CAUTIONARY NOTICE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This Report contains a number of forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that reflect management’s current views and expectations with respect to our business, strategies, products, future results and events, and financial performance. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy, product candidates, planned preclinical studies and clinical trials, research and development costs, regulatory approvals, timing and likelihood of success, as well as plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “objective,” “plan,” “potential,” “seek,” “grow,” “target,” “if,” variations of such words, the negative of these terms and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those which we discuss under “Risk Factors,” elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are based on management’s current expectations and projections about future events, are not guarantees of future performance, are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and apply only as of the date of this Report. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from historical results as well as from the results expressed in, anticipated or implied by these forward-looking statements. An occurrence of, or any material adverse change in, one or more of the risk factors or risks and uncertainties referred to in this Report or included in our other public disclosures or our other periodic reports or other documents or filings filed with or furnished to the SEC could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Any public statements or disclosures by us following this Report that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in this Report will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this Report.

For a discussion of some of the factors that may affect our business, results and prospects, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 23, 2026 and in the other reports we file with the SEC, including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this Report and in our other reports we file with the SEC, including our Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and those described from time to time in our press releases and other communications, which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, prospects and results of operations.

Unless the context indicates or otherwise requires, “the Company,” “our Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to MAIA Biotechnology, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

MAIA Biotechnology, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business, Organization, and Principles of Consolidation

MAIA Biotechnology, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “the Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company that develops oncology drug candidates to improve and extend the lives of people with cancer. MAIA Biotechnology, Inc. (“MAIA”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 3, 2018. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MAIA and its subsidiaries, as follows:

| ● | In July 2021, the Company established a wholly owned Australian subsidiary, MAIA Biotechnology Australia Pty Ltd., to conduct various pre-clinical and clinical activities for the development of the Company’s product candidates.
| ● | In April 2022, the Company established a wholly owned Romanian subsidiary, MAIA Biotechnology Romania S.R.L., to conduct various pre-clinical and clinical activities for the development of the Company’s product candidates.

Liquidity

At June 30, 2026, the Company had working capital of $21,979,479, an accumulated deficit of $123,944,244, cash of $27,595,831 and current liabilities of $6,257,892. Since its inception the Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations each fiscal year. The Company has no revenue and expects to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. The Company is dependent on its ability to continue to raise equity and/or debt financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation Principles

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated financial statements may not include all disclosures required by GAAP; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 23, 2026. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, was derived from such audited financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. All transactions and accounts between and among its subsidiaries have been eliminated. All adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included.

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company and the Company’s CODM, the Chief Executive Officer, view the Company’s operations and manage its business as a single operating segment, which is the business of discovering and developing products for the treatment of immunotherapies for cancer. Management has determined that the Company operates in one segment, given the common nature of its operations. For additional information, see Note 8 - Segment Information.

8

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates in the Company’s financial statements relate to the valuation of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), stock options and warrants, the embedded features in convertible notes, and accruals for outsourced research and development activities. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations will be affected.

Certain Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the risk of failure to secure additional funding to properly execute the Company’s business plan. The Company is subject to risks that are common to companies in the pharmaceutical industry, including, but not limited to, the development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, reliance on third party manufacturers, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, where the local currency is the functional currency, are translated using exchange rates in effect as of the applicable balance sheet dates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during the period for results of operations. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustment is included in stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company has no significant off-balance sheet risks, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts, or other foreign hedging arrangements. Cash accounts are maintained at financial institutions that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, substantially all of the Company’s cash was deposited in accounts at two financial institutions. The Company maintains its cash deposits, which at times may exceed the federally insured limits, with a reputable financial institution, and accordingly, the Company believes such funds are subject to minimal credit risk.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company is required to disclose information on all assets and liabilities reported at fair value that enables an assessment of the inputs used in determining the reported fair values. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) establishes a hierarchy of inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the observable inputs be used when available.

Under this accounting guidance, fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:

| ● | Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

9

| ● | Level 2 - Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
| ● | Level 3 - Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

Fair value measurements discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025 and as of December 31, 2025. The carrying amount of accounts payable approximated fair value, as they are short term in nature. The fair value of warrants issued for services is estimated based on the Black-Scholes-Merton model during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. The estimated fair value of warrants issued to underwriters represented Level 3 measurements.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of costs for corporate functions, including payroll and related expenses, rent, outside legal expenses, insurance costs, and other general and administrative costs.

Research and Development

The Company’s research and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the Company’s clinical trials, salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, and stock-based compensation charges for those individuals involved in ongoing research and development efforts. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity has been performed or when the goods have been received.

