MIRATI THERAPEUTICS, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1.    Description of Business

Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. (“Mirati” or the “Company”) is a commercial-stage oncology company focused on the discovery, design and delivery of breakthrough therapies that address areas of high unmet need, including lung cancer, and advancing product candidates targeting the genetic and immunological drivers of cancer. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 29, 2013 as Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. and is located in San Diego, California. The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Mirati Therapeutics B.V. (“Mirati B.V.”), which was formed on August 3, 2021 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and Mirati Therapeutics (Suisse) GmbH (“Mirati Suisse”), which was formed on May 24, 2022 in Zug, Switzerland, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mirati B.V. The Company’s former wholly-owned subsidiary in Canada, MethylGene, Inc., was formed on May 8, 2013 and was formally dissolved in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The Company operates as one business segment, primarily in the United States. The Company’s common stock has been listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market since June 5, 2018, and was previously listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market since July 15, 2013, under the ticker symbol “MRTX.”

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On October 8, 2023, the Company announced it entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, a Delaware corporation (“BMS”), and Vineyard Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of BMS (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of BMS. Refer to footnote 12, Subsequent Events, for more information.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted.

In the opinion of management, the information reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

Reported amounts and footnote disclosures reflect the overall economic conditions that are most likely to occur and anticipated measures management intends to take. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed quarterly. Any revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid securities with original maturities at the date of acquisition of ninety days or less. Investments with an original maturity of more than ninety days are considered short-term investments
6

and have been classified by management as available-for-sale. These investments are classified as current assets, even though the stated maturity date may be one year or more beyond the current consolidated balance sheet date, which reflects management’s intention to use the proceeds from sales of these securities to fund its operations, as necessary. Such investments are carried at fair value, and the unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities, if any, are determined on a specific identification basis.    

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company invests its excess cash in accordance with its investment policy. The Company’s investments are comprised primarily of commercial paper and debt instruments of financial institutions, corporations, U.S. government-sponsored agencies and the U.S. Treasury. The Company mitigates credit risk by maintaining a diversified portfolio and limiting the amount of investment exposure as to institution, maturity and investment type. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable, net consists of trade receivables which are amounts due from customers related to product sales. The Company records trade receivables net of chargebacks, invoice discounts, distribution service fees and any allowances for doubtful accounts for potential credit losses. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on the financial condition and creditworthiness of customers and the Company considers economic factors and events or trends expected to affect future collections experience. Any allowance would reduce the net receivables to the amount that is expected to be collected. The payment history of the Company’s customers will be considered in future assessments of collectability as these patterns are established over a longer period. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company determined an allowance for doubtful accounts was not required.

Inventory

The Company began capitalizing inventory for KRAZATI, which received approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and launched commercially in the U.S. in December 2022. KRAZATI (adagrasib) is approved for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. Prior to regulatory approval, all direct and indirect manufacturing costs were charged to research and development expense in the period incurred.

Inventory is comprised of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, and includes costs related to third-party contract manufacturing, packaging, freight-in and overhead. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost based on the first-in-first-out method. The Company performs an assessment of recoverability of capitalized inventory during each reporting period based on an analysis of forecasted demand compared to quantities on hand and any firm purchase orders, as well as product shelf life, and writes down any excess, obsolete or unsaleable inventory to its estimated realizable value in the period which the impairment is first identified. Such write downs, should they occur, are charged to cost of product revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not identify any impaired inventory.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the guidance of Revenue From Contracts With Customers, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“Topic 606”). Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

Product revenue, net

The Company’s product revenue consists of sales of KRAZATI. The Company sells KRAZATI principally to specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors, which are referred to as the Company’s customers. These customers subsequently resell the product to healthcare providers and patients. Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer.

The Company records revenues from product sales at the net sales price, or transaction price, which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established primarily from chargebacks, government and commercial rebates, incentives, product returns, trade discounts and other allowances that are offered in contracts between the Company and its customers, healthcare providers and other third-party payors relating to the sales of its product. These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of trade receivables, if the amount is deductible by the customer from payments to the Company, which is included within accounts receivable, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, or a current liability, if the amount is payable by the Company to a customer or third-party, which is included within accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price using the expected value method. These estimates take into consideration relevant factors such as current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, forecasted customer buying and payment patterns, and the Company’s historical experience that will develop over time as KRAZATI is the Company’s first commercial product. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of its contracts. The amount of variable consideration may be constrained and is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenues and earnings in the period such variances become known.

From time to time, the Company may sell KRAZATI to other commercial customers conducting clinical trials. These sales are recorded as part of product revenue, net and reflected at the transaction price, which includes estimates of variable consideration for trade allowances as discussed below.

The following are the components of variable consideration related to product revenue:

Chargebacks. Chargebacks relate to contracts with various third-party payors, including governmental healthcare programs, managed care providers, group purchasing organizations and other organizations, that generally purchase the product from a specialty distributor at a discounted price. The specialty distributor, in turn, charges back to the Company the difference between the price initially paid by the specialty distributor and the discounted price paid to the specialty distributor by its contracted customer. The allowance for chargebacks is based on actual chargebacks received and an estimate of sales by the specialty distributor to its contracted customers. These reserves are recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and a reduction of trade receivables.

Government rebates. The Company is subject to discount obligations under Medicare, Medicaid, and other governmental healthcare programs in the U.S. The Company’s estimates of rebates are based on the government-mandated discounts, which are statutorily-defined and applicable to these government funded programs. These reserves are recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the accrual of an estimated liability. For Medicare, the Company also estimates the number of patients in the prescription drug coverage gap for whom it will owe an additional liability under the Medicare Part D program.

Commercial rebates. The Company contracts with various private payor organizations and group purchasing organizations for the payment of rebates with respect to the utilization of its product. The Company’s estimates for the expected utilization of rebates are based on customer and payor data received from the specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors and historical utilization rates that will develop over time as KRAZATI is the Company’s first commercial product. These reserves are recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the accrual of an estimated liability.

Incentives. The Company offers incentives such as co-payment assistance to commercially insured patients in the U.S. who meet certain eligibility requirements. The Company may provide financial assistance to participating patients with prescription drug co-payments required by the patients’ insurance provider, up to a specified dollar amount. These reserves are
8

recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the accrual of an estimated liability.

Product returns. Generally, the Company’s customers have the right to return product for a limited time before and after its expiration date. Since the Company does not have its own returns experience, it estimates returns based on available industry data for comparable products in the market as well as other information, such as visibility into the inventory remaining in the distribution channel and expiration date. As the Company distributes its product and establishes historical sales over a longer period of time, the Company will be able to place more reliance on historical purchasing, demand and return patterns of its customers when evaluating its reserves for product returns. The estimate for product returns is recorded as an accrued liability and a reduction of revenue in the period the related product sales are recognized.

Trade allowances. The Company may provide invoice discounts on product sales to its customers for prompt payment based on contractual terms. These discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. Trade receivables are recorded net of the allowance for these discounts. The Company also pays fees to its distributors for their services. The Company has determined such services are not distinct from the Company’s sale of product to its customers and therefore records these payments as a reduction of revenue and a reduction of trade receivables in the period the related product revenue is recognized. To the extent the services received are distinct from the Company’s sale of product to its customers, these payments will be recorded within selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

License and collaboration revenues

The Company’s license and collaboration revenues have been generated primarily through collaborative research, development, manufacture and commercialization agreements. The terms of these agreements generally include the license of intellectual property and associated know-how and the provision of other goods and services. Payments to the Company under these arrangements typically include one or more of the following: non-refundable, up-front license fees; manufacturing supply services; milestone payments; and royalties on future product sales.

License of Intellectual Property. If a license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenue allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue associated with the bundled performance obligation.

Manufacturing Supply Services. The Company’s obligation under the agreements may include the initial supply of material for clinical development. If determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenue allocated to this performance obligation when the collaborative partner obtains control of the goods. If determined not to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenue allocated to the combined performance obligation as the related performance obligations are satisfied.

Milestone Payments. At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments based upon the achievement of specified clinical development, regulatory and/or sales milestones, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone amount is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are dependent on factors outside of the Company’s control, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. These payments are fully constrained and therefore are not included in the transaction price. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of each milestone and any related 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 the reported amount of license and collaboration revenues in the period of adjustment.

Royalties. For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).

9

Intangible Asset, Net

The Company’s finite-lived intangible asset resulted from the capitalization of a milestone payment due under a license and collaboration agreement in connection with the first commercial sale of KRAZATI in the U.S. in December 2022. The intangible asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its remaining useful life, which is estimated to be the remaining patent life of KRAZATI. Amortization expense is recorded as cost of product revenue - intangible asset amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Cost of Product Revenue

Cost of product revenue includes direct and indirect costs related to the manufacturing and distribution of KRAZATI, including materials, third-party contract manufacturing costs, packaging services, freight-in, overhead, royalties payable on net sales of KRAZATI and inventory reserves. All product costs incurred prior to FDA approval of KRAZATI in December 2022 were charged to research and development expense.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. For operating leases with an initial term greater than 12 months, the Company recognizes operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Operating lease right-of-use assets are comprised of the lease liability plus any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease terms include options to renew or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain that the renewal option will be exercised or when it is reasonably certain that the termination option will not be exercised. For the Company’s operating leases, if the interest rate used to determine the present value of future lease payments is not readily determinable, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in similar economic environments. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common share equivalents as they are anti-dilutive. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for the period, as well as certain shares that are contingently issuable. Common share equivalents outstanding, determined using the treasury stock method, are comprised of shares that may be issued under the Company’s stock option and warrant agreements, as well as restricted stock units and performance stock units.

The following table presents the weighted-average number of common share equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method, as well as certain shares that are contingently issuable, not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share due to the anti-dilutive effect of the securities:

The Company has classified all of its short-term investments as available-for-sale as the sale of such securities may be required prior to maturity to implement management strategies, and therefore, they are carried at fair value. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the unrealized losses for available-for-sale investments were non-credit related, and the Company does not intend to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at the time of maturity. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no allowance for credit losses was recorded. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses related to investments.

The long-term investment balance of $3.6 million and $3.5 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, is comprised of 588,235 shares of ORIC Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ORIC”) common stock which were acquired in 2020. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the investment is carried at fair value based on the closing price of ORIC’s common stock on the last trading day of the reporting period. The Company recorded a loss of $1.0 million and a gain of $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and losses of $0.8 million and $6.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, within other income, net in the condensed

consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company currently does not intend to sell ORIC shares within 12 months from September 30, 2023. See Note 4 for additional information related to the investment in ORIC.

4.    Fair Value Measurements

The Company has certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value which have been classified as Level 1, 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy as described in the accounting standards for fair value measurements.

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following hierarchy:
 
Level 1- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3- Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

The Company’s investments in Level 1 assets are valued based on publicly available quoted market prices for identical securities as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company determines the fair value of Level 2 related securities with the aid of valuations provided by third parties using proprietary valuation models and analytical tools. These valuation models and analytical tools use market pricing or prices for similar instruments that are both objective and publicly available, including matrix pricing or reported trades, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids and/or offers.

The Company’s long-term investment in ORIC was considered a Level 3 fair value measurement during an eighteen-month lock-up period which required an adjustment for a discount for lack of marketability. During the lock-up period, the fair value measurement utilized a combination of the Asian Protective Put Option and Finnerty Put Option fair value techniques to determine the discount for lack of marketability. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the eighteen-month lock-up period expired, and because ORIC common stock is quoted in an active market, it met the criteria of a Level 1 investment. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company transferred the investment in ORIC from a Level 3 fair value measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement. See Note 9 for further details on the license agreement with ORIC.

The following table represents the change in estimated fair value of and transfer activity for the Company’s Level 3 investment (in thousands):
Balance as of December 31, 2021$8,218 
Change in fair value at lock-up expiration(3,100)
Transfer from Level 3 to Level 1 at lock-up expiration(5,118)
Balance as of March 31, 2022$ 

Other than the investment in ORIC described above, there were no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

9.    Revenue

Product revenue, net

The Company’s product revenue is related to U.S. sales of KRAZATI. Revenue is reduced at the time of recognition for the Company’s best estimate of chargebacks, government and commercial rebates, incentives, returns, trade discounts and other allowances to which customers are entitled. These reductions are currently attributed to various commercial arrangements.

The Company recognized $1.3 million and $3.0 million of product revenue, net related to sales of KRAZATI to a third-party commercial customer for its clinical trials during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. This revenue is recognized net of the Company’s best estimate of trade allowances.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s accounts receivable balances of $14.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets consisted of KRAZATI product sales receivable, net of chargebacks, discounts and allowances of $1.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s government and commercial rebates, program incentives and provision for product returns totaled $2.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and are included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

License and Collaboration Agreements

BeiGene Agreement

Terms of Agreement

On January 7, 2018, the Company and BeiGene Ltd. (“BeiGene”) entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “BeiGene Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and BeiGene agreed to collaboratively develop sitravatinib in Asia (excluding Japan and certain other countries), Australia and New Zealand (collectively, the “BeiGene Licensed Territory”). Under the BeiGene Agreement, the Company granted BeiGene an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize sitravatinib in the BeiGene Licensed Territory, with the Company retaining exclusive rights for the development, manufacture and commercialization of sitravatinib outside the BeiGene Licensed Territory.

As consideration for the rights granted to BeiGene under the BeiGene Agreement, BeiGene paid the Company a non-refundable, non-creditable up-front fee of $10.0 million. BeiGene is also required to make milestone payments to the Company of up to an aggregate of $123.0 million upon the first achievement of specified clinical, regulatory and sales milestones. The BeiGene Agreement additionally provides that BeiGene is obligated to pay the Company royalties at tiered percentage rates ranging from mid-single digits to twenty percent on annual net sales of licensed products in the BeiGene Licensed Territory, subject to reduction under specified circumstances. The BeiGene Agreement also provides that the Company will supply BeiGene with sitravatinib for use in BeiGene’s development activities in the BeiGene Licensed Territory.

The BeiGene Agreement will terminate upon the expiration of the last royalty term for the licensed products, which is the latest of (i) the date of expiration of the last valid patent claim related to the licensed products under the BeiGene Agreement, (ii) ten years after the first commercial sale of a licensed product and (iii) the expiration of any regulatory exclusivity as to a licensed product. BeiGene may terminate the BeiGene Agreement at any time by providing 60 days prior written notice to the Company. Either party may terminate the BeiGene Agreement upon a material breach by the other party that remains uncured following 60 days after the date of written notice of such breach or upon certain bankruptcy events. In addition, the Company may terminate the BeiGene Agreement upon written notice to BeiGene under specified circumstances if BeiGene challenges the licensed patent rights.

Revenue Recognition

The Company evaluated the BeiGene Agreement under Topic 606. At the time it entered into the BeiGene Agreement, the Company determined the transaction price was equal to the up-front fee of $10.0 million. The transaction price was allocated to the performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price estimated for each performance obligation. In estimating the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation, the Company developed assumptions that require judgment and included forecasted revenues, expected development timelines, discount rates, probabilities of technical and regulatory success and costs for manufacturing clinical supplies. As such, of the up-front fee, the Company allocated $9.5 million to the license of the Company’s intellectual property, bundled with the associated know-how, and the
16

remaining $0.5 million to the initial obligation to supply sitravatinib for clinical development in the BeiGene Licensed Territory.

Licenses of Intellectual Property.   The license to the Company’s intellectual property, bundled with the associated know-how, represents a distinct performance obligation and the Company recognized the full revenue amount of $9.5 million related to this performance obligation as license and collaboration revenues in 2018.

Manufacturing Supply Services.  The Company’s initial obligation to supply sitravatinib for clinical development in the BeiGene Licensed Territory represents a distinct performance obligation, and the $0.5 million initial supply obligation was fully recognized as license and collaboration revenues as of December 31, 2020. Although the initial performance obligation was satisfied, BeiGene may request additional sitravatinib in the future for clinical development in the BeiGene Licensed Territory. No revenue related to this performance obligation was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.

Milestone Payments. The Company is entitled to development milestones under the BeiGene Agreement and certain regulatory milestone payments which are paid upon receipt of regulatory approvals within the BeiGene Licensed Territory. No milestone payments were earned during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022. The Company evaluated whether the remaining milestones are considered probable of being reached and determined that their achievement is highly dependent on factors outside of the Company’s control. Therefore, these payments have been fully constrained and are not included in the transaction price. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company will re-evaluate the probability of achievement of each milestone and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjust its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect the reported amount of license and collaboration revenues in the period of adjustment.

Royalties.  As the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which sales-based royalties relate, the Company will recognize revenue when the related sales occur. No royalty revenue was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.

Pfizer Agreement

In October 2014, the Company entered into a drug discovery collaboration and option agreement with Array BioPharma, Inc. (“Array,” acquired by Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) in July 2019) whereby Array provided services to facilitate the discovery, optimization and development of small molecule compounds that bind and specifically inhibit KRAS G12C. In June 2017, the two parties entered into a second, separate discovery collaboration and option agreement whereby Array provided services to facilitate the discovery, optimization and development of small molecule compounds that bind and specifically inhibit KRAS G12D. Both agreements established an option mechanism which enabled the Company to elect an exclusive worldwide license under the technology for the development and commercialization of certain products based on these compounds.

Under these agreements, following the joint discovery periods, which have since concluded, the Company exercised its options to retain exclusive worldwide licenses to develop, manufacture and commercialize inhibitors of KRAS G12C and KRAS G12D, including, but not limited to, adagrasib and MRTX1133. Under each agreement, Pfizer is entitled to potential development milestone payments of up to $9.3 million from the Company, and tiered sales milestone payments of up to $337.0 million based upon worldwide net sales, and tiered royalties in the high single digits to mid-teens on worldwide net sales of products arising from the collaborations. Under the agreements, the Company has incurred an aggregate of $10.5 million in development milestone payments and a $15.0 million commercial milestone payment relating to the first sale of KRAZATI in the U.S. from inception through September 30, 2023. The $15.0 million milestone payment relating to the first commercial sale of KRAZATI in the U.S. was capitalized as an intangible asset as of December 31, 2022 (see Note 7).

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred zero and $1.0 million, respectively, in development milestone payments, for initiation of the first Phase 1 trial for MRTX1133 which was recorded as a research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company also incurred $1.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of royalties on net sales of KRAZATI which were recorded as cost of product revenue in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. No expenses were incurred under these agreements with Pfizer during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
17


The royalty term for each agreement is payable on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis, and separately will terminate at the later of (i) the date of expiration of the last valid patent claim within the collaboration patent rights or the Pfizer background technology covering such product in the country in which such product is sold at the time of such sale, or (ii) ten years after the first commercial sale of such product in such country. The Company may terminate each agreement at any time by providing 60 days prior written notice to Pfizer. Either party may terminate each agreement upon a material breach by the other party that remains uncured following 60 days after the date of written notice of such breach or upon certain bankruptcy events.

ORIC Pharmaceuticals Agreement

Terms of Agreement

On August 3, 2020, the Company entered into a license agreement with ORIC Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ORIC”) pursuant to which the Company granted to ORIC an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize the Company’s allosteric polycomb repressive complex 2 (“PRC2”) inhibitors for all indications (the “ORIC Agreement”). In accordance with the terms of the ORIC Agreement, in exchange for such license, ORIC issued 588,235 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) to the Company on August 3, 2020. The Shares were issued under a stock issuance agreement entered into between ORIC and the Company, dated August 3, 2020. During the eighteen-month period following the date of the stock issuance agreement, the Company was subject to certain transfer restrictions. ORIC is not obligated to pay the Company milestone payments or royalty payments under the ORIC Agreement.

Unless terminated earlier, the ORIC Agreement will continue in effect on a country-by-country and licensed product-by-licensed product basis until the later of (a) the expiration of the last valid claim of a licensed patent covering such licensed product in such country or (b) ten years after the first commercial sale of such licensed product in such country. Following the expiration of the ORIC Agreement, ORIC will retain its licenses under the intellectual property the Company licensed to ORIC on a royalty-free basis. The Company and ORIC may each terminate the ORIC Agreement if the other party materially breaches the terms of such agreement, subject to specified notice and cure provisions, or enters into bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. The Company may terminate the agreement if ORIC challenges any of the patent rights licensed to ORIC by the Company or if ORIC discontinues development of licensed products for a specified period of time. ORIC also has the right to terminate the ORIC Agreement without cause by providing prior written notice to the Company.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounted for the ORIC Agreement under Topic 606 and identified the granting of an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize the Company’s allosteric PRC2 inhibitors for all indications as a distinct performance obligation since ORIC can benefit from the license on its own by developing and commercializing the underlying product using its own resources.

In determining the transaction price, the Company received the Shares as non-cash consideration. The Company allocated the entire transaction price to the distinct performance obligation described above, and the license and related know-how was transferred to ORIC during the third quarter of 2020. Therefore, the Company recognized the entire transaction price of $11.4 million during 2020 and classified the amount as license and collaboration revenues in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Shares are carried at fair value and are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a long-term investment. Any change in fair value is recorded within other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Zai Agreement

Terms of Agreement

On May 28, 2021, the Company and Zai Lab Ltd. (“Zai”) entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Zai Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and Zai agreed to collaboratively develop adagrasib in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan (collectively, the “Zai Licensed Territory”). Under the Zai Agreement, the Company granted Zai the rights to research, develop, manufacture and exclusively commercialize adagrasib in all indications in the Zai Licensed Territory, with the Company retaining exclusive rights for the development, manufacture and commercialization of adagrasib outside the Zai Licensed Territory and certain co-commercialization, manufacture, and development rights in the Zai Licensed Territory. Zai is
18

obligated to participate in selected global, registration-enabling clinical trials and enroll patients in the Zai Licensed Territory at Zai’s expense.

As consideration for the rights granted to Zai under the Zai Agreement, Zai agreed to pay the Company a non-refundable, non-creditable up-front fee of $65.0 million. Under the Zai Agreement, the Company is entitled to potential development and regulatory-based milestone payments of up to $93.0 million, and tiered sales milestone payments of up to $180.0 million based on net sales in the Zai Licensed Territory. The Zai Agreement additionally provides that Zai is obligated to pay to the Company royalties at tiered percentage rates ranging from the high-teens to the low-twenties on annual net sales of licensed products in the Zai Licensed Territory, subject to reduction under specified circumstances. The Zai Agreement also provides that the Company will supply Zai with adagrasib for use in Zai’s development activities in the Zai Licensed Territory at Zai's expense.

The Zai Agreement will terminate on a licensed product-by-licensed product basis and on a region-by-region basis in the Zai Licensed Territory, upon the later to occur of (i) the date of expiration of the last valid claim covering such licensed product in such region, (ii) the date that is ten years after the date of the first commercial sale in such region and (iii) the expiration date of any regulatory exclusivity for such licensed product in such region, or for a co-commercialized product on the date the parties agree to terminate such co-commercialization, or in its entirety upon the expiration of all payment obligations under the Zai Agreement. Zai may terminate the Zai Agreement at any time by providing 12 months’ notice to the Company. Either party may terminate the Zai Agreement upon a material breach by the other party that remains uncured or upon certain bankruptcy events. In addition, the Company may terminate the Zai Agreement if Zai challenges the licensed patent rights.

Revenue Recognition

The Company evaluated the Zai Agreement under Topic 606. The Company determined that two performance obligations existed: (1) the license to intellectual property, bundled with the associated know-how and (2) the Company's initial obligation to supply adagrasib for clinical development in the Zai Licensed Territory. At the time it entered into the Zai Agreement, the Company determined the transaction price was equal to $66.6 million, which includes the up-front fee and other incidental amounts. In estimating the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation, the Company developed assumptions that require judgment and included forecasted revenues, expected development timelines, discount rates, probabilities of technical and regulatory success, forecasted costs for manufacturing clinical supplies and cost savings related to Zai's participation in selected trials. The Company allocated the full transaction price to the license to the Company’s intellectual property, bundled with the associated know-how. The Company concluded the variable payments related to the Company’s initial obligation to supply adagrasib for clinical development in the Zai Licensed Territory relate specifically to the Company’s efforts to satisfy this performance obligation and the obligation to provide the initial clinical supply approximates the stand-alone selling price. Payments under the Zai Agreement are subject to foreign tax withholdings.

Licenses of Intellectual Property.   The license to the Company’s intellectual property, bundled with the associated know-how, represents a distinct performance obligation. The license and associated know-how was transferred to Zai during the third quarter of 2021 and, therefore during 2021, the Company recognized the full revenue amount of $66.6 million as license and collaboration revenues and $3.3 million as income tax expense in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Manufacturing Supply Services.  The Company’s initial obligation to supply adagrasib for clinical development in the Zai Licensed Territory represents a distinct performance obligation. As such, the Company will recognize revenue when Zai obtains control of the goods. The Company recognized zero and $1.2 million of revenue related to this performance obligation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company recognized $0.3 million and $1.4 million of revenue related to this performance obligation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company may also become responsible for manufacturing adagrasib for commercial supply and will receive reimbursement that approximates stand-alone selling prices.

Milestone Payments. The Company is entitled to development milestone payments and certain regulatory and sales milestone payments which are paid upon achievement of the development milestones, upon receipt of regulatory approvals and annual net sales thresholds within the Zai Licensed Territory under the Zai Agreement. No milestone payments were earned during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company earned a $5.0 million milestone payment related to the initiation of the first pivotal clinical trial of adagrasib for the second indication in China during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Company earned a $5.0 million milestone payment related to the initiation of the first pivotal clinical trial of
19

adagrasib for the first indication in China and a $5.0 million milestone payment related to the initiation of the first pivotal clinical trial of adagrasib for the second indication in China during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company evaluated whether or not the milestones are considered probable of being reached and determined that their achievement is highly dependent on factors outside of the Company’s control. These payments have been fully constrained and therefore are not included in the transaction price. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company will re-evaluate the probability of achievement of each milestone and any related constraint and, if necessary, adjust its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments will be recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect the reported amount of license and collaboration revenues in the period of adjustment.

Royalties.  As the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which sales-based royalties relate, the Company will recognize revenue when the related sales occur. No royalty revenue was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.

10.    Shareholders’ Equity

Sale of Common Stock

In August 2023, the Company sold 11,288,336 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $27.80 per share and sold warrants to purchase up to 1,121,736 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $27.799 per warrant. After deducting underwriter discounts and offering expenses, the Company received net proceeds from the transaction of $332.5 million. These warrants were recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity within additional paid-in capital. Per their terms, the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock may not be exercised if certain holders' ownership of the Company’s common stock would exceed 4.99 percent for certain holders, and 9.99 percent for other holders, following such exercise.

11.    Commitments and Contingencies

On June 30, 2020, the Company entered into an amended and restated lease agreement (the “Amended and Restated Lease”) for office and laboratory space located in San Diego, California, for the Company’s current corporate headquarters, which supercedes the original lease agreement dated August 22, 2019. The Amended and Restated Lease has a lease term of 12 years (“Lease Term”), unless terminated earlier. The Lease Term has an initial abatement period, and the initial base rent payable will be approximately $0.6 million per month following the abatement period, which amount will increase by 3% per year over the Lease Term. The Company also received incentives from the landlord for tenant improvements. During 2020, the underlying asset was available for use by the Company to construct tenant improvements and therefore, the Lease Term was considered to have commenced.

The Amended and Restated Lease is considered to be an operating lease, and the Company used a discount rate of 12% to calculate the value of its lease payments over the Lease Term. As of September 30, 2023, the condensed consolidated balance sheet includes an operating right-of-use asset of $35.1 million and a total operating lease liability of $50.2 million, of which $8.0 million is a current lease liability and included in accrued liabilities, and $42.2 million is included in non-current lease liability. As of December 31, 2022, the condensed consolidated balance sheet includes an operating right-of-use asset of $36.1 million and a total operating lease liability of $51.5 million, of which $7.8 million is a current lease liability and included in accrued liabilities, and $43.7 million is included in non-current lease liability. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded operating lease expense of $2.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded operating lease expense of $2.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

Overview

Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. is a commercial-stage oncology company developing novel therapeutics to address the genetic and immunological promoters of cancer.

We have multiple KRAS inhibitor programs. KRAZATI is our first commercial product. KRAZATI was approved by the FDA in December 2022 and we commenced commercial sales in the U.S. at that time. KRAZATI is an oral targeted treatment option for adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, as determined by an FDA-approved test, who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. Adagrasib (KRAZATI®) is in clinical development as a monotherapy and in combination with other agents. MRTX1133 is an investigational, selective, specific and potent KRAS G12D inhibitor. In January 2023, the FDA cleared our investigational new drug application (“IND”) for MRTX1133 for clinical evaluation.

Sitravatinib is an investigational spectrum-selective kinase inhibitor designed to potently inhibit receptor tyrosine kinases (“RTK”s) and enhance immune responses through the inhibition of immunosuppressive signaling. On May 24, 2023, we announced that the SAPPHIRE study did not meet its primary endpoint of overall survival at the final analysis. We do not currently have plans to pursue further clinical development of sitravatinib.

MRTX1719 is an investigational synthetic lethal PRMT5 inhibitor designed to specifically target the PRMT5/methylthioadensoine (MTA) complex and is in clinical development.

MRTX0902 is a potent, selective SOS1 inhibitor, designed to improve anti-tumor efficacy in combination with targeted mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-pathway inhibitors, and is in clinical development.

The Company also has additional discovery programs of potentially first-in-class and best-in-class product candidates specifically designed to address mutations and tumors where few treatment options exist. We approach all of our programs with a singular focus: to translate our deep understanding of the molecular drivers of cancer into better therapies and better outcomes for patients.

Plan of Merger
23


On October 8, 2023, we entered into the Merger Agreement with BMS and Merger Sub, providing for the Merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of BMS.

At the Effective Time, each share of Company common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) will automatically be converted into the right to receive (i) the $58.00 Closing Consideration and (ii) one CVR representing the right to receive $12.00 in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable tax withholdings, if a specified milestone is achieved, pursuant to the CVR Agreement.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, without limitation, the absence of certain legal restraints preventing or otherwise making illegal the consummation of the Merger, no Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company having occurred since the signing of the Merger Agreement, the expiration or termination of any waiting periods under the HSR Act applicable to the Merger or of any commitments by the parties not to consummate the Merger before a certain date under a timing agreement, the obtainment of any clearance or affirmative approvals applicable to the Merger under the antitrust and foreign direct investment laws of other applicable jurisdictions, and the adoption of the Merger Agreement by holders of Company common stock representing at least a majority of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon.

We anticipate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to close by the first half of 2024. Following completion of the Merger, the Company’s common stock will no longer be publicly listed.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for us and BMS. If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain specified circumstances, we will be required to pay BMS a fee of $168 million. If the Merger Agreement is terminated under other specified circumstances, BMS will be required to pay us a fee of $240 million.

KRAS Inhibitor Programs

The RAS family of genes is the most commonly mutated oncogene and mutations in this gene family occur in up to approximately 25% of all human cancers. Among the RAS family members, mutations most frequently occur in KRAS (approximately 85% of all RAS family mutations). Tumors characterized by KRAS mutations are commonly associated with poor prognosis and resistance to therapy. Nonclinical studies have demonstrated that cancer cells exhibiting KRAS mutations are highly dependent on KRAS function for cell growth and survival. Our KRAS inhibitor programs are focused on the discovery and development of small molecule compounds that target various forms of KRAS, including KRAS G12C, KRAS G12D and other forms of spectrum-selective KRAS inhibitors. We are pursuing development of our KRAS G12C and KRAS G12D inhibitor programs in both single agent and rational combination approaches.

KRAZATI, a selective KRAS G12C inhibitor

KRAZATI is a commercially available, selective, specific, potent and orally available KRAS G12C inhibitor, designed to directly inhibit KRAS G12C mutations. Adagrasib also continues to be in clinical development varying from Phase 1 through Phase 3. KRAS G12C mutations are present in approximately 14% of NSCLC adenocarcinoma patients, 3-4% of colorectal cancer (“CRC”) patients, 2% of pancreatic cancer patients, as well as smaller percentages of several other difficult-to-treat cancers.

