Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Avidity Biosciences, Inc. (the Company or Avidity) is a biopharmaceutical company committed to delivering a new class of RNA therapeutics called Antibody Oligonucleotide Conjugates (AOCs). The Company’s proprietary AOC platform is designed to combine the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the precision of RNA therapeutics to target the root cause of diseases previously untreatable with such therapeutics.

Liquidity

To date, the Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to organizing and staffing the Company, business planning, raising capital, developing its proprietary AOC platform, identifying potential product candidates, establishing its intellectual property portfolio, conducting research, preclinical and clinical studies, and providing other general and administrative support for these operations. In addition, the Company has a limited operating history, has incurred operating losses since inception and expects that it will continue to incur net losses into the foreseeable future as it continues the development of its product candidates and development programs. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $710.4 million and cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $1.3 billion.

The Company believes that existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations for at least 12 months from the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. The Company plans to finance its future cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses and other arrangements. If the Company is not able to secure adequate additional funding, it may be forced to make reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, and/or delay or reduce the scope of its planned development programs. Any of these actions could materially harm the Company’s business, results of operations and future prospects.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to a quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited interim condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented in these unaudited interim condensed financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods. These unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024.

In December 2023, the Company formed Avidity Biosciences Ireland Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary (the Subsidiary). There were no operations in, nor assets and liabilities held by, the Subsidiary in any of the periods presented.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The Company’s condensed financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates in the Company’s condensed financial statements relate to revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, and accrued research and development costs. Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately materially differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, adjusted for the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding that are subject to repurchase or forfeiture. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding as inclusion of the common stock equivalent securities would be anti-dilutive. The pre-funded common stock warrants are included in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share as the exercise price of $0.001 per share is not substantive and the shares are issuable for little or no consideration.

Common stock equivalent securities not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, because to do so would be anti-dilutive, are as follows (in thousands):


	June 30,
	2024	2023
Common stock options	12,728	10,978
Restricted stock units	1,526	635
Performance stock units	562	—
Employee Stock Purchase Plan shares pending issuance	4	9
Total	14,820	11,622

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which modifies the disclosure and presentation requirements of reportable segments. The amendments in the update require the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit and loss. The amendments also require disclosure of all other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. Additionally, the amendments require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Lastly, the amendment requires that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by ASU 2023-07 and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-07 will be applied retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its financial statements and accompanying notes.

Table of Contents

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of the income tax rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-09 can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its financial statements and accompanying notes.

4. Marketable Securities

The Company’s marketable securities, which consist of highly liquid marketable debt securities, are classified as available-for-sale and are stated at fair value. The following tables summarize the Company’s marketable securities (in thousands):


As of June 30, 2024	Maturity (in years)	Amortized Cost		Unrealized Gains		Unrealized Losses		Estimated Fair Value

Total		$	410,144	$	703	$	(578)	$	410,269

The unrealized losses on the Company’s marketable securities were caused by interest rate increases and resulted in the decrease in market value of these securities. There were no allowances for credit losses at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 because (i) the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, (ii) the Company does not intend to sell the investments before maturity, and (iii) it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases.

The following table summarizes marketable securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit losses was not recorded (in thousands):


	Less Than 12 Months				12 Months or Greater				Total
As of June 30, 2024	Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses

Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities was $4.1 million and $2.6 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company has not written off any accrued interest receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

5. Collaboration, License and Research Agreements

Research Collaboration and License Agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb Company

In November 2023, the Company entered into a Research Collaboration and License Agreement (the BMS Collaboration Agreement) with Bristol Myers Squibb Company (BMS) to expand on its research with MyoKardia Inc. In connection with the BMS Collaboration Agreement, the Company recognized revenue of $2.0 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. There are no such matters currently outstanding for which liabilities have been accrued.

Operating Lease

In April 2024, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with Turning Point Therapeutics, Inc. to rent 105,000 square feet for office and laboratory space for the Company’s future corporate headquarters. The term of the sublease is approximately 9 years and 9 months with payments expected to begin in August 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the sublease agreement, the sublandlord will provide the Company with a tenant improvement allowance of up to $33.6 million. An additional tenant improvement allowance of up to $5.0 million is also available to be repaid in equal installments through monthly rent payments, subject to 8% interest per annum and annual increases of 3% per annum. The Company also has an option and a right of first refusal for an additional 80,000 square feet in an adjacent available building, which has not been exercised. Total aggregate future lease commitments under the sublease agreement are approximately $72.6 million, inclusive of 3% annual rent increases and various agreed upon rent abatement amounts. The sublease will be measured and recognized upon commencement of the sublease. As of June 30, 2024, the sublease had not commenced because construction of improvements to bring the facility to its intended use was not substantially complete.

In connection with the sublease agreement, the Company is required to maintain a letter of credit for the benefit of the sublandlord in the amount of $2.5 million, which was delivered in April 2024 and is included in restricted cash in the Company’s condensed balance sheet.

8. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

On November 8, 2022, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the 2022 Sales Agreement) with Cowen and Company, LLC (the 2022 Sales Agent). Under the 2022 Sales Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million through the 2022 Sales Agent. Sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, or as otherwise agreed with the 2022 Sales Agent. The Company is not obligated to sell, and the 2022 Sales Agent is not obligated to buy or sell, any shares of common stock under the 2022 Sales Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold 418,408 and 4,107,810 shares of its common stock, respectively, pursuant to the 2022 Sales Agreement and received net proceeds of $5.6 million and $60.5 million, respectively, after deducting offering-related transaction costs and commissions.

On March 4, 2024, the Company sold 15,224,773 unregistered shares of its common stock and pre-funded warrants in lieu of common stock to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,030,851 shares of its common stock to investors in a private placement at an offering price of $16.50 per share and $16.499 per pre-funded warrant, which represents the offering price per share of common stock less an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The Company valued the common stock at the offering price, concluding that the offering price approximated fair value. The net proceeds from the private placement were $379.8 million after deducting placement fees and offering costs of $20.4 million. The resale of the shares, including the shares issuable upon exercise of the pre-

Table of Contents

funded warrants, were subsequently registered on an automatically effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on April 2, 2024.

The pre-funded warrants are a freestanding instrument that do not meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480 and do not meet the definition of a derivative pursuant to ASC 815. The Company valued the pre-funded warrants at the offering price, concluding that the offering price approximated fair value. The pre-funded warrants meet the equity classification criteria and were accounted for as a component of additional paid-in capital. The pre-funded warrants are immediately exercisable and do not expire.

One of the investors who participated in the private placement met the criteria of a related party as such investor was a principal owner of more than 10% of the voting interest in the Company (the Principal Owner). The Principal Owner purchased 2,121,213 shares of the Company's common stock for $35.0 million. The purchase of common stock under the private placement by the Principal Owner was carried out at arm's length as substantiated by the fact that the per share purchase price equaled the price paid by other participants. No amounts were due from the Principal Owner as of June 30, 2024.

On June 17, 2024, the Company completed a public offering of 12,132,500 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $38.00 per share. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $432.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses of $28.3 million. The shares sold in the offering were registered pursuant to the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which became automatically effective upon filing on May 9, 2024.

Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units

The Company has granted restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance stock units (PSUs) to employees of the Company under the 2020 Incentive Award and the 2022 Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plans. RSUs and PSUs are valued at the market price of a share of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. RSUs vest ratably on an annual basis over a four-year service period and are payable in shares of common stock on the vesting date. Compensation expense for RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the four-year service period. Compensation expense for PSUs is recognized over the service period when the performance conditions are met or considered probable of achievement, using management's best estimates. Forfeitures are recorded in the period in which they occur.

Granted	—	—
Vested	(188)	6.57
Forfeited	—	—
Unvested at June 30, 2024	562	$	6.57

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the performance conditions related to 375,000 units of outstanding PSUs were met or deemed probable resulting in (1) the immediate vesting of 187,500 shares and (2) the expected vesting of 187,500 shares in December 2024. As a result, the Company recognized $2.0 million of stock-based compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2024. No stock-based compensation expense has been recognized for the remaining 375,000 outstanding PSUs as the performance conditions were not deemed probable. The total fair value of PSU shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $7.4 million. No PSUs vested during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company issued 137,913 and 81,005 shares of common stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company had an outstanding liability of $0.1 million at June 30, 2024, which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the condensed balance sheet, for employee contributions to the ESPP for shares pending issuance at the end of the current offering period. As of June 30, 2024, 234,604 shares of common stock were available for issuance under the ESPP.

