Research Collaboration and License Agreements

ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement

In July 2021, the Company entered into a Collaboration Agreement with Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) (the “ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company granted Pfizer worldwide co-exclusive rights to develop and commercialize products containing the Company’s proprietary compound ARV-471 (the “Licensed Products”). Under the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement, the Company received an upfront, non-refundable payment of $650.0 million. In addition, the Company will be eligible to receive up to an additional $1.4 billion in contingent payments based on specific regulatory and sales-based milestones for the Licensed Products. Of the total contingent payments, $400.0 million in regulatory milestones are related to marketing approvals and $1.0 billion are related to sales-based milestones.

The Company and Pfizer will share equally all development costs, including costs of conducting clinical trials, for the Licensed Products, subject to certain exceptions. Except for certain regions described below, the parties will also share equally all profits and losses in commercialization and medical affairs activities for the Licensed Products in all other countries, subject to certain exceptions.

The Company will be the marketing authorization holder in the United States and, subject to marketing approval, book sales in the United States, while Pfizer will hold marketing authorizations outside the United States. The parties will determine which, if any, regions within the world will be solely commercialized by one party, and in such region the parties will adjust their share of profits and losses for the Licensed Products based on the role each party will be performing.

As a direct result of the Company’s entry into the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement, the Company incurred direct and incremental costs to obtain the contract totaling $12.9 million. In accordance with ASC 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, the Company recognized an asset of $12.9 million in collaboration contract asset and other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at inception of the agreement, which is being amortized as general and administrative expense over the total estimated period of performance under the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement.
