Gubra A/S Collaboration and License Agreement

On December 23, 2024, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement, or the Gubra Agreement, with Gubra pursuant to which the parties will perform research and discovery activities for the development of a potential novel long-acting GLP-1 receptor antagonist, under the oversight of a joint research committee. The collaboration provides the Company an exclusive license to develop, manufacture, commercialize and otherwise exploit any development candidate and product(s) arising in the performance of activities under the agreement.

The Company made an immaterial upfront payment in January 2025, which became due upon the effective date of the Gubra Agreement. Since the payment was made for the use of Gubra’s intellectual property and research and development services and there is no alternative use, the Company recorded the upfront payment to research and development expense on the consolidated statements of operations in 2024. Gubra is eligible to receive an additional $53.5 million upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory and commercial milestones, as well as tiered royalties on future sales from any products that result from the agreement. Certain milestones were met and paid in the first quarter of 2026, specifically the selection and handover of the development candidate, which provided a milestone payment of $4 million to Gubra.
