BARINTHUS BIOTHERAPEUTICS PLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Barinthus Biotherapeutics plc is a public limited company incorporated pursuant to the laws of England and Wales in March 2021. Barinthus Biotherapeutics plc and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, Barinthus Biotherapeutics (UK) Limited, Barinthus Biotherapeutics North America, Vaccitech Oncology Limited (“VOLT”), Barinthus Biotherapeutics Pty Limited, and Barinthus Biotherapeutics Switzerland GmbH, are collectively referred to as the “Company” or “Barinthus Bio.”
The Company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel immunotherapeutic drug candidates for treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases within the immunology and inflammation (“I&I”) space. The Company is also evaluating two product candidates to treat infectious diseases and cancer that harness its proprietary viral vector platform technologies, consisting of ChAdOx and MVA, which are designed to increase disease-specific CD8+T cells. The Company occupies laboratory and office space in Germantown, Maryland, United States.
The Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change and substantial competition from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biopharmaceutical industry that are also in a similar stage of its life cycle including, but not limited to, the need to obtain adequate additional funding, possible failure of preclinical testing or clinical trials, the need to obtain marketing approval for its product candidates, competitors developing new technological innovations, the need to successfully commercialize and gain market acceptance of any of its products that are approved, and protection of proprietary technology. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained, that any products developed will obtain required regulatory approval or that any approved products will be commercially viable. Even if the Company’s development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate significant product sales. If the Company does not successfully commercialize any of its products or mitigate any of these other risks, it will be unable to generate revenue or achieve profitability.
Basis of presentation
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain notes or other information that are normally required by GAAP have been omitted if they substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, was derived from the audited financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $87.8 million and an accumulated deficit of $278.4 million, and the Company expects to incur losses for the foreseeable future. The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash will be sufficient to fund current operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company expects to seek additional funding through equity financing, government or private-party grants, debt financings or other capital sources, including collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, and the Company may not be able to enter into collaborations or other arrangements. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or rights of the Company’s stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient capital, the Company will be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of its research and development programs, product portfolio expansion or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects, or the Company may be unable to continue operations. Although management continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the Company to fund continuing operations, if at all.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “Annual Report”) on March 20, 2025. In the Company's opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair statement of its financial position as of June 30, 2025, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025, or any other interim periods.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Company are set forth in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report, except as discussed below related to newly adopted accounting pronouncements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience when available and on various factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. The Company’s actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
As of the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is not aware of any other specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to update its estimates, assumptions and judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained and are recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to the Company’s financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and has elected not to “opt out” of the extended transition related to complying with new or revised accounting standards, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public and nonpublic companies, the Company can adopt the new or revised standard at the time nonpublic companies adopt the new or revised standard and can do so until such time the Company either (i) irrevocably elects to “opt out” of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company.
The Company has reviewed all recently issued standards and have determined that such standards do not or are not expected to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or do not otherwise apply to its current operations.

In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, in which the Board's intent in the basis of conclusion of Update 2024-03 is clear that all public business entities should initially adopt the disclosure requirements in the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard to determine its impact on our disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires disaggregation of specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements and a qualitative description of the remaining expense amounts not separately disaggregated. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and requires prospective application with the option to apply it retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard to determine its impact on our disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard to determine its impact on our disclosures.
3. Segment information
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The CODM approves key operating and strategic decisions, including key decisions in clinical development and clinical operating activities, entering into significant contracts and approves the Company's consolidated operating budget. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one operating segment, the research and development of immunotherapies and vaccines. The CODM uses loss before income tax to monitor budget versus actual results and decide how to use the Company's resources. As the Company operates in one operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The following table is a summary of the Company's significant segment expenses:

5. Net Loss Per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 (in thousands, except number of shares):

| Three months ended June 30, |  | Six months ended June 30,
| 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | 2024
Numerator: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net loss | $ | (21,126) |  |  | $ | (16,943) |  |  | $ | (40,784) |  |  | $ | (32,463) |
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest | 2 |  |  | 12 |  |  | 12 |  |  | 43 |
Net loss attributable to Barinthus Biotherapeutics plc shareholders | $ | (21,124) |  |  | $ | (16,931) |  |  | $ | (40,772) |  |  | $ | (32,420) |
Denominator: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding, basic | 40,343,521 |  | 39,041,111 |  | 40,304,584 |  | 38,907,296
Weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding, diluted | 40,343,521 |  | 39,041,111 |  | 40,304,584 |  | 38,907,296
Net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders, basic | $ | (0.52) |  |  | $ | (0.43) |  |  | $ | (1.01) |  |  | $ | (0.83) |
Net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders, diluted | $ | (0.52) |  |  | $ | (0.43) |  |  | $ | (1.01) |  |  | $ | (0.83) |

Since the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share, as the inclusion of all potential ordinary share equivalents outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2025, 7,625,728 potential ordinary shares issuable for stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because including these shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect (June 30, 2024: 7,779,884).
6. Property and Equipment, Net
Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2024: $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively).
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a gain of $0.3 million, from the sale of U.K. laboratory equipment (three and six months ended June 30, 2024: nil) and recorded associated proceeds of $0.5 million (three and six months ended June 30, 2024: nil).
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $0.4 million (December 31, 2024: nil) of U.K. laboratory equipment as held for sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company measures assets held for sale at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The sale of U.K. laboratory equipment is expected to be completed in 2025.
7. Intangible Assets, Net
The gross amount of amortizable intangible assets, consisting of acquired developed technology, was $31.6 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and accumulated amortization was $11.2 million and $9.7 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $0.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2024: $0.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively). The estimated annual amortization expense is $3.2 million for the years 2025 through 2031.
8. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets (in thousands):

| June 30, 2025 |  | December 31, 2024
Prepayments | $ | 6,350 |  |  | $ | 5,771 |

10. Grant Income
Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (“CEPI”) Funding Agreement
On December 20, 2023, Barinthus Biotherapeutics (UK) Limited (the “Company”), the Chancellors, Masters and Scholars of the University of Oxford (“Oxford,” together with the Company, the “Partners”) and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (“CEPI”) entered into a Funding Agreement (the “Funding Agreement”) pursuant to which CEPI will provide funding of up to $34.8 million to the Company to advance the development of VTP-500, the Company’s vaccine candidate against Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (“MERS,” and such development activities, the “Project”). In December 2023, VTP-500 received PRIME (PRIority MEdicines) designation by the European Medicines Agency.
Pursuant to the Funding Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay CEPI on a country-by-country basis increasing mid-single digit percentage royalties of net sales and net income with respect to future cash sales of VTP-500, less certain deductions, for a period starting on December 20, 2023 (“Effective Date”) and ending the later of: (i) the expiration of the last valid patent claim included in intellectual property developed under the Project covering VTP-500 in such country, (ii) the expiration of Regulatory Exclusivity (as defined in the Funding Agreement) for VTP-500 in such country, and (iii) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the first commercial sale of VTP-500 (the “Royalty Term”). The Company shall also pay CEPI a mid-double-digit percentage of net revenue earned on VTP-500 until CEPI has received payments from the Company under the Funding Agreement equaling the total amount of funding paid by CEPI to the Company and a low double-digit percentage of such net revenue thereafter. Sales for the benefit of end users in specified low and middle income countries (“LMICs”) and upper and middle income countries (“UMICs”) are excluded from the calculations of net sales and net revenue. Sales of the product for the benefit of end users in LMICs and UMICs are subject to tiered discounted pricing requirements under the Funding Agreement. The Company is further required to pay a low to mid-double-digit percentage of any proceeds earned on any priority review voucher related to VTP-500 during the Royalty Term.
In January 2025, the Company announced its strategic focus on developing a pipeline in I&I, and the deprioritization of its programs in infectious disease and oncology. The Company intends to exit the Funding Agreement as part of aligning resources in accordance with the Company's strategy.
During the six months period ended June 30, 2025, nil (June 30, 2024: $1.6 million) proceeds have been received. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 $0.01 million and $0.3 million, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2024: $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively) income has been recognized in relation to this contract. This is presented as other operating income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The Funding Agreement cash payments are restricted as to the use and management of the funds. The remaining unused amounts of the Funding Agreement cash payments of $1.5 million as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: $1.7 million) are reflected in restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheets until expenditures contemplated in the Funding Agreement are incurred.

