Overview
We are a late-stage clinical oncology company developing novel targeted therapies for patients with RAS-addicted cancers. We possess sophisticated structure-based drug discovery capabilities built upon deep chemical biology and cancer pharmacology know-how and innovative, proprietary technologies that enable the creation of small molecules tailored to unconventional binding sites. Guided by our understanding of genetic drivers and adaptive resistance mechanisms in cancer, we deploy precision medicine approaches to inform innovative monotherapy and combination regimens. Our research and development pipeline comprises inhibitors that bind directly to RAS variants (RAS(ON) Inhibitors) that are designed to be used as monotherapy, in combination with other RAS(ON) Inhibitors and/or other therapeutic agents.
RAS(ON) Inhibitors
We are advancing a deep pipeline of RAS(ON) Inhibitors, including daraxonrasib (RMC-6236), our multi-selective inhibitor, zoldonrasib (RMC-9805), our G12D-selective inhibitor, elironrasib (RMC-6291), our G12C-selective inhibitor, and RMC-5127, our G12V-selective inhibitor. We also have other preclinical-stage RAS(ON) Inhibitor clinical development opportunities, including the RAS(ON) mutant-selective inhibitors RMC-0708 (Q61H) and RMC-8839 (G13C) and additional novel targeted approaches for patients with RAS-addicted cancers.
Daraxonrasib
Daraxonrasib, our RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor, is designed as an oral, tri-complex inhibitor of multiple RAS(ON) variants containing cancer driver mutations at all three of the major RAS mutation hotspot positions, G12, G13, and Q61. Daraxonrasib inhibits all three major RAS isoforms, suppressing the mutant cancer driver and cooperating wild-type RAS proteins. Daraxonrasib has been granted a non-transferable voucher for daraxonrasib in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) under the Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher (CNPV) pilot program, Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) by the FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, and Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the FDA for patients with previously treated metastatic PDAC with KRAS G12 mutations and patients with NSCLC with KRAS mutations other than G12C who have received prior platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-PD-(L)1 therapy.
Zoldonrasib
Zoldonrasib is designed as an oral RAS(ON) G12D-selective tri-complex inhibitor. It is designed to exhibit low nanomolar potency for suppressing RAS pathway signaling and growth of RAS G12D-bearing cancer cells and is engineered to covalently inactivate RAS G12D irreversibly. Zoldonrasib has received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the FDA for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12D-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have been previously treated with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy and platinum-based chemotherapy.
Elironrasib
Elironrasib is designed as an oral RAS(ON) G12C-selective tri-complex inhibitor. It is designed to exhibit subnanomolar potency for suppressing RAS pathway signaling and growth of RAS G12C-bearing cancer cells and is engineered to be highly selective for RAS G12C over wild-type RAS and other cellular targets. Elironrasib is designed to be differentiated from first-generation KRAS(OFF) G12C inhibitors, which sequester the KRAS(OFF) G12C form, by its mechanism of directly inhibiting the RAS(ON) G12C form. Elironrasib has received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the FDA for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have received prior chemotherapy and immunotherapy but have not been previously treated with a KRAS G12C inhibitor.
RMC-5127
RMC-5127 is designed as an oral RAS(ON) G12V-selective tri-complex inhibitor. It is designed to exhibit picomolar potency for suppressing RAS pathway signaling and growth of RAS G12V-bearing cancer cells and is engineered for selective inhibition of RAS G12V over other RAS isoforms via non-covalent binding interactions. A first-in-human dose escalation clinical trial of RMC-5127 is
20
ongoing. We currently expect to identify a recommended Phase 2 dose for RMC-5127 during the second half of 2026 and to share initial clinical data in 2027.
