggan September Note is 12.4%.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred interest expense of $3,102 and $6,223, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred interest expense of $2,515 and $10,842, respectively. Interest expense incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2023 included amortized imputed interest of $761. As of June 30, 2024, accrued interest was $4,482 and was recorded in accrued liabilities. As of December 31, 2023, accrued interest was $120 and was recorded in accrued liabilities.

The estimated future principal payments are $0 and $100,000 for 2024 and 2025, respectively, as the note matures on April 1, 2025.

The Registration Rights Agreement provides, among other things, that the Company will as soon as reasonably practicable, file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares. The Company agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, and in any event no later than 75 days after the date that such registration statement is initially filed.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Stock-Based Compensation and Warrants Stock-Based Compensation and Warrants
The Company currently grants stock options to employees and directors under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan") and formerly, the Company granted stock options under the 2016 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan"). The 2020 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors ("Board"). The 2020 Plan is intended to attract and retain employees and directors and provide an incentive for these individuals to assist the Company to achieve long-range performance goals and to enable these individuals to participate in the long-term growth of the Company.

On May 3, 2024, the Board adopted the 2024 Inducement Pool (the “Inducement Pool”), which mirrors the terms of the 2020 Plan, with a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Inducement Pool. The Inducement Pool provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options and was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board without stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

The Inducement Pool is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. In accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, non-qualified stock options under the Inducement Pool may only be made to an employee who has not previously been an employee of the Company or member of the Board of Directors of the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company), if he or she is granted such non-qualified stock options in connection with his or her commencement of employment with the Company or a subsidiary and such grant is an inducement material to his or her entering into employment with the Company or such subsidiary. As of June 30, 2024, there were 1,470,000 shares available for grant under the Inducement Pool.

Current promissory note payable to a related party was $100,000 as of June 30, 2024 and non-current as of December 31, 2023.

December 2022 Promissory Note

On December 6, 2022, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement"), with Mr. Duggan and Dr. Zanganeh, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to each of Mr. Duggan and Dr. Zanganeh unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $520,000. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Mr. Duggan and Dr. Zanganeh unsecured promissory notes in the amount of $400,000 (the "Duggan February Note") and $20,000 (the "Zanganeh Note"), respectively, which would mature and become due on February 15, 2023 and an unsecured promissory note to Mr. Duggan in the amount of $100,000 (the “Duggan September Note” and together with the Duggan February Note and the Zanganeh Note, the “December 2022 Notes”), which was originally due on September 15, 2023. The maturity dates of the December 2022 Notes could be extended one or more times at the Company’s election, but in no event to a date later than September 6, 2024. In addition, if the Company consummates a public offering, then upon the later to occur of (i) five business days after the Company receives the net cash proceeds therefrom or (ii) May 15, 2023, the Duggan February Note and the Zanganeh Note shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the lesser of (a) 100% of the amount of the net proceeds of such offering and (b) the outstanding principal amount on such Notes.

On January 19, 2023, the Company provided notice to extend the term of the Duggan February Note and Duggan September Note to a maturity date of September 6, 2024. Furthermore, on January 19, 2023, the Company and Mr. Duggan rectified the Duggan February Note and Duggan September Note in order to correctly reflect the parties’ intent that the Company may only prepay (i) the Duggan February Note following the completion of a public rights offering to be conducted by Summit in the approximate amount of $500,000, or a similar capital raise, in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the net proceeds of the Rights Offering or such capital raise or (y) the full amount outstanding of the Duggan February Note, and (ii) Duggan September Note following the completion of a capital raising transaction subsequent to the 2023 Rights Offering in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the net proceeds of such capital raise or (B) the full amount outstanding of the Duggan September Note. Following the issuance of the two new Promissory Notes (the “Duggan Promissory Notes”), the Duggan February Note and Duggan September Note were marked as “cancelled” on their face and replaced in their entirety by the Duggan Promissory Notes (together with the Zanganeh Note, the "Notes").

