Subsequent Events | 17. Subsequent Events The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence for certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated as required. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events and determined that there are no material recognized or unrecognized subsequent events requiring disclosure, other than as disclosed within the above notes to these consolidated financial statements, and except as described below. License Agreement On January 4, 2024, the Comapny entered into a license agreement and share issuance agreement with LG Chem, Ltd. (“LGC”). Under the terms of the license agreement, the Company obtained worldwide rights to LGC’s proprietary compound LB54640 and will assume sponsorship of two ongoing LGC Phase 2 studies designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and weight loss efficacy of LB54640. ​ At closing, we paid LGC $40 million in cash and issued shares of our common stock with an aggregate value of $20 million. The shares were issued at a per share price equal to the ten-day volume weighted average closing price for our common stock, calculated as of the trading day immediately prior to January 4, 2024. We also agreed to make a $40 million payment in cash 18 months after the effective date of the license agreement. ​ In addition, under the terms of the license agreement, we agreed to pay LGC up to $205 million in cash upon achieving various regulatory and sales milestones based on net sales of LB54640. In addition and subject to the completion of Phase 2 development of LB54640, the Company has agreed to pay LGC royalties of between low-to-mid single digit percent of net revenues from its MC4R portfolio, including LB54640, commencing in 2029 and dependent upon achievement of various regulatory and indication approvals, and subject to customary deductions and anti-stacking. Royalties may further increase to a low double digit percent royalty, though such royalty would only be applicable on net sales of LB54640 in a region if LB54640 is covered by a composition of matter or method of use patent controlled by LGC in such region and the Company’s MC4R portfolio is not covered by any composition of matter or method of use patents controlled by the Company in such region. Such increased rate would only apply on net sales of LB54640 for the limited remainder of the royalty term in the relevant region. ​