As part of the process of preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its accrued expenses. This process involves reviewing quotations and contracts, identifying services that have been performed on the Company’s behalf and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for the service when the Company has not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of the actual cost. The majority of the Company’s service providers invoice the Company monthly in arrears for services performed or when contractual milestones are met. The Company makes estimates of its accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date in our condensed consolidated financial statements based on facts and circumstances known to the Company at that time. The Company periodically confirms the accuracy of its estimates with the service providers and makes adjustments if necessary. The estimates in the Company’s accrued research and development expenses are related to expenses incurred with respect to contract research organizations (“CROs”), contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”), and other vendors in connection with research and development and manufacturing activities.

The Company bases its expense related to CROs and CMOs on its estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to quotations and contracts with such vendors that conduct research and development and manufacturing activities on the Company’s behalf. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation, vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. There may be instances in which payments made to the Company’s vendors will exceed the level of services provided and result in a prepayment of the applicable research and development or manufacturing expense. In accruing service fees, the Company estimates the time period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from its estimate, the Company adjusts the accrual or prepaid expense accordingly. Although the Company does not expect its estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, the Company’s understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and could result in us reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period. There have been no material changes in estimates for the periods presented.

Research and Development Incentive

The Company recognizes other income from Australian research and development incentives when there is reasonable assurance that the income will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred, and the consideration can be reliably measured. The research and development incentive is one of the key elements of the Australian government’s support for Australia’s innovation system and is supported by legislative law primarily in the form of the Australian Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, as long as eligibility criteria are met. Under the program, a percentage of eligible research and development expenses incurred by the Company through its subsidiary in Australia are reimbursed.

10

Management has assessed the Company’s research and development activities and expenditures to determine which activities and expenditures are likely to be eligible under the research and development incentive regime described above. At each period end, management estimates the refundable tax offset available to the Company based on available information at the time

National Institute of Health (NIH) Grant

The Company entered into an agreement with the National Cancer Institute for SBIR grant. Under the terms of the agreement, the National Cancer Institute has committed to reimburse the Company up to $2,297,863 of qualifying research and development expenses over the term of the grant. The Company’s ability to receive these funds is contingent upon incurring eligible costs and achieving certain performance objectives.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.

Embedded derivatives must be separately measured from the host contract if all the requirements for bifurcation are met. The assessment of the conditions surrounding the bifurcation of embedded derivatives depends on the nature of the host contract. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations each period.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records share-based compensation for awards granted to employees, non-employees, and to members of the board of directors based on the grant date fair value of awards issued, and the expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and warrants. The use of the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the Common Stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the Common Stock. The Company has concluded that its historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. Therefore, the expected term was determined according to the simplified method, which is the average of the vesting tranche dates and the contractual term. Due to the lack of company specific historical and implied volatility data, the estimate of expected volatility is primarily based on the historical volatility of a group of similar companies that are publicly traded. For these analyses, companies with comparable characteristics, including enterprise value and position within the industry, and with historical share price information sufficient to meet the expected life of the share-based awards, are selected. The Company computes the historical volatility data using the daily closing prices for the selected companies’ shares during the equivalent period of the calculated expected term of its share-based awards. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining maturities similar to the expected term of the options. The Company has not paid, and does not anticipate paying, cash dividends on shares of its Common Stock.

All stock-based compensation costs are recorded in general and administrative or research and development costs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations based upon the underlying individual’s role at the Company.

Common Stock Warrants

The Company accounts for Common Stock warrants as either equity instruments or as liabilities in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement.

When warrants are issued for services provided by non-employees, under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), the warrants shall be classified as a liability if: (i) the underlying shares are classified as liabilities; or (ii) the entity can be required under any circumstances to settle the warrant by transferring cash or other assets. The measurement of equity-classified non-employee share-based payments is generally fixed on the grant date and are considered compensatory, as defined by ASC 718.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which provides for deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, if based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit would more likely than not be realized, assuming examination by the taxing authority. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. The Company recognizes any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.

In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law 119-21) was enacted. The Company recognized the income tax effects of the legislation in the period of enactment in accordance with ASC 740. The legislation did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the legislation on future periods.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share of Common Stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of Common Stock equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury-stock method. Diluted loss per share excludes, when applicable, the potential impact of stock options, unvested shares of restricted stock awards, and common stock warrants because their effect would be anti-dilutive due to our net loss. Gains on warrant liabilities are only considered dilutive when the average market price of the Common Stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the warrants. Since the Company had a net loss in each of the periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same.

