New Risk • Jan 28
New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: US$98.7m This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (23% average weekly change). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$3.7m net loss in 3 years). Revenue is less than US$5m (US$2.9m revenue).

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of American stocks, typically moving 16% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (16% average weekly change). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$211m net loss in 3 years).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 46% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 46% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (10% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (37% increase in shares outstanding).

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 37% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$260m net loss in 3 years). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (37% increase in shares outstanding).

IGM Biosciences, Inc. Announces FDA Clearance to Begin Clinical Studies of Imvotamab in Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis IGM Biosciences, Inc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared two Investigational New Drug (IND) applications for imvotamab, an IgM-based CD20 X CD3 bispecific antibody T cell engager, enabling the initiation of Phase 1b studies in both severe systemic lupuserythematosus (SLE) and severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The Company plans to begin patient enrollment in both multicenter clinical studies in the third quarter of 2023. The data from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma clinical studies indicate that imvotamab can deplete CD20 expressing B cells, even rapidly growing lymphomacells, with a favorable safety profile as compared with other T cell engaging CD20 x CD3 antibodies. Emerging data with cell-based therapies suggest that deep B cell depletion may have the potential to reset the immune system in patients with certain autoimmune diseases. Imvotamab has also demonstrated in preclinical in vitro studies that it can be more effective in depleting B cells with low levels of CD20 expression as compared to rituximab.

IGM Biosciences Announces Update on Igm-8444 Phase 1 Trial and Future Clinical Development IGM Biosciences, Inc. announced an update on its clinical development program for IGM-8444, a novel multivalent DR5 agonist, and announced plans for a new randomized combination trial in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Initial Phase 1 data reported from a cohort of patients with combination treatment of IGM-8444 and FOLFIRI showed an encouraging safety profile which was broadly comparable to that expected from chemotherapy alone in this setting. Specifically, there was no drug related clinically significant hepatotoxicity, with only grade 1 and grade 2 transient liver enzyme elevations observed. In patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, the combination of IGM-8444 and FOLFIRI showed promising activity, with multiple confirmed responses observed even in patients who had previously progressed on FOLFIRI. In 13 metastatic patients treated with doses of IGM-8444 from 1 to 10 mg/kg plus standard doses of FOLFIRI chemotherapy, there were four responses observed (three confirmed at 3mg/kg), and one additional patient had substantial tumor shrinkage allowing for subsequent complete surgical resection. Responses occurred in patients with KRAS wild type and mutated tumors and in patients with or without liver metastases. The majority of patients were on their third line of treatment or beyond and 10 of the 13 patients had previously been treated with FOLFIRI chemotherapy. Median progression free survival (PFS) among nine 3L+ patients was 5.5 months, with the longest observed PFS extending beyond 12 months. Recent Insider Transactions • Dec 22
