XERIS BIOPHARMA HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and nature of the business
Nature of business
Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc. ("Xeris Biopharma" or the "Company") is a growth-oriented biopharmaceutical company committed to improving patients' lives by developing and commercializing clinically meaningful products across a range of therapies. The Company currently has three commercially available products: Gvoke, a ready-to-use, liquid-stable glucagon for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia; Recorlev, a cortisol synthesis inhibitor for the treatment of endogenous hypercortisolemia in adult patients with Cushing's syndrome approved by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") in December 2021; and Keveyis, the first therapy approved in the United States to treat hyperkalemic, hypokalemic, and related variants of Primary Periodic Paralysis ("PPP"). The Company also has a pipeline of development programs to bring new products forward using its proprietary formulation science, XeriSol and XeriJect.
As used herein, the "Company" or "Xeris" refers to Xeris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Xeris Pharma") when referring to periods prior to the acquisition of Strongbridge Biopharma plc ("Strongbridge") on October 5, 2021 and to Xeris Biopharma when referring to periods on or subsequent to October 5, 2021.
Throughout this document, unless otherwise noted, references to Gvoke include Gvoke PFS, Gvoke HypoPen, Gvoke Kit and Ogluo (glucagon).
The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other specialty pharmaceutical companies, including, but not limited to, successful commercialization and market acceptance of available products and any future products, if and when approved, successful development of product candidates, the development of new technological innovations by competitors, and protection of intellectual property.
Liquidity and capital resources
The Company has incurred operating losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $651.0 million as of June 30, 2024. The Company expects to continue to incur net losses for at least the next 12 months beyond the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Based on the Company's current operating plans and existing working capital at June 30, 2024, the Company believes that its cash resources are sufficient to sustain operations and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
If needed, the Company may elect to finance its operations through equity or debt financing along with revenues. There can be no assurance that such funding may be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all, or that the Company will be able to successfully market and sell Gvoke, Recorlev and Keveyis. Market volatility resulting from geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas, rising interest rates, inflationary pressures, the tightening of lending standards, any further deterioration in the macroeconomic economy or financial services industry resulting from actual or potential bank failures, or other factors could also adversely impact the Company's ability to access capital as and when needed. The issuance of equity securities may result in dilution to stockholders. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of additional debt, which may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the Company's common stockholders, the terms of the debt could impose significant restrictions on the Company's operations. The failure to raise funds as and when needed could have a negative impact on the Company's financial condition and ability to pursue its business strategies. If additional funding is not secured when required, the Company may need to delay or curtail its operations until such funding is received, which would have a material adverse impact on the business prospects and results of operations.
Note 2. Basis of presentation and summary of significant accounting policies and estimates
Basis of presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), including those for interim financial information, and with the instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 6, 2024.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, have been condensed or omitted.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").
Some items in the prior year financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassification had no effect on prior year net income or stockholders’ equity.
Basis of consolidation
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses included in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
The Company applies the guidance in ASC 606, Revenue Recognition, to all contracts with customers within the scope of the standard.
The Company sells product primarily to wholesalers or a specialty pharmacy that subsequently resell to retail pharmacies or patients. The Company enters into arrangements with payors, group purchasing organizations, and healthcare providers that provide for government-mandated or privately-negotiated rebates, chargebacks and discounts related to the Company's products. The Company currently sells Gvoke, Recorlev and Keveyis in the United States only.
Revenue is recognized when the Company's customer (e.g., a wholesaler or specialty pharmacy) obtains control of promised goods or services, which is when the Company's obligations under the terms of the contract with the customer are satisfied, based on the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
Revenues are recorded at the net product sales price, which includes estimated allowances for patient copay assistance programs, prompt payment discounts, payor rebates, chargebacks, service fees, and product returns, all of which are recorded at the time of sale to the pharmaceutical wholesaler or other customer. The Company applies significant judgments and estimates in determining some of these allowances. If actual results differ from its estimates, adjustments are made to these allowances in the period in which the actual results or updates to estimates become known.
Such revenue is reported as product revenue, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Additionally, the Company earns revenue from research collaborations for the use of Xeris' proprietary formulation technology platforms and royalties from branded products. Such revenue is recognized as earned in accordance with contract terms when it can be reasonably estimated and collectability is reasonably assured. This revenue is reported as royalty, contract and other revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Concentration of credit risk
For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, four customers accounted for 97% of the Company's gross product revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, four customers accounted for 97% and 96% of the Company's gross product revenue, respectively. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the same four customers accounted for 96% and 99% of the trade accounts receivable, net, respectively.
New accounting pronouncements
Adopted accounting standard
In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-03, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This standard amends various SEC paragraphs in the Accounting Standards Codification to primarily reflect the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120. Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120 provides guidance to companies issuing share-based awards shortly before announcing material, nonpublic information to consider such material nonpublic information to adjust observable market prices if the release of material nonpublic information is expected to affect the share price. The standard does not provide any new guidance so there is no transition or effective date associated with it and therefore, the Company adopted this standard with no impact on the Company's financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This standard eliminates certain accounting models to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments, expands the disclosure requirements related to the terms and features of convertible instruments, and amends the guidance for the
7

(unaudited)
derivatives scope exception for contracts settled in an entity's own equity. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. This standard enhances the consistency of earnings-per-share ("EPS") calculations by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method and that the effect of potential share settlement be included in diluted EPS calculations and disclosures. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2024. Adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows since the Company did not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt but accounted for the convertible debt instrument wholly as debt.
Pending accounting standards
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concept Statements. This standard amends the Codification to remove references to various concepts statements and impacts a variety of topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance, but in most instances the references removed are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. Generally, the amendments in this standard are not intended to result in significant accounting changes for most entities. The standard is effective January 1, 2025 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This standard expands the requirements for income tax disclosures in order to provide greater transparency. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively. The Company is evaluating the timing and effects of the adoption of this standard on the Company's disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Segment Reporting Disclosures. This standard requires an entity to provide more detailed information about its reportable segment expenses that are included within management's measurement of profit and loss and will require certain annual disclosures to be provided on an interim basis. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company in 2025 for annual reporting and in 2026 for interim reporting, with early adoption permitted beginning in 2024, and is required to be applied using the full retrospective method of transition. The Company is evaluating the timing and effects of the adoption of this standard on the Company's segment disclosures.
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This Standard modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification to align with the SEC's regulations. The ASU also makes those requirements applicable to entities that were not previously subject to the SEC's requirements. The ASU is effective for the Company two years after the effective date to remove the related disclosure from Regulation S-X or S-K. As of the date these financial statements have been made available for issuance, the SEC has not yet removed any related disclosure. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This standard provides optional expedients for the application of GAAP, if certain criteria are met, to contracts and other transactions that reference London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or other reference rates that are expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This standard is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. On December 21, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extends the period of time entities can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance under ASU 2020-04 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Note 4. Short-term investments
The Company classifies investments in debt securities as available-for-sale. Debt securities are comprised of liquid investments that are highly rated securities and, as of June 30, 2024, consist of U.S. government securities, all with remaining maturities of less than one year. Debt securities as of June 30, 2024 had an average remaining maturity of 0.2 years. The debt securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The cost of short-term investments is adjusted for amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts to maturity, and such amortization or accretion, as well as interest income, are included in interest and other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Refer to "Note 11 - Fair value measurements," for information related to the fair value measurements and valuation methods utilized.

Allowance for Credit Losses
For available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether they are intended to be sold, or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through earnings. For available-for-sale securities that do not meet the above criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the severity of the impairment, any changes in interest rates, market conditions, changes to the underlying credit ratings and forecasted recovery, among other factors.

Convertible senior notes
In June 2020, Xeris Pharma completed a public offering of $86.3 million aggregate principal amount of Xeris Pharma's 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Convertible Notes"), including $11.3 million pursuant to the underwriters' option to purchase additional notes, which was exercised in full in July 2020. Since January 15, 2021, the 2025 Convertible Notes bear cash interest at the rate of 5.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year.
Xeris Pharma incurred debt issuance costs of $5.1 million in connection with the issuance of the 2025 Convertible Notes. At any time before the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, holders of 2025 Convertible Notes may convert their 2025 Convertible Notes at their option into shares of the Company's common stock, together, if applicable, with cash in lieu of any fractional share, at a conversion rate of 326.7974 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes. In the second half of 2020, $39.1 million in principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes were converted into 13,171,791 shares of Xeris Pharma's common stock.
On September 29, 2023, the Company completed the exchange of $32.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes for $33.6 million in aggregate principal amount of new 8.00% Convertible Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Convertible Notes" and together with the 2025 Convertible Notes, the "Convertible Notes"). As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance of the 2025 Convertible Notes was $15.2 million and the outstanding balance of the 2028 Convertible Notes was $33.6 million.
The 2025 Convertible Notes are governed by the terms of a base indenture for senior debt securities dated June 30, 2020 (the "2025 Base Indenture"), as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated June 30, 2020 (the "First Supplemental Indenture"), and the second supplemental indenture dated October 5, 2021 (the "Second Supplemental Indenture" and together with the 2025 Base Indenture and First Supplemental Indenture, the "2025 Indenture"), among the Company, as guarantor, Xeris Pharma, as issuer, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (f/k/a U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the "Trustee"). The 2028 Convertible Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture for senior debt securities dated September 29, 2023 (the "2028 Indenture" and together with the 2025 Indenture, the "Indentures") among the Company, as issuer, Xeris Pharma, as guarantor, and the Trustee. The 2025 Convertible Notes and the 2028 Convertible Notes will mature on July 15, 2025 and July 15, 2028, respectively, unless earlier converted or redeemed or repurchased.
The Convertible Notes are senior, unsecured obligations and are equal in right of payment with the issuer's existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness, senior in right of payment to its future indebtedness, if any, that is expressly subordinated to the Convertible Notes, and effectively subordinated to its existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The Convertible Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities,

