PART I

Item 1. Business.

Rezolute, Inc. (“Rezolute”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is a late-stage rare disease company focused on developing therapies that treat refractory and debilitating hypoglycemia associated with various forms of hyperinsulinism (“HI”).

Summary of Clinical Assets

Ersodetug

Our lead clinical asset, ersodetug, is a potential treatment for refractory hypoglycemia caused by multiple forms of hyperinsulinism.

Ersodetug is an intravenously administered human monoclonal antibody that binds to a unique site (allosteric) on the insulin receptor in insulin target tissues, such as in the liver, fat, and muscle. The antibody down modulates insulin receptor activity, thereby helping to restore glucose to a more normalized range in conditions associated with elevated insulin or insulin-like substances (e.g. IGF-2 variants). Ersodetug shows dose dependent pharmacokinetics with a half-life greater than 2 weeks, which has the potential for monthly dosing. Therefore, we believe that ersodetug is ideally suited as a potential therapy for conditions characterized by HI, and it is being developed to treat any form of HI. As ersodetug acts downstream from the cause of disease and source of HI (insulin or IGF-2 production), it has the potential to be universally effective at treating hypoglycemia related to HI, whether genetic or acquired.

Ersodetug for Congenital HI

sunRIZE Phase 3 Study

On December 11, 2025, we announced that the sunRIZE study did not meet its primary endpoint (hypoglycemia events by finger stick self-monitored blood glucose “SMBG”) or its key secondary endpoint (time in hypoglycemia by continuous glucose monitoring “CGM”) at the defined Week 24 evaluable window. Although statistical significance for the secondary endpoint was not achieved at the Week 24/End of Treatment evaluation window, larger and often nominally statistically significant reductions in hypoglycemia compared to placebo were consistently observed throughout the maintenance dosing phase of the study, across time and numerous pre-specified and post-hoc CGM-based endpoints.

While we believe the pronounced placebo/study effect confounded the results, with a particular impact on the primary endpoint of hypoglycemia events by SMBG due to measurement bias associated with infrequent measurement, the totality of the data further supports previous clinical evidence that ersodetug is active against hypoglycemia in patients. Specifically, there was evidence of pharmacologic activity, as target therapeutic drug concentrations were achieved in both treatment groups (5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) with highly sensitive biomarker responses (increases in circulating insulin) in the active treatment groups that are directly indicative of reduced insulin activity at its receptor, which biologically implies reduced cellular glucose transport and an increase in blood glucose.

sunRIZE topline data as well as pre-specified and post-hoc data updates were shared by oral presentation at the Pediatric Endocrine Society Annual Meeting held on May 1, 2026, including CGM-based outcomes that demonstrated significant and consistent improvements in glycemic control in ersodetug treatment arms compared to placebo across multiple pre-specified and post-hoc endpoints.

Summary of Key Additional Data Presented

Table of Contents

We met with the FDA on March 17, 2026, under our Breakthrough Therapy Designation to discuss next steps for this indication. During the meeting, we presented summary results from sunRIZE including: (i) information to support our belief that the primary endpoint was confounded as a result of behavioral factors; (ii) evidence of pharmacologic activity; (iii) consistent improvements compared to placebo in time in hypoglycemia and a variety of other CGM-based glycemic endpoints, as discussed above; and (iv) preliminary favorable observations from the ongoing open-label extension (“OLE”).

Based on our analyses, observations from sunRIZE inform our belief that the pharmacologic response demonstrates therapeutic activity, which may have been obscured by the unblinded nature of the SMBG endpoint which is necessary for patient standard of care monitoring, along with perceptions of treatment assignment. The magnitude of the placebo response observed for hypoglycemia events by SMBG was unexpected and reveals a significant challenge in studying glucose in an ambulatory setting, where real-time glycemic monitoring and corresponding lifestyle changes can independently influence outcomes, particularly when the patient-monitored glucose is simultaneously the safety lifeline for patient and families.

During the meeting, FDA acknowledged the challenges posed by the potential impact of varied behavioral factors on clinical trials in this heterogeneous patient population, including the associated limitations of SMBG based metrics in measuring hypoglycemia in congenital HI. While acknowledging these challenges, the Agency reiterated the expectation for adequate and well-controlled studies and outcomes as the standard for evaluating substantial evidence of efficacy criteria as the basis for approving new therapies.

As a next step for the program, FDA encouraged us to submit comprehensive analysis datasets and summary outcomes for the Agency’s independent evaluation. Following that review, we believe that a determination may be made whether there is sufficient evidence to support the submission of a marketing application for sunRIZE or if additional information and/or clinical studies are required, which could have an impact on our operating plans and cash resources as described in more detail in Item 1A of this Annual Report. In September 2026, the Agency informed us that it is still reviewing the submission for purposes of evaluating a potential regulatory path forward for ersodetug in congenital HI. Given that FDA’s review is being conducted outside of the customary formal meeting process, there is no specific timeline regarding when feedback will be received or alignment on potential next steps will be reached. We will continue to await feedback and reserve the ability to request a formal meeting under a regulatory timeline, as needed.

All 59 participants who completed the study elected to continue to receive ersodetug in the OLE. To date, 56 participants remain in the OLE, with an exposure duration ranging from ~9 months for the most recently entered patients, to more than 24 months. Preliminary OLE observations demonstrate continued glycemic benefit, including a clinically significant change in glycemic control in the rolled-over placebo participants compared to the controlled period of the study. These glycemic benefits have enabled a concurrent significant overall reduction in background SOC therapies (e.g., diazoxide, somatostatin analogs, and/or regular tube feeds), with a significant number of patients now receiving ersodetug as monotherapy, which we believe is a potential indicator of ersodetug’s underlying efficacy. The OLE phase of sunRIZE remains ongoing at the present time, but we are evaluating the appropriate timing to conclude the sunRIZE study OLE and move patients into its EAP, depending in part on outcomes from pending FDA interactions

Congenital HI is the most common cause of recurrent and persistent hypoglycemia in children. Individuals with congenital HI typically present with signs or symptoms of hypoglycemia shortly after birth. Hypoglycemia can result in significant brain injury and death if not recognized and managed appropriately. Additionally, recurrent, or cumulative, hypoglycemia can lead to progressive and irreversible damage over time, including serious and devastating brain injury,

seizures, neuro-developmental problems, feeding difficulties and significant impact on patient and family quality of life. In cases where individuals have diffuse disease, a near-total pancreatectomy (“NTP”) may be undertaken, although ongoing medical treatment of hypoglycemia is generally required for several years after surgery, before eventual insulin-dependent diabetes ensues. There are no FDA approved therapies for all forms of congenital HI, and the current standard of care treatments are suboptimal. The treatments used by physicians today include glucagon, diazoxide, somatostatin analogues and pancreatectomy. We estimate that in the U.S. alone, the initial addressable pediatric market for congenital HI is more than 1,500 individuals.

Ersodetug has received Orphan Drug Designation in the U.S. and European Union for the treatment of congenital HI, as well as Rare Pediatric Disease Designation in the U.S., a prerequisite for a request for a Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher upon Biologics License Application (BLA) submission. Based on the multinational Phase 2b (RIZE) clinical trial outcomes and the evidence of benefit in this serious condition with substantial unmet medical need, ersodetug was subsequently granted a priority medicines (PRIME) designation by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), an Innovation Passport designation by the UK Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP) Steering Group for the treatment of congenital HI, and Breakthrough Therapy Designation by the FDA in the U.S.

Ersodetug for Tumor HI

upLIFT Phase 3 Study

In mid-2025 we initiated the Phase 3 registrational study (“upLIFT”) of ersodetug for the treatment of hypoglycemia due to tumor HI. We anticipate completing enrollment and announcing topline results from the study before the end of 2026.

At a meeting held with FDA on August 19, 2025, the Agency agreed to modifications to the design of the upLIFT study including removing the need to conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with hypoglycemia events as the endpoint. The streamlined upLIFT study is a Phase 3, registrational, single-arm, open-label, pivotal trial in approximately 16 participants with insulinoma or paraneoplastic non-islet cell tumors, who require continuous parenteral dextrose because of refractory hypoglycemia. Eligible participants requiring continuous parenteral dextrose will receive ersodetug 9 mg/kg per week for 8 weeks, as an add-on to standard of care. Following this 8-week pivotal treatment period, all participants may receive ersodetug in long-term extension, with the discretion to decrease the dosing frequency to every 2 to 4 weeks. The primary endpoint is the proportion of participants able to achieve at least a 50 percent reduction from baseline in the rate of continuous parenteral dextrose (glucose infusion rate; “GIR”), where statistical significance would be achieved if the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval of the point estimate exceeds 30% (equating to a responder rate of ~9 of 16 participants). Additional endpoints include the time to discontinuation of glucose infusion, time to discharge from the hospital, extent of hypoglycemia events and hypoglycemia time in the outpatient setting by SMBG and CGM, respectively, and patient reported quality of life.

