Note 8. Transactions with BioXcel LLC

The Company entered into a Separation and Shared Services Agreement with BioXcel LLC that took effect on June 30, 2017, as amended and restated thereafter (the “Services Agreement”), pursuant to which BioXcel LLC has agreed to provide the Company with certain intellectual property prosecution and management and research and development activities.

Under the Services Agreement, the Company had an option, exercisable until December 31, 2024, to enter into a separate collaborative services agreement with BioXcel LLC pursuant to which BioXcel LLC shall perform product identification and related services for us utilizing its EvolverAI. The Company agreed to pay BioXcel LLC $18 per month from March 13, 2023 to December 31, 2024 in exchange for this option. This option was not exercised. However, BioXcel LLC continues to perform certain administrative services under the terms of the original contract. We agreed to negotiate any such collaborative services agreement in good faith and to incorporate reasonable market-based terms, including consideration for BioXcel LLC reflecting a low, single-digit royalty on net sales and reasonable development and commercialization milestone payments, provided that (i) development milestone payments shall not exceed $10,000 in the aggregate and not be payable prior to proof of concept in humans and (ii) commercialization milestone payments shall be based on reaching annual net sales levels, be limited to 3% of the applicable net sales level, and not exceed $30,000 in the aggregate. The Company did not exercise its option to renew the agreement for product identification and related services utilizing BioXcel LLC’s EvolverAI. Subsequent to December 31, 2024 no development activity has been carried out by BioXcel LLC and none is contemplated.
