LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On March 31, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $355.6 million. Cash used in operations of $19.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 principally reflected general and administrative expenses related to our corporate operations, research and development activities and sales and marketing activities related to our pharmaceutical and diagnostic business.

Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 of $5.2 million primarily reflected the repurchase of Common Stock for $4.8 million and net repayments on our lines of credit of $0.1 million. We have historically not generated sustained positive cash flow sufficient to offset our operating and other expenses, and our primary sources of cash have been from the public and private placement of equity and debt, sale of assets, as well as credit facilities available to us.

On April 4, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized an increase of $100.0 million to the Company’s existing Common Stock repurchase program, bringing the aggregate capacity of the program to $200.0 million. Approximately $92.0 million of Common Stock had been repurchased under the existing program since its authorization in July 2024. Under this program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time through various methods, including open market purchases, block trades, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases, as well as pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act, and otherwise in compliance with applicable laws. The timing and amount of any repurchases is subject to general market conditions, the Company's capital management, investment opportunities, and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, has no time limit, and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion.

In September 2024, ModeX entered into two amendments to modify the scope and funding of the BARDA Contract. The BARDA Amendments structured the funding thereunder as cost-plus-fixed-fee, which included a $26.9 million supplement to further advance the development of COVID-19 multispecific antibodies and provided $24.1 million for the development of a multispecific protein antibody for influenza or another pathogen. In December 2025, the Company entered into a further bilateral modification to de-scope all mRNA development-related efforts using SARS-CoV-2 as an antigen model, as these activities were no longer a priority for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate amount remaining to be funded by BARDA, which is subject to performance obligations and excluding unexercised contract options, was $45.7 million.