On June 2, 2026, we provided an interim update on the program based on the initial 8 participants, comprising both insulinoma and non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia. Of the eight participants enrolled, six had already met the responder criterion for the study’s primary endpoint, which is the number of participants achieving at least a 50 percent reduction from baseline in intravenous glucose requirements (glucose infusion rate; GIR) within the 8-week pivotal treatment phase. Each of these 6 participants also achieved a complete discontinuation of intravenous glucose requirements with the administration of ersodetug. Since the time of this announcement, the seventh participant has also met the responder criterion for the study’s primary endpoint.

The eighth participant withdrew study consent and discontinued ersodetug and all other non-palliative therapies prior to completion of the pivotal treatment phase. This patient had Stage 4 metastatic colon cancer and a poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG 4). The participant elected to be discharged from the hospital to receive hospice care at home, where they died one week later due to cancer progression. The reduction and eventual discontinuation of intravenous glucose were undertaken in the setting of hospice transition, so the participant is being counted as a non-responder for purposes of assessing the primary endpoint.

Based on historical precedent, supportive data from the sunRIZE study (i.e., safety and drug activity), the recent liberalization of the tumor HI study and differentiation between study endpoints, and the experience that we have reported

in the historical Expanded Access Program, we remain cautiously optimistic regarding the probability of success in this indication.

Tumor HI may be caused by two distinct types of solid tumors: neuroendocrine islet cell tumors (“ICTs”) and non-islet cell tumors (“NICTs”), both of which lead to hypoglycemia due to excessive activation of the insulin receptor. Insulinomas are the most common type of functional ICT and mediate hypoglycemia through excessive insulin production. NICTs are generally associated with relatively large, solid tumors such as hepatocellular carcinoma, fibrosarcoma and mesothelioma, and can cause hypoglycemia by producing and secreting insulin-like paraneoplastic substances such as IGF-2 or related variants that bind to and activate the insulin receptor. This form of hypoglycemia can occur in more than 15 different types of tumors.

Current therapies for insulinomas and NICTs can be grouped into two main categories: (a) tumor-directed de-bulking therapies (e.g., surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy), which may indirectly and/or eventually lead to decreased levels of circulating insulin and/or insulin-like substances, and therefore control HI and related hypoglycemia; and/or (b) medical therapies such as diazoxide and glucocorticoids that are used to attempt to treat the hypoglycemia. Tumor-directed therapies do not directly treat hypoglycemia caused by insulinomas or NICTs. In many cases, tumor-directed therapies are administered concurrently with medical therapies for hypoglycemia and in other cases successful treatment of hypoglycemia often enables the initiation and/or continuation of tumor-directed therapies, as indicated. During the period from diagnosis to surgical treatment, or if surgery is contraindicated or refused, medical treatments are often necessary to directly manage the HI and hypoglycemia induced by the tumor. Additionally, chronic medical management of refractory hypoglycemia is often necessary for patients who cannot be cured by surgery, such as those with extensive disease of the pancreas, multi-focal insulinomas, inoperable or unresectable benign or malignant insulinomas, metastatic insulinomas, non-pancreatic insulinomas or NICT hypoglycemia resulting from a variety of other tumors.

A significant unmet need exists for treatment options with improved efficacy and tolerability, as normalization of glucose levels is crucial to prevent serious signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia, improve patient quality of life and overall function, and even to ensure patients are fit to receive cancer treatment and to reduce mortality. Unfortunately, some patients are unresponsive to the current standard of care medical therapies for tumor HI and experience debilitating hypoglycemia that is otherwise untreatable. Currently available medical therapies are directed at reducing or eliminating insulin production and/or secretion from tumors, which may be challenging when the tumor is differentiated or dysregulated, and therefore not responding to usual control mechanisms for suppressing insulin production. In some cases, commonly utilized somatostatin analog therapies may even worsen hypoglycemia due to suppression of glucagon. Therefore, currently available medical therapies directed at suppressing insulin production may have limited effectiveness in tumor HI.

While we believe the total addressable market may be larger, the immediately addressable incidence market for the combined indications causing tumor HI is estimated to be approximately 3,000 patients in the U.S. alone per year. We believe 60% of these patients are managed at the National Cancer Institutes and academic medical centers, which will be our primary focus at launch.  

Expanded Access Program

We maintain an expanded access program (“EAP”) for a variety of HI indications for the purpose of making ersodetug available on a compassionate use basis when patients have refractory hypoglycemia and cannot access a clinical trial. In clinical and real-world experience, ersodetug has been shown to counteract excessive insulin action downstream, at the insulin-receptor on target organs. The unique mechanism of action of ersodetug makes the therapy a potential universal treatment for any form of HI. To date, we have received numerous inbound physician inquiries regarding the use of ersodetug in patients with tumor HI caused by metastatic insulinomas or non-islet cell tumors, which led to compassionate use treatment in an expanded access program in more than a dozen patients. In the U.S., these requests have all been individually approved by the FDA’s Office of Cardiology, Hematology, Endocrinology and Nephrology - Division of Diabetes, Lipid Disorders, and Obesity. The tumor HI patients that have received ersodetug have been refractory to SOC therapies for chronic management of hypoglycemia. These patients have generally required continuous parenteral dextrose in order to prevent severe hypoglycemia and were typically hospitalized and in life-threatening or hospice-bound condition

at the time of request. Further treatment with tumor-directed therapies (e.g., embolization, radiotherapy, chemotherapy) was often deferred as a result of debilitating hypoglycemia.

Generally, dosing for tumor HI patients in the EAP has been either 6 mg/kg or 9 mg/kg every 1-4 weeks. Nearly universally, ersodetug has led to substantial reductions in GIR (equating to an improvement in hypoglycemia) and has been well tolerated. After initiation of ersodetug, GIR was discontinued or substantially reduced, and hospitalized patients were able to be discharged and receive maintenance ersodetug doses on an outpatient basis, with durable benefit. In several cases, other background medical therapies to prevent hypoglycemia were able to be weaned or stopped, and patients were able to resume tumor-directed therapies for treatment of their underlying cancer. No participants have discontinued the therapy due to lack of response or safety, and the duration of treatment has ranged from several months to more than 2 years in some instances, in this subset of tumor HI patients with significantly advanced and metastatic tumor burden.

Presented in a table filed on January 7, 2026, on Form 8-K with the SEC are cumulative data from the initial 9 participants in the EAP, including patient characteristics, ersodetug dosing and observed outcomes. This same data cohort was provided to FDA last year in support of our request for Breakthrough Therapy Designation and subsequently informed the discussion with FDA that led to revision of the upLIFT study in tumor HI to a single arm, open-label study. In summary, 75% of the patients receiving IV dextrose/total parenteral nutrition (“TPN”) in the EAP achieved a complete discontinuation of IV dextrose/TPN. 

We also maintain an EAP for patients with congenital and other forms of hyperinsulinism, which has served to provide access on a compassionate use basis, to patients who do not qualify or otherwise cannot participate in a clinical trial of ersodetug. This includes several congenital HI participants who were refractory to usual therapies and one infant where off-label or surgical (pancreatectomy) intervention was being considered as the only remaining option, but was averted by use of ersodetug in the EAP. The duration of treatment in these participants ranges from more than a year to more than 4 years, with ongoing benefit.

Intellectual Property

Our success depends on an intellectual property portfolio that supports our future revenue streams and also erects barriers to our competitors. We are maintaining and building our patent portfolio through filing new patent applications; prosecuting existing applications; and licensing patents and patent applications. Furthermore, we seek to protect our ownership of know-how, trade secrets and trademarks through an active program of legal mechanisms including registrations, assignments, confidentiality agreements, material transfer agreements, research collaborations and licenses. While we have confidence in our agreements and security measures, either may be compromised, and we may not have adequate remedies. In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or independently discovered by competitors.

​

U.S. patents, as well as most foreign patents, are generally effective for 20 years from the date the earliest application was filed. U.S. patents that were issued on applications filed before June 8, 1995, may be effective until 17 years from the issue date, if that is later than the 20-year date. In some cases, the patent term may be extended to recapture a portion of the term lost during regulatory review of the claimed therapeutic or, in the case of the U.S., because of U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) delays in prosecuting the application. In the U.S., under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (commonly known as the “Hatch-Waxman Act”), a patent that covers a drug approved by the FDA may be eligible for patent term extension (for up to five years, but not beyond a total of 14 years from the date of product approval) as compensation for patent term lost during the FDA regulatory review process. The duration and extension of the term of foreign patents varies in accordance with local law. In the EU, Supplementary Protection Certificates, or SPCs, are available to extend a patent term up to five years to compensate for patent protection lost during regulatory review. Although all EU Member States must provide SPCs, SPCs must be applied for and granted on a country-by-country basis. Limited exceptions apply to the protection conferred by the SPC.