Approval of KRAZATI

On December 12, 2022, we received accelerated approval by the FDA for KRAZATI, a targeted treatment option for adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, as determined by an FDA-approved test, who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. In connection with the accelerated approval, we are required to complete KRYSTAL-12 and other post-marketing commitments. The NDA was reviewed by the FDA for Accelerated Approval (Subpart H), which allows for the approval of drugs that treat serious conditions, and that fill an unmet medical need based on a surrogate endpoint. In addition, this application was reviewed under the FDA Real-Time Oncology Review pilot program, which aims to explore a more efficient review process that ensures safe and effective treatments are made available to patients as early as possible, and achieved Breakthrough Therapy Designation for patients with NSCLC who harbor the KRAS G12C mutation following prior systemic therapy, and Breakthrough Therapy Designation for patients with advanced CRC whose cancer has progressed following prior treatment with chemotherapy and an anti-VEGF therapy. In April 2022, we submitted a Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) to the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) for adagrasib for the treatment of patients with NSCLC harboring the KRAS G12C mutation who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. On July 21 2023, we announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (“CHMP”) of the EMA adopted a negative
24

opinion on the application for conditional marketing authorisation for KRAZATI, for the treatment of KRAS G12C-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The evaluation of the full MAA is not impacted and will be considered by the CHMP following the data from KRYSTAL-12, a Phase 3 clinical study of adagrasib versus docetaxel in second line NSCLC patients. On July 27, 2023, we submitted a request for re-examination to the CHMP. The Company also has an Expanded Access Program for KRAZATI for the treatment of eligible patients with KRAS G12C-mutated cancers regardless of tumor type in Europe. On November 3, 2023, the United Kingdom Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency granted conditional marketing authorization approval for KRAZATI as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated advanced NSCLC and have progressive disease after prior therapy with, or intolerance to, platinum-based chemotherapy and/or anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy.

KRYSTAL-1 Trial

We received FDA clearance of our IND for adagrasib in November 2018, and, in January 2019, we initiated the dose escalation phase of KRYSTAL-1, a Phase 1/2 multiple expansion cohort clinical trial evaluating adagrasib in patients with advanced solid tumors that harbor KRAS G12C mutations both in monotherapy and in combination with other anticancer therapies. Following single agent dose escalation, the KRYSTAL-1 trial was expanded into multiple cohorts in which adagrasib is being evaluated both in monotherapy and in combination with other compounds in patients with NSCLC, CRC and those with other tumors that carry the KRAS G12C mutation.

The KRYSTAL-1 trial is evaluating the combination of adagrasib and a PD-1 inhibitor (pembrolizumab) in patients with NSCLC, the combination of adagrasib and a pan-EGFR inhibitor (afatinib) in patients with advanced NSCLC, and the combination of adagrasib and an anti-EGFR antibody (cetuximab) in patients with CRC.

On December 21, 2022, adagrasib received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the FDA for patients with advanced CRC harboring a KRAS G12C mutation, whose cancer has progressed following prior treatment with chemotherapy and an anti-VEGF therapy.

On September 7, 2022, we presented results from KRYSTAL-1, a multi-cohort Phase 1/2 study, evaluating adagrasib with or without cetuximab in patients with advanced CRC harboring a KRAS G12C mutation.

In this analysis, 44 patients received adagrasib monotherapy (600mg twice daily (“BID”)) and 32 patients received the combination of adagrasib (600mg BID) with full dose cetuximab, with a follow up of 20.1 months and 17.5 months, respectively.

Of the evaluable patients in the adagrasib monotherapy cohort (n=43), the investigator assessed confirmed objective response rate (“ORR”) was 19% (8/43) and the disease control rate (“DCR”) was 86% (37/43). The median duration of response was 4.3 months (95% CI, 2.3–8.3) and median progression-free survival (“PFS”) was 5.6 months (95% CI, 4.1–8.3).

Of the evaluable patients in the adagrasib plus cetuximab combination cohort (n=28), the investigator assessed confirmed ORR was 46% (13/28) and the DCR was 100% (28/28). The median duration of response (“DOR”) was 7.6 months (95% CI 5.7–NE) and median PFS was 6.9 months (95% CI, 5.4–8.1).

In the overall subset of patients with KRAS G12C-mutated CRC evaluated in this study, adagrasib was found to be well-tolerated as a monotherapy and in combination with cetuximab. The majority of observed treatment-related adverse events (“TRAEs”) were grade 1–2 (59%); no grade 5 TRAEs were observed.

On May 26, 2022, we presented results from the registration-enabling Phase 2 cohort of KRYSTAL-1 study, evaluating adagrasib at 600mg BID in patients with NSCLC harboring the KRAS G12C mutation who have received at least one prior systemic therapy.

As of October 15, 2021, 116 patients were enrolled and treated in the study. Of the patients enrolled, 98% had prior treatment with a PD-1/L1 inhibitor following or in combination with chemotherapy. Median follow up was 12.9 months.

Of the patients evaluable for response (n=112), initial results showed that the ORR by Blinded Independent Central Review (“BICR”) was 43%, the DCR was 80%, the median DOR was 8.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 6.2 – 13.8), and the median PFS was 6.5 months (95% CI: 4.7 – 8.4).

25

With a January 15, 2022 data cutoff, the median overall survival (“OS”) was 12.6 months (95% CI: 9.2 – 19.2).

The safety profile of adagrasib in this study was consistent with prior reports and no new safety signals were observed. The most frequent TRAEs included gastrointestinal events and fatigue. The majority of TRAEs were Grade 1–2 (53%) with Grade 3–4 TRAEs observed in 43% of patients. Two Grade 5 TRAEs were observed. TRAEs led to discontinuation of therapy in only 7% of patients.

In addition to these results, we reported findings from a pooled analysis in a total of 132 NSCLC patients from the KRYSTAL-1 study, including the registrational Phase 2 and Phase 1/1b cohorts evaluating adagrasib at a dose of 600mg BID.

As of October 15, 2021, results from this pooled analysis showed an ORR of 44% and a DCR of 81% based on BICR. The median DOR was 12.5 months and the median PFS was 6.9 months.

With a January 15, 2022 data cutoff and a median duration of follow-up of 15.9 months, the median OS was 14.1 months.

The safety and tolerability observed in this pooled analysis was consistent with what was reported with the Phase 2 cohort of KRYSTAL-1 noted above.

On September 9, 2023, we presented two-year follow-up data from a pooled analysis of the Phase 1/1b Cohort and Phase 2 Cohort A from the KRYSTAL-1 study evaluating adagrasib in patients with NSCLC harboring a KRASG12C mutation.

In the pooled analysis, adagrasib demonstrated durable efficacy with a median OS of 14.1 months and a 2-year OS rate of 31% in patients with previously treated KRASG12C-mutated NSCLC.

Exploratory analyses suggested clinical benefit in patients with treated, stable CNS metastases at baseline with clinical benefit noted across most baseline co-mutations.

The safety and tolerability observed in this pooled analysis was consistent with what was reported with the Phase 2 cohort of KRYSTAL-1 noted above.

Hepatotoxicity was not observed in any patients who received adagrasib within 30 days of prior immunotherapy and, overall, there was a low rate of grade 3 or higher hepatoxicity.

On June 6, 2022, we announced results of a prospective analysis from the Phase 1b cohort of the KRYSTAL-1 study evaluating intracranial (IC) responses of adagrasib in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC with active and untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases. With a median follow up of 6.6 months, 25 patients with active, untreated CNS metastases were enrolled in the study and treated with adagrasib 600mg BID, as of data cutoff date of December 2021. Of the radiographically evaluable patients (n=19), results showed an IC ORR of 32% by modified response assessment in neuro-oncology-brain metastases (modified RANO-BM) by BICR. Three patients achieved a complete response and three patients achieved a partial response. The IC disease control rate was 84%, and concordance of disease control between systemic and IC responses was 88%.

On June 6, 2022, we also provided updated results from the Phase 1b cohort of the KRYSTAL-1 trial evaluating the combination of adagrasib and a PD-1 inhibitor (pembrolizumab) in eight patients with KRAS G12C-mutated first-line NSCLC. The Phase 1b data showed adagrasib 400mg BID plus pembrolizumab had a manageable tolerability profile with no TRAEs leading to dose discontinuation. Of the seven patients evaluable for a response as of January 15, 2022, four had a confirmed RECIST-defined partial response and one additional patient, who is still on study, experienced 49% tumor regression in the first scan, which allowed for tumor resection prior to achieving a RECIST-defined confirmed response. The DCR was 100%, with all seven patients exhibiting tumor regression ranging from 37% to 81%. With a median duration of treatment of 12.9 months, four of the seven patients remained on treatment, as of the data cutoff date, and neither the median DOR nor median PFS had been reached.

On October 9, 2021, we presented preliminary results from a cohort of the KRYSTAL-1 clinical trial evaluating adagrasib at 600mg BID as monotherapy for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma harboring a KRAS G12C mutation arm (n=12). Of the evaluable patients (n=10), preliminary results showed an investigator assessed ORR of 50%, including an unconfirmed PR, and a DCR of 100%.

26

Preliminary efficacy data was assessed as of August 30, 2020 in six patients with advanced solid tumors, other than NSCLC and CRC, treated with adagrasib as a monotherapy at 600mg BID dose from a Phase 1/1b cohort. One patient each with pancreatic, ovarian, endometrial and cholangiocarcinoma tumors were treated and had a confirmed PR to therapy. Two appendiceal cancer patients had stable disease and all six eligible patients remained on treatment.

KRYSTAL-7

In December 2020, we initiated KRYSTAL-7, the Phase 2 clinical trial includes the evaluation of the combination of adagrasib at 400mg BID with a PD-1 inhibitor (pembrolizumab) in patients with first-line NSCLC stratified by <1% Tumor Proportion Score (“TPS”) score and ≥1% TPS score. The study was fully enrolled in July 2023.

On December 7, 2022, we presented preliminary results from the KRYSTAL-7 Phase 2 trial and KRYSTAL-1 Phase 1b cohort evaluating adagrasib (400mg twice daily) concurrently combined with pembrolizumab in patients for the treatment of first-line NSCLC harboring a KRAS G12C mutation across all PD-L1 subgroups.

Adagrasib in combination with pembrolizumab demonstrated favorable tolerability and promising preliminary efficacy in patients with first-line advanced/metastatic NSCLC harboring a KRAS G12C mutation.

The KRYSTAL-7 and KRYSTAL-1 trials represented the largest dataset to date evaluating a KRAS G12C inhibitor in combination with a PD-1/L1 checkpoint inhibitor as a first-line treatment for patients with NSCLC harboring a KRAS G12C mutation.

75 patients were enrolled and evaluable for safety with a median follow-up of 3.5 months (duration of treatment: two months). TRAEs were Grade 1-2 (39%), Grade 3 (40%) and Grade 4 (4%); there were no Grade 5 TRAEs observed. TRAEs led to discontinuation of both adagrasib and pembrolizumab in two patients and only pembrolizumab in two patients; there were no patients who discontinued only adagrasib due to a TRAE.

Increases in alanine transaminase (“ALT”)/aspartate transaminase (“AST”) were consistent with either agent as a monotherapy with Grade 3 TRAEs being highest grade and total incidence of Grade 3 liver function test (“LFT”) increases of 9%. Median time from onset to an increase in ALT and AST was 26 and 37 days, respectively, and only one patient experienced new onset treatment-related ALT/AST increase after 3 months.

Of patients who were clinically evaluable and received at least one on-study scan (n=53), adagrasib and pembrolizumab demonstrated promising preliminary clinical activity across all PD-L1 subgroups with an ORR of 49%.

In a subset of response-evaluable patients enrolled at least six months prior to the data cutoff date, six of 26 clinical responses occurred at second on-study scan or later, and the ORR was 56%.

Seven evaluable patients enrolled in the KRYSTAL-1 Phase 1b cohort (with a median follow-up of 19.3 months) reported an ORR of 57% and a DCR of 100%. The four patients who responded maintained response for over nine months while two continued to receive treatment and remain in response beyond 18 months.

Safety in the KRYSTAL-1 Phase 1b cohort was consistent with what has been observed in KRYSTAL-7 and demonstrated a manageable safety profile with no Grade 4-5 TRAEs.

On August 8, 2023, we presented updated preliminary results from the KRYSTAL-7 Phase 2 trial and KRYSTAL-1 Phase 1b cohort evaluating adagrasib (400mg twice daily) concurrently combined with pembrolizumab in patients for the treatment of first-line NSCLC harboring a KRAS G12C mutation across all PD-L1 subgroups as of the data cutoff date of February 28, 2023.

147 patients were enrolled and evaluable for safety with a median follow-up of 6.4 months. TRAEs were Grade 1 (12%), Grade-2 (18%), Grade 3 (52%) and Grade 4 (9%); there were no Grade 5 TRAEs observed. TRAEs led to discontinuation of either adagrasib or pembrolizumab in 18% of patients and both adagrasib and pembrolizumab in 4% of patients.

The combination demonstrated low rates of clinically meaningful liver TRAEs. Liver-related TRAEs lead to discontinuation in just 2 patients. Median time from onset to an increase in ALT and AST was 32 and 42 days, respectively, and only 4 patients experienced new onset treatment-related ALT/AST increase after 3 months.
27


In patients with TPS scores of ≥50% (n=56), adagrasib plus pembrolizumab demonstrated promising preliminary clinical activity with an ORR in the full analysis set of 63%. Of patients who were clinically evaluable and received at least one on-study scan (n=49), adagrasib plus pembrolizumab demonstrated an ORR of 71%.

As of the data cutoff date, neither the median DOR nor median PFS had been reached.

In patients with TPS scores of <50%, these updated data showed clinical activity, but suggest that the adagrasib plus pembrolizumab regimen will not be sufficient to displace the existing standard of care (KEYNOTE-189 regimen of carboplatin, pemetrexed and pembrolizumab) for these patients.

On October 20, 2023, we presented updated preliminary results from the KRYSTAL-7 Phase 2 trial evaluating adagrasib (400mg twice daily) concurrently combined with pembrolizumab in patients for the treatment of first-line NSCLC harboring a KRAS G12C mutation across all PD-L1 subgroups as of the data cutoff date of June 19, 2023.

148 patients were enrolled and evaluable for safety with a median follow-up of 8.7 months. There were two Grade 5 TRAEs, one each of pneumonitis and pneumonia. Immune-related TRAEs of any grade occurred in 18% of patients and grade ≥3 occurred in 5% of patients. TRAEs led to discontinuation of adagrasib in 6% of patients and pembrolizumab in 11% of patients. 4% of patients discontinued both drugs due to TRAEs.

Treatment-related hepatic events occurred in <10% of patients, and no patient discontinued both adagrasib and pembrolizumab due to ALT/AST increase or hepatic TRAEs.

In patients with TPS scores of ≥50% (n=51), adagrasib plus pembrolizumab demonstrated promising preliminary clinical activity with an ORR in the full analysis set of 63%. Of patients who experienced any grade hepatotoxicity, ORR was 70%.

As of the data cutoff date, neither the median DOR nor median PFS had been reached.



KRYSTAL-17

In the second quarter of 2023, we initiated an additional cohort in KRYSTAL-17, a Phase 2 clinical trial, evaluating adagrasib in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in patients with advanced first line NSCLC with TPS < 50%. Safety and preliminary efficacy data from this study will inform further development plans in patients with TPS < 50%.

KRYSTAL-10, KRYSTAL-12 and KRYSTAL-21

In the first quarter of 2021, we initiated two registration-enabling Phase 3 clinical trials. KRYSTAL-10 is evaluating the combination of adagrasib and an anti-EGFR antibody (cetuximab) randomized against chemotherapy in patients with second-line CRC. KRYSTAL-12 is evaluating adagrasib as a monotherapy randomized against docetaxel in patients with second-line NSCLC. In the second quarter of 2023, we initiated KRYSTAL-21, a phase 2 clinical trial evaluating adagrasib as a monotherapy under two dosing regimens. The study will evaluate the efficacy of two dosing regimens of adagrasib (600 mg BID without regard to food versus 400 mg BID with food) in NSCLC patients with KRAS G12C mutation and who have received prior treatment with a platinum-based regimen and immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

Adagrasib Development in Collaboration with Zai Lab Ltd. (“Zai”)

In May 2021, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Zai (the “Zai Agreement”). Under the Zai Agreement, we granted Zai the right to research, develop, manufacture and exclusively commercialize adagrasib in all indications in China, Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan (collectively, the “Zai Licensed Territory”), with Mirati retaining exclusive rights for the development, manufacture and commercialization of adagrasib outside the Zai Territory and certain co-commercialization, manufacture, and development rights in the Zai Licensed Territory. In June 2022, Zai initiated the first pivotal clinical trial of adagrasib for the first indication in China. In July 2022, Zai initiated the first pivotal clinical trial of adagrasib for the second indication in China.

Adagrasib Development in Collaboration with Others

28

In 2020, we initiated KRYSTAL-2, a Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating the combination of adagrasib and a SHP-2 inhibitor (TNO-155) in patients with advanced NSCLC and advanced CRC. In 2021, we initiated KRYSTAL-14, a Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating the combination of adagrasib and a SOS1 inhibitor (BI 1701963) in patients with advanced NSCLC, and we initiated KRYSTAL-16, a Phase 1/1b clinical trial evaluating the combination of adagrasib and a CDK4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib) in patients with advanced solid tumors with KRAS G12C mutation. The KRYSTAL-2, KRYSTAL-14 and KRYSTAL-16 clinical trials are no longer enrolling patients. In October 2022, we entered into a clinical collaboration with Aadi Bioscience to evaluate the combination of adagrasib with nab-sirolimus, a small molecule mTOR inhibitor complexed with human albumin, in patients with KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC and other solid tumors. In November 2022, we entered into a clinical collaboration with Incyte to evaluate the combination of adagrasib with INCB99280, a small molecule PD-L1 inhibitor, in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated solid tumors.

MRTX1133, a selective KRAS G12D inhibitor

MRTX1133, our lead KRAS G12D compound, is an investigational, selective, specific and potent inhibitor of KRAS G12D. On January 19, 2023, the FDA cleared the IND application of an oral formulation of MRTX1133 for clinical evaluation. We initiated a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating MRTX1133 in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancy harboring a G12D mutation in the first quarter of 2023. KRAS G12D mutations have been detected in over 25 different types of cancer, including pancreatic, colon, lung and endometrial adenocarcinoma. The prevalence of cancers harboring KRAS G12D mutations exceeds the prevalence of KRAS G12C positive cancers by greater than two-fold and is an area of significant unmet medical need.

On October 25, 2020 we announced initial preclinical in vivo data from MRTX1133. Based on preclinical analyses, MRTX1133 has a projected human half-life of greater than 50 hours and exhibits a low propensity for drug interactions or off-target pharmacology. MRTX1133 demonstrated tumor regression in multiple in vivo tumor models, including pancreatic and colorectal cancers. MRTX1133 has a low predicted target plasma concentration based on its potency and high unbound fraction.

Sitravatinib

Sitravatinib is a spectrum-selective kinase inhibitor designed to potently inhibit receptor tyrosine kinases (“RTK”s), including TAM family receptors (TYRO3, Axl, Mer), split family receptors (VEGFR2, KIT) and RET. In April 2022, we completed enrollment in SAPPHIRE, a Phase 3 clinical trial in second-line non-squamous NSCLC patients whose tumors have progressed on prior therapy with platinum-chemotherapy in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor or third-line non-squamous NSCLC patients who have received chemotherapy followed by a checkpoint inhibitor. SAPPHIRE compared the combination of sitravatinib plus nivolumab randomized to docetaxel. On May 24, 2023, we announced that the SAPPHIRE study did not meet its primary endpoint of overall survival at the final analysis. We do not currently have plans to pursue further clinical development of sitravatinib.

Sitravatinib Development in Collaboration with BeiGene

In January 2018, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with BeiGene (the “BeiGene Agreement”). Under the BeiGene Agreement, we granted BeiGene an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize sitravatinib in Asia (excluding Japan and certain other countries), Australia and New Zealand (the “BeiGene Licensed Territory”), and we retained exclusive rights for the development, manufacturing and commercialization of sitravatinib outside the BeiGene Licensed Territory.

In November 2018, we dosed the first patient under the BeiGene Agreement to assess the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary anti-tumor activity of sitravatinib in combination with BeiGene’s investigational anti-PD-1 antibody, tislelizumab, in patients with advanced solid tumors. BeiGene’s clinical trials will evaluate the combination of sitravatinib and tislelizumab in patients with solid tumors including NSCLC, renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular cancer, gastric cancer and ovarian cancer.

MRTX1719, a synthetic lethal MTA cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor

MRTX1719, our lead synthetic lethal MTA cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor is an investigational, selective, potent and orally available inhibitor targeting the PRMT5/MTA complex in methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP)-deleted cancers and is in Phase 1/2 clinical development. The MTAP deletion is present in approximately 10% of all cancers and is the most frequently observed gene deletion event (MTAP/CDKN2A) across several cancer types. Cancers with an MTAP deletion, such as pancreatic, lung, and bladder cancers, are associated with a poor prognosis, representing a significant unmet medical need.

29

In preclinical studies, MRTX1719 has demonstrated a greater than 70-fold selectivity for MTAP-deleted cells relative to normal cells and demonstrated near complete and sustained inhibition of PRMT5 in tumor xenografts resulting in significant tumor growth inhibition or tumor regression in MTAP-deleted tumor models. The ability to target the PRMT5/MTA complex provides an opportunity to selectively target tumor cells harboring the MTAP gene deletion which exhibit an abnormally high level of MTA (methylthioadenosine) compared with normal cells. This is anticipated to provide an increased therapeutic index relative to first generation PRMT5 inhibitors that do not specifically target the PRMT5/MTA complex. In the first quarter of 2022, we initiated a Phase 1/2 multiple expansion cohort trial to evaluate MRTX1719 in patients with advanced, unresectable or metastatic solid tumor malignancy with homozygous deletion of the MTAP gene. In August 2022, the FDA granted Fast Track Designation to MRTX1719. In April 2023, MRTX1719 had been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA for the treatment of mesothelioma.

On August 8, 2023, we presented preliminary results from a Phase 1/2 multiple expansion cohort trial to evaluate MRTX1719 in patients with advanced, unresectable or metastatic solid tumor malignancy with homozygous deletion of the MTAP gene.

As of a June 13, 2023 data cut, 33 patients were evaluable for safety across 6 dose levels. 21 patients were evaluable for clinical response, including 18 patients at therapeutic dose levels, defined as doses ≥ 100 mg once daily (“QD”).

Preliminary pharmacokinetic results were favorable and demonstrated roughly dose proportional increases in exposure among patients receiving therapeutic doses.

All 3 tumor biopsies evaluated showed that SDMA was completely extinguished following treatment at a dose of 200 mg QD.

Early signs of clinical activity have been achieved with 6 partial responses, including 5 confirmed responses and 1 unconfirmed response, out of the 18 patients evaluable for response at therapeutic dose levels. Responses were observed across multiple dose levels and tumor types including non-small cell lung cancer, mesothelioma, biliary tract tumors, melanoma, and malignant peripheral nerve sheathe tumor. The unconfirmed response was observed shortly after data cutoff date.

MRTX1719 demonstrated a manageable safety profile. The most frequently reported treatment related adverse events were nausea, vomiting and fatigue and the vast majority were Grade 1 or 2. Grade 3 treatment related adverse events were observed in only 5/33 patients (15.2%). Dose-limiting bone marrow toxicities, which were associated with non-selective PRMT5 inhibitors, were not observed at any dose level.

MRTX0902, a selective SOS1 inhibitor

MRTX0902 is a potent, selective SOS1 inhibitor, designed to improve anti-tumor efficacy in combination with targeted RAS/mitogen-activated protein kinase (“MAPK”)-pathway and/or receptor tyrosine kinase (“RTK”) inhibitors. MRTX0902 disrupts the KRAS-SOS1 interaction and shifts the equilibrium of KRAS from an active to inactive state. The SOS protein is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (“GEF”) that facilitates the ability of KRAS to turnover from its GDP-loaded “off” state to its GTP-loaded “on” state, a critical step to enable productive KRAS effector binding and activation of downstream signaling. MRTX0902 has the potential to limit cancer growth arising from a variety of mutations (e.g. KRAS or EGFR) that result in activation of the KRAS pathway. MRTX0902 exhibits favorable potency, selectivity and oral exposure characteristics and shows improved anti-tumor efficacy in combination with inhibitors of KRAS, MEK, and EGFR in pre-clinical models. We filed an IND with the FDA for MRTX0902 and received Notice to Proceed authorization from FDA in August 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we initiated a Phase 1/2 multiple expansion cohort trial with MRTX0902. In December 2022, the FDA granted Fast Track Designation to MRTX0902. In July 2023, we initiated a cohort within the Phase 1/2 trial evaluating the combination of MRTX0902 plus adagrasib.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Product revenue, net

Product revenue, net relates to sales of KRAZATI, which received approval by the FDA and launched commercially in the U.S. in December 2022. Product revenue, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $16.4 million and $36.1 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, $1.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of product revenue, net relates to sales of KRAZATI to a third-party commercial customer for its clinical trials. There was no product revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

License and collaboration revenues

License and collaboration revenues relate to the Zai Agreement under which Zai was granted an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize adagrasib in the Zai Licensed Territory, and the BeiGene Agreement under which BeiGene was granted an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize sitravatinib in the BeiGene Licensed Territory.

The Company earned zero and $1.2 million of license and collaboration revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, related to clinical supply revenue under the Zai Agreement. The Company earned $5.0 million and $10.0 million in milestone payments under the Zai Agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and earned $0.3 million and $1.4 million related to clinical supply revenue under the Zai Agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Cost of product revenue

Cost of product revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and consisted of product manufacturing and distribution costs for KRAZATI and royalties incurred on net sales of KRAZATI owed to our collaborative partner. Product sold during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 generally consisted of drug product that was previously charged to research and development expense prior to FDA approval of KRAZATI, which favorably impacted our cost of product revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Had the previously expensed inventory been capitalized and recognized when sold, our total cost of product revenue with these manufacturing costs included for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 would have increased by approximately $1.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively. We will continue to have a lower cost of product revenue that excludes the cost of active pharmaceutical ingredient that was produced prior to FDA approval, which we expect to be the case for the near-term, and we do not expect our cost of product revenue for KRAZATI to increase significantly as a percentage of product revenue, net in future periods as we continue to produce inventory for future sales. As KRAZATI was approved in December 2022, there was no cost of product revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
32


Cost of product revenue - intangible asset amortization

Cost of product revenue - intangible asset amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and represents the amortization expense attributable to our finite-lived intangible asset, which resulted from the capitalization of a milestone payment due under a license and collaboration agreement relating to the first commercial sale of KRAZATI in the U.S. There was no cost of product revenue - intangible asset amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of:

salaries and related expenses for personnel, including share-based compensation;

fees paid to external service providers such as Clinical Research Organizations (“CROs”) and contract manufacturing organizations related to clinical trials, including contractual obligations for clinical development, clinical sites, manufacturing and scale-up, formulation of clinical drug supplies and manufacturing costs of commercial inventory prior to the approval of KRAZATI;

fees paid to contract service providers related to drug discovery efforts including chemistry and biology services;

license fees paid in connection with our early discovery efforts; and

costs for allocated facilities and depreciation of equipment.

We record research and development expenses as incurred.

Our research and development efforts during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were focused on our clinical development programs and our preclinical programs. The following table summarizes our research and development expenses (in thousands):

*On May 24, 2023, we announced that the SAPPHIRE study did not meet its primary endpoint of overall survival at the final analysis. We do not currently have plans to pursue further clinical development of sitravatinib.

33

Research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $114.8 million and $365.6 million, respectively, compared to $131.1 million and $390.4 million for the same periods in 2022, respectively.

The decrease of $16.3 million and $24.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, respectively, primarily related to a decrease in third-party research and development costs, driven by a decrease in sitravatinib clinical development costs as we completed enrollment in our SAPPHIRE Phase 3 clinical trial in the second quarter of 2022 and we are no longer pursuing further clinical development of sitravatinib after the study did not meet its primary endpoint. Additionally, there was a decrease in share-based compensation due to a decrease in the fair value of equity grants awarded during the period and a decrease in headcount in the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was partially offset by increases in our earlier stage clinical development programs such as MRTX1133 which began a Phase 1 clinical trial in the first quarter of 2023.

At this time, due to the risks inherent in the clinical development process and product development programs, we are unable to estimate with any certainty the costs we will incur in the continued development of our clinical programs and early discovery programs. The process of conducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval and manufacturing scale-up to support expanded development and potential future commercialization is costly and time consuming. Any failure by us or delay in completing clinical trials, manufacturing scale up or in obtaining regulatory approvals could lead to increased research and development expense and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We expect that our research and development expenses may increase if we are successful in advancing our clinical programs or our other preclinical programs into more advanced stages of clinical development.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of salaries and related benefits, including share-based compensation, related to our executive, commercial and support functions. Other selling, general and administrative expenses include commercial and marketing-related activities, professional fees, rent and utilities and insurance.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $72.0 million and $221.0 million compared to $60.8 million and $169.0 million for the same periods in 2022, respectively. The increase of $11.2 million and $52.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, respectively, was primarily due to an increase in headcount-related costs, including share-based compensation and salaries, and commercial-related costs to support the marketing and sales of KRAZATI.

Other Income, Net

Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $10.2 million, compared to $13.1 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease of $2.9 million was primarily due to a $9.5 million gain recognized on reorganization of one of our subsidiaries in the three months ended September 30, 2022, which represented the cumulative foreign currency translation gain within accumulated other comprehensive income, and was partially offset by an increase of $6.9 million in interest income in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.
Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $29.7 million, compared to $9.7 million for the same period in 2022. The increase of $20.0 million was primarily due to an increase of $22.9 million in interest income and a favorable impact of $6.4 million from the change in the fair value of the long-term investment in ORIC. The increase was partially offset by a $9.5 million gain recognized on reorganization of one of our subsidiaries, which represented the cumulative foreign currency translation gain within accumulated other comprehensive income in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We regularly evaluate our liquidity and capital resources, including our access to external capital, to ensure we can adequately meet our principal cash requirements, which include funding research and development programs, including discovery research, preclinical and clinical development activities, commercial operating costs and commitments.

Sources of Liquidity

On October 8, 2023, we announced that we entered into the Merger Agreement with BMS and Merger Sub. In that agreement, we have agreed to various covenants, including, among others, agreements to conduct our business in the ordinary
34

course consistent with past practice in all material respects during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time. Outside of certain limited exceptions, we may not take, authorize, or agree or commit to take, certain actions without BMS’s consent, including, but not limited to: (i) acquiring businesses and disposing significant assets; (ii) incurring capital expenditures above specified thresholds; (iii) issuing equity; (iv) incurring indebtedness; and (v) repurchasing or paying dividends on ordinary shares. We do not believe these restrictions will prevent us from being able to fund our operations, working capital needs or capital expenditure requirements. The discussion that follows assumes the Merger is not consummated and we continue to operate as an independent entity.

To date, we have funded our operations primarily through the sale of our common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase our common stock, and, through up-front payments, research funding and milestone payments under collaborative arrangements. Upon the approval of KRAZATI, we also began funding our operations through the sale of KRAZATI.

As of September 30, 2023, we had $976.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments compared to $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2022.

In August 2023, we completed a public offering of our common stock and warrants that generated net proceeds of $332.5 million. In 2022, we received net proceeds of $155.0 million from the issuance and sale of 1,880,097 shares of our common stock under our At the Market Facility (the “Sales Agreement”). Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, we may, from time to time, sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $500.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, approximately $345.0 million remained available for issuance under the Sales Agreement.

Based on our current and anticipated level of operations, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will provide us with sufficient liquidity to finance our cash requirements for at least one year from the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed with the SEC.

Since inception, we have primarily devoted our resources to funding research and development programs, including discovery research, preclinical and clinical development activities and the commercial launch of KRAZATI. To date, we have generated minimal product revenue. If the Merger is not timely consummated, we will likely need to raise additional capital to fund future operations. The amount and timing of future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including if and when the Merger is consummated, the timing and results of our ongoing development efforts, the potential expansion of our current development programs, potential new development programs and related selling, general and administrative support. If the Merger is not timely consummated, we anticipate that we will seek to fund our operations through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, such as potential collaboration agreements. We cannot make assurances that anticipated additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. Although we have previously been successful in obtaining financing through our equity securities offerings, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future. As a result of adverse geopolitical and macroeconomic developments, such as the ongoing military conflict between Ukraine and Russia and related sanctions, actual and anticipated changes in interest rates, economic inflation and the responses by central banking authorities to control such inflation, the global credit and financial markets have experienced volatility and disruptions, including severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates and uncertainty about economic stability. There can be no assurance that deterioration in credit and financial markets and confidence in economic conditions will not occur. If equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to obtain, more costly and/or more dilutive.

