We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make.

1. Nature of Business and Operations and Recent Events

Nature of Business and Operations

The terms "Summit" and the "Company" refer to Summit Therapeutics Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of patient-, physician-, caregiver- and societal-friendly medicinal therapies intended to improve quality of life, increase potential duration of life, and resolve serious unmet healthcare needs. The Company's novel pipeline of product candidates is designed with the goal to become the patient-friendly, new-era standard-of-care medicines. The Company's lead product candidate, ridinilazole, is a novel first-in-class drug that is engaged in a global Phase III clinical trial program. On December 20, 2021, the Company announced topline results for the Phase III Ri-CoDIFy study evaluating ridinilazole for treating patients suffering from Clostridioides difficile infection, also known as C. difficile infection, or CDI. The Company's second product candidate, SMT-738, was announced in May 2021 for combating multidrug resistant infections, specifically carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (“CRE”) infections. SMT-738 is the first of a novel class of precision antibiotics that has entered into preclinical development. The Company has two additional discovery-phase assets in its pipeline with undisclosed targets in the therapeutic area of oncology. The Company intends to expand its pipeline portfolio by developing further new era product offerings in the therapeutic area of oncology and/or product offerings that are designed to work in harmony with the human gut microbiome.

Recent Events

On July 27, 2022, the Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Special Meeting") whereby the following matters were submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders at the Special Meeting: (i) an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated September 18, 2020, to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock by 100,000,000 (from 250,000,000 to 350,000,000); and (ii) an amendment to the Summit Therapeutics Inc. 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable under the Plan by 8,000,000 shares.

Each of the matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders at the Special Meeting was approved by the requisite vote of the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors.

2. Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements are not included herein. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim financial data as of June 30, 2022, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet presented at December 31, 2021 has been derived from the consolidated audited financial statement as of that date. The results of the period are not necessarily indicative of full year results or any other interim period. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of the Company which are included in the Summit Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2022. The financial results of the Company's activities are reported in United States Dollars.

The progression of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and its enduring impact on the Company's business remains uncertain. Management believes the estimates and assumptions underlying its unaudited interim financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of June 30, 2022, however, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company's financial results for the remainder of 2022 and beyond will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued research and development expenses, stock-based compensation, intangible assets, goodwill, other long-lived assets and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

3. Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2021-10, " Government Assistance (Topic 832)." This ASU increases the transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity's accounting for the assistance, and (3) the effect of the assistance on an entity's financial statements as diversity currently exists in the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of government assistance received by business entities because of the lack of specific authoritative guidance in U.S. GAAP. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. Early application of this ASU is permitted. The Company adopted and applied the amendments of this ASU to its disclosures during the fourth quarter of 2021 and the application of this ASU did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers." This ASU improves the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency relating to: 1) recognition of an acquired contract liability and 2) payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. The amendments in this ASU require acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination, whereas current U.S. GAAP requires that the acquirer measure such assets and liabilities at fair value on the acquisition date. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company will apply this ASU on a prospective basis for business combinations once this ASU is effective and at that time will be able to determine the potential impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2021, the FASB issued AS No. 2021-04, "Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Issuer's Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options." This ASU provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted this ASU during the first quarter of 2022 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

4. Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $16,771 and $38,168, respectively, and cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $38,218. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $337,716, cash of $57,335, current and long-term research and development tax credits of $16,455 and accounts receivable of $238. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. Until the Company can generate substantial revenue and achieve profitability, the Company will need to raise additional capital to fund its ongoing operations and capital needs.

