ADC Therapeutics SA

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited) – in KUSD except for share and per share data

1.Corporate information

ADC Therapeutics SA (the “Company” or “ADCT”) was incorporated on June 6, 2011 under the laws of Switzerland. The registered office of the Company is located at Route de la Corniche 3B, 1066 Epalinges, Switzerland. The Company controls three wholly-owned subsidiaries: ADC Therapeutics America, Inc. (“ADCT America”), which was incorporated in Delaware, USA on December 10, 2014, ADC Therapeutics (UK) Ltd (“ADCT UK”), which was incorporated in England on December 12, 2014 and ADC Therapeutics (NL) B.V. which was incorporated in the Netherlands on February 25, 2022. The Company and its three subsidiaries form the ADCT Group (the “Group”).

The Group is focused on the development and commercialization of antibody drug conjugates (“ADCs”), including research, development, human clinical trials, regulatory approval and commercialization. On April 23, 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved ZYNLONTA for the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (“DLBCL”) and the Company commenced recognizing revenue upon the sale of ZYNLONTA during the second quarter of 2021. ADCs are drug constructs which combine monoclonal antibodies specific to particular types of cells with cytotoxic molecules or warheads which seek to kill cancer cells to which the ADC attaches. ADCs have extensive potential therapeutic applications in cancer.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue on November 7, 2023.

Going concern basis

ADCT is a commercial-stage company developing innovative therapeutics. The Group is exposed to all risks inherent in establishing and developing its business, including the substantial uncertainty that current projects will succeed. The Group’s success may also depend on its ability to:

•establish and maintain a strong patent position and protection;

•develop, gain regulatory approval and commercialize drug products;

•enter into collaborations with partners in the pharmaceutical industry;

•acquire and retain key personnel; and

•acquire additional funding to support its operations.

Since its incorporation, the Group has primarily funded its growth through capital increases and additional funds provided by research collaborations, license agreements, the issuance of the Company’s common shares, the issuance of convertible loans, the issuance of term loans and proceeds from a royalty purchase agreement. The Group does not have recourse to bank loans. As a result, the Group is not exposed to liquidity risk through requests for early repayment of loans, other than, pursuant to the senior secured term loan facility, it must maintain a balance of at least USD 60.0 million in cash and cash equivalents plus any accounts payable that are greater than ninety days old at the end of each quarter.

As of September 30, 2023, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to USD 310.4 million (December 31, 2022: USD 326.4 million).

Management believes that the Group has sufficient resources to meet its financial obligations for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and, as a result, is presenting these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group on a going concern basis.

2.Basis of preparation

Statement of Compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Functional and reporting currency

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (“USD” or “$”), which is the Company’s functional currency and the Group’s reporting currency.

A subsidiary of the Company, ADCT UK, has a functional currency of the British Pound (“GBP”). The following exchange rates have been used for the translation of the financial statements of ADCT UK:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023	2022
USD / GBP
Closing rate, GBP 1	1.22041	1.11348
Weighted average exchange rate, GBP 1	1.25221	1.18746

Basis of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company which are the same as those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty included those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no material changes to the use of estimates and judgements other than those described in note 3, "Significant accounting policies."

3.Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied by the Company in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 and have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, except for the following:

Revenue Recognition

Product Revenue

The Company generates revenue from sales of ZYNLONTA in the U.S. for the treatment of relapsed or refractory DLBCL, which was approved by the FDA on April 23, 2021 and launched shortly thereafter. Revenue is recognized when control is transferred to the customer at the net selling price, which includes reductions for gross-to-net (“GTN”) sales adjustments such as government rebates, chargebacks, distributor service fees, other rebates and administrative fees, sales returns and allowances and sales discounts.

On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was enacted, which added a requirement for manufacturers of certain single-source drugs (including biologics and biosimilars) separately paid for under Medicare Part B for at least 18 months and marketed in single-dose containers or packages (known as refundable single-dose container or single-use package drugs) to provide annual refunds if those portions of the dispensed drug that are unused and discarded exceed an applicable percentage defined by statute or regulation. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (the “CMS”) finalized regulations to implement this section on November 18, 2022, and the provision went into effect on January 1, 2023.

The Company has accounted for this annual refund (“discarded drug rebate”) as a GTN sales adjustment beginning in the first quarter of 2023. The discarded drug rebate will involve significant estimates and judgment after considering factors including legal interpretations of applicable laws and regulations, historical experience with discarded volumes and processing time lags.

The Company uses information from external sources to identify the Company’s discarded volumes and estimate the discarded drug rebate. The Company’s estimates are subject to inherent limitations of estimates that rely on third-party information and reflect other limitations including lags between the date as of which third-party information is generated and the date on which the Company receives third-party information. Estimates for the discarded drug rebate are being assessed each period and adjusted as required to revise information or actual experience.

New and amended IFRS standards

There are no new IFRS standards, amendments to standards or interpretations that are mandatory for the financial year beginning on January 1, 2023, that are relevant to the Group. New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are not yet effective, which have been deemed by the Group as currently not relevant, are not listed here.

4.Financial risk management

4.1Financial risk factors

The Group’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including changes in the Company’s share price, exposure to fluctuation in currency exchange rates and exposure to interest rate movements), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022. In relation to the royalty purchase agreement with entities managed by Healthcare Royalty Management, LLC ("HCR"), the Company is obligated to pay interest in the form of royalties in connection with certain net sales and licensing revenue. As the effective interest rate ("EIR") on the deferred royalty obligation does not depend on market performance, the exposure to interest rate and market risk is deemed low. See note 17, “Deferred royalty obligation” for further information. In regards to the senior secured term loans, the interest rate is variable and dependent upon market factors. The Company will update the EIR at the end of each reporting period for changes in the rate. See note 13, "Senior secured term loan facility and warrants" for further information. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase (decrease) in the interest rate as of September 30, 2023 would have increased (decreased) the effective interest expense associated with the Company's senior secured term loan facility by KUSD 1,124 and (KUSD 1,124). There have been no other material changes in financial risk management since December 31, 2022.

4.2Fair value estimation

As of September 30, 2023, the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value for the following financial assets and liabilities:

•Cash and cash equivalents

•Trade accounts receivable; and

•Trade accounts payable

In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no significant changes in the business or economic circumstances that affected the fair value of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities.

Fair values must be estimated at the end of each reporting period with regard to the senior secured term loan warrant obligation and the Deerfield warrants. The approach to valuation follows the grant date fair value principle, and the key input factors are described for the senior secured term loan facility warrant obligation in note 13, "Senior secured term loan facility and warrants" and for the Deerfield warrants in note 15, "Deerfield warrants." Commonly accepted pricing models (Black-Scholes) have been used to calculate the fair values. The valuation of the senior secured term loan facility warrant obligation and Deerfield warrants are classified as pertaining to Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The convertible loan derivatives previously were classified as pertaining to Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy and were extinguished on August 15, 2022. See note 14, "Convertible loans" for further information. The Company no longer has any inputs pertaining to level 3 of the valuation hierarchy set out below.

The different levels of the valuation hierarchy have been defined as follows:

(b)Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (for example, as prices) or indirectly (for example, derived from prices);

(c)Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

There were no transfers between the respective levels during the period.

6.Segment information

The Company is managed and operated as one business. A single management team that reports to the chief executive officer comprehensively manages the entire business. Accordingly, the Company views its business and manages its operations as one operating segment.

7.Operating expense

The following table provides the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations classification of the Company's total operating expense:


(in KUSD)	Three months ended September 30,		Nine months ended September 30,

Total operating expense	51,897	79,435	181,533	252,999

(1) Includes depreciation expense

(2) Includes share-based compensation expense

The decrease in Cost of product sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily driven by lower impairment charges related to the manufacturing of batches that did not meet the Company's specifications.

R&D external costs decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of the completion of the Phase 2 study in 2022 for camidanlumab tesirine (Cami) and our decision to pause the program while we evaluated FDA feedback. The Company continues to assess a potential regulatory pathway and seek a partner to continue developing this program. The Company also had higher cost sharing with our partners, lower clinical trial costs for LOTIS 3, LOTIS 6 and LOTIS 7, as well as lower professional fees related to ZYNLONTA, partially offset by higher clinical trial expenses for LOTIS 5 and LOTIS 9. In ADCT-212, the Company incurred lower manufacturing expenses related to IND-enabling work. The decrease in external costs for ADCT-901 was partially offset by an increase in clinical trial costs and expenses related to the Company's preclinical product candidates and research pipeline. Employee expense decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense driven by fluctuations in our share price, voluntary terminations as well as the workforce reduction announced and put into effect during the second quarter of 2023.

The decrease in S&M expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense due to the fluctuations in the Company's share price and voluntary terminations as well as lower wages and benefits. The decrease in S&M expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense due to the fluctuations in the Company's share price, voluntary terminations and the commercial re-alignment announced and put into effect during the second quarter of 2023, as well as lower spend on marketing, analytics and expenses, including those expenses in the European Union relating to the commercial launch of ZYNLONTA.

The decrease in G&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was attributable to lower share-based compensation expense due to fluctuations in the Company's share price and voluntary terminations as well as lower wages and benefits. The decrease in G&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was also attributable to lower share-based compensation expense due to fluctuations in the Company's share price, award forfeitures in connection with the transition of a board member, voluntary terminations and the workforce reduction announced and put into effect during the second quarter of 2023 as well as lower external costs related to insurance and IT and lower professional fees primarily associated with the license agreement entered into with MTPC recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Convertible loans, derivatives, change in fair value (expense) income

Changes in derivative fair values are explained in note 14, “Convertible loans.” Pursuant to the Facility Agreement with Deerfield, the Company drew down the Deerfield First Tranche of the convertible loans amounting to USD 65.0 million on May 19, 2020. Additionally, in connection with the FDA approval of ZYNLONTA, the Company drew down the Deerfield Second Tranche of convertible loans amounting to USD 50.0 million on May 17, 2021. On August 15, 2022, pursuant to the exchange agreement with Deerfield, Deerfield exchanged USD 115.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's senior secured convertible notes for warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,412,840 common shares, an aggregate of 2,390,297 common shares and cash equal to USD 117.3 million.

Deerfield warrant obligation, change in fair value income

Pursuant to an exchange agreement with Deerfield entered into on August 15, 2022, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,412,840 common shares. The Deerfield warrant obligation has been recorded at its initial fair value and is remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in fair value of the Deerfield warrant obligation are explained in note 15, "Deerfield warrants."

Senior secured term loan facility, warrants, change in fair value income

The Company has accounted for the First Tranche of the senior secured term loan and warrants as one hybrid financial instrument, with the USD 120.0 million proceeds separated into two components: a warrant obligation and a loan. The warrant obligation has been recorded at its initial fair value and is remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in fair value of the warrant obligation are explained in note 13, "Senior secured term loan facility and warrants."

Share of results with joint venture

In connection with the formation of Overland ADCT BioPharma in December 2020, the Company recorded its proportionate share of Overland ADCT BioPharma’s comprehensive loss. See note 11, “Interest in joint venture.”

Exchange differences gain (loss)

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to British pounds, Euros and Swiss francs. Exchange differences represent gain or (loss) based on favorable or unfavorable changes in foreign currencies.

R&D tax credit

The Company recognizes amounts received and receivable by its subsidiary, ADCT UK, under the United Kingdom’s R&D Expenditure Credit scheme (“UK R&D Credit Scheme”). The grants represent 20% of eligible expenditures for the second and third quarters of 2023 and represent 13% of eligible expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The grants represent 13% of eligible expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The claims are payable through the tax system, as a refund of corporation tax or of other taxes, including income tax and social security payments deducted at source from qualifying (research) employees’ payroll and VAT. The relevant amounts have been therefore presented net in the balance sheet. As the credit is independent of ADCT UK’s taxable profit, is clearly designed to incentivize companies to invest in R&D activities and is itself taxable income, the Group has recognized the income as government grants within non-operating expense and not as a credit to income tax expense.

9.Inventory

Inventory as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consisted of the following:


(in KUSD)	As of September 30, 2023	As of December 31, 2022

Work in process	22,170	18,165
Finished goods	558	399
Total inventory	22,728	18,564

Impairment charges of KUSD nil and KUSD 872 were recognized and charged to cost of product sales in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company designated certain capitalized pre-approval ZYNLONTA inventory for R&D use and recorded a charge to R&D expenses, which was partially offset by a reversal of previously recorded impairment charges. The net impact of KUSD nil and KUSD 75 was recorded as an expense to R&D in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The reversal of previously recorded impairment charges is based on the existence of inventory on hand and estimated demand, as well as expiration dating.

10.Intangible assets

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not capitalize any license fees as intangible assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company capitalized the following milestone payments as intangible assets:

•An amount of KUSD 500 paid upon the dosing of a specific number of patients in the first in-human clinical study related to an antibody the Company acquired from a third party to be used in research, development, manufacturing and commercialization. The amount was capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset; and

• An amount of KUSD 195 paid upon the successful completion of in-vivo efficacy studies related to a license with a third party to use their specific binding proteins in the development, manufacturing and commercialization of products. The amount was capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company decided to terminate three programs. Consequently, impairment charges of USD 1.9 million (corresponding to the entire carrying amount of the capitalized licenses) was recognized and charged to R&D expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations. No impairment losses were recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company performs an assessment at the end of each period to determine whether there is any indication that an intangible asset may be impaired. The Company identified one indicator of impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company evaluated further and concluded there were no impairments, other than the terminated programs.

The table below provides a rollforward of the Company’s intangible assets as of September 30, 2023 and 2022.

11.Interest in joint venture

The Company is invested in a joint venture company, Overland ADCT BioPharma, with Overland Pharmaceuticals (“Overland”), to develop and commercialize one of the Company’s ADC products, ZYNLONTA, and three of the Company’s ADC product candidates, ADCT-601, ADCT-602 and ADCT-901, in greater China and Singapore. The table below provides a rollforward of the Company’s interest in Overland ADCT BioPharma as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

January 1, 2022						41,236
Share of comprehensive loss in joint venture						(6,549)
September 30, 2022						34,687

As of September 30, 2023, the deferred gain of USD 23.5 million arising from the Company’s contribution for its equity investment in the joint venture remained unchanged from December 31, 2022. The Company’s carrying value of its investment in a joint venture increases or decreases in relation to the Company’s proportionate share of comprehensive income or loss of the joint venture. When the Company’s share of losses of a joint venture exceeds the Company’s interest in that joint venture less the carrying value of the deferred gain described above, the Company ceases to recognize its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture.

On September 1, 2023, the Company modified the terms of its existing lease for its office in Switzerland. The existing lease contract was originally scheduled to expire on June 15, 2024 and has been cancelled and replaced by the new lease. The new lease also includes a reduction in the amount of office space being occupied. The modified lease commenced on September 1, 2023 and expires November 30, 2028, and includes a renewal option for five additional years through November 2033. The Company is reasonably certain it will exercise the extension option and therefore has accounted for the modified lease as a ten-year lease term. Total rent payments through November 30, 2033 are USD 1.5 million.

On January 30, 2023, the Company expanded the square footage of its existing lease related to its U.K. office. The lease commenced on January 30, 2023 and expires on January 27, 2031, and includes an option to terminate early on January 26, 2026. The Company is reasonably certain it will not terminate the lease early and therefore will account for the lease using an eight-year lease term. Total rent payments including service charges through January 27, 2031 are USD 7.6 million.

Depreciation of right-of-use assets have been charged to the following categories in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations. Depreciation expense for S&M expenses was not material for any of the periods presented.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized income of KUSD 299 and KUSD 916, respectively, as a result of changes in the fair value of the warrant obligations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized income of KUSD 2,543 as a result of changes in the fair value of the warrant obligations. The fair value of the warrant obligations as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was KUSD 79 and KUSD 995, respectively. The decreases in fair value of the warrant obligation from December 31, 2022 to September 30, 2023 and from August 15, 2022 to September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the decrease in the fair value of the underlying shares during those periods. These changes were recorded directly to Non-operating expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations. See note 8, "Other income (expense)" for further information.

The Company used an independent valuation firm to assist in calculating the fair value of the warrant obligations, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Key inputs for the valuation of the warrant obligations as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

Senior Secured Term Loan

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded interest expense on the senior secured term loan in the amount of KUSD 4,728 and KUSD 13,748, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded interest expense on the senior secured term loan in the amount of KUSD 1,933 which was recorded in Financial expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations. The EIR at September 30, 2023 was 16.93%. The carrying value of the senior secured term loan was USD 112.0 million as of September 30, 2023, of which USD 14.3 million and USD 97.7 million represented the short-term and long-term portion of the liability, respectively.

Pursuant to this Loan Agreement, the Company is subject to a covenant that requires it to maintain a balance at the end of each quarter of at least USD 60.0 million in cash and cash equivalents that are included on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim balance sheet plus an amount equal to any accounts payable that remain unpaid more than ninety days after the date of the original invoice. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with this covenant.

14.Convertible loans

On April 24, 2020, the Company entered into a USD 115.0 million Facility Agreement with Deerfield, pursuant to which Deerfield extended a tranche of USD 65.0 million of convertible loans on May 19, 2020 upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering (the “Deerfield First Tranche”) and a tranche of USD 50.0 million of convertible loans on May 17, 2021 after the receipt of regulatory approval for ZYNLONTA (the “Deerfield Second Tranche”).

On August 15, 2022, pursuant to an exchange agreement with Deerfield, Deerfield exchanged USD 115.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's senior secured convertible notes for warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,412,840 common shares, an aggregate of 2,390,297 common shares and cash equal to USD 117.3 million.

As a result of the exchange agreement on August 15, 2022, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of USD 42.1 million, which primarily consists of the difference between the aggregate principal amount and carrying value of the convertible loans, exit fee, as well as the unpaid interest payments through the maturity date.

Embedded conversion option derivatives

Prior to the exchange, the Company accounted for the Facility agreement as a loan and embedded conversion option features. The embedded conversion option derivative was marked-to-market while the loan was measured at its amortized cost on a quarterly basis.

The following table summarizes the changes in fair value (expense) income of the embedded conversion option derivatives during the three and nine months September 30, 2022:



	Three months ended September 30,		Nine months ended September 30,
(in KUSD)		2022	2022
Deerfield First Tranche (1)		(2,822)	15,556
Deerfield Second Tranche - after FDA approval (1)		(1,838)	10,094
Total		(4,660)	25,650

(1) The fair value (expense) income recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 represents the changes in fair value up until the point of exchange on August 15, 2022.

The increases (decreases) in fair value of the embedded derivatives are primarily due to increases (decreases) in the fair value of the underlying shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. These amounts were charged directly to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of operations. See note 8, “Other income (expense)” for further information.

The Company used an independent valuation firm to assist in calculating the fair value of the Deerfield First Tranche and Deerfield Second Tranche of the embedded conversion option derivatives, which is based on the mean of values derived from application of the Hull and Goldman Sachs convertible bond pricing models. Key inputs for the valuations as of August 15, 2022 was as follows:

Deerfield First Tranche


	As of
	August 15, 2022
Exercise price at 130% of the IPO price of 19.00, in USD	24.70
Forced conversion price, in USD	67.93

Residual convertible loan

The following table summarizes the interest expense recorded on the convertible loan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022:



	Three months ended September 30,	Nine months ended September 30,
(in KUSD)	2022	2022
Deerfield First Tranche	1,132	5,664
Deerfield Second Tranche	404	2,020
Total	1,536	7,684

15.Deerfield warrants

Pursuant to the exchange agreement with Deerfield entered into on August 15, 2022, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,412,840 common shares. The warrants consist of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,631,578 common shares at an exercise price of USD 24.70 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,781,262 common shares at an exercise price of USD 28.07 per share. Each warrant is exercisable, on a cash or a cashless basis, at the option of the holder, at any time on or prior to May 19, 2025. The warrants contain customary anti-dilution adjustments and entitle holders to receive any dividends or other distributions paid on the underlying common shares prior to their expiration on an as-exercised basis. Each holder also may require the Company to repurchase the warrants for their Black Scholes-based fair value in connection with certain transformative transactions or change of control of the Company that occur prior to their expiration.

The terms of the warrants are reflective of the terms of the embedded conversion option features of the Deerfield Facility Agreement prior to the Exchange Agreement. As a result, the fair value of the warrants was determined to approximate the fair value of the existing embedded conversion option features immediately prior to the consummation of the Exchange Agreement. As such, the warrant obligation was recorded at an initial fair value of KUSD 12,297 on August 15, 2022. Subsequent to issuance, the warrant obligation will be remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized income of KUSD 140 and KUSD 776, respectively, as a result of changes in the fair value of the warrant obligation. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized income of KUSD 9,418 as a result of changes in the fair value of the warrant valuation. The fair value of the warrant obligation as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was KUSD 17 and KUSD 793, respectively. The decrease in fair value of the warrant obligation from December 31, 2022 to September 30, 2023 and from August 15, 2022 to September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the decrease in the fair value of the underlying shares during those periods. These amounts were recorded to Non-operating expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations. See note 8, "Other income (expense)" for further information.

The Company used an independent valuation firm to assist in calculating the fair value of the Deerfield warrant obligation, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Key inputs for the valuation of the warrant obligation as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:


	As of		As of
	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Exercise price in USD	24.70 and 28.07		24.70 and 28.07
Share price in USD	0.90		3.84

16.Share-based compensation

Equity Incentive Plan 2019

In November 2019, the Company adopted the Equity Incentive Plan 2019. Under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019, the Company may at its discretion grant to plan participants, such as directors, certain employees and service providers, awards in the form of restricted shares and restricted share units (“RSUs”), share options, share appreciation rights, performance awards and other share-based awards. The Company has reserved 17,741,355 common shares for future issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019 (including share-based equity awards granted to date less awards forfeited). As of September 30, 2023, the Company had 3,388,272 common shares available for the future issuance of share-based equity awards. On March 22, 2023, the Company issued its annual equity award, which was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and consisted of 2,026,341 share options and 538,175 RSUs. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has only granted share options, RSUs and performance awards under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019.

As of September 30, 2023, the cumulative amount recorded as an increase to Other Reserves within equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim balance sheet of the Equity Incentive Plan 2019 was KUSD 156,094. The amount of expense for all awards recognized for services received during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were KUSD 2,005 and KUSD 10,992, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were KUSD 14,565 and KUSD 42,293, respectively. An amount of KUSD 512 was withheld for tax charges during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Equity Exchange Program

On March 6, 2023, the Company commenced a tender offer with employees to exchange some or all of their eligible stock options based on a pre-determined exchange ratio for new options as detailed in our Schedule TO filed March 6, 2023 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Exchange Offer”), to, among other things, further align employee incentives with the current market conditions. The Exchange Offer expired on April 3, 2023 and new options were granted on April 4, 2023. Employees holding stock options to purchase 2.2 million common shares, with exercise prices ranging from USD 8.12 per share to USD 48.77 per share, participated in the Exchange Offer, and 0.9 million new options were granted based on the exchange ratios set forth in the Exchange Offer. The new options have an exercise price of USD 2.06 per share, which is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common shares as reported on the NYSE on April 4, 2023. The new options include additional vesting conditions. Any previously held options that were vested at the time of exchange will fully vest on April 4, 2024. With respect to any options held that were unvested at the time of grant, a portion of the new options will vest on the first anniversary date with additional portions vesting monthly thereafter until the new options are fully vested five years after the original grant date.

Under IFRS 2, the incremental compensation expense of a modified award is measured as the excess of the fair value of each award of new options granted to participants in this Exchange Offer, measured as of the date the new options are granted, over the fair value of the eligible options replaced in exchange for the new options, measured immediately prior to the replacement. The Company utilized a binomial valuation model and determined there was no incremental share-based compensation expense associated with the new options granted under this Exchange Offer. The Company will continue to recognize share-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of the exchanged options.

Share Options

Pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan 2019, the Company may grant share options to its directors, certain employees and service providers working for the benefit of the Company at the time. The exercise price per share option is set by the Company at the fair market value of the underlying common shares on the date of grant, as determined by the Company, which is generally the closing share price of the Company’s common shares traded on the NYSE. The awards generally vest 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and thereafter evenly on a monthly basis over the subsequent three years. The contractual term of each share option award granted is ten years. Under the grant, the options may be settled only in common shares of the Company. Therefore, the grants of share options under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019 have been accounted for as equity-settled under IFRS 2. As such, the Company records a charge for the vested portion of award grants and for partially earned but non-vested portions of award grants. This results in a front-loaded charge to the

Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations and a corresponding increase to Other Reserves within equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim balance sheet.

The expense recognized for services received during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was KUSD 1,277 and KUSD 5,343, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were KUSD 8,193 and KUSD 27,158, respectively.

The following table summarizes the share option awards outstanding as of September 30, 2023:


	Average strike price per share in USD	Number of awards	Weighted average remaining life in years
December 31, 2022	18.30	10,755,494	8.46
Granted	2.39	3,436,141	8.57
Option Exchange - Granted	2.06	898,585	8.57
Forfeited	13.29	(2,110,729)	N/A
Option Exchange - Forfeited	22.55	(2,197,458)	N/A
September 30, 2023	11.58	10,782,033	8.08

Awards outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, expire through 2033 and 2032, respectively. The options granted during 2023 include the Company’s annual equity award discussed above. The grant-date fair value of the options relating to the annual equity awards was USD 1.41 per share. As of September 30, 2023, 3,789,960 awards are vested and exercisable out of the total outstanding awards of 10,782,033 common shares. The weighted average strike price and weighted average remaining life for vested and exercisable awards is USD 23.19 and 6.49 years, respectively.

The fair values of the options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019 were determined on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company used an independent valuation firm to assist in calculating the fair value of the award grants per participant.

The fair values of the options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were determined on the date of the grant using the following assumptions:


	Three Months Ended	Three Months Ended	Nine Months Ended	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2023	September 30, 2022	September 30, 2023	September 30, 2022
Share price, in USD	0.82 - 1.51	4.83 - 8.54	0.82 - 5.45	4.83 - 19.69
Strike price, in USD	0.82 - 1.51	4.83 - 8.54	0.82 - 5.45	4.83 - 19.69
Expected volatility, in %	80%	70% to 80%	75% to 80%	70% to 80%
Award life, in years	6.08	6.08	6.08	6.08
Expected dividends	—	—	—	—
Risk-free interest rate, in %	4.11% - 4.62%	2.61% - 3.77%	3.39% - 4.62%	1.46% - 3.77%

The expected volatility was based on the Company’s historical volatility and selected volatility determined by median values observed among other comparable public companies. Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, the Company's expected volatility is no longer determined by values observed among other comparable companies. The award life is based on the time interval between the date of grant and the date during the ten-year life after which, when making the grant, the Company expected on average that participants would exercise their options.

The fair value of the new options granted under the Equity Exchange program was estimated at the date of grant using a binomial model with the following assumptions: Share price of USD 2.06, expected volatility of 77% - 79%, expected risk-free interest rate of 3.29% - 3.31%, expected dividends of 0% and expected term was derived based on the contractual term of the options, the expected exercise behavior and expected post-vesting forfeiture rates. The Company used an independent valuation firm to assist in calculating the fair value of the new award grants per participant.

RSUs

Pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan 2019, the Company may grant RSUs to its directors, certain employees and service providers working for the benefit of the Company at the time. The awards generally vest annually over a period of three years commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The RSUs may be settled only in common shares of the Company. Therefore, the grants of RSUs under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019 have been accounted for as equity-settled under IFRS 2. As such, the Company records a charge for the vested portion of award grants and for partially earned but non-vested portions of award grants. This results in a front-loaded charge to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations and a corresponding increase to Other Reserves within equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim balance sheet.

The expense recognized for services received during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was KUSD 728 and KUSD 5,649, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were KUSD 6,372 and KUSD 15,135, respectively.


	Number of awards	Weighted average grant date fair value
December 31, 2022	1,585,877	13.26
Granted	979,680	2.13
Vested	(1,323,841)	10.15
Forfeited	(259,258)	8.10
September 30, 2023	982,458	8.27

The RSUs granted during 2023 include the annual equity award on March 22, 2023 discussed above which had a grant date fair value of USD 1.99.

Share-based Compensation Reserves

The movement in the Share-based Compensation Reserves (included in Other reserves within equity) is as follows:


	Three months ended		Nine months ended
(in KUSD)	September 30, 2023	September 30, 2022	September 30, 2023	September 30, 2022
Equity Incentive Plan 2019 - Share Options	1,277	8,193	5,343	27,158

Total	2,083	14,565	11,275	41,781

17.Deferred royalty obligation

On August 25, 2021, the Company entered into a royalty purchase agreement with HCR for up to USD 325.0 million of which the Company received gross proceeds of USD 225.0 million during 2021 and received an additional USD 75.0 million in June 2023 upon the first commercial sale of ZYNLONTA in the United Kingdom or any European Union country.

The table below provides a rollforward of the Company’s debt obligation relating to the royalty purchase agreement.


(in KUSD)
January 1, 2022						225,477
Less: royalty payments						10,998
Plus: interest expense						23,200
Less: cumulative catch-up adjustment, Financial income						15,402
December 31, 2022						222,277
Plus: Additional proceeds from the sale of future royalties						75,000
Less: Transaction costs						1,898
Less: royalty payments						7,611
Plus: interest expense						19,662
Plus: cumulative catch-up adjustment, Financial expense						4,851
September 30, 2023						312,281

The Company recorded a liability relating to the initial gross proceeds received less transaction costs in August 2021 and increased the liability in June 2023 for the eligible amount received upon the first commercial sale of ZYNLONTA in the United Kingdom or any European Union country less transaction costs. To determine the accretion of the liability related to the deferred royalty obligation, the Company is required to estimate the total amount of future royalty payments and estimated timing of such payment to HCR based on the Company's revenue projections. Based on the Company's initial revenue projections, the Company used an independent valuation firm to assist in determining the total amount of future royalty payments and estimated timing of such payment to HCR using an option pricing Monte Carlo simulation model. The amount ultimately received by the Company will be accreted to the total amount of the royalty payments necessary to extinguish the Company’s obligation under the agreement, which will be recorded as interest expense over the life of the royalty purchase agreement. The estimate of this total interest expense resulted in an EIR of 10%. As royalty payments are made to HCR, the balance of the debt obligation will be effectively repaid over the life of the royalty purchase agreement.

Based on the Company's periodic review, the exact amount and timing of repayment is likely to be different each reporting period as compared to those estimated based on the Company's initial revenue projections. A significant increase or decrease in actual net sales of ZYNLONTA compared to the Company’s revenue projections, and regulatory approval and commercialization of Cami, as well as ZYNLONTA in other indications as well as licensing revenue could change the royalty rate and royalty cap due to HCR, which could materially impact the debt obligation as well as interest expense associated with the royalty purchase agreement. Also, the Company’s total obligation to HCR can vary depending on the achievement of the sales milestones as well as the timing of a change in control event. The Company will periodically assess the expected payments to HCR based on its underlying revenue projections and to the extent the amount or timing of such payments is materially different than its initial estimates it will record a cumulative catch-up adjustment.

Based on the Company's 2023 updated development plans, and the transaction costs related to the eligible amount received in June 2023, the Company updated the valuation model during the second quarter of 2023. In addition, the Company reflected in the model the actual sales results for the third quarter of 2023. These updates resulted in a cumulative catch-up adjustment of USD 4.9 million recorded as Financial expense within the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Under the cumulative catch-up method, the EIR is not revised when actual or estimated net sales differ from those estimated as of the inception of the debt obligation. Instead, the carrying amount of the debt obligation is adjusted to an amount equal to the present value of the estimated remaining future payments, discounted by using the original EIR, 10%, as of the date on which the estimate changes.

Basic and diluted loss per share	(0.58)	(0.65)	(1.89)	(1.70)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, basic and diluted loss per share are calculated on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding and exclude shares to be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019, 2022 ESPP and the Company’s warrant agreements, as the effect of including those shares would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, basic and diluted loss per share are calculated on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding and exclude shares to be issued under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and the Company's warrant obligations as the effect of including those shares would be anti-dilutive. See note 16, “Share-based compensation expense,” note 13, “Senior secured term loan facility and warrants,” note 15, “Deerfield warrants” and note 14, “Convertible loans” for further information.

Potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the diluted per share calculations because the effect of including them would be anti-dilutive were as follows:
