Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management and expected market growth, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including without limitation, risks, uncertainties and assumptions regarding our plans and expectations regarding our strategic alternative review process and the timing and success of such process regarding a potential transaction, our ability to close and realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger and our ability to manage the risks of the Merger, our ability to resume, conduct or successfully complete clinical trials, and our financial position, that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review the disclosures we make concerning these risks and other factors that may affect our business and operating results under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this document.

RISK FACTOR SUMMARY
Our business involves significant risks. Below is a summary of the material risks that our business faces, which makes an investment in our securities speculative and risky. Those risks are not all of the risks we face and other factors not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also affect our business if they occur. These risks are more fully described under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our other filings with the SEC. Before making investment decisions regarding our securities, you should carefully consider these risks. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, prospects and stock price. In such event, the market price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Further, there are additional risks not described below that are either not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, and these additional risks could also materially impair our business, operations or market price of our securities.

In February 2023, after a review of the Company’s business, programs, resources and capabilities, including anticipated costs and timelines, the Company announced the decision to halt further development of its programs and to conduct a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives. The Company also announced a corporate restructuring that resulted in a reduction in its workforce by
As part of the strategic review process, the Company explored potential strategic alternatives that included, without limitation, an acquisition, merger, business combination or other transactions, as well as strategic transactions related to its product candidates and related assets, including, without limitation, licensing transactions and asset sales. In April 2023, the Company sold certain assets, including intellectual property, related to its product candidates MGTA-45 and MGTA-145 and the CD117 antibodies, including the clinical antibody that was used with MGTA-117. The Company also sold certain intellectual property rights related to the Igenica patent portfolio in April 2023 and the E478 technology in July 2023 (see Note 6). The Company has continued to divest and explore strategic alternatives related to data, technology and other intellectual property rights related to the Company’s legacy business that were not in active development and which the Company does not consider material.
On May 2, 2023, following a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Dianthus Therapeutics, Inc. (“Dianthus”) pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company will merge with and into Dianthus, with Dianthus surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). At or prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Company will enter into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (“CVR Agreement”) with a rights agent (“Rights Agent”) pursuant to which the Company’s pre-Merger common stockholders will receive one contingent value right (each, a “CVR”) for each outstanding share of common stock held by such stockholder on such date. The Merger was unanimously approved by Company’s board of directors, and the Company’s board of directors resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement to the Company’s stockholders. The closing of the Merger is subject to approval by the Company’s and Dianthus’ stockholders, as well as other customary closing conditions. If the Merger is completed, the business of Dianthus will continue as the business of the combined company (see Note 13).
The Company’s future operations are highly dependent on the success of the Merger and there can be no assurances that the Merger will be successfully consummated. In the event that the Company does not complete the Merger, the Company may explore strategic alternatives, including, without limitation, another strategic transaction and/or pursue a dissolution and liquidation of the Company.
In January 2023, the Company received a written notice from the staff of Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department, notifying the Company that, for the 30 consecutive business day period between December 15, 2022 through January 30, 2023, the bid price for its common stock had closed below the $
In addition, if the Company were to resume development efforts, the Company would be subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to successfully complete clinical trials, obtain marketing approvals, manufacture a commercial-scale medicine or arrange for a third party to do so on our behalf, conduct sales and marketing activities necessary for successful commercialization of product candidates, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. The development of any product candidates may require significant research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require

(Unaudited)
significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if the Company were successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company would realize significant revenue from product sales.
The Company has incurred recurring losses since inception, including net losses of $
The Company expects to continue to incur costs and expenditures in connection with the process of evaluating strategic alternatives, including the Merger. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to successfully consummate any particular strategic transaction, including the Merger. The process of continuing to evaluate strategic alternatives and pursuing the Merger may be very costly, time-consuming and complex, and the Company has incurred, and may in the future incur, significant costs related to these processes, such as legal, accounting and advisory fees and expenses and other related charges. Should the Company resume the development of product candidates, it will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with continuing operations, particularly as the Company advances its preclinical activities and clinical trials for its product candidates in development. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed, or on attractive terms, it could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate its research or drug development programs or any future commercialization efforts. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the Company to fund continuing operations, if at all.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, the accrual for research and development expenses and the valuation of stock-based awards. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes, however, that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K on file with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2023 and consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 have been made. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or any other interim period.

Marketable Securities
The Company’s marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses are included as a component of interest and other income, net based on the specific identification method. The Company classifies its marketable securities with maturities beyond one year as short-term, based on their highly liquid nature and because such marketable securities are available for current operations.