New Class of RAS(ON) Inhibitors
We have designed a new class of tri-complex RAS(ON) Inhibitors in order to overcome RAS-driven drug resistance and thereby extend the clinical benefit of RAS(ON) Inhibitors. We currently expect to initiate a first-in-human clinical trial from this class of RAS(ON) Inhibitors in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Other Development Opportunities
RMC-0708
RMC-0708 is designed as an oral RAS(ON) Q61H-selective tri-complex inhibitor. It is designed to exhibit picomolar potency for suppressing RAS pathway signaling and growth of RAS Q61H-bearing cancer cells and is engineered for selective inhibition of RAS Q61H over other RAS isoforms via non-covalent binding interactions. Clinical development of RMC-0708 is subject to our continuing assessment of portfolio priorities.
RMC-8839
RMC-8839 is designed as an oral RAS(ON) G13C-selective tri-complex inhibitor. It is designed to exhibit picomolar potency for suppressing RAS pathway signaling and growth of KRAS G13C-bearing cancer cells and is engineered to covalently inactivate KRAS G13C for irreversible inhibition. Clinical development of RMC-8839 is subject to our continuing assessment of portfolio priorities.
Clinical Development
RAS Mutant Epidemiology in the United States
Variants in RAS proteins are among the most common oncogenic drivers of cancer. Based on tumor mutation frequencies from Foundation Medicine data, scaled to estimated patient numbers using cancer incidence from the American Cancer Society Cancer Facts and Figures, there are an estimated more than 190,000 new RAS mutant cancer diagnoses each year in the U.S. These include approximately 60,000 patients with NSCLC, representing approximately 30% of NSCLC diagnoses, approximately 75,000 patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), representing approximately 50% of CRC diagnoses, and approximately 56,000 patients with PDAC, representing more than 90% of PDAC diagnoses.
Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most common and difficult-to-treat cancers and patients have historically had limited treatment options. Because of this unmet need and the prevalence of RAS as a driver of PDAC, we believe that pancreatic cancer represents a particularly compelling opportunity for RAS-targeted therapies.
In May 2026, we presented results from our randomized Phase 3 registration study RASolute 302 comparing daraxonrasib against chemotherapy in patients with second line (2L) PDAC. In this study, daraxonrasib taken orally once daily demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to standard of care cytotoxic chemotherapy delivered intravenously. In the overall (intent-to-treat) study population, daraxonrasib demonstrated a median OS of 13.2 months versus 6.7 months for chemotherapy, with a hazard ratio of 0.40 (p < 0.0001). Daraxonrasib was generally well tolerated, with a manageable safety profile and with no new safety signals. Based on the results from this first interim analysis, all PFS and OS endpoint results are considered final. The FDA has accepted for review our New Drug Application (NDA) for daraxonrasib for previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer and the EMA initiated a phased review of daraxonrasib under its Cancer Medicines Pathfinder project.
21
Based on encouraging early-stage clinical results, we are evaluating daraxonrasib and zoldonrasib in the following global, randomized Phase 3 registrational studies in PDAC:
•RASolute 303: comparing daraxonrasib with and without chemotherapy against chemotherapy in patients with first-line (1L) metastatic PDAC;
•RASolute 304: evaluating daraxonrasib as an adjuvant therapy in patients with resectable PDAC who have received surgery and chemotherapy;
•RASolute 305: evaluating zoldonrasib in combination with the investigator’s choice of chemotherapies in patients with 1L metastatic PDAC in a placebo-controlled study; and
•RASolute 309: comparing daraxonrasib with zoldonrasib against chemotherapy in 1L patients with RAS G12D PDAC.
In April 2026, we presented updated Phase 1 clinical data for daraxonrasib in patients with 1L PDAC across monotherapy and combination cohorts at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting.
In July 2026 at the European Society for Medical Oncology’s Gastrointestinal Cancers Congress, we presented data for (i) zoldonrasib in combination with chemotherapy in patients with 1L RAS G12D PDAC; and (ii) zoldonrasib in combination with daraxonrasib in patients with previously treated RAS G12D PDAC. We believe these data showed that zoldonrasib in combination with chemotherapy and zoldonrasib in combination with daraxonrasib were generally well tolerated and demonstrated encouraging antitumor activity that supported our initiation of RASolute 305 and RASolute 309, respectively.
