SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements provide the Company’s current expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements include statements about the Company’s expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, intentions, assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. Words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will” and “would,” or similar words or phrases, or the negatives of those words or phrases, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Examples of forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s disclosure concerning its future operations, cash flows, financial position, dividend policy, prospects, strategies, objectives and other future events.
Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report and in any document incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report may include, for example, statements about:
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this Quarterly Report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as specifically required by law. You should, however, review the factors and risks that the Company describes in the reports it files from time to time with the SEC.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect the Company’s beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to the Company as of the date of this Quarterly Report. And while the Company believes that information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that information may be limited or incomplete. The Company’s statements should not be read to indicate that it has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and you are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.
Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements were reasonable at the time made, it cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance, achievements or events. You should carefully consider the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section in connection with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly
3
Report and any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that may be issued by the Company or persons acting on its behalf.
Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates, references to “we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company” refer to NewAmsterdam Pharma Company N.V., together with its subsidiaries.

NewAmsterdam Pharma Company N.V.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. The Company
NewAmsterdam Pharma Company N.V. (“NewAmsterdam Pharma” or the “Company”) is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company whose mission is to improve patient care in populations with metabolic diseases where currently approved therapies have not been adequate or well-tolerated. The Company was incorporated in the Netherlands as a Dutch private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) under the name NewAmsterdam Pharma Company B.V. on June 10, 2022. On November 21, 2022, the Company’s corporate form was converted to a Dutch public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) and its name was changed to NewAmsterdam Pharma Company N.V. The Company’s ordinary shares, nominal value €
The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biopharmaceutical industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of more advanced or effective therapies, dependence on key executives, protection of and dependence on intellectual property, compliance with government regulations and ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. Significant additional research and development efforts and regulatory approval will be required prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with our audited financial statements and accompanying notes for year ended December 31, 2024, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Annual Report"), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2025. Any terms not defined herein take the meaning as defined in the Annual Report. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, and accordingly the balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 included herein has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial information. The interim results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any other interim period or for any other future year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. Any reference in these notes to the applicable guidance is meant to refer to authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

The estimated fair value of the derivative earnout liability was determined using Level 3 inputs, other than the Company's share price as a Level 1 input, as no observable market inputs were available. The derivative earnout liability has been measured at fair value using a
10
Black-Scholes pricing model. Given the assumed zero dividend rate and the fact that no strike price exists that would have led to any volatility measure relative to the Company's share price, the fair value of the earnout liability resulting from the Black-Scholes pricing model is entirely driven by the Company’s closing share price as a Level 1 input and the probability of milestone completion as a Level 3 input.

As management's judgment of the probability of milestone completion remained constant during the period, the change in fair value resulted from the Company’s price per share between valuation dates.

Expected Term
The Company’s expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and is determined using the simplified method (based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term). The Company utilizes this method due to lack of historical exercise data and the plain-vanilla nature of the Company’s stock-based awards.
Expected Volatility
Since the Company was privately held through November 2022, it alone does not have sufficient relevant company-specific historical data to support its expected volatility alone. In prior periods, due to the insufficiency of historical volatility data on the Company’s own securities, the expected volatility input was determined using comparable companies alone. Beginning on January 1, 2024 expected volatility input was determined using a weighted average calculation considering the volatility of the Company’s own securities and the volatilities of a representative group of publicly traded biopharmaceutical companies over a period equal to the expected term of the stock option grants. Initially, the volatility of the Company’s Ordinary Shares is assigned a weighting of
Risk-Free Interest Rate
The risk-free interest rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant, with a term that approximates the expected life of the Company Option.
Expected Dividend
The expected dividend rate is zero as the Company currently has no history or expectation of declaring dividends on its Ordinary Shares.

As at December 31, 2024 the Company had allocated

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The Company has entered into a variety of agreements and financial commitments in the normal course of business with contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations, and other third parties for preclinical and clinical development and manufacturing services. The terms generally provide the Company with the option to cancel, reschedule and adjust its requirements based on the Company's business needs, prior to the delivery of goods or performance of services. Payments due upon cancellation generally consist only of payments for services provided or expenses incurred, including non-cancellable obligations of the Company's service providers, up to the date of cancellation. However, some of the Company's service providers also charge cancellation fees upon cancellation. The amount and timing of such payments are not known, but at June 30, 2025 they are estimated to be a maximum of $
According to the terms of the Menarini License the Company will be responsible for development and commercialization costs related to Licensed Products other than those in the Menarini Territory. In addition, under specified conditions of the agreement, the Company agreed to bear

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read together with our audited financial statements and accompanying notes for year ended December 31, 2024, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Annual Report"), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2025, and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the Annual Report and this Quarterly Report. Our operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may occur for the full fiscal year or any other future period.
Overview
We are a late-stage biopharmaceutical company whose mission is to improve patient care in populations with cardiometabolic diseases where currently approved therapies have not been adequate or well tolerated. We seek to fill a significant unmet need for a safe, well tolerated and convenient low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (“LDL-C”) lowering therapy. In multiple Phase 3 trials, we have investigated obicetrapib, an oral, low-dose, once-daily, highly selective cholesteryl ester transfer protein (“CETP”) inhibitor, alone or as a fixed-dose combination with ezetimibe, as LDL-C lowering therapies to be used as an adjunct to statin therapy for patients at risk of cardiovascular disease (“CVD”) with elevated LDL-C, for whom existing therapies are not sufficiently effective or well tolerated. We believe that CETP inhibition may also play a role in other indications by potentially mitigating the risk of developing diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”).
Obicetrapib is a next-generation, oral, low-dose, highly selective CETP inhibitor that we are developing to potentially overcome the limitations of current LDL-C lowering treatments. In addition to LDL-C, in clinical trials obicetrapib has shown significant reductions in lipoprotein (a) (“Lp(a)”) and small LDL particles, all with safety comparable to placebo. We believe that obicetrapib has the potential to be a once-daily oral CETP inhibitor for lowering LDL-C, if approved. In each of our Phase 3 clinical trials, BROADWAY and BROOKLYN, evaluating obicetrapib as an adjunct to high-intensity statin therapy, obicetrapib met its primary and secondary endpoints, with statistically significant reductions in LDL-C observed. In our Phase 3 TANDEM clinical trial, evaluating obicetrapib in combination with ezetimibe as an adjunct to high-intensity statin therapy, obicetrapib in combination with ezetimibe met its primary and secondary endpoints, with statistically significant reductions in LDL-C observed. In five of our Phase 2 clinical trials, TULIP, ROSE, OCEAN, ROSE2 and our Japan Phase 2b clinical trial, evaluating obicetrapib as a monotherapy or a combination therapy with ezetimibe 10 mg, we observed statistically significant LDL-C lowering with side effects similar in frequency and severity to placebo including muscle-related side effects and drug-related treatment emergent serious adverse events. We have observed obicetrapib to be well tolerated in an aggregate of over 3,500 patients with low or moderately elevated LDL-C levels (“dyslipidemia”) in our clinical trials to date. Furthermore, we believe that obicetrapib’s oral delivery, demonstrated activity at low doses, chemical properties and tolerability make it well-suited for combination approaches.
Lowering of LDL-C, has been associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (“MACE”) benefit in trials of LDL-C lowering drugs, including the REVEAL trial with the CETP inhibitor, anacetrapib. In our Phase 3 BROADWAY clinical trial we observed a 21% reduction in the exploratory MACE endpoint (coronary heart disease death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke and coronary revascularization) and we are performing a Phase 3 cardiovascular outcomes trial (“CVOT”), PREVAIL, to reconfirm this relationship.
In our clinical trials, obicetrapib has not only reduced LDL-C but also several additional biomarkers associated with MACE including non-HDL-C, apolipoprotein B, and small dense lipoprotein particles. We have also observed reductions in Lp(a), which is believed to be an independent MACE risk factor, along with reductions in total lipoprotein (“LDL”) particles and more specifically small LDL particles, which are believed to be more atherogenic particles.
CVD is a leading cause of death worldwide. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (“ASCVD”) is primarily caused by atherosclerosis, which involves the build-up of fatty material within the inner walls of the arteries. Atherosclerosis is the primary cause of heart attacks, strokes and peripheral vascular disease. One of the most
16
important risk factors for ASCVD is hypercholesterolemia, which refers to elevated LDL-C levels within the body, commonly known as high cholesterol.
