Beam Collaboration Agreement — Related Party
The Company was engaged in binding arbitration proceedings with Beam Therapeutics, Inc., or Beam, regarding the parties’ collaboration and license agreement, or the Beam Collaboration Agreement. A dispute arose between the parties following the Company’s March 18, 2025 announcement that it is developing a Prime Editing-based treatment for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, or AATD. On April 16, 2025, Beam filed an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association, or AAA, alleging that the Company has breached the Beam Collaboration Agreement by developing a product for the treatment of AATD and by allegedly not complying with certain obligations to transfer technical information to Beam pursuant to the Beam Collaboration Agreement. Beam also made related claims for trade secret misappropriation and various business torts based on similar allegations. Beam sought both declaratory, injunctive, and monetary relief. On April 18, 2025, the Company filed an arbitration demand with the AAA seeking a declaration that the Company’s AATD program is within our “Field” as defined by the Beam Collaboration Agreement. The arbitrations were consolidated and a hearing was conducted earlier this year.
On July 6, 2026, the Company received a final award, or the Final Award, from the arbitration tribunal, or the Tribunal. In the Final Award, the Tribunal declared that PM647, the Company's development candidate for the treatment of AATD, is within the Company's “Field,” and that the Company therefore did not breach the Beam Collaboration Agreement. Consequently, the Tribunal denied Beam's requests for damages and injunctive relief based on Beam's assertion that Prime breached the Beam Collaboration Agreement. The Tribunal denied the remaining claims brought by Beam and the Company.