Effective January 1, 2023, when the fair value is below the amortized cost of a marketable security, an estimate of expected credit losses is made. The credit-related impairment amount is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Credit losses are recognized through the use of an allowance for credit losses account in the consolidated balance sheet and subsequent improvements in expected credit losses are recognized as a reversal of an amount in the allowance account. If the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, then the allowance for the credit loss is written-off and the excess of the amortized cost basis of the asset over its fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. There were no credit losses recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
The Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities are carried at fair value, determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above (see Note 3). The carrying values of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements or in the Company’s tax returns. Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent it believes, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established through a charge to income tax expense. Potential for recovery of deferred tax assets is evaluated by estimating the future taxable profits expected and considering prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in its consolidated financial statements by applying a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized. First, the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination by the taxing authorities. If the tax position is deemed more-likely-than-not to be sustained, the tax position is then assessed to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the consolidated financial

(Unaudited)
statements. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The provision for income taxes includes the effects of any resulting tax reserves, or unrecognized tax benefits, that are considered appropriate as well as the related net interest and penalties.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss includes net loss as well as other changes in stockholders’ equity that result from transactions and economic events other than those with stockholders. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s only element of other comprehensive income (loss) was unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities.
Net Loss per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including potential dilutive common shares assuming the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options. For periods in which the Company has reported net losses, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The Company reported a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Indemnification Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and senior management that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company is not aware of any claims under indemnification arrangements, and it has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. The Company expenses the costs related to its legal proceedings as they are incurred.

In addition, in June 2020, the Company entered into a clinical collaboration agreement with NMDP/Be The Match to evaluate the potential utility of MGTA-145 for mobilizing and collecting hematopoietic stem cells from donors in a single day and then using them for allogeneic transplant in patients. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company was obligated to fund up to fifty percent of NMDP/Be The

13. Merger Agreement
On May 2, 2023, following a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with Dianthus pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company will merge with and into Dianthus, with Dianthus surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger was unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors, and the Company’s board of directors resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement to the Company’s stockholders. The closing of the Merger is subject to approval by the Company’s and Dianthus’ stockholders as well as other customary closing conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with the transaction and Nasdaq’s approval of the listing of the shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued in connection with the transaction. If the Company is unable to satisfy certain closing conditions or if other mutual closing conditions are not satisfied, Dianthus will not be obligated to complete the Merger. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights of each of the Company and Dianthus. Under certain circumstances detailed in the Merger Agreement, the Company could be required to pay Dianthus a termination fee of $

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview
Magenta Therapeutics, Inc. is a biotechnology company previously focused on improving stem cell transplantation. Our drug development pipeline included multiple clinical and preclinical product candidates that were designed to improve stem cell transplant. Our MGTA-117 product candidate was designed as an antibody drug conjugate, or ADC, to deplete CD117-expressing stem cells in the bone marrow in order to make room for subsequently transplanted stem cells or ex vivo gene therapy products. Our second targeted conditioning product candidate, MGTA-45 (formerly known as CD45-ADC), was an ADC designed to selectively target and deplete both stem cells and immune cells and was intended to replace the use of chemotherapy-based conditioning prior to stem cell transplant in patients with blood cancers and autoimmune diseases. Lastly, our MGTA-145 product candidate, in combination with plerixafor, was designed to improve the stem cell mobilization process by which stem cells are mobilized out of the bone marrow and into the bloodstream to facilitate their collection for subsequent transplant back into the body.
In January 2023, we voluntarily paused dosing in our Phase 1/2 clinical trial for MGTA-117 in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia, or AML, and myelodysplastic syndromes, or MDS, after the last participant dosed in Cohort 3 in the clinical trial experienced a Grade 5 serious adverse event (respiratory failure and cardiac arrest resulting in death) deemed to be possibly related to MGTA-117. This safety event was reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, as the study’s third safety event that is of a type referred to as a “Suspected, Unexpected, Serious Adverse Reaction.” The FDA subsequently placed the study on partial clinical hold in February 2023.
In February 2023, after a review of our programs, resources and capabilities, including anticipated costs and timelines, we announced the decision to halt further development of our programs. Specifically, we discontinued the MGTA-117 Phase 1/2 clinical trial in patients with AML and MDS. We discontinued the MGTA-145 Phase 2 stem cell mobilization clinical trial in patients with sickle cell disease, or SCD. Lastly, we stopped incurring certain costs relating to MGTA-45, including manufacturing and costs relating to certain other activities that were intended to support an investigative new drug application, or IND, for MGTA-45. As a result of these decisions, we conducted a corporate restructuring that resulted in a reduction in our workforce by 84%.