On June 22, 2022, the Company announced a rights offering for its existing shareholders to participate in the purchase of additional shares of its common stock. The rights offering commenced on July 18, 2022, and the associated subscription rights expired on August 8, 2022. Aggregate gross proceeds from the rights offering were $100,000 from the sale of approximately 103,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.97 per share. Issuance costs were approximately $100. In connection with the closing of the rights offering, the 2022 Note, which is defined in Note 11, matured and became due and the Company repaid all principal and accrued interest thereunder using a portion of the proceeds from this rights offering on August 10, 2022. Based on the Company's current funding arrangements and financial resources as of June 30, 2022, and after considering net proceeds from the rights offering, and the repayment of the 2022 Note, the Company has the ability to fund its operating costs and working capital needs for more than twelve months from the date of issuance on this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Depending on the Company's future liquidity needs, it may need to seek additional funding in the future.

The Company continues to evaluate options to further finance its cash needs for its product candidates through a combination of some, or all, of the following: equity and debt offerings, collaborations, strategic alliances, grants and clinical trial support from government entities, philanthropic, non-government and not-for-profit organizations. There is no assurance, however, that additional financing will be available when needed or that management of the Company will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain funding when required in the future, the Company could be required to delay, reduce, or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion, or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of the business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

5. Segment Reporting

The Company's chief operating decision makers (the "CODM function"), which are the Company's Co-CEOs, Mr. Robert W. Duggan and Dr. Maky Zanganeh, utilize financial information to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. The CODM function approves of key operating and strategic decisions, including key decisions in clinical development and clinical operating activities, entering into significant contracts, such as revenue contracts and collaboration agreements and approves the Company's consolidated operating budget. The CODM function views the Company’s operations and manages its business as a single reportable operating segment. The Company's single reportable operating segment covers the Company’s research and development activities, primarily comprising of the CDI program and antibiotic pipeline research activities. As the Company operates as one operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company operates in two geographic regions: the U.K. and the U.S. The following table summarizes the Company's long-lived assets, which include the Company's property and equipment, net and right-of-use assets by geography:

Refer to Note 7 below for further details regarding other income recognized under the BARDA contract.

Eurofarma Laboratórios S.A.

On December 21, 2017, Summit announced it had entered into an exclusive license and commercialization agreement with Eurofarma Laboratórios S.A. ("Eurofarma"), pursuant to which the Company granted Eurofarma the exclusive right to commercialize ridinilazole in specified countries in South America, Central America and the Caribbean. The Company has retained commercialization rights in the rest of the world.

Under the terms of the license and commercialization agreement with Eurofarma, the Company received an upfront payment of $2,500 from Eurofarma in December 2017. In February 2020, the Company reached the first enrollment milestone and earned $1,000. In September 2021, the Company reached the second enrollment milestone and earned $1,250. The terms of the contract have been assessed under Accounting Standards Codification 606 and currently only the upfront payment and the

Summit Therapeutics Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

first two enrollment milestone payments are included in the transaction price. These payments are initially recorded as deferred revenue in the balance sheet and are recognized as revenue ratably over the performance period.

Revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 related to the upfront payment and the first two enrollment milestones earned in accordance with the Company's revenue recognition policy. Revenue recognized during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 related to the upfront payment and the first enrollment milestone earned in accordance with the Company's revenue recognition policy. The revenue is being recognized ratably over the performance period to reflect the transfer of control to the customer occurring over the time period that the research and development services are provided by the Company. This output method is, in management’s judgment, the best measure of progress towards satisfying the performance obligation. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the current contract liability relating to the Eurofarma contract was $227 and $756, respectively, and was recorded in current deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In addition, the Company could receive an additional $1,500 in development milestones upon the achievement of staged patient enrollment targets in the licensed territory in the combined Phase III clinical trial of ridinilazole. The Company is eligible to receive a further $1,000 in development milestones, $2,400 in commercial milestones and up to $18,000 in sales milestones when cumulative net sales equal or exceed $100,000 in the Eurofarma licensed territory. Each subsequent achievement of an additional $100,000 in cumulative net sales will result in the Company receiving additional milestone payments, which, when combined with anticipated product supply transfer payments from Eurofarma paid to the Company in connection with a commercial supply agreement to be entered into between the two parties, will provide payments estimated to range from a mid-teens to high-teens percentage of cumulative net sales in the Eurofarma licensed territory. The Company estimates such product supply transfer payments from Eurofarma will range from a high single-digit to low double-digit percentage of cumulative net sales in the licensed territory.

