(a)    Nimbus
The Company previously provided collaboration services for Nimbus Therapeutics, LLC ("Nimbus") under the terms of a master services agreement executed on May 18, 2010, as amended. Collaboration agreements are separate from the transaction that resulted in equity ownership and related fees are paid in cash to the Company. Nimbus was previously recorded as an equity method investment under the hypothetical liquidated book value method, as the entity is a limited liability company and the Company was determined to have significant influence due to the Company's collaboration with Nimbus on a number of drug discovery targets, as well as the Company's level of ownership in Nimbus. During the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company's equity ownership in Nimbus was diluted to the point that the Company no longer has significant influence over the entity. As the Company no longer has significant influence over Nimbus, after June 30, 2023, the equity investment in Nimbus is valued as a non-marketable equity security.
The carrying value of the Nimbus investment was $1,928 as of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company has no obligation to fund Nimbus' losses in excess of its initial investment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported no gain or loss on the Nimbus investment. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company reported an unrealized gain of $2,165 on the Nimbus investment due to the change in accounting method. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company reported a realized gain of $147,322 on
the Nimbus investment, which reflected the total cash distribution the Company was eligible to receive from Nimbus on account of Takeda's acquisition of Nimbus Lakshmi, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nimbus, and its tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor NDI-034858, as well as an unrealized gain of $2,165 on the Nimbus investment due to the change in accounting method.

On August 15, 2024, the Company disposed of its equity stake in Morphic Holding, Inc. ("Morphic") for aggregate consideration of $47,588 in connection with Eli Lilly and Company's acquisition of Morphic. Prior to the disposition of the Morphic investment, the Company accounted for its investment in Morphic at fair value based on the share price of Morphic’s common stock at the measurement date.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported a mark-to-market gain of $19,140 and $23,474, respectively, on the Morphic investment.

In April 2024, the Company purchased 1,416,450 shares of Series C preferred stock of Ajax for $3,000 in cash. The Company has concluded that its equity investment in Ajax should be valued as a non-marketable equity security as the Company does not exercise significant influence over Ajax.

The Company purchased 275,000 American Depository Shares ("ADSs") at $15.00 per ADS in the IPO. Each ADS represents three ordinary shares.
