Organization and Description of Business

BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. (“BridgeBio” or the “Company”) is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company founded to discover, create, test and deliver transformative medicines to treat patients who suffer from genetic diseases and cancers with clear genetic drivers. BridgeBio’s pipeline of development programs ranges from early science to advanced clinical trials. BridgeBio was founded in 2015 and its team of experienced drug discoverers, developers and innovators are committed to applying advances in genetic medicine to help patients as quickly as possible.

Since inception, BridgeBio has either created wholly-owned subsidiaries or has made investments in certain controlled entities, including partially-owned subsidiaries for which BridgeBio has a majority voting interest, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which BridgeBio is the primary beneficiary (collectively, “we”, “our”, “us”). BridgeBio is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and controlled entities, substantially all of which are denominated in U.S. dollars. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For consolidated entities where we own or are exposed to less than 100% of the economics, we record "Net loss attributable to redeemable convertible noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests" in our condensed consolidated statements of operations equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective noncontrolling parties.

In determining whether an entity is considered a controlled entity, we applied the VIE and Voting Interest Entity (“VOE”) models. We assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE based on our power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and our obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Entities that do not qualify as a VIE are assessed for consolidation under the VOE model. Under the VOE model, BridgeBio consolidates the entity if it determines that it has a controlling financial interest in the entity through its ownership of greater than 50% of the outstanding voting shares of the entity and that other equity holders do not have substantive voting, participating or liquidation rights. We assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE or whether we have a majority voting interest for entities consolidated under the VOE model at the inception of the arrangement and at each reporting date.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, our results of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit and our cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any other future annual or interim periods.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of 90 days or less from the purchase date to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of amounts invested in money market instruments, such as money market funds and repurchase agreements collateralized with securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies.

BRIDGEBIO PHARMA, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Our marketable securities consist of high investment grade fixed income securities that are primarily invested in commercial paper, corporate bonds, and U.S. government securities. We classify our marketable securities as available-for-sale securities and report them at fair value in cash equivalents or marketable securities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets with related unrealized gains and losses included as a component of stockholders’ deficit. We classify our marketable securities as either short-term or long-term based on each instrument’s underlying contractual maturity date. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity which is included in interest income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary, if any, on available-for-sale securities are included in "Other expense, net". The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in interest income.

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the third parties that hold or issue such assets. Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are held by financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. Our investment policy limits investments to fixed income securities denominated and payable in U.S. dollars such as corporate bonds, corporate commercial paper, U.S. government obligations, and money market funds, and places restrictions on maturities and concentrations by type and issuer.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the total amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
	(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	407,368	$	376,689
Restricted cash		25,503		37,930
Restricted cash, non-current — included in “Other assets”		2,238		2,265
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows	$	435,109	$	416,884

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily represents funds in a controlled account that was established in connection with the Second Amendment of the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement that is described in Note 9. The use of such non-interest-bearing cash is restricted per the terms of the underlying amended loan agreement and is to be used solely for certain research and development expenses directly attributable to the performance of obligations associated with the Navire-BMS License Agreement, which is further described in Note 10. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, restricted cash related to this agreement was $25.4 million and $37.8 million, respectively, which is presented as part of “Restricted cash” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Additionally, under certain lease agreements and letters of credit, we have pledged cash and cash equivalents as collateral. As of March 31, 2023, restricted cash related to such agreements was $0.1 million and $2.2 million, which is presented as part of “Restricted cash” and “Other assets”, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022, restricted cash related to such agreements was $0.1 million and $2.3 million, which is presented as part of “Restricted cash” and “Other assets”, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments that subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash. Substantially all of our cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash are held in financial institutions in the United States. Amounts on deposit may at times exceed federally insured limits. Although management currently believes that the financial institutions with whom it does business will be able to fulfill their commitments to the Company, there is no assurance that those institutions will be able to continue to do so.

credit losses associated with its balances in such accounts as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

We are subject to certain risks and uncertainties and we believe that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on future financial position or results of operations: ability to obtain future financing, regulatory approval and market acceptance of, and reimbursement for, product candidates, performance of third-party contract research organizations and manufacturers upon which we rely, development of sales channels, protection of our intellectual property, litigation or claims against us based on intellectual property, patent, product, regulatory, clinical or other factors, and our ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support our growth.

We are dependent on third-party manufacturers to supply products for research and development activities in our programs. In particular, we rely and expect to continue to rely on a small number of manufacturers to supply us with our requirements for the active pharmaceutical ingredients and formulated drugs related to these programs. These programs could be adversely affected by a significant interruption in the supply of active pharmaceutical ingredients and formulated drugs.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, the novel strain of coronavirus that causes Coronavirus disease 19 (“COVID-19”), a global pandemic. Since then, healthcare providers and hospitals have focused significant amounts of resources on fighting the virus and its variants, and we have experienced delays in or temporary suspension of the enrollment of patients in our subsidiaries’ ongoing clinical trials. Additionally, we may experience delays in certain ongoing key program activities, including commencement of planned clinical trials, as well as non-clinical experiments and Investigational New Drug Application-enabling good laboratory practice toxicology studies. The exact timing of delays and their overall impact on our business are currently unknown and we are monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic as it continues to evolve. While certain measures have been relaxed in certain parts of the world as increasing numbers of people have received COVID-19 vaccines, others have remained in place with some areas continuing to experience renewed outbreaks and surges in infection rates. The extent to which such measures are removed or new measures are put in place will depend upon how the pandemic evolves, as well as the distribution of available vaccines, the rates at which they are administered and the emergence of new variants of the virus. We are continuing to actively monitor the situation and may take further precautionary and preemptive actions as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of public health and safety and that of our patient community, employees, partners, suppliers, and stockholders. We cannot predict the effects that such actions, or the impact of COVID-19 on global business operations and economic conditions, may have on our business or strategy, including the effects on our ongoing and planned clinical development activities and prospects or on our financial and operating results.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to:

•

accruals for research and development activities and contingent clinical, development, regulatory, and sales-based milestone payments in our in-licensing agreements and asset acquisitions,

•

accruals for performance-based milestone compensation arrangements,

•

determining and allocating the transaction price to performance obligations for transactions accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,

•

the expected recoverability and estimated useful lives of our long-lived assets, and

•

additional charges as a result of, or that are associated with, any restructuring initiative as well as impairment and related charges.

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the periods presented.

There are uncertainties on the fair value measurement of the instrument classified under Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs and interrelationships between these unobservable inputs, which could result in higher or lower fair value measurements.

Marketable Securities

The fair value of our marketable securities classified within Level 2 is based upon observable inputs that may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications.

Investments in Equity Securities

We have investments in equity securities of publicly held companies and we do not have restrictions on our ability to sell these securities. We have classified our investments in equity securities within Level 1, as the fair value of these equity securities are derived from observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets. Our investments in equity securities had an aggregate fair value of $40.0 million and $35.5 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we also have an investment in LianBio whose fair value amounted to $9.8 million and $8.2 million, respectively.

Total realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with investment in equity securities during the periods presented consisted of the following:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023			2022
	(in thousands)
Net realized gains (losses) recognized on investment in equity securities sold	$	7,158		$	(1,244	)

Total net gains (losses) included in “Other income expense, net”	$	964		$	(12,866	)

LianBio Warrant

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 our subsidiary, QED Therapeutics, Inc. (“QED”), held a warrant which entitles QED to purchase shares of LianBio (the “LianBio Warrant”, see Note 6). We classify the LianBio Warrant, which pertains to an equity security of a publicly held company, within Level 1 as the fair value of this equity security is derived from observable inputs such as quoted prices in an active market.

Notes

The fair values of our 2.25% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and our 2.50% convertible senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) (collectively, the “Notes”, see Note 9), which differ from their respective carrying values, are determined by prices for the Notes observed in market trading. The market for trading of the Notes is not considered to be an active market and therefore the estimate of fair value is based on Level 2 inputs. As of March 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of our 2029 Notes and 2027 Notes, which have aggregate face values of $747.5 million and $550.0 million, respectively, were $480.4 million and $416.6 million, respectively, based on their market prices on the last trading day for the period. As of December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of our 2029 Notes and 2027 Notes were $314.0 million and $218.6 million, respectively, based on the market price on the last trading day for the period.

Term Loan

The fair value of our outstanding term loan (see Note 9) is estimated using the net present value of the payments, discounted at an interest rate that is consistent with a market interest rate, which is a Level 2 input. The estimated fair value of our outstanding term loan as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $377.4 million and $377.2 million, respectively.

Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

Cash equivalents consist primarily of amounts invested in money market instruments, such as money market funds and repurchase agreements collateralized with securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies. Our marketable securities consist of high investment grade fixed income securities that are primarily invested in commercial paper, corporate bonds, and U.S. government securities.

Cash equivalents and marketable securities classified as available-for-sale consisted of the following:

There have been no significant realized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities for the periods presented. There were no available-for-sale securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 our marketable securities have average contractual maturities of approximately 4 months and 6 months, respectively. We believe that we have the ability to realize the full value of all of these investments upon their respective maturities.

Noncontrolling Interests

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had both redeemable convertible noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests in consolidated partially-owned entities, for which BridgeBio is the primary beneficiary under the VIE model. These balances are reported as separate components outside stockholders’ deficit in “Redeemable convertible noncontrolling interests” and as part of stockholders’ deficit in “Noncontrolling interests” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

BRIDGEBIO PHARMA, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

We adjust the carrying value of noncontrolling interests to reflect the book value attributable to noncontrolling shareholders of consolidated partially-owned entities when there is a change in the ownership during the respective reporting period and such adjustments are recorded to additional paid-in capital. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the adjustments in the aggregate amounted to $(2.8) million and $(0.3) million, respectively. All such adjustments are disclosed within the “Transfers from (to) noncontrolling interests” line item in the condensed consolidated statements of redeemable convertible noncontrolling interests and stockholders’ deficit.

Other Equity Investments

LianBio

In October 2019, our subsidiary, BridgeBio Pharma LLC (“BBP LLC”), entered into an exclusivity agreement with LianBio, pursuant to which BBP LLC received equity in LianBio representing a 10% ownership interest. We account for BBP LLC’s equity interest in LianBio under ASC 321 Investments - Equity Securities as an investment in equity securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded an unrealized gain of $1.6 million and an unrealized loss of $12.3 million, respectively, for the ongoing mark-to-market adjustments of our investment, see Note 3.

Pursuant to a License Agreement entered into in October 2019 between QED and LianBio, QED also received warrants which entitled QED to purchase 10% of the then-fully diluted shares of one of the subsidiaries of LianBio upon achievement of certain contingent development milestones. Changes in fair value of the warrants were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

In October 2021, the warrants held by QED to purchase shares of one of the subsidiaries of LianBio were converted into the LianBio Warrant, which entitles QED to purchase 347,569 shares of LianBio. The LianBio Warrant is measured at fair value on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as part of “Other expense, net.” The LianBio Warrant, which is presented as part of “Other assets” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, had a fair value of $0.7 million and $0.6 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

PellePharm

As of April 15, 2021, BridgeBio had been the primary beneficiary of PellePharm as it had power over key decisions that significantly impact PellePharm’s economic performance. BridgeBio also had the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from PellePharm that could potentially be significant to PellePharm through its common and preferred stock interest in PellePharm. Accordingly, BridgeBio had consolidated PellePharm during the period April 15, 2021 through December 31, 2022.

On January 16, 2023, PellePharm's board of directors authorized the assignment of all PellePharm's assets to PellePharm ABC, LLC for liquidation and distribution under the General Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors (“ABC”).

As part of the ABC proceedings, PellePharm's board of directors resigned effective March 6, 2023. The date the board of directors resigned was determined to be a VIE reconsideration event. Based on the changes to PellePharm’s governance structure and composition of the board of directors as a result of the ABC, BridgeBio was no longer the primary beneficiary, as it no longer had the power over key decisions that significantly impact PellePharm’s economic performance. Accordingly, BridgeBio deconsolidated PellePharm effective during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and recognized a loss of $1.2 million which is presented as part of "Other expense, net" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Intangible Assets

The following table summarizes our recognized intangible assets as a result of the arrangements described in the following sections:


	March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Weighted-average Estimated Useful Lives	Amount			Weighted-average Estimated Useful Lives	Amount
		(in thousands)				(in thousands)
Gross amount	11.7 years	$	32,500		12.0 years	$	32,500
Less: accumulated amortization			(4,387	)			(3,788	)
Total		$	28,113			$	28,712

Amortization expense recorded as part of cost of license revenue and products sold for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 was $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Future amortization expense is $1.8 million for the remainder of 2023, $2.4 million for each of the years from 2024 to 2027 and $16.7 million thereafter.

Novartis License Agreement

In January 2018, QED entered into a License Agreement with Novartis International Pharmaceutical, Inc. or Novartis, pursuant to which QED acquired certain intellectual property rights, including patents and know-how, related to infigratinib for the treatment of patients with FGFR-driven diseases. QED accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition as substantially all of the estimated fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a single identified asset, in-process research and development, or IPR&D, thus satisfying the requirements of the screen test in ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction were measured based on their fair values. The fair value of the IPR&D acquired was charged to research and development expense as it had no alternative future use at the time of the acquisition.

If certain substantial milestones are met, QED could be required to pay up to $60.0 million in regulatory milestone payments, $35.0 million in sales-based milestone payments, and pay royalties of up to low double-digit percentages on net sales. Following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval of TRUSELTIQTM in May 2021, we paid a one-time regulatory milestone payment to Novartis of $20.0 million. We capitalized such payment as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortize the amount over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.

Asset Purchase Agreement with Alexion

In June 2018, our subsidiary Origin Biosciences, Inc., or Origin, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Alexion Pharma Holding Unlimited Company, or Alexion, to acquire intellectual property rights, including patent rights, know-how, and contracts, related to the ALXN1101 molecule. Origin accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition as substantially all of the estimated fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a single identified asset, or IPR&D, thus satisfying the requirements of the screen test in ASU 2017-01. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction were measured based on their fair values. The fair value of the IPR&D acquired was charged to research and development expense as it had no alternative future use at the time of the acquisition.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Origin was required to pay $15.0 million upon the satisfaction of a certain condition, which was met in 2021. We capitalized the amount as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortize it over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis. In addition, under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Origin could be required to pay up to $17.0 million in sales-based milestone payments and royalties of up to low double-digit percentages on net sales.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement entered between Origin and Sentynl Therapeutics, Inc., or Sentynl, in March 2022, or the Origin-Sentynl APA, (see Note 11), Sentynl assumed the obligation to pay sales-based milestone payments and royalties to Alexion that occur subsequent to the closing of the Origin-Sentynl APA when they become due. Origin will continue to be responsible for a regulatory-based milestone payment upon first pricing approval in a European Medicines Agency, or EMA, country of up to $1.0 million when it becomes due. As a result of the Origin-Sentynl APA, we also derecognized the associated intangible asset with a net book value of $13.5 million as this was part of the assets that were transferred to Sentynl.