A significant proportion of patients with high cholesterol do not achieve acceptable LDL-C levels using statin therapy alone. We estimate that in the United States there are approximately 30 million patients that are not at their risk-based LDL-C goals despite treatment with lipid lowering therapy, including approximately 13 million with ASCVD. Existing non-statin treatment options have been largely unable to address the needs of patients with high cholesterol due to limited efficacy, an inconvenient injectable administration route and, in the past, market access restrictions. It is estimated that over 75% of ASCVD and heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (“HeFH”) outpatients prefer oral drugs to injectable therapies.
Our goal is to develop and commercialize an LDL-C lowering monotherapy and a fixed-dose combination therapy, which offers the advantage of a single, low dose, once-daily oral pill, and fulfills the significant unmet need for an effective and convenient LDL-C lowering therapy. If we obtain marketing approval, we intend to commercialize obicetrapib for patients with ASCVD and/or HeFH and elevated levels of LDL-C despite being treated with currently available optimal lipid lowering therapy.
We have partnered with Menarini, providing them with the exclusive rights to commercialize obicetrapib 10 mg, either as a sole active ingredient product or in a fixed-dose combination with ezetimibe, in the majority of European countries, if approved. Subject to receipt of marketing approval, our current plan is to pursue development and commercialization of obicetrapib in the United States ourselves, and to consider additional partners for jurisdictions outside of the United States and the European Union (the “EU”), including in Japan and China. In addition to our partnership with Menarini, we may in the future utilize a variety of types of collaboration, license, monetization, distribution and other arrangements with other third parties relating to the development or commercialization, once approved, of obicetrapib or future product candidates or indications. We are also continually evaluating the potential acquisition or license of new product candidates.
Recent Developments
Positive Alzheimer's Disease Biomarker Data from BROADWAY Clinical Trial
On July 30, 2025, we announced data from the prespecified AD biomarker analysis in our BROADWAY clinical trial. The BROADWAY trial was primarily designed as a pivotal Phase 3 trial to evaluate LDL-C lowering efficacy of obicetrapib in adult patients with established ASCVD and/or HeFH, whose LDL-C is not adequately controlled, despite being on maximally tolerated lipid-lowering therapy. In connection with this trial, a prespecified analysis evaluated the effect of obicetrapib on plasma biomarkers of AD in 1,515 patients with established ASCVD and/or HeFH whose ApoE status was able to be determined based on phenotypic testing, including 367 ApoE4 carriers. ApoE4 is both a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and AD where ApoE4 carriers generally exhibit higher levels of LDL-C, Lp(a), and reduced cholesterol transport and clearance. Safety in this population was not evaluated independently from the overall BROADWAY study population, where obicetrapib was observed to be well-tolerated, with safety results comparable to placebo. Because this analysis was based on a subset of patients from BROADWAY (which was designed to evaluate LDL-C reductions in an ASCVD and/or HeFH population), it was not controlled for baseline differences between the treatment and placebo population.
In this analysis, treatment with obicetrapib 10 mg daily for 12 months resulted in statistically significant lower absolute changes in plasma p-tau217, a key biomarker of AD pathology, in both the analysis set of patients with baseline and end of study datapoints above the lower limit of quantification and excluding ApoE2/ApoE4 carriers (p=0.0019; n=1,515) and in the ApoE4 carriers (p=0.0215; n=367). Favorable trends were also observed across additional biomarkers, including neurofilament light chain (“NFL”), glial fibrillary acidic protein (“GFAP”), p-tau181, and the Aβ42/40 ratio, in the full analysis set and in ApoE4 carriers, with the greatest effect generally observed in carriers of two E4 proteins.

p-tau217 is one of the first biomarkers to provide evidence of neurodegeneration and can begin to increase more than 20 years before onset of cognitive impairment. In addition, p-tau217 has been reported to have significantly higher accuracy in assessing AD than alternative plasma- or MRI-based analyses, and its performance has been reported to not significantly differ from key CSF- or PET-based measures. NFL and GFAP biomarkers are also considered predictive of neurodegeneration, and elevated levels in the blood have been associated with AD progression and pathology. These results build on the Company’s Phase 2a proof of concept trial and preclinical data, which showed reductions in brain cholesterol metabolites and stabilization of AD biomarkers in ApoE4 carriers.
