 PART I
 
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual
results may differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth in the section
entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. Please refer to the special note regarding forward-looking statements at the beginning of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.
 
 
ITEM 1.             BUSINESS 
 
Overview 
 
Omeros Corporation (“Omeros,” the “Company” or “we”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to discovering, developing and
commercializing small-molecule and protein therapeutics for large-market as well as orphan indications targeting immunologic diseases, including
complement-mediated diseases and cancers related to dysfunction of the immune system, as well as addictive and compulsive disorders.
 
Complement-targeted Therapeutic Development Programs 
 
We are advancing multiple development programs focused on diseases and disorders associated with the complement system, a group of specialized
proteins that protect against invasive pathogens as well as damaged cells inside the body and comprise an important part of the body’s immune system.
When triggered, the various components of complement cooperate to generate an immune response that fights infection and clears damaged or dead cells,
maintaining healthy function of the body’s systems. However, dysregulation of the complement system (i.e., over- or under-activation) can be harmful and
is associated with increased vulnerability to infections and non-infectious diseases, including autoimmune disorders, chronic inflammation, thrombotic
microangiopathy, and cancer.
 
There are three distinct pathways of complement, each activated via one or more unique mechanisms:
 
 
●
Classical pathway: activated by antigen-antibody complexes
 
●
Lectin pathway: activated by lectin binding of carbohydrate patterns on the surfaces of damaged cells and microbes
 
●
Alternative pathway: constitutively active and amplifies classical and lectin pathway activation
 
Our complement-targeted therapeutic development programs are primarily focused on diseases and disorders associated with the lectin and/or
alternative pathways of complement. Our lectin pathway program includes inhibitors of mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease 2 (“MASP-2”)
and our alternative pathway program includes inhibitors of mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease 3 (“MASP-3”).
 
Narsoplimab (OMS721), the lead product candidate in our pipeline of complement-targeted therapeutics, is a proprietary, patented human monoclonal
antibody inhibitor of MASP-2, the key activator of the lectin pathway. Clinical development of narsoplimab is currently focused primarily on hematopoietic
stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (“TA-TMA”). We are also developing OMS1029, our long-acting antibody and an orally
administered small molecule targeting MASP-2 and the lectin pathway.

Table of Contents
 
The lead product candidate in our development program focused on the alternative pathway of complement is zaltenibart (OMS906), a proprietary,
patented monoclonal antibody targeting MASP-3. MASP-3 is the key and most proximal activator of the alternative pathway of complement. We believe
zaltenibart has the potential to treat a wide range of alternative pathway-related diseases and that its attributes favorably differentiate zaltenibart from other
marketed and in-development alternative pathway inhibitors. Clinical development of zaltenibart is currently ongoing in multiple alternative pathway-
related disorders, including paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (“PNH”), a rare and life-threatening hemolytic blood disorder, and complement 3
glomerulopathy (“C3G”), a rare chronic kidney disease. A small molecule MASP-3 inhibitor intended for oral administration is also in development.
 
Other Development Programs
 
Our development pipeline also includes OMS527, our phosphodiesterase 7 (“PDE7”) inhibitor program focused on addiction and movement disorders.
We also have a diverse group of preclinical programs, including an oncology platform directed to development of novel therapeutics across a portfolio of
signaling-driven immunomodulators, oncotoxins and an adoptive T-cell technology combined with an immunostimulator.
 
OMIDRIA Sale and Royalty Monetization Transactions
We previously developed and commercialized OMIDRIA® (phenylephrine and ketorolac intraocular solution) 1%/0.3%, which is approved for use
during cataract surgery or intraocular lens (“IOL”) replacement to maintain pupil size by preventing intraoperative miosis (pupil constriction) and to reduce
postoperative ocular pain. We marketed OMIDRIA in the United States (the “U.S.”) from the time of its commercial launch in 2015 until December 2021.
 
On December 23, 2021, we sold OMIDRIA to Rayner Surgical Inc. (“Rayner”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated December 1, 2021
(the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Rayner paid us $126.0 million at the closing and we retained all outstanding
accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses as of the closing date. In February 2023, we received a $200.0 million milestone payment
from Rayner (the “Milestone Payment”), plus accrued interest, upon an event (the “Milestone Event”) that established separate payment for OMIDRIA for
a continuous period of at least four years when furnished in an ambulatory surgery center (“ASC”) setting. The Asset Purchase Agreement also provides for
the payment of royalties by Rayner based on Rayner's net sales of OMIDRIA for a term that extends for the life of the patents covering OMIDRIA in the
relevant jurisdiction, the longest of which in the United States is currently into 2035. The applicable royalty rates are currently 30% in the United States and
15% outside the United States, subject to reduction upon certain events described in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
 
On September 30, 2022, we entered into a Royalty Purchase Agreement (the “Original Agreement”) with DRI Healthcare Acquisitions LP (“DRI”)
under which we received $125.0 million in exchange for a portion of the royalties to which we were entitled from Rayner under the Asset Purchase
Agreement on global net sales of OMIDRIA between September 1, 2022 and December 31, 2030, subject to certain annual caps on the royalty amounts
payable to DRI.
 
On February 1, 2024, we entered into an Amended and Restated Royalty Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) under which we sold to DRI an
expanded interest in the OMIDRIA royalties. The Amendment eliminated the annual caps on royalty payments to which DRI is entitled and provides that
DRI will receive all royalties on U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA payable between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2031. We received $115.5 million upon
closing of the Amendment.Additionally, we are eligible under the Amendment to receive two milestone payments of up to $27.5 million each, payable in
January 2026 and January 2028, respectively, based on achievement of certain thresholds for U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA. DRI is entitled to payment only
to the extent of royalty payments that are payable on U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA on or before December 31, 2031 and DRI has no recourse to our assets
other than our interest in the OMIDRIA royalties. Omeros retains the right to receive all royalties payable by Rayner on any net sales of OMIDRIA outside
the U.S. payable from and after January 1, 2024, as well as all royalties on global net sales of OMIDRIA payable from and after December 31, 2031. For
further discussion, please refer to Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – OMIDRIA
Sale and Royalty Monetization Transactions.”
 
2024 Term Loan 
 
On June 3, 2024, we, with certain subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain
funds managed by Athyrium Capital Management, LP (collectively, “Athyrium”) and certain funds managed by Highbridge Capital Management, LLC
(collectively, “Highbridge”) as lenders and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent and collateral agent. We have borrowed
approximately $67.1 million under the Credit Agreement and pledged substantially all of our assets, including our intellectual property, as collateral,
subject to customary exceptions, and excluding royalty interests in OMIDRIA and certain related rights. Pursuant to a covenant in the Credit Agreement,
we must maintain $25.0 million of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at all times. In addition, the Credit Agreement restricts or
places conditions on, among other things, our ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, dispose of assets, make investments, make acquisitions, enter into
certain transactions with affiliates, pay cash dividends or make distributions, repurchase stock, repurchase our 5.25% convertible senior notes due on
February 15, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), license certain of our intellectual property on an exclusive basis and engage in significant business transactions such
as a change of control. Any of these restrictions could significantly limit our operating and financial flexibility and ability to respond to changes in our
business or competitive activities. For additional information regarding the Credit Agreement and its associated risks, see Part II, Item 7, “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – 2024 Term Loan and Repurchase of 2026 Notes” and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk
Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Complement Inhibitor Programs
The complement system plays a role in the body’s inflammatory response and becomes activated as a result of tissue damage or trauma or microbial
pathogen invasion. Inappropriate or uncontrolled activation of the complement system can cause diseases characterized by serious tissue injury. Three main
pathways can activate the complement system: classical, lectin, and alternative. We are focused on development of therapeutics to treat diseases associated
with the lectin and/or alternative pathways of complement. We are developing antibodies as well as small-molecule inhibitors of key enzymes known to be
centrally involved in the activation of the targeted pathway of complement.
MASP-2 Program - Lectin Pathway Disorders
MASP-2, a novel pro-inflammatory protein target, is the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway and is required for the function of this pathway. Omeros
is developing antibodies and small-molecule inhibitors of MASP-2 as potential therapeutics for diseases in which the lectin pathway has been shown to
contribute to significant tissue injury and pathology. When not treated, these diseases are typically characterized by significant end-organ damage, such as
kidney or central nervous system injury. Importantly, inhibition of MASP-2 has been demonstrated not to interfere with the antibody-dependent classical
complement activation pathway, a critical component of the acquired immune response to infection. In addition to our clinical programs evaluating
narsoplimab, we have generated positive preclinical data from MASP-2 inhibition in in vivo models of myocardial infarction, diabetic neuropathy, stroke,
ischemia-reperfusion injury, and other diseases and disorders. We own or hold worldwide exclusive licenses to rights related to MASP-2, the antibodies
targeting MASP-2 and the therapeutic applications for those antibodies.

Narsoplimab (OMS721)
The lead product candidate in our pipeline of complement-targeted therapeutics is narsoplimab (OMS721), a proprietary, patented human monoclonal
antibody targeting MASP-2. Narsoplimab is in clinical development for several indications.
 
Hematopoietic stem-cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (“TA-TMA”): In March 2025, we resubmitted to FDA a BLA seeking
marketing approval for narsoplimab in TA-TMA. FDA has 30 days to decide whether the application is sufficiently complete to permit a review of the
BLA. Assuming FDA agrees to review the BLA, we expect the resubmission to be classified as Type B, meaning that the target date for FDA action on the
BLA under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) is expected to be in September 2025. As with any BLA or new drug application, there can be
no guarantee that, even if FDA agrees to review the BLA, that FDA will complete its review within a given timeframe, or that our BLA will ultimately be
approved.
 
We previously submitted a BLA for narsoplimab in TA-TMA, the clinical sections of which were based on results of the pivotal trial of narsoplimab in
TA-TMA (OMS721-TMA-001), in which the drug met its primary endpoint of complete response compared to an efficacy threshold, where complete
response required clinical improvements in TMA markers (platelet count and lactose dehydrogenase) and in organ function (renal pulmonary,
gastrointestinal or neurological) or freedom from transfusion. Despite the success on the primary endpoint and the unmet need in TA-TMA, in October
2021 FDA issued a complete response letter (“CRL”) with respect to the original BLA and indicated that additional information would be needed to support
regulatory approval. We appealed FDA’s decision to issue the CRL through a formal dispute resolution process that concluded in late 2022. Although our
appeal was denied, the decision identified potential paths for resubmission of the BLA, including paths based on comparison of survival data from the
completed pivotal trial versus a historical control group.
 
Based on the recommendations included in the appeal decision and on subsequent interactions with FDA, we proposed a statistical analysis plan to
assess data from our pivotal clinical trial, existing data from a historical control population available from an external source and data from the narsoplimab
expanded access program. The proposed protocol and statistical analysis plan were reviewed by FDA, and FDA’s recommendations were incorporated into
the final versions. All statistical analyses were conducted by an independent statistical group and the completed analyses are included in the resubmitted
BLA for narsoplimab in TA-TMA.
 
The primary endpoint under the statistical analysis plan compared to overall survival in the 28 TA-TMA patients that received narsoplimab treatment
in the OMS721-TMA-001 pivotal trial to overall survival of more than 100 similarly high-risk TA-TMA patients in an external control registry who did not
receive narsoplimab treatment. The OMS721-TMA-001 patients demonstrated clinically meaningful and statistically significant superiority in overall
survival – a hazard ratio of 0.32 (95% confidence interval: 0.23 to 0.44) with p-value less than 0.00001 – compared to the TA-TMA patients in the external
registry. The robustness of these results is supported by the sensitivity analyses conducted, and confidence in the results is demonstrated by statistical tests
intended to assess potential confounding effects.
 
Analyses similar to the primary analysis comparing survival in TA-TMA patients treated with narsoplimab under a global expanded access program
(“EAP”) to that of similarly at-risk TA-TMA registry of patients were also included in the analysis plan, along with sensitivity analyses related to each
of the primary and EAP comparisons.  
 
The EAP-related analyses, which compare survival in narsoplimab-treated adult EAP patients and survival in similarly at-risk TA-TMA patients in the
external control registry, further support the robustness and generalizability of the primary analysis results, with representative analyses of the combined
EAP and pivotal trial patients yielding hazard ratios ranging from 0.34 (95% confidence interval: 0.21, 0.53) to 0.46 (95% confidence interval: 0.35, 0.60)
and p-values ranging from less than 0.00001 to 0.00002. Results of the primary-related and EAP-related sensitivity analyses performed as part of the
statistical analysis plan support the robustness of the primary results. The EAP includes adults and children and includes both treatment-naïve patients and
patients who failed or stopped treatment for their TA-TMA prior to receiving narsoplimab. Analyses of survival across all of these subgroups of patients
treated with narsoplimab show consistently impressive survival results regardless of age or prior treatment status.
 
In the U.S., FDA has granted narsoplimab (1) breakthrough therapy designation in patients who have persistent TMA despite modification of
immunosuppressive therapy, (2) orphan drug designation for the prevention (inhibition) of complement-mediated TMAs, and (3) orphan drug designation
for the treatment of TA-TMA. The European Commission (the “EC”) also granted narsoplimab designation as an orphan medicinal product for treatment in
hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
 
In Europe, the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) has confirmed narsoplimab’s eligibility for the EMA’s centralized review of a single marketing
authorization application (“MAA”) that, if approved, authorizes the product to be marketed in all EU member states and European Economic Area
countries. We are targeting to complete our MAA submission in the first half of 2025.

COVID-19 and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (“ARDS”): There is strong and increasingly well-established evidence of the central role of the
lectin pathway in COVID-19 and acute respiratory distress syndrome (“ARDS”), and we have developed mechanistic, in vivo animal data, and proof-of-
concept clinical data indicating that narsoplimab may be an effective therapeutic for COVID-19, ARDS and/or related indications. We have also generated
compelling data in established animal models across all forms of severe ARDS - bacterial, viral and chemical - and continue to explore the evidence that
MASP-2 and the lectin pathway are important drivers of post-acute sequelae SARS-CoV-2 (“PASC”), commonly known as long COVID.
 
We have also developed an assay platform to identify hyperactivation of the lectin pathway. Because lectin pathway hyperactivation is correlated with
COVID-19-related-ARDS and may be involved in the pathogenesis of other forms of ARDS and/or PASC, the assay may be useful to identify patients with
these conditions who are at greatest risk of hospitalization and/or mortality as well as those who are particularly amenable to lectin pathway inhibition
therapy for the treatment of one or more of these conditions. We continue to validate the clinical correlation of lectin pathway hyperactivation with
COVID-19, ARDS and PASC and to engage in discussions with potential partners as well as with representatives of the U.S. government regarding
potential opportunities to obtain funding and advance development of our potential diagnostic and/or therapeutic product candidates for COVID-19, PASC
and/or ARDS. 
 
OMS1029
 
Our lectin pathway program also includes OMS1029, our long-acting antibody targeting MASP-2. This next-generation MASP-2 inhibitor is intended
to be complementary to narsoplimab, enabling us to pursue chronic indications in which dosing convenience would be of significant benefit to patients. We
have completed Phase 1 clinical trials evaluating both single-ascending and multiple-ascending doses of OMS1029. Data from these trials demonstrated the
feasibility of once quarterly, subcutaneous administration, representing a convenient regimen well-suited for chronically dosed indications that can be
administered either in health care centers or at home. OMS1029 has been well tolerated to date with no safety concerns identified. We continue to evaluate
several potential indications for which Phase 2 clinical development of OMS1029 could be pursued, depending on resource availability. OMS1029 drug
product and placebo have been manufactured and stored for future use. Available quantities are expected to be sufficient to support a Phase 2 clinical trial.
 
MASP-3 Program - Alternative Pathway Disorders
 
As part of our program to develop complement-targeted therapeutics, we have identified MASP-3, which has been shown to be the key activator of the
complement system’s alternative pathway (“APC”), and we believe that we are the first to make this and related discoveries associated with the APC. The
complement system is part of the immune system’s innate response, and the APC is considered the amplification loop within the complement system.
MASP-3 is responsible for the conversion of pro-factor D to mature factor D; which is necessary for the activation of the APC. 
 
We believe that MASP-3 inhibitors have the potential to treat patients suffering from a wide range of diseases and conditions including: PNH; C3G;
multiple sclerosis; neuromyelitis optica; age-related macular degeneration; Alzheimer’s disease; systemic lupus erythematosus; diabetic retinopathy;
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis; anti-phospholipid syndrome; atherosclerosis; myasthenia
gravis and others. Several of these indications have been clinically validated by other agents targeting the APC. Our MASP-3 program has also generated
positive data in a well-established animal model of arthritis.
 
Zaltenibart (OMS906)
 
The lead product candidate in our MASP-3 inhibitor program is zaltenibart (previously referred to as OMS906), a proprietary, patented human
monoclonal antibody targeting MASP-3. Clinical development of zaltenibart is ongoing in PNH and C3G. Zaltenibart has been well tolerated to date across
all clinical trials, and no safety signal of concern has been identified.

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (“PNH”): 
 
Our program evaluating zaltenibart in PNH is in Phase 3 of development. Similar to our Phase 2 program, our Phase 3 program includes both a study
treating PNH patients who are not receiving treatment with a complement inhibitor, as well as a “switch-over” study in PNH patients who have had an
unsatisfactory response to eculizumab and ravulizumab, both of which are inhibitors of complement component 5 (“C5”).
 
In the fall of 2024, we met with FDA and European regulators to discuss further details of our planned Phase 3 program for zaltenibart in PNH. With
both regulatory agencies, we discussed data developed from our clinical and nonclinical programs to date and our Phase 3 development plans for
zaltenibart in PNH. Both regulatory agencies agreed with the trial designs and provided other valuable feedback to inform our development plans.
 
Both studies in our Phase 3 program are designed to provide head-to-head comparisons with the C5 inhibitors and could produce data demonstrating
the superiority of zaltenibart over the C5 inhibitors in these patient populations. These data could form the basis for comparative superiority claims for
promotion, enhanced market access, and pricing reflective of zaltenibart’s advantages. We also sought and received recommendations regarding patient-
reported-outcome measures from the German Federal Joint Committee, which determines availability of reimbursement from statutory health insurance
funds in that country and which has specialized expertise in patient-reported-outcome measures. Recommended patient-reported-outcome measures were
incorporated into the zaltenibart Phase 3 program and are expected to be helpful in securing appropriate pricing in relevant jurisdictions.
 
Clinical site activation in our Phase 3 program for PNH has begun. All zaltenibart drug product needed for our Phase 3 programs has been
manufactured and active comparator drug has been sourced. A total of 120 clinical investigative sites across 30 countries have been chosen for clinical trial
participation in the zaltenibart Phase 3 program in PNH. A number of these sites have already identified pools of PNH patients ready to participate in the
zaltenibart trials, and Omeros continues collaborating with sites to identify additional eligible and already available PNH patients.
 
Our Phase 2 development program evaluating zaltenibart for PNH consists of three studies. A study in PNH patients who have had an unsatisfactory
response to the C5 inhibitor ravulizumab has been completed. A study in PNH patients who have not previously been treated with a complement
inhibitor is ongoing under protocol amendments intended to produce additional data on the zaltenibart dose selected for Phase 3 development. The third
clinical trial in our Phase 2 program evaluating zaltenibart in PNH is an ongoing open-label extension study to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of
zaltenibart in patients who have completed any of our PNH clinical trials. Data from the extension study are expected to contribute to any future marketing
applications for zaltenibart in the treatment of PNH. 
 
Results from a pre-specified interim analysis in our Phase 2 clinical trial of zaltenibart in complement-inhibitor-naïve adults with PNH were featured in
a podium presentation at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology in December 2023. The interim analysis results showed statistically
significant and clinically meaningful improvements in all measured markers of hemolysis, including hemoglobin and lactate dehydrogenase. This study
was amended to gather additional data on the zaltenibart dose selected for Phase 3 development and remains ongoing for this purpose.
 
The last patient visit in our Phase 2 trial evaluating two doses of zaltenibart in PNH patients who have had an unsatisfactory response to the C5
inhibitor ravulizumab occurred in October 2024. Utilizing a “switch-over” design, this study enrolled PNH patients receiving ravulizumab,
added zaltenibart to provide combination therapy with ravulizumab for 24 weeks, and then, in those patients who demonstrated a hemoglobin response with
the combination therapy, switched to zaltenibart monotherapy. In June 2024, efficacy data from a pre-specified interim analysis of the combination therapy
portion of the trial were featured in a podium presentation at the annual congress of the European Hematology Association held in Madrid, Spain. The
interim analysis showed that the addition of zaltenibart therapy to ravulizumab treatment resulted in statistically significant and clinically meaningful
improvements in both mean hemoglobin levels and absolute reticulocyte counts by week 4 of combination therapy, with a sustained response
observed through week 24 (the latest assessment prior to the interim analysis cutoff). All 13 enrolled patients were included in the interim analysis. All
patients in the high-dose group achieved clinical response, defined as an increase in hemoglobin of at least 2 grams, and six of seven patients in the low-
dose group achieved this same clinical response. Data from the monotherapy portion of the trial were presented at the annual meeting of the American
Society of Hematology in December 2024. Twelve of 13 enrolled patients continued to the second stage of the study. The interim results from the
monotherapy stage of the study showed that in PNH patients experiencing substantial extravascular hemolysis while receiving ravulizumab, zaltenibart
monotherapy resulted in sustained clinically meaningful improvements in both hemoglobin and absolute reticulocyte count and prevented both
intravascular and extravascular hemolysis.
 
Zaltenibart received designation from FDA as an orphan drug for the treatment of PNH in July 2022. 
 
Complement 3 glomerulopathy (“C3G”): We also have an ongoing Phase 2 clinical program evaluating zaltenibart for the treatment of C3G, a rare and
debilitating renal disease driven by complement dysregulation. Notably, the relevance of the alternative pathway to C3G has been clinically validated in
two Phase 3 trials with other inhibitors of the alternative pathway that reported positive results in the treatment of C3G. Sites for the zaltenibart Phase 2
trial in C3G are open to enrollment in multiple countries and dosing in the study is ongoing. We are amending the study to include a cohort of patients with
C3G who have normal plasma C3 levels and evidence of renal inflammation in their urine, which represents a large proportion of the total C3G population.
Our Phase 2 study in C3G requires enrollment of a relatively small number of patients and we expect to complete the study later this year. Following
completion of the Phase 2 study, and assuming strong evidence of efficacy, we plan to initiate a Phase 3 trial in C3G.
 
In October 2024, zaltenibart received a rare pediatric disease designation from FDA for the treatment of C3G. Companies awarded a rare pediatric
disease designation are eligible to receive a rare pediatric disease priority review voucher from FDA if the designated drug's first approval is for the
associated indication in the pediatric population and certain other criteria are met. Absent legislative reauthorization and extension of the priority review
voucher program for rare pediatric disease, one of the criteria for receipt of a voucher under the current law is that the drug must be approved by September
30, 2026. The holder of a priority review voucher is entitled to obtain a priority review by FDA of either a new drug application or a biologics license
application for a different product and/or indication, reducing the review time and accelerating any grant of approval and subsequent market entry by at
least four months. The voucher may be used by the original recipient, or it can be sold for use to another company. 
 
Preclinical Complement Inhibitor Programs
 
We have also directed efforts to development of small-molecule inhibitors of MASP-2 and MASP-3 designed for oral administration. In our MASP-2
small-molecule inhibitor program, we continue to develop and assess preclinical data on our selected drug candidate. Our MASP-3 small-molecule
inhibitor is advancing toward selection of a drug development candidate.
 
Other Clinical Programs

 
PDE7 Inhibitor Programs - OMS527
 
Our PDE7 inhibitor program, which we refer to as OMS527, comprises multiple PDE7 inhibitor compounds and is based on our discoveries of
previously unknown links between PDE7 and any addiction or compulsive disorder, and between PDE7 and any movement disorders. PDE7 appears to
modulate the dopaminergic system, which plays a significant role in regulating both addiction and movement. We believe that PDE7 inhibitors could be
effective therapeutics for the treatment of addictions and compulsions as well as for movement disorders. Data generated in preclinical studies support the
use of PDE7 inhibitors in both of these therapeutic areas.
 
Cocaine Use Disorder (“CUD”): In April 2023, we were awarded a grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (“NIDA”), part of the National
Institutes of Health, and requested by NIDA to develop our lead orally administered PDE7 inhibitor compound for the treatment of CUD. The award, for a
total of $6.24 million over three years is intended to fund an in-patient, placebo-controlled clinical study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of OMS527
in adults with CUD who receive concurrent intravenous cocaine, as well as prerequisite cocaine-OMS527 interaction safety studies in which the OMS527
therapeutic candidate was co-administered with cocaine in two animal species to rule out enhancement of the detrimental effects of cocaine.
 
In the OMS527-cocaine interaction studies, OMS527, when administered at two different doses in combination with cocaine, did not produce an
additive or synergistic effect on the convulsive threshold of cocaine in rats or on the adverse cocaine-induced cardiovascular responses in non-human
primates. Instead, the higher doses of OMS527 generally lessened the severity of effects noted following intravenous administration of cocaine, most
notably decreasing convulsant-related activity following the administration of cocaine.
 
Based on the successful outcome of the preclinical studies, NIDA has provided the Company with a funding commitment for the year commencing
April 1, 2025 in the amount of $4.02 million. This amount is expected to fund the inpatient clinical trial assessing safety and efficacy of the lead OMS527
compound in adult patients with CUD. Readout of preliminary data from that study is targeted by year-end 2025.
 
In a previously completed Phase 1 clinical trial in healthy human subjects the lead OMS527 compound was well tolerated with no safety signal of
concern and displayed favorable pharmacokinetics, supporting once daily dosing in the dose range expected to produce efficacy in humans.
 
Levodopa-induced dyskinesia (“LID”): With investigators at Emory University, we are also evaluating an OMS527 PDE7 inhibitor as a potential
treatment for LID, which are involuntary and often crippling movements in patients with Parkinson’s disease that are caused by prolonged treatment with
levodopa, the most prescribed therapy for Parkinson’s disease. More than 10 million patients are living with Parkinson’s disease worldwide. Reportedly 50
percent or more of levodopa-treated patients with Parkinson’s disease suffer from LID.
 
We hold an exclusive license to certain PDE7 inhibitors claimed in patents and pending patent applications owned by Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd.
(“Daiichi Sankyo”), as successor-in-interest to Asubio Pharma Co., Ltd. for use in the treatment of movement, addiction and compulsive disorders as well
as other specified indications. For a more detailed description of our agreement with Daiichi Sankyo, see “License and Development Agreements” below.

PPARγ Program - OMS405
 
In our peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (“PPARγ”) program, we have engaged in development of proprietary compositions that
include PPARγ agonists for the treatment and prevention of addiction to substances of abuse, which may include opioids, nicotine and alcohol. We believe
that Omeros is the first to demonstrate a link between PPARγ and addiction disorders. Data from clinical studies and from animal models of addiction
suggest that PPARγ agonists could be efficacious in the treatment of a wide range of addictions.
 
Our collaborators at The New York State Psychiatric Institute have completed two Phase 2 clinical trials related to our PPARγ program. These studies
evaluated a PPARγ agonist, alone or in combination with other agents, for treatment of addiction to heroin and to nicotine. The published results of the
heroin study demonstrated that, although not altering the reinforcing or positive subjective effects of heroin, the PPARγ agonist significantly reduced heroin
craving and overall anxiety. NIDA provided substantially all of the funding for these clinical trials and solely oversaw the conduct of these trials. We have
the right or expect to be able to reference the data obtained from these studies for any future FDA submission and continue to retain all other rights in
connection with the PPARγ program.
 
We have also reported positive results (i.e., decreased cravings and protection of brain white matter) from a Phase 2 clinical trial conducted by an
independent investigator evaluating the effects of a PPARγ agonist in patients with cocaine use disorder. An investigator-sponsored study evaluating the
effects of a PPARγ agonist on the prevention of relapse following treatment of cocaine use disorder is ongoing. The study is funded by NIDA.
 
We own patents, patent applications and other intellectual property rights related to our PPARγ program, as described under “Intellectual Property”
below.

Preclinical Programs and Platforms
 
Oncology Platform
 
The objective of our oncology program is to move beyond existing targeted biologics, such as antibody-drug conjugates (“ADC”), which have small
therapeutic indexes and limited tissue penetrance, and beyond engineered cellular-therapies, such as CAR-T cells, which are expensive and time-
consuming. Building on our understanding of immunity, both innate, e.g., complement-mediated, and adaptive, meaning B-cells as well as CD4 and CD8
T-cells, we are developing a portfolio of next generation biologics to treat cancer. It consists of new modalities of targeted drug conjugates, with better
therapeutic indexes and better tissue penetrance, which we believe could eventually sideline the current ADC technology. Our portfolio also includes an
adoptive T-cell technology combined with an immunostimulator that is easier, faster and cheaper than current cellular therapy approaches. Our technology
also maintains an enhanced anti-cancer immune response through subsequent repetitive and simple therapeutic administrations.
 
Our oncology development program is operating in stealth mode as we continue to confirm our results and to generate new data which we expect will
contribute to our intellectual property position. 
 
Sales and Marketing
 
We have retained all worldwide marketing and distribution rights to our product candidates and our development programs. As such, we will be able to
market any product candidate that is approved in the future independently, through arrangements with third parties, or via some combination of these
approaches.
 
If narsoplimab is approved for marketing in the United States for treatment of TA-TMA, we expect to utilize an internal sales force to sell the product.
We have hired a head of sales for narsoplimab, along with regional leaders of our planned U.S. sales force and intend to begin hiring specialty sales
representatives for U.S. field sales upon reaching certain milestones associated with FDA’s review of our BLA for narsoplimab. If our anticipated MAA for
narsoplimab in TA-TMA is approved by the EMA, we intend to enter into partnerships and/or commercial services arrangements with third-parties to
market and sell narsoplimab in Europe and are currently evaluating various potential arrangements for commercialization in Europe.
 
Manufacturing, Supply and Commercial Operations
 
We have laboratories in-house for analytical method development, bioanalytical testing, formulation, stability testing and small-scale compounding of
laboratory supplies of product candidates; however, we do not own or operate internal manufacturing facilities capable of producing sufficient quantities of
our product candidates under current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”) for use in clinical studies, or for the manufacture of narsoplimab for
commercial use following potential regulatory approval.
 
We utilize contract manufacturers to produce sufficient quantities of product candidates for use in preclinical and clinical studies and to store and
distribute our product candidates. We require manufacturers that produce bulk drug substance and finished drug products for clinical use to operate in
accordance with cGMP and all other applicable laws and regulations. We anticipate that we will rely on contract manufacturers to develop and manufacture
our product candidates for commercial sale. We maintain agreements with potential and existing manufacturers that include confidentiality and intellectual
property provisions to protect our proprietary rights related to our product candidates.

In July 2019, we entered into a master services agreement with Lonza Biologics Tuas Pte. Ltd. (“Lonza”) for the commercial production of
narsoplimab and for certain regulatory support and related services to be provided by Lonza from time to time. Under the agreement Lonza will
manufacture narsoplimab pursuant to purchase orders issued in accordance with certain forecast and confirmation procedures specified in the contract. We
will purchase narsoplimab that meets agreed specifications in batches, with the price per batch varying according to the total number of batches ordered for
serial production in a single manufacturing campaign. We are obligated to purchase a minimum number of batches annually beginning on a specified
anniversary of the first commercial sale of narsoplimab in either the U.S. or EU. We may be obligated to pay certain fees to Lonza upon cancellation of
purchase orders. The initial term of the agreement expires five years after the first commercial sale of narsoplimab in either the U.S. or EU and is subject to
automatic renewal for an additional four-year term unless we provide notice of non-renewal at least three years prior to the end of the initial term. In
addition, either party may terminate the agreement, subject to applicable notice and cure periods under certain circumstances. 
 
We have a Combined Development and Commercial Supply Agreement, effective May 16, 2018, with Vetter Pharma International, GmbH (“Vetter”)
under which the process for manufacturing of sterile liquid vials pre-filled with finished narsoplimab was developed and validated, and pursuant to which
Vetter has agreed to aseptically fill narsoplimab in vials for clinical or commercial use. Under the agreement, we must provide Vetter with non-binding
rolling forecasts of our long-term supply requirements on a periodic basis and submit purchase orders for filled narsoplimab vials intended for commercial
use for confirmation by Vetter within an agreed time before the anticipated delivery date. Pricing for commercial manufacturing services varies based on
the number of batches ordered and may be adjusted periodically, subject to limitations specified in the agreement. For commercial-stage manufacturing,
each batch ordered must be for a quantity of finished units that is at least equal to a specified minimum but no more than a specified maximum per batch.
We may be obligated to pay certain fees to Vetter upon cancellation purchase orders or in connection with postponement of batches subject to a purchase
order. The agreement is effective with respect to the commercial work contemplated thereunder for an initial term five years after which it automatically
renews for two-year terms unless either party notifies the other party at least 12 months before the end of the then-current term that it does not intend to
renew. In addition, either party may terminate the agreement under certain circumstances, subject to applicable notice and cure periods. 
 
In addition to our agreements with Lonza and Vetter, we utilize a third-party vendor for labelling and final packaging of narsoplimab finished
goods. We expect to utilize one or more wholesalers for distribution of narsoplimab, if approved in the U.S. for commercial sale.
 
We have not entered into commercial supply agreements for any of our product candidates other than narsoplimab.
 
 
License and Development Agreements
 
MASP-3. In August 2020, we entered into a technology license agreement with Xencor, Inc., pursuant to which we received an exclusive license to
apply Xencor’s Xtend Fc technology to zaltenibart and options to access exclusive licenses to apply Xtend Fc technology to additional antibodies (the
“Xencor Agreement”). Exercise of an option to access additional licenses would require payment of a $3.0 million upfront license fee. With respect to each
antibody for which we license the Xencor technology we are obligated to make milestone payments of up to $65.0 million, comprised of $15.0 million in
development milestones, $25.0 million in regulatory milestones and $25.0 million in sales milestones. In August 2023, we paid $5.0 million to Xencor in
connection with the achievement of a development milestone in our zaltenibart program. We expect that an additional $10.0 million milestone payment will
become due during 2025, pending the anticipated achievement later this year of an additional clinical development milestone in our zaltenibart
program. We are obligated on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis to pay Xencor royalties in the mid-single digit percentage range on net
sales of any product covered by the license so long as there is a valid, subsisting and enforceable claim in any patents or patent applications covering the
licensed technology. Thereafter, the royalty rate is reduced to the low single-digit percentage range, if the applicable licensed product is covered by Xencor
know-how, or to zero, if the applicable licensed product is not covered by Xencor know-how. The term of the Xencor Agreement continues on a product-
by-product basis until the later of (i) expiration for the last-to-expire patent covering the licensed technology or (ii) five years from the date of first
commercial sale of the applicable product.

PDE7. Under an agreement with Daiichi Sankyo, we hold an exclusive worldwide license to PDE7 inhibitors claimed in certain patents and pending
patent applications owned by Daiichi Sankyo for use in the treatment of (1) movement disorders and other specified indications, (2) addiction and
compulsive disorders and (3) all other diseases except those related to dermatologic conditions. Under the agreement, we agreed to make milestone
payments to Daiichi Sankyo of up to an aggregate total of $33.5 million upon the achievement of certain events in each of these three fields; however, if
only one of the three indications is advanced through the milestones, the total milestone payments would be $23.5 million. The milestone payment events
include successful completion of preclinical toxicology studies; dosing of human subjects in Phase 1, 2 and 3 clinical trials; receipt of marketing approval
of a PDE7 inhibitor product candidate; and reaching specified sales milestones. In addition, Daiichi Sankyo is entitled to receive from us a low single-
digit percentage royalty of any net sales of a PDE7 inhibitor licensed under the agreement by us and/or our sublicensee(s) provided that, if the sales are
made by a sublicensee, then the amount payable by us to Daiichi Sankyo is capped at an amount equal to a low double-digit percentage of all royalty and
specified milestone payments received by us from the sublicensee.
 
The term of the agreement with Daiichi Sankyo continues so long as there is a valid, subsisting and enforceable claim in any patents covered by the
agreement. The agreement may be terminated sooner by us, with or without cause, upon 90 days advance written notice or by either party following a
material breach of the agreement by the other party that has not been cured within 90 days or immediately if the other party is insolvent or bankrupt.
Daiichi Sankyo also has the right to terminate the agreement if we and our sublicensee(s) cease to conduct all research, development and/or
commercialization activities for a PDE7 inhibitor covered by the agreement for a period of six consecutive months, in which case all rights held by us
under Daiichi Sankyo’s patents will revert to Daiichi Sankyo.