The following table summarizes the Company’s potentially dilutive securities, in common share equivalents, which have been excluded from the calculation of dilutive loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

SCHEDULE OF ANTIDILUTIVE SHARES EXCLUDED FROM CALCULATION OF DILUTIVE LOSS PER SHARE

|  | 2026 |  |  | 2025 |
|  | Six Months Ended June 30, |
|  | 2026 |  |  | 2025 |
Shares issuable upon exercise of stock options |  |  | 16,680,425 |  |  |  | 11,952,412 |
Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants |  |  | 13,086,220 |  |  |  | 10,143,192 |

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, as amended, Leases (“Topic 842”), which applies to all leases. Under Topic 842, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation will be recorded for all leases, whether operating or financing leases, while the statement of operations will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization and interest expense for financing leases. At the inception of an arrangement the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the circumstances present. All leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as right-of-use assets, lease liabilities and, if applicable, long-term lease liabilities. The Company has elected not to recognize on the consolidated balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less. Lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes the appropriate incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received. At the inception of an arrangement the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the circumstances present. Currently none of the Company’s operating lease commitments are subject to the standard as its leases are short-term in nature (i.e., less than twelve months).

Recent Accounting Standards

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires detailed disclosure of significant expense components and additional clarity when expenses are classified by function. ASU No. 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and allows for adoption on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the amendments in this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which requires recognizing grants when compliance with conditions is probable. ASU 2025-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028 and allows for adoption on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected earlier adoption, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 9 – Government Grants.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

The warrants are exercisable six months following issuance and will have a term of five years from the initial exercise date. The warrants contain customary anti-dilution adjustments to the exercise price, including for share splits, share dividends, rights offerings and pro rata distributions. The warrants were not indexed to the Company’s own stock and therefore met the definition of a derivative liability. The warrants were liability classified instruments and were initially recorded at a value of $1,903,915, which was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton method using a term of 5.38 years, risk free interest rate of 3.85% and volatility of 90.0%.

These representative’s warrants were exercisable beginning November 15, 2023, and expire on November 15, 2028, pursuant to their terms and conditions. The representative’s warrants are not indexed to the Company’s own stock and therefore meet the definition of a derivative liability. The representative’s warrants are liability classified instruments and were initially recorded at a value of $123,811, which was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton method using a term of 4.88 years, risk free interest rate of 3.84% and volatility of 90.0%.

The warrants are exercisable beginning on September 28, 2024, and expire on September 28, 2029. The warrants were not indexed to the Company’s own stock and therefore meet the definition of a derivative liability. The warrants were liability classified instruments when issued and were initially recorded at a value of $1,190,111, which was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton method using a term of 5.5 years, risk free interest rate of 4.20% and volatility of 95.0 In May 2024, the Company amended the warrant agreements related to 437,031 warrants to adjust them to be indexed to the Company’s own stock, and they were therefore reclassed to equity classified instruments in a non-cash transaction. When the warrants agreements were amended, the Company remeasured the warrant liability resulting in a final warrant value of $1,011,562. The warrant liability for these 437,031 warrants was removed and equity was increased by $1,011,562 to account for the equity classification. The remaining 141,612 warrants remain liability classified instruments.

Concurrently with the closing of the Company’s private placement offering on February 24, 2025, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,810,000 shares of its Common Stock to the investors in the private placement at an exercise price of $1.87 per share. The warrants are exercisable beginning on February 24, 2026, and expire on February 24, 2031. The warrants issued were divided into two groups: warrants issued to directors and warrants issued to affiliated and non-affiliated investors. The warrants to purchase 123,333 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued to directors were deemed options issued under the MAIA 2021 Plan and are equity classified instruments and the value of these warrants determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton method was $176,680 using a term of 6 years, risk free interest rate of 4.23% and volatility of 95%. The warrants to purchase 1,686,667 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued to affiliated and non-affiliated investors are indexed to the Company’s own stock and they were therefore equity classified instruments and the value of these warrants determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton method was $2,416,223 using a term of 6 years, risk free interest rate of 4.23% and volatility of 95%. The total fair value ascribed to the warrants combined with the fair value of the common stock issued in the private placement was then used for purposes of allocation of the equity classified warrant value within the condensed consolidated statements of changes in the stockholders’ equity.

Concurrently with the closing of the Company’s private placement offering on March 3, 2025, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 952,633 shares of its Common Stock to the investors in the private placement at an exercise price of $1.85 per share. The warrants are exercisable beginning on March 3, 2026, and expire on March 3, 2031. The warrants issued were divided into two groups: warrants issued to directors and warrants issued to non-affiliated investors. The warrants to purchase 58,333 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued to directors were deemed options issued under the MAIA 2021 Plan and are equity classified instruments and the value of these warrants determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton method was $80,894 using a term of 6 years, risk free interest rate of 3.97% and volatility of 95%. The warrants to purchase 894,300 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued to non-affiliated investors are indexed to the Company’s own stock and they were therefore equity classified instruments and the value of these warrants determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton method was $1,240,185 using a term of 6 years, risk free interest rate of 3.97% and volatility of 95%. The total fair value ascribed to the warrants combined with the fair value of the common stock issued in the private placement was then used for purposes of allocation of the equity classified warrant value within the condensed consolidated statements of changes in the stockholders’ equity.

