Based on the Company’sour current operating plan, management believeswe believe that theour current cash and cash equivalents will allow us to meet our liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months.
On February 27, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional accredited investors (the “Private Placement Investors”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Private Placement Investors in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) (i) an aggregate of 464,377 shares (the “Private Placement Shares”) of our Class A common stock, at a purchase price of $11.81 per share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,853,997 shares of our Class A common stock (the “Private Placement Warrant Shares”) at a purchase price of $11.80 per Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrant (representing the $11.81 per Private Placement Share purchase price less the exercise price of $0.01 per Private Placement Warrant Share). We received aggregate gross proceeds from the Private Placement of approximately $51.0 million, before deducting offering expenses payable by us. The Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and will not expire.
On March 5, 2024, the Company entered into a letter agreement with the Private Placement Investors pursuant to meet its liquidity requirementswhich the Private Placement Investors agreed to exchange an aggregate of 116,493 Private Placement Shares for an aggregate of 116,590 Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrants.
On February 28, 2024, we entered into a sales agreement (the “TD Cowen Sales Agreement”) with Cowen and Company, LLC (“TD Cowen”), pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, through or to TD Cowen, as sales agent or principal, shares of our Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million (the “TD Cowen ATM Offering”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The investments are measured at fair value based on March 6, 2015 with Calithera Biosciences, Inc. (“Calithera”)a quoted market price per unit in active markets multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs (Level 1). Gains and losses are recorded in other income (expense), granting Calithera exclusive world-widenet on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Equity investments without readily determinable fair value include ownership rights to research, develop and commercialize the Company’s portfolio of hexokinase II inhibitors. Under the terms of the License Agreement, Calithera paidthat do not provide the Company an initial license fee of $0.6 millionwith control or significant influence and potential development and regulatory milestone payments totaling upthese investments do not have readily determinable fair values. The Company has elected to $30.5 millionmeasure its equity investments without readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the first licensed product, an additional $77.0 million in potential sales-based milestones, as well as royalty payments, based on tiered sales of the first commercialized licensed product. In addition, the Company recognized a total of $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 for the costs associated with up to four full-time employees for the Company to develop additional hexokinase inhibitors.  If Calithera develops additional licensed products, after achieving regulatory approval of the first licensed product, Calithera would owe additional regulatory milestone payments and additional royalty payments based on sales of such additional licensed products.

JDRF

In August 2017, the Company entered into the JDRF Agreement to support the funding of a Phase 2 Proof of Concept study to explore the effects of TTP399, an orally administered, liver-selective glucokinase activator (“GKA”), in type 1 diabetics.  According to the terms of the JDRF Agreement, JDRF will provide research funding of up to $3.0 million based on the achievement of research and development milestones, with the total funding not to exceed approximately one-half of the total cost of the project.  Additionally, the Company has the obligation to make certain milestone payments to JDRF upon the commercialization, licensing, saleidentical or transfer of TTP399 as a treatment for Type 1 Diabetes.

Payments that the Company receives from JDRF under this agreement will be recorded as restricted cash and current liabilities, and recognized as an offset to research and development expense, based on the progress of the project, and only to the extent that the restricted cash is utilized to fund such development activities.  As of September 30, 2017, the Company had received funding under this agreement of $0.3 million, and research and development costs were offset by an insignificant amount.  As of September 30, 2017, the Company has recognized restricted cash of $0.3 million related to this agreement.

similar investment.

Revenue Recognition

The Company uses the revenue recognition guidance established by ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.”606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASC 606”). When an agreement falls under the scope of other standards, such as ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”), the Company will apply the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure guidance in ASC 606 to the performance obligations in the agreements if those performance obligations are with a customer. Revenue recognized by analogizing to ASC 606, is recorded as collaboration revenue on the statements of operations.
The majority of the Company’s revenue results from its license and collaboration agreements associated with the development of investigational drug products. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. For each contract meeting these criteria, the Company identifies the performance obligations included within the contract. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. The Company then recognizes revenue when: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; 2)under each contract as the service has been provided torelated performance obligations are satisfied.
The transaction price under the customer; 3) collection of the feecontract is reasonably assured; and 4) the amount of the fee to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable. In determining the accounting for collaboration and alliance agreements, the Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 605, Subtopic 25, “Multiple-Element Arrangements” (“ASC 605-25”) and ASC 808 (“Collaborative Arrangements”). ASC 605-25 provides guidance on whether an arrangement that involves multiple revenue-generating activities or deliverables should be divided into separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes and, if division is required, how the arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units of accounting. If a deliverable has value on a stand-alone basis, the Company treats the deliverable as a separate unit of accounting. If the arrangement constitutes separate units of accounting according to the separation criteria of ASC 605-25, the consideration received is allocated among the separate units of accounting and the applicable revenue recognition criteria is applied to each unit. The Company determines how to allocate amounts received under agreements among the separate unitsdetermined based on the respectivevalue of the consideration expected to be received in exchange for the transferred assets or services. Development, regulatory and sales milestones included in the Company’s collaboration agreements are considered to be variable consideration. The amount of variable consideration expected to be received is included in the transaction price when it becomes probable that the milestone will be met. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the contract’s transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation using the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price of each unit. Ifdistinct good or service in the arrangement constitutes a single unit of accounting,contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the revenue recognition policy must be determined for the entire arrangement and the consideration receivedexpected cost plus margin approach. Revenue is recognized over the related period of inception throughover which the dateCompany expects the last deliverable within the single unit of accounting is expectedservices to be delivered.


Collaboration research and development revenue is earned and recognized as research is performed and related expenses are incurred. Non-refundable upfront fees are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized into revenue as license fees and milestones from collaborations onprovided using a proportional performance model or a straight-line basismethod of recognition if there is no discernible pattern over the estimated period of the Company’s substantive performance obligations. If the Company does not have substantive performance obligations, it recognizes non-refundable upfront fees into revenue ratably over the period during which the product deliverable is provided to the customer.

Revenue for non-refundable payments based on the achievementservices will be provided.

Table of milestone events under collaborative arrangements is recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 605, Subtopic 28, “Milestone Method” (“ASC 605-28”). Milestone events under the Company’s collaboration agreements may include research, development, regulatory, commercialization, and sales events. Under ASC 605-28, a milestone payment is recognized as revenue when the applicable event is achieved if the event meets the definition of a milestone and the milestone is determined to be substantive. ASC 605-28 defines a milestone event as an event having all of the following characteristics: (1) substantive uncertainty regarding achievement of the milestone event exists at the inception of the arrangement; (2) the event can only be achieved based, in whole or in part, on either the Company’s performance or a specific outcome resulting from the Company’s performance; and (3) if achieved, the event will result in additional payment due to the Company. The Company also treats events that can only be achieved based, in whole or in part, on either a third party’s performance or a specific outcome resulting from a third party’s performance as milestone events if the criteria of ASC 605-28 are otherwise satisfied.