Uses of Liquidity

Our future funding requirements will depend on the outcome of the proposed Merger with BMS.

If the Merger is not successful, and we continue to operate as a stand-alone entity, we expect that we will continue to utilize our capital to fund research and development activities as well as commercialization activities associated with our approved drug. We invest a significant amount of capital in preclinical and clinical development costs, including the cost of manufacturing our product candidates and commercially available drug.

It can take a significant amount of time and capital resources to successfully complete all stages of research and development and commercialization of a product candidate. The length of time and funding required cannot be accurately estimated as it varies substantially according to the type, complexity, novelty and intended use of a product candidate. The funding necessary to execute product development and commercialization is uncertain and we are unable to accurately predict when or if we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. The funding necessary to execute our business strategies is subject to numerous uncertainties and we may be required to make substantial expenditures if unforeseen difficulties arise in certain areas of our business. In particular, our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
35


the success of our commercialization efforts and market acceptance of KRAZATI (approved by the FDA and launched commercially in the U.S. in December 2022) and other drug product candidates;

the timing and outcome of regulatory review of KRAZATI and other drug product candidates;

continued progress in our research and development and clinical development programs;

the cost of manufacturing clinical supply for our clinical trials and commercial manufacturing; and

addition and retention of key research, development and commercial personnel.

Contractual Obligations

Our principal commitments as of September 30, 2023 include both short and long-term future obligations.

Merger Agreement

On October 8, 2023, we entered into the Merger Agreement with BMS. If we are unable to satisfy certain closing conditions under the Merger Agreement, or if other mutual closing conditions are not satisfied, BMS will not be obligated to complete the Merger. Under certain circumstances detailed in the Merger Agreement, we could be required to pay BMS a termination fee of $168 million.

Operating Lease

We have a non-cancelable operating lease agreement where we are contractually obligated for certain lease payment amounts. For more information regarding our operating lease obligations, refer to Note 11 in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Pfizer Agreement

The license and collaboration agreement with Array BioPharma, Inc. (“Array,” acquired by Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”)) includes potential future development and sales milestone payments and royalties arising from the collaboration. For more information, refer to Note 9 in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other

We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with clinical sites for the conduct of clinical trials, CROs for clinical research studies, professional consultants for expert advice and other vendors for clinical and commercial manufacturing or other services. These contracts generally provide for termination on notice, and therefore are cancelable contracts.

Net cash used in operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $465.3 million, compared to net cash used of $441.8 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of $23.5 million. Cash used in operating activities during 2023 primarily related to our net loss of $523.4 million, adjusted for non-cash items such as non-cash share-based compensation expense of $130.9 million and net cash outflows from a change in our operating assets and liabilities of $59.5 million. Cash used in operating activities during 2022 primarily related to our net loss of $538.4 million, adjusted for non-cash share-based compensation expense of $124.6 million and net cash outflows from a change in our operating assets and liabilities of $27.0 million.

Net cash provided by investing activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were inflows of $148.5 million and $166.5 million, respectively, and reflect the sales and maturities of short-term investments, offset by purchases of short-term investments and property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $340.3 million and $161.0 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of $332.5 million of net proceeds received from the issuance of common stock and warrants in a public offering in August, 2023, and $155.0 million of net proceeds received from the sale of our common stock under the amended and restated sales agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

ITEM 3. 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Some of our short-term investments have market risk in that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the fair value of the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. We invest our excess cash primarily in commercial paper and debt instruments of financial institutions, corporations, U.S. government-sponsored agencies and the U.S. Treasury. We mitigate credit risk by maintaining a well-diversified portfolio and limiting the amount of investment exposure as to institution, maturity and investment type. We invest our excess cash in accordance with our investment policy.

Because of the short-term maturities of our cash equivalents and short-term investments, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have any significant impact on the realized value of our investments. If a 10% change in interest rates were to have occurred on September 30, 2023, this change would not have had a material effect on the fair value of our investment portfolio as of that date.

ITEM 4. 
Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on that evaluation, management has concluded that as of September 30, 2023, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level and we believe the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As required by Rule 13a-15(d) and Rule 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act, our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Summary of Risk Factors

Risks Related to the Pending Transaction with BMS
We may not complete the pending transaction with BMS within the time frame we anticipate or at all, including because of the failure to satisfy required closing conditions under the Merger Agreement. This could have an adverse effect on our business, financial results, and/or operations.
The pendency of the transaction with BMS could adversely affect our business, financial results and/or operations, including by adversely affecting business relationships with employees and third parties and by diverting the attention of management from day-to-day operations.
While the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are subject to restrictions on our business activities, which may prevent us from pursuing strategic business opportunities and taking other actions we may consider advantageous.
In certain instances, the Merger Agreement requires us to pay a termination fee to BMS, which could require us to use available cash that would have otherwise been available for general corporate purposes.
We have incurred, and will continue to incur, direct and indirect costs as a result of the pending transaction with BMS.

Risks Related to our Business and Industry
Our prospects are highly dependent on the successful commercialization of KRAZATI, which received marketing approval in December 2022 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), for the treatment of adult patients with previously treated KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) who have received prior systemic therapy. To the extent KRAZATI is not commercially successful, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected and the price of our common stock would likely decline.
Other than KRAZATI, our research and development programs and product candidates are in development. As a result, we are unable to predict if or when we will successfully develop or commercialize our other product candidates.
Our product candidates, as well as KRAZATI, are subject to extensive regulation, which can be costly and time consuming, cause delays, or prevent approval of such product candidates for commercialization.
Prior to KRAZATI, we have not, as an organization, launched or commercialized a product. If we are unable to effectively commercialize KRAZATI, we may not be able to generate meaningful product revenues.
KRAZATI may not gain acceptance among physicians, patients, and the medical community, thereby limiting our potential to generate revenues.
If we fail to obtain coverage and adequate reimbursement for KRAZATI or other future products, our revenue-generating ability will be diminished and there is no assurance that the anticipated market for our products will be sustained.
If our competitors develop and market products that are more effective than KRAZATI or our other product candidates, they may reduce or eliminate our commercial opportunity.
39

We rely upon third-party contractors and service providers for the execution of some aspects of our development programs. Failure of these collaborators to provide services of a suitable quality and within acceptable timeframes may cause the delay or failure of our development programs.
Our product candidates may cause undesirable side effects or have other properties that could delay or prevent their regulatory approval, limit the commercial profile of an approved product label, including KRAZATI's, or result in significant negative consequences following marketing approval, if any.
We are subject to competition for our skilled personnel and may experience challenges in identifying and retaining key personnel that could impair our ability to conduct our operations effectively.

Risks Related to our Financial Position and Capital Requirements
We will require additional financing and may be unable to raise sufficient capital, which could lead us to delay, reduce or abandon development programs.
The Merger Agreement puts certain limitations on our ability to raise capital and finance our operations in the absence of consent from BMS.

Risks Related to our Intellectual Property
We may not obtain adequate protection for our product and product candidates through patents and other intellectual property rights and as such, our competitive advantage in the marketplace may be compromised.

Risks Related to the Pending Transaction with BMS

We may not complete the pending transaction with BMS within the time frame we anticipate or at all, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial results, and/or operations.*

On October 8, 2023, the Company announced it entered into the Merger Agreement with BMS and Merger Sub, providing for the Merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of BMS.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, without limitation, the absence of certain legal restraints preventing or otherwise making illegal the consummation of the Merger, no Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company having occurred since the signing of the Merger Agreement, the expiration or termination of any waiting periods under the HSR Act applicable to the Merger or of any commitments by the parties not to consummate the Merger before a certain date under a timing agreement, the obtainment of any clearance or affirmative approvals applicable to the Merger under the antitrust and foreign direct investment laws of other applicable jurisdictions, and the adoption of the Merger Agreement by holders of Company common stock representing at least a majority of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon. In addition, the Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain specified circumstances, including, but not limited to, a change in the recommendation of our Board of Directors or a termination of the Merger Agreement by us to enter into an agreement for a “Superior Offer,” as defined in the Merger Agreement. As a result, we cannot assure you that the transaction with BMS will be completed, or that, if completed, it will be exactly on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement or within the expected time frame.

If the transaction is not completed within the expected time frame or at all, we may be subject to a number of material risks. The price of our common stock may decline to the extent that current market prices of our common stock reflect a market assumption that the transaction will be completed. We could be required to pay BMS a termination fee of $168 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated under specific circumstances described in the Merger Agreement. The failure to complete the transaction also may result in negative publicity and negatively affect our relationship with our stockholders, employees, collaborators, customers, regulators, and other business partners. We may also be required to devote significant time and resources to litigation related to any failure to complete the Merger or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against us to perform our obligations under the Merger Agreement.

The pendency of the transaction with BMS could adversely affect our business, financial results and/or operations.*

Our efforts to complete the transaction could cause substantial disruptions in, and create uncertainty surrounding, our business, which may materially adversely affect our results of operation and our business. Uncertainty as to whether the transaction will be completed may affect our ability to recruit prospective employees or to retain and motivate existing employees. Employee retention may be particularly challenging while the transaction is pending because employees may experience uncertainty about their roles following consummation of the transaction. A substantial amount of our management’s and employees’ attention is being directed toward the completion of the transaction and thus is being diverted from our day-to-
40

day operations. Uncertainty as to our future could adversely affect our business and our relationship with collaborators, vendors, customers, regulators, and other business partners. For example, vendors, collaborators, and other counterparties may defer decisions concerning working with us, or seek to change existing business relationships with us. Changes to or termination of existing business relationships could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition, as well as the market price of our common stock. The adverse effects of the pendency of the transaction could be exacerbated by any delays in completion of the transaction or termination of the Merger Agreement.

While the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are subject to restrictions on our business activities.*

While the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are subject to restrictions on our business activities, generally requiring us to conduct our business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice in all material respects, and subjecting us to a variety of specified restrictions absent BMS’s prior consent. These limitations include, among other things, restrictions on our ability to acquire other businesses and assets, dispose of our assets, make investments, enter into certain contracts, repurchase or issue securities, pay dividends, make capital expenditures, take certain actions relating to intellectual property, amend our organizational documents, and incur indebtedness. These restrictions could prevent us from pursuing strategic business opportunities, taking actions with respect to our business that we may consider advantageous and responding effectively and/or timely to competitive pressures and industry developments, and may, as a result, materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In certain instances, the Merger Agreement requires us to pay a termination fee to BMS, which could require us to use available cash that would have otherwise been available for general corporate purposes.*

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we may be required to pay BMS a termination fee of $168 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated under specific circumstances described in the Merger Agreement, including, but not limited to, in connection with a change in the recommendation of our Board of Directors or a termination of the Merger Agreement by us to enter into an agreement for a “Superior Offer,” as defined in the Merger Agreement. If the Merger Agreement is terminated under such circumstances, the termination fee we may be required to pay under the Merger Agreement may require us to use available cash that would have otherwise been available for general corporate purposes and other uses. For these and other reasons, termination of the Merger Agreement could materially and adversely affect our business operations and financial condition, which in turn would materially and adversely affect the price of our common stock.

We have incurred, and will continue to incur, direct and indirect costs as a result of the pending transaction with BMS.*

We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs and expenses, including fees for professional services and other transaction costs, in connection with the pending transaction. We must pay substantially all of these costs and expenses whether or not the transaction is completed.

There are a number of factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or the timing of these costs and expenses.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our near-term revenues are highly dependent on the successful commercialization of KRAZATI, which received marketing approval in December 2022 from the FDA for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. To the extent KRAZATI is not commercially successful, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected and the price of our common stock would likely decline.

KRAZATI is our only drug that has been approved for sale and it has only been approved for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC who have received at least one prior systemic therapy in the United States. We are focusing a significant portion of our activities and resources on KRAZATI, and we believe our near-term revenues are highly dependent on, and a meaningful portion of the value of our company relates to, our ability to successfully commercialize KRAZATI in the United States.

Successful commercialization of KRAZATI is subject to many risks. Prior to KRAZATI, we have not, as an organization, launched or commercialized a product, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so successfully with KRAZATI for this indication. There are numerous examples of unsuccessful product launches and failures to meet high expectations of market potential, including by pharmaceutical companies with more experience and resources than we have.
41

The commercial success of KRAZATI depends on the extent to which patients and physicians accept and adopt KRAZATI as a treatment for patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC who have received at least one prior systemic therapy, and we do not know whether our or others’ estimates in this regard will be accurate. For example, if the patient population suffering from KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC who have received prior systemic therapy is smaller than we estimate or if physicians are unwilling to prescribe or patients are unwilling to take KRAZATI for any reason, the commercial potential of KRAZATI will be limited. It is too soon to tell how physicians, patients and payors will respond to the pricing of KRAZATI. Physicians may not prescribe KRAZATI and patients may be unwilling to use KRAZATI if coverage is not provided or reimbursement is inadequate to cover a significant portion of the cost. Additionally, any negative development for KRAZATI in accelerated approval requirements, or in clinical development in additional indications, or in regulatory processes in other jurisdictions, may adversely impact the commercial results and potential of KRAZATI. Thus, significant uncertainty remains regarding the commercial potential of KRAZATI.

If the launch or commercialization of KRAZATI is unsuccessful or perceived as disappointing, our stock price could decline significantly and the long-term success of the product and our company could be harmed.

If we do not obtain regulatory approval of adagrasib for other indications in the United States, or for any indications in foreign jurisdictions, we will not be able to market adagrasib for other indications or in other jurisdictions, which will negatively impact the potential of our commercial revenues.*

The research, testing, manufacturing, labeling, approval, sale, import, export, marketing, and distribution of pharmaceutical product candidates are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities in the United States and other countries, whose regulations differ from country to country. We will be required to comply with different regulations and policies of the jurisdictions where we seek approval for our product candidates, and we have not yet identified all of the requirements that we will need to satisfy to submit adagrasib for approval for other indications or in other jurisdictions. For example, we are pursuing an expansion strategy to bring adagrasib to countries within the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the United Kingdom (“UK”). In particular, in April 2022, we submitted a Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”), to the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), for adagrasib for the treatment of adult patients with NSCLC harboring the KRAS G12C mutation who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. On July 21, 2023, we announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (“CHMP”) of the EMA adopted a negative opinion on the application for conditional marketing authorisation for KRAZATI, for the treatment of KRAS G12C-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The evaluation of the full MAA is not impacted and will be considered by the CHMP following the data from KRYSTAL-12, a Phase 3 clinical study of adagrasib versus docetaxel in second line NSCLC patients. On July 27, 2023 we submitted a request for re-examination to the CHMP. If we do not receive marketing approval for adagrasib for any other indication or from any regulatory agency other than the FDA, we will not be able to commercialize adagrasib for any other indication in the United States or for any indication in any other jurisdiction. Even if we do receive additional regulatory approvals, we may not be successful in commercializing those opportunities.

Even though the FDA has granted approval of KRAZATI for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC who have received at least one prior systemic therapy, the terms of the approval may limit its commercial potential. Additionally, KRAZATI is still subject to substantial, ongoing regulatory requirements.

Even though the FDA has granted approval of KRAZATI, the scope and terms of the approval may limit our ability to commercialize KRAZATI and, therefore, our ability to generate substantial sales revenues. The FDA has approved KRAZATI only for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC who have received at least one prior systemic therapy.

Additionally, in connection with the FDA grant of accelerated approval, we are required to complete KRYSTAL-12 and other post-marketing commitments. If we fail to comply with accelerated approval requirements, or if the final results of KRYSTAL-12 and the other post-marketing commitments, or any other ongoing clinical studies of adagrasib, are negative, the FDA could decide to withdraw approval, add warnings or narrow the approved indication in the product label.

The manufacturing processes, labeling, packaging, distribution, adverse event reporting, storage, advertising, promotion and recordkeeping for KRAZATI will also continue to be subject to extensive and ongoing regulatory requirements. These requirements include submissions of safety and other post-marketing information and reports, registration, as well as continued compliance with current good manufacturing processes, good clinical practices, ICH regulations and good laboratory practices, which are regulations and guidelines enforced by the FDA for all of our nonclinical and clinical development and for any clinical trials that we conduct post-approval.

42

Discovery of any issues post-approval, including any safety concerns, such as unexpected side effects or drug-drug interaction problems, adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or concerns over misuse or abuse of the product, problems with the facility where the product is manufactured, packaged or distributed, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in, among other things, restrictions on KRAZATI or on us, including:

withdrawal of approval, addition of warnings or narrowing of the approved indication in the product label;

requirement of a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy to mitigate the risk of off-label use in populations where the FDA may believe that the potential risks of use may outweigh its benefits;

voluntary or mandatory recalls;

warning letters;

suspension of any ongoing clinical studies;

refusal by the FDA or other regulatory authorities to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications filed by us, or suspension or revocation of product approvals;

restrictions on operations, including restrictions on the marketing or manufacturing of the product or the imposition of costly new manufacturing requirements; or

seizure or detention, or refusal to permit the import or export of products.

If any of these actions were to occur, we may have to discontinue the commercialization of KRAZATI, limit our sales and marketing efforts, conduct further post-approval studies, and/or discontinue or change any other ongoing clinical studies, which in turn could result in significant expense and delay or limit our ability to generate sales revenues.

KRAZATI has only been studied in a limited number of patients. Following commercial launch, KRAZATI will be available to a much larger number of patients, and we do not know whether the results of KRAZATI’s use in such larger number of patients will be consistent with the results from our clinical studies.

KRAZATI has been administered only to a limited number of patients in clinical studies. While the FDA granted accelerated approval of KRAZATI based on the data included in the NDA, including data from KRYSTAL-1 study, we do not know whether the results when a large number of patients are exposed to KRAZATI, including results related to safety and efficacy, will be consistent with the results from earlier clinical studies of KRAZATI that served as the basis for the approval of KRAZATI. New data relating to KRAZATI, including from adverse event reports, KRYSTAL-12 and our post-marketing commitments in the United States, and from other ongoing clinical studies, may result in changes to the product label and may adversely affect sales, or result in withdrawal of KRAZATI from the market. The FDA and regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions may also consider the new data in reviewing KRAZATI’s marketing applications for additional indications and/or in other jurisdictions, or impose post-approval requirements. If any of these actions were to occur, it could result in significant expense and delay or limit our ability to generate sales revenues.

Prior to KRAZATI, we have not, as an organization, launched or commercialized a product. If we are unable to effectively commercialize KRAZATI, we may not be able to generate meaningful product revenues.

We need to maintain and further develop our sales force, as we will be competing with other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to retain marketing and sales personnel. In the event we are unable to effectively maintain our commercial team, including our U.S. sales force, our ability to effectively commercialize KRAZATI will be limited, and we may not be able to generate meaningful product revenues.

KRAZATI may not gain widespread acceptance among physicians, patients, and the medical community, thereby limiting our potential to generate revenues.

The degree of market acceptance of any approved product candidate by physicians, healthcare professionals and third-party payors, and our profitability and growth will depend on a number of factors, including:

the ability to provide acceptable evidence of safety and efficacy;

43

the scope of the approved indication(s) for the product;

the inclusion of any warnings or contraindications in the product label;

the relative convenience and ease of administration;

the prevalence and severity of any adverse side effects;

the availability of alternative treatments;

pricing and cost effectiveness, which may be subject to regulatory control;

effectiveness of our or our collaborators’ sales and marketing strategy; and

our ability to obtain sufficient third-party insurance coverage or adequate reimbursement levels.

With respect to KRAZATI specifically, successful commercialization will depend on whether and to what extent physicians and pharmacies, over whom we have no control, determine to utilize KRAZATI at the price that we have selected. KRAZATI would be made available to treat patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. Because of this, it is particularly difficult to estimate KRAZATI’s market potential and how physicians, payors and patients will respond to the pricing of KRAZATI. Industry sources and analysts have a divergence of estimates for the near- and long-term market potential of KRAZATI, and a variety of assumptions directly impact the estimates for KRAZATI’s market potential, including assumptions regarding the prevalence of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC who have received at least one prior systemic therapy, the rate of diagnosis of KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC, the rate of physician and oncologist adoption of KRAZATI, the potential impact of payor restrictions regarding KRAZATI, and patient adherence and compliance rates. Small differences in these assumptions can lead to widely divergent estimates of the market potential of KRAZATI.

If we are unable to achieve and maintain adequate levels of third-party payor coverage and reimbursement for KRAZATI or any other product candidates, if approved, on reasonable pricing terms, their commercial success may be severely hindered.*

Successful sales of any approved product candidates, including KRAZATI, depend on the availability of adequate coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors. Patients who are prescribed medicine for the treatment of their conditions generally rely on third-party payors to reimburse all or part of the costs associated with their prescription drugs. Coverage and adequate reimbursement from governmental healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and commercial payors is critical to new product acceptance. Coverage decisions may depend upon clinical and economic standards that disfavor new drug products when more established or lower cost therapeutic alternatives are already available or subsequently become available. Even if we obtain coverage for KRAZATI, or other products we may market, the resulting reimbursement payment rates might not be adequate or may require co-payments that patients find unacceptably high. Patients may not use KRAZATI if coverage is not provided or reimbursement is inadequate to cover a significant portion of the cost of those products.

Payors may require documented proof that patients meet certain eligibility criteria in order to be reimbursed for KRAZATI. Payors may even require that pre-approval, or prior-authorization, be obtained from the payor for reimbursement of KRAZATI. Patients are unlikely to use KRAZATI and our other product candidates, if approved, unless coverage is provided and reimbursement is adequate to cover a significant portion of the cost of our products.

In addition, the market for KRAZATI and any of our other product candidates may depend significantly on access to third-party payors’ medical policies, drug formularies, or lists of medications for which third-party payors provide coverage and reimbursement. The industry competition to be included in such formularies often leads to downward pricing pressures on pharmaceutical companies, and we will be required to offer discounted rates to state Medicaid programs to ensure Medicaid coverage of our drugs. Also, third-party payors may refuse to include a particular branded drug in their formularies or otherwise restrict patient access to a branded drug when a less costly generic equivalent or other alternative is available, even if not approved for the indication for which KRAZATI is approved.

Third-party payors, whether foreign or domestic, or governmental or commercial, are developing increasingly sophisticated methods of controlling healthcare costs. The current environment is putting pressure on companies to price products below what they may feel is appropriate. Selling KRAZATI at less than an optimized price could impact our revenues and overall success as a company. In addition, in the United States, no uniform policy of coverage and reimbursement for drug
44

products exists among third-party payors. Therefore, coverage and reimbursement for KRAZATI may differ significantly from payor to payor. As a result, the coverage determination process is often a time-consuming and costly process that will require us to provide scientific and clinical support for the use of KRAZATI to each payor separately, with no assurance that coverage will be obtained. Further, coverage policies and third‑party reimbursement rates may change at any time. Even if favorable coverage and reimbursement status is attained for one or more drug products for which we receive regulatory approval, less favorable coverage policies and reimbursement rates may be implemented in the future. If we are unable to obtain and maintain coverage of, and adequate payment levels for, KRAZATI or any other products we may market to third-party payors, physicians may limit how much or under what circumstances they will prescribe or administer them, and patients may decline to purchase them. This in turn could affect our ability to successfully commercialize KRAZATI, or any other products we may market, and thereby adversely impact our profitability, results of operations, financial condition and future success.

Our research and development programs and product candidates are in development. As a result, we are unable to predict if or when we will successfully develop or commercialize our other product candidates.*

Our clinical-stage product candidates as well as our other pipeline assets will require significant further investment and regulatory approvals prior to commercialization. MRTX1719 is in a Phase 1 clinical trial, MRTX0902 is in Phase 1/2 clinical trial, and MRTX1133 has recently been cleared by the FDA to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial. In April 2022, we submitted an MAA to the EMA for adagrasib for the treatment of patients with NSCLC harboring the KRAS G12C mutation who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. On July 21, 2023, we announced that the CHMP adopted a negative opinion on the application for conditional marketing authorisation for KRAZATI, for the treatment of KRAS G12C-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The evaluation of the full MAA is not impacted and will be considered by the CHMP following the data from KRYSTAL-12, a Phase 3 clinical study of adagrasib versus docetaxel in second line NSCLC patients. On July 27, 2023, we submitted a request for re-examination to the CHMP. Each of our product candidates will require the selection of suitable patients for our clinical trials and additional clinical development, management of clinical, preclinical and manufacturing activities, obtaining regulatory approval, obtaining manufacturing supply, continued build out of a commercial organization, substantial investment and significant marketing efforts before we generate any revenues from product sales. We are not permitted to market or promote any of our product candidates before we receive regulatory approval from the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities, and we may never receive such regulatory approval for any of our product candidates. The treatment of cancer is a rapidly evolving field and will continue to evolve. By such time, if ever, as we may receive necessary regulatory approvals for our product candidates, the standard of care for the treatment of cancers may have evolved such that it would be necessary to modify our plans for full approval and commercial acceptance of our products may be limited by a change in the standard of care. In addition, some of our product development programs contemplate the development of companion diagnostics. Companion diagnostics are subject to regulation as medical devices and we or our collaborators may be required to obtain marketing approval for accompanying companion diagnostics before we may commercialize our product candidates.

Even if we obtain the required financing or establish a collaboration to enable us to conduct late-stage clinical development of our product candidates and pipeline assets, we cannot be certain that such clinical development would be successful, or that we will obtain regulatory approval or be able to successfully commercialize any of our product candidates and generate revenue. Success in preclinical testing and early clinical trials does not ensure that later clinical trials will be successful, and the clinical trial process may fail to demonstrate that our product candidates are safe and effective for their proposed uses. Any such failure could cause us to abandon further development of any one or more of our product candidates and may delay development of other product candidates. Product candidates in later stages of clinical trials may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy traits despite having progressed through preclinical studies and initial clinical trials. For example, in May 2023 we announced that sitravatinib failed to meet the primary endpoint of overall survival in the Phase 3 SAPPHIRE trial, despite having encouraging OS results in a prior Phase 2 trial. Any delay in, or termination of, our clinical trials will delay and possibly preclude the submission of any NDAs with the FDA and, ultimately, our ability to commercialize our product candidates and generate product revenue.

Other than our NDA for KRAZATI, we have not previously submitted an NDA to the FDA, and other than our MAA under review by the EMA for KRAZATI, we have not submitted MAAs or similar drug approval filings to comparable foreign authorities, for any product candidate, and we cannot be certain that any of our product candidates will receive regulatory approval. Further, our product candidates may not receive regulatory approval even if they are successful in clinical trials. If we do not receive regulatory approvals for our product candidates, we may not be able to continue our operations. Even if we successfully obtain regulatory approvals to market one or more of our product candidates, our revenues will be dependent, in part, upon our current collaborators’ and future collaborators’ ability to obtain regulatory approval for the companion diagnostics to be used with our product candidates, if required, and upon the size of the markets in the territories for which we gain regulatory approval and have commercial rights. If the markets for patient subsets that we are targeting are not as significant as we estimate, we may not generate significant revenues from sales of such products, if approved.
45


Further, even if any product candidate we develop was to receive marketing approval or be commercialized for use in combination with other existing therapies, we would continue to bear the risks that the FDA or similar foreign regulatory authorities could revoke approval of the therapy used in combination with our product candidate or that safety, efficacy, manufacturing or supply issues could arise with these existing therapies.

Our product candidates, as well as KRAZATI, are subject to extensive regulation, which can be costly and time consuming, cause delays, or prevent approval of such product candidates for commercialization.

The clinical development of product candidates is subject to extensive regulation by the FDA in the United States and by comparable regulatory authorities in foreign markets. Product development is a very lengthy and expensive process, and its outcome is inherently uncertain. The product development timeline can vary significantly based upon the product candidate’s novelty and complexity, and the applicable regulatory authority. For example, we are pursuing an expansion strategy to bring KRAZATI to countries within the EEA and the UK. The regulatory approval in other countries may include all the risks associated with FDA approval as well as additional, presently unanticipated, risks. Regulations are subject to change and regulatory agencies have significant discretion in the approval process.

Numerous statutes and regulations govern human testing and the manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the United States, Europe and other countries and regions where we intend to market our products. Such legislation and regulation bears upon, among other things, the approval of trial protocols and human testing, the approval of manufacturing facilities, safety of the product candidates, testing procedures and controlled research, review and approval of manufacturing, preclinical and clinical data prior to marketing approval including adherence to good manufacturing practices (“GMP”) during production and storage as well as regulation of marketing activities including advertising and labeling.

In order to obtain regulatory approval, including an NDA or marketing authorization application, for the commercial sale of any of our product candidates in the United States, EEA and other foreign market, we must demonstrate through preclinical studies and clinical trials, as well as extensive information regarding chemistry, manufacturing and controls (“CMC”), that the potential product is safe and effective for use in humans for each target indication. The failure to adequately demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a product under development could delay or prevent regulatory approval of our product candidates. Regulatory approval in one country does not ensure regulatory approval in another, but a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory approval in one country may negatively impact the regulatory process in others.

No assurance can be given that current regulations relating to regulatory approval will not change or become more stringent in the United States or foreign markets. Regulatory agencies may also require that additional trials be run in order to provide additional information regarding the safety or efficacy of any drug candidates for which we seek regulatory approval or require additional administrative review periods, including obtaining reimbursement and pricing approval in select markets. Moreover, any regulatory approval of a drug which is eventually obtained may entail limitations on the indicated uses for which that drug may be marketed. Furthermore, product approvals may be withdrawn or limited in some way if problems occur following initial marketing or if compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained. Regulatory agencies could become more risk averse to any side effects or set higher standards of safety and efficacy prior to reviewing or approving a product. This could result in a product not being approved. Any of the foregoing scenarios could materially harm the commercial prospects for our product candidates.

We may not be successful in establishing development and commercialization collaborations, which could adversely affect, and potentially prohibit, our ability to develop our product candidates.

Developing pharmaceutical products, conducting clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approval, establishing manufacturing capabilities and marketing approved products is expensive, and therefore we may seek to enter into additional collaborations with companies that have more resources and experience in order to continue to develop and commercialize our product candidates. We also may be required due to financial or scientific constraints to enter into additional collaboration agreements to research and/or to develop and commercialize our product candidates. The establishment and realization of such collaborations may not be possible or may be problematic. There can be no assurance that we will be able to establish such additional collaborations on favorable terms, if at all, or that our current or future collaborative arrangements will be successful or maintained for any specific product candidate or indication. If we are unable to reach successful agreements with suitable collaboration partners for the ongoing development and commercialization of our product candidates, we may face increased costs, we may be forced to limit the scope and number of our product candidates we can commercially develop or the territories in which we commercialize such product candidates, and we may be unable to commercialize products or programs for which a suitable collaboration partner cannot be found. If we fail to achieve successful collaborations, our operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
46


In addition, the terms of any collaboration agreements may place restrictions on our activities with respect to other products, including by limiting our ability to grant licenses or develop products with other third parties, or in different indications, diseases or geographical locations, or may place additional obligations on us with respect to development or commercialization of our product candidates. If we fail to comply with or breach any provision of a collaboration agreement, a collaborator may have the right to terminate, in whole or in part, such agreement or to seek damages.

Some of our collaboration agreements, including the BeiGene Agreement and Zai Agreement, are complex and involve sharing or division of ownership of certain data, know-how and intellectual property rights among the various parties. Accordingly, our collaborators could interpret certain provisions differently than we or our other collaborators, which could lead to unexpected or inadvertent disputes with collaborators. In addition, these agreements might make additional collaborations, partnering or mergers and acquisitions difficult.

There is no assurance that a collaborator who is acquired by a third party would not attempt to change certain contract provisions that could negatively affect our collaboration. The acquiring company may also not accept the terms or assignment of our contracts and may seek to terminate the agreements. Any one of our collaborators could breach covenants, restrictions and/or sub-license agreement provisions leading us into disputes and potential breaches of our agreements with other partners.

We have no experience in clinical or commercial manufacturing and depend on others for the production of our product candidates at suitable levels of quality and quantity. Any problems or delays in the manufacture of our products would have a negative impact on our ability to successfully execute our development and commercialization strategies.