​

As further described in the “Ersodetug License Agreement” section below, we hold a worldwide, exclusive license to patents covering the ersodetug molecule, including 38 issued patents worldwide and in the U.S. (4 U.S.) and pending patent applications with claims directed to compositions of matter and methods of use in therapy. These patents expire between 2030 and 2036. We also are pursuing patent applications relating to formulations of the clinical product candidate.

In addition, for certain of our product candidates we also expect to have further exclusivity in the form of data and marketing exclusivity under pharmaceutical regulatory laws, including for example, potentially up to 12 years of exclusivity from the date of first BLA approval of our product candidates.

​

Competition

We face competition from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic institutions, governmental agencies, and private research organizations in recruiting and retaining highly qualified scientific personnel and consultants and in the development and acquisition of technologies.

There are other companies developing therapies for HI that are potential competitors to ersodetug, including, Amylyx Pharmaceuticals, Hanmi Pharmaceuticals, and Zealand Pharma.

Government Regulation

Regulation by governmental authorities in the U.S. and other countries and potential changes in regulatory philosophy and focus is a significant factor in the development, manufacture and marketing of pharmaceutical products. All of our potential products will require regulatory approval by governmental agencies prior to commercialization. In particular, pharmaceutical therapies are subject to rigorous preclinical testing and clinical trials and other pre-market approval requirements by the FDA and Regulatory Authorities (as defined below) in foreign countries. Various federal, state and foreign statutes and regulations also govern or influence the manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, record keeping and marketing of such products.

In addition, we are subject to various federal, state, and local laws, regulations and recommendations relating to safe working conditions; laboratory and manufacturing practices; the experimental use of animals; and the use and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances, including radioactive compounds and infectious disease agents, used in connection with our research, development and manufacturing.

Research and Development

We incurred approximately $53.8 million and $61.5 million in research and development expenses for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For further discussion of activities related to our clinical programs, please refer to the discussion above. For further discussion of our research and development expenses, please refer to the discussion under the caption Results of Operations under Item 7 of this Annual Report.

Human Capital Management

Employees

As of June 30, 2026, we had 58 full-time employees, of which 40 employees were engaged in research and development and 18 employees were engaged in general and administrative functions. Of the 58 employees, all were located in the United States. We have a number of employees who hold Ph.D. degrees and other advanced degrees. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we have experienced no work stoppages nor are we aware of any employment circumstances that are likely to disrupt work at any of our facilities. As part of our measures to attract and retain personnel, we provide a number of benefits to our full-time employees, including health insurance, life insurance, retirement benefits, paid holiday and vacation time. In addition, we grant stock options, restricted stock units (“RSU”), and other equity compensation to certain key employees as an added incentive to remain in our employment. We believe that we maintain good relations with our employees.

Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are priorities for us. We believe that a rich culture of inclusion and diversity enables us to create, develop and fully leverage the strengths of our workforce. In furtherance of our commitment to inclusion and diversity, on May 30, 2023, we adopted an equity and inclusion policy.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Investors should consider carefully the following risks before deciding to purchase any of our securities. If any of the events or developments described below actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition would likely suffer and investors may lose all or part of their investment. In addition, it is also possible that other risks and uncertainties that affect our business may arise or become material in the future.

Risks Related to Our Product Development and Commercialization

The supplemental information provided to the FDA to support our belief in the effectiveness of ersodetug in the treatment of congenital HI might not result in a viable path forward.

As discussed in this Annual Report, on March 17, 2026, we met with the FDA to discuss the results of the sunRIZE trial and were asked to submit comprehensive analysis datasets and summary outcomes for the Agency’s independent evaluation.  There can be no guarantee that after it analyzes the supplemental information that the FDA will agree to a path forward that is viable, both in terms of required information and cost, or a path that doesn’t require us to conduct a new randomized study.  If we are required to either (i) provide additional information that we are unable to provide or (ii) conduct a new randomized study, our current operational plans may change in scope, timeline and  required resources, which may require us to make significant operational changes.

There is no guarantee that the FDA will not consider the results of the sunRIZE trial when it considers additional regulatory steps related to ersodetug and its treatment of other conditions.

As discussed in this Annual Report, we have previously asked the FDA whether it will consider the results of the sunRIZE trial when considering additional regulatory steps related to ersodetug, including whether the results of the sunRIZE trial will impact the FDA’s assessment of any results that we may receive from the upLIFT trial. Although the FDA has not historically grouped trial results in this way, in the event the FDA takes this approach in connection with ersodetug this could significantly impact our business and future plans. Specifically, if we are required to delay

studying, marketing or monetizing any future potential applications of ersodetug, we may be required to make significant operational changes.

If our clinical trials fail to replicate positive results from earlier preclinical studies or clinical trials conducted by us or third parties, we may be unable to successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize our product candidates.

Our preclinical studies or early clinical trials of our product candidates, whether conducted by us or third parties, may not necessarily be predictive of the results of later clinical trials that we conduct. For example, despite promising results in our early clinical trials of ersodetug, our sunRIZE trial failed to meet its primary endpoint or key secondary endpoint. Similarly, even if we are able to complete our planned upLIFT trial, positive results from earlier clinical trial may not be replicated in our subsequent preclinical studies or clinical trials or in real-world results.

Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in late-stage clinical trials after achieving positive results in early-stage development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face further setbacks for any future product candidates. These setbacks have been caused by, among other things, preclinical findings made while clinical trials were underway or safety or efficacy observations made in preclinical studies and clinical trials, including previously unreported adverse events. Moreover, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses and many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials nonetheless failed to obtain FDA, or comparable non-U.S. regulatory authority approval. Furthermore, the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable non-U.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner that may render our clinical data insufficient for approval, which may lead to the FDA or comparable non-U.S. regulatory authorities delaying, limiting or denying approval of our product candidates.

Interim, “topline” and preliminary data from clinical trials may change as more data become available, are not necessarily predictive of the final results of the completed study or the results of other ongoing or future studies and are subject to audit and verification procedures that could result in material changes.

From time to time, we may announce, publish or report preliminary, topline or interim data from our clinical trials. Such data are subject to the risk that one or more of the clinical outcomes may materially change as patients continue progressing through the study (for example, in oncology studies, a patient may progress from a complete or partial response to progressive disease), as patient enrollment continues and/or as more patient data become available, and such data may not be indicative of final data from such trials, data from future trials or real-world results. In addition, such data may remain subject to audit confirmation and verification procedures that may result in the final data being materially different from the preliminary, topline or interim data disclosed. As a result, all preliminary, topline and interim data should be viewed with caution until the final data are available. Material adverse differences between preliminary, topline or interim data and final data could significantly harm our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Modifications to the upLIFT trial may fail to produce effective results.

In an effort to align with FDA guidance and improve the likelihood of demonstrating efficacy, the FDA allowed us to modify the upLIFT trial design. Such modifications include, without limitation to, removing the need to conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with hypoglycemia events as the endpoint. However, there can be no guarantees that these modifications are better able to demonstrate drug efficacy or that the upLIFT trial will meet its primary or secondary endpoints.

Any delays in the commencement or completion, or termination or suspension, of our future clinical trials, if any, could result in increased costs to us, delay or limit our ability to generate revenue and adversely affect our commercial prospects.

Before obtaining approval from the government authorities or professional bodies with authority to grant regulatory approval for our drug candidates in a particular country, such as the EMA, the FDA and analogous authorities in other

Table of Contents

jurisdictions outside of the United States (“Regulatory Authorities”), we must conduct extensive clinical studies to demonstrate safety and efficacy. Clinical testing is expensive, time consuming and uncertain as to the outcome. Any delays in the commencement or completion of our ongoing, planned or future clinical trials could significantly increase our costs, slow down our development and approval process and jeopardize our ability to commence product sales and generate revenues. We do not know whether our planned trials will begin on time or at all, or be completed on schedule, if at all. The commencement and completion of clinical trials can be delayed for a number of reasons, including delays related to:

​

​

Delays in initiating a new phase of clinical trials resulting from action by FDA or any other Regulatory Authority would delay the approval obtainment and commercialization of our product candidates and our ability to generate revenue, which would have an adverse effect on our business.

Table of Contents

Adverse events in our clinical trials may force us to stop development of our product candidates or prevent regulatory approval of our product candidates.

Our product candidates may produce serious adverse events in patients during clinical trials. These adverse events could interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials of our product candidates and could result in the FDA, or other Regulatory Authorities requesting additional preclinical data or denying approval of our product candidates for any or all targeted indications. An IRB/EC, independent Data Safety Monitoring Board, the FDA, other Regulatory Authorities or the Company itself may suspend or terminate clinical trials at any time. We cannot assure you that any of our product candidates will prove safe for human use.

We are exposed to additional risks associated with regulatory approval.

After the completion of our clinical studies, we cannot predict whether or when we will obtain regulatory approval to commercialize our product candidates and we cannot, therefore, predict the timing of any future revenue from these product candidates.

