The Company was incorporated in July 2016 (“inception”) as a Delaware corporation and its offices are in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to building its platform and advancing development of its portfolio of programs, establishing and protecting its intellectual property, conducting research and development activities, organizing and staffing the Company, business planning, raising capital and providing general and administrative support for these operations. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early clinical-stage companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, technical risks associated with the successful research, development and manufacturing of product candidates, risks related to clinical development of product candidates, developments by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations.

Collaboration Agreement [Abstract]

Collaboration Agreements

12. Collaboration Agreements

PMCo

In November 2021, the Company entered into a five-year collaboration agreement with PMCo, an affiliate of Flagship, under which PMCo was granted an exclusive license covering specified patent rights of the Company’s lipid nanoparticle technology to develop one or more therapeutic products to treat diseases related to the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene, like cystic fibrosis. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will perform certain research activities in accordance with the research plan, and PMCo will be solely responsible for, at its sole cost and expense, and will have sole discretion with respect to, developing, manufacturing, seeking regulatory approval for and commercializing licensed products. The research plan funding may be adjusted upon mutual written agreement from both parties. Additionally, in the event PMCo is acquired or sold, the Company is entitled to receive a portion of the proceeds of such transaction, subject to various reductions and other amounts payable in accordance with the agreement.

The Company assessed this arrangement in accordance with ASC 606 and concluded that the contract counterparty, PMCo, is a customer. The Company determined that the research activities and the exclusive license granted under the collaboration agreement is considered as a single performance obligation, and therefore, the

transaction price was allocated entirely to the single performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue related to the single performance obligation over time as the underlying services are performed and/or external costs are incurred.

The total transaction price at June 30, 2024 was determined to be $7.9 million based on the current estimated required efforts to fulfill the performance obligation. This total includes an increase of $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2023, and an increase of $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, all of which were agreed upon with PMCo, to the original transaction price as of the inception of the contract of $3.5 million. As of June 30, 2024, the remaining transaction price was estimated to be $1.2 million, which is expected to be recognized as revenue through 2024.

The Company recognized funded research and collaboration revenue of $0.6 million and $1.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.8 million and $1.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Costs incurred associated with this collaboration agreement were recorded as research and development expenses.

Pursuant to the agreement, the Company is entitled to receive a portion of the sales proceeds in the event PMCo is acquired or sold. At the end of each reporting period, the Company evaluates the probability of occurrence of such transaction. As of June 30, 2024, the Company determined that the proceeds from such transaction was not probable of recognition.

Novo Nordisk

On December 31, 2023, the Company entered into a Research Collaboration Agreement with Novo Nordisk A/S ("Novo Nordisk") and Pioneering Medicines 08, Inc., an affiliate of Flagship (and with respect to certain provisions set forth in the agreement, Pioneering Medicines (NN), LLC and PM (NN) Explorations, Inc.). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company granted to Novo Nordisk an exclusive, royalty-bearing, transferable license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers, for certain of its intellectual property to conduct research and development activities under an agreed-upon research and development plan relating to a product candidate, or program target, for the prevention, treatment or control of a cardiometabolic disease, including diabetes.

In January 2024, the Company received an upfront nonrefundable payment of $5.1 million from Novo Nordisk and expects to receive approximately $21.6 million in cost reimbursement through 2027 to fund the related research and development activities. The research plan funding may be adjusted upon mutual written agreement from all the parties. The Company is also eligible to receive development and commercial milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties on annual net sales of a licensed product. The term of the agreement expires at the end of the royalty term, which is the later of the 10th anniversary of the first commercial sale, the expiration of the last-to-expire payment claim, or expiration of regulatory exclusivity. Upon the expiration of the royalty term for a given licensed product in a given country in the territory, the licenses granted to Novo Nordisk pursuant to the agreement under the Omega licensed intellectual property survive and become perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up and royalty free with respect to such licensed product in such country.

The Company assessed this arrangement in accordance with ASC 606 and concluded that the contract counterparty, Novo Nordisk, is a customer. The Company determined that the research activities and the exclusive license granted under the collaboration agreement is considered as a single combined performance obligation as they are incapable of being distinct. The Company recognizes revenue related to the single performance obligation over time using the input method. Under the input method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation, which the Company believes best measures its progress towards satisfying the combined performance obligation. A cost-based input method of revenue recognition requires management to make estimates of costs to complete performance obligation. In making such estimates, judgment is required to evaluate assumptions related to cost estimates.

