    In addition to the dilution of our current stockholders' ownership as a result of our prior private placements and underwritten offerings, we currently have a significant number of securities outstanding that are exercisable for our common stock, which could result in significant additional dilution and downward pressure on our stock price. Future issuances of our common stock, including common stock that may be issuable pursuant to outstanding warrants or other convertible securities, could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause our stock price to fall.

    As of June 30, 2026, there were 80,891,404 shares of our common stock outstanding and pre-funded warrants and common stock warrants to purchase 48,693,790 shares of our common stock outstanding. The issuance of shares of common stock in our prior private placements and underwritten offerings, diluted the ownership interests of our existing stockholders. The issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to our "at-the-market" equity offering program or upon exercise of pre-funded warrants or common warrants issued in our prior private placements, underwritten offerings and exchange agreement would result in significant additional dilution to our current stockholders, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock and the terms on which we could raise additional capital. If we sell additional shares of common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing stockholders, and new investors could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to the holders of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    We expect our stock price to be volatile, and the market price of our common stock may drop unexpectedly.

    The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations. Market prices for securities of early-stage pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and other life sciences companies have historically been particularly volatile. Some of the factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate include: - uncertainties regarding our financial condition and our ability to raise sufficient capital to fund our ongoing operations;- our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for our product candidates or other product candidates, and delays or failures to obtain such approvals;- failure of any of our product candidates, if approved, to achieve commercial success;- issues in manufacturing our approved products, if any, or product candidates;- the results of our current and any future clinical trials of our product candidates;- uncertainties about the ability of tegoprubart to prevent rejection in connection with kidney, xeno or islet cell transplantations;- the entry into, or termination of, key agreements, including key commercial partner agreements;- the initiation of, material developments in, or conclusion of litigation to enforce or defend any of our intellectual property rights or defend against the intellectual property rights of others;- announcements by commercial partners or competitors of new commercial products, clinical progress, or the lack thereof, significant contracts, commercial relationships, or capital commitments;- the introduction of technological innovations or new therapies that compete with our potential products;- the loss of key employees;- changes in estimates or recommendations by securities analysts, if any, who cover our common stock;- general and industry-specific economic conditions that may affect our research and development expenditures;- changes in the structure of healthcare payment systems;- period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results; and - future issuances of shares of common stock. Moreover, the stock markets in general have experienced substantial volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market fluctuations may also adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, stockholders have often instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly harm our profitability and reputation.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Provisions in our corporate charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of the Company, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

    Provisions in our corporate charter and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of the Company that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, thereby depressing the market price of our common stock. In addition, because our Board is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by stockholders to replace or remove the current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our Board. Among other things, these provisions: - establish a classified Board such that not all members of the Board are elected at one time;- allow the authorized number of our directors to be changed only by resolution of our Board;- limit the manner in which stockholders can remove directors from our Board;- establish advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals that can be acted on at stockholder meetings and nominations to our Board;- require that stockholder actions must be effected at a duly called stockholder meeting and prohibit actions by our stockholders by written consent;- limit who may call stockholder meetings;- authorize our Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could be used to institute a "poison pill" that would work to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer, effectively preventing acquisitions that have not been approved by our Board; and - require the approval of the holders of at least 75% of the votes that all our stockholders would be entitled to cast to amend or repeal certain provisions of the Company's charter or bylaws.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
