1. Organization

Description of Business

Turning Point Therapeutics, Inc. (the Company) was organized in October 2013 and commenced operations in 2014. The Company is a clinical-stage precision oncology company designing and developing novel targeted therapies for cancer treatment. The Company’s principal operations are in the United States and the Company operates in one segment with its headquarters in San Diego, California.

The Company’s primary activities since inception have been to build infrastructure, conduct research and development, including clinical trials, perform business and financial planning, and raise capital.

Pending Acquisition by Bristol-Myers Squibb

On June 2, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, a Delaware corporation (Bristol-Myers Squibb), and Rhumba Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb (Purchaser). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, on June 17, 2022, Purchaser commenced a cash tender offer (the Offer) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock for $76.00 per share, in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding of taxes. Following the completion of the Offer, Purchaser will merge with and into the Company (the Merger), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb. The Merger is anticipated to close in the third quarter of 2022.

 

For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded transaction costs of approximately $17.7 million in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss, primarily for outside legal and external financial advisory fees associated with the pending acquisition by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

Liquidity

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including concentration on the Company’s lead development program, which has significant competition from cancer therapies in development by other companies or already approved for sale by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. Drug candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if the Company’s drug development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales.

The COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing geopolitical events continue to evolve and have already resulted in a significant disruption of global financial markets. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and further disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets in the United States and worldwide resulting from the pandemic or geopolitical actions. If such further disruption occurs, the Company could experience an inability to access additional capital.

The Company determined that there are no conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
