NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Prime Medicine, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiary (the “Company”) is a biotechnology company committed to delivering a new class of differentiated one-time curative genetic therapies. The Company is deploying Prime Editing technology, which it believes is a versatile, precise, and efficient gene editing technology. The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware in September 2019. Its principal offices are in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to building its Prime editing platform and advancing development of its portfolio of programs, establishing and protecting its intellectual property, conducting research and development activities, organizing and staffing the company, business planning, raising capital and providing general and administrative support for these operations. To date, the Company has funded its operations primarily with proceeds from sales of preferred stock and from public offerings of its common stock.

In February 2024, the Company issued and sold 22,560,001 shares of its common stock, including 3,360,000 shares pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a price to the public of $6.25 per share. Further, in lieu of common stock to certain investors, the Company sold pre-funded warrants to purchase 3,200,005 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $6.24999 per pre-funded warrant, which represents the per share public offering price of each share of common stock less the $0.00001 per share exercise price for each pre-funded warrant. As a result of the offering, the Company received approximately $150.9 million in net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering costs of $10.1 million.

On September 28, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Research Collaboration and License Agreement (the “BMS Collaboration Agreement”) with Juno Therapeutics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”). Additionally, on the Effective Date, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “BMS Purchase Agreement”) with BMS, pursuant which the Company agreed to sell and issue shares of its common stock to BMS. The BMS Collaboration Agreement and the BMS Purchase Agreement are discussed in greater detail in Note 9, Significant Agreements. Under the BMS Collaboration Agreement, the Company received the $55.0 million equity investment in September 2024 and the $55.0 million upfront payment in October 2024.

Since its inception, the Company has incurred substantial losses and, as of September 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $644.9 million. The Company expects to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $175.5 million as of September 30, 2024, along with the $55.0 million upfront payment received from BMS in October 2024 discussed above, will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, completing preclinical studies and clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approval for product candidates, market acceptance of products, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, the ability to attract and retain qualified employees, reliance on third-party organizations, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, and the ability to raise additional capital to fund operations. The Company’s product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital,

adequate personnel and infrastructure, and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if the Company’s development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales.

The Company will need to raise additional capital to support its continuing operations and to pursue its growth strategy. Until such time as the Company can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, it expects to finance its operations through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. The Company may be unable to raise additional capital or enter into such other agreements when needed on favorable terms or at all. The inability to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy. The Company will need to generate significant revenue to achieve profitability, and it may never do so.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the ASC and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Prime Medicine, Inc. are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2024, the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are also unaudited. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2023 was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2024.

Change in Presentation

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, “Other income, net” as presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss was disaggregated into “Accretion (amortization) of investments,” “Interest income,” and “Other income, net”. This presentation has been conformed for all previous periods presented and had no impact on previously reported results.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2, Summary of significant accounting policies, in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2024. Since the date of those financial statements, there have been no material changes to its significant accounting policies, except as noted below.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities

and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected within these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the valuation of the Company’s common stock and stock-based awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates or assumptions.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”). This standard applies to all contracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of other standards. Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company enters into collaboration and licensing agreements with partners, which are within the scope of ASC 606, under which it may exclusively license rights to research, develop, manufacture, and commercialize product candidates to third parties. The terms of these arrangements typically include payment to the Company of one or more of the following: (1) non-refundable, upfront fees; (2) equity investment; (3) reimbursement of certain costs; (4) customer option fees for additional goods or services; (5) development milestone payments; (6) regulatory milestone payments; (7) commercial milestone payments; and (8) royalties on net sales of licensed products.

In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. As part of the accounting for these arrangements, the Company must use its judgment to determine: (a) the number of performance obligations based on the determination under step (ii) above; (b) the transaction price under step (iii) above; (c) the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract for the allocation of transaction price in step (iv) above; and (d) the contract term and pattern of satisfaction of the performance obligations under step (v) above. The Company uses judgment to determine whether milestones or other variable consideration, except for royalties, should be included in the transaction price as described further below. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, for which the Company recognizes revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition.

Amounts due to the Company for satisfying the revenue recognition criteria or that are contractually due based upon the terms of the collaboration agreements are recorded as collaboration receivable in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amounts received prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue expected to be recognized as revenue within 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as current deferred revenue. Amounts not expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as deferred revenue, net of current.

Milestone payments

At the inception of each arrangement that includes development milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company or the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved

until those approvals are received. The Company evaluates factors such as the scientific, clinical, regulatory, commercial and other risks that must be overcome to achieve the particular milestone in making this assessment. There is considerable judgment involved in determining whether it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company reevaluates the probability of achievement of all milestones subject to constraint and, if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect revenues and earnings in the period of adjustment.

Warrants

Management assesses warrants under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity to determine whether they should be classified as equity or liability. If the classification is determined to be equity, proceeds received for the warrants are recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. If classified as a liability, the Company records the warrant as a liability on its consolidated balance sheet and remeasures this liability to fair value at each reporting date and recognizes changes in the fair value of the warrant liability as a component of other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires all public entities, including public entities with a single reportable segment, to provide in interim and annual periods one or more measures of segment profit or loss used by the chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance.

6.Leases

The Company leases office and laboratory space under various non-cancelable operating leases. The Company’s significant lease agreements are disclosed in Note 9, Leases, in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2024. Since the date of those financial statements, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant agreements except as described below.

60 First Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts Lease

In November 2021, the Company entered into a lease for three floors of office and laboratory space in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with rent commencing in March 2024, subject to any credits pursuant to the terms of the lease. Subsequent to the initial non-cancelable term of the lease of ten years, the Company has an option to extend the lease for an additional period of ten years with the rent during the extension term being the then fair market rent. The Company secured the lease with a $13.1 million security deposit, which was recorded as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Accounting Considerations

The Company determined that the lease contained three separate lease components, each of which represents a right of use that the Company can benefit from on its own and neither of which are highly dependent nor highly related to each other. The Company allocated the consideration among the three lease components based on their relative fair market values.

In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the lease commenced for one of the lease components in March 2024 and the Company recorded a right-of-use asset of $44.9 million, and a corresponding lease liability of $33.6 million on the lease commencement date; this includes a reclass of $11.3 million from prepaid expenses to right-of-use asset related to build out costs which were determined to be owned by the lessor. As the exercise of the option to extend the lease term is not reasonably certain, the Company will recognize lease expense for this lease component through February 2034.

The lease commencement for the other two lease components is expected to occur in 2025. Any consideration paid to lease components for which the lease has not commenced are recorded as prepaid expense on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Arsenal Street, Watertown, Massachusetts Leases

In August 2024, the Company entered into the third amendment to its existing lease for approximately 16,000 square feet of combined laboratory and office space at 480 Arsenal Street (the “480 Arsenal Amendment”). In September 2024, the Company entered into a new lease for approximately 48,500 square feet of combined laboratory and office

space at 500 Arsenal Street (the “500 Arsenal Lease”). The landlords of the spaces at 480 Arsenal Street and 500 Arsenal Street are affiliates.

The 480 Arsenal Amendment provides the Company with an additional 9,400 square feet of combined laboratory and office space (the “Expansion Space”) at no additional cost and also provides an early termination date for the existing space and the Expansion Space as the later of: 1) the date occurring 150 days after the lease commencement of 500 Arsenal Lease, or 2) 30 days after substantial completion, as defined in the 500 Arsenal Lease, of tenant improvements at 500 Arsenal Street. If the 500 Arsenal Lease is terminated prior to its lease commencement such that the lease commencement never occurs, the Company will begin paying lease payments on the Expansion Space at the current rate for its existing space at 480 Arsenal Street and the early termination provisions of the 480 Arsenal Amendment become null and void.

The 500 Arsenal Lease term is expected to commence in December 2024 with a base term of 11 months. Subsequent to the base term, the Company has an option to extend the lease through August 2028. The Company secured the lease with a $0.6 million security deposit, which was recorded as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024. The 500 Arsenal Lease also provides a tenant improvement allowance of $2.4 million and an additional tenant improvement allowance of $1.2 million, which the Company would be obligated to repay to the landlord.

Accounting Considerations

As the 480 Arsenal Amendment and the 500 Arsenal Lease meet the criteria for combining contracts under ASC 842, the Company determined that both 480 Arsenal Amendment and the 500 Arsenal Lease are modifications to its existing lease at 480 Arsenal Street. Within the combined contract the Company identified two separate lease components, each of which represents a right of use that the Company can benefit from on its own and none which are neither highly dependent nor highly related to the other. The Company allocated the consideration under the combined contract among the two lease components based on their relative fair market value. In calculating the allocable consideration and the fair market value of each lease component, the Company determined it is probable that it will exercise the option to extend the lease term provided under the 500 Arsenal Lease.

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company possessed the ability to control and derive the economic benefit for its leased space at 480 Arsenal on the effective date of the modification. Therefore, on the effective date, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, neither of which were materially different from the existing right-of-use asset and lease liability as of the modification date.

For accounting purposes, the lease commencement for 500 Arsenal is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2025. Consideration paid for this lease component is recorded as prepaid expense on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is not recognized until lease commences.

The table below reconciles the undiscounted future annual lease payments to the total operating lease liabilities recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024:


(in thousands)	Undiscounted Amounts
Undiscounted lease payments:
Remaining in 2024	$	1,591

7.Stockholder’s Equity

Common Stock

Under the Company’s Third Amended and Restated of Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, the Company’s common stock had a par value of $0.0001 and each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote. The holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”).

As previously discussed, in February 2024, the Company issued and sold 22,560,001 shares of its common stock, including 3,360,000 shares pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a price to the public of $6.25 per share.

In September 2024, the Company entered into the BMS Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company issued, and BMS purchased, in an unregistered offering (the “Offering”), 11,006,163 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $55.0 million pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof. The BMS Purchase Agreement includes lock-up restrictions with respect to the Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the BMS Purchase Agreement, BMS has agreed not to, directly or indirectly, sell or transfer any of the Shares until September 30, 2027 subject to specified conditions and exceptions. In addition, the Company agreed, among other things, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement covering the resale of the Shares and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective on or prior to ninety (90) calendar days after closing. Please refer to Note 9, Significant Agreements, for additional discussion of the BMS Collaboration Agreement.

Pre-funded Warrants

As discussed in Note 1, Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation, in February 2024, the Company sold pre-funded warrants to purchase 3,200,005 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $6.24999 per pre-funded warrant, which represents the per share public offering price of each share of common stock less the $0.00001 per share exercise price for each pre-funded warrant. Subject to certain requirements, the pre-funded warrants can be exercised by the holder at any time. As of September 30, 2024, there have not been any exercises of the pre-funded warrants.

The pre-funded warrants meet the definition of an equity instrument under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and funds received were recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Funds received upon exercise of warrants will be recorded as common

stock in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as the exercise price represents the par value of the underlying common stock.

At-The-Market Equity Program

In November 2023, the Company entered into Open Market Sale AgreementSM (the “Sales Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC, acting as the Company’s agent and/or principal (the “Sales Agent”), with respect to an “at the market offering” program under which the Company may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million through the Sales Agent. As of September 30, 2024, there have been no sales of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

8.Stock-Based Compensation

2019 Equity Incentive Plan

The Company’s 2019 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the “2019 Plan”) provides for the Company to grant incentive stock options (“ISO”), non-qualified stock options, unrestricted stock awards, restricted stock awards (“RSA”) and other stock-based awards (collectively, the “Awards”) to the officers, employees, consultants and other key persons of the Company. The 2019 Plan was administered by the Board of Directors, or at the discretion of the Board of Directors, by a committee of the Board of Directors. The exercise prices, vesting and other restrictions are determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors, or its committee if so delegated.

In October 2022, in connection with the closing of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), the Board of Directors determined that no further awards would be granted under the 2019 Plan.

2022 Stock Option and Incentive Plan

On February 9, 2022, the Board of Directors adopted, and on October 10, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2022 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which became effective on October 18, 2022. The 2022 Plan allows the Company to make equity-based and cash-based incentive awards to its officers, employees, directors, and consultants. The 2022 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards.

The shares of common stock underlying any awards under the 2022 Plan and the 2019 Plan that are forfeited, cancelled, held back upon exercise or settlement of an award to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of stock, expire, or are otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) will be added back to the shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2022 Plan. The number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2022 Plan increased on January 1, 2023 and will increase on each January 1 hereafter, by five percent of the outstanding number of shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31 or such lesser number of shares as determined by the Compensation Committee. On January 1, 2023, the annual increase resulted in an additional 4,868,856 shares authorized being added to the 2022 Plan. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 21,522,110 shares reserved under the 2022 Plan and the 2019 Plan, and 8,783,976 shares available for issuance under the 2022 Plan.

2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On February 9, 2022, the Board of Directors adopted, and on October 10, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2022 ESPP”), which became effective on October 18, 2022.

