16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2025, through the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were included on Form 10-Q and filed with the SEC. Other than the matter described below, there are no additional subsequent events identified that would require disclosure in these financial statements.

Transition of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to Executive Chairman and related Equity Modification

As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 17, 2025, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) on July 11, 2025, elected Jennifer A. Lloyd, PhD, as the Company’s President and CEO and appointed her to the Board, in each case, effective upon Dr. Lloyd’s commencement of employment with the Company on July 21, 2025. Also, on July 11, 2025, Balu Balakrishnan agreed to resign from his position as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company as of the end of the day immediately prior to Dr. Lloyd’s commencement of employment with the Company.

Mr. Balakrishnan plans to serve as executive chairman of the Board on a transitional basis until February 2026 in order to facilitate the leadership transition, ensure continuity and support the new leadership team. Thereafter, Mr. Balakrishnan would remain a non-executive member of the Board subject to the applicable nomination process and stockholder approval. In connection with Mr. Balakrishnan’s retirement, the Company and Mr. Balakrishnan entered into a transition agreement and a consulting agreement. Each of Mr. Balakrishnan’s outstanding equity awards by their original terms are eligible to vest based on continuous service, subject to the applicable award agreements and terms and conditions of the Company’s 2016 Incentive Award Plan. The vast majority of these awards are subject to performance criteria established at the time of grant and will only be earned if such criteria are met at the conclusion of the performance period.

As the services to be performed by Mr. Balakrishnan under the transition agreement and the consulting agreement do not qualify as “substantive services” under ASC 718, Compensation–Stock Compensation, the continued vesting of the outstanding equity awards represents a modification of the original awards. The Company expects to record in the third quarter of 2025, net stock-based compensation expense of approximately $15 million related to the award modification, with such amount representing an acceleration of expense in respect of all of Mr. Balakrishnan’s outstanding equity awards. Subsequent changes in performance criteria measurement could result in an adjustment to expense in future periods.