Table of Contents

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton model to determine the fair value of stock option grants were as follows:


	Options
	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024	2023
Risk-free interest rate	3.9% - 4.7%	3.5% - 4.0%
Expected volatility	79% - 82%	81% - 82%
Expected term (in years)	5.3 - 6.1	5.5 - 6.1
Expected dividend yield	—%	—%

Risk-Free Interest Rate. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate assumption for equity awards on the rates for U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being valued.

Expected Volatility. The expected volatility of stock options is estimated based on the average historical volatilities of common stock of comparable publicly traded companies and the Company's own volatility. The comparable companies are chosen based on their size and stage in the life cycle. The Company will continue to apply this process until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of its own stock price becomes available. Prior to 2023, the Company exclusively used peer group companies to determine expected volatility.

Expected Term. The Company's limited option exercise history does not provide a reasonable basis for estimating expected term, therefore the Company has estimated the expected life of its stock options using the simplified method, whereby the expected life equals the average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the option. The expected life assumption for employee stock purchases under the ESPP is six months to conform with the six-month ESPP offering period.

Expected Dividend Yield. The Company’s expected dividend yield assumption is zero as it has never paid dividends and has no present intention to do so in the future.

The allocation of stock-based compensation expense for stock option, RSU awards, PSU awards, and shares purchasable under the ESPP was as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Research and development expense	$	6,529	$	5,442	$	12,266	$	10,714
General and administrative expense	6,283		4,011		10,852		7,843
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	12,812	$	9,453	$	23,118	$	18,557

As of June 30, 2024, the unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding time-based options and RSUs was $70.3 million and $21.0 million, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.61 years and 3.30 years, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to PSUs was $2.9 million. As of June 30, 2024, the unrecognized compensation cost related to stock purchase rights under the ESPP was $0.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.46 years.

9. Subsequent Events

On August 9, 2024, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the 2024 Sales Agreement) with TD Securities (USA), LLC (the 2024 Sales Agent) with substantially similar terms as the 2022 Sales Agreement described in Note 8 "Stockholders' Equity". Under the 2024 Sales Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $400 million through the 2024 Sales Agent. Sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, or as otherwise agreed with the 2024 Sales Agent. The Company is not obligated to sell, and the 2024

Overview

We are a biopharmaceutical company committed to delivering a new class of RNA therapeutics called Antibody Oligonucleotide Conjugates, or AOCs. Our proprietary AOC platform is designed to combine the specificity of monoclonal antibodies, or mAbs, with the precision of RNA therapeutics to target the root cause of diseases previously untreatable with such therapeutics. Our advancing and expanding pipeline currently has three programs in clinical development. Delpacibart etedesiran, abbreviated as del-desiran (formerly AOC 1001), is designed to treat people with myotonic dystrophy type 1, or DM1, and is currently in Phase 3 development with the global HARBOR™ trial, which we initiated in June 2024. Delpacibart braxlosiran or del-brax (formerly AOC 1020) is designed to treat people living with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, or FSHD, and is currently in Phase 1/2 development with the FORTITUDE™ trial. Delpacibart zotadirsen, or del-zota (formerly AOC 1044), is designed for people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, or DMD, and is currently in Phase 1/2 development with the EXPLORE44™ trial. Del-zota is specifically designed for people with mutations amenable to exon 44 skipping, or DMD44, and is the first of multiple AOCs we are developing for DMD. Del-desiran, del-brax and del-zota have all been granted Orphan Designation by the FDA and the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, and Fast Track Designation by the FDA. In addition, in May 2024, the FDA granted del-desiran Breakthrough Therapy designation for the treatment of DM1, and in February 2024, the FDA granted del-zota Rare Pediatric Disease designation.

We have reported data from each of our three clinical trials of AOC product candidates in 2024. In August 2024, we reported initial data from the 5 mg/kg cohort of our EXPLORE44 trial in people living with DMD44. These data demonstrated consistent delivery of PMO in skeletal muscle, an increase of dystrophin production of 25% of normal and an increase of 37% in exon 44 skipping. In addition, del-zota showed greater than 80% reduction of creatine kinase compared to baseline in people living with DMD44. The initial assessment from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled EXPLORE44 trial assessed the safety and tolerability for 25 participants across two dose levels (5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg). Del-zota demonstrated favorable safety and

Table of Contents

tolerability, with most treatment emergent adverse events (AEs) mild or moderate in participants with DMD44. Two participants discontinued from the study: one due to a serious adverse event of anaphylaxis which fully resolved and one due to moderate infusion related reaction. For the 5 mg/kg cohort, participants received three doses of 5 mg/kg of del-zota, or placebo, every six weeks. Avidity plans to enroll additional patients in the EXPLORE44 Open-Label Extension (OLE) for del-zota.

In June 2024, we shared initial del-brax data from our FORTITUDE™ trial in people living with FSHD which demonstrated consistent reductions of greater than 50% in double homeobox 4, or DUX4 regulated genes, trends of functional improvement, and favorable safety and tolerability in people living with FSHD as of the May 2024 data cutoff. The initial assessment from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled FORTITUDE™ trial of del-brax provided a four-month look at the safety and tolerability for all 39 participants across two dose levels (2 mg/kg and 4 mg/kg). We plan to accelerate initiation of registrational cohorts in the FORTITUDE™ study, with the biomarker cohort planned in the second half of 2024 and the functional cohort planned in the first half of 2025.

We also initiated and began administration of del-desiran in people living with DM1 in our global Phase 3 HARBOR™ trial in June 2024. In March 2024, we shared new long-term del-desiran data from our ongoing MARINA-OLE™ trial in people living with DM1 showing reversal of disease progression across multiple endpoints including myotonia, muscle strength and patient reported activities of daily living over one year compared to a matched population from the END-DM1 natural history study. With over 265 infusions totaling 61.1 patient-years of exposure as of the January 2024 data cutoff, del-desiran has demonstrated favorable long-term safety and tolerability.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, we plan to announce our lead precision cardiology program target.

We continue to advance and expand our internal discovery pipeline with the addition of new research and development candidates to treat conditions in skeletal muscle and precision cardiology. We are well positioned as we build an integrated global biopharmaceutical company and continue to deliver on the RNA revolution. In addition to our own internal research programs, we continue to explore the full potential of our AOC platform through collaborations and partnerships, including programs in immunology, cardiology and other select indications outside of muscle.

Since our inception in 2012, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, developing our proprietary AOC platform, identifying potential product candidates, establishing our intellectual property portfolio, conducting research, preclinical and clinical studies, and providing other general and administrative support for these operations. We have not generated any revenue from product sales. In June 2020, we completed our initial public offering, or IPO, and have since raised capital through additional public offerings, private placements, sales agreements, and under collaboration and research service agreements. Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further information on the capital raised since inception and our future capital requirements.

We have incurred operating losses in each year since inception. Our net losses were $212.2 million and $174.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $139.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $710.4 million. We expect our expenses and operating losses will increase substantially as we conduct our ongoing and planned preclinical studies and clinical trials, continue our research and development activities, utilize third parties to manufacture our product candidates and related raw materials, hire additional personnel and protect our intellectual property. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of our preclinical studies and clinical trials and our expenditures on other research and development activities, as well as the generation of any collaboration and services revenue.

