Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission for interim financial information.

The unaudited condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 has been derived from the financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Short-Term Investments Short-term investments consist of debt securities, classified as available-for-sale available-for-sale As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, accrued interest receivables on short-term investments were $0.1 million and are included in prepaid expenses and other current Restricted Cash Restricted cash is comprised of cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements. Restricted cash as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was $0.3 million consisting non-current Deferred Offering Costs Deferred offering costs, consisting of legal, accounting and other fees and costs relating to the Company’s IPO, are capitalized and recorded in the condensed balance sheets. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, deferred offering costs of $2.8 million and $0 million, respectively, were recorded in the condensed balance sheets. Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents are only included when their effect is dilutive. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities include shares of its convertible preferred stock, as well as outstanding stock options and restricted stock units under the Company’s equity incentive plan and have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as they would be anti-dilutive to the net loss per share. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position. The following table sets forth the outstanding potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive: AS OF JUNE 30, AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 2023 Convertible preferred stock 6,160,385 6,160,385 Unvested restricted stock units 22,514 22,514 Options to purchase common stock 1,803,867 1,315,726 SAFEs (1) — — Total 7,986,766 7,498,625 (1) The contingently convertible SAFEs were not included for purposes of calculating the number of diluted shares outstanding as of June 30, 2024, as the number of dilutive shares is based on a conversion ratio associated with the pricing of a future financing or liquidation event. Therefore, the contingently convertible SAFEs’ conversion ratio, and the resulting number of dilutive shares, is not determinable until the contingency is resolved. If the contingency were to have been resolved as of June 30, 2024, the number of anti-dilutive shares that would have been excluded in the calculation of dilutive net loss per share, when applying the respective conversion ratio, is estimated as 2.1 Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) 815-40): 2020-06”). 2020-06 2020-06 de 2020-06 2020-06 2020-06 2020-06 |

Fair Value Measurements The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates their respective levels within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands): AS OF JUNE 30, 2024 CLASSIFICATION TOTAL LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 Assets Money market funds Cash and cash equivalents $ 25,872 $ 25,872 $ — $ — Government and government agency bonds Short-term investments 12,308 — 12,308 — Total assets $ 38,180 $ 25,872 $ 12,308 $ — Liabilities SAFEs Liabilities $ 27,720 $ — $ — $ 27,720 Total liabilities $ 27,720 $ — $ — $ 27,720 AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 CLASSIFICATION TOTAL LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 Assets Money market funds Cash and cash equivalents $ 28,517 $ 28,517 $ — $ — Commercial paper Short-term investments 2,090 — 2,090 — Government and government agency bonds Short-term investments 19,982 — 19,982 — Corporate bonds Short-term investments 1,395 — 1,395 — Total assets $ 51,984 $ 28,517 $ 23,467 $ — Liabilities SAFEs Liabilities $ 25,100 $ — $ — $ 25,100 Total liabilities $ 25,100 $ — $ — $ 25,100 The carrying amounts of all cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. Short-Term Investments The Company’s assets with a fair value categorized as Level 2 withing the fair value hierarchy consist of commercial paper, government and government agency bonds, and corporate bonds. These assets have been initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued at the end of each reporting period utilizing third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models whereby all significant inputs, including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers, or other market-related data, are observable. Simple Agreements for Future Equity The estimated fair value of the SAFEs (see Note 7) is determined based on the aggregated, probability-weighted average of the outcomes of certain scenarios, including: (i) equity financing, with conversion of the SAFEs into a number of shares of convertible preferred stock at the lower of the post-money valuation cap price of $48.25 and the discount price (the lowest price of the standard convertible preferred stock sold in the equity financing multiplied by the specified discount rate of 85%); (ii) liquidity event (change of control, direct listing, or an initial public offering,) with mandatory conversion to common stock at the lower of post-money valuation cap price of $48.25 and discount price (price of the common stock multiplied by the discount rate of 85%); and (iii) dissolution event, with SAFE holders automatically entitled to receive cash payments equal to the purchase amount, prior to and in preference to any distribution of any assets or surplus funds to the holders of convertible preferred and common stock. On May 29, 2024, the Company executed an amendment to the SAFEs (the “SAFE Amendment”). The SAFE Amendment amended the definition of liquidity event to exclude an initial public offering and amended the definition of the discount price under an initial public offering to the lower of (a) the price per share of common stock sold to the public by the underwriters in the initial public offering multiplied by the discount rate of 85% or (b) the post-money valuation cap price of $48.25. The combined value of the probability-weighted average of those outcomes is then discounted back to each reporting period in which the SAFEs are outstanding, in each case based on a risk-adjusted discount rate estimated based on the implied interest rate using the changes in observed interest rates of corporate debt that the Company believes is appropriate for those probability-adjusted cash flows. Fair value measurements associated with SAFEs were determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Increases and decreases in the fair value of the SAFEs can result from updates to assumptions such as expected timing and probability of a qualified financing event, or changes in discount rates, among other assumptions. Based on management’s assessment of the valuation of the SAFEs, performed by the Company’s third-party valuation specialists, none of the changes in the fair value of those instruments were due to changes in the Company’s own credit risk for the reporting periods presented. Judgement is used in determining these assumptions as of the initial valuation date and at each subsequent reporting period. Changes or updates to assumptions could have a material impact on the reported fair value, and the change in fair value of SAFEs and the results of operations in any given period.