Research and development costs that are reimbursable under collaboration agreements are recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 605, Subtopic 45, “Principal-Agent Considerations.” Amounts reimbursed under a cost-sharing arrangement are reflected as reductions of research and development expense.

Research and Development

Major components of research and development costs include cash and share-based compensation, depreciation expense on research and development property and equipment, costs of preclinical studies, clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities costs,cost, overhead costs, regulatory and compliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company records accruals based on estimates of the services received, efforts expended and amounts owed pursuant to contracts with numerous contract research and manufacturing organizations. In the normal course of business, the Company contracts with third parties to perform various clinical study activities in the ongoing development of potential products. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation and variation from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. Payments under the contracts depend on factors such as the achievement of certain events and the completion of portions of the clinical study or similar conditions. The objective of the Company’s accrual policy is to match the recording of expenses in its financial statements to the actual services received and efforts expended. As such, expense accruals related to clinical studies are recognized based on the Company’s estimate of the degree of completion of the event or events specified in the specific clinical study.

The Company records nonrefundable advance payments it makes for future research and development activities as prepaid expenses. Prepaid expenses are recognized as expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the Company receives the related goods or services.

Income Taxes: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09: “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). The ASU is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in the ASU address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for us in the annual period beginning January 1, 2025, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the presentational effect that ASU 2023-09 will have on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures, and we expect considerable changes to our income tax disclosures.

Note 3: Collaboration Agreements
G42 Purchase Agreement and Cogna Collaborative and License Agreement
The Company and G42 Investments AI Holding RSC Ltd, a private limited company (“G42 Investments”), entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “G42 Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company sold to G42 Investments 259,657 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price per share of approximately $96.40, for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million, which was paid (i) $12.5 million in cash at the closing and (ii) $12.5 million in the form of a promissory note of G42 Investments to be paid at May 31, 2023 (the “G42 Promissory Note”). On February 28, 2023, the Company and G42 Investments amended the G42 Purchase Agreement and modified the G42 Promissory Note to accelerate the payment due under the note. Pursuant to the amendment, on February 28, 2023, the Company received $12.0 million, which reflected the original amount due under the G42 Promissory Note less a 3.75% discount, in full satisfaction of the note, resulting in a loss of $0.3 million and was recognized as a component of other income, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
G42 Investments has agreed to certain transfer restrictions (including restrictions on short sales or similar transactions) and restrictions on further acquisitions of shares, in each case subject to specified exceptions. Following the expiration of a lock up period, from the period May 31, 2022 until December 31, 2024 (or if earlier, the date of receipt of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval in the U.S. for cadisegliatin (TTP399), the Company has granted to G42 Investments

certain shelf and piggyback registration rights with respect to those shares of Class A common stock issued to G42 Investments pursuant to the G42 Purchase Agreement, including the ability to conduct an underwritten offering to resell such shares under certain circumstances. The registration rights include customary cooperation, cut-back, expense reimbursement, and indemnification provisions.
Contemporaneously with the G42 Purchase Agreement, effective on May 31, 2022, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement (the “Cogna Agreement”) with Cogna Technology Solutions LLC, an affiliate of G42 Investments (“Cogna”), which requires Cogna to work with the Company in performing clinical trials for share-based compensation awardscadisegliatin (TTP399) as well as jointly creating a global development plan to develop, market, and commercialize cadisegliatin in certain countries in the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia (the “Partner Territory”). Under the terms of the Cogna Agreement, Cogna will obtain a license under certain intellectual property controlled by the Company to enable it to fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights under the Cogna agreement, including to develop and commercialize cadisegliatin in the Partner Territory, but will not have access to the various intellectual property (“IP”) related to the license and cadisegliatin. Specifically, the Company will share various protocols with Cogna related to conducting the clinical trials and will provide the patient dosages and placebo of cadisegliatin needed to conduct the trials.
Under the Cogna Agreement, Cogna has the right to develop and commercialize the cadisegliatin in the Partner Territory at its own cost once restrictions on the use of the IP have been lifted by the Company. The Cogna Agreement determined which specific countries in the Partner Territory that Cogna may pursue development and commercialization and provides the Company with the ability to determine when Cogna can benefit from this IP through the powers granted to the Company to approve the global development plan. Further, the Company may supply at cost, or Cogna may manufacture, cadisegliatin for commercial sale under terms to be agreed upon by the parties at a later date.
Separately, the Company will conduct its clinical trials for cadisegliatin outside of the Partner Territory at its own cost. The results of each party’s clinical trials will be combined by the Company to seek FDA approval in the United States for cadisegliatin. On December 21, 2022, G42 Healthcare Technology Solutions LLC (formerly known as Cogna Technology Solutions LLC) novated its rights and obligation under the Cogna agreement to G42 Healthcare Research Technology Projects LLC (“G42 Healthcare”), an affiliate of G42 Investments. As a result of the novation, all reference to Cogna herein shall be deemed to refer to G42 Healthcare.
The G42 Purchase Agreement also provides for, following the receipt of the cadisegliatin FDA Approval, at the option of G42 Investments, either (a) the issuance of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Milestone Shares”) having an aggregate value equal to $30.0 million or (b) the payment by the Company of $30.0 million in cash (the “Milestone Cash Payment”). The issuance of the Milestone Shares or the payment of the Milestone Cash Payment, as applicable, is basedconditioned upon receipt of the cadisegliatin FDA Approval and subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the G42 Purchase Agreement. There can be no assurance that the cadisegliatin FDA Approval will be granted or as to the timing thereof.
Once commercialization takes place in the Partner Territory, the Company will receive royalties in the single digits from Cogna on the net sales of cadisegliatin for a period of at least ten years after the first commercial sale of cadisegliatin in the Partner Territory.
Common stock is generally recorded at fair value at the date of issuance. In determining the fair value of the award atClass A common stock issued to G42 Investments, the dateCompany considered the closing price of grant, and compensation expense is recognizedthe common stock on the effective date. The Company did not make an adjustment to the fair value for those awards earned oversale restrictions on the service period. The grant datestock in accordance with guidance recently adopted in ASU 2022-03. See the “Recently Issued Accounting Guidance” in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for details of the ASU. Accordingly, the Company determined that cash consideration of $5.7 million should be recorded as fair value of the Class A common stock option awardsat the effective date, utilizing the Class A common stock closing price of $22.04 at the effective date.
A premium was paid on the Class A common stock by G42 Investments of $18.7 million, net of a note receivable discount of $0.6 million. This premium is estimated usingdetermined to be the Black-Scholes option pricing formula.