Coinciding with the decisions related to our programs and across the portfolio, we announced that we intended to conduct a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives for us and our assets. As part of our strategic review process, we focused on potential strategic alternatives that included, without limitation, an acquisition, merger, business combination or other transaction, as well as strategic transactions regarding our product candidates and related assets, including, without limitation, licensing transactions and asset sales. In April 2023, we sold certain assets, including intellectual property, related to our product candidates MGTA-45, MGTA-145 and the CD117 antibodies, including the clinical antibody that was used with MGTA-117, and we continue to divest and explore strategic alternatives with respect to data, technology and intellectual property rights related to our legacy business that are not in active development and which we do not consider material.
After a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives, including identifying and reviewing potential candidates for a strategic transaction, on May 2, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, with Dianthus Therapeutics, Inc., or Dianthus, pursuant to which our wholly-owned subsidiary will merge with and into Dianthus, with Dianthus surviving as our wholly-owned subsidiary, referred to hereinafter as the Merger. The Merger was unanimously approved by our board of directors, and the board resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement to our stockholders. The closing of the Merger is subject to approval by our and Dianthus’ stockholders, as well as other customary closing conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, in connection with the transaction and Nasdaq’s approval of the listing of the shares of our common stock to be issued in connection with the transaction. If the Merger is completed, the business of Dianthus will continue as the business of the combined company.
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain parties have entered into subscription agreements with Dianthus, pursuant to which they have agreed to purchase, immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, shares of Dianthus common stock and pre-funded warrants for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $70.0 million. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by such agreements is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in the subscription agreement. The Merger and related financing are expected to close in the third quarter of 2023.
At or prior to the effective time of the Merger, we will enter into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement, or CVR Agreement, with a rights agent, or the Rights Agent, pursuant to which our pre-Merger common stockholders will receive one contingent value right, or CVR, for each outstanding share of our common stock held by such stockholder on such date. Each CVR will represent the contractual right to receive payments from the post-closing combined company upon receipt of certain proceeds, if any, derived from
23
Table of Contents
consideration paid as a result of the disposition of our pre-Merger legacy assets, net of any indemnity obligations, transaction costs and certain other expenses. The contingent payments under the CVR Agreement, if they become payable, will become payable to the Rights Agent for subsequent distribution to the holders of the CVRs subject to certain withholdings for expenses and potential indemnity claims. In the event that no such proceeds are received, holders of the CVRs will not receive any payment pursuant to the CVR Agreement. There can be no assurance that any holders of CVRs will receive any payments with respect thereto.
Our future operations are highly dependent on the success of the Merger and there can be no assurances that the Merger will be successfully consummated. There can be no assurance that the strategic review process or any transaction relating to a specific asset, including the Merger or any asset sale, will result in us pursuing such a transaction(s), or that any transaction(s), if pursued, will be completed on terms favorable to us and our stockholders in the existing entity or any possible entity that results from a combination of entities. If the strategic review process is unsuccessful, our board of directors may decide to pursue a dissolution and liquidation.
Since our inception in 2015 and until recently, we had focused substantially all of our efforts and financial resources on organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, acquiring and developing our technology, identifying potential product candidates and undertaking preclinical studies and clinical trials, including of MGTA-117, MGTA-45 and MGTA-145. We do not have any products approved for sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales.
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. Net losses were $32.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $76.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $434.5 million.
We expect to continue to incur costs and expenditures in connection with the process of evaluating our strategic alternatives and the Merger. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to successfully consummate any particular strategic transaction, including the Merger. The process of continuing to evaluate strategic transactions and pursuing the Merger may be very costly, time-consuming and complex, and we have incurred, and may in the future incur, significant costs related to these processes, such as legal, accounting and advisory fees and expenses and other related charges. A considerable portion of these costs will be incurred regardless of whether any particular course of action is implemented or transaction is completed, including the Merger. Any such expenses will decrease the remaining cash available for use in our business. In addition, any strategic business combination or other transactions that we may consummate in the future, including the Merger, could have a variety of negative consequences and we may implement a course of action or consummate a transaction that yields unexpected results that adversely affects our business and decreases the remaining cash available for use in our business or the execution of our strategic plan. There can be no assurances that any particular course of action, business arrangement, transaction, including the Merger, or series of transactions, will be pursued, successfully consummated, lead to increased stockholder value or achieve the anticipated results. Any failure of such potential transaction to achieve the anticipated results could significantly impair our ability to enter into any future strategic transactions and may significantly diminish or delay any future distributions to our stockholders.
Should we resume development of product candidates, our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more product candidates. In addition, we will incur substantial research and developments costs and other expenditures to develop such product candidates, particularly as we:
If we resume development of product candidates, we will not generate revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete clinical development and obtain regulatory approval for such product candidates. If we obtain regulatory approval for product candidates, we expect to incur significant expenses related to developing our commercialization capability to
24
Table of Contents
support product sales, marketing and distribution. Further, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company.