As of June 30, 2024, the total transaction price was determined to be $26.7 million based on the upfront nonrefundable payment and estimated required research and development efforts. As of June 30, 2024, the remaining transaction price was estimated to be $23.8 million, which is expected to be recognized as revenue through 2027.

The Company recognized funded research and collaboration revenue of $1.5 million and $2.9 million in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Additionally, the Company had $3.0 million of current deferred revenue and $3.3 million of noncurrent deferred revenue as of June 30, 2024 based on the period the services are expected to be performed and/or

related costs to be incurred. Costs incurred associated with this collaboration agreement were recorded as research and development expenses.

The Company will assess the probability of achieving the milestones and include them in the transaction price when they are deemed probable. Royalties will be recognized when the subsequent sales occur based on the sales or usage-based royalty exception.

ASC 606 Disclosures

To-date, the Company has only generated revenues from its collaboration agreements with PMCo and Novo Nordisk. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized total collaboration revenue of $2.1 million and $4.5 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized total collaboration revenue of $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company's contract assets and liabilities (in thousands):


	June 30,		December 31,

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled revenue (contract assets) and deferred revenue (contract liabilities) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue is included in Other current liabilities and Other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $0.6 million and less than $0.1 million of revenue, respectively, which were included in the deferred revenue balances as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of Omega Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Omega Therapeutics Security Corporation, which is a Massachusetts subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassification

The Company reclassified the related party expenses in the prior year to research and development and general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss to conform to the current year's presentation.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as audited financial statements, except certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been consolidated or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair representation of the results for the reported periods. These condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024 (the “2023 10-K”).

The results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, any other interim periods, or any future year or period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of and during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience when available and on various factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include, but are not limited to, the selection of useful lives of property and equipment, the incremental borrowing rate used in the calculation of lease liabilities, research and development accruals, and certain judgments regarding revenue recognition and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, “Summary of significant accounting policies,” to the Company’s audited financial statements included in the 2023 10-K. There was no significant change of accounting policy during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The new standard requires enhanced disclosures about segment information and significant segment expenses. It does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The new standard should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new standard requires public business entities to disclose information about income taxes paid, specific categories in the rate reconciliation, and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis. For public business entities, ASU 2023-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. For all other entities, the standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Equity Incentive Plans

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Equity Incentive Plans

14. Equity Incentive Plans

2017 Equity Incentive Plan

In June 2017, the Company’s board of directors adopted the 2017 Plan, which provided for the grant of qualified incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock or other awards to the Company’s employees and non-employees for the issuance or purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock. As of June 30, 2024, there were no shares available for future grants under the 2017 Plan and a total of 3,840,657 shares of the Company’s common stock were subject to outstanding stock options issued under the 2017 Plan.

The 2017 Plan is administered by the Company’s board of directors or a committee thereof to the extent the Company’s board of directors has delegated its power or authority under the 2017 Plan. The exercise prices, vesting and other restrictions are determined at the discretion of the board of directors, except that the exercise price per share of stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Stock options awarded under the 2017 Plan expire 10 years after the grant date unless the board of directors sets a shorter term. Incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options granted to employees and non-employees typically vest over four years. Certain stock options provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control, as defined in the 2017 Plan.

2021 Incentive Award Plan

The Company's board of directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2021 Plan in July 2021. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards, and subsequent to the IPO, all equity-based awards are granted under the 2021 Plan. The Company initially reserved 2,960,000 shares of its common stock for future issuance under the 2021 Plan, and such number of shares of common stock is subject to an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year, beginning on January 1, 2022 and ending on and including January 1, 2031, equal to the lesser of (i) 4% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year and (ii) such smaller number of shares of common stock as is determined by the board of directors. As of June 30, 2024, there were 2,883,702 shares available for future grants under the 2021 Plan, and a total of 6,833,212 shares of the Company’s common stock were subject to outstanding stock options issued under the 2021 Plan.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense as research and development and general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Research and development	$	281	$	1,112	$	1,826	$	2,265
General and administrative		932		1,066		2,818		2,135
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	1,213	$	2,178	$	4,644	$	4,400

