SAb Biotherapeutics, Inc. and subsidiaries
Notes to condensed consolidated FINANCIAL statements (Unaudited)
(1) Nature of Business
SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SAB” or “SAB Biotherapeutics”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of human polyclonal immunotherapeutic antibodies, or human immunoglobulins (“hIgG”), to address immune system disorders and infectious diseases. The Company’s antibodies are both target-specific and polyclonal, meaning they are comprised of multiple hIgGs and can bind to multiple sites on specific immunogens, making them ideally suited to address the complexities associated with many immune-mediated disorders. The Company’s lead candidate, SAB-142 is a human anti-thymocyte globulin (“ATG”) focused on preventing or delaying the progression of type 1 diabetes (“T1D”).
Australian Research and Development Tax Credit
In June 2023, the Company formed a new subsidiary in Australia, SAB BIO PTY LTD, a proprietary limited company (“SAB Australia”), primarily to conduct preclinical and clinical activities for product candidates. SAB Australia’s research and development activities qualify for the Australian government’s tax credit program, which provides a

Based on the Company’s current level of operating expenses, existing resources will be sufficient to cover operating cash needs through the twelve months following the date of this report. In the future, the Company may seek additional funding through a combination of equity or debt financings, or other third-party financing, collaborative or other funding arrangements. Should the Company seek additional financing from outside sources, the Company may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, the Company may be required to scale back or discontinue the advancement of product candidates, reduce headcount, liquidate assets, file for bankruptcy, reorganize, merge with another entity, or cease operations.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements is set forth below.
6
Basis of presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial statements. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management without audit and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations and other comprehensive loss and consolidated cash flows, for the periods indicated, have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of operating results that may be achieved over the course of the full year.
Emerging growth company status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, SAB Sciences, Inc., Diversity Therapeutics, Inc., SAB LLC, SAB Capra, LLC, Aurochs, LLC, and SAB Australia. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Significant risks and uncertainties
The Company’s operations are subject to a number of factors that can affect its operating results and financial condition. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the results of research and development efforts, clinical trial activities of the Company’s product candidates, the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval to market its product candidates, competition from products manufactured and sold or being developed by other companies, and the Company’s ability to raise capital.
The Company currently has no commercially approved products and there can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully commercialized. Developing and commercializing a product requires significant time and capital and is subject to regulatory review and approval as well as competition from other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change and is dependent upon the continued services of its employees and obtaining and protecting intellectual property.
7
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements. The Company has used significant estimates in its determination of stock-based compensation assumptions, determination of the fair value of the Private Placement Warrant liabilities, determination of the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) used in the calculation of the Company’s right of use assets and lease liabilities, estimation of clinical and other accruals and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Actual amounts realized may differ from these estimates.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell 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. The following fair value hierarchy classifies the inputs to valuation techniques that would be used to measure fair value into one of three levels:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
Certain of the Company’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of their maturities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
The Company accounts for warrants to purchase its common stock par value of $
Deferred Issuance Costs
The Company capitalizes certain legal, professional accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity financings as deferred issuance costs until such financings are consummated. After consummation of the equity financing, these costs are recorded in shareholders’ equity as a reduction of additional paid-in capital generated as a result of the issuance.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. Cash equivalents consist primarily of exchange-traded money market funds.
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or the issuers of these investments to the extent the amounts on deposit or invested are in excess of amounts that are insured.
Short-term investments
The Company accounts for short-term investments in accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each reporting period.
At June 30, 2025, the Company’s short-term investments consisted of investments in exchange traded mutual funds. The Company classifies these securities as current. The Company considers all of its securities for which there is a determinable fair market value, and there are no restrictions on the Company’s ability to sell within the next twelve months, as available-for-sale securities.
The Company recognizes the change in fair value of available-for-sale equity securities within other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and available-for-sale debt securities are measured at fair value with
8
unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The Company reviews its investments at each reporting date to identify and evaluate whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of available-for-sale debt securities is due to credit-related factors and determines if such unrealized losses are the result of credit losses that require impairment. The Company records an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities when a decline in fair value is determined to be credit-related, rather than recording a direct write-down of the investment's amortized cost. Factors considered in determining whether an unrealized loss is the result credit-related factors include the extent to which the fair value is less than the cost basis, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, any historical failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments, any adverse legal or regulatory events affecting the issuer or issuer’s industry, any significant deterioration in economic condition and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
The Company did
Concentration of credit risk
The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalent balances in the form of business checking accounts and money market accounts, the balances of which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Although the Company currently believes that the financial institutions with whom it does business will be able to fulfill their commitments to the Company, there is no assurance that those institutions will be able to continue to do so. The Company has not experienced any credit losses associated with its balances in such accounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Lease liabilities and right-of-use assets
The Company is party to certain contractual arrangements for equipment, lab space, and an animal facility, which meet the definition of leases under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). In accordance with ASC 842, the Company recorded right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities for the present value of the lease payments over the lease terms. The Company’s IBR was used in the calculation of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
The Company elected not to apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term leases, which are deemed to be leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Instead, the Company recognized lease payments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable payments in the period in which the obligation for these payments was incurred. The Company elected this policy for all classes of underlying assets.
Research and development expenses
Expenses incurred in connection with research and development activities are expensed as incurred. These include licensing fees to use certain technology in the Company’s research and development projects, fees paid to consultants and various entities that perform certain research and testing on behalf of the Company, and expenses related to animal care, research-use equipment depreciation, salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation granted to employees in research and development functions.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had contracts with multiple contract research organizations (“CRO”) to complete studies as part of research grant agreements. These costs include upfront, milestone and monthly expenses as well as reimbursement for pass through costs. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred except when the Company is accounting for nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services to be used in future research and development activities. In these cases, these payments are capitalized at the time of payment and expensed in the period the research and development activity is performed. As actual costs become known, the Company will adjust the accrual; such changes in estimate may result in material changes in the Company’s clinical study accrual, which could also materially affect reported results of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no material adjustments to the Company’s prior period estimates of accrued expenses for clinical trials.

Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company records property, plant, and equipment at cost less depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated using straight-line methods over the following estimated useful lives:
Animal facility equipment |
|
Laboratory equipment |
|
Leasehold improvements |
|
Office furniture and equipment |
|
Vehicles |
Repairs and maintenance expenses are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets, including the related useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. If necessary, the Company compares the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows to the related asset’s carrying value to determine whether there has been an impairment. If an asset is considered impaired, the asset is written down to fair value, which is based either on discounted cash flows or appraised values in the period the impairment becomes known. The Company believes that long-lived assets are recoverable, and
Stock-based compensation
FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation– Stock Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee and non-employee services are acquired. The Company recognizes compensation cost relating to stock-based payment transactions using a fair-value measurement method, which requires all stock-based payments to employees, directors, and non-employee consultants, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in operating results as compensation expense based on fair value over the requisite service period of the awards. The Company determines the fair value of common stock based on the closing market price at closing on the date of the grant.
In determining the fair value of stock-based awards, the Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which uses both historical and current market data to estimate fair value. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model incorporates various assumptions, such as the value of the underlying common stock, the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected dividend yield, and expected life of the options. For awards with performance-based vesting criteria, the Company estimates the probability of achievement of the performance criteria and recognizes compensation expense related to those awards expected to vest. No awards may have a term in excess of
Income taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods when the temporary differences will affect taxable income. When necessary, deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, to reflect realizable value, and all deferred tax balances are reported as long-term on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accruals are maintained for uncertain tax positions, as necessary.
The Company uses a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The Company has elected to treat interest and penalties related to income taxes, to the extent they arise, as a component of income taxes.
Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenue is primarily generated through grants from government and other (non-government) organizations.
Grant revenue is recognized during the period that the research and development services occur, as qualifying expenses are incurred or conditions of the grants are met. Deferred grant income represents grant proceeds received by the Company prior to the period in which the research and development services occur, as qualifying expenses are incurred, or conditions of the grants are met. The Company concluded that payments received under these grants represent conditional, nonreciprocal contributions, as described in ASC 958, Not-for-Profit Entities, and that the grants are not within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as
10
Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions
Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiary are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Operating results of the Company's foreign subsidiary are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Translation adjustments have no effect on net loss and are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Comprehensive income (loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes net loss as well as other changes in stockholders’ equity that result from transactions and economic events other than those with stockholders. The components of comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 consist of net loss, foreign currency translation adjustments from its subsidiaries not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings, investigations and claims generally incidental to its normal business activities. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company accrues for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Earnings per share
In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”), basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the diluted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding for the period including potential dilutive common shares such as stock options.
Segment reporting
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company’s business activities are organized into
Australian Research and Development Tax Credit
The Company recognizes other income from Australian research and development incentives when there is reasonable assurance that the income will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred, and the consideration can be reliably measured. The research and development incentive is one of the key elements of the Australian Government’s support for Australia’s innovation system and is supported by legislative law primarily in the form of the Australian Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, as long as eligibility criteria are met. Under the program, a percentage of eligible research and development expenses incurred by the Company through its subsidiary in Australia are reimbursed.
Management has assessed the Company’s research and development activities and expenditures to determine which activities and expenditures are likely to be eligible under the research and development incentive regime described above. At each period end, management estimates the refundable tax offset available to the Company based on available information at the time and it is included in other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
(3) New accounting standards
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220)”. ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure in the notes to financial statements of specified information
11
about certain expenses such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation and other expenses which are presented in the face of the income statement within continuing operations. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