Concurrently with the closing of the Company’s private placement offering on May 8, 2025, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 719,999 shares of its Common Stock to the investors in the private placement at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The warrants are exercisable beginning on May 8, 2026, and expire on May 8, 2031. The warrants issued were divided into two groups: warrants issued to directors and warrants issued to non-affiliated investors. The warrants to purchase 86,666 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued to directors were deemed options issued under the MAIA 2021 Plan and are equity classified instruments and the value of these warrants determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton method was $133,131 using a term of 6 years, risk free interest rate of 4.09% and volatility of 95%. The warrants to purchase 633,333 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued to non-affiliated investors are indexed to the Company’s own stock and they were therefore equity classified instruments and the value of these warrants determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton method was $972,890 using a term of 6 years, risk free interest rate of 4.09% and volatility of 95%. The total fair value ascribed to the warrants combined with the fair value of the common stock issued in the private placement was then used for purposes of allocation of the equity classified warrant value within the condensed consolidated statements of changes in the stockholders’ equity.

Concurrently with the closing of the Company’s private placement offering on June 3, 2025, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 463,332 shares of its Common Stock to the investors in the private placement at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The warrants are exercisable beginning on December 3, 2025, and expire on June 3, 2030. The warrants issued were divided into two groups: warrants issued to directors and warrants issued to non-affiliated investors. The warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued to directors were deemed options issued under the MAIA 2021 Plan and are equity classified instruments and the value of these warrants determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton method was $43,358 using a term of 5 years, risk free interest rate of 4.04% and volatility of 95%. The warrants to purchase 429,999 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued to non-affiliated investors are indexed to the Company’s own stock and they were therefore equity classified instruments and the value of these warrants determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton method was $559,324 using a term of 5 years, risk free interest rate of 4.04% and volatility of 95%. The total fair value ascribed to the warrants combined with the fair value of the common stock issued in the private placement was then used for purposes of allocation of the equity classified warrant value within the condensed consolidated statements of changes in the stockholders’ equity.

On June 17, 2025, the Company executed a Warrant Inducement Offer to select warrant holders allowing them to exercise their warrants held at a reduction of the exercise price for cash. The warrant’s exercise price was reduced to $1.50 per share. Certain warrant holders accepted the offer and warrants were exercised, resulting in the issuance of 219,283 shares of MAIA Common Stock for proceeds of approximately $328,924. The fair value of the modified warrants was greater than the fair value of the original warrants at the modification date by $105,154; therefore, the incremental cost was recognized as an increase to additional paid in capital and a decrease to warrant additional paid in capital, there was no net equity difference.

MAIA Biotechnology, Inc. Stock Option and Equity Incentive Plans

In 2018, the Company adopted the MAIA Biotechnology, Inc. 2018 Stock Option Plan (the “MAIA 2018 Plan”). MAIAs board of directors administers the MAIA 2018 Plan for the purposes of attracting, retaining, and motivating key employees, directors, and consultants of MAIA. The terms of the MAIA 2018 Plan continue to govern the 1,752,945 options outstanding under the plan as of June 30, 2026.

In 2020, the Company adopted the MAIA Biotechnology, Inc. Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “MAIA 2020 Plan”), also administered by the board of directors. The MAIA 2020 Plan permitted awards to take the form of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The terms of the MAIA 2020 Plan continue to govern the 3,503,589 options outstanding in the plan as of June 30, 2026. There are no shares reserved for future issuance under the MAIA 2018 Plan or the MAIA 2020 Plan.

On August 1, 2022 the Company approved the MAIA 2021 Plan with 1,909,518 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance. On May 25, 2023 the MAIA 2021 Plan was amended to include an automatic increase to the plan in the amount equal to 10% of the total number of shares of stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis on December 31 of the preceding calendar year (the “Increase Date”); provided that, the board of directors may act prior to any Increase Date to provide that there will be no increase for such year or that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of stock. The amount reserved for issuance under the MAIA 2021 Plan increased by 1,956,993 based on the fully diluted shares outstanding as of December 31, 2022. The amount reserved for issuance under the MAIA 2021 Plan increased by 2,838,668 shares on January 1, 2024 based on the fully diluted shares outstanding as of December 31, 2023. The amount reserved for issuance under the MAIA 2021 Plan increased by (i) 2,250,000 shares on January 1, 2025 based on the fully diluted shares outstanding as of December 31, 2024 (and the discretion of the Company’s board of directors to authorize less than 10% of such amount) and (ii) 6,458,889 shares on January 1, 2026, based on the fully diluted shares outstanding as of December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, there are 3,066,519 shares of Common Stock available for future issuance under the MAIA 2021 Plan and 11,423,891 options are outstanding under the MAIA 2021 Plan.

