Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On January 23, 2024, Sagimet Biosciences Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it estimates that its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in marketable securities were approximately $94.9 million as of December 31, 2023. This unaudited, preliminary amount has been prepared by and is the responsibility of management. This amount is based upon information available to management as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and subject to completion of financial closing procedures that could result in changes to the amount. Furthermore, this amount does not present all information necessary for an understanding of the Company’s financial condition and liquidity as of December 31, 2023. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to this preliminary financial data and, accordingly, Deloitte & Touche LLP does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The Company’s actual results for the year ended December 31, 2023 will be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and may differ materially from the above estimate.

 

The information contained in this Item 2.02 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
