Organization and Description of the Business

1. Organization and Description of the Business

 

Landos Biopharma, Inc. (“Landos” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in January 2017 and is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of oral therapeutics for patients with autoimmune diseases. The Company has several active development programs, each discovered internally, targeting novel pathways at the interface of immunity and metabolism.

 

Initial Public Offering

 

In February 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO") in which it sold 6,250,000 shares of common stock at an initial public offering price of $16.00 per share. Proceeds from the IPO, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and offering costs paid by the Company, were approximately $90.5 million.

 

In addition, in connection with the completion of the Company’s IPO, all outstanding shares of the Company's convertible preferred stock were converted into 20,549,478 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Stock Split

 

In January 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 1.8249-for-1 stock split of the Company’s outstanding common shares. Also in January 2021, the Company amended its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to affect the stock split. The stock split resulted in an adjustment to the preferred share conversion price to reflect a proportional increase in the number of common shares to be issued upon conversion. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the stock split for all periods presented.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $73.8 million, which it believes will be sufficient to fund its planned operations into the second half of 2023.

 

Since the Company’s inception in 2017, it has funded operations through the issuance of convertible preferred stock and convertible promissory notes, the proceeds from its IPO, and the upfront payment from the license and collaboration agreement (Note 8). As of March 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $109.0 million and expects to incur substantial operating losses for at least the next several years. As such, the Company will need to raise additional capital to initiate and complete its planned clinical trials, to continue and expand its research and development operations that support its planned discovery, development and clinical and regulatory activities, and to adequately prepare for commercialization of its product candidates that may achieve regulatory approval in the future.
