Manufacturing and Other Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has entered into a number of contracts for the manufacture of its product candidate, MOLBREEVI. Some of these, as enumerated below entail various royalties and manufacturing and development payments.

FujiFilm Diosynth (“Fuji”)

In February 2024, the Company entered into a master services agreement with Fuji to provide development and manufacturing services related to the active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) for the Company’s MOLBREEVI product candidate in accordance with the terms of separate scope of work agreements and to perform a manufacturing campaign for process performance qualification of the API of MOLBREEVI. The total estimated accumulated fees the Company will have paid this manufacturer for services under that master services agreement and related work orders and subsequent change orders is 32.1 million. Amounts payable for future services are subject to various cancellation fees ranging from ten percent (10%) to one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of the respective activity based upon the timing of the commencement date and status of the activity.

GEMABIOTECH SAU (“GEMA”)

Under a manufacture and supply agreement, as amended, with GEMA related to the API for MOLBREEVI, the Company must make certain payments to GEMA upon achievement of the milestones outlined in the table set forth below.

Additionally, upon first receipt of marketing approval by the Company from a regulatory authority in a country for a product containing the API supplied by GEMA for therapeutic use in humans and ending the earlier of (i) ten (10) years thereafter or (ii) the date a biosimilar of such product is first sold in such country, the Company shall pay GEMA a royalty equal to low-single digits of the net sales in that country.

Additionally, the Company is subject to a purchase requirement under which for ten years following the date of receipt of approval by a regulatory authority of the first regulatory filing for the marketing and sale of the first product containing the API supplied by GEMA in any country, the Company will purchase from GEMA the API required to produce a percentage of such product it sells each year (the “Purchase Requirement”); provided, however, that the Purchase Requirement will no longer apply if (i) the price charged by GEMA exceeds a certain price charged by an alternative supplier, (ii) there is a shortage of supply, or (iii) GEMA at any time fails to materially fulfill a purchase order of the Company.

PARI Pharma GmbH (“PARI”)

The Company is also subject to certain contingent milestone payments, disclosed in the table set forth below, payable to PARI, the manufacturer of the proprietary nebulizer used to administer MOLBREEVI.

Contract Research

As part of its development of MOLBREEVI for the treatment of autoimmune PAP, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) with Parexel International (IRL) Limited (“Parexel”) pursuant to which Parexel will provide contract research services related to clinical trials. Contemporaneously with entering the MSA in January 2021, a work order was executed with Parexel, under which they provide services related to the IMPALA-2 trial. From inception of the original work order and subsequent change orders through trial close-out activities, the Company will have paid Parexel service fees, pass-through expenses, and investigator fees estimated to be approximately $49.3 million over the course of the IMPALA-2 clinical trial.

In the second quarter of 2024, the Company initiated an open-label, multicenter clinical trial of MOLBREEVI in pediatric subjects with autoimmune PAP ("IMPACT") under a separate work order with Parexel. Pursuant to the IMPACT trial, Parexel has the opportunity to earn up to approximately $5.6 million in various milestone payments primarily dependent upon patient enrollment, site management, project oversight and the compliance with defined study protocols.