Diagnostics Agreement with Foundation Medicine

In November 2018, QED and Foundation Medicine, Inc., or FMI, entered into a companion diagnostics agreement relating to QED’s drug discovery and development initiatives. Pursuant to the agreement, QED could be required to pay $12.5 million in regulatory approval milestones over a period of four years subsequent to the FDA approval of a companion diagnostic for TRUSELTIQTM in patients with cholangiocarcinoma. The FDA approved the companion diagnostic for TRUSELTIQTM in May 2021, which resulted in the capitalization of $12.5 million as a finite-lived intangible asset to be amortized over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the amount due to FMI is presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as $2.5 million in "Other accrued liabilities" and $8.5 million in "Other long-term liabilities", respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies

Milestone Compensation Arrangements

We have performance-based milestone compensation arrangements with certain employees and consultants, whose vesting is contingent upon meeting various milestones, with fixed monetary amounts known at inception that can be settled in the form of cash or equity at our sole discretion. We also have performance-based milestone compensation arrangements with certain employees and consultants as part of the 2020 Stock and Equity Award Exchange Program (the “Exchange Program”, see Note 15). The compensation arrangements under the Exchange Program are to be settled in the form of equity only. Performance-based milestone awards that are settled in the form of equity are satisfied in the form of fully-vested restricted stock awards (“RSAs”). We accrue for such contingent compensation when the related milestone is probable of achievement and is recorded in “Accrued compensation and benefits” for the current portion and in “Other long-term liabilities” for the noncurrent portion in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There is no accrued compensation expense for performance-based milestone awards that are assessed to be not probable of achievement. The table below shows our commitment for the potential milestone amounts and the accruals for milestones deemed probable of achievement as of March 31, 2023.


	Potential Fixed Monetary Amount		Accrued Amount (1)
Settlement Type	(in thousands)
Cash	$	10,429	$	871
Stock (2)		52,582		7,864

Amount recorded for performance-based milestone awards that are probable of achievement.

(2)

Includes the performance-based milestone awards that were granted as part of the Exchange Program further discussed in Note 15.

Other Research and Development and Commercial Agreements

We may also enter into contracts in the normal course of business with contract research organizations for clinical trials, with contract manufacturing organizations for clinical supplies, and with other vendors for preclinical studies, supplies, and other services and products for commercial and operating purposes. These contracts generally provide for termination on notice with potential termination charges. As of March 31, 2023, there were no material amounts accrued related to termination charges. As of December 31, 2022, we had liabilities for certain fees that we have incurred related to reprioritization of our research and development projects of approximately $3.3 million (see Note 16).

Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to vendors, lessors, business partners, board members, officers, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, services to be provided by us, our negligence or willful misconduct, violations of law, or intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with directors and

BRIDGEBIO PHARMA, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

certain officers and employees that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers, or employees. No material demands have been made upon us to provide indemnification under such agreements, and thus, there are no claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We also maintain director and officer insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from our obligation to indemnify our directors. To date, we have not incurred any material costs and have not accrued any material liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of these provisions.

Contingencies

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.

Debt

Notes

2029 Notes

On January 28, 2021, we issued an aggregate of $717.5 million principal amount of our 2029 Notes pursuant to an Indenture dated January 28, 2021 (the “2029 Notes Indenture”), between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “2029 Notes Trustee”), in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers (the “2021 Note Offering”) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The 2029 Notes issued in the 2021 Note Offering include $67.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes sold to the initial purchasers (the “2029 Notes Initial Purchasers”) pursuant to the exercise in part of the 2029 Notes Initial Purchasers’ option to purchase $97.5 million principal amount of additional 2029 Notes. On January 28, 2021, the 2029 Notes Initial Purchasers exercised the remaining portion of their option to purchase $30.0 million principal amount of additional 2029 Notes. The sale of those additional 2029 Notes closed on February 2, 2021, which resulted in the total aggregate principal amount of $747.5 million.

The 2029 Notes will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2021, at a rate of 2.25% per year. The 2029 Notes will mature on February 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2029 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of BridgeBio’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of BridgeBio’s common stock, at our election.

We received net proceeds from the 2021 Note Offering of approximately $731.4 million, after deducting the 2029 Notes Initial Purchasers’ discount (there were no direct offering expenses borne by us for the 2029 Notes). We used approximately $61.3 million of the net proceeds from the 2021 Note Offering to pay for the cost of the 2021 Capped Call Transactions described below and approximately $50.0 million to pay for the repurchase of shares of BridgeBio common stock described below.

A holder of 2029 Notes may convert all or any portion of its 2029 Notes at its option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 1, 2028 in multiples of $1,000 only under the following circumstances:

•

During any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2021 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of BridgeBio’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

•

During the five-business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” (as defined in the 2029 Notes Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of BridgeBio’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

•

If we call such notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or

•

Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, as defined in the 2029 Notes Indenture.

BRIDGEBIO PHARMA, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

On or after November 1, 2028 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, a holder may convert all or any portion of its 2029 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing.

The conversion rate will initially be 10.3050 shares of BridgeBio’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $97.04 per share of BridgeBio’s common stock, for a total of approximately 7,702,988 shares).

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or if we deliver a notice of redemption, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 2029 Notes in connection with such a corporate event. The maximum number of shares issuable should there be an increase in the conversion rate is 11,361,851 shares of BridgeBio’s common stock.

We may not redeem the 2029 Notes prior to February 6, 2026. We may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2029 Notes, at our option, on a redemption date occurring on or after February 6, 2026 and on or before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, under certain circumstances. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the 2029 Notes Indenture), holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2029 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The 2029 Notes Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the 2029 Notes Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes then outstanding may declare the entire principal amount of all the Notes plus accrued special interest, if any, to be immediately due and payable. The 2029 Notes are our general unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2029 Notes; equal in right of payment with all of our liabilities that are not so subordinated, including our 2027 Notes; effectively junior to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries.

In connection with the issuance of the 2029 Notes, we incurred approximately $16.1 million of debt issuance costs, which consisted of initial purchasers’ discounts. This was recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the 2029 Notes or approximately their eight-year term.

2027 Notes

On March 9, 2020, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $550.0 million of our 2027 Notes, pursuant to an Indenture dated March 9, 2020 (the “2027 Notes Indenture”), between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “2027 Notes Trustee”), in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers (the “2020 Note Offering”) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The 2027 Notes issued in the 2020 Note Offering include $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes sold to the initial purchasers (the “2027 Notes Initial Purchasers”) resulting from the exercise in full of their option to purchase additional 2027 Notes.

The 2027 Notes will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2020, at a rate of 2.50% per year. The 2027 Notes will mature on March 15, 2027, unless earlier converted or repurchased. The 2027 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of BridgeBio’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of BridgeBio’s common stock, at our election.

We received net proceeds from the 2020 Note Offering of approximately $537.0 million, after deducting the 2027 Notes Initial Purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. We used approximately $49.3 million of the net proceeds from the 2020 Note Offering to pay for the cost of the 2020 Capped Call Transactions described below, and approximately $75.0 million to pay for the repurchase of shares of BridgeBio common stock described below.

A holder of 2027 Notes may convert all or any portion of its 2027 Notes at its option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 15, 2026 in multiples of $1,000 only under the following circumstances:

•

During any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of BridgeBio’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not

consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

•

During the five-business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” (as defined in the 2027 Notes Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of 2027 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of BridgeBio’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or

•

Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, as defined in the 2027 Notes Indenture.

On or after December 15, 2026 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, a holder may convert all or any portion of its 2027 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing.

The conversion rate will initially be 23.4151 shares of BridgeBio’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2027 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $42.71 per share of BridgeBio’s common stock, for a total of approximately 12,878,305 shares). Based on the closing price of our common stock on March 31, 2023, the if-converted value of the 2027 Notes did not exceed its principal amount.

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 2027 Notes in connection with such a corporate event. The maximum number of shares issuable should there be an increase in the conversion rate is 17,707,635 shares of BridgeBio’s common stock.

We may not redeem the 2027 Notes prior to the maturity date, and no sinking fund is provided for the 2027 Notes. If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the 2027 Notes Indenture), holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2027 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The 2027 Notes Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the 2027 Notes Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes then outstanding may declare the entire principal amount of all the 2027 Notes plus accrued special interest, if any, to be immediately due and payable. The 2027 Notes are our general unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2027 Notes; equal in right of payment with all of BridgeBio’s liabilities that are not so subordinated, including our 2029 Notes; effectively junior to any of BridgeBio’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries.

In accounting for the issuance of the 2027 Notes in 2020 under ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, we separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the 2027 Notes by allocating the proceeds between the liability component and the embedded conversion options, or equity component, due to our ability to settle the 2027 Notes in cash, BridgeBio common stock, or a combination of cash and BridgeBio common stock at our option. Effective January 1, 2021, we early adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), and, as a result, we no longer separately account for the liability and equity components of the 2027 Notes, and, instead, account for our 2027 Notes wholly as debt.

In connection with the issuance of the 2027 Notes, we incurred approximately $13.0 million of debt issuance costs, which primarily consisted of initial purchasers’ discounts and legal and other professional fees. We allocated these costs to the liability and equity components based on the allocation of the proceeds. The portion of these costs allocated to the equity component totaling approximately $4.1 million was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in 2020. The portion of these costs allocated to the liability component totaling approximately $8.9 million was recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and was amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the 2027 Notes or approximately their seven-year term.

Capped Call and Share Repurchase Transactions with Respect to the Notes

On each of January 25, 2021 and March 4, 2020, concurrently with the pricing of the 2029 Notes and 2027 Notes, respectively, we entered into separate privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “2021 Capped Call Transactions” and the “2020 Capped Call Transactions”, respectively), or, together, the Capped Call Transactions, with certain financial institutions, or the Capped Call Counterparties. We used approximately $61.3 million and $49.3 million of the net proceeds from the 2021 Note Offering and 2020 Note Offering, respectively, to pay for the cost of the respective Capped Call Transactions. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to BridgeBio’s common stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap initially equal to $131.58 for the 2021 Capped Call Transactions and $62.12 for the 2020 Capped Call Transactions (both of which represented a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of BridgeBio’s common stock on the date of the Capped Call Transactions) and are subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions. The 2021 Capped Calls and 2020 Capped Calls cover 7,702,988 shares and 12,878,305 shares, respectively, of our common stock (subject to anti-dilution and certain other adjustments), which are the same number of shares of common stock that initially underlie the Notes. The 2021 Capped Calls have an initial strike price of approximately $97.04 per share, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2029 Notes. The 2020 Capped Calls have an initial strike price of approximately $42.71 per share, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2027 Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions, entered into by us with the Capped Call Counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the Notes.

These Capped Call instruments meet the conditions outlined in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, to be classified in stockholders’ equity and are not subsequently remeasured as long as the conditions for equity classification continue to be met. We recorded a reduction to additional paid-in capital of approximately $61.3 million and $49.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to the premium payments for the Capped Call Transactions.

Additionally, we used approximately $50.0 million and $75.0 million of the net proceeds from the 2021 Note Offering and 2020 Note Offering to repurchase 759,993 shares and 2,414,681 shares, respectively, of our common stock concurrently with the closing of the Note Offerings from certain of the Notes’ Initial Purchasers in privately negotiated transactions. The agreed purchase price per share of common stock in the repurchases were $65.79 and $31.06, which were the last reported sale prices per share of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, or Nasdaq, on January 25, 2021 and March 4, 2020, respectively. The shares repurchased were recorded as treasury stock.

Term Loan

Loan and Security Agreement

In November 2021, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement,” and as amended by the First Amendment (as defined below) and the Second Amendment (as defined below), the “Amended Loan Agreement”), by and among (i) U.S. Bank National Association, in its capacity as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), (ii) certain lenders (the “Lenders”), (iii) BridgeBio, as a borrower, and (iv) certain subsidiaries of BridgeBio, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”). In May 2022, we entered into the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “First Amendment”) and in November 2022, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), as further described below.

Pursuant to the original terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, the Lenders agreed to extend term loans to us in an aggregate principal amount of up to $750.0 million, comprised of (i) a tranche 1 advance of $450.0 million (the “Tranche 1 Advance”), and (ii) a tranche 2 advance of $300.0 million (the “Tranche 2 Advance”) (collectively, the “Term Loan Advances”). The Tranche 1 Advance under the Loan Agreement was funded on November 17, 2021. The Tranche 2 Advance remained available for funding until December 31, 2022, which was available at our election after the occurrence of certain milestone events relating to data from our clinical trials. The terms related to the Tranche 2 Advance were modified in the First Amendment and Second Amendment as further discussed below. The First Amendment’s term included the reduction of the aggregate amount of the Tranche 2 Advance from $300.0 million to $100.0 million. The Second Amendment eliminated the $100.0 million Tranche 2 Advance. As a result of the Second Amendment, the total aggregate principal amount of the loan is $450.0 million before any mandatory prepayment.

As security for our obligations under the Loan Agreement, each of BridgeBio and the Guarantors granted the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a continuing security interest in substantially all of the assets of BridgeBio and the Guarantors (including all equity interests owned or hereafter acquired by BridgeBio and the Guarantors), subject to certain customary exceptions. Upon exceeding certain investment and disposition thresholds, additional subsidiaries of BridgeBio will be required to join as guarantors.

Any outstanding principal on the Term Loan Advances will accrue interest at a fixed rate equal to 9.0% per annum. 3.0% of which can be a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) until January 1, 2025. Interest payments are payable quarterly following the funding of a Term Loan Advance. We would be required to make principal payments on the outstanding balance of the Term Loan Advances commencing on January 2, 2025 (the “Term Loan Amortization Date”) in nine quarterly installments, plus interest. If we have achieved certain milestone events relating to data from the clinical trial of acoramidis (the “Acoramidis Milestone”) on or prior to January 1, 2025, then the Term Loan Amortization Date would be automatically extended to January 2, 2026. Any amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Advances are due and payable on November 17, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”).

We may prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Advances at any time (in whole, but not in part), plus accrued and unpaid interest and a prepayment premium ranging from 1.0% to 3.0% of the principal amount outstanding depending on the timing of payment (plus a customary make-whole amount if prepaid on or prior to November 17, 2022).

At the Lenders’ election, we are also required to make mandatory prepayments upon the occurrence of certain prepayment events related to the repurchase or redemption of pledged collateral, entry into certain royalty transactions, disposition of other assets or subsidiaries, and entry into licensing and other monetization transactions (all such events “prepayment events”), which could be 50% or 75% of net cash proceeds from such transaction depending on achievement of the Acoramidis Milestone.

Subject to the mandatory prepayment requirements for certain prepayment events, the Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and limited negative covenants which, among other things, limit our ability to (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) pay dividends or make certain distributions, (iii) dispose of our assets, grant liens, license or encumber our assets or (iv) fundamentally alter the nature of our business. BridgeBio and the Guarantors have broad ability to license our intellectual property, dispose of other assets and enter into monetization and royalty transactions, subject in each case to the requirement to make a mandatory prepayment described above. The Loan Agreement provides that BridgeBio and the Guarantors may, subject to certain limitations, (x) repurchase BridgeBio’s equity interest and the equity interest of any of its subsidiaries, (y) enter into any joint ventures or similar investments, and (z) make other investments and acquisitions. Subject to the mandatory prepayment requirement described above, portfolio companies owned by BridgeBio that are not parties to the Loan Agreement are, subject to certain exceptions, not subject to any covenants or limitations under the Loan Agreement.