By applying the principals in ASC 606 by analogy, the Company identified the performance obligation and considered the timing of satisfaction of the obligation to account for the pattern of revenue recognition. In order to recognize collaboration revenue, generally, the Company would begin satisfying its performance obligation and Cogna would need to be able to use and benefit from delivery of the assets or services. The performance obligation under the agreements that fall within the 808 unit of account are concentrated in the clinical trials. As of March 31, 2024, the clinical trials had not commenced. Accordingly, no collaboration revenue was recognized for the ASC 808 unit of account during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The Company identified certain commitments that are in the scope of ASC 606 as Cogna’s relationship is that of a customer for these commitments. The significant performance obligations that are in the scope of ASC 606 are (1) the development, commercialization and manufacturing license of the IP once restrictions on the dateuse of grant.the IP have been lifted by the Company and (2) a potential material right to a commercial supply agreement. The Company also estimateswill recognize revenue from the numberdevelopment, commercial and manufacturing license at a point in time when the Company releases the restrictions on the use of share-based awards that arethe IP, which is expected to be forfeited based on historical employee turnover rates.

The Company recognized revenue for this guidance inperformance obligation using the straight-line method over the transfer service period. The revenue for this performance obligation has been fully recognized as of March 31, 2024. In the first quarter of fiscal 2017 on2024, the transaction price for this performance obligation was increased by $1.0 million due to the satisfaction of a prospective basisdevelopment milestone under the Newsoara License Agreement. This amount was fully recognized as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as the related performance obligation was fully satisfied. No revenue related to this performance obligation was recognized and will continue to estimate forfeitures of outstanding awards throughout the requisite service period.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU2016-18”), which clarifies the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows.  The update requires beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows to include cash and cash equivalents as well as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. The Company’s adoption of this guidance will change the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents within its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, but is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On October 28, 2016, the Company and vTv LLC entered into the Loan Agreement under which the Company and vTv LLC could borrow up to $25.0 million in three tranches of $12.5 million, $7.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively.

The Company borrowed the first tranche of $12.5 million upon closing of the transaction on October 28, 2016 and the second tranche of $7.5 million on March 24, 2017.  The availability of the third tranche of $5.0 million expired unused on June 30, 2017.  

Each loan tranche bears interest at a floating rate equal to 10.5% plus the amount by which the one-month London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) exceeds 0.5%.

The Company has agreed to repay the first tranche of $12.5 million on an interest only basis monthly until May 1, 2018 followed by equal monthly payments of principal plus accrued interest through the scheduled maturity date for the first tranche loan on May 1, 2020.  In addition, a final payment for the first tranche loan equal to $0.8 million will be due on May 1, 2020, or such earlier date specified in the Loan Agreement.  The Company has agreed to repay the second tranche of $7.5 million on an interest only basis monthly until October 1, 2018 followed by equal monthly payments of principal plus accrued interest through the scheduled maturity date for the second tranche loan on October 1, 2020.  In addition, a final payment for the second tranche loan equal to $0.5 million will be due on October 1, 2020, or such earlier date specified in the Loan Agreement.  

If the Company repays all or a portion of the loan prior to the applicable maturity date, it will pay the Lenders a prepayment penalty fee, based on a percentage of the then outstanding principal balance equal to 4.0% during the first 18 months following the funding of the second tranche and 2.0% thereafter.

The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of its assets other than its intellectual property.  Subject to certain conditions related to the Company’s Phase 3 clinical trial of azeliragon, the Company may be required to grant a security interest in its intellectual property.  The Company has agreed not to pledge or otherwise encumber its intellectual property assets, subject to certain exceptions.

The Loan Agreement includes customary affirmative and restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the payment of dividends or other equity distributions and the incurrence of debt or liens upon the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries.  The Loan Agreement does not contain any financial maintenance covenants.  The Loan Agreement includes customary events of default, including payment defaults, covenant defaults, and material adverse change default.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default and following any applicable cure periods, a default interest rate of an additional 5% will be applied to the outstanding loan balances, and the Lenders may declare all outstanding obligations immediately due and payable and take such other actions as set forth in the Loan Agreement.


In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company issued to the Lenders warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (the “Warrants”).  On October 28, 2016, the Company issued Warrants to purchase 152,580 shares of its Class A Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $6.39 per share, which aggregate exercise price represents 6.0% of the principal amount borrowed under the first tranche of the Loan Agreement and 3.0% of the amount available under the second tranche of the Loan Agreement. Additionally, upon funding of the second tranche on March 24, 2017, the Company issued Warrants to purchase 38,006 shares of its Class A Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $5.92 per share, which aggregate exercise price represents 3.0% of the amount available under the second tranche of the Loan Agreement.  In each instance, the Warrants have an exercise price equal to the lower of (a) the volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, as reported on the principal stock exchange on which the Company’s Class A Common Stock is listed, for 10 trading days prior to the issuance of the applicable Warrants or (b) the closing price of a share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the trading day prior to the issuance of the applicable Warrants.  The Warrants will expire seven years from their date of issuance.

The Company incurred $0.7 million of costs in connection with the Loan Agreement.  These costs, along with the allocated fair value of the Warrants issued for the first and second tranches which were treated as a debt discount, and are offset against the carrying value of the notes payable in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and will be recognized as interest expense over the term of each applicable tranche using the effective interest method.  The final payments for the first and second loan tranches will be accrued as additional interest expense, using the effective interest method, over the term of the relevant loan tranche.  

The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is considered to approximate its carrying value because it bears interest at a variable interest rate.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. If a specific contingent liability is determined to be probable and can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues and discloses the amount. The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.

Columbia University Agreement

In May 2015, the Company entered into a worldwide exclusive agreement with Columbia University (“Columbia”) to license certain intellectual property from Columbia. Under the agreement, the Company is obligated to pay to Columbia (1) an annual fee of $0.1 million from 2015 through 2021, (2) a potential regulatory milestone payment of $0.8 million and (3) potential royalty payments at a single digit royalty rate based on net sales of licensed products as defined in the agreement.

Novo Nordisk

In February 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement (the “Novo License Agreement”) Concerning Glucokinase Activator Project with Novo Nordisk A/S (the “Novo License Agreement”Nordisk”) whereby wethe Company obtained an exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable license under certain Novo Nordisk intellectual property rights to discover, develop, manufacture, have manufactured, use and commercialize products for the prevention, treatment, control, mitigation or palliation of human or animal diseases or conditions. As part of this license grant, the Company obtained certain worldwide rights to Novo Nordisk’s GKA program, including rights to preclinical and clinical compounds such as TTP399. This agreement was amended in May 2019 to create milestone payments applicable to certain specific and non-specific areas of therapeutic use. Under the terms of the amended Novo License Agreement, the Company has additional potential developmental and regulatory milestone payments totaling up to $9.0 million for approval of a product for the treatment of type 1 diabetes, $50.5 million for approval of a product for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, or $115.0 million for approval of a product.product in any other indication. The Company may also be obligated to pay an additional $75.0 million in potential sales-based milestones, as well as royalty payments, at mid-single digit royalty rates, based on tiered sales of commercialized licensed products.

option to renew for a five-year term as well as an option to terminate after three years, neither of which have been recognized as part of its related right of use assets or lease liabilities as their election is not considered reasonably certain. In November 2022, the Company entered into a second amendment to the lease, (i) to reduce the square footage and (ii) to extend the lease term, which constituted a modification event under ASC 842 and, the lease classification for the asset remains as an operating lease. As a result of the remeasurement of the associated lease liabilities, the Company recognized additional right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $0.1 million. Further, the second amendment to the lease does not include any material residual value guarantee or restrictive covenants.
At each of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the weighted average incremental borrowing rate for the operating leases held by the Company was 9.5%. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the weighted average remaining lease terms for the operating leases held by the Company were 1.7 years and 1.9 years, respectively.

