The statement of work had a term through September 6, 2026, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Master Services Agreement and the statement of work. On July 29, 2023, a second statement of work was entered into with the same vendor for certain subscription services providing prescription market data access to the Company. The fees under the second statement of work totaled approximately $800,000, and the term was through July 14, 2025.

During 2023, the Company recognized a termination fee of approximately $1.4 million included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Subsequently during 2024, the Company agreed with the vendor to pay a reduced termination fee of approximately $0.9 million and recorded net credits of $0.5 million for the difference in the termination fee related to this contract during the year ended December 31, 2024, which is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

On March 23, 2023, Proteomedix entered into a license agreement with LabCorp, pursuant to which LabCorp has the exclusive right to develop and commercialize Proclarix, and other products developed by LabCorp using Proteomedix’s intellectual property covered by the license, in the United States (“Licensed Products”). In consideration for granting LabCorp an exclusive license, Proteomedix received an initial license fee of in the mid-six figures upon signing of the contract. Additionally, Proteomedix is entitled to royalty payments of between 5% and 10% on the net sales recognized by LabCorp of any Licensed Products plus milestone payments as follows:

  

  after the first sale of Proclarix as a laboratory developed test, LabCorp will pay an amount in the mid-six figures,

  

  after LabCorp achieves a certain amount in the low seven figures in net sales of Licensed Products, LabCorp will pay Proteomedix an amount in the low seven figures,

  

  after a certain amount in the mid-seven figures in net sales of Licensed Products, LabCorp will pay Proteomedix an amount in the low seven figures.

  

The total milestone payments available under the terms of this contract are $2.5 million. An additional $0.5 million was paid to Proteomedix as an initial license fee in 2023.

 

LabCorp is wholly responsible for the cost, if any, of research, development and commercialization of Licensed Products in the United States but has the right to offset a portion of those costs against future royalty and milestone payments. Additionally, LabCorp may deduct royalties or other payments made to third parties related to the manufacture or sale of Licensed Products up to a maximum amount of any royalty payments due to Proteomedix. There was no such activity under the agreement for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

The license agreement and related royalty payment provisions expire during 2038, which approximates the expiration of the last patent covered by the license agreement. LabCorp has the right to terminate the license agreement for any reason by providing 90 days written notice to Proteomedix. Either party may terminate the license agreement due to a material reach of the terms of the license agreement with 40 days’ notice, provided such breach is not cure within the foregoing 30-day period. Finally, Proteomedix may terminate the license agreement with 60 days’ notice in the event LabCorp fails to make any undisputed payment due, provided that LabCorp does not remit the payment within the foregoing 60-day period.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the sale of Licensed Products by LabCorp under the license agreement has not commenced. The Company has sold product to LabCorp for their use in internal trials of the test.