Based upon our current operating plans, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $1.3 billion (as of June 30, 2024) will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least 12 months from the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. While we may generate revenue under our current and/or future collaboration agreements, we do not expect to generate any revenues from product sales until we successfully complete development and obtain regulatory approval for one or more of our product candidates, which we expect will take a number of years and may never occur. If we obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Accordingly, until such time as we can generate significant revenue from sales of our product candidates, if ever, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses and other arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed, on

favorable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Research Collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb

In November 2023, we entered into (i) a Research Collaboration and License Agreement, or the BMS Collaboration Agreement, with Bristol Myers Squibb Company, or BMS, to expand on our research with MyoKardia for up to five targets utilizing our proprietary AOC platform technology and (ii) a Securities Purchase Agreement with BMS, or the BMS Purchase Agreement, for the purchase by BMS in a private placement of 5,075,304 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $7.8813 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $40 million. We refer to the BMS Collaboration Agreement and the BMS Purchase Agreement together as the "BMS Agreements." Under the terms of the BMS Agreements, we received approximately $100 million upfront, which includes a $60 million cash payment under the terms of the BMS Collaboration Agreement, and approximately $40 million for the purchase of our common stock under the terms of the BMS Purchase Agreement. We are also eligible to receive up to approximately $1.35 billion in research and development milestone payments, up to approximately $825 million in commercial milestone payments, and tiered royalties from high single digits to low double-digits on net sales. We are responsible for our own research collaboration costs incurred under the agreement, subject to a cumulative spending limit of $40 million. BMS will fund all future clinical development, regulatory and commercialization activities coming from this collaboration.

Research Collaboration and License Agreement with Eli Lilly and Company

In April 2019, we entered into a Research Collaboration and License Agreement, or the Lilly Agreement, with Eli Lilly and Company, or Lilly, for the discovery, development and commercialization of AOC products in immunology and other select indications on a worldwide basis. Under the Lilly Agreement, we and Lilly will collaborate on preclinical research and discovery activities for such products, with Lilly being responsible for funding the cost of such activities by both parties. Lilly will also lead the clinical development, regulatory approval and commercialization of all such products, at its sole cost. We granted Lilly an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license, with the right to sublicense, under our technology to research, develop, manufacture, and sell products containing AOCs that are directed to up to six mRNA targets. We retain the right to use our technology to perform our obligations under the agreement and for all purposes not granted to Lilly. Lilly paid us an upfront license fee of $20.0 million in 2019, and we are eligible to receive up to $60.0 million in development milestone payments per target, up to $140.0 million in regulatory milestone payments per target and up to $205.0 million in commercialization milestone payments per target. We are eligible to receive a tiered royalty ranging from the mid-single to low-double digits from Lilly on worldwide annual net sales of licensed products, subject to specified and capped reductions for the market entry of biosimilar products, loss of patent coverage of licensed products and for payments owed to third parties for additional rights necessary to commercialize licensed products in the territory.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Our revenue to date has been derived from payments received under research collaboration and license agreements. For the foreseeable future, we may generate revenue from a combination of upfront payments, milestone payments and reimbursement of services under our current and/or future collaboration agreements. We do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products unless and until such time that our product candidates have advanced through clinical development and regulatory approval, if ever. We expect that any revenue we generate, if at all, will fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter as a result of the timing and amount of payments relating to such services and milestones and the extent to which any of our products are approved and successfully commercialized. If we fail to complete preclinical and clinical development of product candidates or obtain regulatory approval for them, our ability to generate future revenues and our results of operations and financial position would be adversely affected.

Table of Contents

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist of external and internal costs associated with our research and development activities, including our discovery and research efforts, and the preclinical and clinical development of our product candidates. Our research and development expenses include:

•external costs, including expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, such as contract research organizations, contract manufacturers, consultants and our scientific advisors; and

•internal costs, including;

◦employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation;

◦the costs of laboratory supplies and acquiring, developing and manufacturing preclinical study materials; and

◦facilities, information technology and depreciation, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and depreciation of leasehold improvements and equipment.

Research and development costs, including costs reimbursed under the Lilly Agreement, are expensed as incurred, with reimbursements of such amounts being recognized as revenue. We account for nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities as expenses when the service has been performed or when the goods have been received.

At any one time, we are working on multiple programs. Our internal resources, employees and infrastructure are not directly tied to any one research or drug discovery program and are typically deployed across multiple programs.

We expect our research and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to conduct our ongoing research and development activities, advance our preclinical research programs toward clinical development, including conducting IND-enabling studies, and conduct clinical trials. The process of conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. We may never succeed in achieving marketing approval for any of our product candidates.

The timelines and costs associated with research and development activities are uncertain, can vary significantly for each product candidate and development program, and are difficult to predict. We anticipate we will make determinations as to which programs to pursue and how much funding to direct to each program on an ongoing basis in response to preclinical and clinical results, regulatory developments, ongoing assessments as to each program’s commercial potential, and our ability to maintain or enter into new collaborations, to the extent we determine the resources or expertise of a collaborator would be beneficial for a given program. We will need to raise substantial additional capital in the future. In addition, we cannot forecast which development programs may be subject to future collaborations, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements.

Our development costs may vary significantly based on factors such as:

•the number and scope of clinical, preclinical and IND-enabling studies;

•the timing and likelihood of resolution of the partial clinical hold on del-desiran;

•per patient trial costs;

•the number of trials required for approval;

•the number of sites included in the trials;

•the countries in which the trials are conducted;

•the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;

•the number of patients that participate in the trials;

•the number of doses that patients receive;

•the drop-out or discontinuation rates of patients;

•potential additional safety monitoring requested by regulatory agencies;

•the duration of patient participation in the trials and follow-up;

•the cost and timing of manufacturing our product candidates;

•the phase of development of our product candidates; and

•the efficacy and safety profile of our product candidates.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, for employees in our executive, finance, accounting, legal, business development and support functions. Other general and administrative expenses include allocated facility, information technology and depreciation related costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses, and professional fees for auditing, tax, intellectual property, and legal services. Costs related to filing and pursuing patent applications are recognized as general and administrative expenses as incurred since recoverability of such expenditures is uncertain.

We expect our general and administrative expenses will increase for the foreseeable future to support our increased research and development activities and other corporate activities.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.

Research and development expenses increased by $21.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to increased external costs associated with the progression of clinical trials and preclinical studies, including $5.3 million in higher manufacturing costs related to drug product and a $6.8 million out of period adjustment which decreased external research and development expenses in the prior year period, as well as higher internal costs including $4.6 million in higher personnel costs. Similarly, research and development costs increased by $40.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, due to increased external costs associated with the progression of clinical trials and preclinical studies, including $20.8 million in higher manufacturing cost related to drug product and a $3.6 million out of period adjustment which decreased external research and development expenses in the prior year period for costs incurred prior to 2023, as well as higher internal costs including an increase of $7.9 million in personnel costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to $5.1 million in higher personnel costs and $1.5 million in higher professional fees to support our expanded operations. Similarly, general and administrative expenses increased by $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to $7.6 million in higher personnel costs and $0.7 million in higher professional fees to support our expanded operations.

Other Income

Other income increased by $6.2 million and $9.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively, due to higher interest income earned on marketable securities investments and cash and cash equivalent balances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

On November 8, 2022, we entered into a sales agreement, or the 2022 Sales Agreement, with Cowen and Company, LLC, or the 2022 Sales Agent, which has since been terminated, as discussed below. Under the

Table of Contents

2022 Sales Agreement, we could, from time to time, sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million through the 2022 Sales Agent. Sales of the shares of common stock, if any, would be made at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, or as otherwise agreed with the 2022 Sales Agent. We were not obligated to sell, and the 2022 Sales Agent was not obligated to buy or sell, any shares of common stock under the 2022 Sales Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we sold 418,408 and 4,107,810 shares of our common stock, respectively, pursuant to the 2022 Sales Agreement and received net proceeds of $5.6 million and $60.5 million, respectively, after deducting offering-related transaction costs and commissions.

On March 4, 2024, we completed a private placement of 15,224,773 shares of our common stock at a price of $16.50 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate 9,030,851 shares of our common stock at a price of $16.499 per pre-funded warrant. The net proceeds from the private placement were $379.8 million after deducting placement fees and offering costs of $20.4 million. Each pre-funded warrant has an exercise price of $0.001 per share of common stock, is immediately exercisable, and does not expire.

On August 9, 2024, we entered into a new sales agreement, or the 2024 Sales Agreement, with TD Securities (USA) LLC, (the 2024 Sales Agent), with substantially similar terms as the 2022 Sales Agreement described above. Under the 2024 Sales Agreement, we may, from time to time, sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $400 million through the 2024 Sales Agent. We are not obligated to sell, and the 2024 Sales Agent is not obligated to buy or sell, any shares of common stock under the 2024 Sales Agreement. Upon entry into the 2024 Sales Agreement, the 2022 Sales Agreement was terminated.

Since our inception through June 30, 2024, other significant sources of capital raised to fund our operations were comprised of $274.1 million from our IPO, $378.9 million from follow-on public offerings, $140.6 million of net proceeds under a previous sales agreement, aggregate gross proceeds of $131.6 million from the sale and issuance of convertible preferred stock and convertible notes, and $144.6 million from funding under collaboration and research services agreements, including approximately $40.0 million related to the sale of shares of common stock in November 2023 to BMS in a private placement.

Future Capital Requirements

As of June 30, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $1.3 billion. Based upon our current operating plans, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least 12 months from the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could deplete our capital resources sooner than we expect. Additionally, the process of conducting preclinical studies and testing product candidates in clinical trials is costly, and the timing of progress and expenses in these studies and trials is uncertain.

Our future capital requirements are difficult to forecast and will depend on many factors, including but not limited to:

•the type, number, scope, progress, expansions, results, costs, and timing of discovery, preclinical studies, and clinical trials of our product candidates that we are pursuing or may choose to pursue in the future;

•the costs and timing of manufacturing for our product candidates and preparation for possible commercial operations if any product candidate is approved;

•the costs, timing, and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;

•the terms and timing of establishing and maintaining collaborations, licenses and other arrangements;

•the costs of obtaining, maintaining, and enforcing our patents and other intellectual property rights;

Table of Contents

•the costs associated with hiring additional personnel and consultants as our preclinical and clinical activities, and preparation for future commercial activities, if any, increase;

•the timing and amount of the milestone or other payments made to us under our existing and any future collaboration agreements;

•the costs and timing of establishing or securing sales and marketing capabilities if any product candidate is approved;

•our ability to achieve sufficient market acceptance, coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors and adequate market share and revenue for any approved products; and

•costs associated with any products or technologies that we may in-license or acquire.

While we may generate revenue under our current and/or future collaboration agreements, we do not expect to generate any revenues from product sales until we successfully complete development and obtain regulatory approval for one or more of our product candidates, which we expect will take a number of years and may never occur. If we obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution. Accordingly, until such time as we can generate significant revenue from sales of our product candidates, if ever, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings, or other capital sources, including current and potential future collaborations, licenses and other arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed, on favorable terms or at all. In addition, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce, or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented (in thousands):


	Six Months Ended June 30,				Change
	2024		2023
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	(135,384)	$	(98,774)	$	(36,610)
Investing activities	(307,616)		(149,631)		(157,985)

Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	393,169	$	(186,472)	$	579,641

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities of $135.4 million and $98.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, consisted primarily of cash used to fund our operations related to the development of clinical trials, preclinical studies, and other programs. The increase is due to increased research and development costs as well as general and administrative expenses as described under “Results of Operations” above.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $307.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted primarily of $514.1 million for purchases of marketable securities and reinvestment of proceeds from matured marketable securities as well as $1.4 million in purchases of property and equipment, offset by $207.9 million of proceeds from maturities of marketable securities. Net cash used in investing activities of $149.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted of $275.4 million for purchases of marketable securities due to investing the proceeds from the sale of common stock of $223.8 million in December 2022 and reinvestment of

Table of Contents

proceeds from matured marketable securities, and $2.4 million in purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by $128.2 million of proceeds from maturities of marketable securities.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of $836.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted primarily of $677.3 million in net proceeds from sales of our common stock, $141.4 million in net proceeds from the sale of pre-funded warrants in a private placement, and $17.5 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock under employee incentive equity plans. Net cash provided by financing activities of $61.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted primarily of net proceeds from sales of our common stock made pursuant to the 2022 Sales Agreement.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of these condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. As of June 30, 2024, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates,” included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

In April 2024, the Company entered into a sublease agreement to rent office and laboratory space for the Company's future corporate headquarters. Total aggregate future lease commitments under the sublease agreement are approximately $72.6 million. Refer to Note 7, "Commitments and Contingencies" to our condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for further details. Except for the sublease agreement, as of June 30, 2024, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business to the contractual obligations we reported in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Contractual Obligations and Commitments,” included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of June 30, 2024, there have been no material changes in our market risk from that described in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, 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 such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.

As disclosed in Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024, we previously identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to segregation of duties over certain information technology general controls (ITGCs) related to a module within our enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. These ITGCs were not operating effectively to (i) restrict access to certain data and the ability to make changes thereto, and (ii) to monitor changes to such data. While the control deficiency identified did not result in any misstatements, a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements and disclosures would not have been prevented or detected on a timely basis. Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, our management believes the unaudited Condensed Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with GAAP.

Remediation

Our management is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment. As discussed above and disclosed in Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024, we have changed the relevant access to address the known segregation of duties issues and will update our access review controls to include additional procedures. While we believe the actions taken thus far are substantive in addressing this control issue, we will consider this remediated once applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has

Table of Contents

concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We will continue to monitor through testing the effectiveness of these actions to ensure these controls continue to operate effectively.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings or subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Regardless of the outcome, such proceedings or claims can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of resources and other factors, and there can be no assurances that favorable outcomes will be obtained.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024. The risk factors described in such reports are not the only risks we face. Factors that are not currently known to us, factors that we currently consider immaterial or factors that are not specific to us, such as general economic conditions, may also materially adversely affect our business or financial condition.

2022 ATM Offering

On November 8, 2022, we entered into a sales agreement, or the 2022 Sales Agreement, with Cowen and Company, LLC, or the 2022 Sales Agent, pursuant to which we could, from time to time, sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million through the 2022 Sales Agent, as our agent, or the 2022 ATM Offering. In connection with the 2022 ATM Offering, we filed a prospectus supplement, dated November 8, 2022, or the 2022 ATM Prospectus, to the prospectus, dated July 2, 2021, filed with a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-257691), which became automatically effective upon filing with the SEC on July 2, 2021. In connection with the 2024 Sales Agreement, effective August 9, 2024, we terminated the 2022 Sales Agreement, and we have discontinued all offers and sales of shares of our common stock under the 2022 Sales Agreement and the 2022 ATM Prospectus. Between November 8, 2022 and August 9, 2024, we sold an aggregate of 4,526,218 shares of common stock pursuant to the 2022 Sales Agreement for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $67.7 million.

2024 ATM Offering

On August 9, 2024, we entered into a sales agreement, or the 2024 Sales Agreement, with TD Securities (USA) LLC, or the 2024 Sales Agent, pursuant to which we may, from time to time, sell shares of our common stock, or the ATM Shares, having an aggregate offering price of up to $400 million through the 2024 Sales Agent, as our agent.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2024 Sales Agreement, the 2024 Sales Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the ATM Shares from time to time, based upon our instructions. We have provided the 2024 Sales Agent with customary indemnification rights, and the 2024 Sales Agent will be entitled to a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price of the ATM Shares sold through it pursuant to the 2024 Sales Agreement.

We will offer and sell the ATM Shares pursuant to an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-279264), which became automatically effective upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on May 9, 2024. We will file a prospectus supplement with the SEC in connection with the offer and sale of up to $400 million of ATM Shares pursuant to the 2024 Sales Agreement on August 9, 2024.

The ATM Shares may be offered only by means of a prospectus forming a part of the effective registration statement. Sales of the ATM Shares, if any, under the 2024 Sales Agreement may be made in transactions that are deemed to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made by means of ordinary brokers' transactions, including on The Nasdaq Global Market, at market prices, or as otherwise agreed with the 2024 Sales Agent. We have no obligation to sell any of the ATM Shares, and may at any time suspend offers under the 2024 Sales Agreement or terminate the 2024 Sales Agreement.

The foregoing description of the 2024 Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full 2024 Sales Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Table of Contents

A copy of the opinion of Latham & Watkins LLP relating to the validity of the securities to be issued pursuant to the 2024 Sales Agreement is filed hereto as Exhibit 5.1.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not constitute an offer to sell the ATM Shares or a solicitation of an offer to buy the ATM Shares, nor shall there be any sale of the ATM Shares in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Amended and Restated Employment Agreements

Effective August 6, 2024, the Human Capital Management Committee of our Board of Directors approved, and we entered into, amended and restated employment agreements with each of our executive officers, including Sarah Boyce, W. Michael Flanagan, Ph.D., Michael MacLean, John Moriarty, and Teresa McCarthy. The amended and restated employment agreements set forth, for each executive officer, his or her annual base salary and eligibility to receive an annual performance bonus.

Regardless of the manner in which the executive officers employment terminates, he or she is entitled to receive amounts previously earned during the executive officer’s employment. Additionally, in the event that the executive officer’s termination occurs after the occurrence of a change of control and after the conclusion of a calendar year in respect of which no annual bonus has yet been paid, the executive officer will be entitled to his or her annual bonus for such completed calendar year based on actual performance, paid when annual bonuses are paid to our employees generally.

In addition, the executive officers are each entitled to certain severance benefits under their respective amended and restated employment agreements, subject to their execution of a release of claims and compliance with post-termination obligations.

Under the amended and restated employment agreements, upon a termination without cause or resignation for good reason (as such terms are defined in the amended and restated employment agreements) outside of the Change of Control Period (as defined below), the executive officer is entitled to: (i) his or her base salary for a period of 12 months (or 18 months in the case of Ms. Boyce), and (ii) payment of the COBRA premiums for the applicable severance period.

Exhibit 10.2 AVIDITY BIOSCIENCES, INC. $400,000,000 COMMON STOCK SALES AGREEMENT August 9, 2024 TD Securities (USA) LLC 1 Vanderbilt Avenue New York, New York 10017 Ladies and Gentlemen: Avidity Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), confirms its agreement (this “Agreement”) with TD Securities (USA) LLC (“TD Cowen”), as follows: 1. Issuance and Sale of Placement Shares. The Company agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, it may issue and sell through TD Cowen, acting as agent and/or principal, shares (the “Placement Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $400,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitation set forth in this Section 1 on the number of shares of Common Stock issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company, and TD Cowen shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The issuance and sale of the Placement Shares through TD Cowen will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below) filed by the Company which became automatically effective under Rule 462(e) of the Securities Act (as defined below) upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), although nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Company to use the Registration Statement (as defined below) to issue the Placement Shares. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405) and the Placement Shares (as defined below) have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on such automatic shelf registration statement. The Company acknowledges and agrees that sales of Common Stock under this Agreement may be made through affiliates of TD Cowen and that TD Cowen may otherwise fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Agreement to or through an affiliated broker-dealer. For the avoidance of doubt, TD Cowen has a duty to fulfill all obligations under this Agreement. The Company has filed, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), with the Commission an automatic registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-279264), including a base prospectus, relating to certain securities, including the Common Stock, to be issued from time to time by the Company, and which incorporates by reference documents that the Company has filed or will file in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Exchange

- 2 - Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”). The Company has prepared a prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Placement Shares (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the base prospectus included as part of such registration statement. The Company shall furnish to TD Cowen, for use by TD Cowen, copies of the prospectus included as part of such registration statement, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement. Except where the context otherwise requires, such registration statement, and any post-effective amendment thereto, as amended when it becomes effective, including all documents filed as part thereof or incorporated by reference therein, and including any information contained in a Prospectus (as defined below) subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or deemed to be a part of such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B or 462(b) of the Securities Act, or any subsequent registration statement on Form S-3 filed pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act by the Company to cover any Placement Shares, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” The base prospectus, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, included in the Registration Statement, as it may be supplemented by any prospectus supplement, including the Prospectus Supplement, as applicable, in the form in which such prospectus, Prospectus Supplement or other prospectus supplement have most recently been filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, together with any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act regulations (“Rule 433), relating to the Placement Shares that (i) is consented to by TD Cowen, hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus,” (ii) is required to be filed with the Commission by the Company or (iii) is exempt from filing pursuant to Rule 433(d)(5)(i), in each case in the form filed or required to be filed with the Commission or, if not required to be filed, in the form retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g), is herein called the “Prospectus.” Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein, and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing after the execution hereof of any document with the Commission deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”). 2. Placements. Each time that the Company wishes to issue and sell the Placement Shares hereunder (each, a “Placement”), it will notify TD Cowen by email notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) (a “Placement Notice”) containing the parameters in accordance with which it desires the Placement Shares to be sold, which shall at a minimum include the number of Placement Shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of Placement Shares that may be sold in any one Trading Day (as defined in Section 3) and any minimum price below which sales may not be made, a form of which containing such minimum sales parameters necessary is attached hereto as Schedule 1. The Placement Notice shall originate from any of the individuals from the Company set forth on Schedule 2 (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Company listed on such schedule), and shall be addressed to each of the individuals from TD Cowen set forth on Schedule 2, as such Schedule 2 may be amended from time to time. The Placement Notice shall be effective upon receipt by TD Cowen unless and until (i) in accordance

- 3 - with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, TD Cowen declines to accept the terms contained therein for any reason, in its sole discretion, (ii) the entire amount of the Placement Shares have been sold, (iii) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, the Company suspends or terminates the Placement Notice for any reason in its sole discretion, (iv) the Company issues a subsequent Placement Notice with parameters superseding those on the earlier dated Placement Notice, or (v) this Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 11. The amount of any discount, commission or other compensation to be paid by the Company to TD Cowen in connection with the sale of the Placement Shares shall be calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule 3. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Company nor TD Cowen will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any Placement Shares unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to TD Cowen and TD Cowen does not decline such Placement Notice pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified therein and herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice, the terms of the Placement Notice will control. 3. Sale of Placement Shares by TD Cowen. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, upon the Company’s delivery of a Placement Notice, and unless the sale of the Placement Shares described therein has been declined, suspended, or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, TD Cowen or its affiliate, for the period specified in the Placement Notice, will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) to sell such Placement Shares up to the amount specified in such Placement Notice, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice. TD Cowen will provide written confirmation to the Company (including by email correspondence to each of the individuals of the Company set forth on Schedule 2, if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged by any of the individuals to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply) no later than the opening of the Trading Day (as defined below) immediately following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Placement Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Placement Shares sold on such day, the volume-weighted average price of the Placement Shares sold, and the Net Proceeds (as defined below) payable to the Company. In the event the Company engages TD Cowen for a sale of Placement Shares that would constitute a “block” within the meaning of Rule 10b-18(a)(5) under the Exchange Act (a “Block Sale”), the Company will provide TD Cowen, at TD Cowen’s request and upon reasonable advance notice to the Company, on or prior to the Settlement Date (as defined below), the opinions of counsel, accountant’s letter and officers’ certificates set forth in Section 8 hereof, each dated the Settlement Date, and such other documents and information as TD Cowen shall reasonably request. TD Cowen may sell Placement Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, including without limitation sales made through Nasdaq or on any other existing trading market for the Common Stock. TD Cowen shall not purchase Placement Shares for its own account as principal unless expressly authorized to do so by the Company in a Placement Notice. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that TD Cowen will be successful in selling Placement Shares, and (ii) TD Cowen will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Placement Shares for any reason other than a failure by TD Cowen to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Placement Shares as required under this Section 3.

- 4 - For the purposes hereof, “Trading Day” means any day on which the Company’s Common Stock is purchased and sold on the principal market on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not offer, sell or deliver, or request the offer or sale, of any Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement and, by notice to TD Cowen given by telephone (confirmed promptly by email), shall cancel any instructions for the offer or sale of any Placement Shares, and TD Cowen shall not be obligated to offer or sell any Placement Shares, (i) during any period in which the Company is, or could be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information, or (ii) at any time from and including the date on which the Company shall issue a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other results of operations (an “Earnings Announcement”) through and including the time that the Company files a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement. 4. Suspension of Sales. (a) The Company or TD Cowen may, upon notice to the other party in writing (including by email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 2, if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged by any of the individuals to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply) or by telephone (confirmed immediately by verifiable facsimile transmission or email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 2), suspend any sale of Placement Shares; provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair either party’s obligations with respect to any Placement Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. While a suspension is in effect, any obligation under Sections 7(m), 7(n) and 7(o) with respect to delivery of certificates, opinion, or comfort letters to TD Cowen shall be waived. Each of the parties agrees that no such notice under this Section 4 shall be effective against the other unless it is made to one of the individuals named on Schedule 2 hereto, as such schedule may be amended from time to time. (b) If either TD Cowen or the Company has reason to believe that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act are not satisfied with respect to the Common Stock, it shall promptly notify the other party, and TD Cowen may, at its sole discretion, suspend sales of the Placement Shares under this Agreement. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during any period in which the Registration Statement is not effective under the Securities Act, the Company shall promptly notify TD Cowen, the Company shall not request the sale of any Placement Shares, and TD Cowen shall not be obligated to sell or offer to sell any Placement Shares. 5. Settlement. (a) Settlement of Placement Shares. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Placement Notice, settlement for sales of Placement Shares will occur on the first (1st) Trading

- 5 - Day following the date on which such sales are made (each, a “Settlement Date” and the first such settlement date, the “First Delivery Date”). The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Company on a Settlement Date against receipt of the Placement Shares sold (the “Net Proceeds”) will be equal to the aggregate sales price received by TD Cowen at which such Placement Shares were sold, after deduction for (i) TD Cowen’s commission, discount or other compensation for such sales payable by the Company pursuant to Section 2 hereof, (ii) any other amounts due and payable by the Company to TD Cowen hereunder pursuant to Section 7(g) (Expenses) hereof, and (iii) any transaction fees imposed by any governmental or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales. (b) Delivery of Placement Shares. On or before each Settlement Date, the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Placement Shares being sold by crediting TD Cowen’s or its designee’s account (provided TD Cowen shall have given the Company written notice of such designee prior to the Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto which in all cases shall be freely tradeable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form. On each Settlement Date, TD Cowen will deliver the related Net Proceeds in same day funds to an account designated by the Company on, or prior to, the Settlement Date. The Company agrees that if the Company, or its transfer agent (if applicable), defaults in its obligation to deliver duly authorized Placement Shares on a Settlement Date through no fault of TD Cowen, the Company agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Section 9(a) (Indemnification and Contribution) hereto, it will (i) hold TD Cowen harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or reasonable and documented expense (including reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company and (ii) pay to TD Cowen (without duplication) any commission, discount, or other compensation to which it would otherwise have been entitled absent such default. 6. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, TD Cowen that as of (i) the date of this Agreement, (ii) each Time of Sale (as defined below), (iii) each Settlement Date, and (iv) each Bring-Down Date (as defined below) (each date included in (i) through (iv), a “Representation Date”): (a) Compliance with Registration Requirements.

The Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, as of its date, did not and, as of each Representation Date, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (to the extent any such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus was required to be filed with the Commission) delivered to TD Cowen for use in connection with the public offering of the Placement Shares contemplated herein have been and will be identical to the versions of such documents transmitted to the Commission for filing via EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(g) WKSI. (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (iii) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) under the Securities Act) made any offer relating to the Placement Shares in reliance on

- 7 - the exemption of Rule 163 under the Securities Act, and (iv) as of the time of any Placement, the Company was and is a “well known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405; the Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405, that has become or became effective automatically not more not more than three (3) years prior to the date of any Placement and the Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act objecting to use of the automatic shelf registration statement form; and the Company has not otherwise ceased to be eligible to use the automatic shelf registration form. (h) The Sales Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and is a valid and binding agreement of, the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as rights to indemnification hereunder may be limited by applicable law and except as the enforcement hereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general equitable principles. (i) Authorization of the Common Stock. The Placement Shares, when issued and delivered, will be duly authorized for issuance and sale pursuant to this Agreement and, when issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor pursuant to this Agreement, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance, security interest or other claim, and the issuance and sale of the Placement Shares by the Company is not subject to preemptive or other similar rights arising by operation of law, under the organizational documents of the Company or under any agreement to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, each a “Subsidiary”) is a party or otherwise. (j) No Applicable Registration or Other Similar Rights.

Each Subsidiary of the Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation or other legal entity in good standing (or the foreign equivalent thereof) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity to transact business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to (i) have, singly or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, properties, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity,

- 8 - results of operations or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (ii) impair in any material respect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate any transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Prospectus (any such effect as described in clauses (i) or (ii), a “Material Adverse Effect”).

All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and have been issued in compliance with federal and state securities laws. None of the outstanding shares of Common Stock were issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company.

- 19 - upon filing is deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or Prospectus, except for those documents available via EDGAR; (iv) the Company will cause each amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, other than documents incorporated by reference, to be filed with the Commission as required pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act, and (v) prior to the termination of this Agreement, the Company will notify TD Cowen if at any time the Registration Statement shall no longer be effective as a result of the passage of time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or otherwise. (b) Notice of Commission Stop Orders. The Company will advise TD Cowen, promptly after it receives notice or obtains knowledge thereof, of the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, of the suspension of the qualification of the Placement Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose; and it will promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such a stop order should be issued. (c) Delivery of Prospectus; Subsequent Changes. During any period in which a Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by TD Cowen under the Securities Act with respect to a pending sale of the Placement Shares, (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act), the Company will comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act, as from time to time in force, and to file on or before their respective due dates all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, 15(d) or any other provision of or under the Exchange Act. If during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if during such period it is necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act, the Company will promptly notify TD Cowen to suspend the offering of Placement Shares during such period and the Company will promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus (at the expense of the Company) so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; provided, that, the Company may delay the filing of any amendment or supplement, if in the judgment of the Company, it is in the best interest of the Company, during which time of delay of Cowen shall be under no obligation to make any sales of the Placement Shares hereunder. (d) Listing of Placement Shares. During any period in which the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by TD Cowen under the Securities Act with respect to a pending sale of the Placement Shares (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act), the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Placement Shares to be listed on Nasdaq and to qualify the Placement Shares for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as TD Cowen reasonably designates and to continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Placement Shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation or dealer in securities or file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

The Company will furnish to TD Cowen and its counsel (at the expense of the Company) copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference therein) and all amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus that are filed with the Commission during any period in which a Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (including all documents filed with the Commission during such period that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein), in each case as soon as reasonably practicable and in such quantities as TD Cowen may from time to time reasonably request and, at TD Cowen’s request, will also furnish copies of the Prospectus to each exchange or market on which sales of the Placement Shares may be made; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to furnish any document (other than the Prospectus) to TD Cowen to the extent such document is available on EDGAR. (f) Earnings Statement. The Company will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 15 months after the end of the Company’s current fiscal quarter, an earnings statement covering a 12-month period that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) and Rule 158 of the Securities Act. (g) Expenses.

During the pendency of any Placement Notice given hereunder, and for 5 trading days following the termination of any Placement Notice given hereunder, the Company shall provide TD Cowen notice as promptly as reasonably practicable before it offers to sell, contracts to sell, sells, grants any option to sell or otherwise disposes of any shares of Common Stock (other than Placement Shares offered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire Common Stock; provided, that such notice shall not be required

- 21 - in connection with the (i) issuance, grant or sale of Common Stock, options to purchase shares of Common Stock or Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options or other equity awards pursuant to any stock option, stock bonus or other stock plan or arrangement described in the Prospectus, (ii) adopt a new equity incentive plan, and file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register the offer and sale of securities to be issued pursuant to such new equity incentive plan, and issue securities pursuant to such new equity incentive plan (including, without limitation, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of options or other securities issued pursuant to such new equity incentive plan), provided that such new equity incentive plan satisfies the transaction requirements of General Instruction A.1 of Form S-8 under the Securities Act, (iii) issue shares of Common Stock in connection with a licensing agreement, joint venture, acquisition or business combination or other collaboration or strategic transaction (including the filing of a registration statement on Form S-4 or other appropriate form with respect thereto), provided that the sum of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock so issued shall not exceed 5% of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following the completion of such issuance, (iv) the issuance or sale of Common Stock pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan that the Company may adopt from time to time provided the implementation of such is disclosed to TD Cowen in advance or (v) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exchange, conversion or redemption of securities or the exercise of warrants, options or other rights in effect or outstanding. (j) Change of Circumstances. The Company will, at any time during a fiscal quarter in which the Company intends to tender a Placement Notice or sell Placement Shares, advise TD Cowen promptly after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of any information or fact that would alter or affect in any material respect any opinion, certificate, letter or other document provided to TD Cowen pursuant to this Agreement. (k) Due Diligence Cooperation. The Company will cooperate with any reasonable due diligence review conducted by TD Cowen or its agents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, providing information and making available documents and senior corporate officers, during regular business hours and at the Company’s principal offices, as TD Cowen may reasonably request. (l) Required Filings Relating to Placement of Placement Shares. The Company agrees that on such dates as the Securities Act shall require, the Company will (i) file a prospectus supplement with the Commission under the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act and (ii) deliver such number of copies of each such prospectus supplement to each exchange or market on which such sales were effected as may be required by the rules or regulations of such exchange or market. The Company shall disclose in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and in its annual report on Form 10-K, the number of the Placement Shares sold through TD Cowen under this Agreement, the gross proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Placement Shares and the average price of the Placement Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement during the relevant quarter or, in the case of an Annual Report on Form 10-K, during the fiscal year covered by such Annual Report and the fourth quarter of such fiscal year. (m) Bring-Down Dates; Certificate. On or prior to the First Delivery Date and each time (i) the Company files the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares or amends or

- 22 - supplements the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares (other than a prospectus supplement filed in accordance with Section 7(l) of this Agreement) by means of a post-effective amendment, sticker, or supplement but not by means of incorporation of document(s) by reference to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares; (ii) the Company files an annual report on Form 10-K under the Exchange Act; (iii) the Company files its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act; or (iv) the Company files a report on Form 8-K containing amended financial information (other than an earnings release) under the Exchange Act (each date of filing of one or more of the documents referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) shall be a “Bring-Down Date”); the Company shall furnish TD Cowen with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(m) within one (1) Trading Day of any Bring-Down Date if requested by TD Cowen. The requirement to provide a certificate under this Section 7(m) shall be waived for any Bring-Down Date occurring at a time at which no Placement Notice is pending, which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date the Company delivers a Placement Notice hereunder (which for such calendar quarter shall be considered a Bring-Down Date) and the next occurring Bring-Down Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Placement Shares following a Bring-Down Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not provide TD Cowen with a certificate under this Section 7(m), then before the Company delivers the Placement Notice or TD Cowen sells any Placement Shares, the Company shall provide TD Cowen with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(m), dated the date of the Placement Notice. (n) Legal Opinion. On or prior to the First Delivery Date and within one (1) Trading Day of each Bring-Down Date with respect to which the Company is obligated to deliver a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(m) for which no waiver is applicable, the Company shall cause to be furnished to TD Cowen a written opinion of Latham & Watkins, LLP (“Company Counsel”), or other counsel satisfactory to TD Cowen, in form and substance satisfactory to TD Cowen and its counsel, dated the date that the opinion is required to be delivered, modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented; provided, however, that in lieu of such opinions for subsequent Bring-Down Dates, counsel may furnish TD Cowen with a letter (a “Reliance Letter”) to the effect that TD Cowen may rely on a prior opinion delivered under this Section 7(n) to the same extent as if it were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in such prior opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented at such Bring-Down Date). (o) Comfort Letter. On or prior to the First Delivery Date and within one (1) Trading Day of each Bring-Down Date with respect to which the Company is obligated to deliver a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(m) for which no waiver is applicable, the Company shall cause its independent accountants to furnish TD Cowen letters (the “Comfort Letters”), dated the date the Comfort Letter is delivered, in form and substance satisfactory to TD Cowen, (i) confirming that they are an independent registered public accounting firm within the meaning of the Securities Act and the PCAOB, (ii) stating, as of such date, the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters ordinarily covered by accountants’ “comfort letters” to TD Cowen in connection with registered public offerings (the first such letter, the “Initial Comfort Letter”) and (iii) updating the Initial Comfort Letter with any information that would have been included in the Initial Comfort Letter

- 23 - had it been given on such date and modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter; provided that the Company shall be required to furnish to Cowen no more than one Comfort Letter hereunder in connection with each filing of an annual report on Form 10-K or a quarterly report on Form 10- Q. (p) Market Activities. The Company will not, directly or indirectly, (i) take any action designed to cause or result in, or that constitutes or might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Placement Shares or (ii) sell, bid for, or purchase the Placement Shares to be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement, or pay anyone any compensation for soliciting purchases of the Placement Shares other than TD Cowen; provided, however, that the Company may bid for and purchase shares of its Common Stock in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. (q) Insurance. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as is reasonable and customary for the business for which it is engaged. (r) Compliance with Laws. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, all material environmental permits, licenses and other authorizations required by federal, state and local law in order to conduct their businesses as described in the Prospectus, and the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall conduct their businesses, or cause their businesses to be conducted, in substantial compliance with such permits, licenses and authorizations and with applicable Environmental Laws, except where the failure to maintain or be in compliance with such permits, licenses and authorizations could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. (s) Investment Company Act. The Company will conduct its affairs in such a manner so as to reasonably ensure that neither it nor its Subsidiaries will be or become, at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement, an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act, assuming no change in the Commission’s current interpretation as to entities that are not considered an investment company. (t) Securities Act and Exchange Act. The Company will use its best efforts to comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of, or dealings in, the Placement Shares as contemplated by the provisions hereof and the Prospectus. (u) No Offer to Sell. Other than a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, neither TD Cowen nor the Company (including its agents and representatives, other than TD Cowen in its capacity as such) will make, use, prepare, authorize, approve or refer to any written communication (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), required to be filed with the Commission, that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy Common Stock hereunder. (v) Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Company and its Subsidiaries will use their best efforts to comply with all effective applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

- 24 - (w) Affirmation. Each Placement Notice delivered by the Company to TD Cowen shall be deemed to be (i) an affirmation that the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained and contained in any certificate delivered to TD Cowen pursuant hereto are true and correct at the time of delivery of such Placement Notice, and (ii) an undertaking that such representations, warranties and agreements will be true and correct on any applicable Time of Sale and Settlement Date, as though made at and as of each such time (it being understood that such representations, warranties and agreements shall relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of such Placement Notice acceptance). (x) Renewal. If immediately prior to the third anniversary (the “Renewal Deadline”) of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement, the aggregate gross sales price of Placement Shares sold by the Company is less than the Maximum Amount and this Agreement has not expired or been terminated, the Company will, prior to the Renewal Deadline, file, if it has not already done so and is eligible to do so, a new shelf registration statement relating to the Placement Shares, in a form satisfactory to TD Cowen, and, if not automatically effective, will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 60 days after the Renewal Deadline. The Company will take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the issuance and sale of the Placement Shares to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating to the Placement Shares. References herein to the Registration Statement shall include such new shelf registration statement. 8. Conditions to TD Cowen’s Obligations. The obligations of TD Cowen hereunder with respect to a Placement Notice will be subject to the continuing accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties made by the Company herein, to the due performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, to the completion by TD Cowen of a due diligence review satisfactory to TD Cowen in its reasonable judgment, and to the continuing satisfaction (or waiver by TD Cowen in its sole discretion) of the following additional conditions: (a) Registration Statement Effective. The Registration Statement shall be effective and shall be available for (i) all sales of Placement Shares issued pursuant to all prior Placement Notices and (ii) the sale of all Placement Shares contemplated to be issued pursuant to any Placement Notice. (b) No Material Notices. None of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) receipt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any request for additional information from the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the response to which would require any post-effective amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Placement Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) the occurrence of any event that makes any material statement made in the Registration

- 25 - Statement or the Prospectus or any material document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, related Prospectus or such documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any materially untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any materially untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. (c) No Misstatement or Material Omission. TD Cowen shall not have advised the Company that the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, contains an untrue statement of fact that in TD Cowen’s reasonable opinion is material, or omits to state a fact that in TD Cowen’s reasonable opinion is material and is required to be stated therein or is necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(e) Company Counsel Legal Opinion. TD Cowen shall have received the opinion of Company Counsel required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7(n) on or before the date on which such delivery of such opinion is required pursuant to Section 7(n).