The number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2022 ESPP cumulatively increased beginning on January 1, 2023 and shall increase on each January 1 hereafter through January 1, 2032, by the least of (i) 971,350 shares of common stock, (ii) one percent of the outstanding number of shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31, or (iii) such number of shares of common stock as determined by the administrator of the 2022 ESPP. There was no annual increase for the 2022 ESPP on January 1, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 1,753,191 shares available for issuance under the 2022 Plan.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 189,509 shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2022 ESPP.

9.Significant Agreements

The Company’s significant agreements are disclosed in Note 11, License and Collaboration Agreements, in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2024. Since the date of those financial statements, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant agreements except those discussed below.

Bristol-Myers Squibb — Related Party

On September 28, 2024 the Company entered into the BMS Collaboration Agreement with Juno Therapeutics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of BMS. Under the terms of the BMS Collaboration Agreement, the Company granted to BMS an exclusive worldwide license to certain Prime Editing technology for developing, manufacturing and commercializing ex vivo T-cell therapeutic products directed to select targets. Additionally, on the Effective Date, the Company entered into the BMS Purchase Agreement with BMS, pursuant which the Company agreed to sell and issue shares of its common stock to BMS.

Research Collaboration and License Agreement

Pursuant to the BMS Collaboration Agreement, the Company will design Prime Editing reagents to be used by BMS to develop, manufacture and commercialize ex vivo T-cell therapeutic products directed to specific targets selected by BMS.

Under the BMS Collaboration Agreement, the Company will receive a $55.0 million upfront payment, which is recorded as collaboration receivable — related party on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024, and received a $55.0 million equity investment from BMS (as described below). The Company is also eligible to receive more than $3.5 billion in milestones, including up to $185 million in preclinical milestones, up to $1.2 billion in development milestones, and up to $2.1 billion in commercialization milestones, along with royalties on net sales.

Unless earlier terminated, the term of the BMS Collaboration Agreement continues until expiration of the last royalty term for the applicable product in the applicable country. The BMS Collaboration Agreement is subject to customary termination provisions, including termination by a party for the other party’s uncured, material breach.

Stock Purchase Agreement

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into the BMS Purchase Agreement with BMS, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and BMS agreed to purchase, in the Offering, 11,006,163 Shares of the Company’s Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $55.0 million pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof. Pursuant to the terms of the BMS Purchase Agreement, BMS has agreed not to, directly or indirectly, sell or transfer any of the Shares until September 30, 2027 subject to specified conditions and exceptions. The BMS Collaboration Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreement were accounted for as a combined contract. The fair value of the Common Stock were recorded at their fair value as permanent equity as of September 30, 2024.

BMS Collaboration Agreement Accounting

The Company assessed the BMS Collaboration Agreement and concluded that BMS is a customer. The Company identified the following promises under the contract: (i) a license to develop, manufacture and commercialize the ex vivo T-cell therapeutic products to select targets, (ii) obligation to perform research services, (iii) participation in various committees, (iv) technology transfer services, and (v) regulatory support services. The Company assessed the promised goods and services to determine if they are distinct. Based on this assessment, the Company determined that BMS cannot benefit from the promised goods and services separately from the others as they are highly interrelated and interdependent and therefore not distinct. Accordingly, the promised goods and services represent one combined performance obligation and the entire transaction price will be allocated to that single combined performance obligation.

At contract inception, the transaction price was determined to be $72.0 million, which represents the aggregate of the upfront nonrefundable payment for the BMS Collaboration Agreement and the premium paid by BMS on its equity investment in the Company. Development milestones were fully constrained. The Company recognizes the portion of the transaction price as the single performance obligation is satisfied, using an input method, in proportion to costs incurred to date as compared to total costs incurred and expected to be incurred in the future to satisfy the underlying obligation. The transfer of control occurs over this period and, in management’s judgment, is the best measure of progress towards satisfying the performance obligation. Cost to perform the Company’s obligations

under the BMS Collaboration Agreement will be recognized as research and development expenses in the period incurred.

As of September 30, 2024, no revenue has been recognized under the BMS Collaboration Agreement and the full transaction price is recorded as deferred revenue and deferred revenue, net of current on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Supplemental information related to the BMS Collaboration Agreement consisted of the following as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands):


Collaboration receivable — related party	$	55,000
Deferred revenue — related party	9,280
Deferred revenue, net of current — related party	62,639

Amendment No. 4 to The Broad Institute License Agreement

In connection with the BMS Collaboration Agreement, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Amendment”) with The Broad Institute, Inc. (“Broad”) on September 27, 2024, which amends that certain license agreement by and between the Company and Broad, dated as of September 26, 2019 (as amended, the “Broad-Prime License Agreement”), to modify certain obligations of Company and rights of Broad in relation to the BMS Collaboration Agreement as a sublicense under the Broad-Prime License Agreement. The Amendment, among other things, modifies the royalty and certain commercial milestones that the Company is obligated to pay to Broad on net sales of products under the BMS Collaboration Agreement. Except as expressly stated in the Amendment, all other terms and provisions of the Broad-Prime License Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Amounts due to Broad as a result of the BMS Collaboration Agreement are recorded as accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024.

10.Net Loss per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders was calculated as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Numerator:



Net loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(52,518)	$	(50,708)	$	(153,606)	$	(132,490)
Denominator:
Weighted-average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted	119,764,270		91,846,835		114,492,416		90,469,866
Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted	$	(0.44)	$	(0.55)	$	(1.34)	$	(1.46)

The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used in the basic and diluted net loss per share calculations includes the weighted-average effect of pre-funded warrants sold by the Company to purchase 3,200,005 shares of the Company's common stock. The shares of common stock underlying the pre-funded warrants are considered outstanding for the purposes of computing earnings per share, because the shares may be issued for little or no consideration, they are fully vested, and the pre-funded warrants are immediately exercisable upon their issuance date.

Diluted net loss per share available to common stockholders is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. For purposes of this calculation, preferred stock, unvested restricted stock and stock options to purchase common stock were considered common stock equivalents but had been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share available to common stockholders as their effect was anti-dilutive. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss available to common stockholders, diluted net loss

per share available to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share available to common stockholders, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.

The following common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share applicable to common stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:


	As of September 30,
	2024	2023
Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents:
Options to purchase common stock	12,061,612	7,634,966
Unvested restricted common stock	3,565,262	5,094,769
Total anti-dilutive common stock equivalents:	15,626,874	12,729,735

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2024. As discussed in the section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements regarding our plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, or projections, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.

Overview

We are a biotechnology company committed to delivering a new class of differentiated one-time curative genetic therapies. We are deploying Prime Editing technology, which we believe is a versatile, precise, and efficient gene editing technology.

In September 2024, we announced that we are strategically focusing our pipeline on a set of high value programs, each targeting a disease with well-understood biology and a clearly defined clinical development and regulatory path, and each expected to provide the foundation for expansion into additional opportunities. This diversified portfolio of high value, investigational therapeutic programs is organized around our core areas of focus: hematology, immunology and oncology, liver, and lung. We are advancing additional programs as potential partnership opportunities.

Chronic granulomatous disease is our most advanced blood program, and we are advancing PM359 as our candidate in the treatment of this disease.

We believe our Prime Editing programs are well-positioned to leverage the clinical, regulatory, and manufacturing advancements made to date across gene therapy, gene editing, and delivery modalities to accelerate progression to clinical trials and potential approval.

BMS Collaboration Agreement

In September 2024, we entered into the Research Collaboration and License Agreement (the “BMS Collaboration Agreement”) with Juno Therapeutics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”), pursuant to which we granted to BMS an exclusive worldwide license to certain Prime Editing technology for developing, manufacturing and commercializing ex vivo T-cell therapeutic products directed to select targets.

Under the terms of the BMS Collaboration Agreement, we will design optimized Prime Editor reagents for a select number of targets, including reagents that use our Prime Assisted Site-Specific Integrase Gene Editing (“PASSIGE”) technology. BMS will be responsible for development, manufacturing and commercialization of the ex vivo T-Cell therapeutic products, with support from us in gene editing strategy and reagent development.

We will receive a $55.0 million upfront payment and have received a $55 million equity investment from BMS. We are also eligible to receive more than $3.5 billion in milestones, including up to $185 million in preclinical milestones, up to $1.2 billion in development milestones, and more than $2.1 billion in commercialization milestones, along with royalties on net sales. See Note 9, Significant Agreements, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenues

To date, we have not generated any revenue from product sales and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products for the foreseeable future. Our revenues to date have been generated through research collaboration and license agreements. We recognize revenue over the expected performance period under each agreement. We expect that our revenue for the next several years will be derived primarily from our current collaboration agreements and any additional collaborations that we may enter into in the future. To date, we have not received any royalties under any of our existing collaboration agreements.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the development and research of our immediate target indications and our differentiation target indications. These expenses include:

•personnel-related expenses, including salaries, bonuses, benefits and stock-based compensation for employees engaged in manufacturing, research and development functions;

•expenses incurred in connection with continuing our current research programs and preclinical and clinical development of any product candidates we may identify, including under agreements with third parties, such as consultants and contractors;

•the cost of developing and validating our manufacturing process for use in our preclinical and clinical studies;

•laboratory supplies and research materials;

•facilities, depreciation and other expenses related to research and development activities, which include direct or allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, and utilities;

•the cost allocated to acquire in-process research and development, with no alternative future use associated with asset acquisitions or transactions to license intellectual property, such as our Broad License Agreement; and

•expenses incurred in connection with our Pledge to Broad Institute.

We expense all research and development costs in the periods in which they are incurred. Most of our research and development expenses have been related to early stage development activities. In the future, external research and development costs for any individual product candidate will be tracked commencing upon product candidate nomination. We do not allocate employee costs, costs associated with our discovery efforts, laboratory supplies, and facilities expenses, including depreciation or other indirect costs, to specific product development programs because these costs are deployed across multiple programs and our platform and, as such, are not separately classified.

Upfront and milestone payments made are accrued for and expensed when the achievement of the milestone is probable up to the point of regulatory approval. Milestone payments made upon regulatory approval will be capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the related product.

We expect our research and development expenses to continue to increase substantially for the foreseeable future with our planned research and development activities related to developing any future product candidates, including investments in manufacturing, as we advance any product candidates we may identify and begin to conduct clinical trials, and with our obligations under the BMS Collaboration Agreement.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of salaries and personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, for our personnel in executive, legal, finance and accounting, human resources and other administrative functions. General and administrative expenses also include legal fees relating to patents and

corporate matters; professional fees paid for accounting, auditing, consulting and tax service; insurance costs; office and information technology costs; and facilities, depreciation and other general and administrative expenses, which include direct or allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and utilities.

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we increase our headcount to support research and development activities; increased accounting, legal, insurance, and investor and public relations costs as we continue to operate as a public company; and additional intellectual property-related expenses as we file patent applications to protect innovations arising from our research and development activities.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense), net primarily consists of interest and other income earned on our short-term investments and the change in the fair value of our short-term investment in Beam Therapeutics Inc. (“Beam”), a related party, in connection with the Beam Collaboration Agreement, which is discussed in greater detail in Note 11, License and Collaboration Agreements, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Change in Fair Value of Related Party Short-Term Investment

The change in fair value of related party short-term investment for each of the periods presented is a result of Beam’s stock price movement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we commence the clinical development of our programs and continue our platform development and early-stage research activities. We have not yet commercialized any products and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of products for several years, if at all. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from sales of preferred stock and from our public offerings and through payments from our collaboration partners. As of September 30, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $175.5 million, excluding our restricted cash, or $189.6 million, including restricted cash.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for each of the periods presented:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2024		2023
Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash:
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(139,110)	$	(121,548)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	20,204		(22,574)
Net cash provided by financing activities	195,875		461
Net change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	76,969	$	(143,661)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was driven primarily by the following uses of cash:

•$153.6 million net loss;

•$13.5 million change in accrued settlement payment — related party;

•$9.5 million change in prepaid and other current assets;

•$7.7 million change in accounts payable; and

•$6.0 million change in lease liabilities.

These were offset by:

•$32.3 million of non-cash amounts included in net loss, which primarily consisted of stock-based compensation expense, non-cash lease expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and change in fair value of short-term investment — related party;

•$71.9 million change in deferred revenue from consideration received from BMS in September 2024; and

•$2.0 million change in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was driven primarily by the following uses of cash:

•$132.5 million net loss;

•$9.0 million change in prepaid and other current assets; and

•$8.9 million change in lease liabilities.

