4. Collaborative Research and Development Agreements

Centessa

On November 24, 2023, we entered into an exclusive license agreement (as amended, the “Centessa Agreement”) with Centessa Pharmaceuticals (UK) Limited (“Centessa”), pursuant to which we acquired the exclusive global development and commercialization rights to a blood dendritic cell antigen 2 (BDCA2) modulator antibody portfolio, including lead asset CBS004 (renamed ANB101), and the related family of antibodies, for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

In connection with the Centessa Agreement, we paid Centessa an up front cash payment of $4.0 million and an additional cash payment of $3.0 million as reimbursement to Centessa for manufacturing costs incurred. There were $0.3 million in transaction

costs incurred. The total transaction amount of $7.3 million was expensed as in-process research and development and classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. We accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition as the set of acquired assets did not constitute a business.

Under the terms of the Centessa Agreement, Centessa may be entitled to receive potential future payments of up to $10.0 million upon the achievement of a certain event-based milestone and would be entitled to receive on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis, a royalty of low single digits on annual net sales of any product in the territory in each calendar year. As of June 30, 2026, achievement of the milestone is not probable and, therefore, we have not recognized a liability for the associated $10.0 million contingent consideration.

Vanda

On January 31, 2025, AnaptysBio entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the “Vanda License Agreement”) with Vanda pursuant to which Vanda was granted an exclusive, global license for the development and commercialization of imsidolimab (IL-36R antagonist mAb), which has completed two registration-enabling global Phase 3 trials, GEMINI-1 and GEMINI-2, evaluating the safety and efficacy of imsidolimab in patients with generalized pustular psoriasis (“GPP”). Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, any and all rights to receive milestone payments under the Vanda License Agreement were transferred to us.

The following milestones are payable under the Vanda License Agreement:
