(“the Company”) disclosed that it had a preliminary unaudited amount of net product revenue of $29.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, including $23.4 million in U.S. QINLOCK® (ripretinib) net product revenue, $5.4 million in international QINLOCK net product revenue, and $0.4 million of collaboration revenue. The Company also disclosed that it had a preliminary unaudited amount of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $275.4 million as of March 31, 2022, which is expected to fund the operating and capital expenditure plans into 2024. These amounts are preliminary and are subject to completion of financial closing procedures. As a result, these amounts may differ materially from the amounts that will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The preliminary financial data included in this Current Report on Form 8-K has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, management. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the preliminary financial data. Accordingly, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.

The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01 Other Information.

On April 26, 2022, the Company delivered written notice to Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) that it was suspending and terminating the prospectus related to the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “ATM Prospectus”) issuable pursuant to the terms of the Open Market Sale Agreement^SM, dated August 4, 2020 (the “Open Market Sales Agreement”), by and between the Company and Jefferies. The Company will not make any sales of its securities pursuant to the Open Market Sales Agreement, unless and until a new prospectus, prospectus supplement or a new registration statement is filed. Other than the termination of the ATM Prospectus, the Open Market Sales Agreement remains in full force and effect.

A copy of the Open Market Sales Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 4, 2020.