These were offset by:

•$22.7 million of non-cash amounts included in net loss, which primarily consisted of change in fair value of short-term investment — related party, non-cash lease expense, and stock-based compensation expense; and

•$6.9 million change in accounts payable.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was driven primarily by the following $25.0 million of maturities of marketable securities, net of purchases, offset by $5.5 million of purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was driven primarily by the following:

•$15.5 million of purchases of marketable securities, net of maturities; and

•$6.9 million of purchases of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was driven primarily by the following:

•$132.1 million of Proceeds from issuances of common stock in the our February 2024 public offering;

•$38.1 million of proceeds from issuance of common stock to BMS in September 2024;

•$18.8 million of proceeds from issuance of pre-funded warrants contemporaneous with our February 2024 public offering; and

•$6.0 million of proceeds received under our agreement with Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Funding Requirements

To date, we have not generated any revenue from product sales. We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete preclinical and clinical development of, receive regulatory approval for, and commercialize a product candidate and we do not know when, or if at all, that will occur. We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we advance the preclinical activities and studies and initiate clinical trials. In addition, if we obtain regulatory approval for any product candidates, we expect to incur significant expenses related to product sales, marketing, and distribution to the extent that such sales, marketing and distribution are not the responsibility of potential collaborators. Further, we have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, costs associated with operating as a public company. The timing and amount of our operating expenditures will depend largely on the factors set out above. For more information, refer to the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the “Risk Factors” section of subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents, and investments, along with the upfront payment of $55.0 million received from BMS in October 2024, will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the first half of 2026. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong,

and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. We expect that we will require additional funding to:

•continue our current research development activities;

•identify product candidates;

•initiate preclinical testing and clinical trials for our future product candidates we identify;

•develop, maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio;

•further develop our Prime Editing platform; and

•hire additional research, clinical and scientific personnel.

If we receive regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution, depending on where we choose to commercialize ourselves.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings, additional collaborations, strategic alliances, and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, ownership interest may be materially diluted, and the terms of such securities could include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a common stockholder. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants that limit our ability to take specified actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, or distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, any future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development or future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with contract organizations and other vendors to assist in the performance of our research and development activities, and other services and products for operating purposes. These contracts generally provide for termination on notice, and therefore are cancellable contracts and not included in the table of contractual obligations and commitments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, except for the minimum lease commitments disclosed in Note 7, Leases, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there were no significant changes to our contractual obligations and commitments described under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities recorded revenues and expenses that are not readily

apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and significant judgements described under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 permits an “emerging growth company” such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected not to “opt out” of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we will adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard and will do so until such time that we either (i) irrevocably elect to “opt out” of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualify as an emerging growth company. As a result of this election, our condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to other public companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. We may choose to early adopt any new or revised accounting standards whenever such early adoption is permitted for private companies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates of our investment portfolio of cash equivalents and investments. As of September 30, 2024, we held cash, cash equivalents, investments, and restricted cash of $189.6 million, which consisted of cash, money market funds, equity securities, and debt securities. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. The fair value of our cash equivalents, consisted of our money market funds, and investments are subject to change as a result of potential changes in market interest rates. Due to the short-term maturities of our cash equivalents and investments and the low risk profile of our investments, an immediate 10 percent change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our cash equivalents or investments.

Effects of Inflation

Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor and research and development costs. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, we may experience some effect in the near future (especially if inflation rates continue to rise) due to an impact on the costs to conduct research and development, labor costs we incur to attract and retain qualified personnel, and other operational costs. Inflationary costs could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to

management, including the principal executive officer (our Chief Executive Officer) and principal financial officer (our Chief Financial Officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

On September 28, 2024 we entered into the BMS Collaboration Agreement. As a result, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, we made modifications to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)), including changes to accounting policies and procedures, operational processes, and documentation practices that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting over the revenue and related accounts as well as disclosures.

Other than the item described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings. While the outcome of any such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, as of September 30, 2024, we were not a party to any litigation or legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are probable to have a material adverse effect on our business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. For a detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties related to our business, please refer to the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Set forth below is information regarding shares of equity securities sold, and options granted, by us during the three months ended September 30, 2024 that were not registered under the Securities Act.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities

In September 2024, we entered into the BMS Purchase Agreement with BMS, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell, and BMS agreed to purchase 11,006,163 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $55.0 million pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof.

The BMS Purchase Agreement includes lock-up restrictions with respect to the common stock purchased. Pursuant to the terms of the BMS Purchase Agreement, BMS has agreed not to, directly or indirectly, sell or transfer any of the shares until September 30, 2027 subject to specified conditions and exceptions. In addition, the Company agreed, among other things, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement covering the resale of the shares and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective on or prior to ninety (90) calendar days after closing.

Use of Proceeds From Registered Securities

In November 2023, we entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM (the “Sales Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) under which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $300.0 million, in a series of one or more at-the-market equity offerings (the “2023 ATM Program”). Jefferies is not required to sell any specific share amounts but acts as our sales agent, using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices. We will pay Jefferies a commission equal to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds we receive from each sale of our shares of common stock. Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, any shares will be sold pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-275321) filed with the SEC on November 3, 2023, including the base prospectus contained therein, as declared effective by the SEC on November 13, 2023. Our common stock will be sold at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, and as a result, prices may vary. As of September 30, 2024, we have not sold any shares of common stock under the 2023 ATM program.

In February 2024, we issued and sold 22,560,001 shares of our common stock, including 3,360,000 shares pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a price to the public of $6.25 per share. Further, in lieu of common stock to certain investors, we sold pre-funded warrants to purchase 3,200,005 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $6.24999 per pre-funded warrant, which represents the per share public offering price of each share of common stock less the $0.00001 per share exercise price for each pre-funded warrant. As a result of the offering, we received approximately $150.9 million in net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering costs of $10.1 million.

ARTICLE III.REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

3.1Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports [***], the Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and the Closing Date (except for the representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date, which shall be made as of such date), to the Purchaser:

(a)Organization and Good Standing. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have been duly organized and are validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization, are duly qualified to do business and are in good standing in each jurisdiction in which their respective ownership or lease of property or the conduct of their respective businesses requires such qualification, and have all power and authority necessary to own or hold their respective properties and to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing or have such power or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any corporation, association or other entity other than the Subsidiaries listed in the SEC Reports.

(b)No Violation or Default. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is (i) in violation of its charter or by-laws or similar organizational documents; (ii) in default, and no event has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default, in the due performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement

or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or to which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject; or (iii) in violation of any law or statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for any such default or violation that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The Company’s execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, but not limited to, the sale and delivery of the Shares) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and no further corporate action is required by the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders in connection therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals (as defined below). Each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and is, or when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application, and as limited by laws general equitable principles.

(d)No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares) do not and will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, give to any others any rights of termination, modification or acceleration of, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property, right or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to, or to the loss of any benefit under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or to which any property, right or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws or similar organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) result in the violation of any law or statute or any judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, except, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) above, for any such conflict, breach, violation, default, Lien, or loss of benefit, that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e)Filings, Consents and Approvals. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents (including the issuance of the Shares), other than (i) the filing with the Commission of one or more Registration Statements in accordance with the requirements hereof, (ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iii) the filing of a Notice of Sale of Securities on Form D with the Commission under Regulation D of the Securities Act, if applicable, (iv) the filing of any requisite notices and/or application(s) to the Principal Trading Market for the issuance and sale of the Shares and the listing of the Shares for trading or quotation, as the case may be, thereon in the time and manner required thereby, (v) the filings required in accordance with Section 4.4 of this Agreement, and (vi) those that have been made or obtained prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Required Approvals”).

(f) Issuance of the Shares. The Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all Liens, other than restrictions on transfer provided for in the Transaction Documents or imposed by applicable securities laws, and shall not be subject to preemptive or similar rights and the holder of the Shares shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. Assuming the accuracy of

the representations and warranties of the Purchaser in this Agreement, the Shares will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

(g)Capitalization. The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company as disclosed in its most recent SEC Report containing such disclosure was accurate in all material respects as of the date indicated in such SEC Report. The Company has not issued any capital stock since the date of its most recently filed SEC Report other than to reflect stock option and warrant exercises that do not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the issued and outstanding capital stock, options and other securities. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and have been issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws. None of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company were issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company. Except for the February 2024 pre-funded warrants as disclosed in the SEC Reports or as provided in any of the Transaction Documents, there are no authorized or outstanding options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase, or equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and other than equity awards subsequently issued pursuant to employee benefit plans. No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents that have not been effectively waived as of the Closing Date. The issuance and sale of the Shares will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchaser) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities.

(h)Stock Options. With respect to the stock options (the “Stock Options”) granted pursuant to the stock-based compensation plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Company Stock Plans”), (i) each Stock Option intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) so qualifies, (ii) each grant of a Stock Option was duly authorized no later than the date on which the grant of such Stock Option was by its terms to be effective by all necessary corporate action, including, as applicable, approval by the Board of Directors (or a duly constituted and authorized committee thereof) and any required stockholder approval by the necessary number of votes or written consents, and the award agreement governing such grant (if any) was duly executed and delivered by each party thereto, (iii) each such grant was made in accordance with the terms of the Company Stock Plans, the Exchange Act and all other applicable laws and regulatory rules or requirements, including the rules of the Principal Trading Market and any other exchange on which Company securities are traded, and (iv) each such grant was properly accounted for in accordance with GAAP in the financial statements (including the related notes) of the Company. The Company has not knowingly granted, and there is no and has been no policy or practice of the Company of granting, Stock Options prior to, or otherwise coordinating the grant of Stock Options with, the release or other public announcement of material information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries or their results of operations or prospects.

(i)SEC Reports. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof during the one year preceding the date of this Agreement on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such items prior to the expiration of any such extension, except where the failure to file on a timely basis would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (including, for this purpose only, any failure which would prevent the Purchaser from using Rule 144 to resell any Shares). As of their respective filing dates, or to the extent corrected by a subsequent restatement, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company has never been an issuer subject to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act. To the Company’s knowledge, none of the SEC Reports are the subject of an ongoing SEC review.

On or before 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second (2nd) Trading Day immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission describing the terms of the Transaction Documents (and such Current Report on Form 8-K or subsequent report on Form 10-Q shall include as exhibits the material Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement)). Notwithstanding the

foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser, or include the name of the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser in any press release or filing with the Commission (other than the Registration Statement) or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, except (i) as required by federal securities law in connection with (A) any registration statement contemplated by Section 4.13 hereto and (B) the filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto) with the Commission and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, request of the Staff of the Commission or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchaser with prior written notice of such disclosure permitted under this subclause (ii). From and after the issuance of the Press Release, no Purchaser shall be in possession of any material, non-public information received from the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, that is not disclosed in the Press Release unless the Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information.

4.5Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that the Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that the Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, in either case solely by virtue of receiving Shares under the Transaction Documents or under any other written agreement between the Company and the Purchaser; provided, however, that no the Purchaser does not own any equity in the Company prior to its purchase of the Shares hereunder.

4.6Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including this Agreement, or as expressly required by any applicable securities law, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide the Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information regarding the Company that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information without the express written consent of the Purchaser, unless prior thereto the Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

4.7Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares hereunder for working capital and general corporate purposes.

4.8Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Company will indemnify and hold the Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any the Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser in any capacity, or any of its Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of the Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of the Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings the Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by the Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). Promptly after receipt by any Person (the “Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 4.8, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of

counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such proceeding; or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

4.9Principal Trading Market Listing. In the time and manner required by the Principal Trading Market, the Company shall prepare and file with such Principal Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering all of the Shares and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all steps necessary to cause all of the Shares to be approved for listing on the Principal Trading Market as promptly as possible thereafter.

4.10Form D; Blue Sky. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Shares as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon the written request of the Purchaser. The Company, on or before the Closing Date, shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Shares for sale to the Purchaser under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification) and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon the written request of the Purchaser.

4.11Delivery of Shares After Closing. The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, evidence of book entry registration representing the respective Shares purchased by the Purchaser to the Purchaser within three (3) Trading Days of the Closing Date.

4.12Short Sales and Confidentiality After The Date Hereof. The Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Trading Affiliates not to, engage, directly or indirectly, in any transactions in the Company’s securities (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) during the period from the date hereof until the earlier of such time as (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced as required by and described in Section 4.4 or (ii) this Agreement is terminated in full pursuant to Section 6.17. The Purchaser covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company as described in Section 4.4, the Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents and Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in Short Sales in the securities of the Company after the expiration of the lock-up period pursuant to Section 4.16; provided, however, the Purchaser agrees that it will not enter into any Net Short Sales (as hereinafter defined) from the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the earliest of (x) the Effective Registration Date of the initial Registration Statement, (y) the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date or (z) the date that the Purchaser no longer holds any Shares, but in no event earlier than the expiration of the lock-up period pursuant to Section 4.16. For purposes of this Section 4.12, a “Net Short Sale” by the Purchaser shall mean a sale of Common Stock by the Purchaser that is marked as a short sale and that is made at a time when there is no equivalent offsetting long position in Common Stock held by the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Purchaser is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Purchaser's assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Purchaser's assets, the representation set forth above shall apply only with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio

manager that have knowledge about the financing transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Moreover, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Purchaser has sold Shares pursuant to Rule 144 prior to the Effective Registration Date of the initial Registration Statement and the Company has failed to deliver certificates without legends prior to the settlement date for such sale (assuming that such certificates meet the requirements set forth in Section 4.1(c) for the removal of legends), the provisions of this Section 4.12 shall not prohibit the Purchaser from entering into Net Short Sales for the purpose of delivering shares of Common Stock in settlement of such sale. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Commission currently takes the position that covering a short position established prior to effectiveness of a resale registration statement with shares included in such registration statement would be a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act, as set forth in Item 65, Section 5 under Section A, of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997, compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance.