We do not currently have nor do we plan to acquire the infrastructure or capability internally to manufacture our commercial products for sale nor our clinical drug supplies for use in the conduct of our clinical trials, and we lack the resources and the capability to manufacture any of our commercial products and product candidates on a clinical or commercial scale. We rely on collaborators and/or third parties for development, scale-up, formulation, optimization, management of clinical trial and commercial scale manufacturing and commercialization. There are no assurances we can scale-up, formulate or manufacture any product candidate in sufficient quantities with acceptable specifications for the conduct of our clinical trials or for the regulatory agencies to grant approval of such product candidate. We have no commercial manufacturing experience. To be successful, our products must be properly formulated, scalable, stable and safely manufactured in clinical trial and commercial quantities in compliance with GMP and other regulatory requirements and at acceptable costs. Should any of our suppliers or our collaborators be unable to supply or be delayed in supplying us with sufficient supplies, no assurance can be given that we will be able to find alternative means of supply in a short period of time. Should such parties’ operations suffer a material adverse effect, the manufacturing of our products would also be adversely affected. Furthermore, key raw materials could become scarce or unavailable. There may be a limited number of third parties who can manufacture our products. We may not be able to meet specifications previously established for commercial products or product candidates during scale-up and manufacturing.

Our reliance on third parties to manufacture our commercial products and product candidates will expose us and our partners to risks including the following, any of which could delay or prevent the commercialization of our products, result in higher costs, or deprive us of potential product revenue:

Contract manufacturers can encounter difficulties in achieving the scale-up, optimization, formulation, or volume production of a compound as well as maintaining quality control with appropriate quality assurance. They may also experience shortages of qualified personnel. Contract manufacturers are required to undergo a satisfactory GMP inspection prior to regulatory approval and are obliged to operate in accordance with FDA, International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (“ICH”), European and other nationally mandated GMP regulations and/or guidelines governing manufacturing processes, stability testing, record keeping and quality standards. A failure of these contract manufacturers to follow GMP and to document their adherence to such practices or failure of an inspection by a regulatory agency may lead to significant delays in the availability of our product candidate materials for clinical study, leading to delays in our trials.

For each of our current commercial products and product candidates we will initially rely on a limited number of contract manufacturers. Changing these or identifying future manufacturers may be difficult. Changing manufacturers requires re-validation of the manufacturing processes and procedures in accordance with FDA, ICH, European and other mandated GMP regulations and/or guidelines. Such re-validation may be costly and time-consuming. It may be difficult or impossible for us to quickly find replacement manufacturers on acceptable terms.

47

Our contract manufacturers may not perform as agreed or may not remain in the contract manufacturing business for the time required to produce, store and distribute our products successfully.

A variety of risks associated with operating our business internationally could adversely affect our business.

In addition to our operations in the United States, we have operations in the Netherlands and Switzerland, and are considering pursuing further European expansion to support the planned commercialization of our product candidates in the EEA and UK. We face risks associated with our international operations, including possible unfavorable political, tax and labor conditions, which could harm our business. We are subject to numerous risks associated with international business activities, including:

difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

foreign government taxes, regulations and permit requirements;

U.S. and foreign government tariffs, trade restrictions, price and exchange controls and other regulatory requirements;

anti-corruption laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”);

economic weakness, including inflation, natural disasters, war, events of terrorism or political instability in particular foreign countries;

fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could result in increased operating expenses and reduced revenues, and other obligations related to doing business in another country;

compliance with tax, employment, immigration and labor laws, regulations and restrictions for employees living or traveling abroad;

workforce uncertainty in countries where labor unrest is more common than in the United States;

production shortages resulting from any events affecting raw material supply or manufacturing capabilities aboard; and

changes in diplomatic and trade relationships.

Our business activities outside of the United States are subject to the FCPA and similar anti-bribery or anti-corruption laws, regulations or rules of other countries in which we operate. The FCPA and similar anti-corruption laws generally prohibit offering, promising, giving or authorizing others to give anything of value, either directly or indirectly, to non-U.S. government officials in order to improperly influence any act or decision, secure any other improper advantage or obtain or retain business. The FCPA also requires public companies to make and keep books and records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the company and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls. As described above, our business is heavily regulated and therefore involves significant interaction with public officials, including officials of non-U.S. governments. Additionally, in many other countries, the health care providers who prescribe pharmaceuticals are employed by their government, and the purchasers of pharmaceuticals are government entities; therefore, any dealings with these prescribers and purchasers may be subject to regulation under the FCPA. Recently the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the U.S. Department of Justice have increased their FCPA enforcement activities with respect to pharmaceutical companies. In addition, under the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, private individuals who report to the SEC original information that leads to successful enforcement actions may be eligible for a monetary award. We are engaged in ongoing efforts that are designed to ensure our compliance with these laws, including due diligence, training, policies, procedures and internal controls. However, there is no certainty that all employees and third-party business partners (including our distributors, wholesalers, agents, contractors and other partners) will comply with anti-bribery laws. In particular, we do not control the actions of manufacturers and other third-party agents, although we may be liable for their actions. Violation of these laws may result in civil or criminal sanctions, which could include monetary fines, criminal penalties and disgorgement of past profits, which could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.

We are or may become subject to tax audits in the Netherlands, Switzerland or other countries into which we expand our operations, and such jurisdictions may assess additional income tax against us. The final determination of tax audits could be materially different from our recorded income tax provisions and accruals. The ultimate results of an audit could have a material adverse effect on our operating results or cash flows in the period or periods for which that determination is made and could result in increases to our overall tax expense in subsequent periods.
48


These and other risks associated with our international operations may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely upon third-party contractors and service providers for the execution of some aspects of our development programs. Failure of these collaborators to provide services of a suitable quality and within acceptable timeframes may cause the delay or failure of our development programs.*

We outsource certain functions, tests and services to CROs, medical institutions and collaborators and outsource manufacturing to collaborators and/or contract manufacturers, and we rely on third parties for quality assurance, clinical monitoring, clinical data management and regulatory expertise. In particular, we rely on CROs to run our clinical trials on our behalf and contract manufacturers to manufacture our product candidates. There is no assurance that such individuals or organizations will be able to provide the functions, tests, drug supply or services as agreed upon or to acceptable quality standards, and we could suffer significant delays in the development of our products or processes.

In some cases, there may be only one or few providers of such services, including manufacturing services. In addition, the cost of such services could increase significantly over time. We rely on third parties as mentioned above to enroll qualified patients and conduct, supervise and monitor our clinical trials. Our reliance on these third parties and collaborators for clinical development activities reduces our control over these activities, but does not relieve us of our regulatory responsibilities, including ensuring that our clinical trials are conducted in accordance with good clinical practices (“GCP”) regulations and the investigational plan and protocols contained in the regulatory agency applications. In addition, these third parties may not complete activities on schedule or may not manufacture compounds under GMP conditions. Preclinical studies may not be performed or completed in accordance with good laboratory practices, regulatory requirements or our trial design. If we or our CROs fail to comply with GCP regulations, the clinical data generated in our clinical trials may be deemed unreliable and the FDA, the EMA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may require us to perform additional clinical trials before approving any marketing applications. If these third parties or collaborators do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or meet expected deadlines, obtaining regulatory approval for manufacturing and commercialization of our product candidates may be delayed or prevented. We rely substantially on third-party data managers for our clinical trial data. There is no assurance that these third parties will not make errors in the design, management or retention of our data or data systems. There is no assurance that these third parties will pass FDA or regulatory audits, which could delay or prohibit regulatory approval.

Our CROs may also have relationships with other commercial entities, including our competitors, for whom they may also be conducting clinical trials or other product development activities, which could harm our competitive position. If any of our relationships with these third-party CROs terminate, we may not be able to enter into arrangements with alternative CROs or to do so on commercially reasonable terms. Further, switching or adding additional CROs involves additional cost and requires management time and attention. In addition, there is a natural transition period when a new CRO commences work. As a result, delays may occur, which could materially impact our ability to meet our desired clinical development timelines. Though we carefully manage our relationships with our CROs, there can be no assurance that we will not encounter challenges or delays in the future or that these delays or challenges will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and prospects.

If our competitors develop and market products that are more effective than KRAZATI or our other product candidates, they may reduce or eliminate our commercial opportunity.*

We are aware of other companies who currently have competing commercial or clinical-stage direct KRAS G12C inhibitor programs including Amgen, Inc., F. Hoffman-LaRoche Ltd., Eli Lilly and Company, Merck & Co., Inc., Novartis AG, Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH, and Revolution Medicines, Inc.

There are several immune checkpoint inhibitors currently approved for use as single agents to treat multiple tumor types, including NSCLC. To augment the efficacy of these agents, combination studies are being conducted with a variety of potentially synergistic mechanisms, including inhibitors of CTLA-4, LAG3, TIM-3, TIGIT and CSF-1R, among others. Most of these combination studies are being conducted in patients who are naïve to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Additionally, there are numerous other potential competitors with kinase inhibitors that are being evaluated in combination with checkpoint inhibitors in NSCLC patients who had previously failed checkpoint inhibitor therapy in earlier lines of treatment.

We are aware of other companies who currently have competing clinical-stage MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor programs including Tango Therapeutics, Inc., BeiGene, and Amgen, Inc.

49

In addition to companies that have inhibitors addressing our targets of interest, our competition also includes hundreds of private and publicly traded companies that operate in the area of oncology but have therapeutics with different mechanisms of action. The oncology market in general is highly competitive with over 1,000 molecules currently in clinical development. Other important competitors, in addition to those mentioned above, are small and large biotechnology companies, specialty and regional pharmaceutical companies and multinational pharmaceutical companies, including but not limited to AbbVie Inc., AstraZeneca plc, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Gilead Sciences, Inc., GlaxoSmithKline plc, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer Inc., Sanofi S.A. and Takeda Pharmaceutical Co.

Developments by others may render our products or technologies non-competitive or we may not be able to keep pace with technological developments. Our competitors may have developed or may be developing technologies which may be the basis for competitive products. Some of these products may prove to be more effective and less costly than the products developed or being developed by us. Our competitors may obtain regulatory approval for their products more rapidly than we do which may change the standard of care in the indications we are targeting, rendering our technology or products non-competitive. For example, with the recent approval of immunotherapy agents for the treatment of NSCLC and other cancers, the standard of care for the treatment of cancer is evolving and will continue to evolve which could require us to change the design and timelines for our registration trials and may limit the commercial acceptance of our products in the future. Others may develop treatments or cures superior to any therapy we are developing or will develop. Moreover, alternate, less toxic forms of medical treatment may be developed which may be competitive with our products.

Many of the organizations which could be considered to be our competitors have substantially more financial and technical resources, more extensive discovery research, preclinical research and development capabilities and greater manufacturing, marketing, distribution, production and human resources than we do. Many of our current or potential competitors have more experience than we do in research, preclinical testing and clinical trials, drug commercialization, manufacturing and marketing, and in obtaining domestic and foreign regulatory approvals. In addition, failure, unacceptable toxicity, lack of sales or disappointing sales or other issues regarding competitors’ products or processes could have a material adverse effect on our product candidates, including our clinical candidates or our lead compounds. Established pharmaceutical companies may invest heavily to accelerate discovery and development of novel compounds or to in-license novel compounds that could make our product candidates less competitive. In addition, any new product that competes with an approved product must demonstrate compelling advantages in efficacy, convenience, tolerability and safety in order to overcome price competition and brand recognition and to be commercially successful. For example, the use of KRAZATI for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC who have received at least one prior systemic therapy will compete with LUMAKRAS® (Amgen Inc.), which was approved for the same indication in May 2021. Accordingly, our competitors may succeed in obtaining patent protection, receiving FDA, EMA, or other regulatory approval or discovering, developing and commercializing medicines before we do, which would have a material adverse impact on our business.

Our product candidates may cause undesirable side effects or have other properties that could delay or prevent their regulatory approval, limit the commercial profile of an approved product label, including KRAZATIs, or result in significant negative consequences following marketing approval.

Undesirable side effects caused by our product candidates could cause us or regulatory authorities to interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials and could result in a more restrictive label or the delay or denial of regulatory approval by the FDA or other comparable foreign authorities. Results of our trials could reveal a high and unacceptable severity and prevalence of side effects. In such an event, our trials could be suspended or terminated and the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities could order us to cease further development of or deny approval of our product candidates for any or all targeted indications. Treatment-related side effects could affect patient recruitment or the ability of enrolled patients to complete the trial, or result in potential product liability claims. Any of these occurrences may harm our business, financial condition and prospects significantly.

Additionally, for KRAZATI or any of our other product candidates that receives marketing approval, if we or others later identify undesirable side effects caused by such products, a number of potentially significant negative consequences could result, including:

regulatory authorities may withdraw approvals of such product;

regulatory authorities may require additional warnings on the product label;

we may be required to create a medication guide outlining the risks of such side effects for distribution to patients;

we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients; and
50


our reputation may suffer.

Any of these events could prevent us from achieving or maintaining market acceptance of KRAZATI or any of our other product candidates, if approved, and could significantly harm our business, results of operations and prospects.

We are subject to competition for our skilled personnel and may experience challenges in identifying and retaining key personnel that could impair our ability to conduct our operations effectively.

Our future success depends on our ability to retain our executive officers and to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. If we are not successful in attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel, we may not be able to successfully implement our business strategy. Although we have not experienced problems attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel in the recent past, our industry has experienced a high rate of turnover of management personnel in recent years. Our ability to compete in the highly competitive biotechnology and pharmaceuticals industries depends upon our ability to attract and retain highly qualified managerial, scientific, medical and commercial personnel. We are highly dependent on our management, scientific, medical and commercial personnel, whose services are critical to the success of our product candidates, development, commercialization and regulatory strategies, as well as the management of our financial operations. We are not aware of any present intention of any of these personnel to leave our company. In order to induce valuable employees to continue their employment with us, we have provided equity awards that vest over time. The value to employees of equity awards that vest over time is significantly affected by movements in our stock price that are beyond our control, and may at any time be insufficient to counteract more lucrative offers from other companies.

Despite our efforts to retain valuable employees, members of our management, scientific, development and commercial teams may terminate their employment with us at any time, with or without notice. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees and our inability to find suitable replacements could harm our business, financial condition and prospects. Our success also depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled junior, mid-level and senior managers as well as junior, mid-level and senior scientific, medical and commercial personnel.

We will continue to experience growth in the number of our employees and the scope of our operations. This growth will place a significant strain on our management, operations and financial resources and we may have difficulty managing this future potential growth. No assurance can be provided that we will be able to attract new employees to assist in our growth. Many of the other pharmaceutical companies that we compete against for qualified personnel have greater financial and other resources, different risk profiles and a longer history in the industry than we do. We also may employ consultants or part-time and contract employees. There can be no assurance that these individuals are retainable. While we have been able to attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel and consultants in the past, no assurance can be given that we will be able to do so in the future.

We may in the future attempt to obtain FDA approval of product candidates through the use of the accelerated approval pathway, including additional indications for adagrasib. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to await the completion of planned or ongoing clinical trials or conduct additional clinical trials, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary approval. Even if we receive accelerated approval from the FDA, if our confirmatory trials do not verify clinical benefit, or if we do not comply with rigorous post-marketing requirements, the FDA may seek to withdraw accelerated approval.

We may in the future seek accelerated approval for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval program, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product candidate designed to treat a serious or life-threatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product candidate has an effect on a surrogate endpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effect that is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogate endpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itself a measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality that is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases in which the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient and public health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional post-approval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such post-approval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA may withdraw its approval of the drug. For example, the
51

FDA’s accelerated approval of KRAZATI for the treatment of previously-treated KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC requires that we complete KRYSTAL-12 and other post-marketing commitments. In addition to conditions concerning completion of confirmatory clinical evidence, accelerated approvals are subject to pre-submission review by the FDA of any promotional materials.

Prior to seeking accelerated approval for any of our product candidates, we intend to seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive accelerated approval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit an NDA for accelerated approval. If we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval for our product candidates, there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that review or approval will be granted on a timely basis, or at all. A failure to obtain accelerated approval would result in a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm our competitive position in the marketplace.

If we or third parties are unable to successfully develop companion diagnostics for our product candidates, or experience significant delays in doing so, we may not achieve marketing approval or realize the full commercial potential of such product candidates.

A key part of our development strategy for our product candidates is to identify subsets of patients with specific types of tumors that express specific genetic markers. Identification of these patients will require the use and development of companion diagnostics. The FDA generally will either require approval or clearance of the diagnostic at the same time the FDA approves the therapeutic product, or as a post-marketing commitment at the time of the therapeutic product’s approval. We do not have experience or capabilities in developing or commercializing diagnostics and plan to rely in large part on third parties to perform these functions.

Companion diagnostics are subject to regulation by the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities as medical devices and will likely require separate regulatory approval prior to commercialization. If we or third parties are unable to successfully develop companion diagnostics for our product candidates, or experience delays in doing so:

the development of these product candidates may be delayed because it may be difficult to identify patients for enrollment in our clinical trials in a timely manner;

these product candidates may not receive marketing approval if their safe and effective use depends on a companion diagnostic; and

we may not realize the full commercial potential of these product candidates that receive marketing approval if, among other reasons, we are unable to appropriately identify patients or types of tumors with the specific genetic alterations targeted by these product candidates.

Even if our product candidates and any associated companion diagnostics are approved for marketing, the need for companion diagnostics may slow or limit adoption of our product candidates. Although we believe genetic testing is becoming more prevalent in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, our product candidates may be perceived negatively compared to alternative treatments that do not require the use of companion diagnostics, either due to the additional cost of the companion diagnostic or the need to complete additional procedures to identify genetic markers prior to administering our product candidates.

If any of these events were to occur, our business and growth prospects would be harmed, possibly materially.

Interim, topline and preliminary data from our clinical trials may change as more patient data become available, and are subject to audit and verification procedures that could result in material changes in the final data.

From time to time, we may publicly disclose preliminary, interim or topline data from our preclinical studies and clinical trials, which is based on a preliminary analysis of then-available data, and the results and related findings and conclusions are subject to change as patient enrollment and treatment continues and more patient data become available. Adverse differences between previous preliminary or interim data and future interim or final data could significantly harm our business prospects. We may also announce topline data following the completion of a preclinical study or clinical trial, which may be subject to change following a more comprehensive review of the data related to the particular study or trial. We also make assumptions, estimations, calculations and conclusions as part of our analyses of data, and we may not have received or had the opportunity to fully and carefully evaluate all data. As a result, the interim, topline or preliminary results that we report may differ from future results of the same studies, or different conclusions or considerations may qualify such results, once
52

additional data have been received and fully evaluated. Preliminary, interim or topline data also remain subject to audit and verification procedures that may result in the final data being materially different from the data we previously published. As a result, preliminary, interim and topline data should be viewed with caution until the final data are available.

Further, others, including regulatory agencies, may not accept or agree with our assumptions, estimates, calculations, conclusions or analyses or may interpret or weigh the importance of data differently, which could impact the value of the particular program, the approvability or commercialization of the particular product candidate or product and our company in general. In addition, the information we choose to publicly disclose regarding a particular study or clinical trial is based on what is typically extensive information, and you or others may not agree with what we determine to be material or otherwise appropriate information to include in our disclosure.

The timelines of our clinical trials may be impacted by numerous factors and any delays may adversely affect our ability to execute our current business strategy.

Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete, and is uncertain as to outcome. We may experience delays in clinical trials at any stage of development and testing of our product candidates. Our planned clinical trials may not begin on time, have an effective design, enroll a sufficient number of patients or be completed on schedule, if at all.

Events which may result in a delay or unsuccessful completion of clinical trials include:

inability to raise funding necessary to initiate or continue a trial;

delays in obtaining regulatory approval to commence a trial;

delays in reaching agreement with the FDA or other regulatory authorities on final trial design;

imposition of a clinical hold following an inspection of our clinical trial operations or trial sites by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;

delays in reaching agreement on acceptable terms with prospective CROs and clinical trial sites;

delays in obtaining required institutional review board approval at each site;

delays in having patients complete participation in a trial or return for post-treatment follow-up;

delays caused by patients dropping out of a trial due to side effects or otherwise;

clinical sites dropping out of a trial to the detriment of enrollment;

time required to add new clinical sites; and

delays by our contract manufacturers to produce and deliver a sufficient supply of clinical trial materials.

Furthermore, enrollment may depend on the availability of suitable companion diagnostics to identify genetic markers we are targeting and the capability and willingness of clinical sites to conduct genetic screening of potential patients.

If initiation or completion of any of our clinical trials for our product candidates are delayed for any of the above reasons or for other reasons, our development costs may increase, our approval process could be delayed, any periods after commercial launch and before expiration of patent protection may be reduced and our competitors may have more time to bring products to market before we do. Any of these events could impair the commercial potential of our product candidates and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, those clinical trials could take longer than expected to complete and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.*

We may not be able to initiate or complete clinical trials for our product candidates if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficient number of eligible patients to participate in these trials. In particular, because we are focused on patients with specific genetic alterations in some of our trials, our pool of suitable patients may be smaller and more selective and our ability
53

to enroll a sufficient number of suitable patients may be limited or take longer than anticipated. In addition, some of our competitors have ongoing clinical trials for product candidates that treat the same indications, or target the same genetic alterations as our product candidates. Therefore, patients who would otherwise be eligible for our clinical trials may instead enroll in clinical trials of our competitors’ product candidates.

Patient enrollment for any of our clinical trials may also be affected by other factors, including without limitation:

the severity of the disease under investigation;

the frequency of the genetic alteration we are seeking to target in the applicable trial, and the ability to effectively identify such alteration;

the willingness of clinical sites and principal investigators to subject candidate patients to genetic screening;

the eligibility criteria for the study in question;

the perceived risks and benefits of the product candidate under study;

the availability, effectiveness and safety of other treatment options;

the patient referral practices of physicians;

the ability to monitor patients adequately during and after treatment; and

the proximity and availability of a sufficient number of clinical trial sites that are willing to comply with the requirements of our clinical protocols.

For example, due to the targeted indications and patient populations we intend to focus on for development of our product candidates, the number of study sites and patient populations available to us may be limited, and therefore enrollment of suitable patients to participate in clinical trials for these product candidates may take longer than would be the case if we were pursuing broader indications or patient populations.

We are and continue to be subject to stringent government regulations concerning the clinical testing of our products. We will also continue to be subject to government regulation of any product that receives regulatory approval, including KRAZATI.

Numerous statutes and regulations govern human testing and the manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the United States, EEA, UK and other countries where we intend to market our products. Such legislation and regulation bears upon, among other things, the approval of trial protocols and human testing, the approval of manufacturing facilities, testing procedures, CMC and controlled research, the review and approval of manufacturing, preclinical and clinical data prior to marketing approval, including adherence to GMP during production and storage, and marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.

Clinical trials may be delayed or suspended at any time by us or by the FDA or other similar regulatory authorities if it is determined at any time that patients may be or are being exposed to unacceptable health risks, including the risk of death, or if compounds are not manufactured under acceptable GMP conditions or with acceptable quality. Current regulations relating to regulatory approval may change or become more stringent. The agencies may also require additional trials be run in order to provide additional information regarding the safety, efficacy or equivalency of any product candidate for which we seek regulatory approval.

Moreover, any regulatory approval of a drug which is eventually obtained may entail limitations on the indicated uses for which that drug may be marketed or on the conditions of approval, or contain requirements for potentially costly post-marketing testing, including Phase 4 clinical trials, and surveillance to monitor the safety and efficacy of the product candidate. These requirements include submissions of safety and other post-marketing information and reports, registration, as well as continued compliance with GMPs and GCPs for any clinical trials that we conduct post-approval. For example, the FDA’s accelerated approval of KRAZATI for the treatment of previously-treated KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC requires that we complete KRYSTAL-12 and other post-marketing commitments. In addition, if the FDA or a comparable foreign regulatory authority approves any of our other product candidates, the manufacturing processes, labeling, packaging, distribution, adverse event reporting, storage, advertising, promotion and recordkeeping for the product will be subject to extensive and ongoing
54

regulatory requirements. For example, prescription drugs may be promoted only for the approved indications in accordance with the approved label. The FDA and other agencies actively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of off-label uses, and a company that is found to have improperly promoted off-label uses may be subject to significant liability. However, physicians may, in their independent medical judgment, prescribe legally available products for off-label uses. The FDA does not regulate the behavior of physicians in their choice of treatments, but the FDA does restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of off-label use of their products. Furthermore, product approvals may be withdrawn or limited in some way if problems occur following initial marketing or if compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained. Similar restrictions are imposed in foreign markets. Regulatory agencies could become more risk averse to any side effects or set higher standards of safety and efficacy prior to reviewing or approving a product. This could result in a product not being approved.

If we, or any future marketing collaborators or contract manufacturers, fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, we may be subject to sanctions including fines, product recalls or seizures and related publicity requirements, injunctions, total or partial suspension of production, civil penalties, suspension or withdrawals of previously granted regulatory approvals, warning or untitled letters, refusal to approve pending applications for marketing approval of new products or of supplements to approved applications, import or export bans or restrictions, and criminal prosecution and penalties. Any of these penalties could delay or prevent the promotion, marketing or sale of our products and product candidates.

The FDA’s policies, and policies of comparable foreign regulatory authorities, may change and additional government regulations may be enacted that could prevent, limit or delay regulatory approval of our product candidates. If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or to adopt new requirements or policies, or if we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we may lose any marketing approval that we may have obtained, which would adversely affect our business, prospects and ability to achieve or sustain profitability.

Breakthrough therapy designation by the FDA, even if granted for any of our product candidates, may not lead to a faster development or regulatory review or approval process and it does not increase the likelihood that our product candidates will receive marketing approval.

We may seek breakthrough therapy designation for future product candidates. A breakthrough therapy is defined as a drug or biologic that is intended, alone or in combination with one or more other drugs or biologics, to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug or biologic may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical development. For product candidates that have been designated as breakthrough therapies, sponsors may obtain more frequent interaction with and communication with the FDA to help identify the most efficient path for clinical development.

The receipt of a breakthrough therapy designation for a product candidate may not result in a faster development process, review or approval and does not change the approval standards or assure ultimate approval by the FDA. In addition, the FDA may later decide that the product no longer meets the conditions for qualification. As such, there can be no assurance that even if we do receive breakthrough therapy designation, that such designation will have a material impact on our development program.

The failure to (i) maintain the BeiGene Agreement or the failure of BeiGene to perform its obligations under the BeiGene Agreement and/or (ii) maintain the Zai Agreement or the failure of Zai to perform its obligations under the Zai Agreement, could, in each case, negatively impact our business.*

Pursuant to the terms of the BeiGene Agreement, we granted to BeiGene an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize sitravatinib in the BeiGene Licensed Territory. Consequently, our ability to generate any revenues from sitravatinib in the BeiGene Licensed Territory depends on our ability to maintain our collaboration with BeiGene. We have limited control over the amount and timing of resources that BeiGene will dedicate to these efforts and the failure of sitravatinib to meet the overall survival primary endpoint in the Phase 3 SAPPHIRE trial may negatively impact BeiGene’s willingness to continue to dedicate resources to the development of sitravatinib in the BeiGene Licensed Territory.

Pursuant to the terms of the Zai Agreement, we granted Zai the right to research, develop, manufacture and exclusively commercialize adagrasib in the Zai Licensed Territory. Consequently, our ability to generate any revenues from adagrasib in the Zai Licensed Territory depends on our ability to maintain our collaboration with Zai. We have limited control over the amount and timing of resources that Zai will dedicate to these efforts.

55

We are subject to a number of other risks associated with our dependence on the BeiGene Agreement with respect to sitravatinib in the BeiGene Licensed Territory and the Zai Agreement with respect to adagrasib in the Zai Licensed Territory, including:

BeiGene or Zai may not comply with applicable regulatory guidelines with respect to developing, manufacturing or commercializing sitravatinib or adagrasib, respectively, which could adversely impact sales or future development of sitravatinib in or outside of the BeiGene Licensed Territory or adagrasib in or outside of the Zai Licensed Territory, respectively;

There may be disputes between us and BeiGene or Zai, including disagreements regarding the BeiGene Agreement or the Zai Agreement, respectively; and

BeiGene or Zai may not properly defend our intellectual property rights or may use our proprietary information in such a way as to invite litigation that could jeopardize or invalidate our intellectual property rights or expose us to potential litigation.

Each of the BeiGene Agreement and Zai Agreement are also subject to early termination, including through BeiGene’s and Zai’s (as applicable) right to terminate without cause upon advance notice to us. If the agreement is terminated early, we may not be able to find another collaborator for the further development and commercialization of (i) with respect to BeiGene, sitravatinib in the BeiGene Licensed Territory and/or (ii) with respect to Zai, adagrasib in the Zai Licensed Territory, in each case on acceptable terms, or at all, and we may be unable to pursue continued development and commercialization of sitravatinib in the BeiGene Licensed Territory and/or adagrasib in the Zai Licensed Territory on our own.

If we fail to obtain coverage and adequate reimbursement for KRAZATI or other future products, our revenue-generating ability will be diminished and there is no assurance that the anticipated market for our products will be sustained.*

Our and our collaborators’ ability to commercialize KRAZATI and our other product candidates, once approved, successfully will depend, in part, on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement for such products and related treatments will be available from governmental health payor programs at the federal and state levels, including Medicare and Medicaid, private health insurers, managed care plans and other organizations. No assurance can be given that third-party payor coverage and adequate reimbursement will be available that will allow us to maintain price levels sufficient for the realization of an appropriate return on our investment in product development.

Coverage and adequate reimbursement from governmental healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and private health insurers, managed care plans and other organizations is critical to new product acceptance. There is no uniform coverage and reimbursement policy among third-party payors in the United States; however, private third-party payors often follow Medicare coverage policy and payment limitations in setting their own reimbursement rates. Additionally, coverage decisions may depend upon clinical and economic standards that disfavor new drug products when more established or lower cost therapeutic alternatives are already available or subsequently become available. Even if we obtain coverage for our product candidates, the resulting reimbursement payment rates might not be adequate or may require co-payments that patients find unacceptably high. Patients are unlikely to use our product candidates unless coverage is provided and reimbursement is adequate to cover a significant portion of the cost of our product candidates.

Additionally, we or our collaborators may develop companion diagnostic tests for use with our product candidates. We or our collaborators will be required to obtain coverage and reimbursement for these tests separate and apart from the coverage and reimbursement we seek for KRAZATI and our other product candidates, once approved. While we have not yet developed any companion diagnostic test for use with our product candidates, if we do, there is significant uncertainty regarding our ability to obtain coverage and adequate reimbursement for the same reasons applicable to our product candidates.

In the United States and in many other countries, pricing and/or profitability of some or all prescription pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals are subject to varying degrees of government control. In the United States, there has recently been increased government enforcement and government and payor scrutiny relating to drug pricing and price increases. For example, there have been several recent U.S. Congressional inquiries and proposed and enacted federal and state legislation designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to drug pricing, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient programs, and reform government program reimbursement methodologies for drugs. At the Federal level, in July 2021, the Biden administration released an executive order, “Promoting Competition in the American Economy,” with multiple provisions aimed at prescription drugs. In response to President Biden’s executive order, on September 9, 2021, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) released a Comprehensive Plan for Addressing High Drug Prices
56

that outlines principles for drug pricing reform and sets out a variety of potential legislative policies that Congress could pursue to advance these principles. In addition, on August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) into law, which among other things, (i) allows HHS to negotiate the price of certain drugs and biologics covered under Medicare, and subjects drug manufacturers to civil monetary penalties and a potential excise tax by offering a price that is not equal to or less than the negotiated “maximum fair price” under the law, and (ii) imposes rebates under Medicare Part B and Medicare Part D to penalize price increases that outpace inflation. The IRA permits HHS to implement many of these provisions through guidance, as opposed to regulation, for the initial years. HHS has and will continue to issue and update guidance as these programs are implemented. On August 29, 2023, HHS announced the list of the first ten drugs that will be subject to price negotiations, although the Medicare drug price negotiation program is currently subject to legal challenges. It is currently unclear how the IRA will be effectuated but is likely to have a significant impact on the pharmaceutical industry. Further, in response to the Biden administration’s October 2022 executive order, on February 14, 2023, HHS released a report outlining three new models for testing by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) Innovation Center which will be evaluated on their ability to lower the cost of drugs, promote accessibility, and improve quality of care. It is unclear whether the models will be utilized in any health reform measures in the future.

