The full text of the press release issued on September 30, 2025, announcing the pricing of the Offering is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Cash Runway

Based on the Company’s current operating plan, which includes estimates of anticipated cash inflows from DEXTENZA product sales and cash outflows from operating expenses and capital expenditures and reflects the Company’s observance of the minimum liquidity covenant of $20.0 million under the Company’s existing credit and security agreement, the Company believes that the net proceeds from this Offering, together with the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents, will enable the Company to fund its planned operating expenses, debt service obligations and capital expenditure requirements into 2028. Although the Company’s planned operating expenses include manufacturing scale-up and pre-commercialization activities for AXPAXLI, they do not include the full expenses the Company anticipates it needs to support the commercialization of AXPAXLI. The Company has based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and the Company could use its capital resources sooner than it currently expects.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Any statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K about future expectations, plans, and prospects for the Company, including the Company’s expectations and plans regarding the Offering, the Company’s anticipated use of proceeds of the Offering, the anticipated closing date of the Offering, the Company’s anticipated cash runway and sufficiency of the Company’s cash resources, and other statements containing the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend”, “goal,” “may”, “might,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” and similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Such forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s clinical development programs, future results, performance or achievements to differ significantly from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, uncertainties related to market conditions, the satisfaction of customary closing conditions related to the Offering, the need for additional financing or other actions and other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section contained in the final prospectus supplement related to the Offering to be filed with the SEC, the accompanying base prospectus to the registration statement related to the Offering, and the Company’s quarterly and annual reports on file with the SEC. In addition, the forward-looking statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K represent the Company’s views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