4.13Registration Procedures and Expenses.

(a)Registration Statement. The Company shall promptly following the Closing Date but not later than ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”), relating to and providing for the resale of the Shares and shall cover, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to such Shares) by the Purchaser on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act; provided, that the Purchaser has completed a form of questionnaire (or provided to the Company such information as required to be included in such Registration Statement, in lieu of a questionnaire) as requested by the Company at least five (5) days prior to the Filing Deadline and have provided any other information regarding the holder and the distribution of the Shares as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request for inclusion in a Registration Statement pursuant to applicable law. If Form S-3 is not available for use by the Company, then the Company shall utilize a Registration Statement on Form S-1.

(b)Effectiveness Deadline. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Commission to declare a Registration Statement covering the Shares effective as soon as practicable after the date of the filing thereof (the “Effective Registration Date”) and in any event not later than the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days after the date on which the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) indicates via email or telephone that it will not review or has no further comments on the Registration Statement, or (ii) the ninetieth (90th) day after the Closing Date (or the one hundred twentieth (120th) day if the Commission reviews such Registration Statement) (such date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”).

(c)The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective until the earliest of (i) the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Registration Date of the Registration Statement, (ii) such time as all of the Shares purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, or (iii) such time as the Shares become eligible for resale by non-affiliates without any volume limitations or other restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Rule 144(i)(2)) or any other rule of similar effect (the “Effectiveness Period”).

(d)If either: (i) the Registration Statement is (A) not filed with the Commission on or before the Filing Deadline in violation of Section 4.13(a) (a “Filing Failure”), or (B) if filed but not declared effective by the Commission on or before the Effectiveness Deadline (an “Effectiveness Failure”), or (ii) on any day during the Effectiveness Period and after the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective, sales of all of the Shares required to be included on such Registration Statement cannot be made (other than during a Blackout Period) pursuant to such Registration Statement (including because of a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement or to register a sufficient number of Shares as required by this Agreement) or (iii) after the Filing Deadline, and only in the event a Registration Statement is not effective or available to sell the Shares, the Company fails to file with

the Commission any required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act such that it is not in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1), as a result of which the Purchaser, who is not an affiliate of the Company, is unable to sell Shares without restriction under Rule 144 (a “Maintenance Failure”), then, in satisfaction of the damages to the Purchaser by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Shares, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser then holding Shares relating to such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to 1.0% of the Purchase Price for the Shares then held by the Purchaser on each of the following dates (as applicable): (x) on every thirtieth (30th) day (prorated for periods totaling less than 30 days) following such Filing Failure until such Filing Failure is cured; (y) on every thirtieth (30th) day (prorated for periods totaling less than 30 days) following such Effectiveness Failure until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; and (z) on every thirtieth (30th) day (prorated for periods totaling less than 30 days) following such Maintenance Failure until such Maintenance Failure is cured. The payments to which the Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.13(d) are referred to herein as “Registration Delay Payments”; provided that no Registration Delay Payments shall be required following the termination of the Effectiveness Period, and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate Registration Delay Payments accruing under this Section 4.13(d) exceed 6% of the Purchase Price for the Shares then held by the Purchaser (i.e., corresponding to a total delay of six months). The Registration Delay Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the last day of the calendar month during which such Registration Delay Payments are incurred and (II) the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured. The Filing Deadline and Effectiveness Deadline for a Registration Statement shall be extended without default or damages hereunder in the event that the Company’s failure to file or obtain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on a timely basis results from the failure of the Purchaser to timely provide the Company with information requested by the Company and necessary to complete the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act. For the sake of clarity, at such time as Shares become eligible for resale without any volume limitations or other restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) and Rule 144(i)(2) under the Securities Act.

(e)Related Obligations. At such time as the Company is obligated to file the Registration Statement with the Commission pursuant to Section 4.13(a), the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Shares in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

(i)The Company shall submit to the Commission, within three (3) Business Days after the Company learns that no review of the Registration Statement will be made by the Staff or that the Staff has no further comments on the Registration Statement, as the case may be, a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such request, subject to the approval of the Staff. The Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times with respect to the Purchaser’s Shares until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period. The Company shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 6, in the event the Commission informs the Company that all of the Shares cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (A) inform each of the holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (B) withdraw the Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), in either case covering the maximum number of Shares permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Shares as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Shares in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of liquidated damages in Section 4.13(d), if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Shares permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Shares), unless otherwise

directed in writing by the Purchaser as to its Shares, the number of Shares to be registered on such Registration Statement will first be reduced by Shares not acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (whether pursuant to registration rights or otherwise) and second by Shares (applied, in the case that some Shares may be registered, to the Purchaser on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Shares held by the Purchaser, subject to a determination by the Commission that the Purchaser must be reduced first based on the number of Shares held by the Purchaser). In the event the Company amends the Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (A) or (B) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of Shares in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Shares that were not registered for resale on the Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement (the “Remainder Registration Statements”).

(ii)The Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission. The Company shall also promptly notify the Purchaser in writing (A) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information that relates to the Purchaser, and (B) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement would be appropriate (provided that in no event shall such notice in (A) or (B) contain any material, nonpublic information).

(iii)The Company shall promptly inform the Purchaser of the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Purchaser of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

(iv)Neither the Company nor any affiliate thereof shall identify the Purchaser as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the Commission or any applicable Trading Market without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law, request of the Staff of the Commission or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchaser with prior written notice of such disclosure and the Purchaser will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement.

(f)Blackout Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, the Company may, upon written notice to the Purchaser, which notice shall not contain any information that is or the Company reasonably believes is material non-public information, for a reasonable period of time after effectiveness, not to exceed 30 days (each, a “Blackout Period”), delay the filing of an amendment to a Registration Statement or suspend the effectiveness or use of any Registration Statement, in the event that (i) negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event, the Board of Directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, or (ii) an event occurs that makes any statement of a material fact made in such Registration Statement, including any document incorporated by reference therein, untrue or that requires the making of any additions or changes in the Registration Statement in order to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that any Blackout Period shall terminate upon the earlier of (A) the expiration of such 30-day period or (B) the completion, resolution or public announcement of the relevant

transaction or event. If the Company suspends the effectiveness of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 4.13(f), the Company shall (x) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the termination of the circumstance which entitled the Company to do so, take such actions as may be necessary to reinstate the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and give written notice to the Purchaser authorizing the Purchaser to resume offerings and sales pursuant to such Registration Statement, and (y) cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in connection with any sale of Shares with respect to which the Purchaser has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the applicable Registration Statement (unless an exemption from such prospectus delivery requirement exists), prior to the Purchaser’s receipt of the notice of a Blackout Period and for which the Purchaser has not yet settled. If, as a result thereof, the prospectus included in such Registration Statement has been amended or supplemented to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Company shall enclose such revised prospectus with the notice to Purchaser given pursuant to this Section 4. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its rights under this Section 4.13(f) not more than once in any six (6) month period; provided, however, that the aggregate number of days of all Blackout Periods hereunder shall not exceed 60 days in any twelve (12) month period. After the expiration of any Blackout Period and without further request from the Purchaser, the Company shall effect the filing (or if required amendment or supplement) of the Registration Statement, or the filing of other documents, as necessary to allow the Purchaser to resell the Shares as set forth herein.

(g)Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section 4.13 and the registration of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, other than fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisers to the Purchaser or underwriting discounts, brokerage fees and commissions incurred by the Purchaser, if any in connection with the offering of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(h)Timely Filing. In order to enable the Purchaser to sell the Shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, for so long as the Purchaser holds Shares, (i) the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the requirements of Rule 144, including the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1) with respect to public information about the Company, and (ii) the Company covenants to timely file all reports required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

(i)The Company shall provide the Purchaser an opportunity to review and comment on all disclosures regarding the Purchaser and any plan of distribution proposed by them in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement.

4.14Restrictions on Transfer. The Purchaser agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act or pursuant to any applicable state securities laws, unless and until (a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement or (b) such disposition is otherwise permitted by law, including pursuant to the exemption from registration set forth in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

4.15Indemnification. For the purpose of this Section 4.15: (i) the term “Purchaser/Affiliate” shall mean any Affiliate of and investment adviser to the Purchaser, and the members, the directors, officers, partners, employees, members, managers, agents, representatives and advisors of the Purchaser and each Person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act; and (ii) the term “Registration Statement” shall include any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus (the “Prospectus”), free writing prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to, and any document incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement referred to in Section 4.13.

(a)The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each Purchaser/Affiliate, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, that the Purchaser or Purchaser/Affiliate incurs, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected

with the written consent of the Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus, financial statements and schedules, and all other documents filed as a part thereof, as amended at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, including any information deemed to be a part thereof as of the time of effectiveness pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 430A, or pursuant to Rules 430B, 430C or 434, or the Prospectus, in the form first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), or filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness if no Rule 424(b) filing is required or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of them a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made or (ii) arise out of or are based in whole or in part on any inaccuracy in the representations or warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, breach of any covenant of the Company contained in this Agreement or any failure of the Company to perform its other obligations hereunder or under law, and will promptly reimburse the Purchaser and each Purchaser/Affiliate for any legal and other out-of-pocket expenses as such expenses are reasonably incurred and documented by the Purchaser or the Purchaser/Affiliate in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable for amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (A) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any Purchaser/Affiliate expressly for use therein, or (B) the Purchaser’s failure to send or give a copy of the Prospectus or supplement (as then amended or supplemented), if required (and not exempted) to the Persons asserting an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or (C) the use by the Purchaser of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified the Purchaser in writing that such Prospectus is outdated or defective. The such indemnified Purchaser shall return all payments made hereunder if it is determined, by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court or arbitral tribunal, that the losses for which such payments were made resulted from such indemnified Purchaser’s or any Purchaser/Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b)The Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, agents, and employees and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses that the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person incurs, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, but only if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Purchaser) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 6.14 hereof respecting the sale of the Shares or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any Purchaser/Affiliate expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any

such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that (A) the Purchaser’s aggregate liability under this Section 4.15 shall not exceed the amount of net proceeds received by the Purchaser on the sale of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement and (B) the Purchaser will not be liable for amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the written consent of the Purchaser which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4.15 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 4.15 promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.15 to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party, and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, that there may be a conflict of interest between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 4.15 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to such indemnifying party, representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. In no event shall any indemnifying party be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying party shall have approved in writing the terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(d)If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.15 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 4.15 in respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Purchaser from the private placement of Shares hereunder or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but the relative fault of the Company and the Purchaser in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement and/or the Registration Statement that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the amount paid by the Purchaser to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for the Shares purchased by the Purchaser that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement bears to the difference (the

“Difference”) between the amount the Purchaser paid for the Shares that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and the amount received by the Purchaser from such sale. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 4.15, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 4.15 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph (d); provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (c) for purposes of indemnification. The Company and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.15 were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchaser were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.15, the Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that the Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

4.16Lock-Up.

(a)The Purchaser agrees that, for a period (the “Lock-Up Period”) until the first to occur of either (i) [***], or (ii) the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date (as defined in the Collaboration Agreement), the Purchaser will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, (1) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of the Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Common Stock (including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock or any such securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Purchaser in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act, as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time (such shares or securities, the “Beneficially Owned Shares”)); (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Beneficially Owned Shares, Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for the Common Stock, regardless of whether any such transaction described herein is to be settled by delivery of the Common Stock or such other securities, or by delivery of cash or otherwise; (3) make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of the Beneficially Owned Shares, Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable of exchangeable for the Common Stock; or (4) publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in clause (1) and (2) herein shall not apply to (a) transfers (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Purchaser, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (iii) with the prior written consent of the Company, (iv) pursuant to any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer or similar transaction involving the Company or the Common Stock or (b) the acquisition or exercise of an option or warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock (or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock), including the sale of a portion of stock to be issued in connection with such exercise to finance a “cashless” exercise, provided that any such shares issued upon exercise of such option or warrant (or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock) shall continue to be subject to the applicable provisions of this Section 4.16. None of the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.16 shall apply to Common Stock acquired in open market transactions. In addition, the Purchaser may distribute the Common Stock or Beneficially Owned Shares to its stockholders; provided, however, that in each such case, prior to any such transfer, each transferee shall agree to the terms of this Section 4.16 in a

form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, pursuant to which each transferee shall agree to receive and hold such Common Stock or Beneficially Owned Shares subject to the provisions hereof, and there shall be no further transfer except in accordance with the provisions hereof.

The foregoing restrictions are expressly agreed to preclude the Purchaser from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Beneficially Owned Shares or Common Stock even if such Beneficially Owned Shares or Common Stock would be disposed of by someone other than the Purchaser. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put option or put equivalent position or call option or call equivalent position) with respect to any of the Beneficially Owned Shares or Common Stock or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Beneficially Owned Shares or Common Stock.

4.17Reserved.

4.18Standstill. The Purchaser hereby agrees that, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company, during the Lock-Up Period, the Purchaser will not and will cause its Purchaser/Affiliates and other representatives acting on its behalf or at its direction, not to, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent, invitation or authorization by the Company:

(a)propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Company’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Company or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Company;

(b)(i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (or any instrument that provides the economic equivalent of ownership of an amount of voting securities of the Company (a “Derivative”)) (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Company’s capital stock or a majority of its consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including a Derivative) of the Company or become a “participant” (as such term is defined in Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) in any such solicitation of proxies or consents (including, without limitation, by initiating, encouraging or participating in any “withhold” or similar campaign), (iii) propose the nomination or removal of, or recommend the nomination or removal of, any person as a director of the Company, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the shareholders of the Company;

(c)form, join, or in any way participate in, act in concert with, any third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the SEC) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including a Derivative) of the Company or a Business Combination involving the Company;

(d)institute, solicit, assist or join any litigation, arbitration or other proceeding against or involving the Company or any of its current or former directors, trustees or officers (including derivative actions) in order to effect or take any of the actions expressly prohibited by this Section 4.18;

(e)publicly, or in any manner that would reasonably be expected to require the Company to make a public announcement, request the Company (or any of its representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this Section 4.18 (including this sentence); or

(f)take any action that might reasonably be expected to require the Company to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination.

6.2Entire Agreement.

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

6.5Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

6.6Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by the Company without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. The Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder in whole or in part to any Person to whom the Purchaser assigns or transfers any Shares in compliance with the Transaction Documents and applicable law, provided such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Shares, by the terms and conditions of this Agreement that apply to the “Purchaser”.

6.7No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except each Purchaser Party is an intended third party beneficiary of Section 4.8.

6.8Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the New York Courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such New York Court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

6.9Survival. Subject to applicable statute of limitations, the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein, including for the avoidance of doubt Section 4.16, shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Shares.

6.10Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

6.11Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

6.12Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever the Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

6.13Replacement of Shares. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Transfer Agent for any losses in connection therewith or, if required by the Transfer Agent, a bond in such form and amount as is required by the Transfer Agent. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is requested

due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.

6.14Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchaser and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any action for a temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

6.15Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

6.16Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares or a price per share shall be deemed to be amended to appropriately account for such event.

6.17Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the sale and purchase of the Shares abandoned at any time prior to the Closing by either the Company or the Purchaser upon written notice to the other, if the Closing has not been consummated on or prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.17 shall not be available to any Person whose failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such time. Nothing in this Section 6.17 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Upon a termination in accordance with this Section 6.17, the Company and the terminating Purchaser shall not have any further obligation or liability (including arising from such termination) to the other.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if the paying Party takes any action of its own discretion that is not required by the terms of this Agreement or a Regulatory Authority, including any assignment, sublicense, change of place of incorporation, or failure to comply with Applicable Laws or filing or record retention requirements, and such action results in an additional or increased

withholding obligation with respect to payments to be made by the paying Party pursuant to this Agreement (“Withholding Tax Action”), then the paying Party shall true up payments owed to the receiving Party such that the paying Party bears the amount of the additional or increased withholding obligation attributable to such Withholding Tax Action; provided that the foregoing requirement that the paying Party increases the sum payable upon any additional or increased withholding under this Section 6.14.1 will not apply: (x) to the extent that such additional or increased withholding would not have been imposed but for any action of the receiving Party of its own discretion that is not required by the terms of this Agreement or a Regulatory Authority, including any assignment, sublicense, change of place of incorporation, or failure to comply with Applicable Laws or filing or record retention requirements or (y) to the extent that such additional or increased withholding would not have been imposed but for the receiving Party failing to provide to the paying Party at the time or times reasonably requested by the paying Party or as required by Applicable Law, (i) in the case of a U.S.-related withholding, a properly completed and duly executed U.S. nonresident withholding tax certificate (e.g., form of W-8BEN) establishing treaty (or other) exemption for such deduction or withholding that the receiving Party is legally entitled to claim (determined in the receiving Party’s reasonable discretion), or (ii) in the case of any other jurisdiction, equivalent documentation establishing treaty (or other) exemption for such deduction or withholding that the receiving Party is legally entitled to claim (determined in the receiving Party’s reasonable discretion), in either case ((i) or (ii)), together with withholding certificates or withholding statements, as appropriate (or any other form reasonably requested by the paying Party). The paying Party agrees to cooperate with the receiving Party in claiming refunds or exemptions from, or reductions in, such deductions or withholdings under any Applicable Law or treaty to ensure that any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to this Section 6.14 are reduced to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. In addition, the Parties shall cooperate to minimize indirect taxes (such as value added tax, sales tax, consumption tax and other similar taxes) in connection with this Agreement, as applicable.

6.14.2Tax Documentation. Each Party has provided a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9 or applicable Form W-8 to the other Party. Each Party shall provide to the other Party, at the time or times reasonably requested by such other Party, or as required by Applicable Law, such properly completed and duly executed documentation (for example, IRS Forms W-8 or W-9) as will permit payments made under this Agreement to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding for taxes, to the extent consistent with Applicable Law, and the applicable payment shall be made without (or at a reduced rate of) withholding to the extent permitted by such documentation, as reasonably determined by BMS. The Parties agree that either Party is permitted to submit and disclose this Agreement to governmental or tax authorities for the purposes of applying for certificates that would exempt such Party from withholding tax.

6.15No Limitation. Nothing contained in this Article 6, including, for clarity, reference to payments being “non-refundable” or “non-creditable”, shall in any way limit either Party’s right to indemnification under this Agreement or to otherwise recover damages for breach of this Agreement.

BMS and its Affiliates and its and their Sublicensees may disclose and use Confidential Information of Prime as may be necessary or useful in connection with the Exploitation of the Licensed Products (including in connection with any filing, application, or request for Regulatory Approval by or on behalf of BMS or any of its Affiliates or its or their Sublicensees) or otherwise in connection with the performance of its obligations or exercise of BMS’s rights as contemplated by this Agreement, including disclosure of such Confidential Information for such purposes on a need-to-know basis to existing or potential Distributors, Sublicensees, collaboration partners, acquirers, or transferees; provided that any such Distributors, Sublicensees, collaboration partners, acquirers, or transferees shall be bound in writing to confidentiality and non-use obligations with respect to such Confidential Information of Prime under terms no less protective than those set forth in this Article 7.

7.6Publicity. The Parties have agreed upon the content of one (1) press release, which shall be issued substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 7.6 on such date and time as may be agreed by the Parties. Neither Party shall issue any other public announcement, press release, or other public disclosure regarding this Agreement or its subject matter without the other Party’s prior written consent, except for any such disclosure that is, in the opinion of the disclosing Party’s counsel, required by Applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the securities of the disclosing Party (or, if applicable, its parent) are listed (or to which an application for listing has been submitted). In the event a Party is, in the opinion of its counsel, required by Applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which its (or, if applicable, its parent’s) securities are listed (or to which an application for listing has been submitted) to make such a public disclosure, such Party shall submit the proposed disclosure in writing to the other Party as far in advance as reasonably practicable (and in no event less than [***] prior to the anticipated date of disclosure) so as to provide a reasonable opportunity for the other Party to comment thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BMS and its Affiliates and its and their Sublicensees shall have the right to publicly disclose research, Development and Commercialization information (including with respect to regulatory matters) regarding any Licensed Products; provided that such disclosure is subject to the provisions of this Article 7 with respect to Prime’s Confidential Information. For clarity, with respect to each Clinical Trial for a Licensed Product conducted in connection with activities under this Agreement, BMS (and its Affiliates and designees) shall have the right to publish registry information for such Clinical Trial and summaries of data and results from such Clinical Trial on its clinical trials registry or on a government-sponsored database such as www.clinicaltrials.gov, without Prime’s consent, and Prime shall reasonably cooperate if required or reasonably requested by BMS in order to facilitate any such publication by BMS (or its Affiliates or designees). Neither Party shall be required to seek the permission of the other Party to disclose any information regarding the terms of this Agreement or any amendment hereto that has already been publicly disclosed by either Party in accordance with this Section 7.6; provided that such information remains accurate as of such time and the frequency and form of such disclosure are reasonable.

7.7Publications. BMS, its Affiliates and applicable Sublicensees shall be free to make publications and presentations with respect to any Licensed Reagent (to the extent related to a Product Target or Licensed Product), Product Target, or Licensed Product, subject to [***]. Accordingly, prior to making any publication or presentation of [***] (the “Disclosed Material”). [***].

7.8Use of Name. Except as expressly provided herein, neither Party shall mention or otherwise use the name, logo, or Trademarks of the other Party or any of its Affiliates (or any abbreviation or adaptation thereof) in any publication, press release, marketing and promotional material, or other form of publicity without the prior written approval of such other Party in each instance; provided that the use of Prime’s or any of its Affiliate’s name, logo, or Trademark to identify Prime as the developer of the Licensed Reagents shall not be subject to Prime’s prior written approval. The restrictions imposed by this Section 7.8 shall not prohibit either Party from making any disclosure identifying the other Party (a) to the extent required in connection with its exercise of its rights or

obligations under this Agreement or (b) that is required by Applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the securities of the disclosing Party (or, if applicable, a parent of such Party) are listed (or to which an application for listing has been submitted).

Article 8.INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

8.1Ownership of Intellectual Property.

8.1.1General. Subject to Section 8.1.2, (a) Prime shall own and retain all right, title, and interest in and to any and all Know-How first conceived, discovered, developed, or otherwise made solely by or on behalf of Prime or its Affiliates under or in connection with this Agreement, and any and all Patents and other intellectual property rights with respect thereto, (b) BMS shall own and retain all right, title, and interest in and to any and all Know-How first conceived, discovered, developed, or otherwise made solely by or on behalf of BMS or its Affiliates under or in connection with this Agreement, and any and all Patents and other intellectual property rights with respect thereto, and (c) the Parties shall each own and retain an equal, undivided interest in all right, title, and interest in and to any and all Know-How first conceived, discovered, developed, or otherwise made jointly by or on behalf of BMS or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and by Prime or its Affiliates, on the other hand, under or in connection with this Agreement other than BMS Materials/Target Know-How or Prime Platform Improvement Know-How (“Joint Know-How”) and any and all Patents other than BMS Materials/Target Patents or Prime Platform Improvement Patents (“Joint Patents”), and other intellectual property rights with respect to the Joint Know-How other than BMS Materials/Target IP or Prime Platform Improvement IP (collectively, together with the Joint Know-How and Joint Patents, “Joint IP”). Each Party shall promptly disclose to the other Party in writing and shall cause its Affiliates to so disclose, the discovery, generation, creation, or conception of any Joint IP. Subject to the licenses granted under Section 4.1, each Party’s confidentiality obligations under Article 7, and, in the case of Prime, its exclusivity obligations under Section 4.6, each Party shall have the right to Exploit the Joint IP without a duty of seeking consent or accounting to the other Party. For clarity, for the purpose of Article 8, neither Party or its Affiliates, or its or their (sub)licensees/Sublicensees, shall be considered a (sub)licensee (or, with respect to BMS, a Sublicensee) of the other Party or its Affiliates.

8.1.2Exceptions.

(a)BMS Materials/Target IP. Notwithstanding Section 8.1.1, subject to the license grants and other rights herein, as between the Parties, BMS shall exclusively own all right, title, and interest in and to any and all BMS Materials/Target IP, regardless of which Party or any of its Affiliates or (sub)licensees/Sublicensees conceived, discovered, developed, or otherwise made such BMS Materials/Target IP or whether such BMS Materials/Target IP was jointly conceived, discovered, developed, or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Parties or their Affiliates or (sub)licensees/Sublicensees. Prime shall, and does hereby assign, and shall cause its Affiliates and (sub)licensees to so assign, all right, title, and interest in any and all BMS Materials/Target IP, including all BMS Target IP, to BMS. For clarity, with respect to a Select BMS Proprietary Reagent Target, the foregoing assignment shall only apply with respect to the Select BMS Use, not to the general application of such Select BMS Proprietary Reagent Target.

(b)Prime Platform Improvement IP. Notwithstanding Section 8.1.1, subject to the license grants and other rights herein, as between the Parties, Prime shall exclusively own all right, title, and interest in and to any and all Prime Platform Improvement IP, regardless of which Party or any of its Affiliates or (sub)licensees/Sublicensees conceived, discovered, developed, or otherwise made such Prime Platform Improvement IP or whether such Prime Platform Improvement IP was jointly conceived, discovered, developed, or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Parties or their Affiliates or (sub)licensees/Sublicensees. BMS shall, and does hereby assign, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to so assign, all right, title, and interest in any and all Prime Platform Improvement IP to Prime.

8.1.3United States Law. The determination of whether Know-How are first conceived, discovered, developed, or otherwise made by a Party for the purpose of allocating proprietary rights (including Patent, copyright, or other intellectual property rights) therein, shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be made in

accordance with the United States patent law and other Applicable Law in the United States without regard to conflict of law, irrespective of where or when such conception, discovery, development, or making occurs. In the case of unpatentable Know-How, inventorship will be determined under such U.S. patent law principles by treating such Know-How as if it were patentable. If United States law otherwise would not apply to the conception, discovery, development, or making of any Know-How hereunder, each Party shall, and does hereby, assign, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their licensees and sublicensees/Sublicensees to so assign, to the other Party, without additional compensation, such right, title, and interest in and to any Know-How as well as any intellectual property rights with respect thereto, as is necessary to fully effect, as applicable, (a) the sole ownership provided for in Section 8.1.1 and Section 8.1.2 and (b) the joint ownership provided for in Section 8.1.1.

8.1.4Cooperation; Assignment. Each Party shall cooperate with the other Party to effect the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.1, including by executing such documents as such other Party may reasonably request. Each Party shall cause all Persons who perform any activities for such Party under the Research Program or who conceive, discover, develop, or otherwise make any Know-How by or on behalf of such Party or its Affiliates or its or their (sub)licensees under or in connection with the Research Program to be under an obligation to assign (or, if such Party is unable to cause such Person to agree to such assignment obligation despite such Party’s using commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate such assignment obligation, provide an exclusive sublicensable license under) their rights in any Know-How resulting therefrom to such Party, except where Applicable Law requires otherwise and except in the case of governmental, not-for-profit, and public institutions that have standard policies against such an assignment (in which case a suitable license, or right to obtain such a license, shall be obtained).

8.1.5Control. During the Term, Prime shall not enter into or amend any agreement with a Third Party, or include in any such agreement or amendment any restrictive provisions, with an intent to limit its Control of, or to not Control, any Know-How, Patent, or other intellectual property right that would be subject to the license grants in Section 4.1 in the absence of such agreement, amendment, or restrictive provisions. Further, when entering into any agreement or amendment with a Third Party relating to any Know-How, Patents, or other intellectual property rights that, if Controlled by Prime or its Affiliates, would be subject to the license grants in Section 4.1, Prime shall use good faith efforts to obtain Control of such Know-How, Patents, and other intellectual property rights.

8.2Patent Working Group.

8.2.1Formation and Membership. Within [***] after the Effective Date, the Parties shall establish a Working Group to provide a forum for the Parties to review and discuss certain matters related to the Prosecution and Defense and Enforcement of Patents under this Agreement (the “Patent Working Group”).

Without limiting the foregoing, if either Party receives notice or a copy of an application submitted by a Third Party to the FDA for a Biosimilar Product (a “Biosimilar Application”) for which a Licensed Product is a “reference product,” as such term is used in the BPCI Act, whether or not such notice or copy is provided under any Applicable Law, or otherwise becomes aware that such a Biosimilar Application has been submitted to a Regulatory Authority for Regulatory Approval (such as in an instance described in Section 351(1)(9)(C) of the PHSA), such Party shall, within [***], notify the other Party of such communication to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

8.4.2Actions.

(a)Joint Patents. Subject to Section 8.4.2(d), as between the Parties, BMS shall have the first right, but not the obligation to Defend and Enforce the Joint Patents in any and all countries in the Territory (including to control any alleged or threatened assertion of non-infringement, invalidity, or unenforceability of any Joint Patent) at its sole cost and expense and using counsel of its choice. If, as between the Parties, BMS decides not to Defend and Enforce a Joint Patent in a country in the Territory, BMS shall provide reasonable prior written notice to Prime of such intention, and subject to Section 8.4.2(d), Prime shall thereupon have the right, with BMS’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), to assume the control and direction of the Defense and Enforcement of such Joint Patent in such country at its sole cost and expense and using counsel reasonably acceptable to BMS.

(b)BMS Materials/Target Patents. As between the Parties, BMS shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to Defend and Enforce the BMS Materials/Target Patents at its sole cost and expense and using counsel of its choice.

8.4.4Costs and Recoveries. Each Party shall bear and be solely responsible for all costs and expenses that such Party incurs after the Effective Date in connection with Defense and Enforcement under this Section 8.4, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 8.4. If monetary damages or other monetary award are recovered from any action or proceeding under this Section 8.4, such recovery will be allocated as follows:

(a)the recovery shall be first allocated to reimburse the Parties for their costs and expenses in making such recovery (which in the case of the non-controlling Party, shall include only such costs and expenses incurred in connection with any cooperation requested by the controlling Party in accordance with Section 8.4.3); provided that any such amounts shall be allocated pro rata if insufficient to cover the totality of such costs and expenses; and

(b)the controlling Party at the time of settlement, judgment, or other final disposition shall retain any remainder, and in the event BMS is such Party with respect to any Assigned BMS Materials/Target Patent, Reagent Specific Patent, or Joint Patent, the portion of such remainder, to the extent damages are attributed in such settlement, judgment, or disposition to lost sales of Licensed Products, shall be deemed Net Sales and subject to the royalty payments to Prime under Section 6.5; provided that (i) any such remainder shall not be considered for purposes of determining whether any milestones are payable pursuant to Section 6.4.3 and (ii) for purposes of determining the Net Sales thresholds and ceilings set forth in Section 6.5.1, such remainder shall be allocated among the Calendar Years to which such lost sales are attributable (for clarity, without any interest pursuant to Section 6.9).

8.5Defense Against Claims of Infringement of Third Party Patents.

8.5.1If a Third Party commences, or threatens to commence, any proceeding against a Party alleging infringement of such Third Party’s intellectual property by the Exploitation by BMS, its Affiliates, subcontractors, Sublicensees, Distributors, or customers of any Licensed Reagent or Licensed Product (a “Third Party Infringement Claim”), including any defense or counterclaim in connection with an infringement action initiated pursuant to Section 8.4.2, the Party first becoming aware of such alleged infringement shall promptly notify the other Party thereof, through the Patent Working Group or otherwise, in writing along with the related facts in reasonable detail.

8.5.2Without limiting the right of the Party against whom a Third Party Infringement Claim is filed to seek indemnification for such Third Party Infringement Claim covered pursuant to Article 10, unless the Parties otherwise agree, as between the Parties, BMS shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of such Third Party Infringement Claim at, subject to Article 10, its sole cost and expense and using counsel of its choice. If BMS does not wish to defend such Third Party Infringement Claim, or wishes to cease defending such Third Party Infringement Claim, it shall notify Prime of such decision at least [***] before any deadline for any action or filing that is required in order to preserve any rights. Thereafter, Prime shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of such Third Party Infringement Claim in which it or any of its Affiliates is named as an alleged infringing party at, subject to Article 10, its sole cost and expense and using counsel reasonably acceptable to BMS.

Article 10.INDEMNIFICATION

10.1Indemnification by BMS. BMS shall indemnify Prime, its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (the “Prime Indemnitees”) and defend and hold each of them harmless, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) in connection with any and all suits, investigations, claims, or demands of Third Parties (collectively, “Third Party Claims”) arising from or occurring as a result of:

(a)the breach by BMS of this Agreement;

(b)the Exploitation of a Licensed Product by or on behalf of BMS or any of its Affiliates, its or their Sublicensees, or its or their Distributors in the Territory; or

(c)the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any BMS Indemnitee under this Agreement;

except, in each case ((a) – (c)), to the extent such Losses arise from or occur as a result of (x) any matter described in Section 10.2 (whether or not the applicable Third Party Claim was incurred by any BMS Indemnitee) for which Prime would have an obligation to indemnify any BMS Indemnitee or (y) the negligence on the part of any Prime Indemnitee under this Agreement, in either case ((x) or (y)), as to which Losses each Party shall indemnify the BMS Indemnitees or Prime Indemnitees, as applicable, to the extent of its respective liability for such Losses.

10.2Indemnification by Prime. Prime shall indemnify BMS, its Affiliates, its and their Sublicensees and Distributors and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (the “BMS Indemnitees”) and defend and hold each of them harmless, from and against any and all Losses in connection with any and all Third Party Claims arising from or occurring as a result of:

(a)the breach by Prime of this Agreement;

except, in each case ((a) – (d)), to the extent such Losses arise from or occur as a result of (x) any matter described in Section 10.1(a) or Section 10.1(c) (whether or not the applicable Third Party Claim was incurred

by any Prime Indemnitee) for which BMS would have an obligation to indemnify any Prime Indemnitee or (y) the negligence on the part of any BMS Indemnitee under this Agreement, in either case ((x) or (y)), as to which Losses each Party shall indemnify the BMS Indemnitees or Prime Indemnitees, as applicable, to the extent of its respective liability for such Losses.

Notwithstanding Section 10.2(c) above, [***].

10.3Indemnification Procedure.

10.3.1All indemnification claims in respect of a Prime Indemnitee or BMS Indemnitee, as applicable (each, an “Indemnitee”) shall be made solely by Prime or BMS, as applicable (the “Indemnified Party”). The Indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses or discovery of fact upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under this Article 10, but in no event shall the indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time). The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses or Third Party Claims.

10.3.2Control of Defense. Subject to Section 8.4.2 and Section 8.5, at its option, the indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within [***] after the indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party or its Indemnitees in respect of such Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s or its Indemnitees’ claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of such Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party. If the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Indemnitees in connection with the Third Party Claim. If the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 10.3.3, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or any of its Indemnitees in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim unless specifically requested in writing by the indemnifying Party. If it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless the Indemnified Party or its Indemnitees from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and any Losses incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim within [***] after receipt of any invoice therefor from the indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnified Party has the right to control the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.4 or Section 8.5, or enter into an agreement pursuant to Section 8.8, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to control such Third Party Claim, or enter into such agreement, without limiting the indemnifying Party’s responsibility for Losses under Section 10.1 or Section 10.2, as applicable.

10.3.3Right to Participate in Defense. Any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense unless (a) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying Party in writing, (b) the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 10.3.2 (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense), or (c) the interests of the applicable Indemnitee and the indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both parties under Applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles.

10.3.4Settlement. With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that will not result in the applicable Indemnified Party or any of its Indemnitees becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affect the business of the applicable Indemnified Party or any of its Indemnitees in any manner and as to which the indemnifying Party has acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify the applicable Indemnitees hereunder, the indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, if the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 10.3.2, the indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss; provided that it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). If the indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Third Party Claim; provided, further, that the Indemnified Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

10.3.5Cooperation. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party defends or prosecutes any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each of its Indemnitees to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information, and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials, and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party and its Indemnitees of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and making its Indemnitees and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

10.3.6Expenses. Except as provided above, the reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim (including costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.3.5) shall be reimbursed on a [***] basis in arrears by the indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and subject to refund if the indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.

10.4Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR (A) A BREACH BY PRIME OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 4.6, (B) A BREACH BY EITHER PARTY OF ARTICLE 7, OR (C) TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE REQUIRED TO BE PAID TO A THIRD PARTY AS PART OF A CLAIM FOR WHICH A PARTY PROVIDES INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE 10, NEITHER PARTY, NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, (SUB)LICENSEES OR SUBCONTRACTORS, SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOST DATA OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, WHETHER LIABILITY IS ASSERTED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY), INDEMNITY OR CONTRIBUTION, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER THAT PARTY OR ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF THAT PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF, OR OTHERWISE MIGHT HAVE ANTICIPATED THE POSSIBILITY OF, ANY SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE.

10.5Insurance. Each Party shall have and maintain such type and amounts of insurance covering its activities hereunder as is reasonable under the circumstances, including insurance as is: (a) normal and customary in the research-based pharmaceutical industry generally for parties similarly situated; and (b) otherwise required by Applicable Law. Prime shall have and maintain (x) a clinical/product liability insurance with a minimum limit of [***] in the aggregate, (y) any applicable local clinical trial insurance as required by Applicable Law, and (z) a workers’ compensation insurance and any other applicable employers’ liability insurance required by Applicable Law. Each of the foregoing policies of Prime shall be primary to any liability insurance carried by BMS, which BMS insurance shall be excess and non-contributory for claims and losses arising out of the performance of this Agreement. In the case of BMS (but not Prime), some or all of such insurance coverage may be maintained through

a self-insurance plan. Certificates evidencing at least the above-required insurance coverage shall be submitted by each Party within [***] after the Effective Date and prior to each renewal or replacement period and shall bear a certification that the coverage specified therein will not be canceled or terminated without at least [***] prior written notice to the other Party. Such policies shall remain in effect throughout the Term and shall not be canceled without the prior authorization of the other Party. Maintenance of such insurance coverage shall not relieve a Party of any responsibility under this Agreement for damages in excess of insurance limits or otherwise.

Article 11.TERM AND TERMINATION

11.1Term and Expiration. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to this Article 11, shall continue in force and effect on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis until the date of expiration of the last Royalty Term for the applicable Licensed Product in the applicable country. After the expiration of the Royalty Term for a Licensed Product in a country, the grants in Section 4.1 shall become fully-paid, royalty-free, perpetual, and irrevocable for such Licensed Product in such country.

BMS may, in its sole discretion, terminate (a) this Agreement in its entirety at any time during the Term or (b) this Agreement on a country-by-country or Product Target-by-Product Target basis, in each case ((a) and (b)), without cause, by giving Prime [***] prior written notice.

11.3Termination for Breach.

11.3.1If either Party (the “Breaching Party”) materially breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, in addition to any other right and remedy the other Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may have, the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement by providing [***] (the “Notice Period”) prior written notice (the “Termination Notice”) to the Breaching Party and specifying the breach and its claim of right to terminate; provided that (a) subject to Section 4.6.2(e) and Section 4.6.3(e), the termination shall not become effective at the end of the Notice Period if the Breaching Party cures the breach specified in the Termination Notice during the Notice Period (or, with respect to curable breaches other than the breach of an undisputed payment obligation, if such breach cannot be cured within the Notice Period, if the Breaching Party commences actions to cure such breach within the Notice Period and, thereafter diligently continues such actions), (b) with respect to any alleged breach by BMS of its diligence obligations set forth in Section 5.3, Prime shall first provide written notice thereof to BMS and the Parties shall meet within [***] after delivery of such notice to BMS to discuss in good faith such alleged breach, which [***] must expire before Prime may issue any Termination Notice with respect to such alleged breach (for clarity, the Notice Period shall not commence prior to the conclusion of such [***] and the subsequent issuance of a Termination Notice by Prime), and (c) if the Breaching Party initiates a dispute resolution procedure under Section 12.8 during the Notice Period to dispute the existence of the breach for which termination is being sought, or whether such breach has been cured, and is pursuing such procedure in good faith, the cure period set forth in this Section 11.3.1 shall be tolled and the termination shall become effective only if the final resolution of the dispute through such dispute resolution procedure determines that the Breaching Party is in material breach of one (1) or more of its material obligations under this Agreement and such breach remains uncured for [***] after such determination; provided that if the breach cannot be cured within such [***] the termination shall not become effective at the end of such [***] if the Breaching Party commences actions to cure such breach within such [***] and thereafter diligently continues such actions.

11.3.2Notwithstanding Section 11.3.1, if the material breach and failure to cure contemplated by Section 11.3.1 is with respect to BMS’s breach of its diligence obligations set forth in Section 5.3 with respect to one (1) or more (but not all) of the countries in the Territory or with respect to one (1) or more (but not all) Product Targets, Prime shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, but shall have the right to terminate this Agreement solely with respect to the country(ies) or Product Targets to which such breach and failure to cure applies.

11.3.3Each Party acknowledges and agrees that termination pursuant to this Section 11.3 shall be a remedy that may be invoked only in the case where the breach cannot be reasonably remedied by the payment of money damages.

11.4Termination for Material Safety Issue. BMS may terminate this Agreement with respect to a Product Target or a Licensed Product [***] upon written notice to Prime if BMS deems that such termination is necessary to protect the safety, health, or welfare of patients due to the existence of a Material Safety Issue with respect to such Product Target or Licensed Product. For purposes of this Agreement, “Material Safety Issue” shall mean BMS’s good faith belief that there is an unacceptable risk for harm in humans based upon (a) pre-clinical safety data, including data from animal toxicology studies, or (b) the observation of serious adverse events in humans after any Licensed Product Directed to a Product Target, either as a single agent or in combination with another pharmaceutical agent, has been administered to or taken by humans.

11.5Termination for Bankruptcy. If either Party (or, if applicable, a parent of such Party) undergoes an Insolvency Event, the other Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety effective immediately upon written notice to such first Party; provided that in the case of any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, such right to terminate will only become effective if the Party (or, if applicable, the parent of such Party) consents to the involuntary bankruptcy or such proceeding is not dismissed within [***] after the filing thereof.

11.6Consequences of Termination.

11.6.1Generally. In the event of termination of this Agreement with respect to one (1) or more Product Targets (each, a “Terminated Target”) or one (1) or more country(ies) (each, a “Terminated Territory”), except as expressly set forth otherwise in this Agreement (including under the surviving provisions set forth in Section 11.8), the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder, including the license grants to BMS in Section 4.1 with respect to the Terminated Target(s) or the Terminated Territory(ies) (including all sublicenses granted pursuant to Section 4.1.2), shall terminate with respect to such Terminated Target(s) or such Terminated Territory(ies) as of the effective date of such termination; provided that if this Agreement is terminated with respect to one (1) or more Terminated Targets in one (1) or more Terminated Territories but not the entire Territory, the rights and licenses granted to BMS under this Agreement shall automatically be deemed to be amended with respect to the Terminated Targets or the Terminated Territories to be non-exclusive and only to include the right to Develop and Manufacture Licensed Products that are Directed to Terminated Targets in the Terminated Territories solely for the purposes of supporting Regulatory Approval or Commercialization of the Licensed Products that are Directed to Terminated Targets in the surviving countries in the Territory.

11.6.2Inventory. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon termination of this Agreement (in its entirety or with respect to any Terminated Target or Terminated Territory), if BMS (or its Affiliates or its or their Sublicensees) has inventory of usable Licensed Reagents as of the effective date of termination for such Terminated Target, then BMS (and its Affiliates and its and their Sublicensees) may continue to sell such inventory of Licensed Products Manufactured using such Licensed Reagents in the Field in such country(ies) (and fulfill customer orders therefor, including to Manufacture such Licensed Products for customer orders placed prior to the effective date of termination) until the earlier to occur of (a) [***] after the effective date of termination and (b) the date on which BMS (or its Affiliates or its or their Sublicensees) no longer has such inventory of such Licensed Reagents; provided that BMS shall pay Prime any royalties due based on such sales pursuant to Section 6.5.

11.6.3Return of Confidential Information. Each Receiving Party shall return or destroy (at the Disclosing Party’s election) all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party (other than Joint Know-How and the terms of this Agreement) in its possession as of the effective date of termination (but not expiration) of this Agreement; provided that each Receiving Party may retain (a) one (1) copy of such Confidential Information, which may be retained solely by the legal department of the Receiving Party to confirm compliance with the non-use and non-disclosure provisions of this Agreement, (b) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party contained in the Receiving Party’s laboratory notebooks or databases, and (c) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent necessary to exercise any surviving rights or perform any surviving obligations under this

Agreement (including, in the event of a termination of this Agreement with respect to one (1) or more (but not all) Licensed Products, Product Targets, or countries in the Territory, for any surviving Licensed Products, Product Targets, and countries, as applicable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Receiving Party shall not be required to return or destroy any computer files created during automatic system back up that are subsequently stored securely by it and not readily accessible to its employees, consultants, or others who received the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information under this Agreement.

11.6.4Wind Down. If this Agreement is terminated during the Research Term, Prime shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promptly wind down all activities ongoing under the Research Plan.

11.7Modification in Lieu of Termination. If, at any time during the Term, BMS has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.3 for a breach by Prime, then BMS may, as its sole and exclusive remedy for such breach, by written notice to Prime, elect to continue this Agreement as modified by this Section 11.7, in which case, effective as of the date BMS delivers such notice to Prime:

(a)all rights and licenses granted to BMS under Section 4.1 of this Agreement shall survive and shall become perpetual and irrevocable;

(b)BMS’s obligations to pay milestones and royalties under Section 6.4 and Section 6.5.1 shall survive such modification; provided that all such milestones and royalties due on an after the effective date of such modification shall be reduced to [***] of the amount that would otherwise have been payable under this Agreement; and

(c)for clarity, all other rights of BMS under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without change.

11.8Accrued Rights; Survival. If, at any time during the .

11.8.1 Expiration or termination of this Agreement (either in its entirety or with respect to one (1) or more Product Targets or countries in the Territory) shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or termination. [***].

11.8.2Without limiting the foregoing, [***].

11.8.3Without limiting the foregoing, [***].

11.9Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, termination of this Agreement (either in its entirety or with respect to one (1) or more Terminated Targets or Terminated Territory(ies)) in accordance with the provisions hereof shall not limit remedies that may otherwise be available in law or equity.

Article 12.MISCELLANEOUS

12.1Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, other than payment obligations, if such failure or delay is caused by or results from events beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing Party, including fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, embargoes, shortages, epidemics, pandemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), terrorist acts, insurrections, riots, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances (whether involving the workforce of the non-performing Party or of any other Person), acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any Governmental Authority (except to the extent such delay results from the breach by the non-performing Party or any of its Affiliates (or, in the case of BMS, its or their Sublicensees) of any term or condition of this Agreement). The non-performing Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure within [***] after such occurrence by giving written notice to the other Party stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration, and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. The suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration

than is necessary, and the non-performing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform.

12.2Export Control. This Agreement is made subject to any restrictions concerning the export of products or technical information from the United States or other countries that may be imposed on the Parties from time to time. Each Party shall not export, directly or indirectly, any technical information acquired from the other Party under this Agreement or any products using such technical information to a location or in a manner that at the time of export requires an export license or other governmental approval, without first obtaining the written consent to do so from the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

12.3Assignment. Except as provided in Section 3.6.3 and Section 5.4, without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), neither Party shall sell, transfer, assign, delegate, pledge, or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement or any of its rights or duties hereunder; provided that (a) BMS shall have the right, without such consent, to perform any or all of its obligations and exercise any or all of its rights under this Agreement through any of its Affiliates, (b) BMS and, after the end of the Research Term, Prime may assign this Agreement in whole or in part without the other Party’s consent to any of its Affiliates, and (c) either Party may assign this Agreement in its entirety without the other Party’s consent to a successor, whether in a merger, sale of stock, reorganization, sale of all or substantially all of such Party’s assets to which this Agreement relates, or similar transaction.

12.5Severability.

12.8.2Intellectual Property Disputes.

12.8.5Interim Relief.

This Section 12.8.5 shall be specifically enforceable.

Without prejudice to such provisional or interim remedies in aid of arbitration as may be available under the jurisdiction of a competent court, the arbitral tribunal will have full authority to grant provisional or interim remedies and to award damages for the failure of either Party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s order to that effect.

12.9Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, together with the Schedules attached hereto, sets forth and constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all prior agreements, understandings, promises, representations, and warranties, whether written or oral, with respect thereto, including any term sheets entered into between the Parties relating to this Agreement and the Existing NDA, are superseded hereby; provided that any Confidential Information (as such term is defined in the Existing NDA) exchanged between the Parties pursuant to the Existing NDA shall be deemed Confidential Information under this Agreement.

12.11Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions and obligations set forth in Section 4.6, Article 7, and Article 8 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the other Party and that such other Party would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions and that any breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Section or Articles shall result in irreparable injury to such other Party for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Section or Articles, the non-breaching Party shall be authorized and entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief, whether preliminary or permanent, specific performance and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits, and other benefits arising from such breach, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which such non-breaching Party may be entitled in law or equity. Each Party hereby waives any requirement that the other Party (a) post a bond or other security as a condition for obtaining any such relief or (b) show irreparable harm, balancing of harms, consideration of the public interest, or inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy. Nothing in this Section 12.11 is intended or should be construed, to limit either Party’s right to equitable relief or any other remedy for a breach of any other provision of this Agreement.

12.12Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition.

12.15Relationship of the Parties. It is expressly agreed that Prime, on the one hand, and BMS, on the other hand, shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between the Parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture, or agency, including for all tax purposes.

The Broad Institute, Inc.

415 Main Street

Cambridge, MA 02142

Attn: Michael Christiano, Chief Business Officer

Re: License Agreement, by and between The Broad Institute, Inc. and Prime Medicine, Inc., dated September 26, 2019

Dear Michael,

This letter (“Letter”) is entered into as of September 26, 2024 (the “Effective Date”) by and between The Broad Institute, Inc., a non-profit corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and having a principal place of business at 415 Main Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142 (“Broad”) and Prime Medicine, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Delaware and having a principal place of business at 21 Erie Street, Cambridge, MA 02139 (“Company”). Company and Broad are each referred to herein as a “Party” and together, the “Parties.”

Reference is hereby made to that certain License Agreement by and between Broad and Company, dated as of September 26, 2019, as may be amended from time to time (the “Broad-Prime License Agreement”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Broad-Prime License Agreement.

Company has informed Broad that it desires to enter into a Sublicense with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company or one of its affiliates (“BMS” and such agreement, the “BMS Agreement”). The purpose of this Letter is to document the understanding and agreement of the Parties regarding certain obligations of Company and rights of Broad in relation to the BMS Agreement as a Sublicense under the Broad-Prime License Agreement. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is an execution version of the BMS Agreement, that has not yet been signed and entered into as of the Effective Date (the “Unsigned BMS Agreement”). Following the Effective Date of this Letter, Company and BMS will execute and enter into the Unsigned BMS Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, which will thereby become the BMS Agreement.

For good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the Parties, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1.BMS has agreed to pay Company, pursuant to the BMS Agreement, certain running royalties on Net Sales (as defined in the BMS Agreement) by or on behalf of BMS and any of its affiliates and any of its or their sublicensees, in each case, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product (as defined in the BMS Agreement) and country-by-country basis (the “Prime/BMS Royalty”). Notwithstanding anything in the Broad-Prime License Agreement to the contrary and solely with respect to running royalties owed by Company to Broad on Net Sales of Licensed Products (as defined in the BMS Agreement) pursuant to Section 4.5 of the Broad-Prime License Agreement, in lieu of Company owing to Broad and Broad being entitled to receive from Company any such running royalties that accrue based on the Net Sales of Licensed Products (as defined in the BMS Agreement) by or on behalf of BMS or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their sublicensees pursuant to the BMS Agreement, Broad hereby consents to Company paying (and Company shall pay) running royalties, determined on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product (as defined in the BMS Agreement) and country-by-country basis, equal to [***] of the Prime/BMS Royalty

(“Prime/Broad Royalty”) during the Royalty Term (as defined in the BMS Agreement) payable to Company or any of its affiliates under the BMS Agreement within [***] after the first date on which Company is entitled to receive such running royalties from BMS; provided that, the Prime/Broad Royalty is subject to a floor of [***], on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product (as defined in the BMS Agreement) and country-by-country basis, of Net Sales (as defined in the BMS Agreement) by or on behalf of BMS and any of its affiliates and any of its or their sublicenses. Such running royalties shall not be subject to further credit or reduction by operation of the Broad-Prime License Agreement, including Section 4.5 therein, or any language therein.

2.BMS has agreed to pay Company, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product (as defined in the BMS Agreement) basis, certain commercial milestone payments upon the first achievement of each Sales Milestone Event (as defined in the BMS Agreement) by a Licensed Product (as defined in the BMS Agreement) (the “Prime/BMS Commercial Milestones”). Notwithstanding anything in the Broad-Prime License Agreement to the contrary, in lieu of any Milestone Payment owed by Company to Broad pursuant to Section 4.4.1.2 or Section 4.4.2.2 of the Broad-Prime License Agreement with respect to Licensed Products (as defined in the BMS Agreement) commercialized by or on behalf of BMS or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their sublicensees pursuant to the BMS Agreement, Broad hereby consents to Company paying (and Company shall pay to Broad) [***] of each of the Prime/BMS Commercial Milestones payable to Company or any of its affiliates under the BMS Agreement within [***] after the first date on which Company is entitled to receive the applicable Prime/BMS Commercial Milestone. Such payment shall not be subject to further credit or reduction by operation of the Broad-Prime License Agreement, including Section 4.4 therein, or any language therein.

3.Notwithstanding anything in the Broad-Prime License Agreement to the contrary, in lieu of any Milestone Payment owed by Company to Broad pursuant to Section 4.4.1.1 or Section 4.4.2.1 of the Broad-Prime License Agreement with respect to Licensed Products (as defined in the BMS Agreement) developed by or on behalf of BMS or any of its affiliates or any of its or their sublicensees pursuant to the BMS Agreement, Broad hereby consents to Company paying (and Company shall pay to Broad) the Milestone Payments (as defined below) as set forth in the following tables within [***]. after the achievement of the corresponding Milestone Event (as defined and set forth below in this paragraph 3). Such payment shall not be subject to further credit or reduction by operation of the Broad-Prime License Agreement, including Section 4.4 therein, or any language therein. The Milestone Events (as defined below) as set forth in the following tables are intended to be successive; for example, if a Licensed Product is not required to undergo the event associated with a particular Milestone Event (as defined below) (a “Skipped Milestone”) for such Licensed Product, then such Skipped Milestone shall be deemed to have been achieved upon the achievement by such Licensed Product of the next successive Milestone Event (as defined below) (“Achieved Milestone”); provided that the Milestone Events (as defined below) [***].

For each Licensed Product (as defined in the BMS Agreement) that is a Schedule 1 Product:

4.BMS has agreed to pay Company, under the BMS Agreement, a one-time, non-refundable, non-creditable amount of Fifty-Five Million Dollars ($55,000,000) (the “Prime/Broad Upfront Payment”), and BMS has agreed to enter into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which BMS will pay Company an amount equal to Fifty-Five Million Dollars ($55,000,000) (the “Prime/Broad Equity Payment”) in exchange for unregistered (but registerable) common stock of Company. Company and Broad agree that while the Prime/Broad Upfront Payment constitutes Non-Royalty Sublicense Income and the Prime/Broad Equity Payment constitutes consideration received by Company for the Sublicense that will, subject to any applicable exclusions, be included in Non-Royalty Sublicense Income under the Broad-Prime License Agreement, in no event shall such Prime/Broad Upfront Payment or Prime/Broad Equity Payment be subject to the exclusion detailed in Section 1.105.2 of the Broad-Prime License Agreement. For clarity, for purposes of calculating consideration owed by Company to Broad in connection with the Prime/Broad Upfront Payment and Prime/Broad Equity Payment, such consideration shall not exclude any amount or other consideration that would, absent this Letter, be excluded under Section 1.105.2 of the Broad-Prime License Agreement. All other applications of Non-Royalty Sublicense Income remain unchanged and as set forth in the Broad-Prime License Agreement, including the exclusion for proceeds from equity investments to the extent at fair market value as well as Broad’s entitlement to receive Non-Royalty Sublicense Income with respect to any equity investment in Company that is a premium over the fair market value of the security(ies) received for the applicable equity investment.

5.The Broad and Company expect that all products exploited under the BMS Agreement will be Licensed Products (as defined in the BMS Agreement) and that such Licensed Products (as defined in the BMS Agreement) will be Licensed Products or Enabled Products. [***] For clarity and purposes of determining consideration owed under paragraph 3 of this Letter, Schedule 1 Products and Schedule 2 Products shall be applied mutatis mutandis with respect to any product exploited under the BMS Agreement.

6.If Company is required to invoice BMS to be entitled to receive any payment from BMS, then Company shall promptly invoice BMS for the applicable payment.

7.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 2.7.5 or 2.7.13 of the Broad-Prime License Agreement, if (a) pursuant to Section 2.7.3 of the Broad-Prime License Agreement Broad notifies Company of a [***] Proposed Product that [***] and (b) Company reasonably determines that, [***] then the following terms and conditions shall apply:

(a)Company shall [***]

(b)[***]

(c)[***]

(d)[***]

(e)In the event that, pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Broad-Prime License Agreement, Broad notifies Company of a [***] Proposed Product [***] Prime may satisfy its obligations under Section 2.7.6 of the Broad-Prime License Agreement by submitting a Current Development Demonstration to Broad [***] pursuant to the definition of Current Development Demonstration in accordance with Section 2.7.5 of the Broad-Prime License Agreement [***] If Company submits such a Current Development Demonstration to Broad and otherwise complies with its obligations under Section 2.7 of the Broad-Prime License Agreement, Broad shall have no right to grant a [***] License under Section 2.7.11 of the Broad-Prime License Agreement with respect to such [***] Proposed Product.

(f)For purposes of this Letter, [***].

8.Notwithstanding anything in this Letter or the Broad-Prime License Agreement to the contrary, if pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Broad-Prime License Agreement, Broad notifies Company of a [***] Proposed Product that [***], then the submission by Company to Broad of a Current Development Demonstration [***] will not satisfy Company’s obligations under Section 2.7.6 of the Broad-Prime License Agreement with respect to such [***] Proposed Product and Section 2.7 of the Broad-Prime License Agreement shall apply with respect to the applicable [***] Proposed Product.

9.If the BMS Agreement is not executed and entered into within [***] of the Effective Date of this Letter, this Letter shall be null and void. Following entry into the BMS Agreement, Company shall promptly provide to Broad the fully executed copy of the BMS Agreement and a certificate of an officer of Company, certifying that the BMS Agreement is the same as Unsigned BMS Agreement, other than insertion of the signatures and the Effective Date of the BMS Agreement. In the event that the BMS Agreement otherwise deviates from the Unsigned BMS Agreement, this Letter shall be deemed to be null and void, unless such requirement is waived in writing by Broad.

10.Company hereby represents and warrants to Broad as of the Effective Date (for clarity, of this Letter) and as of the “Effective Date” (as defined in the BMS Agreement) that, the BMS Agreement is the only agreement or instrument between BMS or any of its affiliates or any of its

or their sublicensees, on the one hand, and Company or any of its affiliates or any of its or their sublicensees, on the other hand, that grants or agrees to grant BMS or any of its affiliates or any of its or their sublicensees, any license, sublicense, covenant not to sue or assert, or other right, or option to obtain any license, sublicense, covenant not to sue or assert, or other right, to practice any intellectual property rights owned or controlled by Company or any of its Affiliates in connection with the development, manufacture, use, sale or other exploitation of any Licensed Product that is the subject of the BMS Agreement.

11.The Parties acknowledge that any material breach of the Letter by Company shall be deemed a material breach of the Broad-Prime License Agreement, and all rights and remedies available to Broad under this Letter, the Broad-Prime License Agreement, the BMS Agreement, at law and in equity shall be available to Broad, including for clarity, remedies available under Section 5.4 of the Broad-Prime License Agreement.

12.Except as explicitly set forth in this Letter, the Broad-Prime License Agreement remains unchanged, and its terms and conditions and the rights and obligations of each Party thereunder remain in full force and effect, including, for clarity, all rights and obligations of each Party with respect to Non-Royalty Sublicense Income, which remain unmodified except with respect to paragraph 4 hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company remains responsible for ensuring that the terms and conditions of the BMS Agreement are in compliance with, and consistent with, the terms and conditions of the Broad-Prime License Agreement (together with any modifications thereto that are explicitly provided for and detailed in this Letter). Furthermore, Company acknowledges that Broad (a) has not reviewed the BMS Agreement for such compliance and (b) in executing this Letter is not (i) certifying that the BMS Agreement so complies or (ii) waiving, amending, altering or otherwise modifying any of Broad’s rights or Company’s obligations under the Broad-Prime License Agreement, except as explicitly provided for and detailed in this Letter.

13.Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Letter may not be amended, waived or terminated without the written consent of both Broad and Company.

14.Company may not (a) amend, waive, restate or otherwise modify the BMS Agreement in any manner or (b) itself, or permit any of its affiliates to, enter into any agreement or instrument or otherwise execute any transaction with BMS or any of its affiliates, in each case (a) and (b), that adversely affects (i) any consideration payable to Broad in accordance with this Letter or the Broad-Prime License Agreement (other than in an immaterial manner), including without limitation the amount of such consideration to be received, or (ii) Broad’s rights under this Letter or the Broad-Prime License Agreement, in each case, without the prior written consent of Broad.

15.Company represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, it is not entitled to receive any consideration from BMS or any of its affiliates in respect of any activity that Company is permitted or obligated to perform under the Broad-Prime License Agreement, including for the development or commercialization of any Royalty-Bearing Product, other than the consideration set forth in the BMS Agreement. Company further represents, warrants and covenants that the foregoing statement will also be and remain true throughout the Term of the BMS Agreement. To the extent Company or any of its affiliates do receive from BMS or any of its affiliates or its or their sublicensees, pursuant to any agreement or other instrument or transaction entered into prior to, on or after the date hereof, any consideration in respect of the development, manufacture, use, sale or other exploitation of any Licensed Product (as defined in the BMS Agreement) other than the consideration set forth in the BMS Agreement, Company agrees that Broad shall be entitled to (and Company agrees to so pay Broad), in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Broad-Prime License Agreement (without giving effect to any off-set or setoff) by Company and its affiliates, [***] of any consideration that Company or any of its affiliates is entitled to receive;

provided that such consideration shall not be subject to further credit or reduction by operation of the Broad-Prime License Agreement or any language therein.

16.This Letter may only be amended, modified, superseded or canceled, and any of the terms hereof may only be waived, by a written instrument that is executed by each Party.

17.This Letter may not be assigned except in connection with an assignment of the Broad-Prime License Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof and solely with respect to the rights and obligations herein that relate to the Broad-Prime License Agreement.

18.This Letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision.

19.This Letter may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Once signed, any reproduction of this Letter Agreement made by reliable means (e.g., pdf, photocopy, facsimile) shall be considered an original.