Deferred income
Deferred income relates to payments received from CEPI in advance of the eligible research and development expenses being incurred and are disclosed as deferred income separately in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred income is released to the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period in which such research and development activities are actually performed in a manner that satisfies the conditions of the Funding Agreement.
Changes in deferred income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, are as follows (in thousands):

11. Ordinary Shares
All ordinary shares rank pari passu as a single class. The following is a summary of the rights and privileges of the holders of ordinary shares as of June 30, 2025:
Liquidation preference: in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company available for distribution to holders of the ordinary shares shall be distributed amongst all holders of the ordinary shares in proportion to the number of shares held irrespective of the amount paid or credited as paid on any share.
Dividends: The Company may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 and its Articles, by ordinary resolution from time to time declare dividends to be paid to shareholders not exceeding the amount recommended by the Company’s board of directors. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act 2006, insofar as, in the board of directors’ opinions, the Company’s profits justify such payments, the board of directors may pay interim dividends on the Company’s ordinary shares.
Voting Rights: Each holder of ordinary shares has the right to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Company’s general meetings. Each holder of ordinary shares who is present (in person or by proxy) at a general meeting on a show of hands has one vote and, on a poll, every such holder who is present (in person or by proxy) has one vote in respect of each share of which they are the holder.
Preemption rights: Pursuant to section 561 of the Companies Act 2006, shareholders are granted preemptive rights when new shares are issued for cash. However, it is possible under the Articles, for shareholders at a general meeting representing at least 75% of the Company's ordinary shares present (in person or by proxy) and eligible to vote at that general meeting, to disapply these preemptive rights by passing a special resolution. Such a disapplication of preemption rights may be for a maximum period of up to five years from the date on which the shareholder resolution was passed. In either case, this disapplication would need to be renewed by the Company's shareholders upon its expiration (i.e., at least every five years) to remain effective.
On April 21, 2021, the Company's shareholders approved the disapplication of preemptive rights for a period of five years from the date of approval by way of a special resolution of shareholders. This included the disapplication of preemption rights in relation to the allotment of the Company's ordinary shares in connection with the IPO. This disapplication will need to be renewed upon expiration (i.e., at least every five years) to remain effective, but may be sought more frequently for additional five-year terms (or any shorter period).

(UNAUDITED)
On November 6, 2023, the Company held a general meeting where its shareholders approved resolutions granting the board of directors or any duly authorized committee of the board of directors the authority to allot shares in the Company or grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares in the Company free from pre-emption rights. Pursuant to such approval, the board of directors was authorized to allot shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of £1,928 free from statutory pre-emption rights. The granting of this authority and the corresponding disapplication of preemptive rights was in addition to all subsisting authorities. This disapplication will need to be renewed upon expiration (i.e., at least every five years) to remain effective, but may be sought more frequently for additional five-year terms (or any shorter period).
12. Deferred Shares
All deferred shares rank pari passu as a single class. The deferred shares do not have rights to dividends or to any other right of participation in the profits of the Company. On a return of assets on liquidation, the deferred shares shall confer on the holders thereof an entitlement to receive out of the assets of the Company available for distribution amongst the shareholders (subject to the rights of any new class of shares with preferred rights) the amount credited as paid up on the deferred shares held by them respectively after (but only after) payment shall have been made to the holders of the ordinary shares of the amounts paid up or credited as paid up on such shares and the sum of £1.0 million in respect of each ordinary share held by them respectively. The deferred shares shall confer on the holders thereof no further right to participate in the assets of the Company. The Company’s deferred A shares with a nominal value of £1.00 each remain in issue for the purposes of satisfying the minimum share capital requirements for a public limited company as prescribed by the Companies Act 2006.
13. Fair Value
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts payable, certain accrued expenses, and contingent consideration. The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their respective fair value due to the short-term nature and maturity of these instruments.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had a contingent consideration liability of $2.5 million related to the acquisition of Avidea Technologies, Inc. (“Avidea”). Avidea’s stockholders may be entitled to receive an aggregate of up to $40.0 million in additional payments, payable in a combination of cash and American Depositary Shares, upon the achievement of certain milestones. To date, the Company has made settlement payments of $0.5 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration is a Level 3 valuation and determined using the cost approach. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration are the probability of success of achievement of the milestones and the expected date of the milestone achievement. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of certain of these inputs. Significant increases (decreases) in the probability of success of achievement of the milestones would have resulted in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Significant extension (reduction) in the expected date of the milestone achievement would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
The following table summarizes changes to the Company's financial instruments carried at fair value and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

| Three months ended June 30, |  | Six months ended June 30,
| 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | 2024

14. Share-Based Compensation
During the six month period ended June 30, 2025, in accordance with the terms of the Annual Increase of the Barinthus Biotherapeutics plc Award Plan 2021 (the “Plan”), the total number of ordinary shares available for issuance under the Plan increased by 4% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares as of January 1, 2025.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
In-License Agreements
The Company is party to a number of licensing agreements, most of which are with related parties. These agreements serve to provide the Company with the right to develop and exploit the counterparties’ intellectual property for certain medical indications. As part of execution of these arrangements, the Company paid certain upfront fees, which have been expensed as incurred because the developing technology has not yet reached technical feasibility, the lack of alternative use, and the lack of proof of potential value. The agreements cover a variety of fields, including influenza, cancer, human papillomavirus infection, (“HPV”), hepatitis B virus (“HBV”) and MERS. The Company’s obligations for future payments under these arrangements are dependent on its ability to develop promising drug candidates, the potential market for these candidates and potential competing products, and the payment mechanisms in place in countries where the Company retains the right to sell. Each agreement provides for specific milestone payments, typically triggered by achievement of certain testing phases in human candidates, and future royalties ranging from 1% to 5% for direct sales of a covered product to 3% to 7% of net payments received for allowable sublicenses of technology developed by the Company. The obligation to make these payments is contingent upon the Company’s ability to develop candidates for submission for phased testing and approvals, and for the development of markets for the products developed by the Company. The Company has not made or accrued any material payments under these license agreements during the six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Leases
The Company leases certain laboratory and office space under operating leases, which are described below.
The Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, Oxfordshire
On September 3, 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement for the lease of approximately 31,000 square feet in Harwell, Oxfordshire which expires in September 2031. As the Company’s leases typically do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date, being the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term at an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The Company has provided the lessor with a refundable security deposit of $0.7 million which is included in Other assets.
In August 2025, the Company ceased the research and development activities undertaken in the laboratory and is transitioning the remaining clinical and operational workforce to remote roles. The Company is actively marketing the building in Harwell, Oxfordshire, for the remainder of the lease. In 2024, an impairment charge to write down the U.K. operating lease right-of-use asset to the estimated recoverable amount has been recorded and the estimated useful life of the asset reduced.
Germantown, Maryland
On June 14, 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement for the lease of approximately 19,700 square feet in Germantown, Maryland. The site houses the Company’s state-of-the-art wet laboratory in the United States of America. The lease expires on February 28, 2034, with the Company having a single right to extend for an additional five years on the same terms and conditions other than for the base rent. The Company had a rent-free period up to February 29, 2024, and was entitled to up to $3.5 million for leasehold improvements to the premises desired by the Company. The Company has provided the lessor with a refundable security deposit of $0.2 million which is included in Other assets.
The Company recorded a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the effective date of the lease term. The Company’s right-of-use asset and lease liability are as follows (in thousands):