Competition
 
Overview. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry is highly competitive and characterized by a number of established, large pharmaceutical
and biotechnology companies as well as smaller companies like ours. We expect to compete with other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and
our competitors may:
 
●     develop and market products that are less expensive, more effective or safer than our future products;
 
●     commercialize competing products before we can launch our products;
 
●     operate larger research and development programs, possess greater manufacturing capabilities or have substantially greater financial resources
than we do;
 
●     initiate or withstand substantial price competition more successfully than we can;
 
●     have greater success in recruiting skilled technical and scientific workers from the limited pool of available talent;
 
●     more effectively negotiate third-party licenses and strategic relationships; and
 
●     take advantage of acquisition or other opportunities more readily than we can.
 
We expect to compete for market share against large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, smaller companies that are collaborating with
larger pharmaceutical companies, new companies, academic institutions, government agencies and other public and private research organizations. In
addition, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry is characterized by rapid technological change. Because our research approach integrates many
technologies, it may be difficult for us to remain current with the rapid changes in each technology. Further, our competitors may render our technologies
obsolete by advancing their existing technological approaches or developing new or different approaches. If we fail to stay at the forefront of technological
change, we may be unable to compete effectively.

Product Candidates, Development Programs and Platforms. There are a number of complement-targeted therapeutics that are in advanced stages of
clinical development, or which have been approved for commercial use. These include Soliris® (eculizumab), Ultomiris® (ravulizumab-cwvz),
Empaveli® (pegcetacoplan), Tavneos® (avocopan), PiaSky® (crovalimab-akkz), Voydeya (danicopan) and Fabhalta® (iptacopan). Narsoplimab,
OMS1029 and/or zaltenibart will face competition from branded and/or generic versions of one or more of these products if approved for any indication(s)
for which one or more of these potentially competitive products are also approved or for which a potentially competitive product is used off-label to treat a
relevant condition.
 
Intellectual Property 
 
We have retained control of all worldwide manufacturing, marketing and distribution rights for each of our product candidates and programs. Some of
our product candidates and programs are based on inventions and other intellectual property rights that we acquired through assignments, exclusive licenses
or acquisitions described in further detail under “License and Development Agreements” above.
 
As of March 31, 2025, we owned or held worldwide exclusive licenses to a total of 81 issued patents and 64 pending patent applications in the U.S.
and 1,443 issued patents and 655 pending patent applications in foreign markets directed to therapeutic compositions and methods and other technologies
related to our research and development programs. For each program, our decision to seek patent protection in specific foreign markets, in addition to the
U.S., is based on many factors, including one or more of the following: our available resources, the size of the commercial market, the presence of a
potential competitor or a contract manufacturer in the market and whether the legal authorities in the market effectively enforce patent rights.
 
●     MASP-2 Program - Narsoplimab (OMS721) and OMS1029. We own and hold worldwide exclusive licenses to rights in connection with MASP-2,
antibodies targeting MASP-2, small-molecule MASP-2 inhibitors, and related therapeutic applications. As of March 31, 2025, we exclusively
controlled 42 issued patents and 33 pending patent applications in the U.S., and 861 issued patents and 474 pending patent applications in foreign
markets, related to our MASP-2 program, including narsoplimab and our second-generation MASP-2 antibody OMS1029. Our MASP-2-related
patents have terms that will expire as late as 2038 and, if currently pending patent applications are issued, as late as 2043.
 
●     MASP-3 Program - Zaltenibart (OMS906). We own and exclusively control rights in connection with MASP-3, antibodies targeting MASP-3 and
related therapeutic applications. We also hold an exclusive license from Xencor, Inc. for the application of certain antibody technology to
zaltenibart, as well as the option to obtain additional licenses to such technology for exclusive application to additional antibodies that we may
select. As of March 31, 2025, we exclusively controlled five issued patents and eight pending patent applications in the U.S. and 212 issued and
109 pending patent applications in foreign markets that are related to our MASP-3 program. Our MASP-3-related patents have terms that will
expire as late as 2037 and, if currently pending patent applications are issued, as late as 2043.
 
●     PPARγ Program - OMS405. As of March 31, 2025, we owned three issued patents and one pending patent application in the U.S., and 42 issued
patents and one pending patent application in foreign markets, directed to our discoveries linking PPARγ and addictive disorders. Our PPARγ-
related patents have terms that will expire as late as 2030.
 
●     PDE7 Program - OMS527. As of March 31, 2025, we owned two issued patents and two pending patent applications in the U.S., and 61 issued
patents and seven pending patent applications in foreign markets directed to our discoveries linking PDE7 to movement disorders, as well as three
issued patents and two pending patent applications in the U.S., and 54 issued patents and six pending patent applications in foreign markets
directed to the link between PDE7 and addiction and compulsive disorders. Additionally, under a license from Daiichi Sankyo, we exclusively
control rights to two issued U.S. patents and 53 issued patents in foreign markets that are directed to proprietary PDE7 inhibitors. Our PDE7-
related patents have terms that will expire as late as 2031 and, if currently pending patent applications are issued, as late as 2043. For a more
detailed description of our agreement with Daiichi Sankyo, see “License and Development Agreements” above.

●     Oncology Program. Our oncology program comprises novel platforms and technologies related to potential therapies for cancer. We are operating
the oncology program in stealth mode as we continue to confirm our results and to generate new data which we expect will contribute to our
intellectual property position. As of March 31, 2025, we had two patent applications pending in the U.S. directed to a potential cancer therapeutic
derived from our oncology platform.
 
All of our employees enter into our standard employee proprietary information and inventions agreement, which includes confidentiality provisions
and provides us ownership of all inventions and other intellectual property made by our employees that pertain to our business or that relate to our
employees’ work for us or that result from the use of our resources. Our commercial success will depend in part on obtaining and maintaining patent
protection and trade secret protection of the use, formulation and structure of our product candidates and the methods used to manufacture them, as well as
on our ability to defend successfully these patents against third-party challenges. Our ability to protect our product candidates from unauthorized making,
using, selling, offering to sell or importing by third parties is dependent on the extent to which we have rights under valid and enforceable patents that
cover these activities.
 
The patent positions of pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other life sciences companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual
questions for which important legal principles remain unresolved. No consistent policy regarding the breadth of claims allowed in biotechnology patents
has emerged to date in the U.S., and tests used for determining the patentability of patent claims in all technologies are in flux. The pharmaceutical,
biotechnology and other life sciences patent situation outside the U.S. is even more uncertain. Changes in either the patent laws or in interpretations of
patent laws in the U.S. and other countries may diminish the value of our intellectual property. Accordingly, we cannot predict the breadth of claims that
may be allowed or enforced in the patents that we own or have licensed or in third-party patents.
 
We have registered, and intend to maintain, the trademark “OMEROS”, as well as the associated “alpha/omega” logo within the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office (“USPTO”) and various foreign jurisdictions in connection with the products and services we offer. We also have registered and pending
trademark applications within the USPTO and in certain foreign jurisdictions directed to the trademark “YARTEMLEA”, the brand name under which we
expect to market narsoplimab if the drug is approved for commercial sale. We are not aware of any material claims of infringement or other challenges to
our right to use our trademarks in the U.S. or any other jurisdiction.
 
Government Regulation 
 
Government authorities in the U.S., the EU and other countries extensively regulate the research, development, testing, manufacture, labeling,
promotion, advertising, distribution, marketing, and export and import of drug and biologic products including the product candidates that we are
developing. Failure to comply with applicable requirements, both before and after receipt of regulatory approval, may subject us, our third-party
manufacturers, and other partners to administrative and judicial sanctions, such as warning letters, product recalls, product seizures, a delay in approving or
refusal to approve pending applications, civil and other monetary penalties, total or partial suspension of production or distribution, injunctions, and/or
criminal prosecutions.
 
In the U.S., our product candidates are regulated by FDA as drugs or biologics under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”) and
implementing regulations and under the Public Health Service Act (“PHSA”). In the EU, our product candidates are regulated by the EMA and national
medicines regulators under the rules governing medicinal products in the EU as well as national regulations in individual countries. Our product candidates
are in various stages of testing and none of our product candidates has received marketing approval from FDA or the applicable regulatory authorities in the
EU.

The steps required before a product may be approved for marketing by FDA, or the applicable regulatory authorities outside of the U.S., typically
include the following:
 
●     formulation development and manufacturing process development;
 
●     preclinical laboratory and animal testing;
 
●     submission to FDA of an Investigational New Drug application (“IND”) for human clinical testing, which must become effective before human
clinical trials may begin; in the EU Member States and in European Economic Area countries a Clinical Trial Application (“CTA”) is submitted to
the Clinical Trials Information System; in other countries outside of the U.S. and Europe, a CTA is filed according to the country’s local
regulations;
 
●     adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials to establish the efficacy and safety of the product for each indication for which approval is
sought;
 
●     adequate assessment of drug product stability to determine shelf life/expiry dating;
 
●     in the U.S., submission to FDA of a New Drug Application (“NDA”), in the case of a drug product, or a BLA in the case of a biologic product
and, in Europe, submission to the EMA or a national regulatory authority of an MAA;
 
●     satisfactory completion of inspections of one or more clinical sites at which clinical trials with the product were carried out and of the
manufacturing facility or facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance with Good Clinical Practices (“GCP”), and cGMP; and
 
●     FDA review and approval of an NDA or BLA, or review and approval of an MAA by the applicable regulatory authorities in the EU.
 
Manufacturing. Manufacturing of drug products for use in clinical trials must be conducted according to relevant national and international guidelines,
for example, cGMP. Process and formulation development are undertaken to design suitable routes to manufacture the drug substance and the drug product
for administration to animals or humans. Analytical development is undertaken to obtain methods to quantify the potency, purity and stability of the drug
substance and drug product as well as to measure the amount of the drug substance and its metabolites in biological fluids, such as blood.
 
Preclinical Tests. Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations and animal studies to assess efficacy, toxicity and pharmacokinetics. The results of the
preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information, analytical data, clinical development plan, and other available information are submitted as part
of an IND or CTA.
 
The IND/CTA Process. An IND or CTA must become effective before human clinical trials may begin. INDs are extensive submissions including,
among other things, the results of the preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data. In addition to including the results of
the preclinical studies, the IND will also include one or more protocols for proposed clinical trials detailing, among other things, the objectives of the
clinical trial, the parameters to be used in monitoring safety and the effectiveness criteria to be evaluated. An IND will become effective 30 days after
receipt by FDA unless, before that time, FDA raises concerns or questions and imposes a clinical hold. In that event, the IND sponsor and FDA must
resolve any outstanding FDA concerns or questions before the clinical hold is lifted and clinical trials can proceed. Similarly, a CTA must be cleared by the
local independent ethics committee and competent authority prior to conducting a clinical trial in the country in which it was submitted. There can be no
assurance that submission of an IND or CTA will result in authorization to commence clinical trials. Once an IND or CTA is in effect, there are certain
reporting requirements.

Clinical Trials. Clinical trials involve the administration of the investigational product to human subjects under the supervision of qualified personnel
and must be conducted in accordance with local regulations and GCP. Clinical trials are conducted under protocols detailing, for example, the parameters to
be used in monitoring patient safety and the efficacy criteria, or endpoints, to be evaluated. Each trial must be reviewed and approved by an independent
institutional review board or ethics committee for each clinical site at which the trial will be conducted before it can begin. Clinical trials are typically
conducted in three defined phases, but the phases may overlap or be combined:
 
●     Phase 1 usually involves the initial administration of the investigational product to human subjects, who may or may not have the disease or
condition for which the product is being developed, to evaluate the safety, dosage tolerance, pharmacodynamics and, if possible, to gain an early
indication of the effectiveness of the product.
 
●     Phase 2 usually involves trials in a limited patient population with the disease or condition for which the product is being developed to evaluate
appropriate dosage, to identify possible adverse side effects and safety risks, and to evaluate preliminarily the effectiveness of the product for
specific indications.
 
●     Phase 3 clinical trials usually further evaluate and confirm effectiveness and test further for safety by administering the product in its final form in
an expanded patient population.
 
We, our product development partners, institutional review boards or ethics committees, FDA or other regulatory authorities may suspend or terminate
clinical trials at any time on various grounds, including a belief that the subjects are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk.
 
Disclosure of Clinical Trial Information. Sponsors of clinical trials of certain FDA-regulated products, including prescription drugs, are required to
register and disclose certain clinical trial information on ClinicalTrials.gov, a public website maintained by the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
Information related to the product, patient population, phase of investigation, study sites and investigator, and other aspects of an applicable clinical trial is
made public as part of the registration. Sponsors are also obligated to disclose the results of such trials after completion. Disclosure of the results of these
trials can be delayed for up to two years if the sponsor certifies that it is seeking approval of an unapproved product or that it will file an application for
approval of a new indication for an approved product within one year. Clinical trials conducted in European countries are required to be registered at a
similar public database maintained and overseen by European health authorities. Competitors may use this publicly available information to gain
knowledge regarding the design and progress of our development programs.
 
The Application Process. If the necessary clinical trials are successfully completed, the results of the preclinical trials and the clinical trials, together
with other detailed information, including information on the manufacture and composition of the product, are submitted to FDA in the form of an NDA or
a BLA, as applicable, and to the EMA or national regulators in the form of an MAA, requesting approval to market the product for a specified indication.
In the EU, an MAA may be submitted to the EMA for review and, if the EMA gives a positive opinion, the EC may grant a marketing authorization that is
valid across the EU (centralized procedure). Alternatively, an MAA may be submitted to one or more national regulators in the EU according to one of
several national or decentralized procedures. The type of submission in Europe depends on various factors and must be cleared by the appropriate authority
prior to submission. For most of our product candidates, the centralized procedure will be either mandatory or available as an option.
 
If the regulatory authority determines that the application is not acceptable, it may refuse to accept the application for filing and review, outlining the
deficiencies in the application and specifying additional information needed to file the application. Notwithstanding the submission of any requested
additional testing or information, the regulatory authority ultimately may decide that the proposed product is not safe or effective, or that the application
does not otherwise satisfy the criteria for approval. In the U.S., to support an approval an NDA must demonstrate, among other things, that the proposed
drug product is safe and effective, has a favorable benefit-risk profile, is manufactured in a way that preserves its identity, strength, purity and potency, and
that its labeling is adequate and not false or misleading. A similar standard exists for BLAs. Before approving an NDA or BLA, or an MAA, FDA or the
EMA, respectively, may inspect one or more of the clinical sites at which the clinical studies were conducted to ensure that GCP were followed and may
inspect facilities at which the product is manufactured to ensure satisfactory compliance with cGMP. The FDA may refer the NDA or BLA to an advisory
committee for review and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under what conditions. The FDA is not bound by the
recommendation of an advisory committee, but it generally follows such recommendation. In addition, even if a product candidate satisfied its endpoints
with statistical significance during clinical trials, FDA could determine that the overall balance of risks and benefits for the product candidate is not
adequate to support approval, or only justifies approval for a narrow set of clinical uses and/or subject to restricted distribution or other burdensome post-
approval requirements or limitations. If approval is obtained changes to the approved product such as adding new indications, manufacturing changes, or
additional labeling claims will require submission of a supplemental application, referred to as a variation in the EU, or, in some instances, a new
application, for further review and approval. The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort, and financial resources, and we cannot be
sure that any future approval will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.

Some of our product candidates, such as those from our MASP-2 and MASP-3 programs, are considered biologics because they are proteins that are
greater than 40 amino acids in size. The added complexity associated with manufacturing biologics may result in additional monitoring of the
manufacturing process and product changes.
 
In addition, we, our suppliers and our contract manufacturers are required to comply with extensive regulatory requirements both before and after
approval. For example, we must establish a pharmacovigilance system and are required to report adverse reactions and production problems, if any, to the
regulatory authorities. If any of our product candidates are approved, we will be required to also comply with certain requirements concerning advertising
and promotion for our products. The regulatory authorities may impose specific obligations as a condition of the marketing authorization, such as
additional safety monitoring, or the conduct of additional clinical trials or post-marketing safety studies, or the imposition of a Risk Evaluation and
Mitigation Strategy (“REMS”), which could include significant restrictions on distribution or use of the product. Also, quality control and manufacturing
procedures must continue to conform to cGMP after approval. Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money, and effort in all areas of
regulatory compliance, including production and quality control to comply with cGMP. In addition, discovery of problems such as safety issues may result
in changes in labeling or restrictions on a product manufacturer or marketing authorization holder, including removal of the product from the market.
 
Fast-Track and Priority Review Designations. Section 506(b) of the FDCA provides for the designation of a drug as a fast-track product if it is
intended, whether alone or in combination with one or more other drugs, for the treatment of a serious or life-threatening disease or condition, and it
demonstrates the potential to address unmet medical needs for such a disease or condition. A program with fast-track status is afforded greater access to
FDA for the purpose of expediting the product’s development, review and potential approval. Many products that receive fast-track designation are also
considered appropriate to receive priority review, and their respective applications may be accepted by FDA as a rolling submission in which portions of an
NDA or BLA are reviewed before the complete application is submitted. Together, these may reduce time of development and FDA review time. In
Europe, products that are considered to be of major public health interest are eligible for accelerated assessment, which shortens the review period. The
grant of fast-track status, priority review or accelerated assessment does not alter the standard regulatory requirements for obtaining marketing approval.
 
Breakthrough Therapy Designation. In 2012, Congress enacted the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act. This law established a
regulatory process allowing for increased interactions with FDA with the goal of expediting development and review of products designated as
“breakthrough therapies.” A product may be designated as a breakthrough therapy if it is intended, either alone or in combination with one or more other
products, to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the product may demonstrate substantial
improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical
development. The FDA may take certain actions with respect to breakthrough therapies, including holding meetings with the sponsor throughout the
development process; providing timely advice to the product sponsor regarding development and approval; involving more senior staff in the review
process; assigning a cross-disciplinary project lead for the review team; and taking other steps to design the clinical trials in an efficient manner.

Accelerated Approval. The FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product for a serious or life-threatening condition that provides a meaningful
therapeutic advantage to patients over existing treatments based upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogate endpoint that is
reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA may also grant accelerated approval for such a condition when the product has an effect on an
intermediate clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality and that is reasonably likely to predict an
effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. In both cases, FDA must take into account the severity, rarity, or prevalence of the
condition and the availability or lack of alternative treatments. Studies that are conducted to demonstrate a drug’s effect on a surrogate or intermediate
clinical endpoint for accelerated approval must be adequate and well-controlled as required by the FDCA.
 
Following accelerated approval, FDA requires that companies conduct confirmatory studies post-approval to verify and describe the anticipated effect
on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. FDA may also impose restrictions on distribution to assure safe use. Pursuant to statutory
authority under the Food and Drug Omnibus Reform Act of 2022, FDA can require confirmatory studies to be underway at the time of the accelerated
approval. If the required confirmatory studies fail to verify and describe the clinical benefit of the drug, or if the applicant fails to perform the required
confirmatory studies with due diligence, FDA may withdraw approval of the drug under expedited procedures. FDA may also withdraw approval of a drug
if, among other things, other evidence demonstrates that the drug product is not shown to be safe or effective under its conditions of use.
 
The EU also has accelerated approval programs. In the EU, a marketing authorization may be granted on the basis of less complete data than are
normally required in certain “exceptional circumstances,” such as when the product’s indication is encountered so rarely that the applicant cannot
reasonably be expected to provide comprehensive data. Alternatively, a conditional marketing authorization may be granted prior to obtaining the
comprehensive clinical data required for a full MAA if a product fulfills an unmet medical need and the benefit to public health of the product’s immediate
availability outweighs the risk inherent in the incomplete data.
 
Orphan Drug Designation. Under the Orphan Drug Act (“ODA”), FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs or biologics intended to treat a
rare disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the U.S. or more than 200,000 individuals in the U.S. for which the cost of
developing and making the product available in the U.S. for the applicable disease or condition is not likely to be recovered from U.S. sales for that
product. The grant of orphan designation does not alter the standard regulatory requirements (other than payment of certain fees and the applicability of
certain pediatric assessment requirements), nor does it alter the standards or process for obtaining marketing approval. The sponsor of a product that has an
orphan drug designation qualifies for various development incentives specified in the ODA, including a tax credit of up to 25% of expenditures on
qualified clinical testing for the orphan drug. Furthermore, if the orphan designated product subsequently receives the first FDA approval for the orphan
indication, the product is entitled to an orphan drug exclusivity period, which means that FDA may not grant approval to any other application to market
the same drug for the same indication for a period of seven years except in limited circumstances, such as a showing of clinical superiority to the product
with orphan drug exclusivity for the protected indication. Orphan drug exclusivity does not prevent FDA from approving a different drug for the same
disease or condition, or the same drug for a different disease or condition. The EU has a similar Orphan Drug program to that of the U.S., and it is
administered through the EMA’s Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products.
 
Pediatric Testing and Exclusivity. In the U.S., NDAs and BLAs are subject to both mandatory pediatric testing requirements and voluntary pediatric
testing incentives in the form of exclusivity. An additional six months of exclusivity in the U.S. may be granted to a sponsor of an NDA or BLA if the
sponsor conducts certain pediatric studies, which studies are conducted pursuant to a written request from FDA. This process is initiated when FDA issues
a Written Request for pediatric studies to determine if the drug or biologic could have meaningful pediatric health benefits. If FDA determines that the
sponsor has conducted the requested pediatric studies in accordance with the written request, then an additional six months of exclusivity may attach in the
case of a drug to any other regulatory exclusivity or patent protection applicable to the drug and, in the case of a biologic, to any other regulatory
exclusivity applicable to the biologic. The EU has a similar requirement and incentive for the conduct of pediatric studies according to the pediatric
investigation plan, which must be adopted by the EMA before an MAA may be submitted.

Expanded Access. “Expanded access” refers to the use of an investigational drug where the primary purpose is to diagnose, monitor, or treat a patient’s
disease or condition rather than to collect information about the safety or effectiveness of a drug. There are three FDA-recognized categories of expanded
access trials: expanded access for individual patients, including for emergency use; expanded access for intermediate-size patient populations; and
expanded access for large patient populations under a treatment IND or treatment protocol. For all types of expanded access, FDA must determine prior to
authorizing expanded access that: (1) the patient or patients to be treated have a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and there is no comparable
or satisfactory alternative therapy; (2) the potential patient benefit justifies the potential risks of use and that the potential risks are not unreasonable in the
context of the disease or condition to be treated; and (3) granting the expanded access will not interfere with the initiation, conduct, or completion of
clinical studies in support of the drug’s approval. Only a licensed physician or the drug’s manufacturer may apply for expanded access. Manufacturers are
not required to supply the investigational product for expanded access. The FDA has established streamlined processes for physicians to request individual
patient expanded access whereby physicians can submit a single patient IND. In cases of individual patient emergency expanded access, physicians can
receive FDA approval for access by phone and follow up with the abbreviated form. In addition, the sponsor of an expanded access IND must submit IND
safety reports and, in the cases of protocols continuing for one year or longer, annual reports to FDA.
 
U.S. Labeling, Marketing and Promotion. The FDA closely regulates the labeling, marketing and promotion of drugs. In general, our labeling and
promotion must not be false or misleading in any particular, and claims that we make must be adequately substantiated. In addition, our approved labeling
must include adequate directions to physicians for each intended use of our products. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in adverse
publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising, injunctions and potential civil and criminal penalties.
 
In addition to regulation by FDA, the research, manufacturing, distribution, sale and promotion of drug products in the U.S. are subject to regulation by
various federal, state and local authorities, including CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (e.g., the Office of
Inspector General), the U.S. Department of Justice, state Attorneys General, and other state and local government agencies. All of these activities are also
potentially subject to federal and state consumer protection and unfair competition laws. Violations of these laws are punishable by prison sentences,
criminal fines, administrative civil money penalties, and exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs.
 
There are also an increasing number of state laws that require manufacturers to make reports to states on pricing and marketing information or impose
other special requirements for the sale and marketing of drug products. Many of these laws contain ambiguities as to what is required to comply with the
laws. In addition, federal and state “transparency laws” require manufacturers to track and report certain payments made to health care providers and, under
some state laws, other information concerning our products. These laws may affect our sales, marketing and other promotional activities by imposing
administrative and compliance burdens on us. In addition, our reporting actions could be subject to the penalty provisions of the pertinent state and federal
authorities.
 
Drug Supply Chain Security Act. Title II (the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (the “DSCSA”)), of the Drug Quality and Security Act imposes on
manufacturers of certain pharmaceutical products new obligations related to product tracking and tracing, among others, which began a several-year phase-
in process in 2015. Among the requirements of this legislation, manufacturers subject to the DSCSA are required to provide certain documentation
regarding the drug product to trading partners to which product ownership is transferred, label drug product with a product identifier (i.e., serialize),
respond to verification requests from trading partners, provide transaction documentation upon request by federal or state government entities, and keep
certain records regarding the drug product. The transfer of information to subsequent product owners by manufacturers must be done electronically. For
products and transactions falling within DSCSA’s scope, manufacturers are required to verify that purchasers of the manufacturers’ products are
appropriately licensed. Further, under the DSCSA, covered manufacturers have drug product investigation, quarantine, disposition, and notification
responsibilities for product that is reasonably believed or that credible evidence shows to be counterfeit, diverted, stolen, intentionally adulterated such that
the product would result in serious adverse health consequences or death, the subject of fraudulent transactions or otherwise unfit for distribution such that
they would be reasonably likely to result in serious health consequences or death. Anti-counterfeiting and serialization requirements similar to those under
the DSCSA have also been adopted in the EU and became effective in February 2019.

Foreign Regulatory Requirements. Outside of the U.S., our ability to conduct clinical trials or market our products will also depend on receiving the
requisite authorizations from the appropriate regulatory authorities. The foreign regulatory approval processes include similar requirements and many of
the risks associated with FDA and/or the EU approval process described above, although the precise requirements may vary from country to country.
 
Hatch-Waxman Act. In seeking approval for a drug through an NDA, applicants are required to list with FDA each patent with claims that cover the
applicant’s drug or an approved method of use of the drug. Upon approval of a drug, each of the patents listed in the application for the drug is then
published in FDA’s Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, commonly known as the Orange Book. Drugs listed in the Orange
Book can, in turn, be cited by potential competitors in support of approval of an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) or a 505(b)(2) application.
In this case the original NDA, i.e., the pioneer drug, is known as the “listed” drug or “reference-listed” drug. An ANDA provides for marketing of a drug
that has the same active ingredients and, in some cases, also the same inactive ingredients, in the same strengths, route of administration and dosage form
as the listed drug and has been shown through testing to be bioequivalent to the listed drug or receives a waiver from bioequivalence testing. ANDA
applicants are generally not required to conduct or submit results of preclinical or clinical tests to prove the safety or effectiveness of their drug, other than
the requirement for bioequivalence testing. Drugs approved in this way are considered therapeutically equivalent, and are commonly referred to as “generic
equivalents” to the listed drug. These drugs then generally can be substituted by pharmacists under prescriptions written for the original listed drug.
 
The ANDA or 505(b)(2) applicant is required to certify to FDA concerning any patents listed for the referenced approved drug in FDA’s Orange Book.
Specifically, for each listed patent, the applicant must certify that: (1) the required patent information has not been filed; (2) the listed patent has expired;
(3) the listed patent has not expired but will expire on a particular date and approval is sought after patent expiration; or (4) the listed patent is invalid,
unenforceable or will not be infringed by the new drug. A certification that the new drug will not infringe the already approved drug’s listed patents or that
such patents are invalid or unenforceable is called a Paragraph IV certification. If the ANDA or 505(b)(2) applicant does not include a Paragraph IV
certification, the ANDA or 505(b)(2) application will not be approved until all of the listed patents claiming the referenced drug have expired, except for
any listed patents that only apply to uses of the drug not being sought by the ANDA or 505(b)(2) applicant.
 
If the ANDA or 505(b)(2) applicant has made a Paragraph IV certification, the applicant must also send a Paragraph IV Notice Letter to the NDA and
patent holders once the ANDA or 505(b)(2) application has been accepted for filing by FDA. The NDA and patent holders may then initiate a patent
infringement lawsuit in response to the Paragraph IV Notice Letter. The filing of a patent infringement lawsuit within 45 days of the receipt of a Paragraph
IV Notice Letter automatically prevents FDA from approving the ANDA until the earlier of 30 months, expiration of the patent, settlement of the lawsuit,
modification by a court or a decision in the infringement case that is favorable to the ANDA or 505(b)(2) applicant.
 
The ANDA or 505(b)(2) application also will not be approved until any applicable non-patent exclusivity, such as exclusivity for obtaining approval of
a new chemical entity, listed in the Orange Book for the reference-listed drug has expired. The U.S. Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration
Act of 1984, more commonly known as the Hatch-Waxman Act, provides a period of five years following approval of a drug containing no previously
approved active moiety, during which ANDAs for generic versions of those drugs and 505(b)(2) applications referencing those drugs cannot be submitted
unless the submission contains a Paragraph IV challenge to a listed patent, in which case the submission may be made four years following the original
drug approval. The Hatch-Waxman Act also provides for a period of three years of exclusivity following approval of a listed drug that contains previously
approved active ingredients but is approved in a new dosage form, route of administration or combination, or for a new use, the approval of which was
supported by new clinical trials other than bioavailability studies that were essential to the approval and conducted by or for the sponsor. During those
three years of exclusivity, FDA cannot grant approval of an ANDA or 505(b)(2) application for the protected dosage form, route of administration or
combination, or use of that listed drug.

In December 2019, the Creating and Restoring Equal Access to Equivalent Samples Act of 2019 (“CREATES Act”) was signed into law. The
legislation is intended to address the concern that some brand manufacturers have improperly denied generic and biosimilar product developers access to
samples of brand products. The CREATES Act establishes a private cause of action that permits a generic or biosimilar product developer to sue the brand
manufacturer to compel it to furnish the necessary samples on commercially reasonable, market-based terms. If the developer prevails, the court may grant
the developer a monetary award up to the brand product’s revenue for the period of delay in providing samples.
 
Biosimilars. The enactment of federal healthcare reform legislation in March 2010 provided a new pathway for approval of follow-on biologics (i.e.,
biosimilars) under the PHSA. FDA licensure of a biosimilar is dependent upon many factors, including a showing that the proposed biosimilar is “highly
similar” to the reference product, notwithstanding minor differences in clinically inactive components, and has no clinically meaningful differences from
the reference product in terms of safety, purity, and potency. The types of data ordinarily required in a biosimilar application to show high similarity include
analytical data, animal studies (including toxicity studies), and clinical studies (including immunogenicity and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies).
A biosimilar must seek licensure for a condition of use for which the reference-listed product is licensed.
 
Furthermore, the PHSA provides that for a biosimilar to be considered “interchangeable” (i.e., the biological product may be substituted for the
reference product without the intervention of the health care provider who prescribed the reference product), the applicant must make an additional
showing that the biosimilar can be expected to produce the same clinical result as the reference product in any given patient, and if the product is
administered more than once to a patient, that risks in terms of safety or diminished efficacy of alternating or switching between the biological product and
the reference product is no greater than the risk of using the reference product without switching. Although FDA has provided guidance on what
information and data an applicant should submit to enable an interchangeability determination, thus far FDA has not licensed any biologic as being
interchangeable with its reference product.
 
The PHSA also provides a period of exclusivity for pioneer biologics. Specifically, FDA may not accept a biosimilar application referencing data from
a pioneer biologic (i.e., one approved through a full BLA) until four years have elapsed from the date of first licensure of the pioneer biologic. FDA may
not approve a biosimilar application referencing data from a pioneer biologic until 12 years have elapsed since the date of first licensure of the pioneer
biologic. There are certain restrictions and limitations on the types of BLAs that are eligible for biologics exclusivity as well as what constitutes the date of
first licensure for a pioneer biologic.
 
In the EU, a pathway for the approval of biosimilars has existed since 2005.
 
Healthcare compliance laws. In the U.S., commercialization of our product candidates, if approved, is subject to regulation and enforcement under a
number of federal and state healthcare compliance laws administered and enforced by various agencies. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
●     the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits offering or paying anything of value to a person or entity to induce or reward referrals for
goods or services reimbursed by a federal healthcare program such as Medicare or Medicaid;
 
●     the federal False Claims Act, which prohibits presenting or causing to be presented a false claim for payment by a federal healthcare program, and
which has been interpreted to also include claims caused by improper drug-manufacturer product promotion or the payment of kickbacks;
 
●     a variety of governmental pricing, price reporting, and rebate requirements, including those under Medicaid and the Veterans Health Care Act; and
 
21

Table of Contents
 
●     the so-called Sunshine Act and certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act, which require that we report to the federal government information
on certain financial payments and other transfers of value made to certain health care providers and institutions, as well as certain information
regarding our distribution of drug samples.
 
In addition to these federal law requirements, several U.S. states have enacted similar laws requiring periodic reporting and/or disclosure related to our
marketing, sales and other activities, or regulating certain sales and marketing activities, such as provision of meals to certain health care providers. We
may also be subject to federal or state privacy laws if we receive protected patient health information or consumer health information.
 
Similar requirements apply to our operations outside of the U.S. Laws in the U.S. such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prohibit the offering or
payment of bribes or inducements to foreign public officials for business, including physicians or other medical professionals who are employees of public
healthcare entities. In addition, many non-U.S. jurisdictions in which we operate, or may operate in the future, have their own laws similar to the healthcare
compliance laws that exist in the U.S.
 
Pharmaceutical Pricing and Reimbursement 
 
Overview. In both U.S. and foreign markets, our ability to commercialize our product candidates successfully, and to attract commercialization partners
for our product candidates, depends in significant part on the availability of adequate financial coverage and reimbursement from third-party payers
including, in the U.S., managed care organizations and other private health insurers as well as governmental payers such as the Medicare and Medicaid
programs. Reimbursement by a third-party payer may depend on a number of factors, including the payer’s determination that use of a product is:
 
●     a covered benefit under its health plan;
 
●     safe, effective and medically necessary;
 
●     appropriate for the specific patient;
 
●     cost-effective; and
 
●     neither experimental nor investigational.
 
Reimbursement by government payers is based on statutory authorizations and complex regulations that may change with annual or more frequent
rulemaking, as well as legislative reform measures.
 
Third-party private and governmental payers are increasingly challenging the prices charged for medicines and examining their cost-effectiveness in
addition to their safety and efficacy. We may need to conduct expensive pharmacoeconomic studies in order to demonstrate the cost effectiveness of our
products or product candidates. Even with the availability of such studies, third-party private and/or governmental payers may not provide coverage and
reimbursement for our product candidates, in whole or in part.
 
United States. Political, economic and regulatory influences are subjecting the healthcare industry in the U.S. to fundamental changes. There have
been, and we expect there will continue to be legislative and regulatory proposals to change the healthcare system in ways that could significantly affect
our business. For example, legislation imposed a two percent across-the-board reduction to Medicare payments to providers, effective April 1, 2013, which,
due to subsequent legislative amendments, will begin to increase gradually starting in April 2030, reaching 4 percent in April 2031 and continuing until the
reduction ends in October 2031, unless additional congressional action is taken. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, among other things, reduced
Medicare payments to several providers, and increased the period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years.

Containment of healthcare costs has been a priority of federal, state, and foreign governments, and the prices of drug products have been a focus of this
effort. Governments have shown significant interest in implementing cost-containment programs. This interest has resulted in significant proposed and
enacted reform measures affecting healthcare reimbursement and drug pricing, including the enactment in August 2022 of significant changes to potential
Medicare drug product reimbursement through government negotiation of certain drug prices, as well as Medicare manufacturer discount and inflation
rebate obligations under the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”).
 
We are unable to predict what additionallegislation, regulations, policies, executive orders or court orders, if any, relating to the healthcare industry or
coverage and reimbursement may be enacted or imposed in the future or what effect such legislation, regulations, policies or court orders would have on
our business. Any cost-containment measures, including those listed above, or other healthcare system reforms that are adopted could have a material
adverse effect on our business prospects and financial operations.
 
Europe. Governments in the various member states of the EU influence or control the price of medicinal products in their countries through their
pricing and reimbursement rules and control of national healthcare systems that fund a large part of the cost of those products to consumers. To obtain
reimbursement or pricing approval, some of these countries may require the completion of clinical trials or pharmacoeconomic studies that assess the cost-
effectiveness of a product or product candidate relative to currently available therapies or relative to a specified standard. The downward pressure on
healthcare costs in general, and prescription medicines in particular, has become very intense and is creating increasingly high barriers to the entry of new
products in these markets.
 
