Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 22, 2023, Immunome, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it had reached agreement with Atreca, Inc. (“Atreca”) on the terms of a cash acquisition pursuant to which the Company would acquire certain antibody-related assets and materials for an upfront payment of $5.5 million and up to $7.0 million in clinical development milestones. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including the approval of Atreca’s stockholders.

In addition to historical facts, this Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The Company’s expectation that the purchase of assets from Atreca will close; and other statements regarding management’s intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations or forecasts for the future. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual results may differ materially from those projected. Such forward-looking statements are based on our expectations and involve risks and uncertainties; consequently, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the risk that the transaction with Atreca will not be completed, the Company’s ability to grow and successfully execute on its business plan, including advancing its current pipeline and any additionally acquired assets into the clinic and expanding its pipeline through its technology platforms, proprietary toolbox and the Atreca transction and other strategic transactions, if any; the ability of the Company to identify, conduct and complete IND-enabling studies; changes in the applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; the risk that regulatory approvals for the Company’s programs and product candidates are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect it or the expected benefits of the Atreca transaction; the Company’s ability to manage clinical trials or studies; the risk that pre-clinical data may not be predictive of clinical data; the complexity of numerous regulatory and legal requirements that the Company needs to comply with to operate its business; the reliance on the Company’s management; the prior experience and successes of the Company’s management team are not indicative of any future success; uncertainties related to the Company’s capital requirements and the Company’s expected cash runway; the failure to obtain, adequately protect, maintain or enforce the Company’s intellectual property rights; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 16, 2023, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 filed with the SEC on November 9, 2023, and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive and not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date made. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. Except as required by law, the Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in their expectations.