Components of our Results of Operations
Revenue
To date, we have not generated any revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products. Our revenue has been solely derived from our license agreement with Menarini. Two performance obligations for the Menarini license were identified at contract inception, comprising a license to use our intellectual property (the “license performance obligation”) and a promise to continue the development activities for the licensed compound (the “R&D performance obligation”). Pursuant to the Menarini License, we received a non-refundable, non-creditable upfront amount of $120.9 million (€115.0 million) from Menarini on July 7, 2022, of which $98.6 million (€93.5 million) was attributed to the license performance obligation and recognized as revenue upon the execution of the Menarini License on June 23, 2022. The remaining $22.3 million (€21.5 million) was attributed to the R&D performance obligation and initially recognized as deferred revenue. As of June 30, 2025, the R&D performance obligation had been deemed to be completely satisfied and all deferred revenue related to such performance obligation was recognized.
Additionally, in partial contribution to our costs of development of the licensed products, Menarini may pay us €27.5 million, payable in two equal annual installments and attributed entirely to the R&D performance obligation. Due to the scientific uncertainties around the commercialization of the licensed products based on the success of clinical trials, which is out of our control, the fixed €27.5 million was considered constrained at contract execution and was not initially recognized within the transaction price until it becomes highly probable of no significant revenue reversal. As of June 30, 2025, both annual development cost contributions had been recognized within the transaction price.
Under the Menarini License, we are also entitled to receive certain cost sharing payments, sales-based royalties and payments based upon the achievement of defined development, regulatory and commercial milestones linked to the enhanced value of the license performance obligation. These milestones are contingent payments and represent variable considerations that are not initially recognized within the transaction price, due to the scientific uncertainties around the commercialization of the licensed products based on the success of clinical trials. Our ability to receive and generate revenue from these payments is dependent upon a number of factors, including our ability to successfully complete the development of and obtain regulatory approval for obicetrapib within the Menarini Territory. The uncertainty of achieving these milestones significantly impacts our ability to generate revenue. At the end of each reporting period, we assess the probability of significant reversals for any amounts that
18
become likely to be realized prior to recognizing the variable consideration associated with these payments within the transaction price.
We do not expect to generate any revenue from product sales for the foreseeable future. Any revenue generated from potential future collaborations may vary due to the many uncertainties in the development of obicetrapib and other factors.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses are recognized as an expense when incurred and are typically made up of costs from our clinical and preclinical activities, drug development and manufacturing costs, and costs for contract research organizations (“CROs”) and investigative sites. Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical trials, are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data provided by vendors of their actual costs incurred. At each balance sheet date, we estimate the level of services provided by vendors and the associated expenditure incurred for the services performed.
All such costs are for the purpose of advancing our product candidates to successfully complete clinical development, attain regulatory approval and, if approved, commercialize our product candidates. Much of our current focus in our ongoing trials is on patient recruitment and retention and data cleaning. Research and development expenses consist of the following:
We expect our research and development expenses to be significant as we advance our product candidates through clinical trials and pursue regulatory approval. The process of conducting the necessary clinical trials to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time-consuming. Clinical trials generally become larger and more costly to conduct as they advance into later stages and, in the future, we will be required to make estimates for expense accruals related to clinical trial expenses. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing and estimated costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the development of obicetrapib as a monotherapy and as a fixed-dose combination with ezetimibe. See the section entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Product Development, Regulatory Approval and Commercialization” contained in the Annual Report for more information regarding the risks associated with clinical development.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
We recognize selling, general and administrative expenses on the accrual basis when incurred. These expenses mainly relate to consultant fees, employee costs, legal costs, marketing and communication, intellectual property costs due to increased efforts to drug patent development and protection globally, and general overhead costs.
Due to the general growth of the organization associated with administering ongoing and planned clinical trials and our focus on commercial preparedness, we expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses may increase. We will incur increased accounting, audit, legal, regulatory, compliance, director and officer insurance costs as well as investor and public relations expenses associated with being a public company. Additionally, if and when a regulatory approval of a product candidate appears likely, we anticipate an increase in payroll and expenses as a result of our preparation for commercial operations.
19
Interest Income
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate method. Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is related to interest earned on cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.
Net Foreign Exchange Gain/Loss
Our exchange gain relates mainly to cash balances denominated in foreign currencies, but also to transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Our foreign currency exposure is mainly related to the Euro. As of June 30, 2025, our net exposure to foreign currency risk was $124.3 million, as compared to $108.6 million as of December 31, 2024.
