1. Nature of Business

 

Celularity Inc., (“Celularity” or the “Company”), formerly known as GX Acquisition Corp. (“GX”), was a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on August 24, 2018. The Company was formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses.

 

On July 16, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated January 8, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among GX, various merger entities, and the entity formerly known as Celularity Inc., incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on August 29, 2016 (“Legacy Celularity”). Upon completion of the merger transaction, GX changed its name to Celularity Inc.

 

Description of Business

 

Celularity is a cell therapy and regenerative medicine company focused on addressing aging related diseases including cancer and degenerative diseases. Celularity is headquartered in Florham Park, NJ. Legacy Celularity acquired Anthrogenesis Corporation (“Anthrogenesis”) in August 2017 from Celgene Corporation (“Celgene”), a global biotechnology company that merged with Bristol Myers Squibb Company. Previously, Anthrogenesis operated as Celgene Cellular Therapeutics, Celgene’s cell therapy division.

 

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 governmental regulations and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. Drug candidates currently under development will require significant additional approval prior to commercialization, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval. 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 cellular therapy product sales.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

As an emerging clinical-stage biotechnology company, Celularity is subject to certain inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the development of an enterprise. In this regard, since the Company’s inception, substantially all of management’s efforts have been devoted to making investments in research and development including basic scientific research into placentally-derived allogeneic cells, pre-clinical studies to support its current and future clinical programs in cellular therapeutics, and clinical development of its cell programs as well as facilities and selling, general and administrative expenses that support its core business operations (collectively, the “investments”), all at the expense of the Company’s short-term profitability. The Company has historically funded these investments through limited revenues generated from its biobanking and degenerative disease businesses and issuances of equity and debt securities to public and private investors (these issuances are collectively referred to as “outside capital”). Notwithstanding these efforts, management can provide no assurance that the Company’s research and development and commercialization efforts will be successfully completed, or that adequate protection of the Company’s intellectual property will be adequately maintained. Even if these efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate significant sales or operate in a profitable manner to sustain the Company’s operations without needing to continue to rely on outside capital.

 

As of the date the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, or the issuance date, management evaluated the significance of the following adverse conditions and events in considering its ability to continue as a going concern:

 

Since its inception, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and net cash used in operating activities. For the six months ending June 30, 2025, the Company incurred an operating loss of $26,350 and net cash used in operating activities of $3,992. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $944,025. The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses and use net cash for operations for the foreseeable future.

 

The Company expects to incur substantial expenditures to fund its investments for the foreseeable future. In order to fund these investments, the Company will need to secure additional sources of outside capital. While the Company is actively seeking to secure additional outside capital (and has historically been able to successfully secure such capital), as of the issuance date, additional outside capital sufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months has not been secured or was deemed probable of being secured. In addition, management can provide no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional outside capital in the future or on terms that are acceptable to the Company. Absent the ability to secure additional outside capital in the very near term, the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due over the next 12 months beyond the issuance date.

 

 

As of the issuance date, the Company had approximately $6.3 million of current debt outstanding. As disclosed in Note 10, a substantial portion of the Company’s outstanding debt is subject to forbearance agreements. In the event the terms of the forbearance agreements are not met and/or the outstanding borrowings are not repaid, the lenders may, at their discretion, exercise all of their rights and remedies under the loan agreements which may include, among other things, seizing the Company’s assets and/or forcing the Company into liquidation.

 

On May 28, 2025, the Company received notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq (the “Notice’) that as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, it no longer complied with the continued listing requirements under the timely filing criteria outlined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(d)(2), this delinquency serves as basis for delisting the Company’s common stock from trading. On August 1, 2025, the Company submitted its plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Under its plan, the Company requested an extension of 180 days from the date of the Notice to implement the plan. On August 11, 2025, Nasdaq notified us of its decision to grant the Company an exception to enable it to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Under the terms of the exception, the Company has until August 31, 2025, to file the Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025. In the event the Company does not satisfy the terms of the exception, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a Hearings Panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements. If the Company is unable to regain compliance, the Company’s securities will be delisted from Nasdaq, which such delisting could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In the event the Company is unable to secure additional outside capital to fund the Company’s obligations when they become due over the next 12 months beyond the issuance date, which includes the funds needed to repay the Company’s outstanding debt, management will be required to seek other strategic alternatives, which may include, among others, a significant curtailment of the Company’s operations, a sale of certain of the Company’s assets, a sale of the entire Company to strategic or financial investors, and/or allowing the Company to become insolvent by filing for bankruptcy protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

 

These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