On February 15, 2023, the $20,000 Zanganeh Note matured and the Company repaid the outstanding principal balance. In connection with the closing of the 2023 Rights Offering, the $400,000 Duggan Promissory Note matured and became due, and the Company satisfied all principal and accrued interest thereunder using a combination of a portion of the cash proceeds from the 2023 Rights Offering and the extinguishment of a portion of the amount due equal to the subscription price for shares subscribed by Mr. Duggan in the 2023 Rights Offering.
The Notes accrued interest at an initial rate of 7.5%. All interest on the Notes was paid on the date of signing for the period through February 15, 2023. Such prepaid interest was paid in a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (“Common Stock”) equal to the dollar amount of such prepaid interest, divided by $0.7913 (the consolidated closing bid price immediately preceding the time the Company entered into the Note Purchase Agreement, plus $0.01), which was 9,720,291 shares. For all applicable periods following February 15, 2023, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Notes at the US prime interest rate, as reported in the Wall Street Journal, plus 50 basis points, as adjusted monthly, for three months immediately following February 15, 2023, and thereafter at the US prime rate plus 300 basis points, as adjusted monthly. Such accrued interest shall be paid in cash, quarterly in arrears, on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31.

Debt issuance costs associated with the Notes were $44 and were capitalized as part of the carrying value of the promissory notes payable to related parties.

On February 17, 2024, the Duggan February Note was amended and restated to extend the maturity date from September 6, 2024 to April 1, 2025. For all applicable periods commencing February 17, 2024, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance at the greater of 12% or the US prime interest rate, as reported in the Wall Street Journal plus 350 basis points, as adjusted monthly, compounded quarterly. Interest shall be paid upon maturity of the loan.

The debt discount is amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate of the Duggan February Note and Zanganeh Note was 8.9% and the effective interest rate of the Duggan September Note is 12.4%.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred interest expense of $3,102 and $6,223, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred interest expense of $2,515 and $10,842, respectively. Interest expense incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2023 included amortized imputed interest of $761. As of June 30, 2024, accrued interest was $4,482 and was recorded in accrued liabilities. As of December 31, 2023, accrued interest was $120 and was recorded in accrued liabilities.

The estimated future principal payments are $0 and $100,000 for 2024 and 2025, respectively, as the note matures on April 1, 2025.

Refer to Note 14 for discussion on the promissory note payable to a related party.

Other Commitments

The Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business with various third parties for clinical trials, preclinical research studies and testing, manufacturing and other services and products for operating purposes. Most contracts provide for termination upon notice, and therefore are cancellable contracts. The majority of these commitments are due within one year.

The Company believes the fair value for these indemnification obligations is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any liabilities relating to these obligations as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements are not included herein. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim financial data as of June 30, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the consolidated audited financial statement as of that date. The results of the period are not necessarily indicative of full year results or any other interim period. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of the Company which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 20, 2024. The financial results of the Company's activities are reported in United States Dollars.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued research and development expenses, stock-based compensation, goodwill, other long-lived assets and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Marketable Securities
Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of investments with original maturities greater than ninety days from the date of acquisition. The Company classifies investments with maturities of greater than 90 days as short-term, based on the liquid nature of the securities and because such marketable securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations. The Company considers its investment portfolio of investments as available-for-sale. Accordingly, these investments are recorded at fair value, which is based on quoted market prices or other observable inputs. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis and are included in other (expense) income. Amortization and accretion of discounts and premiums are also recorded in other (expense) income.

When the fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset, an estimate of expected credit losses is made. This estimate is limited to the amount by which fair value is less than amortized cost. The credit-related impairment amount is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and the remaining impairment amount and unrealized gains are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. Credit losses are recognized through the use of an allowance for credit losses account and subsequent improvements in expected credit losses are recognized as a reversal of the allowance account. If the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis the allowance for credit loss is written off and the excess of the amortized cost basis of the asset over its fair value is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU 2023-07"), Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to provide more disaggregated expense information about a public entity’s reportable segments. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and disclosures.