Stock options are to be granted with an exercise price which is at least equal to the stock’s estimated fair value at the date of grant, and with a contractual term of no more than ten years from the date of grant. In the case of an option granted to a 10% stockholder, the exercise price shall be generally no less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant, and the contractual term shall be seven years. Outstanding options awarded under the MAIA 2021 Plan may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The option may be subject to other terms and conditions as to the time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the board of directors may deem appropriate. Unexercised options are cancelled ninety days after termination of an employee, director, founder, or consultant. Unexercised options are cancelled immediately if an employee, director, founder, or consultant is terminated for cause; under certain other circumstances, the period to cancellation may differ as described in the respective plan documents. Certain clauses in the Plans also govern the Company’s exercise repurchase rights and various other features of awards granted under the plans.

19

As of June 30, 2026, only stock options have been awarded pursuant to the MAIA stock option and equity incentive plans.

The following table summarizes the activity and information regarding MAIA’s outstanding and exercisable options for the six months ended June 30, 2026:

The value of option grants is calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following assumptions for options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

SCHEDULE OF SHARE-BASED PAYMENT AWARD, STOCK OPTIONS, VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

|  | 2026 |  |  | 2025 |

The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options issued during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $1.00 and $2.25, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, the total unrecognized compensation related to unvested employee and non-employee stock option awards granted was $5,887,064, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of approximately 1.65 years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted performance-based stock options to a strategic advisor under the MAIA 2021 Plan. The grant consists of 400,000 stock options, which represent the right to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.49 upon the achievement of specific performance milestones.

The stock options are divided into two tranches, each subject to the following performance conditions:

| ● | Tranche 1: 100,000 stock options will be vested upon completion of a new or modification of an existing supply and non-exclusive license agreement.
| ● | Tranche 2: 300,000 stock options will be vested upon the completion of any contractual agreement in which a third party gains license rights to the Company’s patents or intellectual property or will be vested upon the completion of a transaction in which the Company raises more than $10 million from an investor or group of investors in exchange for a royalty or equity representing more than 5% of the Company’s fully diluted shares outstanding.

The Company estimates the fair value of these awards on the date of grant. For the performance-based milestones, expense is recognized over the requisite service period only when it is deemed probable that the performance conditions will be met. As of June 30, 2026, the Company determined that the achievement of Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 milestones were not probable. Consequently, the Company did not recognize any stock-based compensation expense within General and Administrative expenses for the period.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal actions and claims arising in the normal course of business. Management believes there are no matters which will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.

Patent Licensing, Sponsored Research, and Patent & Technology Agreements

Ateganosine (THIO)

In November 2018 and as amended in December 2020, the Company entered into a Global Patent Licensing Agreement titled “Patent and Technology License Agreement AGT. NO. L2264 – MAIA Biotechnology” with the University of Texas Southwestern (“UTSW”) to license patent families for a specific compound (“THIO”) from UTSW to MAIA (the “UTSW Agreement”). The UTSW Agreement, as amended, has a term of 20 years. The agreement requires MAIA to reimburse UTSW for agreed-upon expenses related to THIO. The UTSW Agreement requires certain payments upon assignment of the license to a third party as well as upon reaching specific milestones, ranging between $1,000,000 and $50,000,000, not to exceed a combined milestone payment total of $112,000,000. As of June 30, 2026, no assignment has occurred and none of the defined milestones have been completed and therefore no payments are due to UTSW related to the milestones. The UTSW Agreement requires MAIA to make royalty payments of: (i) 2-4% (depending on THIO reaching specified sales levels in the respective jurisdictions) on net sales up to $1,000,000,000; and (ii) 2.5-5% on net sales above $1,000,000,000.

Also in December 2020, the Company entered into a second license agreement with UTSW titled “Patent and Technology License Agreement AGT. NO. L3648 — MAIA Biotechnology” pursuant to which UTSW is licensing an additional compound to MAIA (the “UTSW2 Agreement”). The UTSW2 Agreement has a term of 20 years and requires the Company to reimburse UTSW for certain agreed-upon expenses. The UTSW2 Agreement requires certain payments upon assignment of the license to a third party as well as upon reaching specific milestones, ranging between $1,000,000 and $50,000,000, not to exceed a combined milestone payment total of $112,000,000. As of June 30, 2026, no assignment has occurred and none of the defined milestones have been completed and therefore no payments are due to UTSW related to the milestones. The UTSW2 Agreement requires MAIA to make royalty payments of: (i) 2-4% (depending on THIO reaching specified sales levels in the respective jurisdictions) on net sales up to $1,000,000,000; (ii) and 2.5-5% on net sales above $1,000,000,000.

