Nature of Business

Organization

Synlogic, Inc., together with its wholly owned and consolidated subsidiaries (Synlogic or the Company), is a biopharmaceutical company that applied synthetic biology to the discovery and development of Synthetic Biotics. Synthetic Biotics are generated from Synlogic’s proprietary platform, leveraging a reproducible, modular approach to the generation of novel drug candidates that perform or deliver critical therapeutic functions. Synthetic Biotics are designed to metabolize a toxic substance, compensate for missing or damaged metabolic pathways or deliver combinations of therapeutic factors. Synlogic’s goal is to discover, develop and ultimately commercialize Synthetic Biotics. Since incorporation, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to the research and development of its product candidates.

In February 2024, the Company and its board of directors decided to discontinue the Synpheny-3 trial and to conduct a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives. The Company also announced a corporate restructuring that resulted in a reduction in its workforce, leaving one remaining full-time employee. In addition, the Company has engaged consultants, to, among other things, support the strategic review process and current business operations. (see Note 7, Restructuring and Other Charges in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

Going Concern and Liquidity

The Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming it will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the continuity of operations, and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has historically generated negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $444.2 million at September 30, 2025. At September 30, 2025, the Company had $15.6 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. Following the execution of the corporate restructuring over the course of the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has determined its current cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025 will be sufficient to fund its operations at the current levels for at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing. As the Company continues to review strategic alternatives, the Company will continue to incur costs and expenditures in connection with the process of evaluating strategic alternatives.
