"This additional non-dilutive financing gives us the capacity to continue scaling our commercial efforts and expanding globally following recent ANKTIVA approvals, while positioning us to take full advantage of the growth opportunities ahead," said Richard Adcock, President and CEO of ImmunityBio. "The strengthening of the company’s balance sheet through non-dilutive financing from Oberland, combined with the Founder’s reduction of debt, supports our global expansion following recent approvals and the advancement of our immunotherapy pipeline."

Simultaneous with the closing of the amendment to the RIPA, Nant Capital, LLC, an entity affiliated with our Executive Chairman, converted $25 million principal amount with the issuance of 4.6 million shares of the company’s common stock to Nant Capital, LLC and the reduction of debt under the $505 million December 2024 Promissory Note.

"The non-dilutive financing from Oberland and the conversion of debt to equity by Nant Capital, reflect strong confidence in ImmunityBio’s strategy and growth potential as a leading immunotherapy company paving the way for next-generation immunotherapy treatments," said Patrick Soon-Shiong, M.D., Founder, Executive Chairman and Global Chief Medical and Scientific Officer of ImmunityBio.

About ANKTIVA (nogapendekin alfa inbakicept-pmln)

The cytokine interleukin-15 (IL-15) plays a crucial role in the immune system by affecting the development, maintenance, and function of key immune cells—NK and CD8+ killer T cells—that are involved in killing cancer cells. By activating NK cells, ANKTIVA overcomes the tumor escape phase of clones resistant to T cells and restores memory T cell activity with resultant prolonged duration of complete response. ANKTIVA is a first-in-class IL-15 receptor superagonist IgG1 fusion complex, consisting of an IL-15 mutant (IL-15N72D) fused with an IL-15 receptor alpha, which binds with high affinity to IL-15 receptors on NK, CD4+, and CD8+ T cells. This fusion complex of ANKTIVA mimics the natural biological properties of the dendritic cell membrane-bound IL-15 receptor alpha driving the activation and proliferation of NK cells with the generation of memory killer T cells that have retained immune memory against these tumor clones.