Other contingencies
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company does not believe it is party to any claim or litigation the outcome of which, if determined adversely to it, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. However, from time to time, the Company could be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. Regardless of the outcome, legal proceedings can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
16. Related Party Transactions
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred expenses, related to clinical study costs, of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2024: $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively) from Oxford University Innovation Limited, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company’s shareholder, the University of Oxford.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this unaudited Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Factors that might cause future results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other filings with the SEC.
Overview
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel immunotherapeutic drug candidates for treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases within the immunology and inflammation (“I&I”) space. Helping patients and their families is the guiding principle at the heart of Barinthus Bio. We aim to achieve this by developing truly transformational and highly disease-specific immunotherapies.
We are prioritizing the development of a pipeline for I&I indications enabled by our proprietary and highly differentiated platform for promoting immune tolerance, referred to as SNAP-TI, that are designed to guide patient's T cells to reduce inflammation and restore the natural state of immune non-responsiveness to healthy tissue. Our lead candidate, VTP-1000, is designed to restore immune non-responsiveness to gluten in patients with celiac disease, and is currently being assessed in a Phase 1 clinical trial. Based on encouraging preclinical data, we believe that the SNAP-TI platform has the potential to impact multiple other I&I indications.
We are also evaluating a product candidate to treat infectious disease that harnesses our proprietary viral vector platform technologies, consisting of ChAdOx and MVA; these technologies are designed to increase disease-specific CD8+ T cells. VTP-300, a Phase 2 immunotherapeutic treatment modality that is a component of a treatment regimen to establish functional cure in patients who are chronically infected by the hepatitis B virus. We intend to progress the development of this product candidate by completing the ongoing clinical trials and are seeking a partner or collaborator for continuing development.
We believe our core capabilities at the intersection of T cell immunology and immunotherapeutic technology platforms combined with our track record of successfully executing development path activities uniquely position us to navigate towards delivering promising new treatments for patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and building value for shareholders.
We have incurred net losses in each annual and interim reporting period since 2023. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred a net loss of $21.2 million and $40.8 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $278.4 million, and we do not currently expect positive cash flows from operations in the foreseeable future. We expect to incur net operating losses for at least the next several years as we advance our product candidates through clinical development, seek regulatory approval, prepare for approval, and in some cases proceed to commercialization of our product candidates, as well as continue our research and development efforts, as and when appropriate.
16

Table of Contents
At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate, or know the nature, timing and estimated costs of all of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the development of any of our product candidates that we develop through our programs. We are also unable to predict when, if ever, material net cash inflows will commence from sales of product candidates we develop, if at all. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing product candidates to approval and commercialization, including the uncertainty of:
•successful completion of preclinical studies and clinical trials;
•sufficiency of our financial and other resources to complete the necessary preclinical studies and clinical trials;
•acceptance of investigational new drug applications (“INDs”) for our planned clinical trials or future clinical trials;
•successful and timely enrollment and completion of clinical trials;
•data from our clinical program supporting approvable and commercially acceptable risk/benefit profiles for our product candidates in the intended populations;
•receipt and maintenance of necessary regulatory and marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities, in the light of the commercial environment then existent;
•availability and successful procurement of raw materials required to manufacture our products for clinical trials, scale-up of our manufacturing processes and formulation of our product candidates for later stages of development and commercial production;
•establishing either our own manufacturing capabilities or satisfactory agreements with third-party manufacturers for clinical supply for later stages of development and commercial manufacturing;
•entry into collaborations or partnerships, where appropriate, to further the development of our product candidates;
•obtaining and maintaining intellectual property and trade secret protection or regulatory exclusivity for our product candidates as well as qualifying for, maintaining, enforcing and defending such intellectual property rights and claims;
•successfully launching or assisting with the launch of commercial sales of our product candidates following approval;
•acceptance of each product’s benefits and uses by patients, the medical community and third-party payors following approval;
•the prevalence and severity of any adverse events experienced with our product candidates in development;
•establishing and maintaining a continued acceptable safety profile of the product candidates following approval;
•obtaining and maintaining healthcare coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors if necessary or desirable; and
•effectively competing with other therapies.
A change in the outcome of any of these or other variables with respect to the development of any of our current and future product candidates could significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate, in either direction. Furthermore, our operating plans may change in the future owing to research outcomes or other opportunities, and we may need additional funds to meet operational needs and capital requirements associated with such altered operating plans. Unless and until we can generate a substantial amount of revenue from our product candidates, if approved, we expect to finance our future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, licensing arrangements or other sources, or any combination of the foregoing. Based on our research and development plans, we expect that our existing cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and other financial resources, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements to the start of 2027. These estimates are based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources more quickly than we expect.
If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we would be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Recent Developments
VTP-1000: Celiac
The first and second cohorts of the single ascending dose part of the Phase 1 AVALON clinical trial have been dosed, with no treatment related serious adverse events reported to date. Screening for enrollment into the third and final cohort in this part of the trial is ongoing, and is anticipated to be complete in the third quarter of 2025. We anticipate having safety, tolerability and biomarker data available from this phase of the trial early in the fourth quarter of 2025.
In June 2025, the FDA approved an amendment of the protocol to open the multiple ascending dose cohort of the respective dose following successful completion of the corresponding single ascending dose cohort; consequently we opened the multiple ascending dose part of the Phase 1 AVALON clinical trial in July 2025.
Impact of International Conflicts
In respect of the international conflicts in Gaza, Ukraine and Iran, we have no operations or suppliers based in Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, or Iran, and as a result, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we believe the impact on our business, operations and financial condition will be minimal.
Impact of Global Economic Conditions and Inflationary Pressures
Instability in global economic conditions and geopolitical matters, as well as volatility in financial markets, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Inflationary pressures, volatile interest rates, or intensified disruptions in the global financial markets could adversely affect our future financing capability or ability to access the capital markets. Additionally, we may incur future increases in operating costs due to additional inflationary increases.
Components of Our Operating Results
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses since inception have consisted of research and development costs and general and administrative costs.
Research and Development Expenses
Since our inception, we have focused significant resources on our research and development activities, including establishing and building on our adenovirus platform, further enhancing our in-licensed ChAdOx1, ChAdOx2 and MVA vectors, developing a next-generation adenoviral vector, acquiring new technology platforms including SNAP-TI, conducting preclinical studies, developing various manufacturing processes, and advancing our clinical programs. Research and development activities account for a large portion of our operating expenses, and product candidates in later stages of development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages, due to larger and more complex clinical trials, manufacturing scale-up and an increase in research and development headcount to oversee these activities. We are currently seeking partners to fund or collaborate on certain of our programs, including VTP-300 and VTP-850, which we do not intend to develop beyond the completion of the ongoing trials, as applicable. We expect research and development expenses to increase in the future as we progress our program through the next stage of development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These costs include:
•salaries, benefits, and other related costs, including share-based compensation, for personnel engaged in research and development functions;
•expenses incurred in connection with the development of our programs including preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates, under agreements with third parties, such as consultants, contractors, academic institutions and contract research organizations (“CROs”);
•the cost of manufacturing drug products for use in preclinical development and clinical trials, including agreements with third parties, such as contract manufacturing organizations, consultants and contractors;
•laboratory costs; and
•leased facility costs, equipment depreciation and other expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses.
18