The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default, including among other things, our failure to make any principal or interest payments when due, the occurrence of certain bankruptcy or insolvency events or the breach of the covenants under the Loan Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Lenders may, among other things, accelerate our obligations under the Loan Agreement.

We received net proceeds from the Tranche 1 Advance of $431.3 million, after deducting debt discount and issuance costs of $18.7 million, of which approximately $1.1 million of debt issuance cost were incurred for professional services provided by KKR Capital Markets LLC. KKR Capital Markets LLC is an affiliate of KKR Genetic Disorder L.P., a related party being a principal stockholder of BridgeBio.

In May 2022, we entered into the First Amendment, which, among other things:

•

permitted the sale of our priority review voucher (“PRV”, see Note 12) and, generally, future dispositions of other PRVs;

•

reduced the aggregate amount of the Tranche 2 Advance from $300.0 million to $100.0 million and modified certain conditions to the availability thereof, as mentioned above;

•

amended the principal payments such that the entire outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan Advances is due and payable at the Maturity Date or upon early termination; and

•

modified the terms and conditions governing when certain entities into which we have made investments will be required to become guarantors under the Amended Loan Agreement.

In June 2022, the receipt of an upfront payment under the license development and commercialization agreement that our subsidiary, Navire Pharma, Inc. (“Navire”), entered into with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”), which is further described in Note 10, triggered certain mandatory prepayment provisions of the Amended Loan Agreement. As a result, we paid $20.5 million to the Lenders in June 2022, of which $20.1 million and $0.4 million were applied to principal and exit fee, respectively.

Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, we exercised our option to convert $3.3 million and $1.8 million of accrued interest into principal via PIK for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, we had cumulatively converted accrued interest into principal via PIK of $18.7 million.

In November 2022, we entered into the Second Amendment, which, among other things:

•

acknowledged that our prior prepayment made with certain cash proceeds received in connection the receipt of an upfront payment under the Navire-BMS License Agreement, which is further described in Note 10, satisfied the mandatory prepayment requirement under the Amended Loan Agreement, on the terms and conditions specified in the Amended Loan Agreement;

•

permitted certain budgeted expenses to be excluded from the definition of cash proceeds subject to the Company’s mandatory prepayment obligations, on the terms and conditions specified in the Amended Loan Agreement, refer to Note 2 under Restricted Cash section for further discussion;

•

removed certain threshold amounts applicable to certain prepayment events; and

•

terminated the Lenders’ $100.0 million Tranche 2 Advance.

License and Collaboration Agreements

License Development and Commercialization Agreement with BMS

On May 12, 2022, BridgeBio and our subsidiary, Navire, entered into an exclusive license development and commercialization agreement with BMS (the “Navire-BMS License Agreement”), pursuant to which Navire granted BMS exclusive rights to develop and commercialize Navire’s product candidate, BBP-398, in all indications worldwide, except for the People’s Republic of China, Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, and South Korea (the “Asia Region”). The development and commercialization of BBP-398 within the Asia Region is governed under the Navire-LianBio License Agreement (as discussed below). The Navire-BMS License Agreement expands an earlier agreement between Navire and BMS that was executed in July 2021 to study BBP-398 in a combination therapy trial to treat advanced solid tumors with KRAS mutations (the “2021 Navire-BMS Agreement”). The Navire-BMS License Agreement does not alter the terms of the 2021 Navire-BMS Agreement.

Under the terms of the Navire-BMS License Agreement, Navire was entitled to receive a non-refundable, upfront payment of $90.0 million, which Navire received in full in June 2022. Additionally, Navire is eligible to receive additional payments totaling up to approximately $815.0 million in the aggregate, subject to the achievement of development, regulatory and commercial milestones, as well as tiered royalties in the low-to-mid teens as a percentage of adjusted net sales by BMS of the licensed products sold worldwide, outside of the Asia Region. Navire will retain the option to acquire higher royalties in the United States in connection with funding a portion of development costs upon the initiation of registrational studies. Based on the terms of the Navire-BMS License Agreement, Navire will continue to lead its ongoing Phase 1 monotherapy and combination therapy trials (collectively, the “Phase 1 Trials”), and BMS will lead and fund all other development and commercialization activities. Navire is fully funding the Phase 1 trials with the exception of the combination therapy governed under the 2021 Navire-BMS Agreement. In accordance with the 2021 Navire-BMS Agreement, both parties are sharing all research and development costs equally for this trial. We have recorded all research and development costs for the Phase 1 Trials, as well as the reimbursement for the costs associated with the trial governed by the 2021 Navire-BMS Agreement within research and development in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

We determined that the Navire-BMS License Agreement falls within the scope of ASC 606 as BMS is a customer in this arrangement, and we identified the following performance obligations in the agreement:

•

an exclusive license to develop and commercialize BBP-398 and the related know-how; and

•

research and development services to complete the Phase 1 Trials for BBP-398 (expected to be completed in 2025).

We determined that the performance obligations outlined above are capable of being distinct and distinct with the context of the contract given such rights and activities are independent of each other. The license can be used by BMS without the research and development services. Similarly, those services provide a distinct benefit to BMS within the context of the contract, separate from the license, as the services could be provided by BMS or another third party without our assistance. We may enter into clinical and commercial supply agreements for the licensed territory. We determined that the optional right to future products under these supply agreements does not represent a material right. In March 2023, Navire and BMS entered into a clinical supply agreement for the

BRIDGEBIO PHARMA, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

supply of clinical quantities of the licensed product. No clinical supplies were provided to BMS during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

We determined the initial transaction price at inception of the Navire-BMS License Agreement to be $90.0 million, which is comprised of the fixed and non-refundable upfront payment. No additional development, regulatory, or sales milestone payments are included in the transaction price, as all such payments are variable consideration that are fully constrained as of March 31, 2023. We include variable consideration in our transaction price to the extent that it is probable that it will not result in a significant revenue reversal when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. As part of management’s evaluation of the variable consideration, we considered numerous factors, including the fact that achievement of the milestones is outside of our control, contingent upon the success of our existing and future clinical trials, BMS’ efforts, and receipt of regulatory approval that is subject to scientific risks of success. Royalty arrangements and commercial-based milestones will be recognized when the sales occur or the milestones are achieved pursuant to the sales-based royalty exception under ASC 606 because the license is the predominant item to which the royalties or commercial-based milestones relate. We will re-evaluate the transaction price at each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.

We allocated the transaction price of $90.0 million based on the stand-alone selling prices (“SSP”) of each of the performance obligations as follows:

•

$70.2 million for the upfront transfer of the license; and

•

$19.8 million for ongoing research and development services.

The SSP for the license was determined using an approach that considered discounted, probability-weighted cash flows related to the license transferred. The SSP for the ongoing research and development services were based on estimates of the associated effort and cost of these services, adjusted for a reasonable gross profit margin that would be expected to be realized under similar contracts.

We recognized revenue for each of the two performance obligations as follows:

•

We recognized revenue related to the license at a point in time upon transfer of the rights and control of the license to BMS. The transfer of the rights and control of the license occurred in June 2022, thus we recognized the full amount allocated to the license and related know-how during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

•

The research and development services performance obligation consists of our completion of the Phase 1 Trials. We are recognizing revenue related to the research and development services over time using an input method to measure progress by utilizing costs incurred to-date relative to total expected costs. We expect to complete the Phase 1 Trials in 2025. Revenue recognized related to this performance obligation for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1.7 million.

Our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023 includes a deferred revenue balance of $13.6 million ($6.7 million presented as “Deferred revenue, current portion” and $6.9 million included in “Other long-term liabilities”) related to our research and development services obligation. Our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 includes a deferred revenue balance of $15.3 million ($8.2 million presented as “Deferred revenue, current portion” and $7.1 million included in “Other long-term liabilities”) related to our research and development services obligation.

License and Collaboration Agreement with Helsinn

On March 29, 2021, QED entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Helsinn Healthcare S.A. (“HHC”) and Helsinn Therapeutics (U.S.), Inc. (“HTU”, and collectively with HHC, “Helsinn”) (the “QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement”), pursuant to which QED granted to HHC exclusive licenses to develop, manufacture and commercialize QED’s product candidate, infigratinib, in oncology and all other indications except achondroplasia or any other skeletal dysplasias, worldwide, except for the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong and Macau (“Greater China”), and under which QED received a co-exclusive license to co-commercialize infigratinib in the United States in the licensed indications. The QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement became effective on April 16, 2021. Upon approval by the FDA in May 2021, QED and HTU co-commercialized infigratinib in the licensed indications in the United States and shared profits and losses on a 50:50 basis. Additionally, QED and Helsinn shared global, excluding Greater China, research and development costs for infigratinib in the licensed indications at a rate of 40% for QED and 60% for Helsinn.

On February 28, 2022, QED and Helsinn amended the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement (the “Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement”) effective as of March 1, 2022. Under the terms of the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, Helsinn had an exclusive license to commercialize infigratinib in the United States and was responsible for developing, manufacturing and commercializing infigratinib in oncology indications except for achondroplasia or any other skeletal dysplasias worldwide, outside of Greater China. QED retains all rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize infigratinib in skeletal dysplasia, including achondroplasia.

Pursuant to the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, QED no longer shared in the commercialization of infigratinib in the licensed indications in the United States or was responsible for any global development costs for infigratinib in the licensed indications.

Additionally, under the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, QED was eligible to receive regulatory and sales-based milestone payments of up to $66.0 million, as well as tiered royalties in the low to mid-teens as a percentage of adjusted net sales by Helsinn of the licensed products sold worldwide, outside of Greater China.

The Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement also provided for a transitional period, which extended from the effective date through August 31, 2022, for which QED was contracted to assist in research and development and commercialization activities. The costs related to QED's contracted activities incurred during the transitional period were fully reimbursable by Helsinn and were due to QED subsequent to the transitional period. Helsinn also agreed to reimburse QED’s obligation to FMI described in Note 7 as part of the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement. In recording this transaction, we recognized a corresponding gain as part of “Other expense, net” for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Effective December 21, 2022, QED and Helsinn, or the Helsinn Parties, entered into a Mutual Termination Agreement or MTA, which terminates the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement and all rights and obligations thereunder. The Helsinn Parties agreed to perform certain close-out services to enable QED to pursue the development, manufacture and commercialization of infigratinib as a potential treatment of non-oncology indications, such as in achondroplasia worldwide, excluding China, Hong Kong, and Macau. As a result of the termination, QED is no longer entitled to any future regulatory or sales-based milestone payments. QED was subject to royalties on net sales of TRUSELTIQTM through March 31, 2023, at which date Helsinn no longer sells the licensed product. The FDA permanently discontinued the distribution of TRUSELTIQTM and all clinical investigations under the associated IND are discontinued. The sales of the licensed product during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was immaterial. The Helsinn Parties have developed a Close-Out Plan, as defined within the MTA. Activities within the Close-Out Plan are to be shared equally subsequent to the first $11.0 million of costs, which are the responsibility of QED. QED reached the threshold of $11.0 million in January 2023. The activities within the Close-Out Plan are expected to be completed in 2023.

In accordance with the MTA, all outstanding obligations under the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration agreement related to the contracted services during the transitional period became due. This includes the reimbursable contracted research and development and commercial activities of $18.8 million and the reimbursement of QED’s obligation to FMI of $12.5 million described in Note 7. In accordance with the payment terms of the MTA, we received $15.0 million from Helsinn in December 2022 and $5.3 million in January 2023. The remaining $11.0 million is related to the remaining reimbursement of QED's obligation to FMI and is due in eleven equal monthly installments of $1.0 million commencing in February 2023, of which we have received $2.0 million as of March 31, 2023. All costs incurred subsequent to the transitional period are considered close-out costs and the responsibilities between the Helsinn Parties and are outlined within the Close-Out Plan, as defined in the MTA. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, QED has incurred $3.6 million of close-out costs of which $2.4 million is subject to 50% reimbursement from Helsinn. As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding receivable due from Helsinn was $10.1 million, of which $9.0 million related to reimbursement of QED’s obligation to FMI and $1.1 million related to reimbursable costs incurred under the Close-Out Plan. As of December 31, 2022, the outstanding receivable due from Helsinn was $16.3 million. The outstanding receivables are presented in “Receivables from licensing and collaboration agreements” within our condensed consolidated balance sheets. All close-out costs incurred, including Helsinn’s reimbursements, are recorded in "Restructuring, impairment and related charges" within our condensed consolidated statement of operations (See Note 16).

The QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, the Amended QED-Helsinn License Collaboration Agreement, and the MTA were considered to be within the scope of ASC 808 as the parties are active participants and are exposed to the significant risks and rewards of the collaborative activity. The QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement were also partially within the scope of ASC 606 for the units of account where Helsinn is identified as a customer. For the units of account in the collaboration arrangement that do not represent a vendor-customer relationship, including the performance of collaborative research and development and commercialization services, we determined that ASC 606 is not appropriate to apply by analogy and applied a reasonable and rational accounting policy election that faithfully depicts the transfer of services to the collaboration partner over the estimated performance period. Reimbursement payments from Helsinn associated with the collaborative research and development and commercialization services are recognized as the related expense is incurred and classified as an offset to the underlying expense and excluded from the transaction price.

We evaluated the terms of the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement and identified Helsinn as a customer with the following two distinct performance obligations: (1) exclusive licenses to develop, manufacture, and commercialize the underlying product, and (2) transfer of inventory within the transitional supply period. The Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement did not give rise to any additional performance obligations. All of the license revenue relating to these units of account accounted for under ASC 606 were recognized in the year ended December 31, 2021.

For the unit of account that is within the scope of ASC 808 relating to collaborative research and development services, pursuant to the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, the Amended QED-Helsinn License Collaboration Agreement, and the MTA, we have recognized Helsinn’s share of research and development expenses of $1.2 million and $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized Helsinn's share of research and development expenses of $1.2 million as a reduction to restructuring, impairment and related charges; whereas, Helsinn's share of research and development expenses of $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, were recognized as a reduction of research and development expenses.

For the unit of account that is within the scope of ASC 808 relating to commercial activities, pursuant to the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, the Amended QED-Helsinn License Collaboration Agreement, and the MTA, we accounted for Helsinn’s share of the co-commercialization activities of nil and $1.2 million as reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

License Agreement with LianBio

Navire

In August 2020, Navire entered into an exclusive license agreement with LianBio, or the Navire-LianBio License Agreement. Pursuant to the Navire-LianBio License Agreement, Navire granted to LianBio an exclusive, sublicensable license under the licensed patent rights and know-how to develop, manufacture and commercialize SHP2 inhibitor BBP-398, or BBP-398, for tumors driven by RAS and receptor tyrosine kinase mutations. Under the terms of the Navire-LianBio License Agreement, LianBio will receive commercial rights in China and selected Asian markets and participate in clinical development activities for BBP-398. In consideration for the rights granted to LianBio, we received a nonrefundable $8.0 million upfront payment, which we recognized as license revenue in 2020. We will also have the right to receive future development and sales milestone payments of up to $382.1 million, and tiered royalty payments from single-digit to low-teens on net sales of the product in licensed territories. We recognized $8.5 million in license revenue, representing a regulatory milestone payment in 2021.

