On May 10, 2023, the Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware against a former CMO alleging breach of contract. The Company alleged in its complaint that the former CMO breached the Master Clinical Supply Agreement (“MCSA”). The Company’s complaint sought monetary damages and the return of equipment and materials that the Company owned. On July 20, 2023, the same former CMO filed an answer and amended counterclaims to the Company’s May 10, 2023 complaint (the “Litigation”). Due to the legal proceeding and termination of agreement with this manufacturer, the Company recognized $1.6 million loss on impairment of long-lived assets during the year-ended December 31, 2023.

On November 2, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement, related to the Litigation, pursuant to which each of the Company and the former CMO provided broad mutual releases of all claims relating to or arising out of the MCSA, including without limitation, all claims brought in the Litigation or that could have been brought in the Litigation. The Company and the former CMO jointly filed a Stipulation of Dismissal with prejudice relating to the Litigation. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company paid the remaining liability of $0.4 million of the Stipulation of Dismissal with prejudice to the former CMO.
