Following the full exercise of the Option, the total number of ordinary shares (each an “Ordinary Share”), of the Company and pre-funded warrants to subscribe for one Ordinary Share each (the “PFW”) issued in the Global Offering amounts to 2,218,467 Ordinary Shares, including 225,373 Ordinary Shares in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) and 33,805 Ordinary Shares in the form of Additional ADSs, and 345,099 PFW, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds for the Company of approximately

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Global Offering, including the net proceeds from the sale of the Additional ADSs, as follows:

10% to support the development and advancement of JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3); - between 50
-60% to advance our Nanoprimer and other platforms; and - between 30
-40% for general corporate purposes.
The expected use of proceeds represents the Company’s intentions based upon its current plans and business conditions. The Company cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of Global Offering (including the Additional ADSs) or the amounts that the Company will actually spend on the uses set forth above. The amounts and timing of the Company’s actual expenditures and the extent of clinical development may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including the progress of the development efforts, the status of and results from preclinical studies and any ongoing clinical trials or clinical trials the Company may commence in the future, as well as any collaborations that the Company may enter into with third parties for its product candidates and any unforeseen cash needs. As a result, the Company’s management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds.
The Company believes that the net proceeds from the Global Offering (including the Additional ADSs), together with its cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements for operations into 2029, consistent with the Company’s currently contemplated cash burn rate.