The Company will also pay UTSW running royalties on a yearly basis as a percentage of Net Sales (as defined in the UTSW2 Agreement) of the Company or its sublicensee. There are single digit royalty rates for licensed products and licensed services covered by a Valid Claim (as defined in the UTSW2 Agreement) and dependent on whether Net Sales are greater than or less than/equal to $1,000,000,000, with Net Sales above that amount commanding a slightly higher percentage. In each case, the royalty percentage is lower before patent issuance in each jurisdiction. In the event that the licensed product or licensed service is not covered by a Valid Claim, the running royalty rates are reduced by 50%. The royalty obligations continue on a country-by-country basis until the later of expiration of the last Valid Claim in each country or 10 years after the First Commercial Sale (as defined in UTSW2 Agreement) in each country.

Regeneron

In February 2021, the Company entered into a Drug Supply Agreement (the “Drug Supply Agreement”) with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Regeneron”) to perform one clinical trial for the treatment of patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) involving a Regeneron drug candidate that utilizes one of the Company’s compounds/agents. The Company is responsible for all costs of the study with Regeneron supplying their drug cemiplimab representing a cost savings for the Company, the first phase of which is expected to take approximately two years. The overall term of the agreement is for five years unless earlier terminated for certain reasons as defined in the agreement. Either party may terminate a study plan in the event that patient screening for the clinical study does not commence within 12 months after: (i) the Effective Date (as defined in the Drug Supply Agreement), with respect to the initial study; or (ii) the execution of the applicable study plan, with respect to each other study. If either party terminates a study plan, the Company shall reimburse Regeneron for the Regeneron product it received in connection with such study plan based on the actual out-of-pocket cost to Regeneron of such Regeneron product. As of June 30, 2026, neither party has terminated the agreement.

21

BeOne

In December 2024, the Company reached an agreement with BeOne Medicines, Ltd., (“BeOne”) to perform certain clinical trials for the treatment of patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), liver cancer (HCC), and colorectal cancer (CRC) involving a BeOne drug candidate that utilizes one of the Company’s compounds/agents. The Company is responsible for all costs of the study with BeOne supplying their drug tislelizumab representing a cost savings for the Company. The overall term of the agreement is for seven years unless earlier terminated for certain reasons as defined in the agreement. As of June 30, 2026, neither party has terminated the agreement.

Roche

In June 2025, the Company reached an agreement with F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd, (“Roche”) to perform certain clinical trials for the treatment of patients with hard-to-treat cancers involving Roche’s checkpoint inhibitor, atezolizumab (Tecentriq®). The Company is responsible for all costs of the study with Roche supplying their drug atezolizumab representing a cost savings for the Company. The overall term of the agreement is for five years unless earlier terminated for certain reasons as defined in the agreement. As of June 30, 2026, neither party has terminated the agreement.

7. INCOME TAXES

The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The issuance of shares in connection with the Company’s IPO, as well as prior share issuances, may result in limitations on the utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards under IRC section 382. As of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

No provision or benefit for U.S. federal, state, Australian or Romanian income taxes has been recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, mainly due to net losses incurred by the Company, and a full valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets.

8. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in one reportable segment. This determination is based on the Company’s structure, the manner in which the CODM reviews the operating results to assess performance and allocate resources, and the nature of the Company’s operations. Segment assets are reported as total assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The CODM, who is the Chief Executive Officer, regularly reviews consolidated financial information, such as consolidated net loss. The CODM’s review is for the purpose of assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. See our consolidated financial statements in Part I, “Item 1, Financial Statements”, and Note 1, “Description of Business, Organization, and Principles of Consolidation” for additional information about these line items and the related accounting policies.

9. GOVERNMENT GRANTS

The Company receives research grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support specific primary research and clinical development projects. In accordance with ASU 2025-10, the Company accounts for these as government grants and has elected the income-related approach. Grant proceeds are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and the grant will be received. The Company has elected to present these grant proceeds as a component of Other income, net, rather than as a reduction of the related Research and Development (R&D) expenses.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company operated under one active NIH Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards (Award #1R44CA309843-01). These grants are cost-reimbursable, meaning the Company is entitled to payment only after incurring allowable costs as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has recognized a receivable of approximately $0.05 million for qualified R&D expenditures that have been incurred but not yet reimbursed by the NIH.

NIH grants are subject to audit and retrospective adjustment by the granting agency to ensure compliance. While the Company believes it has complied with all material terms of the grant agreements, any costs found to be unallowable upon audit could be subject to repayment. As of June 30, 2026, no such repayment is deemed probable.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Issuance of Options

From July 1 to August 10, 2026, the Company issued 35,675 options at a weighted exercise price of $1.28 to consultants.

