Exclusive License Agreement
In December 2022, the Company entered into an exclusive global license agreement with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany (“Merck KGaA”) for the tumor targeting IL 12 fused antibody drug conjugate, M9241 (the “Merck KGaA License Agreement”). Pursuant
to the Merck KGaA License Agreement, the Company agreed to make (i) development and first commercial sales milestone payments totaling up to $11
million upon the achievement of certain milestones, including the dosing of the fifth patient in a Phase 3 trial of the clinical candidate and first commercial sale of the product for a first and second indication in a major market, and (ii) up
to $105 million upon achieving certain aggregate sales levels of the product.
The Company also agreed to pay Merck KGaA a royalty of 10% on aggregate net sales of product as specified in the Merck KGaA License Agreement on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis until the later of: (i) ten years after the first commercial sale of a product in a given country; and (ii) the expiration or invalidation of the licensed patents covering
the compound or product in such country. The royalty rate is subject to reduction in the event that a product is not covered by a valid patent claim, a biosimilar to the compound or the product comes on the market in a particular country, or if
the Company obtains a license to any intellectual property owned or controlled by a third-party which, but for such license would be infringed by making, using or selling the compound.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is currently not a party to, and the Company’s property is not currently the subject of, any material pending legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually or taken together have a material adverse
effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company may be involved, from time to time, in legal proceedings and
claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes that may not be predictable with assurance.