Note 7: Noncontrolling Interest
The Company is subject to the Exchange Agreement with respect to the vTv Units representing the 70.5%19.2% noncontrolling interest in vTv LLC outstanding as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 (see Note 7)9). The Exchange Agreement requires the surrender of an equal number of vTv Units and Class B Common Stockcommon stock for (i) shares of Class A Common Stockcommon stock on a one-for-one basis or (ii) cash (based on the fair market value of the Class A Common Stockcommon stock as determined pursuant to the Exchange Agreement), at the Company’s option (as the managing member of vTv LLC), subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications. The exchange value is determined based on a 20 day20-day volume weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock


common stock as defined in the Exchange Agreement, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications.

On February 27, 2024, in connection with the Private Placement financing, the Investor Rights Agreement altered M&F TTP Holdings Two LLC (“M&F”) governance rights such that directors designated by M&F no longer comprised a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors (see Note 9). The redeemable noncontrolling interest redemption feature to exchange vTv Units for cash rather than shares of Class A common stock is recognizeda contingent event that is now within control of the Company through the Company’s independent Board of Directors. As a result, $5.3 million representing the fair value of redeemable noncontrolling interest on February 27, 2024, was reclassified from temporary equity in the mezzanine section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to noncontrolling interest as a component of permanent equity.
Prior to February 27, 2024, the Company recorded redeemable noncontrolling interest at the higher of (1) theits initial fair value plus accumulated earnings/losses associated with the noncontrolling interest or (2) the redemption value as of the balance sheet date.

Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation
On May 4, 2021, the Company filed an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock that the Company is authorized to issue from 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock to 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing an increase of 100,000,000 shares of authorized Class A common stock, with a corresponding increase in the total authorized common stock, which includes Class A common stock and Class B common stock, from 200,000,000 to 300,000,000, and a corresponding increase in the total authorized capital stock, which includes common stock and preferred stock, from 250,000,000 shares to 350,000,000 shares.
On November 20, 2023, the Company filed an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as amended, to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-40 (the "Reverse Stock Split"). Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, every 40 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock was combined into one issued and outstanding share of Class A Common Stock and every 40 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock was combined into one issued and outstanding share of Class B Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split did not reduce the number of authorized shares of Class A and Class B common stock, which remained at 200,000,000 and 100,000,000 respectively and did not change the par value of the common stock, which remained at $0.01 per share. The Reverse Stock Split did not have any effect on the number of authorized shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share, which would remain at 50,000,000 shares. Currently no shares of preferred stock are outstanding.
Common Stock and Pre-funded Warrants
In February 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain Private Placement Investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Private Placement Investors in a private placement (i) an aggregate of 464,377 shares of our Class A common stock, at a purchase price of $11.81 per share and (ii) issued pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,853,997 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.80 per pre-funded warrant. The pre-funded warrants were immediately exercisable, have an exercise price of $0.01 and may be exercised at any time after the date of issuance. A holder of pre-funded warrants may not exercise the warrant if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. A holder of the pre-funded warrants may increase or decrease this percentage not in excess of 19.99% by providing at least 61 days’ prior notice to the Company. As of March 31, 2024, there were pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,970,587 shares of the Company’s common stock that remained available for exercise.
The pre-funded warrants were classified as a component of permanent equity in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as they are freestanding financial instruments that are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its own shares and permit the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. All of the shares underlying the pre-funded warrants have been included in the weighted-average number of shares of common stock used to calculate net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because the shares may be issued for little or no consideration, are fully vested and are exercisable after the original issuance date of the pre-funded warrants.
On March 5, 2024, the Company entered into a letter agreement with the Private Placement Investors pursuant to which the Private Placement Investors agreed to exchange an aggregate of 116,493 Private Placement Shares for an aggregate of 116,590 Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrants.

On February 28, 2023, the Company and G42 Investments amended the G42 Purchase Agreement and modified the G42 Promissory Note to accelerate the payment due under the note. Pursuant to the amendment, on February 28, 2023, the Company received $12.0 million, which reflected the original amount due under the G42 Promissory Note less a 3.75% discount, in full satisfaction of the note, resulting in a loss of $0.3 million and $122.5was recognized as a component of other income, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On July 22, 2022 (the “Transaction Date”), the Company entered into the CinRx Purchase Agreement with CinPax, LLC (“CinPax”) and CinRx-Pharma, LLC (“CinRx”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to CinPax 103,864 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price per share of approximately $96.40, for an aggregate purchase price of $10.0 million, respectively.

which was paid (i) $6.0 million in cash at the closing of the transaction and (ii) $4.0 million in the form of a non-interest-bearing promissory note with CinPax and was paid to the Company on November 22, 2022.
Common stock is generally recorded at fair value at the date of issuance. In determining the fair value of the Class A common stock issued to CinPax, the Company considered the closing price of the common stock on the Transaction Date. The Company did not make an adjustment to the fair value for sale restrictions on the stock in accordance with guidance recently adopted in ASU 2022-03. See the “Recently Issued Accounting Guidance” in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for details of the ASU.Accordingly, the Company determined that cash consideration of $3.0 million should be recorded as fair value of the Class A common stock at the effective date, utilizing the Class A common stock closing price of $28.80 at the effective date.
The CinRx Purchase Agreement also provides CinRx warrants to purchase up to 30,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise of price of approximately $28.80 per share (the “CinRx Warrants”). The CinRx Warrants were initially measured at fair value of $0.4 million using the Black-Scholes option model at the time of issuance and will be recorded in Warrant liability related party in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be subsequently remeasured at fair value through earnings on a recurring basis. (see Note 12)
The CinRx Warrants will become exercisable by CinRx only if (i) the Company receives approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA Approval”) to market and distribute the pharmaceutical product containing the Company’s proprietary candidate, cadisegliatin (the “Product”), or (ii) the Company is acquired by a third party, sells all or substantially all of its assets related to the Product to a third party or grants a third party an exclusive license to develop, commercialize and manufacture the Product in the United States. If neither of these events happen within five years of the date of the issuance of the CinRx Warrants, the CinRx Warrants will expire and not be exercisable by CinRx. The exercise price of the CinRx Warrants and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the CinRx Warrants are subject to adjustments in accordance with the terms of the CinRx Warrants.
Additionally, in conjunction with the CinRx Purchase Agreement the Company and CinRx entered into a Master Service Agreement (“CinRx MSA”) whereby CinRx provides the Company with consulting, preclinical and clinical trial services, as enumerated in project proposals negotiated between the Company and CinRx from time to time. (see Note 9)
The Company did not identify any other promises in the CinRx Purchase Agreement (aside from the issuance of common shares and the CinRx Warrants) and determined since there is no value ascribed to the CinRx MSA, the right to appoint a member and observer to the board of directors, that the remaining unallocated amount meets the definition of contributed equity and represents the amount in excess of par. The Company, CinPax and CinRx subsequently amended the CinRx Purchase Agreement on February 27, 2024, in connection with the Private Placement. The CinRx Purchase Agreement provides CinPax the right for two years following the Closing to designate a board observer, which has been subsequently approved by the Company’s board.
ATM Offering
On February 28, 2024, we entered into a sales agreement (the “TD Cowen Sales Agreement”) with Cowen and Company, LLC (“TD Cowen”), pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, through or to TD Cowen, as sales agent or principal, shares of our Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million (the

Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities registered on the registration statement relating to the TD Cowen ATM Offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of our public float in any 12-month period so long as our public float remains below $75.0 million. Under the terms of the TD Cowen Sales Agreement, we will pay TD Cowen a commission of 3.0% of the aggregate proceeds from the sale of shares and reimburse certain legal fees or other disbursements.

Note 10: Income Taxes

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income taxes as well as state taxes. As a result of theThe Company’s operating losses, theincome tax provision for three months ended March 31, 2024 was $0.1 million representing foreign withholding taxes accrued in connection with revenue recorded under license agreements with foreign entities. The Company did not record an income tax expenseprovision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. March 31, 2023.

Note 12: Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, net accounts receivable, note receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
The Company measures the value of its equity investments without readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments. The following table summarizes the conclusions reached regarding fair value measurements as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

Gains and losses recognized due to the change in fair value of the warrant liability, related party are recognized as a component of other expense, related party in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The fair value of the Letter Agreement Warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or option pricing models based on the Company’s current capitalization. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of valuation. Significant inputs utilized in the valuation of the Letter Agreement Warrants as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were:

The fair value of the CinRx Warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of valuation. Significant inputs utilized in the valuation of the CinRx Warrants as of March 31, 2024, were:

The weighted average expected volatility and risk-free interest rate was based on the relative fair values of the warrants.
Changes in the unobservable inputs noted above would impact the amount of the liability for the Letter Agreement Warrants and CinRx Warrants. Increases (decreases) in the estimates of the Company’s annual volatility would increase (decrease) the liability and an increase (decrease) in the annual risk-free rate would increase (decrease) the liability.

Company Overview

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceuticalclinical stage pharmaceutical company engaged infocused on treating metabolic and inflammatory diseases to minimize their long-term complications and improve the discovery and developmentlives of orally administeredpatients. We have an innovative pipeline of first-in-class small molecule clinical and preclinical drug candidates to fill significant unmet medical needs. We have a pipeline of clinical drug candidates, led by our programs for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”) and diabetes.candidates. Our drug candidate for the treatment of AD, azeliragonlead program is cadisegliatin (TTP488)TTP399), is an orally administered, small molecule, antagonist targeting the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (“RAGE”), for which we have successfully completed the enrollment of patients in both sub-studies in our Phase 3 clinical trial (the “STEADFAST Study”) under a Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) agreed Special Protocol Assessment (“SPA”). Our type 2 diabetes drug candidates include TTP399, an orally administered, liver-selective glucokinase activator (“GKA”) as an adjunctive therapy to insulin for the treatment of type 1 diabetes (“T1D”).
Recent Developments
Private Placement of Class A Common Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants
On February 27, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional accredited investors (the “Private Placement Investors”), forpursuant to which we completedagreed to issue and sell to the Private Placement Investors in a Phase 2b clinical trialprivate placement (the “AGATA Study”“Private Placement”) in August 2016,(i) an aggregate of 464,377 shares (the “Private Placement Shares”) of our Class A common stock, at a purchase price of $11.81 per share, and TTP273,(ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an orally administered, non-peptide agonist that targetsaggregate of 3,853,997 shares of our Class A common stock (the “Private Placement Warrant Shares”) at a purchase price of $11.80 per Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrant (representing the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (“GLP-1r”), for which we completed a Phase 2 clinical trial (the “LOGRA Study”) in December 2016.

In August 2017,$11.81 per Private Placement Share purchase price less the exercise price of $0.01 per Private Placement Warrant Share). We received aggregate gross proceeds from the Private Placement of approximately $51.0 million, before deducting offering expenses payable by us. The Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and will not expire.

On March 5, 2024, the Company entered into a letter agreement with the JDRF AgreementPrivate Placement Investors pursuant to supportwhich the fundingPrivate Placement Investors agreed to exchange an aggregate of 116,493 Private Placement Shares for an adaptive Phase 1b/2 study to explore the effectsaggregate of TTP399, an orally administered, liver-selective glucokinase activator116,590 Private Placement Pre-Funded Warrants.

Our Type 1 Diabetes Program – Cadisegliatin (TTP399)
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Breakthrough Therapy designation in 2021 for cadisegliatin as an adjunctive therapy to insulin for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. The Breakthrough Therapy designation provides a sponsor with added support and the potential to expedite development and review timelines for a promising new investigational medicine. The Breakthrough Therapy designation for cadisegliatin in T1D was supported by the positive results from the Phase 2 SimpliciT-1 Study, a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, adaptive study assessing the safety and efficacy of cadisegliatin as an adjunct to insulin therapy in adults with T1D. In this trial, treatment with cadisegliatin resulted in a statistically significant improvement in HbA1c relative to placebo and a clinically meaningful decrease (40%) in the frequency of severe and symptomatic hypoglycemia. Cadisegliatin demonstrated a favorable safety profile, in which abnormal levels of serum or urine ketones were detected less frequently in patients taking cadisegliatin than those taking placebo.
In May of 2023, the FDA issued new draft guidance on "Diabetes Mellitus: Efficacy Endpoints for Clinical Trials Investigating Antidiabetic Drugs and Biological Products" which, for the first time, permitted the use of hypoglycemia as an endpoint to support a label claim. Consistent with this guidance and with input from the FDA, we have initiated a Phase 3 double-blind controlled trial to assess the effect of cadisegliatin on reducing the frequency of Level 2 hypoglycemia (blood glucose levels are less than 54 mg/dL or 3 mmol/L, regardless of symptoms) and Level 3 hypoglycemia ("severe" hypoglycemia e.g., requiring assistance of another person) in 150 patients with type 1 diabetes. Participants in the trial will be randomized to two doses of cadisegliatin or placebo. Reduction in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), a traditional efficacy endpoint in diabetes trials, is a key secondary endpoint to assess the potential of cadisegliatin to reduce hyperglycemia, Following the initial assessment of efficacy after six months of treatment, participants will remain on trial for another six months to assess the durability of potential beneficial effects and safety. The study protocol was submitted to the FDA on February 29, 2024. The trial will be conducted in the U.S. only and is expected to complete enrollment by the fourth quarter in 2024 providing top line 1-year data by the first quarter in 2026.
Concurrently, we will be working on the design for two international registrational studies for cadisegliatin in type 1 diabetes,which we expect to start in 2026.
In addition, we continue to work with our partner, G42 Investments AI Holding RSC Ltd. (“G42”), to initiate a double-blind, randomized, controlled Phase 2 trial in the Middle East region in 450 insulin-using patients with type 2 diabetes. We expect that trial to begin in 2024.

