3. California Institute for Regenerative Medicine Awards

FT819 CIRM Award

In February 2024, the Company was awarded $7.9 million from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) to support the conduct of the Company’s Phase 1 study of FT819 in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and, in April 2024, the Company executed an award agreement with CIRM (the FT819 CIRM Award). Pursuant to the terms of the FT819 CIRM Award, the Company is eligible to receive five disbursements in varying amounts from CIRM, with one disbursement receivable upon the execution of the award and four disbursements receivable based upon the completion of certain development milestones throughout the period of the award, which is estimated to be from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2028 (the Award Period). Under the FT819 CIRM Award, the Company has certain obligations of co-funding and is required to provide CIRM progress and financial update reports throughout the Award Period.

Following the conclusion of the Award Period, the Company, in its sole discretion, has the option to treat the FT819 CIRM Award either as a loan or as a grant. If the Company does not elect to treat the FT819 CIRM Award as a loan within 10 years of the award date, the award will be considered a grant and the Company will be obligated to pay CIRM, on a quarterly basis, a low single-digit royalty on commercial sales of FT819 until such aggregate royalty payments equal nine times the total amount awarded to the Company under the FT819 CIRM Award.

Since the Company may, at its election, repay some or all of the FT819 CIRM Award, the Company accounts for the award as a liability until the time of election. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has received two disbursements under the FT819 CIRM Award in the aggregate amount of $5.1 million, which is recorded as a liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2025, the entire balance is classified as non-current as the Company does not expect any amount to be payable within the next 12 months.

FT836 CIRM Award

In January 2025, the Company was awarded $4.0 million from CIRM to support the conduct of preclinical and Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling activities for FT836, and in May 2025, the Company executed an award agreement with CIRM (the FT836 CIRM Award). Pursuant to the terms of the FT836 CIRM Award, the Company is eligible to receive four disbursements in varying amounts from CIRM, with one disbursement receivable upon the execution of the award and three disbursements receivable based upon the completion of certain development milestones throughout the period of the award, which is estimated to be from May 1, 2025 to October 31, 2025 (the Award Period). Under the FT836 CIRM Award, the Company has certain obligations of co-funding and is required to provide CIRM progress and financial update reports throughout the Award Period.

Following the conclusion of the Award Period, the Company, in its sole discretion, has the option to treat the FT836 CIRM Award either as a loan or as a grant. If the Company does not elect to treat the FT836 CIRM Award as a loan within 10 years of the award date, the award will be considered a grant and the Company will be obligated to pay CIRM, on a quarterly basis, a low

single-digit royalty on commercial sales of FT836 until such aggregate royalty payments equal nine times the total amount awarded to the Company under the FT836 CIRM Award.

Since the Company may, at its election, repay some or all of the FT836 CIRM Award, the Company accounts for the award as a liability until the time of election. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has received three disbursements under the FT836 CIRM Award in the aggregate amount of $3.8 million. As of September 30, 2025, the total amount received is recorded as a CIRM liability in the consolidated balance sheets, with $2.3 million classified as current and the remaining $1.5 million as non-current, based on the portion expected to be payable within twelve months from the balance sheet date.