Income Tax
We have a history of losses and therefore have de minimis amounts of corporate tax. We expect to continue incurring losses as we continue to invest in our clinical and preclinical development programs. Consequently, any deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance on our balance sheet.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $27.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $16.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $10.8 million or 65%. This was primarily driven by:
Interest Income
Interest income was $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $2.2 million or 45%. This increase was largely driven by an increase in the amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities on which interest was earned.
Fair Value Change - Earnout
Fair value change - earnout was nil for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a gain of $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The earnout liability was settled in full in March 2025.
Fair Value Change - Warrants
Fair value change - warrants was a gain of $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a gain of $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The change is driven by changes in the market price of the warrants trading under the symbol “NAMSW” (the “Warrants”) during the period.
Foreign Exchange Gains/(Losses)
Net foreign exchange gains/(losses) were a gain of $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a loss of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This change was largely driven by movements in the exchange rate for Euros which is our primary foreign currency exposure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
To date, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, undertaking preclinical studies and conducting clinical trials of obicetrapib. As a result, we are not yet profitable and have incurred losses in each annual period since our inception. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated loss of $615.5 million. We expect to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.
We have historically funded our operations primarily through private and public placements of shares, the sale of convertible notes, proceeds from the Menarini License and the proceeds from the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $783.3 million.
Sources of Liquidity
December 2024 Follow-on Offering
On December 13, 2024, we completed an underwritten public offering (the “December 2024 Offering”) of 14,667,347 Ordinary Shares at a public offering price of $24.50 per Ordinary Share and, in lieu of Ordinary Shares to certain investors, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 4,882,653 Ordinary Shares at a public offering price of $24.4999 per Pre-Funded Warrant, which represents the per share public offering price for the Ordinary Shares, less the $0.0001 per share exercise price for each such Pre-Funded Warrant. Of the 14,667,347 Ordinary Shares issued and sold in the December 2024 Offering, 2,550,000 Ordinary Shares were issued and sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Ordinary Shares at the public offering price per share. The net proceeds to the Company from the December 2024 Offering were $453.4 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company.
February 2024 Follow-on Offering
On February 16, 2024, we completed an underwritten public offering (the “February 2024 Offering”) of 5,871,909 Ordinary Shares at a public offering price of $19.00 per Ordinary Share and, in lieu of Ordinary Shares to certain investors, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 4,736,841 Ordinary Shares at a public offering price of $18.9999 per Pre-Funded Warrant, which represents the per share public offering price for the Ordinary Shares less the $0.0001 per share exercise price for each such Pre-Funded Warrant. Of the 5,871,909 Ordinary Shares issued and sold in the February 2024 Offering, 1,383,750 Ordinary Shares were issued and sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Ordinary Shares at the public offering price per share. The net proceeds to the Company from the February 2024 Offering were $190.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company.
At-the-Market Offering
On August 9, 2024, we entered into an amended and restated sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cowen and Company, LLC (“TD Cowen”), pursuant to which we may issue and sell from time to time up to $250 million of our Ordinary Shares through or to TD Cowen as our sales agent or acting as principal in any method deemed to be an “at the market offering.” TD Cowen will receive a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of any Ordinary Shares sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we did not sell any Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement.
Menarini License
On June 23, 2022, we entered into the Menarini License, pursuant to which we granted Menarini an exclusive, royalty-bearing, sublicensable license under certain of our intellectual property and our regulatory documentation to undertake post approval development activities and commercialize the Licensed Products, for any use in the Menarini Territory. Pursuant to the Menarini License, Menarini made a non-refundable, non-creditable upfront payment to us of €115 million. Menarini has also committed to providing us €27.5 million in funding for the research and development activities related to the Licensed Products over two years, together with bearing 50% of any development costs incurred in respect of the pediatric population in the Menarini Territory. We are also eligible to receive up to €863 million upon the achievement of various clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones. If
24
obicetrapib is approved, and successfully commercialized by Menarini, we will be entitled to tiered royalties ranging from the low double-digits to the mid-twenties as a percentage of net sales in the Menarini Territory, with royalty step-downs in the event of generic entrance or in respect of required third-party intellectual property payments. See the section entitled “Business—Commercial” contained in our Annual Report for a full description of the Menarini License.
