Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including the risks described below. See the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to our Business

Gemini has incurred significant losses since its inception and expects to incur losses for the foreseeable future.

Gemini has no products approved for commercial sale and has not generated any revenue to date, and Gemini continues to incur significant research and development and other expenses related to its ongoing operations. As a result, Gemini is not profitable and has incurred significant losses in each period since its inception in March 2015. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Gemini reported net losses of $40.8 million and $41.4 million. As of December 31, 2020, Gemini had an accumulated deficit of $112.8 million. Gemini expects to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future, and Gemini expects these losses to increase as Gemini continues its research and development of, and seeks regulatory approvals for, its product candidates. Gemini anticipates that its expenses will increase substantially if, and as, Gemini:

Even if Gemini succeeds in commercializing GEM103 or any other product candidates, Gemini may continue to incur substantial research and development and other expenditures to develop and market additional product

10

candidates. Gemini may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect its business for any reason, including as a result of the Coronavirus Disease 19, or COVID-19 pandemic. The size of its future net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of future growth of its expenses and its ability to generate revenue. Its prior losses and expected future losses have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on its stockholders’ equity and working capital.

Gemini currently has a limited operating history, has not generated any revenue to date, and may never become profitable.

Gemini is a clinical-stage biotechnology company with a limited operating history. Its operations to date have been limited to organizing and staffing its company, acquiring, developing and securing its technology and product candidates, and conducting clinical trials and preclinical studies of its product candidates. Gemini has not yet demonstrated its ability to complete clinical trials, obtain regulatory approval, formulate and manufacture a commercial-scale product, or conduct sales and marketing activities necessary for successful product commercialization. Investment in biotechnology product development is highly speculative because it entails substantial upfront expenditures in contract research organizations, or CROs, and contract manufacturing organizations, or CMOs, and significant risk that any potential product candidate will fail to demonstrate adequate effect or an acceptable safety profile, gain regulatory approval and become commercially viable. Consequently, any predictions you may make about its future success or viability may not be as accurate as they could be if Gemini had a longer operating history.

Though GEM103 is in Phase 2a clinical development, Gemini does not expect to receive revenue from GEM103 for a number of years, if ever. To date, Gemini has not generated any revenue and Gemini will not be able to generate product revenue unless and until GEM103, or any other product candidate, successfully completes clinical trials, receives regulatory approval, and is commercialized. Gemini may seek to obtain revenue from collaboration or licensing agreements with third parties. Its ability to generate future product revenue from GEM103 or any other product candidates also depends on a number of additional factors, including its, or its current and future collaborators’, ability to:

In addition, because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with biotechnology product development, including that its product candidates may not advance through development or achieve the endpoints of

11

applicable clinical trials, Gemini is unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses, or if or when Gemini will achieve or maintain profitability. In addition, its expenses could increase beyond expectations if Gemini decides, or are required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, or applicable foreign regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions where Gemini may pursue regulatory approval, or applicable foreign regulatory authorities, to perform nonclinical studies or clinical trials in addition to those that Gemini currently anticipates. Even if Gemini completes the development and regulatory processes described above, Gemini anticipates incurring significant costs associated with launching and commercializing any approved product.

If Gemini does achieve profitability, Gemini may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Its failure to become and remain profitable would decrease the value of its company and could impair its ability to raise capital, maintain its research and development efforts, expand its business or continue its operations. A decline in the value of its company also could cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

Gemini will require additional capital to finance its operations, which may not be available to it on acceptable terms, or at all. As a result, Gemini may not complete the development and commercialization of GEM103 or any other product candidates.

As a research and development company, Gemini’s operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since inception. Gemini expects its research and development expenses to increase substantially in connection with its ongoing activities, particularly as Gemini advances GEM103 into later-stage clinical development.

As of December 31, 2020, Gemini had $4.5 million of cash and cash equivalents. Gemini believes that the net proceeds from the Business Combination and the PIPE transaction, together with its existing cash and cash equivalents, will fund its projected operating requirements into 2023. Its forecast of the period of time through which its financial reserves will adequately support its operations is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary as a result of a number of factors, including the factors discussed elsewhere in this “Risk factors” section. Gemini has based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and Gemini could utilize its available capital resources sooner than Gemini currently expects. Its future funding requirements, both short and long-term, will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

12

Gemini does not have any committed external source of funds or other support for its development efforts and Gemini cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Until Gemini can generate sufficient revenue to finance its cash requirements, which Gemini may never do, Gemini expects to finance its future cash needs through a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements, and other marketing or distribution arrangements. If Gemini raises additional funds through public or private equity offerings, the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect its stockholders’ rights. Further, to the extent that Gemini raises additional capital through the sale of common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, your ownership interest will be diluted. If Gemini raises additional capital through debt financing, Gemini could be subject to fixed payment obligations and may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting its ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If Gemini raises additional capital through marketing and distribution arrangements or other collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, Gemini may have to relinquish certain valuable rights to its product candidates, technologies, future revenue streams or research programs or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. Gemini also could be required to seek collaborators for one or more of its product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable or relinquish its rights to product candidates or technologies that Gemini otherwise would seek to develop or commercialize itself. If Gemini is unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or acceptable terms, Gemini may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of one or more of its product candidates or one or more of its other research and development initiatives. Any of the above events could significantly harm its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations and cause the price of its common stock to decline.

Gemini is heavily dependent on the success of GEM103, its lead product candidate.

Gemini currently has no products that are approved for commercial sale and may never be able to develop marketable products. Gemini expects that a substantial portion of its efforts and expenditures over the next several years will be devoted to its lead product candidate, GEM103. Accordingly, its business currently depends heavily on the successful development, regulatory approval, and commercialization of GEM103. GEM103 is currently being tested in a Phase 2a clinical trial in genetically defined patients with dry age-related macular degeneration, or AMD and in a Phase 2a clinical trial as an add-on to anti-VEGF therapy for the treatment of wet AMD patients at risk for progressive vision loss due to macular atrophy. Gemini cannot be certain that GEM103 will successfully complete clinical trials, receive regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized even if Gemini receives regulatory approval. If Gemini is required to discontinue development of GEM103 or if GEM103 does not receive regulatory approval or fails to achieve significant market acceptance, Gemini would be substantially delayed in its ability to achieve profitability, if ever.

The research, testing, manufacturing, safety, efficacy, labeling, approval, sale, marketing, and distribution of GEM103 is, and will remain, subject to comprehensive regulation by the FDA and applicable foreign regulatory authorities. Failure to obtain regulatory approval for GEM103 will prevent Gemini from commercializing and marketing GEM103.

Further, its Phase 2a clinical trials of GEM103 and other future clinical trials may not be able to replicate the results from its preclinical studies or past clinical trials of GEM103. To the extent any of foregoing has not occurred, its expected development time and development costs for GEM103 may be increased.

Even if Gemini is able to successfully obtain approval from the FDA or applicable foreign regulatory authorities for GEM103, any approval might contain significant limitations related to use, including limitations on the stage of disease GEM103 is approved to treat, as well as restrictions for specified age groups, warnings, precautions or

13

contraindications. Furthermore, even if Gemini obtains regulatory approval for GEM103, Gemini will still need to develop a commercial infrastructure or develop relationships with collaborators to commercialize, establish a commercially viable pricing structure and obtain coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors, including government healthcare programs otherwise. If Gemini, or any future collaborators, are unable to successfully commercialize GEM103, Gemini may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to continue its business.

If Gemini is not successful in discovering, developing, receiving regulatory approval for and commercializing GEM103 or other product candidates, its ability to expand its business and achieve its strategic objectives would be impaired.

Although Gemini plans to devote a majority of its resources to the continued preclinical and clinical testing and potential approval of GEM103 for the treatment of patients with AMD, another key element of its strategy is to discover, develop and commercialize a portfolio of products. Gemini is seeking to do so through its internal discovery programs, but its resources are limited, and those that Gemini have are geared towards preclinical and clinical testing and seeking regulatory approval of GEM103 for the treatment of patients with AMD. Gemini may also explore strategic collaborations for the development or acquisition of new product candidates, but Gemini may not be successful in entering into such relationships. GEM103 is its only product candidate in clinical stages of development. Research programs to identify product candidates require substantial technical, financial and human resources, regardless of whether any product candidates are ultimately identified. Its research programs may initially show promise in identifying potential product candidates, yet fail to yield product candidates for clinical development for many reasons, including:

If Gemini fails to develop and successfully commercialize other product candidates, its business and future prospects may be harmed and its business will be more vulnerable to any problems that Gemini encounters in developing and commercializing its product candidates.

GEM103 and any other product candidates must undergo rigorous clinical trials and regulatory approvals, and success in nonclinical studies or earlier-stage clinical trials may not be indicative of results in future clinical trials.

GEM103 and any other product candidates will be subject to rigorous and extensive clinical trials and extensive regulatory approval processes implemented by the FDA and applicable foreign regulatory authorities. The approval process is typically lengthy and expensive, and approval is never certain. Gemini has limited experience in conducting the clinical trials required to obtain regulatory approval. Gemini may not be able to conduct

14

clinical trials at preferred sites, enlist clinical investigators, enroll sufficient numbers of participants or begin or successfully complete clinical trials in a timely fashion, if at all. Its planned clinical trials may be insufficient to demonstrate that its potential products will be active, safe or effective. Additional clinical trials may be required if clinical trial results are negative or inconclusive, which will require us to incur additional costs and significant delays.

Success in preclinical studies and earlier-stage clinical trials does not ensure that later clinical trials will generate the same results or otherwise provide adequate data to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of a product candidate. In addition, the design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product, and flaws in the design of a clinical trial may not become apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced. Because Gemini has limited experience designing clinical trials, Gemini may be unable to design and execute a clinical trial to support regulatory approval. In addition, there is a high failure rate for drugs and biologics proceeding through clinical trials. In fact, many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in late-stage clinical trials even after achieving promising results in nonclinical studies and earlier-stage clinical trials. Similarly, the outcome of nonclinical studies may not predict the success of clinical trials. Moreover, data obtained from nonclinical and clinical activities are subject to varying interpretations, which may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. In addition, Gemini may experience regulatory delays or rejections as a result of many factors, including due to changes in regulatory policy during the period of development of its product candidates. Any such delays could negatively impact its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

From time to time, Gemini may publish interim “top-line” or preliminary data from its clinical trials. Preliminary or interim data from clinical trials that Gemini may complete are subject to the risk that one or more of the clinical outcomes may materially change as patient enrollment continues and more patient data become available. Preliminary or interim data also remain subject to audit and verification procedures that may result in the final data being materially different from the preliminary data Gemini previously published. As a result, interim and preliminary data should be viewed with caution until the final data are available. Adverse differences between preliminary or interim data and final data could significantly harm its business and financial prospects.

Additionally, several of its planned and ongoing clinical trials utilize an “open-label” trial design. An “open-label” clinical trial is one where both the patient and investigator know whether the patient is receiving the investigational product candidate or either an existing approved biologic, drug, or placebo. Most typically, open-label clinical trials test only the investigational product candidate and sometimes may do so at different dose levels. Open-label clinical trials are subject to various limitations that may exaggerate any therapeutic effect as patients in open-label clinical trials are aware when they are receiving treatment. Open-label clinical trials may be subject to a “patient bias” where patients perceive their symptoms to have improved merely due to their awareness of receiving an experimental treatment. In addition, open-label clinical trials may be subject to an “investigator bias” where those assessing and reviewing the physiological outcomes of the clinical trials are aware of which patients have received treatment and may interpret the information of the treated group more favorably given this knowledge. The results from an open-label trial may not be predictive of future clinical trial results with any of its product candidates for which Gemini includes an open-label clinical trial when studied in a controlled environment with a placebo or active control.

Gemini is subject to many manufacturing risks, any of which could substantially increase its costs, delay clinical programs and limit supply of its products.

Gemini has contracted with a third party manufacturer to make new drug substance to support future clinical trials and for commercial sale, if approved. Its contract manufacturer may not be able to adopt, adapt or scale up the manufacturing process in a timely manner to support its future clinical trials. The process of manufacturing its product is complex, highly regulated and subject to several risks, including:

15

The manufacture of GEM103 and other product candidates require significant expertise and capital investment, including the development of advanced manufacturing techniques and process controls. Manufacturers of these products sometimes encounter difficulties in production, especially during scale-up from the manufacturing process used for early clinical trials to a validated process needed for pivotal clinical studies and commercial launch. These problems include failure to meet target production costs and yields, sub-par quality control testing, including stability of the product, quality assurance system failures, operator error and shortages of qualified personnel, as well as compliance with strictly enforced federal, state and foreign regulations. Gemini cannot assure you that any product quality issues relating to the manufacture of GEM103 or any other product candidates will not occur in the future.

Gemini does not have and Gemini does not currently plan to acquire or build the facilities or internal capabilities to manufacture bulk drug substance or filled drug product for use in clinical trials or commercialization. To a large extent, that makes us dependent on the goodwill of its contract manufacturing partners to quickly fix deviations that will inevitably occur during the manufacturing of its product. Any delay or interruption in the supply of clinical trial materials could delay the completion of clinical trials, increase the costs associated with maintaining clinical trial programs and, depending upon the period of delay, require us to commence new clinical trials at additional expense or terminate clinical trials altogether.

Its business could be adversely affected by the effects of health epidemics, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic, in regions where third parties for which Gemini relies have significant research, development or manufacturing facilities, concentrations of clinical trial sites or other business operations, causing disruption in supplies and services.

Its business could be adversely affected by health epidemics in regions where third parties for which Gemini relies, such as CROs or CMOs, have concentrations of clinical trial sites or other business operations, and could cause significant disruption in the operations of third-party manufacturers and CROs upon whom Gemini relies. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization, or WHO, announced a global health emergency because of SARS-CoV-2, a new strain of novel coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China, and the risks to the international community as the virus spread globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the world. The spread of this pandemic has caused significant volatility and uncertainty in U.S. and international markets. This could result in an economic downturn and may disrupt its business and delay its clinical programs and timelines.

Quarantines, shelter-in-place and similar government orders, or the perception that such orders, shutdowns or other restrictions on the conduct of business operations could occur, related to COVID-19 pandemic or other infectious diseases, could impact personnel at third-party manufacturing facilities in the United States and other countries, or the availability or cost of materials, which would disrupt its supply chain. Any manufacturing

16

supply interruption of materials could adversely affect its ability to conduct ongoing and future research and manufacturing activities.

In addition, its clinical trials may be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Clinical site initiation and patient enrollment may be delayed due to prioritization of healthcare system resources toward the COVID-19 pandemic. Some patients may not be able to comply with clinical trial protocols if quarantines impede patient movement or interrupt healthcare services. Similarly, Gemini’s clinical trial operations may be adversely impacted due to increased difficulty to recruit and retain patients and principal investigators and site staff who, as healthcare providers, may have heightened exposure to COVID-19 pandemic.

The spread of COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused a broad impact globally, may materially affect Gemini economically. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 pandemic may be difficult to assess or predict, a widespread pandemic could result in significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing its ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect its liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 pandemic could materially affect its business and the value of its common stock.

The global pandemic of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. Gemini does not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on its business, its clinical trials, healthcare systems or the global economy as a whole. However, these effects could have a material impact on its operations.

Gemini may encounter difficulties in managing its growth, which could adversely affect its operations.

As of the date of this prospectus, Gemini had 29 full-time and part-time employees. As Gemini continues development and pursues the potential commercialization of its product candidates, Gemini will need to expand its financial, development, regulatory, manufacturing, marketing and sales capabilities or contract with third parties to provide these capabilities for us. As its operations expand, Gemini expects that it will need to manage additional relationships with various strategic collaborators, suppliers and other third parties. Its future financial performance and its ability to develop and commercialize its product candidates and to compete effectively will depend, in part, on its ability to manage any future growth effectively.

Management’s focus and resources may be diverted from operational matters and other strategic opportunities as a result of the Business Combination.

The Business Combination may place a significant burden on our management and other internal resources. The diversion of management’s attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition process could harm our financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination on our systems, employees, customers, partners, and other third parties, including regulators, may have an adverse effect on us. These uncertainties may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel for a period of time after the completion of the Business Combination.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this prospectus may not be indicative of what our actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

The unaudited pro forma financial information in this prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and has been prepared based on a number of assumptions. Accordingly, such pro forma financial information may not be indicative of our future operating or financial performance and our actual financial condition and results of operations may vary materially from our pro forma results of operations and balance sheet contained elsewhere in this prospectus, including as a result of such assumptions not being accurate. Additionally, the final acquisition accounting adjustments could differ materially from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented in this

prospectus. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination. See “Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

If Gemini fails to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, Gemini may not be able to accurately report its financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, stockholders could lose confidence in its financial and other public reporting, which would harm its business and the trading price of its common stock.

Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for Gemini to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation could cause us to fail to meet its reporting obligations. In addition, any testing by Gemini conducted in connection with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404, or any subsequent testing by its independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in its internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses or that may require prospective or retroactive changes to its financial statements or identify other areas for further attention or improvement. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in its reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of its stock.

Gemini will be required to disclose changes made in its internal controls and procedures on a quarterly basis and its management will be required to assess the effectiveness of these controls annually. However, for as long as Gemini is an emerging growth company, or EGC, its independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404. An independent assessment of the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting could detect problems that its management’s assessment might not. Undetected material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting could lead to restatements of its financial statements and require us to incur the expense of remediation.

Gemini’s disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud.

Gemini’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed by it in reports Gemini files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to management, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Gemini believes that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by an unauthorized override of the controls. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in its control system, misstatements or insufficient disclosures due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Gemini must attract and retain highly skilled employees in order to succeed. If Gemini is not able to retain its current senior management team and its scientific advisors or continue to attract and retain qualified scientific, technical and business personnel, its business will suffer.

To succeed, Gemini must recruit, retain, manage and motivate qualified clinical, scientific, technical and management personnel and Gemini faces significant competition for experienced personnel. If Gemini does not succeed in attracting and retaining qualified personnel, particularly at the management level, it could adversely affect its ability to execute its business plan and harm its operating results. Gemini is dependent on the members of its management team and its scientific advisors for its business success, including its Chief Executive Officer,

18

Jason Meyenburg. Gemini does not maintain “key person” insurance for any of its key personnel. An important element of its strategy is to take advantage of the research and development expertise of its current management. Gemini currently has employment agreements with all of its executive officers. Its employment agreements with its executive officers are terminable by them without notice and some provide for severance and change in control benefits. The loss of any one of its executive officers could result in a significant loss in the knowledge and experience that Gemini, as an organization, possesses and could cause significant delays, or outright failure, in the development and further commercialization of its product candidates.

There is intense competition for qualified personnel, including management in the technical fields in which Gemini operates and Gemini may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel necessary for the successful research, development and commercialization of its product candidates. In particular, Gemini has experienced a very competitive hiring environment in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Gemini is headquartered. Many of the other pharmaceutical companies that Gemini competes against for qualified personnel has greater financial and other resources, different risk profiles and a longer history in the industry than Gemini does. They also may provide more diverse opportunities and better chances for career advancement. Some of these characteristics may be more appealing to high-quality candidates than what Gemini has to offer. If Gemini is unable to continue to attract and retain high-quality personnel, the rate and success with which Gemini can discover and develop product candidates and its business will be limited.

Its employees, independent contractors, consultants, commercial partners and vendors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements.

Gemini cannot ensure that its compliance controls, policies, and procedures will in every instance protect us from acts committed by its employees, agents, contractors, or collaborators that would violate the law or regulation, including, without limitation, healthcare, employment, foreign corrupt practices, environmental, competition, and patient privacy and other privacy laws and regulations. Such improper actions could subject us to civil or criminal investigations, and monetary and injunctive penalties, and could adversely impact its ability to conduct business, operating results, and reputation.

Gemini is exposed to the risk of employee fraud or other illegal activity by its employees, independent contractors, consultants, commercial partners and vendors. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional, reckless and/or negligent conduct that fails to comply with the laws enforced by the FDA and applicable foreign regulatory authorities, fails to provide true, complete and accurate information to the FDA and applicable foreign regulatory authorities, fails to comply with manufacturing standards Gemini has established, fails to comply with healthcare fraud and abuse laws in the United States and similar foreign laws, or fails to report financial information or data accurately or to disclose unauthorized activities to us. If Gemini obtains FDA approval of any of its product candidates and begin commercializing those products in the United States, its potential exposure under these laws will increase significantly, and its costs associated with compliance with these laws are also likely to increase. Additionally, Gemini is subject to the risk that a person could allege such fraud or other misconduct, even if none occurred. These laws may impact, among other things, its current activities with principal investigators and research patients, as well as proposed and future sales, marketing and education programs. If any such actions are instituted against us, and Gemini is not successful in defending itself or asserting its rights, those actions could have a significant impact on its business, including the imposition of civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines, possible exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, and curtailment of its operations, any of which could adversely affect its ability to operate its business and its results of operations. It is not always possible to identify and deter employee misconduct, and the precautions Gemini takes to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from government investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with these laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against us and Gemini is not successful in defending itself or asserting its rights, those actions could

19

result in significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, imprisonment, exclusion from government funded healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, integrity oversight and reporting obligations, and the curtailment or restructuring of its operations.

Enrollment and retention of patients in clinical trials is an expensive and time-consuming process and could be made more difficult or rendered impossible by multiple factors outside its control, significant competition for recruiting patients with AMD in clinical trials.

Identifying and qualifying patients to participate in its clinical trials is critical to its success. Gemini may encounter delays in enrolling, or be unable to enroll, a sufficient number of patients to complete any of its clinical trials, and even once enrolled Gemini may be unable to retain a sufficient number of patients to complete any of its trials.

Factors that may generally affect patient enrollment include:

In addition, if any significant adverse events or other side effects are observed in any of its future clinical trials, it may make it more difficult for Gemini to recruit patients to its clinical trials and patients may drop out of its trials, or Gemini may be required to abandon the trials or its development efforts of one or more product candidates altogether. Its inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for its clinical trials would result in significant delays, which would increase its costs and have an adverse effect on Gemini.

Gemini faces substantial competition, which may result in others discovering, developing or commercializing products before or more successfully than us.

The biotechnology industry is intensely competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Its competitors include multinational pharmaceutical companies, specialized biotechnology companies and universities and other research institutions. A number of pharmaceutical companies, as well as large and small biotechnology companies such as Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and IVERIC bio are pursuing the development or marketing of pharmaceuticals that target AMD. It is also probable that the number of companies seeking to develop products and therapies for the treatment of serious eye diseases, such as AMD, will increase. Many of its competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, human and other resources than Gemini does and may be better equipped to develop, manufacture and market technologically superior products. In addition, many of these competitors has significantly greater experience than Gemini has in undertaking nonclinical studies and human clinical trials of new pharmaceutical products and in obtaining regulatory approvals of human therapeutic products. Accordingly, its competitors may succeed in obtaining FDA approval for superior products. In addition, many competitors have greater name recognition and more extensive collaborative relationships.

20

Smaller and earlier-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large, established companies.

Its competitors may obtain regulatory approval of their products more rapidly than Gemini does or may obtain patent protection or other intellectual property rights that limit its ability to develop or commercialize its product candidates. Its competitors may also develop drugs that are more effective, more convenient, more widely used and less costly or have a better safety profile than its products and these competitors may also be more successful than Gemini is in manufacturing and marketing their products. If Gemini is unable to compete effectively against these companies, then Gemini may not be able to commercialize its product candidates or achieve a competitive position in the market. This would adversely affect its ability to generate revenue. Its competitors also compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific, management and commercial personnel, establishing clinical trial sites and patient registration for clinical trials, as well as in acquiring technologies complementary to, or necessary for, its programs.

Gemini’s business and operations would suffer in the event of computer system failures, cyber-attacks or deficiencies in its or related parties’ cyber security.

Given its limited operating history, Gemini is still in the process of implementing its internal security measures. Its internal computer systems and those of current and future third parties on which Gemini rely may fail and are vulnerable to damage from computer viruses and unauthorized access. Its information technology and other internal infrastructure systems, including corporate firewalls, servers, leased lines and connection to the Internet, face the risk of systemic failure that could disrupt its operations. While Gemini has not, to its knowledge, experienced any such material system failure or security breach to date, if such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in its operations, it could result in a material disruption of its development programs and its business operations. For example, the loss of clinical trial data from completed or future clinical trials could result in delays in its regulatory approval efforts and significantly increase its costs to recover or reproduce the data. Likewise, Gemini relies on third parties for the manufacture of its product candidates and to conduct clinical trials, and similar events relating to their computer systems could also have a material adverse effect on its business. To the extent that any disruption or security breach were to result in a loss of, or damage to, its data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, Gemini could incur liability, its competitive position could be harmed and the further development and commercialization of its product candidates could be hindered or delayed.

Comprehensive tax reform legislation could adversely affect its business and financial condition.