including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company or Xeris Pharma is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries other than Xeris Pharma.
As a result of the transactions associated with the acquisition of Strongbridge, and pursuant to the Second Supplemental Indenture, the 2025 Convertible Notes are no longer convertible into shares of common stock of Xeris Pharma. Instead, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2025 Indenture, the 2025 Convertible Notes will be exchangeable into cash and shares of common stock of the Company in proportion to the transaction consideration payable pursuant to the transaction agreement for the acquisition of Strongbridge, and the "Reference Property" provisions in the 2025 Indenture.
The fair value of the Convertible Notes is determined using current interest rates based on credit ratings and the remaining term of maturity. As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the Convertible Notes was approximately $53.5 million. The fair value of the convertible debt was estimated using inputs for volatility, the Company's stock price, time to maturity, the risk-free rate and the Company's credit spread, some of which are considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy disclosed in "Note 11 - Fair value measurement."
Loan agreement
In September 2019, Xeris Pharma entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the "Oxford Loan Agreement") with Oxford Finance LLC ("Oxford"), as the collateral agent and a lender, and Silicon Valley Bank, as a lender ("SVB," and together with Oxford, the "Prior Lenders"). The Oxford Loan Agreement provided for the Prior Lenders to extend up to $85.0 million in term loans to Xeris Pharma in three tranches, of which $60.0 million was drawn down in September 2019.
In June 2020, Xeris Pharma paid a portion of the term loan equal to the sum of $20.0 million, plus all accrued and unpaid interest. In November 2020, an additional $3.5 million was drawn from the term loan.
In March 2022, the Company, Xeris Pharma and certain subsidiary guarantors of the Company entered into a Credit Agreement and Guaranty (as amended, modified or amended and restated from time to time, the "Hayfin Loan Agreement") with the lenders from time to time parties thereto (the "Lenders") and Hayfin Services LLP, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the "Agent"), pursuant to which the Company and its subsidiaries party thereto granted a first priority security interest on substantially all of their assets, including intellectual property, subject to certain exceptions. The Hayfin Loan Agreement provided for the Lenders to extend $100.0 million in term loans to the Company on the closing date and up to an additional $50.0 million in delayed draw term loans during the one year period immediately following the closing date (collectively, the "Loans"). On December 28, 2022, the Company borrowed the full amount of such $50.0 million delayed draw term loan under the Hayfin Loan Agreement. In conjunction with the execution of the Hayfin Loan Agreement, the Oxford Loan Agreement remaining balance of $43.5 million and fees of $2.1 million in connection with the loan repayment were paid. In addition to utilizing the proceeds to repay the obligations under the Oxford Loan Agreement in full, the proceeds were otherwise used for general corporate purposes.
On March 5, 2024, the Company, Xeris Pharma and certain subsidiary guarantors of the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") with the lenders from time to time parties thereto (the "New Lenders") and Hayfin Services LLP, as administrative agent for the New Lenders, pursuant to which the Company and its subsidiaries party thereto granted a first priority security interest on substantially all of their assets, including intellectual property, subject to certain exceptions. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Hayfin Loan Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided for the New Lenders to extend $200.0 million in term loans (the "Tranche 1 Loans") to Xeris Pharma on the closing date and $15.2 million in additional term loans (the "Tranche 2 Loans" and, together with the Tranche 1 Loans, the "2029 Loans") on any date after the closing date and through July 15, 2025. The Tranche 2 Loans may only be used to redeem the 2025 Convertible Notes. In conjunction with the execution of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the aggregate principal balance of $150.0 million plus all accrued and unpaid interest outstanding under the Hayfin Loan Agreement was continued under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as Tranche 1 Loans. In addition to utilizing the proceeds to repay the obligations under the Hayfin Loan Agreement in full, the proceeds of the Tranche 1 Loans will otherwise be used for general corporate purposes. After repayment, the 2029 Loans may not be re-borrowed.
The 2029 Loans will mature on March 5, 2029; provided, however, that the 2029 Loans will mature on (A) January 15, 2025 if the 2025 Convertible Notes are outstanding as of such date or (B) January 15, 2028 if the 2028 Convertible Notes are outstanding as of such date and, in both cases, either (i) the maturity date of the applicable notes has not been extended to a date not earlier than September 5, 2029 and (ii) the Company has not received net cash proceeds from one or more permitted equity raises or permitted raises of convertible debt which, together with no more than $15.6 million of cash on hand, is sufficient to redeem and discharge the 2025 Convertible Notes or the 2028 Convertible Notes, as applicable, in full.
The 2029 Loans incur interest at a floating per annum rate in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 6.95% (or 5.95% if the replacement rate is in effect) plus (ii) the greater of (x) the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR for a three month tenor (or the replacement rate, if applicable), and (y) 2.00% per annum. The remaining balance of unamortized debt issuance costs have been reflected as a direct reduction to the loan balance. The effective interest rate of the 2029 Loans, including the amortization of debt discount and debt

issuance costs, amounts to approximately 11.4%. The debt outstanding under the 2029 Loans approximates fair value due to the variable interest rate on the debt.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement allows Xeris Pharma to voluntarily prepay the outstanding amounts thereunder. Xeris Pharma is subject to an early prepayment fee equal to (i) for any prepayment that occurs on or prior to the second anniversary of the closing date, the applicable make-whole amount, (ii) for any prepayment that occurs after the second anniversary of the closing date but on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the closing date, the product of (x) the amount of any principal so prepaid, multiplied by (y) for any prepayment that occurs (A) after the second anniversary of the closing date and on or prior to the third anniversary of the closing date, five percent (5.00%), (B) after the third anniversary of the closing date and on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the closing date, three percent (3.00%), and (C) after the fourth anniversary of the closing date, zero percent (0.00%).
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, covenants that limit or restrict the Company's (and its subsidiaries) ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, merge or consolidate, make acquisitions, pay dividends or other distributions or repurchase equity, make investments, dispose of assets and enter into certain transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to certain exceptions.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was accounted for as a modification of debt in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments, thus there was no gain or loss recognized on the transaction.
The following table sets forth the Company's future minimum principal payments on the Convertible Notes and the loan facility (in thousands):

Note 11. Fair value measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level 1: Measured using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Measured using quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Measured based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
Fair value measurements are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, which may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The determination of the fair values stated below considers the market for the financial assets and liabilities, the associated credit risk and other factors as required. The Company considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Keveyis Milestone: $0.25 per CVR, upon the earlier of the first listing of any patent in the FDA's Orange Book for Keveyis by the end of 2023 or the first achievement of at least $40 million in net revenue of Keveyis in 2023;
2023 Recorlev Milestone: $0.25 per CVR, upon the first achievement of at least $40 million in net revenue of Recorlev in 2023; and

(unaudited)
As of June 30, 2024, there were approximately 74.4 million CVRs outstanding. Up to 8.1 million CVRs may be issued to holders of Strongbridge rollover options and assumed warrants upon the exercise thereof. CVRs are settleable in cash, common stock, or a combination of cash and common stock, at the Company's sole election.
Contingent consideration obligations are recorded at their estimated fair values and these obligations are revalued at each reporting period until the related contingencies are resolved. The CVRs are adjusted to fair value using the methods described above at the end of each reporting period. Significant changes which increase or decrease the probabilities of achieving the related milestones or shorten or lengthen the time required to achieve such events would result in corresponding increases or decreases in the fair values of these obligations.
The 2023 Keveyis milestone was achieved, triggering a milestone payment to CVR holders. In settlement of the milestone payment obligation, the Company issued 7,525,048 shares of common stock. The 2023 Recorlev Milestone was not achieved. A gain of $3.0 million from the remeasurement of the CVR liability was recorded in the first quarter of 2024 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as a result of changes in the Company's stock price prior to the issuance of the common stock in settlement of the CVR.
The Company has determined that the CVR liabilities' fair values are Level 3 items within the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the change in the CVR liabilities (in thousands):

Note 12. Stock compensation plan
In 2011, the Company adopted the 2011 Stock Option Issuance Plan (the "2011 Plan") and subsequently amended it to authorize the Board of Directors to issue up to 4,714,982 incentive stock option and non-qualified stock option awards.
The 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors in April 2018 and approved by the Company's stockholders in June 2018 to award up to 1,822,000 shares of common stock. The 2018 Plan replaced the 2011 Plan as the Board of Directors decided not to make additional awards under the 2011 Plan following the closing of the IPO, which occurred in June 2018. The 2018 Plan allows the compensation committee to make equity-based and cash-based incentive awards to the Company's officers, employees, directors and other key persons (including consultants). No grants of stock options or other awards may be made under the 2018 Plan after the tenth anniversary of the effective date.
As of June 30, 2024, there were 1.8 million shares of common stock available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan.
The 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") was adopted by the Board of Directors in April 2018 and approved by the Company's stockholders in June 2018 to issue up to 193,000 shares of common stock to participating employees. Through the ESPP, eligible employees may authorize payroll deductions of up to 15% of their compensation to purchase up to the number of shares of common stock determined by dividing $25,000 by the closing market price of Xeris common stock on the offering date. The purchase price per share at each purchase date is equal to 85% of the lower of (i) the closing market price per share of Xeris common stock on the employee's offering date or (ii) the closing market price per share of Xeris common stock on the purchase date. Each offering period has a six-month duration and purchase interval. As of June 30, 2024, there were 14.2 thousand shares available for issuance under the ESPP.
The Equity Inducement Plan (the "Inducement Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors in February 2019. The Inducement Plan allows the Company to make stock option or restricted stock unit awards to prospective employees of the Company as an inducement to such individuals to commence employment with the Company. The Company uses this Inducement Plan to help it attract and retain prospective employees who are necessary to support the commercialization of products and the expansion of the Company generally. As of June 30, 2024, there were 1.6 million shares of common stock available for future issuance under the Inducement Plan.
Assumed Plans
On the acquisition date of Strongbridge, the Company assumed all then-outstanding stock options and shares available and reserved for issuance under some legacy equity incentive plans of Strongbridge, including the Strongbridge 2015 equity compensation plan and Strongbridge 2017 inducement plan (collectively, the "Assumed Plans"). Shares reserved under the Assumed Plans will be available for future grants. The Company also assumed all then-outstanding stock options from the rest of the legacy equity incentive plans of Strongbridge without assuming the shares available and reserved for issuance under these plans. The number of shares subject to stock options outstanding under all Strongbridge legacy equity incentive plans are included in the tables below. As of June 30, 2024, there were 102.1 thousand shares reserved for future grants under the Assumed Plans.