Even if we achieve positive clinical results and file for regulatory approval, we cannot commercialize any of our product candidates until the appropriate Regulatory Authorities have reviewed and approved the applications for such product candidates. We cannot provide assurance that the Regulatory Authorities will complete their review processes in a timely manner or that we will obtain regulatory approval for any product candidate we develop. Satisfaction of regulatory requirements typically takes many years, is dependent upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product and requires the expenditure of substantial resources. In addition, we may experience delays or rejections based upon additional government regulation from future legislation or administrative action or changes in Regulatory Authority policy during the period of product development, clinical studies and regulatory review.

If we or a Regulatory Authority discovers previously unknown problems with a product, such as adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or problems with the facility where the product is manufactured, a Regulatory Authority may impose restrictions on that product, the manufacturing facility or us, including requiring recall or withdrawal of the product from the market or suspension of manufacturing. If we, our product candidates or the manufacturing facilities for our product candidates fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, a Regulatory Authority may: issue warning letters or untitled letters; seek an injunction or impose civil or criminal penalties or monetary fines; suspend or withdraw regulatory approval; suspend any ongoing clinical studies; refuse to approve pending applications or supplements to applications filed by us; suspend or impose restrictions on operations, including costly new manufacturing requirements; or seize or detain products, refuse to permit the import or export of products, or require us to initiate a product recall.

The occurrence of any event or penalty described above may inhibit our ability to commercialize our products and generate revenue.

If our product candidates do not meet safety or efficacy requirements, they will not receive regulatory approval and we will be unable to market them.

The process of drug development, regulatory review and approval typically is expensive, takes many years and the timing of any approval cannot be accurately predicted. If we fail to obtain regulatory approval for our current or future product candidates, we will be unable to market and sell such products and therefore may never be profitable.

As part of the regulatory approval process, we must conduct preclinical studies and clinical trials for each product candidate to demonstrate safety and efficacy. The number of preclinical studies and clinical trials that will be required varies depending on the product candidate, the indication being evaluated, the trial results and regulations applicable to any particular product candidate.

The results of preclinical studies and initial clinical trials of our product candidates do not necessarily predict the results of later-stage clinical trials. Product candidates in later stages of clinical trials may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy despite having progressed through initial clinical trials. We cannot assure you that the data collected from the

Table of Contents

preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates will be sufficient to support approval by the FDA or a foreign Regulatory Authority. In addition, the continuation of a particular study after review by an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board does not necessarily indicate that our product candidate will achieve the clinical endpoint.

The FDA and other Regulatory Authorities can delay, limit or deny approval for many reasons, including: a product candidate may not be safe or effective; our manufacturing processes or facility may not meet the applicable requirements; and changes in Regulatory Authority approval policies or adoption of new regulations may require additional clinical trials or work on our end.

Any delay in, or failure to receive or maintain, approval for any of our product candidates could prevent us from ever generating meaningful revenues or achieving profitability.

Our product candidates are prone to the risks of failure inherent in drug development. Before obtaining regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of any product candidate for a target indication, we must demonstrate safety in preclinical studies and effectiveness with substantial evidence gathered in well-controlled clinical studies. With respect to approval in the U.S., to the satisfaction of the FDA and, with respect to approval in other countries, to the satisfaction of Regulatory Authorities in those countries, we must demonstrate that the product candidate is safe and effective for use for that target indication and that the manufacturing facilities, processes and controls are adequate.

Despite our efforts, our product candidates may not: offer therapeutic benefit or other improvements over existing, comparable therapeutics; be proven safe and effective in clinical studies; meet applicable regulatory standards; be capable of being produced in sufficient quantities at acceptable costs; be successfully commercialized; or obtain favorable reimbursement.

We are not permitted to market any of our other product candidates in the U.S. until we receive approval of a new drug application, or approval of a biologics license application, from the FDA, or in any foreign countries until we receive the requisite approval from such countries. We have not submitted a new drug application or biologics license application or received marketing approval for any of our product candidates.

Preclinical testing and clinical studies are long, expensive and uncertain processes. We may spend several years completing our testing for any particular product candidate, and failure can occur at any stage. Negative or inconclusive results or adverse medical events during a clinical study could also cause us, one or more IRBs/ECs at clinical trial sites, a Data Safety Monitoring Board or the FDA or other Regulatory Authority to terminate a clinical study or require that we repeat it or conduct additional studies. Additionally, data obtained from a clinical study is susceptible to varying interpretations and the FDA or other Regulatory Authorities may interpret the results of our clinical studies less favorably than we do. The FDA and equivalent foreign Regulatory Authorities have substantial discretion in the approval process and may decide that our data is insufficient to support a marketing application and require additional preclinical, clinical or other studies.

Due to our reliance on contract research organizations or other third parties to conduct clinical trials, we may not have complete control over the timing, conduct and expense of our clinical trials.

We rely primarily on third parties to conduct our clinical trials. As a result, we will have less control over the conduct of the clinical trials, the timing and completion of the trials, the required reporting of adverse events and the management of data developed through the trial than would be the case if our own staff conducted all aspects of our clinical trials. Communicating with outside parties can also be challenging, potentially leading to mistakes and difficulties in coordinating activities. Outside parties may have staffing difficulties, may undergo changes in priorities or may become financially distressed, adversely affecting their willingness or ability to conduct our trials. We may experience unexpected increased costs that are beyond our control. Problems with the timeliness or quality of the work of a contract research organization may lead us to seek to terminate the relationship and use an alternative service provider. However, making this change may be costly and may delay our trials, and contractual restrictions may make such a change difficult or impossible. Additionally, it may be impossible to find a replacement organization that can conduct our trials in an acceptable manner and at an acceptable cost.

Any failure or delay by our third-party suppliers on which we rely or intend to rely to provide materials necessary to develop and manufacture our drug products may delay or impair our ability to commercialize our product candidates.

We rely upon a small number of third-party suppliers for the manufacture of certain raw materials that are necessary to formulate our drug products for preclinical and clinical testing purposes. We intend to continue to rely on them in the future. We also expect to rely upon third parties to produce materials required for the commercial production of our product candidates if we succeed in obtaining necessary regulatory approvals. If we are unable to arrange for third-party sources, or do so on commercially unreasonable terms, we may not be able to complete development of or market our product candidates.

It is possible that our raw material suppliers may not be able to sell these raw materials at the times we need them or on commercially reasonable terms due to forces outside of our control including, but not limited to, inflation, tariffs, and global conflicts. We do not have any control over the process or timing of the acquisition of these raw materials by our manufacturers. Our third-party manufacturers and suppliers may encounter delays in providing their services as a result of supply chain constraints. Moreover, we currently do not have any agreements for the commercial production of these raw materials. Although we generally do not begin a clinical study unless we believe we have a sufficient supply of a product candidate to complete the clinical study, any significant delay in the supply of raw material components needed to produce a product candidate for a clinical study due to the need to replace a third-party manufacturer could considerably delay completion of our clinical studies, product testing and potential regulatory approval of our product candidates. If we or our manufacturers are unable to purchase these raw materials after regulatory approval has been obtained for our product candidates, the commercial launch of our product candidates would be delayed or there would be a shortage in supply of such product candidates, which would impair our ability to generate revenues from the sale of our product candidates.

If we successfully commercialize any of our product candidates, we may be required to establish commercial manufacturing capabilities of larger scale. In addition, as our drug development pipeline increases and matures, we will have a greater need for clinical study and commercial manufacturing capacity. We have no experience manufacturing pharmaceutical products on a commercial scale and we may need to rely on third-party manufacturers with capacity for increased production scale to meet our projected needs for commercial manufacturing, the satisfaction of which on a timely basis may not be met.

We may be unable to manage our anticipated growth effectively.

If any of our product candidates move from clinical development into commercialization, this anticipated growth will place significant strains on our management, operational systems and processes, financial systems and internal controls and other aspects of our business. We must upgrade our internal business processes and capabilities to create the scalability that a growing business demands. As of September 21, 2026, we had 63 full-time employees. To execute our anticipated growth successfully, we must continue to attract and retain qualified personnel and manage and train them effectively. Commercializing any of our product candidates will require us to hire and retain scientific, sales and marketing, software, manufacturing, customer service, distribution and quality assurance personnel. In addition, we expect that we will need to hire additional accounting, finance and other personnel.

Further, our anticipated growth will place additional strain on our suppliers, resulting in an increased need for us to carefully monitor quality assurance. Any failure by us to manage our growth effectively could have an adverse effect on our ability to achieve our development and commercialization goals.

Our ability to successfully transition from a largely development stage company to a full scale commercial operation is uncertain given the fact that we have been in operation for numerous years. As we continue to grow, we will be required to implement more complex organizational management structures and may find it increasingly difficult to maintain the benefits of our corporate culture. If we do not successfully manage our anticipated growth, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be harmed.

If we use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable for damages.

Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including toxic chemical and biological materials. We could be held liable for any contamination, injury or other damages resulting from these hazardous substances. In addition, our operations produce hazardous waste products. While third parties are responsible for disposal of our hazardous waste, we could be liable under environmental laws for any required cleanup of sites at which our waste is disposed. Federal, state, foreign and local laws and regulations govern the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of these hazardous materials. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations at any time, or if they change, we may be subject to criminal sanctions and substantial civil liabilities, which may harm our business. Even if we continue to comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding hazardous materials, we cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or discharge and our resultant liability for any injuries or other damages caused by these accidents.

Risks Related to Our Business

Failure of our clinical trials could expose us to litigation and other legal claims, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The failure, delay or unfavorable results of any of our clinical trials could give rise to claims or litigation by investors, clinical trial participants, business partners, employees or other parties. Such claims could allege, among other things, that we failed to adequately design, conduct, oversee or disclose the results of our clinical trials, or that our public statements regarding our clinical development programs were inaccurate or misleading. Regardless of the merits or ultimate outcome of any such claims, defending litigation could require significant financial and management resources and could result in substantial costs, damages, settlements or other liabilities. In addition, adverse publicity associated with litigation could harm our reputation and relationships with investors, collaborators, regulators and other stakeholders. Any such litigation or related proceedings could therefore materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.  For example, following the release of the results of our sunRIZE trial our stock price suffered a decline. As a result, plaintiffs law firms have announced investigations into potential securities laws violations based on allegations related to the results of the sunRIZE trial. While we believe these allegations are without merit, and no litigation has been commenced to date regarding such allegations, we still face the potential for litigation to be initiated against us.

We have a long history of losses and may not achieve profitability in the future. We will need substantial additional capital to fund our operations. If we fail to obtain additional capital, we will be unable to sustain operations.

We incurred net losses of $77.6 million and $74.4 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $481.4 million. Cash used in our operating activities amounted to $64.6 million and $69.1 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $10.6 million and investments in marketable debt securities of $97.2 million that is expected to provide us with adequate capital resources to fund planned activities for at least 12 months from the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2026.

​

Since our inception, we have not generated meaningful revenue. We expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future as we develop and commercialize our product candidate pipeline, and we expect to need additional capital from external sources before we will be able to begin generating revenue, if ever. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue one or more of our research and development programs. We may be required to cease operations or seek partners for our product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable and on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available. In the absence of additional capital we may also be required to relinquish, license or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve our cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet our obligations. These measures could cause significant delays in the development of our product candidates.

We face potential product liability exposure, and, if successful claims are brought against us, we may incur substantial liability.

The use of our product candidates in clinical studies and the sale of any products for which we obtain marketing approval expose us to the risk of product liability claims. Product liability claims might be brought against us by consumers, health care providers, pharmaceutical companies or others selling or otherwise coming into contact with our products. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liability claims, we could incur substantial liabilities. In addition, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, product liability claims may result in: impairment of our business reputation; withdrawal of clinical study participants; costs of related litigation; distraction of management’s attention from our primary business; substantial monetary awards to patients or other claimants; the inability to commercialize our product candidates; and decreased demand for our product candidates, if approved for commercial sale.

We currently have clinical trial insurance for our active clinical programs. This product liability insurance coverage for our clinical studies may not be sufficient to reimburse us for all expenses or losses we may suffer. Moreover, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive, and, in the future, we may not be able to maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or in sufficient amounts to protect us against losses due to liability. If and when we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we intend to expand our insurance coverage to include the sale of commercial products; however, we may be unable to obtain this product liability insurance on commercially reasonable terms. On occasion, large judgments have been awarded in class action lawsuits based on drugs that had unanticipated adverse effects. A successful product liability claim, or series of claims, brought against us could cause our stock price to decline and, if judgments exceed our insurance coverage, could decrease our cash and adversely affect our business.

We may not be able to use a significant portion of our net operating loss carryforwards, which could adversely affect our profitability.

Federal and state laws impose substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards in the event that certain ownership changes occur as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Due to our financing activities, we experienced ownership changes that have resulted in significant limitations on the future use of our NOL carryforwards. As of June 30, 2026, we have U.S. federal NOL carryforwards of approximately $248.9 million, of which $33.4 million will expire without any opportunity for utilization due to the limitations set forth in IRC Section 382. Our ability to use the remaining $215.5 million of U.S. federal NOL carryforwards is subject to strict limitations as a result of prior ownership changes. It is possible that future ownership changes could result in further limitations on the use of our NOL carryforwards or other tax attributes, which could adversely affect our future financial position, profitability and cash flows.

If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and the trading price of our common stock may decline.

We are subject to Section 404 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”), and the related rules of the SEC which generally require our management and independent registered public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Section 404 requires an annual management assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Effective April 27, 2020, the SEC adopted amendments to the “accelerated filer” and “large accelerated filer” definitions in Rule 12b-2 under The Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The amendments exclude from the “accelerated filer” and “large accelerated filer” definitions an issuer that is eligible to be a smaller reporting company (“SRC”). We currently meet the definition of an SRC. We determined that our Company does not meet the accelerated or large accelerated filer definitions as of June 30, 2026. For so long as we remain a smaller reporting company and a non-accelerated filer, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to public companies, including, but not limited to, not being required as a non-accelerated filer to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b). An independent assessment by our independent registered public accounting firm of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting could detect problems that our management’s assessment might not. Undetected material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting could lead to financial statement restatements and require us to incur the expense of remediation.

Table of Contents

Although we have determined that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2026, we cannot assure you that there will not be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. Any failure to maintain internal control over financial reporting could severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common stock could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Failure to remediate any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

In the future, we may no longer qualify as a smaller reporting company or non-accelerated filer, which could increase our compliance costs and reporting obligations.

We currently qualify as an SRC and a non-accelerated filer under applicable SEC rules. As a result, we are eligible to take advantage of certain reduced disclosure requirements and exemptions from requirements applicable to other public companies, including the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Our status as an SRC and non-accelerated filer is determined annually based on, among other factors, our public float and, where applicable, our annual revenues. If our public float increases above applicable thresholds, or if we otherwise cease to qualify as an SRC or non-accelerated filer, we could become subject to additional disclosure, compliance and governance requirements. These additional requirements could include expanded executive compensation disclosures, accelerated filing deadlines and, if applicable, auditor attestation requirements regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Compliance with these additional requirements would increase our legal, accounting and administrative costs and require greater management attention and internal resources. If we are unable to comply with any such requirements in a timely manner, investors may lose confidence in our reported information, the market price of our common stock could decline and we could become subject to regulatory scrutiny or enforcement actions.

Our collection, use, processing, and cross-border transfer of personal information, including individually identifiable health information, is governed by restrictive regulations.

Our business is broadly regulated by U.S. and foreign regulatory authorities, and we must comply with all applicable rules and regulations concerning our use, processing, handling, maintenance, and protection of personal information. In the U.S., the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) imposes requirements at the federal level relating to the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information, while individual states, such as California, have adopted privacy regulations restricting the use of personal information and providing individuals certain rights with respect to the collection and use of their data. Further, the collection and use of personal information in Europe is governed by the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation and the United Kingdom’s implementation of the same, or the GDPR. Failure to comply with the requirements of the GDPR and other applicable data protection laws of the EU member states and the United Kingdom, or other applicable privacy rules and regulations in other countries, may result in significant fines and other administrative penalties. We may be required to put in place additional mechanisms to comply with current and future privacy and data protection regulations applicable to our business. This may interrupt or delay our development activities and/or require us to change our business practices, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We could recognize losses on securities held in our marketable debt securities portfolio, particularly if interest rates increase or economic and market conditions deteriorate.

​

As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the investments in our marketable debt securities portfolio was approximately $97.2 million. Factors beyond our control can significantly influence the fair value of securities in our portfolio and can cause potential adverse changes to the fair value of these securities. For example, fixed-rate securities acquired by us are generally subject to decreases in market value when interest rates rise. Additional factors include, but are not limited to,

-15-

-

Table of Contents

rating agency downgrades of the securities or our own analysis of the value of the security, defaults by the issuer with respect to the underlying securities, and continued instability in the credit markets. Any of the foregoing factors could result in credit-related loss and result in realized losses. The process for determining whether allowances are needed for credit-related losses usually requires difficult, subjective judgments about the future financial performance of the issuer and any collateral underlying the security in order to assess the probability of receiving all contractual principal and interest payments on the security.

​

As of June 30, 2026, we had $0.1 million in net unrealized losses in our marketable debt securities. Unrealized losses in our marketable debt securities portfolio may increase in the future due to the aforementioned economic factors. While our goal is to hold each security until maturity, that may not be possible in light of our policy to preserve capital and liquidity and because investment in securities with unrealized losses have a diminished utility as a source of liquidity prior to maturity. Selling securities with an unrealized loss would result in the realization of such losses, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

​

Unfavorable global and regional economic and political conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

​

Our business could be adversely affected by global or regional economic, political and health conditions. Various macroeconomic factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, including changes in inflation, tariffs, interest rates and overall economic conditions and uncertainties, including those resulting from political instability, trade disputes between nations and the current and future conditions in the global financial markets. For example, the current U.S. trade policy is focused on tariffs and retaliatory tariffs which has had a significant impact on the global economy which could potentially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Certain Provisions of Nevada law may have anti-takeover effects.