As of June 30, 2025, we have received a total of €30 million and €13.8 million in milestone payments and R&D cost reimbursements, respectively, from Menarini, including €13.8 million which was received in the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Warrants
In the six months ended June 30, 2025, 16,042 Warrants were exercised at an exercise price of $11.50 per Ordinary Share generating gross proceeds of $0.2 million. As of June 30, 2025, we had another 2,616,539 outstanding Warrants to purchase 2,616,539 Ordinary Shares, exercisable at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, which expire on November 23, 2027, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time. Based on the exercise price of the Warrants, we may receive up to $30.1 million assuming the exercise of all Warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2025. The exercise of the Warrants, and any proceeds we may receive from their exercise, are highly dependent on the price of our Ordinary Shares and the spread between the exercise price of the Warrant and the price of an Ordinary Share at the time of exercise. For example, to the extent that the trading price of the Ordinary Shares exceeds $11.50 per share, it is more likely that holders of our Warrants will exercise their Warrants. If the trading price of the Ordinary Shares is less than $11.50 per share, it is unlikely that such holders will exercise their Warrants. The exercise price of the Warrants has at times exceeded the market price of the Ordinary Shares. To the extent that the price of our Ordinary Shares is below $11.50, we believe that the Warrant holders will be unlikely to cash exercise their warrants, resulting in little to no cash proceeds to us. There can be no assurance that our Warrants will be in the money prior to their expiration and, as such, certain unexercised Warrants may expire worthless. As such, it is possible that we may never generate any additional cash proceeds from the exercise of our Warrants. We have not included, and do not intend to include, any potential cash proceeds from the exercise of our Warrants in our short-term or long-term liquidity projections. We will continue to evaluate the probability that the Warrants are exercised over the life of our Warrants and the merit of including potential cash proceeds from the exercise thereof in our liquidity projections.

Net Cash Flows Used In Operating Activities
Net cash flows used in operating activities was $74.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $108.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $34.5 million. This change was primarily due to an increase in interest income and the receipt of the first of two annual development cost contributions due under the Menarini License.
Net Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities was $156.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, a change of $155.7 million. The change was primarily due to
25
our investments in available-for-sale debt securities of which we had none in the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, purchases of debt securities totaled $193.3 million, partially offset by maturities of debt securities totaling $37.2 million.
Net Cash Flows Provided By Financing Activities
Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $9.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $202.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $192.9 million. This decrease was primarily related to the receipt of proceeds from the February 2024 Offering in the prior year.
Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements
Third-Party Service Agreements
We have entered into a variety of agreements and financial commitments in the normal course of business with CROs, CMOs, and other third parties for preclinical and clinical development and manufacturing services. The terms generally provide us with the option to cancel, reschedule and adjust our requirements based on our business needs, prior to the delivery of goods or performance of services. Payments due upon cancellation generally consist only of payments for services provided or expenses incurred, including non-cancelable obligations of our service providers, up to the date of cancellation. However, some of our service providers also charge cancellation fees upon cancellation. The amount and timing of such payments are not known, but at June 30, 2025 they are estimated to be a maximum of $18.3 million due within one year and $2.2 million due in more than a year. As at June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $563.9 million which is sufficient to fund these obligations.
Leases
We are party to a services agreement (the "Naarden Lease") pursuant to which an affiliate of Forbion leased us office space, an office lease agreement with Renaissance Aventura LLC, dated May 24, 2021, as amended April 9, 2024 (as amended, the “Miami Lease”), and an office sublease agreement with GR8 People, Inc., dated April 2, 2024 (the “Yardley Lease”). Under the Naarden Lease, we are obligated to pay €40 thousand per year in rent. The Naarden Lease will continue until terminated by either us or the landlord. Pursuant to the Miami Lease, we are required to pay annual rent ranging from $75 thousand to $82 thousand, increasing from the low end of the range to the higher end of the range for each year of the lease. The Miami Lease will expire by its terms on October 31, 2027, unless terminated earlier by either party pursuant to the terms of the Miami Lease. Pursuant to the Yardley Lease, we are required to pay annual rent ranging from $189 thousand to $194 thousand, increasing from the low end of the range to the higher end of the range for each year of the lease. The Yardley Lease will expire by its terms on April 3, 2026, unless terminated earlier by either party pursuant to the terms of the Yardley Lease.
