Commitments and Contingencies

Manufacturing Agreements

On May 20, 2016, the Company signed a development and manufacturing services agreement with AGC Biologics, Inc. (“AGC”), pursuant to which AGC will conduct manufacturing development of agreed upon product candidates. The Company currently has firm work orders with AGC to manufacture MarzAA and DalcA to support its clinical trials totaling $16.5 million and the payment obligations remaining as of September 30, 2021 were $3.6 million.

In July 2021, the Company entered into two separate agreements, one for additional clinical trial services for MarzAA, and another for the Company’s screening and natural history of disease clinical studies related to CFI deficiency, with total payments of up to $3.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively. The Company can terminate these agreements at its discretion and upon termination will be responsible to pay for those services incurred prior to termination plus reasonable wind-down expenses.

On September 16, 2021, the Company signed a Manufacturing and Research and Development Studies Agreement to support the lyophilized drug product, CB4332. The agreement will cover analytical method qualification to support GMP manufacturing. The Company currently has firm work orders related to this agreement totaling $0.3 million and the payment obligations remaining as of September 30, 2021 were $0.3 million.

COVID-19

The current COVID-19 pandemic has presented a substantial public health and economic challenge around the world and is affecting the Company’s employees, potential trial participants and business operations. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national, and international markets. The COVID-19 pandemic may disrupt the operations of the Company’s manufacturers or disrupt supply logistics, which could impact the timing of deliveries and potentially increase expenses under the Company’s agreements. The Company is actively monitoring the impact of COVID-19 and the possible effects on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, clinical trials, suppliers, industry and workforce. All required MarzAA supplies for the MAA-304 and MAA-202 studies have been manufactured.
