Organization | 1. Organization Alaunos Therapeutics, Inc., which is referred to herein as “Alaunos,” or the “Company,” is a clinical-stage oncology-focused cell therapy company developing adoptive TCR therapies, designed to treat multiple solid tumor types in large cancer patient populations with unmet clinical needs. On January 25, 2022, the Company changed its corporate name from Ziopharm Oncology, Inc. to Alaunos Therapeutics, Inc. The Company is leveraging its proprietary, non-viral Sleeping Beauty gene transfer platform and its novel cancer mutation hotspot TCR library to design and manufacture personalized cell therapies that target neoantigens arising from common tumor-related mutations in key oncogenic genes, including KRAS, TP53, and EGFR. The Company’s operations to date have consisted primarily of conducting research and development and raising capital to fund those efforts. In May 2021, the Company announced that it will be winding down its existing Controlled IL-12 clinical program for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. The Company will continue to seek a partner for this program and has also begun exploring potential synergies between this technology and its cell therapy programs. Costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2021 under the program wind-down have not been material. The Company has operated at a loss since its inception in 2003 and has no recurring revenue from operations. The Company anticipates that losses will continue for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $76.1 million of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s accumulated deficit at December 31, 2021 was approximately $842.9 million. Given its current development plans and cash management efforts, the Company anticipates cash resources will be sufficient to fund operations into the second quarter of 2023. The Company’s ability to continue operations after its current cash resources are exhausted depends on its ability to obtain additional financing or to achieve profitable operations, as to which no assurances can be given. Cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned because of changes in the Company’s focus and direction of its research and development programs, competitive and technical advances, patent developments, regulatory changes or other developments. If adequate additional funds are not available when required, or if the Company is unsuccessful in entering into partnership agreements for further development of its product candidates, management may need to curtail its development efforts and planned operations to conserve cash. The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes it to issue 350,000,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2021, there were 216,127,443 shares of common stock outstanding and an additional 33,620,711 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding stock options and warrants.
