SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.
These forward-looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various important factors, including but not limited to, the following:
•the effects of inflation on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance;
•our ability to execute on our plans to research, develop and commercialize our product candidates;
•the success of our ongoing and planned clinical trials;
•the timing of and our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for our product candidates;
•our ability to identify additional products or product candidates with significant commercial potential that are consistent with our business objectives;
•our ability to receive research funding and achieve anticipated milestones under our collaborations;
•our partners’ abilities to advance drug candidates into, and successfully complete, clinical trials;
•our ability to attract collaborators with development, regulatory, and commercialization expertise;
•our ability to protect our intellectual property position;
•the rate and degree of market acceptance and clinical utility of our products;
•costs of compliance and our failure to comply with new and existing governmental regulations;
•the capabilities and strategy of our suppliers and vendors including key manufacturers of our clinical drug supplies;
•significant competition in our industry;
•the potential loss or retirement of key members of management;
•our failure to successfully execute our growth strategy including any delays in our planned future growth;
•our failure to maintain effective internal controls, which led to the restatement of our financial statements, and the risk that we may experience additional material weaknesses; and
•our ability to accurately estimate expenses, future revenues, capital requirements and needs for additional financing.
These forward-looking statements reflect management’s current views with respect to future events and with respect to our business and future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, those described under Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available in the future. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosure we make in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Xencor, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Xencor, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in California in 1997 and reincorporated in Delaware in September 2004. The Company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing engineered antibody therapeutics to treat patients with cancer and autoimmune diseases, who have unmet medical needs. The Company leverages its protein engineering capabilities to design new technologies and XmAb® drug candidates with improved properties. These candidates are advanced into clinical-stage development, where the Company is conducting Phase 1 studies across a broad portfolio of programs. Based on the results of these studies, the Company determines which programs to advance into later-stage development and potential commercialization, which to partner in order to access complementary resources, and which to discontinue.
Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The interim consolidated financial statements of Xencor, Inc. are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim periods. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments of a normal recurring nature have been made to present fairly the Company’s financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted from the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and related notes. Readers are urged to review the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for more complete descriptions and discussions. Operating results and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Xencor, Inc. and Gale Therapeutics Inc. (“Gale”), a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Up through January 20, 2025, the Company owned or was exposed to less than 100% of the economics and accordingly, the Company recorded net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interests retained in such entity by the respective noncontrolling party. On January 20, 2025, the Company obtained 100% of the economic interests in Gale and no longer recognizes a noncontrolling interest in its consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025. Effective April 29, 2025, Gale was merged into the Company, and as a result, the Company assumed all of Gale’s liabilities and obligations.
Income Tax
The Company recorded $0.4 million of income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025. There is no income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s deferred income tax assets, consisting primarily of capitalized R&D under IRC Section 174, net operating loss and research and development tax credit carryforwards, have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect any recently issued accounting standards, other than those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, to have a material impact on its financial results.

Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Alexion”)
In January 2013, the Company entered into an Option and License Agreement (the “Alexion Agreement”) with Alexion. Under the terms of the Alexion Agreement, the Company granted to Alexion an exclusive research license, with limited sublicensing rights, to make and use the Company’s Xtend technology to evaluate and advance compounds. Alexion exercised its rights to one target program, ALXN1210, which is now marketed as Ultomiris®.
Under the Alexion Agreement, no further milestone payments are expected. The Company is entitled to receive royalties based on a percentage of net sales of Ultomiris sold by Alexion, its affiliates or its sublicensees, which percentage is in the low single digits. Alexion’s royalty obligations continue on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis until the expiration of the last-to-expire valid claim in a licensed patent covering the applicable product in such country.
On November 3, 2023, the Company entered into a royalty sale agreement (the “Ultomiris Royalty Sale Agreement”) with OCM Life Sciences Portfolio LP (“OMERS”), under which OMERS acquired the rights to certain royalties associated with the existing license relating to Ultomiris.
Under the Alexion Agreement, the Company recognized $15.5 million and $12.6 million of non-cash royalty revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the Company recorded $15.9 million in accounts receivable based on estimated royalties due under the arrangement and no deferred revenue. Payment of this receivable will be made directly to OMERS. See Note 6.
Incyte Corporation (“Incyte”)
In June 2010, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “MorphoSys Agreement”) with MorphoSys AG (“MorphoSys”). Under the MorphoSys Agreement, the Company granted MorphoSys an exclusive worldwide license to its patents and know-how to research, develop and commercialize the XmAb5574 product candidate (subsequently renamed MOR208 and tafasitamab) with the right to sublicense under certain conditions. In February 2024, Incyte assumed all of MorphoSys’ right, title and interest in the MorphoSys Agreement and acquired exclusive global development and commercialization rights to tafasitamab. If certain developmental, regulatory and sales milestones are achieved, the Company is eligible to receive future milestone payments and royalties from Incyte.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted Incyte’s submission of a supplemental biologics license application in February 2025, triggering a $12.5 million milestone payment to the Company which was paid in the second quarter of 2025. There was no deferred revenue related to this agreement as of March 31, 2025.
Under the MorphoSys Agreement, the Company is eligible to receive up to $123.0 million in developmental, regulatory and sales milestones, as well as royalties on net sales, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement.
On November 3, 2023, the Company entered into a royalty sale agreement (the “Monjuvi Royalty Sale Agreement”) with OMERS, under which OMERS acquired the rights to certain royalties associated with the existing license relating to Incyte.
Under the MorphoSys Agreement, the Company recognized $2.8 million and $2.9 million of non-cash royalty revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the Company recorded $2.6 million in accounts receivable based on estimated royalties due under the arrangement and no deferred revenue. Payment of this receivable will be made directly to OMERS. See Note 6.
Vega Therapeutics, Inc. (“Vega”)
In October 2021, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement (the “Vega Agreement”) with Vega, granting Vega a non-exclusive license to its Xtend Fc technology. In March 2024, Vega initiated a Phase 1 study, triggering a $0.5 million milestone payment, which was recognized as revenue.
No revenue was recognized under the Vega Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Under the Vega Agreement, the Company is eligible to receive up to $30.0 million in developmental, regulatory and sales milestones, as well as royalties on net sales, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement.
Vir Biotechnology, Inc. (“Vir Bio”)
In 2019, the Company entered into a Patent License Agreement (the “Vir Bio Agreement”) with Vir Bio, granting a non-exclusive license to its Xtend technology for up to two targets. In March 2025, Vir Bio initiated a Phase 3 study for tobevibart, triggering a $2.0 million milestone payment to the Company, which was recorded as a receivable as of March 31, 2025.
In March 2020, the Company entered into a second Patent License Agreement (the “Second Vir Bio Agreement”) with Vir Bio, granting a non-exclusive license to its Xtend technology to extend the half-life of novel antibodies Vir Bio developed as potential treatments for patients with COVID-19, including sotrovimab. Under the terms of the Second Vir Bio Agreement, Vir Bio is responsible for all research, development, regulatory and commercial activities for the antibodies, and the Company is eligible to receive royalties on the net sales of approved products in the mid-single digit percentage range. Vir Bio and its marketing partner, GSK, began recording sales for sotrovimab beginning in June 2021.
The Company recognized nominal amounts of royalty revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and there is no deferred revenue related to the Vir Bio or Second Vir Bio Agreements.
Under the Vir Bio Agreement, the Company is eligible to receive up to $152.0 million in developmental, regulatory and sales milestones, as well as royalties on net sales, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement.

Net unrealized gains on marketable equity securities, recognized in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations, were $0.9 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
No impairment losses on marketable equity securities were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2025. An impairment loss of $20.7 million was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2024, based on an analysis performed under the measurement alternative for a security without a readily determinable fair value.
4. Fair Value of Measurements
The Company employs a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The Company’s valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value and the definition of the three levels (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3) of the fair value hierarchy are disclosed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Part II, “Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market disruption. In periods of market disruption, the ability to observe prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified from Level 1 to Level 2, or from Level 2 to Level 3. The Company recognizes transfers between levels at either the actual date of the event or a change in circumstances that caused the transfer. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any financial assets or financial liabilities based on Level 3 measurements.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company:

Patents, licenses and other intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Amortization expense was $0.3 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. None of these assets with definite useful lives are anticipated to have a residual value.
Patents, licenses and other intangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment and more frequently if potential impairment indicators exist. The Company recorded the asset impairment charges of $4.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, related to its decision in the first quarter of 2025 to pause further development of certain programs and prioritize resources toward advancing other pipeline programs. As a result, associated patents related to the paused programs were impaired. No such charges were recorded during the same period in 2024.
The following table presents the estimated future amortization expense related to definite-lived assets as of March 31, 2025:

6. Liabilities Related to the Sales of Future Royalties
Ultomiris Royalty Sale Agreement
On November 3, 2023, the Company and OMERS entered into the Ultomiris Royalty Sale Agreement. Pursuant to the Ultomiris Royalty Sale Agreement, OMERS acquired the rights to a portion of royalties and milestones earned after July 1, 2023 associated with the existing license relating to Ultomiris® (ravulizumab-cwvz) in exchange for an upfront payment of $192.5 million. Pursuant to the Ultomiris Royalty Sale Agreement and subject to the Company’s existing license with Alexion, OMERS acquired the right to receive: (i) 100% of royalties payable on past and future sales related to Ultomiris that occur from July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025; (ii) up to $35.0 million annually in royalties on future sales related to Ultomiris that occur from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028, with any royalties in excess of $35.0 million reverting to the Company; (iii) up to $12.0 million annually in royalties on future sales related to Ultomiris that occur from and after January 1, 2029, with any royalties in excess of $12.0 million reverting to the Company; and (iv) $18.0 million of a certain future sales based milestone payment pursuant to the existing license with Alexion.
Monjuvi Royalty Sale Agreement
On November 3, 2023, the Company and OMERS entered into the Monjuvi Royalty Sale Agreement. Pursuant to the Monjuvi Royalty Sale Agreement, OMERS acquired the rights to a portion of royalties earned after July 1, 2023 associated with the existing license relating to Monjuvi®/Minjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix) in exchange for an upfront payment of $22.5 million. Pursuant to the Monjuvi Royalty Sale Agreement and subject to the Company’s existing license with Incyte, OMERS acquired the right to receive up to $29.3 million in royalties earned after July 1, 2023 related to sales of Monjuvi/Minjuvi, with any royalties in excess of $29.3 million paid to OMERS reverting to the Company.
The Company has evaluated the terms of both Ultomiris and Monjuvi Royalty Sale Agreements and concluded, in accordance with the relevant accounting guidance, that the Company accounted for both transactions as debt and the proceeds recorded as liabilities related to the sale of future royalties on its consolidated balance sheets.
The Company records the obligations at their carrying value using the effective interest method. In order to amortize the liabilities related to the sale of future royalties, the Company utilizes the prospective method to estimate the future royalties to be paid by the Company to the counterparty over the life of the arrangement. Under the prospective method, a new effective interest rate is determined based on the revised estimate of remaining cash flows. The new rate is the discount rate that equates the present value of the revised estimate of remaining cash flows with the carrying amount of the debt, and it will be used to recognize non-cash interest expense for the remaining periods. The Company periodically assesses the amount and the timing of expected royalty payments using a combination of internal projections and forecasts from external sources.
The estimates of future net product sales (and resulting royalty payments) are based on key assumptions such as future sales forecasts and other significant events. To the extent such payments are greater or less than the Company’s initial estimates or the timing of such payments is different than its original estimates, the Company will prospectively adjust the amortization of the royalty financing obligations and the effective interest rate. As of March 31, 2025, the estimated effective interest rates were 23.0% and 17.5% for Ultomiris and Monjuvi Royalty Sale Agreements, respectively.

7. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be subject to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates each matter and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from a legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company records an accrual for the estimated loss. Because the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, significant judgment is required in assessing the likelihood of a loss and whether the amount is reasonably estimable. The Company’s assessments and any recorded accruals are based on information available at the time of evaluation. As additional information becomes available, the Company re-evaluates its estimates and may adjust recorded liabilities accordingly.
The Company is currently a party to an action initiated by Merus N.V. (“Merus”) in the District of Delaware alleging that the Company’s manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale and/or importation of common light chain antibodies and heterodimeric antibodies infringes certain claims of three Merus patents. Merus filed its complaint against the Company on August 5, 2024. Merus asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,944,695, 9,358,286 and 11,926,859 (collectively, the Asserted Patents). Merus seeks a judgment of patent infringement, an order enjoining the Company from infringing the Asserted Patents, a damages award (together with interest), a declaration of willful infringement, and a finding that this case is exceptional. On October 10, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Merus complaint with prejudice under Rule 12(b)(6), in which the Company argued that all of the activities accused of infringement are covered by the 35 U.S.C.§ 271(e)(1) safe harbor. Merus filed its response to the Company’s motion on October 31, 2024, and the Company replied to Merus’ response on November 14, 2024. Both Merus and the Company requested a hearing for the motion to dismiss. On February 11, 2025, the Company filed for inter partes review of Merus’ U.S. Patent Nos. 9,358,286 and 11,926,859 before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Appeal Board seeking a finding that certain claims of those patents are unpatentable. The Company believes it has strong defenses to Merus’ claims, including defenses of invalidity and/or non-infringement, but there is no guarantee that the Company will prevail.
Commitments
The Company is party to certain license agreements that obligate it to make future payments to third parties, which may include sublicense fees, royalties and milestone payments contingent upon the achievement of specified development and commercialization events. Because the occurrence, timing and amounts of these potential payments are not currently probable or reasonably estimable, they have not been recorded on the Company’s balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
In addition, the Company has entered into agreements with various third-party vendors for research, development and manufacturing services. These agreements generally provide for future payments contingent upon the vendors’ delivery of goods or performance of services. Such commitments are not recorded until the related goods or services are received.

On February 27, 2023, the Company filed an automatic universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-270030) as a well-known seasoned issuer as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which became effective upon filing (the "Shelf Registration Statement"). The Shelf Registration Statement allows the Company to offer an indeterminate amount of securities, including equity securities, debt securities, warrants, rights, units and depositary shares, from time to time as described in the Shelf Registration Statement. The specific terms of any offering under the Shelf Registration Statement will be established at the time of such offering. The Shelf Registration Statement will expire on February 27, 2026.
On February 27, 2023, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with SVB Securities LLC (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time through the Agent (the “ATM Offering”), shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million (the “ATM Shares”). Any ATM Shares offered and sold in the ATM Offering will be issued pursuant to the Company’s Shelf Registration Statement and the prospectus supplement filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) relating to the ATM Offering, dated February 27, 2023. As of March 31, 2025, no shares have been issued under the Sales Agreement.
On September 12, 2024, the Company completed an underwritten public offering pursuant to the Company’s Shelf Registration Statement. In the offering, the Company sold pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,088,888 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $17.99 per pre-funded warrant, for an aggregate value of approximately $55.6 million. The outstanding pre-funded warrants are exercisable at any time and do not have an expiration date.
9. Leases
Monrovia, California: The Company leases office and laboratory space in Monrovia, California, which lease expires in December 2025. The lease contains an option to renew for one additional five-year term. The Company has assessed that it is unlikely to exercise this option to renew and therefore, it is not included in right-of-use assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2025.
Pasadena, California: In June 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement for laboratory and office space in Pasadena, California, with a lease term through July 2035 and no renewal option. The lease includes two phases: Phase 1 commenced on August 1, 2022, and Phase 2 commenced on December 1, 2022.
The lease provides tenant improvement allowances of up to $17.0 million for Phase 1 and $3.3 million for Phase 2. In August 2022, the lease was amended to provide an additional $5.0 million in Phase 1 improvement allowance in exchange for an increase in rent.
San Diego, California: In August 2023, the Company entered into a sublease agreement for office space in San Diego, California, with a lease term from September 2023 through December 2027. As part of the sublease, the Company issued a $0.4 million letter of credit to the landlord, secured by a cash collateral account classified as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets. The amount of the letter of credit will decrease over the lease term.
The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The components of lease assets and liabilities along with their classification on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

10. Stock Based Compensation
In June 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and stockholders approved the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”), which became effective on June 14, 2023, and replaced the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). No additional awards may be granted under the 2013 Plan.
The 2023 Plan reserves 3,000,000 shares of common stock, plus any remaining shares available under the 2013 Plan as of the effective date. In addition, shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2013 Plan that expire, are forfeited, or otherwise terminate without being issued after June 14, 2023, will be added to the 2023 Plan share reserve. The 2023 Plan does not include an automatic annual share increase (an evergreen provision). As of March 31, 2025, the total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2023 Plan is 17,486,579.
In addition, the Company’s Board and stockholders approved the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which became effective on December 5, 2013. As of March 31, 2025, the total number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP is 945,106.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, both of which are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. See also “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Company Overview
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing engineered antibody therapeutics to treat patients with cancer and other serious diseases, who have unmet medical needs. We use our protein engineering capabilities to design new technologies and XmAb® drug candidates with improved properties. We advance these candidates into clinical-stage development, where we are conducting Phase 1 studies for a broad portfolio of programs, to determine which programs we advance into later stages of development and potentially commercialization, which programs we partner to access complementary resources to optimize development, and which programs we discontinue.
Our approach to protein design includes engineering Fc domains, the parts of antibodies that interact with multiple segments of the immune system and control antibody structure. The Fc domain is constant and interchangeable among antibodies, and our engineered Fc domains can be readily substituted for natural Fc domains.
We and our partners develop XmAb antibodies and other types of biotherapeutic drug candidates with improved properties and functionality, which can provide innovative approaches to potentially treating disease and clinical benefits over other treatment options. Applications of our protein engineering technologies include multi-specific antibodies that bind two or more different targets simultaneously, creating entirely new biological mechanisms of anti-disease activity, or enhancement of antibody performance by increasing immune inhibitory activity, improving cytotoxicity, extending circulating half-life and stabilizing novel protein structures. Three marketed XmAb medicines have been developed with our protein engineering technologies.
Refer to Part I, Item 1, “XmAb Bispecific Fc Domain and Multi-Specific Antibody Formats” and “Other XmAb Fc Domains” in the description of our business included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a discussion of our core Fc technology platforms.
XmAb Drug Candidates
Our modular XmAb bispecific technology and protein engineering capabilities enable us to rapidly advance multiple drug candidates into clinical development. We are currently enrolling Phase 1 clinical studies for three wholly owned candidates to treat patients with many different types of serious diseases: XmAb819, XmAb541 and XmAb942. Two additional drug candidates are planned to enter clinical development in 2025: plamotamab and XmAb657.
Oncology Programs
XmAb819 (ENPP3 x CD3): XmAb819 is a potential first-in-class, tumor-targeted, T-cell engaging XmAb 2+1 bispecific antibody in development for patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). XmAb819 is designed to engage the immune system and activate T cells for highly potent and targeted lysis of tumor cells expressing ENPP3, an antigen highly expressed on kidney cancers. ENPP3 is a differentially expressed target, with high level expression in RCC and low level expression on normal tissues. With two tumor-antigen binding domains and one T-cell binding domain, our XmAb 2+1 format is designed to enable antibodies to bind more avidly and selectively kill tumor cells with higher antigen density, potentially sparing normal cells.
We are conducting a Phase 1 study to evaluate XmAb819 in patients with advanced ccRCC. We previously announced that initial evidence of anti-tumor activity had been observed in dose-escalation cohorts in the ongoing Phase 1 study, including RECIST responses, and the duration of treatment for several patients in earlier dose cohorts had extended beyond one year. Cytokine release syndrome remained manageable, and the tolerability profile from recent dose cohorts, including no maximum tolerated dose being reached, supported continued dose escalation toward target dose levels.
XmAb541 (CLDN6 x CD3): XmAb541 is a potential first-in-class, tumor-targeted, T-cell engaging XmAb 2+1 bispecific antibody in development for patients with CLDN6 expressing tumor types including ovarian cancer. XmAb541 targets CLDN6, a tumor-associated antigen in ovarian cancer and other solid tumors, and CD3. The XmAb 2+1 multivalent format used in XmAb541 enables greater selectivity for CLDN6 over similar Claudin family members, such as CLDN9, CLDN3 and CLDN4. We are conducting a Phase 1 dose-escalation study, with characterization of target dose levels anticipated to begin during 2025.
XmAb808 (B7-H3 x CD28): XmAb808 is a tumor-selective, co-stimulatory CD28 bispecific antibody that binds to the broadly expressed tumor antigen B7-H3 and is constructed with the XmAb 2+1 multivalent format. Co-stimulation is required for T cells to achieve full activation, and targeted CD28 bispecific antibodies may provide conditional co-stimulation of T cells when the antibodies are bound to tumor cells. Enrollment in the final cohort of a Phase 1 dose-escalation study of XmAb808 in combination with pembrolizumab, an anti-PD1 antibody, is complete. Data from the study are expected to inform future development decisions for the program. Potential combination with CD3 T-cell engaging bispecific antibodies is being evaluated.
Autoimmune Disease Programs
XmAb942 (Xtend TL1A): XmAb942 is a high-potency, extended half-life, investigational anti-TL1A antibody in clinical development for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). The first generation of anti-TL1A antibodies, designed to block the interaction between the DR3 receptor and its ligand TL1A, have reduced disease activity in patients with UC and CD in multiple clinical studies. We announced interim results from a Phase 1 dose-escalation study in healthy volunteers in April 2025.
The results indicate that XmAb942 was well tolerated at single and multiple doses. Pharmacokinetic analysis of the single dose cohorts estimated a human half-life of greater than 71 days, which supports a 12-week dosing interval during maintenance treatment. We expect to start a Phase 2b study of XmAb942 in UC, the XENITH-UC Study, in the second half of 2025. XENITH-UC will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in patients with moderate-to-severe UC, whose disease has progressed after at least one conventional or advanced therapy.
Plamotamab (CD20 x CD3): Plamotamab is a B-cell depleting bispecific T-cell engager that targets CD20, a target receptor on B cells, and CD3. We plan to initiate a Phase 1b/2a proof-of-concept study for plamotamab in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the first half of 2025. The Phase 1b portion of the study will select a priming and step-up dose regimen based on the regimen established in oncology, and will assess the initial safety, efficacy and biomarkers of plamotamab in patients with RA. The selected dose regimen will then be evaluated in the randomized Phase 2a portion, with efficacy determined at week 12. Results from the previously conducted Phase 1 study in hematologic cancers showed favorable tolerability and comparable preliminary efficacy data, when cross compared to results from studies of a competitor molecule within the class, with similar patient baseline characteristics. Data demonstrating deep peripheral B-cell depletion observed in patients with lymphoma were presented at a medical meeting in December 2024. Based on these clinical outcomes, significant B-cell depletion, and the emergent biology supportive of B-cell targeted T-cell engagers for the treatment of patients with autoimmune diseases, we plan to evaluate plamotamab in RA, in which patients progressed through prior standard of care treatment.
XmAb657 (CD19 x CD3): We have leveraged our XmAb protein engineering platforms to create XmAb657, a potent, potentially long-acting CD19 x CD3 bispecific antibody, utilizing the XmAb 2+1 bispecific antibody format and Xtend Fc technology. In non-human primate studies, a single dose of XmAb657 deeply reduced B cells by over 99.98% in the peripheral compartment, bone marrow and lymph nodes, which was sustained for at least 28 days. Half-life was estimated to be 15 days, which indicates a potential for durable B-cell depletion in clinical studies. XmAb657 was well tolerated preclinically, with no clinical signs of cytokine release syndrome. We plan to initiate a first-in-human study during the second half of 2025.
XmAb TL1A x IL-23: We are conducting lead selection studies and have begun good manufacturing practice (GMP) production campaigns for a TL1A x IL-23p19 bispecific antibody, which targets two important inflammatory pathways for autoimmune and inflammatory disease, while avoiding the complexities of dosing and formulary access for two separate TL1A and IL23 targeted drugs. In vitro studies show that several lead candidates match the target inhibition potency of monospecific antibodies to these targets, but in a bispecific format. We anticipate initiating first-in-human studies during 2026.
Collaborations, Partnerships and Licensing Arrangements
A key part of our business strategy is to leverage our protein engineering capabilities, XmAb Fc domains and drug candidates with partnerships, collaborations and licenses. Through these arrangements we generate revenues in the form of upfront payments, milestone payments and royalties. For partnerships for our drug candidates, we aim to retain a major economic interest in the form of keeping major geographic commercial rights; profit-sharing; co-development options; and the right to conduct studies with drug candidates developed in the collaboration. The types of arrangements that we have entered into with partners include product licenses, novel bispecific antibody collaborations, technology licensing agreements and strategic collaborations.
Product Licenses
Product licenses are arrangements in which we have internally developed drug candidates and, based on a strategic review, licensed partial or full rights to third parties to continue development and potential commercialization. We seek partners that can provide infrastructure and resources to successfully develop our drug candidates, have a track record of successfully developing and commercializing medicines, or have a portfolio of development-stage candidates and commercialized medicines that could potentially be developed in rational combinations with our drug candidates.
The FDA approved Monjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix) under accelerated approval in July 2020. Monjuvi is a CD19-directed cytolytic antibody indicated in combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma, and who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s). In August 2021, the European Commission granted conditional marketing authorization for Minjuvi® (tafasitamab) in combination with lenalidomide, followed by tafasitamab monotherapy, for the treatment of adult patients with DLBCL who are not eligible for ASCT. In December 2024, Incyte announced positive full results from the pivotal study of tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab in relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma and submitted a supplemental Biologics License Application, which was accepted in February 2025.
Tafasitamab was created and initially developed by us. Tafasitamab is marketed by Incyte under the brand name Monjuvi in the U.S. and under the brand name Minjuvi in Europe and Canada. Incyte has exclusive commercialization rights to tafasitamab outside the U.S. In February 2024, Incyte acquired exclusive global development and commercialization rights to tafasitamab from MorphoSys AG. We earned a $12.5 million regulatory milestone payment and $2.8 million in estimated non-cash royalties from Incyte for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Technology License Agreements
We enter into technology licensing agreements in which we license access to one or more of our XmAb Fc domains on a restricted basis, typically to an XmAb Cytotoxic Fc Domain and/or the Xtend Fc Domain. Our partners are responsible for all research, development and commercialization activities of the drug candidates. The plug-and-play nature of XmAb technologies allows us to license access to our platforms with limited or no internal research and development activities.
Alexion’s Ultomiris® uses Xtend Fc technology for longer half-life. Ultomiris has received marketing authorizations in global markets for the treatment of patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), for certain patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), for certain patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) and for certain patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Alexion is also evaluating Ultomiris in a broad development program across additional hematology, nephrology and neurology indications. We earned a total of $15.5 million in estimated non-cash royalties from Alexion for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
In August 2019, we entered into an agreement with Vir Biotechnology, Inc., in which we provided Vir Bio a non-exclusive license to our Xtend technology for two targets in infectious disease. Tobevibart is currently in clinical development for the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis delta (CHD) and patients with chronic hepatitis B. Vir Bio initiated a Phase 3 study of tobevibart in combination with a small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) in people living with CHD in March 2025. We earned a $2.0 million development milestone payment from Vir Bio for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 2, Collaboration and Licensing Agreements, of the Notes to consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of the key terms of our arrangements.
Discontinued Programs
Vudalimab (PD-1 x CTLA-4): Vudalimab is a bispecific antibody that targets PD-1 and CTLA-4, two immune checkpoint receptors, to selectively activate the tumor microenvironment. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we completed enrollment in two studies of vudalimab in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and in Part 1 of a study in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. We have previously disclosed that further development of vudalimab has been paused.
Our patent estate, on a worldwide basis, includes issued patents and pending patent applications, with claims directed to XmAb Fc domains, all of our clinical and preclinical stage product candidates and our computational protein design methods and platforms.
Since we commenced active operations in 1998, we have devoted substantially all our resources to staffing our Company, business planning, raising capital, developing our technology platforms, identifying potential product candidates, undertaking preclinical and Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling studies, and conducting clinical trials. We have no internally developed products approved for commercial sale and have not generated any revenues from our own product sales, and we continue to incur significant research and development expenses and other expenses related to our ongoing operations. To date, we have funded our operations primarily through the sale of stock and from payments generated from our product development partnerships and licensing arrangements.
As of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $752.5 million. Substantially all of the operating losses that we have incurred resulted from expenses incurred in connection with our product candidate development programs, our research activities and general and administrative costs associated with our operations.

Revenues
Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $32.7 million and $16.0 million, respectively, and was primarily driven by the revenue recognition associated with Alexion and Incyte license agreements as discussed below. See Note 2 — Collaboration and Licensing Agreements of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Part I, “Item 1. Financial Statements” for more information on revenue recognized under the collaboration and license agreements.
Alexion: In January 2013, we entered into an Option and License Agreement (the “Alexion Agreement”) with Alexion. Under the terms of the Alexion Agreement, we granted to Alexion an exclusive research license, with limited sublicensing rights, to make and use our Xtend technology to evaluate and advance compounds. Alexion exercised its rights to one target program, ALXN1210, which is now marketed as Ultomiris®.
Under the Alexion Agreement, we recognized $15.5 million and $12.6 million of non-cash royalty revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Incyte: In June 2010, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with MorphoSys AG, which was subsequently amended in March 2012, 2020 and 2024 (as amended, the Morphosys Agreement). The MorphoSys Agreement provides MorphoSys AG with an exclusive worldwide license to our patents and know-how to research, develop, and commercialize our XmAb5574 product candidate (subsequently renamed MOR208 and tafasitamab) with the right to sublicense under certain conditions. If certain developmental, regulatory and sales milestones are achieved, we are eligible to receive future milestone payments and royalties. In February 2024, Incyte assumed all of MorphoSys AG’s right, title and interest under the MorphoSys Agreement. Under this agreement, originally executed in June 2010, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement in June 2010 with MorphoSys AG and acquired exclusive global development and commercialization rights to tafasitamab.
In February 2025, the FDA accepted Incyte’s submission of a supplemental biologics license application, triggering a $12.5 million milestone payment to us, which was paid in the second quarter of 2025.
Under the MorphoSys Agreement, we recognized $2.8 million and $2.9 million of non-cash royalty revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses
R&D expenses are related to our research and development efforts and related candidate costs, which are comprised primarily of outsourced costs related to the manufacturing of clinical supplies, toxicity/efficacy studies and clinical trial expenses. Internal costs primarily relate to drug discovery and development operations at our research facilities in California, including facility costs and laboratory-related expenses.
The following tables summarize our research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

R&D expenses increased by $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 over the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher spending on our programs, including XmAb819, XmAb657, and XmAb541, partially offset by reduced spending on other programs and wind-down costs associated with terminated programs.

General and administrative expenses increased by $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 over the same period in 2024 primarily due to higher spending on professional fees.
Other Expense
Other expense primarily consists of interest income and expense, as well as asset impairment charges. Other expense was $5.1 million and $19.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change was primarily due to $20.7 million in impairment charges recognized in the first quarter of 2024 related to an equity interest in a private biotechnology company.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash flow used in operating activities was $16.2 million, which was primarily due to the ongoing expenses related to our research and development programs and general and administrative expenses. The change was primarily attributable to the $30.0 million milestone payment received from Amgen, Inc. during the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was recognized as revenue in December 2024. Cash provided by investing activities amounted to $13.7 million, primarily reflecting proceeds of $119.0 million from maturities of marketable securities, offset by purchases of marketable securities totaling $103.9 million. Cash provided by financing activities of $1.2 million was primarily related to cash received from stock option exercises, offset by payment to acquire non-controlling interest.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash flow used in operating activities was $56.9 million, which was primarily due to the ongoing expenses related to our research and development programs and general and administrative expenses. Cash provided by investing activities amounted to $32.3 million, primarily reflecting proceeds of $169.9 million from sales and maturities of marketable securities, offset by purchases of marketable securities totaling $136.5 million. Cash provided by financing activities of $1.8 million was primarily related to cash received from stock option exercises.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations through private placements of equity securities, the issuance of convertible notes, public offerings of common stock, and payments received from product development partnerships and licensing arrangements.
As of March 31, 2025, we had $693.5 million of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable debt securities compared to $706.7 million as of December 31, 2024.
On February 27, 2023, we entered into an open market sale agreement (the “Sales Agreement”), pursuant to which we may, from time to time, offer and sell up to $200.0 million in shares of our common stock through SVB Securities LLC, acting as the sales agent. As of March 31, 2025, no shares have been issued under the Sales Agreement.
We expect to continue receiving payments from our collaborators for research and development services rendered, as well as potential additional milestone, opt-in, contingent payments and royalties. The receipt of future milestone and contingent payments is dependent on the achievement of certain research and development milestones by us or our partners and, as such, remains uncertain at this time.
We believe our current financial resources are sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Funding Requirements
We have not generated any revenue from the sale of products developed by us to date and do not expect to do so until we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize one or more of our internal product development candidates. As we are currently in the clinical stage of development, it will be some time before we expect to achieve this, and it is uncertain that we ever will commercialize one or more of our internal product development candidates. We expect that we will continue to increase our operating expenses in connection with ongoing, and additional clinical and preclinical development of product candidates in our pipeline and also development candidates that we are co-developing with our partners.
Although it is difficult to predict our funding requirements, based upon our current operating plan, we expect that our existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and certain potential milestone payments will fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2028.
We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong which would cause us to use our capital resources sooner than we currently expect.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
There were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to our specific contractual obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Critical Accounting Policies
For a discussion of our material changes in critical accounting policies, see “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There have been no material changes in the Company’s exposure to market risk from that described in “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)- 15(e) and 15(d)- 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of March 31, 2025, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weakness related to the design of controls related to its review of the accounting treatment of the proceeds from the sale of future royalties pursuant to the Ultomiris Royalty Sale Agreement as part of non-routine transactions and the design of controls related to the evaluation of certain tax legislation. These material weaknesses resulted in the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements for each of the first three quarters of 2024. Additionally, these material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of the account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or timely detected.
Management’s Plan to Remediate the Material Weaknesses
The Company’s management is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment. In response to the material weaknesses identified above, management intends to implement comprehensive remediation actions in a timely manner, under the appropriate oversight of the Audit Committee. These actions to remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting include:
(1) Material weakness related to the proceeds from the sale of future royalties
•implementing a more rigorous and structured analysis of non-routine transactions;
•engaging qualified third-party advisors to assist with highly technical and complex accounting transactions; and
•enhancing management’s review of the qualifications and work performed by third-party advisors, specifically in connection with the application of accounting guidance for complex, non-routine transactions.
(2) Material weakness related to the evaluation of certain tax legislation
•enhancing management’s review of the qualifications and work performed by third-party advisors in connection with the review and application of tax advice;
•conducting quarterly reviews of income tax legislative changes and their potential impact on the financial statements in collaboration with tax experts.
The Company believes that the actions outlined above, when fully implemented, will remediate the identified material weaknesses. However, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively. Management may also determine that additional measures are necessary to remediate the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which could require additional time for implementation and evaluation.
Management will continue to assess the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and remains committed to remediating the material weaknesses as expeditiously as possible. Management also provides periodic updates on the progress and status of the remediation efforts to the Audit Committee.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the changes associated with the material weakness remediation procedures described above, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company regularly evaluates its controls and procedures and makes improvements in the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies which may be identified during this process.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
For a discussion of material pending legal proceedings, please read Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I, “Financial Statements (Unaudited),” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated into this item by reference.
From time to time, the Company may be subject to various litigation and related matters arising in the ordinary course of business. We are currently a party to an action initiated by Merus N.V. (“Merus”) in the District of Delaware alleging that our manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale, and/or importation of common light chain antibodies and heterodimeric antibodies infringes certain claims of three Merus patents. Merus filed its complaint against us on August 5, 2024. Merus asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,944,695, 9,358,286 and 11,926,859 (collectively, the Asserted Patents). Merus seeks a judgment of patent infringement, an order enjoining us from infringing the Asserted Patents, a damages award (together with interest), a declaration of willful infringement and a finding that this case is exceptional. On October 10, 2024, we filed a motion to dismiss the Merus complaint with prejudice under Rule 12(b)(6), in which we argued that all of the activities accused of infringement are covered by the 35 U.S.C.§ 271(e)(1) safe harbor. Merus filed its response to our motion on October 31, 2024, and we replied to Merus’ response on November 14, 2024. Both Merus and we requested a hearing for the motion to dismiss. On February 11, 2025, we filed for inter partes review of Merus’ U.S. Patent Nos. 9,358,286 and 11,926,859 before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Appeal Board seeking a finding that certain claims of those patents are unpatentable. We believe we have strong defenses to Merus’ claims, including defenses of invalidity and/or non-infringement, but there is no guarantee that we will prevail.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Investing in the Company’s securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which could materially affect the Company’s business, financial position, or future results of operations. See also “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Below are material changes to our risk factors since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Risks Related to Our Unique and Specific Business Operations as a Small Biotechnology Company
Unfavorable global economic or political conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our business is susceptible to general conditions in the global economy and in the global financial markets. A global financial crisis or a global or regional political disruption could cause extreme volatility in the capital and credit markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn, including a recession or depression resulting from the political disruption, could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our current or future product candidates, if approved, and our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. A weak or declining economy or political disruption could also strain our manufacturers or suppliers, possibly resulting in supply disruption, or cause our customers to delay making payments for our potential drugs, if approved.
The U.S. has substantially departed from prior U.S. government international trade policy and has commenced activities to renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements and treaties with foreign countries. In addition, the U.S. has initiated or is considering imposing tariffs on certain foreign goods. Related to this action, certain foreign governments, including China, have instituted or are considering imposing reciprocal tariffs on certain U.S. goods. It remains unclear what the U.S. or foreign governments will or will not do with respect to tariffs or other international trade agreements and policies. A trade war or other governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements or policies has the potential to disrupt our research activities, increase the cost of materials purchased to develop our products, and/or to affect the United States or global economy or certain sectors thereof.
The foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and we cannot anticipate all of the ways in which the political or economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.
Disruptions at the FDA and other government agencies caused by changing priorities or funding shortages could hinder their ability to hire, retain or deploy key leadership and other personnel, prevent new or modified products from being developed, reviewed, approved or commercialized in a timely manner or at all, which could negatively impact our business.
The ability of the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities to review and approve new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including reductions in force or hiring freezes, government budget and funding levels, statutory, regulatory, and policy changes, the FDA’s or foreign regulatory authorities’ ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept the payment of user fees, and other events that may otherwise affect the FDA’s or foreign regulatory authorities’ ability to perform routine functions, including uncertainty associated with the new presidential administration in the United States. Average review times at the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities have fluctuated in recent years as a result. In addition, government funding of other government agencies that fund research and development activities is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable. Disruptions at the FDA may also slow the time necessary for new drugs, medical devices and biologics or modifications to approved drugs and biologics to be reviewed and/or approved by necessary government agencies, which would adversely affect our business. For example, over the last several years, the U.S. government has shut down several times and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, have had to furlough critical FDA employees and stop critical activities. If a prolonged government shutdown occurs it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA or other regulatory authorities to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

As detailed below, you have 21 days to consider this Agreement and have the right to consult with an attorney before signing.
1.Separation. Your status as an employee of the Company terminates effective as of 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on April 19, 2024 (the “Separation Date”).
2.Severance Payment. Provided that this Agreement becomes effective in accordance with Section 13 hereof and that you satisfy the requirements of Sections 8, 9, 10, and 14 hereof, in exchange for your covenants and releases in this Agreement, the Company will provide you with a single gross lump sum payment of $530,891.51, less required withholdings and deductions for federal, state, and local taxes (the “Severance Payment”) which is equivalent to 12 months base salary in the amount of $468,000.00 and pro-rated bonus for service from January 1, 2024 through termination date in the amount of $62,891.51 per the terms of your severance agreement dated May 26, 2016. The Severance Payment is contingent upon your acceptance of and full compliance with all provisions of this Agreement, and it will be processed and paid to you in the Company’s first standard payroll cycle following the Effective Date of this Agreement. The Severance Payment shall also be delivered to you via direct deposit, and the Company will issue a Form W-2 to you for this amount.
3.Cobra Premiums. If you properly and timely elect continued coverage under the Company’s medical, vision, and/or dental insurance plans in accordance with the continuation requirements of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company will pay for your COBRA premiums necessary to continue your coverage (including coverage for eligible dependents, if applicable) (“COBRA Premiums”) through the period (the “COBRA Premium Period”) starting on the Separation Date and ending on the earliest to occur of: (i) May 31, 2025; (ii) the date you and your eligible dependents, if applicable become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer; or (iii) the date you cease to be eligible for COBRAmsc continuation coverage for any reason, including plan termination. In the event you become covered under another employer’s group health plan or otherwise cease to be eligible for COBRA during the COBRA Premium Period, you must immediately notify the Company of such event at HR@xencor.com.
4.Accrued Salary and Vacation. On the Separation Date, the Company shall pay you all accrued salary and all accrued and unused vacation, if any, earned through the Separation Date, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings, and all contributions to your short-term disability benefits accrued through the Separation Date.

6.Other Compensation or Benefits. You expressly understand and agree that absent this Agreement, you would not otherwise be entitled to the consideration specified in this Agreement, including but not limited to the Extended Post-Separation Exercise Period. Further, by signing this Agreement, you agree that you are not entitled to any other payments, benefits and/or other consideration from the Company that are not specifically listed in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you hereby expressly waive any right or Claim (as defined in paragraph 12 of this Agreement) that you may have or assert to employment and/or reinstatement to employment, and/or to payment for backpay, front pay, interest, equity, bonuses, damages, benefits, outplacement, severance pay, vacation payments, PTO payments, sick pay, and/or attorneys’ fees, except for those qualified retirement benefits in which you have vested rights under the terms of the applicable plan and applicable law.

You agree that, no later than thirty (30) days following the Separation Date, you will submit your final documented employee expense reimbursement statement reflecting all business expenses you incurred through the Separation Date, if any, for which you seek reimbursement, and the Company agrees to reimburse all reasonable and appropriate expenses pursuant to its policies and practices.
8.Return of Company Property. You hereby represent that you will, not later than the Separation Date, perform a good faith search for, and return to the Company, all Company documents (and all copies thereof) and other Company property in your possession or control, including, but not limited to, Company files, correspondence, memoranda, notes, notebooks, drawings, books and records, plans, forecasts, reports, proposals, studies, agreements, financial information, personnel information, sales and marketing information, research and development information, systems information, specifications, computer-recorded information, tangible property and equipment, credit cards, entry cards, identification badges and keys, and any materials of any kind that contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information of the Company (and all reproductions thereof in whole or in part) (“Company Property”); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to information and documentation you received solely in your capacity as a participant in any employee benefit plan that the Company sponsors.
9.Non-disparagement; Communication. You shall not disparage the Company or its officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents in any manner likely to be harmful to its or their business, business reputation or personal reputation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may respond accurately and fully to any question, inquiry or request for information when required by legal process, or, in the case of the Company standard corporate reporting obligations, rules, or regulations. Further, nothing in this Agreement prevents you from discussing or disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that you have reason to believe is unlawful. The Company agrees to provide you a neutral employment reference, whereby in response to any reference request, the Company will only confirm your job title and dates of employment.
10.Cooperation and Assistance. You agree that you will not voluntarily provide assistance, information, encouragement, or advice, directly or indirectly (including through agents or attorneys), to any non-governmental person or entity in connection with any claim by or against the Company, nor shall you induce or encourage any person or entity to do so. The foregoing sentence shall not prohibit you from testifying truthfully under subpoena or from communicating with Government Agencies (as defined in Section 11 below), or from discussing or disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that you have reason to believe is unlawful. You warrant that you have not previously provided assistance, information, encouragement, or advice, directly or indirectly, to any non-governmental person or entity in connection with any claim by or against the Company. You agree to provide (voluntarily and without legal compulsion) prompt cooperation and accurate and complete information to the Company in the event of litigation involving the Company or its officers or directors and to respect and preserve all privileges held by or available to the Company.
11.Release. In exchange for the consideration provided to you by this Agreement that you are not otherwise entitled to receive, you hereby generally, completely, and irrevocably release, on behalf of yourself and your agents, assignees, successors, heirs, executors, administrators, beneficiaries, and trustees, the Company and its respective current and former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, members, partners, agents, attorneys, predecessors, successors, parent and subsidiary entities, insurers, consultants, advisors, attorneys, employment benefit plans, plan administrators, affiliates, related parties, and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all claims, causes of action, liabilities, statutory penalties, indemnities, allegations, demands, damages, attorneys’ fees, and obligations, both known and unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, disclosed or undisclosed, that arise out of or are in any way related to events, acts, conduct, or omissions occurring prior to your signing this Agreement. This general release includes, but is not limited to: (1) all claims arising out of or in any way related to your employment with the Company or the termination of that employment; (2) all claims related to your compensation or benefits from the Company, including, but not limited to, salary, bonuses, commissions, vacation pay, expense reimbursements, severance pay, fringe benefits, stock, stock options, or any other ownership interests in the Company; (3) all claims for breach of contract, wrongful termination, and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (4) all tort claims, including, but not limited to, claims for fraud, defamation, emotional distress, and discharge in violation of public policy; and (5) all federal, state, and local statutory claims, including, but not limited to, claims for discrimination, harassment, retaliation, attorneys’ fees, or other claims arising under the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended), and the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (as amended) (“ADEA”), and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. The claims described above that you are releasing do not include: (1) any rights which cannot be waived as a matter of law; (2) any claims arising from breach of this Agreement by the Company; (3) any rights or claims for indemnification you may have pursuant to any written indemnification agreement with the Company to which you are a party, the Company’s bylaws, or applicable law; (4) any rights or claims to benefits under Company benefit plans or programs to which you have a vested or non-forfeitable right at the time of your separation; or (6) any rights or claims to insurance coverage under insurance policies maintained by the Company for directors, executives, and/or officers. Nothing in this Agreement prevents you from filing a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (collectively, the “Government Agencies”), or from discussing the terms and conditions of your employment with others to the extent expressly permitted by Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act. You understand this Agreement does not limit your ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. While this Agreement does not limit your right to receive an award for information provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission, you understand and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, you are otherwise waiving any and all rights you may have to individual relief based on any claims that you have released and any rights you have waived by signing this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, you acknowledge that even though you are waiving a broad range of potential claims hereunder, there was no claim of sexual harassment, hostile work environment or discrimination.
12.Civil Code Section 1542 waiver. You also acknowledge that you have read and understand Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” You hereby expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to any claims you may have against the Company.
13.ADEA Waiver and Period for Acceptance. You acknowledge that you are knowingly and voluntarily waiving and releasing any rights you may have under ADEA, and that the consideration given for the waiver and release in the preceding paragraph is in addition to anything of value to which you were already entitled. You further acknowledge that you have been advised by this writing that: (a) your waiver and release do not apply to any rights or claims that may arise after the execution date of this Agreement; (b) you have the right to and should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement.; (c) you have twenty-one (21) days after the date of your receipt of this Agreement to consider this Agreement (although you may choose to voluntarily execute this Agreement earlier); (d) you have seven (7) days following the execution of this Agreement by you to revoke the Agreement; and (e) this Agreement will not be effective until the date upon which the revocation period has expired without your having earlier revoked (the “Effective Date”), and you will not receive the benefits specified by this Agreement unless and until it becomes effective.
14.Confidentiality. The provisions of this Agreement shall be held in strictest confidence by you and shall not be publicized or disclosed in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that: (a) you may disclose this Agreement in confidence to your immediate family; (b) you may disclose this Agreement in confidence to your attorneys, accountants, auditors, tax preparers, and financial advisors; and (c) you may disclose this Agreement insofar as such disclosure may be necessary to enforce its terms or as otherwise required by law. Your breach of the foregoing agreements and acknowledgments will result in unique and special harm to the Company and therefore the Company shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have for a breach of this Agreement. You also acknowledge and agree that you remain bound by the terms of the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (“PIIA”) between you and the Company. Nothing in this Agreement prevents you from discussing or disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that you have reason to believe is unlawful.
15.Disputes. Any dispute or controversy between you and the Company, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach of this Agreement, your employment or consulting to the Company, or otherwise, shall be settled by binding arbitration conducted by and before a single arbitrator in San Diego, California, or in the county where you were last employed by the Company, administered by JAMS in accordance with its Employment Arbitration Rules (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Both you and the Company hereby waive the right to a trial by jury or judge, or by administrative proceeding, for any covered claim or dispute. To the extent the JAMS Rules conflict with any provision or aspect of this Agreement, this Agreement shall control. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could order or grant, including, without limitation, the issuance of an injunction. However, either party may, without inconsistency with this arbitration provision, apply to any court having jurisdiction over such dispute or controversy and seek interim provisional, injunctive or other equitable relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Except as necessary in court proceedings to enforce this arbitration provision or an award rendered hereunder, or to obtain interim relief, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company and you. This Agreement is made under the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Sections 1-14) (“FAA”) and will be construed and governed accordingly. It is the parties’ intention that both the procedural and the substantive provisions of the FAA shall apply. Questions of arbitrability (that is whether an issue is subject to arbitration under this agreement) shall be decided by the arbitrator. Likewise, procedural questions which grow out of the dispute and bear on the final disposition are also matters for the arbitrator. However, where a party already has initiated a judicial proceeding, a court may decide procedural questions that grow out of the dispute and bear on the final disposition of the matter. Each party shall bear its or his costs and expenses in any arbitration hereunder and one-half of the arbitrator’s fees and costs; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall have the discretion to award the prevailing party reimbursement of its or his reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, unless such award is prohibited by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and the Company shall each have the right to resolve any dispute or cause of action involving trade secrets, proprietary information, or intellectual property (including, without limitation, inventions assignment rights, and rights under patent, trademark, or copyright law) by court action instead of arbitration. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims, disputes, or causes of action under this Agreement must be brought in an individual capacity, and shall not be brought as a plaintiff (or claimant) or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, nor joined or consolidated with the claims of any other person or entity. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person or entity, and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. To the extent the first or second sentences of this paragraph are found to violate applicable law or are prohibited by or unenforceable under applicable law, any claim(s) alleged or brought in a representative capacity shall proceed in a court of law rather than by arbitration. Prior to either party initiating a demand for arbitration, it is agreed that the parties will attempt to resolve any such dispute by attending one day of non-binding mediation with a mutually agreeable mediator.
16.No Admissions. You understand and agree that the promises and payments in consideration for this Agreement shall not be construed to be an admission of any wrongdoing, liability, or other legal obligation by the Company, the other Releasees, or you.
17.Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), including the exceptions thereto, and shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, payments provided under this Agreement may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Section 409A or an applicable exemption. Any payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Section 409A either as a separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service, as a short-term deferral, or as a settlement payment pursuant to a bona fide legal dispute shall be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. For purposes of Section 409A, any installment payments provided under this Agreement shall each be treated as a separate payment. To the extent required under Section 409A, any payments to be made under this Agreement in connection with a termination of employment shall only be made if such termination constitutes a “separation from service” under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest, or other expenses that may be incurred by you on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.
18.Miscellaneous. This Agreement, together with the PIIA, constitutes the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between you and the Company with regard to this subject matter and expressly supersedes and terminates the severance agreement between you and the Company dated May 26, 2016. It is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation, written or oral, other than those expressly contained herein, and it supersedes any other such promises, warranties or representations. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in a writing signed by both you and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. This Agreement will bind the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of both you and the Company, and inure to the benefit of both you and the Company, their heirs, successors and assigns. The failure to enforce any breach of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. For purposes of construing this Agreement, any ambiguities shall not be construed against either party as the drafter. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, this determination will not affect any other provision of this Agreement and the provision in question will be modified so as to be rendered enforceable in a manner consistent with the intent of the parties insofar as possible. This Agreement will be deemed to have been entered into and will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California as applied to contracts made and to be performed entirely within California. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts or with facsimile signatures, which shall be deemed equivalent to originals.
If this Agreement is acceptable to you, please sign below and return one original to me. By signing this Agreement, you also state the following: (a) you have read it and understand all of its terms––including the fact that you are not waiving or releasing any rights or claims that may arise after its execution; (b) you agree with everything in the Agreement; and (c) you are executing this Agreement, including the waiver and release, knowingly and voluntarily in exchange for good and valuable consideration in addition to anything else of value to which you are otherwise entitled.
The Company’s offer contained herein will automatically expire if the Company has not received from you the fully signed Agreement within twenty-one (21) days after your receipt of this Agreement.
Sincerely,
Xencor, Inc.
