MINK THERAPEUTICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1) Description of Business

MiNK Therapeutics, Inc. (MiNK or the Company) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing allogeneic invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell therapies to treat cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.

The Company has incurred losses since inception and, as of September 30, 2021, had an accumulated deficit of $77.2 million. Since inception until the completion of the Company’s initial public offering (see Note 13 to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), the Company financed its operations primarily through funding from Agenus Inc. (Agenus), its parent company. MiNK expects to continue incurring operating losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future. Based on the Company’s current plans and projections, MiNK believes its quarter end cash balance, plus the proceeds received from its initial public offering, will be sufficient to satisfy its liquidity requirements for more than one year from when these financial statements were issued.

Management continually addresses the Company’s liquidity position and adjusts spending as needed in order to preserve liquidity. The Company’s future liquidity needs will be determined primarily by the success of its operations with respect to the progression of the Company’s product candidates and key development and regulatory events in the future. Potential sources of additional funding for the Company include: (1) pursuing collaboration, out-licensing and/or partnering opportunities for the Company’s portfolio programs and product candidates with one or more third parties, (2) securing additional debt financing and/or (3) selling equity securities.

MiNK’s product candidates are in various stages of development and significant additional expenditures will be required if the Company starts new trials, encounters delays in its programs, applies for regulatory approvals, continues development of its technologies, expands its operations, and/or brings its product candidates to market. The eventual total cost of each clinical trial is dependent on a number of factors such as trial design, length of the trial, number of clinical sites, and number of patients. The process of obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals for new therapeutic products is lengthy, expensive, and uncertain. Because all of the Company’s programs are at an early stage of clinical development, the Company is unable to reliably estimate the cost of completing its research and development programs or the timing for bringing such programs to various markets or substantial partnering or out-licensing arrangements, and, therefore, when, if ever, material cash inflows are likely to commence.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (annual financial statements), included in the Company’s Amended Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 12, 2021. Since the date of those financial statements, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

For the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, the local currency is the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of its foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using rates in effect at the balance sheet date while expenses are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during the period. The cumulative translation adjustment resulting from changes in exchange rates are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in total stockholders’ deficit.

(3) Net Loss Per Share

Basic income and loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of outstanding instruments such as stock options. Because the Company reported a net loss for all periods presented, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share, as the effect of utilizing the fully diluted share count would have reduced the net loss per common share. Therefore, the following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, as they would be anti-dilutive:

Other current liabilities of $5.4 million and $5.7 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, consisted entirely of the repayable advance received under the Company’s research and development agreement with the Belgium Walloon Region Government. During 2020, the Company discontinued research efforts related to this program and is evaluating its options in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

(6) Share-based Compensation Plans

The Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan provided for the grant of incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, unrestricted stock and other equity-based awards, such as stock appreciation rights, and stock units including restricted stock units for up to 13,915,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and other similar events).

In September 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (2021 Plan). The 2021 Plan provides for the granting of equity-based awards to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants. The provisions of the plan allow for automatic annual increases for the shares reserved under the 2021 Plan.

In September 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (2021 ESPP). The 2021 ESPP initially provides for the issuance of up to 375,000 shares of common stock to employees. The provisions of the 2021 ESPP provide for automatic annual increases for shares reserved under the 2021 ESPP.

7


The Company primarily uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value options granted to employees and non-employees, as well as options granted to members of the Company’s Board of Directors. All stock option grants have 10-year terms and generally vest ratably over a 3 or 4-year period.