Stock Options

A summary of option activity under the Company’s equity incentive plans during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was as follows:


				Weighted		Weighted average remaining		Aggregate intrinsic
	Number of options			average exercise price		contractual life (years)		value (1) (in thousands)
Outstanding as of January 1, 2024		8,780,737		$	5.69		7.52	$	5,033
Granted		3,844,475			3.29
Exercised		(10,003	)		2.29
Forfeited		(1,789,812	)		5.75
Expired		(151,528	)		10.24
Outstanding as of June 30, 2024		10,673,869			4.75		7.03		2,758
Vested and expected to vest as of June 30, 2024		10,673,869			4.75		7.03		2,758
Exercisable as of June 30, 2024		5,818,724		$	5.02		5.29	$	2,734

(1) The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the estimated fair value of the common stock for the options that were in the money as of June 30, 2024.

Included in the stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted the Chief Executive Officer an option to purchase 314,326 shares of the Company’s common stock. The option vests as to 25% of the underlying shares on February 7, 2025 and as to the remainder in twelve equal quarterly installments thereafter, such that the option will be fully vested and exercisable on February 7, 2028. In the event the Board determines that the consummation of a transaction for business development purposes satisfies the corporate goals for business development collaborations, any outstanding, unvested portion of the option will fully vest on the first anniversary of the consummation of such transaction. The potential acceleration of vesting due to the transaction is a performance condition and as of June 30, 2024, the performance condition has not been achieved. Therefore, the Company recognizes the stock-based compensation expense for the stock option over the explicit service period.

The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for all the stock options granted were as follows:


	Six months ended
	June 30, 2024
Expected volatility	75.00% - 77.05%
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate		3.86	%
Expected dividend yield	0.00%
Weighted-average expected term (in years)		5.43

The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.25. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.02 million.

As of June 30, 2024, there was $13.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.0 years.

2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company's board of directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2021 ESPP”) in July 2021. The purpose of the 2021 ESPP is to provide eligible employees with an opportunity to purchase shares of the Company's common stock through accumulated contributions. The 2021 ESPP permits participants to purchase shares of common stock through contributions (generally in the form of payroll deductions) of up to an amount of their eligible compensation determined by the administrator. Subject to certain other limitations or unless otherwise determined by the administrator, a participant may purchase a maximum of 100,000 shares of common stock during an offering period. The offering periods under the 2021 ESPP will begin on such date as determined by the administrator and not exceed 27 months. Amounts deducted and accumulated by the participant are used to purchase shares of common stock on each exercise date. The purchase price of the shares will be determined by the administrator but in no event will be less than 85% of the lower of the fair market value of common stock on the enrollment date or on the exercise date. Participants may end their participation at any time during an offering period and will be paid their accrued contributions that have not yet been used to purchase shares of common stock, provided that they give notice of such withdrawal within the time period required by the administrator. Participation ends automatically upon termination of employment with the Company.

The 2021 ESPP provides for an annual increase to the number of shares available for issuance thereunder on the first day of each calendar year beginning on January 1, 2022 and ending on and including January 1, 2031, by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year and (ii) such smaller number of shares of common stock as is determined by our board of directors, provided that no more than 6,450,000 shares of our common stock may be issued under the 2021 ESPP.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had not consummated an offering period under the 2021 ESPP. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had 1,990,108 shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2021 ESPP.

Under the terms of the Flagship License, the Company is obligated to pay low single digit percentage royalties on net sales of licensed products by the Company. Royalties shall be paid by the Company on a country-by-country basis until expiration or abandonment of the last valid patent claim covering such licensed product in such country. The Company is also obligated to reimburse Flagship for patent prosecution costs.

The royalty payment is contingent upon sales of licensed products under the Flagship License. As such, when such expense is considered probable and estimable at the commencement of sales, the Company will account for the royalty expense as cost of sales for the amount it is obligated.

Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research

In May 2019, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research (“WIBR”), an affiliate of one of the Company’s board members, under which the Company was granted an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing, sublicensable license under specified patent rights to research, make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, lease and import products and to perform and have performed licensed processes (the “WIBR Exclusive License”). Under the terms of the WIBR Exclusive License, the Company paid a nonrefundable upfront fee of less than $0.1 million upon the commencement of the exclusive license agreement. The Company is obligated to pay WIBR annual license maintenance fees of less than $0.1 million and low single digit percentage royalties on net sales of licensed products by the Company and its affiliates and sublicensees. Additionally, the Company is required to make milestone payments of up to $1.7 million in the aggregate for each of the first three licensed products (excluding backup products) upon the achievement of specified clinical and regulatory milestones. In addition, the Company is required to pay to WIBR a percentage of the non-royalty payments that it receives from sublicensees of the WIBR Exclusive License. This percentage ranges from zero to low double-digits and will be based upon the stage of development of the licensed product at the time such sublicense is executed.

In May 2019, the Company also entered into a co-exclusive license agreement with WIBR under which the Company was granted a co-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing, sublicensable license under specified patent rights to research, make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, lease and import products and to perform and have performed licensed processes (the “WIBR Co-Exclusive License”). Under the terms of the WIBR Co-Exclusive License, the Company paid a nonrefundable upfront fee of less than $0.1 million upon the commencement of the co-exclusive license agreement. The Company is obligated to pay WIBR annual license maintenance fees of less than $0.1 million and low single digit percentage royalties on net sales of licensed products by the Company and its affiliates and sublicensees as well as low single digit percentage royalties on licensed service income received by the Company and its affiliates. Additionally, the Company is required to make milestone payments of up to $1.9 million in the aggregate for each of the first three licensed products (excluding backup products) upon the achievement of specified clinical and regulatory milestones. In addition, the Company is required to pay to WIBR annual fees of less than $0.1 million for each sublicense agreement.

For each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized expenses of $0.1 million for the license maintenance fees and milestone payments. For each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized expenses of $0.2 million for the license maintenance fees and milestone payments. There was an immaterial amount of outstanding payments due to WIBR as of June 30, 2024 and none as of December 31, 2023.

Upon determination that a milestone payment is probable to occur, the amount due will be recorded as research and development expense. Lastly, the royalty payments and the sublicense non-royalty payments are contingent upon sales of licensed products or execution of a sublicense agreement under the WIBR Exclusive and Co-Exclusive Licenses. As such, when such expenses are considered probable and estimable at the commencement of sales or execution of a sublicense agreement, the Company will accrue royalty expense and sublicense non-royalty payments, as applicable, for the amount the Company is obligated.

Acuitas Therapeutics, Inc.

In October 2020, the Company entered into a development and option agreement (the “Development and Option Agreement”) with Acuitas Therapeutics, Inc. (“Acuitas”). Under the terms of the Development and Option Agreement, the parties agreed to jointly develop certain products combining the Company’s gene modulating therapeutics with Acuitas' lipid nanoparticles. Additionally, in accordance with the Development and Option Agreement, the Company has options to obtain non-exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable licenses under Acuitas’ patents and know-how related to lipid nanoparticle technology (“Acuitas LNP Technology”) with respect to two specified targets (e.g., EC constructs) (“Reserved Targets”) to develop and commercialize one or more therapeutic products relating to such targets. For each option and Reserved Target, the Company is obligated to pay an annual technology access fee and target reservation and maintenance fees collectively in the low-mid six figures until such Reserved Target is removed from the Reserved Target list or until the Company exercises an option with respect to such Reserved Target. In the event that the Company exercises the options, the Company will pay $1.5 million for the first non-exclusive license and $1.75 million for the second non-exclusive license. Under the terms of the Development and Option Agreement, the Company is also responsible for the full-time equivalent ("FTE") funding obligations, which is expected to be approximately $0.4 million per year, and reimbursements to Acuitas for certain development and material costs incurred by them.

In March 2021, the Company exercised the first option under the Development and Option Agreement and entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with Acuitas (the “Acuitas License Agreement”) under which the Company was granted a non-exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable license under the Acuitas LNP Technology to research, develop, manufacture, and commercially exploit products consisting of the Company’s gene modulating therapeutics and Acuitas’ lipid nanoparticles. In connection with the option exercise, the Company incurred an expense for the option exercise fee of $1.5 million. Under the Acuitas License Agreement, the Company is required to pay Acuitas an annual license maintenance fee in the high six figures until the Company achieves a certain development milestone. Acuitas is entitled to receive potential clinical and regulatory milestone payments of up to $18.0 million in the aggregate if the milestones are achieved. With respect to the sale of each licensed products, the Company is also obligated to pay Acuitas low single digit percentage royalties on net sales of the licensed products by the Company and its affiliates and sublicensees in a given country until the last to occur, in such country, of (i) the expiration or abandonment of all licensed patent rights covering the licensed product, (ii) expiration of any regulatory exclusivity for the licensed product, or (iii) ten years from the first commercial sale of the licensed product.

For each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded less than $0.1 million of research and development expenses consisting of technology access fees, target reservation and maintenance fees, the

costs of services performed by Acuitas, material costs and reimbursable costs.

The option exercise fee under the Development and Option Agreement was recorded as research and development expense upon the Company’s exercise of the first option. Additionally, the technology access fees, target reservation and maintenance fees, expenses associated with the FTE funding obligations and reimbursements for development and material costs incurred by Acuitas are recorded as research and development expense when incurred. The annual maintenance fee will be recorded as an expense on an annual basis based on the stated amount for the applicable year. Upon determination that a milestone payment is probable to occur, the amount due will be recorded as research and development expense. There were no milestones triggered, and no milestone expense was recorded related to the Acuitas agreements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Lastly, the royalty payment is contingent upon sales of licensed products under the Acuitas License Agreement. As such, when such expenses are considered probable and estimable at the commencement of sales, the Company will accrue royalty expense for the amount the Company is obligated.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are measured through quoted market prices; the fair value of the Company's marketable securities is determined based on the pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the Company’s debt approximates its fair value due to its variable interest rate, which approximates a market interest rate. The success fee obligation associated with the Loan Agreement, as amended, contains unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions in which there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date, thus the success fee obligation is measured at its fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs.

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is summarized in the table below (in thousands):


	June 30, 2024
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Financial Assets
Money market funds	$	15	$	—	$	—	$	15

Financial Liabilities
Success fee obligation	$	—	$	—	$	300	$	300


	December 31, 2023
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Financial Assets
Money market funds	$	10,402	$	—	$	—	$	10,402
Corporate Debt Securities		—		4,986		—		4,986
Total	$	10,402	$	4,986	$	—	$	15,388

Financial Liabilities
Success fee obligation	$	—	$	—	$	300	$	300

In accordance with the Fourth and Fifth Amendments of the Loan Agreement with BOC, the Company will be required to pay success fees totaling $0.3 million upon the achievement of certain liquidity events; accordingly, the related obligation is recorded as other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as it is deemed more probable than not by the Company to be settled in less than one year. The fair value of the success fee obligation was determined using the probability-weighted expected return method. The key estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value included the probability of achieving a specified liquidity event, the expected timing of achieving a liquidity event and the discount rate. The fair value of the success fee obligation is remeasured at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, until such liability was settled.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company determined it was 100% probable of achieving the specified liquidity events and therefore accrued the full amount of the success fee obligation. The following reflects the significant quantitative inputs used to determine the valuation of the success fee obligation as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:


	June 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
Discount rate		9.0	%		9.0	%
Expected timing of achieving liquidity events (years)		0.5			1.0
Probability of achieving liquidity events	100%			100%

The change in fair value of the Company's success fee obligation was immaterial in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

15. Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

For periods in which the Company reports a net loss attributable to common stockholders, potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effects would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same.

The following table summarizes the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders of the Company (in thousands except share and per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024			2023			2024			2023
Numerator:
Net loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(16,305	)	$	(29,687	)	$	(36,434	)	$	(54,966	)
Denominator:
Weighted average number of common stock, basic and diluted		55,150,507			55,071,469			55,152,746			52,861,655
Net loss per common stock attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted	$	(0.30	)	$	(0.54	)	$	(0.66	)	$	(1.04	)

The Company excluded the following potential common stock, presented based on amounts outstanding at period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

Income Taxes

16. Income Taxes

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on federal and state deferred tax assets since management does not forecast the Company to be in a taxable position in the near future.

The rules dealing with U.S. federal, state and local income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department. Changes to tax laws (which changes may have retroactive application) could adversely affect our stockholders or us. The Company assesses the impact of various tax reform proposals and modifications to existing tax treaties in all jurisdictions where it has operations to determine the potential effect on its business and any assumptions it has made about its future taxable income. The Company cannot predict whether any specific proposals will be enacted, the terms of any such proposals or what effect, if any, such proposals would have on its business if they were to be enacted.

Related Party Transactions

17. Related Party Transactions

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, related party transactions consisted primarily of rent payments and reimbursable expenses, offset by sublease income received from related parties.

The majority ownership of the Company is held by Flagship, in which it holds shares representing approximately 53% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock as of June 30, 2024. Flagship historically provided management services to the Company, and the Company reimburses Flagship for certain expenses, including insurance and benefits, and related fees, and software licenses incurred on the Company’s behalf. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred an immaterial amount and $0.2 million, respectively, primarily for reimbursable expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred an immaterial amount and $0.4 million, respectively, primarily for reimbursable expenses. These expenses are recorded as general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was an immaterial amount of outstanding payments due to Flagship.

In July 2023 the Company entered into three Shared Space Agreements with related parties Metaphore Biotechnologies, Inc., Apriori Bio, Inc., and Flagship Labs 89, Inc. These companies are affiliates of Flagship, a controlling stockholder of the Company. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company agreed to sublease an aggregate of

approximately 22,500 rentable square feet of office and laboratory space at 140 First Street. In June 2024, the Company entered into amendments to the Shared Space Arrangements with the Subtenants, which increased the total sublease to 30,447 rentable square feet effective July 1, 2024. Under the agreements, the Company has received rental income of $1.1 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Such rental income was reflected as a reduction of research and development expense and general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. There were no outstanding receivables due from the subtenants as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

In September 2020, the Company sublet the entire space of its 325 Vassar Street facility, approximately 19,404 square feet, to Sail Bio (formerly known as LARONDE, Inc. and VL50, Inc.), which is an affiliate of Flagship. The sublease term will expire at the end of the Company’s lease agreement with the landlord in September 2024. The rental rate for the sublease arrangement is equal to the Company’s rental obligation per the agreement with BMR-325 Vassar Street LLC, reduced by the sublease income received from Cygnal Therapeutics, Inc. (“Cygnal”). We expect to receive rental income and reimbursement of related facility expenses approximating $1.8 million through the expiration of the sublease in September 2024. The sublessee is obligated to pay all real estate taxes and costs related to the subleased premises, including cost of operations, maintenance, repair, replacement and property management. During each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company received rental income and reimbursement of related expenses of $0.6 million. During each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company received rental income and reimbursement of related expenses of $1.2 million, which was recorded within research and development expense and general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. There were no outstanding receivables due from Sail Bio as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

In July 2020, the Company entered into a Shared Space Arrangement (the Arrangement) with Sail Bio to share one-third of Sail Bio's 69,867 square feet of leased space at 20 Acorn Park Drive, Cambridge, Massachusetts. In January 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Arrangement with Sail Bio to exercise the option to renew the lease through July 2023. In connection with the amendment, the Company made an upfront payment of $2.9 million in January 2022, to cover the rent payments for the extended lease term. The Company did not subsequently renew the lease, and the lease expired at the end of July 2023. Additionally, upon the expiration of the extended lease term, the Company received $0.65 million from Sail Bio for all furniture, fixtures and equipment owned by the Company that will remain at the lease property. The net book value of these assets was determined to be $0.4 million, and the Company recognized a gain on this disposal of $0.2 million in June 2023.

Refer to other related party transactions as described in Note 9, Leases, Note 11, License Agreements and Note 12, Collaboration Agreements.

Term Loan

7. Term Loan

On March 9, 2018, the Company entered into the Loan Agreement with Banc of California (“BOC”, formerly known as Pacific Western Bank) to initially borrow $8.0 million, which was further amended on September 30, 2019 (the “First Amendment”), January 22, 2020 (the “Second Amendment”), December 30, 2020 (the “Third Amendment”), and December 20, 2021 (the “Fourth Amendment”).

On September 22, 2023, the Company entered into another amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”), in which BOC extended the maturity date of the loan to September 30, 2027, subject to further extension to September 30, 2028 upon receipt by the Company on or before December 31, 2024 of at least $50.0 million of cash proceeds from the sale of its equity securities and/or non-refundable upfront strategic partnership proceeds. Repayment of the loan began on September 30, 2023, with monthly principal payments of $0.3 million plus interest, along with a closing payment of $4.0 million on September 30, 2027 if the maturity date is not extended to September 30, 2028. Interest will continue to be determined at a floating annual rate equal to the greater of (i) 0.50% above the prime rate then in effect and (ii) 5.50%. The Company incurred $15 thousand of debt issuance costs, which was recorded as a direct reduction against the additional term loan and will be amortized over the life of the associated term loan as a component of interest expense using the effective interest method. The Company is required to pay a success fee of $0.1 million pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, in addition to the $0.2 million success fee obligation pursuant to the Fourth Amendment. The success fees are contingent on achieving specified liquidity events. The Company determined that the success fee obligation represented a freestanding financial instrument, and it was classified as a liability on the Company’s condensed

consolidated balance sheet and initially recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value for each reporting period recognized in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of such obligation is remeasured at the end of each reporting period until the liability is settled.

In addition, pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the Company agreed to maintain with BOC, at all times, a balance of at least $5.0 million of unrestricted cash, subject to termination upon the Company’s prepayment of outstanding loans in an aggregate amount of at least $5.0 million or if the principal balance of the loans is less than $10.0 million.

Borrowings under the Loan Agreement, as amended, are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s personal property, other than its intellectual property. There are no financial covenants associated with the Loan Agreement, as amended; however, the Company is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants to which the Company will remain subject until maturity.

Principal	$	17,000		$	19,000
Unamortized debt discount		(91	)		(115	)
Net carrying amount	$	16,909		$	18,885

The Company determined that the expected life of the debt was equal to the term on the term loan. The effective interest rate on the liability component ranged from 5.53% to 9.27% for the period from the date of issuance through June 30, 2024. The following table sets forth total interest expense recognized related to the term loan (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

9. Leases

The Company has the following operating leases for its corporate offices and lab space located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

325 Vassar Street

In 2017, the Company entered a noncancelable operating lease agreement to lease its office space at 325 Vassar Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, which will expire in September 2024. The Company is required to pay property taxes, insurance, and normal maintenance costs. The operating lease contains predetermined fixed escalations of minimum rentals during the lease term. In 2019 and 2020, the Company entered into sublease agreements with two related parties to sublease this office and laboratory space. Refer to Note 17, Related Party Transactions, for further details.

20 Acorn Park Drive

On July 13, 2020, the Company entered into a Shared Space Arrangement (the Arrangement) with Sail Biomedicines, Inc., (“Sail Bio”, also formerly known as Senda Biosciences, Inc. and Kintai Therapeutics, Inc. prior to its merger with LARONDE, Inc.) to share one-third of Sail Bio's 69,867 square feet of leased space at 20 Acorn Park Drive, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Sail Bio is a related party as it is an affiliate of Flagship Pioneering (“Flagship”). The

Arrangement commenced on August 1, 2020, with an expiration date of July 31, 2022 and two options to extend the term of the Arrangement for a period of 24 months each. The operating lease contains predetermined fixed escalations of minimum rentals during the lease term, and the Company is required to pay property taxes, insurance, and normal maintenance costs. In January 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Arrangement with Sail Bio to exercise the option to renew the lease through July 2023. The Company also modified certain provisions related to the extension term. The Company did not subsequently renew the lease, and the lease expired at the end of July 2023. Refer to Note 17, Related Party Transactions, for further details.

140 First Street (formerly known as One Charles Park)

On November 4, 2021, the Company entered into a lease with ARE-MA Region No. 94, LLC to lease an aggregate of approximately 89,246 rentable square feet of office and laboratory space located at 140 First Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02142. The lease includes two phases. Phase 1 includes approximately 78,380 rentable square feet for the fifth floor. Phase 2 includes 10,866 rentable square feet in a separate suite on the first floor. In accordance with the lease agreement, the Company paid $0.8 million upon the execution of the lease, which has offset the first month's rent. Phase 1 of the lease commenced in May 2023, and Phase 2 commenced in August 2023.

On May 3, 2023, the Company entered into a first amendment to the lease to, among other things, delay the delivery date of part of the premises, increase the initial base rent by $1.00 per rentable square foot per year, and change the address. The operating lease commenced on May 1, 2023 for the fifth floor premises and August 1, 2023 for the first floor premises for accounting purposes. The lease term for each of the floor premises is fifteen years from the respective commencement date, subject to certain extension rights. The base rent for the leased space is $116.00 per square foot, subject to an annual upward adjustment of 3% of the then current rental rate, starting on the first anniversary of the first full payment of rent under the lease. The operating lease includes a tenant improvement allowance of $300 per rentable square foot that is incorporated into the base rent payments, as well as an additional improvement allowance that is required to be repaid to the landlord as additional monthly rent over the lease term at an interest rate of 8%. On June 24, 2024, the Company entered into a second amendment to the lease to no longer require landlord consent to enter into Shared Space Arrangements.

On July 11, 2023, the Company entered into a Shared Space Arrangement with Apriori Bio, Inc. (“Apriori”), and on July 12, 2023, the Company entered into two Shared Space Arrangements with Metaphore Biotechnologies, Inc. (“Metaphore”) and Flagship Labs 89, Inc., now known as Prologue Medicines, Inc., ("Prologue" and, together with Metaphore and Apriori, the “Subtenants”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sublease an aggregate of approximately 22,500 rentable square feet of office and laboratory space located at 140 First Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02141 (the “Premises”). Metaphore, Apriori and FL Labs are affiliates of Flagship Pioneering, a significant stockholder of the Company. The term of the Sublease with Metaphore and Prologue has commenced in August, 2023 and will end in August, 2025, and the term of the Sublease with Apriori began in September, 2023 and will end in September, 2025. The Subleases provide that the Subtenants will pay to the Company a monthly fee that is a proportionate share of the actual base rent, operating expenses and other costs for the use and occupancy of the subleased portion of the Premises charged by the Landlord under the Lease and paid by the Company. Such proportionate share of the fifth floor is 12.0%, 8.4% and 8.4% for Metaphore, Apriori and Prologue, respectively. In June 2024, the Company entered into amendments to the Shared Space Arrangements with the Subtenants, which increased the proportionate share of the fifth floor to 16.2%, 11.3% and 11.3% for Metaphore, Apriori and Prologue, respectively, effective July 1, 2024. The total commitment for the Subtenants' share of the base rent over the term of the Subleases is $6.2 million. The Company may terminate each Sublease and require the applicable Subtenant to immediately vacate the Premises if such Subtenant causes a default under the Lease, is in default of any provision in the applicable Sublease or acts in a manner deemed by the Company, in its sole discretion, as dangerous or threatening. The Subleases contain customary covenants, obligations and indemnities in favor of either party. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received rental income of $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, which was recorded as a reduction of research and development expense and general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

As of June 30, 2024, operating lease right-of-use assets, net were $107.2 million, which were recorded separately on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The corresponding operating lease liabilities were $110.0 million as of June 30, 2024, of which $11.8 million were recorded in current liabilities and $98.2 million were recorded in long-term liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and the related lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Both the right-of-use assets and the corresponding liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based upon the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the

Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate based on the interest rate from the amended Term Loan, which was fully collateralized, as well as a term matched secured market rate.

The following table summarizes the components of lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands).

Thermo Furniture Sale-Leaseback

In December 2023, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement with Thermo Fisher Financial Services, Inc. to provide $2.6 million in cash proceeds for previously acquired furniture and equipment. The term of the leaseback is 5 years, with an option to purchase the assets for $1 at the end of the term. The Company concluded the leaseback would be classified as a financing lease. Therefore, the transaction was deemed a failed sale-leaseback and was accounted for as a financing arrangement. The Company will make monthly payments of $53 thousand over the term of the lease. As of June 30, 2024, $0.5 million of the financing obligation is included in current liabilities and $1.9 million is included in long-term liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The assets continue to be depreciated over their useful lives, and payments are allocated between interest expense and repayment of the financing liability.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Jun. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of Omega Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Omega Therapeutics Security Corporation, which is a Massachusetts subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassification	Reclassification The Company reclassified the related party expenses in the prior year to research and development and general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss to conform to the current year's presentation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of and during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience when available and on various factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include, but are not limited to, the selection of useful lives of property and equipment, the incremental borrowing rate used in the calculation of lease liabilities, research and development accruals, and certain judgments regarding revenue recognition and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known.
Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted	Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The new standard requires enhanced disclosures about segment information and significant segment expenses. It does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The new standard should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new standard requires public business entities to disclose information about income taxes paid, specific categories in the rate reconciliation, and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis. For public business entities, ASU 2023-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. For all other entities, the standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
