Licenses and collaborative arrangement | 1 5 . Licenses and collaborative arrangement The following is a description of the Group’s significant ongoing collaboration agreements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. License and collaboration agreement with GSK In September 2016, the Group entered into a collaboration, development and license agreement with Tesaro, Inc., a company later acquired by GSK, pursuant to which it obtained an exclusive sublicense under certain patents and know-how of GSK (including such patents and know-how licensed from Merck, Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., and AstraZeneca UK Limited) to develop, manufacture and commercialize GSK’s proprietary PARP inhibitor, niraparib, in China, Hong Kong and Macau for the diagnosis and prevention of any human diseases or conditions (other than prostate cancer). The Group also obtained the right of first negotiation to obtain a license to develop and commercialize certain follow-on compounds of niraparib being developed by GSK in the licensed territory. Under the agreement, the Group agreed not to research, develop or commercialize certain competing products, and the Group also granted GSK the right of first refusal to license certain immuno-oncology assets developed by the Group. In February 2018, the Group entered into an amendment with GSK that eliminated GSK’s option to co-market niraparib in the licensed territory. Under the terms of the agreement, the Group made an upfront payment of $15,000 and one milestone payment of $1,000, and accrued one development milestone payment of $3,500 to GSK. On top of those, if the Group achieves other specified regulatory, development and commercialization milestones, the Group may be additionally required to pay further milestone payments up to $36,000 to GSK. In addition, if the Group successfully develops and commercializes the licensed products, the Group will pay GSK tiered royalties on the net sales of the licensed products, until the later of the expiration of the last-to-expire licensed patent covering the licensed product, the expiration of regulatory exclusivity for the licensed product, or the tenth anniversary of the first commercial sale of the licensed product, in each case on a product-by-product and region-by-region basis. The Group has the right to terminate this agreement at any time by providing written notice of termination to GSK. License and collaboration agreements with MacroGenics Inc.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Group paid an upfront license fee of $25,000 and two milestone payments in total of $4,000 to MacroGenics. The Group also agreed to pay certain development and regulatory-based milestone payments up to an aggregate of $136,000, and tiered royalties at percentage rates for net sales of Margetuximab, tebotelimab and TRIDENT molecule in the territory. The Group has the right to terminate this agreement at any time by providing written notice of termination to MacroGenics. In June 2021, the Group entered into a collaboration and license agreement with MacroGenics, pursuant to which the Group and MacroGenics made four collaboration programs involving up to four immuno-oncology molecules. The first collaboration program covers a lead research molecule that incorporates MacroGenics’ DART platform and binds CD3 and an undisclosed target that is expressed in multiple solid tumors. The second collaboration program will cover a target to be designated by MacroGenics. For both molecules, the Group received commercial rights in Greater China, Japan, and Korea and MacroGenics received commercial rights in all other territories. For the lead molecule, the Group receives an option upon reaching a predefined clinical milestone to convert the regional arrangement into a global 50/50 profit share.
