Novo Nordisk
In February 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement (the “Novo License Agreement”) Concerning Glucokinase Activator Project with Novo Nordisk A/S (the “Novo Nordisk”) whereby the Company obtained an exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable license under certain Novo Nordisk intellectual property rights to discover, develop, manufacture, have manufactured, use and commercialize products for the prevention, treatment, control, mitigation or palliation of human or animal diseases or conditions. As part of this license grant, the Company obtained certain worldwide rights to Novo Nordisk’s GKA program, including rights to preclinical and clinical compounds such as cadisegliatin. This agreement was amended in May 2019 to create milestone payments applicable to certain specific and non-specific areas of therapeutic use. Under the terms of the amended Novo License Agreement, the Company has potential developmental and regulatory milestone payment obligations totaling up to $6.0 million for approval of a product for the treatment of type 1 diabetes, $50.5 million for approval of a product for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, or $115.0 million for approval of a product in any other indication. The Company may also be obligated to pay an additional $75.0 million in potential sales-based milestones, as well as royalty payments, at mid-single digit royalty rates, based on tiered sales of commercialized licensed products. As of March 31, 2026, the Company does not have any commercialized licensed products.
