12. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company, from time to time, may be party to various litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not presently subject to any pending or threatened litigation that it believes, if determined adversely to

the Company, individually, or taken together, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business or financial results.

Other

The Company is party to various agreements, principally relating to licensed technology, that require future payments relating to milestones that may be met in subsequent periods, or royalties on future sales of specified products.  See Note 10 for discussion of these arrangements.  Additionally, the Company is party to various contracts with CROs and CMOs that generally provide for termination on notice, with the exact amounts in the event of termination to be based on the timing of the termination and the terms of the agreement.

Based  on  the Company’s  current  development  plans as of December 31, 2023, the Company does not expect to make milestone payments due to third parties during  the  next  12  months  from  the  filing  of  this  Annual  Report on  Form 10-K, in connection with our license agreements. These milestones generally become  due  and  payable  upon achievement of such milestones or sales and achievement of development milestones.  When the  achievement  of  these  milestones or sales have not occurred, such contingencies are not recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
