SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) of Oklo Inc. (“Oklo,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us”) contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and include, without limitation, statements concerning our business strategy, future revenues, market growth, capital requirements, product introductions, expansion plans and the adequacy of our funding. Other statements contained in this Quarterly Report that are not historical facts are also forward-looking statements. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “continue,” “might,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “goal,” “would,” “commit” and other stylistic variants denoting forward-looking statements.

We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this Quarterly Report, or that we may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on information currently available, as well as our beliefs and assumptions. The actual outcome related to forward-looking statements will be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors that are beyond our control or ability to predict. Although we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, they are not guarantees of future performance, and some will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, our actual future results can be expected to differ from our expectations, and those differences may be material. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based only on known results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. Forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to a variety of assumptions, risks, and uncertainties that could cause actual results or performance to differ materially from the results projected. Many of these risks and uncertainties cannot be controlled by us. Factors that may cause our actual decisions or results to differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements include, among other things: risks related to the development and deployment of Oklo’s powerhouses, fuel fabrication and fuel recycling facilities, and radioisotope production activities; the risk that Oklo is pursuing an emerging market with no commercial project operating and regulatory uncertainties; risks related to acquisitions, divestitures, or joint ventures we may engage in; the need for financing to construct plants, which remain subject to market, financial, political, and legal conditions; risks related to an inability to raise additional capital to support our business and sustain our growth on favorable terms; the effects of competition; risks related to accessing high-assay low-enriched uranium (“HALEU”), plutonium, and other fuels (including recycled fuels) at acceptable costs and under acceptable timelines; risks related to our supply chain; risks related to power purchase agreements or other commercial agreements; risks related to human capital; risks related to our intellectual property; risks related to cybersecurity and data privacy; changes in applicable laws or regulations, including tariffs; the outcome of any government and regulatory proceedings and investigations and inquiries; and other factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as updated by this Quarterly Report and any other documents we have subsequently filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The discussion in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

This Quarterly Report and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report, except as may be required by law.

The Aurora product line is designed to produce between 15 and 75 megawatts of electricity (“MWe”) on fresh, recycled, or down-blended nuclear fuel. Advanced fission technology built on a deep history of successful operation, first demonstrated by the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (“EBR-II”), which sold and supplied power to the grid and showed effective used nuclear fuel recycling capabilities over 30 years of operation. The Company is also commercializing nuclear fuel recycling and fuel fabrication technology that can convert used nuclear fuel and other nuclear materials into usable fuel for its reactors, as well as the production of radioisotopes. The Company’s radioisotope activities are intended to support domestic supply for medical, industrial, space, defense, and other critical applications. The Company is pursuing these activities through dedicated isotope production and processing capabilities, which may also benefit from radioisotope co-products generated through its fuel recycling and reactor platform.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and marketable debt securities were $2,536,898. The Company continues to incur significant operating losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company had a net loss of $33,065, loss from operations of $51,249, and net cash used in operating activities of $17,867. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $273,837.

The Company expects to utilize its existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable debt securities to fund construction of its powerhouses, fuel and radioisotope businesses, operations, and growth plans and believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable debt securities will be sufficient to fund its operations for the one-year period following the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Articles 8 and 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, it does not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The information herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed on March 17, 2026. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented.
Segment Information

The Company has viewed its financial information on an aggregate basis for the purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating the Company’s resources. The Company’s principal business consists primarily of research and development and deployment activities for its planned or in-process powerhouses, nuclear fuel recycling and fuel fabrication facilities, and its radioisotope production facilities.
9

Accordingly, the Company has determined that it conducts its business in one operating and one reportable segment. For more information about the Company’s single operating and reportable segment, see Note 12—Segment Information.
Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the valuation of the operating lease liabilities and operating right-of-use assets, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and the fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions are based on current and expected economic conditions, historical data, and experience available at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Risk and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to continuing risks and uncertainties amidst a range of supply chain, construction, and design complexities and in connection with the market dynamics around fuel costs and the current macroeconomic environment, including as a result of inflation, instability in the global banking system, trade policy (including tariffs, export controls, and sanctions), ongoing or escalating geopolitical factors and military activities, as well as the potential for additional conflicts, war or civil unrest. At this point, the extent to which these effects may impact the Company’s future financial condition or results of operations is uncertain, and as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the update of any estimates or judgments or an adjustment of the carrying value of any assets or liabilities. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained and will be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known.
Net Loss Per Common Share

The Company’s basic net loss per share of common stock is computed based on the average number of outstanding shares of common stock for the period, by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, without consideration for potential dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and common share equivalents of potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive securities include common stock equivalents. Since the Company was in a loss position for the periods presented, basic net loss per share of common stock is the same as diluted net loss per share of common stock since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive.

The outstanding potentially dilutive common stock equivalents as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 for: (1) options to purchase shares of common stock of 6,130,247 and 9,151,461, respectively, (2) unvested restricted stock of 426,750 and 640,125, respectively, and (3) unvested restricted stock units of 2,619,465 and 1,624,743, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share due to their anti-dilutive effect.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is classified as an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act. Therefore, the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. The Company will retain EGC status until December 31, 2026.

3.Business Combination

Atomic Alchemy

On February 28, 2025 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired Atomic Alchemy Inc.’s ("Atomic Alchemy") common stock in a business combination for its radioisotope business located in the U.S. The purchase price of $28,424 was comprised of (i) a cash portion of $900, net of cash acquired, paid at the Acquisition Date to certain Atomic Alchemy equity holders for their respective portion of the consideration, and (ii) the issuance of 820,840 shares of the Company’s common stock representing stock consideration in exchange for Atomic Alchemy’s common stock. At the Acquisition Date, the Company’s common stock public trading price of $33.39 per share was used to measure the stock consideration of $27,408.

In connection with the business combination, the Company issued 274,339 shares of its common stock, subject to certain lock-up provisions, vesting conditions, and substantial risk of forfeiture, representing post-combination services, pursuant to an employment agreement and vesting agreement.

The composition of the purchase price is as follows:

Cash $ 1,016 
Common stock 27,408 
Total purchase consideration $ 28,424 

The Company incurred $410 in transaction costs related to the acquisition, which primarily consisted of legal and accounting expenses. The acquisition-related expenses were recorded in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company adjusted the purchase price allocation as a result of certain measurement period adjustments to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed. The Company finalized its measurement period accounting after filing Atomic Alchemy's short year 2025 federal and state income tax returns, and following revisions to internal estimates and new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the Acquisition Date. The measurement period adjustments included a decrease in deferred tax liabilities of $99 with a corresponding decrease to goodwill.

11

The purchase price allocation resulted in the following amounts being allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Acquisition Date based upon their respective fair values as summarized below:

Cash $ 116 
Prepaid expenses 99 
Property and equipment 40 
Operating lease right-of-use assets 19 
Indefinite-lived intangible assets 27,500 
Goodwill 6,621 
Operating lease liability (19)
Other current liabilities (268)
Deferred tax liabilities (5,684)
Net assets acquired
$ 28,424 

The Company utilized an independent appraisal firm to assist in the determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which required certain significant management assumptions and estimates. The fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets representing in-process research and development ("IPR&D") were valued using a pre-tax royalty for the hypothetical use of a trade name for a selected royalty rate based on a market licensing agreement benchmarking analysis.

The IPR&D consisted of two separate projects, Abundantia and Meitner. Abundantia’s fair value assigned of $4,600 is expected to produce revenue as early as 2026 from the sale of purified radium and other desired radioisotopes produced via irradiation. Meitner’s fair value of $22,900 is a later stage project which will produce for sale isotopes that are prepared and irradiated into radioisotopes in Versatile Isotope Production Reactors (“VIPR”), which is a thermal pool-type nuclear reactor. Each project has a different risk profile, cash flows, and its own unique process. Abundantia's fair value was determined using a risk-adjusted cash flow approach applied to its potential cash flows, subject to obtaining a certain material handling permit required by the NRC. Meitner is expected to produce revenue once a facility is constructed, with its fair value determined using a risk-adjusted cash flow approach applied to its cash flows, subject to approval of an application for a construction license and operating license by the NRC. There was no estimated useful life assigned given the assets are IPR&D.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents goodwill from the acquisition. Goodwill is recorded as a noncurrent asset that is not amortized but is subject to an annual review for impairment. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The results of operations of Atomic Alchemy are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on the Acquisition Date.

7.Right of First Refusal Liability

On February 16, 2024, the Company entered into a letter of intent (the “LOI”) with an unrelated third party (the “third party”) for the purchase of power from the Company’s planned powerhouses to serve certain data centers in the U.S. on a 20-year timeline with the right to renew for additional 20-year terms, and at a rate to be formally specified in one or more future power purchase agreement ("PPA") (subject to the requirement that the price meets certain conditions contained in the agreement).

The LOI provides for the third party to have a continuing right of first refusal for a period of thirty-six (36) months following its execution to purchase energy output produced by certain powerhouses developed by the Company in the U.S., subject to certain provisions and excluded powerhouses (the “ROFR”). In exchange for the ROFR and other rights contained in the LOI, in March 2024, the third party paid the Company $25,000 (the “Payment”). In connection with the Payment, the Company agreed to supply power at a discount to the most favored nation pricing that the Company is required to provide to the third party in a future PPA (location to be determined); provided, that pricing set out in a PPA will include an additional discount if needed such that the total savings against most favored nation pricing over the course of the PPA is equivalent to the Payment. The Payment is effectively a nonrefundable upfront payment that will be attributed to future power delivery. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance under the right of first refusal liability was $25,000, as reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

8.Stockholders’ Equity

Subject to the special rights of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, the number of shares of preferred stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) by affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Company entitled to vote. There are no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Equity ATM Program

In December 2025, the Company entered into a sales agreement with sales agents pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time and at its sole discretion, shares of its common stock up to an aggregate gross sales price of $1,500,000 in an ATM offering (the "2025 ATM Program"), which was completed during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Under the 2025 ATM Program, the Company agreed to pay the sales agents commissions at a rate equal to 1.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of shares.

The following is a summary of the shares issued under the 2025 ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2026 (in thousands except shares issued and average price per share):

Period Ended   Shares Issued   Average Net Price Per Share   Gross Proceeds   Net Proceeds
March 31, 2026 12,376,352 $96.95 $ 1,199,868  $ 1,181,897 

Exercise of Stock Options – During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company issued shares of its common stock upon the exercise of stock options totaling 290,908 and 318,921, respectively, with proceeds of $737 and $720, respectively, as reflected on the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

Restricted Stock Units – The Company issued, in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units, 687,756 and 134,832 shares of the Company’s common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, as reflected on the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

Common Stock Withheld for Taxes – The Company withheld 1,280 and 66,724 shares of its common stock upon issuance of vested restricted units, representing a payment for taxes of $75 and $1,595, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, as reflected on the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

9.Stock-Based Compensation
16


Stock-based compensation expense charged to operations is summarized as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
2026 2025
Research and development $ 7,496  $ 973 
General and administrative 8,090  1,338 
Total costs charged to operations $ 15,586  $ 2,311 

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, approximately 550,000 shares were granted to acquire shares of the Company's common stock, consisting of restricted stock units, with a grant date fair value of approximately $36,000 under its stock-based compensation plan.

Unrecognized compensation expense and expected weighted-average period to be recognized related to the stock-based compensation awards as of March 31, 2026 were as follows:

Restricted Stock Stock Options Totals
Unrecognized stock-based compensation cost $ 118,291  $ 13,757  $ 132,048 
Weighted-average period over which cost is expected to be recognized (in years) 3.44 3.32 3.42

10.Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes in interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate ("ETR"), adjusted for discrete items that arise during the period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of its annual ETR, and if the estimated annual ETR changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in such period. The quarterly provision for income taxes, and estimate of the Company’s annual ETR, are subject to variation due to several factors, including variability in pre-tax income (or loss), the mix of jurisdictions to which such income relates, changes in how the Company conducts business, and tax law developments.

The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon a variety of factors, including the generation of future taxable income, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies. The Company's provision for income taxes reflects discrete items and jurisdictional tax expense, which may cause fluctuations in the quarterly and year‑to‑date ETR compared to the Company’s statutory tax rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded income tax expense of $3,155 primarily attributable to state income taxes in certain jurisdictions. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $4,411 primarily related to discrete items recognized in connection with the acquisition of Atomic Alchemy. Based on the Company’s cumulative historical operating losses and uncertainty regarding the generation of future taxable income, a valuation allowance was maintained against substantially all deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2026 and 2025.

As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits related to federal research credit carryforwards, of which, if fully recognized in the future would have no impact to the ETR and would result in a corresponding adjustment to the valuation allowance. No interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits are accrued.

11.Commitments and Contingencies

Contract Commitments

The Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business with third-party contract research organizations, contract development and manufacturing organizations and other service providers and vendors. These contracts generally provide for termination on notice and, therefore, are cancellable contracts and not considered contractual obligations and commitments.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The following discussion contains “forward-looking statements” that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs, and expected performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. We caution that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions, or beliefs about future events may, and often do, vary from actual results and the differences can be material. Please see “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
We founded Oklo in 2013 with the goal of revolutionizing the energy landscape by developing clean, reliable, affordable energy solutions at scale. According to the International Energy Agency, global electricity production is expected to increase over 75% by 2050 driven by electrification of buildings, transportation, and industry; increased use of air conditioning in the developing world; and increased consumption from data centers and cloud services. Our business addresses this demand by producing electricity and heat from our Aurora powerhouses which can run on fresh, recycled, or down-blended nuclear fuel. We are also commercializing nuclear fuel recycling technology that can convert used nuclear fuel into usable fuel for our powerhouses and those of others.

The fast fission reactor technology we are commercializing was demonstrated by the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (“EBR-II”), a fast fission plant that was operated by the U.S. government for 30 years. Our powerhouse product line, called the “Aurora,” builds on this legacy of proven and demonstrated technology. Our Aurora powerhouse product line is designed with embedded safety features, to be able to run on fresh, recycled, or down-blended fuel, and to produce 15-75 megawatts electric (“MWe”) and has the potential to expand powerhouse size to produce 100 MWe and higher. Because the Aurora powerhouses are designed to operate by utilizing the power of high-energy, or “fast,” neutrons, they are expected to be able to tap into the vast energy reserves remaining in existing used nuclear fuel from conventional nuclear power generation facilities, which only use approximately 5% of the energy potential in the nuclear fuel before needing to refuel. The U.S. nuclear power industry has produced approximately 20% of U.S. electricity over the last 30 years and generated over 90,000 metric tons of used nuclear fuel. We estimate that the existing energy reserves contained in the used nuclear fuel in the U.S. that are made accessible through our fast fission reactor technology are equivalent to approximately 1.2 trillion barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), nearly five times the oil reserves of Saudi Arabia. Fission is an energy-dense process, producing approximately 50 million times more energy than combustion.

We have achieved several significant deployment and regulatory milestones for our first Aurora powerhouse. Notably, we secured a site use permit from the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) for the Idaho National Laboratory (“INL”) site and received a fuel award of five metric tons of HALEU produced from recovered uranium from previously irradiated EBR-II fuel from INL for a commercial Aurora powerhouse in Idaho. Related to the construction and operating licensing process of the Aurora powerhouse, we have also submitted the Nuclear Safety Design Agreement and the Preliminary Documented Safety Analysis to the DOE for the Aurora powerhouse at INL ("Aurora-INL"), which represent the first two of five steps in the DOE regulatory pathway for nuclear facility operation. Early in 2026, the DOE approved the Nuclear Safety Design Agreement. Related to our first Aurora powerhouse, the DOE and the INL have completed the environmental compliance process addressing the DOE requirements for site characterization. This process, resulting in an Environmental Compliance Permit, marks a milestone as we advance our plans to deliver the first commercial advanced fission power plant in the U.S.

We have been tentatively selected to provide electricity and heat to Eielson Air Force Base outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. Our robust pipeline of potential customer engagements spans a number of industries. For example, we have signed non-binding letters of intent with Equinix, Inc. ("Equinix"), Diamondback E&P LLC ("Diamondback Energy"), and Prometheus Hyperscale (formerly Wyoming Hyperscale White Box LLC) ("Prometheus Hyperscale"). In December 2024, we signed a 12 gigawatt (GW) Master Power Agreement with Switch, Ltd. ("Switch"), one of the largest corporate power purchase agreements ("PPA") in history.

On January 5, 2026, we entered into a prepayment agreement (the "Prepayment Agreement") with Meta Platforms, Inc. ("Meta") that advances plans to develop a 1.2 gigawatt power campus in Pike County, Ohio, to support Meta’s data centers. The Prepayment Agreement provides a mechanism for Meta to prepay for power and provide funding to advance powerhouse deployment. Pursuant to the Prepayment Agreement, the Company will use Meta's funding to secure nuclear fuel, advancing the first phase of the project.

We are exploring opportunities with the Tennessee Valley Authority (“TVA”) to recycle the utility’s used fuel at a new facility and to evaluate potential power sales from future Oklo powerhouses in the region to TVA. The market interest in our solutions exemplifies the potential demand for the size range of the Aurora powerhouse product line and our differentiated business model. We have an ambitious target of deploying our first powerhouse in 2028 amidst a range of supply chain, construction, macroeconomic, and design complexities.

In addition to deployment milestones, we have made significant progress in our nuclear fuel recycling and fuel fabrication efforts and in securing fuel. The DOE has reviewed and approved our Safety Design Strategy, Conceptual Safety Design Report, Nuclear Safety Design Agreement, and Preliminary Documented Safety Analysis for the Aurora Fuel Fabrication Facility at INL—all key milestones as we advance toward our goal of utilizing recovered nuclear material to fuel our first commercial Aurora powerhouse. Our Aurora Fuel Fabrication Facility was also selected under the DOE Fuel Line Pilot Program ("FLPP"). The FLPP allows for acceleration of permitting, construction, and operation of nuclear fuel production lines for research, development, and demonstration purposes, supporting a fast-track approach to commercial licensing. In addition, we successfully completed the first end-to-end demonstration of the key stages of our advanced fuel recycling process, in collaboration with Argonne and INL. This marks a significant step forward in scaling up fuel recycling capabilities and deploying a commercial-scale recycling facility. In September 2025, we announced plans to design, build, and operate a fuel recycling facility in Tennessee as the first phase of an advanced fuel center (the "Advanced Fuel Center") to recycle used nuclear fuel into fuel for fast reactors, including our Aurora powerhouse line. The facility, which includes a roadmap of up to $1.68 billion in investment, will be the first of its kind in the U.S. and we estimate that it has the potential to create more than 800 high-quality jobs. We have completed a licensing project plan for the fuel recycling facility with the NRC and are currently in pre-application engagement with the regulator’s staff.

In December 2025, we completed a fast-spectrum plutonium criticality experiment in collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory under the DOE’s reactor pilot program ("RPP"). During the experiment, the system was taken critical and operated through controlled power maneuvers and transients, enabling the collection of operating data related to reactivity feedback and power response. This work places Oklo among a limited number of organizations with modern, experimentally validated operating data for plutonium-fueled fast-spectrum reactor systems, providing empirical validation of key safety and performance characteristics. Plutonium represents a potential near-term fuel option within a DOE-managed framework that complements Oklo’s use of HALEU and longer-term fuel recycling strategy, providing additional flexibility as fuel markets evolve and supporting continued progress toward deployment in alignment with U.S. national priorities.

Fuel is a significant input to enable us to build and operate our powerhouses at scale and generate expected returns. The cost environment for various sources of fuel (including HALEU) has increased significantly in recent years, which is why we are implementing a diversified fuel strategy. Tariffs, supply chain constraints, inflation, and evolving sanctions have impacted the market dynamics around fuel costs and availability. In particular, beyond developing recycling and fuel fabrication facilities, we are evaluating the use of alternative fuel materials, including plutonium currently designated for the DOE’s dilute-and-dispose programs, that may be made available by the U.S. government for use in advanced reactor applications. Any potential use of such materials would be subject to DOE authorization, applicable regulatory approvals, applicable cost recovery requirements, and programmatic determinations regarding material availability. By developing a diverse set of sources of fuel (including plutonium) with a wide range of costs, levels of regulatory oversight, and operational complexities, and having multiple options for fueling our powerhouses, we believe we will better navigate the shifting fuel landscape.

On January 7, 2026, we announced the execution of a DOE Other Transaction Agreement ("OTA") to support the design, construction, and operation of a radioisotope pilot plant (“Radioisotope Pilot Facility”) under the DOE RPP. The execution of the OTA marks the transition from project selection and planning into active execution under DOE authorization. On March 17, 2026, we announced DOE's approval of the Nuclear Safety Design Agreement for our Groves Isotopes Test Reactor at the Radioisotope Pilot Facility, allowing the facility to move into the next phase of project execution under DOE oversight through submission of its Preliminary Documented Safety Analysis for review. Our isotope business will use the Radioisotope Pilot Facility to aid in planning and execution of future commercial radioisotope production facilities. The Radioisotope Pilot Facility may also be used for testing radioisotope production methods to further our production capabilities of medical and research radioisotopes in the U.S., as well as our research efforts and building capabilities for other projects in development. Our isotope business also received a materials license from the NRC authorizing its Idaho radiochemistry laboratory to handle, process, and distribute isotopes, which supports initial commercial sales and further development of domestic isotope processing capabilities.
Our Business Model
We are developing next-generation fast fission power plants called “powerhouses.” In our differentiated build, own, and operate business model, we plan to sell power in the forms of electricity and heat directly to customers, which we believe can allow for fast-tracked customer adoption and broader market opportunities.
20

In addition, we are a leader in the nuclear industry in the development of advanced fuel recycling, which can unlock the energy content of used nuclear fuel; we also believe this aspect of our business can complement our market position by vertically integrating and securing our fuel supply chain. In addition to our powerhouse and fuel recycling development, we are progressing construction of a pilot scale fuel fabrication facility and building plans for a first‑of‑a‑kind new commercial scale fuel fabrication facility. Through our isotope business, we are combining our growing expertise in building and operating powerhouses and nuclear fuel recycling with Atomic Alchemy’s expertise in radioisotope production. Together, we aim to meet the increasing demands for radioisotopes in medical, energy, industry, defense, and artificial intelligence applications.

Our primary product will be the energy produced from our Aurora powerhouses once operational. Our primary business model is to sell the energy to customers through PPAs, as opposed to selling our powerhouse designs. This business model allows for recurring revenue, provides the opportunity to capture profitability of an Aurora powerhouse upon improved operational efficiency, and enables project financing structures. This business model sets us apart from the traditional nuclear power industry, which typically sells reactor design and engineering services to large scale utility customers and not power. Selling power through PPAs is a common practice within the renewable energy and utility sectors and indicates that this business model could be feasible for power plants within the size range targeted by our Aurora product line (i.e., 15 MWe-75 MWe, and ranging upward to potential sizes of 100 MWe and higher).
The traditional nuclear power industry comprises developers of large (ranging from approximately 600 MWe to over 1,000 MWe) light water reactors that sell or license their reactor designs to large utilities that then construct and operate the nuclear power plant. The developer’s focus on regulatory approval of the design may lock in certain lifecycle regulatory costs that are realized by the owner-operator during construction and operations. As a result, lifecycle cost implications are generally not addressed cohesively between the developer and the owner-operator, and the regulatory strategy does not holistically implement the lifecycle benefits of the technology’s inherent safety characteristics. The advanced fission industry has largely followed the historical blueprint of developers seeking design certifications or approvals, and utilities bearing the future burden of licensing for construction and operations. While there are a number of advanced reactor designers developing smaller sized reactors than those traditionally used in the nuclear power industry, many of these developers are generally pursuing regulatory approval of groupings of these smaller reactors as part of singular larger plants, sizes of 200 MWe and up to 1,000 MWe.
In contrast, we plan to be the designer, builder, owner, and operator of our powerhouses and plan to focus on small-scale powerhouses (15 MWe-75 MWe, and potentially 100 MWe and higher). As a result, we have an incentive to relentlessly focus on the full lifecycle of a safe, well-maintained, cost-effective powerhouse and holistically implement the benefits of an inherently safe, simple design. We expect this approach to enable us to reduce and manage lifecycle regulatory and operating costs in an integrated fashion over time, as opposed to the historical model used in the nuclear power industry, which divides the incentives and responsibilities between the developer and the utility.

Additionally, this modular and scalable approach enables us to better deal with the inherent uncertainties, costs, and inefficiencies of the many service providers, manufacturers, fuel providers, and other third parties that we will rely on to build our powerhouses. While we expect that individual powerhouses may, and our first few powerhouses likely will, experience challenges that require us to manage unexpected costs and possible construction delays, our business model allows us to take the learnings from constructing those powerhouses and make improvements with future projects.

In particular, we expect the construction of our first powerhouses, such as the powerhouse at INL, to include additional, unique, one-time costs as compared to the costs expected for future powerhouse projects. Such additional costs will result, in part, from design decisions to include enhanced fuel and core testing capabilities, which will be more costly and complex to design and build. These complexities will also increase the possibility of construction delays. We expect future powerhouses to benefit from substantial cost reductions as compared to the deployment of our first few reactors, both because subsequent reactors will not require these enhanced testing capabilities, and because we expect the testing capabilities to help us identify opportunities to reduce our costs and improve our operational efficiency over time.
Selling electricity under PPAs follows an established revenue model in global power markets. While this model is more typically used for renewable energy solutions, we believe it is a compelling model for us because of the relatively small size and the lower expected capital costs of our powerhouses, when compared with other nuclear power plants. In addition, our model is designed to generate recurring revenue in a way that the traditional licensing model does not. Our powerhouses could be operating cash flow positive from the first year of operation due to our anticipated favorable unit economics. We also believe this approach will drive unit growth and allow us to ultimately launch higher output versions of our powerhouses. As our technology matures, we intend to offer customers flexibility in business model and deployment solutions to meet their needs, providing us with the largest target customer base possible.
21

Given our growth stage, we continue to develop and evaluate our overall cost and potential pricing structure as we evaluate our unit economics, which we expect to be subject to market and extrinsic forces such as the impact of construction costs as a result of tariffs, supply chain pressures, and other macroeconomic factors.
In addition to selling power under PPAs, we are taking steps to enhance our mission with our fuel fabrication projects and advanced nuclear fuel recycling technology. We are actively developing nuclear fuel recycling capabilities with the goal of deploying a commercial-scale fuel recycling facility in the U.S. by the early 2030s. Used nuclear fuel still contains approximately 95% of its energy content, and it has been estimated there is enough energy in the form of used nuclear fuel in the U.S. to power the expected electrical needs in the U.S. for 100 years with fast fission power plants. According to the DOE, more than 90,000 metric tons of used nuclear fuel have been generated since 1950, and an additional 2,000 metric tons are generated every year. Currently, other countries recycle used nuclear fuel, but the U.S. does not, and hence there is an enormous opportunity to do so.

Our reactors are specifically designed to run on fresh, recycled, or down-blended nuclear fuel, and nuclear fuel recycling and down-blending federal government materials could provide future margin uplift for our power sales business, as well as the potential for new revenue streams. We continue to evaluate the overall cost and timeline to be able to receive any potential benefit from this embedded opportunity. We are also evaluating the potential use of alternative fuel materials, including plutonium designated for dilute-and-dispose programs, that could be made available by the U.S. government for use in advanced reactors. This initiative complements our recycling work and supports the development of a resilient and diversified domestic fuel supply chain.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that our future success and financial performance depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for our business, but also pose risks and challenges. As a result, we are subject to continuing risks and uncertainties. For additional information, see the section titled “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report and in Part I, Item 1A of Oklo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Product Development Plan

We plan to leverage the next-generation fast fission powerhouses that we are developing in order to sell power to a variety of potential customers, including data centers, military and other government facilities, factories, industrial customers, off-grid and remote communities, commercial and institutional campuses, and utilities.

Commercial deployment of any advanced fission power plant requires obtaining regulatory approvals for design, construction, and operation. Our long-term regulatory strategy has been focused on a custom combined license application. We became the first advanced fission company to submit a custom combined license application with the NRC in March 2020, which was denied without prejudice in 2022. We are currently working toward submitting an updated custom combined license application for NRC review.

In July 2025, we completed a Phase I pre-application readiness assessment with the NRC to evaluate the maturity of our siting and environmental approach and our overall readiness to submit those parts of the combined license application. The assessment concluded with no significant gaps identified that would hinder acceptance of the application, marking a key milestone in our licensing strategy. It is uncertain when, if at all, we will obtain NRC approvals for the design, construction, and operation of any of our powerhouses. Our financial condition, commercial plans, and results of operations are likely to be materially and adversely affected if we do not obtain such approvals or if this process takes significantly longer or costs more than we expect.

Alongside ongoing NRC progress, on August 13, 2025, Oklo and Atomic Alchemy were selected by the DOE for three of the eleven projects awarded under the newly established RPP. Oklo was selected for two projects, and Atomic Alchemy for one project. Among these, the Aurora–INL powerhouse was approved to proceed under DOE purview, granting access to the DOE authorization pathway—a regulatory framework that provides full authority to construct and operate the powerhouse while maintaining high safety standards. This designation supports deployment of the Aurora–INL powerhouse by streamlining federal review and providing a platform for demonstration of the Aurora powerhouse design to support future NRC licensing.

22

In August 2025, the NRC accepted for review our principal design criteria ("PDC") topical report, which establishes a regulatory framework that defines the fundamental safety, reliability, and performance requirements to guide future reactor licensing and design activities. The NRC accepted our PDC topical report under an accelerated timeline and proposed an expedited review schedule of the report.

Additionally, we plan to be the designer, builder, owner, and operator of our powerhouses and plan to focus on small-scale powerhouses (15 MWe, 75 MWe, and potentially 100 MWe and higher designs). As a result, we have an incentive to relentlessly focus on the full lifecycle of a safe, well-maintained, cost-effective powerhouse and holistically implement the benefits of an inherently safe, simple design. We expect this approach to enable us to reduce and manage lifecycle regulatory and operating costs in an integrated fashion, as opposed to the historical model used in the nuclear power industry, which divides the incentives and responsibilities between the developer and the utility. However, this model exposes us directly to the costs of building, owning, and operating our powerhouses. Our cost projections and timelines are heavily dependent upon fuel, raw materials (such as steel), equipment, and technical and construction service providers (such as engineering, procurement, and construction firms). The global supply chain on which we will rely (including for HALEU), has been significantly impacted in recent years by inflation, instability in the banking sector, war and other hostilities, and other economic uncertainties, resulting in potential significant delays and cost fluctuations. Similar developments in the future may impact our performance from both a deployment and cost perspective. Our initial assets in operation will represent the first deployment of our Aurora design and, as such, will be subject to risk around both cost and time associated with first-of-a-kind capital project delivery. In particular, we expect the construction of our first powerhouse at INL to include additional, unique costs as compared to the costs expected for future powerhouse projects. Such additional costs will result, in part, from design decisions to include enhanced fuel and core testing capabilities, which will be more costly and complex to design and build. We expect future powerhouses to benefit from substantial cost reductions as compared to our first reactor deployment.

Plan of Operations

To further our ambitious target of deploying our first powerhouse in 2028, amidst a range of supply chain, geopolitical, macroeconomic, and design complexities, we will engage or continue to engage in the following key initiatives:

•Progressing regulatory approval for powerhouse deployments with both the DOE and the NRC.

•Progressing regulatory pre-application related activities with the NRC for licensing of commercial fuel fabrication.

•Continuing work and regulatory activities related to fuel recycling, such as pre-application regulatory alignment efforts with the NRC, and research and development, both independently and in conjunction with the DOE, focused on facility and process design for the Oklo fuel recycling facility.

•Working with INL on fuel manufacturing, including preparation of documentation for regulatory review, finalization of the facility design, and expected construction activities.

•Advancing partnerships related to fuel enrichment, fuel fabrication, and other key supply chain elements, as well as other procurement activities to expand our fuel sourcing supply chain.
•Advancing DOE authorization and related design activities for the Aurora Fuel Fabrication Facility at INL, which is intended to fabricate fuel for Oklo’s first commercial-scale Aurora powerhouse, the Aurora-INL.
•Advancing plans for our Advanced Fuel Center in Oak Ridge, Tennessee—beginning with a proposed fuel recycling facility—to support fuel recycling and fabrication capabilities.

•Evaluating the potential use of alternative U.S. government fuel materials, including plutonium for use in advanced reactor applications, in support of Oklo’s multi-pronged fuel strategy and domestic fuel supply chain development.

•Executing on key non-fuel elements of our supply chain, including steam turbine generator sourcing, steel, and other construction inputs.

23

•Progressing engineering procurement and construction activities in support of the construction of Aurora powerhouses.

•Working with Kiewit Nuclear Solutions Co. ("Kiewit"), who was selected as the lead constructor for our first Aurora powerhouse in Idaho, a major milestone toward project delivery and execution.

•Continuing and initiating site preparation for announced facilities at INL, and Pike County, Ohio, respectively. We will begin site preparation for other announced projects based on prioritization, potentially including prospective customers such as Meta, Equinix, Diamondback Energy, Prometheus Hyperscale, Switch, and other future projects.

•Exploring activities related to, or in support of, various Executive Orders that look to accelerate the deployment of domestic, advanced nuclear energy.

•Negotiating and executing additional letters of intent, memoranda of understanding, and master partnership agreements and converting such preliminary agreements into power purchase agreements with multiple potential customers.

•Negotiating term sheets and binding power purchase agreements with customers who have previously signed nonbinding agreements such as letters of intent to purchase power.
•Pursuing potential isotope sales opportunities, including evaluating customer interest, commercial structures, and related agreements to support future commercial opportunities.

•Continuing to hire additional personnel and implement processes and systems necessary to deliver our business strategy.

•Progressing production of radioisotopes by our isotope business, assessing options to scale production, developing and executing plans to progress the RPP deployment for this business.

•Evaluating potential acquisition opportunities to strategically accelerate our business and enhance our capability to execute on our business plans.
•Evaluating opportunities across the nuclear space sector, including potential applications involving radioisotope power systems and related technologies, in light of recent customer interest, industry procurement activity, and market demand.

•Continuing to pursue activities, such as our ATM Program, to raise capital at the corporate and asset levels.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, our total operating expenses were $51.2 million and $139.3 million, respectively. We expect our total cash used in operating expenses for 2026 to be in the range of $80 million to $100 million and our total cash used in investing activities to be in the range of $350 million to $450 million.

Nuclear Energy Industry

The nuclear energy industry operates in a politically sensitive environment, and the successful execution of our business model is dependent upon public support for nuclear power in the U.S. and other countries. The U.S. government has consistently indicated through bipartisan action that it recognizes the importance of nuclear power in meeting the United States’ growing energy needs. As an example, the ADVANCE Act, which was signed into law on July 9, 2024 with significant bipartisan support, streamlines licensing, reduces costs, and boosts U.S. leadership in advanced nuclear energy by modernizing regulations, supporting fuel innovation, and expanding global competitiveness.

On May 23, 2025, four Executive Orders directed federal agencies to streamline licensing at the NRC, accelerate advanced reactor deployment at DOE and U.S. Department of Defense sites for national security and AI/data-center needs, overhaul the domestic nuclear fuel cycle, and strengthen the U.S. nuclear industrial base. These Executive Orders, together with proposed legislation, reflect sustained federal interest in strengthening domestic energy security, supporting AI-driven infrastructure growth, and promoting advanced nuclear deployment. Ongoing DOE initiatives, including the RPP and FLPP, further demonstrate federal focus on developing a resilient nuclear fuel cycle and advancing advanced reactor technologies.
24


Additionally, opponents of advanced nuclear deployment in the U.S. and intervenors in regulatory proceedings could delay the licensing that our business model requires. As a result, our performance will depend in part on factors generally affecting the views and policies regulating the nuclear energy industry, which we cannot predict over the long term.

Key Components of Results of Operations

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of research and development and general and administrative expenses.

Research and Development

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses represent costs incurred to develop our technologies. These costs consist of personnel costs, including salaries, employee benefit costs, bonuses, and stock-based compensation expenses, software costs, computing costs, hardware and experimental supplies, and expenses for outside engineering contractors for analytical work and consulting costs. We expense all R&D costs in the periods in which they are incurred; however, occasionally, reimbursements could be received in the following period.

We have several recycling technology projects awarded as R&D cost-share projects (the “cost-share projects”) through the DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (“ARPA-E”) and the DOE Technology Commercialization Fund (“TCF”). The ARPA-E and TCF projects involve cost-sharing of project costs as well as reimbursement of certain qualifying expenditures to us. A budget was initially approved for each of these cost-share projects, and as certain expenses and capital expenditures for equipment are incurred, such expenses or capital expenditures are reported to ARPA-E, and then a pre-determined percentage of such expenses or capital expenditures are reimbursed by ARPA-E back to us. The expenses are categorized as R&D expenses, which are then partially reimbursed.

General and Administrative

Our general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses primarily comprise various components not related to R&D, such as personnel costs, regulatory fees, promotion expenses, costs associated with maintaining and filing intellectual property, meals and entertainment expenses, travel expenses, and other expenditures related to external professional services including legal, engineering, marketing, human resources, procurement, audit, finance, and accounting services. Personnel costs include salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expenses. As we continue to grow and expand our workforce and operations, and in light of the increased costs associated with operating as a public company, we anticipate that our G&A expenses will rise for the foreseeable future.

Other Income

Other income consists of interest and dividend income on our portfolio of marketable debt securities.

Income Taxes

Income taxes consist of income taxes in jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We have a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits related primarily to R&D. Federal and state income taxes may be incurred as a result of our interest income from our investments, after available tax deductions, including tax attribute carry-overs.

Research and Development

R&D expenses increased by $19.2 million from 2025 to 2026 as presented above, primarily driven by increases in employee compensation expenses of $5.8 million, and professional services of $5.8 million. The increase in employee compensation expenses was primarily driven by an increase in headcount of approximately 85 employees from the prior year comparable period, and an increase in stock-based compensation costs of $6.5 million. The increase in professional services was primarily driven by an increase in costs from third-party service providers for consulting and engineering services.

General and Administrative

G&A expenses increased by $14.2 million from 2025 to 2026 as presented above, primarily driven by increases in employee compensation expenses of $3.4 million and professional services of $3.0 million. The increase in employee compensation expenses was primarily driven by an increase in headcount of approximately 51 employees from the prior year comparable period, and an increase in stock-based compensation costs of $6.8 million. The increase in professional services was primarily driven by an increase in costs for professional services for accounting and consulting services.

Other Income

Interest and dividend income increased by $17.7 million from 2025 to 2026 as presented above, primarily driven by an increase in our cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities balances from the prior year period as a result of equity issuances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2026, our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable debt securities were $2,536.9 million. We continue to incur significant operating losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had a net loss of $33.1 million, loss from operations of $51.2 million, and net cash used in operating activities of $17.9 million. As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $273.8 million. Management expects that significant on-going operating expenditures will be necessary to successfully implement our business plan, develop our powerhouses, fuel recycling facilities and fuel fabrication technology, acquire fuel for those powerhouses and recycling facilities, and expand our radioisotope business.

We will utilize our existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable debt securities to fund our powerhouses, radioisotopes and fuel businesses, operations, and growth plans, and we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable debt securities will be sufficient to fund our operations for the one-year period following the issuance date of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2026.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations
We did not have any material commitments or contractual obligations as of March 31, 2026.

Cash Flows Comparison

A summary of our consolidated sources and uses of cash and cash equivalents, was as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands) 2026 2025
 Net cash used in operating activities $ (17,867) $ (12,243)
 Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities (359,034) 6,064 
 Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities 1,182,559  (875)
 Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents $ 805,658  $ (7,054)
 Cash and cash equivalents, end of period $ 1,594,103  $ 90,078 

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $17.9 million in 2026, compared to $12.2 million in 2025. The $5.7 million increase in net cash used in operating activities from 2025 to 2026 was primarily driven by operating expenses as we continue to scale our operations, consisting of $22.7 million cash used for payroll and employee benefits of personnel and $16.4 million in other costs, primarily consisting of professional services for consulting on research and development activities, and legal and accounting fees on general and administrative activities. These increases were partially offset by $21.2 million in higher cash interest and dividend income, resulting from our increased balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $359.0 million in 2026 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $6.1 million in 2025. The increase in net cash used in investing activities of $365.1 million from 2025 to 2026 was primarily from cash used for the purchase of marketable debt securities, offset from proceeds from redemptions, netting $321.2 million, capital expenditures related to deployment of our planned facilities of $32.8 million and purchases of other investments of $5.0 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,182.6 million in 2026 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $0.9 million in 2025. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities of $1,183.5 million from 2025 to 2026 was primarily from proceeds from the issuance and sale of shares of our common stock in connection with our ATM program of $1,181.9 million.
Critical Accounting Estimates

Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 provides a more complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is classified as an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). Therefore, we are eligible to utilize certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. We will retain EGC status until December 31, 2026.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts EGCs from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-EGCs, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

27

See Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding recently adopted accounting standards and recently issued and not adopted accounting standards as of the date of this report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have exposure from changes in interest rates related to our cash equivalents and our investment portfolio, which consists primarily of money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities and commercial paper. As of March 31, 2026, the total carrying value of these interest rate-sensitive assets was $2,521.3 million. We manage our exposure to minimize principal risk and maintain high liquidity, investing primarily in high-grade, short-term instruments with original maturities of less than one year. Based on a sensitivity analysis performed by management, reasonably possible near‑term changes in interest rates would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

We hold non-marketable equity investments in privately held companies with a total carrying value of $17.1 million as of March 31, 2026. Our non-marketable equity investments in privately owned companies not accounted for under the equity method are adjusted to fair value for observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer or for impairment. Given the limited liquidity and early-stage nature of these investments, and considering recent transaction and fair value history, we do not believe a reasonably possible change in market conditions would result in a material effect on our results of operations or financial position. For additional details on the composition and valuation methodology for our non-marketable equity securities, see Note 4—Balance Sheet Components to the unaudited condensed financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In connection with our continued monitoring and maintenance of our control procedures as part of the implementation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, we continue to review, test, and improve the effectiveness of our internal controls. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently subject to any pending or threatened legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are numerous factors that affect our business and operating results, many of which are beyond our control. There are no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under the “Risk Factors” section in Oklo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

EX-10.1 2 formindemnificationagree.htm EX-10.1 formindemnificationagree
OKLO INC. INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of __________ by and between Oklo Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and __________ (“Indemnitee”). RECITALS The Company and Indemnitee recognize the increasing difficulty in obtaining liability insurance for directors, officers and key employees, the significant increases in the cost of such insurance and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance. The Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers and key employees to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and coverage of liability insurance has been severely limited. Indemnitee does not regard the current protection available as adequate under the present circumstances, and Indemnitee may not be willing to continue to serve in Indemnitee’s current capacity with the Company without additional protection. The Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, and to indemnify its directors, officers and key employees so as to provide them with the maximum protection permitted by law. AGREEMENT In consideration of the mutual promises made in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows: 1. Indemnification 1.1 Third-Party Proceedings To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as such may be amended from time to time, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee, if Indemnitee was, is or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (as a witness or otherwise) in any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in the Company’s favor), against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.


 
-2- 1.2 Proceedings By or in the Right of the Company To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee, if Indemnitee was, is or is threatened to be made a party to or a participant (as a witness or otherwise) in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in the Company’s favor, against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudicated by court order or judgment to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such Proceeding is or was pending shall determine upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper. 1.3 Success on the Merits To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding referred to in Section 1.1 or Section 1.2 or the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Indemnitee is successful on the merits or otherwise as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in a Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such successfully resolved claims, issues or matters to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If any Proceeding is disposed of on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition without prejudice), without (i) the disposition being adverse to Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that Indemnitee was liable to the Company, (iii) a plea of guilty by Indemnitee, (iv) an adjudication that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and (v) with respect to any criminal Proceeding, an adjudication that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful, Indemnitee shall be considered for the purposes hereof to have been wholly successful with respect thereto. 1.4 Witness Expenses To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that Indemnitee is a witness or otherwise asked to participate in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding.


 
-3- 2. Indemnification Procedure 2.1 Advancement of Expenses To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall advance all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a statement requesting such advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding. Such advances shall be unsecured and interest free and shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. Indemnitee shall be entitled to continue to receive advancement of Expenses pursuant to this Section 2.1 unless and until the matter of Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder has been finally adjudicated by court order or judgment from which no further right of appeal exists. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it ultimately is determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under the other provisions of this Agreement. Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, which shall constitute the requisite undertaking with respect to repayment of advances made hereunder and no other form of undertaking shall be required to qualify for advances made hereunder other than the execution of this Agreement. 2.2 Notice and Cooperation by Indemnitee Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. Such notice to the Company shall include a description of the nature of, and facts underlying, the Proceeding, shall be directed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall be given in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such additional information and cooperation as the Company may reasonably request. Indemnitee’s failure to so notify, provide information and otherwise cooperate with the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation that it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Company is adversely affected by such failure. 2.3 Determination of Entitlement 2.3.1 Final Disposition Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.


 
-4- 2.3.2 Determination and Payment Subject to the foregoing, promptly after receipt of a statement requesting payment with respect to the indemnification rights set forth in Section 1, to the extent required by applicable law, the Company shall take the steps necessary to authorize such payment in the manner set forth in Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company shall pay any claims made under this Agreement, under any statute, or under any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws providing for indemnification or advancement of Expenses, within thirty (30) days after a written request for payment thereof has first been received by the Company, and if such claim is not paid in full within such thirty (30) day-period, Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter bring an action against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, subject to Section 12, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with bringing such action. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for advancement of Expenses under Section 2.1) that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under applicable law for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed. In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption with clear and convincing evidence to the contrary. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, in the case of a criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. In addition, it is the parties’ intention that if the Company contests Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, the question of Indemnitee’s right to indemnification shall be for the court to decide, and neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct required by applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct. If any requested determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder has not been made within ninety (90) days after


 
-5- the final disposition of the Proceeding, the requisite determination that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made. 2.4 Payment Directions To the extent payments are required to be made hereunder, the Company shall, in accordance with Indemnitee’s request (but without duplication), (i) pay such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, (ii) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses, or (iii) reimburse Indemnitee for such Expenses. 2.5 Notice to Insurers If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies. The Company shall provide to Indemnitee: (i) copies of all potentially applicable directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, (ii) a copy of such notice delivered to the applicable insurers, and (iii) copies of all subsequent correspondence between the Company and such insurers regarding the Proceeding, in each case substantially concurrently with the delivery or receipt thereof by the Company. 2.6 Defense of Claim and Selection of Counsel In the event the Company shall be obligated under Section 2.1 hereof to advance Expenses with respect to any Proceeding, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so to do, and upon Indemnitee providing signed, written consent to such assumption, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding, provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel in any such Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense; and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense or (C) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. In addition, if there exists a potential, but not an actual conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee, the actual and reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by


 
-6- Indemnitee for separate counsel retained by Indemnitee to monitor the Proceeding (so that such counsel may assume Indemnitee’s defense if the conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee becomes an actual conflict of interest) shall be deemed to be Expenses that are subject to indemnification hereunder. The existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest, and whether such conflict may be waived, shall be determined pursuant to the rules of attorney professional conduct and applicable law. The Company shall not be required to obtain the consent of Indemnitee for the settlement of any Proceeding the Company has undertaken to defend if the Company assumes full and sole responsibility for each such settlement; provided, however, that the Company shall be required to obtain Indemnitee’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, before entering into any settlement which (1) does not grant Indemnitee a complete release of liability, (2) would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee, or (3) would admit any liability or misconduct by Indemnitee. 3. Additional Indemnification Rights 3.1 Scope Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws or by statute. In the event of any change, after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable law, statute, or rule which expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, such changes shall be deemed to be within the purview of Indemnitee’s rights and the Company’s obligations under this Agreement. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, such changes, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder.


 
-7- 3.2 Nonexclusivity The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested members of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Delaware General Corporation Law, or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. 3.3 Third-Party Indemnification The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has or may from time to time obtain certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more third parties (collectively, the “Third-Party Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Third-Party Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), and that the Company will not assert that the Indemnitee must seek expense advancement or reimbursement, or indemnification, from any Third-Party Indemnitor before the Company must perform its expense advancement and reimbursement, and indemnification obligations, under this Agreement. No advancement or payment by the Third-Party Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing. The Third-Party Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery which Indemnitee would have had against the Company if the Third-Party Indemnitors had not advanced or paid any amount to or on behalf of Indemnitee. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Third-Party Indemnitors are not entitled to the subrogation rights described in the preceding sentence, the Third- Party Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution by the Company to the Third- Party Indemnitors with respect to any advance or payment by the Third-Party Indemnitors to or on behalf of the Indemnitee. 4. Partial Indemnification If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a Proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement to which Indemnitee is entitled.


 
-8- 5. Director and Officer Liability Insurance 5.1 D&O Policy The Company shall, from time to time, make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies providing the directors and officers of the Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Among other considerations, the Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against the protection afforded by such coverage. In all policies of director and officer liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company’s officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an officer; or of the Company’s key employees, if Indemnitee is not an officer or director but is a key employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably available, if the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, if the coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by a parent or subsidiary of the Company. 5.2 Tail Coverage In the event of a Change of Control or the Company’s becoming insolvent (including being placed into receivership or entering the federal bankruptcy process and the like), the Company shall maintain in force any and all insurance policies then maintained by the Company in providing insurance (directors’ and officers’ liability, fiduciary, employment practices or otherwise) in respect of Indemnitee, for a period of six years thereafter. 6. Severability Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law. The Company’s inability, pursuant to court order, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated, and the balance of this Agreement not so invalidated shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms. 7. Exclusions Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:


 
-9- 7.1 Claims Initiated by Indemnitee To indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee with respect to Proceedings initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to Proceedings brought to establish, enforce or interpret a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, but such indemnification or advancement of Expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board of Directors finds it to be appropriate; provided, however, that the exclusion set forth in the first clause of this subsection shall not be deemed to apply to any investigation initiated or brought by Indemnitee to the extent reasonably necessary or advisable in support of Indemnitee’s defense of a Proceeding to which Indemnitee was, is or is threatened to be made, a party; 7.2 Lack of Good Faith To indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any Proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to establish, enforce or interpret a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous; 7.3 Unlawful Payments To indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses to the extent it is determined by a final court order or judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, to which all rights of appeal have either lapsed or been exhausted, that such indemnification is unlawful; 7.4 Certain Conduct To indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses on account of Indemnitee’s conduct that is established by a final court order or judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, to which all rights of appeal have either lapsed or been exhausted, as knowingly fraudulent;


 
-10- 7.5 Insured Claims To indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses to the extent such Expenses have been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under an insurance policy maintained by the Company; or 7.6 Certain Exchange Act Claims To indemnify Indemnitee in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee for (i) an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or any similar successor statute or any similar provisions of state statutory law or common law, or (ii) any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) or Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or under any clawback policy adopted by the Company, including the Company’s Amended and Restated Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, to comply with Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act and applicable stock exchange listing requirements, or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act); provided, however, that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent Indemnitee is successful on the merits or otherwise with respect to any such Proceeding, the Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any such Proceeding shall be deemed to be Expenses that are subject to indemnification hereunder. 8. Contribution Claims 8.1 If the indemnification provided in Section 1 is unavailable in whole or in part and may not be paid to Indemnitee for any reason other than those set forth in Section 7, then in respect to any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement, in connection with any Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment, and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have at any time against Indemnitee. 8.2 Without diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding Section 8.1, if, for any reason, Indemnitee shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion of any Expenses, judgment or settlement in any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in


 
-11- such Proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction or events from which such Proceeding arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the transaction or events that resulted in such Expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations which applicable law may require to be considered. The relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their actions were motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary and the degree to which their conduct is active or passive. 8.3 With respect to a Proceeding brought against directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company (other than Indemnitee), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee from any claims for contribution that may be brought by any such directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company (other than Indemnitee) who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee, to the same extent Indemnitee would have been entitled to such indemnification under this Agreement if such Proceeding had been brought against Indemnitee. 9. No Imputation The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or the Company itself shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining any rights under this Agreement. 10. Determination of Good Faith For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or the Board of Directors of the Enterprise or any counsel selected by any committee of the Board of Directors of the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser, investment banker, compensation consultant, or other expert selected with


 
-12- reasonable care by the Enterprise or the Board of Directors of the Enterprise or any committee thereof. The provisions of this Section 10 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct. Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. 11. Defined Terms and Phrases For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 11.1 “Beneficial Owner” and “Beneficial Ownership” shall have the meanings set forth in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act as in effect on the date hereof. 11.2 “Change of Control” shall be deemed to occur upon the earliest of any of the following events: 11.2.1 Acquisition of Stock by Third Party Any Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, unless (1) the change in the relative Beneficial Ownership of the Company’s securities by any Person results solely from a reduction in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, or (2) such acquisition was approved in advance by the Continuing Directors and such acquisition would not constitute a Change of Control under part (iii) of this definition. 11.2.2 Change in Board of Directors Individuals who, as of the date of this Agreement, constitute the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), and any new director whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors on the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Continuing Directors”), cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board. 11.2.3 Corporate Transaction The effective date of a reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination: (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the Beneficial Owners of securities entitled to vote


 
-13- generally in the election of directors immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 51% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors resulting from such Business Combination (including a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors and with the power to elect at least a majority of the Board or other governing body of the surviving entity; (2) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination) is the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of 15% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination; and (3) at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were Continuing Directors at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board of Directors, providing for such Business Combination. 11.2.4 Liquidation The approval by the Company’s stockholders of a complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement or series of agreements for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than factoring the Company’s current receivables or escrows due (or, if such approval is not required, the decision by the Board to proceed with such a liquidation, sale or disposition in one transaction or a series of related transactions). 11.2.5 Other Events There occurs any other event of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or a response to any similar item or any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Exchange Act whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement. 11.3 “Company” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, trustee, general partner, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under


 
-14- the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. 11.4 “Enterprise” means the Company and any other enterprise that Indemnitee was or is serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner (general, limited or otherwise), member (managing or otherwise), trustee, fiduciary, employee or agent. 11.5 “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 11.6 “Expenses” shall include all direct and indirect costs, fees and expenses of any type or nature whatsoever, including all attorneys’ fees and costs, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, fees of private investigators and professional advisors, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payment under this Agreement (including taxes that may be imposed upon the actual or deemed receipt of payments under this Agreement with respect to the imposition of federal, state, local or foreign taxes), fax transmission charges, secretarial services and all other disbursements, obligations or expenses in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, settlement or appeal of, or otherwise participating in a Proceeding. Expenses also shall include any of the forgoing expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding, including the principal, premium, security for, and other costs relating to any costs bond, supersedes bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent. Expenses also shall include any interest, assessment or other charges imposed thereon and costs incurred in preparing statements in support of payment requests hereunder. Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee. 11.7 “Person” shall have the meaning as set forth in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act as in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that “Person” shall exclude: (i) the Company; (ii) any direct or indirect majority owned subsidiaries of the Company; (iii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or any direct or indirect majority owned subsidiaries of the Company or of any corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company’s stockholders in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company (an “Employee Benefit Plan”); and (iv) any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an Employee Benefit Plan. 11.8 “Proceeding” shall include any actual, threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, mediation, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought by a third party, a government agency, the Company or its Board of Directors or a committee thereof, whether in the right of the


 
-15- Company or otherwise and whether of a civil (including intentional or unintentional tort claims), criminal, administrative, legislative or investigative (formal or informal) nature, including any appeal therefrom, in which Indemnitee was, is, will or might be involved as a party, potential party, non-party witness or otherwise by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, by reason of any action (or failure to act) taken by Indemnitee or of any action (or failure to act) on Indemnitee’s part while acting as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner (general, limited or otherwise), member (managing or otherwise), trustee, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other enterprise, in each case whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification, reimbursement or advancement of expenses can be provided under this Agreement. 11.9 In addition, references to “other enterprise” shall include another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Agreement; references to “include” or “including” shall mean include or including, without limitation; and references to Sections, paragraphs or clauses are to Sections, paragraphs or clauses in this Agreement unless otherwise specified. 12. Attorneys’ Fees In the event that any Proceeding is instituted by Indemnitee under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding, unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such Proceeding were not made in good faith or were frivolous. In the event of a Proceeding instituted by or in the name of the Company under this Agreement or to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding (including with respect to Indemnitee’s counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action), unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of Indemnitee’s material defenses to such action were made in bad faith or were frivolous.


 
-16- 13. Miscellaneous 13.1 Governing Law The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement, and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. 13.2 Entire Agreement; Binding Effect Without limiting any of the rights of Indemnitee described in Section 3.2, this Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions and supersedes any and all previous agreements between them covering the subject matter herein. The indemnification provided under this Agreement applies with respect to events occurring before or after the effective date of this Agreement, and shall continue to apply even after Indemnitee has ceased to serve the Company in any and all indemnified capacities. 13.3 Amendments and Waivers No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement. No delay or failure to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that provision as to that or any other instance. 13.4 Successors and Assigns This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company) and assigns, and inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives and assigns. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 13.5 Notices Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient when delivered personally or by overnight courier or sent by email, or 48 hours after being deposited in the U.S. mail as certified or registered mail with postage prepaid,


 
-17- addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s address as set forth on the signature page, as subsequently modified by written notice, or if no address is specified on the signature page, at the most recent address set forth in the Company’s books and records. 13.6 Severability If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms. 13.7 Construction This Agreement is the result of negotiations between and has been reviewed by each of the parties hereto and their respective counsel, if any; accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of all of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against any one of the parties hereto. 13.8 Counterparts This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Execution of a facsimile or scanned copy will have the same force and effect as execution of an original, and a facsimile or scanned signature will be deemed an original and valid signature. 13.9 No Employment Rights Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create in Indemnitee any right to continued employment. 13.10 Company Position The Company shall be precluded from asserting, in any Proceeding brought for purposes of establishing, enforcing or interpreting any right to indemnification under this Agreement, that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement and is precluded from making any assertion to the contrary. 13.11 Subrogation Subject to Section 3.3, in the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of


 
-18- Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company to effectively bring suit to enforce such rights. [Signature Page Follows]