We accounted for the Navire-LianBio License Agreement under ASC 606 and identified the exclusive license as a distinct performance obligation since LianBio can benefit from the license on its own by developing and commercializing the underlying product using its own resources. In addition, we will enter into clinical and commercial supply agreements for the licensed territory. We determined that the optional right to future products under these supply agreements does not represent a material right. In July 2022, Navire and LianBio entered into a clinical supply agreement for the manufacture and supply of clinical quantities of the licensed product. No clinical supplies were provided to LianBio during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

QED

In October 2019, QED entered into an exclusive license agreement with LianBio (the "QED-LianBio License Agreement"). Pursuant to the QED-LianBio License Agreement, QED granted to LianBio an exclusive, sublicensable license under the licensed patent rights and know-how to develop, manufacture and commercialize infigratinib for any and all human prophylactic and therapeutic uses in all cancer indications (including in combination with other therapies) in certain territories outside the United States. Under the QED-LianBio License Agreement, QED received a nonrefundable upfront payment of $10.0 million and is entitled to receive development and sales milestones payments of up to $132.5 million and tiered royalties on net sales ranging from the low to mid-teens. In addition, QED also received warrants which entitled QED to purchase 10% of the then-fully diluted shares of one of the subsidiaries of LianBio upon achievement of certain contingent development milestones (see Note 7).

We accounted for the QED-LianBio License Agreement and the LianBio Exclusivity Agreement as a single transaction under ASC 606 and identified the exclusive license as a distinct performance obligation since LianBio can benefit from the license on its own by developing and commercializing the underlying product using its own resources. In addition, we will enter into clinical and commercial supply agreements for the licensed territory. We determined that the LianBio’s optional right to future products under these supply agreements is not considered to represent a material right. A clinical supply agreement was entered into in the fourth quarter of 2021. No clinical supplies were provided to LianBio during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

License Agreement with Alexion

In September 2019, Eidos, entered into an exclusive license agreement with Alexion Pharma International Operations Unlimited Company, a subsidiary of Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or together Alexion, to develop, manufacture, and commercialize in Japan the compound known as acoramidis (previously known as AG10) and any of its various chemical forms and any pharmaceutical products containing acoramidis, or the Eidos-Alexion License Agreement. Under the agreement, Eidos received an upfront nonrefundable payment of $25.0 million.

Eidos also entered into a stock purchase agreement with Alexion, under which Eidos sold to Alexion 556,173 shares of Eidos common stock at a price per share of $44.95, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $25.0 million. The excess of the purchase price over the value of the Eidos shares, determined based on the closing price of a share of Eidos’ common stock of $41.91 as reported on Nasdaq as of the date of execution, was $1.7 million and recognized in revenue as part of the upfront payment as discussed below.

Eidos is also eligible to receive $30.0 million in regulatory milestone payments subject to the achievement of regulatory milestones. Eidos will also receive royalty payments in the low-teens based on net sales of acoramidis in Japan. The royalty rate is subject to reduction if Alexion is required to obtain intellectual property rights from third parties to develop, manufacture or commercialize acoramidis in Japan, or upon the introduction of generic competition into market.

Eidos accounted for the license agreement under ASC 606 and identified the exclusive license as a distinct performance obligation since Alexion can benefit from the license on its own by developing and commercializing the underlying product using its own resources. Eidos recognized the $25.0 million upfront fee and $1.7 million premium paid for Eidos’ stock for a total upfront payment of $26.7 million in license revenue upon the effective date of the license agreement in September 2019. Eidos determined that the license was a right to use its intellectual property and as of the effective date, it had provided all necessary information to Alexion to benefit from the license and the license term had begun. In addition, Eidos entered into a clinical supply agreement in July 2020 and may enter into a commercial supply agreement for the licensed territory. Eidos determined that the optional right to future products under these supply agreements is not considered to represent a material right. Eidos has shipped insignificant amounts to Alexion as part of the clinical supply agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and has recognized such amounts as license revenue.

Receivables from Licensing and Collaboration Agreements

Receivables from licensing and collaboration agreements represent valid claims against our partners, customers, biopharmaceutical companies including unbilled receivables and royalty payments due from third parties for licensing the Company’s technologies. Unbilled receivables include balances due from our biopharmaceutical customers related to development services and transition-related receivables that are recognized upon incurrence of the costs for the partnered programs but prior to the achievement of contractual billing rights. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had unbilled receivables of $10.4 million and $16.8 million, respectively, of which 94.1% and 97.5%, respectively, of total unbilled receivables related to one partner. Total receivables from licensing and collaboration agreements as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is $10.8 million and $17.1 million, respectively, and is presented as "Receivable from licensing and collaboration agreements."

The Company evaluates the collectability of its receivable from licensing and collaboration agreements based on historical collection trends, the financial condition of payment partners, and external market factors and provides for an allowance for potential credit losses based on management’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have an allowance for credit losses.

In-licensing Agreements

Stanford License Agreement

In April 2016, Eidos entered into a license agreement with the Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University Stanford University, or Stanford University, relating to Eidos’ drug discovery and development initiatives. Under this agreement, Eidos has been granted certain worldwide exclusive licenses to make, use, and sell products that are covered by licensed patent rights. In March 2017, Eidos paid a license fee of $10,000, which was recorded as research and development expense during the year ended December 31, 2017, as the acquired assets did not have any alternative future use. Eidos may also be required to make future payments of up to approximately $1.0 million to Stanford University upon achievement of specific intellectual property, clinical and regulatory milestone events, and pay royalties of up to low single-digit percentages on future net sales, if any. In addition, Eidos is obligated to pay Stanford University a percentage of non-royalty revenue received by Eidos from its sublicensees, with the amount owed decreasing annually for three years based on when the applicable sublicense agreement is executed.

Additionally, under the license agreement with Stanford University, we will pay Stanford University a portion of all nonroyalty sublicensing consideration attributable to the sublicense of the licensed compounds. The license agreement states that if this event occurred in the third year, 10% is payable to Stanford University. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the cost of license revenue was not material.

Leidos Biomedical Research License and Cooperative Research and Development Agreements

In March 2017, TheRas entered into a cooperative research and development agreement, or Leidos CRADA, with Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc., or Leidos. In December 2018, TheRas and Leidos entered into a license agreement, or Initial Leidos License, under which TheRas was granted certain worldwide exclusive licenses to use the licensed compounds. The Leidos Agreements are related to TheRas’ drug discovery and development initiatives. The Initial Leidos License was terminated in 2021. TheRas and Leidos entered into two subsequent license agreements, or Additional Leidos Licenses, in August 2022; the two Additional Leidos Licenses related to (i) KRAS G12C inhibitor and (ii) P13Ka breaker compounds. The Leidos CRADA, Initial Leidos License, and Additional Leidos Licenses are also referred to herein as the Leidos Agreements. For the three months ended

Sale of Nonfinancial Assets

Asset Purchase Agreement with Sentynl

On March 4, 2022, Origin and Sentynl entered into the Origin-Sentynl APA, pursuant to which Sentynl acquired global rights to NULIBRYTM, as well as certain specified assets of Origin, and will be responsible for the ongoing development and commercialization of NULIBRYTM in the United States and developing, manufacturing and commercializing fosdenopterin globally. The transaction closed on March 31, 2022, or the Closing Date. Under terms of the Origin-Sentynl APA, Origin received an upfront payment of $10.0 million upon the Closing Date and is eligible to receive sales milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties in the low single-digits as a percentage of adjusted net sales of products related to the acquired assets. Origin will continue to be responsible for the payment of up to $4.5 million in aggregate payments upon achievement of regulatory-based milestones under the Origin-Alexion APA (see Note 7). In October 2022, we paid $3.5 million of the regulatory-based milestone payment as the initial milestone criteria was met. As of March 31, 2023, Origin will continue to be responsible for a regulatory-based milestone payment upon first pricing approval in a European Medicines Agency, or EMA, country of up to $1.0 million when it becomes due.

We accounted for this transaction under ASC 610-20. Upon the Closing Date, we recognized a loss on sale of $6.3 million within “Other expense, net” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The loss on sale was determined as the difference in the aforementioned upfront payment and the carrying value of the assets purchased by Sentynl of approximately $16.3 million, which comprised mainly of intellectual property rights and related intangible assets and existing inventories as of the Closing Date.

Origin’s sale of the assets covered in the Origin-Sentynl APA was not subject to the limitation on our ability to dispose of assets under the terms of the Amended Loan Agreement (see Note 9).

Leases

We have operating leases for our corporate headquarters, office spaces and laboratory facilities. One of our office space leases has a finance lease component representing lessor provided furniture and office equipment. Our finance lease, which is presented as part of “Property and equipment, net” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, is not material.

Certain leases include renewal options at our election and we include the renewal options when we are reasonably certain that the renewal option will be exercised. The lease liabilities were measured using a weighted-average discount rate based on the most recent borrowing rate as of the calculation of the respective lease liability, adjusted for the remaining lease term and aggregate amount of the lease.

Manufacturing Agreement

In December 2019, we entered into a manufacturing agreement with a vendor to secure clinical and commercial scale manufacturing capacity for the manufacture of batches of active pharmaceutical ingredients for product candidates of certain subsidiaries of BridgeBio. Unless terminated as allowed within the manufacturing agreement, the agreement would have expired five years from when qualified operations begin. Under the terms of the agreement, we were assigned a dedicated manufacturing suite for certain months in each calendar year for a one-time fee of $10.0 million, which would be applied to the buildout, commissioning, qualification, validation, equipping and exclusive use of the dedicated manufacturing suite.

We recorded a construction-in-progress asset of $10.0 million for the payments directly associated with the dedicated manufacturing suite as these payments are deemed to represent a non-lease component. In 2020, we entered into a supplemental agreement with the vendor for certain upgrades on the dedicated manufacturing suite and for additional equipment of approximately $0.2 million. As of December 31, 2021, the readiness determination phase of the dedicated manufacturing suite was expected to be completed in 2022.

In March 2022, we mutually agreed with the vendor to terminate the manufacturing agreement. The termination agreement was formalized effective May 2022. In accordance with the termination agreement, we paid the $2.0 million remaining payable related to the dedicated manufacturing suite and a termination fee of $1.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a pre-tax impairment loss of $10.2 million for the carrying value of the construction-in-progress asset that was no longer recoverable as our rights to the dedicated manufacturing suite will cease pursuant to the proposed termination agreement. The aforementioned impairment loss and the termination fee are included as part of “Restructuring, impairment and related charges” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (see Note 16).

Public Offerings and Share Repurchase Program

2020 Shelf Registration

In July 2020, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “2020 Shelf”) with the SEC in relation to the registration of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and units or any combination thereof. We also simultaneously entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM with Jefferies LLC and SVB Leerink LLC (collectively, the “Sales Agents”), to provide for the offering, issuance and sale by us of up to an aggregate of $350.0 million of our common stock from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings under the 2020 Shelf and subject to the limitations thereof (the “2020 Sales Agreement”). We will pay to the applicable Sales Agents cash commissions of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of sales of common stock under the 2020 Sales Agreement. We did not issue any shares or receive any proceeds from this offering during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold 455,800 shares through this offering at an average price of $10.90 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $4.9 million. As of March 31, 2023, the Company is still eligible to sell up to $345.0 million of our common stock pursuant to the 2020 Sales Agreement under the 2020 Shelf.

2021 Share Repurchase Program

In May 2021, our Board of Directors authorized and approved a stock repurchase program pursuant to which we may purchase up to $150.0 million of BridgeBio’s outstanding common stock. Stock repurchases under the program may be made from time to time, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions and otherwise, at the discretion of our management and in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act, of 1934, as amended, and other applicable legal requirements. The timing, pricing and amounts of these repurchases depended on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock and general market and economic conditions. The stock repurchase program did not obligate us to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We repurchased 3,017,087 shares in the open market at an average price of $49.72 per share for a total of approximately $150.0 million in 2021. The repurchased shares are held in treasury as treasury stock as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

2023 Follow-on Offering

In March 2023, we entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Follow-on Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Evercore Group L.L.C., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and KKR Capital Markets LLC ("KCM"), as representatives of several underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten public offering (the “Follow-on offering”) of 8,823,530 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $17.00 per share. The Company also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase, at the public offering price less underwriting discounts and commissions, up to an additional 1,323,529 shares of Common Stock. The Company paid the Underwriters a commission of 4.3% of the aggregate gross proceeds received from all sales of the common stock under the Follow-on Agreement.

Equity-Based Awards of BridgeBio

In February 2023, the 2019 Inducement Equity Plan was amended and restated to increase the total number of shares authorized for issuance from 1,000,000 shares to 2,000,000 shares. As of March 31, 2023, 7,282,843 shares and 1,290,150 shares were reserved for future issuances under our 2021 Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2021 A&R Plan”) and the Amended and Restated 2019 Inducement Equity Plan (the “A&R 2019 Inducement Plan”), respectively. Pursuant to the Merger Transactions, we also reserved 2,802,644 shares in 2021 specifically under the Eidos Award Exchange (the “Eidos Award Exchange Plan”), all of which were issued upon execution of the Eidos Award Exchange as discussed below. The 2021 A&R Plan, the A&R 2019 Inducement Plan and the Eidos Award Exchange Plan are collectively referred herein as the “Plans”.

2020 Stock and Equity Award Exchange Program (Exchange Program)

On April 22, 2020, we completed our 2020 Stock and Equity Award Exchange Program (the “Exchange Program”) for certain subsidiaries, which was an opportunity for eligible controlled entities’ employees and consultants to exchange their subsidiary equity (including common stock, vested and unvested stock options and RSAs) for BridgeBio equity (including common stock, vested and unvested stock options and RSAs) and/or performance-based milestone awards tied to the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones. The Exchange Program aligns our incentive compensation structure for employees and consultants across the BridgeBio group of companies to be consistent with the achievement of our overall corporate goals. In connection with the Exchange Program, we issued awards of BridgeBio equity under the then 2019 Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2019 A&R Plan”), which was amended and restated into the 2021 A&R Plan mentioned above, to 149 grantees covering 554,064 shares of common stock, 1,268,110 stock options to purchase common stock, 50,145 shares of RSAs and 22,611 shares of performance-based RSAs. The exchange also included performance-based milestone awards of up to $183.4 million to be settled in fully-vested RSAs in the future upon achievement of the milestones. In consideration for all the subsidiaries’ shares tendered, BridgeBio increased its ownership in controlled entities included in the Exchange Program and the corresponding noncontrolling interest decreased.

On November 18, 2020, we completed a stock and equity award under our Exchange Program for a subsidiary. We issued awards of BridgeBio equity under the then 2019 A&R Plan to 16 grantees covering 24,924 shares of common stock, 70,436 stock options to purchase common stock, and 10,772 shares of performance-based stock options to purchase common stock. The exchange also included performance-based milestone awards of up to $11.7 million to be settled in fully-vested RSAs in the future upon achievement of the milestones.

