| Item 4. | Ownership | |
| (a) | Amount beneficially owned:
As of July 13, 2026, (i) Invus Public Equities directly held (x) 2,119,316 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 (the "Shares") of Agenus Inc. (the "Issuer"), (y) 1,110,934 Issuer Series A Warrants, and (z) 1,775,727 Issuer Series B Warrants (together with the Series A Warrants, the "Warrants"), each exercisable for (a) Shares or (b) in lieu thereof, pre-funded warrants to purchase Shares on a one-for-one basis, and (ii) Avicenna Fund directly held (x) 299,947 Shares, (y) 132,847 Series A Warrants and (z) 212,344 Series B Warrants, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (described below). As of July 13, 2026, due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Reporting Persons collectively beneficially owned 4,533,755 Shares, consisting of an aggregate of 2,419,263 Shares and 2,114,492 Warrants, representing 9.99% of the issued and outstanding Shares.
Invus PE Advisors, as the general partner of Invus Public Equities, controls Invus Public Equities and, accordingly, may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares directly held by Invus Public Equities. Global Management, as the managing member of Invus PE Advisors, controls Invus PE Advisors and, accordingly, may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares that Invus PE Advisors may be deemed to beneficially own. Siren, as the managing member of Global Management, controls Global Management and, accordingly, may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares that Global Management may be deemed to beneficially own. Avicenna GP, as the general partner of Avicenna Fund, controls Avicenna Fund and, accordingly, may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares directly held by Avicenna Fund. Ulys, as the managing member of Avicenna GP, controls Avicenna GP and, accordingly, may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares that Avicenna GP may be deemed to beneficially own. Mr. Raymond Debbane, as the managing member of Siren and Ulys, controls Siren and Ulys and, accordingly, may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares that Siren and Ulys may be deemed to beneficially own.
Each of Invus Public Equities and Avicenna Fund is prohibited from exercising the Warrants if, as a result of such exercise, it, together with its affiliates and certain other persons for whom beneficial ownership would be aggregated, would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the total number of Shares then issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise (the "Beneficial Ownership Limitation"), which percentage may be changed at a holder's election upon 61 days' notice to the Issuer. Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of any Shares, the issuance of which would violate such Beneficial Ownership Limitation. | |
| (b) | Percent of class:
As of July 13, 2026, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the percentage of Shares listed on such Reporting Person's cover page. Calculations of the percentage of Shares beneficially owned are based on (i) 41,642,431 Shares outstanding as of May 7, 2026, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2026, (ii) an aggregate of 1,626,015 Shares issued by the Issuer in a private placement that closed on July 15, 2026, as disclosed in the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 13, 2026, plus (iii) 2,114,492 Shares issuable upon exercise of certain of the Warrants, which due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation is the maximum number of Shares that could be issued upon exercise of the Warrants as of the date hereof. %
