The Company was incorporated as a Pennsylvania corporation on March 2, 2006 and was converted to a Delaware corporation on December 2, 2015. The Company is utilizing a proprietary human memory B cell platform to discover and develop antibody therapeutics to improve patient care. The Company’s primary focus areas are oncology and other diseases, including COVID-19. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all its resources to research and development, raising capital, building its management team and extending its intellectual property portfolio. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, risks associated with the successful research, development and manufacturing of programs and development candidates, uncertain results of preclinical and clinical testing, development of new technological innovations and products by competitors, dependence on key personnel and third-party vendors, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, regulatory approval of programs and development candidates and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. Liquidity The Company has incurred net losses since inception, including net losses of $36.9 million and $24.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and it expects to generate losses from operations for the foreseeable future primarily due to research and development costs for its programs and development candidates. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $116.0 million. The Company expects to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. Through December 31, 2022, the Company raised an aggregate of $125.1 million in gross proceeds from sales of our common stock, Series A convertible preferred stock and warrants, warrant and stock option exercises, the issuance of convertible promissory notes, and the Payment Protection, or PPP, loan that was forgiven in May 2021. In addition, in July 2020, the Company entered into an Other Transaction Authority for Prototype Agreement, or the OTA Agreement, with the Department of Defense, or the DoD, to fund the Company’s efforts in developing an antibody cocktail therapeutic to treat COVID-19. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has received $17.6 million in expense reimbursement from the DoD under the OTA Agreement. On October 1, 2021, the Company entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement, or the ATM Agreement, with Jefferies Group LLC, which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations in the ATM Agreement, the Company may elect, from time to time, to offer and sell shares of common stock under the registration statement having an aggregate offering price of up to $75.0 million through Jefferies Group LLC acting as sales agent. The Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on October 14, 2021, pursuant to which the Company may issue from time-to-time securities with an aggregate value of up to $200.0 million. The Company has not sold any shares under the ATM Agreement or the shelf registration statement as of December 31, 2022. On January 4, 2023, the Company entered into a collaboration and option agreement, or the Collaboration Agreement, with AbbVie Global Enterprises Ltd, or AbbVie, directed to the discovery of up to 10 novel target-antibody pairs leveraging our discovery engine. Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, Immunome will grant AbbVie the option to purchase worldwide rights for up to 10 novel target-antibody pairs arising from the selected tumors. AbbVie will pay the Company an option exercise fee in the low single digit millions for each of the validated target pairs for which it exercises an option. The Company received a non-refundable upfront payment of $30.0 million in January 2023 and will be eligible to receive additional platform access payments in the aggregate amount of up to $70.0 million based on AbbVie’s election for the Company to continue research using its discovery engine. The Company is also eligible to receive development and first commercial sale milestones of up to $120.0 million per target with respect to certain products derived from target-antibody pairs that AbbVie elects to purchase, sales-based milestones based on achievement of specified levels of net sales of products up to $150.0 million in the aggregate per target, and tiered low single digit royalties on net sales of products. The Company is potentially eligible to receive up to $2.8 billion from AbbVie under the Collaboration Agreement from the sources described above. However, there are no assurances that the Company will receive additional payments from AbbVie beyond the $30.0 million upfront payment. The Company expects that its cash as of December 31, 2022, together with the $30.0 million received in January 2023 from AbbVie under the Collaboration Agreement, will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least 12 months from the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Beyond that date, more funding will be necessary to fund additional research and development activities and operations in order to pursue the Company’s growth strategy. If the Company cannot obtain the necessary funding, it will need to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its research and development programs or enter into collaborations with third parties relative to potential programs, products or technologies that it might otherwise seek to progress independently (or enter into these collaborations sooner than it might otherwise have intended to); consider various other strategic alternatives, including a possible merger or sale of the Company; or reduce or cease operations. If the Company engages in collaborations under these circumstances, it may receive lower consideration than if it had not entered into such arrangements or if it entered into such arrangements at later stages in the research and development process. Additionally, volatility in the capital markets generally and the biotechnology sector specifically, as well as general economic conditions in the United States may be a significant obstacle to raising the required funds on satisfactory terms, if at all. Operations of the Company are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including various internal and external factors that will affect whether and when the Company’s programs and development candidates become approved drugs and how significant their market share will be, many of which are outside of the Company’s control. The length of time and cost of developing and commercializing these programs and development candidates and/or failure of them at any stage of the drug approval process will materially affect the Company’s financial condition and future operations. The Company is also subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Although there is uncertainty as to the extent of the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the continued impact to capital markets and economies worldwide in the form of economic slowdowns or recession, there has not been a significant impact to the Company’s operations or financial statements to date.