Should we resume development of product candidates, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing and distribution or licensing arrangements. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements or arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all. Additionally, because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with pharmaceutical product development, we are unable to accurately predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when or if we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. Even if we are able to generate product sales, we may not become profitable. Accordingly, if we fail to raise capital or enter into necessary strategic agreements, or fail to ever become profitable, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization of product candidates, and we may also be forced to reduce or terminate our operations.
As of June 30, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $77.6 million. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months from the issuance date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. See “– Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Although the COVID-19 public health emergency officially ended on May 11, 2023 and its immediate impacts have receded, the COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of various variants, has caused and could continue to cause significant disruptions to the U.S., regional and global economies and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets.
The future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our industry, the healthcare system and our current and future operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. These developments may include, without limitation, changes in the actions taken to mitigate the impact of the pandemic, including the adoption, administration and effectiveness of available vaccines, the effect of any restrictions within the Cambridge community or regions in which our partners are located and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and mitigation measures. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a discussion of the potential adverse impact of COVID-19 on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Components of Our Results of Operations
Operating Expenses
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for research activities, including drug discovery efforts, and the development of our product candidates, which include:
We expense research and development costs to operations as incurred. Advance payments for goods or services to be received in the future for use in research and development activities are recorded as prepaid expenses. The prepaid amounts are expensed as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed.
25
Table of Contents
Our direct research and development expenses are tracked on a program-by-program basis and consist primarily of external costs, such as fees paid to consultants, central laboratories, contractors, CDMOs and CROs in connection with our preclinical and clinical development activities. We do not allocate employee costs, costs associated with our platform technology or facility expenses, including depreciation or other indirect costs, to specific product development programs because these costs are deployed across multiple product development programs and, as such, are not separately classified.
Should we resume development of product candidates, the successful development and commercialization is highly uncertain. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties, including the following:
Should we resume development of product candidates, a change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of such product candidates would significantly change the costs and timing associated with their development. We may never succeed in obtaining regulatory approval for any product candidates.
Research and development activities have historically been central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. We expect our research and development expenses to decrease in the near future as we halted the development of our product candidates while we explore strategic alternatives. Should we resume development of product candidates, we expect research and development costs to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as the product candidate development programs progress.
Inflation generally affected us by increasing our cost of labor and clinical trial costs. While we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations during the periods presented, it may result in increased costs in the foreseeable future.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and related costs, and stock-based compensation, for personnel in executive, finance and administrative functions. General and administrative expenses also include direct and allocated facility-related costs and insurance costs, as well as professional fees for legal, patent, consulting, pre-commercialization, accounting and audit services. We expect our general and administrative expenses to decrease in the near future due to our recent workforce reductions. We do expect to incur significant costs, however, related to our exploration of strategic alternatives and the Merger, including legal, accounting and advisory expenses and other related charges.
26
Table of Contents
Restructuring and Other Charges
Restructuring and other charges consist primarily of costs incurred related to the corporate restructuring and the halting of research activities in the first quarter of 2023, including severance and retention as well as lease termination, loss on disposal of property and equipment and impairment of assets held for sale.
Interest and Other Income, Net
Interest and other income, net, consists of interest income and miscellaneous income and expense unrelated to our core operations.

Expenses related to our conditioning program decreased primarily due to a decrease of $2.0 million in costs related to MGTA-45 and a decrease of $1.9 million in costs related to MGTA-117. The decrease in costs related to MGTA-45 was due to the decision to halt certain activities intended to support an IND, including manufacturing. The decrease in costs related to MGTA-117 was primarily due to the discontinuance of the Phase 1/2 clinical trial in patients with relapsed/refractory AML and MDS. The decrease in expenses in our mobilization program was primarily due to the discontinuance of the MGTA-145 Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with SCD.
The decrease in unallocated expenses was primarily due to decreases in personnel-related costs and facility related costs as a result of the corporate restructuring and the halting of research activities in the first quarter of 2023 and the termination of our Cambridge, Massachusetts lease on March 31, 2023.

The decrease in personnel-related costs was due primarily to a decrease in headcount and a decrease in stock-based compensation in our general and administrative function as a result of the corporate restructuring in the first quarter of 2023. Personnel-related costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 included stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The increase in professional and consultant costs was primarily due to higher legal and consultant costs in connection with the Merger and evaluating our strategic alternatives. The decrease in facility related and other costs was primarily due to the termination of our Cambridge, Massachusetts lease on March 31, 2023.
Restructuring and Other Charges
Restructuring and other charges for the three months ended June 30, 2023 consisted primarily of costs incurred related to our corporate restructuring including severance and retention of $2.0 million.