(5) Earnings per share
Since the Company reported a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, it was required by ASC 260 to use basic weighted-average shares outstanding when calculating diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, as the potential dilutive securities are anti-dilutive.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include stock options, restricted stock awards, common stock warrants, earnout shares, and contingently issuable earnout shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same.

Insurance Financing Note
We obtained financing for certain Director & Officer liability insurance policy premiums. In 2024, we entered into an agreement that assigned to AFCO Direct (the “Lender”) a first priority lien on and security interest in the financed policies and any additional premium required in the financed policies including (a) all returned or unearned premiums, (b) all additional cash contributions or collateral amounts assessed by the insurance companies in relation to the financed policies and financed by Lender, (c) any credits generated by the financed policies, (d) dividend payments, and (e) loss payments which reduce unearned premiums. If any circumstances exist in which premiums related to any Financed Policy could become fully earned in the event of loss, Lender shall be named a loss-payee with respect to such policy.

Earnout Shares
On October 22, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the business combination (the “Business Combination”) contemplated by the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of June 21, 2021, as amended on August 12, 2021, made by and among Big Cypress Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“BCYP”), Big Cypress Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), the Company, and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the SAB Stockholders (the “Business Combination Agreement ”). Upon closing of the Business Combination, Merger Sub merged with SAB Biotherapeutics, with SAB Biotherapeutics as the surviving company of the merger. Upon closing of the Business Combination, BCYP changed its name to “SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc.”.
Additionally, the Business Combination Agreement included an earnout provision whereby the shareholders of SAB Biotherapeutics shall be entitled to receive additional consideration (“Earnout Shares”) if the Company meets certain Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) thresholds, or a change in control with a per share price exceeding the VWAP thresholds within a five-year period immediately following the Closing.
The Earnout Shares shall be released in four equal increments as follows:

On August 5, 2014, the Company approved a stock option grant plan (the “2014 Equity Incentive Plan”) for employees, directors, and non-employee consultants, which provides for the issuance of options to purchase common stock. As of June 30, 2025, there were

The Company offers an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) that allows eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock at a discount of up to
The expected term of the stock options was estimated using the “simplified” method, as defined by the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment. The volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatilities for industry peer companies, as the Company does not have sufficient trading history for its common stock. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments whose term was consistent with the expected term of the options. The dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company has assumed no dividend yield for purposes of estimating the fair value of the options.

(12) Warrants
Public Warrants
Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption:
If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” If management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.
Each warrant will expire on the fifth anniversary of the Business Combination, which occurred on October 22, 2021. As a result, all outstanding warrants will expire on October 22, 2026, unless earlier exercised or redeemed in accordance with their terms. Once expired, the warrants will have no further value and will no longer be exercisable.
Private Placement Warrants
The Private Placement Warrants and the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants were not transferable, assignable or saleable until after the completion of the Company's merger transaction in 2021. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and will be non-redeemable as long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
Each warrant will expire on the fifth anniversary of the Business Combination, which occurred on October 22, 2021. As a result, all outstanding warrants will expire on October 22, 2026, unless earlier exercised or redeemed in accordance with their terms. Once expired, the warrants will have no further value and will no longer be exercisable.

Presentation and Valuation of the Warrants — Liability Classified Warrants
Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants
The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity and were presented within warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The initial fair value of the warrant liabilities was measured at fair value at the Closing Date, and changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities were presented within changes in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
On the Closing Date, the Company established the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants utilizing both the Black-Scholes Merton formula and a Monte Carlo Simulation (the “MCS”) analysis. Specifically, the Company considered an MCS to derive the implied volatility in the publicly-listed price of the Public Warrants. The Company then considered this implied volatility in selecting the volatility for the application of a Black-Scholes Merton model for the Private Placement Warrants. The Company determined the fair value of the Public Warrants by reference to the quoted market price.
The Public Warrants were classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement, due to the use of the quoted market price, and the Private Placement Warrants held privately by assignees of Big Cypress Holdings LLC, were classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement, due to the use of unobservable inputs. See Note 13, Fair Value Measurements, for changes in fair value of the Private Placement Warrants.
The key inputs into the valuations as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

Preferred Warrants
Should the Company enter into or be party to a fundamental transaction, the Company will be required to purchase all outstanding Warrants from the holders by paying cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of each Preferred Warrant. As a result, the Preferred Warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity and were presented within warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The initial fair value of the warrant liabilities was measured at fair value at the Closing Date, and changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities were presented within changes in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
The Company established the fair value of the Preferred Warrants utilizing the Black-Scholes Merton formula.
All tranches of the Preferred Warrants were classified as Level 3 fair value measurements, due to the use of unobservable inputs. See Note 13, Fair Value Measurements, for changes in fair value of the Preferred Warrants.

(13) Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell 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. The following fair value hierarchy classifies the inputs to valuation techniques that would be used to measure fair value into one of three levels:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
The following tables present information about the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Company Overview
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing human, multi-specific, high-potency immunoglobulins (IgGs), without the need for human donors or convalescent plasma, to treat and prevent autoimmune disorders. Our programs are based on mechanisms of action that have achieved proof-of-concept in clinical trials in indications with significant unmet medical needs. We are focused on developing product candidates for disease targets where a differentiated approach has the greatest potential to be either first-in-class against novel targets or best-in-class against complex targets to treat diseases, including type 1 diabetes (T1D) and other autoimmune disorders. Our internally discovered antibodies are multi-specific, meaning they are comprised of multiple human IgG (hIgG) and can bind to multiple sites on targeted immunogens, making them ideally suited to address the complexities associated with many immune-mediated disorders.
Our proprietary platform holds the potential to generate additional novel therapeutic candidates to expand our pipeline, utilizing the human immune response to generate the optimal repertoire of hIgG for drug targets of interest. We believe it is the only technology capable of producing disease-targeted, hIgG in large quantities without the need for human plasma donors. We have optimized genetic engineering in the development of transchromosomic cattle, or Tc Bovine, which produce hIgG. Our engineering of our production platform drives IgG1 production across our pipeline. In addition, this differentiated approach using polyclonal antibodies has no biosimilar pathway, which provides a significant barrier to competitive polyclonal approaches.
SAB-142: Our Lead Product Candidate
Our wholly owned lead product candidate, SAB-142 is a human anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) focused on preventing or delaying the progression of T1D. SAB-142 is a first-in-class, human, multi-target ATG treatment designed to provide superior efficacy and safety in delaying the onset or progression of T1D. SAB-142 is expected to reduce autoimmune β-cell destruction and delay progression or onset of T1D in patients with Stage 3 or Stage 2 T1D, respectively. The mechanism of action of SAB-142 has been clinically validated in numerous clinical trials with a rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG). In addition, data from more than 700 human subjects treated
27
with antibodies produced by our platform support expectation of a zero-serum sickness rate and zero incidence of neutralizing anti-drug antibodies (ADA) within the upcoming SAB-142 clinical trials.
We received an Investigational New Drug (IND) clearance from the FDA in May 2024 and announced positive topline data from our Phase 1 clinical trial of SAB-142 in January 2025. Next, we intend to advance SAB-142 into a Phase 2b clinical trial called the SAFEGUARD study. On May 29, 2025, the Company held a constructive Type B meeting with the FDA. The meeting followed positive topline data from a Phase 1 single-ascending dose trial in healthy volunteers for SAB-142. The primary discussion centered on questions related to all aspects of SAB-142’s Phase 2b SAFEGUARD clinical trial design and chemistry, manufacturing, and controls processes. The FDA provided clear, constructive, and actionable guidance during the discussion leading to alignment on the design and advancement of our Phase 2b SAFEGUARD study. SAB confirmed its intent with the FDA to utilize the data from this study as supportive evidence for future regulatory approval.
Other Immunology Indications
T- and B-cells are multifunctional lymphocytes whose dysregulation was shown to have a central role in the pathogenesis of more than 80 autoimmune diseases, including T1D, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis (MS) and celiac disease. The therapeutic success to date of lymphocyte- mediating therapies in variety of autoimmune diseases and our in vivo and in vitro pre-clinical and Phase 1 work from SAB-142 in T1D will support direct progression into Phase 2 clinical trials in other autoimmune indications.
Since the commencement of our operations, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to research and development activities, organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, establishing and maintaining our intellectual property portfolio, conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials and providing general and administrative support for these operations.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Government grants
There was no revenue recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Total revenue recognized from government grants was approximately $0.3 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The Company had various grants from the US Department of Defense that terminated in 2022. The Company satisfied all obligations under these arrangements as of December 31, 2024.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses primarily consist of salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, stock-based compensation, laboratory supplies and materials for employees and contractors engaged in research and product development, licensing fees to use certain technology in our research and development projects, fees paid to consultants and various entities that perform certain research and testing on our behalf. Research and development expenses are tracked by target/project code. Indirect general and administrative costs are allocated based upon a percentage of direct costs. We expense all research and development costs in the period in which they are incurred.
Research and development activities consist of discovery research for our platform development and the indications we are working on. For SAB-142, Avance Clinical PTY, Ltd (“Avance”), acts as the contract research organization (“CRO”) overseeing our Phase 1 safety study. This study started in December 2023 and the terms of that agreement are subject to confidentiality and the status of the agreement is that it is current. Pursuant to an agreement between the Company and Fortrea Holdings Inc. (“Fortrea”). Fortrea will act as the CRO overseeing our Phase 2b efficacy and safety study for SAB-142. The study is expected to start in December 2025.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we continued to incur costs to advance our progress towards commercialization of SAB-142. We expect to continue to incur substantial research and development expenses as we conduct discovery research to enhance our platform and work on our indications. We expect to hire additional employees and continue research and development and manufacturing activities. As a result, we expect that our research and development expenses will continue to increase in future periods and vary from period to period.
Major components within our research and development expenses are salaries and benefits (laboratory & animal care), laboratory supplies, animal care, contract manufacturing, clinical trial expense, outside laboratory services, project consulting, and facility expense.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation costs for employees in our executive, accounting and finance, project management, corporate development, office administration, legal and human resources functions as well as professional services fees, such as consulting, audit, tax and legal fees, general corporate costs and allocated overhead expenses. General and administrative expenses also include rent and facilities expenses allocated based upon total direct costs. We anticipate that general and administrative expenses will rise as we expand our workforce and invest in the advancement of our lead therapeutic candidate in preparation for potential commercialization. Additionally, as our operations grow in complexity and we progress toward commercialization, we may incur higher costs related to accounting, audit, legal, regulatory compliance, director and officer insurance, and investor relations. We expect these expenses to vary from period to period in absolute terms and as a percentage of revenue.

