The information contained in this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 23, 2020, the Governor of the State of Washington issued a Proclamation directing all residents to stay home, except as needed to maintain continuity of operations of essential critical infrastructure sectors and additional sectors as may be designated as critical to protect public health and well-being. In accordance with this Proclamation, the Governor has designated certain workers, including workers “conducting research critical to COVID-19 response” and workers developing “biotechnology therapies,” as “Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers” exempt from the stay-at-home directive.

Accordingly, our research laboratory in Bothell, Washington remains open for essential operations while meeting COVID-19 quarantine challenges. Our scientists are also able to continue working remotely and we remain committed to meeting our corporate and development milestones throughout the year.

This Item 8.01 updates and supplements Item 1.

Except for matters noted above, no other information in the Form 10-K is being updated by this Current Report on Form 8-K for events or developments that occurred subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K.