The “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” or the Tax Act, significantly revised the Code. The Tax Act, among other things, includes a reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, a limitation of the tax deduction for net interest expense to 30% of adjusted earnings (except for certain small businesses), a limitation of the deduction for net operating losses, or NOLs, to 80% of current year taxable income and an elimination of NOL carrybacks (though any such NOLs may be carried forward indefinitely), and modifying or repealing many business deductions and credits (including reducing the business tax credit for certain clinical testing expenses incurred in the testing of certain drugs for rare diseases or conditions generally referred to as “orphan drugs”). Additionally, on March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, which, among other things, suspends the 80% limitation on the deduction for NOLs in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2021, permits a 5-year carryback of NOLs arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021, and generally caps the limitation on the deduction for net interest expense at 50% of adjusted taxable income for taxable years beginning in 2019 and 2020. Gemini continues to examine the impact this tax reform legislation may has on its business. Gemini urges investors to consult with their legal and tax advisers regarding the implications of the Tax Act and the CARES Act on an investment in its common stock.

21

Gemini might not be able to utilize a significant portion of its U.S. NOL carryforwards and U.S. research and development tax credit carryforwards.

As of December 31, 2020, Gemini had U.S. federal and state NOL carryforwards of $102.2 million and $95.1 million, respectively, and U.S. federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of $3.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. If not utilized, such NOL carryforwards and research and development credits will expire at various dates beginning in 2037 (with the exception of $94.6 million, which has no expiration date) and 2040, respectively. Gemini does not anticipate generating revenue from sales of products for the foreseeable future, if ever, and Gemini may never achieve profitability. These NOL and tax credit carryforwards could expire unused and be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities. Under the Tax Act, unused losses generated in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 will not expire and may be carried forward indefinitely, and generally may not be carried back to prior taxable years, except that, under the CARES Act a 5-year carryback of NOLs arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021 is permitted. Additionally, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020, the deductibility of such U.S. federal NOLs is limited to 80% of its taxable income in any future taxable year. In addition, under Section 382 of the Code, the amount of benefits from its NOL carryforwards may be impaired or limited if Gemini incurs a cumulative ownership change of more than 50% over a three-year period. Gemini may have experienced ownership changes in the past and Gemini may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of the Business Combination and subsequent shifts in its stock ownership, some of which are outside its control. As a result, its use of U.S. federal NOL carryforwards could be limited. State NOL carryforwards may be similarly limited. Any such disallowances may result in greater tax liabilities than Gemini would incur in the absence of such a limitation and any increased liabilities could adversely affect its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Gemini uses and generates materials that may expose it to material liability.

Gemini’s research programs involve the use of hazardous materials and chemicals, which are currently only handled by third parties. Gemini is subject to foreign, federal, state and local environmental and health and safety laws and regulations governing, among other matters, the use, manufacture, handling, storage and disposal of hazardous materials and waste products. Gemini may incur significant costs to comply with these current or future environmental and health and safety laws and regulations. In addition, Gemini cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury from hazardous materials and may incur material liability as a result of such contamination or injury. In the event of an accident, an injured party may seek to hold us liable for any damages that result. Any liability could exceed the limits or fall outside the coverage of its workers’ compensation, property and business interruption insurance and Gemini may not be able to maintain insurance on acceptable terms, if at all. Gemini currently carries no insurance specifically covering environmental claims.

Risks Related to Government Regulation

The regulatory approval processes of the FDA and applicable foreign regulatory authorities are lengthy, time-consuming and inherently unpredictable. Its inability to obtain regulatory approval for GEM103 or any other product candidate would substantially harm its business.

The time required to obtain approval from the FDA and applicable foreign regulatory authorities is unpredictable but typically takes many years following the commencement of nonclinical studies and clinical trials and depends upon numerous factors, including the substantial discretion of regulatory authorities. In addition, approval policies, regulations or the type and amount of clinical data necessary to gain approval may change during the course of a product candidate’s development and may vary among jurisdictions.

GEM103 or its other product candidates could fail to receive regulatory approval from the FDA or an applicable foreign regulatory authority for many reasons, including:

22

The FDA or an applicable foreign regulatory authority may require more information, including additional nonclinical or clinical data to support approval, which may delay or prevent approval and its commercialization plans, or Gemini may decide to abandon the development program for other reasons. If Gemini were to obtain approval, regulatory authorities may approve any of its product for fewer more limited indications than Gemini request, may require labeling or a Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategy, or REMS, that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or safety warnings, precautions, or contraindications, may grant approval contingent on the performance of costly post-marketing clinical trials or may approve a product candidate with a label that does not include the labeling claims necessary or desirable for the successful commercialization of that product candidate.

Failures or delays in the commencement or completion of, or ambiguous or negative results from, Gemini’s ongoing and planned clinical trials of its product candidates could result in increased costs to us and could delay, prevent, or limit its ability to generate revenue and continue its business.

Gemini does not know whether its current Phase 2a clinical trials or any of its planned clinical trials will be completed on schedule, if at all, as the commencement and completion of clinical trials can be delayed or prevented for a number of reasons, including, among others:

23

Clinical trials may also be delayed or terminated as a result of ambiguous or negative interim results. In addition, a clinical study may be suspended or terminated by us, the FDA or applicable foreign regulatory authorities, the IRBs at the sites where the IRBs are overseeing a clinical study, a data and safety monitoring board, or DSMB, overseeing the clinical study at issue or other regulatory authorities due to a number of factors, including, among others:

Any inability to successfully complete nonclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us or impair its ability to generate revenue. In addition, if Gemini makes changes to a product candidate, such as changes to the formulation, Gemini may need to conduct additional nonclinical studies or clinical trials to bridge or demonstrate the comparability of its modified product candidate to earlier versions, which could delay its clinical development plan or marketing approval for its product candidates. Clinical trial delays could also shorten any periods during which Gemini may have the exclusive right to commercialize its product candidates or allow its competitors to bring products to market before Gemini does, which could impair its ability to successfully commercialize its product candidates and may harm its business and results of operations.

Gemini has limited experience in conducting clinical trials and has never obtained approval for any product candidates and may be unable to do so successfully.

As a company, Gemini has limited experience in designing, conducting or completing clinical trials and has never progressed a product candidate through to regulatory approval. In part because of this lack of experience, its clinical trials may require more time and incur greater costs than Gemini anticipates. Gemini cannot be certain that the planned clinical trials will begin or conclude on time, if at all. Large-scale trials will require significant additional financial and management resources. Any performance failure on the part of such third parties could

24

delay the clinical development of its product candidates or delay or prevent us from obtaining regulatory approval or commercializing its product candidates, depriving us of potential product revenue and resulting in additional losses.

The advancement of healthcare reform may negatively impact its ability to profitably sell its product candidates, if approved.

The United States and many foreign jurisdictions have enacted or proposed legislative and regulatory changes affecting the healthcare system that could prevent or delay marketing approval of its product candidates, restrict or regulate post-approval activities and affect its ability to profitably sell any product for which Gemini obtains marketing approval. Changes in regulations, statutes or the interpretation of existing regulations could impact its business in the future by requiring, for example: (i) changes to its manufacturing arrangements; (ii) additions or modifications to product labeling; (iii) the recall or discontinuation of its products; or (iv) additional record-keeping requirements.

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, was enacted, which includes measures that has significantly changed the way health care is financed by both governmental and private insurers. Some of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act have yet to be implemented, and there have been judicial, congressional, and executive branch challenges to certain aspects of the Affordable Care Act. Since January 2017, President Trump has signed two Executive Orders and other directives designed to delay the implementation of certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act or otherwise circumvent some of the requirements for health insurance mandated by the Affordable Care Act. One Executive Order directs federal agencies with authorities and responsibilities under the Affordable Care Act to waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of any provision of the Affordable Care Act that would impose a fiscal or regulatory burden on states, individuals, healthcare providers, health insurers, or manufacturers of pharmaceuticals or medical devices. The second Executive Order terminates the cost-sharing subsidies that reimburse insurers under the Affordable Care Act. Several state Attorneys General filed suit to stop the Trump administration from terminating the subsidies, but their request for a restraining order was denied by a federal judge in California on October 25, 2017. Further, on June 14, 2018, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that the federal government was not required to pay more than $12 billion in Affordable Care Act risk corridor payments to third-party payors who argued were owed to them. The effects of this gap in reimbursement on third-party payors, the viability of the Affordable Care Act marketplace, providers, and potentially its business, are not yet known.

Congress has also considered legislation that would repeal or repeal and replace all or part of the Affordable Care Act. While Congress has not passed comprehensive repeal legislation, two bills affecting the implementation of certain taxes under the Affordable Care Act has been signed into law. The Tax Act included a provision which repealed, effective January 1, 2019, the tax-based shared responsibility payment imposed by the Affordable Care Act on certain individuals who fail to maintain qualifying health coverage for all or part of a year that is commonly referred to as the “individual mandate.” On January 22, 2018, President Trump signed a continuing resolution on appropriations for fiscal year 2018 that delayed the implementation of certain Affordable Care Act-mandated fees, including the so-called “Cadillac” tax on certain high cost employer-sponsored insurance plans, the annual fee imposed on certain health insurance providers based on market share, and the medical device excise tax on non-exempt medical devices. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, or the BBA, among other things, amended the Affordable Care Act, effective January 1, 2019, to close the coverage gap in most Medicare drug plans, commonly referred to as the “donut hole.” In July 2018, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, published a final rule permitting further collections and payments to and from certain Affordable Care Act qualified health plans and health insurance issuers under the Affordable Care Act risk adjustment program in response to the outcome of federal district court litigation regarding the method CMS uses to determine this risk adjustment. Moreover, CMS issued a final rule in 2018 that will give states greater flexibility, starting in 2020, in setting benchmarks for insurers in the individual and small group marketplaces, which may have the effect of relaxing the essential health benefits required under the Affordable Care Act for

25

plans sold through such marketplaces. On December 14, 2018, a U.S. District Judge in the Northern District of Texas, or the Texas District Court Judge, ruled that the individual mandate is a critical and inseverable feature of the Affordable Care Act, and therefore, because it was repealed as part of the Tax Act, the remaining provisions of the Affordable Care Act are invalid as well. While the Texas District Court Judge, as well as the Trump Administration and CMS, has stated that the ruling will has no immediate effect, it is unclear how this decision, subsequent appeals and other efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act will impact the Affordable Care Act and its business.

In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. In August 2011, President Obama signed into law the Budget Control Act of 2011, which, among other things, created the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to recommend to Congress proposals in spending reductions. The Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction did not achieve a targeted deficit reduction, which triggered the legislation’s automatic reduction to several government programs. This includes aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of, on average, 2% per fiscal year through 2025 unless Congress takes additional action. These reductions were extended through 2027 under the BBA. In January 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitals and cancer treatment centers, and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years.

Recently, there has been increasing legislative and enforcement interest in the United States with respect to specialty drug pricing practices. Specifically, there has been several recent U.S. congressional inquiries and proposed and enacted federal and state legislation designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to drug pricing, reduce the cost of prescription drugs under Medicare, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient programs and reform government program reimbursement methodologies for drugs. At the federal level, the Trump administration’s budget proposal for fiscal year 2019 contained further drug price control measures that could be enacted during the 2019 budget process or in other future legislation, including, for example, measures to permit Medicare Part D plans to negotiate the price of certain drugs under Medicare Part B, to allow some states to negotiate drug prices under Medicaid, and to eliminate cost sharing for generic drugs for low-income patients. Additionally, the Trump administration released a “Blueprint” to lower drug prices and reduce out of pocket costs of drugs that contains additional proposals to increase manufacturer competition, increase the negotiating power of certain federal healthcare programs, incentivize manufacturers to lower the list price of their products and reduce the out of pocket costs of drug products paid by consumers. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS, has already started the process of soliciting feedback on some of these measures and, at the same time, is immediately implementing others under its existing authority. For example, in September 2018, CMS announced that it will allow Medicare Advantage Plans the option to use step therapy for Part B drugs beginning January 1, 2019, and in October 2018, CMS proposed a new rule that would require direct-to-consumer television advertisements of prescription drugs and biological products, for which payment is available through or under Medicare or Medicaid, to include in the advertisement the Wholesale Acquisition Cost, or list price, of that drug or biological product. On January 31, 2019, the HHS Office of Inspector General, proposed modifications to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute discount safe harbor for the purpose of reducing the cost of drug products to consumers which, among other things, if finalized, will affect discounts paid by manufacturers to Medicare Part D plans, Medicaid managed care organizations and pharmacy benefit managers working with these organizations. Although a number of these, and other proposed measures may require additional authorization to become effective, Congress and the Trump administration has each indicated that it will continue to seek new legislative and/or administrative measures to control drug costs. At the state level, legislatures has increasingly passed legislation and implemented regulations designed to control pharmaceutical and biological product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access and marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, and, in some cases, designed to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing.

Gemini expects that the healthcare reform measures that has been adopted and may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorous coverage criteria and in additional downward pressure on the price that Gemini receives

26

for any approved product and could seriously harm its future revenues. Any reduction in reimbursement from Medicare or other government programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private third-party payors.

Further, on May 30, 2018, the Trickett Wedler, Frank Mongiello, Jordan McLinn, and Matthew Bellina Right to Try Act of 2017, or the Right to Try Act, was signed into law. The law, among other things, provides a federal framework for certain patients to request access to certain investigational new drug products that has completed a Phase I clinical trial and that are undergoing investigation for FDA approval. There is no obligation for a pharmaceutical manufacturer to make its drug products available to eligible patients as a result of the Right to Try Act.

There has been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the foreign, federal and state levels directed at broadening the availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. The implementation of cost containment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability, or commercialize its product. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenue from product candidates that Gemini may successfully develop and for which Gemini may obtain regulatory approval and may affect its overall financial condition and ability to develop product candidates.

Gemini’s relationships with customers and third-party payors will be subject to applicable anti-kickback, fraud and abuse, transparency and other healthcare laws and regulations, which, if violated, could expose it to criminal sanctions, civil penalties, contractual damages, reputational harm, administrative burdens and diminished profits and future earnings.

Healthcare providers, physicians and third-party payors will play a primary role in the recommendation and prescription of any product candidates for which Gemini obtains marketing approval. Its current and future arrangements with healthcare providers, third-party payors and customers may expose us to broadly applicable fraud and abuse and other healthcare laws and regulations that may constrain the business or financial arrangements and relationships through which Gemini researches, and if approved, markets, sells and distributes its products. Restrictions under applicable federal and state healthcare laws and regulations, include the following:

27

Efforts to ensure that its business arrangements with third parties comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations will involve substantial costs. It is possible that governmental authorities will conclude that its business practices may not comply with current or future statutes, regulations or case law interpreting applicable fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws and regulations. If its operations are found to be in violation of any of these laws or any other governmental regulations that may apply to us, Gemini may be subject to significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, imprisonment, exclusion from government funded healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, integrity oversight and reporting obligations, and the curtailment or restructuring of its operations. If any of the physicians or other healthcare providers or entities with whom Gemini expects to do business is found not to be in compliance with applicable laws, that person or entity may be subject to criminal, civil or administrative sanctions, including exclusions from government funded healthcare programs.

Failure to comply with health and data protection laws and regulations could lead to government enforcement actions (which could include civil or criminal penalties), private litigation, and/or adverse publicity and could negatively affect its operating results and business.

Gemini and any potential collaborators may be subject to federal, state, and foreign data protection laws and regulations (i.e., laws and regulations that address privacy and data security). In the United States, numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including federal health information privacy laws, state data breach notification laws, state health information privacy laws, and federal and state consumer protection laws (e.g., Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, or CCPA), that govern the collection, use, disclosure and protection of health-related and other personal information could apply to its operations or the operations of its collaborators. The state of California, for example, recently adopted the CCPA, which will come into effect beginning in January 2020. The CCPA has been characterized as the first “GDPR-like” privacy statute to be enacted in the United States because it mirrors a number of the key provisions of the European Union General Data Protection Regulation, or EU GDPR. The CCPA establishes a new privacy framework for covered businesses by creating an expanded definition of personal information, establishing new

28

data privacy rights for consumers in the State of California, imposing special rules on the collection of consumer data from minors, and creating a new and potentially severe statutory damages framework for violations of the CCPA and for businesses that fail to implement reasonable security procedures and practices to prevent data breaches. In addition, Gemini may obtain health information from third parties (including research institutions from which Gemini obtains clinical trial data) that are subject to privacy and security requirements under HIPAA, as amended by HITECH. Depending on the facts and circumstances, Gemini could be subject to civil, criminal, and administrative penalties if Gemini knowingly obtain, use, or disclose individually identifiable health information maintained by a HIPAA-covered entity in a manner that is not authorized or permitted by HIPAA.

Compliance with U.S. and international data protection laws and regulations, including the EU GDPR and other EU data protection laws, could require us to take on more onerous obligations in its contracts, restrict its ability to collect, use and disclose data, or in some cases, impact its ability to operate in certain jurisdictions. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in government enforcement actions (which could include civil, criminal and administrative penalties), private litigation, and/or adverse publicity and could negatively affect its operating results and business. Moreover, clinical trial subjects, employees and other individuals about whom Gemini or its potential collaborators obtain personal information, as well as the providers who share this information with us, may limit its ability to collect, use and disclose the information. Claims that Gemini has violated individuals’ privacy rights, failed to comply with data protection laws, or breached its contractual obligations, even if Gemini is not found liable, could be expensive and time-consuming to defend and could result in adverse publicity that could harm its business.

Clinical development is uncertain and Gemini’s clinical trials for GEM103 and any other product candidates may experience delays, which would adversely affect its ability to obtain regulatory approvals or commercialize these programs on a timely basis or at all, which would have an adverse effect on its business.

Gemini cannot be sure that Gemini will be able to submit INDs or similar applications for its preclinical programs on the timelines Gemini expects, if at all. To proceed with its development plans and ultimately commercialization, Gemini may need to conduct and meet regulatory requirements for preclinical and clinical studies. For therapeutic applications, the FDA may require additional extensive preclinical and other studies. Gemini cannot be certain of the timely completion or outcomes of its preclinical testing and studies and cannot predict if the FDA or other regulatory authorities will accept its proposed clinical programs or if the outcomes of its preclinical testing and studies will ultimately support the further development of its programs. As a result, there is no assurance that Gemini will be able to submit INDs or similar applications on the timelines Gemini expects, if at all, and Gemini cannot be sure that submission of an IND or similar applications will result in the FDA or other regulatory authorities allowing a clinical trial design to begin. For example, Gemini plans to use its IND for GEM103 in dry AMD to run a trial of GEM103 in wet AMD, however, Gemini has not yet met with the FDA to discuss such plans, and the FDA may reject such plans.

Even if Gemini is able to obtain regulatory approvals for its product candidates, if they exhibit harmful side effects after approval, its regulatory approvals could be revoked or otherwise negatively impacted, and Gemini could be subject to costly and damaging product liability claims.

Clinical trials are conducted in representative samples of the potential patient population which may has significant variability. Even if Gemini receives regulatory approval for GEM103 or any of its other product candidates, Gemini will have tested them in only a small number of patients during its clinical trials. Clinical trials are by design based on a limited number of subjects and of limited duration for exposure to the product used to determine whether, on a potentially statistically significant basis, the planned safety and efficacy of any product candidate can be achieved. As with the results of any statistical sampling, Gemini cannot be sure that all side effects of its product candidates may be uncovered, and it may be the case that only with a significantly larger number of patients exposed to the product candidate for a longer duration, may a more complete safety profile be identified. Further, even larger clinical trials may not identify rare serious adverse effects or the duration of such studies may not be sufficient to identify when those events may occur. If its applications for

29

marketing are approved and more patients begin to use its product, new risks and side effects associated with its products may be discovered. There have been other products that have been approved by the regulatory authorities but for which safety concerns has been uncovered following approval. Such safety concerns have led to labelling changes or withdrawal of products from the market, and any of its product candidates may be subject to similar risks. Additionally, Gemini may be required to conduct additional nonclinical and clinical trials, require additional warnings on the label of its products, reformulate its product or make changes, create a medication guide outlining the risks of such side effects for distribution to patients and obtain new approvals for its and its suppliers’ manufacturing facilities for GEM103 and any other product candidates. Gemini might have to withdraw or recall its products from the marketplace. Gemini may also experience a significant drop in the potential sales of its products if and when regulatory approvals for such products are obtained, experience harm to its reputation in the marketplace or become subject to lawsuits, including class actions. Any of these results could decrease or prevent any sales of its approved products or substantially increase the costs and expenses of commercializing and marketing its products.

Even if its product candidates receive regulatory approval, they will remain subject to extensive regulatory scrutiny and may still face future development and regulatory difficulties.

Even if Gemini obtains regulatory approval for a product candidate, regulatory authorities may still impose significant restrictions on its product candidates, including their indicated uses or marketing, or impose ongoing requirements for potentially costly post-approval studies. Further, even if Gemini obtains regulatory approval for a product candidate, it would be subject to ongoing requirements by the governing the manufacture, quality control, further development, labeling, packaging, storage, distribution, safety surveillance, import, export, advertising, promotion, recordkeeping and reporting of safety and other post-market information.

The FDA and applicable foreign regulatory authorities will continue to closely monitor the safety profile of any product even after approval. If the FDA or applicable foreign regulatory authorities become aware of new safety information after approval of its product candidates, they may require labeling changes or establishment of a REMS or similar strategy, impose significant restrictions on a product’s indicated uses or marketing or impose ongoing requirements for potentially costly post-approval studies or post-market surveillance.

In addition, manufacturers of drug and biologic products and their facilities are subject to continual review and periodic inspections by the FDA and other regulatory authorities for compliance with current good manufacturing practice, or cGMP, regulations and standards. If Gemini or a regulatory agency discover previously unknown problems with a product, such as adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or problems with the facility where the product is manufactured, a regulatory agency may impose restrictions on that product, the manufacturing facility or us, including requiring recall or withdrawal of the product from the market or suspension of manufacturing. If Gemini, its product candidates or the manufacturing facilities for its product candidates fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, or undesirable side effects caused by such products are identified, a regulatory agency may:

30

The occurrence of any event or penalty described above may inhibit its ability to commercialize its products and generate revenue.

Advertising and promotion of any product candidate that obtains approval in the United States will be heavily scrutinized by the FDA, the Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General, state attorneys general, members of Congress and the public. Violations, including promotion of its products for unapproved (or off-label) uses, are subject to enforcement letters, inquiries and investigations, and civil and criminal sanctions by the government. Additionally, applicable foreign regulatory authorities will heavily scrutinize advertising and promotion of any product candidate that obtains approval outside of the United States.

In the United States, engaging in the impermissible promotion of its products for off-label uses can also subject us to false claims litigation under federal and state statutes, which can lead to civil and criminal penalties and fines and agreements that materially restrict the manner in which a company promotes or distributes drug and biologic products. These false claims statutes include the federal False Claims Act, which allows any individual to bring a lawsuit against a pharmaceutical company on behalf of the federal government alleging submission of false or fraudulent claims, or causing to present such false or fraudulent claims, for payment by a federal program such as Medicare or Medicaid. If the government prevails in the lawsuit, the individual will share in any fines or settlement funds. Since 2004, these federal False Claims Act lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies has increased significantly in volume and breadth, leading to several substantial civil and criminal settlements regarding certain sales practices promoting off-label product uses involving fines in excess of $1 billion. This growth in litigation has increased the risk that a pharmaceutical company will have to defend a false claim action, pay settlement fines or restitution, agree to comply with burdensome reporting and compliance obligations and be excluded from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs. If Gemini does not lawfully promote its approved products, Gemini may become subject to such litigation and, if Gemini does not successfully defend against such actions, those actions may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

The FDA’s policies may change and additional government regulations may be enacted that could prevent, limit or delay regulatory approval of its product candidates. If Gemini is slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or adopt new requirements or policies, or if Gemini is not able to maintain regulatory compliance, Gemini may lose any marketing approval that Gemini may have obtained, which would adversely affect its business, prospects and ability to achieve or sustain profitability.

Healthcare insurance coverage and reimbursement may be limited or unavailable for its product candidates, if approved, which could make it difficult for us to sell its product candidates profitably.

The success of its product candidates, if approved, depends on the availability of coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors including governmental healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, commercial payors, and health maintenance organizations. Gemini cannot be sure that coverage and reimbursement will be available for, or accurately estimate the potential revenue from, its product candidates or assure that coverage and reimbursement will be available for any product that Gemini may develop.

Patients who are provided medical treatment for their conditions generally rely on third-party payors to reimburse all or part of the costs associated with their treatment. Coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors is critical to new product acceptance.

31

Third-party payors decide which products and treatments they will cover and the amount of reimbursement. Coverage and reimbursement by a third-party payor may depend upon a number of factors, including the third-party payor’s determination that use of a product is:

In the United States, no uniform policy of coverage and reimbursement for products exists among third-party payors. As a result, obtaining coverage and reimbursement approval of a product from a third-party payor is a time consuming and costly process that could require us to provide to each payor supporting scientific, clinical and cost effectiveness data for the use of its products on a payor-by-payor basis, with no assurance that coverage and adequate reimbursement will be obtained. There is significant uncertainty related to the insurance coverage and reimbursement of newly approved products. In the United States, the principal decisions about reimbursement for new medicines are typically made by CMS, an agency within HHS, as CMS decides whether and to what extent a new medicine will be covered and reimbursed under Medicare. Private third-party payors tend to follow Medicare coverage and reimbursement limitations to a substantial degree, but also has their own methods and approval process apart from Medicare determinations. Even if Gemini obtains coverage for a given product, the resulting reimbursement payment rates might not be adequate for us to achieve or sustain profitability or may require co-payments that patients find unacceptably high.

Its failure to obtain regulatory approval in international jurisdictions would prevent Gemini from marketing its product candidates outside the United States.

Even if its products are approved for marketing in the United States, in order to market and sell its products in other jurisdictions, Gemini must obtain separate marketing approvals and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements. The approval procedure varies among countries and can involve additional testing. The time required to obtain approval may differ substantially from that required to obtain FDA approval. The regulatory approval process outside the United States generally includes all of the risks associated with obtaining FDA approval. In addition, in many countries outside the United States, Gemini must secure product reimbursement approvals before regulatory authorities will approve the product for sale in that country. Obtaining applicable foreign regulatory authorities and compliance with applicable foreign regulatory requirements could result in significant delays, difficulties and costs for it and could delay or prevent the introduction of its products in certain countries. Further, clinical trials conducted in one country may not be accepted by regulatory authorities in other countries and regulatory approval in one country does not ensure approval in any other country, while a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory approval in one country may has a negative effect on the regulatory approval process in others.

Also, regulatory approval for its product candidates may be withdrawn if Gemini fails to comply with regulatory requirements, if problems occur after the product candidate reaches the market or for other reasons. If Gemini fails to comply with the regulatory requirements in international markets and fail to receive applicable marketing approvals, its target market will be reduced and its ability to realize the full market potential of its product candidates will be harmed and its business will be adversely affected. Gemini may not obtain applicable foreign regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at all. Approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries or jurisdictions. Approval by one regulatory authority outside the United States does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries or jurisdictions or by the FDA. If Gemini fails to obtain approval of its product candidates by applicable foreign regulatory authorities, Gemini will be unable to

32

commercialize its product in that country, and the commercial prospects of that product candidate and its business prospects could decline.

Gemini is subject to U.S. and certain foreign export and import controls, sanctions, embargoes, anti-corruption laws, and anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Compliance with these legal standards could impair its ability to compete in domestic and international markets. Gemini can face criminal liability and other serious consequences for violations, which can harm its business.

Gemini is subject to export control and import laws and regulations, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, U.S. Customs regulations, various economic and trade sanctions regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Controls, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, and other state and national anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in the countries in which Gemini conducts activities. Anti-corruption laws are interpreted broadly and prohibit companies and their employees, agents, contractors, and other collaborators from authorizing, promising, offering, or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments or anything else of value to recipients in the public or private sector. Gemini may engage third parties to sell its products sell its products outside the United States, to conduct clinical trials, and/or to obtain necessary permits, licenses, patent registrations, and other regulatory approvals. Gemini has direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or government-affiliated hospitals, universities, and other organizations. Gemini can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of its employees, agents, contractors, and other collaborators, even if Gemini does not explicitly authorize or has actual knowledge of such activities. Any violations of the laws and regulations described above may result in substantial civil and criminal fines and penalties, imprisonment, the loss of export or import privileges, debarment, tax reassessments, breach of contract and fraud litigation, reputational harm, and other consequences.

Changes in funding for the FDA, the SEC and other government agencies could hinder their ability to hire and retain key leadership and other personnel, prevent new or existing product candidates from being developed or commercialized in a timely manner or otherwise prevent those agencies from performing normal functions on which the operation of its business may rely, which could negatively impact its business.

The ability of the FDA to review and approve new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept payment of user fees, and statutory, regulatory, and policy changes. Average review times at the agency has fluctuated in recent years as a result. In addition, government funding of the SEC and other government agencies on which its operations may rely, including those that fund research and development activities is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable.

Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies may also slow the time necessary for new drugs to be reviewed and/or approved by necessary government agencies, which would adversely affect its business. For example, over the last several years, including beginning on December 22, 2018, the U.S. government has shut down several times and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and the SEC, has had to furlough critical FDA, SEC and other government employees and stop critical activities. If a prolonged government shutdown occurs, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process its regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on its business. Further, upon completion of the Business Combination and in its operations as a public company, future government shutdowns could impact its ability to access the public markets and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue its operations.

Separately, in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, on March 10, 2020 the FDA announced its intention to postpone most foreign inspections of manufacturing facilities and products, and subsequently, on March 18, 2020, the FDA announced its intention to temporarily postpone routine surveillance inspections of domestic manufacturing facilities. On July 10, 2020, FDA announced its intention to resume certain on-site inspections of domestic manufacturing facilities subject to a risk-based prioritization system. The FDA intends to use this risk-

33

based assessment system to identify the categories of regulatory activity that can occur within a given geographic area, ranging from mission critical inspections to resumption of all regulatory activities. Regulatory authorities outside the United States may adopt similar restrictions or other policy measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. If a prolonged government shutdown occurs, or if global health concerns continue to prevent the FDA or other regulatory authorities from conducting their regular inspections, reviews, or other regulatory activities, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA or other regulatory authorities to timely review and process its regulatory submissions, which could has a material adverse effect on its business. For example, as of June 23, 2020, the FDA noted it is continuing to ensure timely reviews of applications for medical products during the COVID-19 pandemic in line with its user fee performance goals; however, FDA may not be able to continue its current pace and review timelines could be extended.

If the FDA becomes unable to continue its current level of performance, Gemini could experience delays and setbacks for its product candidates and for any approvals Gemini may seek which could adversely affect its business.

GEM103 and other product candidates for which Gemini intends to seek approval as biologic products may face competition sooner than anticipated.

GEM103 is a biological product candidate. Gemini believes that any of its product candidates approved in the United States as a biological product under a Biologics License Application, or BLA, should qualify for the 12-year period of regulatory exclusivity. The enactment of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009, or BPCIA, as part of the Affordable Care Act, created an abbreviated pathway for the approval of biosimilar and interchangeable biological products. The abbreviated regulatory pathway establishes legal authority for the FDA to review and approve biosimilar biologics, including the possible designation of a biosimilar as “interchangeable” based on its similarity to an existing brand product. Under the BPCIA, an application for a biosimilar product cannot be approved by the FDA until 12 years after the original branded product was approved under a BLA. Certain changes, however, and supplements to an approved BLA, and subsequent applications filed by the same sponsor, manufacturer, licensor, predecessor in interest, or other related entity do not qualify for the 12-year exclusivity period. The law is complex and is still being interpreted and implemented by the FDA. As a result, its ultimate impact, implementation, and meaning are subject to uncertainty. While it is uncertain when such processes intended to implement the BPCIA may be fully adopted by the FDA, any such processes could have a material adverse effect on the future commercial prospects for its biological products.

However, there is also a risk that this exclusivity could be changed in the future. For example, this exclusivity could be shortened due to congressional action or through other actions, including future proposed budgets, international trade agreements and other arrangements or proposals. The extent to which a biosimilar, once approved, will be substituted for any one of its reference products in a way that is similar to traditional generic substitution for non-biological products is not yet clear, and will depend on a number of marketplace and regulatory factors that are still developing. It is also possible that payers will give reimbursement preference to biosimilars over reference biologics, even absent a determination of interchangeability.

To the extent that Gemini does not receive any anticipated periods of regulatory exclusivity for GEM103 and other product candidates or the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities approve any biosimilar, interchangeable, or other competing products to GEM103 and other product candidates, it could has a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, stock price and prospects.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

Gemini’s success depends upon its ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for its products and technologies. It is difficult and costly to protect its proprietary rights and technology, and Gemini may not be able to ensure their protection.

Gemini’s commercial success depends in part on its ability to obtain and maintain patent protection and trade secret protection for GEM103 and its other product candidates, proprietary patient screening technologies and their uses as well as Gemini’s ability to operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others. Gemini generally seeks to protect its proprietary position by filing patent applications in the United States and abroad related to its product candidates, proprietary technologies and their uses that are important to Gemini’s business. Gemini also seeks to protect its proprietary position by acquiring or in-licensing relevant issued patents or pending applications from third parties. Finally, Gemini maintains its non-patented, but proprietary technologies, as company trade secrets.

Pending patent applications cannot be enforced against third parties practicing the technology claimed in such applications unless, and until, patents issue from such applications, and then only to the extent the issued claims cover the technology. There can be no assurance that Gemini’s patent applications or the patent applications of Gemini’s licensors will result in patents being issued or that issued patents will afford sufficient protection against competitors with similar technology, nor can there be any assurance that the patents issued will not be infringed, designed around or invalidated by third parties.

Even issued patents may later be found invalid or unenforceable or may be modified or revoked in proceedings instituted by third parties before various patent offices or in courts. The degree of future protection for Gemini and Gemini licensors’ proprietary rights is uncertain. Only limited protection may be available and may not adequately protect Gemini’s rights or permit it to gain or keep any competitive advantage. These uncertainties and/or limitations in Gemini’s ability to properly protect the intellectual property rights relating to its product candidates could have a material adverse effect on Gemini’s financial condition and results of operations.

Gemini currently does not have any company-owned or in-licensed patents covering GEM103. Although Gemini is pursuing pending patent applications on GEM103, these applications may not issue as patents and as a result Gemini may not be able to prevent biosimilars to GEM103 from entering the market when the market exclusivity period has expired. Gemini cannot be certain that the claims in U.S. pending patent applications, corresponding international patent applications and patent applications in certain foreign territories, or those of our licensors, will be considered patentable by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), courts in the United States or by the patent offices and courts in foreign countries, nor can Gemini be certain that the claims in its issued patent or its licensor’s issued patents will not be found invalid or unenforceable if challenged.

The patent application process is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that Gemini or any of our potential future collaborators will be successful in protecting its product candidates by obtaining and defending patents. These risks and uncertainties include the following:

35

The patent prosecution process is also expensive and time-consuming, and Gemini or its licensors may not be able to file and prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner or in all jurisdictions where protection may be commercially advantageous. It is also possible that Gemini or its licensors will fail to identify patentable aspects of our research and development output before it is too late to obtain patent protection.

In addition, although Gemini enters into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with parties who have access to patentable aspects of our research and development output, such as our employees, outside scientific collaborators, CROs, third-party manufacturers, consultants, advisors and other third parties, any of these parties may breach such agreements and disclose such output before a patent application is filed, thereby jeopardizing our ability to seek patent protection.

Given the amount of time required for the development, testing and regulatory review of new product candidates, patents protecting such candidates might expire before or shortly after such candidates are commercialized. As a result, our intellectual property may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing products similar or identical to ours.

Gemini may be unable to obtain intellectual property rights or technology necessary to develop and commercialize its product candidates.

Several third parties are actively researching and seeking and obtaining patent protection in the AMD field, and there are issued third-party patents and published third-party patent applications in these fields. Although no third party has asserted a claim of patent infringement against us as of the date of this prospectus, a third party may hold proprietary rights that could prevent Gemini’s product candidates from being marketed. For example, Gemini is aware of an issued European patent expiring in 2026 that claims an isolated CFH polypeptide which could be alleged to cover GEM103. While Gemini believes that the expiration date of this patent will be prior to European launch of GEM103, there is a possibility that commercial manufacturing or product launch in Europe would predate the patent expiration. If commercial manufacturing or product launch in Europe predates the patent expiration, and in the event that this patent is successfully asserted against us, such litigation may negatively impact our ability to commercialize GEM103 in France, Germany, Ireland, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, Switzerland or the United Kingdom. Gemini may not be aware of all third-party intellectual property rights potentially relating to its product candidates and technologies.

Depending on what patent claims ultimately issue and how courts construe the issued patent claims, as well as depending on the ultimate formulation and method of use of its product candidates, Gemini may need to obtain a license under such patents. There can be no assurance that such licenses will be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If a third party does not offer us a necessary license or offers a license only on terms that are unattractive or unacceptable to us, Gemini might be unable to develop and commercialize one or more of its product candidates, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, even if Gemini obtains licenses to such intellectual property, but subsequently fail to meet its obligations under its license agreements, or such license agreements are terminated for any other reasons, Gemini may lose its rights to in-licensed technologies.

36

The licensing or acquisition of third-party intellectual property rights is a competitive area, and several more established companies may pursue strategies to license or acquire third-party intellectual property rights that Gemini may consider attractive or necessary. These established companies may have a competitive advantage over us due to their size, capital resources and greater clinical development and commercialization capabilities. In addition, companies that perceive us to be a competitor may be unwilling to assign or license rights to us. Gemini also may be unable to license or acquire third-party intellectual property rights on terms that would allow us to make an appropriate return on its investment, or at all. If Gemini is unable to successfully obtain rights to required third-party intellectual property rights or maintain the existing intellectual property rights Gemini has, Gemini may have to abandon development of the relevant program or product candidate, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

If Gemini fails to comply with its obligations under any license, collaboration or other agreements, including the license agreement with Sanquin Blood Supply Foundation related to anti-CFH agonistic antibodies, it may be required to pay damages and could lose intellectual property rights that are necessary for developing and protecting its product candidates.

Gemini is dependent on patents, know-how and proprietary technology in-licensed from Sanquin Blood Supply Foundation. Its commercial success depends upon its ability to develop, manufacture, market and sell its product candidates and use its and its licensor’s proprietary technologies without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. Sanquin Blood Supply Foundation may have the right to terminate the license agreement in full in the event Gemini materially breach or default in the performance of any of the obligations under the license agreement. A termination of the license agreement with Sanquin Blood Supply Foundation could result in the loss of significant rights and could harm its ability to commercialize its product candidates.

Disputes may also arise between Gemini and Sanquin Blood Supply Foundation, as well as any future potential licensors, regarding intellectual property subject to a license agreement, including:

If disputes over intellectual property that Gemini has licensed prevent or impair its ability to maintain its current licensing arrangements on acceptable terms, Gemini may be unable to successfully develop and commercialize the affected product candidates.

In addition, the Research Collaboration and License Agreement under which Gemini currently licenses intellectual property is complex, and certain provisions may be susceptible to multiple interpretations. The resolution of any contract interpretation disagreement that may arise could narrow what Gemini believes to be the scope of its rights to the relevant intellectual property, or increase what Gemini believes to be its financial or other obligations under the Research Collaboration and License Agreement, either of which could has a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. Moreover, if disputes over intellectual property that Gemini has licensed prevent or impair its ability to maintain its current licensing

37

arrangement on commercially acceptable terms, Gemini may be unable to successfully develop and commercialize the affected product candidates, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial conditions, results of operations, and prospects.

Gemini is generally also subject to all of the same risks with respect to protection of intellectual property that Gemini licenses, as Gemini is for intellectual property that Gemini owns, which are described below. If Gemini or its licensors fail to adequately protect this intellectual property, its ability to commercialize products could suffer.

Patent terms may be inadequate to protect its competitive position on its product candidates for an adequate amount of time.

Patents have a limited lifespan. In the United States, if all maintenance fees are timely paid, the natural expiration of a patent is generally 20 years from its earliest U.S. non-provisional filing date. Various extensions may be available, but the life of a patent, and the protection it affords, is limited. Even if patents covering its product candidates are obtained, once the patent life has expired, Gemini may be open to competition from competitive products. Given the amount of time required for the development, testing and regulatory review of new product candidates, patents protecting its product candidates might expire before or shortly after Gemini or its partners commercialize those candidates. As a result, its owned and licensed patent portfolio may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing products similar or identical to its products.

Gemini may not be able to protect its intellectual property rights throughout the world.

The legal protection afforded to inventors and owners of intellectual property in countries outside of the United States may not be as protective or effective as that in the United States and Gemini may, therefore, be unable to acquire and enforce intellectual property rights outside the United States to the same extent as in the United States. Whether filed in the United States or abroad, its patent applications may be challenged or may fail to result in issued patents.

Currently, Gemini does not own or have in-licensed issued patents covering GEM103. Any future patents Gemini obtains may not be sufficiently broad to prevent others from practicing its technologies or from developing or commercializing competing products. Furthermore, others may independently develop or commercialize similar or alternative technologies or drugs, or design around its patents. Its patents may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or narrowed, or fail to provide us with any competitive advantages. In many foreign countries, patent applications and/or issued patents, or parts thereof, must be translated into the native language. If its patent applications or issued patents are translated incorrectly, they may not adequately cover its technologies; in some countries, it may not be possible to rectify an incorrect translation, which may result in patent protection that does not adequately cover its technologies in those countries.

Filing, prosecuting, enforcing and defending patents on product candidates in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and its intellectual property rights in some countries outside the United States are less extensive than those in the United States. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and certain state laws in the United States. Consequently, Gemini and its licensor may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing its and its licensor’s inventions in all countries outside the United States, or from selling or importing products made using its and its licensor’s inventions in and into the United States or other jurisdictions. Competitors may use its and its licensor’s technologies in jurisdictions where Gemini has not obtained patent protection to develop their own products and, further, may export otherwise infringing products to territories where Gemini and its licensor have patent protection, but enforcement is not as strong as that in the United States. These products may compete with its product candidates its and its licensor’s patents or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing.

38

Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents and other intellectual property protection, particularly those relating to biotechnology. This could make it difficult for us and Gemini’s licensor to stop the infringement of its and its licensor’s patents or the marketing of competing products in violation of Gemini’s and its licensor’s proprietary rights, generally. Proceedings to enforce Gemini’s and its licensor’s patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert its and its licensor’s efforts and attention from other aspects of its business, could put Gemini’s and its licensor’s patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, could place Gemini’s and its licensor’s patent applications at risk of not issuing and could provoke third parties to assert claims against Gemini’s or its licensor. Gemini or its licensor may not prevail in any lawsuits that Gemini or its licensor initiates and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful.

The requirements for patentability differ in certain countries, particularly developing countries. For example, China has a heightened requirement for patentability and, specifically, requires a detailed description of medical uses of a claimed drug. In addition, India, certain countries in Europe and certain developing countries, including Thailand, have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third parties. In those countries, Gemini and its licensor may have limited remedies if patents are infringed or if Gemini or its licensor are compelled to grant a license to a third party, which could materially diminish the value of those patents. This could limit its potential revenue opportunities. In addition, many countries limit the enforceability of patents against government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, the patent owner may have limited remedies, which could materially diminish the value of such patent. Accordingly, Gemini and its licensor’s efforts to enforce intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that Gemini owns or licenses.

Obtaining and maintaining its patent protection depends on compliance with various procedural, document submission, fee payment and other requirements imposed by governmental patent agencies, and Gemini’s patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliance with these requirements.

Periodic maintenance and annuity fees on issued United States patents and most foreign patent applications and patents must be paid to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, and foreign patent agencies, respectively, in order to maintain such patents and patent applications. The USPTO and various foreign governmental patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other similar provisions during the patent application, examination and issuance processes. While an inadvertent lapse can, in some cases, be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules, there are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. Non-compliance events that could result in abandonment or lapse of a patent or patent application include failure to respond to official actions within prescribed time limits, non-payment of fees and failure to properly legalize and submit formal documents. If Gemini or its licensor fails to maintain the patents and patent applications covering its product candidates, its competitors might be able to enter the market with similar or identical products or technology, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Gemini may become involved in lawsuits or other proceedings to protect or enforce its intellectual property, which could be expensive, time-consuming and unsuccessful and have a material adverse effect on the success of its business.

Third parties may infringe Gemini’s or its licensor’s patents or misappropriate or otherwise violate its or its licensor’s intellectual property rights. In the future, Gemini or its licensor may initiate legal proceedings to enforce or defend Gemini’s or its licensor’s intellectual property rights, to protect its or its licensor’s trade secrets or to determine the validity or scope of intellectual property rights Gemini owns or controls. Also, third parties may initiate legal proceedings against Gemini or its licensor to challenge the validity or scope of intellectual

39

property rights Gemini owns, controls or to which Gemini has rights. For example, generic or biosimilar drug manufacturers or other competitors or third parties may challenge the scope, validity or enforceability of Gemini’s or its licensor’s patents, requiring Gemini or its licensor to engage in complex, lengthy and costly litigation or other proceedings. These proceedings can be expensive and time-consuming and many of its or its licensor’s adversaries in these proceedings may have the ability to dedicate substantially greater resources to prosecuting these legal actions than Gemini can. Moreover, the outcome following legal assertions of invalidity and unenforceability is unpredictable. Accordingly, despite Gemini’s or its licensor’s efforts, Gemini or its licensor may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating intellectual property rights Gemini owns, controls or has rights to, particularly in countries where the laws may not protect those rights as fully as in the United States. Litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of management resources, which could harm its business and financial results. In addition, if Gemini or its licensor initiated legal proceedings against a third party to enforce a patent covering a product candidate, the defendant could counterclaim that such patent is invalid or unenforceable. In patent litigation in the United States, defendant counterclaims alleging invalidity or unenforceability are commonplace. Grounds for a validity challenge could be an alleged failure to meet any of several statutory requirements, including lack of novelty, obviousness or non-enablement. Grounds for an unenforceability assertion could be an allegation that someone connected with prosecution of the patent withheld relevant information from the USPTO, or made a misleading statement, during prosecution. In an infringement or declaratory judgment proceeding, a court may decide that a patent owned by or licensed to us is invalid or unenforceable, or may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that Gemini’s or its licensor’s patents do not cover the technology in question. An adverse result in any litigation proceeding could put one or more of Gemini’s or its licensor’s patents at risk of being invalidated, narrowed, held unenforceable or interpreted in such a manner that would not preclude third parties from entering the market with competing products.

Third-party pre-issuance submission of prior art to the USPTO, or opposition, derivation, revocation reexamination, or inter partes review, or other pre-issuance or post-grant proceedings or other patent office proceedings or litigation in the United States or other jurisdictions provoked by third parties or brought by Gemini or its licensor, may be necessary to determine the inventorship, priority, patentability or validity of inventions with respect to Gemini’s or its licensor’s patents or patent applications. An unfavorable outcome could leave its technology or product candidates without patent protection, allow third parties to commercialize its technology or product candidates and compete directly with us, without payment to us, or could require Gemini or its licensor to obtain license rights from the prevailing party in order to be able to manufacture or commercialize its product candidates without infringing third-party patent rights. Its business could be harmed if the prevailing party does not offer Gemini or its licensor a license on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Even if Gemini or its licensor obtains a license, it may be non-exclusive, thereby giving its competitors access to the same technologies licensed to Gemini or its licensor. In addition, if the breadth or strength of protection provided by Gemini’s or its licensor’s patents and patent applications is threatened, it could dissuade companies from collaborating with us to license, develop or commercialize product candidates. Even if Gemini successfully defends such litigation or proceeding, Gemini may incur substantial costs and it may distract its management and other employees. In addition, the uncertainties associated with litigation could have a material adverse effect on its ability to raise the funds necessary to continue its clinical trials, continue its research programs, license necessary technology from third parties, or enter into collaborations.

Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of its confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. In addition, many foreign jurisdictions have rules of discovery that are different than those in the United States and which may make defending or enforcing its or its licensor’s patents extremely difficult. There could also be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a material adverse effect on the price of shares of our Common Stock.

Third parties may initiate legal proceedings against Gemini alleging that Gemini infringes their intellectual property rights or Gemini may initiate legal proceedings against third parties to challenge the validity or scope of intellectual property rights controlled by third parties, the outcome of which would be uncertain and could have a material adverse effect on the success of its business.

Gemini’s commercial success depends upon its ability to develop, manufacture, market and sell any product candidates that Gemini may develop and use its proprietary technologies without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property and proprietary rights of third parties. The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are characterized by extensive litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. Third parties may initiate legal proceedings against Gemini or its licensor alleging that Gemini or its licensor infringes their intellectual property rights or Gemini or its licensor may initiate legal proceedings against third parties to challenge the validity or scope of intellectual property rights controlled by third parties, including in oppositions, revocations, reexaminations, inter partes review or derivation proceedings before the USPTO or its counterparts in other jurisdictions. These proceedings can be expensive and time-consuming and many of its or its licensor’s adversaries in these proceedings may have the ability to dedicate substantially greater resources to prosecuting these legal actions than Gemini or its licensor can.

An unfavorable outcome in any such proceeding could require Gemini or its licensor to cease using the related technology or developing or commercializing its product candidates, or to attempt to license rights to it from the prevailing party, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

Gemini could be found liable for monetary damages, including treble damages and attorneys’ fees, if Gemini is found to have willfully infringed a patent. A finding of infringement could prevent us from commercializing its product candidates or force us to cease some of its business operations, which could materially harm its business.

Gemini performs searches of patent and scientific databases in order to identify documents that may be of potential relevance to the freedom-to-operate and/or patentability of its product candidates. In general, such searches are conducted based on keywords, sequences, inventors/authors and assignees/entities to capture U.S. and European patents and patent applications, PCT publications and scientific journal articles.

The patent landscape around its GEM103 product candidate is complex, and Gemini may not be aware of all third-party intellectual property rights potentially relating to its product candidates and technologies. Although no third party has asserted a claim of patent infringement against us as of the date of this prospectus, a third party may hold proprietary rights that could prevent Gemini’s product candidates from being marketed. For example, Gemini is aware of an issued European patent expiring in 2026 that claims an isolated CFH polypeptide which could be alleged to cover GEM103. While Gemini believes that the expiration date of this patent will be prior to European launch of GEM103, there is a possibility that commercial manufacturing or product launch in Europe would predate the patent expiration. If commercial manufacturing or product launch in Europe predates the patent expiration, and in the event that this patent is successfully asserted against us, such litigation may negatively impact our ability to commercialize GEM103 in France, Germany, Ireland, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, Switzerland or the United Kingdom. Moreover, it is possible that Gemini is or may become aware of patents or pending patent applications that Gemini thinks do not relate to its product candidates or that Gemini believes are invalid or unenforceable, but that may nevertheless be interpreted to encompass its product candidates and to be valid and enforceable. As to pending third-party applications, Gemini cannot predict with any certainty which claims will issue, if any, or the scope of such issued claims. If any third party intellectual property claims are asserted against us, even if Gemini believes the claims are without merit, there is no assurance that a court would find in its favor, e.g., on questions of infringement, validity, enforceability or priority. A court of competent jurisdiction could hold that these third-party patents are valid, enforceable and infringed, which could materially and adversely affect Gemini’s ability and the ability of its licensor to commercialize any product candidates Gemini may develop and any other product candidates or technologies covered by the asserted third-party patents. In order to successfully challenge the validity of any such U.S. patent in federal court, Gemini would need to overcome a presumption of validity. As this burden is a high one

41

requiring us to present clear and convincing evidence as to the invalidity of any such U.S. patent claim, there is no assurance that a court of competent jurisdiction would invalidate the claims of any such U.S. patent. If any such third-party patents (including those that may issue from such applications) were successfully asserted against Gemini or its licensor or other commercialization partners and Gemini were unable to successfully challenge the validity or enforceability of any such asserted patents, then Gemini or its licensor and other commercialization partners may be prevented from commercializing its product candidates, or may be required to pay significant damages, including treble damages and attorneys’ fees if Gemini is found to willfully infringe the asserted patents, or obtain a license to such patents, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Even if Gemini were able to obtain a license, it could be non-exclusive, thereby giving its competitors and other third parties access to the same technologies licensed to us, and it could require us to make substantial licensing and royalty payments. Defense of these claims, regardless of their merit, would involve substantial litigation expense and would be a substantial diversion of employee resources from its business. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation or administrative proceedings, there is a risk that some of its confidential information could be compromised by disclosure. In addition, any uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could have a material adverse effect on its ability to raise additional funds or otherwise have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Any of the foregoing would have a material adverse effect on Gemini’s business, financial condition and operating results.

Gemini may be subject to claims by third parties asserting that its employees or Gemini has misappropriated a third party’s intellectual property, or claiming ownership of what Gemini regards as its own intellectual property.

Many of Gemini’s employees, including its senior management, were previously employed at other biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies, including its competitors or potential competitors. Some of these employees executed proprietary rights, non-disclosure and non-competition agreements in connection with such previous employment. Gemini may be subject to claims that Gemini or these employees have used or disclosed confidential information or intellectual property, including trade secrets or other proprietary information, of any such employee’s former employer, or that third parties have an interest in its patents as an inventor or co-inventor. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. If Gemini fails in prosecuting or defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, Gemini may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel or sustain other damages. Such intellectual property rights could be awarded to a third party, and Gemini could be required to obtain a license from such third party to commercialize its technology or products. Such a license may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Even if Gemini successfully prosecutes or defends against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and distract management.

In addition, while it is Gemini’s policy to require its employees and contractors who may be involved in the conception or development of intellectual property to execute agreements assigning such intellectual property to us, Gemini may be unsuccessful in executing such an agreement with each party who, in fact, conceives or develops intellectual property that Gemini regards as its own. The assignment of intellectual property rights may not be self-executing, or the assignment agreements may be breached, and Gemini may be forced to bring claims against third parties, or defend claims that they may bring against us, to determine the ownership of what Gemini regards as its intellectual property. Such claims could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Gemini’s inability to protect its confidential information and trade secrets would harm its business and competitive position.

In addition to seeking patents for some of its technology and products, in its activities Gemini also relies substantially on trade secrets, including unpatented know-how, technology and other proprietary materials and information, to maintain its competitive position. Gemini seeks to protect these trade secrets, in part, by entering

42

into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with parties who have access to them, such as its employees, corporate collaborators, outside scientific collaborators, contract manufacturers, consultants, advisors and other third parties. Gemini also enters into confidentiality and invention or patent assignment agreements with its employees and consultants. However, these steps may be inadequate, Gemini may fail to enter into agreements with all such parties or any of these parties may breach the agreements and disclose its proprietary information, and there may be no adequate remedy available for such breach of an agreement. Gemini cannot assure you that its proprietary information will not be disclosed or that Gemini can meaningfully protect its trade secrets. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, some courts both within and outside the United States may be less willing, or unwilling, to protect trade secrets. If a competitor lawfully obtained or independently developed any of its trade secrets, Gemini would have no right to prevent such competitor from using that technology or information to compete with us, which could harm its competitive position.

Intellectual property rights do not necessarily address all potential threats.

The degree of future protection afforded by its intellectual property rights is uncertain because intellectual property rights have limitations and may not adequately protect Gemini’s business or permit Gemini to maintain our competitive advantage. For example:

Should any of these events occur, they could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Patents that ultimately issue that cover its product candidates could be found invalid or unenforceable if challenged in court or the USPTO.

If Gemini or its licensing partner initiate legal proceedings against a third party to enforce a patent, if obtained, covering its product candidates, the defendant could counterclaim that the patent covering its product candidates,

43

as applicable, is invalid and/or unenforceable. In patent litigation in the United States, defendant counterclaims alleging invalidity and/or unenforceability are commonplace, and there are numerous grounds upon which a third party can assert invalidity or unenforceability of a patent. Third parties may also raise similar claims before administrative bodies in the United States or abroad, even outside the context of litigation. These types of mechanisms include inter partes review, post grant review, and equivalent proceedings in foreign jurisdictions (e.g., opposition proceedings). These types of proceedings could result in revocation or amendment to its patents such that they no longer cover its product candidates. The outcome for any particular patent following legal assertions of invalidity and unenforceability is unpredictable. With respect to the validity question, for example, Gemini cannot be certain that there is no invalidating prior art, of which Gemini, its patent counsel and the patent examiner were unaware during prosecution. If a defendant were to prevail on a legal assertion of invalidity and/or unenforceability, or if Gemini is otherwise unable to adequately protect its rights, Gemini would lose at least part, and perhaps all, of the patent protection on its product candidates. A loss of patent protection for its product candidates could have a material adverse impact on its ability to commercialize or license its technology and product candidates and, resultantly, on its business, financial condition, prospects and results of operations.

Changes in patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing its ability to protect its product candidates.

As is the case with other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, Gemini’s success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly patents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the biotechnology industry involves technological and legal complexity, and obtaining and enforcing biotechnology patents is costly, time-consuming and inherently uncertain. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on several patent cases in recent years, either narrowing the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances, weakening the rights of patent owners in certain situations or ruling that certain subject matter is not eligible for patent protection. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to its and its licensor’s ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents, once obtained. Depending on decisions by Congress, the federal courts, the USPTO and equivalent bodies in foreign jurisdictions, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that would weaken its and its licensor’s ability to obtain new patents or to enforce existing patents and patents Gemini and its licensor may obtain in the future.

Patent reform laws, such as the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, or the Leahy-Smith Act, as well as changes in how patent laws are interpreted, could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of its and its licensor’s patent applications and the enforcement or defense of its or its licensor’s issued patents. The Leahy-Smith Act includes a number of significant changes to U.S. patent law. These include provisions that affect the filing and prosecution strategies associated with patent applications, including a change from a “first-to-invent” to a “first-inventor-to-file” patent system, and may also affect patent prosecution and litigation, such as by allowing third-party submission of prior art to the USPTO during patent prosecution and additional procedures to attack the validity of a patent by USPTO-administered post-grant proceedings, including post-grant review, inter partes review and derivation proceedings. The USPTO has developed regulations and procedures to govern administration of the Leahy-Smith Act, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated with the Leahy-Smith Act and, in particular, the “first-inventor-to-file” provisions, became effective in 2013. Accordingly, it is not clear what, if any, impact the Leahy-Smith Act will has on the operation of its business. However, the Leahy-Smith Act and its implementation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of its or its licensor’s patent applications and the enforcement or defense of its or its licensor’s issued patents, all of which could has a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Reliance on Third Parties

Gemini will rely on third parties to conduct its clinical trials. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or meet expected deadlines or comply with regulatory requirements, Gemini may not be able to obtain regulatory approval of or commercialize any potential product candidates.

Gemini will depend upon third parties, including independent investigators, to conduct its clinical trials under agreements with universities, medical institutions, CROs, strategic partners and others. Gemini expects to have to negotiate budgets and contracts with CROs and trial sites, which may result in delays to its development timelines and increased costs.

Gemini will rely heavily on third parties over the course of its clinical trials, and, as a result, will have limited control over the clinical investigators and limited visibility into their day-to-day activities, including with respect to their compliance with the approved clinical protocol. Nevertheless, its reliance on third parties does not relieve Gemini of its regulatory responsibilities and it will be responsible for ensuring that each of its trials is conducted in accordance with the applicable protocol, legal and regulatory requirements and scientific standards. Gemini and these third parties are required to comply with good clinical practice, or GCP, requirements, which are regulations and guidelines enforced by the FDA and applicable foreign regulatory authorities for product candidates in clinical development. Regulatory authorities enforce these GCP requirements through periodic inspections of trial sponsors, clinical investigators and trial sites. If Gemini or any of these third parties fail to comply with applicable GCP requirements, the clinical data generated in its clinical trials may be deemed unreliable and the FDA or applicable foreign regulatory authorities may require us to suspend or terminate these trials or perform additional nonclinical studies or clinical trials before approving its marketing applications. Gemini cannot be certain that, upon inspection, regulatory authorities will determine that any of its clinical trials comply with the GCP requirements. In addition, its clinical trials must be conducted with products produced under cGMP requirements and may require a large number of patients. Its failure or any failure by these third parties to comply with these applicable regulations or to recruit a sufficient number of patients may require us to repeat clinical trials, which would delay the regulatory approval process. Moreover, its business may be implicated if any of these third parties violates federal or state fraud and abuse or false claims laws and regulations or healthcare privacy and security laws.

The third parties who may conduct its future clinical trials will not be its employees and, except for remedies that may be available to us under its agreements with those third parties, Gemini cannot control whether or not they devote sufficient time and resources to its ongoing nonclinical and clinical programs. These third parties may also have relationships with other commercial entities, including Gemini’s competitors, for whom they may also be conducting clinical trials or other product development activities, which could affect their performance on its behalf. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or obligations or meet expected deadlines, if they need to be replaced or if the quality or accuracy of the clinical data they obtain is compromised due to the failure to adhere to its clinical protocols or regulatory requirements or for other reasons, its clinical trials may be extended, delayed or terminated and Gemini may not be able to complete development of, obtain regulatory approval of or successfully commercialize its product candidates in a timely manner or at all. As a result, its financial results and the commercial prospects for its product candidates would be harmed, its costs could increase and its ability to generate revenue could be delayed.

If any of its relationships with these third-party CROs or others terminate, Gemini may not be able to enter into arrangements with alternative CROs or other third parties or to do so on commercially reasonable terms. Switching or adding additional CROs involves additional cost and requires management time and focus. In addition, there is a natural transition period when a new CRO begins work. As a result, delays may occur, which can materially impact its ability to meet its desired clinical development timelines. Though Gemini carefully manages its relationships with its CROs, there can be no assurance that Gemini will not encounter similar challenges or delays in the future or that these delays or challenges will not have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition and prospects.

45

If CROs do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or obligations or meet expected deadlines or if the quality or accuracy of the clinical data they obtain is compromised due to the failure (including by clinical sites or investigators) to adhere to its clinical protocols, regulatory requirements or for other reasons, its clinical trials may be extended, delayed or terminated and Gemini may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or successfully commercialize its product candidates. As a result, its results of operations and the commercial prospects for its product candidates would be harmed, its costs could increase substantially and its ability to generate revenues could be delayed significantly.

Gemini contracts with third parties for the manufacture of its product candidates for nonclinical testing and expects to continue to do so for clinical trials and for commercialization. This reliance on third parties increases the risk that Gemini will not have sufficient quantities of its product candidates or products, if approved, or that such supply will not be available to us at an acceptable cost, which could delay, prevent or impair its development or commercialization efforts.

Gemini does not have any manufacturing facilities. Gemini currently relies, and expects to continue to rely, on third-party manufacturers for the manufacture of its product candidates for nonclinical and clinical testing and for commercial supply of any of these product candidates for which Gemini obtains marketing approval. Reliance on third-party manufacturers may expose us to different risks than if Gemini were to manufacture product candidates itself. Any disruption in supply from any supplier or manufacturing location, including on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, could lead to supply delays or interruptions which would damage its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. To the extent any issues arise with its third-party manufacturers, Gemini may be unable to establish any agreements with any other third-party manufacturers or to do so on acceptable terms. Even if Gemini is able to establish agreements with third-party manufacturers, reliance on third-party manufacturers entails additional risks, including:

Third-party manufacturers may not be able to comply with cGMP regulations or applicable foreign regulatory requirements. Its failure, or the failure of third-party manufacturers, to comply with applicable regulations could result in sanctions being imposed on us, including fines, injunctions, civil penalties, delays, suspension or withdrawal of approvals, license revocation, seizures or recalls of product candidates or medicines, operating restrictions and criminal prosecutions, any of which could significantly and adversely affect supplies of its product candidates and harm its business and results of operations.

Any product candidates that Gemini may develop may compete with other product candidates and products for access to manufacturing facilities. There are a limited number of manufacturers that operate under cGMP regulations and that might be capable of manufacturing for us.

Any performance failure on the part of its existing or future manufacturers could delay clinical development or marketing approval. Gemini does not currently have arrangements in place for redundant supply for bulk drug substances. If any one of its current contract manufacturers cannot perform as agreed, Gemini may be required to replace that manufacturer. Although Gemini believes that there are several potential alternative manufacturers who could manufacture its product candidates, Gemini may incur added costs and delays in identifying and qualifying any such replacement.

Its current and anticipated future dependence upon others for the manufacture of its product candidates may adversely affect its future profit margins and its ability to commercialize any product candidates that receive marketing approval on a timely and competitive basis.

46

The manufacture of Gemini’s product candidates is complex and Gemini may encounter difficulties in production. If Gemini or any of its third-party manufacturers encounter such difficulties, or fails to meet rigorously enforced regulatory standards, its ability to provide supply of its product candidates for clinical trials or its products for patients, if approved, could be delayed or stopped, or Gemini may be unable to maintain a commercially viable cost structure.

The processes involved in manufacturing its product candidates are complex, expensive, highly-regulated, and subject to multiple risks. Further, as product candidates are developed through nonclinical studies to late-stage clinical trials towards approval and commercialization, it is common that various aspects of the development program, such as manufacturing methods, are altered along the way in an effort to optimize processes and results. Such changes carry the risk that they will not achieve these intended objectives, and any of these changes could cause its product candidates to perform differently and affect the results of planned clinical trials or other future clinical trials.

In addition, the manufacturing process for any products that Gemini may develop is subject to FDA and other applicable foreign regulatory authority approval processes and continuous oversight, and Gemini will need to contract with manufacturers who can meet all applicable FDA and applicable foreign regulatory authority requirements, including, for example, complying with cGMPs, on an ongoing basis. If Gemini or its third-party manufacturers are unable to reliably produce products to specifications acceptable to the FDA or other regulatory authorities, Gemini may not obtain or maintain the approvals Gemini needs to commercialize such products. Even if Gemini obtains regulatory approval for any of its product candidates, there is no assurance that either Gemini or its contract manufacturers will be able to manufacture the approved product to specifications acceptable to the FDA or other regulatory authorities, to produce it in sufficient quantities to meet the requirements for the potential launch of the product, or to meet potential future demand. Any of these challenges could delay completion of clinical trials, require bridging or comparability nonclinical or clinical trials or the repetition of one or more clinical trials, increase clinical study costs, delay approval of its product candidates, impair commercialization efforts, increase its cost of goods, and has an adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.

Gemini may seek to establish collaborations, and, if Gemini is not able to establish them on commercially reasonable terms, Gemini may have to alter its development and commercialization plans.

Gemini may pursue collaborations in order to develop and commercialize GEM103 and other product candidates. Gemini face significant competition in seeking appropriate collaborators. Whether Gemini reaches a definitive agreement for a collaboration will depend, among other things, upon its assessment of the collaborator’s resources and expertise, the terms and conditions of the proposed collaboration and the proposed collaborator’s evaluation of a number of factors. Those factors may include the design or results of clinical trials, the likelihood of approval by the FDA or applicable foreign regulatory authorities, the potential market for the subject product candidate, the costs and complexities of manufacturing and delivering such product candidate to patients, the potential of competing products and the existence of uncertainty with respect to its ownership of technology, which can exist if there is a challenge to such ownership without regard to the merits of the challenge and industry and market conditions generally. The collaborators may also consider alternative product candidates or technologies for similar indications that may be available to collaborate on and whether such a collaboration could be more attractive than the one with us for its product candidates.

Collaborations are complex and time-consuming to negotiate and document. In addition, there have been a significant number of business combinations among large pharmaceutical companies that have resulted in a reduced number of potential future collaborators.

Gemini may not be able to negotiate collaborations on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. If Gemini is unable to do so, Gemini may have to curtail the development of the product candidate for which Gemini is seeking to collaborate, reduce or delay its development program or one or more of its other development

47

programs, delay its potential commercialization or reduce the scope of any sales or marketing activities or increase its expenditures and undertake development or commercialization activities at its own expense. If Gemini elects to increase its expenditures to fund development or commercialization activities on its own, Gemini may need to obtain additional capital, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If Gemini does not have sufficient funds, Gemini may not be able to further develop its product candidates or bring them to market and generate product revenue.

Risks Related to Commercialization

Even if Gemini commercializes its product candidates, these products may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, third-party reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives, which could harm its business.

The regulations that govern marketing approvals, pricing and reimbursement for new drugs and biologics vary widely from country to country. Current and future legislation may significantly change the approval requirements in ways that could involve additional costs and cause delays in obtaining approvals. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a product before it can be marketed. In many countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some foreign markets, prescription pharmaceutical pricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, Gemini might obtain marketing approval for a product in a particular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay or limit its commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which could negatively impact the revenue Gemini generates from the sale of the product in that particular country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder its ability to recoup its investment in one or more product candidates, even if its product candidates obtain marketing approval.

Its ability to commercialize any products successfully also will depend in part on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement for these products and related treatments will be available from third-party payors such as government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. Third-party payors determine which medications they will cover and establish reimbursement levels. Third-party payors have attempted to control costs by limiting coverage and the amount of reimbursement for particular medications. Increasingly, third-party payors are requiring that drug companies provide them with predetermined discounts from list prices and are challenging the prices charged for medical products. Gemini cannot be sure that coverage and reimbursement will be available for any product that Gemini commercializes and, if reimbursement is available, what the level of reimbursement will be. Coverage and reimbursement may impact the demand for, or the price of, any product candidate for which Gemini obtains marketing approval, if any. If coverage and reimbursement are not available or reimbursement is available only to limited levels, Gemini may not be able to successfully commercialize any product candidate for which marketing approval is obtained, if any.

There may be significant delays in obtaining coverage and reimbursement for newly approved drugs and biologics, and coverage may be more limited than the purposes for which the product is approved by the FDA or applicable foreign regulatory authorities. Moreover, eligibility for coverage and reimbursement does not imply that a drug will be paid for in all cases or at a rate that covers its costs, including research, development, manufacture, sale and distribution. Interim reimbursement levels for new drugs and biologics, if applicable, may also not be sufficient to cover its costs and may only be temporary. Reimbursement rates may vary according to the use of the product and the clinical setting in which it is used, may be based on reimbursement levels already set for lower cost products and may be incorporated into existing payments for other services. Net prices for products may be reduced by mandatory discounts or rebates required by government healthcare programs or private payors and by any future relaxation of laws that presently restrict imports of drugs and biologics from countries where they may be sold at lower prices than in the United States. Its inability to promptly obtain coverage and profitable reimbursement rates third-party payors for any approved products that Gemini develops could have a material adverse effect on its operating results, its ability to raise capital needed to commercialize products and its overall financial condition.

48

If, in the future, Gemini is unable to establish sales and marketing capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to sell and market any product candidates Gemini may develop, Gemini may not be successful in commercializing those product candidates if and when they are approved.

Gemini does not currently have an infrastructure for the sales, marketing, and distribution of pharmaceutical products. In order to market its product candidates, if approved by the FDA or any other regulatory body, Gemini must build its sales, marketing, managerial, and other non-technical capabilities, or make arrangements with third parties to perform these services. There are risks involved with both establishing its own commercial capabilities and entering into arrangements with third parties to perform these services. For example, recruiting and training a sales force or reimbursement specialists is expensive and time-consuming and could delay any product launch. If the commercial launch of a product candidate for which Gemini recruits a sales force and establishes marketing and other commercialization capabilities is delayed or does not occur for any reason, Gemini would have prematurely or unnecessarily incurred these commercialization expenses. This may be costly, and its investment would be lost if Gemini cannot retain or reposition its commercialization personnel.

If Gemini enter into arrangements with third parties to perform sales, marketing, commercial support, and distribution services, its product revenue or the profitability of product revenue may be lower than if Gemini were to market and sell any products Gemini may develop itself. In addition, Gemini may not be successful in entering into arrangements with third parties to commercialize its product candidates or may be unable to do so on terms that are favorable to us. Gemini may have little control over such third parties, and any of them may fail to devote the necessary resources and attention to sell and market its products effectively and they could expose its company to regulatory enforcement and legal risk in the execution of their sales and commercialization activities. If Gemini does not establish commercialization capabilities successfully, either on its own or in collaboration with third parties, Gemini will not be successful in commercializing its product candidates if approved.

If Gemini is unable to establish adequate sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities, whether independently or with third parties, or if Gemini is unable to do so on commercially reasonable terms, its business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects will be materially adversely affected.

Gemini’s product candidates may not achieve adequate market acceptance among physicians, patients, third-party payors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success.

Even if Gemini’s product candidates receive regulatory approval, they may not gain adequate market acceptance among physicians, patients, third-party payors, pharmaceutical companies and others in the medical community. Demonstrating the safety and efficacy of its product candidates and obtaining regulatory approvals will not guarantee future revenue. Its commercial success also depends on coverage and adequate reimbursement of its product candidates by third-party payors, including government payors and private insurers, which may be difficult or time-consuming to obtain, may be limited in scope and may not be obtained in all jurisdictions in which Gemini may seek to market its products. Third-party payors closely examine medical products to determine whether they should be covered by reimbursement and, if so, the level of reimbursement that will apply. Gemini cannot be certain that third-party payors will sufficiently reimburse sales of its product, or enable us to sell its product at a profitable price. Similar concerns could also limit the reimbursement amounts that health insurers or government agencies in other countries are prepared to pay for its products. In many regions outside the United States where Gemini may pursue regulatory approvals and market its products, the pricing of prescription drugs is controlled by the government or regulatory agencies.

Regulatory agencies in these countries could determine that the pricing for its products should be based on prices of other commercially available products for the same disease, rather than allowing Gemini to market its products at a premium as new drugs. The degree of market acceptance of any of its approved product candidates will depend on a number of factors, including:

49

Sales of medical products also depend on the willingness of physicians to prescribe the treatment, which is likely to be based on a determination by these physicians that the products are safe, therapeutically effective and cost effective. In addition, the inclusion or exclusion of products from treatment guidelines established by various physician groups and the viewpoints of influential physicians can affect the willingness of other physicians to prescribe the treatment. Gemini cannot predict whether physicians, physicians’ organizations, hospitals, other healthcare providers, government agencies or private insurers will determine that its product is safe, therapeutically effective and cost effective as compared with competing treatments. If any product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of acceptance by such parties, Gemini may not generate or derive sufficient revenue from that product candidate and may not become or remain profitable.

Product liability lawsuits against Gemini could cause it to incur substantial liabilities and to limit commercialization of any products that Gemini may develop and insurance coverage may not be adequate.

Gemini faces an inherent risk of product liability exposure related to the testing of its product candidates in human clinical trials and will face an even greater risk if Gemini commercialize any resulting products. Product liability claims may be brought against us by subjects enrolled in its clinical trials, patients, their family members, healthcare providers or others using, administering or selling its products. If Gemini cannot successfully defend itself against claims that its product candidates or products that Gemini may develop caused injuries, Gemini could incur substantial liabilities. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:

50

Its clinical trial liability insurance coverage may not adequately cover all liabilities that Gemini may incur. Gemini may not be able to maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or in an amount adequate to satisfy any liability that may arise. Its inability to obtain product liability insurance at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or delay the commercialization of any products or product candidates that Gemini develop. Gemini intend to expand its insurance coverage for products to include the sale of commercial products if Gemini obtains marketing approval for its product candidates in development, but Gemini may be unable to obtain commercially reasonable product liability insurance for any products approved for marketing. Large judgments have been awarded in lawsuits based on drugs that had unanticipated side effects. If Gemini is sued for any injury caused by its products, product candidates or processes, its liability could exceed its product liability insurance coverage and its total assets. Claims against us, regardless of their merit or potential outcome, may also generate negative publicity or hurt our ability to obtain physician adoption of its product or expand its business.

Risks Related to Our Stock

An active trading market for our common stock may never develop or be sustained, which may make it difficult to sell the shares of our common stock you purchase.

An active trading market for our common stock may not develop or continue or, if developed, may not be sustained, which would make it difficult for you to sell your shares of our common stock at an attractive price (or at all). The market price of our common stock may decline below your purchase price, and you may not be able to sell your shares of our common stock at or above the price you paid for such shares (or at all).

There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.

If Nasdaq delists our shares of common stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet Nasdaq’s listing standards, we and our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

The price of our common stock may be volatile.

The price of our common stock may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including:

51

These market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of our common stock regardless of our operating performance.

Reports published by analysts, including projections in those reports that differ from our actual results, could adversely affect the price and trading volume of our common stock.

Securities research analysts may establish and publish their own periodic projections for Gemini. These projections may vary widely and may not accurately predict the results we actually achieve. Our share price may decline if our actual results do not match the projections of these securities research analysts. Similarly, if one or more of the analysts who write reports on us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, our share price or trading volume could decline.

The future sales of shares by existing stockholders and future exercise of registration rights may adversely affect the market price of Gemini’s Common Stock.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of Gemini’s Common Stock in the public market could occur at any time. If Gemini’s stockholders sell, or the market perceives that Gemini’s stockholders intend to sell, substantial amounts of Gemini’s Common Stock in the public market, the market price of Gemini’s Common Stock could decline.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement entered into in connection with the Business Combination, certain stockholders of FSDC and Old Gemini can each demand that Gemini register their registrable securities under certain circumstances and each also have piggyback registration rights for these securities. The registration of these securities permit the public sale of such securities, subject to certain contractual restrictions imposed by the Registration Rights Agreement and the Merger Agreement. The presence of these additional shares of Common Stock trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of Gemini’s securities.

Our issuance of additional capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our stock incentive plans or otherwise will dilute all other stockholders.

We expect to issue additional capital stock in the future that will result in dilution to all other stockholders. We expect to grant equity awards to employees, directors, and consultants under our stock incentive plans. We may also raise capital through equity financings in the future. As part of our business strategy, we may acquire or make investments in complementary companies, products, or technologies and issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition or investment. Any such issuances of additional capital stock may cause stockholders to experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per share value of our common stock to decline.

52

Because we have no current plans to pay cash dividends on our common stock, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.

We have no current plans to pay cash dividends on our common stock. The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors. Our board of directors may take into account general and economic conditions, our financial condition and operating results, our available cash, current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions, implications on the payment of dividends by us to our stockholders or by our subsidiary to us and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, the terms of our existing financing arrangements restrict or limit our ability to pay cash dividends. Accordingly, we may not pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Future offerings of debt or equity securities by us may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

In the future, we may attempt to obtain financing or to further increase our capital resources by issuing additional shares of our common stock or offering debt or other equity securities, including commercial paper, medium-term notes, senior or subordinated notes, debt securities convertible into equity or shares of preferred stock. Future acquisitions could require substantial additional capital in excess of cash from operations. We would expect to obtain the capital required for acquisitions through a combination of additional issuances of equity, corporate indebtedness and/or cash from operations.

Issuing additional shares of our common stock or other equity securities or securities convertible into equity may dilute the economic and voting rights of our existing stockholders or reduce the market price of our common stock or both. Upon liquidation, holders of such debt securities and preferred shares, if issued, and lenders with respect to other borrowings would receive a distribution of our available assets prior to the holders of our common stock. Debt securities convertible into equity could be subject to adjustments in the conversion ratio pursuant to which certain events may increase the number of equity securities issuable upon conversion. Preferred shares, if issued, could have a preference with respect to liquidating distributions or a preference with respect to dividend payments that could limit our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our common stock. Our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, which may adversely affect the amount, timing and nature of our future offerings.

Gemini expects to incur significant additional costs as a result of being a public company, which may adversely affect its operating results and financial condition.

Gemini expects to incur costs associated with corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules implemented by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the Dodd-Frank Act, the SEC and Nasdaq. Its management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, Gemini expects these rules and regulations are expected to increase its accounting, legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, Gemini will incur additional costs associated with its public company reporting requirements and Gemini expects those costs to increase in the future. For example, Gemini will be required to devote significant resources to complete the assessment and documentation of its internal control system and financial process under Section 404, including an assessment of the design of its information systems associated with its internal controls.

To date, Gemini has not conducted a review of its internal control for the purpose of providing the reports required by these rules. During its review and testing, Gemini may identify deficiencies and be unable to remediate them before Gemini must provide the required reports. Furthermore, if Gemini fails to remediate its existing material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting or if new material weaknesses are identified or arise in the future, Gemini may not detect errors on a timely basis and its financial statements may be materially misstated. Gemini or its independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to conclude

53

on an ongoing basis that Gemini has effective internal control over financial reporting, which could harm its operating results, cause investors to lose confidence in its reported financial information and cause the trading price of its stock to fall. In addition, as a public company Gemini will be required to timely file accurate quarterly and annual reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act. Any failure to report its financial results on an accurate and timely basis could result in sanctions, lawsuits, delisting of its shares from Nasdaq or other adverse consequences. Gemini will incur significant costs to remediate any material weaknesses Gemini identifies through these efforts. The increased costs will increase its net loss and may require us to reduce costs in other areas of its business or increase the prices of its products or services. Gemini also expects these rules and regulations to make it more expensive for us to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and Gemini may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for Gemini to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on its board of directors, its board committees, or as executive officers. Gemini cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs Gemini may incur or the timing of such costs.

New laws and regulations, as well as changes to existing laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act and rules adopted by the SEC and Nasdaq, would likely result in increased costs as Gemini responds to their requirements, which may adversely affect its operating results and financial condition.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in the Charter and the Bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.

The Charter contains provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that stockholders may consider to be in their best interests. Gemini is also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law, which could discourage, delay, defer or prevent a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other change of control transaction that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by Gemini’s stockholders. These provisions provide for, among other things:

These anti-takeover provisions as well as certain provisions of Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire Gemini, even if the third party’s offer may be considered beneficial by many of Gemini’s stockholders. As a result, Gemini’s stockholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares. If prospective takeovers are not consummated for any reason, Gemini may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on the price of Gemini Common Stock. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for Gemini’s stockholders to elect directors of their choosing and to cause Gemini to take other corporate actions that Gemini’s stockholders desire.

54

The Bylaws provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the District of Massachusetts will be the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between Gemini and its stockholders, which could limit Gemini’s stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with Gemini or its directors, officers, or employees.

The By-laws provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for:

This exclusive-forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the Securities Act. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all such Securities Act actions. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such claims. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, the By-laws provides that the federal district courts of the District of Massachusetts will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.

These exclusive-forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with Gemini or its directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against Gemini and its directors, officers, and other employees. If a court were to find either exclusive-forum provision in the By-laws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, it may incur additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, which could harm Gemini’s business.

If the Business Combination does not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, Gemini Equityholders may incur a substantially greater U.S. federal income tax liability as a result of the Business Combination.

We intend for the Business Combination to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. However, we have not obtained a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, with respect to the tax consequences of the Business Combination and there can be no assurance that the our position would be sustained by a court if challenged by the IRS. Accordingly, if the IRS or a court determines that the Business Combination does not qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code and is therefore fully taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Gemini Equityholders generally would recognize taxable gain or loss on their receipt of Merger Consideration in connection with the Business Combination.

55

USE OF PROCEEDS

All of the shares of common stock offered by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Securityholders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.

56

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have not paid any cash dividends on our shares of Common Stock. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition. It is the present intention of our board of directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and, accordingly, our board of directors does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, if we incur any indebtedness, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection therewith.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 included in “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, and the accompanying notes filed on our annual report on Form 10-K. In addition, the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information was based on and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of FSDC and Old Gemini, including the accompanying notes, which are included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse capitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, FSDC is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of Gemini will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Old Gemini with the Business Combination being treated as the equivalent of Old Gemini issuing stock for the net assets of FSDC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of FSDC are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Old Gemini.

BUSINESS

Overview

We are a clinical-stage precision medicine company developing novel therapeutic compounds to treat genetically defined, age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Our lead product candidate, GEM103, is a recombinant form of the human complement factor H protein (CFH) and is designed to address complement hyperactivity and overall dysregulation caused by loss of function mutations thus restoring retinal health in patients with AMD. Native CFH serves multiple functions in maintaining retinal health including regulating lipid metabolism in the retina, protecting the retina against lipid and protein by-products of oxidative stress, and regulating the complement system, which is part of the innate immune system. This multifaceted regulation plays an integral role in engagement and maintenance of complement-mediated immune responses that are involved in pathogen defense and cellular debris clearance.

Since inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all our efforts and financial resources to organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, discovering product candidates and securing related intellectual property rights and conducting research and development activities for our product candidates. We do not have any products approved for sale, and we have not generated any revenue from product sales. We may never be able to develop or commercialize a marketable product.

Our lead product candidate, GEM103, is in Phase 2a clinical development and our other product candidates and research initiatives are in preclinical or earlier stages of development. Our ability to generate revenue from product sales sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. We have not yet successfully completed any pivotal clinical trials, nor have we obtained any regulatory approvals, manufactured a commercial-scale drug, or conducted sales and marketing activities. Through December 31, 2020, we had received gross proceeds of $76.0 million from the sale of our preferred stock, gross proceeds of $16.9 million from borrowings under convertible promissory notes and $10.0 million from our term loan facility with Silicon Valley Bank, (“SVB”).

We believe GEM103 is capable of down-regulating hyperactive complement activity while maintaining a healthy environment for the cellular architecture supporting retinal function in patients with AMD. We believe that this differentiated approach to controlling complement dysregulation will allow us to more broadly address AMD pathology and potentially treat AMD. In September 2020, we commenced a Phase 2a clinical trial of GEM103 in patients with dry AMD carrying mutations in the CFH gene. Topline data including safety, tolerability and relevant biomarkers of complement activation from this Phase 2a clinical trial are expected in the first half of 2021. GEM103 has been granted Fast Track designation by the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA.

Augmenting CFH activity represents a unique approach to address imbalances in the immune system in a broad array of complement-mediated inflammatory diseases. We aspire to lead the next generation of complement therapeutics by focusing on restoring native regulation of complement activation, as opposed to broadly inhibiting complement using engineered molecules. Restoration of terminal complement pathway regulation avoids the unintended consequences of broad complement inhibition, which can result in safety issues and a reduced therapeutic index. Integration of genetic, biological, and clinical information has identified high-risk, genetically defined subpopulations present within the current broadly defined AMD cohort. In particular, loss of function variants in the gene that encodes CFH can reduce complement regulation and/or adversely affect retinal homeostasis, both of which strongly correlate with an increased risk for developing AMD. We can identify, functionally evaluate and characterize the proteins generated by these genetic variants and define their roles in disease pathogenesis using custom genetic assays and functional assays, novel biomarkers, and our CLARITY natural history clinical trials. In the CLARITY natural history studies, we are evaluating clinical stage and extent of retinal disease as measured by precise imaging methods and have incorporated novel biomarker assessments when possible to evaluate the impact of the specific CFH variants in disease pathogenesis and progression.

59

AMD is a disease primarily affecting the macula, the central portion of the retina responsible for high acuity vision, and is the number one cause of irreversible blindness in the United States and Europe. AMD has generally been characterized as either “wet” or “dry,” definitions driven by clinical presentation rather than underlying biology. In dry AMD, the center of the retina slowly degenerates leading to loss of photoreceptors over time. In wet AMD, choroidal vessels grow aberrantly and invade the retina (referred to as choroidal neovascularization, or CNV) rapidly degrading central vision. There are approximately 16 million AMD patients in the United States, of whom approximately 90%, or approximately 15 million, have dry AMD. Of these, approximately six million carry a variant in the CFH gene which leads to loss of function in the CFH protein. In these patients, CFH protein is generally expressed at normal levels but the genetic mutations result in functional insufficiency in the CFH expressed. For wet AMD, drugs targeting one of the central proteins in CNV pathogenesis, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), have proven effective in its management. No treatment is currently available for the approximately 15 million patients with early, intermediate, or advanced dry AMD.

GEM103 has been evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial of CFH-variant related dry AMD patients. Single rising doses of GEM103, administered intravitreally, maintained supraphysiologic CFH levels for more than 28 days, with no adverse drug reactions and no ocular inflammation. In several subjects, dosing also resulted in reductions in a biomarker of complement activity, consistent with the GEM103 mechanism of action. GEM103 is now being evaluated in a multiple ascending dose Phase 2a clinical trial in similar genetically defined patients to further evaluate safety, tolerability, and effects on relevant complement activation biomarkers. In addition, GEM103 is being evaluated in a Phase 2a clinical trial as an add-on to anti-VEGF therapy for the treatment of wet AMD patients at risk for progressive vision loss due to macular atrophy.

We are led by experts with decades of collective experience in drug research, development, manufacturing, commercialization and collaborative alliances. Our board of directors, including Dr. Stephen Squinto and Mr. David Lubner, are leaders in research and development in the complement system. We have assembled a management team, led by our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jason Meyenburg, whose members have extensive experience in successfully developing, manufacturing and commercializing transformative therapies at companies including Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Orchard Therapeutics plc, Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Intellia Therapeutics, Inc., Merck & Co., Inc., ViroPharma Incorporated (acquired by Shire plc.), Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (acquired by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) and CSL Behring. Our management team’s wide-ranging expertise in rare diseases, complement therapeutics, immunology, genetics/gene therapy and protein biochemistry provide a singular vision for redefining AMD and linked disorders through precision medicine to address serious unmet medical needs.

Our Pipeline

Below is summary of our current product candidate pipeline.

In the table above, IND enabled means we have completed the necessary nonclinical studies, including without limitation ADME and toxicology, as well as formulation and manufacturing development necessary to seek the permission of regulatory authorities to begin human clinical testing.

GEM103

We are developing GEM103 initially for the treatment of dry AMD in patients with loss of function mutations in CFH. As a complement pathway regulatory protein, GEM103 is expected to restore appropriate complement function by ameliorating the detrimental effects of excessive complement activation, including inappropriate cell lysis and exaggerated immune responses, while simultaneously preserving the beneficial roles of CFH, including clearance of extracellular debris and repair of oxidative damage.

The mechanism of action of GEM103 stands in contrast to that of broad complement pathway inhibitors developed to date which indiscriminately block both the detrimental and beneficial effects of complement activation. To our knowledge, GEM103 is the first recombinant, native complement modulator being evaluated in human clinical trials.

We also plan to advance GEM103 through studies in a selected population of patients suffering from wet AMD who have been treated with an anti-VEGF therapy approved by the FDA, to evaluate the impact on VEGF-inhibition-related macular atrophy. On February 1, 2021, we announced that we had commenced a 2a clinical trial in this population and expect to have topline safety and tolerability data from this trial in the second half of 2021.

Our Strategy

We aspire to develop the next generation of complement therapeutics by precisely focusing on genetically defined patient populations through restoration of their physiologic CFH function which cannot be addressed by indiscriminate complement inhibitors.

Key elements of our strategy include:

61

Introduction to AMD

AMD is a progressive and irreversible disorder of the macula. The macula is the central portion of the retina in the eye and is responsible for both high acuity vision and color perception. AMD may affect vision in one or both eyes and in later stages results in progressive and chronic degeneration of the macula, leading to irreversible vision loss. AMD is a disease associated with advanced age, typically with onset occurring after the age of 50 and slowly progressing over many years. Retinal degeneration from dry AMD is a gradual process characterized by increasing drusen deposition and other extracellular debris accumulation around retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), complement hyperactivity and subsequent loss of photoreceptor cells in the retina in proximity to the degenerated RPE. Eventually, geographic atrophy (GA) occurs when regions of the macula are replaced by scar tissue. Common symptoms of dry AMD include blurry vision, loss of night vision and loss of central vision, making activities of daily living such as reading, driving and even recognizing faces progressively more difficult. With vision being central to independent living, AMD has a large and growing societal impact as the population ages.

Dry AMD, like many complex diseases, results from the interactions between environmental and genetic risk factors. However, unlike many late-onset conditions, approximately 70% of attributable risk for advanced AMD is explained by genetic risk. Factors such as aging, smoking, diet and UV light exposure confer the strongest non-genetic risks. Research over the last decade has uncovered multiple genetic variants which can increase the risk of developing advanced AMD by up to 30-fold, including many of the loci within the complement system. One such genetic locus that occurs with high frequency and strongly increases the risk of dry AMD is the CFH gene. We are developing GEM103, a recombinant human CFH molecule, to address the dysregulation resulting from loss of function variants in these patients and also to restore retinal homeostasis disrupted by CFH dysfunction.

62

Drugs targeting VEGF, one of the key endogenous proteins driving neovascularization, have proven to be successful in the treatment of wet AMD; however, no treatment is currently available for the remaining majority of patients with dry AMD or geographic atrophy (GA). Current standard-of-care for dry AMD is limited to over-the-counter vitamin and antioxidant supplements, and, in the absence of available therapeutic interventions, physicians can only regularly monitor a patient’s progression toward GA, vision loss, and ultimately blindness. There are a number of therapies in development for dry AMD and GA. Zimura, a C5 inhibitor being developed by IVERIC bio, Inc., is in pivotal clinical trials. Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is developing pegcetacoplan in Phase 3 clinical trials to target complement at the level of C3. Lampalizumab, a complement factor D inhibitor which had been developed by F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG failed to meet its endpoint in its Phase 3 clinical trials. As presented publicly by that sponsor, lampalizumab failed to adequately inhibit factor D and did not have an effect on complement biomarkers of interest as assayed post hoc from in-trial aqueous humor samples. Other approaches for the treatment of dry AMD are under investigation and in earlier stages of development such as programs from Gyroscope Therapeutics Limited and NGM Biopharmaceuticals.

Our Approach

We believe that a precision medicine approach exemplified by those applied to treat cancer and cystic fibrosis, where molecular definitions of disease supplant clinical descriptions or pathological diagnoses, can also be applied to AMD. Precision medicine is intended to more accurately diagnose patients and precisely match therapies to the underlying genetic drivers of disease. Our goal is to do the same for AMD by pioneering precision medicine in ophthalmology. Many well-powered and robust studies have demonstrated the significant role that genetics plays in the development of AMD and lay the groundwork for a precision approach in this large population with few options for treatment.

CLARITY Natural History Studies

In December 2018 we initiated CLARITY, a set of natural history studies designed to observe and help better understand how specific genetic variants affect the development of dry AMD. CLARITY combined in vivo and in vitro experiments to aid in identification of therapeutic candidates for indications within AMD and linked diseases. CLARITY was the largest study, to date, that screened dry AMD patients for high-risk genotypes to gain longitudinal clinical information.

The CLARITY studies were designed to identify and characterize disease progression in subjects with non-central GA secondary to dry AMD who are carriers of high-risk genetic variants. This analysis is designed to explore the relationship among genotype, visual function, and disease progression. For this purpose, we have developed a custom genetic test which screens dozens of genetic loci with coverage across all known high-risk genetic variants associated with dry AMD. In CLARITY, we have genetically screened more than 500 patients enabling identification of subjects for our development programs and serving to provide additional information on the impact of genetics on disease progression. Subjects who met genetic variant requirements were invited to consent to longitudinal follow up and 112 are currently being followed. An additional 121 patients with identified CFH variants either did not consent to longitudinal follow up but asked to be considered for interventional studies or failed screening. The studies are collecting data on demographics, medical history, visual function testing, anatomic ocular assessments, multi-modal ocular imaging, quality of life metrics and ocular fluid biomarkers in those who opted for prospective follow up. The study has also further served to confirm the frequency of pathological genotypic mutations of interest in the dry AMD population.

CLARITY has confirmed previously published results that approximately 40% of patients with dry AMD have a loss of function variant in the CFH gene. The variants result in the expression of a CFH protein which is impaired in its ability to regulate complement in the eye and/or its ability to promote broader retinal health and homeostasis. Within this 40% of the population with loss of function variants in CFH, 90% of those, (or 37% of all patients with dry AMD) carry one common homozygous variant, 402H, while the remaining 3% of all patients have a collection of heterozygous rare and ultra-rare variants in CFH. The latter commonly result in a high risk of atypically early onset of dry AMD including onset in the late 30 and early 40 years of age.

63

Results from CLARITY screening described above confirm other third-party Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) studies elucidating the role of genetics in AMD. One of the major signals in these GWAS studies is the association of specific gene variants in the general population with the development of dry AMD. Subsequent studies have shown the enrichment of these same variants in patients with dry AMD and have linked them to a substantially increased risk for developing this disease.

CFH, Complement and the Ocular Compartment

The immune system is composed of two distinct responses, innate and adaptive. The complement system, as part of the innate immune system, plays an integral role in maintaining immune-surveillance and homeostasis in the ocular microenvironment. The complement system is the first line of defense against infection and can effectively clear invading microorganisms well before activation of the adaptive immune system. Even apart from this sentinel function, localized complement activation occurs normally within the ocular compartment and is critical to maintaining retinal health, including participating in clearing of cell debris within the retinal cell layers. Complement dysfunction within the ocular compartment results in a diseased eye.

Complement components constitute a complex network of about 30 circulating or membrane-associated proteins, organized into hierarchal proteolytic cascades. The complement system can be activated by three different pathways: the classical pathway, the lectin pathway, and the alternative pathway. The alternative pathway is constitutively activated and is highly regulated on host cells to limit damage while being amplified on non-host or severely damaged cells to provide protection from pathogens and to help clear unwanted material. CFH provides critical functionality for retinal health. CFH binds to markers on the surface of the body’s own cells to protect these cells from aberrant or excessive complement activity. CFH also facilitates microbial clearance and other critical activities such as phagocytosis and lipid clearance. In the absence of sufficient levels of functional CFH protein, cells may be permanently and terminally damaged.

CFH is a key protein that is responsible for self-surface recognition as well as maintaining a well-balanced immune response by regulating the activation of the complement system. CFH functions physiologically to restore retinal health by both downregulating inappropriate cell lysis and facilitating clearance of extracellular debris and repair of oxidative damage which results from multiple sources. Immunohistochemical analyses have shown that many complement components, including CFH, are molecular constituents of drusen, a type of cell debris which is a clinical hallmark of dry AMD. Continuous control of the alternative pathway by CFH is necessary due to the amplifying properties of the alternative pathway and its potential to provoke unneeded inflammatory response if not properly controlled. This control is best achieved by maintaining regulatory function of the complement system by augmenting CFH activity and thereby inhibiting detrimental effects of the overly active complement system.

Our Clinical Development Program

GEM103

Overview

GEM103 is a full length, recombinantly produced human CFH protein which provides a functional level of active CFH in AMD patients with loss of function mutations in the gene encoding CFH. GEM103 imparts physiologic regulation of the complement pathway driving the complement system toward equilibrium in patients where there is incomplete regulation due to insufficient functional CFH protein. This is a unique approach to address over-activation of the innate immune system.

Preclinical and Clinical Development

A series of preclinical studies have been performed to demonstrate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic performance of GEM103. In preclinical pharmacokinetic studies, we observed that GEM103 was detected in all

64

assayed ocular compartments, including aqueous humor, vitreous humor and the retina. Of note GEM103 was distributed to the retina following intravitreal injection in non-human primate radio-labeled distribution studies. Our study shows that after an intravitreal injection of radio-labelled GEM103, the protein is detected in the aqueous humor as well as into the retina, which is the site of action for the protein, for an extended period of time following a single dose.

Actions of endogenous CFH include inhibition of the complement activation cascade while permitting clearance of foreign material, cellular debris and pathogens in the eye. In in vitro, cell-based assays, GEM103 was shown to inhibit hyperactive terminal complement activity demonstrating a more potent but comparable maximal ability to inhibit cellular lysis when compared to a broad inhibitor of C3. In addition, we observed the necessary phagocytic activity required to clear lipid and other forms of debris is maintained by GEM103, while it is impaired by a broad inhibitor of C3, a potentially undesirable consequence of current approaches that results in complete suppression of complement activity.

In our Phase 1 clinical trial, single ascending doses of GEM103 were administered via intravitreal injection (IVT) to dry AMD patients enriched for genetic variants of interest with greater than 50% visual acuity loss and central GA. GEM103 was well-tolerated across a range of single doses from 50 to 500 µg/eye in a 50 µL preparation delivered intravitreally, without any dose limiting toxicity or inflammation or anti-drug induced antibody, confirmed by an independent safety review committee. Serial aqueous humor sampling was performed to gather pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data. Administration of GEM103 resulted in dose related increases in CFH concentrations that remained supraphysiological at all dose levels, with patients treated with dose of 100 µg or greater having supraphysiologic levels of CFH over the observation period of at least 28 days.

As an exploratory assessment of pharmacodynamic effect, measurement of complement biomarkers was performed on aqueous humor samples obtained from patients at various timepoints after receiving a single dose of GEM103. In several subjects, GEM103 administration was associated with a subsequent reduction of Ba, a complement biomarker of alternate pathway activation and inflammation as evaluated from serial aqueous humor sampling. These exploratory observations are consistent with the mechanism of action of CFH as a regulator of complement function in the eye.

GEM103 is now being evaluated in a multiple ascending dose Phase 2a clinical trial of a genetically enriched patient population carrying mutation(s) in the gene for CFH and suffering from dry AMD. Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and exploratory biomarker responses based upon serially obtained aqueous humor samples will be obtained. Topline data from this trial is expected in the first half of 2021. The data from this trial will inform dose selection for an end of Phase 2 meeting with regulatory authorities as we plan to seek alignment on a pivotal development pathway.

Based on the results from our Phase 1 clinical trial, we plan to study both the 250 µg and 500 µg IVT doses, administered monthly in this Phase 2a multiple dose study to inform pivotal dose selection. We believe the following items observed in our Phase 1 clinical trial will be further elucidated with multiple dosing in the Phase 2a clinical trial:

65

We are also advancing GEM103 as add-on therapy in patients suffering from wet AMD who have been treated with anti-VEGF therapy, as development of macular atrophy in that setting has been associated with a relative insufficiency in CFH. We plan to update the GEM103 IND, submitting our Phase 1/2a clinical trial to the FDA in 4Q2020, and anticipate topline data from this trial in the second half of 2021.

Our AAV-CFH program is complementary to our GEM103 program, as AAV-CFH is a construct that will express GEM103 continuously at a therapeutic level. Our AAV-CFH program is directly informed by GEM103 in terms of patients, genetics, clinical biomarkers and trial design. With our AAV-CFH program we believe we will be able to intervene in specific genetically identified patient populations (intermediate AMD — before geographic atrophy is detectable) with a single dose of AAV-CFH.

Additional Programs

Factor H Potentiating Antibody

In addition to AMD, there are other systemic conditions that have complement dysregulation as part of the underlying disease pathologies. Many of these conditions affect the renal system and include rare diseases such as atypical Hemolytic Syndrome, C3 Glomerulopathy as well as more common disorders like IgA Nephropathy. Many of these diseases have genetic risk factors that include CFH dysregulation and other complement regulatory proteins like the CFH-related proteins. We have developed a factor H potentiating antibody that enhances the activity of endogenous CFH, effectively increasing the effective functional concentration of CFH. We have pre-clinical data supporting improvement of clinical benefit in animal models mimicking these conditions of complement dysregulation. We are completing pharmacology studies and expect to have a clinical candidate in the second half of 2021.

Manufacturing

We do not currently own or operate manufacturing facilities for the production of clinical or commercial quantities of our product candidates. Although we intend to rely on third-party contract manufacturers to produce our product candidates, we have recruited personnel with experience to manage the third-party contract manufacturers producing our product candidates and other product candidates or products that we may develop in the future.

Our lead product candidate, GEM103, is a recombinant version of the endogenous CFH protein that is found most widely in our ‘intent to treat’ population. Specifically, it contains the amino acids V62, Y402 and E936 which are those most frequently found in the Caucasian population.

The process for manufacturing GEM103 consists of a cell line, and associated cell culture and purification processes to achieve stringent purity criteria in line with a product candidate dosed intravitreally.

66

We currently engage third-party manufacturers to provide clinical supplies of GEM103 and a different third-party manufacturer to provide fill-finish services for GEM103. We currently have sufficient supplies of GEM103 on hand for our current clinical trial needs.

Sales and Marketing

We hold worldwide commercialization rights to each of our product candidates.

We plan to build focused capabilities to commercialize development programs for certain indications where we believe that the medical specialists for the indications are sufficiently concentrated to allow us to effectively promote the product with a targeted sales team. In other indications, we may seek to enter into collaborations that we believe may contribute to our ability to advance development and ultimately commercialize our product candidates.

We may also seek to enter into collaborations where we believe that realizing the full commercial value of our development programs will require access to broader geographic markets or the pursuit of broader patient populations or indications.

Research Collaboration and License Agreement

On April 1, 2017, we entered into a Research Collaboration and License Agreement with Sanquin Blood Supply Foundation (“Sanquin”) (the “2017 License Agreement”) to develop antibodies that bind and enhance the activity of CFH. From the effective date of the 2017 License Agreement until the end of April 2019, the parties engaged in a research program based on an agreed upon research plan. The research program was overseen by a joint steering committee, comprised of two members from each of Gemini and Sanquin, with each party having one vote with respect to decisions within the purview of the joint steering committee. If the joint steering committee was unable to resolve any issues unanimously, then such disputes were subject to a dispute resolution procedures. We funded Sanquin’s research during the term of the research program.

Following the conclusion of the research program, we have sole responsibility for the development of licensed products for the treatment and prevention of diseases in humans. Sanquin granted us an exclusive royalty-bearing license, with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers, to Sanquin’s patent rights, including patent rights generated during the research program and a non-exclusive license, with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers, to Sanquin’s background know-how and materials, in each case to research, develop, commercialize, make, use, sell, offer for sale and import or otherwise exploit licensed products. We are required to use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct development and commercialization of licensed products in accordance with an agreed upon development plan.

As consideration for the license, we paid Sanquin a one-time, non-refundable upfront payment of $100,000. We are required to make milestone payments to Sanquin upon achievement of certain development and commercial milestones (i.e., once net sales targets exceed certain thresholds) totalling up to an aggregate amount of $29.0 million. We are also required to pay Saquin a low double digit percentage of any non-royalty sublicensing income received and are required to make minimum royalty payments to Sanquin on each anniversary date of the effective date of the 2017 License Agreement. We are required to make royalty payments of between 1.25% and 2.50% of net product sales if commercialization is achieved, subject to offset by minimum royalty payments due and up to 50% reduction for royalty stacking.

The 2017 License Agreement shall terminate on a country-by-country and licensed product-by-licensed product basis upon the latest of (i) expiration of the last valid claim of a Saquin patent that covers such licensed product, (ii) seven years after the first commercial sale of such licensed product, or (iii) the date on which there is no longer any marketing exclusivity for such licensed product. The 2017 License Agreement may be terminated by either party (i) upon 90 days written notice in the event of the other party’s uncured breach of the 2017 License

67

Agreement, or (ii) the other party files for bankruptcy protection, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or files a petition for bankruptcy or insolvency that is not dismissed in 90 days. We have the right to terminate the 2017 License Agreement at any time upon 90 days prior written notice, and Sanquin has the right to terminate the 2017 License Agreement if we fail to meet our diligence obligations under the 2017 License Agreement.

Intellectual Property

Our success depends in part upon our ability to protect our core technology and intellectual property. To protect our intellectual property rights, we rely on patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures, and employee disclosure and invention assignment agreements. Our intellectual property is critical to our business and we strive to protect it through a variety of approaches, including by obtaining and maintaining patent protection in the United States and internationally for our product candidates, novel biological discoveries, and other inventions that are important to our business. For our product candidates, we generally intend to pursue patent protection covering compositions of matter, methods of making and methods of use, including combination therapies. As we continue the development of our product candidates, we intend to identify additional means of obtaining patent protection that would potentially enhance commercial success, including through claims covering additional methods of use and biomarkers and complementary diagnostic and/or companion diagnostic related claims.

As of March 15, 2021, we own or exclusively license approximately 45 patents and pending patent applications in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, including three granted U.S. and foreign patents, and 40 pending U.S. non-provisional and foreign patent applications and two pending U.S. provisional patent applications.

Our patent portfolio relating to GEM103 includes three patent families owned by us, one pending as an application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, or PCT, and two pending as U.S. provisional patent applications. The PCT application is directed to methods of treating patients who carry certain CFH genetic mutations with GEM103. The statutory expiration for any U.S. and foreign patents issuing from this family is 2040. One provisional patent application is directed to methods of treatment in certain other patient populations with GEM103. Also disclosed in this application are dosage regimens for using GEM103. The statutory expiration for any U.S. and foreign patents issuing from this family is 2041. The other provisional patent application is directed to the GEM103 composition and methods of manufacturing it. The statutory expiration for any U.S. and foreign patents issuing from this family is 2041.

Our patent portfolio relating to our factor H potentiating antibody program includes one patent family owned by us and two patent families that we exclusively license from Sanquin Blood Supply Foundation. The two in-licensed families are directed to antibodies that bind the same region of the factor H protein as our current product candidate. The first in-licensed family includes one granted U.S. patent, one granted European patent, one granted Mexican patent, and pending patent applications in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Israel, Japan, and the Republic of Korea. The European and Mexican patents cover our current product candidate and are expected to expire in 2035. The statutory expiration for any other patents issuing from this family is also 2035. The second in-licensed family is pending in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, Israel, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Mexico and the United States. The statutory expiration for any patents issuing from this family is 2039. The patent family owned by us is directed to the specific product candidate currently under development. This family is pending as an application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, or PCT, and applications in Argentina and Taiwan. The statutory expiration for any patents issuing from this family is 2040.

In addition to patents, we rely upon unpatented trade secrets and know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain our competitive position. However, trade secrets and know-how can be difficult to protect. We seek to protect our proprietary information, in part, by executing confidentiality agreements with our collaborators and scientific advisors, and non-solicitation, confidentiality, and invention assignment agreements with our employees and consultants. We have also executed agreements requiring

68

assignment of inventions with selected scientific advisors and collaborators. The confidentiality agreements we enter into are designed to protect our proprietary information and the agreements or clauses requiring assignment of inventions to us are designed to grant us ownership of technologies that are developed through our relationship with the respective counterparty. We cannot guarantee, however, that we have executed such agreements with all applicable counterparties, such agreements will not be breached, or that these agreements will afford us adequate protection of our intellectual property and proprietary rights. For more information, see “Risk factors — Risks related to our intellectual property.”

Competition

The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are characterized by rapidly advancing technologies, intense competition and a strong emphasis on proprietary products. While we believe that our technologies, knowledge, experience and scientific resources provide us with competitive advantages, we face potential competition from many different sources, including major pharmaceutical, specialty pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic institutions and governmental agencies and public and private research institutions. Any product candidates that we successfully develop and commercialize will compete with existing therapies and new therapies that may become available in the future.

The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, including the genetic medicines field, are characterized by rapidly changing technologies, competition and a strong emphasis on intellectual property. We are aware of several companies focused on developing precision medicines in various indications as well as several companies developing gene therapies addressing methods for modifying genes and regulating gene expression. We may also face competition from large and specialty pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic research institutions, government agencies and public and private research institutions with genetic medicine and other therapeutic approaches.

We consider our most direct competitors with respect to GEM103 for the treatment of AMD to be Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. which has a fully enrolled phase 3 clinical trial for the study of geographic atrophy for its C3 inhibitor, and IVERIC bio, which is conducting a pivotal study in geographic atrophy for its C5 inhibitor. Other approaches are under investigation and in earlier stages of development.

Government Regulation

The FDA and other regulatory authorities at federal, state and local levels, as well as in foreign countries, extensively regulate, among other things, the research, development, testing, manufacture, quality control, import, export, safety, effectiveness, labeling, packaging, storage, distribution, record keeping, approval, advertising, promotion, marketing, post-approval monitoring and post-approval reporting of biologics such as those we are developing. We, along with our vendors, collaboration partners, contract research organizations, or CROs, and contract manufacturers, will be required to navigate the various preclinical, clinical, manufacturing and commercial approval requirements of the governing regulatory agencies of the countries in which we wish to conduct studies or seek approval of our product candidate. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals of drugs and ensuring subsequent compliance with appropriate federal, state, local and foreign statutes and regulations requires the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources.

In the United States, where we are initially focusing our product development, the FDA regulates biologics under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the Public Health Service Act, or PHSA, and their implementing regulations. Biologics are also subject to other federal, state and local statutes and regulations. Our product candidates are early-stage and have not been approved by the FDA for marketing in the United States.

The process required by the FDA before our product candidates are approved for therapeutic indications and may be marketed in the United States generally involves the following:

69

Preclinical and clinical trials for biologics

Before testing any drug or biologic in humans, the product candidate must undergo rigorous preclinical testing. Preclinical studies include laboratory evaluations of chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as in vitro and animal studies to assess safety and in some cases to establish the rationale for therapeutic use. The conduct of preclinical studies is subject to federal and state regulations and requirements, including GLP requirements for safety and toxicology studies. The results of the preclinical studies, together with manufacturing information and analytical data must be submitted to the FDA as part of an IND. An IND is a request for authorization from the FDA to administer an investigational product to humans, and it must become effective before clinical trials may begin. The central focus of an IND submission is on the general investigational plan and the protocol(s) for clinical studies. The IND also includes results of animal and in vitro studies assessing the toxicology, pharmacokinetics, pharmacology, and pharmacodynamic characteristics of the product; chemistry, manufacturing, and controls information; and any available human data or literature to support the use of the investigational product. The IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30-day time period, raises concerns or questions about the conduct of the clinical trial, including concerns that human research subjects will be exposed to unreasonable health risks, and imposes a clinical hold. In such a case, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolve any outstanding concerns before the clinical trial can begin. Some long-term preclinical testing may continue after the IND is submitted. Accordingly, submission of an IND may or may not result in FDA authorization to begin a trial. A separate submission to an existing IND must also be made for each successive clinical trial conducted during product development of a product candidate, and the FDA must grant permission, either explicitly or implicitly by not objecting, before each clinical trial can begin.

The clinical stage of development involves the administration of the product candidate to healthy volunteers or patients under the supervision of qualified investigators, generally physicians not employed by or under the trial sponsor’s control, in accordance with GCP requirements, which include the requirements that all research subjects provide their informed consent for their participation in any clinical trial. Clinical trials are conducted under protocols detailing, among other things, the objectives of the clinical trial, dosing procedures, subject

70

selection and exclusion criteria and the parameters and criteria to be used in monitoring safety and evaluating effectiveness. Each protocol, and any subsequent amendments to the protocol, must be submitted to the FDA as part of the IND. Furthermore, each clinical trial must be reviewed and approved by an IRB for each institution at which the clinical trial will be conducted to ensure that the risks to individuals participating in the clinical trials are minimized and are reasonable related to the anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the informed consent form that must be provided to each clinical trial subject or his or her legal representative, and must monitor the clinical trial until completed. The FDA, the IRB, or the sponsor may suspend or discontinue a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the subjects are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. Some studies also include oversight by an independent group of qualified experts organized by the clinical study sponsor, known as a data safety monitoring board, which provides authorization for whether or not a study may move forward at designated check points based on access to certain data from the study and may halt the clinical trial if it determines that there is an unacceptable safety risk for subjects or other grounds, such as no demonstration of efficacy. There also are requirements governing the reporting of ongoing clinical trials and completed clinical trials to public registries. Information about applicable clinical trials, including clinical trials results, must be submitted within specific timeframes for publication on the www.clinicaltrials.gov website.

While we plan to conduct any international clinical trials under foreign equivalents to INDs in the future, a sponsor who wishes to conduct a clinical trial outside of the United States may, but need not, obtain FDA authorization to conduct the clinical trial under an IND. The FDA will accept a well-designed and well-conducted foreign clinical study not conducted under an IND if the study was conducted in accordance with GCP requirements, and the FDA is able to validate the data through an onsite inspection if deemed necessary.

Clinical trials to evaluate therapeutic indications to support BLAs for marketing approval are typically conducted in three sequential phases, which may overlap.

Post-approval trials, sometimes referred to as Phase 4 clinical trials, may be conducted after initial marketing approval. These trials are used to gain additional experience from the treatment of patients in the intended therapeutic indication and are commonly intended to generate additional safety data regarding use of the product in a clinical setting. In certain instances, the FDA may mandate the performance of Phase 4 clinical trials as a condition of approval of a BLA.

Progress reports detailing the results of the clinical trials, among other information, must be submitted at least annually to the FDA and written IND safety reports must be submitted to the FDA and the investigators fifteen days after the trial sponsor determines the information qualifies for reporting for serious and unexpected

71

suspected adverse events, findings from other studies or animal or in vitro testing that suggest a significant risk for human participants exposed to the biologic and any clinically important increase in the rate of a serious suspected adverse reaction over that listed in the protocol or investigator brochure. The sponsor must also notify the FDA of any unexpected fatal or life-threatening suspected adverse reaction as soon as possible but in no case later than seven calendar days after the sponsor’s initial receipt of the information.

Concurrent with clinical trials, companies usually complete additional animal studies and must also develop additional information about the biological characteristics of the product candidate and finalize a process for manufacturing the drug product in commercial quantities in accordance with cGMP requirements. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality batches of the product candidate and manufacturers must develop, among other things, methods for testing the identity, strength, quality and purity of the final drug product. Additionally, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested, and stability studies must be conducted to demonstrate that the product candidate does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life and to identify appropriate storage conditions for the product candidate.

BLA Submission and Review by the FDA

We intend to seek data exclusivity or market exclusivity for our product candidates. Assuming successful completion of the required clinical testing, the results of the preclinical studies and clinical trials, together with detailed information relating to the product’s chemistry, manufacture, controls and proposed labeling, among other things, are submitted to the FDA as part of a BLA requesting approval to market the product for one or more indications. A BLA is a request for approval to market a new biologic for one or more specified indications. The BLA must include all relevant data available from pertinent pre-clinical and clinical studies, including negative or ambiguous results as well as positive findings, together with detailed information relating to the product’s chemistry, manufacturing, controls, and proposed labeling, among other things. Data may come from company-sponsored clinical trials intended to test the safety and efficacy of a product’s use or from a number of alternative sources, including studies initiated by investigators. To support marketing approval, the data submitted must be sufficient in quality and quantity to establish the safety, purity and potency of the investigational product to the satisfaction of the FDA. FDA approval of a BLA must be obtained before a biologic may be marketed in the United States.

In addition, under the Pediatric Research Equity Act, or PREA, a BLA or supplement to a BLA must contain data to assess the safety and effectiveness of the biological product candidate for the claimed indications in all relevant pediatric subpopulations and to support dosing and administration for each pediatric subpopulation for which the product is safe and effective. The Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act requires that a sponsor who is planning to submit a marketing application for a biological product that includes a new clinically active component, new indication, new dosage form, new dosing regimen or new route of administration submit an initial Pediatric Study Plan (PSP) within sixty days after an end-of-Phase 2 meeting or as may be agreed between the sponsor and FDA. Unless otherwise required by regulation, PREA does not apply to any biological product for an indication for which orphan designation has been granted.

The FDA reviews all submitted BLAs before it accepts them for filing, and may request additional information rather than accepting the BLA for filing. The FDA must make a decision on accepting a BLA for filing within 60 days of receipt, and such decision could include a refusal to file by the FDA. Once the submission is accepted for filing, the FDA begins an in-depth substantive review of the BLA. The FDA reviews a BLA to determine, among other things, whether the product is safe, pure and potent and whether the facility in which it is manufactured, processed, packaged or held meets standards designed to assure the product’s continued safety, quality and purity. Under the goals and polices agreed to by the FDA under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, the FDA targets ten months, from the filing date, in which to complete its initial review of an original BLA and respond to the applicant, and six months from the filing date of an original BLA filed for priority review. The FDA does not always meet its PDUFA goal dates for standard or priority BLAs, and the review process is often extended by FDA requests for additional information or clarification.

72

Further, under PDUFA, as amended, each BLA must be accompanied by a user fee, and the sponsor of an approved BLA is also subject to an annual program fee. FDA adjusts the PDUFA user fees on an annual basis. Fee waivers or reductions may be available in certain circumstances, including a waiver of the application fee for the first application filed by a small business. Additionally, no user fees are assessed on BLAs for products designated as orphan drugs, unless the product also includes a non-orphan indication.

The FDA may refer an application for a biologic to an advisory committee. An advisory committee is a panel of independent experts, including clinicians and other scientific experts, which reviews, evaluates and provides a recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under what conditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendations of an advisory committee, but it considers such recommendations carefully when making decisions.

Before approving a BLA, the FDA typically will inspect the facility or facilities where the product is manufactured. The FDA will not approve an application unless it determines that the manufacturing processes and facilities are in compliance with cGMP requirements and adequate to assure consistent production of the product within required specifications. Additionally, before approving a BLA, the FDA may inspect one or more clinical trial sites to assure compliance with GCP and other requirements and the integrity of the clinical data submitted to the FDA.

The FDA also may require submission of a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, or REMS, as a condition for approving the BLA to ensure that the benefits of the product outweigh its risks. The REMS could include medication guides, physician communication plans, assessment plans, and/or elements to assure safe use, such as restricted distribution methods, patient registries, or other risk-minimization tools.

After evaluating the BLA and all related information, including the advisory committee recommendation, if any, and inspection reports regarding the manufacturing facilities and clinical trial sites, the FDA may issue an approval letter, or, in some cases, a Complete Response Letter. A Complete Response Letter indicates that the review cycle of the application is complete and the application is not ready for approval. A Complete Response Letter will usually describe all of the deficiencies that the FDA has identified in the BLA, except that where the FDA determines that the data supporting the application are inadequate to support approval, the FDA may issue the Complete Response Letter without first conducting required inspections, testing submitted product lots, and/or reviewing proposed labeling. In issuing the Complete Response Letter, the FDA may recommend actions that the applicant might take to place the BLA in condition for approval, including requests for additional information or clarification. Even with submission of this additional information, the FDA ultimately may decide that the application does not satisfy the regulatory criteria for approval. If and when those conditions have been met to the FDA’s satisfaction, the FDA will typically issue an approval letter. An approval letter authorizes commercial marketing of the product with specific prescribing information for specific indications.

Even if the FDA approves a product, depending on the specific risk(s) to be addressed, the FDA may limit the approved indications for use of the product, require that contraindications, warnings or precautions be included in the product labeling, require that post-approval studies, including Phase 4 clinical trials, be conducted to further assess a product’s safety after approval, require testing and surveillance programs to monitor the product after commercialization, or impose other conditions, including distribution and use restrictions or other risk management mechanisms under a REMS, which can materially affect the potential market and profitability of the product. The FDA may prevent or limit further marketing of a product based on the results of post-marketing studies or surveillance programs. After approval, some types of changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications, manufacturing changes, and additional labeling claims, are subject to further testing requirements and FDA review and approval.

Expedited development and review programs for biologics

The FDA maintains several programs intended to facilitate and expedite development and review of new drugs and biologics to address unmet medical needs in the treatment of serious or life-threatening diseases or

73

conditions. These programs include Fast Track designation, Breakthrough Therapy designation, priority review and Accelerated Approval.

A new biologic is eligible for Fast Track designation if it is intended to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and demonstrates the potential to address unmet medical needs for such disease or condition. Fast track designation applies to the combination of the product and the specific indication for which it is being studied. Fast Track designation provides increased opportunities for sponsor interactions with the FDA during preclinical and clinical development, in addition to the potential for rolling review once a marketing application is filed, meaning that the FDA may consider for review sections of the BLA on a rolling basis before the complete application is submitted, if the sponsor provides a schedule for the submission of the sections of the BLA, the FDA agrees to accept sections of the BLA and determines that the schedule is acceptable, and the sponsor pays any required user fees upon submission of the first section of the BLA.

In addition, a new drug or biological product may be eligible for Breakthrough Therapy designation if it is intended to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the biologic, alone or in combination with or more other drugs or biologics, may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical development. Breakthrough Therapy designation provides all the features of Fast Track designation in addition to intensive guidance on an efficient development program beginning as early as Phase 1, and FDA organizational commitment to expedited development, including involvement of senior managers and experienced review staff in a cross-disciplinary review, where appropriate.

Any product submitted to the FDA for approval, including a product with Fast Track or Breakthrough Therapy designation, may also be eligible for additional FDA programs intended to expedite the review and approval process, including priority review and Accelerated Approval. A product is eligible for priority review if it is intended to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition, and if approved, would provide a significant improvement in safety or effectiveness. For original BLAs, priority review designation means the FDA’s goal is to take action on the marketing application within six months of the 60-day filing date (compared with ten months under standard review).

A product intended to treat serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions may receive Accelerated Approval upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogate endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit, or on a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than on irreversible morbidity or mortality which is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit, taking into account the severity, rarity, or prevalence of the condition and the availability or lack of alternative treatments.

Accelerated Approval is usually contingent on a sponsor’s agreement to conduct additional post-approval studies to verify and describe the product’s clinical benefit. The FDA may withdraw approval of a drug or biologic approved under Accelerated Approval if, for example, the sponsor fails to conduct the confirmatory trials in a timely manner or the confirmatory trial fails to verify the predicted clinical benefit of the product. In addition, unless otherwise informed by the FDA, the FDA currently requires, as a condition for Accelerated Approval, that all advertising and promotional materials that are intended for dissemination or publication within 120 days following marketing approval be submitted to the agency for review during the pre-approval review period, and that after 120 days following marketing approval, all advertising and promotional materials must be submitted at least 30 days prior to the intended time of initial dissemination or publication.

Fast Track designation, Breakthrough Therapy designation, priority review and Accelerated Approval do not change the scientific or medical standards for approval or the quality of evidence necessary to support approval but may expedite the development or review process.

Post-approval requirements for biologics

Drugs and biologics manufactured or distributed pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including, among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, periodic reporting, product sampling and distribution, reporting of adverse experiences with the product, complying with promotion and advertising requirements, which include restrictions on promoting products for unapproved uses or patient populations (known as “off-label use”) and limitations on industry-sponsored scientific and educational activities. Although physicians may prescribe approved products for off-label uses, manufacturers may not market or promote such uses. The FDA and other agencies actively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of off-label uses, including not only by Company employees but also by agents of the Company or those speaking on the Company’s behalf, and a company that is found to have improperly promoted off-label uses may be subject to significant liability. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things, adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties, including liabilities under the False Claims Act where products carry reimbursement under federal health care programs. Promotional materials for approved biologics must be submitted to the FDA in conjunction with their first use or first publication. Further, if there are any modifications to the product, including changes in indications, labeling or manufacturing processes or facilities, the applicant may be required to submit and obtain FDA approval of a new BLA or BLA supplement, which may require the development of additional data or preclinical studies and clinical trials.

The FDA may impose a number of post-approval requirements as a condition of approval of a BLA. For example, the FDA may require post-market testing, including Phase 4 clinical trials, and surveillance to further assess and monitor the product’s safety and effectiveness after commercialization.

In addition, drug and biologics manufacturers and their subcontractors involved in the manufacture and distribution of approved products are required to register their establishments with the FDA and certain state agencies and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliance with ongoing regulatory requirements, including cGMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our contract manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process are strictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also require investigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any third-party manufacturers that we may decide to use. Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP and other aspects of regulatory compliance. Failure to comply with statutory and regulatory requirements can subject a manufacturer to possible legal or regulatory action, such as warning letters, suspension of manufacturing, product seizures, injunctions, civil penalties or criminal prosecution. There is also a continuing, annual program fee for any marketed product.

The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reaches the market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information, requirements for post-market studies or clinical trials to assess new safety risks, or imposition of distribution or other restrictions under a REMS. Other potential consequences include, among other things:

75

Orphan Designation and Exclusivity

Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may grant orphan drug designation, or ODD, to a drug or biologic intended to treat a rare disease or condition, defined as a disease or condition with either a patient population of fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States, or a patient population greater of than 200,000 individuals in the United States when there is no reasonable expectation that the cost of developing and making available the drug or biologic in the United States will be recovered from sales in the United States of that drug or biologic. ODD must be requested before submitting a BLA. After the FDA grants ODD, the generic identity of the therapeutic agent and its potential orphan use are disclosed publicly by the FDA.

If a product that has received ODD and subsequently receives the first FDA approval for a particular clinically active component for the disease for which it has such designation, the product is entitled to orphan product exclusivity, which means that the FDA may not approve any other applications, including a full BLA, to market the same biologic for the same indication for seven years from the approval of the BLA, except in limited circumstances, such as a showing of clinical superiority to the product with orphan drug exclusivity or if the FDA finds that the holder of the orphan drug exclusivity has not shown that it can assure the availability of sufficient quantities of the orphan drug to meet the needs of patients with the disease or condition for which the drug was designated. Orphan drug exclusivity does not prevent the FDA from approving a different drug or biologic for the same disease or condition, or the same drug or biologic for a different disease or condition. Among the other benefits of ODD are tax credits for certain research and a waiver of the BLA application user fee.

A designated orphan drug may not receive orphan drug exclusivity if it is approved for a use that is broader than the indication for which it received ODD. In addition, orphan drug exclusive marketing rights in the United States may be lost if the FDA later determines that the request for designation was materially defective or if the manufacturer is unable to assure sufficient quantities of the product to meet the needs of patients with the rare disease or condition.

Biosimilars and Exclusivity

The Affordable Care Act, signed into law in 2010, includes a subtitle called the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act, or BPCIA, which created an abbreviated approval pathway for biological products that are biosimilar to or interchangeable with an FDA-licensed reference biological product. The FDA has issued several guidance documents outlining an approach to review and approval of biosimilars. Biosimilarity, which requires that there be no clinically meaningful differences between the biological product and the reference product in terms of safety, purity, and potency, can be shown through analytical studies, animal studies, and a clinical study or studies. Interchangeability requires that a product is biosimilar to the reference product and the product must demonstrate that it can be expected to produce the same clinical results as the reference product in any given patient and, for products that are administered multiple times to an individual, the biologic and the reference biologic may be alternated or switched after one has been previously administered without increasing safety risks or risks of diminished efficacy relative to exclusive use of the reference biologic. However, complexities associated with the larger, and often more complex, structures of biological products, as well as the processes by which such products are manufactured, pose significant hurdles to implementation of the abbreviated approval pathway that are still being worked out by the FDA.

76

Under the BPCIA, an application for a biosimilar product may not be submitted to the FDA until four years following the date that the reference product was first licensed by the FDA. In addition, the approval of a biosimilar product may not be made effective by the FDA until 12 years from the date on which the reference product was first licensed. During this 12-year period of exclusivity, another company may still market a competing version of the reference product if the FDA approves a full BLA for the competing product containing that applicant’s own preclinical data and data from adequate and well-controlled clinical trials to demonstrate the safety, purity and potency of its product. The BPCIA also created certain exclusivity periods for biosimilars approved as interchangeable products. At this juncture, it is unclear whether products deemed “interchangeable” by the FDA will, in fact, be readily substituted by pharmacies, which are governed by state pharmacy law.

A biological product can also obtain pediatric market exclusivity in the United States. Pediatric exclusivity, if granted, adds six months to existing exclusivity periods and patent terms. This six-month exclusivity, which runs from the end of other exclusivity protection or patent term, may be granted based on the voluntary completion of a pediatric study in accordance with an FDA-issued “Written Request” for such a study.

The BPCIA is complex and continues to be interpreted and implemented by the FDA. In addition, government proposals have sought to reduce the 12-year reference product exclusivity period. Other aspects of the BPCIA, some of which may impact the BPCIA exclusivity provisions, have also been the subject of recent litigation. As a result, the ultimate impact, implementation, and regulatory interpretation of the BPCIA remain subject to significant uncertainty.

Other regulatory matters

Manufacturing, sales, promotion and other activities of product candidates following product approval, where applicable, or commercialization are also subject to regulation by numerous regulatory authorities in the United States in addition to the FDA, which may include the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS, the Department of Justice, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency and state and local governments and governmental agencies.

Employees

As of the date of this prospectus, we had 28 full-time or part-time employees, including three employees with M.D. degrees and eight employees with Ph.D. degrees. None of our employees are represented by labor unions or covered by collective bargaining agreements. We consider the relationship with our employees to be good.

Facilities

Our facilities consist of office space of approximately 11,894 square feet in Cambridge, Massachusetts under a lease that expires in May 2023, subject to the right to extend the term for one additional three (3) year term. We believe that our current facilities are sufficient for our current needs.

Legal Proceedings

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF GEMINI

The following discussion and analysis of Old Gemini’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Old Gemini’s financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, including information with respect to Old Gemini plans and strategy for its business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors”, Old Gemini actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. You should carefully read the sections titled “Risk Factors” to gain an understanding of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Old Gemini forward-looking statements. Please also see the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included in our proxy statement/prospectus on Form S-4 Registration No. 333-249785), which was declared effective on January 19, 2021 (the “Business Combination Registration Statement”). Old Gemini does not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Gemini section to “Gemini,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar terms refer to Old Gemini (as defined below) prior to the Business Combination (as defined below) and to Gemini and its consolidated subsidiaries after giving effect to the Business Combination.

Overview

We are a clinical-stage precision medicine company developing novel therapeutic compounds to treat genetically defined, age-related macular degeneration (“AMD”). Our lead product candidate, GEM103, is a recombinant form of the human complement factor H protein (“CFH”) and is designed to address complement hyperactivity and overall dysregulation caused by loss of function mutations thus restoring retinal health in patients with AMD. Native CFH serves multiple functions in maintaining retinal health, including regulating lipid metabolism in the retina, protecting the retina against lipid and protein by-products of oxidative stress, and regulating the complement system, which is part of the innate immune system. This multifaceted regulation plays an integral role in engagement and maintenance of complement-mediated immune responses that are involved in pathogen defense and cellular debris clearance.

Since inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all our efforts and financial resources to organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, discovering product candidates and securing related intellectual property rights and conducting research and development activities for our product candidates. We do not have any products approved for sale, and we have not generated any revenue from product sales. We may never be able to develop or commercialize a marketable product.

Our lead product candidate, GEM103, is in Phase 2a clinical development and our other product candidates and research initiatives are in preclinical or earlier stages of development. Our ability to generate revenue from product sales sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. We have not yet successfully completed any pivotal clinical trials, nor have we obtained any regulatory approvals, manufactured a commercial-scale drug, or conducted sales and marketing activities. Through December 31, 2020, we had received gross proceeds of $76.0 million from the sale of our preferred stock, gross proceeds of $16.9 million from borrowings under convertible promissory notes and $10.0 million from our term loan facility with Silicon Valley Bank, (“SVB”).

Business Combination

On October 15, 2020, FS Development Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (“FSDC”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among it, FSG Merger Sub Inc., Old Gemini and the

78

Shareholders Representative named therein. On February 5, 2021, FSDC consummated the previously announced merger and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Business Combination”). As a result of the Business Combination, FSDC was renamed Gemini Therapeutics, Inc., and Old Gemini became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gemini. In connection with the Business Combination, the stockholders of Old Gemini exchanged their interests in Gemini for shares of Common Stock. In addition, Old Gemini’s existing equity incentive plan was terminated; awards issued under Old Gemini’s existing equity incentive plan continue in full force and effect on the same terms and conditions as were previously applicable to such awards, subject to adjustments to the exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise based on the final conversion ratio calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Lastly, in connection with the Business Combination, certain investors purchased an aggregate of $95.1 million of Common Stock in a private placement of public equity (the “PIPE Financing”). We received net proceeds of approximately $199.5 million consisting of proceeds of the PIPE Financing and proceeds remaining in FSDC’s trust account. Gemini will continue to operate under the Old Gemini management team, led by chief executive officer Jason Meyenburg.

Risks & liquidity

To date, we have not had any products approved for sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales and do not expect to do so for several years, if at all. All of our programs are still in preclinical or clinical development. Our ability to generate product revenue will depend on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates.

We have incurred significant operating losses since inception. Our net losses were $41.4 million and $40.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $112.8 million. We expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future and expect our research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses to continue to increase. We expect that our expenses and capital requirements will increase substantially in connection with our ongoing development activities, particularly if and as we:

79

Furthermore, as a result of the Business Combination, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including significant legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company.

As a result, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, which may include collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of private or public equity or convertible debt securities, existing ownership interests will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaborations or other strategic transactions with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or drug candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements or arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as and when needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization of one or more of our product candidates or delay our pursuit of potential in-licenses or acquisitions.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when or if we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. Even if we are able to generate product sales, we may not become profitable. If we fail to become profitable or are unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, we may be unable to continue our operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce or terminate our operations.

We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception and as of December 31, 2020, had an accumulated deficit of $112.8 million and have not yet generated revenues. In addition, we expect to continue to incur significant and increasing expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. We believe that our cash resources, inclusive of the funds received upon the closing of the Business Combination, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2023. Our belief with respect to our ability to fund operations is based on estimates that are subject to risks and uncertainties. If actual results are different from our estimates, we may need to seek additional funding sooner that would otherwise be expected. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding on acceptable terms, if at all. Our future viability beyond that point is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital to finance our operations. For additional information on the Business Combination, please read Note 16, Subsequent Events, to the financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

COVID-19 pandemic

In March 2020, the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The COVID-19 outbreak and government measures taken in response have had a significant impact, both direct and indirect, on businesses and commerce, as worker shortages have occurred; supply chains have been disrupted; facilities and production have been suspended; and demand for certain goods and services, such as medical services and supplies, has spiked, while demand for other goods and services, such as travel, has fallen. The future progression of the outbreak and its effects on our business and operations are uncertain.

We and our third-party contract manufacturers (“CMOs”), contract research organizations (“CROs”) and clinical sites may experience disruptions in supply of product candidates and/or procuring items that are essential for our research and development activities, including raw materials used in the manufacturing of our product candidates, medical and laboratory supplies used in our clinical trials or preclinical studies or animals that are

80

used for preclinical testing, in each case, for which there may be shortages because of ongoing efforts to address the outbreak.

Additionally, we have enrolled, and will seek to enroll, patients in our clinical trials at sites located both in the United States and internationally. Most of our clinical trial sites are in areas affected by COVID-19 and, as a result, our trials are being impacted. We cannot predict how long or impactful these delays may be on our clinical trials. In addition, even if sites are initiating and actively recruiting, we may face difficulties recruiting or retaining patients in our clinical trials if patients are affected by the virus or are unable to or are fearful of visiting or traveling to our clinical trial sites because of the outbreak. Prolonged delays or closure to enrollment in our trials or patient discontinuations could have a material adverse impact on our clinical trial plans and timelines. In addition, our ability to collect and verify data requested of patients enrolled in our clinical trials during this pandemic is being impacted to varying degrees by COVID-19. Clinical trial data collection continues for each of our clinical trials but at a slower pace, and with challenges and interruptions in data collection, including, in some instances, disruption of collection of complete study data. This could have a material adverse impact on our data quality and analysis. In addition, clinical trial sites may be unable or unwilling to initiate a new trial if factors relevant to the pandemic render this impracticable. These COVID-19 related issues may prolong the time required to conduct our ongoing clinical trials and/or impact the quality of the data obtained from one or more of these studies.

To date, our financial condition and operations have not been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we cannot at this time predict the specific extent, duration or full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our financial condition and operations, including ongoing and planned clinical trials and other operations required to support those clinical trials and research and development activities to advance our pipeline. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and related governmental advisories and restrictions. These developments and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial markets and the overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are impacted for an extended period, our results and operations may be materially adversely affected and may affect our ability to raise capital.

Term loan

On February 8, 2019, we entered into a term loan facility of up to $10.0 million (the “Term Loan”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”). The proceeds were used for general corporate and working capital purposes. Concurrent with the Term Loan, we issued SVB warrants to purchase 70,000 shares of our Series A preferred stock at an exercise price of $1.19. At the closing of the Business Combination, these warrants were automatically exercised for 15,257 shares of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the Company had $10.0 million in principal outstanding under the Term Loan.

The Term Loan is governed by a loan and security agreement, dated February 8, 2019, between Gemini and SVB (the “SVB Loan Agreement”). The SVB Loan Agreement provided for two separate tranches under which we could borrow. The first tranche for $7.5 million was available as single term loan advance until January 31, 2020. The second tranche was also available until January 31, 2020 as single term loan advance for $2.5 million and required that we meet a certain milestone event. On April 18, 2019, we borrowed $7.5 million under the first tranche, and on December 17, 2019, we borrowed $2.5 million under the second tranche having satisfied the milestone requirement.

The Term Loan matures on January 1, 2023 and accrues interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the greater of 3.75% or the prime rate minus 1.5% (1.75% as of December 31, 2020). The Term Loan provides for monthly interest-only payments until February 2021. Thereafter, payments are payable in equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued and unpaid interest. We may prepay the Term Loan in whole upon 5 days’ prior written notice to SVB. Any such prepayment of the Term Loan is subject to a prepayment charge as follows: for

81

a prepayment made on or prior to February 8, 2020, 2.0% of the then outstanding principal amount; for a prepayment made after February 8, 2020, but on or prior to February 8, 2021, 1.0% of the then outstanding principal amount; and for a prepayment made after February 8, 2021 but prior to the loan maturity date, 0.5% of the then outstanding principal balance. Amounts outstanding during an event of default are payable upon SVB’s demand and will accrue interest at an additional rate of 5.0% per annum of the past due amount outstanding.

At the end of the loan term (whether at maturity, by prepayment in full or otherwise), we are required to pay a final end of term charge to SVB in the amount of 4.0% of the aggregate original principal amount advanced by SVB.

Convertible promissory notes

On August 21, 2020, we entered into a purchase agreement with existing investors to issue $14.0 million in convertible promissory notes, (the “Notes”). The Notes accrue simple interest at 8% per annum and mature on February 21, 2021. The Notes served as a bridge loan prior to the PIPE Financing in connection with the proposed merger of Old Gemini and FSDC. The Notes were intended to automatically convert into common stock shares issued in the PIPE Financing at a per share conversion price equal to the lowest per share price paid for such shares of common stock in the PIPE Financing. Per the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Notes were amended to allow for the principal and interest to be converted into Series B Preferred Stock at the per share conversion price of $1.3513 prior to the closing of the Business Combination. On February 5, 2021, the Notes converted into 10,741,883 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a per share conversion price of $1.3513.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenue

We have not generated any revenue since inception and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the near future, if at all. If our development efforts are successful and we commercialize our products, or if we enter into collaboration or license agreements with third parties, we may generate revenue in the future from product sales, as well as upfront, milestone and royalty payments from such collaboration or license agreements, or a combination thereof.

Operating expenses

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for research activities, including drug discovery efforts and the development of our product candidates. We expense research and development costs as incurred, which include:

82

We recognize external development costs as incurred. Any advance payments that we make for goods or services to be received in the future for use in research and development activities are recorded as prepaid expenses. Such amounts are expensed as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed, or until it is no longer expected that the goods will be delivered or the services rendered. We estimate and accrue for the value of goods and services received from CROs and other third parties each reporting period based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information provided to us by our service providers. This process involves reviewing open contracts and purchase orders, communicating with our personnel to identify services that have been performed on our behalf and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for the service when we have not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of actual costs.

We do not track our research and development expenses on a program-by-program basis. Our direct external research and development expenses consist primarily of external costs, such as fees paid to outside consultants, CROs, CMOs and research laboratories in connection with our preclinical development, process development, manufacturing and clinical development activities. We do not allocate employee costs, costs associated with our discovery efforts, laboratory supplies, and facilities, including depreciation or other indirect costs, to specific programs because these costs are deployed across multiple programs and, as such, are not separately classified. We use internal resources primarily to conduct our research and discovery as well as for managing our preclinical development, process development, manufacturing and clinical development activities. These employees work across multiple programs and, therefore, we do not track their costs by program.

Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. As a result, we expect that our research and development expenses will increase substantially over the next several years as we continue our existing, and commence additional, planned clinical trials for GEM103, as well as conduct other preclinical and clinical development, including submitting regulatory filings for our other product candidates. We also expect our discovery research efforts and related personnel costs will increase and, as a result, we expect our research and development expenses, including costs associated with stock-based compensation, will increase above historical levels. In addition, we may incur additional expenses related to milestone and royalty payments payable to third parties with whom we may enter into license, acquisition and option agreements to acquire the rights to future product candidates.

At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the preclinical and clinical development of any of our product candidates or when, if ever, material net cash inflows may commence from any of our product candidates. The successful development and commercialization of our product candidates is highly uncertain. This uncertainty is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development and commercialization, including the uncertainty of the following:

83

A change in any of these variables with respect to any of our programs would significantly change the costs, timing and viability associated with that program.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, including salaries and related benefits, travel and stock-based compensation for personnel in executive, business development, finance, human resources, legal, information technology and administrative functions. General and administrative expenses also include direct and allocated facility-related costs as well as insurance costs and professional fees for legal, patent, consulting, investor and public relations, accounting and audit services. We expense general and administrative costs as incurred.

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we increase our headcount to support the continued development of our product candidates. We also anticipate that we will incur significantly increased accounting, audit, legal, regulatory, compliance and director and officer insurance costs as well as investor and public relations expenses associated with operating as a public company. We also expect to incur additional intellectual property-related expenses as we file patent applications to protect innovations arising from our research and development activities. Additionally, if and when we believe a regulatory approval of a product candidate appears likely, we anticipate an increase in payroll and other employee-related expenses as a result of our preparation for commercial operations, especially as it relates to the sales and marketing of that product candidate.

Other income (expense)

Interest expense

Interest expense consists of interest accrued on our term loan entered into on February 8, 2019 and the Notes, including the accretion of the beneficial conversion feature discount recognized on the issuance date of the Notes.

Interest income

Interest income consists of income earned on our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.

Change in fair value of warrant liability

In February 2019, in conjunction with our term loan, we issued warrants to purchase 70,000 shares of our Series A preferred stock. We account for, and classify, these warrants as a liability on our balance sheet because the

84

warrants are freestanding financial instruments. We remeasure this liability to fair value at each reporting date and recognize changes in the fair value of the warrant liability in our statements of operations. At the closing of the Business Combination, these warrants were automatically exercised for 15,257 shares of Common Stock.

Provision for income taxes

We have not recorded any significant amounts related to income tax expense, we have not recognized any reserves related to uncertain tax positions, nor have we recorded any income tax benefits for the majority of our net losses we have incurred to date or for our research and development tax credits.

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or our tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and for loss and credit carryforwards, which are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, the amount and timing of which are uncertain. Valuation allowances are provided, if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2019, and 2020, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against all of our net deferred tax assets based on our evaluation of all available evidence. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction and state jurisdictions and may become subject to income tax audit and adjustments by related tax authorities. Our tax return period for U.S. federal income taxes for the tax years since 2017 remain open to examination under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service and state jurisdictions. We record reserves for potential tax payments to various tax authorities related to uncertain tax positions, if any. The nature of uncertain tax positions is subject to significant judgment by management and subject to change, which may be substantial. These reserves are based on a determination of whether and how much a tax benefit taken by us in our tax filings or positions is more likely than not to be realized following the resolution of any potential contingencies related to the tax benefit. We develop our assessment of uncertain tax positions, and the associated cumulative probabilities, using internal expertise and assistance from third-party experts. As additional information becomes available, estimates are revised and refined. Differences between estimates and final settlement may occur resulting in additional tax expense. Potential interest and penalties associated with such uncertain tax positions is recorded as a component of our provision for income taxes. To date, no amounts are being presented as an uncertain tax position.

85

Results of operations

The following table summarizes our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 (in thousands):

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses were $34.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $28.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease of $6.3 million was primarily due to a decrease in external research and development costs because of our strategic decision to focus our product development efforts on GEM103. In addition, we slowed our research and development spending due to the impact of COVID-19 and reduced employee headcount year over year as a result of our initiative to preserve cash. We do not currently track expenses on a program-by-program basis.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease of $0.9 million was primarily due to a year over year reduction in employee headcount and employee-related expenses such as travel and benefits as a result of our initiative to preserve cash as well as a reduction in and related expenses such as travel and benefits due to the impact of COVID-19.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase of $6.5 million is primarily due to the interest expense recognized on the Notes, which includes $5.9 million from the accretion of the beneficial conversion feature discount recognized on the issuance date of the Notes.

Interest income

Interest income was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to less than $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in interest income primarily relates to lower cash balances and lower interest rates during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019.

Change in fair value of warrant liability

The change in fair value of warrant liability reflects a de minimis reduction of the fair value of the Series A preferred stock warrant.

Liquidity and capital resources

Sources of liquidity and capital

Since inception, we have not generated any revenue from any product sales or any other sources and have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from our operations. We have not yet commercialized any of our product candidates and do not expect to generate revenue from sales of any product candidates for several years, if at all. We have funded our operations to date primarily with proceeds from the sale of preferred stock, borrowings under convertible promissory notes and borrowings under loan agreements. Through December 31, 2020, we have received gross cash proceeds of $76.0 million from sales of our preferred stock, gross cash proceeds of $16.9 million from borrowings under convertible promissory notes and $10.0 million of cash proceeds from our term loan with SVB. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, we received net proceeds of approximately $199.5 million.

As of December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4.5 million. We have incurred operating losses and experienced negative operating cash flows since inception, and we anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for at least the foreseeable future. Our net losses totaled $41.4 million and $40.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $112.8 million.

Continued cash generation is highly dependent on our ability to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaboration arrangements and strategic transactions. Due to our significant research and development expenditures, we have experienced periods of negative cash flows from operations as we have yet to generate any revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we experienced a loss from operations and negative cash flows from operations. We anticipate to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future, particularly as we move forward with our clinical-stage programs. We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales for several years, if at all.

Until required for use in our business, we typically invest our cash in investments that are highly liquid, readily convertible to cash with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. We attempt to minimize the risks related to our cash and cash equivalents by maintaining balances in accounts only with accredited financial institutions and, consequently, we do not believe we are subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with ordinary commercial banking relationships.

Cash flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 (in thousands):

Operating activities

We do not generate any cash inflows from our operating activities. Our cash flows from operating activities are significantly influenced by our use of cash for operating expenses and working capital requirements to support the business. We have historically experienced negative cash flows from operating activities as we invested in developing our platform, drug discovery efforts and related infrastructure.

87

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we used cash in operating activities of $38.5 million, reflecting a net loss of $41.4 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we used cash in operating activities of $32.7 million, reflecting a net loss of $40.8 million, offset by non-cash charges of $7.8 million and a net change of $0.3 million in our operating assets and liabilities. The non-cash charges primarily consist of $5.9 million accretion of the discount on the Notes, $1.0 million of stock-based compensation expense and $0.6 million of non-cash interest expense. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets, partially offset by an increase in deferred offering costs.

Investing activities

During the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, we used cash in investing activities of $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, consisting primarily of purchases of laboratory equipment.

Financing activities

During the year ended December 31, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $23.2 million, consisting primarily of $13.3 million of proceeds from the issuance of our Series B preferred stock and $10.0 million of gross proceeds from our term loan.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $34.2 million, consisting primarily of $20.1 million of proceeds from the issuance of our Series B preferred stock and $14.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of the Notes.

Funding requirements

Our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, primarily related to our research and development activities. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable, accrued expenses and prepaid expenses.

We expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we advance the preclinical activities and clinical trials of our product candidates. In addition, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including significant legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. The timing and amount of our operating expenditures will depend largely on our ability to:

88

Identifying potential product candidates and conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials is a time consuming, expensive and uncertain process that takes years to complete, and we may never generate the necessary data or results required to obtain marketing approval and achieve product sales. In addition, our product candidates, if approved, may not achieve commercial success. Our commercial revenues, if any, will be derived from sales of products that we do not expect to be commercially available for many years, if ever. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funds to achieve our business objectives.

As of December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4.5 million. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents as well as the net proceeds received of approximately $199.5 million following the closing of the Business Combination on February 5, 2021, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2023. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect.

Until such time as we can generate substantial product revenue, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect rights as a common stockholder. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or drug candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research, product development or future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market drug candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

For additional information on risks associated with our substantial capital requirements, please read the section titled “Risk Factors” included in the Business Combination Registration Statement.

Working capital

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of biologic product candidates, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our working capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on and could increase significantly as a result of many factors, including:

89

Contractual obligations and commitments

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2020 and the effects that such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods (in thousands):

We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with CMOs, CROs and other third parties for the manufacture of our product candidates and to support clinical trials and preclinical research studies and testing. These contracts are generally cancelable at any time by us following a certain period after notice. Payments due upon cancellation consist only of payments for services provided or expenses incurred, including noncancelable obligations of our service providers, up to the date of cancellation. These payments are not included in the preceding table as the amount and timing of such payments are unknown or uncertain as of December 31, 2020.

Contract research and manufacturing organizations

We recorded accrued expenses of approximately $3.1 million in our balance sheet for expenditures incurred by CROs and CMOs as of December 31, 2020.

90

Tax-related obligations

To date, we have not recognized any reserves related to uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2020, we had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, we believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Accrued research and development expenses

As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, we are required to estimate our accrued research and development expenses. This process involves reviewing open contracts and purchase orders, communicating with our applicable personnel to identify services that have been performed on our behalf and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for the service when we have not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of actual costs. The majority of our service providers invoice us in arrears for services performed, on a pre-determined schedule or when contractual milestones are met; however, some require advance payments. We make estimates of our accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date in the financial statements based on facts and circumstances known to us at that time. We periodically confirm the accuracy of the estimates with the service providers and make adjustments if necessary. Examples of estimated accrued research and development expenses include fees paid to:

We base our expenses related to preclinical studies and clinical trials on our estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to quotes and contracts with multiple research institutions and CROs that supply, conduct and manage preclinical studies and clinical trials on our behalf. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation, vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. There may be instances in which payments made to our vendors will exceed the level of services provided and result in a prepayment of the expense. Payments under some of these contracts depend on factors such as the successful enrollment of patients and the completion of clinical trial milestones. In accruing service fees, we estimate the time period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from the estimate, we adjust the accrual or the prepaid expense accordingly. Although we do not expect our estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, our understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in reporting amounts that are too high or too

91

low in any particular period. To date, our estimated accruals have not differed materially from actual costs incurred.

Stock-based compensation

Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, we measured all stock-based awards granted to employees, directors and non-employees based on their fair value on the date of the grant and recognize the corresponding compensation expense of those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. We granted stock options and restricted stock awards that are subject to either service or performance-based vesting conditions. Compensation expense related to awards to employees and non-employees with performance-based vesting conditions is recognized based on the grant date fair value over the requisite service period using the accelerated attribution method to the extent achievement of the performance condition is probable. We estimated the probability that certain performance criteria will be met and do not recognize compensation expense until it is probable that the performance-based vesting condition will be achieved.

Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, we classified stock-based compensation expense in our statements of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.

Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, we estimated the fair value of each stock option grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which uses as inputs the fair value of our common stock and assumptions we make for the volatility of our common stock, the expected term of our stock options, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the expected term of our stock options and our expected dividend yield.

Determination of the fair value of common stock

Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, there was no public market for our common stock and, therefore, the estimated fair value of our common stock was determined by our most recently available third-party valuations of common stock. These third-party valuations were performed in accordance with the guidance outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Accounting and Valuation Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. Our common stock valuations were prepared using an option pricing method, or OPM, or a hybrid method, both of which used market approaches to estimate our enterprise value. The OPM treats common stock and preferred stock as call options on the total equity value of a company, with exercise prices based on the value thresholds at which the allocation among the various holders of a company’s securities changes. Under this method, the common stock has value only if the funds available for distribution to stockholders exceeded the value of the preferred stock liquidation preferences at the time of the liquidity event, such as a strategic sale or a merger. A discount for lack of marketability of the common stock is then applied to arrive at an indication of value for the common stock. The hybrid method is a probability-weighted expected return method, or PWERM, where the equity value in one or more scenarios is calculated using an OPM. The PWERM is a scenario-based methodology that estimates the fair value of our common stock based upon an analysis of our future values, assuming various outcomes. The common stock value is based on the probability-weighted present value of expected future investment returns considering each of the possible outcomes available as well as the rights of each class of stock. The future value of the common stock under each outcome is discounted back to the valuation date at an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate and probability weighted to arrive at an indication of value for the common stock. These third-party valuations were performed at various dates, which resulted in valuations of our common stock of $0.28 per share as of July 31, 2017, $0.31 per share as of August 28, 2018, $0.41 per share as of November 2, 2018, $0.47 per share as of September 26, 2019, $0.55 per share as of January 21, 2020, and $1.66 per share as of September 20, 2020.

92

In addition to considering the results of these third-party valuations, our board of directors considered various objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our common stock as of each grant date, including:

The assumptions underlying these valuations represented management’s best estimate, which involved inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if we had used significantly different assumptions or estimates, the fair value of our common stock and our stock-based compensation expense could have been materially different.

Once a public trading market for our common stock has been established for a sufficient period of time subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination, it will no longer be necessary for our board of directors to estimate the fair value of our common stock in connection with our accounting for granted stock options and other such awards we may grant, as the fair value of our common stock will be determined based on the quoted market price of our common stock.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We do not have during the years presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 2 to our financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks

We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily relate to changes in interest rates.

Our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 consisted of cash and a money market fund account. Because of the short-term nature of our money market fund, a sudden change in market interest rates would not be expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

93

As of December 31, 2020, the principal amount of our term loan was $10.0 million. The following table is an estimate of our interest expense based upon our floating rate term loan that could result from hypothetical interest rate changes, based on debt levels as of December 31, 2020:

We are not currently exposed to significant market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates; however, we have contracted with and may continue to contract with foreign vendors. Our operations may be subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in the future.

Inflation would generally affect us by increasing our cost of labor and clinical trial costs. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020.

Emerging growth company and smaller reporting company status

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. We may take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company under Section 107 of the JOBS Act, which provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act for the implementation of new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to avail ourselves of the extended transition period and, therefore, while we are an emerging growth company we will not be subject to new or revised accounting standards the same time that they become applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, unless we choose to early adopt a new or revised accounting standard.

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, or (ii) our annual revenues exceed $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30.

The foregoing description of the Lockup Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Lockup Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—FSDC

On June 30, 2020, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate 2,928,750 Founders Shares for a total purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share. In July 2020, the Sponsor transferred 30,000 Founders Shares to each of Mr. Carey, Dr. Dubin and Dr. Pakianathan. On August 11, 2020, FSDC effected a 1:1.05 stock split of FSDC Class B Common Stock, resulting in the Sponsor holding 2,928,750 Founders Shares and there being an aggregate of 3,018,750 Founders Shares outstanding. The number of Founders Shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of the FSDC IPO would be a maximum of 12,075,000 FSDC Class A shares if the underwriters’ over-allotment option would be exercised in full, and therefore that such Founders Shares would represent 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (excluding the Private Placement Shares) after such offering.

The Sponsor purchased 441,500 Private Placement Shares at a price of $10.00 per share, or $4,415,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the FSDC IPO.

Until the Closing, FSDC utilized office space at 600 Montgomery Street, Suite 4500, San Francisco, California 94111 from the Sponsor. Following the closing of the FSDC IPO, FSDC paid the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of its management team pursuant to the terms of an administrative services agreement between FSDC and the Sponsor.

The Sponsor and FSDC’s executive officers and directors were reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on FSDC’s behalf, in connection with the completion of an initial business combination, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. FSDC’s audit committee reviewed on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers, directors or its or their affiliates.

97

The Sponsor loaned FSDC $200,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the FSDC IPO. These loans were non-interest bearing, unsecured and were due at the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the closing of the FSDC IPO. These loans were fully repaid by FSDC on August 14, 2020.

In connection with the Business Combination, as part of the PIPE Financing, an affiliate of Sponsor had entered into a subscription agreement to purchase 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $10 per share in a private placement. In connection with the Closing, the affiliate of Sponsor assigned to the Sponsor its obligation to purchase its shares under the subscription agreement so that the Sponsor purchased such shares.

On August 11, 2020, FSDC entered into a registration rights agreement (the “prior registration rights agreement”) with respect to the Founders Shares and Private Placement Shares. The holders of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that FSDC register such securities. In addition, the holders had certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of FSDC’s initial business combination. FSDC bears the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. As part of the prior registration rights agreement, certain holders of registrable securities agreed to a lock-up period of one year from the Closing of the Business Combination.

In connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, the FSDC Investors and certain other stockholders entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with FSDC and Gemini that replaced the prior registration rights agreement.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the FSDC Investors entered into support agreements with FSDC, Old Gemini and Sponsor. Under such support agreements, each such stockholder agreed to vote, at any meeting of the stockholders of FSDC , and in any action by written consent of the stockholders of FSDC, all of such stockholder’s Class B Common Stock of FSDC (i) in favor of (A) the Merger Agreement, (B) certain proposals requiring approval by the stockholders of the Company in connection with Business Combination, and (C) the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Company Support Agreement, and (ii) in favor of any other matter reasonably necessary to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the approval of such stockholder proposals. In addition, such support agreements prohibit each such stockholder from, among other things, selling, assigning or transferring any Class B Common Stock of FSDC held by such stockholder or taking any action that would prevent or disable such stockholder from performing its obligations under the support agreement.

In addition, in connection with the Closing of the Merger, the Sponsor and certain other stockholders entered into a Voting Agreement with Gemini. For more information on the Voting Agreement, see “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Voting Agreement.”

Policies for Approval of Related Party Transactions

Gemini’s board of directors reviews and approves transactions with directors, officers and holders of 5% or more of its capital stock and their affiliates, each a related party. Prior to the Business Combination, the material facts as to the related party’s relationship or interest in the transaction are disclosed to its board of directors prior to their consideration of such transaction, and the transaction is not considered approved by Gemini’s board of directors unless a majority of the directors who are not interested in the transaction approve the transaction. Further, when stockholders are entitled to vote on a transaction with a related party, the material facts of the related party’s relationship or interest in the transaction are disclosed to the stockholders, who must approve the transaction in good faith.

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

At the Closing, Gemini adopted a written related person transaction policy that sets forth the following policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions.

A “Related Person Transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship in which Gemini or any of its subsidiaries was, is or will be a participant, the amount of which involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A “Related Person” means:

100

The audit committee of Gemini’s board of directors will have the responsibility for reviewing and approving any related person transactions. In reviewing any related person transaction, the audit committee will take into account, among other factors that it deems appropriate, whether the related person transaction is on terms no less favorable to Gemini than terms generally available in a transaction with an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the Related Person’s interest in the related person transaction.

Classified Board of Directors

Gemini’s board of directors consists of seven members following the Closing of the Business Combination. In accordance with the filed Charter, immediately after the Closing, the board of directors was divided into three classes. At each annual general meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following the election. The directors are divided among the three classes as follows:

Gemini expects that any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the

104

directors. The division of the board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control.

Director Independence

The rules of the Nasdaq require that a majority of the our Board be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an executive officer or employee of us or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the issuer’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgement in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Board has determined that each individual who serves on the Board, other than Mr. Meyenburg and Dr. Tananbaum, qualifies as an independent director under Nasdaq listing standards.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Gemini’s board of directors has the authority to appoint committees to perform certain management and administration functions. Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The composition and responsibilities of each committee are described below. Members will serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by the board of directors. The charters for each of these committees will be available on Gemini’s website at www.geminitherapeutics.com. Information contained on or accessible through Gemini’s website is not a part of this prospectus, and the inclusion of such website address in this prospectus is an inactive textual reference only.

Audit Committee

Gemini’s audit committee consists of Dr. Carl Gordon, David Lubner and Jason Rhodes. The Board has determined each member of the audit committee is independent under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, or the Listing Standards, and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act. The chairperson of the audit committee is David Lubner. The Board has determined that David Lubner is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of SEC regulations. The Board has also determined that each member of the audit committee has the requisite financial expertise required under the applicable requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market. In arriving at this determination, the board of directors has examined each audit committee member’s scope of experience and the nature of their employment in the corporate finance sector.

The primary purpose of the audit committee is to discharge the responsibilities of the board of directors with respect to our accounting, financial, and other reporting and internal control practices and to oversee our independent registered accounting firm. Specific responsibilities of our audit committee include:

105

Compensation Committee

The compensation committee consists of Jean George, Dr. Tuyen Ong, and Dr. Jim Tananbaum. The Board has determined each member is a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and an “outside director” as that term is defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. The Board has determined each member of the compensation committee, other than Dr. Jim Tananbaum, is independent under the Listing Standards. The Listing Standards provide that, under limited and exceptional circumstances, a director who is not a current officer or employee (or a family member of an officer or employee) of our company, but who does not otherwise meet the independence criteria, (i) may serve as a member of compensation committee if such membership is in the best interests of our company and our shareholders and (ii) such member does not serve longer than two years. The Board has elected to rely on this limited exception in appointing Dr. Jim Tananbaum as a member of the compensation committee. In making this election, the Board considered Dr. Tananbaum’s extensive experience in the life sciences industry and the marketplace for life science executives in making this decision. The chairperson of the compensation committee is Dr. Tuyen Ong. The primary purpose of the compensation committee is to discharge the responsibilities of the board of directors to oversee its compensation policies, plans and programs and to review and determine the compensation to be paid to its executive officers, directors and other senior management, as appropriate.

Specific responsibilities of the compensation committee will include:

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Jean George, Jason Rhodes and Dr. Jim Tananbaum. The Board has determined each member of the nominating and corporate governance committee, other than Dr. Jim Tananbaum, is independent under the Listing Standards. The Listing Standards provide that, under limited and exceptional circumstances, a director who is not a current officer or employee (or a family member of an officer or employee) of our company, but who does not otherwise meet the independence criteria, (i) may serve as a member of nominating and corporate governance committee if such membership is in the best

106

interests of our company and our shareholders and (ii) such member does not serve longer than two years. The Board has elected to rely on this limited exception in appointing Dr. Jim Tananbaum as a member of the nominating and corporate governance committee. In making this election, the Board considered Dr. Tananbaum’s extensive experience in the life sciences industry and in serving on the board of directors of numerous organizations. The chairperson of our nominating and corporate governance committee is Jean George.

Specific responsibilities of our nominating and corporate governance committee include:

Role of Our Board of Directors in Risk Oversight

One of the key functions of our board of directors is informed oversight of our risk management process. Our board of directors administers this oversight function directly through our board of directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our board of directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our board of directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, and our audit committee will have the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures. The audit committee will also have the responsibility to review with management the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken, monitor compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and review the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Our nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for periodically evaluating our company’s corporate governance policies and systems in light of the governance risks that our company faces and the adequacy of our company’s policies and procedures designed to address such risks. Our compensation committee will assess and monitor whether any of our compensation policies and programs is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our company.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Gemini has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of its employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on Gemini’s website at www.geminitherapeutics.com. Information contained on or accessible through such website is not a part of this prospectus, and the inclusion of the website address in this prospectus is an inactive textual reference only. Gemini intends to disclose any amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or any waivers of its requirements, on its website to the extent required by the applicable rules and exchange requirements.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OF GEMINI

Executive compensation overview

Historically, our executive compensation program has reflected our growth and development-oriented corporate culture. To date, the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and President and our other executive officers identified in the 2020 Summary Compensation Table below, who we refer to as the named executive officers, has consisted of a combination of base salary, bonuses and long-term incentive compensation in the form of restricted common stock awards and incentive stock options. Our named executive officers who are full-time employees, like all other full-time employees, are eligible to participate in our retirement and health and welfare benefit plans. As we transition from a private company to a publicly traded company, we will evaluate our compensation values and philosophy and compensation plans and arrangements as circumstances merit. At a minimum, we expect to review executive compensation annually with input from a compensation consultant. As part of this review process, we expect the board of directors and the compensation committee to apply our values and philosophy, while considering the compensation levels needed to ensure our executive compensation program remains competitive with our peers. In connection with our executive compensation program, we will also review whether we are meeting our retention objectives and the potential cost of replacing a key employee.

Gemini’s named executive officers are Jason Meyenburg, its President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Scott Lauder, its Chief Technology Officer, and Dr. Marc Uknis, its Chief Medical Officer, each of whom is an executive officer of Gemini. The following table presents information regarding the total compensation awarded to, earned by, and paid to our named executive officers for services rendered to us in all capacities for 2020.

Narrative to summary compensation table

Base salaries

We use base salaries to recognize the experience, skills, knowledge and responsibilities required of all our employees, including our named executive officers. Base salaries are reviewed annually, typically in connection with our annual performance review process, and adjusted from time to time to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience. At the Closing, the new employment agreements for each of Mr. Meyenburg, Dr. Uknis and Dr. Lauder became effective. Pursuant to the

108

new employment agreements, the annual base salaries for each of Mr. Meyenburg, Dr. Uknis and Dr. Lauder are $515,000, $415,000 and $411,650, respectively.

Bonuses

We pay cash bonuses to reward our executives for their performance over the fiscal year, based on goals established by our board of directors. Pursuant to the new employment agreements, the target bonus for Mr. Meyenburg was equal to 50% percent of his base salary. The target bonus for Dr. Lauder was 40% percent of his base salary. The target bonus for Dr. Uknis was 40% percent of his base salary.

Equity compensation

Although we do not yet have a formal policy with respect to the grant of equity incentive awards to our executive officers, we believe that equity grants provide our executives with a strong link to our long-term performance, create an ownership culture and help to align the interests of our executives and our stockholders. In addition, we believe that equity grants with a time-based vesting feature promote executive retention because this feature incentivizes our executive officers to remain in our employment during the vesting period. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we granted options to purchase shares of our common stock to Mr. Meyenburg, Dr. Uknis and Dr. Lauder, as described in more detail in the “Outstanding equity awards at 2020 fiscal year-end” table.

Employment arrangements and severance agreements with our named executive officers

Outstanding equity awards at 2020 fiscal year-end

The following table sets forth information concerning outstanding equity awards held by each of our named executive officers as of December 31, 2020. Unless otherwise noted, all equity awards set forth in the table below were granted under our 2017 Plan.

Employee benefit and equity compensation plans

The Equity Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board on October 15, 2020 and became effective on February 4, 2021. The Equity Incentive Plan replaced the 2017 Plan as Old Gemini’s board of directors has determined not to make additional awards under that plan following the consummation of the Business Combination. The Equity Incentive Plan allows us to make equity-based incentive awards to our officers, employees, directors and consultants. The Board anticipates that providing such persons with a direct stake in Gemini will assure a closer alignment of the interests of such individuals with those of Gemini and its stockholders, thereby stimulating their efforts on Gemini’s behalf and strengthening their desire to remain with Gemini.

We have initially reserved shares of Common Stock (the “Initial Limit”) for the issuance of awards under our Equity Incentive Plan This limit is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other

112

change in our capitalization. Our Equity Incentive Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance thereunder will automatically increase on January 1, 2022 and each January 1 thereafter by 4% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31 or such lesser number of shares determined by the administrator of the Equity Incentive Plan.

The shares we issue under our Equity Incentive Plan will be authorized but unissued shares or shares that we reacquire. The shares of Common Stock underlying any awards that are forfeited, cancelled, held back upon exercise or settlement of an award to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by us prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of stock, or are otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) under our Equity Incentive Plan will be added back to the shares of Common Stock available for issuance under our Equity Incentive Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued in the form of incentive stock options under the Equity Incentive Plan shall not exceed the Initial Limit. Based upon a price per share of $10.00, the maximum aggregate market value of the Common Stock that could potentially be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan as of the Closing is $42,643,410.

The grant date fair value of all awards made under our Equity Incentive Plan and all other cash compensation paid by us to any non-employee director in any calendar year shall not exceed $750,000; provided, however, that such amount shall be $1,000,000 for the calendar year in which the applicable non-employee director is initially elected or appointed to the board.

Our Equity Incentive Plan will be administered by our compensation committee. Our compensation committee has full power to select, from among the individuals eligible for awards, the individuals to whom awards will be granted, to make any combination of awards to participants, and to determine the specific terms and conditions of each award, subject to the provisions of our Equity Incentive Plan. The administrator may delegate to a committee consisting of one or more officers the authority to grant awards to employees who are not subject to the reporting and other provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and not members of the delegated committee, subject to certain limitations and guidelines.

Persons eligible to participate in our Equity Incentive Plan are those full or part-time officers, employees, non-employee directors, and consultants of Gemini as selected from time to time by our compensation committee in its discretion. Following the Closing, approximately 42 individuals will be eligible to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan, which includes approximately 5 officers, 26 employees who are not officers, 6 non-employee directors, and consultants.

Our Equity Incentive Plan permits the granting of both options to purchase Common Stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code and options that do not so qualify. Options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan will be non-qualified options if they do not qualify as incentive stock options or exceed the annual limit on incentive stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of Gemini and its subsidiaries. Non-qualified options may be granted to any persons eligible to awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. The exercise price of each option will be determined by the administrator but may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant or, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a ten percent stockholder, 110% of such share’s fair market value. The term of each option will be fixed by our administrator and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. The administrator will determine at what time or times each option may be exercised, including the ability to accelerate the vesting of such options. The exercise price of a stock option may not be reduced after the date of the option grant without stockholder approval, other than to appropriately reflect changes in our capital structure.

Upon exercise of options, the option exercise price may be paid in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the administrator or by delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of Common Stock that are beneficially owned by the optionee free of restrictions or were purchased in the open market. Subject to applicable law, the exercise price may also be delivered by a broker pursuant to irrevocable instructions to the broker from the optionee. In addition, non-qualified options may be exercised using a “net

113

exercise” arrangement that reduces the number of shares issued to the optionee by the largest whole number of shares with fair market value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price.

Our compensation committee may award stock appreciation rights subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. Stock appreciation rights entitle the recipient to cash or shares of Common Stock equal to the value of the appreciation in our stock price over the exercise price. The exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The term of each stock appreciation right will be fixed by our compensation committee and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. Our compensation committee will determine at what time or times each stock appreciation right may be exercised.

Our compensation committee may award restricted shares of Common Stock and restricted stock units to participants subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. These conditions and restrictions may include the achievement of certain performance goals and/or continued employment with us through a specified vesting period. Our compensation committee may also grant shares of Common Stock that are free from any restrictions under our Equity Incentive Plan. Unrestricted stock may be granted to participants in recognition of past services or for other valid consideration and may be issued in lieu of cash compensation due to such participant. The administrator may grant dividend equivalent rights to participants that entitle the recipient to receive credits for dividends that would be paid if the recipient had held a specified number of shares of Common Stock.

Our compensation committee may grant cash bonuses under our Equity Incentive Plan to participants, subject to the achievement of certain performance goals.

Our Equity Incentive Plan provides that upon the effectiveness of a “sale event,” as defined in our Equity Incentive Plan, an acquirer or successor entity may assume, continue or substitute outstanding awards under our Equity Incentive Plan. To the extent that awards granted under our Equity Incentive Plan are not assumed or continued or substituted by the successor entity, upon the effective time of the sale event, such awards shall terminate. In such case, except as may be otherwise provided in the relevant award agreement, all awards with time-based vesting conditions or restrictions shall become fully vested and exercisable or nonforfeitable as of the effective time of the sale event, and all awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals may become vested and exercisable or nonforfeitable in connection with a sale event in the compensation committee’s discretion or to the extent specified in the relevant award certificate. In the event of such termination, Gemini may make or provide for payment, in cash or in kind, to participants holding options and stock appreciation rights equal to the difference between the per share consideration payable in the sale event and the exercise price of the options or stock appreciation rights (provided that, in the case of an option or stock appreciation right with an exercise price equal to or greater than the per share consideration payable in such sale event, such option or stock appreciation right shall be cancelled for no consideration). Gemini shall also have the option to make or provide for a payment, in cash or in kind, to grantees holding other awards in an amount equal to the per share consideration payable in such sale event multiplied by the number of vested shares under such award.

Our board of directors may amend or discontinue our Equity Incentive Plan and our compensation committee may amend or cancel outstanding awards for purposes of satisfying changes in law or any other lawful purpose, but no such action may materially and adversely affect rights under an award without the holder’s consent. Certain amendments to our Equity Incentive Plan require the approval of our stockholders.

No awards may be granted under our Equity Incentive Plan after the date that is ten years from the effective date of our Equity Incentive Plan. No awards under our Equity Incentive Plan have been made prior to the date hereof.

401(k) Plan

We maintain a tax-qualified retirement plan, or the 401(k) Plan, that provides eligible U.S. employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax advantaged basis.