We evaluated the exchange of the controlled entities’ outstanding common stock and equity awards for BridgeBio awards as a modification under ASC 718, Share Based Payments. Under ASC 718, a modification is a change in the terms or conditions of a stock-based compensation award. In assessing the accounting treatment, we consider the fair value, vesting conditions and classification as an equity or liability award of the controlled entity equity before the exchange, compared to the BridgeBio equity received as part of the exchange to determine whether modification accounting must be applied. When applying modification accounting, we considered the type of modification to determine the appropriate stock-based compensation cost to be recognized on April 22 and November 18, 2020, (each the “Modification Date”), and subsequent to the Modification Date.

We considered the total shares of common stock and equity awards, whether vested or unvested, held by each participant in each controlled entity as the unit of account. The controlled entity’s common stock and equity awards in each unit of account was exchanged for a combination of BridgeBio’s common stock, time-based vesting equity awards and/or performance-based milestone awards. Other than the exchange of the controlled entity equity awards for performance-based milestone awards, all other exchanged BridgeBio equity awards retained the original vesting conditions. As a result, there was no incremental stock-based compensation expense resulting from the exchange of time-based equity awards.

At the completion of the Exchange Program, we determined $17.4 million of the performance-based milestone awards were probable of achievement and represented the incremental stock-based compensation cost resulting from the modification of time-based equity awards to performance-based milestone awards. These performance-based milestone awards were to be recognized over a period ranging from 0.7 year to 1.7 years. There was no incremental stock-based compensation cost arising from the completion of the Exchange Program on November 18, 2020. Under ASC 718, we account for such performance-based milestone awards as a liability in “Accrued compensation and benefits” and in “Other long-term liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets due to the fixed milestone amount that will be converted into a variable number of shares of BridgeBio common stock to be granted upon the achievement date.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 we recognized $1.7 million for stock-based compensation cost associated with performance-based milestone awards whereby the milestones were determined to be probable of achievement as of March 31, 2023. Stock-based compensation cost associated with performance-based milestone awards whereby the milestones were determined to be probable of achievement as of March 31, 2022, were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Refer to Note 8 for contingent compensation accrued associated with performance-based milestones that are determined to be probable as of March 31, 2023.

Performance-based Milestone Awards

Apart from the Exchange Program discussed above, we have performance-based milestone compensation arrangements with certain employees and consultants whose vesting is contingent upon meeting various regulatory and development milestones, with fixed monetary amounts known at inception that can be settled in the form of cash or equity at our sole discretion, upon achievement of each contingent milestone. Upon achievement of a contingent milestone and if such performance-based milestone awards are settled in the form of equity, these are satisfied in the form of fully-vested RSAs. We recognize such contingent stock-based compensation expense when the milestone is probable of achievement. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized $1.0 million of stock-based compensation cost associated with performance-based milestone awards whereby the milestones were determined to be probable of achievement as of the reporting date. The stock-based compensation cost for milestone awards associated with performance-based milestone awards that were determined to be probable of achievement was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Refer to Note 8 for contingent compensation accrued associated with performance-based milestone awards that are determined to be probable as of March 31, 2023.

The options granted to employees and non-employees are exercisable at the price of BridgeBio’s common stock at the respective grant dates. The options granted have a service condition and generally vest over a period of four years.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $6.28.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable as of March 31, 2023 in the table above are calculated based on the difference between the exercise price and the current fair value of BridgeBio common stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $0.5 million.

2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) of BridgeBio

On June 22, 2019, we adopted the 2019 ESPP, which became effective on June 25, 2019 and was amended and restated effective as of December 12, 2019. The ESPP initially reserves and authorizes the issuance of up to a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock to participating employees. The ESPP provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance will automatically increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2020, by the lower of: i) 1% of the outstanding number of shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31, ii) 2,000,000 shares or iii) such lesser number of shares as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Under the ESPP, eligible employees may purchase shares of BridgeBio common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market values of the stock as of the beginning or the end of six-month offering periods. An employee’s payroll deductions under the ESPP are limited to 15% of the employee’s compensation and employees may not purchase more than 3,500 of shares of BridgeBio common stock during any offering period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, stock-based compensation expense related to our ESPP was $0.5 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP was not material. As of March 31, 2023, 3,703,691 shares were reserved for future issuance under the ESPP.

Valuation Assumptions

We used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock options and stock purchase rights under the ESPP. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we used the following weighted-average assumptions in the Black-Scholes calculations:


	Stock Options		ESPP
Expected term (in years)	6.00 - 6.02			0.50
Expected volatility	66.23% - 66.34%		86.12% - 113.19%
Risk-free interest rate	3.90% - 4.12%		3.12% - 4.98%
Dividend yield		—		—
Weighted-average fair value of stock-based awards granted	$	7.25	$	5.54

Equity Awards of Eidos

Prior to the Eidos Merger Transactions in 2021, Eidos issued its own equity-based awards under the Eidos 2016 Equity Incentive Plan and the Eidos 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Eidos Plans”). Upon closing of the Eidos Merger Transactions, we issued 2,776,672 stock options to purchase common stock of BridgeBio and 25,972 shares of BridgeBio RSUs to 88 employees of Eidos under the Eidos Award Exchange in exchange for their then outstanding common stock options and RSUs under the Eidos Plans (the “Replaced Awards”). The awards issued in the Eidos Award Exchange have the same vesting terms and conditions as the Replaced Awards. We evaluated the exchange of the awards as a modification under ASC 718 and recognized no incremental compensation cost from such modification.

Restructuring, Impairment and Related Charges

In January 2022, we committed to a restructuring initiative designed to drive operational changes in our business processes, efficiencies and cost savings to advance our corporate strategy and development programs. The restructuring initiative included, among other components, consolidation and rationalization of our facilities, reprioritization of development programs and the reduction in our workforce. We estimate to incur total charges in the range of approximately $6.0 million to $9.0 million for the fiscal year 2023, consisting primarily of winding down costs, exit and other related costs, impairments and write-offs of long-lived assets, and severance and employee-related costs. Our estimate of the range of costs is subject to certain assumptions and actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions. We may also incur additional costs that are not currently foreseeable as we continue to evaluate our restructuring alternatives to drive operational changes in business processes, efficiencies and cost savings.

Income Taxes

BridgeBio is subject to U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes as a corporation. BridgeBio’s tax provision and the resulting effective tax rate for interim periods is determined based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for the effect of discrete items arising in that quarter. There was no provision for income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using statutory rates. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the favorable tax attributes in future tax returns, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our otherwise recognizable net deferred tax assets.

Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax benefits as part of the income tax provision and include accrued interest and penalties with the related income tax liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. To date, we have not recognized any interest and penalties in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, nor have we accrued for or made payments for interest and penalties. Our unrecognized gross tax benefits would not reduce the estimated annual effective tax rate if recognized because we have recorded a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the Inflation Act) into law. The Inflation Act contains certain tax measures, including a corporate alternative minimum tax of 15% on some large corporations and an excise tax of 1% on corporate stock buy-backs. The various provisions of the Inflation Act do not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders of BridgeBio is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders of BridgeBio by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders of BridgeBio is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus all additional common shares that would have been outstanding, assuming dilutive potential common shares had been issued for other dilutive securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, diluted and basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders of BridgeBio was identical since potential common shares were excluded from the calculation, as their effect was anti-dilutive.

The following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, because including them would have been antidilutive:


	As of March 31,
	2023		2022
Unvested RSAs		507,167		1,453,153

Our 2029 Notes and 2027 Notes are convertible, based on the applicable conversion rate, into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination thereof, at our election.

As discussed in Notes 8 and 15, we have performance-based milestone compensation arrangements, whose vesting is contingent upon meeting various regulatory and development milestones, with fixed monetary amounts known at inception that can be settled in the form of cash or equity at our sole election, upon achievement of each contingent milestone. The common stock equivalents of such arrangements were estimated as if the contingent milestones were achieved as of the reporting date and the arrangements were all settled in equity.

Overview

BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. ("we" or the "Company") is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company founded to discover, create, test and deliver transformative medicines to treat patients who suffer from genetic diseases and cancers with clear genetic drivers. BridgeBio’s pipeline of development programs ranges from early science to advanced clinical trials. BridgeBio was founded in 2015 and its team of experienced drug discoverers, developers and innovators are committed to applying advances in genetic medicine to help patients as quickly as possible. Since inception, BridgeBio has created 15 Investigational New Drug applications, or INDs, and had two products approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. We work across over 20 disease states and have over 15 ongoing clinical trials at various stages of development. Several of our programs target indications that we believe present the potential for our product candidates, if approved, to target portions of market opportunities of at least $1.0 billion in annual sales.

We focus on genetic diseases because they exist at the intersection of high unmet patient need and tractable biology. Our approach is to translate research pioneered at academic laboratories and leading medical institutions into products that we hope will ultimately reach patients. We are able to realize this opportunity through a confluence of scientific advances: (i) identification of the genetic underpinnings of disease as more cost-efficient genome and exome sequencing becomes available; (ii) progress in molecular biology; and (iii) the development and maturation of longitudinal data and retrospective studies that enable the linkage of genes to diseases. We believe that this early-stage innovation represents one of the greatest practical sources for new drug creation.

Since our inception in 2015, we have focused substantially all of our efforts and financial resources on acquiring and developing product and technology rights, building our intellectual property portfolio and conducting research and development activities for our product candidates within our wholly-owned subsidiaries and controlled entities, including partially-owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries we consolidate based on our deemed majority control of such entities as determined using either the variable interest entity, or VIE model, or the voting interest entity, or VOE model. To support these activities, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, BridgeBio Services, Inc., (i) identify and secure new programs, (ii) set up new wholly-owned subsidiaries or controlled entities, (iii) recruit key management team members, (iv) raise and allocate capital across the portfolio and (v) provide certain shared services, including accounting, legal, information technology and human resources, as well as workspaces. We have not generated any significant revenue from product sales. To date, we have funded our operations with proceeds from the sale of our equity securities, issuance of convertible notes, debt borrowings and, to a lesser extent, revenue from licensing arrangements and product sales. We do not anticipate generating any revenues from product sales for the rest of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, as the selling activities for our approved products have been transferred or transitioned to our respective partners.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred net losses of $142.7 million and $201.3 million, respectively. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of our product candidates at our wholly-owned subsidiaries and controlled entities. We expect to continue to incur operating and net losses for at least the next several years.

Due to the inherently unpredictable nature of preclinical and clinical development, and given our novel therapeutic approaches and the stage of development of our product candidates, we cannot determine and are unable to estimate with certainty the timelines we will require and the costs we will incur for the development of our product candidates. Clinical and preclinical development timelines and costs, and the potential of development success, can differ materially from expectations due to a variety of factors. For example, in light of the unpredictable impact of COVID-19 and the focus of healthcare providers and hospitals on the virus and its variants, we have experienced delays in or temporary suspensions of the enrollment of patients in our subsidiaries’ ongoing clinical trials. We additionally may experience delays in certain ongoing activities, including commencement of planned clinical trials, non-clinical experiments and IND-enabling good laboratory practice toxicology studies. The impact of COVID-19 has resulted in significant governmental measures worldwide. These measures may result in business, supply, and drug product manufacturing disruptions and in reduced operations, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Accordingly, we may need to take precautionary and preemptive actions as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of public health and safety and that of our patient community, employees, partners, suppliers and stockholders. We cannot predict the effects that such actions, the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, or its continuing impact may have on our business or strategy, including the effects on our ongoing and planned clinical development activities and prospects, or on our financial and operating results.

In January 2022, we committed to a restructuring initiative designed to drive operational changes in our business processes, efficiencies and cost savings to advance our corporate strategy and development programs. The restructuring initiative included, among other components, consolidation and rationalization of our facilities, reprioritization of development programs and the reduction in our workforce. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, our restructuring, impairment and related charges amounted to $3.4 million and $22.7 million, respectively, which consisted primarily of winding down costs, exit and other related costs, impairments and write-offs of long-lived assets, and severance and employee-related costs. We are continuing to evaluate our restructuring initiatives for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and we expect to incur total charges in the range of approximately $6.0 million to $9.0 million. Our estimate of the range of costs is subject to certain assumptions and actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions. We may also incur additional costs that are not currently foreseeable as we continue to evaluate our restructuring alternatives to drive operational changes in our business processes, efficiencies, and cost savings.

Effective December 21, 2022, our subsidiary, QED Therapeutics, Inc, or QED, and Helsinn, or the Helsinn Parties, entered into a Mutual Termination Agreement or MTA, which terminates the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement and all rights and obligations thereunder. The Helsinn Parties agreed to perform certain close-out services to enable QED to pursue the development, manufacture and commercialization of infigratinib as a potential treatment of non-oncology indications, such as in achondroplasia worldwide, excluding China, Hong Kong, and Macau. As a result of the termination, QED is no longer entitled to any future regulatory or sales-based milestone payments. QED was subject to royalties on net sales of TRUSELTIQTM through March 31, 2023, at which date Helsinn no longer sells the licensed product. The FDA has permanently discontinued TRUSELTIQTM and all clinical investigations under the associated IND are discontinued. We completed sales of our licensed product during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and the associated revenue recognized from our licensed product was immaterial. The Helsinn Parties have developed a Close-Out Plan, as defined within the MTA. Activities within the Close-Out Plan are to be shared equally subsequent to the first $11.0 million of costs, which are the responsibility of QED. The activities within the Close-Out Plan are expected to be completed in 2023.

Restricted Cash		25,503			37,930
Investment in equity securities		49,803			43,653

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities, Restricted Cash and Investment in Equity Securities

As of March 31, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $441.5 million, restricted cash of $25.5 million and investment in equity securities of $49.8 million, compared to cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $428.3 million, restricted cash of $37.9 million and investment in equity securities of $43.7 million as of December 31, 2022. Restricted cash primarily represents funds in a controlled account that was established in connection with the Second Amendment of the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement that is described in Note 9. The use of such non-interest-bearing cash is restricted per the terms of the underlying amended loan agreement and is to be used solely for certain research and development expenses directly attributable to the performance of obligations associated with the Navire-BMS License Agreement, which is further described in Note 10.

We consider our investment in equity securities as a source of our liquidity as we may liquidate these shares to fund current operations, should the need arise. The decrease in investment in equity securities is primarily due to decline in fair market value.

Revenue

The following table summarizes our revenue for the following periods:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022		Change
	(in thousands)
Revenue:
License and services revenue	$	1,826	$	235	$	1,591
Product sales		—		1,459		(1,459	)
Total revenue	$	1,826	$	1,694	$	132

License and services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 consists mainly of $1.7 million of license and services revenue from recognition of services revenue under the Navire-BMS License Agreement. License and services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were not material.

