We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of our Annual Report and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance or achievements. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Quarterly Report or to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we reference in this Quarterly Report and have filed with the SEC with the understanding that our actual future results, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of the Business

Theseus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Theseus” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on improving the lives of cancer patients through the discovery, development and commercialization of transformative targeted therapies. The Company was incorporated in December 2017 under the laws of the State of Delaware, and its principal offices are in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative US GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the most recently audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Liquidity

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. The Company’s product candidates and development programs will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, the Company is unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses, or when or if the Company will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. Even if the Company is able to generate revenue from product sales, the Company may not become profitable. If the Company fails to become profitable or is unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, then the Company may be unable to continue its operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce or terminate its operations. The Company expects to incur substantial operating losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future.

In accordance with ASC 205-40, Going Concern, the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $141.6 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred a loss of $29.4 million and utilized $28.7 million of cash in operations. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $234.2 million at June 30, 2023 will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 9, 2023 (“Annual Report”). There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2023, except as noted below.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2023 and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates and judgments are based on historical information and other market-specific or various relevant assumptions, including in certain circumstances, future projections, that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, the accruals for research and development expenses.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Periodically, the Company maintains deposits in accredited financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company deposits its cash in financial institutions that it believes have high credit quality and have not experienced any losses on such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. Such deposits have and will continue to exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its cash deposits. The Company’s short-term and long-term marketable securities are invested in high grade securities with limited concentration in any one issuer, and as a result, the Company believes represent minimal credit risk.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which has been subsequently amended (“ASU 2016‑13”). This updated accounting guidance significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. ASU 2016-13 will require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses on trade receivables, loans and other financial instruments. This update is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2023, and the adoption had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3. Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s marketable securities, which may include both short-term and long-term marketable securities consisting of high-quality, marketable debt instruments of corporations are measured at fair value in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (in thousands):

Table of Contents

Common Stock

The Company was authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, as of June 30, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022, respectively. The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Company’s common stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and preference of the holders of any series of preferred stock.

Voting Rights

Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote.

Dividends

Subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available if and when the Board, in its discretion, determines to issue dividends. As of June 30, 2023, no cash dividends have been declared or paid.

Liquidation Rights

Upon the Company’s dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to stockholders are distributable ratably among holders of the Company’s common stock, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities, and the preferential rights and payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock.

11. Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plans

In September 2021, the Company adopted the Theseus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), which replaced the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) and allows for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and other types of equity awards. No further awards were made under the 2018 Plan as of the effective date of the 2021 Plan. Any options or awards outstanding under the 2018 Plan are governed by their existing terms. On the first day of each fiscal year of the Company during the term of the Plan, commencing on January 1, 2023 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2031, the aggregate number of Common Shares that may be issued under the Plan shall automatically increase by a number equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) of the total number of Common Shares actually issued and outstanding on the last day of the preceding fiscal year, or (b) a number of Common Shares determined by the Board. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance were 11,039,176 and 9,132,930 shares, respectively. Of those shares reserved for issuance, there were 1,762,637 and 1,843,494 shares available for future grant as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The 2021 Plan is administered by the Board (or its compensation committee), and the exercise prices, vesting and other restrictions for the awards are determined at the discretion of the Board, except that the exercise price per share of stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Stock options awarded under the 2021 Plan expire ten years after the grant date unless the Board sets a shorter term. Stock options and restricted stock units granted to employees and non-employees typically vest over four years. Shares of restricted common stock awards granted to employees, officers, members of the Board, advisors, and consultants of the Company typically vest over five years. Certain executives who are option holders are able to early exercise stock option awards prior to full satisfaction of the vesting conditions. If and when this occurs, the executive receives restricted common stock upon exercise of the option, and the shares remain subject to the Company’s right of repurchase, at exercise price, until the remaining vesting terms are met. During the year ended December 31, 2021, options to purchase 345,930 shares of common stock were exercised early. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company recognized $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, as a liability related to the early exercise. The amount of remaining unvested shares

Table of Contents

related to the early exercise as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were 158,552 and 201,793, respectively. There were no additional early exercises of options during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In September 2021, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"), which became effective on October 6, 2021. The number of shares of common stock initially reserved for issuance under the ESPP was 400,000. In addition, on the first day of each fiscal year of the Company during the term of the ESPP, commencing on January 1, 2023 and concluding on January 1, 2041, the aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP shall automatically increase by a number equal to the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of common stock actually issued and outstanding on the last day of the preceding fiscal year, and (ii) a number of shares of common stock determined by the Company’s board of directors. The ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at the end of each offering period at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock at the commencement date of each offering period or the relevant date of purchase. As of June 30, 2023, the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the ESPP is 730,682.

