For the year ended December 31, 2020, we completed three material collaborations, which we adjusted for within our Non-GAAP R&#38;D expense. In the four years preceding 2020 we completed only two such transactions with a material upfront payment, only one of which involved the purchase of common equity at a premium. Transactions of this magnitude are infrequent.</font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Significant collaboration and licensing arrangements often represent the implementation or update of our business strategy or the accessing of a new technology not available internally and, therefore, we do not consider material upfront payments to be normal and recurring transactions. </font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">&#8226;</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:13.8pt;text-decoration:underline">Distorting in their impact</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the material upfront payments and premiums paid for the acquisition of related common stock that we adjusted for were approximately 63% and 47%, respectively, of our total GAAP R&#38;D expense for the periods. The magnitude of these transactions in 2020 was unusual for us. Adjusting for these nonrecurring payments is useful for allowing readers of our financial statements to meaningfully compare R&#38;D expense and trends across multiple reporting periods.</font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">&#8226;</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:13.8pt;text-decoration:underline">Upfronts differ from normal recurring R&#38;D expenses</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">. Collaborative and licensing relationships are strategic, and we enter into them to access technology or discoveries that we cannot reliably or economically replicate. Because a material upfront payment is a negotiated amount and based on the fair value of the rights conveyed, usually no clear or consistent relationship exists between the amount of the upfront and the normal and recurring R&#38;D expenses incurred by the collaboration partner prior to entering into the collaboration arrangement. They are usually discrete payments, not tied to measurable events, made at the onset of a relationship that may last many years. These material upfront payments are most similar to in-process research and development. </font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">New collaboration and licensing arrangements, in some cases, involve our making an equity investment in the counterparty, which equity is typically purchased at a premium to the market price. The variability and unpredictability of amounts associated with equity security transactions, including both the premium paid and the unrealized gains and losses experienced in subsequent periods, results in their exclusion from our operational goals and our annual or updated budgets and forecasts. We do not consider owning equity interests to be a core part of our business strategy. As such, we exclude both premiums or discounts on our equity security investments and unrealized and realized gains and losses on these securities from our Non-GAAP Financial Measures, as we do not believe that these components of income or expense have a direct correlation to our ongoing or future core business operations. </font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Based on the above factors, to show measures that we believe better reflect our core business operations, we have implemented a policy to adjust for material upfront payments and equity investments associated with significant collaboration and licensing arrangements. This policy reflects the way senior management views the business and the nature of the payments. We do not believe that material upfront payments or premiums paid for the acquisition of related common stock reflect normal, recurring, expenses of our business and we do not believe that our policy causes the presentation of our Non-GAAP Financial Measures to be misleading.</font></div><div style="height:54pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">3</font></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="min-height:54pt;width:100%"><div><font><br></font></div></div><div style="margin-top:9pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;text-decoration:underline">Comment&#58;</font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">2.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Please provide a tabular reconciliation for each of your non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP R&#38;D and non-GAAP SG&#38;A pursuant to Rule 100(a)(2) of Regulation G and Item 10(e)(i)(b) of Regulation S-K.