Certain provisions of Nevada law applicable to us could also delay or make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving us, including Sections 78.411 through 78.444 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, which prohibit a Nevada corporation from engaging in any business combination with any "interested shareholder" (as defined in the statute) for a period of two years unless certain conditions are met. In addition, our senior management is entitled to certain payments upon a change in control.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

Our current patent positions and license portfolio may not include all patent rights needed for the full development and commercialization of our product candidates. We cannot be sure that patent rights we may need in the future will be available to license on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

We typically develop our product candidates using compounds that we have acquired or in-licensed, including the original composition of matter patents and patents that claim the activities and methods for such compounds’ production and use. For example, in 2017 we in-licensed (i) a fully human monoclonal antibody from XOMA Corporation (“XOMA”), who was acquired by Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated on July 14, 2026, as well as (ii) a plasma kallikrein inhibitor portfolio from ActiveSite Pharmaceuticals (“ActiveSite”) and in consideration for such licenses, we will continue to incur milestone payments and royalties as we progress product candidates through development.

As we learn more about the mechanisms of action and new methods of manufacture and use of these product candidates, we may file additional patent applications for these new inventions, or we may need to ask our licensors to file them. We may also need to license additional patent rights or other rights on compounds, treatment methods or manufacturing processes because we learn that we need such rights during the continuing development of our product candidates.

Although our patents may prevent others from making, using or selling similar products, they do not ensure that we will not infringe the patent rights of third parties. We may not be aware of all patents or patent applications that may impact our ability to make, use or sell any of our product candidates or proposed product candidates. For example, because we sometimes identify the mechanism of action or molecular target of a given product candidate after identifying its

-16-

-

Table of Contents

composition of matter and therapeutic use, we may not be aware until the mechanism or target is further elucidated that a third-party has an issued or pending patent claiming biological activities or targets that may cover our product candidate. U.S. patent applications filed after November 29, 2000 are confidential in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the first 18 months after such applications’ earliest priority date, and patent offices in other countries often publish patent applications for the first time six months or more after filing. Furthermore, we may not be aware of published or granted conflicting patent rights. Any conflicts resulting from patent applications and patents of others could significantly reduce the coverage of our patents and limit our ability to obtain meaningful patent protection. If others obtain patents with conflicting claims, we may need to obtain licenses to these patents or to develop or obtain alternative technology.

We may not be able to obtain any licenses or other rights to patents, technology or know-how from third parties necessary to conduct our business as described in this Annual Report and such licenses, if available at all, may not be available on commercially reasonable terms. Any failure to obtain such licenses could delay or prevent us from developing or commercializing our drug candidates or proposed product candidates, which would harm our business. Litigation, patent office administrative proceedings or patent interference proceedings may be necessarily brought against us or third parties, as discussed below, to enforce any of our patents or other proprietary rights or to determine the scope and validity or enforceability of the proprietary rights of such third parties.

In addition, we may face claims by third parties that our agreements with employees, contractors, or consultants obligating them to assign intellectual property to us are ineffective, or in conflict with prior or competing contractual obligations of assignment, which could result in ownership disputes. In some instances, there may not be adequate written provisions to address clearly the resolution of intellectual property rights that may arise under our agreements, and we may be limited in our ability to use, make or sell these inventions. Litigation may be necessary to resolve these disputes, and if we are not successful, we may be precluded from using certain intellectual property, or may lose our exclusive rights in that intellectual property. Either outcome could have an adverse impact on our business.

If our or our licensors’ patent positions do not adequately protect our product candidates or any future products, others could compete with us more directly, which would harm our business.

Our commercial success will depend in part on our and our licensors’ ability to obtain additional patents and protect our existing patent positions, particularly those patents for which we have secured exclusive rights, as well as our ability to maintain adequate protection of other intellectual property for our technologies, product candidates and any future products in the U.S. and other countries. If we or our licensors do not adequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies and erode or negate any competitive advantage we may have, which could materially harm our business, negatively affect our position in the marketplace, limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates and delay or render impossible our achievement of profitability. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S., and we may encounter significant problems in protecting our proprietary rights in these countries.

The patent positions of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, including our own patent position, involve complex legal and factual questions, and, therefore, validity and enforceability cannot be predicted with certainty. Patents may be challenged, deemed unenforceable, invalidated or circumvented. In addition, the coverage claimed in a patent application can be significantly reduced before the patent is issued, and patent scope can be reinterpreted by the courts after issuance. Moreover, many jurisdictions permit third parties to challenge issued patents in administrative proceedings, which may result in further narrowing or even cancellation of patent claims. We cannot predict whether the patent applications we are currently pursuing will be issued as patents in any particular jurisdiction or whether the claims of any patents, if issued, will provide sufficient protection from competitors. We and our licensors will be able to protect our proprietary rights from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that our proprietary technologies, product candidates and any future products are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are effectively maintained as trade secrets.

The degree of future protection for our proprietary rights is uncertain, and we cannot ensure that:

-17-

-

Table of Contents

​

We may be unable to adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information.

We rely on trade secrets to protect our proprietary know-how and technological advances, especially where we do not believe patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. We rely in part on confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators, sponsored researchers and other advisors to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. In addition, others may independently discover our trade secrets and proprietary information. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights. Failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could enable competitors to use our proprietary information to develop products that compete with our products or cause additional, material adverse effects upon our competitive business position.

Litigation regarding patents, patent applications and other proprietary rights may be expensive and time consuming. If we are involved in such litigation, it could cause delays in bringing product candidates to market and harm our ability to operate.

Our commercial success will depend in part on our ability to manufacture, use, sell and offer to sell our product candidates and proposed product candidates without infringing patents or other proprietary rights of third parties. Although we are not currently aware of any litigation or other proceedings or third-party claims of intellectual property infringement related to our product candidates, the pharmaceutical industry is characterized by extensive litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. Other parties may obtain patents in the future and allege that the use of our technologies infringes these patent claims or that we are employing their proprietary technology without authorization. Likewise, third parties may challenge or infringe upon our or our licensors’ existing or future patents. Proceedings involving our patents or patent applications or those of others could result in adverse decisions regarding the patentability of our inventions relating to our product candidates or the enforceability, validity or scope of protection offered by our patents relating to our product candidates.

Even if we are successful in these proceedings, we may incur substantial costs and divert management’s time and attention in pursuing these proceedings. If we are unable to avoid infringing the patent rights of others, we may be required to seek a license, defend an infringement action or challenge the validity of the patents in court. Patent litigation is costly and time-consuming. We may not have sufficient resources to bring these actions to a successful conclusion. In addition, if we do not obtain a license, develop or obtain non-infringing technology, fail to defend an infringement action successfully or have our patents declared invalid, we may incur substantial monetary damages; encounter significant delays in bringing our product candidates to market; or be precluded from participating in the manufacture, use or sale of our product candidates or methods of treatment requiring licenses.

If our patent and other intellectual property protection is inadequate, future sales and profits may never materialize or competitors could force our products completely out of the market.

Patents which prevent the manufacture or sale of our products may be issued to others. We may have to license those patents and pay significant fees or royalties to the owners of the patents in order to keep marketing our products. This would cause profits from any sales to suffer.

We have been granted patents or licensed patents in the United States, but patent applications that have been, or may in the future be, filed by us may not result in the issuance of additional patents. The scope of any patent issued may not be

-18-

-

Table of Contents

sufficient to protect our technology. The laws of foreign jurisdictions in which we intend to sell our products may not protect our rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.

In addition to patent protection, we also rely on trade secrets, proprietary know-how and technological advances. We enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and others, but these agreements may not be effective in protecting our proprietary information. Others may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or obtain access to our know-how. Litigation, which is expensive, may be necessary to enforce or defend our patents or proprietary rights and may not end favorably for us. We may also choose to initiate litigation against other parties who we come to believe are infringing these patents. If such litigation is unsuccessful or if the patents are invalidated or canceled, we may have to write off the related intangible assets and such an event could significantly reduce our earnings. Any of our licenses, patents or other intellectual property may be challenged, invalidated, canceled, infringed or circumvented and may not provide any competitive advantage to us.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

If our shareholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market upon the expiration of any statutory holding period or lockup agreements, under Rule 144, or issued upon the exercise of outstanding PFWs, stock options, RSUs, warrants or other convertible securities, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. The shares of our restricted common stock will be freely tradable upon the earlier of: (i) effectiveness of a registration statement covering such shares and (ii) the date on which such shares may be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 (or other applicable exemption) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”).

Investor relations activities and supply and demand factors may affect the price of our common stock.