At the state level, legislatures have increasingly passed legislation and implemented regulations designed to control pharmaceutical and biological product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access and marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, and, in some cases, designed to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing. These changes may adversely impact the prices we or our future collaborators may charge for KRAZATI or our other products candidates, if commercialized.

Outside of the United States, the successful commercialization of our products will depend largely on obtaining and maintaining government coverage, because in many countries, patients are unlikely to use prescription drugs that are not covered by their government healthcare programs. Negotiating coverage and reimbursement with governmental authorities can delay commercialization by 12 months or more. Coverage and reimbursement policies may adversely affect our ability to sell our products on a profitable basis. In many international markets, governments control the prices of prescription pharmaceuticals, including through the implementation of reference pricing, price cuts, rebates, revenue-related taxes and profit control, and we expect prices of prescription pharmaceuticals to decline over the life of the product or as volumes increase.

Healthcare reform and controls on healthcare spending may limit the price we charge for any products and the amounts thereof that we can sell. In particular, in the United States, the federal government and private insurers have changed, and have considered ways to change, the manner in which healthcare services are provided. In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (collectively, “ACA”) became law in the United States. With respect to pharmaceutical products, the ACA, among other things, expanded and increased industry rebates for drugs covered by Medicaid and made changes to the coverage requirements under Medicare Part D, Medicare’s prescription drug benefits program. Some of the provisions of the ACA have yet to be fully implemented, and there have been executive, judicial and Congressional challenges to certain aspects of the ACA. For example, on June 17, 2021 the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a challenge on procedural grounds that argued the ACA is unconstitutional in its entirety because the “individual mandate” was repealed by Congress. Further, prior to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, on January 28, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order that initiated a special enrollment period for purposes of obtaining health insurance coverage through the ACA marketplace. The executive order also instructed certain governmental agencies to review and reconsider their existing policies and rules that limit access to healthcare, including among others, reexamining Medicaid demonstration projects and waiver programs that include work requirements, and policies that create unnecessary barriers to obtaining access to health insurance coverage through Medicaid or the ACA. The IRA also extends enhanced subsidies for individuals purchasing health insurance coverage in ACA marketplaces through plan year 2025 and eliminates the “donut hole” under the Medicare Part D program beginning in 2025, by significantly lowering the beneficiary maximum out-of-pocket cost and through a newly established manufacturer discount program. It is possible that the ACA and other health reform measures will be subject to judicial or Congressional challenges in the future. It is unclear how any such challenges or additional health reform measures of the Biden administration will impact the ACA, other health reform measures, and our business.

In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the ACA was enacted. In August 2011, the Budget Control Act of 2011, among other things, created measures for spending reductions by Congress. A Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, tasked with recommending a targeted deficit reduction of at least $1.2 trillion for the years 2013 through 2021, was unable to reach required goals, thereby triggering the legislation’s automatic reduction to several government programs. These changes include aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year, which went into effect on April 1, 2013 and, as amended by subsequent legislation including the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, will stay in effect until 2032, unless additional Congressional action is taken. On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 into law, which eliminates the statutory Medicaid drug rebate cap, currently set at 100% of a drug’s average manufacturer price, for single source and
57

innovator multiple source drugs, beginning January 1, 2024. In January 2013, President Obama signed into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several types of providers and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. These laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on our customers and accordingly, our financial operations.

We anticipate that the ACA, the IRA, and any additional healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorous coverage criteria and additional downward pressure on the reimbursement we may receive for KRAZATI and any other approved product. Moreover, payment methodologies may be subject to changes in healthcare legislation and regulatory initiatives.

In addition, levels of reimbursement may be impacted by other current and future legislation, regulation or reimbursement policies of third-party payors in a manner that may harm the demand and reimbursement available for our products, including for companion diagnostics for our products, which in turn, could harm our future product pricing and sales. Any reduction in reimbursement from Medicare and other government programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of cost containment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our products.

Our relationships with customers and third-party payors in the United States and elsewhere may be subject, directly or indirectly, to applicable anti-kickback, fraud and abuse, false claims, transparency, health information privacy and security and other healthcare laws and regulations, which could expose us to criminal sanctions, civil penalties, contractual damages, reputational harm, administrative burdens and diminished profits and future earnings.*

As an early commercial-stage company, even though we will not control referrals of healthcare services or bill directly to Medicare, Medicaid or other third-party payors, certain federal and state healthcare laws and regulations pertaining to fraud and abuse and patients’ rights will be applicable to our business. Our arrangements with third-party payors and customers may expose us to broadly applicable fraud and abuse and other healthcare laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and the federal False Claims Act, which may constrain the business or financial arrangements and relationships through which we may sell, market and distribute KRAZATI and any future drugs for which we obtain marketing approval. In addition, we may be subject to transparency laws and patient privacy regulation by U.S. federal and state governments and by governments in foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct our business. The laws that may affect our ability to operate include:

the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, to induce or reward, or in return for, either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, order, lease, furnishing, prescribing or recommendation of, any good or service, for which payment may be made under federal and state healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid. The term “remuneration” has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value. The ACA, among other things, amended the intent requirement of the federal Anti‑Kickback Statute such that a person or entity no longer needs to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate, in order to commit a violation;

federal civil and criminal false claims laws, including the federal False Claims Act which can be enforced by private individuals on behalf of the government through civil whistleblower or qui tam actions, and civil monetary penalty laws prohibit individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, to the federal government, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs, claims for payment that are false or fraudulent or making a false statement to avoid, decrease or conceal an obligation to pay money to the federal government. Entities can be held liable under these laws if they are deemed to “cause” the submission of false or fraudulent claims by, for example, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product off‑label, or for providing medically unnecessary services or items. In addition, a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the federal False Claims Act;

the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), which imposes criminal and civil liability for knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including third-party payors, knowingly and willfully embezzling or stealing from a healthcare benefit program, willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense, and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statements in connection with the delivery of, or payment for, healthcare benefits, items or services;

58

HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (“HITECH”), and their respective implementing regulations, which impose obligations on certain healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses, known as covered entities, as well as individuals and entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit individually identifiable health information for or on behalf of a covered entity, known as business associates, as well as their covered subcontractors, with respect to safeguarding the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. HITECH also created new tiers of civil monetary penalties, amended HIPAA to make civil and criminal penalties directly applicable to business associates, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in U.S. federal courts to enforce the federal HIPAA laws and seek attorneys’ fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions;

the federal Open Payments program, which requires manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available under Medicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, to report annually to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services information related to “payments or other transfers of value” made to physicians, which is defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists and chiropractors, other health care professionals (such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners), and teaching hospitals and ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members; and

analogous state and foreign laws and regulations, such as state anti-kickback and false claims laws, which may apply to sales or marketing arrangements and claims involving healthcare items or services reimbursed by non-governmental third-party payors, including private insurers; state and foreign laws that require pharmaceutical companies to comply with the pharmaceutical industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by the federal government or otherwise restrict payments that may be made to healthcare providers; state and foreign laws that require drug manufacturers to report information related to payments and other transfers of value to physicians and other healthcare providers, marketing expenditures, or drug pricing; state and local laws that require the registration of pharmaceutical sales representatives; and state and foreign laws governing the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and often are not preempted by HIPAA, thus complicating compliance efforts.

Because of the breadth of these laws and the narrowness of available statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors, it is possible that some of our business activities could be subject to challenge under one or more of such laws. To the extent that any of our product candidates is ultimately sold in countries other than the United States, we may be subject to similar laws and regulations in those countries. If we or our operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or any other governmental regulations that apply to us, we may be subject to penalties, including significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, imprisonment, disgorgement, additional reporting obligations and oversight if we become subject to a corporate integrity agreement or other agreement to resolve allegations of non-compliance with these laws, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. If any of the physicians or other healthcare providers or entities with whom we expect to do business, including any of our collaborators, is found not to be in compliance with applicable laws, they may be subject to significant criminal, civil or administrative sanctions, including exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, which could also materially affect our business.

We are subject to stringent and changing obligations related to data privacy and security. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could lead to regulatory investigations or actions; litigation (including class claims) and mass arbitration demands; fines and penalties; disruptions of our business operations; reputational harm; and other adverse business impacts.*

In the ordinary course of business, we collect, receive, store, process, generate, use, transfer, disclose, make accessible, protect, secure, dispose of, transmit, and share (collectively, "processing") personal data and other sensitive data, including proprietary and confidential business data, trade secrets, intellectual property, data we collect about trial participants in connection with clinical trials, and sensitive third-party data. Our data processing activities also subject us to numerous data privacy and security obligations, such as various laws, regulations, guidance, industry standards, external and internal privacy and security policies, contracts, and other obligations that govern the processing of personal data by us and on our behalf.

In the United States, federal, state, and local governments have enacted numerous data privacy and security laws, including data breach notification laws, personal data privacy laws, consumer protection laws, (e.g., Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act), and other similar laws (e.g., wiretapping laws). The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”) (collectively, “CCPA”), applies to personal information of consumers, business representatives, and employees who are California residents, and requires businesses to provide specific disclosures in privacy notices and honor requests of California residents to exercise certain privacy rights. The CCPA allows for
59

administrative fines for noncompliance (up to $7,500 per violation) and allows private litigants affected by certain data breaches to recover significant statutory damages. Although the CCPA exempts some data processed in the context of clinical trials, the CCPA may increase compliance costs and potential liability with respect to other personal data we maintain about California residents. In addition, the CPRA expanded the CCPA. For example, the CPRA establishes a new California Privacy Protection Agency to implement and enforce the CCPA and provides a new right for individuals to correct their personal information. Other states have enacted data privacy laws and similar laws are being considered in several other states, as well as at the federal and local levels. For example, Virginia passed its Consumer Data Protection Act, Colorado passed the Colorado Privacy Act, and Utah passed the Utah Consumer Privacy Act, all of which differ from the CCPA and become effective in 2023. While these states, like the CCPA, also exempt some data processed in the context of clinical trials, these developments may further complicate compliance efforts, and increase legal risk and compliance costs for us and the third parties upon whom we rely.

Outside the United States, an increasing number of laws, regulations, and industry standards apply to data privacy and security. For example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“EU GDPR”) and the UK’s GDPR (“UK GDPR”) impose strict requirements for processing the personal data of individuals located, respectively, within the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the UK. For example, under the EU GDPR and UK GDPR, government regulators may impose temporary or definitive bans on data processing, as well as fines up to 20 million euros under the EU GDPR, 17.5 million pounds sterling under the UK GDPR, or 4% of the annual global revenue, in each case, whichever is greater. Further, individuals, classes of data subjects or consumer protection organizations authorized at law to represent their interests may initiate litigation related to our processing of their personal data.

As another example, the General Data Protection Law (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais, or “LGPD”) (Law No. 13,709/2018) may apply to our operations. The LGPD broadly regulates processing personal data of individuals in Brazil and imposes compliance obligations and penalties comparable to those of the EU GDPR. Additionally, the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, or the FADP, applies to the collection and processing of personal data, including health-related information, by companies located in Switzerland, or in certain circumstances, by companies located outside of Switzerland. The FADP has been revised and adopted by the Swiss Parliament. Companies must comply with the revised version of the FADP and its revised ordinances from September 1, 2023, which may result in an increase of costs of compliance, risks of noncompliance and penalties for noncompliance.

In the ordinary course of business, we may transfer personal data from Europe and other jurisdictions to the United States or other countries. Europe and other jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring data to be localized or limiting the transfer of personal information to other countries. In particular, the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the UK have significantly restricted the transfer of personal data to the United States and other countries, whose privacy laws it generally believes are inadequate. Other jurisdictions have enacted or are considering similar cross-border personal data transfer laws and local personal data residency laws, any of which could increase the cost and complexity of doing business.

Although there are currently various mechanisms by which entities can transfer personal data from the EEA and UK to the United States in compliance with law, such as the EEA’s and UK’s standard contractual clauses and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (which allows for transfers for relevant U.S.-based organizations who self-certify compliance and participate in the Framework), these mechanisms are subject to legal challenges, and there is no assurance that we can satisfy or rely on these measures to lawfully transfer personal data to the United States. If there is no lawful manner for us to transfer personal data from the EEA, the UK or other jurisdictions to the United States, or if the requirements for a legally-compliant transfer are too onerous, we may face significant adverse consequences, including increased exposure to regulatory actions, substantial fines and injunctions against processing or transferring personal data from Europe or elsewhere. Inability to import personal data to the United States may significantly and negatively impact our business operations, including by limiting our ability to conduct clinical trial activities in Europe and elsewhere; limiting our ability to collaborate with parties subject to European and other data protection laws; or requiring us to increase our personal data processing capabilities in Europe and/or elsewhere at significant expense. Additionally, companies that transfer personal data out of the EEA and UK to other jurisdictions, particularly to the United States, are subject to increased scrutiny from regulators, individual litigants, and activist groups. Some European regulators have ordered certain companies to suspend or permanently cease certain transfers out of Europe for allegedly violating the GDPR’s cross-border data transfer limitations. For example, in May 2023, the Irish Data Protection Commission determined that a major social media company’s use of the standard contractual clauses to transfer personal data from Europe to the United States was insufficient and levied a 1.2 billion Euro fine against the company and prohibited the company from transferring personal data to the United States.

We are also bound by contractual obligations related to data privacy and security, and our efforts to comply with such obligations may not be successful. For example, certain privacy laws, such as the GDPR and the CCPA, require our customers to impose specific contractual restrictions related to privacy and security on their service providers.
60


We publish privacy policies, marketing materials and other statements, such as compliance with certain certifications or self-regulatory principles, regarding data privacy and security. If these policies, materials or statements are found to be deficient, lacking in transparency, deceptive, unfair, or misrepresentative of our practices, we may be subject to investigation, enforcement actions by regulators or other adverse consequences.

Our obligations related to data privacy and security are quickly changing in an increasingly stringent fashion, creating regulatory uncertainty. Additionally, these obligations may be subject to differing applications and interpretations, which may be inconsistent among jurisdictions or in conflict. Preparing for and complying with these obligations requires us to devote significant resources (including, without limitation, financial and time-related resources), which may necessitate changes to our information technologies, systems, and practices and those of any third parties that process personal data on our behalf. In addition, these obligations may even require us to change our business model. Although we endeavor to comply with all applicable data privacy and security obligations, we may at times fail (or be perceived to have failed) to do so. Moreover, despite our efforts, our personnel or third-parties upon whom we rely may fail to comply with such obligations, which could negatively impact our business operations.

If we fail, or are perceived to have failed, to address or comply with data privacy and security obligations, we could face significant consequences. These consequences may include, but are not limited to, government enforcement actions (e.g., investigations, fines, penalties, audits and inspections, among others); litigation (including class-related claims) and mass arbitration demands; additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; bans on processing personal data; orders to destroy or not use personal data; and imprisonment of company officials. In particular, plaintiffs have become increasingly more active in bringing privacy-related claims against companies, including class claims and mass arbitration demands. Some of these claims allow for the recovery of statutory damages on a per violation basis, and, if viable, carry the potential for monumental statutory damages, depending on the volume of data and the number of violations. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business or financial condition, including, but not limited to: loss of customers; interruptions or stoppages in our business operations (including clinical trials); inability to process personal data or operate in certain jurisdictions; limited ability to develop or commercialize our products; expenditure of time and resources to defend any claim or inquiry; adverse publicity; or revision or restructuring of our operations.

Changes in funding for the FDA, the SEC and other government agencies, or shutdowns, travel restrictions or furloughs, could hinder their ability to hire and retain key leadership and other personnel, prevent new products and services from being developed or commercialized in a timely manner or otherwise prevent those agencies from performing normal functions on which the operation of our business may rely, which could negatively impact our business.

The ability of the FDA to review and approve new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, travel restrictions, ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept payment of user fees, and statutory, regulatory, and policy changes. Average review times at the FDA have fluctuated in recent years as a result. In addition, government funding of the SEC and other government agencies on which our operations may rely, including those that fund research and development activities, is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable.

Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies may also slow the time necessary for new drugs to be reviewed and/or approved by necessary government agencies, which would adversely affect our business. For example, over the last several years, including most recently beginning on December 22, 2018, the U.S. government has shut down several times and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and the SEC, have had to furlough critical FDA, SEC and other government employees and stop critical activities. If a prolonged government shutdown occurs, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, future government shutdowns could impact our ability to access the public markets and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue our operations.

We may become subject to the risk of product liability claims.*

We face an inherent risk of product liability as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidates and will face an even greater risk as we commercialize KRAZATI and if we commercialize any future products. Human therapeutic products involve the risk of product liability claims and associated adverse publicity. Currently, the principal risks we face relate to patients in our clinical trials, who may suffer unintended consequences. Claims might be made by patients, healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies or others. For example, we may be sued if any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during product testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such product liability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liability and a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection
61

laws. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liability claims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of KRAZATI or any of our product candidates, if approved. Even successful defense would require significant financial and management resources. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:

decreased demand for our product candidates;

injury to our reputation;

withdrawal of clinical trial participants;

initiation of investigations by regulators;

costs to defend the related litigation;

a diversion of management’s time and our resources;

substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;

product recalls, withdrawals or labeling, marketing or promotional restrictions;

loss of revenue from product sales; and

the inability to commercialize KRAZATI or any of our other product candidates, if approved.

We may not have or be able to obtain or maintain sufficient and affordable insurance coverage, and without sufficient coverage any claim brought against us could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We run clinical trials through investigators that could be negligent through no fault of our own and which could affect patients, cause potential liability claims against us and result in delayed or stopped clinical trials. We are required in many cases by contractual obligations to indemnify collaborators, partners, third-party contractors, clinical investigators and institutions. These indemnifications could result in a material impact due to product liability claims against us and/or these groups. We currently carry $10 million in product liability insurance, which we believe is appropriate for our marketed products and clinical trials. Although we maintain such insurance, any claim that may be brought against us could result in a court judgment or settlement in an amount that is not covered, in whole or in part, by our insurance or that is in excess of the limits of our insurance coverage. Our insurance policies also have various exclusions, and we may be subject to a product liability claim for which we have no coverage. We will have to pay any amounts awarded by a court or negotiated in a settlement that exceed our coverage limitations or that are not covered by our insurance, and we may not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient capital to pay such amounts.

Our business involves the controlled use of hazardous materials and as such we are subject to environmental and occupational safety laws. Continued compliance with these laws may incur substantial costs and failure to maintain compliance could result in liability for damages that may exceed our resources.

Our preclinical research, manufacturing and development processes involve the controlled use of hazardous and radioactive materials. We are subject to federal, local and foreign laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of such materials and certain waste products. Our operations involve the use of hazardous and flammable materials, including chemicals and biological materials. Our operations also produce hazardous waste products. The risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials cannot be completely eliminated. In the event of such an accident, we could be held liable for any damages that result, and any such liability could exceed our resources. We may not be adequately insured against this type of liability. We may be required to incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations in the future, and our operations, business or assets may be materially adversely affected by current or future environmental laws or regulations.

We may have to dedicate resources to the settlement of litigation.

Securities legislation in the United States, Canada and other countries makes it relatively easy for shareholders to sue. This could lead to frivolous lawsuits that could take substantial time, money, resources and attention or force us to settle such claims rather than seek adequate judicial remedy or dismissal of such claims.

If we are required to defend patent infringement actions brought by third parties, or if we sue to protect our own patent rights or otherwise to protect our proprietary information and to prevent its disclosure, or if we are involved in other litigation, whether as a plaintiff or defendant, we may be required to pay substantial litigation costs and managerial attention may be diverted from business operations even if the outcome is in our favor. If we are required to defend our patents or trademarks against infringement by third parties, we may be required to pay substantial litigation costs and managerial attention and financial resources may be diverted from our research and development operations even if the outcome is in our favor.

If our information technology systems or data, or those of third parties upon which we rely, are or were compromised, we could experience adverse impacts, including, but not limited to interruptions to our operations such as our clinical trials, regulatory investigations or actions; litigation; fines and penalties; disruptions of our business operations; loss of revenue or profits, and harm to our reputation.*

In the ordinary course of our business, we may collect, store, use, transmit, disclose or otherwise process proprietary, confidential, and sensitive data, including personal data (such as health-related data and clinical trial related data), intellectual property and trade secrets (collectively, “sensitive information”).

Cyberattacks, malicious internet-based activity, online and offline fraud, and other similar activities threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our sensitive information and information technology systems, and those of the third parties upon which we rely. Such threats are prevalent and continue to increase. These threats are becoming increasingly difficult to detect, and come from a variety of sources, such as traditional computer “hackers,” threat actors, “hacktivists,” organized criminal actors, personnel misconduct or error (such as theft or misuse), sophisticated nation-state and nation-state supported actors. Some actors now engage and are expected to continue to engage in cyber-attacks, including without limitation nation-state actors for geopolitical reasons and in conjunction with military conflicts and defense activities. During times of war and other major conflicts, we and the third parties upon which we rely may be vulnerable to a heightened risk of these attacks, including retaliatory cyber-attacks, that could materially disrupt our systems and operations, supply chain, and ability to produce, sell and distribute our goods and services.

We and the third parties upon which we rely may be subject to a variety of evolving threats, including, but not limited to, social engineering attacks (including through phishing attacks and deep fakes, which may be increasingly more difficult to identify as fake), malicious code (such as viruses and worms), malware (including as a result of advanced persistent threat intrusions), denial-of-service attacks (such as credential stuffing), credential harvesting, ransomware attacks, supply-chain attacks, software bugs, server malfunction, software or hardware failures, loss of data or other information technology assets, adware, telecommunications failures and other similar threats. In particular, severe ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly prevalent and severe and can lead to significant interruptions in our operations, loss of sensitive information and income, reputational harm and diversion of funds. Extortion payments may alleviate the negative impact of a ransomware attack, but we may be unwilling or unable to make such payments due to, for example, applicable laws or regulations prohibiting payments. Remote work has become more common and has increased risks to our information technology systems and data, as more of our employees utilize network connections, computers and devices outside our premises or network, including working at home, while in transit and in public locations.

Future or past business transactions (such as acquisitions or integrations) could expose us to additional cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities, as our systems could be negatively affected by vulnerabilities present in acquired or integrated entities’ systems and technologies. Furthermore, we may discover security issues that were not found during due diligence of such acquired or integrated entities, and it may be difficult to integrate companies into our information technology environment and security program.

In addition, we rely upon third-party service providers and technologies to operate critical business systems and process sensitive information for the hosting, support and/or maintenance of some aspects of our computer hardware, computer software and telecommunications systems, as well as our CROs. Our ability to monitor these third parties’ information security practices is limited, and these third parties may not have adequate information security measures in place. If our third-party service providers experience a security incident or other interruption, we may suffer adverse consequences. To the extent that any disruption or security breach results in a loss or damage to our data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we may incur liability, our drug discovery and development programs may be adversely affected and the further development of our product candidates may be delayed. While we may be entitled to damages if our third-party service providers fail to satisfy their privacy or security-related obligations to us, any award may be insufficient to cover our damages, or we may be unable to recover such award. Similarly, supply-chain attacks have increased in frequency and severity, and we cannot guarantee that third parties and infrastructure in our supply chain have not been compromised or that they do not contain exploitable defects or bugs that could result in a breach of or disruption to our information technology
63

systems (including our products/operational activities) or the third-party information technology systems that support us and our operational activities.

Any of the previously identified or similar threats could cause a security incident or other interruption that could result in unauthorized, unlawful or accidental acquisition, modification, destruction, loss, alteration, encryption, disclosure of, or access to, our sensitive information or our information technology systems, or those of the third parties upon whom we rely. A security incident or other interruption could disrupt our (and third parties upon whom we rely) ability to provide our products and could result in a material disruption of our drug discovery and development programs or theft of our intellectual property. We may expend significant resources or modify our business activities (including our clinical trial activities) in an effort to protect against security incidents.

Certain data privacy and security obligations may require us to implement and maintain specific security measures, or industry-standard or reasonable security measures to protect our information technology systems and sensitive information.

We devote internal and external resources to implementing security measures to protect our systems and customers, but these security measures cannot provide absolute security. We take steps to detect and remediate vulnerabilities, but we may be unable to detect vulnerabilities in our information technology systems (including our products) because such threats and techniques change frequently, are often sophisticated in nature, and may not be detected until after a security incident has occurred. Therefore, such vulnerabilities could be exploited but may not be detected until after a security incident has occurred. These vulnerabilities pose material risks to our business. Despite our efforts to identify and remediate vulnerabilities, if any, in our information technology systems (including our products), our efforts may not be successful. Further, we may experience delays in developing and deploying remedial measures designed to address any such identified vulnerabilities.

If we (or a third party upon whom we rely) experience a security incident or are perceived to have experienced a security incident, we may experience adverse consequences, such as government enforcement actions (for example, investigations, fines, penalties, audits, and inspections); additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; restrictions on processing sensitive information (including personal data); indemnification obligations; negative publicity; monetary fund diversions; interruptions in our operations (including availability of data); financial loss; litigation (including class claims), damage our brand and reputation, or otherwise events that may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Applicable data privacy and security obligations may require us to notify relevant stakeholders of security incidents. Such disclosures are costly, and the disclosure or the failure to comply with such requirements could lead to adverse impacts. Additionally, third parties may gather, collect, or infer sensitive information about us from public sources, data brokers, or other means that reveals competitively sensitive details about our organization and could be used to undermine our competitive advantage or market position. Additionally, our sensitive information could be leaked, disclosed, or revealed as a result of or in connection with our employee, personnel, or third-party service provider’s use of generative AI technologies.

Further, we cannot be certain that (a) our liability insurance will be adequate or sufficient in type or amount to cover us against claims or mitigate liabilities related to security breaches, cyberattacks and other related breaches; (b) such coverage will cover any indemnification claims against us relating to any incident; (c) that such coverage will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all; or (d) any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceeds available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. Our contracts may not contain limitations of liability, and even where they do, there can be no assurance that limitations of liability in our contracts are sufficient to protect us from liabilities, damages, or claims related to our data privacy and security obligations.

Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Capital Requirements

We will require additional financing and may be unable to raise sufficient capital, which could lead us to delay, reduce or abandon development programs or commercialization.*

Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since inception. Our research and development expenses were $114.8 million and $131.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $365.6 million and $390.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our net losses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $161.9 million and $173.6 million, respectively, and $523.4 million and $538.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $3.0 billion. Unless we timely consummate the Merger, we may require substantial additional capital to pursue additional clinical development for our lead clinical programs, including conducting late-stage clinical trials, manufacturing clinical supplies and developing other assets in our pipeline, and to commercialize any of our current product
64

candidates. If the FDA or any foreign regulatory agency, such as the EMA requires that we perform studies or trials in addition to those that we currently anticipate with respect to the development of our product candidates, or repeat studies or trials, or if our clinical trials are otherwise delayed or disrupted, our expenses would further increase beyond what we currently expect. We may not be able to adequately finance our development programs, which could limit our ability to move our programs forward in a timely and satisfactory manner or require us to abandon the programs, any of which would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Because successful development of our product candidates is uncertain, we are unable to accurately estimate the actual funds we will require to complete research and development, and commercialize any of our other product candidates.

If, at any point, we are unable to obtain funding from equity offerings or debt financings on a timely basis, we may be required to (1) seek additional collaborators for one or more of our product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; (2) relinquish or license on unfavorable terms our rights to technologies or product candidates that we otherwise would seek to develop or commercialize ourselves; or (3) significantly curtail one or more of our research or development programs or cease operations altogether.

We may not generate meaningful revenue from sales of products, including KRAZATI. If any of our other product candidates fail in clinical trials or do not gain regulatory approval, or if any of our product candidates, if approved, fail to achieve market acceptance, we may never become profitable. We anticipate incurring significant costs associated with commercializing KRAZATI and any other product candidates that are approved in the future. Therefore, even if we are able to generate revenue from the sale of KRAZATI or any other approved products, we may never become profitable. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. Our ability to generate future revenue from product sales depends heavily on our success in:

launching and commercializing KRAZATI in the United States for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC who have received at least one prior systemic therapy;

completing KRYSTAL-12 and other post-marketing commitments, which is a requirement of our accelerated approval for KRAZATI;

completing development and clinical trial programs for our other product candidates;

maintaining existing collaboration and licensing agreements and entering into additional ones;

seeking and obtaining marketing approvals for any product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials;

establishing and maintaining supply and manufacturing relationships with third parties;

successfully commercializing any other product candidates for which marketing approval is obtained; and

successfully establishing a sales force and marketing and distribution infrastructure.

We are an early commercial-stage company with one approved product and minimal product revenue. Consequently, we expect that our financial and operating results will vary significantly from period to period.

We are an early commercial-stage company that has incurred losses since its inception and expect to continue to incur substantial losses in the foreseeable future. Biopharmaceutical product development is a highly speculative undertaking and involves a substantial degree of uncertainty.

Our actual financial condition and operating results have varied significantly in the past and are expected to continue to fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter or year-to-year due to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. Factors relating to our business that may contribute to these fluctuations include:

the cost associated with launching and commercializing KRAZATI in the United States for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC who have received at least one prior systemic therapy;

the status and cost of KRYSTAL-12 and other post-marketing commitments, completion of which is a requirement of our accelerated approval for KRAZATI;

the cost associated with establishing, and the success of, our commercial team and U.S. sales force;
65


the success of our clinical trials through all phases of clinical development;

delays in the commencement, enrollment and timing of clinical trials;

delays due to force majeure;

our ability to secure and maintain collaborations, licensing or other arrangements for the future development and/or commercialization of our product candidates, as well as the terms of those arrangements;

our ability to obtain, as well as the timeliness of obtaining, additional funding to develop our product candidates;

the results of clinical trials or marketing applications for product candidates that may compete with our product candidates;

competition from existing products or new products that may receive marketing approval;

potential side effects of our product candidates that could delay or prevent approval or cause an approved drug to be taken off the market;

any delays in regulatory review and approval of our clinical development plans or product candidates;

our ability to identify and develop additional product candidates;

the ability of patients or healthcare providers to obtain coverage or sufficient reimbursement for our products;

our ability, and the ability of third parties such as CROs to adhere to clinical study and other regulatory requirements;

the ability of third-party manufacturers to manufacture our product candidates and key ingredients needed to conduct clinical trials and, if approved, successfully commercialize our products;

the costs to us, and our ability as well as the ability of any third-party collaborators, to obtain, maintain and protect our intellectual property rights;

costs related to, and outcomes of, potential intellectual property litigation;

our ability to adequately support future growth;

our ability to attract and retain key personnel to manage our business effectively; and

our ability to build our finance infrastructure and, to the extent required, improve our accounting systems and controls.

Accordingly, the likelihood of our success must be evaluated in light of many potential challenges and variables associated with an early commercial-stage company, many of which are outside of our control, and past operating or financial results should not be relied on as an indication of future results. Fluctuations in our operating and financial results could cause our share price to decline. It is possible that in some future periods, our operating results will be above or below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, which could also cause our share price to decline.

Raising additional funds through debt or equity financing will be dilutive and raising funds through licensing agreements may be dilutive, restrict operations or relinquish proprietary rights.

To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity, term or convertible debt securities, or structured royalties, the issuance of those securities could result in substantial dilution for our current shareholders and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our current shareholders. Existing shareholders may not agree with our financing plans or the terms of such financings. Our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and the recent disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets in the U.S. and worldwide resulting from the pandemic and recent bank failures. If the disruption persists and deepens, we could experience an inability to access additional capital, which could in the future negatively affect our capacity to fund research and development programs, including discovery research, preclinical and clinical development
66

activities. Moreover, the incurrence of debt financing could result in a substantial portion of our operating cash flow being dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness and could impose restrictions on our operations. In addition, if we raise additional funds through future collaboration and licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish potentially valuable rights to our products or proprietary technologies, or to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. Additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Such negative conditions could impact the rate at which we can successfully commercialize KRAZATI or any other drugs we develop.

Our ability to use our U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.
    
