1. Organization and Nature of the Business

Structure Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical stage global biopharmaceutical company aiming to develop and deliver novel oral therapeutics to treat a wide range of chronic diseases with unmet medical need. The Company was incorporated in February 2019 in the Cayman Islands, with operating subsidiaries in the United States and China. In June 2022, the Company changed its name from ShouTi Inc. to Structure Therapeutics Inc.

Initial Public Offering

In February 2023, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”). Each ADS represents three ordinary shares. The net proceeds from the IPO were approximately $166.7 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering costs.

Upon the closing of the IPO, all outstanding shares of the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred shares converted into 67,018,087 ordinary shares. In connection with the completion of its IPO, the Company’s memorandum of association was amended and restated to provide for 500,000,000 authorized ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 100,000,000 authorized undesignated shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share, of such class or classes as may be designated by the Company’s board of directors in accordance with the Company’s articles of association.

Private Placement

On September 29, 2023, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the Purchasers an aggregate of 21,617,295 ordinary shares and 2,401,920 newly designated non-voting ordinary shares at a purchase price of $12.49 per share (or the equivalent of $37.47 per ADS), the closing price of its ADS on the Nasdaq Global Market on September 28, 2023 (the “Private Placement”). Each holder of non-voting ordinary shares had the right to convert each non-voting ordinary share held by such holder into one ordinary share, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. The Private Placement closed on October 3, 2023, and the Company received $281.5 million in net proceeds after deducting placement agent fees and other private placement expenses. As of December 31, 2023, all outstanding non-voting ordinary shares had been converted into ordinary shares.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has incurred significant net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $232.6 million as of March 31, 2024. Prior to completion of its IPO, the Company has financed its operations primarily through the private placement of equity securities. In February 2023, the Company completed its IPO for net proceeds of approximately $166.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering costs. In October 2023, the Company closed its Private Placement for net proceeds of approximately $281.5 million after deducting placement agent fees and other private placement expenses.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $436.4 million. Based on its current business plan, the Company believes that its current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to fund its projected operations for at least 12 months from the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Geopolitical and Macroeconomic Factors

There may be significant uncertainty resulting from the impact of other geopolitical and macroeconomic factors, including global pandemics, inflation, supply chain issues, rising interest rates, future bank failures, increased geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China and the impact of the Russia/Ukraine conflict and the Israel-Hamas war. No adjustments have been made to these condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of these uncertainties.