The Company hasWe have determined that vTv LLC is a variable-interest entity (“VIE”) for accounting purposes and that vTv Therapeutics Inc. is the primary beneficiary of vTv LLC because (through its managing member interest in vTv LLC and the fact that the senior management of vTv Therapeutics Inc. is also the senior management of vTv LLC) it has the power to direct all of the activities of vTv LLC, which include those that most significantly impact vTv LLC’s economic performance. vTv Therapeutics Inc. has therefore consolidated vTv LLC’s results under the VIE accounting model in its consolidated financial statements.

To date, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to our research and development efforts relating to our drug candidates, including conducting clinical trials with our drug candidates, providing general and administrative support for these operations and protecting our intellectual property. We do not have any products approved for sale and have not generated any revenue from drug sales.  From our inception through September 30, 2017, we have funded our operations primarily through a combination of private placements of preferred equity, research collaboration agreements, upfront and milestone payments for license agreements, debt financing and the completion of our initial public offering (“IPO”) in August 2015.

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for at least the next several years. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:

continue the development of our lead drug candidate, azeliragon, for the treatment of AD;

seek to obtain regulatory approvals for azeliragon;

prepare for the potential commercialization of azeliragon;

begin outsourcing the commercial manufacturing of azeliragon;

expand our research and development activities and advance our clinical programs, including our type 2 diabetes programs, TTP399 and TTP273; and

maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio.

We do not expect to generate revenue from drug sales unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our drug candidates, which we expect will take a number of years and will be subject to significant uncertainty. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital in addition to the net proceeds of the IPO and the Loan Agreement prior to the commercialization of azeliragon or any of our other drug candidates. Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing


arrangements. Nevertheless, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed, on favorable terms or at all, which would have a negative impact on our liquidity and financial condition and could force us to delay, reduce the scope or eliminate one or more of our research and development programs or commercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause us to cease operations, in part or in full.

Financial Overview

Revenue

To date, we have not generated any revenue from drug sales. All of ourOur revenue to date has been primarily derived from milestone payments, up-front proceeds and research fees under collaboration and license agreements and government grants.

agreements.

In the future, we may generate revenue from a combination of product sales, license fees, milestone payments and royalties from the sales of products developed under licenses of our intellectual property. We expect that any revenue we generate will fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of the timing and amount of license fees, milestone and other payments, and the amount and timing of payments that we receive upon the sale of our products, to the extent any are successfully commercialized. If we fail to complete the development of our drug candidates in a timely manner or obtain regulatory approval for them, our ability to generate future revenue and our results of operations and financial position will be materially adversely affected.

Research and Development Expenses

Since our inception, we have focused our resources on our research and development activities, including conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings for our drug candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our direct research and development expenses consist primarily of external costs such as fees paid to investigators, consultants, central laboratories and clinical research organizations (“CRO”s) in connection with our clinical trials, and costs related to acquiring and manufacturing clinical trial materials. Our indirect research and development costs consist primarily of salaries,cash and share-based compensation costs, the cost of employee benefits and related overhead expenses for personnel in research and development functions and depreciation of leasehold improvements, laboratory equipment and computers.functions. Since we typically use our employee and infrastructure resources across multiple research and development programs such costs are not allocated to the individual projects.

From our inception, including our predecessor companies, through September 30, 2017, we have incurred approximately $531.8 million in research and development expenses.

Our research and development expenses by project for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 and 20162023 were as follows (in thousands):

We plan to continue to incur significant research and development expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of azeliragoncadisegliatin and further advance the development of our other drug candidates, subject to the availability of additional funding.

The successful development of our clinical and preclinical drug candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the remainder of the development of any of our clinical or preclinical drug candidates or the period, if any, in which material net cash inflows

from these drug candidates may commence. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of our drug candidates, including:

the uncertainty of the scope, rate of progress and expense of our ongoing, as well as any additional, clinical trials and other research and development activities;

the potential benefits of our candidates over other therapies;


our ability to market, commercialize and achieve market acceptance for any of our drug candidates that we are developing or may develop in the future;

our ability to market, commercialize and achieve market acceptance for any of our drug candidates that we are developing or may develop in the future;

future clinical trial results;

our ability to enroll patients in our clinical trials;

the timing and receipt of any regulatory approvals, if any;approvals;

our ability to secure sufficient capital and

cash resources, including access to available debt and equity financing and revenues from operations, to satisfy all of our short-term and longer-term cash requirements and other cash needs, at the times and in the amounts needed;
legislation and regulatory actions and changes in laws or regulations; and

the filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing of patent claims and other intellectual property rights, and the expense of doing so.

A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of a drug candidate could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of that drug candidate. For example, if the FDA or another regulatory authority were to require us to conduct clinical trials beyond those that we currently anticipate will be required for the completion of clinical development of a drug candidate, or if we experience significant delays in enrollment in any of our clinical trials, we could be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time with respect to the development of that drug candidate.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and related costs for employees in executive, finance, corporate development, and human resources and administrative support functions. Other significant general and administrative expenses include accounting and legal services, expenses associated with obtaining and maintaining patents, cost of various consultants, occupancy costs and information systems.

We expect that

Research and development expenses were $9.0$2.6 million and $11.2$3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 and 2016,2023, respectively. The decrease in research and development expenses during thethis period of $2.2$1.3 million or 19.5%32.8%, was primarily driven by i) lower spending on cadisegliatin of $1.5 million, due to:

A decreaseto decreases in toxicity study costs and drug manufacturing related costs partially offset by increases in clinical trial start-up costs, of $0.1 million for azeliragon which was mainly driven by a decrease of $0.6 million related to the timing of expenses for our ongoing STEADFAST study, offset byand ii) an increase in indirect costs and other projects of $0.5 million related to the costs for our open-label extension (“OLE”) trial as patients completing the STEADFAST Study elect to roll into the OLE trial;

$0.2 million.

Costs related to TTP399 in the third quarter of 2017 decreased $0.7 million from the three months ended September 30, 2016, due to the completion of the AGATA study in August 2016;

A decrease in clinical trial costs of $1.2 million for TTP273 in the third quarter of 2017 as compared with the third quarter of 2016, due to the completion of the LOGRA study in December 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, we havehad an accumulated deficit of $263.7 million as well as$286.1 million. Since our inception, we have experienced a history of negative cash flows from operating activities. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses and negative cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future as we continue our clinical trials. Further, we expect that we will need additional capital to continue to fund our operations. Our currently available sourcesAs of liquidity include ourMarch 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $20.5$52.3 million.
On February 27, 2024, the Company closed a private placement financing of up to $51.0 million at September 30, 2017.  Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our current cash and cash equivalentsadditionally granting investors the right to purchase up to an additional $30.0 million of common stock 18 months following the closing of the private placement financing. The financing raised will allow usthe Company to meet our liquidity requirements through the receipt of top-line resultsfurther advance its lead program for Subpart A of our STEADFAST Study in early 2018.  cadisegliatin.
In addition to available cash and cash equivalents and available funds discussed above, we are seeking possible additional partnering opportunities for our GKA, GLP-1r and other drug candidates which we believe may provide additional cash for use in our operations and the continuation of the clinical trials for our drug candidates. We will also pursue other sourcesare evaluating several financing strategies to fund our planned and ongoing clinical trials, including direct equity investments and future public offerings of interim financing to provide flexibility to our operating plan.common stock. The timing and occurrenceavailability of such interimadditional financing isare not yet known.  These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.  

Debt Transaction

In October 2016,

ATM Offering
TD Cowen Sales Agreement
On February 28, 2024, we and vTv LLC entered into the Loan Agreement, undera sales agreement (the "TD Cowen Sales Agreement") with Cowen and Company, LLC (“TD Cowen”) pursuant to which we have borrowed $20.0 million.  Each loan tranche bears interest at a floating rate equalmay offer and sell, from time to 10.5% plus the amount by which the one-month LIBOR exceeds 0.5%.  

We borrowed the first tranche of $12.5 million upon the close of the Loan Agreement in October 2016.  Payments with respecttime, through or to the first tranche are payable on an interest only basis monthly until May 1, 2018, followed by equal monthly payments ofTD Cowen, as sales agent or principal, plus accrued interest through the scheduled maturity date on May 1, 2020.  In addition, a final payment for the first tranche loan equal to $0.8 million will be due on May 1, 2020, or such earlier date specified in the Loan Agreement.  We borrowed the second tranche of $7.5 million in March 2017.  Payments with respect to the second tranche are payable on an interest only basis monthly until October 1, 2018, followed by equal monthly payments of principal plus accrued interest through the scheduled maturity date on October 1, 2020.  In addition, a final payment for the second tranche loan equal to $0.5 million will be due on October 1, 2020, or such earlier date specified in the Loan Agreement.  The availability of the third tranche of $5.0 million expired unused on June 30, 2017.  

If we repay all or a portion of the loan prior to the applicable maturity date, we will pay the Lenders a prepayment penalty fee, based on a percentage of the then outstanding principal balance equal to 4.0% during the first 18 months following the funding of the second tranche and 2.0% thereafter.

In connection with the Loan Agreement, we have issued to the Lenders warrants to purchase shares of our Class A common stock.  On October 28, 2016, we issued Warrants to purchase 152,580 shares of our Class A common stock at a per share exercisehaving an aggregate offering price of $6.39 per share, which aggregate exercise price represents 6.0%up to $50.0 million, although we may only offer and sell under the TD Cowen ATM Offering up to one-third of the principal amount borrowed under the first tranche of the Loan Agreement and 3.0% of the amount available under the second tranche of the Loan Agreement. On March 24, 2017, in connection with the funding of the second tranche, we issued Warrants to purchase 38,006 sharesaggregate market value of our Class A common stock at a per share exercise priceheld by non-affiliates during any 12 calendar month period pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of $5.92 per share, which aggregate exercise price represents 3.0%Form S-3. We are not obligated to sell any shares under the TD Cowen Sales Agreement. Under the terms of the principal amountTD Cowen Sales Agreement, we will pay TD Cowen a commission of 3% of the second tranche. In each instance,aggregate proceeds from the Warrants have an exercise price equal to the lowersale of (a) the volume weighted average price per share of our Class A common stock, as reported on the principal stock exchange on which our Class A common stock is listed, for 10 trading days prior to the issuance of the applicable Warrants or (b) the closing price of a share of our Class A common stock on the trading day prior to the issuance of the applicable Warrants.  The Warrants will expire seven years from their date of issuance.

The Loan Agreement includes customary affirmativeshares and restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the payment of dividendsreimburse certain legal fees or other equity distributions and the incurrence of debt or liens upon the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries.  The Loan Agreement does not contain any financial maintenance covenants.  The Loan Agreement includes customary events of default, including payment defaults, covenant defaults and material adverse change default.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default and following any applicable cure periods, a default interest rate of an additional 5% will be applied to the outstanding loan balances, and the Lenders may declare all outstanding obligations immediately due and payable and take such other actions as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

Future Funding Requirements

To date, we have not generated any revenue from drug product sales. We do not know when, or if, we will generate any revenue from drug product sales. We do not expect to generate significant revenue from drug sales unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize azeliragon or any of our other drug candidates. At the same time, we expect our expenses to continue or to increase in connection with our ongoing development activities, particularly as we continue the research, development and clinical trials of, and seek regulatory approval for, our drug candidates. In addition, subject to obtaining regulatory approval of any of our drug candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses for product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. We anticipate that we will need substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. We will also continue to use cash to fund expenses related to our compliance with requirements applicable to us as a listed public company.

Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents will allow us to meet our liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months. We plan to finance our operations into the first quarter of 2026 through the receiptuse of top-line results for Subpart A of our STEADFAST Study in early 2018.  In addition to available cash and cash equivalents and based on current operating plans, we are seeking possible partnering opportunities for our GKA, GLP-1revaluating several financing strategies to fund the ongoing and future clinical trials of cadisegliatin, including direct equity investments and the potential licensing and monetization of other drug candidates whichCompany programs. The timing of any such transactions is not certain, and we believe may provide additional cash for use innot be able to complete such transactions on acceptable terms, or at all. Even if we are able to complete such transactions, they may contain restrictions on our operations and the continuation of the clinical trials for our drug candidates.  We will also pursue other sources of interim financing to provide flexibilityor cause substantial dilution to our operating plan.  The timing and occurrence of such interim financing is not yet known.stockholders. We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we may use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our drug candidates, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures necessary to complete the development of our drug candidates.

