Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 8. Commitments and Contingencies Leases The Company’s commitments under its leases are described in Note 13 Lease Obligations, to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to the Company’s leases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. License Agreements The Company is party to various agreements, principally relating to licensed technology, that require future payments relating to milestones not met as of June 30, 2025 or royalties on future sales of specified products that have not yet occurred as of June 30, 2025. Contingent Value Rights In connection with the acquisition of Pionyr Immunotherapeutics, Inc. (“Pionyr”) on August 4, 2023, the Company issued one CVR to former Pionyr stockholders for each share of Pionyr stock held at closing (each, a “Pionyr CVR,” and collectively, the “Pionyr CVRs”). Each Pionyr CVR entitles the holder to receive 50% of net proceeds, outside of royalties, for any potential monetization of Pionyr legacy programs within two years. The Company accounts for the Pionyr CVRs as a contingent liability. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not record a liability for contingent payments that would be payable under the Pionyr CVRs as receipt of such payments was not considered probable or estimable. Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings. The Company is not currently a party to any litigation or legal proceedings that, in the opinion of management, are probable to have a material adverse effect on our business. In connection with the proposed merger, two actions have been filed against the Company and its board of directors in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, County of New York, captioned Smith v. Ikena Oncology, Inc., et al., No. 653576/2025 (filed June 12, 2025) and Kent v. Ikena Oncology, Inc., et al., No. 653588/2025 (filed June 13, 2025) (collectively, the “Complaints”). The Complaints allege that the defendants filed or caused to be filed a materially incomplete and misleading registration statement with the SEC and asserts claims under New York common law for negligent misrepresentation and concealment and negligence. In addition, the Company and its board of directors have received five additional demands from purported stockholders seeking additional disclosures in the registration statement (collectively, the “Demands”). The Company cannot predict the outcome of the Complaints or the Demands. The Company believes that the Complaints and the Demands are without merit, and the Company and the individual defendants intend to vigorously defend against the Complaints and the Demands and any subsequently filed similar actions. If additional similar complaints are filed or demands are received, absent new or significantly different allegations, the Company will not necessarily disclose such additional filings or demands. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. |