Research and Development
 
We have built a research and development organization that includes expertise in discovery research, preclinical development, product formulation,
analytical and medicinal chemistry, manufacturing, clinical development and regulatory and quality assurance. We operate cross-functionally and are led by
an experienced management team. We strive to make disciplined strategic decisions regarding our research and development programs and to limit the risk
profile of our product pipeline. We also access relevant market information and key opinion leaders in creating target product profiles and, when
appropriate, as we advance our programs to commercialization. We engage third parties on a limited basis to conduct portions of our preclinical research;
however, we are not substantially dependent on any third parties for our preclinical research nor do any of these third parties conduct a major portion of our
preclinical research. We also engage multiple clinical sites to conduct our clinical trials and rely on third-party contract research organizations (“CROs”) to
coordinate and execute aspects of clinical trial operations. None of these CROs or clinical sites are responsible for the major portion of our clinical trials
and we are not substantially dependent on any one of them.
 
Employees 
 
As of December 31, 2024, we had 202 full-time employees, 136 of whom are in research and development, 19 of whom are in sales and marketing and
47 of whom are in finance, legal, business development and administration. Our full-time employees include seven with M.Ds and 41 with Ph.Ds., of
whom six and 40, respectively, are in research and development. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we consider our employee
relations to be good.

ITEM 1A.            RISK FACTORS 
 
The risks and uncertainties described below may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results. In
addition, we may be adversely affected by risks that we currently deem immaterial or by other risks that are not currently known to us. You should carefully
consider these risks before making an investment decision. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks and you may lose
all or part of your investment. In assessing the risks described below, you should also refer to the other information contained in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
 
Risks Related to Our Product Candidates, Programs and Operations
 
Management has concluded that a substantial doubt is deemed to exist concerning our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
As further discussed in Part II, Item 8, “Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation” to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K, substantial doubt exists regarding our ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the issuance of the Company's
consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going
concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern will require us to generate positive cash flow from operations, obtain additional financing, enter into
strategic alliances and/or sell assets.  Our limited cash resources, which are impacted by a covenant in the Credit Agreement requiring us to maintain $25.0
million of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at all times, and our potential inability to continue as a going concern may
materially adversely affect our share price and our ability to raise new capital, enter into strategic alliances and/or make our scheduled debt payments on a
timely basis or at all. If we become unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and the values we receive for our assets in
liquidation or dissolution could be significantly lower than the values reflected in our financial statements.
 
We have incurred cumulative operating losses since inception. If we are unable to raise additional capital when needed we may be unable to
complete the development and commercialization of our product candidates or to continue our other preclinical development programs. 
 
Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since our incorporation, As of December 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments of $90.1 million. Our cash used in operations was $148.8 million and our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 was
$156.8 million. Pursuant to a covenant in the Credit Agreement, we must maintain $25.0 million of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments at all times. We expect to continue to spend substantial amounts to:
 
●     initiate and conduct clinical trials and manufacture clinical and registration batches for our product candidates;
 
●     continue our research and development in our programs;
 
●     make principal, interest and fee payments as required under our 2026 Notes; 
 
●     make interest payments under the initial term loan of $67.1 million provided pursuant to the Credit Agreement (the “Initial Term Loan”); and
 
●     commercialize and launch product candidates for which we may receive regulatory approval.
 
We expect to continue to incur additional losses until such time as we generate significant revenue from the sale of commercial products or from
partnerships. We are unable to predict the extent of any future losses and cannot provide assurance that we will generate sufficient revenue from
commercial products in the future to fund our operations fully. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue from commercialized products or partnership
arrangements, we may never become and remain profitable and will be required to raise additional capital to continue to fund our operations. We cannot be
certain that additional capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, when required. Adverse developments to our financial condition or
business, as well as disruptions in the global equity and credit markets, may limit our ability to access capital. In addition, pursuing debt financings, certain
equity offerings or other strategic transactions may result in mandatory prepayments of the Initial Term Loan. If we do not raise additional capital when
needed through one or more funding avenues, such as debt or equity financings or corporate partnering, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or
discontinue the development or commercialization of one or more of our product candidates or one or more of our preclinical programs or other research
and development initiatives. In addition, we may be required to seek collaborators for one or more of our current or future products at an earlier stage than
otherwise would be desirable or on terms that are less favorable than otherwise might be available or to relinquish or license on unfavorable terms our
rights to technologies or products that we otherwise would seek to develop or commercialize ourselves. We also may have insufficient funds or otherwise
be unable to advance our preclinical programs to a point where they can generate revenue through partnerships, collaborations or other arrangements. Any
of these actions could limit the amount of revenue we are able to generate and harm our business and prospects.
 
Our Credit Agreement places restrictions on our operating and financial flexibility and could, if we were to default, adversely affect our liquidity
and ability to retain title to our assets.
 
We have borrowed approximately $67.1 million under the Credit Agreement and pledged substantially all of our assets, including our intellectual
property, as collateral. The Credit Agreement restricts or places conditions on, among other things, our ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, dispose of
assets, make investments, make acquisitions, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, pay cash dividends or make distributions, repurchase stock,
repurchase our 2026 Notes, license certain of our intellectual property on an exclusive basis and engage in significant business transactions such as a
change of control. Any of these restrictions could significantly limit our operating and financial flexibility and ability to respond to changes in our business
or competitive activities. The failure to satisfy these or other obligations under the Credit Agreement could constitute an event of default, which could
provide the lenders with a right to accelerate our repayment obligations under the Credit Agreement and to take control of our pledged assets, which
includes substantially all of our intellectual property assets. Upon acceleration of the Credit Agreement, we would be required to repay outstanding
amounts immediately or to attempt to reverse the declaration through negotiation or litigation. In addition, if an acceleration event were to occur under the
Credit Agreement and not be cured, the trustee or the holders of the 2026 Notes would have the right to accelerate our repayment obligations for all
principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the 2026 Notes then outstanding. If we are unable to repay amounts outstanding under the 2026 Notes and
Credit Agreement, we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation and we would lose title to substantially all of our assets, including our intellectual
property. In any related proceeding, the lenders’ right to repayment under the Credit Agreement would be senior to the right of repayment of the holders of
the 2026 Notes and the rights of both would be senior to the rights of the holders of our common stock. Any event of default could accordingly have a

material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition and liquidity, and could cause the price of our 2026 Notes and common stock to decline
significantly.
 
In addition to our Credit Agreement, our other indebtedness and liabilities and any future indebtedness could limit the cash flow available for our
operations and expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
As of December 31, 2024, we had $97.2 million total aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes outstanding, $67.1 million total aggregate
principal amount outstanding under the Initial Term Loan, and we had approximately $2.0 million of outstanding finance lease obligations. We may incur
additional indebtedness to meet future financing needs. As described above, our Credit Agreement places restrictions on our operating and financial
flexibility, and our other existing and future indebtedness could also have significant negative consequences for our security holders and our business,
results of operations and financial condition by, among other things:
 
●    requiring a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service and repay our indebtedness, which will reduce the amount of cash
available for other purposes;
 
●    limiting our ability to obtain additional financing;
 
●    limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business;
 
●    diluting the interests of our existing stockholders as a result of issuing shares of our common stock upon any conversion of the 2026 Notes;
 
●    placing us at a possible competitive disadvantage with competitors that are less leveraged than we are or have better access to capital; and
 
●    increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions.
 
Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on, or to refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance,
which is subject to many factors, including economic, financial, competitive and other circumstances beyond our control. Our business may not generate
sufficient funds, and we may otherwise be unable to maintain sufficient cash reserves, to pay amounts due under our indebtedness and our cash needs may
increase in the future. In addition, future indebtedness that we may incur may contain financial and other restrictive covenants that further limit our ability
to operate our business, raise capital or make payments under our other indebtedness. If we fail to comply with these covenants or to make payments under
our indebtedness when due, then we would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in that and our other indebtedness becoming
immediately payable in full.

Failure to obtain and maintain regulatory approval in the U.S. or in foreign jurisdictions would prevent us from commercializing and marketing
our product candidates.
 
The regulatory process is subject to substantial agency discretion and risks, including those described herein and elsewhere in these “Risk Factors.” In
October 2021, we received a CRL from FDA regarding our BLA for narsoplimab for the treatment of TA-TMA. In the CRL, FDA expressed difficulty in
estimating the treatment effect of narsoplimab in TA-TMA and asserted that additional information would be needed to support regulatory approval. We
appealed FDA’s decision to issue the CRL through a formal dispute resolution process that concluded in late 2022. Although our appeal was denied, the
decision identified a potential path for resubmission of the BLA based on inclusion of certain additional information and analyses. Based on the decision
and on subsequent interactions with FDA, we proposed a statistical analysis plan to assess data from our pivotal clinical trial, existing data from
an historical control population available from an external source and data from the narsoplimab expanded access program. The primary endpoint under the
analysis plan is patient survival in our pivotal narsoplimab trial compared to that in an external registry of TA-TMA patients who were not treated with
narsoplimab. Analyses similar to the primary analysis comparing survival in TA-TMA patients treated with narsoplimab under a global EAP to that of
similarly at-risk TA-TMA registry patients were also included in the analysis plan, along with sensitivity analyses related to each of the primary and EAP
comparisons. All statistical analyses were conducted by an independent statistical group. These data and analyses are included in our recently resubmitted
BLA for narsoplimab in TA-TMA. We expect also to include these data and analyses in the MAA for narsoplimab in this indication.
 
We cannot guarantee when or if FDA or EMA will approve narsoplimab for the treatment of TA-TMA. Even if our clinical data, data from our EAP
and statistical analyses comparing these data to an external registry of TA-TMA patients provide favorable evidence of the effectiveness of narsoplimab in
the treatment of TA-TMA, the reviewing agency may determine that such evidence is insufficient to support regulatory approval for any reason, including
unfavorable interpretation of our analysis results, potential differences between the diagnostic criteria used in our pivotal trial and in the external registry, a
determination by the reviewing agency that the registry used in our statistical analysis is insufficiently representative of TA-TMA patients to provide a
reliable control, FDA’s assessment of the comparability of the registry to the population in our pivotal trial, the sufficiency of our sensitivity analyses,
and/or the lack of additional control sources. Additionally, we do not currently have narsoplimab manufacturing slots scheduled with our contract
manufacturing partner and, if a pre-licensing inspection is requested in connection with agency review of our BLA or MAA, we may face difficulty in
securing manufacturing capacity to support such inspection at reasonable cost, or at all, our manufacturing partner may also fail to provide other needed
regulatory support on a timely basis, or at all. Any difficulties associated with our contract manufacturer’s support in connection with regulatory processes
could prevent or delay review and approval of our marketing application. Overall, the requirements for resubmission of our BLA have been and may
continue to be costly, require significant time and may not result in approval. Ultimately, we cannot guarantee that FDA or EMA will ever approve
narsoplimab for the treatment of TA-TMA or any other indication.
 
We also intend to market outside the U.S. any of our product candidates that are approved in the future. In order to market our products in non-U.S.
jurisdictions, we or our partners must obtain separate regulatory approvals and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements. The regulatory
approval procedure varies among countries and can involve additional testing and data review. The requirements governing marketing authorization, the
conduct of clinical trials, pricing and reimbursement vary from country to country. Approval by FDA does not ensure approval by the EMA, and approval
by one foreign regulatory authority does not ensure approval by regulatory agencies in other foreign countries or by FDA. The time required to obtain
regulatory approval outside the U.S. and EU may differ from that required to obtain FDA or EU approval. The foreign regulatory approval process may
include all of the risks associated with obtaining FDA approval discussed in these “Risk Factors” and we may not obtain foreign regulatory approvals on a
timely basis, or at all. In addition, even if we were able to obtain regulatory approval for a product in one or more foreign jurisdictions, we may need to
complete additional requirements to maintain that approval and our ability to market the product in the applicable jurisdiction.
 
If any product that we develop and commercialize does not receive adequate coverage or reimbursement from governments and/or private payers
our prospects for revenue and profitability would suffer.
 
The success of any product that we or our third-party business partners commercialize in the future will depend heavily on the pricing, availability and
duration of adequate coverage or reimbursement for any such product from government, private and other third-party payers, both in the U.S. and in other
countries.
 
There may be significant delays in obtaining coverage or reimbursement for newly approved products, and we may not be able to provide data
sufficient to be granted adequate coverage or reimbursement. Even when a payer determines that a product is eligible for reimbursement, coverage may be
limited to the uses of a product that are either approved by FDA (or, in other countries, the relevant country’s regulatory agency) and/or appear in a
recognized drug compendium, or other conditions may apply. Moreover, eligibility for coverage does not mean that any product will be reimbursed at a rate
that allows us to make a profit or at a rate that covers our costs, including research, development, manufacturing, sales and distribution. Increasingly,
government and private third-party payers that reimburse for healthcare services and products are requiring that companies provide them with
predetermined discounts from list prices and are challenging the prices charged for medical products, which could adversely impact the pricing of our
products. Any reduction in reimbursement from Medicare, including as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act, or other government programs may result in
a similar reduction in payments from private payers. Pricing may also be adversely affected by changes in the terms, scope and/or complexity of
government pricing requirements. Even if we achieve coverage or reimbursement for a product, the initial rate or method at which the product will be
reimbursed could become unfavorable to us at the time reimbursement is initiated or in the future or may be of a limited duration. In addition, obtaining
acceptable coverage and reimbursement from one payer does not guarantee that we will obtain similar acceptable coverage or reimbursement from another
payer.

Table of Contents
 
In non-U.S. jurisdictions, we must obtain separate reimbursement approvals and comply with related foreign legal and regulatory requirements. In
some countries, including those in the EU, our products may be subject to government price controls. Pricing negotiations with governmental authorities
can take a considerable amount of time and expenditure of resources after the receipt of marketing approval for a product. We provide no assurances that
the price of any product in one or more of these countries or regions will allow us to make a profit or cover our costs, including research, development,
manufacturing, sales and distribution, and as a result we may decide to delay, potentially indefinitely, initiating sales in the particular country or region.
 
If the reimbursement or pricing that we are able to obtain and maintain for any product that we develop and commercialize is inadequate, is
significantly delayed or is subject to overly restrictive conditions, our ability to generate revenue, attain profitability and/or commercialize our product
candidates may be impaired and there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects
and the trading price of our stock could decline.
 
Our ability to meet our future capital requirements is partially dependent on certain milestone and royalty payments that we are eligible to receive
based on Rayner’s sales of OMIDRIA, and, if sales of OMIDRIA are less than anticipated and/or Rayner is unable to expand sales of OMIDRIA
outside the U.S., our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected, the price of our common stock may decline
and we may be unable to access needed capital on favorable terms, or at all.
 
In February 2024, we sold to DRI an expanded interest in OMIDRIA royalties payable by Rayner. Pursuant to the Amendment with DRI, DRI is
entitled to receive all royalties on U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2031. We retain the right to receive all royalties
payable by Rayner on any net sales of OMIDRIA outside the U.S. as well as royalties on global net sales of OMIDRIA payable from and after December
31, 2031. We received $115.5 million upon closing of the Amendment. Additionally, we are eligible under the Amendment to receive two milestone
payments of up to $27.5 million each, payable in January 2026 and January 2028, respectively, based on achievement of certain thresholds for U.S. net
sales of OMIDRIA.
 
The royalty rate payable by Rayner on net sales of OMIDRIA is currently 30% in the United States and 15% outside the U.S. The royalty rate is
subject to further reduction to 10% of U.S. net sales upon the occurrence of certain events, including during any specific period in which OMIDRIA is no
longer eligible for separate payment. The availability of royalties from Rayner and/or milestone payments from DRI is dependent on Rayner’s net sales of
OMIDRIA and may be of lesser magnitude than anticipated or may not become payable at all. We cannot provide assurance that royalty income from
Rayner and/or milestone payments from DRI, if they become payable, will be a meaningful source of capital in the future. Sales-based royalty income and
milestone payments may be affected by any number of factors, including:
 
●     Rayner’s ability to successfully market and sell OMIDRIA in the U.S.;
 
●     whether, and to what extent, Rayner is able to expand sales of OMIDRIA outside the U.S.;
 
●     pricing, coverage and reimbursement policies of government and private payers such as Medicare, Medicaid, the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs, group purchasing organizations, insurance companies, health maintenance organizations and other plan administrators;
 
●     a lack of acceptance by physicians, patients and other members of the healthcare community;
 
●     interruptions in the supply of OMIDRIA;
 
●     the availability, relative price and efficacy of the product as compared to alternative treatment options or branded, compounded or generic
competing products;
 
●     an unknown safety risk; and
 
●     changed or increased regulatory restrictions in the U.S., EU and/or other foreign territories.
 
Our operating results are unpredictable and may fluctuate.
 
Our operating results are difficult to predict and will likely fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year. We believe that our quarterly and annual
results of operations may be affected by a variety of factors, including:
 
●    the extent and magnitude of certain payments to which we may be entitled based on Rayner’s net sales of OMIDRIA may be affected by the extent
of coverage and reimbursement for OMIDRIA, market acceptance of the product and Rayner’s ability to execute an effective sales strategy;
 
●     the extent of any payments received from any collaboration agreements or development funding arrangements that we may enter into from time to
time, as well as the extent of any payments that we are required to make under existing or future collaboration and license agreements, which may
include sales-based royalties and milestone payments based on the achievement of development, regulatory and sales milestones and may vary
significantly from quarter to quarter;
 
●     the timing, cost and level of investment in our research and development activities as well as expenditures we may incur to acquire or develop
additional technologies, product candidates, or in preparation for potential commercialization of our product candidates; and
 
●     whether we are able to obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, the extent and timing of revenue from sales of any such
approved product and the magnitude and timing of expenses associated with the manufacturing and sale of any such approved product.
 
Any of these risk factors, should one or more occur, could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and cause the trading price
of our stock to decline.

Significant changes to the size, structure, powers and operations of the U.S. federal government, as well as recent policy actions by the U.S. federal
government, may cause economic disruptions that could, in turn, adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial conditions.
 
The new administration has begun to implement significant changes to the size and scope of the federal government to achieve stated goals including
reducing the federal budget deficit and national debt, improving the efficiency of government operations, and promoting innovation and economic growth.
To date, these efforts have been carried out through a mix of executive actions aimed at eliminating or modifying federal agency and federal program
funding, reducing the size of the federal workforce, reducing or altering the scope of activities conducted by, and possibly eliminating, various federal
agencies and bureaus. If implemented, these changes may have varied effects on the economy that are difficult to predict. For instance, the delivery of
government services and the distribution of federal program funds and benefits may be disrupted or, in some cases, eliminated as a result of funding cuts,
recasting of federal agency mandates or a substantial reduction of the federal workforce. We rely on the availability, predictability and efficiency of federal
agencies including FDA, NIDA and others in connection with the operation of our business and programs. Our business, financial condition and results of
operations could be materially and adversely affected by disruptions affecting these or other agencies in areas relevant to our programs and operations.
 
In addition, recent policy actions by the new U.S. administration, including the imposition of new tariffs on imported materials and goods from certain
foreign countries, including Canada, Mexico and China, and the temporary freeze on federal grants and loans, may have an adverse impact on our business.
Increased tariffs on critical raw materials, components, and finished goods could raise our production costs, disrupt our supply chain, and reduce our
competitiveness in the marketplace. Additionally, the administration's halt on certain federal research grants may negatively impact our industry. Any
prolonged reductions in such funding could slow innovation, delay collaborations, and limit the adoption of new technologies that contribute to our
business growth. If these or similar policy changes continue or expand, we may face increased costs. Although we cannot predict the full extent of these
impacts, any prolonged disruption could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
We are subject to extensive government regulation and the failure to comply with these regulations may have a material adverse effect on our
operations and business.
 
Both before and after approval of any product, we and our suppliers, contract manufacturers and clinical investigators are subject to extensive
regulation by governmental authorities in the U.S. and other countries, covering, among other things, testing, manufacturing, quality control, clinical trials,
post-marketing studies, reporting, risk management plans, labeling, advertising, promotion, distribution, import and export, governmental pricing, price
reporting and rebate requirements. Failure to comply with applicable requirements could result in one or more of the following actions: warning letters;
unanticipated expenditures; delays in approval or refusal to approve a product candidate; product recall or seizure; interruption of manufacturing or clinical
trials; operating or marketing restrictions; injunctions; criminal prosecution and civil or criminal penalties including fines and other monetary penalties;
adverse publicity; and disruptions to our business. Further, government investigations into potential violations of these laws would require us to expend
considerable resources and face adverse publicity and the potential disruption of our business even if we are ultimately found not to have committed a
violation.
 
Obtaining FDA approval of our product candidates requires substantial time, effort and financial resources and may be subject to both expected and
unforeseen delays, and there can be no assurance that any approval will be granted on any of our product candidates on a timely basis, if at all. As was the
case with our BLA for narsoplimab in TA-TMA, with respect to which FDA issued a CRL, even after collaborating closely with FDA or regulators with
corollary responsibilities in jurisdictions outside the U.S. regarding the contents of a marketing application a regulator may decide that the design of our
clinical trials or clinical data collection protocols as actually run, or our resulting data, are insufficient for approval of our product candidates. FDA or other
regulators may require us to run additional preclinical, clinical or other studies or perform additional work related to chemistry, manufacturing and controls.
In addition, we, FDA or an independent institutional review board or ethics committee may suspend or terminate human clinical trials at any time on
various grounds, including a finding that the patients are or would be exposed to an unacceptable health risk or because of the way in which the
investigators on whom we rely carry out the trials. We are subject to extensive government regulation of the testing of our investigational products,
including the requirement that we conduct all of our clinical trials in accordance with FDA’s GCP requirements and similar requirements outside of the
U.S. If we are unable to comply with these requirements, if we are required to conduct additional trials or to conduct other testing of our product candidates
beyond that which we currently contemplate for regulatory approval, if we are unable to complete our clinical trials or other testing successfully, or if the
results of these and other trials or tests fail to demonstrate efficacy or raise safety concerns, we may face substantial additional expenses, be delayed in
obtaining marketing approval for our product candidates or may never obtain marketing approval.
 
We are also required to comply with extensive governmental regulatory requirements after a product has received marketing authorization. Governing
regulatory authorities may require post-marketing studies that may negatively impact the commercial viability of a product. Once on the market, a product
may become associated with previously undetected adverse effects and/or may develop manufacturing difficulties. We are required to comply with other
post-marketing requirements including cGMP, advertising and promotion restrictions, pharmacovigilance requirements including risk management
activities, reporting and recordkeeping obligations, and other requirements. As a result of any of these or other problems or failure to comply with our
regulatory obligations, a product’s regulatory approval could be withdrawn, which could harm our business and operating results. In addition, we must
maintain an effective healthcare compliance program in order to comply with U.S. and other laws applicable to marketed drug products and, in particular,
laws (such as the Anti-Kickback Statute, the False Claims Act and the Sunshine Act) applicable when drug products are reimbursed by a federal or state
healthcare program. U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prohibit the offering or payment of bribes or inducements to foreign public
officials, including potentially physicians or other medical professionals who are employees of public healthcare entities in jurisdictions outside the U.S. In
addition, many countries have their own laws similar to the healthcare compliance laws that exist in the U.S. Implementing and maintaining an effective
compliance program requires the expenditure of significant time and resources. If we are found to be in violation of any of these laws, we may be subject to
significant penalties, including but not limited to civil or criminal penalties, damages and fines as well as exclusion from government healthcare programs.
 
We may face difficulties from changes to current regulations as well as future legislation, including as a result of the new U.S. administration.
 
Existing regulatory policies may change and additional government regulations may be enacted that could prevent, limit or delay regulatory approval
of our product candidates. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or
administrative action, either in the U.S. or abroad. If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new
requirements or policies, or if we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we may lose any marketing approval that we may have obtained and we
may not achieve or sustain profitability.

Any reduction in reimbursement from Medicare resulting from the IRA or other legislative or policy changes or from other government programs may
result in a similar reduction in payments from private payers. These healthcare reforms and the implementation of any future cost containment measures or
other reforms may prevent us from being able to generate sufficient revenue, attain and/or maintain profitability or commercialize our product candidates.
We cannot be sure whether additional legislative changes, including as a result of the U.S. administration, will be enacted, whether existing legislation will
be implemented, interpreted or enforced as anticipated or whether FDA regulations, guidance or interpretations will be changed, or what the impact of such
changes on our product candidates, if any, may be.
 
We have no internal capacity to manufacture commercial or clinical supplies of our product candidates and intend to continue to rely solely on
third-party manufacturers, which could significantly limit or delay our clinical trials or regulatory submissions and may negatively impact our
financial conditions and results of operations. If we are unable to establish relationships with contract manufacturers that have sufficient
manufacturing capacity available to meet our needs, or if the contract manufacturers that we rely on experience difficulties manufacturing and
supplying our product candidates, or fail FDA or other regulatory inspections, then our clinical trials or regulatory submissions may be
significantly limited or delayed or we may have inadequate supply to meet demand for any product that we commercialize in the future.
 
We rely and intend to continue to rely on third-party manufacturers to produce quantities of clinical drug supplies of our product candidates that are
needed for clinical trials and to support NDAs, BLAs, or similar applications to regulatory authorities seeking marketing approval for our product
candidates, as well as to produce inventory of our product candidates for commercial use in anticipation of marketing approval. Global demand for contract
manufacturing is volatile and the available supply of contract manufacturing capacity is limited and unpredictable. We cannot provide any assurance that
we will be able to enter into or maintain these types of arrangements on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, or that manufacturing arrangements will
meet our requirements. Our contract manufacturers previously have and may in the future require us to place orders or make other financial commitments
several years in advance of manufacturing commencement based on forecasts of our long-term commercial supply requirements for product candidates that
have not yet received, and may never receive, regulatory approval. We may be required to pay significant cancellation fees or other financial penalties in
connection with the withdrawal or cancellation of any binding order for manufacturing that we later determine is not needed. The fees or other financial
obligations that we may incur in connection with withdrawn or cancelled orders may be material and any such financial penalty would negatively impact
our financial condition and results of operations.
 
If we or one of our manufacturers were to terminate one of these arrangements early, or the manufacturer was unable to supply product quantities
sufficient to meet our requirements, we would be required to transfer manufacturing to an approved alternative facility and/or establish additional
manufacturing and supply arrangements. We may also need to establish additional or replacement manufacturers, potentially with little or no notice, in the
event that one of our manufacturers fails to comply with FDA and/or other pharmaceutical manufacturing regulatory requirements. Even if we are able to
establish additional or replacement manufacturers, identifying these sources and entering into definitive supply agreements and obtaining regulatory
approvals may require a substantial amount of time and cost and may create a shortage of the product. It can take several years to qualify and validate a
new contract manufacturer, and we cannot guarantee that we would be able to complete in a successful and timely manner the appropriate validation
processes or obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for one or more additional or replacement manufacturers. Such alternate supply arrangements may
not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Additionally, if we are unable to engage multiple suppliers to manufacture our products, we
may have inadequate supply to meet demand for our product.
 
In addition, narsoplimab, zaltenibart and OMS1029 are biologic drug products and other product candidates from certain of our programs, including
but not limited to MASP-2 and MASP-3, could be biologic drug products. We do not have the internal capability to produce biologics for use in clinical
trials or on a commercial scale. There are only a limited number of manufacturers of biologic drug products and we may be unable to enter into agreements
on commercially reasonable terms with a sufficient number of them to meet clinical or commercial demand, if at all. The regulatory requirements for
commercial supply are more stringent than for clinical supply and we cannot guarantee that a contract manufacturer producing drug product for clinical
trials will be able to complete successfully the appropriate validation processes or obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for marketing approval and
commercial supply in a timely manner or at all.

Our contract manufacturers may encounter difficulties with formulation, manufacturing, supply chain and/or release processes that could result in
delays in clinical trials and/or regulatory submissions or that could impact adversely the commercialization of our products or product candidates, as well
as in the initiation of enforcement actions by FDA and other regulatory authorities. For example, our manufacturers are required to comply with FDA’s
GMP requirements and are subject to periodic inspections by FDA. If our manufacturers are unable to comply with FDA requirements, they may be unable
to meet our supply needs. These difficulties also could result in the recall or withdrawal of a product from the market or a failure to have adequate supplies
to meet market demand. If the safety or manufacturing quality of any product candidate supplied by contract manufacturers is compromised due to one or
more of those contract manufacturers’ failure to adhere to applicable laws or for other reasons, we may not be able to maintain regulatory approval to run
clinical trials or to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for one or more of our product candidates, which would harm our business and prospects
significantly.
 
Any significant delays in the manufacture and/or supply of clinical or commercial supplies could materially harm our business, financial condition,
results of operations and prospects.
 
Ingredients, excipients, test kits and other materials necessary to manufacture our product candidates may not be available on commercially
reasonable terms, or at all, which may adversely affect the development and commercialization of our product candidates.
 
We and our third-party manufacturers must obtain from third-party suppliers the APIs, excipients, and/or other raw materials plus primary and
secondary packaging materials necessary for our contract manufacturers to produce our product candidates for our clinical trials and, to the extent approved
or commercialized, for commercial distribution. Although we have entered or intend to enter into agreements with third-party suppliers that will guarantee
the availability and timely delivery of APIs, excipients, test kits and materials for our product candidates, we have not entered into agreements for the
supply of all such ingredients, excipients, test kits or materials, and we may be unable to secure all such supply agreements or guarantees on commercially
reasonable terms, if at all. Even if we were able to secure such agreements or guarantees, our suppliers may be unable or choose not to provide us the
ingredients, excipients, test kits or materials in a timely manner or in the quantities required. Further, if we or our third-party manufacturers are unable to
obtain APIs, excipients, test kits and materials as necessary for our clinical trials or for the manufacture of commercial supplies of our product candidates,
if approved, potential regulatory approval or commercialization would be delayed, which would materially and adversely affect our ability to generate
revenue from the sale of our product candidates.

Table of Contents
 
If our clinical trials or clinical protocols are delayed, suspended or terminated, we may be unable to develop our product candidates on a timely
basis, which would adversely affect our ability to obtain regulatory approvals, increase our development costs and delay or prevent
commercialization of approved products.
 
We cannot predict whether we will encounter problems with any of our completed, ongoing or planned clinical trials or clinical data collection
protocols that will cause regulatory agencies, institutional review boards or ethics committees, or us to delay our clinical trials or suspend or delay the
analysis of the data from those trials. Clinical trials and clinical data protocols have been, and in the future can be, delayed for a variety of reasons,
including:
 
●     discussions with FDA, the EMA or other foreign authorities regarding the scope or design of our clinical trials or clinical data collection
protocols;
 
●     delays or the inability to obtain required approvals from institutional review boards, ethics committees or other responsible entities at clinical sites
selected for participation in our clinical trials;
 
●     delays in enrolling patients into clinical trials, collecting data from enrolled patients or collecting historical control data for any reason including
disease severity, trial or data collection protocol design, study eligibility criteria, patient population size (e.g., for orphan diseases or for some
pediatric indications), proximity and/or availability of clinical trial sites for prospective patients, availability of competing therapies and clinical
trials, regional differences in diagnosis and treatment, perceived risks and benefits of the product or product candidate, disruptions due to external
events or conditions affecting the localities or regions in which our clinical trials are conducted, such as terrorism, political crises, natural
disasters, war and wartime conditions, such as those in Ukraine, which has affected the operation of our clinical trials of zaltenibart, or outbreaks
of contagious disease such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which previously slowed enrollment in our clinical trials of narsoplimab;
 
●     lower than anticipated retention rates of patients in clinical trials;
 
●     the need to repeat or conduct additional clinical trials as a result of inconclusive or negative results, failure to replicate positive early clinical data
in subsequent clinical trials, failure to deliver an efficacious dose of a product candidate, poorly executed testing, a failure of a clinical site to
adhere to the clinical protocol or to follow GCP or other study requirements, an unacceptable study design or other problems;
 
●     adverse findings in clinical or nonclinical studies related to the safety of our product candidates in humans;
 
●     an insufficient supply of product candidate materials or other materials necessary to conduct our clinical trials;
 
●     the need to qualify new suppliers of product candidate materials for FDA and foreign regulatory approval;
 
●     an unfavorable inspection or review by FDA or other regulatory authority of a clinical trial site or records of any clinical investigation;
 
●     the occurrence of unacceptable drug-related side effects or adverse events experienced by participants in our clinical trials;
 
●     the suspension by a regulatory agency of a trial by imposing a clinical hold; or
 
●     the amendment of clinical trial or data collection protocols to reflect changes in regulatory requirements and guidance or other reasons as well as
subsequent re-examination of amendments to clinical trial or data collection protocols by regulatory agencies, institutional review boards or ethics
committees.

In particular, because PNH and C3G, the indications for which our ongoing clinical trials are evaluating zaltenibart, are rare conditions, we have
opened and expect to continue opening clinical sites in Ukraine and other countries that may be affected by armed conflict or political instability or
that have not been traditionally established as centers for clinical research. Like Ukraine, some of these areas have been, and may continue to be,
affected by such conflict, instability and/or health infrastructure challenges. Enrollment and retention of patients in, or the ability to receive results from,
these clinical trials could be disrupted by the existing conditions in these areas or other geopolitical or macroeconomic developments. If patients withdraw
from our trials, miss scheduled doses or follow-up visits or otherwise fail to follow trial protocols, if we are unable to resupply the drugs to clinical sites on
schedule, or if our trial results are otherwise disrupted or disputed due to such conditions and developments, the integrity of data from our trials may be
compromised or not accepted by FDA or other regulatory authorities, which would represent a significant setback for the development of this product
candidate.
 
In addition, our clinical trial or development programs have been, and in the future may be, suspended or terminated by us, FDA or other regulatory
authorities, or institutional review boards or ethics committees due to a number of factors, including:
 
●     failure to conduct the clinical trial in accordance with regulatory requirements or our clinical protocols;
 
●     inspection of the clinical trial operations or trial sites by FDA or other regulatory authorities resulting in the imposition of a clinical hold;
 
●     our failure to comply with our regulatory obligations as a sponsor of clinical research, such as adverse event reporting, control of study drug,
adequate study monitoring, and other obligations;
 
●     the failure to remove a clinical hold in a timely manner, if at all;
 
●     unforeseen safety issues or any determination that a trial presents unacceptable health risks;
 
●     inability to deliver an efficacious dose of a product candidate; or
 
●     lack of adequate funding to continue the clinical trial or development program, including as a result of unforeseen costs due to enrollment delays,
requirements to conduct additional trials and studies and/or increased expenses associated with the services of our CROs, or other third parties.
 
If the results of our clinical trials are not available when we expect or if we encounter any delay in the analysis of data from our clinical trials, we may
be unable to file for regulatory approval or conduct additional clinical trials on the schedule we currently anticipate. Many of the factors that cause, or lead
to, a delay in the commencement or completion of clinical trials may also ultimately lead to the denial of regulatory approval of a product candidate. Any
delays in completing our clinical trials could increase our development costs, could slow down our product development and regulatory submission
process, could delay our receipt of product revenue and could make it difficult to raise additional capital. In addition, significant clinical trial delays also
could allow our competitors to bring products to market before we do and impair our ability to commercialize our future products, potentially harming our
business.
 
Because we have a number of product candidates and development programs, we may expend our limited resources to pursue a particular
product candidate or indication and fail to capitalize on product candidates or indications for which there is a greater likelihood of obtaining
regulatory approval and that may be more profitable, if approved.
 
We have limited resources and must focus on the product candidates and clinical and preclinical development programs that we believe are the most
promising. As a result, we may forgo or delay the pursuit of opportunities with other product candidates or other indications that later prove to have greater
commercial potential and may not be able to progress development programs as rapidly as otherwise possible. Further, if we do not accurately evaluate the
commercial potential or target market for a particular product candidate, we may relinquish valuable rights to that drug through collaboration, license or
other royalty arrangements in cases in which it would have been advantageous for us to retain sole development and commercialization rights.
 
Our product candidates may not successfully complete clinical development or be suitable for successful commercialization or generation of
revenue through partnerships, and our preclinical programs may not produce product candidates that are suitable for clinical trials.
 
We must successfully complete preclinical testing, which may include demonstrating efficacy and the lack of toxicity in established animal models,
before commencing clinical trials for any product candidate. Many pharmaceutical and biological product candidates do not successfully complete
preclinical testing. There can be no assurance that positive results from preclinical studies will be predictive of results obtained from subsequent preclinical
studies or clinical trials.

