10. Collaboration and Licensing Agreements

Following is a summary description of the material revenue arrangements, including arrangements that generated revenue in the period ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019. The revenue reported for each agreement has been adjusted to reflect the adoption of ASC 606 for each period presented.

Aimmune Therapeutics, Inc.

On February 4, 2020, the Company entered into a License, Development and Commercialization Agreement (the Aimmune Agreement) with Aimmune Therapeutics, Inc. (Aimmune) pursuant to which the Company granted Aimmune an exclusive worldwide license to XmAb7195, which was renamed AIMab7195. Under the Aimmune Agreement, Aimmune will be responsible for all further development and commercialization activities for XmAb7195. The Company received an upfront payment of $5.0 million and 156,238 shares of Aimmune common stock with an aggregate value of $4.6 million on the closing date. Under the Aimmune Agreement, the Company is also eligible to receive up to $385.0 million in milestones, which include $22.0 million in development milestones, $53.0 million in regulatory milestones and $310.0 million in sales milestones, and tiered royalties on net sales of approved products from high-single to mid-teen percentage range.

Under the Aimmune Agreement, Aimmune received exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture, develop and commercialize XmAb7195. They also received the rights to all data, information and research materials related to the XmAb7195 program.

The Company evaluated the Aimmune Agreement under the revenue recognition standard ASC 606 and identified the following performance obligations that it deemed to be distinct at the inception of the contract:

license to the rights to the XmAb7195 drug candidate; and
rights to material, data, and information that the Company had accumulated in connection with manufacturing, testing, and conducting clinical trials for the XmAb7195 program and intellectual property filings and information (XmAb7195 data).

The Company considered the licenses as functional intellectual property as Aimmune has the right to use XmAb7195 at the time that the Company transfers such rights. The rights to the XmAb7195 data are not considered to be separate from the license to XmAb7195 as Aimmune cannot benefit from the license without the supporting data and documentation.

The Company determined the transaction price at inception is $9.6 million which consists of the $5.0 million upfront payment and the 156,238 shares of Aimmune common stock which had a value of $4.6 million on the closing date. The Company determined that the transaction price is to be allocated to the performance obligations. The Aimmune Agreement includes variable consideration for potential future milestones and royalties that are contingent on future

success factors for the XmAb7195 program. The Company used the “most likely amount” method to determine the variable consideration. None of the development, regulatory or sales milestones or royalties were included in the transaction price. The Company will re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.

The Company determined the transaction price at inception of the Aimmune Agreement and allocated it to the performance obligation, delivery of the XmAb7195 license.

The Company completed delivery of its performance obligations in March 2020. The license to XmAb7195 was transferred to Aimmune at inception of the Aimmune Agreement, and the XmAb7195 data were transferred to Aimmune in March 2020.

No revenue was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2021; the Company recognized $9.6 million of revenue related to the agreement for the year ended December 31, 2020. There is no deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 or 2020 related to this agreement.

Genentech, Inc., and F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd.

In February 2019, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement (the Genentech Agreement) with Genentech, Inc. and F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd (collectively, Genentech) for the development and commercialization of novel IL-15 collaboration products (Collaboration Products), including XmAb306, the Company’s IL-15/IL15Rα-Fc candidate.

Under the terms of the Genentech Agreement, Genentech received an exclusive worldwide license to XmAb306 and other Collaboration Products, including any new IL-15 programs identified during the joint research collaboration. Genentech and Xencor will jointly collaborate on worldwide development of XmAb306 and potentially other Collaboration Products. The two-year research term expired in March 2021.

The Company received a $120.0 million upfront payment and is eligible to receive up to an aggregate of $160.0 million in clinical milestone payments for XmAb306 and up to $180.0 million in clinical milestone payments for each new Collaboration Product. The Company is also eligible to receive 45% share of net profits for sales of XmAb306 and other Collaboration Products, while also sharing in net losses at the same percentage rate. The parties will jointly share in development and commercialization costs for all programs designated as a development program under the Genentech Agreement at the same percentage rate, while Genentech will bear launch costs entirely. The initial 45% profit-cost share percentage is subject to a one-time downward adjustment at the Company’s discretion and convertible to a royalty under certain circumstances.