We expect to utilize various techniques such as non-deal road shows and investor relations campaigns in order to generate investor awareness. These campaigns may include personal, video and telephone conferences with investors and prospective investors in which our business practices are described. We may provide compensation to investor relations firms and pay for newsletters, websites, mailings and email campaigns that are produced by third parties based upon publicly-available information concerning us. We do not intend to review or approve the content of such analysts’ reports or other materials based upon analysts’ own research or methods. Investor relations firms should generally disclose when they are compensated for their efforts, but whether such disclosure is made or complete is not under our control. In addition, investors may, from time to time, also take steps to encourage investor awareness through similar activities that may be undertaken at the expense of the investors. Investor awareness activities may also be suspended or discontinued, which may impact the trading market of our common stock.

Our management periodically evaluates information provided by its consultants on evolving cybersecurity risks and, based on its assessment of the processes the Company has put in place, does not believe there are currently any known risks from cybersecurity threats that are reasonably likely to materially affect us or our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Further, we did not have any cybersecurity incidents in fiscal year 2026.

Item 2. Properties.

In April 2022, we entered into a lease for a corporate headquarters facility at 275 Shoreline Drive, Suite 500, Redwood City California 94065. The leased space contains approximately 9,300 square feet of office space. The lease commenced in October 2022 and provides for average remaining monthly rent payments of approximately $53,000 through October 2027.

In November 2020, we entered into a lease in Bend, Oregon where the leased space consists of approximately 5,000 square feet of office space. In October 2023, we entered into a lease extension for this space, which provides for monthly rent payments of approximately $9,000 through February 2027.

We believe our current physical properties are sufficient and adequate to meet our current and projected requirements.

Holders

As of September 21, 2026, there were 231 holders of record of our common stock. We believe the number of beneficial owners of our common stock is substantially greater than the number of record holders because a large portion of our outstanding common stock is held of record in broker “street names” for the benefit of individual investors.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under the Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements on page ii, the “Risk Factors” set forth in Item 1A, and elsewhere in this Annual Report. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements or the risk factors. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 8 of this Annual Report.

Certain figures, such as interest rates and other percentages included in this section have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this section have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentage amounts in this section may vary slightly from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in our consolidated financial statements or in the associated text. Certain other amounts that appear in this section may similarly not sum due to rounding.

Executive Summary

Our priorities going into the second half of 2026 and first half of 2027 are to: (i) achieve alignment with the FDA on the path forward in congenital HI following the completion of the sunRIZE study, (ii) complete enrollment and announce topline data for the registrational Phase 3 upLIFT study in tumor HI, and (iii) assuming supportive data, submit a Biologics License Application to the FDA for ersodetug in mid-2027.

Clinical Development

Our focus as a Company is advancing ersodetug as a potential treatment for refractory hypoglycemia caused by all forms of HI, specifically in two Phase 3 clinical studies for congenital HI and tumor HI. In December 2025, we announced topline results from the Phase 3 sunRIZE study of ersodetug in patients with congenital HI, in which the study did not meet its primary endpoint or key secondary endpoint, despite a favorable safety profile and substantial evidence of clinical activity from the broader clinical development program. Following the topline results, we engaged with the FDA to review the totality of available data from sunRIZE, including continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and longer-term treatment data. In subsequent interactions, the FDA has continued to acknowledge the challenges associated with conducting randomized, placebo-controlled studies in this rare pediatric patient population, including the potential impact of intensive monitoring and caregiver intervention on measures of hypoglycemia. As of September 2026, the FDA continues to review the substantial body of data generated from the sunRIZE program to determine whether there is a potential regulatory path

forward for ersodetug in congenital HI, and no specific timeline has been established for completion of this review. See Item 1A of this Annual Report for the related risks.

​

The upLIFT study in tumor HI is currently enrolling in the U.S. and Europe. At a meeting held with FDA on August 19, 2025, the Agency agreed to modifications to the design of the study including removing the need to conduct a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial. The truncated study will include as few as 16 participants and will be limited to the single-arm open-label portion of the upLIFT study. On June 2, 2026, we provided an interim update on the program. Of the initial eight participants enrolled six had already met the responder criterion for the study’s primary endpoint and a seventh participant met the responder criterion following the June interim update. Topline results from the study are anticipated to be available before the end of 2026. See Item 1A of this Annual Report for the related risks.

Factors Impacting our Results of Operations

We have not generated any meaningful revenues since our inception in March 2010. Over the last several years, we have conducted private placements and public offerings to raise additional capital, conducted pre-clinical and clinical trials, and conducted other research and development activities on our product candidates.

Due to the time required to conduct clinical trials and obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, we anticipate it will be some time before we generate substantial revenues, if ever. We expect to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future; therefore, we expect to continue efforts to raise additional capital to maintain our current operating plans over the next several years. We cannot assure you that we will secure such financing or that it will be adequate for the long-term execution of our business strategy. Even if we obtain additional financing, it may be costly and may require us to agree to covenants or other provisions that will favor new investors over our existing shareholders.

Key Components of Consolidated Statements of Operations

Research and development expenses. Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of cash and share-based compensation and employee benefits related to personnel engaged in R&D activities, clinical trial costs, licensing costs, and consulting and outside services engaged in the design and development of our product candidates and other scientific research projects. Our R&D costs also include an allocable portion of our facilities and overhead costs based on personnel and other resources devoted to R&D activities.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses consist primarily of cash and share-based compensation and employee benefits related to personnel engaged in our administrative, finance, accounting and executive functions. Our G&A expenses also include professional fees for business development, commercial planning, legal, auditing, consulting, investor relations, other costs primarily related to our status as a public company, and an allocable portion of our facilities and overhead costs based on personnel and other resources devoted to G&A activities.

Interest and other income. Interest and other income consist primarily of interest income earned on marketable debt securities and temporary cash investments, amortization of investment premiums and accretion of investment discounts.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Overview

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. These items are monitored and analyzed for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results for the

-22-

-

Table of Contents

period in which they become known. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

With respect to our significant accounting policies that are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report, we believe that the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Intangible assets related to in-licensing costs under license agreements with third parties are charged to expense unless we are able to determine that the licensing rights have an alternative future use in other research and development projects or otherwise.

Clinical Trial Accruals

Clinical trial costs are a component of research and development expenses. We accrue and recognize expenses for clinical trial activities performed by third parties based upon estimates of the percentage of work completed over the life of the individual study in accordance with agreements established with clinical research organizations and clinical trial sites. We determine our estimates through discussions with internal clinical personnel and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of trials or services and the agreed-upon fee to be paid for such services.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

We measure the fair value of services received in exchange for grants of share-based awards based on the fair value of the award as of the grant date. We compute the fair value of equity awards with time-based vesting using the Black-Scholes Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model and recognize the cost of the equity awards over the period that services are provided to earn the award. For stock option awards that contain a graded vesting schedule, and the only condition for vesting is a service condition, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period as if the award was, in substance, a single award. Fair value of RSUs is based on the closing market price on the date of grant whereby compensation costs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the RSUs.

We recognize the impact of forfeitures in the period that the forfeiture occurs, rather than estimating the number of awards that are not expected to vest in accounting for share-based compensation.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 reflect net losses of approximately $77.6 million and $74.4 million, respectively. Our consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, along with the changes between fiscal years, are summarized below (in thousands, except percentages):

​

Presented below is a discussion of the key factors that resulted in changes in our results of operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Table of Contents

Revenue. As a clinical stage company, we did not generate any revenue for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. We are at a late stage of clinical development and do not currently have any commercial products. Our existing product candidates will require extensive additional clinical evaluation, regulatory review, significant marketing efforts and substantial investment before they generate any revenue. We do not expect to be able to market any of our product candidates for several years.

Research and Development Expenses. R&D expenses for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

The decrease in R&D expenses of $7.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to (i) a decrease of $7.6 million related to ersodetug clinical and manufacturing costs and (ii) a decrease of $4.1 million in other R&D costs. These decreases amount to $11.7 million and were partially offset by a $3.4 million increase in R&D employee compensation and benefits and an increase of $0.6 million for severance expense.

The decrease in ersodetug program costs of $7.6 million primarily was driven by a decrease of $9.3 million due to lower spending on drug substance and drug product manufacturing, including decreases in activity for process performance qualification (“PPQ”) comparative to prior years PPQ activities to supply the sunRIZE OLE, upLIFT study and expanded access programs. This decrease of $9.3 million was partially offset by (i) an increase of $1.1 million in clinical costs due to startup activities, such as site activations, patient screenings and patient enrollment costs, for the Phase 3 upLIFT study, and (ii) an increase of $0.6 million in clinical trial costs for our congenital HI Phase 3 clinical study, which completed enrollment in May 2025, but still had 56 participants continuing on the OLE as of June 30, 2026. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, we had lower clinical costs incurred for the Phase 3 upLIFT study as startup costs did not commence until January 2025. In addition, clinical costs for the sunRIZE study were lower due to fewer patients that were actively on study protocol or OLE for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

Other R&D costs decreased by $4.1 million primarily due to a $5.0 million decrease in milestone payments under our ersodetug license agreement. The most recent milestone payment of $5.0 million became due in May 2025 upon dosing of the last patient in the Company’s Phase 3 sunRIZE clinical trial for ersodetug. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $0.9 million in other R&D costs related to quality and patient affairs costs incurred to support the Phase 3 clinical studies.