Table of Contents
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, in our executive, finance, business development and other administrative functions. Other general and administrative expenses include consulting fees and professional service fees for auditing, tax and legal services, rent expenses related to our offices, depreciation, foreign exchange gains and losses on our cash balances, other central non-research costs and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration. When determining the fair value of contingent consideration, significant judgment is used to determine the probability of success of achievement of the technology and clinical milestones and the date of the expected milestone.
Our general and administrative expenses would continue to increase in the future if we expand our operating activities and if we seek to manufacture and/or commercialize any of our current and future product candidates. These costs will increase if our headcount rises to allow full support for our operations as a public company, including increased expenses related to legal, accounting, regulatory and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with requirements of the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance premiums and investor relations activities.
Other Operating Income
Other operating income includes the CEPI Funding Agreement pursuant to which CEPI will provide funding to us to advance the development of VTP-500, our vaccine candidate against MERS. When there is reasonable assurance that we will comply with the conditions attached to a received grant, and when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, grant income is recognized as other operating income on a gross basis in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which we recognize expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Payments received in advance of incurring reimbursable expenses are recorded as deferred income. Any remaining unused amounts of the cash payments received on the balance sheets will be disclosed as restricted cash in the notes of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other Income/(Expense)
Interest Income
Interest income results primarily from the interest earned on our short-term cash deposits and cash balances held by Barinthus Biotherapeutics (UK) Limited.
Research and Development Incentives
Research and development incentives contain payments receivable from the United Kingdom government related to corporation tax relief for qualifying expenditure on research and development projects in the United Kingdom. We account for such relief received as other income. Qualifying expenditures largely comprise employment costs for research staff, consumables, outsourced contract research organization costs, externally provided workers and utilities costs incurred as part of research projects. A large portion of costs relating to research and development, clinical trials and manufacturing activities are eligible for inclusion within these tax credit cash rebate claims.
For 2025 we benefit from the applicable United Kingdom research and development tax credit regime, which is the merged scheme Research & Development expenditure credit (“RDEC”) and enhanced R&D intensive support (“ERIS”) that replaces the old RDEC and small and medium-sized enterprise (“SME”) schemes for accounting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2024. For expenditure under the merged scheme, the rate of Research and Development expenditure credit is 20%, which is the same as the rate under the old RDEC scheme for expenditure incurred on or after April 1, 2023. For loss-makers and small profit-makers, a lower rate of notional tax restriction (currently 19%) applies at payment. The amount of the Pay As You Earn (“PAYE”) cap for claims under both the merged scheme and ERIS is £20,000 plus 300% of the company’s relevant PAYE and National Insurance contributions liabilities. The PAYE cap (where applicable) will limit the amount of payable credit that can be received in the accounting period under consideration. Any excess over the cap will be carried forward and treated as an amount of Research and Development expenditure credit to which the company will be entitled for the next accounting period. Based on prior claims and the split of qualifying spend it is expected that the PAYE cap is unlikely to affect the net benefit. Furthermore, legislation included in Finance Act 2024 restricts the extent to which payments to contractors for R&D and externally provided workers can qualify for R&D relief where R&D activity takes place outside the U.K., which may restrict the ability to include cost incurred on externally provided workers (“EPWs”) based in the U.S.
19

Table of Contents
For 2024, we benefited from the applicable United Kingdom research and development tax credit regime, being the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises R&D tax relief program (“SME Program”), and, to the extent that our projects are grant funded or relate to work subcontracted to us by third parties, the Research and Development Expenditure Credit program (“RDEC Program”). Under the SME Program, we were able to surrender some of our trading losses that arise from qualifying research and development activities for a cash rebate of up to 18.6% of such qualifying research and development expenditure, as the SME additional deduction is 86% and the SME credit rate is 10%.
Under both the merged RDEC scheme and the SME program, a company qualifies as an R&D intensive business if R&D expenditure constitutes at least 30% of total expenditure. From the analysis performed, we have not and do not expect to claim under the loss-making R&D intensive scheme criteria primarily due to the proportion of total relevant expenditure occurring outside the United Kingdom.
In future years, we may not be able to continue to claim research and development tax credits under the United Kingdom research and development tax credit regime if we no longer qualify based on the eligibility criteria. Unsurrendered U.K. losses may be carried forward indefinitely to be offset against future taxable profits, subject to numerous utilization criteria and restrictions. The amount that can be offset each year is limited to £5.0 million plus an incremental 50% of U.K. taxable profits. There was no tax loss restriction applied to the R&D tax credits in the U.K. for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to fair value of contingent consideration and impairment of intangible assets. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market specific and relevant assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We believe that the following accounting policies are critical to the process of making significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements and understanding and evaluating our reported financial results.
Long-lived Assets
We review long-lived assets to be held and used, including property and equipment, intangible assets and operating lease right-of-use assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets or asset group may not be recoverable. Evaluation of recoverability is first based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values.
In January 2025, we announced plans to prioritize our pipeline to focus on the development of VTP-1000 in celiac disease, and focus the future pipeline on I&I indications. In addition, we continued to experience a sustained decline in the price of our American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), whereby the market capitalization continues to be below the value of our net assets. Given this change in our focus and sustained decline in share price, management identified circumstances that could indicate the carrying amount of our intangible assets may not be recoverable. Therefore, we performed both a qualitative and quantitative assessment in January 2025 and determined the carrying amount of our intangible assets are recoverable.
As of June 30, 2025, we did not identify any additional circumstances that may indicate the carrying amount of our long-lived assets, including intangible assets, are not recoverable and hence no impairment has been recorded.

Table of Contents
Contingent Consideration
We recognize a contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of Avidea Technologies, Inc. (“Avidea”). The liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. The fair value of the contingent consideration is a Level 3 valuation determined using significant unobservable inputs being the probability of success of achievement of the milestones and the expected date of the milestone achievement. Avidea’s stockholders may be entitled to receive an aggregate of up to $40.0 million in additional payments, payable in a combination of cash and ADSs, upon the achievement of certain milestones. This contingent consideration is included within the purchase price and is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date, and subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. Changes in fair value are recognized in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of contingent consideration is based on the probability of pursuit of the activity associated with the milestone, the probability of success of the achievement of the milestone, the expected date of milestone achievement and applying the relevant discount rate.

Our research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $8.0 million and $11.7 million, respectively.
Direct expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $4.7 million and $6.4 million, respectively, and consisted of outside services, consultants, laboratory materials, clinical trials, manufacturing of clinical trial materials, as well as costs for external preclinical services and sample testing. Of the $1.7 million decrease, $2.1 million pertains to a net decrease in spend across the infectious disease and oncology programs following the strategic decision to prioritize pipeline assets within the I&I space offset by an increase of $0.4 million pertaining to spend on VTP-1000 as the program has progressed into the clinic in the ongoing Phase 1 AVALON clinical trial, having completed the IND enabling studies and manufacturing of drug product during 2024.
Indirect research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $3.2 million and $5.2 million, respectively. The decrease of $2.0 million primarily relates to the reduction in headcount in the research and manufacturing teams, following our announcements in June 2024 and January 2025 to prioritize our pipeline and as a result, reduce the size of the workforce and the associated personnel-related expense (including share-based compensation).
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $15.4 million and $7.2 million, respectively. The increase of $8.2 million relates primarily to a loss of $8.0 million on foreign exchange for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a loss of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily relating to an increase in unrealized losses on foreign exchange driven mainly by translation of United States dollar balances in pound sterling denominated entities, and an increase of $2.0 million in professional fees attributable to increased strategic activity, offset by a decrease of $1.5 million in personnel-related expenses relating to the reduction in headcount in the general and administrative teams, following our announcements in June 2024 and January 2025 to prioritize our pipeline and as a result, reduce the size of the workforce and the associated personnel-related expense (including share-based compensation).

Other Operating Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, other operating income was $0.01 million and $0.6 million, respectively, resulting from a reduction in the spend on the development of VTP-500 for the prevention of MERS and associated utilization of the funding provided by CEPI under the Funding Agreement, following the strategic decision to prioritize pipeline assets within the I&I space.
Interest Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, interest income was $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, with the decrease resulting from both the reduction in interest rates and the reduction in cash amounts on short-term cash deposits held by Barinthus Biotherapeutics (UK) Limited.
Research and Development Incentives
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, research and development incentives were $1.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Such research and development incentives relate to corporation tax relief on research and development projects incentive programs in the United Kingdom. The increase of $0.6 million is primarily due to an increase in qualifying research and development activities following completion of the 2024 claim.
Other Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, other income was $0.3 million and $0.02 million, respectively. This increase primarily relates to a $0.3 million gain on disposal of property plant and equipment recorded in the second quarter of 2025 following the auction of U.K. lab equipment.

Other Operating Income
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, other operating income was $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, resulting from a reduction in activity and winding down the development of VTP-500 for the prevention of MERS, and associated utilization of the funding provided by CEPI under the Funding Agreement.
Interest Income
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, interest income was $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, with the decrease resulting from both the reduction in interest rates and the reduction in cash amounts on short-term cash deposits held by Barinthus Biotherapeutics (UK) Limited.
Research and Development Incentives
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, research and development incentives were $1.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Such research and development incentives relate to corporation tax relief on research and development projects incentive programs in the United Kingdom. The increase of $0.3 million is primarily due to an increase in qualifying research and development activities following completion of the 2024 claim.
Other Income
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, other income was $0.4 million and $0.02 million. This increase primarily relates to a $0.3 million gain on disposal of property plant and equipment recorded in the second quarter of 2025 following the auction of U.K. lab equipment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through private and public placements of our ordinary and preferred shares as well as from grants and research incentives, various agreements with public funding agencies, the issuance of convertible loan notes, and most recently from upfront, royalty and milestone payments from Oxford University Innovation (“OUI”) in connection with the OUI License Agreement Amendment for Vaxzevria. Through June 30, 2025, we have received gross proceeds of approximately $330.1 million from the issuance of our ordinary and preferred shares and convertible loan notes. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $87.8 million. Key financing and corporate milestones include the following:
•Between July 2020 and November 2020, we raised gross proceeds of $41.2 million from the issuance of convertible loan notes;
•In March 2021, we raised gross proceeds of $125.2 million from the issuance of our Series B shares;
•In May 2021, we raised gross proceeds of $110.5 million from the initial public offering of our ordinary shares on Nasdaq;
•Between April 2022 and November 2024, we received $59.5 million of cash from OUI for the commercial sales of Vaxzevria;
•Between December 2022 and December 2024, we raised net proceeds of $5.1 million from the issuance of 2,558,586 shares represented by ADSs through “at-the-market” offerings under the sales agreement with Jefferies LLC.
On August 9, 2022, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended (the “Shelf”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission in relation to the registration and potential future issuance of ordinary shares, including ordinary shares represented by ADSs, debt securities, warrants and/or units of any combination thereof in the aggregate amount of up to $200.0 million. The Shelf was declared effective on August 17, 2022. We also simultaneously entered into a sales agreement with Jefferies LLC, as sales agent, providing for the offering, issuance and sale by us of up to an aggregate of $75.0 million of our ordinary shares represented by ADSs from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings under the Shelf.

Table of Contents
We do not currently expect positive cash flows from operations in the foreseeable future, if at all. In most periods, we have incurred operating losses as a result of ongoing efforts to develop our immunotherapy platforms and our product candidates, including conducting ongoing research and development, preclinical studies, clinical trials, providing general and administrative support for these operations and developing our intellectual property portfolio. We expect to continue to incur net negative cash flows from operations for at least the next few years as we progress clinical development, seek regulatory approval, prepare for and, if approved, proceed to manufacture and commercialization of our most advanced product candidates. Operating profits may arise earlier if programs are licensed or sold to third parties before final approval, but this cannot be guaranteed.
Cash Flows
The following table sets forth a summary of the primary sources and uses of cash (in thousands) for each period presented:

| Six months ended June 30, 2025 |  | Six months ended June 30, 2024
Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (33,011) |  |  | $ | (23,828) |
Net cash used in investing activities | (37) |  |  | (500) |
Net cash provided by financing activities | 2 |  |  | 861 |
Effect of exchange rates on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | 8,430 |  |  | (849) |
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | (24,616) |  |  | $ | (24,316) |

Cash Used in Operating Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $33.0 million, primarily resulting from our net loss of $40.8 million adjusted by unrealized foreign exchange loss of $4.9 million, depreciation and amortization of $4.0 million, non-cash lease expenses of $1.7 million, profit on sale of property and equipment of $0.3 million, and changes in our operating assets and liabilities, net, of $2.3 million. The changes in our operating assets and liabilities, net, of $2.3 million primarily related to a $3.6 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a $0.5 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a $1.0 million decrease in operating lease liabilities, offset by a $3.1 million decrease in research and development incentive receivables, following receipt of the 2023 research and development tax credit claim.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $23.8 million, primarily resulting from our net loss of $32.5 million adjusted by share based compensation of $2.8 million, depreciation and amortization of $2.9 million, non-cash lease expense of $0.7 million, unrealized foreign exchange gain of $0.6 million and changes in our operating assets and liabilities, net of $2.7 million primarily related to a $2.1 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, other current assets, $0.8 million increase in deferred income, and $0.8 million decrease in operation lease liabilities.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, cash used in investing activities was $0.04 million and $0.5 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, these amounts resulted primarily from capital expenditures related to lab equipment and leasehold improvements in our facilities in Germantown, Maryland, U.S.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash provided by financing activities related only to net proceeds received from the issuance of ordinary shares through stock exercises. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash provided by financing activities of $0.9 million primarily related to net proceeds received from the issuance of ordinary shares through the “at-the-market” sales agreement.
Effect of Exchange Rates on Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the effect of foreign exchange on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was a gain of $8.4 million and a loss of $0.8 million respectively, primarily as a result of a translational gain from the conversion of balances in pound sterling denominated entities to the United States dollar reporting currency.