Pursuant to the Genentech Agreement, XmAb306 is designated as a development program and all costs incurred for developing both XmAb306 is being shared with Genentech under the initial cost-sharing percentage.

The Company evaluated the Genentech Agreement under the provisions of ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all related amendments (collectively, ASC 606) as well as ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements. Certain provisions of the Genentech Agreement including the cost-sharing of development programs are governed by ASC 808. We have determined that Genentech is a customer for purposes of the delivery of specific performance obligations under the Genentech Agreement and applied the provisions of ASC 606 to the transaction.

The Company identified the following performance obligations under the Genentech Agreement: (i) the license of XmAb306 and (ii) research services during a two-year period, which expired in March 2021, to identify additional IL-15 candidates, each a separate research program and a separate performance obligation. The Company determined that the license and each of the potential research programs are separate performance obligations because they were capable of being distinct in the context of the Genentech Agreement. The license to XmAb306 has standalone functionality as Genentech has exclusive worldwide rights to the program, including the right to sublicense to third parties. Upon the transfer of the license of XmAb306, Genentech could develop and commercialize XmAb306 without further assistance from the Company. The Company determined that the research services for a potential additional IL-15 candidate and research program were separate standalone performance obligations. The Genentech Agreement provided an outline of an integrated research plan for the programs to be conducted by the two companies, and the research activities were separate and distinct from the license to XmAb306. In October 2020, an additional program was declared a Collaboration Program under the Agreement, and the Company completed its performance obligation for that specific

research program as the program and licensed rights were transferred to Genentech.

The Company determined the standalone selling price of the license to be $114.4 million using the adjusted market assessment approach considering similar collaboration and license agreements and transactions. The standalone selling price for the research activities to be performed during the research term was determined to be $8.5 million using the expected cost approach which was derived from the Company’s experience and information from providing similar research activities to other parties.

The Company determined that the transaction price of the Genentech Agreement at inception was $120.0 million consisting of the upfront payment, and allocated the transaction price to each of the separate performance obligations using the relative standalone selling price with $111.7 million allocated to the license to XmAb306, $4.1 million allocated to the additional program and $4.2 million allocated to the research services.

The Company recognized the $111.7 million allocated to the license when it satisfied its performance obligation and transferred the license to Genentech in March 2019, and the $8.3 million allocated to the research activities was recognized over a period of time through the end of the research term or the time that a program is delivered to Genentech. The research term expired in the first half of 2021, and the balance in deferred revenue related to the Genentech Agreement was recognized as the Company is no longer required to render services. A total of $2.5 million, $3.5 million, and $2.2 million of revenue related to the research activities was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, we recognized $2.5 million, $3.5 million, and $113.9 million of income, respectively from the Genentech Agreement. As of December 31, 2021, there is a $2.2 million payable related to cost-sharing development activities during the fourth quarter of 2021. There is no deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021.

Gilead Sciences, Inc.

In January 2020, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement (the Gilead Agreement) with Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead), in which the Company provided Gilead an exclusive license to its Cytotoxic Fc and Xtend Fc technologies for an initial identified antibody and options for up to three additional antibodies directed to the same molecular target. Gilead is responsible for all development and commercialization activities for all target candidates. The Company received an upfront payment of $6.0 million and is eligible to receive up to $67.0 million in milestones, which include $10.0 million in development milestones, $27.0 million in regulatory milestones and $30.0 million in sales milestones for each product incorporating the antibodies selected. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive royalties in the low-single digit percentage range on net sales of approved products.

In the second quarter of 2020, Gilead exercised options on three additional antibody compounds, and in April 2020, we received a total of $7.5 million in payment of the three options.

The total transaction price is $13.5 million which includes the upfront payment of $6.0 million and the option fee payment of $7.5 million which was contractually due with the exercise of the three options by Gilead. The milestone payments are variable consideration to which the Company applied the “most likely amount” method and concluded at inception of the Gilead Agreement it is unlikely that the Company will collect such payments. The milestone payments were not included in the transaction price, and the Company will review this conclusion and update at each reporting period.