Table of Contents
 
Even if preclinical testing is successfully completed, we cannot be certain that any product candidates that do advance into clinical trials will
successfully demonstrate safety and efficacy in clinical trials. Even if we achieve positive results in early clinical trials, they may not be predictive of the
results in later trials, and safety and/or efficacy outcomes of early clinical trials may not be consistent with outcomes of subsequent clinical trials. There can
be no assurance that we will be able to successfully commercialize our current or future product candidates or to meet our expectations with respect to
revenues or profits from such products.
 
We may incur substantial costs as a result of commercial disputes, claims, litigation or other legal proceedings relating to our business operations,
especially with regard to patent and other intellectual property rights, and such costs or an adverse outcome in such a proceeding may adversely
affect our financial condition, results of operations and/or stock price.
 
Our business involves numerous commercial contractual arrangements, important intellectual property rights, potential product liability, uncertainties
with respect to clinical development, manufacture and regulatory approvals and other aspects that create heightened risks of disputes, claims and legal
proceedings. These include claims that may be faced in one or more jurisdictions related to the safety of our product candidates, the development of our
product candidates, our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, our expectations regarding product development and regulatory
approval, sales and marketing practices, commercial disputes including with contract manufacturers, competition, environmental matters, employment
matters and other matters. These matters could consume significant time and resources, even if we are successful. Many of our competitors and contractual
counterparties are significantly larger than we are and, as a result, may be able to sustain the costs of complex litigation more effectively than we can
because they have substantially greater resources. In addition, we may pay damage awards or settlements or become subject to equitable remedies that
could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations or stock price. Any uncertainties
resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation also could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise the capital necessary to
continue our operations.
 
We may initiate or become subject to litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. Patent infringement litigation involves many
complex technical and legal issues and its outcome is often difficult to predict and the risk involved in doing so can be substantial. Manufacturers of
generic or biosimilar drugs could seek approval to market a generic or biosimilar version of our products or challenge our intellectual property rights with
respect to our product candidates.
 
Further, our industry has produced a large number of patents and it is not always clear which patents cover various types of products or methods of use.
A third party may claim that we or our contract manufacturers are using inventions covered by the third party’s patent rights and may go to court to stop us
from engaging in the alleged infringing activity, including making, using or selling our product candidates. These lawsuits are costly and could affect our
results of operations and divert the attention of managerial and technical personnel. There is a risk that a court would decide that we, or our contract
manufacturers, are infringing the third party’s patents and would order us or our contractors to stop the activities covered by the patents. In addition, if we
or our contract manufacturers are found to have violated a third party’s patent, we or our contract manufacturers could be ordered to pay damages to the
other party. We have agreed or may in the future agree to indemnify our contract manufacturers against certain patent infringement claims and thus may be
responsible for any of their costs associated with such claims and actions. If we were sued for patent infringement, we would need to demonstrate that our
product candidates or methods of use either do not infringe the patent claims of the relevant patent or that the patent claims are invalid, and we might be
unable to do this. Proving invalidity, in particular, is difficult since it requires clear and convincing evidence to overcome the presumption of validity
enjoyed by issued patents.
 
It is difficult and costly to protect our intellectual property and our proprietary technologies, and we may not be able to ensure their protection.
 
Our commercial success will depend in part on obtaining and maintaining patent protection and trade secret protection for the use, formulation and
structure of our product candidates, the methods used to manufacture them, the related therapeutic targets and associated methods of treatment as well as on
successfully defending these patents against potential third-party challenges. Our ability to protect our product candidates from unauthorized making,
using, selling, offering to sell or importing by third parties is dependent on the extent to which we have rights under valid and enforceable patents that
cover these activities.

Table of Contents
 
The patent positions of pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other life sciences companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual
questions for which important legal principles remain unresolved. Changes in either the patent laws or in interpretations of patent laws in the U.S. and other
countries may diminish the value of our intellectual property. Further, the determination that a patent application or patent claim meets all of the
requirements for patentability is a subjective determination based on the application of law and jurisprudence. The ultimate determination by the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office or by a court or other trier of fact in the U.S., or corresponding foreign national patent offices or courts, on whether a claim
meets all requirements of patentability cannot be assured. Although we have conducted searches for third-party publications, patents and other information
that may affect the patentability of claims in our various patent applications and patents, we cannot be certain that all relevant information has been
identified. Accordingly, we cannot predict the breadth of claims that may be allowed or enforced in our patents or patent applications, in our licensed
patents or patent applications or in third-party patents.
 
We cannot provide assurances that any of our patent applications will be found to be patentable, including over our own prior art patents, or will issue
as patents. Neither can we make assurances as to the scope of any claims that may issue from our pending and future patent applications nor to the outcome
of any proceedings by any potential third parties that could challenge the patentability, validity or enforceability of our patents and patent applications in
the U.S. or foreign jurisdictions. Any such challenge, if successful, could limit patent protection for our product candidates and/or materially harm our
business.
 
The degree of future protection for our proprietary rights is uncertain because legal means afford only limited protection and may not adequately
protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep our competitive advantage. In addition, to the extent that we are unable to obtain and maintain patent
protection for one of our product candidates or in the event that such patent protection expires or is limited to method of use patent protection, it may no
longer be cost-effective to extend our portfolio by pursuing additional development of a product or product candidate for follow-on indications.
 
We also may rely on trade secrets to protect our technologies or product candidates, especially where we do not believe patent protection is appropriate
or obtainable. Although we use reasonable efforts to protect our trade secrets, our employees, consultants, contractors, outside scientific collaborators and
other advisers may unintentionally or willfully disclose our information to competitors. Enforcing a claim that a third-party entity illegally obtained and is
using any of our trade secrets is expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the U.S. are sometimes less
willing to protect trade secrets. Moreover, our competitors may independently develop equivalent knowledge, methods and know-how.
 
 
36

Table of Contents
 
Competitors may develop products that are less expensive, safer or more effective, or which may otherwise diminish or eliminate the success of
any products that we may commercialize.
 
We may not achieve commercial success if our competitors, many of which have significantly more resources and experience than we have, market
products that are safer, more effective, less expensive or faster to reach the market than any products that we may develop and commercialize. Our
competitors also may market a product that proves to be unsafe or ineffective, which may affect the market for future product we are developing, regardless
of the safety or efficacy of our product. The failure of any future product that we may market to compete effectively with products marketed by our
competitors would impair our ability to generate revenue, which would have a material adverse effect on our future business, our financial condition and
our results of operations.
 
The loss of members of our management team could substantially disrupt our business operations.
 
Our success depends to a significant degree on the continued individual and collective contributions of our management team. The members of our
management team are at-will employees, and we do not maintain any key-person life insurance policies other than on the life of Gregory A. Demopulos,
M.D., our president, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of directors. Losing the services of any key member of our management team,
whether from death or disability, retirement, competing offers or other causes, without having a readily available and appropriate replacement could delay
the execution of our business strategy, cause us to lose a strategic partner, or otherwise materially affect our operations.
 
We rely on highly skilled personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to
maintain our operations or grow effectively.
 
Our performance is largely dependent on the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals, many of whom possess specialized expertise that may be
difficult to replace. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled personnel for all areas
of our organization. If we are unable to hire and train a sufficient number of qualified employees for any reason, we may not be able to implement our
current initiatives or grow effectively. We maintain a rigorous, highly selective and time-consuming hiring process. We believe that our approach to hiring
has significantly contributed to our success to date. If we do not succeed in attracting qualified personnel and retaining and motivating existing personnel,
our existing operations may suffer and we may be unable to grow effectively.
 
37

Table of Contents
 
We may encounter difficulties managing our growth, which could delay our business plans or adversely affect our results of operations.
 
To manage our future growth, we must continue to implement and improve our managerial, operational and financial systems and continue to recruit,
train and retain qualified personnel. We may not be able to implement necessary business processes and systems, recruit, train and retain additional
qualified personnel and otherwise manage the growth of our enterprise due to factors such as limited financial resources and competition for qualified
personnel within local, national and international markets. The expansion of our operations may lead to significant costs and may divert our management
and business development resources. Any inability to manage growth could delay the execution of our business plans or disrupt our operations.
Additionally, our inability to manage growth effectively could cause our operating costs to exceed our forecasts.
 
Product liability claims may damage our reputation and, if insurance proves inadequate, these claims may harm our business.
 
We may be exposed to the risk of product liability claims that is inherent in the biopharmaceutical industry. A product liability claim may damage our
reputation by raising questions about our product’s safety and efficacy and could limit our ability to sell one or more products by preventing or interfering
with commercialization of our product candidates. In addition, product liability insurance for the biopharmaceutical industry is generally expensive to the
extent it is available at all. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain such insurance on acceptable terms for any product we
bring to market. Further, our product liability insurance coverage may not provide coverage for or may be insufficient to reimburse us for any or all
expenses or losses we may suffer. A successful claim against us with respect to uninsured liabilities or in excess of insurance coverage could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We rely on third parties to conduct portions of our preclinical research and clinical trials. If these third parties do not perform as contractually
required or otherwise expected, or if we fail to adequately supervise or monitor these parties, we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for
or commercialize our product candidates.
 
We rely on third parties, such as CROs, medical and research institutions and clinical investigators, to conduct a portion of our preclinical research,
assist us in conducting our clinical trials or to conduct third party-sponsored clinical trials of our product candidates. Nonetheless, we are responsible for
confirming that our preclinical research and clinical trials are conducted in accordance with applicable regulations, the relevant trial protocol and within the
context of approvals by an institutional review board or ethics committee, and we may not always be successful in ensuring such compliance. Our reliance
on these third parties does not relieve us of responsibility for ensuring compliance with FDA and other regulations and standards for conducting,
monitoring, recording and reporting the results of preclinical research and clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate
and that the trial participants are adequately protected. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or regulatory obligations or
meet expected deadlines, if the third parties need to be replaced or if the quality or accuracy of the data they obtain is compromised due to their failure to
adhere to our clinical protocols or regulatory requirements or for other reasons, our preclinical and clinical development processes may be extended,
delayed, suspended or terminated, and we may not be able to commercialize or obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.
 
If we are unable to obtain licenses from third parties on commercially reasonable terms or fail to comply with our obligations under such
agreements, our business could be harmed.
 
It may be necessary for us to use the patented or proprietary technology of third parties to commercialize our products, in which case we would be
required to obtain a license from these third parties. If we are unable to license such technology, or if we are forced to license such technology on
unfavorable terms, our business could be materially harmed. If we are unable to obtain a necessary license, we may be unable to develop or commercialize
the affected products or product candidates, which could materially harm our business and the third parties owning such intellectual property rights could
seek either an injunction prohibiting our sales, or, with respect to our sales, an obligation on our part to pay royalties and/or other forms of compensation.
Even if we are able to obtain a license, it may be non-exclusive, which could enable our competitors to obtain access to the same technologies licensed to
us.
If we fail to comply with our obligations under license agreements, our counterparties may have the right to terminate these agreements, in which event
we might not be able to develop, manufacture or market, or may be forced to cease developing, manufacturing or marketing, any product that is covered by
these agreements or may face other penalties under such agreements. Such an occurrence could materially adversely affect the value of the product or
product candidate being developed under any such agreement. Termination of these agreements or reduction or elimination of our rights under these
agreements may result in our having to negotiate new or reinstated agreements with less favorable terms, cause us to lose our rights under these agreements,
including our rights to important intellectual property or technology, or impede, delay or prohibit the further development or commercialization of one or
more product candidates that rely on such agreements.
 
As a non-accelerated filer, we are not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
 
We are a non-accelerated filer under the Exchange Act and, therefore, we are not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of
Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Therefore, our internal control over financial reporting will not receive the level of review provided by the
process relating to the auditor attestation included in annual reports of issuers that are subject to the auditor attestation requirements. In addition, we cannot
predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we are not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements. If some
investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and the trading price for our
common stock may be negatively affected.

General Risk Factors Related to our Business
 
Cyber-attacks or other failures in telecommunications or information technology systems could result in information theft, data corruption and
significant disruption of our business operations.
 
We utilize information technology systems and networks to process, transmit and store electronic information in connection with our business
activities. As use of digital technologies has increased, cyber incidents, including deliberate attacks and attempts to gain unauthorized access to computer
systems and networks, have increased in frequency and sophistication. These threats pose a risk to the security of our systems and networks, the
confidentiality and the availability and integrity of our data. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in preventing cyber-attacks or mitigating
their effects. Similarly, there can be no assurance that our collaborators, CROs, third-party logistics providers, distributors and other contractors and
consultants will be successful in protecting our clinical and other data that is stored on their systems. While we have not experienced any previous
cybersecurity incidents that have had a material adverse effect on or company, we cannot provide assurance that a future cybersecurity incident will not
occur or that it would not materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, we may suffer reputational harm or face
litigation or adverse regulatory action as a result of cyber-attacks or other data security breaches and may incur significant additional expense to implement
further data protection measures.
 
Our stock price has been and may continue to be volatile, and the value of an investment in our common stock may decline.
 
During the 12-month period ended December 31, 2024, the closing price of our stock ranged from as high as $12.15 per share and as low as $2.88 per
share. The trading price of our common stock is likely to continue to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous
factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been
unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of publicly traded companies. Broad market and industry factors may seriously affect the market
price of companies’ stock, including ours, regardless of actual operating performance. These fluctuations may be even more pronounced in the trading
market for our stock. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a particular company’s securities,
securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs
and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.
 
If we issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that may be convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our common
stock, our existing shareholders would experience further dilution.
 
To the extent that we raise additional funds in the future by issuing equity securities, our shareholders would experience dilution, which may be
significant and could cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly. In addition, approximately 16.7 million shares of common stock
were subject to outstanding options as of December 31, 2024 and may become eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by the
provisions of various vesting agreements. As of December 31, 2024, we also had approximately 6.9 million additional shares of common stock reserved for
future issuance under our employee benefit plans that are not subject to outstanding options. Further, to the extent we issue common stock upon conversion
of the 2026 Notes, such conversion would dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders despite the expected reduction of such dilution as a result
of the capped call transactions that we entered into in connection with the original issuances of the 2026 Notes. If the holders of outstanding options or
warrants elect to exercise some or all of them, or if the shares subject to our employee benefit plans are issued and become eligible for sale in the public
market, or we issue common stock upon conversion of the 2026 Notes, our shareholders would experience dilution and the market price of our common
stock could decline.

If we or the third parties upon whom we rely are adversely affected by natural disasters or other events, our business continuity and disaster
recovery plans may not adequately protect us from such interruptions.
Any unplanned event, such as flood, fire, explosion, earthquake, tsunami, extreme weather condition, power shortage, power outage,
telecommunication failure, or other natural or man-made accidents or incidents could disrupt our operations. If a natural disaster or other event were to
occur that prevents us from using all or a significant portion of our headquarters, that damages critical infrastructure, such as the manufacturing facilities of
our third-party manufacturers, or that otherwise disrupts operations, it may be difficult or, in certain cases, impossible for us to continue our business for a
substantial period of time. We may not carry sufficient business interruption insurance to compensate us for all losses that may occur. The disaster recovery
and business continuity plans we have in place may not be adequate in the event of a serious disaster or similar event. We may incur substantial expenses as
a result of a natural disaster or other event, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, and we could potentially lose valuable data and
other items. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Washington law could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our
shareholders, difficult and prevent attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current management.
 
Provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws and under Washington law may delay or prevent an acquisition of us or a change in our
management. These provisions include a classified board of directors, a prohibition on shareholder actions by less than unanimous written consent,
restrictions on the ability of shareholders to fill board vacancies and the ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock without shareholder
approval. In addition, because we are incorporated in Washington, we are governed by the provisions of Chapter 23B.19 of the Washington Business
Corporation Act, which, among other things, restricts the ability of shareholders owning 10% or more of our outstanding voting stock from merging or
combining with us. Although we believe these provisions collectively provide for an opportunity to receive higher bids by requiring potential acquirers to
negotiate with our board of directors, they would apply even if an offer may be considered beneficial by some shareholders. In addition, these provisions
may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current management by making it difficult for shareholders to replace
members of our board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management.
 
We have never declared or paid dividends on our capital stock, and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
Our business requires significant funding. We currently plan to invest all available funds and future earnings, if any, in the development and growth of
our business. Furthermore, we are prohibited from making cash dividend payments under the terms of our secured credit facility. Therefore, we have no
intention of paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. As a result, a rise in the market price of our common stock, which is
uncertain and unpredictable, will be the sole source of potential gain for shareholders in the foreseeable future, and an investment in our common stock for
dividend income should not be relied upon.

ITEM 1C.            CYBERSECURITY
 
 
Risk Management and Strategy
 
Omeros maintains a cybersecurity risk management program that is designed to assess, identify, manage and respond to risks from cybersecurity
threats in a robust manner. This program shares certain common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes applicable to our
management of other risk areas, such as legal, compliance, strategic, operational and financial risk.
 
We utilize a range of internal and external resources to assess and identify cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities. We access and utilize information
drawn from a variety of publications, reports and services to assess our cybersecurity risk profile, develop awareness of emerging cybersecurity threats and
threat actors and identify risk factors that are particularly relevant to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector and to our company. We also work with
third parties that assist us to identify, assess and manage cybersecurity risks, including external auditors, consulting firms, managed security service
providers and penetration testing firms.
 
We have implemented and maintain various technical, physical and organizational measures, processes, standards and/or policies designed to manage
and mitigate material risks from cybersecurity threats. These include data encryption, network security controls, access controls, physical security, asset
management, system hardening, vulnerability management and patching and continuous monitoring of information technology systems and network
telemetry data using a variety of manual and automated tools and systems designed to detect and respond to suspicious or unusual activity. We maintain
systems and plans for business continuity and disaster recovery and have implemented tools and procedures for cybersecurity incident detection and
response. We also operate a cybersecurity training program for employees that includes required webinars and deployment of simulated phishing and
similar attacks in which threat actors utilize social engineering to gain access to company systems.
 
We take a risk-weighted approach to mitigation of cybersecurity risks associated with use of third-party service providers. Based on an assessment of
the cybersecurity risks presented by a given third-party service provider, we seek to minimize third-party cybersecurity risk on a case-by-case basis,
generally through a combination of due diligence in the selection of qualified vendors and the imposition of contractual terms requiring the vendor to
maintain specified cybersecurity safeguards and/or to accept financial responsibility for security breaches occurring within the vendor’s area of
responsibility.
 
We are not aware of any specific risks from specific cybersecurity threats, and have not experienced any previous cybersecurity incidents, that have
materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our company, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.
While we continue to invest in the security and resiliency of our information technology systems and to enhance our cybersecurity controls and processes,
we cannot provide assurance that a future cybersecurity incident will not occur or that it would not materially affect our company. Please see Item 1A of
Part I of this Annual Report under the heading “Risk Factors” for additional discussion about risks related to cybersecurity.
 

 
Governance
 
Cybersecurity is an important part of our risk management processes and an area of focus for our board of directors and management. Pursuant to its
charter, the audit committee of our board of directors is responsible for the oversight of management’s efforts to address cybersecurity risk. Management
reports to the audit committee on cybersecurity risk matters periodically, typically twice annually. These reports normally address matters such as: the
evolving cybersecurity risk environment and the emergence of new threats; outcomes and learnings from penetration testing, security audits or vulnerability
assessments; evaluation of existing controls, tools and procedures and progress on implementation of any new initiatives to manage and mitigate
cybersecurity risk. In addition, members of our board of directors regularly engage in discussions with management on cybersecurity-related news events
and discuss any updates to our cybersecurity risk management and strategy programs.
 
Our cybersecurity risk management program is managed by our Director of Information Technology (the “IT Director”), whose team is responsible for
leading enterprise-wide cybersecurity strategy, policy, standards, architecture and processes. The IT Director has been with the organization since 2007, has
a post-graduate degree in Information Security, and is a member of InfraGard, a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and members of
the private sector for the protection of U.S. critical infrastructure. The IT Director is informed about and monitors prevention, detection, mitigation and
remediation of cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include, among other things, briefings with dedicated internal security
personnel, threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us,
and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in our information technology environment. The IT Director provides periodic reports on
cybersecurity risk to the audit committee of our board of directors, as well as our chief executive officer and other members of our senior management as
appropriate.
 
ITEM 2.              PROPERTIES 
 
We lease approximately 111,926 square feet for our principal office and laboratory space in the building located at 201 Elliott Avenue West, Seattle,
Washington (“the Omeros Building”), which includes 6,111 square feet of laboratory space that we are subleasing to third parties. The lease term for our
space is through November 2027. We also have two options to extend the lease term, each by five years. The annual base rent due under the lease for our
principal office and laboratory space is $6.9 million for 2025, $7.1 million for 2026, and $6.1 million for 2027. In addition, we are responsible for paying
our proportionate share of the building’s utilities, taxes, insurance and maintenance as well as a property management fee.
 
We believe that our facilities are sufficient for our anticipated near-term needs.
 
 
ITEM 3.              LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we may be involved in various claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. As of the date of filing of
this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings.

Overview 
 
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to discovering, developing and commercializing first-in-class small-molecule and
protein therapeutics for large-market as well as orphan indications targeting immunologic diseases, including complement-mediated diseases and cancers
related to dysfunction of the immune system, as well as addictive and compulsive disorders.
 
Complement Inhibitor Programs
 
The complement system plays a role in the body’s inflammatory response and becomes activated as a result of tissue damage or trauma or microbial
pathogen invasion. Inappropriate or uncontrolled activation of the complement system can cause diseases characterized by serious tissue injury. Three main
pathways can activate the complement system: classical, lectin, and alternative. We are focused on development of therapeutics to treat diseases associated
with the lectin and/or alternative pathways of complement. We are developing antibodies as well as small-molecule inhibitors of key enzymes known to be
centrally involved in the in activation of the targeted pathway of complement.
 
Lectin Pathway / MASP 2
 
MASP-2 is a novel pro-inflammatory protein target that is the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway and is required for the function of this pathway.
We are developing antibodies and small-molecule inhibitors of MASP-2 as potential therapeutics for diseases in which the lectin pathway has been shown
to contribute to significant tissue injury and pathology. When not treated, these diseases are typically characterized by significant end-organ damage, such
as kidney or central nervous system injury. Importantly, inhibition of MASP-2 has been demonstrated not to interfere with the antibody-dependent classical
complement activation pathway, a critical component of the acquired immune response to infection.
 
The lead product candidate in our pipeline of complement-targeted therapeutics is narsoplimab (OMS721), a proprietary, patented human monoclonal
antibody targeting MASP-2, the key activator of the lectin pathway of complement. Clinical development of narsoplimab is currently focused primarily on
TA-TMA and development efforts are also directed to COVID-19, ARDS and PASC. We are also developing OMS1029, our long-acting antibody targeting
MASP-2 which we expect will be well-suited to indications requiring long-term, chronic administration. In addition, we are advancing our orally
administered small-molecule MASP-2 inhibitor through IND-enabling studies. For more information, see Part I, Item 1 in this Annual Report on Form 10-
K under the heading “Complement Inhibitor Programs: MASP-2 Program – Lectin Pathway Disorders”.
 
Alternative Pathway / MASP-3
 
Our pipeline of clinical-stage complement-targeted therapeutic candidates also includes zaltenibart (OMS906), a proprietary, patented monoclonal
antibody targeting MASP-3, the key activator of the alternative pathway of complement. We believe zaltenibart has the potential to treat a wide range of
alternative pathway-related diseases and that its attributes favorably differentiate zaltenibart from other marketed and in-development alternative pathway
inhibitors. 
 
Clinical development of zaltenibart is currently focused on PNH and C3G. We have initiated our Phase 3 clinical development program for zaltenibart
in PNH and have an ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating zaltenibart in C3G. For more information, see Part I, Item 1 in this Annual Report on Form
10-K under the heading “Complement Inhibitor Programs: MASP-3 Program – Alternative Pathway Disorders”.
 
PDE7 Inhibitor Programs 
 
Our PDE7 inhibitor program, which we refer to as OMS527, comprises multiple PDE7 inhibitor compounds and is based on our discoveries of
previously unknown links between PDE7 and any addiction or compulsive disorder, and between PDE7 and any movement disorders. In April 2023, we
were awarded a grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, part of the National Institutes of Health, to develop our lead orally administered PDE7
inhibitor compound, for which we have successfully completed a Phase 1 study, for the treatment of cocaine use disorder (“CUD”). With NIDA funding,
we successfully completed preclinical cocaine interaction/toxicology studies to assess safety of the OMS527 compound when co-administered with
cocaine. Based on the successful outcome of the preclinical studies, we have initiated, and NIDA has confirmed availability of grant funding for, an in-
patient, placebo-controlled clinical study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of OMS527 in adults with CUD who receive concurrent intravenous
cocaine. For more information, see Part I, Item 1 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Other Clinical Programs: PDE7 Inhibitor
Programs – OMS527”.
 
Preclinical Programs - Oncology Platform
 
We are developing a portfolio of signaling-driven immunomodulators, oncotoxins, and an adoptive T-cell technology combined with an
immunostimulator that, unlike other cellular therapy approaches requires no cellular engineering, may reduce manufacturing costs and timelines, and may
maintain an enhanced anti-cancer immune response through subsequent repetitive and simple therapeutic administrations.
 
Our oncology development program is operating in stealth mode as we continue to confirm our results and to generate new data which we expect will
contribute to our intellectual property position. For more information, see Part I, Item 1 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Preclinical
Programs and Platforms: Oncology Platform”.
 
OMIDRIA Sale and Royalty Monetization Transactions
 
We previously developed and commercialized OMIDRIA® (phenylephrine and ketorolac intraocular solutions) 1%/0.3%, which is approved by FDA
for use during cataract surgery or intraocular lens replacement to maintain pupil size by preventing intraoperative miosis (pupil constriction) and to reduce
postoperative ocular pain. We marketed OMIDRIA in the U.S. from the time of its commercial launch in 2015 until December 2021.
 
On December 23, 2021, we sold our commercial product, OMIDRIA, to Rayner. Rayner paid us $126.0 million at the closing and we retained all
outstanding accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses as of the closing date.
 
As contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, in December 2022, we earned a $200.0 million Milestone Payment upon the establishment of
separate payment for OMIDRIA for a continuous period of at least four years when furnished in the ASC setting. We received $200.0 million in February

2023. Upon achieving the Milestone Event, the royalty rate applicable to U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA was reduced from 50% to 30%. The 30% royalty rate
continues until the expiration or termination of the last issued and unexpired U.S. patent, which we expect to occur no earlier than 2035.
 
Upon the occurrence of certain events described in the Asset Purchase Agreement, including during any specific period in which OMIDRIA is no
longer eligible for separate payment (i.e., becomes included in the packaged payment rate for the surgical procedure) under Medicare Part B, or in certain
circumstances involving entry of generic competition for OMIDRIA, the U.S. base royalty rate would be further reduced to 10%. Pursuant to legislation
enacted in late 2022, we expect separate payment for OMIDRIA under Medicare Part B to extend until at least January 1, 2028.
 
As a result of the OMIDRIA divestiture, we recorded an OMIDRIA contract royalty asset on our balance sheet. The results of OMIDRIA activities are
classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and excluded from continuing
operations for all periods presented. See Part II, Item 8, “Note 7 — Discontinued Operations – Sale of OMIDRIA” to our Consolidated Financial
Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
On September 30, 2022, we sold to DRI an interest in a portion of our future OMIDRIA royalty receipts for $125.0 million which we recorded as an
OMIDRIA royalty obligation on our consolidated balance sheet. DRI was entitled under that arrangement to receive royalties on OMIDRIA net sales
between September 1, 2022 and December 31, 2030, subject to certain annual caps. 
 
On February 1, 2024, we sold an expanded interest in our future OMIDRIA royalties to DRI and received $115.5 million in cash consideration, which
we recorded as an addition to the OMIDRIA royalty obligation. The amended and restated royalty purchase agreement with DRI (the “Amendment”)
eliminated the previously existing annual caps on royalty payments after January 1, 2024, and provides that DRI receives all royalties on U.S. net sales of
OMIDRIA payable between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2031. In addition to the cash consideration received at closing, the Amendment also entitles
us to receive two milestone payments of up to $27.5 million each, payable in January 2026 and January 2028, respectively, based on achievement of certain
thresholds for U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA. All royalties earned on OMIDRIA sales within the U.S. through December 31, 2031 are remitted by Rayner to
an escrow account established by Omeros, from which payments are made to DRI. We retain the rights to receive all royalties payable by Rayner on any
net sales of OMIDRIA outside the U.S. as well as royalties on global net sales of OMIDRIA payable from and after December 31, 2031, including royalties
on U.S. OMIDRIA net sales. To date, international royalties have not been significant.  DRI has no recourse to our assets other than its interest in
OMIDRIA royalties. Interest expense on the OMIDRIA royalty obligation is recorded as a component of continuing operations. See Part II, Item 8, “Note
8 – OMIDRIA Royalty Obligation” to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
 
Payment on Maturity of 2023 Notes
 
On November 15, 2023, we extinguished $95.0 million of our 6.25% convertible senior notes (the “2023 Notes”) at par upon maturity.
 
2024 Term Loan and Repurchase of 2026 Notes
 
In December 2023, we repurchased $9.1 million par value of our 2026 Notes on the open market at approximately 55% of par value, realizing a $4.1
million non-cash gain on extinguishment.
 
On June 3, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), we, with certain subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into the Credit Agreement with Athyrium and
Highbridge as lenders (together with additional lenders from time to time, the “Lenders”) and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative
agent and collateral agent. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured term loan facility initially of up to $92.1 million consisting of (i) the Initial
Term Loan of $67.1 million, which was fully funded on the Closing Date, and (ii) a $25.0 million Delayed Draw Term Loan, which may be drawn once in
full upon notice delivered on or prior to June 3, 2025, conditioned on receipt of FDA approval of narsoplimab in TA-TMA within 30 days of the notice. We
do not expect that FDA approval of narsoplimab will be obtained within a timeframe that would permit the Delayed Draw Term Loan to be drawn absent
an amendment to, or waiver of, this condition. Proceeds of the Delayed Draw Term Loan, if borrowed, must be used to fund the commercialization of
narsoplimab and to pay transaction costs associated with the Delayed Draw Term Loan. The Initial Term Loan has no original issue discount, while the
Delayed Draw Term Loan, if drawn, would be issued with an original issue discount of 3.00%. 
 
In 2024, we used the $67.1 million Initial Term Loan, along with $21.7 million of cash on hand to repurchase from the Lenders $118.1 million
aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes (the “2026 Note Repurchase Transaction”). The principal amount retired in the 2026 Note Repurchase
Transaction represented a 55% reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the 2026 Notes at a purchase price of approximately 75% of par value. 
 
We are permitted under the Credit Agreement to repurchase additional outstanding 2026 Notes for cash in open market or privately negotiated
transactions, subject to certain limitations described below. Additionally, until the earlier of November 1, 2025 and the date the we elect to draw under the
Delayed Draw Term Loan, we, at our sole discretion, may exchange up to $14.9 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2026 Notes for cash and
additional term loan amounts, with the holders of such notes becoming Lenders under the Credit Agreement (any such additional term loans, together with
the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the “Loans”). We also retain all potential future value of the capped call purchased in connection
with the issuance of the 2026 Notes covering all shares underlying the original 2026 Notes. 
 
All indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries, other than certain foreign
subsidiaries that are not material (we and the guarantors, collectively, the “Credit Parties”). Pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement, dated June 3,
2024, the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is secured by a first-priority security interest in and lien on substantially all tangible and intangible
property of the Credit Parties, subject to customary exceptions, and excluding royalty interests in OMIDRIA and certain related rights.
 
The Credit Agreement contains certain customary default provisions, representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including
a covenant for the Credit Parties to maintain at all times unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of at least $25.0 million in accounts
subject to control agreements, and a covenant limiting the use of cash for open market or privately negotiated repurchases of any outstanding 2026 Notes
to: (i) an initial amount not exceeding $25.0 million, which may be increased by up to an additional $10.0 million subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions; (ii) an unlimited amount, if the amount of Loans outstanding at the time of repurchase does not exceed $38.5 million; and (iii) an additional
amount not to exceed 50% of the net cash proceeds from an equity offering, provided that we offer to prepay an equal amount of Loans with the net cash
proceeds of such offering.
 
The Loans accrue interest at an adjusted term secured overnight financing rate, (“adjusted term SOFR”) (with a 3.00% floor) plus 8.75% per annum,
payable quarterly. We may choose to pay up to 50% of any quarterly interest payment in kind by adding the portion of such interest payment to the
outstanding principal amount of Loans using a quarterly interest rate of adjusted term SOFR (with a 3.00% floor) plus 10.25% per annum. A default

interest rate of an additional 3.00% per annum would apply on all outstanding obligations after the occurrence and during the continuance of certain
specified events of default.
 
The Credit Agreement with a four-year term has a scheduled maturity date of June 3, 2028 (unless all Loans become due and payable at an earlier date,
whether by acceleration or otherwise). If on November 1, 2025, (i) the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes outstanding that is not held by the
Lenders is equal to or greater than $38.5 million and (ii) we have not made nor delivered notice that we expect to make certain voluntary or mandatory
prepayments under the Credit Agreement of at least $20.0 million in the aggregate, then we would be required to prepay the Loans in the amount necessary
to achieve the $20.0 million prepayment requirement. We expect to prepay the $20.0 million in November 2025 along with a $1.0 million prepayment
penalty and have reflected this consideration in our consolidated balance sheet. All mandatory prepayments are subject to the prepayment premiums as
described below.
 
We may elect to prepay Loans, in whole or in part, in cash, subject to (i) during the first year of such Loans, a make-whole premium plus 5.00% of the
aggregate principal amount of Loans subject to prepayment (unless the prepayment is made in contemplation of a change of control, in which case only the
make-whole premium would be payable); (ii) during the second year, a 5.00% prepayment premium; and (iii) during the third year, a 3.00% prepayment
premium. The Credit Agreement requires mandatory prepayments of Loans in an amount equal to 60% of the net cash proceeds (excluding research and
development and certain other milestone payments) received by the Credit Parties from asset sales and licenses, provided that if an asset sale or license
involving narsoplimab occurs while any Delayed Draw Term Loans are outstanding, mandatory prepayments must be in an amount equal to 100% of the
net cash proceeds from such sale. Mandatory prepayments are also required: (i) from insurance recoveries on loss of property that are not otherwise
reinvested in other assets of the Credit Parties; (ii) from indebtedness incurred by any of the Credit Parties other than as permitted by the Credit
Agreement; (iii) in the event of a change of control and (iv) in respect of 25% of the amount of any Milestone Payment received from DRI its affiliates on
the basis of net sales of OMIDRIA.
 
Financial Summary
 
As of December 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $90.1 million available to fund operations and to service debt.

Research and Development Expenses
 
Our research and development expenses can be divided into three categories: direct external expenses, which include clinical research and
development and preclinical research and development activities; internal overhead and other expenses; and stock-based compensation expense. Direct
external expenses consist primarily of expenses incurred pursuant to agreements with third-party manufacturing organizations prior to receiving regulatory
approval for a product candidate, CROs, clinical trial sites, collaborators, licensors and consultants. Preclinical research and development includes costs
prior to beginning Phase 1 studies in human subjects. Internal overhead and other expenses primarily consist of costs for personnel, overhead, rent, utilities
and depreciation. Our accounting policy is to expense all manufacturing costs related to product candidates until regulatory approval is reasonably assured
in either the U.S. or European Union.
 
The following table illustrates our expenses associated with these activities:

Clinical research and development expenses increased $0.5 million between 2024 and 2023. The change primarily relates to $16.1 million of TA-TMA
drug manufacturing costs in anticipation of our BLA and $2.1 million in zaltenibart clinical trials expense and associated costs to manufacture drug supply.
These costs are partially offset by a $15.5 million reduction in IgA nephropathy expenses with the closing out of the program and a $2.2 million reduction
in OMS1029 expenses primarily due to the completion of one of our single ascending dose studies.
 
Clinical research and development expenses increased $4.8 million between 2023 and 2022. The $16.5 million increase in OMS906 development costs
was due to an increase in manufacturing and Phase 2 clinical trial costs and a $5.0 million development milestone paid in 2023 under a technology license
agreement. The $3.6 million increase in OMS1029 expense was primarily due to costs associated with initiation of human trials and other clinical
development costs in the transition from preclinical to clinical development status in the third quarter of 2022. These increases were offset by
decreased narsoplimab manufacturing costs during 2023.
 