Stock options
Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant. Stock option awards typically vest over either two, three or four years after the grant date and expire seven to ten years from the grant date.
The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. The expected term of options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for periods during the contractual life of the option is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected stock price volatility assumption is based on the historical volatilities of a peer group of publicly traded companies as well as the historical volatility of the Company's common stock, since the Company began trading subsequent to the IPO in June 2018, over the period corresponding to the expected life as of the grant date. The expected dividend yield is based on the expected annual dividend as a percentage of the market value of the Company's ordinary shares as of the grant date.
Stock option activity under the 2011 Plan, 2018 Plan, Inducement Plan and Assumed Plans for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was as follows:

Exercisable - June 30, 20248,840,519$5.303.27
At June 30, 2024, there was a total of $0.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.5 years.
Restricted Stock Units
The Company grants Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") to employees. RSUs that are granted vest over either three or four years in equal annual installments beginning on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, provided that the employee is employed by the Company on such vesting date. If and when the RSUs vest, the Company will issue one share of common stock for each whole RSU that has vested, subject to satisfaction of the employee's tax withholding obligations. Upon vesting and settlement of RSUs or exercise of stock options, at the election of the grantee, the Company does not collect withholding taxes in cash from employees. Instead, the Company withholds upon settlement as RSUs vest, or as stock options are exercised, the portion of those shares with a fair market value equal to the amount of the minimum statutory withholding taxes due. The withheld shares are accounted for as repurchases of common stock. Stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the employee's requisite service period.
A summary of outstanding RSU awards and the activity for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was as follows:

Note 13. Leases
The Company has non-cancellable operating leases for office and laboratory space, which expire at various times in 2031 and 2036. The non-cancellable lease agreements provide for monthly lease payments, which increase during the term of each lease agreement.
All of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases, which are included as operating lease right-of-use assets and current and non-current operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company's operating lease costs are included in operating expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
A majority of the Company's lease agreements include fixed rental payments. Certain lease agreements include fixed rental payments that are adjusted periodically by a fixed rate. The fixed payments, including the effects of changes in the fixed rate or amount, and renewal options reasonably certain to be exercised, are included in the measurement of the related lease liability. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, which includes renewal options reasonably certain to be exercised. The majority of the Company's real estate leases require that the Company pay maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance in addition to rent. These payments are generally variable and based on actual costs incurred by the lessor. Therefore, these amounts are not included in the consideration of the contract when determining the right-of-use asset and lease liability but are reflected as variable lease expenses.
As the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Company considers observable inputs as of the effective date of the ASC 842 adoption including the credit rating, existing borrowings and other relevant borrowing rates, such as risk-free rates like the United States Treasury rate, and then adjusting as necessary for the appropriate lease term. The incremental borrowing rate is reassessed if there is a change to the lease term or if a modification occurs and it is not accounted for as a separate contract. As of June 30, 2024, the Company's operating leases had a weighted-average remaining lease term of 11.2 years and a weighted-average discount rate of 11.9%.

Agreement will mature on January 15, 2025 in the case of outstanding 2025 Convertible Notes and January 15, 2028 in the case of outstanding 2028 Convertible Notes. As disclosed in "Note 9 - Long-term debt", the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided for the New Lenders to extend $15.2 million Tranche 2 Loans on any date after March 5, 2024 and through July 15, 2025 solely for the purpose of redeeming the 2025 Convertible Notes.
Note 15. Net loss per common share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share are determined by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. For all periods presented, the shares issuable upon conversion, exercise or vesting of Convertible Notes, warrants, stock option awards and RSUs have been excluded from the calculation because their effects would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted average common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same.
The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding due to their anti-dilutive effect:

Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including without limitation, the regulatory approval of our product candidates, our ability to market and sell our products and product candidates if approved, and factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any forward-looking statements contained herein speak only as of the date hereof, and Xeris expressly disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
Unless otherwise indicated, references to "Xeris," the "Company," "we," "our" and "us" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc. Throughout this document, unless otherwise noted, references to Gvoke include Gvoke PFS, Gvoke HypoPen, Gvoke Kit and Ogluo (glucagon).
We are focused on building an innovative, self-sustaining, growth-oriented biopharmaceutical company committed to improving patients' lives by developing and commercializing clinically meaningful products across a range of therapies. We are uniquely positioned to achieve this through our three commercial products and our proprietary formulation science (XeriSol and XeriJect), which generates partnerships and enhances our product candidates.
Outlook and strategies
Our goal is to build an innovative, self-sustaining, growth-oriented biopharmaceutical company committed to improving patients' lives by developing and commercializing clinically meaningful products across a range of therapies. To achieve our goal, we are pursuing the following strategies:
<
Drive growth through effective commercial execution of our innovative products. We have three innovative commercial products (Gvoke, Keveyis, and Recorlev) all of which fill unique, unmet needs. Additionally, Gvoke and Recorlev are in the very early stages of their product lifecycles and both leverage our experienced and growing leadership presence in the endocrinology community. We are focused on executing against the opportunities made possible by Gvoke, Recorlev, and Keveyis in order to maintain our momentum of growth and enable the financial self-sufficiency of our Company.
<
Continue to leverage our proprietary formulation science and expertise to develop our internal new product candidates. We have established a proven capability to bring new and innovative products through the development and regulatory process to successful commercialization. XeriSol and XeriJect have broad application and have the potential to be utilized across a range of potential product candidates in multiple therapeutic areas. Our immediate focus is on developing XP-8121, a once weekly subcutaneous injection of levothyroxine, and eventually generating significant benefits for patients and value for our company.
<
Collaborate with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to apply our formulation science to enhance the formulations of their proprietary products and candidates. We are pursuing formulation and development partnerships to apply our XeriSol and XeriJect formulation platforms to enhance the drug delivery and clinical profile of other companies' proprietary drugs and biologics. We currently are collaborating with several major pharmaceutical companies on the development of formulations of their proprietary therapeutics with XeriSol or XeriJect. Our strategic goal is to ultimately enter into commercial licensing agreements with these partners upon successful completion of formulation development.
We believe these three distinct pillars of our strategy can bring new products to market and transform the lives of patients with life-impacting diseases and ultimately drive value for Xeris' shareholders. Pursuing these strategies provides Xeris with a range of value driving opportunities that are incremental to the value already realized by the Xeris enterprise.
Commercial Products
Our top priority is maximizing the potential of our three commercial products:
Gvoke is a ready-to-use, liquid-stable glucagon for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia. The product is indicated for use in pediatric and adult patients with diabetes age 2 years and above and can be administered in 2 simple steps. The estimated total addressable market for this drug is approximately $5.0 billion in the United States.

Table of Contents
Recorlev is a cortisol synthesis inhibitor approved for the treatment of endogenous hypercortisolemia in adult patients with Cushing's syndrome for whom surgery is not an option or has not been curative. Endogenous Cushing's syndrome is a rare but serious and potentially fatal endocrine disease caused by chronic elevated cortisol exposure. The estimated total addressable market for this therapy is approximately $3.0 billion in the United States.
Keveyis is the first therapy approved in the United States to treat hyperkalemic, hypokalemic, and related variants of Primary Periodic Paralysis ("PPP"). PPP is a rare genetic, neuromuscular disorder that can cause extreme muscle weakness and/or paralysis; some forms are also commonly associated with myotonia or muscle stiffness. The estimated total addressable market for this therapy is greater than $0.5 billion in the United States.
Our proprietary formulation capabilities
Our company name, Xeris, is derived from the ancient Greek word xērós meaning 'dry' or 'without water/non-aqueous'. Our proprietary, non-aqueous formulation capabilities are designed to enable the convenient injection of medicines previously uninjectable or poorly injectable when utilizing aqueous approaches. Both XeriSol and XeriJect offer the opportunity to create ready-to-use, room-temperature stable, highly concentrated, injectable formulations of both small and large molecules. These proprietary formulation capabilities can enable subcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular (IM) administration in lieu of intravenous (IV) infusion, allow for convenient, cost-effective storage, and provide an improved patient, caregiver, and healthcare provider experience. XeriSol and XeriJect have broad applications and enable us to develop our own internal product development candidates in endocrinology, neurology and other therapeutic areas. They also enable us to pursue formulation and development partnerships pursuant to which our proprietary formulation science is applied with the goal of enhancing the product formulation, delivery and clinical profile of other companies' proprietary drugs and biologics.
Development of product candidates
Once Weekly Subcutaneous Injection of Levothyroxine (XP-8121)
XP-8121 is a novel formulation for subcutaneous administration that could potentially mitigate many of the challenges associated with oral formulations, such as identification of an ideal dose due to absorption variation and medication adherence for patients who have difficulty maintaining a stable, therapeutic serum level. Preclinical studies of XP-8121 showed a sustained plasma exposure profile and similar highest concentration of a drug in the blood, or Cmax, when compared with equivalent doses of the oral formulation. We conducted a Phase 1 study of XP-8121 to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability, and potential for weekly dosing in the treatment of hypothyroidism.
Levothyroxine and Hypothyroidism
The thyroid gland is responsible for the synthesis, storage, and release of metabolic hormones including thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones are crucial in the regulation of critical metabolic processes and are vital for normal growth and development during fetal life, infancy, and childhood.
Therapeutically, levothyroxine is administered as a replacement for deficient thyroid hormones. The goal of the therapy is restoration of the euthyroid state which can reverse the clinical manifestations of hypothyroidism and significantly improve quality of life. The treatment of choice for correction of hypothyroidism is currently continuous daily oral administration of levothyroxine. It is one of the most widely prescribed drug products in the United States, but the complexity of maintaining biochemical and clinical euthyroidism in patients undergoing treatment with oral levothyroxine is challenging. It has been reported that nearly 40% of patients undergoing treatment with oral levothyroxine are either over- or under-treated due to factors that include, but are not limited to, drug formulation, use of the drug with food, adherence to the drug, use of concomitant medications, and pre-existing medical conditions. Many patients failing to reach target thyroid stimulating hormone ("TSH") levels are managed by simply increasing their levothyroxine daily dose. However, levothyroxine is a drug with a narrow therapeutic index, meaning that relatively small deviations from the proper dose can cause a clinically meaningful shift in pharmacological effects when administered to a patient; thus, the titration of levothyroxine oral drug may be a tailored and incremental process.
The Phase 1 clinical study was a single ascending dose crossover design in 30 healthy participants to compare matching doses of oral levothyroxine (Synthroid) and subcutaneous XP-8121. The primary endpoints of the study were to characterize the absorption and elimination kinetics of XP-8121 and compare bioavailability of XP-8121 to oral levothyroxine. Secondary endpoints were safety and tolerability of XP-8121.
In October 2022, we reported positive topline Phase 1 data of XP-8121. The data showed that subjects receiving XP-8121 subcutaneous had slower absorption, lower peak plasma, and higher extended exposure compared to Synthroid PO at the comparable dose of 600 μg. In addition, exposure was proportional over the range of ascending XP-8121 doses studied. Simulations based on a population pharmacokinetic model indicated that exposure from weekly XP-8121 1200 μg SC doses overlapped daily Synthroid PO 300 μg suggesting a dose conversion factor of 4x. Importantly, single SC doses of XP-8121 at all doses were generally well-tolerated and the XP-8121 doses studied were generally comparable to Synthroid 600 μg PO with respect to the safety findings. In June 2023, we initiated a non-randomized, open-label, single arm, self-controlled Phase 2 study to determine a target dose conversion factor from stably dosed oral levothyroxine to XP-8121 in patients with hypothyroidism and also assess the safety and tolerability after once-weekly subcutaneous injections. The data established an average once-weekly SC dose of XP-8121 and confirmed previous Phase 1 study of a 4x target dose conversion factor when switching from once-daily oral administration of levothyroxine. Participants who completed the study rated higher treatment satisfaction with XP-8121 compared to oral and a majority (72%) indicated a strong