Our U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”), carryforwards generated in tax years beginning before January 1, 2018, are only permitted to be carried forward for 20 years under applicable U.S. tax law. Under current law, our federal NOLs generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such federal NOLs is limited to 80% of taxable income. It is uncertain if and to what extent various states will conform to federal tax laws. In addition, under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and corresponding provisions of state law, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” which is generally defined as a greater than 50% change, by value, in its equity ownership over a three-year period, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change NOL carryforwards and other pre-change U.S. tax attributes (such as research tax credits) to offset its post-change income or taxes may be limited.

As a result, our NOL carryforwards generated in tax years beginning before January 1, 2018 may expire prior to being used. In addition, we believe that we have in the past undergone, and in the future it is possible we may undergo, additional ownership changes that could limit our ability to use all of our pre-change NOLs and other pre-change tax attributes (such as research tax credits) to offset our post-change income or taxes. Similar provisions of state tax law may also apply to limit our use of accumulated state tax attributes. In addition, at the state level, there may be periods during which the use of NOLs or other tax attributes is suspended or otherwise limited, which could accelerate or permanently increase state taxes owed. As a result, we may be unable to use all or a material portion of our NOLs and other tax attributes, which could adversely affect our future cash flows.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

We may not obtain adequate protection for our product and product candidates through patents and other intellectual property rights and as such, our competitive advantage in the marketplace may be compromised.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to develop, secure and maintain intellectual property rights to our proprietary products, to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others or having third parties circumvent the rights that we own or license. We have filed and are actively pursuing patent applications in the United States, Japan, Europe and other major markets via the Patent Cooperation Treaty or directly in countries of interest. However, we may not receive issued patents on any of our pending patent applications in these countries and we may not be able to obtain, maintain or enforce our patents and other intellectual property rights which could impact our ability to compete effectively. We cannot be certain that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, courts in the United States or the patent offices and courts in foreign countries will consider the claims in our patents and applications covering any of our products in development as patentable. In addition, the scope of any of our issued patents may not be sufficiently broad to provide us with a competitive advantage. Furthermore, other parties may successfully challenge, invalidate or circumvent our issued patents or patents licensed to us so that our patent rights do not create an effective competitive barrier. Our method-of-use patents protect the use of a product only for the specified method. This type of patent does not prevent a competitor from making and marketing a product that is identical to our product for an indication that is outside the scope of the patented method. Moreover, even if competitors do not actively promote their product for our targeted indications, physicians may prescribe these products off-label. Although off-label prescriptions may infringe or contribute to the infringement of method-of-use patents, the practice is common and such infringement is difficult to prevent, including through legal action. Further, if the patent applications we own or license with respect to our programs, product, product candidates and/or companion diagnostic fail to issue, if their breadth or strength of protection is threatened, or if they fail to provide meaningful exclusivity for our product or product candidates, it could dissuade companies from collaborating with us to develop product candidates, and threaten our ability to commercialize future products.

We may file applications for trademark registrations in connection with our product candidates in various jurisdictions, including the United States. No assurance can be given that any of our trademark applications will be registered in the United States or elsewhere, or that the use of any registered or unregistered trademarks will confer a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Furthermore, even if we are successful in our trademark registrations, the FDA and regulatory authorities in other countries have their own process for drug nomenclature and their own views concerning appropriate proprietary names. The
67

loss, abandonment, or cancellation of any of our trademarks or trademark applications could negatively affect the success of the product or product candidates to which they relate.

Moreover, some of our know-how and technology which is not patented or not patentable may constitute trade secrets. Therefore, we require our consultants, advisors and collaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements and our employees to enter into invention and non-disclosure agreements. However, no assurance can be given that such agreements will provide for a meaningful protection of our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure of information. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurance that any of our employees, consultants, contract personnel or collaborators, either accidentally or through willful misconduct, will not cause serious negative impact to our programs and/or our strategy. All of our employees have signed confidentiality agreements, but there can be no assurance that they will not inadvertently or through their misconduct give trade secrets away.

Third-party patents or intellectual property infringement claims may result in a reduction in the scope of our patent protection and competitive exclusivity with respect to our product or product candidates. Patent litigation, including defense against third-party intellectual property claims, may result in us incurring substantial costs.

Our patents may be challenged by third parties from time to time, and we will have to defend our intellectual property rights. If we are involved in an intellectual property dispute, we may need to litigate to defend our rights or assert them against others. Disputes can involve arbitration, litigation or proceedings declared by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the International Trade Commission or foreign patent authorities. These disputes can result in the successful invalidation of our patents or reduction in scope so that our patent rights do not create an effective competitive barrier. Even if resolved in our favor, litigation or other legal proceedings relating to intellectual property claims may cause us to incur significant expenses and could distract our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments and if securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

It is possible that third parties will circumvent our patents by means of alternate designs or processes or file applications or be granted patents that would block or hamper our efforts. Further, a third party may claim that our products or technology infringe its patents or other intellectual property rights, as such we may have to discontinue or alter our products and processes, pay license fees or cease certain activities. We may not be able to obtain a license to needed intellectual property on favorable terms, if at all. There are many patents issued or applied for in the biotechnology industry, and we may not be aware of patents or patent applications held by others that relate to our business. This is especially true since patent applications in the United States and elsewhere are filed confidentially for the first 18 months. Moreover, the validity and breadth of biotechnology patents involve complex legal and factual questions for which important legal issues remain.

Maintaining our patents and applications requires timely payment of fees and other associated costs in the countries of filing, and we could inadvertently abandon a patent or patent application (or trademark or trademark application) due to non-payment of fees, or as a result of a failure to comply with filing deadlines or other requirements of the prosecution process, resulting in the loss of protection of certain intellectual property rights in a certain country. Alternatively, we, our collaborators or our patent counsel may take action resulting in a patent or patent application becoming abandoned which may not be able to be reinstated, or if reinstated, may suffer negative patent term adjustments. Any of these outcomes could hurt our ability to gain full patent protection for our products. Registered trademarks and/or applications for trademark registrations in the United States that belong to us are subject to similar risks as described above for patents and patent applications.

Third parties may seek to obtain approval of a generic version of approved products, including KRAZATI. Defense against entry of a generic product may result in us incurring substantial costs and ultimate failure to prevail against approval of a generic product could result in a substantial loss of market share and profits.

Even if we are successful in obtaining regulatory approval to sell any of our product candidates, other than KRAZATI, in one or more countries, we cannot be certain that our patents and other intellectual property rights will ultimately prevent approval during the patent term of generic products developed and commercialized by third parties. A generic manufacturer may seek approval of a generic version of any of our products in the United States by filing an Abbreviated New Drug Application with the FDA, asserting that our patents are invalid and/or unenforceable to maintain market exclusivity for KRAZATI or any of our other products, if approved. We cannot predict if, or when, one or more generic manufacturers may attempt to seek regulatory approval for a generic version of KRAZATI or any of our other products, if approved. There is no assurance that we will ultimately be successful in a court of law to prevent entry of a generic version of any of our products during the applicable patent term and we may incur substantial costs defending our patents and intellectual property rights. An inability to stop a generic manufacturer from selling a generic version of our products could result in a substantial loss of
68

market share and profits or even preclude the ability to continue to commercialize KRAZATI or any of our other products, if approved.

Risks Related to Our Shares of Common Stock

Our principal shareholders control the majority of our shares, and their actions may significantly influence matters submitted to our shareholders for approval and our share price.*

Based on the information available to us as of September 30, 2023, our shareholders and their affiliates who owned more than 5% of our outstanding common stock collectively owned 51.1% of our outstanding common stock. Boxer Capital, LLC (“Boxer Capital”) and its affiliates collectively own 9.5% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, in conjunction with certain financing transactions, we granted Boxer Capital the right to nominate a member of our Board of Directors and the right to appoint an observer on our Board of Directors. In addition, we granted Baker Brothers Advisors, LLC (“Baker Brothers”) the right to appoint an observer on our Board of Directors. Collectively Baker Brothers and Boxer Capital may have significant influence over matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including the election and removal of directors and the approval of any merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. Furthermore, if Boxer Capital, Baker Brothers, or any other of our major shareholders determine to exit from the industry or from their holdings in us, for whatever reason, the impact on our share price could be detrimental over a prolonged period of time.

Our bylaws, as amended (our “Bylaws”) provide that the Delaware Court of Chancery and other courts located in Delaware are the exclusive forums for certain disputes involving us and our shareholders, which could limit our shareholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or other shareholders.*

Our Bylaws provide that unless we consent to an alternative forum (an “Alternative Forum Consent”), the Delaware Court of Chancery will be the sole and exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a duty (including any fiduciary duty) owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents arising out of or relating to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation or our Bylaws (each, as may be amended from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware.

Our Bylaws also provide that in the event the Delaware Court of Chancery lacks subject matter jurisdiction over any such action or proceeding described in the prior paragraph, the sole and exclusive forum for such action or proceeding will be another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, unless the Delaware Court of Chancery (or such other state or federal court located in Delaware) has dismissed a prior action by the same plaintiff asserting the same claims because such court lacked personal jurisdiction. Our Bylaws further provide that unless we give an Alternative Forum Consent, the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

This choice of forum provision may limit a shareholder’s ability to bring certain claims in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our current and former directors, officers, employees, or other shareholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims, although our shareholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. If a court were to find this choice of forum provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Because we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, would be our shareholders’ only source of gain.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common shares, and we currently expect that earnings, if any, and cash flow will primarily be retained and used in our operations, including servicing any debt obligations we may have now or in the future. Accordingly, although we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future, we may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow in order to allow us to pay future dividends on, or make any distributions with respect to, our common stock. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock would be our shareholders’ sole source of gain on their investment in our common stock for the foreseeable future.

General Risks

As a public company in the United States, we incur significant legal and financial compliance costs and we are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We can provide no assurance that we will, at all times, in the future be able to report that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective.
    
Companies that file reports with the SEC, including us, are subject to the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires management to establish and maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, and annual reports on Form 10-K filed under the Exchange Act must contain a report from management assessing the effectiveness of a company’s internal control over financial reporting. Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis remains a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be re-evaluated frequently. Failure on our part to have effective internal financial and accounting controls would cause our financial reporting to be unreliable, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition, and could cause our stock price to decline as a result.

If we cannot conclude that we have effective internal control over our financial reporting, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified opinion regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements. Failure to comply with reporting requirements could also subject us to sanctions and/or investigations by the SEC, The Nasdaq Global Select Market or other regulatory authorities.

Furthermore, shareholder activism, the current political environment and the current high level of government intervention and regulatory reform may lead to substantial new regulations and disclosure obligations, which may lead to additional compliance costs and impact the manner in which we operate our business in ways we cannot currently anticipate. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, any new regulations or disclosure obligations may increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

Our share price is volatile and may be influenced by numerous factors that are beyond our control.*

A low share price and low market valuation may make it difficult to raise sufficient additional cash due to the significant dilution to current shareholders. Market prices for shares of biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies such as ours are often volatile. Factors such as clinical and regulatory developments regarding our products or processes, developments regarding potential or future third-party collaborators, announcements of technological innovations, new commercial products, patents, the development of proprietary rights by us or by others or any litigation relating to these rights, regulatory actions, general conditions in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, failure to meet analysts’ expectations, publications, financial results or public concern over the safety of biopharmaceutical and biotechnological products, economic conditions in the United States and other countries, including the recent bank failures, terrorism and other factors could have a significant effect on the share price for our shares of common stock. Any setback or delay in the clinical development of our programs could result in a significant decrease in our share price. In recent years the stock of other biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies has experienced extreme price fluctuations that have been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. There can be no assurance that the market price of our shares of common stock will not experience significant fluctuations in the future, including fluctuations that are unrelated to our performance. These fluctuations may result due to macroeconomic and world events, national or local events, general perception of the biotechnology industry or to a lack of liquidity. In addition, other biotechnology companies’ or our competitors’ programs could have positive or negative results that impact their stock prices and their results or experience stock price fluctuations that could have a positive or negative impact on our stock price, regardless of whether such impact is direct or not.

shareholders may not agree with our business, scientific, clinical and financial strategy, including additional dilutive financings, and may decide to sell their shares or vote against such proposals. Such actions could materially impact our stock price. In addition, portfolio managers of funds or large investors can change or change their view on us and decide to sell our shares. These actions could have a material impact on our stock price. In order to complete a financing, or for other business reasons, we may elect to consolidate our shares of common stock. Investors may not agree with these actions and may sell our shares. We may have little or no ability to impact or alter such decisions.
70


Changes in tax laws or regulations that are applied adversely to us or our future potential customers may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, financial condition or results of operations.

New income, sales, use or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be enacted at any time, which could adversely affect our business operations and financial performance. Effective January 1, 2022, legislation enacted in 2017, informally titled the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, eliminated the option to deduct research and development expenses for tax purposes in the year incurred and requires taxpayers to capitalize and subsequently amortize such expenses over five years for research activities conducted in the United States and over 15 years for research activities conducted outside the United States. Unless the United States Department of the Treasury issues regulations that narrow the application of this provision to a smaller subset of our research and development expenses or the provision is deferred, modified, or repealed by Congress, we expect a material decrease in our cash flows from operations and an offsetting similarly sized increase in our net deferred tax assets over these amortization periods. The actual impact of this provision will depend on multiple factors, including the amount of research and development expenses we will incur and whether we conduct our research and development activities inside or outside the United States. Further, existing tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us. For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and the IRA enacted many significant changes to the U.S. tax laws. Future guidance from the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities with respect to such legislation may affect us, and certain aspects of such legislation could be repealed or modified in future legislation. Furthermore, it is uncertain if and to what extent various states will conform to federal tax laws. Future tax reform legislation could have a material impact on the value of our deferred tax assets, could result in significant one-time charges, and could increase our future U.S. tax expense.

Future sales and issuances of our common stock or rights to purchase common stock, including pursuant to our equity incentive plans, could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause our stock price to fall.

We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in more than one transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. These sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and new investors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.

Pursuant to our 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (successor to the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan) and our 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), our management is authorized to grant stock options, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards to our employees, directors and consultants, and to sell our common stock to our employees, respectively. Pursuant to the inducement plan, the Board of Directors is authorized to grant stock options, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards to new employees who satisfy the standards for inducement grants in accordance with the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC listing rules. Any increase in the number of shares outstanding as a result of the exercise of outstanding options, the vesting or settlement of outstanding stock awards, or the purchase of shares pursuant to the ESPP will cause our shareholders to experience additional dilution, which could cause our stock price to fall.

Re:    Separation Agreement

Dear David:
This letter sets forth the substance of the separation agreement (the “Agreement”) that Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) is offering to you to aid in your employment transition.
1.Separation; Final Pay. In connection with a mutual separation, you hereby submit, and the Company accepts, your resignation as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and as an officer, director and/or employee of (and any similar position with) any subsidiaries or affiliates of the Company, effective as of August 7, 2023 (the “Separation Date”), such that you will no longer hold such positions with or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates. The resignations from your positions set forth above are not contingent or conditioned on the occurrence of any other events, and are effective regardless of whether this Agreement becomes effective in accordance with Section 8(e) below. On the Separation Date, the Company will pay you all accrued wages, and all accrued and unused vacation earned through the Separation Date, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings. You are entitled to these payments regardless of whether or not you sign this Agreement.
2.Severance Benefits. If you timely sign and return this Agreement to the Company, allow the releases contained herein to become effective, remain available after your Separation Date to answer any questions from the Company regarding your previous job duties, and comply with all of your legal and contractual obligations to the Company, then the Company will provide you with the severance benefits (the “Severance Benefits”) to which you would be entitled upon an Involuntary Termination on the Separation Date pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. Executive Severance Plan effective as of November 6, 2022 (the “Severance Plan”). A schedule of your cash Severance Benefits and your equity awards that are eligible for acceleration under this paragraph has been separately provided to you. In addition, in the event the Company publicly announces the execution of a definitive agreement to consummate a Change in Control (as defined in the Severance Plan) within three months of the termination of the Consulting Period (as defined below), and such Change in Control is consummated within twelve months of the date of such public announcement, then in lieu of any additional compensation otherwise provided for in Section 2.2 of the Severance Plan, and provided that you sign and return to the Company an additional release in a form to be provided by the Company that is substantially consistent with the provisions of Sections 8 through 15 below and allow the releases contained therein become effective, then you shall receive a cash lump sum payment (the “Supplemental Payment”) in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the product of the number of restricted stock units forfeited as of the Separation Date (53,203 restricted stock units as illustrated in Column K of Exhibit A) and the per share merger consideration as defined within the definitive Change in Control agreement plus (ii) the in-the-money value of all outstanding options as of the Separation Date (as illustrated in Exhibit A), the value of which is calculated upon consummation of the Change in Control by taking the


Page 2

difference between the per share merger consideration as defined within the definitive agreement and the exercise price of each stock option, LESS the in-the-money value of any cashless exercise that occurred between the Separation Date and the consummation of such Change in Control. Such Supplemental Payment shall be payable to you in a lump sum, subject to applicable payroll deductions and tax withholdings, on the first regular payroll date of the Company following the closing of such Change in Control, provided that all required releases have become effective by their terms by such date.
3.Consulting Relationship. Although the Company has no obligation to do so, if you timely sign this Agreement, allow it to become effective, comply with your obligations under this Agreement, then the Company agrees to retain you, and you agree to provide consulting services for the Company, under the following terms and conditions (the “Consulting Relationship”):
(a)Consulting Period. The Consulting Relationship will be deemed to have commenced on the Separation Date and will continue until October 15, 2023 unless the Consulting Relationship has already been terminated earlier pursuant to Section 3(g) below (the “Consulting Period”).
(b)Consulting Services. You agree to provide consulting services to the Company in any area of your expertise, including but not limited to, providing strategic advice and counseling as requested by the Board, and completing other assignments as requested (the “Consulting Services”). You agree to exercise the highest degree of professionalism and utilize your expertise and creative talents in performing these services. You agree to make yourself available to perform such Consulting Services throughout the Consulting Period, on an as-needed basis. You will not be required to report to the Company’s offices during the Consulting Period, except as specifically requested by the Company. When providing such services, you shall abide by the Company’s policies and procedures.
(c)Independent Contractor Relationship. Your relationship with the Company during the Consulting Period will be that of an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or should be construed to, create a partnership, agency, joint venture or employment relationship after the Separation Date. Other than your COBRA rights, you will not be entitled to any of the benefits that the Company may make available to its employees, including but not limited to, group health or life insurance, profit-sharing or retirement benefits, and you acknowledge and agree that your relationship with the Company during the Consulting Period will not be subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act or other laws or regulations governing employment relationships.
(d)Consideration for Consulting Services. As sole consideration for the Consulting Services during the Consulting Period, the Company will extend the period during which you may exercise your outstanding stock options to the date that is ninety (90) days following the termination of the Consulting Period. Notwithstanding the fact that your Consulting Services provided during the Consulting Period would constitute Continuous Service (as defined in the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan), you acknowledge and agree that, effective as of your Separation Date, you shall cease vesting as to any unvested portion of your equity awards granted to you by the Company. Any stock options that are “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code shall cease to be “incentive stock options” upon the three month anniversary of the Separation Date.  Except as otherwise contemplated by this Section 3(d), your rights to exercise or otherwise acquire any vested shares shall be governed and controlled by the applicable equity incentive plan of the Company under


Page 3

which your award was granted and your applicable grant documents (the “Equity Documents”). All terms, conditions and limitations applicable to such equity awards will continue to be subject to the applicable Equity Documents.
(e)Limitations on Authority. You will have no responsibilities or authority as a consultant to the Company other than as provided above. You will have no authority to bind the Company to any contractual obligations, whether written, oral or implied, except with the written authorization of the Board. You agree not to represent or purport to represent the Company in any manner whatsoever to any third party (including but not limited to customers, potential customers, investors, business partners or vendors), unless authorized by the Board, in writing, to do so.
(f)Confidential Information and Inventions. You agree that, during the Consulting Period and thereafter, you will not use or disclose, other than in furtherance of the Consulting Services, any confidential or proprietary information or materials of the Company, including any confidential or proprietary information that you obtain or develop in the course of performing the Consulting Services. Any and all work product you create in the course and scope of performing the Consulting Services will be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. You hereby assign to the Company all right, title, and interest in and to all inventions, techniques, processes, materials, and other intellectual property developed in the course and scope of performing the Consulting Services. You further acknowledge and reaffirm your continuing obligations under your previously executed PIIAA (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing nondisclosure obligations, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1833(b), you will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made: (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.
(g)Early Termination of Consulting Period. If, during the Consulting Period, you materially breach this Agreement (including any material breach of any of the representations, warranties or commitments made by you in this Agreement) or your continuing obligations owed to the Company (including but not limited to those in the PIIAA), the Company has the right to immediately terminate the Consulting Period upon written notice to you.
(h)Other Work Activities / Representations. Throughout the Consulting Period, you retain the right to engage in employment, consulting, or other work relationships in addition to your Consulting Services for the Company, so long as such activities do not present a conflict of interest with the Company’s business, or interfere with your continuing obligations owed to the Company. In the event that it is unclear to you whether a particular activity would breach this commitment, you agree to contact the Board to seek clarification. You represent and warrant that you are self-employed in an independently established trade, occupation, or business, maintain and operate a business that is separate and independent from the Company’s business, hold yourself out to the public as independently competent and available to provide applicable services similar to the Consulting Services, have obtained and/or expect to obtain clients or customers other than the Company for whom you will perform services, and will perform work for the Company that you understand is outside the usual course of the Company’s business.
4.No Other Compensation or Benefits. You acknowledge that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, you have not earned and will not receive from the


Page 4

Company any additional compensation (including base salary, bonus, incentive compensation, equity, equity acceleration, or vesting), severance, or benefits before or after the Separation Date, with the exception of any vested right you may have under the express terms of a written ERISA-qualified benefit plan (e.g., 401(k) account).
5.Expense Reimbursements. You agree that, within ten (10) business days after the Separation Date, you will submit your final documented expense reimbursement statement reflecting all business expenses you incurred through the Separation Date, if any, for which you seek reimbursement. The Company also agrees to reimburse you up to $25,000 to cover your reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with this Agreement. The Company will reimburse you for these expenses pursuant to its regular business practice.
6.Return of Company Property. You represent and acknowledge that promptly following the Separation Date you will return to the Company all Company documents (and all copies thereof) and other Company property that you have had in your possession at any time, including, but not limited to, Company files, notes, drawings, records, business plans and forecasts, financial information, specifications, computer-recorded information, tangible property (including, but not limited to, any computer, mobile phone, iPad or projector), credit cards, entry cards, identification badges, and keys, and any materials of any kind that contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information of the Company (and all reproductions thereof), including, but not limited to, information regarding contacts with the Company’s customers and vendors. You represent that you will make a diligent search to locate any such documents, property and information within the required timeframe. In addition, if you have used any personally owned computer, server, e-mail system, mobile phone, portable electronic device (e.g., smartphone, iPad or the like), (collectively, “Personal Systems”) to receive, store, prepare or transmit any Company confidential or proprietary data, materials or information, then within five (5) business days after the Separation Date, you will permanently delete and expunge all such Company confidential or proprietary information from such Personal Systems without retaining any copy or reproduction in any form (in whole or in part). You agree that, after the applicable timeframes noted above, you will neither use nor possess Company property. Your timely compliance with this paragraph is a condition precedent to your receipt of the Severance Benefits described above.
7.No Admissions. You understand and agree that the promises and payments in consideration of this Agreement shall not be construed to be an admission of any liability or obligation by the Company to you or to any other person, and that the Company makes no such admission.
8.Release of Claims.
(a)General Release. In exchange for the consideration provided to you under this Agreement, you hereby generally and completely release the Company, and its affiliated, related, parent and subsidiary entities, and its and their current and former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, agents, attorneys, predecessors, successors, insurers, affiliates, and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, liabilities and obligations, both known and unknown, that arise out of or are in any way related to events, acts, conduct, or omissions occurring prior to or on the date you sign this Agreement (collectively, the “Released Claims”).
(b)Scope of Release. The Released Claims include, but are not limited to: (i) all claims arising out of or in any way related to your employment with the Company, or the


Page 5

termination of that employment; (ii) all claims related to your compensation or benefits from the Company, including salary, bonuses, commissions, vacation, expense reimbursements, severance pay, fringe benefits, stock, stock options, or any other ownership, equity, or profits interests in the Company; (iii) all claims for breach of contract, wrongful termination, and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (iv) all tort claims, including claims for fraud, defamation, emotional distress, and discharge in violation of public policy; and (v) all federal, state, and local statutory claims, including claims for discrimination, harassment, retaliation, attorneys’ fees, or other claims arising under the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended), the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (as amended) (the “ADEA”), the California Labor Code (as amended), and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (as amended). You acknowledge that you have been advised, consistent with California Government Code Section 12964.5(b)(4), that you have the right to consult an attorney regarding this Agreement and that you were given a reasonable time period of not less than five (5) business days in which to do so. You further acknowledge and agree that, in the event you sign this Agreement prior to the end of the reasonable time period provided by the Company, your decision to accept such shortening of time is knowing and voluntary and is not induced by the Company through fraud, misrepresentation, or a threat to withdraw or alter the offer prior to the expiration of the reasonable time period, or by providing different terms to employees who sign such an agreement prior to the expiration of the time period.
(c)Excluded Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following are not included in the Released Claims (the “Excluded Claims”): (i) any rights or claims for indemnification you may have pursuant to any written indemnification agreement with the Company to which you are a party or under applicable law; (ii) any rights which are not waivable as a matter of law (such as claims for vested right you may have under the express terms of a written ERISA-qualified benefit plan, or claims for unemployment benefits or workers compensation); and (iii) any claims for breach of this Agreement.
(d)Protected Rights. You understand that nothing in this Agreement limits your ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”). You further understand this Agreement does not limit your ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. While this Agreement does not limit your right to receive an award for information provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission, you understand and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, you are otherwise waiving any and all rights you may have to individual relief based on any claims that you have released and any rights you have waived by signing this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement (i) prevents you from discussing or disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that you have reason to believe is unlawful; or (ii) waives any rights you may have under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, if applicable (subject to the release of claims set forth herein).
(e)ADEA Waiver. You acknowledge that you are knowingly and voluntarily waiving and releasing any rights you may have under the ADEA, and that the consideration given for the waiver and release in this section is in addition to anything of value to which you


Page 6

are already entitled. You further acknowledge that you have been advised, as required by the ADEA, that: (i) your waiver and release do not apply to any rights or claims that may arise after the date that you sign this Agreement; (ii) you should consult with an attorney prior to signing this Agreement (although you may choose voluntarily not to do so); (iii) you have twenty-one (21) calendar days to consider this Agreement (although you may choose voluntarily to sign it earlier), and you agree that changes to this Agreement, whether material or immaterial, do not restart the running of the twenty-one (21) calendar day period; (iv) you have seven (7) calendar days following the date you sign this Agreement to revoke it (by providing written notice of your revocation to me); and (v) this Agreement will not be effective until the date upon which the revocation period has expired, which will be the eighth calendar day after the date that this Agreement is signed by you provided that you do not revoke it (the “Effective Date”).
9.Section 1542 Waiver. In giving the release herein, which includes claims which may be unknown to you at present, you acknowledge that you have read and understand Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads as follows:
“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
You hereby expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any other jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to your release of claims herein, including but not limited to your release of unknown claims.
10.Representations. You hereby represent that you have been paid all compensation owed and for all hours worked, have received all the leave and leave benefits and protections for which you are eligible pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act, the California Family Rights Act, or otherwise, and have not suffered any on-the-job injury for which you have not already filed a workers’ compensation claim.
11.Continuing Obligations; Inside Information Obligations. You acknowledge and reaffirm your continuing obligations under your Employee Proprietary Information and Invention Assignment Agreement (the “PIIAA”), attached hereto as Exhibit B, which is incorporated herein by reference, and agree to abide by those continuing obligations. You acknowledge your continuing obligations under the Company’s Policy Against Trading on the Basis of Inside Information, a copy of which will be sent to you.
12.Mutual Non-Disparagement. Except to the extent permitted by the “Protected Rights” section above, you agree not to disparage the Company, its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and agents, in any manner which is false, disparaging, negative or derogatory, or likely to be harmful to its or their business, business reputation, or personal reputation, including, but not limited to, through any postings via the internet, such as postings on LinkedIn, www.cafepharma.com or other social media; provided that you may respond accurately and fully to any request for information if required by legal process or in connection with a government investigation. In addition, nothing in this provision or this Agreement prohibits or restrains you from making disclosures protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal or state law or from exercising your rights to engage in protected speech under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, if applicable. The Company will instruct members of the Board and executive officers of the Company not to disparage you in any manner which is false, disparaging, negative or derogatory, or likely to be


Page 7

harmful to your business reputation or personal reputation, including, but not limited to, through any postings via the internet, such as postings on LinkedIn, www.cafepharma.com or other social media; provided that the Company will instruct such individuals that they may respond accurately and fully to any request for information if required by legal process or in connection with a government investigation.
13.References. If contacted by an actual or prospective employer, the Company will only provide the dates of your former employment and the last position/title held by you.
14.No Voluntary Adverse Action; Cooperation. You agree that you will not voluntarily (except in response to legal compulsion or as permitted under the section of this Agreement entitled “Protected Rights”) assist any person in bringing or pursuing any proposed or pending litigation, arbitration, administrative claim or other formal proceeding against the Company, its parent or subsidiary entities, affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents. You agree to cooperate fully with the Company in connection with its actual or contemplated defense, prosecution, or investigation of any claims or demands by or against third parties, or other matters arising from events, acts, or failures to act that occurred during the period of your employment by the Company. Such cooperation includes, without limitation, making yourself available to the Company upon reasonable notice, without subpoena, to provide complete, truthful and accurate information in witness interviews, depositions, and trial testimony.

THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is effective on September 9, 2023 (the “Effective Date”) by and between MIRATI THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation with principal offices at 3545 Cray Court, San Diego, CA 92121 (the “Company”) and LAURIE STELZER, an individual residing at 6125 N. 31st Ct., Phoenix, AZ 85016 (“Consultant”). Company and Consultant may be referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

WHEREAS Company desires to benefit from Consultant’s expertise by retaining Consultant as a consultant, and Consultant wishes to perform the Services (as defined herein) for Company, as provided for below during a transitionary period following the Effective Date. Accordingly, Company and Consultant agree as follows:

1.ENGAGEMENT OF SERVICES. Consultant agrees to provide consulting services to Company as described in Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the Services”) during the Term (as defined herein) of this Agreement. Consultant may not subcontract or otherwise delegate his or her obligations under this Agreement without Company’s prior written consent, whether to his/her Representatives (as defined herein) or otherwise. Consultant shall comply fully with all applicable laws, rules and regulations governing such Services, as well as with any applicable policies of the Company.

2.COMPENSATION, PROVISION OF EQUIPMENT. As sole compensation for the performance of the Services, Company will pay to Consultant the amount(s) specified in Exhibit A hereto (the “Compensation”).

3.INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIP. Consultant’s relationship with Company will be that of an independent contractor. No relationship of employer and employee, or partners, or joint venturers, or agent and principal shall be created by this Agreement and Consultant shall not be authorized to make any representation or enter into any contract or commitment on behalf of Company, unless expressly authorized to do so in writing by Company. Consultant’s relationship with Company being that of an independent contractor, Consultant shall be barred from making any claim against Company for disability coverage, health and dental coverage, minimum wage, insurance coverage, unemployment insurance benefits, vacation pay, sick leave, or any other employee benefit of any kind and Consultant shall not be entitled to any of the benefits that Company may make available to its employees. Company will not withhold or make payments for social security, make unemployment insurance or disability insurance contributions, or obtain worker’s compensation insurance on Consultant’s behalf. Consultant accepts exclusive liability for complying with all applicable state and federal laws governing self-employed individuals and for making payments corresponding thereto and Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the Consultant is fully responsible for all such matters and shall indemnify the Company as well as its successor companies, affiliated and subsidiaries (“Company Indemnitees”) for any costs incurred by Company Indemnitees or arising as a result of the Consultant’s failure to make such payments, remittances or withholdings, including without limitation penalties and interest.



4.TRADE SECRETS; INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

4.1Proprietary Information. Consultant agrees that it will take all steps reasonably necessary to hold Proprietary Information in trust and confidence, will not use Proprietary Information in any manner or for any purpose not expressly set forth in this Agreement, and will not disclose any such Proprietary Information to any third party without first obtaining Company’s express written consent; provided that Consultant will limit access to the Proprietary Information to only Consultant’s Representatives who have a need to know such Proprietary Information to support Consultant’s performance hereunder and have signed confidentiality agreements containing, or are otherwise bound by, confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those contained herein; and provided further that in all cases Consultant shall be legally and financially responsible for all losses, damages, and claims suffered by Company caused by or arising from Consultant’s Representative’s receipt, use or disclosure of Proprietary Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Proprietary Information” means all information provided to or received by Consultant regarding Company and/or its Affiliates, and includes without limitation: (a) ideas, gene sequences, cell lines, samples, media, chemical compounds, formulations, assays, biological materials, charts, diagrams, sketches, drawings, works of authorship, research results, reports, models, processes, methods, apparatuses, equipment, algorithms, software programs, and formulae, other works of authorship, know- how, improvements, inventions, discoveries, creations, concepts, developments, designs and techniques (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Inventions"); (b) information regarding plans for research, experimental work, development, design details and specifications, engineering, new products, marketing and selling, business plans and forecasts, budgets and nonpublic financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, suppliers, customers, investors, partners and customers; and (c) information regarding the skills and compensation of employees of Company and/or its Affiliates. In addition and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Company Work Product (defined below) shall constitute Proprietary Information. “Affiliate” means, with respect to either Party, any business entity Controlling, Controlled by, or under common Control with such Party; provided that for purposes of the definition of “Affiliate”, “Control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct the management or policies of the business entity, whether through the ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities or other ownership interest of a business entity, or by contract or otherwise. "Representatives" means, with respect to a Party, such Party’s Affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, investors and legal counsel.

4.2Third Party Information. Consultant understands that Company has received and will in the future receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and use it only for certain limited purposes. Consultant agrees to hold Third Party Information in confidence and not to disclose to third parties or to use, except in connection with Consultant’s work for Company, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized in writing by an officer of Company.

4.3No Conflict of Interest. Consultant agrees not to accept work or enter into a contract or accept an obligation, inconsistent or incompatible with Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement or the scope of the Services rendered for Company. Consultant warrants




that to the best of its knowledge, there is no other existing contract or duty on Consultant’s part inconsistent with this Agreement. Consultant further agrees not to disclose to Company, or bring onto Company’s premises, or induce Company to use any confidential information that belongs to anyone other than Company or Consultant.

1.1Work Product; Prior Work Product. As used in this Agreement, the term “Work Product” means any Invention, whether or not patentable, and all related know-how, designs, trademarks, formulae, processes, manufacturing techniques, trade secrets, ideas, artwork, software or other copyrightable or patentable works. Consultant agrees to disclose promptly in writing to Company all Work Product which is solely or jointly conceived, discovered, developed, made, reduced to practice, or learned by Consultant and/or its Representatives in the course of any Services performed for Company (“Company Work Product”). Consultant represents that any Work Product relating to Company’s business or the Services which Consultant has conceived, discovered, developed, made, reduced to practice or learned prior to and up to the time of signing this Agreement (“Prior Work Product”) has been disclosed in writing to Company. Consultant agrees that any and all Company Work Product conceived, discovered, developed, made, reduced to practice or learned in the performance of Services under this Agreement by Consultant and/or its Representatives shall be the sole and exclusive property of Company.

1.2Assignment of Company Work Product. Consultant irrevocably assigns to Company all right, title, and interest worldwide in and to Company Work Product and all applicable intellectual property rights related to Company Work Product, including without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, moral rights, contract, and licensing rights, and to the fullest extent possible by law and to the fullest extent under California Labor Code §§ 2870-2872, whether or not applicable to independent contractors. Except as set forth below, Consultant retains no rights to use Company Work Product and agrees not to challenge the validity of Company’s ownership in Company Work Product. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to payment of the Compensation, Consultant hereby grants to Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, and world-wide right, with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees, to make, have made, use, sell, have sold, reproduce, make derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display in any form or medium whether now known or later developed, any Prior Work Product incorporated or used in Company Work Product for the purpose of developing and marketing Company products. If Consultant has any rights to Company Work Product that cannot be assigned to Company, Consultant unconditionally and irrevocably waives the enforcement of such rights and all claims and causes of action of any kind against Company with respect to such rights. If Consultant has any right to Company Work Product that cannot be assigned to Company or waived by Consultant, Consultant unconditionally and irrevocably grants to Company during the term of such rights, an exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, fully paid and royalty- free license, with rights to sublicense through multiple levels of sublicensees, to make, have made, use, sell, have sold, reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform and publicly display by all means now known or later developed, such Company Work Product and rights therein. Consultant shall require that any Representative of Consultant that performs any aspect of the Services, as approved by Company, shall agree to assign, and shall assign, to Consultant all of his/her/its right, title and interest in and to the Company Work Product, such that Consultant is able to satisfy its obligations to Company hereunder. Consultant agrees to




cooperate with Company or its designee(s), both after the Effective Date and during and after the Term of this Agreement, in the procurement and maintenance of Company’s rights in Company Work Product, and to execute, when requested, any other documents deemed necessary by Company to carry out the purpose of this Agreement.

5.TERMINATION; RETURN OF COMPANY PROPERTY.

5.1Term; Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall govern all Services that Consultant provides to Company commencing on the Effective Date and ending November 8, 2023 (hereinafter the “Term”), unless earlier terminated or extended pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. During the Term, the parties may negotiate and mutually agree to extend the Term for a fixed period. During the Term of the Agreement and during any mutually agreed upon extensions to the Term, Consultant’s outstanding equity awards will continue to vest. Either Party may terminate this Agreement for convenience, for any or no reason, at any time upon thirty (15) calendar days’ prior written notice to the other Party. Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party if the other Party breaches this Agreement and does not cure the breach within thirty (15) calendar days following receipt of written notice thereof from the non-breaching Party. Such right to terminate this Agreement for breach shall be in addition to any other remedies available to the terminating Party at law. In case of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5 hereof, Consultant shall not be entitled to receive any termination pay, severance pay, or any damages or other payments arising from the termination of this Agreement, other than the unpaid Compensation effectively earned up to the date of termination of this Agreement, if any.

5.2Return of Company Property. Except as otherwise directed by Company in writing, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Consultant will return to Company all tangible Company property provided or loaned to Consultant hereunder. Further upon expiration or termination of the Agreement, or earlier as requested by Company, Consultant will deliver to Company any and all drawings, notes, memoranda, specifications, devices, formulas, and documents, together with all copies thereof, and any other material containing or disclosing any Company Work Product, Third Party Information, or Proprietary Information.

5.3Survival. The following provisions shall survive termination of this Agreement: Sections 4, 5.2, 5.3, and 6.

6.GENERAL PROVISIONS.

6.1Indemnification. Consultant shall indemnify, defend and hold Company, its affiliates and subsidiaries and their officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all claims, charges, demands, suits, causes or rights of action, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, fees and/or expenses, of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and out-of-pocket expenses) suffered or incurred by Company and its affiliates and subsidiaries arising from the rendering of the Services by the Consultant.

6.2Governing Law, Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed, including as to validity, interpretation and effect, by the laws of the State of California.




6.3Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. If moreover, any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity, or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear.

6.4Opportunity to Obtain Legal Advice. The parties acknowledge that they have read and negotiated this Agreement, have discussed and have been afforded a reasonable opportunity to obtain independent legal advice and consider the meaning and effects of this Agreement.

6.5Assignment, Binding Effect. This Agreement may not be assigned by Consultant without Company’s consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect. The Consultant hereby recognizes being personally bound by the obligations contained herein and agrees that the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon its heirs, executors, administrators and representatives.

6.6Notices. All notices, requests, and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing and must be mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, delivered by hand, sent by internationally-recognized courier service, or sent by electronic mail, to the Party to whom such notice is required or permitted to be given. If mailed, any such notice will be considered to have been given five (5) business days after it was mailed, as evidenced by the postmark. If delivered by hand or internationally-recognized courier service, any such notice will be considered to have been given when received by the Party to whom notice is given, as evidenced by written and dated receipt of the receiving Party or by written confirmation of delivery by such internationally-recognized courier service, respectively. If sent by electronic mail, such notice will be considered to have been given upon receipt by the sending Party of receiving Party’s written confirmation of receipt of such notice. The mailing address for notice to either Party will be the address shown on the first page of this Agreement. Either Party may change its mailing address by notice as provided by this section.

6.7Legal Fees. If any dispute arises between the parties with respect to the matters covered by this Agreement which leads to a proceeding to resolve such dispute, the prevailing party in such proceeding shall be entitled to receive its reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, and out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such proceeding, in addition to any other relief it may be awarded.

6.8Injunctive Relief. A breach of any of the promises or agreements contained in this Agreement may result in irreparable and continuing damage to Company for which there may be no adequate remedy at law, and Company is therefore entitled to seek injunctive relief, with any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with seeking such relief hereby being waived, as well as such other and further relief as may be appropriate.




6.9Waiver. No waiver by Company of any breach of this Agreement shall be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach. No waiver by Company of any right under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other right. Company shall not be required to give notice to enforce strict adherence to all terms of this Agreement.

6.10Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties shall be entitled to rely upon delivery of an executed facsimile or similar executed electronic copy of this Agreement, and such facsimile or similar executed electronic copy shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement between the Parties.

6.11Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the final, complete, and exclusive agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions between the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by the Party to be charged. The terms of this Agreement will govern all Services undertaken by Consultant for Company.




In Witness Whereof, the Parties have caused this Consulting Agreement to be executed as of the Effective Date set forth above.

EXHIBIT A
Severance Policy for Vice Presidents & Sr. Vice Presidents
This policy refers to any circumstance under which a Senior Vice President or Vice President ceases to be part of Mirati Therapeutic, Inc.'s (the "Company") workforce. It is beneficial for all parties that the employment separation process is as clear as possible so misunderstandings and distrust between the employee and the Company can be avoided.
1. At-Will Employment. A Vice President/Senior Vice President's employment relationship is at-will. Either you or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without Cause (as defined below). The at-will nature of the employment may not be altered unless in writing and signed by the employee and the Chief Executive Officer.
2. Termination of Employment; Severance and Change in Control Benefits
2.1. Involuntary Termination. If you are subject to an Involuntary Termination that does not occur within the Change in Control Period, the Company shall pay to you the Accrued Amounts and in addition, you will be entitled to the benefits set forth in this Section 2.1 (the "Severance Benefits"), subject to your satisfaction of all the conditions described in Section 2.4 below. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall you be entitled to benefits under both Section 2.1 and this Section 2.2. If you are eligible for benefits under both Section 2.1 and





this Section 2.2, you shall receive the benefits set forth in this Section 2.2 and such benefits shall be reduced by any benefits previously provided to you under Section 2.1.
2.1.1. Cash Severance. You will receive a cash payment equal to 12 months (the "Severance Period") of your Base Salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to your Involuntary Termination (but without giving effect to any prior reduction to Base Salary by the Company which would give rise to your right to resign for Good Reason), subject to applicable payroll deductions and tax withholdings (the "Severance Payment"). The Severance Payment shall be paid to you in a lump sum on the first regular payroll date of the Company following the effective date of the Release.
2.1.2. Accelerated Vesting. The vesting and exercisability of all outstanding options, restricted stock unit awards, and other equity awards covering the Company's common stock that are held by you as of immediately prior to the Involuntary Termination, to the extent such equity awards would otherwise have vested solely conditioned on your continued services with the Company, shall accelerate vesting in accordance with their applicable vesting schedules as if you had completed an additional twelve months of service with the Company equal to the Severance Period as of the date of Involuntary Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, equity awards which vest wholly or partially subject to the attainment of performance goals are not eligible to accelerate vesting pursuant to this subsection.
2.1.3. Payment of Continued Group Health Plan Benefit If you are eligible for and timely elect continued group health plan coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 or any state law of similar effect ("COBRA") following your Involuntary Termination, the Company will pay your COBRA group health insurance premiums for you and your eligible dependents directly to the insurer until the earliest of (A) the end of the period immediately following your Involuntary Termination that is equal to the Severance Period (the "COBRA Payment Period"), (B) the expiration of your eligibility for continuation coverage under COBRA, or (C) the date when you become eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment or self-employment, subject to the terms set forth in the Release, discussed in Section 2.4, below. For purposes of this Section, references to COBRA premiums shall not include any amounts payable by you under a Section 125 health care reimbursement plan under the Code.
2.1.4. Special Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot pay the COBRA Premiums on a pre-tax basis without potentially incurring financial costs or penalties under applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall report the applicable COBRA premiums as compensation includible in your gross income for the remainder of the COBRA Payment Period.
2.2. Involuntary Termination in Connection with a Change in Control. If your Involuntary Termination occurs during the Change in Control Period, then you shall be entitled to the Accrued Amounts and to the benefits set forth in this Section (the "Change in Control Severance Benefits"), subject to your satisfaction of all the conditions described in Section
2.4 below.
2.2.1. Cash Severance. You will receive a cash payment equal to: (i) 12 months (the "Severance Period") of your Base Salary, plus (ii) your target Annual Bonus for the year in which the Involuntary Termination occurs (in each case calculated by reference to your Base Salary rate as in effect immediately prior to your Involuntary Termination, but without giving effect to any prior reduction in Base Salary by the Company which would give rise to your right to resign for Good Reason), subject to applicable payroll deductions and tax withholdings (the "Severance Payment"). The Severance Payment shall be paid to you in a lump sum on the first regular payroll date of the Company following the effective date of the Release.





2.2.2. Full Accelerated Vesting. Effective as of the later of your Involuntary Termination or the effective date of the Change in Control, the vesting and exercisability of all outstanding stock options, restricted stock unit awards and other equity awards covering the Company's common stock that are held by you as of immediately prior to the Involuntary Termination shall accelerate vesting in full. For purposes of determining the number of shares that will accelerate vesting pursuant to this Section 2.2.2 with respect to any equity award subject to performance-based vesting for which the performance period has not ended and that has multiple vesting levels depending upon the level of performance, the portion of such award that shall accelerate vesting shall be calculated assuming that the applicable performance criteria were attained at the greater of (1) a 100% level or (2) the actual level of achievement of the applicable performance criteria as of the later of the Change in Control or Involuntary Termination, as applicable. Your equity awards shall remain outstanding following your Involuntary Termination if and to the extent necessary to give effect to this Section 2.2. For the avoidance of doubt, vesting acceleration under this subsection is conditioned upon the actual consummation of a Change in Control.

2.2.4. Special Tax Treatment.

2.3. Termination for Cause; Resignation Without Good Reason; Death or Disability. If the Company terminates your employment for Cause, you resign your employment with the Company without Good Reason, or your employment terminates due to your death or disability or under any other circumstances not involving an Involuntary Termination, you shall only be entitled to the Accrued Amounts.

For all purposes of Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A2(b)(2)(i) and (iii)), your right to receive any installment payments under this Policy (whether severance payments, reimbursements or otherwise) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Policy, if you are deemed by the Company at the time of your Separation from Service to be a "specified employee" for purposes of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), and if any of the payments upon Separation from Service set forth herein and/or under any other agreement with the Company are deemed to be "deferred compensation," then to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of such payments is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and the related adverse taxation under Section 409A, such payments shall not be provided to you prior to the earliest of (i) the first date following expiration of the six-month period following the date of your Separation from Service with the Company, (ii) the date of your death or (iii) such earlier date as permitted under Section 409A without the imposition of adverse taxation. Upon the first business day following the expiration of such applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Paragraph shall be paid in a lump sum to you, and any remaining payments due shall be paid as otherwise provided herein or in the applicable agreement. No interest shall be due on any amounts so deferred. If the severance benefits are not covered by one or more exemptions from the application of Section 409A and the Release Deadline occurs in the calendar year following the calendar year of your Separation from Service, the Release will not be deemed effective any earlier than the Release Deadline for purposes of determining the timing of provision of any severance benefits.
4. Section 280G. If any payment or benefit you will or may receive from the Company or otherwise (a "280G Payment") would (i) constitute a "parachute payment" within the





meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then any such 280G Payment pursuant to this Amendment or otherwise (a "Payment") shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The "Reduced Amount" shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount (i.e., the amount determined by clause (x) or by clause (y)), after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in a Payment is required pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Reduced Amount is determined pursuant to clause (x) of the preceding sentence, the reduction shall occur in the manner (the "Reduction Method") that results in the greatest economic benefit for you. If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro rata (the "Pro Rata Reduction Method").
4.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Reduction Method or the Pro Rata Reduction Method would result in any portion of the Payment being subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A that would not otherwise be subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A, then the Reduction Method and/or the Pro Rata Reduction Method, as the case may be, shall be modified so as to avoid the imposition of taxes pursuant to Section 409A as follows: (A) as a first priority, the modification shall preserve to the greatest extent possible, the greatest economic benefit for you as determined on an after-tax basis; (B) as a second priority, Payments that are contingent on future events (e.g., being terminated without Cause), shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not contingent on future events; and (C) as a third priority, Payments that are "deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A.
4.2. Unless you and the Company agree on an alternative accounting firm, the accounting firm engaged by the Company for general tax compliance purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the change in control transaction triggering the Payment shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the change in control transaction, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder to provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to you and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which your right to a 280G Payment becomes reasonably likely to occur (if requested at that time by you or the Company) or such other reasonable time as requested by you or the Company.
4.3. If you receives a Payment for which the Reduced Amount was determined pursuant to clause (x) of the first paragraph of this Section and the Internal Revenue Service determines thereafter that some portion of the Payment is subject to the Excise Tax, you shall promptly return to the Company a sufficient amount of the Payment (after reduction pursuant to clause
(x) of the first paragraph of this Section so that no portion of the remaining Payment is subject to the Excise Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Reduced Amount was determined pursuant to clause (y) in the first paragraph of this Section, you shall have no obligation to return any portion of the Payment pursuant to the preceding sentence.





5. Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy, or claim, whether contractual or non- contractual, between you and the Company with regard to this policy shall be resolved by binding arbitration, as agreed to in your Employment Offer/Employment Agreement.
6. This Severance Policy, including the terms of the Severance Benefits, may be updated at the Company's discretion with Board of Directors approval or if there is Change in Control.


Accepted and agreed:

2.1.3. Payment of Continued Group Health Plan Benefit. If you are eligible for and timely elect continued group health plan coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget



Reconciliation Act of 1985 or any state law of similar effect ("COBRA") following your Involuntary Termination, the Company will pay your COBRA group health insurance premiums for you and your eligible dependents directly to the insurer until the earliest of (A) the end of the period immediately following your Involuntary Termination that is equal to the Severance Period (the "COBRA Payment Period"), (B) the expiration of your eligibility for continuation coverage under COBRA, or (C) the date when you become eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment or self-employment, subject to the terms set forth in the Release, discussed in Section 2.5, below.

If you are eligible for and timely elect continued group health plan coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 or any state law of similar effect ("COBRA") following your Involuntary Termination, the Company will pay your COBRA group health insurance premiums for you and your eligible dependents directly to the insurer until the earliest of (A) the end of the period immediately following your Involuntary Termination that is equal to the Severance Period (the "COBRA Payment Period"), (B) the expiration of your eligibility for continuation coverage under COBRA, or (C) the date when you become eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment or



self-employment, subject to the terms set forth in the Release, discussed in Section 2.5, below. For purposes of this Section, references to COBRA premiums shall not include any amounts payable by you under a Section 125 health care reimbursement plan under the Code.

2.2.4.Special Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot pay the COBRA Premiums on a pre-tax basis without potentially incurring financial costs or penalties under applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall report the applicable COBRA premiums as compensation includible in your gross income for the remainder of the COBRA Payment Period.

2.3.Accelerated Vesting of Performance Based Awards at the Time of a Change in Control. The vesting of equity awards subject to performance-based vesting and that have not vested at the time of a Change in Control, shall be accelerated following the effective date of a Change in Control. For purposes of determining the number of shares to be vested, the calculation shall assume that the applicable performance criteria were attained at the greater of (1) a 100% level or (2) the actual level of achievement of the applicable performance criteria as of the Change in Control. For the avoidance of doubt, for performance-based awards an Involuntary Termination under a Change in Control is not required. For the avoidance of doubt, for performance-based awards an Involuntary Termination under a Change in Control is not required.

2.4.Termination for Cause; Resignation Without Good Reason; Death or Disability. If the Company terminates your employment for Cause, you resign your employment with the Company without Good Reason, or your employment terminates due to your death or disability or under any other circumstances not involving an Involuntary Termination, you shall only be entitled to the Accrued Amounts. You will not be eligible for, or entitled to any severance benefits, including (without limitation) the Severance Benefits in Section 2.1 and Change in Control Severance Benefits in Section 2.2.

2.5.Conditions to Receiving Severance Benefits and Change in Control Severance Benefits. Your receipt of the Severance Benefits in Section 2.1 and the Change in Control Severance Benefits in Section 2.2 of this Policy will be conditioned upon and subject in all cases to:

2.5.1.You executing, delivering to the Company and allowing to become effective, a waiver and release of claims in a form provided by the Company and drafted in the Company's discretion, which may be included by the Company in a separate separation agreement (the "Release"), within the applicable deadline set forth therein following your Involuntary Termination, and permitting the Release to become effective in accordance with its terms, which effective date of the Release may not be later than sixty (60) days following the date of your Involuntary Termination (such sixty (60) day deadline, the "Release Deadline");

2.5.2.Your compliance with your continuing obligations to the Company under this Policy and the Proprietary Information and Invention Assignment Agreement ("PIIA"); and

2.5.3.Your resignation from all offices, directorships and trusteeships then held by you at the Company or any affiliate of the Company, with such resignation to be effective upon your date of Involuntary Termination, unless otherwise requested by the Company.

2.6.Definitions. The terms used in this Policy shall have the following meanings:

2.6.1."Accrued Amounts" means your Base Salary that is earned but unpaid as of your employment termination date, any unreimbursed business expenses, and any accrued but





unused personal time off or vacation benefits, excluding sick leave benefits earned by the employment termination date.

2.2.1."Cause" shall mean, for purposes of this Policy, your (i) material breach of your obligations under this Policy, the PIIA, or any code of ethics or conduct-related policy adopted by the Company from time to time, or of any other material contract with the Company or statutory duty owed to the Company; (ii) neglect or failure to conscientiously and diligently carry out your functions and/or duties after you have received a written demand of performance from the Company which specifically set forth the factual basis for the Company's belief that you have not substantially performed your functions and have failed to cure such non-performance to the Company's satisfaction within ten (10) business days after receiving such notice; (iii) commission of any act that is reasonably likely to lead to a conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, any crime involving fraud, embezzlement or any other act of moral turpitude under the laws of the United States or of any jurisdiction applicable to you; or (iv) commission or attempted commission of, or participation (whether by affirmative act or omission) in, a fraud or act of dishonesty against the Company.

2.2.2."Change in Control" has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan.

2.2.3."Change in Control Period" means the period commencing three (3) months prior to a Change in Control and ending twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control.

2.2.4."Good Reason" for you to resign your employment with the Company means the occurrence of any of the following events without your express written consent; provided, however, that any such resignation by you due to any of the following conditions shall only be deemed for Good Reason if: (1) you give the Company written notice of the intent to terminate for Good Reason within sixty (60) days following the first occurrence of the particular condition or conditions that you believe constitutes Good Reason, which notice shall describe such condition(s); provided, however, that failure to provide such notice shall not operate as a waiver of your right to resign employment for Good Reason based on the occurrence of a different condition or subsequent occurrence of the same condition; (2) the Company fails to remedy such condition(s) within thirty (30) days following receipt of the written notice (the "Cure Period") of such condition(s) from you; and (3) you actually resign employment from all positions you then hold with the Company within the first thirty (30) days after expiration of the Cure Period:

2.6.6.1.a material reduction in your authority, duties, or responsibilities;

2.6.6.2.a material reduction of your then current Base Salary, and regardless of whether implemented in a single reduction or a series of reductions, which the parties agree is a reduction of at least five percent (5%) of your Base Salary; notwithstanding the foregoing, such a material reduction of your Base Salary shall not constitute "Good Reason" if such material reduction was made under a salary reduction program that commenced at least three (3) months prior to a Change in Control and is applicable generally to the Company's similarly situated leadership team members;

2.6.6.3.any relocation of your principal place of employment to a place that increases your one-way commute by more than fifty (50) miles, by vehicle, provided, however, that required travel for Company business shall not constitute "Good Reason"; or

2.6.6.4.the Company's material breach of this Policy.




2.2.5."Involuntary Termination" means a termination of your employment with the Company



pursuant to either (i) a termination initiated by the Company without Cause, or (ii) your resignation for Good Reason, and provided in either case such termination constitutes a Separation from Service. An Involuntary Termination does not include any other termination of your employment, including a termination due to your death or disability.

2.2.6."Plan" shall mean the Company's 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, and any successor plan thereto.

2.2.7."Separation from Service" means a "separation from service", as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).

3.Section 409A. It is intended that all of the severance benefits and other payments payable under this Policy satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("Code") Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A1(b)(4), 1.409A1(b)(5) and 1.409A1(b)(9), and this Policy will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions, and to the extent no so exempt, this Policy (and any definitions hereunder) will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A. For all purposes of Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A2(b)(2)(i) and (iii)), your right to receive any installment payments under this Policy (whether severance payments, reimbursements or otherwise) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Policy, if you are deemed by the Company at the time of your Separation from Service to be a "specified employee" for purposes of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), and if any of the payments upon Separation from Service set forth herein and/or under any other agreement with the Company are deemed to be "deferred compensation," then to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of such payments is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and the related adverse taxation under Section 409A, such payments shall not be provided to you prior to the earliest of (i) the first date following expiration of the six-month period following the date of your Separation from Service with the Company, (ii) the date of your death or
(iii) such earlier date as permitted under Section 409A without the imposition of adverse taxation. Upon the first business day following the expiration of such applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Paragraph shall be paid in a lump sum to you, and any remaining payments due shall be paid as otherwise provided herein or in the applicable agreement. No interest shall be due on any amounts so deferred. If the severance benefits are not covered by one or more exemptions from the application of Section 409A and the Release Deadline occurs in the calendar year following the calendar year of your Separation from Service, the Release will not be deemed effective any earlier than the Release Deadline for purposes of determining the timing of provision of any severance benefits.

4.Section 280G. If any payment or benefit you will or may receive from the Company or otherwise (a "280G Payment") would (i) constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then any such 280G Payment pursuant to this Amendment or otherwise (a "Payment") shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The "Reduced Amount" shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment,





whichever amount (i.e., the amount determined by clause (x) or by clause (y)), after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in a Payment is required pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Reduced Amount is determined pursuant to clause (x) of the preceding sentence, the reduction shall occur in the manner (the "Reduction Method") that results in the greatest economic benefit for you. If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro rata (the "Pro Rata Reduction Method").

1.1Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Reduction Method or the Pro Rata Reduction Method would result in any portion of the Payment being subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A that would not otherwise be subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A, then the Reduction Method and/or the Pro Rata Reduction Method, as the case may be, shall be modified so as to avoid the imposition of taxes pursuant to Section 409A as follows: (A) as a first priority, the modification shall preserve to the greatest extent possible, the greatest economic benefit for you as determined on an after-tax basis;
(B) as a second priority, Payments that are contingent on future events (e.g., being terminated without Cause), shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not contingent on future events; and (C) as a third priority, Payments that are "deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A.

4.2. The accounting firm engaged to perform the foregoing calculations shall be selected by the Company prior to the effective date of the Change in Control transaction triggering the Payment, unless you and the Company mutually agree on an alternative accounting firm. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control transaction, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall determine all assumptions related to the 280G calculations, in consultation with the accounting firm selected, bear all expenses with respect to the determinations required to be made hereunder, and such assumptions shall be binding on parties hereunder, including on any Change in Control acquiring entity. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder to provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to you and the Company no later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which your right to a 280G Payment becomes reasonably likely to occur (if requested at that time by you or the Company) or such other reasonable time as requested by you or the Company.

4.3 If you receives a Payment for which the Reduced Amount was determined pursuant to clause (x) of the first paragraph of this Section and the Internal Revenue Service determines thereafter that some portion of the Payment is subject to the Excise Tax, you shall promptly return to the Company a sufficient amount of the Payment (after reduction pursuant to clause (x) of the first paragraph of this Section so that no portion of the remaining Payment is subject to the Excise Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Reduced Amount was determined pursuant to clause (y) in the first paragraph of this Section, you shall have no obligation to return any portion of the Payment pursuant to the preceding sentence.

5.Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy, or claim, whether contractual or non-contractual,





between you and the Company with regard to this policy shall be resolved by binding arbitration, as agreed to in your Employment Offer/Employment Agreement.

6.This Severance Policy, including the terms of the Severance Benefits, may be updated at the Company's discretion with Board of Directors approval.

By signing below, you agree to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Subject: Position and Compensation Adjustment

Dear Aaron:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm the changes to your position and compensation as discussed. In connection with your appointment as Interim Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) effective September 8, 2023, your annualized base salary is increased to $450,000.

Additionally, you will be eligible for the benefits provided by the Mirati Executive Severance Plan for the duration of your service in the role of Interim CFO and for a period of 90 days thereafter. All other terms and conditions of your employment remain unchanged, including your current annual bonus target which is 40% of your base salary.

The Board is also providing you with a Retention Award valued at $600,000 and delivered 50% in cash and 50% in restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to be granted on September 8, 2023 (“Grant Date”). The number of RSUs granted will be calculated by dividing $300,000 by the closing market price of MRTX on the grant date. The Retention Award will vest and be payable in full on the earlier of (i) 90 days following commencement of employment of a permanent CFO, or (ii) your involuntary termination of employment (not for Cause) (the “Vesting Date”). In the event you voluntarily resign or are involuntarily terminated for Cause prior to the Vesting Date, the Retention Award will be forfeited.

Aaron, on behalf of the Board and the entire ELT, thank you for your continued dedication and commitment to Mirati.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted.

In the opinion of management, the information reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

Reported amounts and footnote disclosures reflect the overall economic conditions that are most likely to occur and anticipated measures management intends to take. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed quarterly. Any revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid securities with original maturities at the date of acquisition of ninety days or less. Investments with an original maturity of more than ninety days are considered short-term investments
and have been classified by management as available-for-sale. These investments are classified as current assets, even though the stated maturity date may be one year or more beyond the current consolidated balance sheet date, which reflects management’s intention to use the proceeds from sales of these securities to fund its operations, as necessary. Such investments are carried at fair value, and the unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities, if any, are determined on a specific identification basis.    

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company invests its excess cash in accordance with its investment policy. The Company’s investments are comprised primarily of commercial paper and debt instruments of financial institutions, corporations, U.S. government-sponsored agencies and the U.S. Treasury. The Company mitigates credit risk by maintaining a diversified portfolio and limiting the amount of investment exposure as to institution, maturity and investment type. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable, net consists of trade receivables which are amounts due from customers related to product sales. The Company records trade receivables net of chargebacks, invoice discounts, distribution service fees and any allowances for doubtful accounts for potential credit losses. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on the financial condition and creditworthiness of customers and the Company considers economic factors and events or trends expected to affect future collections experience. Any allowance would reduce the net receivables to the amount that is expected to be collected. The payment history of the Company’s customers will be considered in future assessments of collectability as these patterns are established over a longer period. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company determined an allowance for doubtful accounts was not required.

Inventory

The Company began capitalizing inventory for KRAZATI, which received approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and launched commercially in the U.S. in December 2022. KRAZATI (adagrasib) is approved for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. Prior to regulatory approval, all direct and indirect manufacturing costs were charged to research and development expense in the period incurred.

Inventory is comprised of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, and includes costs related to third-party contract manufacturing, packaging, freight-in and overhead. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost based on the first-in-first-out method. The Company performs an assessment of recoverability of capitalized inventory during each reporting period based on an analysis of forecasted demand compared to quantities on hand and any firm purchase orders, as well as product shelf life, and writes down any excess, obsolete or unsaleable inventory to its estimated realizable value in the period which the impairment is first identified. Such write downs, should they occur, are charged to cost of product revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not identify any impaired inventory.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the guidance of Revenue From Contracts With Customers, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“Topic 606”). Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Product revenue, net

The Company’s product revenue consists of sales of KRAZATI. The Company sells KRAZATI principally to specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors, which are referred to as the Company’s customers. These customers subsequently resell the product to healthcare providers and patients. Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer.

