Collaboration and License Agreements Collaboration and License Agreements
UCB Option and License Agreement
In December 2022, the Company entered into an Option and License Agreement (“the Collaboration Agreement”) with UCB Biopharma SRL (“UCB”) for the discovery of small molecule therapeutics as potential treatments of KCNT1-related epilepsies. Effective May 31, 2026, the Collaboration Agreement terminated and the Company regained full global development and commercialization rights to its KCNT1 program. Neither party has any further rights or obligations under the Collaboration Agreement, including with respect to option fees, milestone payments and royalties, and no termination payment was due to or from either party.
Tenacia Collaboration and License Agreement
On January 4, 2024, the Company entered into an exclusive collaboration and license Agreement (“the Tenacia License Agreement”) with Tenacia Biotechnology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Tenacia”), a China-based portfolio company of Bain Capital, which provides Tenacia an exclusive license to use certain intellectual property for the development and commercialization of ulixacaltamide and products containing ulixacaltamide in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Tenacia is solely responsible for the development and commercialization under the arrangement, with the exception of the associated manufacturing. The Company also entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“the Stock Purchase Agreement”) with BCPE Tenet Holdings Cayman, Ltd. (“BCPE”), a related party of Tenacia. Pursuant to the terms of the Tenacia License Agreement, the Company was entitled to an up-front, non-refundable and non-creditable cash payment of $5.0 million, net of certain tax withholdings. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive $264.0 million in success-based development and commercialization milestone payments as well as tiered royalties on net sales. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and sold 443,253 shares of its common stock to BCPE at a price per share of $22.5605 for aggregate gross proceeds of $10.0 million. The per share price was based on a 20% premium over the 30-day volume-weighted average price.
Under the terms of the Tenacia License Agreement, the Company granted to Tenacia an exclusive license to use certain intellectual property for the development and commercialization of ulixacaltamide and products containing ulixacaltamide in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Tenacia is solely responsible for the development and commercialization under the arrangement, with the exception of the associated manufacturing.
The Company concluded that the Tenacia License Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement is a combined arrangement since they were executed at the same time and in contemplation of each other with the same counterparty or a related party thereof and the combined arrangement falls within the scope of Topic 606.
The Company’s obligations under the arrangement comprise a single promise, or one performance obligation, related to the exclusive development and commercialization license granted to Tenacia. Total proceeds associated with the combined arrangement at inception were $14.8 million consisting of the following: (i) $10.0 million gross proceeds from the sale of common stock under the Stock Purchase Agreement and (ii) $4.8 million, net of tax, related to the up-front payment under the Tenacia License Agreement, both of which were received in January 2024. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company had not achieved any development or sales milestones or earned any royalties under the Tenacia License Agreement.
The Company recorded the common stock sold to BCPE at its issuance date fair value of $38.95 per share, or $17.3 million in the aggregate, which exceeded the proceeds received which were calculated based on the 20% premium over the prior 30-day volume-weighted average price. Accordingly, there is no transaction price allocable to the performance obligation. The Company accounted for the excess of the fair value of the equity securities issued over the total proceeds received as consideration paid to a customer for which no distinct good or service was transferred in exchange. As a result, the transaction gives rise to negative revenue on a cumulative basis in the amount of $2.5 million, which was recorded at the inception of the Tenacia License Agreement in research and development expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. For agreements where the licenses are considered separate performance obligations or represent the only performance obligation, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time that the Company effectively grants the license, as the licenses or assignments represent functional intellectual property.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company did not have any material receivables, included within other current assets and prepaid expenses on the consolidated balance sheets, and had no deferred revenue related to the arrangement with Tenacia. The Company did not recognize any contract assets related to costs to obtain a contract with a customer or costs to fulfill a contract with a customer through June 30, 2026 because no qualifying costs were incurred. During three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not recognize any revenue associated with the combined arrangement.