Stock Option Valuation

The assumptions that the Company used in Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant-date fair value of stock options granted are as follows:



	FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023	FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
Risk-free interest rate	3.54% - 3.99%	1.60% - 4.20%
Expected term (in years)	5.50 - 6.08	1.03 - 6.08
Expected volatility	88.04% - 89.15%	78.00% - 90.51%
Expected dividend yield	0%	0%

A summary of option activity under the 2021 Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2023, is as follows (in thousands except share, per share data and contractual terms):



	SHARES	WEIGHTED-AVERAGE PER-SHARE EXERCISE PRICE		WEIGHTED-AVERAGE REMAINING CONTRACTUAL TERM	AGGREGATE INTRINSIC VALUE
Outstanding as of December 31, 2022	7,257,786	$	5.95	8.58	$	10,751
Granted	1,690,130	11.21
Exercised	(17,880)	2.70
Forfeited	(6,361)	11.20
Outstanding as of June 30, 2023	8,923,675	$	6.95	8.38	30,181
Options vested and exercisable as of June 30, 2023	3,683,524	$	4.92	7.94	$	18,506

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the stock options and the fair value of the Company’s common stock for those stock options that had exercise prices lower than the fair value of the Company’s common stock.

The weighted-average per share grant date fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $8.47 and $7.29, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, there was $32.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options. The unrecognized stock-based compensation expense is estimated to be recognized over a period of 2.5 years as of June 30, 2023.

Table of Contents

Restricted Stock Units

The Company issues RSUs that generally vest over a four-year period with 25% of the RSUs vesting one year from the vesting commencement date, and the remainder vesting quarterly thereafter over the following 36 months. Any unvested shares underlying an RSU will be forfeited upon termination of services. The fair value of an RSU is equal to the fair market value price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

A summary of RSU activity during the six months ended June 30, 2023 is as follows:



	SHARES	WEIGHTED-AVERAGE PER-SHARE GRANT-DATE FAIR VALUE
Unvested shares at December 31, 2022	31,650	$	11.21
Granted	333,810	8.88
Forfeited	(2,720)	8.84
Vested and released	(9,876)	11.21
Unvested shares at June 30, 2023	352,864	$	9.02

As of June 30, 2023, there was $3.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs. The unrecognized stock-based compensation expense is estimated to be recognized over a period of 3.5 years as of June 30, 2023.

Shares of Restricted Common Stock

The Company issued shares of restricted common stock to its founders in May 2018, which vested monthly over five years through May 2023. At issuance, these shares also contained certain performance-based vesting criteria which were associated with the milestone events applicable to the formerly outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock, two of which were achieved in 2020. In conjunction with the termination of the Series A preferred stock purchase agreement, the final performance-based vesting criteria was waived, leaving only service-based vesting criteria remaining for the founders’ shares through the end of the requisite service period. As noted above, certain executives who are option holders are able to early exercise stock option awards prior to full satisfaction of the vesting conditions. If and when such exercise occurs, the executive receives shares of restricted common stock. Early exercise shares are included in the table below.

A summary of restricted common stock activity during the six months ended June 30, 2023 is as follows:



	SHARES	WEIGHTED-AVERAGE PER-SHARE GRANT-DATE FAIR VALUE
Unvested shares at December 31, 2022	311,825	$	3.96
Vesting of restricted common stock	(153,273)	2.20
Unvested shares at June 30, 2023	158,552	$	5.67

As of June 30, 2023, there was $0.9 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted common stock. The unrecognized stock-based compensation expense is estimated to be recognized over a period of 1.8 years as of June 30, 2023.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Total stock-based compensation expense recorded as research and development and general and administrative expenses, respectively, for employees, directors and non-employees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was as follows (in thousands):


	THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,				SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,

12. Income Taxes

Income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 have been calculated based on an estimated annual effective tax rate and certain discrete items. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, no income tax was recorded, as the Company recognized losses and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The Company has never been examined by the Internal Revenue Service or any other jurisdiction for any tax years and, as such, all years within the applicable statutes of limitations are potentially subject to audit.

13. Net Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding (in thousands, except share and per share data):


	THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,				SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Numerator:
Net loss	$	(14,805)	$	(11,649)	$	(29,391)	$	(22,146)
Net loss attributable to common stockholders - basic and diluted	$	(14,805)	$	(11,649)	$	(29,391)	$	(22,146)
Denominator:
Weighted-average common stock outstanding - basic and diluted	43,736,275		38,415,379		43,061,113		38,332,605
Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders - basic and diluted	$	(0.34)	$	(0.30)	$	(0.68)	$	(0.58)

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include preferred stock, unvested restricted common stock, unvested RSUs and stock options, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. The Company excluded the following from the computation of diluted net loss per

Table of Contents

share attributable to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:



	JUNE 30,
	2023	2022
Unvested restricted stock	158,552	558,289
Unvested RSUs	352,864	31,650
Options to purchase common stock	8,923,675	7,113,143
	9,435,091	7,703,082

14. Subsequent Event

On July 13, 2023, the Company announced its decision to discontinue enrollment in the ongoing phase 1/2 clinical trial of THE-630 and terminate development of THE-630 in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors. As a result of its decision, the Company estimates that it will incur approximately $0.6 million in incremental costs in connection with the discontinuation of the study including termination of vendor contracts and contingent liabilities. Also, following the announcement, the Company had a reduction in workforce which resulted in $0.6 million in severance costs. The incremental costs are expected to be incurred in the third quarter of 2023.

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

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, included in our Annual Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, and intentions. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of forward-looking statements and important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on improving the lives of cancer patients through the discovery, development and commercialization of transformative targeted therapies. Our product candidates and development programs are designed to address drug resistance mutations in key driver oncogenes, which are mutated genes that cause cancer. Resistance mutations limit the efficacy of existing targeted therapies by rendering tumor cells unresponsive to drugs, and therefore present a critical challenge in cancer treatment today. Our initial focus is on developing the next generation of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, or TKIs, and is rooted in the critical role that tyrosine kinases play in the development of cancer. Despite the commercial success of approved TKIs, the development of drug resistance is a persistent limitation, narrowing the number of effective treatment options available to patients as they progress through subsequent lines of therapy.

Our goal is to develop “pan-variant” kinase inhibitors—inhibitors that target all major cancer causing and drug resistance mutations in clinically significant protein kinases. We believe that truly pan-variant inhibitors are required to effectively inhibit the heterogeneous mix of resistance mutations found in patients, and may also suppress the emergence of new mutations when used in earlier lines of therapy. To develop such inhibitors, we deploy our novel predictive resistance assay, or PRA, a highly differentiated cell-based method for testing TKIs that we believe is predictive for “pan-ness”. We also employ structure-guided drug design, and, coupled with our PRA, we believe our approach has the potential to optimize molecules for pan-variant activity while maintaining selectivity and tolerability.

On July 13, 2023, we announced that we were discontinuing enrollment in the ongoing phase 1/2 study and terminating development of THE-630 in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors. We analyzed trial data to inform the feasibility of developing low dose THE-630 for KIT-associated mast cell-driven inflammatory indications. Based on the observed reductions in serum tryptase, a biomarker for mast cell activation, we are evaluating next steps for potential plans to explore doses of 9 mg and below in clinical studies in patients with mast cell-driven diseases, such as chronic urticaria.

Our lead product candidate is THE-349, a fourth-generation epidermal growth factor receptor, or EGFR, inhibitor for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC. THE-349 is designed to address on-target treatment resistance to existing EGFR inhibitors by targeting the common activating mutations in exons 19 and 21 alone or in combination with the most frequently observed resistance mutations, T790M and C797X. Preclinical characterization of THE-349 as central nervous system, or CNS active, and mutant-selective inhibitor with potent activity against single-, double-, and triple-mutant EGFR variants, including T790M and C797X, was shared in a poster presentation at the 34th EORTC-NCI-AACR, or ENA, Symposium in Barcelona on October 26-28, 2022. We have initiated Investigational New Drug, or IND-enabling studies, and expect to file an IND for this product candidate with the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2023 and initiate a first-in-human trial thereafter, assuming acceptance of our IND by the FDA. We plan to pursue initial clinical development of THE-349 as a monotherapy in patients with C797X-mediated resistance after treatment with osimertinib or another third-generation inhibitor. Assuming positive clinical data and subject to discussions with the FDA, we intend to expand into evaluation of combination treatment with other relevant modalities. If clinical data support, we would target a broader second-line patient population to address the unmet need of patients who have been previously treated with osimertinib or another third-generation inhibitor, but progress with either on-target or off-target resistance.

Our second program is a next-generation BCR-ABL TKI that we are designing to be potent, selective, and pan-variant—features that we believe would balance safety and efficacy—for patients with relapsed/refractory chronic myeloid leukemia, or CML, and Philadelphia chromosome-positive, or Ph+, acute lymphoblastic

Table of Contents

leukemia, or ALL. We expect to nominate a development candidate for this program in the first half of 2024, with the goal of pursuing clinical development in patients with CML who have been previously treated with a second-generation TKI or have the T315I mutation, and as a combination therapy for newly diagnosed patients with Ph+ ALL.

Our third program is a next-generation, highly selective pan-variant KIT inhibitor for the treatment of early-line GIST. We intend to nominate a development candidate for this program in the first half of 2024.

Since our inception in December 2017, our operations have focused on organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, establishing our intellectual property portfolio and performing research and development activities, including with respect to THE-630 and THE-349. We do not have any products approved for sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale and issuance of our preferred stock and common stock including the aggregate net offering proceeds raised in our initial public offering, or IPO, and the sale and issuance of our common stock pursuant to our at-the-market, or ATM Program. Upon the closing of the IPO, each outstanding share of our preferred stock automatically converted into one share of common stock.

We have incurred significant operating losses since inception. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more product candidates. Our net losses were $29.4 million and $22.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $141.6 million. We expect to continue to incur significant and increasing losses for the foreseeable future. We expect that our expenses and capital requirements will increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly if and as we:

•advance THE-349, our BCR-ABL program, our next-generation KIT program, and other compounds we may develop in the future from discovery through preclinical development and clinical trials;

•seek marketing approvals for any product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials;

•obtain, expand, maintain, defend and enforce our intellectual property portfolio;

•hire additional clinical, regulatory and scientific personnel;

•ultimately establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any products for which we may obtain marketing approval;

•establish agreements with contract research organizations, or CRO, and contract manufacturing organizations, or CMO; and

•add operational, legal, compliance, financial and management information systems and personnel to support our research, product development and future commercialization efforts, as well as to support our operations as a public company.

Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from period to period, depending on the timing of expenditures related to our research and development activities.

We will not generate revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete clinical development and obtain regulatory approval for a product candidate. In addition, if we obtain regulatory approval for a product candidate and do not enter into a third-party commercialization partnership, we expect to incur significant expenses related to developing our commercialization capability to support product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution activities.

As a result, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, which could include collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such arrangements when needed, on favorable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such agreements as, and when, needed, could have a material adverse effect on our

business, results of operations, and financial condition, including requiring us to have to delay, reduce or eliminate product development or future commercialization efforts.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with development of targeted oncology therapies, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when or if we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. Even if we are able to generate product sales, we may not become profitable. We will need to generate significant revenue to achieve profitability, and we may never do so. If we fail to become profitable or are unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, then we may be unable to continue our operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce or terminate our operations.

Additionally, we continue to actively monitor macroeconomic conditions and market volatility resulting from global economic developments, political unrest, high inflation, the recent failure of certain banks and financial institutions, and health crises such as COVID-19 pandemic. While we believe there has been no significant impact to our business or financial results during the periods presented, future developments and potential impacts on our business are uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $234.2 million. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital expenses into 2026. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. See section titled “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

We have not generated any revenue since our inception and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products or from other sources in the near future, if at all. If our development efforts for our product candidate, THE-349, our BCR-ABL program, and our next-generation KIT program, or any other product candidates that we may develop in the future are successful and result in marketing approval or if we enter into collaboration or license agreements with third parties, we may generate revenue in the future from a combination of product sales or payments from such collaboration or license agreements.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses account for a significant portion of our operating expenses and consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the discovery and preclinical development of our potential development candidates, and include:

•salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and other related costs for individuals involved in research and development activities;

•external research and development expenses incurred under agreements with CROs and consultants that conduct our preclinical studies and other scientific development services;

•costs incurred under agreements with CMOs for manufacturing material for our preclinical studies and planned clinical trials; and

•costs related to compliance with regulatory requirements.

We expense research and development costs as incurred. We recognize external development costs based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information provided to us by our vendors or our estimate of the level of service that has been performed at each reporting date. Payments for these external development activities are based on the terms of the individual agreements, which may differ from the pattern of costs incurred, and are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements as prepaid expenses or accrued expenses. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services to be received in the future for use in research and development activities are deferred and capitalized, even when there is no alternative future

Table of Contents

use for the research and development. The capitalized amounts are expensed as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed.

A significant portion of our research and development costs have been external costs, which we track after a clinical product candidate has been identified. We utilize third-party contractors for our research and development activities and CMOs for our manufacturing activities and we do not have our own laboratory or manufacturing facilities. Therefore, we have no material facilities expenses attributed to research and development. Our internal research and development costs are primarily personnel-related costs and other indirect costs.

Research and development activities are central to our business model. We expect that our research and development expenses will continue to increase for the foreseeable future as we advance clinical development of our product candidate, THE-349, and continue to discover and develop additional product candidates, expand our headcount and maintain, expand and enforce our intellectual property portfolio. If any product candidates enter into later stages of clinical development, they will generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. There are numerous factors associated with the successful development and commercialization of any product candidates we may develop in the future, including future trial design and various regulatory requirements, many of which cannot be determined with accuracy at this time based on our stage of development. Additionally, future commercial and regulatory factors beyond our control will impact our clinical development program and plans.

The successful development of our current product candidate, THE-349, or any product candidates we may develop in the future is highly uncertain. Therefore, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing and estimated costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the development and commercialization of THE-349 and any other product candidates we may develop. We are also unable to predict when, if ever, material net cash inflows will commence from the sale of any current or future product candidate, if approved. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, including the uncertainty of:

•the timing and progress of preclinical and clinical development activities;

•the number and scope of preclinical and clinical programs we decide to pursue;

•our ability to maintain our current research and development programs and to establish new programs;

•successful patient enrollment in, and the initiation and completion of, clinical trials;

•the successful completion of clinical trials with safety, tolerability and efficacy profiles that are satisfactory to the FDA or any comparable foreign regulatory authority;

•the timing, receipt and terms of any marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities;

•our ability to establish new licensing or collaboration arrangements;

•the performance of our future collaborators, if any;

•our ability to establish arrangements with third-party manufacturers for the clinical supply of our product candidates and commercial supply of products that receive marketing approval, if any;

•development and timely delivery of commercial-grade drug formulations that can be used in our planned clinical trials and for commercialization;

•obtaining, maintaining, defending and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

•commercializing product candidates, if approved, whether alone or in collaboration with others; and

•maintaining a continued acceptable safety profile of the product candidates following approval.

Table of Contents

Any changes in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of THE-349 or any other future product candidates in preclinical and clinical development could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of these product candidates. For example, if the FDA or another regulatory authority were to delay our planned start of clinical trials or require us to conduct clinical trials or other testing beyond those that we currently expect, or if we experience significant delays in enrollment in any clinical trials following the FDA’s acceptance and clearance of an IND application, we could be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time to complete clinical development than we currently expect. We may never obtain regulatory approval for any product candidates that we develop.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expenses for personnel in executive, finance, accounting, human resources and other administrative functions; as well as other significant general and administrative expenses include legal fees relating to patent, intellectual property and corporate matters, and fees paid for accounting, consulting and other professional services; and expenses for rent, insurance and other operating costs.

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as our business expands to support our continued research and development activities, including any future clinical trials. These increases will likely include increased costs related to the hiring of additional personnel and fees to outside consultants, among other expenses. We also anticipate increased expenses associated with being a public company, including costs for audit, legal, regulatory and tax-related services related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, listing standards applicable to companies listed on a national securities exchange, director and officer insurance premiums and investor relations costs. In addition, if we obtain regulatory approval for our current product candidates or any product candidates we may develop in the future and do not enter into a third-party commercialization collaboration, we expect to incur significant expenses related to building a sales and marketing team to support product sales, marketing and distribution activities.

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business. However, if our costs, in particular costs related to clinical trial expenses, preclinical expenses and/or employee-related expenses, were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, it may adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net primarily consists of interest income, which is earned on cash equivalents that generate interest on a monthly basis, and short-term and long-term marketable securities.

The change in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to the following:

•a $0.6 million increase in costs related to THE-630 primarily driven by increase in clinical costs. We expect a decrease in costs related to THE-630 in future periods as a result of discontinued enrollment in the ongoing phase 1/2 study and termination of development of THE-630 in GIST;

•a $2.1 million increase in costs related to THE-349 as the program continues to advance through IND-enabling studies, including manufacturing costs of $2.0 million, an increase in clinical start-up costs of $0.6 million, partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in IND-enabling costs;

•a $1.2 million increase in costs related to progress on our discovery programs, due primarily to an increase in contract research expenses;

•a $1.6 million increase in personnel-related costs consisting of $0.6 million of stock-based compensation expense, and an increase in salary and benefit related expense of $1.0 million driven by an increase in headcount; and

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses in each period and on an aggregate basis. We have not yet commercialized any product candidates, and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of any product candidates or from other sources for several years, if at all. As of June 30, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $234.2 million.

We have funded our operations primarily from sales of our preferred stock and common stock, including the net proceeds received from the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option in our IPO.

On November 3, 2022, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-268125), with the SEC, which was declared effective on November 10, 2022, or the Shelf Registration Statement, in relation to the

Table of Contents

registration of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and/or units of any combination thereof for the purposes of selling, from time to time, our common stock, debt securities or other equity securities in one or more offerings. The Shelf Registration Statement also included a prospectus for “an at-the-market” program, or ATM Program, pursuant to which we may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $100.0 million of shares of our common stock, under a Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as Sales Agent. We will pay to the Sales Agent cash commissions of up to 3.0 percent of the aggregate gross proceeds of sales of common stock under the Sales Agreement. To date, pursuant to the ATM Program, we have sold an aggregate of 4,816,301 shares of our common stock, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $50.4 million before fees and offering costs.

Cash Flows

The following table provides information regarding our cash flows for each of the periods presented (in thousands):

Net cash provided by financing activities	49,628		70
Net decrease in cash	$	(46,743)	$	(109,570)

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $28.7 million, primarily due to our net loss of $29.4 million, uses of cash for amortization and accretion of marketable securities of $2.1 million, a $1.7 million change in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $2.6 million change in accounts payable, and a $0.9 million change in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, partially offset by $6.6 million of stock-based compensation expense and a $1.4 million change in other assets.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $15.8 million, primarily due to our net loss of $22.1 million, and use of cash for our operating lease liability of $0.5 million, partially offset by $4.6 million of stock-based compensation expense, a $0.6 million change in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $1.0 million change in other assets, a $0.5 million change in accounts payable, and a $0.5 million change in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $67.7 million, consisting of $140.1 million in purchases of marketable securities, partially offset by $72.4 million in proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $93.9 million, resulting primarily from our purchases of short-term and long-term marketable securities, and purchases of property and equipment of $0.4 million.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $49.6 million, resulting primarily from proceeds received from the sale and issuance of common stock under our ATM Program.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities was $0.1 million, resulting entirely from proceeds received from the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan.

Funding Requirements

We expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing research and development activities, particularly as we continue research and development and advance the preclinical development of our programs, including our product candidate, THE-349, our BCR-ABL program and our next-generation KIT program. Furthermore, we expect to continue to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company including increased costs of accounting, audit, legal, regulatory and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and SEC requirements, director and officer insurance costs and investor and public relations costs. As a result, we expect to incur substantial operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future.

Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $234.2 million as of June 30, 2023 will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital expenses into 2026. However, we have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our capital resources sooner than we expect.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of product candidates, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our working capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on, and could increase significantly as a result of, many factors, including:

•the scope, rate of progress, success and costs of our drug discovery, preclinical development activities, laboratory testing and clinical trials for product candidates;

•the number and scope of clinical programs we decide to pursue;

•the scope and costs of manufacturing development and commercial manufacturing activities for product candidates, if approved;

•the extent to which we acquire or in-license other product candidates and technologies;

•the timing and amount of any payments required to be made under the agreements governing acquired or in-licensed product candidates or technologies;

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

•the cost and timing of establishing sales and marketing capabilities, if any product candidate receives marketing approval;

•the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims;

•our ability to establish and maintain collaborations on favorable terms, if at all;

•the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or other external disruptions on our business, results of operations and financial position;

•our efforts to enhance operational systems and our ability to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel, including personnel to support the development of product candidates;

•the costs associated with being a public company; and

•the cost associated with commercializing product candidates, if they receive marketing approval.

A change in the outcome of any of these or other variables with respect to the development of THE-349 or any product or development candidate we may develop in the future could significantly change the costs and timing associated with our development plans. Further, our operating plans may change in the future, and we may need additional funds to meet operational needs and capital requirements associated with such operating plans. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs

Table of Contents

through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, which could include collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements. We currently have no credit facility or committed sources of capital. Adequate additional funds may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interests of our existing stockholders may be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that could adversely affect the rights of such stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants that limit our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends, that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business.

If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research program or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes in our contractual obligations and outstanding indebtedness as disclosed in our Annual Report. Refer to Note 8 and Note 9 in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further details.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reported periods. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our judgments and estimates in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. The effects of material revisions in estimates, if any, will be reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements prospectively from the date of change in estimates. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in our Annual Report.

Emerging Growth Company Status

In April 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an EGC, may take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an EGC can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period for new or revised accounting standards during the period in which we remain an EGC; however, we may adopt certain new or revised accounting standards early.

We will remain an EGC until the earliest to occur of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue; (2) the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700.0 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; (3) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period; and (4) December 31, 2026, the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of our IPO.

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an EGC. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies until the fiscal year following the determination that our common stock held by non-affiliates is more than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenues are more than $100.0

million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our common stock held by non-affiliates is more than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

As a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information requested by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2023.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are from time to time subject to litigation and other legal proceedings. We believe that there are no pending lawsuits or claims that, individually or in the aggregate, may have a material effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report, except as set forth below.

Our portfolio of marketable securities or bank deposits may be subject to market, interest and credit risk that may reduce their value and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The value of our marketable securities may decline due to increases in interest rates, downgrades of the bonds and other securities included in our commercial money market account portfolio and instability in the global financial markets that reduces the liquidity of securities included in our portfolio. In addition, disruptions in the banking industry, including the closure of Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB, and Signature Bank and the appointment of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, as receiver, created bank-specific and broader financial institution liquidity risk and concerns. Although the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC jointly released a statement that depositors at SVB and Signature Bank would have access to their funds, even those in excess of the standard FDIC insurance limits, under a systemic risk exception, future adverse developments with respect to specific financial institutions or the broader financial services industry may impair our ability to access capital needed to support near-term working capital needs, whether from our existing marketable security and deposit accounts and credit facilities or otherwise, and may lead to market-wide liquidity shortages and create additional market and economic uncertainty. Since then, additional financial institutions have experienced similar failures and have been placed into receivership and it is possible that additional banks and financial institutions will face similar difficulty in the future. There is no guarantee that depositors will get access to funds in excess of standard FDIC insurance limits in the event that other banks or financial institutions fail, are swept into receivership or otherwise. Furthermore, a possible recession, rising inflation, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has and may continue to adversely affect the financial markets in some or all countries worldwide. Each of these events may cause us to record charges to reduce the carrying value of our marketable securities portfolio or sell marketable securities for less than our acquisition cost. Although we attempt to mitigate these risks through diversification of our marketable securities, the value of our marketable securities may nevertheless decline, and our ability to fund our near-term and long-term working capital needs to support our business and clinical development plans may be adversely affected. In addition, any decline in available funding or access to our cash and liquidity resources could also result in breaches of our financial and/or contractual obligations or result in violations of federal or state wage and hour laws.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unregistered Sale of Securities

None.

Use of Proceeds from Initial Public Offering

On October 12, 2021, we closed our initial public offering, or the IPO, in which we sold 10,000,200 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $16.00 per share. On October 25, 2021, the Underwriters (as defined below) exercised their option to purchase an additional 1,171,990 shares of our common stock at the public offering price of $16.00 per share. After deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, the aggregate net offering proceeds raised in the IPO was approximately $162.5 million. All of the shares issued and sold in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-259549), which was declared effective by the SEC on October 6, 2021, and a Registration Statement on Form S-1 MEF (File No. 333-260102) filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act.