Preclinical research and development expenses increased $1.3 million in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to increased preclinical oncology
research and cocaine addiction work during 2024. The cocaine addiction work is being funded by a grant from NIDA, with associated grant revenue
included in other income. The $2.1 million decrease in 2023 over 2022 in preclinical research and development expenses was primarily due to the
migration of OMS1029 from preclinical to clinical research and development status during the third quarter of 2022, offset by an increase in preclinical
oncology work during 2023.

Table of Contents
 
Internal overhead and other expenses increased $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to additional employee related costs
and having received an employee retention tax credit in the prior year that was recorded as an offset to expense.
 
The changes in stock-based compensation expense between the three covered years were due to the valuation and timing of the vesting of employee
stock options.
 
We expect our overall research and development costs in 2025 to be slightly higher than in 2024, driven by increases in zaltenibart clinical trial costs
associated with Phase 3 trials in PNH and C3G, a milestone payment under an existing licensing agreement, and drug manufacturing costs, which we
expect to be partially offset by decreases in narsoplimab drug manufacturing and clinical trial costs. Our accounting policy is to expense all manufacturing
costs related to product candidates until regulatory approval is reasonably assured in either the U.S. or Europe.
 
At this time, we are unable to estimate with certainty the longer-term costs we will incur in the continued development of our product candidates due
to the inherently unpredictable nature of our preclinical and clinical development activities. Clinical development timelines, the probability of success and
development costs can differ materially as new data become available and as expectations change. Our future research and development expenses will
depend, in part, on the preclinical or clinical success of each product candidate as well as ongoing assessments of each program’s commercial potential. In
addition, we cannot forecast with precision which product candidates, if any, may be subject to future collaborations, when such arrangements will be
secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements.
 
We are required to expend substantial resources in the development of our product candidates due to the lengthy process of completing clinical trials
and seeking regulatory approval. Any failure or delay in completing clinical trials, or in obtaining regulatory approvals, could delay our generation of
product revenue and increase our research and development expenses.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Our selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation costs for marketing and
administrative personnel who are not directly engaged in research and development. Costs also include marketing expenses, professional and legal services,
general corporate costs and an allocation of our occupancy costs.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to be higher than in 2024. The magnitude of the anticipated increase in selling, general
and administrative expenses for 2025 will be highly dependent on whether narsoplimab receives U.S. regulatory approval for treatment of TA-TMA. If
narsoplimab is approved in 2025, we expect to hire a field sales force and initiate commercial launch activities which will increase our selling, general and
administrative expenses. 
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense is comprised of contractual cash and accrued interest on our 2026 Notes, 2023 Notes and Initial Term Loan.  In addition, we record
pass through interest on the OMIDRIA royalty obligation, non-cash interest comprised of remeasurement adjustments taken on our OMIDRIA royalty
obligation and amortization of debt discount or premiums on our notes and term debt.

Interest expense decreased $6.2 million in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to extinguishing $95.0 million in par value of our 2023 Notes at
maturity in November 2023 and partially repurchasing $127.2 million in collective par value of our 2026 Notes in December 2023 and June 2024 reducing
interest expense on our 2026 Notes by $4.4 million. This decrease was partially offset by increased interest expense of $3.2 million related to our
OMIDRIA royalty obligation as we added $115.5 million of principal upon sale in February 2024 to DRI of our remaining OMIDRIA U.S. royalty
earnings through 2031.  In addition, with the execution of the Credit Agreement, we incurred $0.8 million in effective interest on our Initial Term Loan
with Highbridge and Athyrium. 
 
Interest expense increased $8.1 million in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily due to interest incurred from our OMIDRIA royalty obligation.
 
Contractual interest expense is comprised of cash interest paid during the year and the net change in accrued interest. Interest on our OMIDRIA royalty
obligation is calculated under the effective interest method and represents a portion of the royalties remitted by Rayner to our administrative agent,
Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, along with principal. Pass through interest paid to DRI is offset by non-cash remeasurement adjustments taken to
properly reflect the OMIDRIA royalty obligation for changes in probable cash flows on our future expected Rayner royalties.  Debt discounts on the
2026 Notes and 2023 Notes are accretive whereas the unrealized gain on the 2026 Note Repurchase Transaction is treated as a premium on the Initial Term
Loan and deducted from contractual interest expense.

$1.3 million of NIDA grant income. The $5.0 million decrease in interest and other income between 2024 and 2023 was primarily due to holding
lower average cash and investment balances than in the prior year. The $12.3 million increase in interest and other income between 2023 and 2022 was a
result of receiving the $200.0 million Milestone Payment from Rayner in February 2023 and investing those funds. 
 
We expect interest and other income in 2025 to be less than 2024 primarily due to lower average cash and investment balances during 2025.

Interest on OMIDRIA contract royalty asset
 
During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $16.9 million, $15.3 million and $18.6 million, respectively, of income in
discontinued operations representing interest income on the outstanding OMIDRIA contract royalty asset at an implied effective interest rate of 11.0%.
 
Remeasurement Adjustments
 
During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we recorded remeasurement adjustments of $8.0 million, $41.2 million and $14.5 million,
respectively. Periodically, but at least annually, we remeasure the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset when there is a greater probability of achieving
materially higher or lower royalty earnings than previously expected. To measure the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset, we use the expected value
approach, which is the sum of the discounted probability-weighted royalty payments we would receive using a range of potential outcomes, to the extent
that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative income recognized will not occur. Remeasurement is impacted by any changes to
the probability-weighting applied to the range of potential outcomes that could occur. For further discussion of discontinued operations, please refer to Part
II, Item 8, “Note 7 – Discontinued Operations – Sale of OMIDRIA” to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 
 
Milestone Income
 
The Milestone Event occurred in December 2022, entitling us to receive a Milestone Payment of $200.0 million from Rayner. We received the
Milestone Payment together with accrued interest in February 2023.
 
Income Tax Expense 
 
For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we recorded state income tax expense of $0.3 million, $0.5 million and $4.0 million,
respectively, in discontinued operations.

Financial Condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $90.1 million. Our cash used in operations for the year ended
December 31, 2024 was $148.8 million and included a net loss for the year of $156.8 million. Pursuant to a covenant in the Credit Agreement, we must
maintain $25.0 million of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at all times.
 
In recent years, we have incurred net losses from continuing operations and negative cash flows from operations. The recurring losses, in combination
with our cash and investment balances as of December 31, 2024, expected repayment of a portion of the borrowings under our secured credit facility on or
prior to November 1, 2025 and maturity of our 2026 Notes on February 15, 2026, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern
through one year from the issuance of the Company's consolidated financial statements. As we currently do not have an ongoing source of revenue
sufficient to cover our operating costs, we will need to raise additional capital to accomplish our business plan. We have a sales agreement to sell shares of
our common stock, from time to time, in an “at the market” equity offering facility through which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock
equaling an amount up to $150.0 million. Our Delayed Draw Term Loan of $25.0 million may be drawn once in full upon notice delivered on or prior to
June 3, 2025, conditioned on receipt of FDA approval of narsoplimab in TA-TMA within 30 days of the notice; however, we do not expect that FDA
approval of narsoplimab will be obtained within the timeframe that would permit us to draw the Delayed Draw Term Loan absent an amendment to, or a
waiver of, this condition. Proceeds of the Delayed Draw Term Loan, if available, may only be used towards any related transaction costs and for
commercialization of narsoplimab efforts of TA-TMA.
 
We have had preliminary discussions with certain holders of the 2026 Notes regarding a potential refinancing of the 2026 Notes and we may pursue
additional debt financings to retire the 2026 Notes that remain outstanding and to raise additional capital to fund operations. Should it be necessary or
determined to be strategically advantageous, we also could pursue public and private offerings of our equity securities, additional debt transactions or
restructurings, future royalty sales, or other strategic transactions, which may include licensing or selling a portion or all of one or more of our existing
technologies. However, pursuing debt financings, certain equity offerings or other strategic transactions may result in mandatory prepayments of the Initial
Term Loan. See Part II, Item 8, “Note 6 – Debt” to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
 
If these capital resources, for any reason, are needed but inaccessible, it would have a significant negative impact on our financial condition. For
purposes of determining available capital resources, potential future royalty and/or milestone receipts are excluded. Should it be necessary, we plan to
manage our operating expenses and reduce our projected cash requirements by delaying clinical trials, reducing selected research and development efforts,
or implementing other restructuring activities.

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased by $223.5 million compared to the same
period in 2023. This decrease was primarily due to collecting the $200.0 million Milestone Payment from Rayner in the prior year and a $15.5 million
decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the current year. 
 
Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $161.2 million compared to the same period in 2022.
This increase was primarily due to collecting the $200.0 million Milestone Payment from Rayner in February 2023 and a $15.3 million increase in accounts
payable and accrued expenses in 2023. This increase was partially offset by a $26.7 million change in the remeasurement of the OMIDRIA contract royalty
asset, $8.7 million related to the accretion of interest on U.S. government treasury bills and a $4.1 million gain on the early extinguishment of a portion of
our 2026 Notes.
 
Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $54.8 million as compared to the same
period in 2023. Significant initial investment purchases during the periods were the investment of the $200.0 million Milestone Payment we received from
Rayner in February 2023 and the $115.5 million we received from DRI in February 2024 related to the sale of future OMIDRIA royalties.
 
Net cash provided by investing activities increased $155.0 million during 2023 compared to 2022 driven by collection of the $200.0 million Milestone
Payment from Rayner we received in February 2023.
 
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities increased $169.0 million during 2024 compared to the prior year. The increase was
primarily due to receiving $115.5 million in cash from DRI related to the sale of future OMIDRIA royalties and extinguishing $95.0 million of par value on
our 2023 Notes in the prior year. This was partially offset by increased payments to DRI of $17.6 million in 2024 related to the OMIDRIA royalty
obligation, an additional $16.9 million paid to repurchase our 2026 Notes and increased common stock repurchases of $7.2 million.
 
Net cash used in financing activities decreased $230.3 million during 2023 compared to the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to receiving
$125.0 million in 2022 in connection with selling a portion of our OMIDRIA royalties to DRI and extinguishing $95.0 million of our 2023 Notes. In
addition, we paid $4.9 million to retire $9.1 million par value of our 2026 Notes and repurchased $4.7 million of our common stock through a stock
repurchase program in 2023.
 
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
 
Operating and Finance Leases
 
We have operating leases related to our office and laboratory space. The initial term of the leases is through November 2027 and we have two options
to extend the lease term, each by five years. As of December 31, 2024, the remaining aggregate non-cancelable rent payable under the initial term of the
lease, excluding common area maintenance and related operating expenses, was $20.2 million.
 
We have finance leases for certain laboratory and office equipment that have lease terms expiring through October 2029. As of December 31, 2024, the
remaining aggregate non-cancellable finance lease payable was $2.2 million.

We have certain non-cancellable obligations under other agreements for the acquisitions of goods and services associated with the manufacturing of
our product candidates, which contain firm commitments. As of December 31, 2024, our aggregate firm commitments were $4.7 million.
 
We may be required, in connection with in-licensing or asset acquisition agreements, to make certain royalty and milestone payments and we cannot, at
this time, determine when or if the related milestones will be achieved or whether the events triggering the commencement of payment obligations will
occur. Therefore, such payments are not included in the table above. For information regarding agreements that include these royalty and milestone
payment obligations, see Part II, Item 8, “Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies” to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
 
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our
estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results could differ
from those estimates. An accounting policy is considered critical if it is important to a company’s financial condition and results of operations and if it
requires the exercise of significant judgment and the use of estimates on the part of management in its application. Although we believe that our judgments
and estimates are appropriate, actual results may differ materially from our estimates. For a summary of our critical accounting policies, see Part II, Item 8,
“Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies” to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
We believe the following to be our critical accounting policies because they are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of
operations and they require critical judgment by management and estimates about matters that are uncertain:
 
●     OMIDRIA royalties and contract asset accounting;
 
●     OMIDRIA royalty obligation accounting; and
 
●     accounting for debt issuances, primarily related to fair valuing debt and issuance costs.

If actual results or events differ materially from those contemplated by us in making these estimates, our reported financial condition and results of
operations for future periods could be materially affected.
 
OMIDRIA Royalties, Milestones and Contract Royalty Assets
 
We have rights to receive future royalties from Rayner on OMIDRIA net sales at royalty rates that vary based on geography and certain regulatory
contingencies. Therefore, future OMIDRIA royalties are treated as variable consideration. To measure the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset, we used the
expected value approach which is the discounted sum of probability-weighted royalty payments we would receive using a range of potential outcomes, to
the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative income recognized will not occur. Our calculations take the net present
value of the sum to arrive at the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset stated on the balance sheet. We revalued the contract royalty asset to reduce the
applicable royalty percentage from 50% to 30%, as required under the Asset Purchase Agreement following the occurrence of the Milestone Event
triggering the $200.0 million Milestone Payment in 2022. Royalties earned will be recorded as a reduction to the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset. The
amount recorded in discontinued operations in future periods will reflect interest earned on the outstanding OMIDRIA contract royalty asset and any
amounts received different from the expected royalties recorded at closing. The OMIDRIA contract royalty asset is subject to changes in net sales of
OMIDRIA. All else being equal, a 10% decrease or increase in net sales results in a $15.3 million change in value of the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset,
resulting in a potential OMIDRIA contract royalty asset valued within the range of $138.0 million to $168.7 million. Changes in net sales could occur due
to various risks such as competitors entering the market, changes in the standard of care for cataract patients and loss of separate payment status for
OMIDRIA. In determining the value of the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset, we have considered all of these factors. The OMIDRIA contract royalty asset
will be re-measured periodically using the expected value approach based on actual results and future expectations. Any required adjustment to the
OMIDRIA contract royalty asset will be recorded in discontinued operations.
 
We receive monthly royalty reports of Rayner’s OMIDRIA product sales in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement. Upon the closing of the
Asset Purchase Agreement, we determined the expected minimum net present value of future OMIDRIA royalty receipts and recognized the amount as a
gain on the sale of OMIDRIA in discontinued operations on our income statement and as an OMIDRIA contract royalty asset on our balance sheet. To
determine the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset, we used the expected value approach which is based on the sum of probability-weighted payments we
would receive using a range of potential outcomes at an implied effective interest rate of 11%. The contract royalty asset excludes any revenue which
potentially may be reversed in the event of an over estimation.
 
OMIDRIA Royalty Obligations
 
The sale of any portion of our OMIDRIA royalty receipts is treated as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet, as this does not result in the
transfer of a participating interest. We amortize royalty obligation liabilities over the term of the arrangement using the effective interest method and
classify interest expense as a component of continuing operations.
 
To the extent our estimates of future royalties are less than previous estimates, we will adjust the carrying amount of the royalty obligation to the
present value of the revised estimated cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate utilizing the cumulative catch-up method. The adjustment
would be recognized as a component of net income (loss) from continuing operations. Our estimate of cash flows from future royalties is derived from the
contract royalty asset accounting described above.

Debt Issuances 
 
Transactions involving contemporaneous exchanges of cash between the same debtor and creditor in connection with the issuance of a new debt
obligation and satisfaction of an existing debt obligation by the debtor are first evaluated as to whether they qualify as a troubled debt restructuring
(“TDR”) under ASC Topic 470-60, Debt - Troubled Debt Restructuring by Debtors (“ASC 470-60”).  ASC 470-60 requires debt modifications to be
evaluated if (1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, and (2) the lender grants the borrower a concession.  If both conditions are met under TDR
accounting, we would record as the carrying value of the new debt any repurchased old debt less any cash paid.  No gain on restructuring is recognized
unless the carrying value of the new debt exceeds the undiscounted cash flows of the new debt. Any cancellation of debt income is amortized over the term
of the new debt. We determined that the Initial Term Loan qualified as a TDR. Therefore, we amortized as debt premium the cancellation of debt income
from the partial repurchase of the 2026 Notes against the Initial Term Loan. If a TDR is determined to not have occurred, we evaluate the modification in
accordance with ASC Topic 470-50-40, Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments, which requires modification of debt instruments to be evaluated to
assess whether the modifications are considered “substantial”. In instances where our future cash flows change more than 10%, we record our debt at fair
value based on factors available to us for similar borrowings and use the extinguishment accounting method. We extinguished the 2023 Notes at maturity.
The partial repurchase of the 2026 Notes in 2023 was deemed to be a modification whereby we were able to recognize a $4.1 million gain on debt
extinguishment.

ITEM 7A.            QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 
 
Our exposure to market risk is primarily confined to our investment securities. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our
capital to fund operations, and we do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We also seek to maximize income from our
investments without assuming significant risk. To achieve our objectives, we maintain a portfolio of investments in high-credit-quality securities. As of
December 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $90.1 million. In accordance with our investment policy, we invest funds
in highly liquid, investment-grade securities. The money market funds in our investment portfolio are not leveraged and are classified as available-for-sale.
We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. Because of the short-term maturities of our investments, we do not believe that an increase in market rates
would have a material negative effect on the realized value of our investment portfolio. We actively monitor changes in interest rates and, with our current
portfolio of short-term investments, we are not exposed to significant loss due to changes in interest rates.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 
 
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Omeros Corporation
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Omeros Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
 
The Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in
Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has stated that substantial doubt exists about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters
are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required
to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
Critical Audit Matter
 
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or
required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2)
involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion
on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion
on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

OMIDRIA Contract Royalty Asset
 
Description of the
Matter
As more fully described in Note 2 of the financial statements, the Company recorded a contract royalty asset in connection with its
sale of OMIDRIA to Rayner Surgical, Inc. on December 23, 2021.  To measure that contract royalty asset, the Company used the
expected value approach, which is the discounted sum of the probability-weighted royalty payments using a range of potential
outcomes, to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative income recognized will not occur.
 
Auditing management’s forecasts of expected royalty payments is complex and requires judgment due to the level of estimation
uncertainty and the sensitivity of the asset’s value to changes in forecast assumptions. In particular, the value of the OMIDRIA
contract royalty asset is sensitive to changes in significant assumptions such as forecasted royalties due from Rayner Surgical, Inc. in
various scenarios, and the probability weighting of those scenarios, which are affected by expectations of future market and regulatory
conditions.
How We Addressed
the Matter in Our
Audit
To test the measurement of the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset, we performed audit procedures that included, among others,
evaluating (1) the estimated future royalties in various scenarios, and (2) management’s probability weighting of those scenarios. 
 
To evaluate the appropriateness and likelihood of occurrence of the estimated future royalties in various scenarios and probability
weighting included in management’s calculation, we considered historical results of the Company’s business and third-party data. We
verified the clerical accuracy of the contract royalty asset calculation and agreed it to royalty rates in the asset purchase agreement. We
also evaluated the Company’s disclosures in the consolidated financial statements related to these matters.

OMEROS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
General
 
Omeros Corporation (“Omeros,” the “Company” or “we”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to discovering, developing and
commercializing small-molecule and protein therapeutics for large-market as well as orphan indications targeting immunologic diseases, including
complement-mediated diseases and cancers related to dysfunction of the immune system, as well as addictive and compulsive disorders. 
 
Our clinical-stage development programs include: narsoplimab, our antibody targeting mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease 2 (“MASP-
2”), the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway of complement; OMS1029, our long-acting antibody targeting MASP-2; zaltenibart, also known as OMS906,
our antibody targeting mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-3 (“MASP-3”), the key activator of the alternative pathway of complement; and
OMS527, our phosphodiesterase 7 (“PDE7”) inhibitor program.
 
Clinical development of narsoplimab is currently focused primarily on hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy
(“TA-TMA”). We successfully completed a pivotal clinical trial for narsoplimab in TA-TMA and previously submitted to FDA a biologics license
application (“BLA”) seeking marketing approval for narsoplimab in this indication. In October 2021, FDA issued a complete response letter (“CRL”) with
respect to the original BLA and indicated that additional information would be needed to support regulatory approval. We appealed FDA’s decision to issue
the CRL through a formal dispute resolution process that concluded in late 2022. Although our appeal was denied, the decision identified potential paths for
resubmission of the BLA, including paths based on comparison of survival data from the completed pivotal trial versus a historical control group. Based on
the recommendations included in the appeal decision and on subsequent interactions with FDA’s review division, we developed a statistical analysis plan to
assess data from our pivotal clinical trial, existing data from a historical control population available from an external source and data from the narsoplimab
expanded access program. 
 
In March 2025, we resubmitted to FDA a BLA seeking regulatory approval for narsoplimab in TA-TMA. FDA has 30 days to decide whether the
application is sufficiently complete to permit a review of the BLA. Assuming FDA agrees to review the BLA, we expect the resubmission to be classified
as Type B, meaning that the target date for FDA action on the BLA under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) is expected to be in September
2025. As with any BLA or new drug application, there can be no guarantee that, even if  FDA agrees to review the BLA, that FDA will complete its review
within a given timeframe, or that our BLA will ultimately be approved.
 
Our lectin pathway program also includes OMS1029, our long-acting antibody targeting MASP-2. We have completed Phase 1 clinical trials
evaluating both single-ascending and multiple ascending doses of OMS1029. Results of these studies support once-quarterly dosing administered either
intravenously or subcutaneously. OMS1029 has been well tolerated to date with no safety concerns identified. We are evaluating several potential
indications for Phase 2 clinical development of OMS1029.
 
Our pipeline of clinical-stage complement-targeted therapeutic candidates also includes zaltenibart, a proprietary, patented monoclonal antibody
targeting MASP-3, the key and most proximal activator of the alternative pathway of complement. We have substantially completed two Phase 2 clinical
trials evaluating zaltenibart in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (“PNH”) and have an ongoing open label extension study to assess the long-term
efficacy and safety of zaltenibart in PNH patients who have completed either of the two Phase 2 clinical trials. We have initiated our Phase 3 clinical
development program for zaltenibart in this indication. We also have an ongoing program evaluating zaltenibart in C3G, a rare and debilitating renal
disease driven by complement dysregulation.
 
Our phosphodiesterase 7 (“PDE7”) inhibitor program, which we refer to as OMS527, comprises multiple PDE7 inhibitor compounds and is based on
our discoveries of previously unknown links between PDE7 and any addiction or compulsive disorder, and between PDE7 and any movement disorders. In
April 2023, we were awarded a grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (“NIDA”), part of the National Institutes of Health, to develop, at NIDA’s
request, our lead orally administered PDE7 inhibitor compound for the treatment of cocaine use disorder (“CUD”). NIDA awarded the grant to us for a
total of $6.24 million over three years, of which we have claimed and received $1.1 million of funding to date and recognized $1.3 million into Other
Income in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The grant is intended to support preclinical cocaine
interaction/toxicology studies to assess safety of the therapeutic candidate in the presence of concomitant cocaine administration, as well as an in-patient,
placebo-controlled clinical study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of OMS527 in adults with CUD who receive concurrent intravenous cocaine.
The preclinical study has been completed successfully and provides the drug-interaction safety data necessary to support the human study of OMS527 in
CUD. We expect enrollment in the study evaluating OMS527 in adult patients with CUD to begin in 2025, also fully funded by NIDA. 
 
We also have various programs in preclinical research and development.
 
OMIDRIA Sale and Royalty Monetization Transactions
 
On December 23, 2021, we closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Rayner Surgical Inc. (“Rayner”) for the
sale of our commercial product OMIDRIA, which we recorded as an OMIDRIA contract asset on our consolidated balance sheet. As a result of this
divesture, the results of OMIDRIA activities are classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
income (loss) and excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented (See “Note 7 – Discontinued Operations – Sale of OMIDRIA”).
 
On September 30, 2022, we sold an interest in a portion of our future OMIDRIA royalties to DRI Healthcare Acquisitions LP (“DRI”) and received
$125.0 million in cash consideration, which we recorded as an OMIDRIA royalty obligation on our consolidated balance sheet. Interest expense on the
royalty obligation is recorded as a component of continuing operations. 
 
On February 1, 2024, we sold an expanded interest in OMIDRIA royalties to DRI and received $115.5 million in cash consideration, which we
recorded as an addition to the OMIDRIA royalty obligation. The amended and restated royalty purchase agreement with DRI (the “Amendment”)
eliminates the previously existing annual caps on royalty payments after January 1, 2024, and provides that DRI receives all royalties on U.S. net sales of
OMIDRIA payable between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2031. All royalties earned on OMIDRIA sales within the U.S. through December 31, 2031
are remitted by Rayner to an escrow account established by Omeros, from which payments are made to DRI. After December 31, 2031, we will retain any

U.S. OMIDRIA royalties. We are entitled to retain all royalties on net sales of OMIDRIA outside of the United States. (See “Note 8 – OMIDRIA Royalty
Obligation”).
 
Term Loan and Repurchase of 2026 Notes
 
On June 3, 2024, we, with certain subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with funds
managed by Athyrium Capital Management (collectively “Athyrium”) and funds managed by Highbridge Capital Management (collectively “Highbridge”)
as Lenders (the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured term loan facility of up to $92.1 million, consisting of an initial term loan
of $67.1 million (the “Initial Term Loan”) and a $25.0 million delayed draw term loan (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”), which may be drawn once in full
upon notice delivered on or prior to June 3, 2025, conditioned on receipt of FDA approval of narsoplimab in TA-TMA within 30 days of the notice.
 
Also, we used the Initial Term Loan along with $21.7 million in cash on hand, to repurchase from the Lenders $118.1 million aggregate principal
amount of our existing 5.25% convertible senior notes due on February 15, 2026 (the “2026 Notes” and such repurchase, the “2026 Note Repurchase
Transaction”), which resulted in a $51.0 million reduction in our outstanding debt. (See “Note 6 – Debt” for a description of the Credit Agreement
provision).
 
Basis of Presentation
 
Our consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of Omeros and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-
company transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments and non-recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the fair presentation of such information. Our financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $90.1 million. Our cash used in operations for the year ended
December 31, 2024 was $148.8 million and included a net loss for the year of $156.8 million. Pursuant to a covenant in the Credit Agreement entered on
June 3, 2024, we must maintain $25.0 million of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at all times (see “Note 6 - Debt”).

Table of Contents
 
In recent years, Omeros has incurred net losses from continuing operations and negative cash flows from operations. The recurring losses, in
combination with our cash and investment balances as of December 31, 2024, and an expected repayment of a portion of the borrowings under our secured
credit facility on or prior to November 1, 2025, along with the maturity of the 2026 Notes on February 15, 2026, raises substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on
the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to our ability to
continue as a going concern.
 
As we currently do not have an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover our operating costs, we will need to raise additional capital to accomplish
our business plan. We have a sales agreement to sell shares of our common stock, from time to time, in an “at the market” equity offering facility through
which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock equaling an aggregate amount of up to $150.0 million. In addition, our Delayed Draw Term Loan
of $25.0 million may be drawn once in full upon notice delivered on or prior to June 3, 2025, conditioned on receipt of FDA approval of narsoplimab in
TA-TMA within 30 days of the notice; however, we do not expect that FDA approval of narsoplimab will be obtained within a timeframe that would permit
the Delayed Draw Term Loan to be drawn absent an amendment to, or waiver of, this condition. Proceeds of the Delayed Draw Term Loan, if available,
may only be used towards any related transaction costs and for commercialization of narsoplimab efforts of TA-TMA.
 
We may pursue additional debt financings to retire the 2026 Notes that remain outstanding and to fund operations. Should it be necessary or
determined to be strategically advantageous, we also could pursue public and private offerings of our equity securities, additional debt transactions or
restructurings, future royalty sales, or other strategic transactions, which may include licensing or selling a portion or all of one or more of our existing
technologies. However, pursuing debt financings, certain equity offerings or other strategic transactions may result in mandatory prepayments of the Initial
Term Loan to the Credit Agreement. (see “Note 6 — Debt” for further details).
 
If these capital resources, for any reason, are needed but inaccessible, it would have a significant negative impact on our financial condition. For
purposes of determining available capital resources, future royalty and/or milestone receipts are excluded. Should it be necessary, we plan to manage our
operating expenses and reduce our projected cash requirements by delaying clinical trials, reducing selected research and development efforts, or
implementing other restructuring activities.
 
The conditions described above, when evaluated in accordance with the relevant accounting literature, raise substantial doubt with respect to our
ability to meet our obligations through one year from the issuance of the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of 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. Significant items subject to such estimates include the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset
valuation and the OMIDRIA royalty obligation valuation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are
reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results could differ from these estimates. 
 
Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies 
 
Segment Reporting
 
We operate in one business segment focusing on the research, discovery, development and commercialization of small-molecule and protein
therapeutics targeting immunologic diseases, including complement-mediated diseases and cancers related to dysfunction of the immune system, as well as
addictive and compulsive disorders. The Company defines its operating segment based on internally reported financial information that is regularly used by
the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to analyze performance, make decisions and allocate resources. The Company's CODM is our Chief
Executive Officer. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has identified one operating and reportable segment. The CODM reviews net loss
and expenses reported on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The measurement of segment assets is reported on the
balance sheet as total consolidated assets. All long-lived assets are held in the U.S. Our segment net income (loss) aligns with our consolidated statement of
operations and comprehensive income (loss). 
 
Discontinued Operations 
 
We review the presentation of planned or completed business dispositions in the consolidated financial statements based on the available information
and events that have occurred. The review consists of evaluating whether the business meets the definition of a component for which the operations and
cash flows are clearly distinguishable from the other components of the business and, if so, whether it is anticipated that after the disposal the cash flows of
the component would be eliminated from continuing operations and whether the disposition represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on operations
and financial results.
 
Planned or completed business dispositions are presented as discontinued operations when all the criteria described above are met. For those
divestitures that qualify as discontinued operations, all comparative periods presented are reclassified in the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the
results of operations of a discontinued operation are reclassified to income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented in the
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Results of discontinued operations include all revenues and expenses directly
derived from such businesses. General corporate overhead is not allocated to discontinued operations. The OMIDRIA asset sale to Rayner qualifies as a
discontinued operation and has been presented as such for all reporting periods presented. The Company included information regarding cash flows from
discontinued operations (see “Note 7 – Discontinued Operations – Sale of OMIDRIA”).

Table of Contents
 
OMIDRIA Royalties, Milestones and Contract Royalty Assets
 
We have rights to receive future royalties from Rayner on OMIDRIA net sales at royalty rates that vary based on geography and certain regulatory
contingencies. Therefore, future OMIDRIA royalties are treated as variable consideration. The sale of OMIDRIA qualified as an asset sale under GAAP. To
measure the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset, we use the expected value approach which is the sum of the discounted probability-weighted royalty
payments we would receive using a range of potential outcomes, to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative
income recognized will not occur.
 
As contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, in December 2022, we earned a $200.0 million milestone payment (the “Milestone Payment”)
upon the establishment of separate payment for OMIDRIA for a continuous period of at least four years when furnished in the ambulatory surgery center
(“ASC”) setting (the “Milestone Event”). We received $200.0 million in February 2023. Upon achieving the Milestone Event, the royalty rate applicable to
U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA was reduced from 50% to 30%. The 30% royalty rate continues until the expiration or termination of the last issued and
unexpired U.S. patent, which we expect to occur no earlier than 2035. Consequently, in December 2022, we revalued the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset
using the 30% royalty rate on U.S. net sales and adjusted the probability weighted outcomes to reflect the occurrence of the Milestone Event.
 
Royalties earned are recorded as a reduction to the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset. The amount recorded in discontinued operations in future periods
will reflect interest earned on the outstanding OMIDRIA contract royalty asset at 11.0% and any amounts we receive that are different from the expected
royalties. The OMIDRIA contract royalty asset is re-measured periodically using the expected value approach based on actual results and future
expectations. Any required adjustment to the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset is recorded in discontinued operations. 
 
 
OMIDRIA Royalty Obligation
 
On September 30, 2022, we sold to DRI a portion of our future OMIDRIA royalty receipts for a purchase price of $125.0 million and recorded an
OMIDRIA Royalty Obligation for the same amount. On February 1, 2024, DRI purchased our remaining U.S. OMIDRIA royalty receipts through
December 31, 2031 for $115.5 million in cash, which increased the OMIDRIA royalty obligation by the same amount. The OMIDRIA royalty obligation is
valued based on our estimates of future OMIDRIA royalties and is amortized through December 31, 2031 using the implied effective interest rate of
10.27%. Interest expense is recorded as a component within continuing operations. 
 
To the extent our estimates of future royalties differ materially from the previous estimates, we will adjust for future OMIDRIA royalties to the present
value of the revised estimated cash flows, discounted at the implied effective interest rate of 10.27% utilizing the cumulative catch-up method. The offset to
the adjustment would be recognized as non-cash interest expense, a component of net income (loss) from continuing operations (see “Note 8 - OMIDRIA
Royalty Obligation”).
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short-Term Investments and Restricted Investments 
 
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less on the date of purchase which can be easily
converted into cash without a significant impact to their value. Short-term investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity, except for money market
funds which are classified as available-for-sale. Investments classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value. Investments classified as held-to-
maturity are carried at cost. Amortization, accretion, interest, and dividends, realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-
temporary are included within other income.
 
The cost of securities sold is based on the specific-identification method. Investments with maturities of less than one year, or those for which
management intends to use the investments to fund current operations, are included in current assets. We evaluate whether an investment is other-than-
temporarily impaired based on the specific facts and circumstances. Factors that are considered in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in
value has occurred include: the market value of the security in relation to its cost basis; the financial condition of the investee; and the intent and ability to
retain the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for recovery in the market value of the investment. Restricted investments held in money-
market funds include security deposits on our office lease.
 
Investment income, which is included as a component of other income, consists primarily of interest earned.

Inventory
 
We expense inventory costs related to product candidates as research and development expenses until regulatory approval is reasonably assured in the
U.S. or the European Union (“EU”). Once approval is reasonably assured, costs, including amounts related to third-party manufacturing, transportation and
internal labor and overhead, will be capitalized.
 
Receivables
 
Receivables primarily consist of royalties receivable from Rayner. Considering the nature of our receivables, we concluded an allowance for doubtful
accounts was not necessary as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
 
Property and Equipment, Net
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets,
which is generally between three to 10 years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
 
Right-of-Use Assets and Related Lease Liabilities
 
We record operating leases as right-of-use assets and recognize the related lease liabilities equal to the fair value of the lease payments using our
incremental borrowing rate when the implicit rate in the lease agreement is not readily available. We recognize variable lease payments when incurred.
Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.
 
We record finance lease obligations as a component of property and equipment and amortize these assets within operating expenses on a straight-line
basis to their residual values over the shorter of the term of the underlying lease or the estimated useful life of the equipment. The interest component of
finance lease obligations is included in interest expense and recognized using the effective interest method over the lease term.
 
We account for leases with initial terms of 12 months or less as an operating expense.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
We assess the impairment of long-lived assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparing the carrying value to future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to
generate. If the asset is impaired, the amount of any impairment will be reflected in the results of operations in the period of impairment. We have not
recognized any impairment losses for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
 
Payment on Maturity of the 2023 Notes
 
Transactions involving contemporaneous exchanges of cash between the same debtor and creditor in connection with the issuance of a new debt
obligation and satisfaction of an existing debt obligation are evaluated as a modification or an extinguishment depending on whether the exchange is
determined to have substantially different terms. On November 15, 2023, we extinguished our 6.25% convertible senior notes (the “2023 Notes”) at par
upon maturity. 
 
Repurchase of 2026 Notes
 
In December 2023, we repurchased $9.1 million par value of our 2026 Notes at a discount, realizing a $4.1 million non-cash gain on extinguishment. 
 
In June 2024, we performed an assessment of the Credit Agreement which was entered into with Highbridge and Athyrium and determined that it met
the criteria to be accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. As a result, the $29.3 million difference between the $118.1 million aggregate principal
amount of the 2026 Notes exchanged and the $88.8 million aggregate repurchase price (consisting of the $67.1 million Initial Term Loan and $21.7 million
cash on hand) was recorded as a premium (i.e. an increase) to the term debt recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet instead of being
recognized as a gain on early extinguishment of debt. The premium will be amortized as both a reduction of term debt in the consolidated balance sheet and
interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) over the duration of the term loan.