Simple Agreement for Future Equity | 7. Simple Agreement for Future Equity During 2023, the Company entered into SAFEs with various existing investors and related parties with aggregate gross proceeds of $24.4 million. The SAFEs granted investors with rights to participate in a future equity financing. The SAFEs have no maturity dates and bear no interest. Upon an equity financing, the SAFEs will automatically convert into the type of stock issued in the financing at a per share conversion price equal to the greater of (i) the purchase amount of the SAFEs divided by the post-money valuation cap price of $48.25 per share, or (ii) the purchase amount of the SAFEs divided by the 85% per share price paid by investors in the financing. Upon an initial public offering, the SAFEs will automatically convert into shares of common stock equal to the purchase amount of the SAFE divided by the discount price (the lower of (a) the price per share of common stock sold to the public by the underwriters in the initial public offering multiplied by the discount rate of 85% or (b) the post-money valuation cap price of $48.25 per share). Other conversion events include liquidity events (a change of control or direct listing). Upon a liquidity event, each investor will automatically be entitled to receive a portion of proceeds equal to the greater of (i) the purchase amounts of the SAFEs, or (ii) the amount payable in the number of common shares equal to the purchase amount of the SAFEs divided by the 85% per share price. Upon a dissolution event and to the extent sufficient funds are available, the holders of SAFEs shall be entitled to receive cash payments equal to the purchase amount, prior to and in preference to any distribution of any assets or surplus funds to the holders of convertible preferred and common stock |

Collaboration and License Agreements | 8. Collaboration and License Agreements The Company has entered into several agreements with GC Cell and related entities concerning its NK cell therapy platform and manufacturing of its core products, as described below. Option and License Agreement with GC Cell In September 2019, the Company entered into an option and license agreement with GC Cell Corporation (“GC Cell”), formerly Green Cross Cell Corporation, as amended in June 2020 and February 2022 (the “Core Agreement”). Under the Core Agreement, GC Cell granted the Company an exclusive, royalty-bearing license, with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers, under certain intellectual property and technology owned or controlled by GC Cell relating to non-genetically Under the Core Agreement, GC Cell agreed to conduct a discovery, research, preclinical development, and manufacturing program under a plan approved by a Joint Steering Committee (the “JSC”), to generate and identify product candidates for nomination as option candidates.

Accordingly, the Company has certain diligence obligations and must use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and seek regulatory approval for each licensed product in at least one indication in the United States and the European Union, and following regulatory approval in a country, to commercialize such licensed product in at least one indication in such country. The Core Agreement provides that the Company has the right to engage GC Cell or its appropriate affiliate to provide research and manufacturing services for the licensed products being developed by the Company in the Artiva Territory under separately executed service agreements. Under the Core Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay a low single-digit percentage royalty on net sales of any licensed products, the manufacture, use or sale of which is claimed by or uses any Core IP. The royalty rate is subject to reduction under certain scenarios, and royalties are payable on a product-by-product country-by-country last-to-expire AB-101 In November 2019, the Company entered into a license agreement with GC Cell for its AB-101 (the “AB-101 AB-101 AB-101 AB-101.