Issuance of Stock

On July 7, 2026, the Company issued 8,362 restricted shares of Common Stock having a value of $14,550 (based on the $1.73 price calculated by using 120% of the dollar value weighted average price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of the purchase payment) to a service provider under a master services agreement in consideration of services rendered. The issuance was exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

You should read the following discussion together with our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those which we discuss under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing targeted immunotherapies for cancer. Ateganosine (also known as THIO, 6-thio-dG or 6-thio-2 ‘-deoxyguanosine), our lead asset, is an investigational dual mechanism of action drug candidate incorporating telomere targeting and immunogenicity. Our initial disease target is lung cancer, a serious medical condition with an incidence of over 235,000 new cases in the US in 2024, representing 12% of all cancers, and over 125,000 deaths, or 20% of all cancers. Worldwide, lung cancer incidence is over 2,200,000 per year (ranking second only after breast cancer), and mortality over 1,800,000 (ranking first). Specifically, we are targeting Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (“NSCLC”), which represents 85% of all lung cancers. In July 2022, the first patient was administered with ateganosine in our Phase 2 human trial (THIO-101) in Australia. In December 2022, regulatory authorities in three European countries, Hungary, Poland, and Bulgaria, approved the implementation of THIO-101, Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating ateganosine in patients with NSCLC. Patients with advanced NSCLC will be treated first with ateganosine followed a few days later by the immune checkpoint inhibitor Libtayo® (cemiplimab), manufactured and commercialized by Regeneron. Cemiplimab is a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting the immune checkpoint receptor PD-1 on T-cells. Cemiplimab has been approved in the United States and the rest of the world for multiple cancer indications, including NSCLC. In February 2021, we signed a clinical supply agreement with Regeneron to receive cemiplimab at no cost, which represents a significant cost-savings for the study. In return, we have granted Regeneron exclusive development rights in combination with PD-1 inhibitors for NSCLC for the study period. Based on the clinical data generated by our THIO-101 trial, we plan to seek filing for an accelerated approval of ateganosine in the United States for the treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC in 2026, but even if granted, accelerated approval status does not guarantee an accelerated review or marketing approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We initiated a Phase 3 pivotal trial in 2025, named THIO-104, to evaluate the efficacy of ateganosine administered in sequence with a checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) in third-line NSCLC patients who are resistant to checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy which could lead filing for early full commercial approval in 2027 and final analysis could lead to filing for full commercial approval in 2028. The multicenter, open-label, pivotal Phase 3 trial is designed to provide a direct comparison to chemotherapy in a 1:1 randomization of up to 300 patients. In addition, the originally planned Phase 2 clinical trial in multiple tumor indications (THIO-102) is now divided into different trials for one tumor indication each: hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), colorectal cancer (CRC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). In December 2024, we entered into a clinical supply agreement with global oncology company BeOne Medicines to assess the efficacy of ateganosine in combination with BeOne’s immune checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) tislelizumab in three cancer indications across different trials to study the drug combination in HCC, SCLC and CRC. Phase 2 clinical trials in HCC, CRC and SCLC are planned to be initiated in 2026, evaluating treatment with ateganosine administered in sequence with BeOne’s immune checkpoint inhibitor, tislelizumab. In June 2025, MAIA announced its entry into a clinical master supply agreement with Roche for future studies investigating the combination of ateganosine sequenced with Roche’s checkpoint inhibitor (CPI), atezolizumab (Tecentriq®), for the treatment of multiple cancers indications. Clinical trials with other solid tumors (ST), such as breast, prostate, gastric, pancreatic and ovarian, may still be considered for potential future trials.

We accomplished the key milestones set forth below in the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the third quarter of 2026: Please note that on March 18, 2025, the company announced “ateganosine” as the nonproprietary (generic) name for THIO, and its intent to use the generic name to support clear communication, while keeping the name THIO in the Company’s clinical trial designations (THIO-101, THIO-102, THIO-104).