Future Funding Requirements
To date, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, undertaking preclinical studies and conducting clinical trials of our product candidates. As a result, we have incurred losses in each year since our inception in 2016, except for 2022 when we were profitable. We have negative operating cash flows for the period ended June 30, 2025 and as of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $278.4 million. We expect to continue to incur significant losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially if, and as we:
•pursue the clinical and preclinical development of our current product candidates;
•use our technologies to advance additional product candidates into preclinical and clinical development;
•seek marketing authorizations for product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials, if any;
•attract, hire and retain additional clinical, regulatory, quality control and other personnel;
•conduct preclinical studies and clinical trials for our current and future product candidates based on our proprietary synthetic and biologic platforms, including SNAP-TI, the Chimpanzee Adenovirus Oxford (“ChAdOx”) and Modified vaccinia Ankara (“MVA”) vectors;
•expand our operational, financial and management systems and increase personnel, including personnel to support our clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and our operations as a public company;
•establish our manufacturing capabilities through third parties or by ourselves and scale-up manufacturing to provide adequate supply for clinical trials and commercialization;
•expand, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property portfolio;
•establish a sales, marketing, medical affairs and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any products for which we may obtain marketing approval and intend to commercialize on our own or through a selected partner;
•acquire or in-license other product candidates and technologies for development and commercialization; and
•incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating our business, including the additional costs associated with operating as a public company.
Even if we succeed in commercializing one or more of our product candidates, we will continue to incur substantial research and development costs and other expenditures to develop and market additional product candidates and we may never generate revenue that is significant or large enough to achieve profitability. We may also encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business. The size of our future net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of future growth of our expenses and our ability to generate revenue. Our prior losses and expected future losses have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital unless and until such losses are eliminated by revenue.
If we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Accordingly, our failure to become and remain profitable would decrease the value of our company and could impair our ability to raise capital, maintain our research and development efforts, expand our business or continue our operations. A decline in the value of our company also could cause you to lose all or part of your investment.
Since our foundation, we have invested a significant portion of our efforts and financial resources in research and development activities for our viral vector platform (ChAdOx and MVA), acquisition of additional complementary platforms such as SNAP-TI, in-house development of new technologies, and our product candidates derived from these technologies. Preclinical studies and especially clinical trials and additional research and development activities will require substantial funds to complete. We believe that we will continue to expend substantial resources for the foreseeable future in connection with the development of our current product candidates and programs as well as any future product candidates we may elect to pursue, as well as the gradual gaining of control over our required manufacturing capabilities and other corporate functions. These expenditures will include costs associated with conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals, and potentially in-house manufacturing and supply, as well as marketing and selling any products approved for sale. In addition, other unanticipated costs may arise as outlined above. Because the outcome of any preclinical study or clinical trial is uncertain and the rate of change of third-party costs is also unpredictable, we cannot reasonably estimate now the actual amounts which will be necessary to complete the development and commercialization of our current or future product candidates successfully.

Table of Contents
Our future capital requirements may depend on many factors, including:
•the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing our current and future product candidates and programs, and of conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials;
•the number and development requirements of other product candidates that we may pursue, and of other indications for our current product candidates that we may pursue;
•the stability, scale and yield of future manufacturing processes as we scale-up production and formulation of our product candidates either internally or externally for later stages of development and commercialization;
•the timing of, success achieved and the costs involved in obtaining regulatory and marketing approvals and developing our ability to establish license or sale transactions and/or sales and marketing capabilities, if any, for our current and future product candidates if clinical trials and approval processes are successful;
•the success of our collaborations with CEPI, Oxford University/OUI, Arbutus, CanSino, Cancer Research UK, and the Ludwig Institute and any future collaboration partners;
•our ability to establish, maintain or terminate collaborations, strategic licensing or other arrangements, and the financial terms of such agreements;
•the costs of future commercialization activities, including product launch, product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution, for any of our current and future product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;
•the timing, receipt and amount of commercial sales, revenues, milestones or royalties or other income from our future products, should any of our product candidates receive marketing approval; and
•the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, obtaining, maintaining, enforcing and protecting our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims including litigation costs and any damages awarded in such litigation; and
•the emergence and success or otherwise of competing autoimmune or infectious disease therapies and other market developments.
A change in the outcome of any of these or other variables with respect to the development of any of our current and future product candidates could significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate, in either direction. Furthermore, our operating plans may change in the future owing to research outcomes or other opportunities, and we may need additional funds to meet operational needs and capital requirements associated with such altered operating plans. Unless and until we can generate a substantial amount of revenue from our product candidates, we expect to finance our future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, licensing arrangements or other sources, or any combination of the foregoing.
Based on our research and development plans, we expect that our existing cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and other financial resources, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the start of 2027. These estimates are based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources more quickly than we expect.
We may require substantial additional financing in the future to meet any such unanticipated factors. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we would be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development programs, future commercialization efforts, other operational plans or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
Lease, Purchase, and Other Obligations
We have operating lease obligations related to our property, plant and equipment. The obligations related to both short- and long-term lease arrangements are set forth in Note 15 “Commitment and Contingencies” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with CROs and other third parties for clinical trials and preclinical research studies and testing. These contracts are generally cancellable by us upon prior notice. Payments due upon cancellation consist only of payments for services provided or expenses incurred, including noncancellable obligations of our service providers, up to the date of cancellation.
We have contingent payment obligations that we may incur upon achievement of clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones, as applicable, or royalty payments that we may be required to make under our licenses; however, the amount, timing and likelihood of such payments are not known as of June 30, 2025.

Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an emerging growth company under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, or the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the date of the closing of our IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our ADSs held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
Foreign Currency and Currency Translation
We are subject to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, specifically with respect to the euro, pound sterling, Swiss franc and Australian dollar. Our reporting currency is the United States dollar, and the functional currency of Barinthus Biotherapeutics plc and its consolidated subsidiaries, Barinthus Biotherapeutics (UK) Limited and Vaccitech Oncology Limited, is the pound sterling. The functional currency of our wholly owned foreign subsidiary, Barinthus Biotherapeutics North America, Inc. is the United States dollar. The functional currency of our wholly owned foreign subsidiary, Barinthus Biotherapeutics Pty Limited, is the Australian dollar. The functional currency of our wholly owned foreign subsidiary, Barinthus Biotherapeutics Switzerland GmbH, is the Swiss franc. Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of June 30, 2025 consisted primarily of cash balances held by Barinthus Biotherapeutics (UK) Limited in United States dollars.
Assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during the period. Translation adjustments are included in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Adjustments that arise from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local currency are included in operating expenses, net in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as incurred.
We incur significant operating costs in the U.K. and face exposure to changes in the exchange ratio of the United States dollar and the pound sterling arising from expenses and payables at our U.K. operations that are settled in pound sterling. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, an average 10% weakening in the United States dollar relative to the pound sterling would have resulted in a material change to our current and projected expenses denominated in pound sterling.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
We are not currently exposed significantly to market risk related to changes in interest rates, as we have no significant interest-bearing liabilities. We had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $87.8 million as of June 30, 2025, which were primarily held as account balances with banks in the United Kingdom, United States and Australia. A hypothetical 10% relative change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2025.
The term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may become subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, as of June 30, 2025, we do not believe we are party to any claim or litigation the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Other than the risks included below that have been amended and restated, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025.
Inadequate funding for the FDA, the SEC and other government agencies, including from government shutdowns, or other disruptions to these agencies’ operations, could hinder their ability to hire and retain key leadership and other personnel, prevent new products and services from being developed or commercialized in a timely manner or otherwise prevent those agencies from performing normal business functions on which the operation of our business may rely, which could negatively impact our business.
Currently, federal agencies in the U.S. are operating under a continuing resolution that is set to expire on September 30, 2025. Without appropriation of additional funding to federal agencies, our business operations related to our product development activities for the U.S. market could be impacted. The ability of the FDA to review and approve new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept the payment of user fees, and statutory, regulatory and policy changes. Average review times at the agency have fluctuated in recent years as a result. Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies may also slow the time necessary for new product candidates to be reviewed and/or approved by necessary government agencies, which would adversely affect our business. In addition, government funding of the SEC and other government agencies on which our operations may rely, including those that fund research and development activities, is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable. The Trump Administration has issued executive orders seeking to greatly reduce the size of the federal workforce, including through layoffs and severance packages offered to employees of federal agencies within the executive branch and independent agencies, including the FDA. Any such reduction in personnel may result in longer review times by the FDA and other agencies.
Disruptions and personnel turnover, as a result of leadership changes, staff reductions or otherwise, at the FDA and other agencies may also slow the time necessary for new drugs and biologics or modifications to approved drugs and biologics to be reviewed and/or approved by necessary government agencies, which would adversely affect our business. Changes and cuts in FDA staffing also could result in delays in the FDA’s responsiveness or in its ability to review IND submissions or applications, issue regulations or guidance, or implement or enforce regulatory requirements in a timely fashion or at all.
Over the last several years the U.S. government has shut down several times and certain regulatory authorities, such as the FDA and the SEC, have had to furlough critical FDA, SEC and other government employees and stop critical activities. If a prolonged government shutdown occurs, or if staffing changes prevent the FDA or other regulatory authorities from conducting their regular inspections, reviews, or other regulatory activities, including formal and informal interactions with product developers, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, future government shutdowns could impact our ability to access the public markets and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue our operations.
The U.S. Congress, the Trump administration, or any new administration may make substantial changes to fiscal, tax, and other federal policies that may adversely affect our business.
In 2017, the U.S. Congress and the Trump administration made substantial changes to U.S. policies, which included comprehensive corporate and individual tax reform. In addition, the Trump administration called for significant changes to U.S. trade, healthcare, immigration and government regulatory policy. With the transition to the Biden administration in early 2021, changes to U.S. policy occurred and since the start of the Trump Administration in 2025, U.S. policy changes have been implemented at a rapid pace and additional changes are likely. Changes to U.S. policy implemented by the U.S.

Congress, the Trump administration or any new administration have impacted and may in the future impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international trade relations, unemployment, immigration, healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. For example, the U.S. has recently imposed blanket 10% tariffs on virtually all imports to the U.S. and significantly higher tariffs applicable to imports from many countries, which have resulted in other countries imposing additional tariffs on imports from the U.S., and is likely to continue to result in more retaliatory tariffs. On April 9, 2025, the U.S. announced a temporary pause on its tariffs applicable to many countries, while increasing the tariffs applicable to imports from China. The new U.S. administration has threatened to continue to broadly impose tariffs, which could lead to corresponding punitive actions by the countries with which the U.S. trades. While certain tariffs have been suspended, modified or temporarily reduced, we cannot predict the results of the U.S. government’s trade negotiations or the outcome of ongoing legal challenges to specific tariff policies. Although we cannot predict the impact, if any, of these changes to our business, they could adversely affect our business. Until we know what policy changes are made, whether those policy changes are challenged and subsequently upheld by the court system and how those changes impact our business and the business of our competitors over the long term, we will not know if, overall, we will benefit from them or be negatively affected by them.
Healthcare legislative or regulatory reform measures may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
The United States and many foreign jurisdictions have enacted or proposed legislative and regulatory changes affecting the healthcare system that could prevent or delay marketing approval of our product candidates or any future product candidates, restrict or regulate post-approval activities and affect our ability to profitably sell a product for which we obtain marketing approval. Changes in applicable laws, rules, and regulations or the interpretation of existing laws, rules, and regulations could impact our business in the future by requiring, for example: (i) changes to our manufacturing arrangements; (ii) additions or modifications to product labeling; (iii) the recall or discontinuation of our products; or (iv) additional record-keeping requirements. If any such changes were to be imposed, they could adversely affect the operation of our business. See the section entitled “Business – Government Regulation – Healthcare Reform and Legislative Changes.”
On April 15, 2025, the Trump Administration published Executive Order 14273, “Lowering Drug Prices by Once Again Putting Americans First,” which generally directs the federal government to take measures to reduce drug prices. On May 12, 2025, the Trump Administration published Executive Order 14297, “Delivering Most-Favored-Nation Prescription Drug Pricing to American Patients” which generally, among other things, directs the federal government to establish and communicate most-favored-nation price targets to pharmaceutical manufacturers to bring prices for American patients in line with comparably developed nations. Further, the Executive Order directs the federal government to support regulatory paths to allow direct-to-patient sales for companies that meet these targets. It also states that the Administration will take additional aggressive action (for example, examining whether marketing approvals should be modified or rescinded or opening the door for individual drug importation waivers) should manufacturers fail to offer American consumers the most-favored-nation lowest price. It also directs the Secretary of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative to “take all necessary and appropriate action to ensure foreign countries are not engaged in any act, policy, or practice that may be unreasonable or discriminatory or that may impair United States national security . . . including by suppressing the price of pharmaceutical products below fair market value in foreign countries.” Notably, a similar “Most Favored Nation” pricing rule enacted under the first Trump Administration was subject to an injunction resulting from judicial challenges to the rule, which was formally rescinded by the former Biden Administration in August 2021.
In addition, at the state level, legislatures have increasingly passed legislation and implemented regulations similar to those under consideration at the federal level, as well as laws designed to control pharmaceutical and biotherapeutic product pricing, including restrictions on pricing or reimbursement at the state government level, limitations on discounts to patients, marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, restrictions or other limitations on patient assistance, and, in some cases, policies to encourage importation from other countries (subject to federal approval) and bulk purchasing. Certain states are also pursuing cost containment efforts through Prescription Drug Affordability Boards (“PDABs”) and similar entities.
We expect that these and other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future may result in more rigorous coverage criteria and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product candidate. Any reduction in reimbursement from Medicare or other government programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. We cannot predict the reform initiatives that may be adopted in the future or whether initiatives that have been adopted will be modified or invalidated. The implementation of cost containment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability, or commercialize our drugs, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Shareholder protections found in provisions under the U.K. City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Takeover Code"), will not apply if our place of central management and control is considered to be outside of the U.K. (or the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man).
We believe that our place of central management and control is not in the United Kingdom (or the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man) for the purposes of the jurisdictional criteria of the Takeover Code. Accordingly, we believe that we are not currently subject to the Takeover Code and, as a result, our shareholders are not currently entitled to the benefit of certain takeover offer protections provided under the Takeover Code, including the rules regarding mandatory takeover bids.
In the event that this changes, or if the interpretation and application of the Takeover Code by the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers, (the "Takeover Panel"), changes (including changes to the way in which the Takeover Panel assesses the application of the Takeover Code to English companies whose shares are listed outside of the United Kingdom), the Takeover Code may apply to us in the future.
The Takeover Panel has confirmed that, from February 3, 2027, the location of the Company’s place of central management and control will no longer be relevant in determining whether the Takeover Code applies to the Company. From February 3, 2027, the Takeover Code will only apply to the Company in the event that our securities are quoted on a UK regulated market (or UK multilateral trading facility or certain exchanges in the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man).
The Takeover Code provides a framework within which takeovers of companies which are subject to the Takeover Code are regulated and conducted. The following is a brief summary of some of the most important rules of the Takeover Code:
•in connection with a potential offer, if following an approach by or on behalf of a potential bidder, the company is “the subject of rumor or speculation” or there is an “untoward movement” in the company’s share price, there is a requirement for the potential bidder to make a public announcement about a potential offer for the company, or for the company to make a public announcement about its review of a potential offer;
•when any person acquires, whether by a series of transactions over a period of time or not, an interest in shares which (taken together with shares already held by that person and an interest in shares held or acquired by persons acting in concert with him or her) carry 30% or more of the voting rights of a company that is subject to the Takeover Code, that person is generally required to make a mandatory offer to all the holders of any class of equity share capital or other class of transferable securities carrying voting rights in that company to acquire the balance of their interests in the company;
•when any person who, together with persons acting in concert with him or her, is interested in shares representing not less than 30% but does not hold more than 50% of the voting rights of a company that is subject to the Takeover Code, and such person, or any person acting in concert with him or her, acquires an additional interest in shares which increases the percentage of shares carrying voting rights in which he or she is interested, then such person is generally required to make a mandatory offer to all the holders of any class of equity share capital or other class of transferable securities carrying voting rights of that company to acquire the balance of their interests in the company;
•a mandatory offer triggered in the circumstances described in the two paragraphs above must be in cash (or be accompanied by a cash alternative) and at not less than the highest price paid within the preceding 12 months to acquire any interest in shares in the company by the person required to make the offer or any person acting in concert with him or her;
•in relation to a voluntary offer (i.e., any offer which is not a mandatory offer), when interests in shares representing 10% or more of the voting rights of a class have been acquired for cash by an offeror (i.e., a bidder) and any person acting in concert with it in the offer period and the previous 12 months, the offer must be in cash or include a cash alternative for all shareholders of that class at not less than the highest price paid for any interest in shares of that class by the offeror and by any person acting in concert with it in that period. Further, if an offeror acquires for cash any interest in shares during the offer period, a cash alternative must be made available at not less than the highest price paid for any interest in the shares of that class;

