ARCTURUS THERAPEUTICS HOLDINGS INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or "Arcturus") is a global late-stage clinical messenger RNA medicines company focused on the development of infectious disease vaccines and opportunities within liver and respiratory rare diseases. The Company became a clinical stage company during 2020 when it announced that its Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application for ornithine transcarbamylase (“OTC”) deficiency and its Clinical Trial Application (“CTA”) for candidate LUNAR-COV19 were approved by applicable health authorities.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Arcturus and its subsidiaries and are unaudited. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.

Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results anticipated for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

These condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding the valuation of debt instruments, the equity-method investment, share-based compensation expense, accruals for liabilities, income taxes, revenue and deferred revenue, leases, and other matters that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Joint Ventures, Equity Method Investments and Variable Interest Entities

Investments for which the Company exercises significant influence, but does not have control are accounted for under the equity method. Equity method investment activity is related to a 49% joint venture with Axcelead, Inc. and an ownership in GRI Bio, Inc. (formerly Vallon Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) (see “Note 10, Related Party Transactions” for further details). The Company’s share of the investees’ results is presented as either income or loss from equity method investees in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred significant operating losses since its inception. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $339.9 million and $338.1 million, respectively.

The Company’s activities since inception have consisted principally of research and development activities, general and administrative activities, and raising capital. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding before the Company achieves sustainable revenues and profit from operations. From the Company’s inception through June 30, 2023, the Company has funded its operations principally with the proceeds from the sale of capital stock, revenues earned through collaboration agreements and proceeds from long-term debt.

At June 30, 2023, the Company’s balance of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash and non-current restricted cash, was $380.6 million.

Management believes that it has sufficient working capital on hand to fund operations through at least the next twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing additional funding, that the Company’s projections of its future working capital needs will prove accurate, or that any additional funding would be sufficient to continue operations in future years.

Segment Information

In making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance, the chief operating decision-maker identifies operating segments as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation. The Company and its chief operating decision-maker view the Company’s operations and manage its business in one operating segment, which is the research and development of medical applications for the Company’s nucleic acid-focused technology.

Revenue Recognition

At contract inception, the Company analyzes executed arrangements to assess whether such arrangements involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of such activities and therefore within the scope of ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements (ASC 808). For collaboration arrangements within the scope of ASC 808 that contain multiple elements, the Company first determines which elements of the collaboration reflect a vendor-customer relationship and are therefore within the scope of ASC 606.

The Company determines revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of Topic 606 by performing the following five steps: (i) identify the contract; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the Ccurompany satisfies a performance obligation.

The terms of the Company’s revenue agreements include license fees, upfront payments, milestone payments, reimbursement for research and development activities, option exercise fees, consulting and related technology transfer fees and royalties on sales of commercialized products. Arrangements that include upfront payments are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt or when due and may require deferral of revenue recognition to a future period until the Company performs obligations under these arrangements. The event-based milestone payments represent variable consideration, and the Company uses the most likely amount method to estimate this variable consideration because the Company will either receive the milestone payment or will not, which makes the potential milestone payment a binary event. The most likely amount method requires the Company to determine the likelihood of earning the milestone payment. Given the high degree of uncertainty around achievement of these milestones, the Company determines the milestone amounts to be fully constrained and does not recognize revenue until the uncertainty associated with these payments is resolved. The Company will recognize revenue from sales-based royalty payments when or as the sales occur. The Company will re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period as uncertain events are resolved and other changes in circumstances occur.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the collaborative partner and is the unit of account in Topic 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation based on relative standalone selling price and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.

For performance obligations that are recognized over time, the Company measures the progress using an input method. The input methods used are based on the effort expended or costs incurred toward the satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company estimates the amount of effort expended, including the time estimated it will take to complete the activities, or costs incurred in a given period, relative to the estimated total effort or costs to satisfy the performance obligation. This approach requires the Company to make estimates and use judgment. If estimates or judgments change over the course of the collaboration, a cumulative catch up of revenue is recognized in the period such changes are identified.

See “Note 2, Revenue” for specific details surrounding the Company’s arrangements.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. For operating leases with an initial term greater than 12 months, the Company recognizes operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Operating lease right-of-use assets are comprised of the lease liability plus any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease terms include options to renew or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain that the renewal option will be exercised or when it is reasonably certain that the termination option will not be exercised. For the Company's operating leases, if the interest rate used to determine the present value of future lease payments is not readily determinable, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. The Company's incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in similar economic environments. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components.

See “Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies” for specific details surrounding the Company’s leases.

Research and Development Costs, Net

All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs consist primarily of salaries, employee benefits, costs associated with preclinical studies and clinical trials (including amounts paid to clinical research organizations and other professional services), in process research and development expenses and license agreement expenses, net of any grants and prelaunch inventory. Payments made prior to the performance of research and development services are capitalized until the services are performed.

The Company records accruals for estimated research and development costs, comprising payments for work performed by third party contractors, laboratories, participating clinical trial sites, and others. Some of these contractors bill monthly based on actual services performed, while others bill periodically based upon achieving certain contractual milestones. For the latter, the Company accrues the expenses as goods or services are used or rendered.

Clinical trial activities performed by third parties are accrued and expensed based upon estimates of the proportion of work completed over the life of the individual clinical trial and patient enrollment rates in accordance with agreements established with Clinical Research Organizations ("CROs") and clinical trial sites. Estimates are determined by reviewing contracts, vendor agreements and purchase orders, and through discussions with internal clinical personnel and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of trials or services and the agreed-upon fee to be paid for such services.

Pre-Launch Inventory

Prior to obtaining initial regulatory approval for an investigational product candidate, the Company expenses costs relating to production of inventory as research and development expense in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, in the period incurred. When the Company believes regulatory approval and subsequent commercialization of an investigational product candidate is probable, and the Company also expects future economic benefit from the sales of the investigational product candidate to be realized, it will then capitalize the costs of production as inventory.

Restricted Cash

We include our restricted cash balance in the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reconciliation of operating, investing and financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method.

No dividends were declared or paid during the reported periods.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Note 2. Revenue

The Company has entered into license agreements and collaborative research and development arrangements with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as consulting, related technology transfer and product revenue agreements. Under these arrangements, the Company is entitled to receive license fees, consulting fees, product fees, technological transfer fees, upfront payments, milestone payments if and when certain research and development milestones or technology transfer milestones are achieved, royalties on approved product sales and reimbursement for research and development activities. The Company’s costs of performing these services are included within research and development expenses. The Company’s milestone payments are typically defined by achievement of certain preclinical, clinical, and commercial success criteria. Preclinical milestones may include in vivo proof of concept in disease animal models, lead candidate identification, and completion of IND-enabling toxicology studies. Clinical milestones may, for example, include successful enrollment of the first patient in or completion of Phase 1, 2 and 3 clinical trials, and commercial milestones are often tiered based on net or aggregate sale amounts. The Company cannot guarantee the achievement of these milestones due to risks associated with preclinical and clinical activities required for development of nucleic acid medicine-based therapeutics and vaccines.

The following table presents changes during the six months ended June 30, 2023 in the balances of contract assets and liabilities as compared to what was disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report.

The following paragraphs provide information regarding the nature and purpose of the Company’s most significant collaboration and grant arrangements.

CSL Seqirus

On November 1, 2022, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (as amended, the “CSL Collaboration Agreement”) with Seqirus, Inc., a part of CSL Limited (“CSL Seqirus”), for the global exclusive rights to research, develop, manufacture, and commercialize vaccines. Under the terms of the CSL Collaboration Agreement, the Company will provide CSL Seqirus with an exclusive global license to its STARR® self-amplifying mRNA technology, LUNAR® lipid-mediated delivery, along with mRNA drug substance and drug product manufacturing process. CSL Seqirus will lead development and commercialization of vaccines under the collaboration. The collaboration plans to advance vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), influenza, pandemic preparedness as well as three other respiratory infectious diseases.

The Company received a $200.0 million upfront payment and is eligible to receive over $1.3 billion in development milestones if all products are registered in the licensed fields and entitled to potentially receive up to $3.0 billion in commercial milestones based on net sales of vaccines in the various fields. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive a 40% net profit share for COVID-19 vaccine products and up to low double-digit royalties for vaccines against flu, pandemic preparedness and three other respiratory pathogens.

In March 2023, Arcturus achieved development milestones, including milestones associated with nominating next generation vaccine candidates, resulting in $90.0 million received from CSL Seqirus during the second quarter of 2023. In April 2023 the Company also received an advance payment of $23.6 million for the manufacturing and supply of ARCT-154 drug product. The advance payment was for specified manufacturing runs of ARCT-154 which includes the drug substance utilized, as well as the reservation fees and related manufacturing requirements. The Company concluded that the promise to manufacture and supply ARCT-154 drug product is a customer option as part of the CSL Collaboration Agreement and is accounted for as a separate contract. The advance payment of $23.6 million is included in deferred revenue as of June 30, 2023.

In evaluating the CSL Collaboration Agreement in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, the Company concluded that CSL Seqirus is a customer. The Company identified all promised goods/services within the CSL Collaboration Agreement, and when combining certain promised goods/services, the Company concluded that there are five distinct performance obligations. The nature of the performance obligations consists of delivery of the vaccine license, research and development services for COVID and non-COVID vaccines and regulatory activities for COVID vaccines. For each performance obligation, the Company estimated the standalone selling price based on 1) in the case of the license, the fair value using costs to recreate plus margin method and 2) in the case of research and development services and regulatory activities, cost plus margin for estimated full-time equivalent (“FTE”) costs, direct costs including laboratory supplies, contractors, and other out-of-pocket expenses for research and development services and regulatory activities.

As of June 30, 2023, the transaction price consisted of upfront consideration received and milestones achieved in March 2023. There were no milestones achieved during the second quarter of 2023. Additional variable consideration was not included in the transaction price at June 30, 2023 because the Company could not conclude that it is probable that including the variable consideration will not result in a significant revenue reversal.

The Company allocated the transaction price to the performance obligations in proportion to their standalone selling price. The vaccine license was recognized at the point in time when it was transferred and any additional consideration allocated to the license is recognized at the point that the consideration becomes probable of non-reversal as the performance obligation has been delivered. The research and development and regulatory activities performance obligations are recognized over a period of time based on the percentage of services rendered using the input method, meaning actual costs incurred divided by total costs budgeted to satisfy the performance obligation. Any consideration related to sales-based royalties will be recognized when the amounts are probable of non-reversal, provided that the reported sales are reliably measurable and the Company has no remaining promised goods/services, as they are constrained and therefore have also been excluded from the transaction price. The revenue recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 relates to the license delivered, milestones achieved and services performed.

Total deferred revenue as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $73.4 million and $45.6 million, respectively.

Vinbiocare

During 2021 the Company entered into certain agreements (collectively, the “Vinbiocare License & Supply Agreements”) with Vinbiocare Biotechnology Joint Stock Company (“Vinbiocare”), a member of Vingroup Joint Stock Company, whereby the Company would provide technical expertise and support services to Vinbiocare to assist in the build out of a mRNA drug product manufacturing facility in Vietnam. The Company received an upfront payment in aggregate of $40.0 million as part of the Vinbiocare License & Supply Agreements. In October 2022, the Company and Vinbiocare executed a letter of agreement terminating the License & Supply Agreements. The Company incurred no financial penalties in connection with the termination of the License & Supply Agreements and has no further financial obligations to Vinbiocare under these terminated agreements.

In October 2022, in association with the termination of the License & Supply Agreements, the Company signed the Study Support Agreement with Vinbiocare which provides that Vinbiocare shall continue to serve as the regulatory and financial sponsor of clinical studies conducted in Vietnam of ARCT-154 pursuant to the Company’s arrangements with Vinbiocare (the “Study Support Agreement”). To support the continuing activities of these studies, the Study Support Agreement further provides for the Company to conduct certain services and to compensate Vinbiocare to help achieve the objectives of these studies. In February 2023, the Company agreed to provide additional financial support in the amount of approximately $2.1 million to allow Vinbiocare to provide additional study support duties related to the ARCT-154 clinical study. As a result, the Company reserved $11.8 million of the original upfront payment to be paid to Vinbiocare over the future periods pursuant to the Study Support Agreement by reclassifying a portion of the upfront payment received from Vinbiocare pursuant to the License & Supply Agreements, from deferred revenue to short-term and long-term liabilities, based on the anticipated timing of the payments to Vinbiocare, and removed that portion of the upfront payment from the transaction price of the modified arrangement. The transaction price was not adjusted for payments that are contingent upon the occurrence of future regulatory or sales-related events based on the information currently available to the Company.

The Company has concluded that it has no remaining performance obligations under its prior arrangements with Vinbiocare as summarized above as of June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has accrued liabilities related to this arrangement of $4.0 million in current liabilities and $1.4 million in non-current liabilities that will be paid upon the occurrence of specified events through the first quarter of 2025. Vinbiocare is also eligible to receive a single digit percentage of amounts from net sales, if any, of ARCT-154 (or next-generation COVID vaccine) up to a capped amount of low single digit millions. The Company has no remaining deferred revenue as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Janssen

In October 2017, the Company entered into a research collaboration and license agreement with Janssen (the “2017 Agreement”) to collaborate on developing candidates for treating HBV with RNA therapeutics. The 2017 Agreement allocated discovery, development, funding obligations, and ownership of related intellectual property among the Company and Janssen. The Company received an upfront payment of $7.7 million and was reimbursed for research costs as incurred.

On October 31, 2022, Arcturus received notice of termination from Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. of the 2017 Agreement, and the termination was effective as of December 30, 2022. The Company did not incur any penalties as a result of this termination. As of June 30, 2023, the licenses granted to Janssen have terminated and the Company recognized the remaining upfront consideration received and development milestone achieved in October of 2021.

The Company has no remaining deferred revenue as of June 30, 2023 and total deferred revenue as of December 31, 2022 for Janssen was $0.4 million.

BARDA Grant

In August 2022, the Company entered into a cost reimbursement contract with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority ("BARDA"), a division of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for an award of up to $63.2 million for the development of a pandemic influenza vaccine using the Company's STARR® self-amplifying mRNA vaccine platform technology. The Company earns grant revenue for performing tasks under the agreement.

The Company determined that the agreement with BARDA is not in the scope of ASC 808 or ASC 606. Applying International Accounting Standards No. 20 ("IAS 20"), Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, by analogy, the Company recognizes grant revenue from the reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenses, overhead allocations and fringe benefits for research costs associated with the grant. The costs associated with these reimbursements are reflected as a component of research and development expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company recognized $1.0 million and $1.5 million of revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the remaining available funding net of revenue earned was $61.4 million.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

The Company establishes the fair value of its assets and liabilities using 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. The Company established a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists and are therefore determined using estimates and assumptions developed by the Company, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

The carrying value of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and the Singapore Loan (as defined below) approximate their respective fair values due to their relative short maturities. Prior to payoff of long-term debt in Q1 2023, the carrying amounts of long-term debt for the amount drawn on the Company’s debt facility approximated fair value as the interest rate was variable and reflected current market rates.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of cash equivalents and money market funds, which were classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of these financial instruments was measured based on quoted prices.

On April 21, 2023, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Arcturus Therapeutics, Inc. entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) whereby Wells Fargo will make a $50.0 million revolving credit line available to the Company (the “Loan”) and each Loan evidenced by a revolving line of credit note (the “Note”).

Borrowings under the agreement will bear interest at a rate of 1.00% above either the Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR (as such terms are defined in the Note), with “SOFR” being the rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. If an Event of Default (as defined in the agreement) occurs, then all Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to 2.00% above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.

The term of the agreement is two years, with an option for one-year renewals subject to Wells Fargo approval and the Company furnishing to Wells Fargo a non-refundable commitment fee equal to 0.25% of the Loan amount for each such renewal. There is no penalty for terminating the facility prior to the maturity date of the Note.

Manufacturing Support Agreement

On November 7, 2020, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Arcturus Therapeutics, Inc., entered into a Manufacturing Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with the Economic Development Board of the Republic of Singapore (the “EDB”). Pursuant to the Support Agreement, the EDB agreed to make a term loan (the “Singapore Loan”) of S$62.1 million to the Company, subject to the satisfaction of customary deliveries, to support the manufacture of the LUNAR-COV19 vaccine candidate (ARCT-021). The Singapore Loan accrued interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum calculated on a daily basis. The Company elected to borrow the full amount available under the Support Agreement of S$62.1 million ($46.6 million) on January 29, 2021. During the first quarter of 2023, the EDB agreed to an extension of the reconciliation period to March 22, 2023, with unused funds not utilized for the manufacture of ARCT-021 as of such date returned to the EDB. As of December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of the Singapore Loan, which includes accrued interest, was $50.4 million of which the Company paid S$22.8 million ($17.1 million) in March 2023. During the first quarter of 2023, the remaining principal portion of the Singapore Loan plus accrued interest, totaling $34.0 million, was forgiven and recorded as a gain on debt extinguishment in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded no interest expense, compared to interest expense of $0.5 million for the same period in 2022.

The Western Alliance Agreement provided for a collateralized term loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $15.0 million, with interest at a floating rate ranging from 1.25% to 2.75% above the prime rate and a maturity date of October 30, 2023. The payoff amount was made by the Company to Western Alliance from available cash on hand, pursuant to a payoff letter, and included payment of (i) approximately $7.0 million in principal and interest, (ii) $0.3 million fee payable upon prepayment as a result of prior FDA approval of an IND and (iii) de minimis amounts in prepayment charges and various operational fees. The Company was released from all liens under the Western Alliance Agreement.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded no interest expense, compared to interest expense of $0.2 million for the same period in 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded interest expense of $0.3 million.

Note 6. Stockholders’ Equity

Net Loss per Share

Potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as they were anti-dilutive totaled 1.0 million and 0.8 million, respectively, and 0.6 million and 0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Note 7. Share-Based Compensation Expense

In June 2022 at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2022 Annual Meeting"), the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s 2019 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2019 Plan”) which, among other things, increased the aggregate number of shares authorized for use in making awards to eligible persons under the 2019 Plan by 3,750,000 shares, for a total of up to 8,750,000 shares available for issuance. As of June 30, 2023, a total of 1,645,061 shares remain available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan, subject to the terms of the 2019 Plan.

In October 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan which covers the award of up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock (the “2021 Plan”) effective as of October 15, 2021. Approval of the Company’s stockholders is not required as a condition to the effectiveness of the 2021 Plan for so long as the plan is in compliance with applicable Nasdaq inducement plan rules. In April 2022, the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors approved a proposal to reduce the total number of shares available for future issuance under the 2021 Plan to 130,000. As of June 30, 2023, a total of 96,400 shares remain available for future issuance under the 2021 Plan, subject to the terms of the 2021 Plan.

Total	$	8,383	$	7,274	$	16,565	$	14,645

Note 8. Income Taxes

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various states. The Company computes its quarterly income tax provision by using a forecasted annual effective tax rate and adjusts for any discrete items arising during the quarter. The primary difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate is due to federal and state income tax expense offset by valuation allowance on the Company's deferred tax assets.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $0.6 million and $0.7 million of income tax expense, respectively. No tax benefit was provided for losses incurred in United States because those losses are offset by a full valuation allowance.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Agreement

On August 1, 2019, the Company amended its Development Program Letter Agreement, dated May 16, 2017 and as amended July 13, 2018, with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (“CFF”). Pursuant to the amendment, (i) CFF increased the amount it will award to advance LUNAR-CF to $15.0 million from approximately $3.2 million, (ii) the Company will provide $5.0 million in matching funds for remaining budgeted costs, (iii) the related disbursement schedule from CFF to Arcturus will be modified such that (a) $4.0 million will be disbursed upon execution of the CFF Amendment, (b) $2.0 million will be disbursed within 30 days of the first day of each of January, April, July and October 2020 upon Arcturus invoicing CFF to meet project goals, and (c) the last payment of $3.0 million less the prior award previously paid out, equaling approximately $2.1 million. In the first quarter of 2023, the last payment of $2.1 million was disbursed upon the Company invoicing CFF to meet good manufacturing practices and opening an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application. All remaining funds received from CFF were recognized as contra research and development expense during the year ended 2022. As such, no contra expense was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2023. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized contra expense of $1.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

Leases

In October 2017, the Company entered into a non-cancellable operating lease agreement for office space adjacent to its previously occupied headquarters. The commencement of the lease began in March 2018 and the lease extends for approximately 84 months from the commencement date with a remaining lease term through March 2025. Monthly rental payments are due under the lease and there are escalating rent payments during the term of the lease. The Company is also responsible for its proportional share of operating expenses of the building and common areas. In conjunction with the new lease, the Company received free rent for four months and received a tenant improvement allowance of $74,000. The lease may be extended for one five-year period at the then current market rate with annual escalations; however, the Company deemed the extension option not reasonably certain to be exercised and therefore excluded the option from the lease terms. The Company entered into an irrevocable standby letter of credit with the landlord for a security deposit of $96,000 upon executing the lease which is included (along with additional funds required to secure the letter of credit) in the balance of non-current restricted cash.

In February 2020, the Company entered into a second non-cancellable operating lease agreement for office space near its current headquarters. The lease extended for 13 months from the commencement date and included a right to extend the lease for one twelve-month period. In February 2021, the Company opted to extend the lease through March 2025 to coincide with the lease term of the Company’s headquarters.

In September 2021, the Company entered into a third non-cancellable lease agreement for office, research and development, engineering and laboratory space near its current headquarters and lease term commenced during the second quarter of 2022. The initial term of the lease extends ten years and eight months from the date of possession, and the Company has the right to extend the term of the lease for an additional five-year period. When the lease term was determined for the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the extension option for the lease was not included. The lease has a monthly base rent ranging from $268,000 to $360,000 which escalates over the lease term. The Company received a free rent period of four months and also pays for various operating costs, including utilities and real property taxes. The Company entered into an irrevocable standby letter of credit with the landlord for a security deposit of $2.0 million upon executing the lease which is included (along with additional funds required to secure the letter of credit) in the balance of non-current restricted cash.

Operating lease right-of-use asset and liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets represent the present value of remaining lease payments over the remaining lease terms. The Company does not allocate lease payments to non-lease components; therefore, payments for common-area-maintenance and administrative services are not included in the operating lease right-of-use asset and liability. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of the lease payments, as the implicit rate in the lease is not readily determinable.

As of June 30, 2023, the remaining payments of the operating lease liability were as follows:


(in thousands)	Remaining Lease Payments
2023	$	2,755
2024		5,646
2025		4,019
2026		3,603
Thereafter		23,283
Total remaining lease payments		39,306
Less: imputed interest		(7,103	)
Total operating lease liabilities	$	32,203
Weighted-average remaining lease term	8.5 years
Weighted-average discount rate		4.9	%

Operating lease costs consist of the fixed lease payments included in operating lease liability and are recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Operating lease costs were $1.4 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $1.4 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Note 10. Related Party Transactions

Equity-Method Investment

In June 2018, the Company completed the sale of its intangible asset related to the ADAIR technology. Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement for ADAIR, the Company received a 30% ownership interest in the common stock of Vallon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Vallon”) in consideration for the sale of the ADAIR technology. Vallon completed an initial public offering and began trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker “VLON” in February 2021. Additionally, Vallon executed the sale of 3,700,000 shares of common stock through a private placement in May 2022 as well as an exercise of warrants for 2,960,000 shares of common stock in August and December 2022.

On December 13, 2022, Vallon entered into an agreement with GRI Bio, Inc. (“GRI Bio”) pursuant to which GRI Bio was to merge with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vallon in an all-stock transaction. The transaction closed in April 2023 and the Company's executive resigned from the board of directors of Vallon. Following the closing of the merger, the combined company now operates under the name “GRI Bio, Inc.” and will focus on the development of GRI Bio’s pipeline and trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “GRI”. Following the closing of the merger, the Company holds 28,125 shares in GRI Bio, or approximately 1%. Upon the closing of the merger, the Company determined that it did not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of GRI Bio. As such, the Company discontinued equity method of accounting for its investment in GRI Bio.

Overview

We are a global late-stage clinical messenger RNA medicines company focused on the development of infectious disease vaccines and opportunities within liver and respiratory rare diseases. In addition to our messenger RNA (“mRNA”) platform, our proprietary lipid nanoparticle (“LNP”) delivery system, LUNAR®, has the potential to enable multiple nucleic acid medicines, and our proprietary self-amplifying mRNA technology (Self-Transcribing and Replicating RNA, or STARR™, technology) has the potential to provide longer-lasting RNA and sustained protein expression at lower dose levels as compared to conventional mRNA.

We are leveraging our proprietary LUNAR platform and our nucleic acid technologies to develop and advance a pipeline of mRNA-based vaccines and therapeutics for infectious diseases and rare genetic disorders with significant unmet medical needs. We continue to expand this platform by adding new innovative delivery solutions that allow us to expand our discovery efforts. Our proprietary LUNAR technology is intended to address the major hurdles in RNA drug development, namely the effective and safe delivery of RNA therapeutics to disease-relevant target tissues. We believe the versatility of our platform to target multiple tissues, its compatibility with various nucleic acid therapeutics, and our expertise in developing scalable manufacturing processes can allow us to deliver on the next generation of nucleic acid medicines.

Business Updates

Updates on Vaccine Program

In November 2022, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “CSL Collaboration Agreement”) with Seqirus, Inc. (“CSL Seqirus”), a part of CSL Limited, and one of the world’s leading influenza vaccine providers, for the global exclusive rights to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize self-amplifying mRNA vaccines against COVID-19, influenza and three other respiratory infectious diseases with non-exclusive rights to pandemic pathogens. The CSL Collaboration Agreement became effective on December 8, 2022. The collaboration combines CSL Seqirus’ established global vaccine commercial and manufacturing infrastructure with Arcturus’ manufacturing expertise and innovative STARR® self-amplifying mRNA vaccine and LUNAR® delivery platform technologies. Under the framework of our collaboration with CSL Seqirus, we are evaluating in preclinical studies the efficacy and safety of a seasonal influenza vaccine (our LUNAR-FLU mRNA vaccine candidate). Pursuant to a third party study agreement executed in December 2022 with Meiji Seika Pharma Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Meiji Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Meiji”), a Japanese leader in the area of infectious disease, a Phase 3 clinical trial of ARCT-154 was initiated in Japan by Meiji to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of a booster shot of ARCT-154, and to evaluate non-inferiority of ARCT-154 as a booster. The trial targeted a total of 780 adult participants, with half in the ARCT-154 group and half in a comparator group (Comirnaty®, Pfizer-BioNTech), and completed enrollment with 828 participants in February 2023.

On April 11, 2023, Meiji announced that it entered into an agreement with CSL Seqirus for the distribution and sales of ARCT-154, our self-amplifying mRNA vaccine candidate against COVID-19, in Japan.

On April 28, 2023, Meiji announced that it submitted to the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) a New Drug Application (NDA) to manufacture and market ARCT-154 for primary immunization to prevent COVID-19 in adults in Japan.

In April 2023, we received an advance payment of $23.6 million for the manufacturing and supply of ARCT-154 from CSL Seqirus. The advance payment is for specified manufacturing runs of ARCT-154 which includes the drug substance utilized, as well as the reservation fees and related manufacturing requirements.

On June 30, 2023, Meiji announced that it submitted an additional application to the PMDA for a booster dose of ARCT-154 to prevent COVID-19 in adults in Japan.

On July 13, 2023, an article titled “Booster dose of self-amplifying SARS-CoV-2 RNA vaccine vs. mRNA vaccine: a phase 3 comparison of ARCT-154 with Comirnaty” posted on medRxiv.org at https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.07.13.23292597v1. The article is based on interim results of the Phase 3 clinical trial of ARCT-154 conducted in Japan by Meiji evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of ARCT-154 compared to Comirnaty as a booster against COVID-19. The article is a preprint and has not been certified by peer review.

On August 7, 2023, we announced that Phase1/2 clinical trial data demonstrated one-year durability of immune response following ARCT-154 booster vaccine administration as measured using validated microneutralization (MNT) assays. The Phase 1/2 study data is from 12 participants in the United States and Singapore. The geometric mean fold rise (GMFR) in neutralizing antibodies remained greater than 10-fold above baseline for one year across a panel of SARS-CoV-2 variants, including ancestral strain with the D614G mutation, Beta (B.1.351), Delta (B.1.617.2), and Omicron (BA.1), for participants receiving ARCT-154 booster. Participants

who received any non-study COVID-19 vaccines or had a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR result were excluded from the analysis after the event. Additional exploratory assays demonstrated similar trends.

Geometric mean fold rise (GMFR) of neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 variants (versus pre-booster levels) after ARCT-154 booster vaccination measured by validated psuedoviral microneutralization assays (N=12). Error bars represent the 95% CI. GMFR values are included in white. Participants who received any COVID-19 vaccines or had laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection during the follow-up period were excluded from immunogenicity analysis at sampling times after the event.

Key Updates on Arcturus-Owned mRNA Therapeutic Development Candidates

The following chart represents our current pipeline of Arcturus-Owned mRNA Therapeutic Candidates:

•

LUNAR-OTC/ARCT-810 - Our rare disease program for ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency is continuing to advance.

A Phase 1b study in stable OTC-deficient adults is being conducted in the United States. The trial is designed to assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of ARCT-810, as well as various exploratory biomarkers of drug activity. The study has completed enrollment and dosing of all four cohorts (N = 16 subjects).

A Phase 2 multiple-dose study of ARCT-810 in OTC-deficient adolescents and adults initiated dosing in December 2022 and plans to enroll approximately 24 participants in 2 dose cohorts. The study has been approved by the regulatory authorities in the UK and several other countries in Europe.

In June 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) granted Fast Track Designation to ARCT-810. Fast Track Designation is designed to facilitate development and expedite review of new therapeutics intended to treat serious or life-threatening conditions that demonstrate the potential to address important unmet medical needs.

In June 2023, we received Rare Pediatric Disease Designation from the FDA. Rare Pediatric Disease Designation is designed to recognize rare pediatric diseases in which the serious or life-threatening manifestations primarily affect patients from birth to 18 years of age. Due to such designation, if ARCT-810 achieves approval for a pediatric indication in the original rare pediatric disease product application in the United States, Arcturus (or the sponsor of ARCT-810) will receive a voucher for priority review of a subsequent marketing application for a different product.

•

LUNAR-CF/ARCT-032 – Our program for cystic fibrosis is being supported in part by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Results from preclinical studies demonstrate robust protein expression in respiratory epithelium treated with LUNAR-mRNA in vitro and in vivo. Further, CF human bronchial epithelial cells treated with ARCT-032 in vitro demonstrate restoration of CFTR activity.

A CTA was filed in December 2022 for the first-in-human study, and we completed dosing of the Phase 1 single ascending dosing study in 32 healthy participants (eight subjects in each of four cohorts).

In August 2023 we received regulatory approval of a protocol amendment to allow the transition to a Phase 1b clinical study of ARCT-032 in up to eight adults with CF.

Updates on Collaboration Agreements

Ultragenyx

On October 26, 2015, we entered into a Research Collaboration and License Agreement with Ultragenyx, which was later amended in 2017, 2018 and during the second quarter of 2019 (as amended, the “Ultragenyx Agreement”). On December 1, 2021, Ultragenyx announced that the first patient had been dosed in its Phase 1/2 study of UX053, an investigational messenger RNA therapy in development under the collaboration for the treatment of Glycogen Storage Disease Type III, and thus the first milestone under the collaboration agreement had been met. Ultragenyx has completed dosing in the single ascending dose, or SAD, stage of the Phase 1/2 study of UX053 with no safety issues observed. Ultragenyx has disclosed that it will not enroll patients in the multiple ascending dose cohorts at this time to allow greater focus on its other late-stage and larger indication clinical programs. Ultragenyx has announced that the data from the SAD cohort are being analyzed and expected in the second quarter of 2023. On June 18, 2023, the exclusivity period for reserved targets expired. Prior to this expiration, Ultragenyx exercised its option with respect to some of its reserved targets thereby converting them to development targets under the agreement.

CureVac

On January 1, 2018, we entered into a Development and Option Agreement with CureVac, which was amended on May 3, 2018, restated on September 28, 2018 and amended on July 24, 2019 (as amended and restated, the “Development and Option Agreement”). Under the terms of the Development and Option Agreement, CureVac and Arcturus agreed to conduct joint preclinical development programs and we granted CureVac a license to develop and commercialize certain products incorporating certain of our technology (the “Arcturus LMD Technology”) and CureVac technology. CureVac did not exercise its option to extend the term prior to its expiration, and the Development and Option Agreement expired as of July 24, 2023.

Updates on Research and Platform Activities

We continue to conduct exploratory platform development activities, including the evaluation of genome editing, and new targeting approaches, where our LUNAR® and STARR® platforms could potentially be useful for identification and development of additional products for our portfolio.

Updates on Supply and Manufacturing

We have built a global manufacturing footprint with our partners, including Aldevron, Catalent, Recipharm, Polymun and Arcalis. With such collaborations we have established an Integrated Global Supply Chain Network with our primary and secondary sourcing contract development & manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) based in the United States, EU and Asia for producing critical raw materials, drug substance, and packaged finished product. As the market for COVID vaccines shifts from multi-dose vial formats to lower and single-dose vial formats, we continue, with our collaborator CSL Seqirus, to evaluate and advance manufacturing process and capabilities and technology transfers, and prepare for stockpiling and commercialization of COVID vaccines.

Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Report and our audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2022. Our historical results of operations and the year-to-year comparisons of our results of operations that follow are not necessarily indicative of future results.

Revenue

We enter into arrangements with pharmaceutical and biotechnology partners and government agencies that may contain upfront payments, license fees for research and development arrangements, research and development funding, milestone payments, option exercise and exclusivity fees, royalties on future sales, consulting fees and payments for technology transfers. The following table summarizes our total revenues for the periods indicated:

* Greater than 100%

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of external manufacturing costs, in-vivo research studies and clinical trials performed by contract research organizations, clinical and regulatory consultants, personnel related expenses, facility related

expenses and laboratory supplies related to conducting research and development activities. Research and development expenses were $52.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared with $38.2 million in the comparable period last year, primarily reflecting increased clinical research and manufacturing costs of $11.4 million and an increase of $2.9 million in personnel related costs. Research and development expenses were $104.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with $83.1 million in the comparable period last year, primarily reflecting increased manufacturing costs of $11.1 million, an increase of $5.9 million in personnel related costs, an increase in consulting expenses of $1.8 million, an increase of $1.3 million in facilities expense and a decrease of contra research and development expenses recognized of $2.7 million. The increase was primarily offset by a decrease of clinical-related expenses of $1.2 million. We expect that our research and development efforts and associated costs will increase and continue to be substantial over the next several years as our pipeline progresses.

Early-stage programs represent programs that are in the pre-clinical or Phase 1 clinical stage and may be partnered or unpartnered, including the LUNAR-CF and LUNAR-FLU programs. Discovery technologies represent our efforts to expand our product pipeline and are primarily related to pre-partnered studies and new capabilities assessment. For some of our programs, the activities are part of our collaborative and other relationships and the expenses may be partially offset with funds that have been awarded to the Company. The expenses primarily consist of external manufacturing costs, lab supplies, equipment, and consulting and professional fees. Both early stage programs and discovery technologies expenses are expected to steadily increase over the coming years.

Personnel related expenses primarily consist of employee salaries and benefits, share-based compensation and consultants and are expected to continue to increase in the near future as we continue increase headcount to meet the needs of our external pipeline, platform and clinical trial efforts. Additionally, personnel related expenses will continue to rise as we increase salaries in line with increases in the market rates in order to retain our employees.

Facilities and equipment expenses continue to increase as we expand. The six months ended June 30, 2023 includes increased rent and associated costs related to a new facility we took possession of in April 2022. Facilities and equipment expenses are expected to increase in the near term due to increased rent expense related to our three facilities.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and related benefits for our executive, administrative, legal and accounting functions and professional service fees for legal and accounting services as well as other general and administrative expenses.

General and administrative expenses were $13.2 million and $27.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared with $11.0 million and $21.7 million in the comparable periods last year. The increases resulted primarily from increased personnel expenses due to increased headcount and salaries, increased travel and consulting expenses as well as increased rent expense associated with the new facility.

Interest income is generated on cash and cash equivalents. The increase in interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the comparable periods last year was primarily the result of increased interest rates and an increased cash balance as a result of amounts received under the CSL Seqirus agreement. Interest expense decreased as no interest expense was incurred during the second quarter of 2023 due to the extinguishment of the Western Alliance Agreement and the forgiveness of the Singapore Loan during the first quarter of 2023.

Other income and expense

* Greater than 100%

Other income and expense items primarily relate to gains and losses from equity-method investments and foreign currency transactions. Additionally, we recorded a gain on debt extinguishment related to the Singapore Loan of $34.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of the Singapore Loan being forgiven during the first quarter of 2023.

We recorded no gain or loss in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with $0.1 million and $0.5 million losses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, in connection with our investment in GRI Bio, Inc. (formerly Vallon Pharmaceuticals, Inc.)

The changes in gain (loss) from foreign currency for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily attributable to the Singapore Loan being forgiven during the first quarter of 2023. The remaining amounts recorded as gain (loss) from foreign currency relate to transactions made in foreign currencies.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

Through June 30, 2023, we have not entered into and did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial collaborations, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From the Company’s inception through the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company has funded its operations principally with the proceeds from the sale of capital stock, long-term debt and revenues earned through collaboration agreements and government contracts. We received a $200.0 million upfront payment from CSL Seqirus during the fourth quarter of 2022. Additionally, in the three months ended June 30, 2023, we received $90.0 million in milestone payments and $23.6 million for the manufacturing and supply of ARCT-154 from CSL Seqirus. We expect to receive future payments from CSL Seqirus primarily by meeting future milestones related to the CSL Collaboration Agreement. At June 30, 2023, we had $323.5 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.

CSL Seqirus, Inc. Collaboration and License Agreement

We entered into the CSL Collaboration Agreement with CSL Seqirus, a part of CSL Limited, one of the world’s leading influenza vaccine providers, for the global exclusive rights to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize of self-amplifying mRNA vaccines.

CSL Seqirus received exclusive global rights to our technology for vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), influenza and three other respiratory infectious diseases with non-exclusive rights to pandemic pathogens. We received an up-front payment of $200.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2022. We will be eligible to potentially receive development milestones totaling more than $1.3 billion if all products are registered in the licensed fields. We will also be entitled to potentially receive up to $3.0 billion in commercial milestones based on “net sales” of vaccines in the various fields.

In addition, we are entitled to receive a 40% share of net profits from COVID-19 vaccine sales and up to low double-digit royalties of annual net sales for vaccines against influenza and the other three specified infectious disease pathogens, as well as royalties on revenues from vaccines that may be developed for pandemic preparedness.

The CSL Collaboration Agreement sets forth how CSL Seqirus and us shall collaborate to research and develop vaccine candidates. In the COVID-19 field, we will lead activities for certain regulatory filings for ARCT-154 in the US and Europe and for research and development activities of a next-generation COVID vaccine candidate. CSL Seqirus will lead and be responsible for all other research and development in COVID-19, influenza and the other fields.

Wells Fargo Credit Agreement

On April 21, 2023, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Arcturus Therapeutics, Inc. entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) whereby Wells Fargo will make a $50.0 million revolving credit line available to the Company (the “Wells Fargo Loan”) and each Wells Fargo Loan evidenced by a revolving line of credit note (the “Note”).

Borrowings under the agreement will bear interest at a rate of 1.00% above either the Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR (as such terms are defined in the Wells Fargo Note), with “SOFR” being the rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. If an Event of Default (as defined in the credit agreement) occurs, then all Wells Fargo Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to 2.00% above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.

The term of the agreement is two years, with an option for one-year renewals subject to Wells Fargo approval and the Company furnishing to Wells Fargo a non-refundable commitment fee equal to 0.25% of the Wells Fargo Loan amount for each such renewal. There is no penalty for terminating the agreement. There is no penalty for terminating the facility prior to the maturity date of the Wells Fargo Note. As collateral, the Company has agreed to pledge $55.0 million in cash to be held at the Company’s securities accounts with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, an affiliate of Wells Fargo, pursuant to a security agreement.

Grant from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority

On August 31, 2022, we entered into a cost reimbursement contract (the “BARDA Contract”) with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”), a division of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to support the development of a low-dose pandemic influenza candidate based on our proprietary self-amplifying messenger RNA-based vaccine platform. The BARDA Contract is to support our non-clinical and pre-clinical development, early-stage clinical development through Phase 1, and associated drug product manufacturing, regulatory and quality-assurance activities over a period of three years. It provides for reimbursement by BARDA of our permitted costs up to $63.2 million.

Vinbiocare Agreement

During 2021, we entered into a technology license and technical support agreement and the framework drug substance supply agreement with Vinbiocare, a member of Vingroup Joint Stock Company (collectively, the “Vinbiocare License & Supply Agreements”), whereby we would provide technical expertise and support services to Vinbiocare to assist in the build out of an mRNA drug product manufacturing facility in Vietnam. We received an upfront payment in aggregate of $40.0 million as part of the Vinbiocare License and Supply Agreements. In October 2022, in association with the termination of the Vinbiocare License and Supply Agreements, we signed the Vinbiocare Support Agreement with Vinbiocare which continues Vinbiocare’s clinical obligations and reserved a portion of the original $40.0 million upfront payment received from the License and Supply Agreements to be paid over the future periods.

The Vinbiocare Support Agreement requires us to pay to Vinbiocare certain limited payments, including upon the occurrence of specified events through the first quarter of 2025. Vinbiocare is also eligible to receive a single digit percentage of amounts received by Arcturus on net sales, if any, of ARCT-154 (or next-generation COVID vaccine) up to a capped amount.

General Financial Resources

A portion of our current cash balance is expected to be utilized during fiscal year 2023 to fund (i) the continued Phase 2 trial of ARCT-810, our LUNAR-OTC candidate, (ii) advances to our LUNAR-CF program in clinical trials, (iii) expenses incurred prior to customer payments under the CSL Collaboration Agreement and BARDA agreement and (iv) continued exploratory activities related to our platform and other general administrative activities.

Our future capital requirements are difficult to forecast and will depend on many factors that are out of our control. If we are unable to maintain sufficient financial resources, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional needed financing on acceptable terms or at all. Additionally, equity or debt financings may have a dilutive effect on the holdings of our existing shareholders.

We expect to continue to incur additional losses in the long term, and we will need to execute on milestones within the CSL Collaboration Agreement, raise additional debt or equity financing or enter into additional partnerships to fund development. Our ability to transition to profitability is dependent on executing on milestones within the CSL Collaboration Agreement and identifying and developing successful mRNA drug and vaccine candidates. If we are not able to achieve planned milestones or incur costs in excess of our forecasts, we will need to reduce discretionary spending, discontinue the development of some or all of our programs, which will delay part of our development programs, all of which will have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our intended business objectives.

Funding Requirements

We anticipate that we will continue to generate losses for the foreseeable future, and we expect the losses to increase as we continue the development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, our product candidates, and begin commercialization of our products. As a result, we will require additional capital to fund our operations in order to support our long-term plans. We believe that our current cash position will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements through at least the next twelve months, assuming, among other things, no significant unforeseen expenses and continued funding from partners at anticipated levels. We intend to seek additional capital through equity and/or debt financings, collaborative or other funding arrangements with partners or through other sources of financing. Should we seek additional financing from outside sources, we may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may be required to scale back or discontinue the advancement of product candidates, reduce headcount, liquidate our assets, file for bankruptcy, reorganize, merge with another entity, or cease operations.

Our future funding requirements are difficult to forecast and will depend on many factors, including the following:

•

the development of our LUNAR-COV19 and LUNAR-FLU vaccine candidates;

•

the achievement of milestones under our strategic alliance agreements;

•

maintaining and/or expanding our manufacturing network and capabilities;

•

the terms and timing of any other strategic alliance, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish, including those with CSL Seqirus and CSL Seqirus’ arrangement with Meiji, and any related payments thereunder;

•

the initiation, progress, timing and completion of preclinical studies and clinical trials for our product candidates;

•

the number and characteristics of product candidates that we pursue;

•

the outcome, timing and cost of regulatory approvals;

•

delays that may be caused by changing regulatory requirements;

•

the cost and timing of hiring new employees to support our continued growth;

•

the costs involved in filing and prosecuting patent applications and enforcing and defending patent claims;

•

the costs and timing of procuring clinical and commercial supplies of our product candidates;

•

the costs and timing of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities;

•

the costs associated with legal proceedings;

•

the costs associated with potential litigation related to collaboration agreements; and

•

the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products or technologies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. As such, we make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable, based upon information available to us. These judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact our reported results of operations and financial condition. We describe our significant accounting policies more fully in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in the 2022 Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our primary exposure to market risk is interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of interest rates in the United States. Due to the nature of our cash and cash equivalents, we believe that we are not subject to any material market risk exposure. We do not have any foreign currency or other derivative financial instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, our management, including our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer and our principal accounting officer, conducted an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, management has concluded that as of June 30, 2023, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level, and we believe the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2023 fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, statements of stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As required by Rule 13a-15(d) and Rule 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act, our management, including our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer and our principal accounting officer, conducted an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any other changes occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer concluded that there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the periods covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may be involved in various legal proceedings and subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, including those related to governmental inquiries, intellectual property and commercial relationships. The subject matter of any such legal proceedings or claims are or will be highly complex and subject to substantial uncertainties. The outcome of any such proceedings or claims, regardless of the merits, are and will be inherently uncertain; therefore, assessing the likelihood of loss and any estimated damages is difficult and subject to considerable judgment.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Our business is subject to various risks, including those described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which we strongly encourage you to review. There have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Commission on March 29, 2023 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 filed with the Commission on May 9, 2023.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.

None.

In the event any index rate of interest would be less than zero percent (0.0%), then the index rate of interest shall be deemed to be zero percent (0.0%) and the applicable promissory note or other instrument or document shall bear interest at a rate equal to the margin rate of interest.

Whenever in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents Borrower is obligated to pay for the attorneys’ fees of Bank, or the phrase “reasonable attorneys’ fees” or a similar phrase is used, it shall be Borrower’s obligation to pay the attorneys’ fees actually incurred or allocated, at standard hourly rates, without regard to any statutory interpretation, which shall not apply, Borrower hereby waiving the application of any such statute. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, reasonable attorneys’ fees shall not exceed the amount permitted by Law.

(b) Borrower shall indemnify the Bank and each Related Party (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonably documented and out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (limited to one counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant jurisdiction and, solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Indemnitees similarly situated taken as a whole)), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrower) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any borrowing under the Line of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of hazardous materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any environmental liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE


C-203MMB_ALL.docx (Rev. 03/23)	-28-

INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (B) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee under the Loan Documents, or (C) any dispute solely among Indemnitees (other than (x) any claims against Wells Fargo Bank, National Association in its capacity as, or in the fulfillment of its role, as Bank and (y) any claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of Borrower or any of its Affiliates).

In connection therewith, Bank may disclose all documents and information which Bank now has or may hereafter acquire relating to any credit subject hereto, Borrower or its business, any other member of the Consolidated Group or its business, any guarantor hereunder or the business of such guarantor, if any, or any collateral required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for Bank as a party hereto.

SECTION 8.12. RIGHT OF SETOFF; DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS.

Bank may exercise this remedy regardless of the adequacy of any collateral for the obligations of Borrower to Bank and whether or not the Bank is otherwise fully secured. Borrower hereby grants to Bank a security interest in all deposits and accounts maintained with Bank to secure the payment of all Obligations under the Loan Documents.


C-203MMB_ALL.docx (Rev. 03/23)	-30-

SECTION 8.13. ARBITRATION.

(a) Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise in any way arising out of or relating to (i) any credit subject hereto, or any of the Loan Documents, and their negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit. In the event of a court ordered arbitration, the party requesting arbitration shall be responsible for timely filing the demand for arbitration and paying the appropriate filing fee within 30 days of the abatement order or the time specified by the court. Failure to timely file the demand for arbitration as ordered by the court will result in that party’s right to demand arbitration being automatically terminated.

(b) Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in the State selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of Law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to herein, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state Law.

(c) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.


C-203MMB_ALL.docx (Rev. 03/23)	-31-

(d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $[***] or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $[***]. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $[***] shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of the State, in either case with a minimum of [***] in the substantive Law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive Law of the State and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the corresponding rules of civil practice and procedure applicable in the State or other applicable Law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

(e) Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding, discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

(f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations. No party hereto shall be entitled to join or consolidate disputes by or against others in any arbitration, except parties who have executed any Loan Document, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or in a private attorney general capacity.

(g) Payment of Arbitration Costs and Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

(h) Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the


C-203MMB_ALL.docx (Rev. 03/23)	-32-

dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable Law. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties.

(i) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party retains the right to pursue in Small Claims Court any dispute within that court’s jurisdiction. Further, this arbitration provision shall apply only to disputes in which either party seeks to recover an amount of money (excluding attorneys’ fees and costs) that exceeds the jurisdictional limit of the Small Claims Court.

SECTION 8.14. SURVIVAL. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in any Loan Document or other documents delivered in connection herewith or therewith or pursuant hereto or thereto shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and the making of revolving advances hereunder, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Bank may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any revolving advance, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any revolving advance or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied and so long as the Line of Credit has not expired or been terminated.

SECTION 8.15 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT REGARDING ANY SUPPORTED QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and, each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the FDIC under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit

Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 12.23, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

Such release, if any, shall not relieve Grantor from the obligation to satisfy any value requirements herein. As used herein, “WF Securities” means stock, securities, or obligations of Wells Fargo & Company or any affiliate thereof (as the term affiliate is defined in Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act (12 USC § 371(c), as amended from time to time).

The Fair Market Value of the Collateral shall at all times be equal to or exceed $55,000,000. Whenever applicable, the credit limits of Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board (12 U.S.C. § 221 et seq.) shall also be satisfied as prescribed therein.

US_ACTIVE\123471302\V-2

(c)

Breach of Value Requirements. Secured Party is not obligated to permit an advance when value requirements are not met or if permitted would not be met. Failure to timely meet value requirements is an Event of Default and allows Secured Party, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the Indebtedness secured hereby and exercise its rights and remedies hereunder.

(d)

Excess Collateral. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Collateral in excess of the value requirements is available for withdrawal at Grantor’s request to Secured Party, free and clear of Secured Party’s security interest therein. Secured Party shall be afforded such reasonable time, information and cooperation as may be necessary to accommodate Grantor requests for withdrawal of excess Collateral. Under no circumstances shall any Intermediary be authorized to release Collateral, or allow withdrawals of excess Collateral, without the express written consent of Secured Party.

(e)

Rule 144/145 Collateral. Grantor shall not sell or otherwise transfer shares of securities of the issuer of any Collateral that may be subject to the provisions of SEC Rule 144 or 145 without Secured Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall be given in Secured Party’s sole discretion.

5. TRADING PROHIBITED. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and in continuing, and provided all value requirements would continue to be met, Grantor, or any party authorized by Grantor to act with respect to the Securities Account, may receive payments of interest and/or cash dividends earned on Collateral in the Securities Account. Without Secured Party's prior written consent, except as permitted by the preceding sentence or paragraph 4(d), neither Grantor nor any party other than Secured Party may (a) withdraw or receive any distribution of any Collateral from the Securities Account, or (b) trade Collateral in the Securities Account.

6. DEFINITIONS RELATED TO MARGIN VALUE. As used herein:

"Fair Market Value" or “FMV” means, as to any Collateral that is uncertificated, the per share or per unit closing sale price quoted or reported at the close of the immediately preceding business day in the Securities Account, and, as to any Collateral that is certificated, the per share or per unit closing sale price quoted or reported at the close of the immediately preceding business day were such share or unit held in uncertificated form in a securities account at Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC, trading as Wells Fargo Advisors (or in either case if not available, such other customary publication of securities closing sale prices as Secured Party may reasonably elect to reference) multiplied by the number of shares or units of like Collateral. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the Collateral is the total of all such Fair Market Values so determined plus the amount of cash Collateral. If Fair Market Value cannot be determined by the foregoing procedure, then Fair Market Value shall be determined by the Secured Party, in its sole discretion, by reference to the notional amount of such assets or to public information and procedures

that may otherwise then be available. All cash and other value references are to currency denominated in dollars of the United States of America.

FDIC Institutional Insured Liquid Deposits	[***]
All Other Types of Collateral	[***]

“US Government Money Market Funds” means readily available investments in AAA-rated money market funds that invest solely in United States government securities.

7. TERMINATION; RELEASE. On the date on which all Secured Obligations have been paid and performed in full, the Secured Party will, at the request and sole expense of Grantor, (a) duly assign, transfer and deliver to or at the direction of Grantor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such Collateral as may then remain in the possession of the Secured Party, together with any monies at the time held by the Secured Party hereunder, and (b) execute and deliver to Grantor a proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement.

8. OBLIGATIONS OF SECURED PARTY. Secured Party has no obligation to make any loans hereunder. Any money received by Secured Party in respect of the Collateral may be deposited, at Secured Party's option, into a non-interest bearing account over which Grantor shall have no control, and

US_ACTIVE\123471302\V-2

the same shall, for all purposes, be deemed Collateral hereunder. Secured Party shall not be required to apply such money to the Indebtedness or other obligations secured hereby or to remit such money to Grantor or to any other party until the full payment of all Indebtedness of Grantor to Secured Party, and the termination of all commitments of Secured Party to extend credit to Grantor. Secured Party shall have no duty to take any steps necessary to preserve the rights of Grantor against prior parties, or to initiate any action to protect against the possibility of a decline in the market value of the Collateral or Proceeds. Secured Party shall not be obligated to take any action with respect to the Collateral or Proceeds requested by Grantor unless such request is made in writing and Secured Party determines, in its sole discretion, that the requested action would not unreasonably jeopardize the value of the Collateral and Proceeds as security for the Indebtedness.

To effect the purposes of this Agreement or otherwise upon instructions of Grantor, or any of them, Secured Party may cause any Collateral and/or Proceeds to be transferred to Secured Party's name or the name of Secured Party's nominee. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any or all Collateral and/or Proceeds consisting of securities may be registered, without notice, in the name of Secured Party or its nominee, and thereafter Secured Party or its nominee may exercise, without notice, all voting and corporate rights at any meeting of the shareholders of the issuer thereof, any and all rights of conversion, exchange or subscription, or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Collateral and/or Proceeds, all as if it were the absolute owner thereof. The foregoing shall include, without limitation, the right of Secured Party or its nominee to exchange, at its discretion, any and all Collateral and/or Proceeds upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the issuer thereof, or upon the exercise by the issuer thereof or Secured Party of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any shares of the Collateral and/or Proceeds, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Collateral and/or Proceeds with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as Secured Party may determine.

13. RESERVED.

US_ACTIVE\123471302\V-2

14. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Secured Party shall have all rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code or the Business and Commerce Code of the jurisdiction identified in Section 22 below or otherwise provided by law, including without limitation, the right (a) to contact all persons obligated to Grantor on any Collateral or Proceeds and to instruct such persons to deliver all Collateral and/or Proceeds directly to Secured Party, and (b) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any or all Collateral. In addition to any other remedies set forth in this Agreement, Grantor authorizes Secured Party to engage in “electronic self-help” as defined in and in accordance with applicable law. All rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Secured Party shall be cumulative. No delay, failure or discontinuance of Secured Party in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver of such right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Secured Party of any default hereunder, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing. It is agreed that public or private sales or other dispositions, for cash or on credit, to a wholesaler or retailer or investor, or user of property of the types subject to this Agreement, or public auctions, are all commercially reasonable since differences in the prices generally realized in the different kinds of dispositions are ordinarily offset by the differences in the costs and credit risks of such dispositions. While an Event of Default exists: (a) Grantor will not dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds except on terms approved by Secured Party; (b) Secured Party may appropriate the Collateral and apply all Proceeds toward repayment of the Indebtedness secured hereby in such order of application as Secured Party may from time to time elect; (c) Secured Party may, at any time, liquidate any time deposits pledged to Secured Party hereunder and apply the proceeds thereof to payment of the Indebtedness secured, whether or not said time deposits have matured and notwithstanding the fact that such liquidation may give rise to penalties for early withdrawal of funds, (d) Secured Party may take any action with respect to the Collateral contemplated by any control, custodial or other similar agreement then in effect among Secured Party, Grantor and Intermediary; and (e) at Secured Party's request, Grantor will assemble and deliver all books and records pertaining to the Collateral or Proceeds to Secured Party at a reasonably convenient place designated by Secured Party. For any Collateral or Proceeds consisting of securities, Secured Party shall have no obligation to delay a disposition of any portion thereof for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under any applicable state or Federal law, even if the issuer thereof would agree to do so. Grantor further agrees that Secured Party shall have no obligation to process or prepare any Collateral for sale or other disposition.

15. DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL AND PROCEEDS; TRANSFER OF INDEBTEDNESS. In disposing of Collateral hereunder, Secured Party may disclaim all warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like. Any proceeds of any disposition of any Collateral or Proceeds, or any part thereof, may be applied by Secured Party to the payment of expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection with the foregoing, including reasonable attorneys' fees, and the balance of such proceeds may be applied by Secured Party toward the payment of the Indebtedness secured hereby in such order of application as Secured Party may from time to time elect. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the Indebtedness secured hereby,


C-750SA_ALL.docx (08/22)	-9-

US_ACTIVE\123471302\V-2

Secured Party may transfer all or any part of the Collateral or Proceeds and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility with respect to any of the foregoing so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all rights and powers of Secured Party hereunder with respect to any of the foregoing so transferred; but with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds not so transferred, Secured Party shall retain all rights, powers, privileges and remedies herein given.

16. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Until all Indebtedness secured hereby shall have been paid in full and all commitments by Secured Party to extend credit to Grantor have been terminated, the power of sale or other disposition and all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to Secured Party hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to exist and may be exercised by Secured Party at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that the Indebtedness secured hereby or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of limitations, or that the personal liability of Grantor may have ceased, unless such liability shall have ceased due to the payment in full of all Indebtedness secured hereby.

17. MISCELLANEOUS. Grantor hereby waives any right to require Secured Party to (i) proceed against Grantor or any other person, (ii) marshal assets or proceed against or exhaust any security from Grantor or any other person, (iii) perform any obligation of Grantor with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds, and (iv) make any presentment or demand, or give any notices of any kind, including without limitation, any notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of intention to accelerate or notice of acceleration hereunder or in connection with any Collateral or Proceeds. Grantor further waives any right to direct the application of payments or security for any Indebtedness of Grantor or indebtedness of customers of Grantor.

18. NOTICES. (a) All notices, requests and demands required under this Agreement must be in writing, addressed to Secured Party at the address specified in any other loan documents entered into between Grantor and Secured Party and to Grantor at the address of its chief executive office specified below or to such other address as any party may designate by written notice to each other party, and shall be deemed to have been given or made as follows: (i) if personally delivered, upon delivery; (ii) if sent by mail, upon the earlier of the date of receipt or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class and postage prepaid; and (iii) if sent by telecopy or overnight courier service, upon receipt.

be limited to particular notices or communications.

C-180DSSTS.docx (Rev. 12/06/21)	-2-

INTEREST:

(a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) either (i) at a fluctuating rate per annum determined by Bank to be one percent (1.00%) above Daily Simple SOFR in effect from time to time, or (ii) at a fixed rate per annum determined by Bank to be one percent (1.00%) above Term SOFR in effect on the first day of the applicable Interest Period. Bank is hereby authorized to note the date, principal amount and interest rate applicable to this Note and any payments made thereon on Bank’s books and records (either manually or by electronic entry) and/or on any schedule attached to this Note, which notations shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information noted. Bank shall be permitted to estimate the amount of accrued interest that is payable at any time hereunder on the applicable invoice provided by Bank to Borrower in respect thereof, in which case Borrower shall pay such estimated amount and Bank shall to the extent necessary, include on the next invoice an adjustment to correct any difference between the amount on the applicable invoice and the amount of interest that actually accrued pursuant to the terms of this Note.

(b) Selection of Interest Rate Options. Subject to the provisions herein regarding Interest Periods and the prior notice required for the selection of a Term SOFR interest rate, (i) at any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to Term SOFR for an Interest Period, (A) it may be continued by Borrower at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto so that all or a portion thereof bears interest determined in relation to Term SOFR for a new Interest Period designated by Borrower or (B) Borrower may convert all or a portion thereof so that it bears interest determined in relation to Daily Simple SOFR, (ii) at any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to Daily Simple SOFR, Borrower may convert all or a portion thereof so that it bears interest determined in relation to Term SOFR for an Interest Period designated by Borrower, and (iii) at the time an advance is made hereunder, Borrower may choose to have all or a portion thereof bear interest determined in relation to Daily Simple SOFR or to Term SOFR for an Interest Period designated by Borrower.

To select a Term SOFR option hereunder, Borrower shall give Bank notice thereof that is received by Bank prior to 11:00 a.m. in the time zone of the city referenced on the first page of this Note above the Note date on a Federal Reserve Business Day at least two (2) Federal Reserve


C-180DSSTS.docx (Rev. 12/06/21)	-3-

Business Days prior to the first day of the Interest Period, or at a later time during such Federal Reserve Business Day if Bank, at its sole option but without obligation to do so, accepts Borrower’s notice and quotes a fixed rate to Borrower. Such notice shall specify: (A) the interest rate option selected by Borrower, (B) the principal amount subject thereto, and (C) for each Term SOFR selection, to the extent Borrower has the option to designate the length of an Interest Period, the length of the applicable Interest Period. If Bank has not received such notice in accordance with the foregoing before an advance is made hereunder or before the end of any Interest Period, Borrower shall be deemed to have made a Daily Simple SOFR interest selection for such advance or the principal amount to which such Interest Period applied. Any such notice may be given by telephone (or such other electronic method as Bank may permit) so long as it is given in accordance with the foregoing and, with respect to each Term SOFR selection, if requested by Bank, Borrower provides to Bank written confirmation thereof not later than three (3) Federal Reserve Business Days after such notice is given. Borrower shall reimburse Bank immediately upon demand for any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of funds obtained to fund or maintain a Term SOFR borrowing) incurred by Bank as a result of the failure of Borrower to accept or complete a Term SOFR borrowing hereunder after making a request therefor. Any reasonable determination of such amounts by Bank shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower.

(c) Taxes and Regulatory Costs. Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand, in addition to any other amounts due or to become due hereunder, any and all (i) withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes (except income and franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority and related in any manner to SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR, and (ii) costs, expenses and liabilities arising from or in connection with reserve percentages prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for “Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended), assessment rates imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or similar requirements or costs imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority or resulting from compliance by Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority and related in any manner to SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR. In determining which of the foregoing are attributable to any SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR option available to Borrower hereunder, any reasonable allocation made by Bank among its operations shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower.

(d) Default Interest. Bank shall have the option in its sole and absolute discretion to have the outstanding principal balance of this Note and all other Obligations then due and owing under the Loan Documents bear interest at an increased rate per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to two percent (2.0%) above the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.

(e) Inability to Determine Interest Rates; Illegality. Subject to the Benchmark Replacement Provisions below, if Bank determines (any determination of which shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower) that either (i) Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR for the applicable Interest Period cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof other than as a result of a Benchmark Transition Event (an “Inability Determination”) or (ii) any law has made it unlawful, or that any governmental authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for Bank to make or maintain an advance based on SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR (an “Illegality Determination”), then Bank will so notify Borrower. If the foregoing Inability Determination or Illegality Determination relates


C-180DSSTS.docx (Rev. 12/06/21)	-4-

to Daily Simple SOFR, then any outstanding principal balance of this Note bearing interest determined in relation to Daily Simple SOFR shall bear interest (x) pursuant to the Term SOFR option herein (if selected by Borrower and to the extent such option is available) or (y) otherwise, at a fluctuating rate per annum determined by Bank to be equal to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed), from the date of such Inability Determination or such Illegality Determination until Bank revokes such Inability Determination or notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such Illegality Determination no longer exist, as applicable. If the foregoing Inability Determination or Illegality Determination relates to Term SOFR for any Interest Period, then any outstanding principal balance of this Note bearing interest determined in relation to Term SOFR for any affected Interest Period shall bear interest (x) pursuant to the Daily Simple SOFR option herein (if selected by Borrower and to the extent such option is available) or (y) otherwise, at a fluctuating rate per annum determined by Bank to be the Prime Rate in effect from time to time (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed), from the date of such Inability Determination or such Illegality Determination until Bank revokes such Inability Determination or notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such Illegality Determination no longer exist, as applicable; provided, however, that, with respect to any outstanding principal balance of this Note bearing interest determined in relation to Term SOFR for any affected Interest Period, no such determination of interest shall take effect during any applicable Interest Period as a result of an Inability Determination. When interest is determined in relation to the Prime Rate, each change in the rate of interest hereunder shall become effective on the date each Prime Rate change is announced within Bank. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if a Benchmark Replacement is subsequently determined in accordance with applicable Benchmark Replacement Provisions, that Benchmark Replacement, plus any applicable margin, will then supersede the foregoing with respect to the replaced Benchmark.

(f) Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, Bank will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrower. Bank will promptly notify Borrower of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

BENCHMARK REPLACEMENT PROVISIONS:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or in any related loan document (for the purposes of these Benchmark Replacement Provisions, a swap agreement by and between Borrower and Bank or any of its affiliates is not a loan document):

(a) Benchmark Replacement. If a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any applicable then-current Benchmark, occurs, the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes under this Note or under any related loan document. Any Benchmark Replacement will become effective on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date without any further action or consent of Borrower.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Bank will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrower.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Bank will promptly notify Borrower of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (ii) the effectiveness of any


C-180DSSTS.docx (Rev. 12/06/21)	-5-

Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement and (iii) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to the provisions of this Note. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Bank pursuant to these Benchmark Replacement Provisions, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and will be made in its sole discretion and without Borrower consent.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by Bank in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then Bank may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after the occurrence of either (A) or (B) above to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) as selected by Bank in its reasonable discretion or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then Bank may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Note, each of the following capitalized terms has the meaning given to such term below:

(i)

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to any then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (A) if such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Note or (B) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to the provisions of this Note.

(ii)

“Benchmark” means, initially, Daily Simple SOFR or the Term SOFR Reference Rate, as applicable; provided, however, that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to Daily Simple SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or the applicable then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Note.

“Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the sum of: (A) the alternate reference rate that has been selected by Bank and Borrower as the replacement for the applicable then-current Benchmark; and (B) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by Bank and Borrower, in each case, giving due consideration to (x) any selection or recommendation by the Relevant Governmental Body at such time for a replacement reference rate, the mechanism for determining such a rate, the methodology or conventions applicable to such alternate reference rate, or the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for such rate, or (y) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining an alternate reference rate as a replacement to the applicable then-current Benchmark, the methodology or conventions applicable to such rate, or the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for such rate for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated or bilateral credit facilities; provided, however, that if the applicable Benchmark Replacement as determined as provided above would be less than the Benchmark Floor, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement shall be deemed to be the Benchmark Floor for the purposes of this Note and the related loan documents, subject to any other applicable floor rate provision.

(v)

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the date specified by Bank in a notice to Borrower following a Benchmark Transition Event.

(vi)

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to any then-current Benchmark: a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the Benchmark Administrator or a regulatory supervisor for the Benchmark Administrator announcing that (A) the Benchmark Administrator has ceased or will cease to provide such Benchmark, or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, or (B) such Benchmark is, or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark are, not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative of underlying markets or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks.

Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Note borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Note and of any document executed in connection with or governing this Note; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note shall not at any time exceed the principal amount stated above. The unpaid principal balance of this obligation at any time shall be the total amounts advanced hereunder by the holder hereof less the amount of principal payments made hereon by or for Borrower, which


C-180DSSTS.docx (Rev. 12/06/21)	-7-

balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time by the holder. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full on April 21, 2025.

(b) Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable on the last day of each month, commencing April 30, 2023, and on the maturity date set forth above.

(c) Advances. Advances hereunder, to the total amount of the principal sum stated above, may be made by the holder at the written request of (i) [***] or [***], any one acting alone (subject to any of Bank’s applicable authentication policies or procedures, which may require that a particular individual—including another specific individual listed above—provide verification of the identity of the requestor), who are authorized to request advances and direct the disposition of any advances until written notice of the revocation of such authority is received by the holder at the office designated above, or (ii) any person, with respect to advances deposited to the credit of any deposit account of Borrower, which advances, when so deposited, shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to or for the benefit of Borrower regardless of the fact that persons other than those authorized to request advances may have authority to draw against such account. The holder shall have no obligation to determine whether any person requesting an advance is or has been authorized by Borrower.

(d) Application of Payments. Each payment made on this Note shall be credited first, to any interest then due and second, to the outstanding principal balance hereof. All payments credited to principal shall be applied first, to the outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to Daily Simple SOFR, if any, and second, to the outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to Term SOFR, with such payments applied to the oldest Interest Period first.

PAYMENTS:

If any payment of principal or interest to be made pursuant to this Note, other than a prepayment or a payment due on the maturity date of this Note, shall fall due on a day that is not a Federal Reserve Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Federal Reserve Business Day, except that, if such next succeeding Federal Reserve Business Day would fall in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Federal Reserve Business Day. Any extension or contraction of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

PREPAYMENT:

(a) Daily Simple SOFR. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to Daily Simple SOFR, in any amount and without penalty.

(b) Term SOFR. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to Term SOFR. In consideration of Bank providing this prepayment option to Borrower, or if any such portion of this Note shall become due and payable at any time prior to the last day of any Interest Period by acceleration or otherwise, Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand a fee which is the amount, if any, by which (i) exceeds (ii) below:

(i) The amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount had it remained outstanding until the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.


C-180DSSTS.docx (Rev. 12/06/21)	-8-

(ii) The amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount prepaid at Term SOFR (without adding any spread or margin specified in part (a) under the “INTEREST” section of this Note) that would have been applicable to such amount had this Note been disbursed on the repayment date and remained outstanding until the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of such amount may result in Bank incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and that it is difficult to ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Borrower, therefore, agrees to pay the above-described prepayment fee and agrees that said amount represents a reasonable estimate of the prepayment costs, expenses and/or liabilities of Bank.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT:

This Note is made pursuant to and is subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated April 21, 2023, as amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). Any default in the payment or performance of any obligation under this Note shall constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS:

(a) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the holder of this Note, at the holder’s option, may declare (or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(f) or Section 7.1(g)(v) of the Credit Agreement, automatically and without notice) all sums of principal and interest outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, notice of nonperformance, notice of protest, protest or notice of dishonor, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower, and the obligation, if any, of the holder to extend any further credit hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate. Borrower shall pay to the holder immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees (to include outside counsel fees and all allocated costs of the holder’s in-house counsel), expended or incurred by the holder in connection with the enforcement of the holder’s rights and/or the collection of any amounts which become due to the holder under this Note whether or not suit is brought, and the prosecution or defense of any action in any way related to this Note, including without limitation, any action for declaratory relief, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other person) relating to Borrower or any other person or entity.

(b) Reserved.

(c) Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks, without reference to the conflicts of law or choice of law principles thereof.

I, Joseph E. Payne, certify that:

I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings Inc.;

Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

(a)

Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;

(b)

Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

(c)

Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

(d)

Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and

The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

(a)

All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

(b)

Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