| ● | On January 20, 2026, we provided a corporate update on 2025 achievements and highlighted key targeted milestones and growth catalysts for 2026. The targeted milestones include: (i) initial measures of efficacy from Phase 3 study, with interim disease control rates (DCR), overall response rates (ORR) and progression free survival (PFS) analysis of ateganosine compared to the control arm will support regulatory discussions; (ii) expected conclusion of Part C of Phase 2 study, which will provide additional clinical efficacy data to support regulatory review for commercial approval; (iii) Plan to engage in regulatory interactions with the FDA to expand ongoing FDA dialogue under the Fast Track designation, including discussions around trial enhancements and prospects for Accelerated Approval and Priority Review; (iv) clinical development of second-generation molecules planned to start in Phase 1 trials, with additional small molecules fully developed in-house with better expected efficacy compared to ateganosine.
| ● | On March 4, 2026, we issued and sold 20,000,000 shares of our common stock in confidentially marketed public offering at a price of $1.50 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $30 million, prior to deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. In addition, on March 9, 2026, the Company closed on the partial exercise of underwriter over-allotment option for the above referenced offering for an additional 2,005,875 shares of common stock at the offering price of $1.50 per share resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $3 million. After giving effect to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the total number of shares sold by Company in the offering increased to 22,005,875 and gross proceeds increased to approximately $33 million.
| ● | On March 31, 2026, we announced overall survival (OS) beyond two years for eight patients treated with ateganosine sequenced with cemiplimab in Parts A and B of its ongoing Phase 2 THIO-101 clinical trial in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The patients did not receive subsequent lines of therapy. The highlights were presented in a poster on March 27, 2026, at the European Lung Cancer Congress 2026 (ELCC), in Copenhagen, Denmark.
| ● | On April 8, 2026, we announced that net proceeds from the $33 million confidentially marketed public offering of common stock in March 2026 are expected to fully fund the Company’s ongoing pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of its lead investigational therapy, ateganosine, as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
| ● | On April 16, 2026, we announced the activation the first U.S. clinical site in its Phase 2 THIO-101 expansion trial of its lead investigational therapy as a third-line (3L) treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The trial’s expansion into the U.S. marks a key milestone for MAIA, which is expected to open a significantly larger patient pool for evaluation of ateganosine, a novel dual mechanism of action drug candidate incorporating telomere targeting and immunogenicity. In addition to the first location, Summit Medical Group in New Jersey, MAIA intends to open four additional sites in U.S. in 2026. The trial is ongoing in Europe and Asia with 44 active sites in 6 countries.
| ● | On June 3, 2026, we announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) cleared an amendment to the Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application for ateganosine, enabling MAIA to initiate U.S. patient enrollment in the expansion of its Phase 2 THIO-101 clinical trial evaluating ateganosine in patients with advanced third-line (“3L”) non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”). The amended IND also reflects updates to the Company’s manufacturing processes, including additional manufacturers, formulation improvements and revised storage conditions for ateganosine.
| ● | On June 4, 2026, we announced a patient enrollment update for the ongoing pivotal Phase 3 THIO-104 clinical trial evaluating ateganosine as a treatment for advanced 3L NSCLC. As of the announcement date, 29 patients had been dosed across 34 activated clinical sites in six countries outside the United States.
| ● | On June 10, 2026, we announced the activation of Central Alabama Research in Homewood, Alabama, as the second U.S. clinical site participating in the Phase 2 THIO-101 expansion trial.
| ● | On June 18, 2026, we announced the activation of the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University as the third U.S. clinical site participating in the Phase 2 THIO-101 expansion trial.
| ● | On June 25, 2026, we announced the completion of international patient enrollment in Part C of the Phase 2 THIO-101 expansion trial evaluating ateganosine in patients with advanced 3L NSCLC. Patient screening continues at activated clinical sites in the United States while the Company continues to monitor patient outcomes and data maturation from the international portion of the study.
| ● | On July 8, 2026, we announced initial efficacy results from Part C of the Phase 2 THIO-101 clinical trial. As of July 6, 2026, among the 21 efficacy-evaluable patients who had undergone at least one post-baseline tumor assessment, the study demonstrated a disease control rate (“DCR”) of 90.5% (19 of 21 patients) following treatment with ateganosine administered sequentially with cemiplimab (Libtayo®).
| ● | In addition to NSCLC, HCC, SCLC and CRC we plan to conduct clinical trials evaluating ateganosine in sequential combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor in several other cancer indications, including solid tumors, such as breast, prostate, gastric, pancreatic and ovarian cancers.

Impact of the War in Ukraine and War in Israel on Our Operations

The short and long-term implications of war in Ukraine and war in Israel are difficult to predict at this time. The imposition of sanctions and counter sanctions may have an adverse effect on the economic markets generally and could impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Because of the highly uncertain and dynamic nature of these events, the Company terminated any planned research activities in the impacted areas.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who is our principal executive officer, and our Head of Finance, who is our principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as set forth in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms promulgated by the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On April 22, 2026, H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) filed complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York with respect to an action for damages under New York law for breach of contract arising from the Company’s breach of a right of first refusal provision set forth in the parties’ engagement agreement, arising from a March 2026 offering of securities by the Company (the “Wainwright Action”). Wainwright seeks the amount of compensation they could have received as underwriter in the March 2026 offering being (i) $2,310,616.88 in cash and (ii) warrants to purchase 1,540,411 shares of our common stock as an exercise price of $1.875 per share. On June 26, 2026, the Company filed a notice of motion for dismissal. At this early stage in the proceedings, the Company is unable to make any prediction regarding the outcome of the Wainwright Action.

From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings or subject to claims in the ordinary course of business. Regardless of the outcome, such proceedings or claims can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of resources and other factors, and there can be no assurances that favorable outcomes will be obtained.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2026. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, except as set forth below, there are no additional risk factors added to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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

We did not receive any cash proceeds from this issuance. The issuance was exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