Menarini License
We will be responsible for the development and commercialization costs related to Licensed Products other than those in the Menarini Territory. In addition, under specified conditions of the agreement, we agreed to bear 50% of certain development costs incurred by the other party in the development of the Licensed Products in the Menarini Territory. See the section entitled “Business—Marketing and Sales” contained in the Annual Report for a description of the Menarini License.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our 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 at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We based our estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. If actual results differ from our estimates, or to the extent these estimates are adjusted in future periods, our results of operations could either benefit from, or be adversely affected by, any such change in estimate.
26
See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report and Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for a summary of significant accounting policies and the effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Our principal financial liabilities consist of trade and other payables, lease liabilities and derivative warrant liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance our day-to-day operations. Our financial assets consist of prepayments and other receivables and cash, that are derived from our operating activities and funding.
We are exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Our senior management oversees the management of these risks. Our Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") reviews and approves policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risks.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily through our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Changes in interest rates may cause variations in interest income and expense resulting from short-term interest-bearing assets. We invest in high-quality financial instruments, primarily money market funds and U.S. government and agency securities with maturities of less than one year, which we believe are subject to limited credit risk. We regularly review our investments and monitor the financial markets and we do not currently hedge interest rate exposure. Due to the nature of our investments, we do not believe an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would have a material effect on our financial condition. We do not believe that we have any material exposure to interest rate risk or changes in credit ratings arising from our investments.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Our exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to cash and trade and other payables denominated in currencies other than our functional currency, the U.S. Dollar. As of June 30, 2025, our net exposure to foreign currency risk was $124.3 million, mainly related to the Euro. As of June 30, 2025, the effect of a hypothetical 1% change in exchange rates on currencies denominated in other than our functional currency would result in a potential change in future earnings in our consolidated statement of operations of approximately $1.2 million.
We partly manage our foreign currency risk by selectively holding foreign currency in our cash to offset foreign currency exposures from lease liabilities and trade and other payables. We plan to use this cash to settle future expenses we expect to incur in those foreign currencies.
Other Market Price Risk
As a result of the Business Combination, we have derivative warrant liabilities, which are measured at fair value through profit or loss. As of June 30, 2025 the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities totaled $20.9 million. The value of the derivative warrant liability is directly correlated to the market price of a publicly traded Warrant which is traded under the symbol "NAMSW". With all other variables held constant, a 1% change in the market price of NAMSW would change the value of the derivative warrant liability by 1% or $0.2 million.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. We are exposed to credit risk primarily from our treasury activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions and have limited credit risk exposure from our operating activities. We hold available cash in bank accounts with banks which have investment grade credit ratings. Management periodically reviews the creditworthiness of the banks with which it holds assets.
27
We perform research and development activities and do not yet have any sales. We are able to reclaim value added tax, which is recoverable from tax authorities. Management periodically reviews the recoverability of the balance of input value added tax and believes it is fully recoverable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer (our Chief Executive Officer) and principal financial officer (our Chief Financial Officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2025.
Changes in Internal Controls 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, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
28
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are not party to any material pending legal proceedings. From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025.
Risks Related to Government Regulation
Changes in U.S. government policies including increased tariffs could adversely affect our business.
Significant political, trade, or regulatory developments in the jurisdictions in which we may sell our product, if approved, such as those stemming from the change in U.S. federal administration, are difficult to predict and may have a material adverse effect on us. Similarly, changes in U.S. federal policy that affect the geopolitical landscape could give rise to circumstances outside our control that could have negative impacts on our business operations. For example, recent policy actions by the Trump administration, including the imposition of new tariffs on imported materials and goods from certain non-U.S. countries, may have an adverse impact on our business.
In April 2025, the Trump administration imposed a baseline ten percent tariff on imports from all nations importing goods to the United States, with that baseline supplemented in certain cases by additional tariffs that vary by nation, product or industry. Retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods have been imposed by, among others, China, Canada and the European Union. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions between the United States and other countries in the international community. Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, investment, technological exchange, and other economic activities between major international economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. Any changes in political, trade, regulatory, and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, increased tariffs on critical raw materials, components, and finished goods could raise our production costs and disrupt our supply chain, which could adversely affect our clinical development activities.
If these or similar policy changes continue or expand, we may face increased costs. Although we cannot predict the full extent of these impacts, any prolonged disruption could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information.
Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements
