You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 10-K”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 14, 2024. This discussion and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements regarding our plans, objectives, expectations, intentions and projections. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Please also refer to those factors described in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2023 10-K for important factors that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to creating new standards of care for patients. Our strategy is to identify high-impact targets, which we define as those that inhibit key drivers of disease or harness the immune system to eliminate diseased cells in both oncology and autoimmune diseases, and then select what we believe is the optimal therapeutic modality for those targets. We source innovation both internally and externally, focusing on product candidates with novel technology or differentiated mechanisms. Before we advance a product candidate into clinical development, we evaluate its potential for activity as a single agent as well as its ability to generate an immune response or to inhibit disease processes. Using this strategy, we have built a broad and deep pipeline of targeted oncology and autoimmune programs that includes six distinct clinical-stage product candidates.
- CLN-619, our lead unpartnered oncology program, is a monoclonal antibody that stabilizes expression of MICA/B on the tumor cell surface to promote tumor cell lysis mediated by both cytotoxic innate and adaptive immune cells. CLN-619 is being investigated as both monotherapy and in combination with checkpoint inhibitor therapy in an ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with advanced solid tumors. We intend to present initial data from the checkpoint inhibitor therapy combination dose escalation module of the clinical trial, as well as updated data from the monotherapy dose escalation module, in June 2024 at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting. Initial data from the disease specific expansion cohorts are anticipated in the first half of 2025. Separately, in February 2024, the United States (“U.S.”) Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) cleared our Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application to evaluate CLN-619 in a Phase 1 clinical trial in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients.
- CLN-978 is a CD19xCD3 T cell engager ("TCE") with extended serum half-life that we are developing for autoimmune diseases. We discontinued enrollment in our Phase 1 clinical trial of CLN-978 in patients with relapsed/refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (“B-NHL”) to focus ongoing development on autoimmune indications based on preclinical studies that demonstrated robust potency against target cells expressing low levels of CD19.
Academic and industry groups have generated clinical data and case series demonstrating that CD19 targeted CAR T cell therapy could lead to sustained improvements in disease manifestations, including durable remission from symptoms in some cases, in multiple autoimmune disease indications including systemic lupus erythematosus (“SLE”). Nonetheless, cell therapy has many limitations, including the need for lymphodepleting chemotherapy, which is associated with significant toxicities, an FDA-recognized risk of secondary malignancies, and extended manufacturing lead times. More recently, academic investigators have published data demonstrating the potential for a CD19xCD3 TCE to achieve similar outcomes in multiple autoimmune disease indications. Based on these emerging clinical data supporting the efficacy of CD19 directed therapy in multiple autoimmune diseases and our belief that CLN-978 may address the limitations of CAR T therapy, we are exploring the development of CLN-978 in a variety of autoimmune diseases and are committed to assessing its broad potential. We plan to submit an IND application to evaluate CLN-978 in patients with SLE as a first indication in the third quarter of 2024.
Clinical observations from three patients treated in a Phase 1 dose escalation trial of patients with relapsed/refractory B-NHL show that CLN-978 was clinically active at the initial starting dose of 30 micrograms administered subcutaneously once weekly. Two of the three patients experienced objective clinical benefit, including one patient who experienced a complete response. Grade 1 cytokine release syndrome occurred in two patients following the first dose of CLN-978 only, and no patients experienced immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome. Other adverse events were mostly low-grade and/or mechanistically based (e.g., transient lymphopenia after the first dose only). Of the two patients with detectable B cells at baseline, both experienced rapid, deep, and sustained B cell depletion after administration of CLN-978. These data support that CLN-978 can not only deplete peripheral blood B cells but also demonstrate clinical activity in a tissue resident disease at a dose with a favorable safety profile.
- Zipalertinib (CLN-081/TAS6417), which we are co-developing with an affiliate of Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd ("Taiho"), is an orally-available small-molecule, irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor ("EGFR") inhibitor that is designed to selectively target cells expressing EGFR exon 20 ("EGFRex20") insertion mutations with relative sparing of cells expressing wild-type EGFR. The FDA has granted Breakthrough Therapy designation to zipalertinib. In collaboration with our partners at Taiho, we are evaluating zipalertinib in the pivotal Phase 2b portion of the REZILIENT1 clinical trial in patients with EGFRex20 non-small-cell lung cancer ("NSCLC") who progressed after prior systemic therapy, and in a global Phase 3 clinical trial (“REZILIENT3”) in combination with chemotherapy as a potential first-line treatment for EGFRex20 NSCLC adult patients. We expect to complete enrollment in the pivotal Phase 2b portion of the REZILIENT1 clinical trial by year-end 2024. We will receive 50% of any future pre-tax profits from potential U.S. sales of zipalertinib.
- CLN-049 is a FLT3xCD3 T cell engaging bispecific antibody being investigated in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia ("AML") or myelodysplastic syndrome ("MDS"). CLN-049 is currently in an ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial with updated clinical data expected in the second half of 2024. In December 2023, we initiated a second Phase 1 clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety of CLN-049 in minimal residual disease-positive AML.
- CLN-418 is a B7H4x4-1BB fully human bispecific immune activator designed to achieve conditional activation of 4-1BB by targeting B7H4, a tumor-associated antigen that is highly expressed across multiple cancers with minimal expression on normal tissues. CLN-418 is being investigated in an ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with advanced solid tumors with initial clinical data expected in the second half of 2024.
- CLN-617 is a fusion protein combining two potent antitumor cytokines, interleukin-2 ("IL-2") and interleukin-12 ("IL-12") with tumor retention domains for the treatment of solid tumors. In December 2023, we dosed the first patient in the CLN-617 first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial.
In addition to the product candidates described above, we are developing several preclinical oncology programs, all in the discovery stage, including our collaboration with Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai for the development of novel hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 degraders.
When we were a private company, we established development subsidiaries when we acquired or licensed exclusive worldwide rights to intellectual property, including for CLN-619, CLN-049, and CLN-617. The structure of our financing arrangements with each development subsidiary enables us to increase our economic ownership when we provide additional capital. We have not established development subsidiaries for our other current product candidates and programs. We are co-developing zipalertinib, for which Taiho holds the intellectual property rights, with an affiliate of Taiho. We hold worldwide intellectual property rights for CLN-978 and U.S. intellectual property rights for CLN-418, and we hold worldwide intellectual property rights or exclusive options for worldwide intellectual property for our earlier-stage programs. The following table shows our ownership interest as of March 31, 2024 in our development subsidiaries and their product candidates:
| Development Subsidiary (Product Candidate) | Ownership as of March 31, 2024 |
|---|---|
| Cullinan MICA Corp. (CLN-619) | 95% |
| Cullinan Florentine Corp. (CLN-049) | 96% |
| Cullinan Amber Corp. (CLN-617) | 94% |
Since our inception in 2016, we have focused all of our efforts and financial resources on raising capital, organizing and staffing our company, identifying, acquiring or in-licensing and developing product and technology rights, establishing and protecting our intellectual property portfolio and developing and advancing our programs. We do not have any products approved for sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales.
We have funded our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities and from licensing or selling the rights to our product candidates. As of March 31, 2024, we have received net proceeds of $579.6 million from equity financings, inclusive of our net proceeds of $264.5 million from our initial public offering ("IPO"). We have received $18.9 million in revenue from a previous license agreement and cash proceeds of $275.0 million from the sale of our equity interest in our zipalertinib development subsidiary to Taiho. In April 2024, we sold shares of our common stock and pre-funded warrants for shares of our common stock in a private placement (the “2024 Private Placement”) for gross proceeds of $280.0 million, before deducting offering expenses. Refer to Note 13 of our notes to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional detail regarding the 2024 Private Placement.
As of March 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and interest receivable of $434.8 million. Interest receivable is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets and represents accrued and unpaid interest on our marketable securities. We have a history of significant operating losses and have had negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of March 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $238.0 million. We expect to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. Our future viability is dependent on the success of our research and development and our ability to access additional capital to fund our operations. There can be no assurance that our current operating plan will be achieved or that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
We are subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, compliance with government regulations and the ability to obtain additional capital to fund operations. Our current and future product candidates will require significant additional research and development efforts, including preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require additional capital, adequate personnel and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. There can be no assurance that our research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for our intellectual property will be obtained, that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval or that any approved products will be commercially viable.
Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
We have not generated any revenue from the sale of products since our inception and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the near future, if at all.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the research and development of our product candidates and programs. These expenses include:
- compensation costs for employees engaged in research and development functions;
- expenses incurred under agreements with organizations that support our drug discovery and development activities;
- expenses incurred in connection with the preclinical and clinical development of our product candidates and programs, including under agreements with contract research organizations ("CROs");
- costs related to contract manufacturing organizations that are primarily engaged to provide drug substance, raw materials, and drug product for our clinical trials, research and development programs, as well as investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials, nonclinical studies and other scientific development services;
- the costs of acquiring and manufacturing nonclinical and clinical trial materials, including manufacturing registration and validation batches;
- costs related to compliance with quality and regulatory requirements;
- payments made under third-party licensing agreements; and
- direct and allocated costs related to facilities, information technology, personnel and other overhead.
Development costs and any future potential pre-tax profits from U.S. sales of zipalertinib are shared equally between us and Taiho.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation costs for personnel in executive management, finance, legal, corporate and business development, and other administrative functions. General and administrative expenses also include legal fees relating to patent and corporate matters; professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax, and administrative consulting services; insurance costs; administrative travel expenses; marketing expenses; and other operating costs.
Other Income
Other income consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and investments.

Research and Development Expenses
The following table summarizes our research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| CLN-619 | $5,677 | $4,512 |
| CLN-978 | 1,503 | 1,825 |
| Zipalertinib | 8,288 | 5,652 |

| Equity-based compensation | 3,135 | 3,054 |
| Total research and development expenses | $30,646 | $52,096 |
The $21.5 million decrease in research and development expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to the one-time upfront in-licensing fee for CLN-418 in 2023 ($25.0 million) and decreased chemistry, manufacturing and controls ("CMC") costs ($1.8 million), partially offset by increased clinical costs ($5.2 million).
General and Administrative Expenses
The $1.7 million increase in general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to increases in both personnel costs ($1.4 million) and equity-based compensation costs ($0.9 million) relating to increased headcount, partially offset by decreases in legal fees ($0.6 million).
Other Income
The $1.0 million increase in other income in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily related to higher investment income.
Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests is determined as the difference in the noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets between the start and end of each reporting period, after taking into account any capital transactions between our development subsidiaries and third parties.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We have a history of significant operating losses and have had negative cash flows from operations since our inception and expect to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. We have not yet commercialized any products and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of products for several years, if at all. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the sale of equity securities and from licensing or selling the rights to our product candidates. As of March 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and interest receivable of $434.8 million.
Based on our current operational plans and assumptions, we expect that our current cash, cash equivalents, investments, and interest receivable, will be sufficient to fund operations through at least twelve months from the date of issuance of our consolidated financial statements. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to raise additional capital on reasonable terms or at all.
In May 2023, we entered into an agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”) to establish an at-the-market equity offering program (the "ATM"), pursuant to which we may offer and sell up to $125.0 million of our common stock from time to time through Cowen, acting as our sales agent. We made no sales under the ATM in the three months ended March 31, 2024. Through March 31, 2024, we have sold approximately 3.3 million shares under the ATM and received net proceeds of $38.4 million, after deducting commissions. As of March 31, 2024, we had $85.6 million in shares of our common stock remaining under the ATM.
In April 2024, we completed the 2024 Private Placement in which we issued approximately 14.4 million shares of our common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase approximately 0.3 million additional shares of our common stock. We received gross proceeds of $280.0 million from the 2024 Private Placement, before deducting offering expenses.
Comparison of Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Net cash used in operating activities | $(38,247) | $(50,997) |
| Net cash provided by investing activities | 12,956 | 15,184 |
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 1,085 | 1,789 |
| Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents | $(24,206) | $(34,024) |
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our operating activities used $38.2 million of cash, which primarily consisted of our operating expenses, excluding non-cash items, of $34.7 million and a $9.8 million net change in our non-tax operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by an income tax refund of $3.9 million and interest income, excluding accretion on marketable securities, of $2.4 million. The non-cash operating expenses primarily consisted of equity-based compensation expense.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, operating activities used $51.0 million of cash, which primarily consisted of our operating expenses, excluding non-cash items, of $55.4 million, partially offset by interest income, excluding accretion on marketable equity securities, of $3.1 million and a benefit of $1.4 million from the net change in our non-tax operating assets and liabilities. The non-cash operating expenses primarily consisted of equity-based compensation expense.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by investing activities was $13.0 million, which primarily consisted of $144.3 million of proceeds from the maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by $131.4 million of purchases of marketable securities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by investing activities was $15.2 million, which primarily consisted of proceeds of $104.5 million from the maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by $89.1 million used for the purchase of marketable securities.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $1.1 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock under equity-based compensation plans.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $1.8 million, which primarily consisted of $1.8 million from the issuance of a convertible note by our CLN-619 development subsidiary to a noncontrolling interest.
Future Funding Requirements
We expect our expenses to continue to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we advance the clinical trials and manufacturing of our product candidates along with preclinical activities for our current and potential future product candidates. In addition, we have and will continue to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including significant legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses.
Our expenses will also increase as we:
- continue our research and development efforts and submit INDs for our current and future product candidates and programs;
- conduct preclinical studies and clinical trials for our current and future product candidates;
- experience any delays or encounter any issues with any of the above, including but not limited to failed studies, or trials, complex results, safety issues, or other regulatory challenges;
- develop the necessary processes, controls, and manufacturing capabilities to obtain marketing approval for our current and future product candidates and to support manufacturing on a commercial scale;
- develop and implement plans to establish and operate in-house manufacturing operations and facilities, if deemed appropriate;
- seek regulatory approvals for our current and future product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials;
- hire and retain additional personnel, such as non-clinical, clinical, pharmacovigilance, quality assurance, regulatory affairs, manufacturing, distribution, legal, compliance, medical affairs, finance, general and administrative, commercial, and scientific personnel; and
- develop, maintain, expand, and protect our intellectual property portfolio.
Based on our current operational plans and assumptions, we expect that our current cash, cash equivalents, investments, and interest receivable will be sufficient to fund operations through at least twelve months from the date of issuance of our consolidated financial statements. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. As we progress with our development programs and the regulatory review process, we expect to incur significant expenses related to product manufacturing, pre-commercial activities and commercialization. We may also require additional capital to pursue in-licenses or acquisitions of other programs to further expand our pipeline.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of our product candidates and programs, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our working capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on and could increase significantly as a result of many factors, including:
- the scope, progress, results, and costs of drug discovery, laboratory testing, and preclinical and clinical development for our current and future product candidates;
- timely completion of our preclinical studies and clinical trials, which may be significantly slower or cost more than we currently anticipate and will depend substantially upon the performance of third-party contractors;
- the prevalence, duration, and severity of potential side effects or other safety issues experienced by patients receiving our current and future product candidates;
- our ability to establish and maintain collaborations and license agreements on favorable terms, if at all, and the extent to which we acquire or in-license technologies or programs, if at all;
- our ability to enroll clinical trials in a timely manner and to quickly resolve any delays or clinical holds that may be imposed on our development programs;
- the costs of expanding our facilities to accommodate our expected growth in personnel;
- our ability and the ability of third parties with whom we contract to manufacture adequate clinical and commercial supplies of our current and future product candidates, remain in good standing with regulatory authorities and develop, validate, and maintain commercially viable manufacturing processes that are compliant with current good manufacturing practices;
- the costs of preparing, filing, and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights, and defending intellectual property-related claims;
- the extent to which we acquire or in-license technologies or programs;
- the sales price and availability of adequate third-party coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if and when approved; and
- the ongoing costs of operating as a public company.
Until such time, if ever, that we can generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings, government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements, and other collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity, current ownership interests will be diluted. If we raise additional funds through government or third-party funding, collaboration agreements, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements, or marketing and distribution arrangements, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce, or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market products or product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments
We have certain payment obligations under various license and collaboration agreements. Under these agreements, we are required to make milestone payments upon successful completion and achievement of certain intellectual property, clinical, regulatory, and sales milestones. The payment obligations under the license and collaboration agreements are contingent upon future events, such as our achievement of specified development, clinical, regulatory, and commercial milestones, and we will be required to make milestone and royalty payments in connection with the sale of products developed under these agreements. As the achievement and timing of these future milestone payments are not probable or estimable, such amounts have not been included in our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2024, total future minimum lease payments were $3.6 million with $1.6 million payable within twelve months. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail on our lease obligations and the timing of expected future payments.
In addition, we enter into agreements in the normal course of business with CROs for clinical trials and with other vendors for preclinical studies, manufacturing services, and other services and products for operating purposes, which are generally cancelable upon written notice.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies have not materially changed from those described in the 2023 10-K.
Emerging Growth Company Status
In April 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act") was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an "emerging growth company" ("EGC") can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an EGC can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period for new or revised accounting standards during the period in which we remain an emerging growth company; however, we may adopt certain new or revised accounting standards early.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which requires the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates to exceed $700.0 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Information required by this Item is not applicable as we are electing scaled disclosure requirements available to smaller reporting companies with respect to this Item.
Controls and procedures
As filed, 2,318 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act”), designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of March 31, 2024, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily applies our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation carried out pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act, that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Risk factors
As filed, 737 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