7. Other Operating Income

The following table sets forth the components of other operating income by category:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
Other operating income by category:	2022		2021		2022		2021
Funding income from BARDA (as defined below)	$	1,251	$	1,560	$	3,885	$	3,330
Research and development tax credits	810		4,204		2,506		7,883
Grant income from CARB-X (as defined below)	953		356		1,430		356
	$	3,014	$	6,120	$	7,821	$	11,569

BARDA (as defined below)

In September 2017, the Company was awarded a funding contract from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority ("BARDA"), part of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at the United States Department of Health and Human Services, in support of the Company's Ri-CoDIFy clinical trials and clinical development of of ridinilazole.

The awarded contract was originally worth up to $62,000. In June 2019 and again in January 2020, BARDA increased the value of the contract such that it is now worth up to $72,500 and brought the total amount of committed funding to $62,400.

The remaining federal government funding was dependent on BARDA in its sole discretion exercising the final independent option work segment, upon the achievement by the Company of certain agreed-upon milestones for ridinilazole. This option work segment was never exercised by BARDA. The contract ran through April 2022 and was extended through December 2022 as a no cost contract, solely to close out open activities. As of June 30, 2022, based on translation of historical foreign currency amounts in the period received and recognized, an aggregate of $58,036 of the total committed BARDA funding had been received and the Company has recognized $54,210 of cumulative income since contract inception.

Research and development tax credits

Income from research and development ("R&D") tax credits, consists of R&D tax credits received in the U.K. The Company benefits from two U.K. R&D tax credit cash rebate regimes: Small and Medium Enterprise Program ("SME Program") and the Research and Development Expenditure Credit Program ("RDEC Program"). Qualifying expenditures largely comprise employment costs for research staff, consumables, a proportion of relevant, permitted sub-contract costs and certain internal overhead costs incurred as part of research projects for which the Company does not receive income. Tax credits related to the SME Program and RDEC Program are recorded as other operating income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Under both schemes, the Company receives cash payments that are not dependent on the Company’s pre-tax net income levels.

Based on criteria established by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, a portion of expenditures being carried out in relation to the Company's pipeline research and development activities are eligible for the SME regime.

As of June 30, 2022, the current and non-current research and development tax credit receivable was $14,132 and $2,323, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the current and non-current research and development tax credit receivable was $15,695 and $0, respectively.

CARB-X (as defined below)

In May 2021, the Company announced the selection of a new preclinical candidate, SMT-738, from the DDS-04 series for development in the fight against multidrug resistant infections, specifically carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae ("CRE") infections. Simultaneously, the Company announced it had received an award from the Trustees of Boston University under the Combating Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria Biopharmaceutical Accelerator program ("CARB-X") to progress this candidate through preclinical development and Phase 1a clinical trials. The award commits initial funding of up to $4,100, with the possibility of up to another $3,700 based on the achievement of future milestones. As of June 30, 2022, $1,244 of grant funding from CARB-X has been received, $230 is in accounts receivable for amounts billed, $1,108 is unbilled and included in other current assets as an unbilled receivable and the Company has recognized $2,582 of cumulative income since contract inception. During the quarter-ended June 30, 2022, CARB-X announced changes to its funding arrangements and terms and conditions. As a result, the current arrangement concluded as of June 30, 2022, and the Company is in discussions with CARB-X to negotiate a new agreement for the remainder of the program.