The agreement Master Manufacturing Agreement with GC Cell In March 2020, the Company entered into a Master Agreement for Manufacturing Services (the “Manufacturing Agreement”) with GC Cell, under which GC Cell agreed to manufacture specified products under individual work orders for use in the Company’s Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials. Each work order will contain an estimated budget of service fees and out-of-pocket Merck Exclusive License and Collaboration Agreement In January 2021, the Company entered into the Exclusive License and Research Collaboration Agreement (the “Merck Collaboration Agreement”) with Merck for the discovery, development, manufacture and commercialization of CAR-NK Concurrent with entering into the Merck Collaboration Agreement, the Company also entered into an agreement with GC Cell to obtain exclusive, worldwide rights to GC Cell’s CAR-NK In October 2023, the Merck Collaboration Agreement and development thereunder was terminated by Merck. The Company applied ASC 808 to the Merck Collaboration Agreement and determined that the agreements were applicable to such guidance. The Company concluded that Merck represented a customer and applied relevant guidance from ASC 606 to account for the Merck Collaboration Agreement. In accordance with this guidance, the Company identified its performance obligations, including its grant of a license to Merck to certain of its intellectual property subject to certain conditions, transfer of technology, its conduct of research services, and its participation in a joint research committee. The Company determined that its grant of a license to Merck to certain of its intellectual property subject to certain conditions was not distinct from other performance obligations because such grant is dependent on the conduct and results of the research services. Additionally, the Company determined that its conduct of research services was not distinct from other performance obligations since the research could not be conducted without also delivering the rights to the license, developed intellectual property and technology transfer. Accordingly, the Company determined that all performance obligations should be accounted for as one combined performance obligation for each target program, and that the combined performance obligation is transferred over the expected term of the conduct of the research services, which is collectively estimated to be four years, which represents the combined terms for the research programs (“Expected Research Term”). The Company assessed the upfront, non-refundable non-creditable The Company also assessed the effects of the variable consideration under the Merck In accordance with ASC 606, the Company determined that the initial transaction price under the Merck non-refundable non-creditable The Company assessed the payments made to GC Cell in connection with the Partnered Program License Agreement and concluded that all payments received from Merck and paid to GC Cell should be reflected within the Company’s condensed financial statements on a gross basis. The Company recognized payments from Merck as collaboration revenue as the performance obligation was satisfied over time, and payments made to GC Cell were recognized as research and development expense, as incurred. Th Affimed Collaboration Agreement On November 1, 2022, the Company entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with Affimed GmbH, a subsidiary of Affimed N.V. (“Affimed”) for the clinical development and commercialization of a combination therapy, for any uses in humans or animals, comprising Affimed’s product consisting of an innate cell engager referred to as “AFM13” and the Company’s product containing an NK cell referred to as AB-101 The Company has granted Affimed, with respect to the development of the combination therapy an exclusive, and with respect to the promotion of the combination therapy under the Affimed Collaboration Agreement a non-exclusive, non-transferable non-sublicensable know-how. non-exclusive, non-transferable non-sublicensable know-how The financial terms of the Affimed Collaboration Agreement provides that Affimed shall be responsible for all costs associated with the development of the combination therapy (including all clinical trial costs), except that Affimed and the Company shall each bear 50% of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of any confirmatory combination therapy clinical trial required by the FDA. The Company shall be solely responsible for all costs incurred by the Company for the supply of AB-101 IL-2 The Company incurred $0 and $0.1 million of expense in connection with the Affimed Collaboration Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $0 and $0.7 million of expense in connection with the Affimed Collaboration Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. |

The carrying value of the convertible preferred stock is not adjusted to the redemption value until the contingent redemption events are considered to be probable of occurring. The Company’s convertible preferred stock has the following rights, preferences and privileges: Dividends The Company shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any class of capital stock of the Company unless the holders of the Series A or Series B convertible preferred stock shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of the Series A convertible preferred stock equal to an amount as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. No such dividends have been declared or paid through June 30, 2024. Preferences on Liquidation The holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive liquidation preferences, in the event of a change in control, at an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Series A original issuance price of $21.93, plus any dividends declared but unpaid or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A convertible preferred stock been converted into common stock. The holders of the Series B convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive liquidation preferences, in the event of a change in control, at an amount per share equal to the greater of (1) the Series B original issuance price of $48.25, plus any dividends declared but unpaid or (2) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series B convertible preferred stock been converted into common stock. Liquidation payments to the holders of the Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock have priority and are made in preference to any payments to the holders of common stock. After full payment of the liquidation preference to the holders of the Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock, the remaining assets, if any, will be distributed ratably to the holders of the common stock. Conversion Rights The shares of Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock are convertible into an equal number of shares of common stock, at the option of the holder, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The conversion rate for the convertible preferred stock is determined by dividing the original issue price by the conversion price.