For the year ended June 30, 2026, we had an average of 45 R&D employees compared to 48 R&D employees for the year ended June 30, 2025. The $3.4 million increase in R&D compensation and benefits was attributable to an increase of $3.0 million in share-based compensation and an increase of $0.4 million in cash-based compensation and benefits. There was $0.9 million of severance expense related for 21 R&D employees that were terminated on December 15, 2025 in connection with a management implemented workforce reduction, compared to $0.3 million of severance expense recognized for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

General and Administrative Expenses. G&A expenses for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

The increase in G&A expenses of $10.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 was attributable to an increase of $5.7 million in G&A compensation and benefits, an increase of $4.6 million in other G&A costs related to business development and market research and planning activities in preparation for future ersodetug commercial activities, and an increase in severance expense of $0.5 million.

The $5.7 million increase in G&A compensation and benefits was attributable to an increase of $4.4 million in share-based compensation and an increase of $1.3 million in cash-based compensation and benefits. The increase of $1.3 million in

-24-

Table of Contents

cash-based compensation was due to an increase in the average number of G&A employees from 18 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 to 21 employees for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. There was $0.6 million of severance expense for eight G&A employees that were terminated on December 15, 2025 in connection with a management implemented workforce reduction, compared to $0.1 million of severance expense recognized in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

Interest and other income. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, we recognized $5.4 million of interest income compared to $5.5 million of interest income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. This decrease of $0.1 million was primarily due to lower yields in fiscal year 2026 as the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets held by us decreased from 4.35% on June 30, 2025 to 3.78% on June 30, 2026. The impact of lower yields was partially offset by a higher average monthly balance of investments in marketable debt securities throughout the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

Income Taxes. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we did not recognize any income tax benefit due to our net losses and our determination that a full valuation allowance was required for our deferred income tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short-term Liquidity Requirements

As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $10.6 million and investments in marketable debt securities $97.2 million for total capital resources of $107.8 million. Working capital amounted to approximately $99.1 million as of June 30, 2026. We have incurred cumulative net losses of $481.4 million since our inception and as a clinical stage company we have not generated any meaningful revenue to date.

Our primary source of liquidity has historically been from the completion of private placements and public offerings of our equity securities. The completion of equity financings between June 2024 and June 2025 is the primary source of total cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable debt securities of $107.8 million as of June 30, 2026.

Expected cash payments related to our existing contractual obligations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027 include approximately $0.8 million under our operating lease agreements.

Based on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt security investments totaling $107.8 million as of June 30, 2026, we believe we have adequate capital resources to meet our contractual obligations and carry out ongoing clinical trials and other planned activities for at least 12 months from the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2026.

Long-term Liquidity Requirements

Our most significant long-term contractual obligations consist of $25.0 million payable upon regulatory approval for ersodetug by any regulatory authority under the Ersodetug Licensing Agreement (as defined below), and additional clinical and regulatory milestone payments up to $25.0 million payable to ActiveSite. Due to uncertainties in the timing associated with clinical trial activities and regulatory approvals, there is even greater uncertainty in forecasting the timing of our long-term future clinical and regulatory milestone payments.

In addition to the clinical and regulatory milestone payments discussed above, upon the future commercialization of ersodetug and compounds from our PKI Portfolio (as defined below) we will be obligated to pay additional milestone payments and alternative indication regulatory approval payments for an aggregate up to $202.5 million and royalties based on the net sales of the related products. These future milestones include $185.0 million in potential payments under the Ersodetug License Agreement and $17.5 million to ActiveSite for various sales-based milestones and alternative indication regulatory approvals. No assurance can be provided that commercialization will ever be achieved for ersodetug or compounds from our PKI Portfolio, in which case none of these future payments may ever be required.

In addition to our licensing obligations, we also have approximately $0.2 million of long-term contractual obligations under existing operating lease agreements that expire by October 2027. Based on our current forecast, we expect that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund our short-term liquidity requirements. However, we will need to obtain additional equity or debt financing in order to fund all of our long-term liquidity requirements.

Table of Contents

Presented below is additional discussion about the ongoing requirements pursuant to our license agreements, along with additional information about our ongoing financing activities that impacted our liquidity and capital resources for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

Ersodetug License Agreement

In December 2017, we entered into a license agreement (the “Ersodetug License Agreement”) with XOMA through its wholly-owned subsidiary, XOMA (U.S.) LLC, pursuant to which XOMA granted an exclusive global license to develop and commercialize ersodetug for all indications. On July 14, 2026, XOMA was acquired by Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Ligand”).

To date we have paid a total of $12.0 million in milestone payments pursuant to the Ersodetug License Agreement. The most recent milestone payment of $5.0 million became due in May 2025 upon dosing of the last patient in our Phase 3 clinical trial for ersodetug and was paid in June 2025. The next milestone payment of $25.0 million will be due upon regulatory approval for ersodetug by any regulatory authority. We record a liability for milestone payments in our financial statements on the date that we achieve the milestone event. Additionally, upon the future commercialization of ersodetug, we will be required to pay royalties to Ligand based on the net sales of the related products, and milestone payments up to an additional $185.0 million if future net sales related to ersodetug exceed annual targets ranging from $100.0 million to $1.0 billion. Through June 30, 2026, no events have occurred that would result in a requirement to make additional milestone payments, and no royalties have been incurred to date.

ActiveSite License Agreement

In August 2017, we entered into a Development and License Agreement (the “ActiveSite License Agreement”) with ActiveSite Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ActiveSite”) pursuant to which we acquired the rights to ActiveSite’s Plasma Kallikrein Inhibitor program (“PKI Portfolio”). We initially focused on the development of RZ402 as a therapy for diabetic macular edema (“DME”). Following the completion of a Phase 2 clinical study for RZ402, we decided to pause the program to focus our resources on ersodetug. We are currently exploring the use of the PKI Portfolio to develop therapies for different indications. To date we have paid a total of $4.0 million in milestone payments to ActiveSite. The most recent milestone payment of $3.0 million was in February 2023 after dosing the first patient in a Phase 2 clinical trial for RZ402. The next milestone payment of $5.0 million will be due upon dosing of the first patient in a Phase 3 clinical trial. Remaining milestone payments under the ActiveSite License Agreement for various clinical and regulatory milestones amount to $25.0 million and milestones after commercial success or alternative indication approvals amount to $17.5 million. We will also be required to pay royalties equal to 2.0% of any net sales of products that use the PKI Portfolio. Through June 30, 2026, no events have occurred that would result in the requirement to make additional milestone payments, and no royalties have been incurred to date.

Cash Flows Summary

Table of Contents

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, cash flows used in operating activities amounted to $64.6 million and $69.1 million, respectively. The key components in the calculation of our cash used in operating activities are as follows (in thousands):

​

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, our net loss was $77.6 million compared to $74.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. For further discussion about changes in our operating results for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, please refer to Results of Operations above.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, our non-cash expenses of $15.1 million primarily consisted of share-based compensation expense of $14.5 million and non-cash lease expense of $0.6 million. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, our non-cash expenses of $7.7 million primarily consisted of share-based compensation expense of $7.1 million and non-cash lease expense of $0.5 million.

For each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, non-cash gains consisted of the net impact of accreting discounts and amortizing premiums on investments in marketable debt securities of $2.4 million.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, net changes in operating assets and liabilities increased operating cash flow by $0.3 million, primarily driven by a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $1.5 million associated with prepayments for clinical trials and manufacturing activities, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $1.2 million. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, net changes in operating assets and liabilities offset for a minimal increase in operating cash flow, primarily driven by an increase accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $2.1 million, partially offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $2.1 million associated with prepayments for clinical trials and manufacturing activities.

Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in investing activities amounted to $21.1 million, primarily related to cash outflows used to purchase marketable debt securities of $178.2 million, partially offset by the proceeds from maturities of marketable debt securities of $157.1 million. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in investing activities amounted to $14.5 million, primarily related to cash outflows used to purchase marketable debt securities of $128.1 million, partially offset by the proceeds from maturities of marketable debt securities of $113.6 million.

Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of $2.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to cash receipts from the exercise of employee stock options.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 amounted to $107.3 million. This amount consisted of (i) proceeds of $97.3 million from the 2025 Underwritten Offering, (ii) proceeds of $6.0 million from the 2024 Private Placement, and (iii) proceeds of $4.2 million from the 2025 Private Placement. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, we also received proceeds of $0.9 million from the exercise of employee stock options and paid $1.1 million for offering costs.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Rezolute, Inc.

​

Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rezolute, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2026, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical audit matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.