The level of license and services revenue that we recognize depends in part upon the estimated recognition period of the upfront payments allocated to continuing performance obligations, the achievement of milestones and other contingent events, the level of effort incurred for research and development contracted services, and entering into new collaboration agreements, if any. We do not anticipate to generate any revenues from product sales, as the selling activities for our approved products have been transferred or transitioned to our respective partners during fiscal year 2022 (see Notes 10 and 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements).

Operating Costs and Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

The following table summarizes our research and development expenses for the following periods:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022		Change
	(in thousands)
Research and development	$	92,861	$	107,649	$	(14,788	)

Research and development expenses decreased by $14.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to a decrease in personnel related expenses and our external costs as a result of reprioritization of our development programs in line with our restructuring initiative that began in the first quarter of 2022.

Pursuant to the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, Helsinn shared 60% of our research and development costs for infigratinib for certain indications as stipulated under the agreement. Upon the effective date of the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, March 1, 2022, Helsinn is solely responsible for development costs for infigratinib for certain indications and our incurred costs during the transitional period are fully reimbursable. As discussed in the Overview section in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition, effective December 21, 2022, QED and Helsinn, or the Helsinn Parties, entered into a MTA which terminates the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement and all rights and obligations thereunder. The Helsinn Parties agree to perform certain close-out services to enable QED to pursue the development, manufacture and commercialization of infigratinib as a potential treatment of non-oncology indications, such as in achondroplasia worldwide, excluding China, Hong Kong, and Macau. All close-out costs are presented as part of “Restructuring, impairment and related charges” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized Helsinn's share of research and development expenses of $1.2 million as a reduction to restructuring, impairment and related charges; whereas, Helsinn's share of research and development expenses of $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, were recognized as a reduction of research and development expenses.

Refer to Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement and the termination of the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement.

Research and development costs consist primarily of external costs, such as fees paid to consultants, contractors, contract manufacturing organizations, or CMOs, and contract research organizations, or CROs, in connection with our preclinical and clinical development activities and are tracked on a program-by-program basis. License fees and other costs incurred after a product candidate has been designated and that are directly related to the product candidate are included in the specific program expense. License fees and other costs incurred prior to designating a product candidate are included in early-stage research programs.

The following table summarizes our research and development expenses by program incurred for the following periods:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
	(in thousands)
Acoramidis (Previously known as AG10)	$	21,331	$	19,811

Other research programs		14,364		20,977
Total	$	92,861	$	107,649

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The following table summarizes our selling, general and administrative expenses for the following periods:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022		Change
	(in thousands)
Selling, general and administrative	$	31,108	$	43,713	$	(12,605	)

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, mainly due to the streamlining of costs as a result of our restructuring initiative.

Restructuring, Impairment and Related Charges

The following table summarizes our restructuring, impairment and related charges during the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022		Change
	(in thousands)
Restructuring, impairment and related charges	$	3,369	$	22,662	$	(19,293	)

As discussed in Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, in January 2022, we committed to a restructuring initiative designed to drive operational changes in our business processes, efficiencies and cost savings to advance our corporate strategy and development programs. The restructuring initiative included, among other components, consolidation and rationalization of our facilities, reprioritization of development programs and the reduction in our workforce. We expect to incur total charges in the range of approximately $6.0 million to $9.0 million for the fiscal year 2023, consisting primarily of winding down costs, exit and other related costs, impairments and write-offs of long-lived assets, and severance and employee-related costs. Our estimate of the range of costs is subject to certain assumptions and actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions. We may also incur additional costs that are not currently foreseeable as we continue to evaluate our restructuring alternatives to drive operational changes in business processes, efficiencies and cost savings.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest Income

The following table summarizes our interest income during the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022		Change
	(in thousands)
Interest income	$	4,153	$	267	$	3,886

Interest income consists of interest income earned on our cash equivalents and marketable securities. The increase in interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 is primarily due to higher interest rates on our cash equivalents and marketable securities. Generally, increases and decreases in interest income are attributable to changes in the interest-bearing average balances of our cash equivalents and marketable securities and fluctuations in interest rates.

Interest Expense

The following table summarizes our interest expense during the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023			2022			Change
	(in thousands)
Interest expense	$	(20,121	)	$	(20,344	)	$	223

Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense incurred under our 2029 Notes issued in January 2021, our 2027 Notes issued in March 2020 and our term loan with various lenders under the Loan Agreement dated November 17, 2021, as amended. Generally, increases and decreases in interest expense are attributable to changes in the principal amounts of our debt.

Other Expense, net

The following table summarizes our other expense during the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023			2022			Change
	(in thousands)
Other expense, net	$	(601	)	$	(7,575	)	$	6,974

Other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2023 consists mainly of the $1.2 million loss from the deconsolidation of PellePharm, partially offset by the net realized and unrealized gains from changes in fair value of our equity security investments of $1.0 million.

Other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2022 consists mainly of net realized and unrealized losses from changes in the fair value of our equity security investment of $12.9 million, gain from recognition of a receivable from Helsinn under the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement of $12.5 million, and loss from disposal of Origin’s assets of $6.3 million.

Net Loss Attributable to Redeemable Convertible Noncontrolling Interests and Noncontrolling Interests

The following table summarizes our net loss attributable to redeemable convertible noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests during the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022		Change
	(in thousands)
Net loss attributable to redeemable convertible noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests	$	2,576	$	4,933	$	(2,357	)

Net loss attributable to redeemable convertible noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated statements of operations consists of the portion of the net loss of those consolidated entities that is not allocated to us. Changes in the amount of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests are directly impacted by changes in the net loss of our consolidated entities and are the result of ownership percentage changes. Refer to Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations primarily through the sale of our equity securities, issuance of convertible notes, debt borrowings, revenue from certain licensing arrangements and sale of certain assets. As of March 31, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $441.5 million, restricted cash of $25.5 million and investments in equity securities of $49.8 million. We consider our investments in equity securities as a source of our liquidity as we may liquidate these securities to fund current operations, should the need arise. Restricted cash related to the Navire-BMS License Agreement under the Loan agreement was $25.5 million, which is presented as part of “Restricted cash” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The funds held by our wholly-owned subsidiaries and controlled entities are available for specific entity usage. As of March 31, 2023, our outstanding debt was $1.7 billion, net of debt discounts and issuance costs and accretion.

Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we incurred net losses of $484.7 million, $586.5 million and $505.5 million respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred net losses of $142.7 million. We had an accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2023 of $2.1 billion. While we have undertaken a restructuring initiative to drive operational change in business processes, efficiencies and cost savings, we expect to continue to incur operating and net losses over the next several years as we continue to fund our drug development and discovery efforts, as well as costs related to commercial launch readiness for our late-stage programs. In particular, to the extent we advance our programs into and through later-stage clinical trials without a partner, we will incur substantial expenses. Our current business plan is also subject to significant uncertainties and risks as a result of, among other factors, our ability to generate product sales sufficient to achieve profitability, which will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of product candidates at our consolidated entities as well as our ability to partner in the development of certain clinical programs, as well as the levels of our operating expenses.

Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements include contractual payments related to our 2029 Notes, 2027 Notes and term loan (see Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements), obligations under our real estate leases (see Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements) and the remaining liabilities under our restructuring initiative (see Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements).

We also have performance-based milestone compensation arrangements with certain employees and consultants, whose vesting is contingent upon meeting various regulatory and development milestones, with fixed monetary amounts known at inception that can be settled in the form of cash or equity at our sole election, upon achievement of each contingent milestone (see Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements).

Additionally, we have certain contingent payment obligations under various license and collaboration agreements in which we are required to make milestone payments upon successful completion and achievement of certain intellectual property, clinical, regulatory and sales milestones. We also enter into agreements in the normal course of business with CROs and other vendors for clinical trials and with vendors for preclinical studies and other services and products for operating purposes, which are generally cancelable upon written notice with potential termination charges.

We expect our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, restricted cash, and investment in equity securities will fund our operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q based on current operating plans and financial forecasts. If our current operating plans or financial forecasts change, including as a result of general market and economic conditions, inflationary pressures, supply chain issues and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our research and development activities, we may require additional funding sooner in the form of public or private equity offerings, debt financings or additional collaborations and licensing arrangements. However, future financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

In addition, we are closely monitoring macroeconomic events, including the COVID-19 pandemic and inflationary pressures, which may negatively impact our financial and operating results. We will continue to assess our operating costs and expenses and our cash and cash equivalents and, if circumstances warrant, we will make appropriate adjustments to our operating plan.

Sources of Liquidity

Initial public offering and other public offerings

On July 7, 2020, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR, or the 2020 Shelf, with the SEC in relation to the registration of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and units or any combination thereof. We also simultaneously entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement, or the 2020 Sales Agreement, with Jefferies LLC and SVB Leerink LLC, or collectively, the Sales Agents, to provide for the offering, issuance and sale by us of up to an aggregate of $350.0 million of our common stock from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings under the 2020 Shelf and subject to the limitations thereof. We will pay to the applicable Sales Agents cash commissions of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of sales of common stock under the 2020 Sales Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold 455,800 shares through this offering at an average price of $10.90 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $4.9 million. There were no shares sold through this offering during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company is still eligible to sell up to $345.0 million of our common stock pursuant to the 2020 Sales Agreement under the 2020 Shelf.

On March 10, 2023, we completed a Follow-on public offering of our common stock. Pursuant to the Follow-on public offering we issued and sold 8,823,530 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $17.00 per share. We received net proceeds of $143.0 million from the Follow-on public offering, after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions of $6.5 million and offering costs of $0.5 million. We currently expect to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund clinical and pre-clinical development of our current and future product candidates, conduct research activities, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase, at the public offering price less underwriting discounts and commissions, up to an additional 1,323,529 shares of our common stock. On April 3, 2023, the underwriters partially exercised their 30-day option to purchase additional shares, for which 63,470 shares were issued for net proceeds of $1.0 million, after deducting underwriting fees and commissions of less than $0.1 million.

Debt

As of March 31, 2023, we have borrowings under the 2029 Notes, the 2027 Notes and the Amended Loan Agreement, which are discussed below.

2029 Notes

In January 2021, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $747.5 million of our 2029 Notes, pursuant to an Indenture dated January 28, 2021, or the 2029 Notes Indenture, between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, or the 2029 Notes Trustee, in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers, or the 2021 Note Offering, pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

The 2029 Notes accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2021, at a rate of 2.25% per year. The 2029 Notes will mature on February 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2029 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election.

We received net proceeds from the 2021 Note Offering of approximately $731.4 million, after deducting the 2029 Notes Initial Purchasers’ discount. There were no direct offering expenses borne by us for the 2029 Notes. We used approximately $61.3 million of the net proceeds from the 2021 Note Offering to pay for the cost of the 2021 Capped Call Transactions and approximately $50.0 million to pay for the repurchase of shares of our common stock.

We may not redeem the 2029 Notes prior to February 6, 2026. We may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2029 Notes, at our option, on a redemption date occurring on or after February 6, 2026 and on or before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, under certain circumstances. No sinking fund is provided for the 2029 Notes. If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the 2029 Notes Indenture), holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2029 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The 2029 Notes Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the 2029 Notes Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes then outstanding may declare the entire principal amount of all the Notes plus accrued special interest, if any, to be immediately due and payable. The 2029 Notes are our general unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2029 Notes; equal in right of payment with all of our liabilities that are not so subordinated, including our 2027 Notes; effectively junior to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries.

Refer to Note 9 in our condensed consolidated financial statements for other details, including our future minimum payments under the 2029 Notes.

2027 Notes

In March 2020, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $550.0 million of our 2027 Notes, pursuant to an Indenture dated March 9, 2020, or the Indenture, between BridgeBio and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, or the Trustee, in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers, or the 2020 Note Offering, pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

The 2027 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of BridgeBio and accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2020, at a rate of 2.50% per year. The 2027 Notes will mature on March 15, 2027, unless earlier converted or repurchased. Upon conversion, the 2027 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election.

We received net proceeds from the 2020 Note Offering of approximately $537.0 million, after deducting the Initial Purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. We used approximately $49.3 million of the net proceeds from the 2020 Note Offering to pay for the cost of the Capped Call Transactions, and approximately $75.0 million to pay for the repurchases of shares of our common stock in connection with the 2020 Note Offering.

We may not redeem the 2027 Notes prior to the maturity date, and no sinking fund is provided for the 2027 Notes. If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2027 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes then outstanding may declare the entire principal amount of all the Notes plus accrued special interest, if any, to be immediately due and payable. The 2027 Notes are our general unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2027 Notes; equal in right of payment with all of our liabilities that are not so subordinated; effectively junior to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries.

Refer to Note 9 in our condensed consolidated financial statements for other details, including our future minimum payments under the 2027 Notes.

Loan and Security Agreement

In November 2021, we entered into the Loan Agreement, by and among (i) U.S. Bank National Association, in its capacity as administrative agent (in such capacity, the Administrative Agent), and collateral agent (in such capacity, the Collateral Agent), (ii) certain lenders, or the Lenders, (iii) BridgeBio, as a borrower, and (iv) certain subsidiaries of BridgeBio, as guarantors, or the Guarantors. In May 2022, we entered into the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement, or the First Amendment, and in November 2022, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Loan Agreement, or the Second Amendment, as further described below.

Pursuant to the original terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, the Lenders agreed to extend term loans to us in an aggregate principal amount of up to $750.0 million, comprised of (i) a tranche 1 advance of $450.0 million, or the Tranche 1 Advance, and (ii) a tranche 2 advance of $300.0 million, or the Tranche 2 Advance, or collectively, the Term Loan Advances. The Tranche 1 Advance under the Loan Agreement was funded on November 17, 2021. The Tranche 2 Advance remained available for funding until December 31, 2022, which was available at our election after the occurrence of certain milestone events relating to data from our clinical trials. The terms related to the Tranche 2 Advance were modified in the First Amendment and Second Amendment as further discussed below. The First Amendment included the reduction of the aggregate amount of the Tranche 2 Advance from $300.0 million to $100.0 million. The Second Amendment eliminated the $100.0 million Tranche 2 Advance. As a result of the Second Amendment, the total aggregate principal amount of the loan is $450.0 million before any mandatory prepayment.

As security for our obligations under the Loan Agreement, each of BridgeBio and the Guarantors granted the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a continuing security interest in substantially all of the assets of BridgeBio and the Guarantors, (including all equity interests owned or hereafter acquired by BridgeBio and the Guarantors), subject to certain customary exceptions. Upon exceeding certain investment and disposition thresholds, additional subsidiaries of BridgeBio will be required to join as guarantors.