Table of Contents
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development expenses are comprised primarily of contracted research, clinical trial study and manufacturing costs prior to approval;
consulting services; contract milestones; materials and supplies; costs for personnel, including salaries, benefits and stock compensation; depreciation; an
allocation of our occupancy costs; and other expenses incurred to sustain our overall research and development programs. Advance payments for goods or
services that will be used for future research and development activities are deferred and then recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered
or the services are performed. All other research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Selling, General and Administrative
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of marketing expenses; professional and legal services; patent costs; and salaries,
benefits, and stock-compensation costs for marketing and other personnel not directly engaged in research and development. Additionally, selling, general
and administrative expenses include depreciation; an allocation of our occupancy costs; and other general corporate expenses. Advertising costs are
expensed as incurred. We had no advertising costs during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. 
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applied to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if
those positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon an examination by the relevant taxing authority. A valuation allowance is established when
it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for all share-based payments, including grants of stock option awards and restricted stock units based
on estimated fair values. The fair value of our stock is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires assumptions around
volatility, forfeiture rates, risk-free interest rate and expected term. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service periods, which is
generally the vesting period, using the straight-line method. Forfeiture expense is estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual
forfeitures differ from those estimates.
 
Common Stock Repurchases
 
We have repurchased shares of our common stock from time to time under authorization made by our Board of Directors. Under applicable
Washington State law, repurchased shares are retired and not presented separately as treasury stock in the consolidated financial statements. The terms of
the Credit Agreement dated June 3, 2024 prohibit us from repurchasing our common stock, unless agreed to by the Lenders. Consequently, the Board of
Directors terminated the active share repurchase program effective upon the execution of the Credit Agreement.
 
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and certain changes in equity that are excluded from net income
(loss). There were no differences between comprehensive income (loss) and net income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
 
Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are recorded at invoiced amount or cost, approximate fair value
based on the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of short-term investments is based on quoted market prices. Financial
instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and
receivables. Cash and cash equivalents are held by financial institutions and are federally insured up to certain limits. At times, our cash and cash
equivalents balance held at a financial institution may exceeds the federally insured limits. To limit the credit risk, we invest our excess cash in high-quality
securities such as money market mutual funds, certificates of deposit and U.S. treasury bills.  
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure
(Topic 740), to enhance the transparency of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 provides enhancements to the income tax disclosures related to the rate
reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and applied prospectively.
The Company is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In November 2024, the FASB issued 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic
220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the
notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for
interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial
statement disclosures.

Note 3—Net Income (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic net income (loss) per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average
number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Our potentially dilutive securities include common shares
related to our stock options, RSUs and convertible senior notes calculated using the treasury stock method. In periods where we have a net loss from
continuing operations but overall net income, we do not compute Diluted EPS because the effect would be antidilutive. Potentially dilutive securities
excluded from Diluted EPS are as follows:

Note 4—Investments and Fair-Value Measurements
 
All of our investments are short-term and held in our name. Money market funds are classified as available-for-sale and treasury bills are classified
as held-to-maturity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Interest income is included as a component of interest and other income on our
consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Interest and other income for the years ended December 31, 2024, December 31,
2023 and December 31, 2022 consists primarily of interest earned from investments of $8.4 million, $14.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, an exit price, in the principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting standard
establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three
levels of inputs required:
 
Level 1—Observable inputs for identical assets or liabilities, such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore they are developed using estimates and assumptions developed
by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

Note 6—Debt
 
Secured Term Debt
 
On June 3, 2024, we entered into a Credit Agreement, which provides for a term loan credit facility of up to $92.1 million, in aggregate, consisting of
an Initial Term Loan of $67.1 million and a Delayed Draw Term Loan of $25.0 million. The Delayed Draw Term Loan may be drawn once in full upon
notice delivered on or prior to June 3, 2025, conditioned on receipt of FDA approval of narsoplimab in TA-TMA within 30 days of the notice; however, we
do not expect that FDA approval of narsoplimab will be obtained within a timeframe that would permit the Delayed Draw Term Loan to be drawn absent
an amendment to, or waiver of, this condition. The Delayed Draw Term Loan would be issued with an original issue discount of 3.0% and the proceeds
may be used only for commercialization of narsoplimab in TA-TMA and transaction costs associated with the Delayed Draw Term Loan. Until the earlier
of November 1, 2025 and the date we elect to utilize the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the Company, at its sole discretion, may exchange up to $14.9 million
aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2026 Notes for cash and/or additional term loan amounts, with the holders of such notes becoming Lenders
under the Credit Agreement (any such additional term loans, together with the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the “Loans”). As of
December 31, 2024, no such additional exchanges have occurred. All indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is secured by a first-priority security
interest in and lien on substantially all our tangible and intangible property, subject to customary exceptions, and excluding royalty interests in OMIDRIA
and certain related rights.
 
In connection with our entry into the Credit Agreement, we used the Initial Term Loan of $67.1 million along with $21.7 million of cash on hand to
repurchase $118.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes held by the Lenders. The total aggregate purchase price of $88.8 million
represented a purchase price equal to approximately 75% of the par value of the 2026 Notes retired in the transaction. The reduction in the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of our 2026 Notes and incurrence of a new Initial Term Loan resulted in a $51.0 million reduction of our outstanding
debt. The $29.3 million difference between the $118.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes and the $88.8 million aggregate repurchase
price was recorded as a premium (i.e., an increase) to the long-term debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet instead of being recognized as a gain
on early extinguishment of debt. The premium is being amortized as both a non-cash reduction of long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets and
interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) over the duration of the term loan. 
 
The amount outstanding on the Initial Term Loan is as follows:

The Loans have a stated maturity date of June 3, 2028 and bear interest at an adjusted secured overnight financing rate (“adjusted SOFR”), subject to
a 3.0% floor, plus 8.75% per annum, payable quarterly from the closing date. As of December 31, 2024, the contractual interest rate on the
Loans was 13.32%. We have the option to pay all of the interest in cash or to pay 50% in cash and pay-in-kind (“PIK”), the remaining interest. When this
provision is elected, interest for the quarter, including both the cash interest and PIK interest, is calculated based on adjusted SOFR plus a 10.25% PIK
margin (instead of the customary 8.75% margin). The PIK interest is then added to the outstanding principal balance and interest is computed using the
original adjusted SOFR plus 8.75% margin rate. Due to the premium amortization on the Initial Term Loan, interest expense is currently being recognized
at an implied effective interest rate of 1.50%.

We may elect to prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, in cash, plus an applicable prepayment and/or make-whole premium. Under certain
circumstances, we are required to prepay all or a portion of the outstanding Loans, plus an applicable prepayment and/or make-whole premium, as
described below.

 
(1)   If, on November 1, 2025, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Notes that is not held by the Lenders equals or
exceeds $38.5 million and (ii) we have not made or delivered notice that we expect to make certain voluntary or mandatory prepayments under the
Credit Agreement of at least $20.0 million in the aggregate, then we would be required, on or prior to November 15, 2025, to make a $20.0 million
mandatory prepayment, together with a $1.0 million prepayment premium.
 
(2)   Upon the occurrence of a change in control, we must prepay the entire outstanding amount of the Loans, plus the applicable make-whole or
prepayment premium.
 
(3)   We must prepay the Loans in an amount equal to: (i) 25.0% of any milestone payments received from DRI or its affiliates on the basis of net
sales of OMIDRIA; (ii) 60.0% of the net cash proceeds (excluding transaction expenses and certain milestone payments) received by Omeros from
the sale or license of our assets (or in the case of an asset sale or license involving narsoplimab that occurs while any Delayed Draw Term
Loan is outstanding, an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds from such transaction); (iii) 100.0% of net cash proceeds of indebtedness
incurred by the Company other than as permitted by the Credit Agreement; and (iv) 100% of the net cash proceeds of insurance recoveries on loss of
property, except to the extent utilized to repair or replace the relevant assets within a specified time.
 
Voluntary and mandatory prepayments of the Loans are subject to payment of the following premiums: (i) during the first year of such Loans, a make-
whole premium plus 5.0% of the applicable prepayment amount (unless the prepayment is made in contemplation of a change of control, in which case
only the make-whole premium would be payable); (ii) during the second year, a prepayment premium equal to 5.0% of the applicable prepayment
amount; and (iii) during the third year, a prepayment premium equal to 3.0% of the applicable prepayment amount.
 
The Credit Agreement contains certain customary default provisions, representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants. These
include a covenant requiring us to maintain at all times unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of at least $25.0 million in accounts
subject to control agreements and a covenant limiting the use of cash for open market or privately negotiated repurchases of any outstanding 2026 Notes to:
(i) an initial amount not exceeding $25.0 million, which may be increased by up to an additional $10.0 million subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions; (ii) an unlimited amount, if the amount of the Loans outstanding at the time of repurchase does not exceed $38.5 million; and (iii) an additional
amount not to exceed 50% of the net cash proceeds from an equity offering, provided that the Company offers to prepay an equal amount of the Loans with
the net cash proceeds of such offering. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement. After
review of the customary default provisions, affirmative and negative covenants, and voluntary and mandatory prepayment options, we determined that
the net derivative asset was not significant as of December 31, 2024. A default under the Credit Agreement that results in the outstanding debt thereunder
being declared due and payable prior to the stated maturity would constitute a cross-default under the indenture governing the 2026 Notes. In such an event,
the principal and all accrued and unpaid interest on the 2026 Notes may be declared immediately due and payable either by the trustee under the indenture,
or by the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes outstanding.
 
The fair value of the Loans is classified as a Level 3 liability. As of December 31, 2024, the approximate fair value of our Loan obligations was
$69.5 million. We determined the fair market value by discounting the future cash flows based on adjusted SOFR at each measurement date.
 
2023 Unsecured Convertible Senior Notes
 
We extinguished the $95.0 million outstanding on our 2023 Notes at par upon maturity on November 15, 2023. The following table sets forth interest

2026 Unsecured Convertible Senior Notes
 
We have outstanding unsecured convertible senior notes which accrue interest at an annual rate of 5.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears
on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The 2026 Notes mature on February 15, 2026, unless earlier purchased, redeemed or converted in accordance
with their terms.
 
In 2024, we repurchased $118.1 million of principal amount outstanding on our 2026 Notes for a total aggregate repurchase price of $88.8 million
(approximately 75% of par value), using proceeds from the Initial Term Loan of $67.1 million and paying $21.7 million of cash on hand.

(1) The fair value is classified as Level 2 liability due to the limited trading activity for the unsecured convertible senior notes. The fair value of the
2026 Notes is determined based on quoted prices in an over-the counter market using the most recent trading information available at the end of the
reporting period. The value of the conversion feature of the 2026 Notes is not deemed to be significant as the current market price of our common stock is
below the initial conversion price of $18.49 per share of common stock.
 

The unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.7 million as of December 31, 2024 will be amortized to interest expense at an effective interest rate of
5.89% over the remaining term.
 
The following table sets forth interest expense recognized related to the 2026 Notes:

The conversion rate is 54.0906 shares of our common stock per $1,000 of note principal (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately
$18.4875 per share of common stock), which equals approximately 5.3 million shares issuable upon conversion, subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances.
 
The 2026 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders on or after November 15, 2025 at any time prior to the close of business on February 12,
2026, the second scheduled trading day immediately before the stated maturity date of February 15, 2026. Additionally, holders may convert their 2026
Notes at their option at specified times prior to the maturity date only if:
 
(1)   during any calendar quarter, the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price of the 2026 Notes
for each of at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately
preceding calendar quarter; 
 
(2)   during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five-consecutive-trading-day period (such five-consecutive-trading-day period,
the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period
was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such
trading day;
 
(3)   there is an occurrence of one or more certain corporate events or distributions of our common stock; or 
 
(4)   we call the 2026 Notes for redemption.
 
We will settle any conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our
common stock, at our election, based on the applicable conversion rate(s).
 
Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, we may redeem in whole or in part the 2026 Notes at our option beginning August 15, 2023 through
the 50th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be
redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The 2026 Notes are subject to redemption only if certain requirements are satisfied, including that the last
reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive,
during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date we send the related redemption notice and (ii)
the trading day immediately before the date we send such notice.
 
In order to reduce the dilutive impact or potential cash expenditure associated with the conversion of the 2026 Notes, we entered into capped call
transactions in connection with the issuances of the 2026 Notes (the "2026 Capped Call"). The 2026 Capped Call will cover, subject to anti-dilution
adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2026 Notes, the number of shares of common stock underlying the 2026 Notes when our
common stock is trading within the range of $18.49 and $26.10. However, should the market price of our common stock exceed the $26.10 cap, then the
conversion of the 2026 Notes would have an additional dilutive impact or may require a cash expenditure to the extent the market price exceeds the cap
price. The 2026 Capped Call will expire on various dates over the 50-trading-day period ranging from December 2, 2025 to February 12, 2026, if not
exercised earlier. The 2026 Capped Call is a separate transaction and not part of the terms of the 2026 Notes and was executed separately from the issuance
of the 2026 Notes. The amount paid for the 2026 Capped Call was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet. As
of December 31, 2024, approximately 12.2 million shares remained outstanding under the 2026 Capped Call. We also retain all potential future value of the
capped call purchased in connection with the issuance of the 2026 Notes covering all shares underlying the original 2026 Notes.
 
Further, we concluded the 2026 Capped Call qualifies for a derivative scope exception for instruments that are both indexed to an entity’s own stock
and classified in stockholders’ equity in its balance sheet. Consequently, the fair value of the 2026 Capped Call of $23.2 million is classified as equity, not
accounted for as derivatives, and will not be subsequently remeasured.

Note 7—Discontinued Operations - Sale of OMIDRIA
 
On December 23, 2021, we sold the rights to OMIDRIA and related assets to Rayner, which is reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. 
 
In December 2022, we earned a $200.0 million Milestone Payment upon the occurrence of an event specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement with
Rayner. The Milestone Payment was received in February 2023. The Milestone Event also resulted in a reduction in the U.S. royalty rate from 50% to 30%
on OMIDRIA net sales. 
 
The results of operations for OMIDRIA are recorded as income from discontinued operations for all periods presented in the consolidated statements

Net cash provided by discontinued operations primarily represents royalties received and the $200.0 million milestone payment that we collected from
Rayner in February 2023. All royalties earned on OMIDRIA sales within the U.S. through December 31, 2031 are remitted by Rayner to an escrow account
established by Omeros, from which payments are made to DRI.
 
 
Note 8—OMIDRIA Royalty Obligation
 
In September 2022, we sold to DRI an interest in our future OMIDRIA royalty receipts and received $125.0 million in cash consideration which was
recorded as an OMIDRIA royalty obligation on our consolidated balance sheet. DRI was entitled to receive royalties on OMIDRIA net sales between
September 1, 2022 and December 31, 2030 up to certain annual cap limits.
 
In February 2024, Omeros and DRI expanded their royalty purchase agreement under the Amendment, resulting in the elimination of previously
existing annual caps on royalty payments and Omeros receiving an additional $115.5 million in cash consideration which we accounted for as a
modification of our existing debt from DRI. All royalties earned on OMIDRIA sales within the U.S. through December 31, 2031 are remitted by Rayner to
an escrow account established by Omeros, from which payments are made to DRI. 
 
We retain the right to receive all royalties payable by Rayner on any U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA after December 31, 2031 and all royalties on global
net sales of OMIDRIA from and after December 31, 2031. To date, international royalties have not been significant. DRI has no recourse to our assets other
than in its interest in OMIDRIA royalties.
 
We are also entitled to receive a milestone payment ranging between $10.0 million and $27.5 million if U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA reach applicable
thresholds ranging between a total of $156.0 million and $160.0 million for any period of four consecutive quarters prior to January 1, 2026. In addition,
we are entitled to receive a separate milestone payment ranging between $8.0 million and $27.5 million if U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA reach applicable
thresholds ranging between a total of $181.0 million and $185.0 million for any period of four consecutive quarters prior to January 1, 2028.

The OMIDRIA royalty obligation is classified as a Level 3 liability as its valuation requires substantial judgment and estimation of factors that are not
currently observable in the market. The fair value of the OMIDRIA royalty obligation is determined by calculating the net present value of our estimated
future OMIDRIA cash flows using the interest rate at inception of our royalty purchase agreement with DRI, adjusted for the change in the prime rate
through the remeasurement date. As of December 31, 2024, the approximate fair value of our obligation was $209.7 million.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we incurred interest expense of $15.0 million, $11.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, on
the OMIDRIA royalty obligation.

Note 10—Commitments and Contingencies
 
Contracts
 
We have various agreements with third parties that collectively require payment of termination fees totaling $4.7 million as of December 31, 2024 if
we cancel the work within specific time frames, either prior to commencing or during performance of the contracted services.
 
Development Milestones and Product Royalties
 
We have entered a variety of development, collaboration, licensing or similar agreements with third parties under which we have accessed technology
or services in connection with our development assets and programs. Some of these agreements require milestone payments based on achievements of
development, regulatory or sales milestones, and/or low-single to low-double digit royalties on net income or net sales of the relevant product. For the year
ended December 31, 2024, we did not pay any development milestones. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we paid $5.0 million and
$0.3 million, respectively in development milestones. 
 
Note 11—Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit)
 
Common Stock
 
As of December 31, 2024, we had reserved shares of common stock under our equity plans as follows:
 
Stock options outstanding
   
16,690,882 
Awards available to issue under the 2017 Plan
   
6,881,912 
Total shares reserved
   
23,572,794 
 
At the Market Sales Agreement – We have a sales agreement to sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0
million, from time to time, through an “at the market” equity offering program.
 
Amendment of 2017 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan - At our June 23, 2023 annual meeting, our shareholders approved a 5,000,000 share
increase in the number of shares of common stock available for grant under the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended and restated.
 
Share Repurchase Program - On November 9, 2023, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we were permitted
to repurchase from time to time up to $50.0 million of our common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. For the year
ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased and retired 1.8 million shares of common stock at an average price of $2.54 per share for an aggregate purchase
price of $4.7 million. During the first quarter of 2024, we repurchased and retired 3.2 million shares of common stock at an average of $3.71 per share
for an aggregate purchase price of $11.9 million. The terms of the Credit Agreement prohibit us from repurchasing our common stock unless expressly
agreed to by the Lenders. Consequently, the Board of Directors terminated the share repurchase program effective upon execution the Credit Agreement in
June 2024.

Note 12—Stock-Based Compensation
 
Our equity plans provide for the grant of incentive and non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock
units, performance units, performance shares and other stock and cash awards to employees and consultants. Stock options are granted with an exercise
price not less than the fair market value of Omeros’ common stock on the date of the grant. Any unexercised options expire 10 years from grant date, and
any unvested stock options granted which are subsequently canceled become available for future reissuance.
 
Vesting schedules for our equity plans generally are as follows:
 
Grant Type
Vesting Schedule
Employee initial options grants
25% at one-year anniversary, 1/48 monthly thereafter

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock price weighted by grant issuances over the reporting period. We estimated the
expected life of the stock options granted using the historical exercise behavior of option holders. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury
yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Forfeiture expense is estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ
from those estimates.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, for federal and state income tax purposes, we have net income from continuing operations and from
discontinued operations. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had net losses from continuing operations and net income from
discontinued operations. At December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we had federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately
$331.7 million, $398.6 million and $361.4 million, respectively. At December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we had state NOL carryforwards of approximately
$233.2 million, $245.8 million and $226.3 million, respectively. In 2024 and 2022, we had net income for federal income tax purposes. Therefore, we
utilized existing NOLs of $62.5 million and $268.6 million, respectively, to fully offset our federal tax liability for both periods. In 2023, we had a net loss
for federal income tax purposes and no federal tax liability. We recorded state income tax expense of $0.3 million, $0.5 million and $4.0 million in
discontinued operations in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, as we did not have adequate NOLs and tax credits to fully offset our state tax liability.
 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax effect of NOL and tax credit carryforwards and the net temporary difference between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

As of December 31, 2024, we had federal NOL carryforwards of approximately $331.7 million and state NOL carryforwards of approximately
$233.2 million. Pre-2018 federal NOLs of $45.2 million expire between 2035 and 2037. Post-2018 federal NOLs of $286.5 million do not expire. Research
and development tax credit carryforwards of $104.9 million expire between 2025 and 2044.
 
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted on December 22, 2017 and includes the requirement to capitalize and amortize research and experimental
expenditures beginning in 2022. Prior to 2022, we expensed these costs as incurred for tax purposes.

As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $4.5 million, $2.0 million and $0.2 million,
respectively. Interest and penalties of $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, were included within our unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31,
2024 and December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, $4.2 million of the total unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would have an impact on our
effective tax rate. We estimate that there will be no material changes in uncertain tax positions for the next 12 months. The Company's policy is to
recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
 
The following table summarizes the activities related to our gross unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands):

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2024. 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 the evaluation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024, our principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent
limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and
breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management
override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over
financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the
process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
 
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers, conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 framework). Based on the results of this
assessment and on those criteria, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024.
 
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-
15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter of 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.

RECITALS
 
A.    WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain Lease dated as of January 27, 2012 (the “Original Lease”), as amended by that
certain First Amendment to Lease dated as of November 5, 2012, that certain Second Amendment to Lease dated as of November 16, 2012, that certain
Third Amendment to Lease dated as of October 16, 2013, that certain Fourth Amendment to Lease dated as of September 8, 2015, that certain Fifth
Amendment to Lease dated as of September 1, 2016 (the “Fifth Amendment”), that certain Sixth Amendment to Lease dated as of October 18, 2018, that
certain Seventh Amendment to Lease dated as of April 15, 2019, that certain Eighth Amendment to Lease dated as of October 28, 2019, that certain Ninth
Amendment to Lease dated as of January 15, 2020, that certain Tenth Amendment to Lease dated as of September 15, 2020, that certain Eleventh

Amendment to Lease dated as of June 1, 2021, that certain Fourteenth Amendment to Lease dated as of January 14, 2022, that certain Fifteenth
Amendment to Lease dated as of November 1, 2022 and that certain Sixteenth Amendment to Lease dated as of July 8, 2024 (collectively, and as the same
may have been further amended, amended and restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Existing Lease”), whereby Tenant leases certain
premises (the “Existing Premises”) from Landlord at 201 Elliott Avenue West in Seattle, Washington (the “Building”);
 
B.    WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant wish to terminate the Existing Lease with respect to the Fourth Additional Vivarium Premises (as defined
in the Fifth Amendment) only;
 
C.    WHEREAS, for clarity, the Fourth Additional Vivarium Premises are Suites 156 and 156A;
 
D.    WHEREAS, Tenant wishes to lease certain other additional premises from Landlord in the Building’s Vivarium as set forth herein; and
 
E.    WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to modify and amend the Existing Lease only in the respects and on the conditions hereinafter stated.
 
AGREEMENT
 
NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and Tenant, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
 
 
 

 
 
1.    Definitions. For purposes of this Amendment, capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Existing Lease unless
otherwise defined herein. The Existing Lease, as amended by this Amendment, is referred to collectively herein as the “Lease.” From and after the date
hereof, the term “Lease,” as used in the Existing Lease, shall mean the Existing Lease, as amended by this Amendment.
 
2.    Termination of Fourth Additional Vivarium Premises. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that (i) Tenant exercised its option to
terminate the Fourth Additional Vivarium Premises (as defined in the Fifth Amendment); (ii) Landlord hereby waives the requirement that Tenant provide
at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of such termination to Landlord as set forth in Section 7.b. of the Fifth Amendment; (iii) Landlord hereby
waives the requirement that Tenant surrender the Fourth Additional Vivarium Premises in the condition required under the Lease (including, without
limitation, Section 18.2 and Article 26 of the Lease); and, (iv) therefore, the Fourth Additional Vivarium Termination Date (as defined in the Fifth
Amendment) shall be September 30, 2024. Accordingly, from and after the Fourth Additional Vivarium Termination Date, the Lease with respect to the
Fourth Additional Vivarium Premises only shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of their respective
obligations under the Lease with respect to the Fourth Additional Vivarium Premises only, including any obligation on the part of Tenant to pay any Rent
for the Fourth Additional Vivarium Premises (including any monthly Base Rent).
 
3.    Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises. Effective as of the Effective Date, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from
Landlord, approximately one thousand one hundred thirty-four (1,134) aggregate additional square feet of Rentable Area located collectively in Suites 158
and 158A in the Building’s Vivarium, as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises”), for use by Tenant in
accordance with the Permitted Use and in accordance with all other terms and conditions of the Lease. From and after the Effective Date, the term
“Premises,” as used in the Lease shall mean the Existing Premises plus the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises, and the term “Tenant’s Vivarium
Space,” as used in the Lease, shall mean the Tenant’s existing Vivarium space plus the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises.
 
4.    Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises Term. The Term of the Lease with respect to the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises (as the same
may be earlier terminated in accordance with the Lease, the “Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and
shall expire on the Term Expiration Date. Failure by Tenant to obtain validation by any medical review board or other similar governmental licensing of the
Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises required for the Permitted Use by Tenant shall not serve to extend the commencement of the Twelfth Additional
Vivarium Premises Term.
 
5.    Condition of Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any
representation or warranty with respect to the condition of the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises or with respect to the suitability of the Twelfth
Additional Vivarium Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business. Tenant acknowledges that (a) it is fully familiar with the condition of the Twelfth
Additional Vivarium Premises and agrees to take the same in its condition “as is” as of the commencement of the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises
Term and (b) Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, repair or otherwise prepare the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises for Tenant’s occupancy or to
pay for or construct any improvements to the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises. Tenant’s taking of possession of the Twelfth Additional Vivarium
Premises shall, except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant, conclusively establish that the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises
were at such time in good, sanitary and satisfactory condition and repair.
 
 
2

 
 
6.    Base Rent and Additional Rent. In addition to all Base Rent for the Existing Premises, commencing on the commencement of the Twelfth
Additional Vivarium Premises Term and continuing for the duration of the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (in
accordance with the provisions of the Lease) Base Rent for the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises. Base Rent (including the monthly installments of
Base Rent) for the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises shall equal the applicable amounts set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. In addition to all
Additional Rent for the Existing Premises, commencing as of the commencement of the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises Term and continuing for the
duration of the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Additional Rent (as defined in, and in accordance with the
provisions of, the Lease) with respect to the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises.
 
7.    Pro Rata Share. Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Project with respect to the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises shall be 0.75%. Therefore,
commencing as of the commencement of the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises Term, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Project for the entire Premises
(i.e., the Existing Premises plus the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises) shall be 74.03%.
 
8.    Termination Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease, but only with
respect to the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises (and no less than all of the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises), by providing written notice (the
“Twelfth Additional Vivarium Termination Notice”) to Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to Tenant’s desired termination date (the “Twelfth Additional
Vivarium Termination Date”), which Twelfth Additional Vivarium Termination Date shall be set forth in the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Termination
Notice. Subject to (a) Landlord’s timely receipt of the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Termination Notice and (b) Tenant surrendering the Twelfth Additional
Vivarium Premises in the condition required under the Lease (including, without limitation, Section 18.2 and Article 26 of the Lease), then, as of the
Twelfth Additional Vivarium Termination Date, the Lease with respect to the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises only shall terminate and be of no
further force or effect, and Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of their respective obligations under the Lease with respect to the Twelfth Additional
Vivarium Premises only from and after the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Termination Date, except with respect to those obligations set forth in the Lease
that expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination thereof, including payment by Tenant of all amounts owed by Tenant pursuant to the Lease with
respect to the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises for the period up to and including the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Termination Date. The termination
right granted to Tenant pursuant to this Section shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect in the event that (y) Tenant assigns,
subleases or otherwise Transfers the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises or any portion thereof to other entities or persons, other than in connection with
an Exempt Transfer (or in connection with any sublease approved by Landlord pursuant to Article 29 of the Lease), or (z) Tenant’s right to possession of
the Twelfth Additional Vivarium Premises has previously been terminated. The termination right granted to Tenant pursuant to this Section is personal to
Omeros Corporation, a Washington corporation (“Omeros”) and any Permitted Transferees of Omeros, and may not be exercised by any other assignee,
sublessee or transferee of Tenant’s or a Permitted Transferee’s interest in the Lease.
 
3

 
 
9.    Broker. Tenant represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any broker or agent in the negotiation for or the obtaining of this Amendment
and agrees to reimburse, indemnify, save, defend (at Landlord’s option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense) and hold harmless the Landlord Indemnitees for, from and against any and all cost or liability for compensation claimed by any such broker or
agent employed or engaged by it or claiming to have been employed or engaged by it.
 
10.    No Default. Tenant represents, warrants and covenants that, to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, Landlord and Tenant are not in default of any
of their respective obligations under the Existing Lease and no event has occurred that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice (or both) would
constitute a default by either Landlord or Tenant thereunder.
 
11.    Effect of Amendment. Except as modified by this Amendment, the Existing Lease and all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and
conditions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and affirmed. In the event of any conflict between the terms contained in this
Amendment and the Existing Lease, the terms herein contained shall supersede and control the obligations and liabilities of the parties.
 
12.    Successors and Assigns. Each of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in this Amendment shall inure to the benefit of and
shall apply to and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legatees, devisees, executors, administrators and permitted successors and
assigns and sublessees. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the provisions of the Lease restricting assignment or subletting.
 
13.    Miscellaneous. This Amendment becomes effective only upon execution and delivery hereof by Landlord and Tenant. The captions of the
paragraphs and subparagraphs in this Amendment are inserted and included solely for convenience and shall not be considered or given any effect in
construing the provisions hereof. All exhibits hereto are incorporated herein by reference. Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by
Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option for a lease, and shall not be effective as a lease, lease amendment or otherwise until execution by and
delivery to both Landlord and Tenant.
 
14.    Authority. Tenant guarantees, warrants and represents that the individual or individuals signing this Amendment have the power, authority
and legal capacity to sign this Amendment on behalf of and to bind all entities, corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, joint venturers or
other organizations and entities on whose behalf such individual or individuals have signed.
 
4

 
 
15.    Counterparts; Facsimile, Electronic and PDF Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which,
when taken together, shall constitute one and the same document. A facsimile, electronic or portable document format (PDF) signature on this Amendment
shall be equivalent to, and have the same force and effect as, an original signature.

any result of having to take additional security or safety precautions, of increasing the costs in performing obligations under the QA or hereunder,
Vetter shall inform Customer thereof and an amendment to the Development Schedule shall be executed in advance; provided, however, that any
increase in cost shall not be effective unless and until mutually agreed with Customer or, if not agreed, Section 18(4) shall apply. Customer shall

(6)  Inadequate Delivery. Any delay in the Manufacture, for the Development Work, arising from inadequate delivery of the Customer Materials (whether
such delay is based on inadequacy of quality, quantity, missing documents or otherwise) shall postpone any Delivery Date requested by Customer and
previously confirmed by Vetter until such other date that Vetter may reasonably determine in its sole discretion, after good faith consultation of
Customer, taking into account such factors as Facility capacity, other production commitments and similar business factors, and Section 8(2) shall
respectively apply to any postponement of production or Delivery Date. Any inadequate delivery of Customer Materials for the Development Work,
inadequate only in terms of quantity or API Delivery Date and not in respect of quality, missing documents, or otherwise, that results in Vetter being
unable to run a scheduled batch in a reserved slot without violation of GMP, shall be considered a cancellation of the Development Work under the
respective Purchase Order, and Vetter shall be compensated as set forth in Section 8(2); provided, however, for purposes of clarity, any such
inadequate delivery with respect to quantity or API Delivery Date of Customer Materials that nevertheless permits running a batch in compliance with
GMP, and for any indadequacy in API Delivery Date also in Vetter’s discretion exercised in good faith with respect to its or Vetter Pharma’s SOPs,
shall not be considered a cancellation of the entire slot, but, rather, if such an inadequate delivery results in less than the originally reserved capacity
of Vetter Pharma being used, Customer shall be responsible for payment to Vetter of compensation in the amount of a partial cancellation, based pro
rata on the capacity not utilized.
 
 
(7)  Surplus, Storage. For the Development Work, Vetter shall notify Customer in writing of any surplus of the Customer Materials and any such surplus
shall, if not usable for the Manufacture, be disposed of, returned to Customer or otherwise handled, all as reasonably directed by and at the cost and/or
expense of Customer. All Customer Materials to be used for the Development Work shall be stored at the Facility, at no cost or expense payable by
Customer except if for longer than [***] after the date of release of the Customer Materials for use in Manufacture at the Facility, in which event
compensation for storage separately invoiced in accordance with Vetter’s standard schedule shall be due.
 
ARTICLE 4: PRODUCT DELIVERY DATE AND DELAYS
 
 
(1)  Product Delivery. Any quantity of Product, for the Development Work and/or the Commercial Work, shall be delivered on the Business Day mutually

determine, along with subsequent written notification to Customer that the Product is ready for pick-up (any foregoing date, “Delivery Date”);
provided, however, Vetter may reasonably and in good faith take into account for any agreement on or determination of the Delivery Date such factors
as Facility capacity, other production commitments and similar business factors.
 
 
(2)  Product Delivery Delays. Customer shall be informed of any delivery delay caused by Vetter, for the Development Work and/or the Commercial
Work, as soon as possible if unforeseen circumstances cause any such delay in which event Customer agrees not to unreasonably refuse a requested
extension period; provided, however, Customer shall not be required to grant any extension that delays the Delivery Date to later than [***] past the
originally scheduled Delivery Date. If Vetter should not be able to timely fulfill or fulfill in full a Purchase Order in accordance with the terms hereof,
Vetter shall notify Customer (in writing, by email), and the Parties shall discuss, and agree in good faith on an alternative Delivery Date, such
agreement not to be unreasonably withheld. Upon any such inability (other than Force Majeure) not cured within [***] of the originally scheduled
Delivery Date, Customer may cancel all Purchase Orders accepted by Vetter affected by such inability, such cancellation being the sole remedy for
any such delay or inability to deliver to the circumstances set forth in Section 21(4).

arrange for shipment and in-time Product pick-up, using the Vetter delivery management system which includes reserving pick-up time slots provided
by Vetter.
 
(2)    Risk. For the Development Work and/or the Commercial Work, the risk of loss of or damage to the Product, except for that caused by negligence or
willful misconduct of Vetter and/or any of its Affiliates, as under this Agreement assumed by Vetter, shall pass to Customer at such time the Product is
made available to a carrier of Customer on the Delivery Date, or if, for any reason, Customer fails to (i) arrange for pick-up within [***] following
Vetter Pharma’s notice of Product release; (ii) accept without cause delivery of any Products that Manufacture of which conformed to the Standard on
the Delivery Date or thereafter when ready for pick-up; or (iii) provide appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorization causing Vetter’s
inability to deliver the Product on time; provided, however, unless Vetter agrees to store released Product for Customer after release in accordance with
Vetter’s storage fee schedule, at pricing which also considers that Vetter is not liable for Products which should have been already picked-up by
Customer, in which case risk of loss shall not pass to Customer until the end of such agreed storage period.
 
 
(3)  Product Storage. For the Development Work and/or the Commercial Work, Vetter shall cause Vetter Pharma to store the Products at the Facility, as in
Section 3(1) or Section 11(7), respectively, set forth in respect of the Materials, until the Delivery Date, subject to the provisions set forth in Section
7(4) or Section 14(2), respectively, which shall be respectively applicable to the storage of Product referred to under Section 3(7). In the event of pick-
up delay, for the Development Work and/or the Commercial Work, Vetter shall cause Vetter Pharma to warehouse such Product, in accordance with
the mutually agreed upon storage specifications for Product; provided, however, Vetter and/or its Affiliates shall have no liability for any Products
stored at the Facility due to pick-up delay (except in the event of willful misconduct or gross negligence of Vetter and/or any of its Affiliates), and
Article 7 and/or Article 14 shall not apply (unless specifically separately agreed, in which event Vetter shall be liable as in this Agreement provided,
and storage fees separately invoiced shall be due). Section 3(4) or Section 11(2), respectively, shall respectively apply to the Product stored due to
such pick-up delay, and Customer shall not be invoiced by Vetter, for storage at the Facility of such Product not picked up timely, for a period of [***]
from the date of notice of Product release or notification for pick-up and thereafter, Customer shall compensate Vetter per each month of storage
thereof (to be pro-rated) in the amount of [***], the Manufacture of which has been performed in accordance with the Standard.

instructions of Vetter, either return the rejected batch to the Facility or dispose of the Product at the cost of Vetter if the Product has not been
Manufactured in accordance with the Standard.
 