Revenue decreased by $0.3 million, or 100.0%, in the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, due to the JPEO Rapid Response Contract Termination. There was no revenue recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Included in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024, are closeout activities and charges of $0.3 million due to outside services for laboratory supply disposal.

Revenue decreased by $1.2 million, or 100.0%, in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to the JPEO Rapid Response Contract Termination. There was no revenue recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Included in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024, are closeout activities and charges of $1.2 million due to outside services for laboratory supply disposal.
As a result of the JPEO Rapid Response Contract Termination, we do not expect to generate revenues during the development phase of our primary pipeline development target of Type 1 diabetes, which remains independently financed as we explore potential partnerships, co-development opportunities, and licensing arrangements.

Research and development expenses increased by $0.2 million, or 2.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits (year-over-year increase of $0.8 million, 33.0%) and clinical trial costs (year-over-year increase of $1.2 million, 204.3%), offset by decreases in outside lab services (year-over-year decrease of $1.2 million, 85.8%), overhead (year-over-year decrease of $0.3 million, 16.7%), animal care (year-over-year decrease of $0.1 million, 62.4%), and laboratory supplies (year-over-year decrease of $0.2 million, 71.8%). We expect Research and Development expenses to increase in future years as we advance our lead therapeutic candidate through Phase 2 clinical trials and invest in the necessary foundation to support potential commercialization.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.2 million, or 27.2%, in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to salaries and benefits (year-over-year decrease of $0.9 million, 22.6%), insurance costs (year-over-year decrease of $0.2 million, 22.6%) and other immaterial administrative support fees relating to IT and human resources (year-over-year decrease of $1.2 million, 42.5%) offset by an increase in project consulting (year-over-year decrease of $0.1 million, 15.6%).
While administrative support and non-capitalized financing costs declined as of June 30, 2025, as compared to June 30, 2024, we anticipate that general and administrative expenses will rise as we expand our workforce and invest in the advancement of our lead therapeutic candidate in preparation for potential commercialization. Additionally, as our operations grow in complexity and we progress toward commercialization, we may incur higher costs related to accounting, audit, legal, regulatory compliance, director and officer insurance, and investor relations.