•if, after making an offer for a company, the offeror or any person acting in concert with them acquires an interest in shares in an offeree company (i.e., a target) at a price higher than the value of the offer, the offer must be increased to not less than the highest price paid for the interest in shares so acquired;
•an offeree company must appoint a competent independent adviser whose advice on the financial terms of the offer must be made known to all the shareholders, together with the opinion of the board of directors of the offeree company;
•special or favorable deals for selected shareholders are not permitted, except in certain circumstances where independent shareholder approval is given and the arrangements are regarded as fair and reasonable in the opinion of the financial adviser to the offeree;
•all shareholders must be given the same information;
•each document published in connection with an offer by or on behalf of the offeror or offeree must state that the directors of the offeror or the offeree, as the case may be, accept responsibility for the information contained therein;
•profit forecasts, quantified financial benefits statements and asset valuations must be made to specified standards and must be reported on by professional advisers;
•misleading, inaccurate or unsubstantiated statements made in documents or to the media must be publicly corrected immediately;
•actions during the course of an offer by the offeree company, which might frustrate the offer are generally prohibited unless shareholders approve these plans. Frustrating actions would include, for example, lengthening the notice period for directors under their service contract or agreeing to sell off material parts of the target group;
•stringent and detailed requirements are laid down for the disclosure of dealings in relevant securities during an offer, including the prompt disclosure of positions and dealing in relevant securities by the parties to an offer and any person who is interested (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any class of relevant securities; and
•employees of both the offeror and the offeree company and the trustees of the offeree company’s pension scheme must be informed about an offer. In addition, the offeree company’s employee representatives and pension scheme trustees have the right to have a separate opinion on the effects of the offer on employment appended to the offeree board of directors’ circular or published on a website.
Changes in U.S. tax law could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The rules dealing with U.S. federal, state, and local income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury Department. For example, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was signed into law on July 4, 2025 and made significant changes to U.S. federal tax law. Changes to tax laws (which changes may have retroactive application) could adversely affect us or holders of our ordinary shares or ADSs. For example, under Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the IRC, in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2021, expenses that are incurred for research and development performed outside the U.S. will be capitalized and amortized, which may have an adverse effect on our cash flow. The OBBBA provides that for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024, expenses that are incurred for research and development performed in the U.S. may, at the taxpayer’s election, be immediately deducted or capitalized and amortized. In addition, the OBBBA provides that for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2021 and before January 1, 2025, certain eligible taxpayers generally may elect to retroactively deduct expenses for research and development performed in the U.S. in such taxable years by filing amended tax returns for such taxable years, and all other taxpayers that are not eligible to make such an election and that amortized expenses for research and development performed in the U.S. in such taxable years generally may elect to accelerate and deduct the remaining unamortized amounts of such research and development expenses (i) in the first taxable year beginning after December 31, 2024, or (ii) ratably over the two-taxable year period beginning with the first taxable year beginning after December 31, 2024. In recent years, many such changes have been made and changes are likely to continue to occur in the future. Future changes in U.S. tax laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, financial condition or results of operations. We urge investors to consult with their legal and tax advisors regarding the implications of potential changes in U.S. tax laws on an investment in our ordinary shares or ADSs.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Set forth below is information regarding shares of equity securities sold, and options granted, by us during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 that were not registered under the Securities Act.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities
None.
Use of Proceeds from Initial Public Offering
On May 4, 2021, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) of 6,500,000 ADSs at a price of $17.00 per ADS for an aggregate offering price of approximately $110.5 million. Morgan Stanley & Co., Jefferies LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., William Blair & Company, L.L.C. and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC served as the underwriters of the IPO. The offer and sale of all of the ADSs in the offering were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-255158), which became effective on April 29, 2021.
We received aggregate net proceeds from the offering of approximately $102.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, as well as other offering expenses. No offering expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors or officers (or their associates) or persons owning ten percent or more of any class of our equity securities or to any other affiliates.
Our planned use of the net proceeds from the IPO as described in the final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act has changed due to the prioritization of our pipeline in connection with our restructuring plan. As a result, we currently expect to use our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, which include the net proceeds from the IPO, to advance our immune tolerance research and development programs and for general corporate purposes.
Purchase of Equity Securities
None.