 
(2)  Approval. For the Development Work, any Product and/or batch documentation not rejected as in the preceding Section described shall be deemed
accepted and approved by Customer to the extent that either thereof may contain any non-latent defect. Any Product and/or batch documentation
containing any latent defect shall be deemed accepted and approved, unless rejected by written notice to Vetter within a period of [***] after delivery
thereof; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be construed as to limit the duration of any statutes of limitations applicable to any rights of
Customer which may arise out of any latent defects fraudulently concealed or caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct of Vetter and/or any
of its Affiliates. Customer shall notify Vetter in writing promptly after the discovery of any latent defect.

liability to Customer (or any third party on behalf of Customer, specifically including any insurer of Customer) for any loss of or damage to the
Customer Materials (whether included as part of the Product or otherwise, whether before Manufacture or thereafter) once delivered to the Facility,
except (i) in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence by Vetter and/or any of its Representatives, in which exception event Vetter shall
compensate Customer for such API loss by the replacement value of the API; or (ii) if Vetter and/or any of its Representatives shall have been deemed
having performed in slight or normal negligence and such occurrence could not have been covered by the all-risk property insurance of Customer as
referred to in Section 3(4), in which exception event the only responsibility or liability of Vetter for itself and/or any of its Representatives shall be for
Vetter to compensate Customer for any such loss by [***].

provided, however, that if Vetter did not deliver the invoice by e-mail to Customer on the date of the invoice, which date was a Business Day for
Customer, then payment shall be due [***] as of the Business Day of receipt of the invoice by Customer. If Customer pays later than the [***] period

ARTICLE 11: MATERIALS FOR COMMERCIAL WORK
 
 
(1)  Delivery. For the Commercial Work, upon prior written notice to Vetter, Customer shall timely supply and deliver or have timely supplied and
delivered to the Facility, at least [***], or other lead time as may be otherwise agreed, prior to the filling date as agreed between the Parties, [***] as
directed by Vetter as to place, time and quantity, free of charge and at the full risk (including during shipment) of Customer (except as otherwise set
forth in Section 21(4) below), including with respect to any applicable transport insurance, such quantity of the Customer Materials as required to
properly undertake the necessary preparations for the Manufacture of the Product and to timely fulfill Purchase Orders, all in accordance with the
Quality Agreement, and to timely perform the Commercial Work. Such delivery shall include all documents required for the Manufacture, including
quality certificates for the Customer Materials as set forth in the Quality Agreement, and, at minimum, with a certificate of analysis and a certificate
of conformance, materials safety data sheet, transportation and import documents and any other documents, upon which certificates and documents
Vetter and/or its Representatives may fully rely without further investigation. Vetter may have rejected any supply and delivery of the Customer
Materials if any thereof was not (i) ordered by Vetter; (ii) announced within reasonable time prior thereto; (iii) accompanied by complete
documentation.
 
 
(2)  Status. The Customer Materials used for the Commercial Work shall at all times remain the property of Customer. During the Commercial Work,
Customer shall be and remain responsible and liable for the Customer Materials and the quality thereof, whether or not in the possession of Vetter
Pharma; provided, however, damage to or loss of the Customer Materials under Section 11(7) due to (i) slight or normal negligence in performance of
the Standard by Vetter Pharma shall be at the cost and/or expense of Vetter as respectively set forth in and subject to Section 14(2); and (ii) gross

including, without limitation, all chemical, pharmaceutical and/or biopharmaceutical compositions thereof and, to the extent reasonably known, any
impact and interaction thereof on all other materials to be used in the Manufacture of the Product. If the provision of any such information has the
effect, including any result of having to take additional security or safety precautions, of increasing the costs in performing obligations under the
Quality Agreement or hereunder, Vetter shall inform Customer thereof; provided, however, that any increase in cost shall not be effective unless and
until mutually agreed with Customer or, if not agreed, Section 18(4) shall apply. Customer shall specifically inform Vetter if the Customer Materials
require any special handling or processing. Customer shall meet all notice and information requirements set forth herein and/or in the Quality
Agreement, it being understood and agreed that neither Vetter nor any of its Representatives shall have any responsibility or liability (including if

(4)  Inadequate Deliveries. Any delay in the Manufacture of the Product, for the Commercial Work, arising from inadequate delivery of the Customer
Materials (whether such delay is based on inadequacy of quality, quantity or otherwise) shall postpone any Delivery Date requested by Customer and
previously confirmed by Vetter until such other date that Vetter may reasonably determine in its sole discretion, after good faith consultation of
Customer, taking into account such factors as Facility capacity, other production commitments and similar business factors, and, subject to Section
4(3) of Annex 4, Section 8(2) shall respectively apply to any postponement of production or Delivery Date. Any inadequate delivery of Customer
Materials for the Commercial Work, inadequate only in terms of quantity or API Delivery Date and not in respect of quality, missing documents, or
otherwise, that results in Vetter being unable to run a scheduled batch in a reserved slot without violation of GMP, shall be considered a cancellation
of the Commercial Work under the respective Purchase Order, and subject to Section 4(4) of Annex 4, Vetter shall be compensated as set forth in
Section 8(2); provided, however, for purposes of clarity, any such inadequate delivery with respect to quantity or API Delivery Date of Customer
Materials that nevertheless permits running a batch in compliance with GMP, and for any indadequacy in API Delivery Date also in Vetter’s discretion
exercised in good faith with respect to its or Vetter Pharma’s SOPs, shall not be considered a cancellation of the entire slot, but, rather, if such an
inadequate delivery results in less than the originally reserved capacity of Vetter Pharma being used, Customer shall be responsible for payment to
Vetter of compensation in the amount of a partial cancellation, based pro rata on the capacity not utilized.
 
 
(5)   Testing. For the Commercial Work, all Sourced Materials and all Customer Materials shall be tested in accordance with the Quality Agreement.

separately invoiced in accordance with Vetter’s standard schedule shall be due.
 
ARTICLE 12: API YIELD FOR THE COMMERCIAL WORK
 
 
(1)  Target Yield. The Parties shall evaluate and mutually determine an acceptable target yield for the use of the API during the Commercial Work (and
commercial batches shall consist of not less than [***] and not more than [***] Products per batch, taking into account, among other things, fixed and
flexible losses, including samples, pre-flush (forerun) volume, overfill and second in-line filter; provided, however, [***] percent ([***]%) shall be
deducted therefrom, to be expressed in percent, the “Target Yield”). After the Manufacture of [***] batches of the Product (for each batch size, and
each clean room, separately), without any Manufacturing process changes, the Target Yield shall be as then in good faith agreed by the Parties. Until
the Target Yield is established, all losses of API, and any costs and expenses incurred in respect thereof, shall be borne by Customer, including, for
clarity, for any and all of the Development Work. The Target Yield, and any determination thereof, shall not be applicable to, or take account of, any
batches of the Product under the Commercial Work consisting of less than [***] or of more than [***] Products. The Target Yield shall not apply if
the Manufacture of the Product under the Commercial Work has been halted or interrupted for extended time period(s) or if, in any calendar year, less
than [***] commercial batches of Products shall be or have been Manufactured. For clarity, the Target Yield shall only apply to, and only be deemed
valid for, batch sizes between [***] and [***] Products per batch, and for any other batch sizes outside of such foregoing range, the Target Yield shall
have to be mutually agreed upon and re-established for other batch sizes.
 
 
(2)  Annual Review. For the Commercial Work, the Target Yield shall be reviewed, and an update thereof may be agreed by Parties from time to time
through good faith negotiations, taking into account the previous performance, process enhancements, improvements and changes, GMP, SOPs and all
other relevant circumstances, it being understood and agreed by the Parties that such previous performance shall not be determinative and shall not set
any precedence for such review, good faith negotiations, and agreement. The Parties shall, after the end of each calendar year during the Commercial
Work, mutually determine and agree on the total actual losses of API in that calendar year and on the actual yield of the API used for the Manufacture
of the Product in said calendar year, “Actual Yield”).

(3)  Reimbursement. For the Commercial Work, to the extent that the Actual Yield is equal to, or greater than, the Target Yield, all losses of API, and all
costs and expenses incurred in respect thereof, shall be borne by Customer. If the Actual Yield should be less than the Target Yield, Vetter shall
reimburse Customer for [***].
 
ARTICLE 13: INCOMING INSPECTION DURING COMMERCIAL WORK
 
 
(1)  Inspection. For the Commercial Work, Customer shall inspect the Product and review the batch documentation without delay, but in no event later
than [***] following delivery hereunder of either thereof. If the Product should not pass such inspection and/or the batch documentation should not

rejected batch to the Facility or dispose of the Product at the cost of Vetter if the Product has not been Manufactured in accordance with the Standard.
 
 
(2)  Acceptance. For the Commercial Work, any Product and/or batch documentation not rejected as in the preceding Section described shall be deemed
accepted and approved by Customer to the extent that either thereof may contain any non-latent defect. Any Product and/or batch documentation
containing any latent defect shall be deemed accepted and approved, unless rejected by written notice to Vetter within a period of [***] after delivery
thereof; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be construed as to limit the duration of any statutes of limitations applicable to any rights of
Customer which may arise out of any latent defects fraudulently concealed or caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct of Vetter and/or any
of its Affiliates. Customer shall notify Vetter in writing promptly after the discovery of any latent defect.
 
 
(3) Standard. Except for those Deviations (as such term is defined in the Quality Agreement) of which Customer shall be notified in writing and which
shall be addressed as set forth in the Quality Agreement, all Product made available to Customer for delivery in accordance with Section 16(1) shall
have been Manufactured in accordance with the Standard; provided, however, Vetter and/or any of its Representatives shall be conclusively deemed
not negligent if it can be conclusively shown, by way of the batch documentation, other documents or samples of the Product, that the Product has
been Manufactured in accordance with the Standard.
 
ARTICLE 14: DEFECTS AND LOSSES DURING COMMERCIAL WORK
 
(1)   Defects. (a) General. If Product has been rejected, for the Commercial Work, subject to the provisions of Article 13, Vetter shall supply Customer with

except (i) in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence by Vetter and/or any of its Representatives, in which exception event Vetter shall
compensate Customer for such API loss by [***]; or (ii) if Vetter and/or any of its Representatives shall have been deemed performing in slight or
normal negligence and such occurrence could not have been covered by the all-risk property insurance of Customer as referred to in Section 11(2), in
which exception event the only responsibility or liability of Vetter for itself and/or any of its Representatives shall be for Vetter to compensate
Customer for any such loss by [***].

(2)  Audits. Any costs and/or expenses associated with any audits performed by any regulatory authority with respect to the Facility, the Development
Work, the Commercial Work and/or the Product, shall be borne by Customer, except costs incurred from audits by the German health authorities, FDA
and/or EMA not directly related to the Product which shall be borne by Vetter and for costs incurred for audits resulting from Vetter’s failure to
comply with the Standard in Manufacturing the Product.
 
 
(3)  Technical Records. For the Development Work and/or the Commercial Work, Vetter and/or any of its Representatives shall maintain complete, true
and accurate records with respect to the Manufacture of the Product (herein, “Technical Records”) in accordance with Territory Laws and as is
reasonably necessary to support Customer’s regulatory filings with respect to Product. Vetter shall store all Technical Records for the shorter time of
(i) a period of at least [***] from the relevant Product Manufacturing date; and (ii) the period required under Territory Laws, after which Vetter may
dispose of the Technical Records, after providing Customer with notice as set forth in this Section, or return the Technical Records (excluding SOPs
and any Confidential Information of Vetter) to Customer in accordance with Customer’s express written instructions therefore. In the absence of such
advance instructions, prior to any destruction of Technical Records,Vetter shall notify Customer in writing of Vetter’s intent to dispose of the
Technical Records and request Customer’s instructions as to their disposal. If Customer does not respond to such notice within sixty (60) days after
receipt thereof, or in any event prior to the later destruction of such records, Vetter may destroy such records at Customer’s discretion and expense.

also mutually agree on any necessary or desired amendments to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any resulting price adjustments, and
any related compensation or reimbursements, as the case may be, for any additional or reduced costs, efforts and/or expenses. In the event of a
controversy, claim or dispute regarding a change, Customer and Vetter shall discuss in good faith how to proceed; provided, however, Customer shall
not be obligated to pay for continued Development Work (subject to Section 8(2) above) and/or the Commercial Work (subject to Section 15(2)
above), which may respectively be immediately suspended at Customer’s request, until any resulting price adjustments are mutually agreed; provided,
further, however, Vetter shall not be required to cause Vetter Pharma to continue the Development Work and/or the Commercial Work, which may be
immediately ceased, by Vetter or its Representatives based on Vetter’s decision without being deemed in breach of this Agreement if Vetter as the
deciding Party believes that such incorporation or non-incorporation of such change constitutes a violation of any Territory Laws. If Vetter and Vetter
Pharma believe such incorporation or non-incorporation of a change does not constitute a possible violation as in the preceding sentence set forth (in
which event the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall prevail), but creates an increased risk that Vetter and/or any of its
Representatives is or could be held responsible or liable for any third party claim with respect to the Product, then Vetter shall cause Vetter Pharma to
continue the Development Work and/or the Commercial Work without the incorporation or the non-incorporation of such change, in which event
Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold Vetter and/or any of its Representatives harmless from and against any and all Costs resulting from or
arising out of such increased risk, except for such Costs arising from Vetter or Vetter Pharma’s negligence or willful misconduct in either of which
exception events Articles 20 and 21 shall apply.

(3)     Representatives. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, it is expressly agreed by and between the Parties that no
Representative of Vetter shall assume, to the extent permissible under the laws of Germany, any responsibility or liability, but Vetter shall be
responsible and liable for the performance of any of its Representatives to the same extent as if Vetter had performed or failed to perform, all as
contemplated or required hereunder, and any claim made under this Agreement (for clarity, specifically including the QA) shall exclusively, to the
extent permissible under the laws of Germany, be made against Vetter.
 
(4)     Exceptions. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall act to exclude or limit either Party’s liability for (i) fraud; (ii) gross negligence and/or willful
misconduct; and/or (iii) breach by it and/or its Representatives of confidentiality obligations to the other Party and/or its Representatives.
 
ARTICLE 22: TERM AND TERMINATION, SURVIVAL
 
 
(1)  Term. This Agreement shall be in full force and effect as of the Effective Date. This Agreement, as may be amended or modified by and between the
Parties in writing, shall continue to be in full force and effect until the Completion Date; provided, however, (i) any rights or obligations accrued prior
to the Completion Date shall not prejudice or preclude any remedies either Party may have under this Agreement; (ii) this Agreement shall be in full
force and effect, with respect to the Commercial Work, for an initial term of five (5) years. Upon the expiration of such initial term and any
subsequent term, this Agreement shall automatically be renewed for subsequent terms of two (2) years each (any term collectively, the “Term”) unless
either Party shall notify the other Party twelve (12) months prior to the end of any term in writing of its intention to not renew this Agreement. For
clarity, any rights or obligations accrued prior to the expiration of the Term or termination of this Agreement (respectively, the “Completion Date”)
shall not prejudice or preclude any remedies either Party may have under this Agreement.
 
 
(2)  Termination for Breach. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement (with immediate effect or, if applicable, after the expiration of an
applicable time period) upon prior written notice if the other Party is in major default in the fulfillment of any material obligation under this
Agreement. The term “major default” shall include, but not be limited to (i) insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, or appointment of a receiver of any
significant part of the property, of a Party and/or Vetter Pharma; (ii) in the case of any other default which can be cured, the failure to cure the default
during a period of [***] after the giving of written notice specifying such default (unless it is evident that such default cannot be cured within ninety
(90) calendar days), in which case the default shall upon notice be considered to be major; (iii) in respect of Customer, the failure to provide for or
maintain product liability insurance as required under this Agreement, or pay any insurance premiums when due; and (iv) failure to establish mutual
agreement with respect to a change required to satisfy Territory Laws in accordance with Section 18(4) within [***].

—CONFIDENTIAL—
 
 
 
(3)  Special Termination. Customer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with immediate effect upon receipt by Vetter of prior written notice if
Customer determines in its sole reasonable discretion, upon completion of the Development Work only, that the Product cannot be commercialized,
and/or if the commercialization of the Product must be suspended or terminated for medical, scientific, regulatory or technical reasons, subject to
Section 8(2) or Section 15(2), and Section 22(4).
 
 
(4) Winding Down. Upon the Completion Date, Customer, in its sole discretion, shall either (i) pay any cancellation compensation for Product (for which
Purchase Orders were issued) that Customer no longer wishes to purchase, unless termination was by Customer due to Vetter’s uncured breach, in
which case no such cancellation compensation shall be due; or (ii) shall purchase and Vetter shall sell to Customer, at the prices herein provided, any
Product for which Purchase Orders have been or are required to be placed in accordance with the Development Schedule or any Commercial Forecast
or Rolling Forecast given on or prior to the Completion Date and, at Vetter’s prices thereof, all Sourced Materials and other materials ordered as
contemplated in or permitted under this Agreement. Customer shall be responsible and liable to Vetter for any amounts accruing prior to the
Completion Date including, but not limited to, amounts due under Section 8(2) for cancellation of the Development Work, and amounts due for
Purchase Orders under Section 15(2) for Commercial Work; provided, however, it is agreed and understood by Vetter that any and all expenditures
scheduled but not actually made due to such immediate termination shall be deducted from any of the foregoing amounts. Upon the Completion Date,
Vetter shall arrange for delivery to Customer or destruction of any Customer Materials at the Facility, at the cost and/or expense of Customer. Upon
the Completion Date, Vetter shall make available, as is and where is, to Customer the Equipment, if paid for by Customer. Vetter shall have returned to
Customer all documentation (including copies thereof) constituting Information of Customer; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing,
Vetter or any of its Affiliates may retain such limited quantity of the Product, the Customer Materials (all thereof sufficient for two (2) analyses) and
such documentation as may be necessary for proper record keeping in satisfaction of Territory Laws. Upon the Completion Date, Customer shall
return to Vetter any and all documentation (including copies thereof) provided to Customer and constituting Information of Vetter and/or any of its
Affiliates; provided, however, Customer may retain such limited number thereof as may be necessary for proper record keeping in satisfaction of
Territory Laws.
 
 
(5)  Survival. Articles 19 (Intellectual Property), 20 (Liability, Indemnification and Insurance), 21 (Limitations) as well as Sections 22(4) (Consequences),
23(2) (Confidentiality) as therein set forth, 23(3) (United Nations), 23(10) (Interpretation), 23(13) (Dispute) and this Section 22(5) shall survive the
Completion Date.
 
 

 
 
—CONFIDENTIAL—
 
 
ARTICLE 23: MISCELLANEOUS
 
 
(1)  Force Majeure. No Party shall be responsible or liable to the other Party and/or any of its Representatives, and no default shall be deemed to have
occurred, for failure or delay in performing any obligations or for other non-performance if such failure, delay or other non-performance is caused by
or arises from any strike, stoppage of labor, lockout or any other labor trouble, shortage of energy or raw material or any inability to obtain any
materials or shipping space, breakdown or delays of carriers or shippers, default or delay by any supplier or sub-contractor or other events due to
internalization of operations and services typically and customarily provided by a third party, fire, flood, lightning, fog, storm, unusual weather
conditions, explosion, accident, earthquake, volcanic ash, epidemics, act of God, any public enemy, sabotage, invasion, war (declared or undeclared),
riot, embargo, governmental or administrative act or restraint, prohibition on import or export of the Product or materials incorporated therein or parts
thereof, or any matter or cause that is unavoidable by or beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party (each, an event of “Force Majeure”). A
Party shall be under no obligation to settle a strike, labor stoppage, lockout, or any other labor trouble by entering into any agreement to settle any
thereof and until any such matter is settled to the satisfaction of the affected Party, such matter shall continue to be deemed Force Majeure. Any and
all of the foregoing shall also apply to a Party to the extent that an Affiliate of such Party is performing or providing any service (including under
Section 23(8) referred to) or work in connection with the obligations of a Party. A Party claiming Force Majeure shall promptly notify the other Party
specifying the cause and probable duration of the failure, delay or other non-performance. Neither Vetter nor any of its Representatives shall be under
any obligation to fulfill any Purchase Order which has been, or should have been scheduled to be performed during a time period of Force Majeure;
provided, however, a Party so affected shall undertake every commercially reasonable effort to fulfill its contractual obligations to the extent
reasonably possible under the circumstances. If Vetter experiences a Force Majeure event that interferes with Manufacturing of the Product at the
Facility, Vetter shall, at Customer’s discretion and request, cooperate in good faith with Customer in expeditiously transferring Manufacturing to
another of Vetter Pharma’s facilities, if available. The Parties shall mutually discuss and implement in good faith an agreed-upon action plan for such
transfer. If it is evident that the Force Majeure event will last longer than [***] and Vetter is not able to accommodate such a transfer in a timely
fashion, Customer shall have the right to cancel any and all affected Purchase Orders without penalty.
 
 
(2)  Confidentiality. The provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall govern this Agreement in every respect (and the term Purpose as therein
defined shall be deemed to include the matters set forth or contemplated in this Agreement), except that the confidentiality obligations in the
Confidentiality Agreement contained shall survive the Completion Date and shall remain in full force and effect for a period of ten (10) years from the
Completion Date. Each Party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other Party and/or any of its Representatives harmless from and against any
and all Costs resulting from or arising out of breach by it and/or any of its Representatives or its Affiliates or its Affiliates’ Representatives of the
provisions of this Section or the Confidentiality Agreement. In addition to other permitted disclosures set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement,
Customer shall be permitted to disclose Vetter’s Confidential Information in submissions to Regulatory Authorities in connection with the Product and
its Manufacture. The terms of this Agreement shall be considered as each Party’s Confidential Information; provided, however, that each Party shall
be permitted to disclose (i) the Quality Agreement and submit the Quality Agreement to any Regulatory Authority or other regulatory or
governmental agency, including the FDA; (ii) this Agreement (redacted by Customer as it determines, in its sole discretion, to be permitted and
appropriate based on the advise of its counsel, and after having provided Vetter a copy of such redactions and opportunity to comment thereon, which
comments shall be considered by Customer in good faith) to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the US Federal Trade Commission and/or
the US Department of Justice as may be required by the Territory Laws or other applicable law or regulation.

 (3)  United Nations. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall have no application to, and shall be of no force
and effect with respect to, the matters set forth or contemplated in this Agreement.
 
 
(4)  Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement with respect to the matters set forth or contemplated in this Agreement and
supersedes in any and all respects any prior communication, proposal, quotation, negotiation, conversation, discussion and agreement concerning the
matters set forth or contemplated in this Agreement, and any terms and conditions thereof shall be null and void.
 
 
(5)  Conflict. In the event of any conflict between any provision of the Quality Agreement and the other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of
this Agreement shall exclusively govern and control, except for any quality related matters of the Manufacture of Product used for development,
which shall be governed by the DQA and, for clarity, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the CQA and the other provisions of this
Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control, except for any quality related matters of the Manufacture of Products intended by
Customer for commercial use, which shall be governed by the CQA; provided, however, that, with respect to all of the above, the terms of this
Agreemet shall control in all matters concerning defective Product. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein above, nothing in the Quality
Agreement shall act or be deemed to amend the terms of this Agreement.
 
 
(6)  Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held void, invalid or unenforceable shall be replaced by a mutually agreed provision that is effective,
valid and enforceable and in compliance with the lawful purposes and intentions as contained in or determinable under this Agreement. Any matter
not initially considered shall be resolved by incorporating such reasonable provision in order to complete this Agreement which approaches to the
maximum extent such lawful purposes and intentions. The effectiveness, validity and enforceability of this Agreement shall remain independent of
any provision which might be or has become void, invalid or unenforceable except if any replacement thereof is not possible and this Agreement
would then not have been entered into.
 
 

 
 
—CONFIDENTIAL—
 
 
 
(7)  Amendments. Any amendment or modification of the provisions in this Agreement contained, specifically including this Section, shall take effect
only by a written document signed and duly executed. The Appendices may be amended from time to time separately and independently of the
Quality Agreement.
 
 
(8)  Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation of each Party shall be assignable or transferable, except as herein provided, without
the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, Vetter may cause internal logistic and warehousing operations to be performed by an
independent subcontractor (currently Grieshaber Logistik GmbH, 88250 Weingarten, Germany (“Grieshaber”)) and Vetter shall be and remain
responsible and liable for any performance of or failure to perform by such contractor; and (ii) Customer may assign this Agreement to a successor-in-
interest by virtue of merger or acquisition or sale of its relevant business assets; provided, however, Vetter’s prior written consent shall be required if
(i) the assignee of this Agreement or acquirer of Customer (herein collectively, “Assignee”) disagrees with assuming the performance of Customer’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement as herein set forth; (ii) Customer does not provide prompt written notice to Vetter following any such
assignment; (iii) any Assignee should be a third party that earns more than five percent (5%) of its revenues in the full fiscal year prior to the
assignment from the sale of biosimilars or performance of contract manufacturing for the filling of sterile vials; (iv) any Assignee should not have the
technical capabilities, expertise and the financial capacity (in each case at least commensurate with that of Customer) to perform the obligations to be
assumed by such Assignee under this Agreement and/or the Quality Agreement); it being agreed and understood that Customer shall not be released
of its obligations of confidentiality under Section 23(2) and, for clarity, such Assignee shall assume such confidentiality obligations thereunder in
addition to Customer, and that Customer shall be responsible for paying the Transition Compensation within [***] of receipt of an undisputed invoice
therefore (for clarity, Customer shall not be responsible for payment of amounts an Assignee would owe as a result of changes requested by such
Assignee to the development schedule or other changes to this Agreement or the Quality Agreement).

other Party and/or any of its Affiliates, except as may be expressly authorized in writing which authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld.

achieved within said further time period, such controversy, claim or dispute shall be brought by written notice to the highest management
representatives who shall use reasonable endeavors to amicably settle and in good faith resolve such controversy, claim or dispute within further [***]

(b) Arbitral Resolution. With respect to any controversy, claim or dispute arising under this Agreement not settled amicably by and between the
Parties, either Party may, at its sole discretion, refer such controversy, claim or dispute to arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the International
Chamber of Commerce (“AICC Rules” which shall, in addition to the substantial/material laws of Switzerland, be the sole and exclusive rules and
procedures for the resolution of any such controversy, claim or dispute, and any and all applicable statutes of limitation shall be tolled while the

legal duty, protect or pursue a legal right, or enforce an award before a Swiss state/ordinary court or other judicial Swiss authority. Notwithstanding
anything in the foregoing to the contrary, before making such information public, the interested Party shall notify the other Party, in writing, and shall
afford the other Party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests if the other Party deems it necessary. All monetary awards shall be stated and

seeking interim or other provisional relief from a Swiss court of competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction
or other interim equitable relief, concerning a controversy, claim or dispute, either prior to or during any arbitration if, in its sole judgment, necessary
to protect the interests of such Party or to preserve the status quo pending the arbitration proceeding, in aid of arbitration, and despite such action, each
of the Parties shall continue to participate in good faith in the procedures specified herein.

ANNEX 4: COMMERCIAL PRODUCT SUPPLY CHAIN TERMS
 
This Annex provides herein below the commercial Product supply chain terms that are applicable to the supply of no more than [***] batches of Product
per [***] (“Low Volume Manufacturing Phase”) as defined in Section 3 of this Annex 4 below, as well as to the supply of more than [***] batches per
[***] (“Standard Manufacturing Phase”, the further details of which shall mutually be inserted by the Parties below, by means of an amendment hereof), all
negotiated in good faith and mutually agreed in this Annex 4 prior to commencement of each such phase, it being specifically agreed and understood by
Customer that at such point in time referred to in the final sentence of Section 3 of this Annex 4 with no such amendment in place, no Production can occur,
and that the negotiation and planning of the Standard Manufacturing Phase will most likely require a period of at least [***], as respectively mentioned
below with respect to the Launch Batch.
 
1.         PURPOSE
With this Annex 4, Customer and Vetter intend to cover the commercial production, by implementing
the following terms.
Customer expects a low Manufacturing volume during the first years after launch of commercial
sales of Product (the forecasting of the Launch Batch being the “Launch”). To simplify the process at
Vetter and at Customer, the following terms were split into two parts:
-         Low Volume Manufacturing phase (Section 3, detailed below)
-         Standard Manufacturing Phase (Section 4, detailed below)

2.         LONG RANGE FORECAST
The Long Range Forecast shall be provided by Customer to Vetter [***] prior to the first delivery of
a batch manufactured as part of the Commercial Work (“Launch Batch”). This is considered as the
first “Commercial Forecast”.
Customer shall provide a good faith estimate of the total annual volumes anticipated for a ten (10)
years’ rolling period (the “Long Range Forecast”), or such shorter period remaining for the Term of
this Agreement, of:
Vials visually inspected by Vetter Pharma ([***])
After first provided by Customer, the Long Range Forecast shall be sent to Vetter once a year, by
August 7th of each year. The Long Range Forecast is non-binding and only for planning purposes,
except for the determination of the end of the Low Volume Manufacturing Phase as set forth in
Section 3 hereof below.
Significant forecast changes shall be indicated to Vetter reasonably promptly after they are known to
Customer, and need to mutually be discussed.
3.         LOW VOLUME
MANUFACTURING PHASE
The Low Volume Manufacturing Phase is defined as the time during which Customer may order, and
Vetter shall have Manufactured a maximum of [***] batches per [***], and a maximum of such
amount of batches per calendar quarter as separately agreed with Vetter Pharma. The Low Volume
Manufacturing Phase ends at the point in time within a Long Range Forecast when, for the first time,
more than [***] have been forecasted by Customer (i.e., the date when the [***] batch is forecasted
to be Manufactured), in the Long Range Forecast, of the next calendar year provided on August 7th of
each year

—CONFIDENTIAL—
 
 
4.         PURCHASE ORDERS
(1) Purchase Orders:
For the Launch Batch (first batch), the Purchase Order shall be issued at least [***] before the
expected Delivery Date.
All other Purchase Orders shall be provided by the latest on the [***] during the Term, on a recurring
monthly basis, for the then-following [***] (the “Rolling Forecast”), but at least [***] before the
expected Delivery Date, except as may otherwise may be accepted at the discretion of Vetter. In the
event that a Purchase Order should be less than the previously forecasted requirements for the
Product set forth in the Rolling Forecast, Customer shall pay to Vetter the price therefore as set forth
under this Agreement except if (i) otherwise agreed with Vetter; or (ii) Vetter is able to book alternate
product into any modified or cancelled slot without financial loss to Vetter, all as in this Annex 4 set
forth and subject thereto.
(2) Volumes:
Order quantity according to Purchase Order, at least:
Commercial batch: [***]/batch to [***]/batch
(3) Rescheduling of Batches:
Flexibility for rescheduling batches without charge:
For the first year after the Launch, a one-time flexibility, or more often as may be permitted at the
discretion of Vetter, to postpone for a maximum of [***], for the second year after the Launch, for a
maximum of [***] and, for commercial Manufacture, in the third and in each of the then-following
years during the Low Volume Manufacturing phase, for a maximum of [***], as long as shifted
within the first [***] after Purchase Order issued by Customer is accepted by Vetter (See Attachment
1 hereof).
For sake of clarity: Might be pushed one time, by a maximum of [***] (for the first year after the
Launch).
All changes to any Delivery Date, after the initial Purchase Order has been issued, are subject to
confirmation by Vetter and availability in the production schedule of Vetter Pharma.
(4) Cancelling of Batches:
Compensation for cancelled batches:
In case of cancellation of a Purchase Order for a batch for which a Purchase Order has been issued
and accepted, in the first two (2) years after the Launch, the following compensation due for payment
by Customer to Vetter shall apply:
●         Compensation = [***] percent ([***]%) of the then-valid purchase price of the cancelled yet
previously ordered batch; provided, however, that:
(i) if a batch was previously postponed from initial Purchase Order date with less than [***] notice,
or is currently being Manufactured; or (ii) the Manufacture is planned to occur in the then-next [***],
then, in either of the foregoing cases, compensation for payment to Vetter by Customer, in the amount
of one hundred percent (100%) of the then-valid batch purchase price of the cancelled ordered batch,
shall apply and be due.
Notwithstanding the above, to any extent that Vetter is able to use, for another third party customer, a
slot (or part thereof) originally dedicated to Manufacture for Customer that is then released by
Customer due to decreasing its forecasted demand, Vetter shall not require, to that pro-rated extent,
Customer to pay for any such released capacity (or part thereof) and shall refund to Customer any
advanced payments made by Customer for such slot.
In case of cancellation of a Purchase Order for a batch for which a Purchase Order has been issued
and accepted for the commercial Manufacture in the third and subsequent years during the Low
Volume Manufacturing Phase, the following compensation due for payment by Customer to Vetter
shall apply:
●         Compensation ([***] prior to the scheduled Manufacture date) = [***] percent ([***]%) of
the then-valid purchase price of the cancelled ordered batch
●         Compensation ([***] prior to scheduled Manufacture date) = [***] percent ([***]%) of the
then-valid purchase price of the cancelled ordered batch
●         Compensation ([***] prior to scheduled Manufacture date) = [***] for the cancelled ordered
batch; provided, however, if a batch was already postponed from the initial Purchase Order date, with
less than [***] prior notice, or is currently being Manufactured, or the Manufacturing is planned in
the then-next [***], compensation by [***] percent ([***]%) of the then-valid purchase price of the
cancelled ordered batch shall apply.
Notwithstanding the above, to any extent that Vetter is able to use for its own purposes or for a third
party a slot (or part thereof) originally dedicated to Manufacture for Customer that is then-released by
Customer due to decreasing its forecasted demand, Vetter shall not require Customer to pay for any
such released capacity (or part thereof).
For sake of clarity:
In case of a one-time postponement of the Purchase Orders (for Vetter, like a full (100%) reduction in
this month) during the third and subsequent years, further reductions or postponements of these still
postponed volumes/Purchase Orders during the same twelve (12)-months’ period, are not possible
(Customer’s obligation shall then be a full (100%) commitment for number of batches, at the then-
valid batch purchase price).

5.1.         FREEDOM OF FILLING DAY
Customer orders and forecasts shall be based on the requested delivery month or requested Delivery
Date.
Vetter confirms and invoices against the actual Delivery Date.
There is no obligation of Vetter to provide an exact filling day with the forecast or any order
tracking tool. Vetter has the flexibility in filling days. Vetter shall always try to prioritize orders with
critical shelf life. On the basis of the Rolling Forecast provided by Customer, Vetter shall calculate
an ideal filling date. The ideal filling date can be advanced or delayed (to build manufacturing
campaigns), by a maximum of [***] without agreement by Customer, subject to Customer
Materials’ availability at Vetter Pharma.
In case of a mutually agreed significant increase of demand in the Long Range Forecast, Vetter and
Customer agree that campaign building is possible in general. Additional equipment shall be
sourced and invoiced separately to Customer. Vetter shall have the freedom on campaign building.
5.2.         PIECES PER BATCH
The commercial batch size is defined as between [***] and [***] units. Vetter holds the right to
periodically adjust prices within the parameters set forth in this Agreement. As there is no historical
experience available for the Product, there shall be a good faith discussion once a year with the
discussion of the annual Rolling Forecast in August, of unit pricing, storage pricing, etc., with the
maximum for any agreed pricing changes to be consistent with the terms of the Agreement.
5.3.         PURCHASE ORDER
CONFIRMATION/ GOOD
DELIVERY
Vetter shall send the Purchase Order confirmation in the first week of the month following the
month of Purchase Order receipt, due to the internal planning cycle which takes place in week No. 2
and No. 3 of each month, with a plausibility check in week No. 4.
Vetter and Customer shall create a set of manufacturing KPIs, tracking the ordering process for
quantity and delivery time fulfillment during the launch period. Those KPIs shall mutually be
tracked and presented during an annual business review meeting. If irregularities or challenges
should be identified, actions shall be mutually defined during the business review meetings.

5.4.         ARRIVAL OF API/ EXCIPIENTS/
MATERIAL/ DOCUMENTS
Vetter shall call-off (i.e., request) the API for confirmed Purchase Orders from Customer, [***]
before the requirement of being present at the Facility, but at the earliest when the Purchase Order is
provided by Customer.
Customer shall send a confirmation for the delivery of the API (“API Delivery Date”) within [***]
following Vetter’s acceptance of a Purchase Order, upon which Vetter can rely on.
The API shall be released for Manufacturing at Vetter Pharma, at a minimum of [***] prior to the
fill date. As of the Effective Date, the API shall be delivered by Customer, and side samples shall be
provided. The API should be delivered as required on the order from Vetter or Vetter Pharma, as
mentioned above, but at a minimum of [***] prior to the planned filling date unless otherwise
agreed by Vetter Pharma.
Receipt of materials may be rejected by Vetter Pharma if not delivered in accordance with this
Agreement (including, for clarity, the Quality Agreement, or as otherwise reasonably agreed
without violation of cGMP). If this results in the loss of a filling slot that is not utilized for another
third party customer of Vetter, it shall be considered as a cancellation and treated with possible
compensation.
5.5.         MATERIALS SOURCING
The target is to implement a second source for critical secondary packaging materials (excluding
device materials and container closure components) to increase supply security. If no second source
is implemented, a higher safety stock level must be agreed to assure a reliable delivery. Vetter and
Customer shall work together in good faith to resolve any sourcing issues for device materials and
container closure components.
5.6.         MATERIAL INVENTORY LIST
Sourced Materials shall be ordered in volumes based on the provided Purchase Orders and Rolling
Forecasts, as well as the specified safety stocks, such volumes to include the required minimum
quantities which have to be purchased depending on the supplier.
If demand is dropping significantly or a change of the Agreed Process Specifications is performed,
Customer shall pay compensation to Vetter for the cost of destroying obsolete materials.
5.7.         SAFETY STOCK
In addition to the regular stock, in volumes related to Purchase Orders, Vetter shall cause Vetter
Pharma to source and keep [***] of the Sourced Materials required for Manufacture of the annual
Rolling Forecast volume, as safety stock but, at minimum, the amount covering [***].
Additional safety stock can be mutually agreed upon and shall separately be quoted and invoiced to
Customer.

5.8.          PICK-UP OF FINISHED GOODS
After Vetter Pharma’s release of the Product, Customer shall (or its forwarder may) contact
Transporeon directly in order to get access to the system, to reserve a pick-up slot at Vetter Pharma.
The delivery is [***], with a standard on-time pick-up on the Delivery Date.
Vetter grants Customer four (4) weeks of free storage after the confirmed Delivery Date or Vetter
Pharma’s batch release (latest date counts). A pick-up of such stored Products after this period shall
be invoiced by Vetter, with compensation for such storage then-due for payment by Customer, of
[***] Euros ([***]€) per pallet per [***].
5.9.          INVOICING/ PAYMENT TERMS
Invoices shall be sent by Vetter to Customer after the completion of the activities (which, for batch
Manufacture, shall occur when the Product has been released by Vetter Pharma, for pick-up at the
Facility by Customer) with [***] net payment term, subject to and as further defined in this
Agreement above.
5.10.         LOGISTIC SERVICES
The following additional logistic services can be offered from Vetter:
-         [***]
-         Specific sample shipping services.
Those services shall be quoted and agreed upon separately.
For the sake of clarity, in the case that API shall be received by Vetter Pharma arriving from
outside of the EU, by a third party CDS manufacturer or by Customer, and such API import shall,
upon request from Customer, be handled by Vetter Pharma, then Customer shall inform Vetter in
advance [***] and the following issues shall be clarified.
► Impact issues Section 72a German Medicines Law (AMG) declaration
► Tax/Customs impact
► API value
Reimbursement of tax advance impact: [***] percent ([***]%) annual interest on VAT financing.

goods.
For tri-angular arrangements, the customs’ invoice shall be provided at least two (2) days in
advance.
If Vetter Pharma should import the API, the actual value of the API must be stated on the import
documents, by German law. Vetter cannot provide any assistance without such information.
5.12.         KPIs
To jointly work on improvements of the processes, Vetter can offer certain key performance
indicators (“KPIs”). Those KPIs shall be mutually agreed on to be presented and discussed with
Customer within an annual business review meeting.
5.13.         JAPAN QUALITY
The supply of Japanese Quality is currently not within the scope of the project and not targeted to
be implement at Vetter Pharma, for this Product; provided, however, Vetter is open to offer an
evaluation of this service if requested by Customer. During the implementation of a Japanese

the planned revision cycle.
6.         
REVISION
Sections 1 through 6 of this Annex 4 shall be mutually discussed and may, based on mutual written

INTRODUCTION
 
Omeros Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) opposes the unauthorized disclosure of any nonpublic information acquired in the
course of your service with the Company and the misuse of material nonpublic information in securities trading. Any such actions will be deemed
violations of this Insider Trading Policy (the “Policy”).
 
Legal prohibitions on insider trading
 
The antifraud provisions of U.S. federal securities laws prohibit directors (Board members), officers, employees and other individuals who possess
material nonpublic information from trading on the basis of that information. Transactions will be considered “on the basis of” material nonpublic
information if the person engaged in the transaction was aware of the material nonpublic information at the time of the transaction. It is not a defense that
the person would have entered into the transaction even if he or she did not know the information.
 
Disclosing material nonpublic information directly or indirectly to others who then trade on that information or who make recommendations or express
opinions as to transactions in securities while aware of material nonpublic information (which is sometimes referred to as “tipping”) is also illegal. Both the
person who provides the information, recommendation or opinion and the person who trades based on it may be liable.
 
These illegal activities are commonly referred to as “insider trading.” State securities laws and securities laws of other jurisdictions also impose
restrictions on insider trading.
 
In addition, a company, as well as individual Board members, officers and other supervisory personnel, may be subject to liability as “controlling
persons” for failure to take appropriate steps to prevent insider trading by those under their supervision, influence or control.
 
Detection and prosecution of insider trading
 
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and The Nasdaq Stock Market use
sophisticated electronic surveillance techniques to investigate and detect insider trading, and the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice pursue insider
trading violations vigorously. Cases involving trading through foreign accounts, trading by family members and friends and trading involving only a small
number of shares have been successfully prosecuted.
 
Penalties for violation of insider trading laws and this Policy
 
Civil and criminal penalties. As of the effective date of this Policy, potential penalties for insider trading violations under U.S. federal securities laws
include:
 
 
●
damages in a private lawsuit;
 
 
●
disgorging any profits made or losses avoided;
 
 
●
imprisonment for up to 20 years;
 
 
●
criminal fines of up to $5 million for individuals and $25 million for entities;
 
 
●
civil fines of up to three times the profit gained or loss avoided;
 
 
●
a bar against serving as an officer or director of a public company; and
 
 
●
an injunction against future violations.
 
 

 
 
Civil and criminal penalties also apply to tipping. The SEC has imposed large penalties in tipping cases even when the disclosing person did not trade
or gain any benefit from another person’s trading.
 
Controlling person liability. As of the effective date of this Policy, the penalty for “controlling person” liability is a civil fine of up to the greater of
$2.479 million or three times the profit gained or loss avoided as a result of the insider trading violations, as well as potential criminal fines and
imprisonment.
 
Company disciplinary actions. If the Company has a reasonable basis to conclude that you have failed to comply with this Policy, you may be subject
to disciplinary action by the Company, up to and including dismissal for cause, regardless of whether your failure to comply with this Policy results in a
violation of law. It is not necessary for the Company to wait for the filing or conclusion of any civil or criminal action against an alleged violator before
taking disciplinary action. In addition, the Company may give stop transfer and other instructions to the Company’s transfer agent to enforce compliance
with this Policy.
 
Compliance Officers
 
Please direct any questions, requests or reports as to any of the matters discussed in this Policy to the Company’s General Counsel or another attorney
in the Company’s Legal Department designated by the General Counsel (the “Compliance Officers”). The Compliance Officers are generally responsible
for the administration of this Policy. The Compliance Officers may select others to assist with the execution of their duties (including pre-clearance of
trades).
 
Reporting violations
 
It is your responsibility to help enforce this Policy. You should be alert to possible violations and promptly report violations or suspected violations of
this Policy to a Compliance Officer. If your situation requires that your identity be kept secret, your anonymity will be preserved to the greatest extent
reasonably possible. If you wish to remain anonymous, send a letter addressed to both of the Compliance Officers at the Company’s principal executive
offices. If you make an anonymous report, please provide as much detail as possible, including any evidence that you believe may be relevant to the issue.
While we will attempt to accommodate your desire to remain anonymous, we may need to know and disclose your identity to conduct an investigation and,
if any is required, to take remedial action.
 
Personal responsibility
 
The ultimate responsibility for complying with this Policy and applicable laws and regulations rests with you. You should use your best judgment at all
times and consult with your legal and financial advisors, as needed. We advise you to seek assistance if you have any questions at all regarding insider
trading. The rules relating to insider trading can be complex, and a violation of insider trading laws can carry severe consequences.

PERSONS AND TRANSACTIONS COVERED BY THIS POLICY
 
Persons covered by this Policy
 
This Policy applies to all Board members, officers and employees of the Company as well as other individuals that the Company may designate as
being subject to this Policy by written notice from a Compliance Officer to such individual (each a “designated person”). The Company may also
determine that other persons should be subject to this Policy, such as contractors or consultants who have access to material nonpublic information.
References in this Policy to “you” (as well as general references to Board members, officers, employees, contractors and consultants of the Company and
designated persons) should also be understood to include members of your immediate family, persons with whom you share a household, persons that are
your economic dependents and any other individuals or entities whose transactions in securities you influence, direct or control. You are responsible for
making sure that these other individuals and entities comply with this Policy.
 
Types of transactions covered by this Policy
 
Except as discussed in the section entitled “Limited Exceptions,” this Policy applies to all transactions involving the securities of the Company or the
securities of other companies as to which you possess material nonpublic information obtained in the course of your service with the Company. This Policy
therefore applies to purchases, sales and other transfers of common stock, options, warrants, preferred stock, debt securities (such as debentures, bonds and
notes) and other securities. This Policy also applies to any arrangements that affect economic exposure to changes in the prices of these securities. These
arrangements may include, among other things, transactions in derivative securities (such as exchange‑traded put or call options), hedging transactions,
short sales and certain decisions with respect to participation in benefit plans. This Policy also applies to any offers with respect to the transactions
discussed above. You should note that there are no exceptions from insider trading laws or this Policy based on the size of the transaction.
 
Responsibilities regarding the nonpublic information of other companies
 
This Policy prohibits the unauthorized disclosure or other misuse of any nonpublic information of other companies when that information is obtained
in the course of employment with, or other services performed on behalf of, the Company, such as the Company’s distributors, vendors, customers,
collaborators, suppliers and competitors. This Policy also prohibits insider trading and tipping based on the material nonpublic information of such other
companies.
 
Applicability of this Policy after your departure
 
You are expected to comply with this Policy until such time as you are no longer affiliated with the Company and you no longer possess any material
nonpublic information subject to this Policy. In addition, if you are subject to a trading blackout under this Policy at the time you cease to be affiliated with
the Company, you are expected to abide by the relevant blackout period and any other trading restrictions imposed by applicable law and regulation.
 
No exceptions based on personal circumstances
 
There may be instances where you suffer financial harm or other hardship or are otherwise required to forego a planned transaction because of the
restrictions imposed by this Policy. Personal financial emergency or other personal circumstances are not mitigating factors under securities laws and will
not excuse a failure to comply with this Policy.

MATERIAL NONPUBLIC INFORMATION
 
“Material” information
 
Information should be regarded as material if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in deciding
whether to buy, hold or sell securities or would view the information as significantly altering the total mix of information in the marketplace about the
issuer of the security. In general, any information that could reasonably be expected to affect the market price of a security is likely to be material. Either
positive or negative information may be material.
 
It is not possible to define all categories of “material” information. However, some examples of information that would often be regarded as material
include information with respect to:
 
 
●
Financial results, financial condition, earnings pre-announcements, guidance, projections or forecasts, particularly if inconsistent with the
expectations of the investment community;
 
 
●
Restatements of financial results, or material impairments, write-offs or restructurings;
 
 
●
Changes in independent auditors, or notification that the Company may no longer rely on an audit report;
 
 
●
Business plans or budgets;
 
 
●
Creation of significant financial obligations, or any significant default under or acceleration of any financial obligation;
 
 
●
Impending bankruptcy or financial liquidity problems;
 
 
●
Significant developments involving business relationships, including execution, modification or termination of significant agreements or
orders with customers, suppliers, distributors, manufacturers or other business partners;
 
 
●
Clinical and development data, communications with or submissions to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or foreign counterpart
agencies, product defects, warnings, alerts or recalls or significant pricing changes or other product announcements of a significant
nature;
 
 
●
Therapeutic targets and product candidates;
 
 
●
Significant developments relating to intellectual property;
 
 
●
Significant legal or regulatory developments, whether actual or threatened;
 
 
●
Major events involving the Company’s securities, including calls of securities for redemption, adoption of stock repurchase programs,
option repricings, stock splits, changes in dividend policies, public or private securities offerings, modification to the rights of security
holders or notice of delisting;
 
 
●
Significant corporate events, such as a pending or proposed merger, joint venture or tender offer, a significant investment, the acquisition
or disposition of a significant business or asset or a change in control of the Company; and
 
 
●
Major personnel changes, such as changes in senior management or lay-offs.
 
If you have any questions as to whether information should be considered “material,” you should consult with a Compliance Officer. In general, it is
advisable to resolve any close questions as to the materiality of any information by assuming that the information is material.
 
4

 
 
“Nonpublic” information
 
Information is considered nonpublic if the information has not been broadly disseminated to the public for a sufficient period to be reflected in the
price of the security. Any questions as to whether information is nonpublic should be directed to a Compliance Officer.
 
POLICIES REGARDING MATERIAL NONPUBLIC INFORMATION
 
Confidentiality of nonpublic information
 
The unauthorized use or disclosure of nonpublic information relating to the Company or other companies is prohibited. All nonpublic information you
acquire in the course of your service with the Company may only be used for legitimate company business purposes. In addition, nonpublic information of
others should be handled in accordance with the terms of any relevant nondisclosure and/or Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions agreements,
and the use of any such nonpublic information should be limited to the purpose for which it was disclosed.
 
All nonpublic information must only be used for company business purposes. You have an obligation to use all reasonable efforts to safeguard the
Company’s nonpublic information. You may not disclose nonpublic information about the Company, or any other company, unless required by law or
unless (i) disclosure is required for legitimate Company business purposes, (ii) you are authorized to disclose the information and (iii) appropriate steps
have been taken to prevent misuse of that information by the recipient (including entering into an appropriate confidentiality agreement that restricts the
disclosure and use of the information, if applicable). This responsibility includes not disclosing nonpublic information in Internet discussion groups, chat
rooms, bulletin boards, social media websites, blogs or other electronic media. In cases where disclosing nonpublic information to third parties is required,
you should first coordinate with an attorney in the Legal Department so that appropriate confidentiality agreements can be put in place. The misuse of
nonpublic information is contrary to Company policy and may also be a violation of law.
 
These policies are not intended to discourage employees from utilizing reporting procedures set forth in the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and
Ethics or Whistleblower Policy or as required by law or regulation.
 
No trading on material nonpublic information
 
Except as discussed in the section entitled “Limited Exceptions,” you may not, directly or indirectly through others, engage in any transaction
involving the Company’s securities while aware of material nonpublic information relating to the Company. It is not an excuse that you did not “use” the
information in your transaction.
 
Similarly, you may not engage in transactions involving the securities of any other company if you are aware of material nonpublic information about
that company when that information is obtained in the course of employment with, or other services performed on behalf of, the Company (except to the
extent the transactions are analogous to those presented in the section entitled “Limited Exceptions”). For example, you may be involved in a proposed
transaction involving a prospective business relationship or transaction with another company. If information about that business relationship or transaction
constitutes material nonpublic information for that other company, you would be prohibited from engaging in transactions involving the securities of that
other company (as well as transactions involving the Company’s securities, if that information is material to the Company). It is important to note that
“materiality” is different for different companies. Information that is not material to the Company may be material to another company, and vice versa. You
also should note that the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics prohibits you from acquiring a financial interest in other companies if your
ownership would constitute a conflict of interest.
 
 
5

 
 
No disclosing material nonpublic information for the benefit of others
 
You may not disclose material nonpublic information concerning the Company or any other company to friends, family members or any other person
or entity not authorized to receive such information where such person or entity may benefit by trading on the basis of such information. In addition, you
may not make recommendations or express opinions on the basis of material nonpublic information as to trading in the securities of companies to which
such information relates. You are prohibited from engaging in these actions whether or not you derive any profit or personal benefit from doing so.
 
Obligation to disclose material nonpublic information to the Company
 
You may not enter into any transaction, including those discussed in the section entitled “Limited Exceptions,” unless you have disclosed any material
nonpublic information that you become aware of in the course of your service with the Company, and that senior management is not aware of, to a
Compliance Officer. If you are a member of senior management, the information must be disclosed to the Chief Executive Officer, and if you are the Chief
Executive Officer or a Board member, you must disclose the information to the board of directors, before any transaction is permissible.
 
Responding to outside inquiries for information
 
The Company regularly enters into Confidentiality Agreements with business entities that permit the exchange of confidential information as may be
necessary for the Company to conduct its business. In the event you receive an inquiry from someone outside of the Company, such as a stock analyst,
investor or reporter, for information, you should refer the inquiry to a “Designated Person” as described in the Company’s Corporate Communications
Policy. The Company is required under Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) of the U.S. federal securities laws to avoid the selective disclosure of material
nonpublic information. In general, the regulation provides that when a public company discloses material nonpublic information, it must provide broad,
non-exclusionary access to the information. Violations of this regulation can subject the Company to SEC enforcement actions, which may result in
injunctions and severe monetary penalties. The Company has established procedures for releasing material information in a manner that is designed to
achieve broad public dissemination of the information immediately upon its release in compliance with applicable law. Please consult the Company’s
Corporate Communications Policy for more details.

TRADING BLACKOUT PERIODS
 
To limit the likelihood of trading at times when there is a significant risk of insider trading exposure, the Company has instituted quarterly trading
blackout periods and may from time to time institute special trading blackout periods. In addition, to comply with applicable legal requirements, the
Company may also institute blackout periods that prevent Board members and executive officers from trading in Company securities at a time when
employees are prevented from trading Company securities in the Company’s 401(k) plan.
 
It is important to note that whether or not you are subject to blackout periods, or whether a blackout period is currently in effect, you remain subject to
the prohibitions on trading on the basis of material nonpublic information and any other applicable restrictions in this Policy.
 
Quarterly blackout periods
 
Except as discussed in the section entitled “Limited Exceptions,” all individuals listed on Schedule I must refrain from conducting transactions
involving the Company’s securities during quarterly blackout periods.
 
Quarterly blackout periods begin on the 16th calendar day of the last month of each fiscal quarter (except with respect to the first quarter blackout
period, which begins on the later of (i) the eighth full trading day following the date of public disclosure of the financial results for the fourth quarter of the
preceding fiscal year or (ii) the 16th calendar day of the last month of the first quarter) and end at the start of the second full trading day following the date
of public disclosure of the financial results for that fiscal quarter. This period is a particularly sensitive time for transactions involving the Company’s
securities from the perspective of compliance with applicable securities laws due to the fact that, during this period, individuals may often possess or have
access to material nonpublic information relevant to the expected financial results for the quarter.
 
For example, the blackout period for the Company’s third fiscal quarter begins on September 16 each year. For hypothetical purposes only, if in 2016,
the Company were to issue its earnings release for the third quarter on Wednesday, November 2 after market close, the blackout period would then end at
the start of trading on Friday, November 4 — that is, assuming you were not in possession of material nonpublic information, you would be able to trade in
Company securities again beginning on November 4, 2016. For purposes of this hypothetical, the blackout period would begin on September 16, 2016 and
would end at the start of the trading day on November 4, 2016.
 
Individuals subject to quarterly blackout periods are listed on Schedule I. From time to time, the Company may identify other persons who should be
subject to quarterly blackout periods, and the Compliance Officers may update and revise Schedule I as appropriate.
 
The term “trading day” means a day on which national stock exchanges are open for trading. A “full” trading day has elapsed when, after the public
disclosure, trading in the relevant security has opened and then closed.
 
Special blackout periods
 
From time to time, the Company may also prohibit Board members, officers, employees and designated persons from engaging in transactions
involving the Company’s securities when, in the judgment of a Compliance Officer, a trading blackout is warranted. The Company will generally impose
special blackout periods when there are material developments known to the Company that have not yet been disclosed to the public. For example, the
Company may impose a special blackout period in anticipation of announcing interim earnings guidance, clinical data or a significant transaction or
business development. However, special blackout periods may be declared for any reason.
 
The Company will notify those persons subject to a special blackout period. Each person who has been so identified and notified by the Company may
not engage in any transaction involving the Company’s securities until instructed otherwise by a Compliance Officer, and should not disclose to others the
fact of such suspension of trading.

Regulation BTR blackouts
 
Board members and executive officers may also be subject to trading blackouts pursuant to Regulation Blackout Trading Restriction, or
Regulation  BTR, under U.S. federal securities laws. In general, Regulation  BTR prohibits any director or executive officer from engaging in certain
transactions involving Company securities during periods when 401(k) plan participants are prevented from purchasing, selling or otherwise acquiring or
transferring an interest in certain securities held in individual account plans. Any profits realized from a transaction that violates Regulation BTR are
recoverable by the Company, regardless of the intentions of the director or officer effecting the transaction. In addition, individuals who engage in such
transactions are subject to sanction by the SEC as well as potential criminal liability. When applicable, the Company will provide separate memoranda and
other appropriate materials to its Board members and executive officers regarding compliance with Regulation BTR.
 
The Company will notify Board members and executive officers if they are subject to a blackout trading restriction under Regulation BTR. Failure to
comply with an applicable trading blackout in accordance with Regulation BTR is a violation of law and this Policy.
 
No “safe harbors”
 
There are no unconditional “safe harbors” for trades made at particular times, and all persons subject to this Policy should exercise good judgment at
all times. Even when a quarterly blackout period is not in effect, you may be prohibited from engaging in transactions involving the Company’s securities
because you possess material nonpublic information, are subject to a special blackout period or are otherwise restricted under this Policy.

PRE-CLEARANCE OF TRADES
 
Except as discussed in the section entitled “Limited Exceptions,” Board members and officers should refrain from engaging in any transaction
involving the Company’s securities without first obtaining pre‑clearance of the transaction from a Compliance Officer in consultation with the Chief
Executive Officer (except for transactions by the Chief Executive Officer, in which case the Compliance Officer will consult with the Chairperson of the
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors or the Lead Independent Director of the Board of Directors). In addition, the Company has determined that
certain other employees of the Company that may have regular or special access to material nonpublic information should refrain from engaging in any
transaction involving the Company’s securities without first obtaining pre‑clearance of the transaction from a Compliance Officer in consultation with the
Chief Executive Officer. A Compliance Officer may not engage in a transaction involving the Company’s securities unless the Chief Executive Officer,
General Counsel (if such Compliance Officer is not General Counsel), Vice President, Finance or Chief Financial Officer has pre‑cleared the transaction. In
addition, a Compliance Officer may not pre-clear a transaction of any other employee in his or her department who is responsible for administering any
part of this Policy. Individuals subject to pre‑clearance requirements are listed on Schedule II. From time to time, the Company may identify other persons
who should be subject to the pre‑clearance requirements set forth above, and the Compliance Officers may update and revise Schedule II as appropriate.
 
These pre-clearance procedures are intended to decrease insider trading risks associated with transactions by individuals with regular or special access
to material nonpublic information. In addition, requiring pre‑clearance of transactions by Board members and officers facilitates compliance with Rule 144
resale restrictions under the Securities Act, the liability and reporting provisions of Section 16 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), and Regulation BTR. Pre-clearance of a trade, however, is not a defense to a claim of insider trading and does not excuse you from
otherwise complying with insider trading laws or this Policy.
 
The Compliance Officers are under no obligation to approve a transaction submitted for pre‑clearance, and in their sole discretion may determine not
to permit the transaction.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT
 
Obligations under Section 16
 
Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the related rules and regulations, set forth (i) reporting obligations, (ii) limitations on “short‑swing” transactions
and (iii) limitations on short sales and other transactions applicable to Board members, executive officers, large shareholders and certain other persons. The
Company has provided, or will provide, memoranda and other materials addressing these matters.
 
The Company has determined that those persons listed on Schedule III are required to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the related
rules and regulations, because of their positions with the Company. The Compliance Officers may amend Schedule III from time to time as appropriate to
reflect the election of new executive officers or Board members, any change in the responsibilities of executive officers or other employees and any
promotions, demotions, resignations or departures.
 
Schedule III is not necessarily an exhaustive list of persons subject to Section 16 requirements at any given time. Even if you are not listed on
Schedule III, you may be subject to Section 16 reporting obligations because of your shareholdings, for example.
 
Notification requirements to facilitate Section 16 reporting
 
To facilitate timely reporting of transactions pursuant to Section  16 requirements, each person subject to Section  16 reporting requirements must
provide, or must ensure that his or her broker provides, the Company with detailed information (e.g., trade date, number of shares, exact price, etc.)
regarding his or her transactions involving the Company’s securities, including gifts, transfers, pledges and transactions pursuant to a trading plan, both
prior to (to confirm compliance with pre-clearance procedures, if applicable) and promptly following execution.
 
Personal responsibility
 
The obligation to file Section 16 reports, and to otherwise comply with Section 16, is personal. The Company is not responsible for the failure to
comply with Section 16 requirements.
 
10

 
 
 
ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS AND GUIDANCE
 
This section addresses certain types of transactions that may expose you and the Company to significant risks. You should understand that, even
though a transaction may not be expressly prohibited by this section, you are responsible for ensuring that the transaction otherwise complies with other
provisions in this Policy that may apply to the transaction, such as the general prohibition against insider trading as well as pre-clearance procedures and
blackout periods, to the extent applicable.
 
Short sales
 
Short sales (i.e., the sale of a security that must be borrowed to make delivery) and “selling short against the box” (i.e., a sale with a delayed delivery)
with respect to Company securities are prohibited under this Policy. Short sales may signal to the market possible bad news about the Company or a general
lack of confidence in the Company’s prospects, and an expectation that the value of the Company’s securities will decline. In addition, short sales are
effectively a bet against the Company’s success and may reduce the seller’s incentive to improve the Company’s performance. Short sales may also create a
suspicion that the seller is engaged in insider trading.
 
Derivative securities and hedging transactions
 
Transactions in publicly-traded options, such as puts and calls, and other derivative securities with respect to the Company’s securities are prohibited
under this Policy. Transactions in derivative securities may reflect a short‑term and speculative interest in the Company’s securities and may create the
appearance of impropriety, even where a transaction does not involve trading on inside information. Trading in derivatives may also focus attention on
short‑term performance at the expense of the Company’s long‑term objectives. This prohibition extends to any hedging or similar transaction designed to
decrease the risks associated with holding Company securities. Stock options, stock appreciation rights and other securities issued pursuant to Company
benefit plans or other compensatory arrangements with the Company are not subject to this prohibition.
 
Using Company securities as collateral for loans
 
If you are required to comply with Section  16 of the Exchange Act or pre-clearance requirements under this Policy (i.e., if you are listed on
Schedule II or III), you may not pledge Company securities as collateral for loans unless such pledge is approved in accordance with the “Pledge/Margin
Pre-Approval Process” set forth below. If you default on the loan, the lender typically is permitted to sell the pledged securities as collateral in a foreclosure
sale. The sale, even though not initiated at your request, is still considered a sale for your benefit under securities laws and, if made at a time when you are
aware of material nonpublic information or otherwise are not permitted to trade in Company securities, may result in inadvertent insider trading violations,
Section 16 and Regulation BTR violations (for executive officers and Board members), violations of this Policy and unfavorable publicity for you and the
Company. For example, if a sale occurs during a regular quarterly blackout period, you will be in violation of this Policy. For these same reasons, even if
you are not prohibited from pledging Company securities as collateral for loans, you should exercise significant caution when doing so.
 
Holding Company securities in margin accounts
 
If you are required to comply with Section  16 of the Exchange Act or pre-clearance requirements under this Policy (i.e., if you are listed on
Schedule II or III), you may not hold Company securities in margin accounts in which Company securities may be sold without your consent unless such
arrangement is approved in accordance with the “Pledge/Margin Account Pre-Approval Process” set forth below. Under typical margin arrangements, if
you fail to meet a margin call, the broker may be entitled to sell securities held in the margin account without your consent. The sale, even though not
initiated at your request, is still considered a sale for your benefit under securities laws and, if made at a time when you are aware of material nonpublic
information or are otherwise not permitted to trade, may result in inadvertent insider trading violations, Section 16 and Regulation BTR violations (for
executive officers and Board members), violations of this Policy and unfavorable publicity for you and the Company. For example, if a sale occurs during a
regular quarterly blackout period, you will be in violation of this Policy. For these same reasons, even if you are not prohibited from holding Company
securities in margin accounts, you should exercise significant caution when doing so.
 
11

 
 
Placing open orders with brokers
 
Except in accordance with an approved trading plan (as discussed below), you should exercise caution when placing open orders, such as limit orders
or stop orders, with brokers, particularly where the order is likely to remain outstanding for an extended period of time. Open orders may result in the
execution of a trade at a time when you are aware of material nonpublic information or otherwise are not permitted to trade in Company securities, which
may result in inadvertent insider trading violations, Section 16 and Regulation BTR violations (for executive officers and Board members), violations of
this Policy and unfavorable publicity for you and the Company. You should inform any broker with whom you place any open order at the time it is placed
that you are subject to this Policy and its blackout periods (and pre-clearance requirements, if applicable).
 
Pledge/Margin Account Pre-Approval Process
 
An exception to the above prohibitions on pledging Company securities as collateral for loans and holding Company securities in margin accounts may
be granted in limited circumstances where a person wishes to pledge Company securities as collateral for a loan (but not including margin debt) and clearly
demonstrates the financial capacity to repay the loan without resort to the pledged securities. Any person who wishes to pledge Company securities as
collateral for a loan must submit a request for approval to a Compliance Officer, sufficiently in advance (at least two weeks) to enable evaluation of the
pledge arrangement and, prior to the proposed execution of documents evidencing the proposed pledge:
 
 
●
with respect to a proposed pledge by the Chief Executive Officer or any other executive officer, any Board member or any Compliance
Officer, to obtain approval from the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors; or
 
 
●
with respect to a proposed pledge by any other person subject to the pre-clearance requirements under this Policy (i.e., listed on Schedule
II or III), to obtain approval from a Compliance Officer in consultation with (i) the Chief Executive Officer and (ii) either the Board of
Directors or the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
 
12

 
 
 
LIMITED EXCEPTIONS
 
The following are certain limited exceptions to the restrictions imposed by the Company under this Policy. Please be aware that even if a transaction is
subject to an exception to this Policy, you will need to separately assess whether the transaction complies with applicable law. For example, even if a
transaction is indicated as exempt from this Policy, you may need to comply with the “short-swing” trading restrictions under Section 16 of the Exchange
Act, to the extent applicable. You are responsible for complying with applicable law at all times.
 
Transactions pursuant to a trading plan that complies with SEC rules
 
The SEC has enacted rules that provide an affirmative defense against alleged violations of U.S. federal insider trading laws for transactions pursuant
to trading plans that meet certain requirements. In general, the affirmative defense provided by Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act will apply if you enter
into a contract, provide instructions or adopt a written plan for trading securities in good faith and when you are not aware of material nonpublic
information. The contract, instructions or plan must (i)  specify the amount, price and date of the transaction, (ii)  specify an objective method for
determining the amount, price and date of the transaction and/or (iii) place any subsequent discretion for determining the amount, price and date of the
transaction in another person who is not, at the time of the transaction, aware of material nonpublic information.
 
Transactions made pursuant to a written trading plan that (i) complies with the affirmative defense set forth in Rule 10b5‑1 and (ii) has been provided
to a Compliance Officer in the legal department for review prior to adoption or modification, are not subject to the restrictions in this Policy against trades
made while aware of material nonpublic information or to the pre‑clearance procedures or blackout periods established under this Policy. In reviewing a
trading plan (including modifications to a trading plan), a Compliance Officer may, consistent with and in furtherance of the objectives expressed in this
Policy, impose criteria in addition to those set forth in Rule 10b5‑1. You must provide the Compliance Officer a reasonable amount of time, at least two
weeks, to review any proposed new or modified trading plan.
 
The SEC rules regarding trading plans are complex and must be complied with completely to be effective. The description provided above is only a
summary, and the Company strongly advises that you consult with your legal advisor if you intend to adopt a trading plan. While trading plans are subject
to review by the Company, the individual adopting the trading plan is ultimately responsible for compliance with Rule 10b5‑1 and ensuring that the trading
plan complies with this Policy.
 
Following the review of a trading plan by a Compliance Officer, the executed trading plan, including proposed modifications to the trading plan, must
be filed with a Compliance Officer in the legal department and must be accompanied by an executed certificate stating that the trading plan complies with
Rule 10b5‑1 and any other criteria established by the Company. The Company may, and, in the case of Board members and executive officers must to the
extent required by applicable law, publicly disclose information regarding trading plans that you may enter into, modify or terminate. Attached as Annex A
to this Policy are guidelines for preparing a trading plan and the minimum requirements that any trading plan must meet to comply with this Policy. The
Compliance Officers may impose additional requirements consistent with and in furtherance of the objectives expressed in this Policy.
 
Receipt and vesting of stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights
 
The trading restrictions under this Policy do not apply to the acceptance or purchase of stock options, restricted stock or stock appreciation rights
issued or offered by the Company. The trading restrictions under this Policy also do not apply to the vesting, cancellation or forfeiture of stock options,
restricted stock or stock appreciation rights in accordance with applicable plans and agreements.
 
13

 
 
Exercise of stock options for cash
 
The trading restrictions under this Policy do not apply to the exercise of stock options for cash under the Company’s stock option plans. Likewise, the
trading restrictions under this Policy do not apply to the exercise of stock options in a stock‑for‑stock exercise with the Company or an election to have the
Company withhold securities to cover tax obligations in connection with an option exercise. However, the trading restrictions under this Policy do apply
(i) to the sale of any securities issued upon the exercise of a stock option, (ii) to a cashless exercise of a stock option through a broker, since this involves
selling a portion of the underlying shares to cover the costs of exercise, and (iii) to any other market sale for the purpose of generating the cash needed to
pay the exercise price of an option.
 
Certain 401(k) plan transactions
 
Although the Company currently does not offer its employees the ability to purchase or sell Company stock in a 401(k) plan, if the Company does
offer this ability in the future these trading restrictions will not apply to purchases of Company stock in the 401(k) plan resulting from periodic
contributions to the plan based on your payroll contribution election. The trading restrictions will apply, however, to elections you may make under the
401(k) plan (i) to increase or decrease the percentage of your contributions that will be allocated to a Company stock fund, (ii) to move balances into or out
of a Company stock fund, (iii) to borrow money against your 401(k) plan account if the loan will result in liquidation of some or all of your Company stock
fund balance, and (iv) to pre‑pay a plan loan if the pre‑payment will result in the allocation of loan proceeds to a Company stock fund.
 
Stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions
 
The trading restrictions under this Policy do not apply to a change in the number of securities held as a result of a stock split or stock dividend applying
equally to all securities of a class, or similar transactions.
 
Bona fide gifts and inheritance
 
The trading restrictions under this Policy do not apply to bona fide gifts involving Company securities or transfers by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.
 
Change in form of ownership
 
Transactions that involve merely a change in the form in which you own securities are permissible. For example, you may transfer shares to an inter
vivos trust of which you are the sole beneficiary during your lifetime.
 
Other exceptions
 
Any other exception from this Policy must be approved by a Compliance Officer, in consultation with the Board of Directors or an independent
committee of the Board of Directors.
 
14

 
 
 
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 
Delivery of Policy
 
This Policy will be delivered to all Board members, officers, employees and designated persons of the Company when they commence service with the
Company. In addition, this Policy (or a summary of this Policy) will be circulated periodically. Each Board member, officer, employee and designated
person of the Company is required to acknowledge that he or she understands, and agrees to comply with, this Policy. Any failure to provide such an
acknowledgment will not relieve the Board member, officer, employee or designated person from the obligation to comply with this Policy.
 
Amendments
 
We are committed to continuously reviewing and updating our policies and procedures. The Company therefore reserves the right to amend, alter or
terminate this Policy at any time and for any reason, subject to applicable law. A current copy of the Company’s policies regarding insider trading may be
obtained by contacting a Compliance Officer.
 
* * *
 
Nothing in this Insider Trading Policy creates or implies a contractual right, an employment contract or term of employment. Employment at the
Company is employment at-will. Employment at-will may be terminated with or without cause and with or without notice at any time by the employee or
the Company. Nothing in this Insider Trading Policy shall limit the right to terminate employment at-will. No employee of the Company has any authority
to enter into any agreement for employment for a specified period of time or to make any agreement or representation contrary to the Company’s policy of
employment at-will. Only the Chief Executive Officer of the Company has the authority to make any such agreement, which must be in writing.
 
The policies in this Insider Trading Policy do not constitute a complete list of company policies or a complete list of the types of conduct that can result
in discipline, up to and including discharge.
