On January 8, 2024, the Company entered into the Progenics APA with Progenics, an affiliate of Lantheus, for a purchase price of $8.0 million. On March 1, 2024, the Company closed on the transactions contemplated by the Progenics APA. Also on January 8, 2024, the Company entered into the Option Agreement with Lantheus whereby Lantheus was granted an exclusive option to negotiate an exclusive, worldwide, royalty- and milestone-bearing right and license to [212Pb]VMT-α-NET, the Company’s clinical-stage alpha therapy developed for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors. If good-faith negotiations fail, Lantheus has a one-year right to reenter negotiations if a third party offers to purchase or license the [212Pb]VMT-α-NET program. Additionally, Lantheus has a right to co-fund the IND application, enabling studies for early-stage therapeutic candidates targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen and gastrin-releasing peptide receptor and, prior to IND filing, a right to negotiate for an exclusive license to such candidates. In consideration of the rights granted by the Company to Lantheus pursuant to the Option Agreement, Lantheus paid to the Company a one-time payment of $28.0 million, subject to certain withholding provisions associated with the closing of the Progenics APA. Under the terms of the Option Agreement, Lantheus also had a right of first offer and last look protections for any third-party merger and acquisition transactions involving the Company for a 12-month period, which expired on January 8, 2025.