The conversion rate at June 30, 2024, for the Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock was 1:1 Each share of Series A convertible preferred stock will be automatically converted into common stock at the then effective conversion rate (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the), common stock) upon: (i) the closing of the sale of common stock to the public in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at least $75.0 million of gross proceeds to the Company; or (ii) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the holders of 60% of the outstanding shares of Series A convertible preferred stock. Each share of Series B convertible preferred stock will be automatically converted into common stock at the then effective conversion rate (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to common stock) upon: (1) the closing of the sale of common stock to the public in a firm- commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at least $75.0 million of gross proceeds to the Company; or (2) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the holders of 60% of the outstanding shares of Series B convertible preferred stock. Redemption Rights The holders of Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock do not have any redemption rights, except upon certain liquidation events that are outside of the Company’s control. Voting The holder of each share of Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock generally vote together with the shares of common stock as a single class, but also have class vote approval rights as provided by the Company’s certificate of incorporation or as required by applicable law. Common Stock The voting, dividend, and liquidation rights of the holders of the common stock are subject to, and qualified by, the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock.

The Plan provides for the grant of incentiv e sto non-statutory The Plan was amended in December 2020, January 2021, July 2021, August 2022, and in April 2024. In April 2024 , the Options granted under the Plan are exercisable at various dates as determined upon grant and will expire no more than 10 years from their date of grant. The exercise price of each option shall be determined by the board of directors based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of the option grant. The exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the time the option is granted. Most option grants generally vest 25% on the first anniversary of the original vesting commencement date, with the balance vesting monthly over the remaining three years and early exercise is permitted. The vesting period generally occurs over four years unless there is a specific performance vesting trigger at which time those shares will vest when the performance trigger is probable to occur. On April 6, 2023, the Company’s board of directors approved a stock option repricing (the “Option Repricing”) in which the exercise price of certain outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2020 Plan was reduced to per share, the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2022. The Option Repricing was intended to motivate holders of options with exercise prices in excess of the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock to remain with the Company and work toward its success.

Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Accounting estimates and management judgments reflected in the condensed financial statements include: revenue recognized, the accrual of research and development expenses, common stock, stock-based compensation, SAFEs and operating lease liabilities. Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. |
Short-Term Investments | Short-Term Investments Short-term investments consist of debt securities, classified as available-for-sale available-for-sale As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, accrued interest receivables on short-term investments were $0.1 million and are included in prepaid expenses and other current |

Deferred Offering Costs | Deferred Offering Costs Deferred offering costs, consisting of legal, accounting and other fees and costs relating to the Company’s IPO, are capitalized and recorded in the condensed balance sheets. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, deferred offering costs of $2.8 million and $0 million, respectively, were recorded in the condensed balance sheets. |
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents are only included when their effect is dilutive. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities include shares of its convertible preferred stock, as well as outstanding stock options and restricted stock units under the Company’s equity incentive plan and have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as they would be anti-dilutive to the net loss per share. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position. The following table sets forth the outstanding potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive: AS OF JUNE 30, AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 2023 Convertible preferred stock 6,160,385 6,160,385 Unvested restricted stock units 22,514 22,514 Options to purchase common stock 1,803,867 1,315,726 SAFEs (1) — — Total 7,986,766 7,498,625 (1) The contingently convertible SAFEs were not included for purposes of calculating the number of diluted shares outstanding as of June 30, 2024, as the number of dilutive shares is based on a conversion ratio associated with the pricing of a future financing or liquidation event. Therefore, the contingently convertible SAFEs’ conversion ratio, and the resulting number of dilutive shares, is not determinable until the contingency is resolved. If the contingency were to have been resolved as of June 30, 2024, the number of anti-dilutive shares that would have been excluded in the calculation of dilutive net loss per share, when applying the respective conversion ratio, is estimated as 2.1 |
