License and Manufacturing Agreement

In November 2023, the Company entered into a trademark license and manufacturing agreement with Vivex Biologics, Inc. (“Vivex”) to sell its CYGNUS Dual (“Dual”) and CYGNUS Matrix (“Matrix”) products, with the option to license the VIA Matrix (“VIA”) products. In March 2024, the Company exercised the option to license VIA, and accordingly in July 2024, entered into the first amendment to the trademark license and manufacturing agreement (together with the original agreement, the “Vivex Agreement”).

The Company paid an upfront licensing fee to Vivex to sell Dual and Matrix, and also agreed to pay a fixed milestone payment for Dual in the event that its average sales price (“ASP”) is published by certain government agencies for a specified period of time, which the Company determined was probable. Additionally, the Company pays a low double-digit royalty on the Net Sales of Dual and VIA, and a high single-digit royalty on the Net Sales of Matrix, respectively, during the royalty term, as defined in the agreement with Vivex. The royalty term is commensurate with the initial term of the contract and will continue for each subsequent renewal period. The initial term of the agreement expires on December 31, 2026 and can be renewed for up to five additional one-year terms.

The Company recorded $5,000 for the payment of the upfront licensing fee and $5,000 for the payment of the VIA option and milestone within prepaid and other current assets and other assets. These amounts are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the arrangement, which the Company determined to be three years, commensurate with the initial term of the contract.

Royalties

In October 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with a third party. Under the license agreement, the Company is required to pay royalties based on a percentage of net sales of the licensed product that occur, after December 31, 2017, through the expiration of the underlying patent in October 2026, subject to minimum royalty payment provisions.

The Company recorded total royalty expense of $5,022 and $4,947 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, within selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Legal Matters

In conducting its activities, the Company, from time to time, is subject to various claims and also has claims against others. In management’s opinion, the ultimate resolution of such claims would not have a material effect on the financial position, operating results or cash flows of the Company. The Company accrues for these claims when amounts due are probable and estimable.