preference for the subcutaneous route of administration. An FDA End-of-Phase 2 interaction to facilitate a Phase 3 pivotal study program is expected by year-end.
Patents
We currently own 178 patents issued globally, including composition of matter patents covering our ready-to-use glucagon formulation that expire in 2036. Included in the total patents, we have 64 granted patents globally related to our platform technologies and 8 patents granted in the United States and listed in the United States FDA Orange Book covering proprietary formulations of levoketoconazole (the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Recorlev) and the uses of such formulations in treating certain endocrine-related diseases and syndromes. The latter includes United States Patent Nos. 11,020,393, 11,278,547 and 11,903,940, which were granted on June 1, 2021, March 22, 2022, and February 20, 2024, respectively, and which provide patent protection through 2040 for the use of Recorlev in the treatment of certain patients with persistent or recurrent Cushing's syndrome.
Financing
We have funded our operations to date primarily with proceeds from the sale of our preferred and common stock and debt financing.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, we reported net losses of $34.0 million and $36.7 million, respectively. We have not been profitable since inception, and, as of June 30, 2024, our accumulated deficit was $651.0 million. In the near term, we expect to continue to incur significant expenses, operating losses and net losses as we:
<continue our marketing and selling efforts related to commercialization of Gvoke, Recorlev and Keveyis;
<continue our research and development efforts;
<continue to operate as a public company; and
<continue to fund our operations with an increased cost of borrowing due to a higher interest rate environment and tighter lending requirements.
We may continue to seek public equity and debt financing to meet our capital requirements. There can be no assurance that such funding may be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, or that we will be able to commercialize our product candidates, if approved. In addition, we may not be profitable even if we commercialize any of our product candidates.
Components of our Results of Operations
The following discussion sets forth certain components of the statement of operations of Xeris for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 as well as factors that impact those items.
Product revenue, net
Product revenue, net, represents gross product sales less estimated allowances for patient copay assistance programs, prompt payment discounts, payor rebates, chargebacks, service fees, and product returns, all of which are recorded at the time of sale to the pharmaceutical wholesaler or other customer. We apply significant judgment and estimates in determining some of these allowances. If actual results differ from our estimates, we make adjustments to these allowances in the period in which the actual results or updates to estimates become known.
Royalty, contract and other revenue
Royalty and contract revenue is recognized as earned in accordance with contract terms when it can be reasonably estimated and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue generated from various collaboration and technology partnerships are included in this line.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold primarily includes product costs, which include all costs directly related to the purchase of raw materials, charges from our contract manufacturing organizations, and manufacturing overhead costs, as well as shipping and distribution charges. Cost of goods sold also includes losses from excess, slow-moving or obsolete inventory and inventory purchase commitments, if any. Manufacturing costs for Gvoke and Recorlev incurred prior to approval and initial commercialization were expensed as research and development expenses.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses consist of expenses incurred in connection with the discovery and development of our products and product candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as incurred. Expenses that are paid in advance of performance are capitalized until services are provided or goods are delivered. We track external research and development costs by project, however, personnel related expenses related to research and development are not allocated by project. Research and development expenses include:
23

Table of Contents
<
the cost of acquiring and manufacturing preclinical study and clinical trial materials and manufacturing costs related to commercial production and scale-up until a product is approved and initially available for commercial sale;
<expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations ("CROs") as well as investigative sites and consultants that conduct our preclinical studies and clinical trials;
<personnel-related expenses, which include salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation;
<laboratory materials and supplies used to support our research activities;
<outsourced product development services;
<expenses relating to regulatory activities, including filing fees paid to regulatory agencies; and
<allocated expenses for facility-related costs.
Research and development activities are central to our business model. We expect to continue to incur significant research and development expenses as we advance our pipeline candidates and in particular plan and conduct clinical trials, prepare regulatory filings for our product candidates, and utilize internal resources to support these efforts. Our research and development costs have declined as compared to previous levels as a result of directing significant funding to our commercial activities.
Our research and development expenses may vary significantly over time due to uncertainties relating to the timing and results of our clinical trials, feedback received from interactions with the FDA and the timing of regulatory approvals.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and related personnel costs, marketing and selling expenses, professional fees and facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses.
Amortization of intangible assets
Amortization of intangible assets relates to the amortization of our products: Keveyis and Recorlev. These two intangible assets are being amortized over a five-year and fourteen-year period, respectively, using the straight-line method.
Other income (expense)
Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense related to our convertible debt, senior secured credit facility, interest income earned on deposits and investments, debt refinancing costs and gains and losses on the change in fair value of the CVRs.

Recorlev
Net revenue increased by $6.2 million or 86.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2023. The increase was due to higher volume ($4.9 million or 67.9%) and an increase in net pricing ($1.3 million or 18.2%).
Net revenue increased by $12.3 million or 105.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2023. The increase was due to higher volume ($9.8 million or 84.3%) and an increase in net pricing ($2.5 million or 21.3%).
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold increased by $0.2 million or 3.1% and $0.9 million or 6.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
Cost of goods sold as a percent of total product revenue decreased by 3.7%, to 16.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 20.5% for the same period ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to higher sales of products with a lower cost of goods sold ($0.7 million or 2.0%).
Cost of goods sold as a percent of total product revenue decreased by 2.8%, to 15.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 18.6% for the same period ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to higher sales of products with lower cost of goods sold ($1.3 million or 1.8%).
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses decreased by $0.3 million or 5.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2023, primarily driven by lower spending for our pipeline ($0.5 million), primarily XP-8121 ($0.9 million) offset by other projects ($0.4 million), and our technology development ($0.6 million) offset by an increase in personnel related expenses ($0.4 million).
Research and development expenses increased by $2.7 million or 24.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2023, primarily driven by higher spending for our pipeline ($1.3 million) and personnel related expenses ($1.1 million).
The following table summarizes our research and development expenses by type for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.4 million or 6.3% and $7.1 million or 10.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively, due to higher personnel costs.
Amortization of intangible assets
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, amortization of intangible assets were both $2.7 million and $5.4 million, respectively.
Other income (expense)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, interest expense increased $1.4 million or 22.0% and $2.3 million or 17.7% compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The increases in both periods were primarily due to a higher principal amount and increased interest rates.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, change in fair value of contingent value rights was a gain of $0.6 million and $4.0 million, respectively, compared to $0.8 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The gain in the first half of 2024 were primarily due to the remeasurement of the CVR liability as a result of changes in our stock price prior to issuance of the common stock issued in settlement of the CVR and the revaluation of the CVR liability related to Recorlev 2024 sales milestone.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, deferred refinancing costs were $2.7 million related to the third party debt arrangements for advisory and legal fees.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary uses of cash are to fund costs related to the manufacturing, marketing and selling of products, the research and development of our product candidates, general and administrative expenses and working capital requirements. Historically, we have funded our operations primarily through private placements of convertible preferred stock, public equity offerings of common stock, and issuance of debt.
On January 2, 2022, we entered into a securities purchase agreement in connection with the private placement of our common stock with Armistice for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $30.0 million and completed the transaction on January 3, 2022. In January 2022, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which was declared effective on February 7, 2022, and which covers the offering, issuance and sale by us of up to an aggregate of $250.0 million of our common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and/or units.
In March 2022, we, Xeris Pharma and certain subsidiary guarantors, entered into a Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the "Hayfin Loan Agreement") with the lenders from time to time parties thereto (the "Lenders") and Hayfin Services LLP, as administrative agent for the Lenders, pursuant to which we and our subsidiaries party thereto granted a first priority security interest on substantially all of our assets, including intellectual property, subject to certain exceptions. The Hayfin Loan Agreement provided for the Lenders to extend $100.0 million in term loans to us on the closing date and up to an additional $50.0 million in delayed draw term loan(s) during the one year period immediately following the closing date (collectively, the "Loans"). On December 28, 2022, we borrowed the full amount of such $50.0 million delayed draw term loan under the Hayfin Loan Agreement. In conjunction with the execution of the Hayfin Loan Agreement, the Oxford Loan Agreement balance of $43.5 million was repaid in full and fees of $2.1 million in connection with the loan repayment were paid. In addition to utilizing the proceeds to repay the obligations under the Oxford Loan Agreement in full, the proceeds were otherwise used for general corporate purposes. After repayment, the Loans may not be re-borrowed.
In September 2023, we completed the exchange of $32.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes for $33.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance of the 2025 Convertible Notes was $15.2 million and the outstanding balance of the 2028 Convertible Notes was $33.6 million.
In March 2024, we, Xeris Pharma and certain subsidiary guarantors, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") with the lenders from time to time parties thereto (the "New Lenders") and Hayfin Services LLP, as administrative agent for the New Lenders, pursuant to which the Company and its subsidiaries party thereto granted a first priority security interest on substantially all of their assets, including intellectual property, subject to certain exceptions. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated the Hayfin Loan Agreement in its entirety. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided for the New Lenders to extend $200.0 million in term loans to the Company on the closing date and up to an additional $15.2 million in additional term loans, which additional term loans are available only to redeem the Company's existing 2025 Convertible Notes.
Capital Resources and Funding Requirements
We have incurred operating losses since inception, and we have an accumulated deficit of $651.0 million at June 30, 2024. Based on our current operating plans and existing working capital at June 30, 2024, we believe that our cash resources are sufficient to sustain operations and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. We expect to incur substantial additional expenditures in the near term to support the marketing and selling of Gvoke, Recorlev and Keveyis as well as our ongoing research and development activities. We expect to continue to incur net losses for at least the next 12 months. Our ability to fund marketing and selling of Gvoke, Recorlev and Keveyis, as well as our product development and clinical operations, including completion of future clinical trials, will depend on the amount and timing of cash received from product revenue and potential future financings. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:
<our degree of success in commercializing Gvoke, Recorlev and Keveyis;
<
the costs of commercialization activities, including product marketing, sales and distribution;
<the costs, timing and outcomes of clinical trials and regulatory reviews associated with our product candidates;
<the effect on our product development activities of actions taken by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;
<the number and types of future products we develop and commercialize;
<the emergence of competing technologies and products and other adverse market developments; and
<the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications and maintaining, enforcing and defending intellectual property-related claims.
As we continue the marketing and selling of Gvoke, Recorlev and Keveyis, we may not generate a sufficient amount of product revenue to fund our cash requirements. Accordingly, we may need to obtain additional financing in the future which may include public or private debt and/or equity financings. As detailed in "Note 1 – Liquidity and capital resources" above, there can be no

