| Commitments and Contingencies | 9. Commitments and Contingencies Operating Lease The Company is obligated under an operating lease, as amended, for commercial real estate located in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, the Company’s headquarters. On February 28, 2023, the Company entered into the first amendment (the “Lease Amendment”) to its existing lease agreement, dated July 7, 2021 and which originally commenced on October 1,2021. The lease continues through June 30, 2026. On March 10, 2026, the Company entered into a new lease agreement (the “Yardley Lease”) for its office headquarters commencing July 1, 2026 ("Commencement Date") and continuing through November 30, 2031. Accordingly, the Company will record a right of use asset and lease liability for the Yardley Lease on the Commencement Date. 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 $46.3 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. In addition to these milestones, the Company will owe PARI a royalty of three-and one-half percent (3.5%) based on net sales. Milestone Payments The following table summarizes manufacturing commitments and contingencies as of the period indicated (in thousands):
The milestone commitments disclosed in the table above reflect the activities that have (i) not been met or incurred; (ii) not been remunerated; and (iii) not accrued, as the activities are not deemed probable or reasonably estimable, as of March 31, 2026. 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 clinical 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 $51.3 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. Royalty Purchase and Sale Agreement On October 29, 2025, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with funds managed by RTW Investments, LP (the “Purchaser”). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser has agreed to pay the Company $75.0 million (the “Purchase Price”) upon approval of MOLBREEVI by the FDA on or before March 31, 2027 (the date of such payment, the "Closing Date") and subject to satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, in exchange for a true sale of assigned interests, including the right to receive royalty payments equal to a percentage of Net Sales (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of MOLBREEVI in the U.S. The royalty rate is tiered, with the payments ranging from 7.0% to 1.0% of Net Sales in each calendar year, with the 7.0% tier increasing to 9.5% for a calendar year if the prior year’s Net Sales do not achieve a specified level. The royalty payments commence in the first calendar quarter in which there is a commercial sale of MOLBREEVI in the United States and end upon the receipt by the Purchaser of $187.5 million (the “Maximum Payment”). The Purchase Agreement includes a buy-back option that may allow the Company to pay a specified amount up to the Maximum Payment to terminate the Purchase Agreement and all obligations in the event of certain changes of control within two years of receipt of the Purchase Price. Unless otherwise agreed with the Purchaser, the Company is required to use a portion of the Purchase Price to repay all outstanding indebtedness. The Purchase Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness (which restrictions are eliminated after the achievement by the Company of a specified amount of Net Sales), and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature, in each case subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Under the Purchase Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Company (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) the Company has the option to prepay (“Company Call”) and the Purchaser has the option to demand the prepayment (“Buyer Put”) of a specified amount and terminate the Purchase Agreement. The revenue-based repayments to the Buyer (“Revenue-Based Payment”) will be established on a schedule of royalty rates as a factor of Annual Net Sales, including applicable ratchets in the definition of a Royalty Rate, until the Royalty Cap is reached. The Company has identified the embedded features in the Purchase Agreement and concluded that the Buyer Put Option and the Company Call Option are embedded derivatives that must be bifurcated under ASC 815-10-15-83 and ASC 815-15-25-1, Derivatives and Hedging. Accordingly, the Company has recorded the royalty agreement derivative as of the date of issuance and determined its fair value to be approximately $0.4 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, which is reflected in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and subject to periodic fair value remeasurement. The Company has also capitalized the amount as deferred issuance costs, subject to straight line amortization up until the Closing Date, as reflected in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and similarly subject to periodic fair value remeasurement. In addition, direct and incremental Company issuance costs as well as reimbursed Buyer expenses have been capitalized by the Company and amortized over the expected term of the arrangement. Upon the Purchase Agreement closing, the remaining balance will be applied against the proceeds received and subsequently amortized using the effective interest method. Risk Management The Company maintains various forms of insurance that the Company's management believes are adequate to reduce the exposure to certain risks associated with operating the Company’s business to an acceptable level. |
