Collaboration and License Agreements | Collaboration and License Agreements UCB Option and License Agreement In December 2022, the Company entered into an Option and License Agreement (“the Collaboration Agreement”) with UCB Biopharma SRL (“UCB”) for the discovery of small molecule therapeutics as potential treatments of KCNT1-related epilepsies. Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, the Company has agreed to perform general biology-related research services as part of a mutually agreed upon research plan in exchange for a $5.0 million upfront payment. In addition, the Company provided UCB an exclusive option to in-license global development and commercialization rights to any resulting KCNT1 small molecule development candidate identified as part of the research plan. If UCB exercises its option to in-license global development and commercialization rights, the Collaboration Agreement stipulates that UCB will assume research, development, manufacturing and commercialization responsibilities and costs. Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, the Company was eligible to receive an option fee and future success-based development and commercialization milestone payments, totaling up to $98.5 million, in addition to tiered royalties on net sales of any resulting products from the Collaboration Agreement. The Company concluded that UCB is a customer, and as such, the arrangement falls within the scope of Topic 606. At the commencement of the Collaboration Agreement, the Company identified one performance obligation, which was to perform the research services for UCB. The Company determined the transaction price to be $5.0 million, comprised of the upfront payment it received. The option provided to UCB was determined not to be a material right. The Company recognized revenue for its research services performance obligation over time using an input method over the duration of the research services. In December 2024, UCB exercised its option to in-license global development and commercialization rights for a KCNT1 development candidate as part of the Collaboration Agreement. Upon notice of the exercise, the Company recognized the $6.0 million option exercise fee and the $2.6 million of remaining collaboration revenue associated with the $5.0 million up front payment as collaboration revenue within the December 31, 2024 consolidated statement of operations, as the Company had no further research service obligations under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement. The Company did not recognize any collaboration revenue associated with this Collaboration Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, there was no deferred revenue recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, related to the Collaboration Agreement in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2024, there was no deferred revenue recorded in the consolidated balance sheet. Tenacia Collaboration and License Agreement On January 4, 2024, the Company entered into an exclusive collaboration and license Agreement (“the License Agreement”) with Tenacia Biotechnology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Tenacia”), a China-based portfolio company of Bain Capital, which provides Tenacia an exclusive license to use certain intellectual property for the development and commercialization of ulixacaltamide and products containing ulixacaltamide in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Tenacia is solely responsible for the development and commercialization under the arrangement, with the exception of the associated manufacturing. The Company also entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“the Stock Purchase Agreement”) with BCPE Tenet Holdings Cayman, Ltd. (“BCPE”), a related party of Tenacia. Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, the Company was entitled to an up-front, non-refundable and non-creditable cash payment of $5.0 million, net of certain tax withholdings. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive $264.0 million in success-based development and commercialization milestone payments as well as tiered royalties on net sales. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and sold 443,253 shares of its common stock to BCPE at a price per share of $22.5605 for aggregate gross proceeds of $10.0 million. The per share price was based on a 20% premium over the 30-day volume-weighted average price. Under the terms of the License Agreement, the Company granted to Tenacia an exclusive license to use certain intellectual property for the development and commercialization of ulixacaltamide and products containing ulixacaltamide in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Tenacia is solely responsible for the development and commercialization under the arrangement, with the exception of the associated manufacturing. The Company concluded that the License Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement is a combined arrangement since they were executed at the same time and in contemplation of each other with the same counterparty or a related party thereof and the combined arrangement falls within the scope of Topic 606. The Company’s obligations under the arrangement comprise a single promise, or one performance obligation, related to the exclusive development and commercialization license granted to Tenacia. Total proceeds associated with the combined arrangement at inception were $14.8 million consisting of the following: (i) $10.0 million gross proceeds from the sale of common stock under the Stock Purchase Agreement and (ii) $4.8 million, net of tax, related to the up-front payment under the License Agreement, both of which were received in January 2024. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not achieve any development or sales milestones or earn any royalties under the License Agreement. The Company recorded the common stock sold to BCPE at its issuance date fair value of $38.95 per share, or $17.3 million in the aggregate, which exceeded the proceeds received which were calculated based on the 20% premium over the prior 30-day volume-weighted average price. Accordingly, there is no transaction price allocable to the performance obligation. The Company accounted for the excess of the fair value of the equity securities issued over the total proceeds received as consideration paid to a customer for which no distinct good or service was transferred in exchange. As a result, the transaction gives rise to negative revenue on a cumulative basis in the amount of $2.5 million, which was recorded at the inception of the collaboration and license agreement in research and development expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. For agreements where the licenses are considered separate performance obligations or represent the only performance obligation, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time that the Company effectively grants the license, as the licenses or assignments represent functional intellectual property. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any receivables or deferred revenue related to the arrangement with Tenacia. The Company did not recognize any contract assets related to costs to obtain a contract with a customer or costs to fulfill a contract with a customer through June 30, 2025 because no qualifying costs were incurred. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not recognize any revenue associated with the combined arrangement.