Any outstanding principal on the Term Loan Advances will accrue interest at a fixed rate equal to 9.0% per annum. 3.0% of which interest can be paid in kind, or PIK, until January 1, 2025. Interest payments are payable quarterly following the funding of a Term Loan Advance. We will be required to make principal payments on the outstanding balance of the Term Loan Advances commencing on January 2, 2025, or the Term Loan Amortization Date in nine quarterly installments, plus interest. If we have achieved certain milestone events relating to data from the clinical trial of acoramidis, or the Acoramidis Milestone, on or prior to January 1, 2025, then the Term Loan Amortization Date will be automatically extended to January 2, 2026. Any amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Advances are due and payable on November 17, 2026, or the Maturity Date.

dividends or make certain distributions, (iii) dispose of our assets, grant liens, license or encumber our assets or (iv) fundamentally alter the nature of our business. BridgeBio and the Guarantors have broad ability to license our intellectual property, dispose of other assets and enter into monetization and royalty transactions, subject in each case to the requirement to make a mandatory prepayment described above. The Loan Agreement provides that BridgeBio and the Guarantors may, subject to certain limitations, (x) repurchase BridgeBio’s equity interest and the equity interest of any of its subsidiaries, (y) enter into any joint ventures or similar investments, and (z) make other investments and acquisitions. Subject to the mandatory prepayment requirement described above, portfolio companies owned by BridgeBio that are not parties to the Loan Agreement are, subject to certain exceptions, not subject to any covenants or limitations under the Loan Agreement.

The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default, including, among other things, our failure to make any principal or interest payments when due, the occurrence of certain bankruptcy or insolvency events or the breach of the covenants under the Loan Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Lenders may, among other things, accelerate our obligations under the Loan Agreement.

We received net proceeds from the Tranche 1 Advance of $431.3 million, after deducting debt discount and issuance costs of $18.7 million, of which approximately $1.1 million of debt issuance costs were incurred for professional services provided by KKR Capital Markets LLC. KKR Capital Markets LLC is an affiliate of KKR Genetic Disorder L.P., a related party being a principal stockholder of BridgeBio.

In May 2022, we entered into the First Amendment, which, among other things:

•

permitted the sale of our priority review voucher, or PRV (see Note 12) and, generally, future dispositions of other PRVs;

•

reduced the aggregate amount of the Tranche 2 Advance from $300.0 million to $100.0 million and modified certain conditions to the availability thereof, as mentioned above;

•

amended the principal payments such that the entire outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan Advances is due and payable at the Maturity Date or upon early termination; and

•

modified the terms and conditions governing when certain entities into which we have made investments will be required to become guarantors under the Amended Loan Agreement.

In June 2022, the receipt of an upfront payment under the Navire-BMS License Agreement, which is further described in Note 10, triggered certain mandatory prepayment provisions of the Amended Loan Agreement. As a result, we paid $20.5 million to the Lenders, of which $20.1 million and $0.4 million were applied to principal and exit fee, respectively.

In November 2022, we entered into the Second Amendment, which, among other things:

•

acknowledged that our prior prepayment made with certain cash proceeds received in connection with the receipt of an upfront payment under the Navire-BMS License Agreement, which is further described in Note 10, satisfied the mandatory prepayment requirement under the Amended Loan Agreement, on the terms and conditions specified in the Amended Loan Agreement;

•

permitted certain budgeted expenses to be excluded from the definition of cash proceeds subject to the Company's mandatory prepayment obligations, on the terms and conditions specified in the Amended Loan Agreement; refer to Note 2 under Restricted Cash section for further discussion;

•

removed certain threshold amounts applicable to certain prepayment events; and

•

terminated the Lenders' $100.0 million Tranche 2 Advance.

Refer to Note 9 in our condensed consolidated financial statements for other details, including our future minimum payments under the Loan Agreement.

Cash Flows

The $31.8 million net cash outflow related to changes in operating assets and liabilities was attributed mainly to a decrease of $18.4 million in accrued compensation and benefits mainly due to timing of payments, a decrease of $8.6 million in other accrued and long-term liabilities primarily due to payment of accrued interest, an increase of $3.5 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and a decrease of $3.8 million in accounts payable due to timing of payments, partially offset by a decrease of $6.3 million from licensing and collaboration agreements receivables primarily due to collections.

Net cash used in operating activities was $160.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, consisting primarily of our net loss of $201.3 million, adjusted for non-cash items including $24.1 million in stock-based compensation expense, $12.9 million in net loss from our investment in equity securities, $12.7 million in impairment of long-lived assets, $12.5 million gain from recognition of a receivable from Helsinn under the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement and $6.3 million loss on sale of assets in connection with the Origin-Sentynl APA, as well as $10.1 million net cash outflow related to changes in operating assets and liabilities. The $10.1 million net cash outflow related to changes in operating assets and liabilities was attributed mainly to a decrease of $16.9 million in accrued compensation and benefits mainly due to timing of payments, a decrease of $2.9 million in other accrued and other long-term liabilities primarily due to payment of accrued interest, partially offset by a decrease of $10.3 million in receivable from licensing and collaboration agreements.

Net Cash Flows Provided by Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, attributable primarily to $18.0 million in maturities of marketable securities, $42.3 million in proceeds from the sale of equity securities, partially offset by purchases of investment in equity securities of $47.5 million.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $138.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, consisting primarily of $186.7 million in maturities of marketable securities, $10.0 million in upfront payment received under the Origin-Sentynl APA and $6.7 million sale of investment in equity securities, partially offset by purchases of marketable securities of $55.7 million and purchases of investment in equity securities of $8.2 million.

Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $150.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, consisting primarily of $143.0 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock in the Follow-on offering.

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Activities within our financing activities were not meaningful during the period.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as revenues, if any, and 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.

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC, except for certain updates to our accounting policy as discussed in Note 2 in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no significant changes in recently adopted or issued accounting pronouncements from those disclosed in the section titled “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of March 31, 2023, we held cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash (current) of $467.0 million. Our cash equivalents consist of amounts invested in money market accounts, such as money market funds, short-term commercial paper and agency discount notes. Our marketable securities consist of high investment grade fixed income securities that are primarily invested in commercial paper, corporate bonds, and U.S. government securities. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. We have not been exposed nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. We do not believe that our cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities have a significant risk of default or illiquidity.

As of March 31, 2023, we had no outstanding debt subject to variable interest rates. Our 2029 Notes, 2027 Notes and term loan had principal balances of $747.5 million, $550.0 million and $448.6 million, respectively, and bear fixed interest rates. Our cash flows on these debt obligations are not subject to variability as a result of changes in interest rates.

We are exposed to changes in the fair value of our investment in equity securities. As of March 31, 2023, our investment in equity securities, which consist of equity securities of publicly held companies, had a balance of $49.8 million. These shares are carried in our condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value based on the closing price of the shares owned on the last trading day of the reporting period. Fluctuations in the underlying bid price of the shares could result in material gains or losses.

Inflation has increased during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and is expected to continue to increase for the near future. Inflationary factors, such as increases in the cost of our raw materials, clinical supplies, interest rates and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, we may experience some effect in the near future if inflation rates continue to rise. Significant adverse changes in inflation and prices in the future could result in material losses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic and current reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023 and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of that date. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company 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 the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were not party to any material legal proceedings. In the future, we may become party to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe we are party to any claim or litigation the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse effect on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, including under the heading “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, the risks and uncertainties that we believe are most important for you to consider are discussed below and in “Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. The risks described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults, or non-performance by financial institutions or transactional counterparties, could adversely affect the Company’s current and projected business operations and its financial condition and results of operations.

Actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. For example, on March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as receiver. Similarly, on March 12, 2023, Signature Bank and Silvergate Capital Corp. were each swept into receivership and thereafter, First Republic Bank on May 1, 2023. Recently, the Federal Reserve issued a self-assessment report acknowledging it did not fully appreciate the extent of risks involved and noting the need to evaluate how it supervises a bank’s management of interest rate risk and liquidity risk, including the particular risks of banks similar to SVB with rapid growth and concentrated business models. Although a statement by the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC indicated that all depositors of SVB would have access to all of their money after only one business day of closure, including funds held in uninsured deposit accounts, borrowers under credit agreements, letters of credit and certain other financial instruments with SVB, Signature Bank or any other financial institution that is placed into receivership by the FDIC may be unable to access undrawn amounts thereunder. If any of our lenders or counterparties to any such instruments were to be placed into receivership, we may be unable to access such funds. In addition, if any of our customers, suppliers or other parties with whom we conduct business are unable to access funds pursuant to such instruments or lending arrangements with such a financial institution, such parties’ ability to pay their obligations to us or to enter into new commercial arrangements requiring additional payments to us could be adversely affected. In this regard, counterparties to SVB credit agreements and arrangements, and third parties such as beneficiaries of letters of credit (among others), may experience direct impacts from the closure of SVB and uncertainty remains over liquidity concerns in the broader financial services industry. Similar impacts have occurred in the past, such as during the 2008-2010 financial crisis. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we have not experienced any credit losses associated with our cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash account balances held by financial institutions.

Inflation and rapid increases in interest rates have led to a decline in the trading value of previously issued government securities with interest rates below current market interest rates. Although the U.S. Department of Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board have announced a program to provide up to $25 billion of loans to financial institutions secured by certain of such government securities held by financial institutions to mitigate the risk of potential losses on the sale of such instruments, widespread demands for customer withdrawals or other liquidity needs of financial institutions for immediately liquidity may exceed the capacity of such program. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the U.S. Department of Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board will provide access to uninsured funds in the future in the event of the closure of other banks or financial institutions, or that they would do so in a timely fashion.

Although we assess our banking and customer relationships as we believe necessary or appropriate, our access to funding sources and other credit arrangements in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize our current and projected future business operations could be significantly impaired by factors that affect the Company, the financial institutions with which the Company has credit agreements or arrangements directly, or the financial services industry or economy in general. These factors could include, among others, events such as liquidity constraints or failures, the ability to perform obligations under various types of financial, credit or liquidity agreements or arrangements, disruptions or instability in the financial services industry or financial markets, or concerns or negative expectations about the prospects for companies in the financial services industry or the supervision thereof. These factors could involve financial institutions or financial services industry companies with which the Company has financial or business relationships, but could also include factors involving financial markets or the financial services industry generally.

The results of events or concerns that involve one or more of these factors could include a variety of material and adverse impacts on our current and projected business operations and our financial condition and results of operations. These could include, but may not be limited to, the following:

•

Delayed access to deposits or other financial assets or the uninsured loss of deposits or other financial assets;

•

Delayed or lost access to, or reductions in borrowings available under revolving existing credit facilities or other working capital sources and/or delays, inability or reductions in the company’s ability to refund, roll over or extend the maturity of, or enter into new credit facilities or other working capital resources;

•

Potential or actual breach of contractual obligations that require the Company to maintain letters of credit or other credit support arrangements;

•

Potential or actual breach of financial covenants in our credit agreements or credit arrangements;

•

Potential or actual cross-defaults in other credit agreements, credit arrangements or operating or financing agreements; or

•

Termination of cash management arrangements and/or delays in accessing or actual loss of funds subject to cash management arrangements.

In addition, investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on acceptable terms or at all. Any decline in available funding or access to our cash and liquidity resources could, among other risks, adversely impact our ability to meet our operating expenses, financial obligations or fulfill our other obligations, result in breaches of our financial and/or contractual obligations or result in violations of federal or state wage and hour laws. Any of these impacts, or any other impacts resulting from the factors described above or other related or similar factors not described above, could have material adverse impacts on our liquidity and our current and/or projected business operations and financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, any further deterioration in the macroeconomic economy or financial services industry could lead to losses or defaults by our customers or suppliers, which in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our current and/or projected business operations and results of operations and financial condition. For example, a customer may fail to make payments when due, default under their agreements with us, become insolvent or declare bankruptcy, or a supplier may determine that it will no longer deal with us as a customer. In addition, a customer or supplier could be adversely affected by any of the liquidity or other risks that are described above as factors that could result in material adverse impacts on the Company, including but not limited to delayed access or loss of access to uninsured deposits or loss of the ability to draw on existing credit facilities involving a troubled or failed financial institution. Any customer or supplier bankruptcy or insolvency, or the failure of any customer to make payments when due, or any breach or default by a customer or supplier, or the loss of any significant supplier relationships, could result in material losses to the Company and may have a material adverse impact on our business.

Exhibit 10.4

BRIDGEBIO PHARMA, INC.

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2019 INDUCEMENT EQUITY PLAN

SECTION 1. GENERAL PURPOSE OF THE PLAN; DEFINITIONS

The name of the plan is the BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. Amended and Restated 2019 Inducement Equity Plan (formerly known as the BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. 2019 Inducement Equity Plan) (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to enable BridgeBio Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and its Subsidiaries to grant equity awards to induce highly-qualified prospective officers and employees who are not currently employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries to accept employment and to provide them with a proprietary interest in the Company. It is anticipated that providing such persons with a direct stake in the Company’s welfare will assure a closer identification of their interests with those of the Company and its stockholders, thereby stimulating their efforts on the Company’s behalf and strengthening their desire to remain with the Company. The Company intends that the Plan be reserved for persons to whom the Company may issue securities without stockholder approval as an inducement pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc.

SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN; ADMINISTRATOR AUTHORITY TO SELECT GRANTEES AND DETERMINE AWARDS

(a) Administration of Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator.

(b) Powers of Administrator. The Administrator shall have the power and authority to grant Awards consistent with the terms of the Plan, including the power and authority:

(i) to select the individuals to whom Awards may from time to time be granted;

(ii) to determine the time or times of grant, and the extent, if any, of Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, Unrestricted Stock Awards, and Dividend Equivalent Rights, or any combination of the foregoing, granted to any one or more grantees;

(iii) to determine the number of shares of Stock to be covered by any Award;

(iv) to determine and modify from time to time the terms and conditions, including restrictions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award, which terms and

conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees, and to approve the forms of Award Certificates;

(v) to accelerate at any time the exercisability or vesting of all or any portion of any Award;

(vi) subject to the provisions of Section 5(c), to extend at any time the period in which Stock Options may be exercised; and

(vii) at any time to adopt, alter and repeal such rules, guidelines and practices for administration of the Plan and for its own acts and proceedings as it shall deem advisable; to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award (including related written instruments); to make all determinations it deems advisable for the administration of the Plan; to decide all disputes arising in connection with the Plan; and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.

All decisions and interpretations of the Administrator shall be binding on all persons, including the Company and Plan grantees.

(c) Award Certificate. Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by Award Certificates that set forth the terms, conditions and limitations for each Award which may include, without limitation, the term of an Award and the provisions applicable in the event the employment (or other Service Relationship) of the grantee terminates.

(d) Indemnification. Neither the Board nor the Administrator, nor any member of either or any delegate thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with the Plan, and the members of the Board and the Administrator (and any delegate thereof) shall be entitled in all cases to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under the Company’s articles or bylaws or any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage which may be in effect from time to time and/or any indemnification agreement between such individual and the Company.

(e) Non-U.S. Award Recipients. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws in other countries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate or have employees or other individuals eligible for Awards, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to: (i) determine which Subsidiaries shall be covered by the Plan; (ii) determine which individuals outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan; (iii) modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to individuals outside the United States to comply with applicable laws; (iv) establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent the Administrator determines such actions to be necessary or advisable (and such subplans and/or modifications shall be incorporated into and made part of this Plan); provided, however, that no such subplans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitation contained in Section 3(a) hereof; and (v) take any action, before or after an Award is made, that the Administrator determines to be necessary or advisable to obtain approval or comply with any local

governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that would violate the Exchange Act or any other applicable United States securities law, the Code, or any other applicable United States governing statute or law.

SECTION 3. STOCK ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN; MERGERS; SUBSTITUTION

(a) Stock Issuable. The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 2,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b). For purposes of this limitation, the shares of Stock underlying any Awards under the Plan that are forfeited, canceled, held back upon exercise of an Option or settlement of an Award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of Stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise or settlement) shall be added back to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. In the event the Company repurchases shares of Stock on the open market, such shares shall not be added to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitation, shares of Stock may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award. The shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock or shares of Stock reacquired by the Company.

(b) Changes in Stock. Subject to Section 3(c) hereof, if, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company’s capital stock, the outstanding shares of Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Stock or other securities, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for securities of the Company or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the Administrator shall make an appropriate or proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iii) the repurchase price, if any, per share subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award, and (iv) the exercise price for each share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by the number of shares subject to Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) as to which such Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights remain exercisable. The Administrator shall also make equitable or proportionate adjustments in the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration cash dividends paid other than in the ordinary course or any other extraordinary corporate event. The adjustment by the Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the Administrator in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares.

(c) Mergers and Other Transactions. In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event, the parties thereto may cause the assumption or continuation of Awards theretofore granted by the successor entity, or the substitution of such Awards with new Awards

of the successor entity or parent thereof, with appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and, if appropriate, the per share exercise prices, as such parties shall agree. To the extent the parties to such Sale Event do not provide for the assumption, continuation or substitution of Awards upon the effective time of the Sale Event, the Plan and all outstanding Awards granted hereunder shall terminate. In such case, except as may be otherwise provided in the relevant Award Certificate, all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights with time-based vesting conditions or restrictions that are not vested and/or exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of the Sale Event shall become fully vested and exercisable as of the effective time of the Sale Event, all other Awards with time-based vesting, conditions or restrictions shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the effective time of the Sale Event, and all Awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals may become vested and nonforfeitable in connection with a Sale Event in the Administrator’s discretion or to the extent specified in the relevant Award Certificate. In the event of such termination, (i) the Company shall have the option (in its sole discretion) to make or provide for a payment, in cash or in kind, to the grantees holding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the Sale Price multiplied by the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable after taking into account any acceleration thereunder at prices not in excess of the Sale Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (provided that, in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right with an exercise price equal to or less than the Sale Price, such Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be cancelled for no consideration); or (ii) each grantee shall be permitted, within a specified period of time prior to the consummation of the Sale Event as determined by the Administrator, to exercise all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable) held by such grantee. The Company shall also have the option (in its sole discretion) to make or provide for a payment, in cash or in kind, to the grantees holding other Awards in an amount equal to the Sale Price multiplied by the number of vested shares of Stock under such Awards.

SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY

Grantees under the Plan will be such full or part-time officers and other employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries to whom the Company may issue securities without stockholder approval in accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc., as selected from time to time by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

SECTION 5. STOCK OPTIONS

(a) Award of Stock Options. The Administrator may grant Stock Options under the Plan. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve. All Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be non-qualified stock options.

Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable. If the Administrator so determines,

Stock Options may be granted in lieu of cash compensation at the optionee’s election, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may establish.

(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share for the Stock covered by a Stock Option granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant but shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

(c) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date the Stock Option is granted.

(d) Exercisability; Rights of a Stockholder. Stock Options shall become exercisable at such time or times, whether or not in installments, as shall be determined by the Administrator at or after the grant date. The Administrator may at any time accelerate the exercisability of all or any portion of any Stock Option. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options.

(e) Method of Exercise. Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the following methods except to the extent otherwise provided in the Option Award Certificate:

(i) In cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator;

(ii) Through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership following such procedures as the Company may prescribe) of shares of Stock that are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date;

(iii) By the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price; provided that in the event the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; or

(iv) By a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price.

Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the shares of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in his or her stead in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full purchase price for such shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Option Award Certificate or applicable provisions of laws (including the

satisfaction of any taxes that the Company is obligated to withhold with respect to the optionee). In the event an optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock through the attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of attested shares. In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the exercise of Stock Options, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless exercise of Stock Options may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.

SECTION 6. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

(a) Award of Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may grant Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan. A Stock Appreciation Right is an Award entitling the recipient to receive shares of Stock (or cash, to the extent explicitly provided for in the applicable Award Agreement) having a value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the Stock Appreciation Right multiplied by the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised.

(b) Exercise Price of Stock Appreciation Rights. The exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant.

(c) Grant and Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted by the Administrator independently of any Stock Option granted pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan.

(d) Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined on the date of grant by the Administrator. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right may not exceed ten years. The terms and conditions of each such Award shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees.

SECTION 7. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

(a) Nature of Restricted Stock Awards. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Awards under the Plan. A Restricted Stock Award is any Award of Restricted Shares subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Administrator may determine at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other Service Relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The terms and conditions of each such Award Certificate shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees.

(b) Rights as a Stockholder. Upon the grant of the Restricted Stock Award and payment of any applicable purchase price, a grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the voting of the Restricted Shares and receipt of dividends; provided that if the lapse of restrictions with respect to the Restricted Stock Award is tied to the attainment of performance goals, any dividends paid by the Company during the performance period shall accrue and shall

not be paid to the grantee until and to the extent the performance goals are met with respect to the Restricted Stock Award. Unless the Administrator shall otherwise determine, (i) uncertificated Restricted Shares shall be accompanied by a notation on the records of the Company or the transfer agent to the effect that they are subject to forfeiture until such Restricted Shares are vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and (ii) certificated Restricted Shares shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Shares are vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and the grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company such instruments of transfer as the Administrator may prescribe.

(c) Restrictions. Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided herein or in the Restricted Stock Award Certificate. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 15 below, in writing after the Award is issued, if a grantee’s employment (or other Service Relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason, any Restricted Shares that have not vested at the time of termination shall automatically and without any requirement of notice to such grantee from or other action by or on behalf of, the Company be deemed to have been reacquired by the Company at its original purchase price (if any) from such grantee or such grantee’s legal representative simultaneously with such termination of employment (or other Service Relationship), and thereafter shall cease to represent any ownership of the Company by the grantee or rights of the grantee as a stockholder. Following such deemed reacquisition of Restricted Shares that are represented by physical certificates, a grantee shall surrender such certificates to the Company upon request without consideration.

(d) Vesting of Restricted Shares. The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the non-transferability of the Restricted Shares and the Company’s right of repurchase or forfeiture shall lapse. Subsequent to such date or dates and/or the attainment of such pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions, the shares on which all restrictions have lapsed shall no longer be Restricted Shares and shall be deemed “vested.”

SECTION 8. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

(a) Nature of Restricted Stock Units. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan. A Restricted Stock Unit is an Award of stock units that may be settled in shares of Stock (or cash, to the extent explicitly provided for in the Award Certificate) upon the satisfaction of such restrictions and conditions at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other Service Relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The terms and conditions of each such Award shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees. Except in the case of Restricted Stock Units with a deferred settlement date that complies with Section 409A, at the end of the vesting period, the Restricted Stock Units, to the extent vested, shall be settled in the form of shares of Stock. Restricted Stock Units with deferred settlement dates are subject to Section 409A and shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion in order to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

(b) Election to Receive Restricted Stock Units in Lieu of Compensation. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit a grantee to elect to receive a portion of future cash compensation otherwise due to such grantee in the form of an award of Restricted Stock Units. Any such election shall be made in writing and shall be delivered to the Company no later than the date specified by the Administrator and in accordance with Section 409A and such other rules and procedures established by the Administrator. Any such future cash compensation that the grantee elects to defer shall be converted to a fixed number of Restricted Stock Units based on the Fair Market Value of Stock on the date the compensation would otherwise have been paid to the grantee if such payment had not been deferred as provided herein. The Administrator shall have the sole right to determine whether and under what circumstances to permit such elections and to impose such limitations and other terms and conditions thereon as the Administrator deems appropriate. Any Restricted Stock Units that are elected to be received in lieu of cash compensation shall be fully vested, unless otherwise provided in the Award Certificate.

(c) Rights as a Stockholder. A grantee shall have the rights as a stockholder only as to shares of Stock acquired by the grantee upon settlement of Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that the grantee may be credited with Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the stock units underlying his or her Restricted Stock Units, subject to the provisions of Section 10 and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine.

(d) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 15 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee’s right in all Restricted Stock Units that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s termination of employment (or cessation of Service Relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason.

SECTION 9. UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

Grant or Sale of Unrestricted Stock. The Administrator may grant (or sell at par value or such higher purchase price determined by the Administrator) an Unrestricted Stock Award under the Plan. An Unrestricted Stock Award is an Award pursuant to which the grantee may receive shares of Stock free of any restrictions under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of cash compensation due to such grantee.

SECTION 10. DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS

(a) Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Administrator may grant Dividend Equivalent Rights under the Plan. A Dividend Equivalent Right is an Award entitling the grantee to receive credits based on cash dividends that would have been paid on the shares of Stock specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other Award to which it relates) if such shares had been issued to the grantee. A Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any grantee as a component of an award of Restricted Stock Units or as a freestanding award. The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the Award Certificate. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of Stock, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents. Any such reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value on the date of reinvestment or

such other price as may then apply under a dividend reinvestment plan sponsored by the Company, if any. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or shares of Stock or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of an Award of Restricted Stock Units shall provide that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled only upon settlement or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other Award, and that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other Award.

(b) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 15 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee’s rights in all Dividend Equivalent Rights shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s termination of employment (or cessation of Service Relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason.

SECTION 11. Transferability of Awards

(a) Transferability. Except as provided in Section 11(b) below, during a grantee’s lifetime, his or her Awards shall be exercisable only by the grantee, or by the grantee’s legal representative or guardian in the event of the grantee’s incapacity. No Awards shall be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by a grantee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order. No Awards shall be subject, in whole or in part, to attachment, execution, or levy of any kind, and any purported transfer in violation hereof shall be null and void.

(b) Administrator Action. Notwithstanding Section 11(a), the Administrator, in its discretion, may provide either in the Award Certificate regarding a given Award or by subsequent written approval that the grantee (who is an employee) may transfer his or her Stock Options to his or her immediate family members, to trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Award. In no event may an Award be transferred by a grantee for value.

(c) Family Member. For purposes of Section 11(b), “family member” shall mean a grantee’s child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the grantee’s household (other than a tenant of the grantee), a trust in which these persons (or the grantee) have more than fifty percent (50%) of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the grantee) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the grantee) own more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests.

(d) Designation of Beneficiary. To the extent permitted by the Administrator and valid under applicable law, each grantee to whom an Award has been made under the Plan may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any Award or receive any payment under any Award payable on or after the grantee’s death. Any such designation shall be on a form provided for that purpose by the Administrator and shall not be effective until received by the

Administrator. If no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased grantee, or if the designated beneficiaries have predeceased the grantee, the beneficiary shall be the grantee’s estate or legal heirs.

SECTION 12. TAX WITHHOLDING

(a) Payment by Grantee. Each grantee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amounts received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the grantee for tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any U.S. and non-U.S. federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld by the Company with respect to such income. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee or to satisfy any applicable withholdings by any other method of withholding that the Company deems appropriate. The Company’s obligation to deliver evidence of book entry (or stock certificates) to any grantee is subject to and conditioned on tax withholding obligations being satisfied by the grantee.

(b) Payment in Stock. The Administrator may cause any tax withholding obligation of the Company or any applicable Subsidiary to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by the Company withholding from shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to any Award a number of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due; provided, however, that the amount withheld does not exceed the maximum statutory rate or such lesser amount as is necessary to avoid liability accounting treatment. For purposes of share withholding, the Fair Market Value of withheld shares shall be determined in the same manner as the value of Stock includible in income of the Participants. The Administrator may also require any tax withholding obligation of the Company or any applicable Subsidiary to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by an arrangement whereby a certain number of shares of Stock issued pursuant to any Award are immediately sold and proceeds from such sale are remitted to the Company or any applicable Subsidiary in an amount that would satisfy the withholding amount due.

SECTION 13. Section 409A awards

Awards are intended to be exempt from Section 409A to the greatest extent possible and to otherwise comply with Section 409A. The Plan and all Awards shall be interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that any Award is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A (a “409A Award”), the Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Administrator from time to time in order to comply with Section 409A. In this regard, if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) to a grantee who is then considered a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the grantee’s separation from service, or (ii) the grantee’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. Further, the settlement of any 409A Award may not be accelerated except to the extent permitted by Section 409A.

SECTION 14. TERMINATION OF SERVICE RELATIONSHIP, TRANSFER, LEAVE OF ABSENCE, ETC.

(a) Termination of Service Relationship. If the grantee’s Service Relationship is with a Subsidiary and such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary, the grantee shall be deemed to have terminated employment for purposes of the Plan.

(b) For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a termination of Service Relationship:

(i) a transfer to the employment of the Company from a Subsidiary or from the Company to a Subsidiary, or from one Subsidiary to another; or

(ii) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employee’s right to re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Administrator otherwise so provides in writing.

SECTION 15. AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION

The Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan and the Administrator may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the holder’s consent. The Administrator is specifically authorized to exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or effect the repricing of such Awards through cancellation and re-grants. Nothing in this Section 15 shall limit the Administrator’s authority to take any action permitted pursuant to Section 3(b) or 3(c).

SECTION 16. STATUS OF PLAN

With respect to the portion of any Award that has not been settled or exercised and any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a grantee, a grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Administrator shall otherwise expressly determine in connection with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Administrator may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder, provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the foregoing sentence.

SECTION 17. GENERAL PROVISIONS

(a) No Distribution. The Administrator may require each person acquiring Stock pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof.

(b) Issuance of Stock. To the extent certificated, stock certificates to grantees under this Plan shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent

of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company. Uncertificated Stock shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a Stock transfer agent of the Company shall have given to the grantee by electronic mail (with proof of receipt) or by United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company, notice of issuance and recorded the issuance in its records (which may include electronic “book entry” records). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any evidence of book entry or certificates evidencing shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise or settlement of any Award, unless and until the Administrator has determined, with advice of counsel (to the extent the Administrator deems such advice necessary or advisable), that the issuance and delivery is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed, quoted or traded. Any Stock issued pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules and quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted or traded. The Administrator may place legends on any Stock certificate or notations on any book entry to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Administrator may require that an individual make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Administrator, in its discretion, deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Administrator shall have the right to require any individual to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Administrator.

(c) Stockholder Rights. Until Stock is deemed delivered in accordance with Section 18(b), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights of a stockholder will exist with respect to shares of Stock to be issued in connection with an Award, notwithstanding the exercise of a Stock Option or any other action by the grantee with respect to an Award.

(d) Other Incentive Arrangements; No Rights to Continued Service Relationship. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional incentive arrangements, including trusts, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of this Plan and the grant of Awards do not confer upon any grantee any right to continued employment or other Service Relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary.

(e) Trading Policy Restrictions. Option exercises and other Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s insider trading policies and procedures, as in effect from time to time.

(f) Clawback Policy. Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s clawback policy, as in effect from time to time.

SECTION 18. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN
