NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Description of Business
Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc. and its
wholly owned subsidiaries NW Bio Gmbh, and Aracaris Capital, Ltd (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, “us”
and “our”) were organized to discover and develop innovative immunotherapies for cancer.
The Company is developing an experimental
dendritic cell vaccine using its platform technology known as DCVax. DCVax is currently being tested for use in the treatment of
certain types of cancers.
Cognate BioServices, Inc. (“Cognate
BioServices”), which is a company related by common ownership (Note 9), provides the Company with mission critical contract
manufacturing services, research and development services, distribution and logistics, and related services, in compliance with
the Company’s specifications and the applicable regulatory requirements for clinical grade cellular products. The Company
and Cognate BioServices are currently parties to a series of contracts providing for these services as more fully described below.
The Company is dependent on Cognate BioServices to provide the manufacturing services, and any interruption of such services could
potentially have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to proceed with its clinical trials. Cognate BioServices’
manufacturing facility for clinical-grade cellular products is located in Memphis, Tennessee. In addition, a Cognate affiliate
in the UK (which was formerly part of Cognate BioServices) is preparing for production of DCVax-L products there.
Although there are many contract manufacturers
for small molecule drugs and for biologics, there are only a few contract manufacturers in the U.S., and even fewer in Europe,
that specialize in producing living cell products and that have a track record of success with regulatory authorities. The manufacturing
of living cell products is highly specialized and entirely different than production of biologics: the physical facilities and
equipment are different, the types of personnel and skill sets are different, and the processes are different. The regulatory requirements
relating to manufacturing and cellular products are especially challenging and are one of the most frequent reasons for the development
of a company’s cellular products to be put on clinical hold (i.e., stopped by regulatory authorities).
In addition, the Company’s programs
require a large amount of capacity in these specialized manufacturing facilities. The Company’s products are fully personalized
and not made in standardized batches: the Company’s products are made on demand, patient by patient, on an as needed basis.
2. Liquidity, Financial Condition and Management Plans
During the six months ended June 30, 2017
and 2016, the Company used approximately $16.0 million and $31.8 million of cash in its operating activities, respectively. The
expenditures in 2017 have included substantial payments for expenses previously incurred in connection with the Phase III clinical
trial of DCVax-L.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017,
the Company raised approximately $16.0 million in equity and debt securities to fund its operations, and raised an additional $5
million from a third party who retired the 2014 Notes on the Company’s behalf (see Note 7 for further details). As expected
for a company that is pre-revenue, the Company incurred a net loss of $10.3 million and $22.9 million for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The Company had current assets of $0.8 million and a working capital deficit of approximately
$72.0 million at June 30, 2017. The Company owed an aggregate of $21.4 million of trade liabilities to related parties as of June
30, 2017 (after waiver by such related parties during this period of $3.75 million of payables owed to them by the Company).
The Company has not yet generated any material
revenue from the sale of its products and is subject to all of the risks and uncertainties that are typically faced by biotechnology
companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to R&D and clinical trials and do not yet have commercial products.
The Company expects to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future. The Company’s existing liquidity is not sufficient
to fund its operations, anticipated capital expenditures, working capital and other financing requirements until the Company reaches
significant revenues. Until that time, the Company will need to obtain additional equity and/or debt financing, especially
if the Company experiences downturns in its business that are more severe or longer than anticipated, or if the Company experiences
significant increases in expense levels resulting from being a publicly-traded company or from expansion of operations. If
the Company attempts to obtain additional equity or debt financing, the Company cannot assume that such financing will be available
to the Company on favorable terms, or at all.
Because of recurring operating losses,
net operating cash flow deficits, and an accumulated deficit, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. The Company has operated with going concern determinations throughout more than a decade, and so
the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
The Company did not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of
assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated. Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period
presentation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the Company
prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017, condensed
consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, condensed consolidated statements
of comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’
equity (deficit) for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months
ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which
the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods
presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
for the year ending December 31, 2017 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31,
2016 has been derived from audited financial statements; however, it does not include all of the information and notes required
by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, and notes thereto included
in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on April 17, 2017.
Use of Estimates
In preparing condensed consolidated financial
statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well
as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Due to inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual
results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its
estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include valuing equity securities in share-based payment arrangements,
valuing environmental liabilities, estimating the fair value of financial instruments recorded as derivative liabilities, and estimating
the useful lives of depreciable assets and whether impairment charges may apply.
Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for certain common
stock warrants outstanding as a liability at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. This
liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in
the Company's statements of operations. The fair value of the warrants issued by the Company has been estimated using Monte Carlo
simulation and or a Black Scholes model.
Sequencing
As of October 13, 2016, the Company adopted
a sequencing policy whereby all future instruments may be classified as a derivative liability with the exception of instruments
related to share-based compensation issued to employees or directors.
Environmental Remediation Liabilities
The Company records environmental remediation
liabilities for properties acquired. The environmental remediation liabilities are initially recorded at fair value. The liability
is reduced for actual costs incurred in connection with the clean-up activities for each property. Upon completion of the clean-up,
the environmental remediation liability is adjusted to equal the fair value of the remaining operation, maintenance and monitoring
activities to be performed for the property. The amount of the additional liability resulting from the completion of the clean-up,
if any, would be included in other income (expense). As of June 30, 2017, the Company estimated that the total environmental remediation
costs associated with the purchase of the UK Facility will be approximately $6.2 million. This is a projected potential future
cost. No such environmental costs have been incurred to date and none are currently pending. Contamination clean-up costs that
improve the property from its original acquisition state will be capitalized as part of the property’s overall development
costs. The Company engaged a third-party specialist to conduct certain surveys of the condition of the property which included,
among other things, a preliminary analysis of potential environmental remediation exposures. The Company determined, based on information
contained in the specialist’s report, that it would be required to estimate the fair value of an unconditional obligation
to remediate specific ground contamination at an estimated fair value of approximately $6.2 million. The Company computed the fair
value of this obligation using a probability weighted approach that measures the likelihood of the following two potential outcomes:
(i) a higher probability requirement of erecting a protective barrier around the affected area at an estimated cost of approximately
$4.5 million, and (ii) a lower probability requirement of having to excavate the affected area at an estimated cost of approximately
$32.0 million. The Company’s estimate is preliminary and therefore subject to change as further studies are conducted, and
as additional facts come to the Company’s attention. Environmental remediation efforts are complex, technical and subject
to various uncertainties. Accordingly, it is at least reasonably possible that any changes in the Company’s estimate could
materially differ from the management’s preliminary assessment discussed herein.
NORTHWEST BIOTHERAPEUTICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS
Comprehensive Loss
The Company reports comprehensive loss
and its components in its condensed consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and foreign currency
translation adjustments, affecting stockholders’ equity (deficit) that, under U.S, GAAP, are excluded from net loss.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged
to operations as incurred and consist primarily of clinical trial costs, related party manufacturing costs, consulting costs, contract
research and development costs, clinical site costs and compensation costs.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in
the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2016 Annual Report.
Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Compensation-Stock Compensation
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-09,
Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to
Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
. Under ASU No. 2016-09, companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain
tax deficiencies in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”). Instead, they will record all excess tax benefits and tax
deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the APIC pools will be eliminated. In addition, ASU No.
2016-09 eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized before companies can recognize them. ASU No. 2016-09 also
requires companies to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing
activity. Furthermore, ASU No. 2016-09 will increase the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still
qualify for the exception to liability classification for shares used to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding
obligation. An employer with a statutory income tax withholding obligation will now be allowed to withhold shares with a fair value
up to the amount of taxes owed using the maximum statutory tax rate in the employee’s applicable jurisdiction(s). ASU No.
2016-09 requires a company to classify the cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy its statutory income
tax withholding obligation as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. Under current U.S. GAAP, it was not specified
how these cash flows should be classified. In addition, companies will now have to elect whether to account for forfeitures on
share-based payments by (1) recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur or (2) estimating the number of awards expected to
be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is likely to change, as is currently required. These aspects of ASU 2016-09 are
effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted provided that all of the guidance
is adopted in the same period. The Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 on January 1, 2017 did not have a material impact
on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Compensation-Stock Compensation
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09,
Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting
, which clarifies when to account for
a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting
is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes
as a result of the change in terms or conditions. It is effective prospectively for the annual period ending December 31, 2018
and interim periods within that annual period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting
this standard on the condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures, but does not expect it to have a significant
impact.
NORTHWEST BIOTHERAPEUTICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS
Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down
Round Features
On July 13, 2017, the FASB has issued a two-part ASU No. 2017-11,
(i).
Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features
and (ii)
Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral
for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling
Interests with a Scope Exception
. It is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within
those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will be evaluating the impact of
adopting this standard on the condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
4. Fair Value Measurements
Derivative Warrants Granted in 2017
During the six months ended June 30, 2017,
the Company issued approximately 94,703,000 warrants (the “Warrants”) to multiple investors (the “Holders”).
Since the Company’s adoption of a sequencing policy (see Note 3), the warrants were classified as liabilities and measured
at fair value on the grant date, with changes in fair value recognized as other income on the statements of operations and disclosed
in the financial statements as long as the contracts remain classified as liabilities.

There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the six-month
period ended June 30, 2017.
In accordance with ASC 820, the development
and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility
of the Company’s management.
The following table presents changes in
Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017. Both observable and unobservable
inputs were used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category.
Unrealized gains and losses associated with liabilities within the Level 3 category include changes in fair
value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable
long- dated volatilities) inputs (in thousands).

6. Stock-based Compensation
On June 13, 2017, the Company granted options
(the “Options”) to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) to Dr. Marnix Bosch,
the Chief Technical Officer of the Company, and Dr. Alton Boynton, the Chief Scientific Officer of the Company. The Options were
granted pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc. 2007 Stock Plan (the “Equity Plan”).
The Equity Plan provides for awards of various types of equity securities (including common stock, restricted stock units, options
and/or other derivative securities) to employees and directors of the Company.
Dr. Bosch received Options exercisable
for 7,940,182 Shares and Dr. Boynton received Options exercisable for 3,402,935 Shares. The Options are exercisable at a price
of $0.25 per share, and have a 5-year exercise period. The Options granted to Dr. Bosch and Dr. Boynton are subject to vesting
requirements. 50% of the Options vested on the grant date, and 50% will vest over a 24-month period in equal monthly installments,
provided that the recipient continues to be employed by the Company. The unvested portions of the Options are subject to accelerated
vesting upon (i) a change of effective control of the Company, (ii) the filing of the first Biologics License Application or other
application for product approval in any jurisdiction, (iii) completion of any randomized clinical trial that meets its endpoint(s)
(Phase II or Phase III), (iv) decision by the Board, in its discretion or (v) the death of the recipient.

NORTHWEST BIOTHERAPEUTICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS
The Company recorded stock based compensation
expense of $373,000, which was included as part of research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The
weighted average grant date fair value was approximately $0.7 million and the unrecognized compensation cost was approximately
$0.3 million as of June 30, 2017, and will be recognized over the next 2.2 years. The Company records the forfeitures, if any,
when such forfeitures occur
.
The risk-free rate is based on the rate
of U.S Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option grants. Expected volatility is
based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock using the daily closing price of the Company’s common
stock. The expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding.

Common Stockholders
Basic loss per common share is computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per
common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur
if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
The following securities were not included
in the diluted net loss per share calculation because their effect was anti-dilutive as of the periods presented (in thousands):

* Including approximately 1.0 million ratchet warrants due to
the exercise price reset during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
The Company’s adoption of a sequencing
policy in the fourth quarter of 2016 requires that all financial instruments issued subsequent to such adoption be treated as a
derivative liability. As such, warrants issued in the current period report have been classified as liabilities.
11. Variable Interest
Entities
Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)
are entities in which equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. VIEs are consolidated
by the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party who has both the power to direct the activities of a VIE
that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and an obligation to absorb losses of the entity or a right
to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity.
After the assumption of $5.7 million in
debt originally incurred by Cognate in October 2016 the Company had an implicit variable interest in Cognate to potentially fund
Cognate’s losses (if Cognate incurs losses). The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of Cognate
upon its initial involvement and the Company reassess whether it is the primary beneficiary of Cognate on an ongoing basis.
The determination of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of Cognate is based upon the facts and circumstances and requires
significant judgment. The Company’s considerations in determining Cognate’s most significant activities and whether
the Company has power to direct those activities include, but are not limited to, Cognate’s purpose and design and the risks
passed through to investors, the equity ownership and voting interests of Cognate, management, service and/or other agreements
of Cognate, involvement in Cognate’s initial design and the existence of explicit or implicit financial guarantees.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company does not have the power over the most significant activities (control of operating decisions)
and therefore does not meet the "power" criteria of the primary beneficiary.
The maximum exposure to loss is limited
to the notional amounts of the implicit variable interest in Cognate. The Company has no current plans to provide any support
additional to that which is noted above. Therefore, the maximum exposure to loss from its implicit interest is limited to
$4.5 million as of June 30, 2017; which is the shutdown fee the Company must pay to terminate their relationship with Cognate.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
Contingent Payment to Cognate BioServices
Under the January 17, 2014 DCVax®-L
Manufacturing Services Agreement and the DCVax-Direct Agreement, a new set of provisions apply going forward to any shut down or
suspension. Under these provisions, the Company will be contingently obligated to pay certain fees to Cognate BioServices
(in addition to any other remedies) if the Company shuts down or suspends its DCVax-L program or DCVax-Direct program. For
a shutdown or suspension of the DCVax-L program, the fees will be as fol

|
At any time after receiving the equivalent of a marketing authorization for DCVax®-Direct in
any jurisdiction the fee shall be $5.0 million.

As of June 30, 2017, none of the above
fees were triggered.
While our DCVax programs are ongoing, the Company
is required to pay certain fees for dedicated production suites or capacity reserved exclusively for DCVax production, and pay
for a certain minimum number of patients, whether or not we fully utilize the dedicated capacity and number of patients. The Company
and Cognate are testing an arrangement under which the Company would no longer have capacity dedicated to its programs and instead
would have to arrange for advance scheduling in regard to each patient individually.
Derivative and Class Action Litigation
On June 19, 2015, two purported shareholders
filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned
Tharp, et al. v. Cognate, et al.
, C.A. 11179-VCG (Del. Ch.
filed June 19, 2015), purportedly suing on behalf of a class of similarly situated shareholders and derivatively on behalf of the
Company. The lawsuit names Cognate BioServices, Inc., Toucan Partners, Toucan Capital Fund III, our CEO Linda Powers and the individuals
who then served on the Company’s Board of Directors as defendants, and names the Company as a “nominal defendant”
with respect to the derivative claims. The complaint generally challenges certain transactions between the Company and Cognate
and the Toucan entities, in which Cognate and the Toucan entities provided services and financing to the Company, or agreed to
the conversion of debts owed to them by the Company into equity. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary relief for the Company
and the plaintiffs, and various forms of equitable relief, including disgorgement of allegedly improper benefits, rescission of
the challenged transactions, and an order forbidding similar transactions in the future. After considerable litigation and negotiations,
the parties reached an agreement to settle the case, along with the
Yonemura
case, discussed below. On May 19, 2017, the
parties submitted a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise and Settlement to the court, which is pending court approval. A settlement
hearing is currently scheduled for October 17, 2017, at which the court is expected to consider, among other things, whether to
approve the proposed settlement.
On November 19, 2015, a third purported
shareholder filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, captioned
Yonemura v. Powers, et al.
,
No. 15-03526 (D. Md. filed Nov. 19, 2015), claiming to sue derivatively on behalf of the Company. The complaint names the individuals
who then served on the Company’s Board of Directors, Toucan Capital Fund III, L.P., Toucan General II, LLC, Toucan Partners,
LLC, and Cognate as defendants, and names the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint generally challenges the same transactions
disputed in the Delaware case, claiming that the Company purportedly overcompensated Cognate and Toucan for certain services and
loans in payments of stock, and that the Company’s CEO, Ms. Powers, benefited from these transactions with Cognate and Toucan,
which she allegedly owns or controls. The complaint asserts that the alleged overpayments unjustly enriched Ms. Powers, Toucan,
and Cognate; that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties of loyalty and good faith to the Company by authorizing
the payments to Cognate; and that Ms. Powers, Cognate, and Toucan aided and abetted the directors’ breaches of fiduciary
duties. The plaintiff seeks an award of unspecified damages to the Company and seeks equitable remedies, including disgorgement
by Ms. Powers, Toucan, and Cognate of the allegedly improper benefits received as a result of the disputed transactions. The plaintiff
also seeks costs and disbursements associated with bringing suit, including attorneys' fees and expert fees. As discussed above,
the parties have agreed to settle the
Yonemura
case along with the
Tharp
case; the Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise
and Settlement thus addresses the claims in both lawsuits. The proceedings in the
Yonemura
case are currently stayed pending
review of the proposed settlement in the
Tharp
case by the Delaware Court of Chancery. If the settlement in the
Tharp
case is approved and becomes effective, then the plaintiff in
Yonemura
has agreed to dismiss that case.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS
On November 28, 2016, a purported shareholder
filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland, captioned
Wells v. Powers, et al.
, Case No. 427353-V
(Md. Cir. Ct., Mont. Cnty. filed Nov. 28, 2016), claiming to sue derivatively on behalf of the Company. The complaint names six
current and former members of the Company’s Board of Directors, Toucan Partners, LLC, Toucan Capital Fund III, L.P., Toucan
Partners, LP (a non-existent entity), Toucan General II, LLC, and Cognate as defendants, and names the Company as a nominal defendant.
The complaint largely challenges the same transactions disputed in the two cases discussed above, claiming that the Company overcompensated
Cognate and Toucan for certain services and loans. It asserts that, by authorizing those transactions, the individual defendants
breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, abused their ability to control and influence the Company, and engaged in gross
mismanagement of the Company’s business and assets. In addition, the complaint claims that the individual defendants are
liable to the Company for misleading its investors and financiers. The complaint claims that the individual defendants were unjustly
enriched by receiving compensation while the Company’s stock price was allegedly artificially inflated; that Ms. Powers,
Toucan, and Cognate are “controlling” stockholders of the Company who breached their fiduciary duties to minority stockholders;
that Ms. Powers, Toucan, and Cognate, benefited from these transactions due to their alleged “control”; that the alleged
overpayments unjustly enriched Ms. Powers, Toucan, and Cognate; and that Toucan and Cognate aided and abetted the individual defendants
in breaching their fiduciary duties. The complaint seeks the award of unspecified damages to the Company; an order from the court
directing the Company to reform its corporate governance and internal procedures; and equitable remedies, including restitution
and disgorgement from defendants. The plaintiff also seeks the costs and disbursements associated with bringing suit, including
attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses. The parties are currently engaged in settlement negotiations, and the plaintiff has
filed an unopposed motion to stay the deadlines in the case pending the court’s review of an anticipated motion for preliminary
settlement approval.
Class Action Securities Litigation
On August 26, 2015, a purported shareholder
of the Company filed a putative class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, captioned
Lerner
v. Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc., et al.
, No. 15-02532 (D. Md. filed Aug. 26, 2015). The lawsuit named the Company and Ms.
Powers as defendants. On December 14, 2015, the court appointed two lead plaintiffs. The Lead Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint
on February 12, 2016, purportedly on behalf of all of those who purchased common stock in the Company between January 13, 2014
and August 21, 2015. The amended complaint generally claimed that the defendants violated Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making misleading statements and/or omissions on a variety of subjects, including the status
and results of the Company’s DCVax trials. The amended complaint sought unspecified damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs.
The Company and Ms. Powers filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On March 21, 2017, the court entered an order dismissing
the case, and on April 12, 2017, the Lead Plaintiffs submitted a letter advising the court that they do not intend to file an amended
complaint.
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
As previously reported, the Company
has received a number formal information requests (subpoenas) from the SEC regarding several broad topics that have been previously
disclosed, including the Company’s membership on Nasdaq and delisting, related party matters, the Company’s programs,
internal controls and the Company’s Special Litigation Committee. Testimony of certain officers and third parties has been
taken as well. The Company is cooperating with the SEC investigation and is hopeful that it is reaching its final stages. Unfortunately,
the investigation has been costly for the Company, both in terms of professional fees and in distraction of management from operation
of the Company and its programs.
Special Litigation Committee
As previously reported, the Company appointed
a Special Litigation Committee, and Committee has undertaken an inquiry into the allegations of various lawsuits filed against
the Company, and an anonymous internet report raising a number of criticisms of the Company and its Board and management, including
with respect to the reasonableness of the transactions with Cognate. The Committee has retained experts to analyze some of these
issues.
Chardan Capital Markets v. Northwest
Biotherapeutics, Inc.
On June 22, 2017, Chardan Capital Markets,
LLC filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Chardan Capital
Markets v. Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc., 1:17-cv-04727-PKC. Chardan alleges that it provided capital placement agent services
to the Company in December 2016 under a contract and that it has not been fully compensated for those services. Chardan further
alleges that it provided additional services to the Company in March 2017 in anticipation of entering into contract and that it
received no compensation. The complaint asserts claims for breach of contract and unjust enrichment, and purports to seek
“at least” $1 million, interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On August 14, 2017, Chardan filed a notice
of motion for default judgment in the amount of $446,000, plus prejudgment interest. The Company intends to vigorously defend
the case.

of Common Stock of the Company, in which the investor exercised its Class B Warrants in full in return for amendment of the investor’s
Class B Warrants to reduce the exercise from $1.00 to $0.20 per share, as set forth in a Warrant Repricing Letter Agreement. The
Class B Warrants were originally issued on March 17, 2017 with an exercise period of 90 days, and the exercise period was previously

Such common shares were not sold by the Holder as of June 30, 2017. Therefore the Company didn’t reduce the share-settled
debt balance upon issuance of such shares.
Shares for Services
On July 6, 2017, as compensation for services
as a Director, the Company issued 1,312,500 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.16 to a designee of Robert Farmer. On July
