(“Allarity” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ALLR), a Phase 2 clinical-stage pharmaceutical company dedicated to developing personalized cancer treatments, today reported financial results and provided an update on recent operational highlights for the first quarter that ended March 31, 2024. "The start of 2024 has been a pivotal period for Allarity Therapeutics, marked by significant achievements across financial, regulatory, and clinical areas," remarked Thomas Jensen, CEO of Allarity Therapeutics. "Our trials of stenoparib in advanced, recurrent ovarian cancer have yielded encouraging proof of concept data, which further boosted our optimism for the future of this novel PARP inhibitor. Additionally, we've seen several developments that we believe may strengthen our investment case. Our capital structure has been simplified, and we have raised new equity, so we are now on track to fully comply with Nasdaq's listing requirements and find ourselves in a better position to steer clear of less favorable future financing arrangements. Reflecting this new strengthened financial position, we have requested the SEC to withdraw our Form S-1 filed last October. With a strategic focus now solely on stenoparib, we can use all our managerial resources to advance this promising asset toward regulatory approval." First Quarter 2024 and Recent Operational Highlights Allarity Therapeutics now has a single class of shares after investor-initiated conversions of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and the majority of warrants into common stock. Significantly, all variable-priced warrants have been exercised, reducing market overhang from warrants. A limited number of fixed-price warrants remain unexercised, each with an exercise price of $20. Additionally, the Company has fully repaid all bridge notes. These developments simplify Allarity's capital structure, enhancing the attractiveness of its stock. As of today, the total number of shares is 17,606,739.Allarity has requested the SEC to withdraw its Form S-1 registration, reflecting its improved financial outlook.Stockholders' equity at Allarity significantly exceeds the $2.5 million minimum required by Nasdaq under Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) due to the fact that the Company has a cash balance of $14 million, reduced its debts and increased its equity to $15 million utilizing an "At-The-Market” (ATM) offering under a Form S-3. This method was the most rapid and cost-effective way to raise capital before the May 14, 2024, deadline set by Nasdaq. Formal confirmation by Nasdaq of regaining compliance with Rule 5550(b)(1) is being sought.The Company has concluded its Phase 2 clinical trial of stenoparib early due to clear clinical benefits observed, including tumor shrinkage and long-term disease stability, in heavily pre-treated ovarian cancer patients. Using Allarity’s DRP® companion diagnostic to pre-screen patients, the trial targeted those most likely to benefit. The promising results have provided sufficient proof of concept, prompting Allarity to halt enrollment with the purpose of preparing a follow-on trial with FDA regulatory intent. The company plans to outline further details in a clinical update.Allarity has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which mandates a minimum bid price of $1.00, after executing a reverse stock split on April 9, 2024. Following the split, the company's stock maintained a closing bid price above $1.00 for more than ten consecutive trading days, leading to a confirmation from Nasdaq of compliance.Driven by promising Phase 2 trial data, Allarity has strategically shifted its focus solely to accelerating the development of stenoparib for targeting advanced, recurrent ovarian cancer. This shift has allowed significant reductions in ongoing costs and better alignment with new strategic priorities while deprioritizing other projects like the development of IXEMPRA® and dovitinib.Allarity received an extension until April 24, 2024, from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to meet listing requirements, including maintaining a minimum $1.00 share price and increasing stockholders' equity to $2.5 million. The extension was granted following the Company's presentation of a comprehensive plan to regain compliance.CEO Thomas Jensen presented Allarity Therapeutics’ development of the DRP® platform for personalized cancer therapy at the Biomarkers 2024 conference, focusing on its use in a phase 2 study of stenoparib for ovarian cancer. The presentation took place on February 29, 2024, in London, UK. First Quarter 2024 Operating Results R&D Expenses: Research and Development (R&D) expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, were $2.2 million, compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

G&A Expenses: General and Administrative (G&A) expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, were $2.1 million, compared to $2.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Net Loss: Net loss was $3.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $3.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. About the Drug Response Predictor – DRP® Companion DiagnosticAllarity uses its drug-specific DRP® to select those patients who, by the gene expression signature of their cancer, are found to have a high likelihood of benefiting from a specific drug. By screening patients before treatment, and only treating those patients with a sufficiently high, drug-specific DRP score, the therapeutic benefit rate may be significantly increased. The DRP method builds on the comparison of sensitive vs. resistant human cancer cell lines, including transcriptomic information from cell lines combined with clinical tumor biology filters and prior clinical trial outcomes. DRP is based on messenger RNA expression profiles from patient biopsies. The DRP® platform has proven its ability to provide a statistically significant prediction of the clinical outcome from drug treatment in cancer patients dozens of clinical studies (both retrospective and prospective). The DRP platform, which can be used in all cancer types and is patented for more than 70 anti-cancer drugs, has been extensively published in the peer-reviewed literature.

R&D costs were approximately $743 thousand higher in 2024 than in 2023, primarily because of increased manufacturing costs of $524 thousand and because of an extension fee payment of $150 thousand we paid to Eisai Co., Ltd. for our license agreement on stenoparib.

About the Drug Response Predictor – DRP® Companion DiagnosticAllarity uses its drug-specific DRP® to select those patients who, by the gene expression signature of their cancer, are found to have a high likelihood of benefiting from a specific drug. By screening patients before treatment, and only treating those patients with a sufficiently high, drug-specific DRP score, the therapeutic benefit rate may be significantly increased. The DRP method builds on the comparison of sensitive vs. resistant human cancer cell lines, including transcriptomic information from cell lines combined with clinical tumor biology filters and prior clinical trial outcomes. DRP is based on messenger RNA expression profiles from patient biopsies. The DRP® platform has proven its ability to provide a statistically significant prediction of the clinical outcome from drug treatment in cancer patients dozens of clinical studies (both retrospective and prospective). The DRP platform, which can be used in all cancer types and is patented for more than 70 anti-cancer drugs, has been extensively published in the peer-reviewed literature.