assurance that such funding may be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, or that we will be able to successfully market and sell Gvoke, Recorlev and Keveyis.

Operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $30.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $39.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by reduced working capital usage, partially offset by changes to the fair value of contingent value rights. For a discussion regarding product revenue, net and increases in spending, refer to "Results of Operations" included in this "Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $35.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Cash used in investing activities in 2024 was primarily due to net purchases of short-term investments.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $35.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The cash provided by financing activities in 2024 was primarily due to the net proceeds of $38.2 million of the debt refinancing from the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 describes the critical accounting policies for which management uses significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2023.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Refer to "Note 2 - Basis of presentation and summary of significant accounting policies and estimates," for a description of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to our financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions in the normal course of business, principally risk associated with interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Interest Rate Risk
Cash, Cash Equivalents restricted cash and Investments—We are exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuations on the interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments. A hypothetical one-percentage point increase or decrease in interest rates applicable to our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments outstanding at June 30, 2024 would increase or decrease interest income by approximately $0.8 million on an annual basis.
Long-term Debt—Our interest rate risk relates primarily to the United States dollar SOFR-indexed borrowings. Based on our outstanding borrowings pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, interest is incurred at a floating per annum rate in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 6.95% (or 5.95% if the replacement rate is in effect) plus (ii) the greater of (x) the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR for a three month tenor (or the replacement rate, if applicable), and (y) 2.00% per annum. The remaining balance of unamortized debt issuance costs have been reflected as a direct reduction to the loan balance. Interest on the 2025 Convertible Notes is assessed at a fixed rate of 5.0% annually and interest on the 2028 Convertible Notes is assessed at a fixed rate of 8.0% annually and therefore do not subject us to interest rate risk.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We contract with research organizations outside the United States at times. We may be subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in connection with certain of these agreements. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Net foreign currency gains and losses did not have a material effect on our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer (principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"). Based on such evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its chief executive and chief financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, as of the date of this report, we do not believe we are party to any claim or litigation the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which could have a material adverse effect on our business or consolidated financial statements, results of operations, and cash flows. Additional risks not currently known, or risks that are currently believed to be not material, may also impair business operations. The material changes to our risk factors since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, are presented below.
Risks Related to Ongoing Regulatory Obligations
Even after approval of our products and product candidates, we may still face future development and regulatory difficulties. If we fail to comply with continuing United States and non-United States regulations or new adverse safety data arise, we could lose our marketing approvals and our business would be seriously harmed.
Our approved products and product candidates, if approved, will also be subject to ongoing regulatory requirements for manufacturing, distribution, sale, labeling, packaging, storage, advertising, promotion, record-keeping and submission of safety and other post-market information. Approved products, third-party suppliers and their facilities are required to comply with extensive FDA requirements and requirements of other regulatory authorities even after approval, including ensuring that quality control and manufacturing procedures conform to CGMPs and applicable QSRs and applicable product tracking and tracing requirements. As such, we and our third-party suppliers are subject to continual review and periodic inspections, both announced and unannounced, to assess compliance with CGMPs and the QSR. Accordingly, we and our third-party suppliers must continue to expend time, money and effort in all areas of regulatory compliance, including manufacturing, production and quality control. We will also be required to report certain adverse events and production problems, if any, to the FDA and other regulatory authorities and to comply with certain requirements concerning advertising and promotion of our products. Promotional communications with respect to prescription drugs are subject to a variety of legal and regulatory restrictions and must be consistent with the information in the product's approved label. Accordingly, we may not promote our approved products for indications or uses for which they are not approved.
If a regulatory agency discovers previously unknown problems with a product, such as adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or problems with the facility where the product is manufactured, or disagrees with the promotion, marketing or labeling of a product, it may impose restrictions on that product or us, including requiring withdrawal of the product from the market. These unknown problems could be discovered as a result of any post-marketing follow-up studies, routine safety surveillance or other reporting required as a condition to approval.
Regulatory agencies may also impose requirements for costly post-marketing studies or clinical trials and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of a product. Additionally, under FDORA, sponsors of approved drugs and biologics must provide 6 months' notice to the FDA of any changes in marketing status, such as the withdrawal of a drug, and failure to do so could result in the FDA placing the product on a list of discontinued products, which would revoke the product's ability to be marketed. The FDA, the Federal Trade Commission and other agencies and government entities, including the Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the Office of Inspector General of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, closely regulate and monitor the post-approval marketing and promotion of products to ensure that they are manufactured, marketed and distributed only for the approved indications and in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling. The FDA imposes stringent restrictions on manufacturers' communications regarding off-label use, and if we, or any future collaborators, do not market any of our products for which we, or they, receive marketing approval for only their approved indications, we, or they, may be subject to warning or enforcement action for off-label marketing, government investigations, or litigation. Violation of the FDCA and other statutes, including the False Claims Act, relating to the promotion and advertising of prescription drugs may lead to investigations or allegations of violations of federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse laws and state consumer protection laws. On June 7, 2023, we received an untitled letter from FDA's Office of Prescription Drug Promotion ("OPDP") regarding specific sections of the Recorlev consumer website. The letter raised concerns that the webpages made false or misleading claims about the safety and efficacy of Recorlev that misbrand Recorlev within the meaning of the FDCA. We submitted a response to the FDA regarding our plan to revise those sections of the webpages at issue. The FDA completed evaluation of our response and issued a close-out letter in August 2023 stating that it appears that we have addressed all the concerns contained in the untitled letter.
If our products or product candidates fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, or if a problem with one of our products or third-party suppliers is discovered, a regulatory agency may:
30

Table of Contents
 < restrict the marketing or manufacturing of such products;
<restrict or require modification of or revision to the labeling of a product;
<issue warning letters or untitled letters which may require corrective action;
<mandate modifications to promotional materials or require us to provide corrective information to healthcare practitioners;
<require us to enter into a consent decree or permanent injunction, which can include imposition of various fines, reimbursements for third party inspection and/or monitoring costs, corrective action plans with required due dates for specific actions and penalties for noncompliance;
<impose other administrative or judicial civil or criminal penalties including fines, imprisonment and disgorgement of profits;
<suspend or withdraw regulatory approval;
<refuse to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications filed by us;
<close the facilities of our third-party suppliers;
<suspend ongoing clinical trials;
<impose restrictions on operations, including costly new manufacturing requirements; or
<seize or detain products or recommend or require a product recall.
The FDA's and foreign regulatory agencies' policies are subject to change, and additional federal, state, local or non-United States governmental regulations may be enacted that could affect our ability to maintain compliance. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of adverse governmental regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative action, either in the United States or abroad. Moreover, the U.S. Supreme Court's July 2024 decision to overturn prior established case law giving deference to regulatory agencies' interpretations of ambiguous statutory language has introduced uncertainty regarding the extent to which FDA's regulations, policies, and decisions may become subject to increasing legal challenges, delays, and/or changes.
Risk Related to Employment Matters
Our business could suffer if we lose the services of key members of our senior management or if we are not able to attract and retain other key employees and consultants.
We are dependent upon the continued services of key members of our executive management and a limited number of key advisors and personnel. In particular, we are highly dependent on the skills and leadership of our executive management team, including John Shannon, our Chief Executive Officer, Steven Pieper, our Chief Financial Officer, Kevin McCulloch, our President and Chief Operating Officer, Ken Johnson, our Senior Vice President, Global Development and Medical Affairs, and Beth Hecht, our Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary. The loss of any one of these individuals could disrupt our operations or our strategic plans. Our industry has experienced a high rate of turnover of management personnel in recent years. Any of our personnel may terminate their employment at will. If we lose one or more of our executive officers or other key employees, our ability to implement our business strategy successfully could be seriously harmed. Furthermore, replacing executive officers or other key employees may be difficult and may take an extended period of time because of the limited number of individuals in our industry with the breadth of skills and experience required to develop, gain marketing approval of and commercialize products successfully.
Additionally, our future success will depend on, among other things, our ability to continue to hire and retain the necessary qualified scientific, technical, and managerial personnel, for whom we compete with numerous other companies, academic institutions, and organizations. Competition to hire from this limited pool is intense, and we may be unable to hire, train, retain or motivate these additional key employees on acceptable terms given the competition among numerous pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for similar personnel. We also experience competition for the hiring of scientific and clinical personnel from universities and research institutions.
We rely on consultants and advisors, including scientific and clinical advisors, to assist us in formulating our research and development and commercialization strategy. Our consultants and advisors may be employed by other entities and may have commitments under consulting or advisory contracts with those entities that may limit their availability to us. If we are unable to continue to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, our ability to commercialize our products and to develop and commercialize our product candidates will be limited.
General Risk Factors
Our data collection and processing activities are governed by restrictive regulations governing the use, processing and, in certain jurisdictions, cross-border transfer of personal information.
We may be subject to the United States federal and state, European, UK and other foreign data protection laws and regulations (i.e., laws and regulations that address privacy and data security). We have personnel located in Ireland and have conducted and may in the future conduct clinical trials in the European Economic Area ("EEA") and/or the UK subjecting us to additional privacy restrictions and data protection requirements. The collection and use of personal data (including health data) in the EEA and the UK are governed by the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("EU GDPR") as well as other national data protection legislation in force in relevant Member States, with respect to the EEA, and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (the "UK GDPR," together with the EU GDPR the "GDPR") and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 with respect to the UK. These laws impose a broad range of
31

Table of Contents
strict requirements on companies subject to the GDPR, such as including requirements relating to having legal bases for processing personal data relating to identifiable individuals and transferring such information outside the EEA or the UK, providing details to those individuals regarding the processing of their personal data, implementing safeguards to keep personal data secure, having data processing agreements with third parties who process personal data, providing information to individuals regarding data processing activities, responding to individuals' requests to exercise their rights in respect of their personal data, obtaining consent of the individuals to whom the personal data relates, reporting security and privacy breaches involving personal data to the competent national data protection authority and affected individuals, appointing data protection officers, conducting data protection impact assessments, and record-keeping. The GDPR may impose additional responsibility and liability in relation to personal data that we process and we may be required to put in place additional mechanisms ensuring compliance with the EEA and UK data protection regimes. This may be onerous and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
The GDPR prohibits the international transfer of personal data to countries outside of the EEA or the UK ("third countries") which are not deemed as adequate for the transfers of personal data by competent authorities, unless a derogation exists or adequate safeguards (for example, the European Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses ("EU SCCs") and the UK International Data Transfer Agreement/Addendum ("UK IDTA")) are implemented in compliance with EEA and UK data protection laws. Where relying on the EU SCCs or UK IDTA for data transfers, we may also be required to carry out transfer impact assessments on transfers made pursuant to the EU SCCs and the UK IDTA, on a case-by-case basis to ensure the law in the data importer's country and the data importer can ensure sufficient guarantees for safeguarding the personal data under GDPR. This assessment includes assessing whether third party vendors can also ensure these guarantees. The international transfer obligations under the EEA and UK data protection regimes will require significant effort and cost and may result in us needing to make strategic considerations around where EEA and UK personal data is located and which service providers we can utilize for the processing of EEA and UK personal data. Any inability to transfer personal data from the EEA and UK to the United States in compliance with data protection laws may impede our ability to conduct trials and may adversely affect our business and financial position.
The EU commission has adopted its adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework ("Framework") agreed with the U.S., which entered into force on July 11, 2023. This Framework provides that the protection of personal data transferred between the EEA and the U.S. is comparable to that offered in the EEA. This Framework provides a further avenue to ensure transfers to the U.S. are carried out in line with GDPR. Where we rely on the Framework as a transfer mechanism for international transfers of personal data to the U.S., the Framework's validity could be challenged and the Framework subsequently invalidated as a mechanism for transferring personal data to the U.S. like its predecessor Privacy Shield and Safe Harbor frameworks.
Although the UK is regarded as a third country under the EU's GDPR, the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision recognizing the UK as providing adequate protection under the EU GDPR and, therefore, transfers of personal data originating in the EEA to the UK remain unrestricted. Likewise, the UK government has confirmed that personal data transfers from the UK to the EEA remain free flowing. The UK government has introduced a Data Protection and Digital Information Bill ("UK Bill") into the UK legislative process. The UK Bill failed in the UK legislative process but may be reintroduced at some point in the future. If a further bill is introduced, it may have the effect of further altering the similarities between the UK and EEA data protection regime and threaten the UK adequacy decision from the European Commission.
In addition, EEA Member States have adopted national laws to implement the EU GDPR that may partially deviate from the EU GDPR and competent authorities in the EEA Member States may interpret the EU GDPR obligations slightly differently from country to country. Therefore, we do not expect to operate in a uniform legal landscape in the EEA.
If we are investigated by a European or UK data protection authority, we may face fines and other penalties, including bans on processing and transferring personal data. EEA and UK data protection authorities have the power to impose administrative fines for violations of the GDPR of up to a maximum of €20 (£17.5 under the UK GDPR) million or 4% of our total worldwide global turnover for the preceding fiscal year, whichever is higher, and violations of the GDPR may also lead to damages claims by data controllers and data subjects. Such penalties are in addition to any civil litigation claims by data controllers, clients, and data subjects. As such, we will need to take steps to cause our processes to continue to be compliant with the applicable portions of the GDPR, but we cannot assure you that we will be able to implement changes in a timely manner or without significant disruption to our business, or that such steps will be effective, and we may face the risk of liability under the GDPR.
Many jurisdictions outside of Europe where we may do business or conduct trials in the future are also considering and/or have enacted comprehensive data protection legislation. In addition, we also continue to see jurisdictions imposing data localization laws. These and similar regulations may interfere with our intended business activities, inhibit our ability to expand into those markets, require modifications to our products or services or prohibit us from continuing to offer services or conduct trials in those markets without significant additional costs. In the US state laws govern the privacy and security of health information in some circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and often are not preempted by HIPAA, thus complicating compliance efforts. For example, in California, the California Consumer Protection Act, or CCPA, which went into effect on January 1, 2020, established a comprehensive privacy framework for covered businesses by creating an expanded definition of personal information, establishing new data privacy rights for consumers in the State of California, imposing special rules on the collection of consumer data from minors, and creating a new and potentially severe statutory damages framework for violations of the CCPA and for businesses that fail to implement reasonable security procedures and practices to prevent data breaches. While clinical trial data and information governed by HIPAA are currently exempt from the current version of the CCPA, other personal information may be applicable and possible changes to the CCPA may broaden its scope. In addition, a ballot initiative, the California Privacy Rights Act, or CPRA, was passed in November 2020 and as of January 1, 2023 has imposed additional obligations on companies covered by the legislation. The
32

Table of Contents
CPRA significantly modified the CCPA, including by expanding consumers' rights with respect to certain sensitive personal information.
Similar laws have been passed and proposed in numerous other states. Such proposed legislation, if enacted, may add additional complexity, variation in requirements, restrictions and potential legal risk, require additional investment of resources in compliance programs, impact strategies and the availability of previously useful data and could result in increased compliance costs and/or changes in business practices and policies. The existence of comprehensive privacy laws in different states in the country would make our compliance obligations more complex and costly and may increase the likelihood that we may be subject to enforcement actions or otherwise incur liability for noncompliance. There are also states that are specifically regulating health information. For example, Washington state recently passed a health privacy law which, as of March 31, 2024, regulates the collection and sharing of health information. The Washington law also has a private right of action, which further increases the relevant compliance risk. Connecticut and Nevada have also passed similar laws regulating consumer health data. In addition, other states have proposed and/or passed legislation that regulates the privacy and/or security of certain specific types of information. For example, a small number of states have passed laws that regulate biometric data specifically. These various privacy and security laws may impact our business activities, including our identification of research subjects, relationships with business partners and ultimately the marketing and distribution of our products. State laws are changing rapidly and there is discussion in the U.S. Congress of a new comprehensive federal data privacy law to which we may likely become subject, if enacted.
All of these evolving compliance and operational requirements impose significant costs, such as costs related to organizational changes, implementing additional protection technologies, training employees and engaging consultants and legal advisors, which are likely to increase over time. In addition, such requirements may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies, utilize management's time and/or divert resources from other initiatives and projects. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with any applicable federal, state or foreign laws and regulations relating to data privacy and security could result in damage to our reputation, as well as proceedings or litigation by governmental agencies or other third parties, including class action privacy litigation in certain jurisdictions, which would subject us to significant fines, sanctions, awards, injunctions, penalties or judgments. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that can impact our business including by posing security risks to our confidential information, proprietary information, and personal data.
Issues in the use of artificial intelligence, combined with an uncertain regulatory environment, may result in reputational harm, liability, or other adverse consequences to our business operations. As with many technological innovations, artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that could impact our business. We or our vendors may incorporate generative artificial intelligence tools into their offerings without disclosing this use to us, and the providers of these generative artificial intelligence tools may not meet existing or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards with respect to privacy and data protection and may inhibit our or our vendors' ability to maintain an adequate level of service and experience. Additionally, we expect to see increasing government and supranational regulation related to artificial intelligence use and ethics, which may also significantly increase the burden and cost of research, development and compliance in this area. For example, the EU's Artificial Intelligence Act ("AI Act") — the world's first comprehensive AI law entered into force on August 1, 2024 and, with some exceptions, shall become effective 24 months thereafter. This legislation imposes significant obligations on providers and deployers of high risk artificial intelligence systems, and encourages providers and deployers of artificial intelligence systems to account for EU ethical principles in their development and use of these systems. If we develop or use AI systems that are governed by the AI Act, it may necessitate ensuring higher standards of data quality, transparency, and human oversight, as well as adhering to specific and potentially burdensome and costly ethical, accountability, and administrative requirements. If our vendors, or our third-party partners experience an actual or perceived breach or privacy or a cybersecurity incident because of the use of generative artificial intelligence, we may lose valuable intellectual property and confidential information and our reputation and the public perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed. Further, bad actors around the world use increasingly sophisticated methods, including the use of artificial intelligence, to engage in illegal activities involving the theft and misuse of personal information, confidential information, and intellectual property. Any of these outcomes could damage our reputation, result in the loss of valuable property and information, and adversely impact our business.

FORECASTING AND PURCHASE ORDERS 3.1 Forecasting. Customer will deliver to Regis for planning purposes no later than the beginning of each quarter (i.e., January 1, April 1, July 1, October 1) a non-binding rolling forecast of its estimated quarterly requirements for delivery of Product during the next [***]. The quantities of Product detailed in the [***] from the delivery date (the “Firm Order Period”) of each such forecast will represent binding irrevocable purchase commitments of Customer and Regis which can only be amended by mutual agreement of the Parties and for which Customer shall place corresponding purchase orders. Forecasts shall contain a quantity in [***] batch increments and may range from [***] batches annually. The first forecast covering a period of [***] from the Effective Date is attached hereto as Exhibit 2. 3.2 Purchase Orders.

Other than due to a force majeure event, Regis shall accept all purchase orders that are materially in compliance with this Agreement and consistent with Customer’s previous [***] rolling forecast. 3.5 If Regis is unable, or anticipates that it will not be able, to supply Customer’s requirements for number of batches of Product and delivery date in accordance with this Section 3 (a “Shortage of Supply”), Regis shall notify Customer in writing of the same within [***] of receipt of the applicable Purchase Orders, forecast or determination that a Shortage of Supply will exist, and shall include in such notice its best estimate of the duration of the delay, the reasons for the delay, and whether the reason impacts the validated state of the process. Regis shall, at its own cost, use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy any Shortage of Supply and resume supplying Product meeting the requirements of this Agreement to Customer as soon as possible. 3.6 Regis agrees to retest batches of Product at Customer’s request and expense for batches within [***] of the retest period. 4. ANNUAL STABILITY STUDY 4.1 Regis will perform the annual stability study on one batch of Product released each calendar year. Customer will decide which batch will be placed on stability. If more than one batch needs to be placed on stability in a year, Customer will pay for the stability study with prior approval of the need for an extra stability batch in the year. If no batches are produced in a calendar year, a new stability study will not be required for that year. 4.2 The annual stability study will be run using the time points and parameters in the Exhibit 1 and Regis will provide interim annual updates of the stability data. Upon completion of


 
the annual stability study, Regis will provide Customer with a final report of the results. The price for each annual stability study is set forth in Exhibit 3. 4.3 Reference Standards. If requested by Customer, Regis will qualify or requalify (2S,4R)-(-)-cis-Ketoconazole as a reference standard or Regis will purchase other reference standards required for the manufacturing of Product. The price for reference standards is set forth in Exhibit 3. 5. RAW MATERIALS AND SAFETY STOCK (a) Regis shall provide all raw and auxiliary materials required in connection with the manufacture of the Product hereunder. Regis shall procure, use and analyse the raw materials in accordance with GMPs and the regulatory filing of the Product. (b) Upon receipt of purchase order issued by Customer, Regis will purchase sufficient Racemic Ketoconazole (“SM”) from [***] or other mutually approved supplier, to produce Product. Regis will invoice Customer for the SM Fee as set forth in Exhibit 3. Customer shall provide purchase orders for SM to maintain a safety stock of no less than [***] of SM and Regis will invoice Customer the SM Fee accordingly. Regis shall procure additional safety stock of SM at the request and expense of Customer. (c) Storage of the SM shall be the responsibility of Regis and will be included in the annual Maintenance Fee defined in Section 11.3. All SM shall be used solely for the Product. Regis shall be responsible for risk of loss to SM in its possession. (d) Regis will have a quality agreement with [***] for SM.

Batch review and release to Customer will be the responsibility of Regis’s quality assurance group. Regis will perform its batch review and release responsibilities in accordance with Regis’s standard operation procedures. Regis will provide all batch documents to Customer after release of Product. Customer shall accept or reject a batch within [***] from receipt of the relevant and complete batch documentation. If there is no written notification from Customer within the [***], the batch will be deemed accepted by Customer. Customer will have the sole responsibility for the release of products to the market.


 
6.3 Regis will package the Product as set out in the batch record. If additional packaging or subdivision is required, additional charges will apply. 6.4 Regis shall promptly notify and forward to Customer any information concerning any potentially serious or unexpected side effect, injury, toxicity or sensitivity reaction or any unexpected incidence or other adverse experience related to the Product (an “Adverse Experience”) reported to it.

Regis shall have no obligation with respect to an Adverse Experience other than the obligation to notify Customer. Customer will inform Regis of any new data related to safely manufacturing product. 7. CO-OPERATION 7.1 Governmental Agencies. Subject to Section 7.6, each Party may communicate with any governmental agency, including but not limited to governmental agencies responsible for granting regulatory approval for the Product, for Regis communications, only regarding the site-specific Issues related to Product if, in the opinion of that party’s counsel, the communication is necessary to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the requirements of any law, governmental order or regulation. Unless, in the reasonable opinion of its counsel, there is a legal prohibition against doing so, a party will permit the other party to accompany and take part in any communications with the agency, and to receive copies of all communications from the agency. Regis specifically agrees to cooperate with any inspection by the FDA or other regulatory authority, as applicable, and Regis shall bear the costs associated with the hosting of such regulatory agency inspections. Regis shall promptly advise Customer of any notice or request that it receives from a governmental agency or regulatory authority regarding inspection of its facilities. Regulatory services will be provided at an additional fee. 7.2 Records and Accounting by Regis. Regis will keep records of the manufacture, testing, and shipping of the Product, and retain samples of the Products that are necessary to comply with manufacturing regulatory requirements. Copies of the records and samples will also be retained by Regis in accordance with the Quality Agreement and relevant SOPs. 7.3 Inspection. During the term of this Agreement and for [***] after its expiration or termination, Customer or its designee may inspect Regis Facility, reports and records relating to this Agreement, excluding the financial records of the company, during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice, but a Regis representative must be present during the inspection Regis will schedule and


 
conduct inspections in accordance with the Quality Agreement and relevant SOPs. Inspections performed after termination of this agreement will be performed at Customer’s expense. 7.4 Access. During the term of this Agreement and for [***] after its expiration or termination, Regis will give Customer reasonable access at agreed times to the areas of the Facility in which the Product is manufactured, stored, handled, or shipped to permit Customer to verify that the manufacturing services are being performed in accordance with the Specifications, GMPs, and applicable laws. Access to the Facility, except for cause audits, necessary to determine if corrective actions were taken, will be addressed in accordance with the Quality Agreement. The right of access set forth in this Section 7.5 will not include a right to access or inspect Regis’s financial records. The terms for which audits are conducted are defined in the Quality Agreement. 7.5 Reports. Regis will supply all necessary data/documentation to Customer, at Customer’s reasonable discretion, needed to maintain regulatory filings as defined in the quality agreement. 7.6 Regulatory Cooperation. (a) Regulatory Authority. Customer will have the sole authority and responsibility for filing all documents with all regulatory authorities and taking any other actions that may be required for the receipt and/or maintenance of regulatory authority approval for the commercial manufacture of the Product. Regis will assist Customer at Customer’s expense, to obtain regulatory authority approval for the commercial manufacture of all Products as quickly as reasonably possible and then subsequently, to maintain any such approval. In addition, at Customer’s request Regis shall to a commercially reasonable extent make appropriate personnel available for meetings with Regulatory Authorities related to the manufacture of the Product. Regis shall be responsible for all regulatory filings and regulatory compliance relating to the Regis Facility. In addition, at Customer’s expense Regis agrees to reasonably cooperate with Customer (or its designees) with respect to Customer’s obligations to submit or report information relevant to Product pursuant to FDA and other Regulatory Authorities or to comply with Applicable Laws relevant to the Production Facility. (b) Customer Responsibility. Subject to the foregoing, Regis will not assume any responsibility for the accuracy of any application for receipt of an approval by a regulatory authority. Customer is solely responsible for the preparation and filing of the application for approval by the regulatory authority and any relevant costs will be borne by the Customer. (c) Annual Product Review. Regis shall prepare annual reports and/or product quality reviews (collectively, “Annual Product Reviews”) with respect to the Product as detailed in the Quality Agreement. (d) Inspection by Regulatory Authorities. Customer shall notify Regis if actions taken by Customer could prompt a Regulatory inspection. The terms for notification are defined in the Quality Agreement.


 
8. SHIPMENTS Delivery terms shall be [***]. Regis will coordinate the shipping of product using an agreed upon vendor and agreed upon conditions with the Customer. Customer is responsible for all shipping, insurance and related charges. These fees will be invoiced to Customer as a pass-through cost with no mark-up. Title and risk of loss for the Product shall transfer to Customer per [***]. Each shipment of Product shall be accompanied by a certificate of analysis, which will include a signed certification of GMP compliance and such additional documents as may be specified in the Quality Agreement. 9. PRODUCT CLAIMS 9.1 Product Claims. Customer has the right to reject any portion of any shipment of Product that deviates from the Specifications, GMPs or Applicable Laws without invalidating the remainder of the shipment. Customer will inspect the Product upon receipt and will give Regis written notice (a “Deficiency Notice”) of all claims for Products that deviate from the Specifications, GMPs or Applicable Laws within [***] after product release. Should Customer fail to give Regis the Deficiency Notice within the applicable period, then the delivery will be deemed to have been accepted by Customer. Subject to Section 6.2, Regis will have no liability for any deviations for which it has not received notice within the applicable period, or any agreed extension. The Deficiency Notice shall state in reasonable detail the reason why the Product is rejected. Customer also may reject Product delivered hereunder for Latent Defects (as defined below) provided Customer notifies Regis in writing no later than the earlier of: (a) [***] of discovery of a Latent Defect, and (b) [***] from the date of Product’s manufacture. If it is confirmed that the cause of the Latent Defect is attributable to Regis, then Regis will replace at no cost to Customer all such latently defective Product with Product that meets the Product Specifications. All other relevant provisions of Section 9.1 will apply to the inspection, testing and release of such replacement Product. Replacement of the latently defective Product shall be Customer’s sole remedy under this Agreement. The Parties will consult to confirm the cause of the Latent Defects. In the event of disagreement between the Parties as to the existence or cause of a Latent Defect, the Parties shall refer the dispute to an independent laboratory as set forth in Section 6.2(a). “Latent Defects” shall mean any defects in the Product to meet Product Requirements that existed at the time of delivery to Customer but could not be reasonably detected upon review of records or the initial testing and inspection of the Product, provided that such defects are unrelated to the shipping or storage of the Product after acceptance. Regis shall not be responsible for any Latent Defects that are attributable to the Starting Material. 9.2 Determination of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Regis will have [***] to advise Customer by notice in writing that it disagrees with the contents of the Deficiency Notice. If Customer and Regis fail to agree within [***] after Regis’s notice to Customer as to whether any Product deviates from the Specifications, GMPs or Applicable Laws, then the parties will mutually select an independent laboratory to evaluate Product deviations from the


 
Specifications, GMPs or applicable laws. This evaluation will be final and binding on the parties. If the evaluation certifies that Product deviates from the Specifications, GMPs or applicable laws, Customer may reject this Product and Regis will be responsible for the costs of the evaluation. If the evaluation does not so certify, then Customer will be deemed to have accepted the relevant Product and Customer will be responsible for the costs of the evaluation. 9.3 Suspension of Payments. If any Product is rejected by Customer, Customer’s duty to pay all amounts payable to Regis in respect of the Rejected Product shall be (i) suspended until such time as it is determined by an independent laboratory or consultant that the Products in question were unreasonably rejected by Customer, or (ii) waived and null and void if it is determined by an independent laboratory or consultant that the Rejected Products were reasonably rejected by Customer. If only a portion of an order is rejected, only the duty to pay the amount allocable to such portion shall be suspended or waived, as applicable. 9.4 Regis’ Responsibility for Defective Product. If Customer rejects Product and the deviation is determined to have arisen from Regis’s failure to manufacture the Product in accordance with the relevant Specifications, GMPs or Applicable Laws, Regis will as soon as reasonably practicable given other commitments of Regis in the Production Facility and at no cost to Customer and at Customer’s sole discretion: (a) manufacture and deliver to Customer sufficient Product to replace the defective Product, or (b) credit or reimburse (as the case may be) the amount paid by Customer to Regis for the deficient Product (including all shipping cost) if the cause of the nonconforming batch was solely Regis’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. 10. RESERVED 11. PRICES, MAINTENANCE FEE, AND PAYMENT TERMS 11.1 The purchase price payable by Customer to Regis for the Product delivered to Customer hereunder as well as the methodology for price adjustment during the Term are set forth in Exhibit 3. 11.2 Beginning with the first anniversary of the Agreement, Regis will invoice Customer for an annual Product Maintenance Fee as set forth in Exhibit 3. This annual Maintenance Fee will be invoiced upon completion of the Annual Product Review each year for the duration of the Agreement. Such fee will include: (i) the Annual Product Review as described in Section 7.8(c); (ii) storage of SM safety stock; and (iii) storage of up to [***] of Product. If it is necessary to store more than two batches of Product to meet Customer’s safety stock requirements, storage of additional batches will be invoiced separately as set forth in Exhibit 3. Regis agrees to store up to [***] at any one time. 11.3 Invoices will be sent to Customer when the Product is released by Regis Quality Assurance. Each invoice will, to the extent applicable, identify Customer’s purchase order number, Product quantity, unit price, freight charges, and the total amount to be paid by Customer.


 
11.4 Customer will pay all invoices within [***] of the date of Customer’s receipt of undisputed invoice thereof, unless Customer has notified Regis within such 30-day period that it disputes any particular invoiced item(s), which dispute the parties shall attempt to resolve in good faith. Interest on past due accounts will accrue at 2% per month. Regis will provide Customer with [***] notice of its delinquency prior to the addition of interest. 11.5 The Product Price, and any other fees or charges by Regis to Customer pursuant to this Agreement do not include value added, sales, use, consumption, or excise taxes of any taxing authority. The amount of such taxes, if any, will be added on the invoices submitted to Customer by Regis pursuant to this Agreement as a separate line item and Customer shall pay the amount of such taxes to Regis in accordance with the payment provisions of this Agreement. 12.

EXCEPT FOR A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, EACH PARTY’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT PER CALENDAR YEAR FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LIABILITY ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR RESULTING FROM ANY AND ALL BREACHES OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED [***].


 
13.3 Regis Indemnity. Regis agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Customer, its Affiliates and their officers, employees, and agents harmless against any and all losses, damages, costs, claims, demands, judgments and liability resulting from (i) a failure by Regis to manufacture the Product in accordance with the Specifications, GMPs, and Applicable Laws, or (ii) a material breach of this Agreement by Regis, including, without limitation, any representations or warranties contained herein, except to the extent that the losses, damages, costs, claims, demands, judgments, and lability are due to the gross negligence or wrongful act(s) of Customer, its officers, employees, agents, or Affiliates. If a claim occurs, Customer will: (a) promptly notify Regis of the claim; (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the claim; (c) reasonably cooperate with Regis in the defense of the claim; and (d) permit Regis to control the defense and settlement of the claim, all at Regis’s cost and expense (provided that no settlement of a claim other than for monetary damages to be paid by Regis shall be made without Customer’s prior written consent). 13.4 Customer Indemnity.

This Agreement including, without limitation, this Section 13 is reasonable and creates a reasonable allocation of risk for the relative profits the Parties each expect to derive from the Product. Regis assumes only a limited degree of risk arising from the manufacture, distribution, and use of the Product because Customer has developed and holds the marketing approval for the Product, Customer requires Regis to manufacture the Product strictly in accordance with the Specifications, GMPs and applicable laws, and Customer, not Regis, is best positioned to inform and advise potential users about the circumstances and manner of use of the Product. 14.

15. CONFIDENTIALITY 15.1 Confidentiality of information disclosed by one of the parties hereto (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other (the “Receiving Party”) is governed by Section 15.2. 15.2 All information regarding the Disclosing Party’s business in general given or known to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party hereunder and the existence and contents of this Agreement are confidential. All information regarding the Product and Customer Intellectual Property shall be considered Customer confidential information and Customer shall be considered the Disclosing Party with regard to any Customer confidential information. During the term of this Agreement and for [***] thereafter, unless any written consent by the Disclosing Party or written agreement between the parties provides otherwise, the Receiving Party must treat such information in strict confidence as it would treat its own proprietary information. The Receiving Party may not divulge such information to any third party except (x) to the extent required to obtain official licenses from local or national authorities, (y) as required by law or regulation or legal or regulatory proceedings; provided, however, that the Receiving Party gives (to the extent legally permissible) prior written notice of such requirement to the Disclosing Party and reasonably cooperates (at the Disclosing Party’s sole cost) with the Receiving Party’s efforts to limit such disclosure and (z) to the Receiving Party’s employees, officers, directors, consultants and professional advisors who need to know such information and who are bound by obligations of confidentiality at least as stringent as those set forth herein. In addition, each Party may disclose confidential information to third parties in connection with due diligence or similar investigations by such third parties, and disclosures to potential third party investors and lenders in confidential financing or loan documents, provided, in each case, that (A) any such third party agrees to be bound by reasonable obligations of confidentiality and non-use and (B) the Disclosing Party provides prior written consent; provided, that Regis agrees that Customer may disclose such information to its existing lenders or their successors).

The burden of proof regarding the existence of any of the above contingencies will lie with the Receiving Party. 15.3 In the context of this section Affiliates will not be considered as third parties provided that they assume the secrecy obligations set forth in this Agreement and are therefore bound to the secrecy obligations of the respective party hereto. Each party shall be liable towards the other party for the compliance of its Affiliates with the secrecy and non-use obligations hereunder.


 
15.4 Both Parties agree that upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, or, at the other’s request, and subject only to any applicable regulatory requirements, it shall (and shall cause its directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, representatives and advisors to) return to the other Party all parts of the other Party’s Confidential Material and return or destroy any copies thereof made by it, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents or representatives. However, each Party may retain one (1) copy of the other Party’s Confidential Material for archival purposes. Section 14 shall remain binding on the parties during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of [***] after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, regardless of the cause of such expiration or termination or from last disclosure, whichever is longer. 15.5 Each Party acknowledges that disclosure or distribution of the other Party’s Confidential Material or use of the other Party’s Confidential Material contrary to the terms of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm for which damages at law may not be an adequate remedy, and agrees that the provisions of this Agreement prohibiting disclosure or distribution of the other Party’s Confidential Material or use contrary to the provisions hereof may be specifically enforced by a court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of proving actual damages in addition to any and all other remedies available at law or in equity. 16.

The Parties shall consult each other in order to minimize the other Party’s damage and costs and all other negative effects of the force majeure event on the performance of the Party invoking force majeure. 17. TERM AND TERMINATION 17.1 This Agreement will enter into force on the Effective Date and will remain in force for seven (7) years, unless the Parties agree to terminate earlier or to extend it. Thereafter, this Agreement shall renew for successive three (3) year periods each, unless notice of termination is


 
given by either Party no later than twenty-four (24) months prior to the expiration of the original term or any renewal period thereof. 17.2 Either Party may terminate this Agreement for material breach by the other Party if the breaching Party has not corrected such material breach within sixty (60) days of receipt of written notice thereof from the non-breaching Party. 17.3 Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time with immediate effect by written notice to the other if the other Party is or will in the near future be dissolved, liquidated, bankrupt. 17.4 Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement, if two (2) (a) Late Shipments of Product or (b) Shortages of Supply of Product occur during any two (2) year period, then Customer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately by providing written notice to Regis no later than10 days of receiving notice from Regis of a Shortage of Supply or Late Shipment of Product.

MISCELLANEOUS 18.1 This Agreement represents the complete and entire understanding between the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior negotiations, representations or agreements, either written or oral, regarding this subject matter. This Agreement may be amended only in writing, signed by both Parties. 18.2 In the event any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be void under any law, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected and the void provision shall be deemed to have been replaced by such valid and enforceable provision that most closely reflects the original intention of the parties. 18.3 Failure by Regis or Customer to enforce the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall not affect or impair such terms or conditions, or the right of Regis or Customer to avail itself of such remedies as it may have for any breach of such terms or conditions under the provisions of this Agreement, in equity or at law.


 
18.4 For greater certainty, nothing in this Agreement will confer or be construed as conferring on any third party any benefit or the right to enforce any express or implied term of this Agreement. 18.5 Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Regis from engaging in a business or businesses separate and apart from that of Customer. 18.6 The Parties agree that their rights and obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred to a third party without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto.

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the Parties, their respective successors in interest by way of merger, acquisition, or otherwise, and their permitted assigns. 19. GOVERNING LAW This Agreement will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and the laws of the United States of America applicable therein and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts thereof, without regard to any choice of law principle that would dictate the application of the law of another jurisdiction. 20.
