Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Although it has not finalized its full financial results for the year ended
December 31, 2021, Precision BioSciences, Inc. (the "Company") expects to report
that it had approximately $144 million in cash and cash equivalents as of
December 31, 2021. This estimate is unaudited and preliminary and does not
present all information necessary for an understanding of the Company's
financial condition as of December 31, 2021 and its results of operations for
the three months and year ended December 31, 2021. The Company's management also
believes that, as of January 7, 2022, the Company's existing cash and cash
equivalents, expected operational receipts and available credit will allow the
Company to continue its operations to mid-2023. The completion of the Company's
year-end accounting procedures, including execution of the Company's internal
control over financial reporting, and audit of the Company's financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 by the Company's independent
registered public accounting firm is ongoing and could result in changes to the
information set forth above.