8. Loss per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Net loss	$	(16,771)	$	(24,416)	$	(38,168)	$	(41,904)

Basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding	99,654,092		92,065,957		99,627,701		88,110,285
Diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding	99,654,092		92,065,957		99,627,701		88,110,285

Basic net loss per share	$	(0.17)	$	(0.27)	$	(0.38)	$	(0.48)
Diluted net loss per share	$	(0.17)	$	(0.27)	$	(0.38)	$	(0.48)

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the diluted net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including potentially dilutive common shares. Since the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share for all periods as the inclusion of all potential common share equivalents outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. Because the rights offering exercise price of $0.97 per share was less than the closing price of $1.00 per share on August 8, 2022, the expiration of the rights offering, the Company has retroactively adjusted earnings per share for the bonus element for all periods presented.

9. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the sum of the amounts assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed. The Company assigns assets acquired (including goodwill) and liabilities assumed to one or more reporting units as of the date of acquisition. Typically acquisitions related to a single reporting unit do not require the allocation of goodwill to multiple reporting units. If the products obtained in an acquisition are assigned to multiple reporting units, the goodwill is distributed to the respective reporting units as part of the purchase price allocation process.

Goodwill and purchased intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets requires significant judgment. The Company regularly monitors current business conditions and other factors including, but not limited to, adverse industry or economic trends and lower projections of profitability that may impact future operating results.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, goodwill was $1,806 and $2,009, respectively. Changes in goodwill during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are the result of foreign currency movements. As of June 30, 2022, there have been no cumulative goodwill impairments recognized.

Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, impairment charges and adjustments are summarized as follows:


	June 30, 2022						December 31, 2021
	Gross carrying amount		Accumulated amortization and impairment		Net		Gross carrying amount		Accumulated amortization and impairment		Net
Utrophin program acquired	$	4,034	$	(4,034)	$	—	$	4,487	$	(4,487)	$	—
Discuva platform acquired	12,960		(4,060)		8,900		14,416		(4,017)		10,399
Option over non-financial asset	820		(820)		—		912		(912)		—
Other patents and licenses	134		(134)		—		148		(148)		—
	$	17,948	$	(9,048)	$	8,900	$	19,963	$	(9,564)	$	10,399

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, amortization expense was $232 and $480, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, amortization expense was $257 and $512, respectively.

Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this filing, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements relating to historical matters including statements to the effect that we “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “target,” “intend” and similar expressions should be considered forward-looking statements. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the risks identified the “Risk Factors’’ section of our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, our actual results could differ materially from the results, performance or achievements expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Company Overview

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of patient-, physician-, caregiver- and societal-friendly medicinal therapies intended to improve quality of life, increase potential duration of life, and resolve serious unmet needs. Our novel pipeline of product candidates is designed with the goal to become the patient-friendly, new-era standard-of-care medicines. Our lead product candidate, ridinilazole, is a novel first-in-class drug that is engaged in a global Phase III clinical trial program. On December 20, 2021, we announced topline results for the Phase III Ri-CoDIFy study evaluating ridinilazole for treating patients suffering from Clostridioides difficile infection, also known as C. difficile infection, or CDI. Our second product candidate, SMT-738, was announced in May 2021 for combating multidrug resistant infections, specifically carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (“CRE”) infections. SMT-738 is the first of a novel class of precision antibiotics that has entered into preclinical development. We have two additional discovery-phase targets in our pipeline with undisclosed targets in the therapeutic area of oncology. We intend to expand our portfolio by developing further new era product offerings in the therapeutic area of oncology and/or product offerings that are designed to work in harmony with the human gut microbiome.

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through issuances of our common stock, payments to us under our license and commercialization agreement with Eurofarma Laboratórios SA, or Eurofarma, development funding and other assistance from government entities, philanthropic, non-government and not-for-profit organizations for our product candidates and promissory notes from related parties. In particular, we have received funding from BARDA, CARB-X, Innovate UK, Wellcome Trust and a number of not-for-profit organizations.

We have devoted substantially all of our efforts to research and development, including clinical trials. We have not completed the development of any drugs. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for at least the next few years. The net losses we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year, due to the nature and timing of our research and development activities. We expect that our research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to be significant in connection with our ongoing research and development efforts. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval of ridinilazole in the U.S. or other jurisdictions where we retain commercial rights, and if we choose to maintain those rights, we would expect to incur significant sales, marketing, distribution and outsourced manufacturing expenses, as well as ongoing research and development expenses.