Additionally, we may rely on our ability to sell shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to the ATM Offering. However, the ability to use this source of capital is dependent on a number of factors, including the prevailing market price of and the volume of trading in the Company’s Class A common stock.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

the progress, costs, results and timing of our planned trials to evaluate cadisegliatin as a potential adjunctive therapy for the STEADFAST Study, and the clinical developmenttreatment of azeliragon;

type 1 diabetes;

the willingness of the FDA to accept the STEADFAST Study, as well asrely upon our other completed and planned clinical and preclinical studies and other work, as the basis for review and approval of azeliragon;

our drug candidates;
our ability to maintain control over our costs in line with our budget to complete the Phase 3 clinical trial for our lead product candidate, cadisegliatin;

the outcome, costs and timing of seeking and obtaining FDA and any other regulatory approvals;

the number and characteristics of drug candidates that we pursue, including our drug candidates in preclinical development;

the ability of our drug candidates to progress through clinical development successfully;

our need to expand our research and development activities;


the costs associated with securing, establishing and maintaining commercialization capabilities;

the costs associated with securing, establishing and maintaining commercialization capabilities;

the costs of acquiring, licensing or investing in businesses, products, drug candidates and technologies;

our ability to maintain, expand and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including the amount and timing of any payments we may be required to make, or that we may receive, in connection with the licensing, filing, prosecution, defense and enforcement of any patents or other intellectual property rights;

our need and ability to hire additional management, and scientific, and medical personnel;

the effect of competing technological and market developments;

our need to implement additional internal systems and infrastructure, including financial and reporting systems;

the economic and other terms, timing and success of our existing licensing arrangements and any collaboration, licensing or other arrangements into which we may enter in the future; and

the amount of any payments we are required to make to M&F TTP Holdings Two LLC in the future under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

28


Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenue from drug sales, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. We do not currently have any committed external source of funds. arrangements.
To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interests of our common stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants that will further limit or restrict our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may be required to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams or drug candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.  If we are unable to obtain additional funding, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect our business prospects.

This quarterly report includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws regarding, among other things, our management’s intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations, or predictions of future events, which are considered forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on those statements because they are subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategy. These statements often include words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate”“would” or similar expressions.expressions and the negatives of those terms. These statements are based upon assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry, as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors that we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read this quarterly report, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described under the heading “Risk Factors” under Item 1A of Part I in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and under Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors, including those described under the heading “Risk Factors” under Item 1A of Part I in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and under Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

Our forward-looking statements made herein are made only as of the date of this quarterly report. We expressly disclaim any intent, obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statements are based.

ITEM 3.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Our Loan Agreement bears interest at a floating rate equal to 10.5% plus the amount by which the one-month LIBOR exceeds 0.5%.  A one percent increase in the variable rate of interest on the Loan Agreement would increase interest expense by approximately $0.2 million annually based on the amounts currently outstanding.

We do not currently hedge ourhave any material interest rate exposure.

29

Market Risk

Our exposure to market risk is limited to our cash and cash equivalents, all of which have maturities of one year or less. The goals of our investment strategy are preservation of capital, fulfillment of liquidity needs and fiduciary control of cash and investments. We also seek to maximize income from our investments without assuming significant risk. To achieve our goals, we maintain a portfolio ofcash and cash equivalents and investments in a variety of securitieswith multiple financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality. The securities in our investment portfolio are not leveraged and are, due to their short-term nature, subject to minimal interest rate risk. Because of the short-term maturities of our investments, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have a material negative impact on the value of our investment portfolio.

Foreign Currency Risk

We do not have any material foreign currency exposure.


ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Financial Officer), management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2024. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in causing material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) to be recorded, processed, summarized, and reported by management on a timely basis and to ensure the quality and timeliness of our public disclosures pursuant to SEC disclosure obligations.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, with the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error and mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of controls.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting other than those described aboveduring our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

In addition to the

Our risk factor listed below and other information in this report, investors should carefully consider the risk factors are set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” under Item 1A of Part I in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.


We will need additional capital2023. There have been no material changes to complete the STEADFAST Study and to complete the development and commercialization of azeliragon and our other drug candidates and there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital for these purposes, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs.

Developing pharmaceutical products, including conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, is expensive. We expect our research and development expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue the STEADFAST Study, undertake additional clinical trials of our other drug candidates and continue to work on our other research programs. Our current capital will not be sufficient for us to complete the STEADFAST Study and the development of our other drug candidates. As such, we will need to raise substantial additional capital to complete the development and commercialization of azeliragon. We are seeking possible partnering opportunities for our GKA, GLP-1r and other drug candidates which we believe may provide additional cash for userisk factors from those previously disclosed in our operations andAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the continuation of the clinical trials for our drug candidates.  We will also pursue other sources of interim financing to provide flexibility to our operating plan.  The timing and occurrence of such interim financing is not yet known.

If the FDA or other regulators require that we perform additional studies beyond those we currently expect, or if there are any delays in completing our clinical trials or the development of any of our drug candidates, our expenses could increase beyond what we currently anticipate and the timing of any potential product approval may be delayed. We have no commitments or arrangements for any additional financing to fund our research and development programs. We also will need to raise substantial additional capital in the future to complete the development and commercialization of azeliragon for additional indications and for developing our other drug candidates. Because successful development of our drug candidates is uncertain, we are unable to estimate the actual funds required to complete research and development and commercialize and license our products under development.

Until we can generate a sufficient amount of revenue from our drug candidates, if ever, we expect to finance future cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. We may seek to access the public or private capital markets whenever conditions are favorable, even if we do not have an immediate need for additional capital at that time. If worldwide economic conditions and the international equity and credit markets deteriorate and return to depressed states, it will be more difficult for us to obtain additional equity or credit financing, when needed.

Our recurring losses, accumulated deficit and our current levels of cash and cash equivalents raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and it is likely that investors will lose all or a part of their investment.  If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Further, if adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our research or development programs.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

the progress, costs, results and timing of the STEADFAST Study, and the clinical development of azeliragon;

year ended December 31, 2023.

the willingness of the FDA to accept the STEADFAST Study, as well as our other completed and planned clinical and preclinical studies and other work, as the basis for review and approval of azeliragon;


the outcome, costs and timing of seeking and obtaining FDA and any other regulatory approvals;

the number and characteristics of drug candidates that we pursue, including our drug candidates in preclinical development;

the ability of our drug candidates to progress through clinical development successfully;

our need to expand our research and development activities;

the costs associated with securing, establishing and maintaining commercialization capabilities;

the costs of acquiring, licensing or investing in businesses, products, drug candidates and technologies;

our ability to maintain, expand and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including the amount and timing of any payments we may be required to make, or that we may receive, in connection with the licensing, filing, prosecution, defense and enforcement of any patents or other intellectual property rights;

our need and ability to hire additional management and scientific and medical personnel;

the effect of competing technological and market developments;


our need to implement additional internal systems and infrastructure, including financial and reporting systems; and

the economic and other terms, timing and success of our existing licensing arrangements and any collaboration, licensing or other arrangements into which we may enter in the future;
