Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As previously disclosed, in connection with Xilio Development, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xilio Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), entering into an exclusive license agreement with Gilead Sciences, Inc. (“Gilead”), on March 27, 2024, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Gilead pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell up to an aggregate of $25.0 million of the Company’s common stock to Gilead (or at Gilead’s election, prefunded warrants in lieu of shares of common stock) in an initial private placement and up to three additional private placements through March 2025. In March 2024, the Company initially issued and sold 6,860,223 shares of common stock to Gilead at a purchase price of $1.97 per share and received approximately $13.5 million in aggregate gross proceeds, and in April 2024, the Company issued and sold an additional 485,250 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $0.76 per share and a prefunded warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,882,450 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $0.7599 per share underlying such prefunded warrant and received approximately $3.3 million in aggregate gross proceeds.

On December 18, 2024, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 1,759,978 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.04 per share and a prefunded warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,092,816 shares of common stock (collectively, the “Securities”) at a purchase price of $1.0399 per share underlying such prefunded warrant and received approximately $8.2 million in aggregate gross proceeds. Upon the closing of the sale of the Securities, the Company has issued and sold to Gilead an aggregate of approximately $25.0 million in common stock and prefunded warrants to purchase common stock, representing the maximum aggregate investment under the Stock Purchase Agreement.

The prefunded warrants issued in April 2024 and December 2024, respectively, are exercisable any time at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, subject to Gilead not being deemed a beneficial owner of greater than 19.9% of the Company’s common stock upon the exercise of the prefunded warrants.

The issuance and sale of the Securities has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. Based in part upon the representations of Gilead in the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company has relied on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(a)(2) thereof for a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.

The foregoing descriptions of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Prefunded Warrant are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the form of prefunded warrant, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, and incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

From time to time, the Company presents or distributes slide presentations to the investment community to provide updates and summaries of its business. The Company is posting a copy of its current corporate investor presentation to the “Investors & Media” portion of its website at https://ir.xiliotx.com. The Company has included its website address in this Current Report on Form 8-K solely as an inactive textual reference. A copy of the presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is intended to be 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, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Phase 1 Clinical Data for XTX301 (IL-12)

On December 19, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing preliminary data from its ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating XTX101, a tumor-activated IL-12, in patients with advanced solid tumors. The full text of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The information contained on, or accessible through, the websites referenced in the press release is not incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K and should not be considered to be a part hereof.

Financial Guidance

After giving effect to the proceeds from the additional private placement to Gilead on December 18, 2024, and based on the Company’s current operating plans, the Company now anticipates that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the third quarter of 2025.

Announces preliminary Phase 1 data for XTX301, a tumor-activated IL-12, demonstrating an improved tolerability profile over historical data for rhIL-12, with no dose-limiting toxicities

Completed additional private placement with Gilead for purchase of remaining equity investment in connection with XTX301 partnership

WALTHAM, Mass., December 19, 2024 – Xilio Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: XLO), a clinical-stage biotechnology company discovering and developing tumor-activated immuno-oncology therapies for people living with cancer, today announced plans to present initial data from its ongoing Phase 2 trial for vilastobart (XTX101), a tumor-activated, Fc-enhanced, high affinity binding anti-CTLA-4, in combination with atezolizumab (Tecentriq®) in patients with metastatic microsatellite stable colorectal cancer (MSS CRC) at the ASCO Gastrointestinal (ASCO GI) Cancers Symposium in San Francisco, California from January 23-25, 2025. In addition, today the company announced preliminary data from Phase 1 dose escalation for XTX301, an investigational tumor-activated IL-12.

“We are encouraged by the early evidence of responses in patients with cold tumors, including MSS colorectal cancer, reported for the combination of vilastobart and atezolizumab in Phase 1C dose escalation earlier this year, and we look forward to sharing initial Phase 2 data for the combination in MSS CRC at ASCO GI in January,” said Katarina Luptakova, M.D., chief medical officer of Xilio. “In addition, the preliminary Phase 1 data we reported today for XTX301, our tumor-activated IL-12, highlight its promising clinical profile, including no dose-limiting toxicities reported to date and consistent interferon gamma signaling observed throughout treatment cycles.

ASCO GI Presentation Details for Vilastobart (anti-CTLA-4)

Xilio will present initial data from its ongoing Phase 2 trial for vilastobart (XTX101), a tumor-activated, Fc-enhanced, high affinity binding anti-CTLA-4, in combination with atezolizumab (Tecentriq®) in patients with metastatic MSS CRC:

Title: Phase 1/2 study of XTX101, a tumor-activated, Fc-enhanced anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody, in combination with atezolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors and in MSS CRC
Abstract Number: 206
Presentation Date: Saturday, January 25, 2025
Poster Session C: Cancers of the Colon, Rectum, and Anus
Time: 7:00 AM-7:55 AM PST
Location: Moscone West, San Francisco, CA

In November 2024, Xilio presented encouraging initial data from the ongoing Phase 1C dose escalation trial for the combination of vilastobart and atezolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors. For more information, read the press release here.

Preliminary Data from Ongoing Phase 1 Trial for XTX301 (IL-12)

As of the data cutoff date of November 25, 2024, 34 patients with advanced solid tumors had been treated with XTX301 at doses ranging from 5 µg/kg to 60 µg/kg administered once every three weeks (Q3W) or


once every six weeks (Q6W). Patients were generally heavily pre-treated, and approximately 68% of patients received three or more prior lines of anti-cancer therapy.

A maximum tolerated dose has not yet been established. Xilio continues to enroll patients in Phase 1A monotherapy dose escalation and Phase 1B monotherapy dose expansion of its ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial of XTX301 in patients with advanced solid tumors.

In addition, preliminary results as of the data cutoff date showed:

Sustained interferon gamma (IFNɣ) signaling without evidence of tachyphylaxis throughout treatment cycles. Tachyphylaxis has historically limited other IL-12 agents.
Evidence of dose-dependent pharmacology with T cell, natural killer (NK) cell and NKT cell proliferation.
Consistent with the tumor-activated design of XTX301, no measurable activated XTX301 was detected in peripheral circulation across all dose levels and schedules.
Across all dose levels and schedules, no Grade 4 or Grade 5 treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were reported by investigators and no patients experienced a dose limiting toxicity or a dose reduction due to a treatment-related AE.
In addition, across all dose levels and schedules, the majority of treatment-related AEs were Grade 1 or 2 and most commonly consisted of flu-like symptoms, cytokine release syndrome, increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and decreased blood cell counts.

Additional Private Placement with Gilead

On December 18, 2024, Xilio issued and sold an aggregate of approximately $8.2 million in common stock and prefunded warrants to Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead) in an additional private placement pursuant to the stock purchase agreement Xilio entered into with Gilead in March 2024. Upon the closing of the additional private placement, Xilio has issued and sold an aggregate of $25.0 million in common stock and prefunded warrants to Gilead, representing the maximum aggregate investment under the March 2024 stock purchase agreement. After giving effect to the proceeds from the additional private placement with Gilead together with Xilio’s existing cash and cash equivalents, Xilio now anticipates that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the third quarter of 2025.
