("Inhibrx" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: INBX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel biologic therapeutic candidates, today announced it entered into the Second Amendment (the "Second Amendment") to the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended (the "Amended LSA") with Oxford Finance LLC ("Oxford," together with certain of its affiliates party thereto, the "Lenders"), pursuant to which the Lenders expanded the facility to an aggregate principal amount of up to $500.0 million (the "Credit Facility").

The Second Amendment provides for an additional tranche, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $325.0 million in gross proceeds, (i) $100.0 million of which was funded upon execution of the Second Amendment (the "Term C Loan") and (ii) up to an additional $225.0 million of which may be funded in increments of $50.0 million or more upon the Company's request and at the Lenders' sole discretion (the "Term D Loan").

The Term C Warrants are immediately exercisable, and the exercise period will expire 10 years from the date of issuance.

"We are very excited about the trajectory of ozekibart (INBRX-109) and INBRX-106 and this capital infusion allows us to maintain full momentum on the advancement of both programs as we await key upcoming data readouts."