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
NSCLC is another major cancer type in which RAS mutations are common. While advances in immunotherapy and chemotherapy have improved outcomes for some individuals, many patients with RAS mutant NSCLC continue to experience disease progression, highlighting the need for new targeted approaches. Importantly, RAS mutations in NSCLC extend beyond a single subtype, leaving a significant portion of patients without broadly effective targeted treatment options.
Based on encouraging early-stage clinical results, we are evaluating daraxonrasib and zoldonrasib in the following global, randomized Phase 3 registrational studies in NSCLC:
•RASolve 301: comparing daraxonrasib against docetaxel in patients with locally advanced or metastatic RAS mutant NSCLC who have been treated with immunotherapy and platinum-containing chemotherapy. We currently expect to complete enrollment in RASolve 301 in 2026, to enable an expected clinical readout in 2027; and
•RASolve 308: evaluating zoldonrasib in combination with standard of care in patients with 1L metastatic RAS G12D NSCLC in a placebo-controlled study.
Based on our evaluation of the treatment landscape for NSCLC, we are prioritizing a mutant-selective approach for development in
1L NSCLC; we expect to initiate RASolve 307, a global, randomized Phase 3 registrational trial evaluating elironrasib in combination with standard of care in 1L RAS G12C NSCLC in the fourth quarter of 2026 and plan to continue evaluating daraxonrasib in NSCLC in combination with bispecific antibodies targeting both the PD-1/PD-L1 and VEGF axes.
In August 2026, we reported initial Phase 1 clinical data for (i) zoldonrasib in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in patients with 1L RAS G12D NSCLC and (ii) elironrasib in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in patients with 1L RAS G12C NSCLC. We believe these data showed that zoldonrasib and elironrasib were generally well tolerated and demonstrated encouraging antitumor activity that support our initiation of RASolve 308 and planned initiation of RASolve 307, respectively.
In April 2026, we presented updated Phase 1 clinical data for zoldonrasib in patients with previously treated RAS G12D NSCLC at the AACR Annual Meeting.
Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancers are genetically complex and heterogeneous, and patients with RAS mutant disease typically have limited targeted treatment options, particularly after progression on standard therapies. As a result, outcomes remain poor for many patients, underscoring the need for new therapeutic approaches that more effectively address the underlying drivers of the disease.
To address this need, we are pursuing a combination-focused strategy designed to maximize clinical impact in this challenging setting. We believe that our early clinical experience supports continued exploration of these strategies. As data mature, we plan to prioritize
22
registrational opportunities with the goal of improving outcomes and expanding treatment options for patients with RAS mutant colorectal cancer. We currently expect to provide updated combination data in CRC in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Collaborations
Synnovation Collaboration
In April 2026, we entered into a clinical collaboration with Synnovation Therapeutics, Inc. (Synnovation) pursuant to which Synnovation plans to evaluate its compound SNV1521, a PARP1-selective inhibitor, in combination with daraxonrasib in patients with PDAC as part of a Synnovation-sponsored trial.
Bristol-Myers Squibb Collaboration
In February 2026, we entered into a clinical collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) pursuant to which BMS plans to evaluate its compound navlimetostat, an MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor, in combination with daraxonrasib in patients with PDAC as part of a BMS-sponsored trial.
Summit Collaboration
In June 2025, we entered into a clinical collaboration with Summit Therapeutics, Inc. (Summit) pursuant to which we are evaluating, in multiple solid tumor settings, the safety and efficacy of certain of our clinical-stage RAS(ON) Inhibitors, including daraxonrasib, elironrasib and zoldonrasib, in combination with Summit’s ivonescimab, a PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody, in the APEX-103 clinical trial.
Iambic Collaboration
In May 2025, we entered into a collaboration with Iambic Therapeutics, Inc. (Iambic) pursuant to which Iambic uses its artificial intelligence capabilities to generate customized models through training with our proprietary data. Our aim in this collaboration is to enhance our lead discovery and optimization processes directed against both current and new drug targets to enable continued development of our pipeline.
Tango Collaboration
In November 2024, we entered into a clinical collaboration with Tango Therapeutics, Inc. (Tango) pursuant to which Tango is evaluating its compound vopimetostat (TNG462), an MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor, in combination with daraxonrasib or zoldonrasib in patients with MTAP-deleted, RAS mutant PDAC or NSCLC as part of a Tango-sponsored trial.
Break Through Cancer Collaboration
In November 2024, we entered into a collaboration with Break Through Cancer. The collaboration is designed to assess biopsy samples taken from patients receiving daraxonrasib in the investigational setting, with the goal of identifying biomarkers that could predict tumor response and how cancer cells adapt to the therapy. We believe this approach has the potential to provide important insights into the complex interplay of tumor biology and daraxonrasib response.
Aethon Collaboration
In March 2024, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Aethon Therapeutics, Inc. (Aethon) pursuant to which Aethon is conducting research related to use of novel bispecific antibodies to mount an immune attack directed at the cancer cells targeted by our RAS(ON) Inhibitors (the Aethon Collaboration Agreement). Pursuant to the Aethon Collaboration Agreement, we agreed to reimburse Aethon for preclinical activities, and we have an option to conduct any clinical or commercial development that may arise from the collaboration.

Financial Operations Overview
Research and development expenses
We substantially rely on third parties to conduct our preclinical studies, clinical trials and manufacturing. We estimate research and development expenses based on estimates of services performed, and we rely on third party contractors and vendors to provide us with timely and accurate estimates of expenses of services performed to assist us in these estimates. Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for the development of our product candidates and costs associated with identifying compounds through our discovery platform, which include:
•external costs incurred under agreements with third-party contract organizations, investigative clinical trial sites that conduct research and development activities on our behalf and consultants;
•costs related to the production of preclinical, clinical and pre-launch inventory, including fees paid to contract manufacturers, which are recorded as research and development expenses prior to initial regulatory approval;
•laboratory and vendor expenses related to the execution of discovery programs, preclinical and clinical trials;
•employee-related expenses, which include salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation; and
•facilities and other expenses, which include allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, depreciation and amortization expense, information technology and other supplies.
We expense all research and development costs in the periods in which they are incurred. Costs for certain development activities are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information and data provided to us by our vendors, collaborators and third-party service providers. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services to be received in future periods for use in research and development activities are deferred and recorded as prepaid assets. The prepaid amounts are then expensed as the related goods are delivered or as services are performed.
We expect our research and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in discovering and developing product candidates and advancing product candidates into later stages of development, which may include conducting larger clinical trials. The process of conducting the necessary research and development and clinical trials to seek regulatory approval for product candidates is costly and time-consuming, and the successful development of our product candidates is highly uncertain. As a result, we are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of our research and development projects or clinical trials or if and to what extent we will generate revenue from the commercialization and sale of any of our product candidates, if approved.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, consultants and professional services expenses, including legal, audit, accounting and human resources services, insurance, commercial preparation activities, allocated facilities and information technology costs, and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research and development expenses. Personnel-related costs consist of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation. Facilities costs consist of rent, utilities and maintenance of facilities. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future due to anticipated increases in operating and commercial preparation activities, which may result in increases in personnel-related costs associated with increased headcount, other administrative and professional services, and related overhead needed to support these efforts.
Interest income
Interest income primarily consists of interest earned on and accretion of our cash equivalents and marketable securities.
Interest expense
Interest expense consists of non-cash interest expense associated with the sale of future royalties and interest expense associated with the convertible senior notes.
Change in fair value of warrant liability
Change in fair value of warrant liability consists of the change in fair value of warrants assumed as part of the EQRx, Inc. acquisition.

Interest expense
Interest expense increased by $22.9 million and $35.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025, due to non-cash interest expense associated with the Royalty Purchase Agreement, which was entered into in June 2025, and interest expense associated with convertible senior notes issued in April 2026.
Change in fair value of warrant liability
The fair value of our warrant liability increased by $151.0 million and $166.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 respectively, as a result of an increase in our share price in 2026.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In August 2024, we entered into a sales agreement with TD Securities (USA) LLC (TD Cowen), to sell shares of our common stock, from time to time, with aggregate gross proceeds of up to $500 million, through an at-the-market equity offering program (the 2024 ATM). During the year ended December 31, 2025, we sold an aggregate of 6,163,501 shares of common stock under the 2024 ATM, resulting in gross proceeds of $353.4 million. In January and February 2026, we sold an aggregate of 880,098 shares of common stock under the 2024 ATM, resulting in net proceeds of $84.8 million. In February 2026, we terminated the 2024 ATM and entered into a new sales agreement with TD Cowen to sell shares of our common stock, from time to time, with aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1 billion, through an at-the-market equity offering program (the 2026 ATM) under which TD Cowen agreed to act as our sales agent.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we sold an aggregate of 1,455,299 shares of common stock under the 2026 ATM, resulting in gross proceeds of $144.1 million, with net proceeds of $141.9 million after deducting commissions and expenses.
In June 2025, we entered into a revenue participation right purchase and sale agreement (the Royalty Purchase Agreement) with Royalty Pharma Investments 2019 ICAV (Royalty Pharma). Pursuant to the Royalty Purchase Agreement, in exchange for an upfront payment of $250.0 million, Royalty Pharma purchased from us the right to receive royalty payments with respect to worldwide net product sales in a calendar year (Annual Net Sales) of (a) RMC-6236 Products and (b) RMC-9805 Products, if an RMC-9805 Product is approved for the same indication or subset of the same indication for which an RMC-6236 Product is approved. In May 2026, we received a $250.0 million payment from Royalty Pharma in connection with the Tranche 2 funding trigger under the Royalty Purchase
26
Agreement. In addition, under the Royalty Purchase Agreement, Royalty Pharma has agreed to purchase up to an additional $750.0 million in synthetic royalty funding divided into three additional tranches of up to $250.0 million. Each of these tranches is subject to the satisfaction of certain triggers, and is available at our sole election, provided the relevant trigger events have occurred.
For additional information regarding the Royalty Purchase Agreement (including information regarding the trigger events related to particular tranches and the applicable tiered revenue payments), see “Note 8. Liability related to the sale of future royalties” in the “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In June 2025, we entered into a loan agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Wilmington Trust, National Association as administrative agent and Royalty Pharma Development Funding, LLC, as a lender. The Loan Agreement provides for a term loan facility of up to $750.0 million (the Term Loan Facility), consisting of three tranches, one of which must be drawn and the other two of which may be drawn at our option during certain commitment periods, in each case subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain terms and conditions.
For additional information regarding the Term Loan Facility (including information regarding the terms and conditions related to the three tranches of funding), see “Note 9. Term loan facility” in the “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In April 2026, we completed concurrent public offerings consisting of (i) 12,147,887 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $142.00 per share and (ii) $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.50% convertible senior notes due 2033 (the 2033 Notes). The offerings included the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of common stock.
We received gross proceeds of approximately $1,725.0 million from the sale of common stock and approximately $500.0 million from the issuance of the 2033 Notes. Net proceeds were approximately $1,651.4 million from the equity offering and approximately $487.1 million from the issuance of the 2033 Notes, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses.
The 2033 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest at a rate of 0.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2026. The 2033 Notes will mature on May 1, 2033, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The initial conversion rate is 5.0302 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2033 Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $198.80 per share, subject to customary adjustments. For additional information regarding the 2033 Notes, see “Note 10. Convertible senior notes” in the “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
To date, our operations have been financed primarily by the sale of our securities, our acquisition of EQRx in 2023, the sale of future royalties and the issuance of convertible senior notes.
As of June 30, 2026, we had $3.9 billion in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.
As of June 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $4.0 billion. Our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, which consist primarily of research and development expenditures related to our product candidates and our preclinical research portfolio, and to a lesser extent, general and administrative and commercial preparation expenditures. We expect our expenses to continue to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue to advance our product candidates into later stages of development, which includes conducting larger clinical trials, and increasing our efforts to prepare to become a commercial-stage company.
We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will enable us to fund our planned operations for at least 12 months following the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The timing and amount of our future funding requirements depends on many factors, including:
•the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing our product candidates and programs, and of conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials;
•the cost of manufacturing our current and future product candidates for clinical trials in preparation for marketing approval and in preparation for commercialization;
•the timing of, and the costs involved in, obtaining marketing approvals for our product candidates if clinical trials are successful;
•the cost of commercialization activities for our product candidates, whether alone or in collaboration, including marketing, sales and distribution costs if any product candidate is approved for sale;
•our ability to establish and maintain strategic licenses or other arrangements and the financial terms of such agreements;
27
•the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, expanding, defending and enforcing patent claims, including litigation costs and the outcome of such litigation;
•the timing, receipt and amount of sales of, profit share or royalties on, our product candidates, if approved;
•the emergence of competing cancer therapies or other adverse market developments; and
•any plans to acquire or in-license other programs or technologies.
We will require additional funds for our development efforts for our current and future programs and to prepare for their potential commercialization. Other than the Royalty Purchase Agreement and the Term Loan Facility (which provide for additional funding subject to certain terms and conditions and trigger events), we do not have any committed external source of funds or other support for these activities, and we may need to finance our cash needs through additional funding under the Royalty Purchase Agreement, the Term Loan Facility and/or a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt financings, other credit or loan facilities, acquisitions, collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements and other marketing or distribution arrangements. In addition, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. If we need to raise additional capital to fund our operations, funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing when needed, we may have to (i) delay, limit, reduce the scope of or terminate one or more of our preclinical studies, clinical trials, or other research and development activities or eliminate one or more of our development programs altogether; or (ii) delay, limit, reduce the scope of or terminate our efforts to establish manufacturing and sales and marketing capabilities or other activities that may be necessary to commercialize any future approved products, or reduce our flexibility in developing or maintaining our sales and marketing strategy.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We have contractual obligations related to our office and laboratory space lease in Redwood City, California, described in “Note 7. Commitments and contingencies” in the “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We enter into agreements in the ordinary course of business with contract research organizations for clinical trials, contract manufacturing organizations to provide clinical trial materials and with vendors for preclinical studies and other services and products for operating purposes which are generally cancelable at any time by us upon 30 to 90 days’ prior written notice.
In June 2025, we entered into the Royalty Purchase Agreement with Royalty Pharma. Pursuant to the Royalty Purchase Agreement, Royalty Pharma purchased from us the right to receive tiered royalty payments on worldwide net product sales of daraxonrasib (together with certain potential future products having the same mechanism of action as daraxonrasib, the RMC-6236 Products) and zoldonrasib (together with certain potential future products having the same mechanism of action as zoldonrasib, the RMC-9805 Products), if zoldonrasib is approved for the same indication or subset of the same indication for which daraxonrasib is approved. For additional information regarding the Royalty Purchase Agreement, see “Note 8. Liability related to the sale of future royalties” in the “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On April 17, 2026, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.50% convertible senior notes due 2033, which mature on May 1, 2033 unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. For additional information regarding the 2033 Notes, see “Note 10. Convertible senior notes” in the “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Indemnification Agreements
We enter into standard indemnification arrangements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these arrangements, we indemnify, hold harmless and agree to reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, in connection with any trade secret, copyright, patent or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to its technology. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after the execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these arrangements is not determinable. We have never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the fair value of these agreements is minimal.
Critical Accounting Policies, Significant Judgments and Use of Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