Recent Events

On July 12, 2022, the Company held a Type C meeting with the US Food & Drug Administration (the “FDA”) during which we discussed certain data from the Ri-CoDIFy Phase III clinical trial with the agency. The FDA and Summit discussed a possible pathway in which to advance ridinilazole forward with the goal of achieving marketing authorization. This pathway would involve at least one additional clinical trial. Meeting minutes from the FDA were received on August 10, 2022. We are exploring this possible development pathway for ridinilazole.

cash outlay to consummate these transactions, a commitment for additional funds to be paid upon the achievement of certain pre-determined milestones, and royalties to be paid upon the potential commercialization of certain product candidates. These milestone payments, if achieved, could result in multiple payments over the course of the next several years in addition to commercial-based royalties. The exact time period of these payments and amounts to be paid cannot be known and are dependent upon final negotiated agreements and the achievement of predetermined milestone achievements so agreed.

On July 27, 2022, we held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Special Meeting") whereby the following matters were submitted to a vote of our stockholders at the Special Meeting: (i) an amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated September 18, 2020, to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock by 100,000,000 (from 250,000,000 to 350,000,000); and (ii) an amendment to the Summit Therapeutics Inc. 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the number of shares of our common stock issuable under the Plan by 8,000,000 shares.

Each of the matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders at the Special Meeting was approved by the requisite vote of the our stockholders in accordance with the recommendation of our Board of Directors.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The progression of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and its enduring impact on our business remains uncertain. There may be other material adverse impacts on our business, operations and financial condition that are unpredictable at this time, including delays in the development and regulatory approval of our product candidates and difficulties in retaining qualified personnel during the pandemic and once it subsides. The extent to which the pandemic may impact our business will depend on future developments, such as the duration of the pandemic, quarantines, travel restrictions and other measures in the United States, the United Kingdom and around the world, business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain the pandemic.

Investment in our CDI program decreased by $14.0 million and $15.4 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in clinical and manufacturing activity spend associated with the ridinilazole Phase III clinical program.

Investment in our antibiotic pipeline development activities increased by $0.8 million and $1.6 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to increased development activity spend associated with our preclinical candidate, SMT-738, from the DDS-04 series for the development in the fight against multidrug resistant infections, specifically carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae ("CRE") infections.

Other research and development costs are comprised of the following:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Other research and development costs decreased by $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a decrease of $1.2 million in stock-based compensation and a decrease of $0.3 million in compensation related costs as a result of a decrease in headcount. Other research and development costs increased by $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in the prior year primarily

due to an increase of $0.8 million in compensation related costs, excluding stock-based compensation and an increase of $0.2 million in stock-based compensation as the Company is focused on building a world-class team.

General and Administrative Expenses


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2022		2021		2022		2021
Compensation related costs, excluding stock-based compensation	$	2.7	$	2.3	$	5.3	$	4.4

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to an increase of $0.4 million in compensation related costs, excluding stock based compensation, an increase of $0.4 million in legal and professional fees and an increase of $0.2 million in stock-based compensation, as the Company is focused on building a world-class team.

General and administrative expenses increased by $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to an increase of $1.7 million in stock-based compensation, an increase of $0.9 million in compensation costs, excluding stock-based compensation and an increase of $0.7 million in legal and professional fees.

Other Operating Income


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2022		2021		2022		2021
Other operating income	$	3.0	$	6.1	$	7.8	$	11.6

Other operating income is comprised of the following:


(in millions)	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
Other operating income by category:	2022		2021		2022		2021
Funding income from BARDA	$	1.2	$	1.5	$	3.9	$	3.3

Funding income from BARDA decreased by $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in clinical and manufacturing activity eligible spend which is reimbursed by BARDA associated with the ridinilazole Phase III clinical program.