Interest and Other Income, Net
Interest income and other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2023 consisted primarily of other income of $3.3 million recorded in connection with our asset sales, including intellectual property, related to our product candidates MGTA-45, MGTA-145 and the CD117 antibodies, including the clinical antibody that was used with MGTA-117, and interest income of $0.9 million. Interest income and other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2022 consisted primarily of sublease income of $0.6 million and interest income of $0.2 million. The increase in interest income was due to higher interest rates.

The decrease in personnel-related costs was due primarily to a decrease in headcount and a decrease in stock-based compensation in our general and administrative function as a result of the corporate restructuring in the first quarter of 2023. Personnel-related costs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 included stock-based compensation expense of $0.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The increase in professional and consultant costs was primarily due to higher legal and consultant costs in connection with the Merger, evaluating our strategic alternatives and the licensing and sale of assets. The decrease in facility related and other costs was primarily due to the termination of our Cambridge, Massachusetts lease on March 31, 2023.
Restructuring and Other Charges
Restructuring and other charges for the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted primarily of costs incurred related to the corporate restructuring and the halting of research activities in the first quarter of 2023, including severance and retention of $8.3 million, lease termination of $8.1 million related to the termination of our Cambridge, Massachusetts lease, loss on disposal of property and equipment of $3.3 million, primarily related to leasehold improvements, and impairment of assets held for sale of $0.3 million related to the planned disposition of certain lab equipment.
Interest and Other Income, Net
Interest income and other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted primarily of other income of $3.3 million recorded in connection with our asset sales, including intellectual property, related to our product candidates MGTA-45, MGTA-145 and the CD117 antibodies, including the clinical antibody that was used with MGTA-117, reimbursement of $1.2 million of expenses incurred under current vendor agreements during the exclusivity period prior to the sale of certain conditioning assets, interest income of $1.9 million and sublease income of $0.9 million. Interest income and other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2022 consisted primarily of sublease income of $1.4 million and interest income of $0.3 million. The increase in interest income was due to higher interest rates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. We have not yet commercialized any product candidates, and, should we resume development of product candidates, we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of such product candidates for several years, if at all. Since our initial public offering in June 2018, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the sale of our common stock in both private and public offerings.
We have a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, or the Shelf, on file with the SEC, which covers the offering, issuance and sale of up to an aggregate of $250.0 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and/or units of any combination thereof. We also entered into a sales agreement, as amended, with Cowen and Company, LLC, as sales agent to provide for the issuance and sale by us of up to $50.0 million of common stock from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings under the Shelf,
29
Table of Contents
or the ATM Program. The Shelf was declared effective by the SEC on August 12, 2022. Through June 30, 2023, we have sold 1,644,200 shares of our common stock under the ATM Program at a weighted average price per share of $1.82 resulting in net proceeds of $2.8 million after commissions and offering costs. As of June 30, 2023, $247.0 million remained available under the Shelf, including up to $47.0 million available for sale under the ATM Program.

Operating Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, operating activities used $42.1 million of cash, primarily resulting from our net loss of $32.5 million and net cash used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $19.6 million, partially offset by non-cash activities of $9.9 million. Net cash used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted primarily of a decrease of $15.6 million in operating lease liabilities and a decrease of $6.4 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, partially offset by a decrease of $2.5 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets. The decrease in operating lease liabilities was primarily due to a payment of $14.8 million in connection with the termination of our Cambridge, Massachusetts sublease in March 2023.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, operating activities used $36.6 million of cash, primarily resulting from our net loss of $40.2 million and net cash used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $2.8 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $6.4 million. Net cash used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 consisted primarily of a decrease of $2.5 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities and a decrease of $1.4 million in operating lease liabilities, partially offset by a decrease of $1.2 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets.
Changes in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and prepaid expenses and other current assets in both periods were generally due to the timing of vendor invoicing and payments.
Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash provided by investing activities was primarily attributable to net maturities of marketable securities of $40.2 million and proceeds from intangible asset sales of $3.3 million and sale of property and equipment of $2.1 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used by investing activities was primarily attributable to purchases of marketable securities of $40.1 million.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2023 there were no financing activities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities was less than $0.1 million consisting of proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Funding Requirements
We currently expect our expenses to decrease in 2023 compared to 2022 due to our decision to halt further development of product candidates and conduct workforce reductions while we explore strategic alternatives, including the Merger. If we decide to resume the development of product candidates, however, we expect our expenses to increase in order to advance preclinical activities and clinical trials for product candidates in development. As of June 30, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
30
Table of Contents
of $77.6 million. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months from the issuance date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. In addition, our resource requirements could materially change depending on the outcome of our ongoing strategic alternative review process and the Merger. Because our resource requirements could materially change depending on the outcome of our ongoing strategic alternative review process, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our working capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on and could increase significantly as a result of many factors, including those listed above.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, and subject to our pursuit of a potential strategic transaction and the consummation of such potential transaction, we expect to finance our future operations through a combination of equity offerings, including sales under our ATM Program, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, marketing and distribution arrangements, or licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, our stockholders’ ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our stockholders’ rights as a common stockholder. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances, marketing and distribution arrangements, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we resume the development of product candidates and are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research, product development or future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
Nasdaq Delisting Notice
As previously disclosed, on January 31, 2023, we received a written notice from the staff of Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department, notifying us that, for the 30 consecutive business day period between December 15, 2022 through January 30, 2023, the bid price for our common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), or the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were given 180 calendar days, or until July 31, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On July 24, 2023, we applied to transfer of our listing from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market, which transfer was approved effective August 2, 2023. In connection therewith, we were granted an additional 180-day grace period, or until January 29, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, such as the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, Nasdaq may take steps to delist our common stock. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our common stock and may, among other things, adversely impact our ability to raise additional capital or enter into strategic transactions. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC, except as described below.