Interest income decreased by $0.8 million, or (91.28)%, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to interest earned on our investments in debt securities, and lower interest earning cash, and cash equivalent balances.
Future interest income will be largely dependent on our total liquid cash and investment balances, which are in turn influenced by our capital resources and future fundraising activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has experienced net losses, negative cash flows from operations and, as of June 30, 2025, had an accumulated deficit of $139.5 million. The Company anticipates that it will continue to generate losses for the foreseeable future, and expects the losses to increase as the Company continues the development of, or seeks regulatory approvals for product candidates, and begins commercialization of products. As a result, the Company will require additional capital to fund operations in order to support long-term plans.
On July 21, 2025, the Company entered into the July 2025 Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in the Series B Offering, (i) 1,000,000 Series B Shares, convertible into 100,000,000 Series B Conversion Shares, (ii) the Release Date Warrants to purchase up to 500,000 the Release Date Warrant Shares, and (iii) the Enrollment Date Warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 Release Date Warrant Shares. The Company generated approximately $175 million in gross proceeds, before fees and expenses, from the Series B Offering. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock, subject to stockholder approval. The net proceeds are intended to fund the Phase 2b SAFEGUARD study of SAB-142 and for general corporate purposes.
See Note20, Subsequent Events, in our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information about the Series B Offering.
Based on the Company’s current level of operating expenses, existing resources will be sufficient to cover operating cash needs through the twelve months following the date of this report. In the future, the Company may seek additional funding through a combination of equity or debt financings, or other third-party financing, collaborative or other funding arrangements. Should the Company seek additional financing from outside sources, the Company may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, the Company may be required to scale back or discontinue the advancement of product candidates, reduce headcount, liquidate assets, file for bankruptcy, reorganize, merge with another entity, or cease operations.
Sources of Liquidity
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily from revenue in the form of government grants and from equity financings.
Notes payable
Insurance Financing Note
We obtained financing for certain Director & Officer liability insurance policy premiums. In 2024, we entered into an agreement that assigned to AFCO Direct (the “Lender”) a first priority lien on and security interest in the financed policies and any additional
33
premium required in the financed policies including (a) all returned or unearned premiums, (b) all additional cash contributions or collateral amounts assessed by the insurance companies in relation to the financed policies and financed by Lender, (c) any credits generated by the financed policies, (d) dividend payments, and (e) loss payments which reduce unearned premiums. If any circumstances exist in which premiums related to any Financed Policy could become fully earned in the event of loss, Lender shall be named a loss-payee with respect to such policy.
The total premiums, taxes, and fees financed under the current insurance financing agreement are approximately $516 thousand, for AFCO Direct with an annual interest rate of 7.37%. In consideration of the premium payment by the Lender to the insurance companies or the Agent or Broker (as defined in the agreement with the Lender), we unconditionally promise to pay the Lender the amount financed plus interest and other charges permitted under the agreement.
We did not have an insurance financing note payable at June 30, 2025. At December 31, 2024, we recognized approximately $276 thousand, as an insurance financing note payable in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We incurred $1 thousand and $6 thousand of interest expense related to the insurance financing note for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $4 thousand and $12 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Our current insurance financing agreement was repaid through installment payments, with the final payment on June 22, 2025.
In 2023, we entered into an agreement with First Insurance Funding, which assigned them a first-priority lien on the security interest in the financed policies and associated rights. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we made payments on the prior insurance financing agreement with First Insurance Funding with an original principal balance of $765 thousand and an annual interest rate of 7.96%. This prior agreement, structured with similar lien and collateral terms, was fully repaid upon the final installment on September 22, 2024
Please refer to Note 9, Notes Payable, in our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on our debt.
Shelf Registration Statement
On May 3, 2023, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-271768) (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), declared effective on May 17, 2025 by the SEC, which includes a base prospectus that allows us to offer and sell, from time to time, in one or more offerings, common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights or units up to an aggregate public offering price of $50.0 million. The Shelf Registration Statement is intended to preserve our flexibility to raise capital from time to time, if and when needed. On January 26, 2024, we entered into a Controlled Equity Offering℠ Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), relating to shares of our common stock registered for sale under the Shelf Registration Statement. In accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $20.0 million from time to time through Cantor, acting as our sales agent.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities decreased by $3.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in cash used in operating activities related to change in our operating assets and liabilities of $4.5 million, offset by an increase in our net loss adjusted for non-cash items of $1.0 million. Year-over-year changes in cash used by operating activities is explained by shifts in the working capital balances as we continue to invest in the development of our lead product candidate, SAB-142.
Investing Activities
Net cash used by investing activities decreased by $30.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to decreased purchases of short-term investments. Capital expenditures were minimal through the
34
six months ended June 30, 2025. We do not anticipate a significant increase in capital asset purchases in the near term, as our investment focus remains on advancing our lead therapeutic candidate through Phase 2 clinical trials.
Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities decreased by $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the decrease in payments on the insurance financing note.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with third parties, including contract research organizations (“CRO”).
As of June 30, 2025, there were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to our commitments and contractual obligations.
Income Taxes
Due to current and prior year losses we do not expect to have any Income Tax Provision.
We continue to record a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. The valuation increased by approximately $4.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. We have not recognized any reserves for uncertain tax positions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have, for the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could therefore differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our most critical accounting estimates and assumptions are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025 and our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on May 9, 2025. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2025. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
JOBS Act Accounting Election
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act, enacted in April 2012, permits an “emerging growth company” such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have and intend to continue to take advantage of all of the reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards, for an emerging growth company under Section 107 of the JOBS Act.
We may use these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering occurred. However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenue exceeds $1.235 billion, or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five-year period.
35
We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in this Form 10-Q and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to our shareholders may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock.
The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, until those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. Until the date that we are no longer an emerging growth company or affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the exemption provided by Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act upon issuance of a new or revised accounting standard that applies to our financial statements and that has a different effective date for public and private companies, we will disclose the date on which we will adopt the recently issued accounting standard.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company recognized no revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. We received 100% of our total revenue through grants from government organizations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. To date, no receivables have been written off.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents, U.S. treasury securities, investments in exchange traded mutual funds, and money market funds of $5.7 million and $20.8 million, respectively, all of which was maintained in bank accounts, money market funds, mutual funds, and U.S. treasury securities. Our primary exposure to market risk is to interest income volatility, which is affected by changes in the general level of interest rates. A 10% change in the market interest rates would not have a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Foreign Currency Risk
We conduct materially all of our business in U.S. dollars. We do not have any foreign currency or other derivative financial instruments. Our primary exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates relates mainly to SAB Australia. We do not currently hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our liabilities denominated in foreign currencies were not material. Accordingly, we do not believe a 10% increase or decrease in current exchange rates would have a material effect on our financial results.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. 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 the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management recognizes that any 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 as of June 30, 2025, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are not currently a party to any material litigation, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us that we believe would materially affect our business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. Participants in our industry face frequent claims and litigation, including securities litigation, claims regarding patent and other intellectual property rights, and other liability claims. As a result, we may be involved in various legal proceedings from time to time in the future.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our business is subject to various risks, including those described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025, which we strongly encourage you to review (the “2024 Annual Report”). Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our 2024 Annual Report.
We are obligated to file a registration statement to register for resale the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock, including shares of Series B Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants. The sale of such underlying shares of common stock would represent the sale of a significant number of our securities in the public market, and the perception that such sales may occur, may cause the market price of our securities to decline significantly.
In connection with the Series B Offering, we are obligated to file a registration statement to register for sale all shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock, including shares of Series B Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Enrollment Date Warrants and Release Date Warrants. If all shares of Series B Preferred Stock are converted, it would represent 2,690% of total common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2025. The registration of these securities, the sale of these securities in the public market, or the perception that holders of a large number of securities intend to sell their securities, could reduce the market price of our common stock and public warrants. Although each stockholder for whom the shares of common stock to be registered for resale hereunder is not permitted to convert their shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of common stock to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, such holder would (together with such holder’s affiliates and related parties) beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% at the election of the holder) of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion, the market price of our common stock could decline if the holders of such shares sell them over time or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.
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 Plans
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, none of the Company’s directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act)