Funding income from BARDA increased by $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the recognition of the deferred income balance during the first half of 2022, partially offset by a decrease in clinical and manufacturing activity eligible spend which is reimbursed by BARDA associated with the ridinilazole Phase III clinical program.

U.K. research and development tax credits decreased by $3.4 million and $5.4 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year due to a decrease in clinical and manufacturing activity spend associated with the ridinilazole Phase III clinical program, which resulted in a decrease in tax credits claimed, coupled with a decrease in eligible expenses claimed due to recent changes in tax legislation.

Grant income received from CARB-X increased by $0.6 million and $1.0 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year due to an increase in spend to progress the preclinical candidate SMT-738 from the DDS-04 series for development in the fight against multidrug resistant infections, specifically CRE infections.

Other Expense, net


(in millions)	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through issuances of our common stock, payments to us under license, collaboration, and commercialization arrangements, for example, our license and commercialization agreement with Eurofarma Laboratórios SA, or Eurofarma, and development funding and other assistance from government entities, philanthropic, non-government and not-for-profit organizations for our product candidates and promissory notes from related parties. In particular, we have received funding from BARDA, CARB-X, Innovate UK, Wellcome Trust and a number of not-for-profit organizations.

We have devoted substantially all of our efforts to research and development, including clinical trials. We have not completed the development of any drugs. Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. The net losses we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year, due to the nature and timing of our research and development activities. We expect that our research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to be significant in connection with our ongoing research and development efforts. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval of ridinilazole in the United States or other jurisdictions where we retain commercial rights, and if we choose to retain those rights, we would expect to incur significant sales, marketing, distribution and outsourced manufacturing expenses, as well as ongoing research and development expenses. In addition, our expenses will increase if and as we:

•continue the research and development of ridinilazole, as well as our early-stage programs targeting infections caused by Enterobacteriaceae;

•seek to identify and develop additional future product candidates, including through our bacterial genetics-based Discuva Platform for the discovery and development of new era antibiotics, and specifically our research activities against a group of bacteria that collectively are known as the ESKAPE pathogens;

•seek marketing approvals for any product candidates that successfully complete clinical development;

•ultimately establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure in jurisdictions where we have retained commercialization rights and scale up external manufacturing capabilities to commercialize any product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;

•acquire or in-license other product candidates and technology;

•maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio;

•hire additional clinical, regulatory and scientific personnel;

•expand our physical presence; and

•add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product development and potential planned future commercialization efforts.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred a net loss of $16.8 million and $38.2 million and cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $38.2 million. As of June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $337.7 million, cash of $57.3 million, current and long-term research and development tax credits receivable of $16.5 million and accounts receivable of $0.2 million. Until we can generate substantial revenue and achieve profitability, we will need to raise additional capital to fund our ongoing operations and capital needs.

On June 22, 2022, we announced a rights offering for our existing shareholders to participate in the purchase of additional shares of our common stock. The rights offering commenced on July 18, 2022, and the associated subscription rights expired on August 8, 2022. Aggregate gross proceeds from the rights offering were $100 million from the sale of 103,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.97 per share. Issuance costs were approximately $100 thousand. In connection with the closing of the rights offering, the 2022 Note matured and became due, and we repaid all principal and accrued interest thereunder using a portion of the proceeds from this rights offering on August 10, 2022. Based on our current funding arrangements and financial resources as of June 30, 2022, and after considering net proceeds from the rights offering, and the repayment of the 2022 Note, we have the ability to fund our operating costs and working capital needs for more than twelve months from the date of issuance of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Until we can generate substantial revenue and achieve profitability, we will need to raise additional capital to fund ongoing operations and capital needs.

We have been in various stages of communication with multiple entities in order to pursue potential business development opportunities and may continue to seek to engage with these or other opportunities. However, given the inherent uncertainty in nature of these discussions, there can be no assurances that these discussions will result in actual transactions, collaborations, or other business development opportunities. These potential partnership opportunities may result in an upfront cash outlay to consummate these transactions, a commitment for additional funds to be paid upon the achievement of certain pre-determined milestones, and royalties to be paid upon the potential commercialization of certain product candidates. These milestone payments, if achieved, could result in multiple payments over the course of the next several years in addition to commercial-based royalties. The exact time period of these payments and amounts to be paid cannot be known and are dependent upon final negotiated agreements and the achievement of predetermined milestone achievements so agreed.

We have based the foregoing estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we currently expect. This estimate assumes, among other things, that we do not obtain any additional funding through grants and clinical trial support or through new collaboration arrangements. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

•the timing and evaluation of the data from our Phase III Ri-CoDIFy clinical trial for our lead product candidate, ridinilazole (formerly SMT19969), the next steps we will take with ridinilazole based upon our review, and the costs associated with these decisions, including completing our review of the data associated with Ri-CoDIFy and any partnerships into which we may enter to continue the advancement of ridinilazole;

•the number and development requirements of other future product candidates that we pursue;

•the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of ridinilazole and our other product candidates we develop;

•the costs and timing of commercialization activities, including product sales, marketing, distribution and manufacturing, for any of our product candidates that receive marketing approval;

•subject to receipt of marketing approval, revenue received from commercial sales of ridinilazole or any other product candidates;

•the costs and timing of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and protecting our intellectual property rights and defending against any intellectual property-related claims;

•our contract with BARDA and any future funding from BARDA;

•the amounts we receive from Eurofarma under our license and commercialization agreement, including for the achievement of development, commercialization and sales milestones and for product supply transfers;

•our ability to establish and maintain third-party partnerships or other arrangements and the financial terms of such arrangements;

•the extent to which we acquire or invest in other businesses, products and technologies;

•the rate of the expansion of our physical presence;

•the extent to which we change our physical presence

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of some, or all, of the following: equity and debt offerings, collaborations, strategic alliances, grants and clinical trial support from government entities, philanthropic, non-government and not-for-profit organizations and, marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. We do not have any committed external source of funds other than amounts we may receive from Eurofarma, BARDA, CARB-X and under our arrangements with them and our research and development tax credits receivable.

Due to recent change in tax legislation, there has been a decrease in eligible expenses claimed for U.K. R&D tax credits. The R&D tax credit claim is also affected and dependent up future decisions we make with respect to ridinilazole and its other clinical development activities.

We will be entitled to receive an additional $1.5 million from Eurofarma for the achievement of various development milestones and we are eligible to receive up to $21.4 million in development, commercial and sales milestones when cumulative net sales equal or exceed $100.0 million in the Eurofarma licensed territory. Each subsequent achievement of an additional $100.0 million in cumulative net sales will result in the Company receiving additional milestone payments, which, when combined with anticipated product supply transfer payments from Eurofarma paid to the Company in connection with a commercial supply agreement to be entered into between the two parties, will provide payments estimated to range from a mid-teens to high-teens percentage of cumulative net sales in the territories where we have granted Eurofarma commercialization rights. As of June 30, 2022, we have recognized $4.5 million of cumulative income since inception.

The total amount of committed BARDA funding is $62.4 million. As of June 30, 2022, an aggregate of $58.0 million of the total committed BARDA funding has been received and we have recognized $54.2 million of cumulative income since contract inception. The remaining federal government funding was dependent on BARDA in its sole discretion exercising the final independent option work segment, upon the achievement by the Company of certain agreed-upon milestones for ridinilazole. This option work segment was never exercised by BARDA. The contract ran through April 2022 and was extended through December 2022 as a no cost contract, solely to close out open activities.

The total amount of committed CARB-X funding was $4.1 million, with the possibility of up to another $3.7 million based on the achievement of future milestones. As of June 30, 2022, an aggregate of $1.2 million of grant funding from CARB-X has been received and we have recognized $2.6 million of cumulative income since inception. During the quarter-ended June 30, 2022, CARB-X announced changes to its funding arrangements and terms and conditions. As a result, the current arrangement concluded as of June 30, 2022, and we are in discussions with CARB-X to negotiate a new agreement for the remainder of the program.

We will need additional capital to fund our operations. Additional capital, when needed, may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends or other distributions. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements when needed, we will be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, research and development costs, intangible assets, stock-based compensation and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2022. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates that were disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Contractual obligations and commitments

We lease office and laboratory space. There have been no material changes to our lease commitments as of December 31, 2021 which were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2022, other than the termination of our short-term, Cambridge, Massachusetts office lease as a result of moving its corporate headquarters to Menlo Park, California and the two amendments to the Sublease Agreement with Maky Zanganeh and Associates, Inc. as described in Footnote 14.

We also have contingent payment obligations which primarily consist of commitments under our agreements with the Wellcome Trust, the University College London and certain employees, former employees and former directors of Discuva, pursuant to which we will be required to pay royalties or make milestone payments. As of June 30, 2022, we were unable to estimate the amount, timing or likelihood of achieving the milestones or making future product sales that these contingent payment obligations relate to. For additional information regarding these agreements, see “Business - Our Collaborations and Funding Arrangements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2022.

Additionally, we enter into contracts in the normal course of business with various third parties for clinical trials, preclinical research studies and testing, manufacturing and other services and products for operating purposes. Most contracts provide for termination upon notice, and therefore are cancellable contracts. There have been no material changes to our contractual commitments as of December 31, 2021 which were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2022 other than the changes to our lease commitments described above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than the contractual obligations and commitments described above, we did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off‑balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements, refer to Note 3, Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

We have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) under the supervision and the participation of the company’s management, which is responsible for the management of the internal controls, and which includes our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022, our Co-Chief

Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable level of assurance.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Information regarding risk factors affecting the Company's business are discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "Annual Report") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2022. Other than the risk factors described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report and in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2022. The risks referenced above are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risk and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

We may complete a future acquisition that may not achieve intended results or could increase the number of our outstanding shares or amount of outstanding debt or result in a change of control.

We may pursue business development opportunities to expand our pipeline of drug candidates, including without limitation, through potential acquisitions of and/or collaborations with other entities. Any such transaction could happen at any time, could be material to our business and could take any number of forms, including, for example, an acquisition, merger or a collaboration with other entities.

Evaluating potential transactions and integrating completed ones may divert the attention of our management from ordinary operating matters. The success of these potential transactions will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and cost synergies through the successful integration of the businesses we acquire with our existing business, as well as the success of the underlying business or intellectual property that we acquire or otherwise obtain rights to. Even if we are successful in integrating the acquired businesses, we cannot assure you that these integrations will result in the realization of the full benefit of any anticipated growth opportunities or cost synergies or that these benefits will be realized within the expected time frames. In addition, acquired businesses may have unanticipated liabilities or contingencies.

If we complete an acquisition, investment or other strategic transaction, we may require additional financing that could result in an increase in the number of our outstanding shares or the aggregate amount of our debt.

Depending on our future liquidity needs, we may need to seek additional funding in the future.

We expect to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. We will need additional capital to fund our operations. Depending on our future liquidity needs, we may need to seek additional funding in the future. Additional capital, when needed, may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders may be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends or other distributions. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds through equity, debt financings, or other arrangements when needed based on our liquidity needs, we may implement an alternative operating plan that materially scales back our operations, reduces cash expenditures, and focuses our available capital on a reduced number of activities and programs.

If our common stock continues to trade below $1.00, we may fail to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Market and our common stock may be delisted.

For the thirty (30) days ended August 4, 2022, the closing price of our common stock has been below $1.00 for 10 days. Our common stock is subject to certain continued listing standards set by the Nasdaq Global Market, including a requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share. If our common stock fails to meet such standards, it could be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market. This would have a negative impact on the liquidity of our common stock.