Lease Obligations
In March 2023, we terminated our sublease for up to approximately 69,000 square feet of office and laboratory space in Cambridge, Massachusetts, resulting in a payment of $14.8 million and the assignment of our sub-sublease to our sublandlord.
License and Collaboration Agreements
In March 2018, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Heidelberg Pharma Research GmbH, or HDPR, whereby the parties agreed to combine our stem cell platform with proprietary antibodies across up to four exclusive targets with HDPR’s proprietary Antibody Targeted Amanitin Conjugates platform. Upon the exercise of certain license rights, we may have been obligated to pay HDPR development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments of up to $83.5 million per target as well as royalties on net sales of products licensed under the agreement. In April 2023, this collaboration agreement was terminated.
We had a license agreement with the President and Fellows of Harvard College, entered into in November 2016, for an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license for certain technologies related to conditioning and mobilization. We were obligated to pay milestone payments of up to $7.4 million for the first two licensed products upon the achievement of certain development and
31
Table of Contents
regulatory milestones and to pay royalties on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis on net sales of products licensed under the agreement. In April 2023, this agreement was amended and restated and a portion of the license agreement related to certain conditioning technology was assigned to a third party in connection with the sale of certain of our conditioning assets.
In November 2022, we entered into a license agreement with ImmunoGen, Inc. for an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license for certain technology related to one of our conditioning programs. Upon execution of the agreement, we made a nonrefundable payment of $4.4 million in partial consideration for the license. We were also obligated to pay milestone payments of up to $125 million in the aggregate upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory and sales-based milestones and to pay single-digit royalties on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis on net sales of products licensed under the agreement. In April 2023, this license agreement was assigned to a third party in connection with the sale of certain of our conditioning assets.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We believe that of our critical accounting policies described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, on file with the SEC, the following involve the most judgment and complexity:
Accordingly, we believe the policies set forth above are critical to fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. If actual results or events differ materially from the estimates, judgments and assumptions used by us in applying these policies, our reported financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS.
We are a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, for this reporting period and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer (our President, Chief Financial and Operating Officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently aware of any such proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
In addition to risks and uncertainties in the ordinary course of business that are common to all businesses, important factors that are specific to our industry and company could have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and in our subsequent periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other than as reflected in the following updated risk factors, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Risks Related to the Merger
The exchange ratio will not change or otherwise be adjusted based on the market price of our common stock as the exchange ratio depends on our net cash at the closing and not the market price of our common stock, so the merger consideration at the closing may have a greater or lesser value than at the time the Merger Agreement was signed.
On May 2, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, with Dianthus Therapeutics, Inc., or Dianthus, pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours will merge with and into Dianthus, with Dianthus surviving as our wholly-owned subsidiary, referred to hereinafter as the “merger.” At the effective time described in the Merger Agreement, outstanding shares of Dianthus capital stock will be converted into shares of our common stock. Applying the exchange ratio, the former Dianthus securityholders immediately before the merger, including shares purchased in the Dianthus pre-closing financing, are expected to own approximately 77.6% of the aggregate number of shares of our common stock and our securityholders immediately before the merger are expected to own approximately 22.4% of the aggregate number of shares of our common stock, subject to certain assumptions. Under certain circumstances further described in the Merger Agreement, the ownership percentages may be adjusted up or down including, but not limited to, if our net cash as of closing is lower than $59.5 million or greater than $60.5 million. Our management currently anticipates our net cash as of closing will be approximately $65.0 million and the currently estimated ownership percentages reflect this projection. In the event our net cash is below $65.0 million, the exchange ratio will be adjusted such that the number of shares issued to Dianthus’ pre-closing securityholders will be increased, and our stockholders will own a smaller percentage of the combined company following the merger.
Any changes in the market price of our stock before the completion of the merger will not affect the number of shares Dianthus stockholders will be entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Therefore, if before the completion of the merger, the market price of our common stock increases from the market price on the date of the Merger Agreement, then Dianthus stockholders could receive merger consideration with substantially more value for their shares of Dianthus capital stock than the parties had negotiated when they established the exchange ratio. Similarly, if before the completion of the merger the market price of our common stock declines from the market price on the date of the Merger Agreement, then Dianthus stockholders could receive merger consideration with substantially lower value. The Merger Agreement does not include a price-based termination right.
Failure to complete the merger may result in paying a termination fee to Dianthus and could harm our common stock price and future business and operations.
If the merger is not completed, we are subject to the following risks:
If the Merger Agreement is terminated and the board of directors of Dianthus determines to seek another business combination, there can be no assurance that we will be able to find another third party to transact a business combination with, yielding comparable or greater benefits.
34
Table of Contents
If the conditions to the merger are not satisfied or waived, the merger may not occur.
Even if the merger is approved by the stockholders of Dianthus, specified conditions must be satisfied or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waived to complete the merger. These conditions are set forth in the Merger Agreement. We cannot assure you that all of the conditions to the consummation of the merger will be satisfied or waived. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the merger may not occur or the closing may be delayed.
The merger may be completed even though a material adverse effect may result from the announcement of the merger, industry-wide changes or other causes.
In general, neither we nor Dianthus is obligated to complete the merger if there is a material adverse effect affecting the other party between May 2, 2023, the date of the Merger Agreement, and the closing of the merger. However, certain types of causes are excluded from the concept of a “material adverse effect.” Such exclusions include but are not limited to changes in general economic or political conditions, industry wide changes, changes resulting from the announcement of the merger, natural disasters, pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic), other public health events and changes in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, if any of these events were to occur and adversely affect us or Dianthus, the other party would still be obliged to consummate the closing of the merger notwithstanding such material adverse effect. If any such adverse effects occur and we consummate the closing of the merger, the stock price of the combined company may suffer. This in turn may reduce the value of the merger to the stockholders of our company, Dianthus or both.
If we complete the merger, the combined company will need to raise additional capital by issuing equity securities or additional debt or through licensing arrangements, which may cause significant dilution to the combined company’s stockholders or restrict the combined company’s operations.
On May 2, 2023, Dianthus entered into subscription agreements with certain investors, including existing investors of Dianthus, pursuant to which the investors agreed to purchase, in the aggregate, $70.0 million in shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants of Dianthus immediately prior to the closing of the merger, referred to as the Dianthus pre-closing financing. The closing of the Dianthus pre-closing financing is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the closing of the merger as well as certain other conditions. The shares of Dianthus common stock and Dianthus pre-funded warrants issued in the Dianthus pre-closing financing will result in dilution to all securityholders of the combined company (i.e., both our pre-merger securityholders and former Dianthus securityholders).
Additional financing may not be available to the combined company when it is needed or may not be available on favorable terms. To the extent that the combined company raises additional capital by issuing equity securities, such financing will cause additional dilution to all securityholders of the combined company, including our pre-merger securityholders and Dianthus’ former securityholders. It is also possible that the terms of any new equity securities may have preferences over the combined company’s common stock. Any debt financing the combined company enters into may involve covenants that restrict its operations. These restrictive covenants may include limitations on additional borrowing and specific restrictions on the use of the combined company’s assets, as well as prohibitions on its ability to create liens, pay dividends, redeem its stock or make investments. In addition, if the combined company raises additional funds through licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to the combined company.
Some of our directors and executive officers have interests in the merger that are different from yours and that may influence them to support or approve the merger without regard to your interests.
Our directors and executive officers may have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of other of our stockholders generally. These interests with respect to our directors and executive officers may include, among others, acceleration of stock option or restricted stock unit vesting, retention bonus payments, extension of exercisability periods of previously issued stock option grants, severance payments if employment is terminated in a qualifying termination in connection with the merger and rights to continued indemnification, expense advancement and insurance coverage. In connection with the merger, each option to purchase shares of Magenta common stock held by Magenta’s directors and executive officers as of the effective time will vest in full upon the closing of the merger and, once vested, such options with an exercise price per share that is equal to or less than $2.00 shall remain outstanding and exercisable until the three-year anniversary of the closing date (or, if earlier, the original expiration date of such option). In addition, all outstanding restricted stock units that vest solely on the basis of time will be accelerated in full as of the effective time, and settled in shares of common stock immediatley prior to the effective time (less a number of shares of common stock equal to the tax withholding obligations). Two members of the Company’s board of directors, Alison F. Lawton and Anne McGeorge, will continue as directors of the combined company after the effective time, and, following the closing of the merger, will be eligible to be compensated as non-employee directors of the combined company.
35
Table of Contents
In addition, certain current members of Dianthus’ board of directors will continue as directors of the combined company after the effective time, and, following the closing of the merger, will be eligible to be compensated as non-employee directors of the combined company pursuant to our non-employee director compensation policy that is expected to remain in place following the effective time.
Our board of directors was aware of and considered those interests, among other matters, in reaching their decisions to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, approve the merger, and recommend the approval of the Merger Agreement to our and Dianthus stockholders. These interests, among other factors, may have influenced the directors and executive officers of each company to support or approve the merger.
Our stockholders may not realize a benefit from the merger commensurate with the ownership dilution they will experience in connection with the merger, including the conversion of Dianthus common stock issued in the Dianthus pre-closing financing.
If the combined company is unable to realize the full strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the merger, our stockholders will have experienced substantial dilution of their ownership interests without receiving any commensurate benefit, or only receiving part of the commensurate benefit to the extent the combined company is able to realize only part of the strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the merger.
If the merger is not completed, our stock price may decline significantly.
The market price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations. Market prices for securities of pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other life science companies have historically been particularly volatile. In addition, the market price of our common stock will likely be volatile based on whether stockholders and other investors believe that we can complete the merger or otherwise raise additional capital to support our operations if the merger is not consummated and another strategic transaction cannot be identified, negotiated and consummated in a timely manner, if at all. The volatility of the market price of our common stock has been and may be exacerbated by low trading volume. Additional factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate include:
Moreover, the stock markets in general have experienced substantial volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market fluctuations may also adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, stockholders have often instituted class action securities litigation against such companies.
Our securityholders will generally have a reduced ownership and voting interest in, and will exercise less influence over the management of, the combined company following the completion of the merger as compared to their current ownership and voting interests in the respective companies.
After the completion of the merger, our current stockholders will generally own a smaller percentage of the combined company than their ownership of our company prior to the merger. Immediately after the merger, our stockholders as of immediately prior to the merger are expected to own approximately 22.4% of the outstanding shares of the combined company, former Dianthus securityholders, including shares purchased in the Dianthus pre-closing financing, are expected to own approximately 77.6% of the outstanding shares of the combined company, subject to certain assumptions. Under certain circumstances further described in the Merger Agreement, the ownership percentages may be adjusted up or down including, but not limited to, if our net cash as of closing is lower than $59.5 million or greater than $60.5 million. Our management currently anticipates our net cash as of closing will be approximately $65.0 million and the currently estimated ownership percentages reflect this projection. The Chief Executive Officer of Dianthus will serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the combined company following the completion of the merger.
36
Table of Contents
During the pendency of the merger, we may not be able to enter into a business combination with another party on more favorable terms because of restrictions in the Merger Agreement, which could adversely affect their respective business prospects.
Covenants in the Merger Agreement impede our ability to make acquisitions during the pendency of the merger, subject to specified exceptions. As a result, if the merger is not completed, the parties may be at a disadvantage to their competitors during that period. In addition, while the Merger Agreement is in effect, each party is generally prohibited from soliciting, seeking, initiating or knowingly encouraging, inducing or facilitating the communication, making, submission or announcement of any acquisition proposal or acquisition inquiry or taking any action that could reasonably be expected to lead to certain transactions involving a third party, including a merger, sale of assets or other business combination, subject to specified exceptions. Any such transactions could be favorable to such party’s stockholders, but the parties may be unable to pursue them.
Certain provisions of the Merger Agreement may discourage third parties from submitting competing proposals, including proposals that may be superior to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
The terms of the Merger Agreement prohibit us from soliciting competing proposals or cooperating with persons making unsolicited takeover proposals, except in limited circumstances. In addition, if we terminate the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, we could be required to pay Dianthus a termination fee of $13.3 million, plus up to $1.5 million in expense reimbursements. This termination fee may discourage third parties from submitting competing proposals to us or our respective stockholders and may cause our board of directors to be less inclined to recommend a competing proposal.
The tax treatment of the CVRs is uncertain.
We intend to treat the issuance of contingent value rights, or the CVRs, to the persons who prior to completion of the merger were our stockholders as a distribution of property with respect to our common stock. However, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the CVRs is uncertain. There is no legal authority directly addressing the U.S. federal income tax treatment of contingent value rights with characteristics similar to the CVRs. Therefore, it is possible that the issuance of the CVRs may be treated as a distribution of equity with respect to our stock, as an “open transaction,” or as a “debt instrument” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and such questions are inherently factual in nature.

CERTIFICATION OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL AND ACCOUNTING OFFICER PURSUANT TO
RULE 13A-14(A) / RULE 15D-14(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED
I, Stephen Mahoney, certify that:
1. I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Magenta Therapeutics, Inc.;
2.