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT

TO THE

AMENDED AND RESTATED

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

THESEUS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

(Pursuant to Section 242 of the

General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware

Theseus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), hereby certifies as follows:

1.The Corporation was originally incorporated pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) on December 29, 2017. An Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 12, 2021 (the “Charter”). Pursuant to Section 242 of the DGCL, this Certificate of Amendment (this “Amendment”) amends certain provisions of the Charter.

2.This Amendment has been approved and duly adopted by the Corporation’s Board of Directors and stockholders in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the DGCL.

3.The Charter is hereby amended by adding a new Article FOURTEENTH to read in its entirety as follows:

“FOURTEENTH. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists and as it may hereafter be amended, no officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer of the Corporation, except for liability (a) for any breach of the officer’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) for any transaction from which the officer derived an improper personal benefit, or (d) arising from any claim brought by or in the right of the Corporation. Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, if the DGCL is hereafter amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of an officer, then the liability of an officer of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. For purpose of this Article FOURTEENTH, “officer” shall mean an individual who has been duly appointed as an officer of the Corporation and who, at the time of an act or omission as to which liability is asserted, is deemed to have consented to service of process to the registered agent of the Corporation as contemplated by 10 Del.

[Remainder of page intentionally left blank]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment, having been duly adopted in accordance with Section 242 of the DGCL, has been duly executed by a duly authorized officer of the Corporation on this 13th day of June, 2023.

Exhibit 10.1

THESEUS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

OUTSIDE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION POLICY

Adopted and approved by the Board of Directors on March 22, 2023

Effective on June 9, 2023 (the “Effective Date”)

Theseus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) believes that providing cash and equity compensation to its members of the Board of Directors (the “Board,” and members of the Board, the “Directors”) represents an effective tool to attract, retain and reward Directors who are not employees of the Company (the “Outside Directors”). This Amended and Restated Outside Director Compensation Policy (the “Policy”) is intended to formalize the Company’s policy regarding the compensation to its Outside Directors. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Policy will have the meaning given to such terms in the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), or if the Plan is no longer in place, the meaning given to such terms or any similar terms in the equity plan then in place. Each Outside Director will be solely responsible for any tax obligations incurred by such Outside Director as a result of the equity and cash payments such Outside Director receives under this Policy.

1.CASH COMPENSATION

Annual Cash Retainer

Each Outside Director will be paid an annual cash retainer of $35,000. There are no per‑meeting attendance fees for attending Board meetings. This cash compensation will be paid quarterly in arrears on a prorated basis.

Committee Annual Cash Retainer

Effective as of the Effective Date, each Outside Director who serves as the chair of the Board, the lead independent Outside Director, or the chair or a member of a committee of the Board listed below will be eligible to earn additional annual cash fees (paid quarterly in arrears on a prorated basis) as follows:


Chair of the Board			$30,000
Lead Independent Director			$15,000
Chair of Audit Committee:			$15,000
Member of Audit Committee:			$7,500
Chair of Compensation Committee:			$10,000
Member of Compensation Committee:			$5,000
Chair of Nominating and Governance Committee:			$8,000
Member of Nominating and Governance Committee:			$4,000

For clarity, each Outside Director who serves as the chair of a committee shall receive only the additional annual cash fee as the chair of the committee, and not the additional annual cash fee as a member of the committee.

2.EQUITY COMPENSATION

Outside Directors will be eligible to receive all types of Awards (except Incentive Stock Options) under the Plan (or the applicable equity plan in place at the time of grant), including discretionary Awards not covered under this Policy. All grants of Awards to Outside Directors pursuant to Section 2 of this Policy will be automatic and nondiscretionary, except as otherwise provided herein, and will be made in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) No Discretion. No person will have any discretion to select which Outside Directors will be granted any Awards under this Policy or to determine the number of Common Shares to be covered by such Awards.

(b) Initial Award. Each Outside Director joining the Board after the Effective Date shall be automatically granted an award of Options covering 52,000 Common Shares (the “Initial Award”) upon first joining the Board (such date, the “Start Date”). Subject to Section 3 of this Policy, the Initial Award will vest monthly over 36 months (on the same day of the month as the Start Date), subject to the Outside Director continuing to be a Service Provider through the applicable vesting date.

For the avoidance of doubt, if an individual was a member of the Board and also an employee, becoming an Outside Director due to termination of employment will not entitle the Outside Director to an Initial Award under Section 2(b). Such an Outside Director would receive an Annual Award under Section 2(c).

(c) Annual Award. On the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders following the Effective Date (each, an “Annual Meeting”), each Outside Director will be automatically granted an award of Options covering 19,500 Common Shares and an award of 3,250 Restricted Stock Units (an “Annual Award”). Subject to Section 3 of this Policy, each Annual Award will vest on the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the date the Annual Award is granted or (ii) the day prior to the date of the Annual Meeting next following the date the Annual Award is granted, in each case, subject to the Outside Director continuing to be a Service Provider through the applicable vesting date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Outside Director who has been granted an Initial Award will not be granted an Annual Award in the same calendar year.