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless TD Cowen, its affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees and agents and each person, who (i) controls TD Cowen within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or (ii) is controlled by or is under common control with TD Cowen from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including, but not limited to, any and all reasonable and documented investigative, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any and all amounts paid in settlement (in accordance with Section 9(c)) of, any action, suit or proceeding between any of the indemnified parties and any indemnifying parties or between any indemnified party and any third party, or otherwise, or any claim asserted), as and when incurred, to which TD Cowen, or any such person, may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based, directly or indirectly, on (x) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any free writing prospectus or in any application or other document executed by

- 27 - or on behalf of the Company or based on written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Common Stock under the securities laws thereof or filed with the Commission, (y) the omission or alleged omission to state in any such document a material fact required to be stated in it or necessary to make the statements in it not misleading or (z) any breach by any of the indemnifying parties of any of their respective representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to the extent that such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage arises from the sale of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement and is caused directly or indirectly by an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with solely Agent’s Information. “Agent’s Information” means, solely, the following information in the Prospectus: the tenth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution”3 in the Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have. (b) TD Cowen Indemnification. TD Cowen agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors and each officer of the Company that signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 9(a), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendments thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agent’s Information. (c) Procedure. Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 9 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 9, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from (i) any liability that it might have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 9 and (ii) any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provision of this Section 9 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable and documented costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such

- 28 - counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (3) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (4) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. An indemnifying party will not, in any event, be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 9 (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding. (d) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 9 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable from the Company or TD Cowen, the Company and TD Cowen will contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the Company from persons other than TD Cowen, such as persons who control the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, officers of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and directors of the Company, who also may be liable for contribution) to which the Company and TD Cowen may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and TD Cowen on the other. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and TD Cowen on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total Net Proceeds from the sale of the Placement Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total compensation received by TD Cowen from the sale of Placement Shares on behalf of the Company. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and TD Cowen, on the other, with respect to the statements or omission that resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the

- 29 - untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or TD Cowen, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and TD Cowen agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 9(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense, or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 9(d) shall be deemed to include, for the purpose of this Section 9(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent consistent with Section 9(c) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(d), TD Cowen shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the commissions received by it under this Agreement and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9(d), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any officers, directors, partners, employees or agents of TD Cowen, will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 9(d), will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 9(d) except to the extent that the failure to so notify such other party materially prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party from whom contribution is sought. Except for a settlement entered into pursuant to the last sentence of Section 9(c) hereof, no party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to Section 9(c) hereof. 10. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 9 of this Agreement and all representations and warranties of the Company herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive, as of their respective dates, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of TD Cowen, any controlling persons, or the Company (or any of their respective officers, directors or controlling persons), (ii) delivery and acceptance of the Placement Shares and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement. 11. Termination. (a) TD Cowen shall have the right by giving notice as hereinafter specified at any time to terminate this Agreement if (i) any Material Adverse Effect, or any development that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect has occurred that, in the reasonable judgment of TD Cowen, may materially impair the ability of TD Cowen to sell the Placement Shares hereunder, (ii) the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform any agreement on its part to be performed hereunder, (iii) any other condition of TD

- 30 - Cowen’s obligations hereunder is not fulfilled, or (iv) any suspension or limitation of trading in the Placement Shares or in securities generally on Nasdaq shall have occurred. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(g) (Expenses), Section 9 (Indemnification and Contribution), Section 10 (Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery), Section 16 (Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction) and Section 17 (Waiver of Jury Trial) hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. If TD Cowen elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 11(a), TD Cowen shall provide the required notice as specified in Section 12 (Notices). (b) The Company shall have the right, by giving ten (10) days’ notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(g), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 17 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. (c) TD Cowen shall have the right, by giving ten (10) days’ notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(g), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 17 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. (d) Unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Section 11, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the issuance and sale of all of the Placement Shares through TD Cowen on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; provided that the provisions of Section 7(g), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 17 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. (e) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 11(a), (b), (c), or (d) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided, however, that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section 7(g), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 17 shall remain in full force and effect. (f) Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by TD Cowen or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Placement Shares, such Placement Shares shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 12. Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given by any party to any other party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, and if sent to TD Cowen, shall be delivered to TD Cowen at TD Securities (USA) LLC, 1 Vanderbilt Avenue, New York, NY 10017, fax no. 646-562- 1130, Attention: General Counsel, email: CIBLegal@tdsecurities.com, with a copy to Cooley LLP, e-mail: dgoldberg@cooley.com, attention: Daniel I.

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	Jun. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Description of Business Avidity Biosciences, Inc. (the Company or Avidity) is a biopharmaceutical company committed to delivering a new class of RNA therapeutics called Antibody Oligonucleotide Conjugates (AOCs). The Company’s proprietary AOC platform is designed to combine the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the precision of RNA therapeutics to target the root cause of diseases previously untreatable with such therapeutics. Liquidity To date, the Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to organizing and staffing the Company, business planning, raising capital, developing its proprietary AOC platform, identifying potential product candidates, establishing its intellectual property portfolio, conducting research, preclinical and clinical studies, and providing other general and administrative support for these operations. In addition, the Company has a limited operating history, has incurred operating losses since inception and expects that it will continue to incur net losses into the foreseeable future as it continues the development of its product candidates and development programs. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $710.4 million and cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $1.3 billion. The Company believes that existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations for at least 12 months from the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. The Company plans to finance its future cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses and other arrangements. If the Company is not able to secure adequate additional funding, it may be forced to make reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, and/or delay or reduce the scope of its planned development programs. Any of these actions could materially harm the Company’s business, results of operations and future prospects. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to a quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited interim condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented in these unaudited interim condensed financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods. These unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024. In December 2023, the Company formed Avidity Biosciences Ireland Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary (the Subsidiary). There were no operations in, nor assets and liabilities held by, the Subsidiary in any of the periods presented.

Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Litigation Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. There are no such matters currently outstanding for which liabilities have been accrued. Operating Lease In April 2024, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with Turning Point Therapeutics, Inc. to rent 105,000 square feet for office and laboratory space for the Company’s future corporate headquarters. The term of the sublease is approximately 9 years and 9 months with payments expected to begin in August 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the sublease agreement, the sublandlord will provide the Company with a tenant improvement allowance of up to $33.6 million. An additional tenant improvement allowance of up to $5.0 million is also available to be repaid in equal installments through monthly rent payments, subject to 8% interest per annum and annual increases of 3% per annum. The Company also has an option and a right of first refusal for an additional 80,000 square feet in an adjacent available building, which has not been exercised. Total aggregate future lease commitments under the sublease agreement are approximately $72.6 million, inclusive of 3% annual rent increases and various agreed upon rent abatement amounts. The sublease will be measured and recognized upon commencement of the sublease. As of June 30, 2024, the sublease had not commenced because construction of improvements to bring the facility to its intended use was not substantially complete. In connection with the sublease agreement, the Company is required to maintain a letter of credit for the benefit of the sublandlord in the amount of $2.5 million, which was delivered in April 2024 and is included in restricted cash in the Company’s condensed balance sheet.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Jun. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to a quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited interim condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented in these unaudited interim condensed financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods. These unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The Company’s condensed financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates in the Company’s condensed financial statements relate to revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, and accrued research and development costs. Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately materially differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Net Loss Per Share	Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, adjusted for the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding that are subject to repurchase or forfeiture. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding as inclusion of the common stock equivalent securities would be anti-dilutive. The pre-funded common stock warrants are included in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share as the exercise price of $0.001 per share is not substantive and the shares are issuable for little or no consideration.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which modifies the disclosure and presentation requirements of reportable segments. The amendments in the update require the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit and loss. The amendments also require disclosure of all other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. Additionally, the amendments require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Lastly, the amendment requires that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by ASU 2023-07 and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-07 will be applied retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its financial statements and accompanying notes. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of the income tax rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-09 can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its financial statements and accompanying notes.
