BiBo Collaboration Agreement

On April 4, 2024, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”) with BiBo Biopharma Engineering Co., Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“BiBo”), pursuant to which BiBo will construct a production facility specifically designed to supply the Company with pegozafermin for commercialization, if approved (the “Production Facility”).

Pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement, BiBo will build the Production Facility at BiBo’s facility in the Lin-gang Special Area of China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone to manufacture the bulk active ingredient (the “Drug Substance”) required to produce pegozafermin for commercial supply. The platform is expected to provide the Company with manufacturing capacity to meet its commercial needs based on current projections. Under the Collaboration Agreement, the Company will pay BiBo an aggregate of $135.0 million toward the construction of the Production Facility (collectively, the “Payment”), of which 45% of the Payment will be payable in the third quarter of 2024. The remainder of the Payment will become payable upon achievement of certain specified milestones, of which up to an additional approximately 45% of the Payment could become payable within the next 12 months, depending on the timing of achievement of certain milestones. If the actual costs of the Production Facility are substantially greater than the estimated budget, the parties will negotiate a means of allocating such cost overruns.