(d) Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in shares or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares, a corresponding adjustment will automatically be made in the share numbers described above.

3.CHANGE IN CONTROL

In the event of a Change in Control, each Outside Director’s outstanding Company equity awards will accelerate and vest.

4.TRAVEL EXPENSES

Each Outside Director’s reasonable, customary and documented travel expenses to Board or Board committee meetings will be reimbursed by the Company.

5.ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

All provisions of the Plan not inconsistent with this Policy will apply to Awards granted to Outside Directors.

6.SECTION 409A

In no event will cash compensation or expense reimbursement payments under this Policy be paid after the later of (i) 15th day of the 3rd month following the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which the compensation is earned or expenses are incurred, as applicable, or (ii) 15th day of the 3rd month following the end of the calendar year in which the compensation is earned or expenses are incurred, as applicable, in compliance with the “short-term deferral” exception under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the final regulations and guidance thereunder, as may be amended from time to time (together, “Section 409A”). It is the intent of this Policy that this Policy and all payments hereunder be exempt from or otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the compensation to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be interpreted to be so exempt or comply. In no event will the Company reimburse an Outside Director for any taxes imposed or other costs incurred as a result of Section 409A.

7.REVISIONS

The Board may amend, alter, suspend or terminate this Policy at any time and for any reason. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of this Policy will materially impair the rights of an Outside Director with respect to compensation that already has been paid or awarded, unless otherwise mutually agreed between the Outside Director and the Company. Termination of this Policy will not affect the Board’s or the Compensation Committee’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it under the Plan with respect to Awards granted under the Plan pursuant to this Policy prior to the date of such termination.

Nature of the Business	Jun. 30, 2023
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of the Business	Nature of the Business Theseus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Theseus” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on improving the lives of cancer patients through the discovery, development and commercialization of transformative targeted therapies. The Company was incorporated in December 2017 under the laws of the State of Delaware, and its principal offices are in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Basis of Presentation The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative US GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the most recently audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022. Liquidity The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. The Company’s product candidates and development programs will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, the Company is unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses, or when or if the Company will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. Even if the Company is able to generate revenue from product sales, the Company may not become profitable. If the Company fails to become profitable or is unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, then the Company may be unable to continue its operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce or terminate its operations. The Company expects to incur substantial operating losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future. In accordance with ASC 205-40, Going Concern, the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $141.6 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred a loss of $29.4 million and utilized $28.7 million of cash in operations. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $234.2 million at June 30, 2023 will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 9, 2023 (“Annual Report”). There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2023, except as noted below. Unaudited Interim Financial Information The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2023 and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates and judgments are based on historical information and other market-specific or various relevant assumptions, including in certain circumstances, future projections, that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, the accruals for research and development expenses. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Periodically, the Company maintains deposits in accredited financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company deposits its cash in financial institutions that it believes have high credit quality and have not experienced any losses on such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. Such deposits have and will continue to exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its cash deposits. The Company’s short-term and long-term marketable securities are invested in high grade securities with limited concentration in any one issuer, and as a result, the Company believes represent minimal credit risk. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which has been subsequently amended (“ASU 2016‑13”). This updated accounting guidance significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. ASU 2016-13 will require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses on trade receivables, loans and other financial instruments. This update is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2023, and the adoption had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income TaxesIncome taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 have been calculated based on an estimated annual effective tax rate and certain discrete items. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, no income tax was recorded, as the Company recognized losses and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The Company has never been examined by the Internal Revenue Service or any other jurisdiction for any tax years and, as such, all years within the applicable statutes of limitations are potentially subject to audit.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Event	Subsequent EventOn July 13, 2023, the Company announced its decision to discontinue enrollment in the ongoing phase 1/2 clinical trial of THE-630 and terminate development of THE-630 in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors. As a result of its decision, the Company estimates that it will incur approximately $0.6 million in incremental costs in connection with the discontinuation of the study including termination of vendor contracts and contingent liabilities. Also, following the announcement, the Company had a reduction in workforce which resulted in $0.6 million in severance costs. The incremental costs are expected to be incurred in the third quarter of 2023.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Unaudited Interim Financial Information	Unaudited Interim Financial InformationThe accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2023 and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Use of Estimates	Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates and judgments are based on historical information and other market-specific or various relevant assumptions, including in certain circumstances, future projections, that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, the accruals for research and development expenses.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit RiskFinancial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Periodically, the Company maintains deposits in accredited financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company deposits its cash in financial institutions that it believes have high credit quality and have not experienced any losses on such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. Such deposits have and will continue to exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its cash deposits. The Company’s short-term and long-term marketable securities are invested in high grade securities with limited concentration in any one issuer, and as a result, the Company believes represent minimal credit risk.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which has been subsequently amended (“ASU 2016‑13”). This updated accounting guidance significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. ASU 2016-13 will require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses on trade receivables, loans and other financial instruments. This update is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2023, and the adoption had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