The Company records revenues from product sales at the net sales price, or transaction price, which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established primarily from chargebacks, government and commercial rebates, incentives, product returns, trade discounts and other allowances that are offered in contracts between the Company and its customers, healthcare providers and other third-party payors relating to the sales of its product. These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of trade receivables, if the amount is deductible by the customer from payments to the Company, which is included within accounts receivable, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, or a current liability, if the amount is payable by the Company to a customer or third-party, which is included within accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price using the expected value method. These estimates take into consideration relevant factors such as current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, forecasted customer buying and payment patterns, and the Company’s historical experience that will develop over time as KRAZATI is the Company’s first commercial product. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of its contracts. The amount of variable consideration may be constrained and is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenues and earnings in the period such variances become known.

From time to time, the Company may sell KRAZATI to other commercial customers conducting clinical trials. These sales are recorded as part of product revenue, net and reflected at the transaction price, which includes estimates of variable consideration for trade allowances as discussed below.

The following are the components of variable consideration related to product revenue:

Chargebacks. Chargebacks relate to contracts with various third-party payors, including governmental healthcare programs, managed care providers, group purchasing organizations and other organizations, that generally purchase the product from a specialty distributor at a discounted price. The specialty distributor, in turn, charges back to the Company the difference between the price initially paid by the specialty distributor and the discounted price paid to the specialty distributor by its contracted customer. The allowance for chargebacks is based on actual chargebacks received and an estimate of sales by the specialty distributor to its contracted customers. These reserves are recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and a reduction of trade receivables.

Government rebates. The Company is subject to discount obligations under Medicare, Medicaid, and other governmental healthcare programs in the U.S. The Company’s estimates of rebates are based on the government-mandated discounts, which are statutorily-defined and applicable to these government funded programs. These reserves are recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the accrual of an estimated liability. For Medicare, the Company also estimates the number of patients in the prescription drug coverage gap for whom it will owe an additional liability under the Medicare Part D program.

Commercial rebates. The Company contracts with various private payor organizations and group purchasing organizations for the payment of rebates with respect to the utilization of its product. The Company’s estimates for the expected utilization of rebates are based on customer and payor data received from the specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors and historical utilization rates that will develop over time as KRAZATI is the Company’s first commercial product. These reserves are recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the accrual of an estimated liability.

Incentives. The Company offers incentives such as co-payment assistance to commercially insured patients in the U.S. who meet certain eligibility requirements. The Company may provide financial assistance to participating patients with prescription drug co-payments required by the patients’ insurance provider, up to a specified dollar amount. These reserves are
recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the accrual of an estimated liability.

Product returns. Generally, the Company’s customers have the right to return product for a limited time before and after its expiration date. Since the Company does not have its own returns experience, it estimates returns based on available industry data for comparable products in the market as well as other information, such as visibility into the inventory remaining in the distribution channel and expiration date. As the Company distributes its product and establishes historical sales over a longer period of time, the Company will be able to place more reliance on historical purchasing, demand and return patterns of its customers when evaluating its reserves for product returns. The estimate for product returns is recorded as an accrued liability and a reduction of revenue in the period the related product sales are recognized.

Trade allowances. The Company may provide invoice discounts on product sales to its customers for prompt payment based on contractual terms. These discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. Trade receivables are recorded net of the allowance for these discounts. The Company also pays fees to its distributors for their services. The Company has determined such services are not distinct from the Company’s sale of product to its customers and therefore records these payments as a reduction of revenue and a reduction of trade receivables in the period the related product revenue is recognized. To the extent the services received are distinct from the Company’s sale of product to its customers, these payments will be recorded within selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

License and collaboration revenues

The Company’s license and collaboration revenues have been generated primarily through collaborative research, development, manufacture and commercialization agreements. The terms of these agreements generally include the license of intellectual property and associated know-how and the provision of other goods and services. Payments to the Company under these arrangements typically include one or more of the following: non-refundable, up-front license fees; manufacturing supply services; milestone payments; and royalties on future product sales.

License of Intellectual Property. If a license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenue allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue associated with the bundled performance obligation.

Manufacturing Supply Services. The Company’s obligation under the agreements may include the initial supply of material for clinical development. If determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenue allocated to this performance obligation when the collaborative partner obtains control of the goods. If determined not to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenue allocated to the combined performance obligation as the related performance obligations are satisfied.

Milestone Payments. At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments based upon the achievement of specified clinical development, regulatory and/or sales milestones, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone amount is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are dependent on factors outside of the Company’s control, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. These payments are fully constrained and therefore are not included in the transaction price. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of each milestone and any related 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 the reported amount of license and collaboration revenues in the period of adjustment.

Royalties. For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).
Intangible Asset, Net

The Company’s finite-lived intangible asset resulted from the capitalization of a milestone payment due under a license and collaboration agreement in connection with the first commercial sale of KRAZATI in the U.S. in December 2022. The intangible asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its remaining useful life, which is estimated to be the remaining patent life of KRAZATI. Amortization expense is recorded as cost of product revenue - intangible asset amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Cost of Product Revenue

Cost of product revenue includes direct and indirect costs related to the manufacturing and distribution of KRAZATI, including materials, third-party contract manufacturing costs, packaging services, freight-in, overhead, royalties payable on net sales of KRAZATI and inventory reserves. All product costs incurred prior to FDA approval of KRAZATI in December 2022 were charged to research and development expense.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. For operating leases with an initial term greater than 12 months, the Company recognizes operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Operating lease right-of-use assets are comprised of the lease liability plus any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease terms include options to renew or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain that the renewal option will be exercised or when it is reasonably certain that the termination option will not be exercised. For the Company’s operating leases, if the interest rate used to determine the present value of future lease payments is not readily determinable, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in similar economic environments. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common share equivalents as they are anti-dilutive. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for the period, as well as certain shares that are contingently issuable. Common share equivalents outstanding, determined using the treasury stock method, are comprised of shares that may be issued under the Company’s stock option and warrant agreements, as well as restricted stock units and performance stock units.
The following table presents the weighted-average number of common share equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method, as well as certain shares that are contingently issuable, not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share due to the anti-dilutive effect of the securities:

The Company has classified all of its short-term investments as available-for-sale as the sale of such securities may be required prior to maturity to implement management strategies, and therefore, they are carried at fair value. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the unrealized losses for available-for-sale investments were non-credit related, and the Company does not intend to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at the time of maturity. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no allowance for credit losses was recorded. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses related to investments.

The long-term investment balance of $3.6 million and $3.5 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, is comprised of 588,235 shares of ORIC Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ORIC”) common stock which were acquired in 2020. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the investment is carried at fair value based on the closing price of ORIC’s common stock on the last trading day of the reporting period. The Company recorded a loss of $1.0 million and a gain of $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and losses of $0.8 million and $6.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, within other income, net in the condensed
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company currently does not intend to sell ORIC shares within 12 months from September 30, 2023. See Note 4 for additional information related to the investment in ORIC.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements
The Company has certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value which have been classified as Level 1, 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy as described in the accounting standards for fair value measurements.

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following hierarchy:
 
Level 1- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3- Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

The following tables summarize the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

The Company’s investments in Level 1 assets are valued based on publicly available quoted market prices for identical securities as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company determines the fair value of Level 2 related securities with the aid of valuations provided by third parties using proprietary valuation models and analytical tools. These valuation models and analytical tools use market pricing or prices for similar instruments that are both objective and publicly available, including matrix pricing or reported trades, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids and/or offers.

The Company’s long-term investment in ORIC was considered a Level 3 fair value measurement during an eighteen-month lock-up period which required an adjustment for a discount for lack of marketability. During the lock-up period, the fair value measurement utilized a combination of the Asian Protective Put Option and Finnerty Put Option fair value techniques to determine the discount for lack of marketability. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the eighteen-month lock-up period expired, and because ORIC common stock is quoted in an active market, it met the criteria of a Level 1 investment. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company transferred the investment in ORIC from a Level 3 fair value measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement. See Note 9 for further details on the license agreement with ORIC.

The following table represents the change in estimated fair value of and transfer activity for the Company’s Level 3 investment (in thousands):
Balance as of December 31, 2021$8,218 
Change in fair value at lock-up expiration(3,100)
Transfer from Level 3 to Level 1 at lock-up expiration(5,118)
Balance as of March 31, 2022$— 

Other than the investment in ORIC described above, there were no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Revenue Revenue
Product revenue, net

The Company’s product revenue is related to U.S. sales of KRAZATI. Revenue is reduced at the time of recognition for the Company’s best estimate of chargebacks, government and commercial rebates, incentives, returns, trade discounts and other allowances to which customers are entitled. These reductions are currently attributed to various commercial arrangements.

The Company recognized $1.3 million and $3.0 million of product revenue, net related to sales of KRAZATI to a third-party commercial customer for its clinical trials during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. This revenue is recognized net of the Company’s best estimate of trade allowances.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s accounts receivable balances of $14.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets consisted of KRAZATI product sales receivable, net of chargebacks, discounts and allowances of $1.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s government and commercial rebates, program incentives and provision for product returns totaled $2.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and are included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
BeiGene Agreement

Terms of Agreement

On January 7, 2018, the Company and BeiGene Ltd. (“BeiGene”) entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “BeiGene Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and BeiGene agreed to collaboratively develop sitravatinib in Asia (excluding Japan and certain other countries), Australia and New Zealand (collectively, the “BeiGene Licensed Territory”). Under the BeiGene Agreement, the Company granted BeiGene an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize sitravatinib in the BeiGene Licensed Territory, with the Company retaining exclusive rights for the development, manufacture and commercialization of sitravatinib outside the BeiGene Licensed Territory.

As consideration for the rights granted to BeiGene under the BeiGene Agreement, BeiGene paid the Company a non-refundable, non-creditable up-front fee of $10.0 million. BeiGene is also required to make milestone payments to the Company of up to an aggregate of $123.0 million upon the first achievement of specified clinical, regulatory and sales milestones. The BeiGene Agreement additionally provides that BeiGene is obligated to pay the Company royalties at tiered percentage rates ranging from mid-single digits to twenty percent on annual net sales of licensed products in the BeiGene Licensed Territory, subject to reduction under specified circumstances. The BeiGene Agreement also provides that the Company will supply BeiGene with sitravatinib for use in BeiGene’s development activities in the BeiGene Licensed Territory.

The BeiGene Agreement will terminate upon the expiration of the last royalty term for the licensed products, which is the latest of (i) the date of expiration of the last valid patent claim related to the licensed products under the BeiGene Agreement, (ii) ten years after the first commercial sale of a licensed product and (iii) the expiration of any regulatory exclusivity as to a licensed product. BeiGene may terminate the BeiGene Agreement at any time by providing 60 days prior written notice to the Company. Either party may terminate the BeiGene Agreement upon a material breach by the other party that remains uncured following 60 days after the date of written notice of such breach or upon certain bankruptcy events. In addition, the Company may terminate the BeiGene Agreement upon written notice to BeiGene under specified circumstances if BeiGene challenges the licensed patent rights.

Revenue Recognition

The Company evaluated the BeiGene Agreement under Topic 606. At the time it entered into the BeiGene Agreement, the Company determined the transaction price was equal to the up-front fee of $10.0 million. The transaction price was allocated to the performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price estimated for each performance obligation. In estimating the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation, the Company developed assumptions that require judgment and included forecasted revenues, expected development timelines, discount rates, probabilities of technical and regulatory success and costs for manufacturing clinical supplies. As such, of the up-front fee, the Company allocated $9.5 million to the license of the Company’s intellectual property, bundled with the associated know-how, and the
remaining $0.5 million to the initial obligation to supply sitravatinib for clinical development in the BeiGene Licensed Territory.

Licenses of Intellectual Property.   The license to the Company’s intellectual property, bundled with the associated know-how, represents a distinct performance obligation and the Company recognized the full revenue amount of $9.5 million related to this performance obligation as license and collaboration revenues in 2018.
Manufacturing Supply Services.  The Company’s initial obligation to supply sitravatinib for clinical development in the BeiGene Licensed Territory represents a distinct performance obligation, and the $0.5 million initial supply obligation was fully recognized as license and collaboration revenues as of December 31, 2020. Although the initial performance obligation was satisfied, BeiGene may request additional sitravatinib in the future for clinical development in the BeiGene Licensed Territory. No revenue related to this performance obligation was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.
Milestone Payments. The Company is entitled to development milestones under the BeiGene Agreement and certain regulatory milestone payments which are paid upon receipt of regulatory approvals within the BeiGene Licensed Territory. No milestone payments were earned during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022. The Company evaluated whether the remaining milestones are considered probable of being reached and determined that their achievement is highly dependent on factors outside of the Company’s control. Therefore, these payments have been fully constrained and are not included in the transaction price. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company will re-evaluate the probability of achievement of each milestone and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjust its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect the reported amount of license and collaboration revenues in the period of adjustment.

Royalties.  As the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which sales-based royalties relate, the Company will recognize revenue when the related sales occur. No royalty revenue was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.
Pfizer Agreement

In October 2014, the Company entered into a drug discovery collaboration and option agreement with Array BioPharma, Inc. (“Array,” acquired by Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) in July 2019) whereby Array provided services to facilitate the discovery, optimization and development of small molecule compounds that bind and specifically inhibit KRAS G12C. In June 2017, the two parties entered into a second, separate discovery collaboration and option agreement whereby Array provided services to facilitate the discovery, optimization and development of small molecule compounds that bind and specifically inhibit KRAS G12D. Both agreements established an option mechanism which enabled the Company to elect an exclusive worldwide license under the technology for the development and commercialization of certain products based on these compounds.

Under these agreements, following the joint discovery periods, which have since concluded, the Company exercised its options to retain exclusive worldwide licenses to develop, manufacture and commercialize inhibitors of KRAS G12C and KRAS G12D, including, but not limited to, adagrasib and MRTX1133. Under each agreement, Pfizer is entitled to potential development milestone payments of up to $9.3 million from the Company, and tiered sales milestone payments of up to $337.0 million based upon worldwide net sales, and tiered royalties in the high single digits to mid-teens on worldwide net sales of products arising from the collaborations. Under the agreements, the Company has incurred an aggregate of $10.5 million in development milestone payments and a $15.0 million commercial milestone payment relating to the first sale of KRAZATI in the U.S. from inception through September 30, 2023. The $15.0 million milestone payment relating to the first commercial sale of KRAZATI in the U.S. was capitalized as an intangible asset as of December 31, 2022 (see Note 7).
$1.0 million, respectively, in development milestone payments, for initiation of the first Phase 1 trial for MRTX1133 which was recorded as a research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company also incurred $1.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of royalties on net sales of KRAZATI which were recorded as cost of product revenue in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. No expenses were incurred under these agreements with Pfizer during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The royalty term for each agreement is payable on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis, and separately will terminate at the later of (i) the date of expiration of the last valid patent claim within the collaboration patent rights or the Pfizer background technology covering such product in the country in which such product is sold at the time of such sale, or (ii) ten years after the first commercial sale of such product in such country. The Company may terminate each agreement at any time by providing 60 days prior written notice to Pfizer. Either party may terminate each agreement upon a material breach by the other party that remains uncured following 60 days after the date of written notice of such breach or upon certain bankruptcy events.
ORIC Pharmaceuticals Agreement

Terms of Agreement

On August 3, 2020, the Company entered into a license agreement with ORIC Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ORIC”) pursuant to which the Company granted to ORIC an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize the Company’s allosteric polycomb repressive complex 2 (“PRC2”) inhibitors for all indications (the “ORIC Agreement”). In accordance with the terms of the ORIC Agreement, in exchange for such license, ORIC issued 588,235 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) to the Company on August 3, 2020. The Shares were issued under a stock issuance agreement entered into between ORIC and the Company, dated August 3, 2020. During the eighteen-month period following the date of the stock issuance agreement, the Company was subject to certain transfer restrictions. ORIC is not obligated to pay the Company milestone payments or royalty payments under the ORIC Agreement.

Unless terminated earlier, the ORIC Agreement will continue in effect on a country-by-country and licensed product-by-licensed product basis until the later of (a) the expiration of the last valid claim of a licensed patent covering such licensed product in such country or (b) ten years after the first commercial sale of such licensed product in such country. Following the expiration of the ORIC Agreement, ORIC will retain its licenses under the intellectual property the Company licensed to ORIC on a royalty-free basis. The Company and ORIC may each terminate the ORIC Agreement if the other party materially breaches the terms of such agreement, subject to specified notice and cure provisions, or enters into bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. The Company may terminate the agreement if ORIC challenges any of the patent rights licensed to ORIC by the Company or if ORIC discontinues development of licensed products for a specified period of time. ORIC also has the right to terminate the ORIC Agreement without cause by providing prior written notice to the Company.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounted for the ORIC Agreement under Topic 606 and identified the granting of an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize the Company’s allosteric PRC2 inhibitors for all indications as a distinct performance obligation since ORIC can benefit from the license on its own by developing and commercializing the underlying product using its own resources.

In determining the transaction price, the Company received the Shares as non-cash consideration. The Company allocated the entire transaction price to the distinct performance obligation described above, and the license and related know-how was transferred to ORIC during the third quarter of 2020. Therefore, the Company recognized the entire transaction price of $11.4 million during 2020 and classified the amount as license and collaboration revenues in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Shares are carried at fair value and are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a long-term investment. Any change in fair value is recorded within other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Zai Agreement

Terms of Agreement

On May 28, 2021, the Company and Zai Lab Ltd. (“Zai”) entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Zai Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and Zai agreed to collaboratively develop adagrasib in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan (collectively, the “Zai Licensed Territory”). Under the Zai Agreement, the Company granted Zai the rights to research, develop, manufacture and exclusively commercialize adagrasib in all indications in the Zai Licensed Territory, with the Company retaining exclusive rights for the development, manufacture and commercialization of adagrasib outside the Zai Licensed Territory and certain co-commercialization, manufacture, and development rights in the Zai Licensed Territory. Zai is
obligated to participate in selected global, registration-enabling clinical trials and enroll patients in the Zai Licensed Territory at Zai’s expense.

As consideration for the rights granted to Zai under the Zai Agreement, Zai agreed to pay the Company a non-refundable, non-creditable up-front fee of $65.0 million. Under the Zai Agreement, the Company is entitled to potential development and regulatory-based milestone payments of up to $93.0 million, and tiered sales milestone payments of up to $180.0 million based on net sales in the Zai Licensed Territory. The Zai Agreement additionally provides that Zai is obligated to pay to the Company royalties at tiered percentage rates ranging from the high-teens to the low-twenties on annual net sales of licensed products in the Zai Licensed Territory, subject to reduction under specified circumstances. The Zai Agreement also provides that the Company will supply Zai with adagrasib for use in Zai’s development activities in the Zai Licensed Territory at Zai's expense.

The Zai Agreement will terminate on a licensed product-by-licensed product basis and on a region-by-region basis in the Zai Licensed Territory, upon the later to occur of (i) the date of expiration of the last valid claim covering such licensed product in such region, (ii) the date that is ten years after the date of the first commercial sale in such region and (iii) the expiration date of any regulatory exclusivity for such licensed product in such region, or for a co-commercialized product on the date the parties agree to terminate such co-commercialization, or in its entirety upon the expiration of all payment obligations under the Zai Agreement. Zai may terminate the Zai Agreement at any time by providing 12 months’ notice to the Company. Either party may terminate the Zai Agreement upon a material breach by the other party that remains uncured or upon certain bankruptcy events. In addition, the Company may terminate the Zai Agreement if Zai challenges the licensed patent rights.

Revenue Recognition

The Company evaluated the Zai Agreement under Topic 606. The Company determined that two performance obligations existed: (1) the license to intellectual property, bundled with the associated know-how and (2) the Company's initial obligation to supply adagrasib for clinical development in the Zai Licensed Territory. At the time it entered into the Zai Agreement, the Company determined the transaction price was equal to $66.6 million, which includes the up-front fee and other incidental amounts. In estimating the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation, the Company developed assumptions that require judgment and included forecasted revenues, expected development timelines, discount rates, probabilities of technical and regulatory success, forecasted costs for manufacturing clinical supplies and cost savings related to Zai's participation in selected trials. The Company allocated the full transaction price to the license to the Company’s intellectual property, bundled with the associated know-how. The Company concluded the variable payments related to the Company’s initial obligation to supply adagrasib for clinical development in the Zai Licensed Territory relate specifically to the Company’s efforts to satisfy this performance obligation and the obligation to provide the initial clinical supply approximates the stand-alone selling price. Payments under the Zai Agreement are subject to foreign tax withholdings.

Licenses of Intellectual Property.   The license to the Company’s intellectual property, bundled with the associated know-how, represents a distinct performance obligation. The license and associated know-how was transferred to Zai during the third quarter of 2021 and, therefore during 2021, the Company recognized the full revenue amount of $66.6 million as license and collaboration revenues and $3.3 million as income tax expense in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Manufacturing Supply Services.  The Company’s initial obligation to supply adagrasib for clinical development in the Zai Licensed Territory represents a distinct performance obligation. As such, the Company will recognize revenue when Zai obtains control of the goods. The Company recognized zero and $1.2 million of revenue related to this performance obligation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company recognized $0.3 million and $1.4 million of revenue related to this performance obligation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company may also become responsible for manufacturing adagrasib for commercial supply and will receive reimbursement that approximates stand-alone selling prices.

Milestone Payments. The Company is entitled to development milestone payments and certain regulatory and sales milestone payments which are paid upon achievement of the development milestones, upon receipt of regulatory approvals and annual net sales thresholds within the Zai Licensed Territory under the Zai Agreement. No milestone payments were earned during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company earned a $5.0 million milestone payment related to the initiation of the first pivotal clinical trial of adagrasib for the second indication in China during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Company earned a $5.0 million milestone payment related to the initiation of the first pivotal clinical trial of
adagrasib for the first indication in China and a $5.0 million milestone payment related to the initiation of the first pivotal clinical trial of adagrasib for the second indication in China during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company evaluated whether or not the milestones are considered probable of being reached and determined that their achievement is highly dependent on factors outside of the Company’s control. These payments have been fully constrained and therefore are not included in the transaction price. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company will re-evaluate the probability of achievement of each milestone and any related constraint and, if necessary, adjust its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments will be recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect the reported amount of license and collaboration revenues in the period of adjustment.

Royalties.  As the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which sales-based royalties relate, the Company will recognize revenue when the related sales occur. No royalty revenue was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.

Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and ContingenciesOn June 30, 2020, the Company entered into an amended and restated lease agreement (the “Amended and Restated Lease”) for office and laboratory space located in San Diego, California, for the Company’s current corporate headquarters, which supercedes the original lease agreement dated August 22, 2019. The Amended and Restated Lease has a lease term of 12 years (“Lease Term”), unless terminated earlier. The Lease Term has an initial abatement period, and the initial base rent payable will be approximately $0.6 million per month following the abatement period, which amount will increase by 3% per year over the Lease Term. The Company also received incentives from the landlord for tenant improvements. During 2020, the underlying asset was available for use by the Company to construct tenant improvements and therefore, the Lease Term was considered to have commenced. The Amended and Restated Lease is considered to be an operating lease, and the Company used a discount rate of 12% to calculate the value of its lease payments over the Lease Term. As of September 30, 2023, the condensed consolidated balance sheet includes an operating right-of-use asset of $35.1 million and a total operating lease liability of $50.2 million, of which $8.0 million is a current lease liability and included in accrued liabilities, and $42.2 million is included in non-current lease liability. As of December 31, 2022, the condensed consolidated balance sheet includes an operating right-of-use asset of $36.1 million and a total operating lease liability of $51.5 million, of which $7.8 million is a current lease liability and included in accrued liabilities, and $43.7 million is included in non-current lease liability. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded operating lease expense of $2.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded operating lease expense of $2.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted.

In the opinion of management, the information reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

Reported amounts and footnote disclosures reflect the overall economic conditions that are most likely to occur and anticipated measures management intends to take. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed quarterly. Any revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid securities with original maturities at the date of acquisition of ninety days or less.
Short-term Investments Investments with an original maturity of more than ninety days are considered short-term investments and have been classified by management as available-for-sale. These investments are classified as current assets, even though the stated maturity date may be one year or more beyond the current consolidated balance sheet date, which reflects management’s intention to use the proceeds from sales of these securities to fund its operations, as necessary.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company invests its excess cash in accordance with its investment policy. The Company’s investments are comprised primarily of commercial paper and debt instruments of financial institutions, corporations, U.S. government-sponsored agencies and the U.S. Treasury. The Company mitigates credit risk by maintaining a diversified portfolio and limiting the amount of investment exposure as to institution, maturity and investment type. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents and short-term investments.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable, net consists of trade receivables which are amounts due from customers related to product sales. The Company records trade receivables net of chargebacks, invoice discounts, distribution service fees and any allowances for doubtful accounts for potential credit losses. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on the financial condition and creditworthiness of customers and the Company considers economic factors and events or trends expected to affect future collections experience. Any allowance would reduce the net receivables to the amount that is expected to be collected. The payment history of the Company’s customers will be considered in future assessments of collectability as these patterns are established over a longer period. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company determined an allowance for doubtful accounts was not required.
Inventory
Inventory

The Company began capitalizing inventory for KRAZATI, which received approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and launched commercially in the U.S. in December 2022. KRAZATI (adagrasib) is approved for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. Prior to regulatory approval, all direct and indirect manufacturing costs were charged to research and development expense in the period incurred.

Inventory is comprised of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, and includes costs related to third-party contract manufacturing, packaging, freight-in and overhead. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost based on the first-in-first-out method. The Company performs an assessment of recoverability of capitalized inventory during each reporting period based on an analysis of forecasted demand compared to quantities on hand and any firm purchase orders, as well as product shelf life, and writes down any excess, obsolete or unsaleable inventory to its estimated realizable value in the period which the impairment is first identified. Such write downs, should they occur, are charged to cost of product revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not identify any impaired inventory.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the guidance of Revenue From Contracts With Customers, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“Topic 606”). Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Product revenue, net

The Company’s product revenue consists of sales of KRAZATI. The Company sells KRAZATI principally to specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors, which are referred to as the Company’s customers. These customers subsequently resell the product to healthcare providers and patients. Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer.

The Company records revenues from product sales at the net sales price, or transaction price, which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established primarily from chargebacks, government and commercial rebates, incentives, product returns, trade discounts and other allowances that are offered in contracts between the Company and its customers, healthcare providers and other third-party payors relating to the sales of its product. These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of trade receivables, if the amount is deductible by the customer from payments to the Company, which is included within accounts receivable, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, or a current liability, if the amount is payable by the Company to a customer or third-party, which is included within accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price using the expected value method. These estimates take into consideration relevant factors such as current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, forecasted customer buying and payment patterns, and the Company’s historical experience that will develop over time as KRAZATI is the Company’s first commercial product. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of its contracts. The amount of variable consideration may be constrained and is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenues and earnings in the period such variances become known.

From time to time, the Company may sell KRAZATI to other commercial customers conducting clinical trials. These sales are recorded as part of product revenue, net and reflected at the transaction price, which includes estimates of variable consideration for trade allowances as discussed below.

The following are the components of variable consideration related to product revenue:

Chargebacks. Chargebacks relate to contracts with various third-party payors, including governmental healthcare programs, managed care providers, group purchasing organizations and other organizations, that generally purchase the product from a specialty distributor at a discounted price. The specialty distributor, in turn, charges back to the Company the difference between the price initially paid by the specialty distributor and the discounted price paid to the specialty distributor by its contracted customer. The allowance for chargebacks is based on actual chargebacks received and an estimate of sales by the specialty distributor to its contracted customers. These reserves are recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and a reduction of trade receivables.

Government rebates. The Company is subject to discount obligations under Medicare, Medicaid, and other governmental healthcare programs in the U.S. The Company’s estimates of rebates are based on the government-mandated discounts, which are statutorily-defined and applicable to these government funded programs. These reserves are recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the accrual of an estimated liability. For Medicare, the Company also estimates the number of patients in the prescription drug coverage gap for whom it will owe an additional liability under the Medicare Part D program.

Commercial rebates. The Company contracts with various private payor organizations and group purchasing organizations for the payment of rebates with respect to the utilization of its product. The Company’s estimates for the expected utilization of rebates are based on customer and payor data received from the specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors and historical utilization rates that will develop over time as KRAZATI is the Company’s first commercial product. These reserves are recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the accrual of an estimated liability.

Incentives. The Company offers incentives such as co-payment assistance to commercially insured patients in the U.S. who meet certain eligibility requirements. The Company may provide financial assistance to participating patients with prescription drug co-payments required by the patients’ insurance provider, up to a specified dollar amount. These reserves are
recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the accrual of an estimated liability.

Product returns. Generally, the Company’s customers have the right to return product for a limited time before and after its expiration date. Since the Company does not have its own returns experience, it estimates returns based on available industry data for comparable products in the market as well as other information, such as visibility into the inventory remaining in the distribution channel and expiration date. As the Company distributes its product and establishes historical sales over a longer period of time, the Company will be able to place more reliance on historical purchasing, demand and return patterns of its customers when evaluating its reserves for product returns. The estimate for product returns is recorded as an accrued liability and a reduction of revenue in the period the related product sales are recognized.

Trade allowances. The Company may provide invoice discounts on product sales to its customers for prompt payment based on contractual terms. These discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. Trade receivables are recorded net of the allowance for these discounts. The Company also pays fees to its distributors for their services. The Company has determined such services are not distinct from the Company’s sale of product to its customers and therefore records these payments as a reduction of revenue and a reduction of trade receivables in the period the related product revenue is recognized. To the extent the services received are distinct from the Company’s sale of product to its customers, these payments will be recorded within selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

License and collaboration revenues

The Company’s license and collaboration revenues have been generated primarily through collaborative research, development, manufacture and commercialization agreements. The terms of these agreements generally include the license of intellectual property and associated know-how and the provision of other goods and services. Payments to the Company under these arrangements typically include one or more of the following: non-refundable, up-front license fees; manufacturing supply services; milestone payments; and royalties on future product sales.

License of Intellectual Property. If a license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenue allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue associated with the bundled performance obligation.

Manufacturing Supply Services. The Company’s obligation under the agreements may include the initial supply of material for clinical development. If determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenue allocated to this performance obligation when the collaborative partner obtains control of the goods. If determined not to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenue allocated to the combined performance obligation as the related performance obligations are satisfied.

Milestone Payments. At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments based upon the achievement of specified clinical development, regulatory and/or sales milestones, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone amount is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are dependent on factors outside of the Company’s control, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. These payments are fully constrained and therefore are not included in the transaction price. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of each milestone and any related 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 the reported amount of license and collaboration revenues in the period of adjustment.

Royalties. For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).
Intangible Asset, Net
Intangible Asset, Net

The Company’s finite-lived intangible asset resulted from the capitalization of a milestone payment due under a license and collaboration agreement in connection with the first commercial sale of KRAZATI in the U.S. in December 2022. The intangible asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its remaining useful life, which is estimated to be the remaining patent life of KRAZATI. Amortization expense is recorded as cost of product revenue - intangible asset amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Cost of Product Revenue
Cost of Product Revenue

Cost of product revenue includes direct and indirect costs related to the manufacturing and distribution of KRAZATI, including materials, third-party contract manufacturing costs, packaging services, freight-in, overhead, royalties payable on net sales of KRAZATI and inventory reserves. All product costs incurred prior to FDA approval of KRAZATI in December 2022 were charged to research and development expense.
Leases
Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. For operating leases with an initial term greater than 12 months, the Company recognizes operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Operating lease right-of-use assets are comprised of the lease liability plus any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease terms include options to renew or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain that the renewal option will be exercised or when it is reasonably certain that the termination option will not be exercised. For the Company’s operating leases, if the interest rate used to determine the present value of future lease payments is not readily determinable, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in similar economic environments. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components.
Net Loss per Share Net Loss per ShareBasic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common share equivalents as they are anti-dilutive. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for the period, as well as certain shares that are contingently issuable. Common share equivalents outstanding, determined using the treasury stock method, are comprised of shares that may be issued under the Company’s stock option and warrant agreements, as well as restricted stock units and performance stock units.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. The Company has evaluated recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe any will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or related financial statement disclosures.