No revenue was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company recognized $13.5 million of revenue related to the Gilead Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2020. There is no deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 related to this agreement.

INmune Bio, Inc.

In October 2017, the Company entered into a License Agreement (the INmune Agreement) with INmune. Under the terms of the INmune Agreement, the Company provided INmune with an exclusive license to certain rights to a proprietary protein, XPro1595. In connection with the agreement the Company received 1,585,000 shares of INmune common stock and an option to acquire additional shares of INmune. The Company also received an option to acquire 108,000 shares of INmune common stock with a designee appointed by us serving on the board of directors of INmune.

The option had a six-year term from the date of the INmune Agreement and provided the Company the option to purchase up to 10% of the fully diluted outstanding shares of INmune common stock for $10.0 million. The Company initially recorded its equity interest in INmune, including its option to acquire additional INmune shares, at cost pursuant to ASC 323.

In June 2021, the Company entered into the First Amendment to License Agreement (the Amended INmune Agreement) and an Option Cancellation Agreement (the Option Agreement) with INmune. The Amended INmune Agreement modified certain diligence provisions in the INmune Agreement with no change in total consideration or performance obligations. The Option Agreement provided for the sale of the option to INmune for the total consideration of $18.3 million which includes $15.0 million in cash and $3.3 million in additional shares of INmune common stock, which represented an additional 192,533 shares of INmune common stock. The Company recorded a realized gain of $18.3 million according to ASC 860, Transfer and Servicing, and recorded the additional investment of 192,533 shares of INmune common stock according to ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company determined that it should no longer record its investment in INmune under the equity method and recorded its investment in INmune pursuant to ASC 321. The Company adjusted the carrying value of this investment by recognizing an unrealized gain of $27.8 million as other income for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

In September 2021, the Company exercised its option to purchase 108,000 shares of INmune common stock for $0.8 million. The Company recognized an unrealized gain of $2.0 million, which consists of $1.1 million of fair value of the option and $0.9 million gain on the purchase, as other income for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded $15.1 million of unrealized gain and $18.3 million of realized gain related to its investment in INmune. No revenue was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2021, 2020, or 2019.

At the inception of the INmune Agreement in 2017, INmune was a related party as a result of the Company's significant influence with respect to its investment in INmune, as determined under ASC 323. The Company did not have any amounts due to or from INmune at December 31, 2021 or 2020. At June 30, 2021, the Company determined that it no longer has a significant influence in INmune and that INmune is no longer a related party.

Janssen Biotech, Inc.

Janssen Agreement

In November 2020, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the Janssen Agreement) with Janssen Biotech, Inc. (Janssen) pursuant to which Xencor and Janssen will conduct research and development activities to discover novel CD28 bispecific antibodies for the treatment of prostate cancer. Janssen and Xencor will conduct joint research activities for up to a three-year period to discover XmAb bispecific antibodies against CD28 and against an undisclosed prostate tumor-target with Janssen maintaining exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize Licensed Products identified from the research activities.

Under the Janssen Agreement, the Company will conduct research activities and apply its bispecific Fc technology to antibodies targeting prostate cancer provided by Janssen. Upon completion of the research activities Janssen will have a candidate selection option to advance an identified candidate for development and commercialization. The activities will be conducted under a research plan agreed to by both parties. Janssen will assume full responsibility for development and commercialization of the CD28 bispecific antibody candidate. Pursuant to the Janssen Agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $50.0 million and is eligible to receive up to $662.5 million in milestones which include $161.9 million in development milestones, $240.6 million in regulatory milestones and $260.0 million in sales milestones. If commercialized, the Company is eligible to receive royalties on net sales that range from the high-single to low-double digit percentages.

Pursuant to the Janssen Agreement, upon development of a bispecific candidate by Janssen through proof of concept, we have the right to opt-in to fund 20% of development costs and to perform 30% of detailing efforts in the U.S. If we exercise this right, we will be eligible to receive tiered royalties in the low-double digit to mid-teen percentage range.

We evaluated the Janssen Agreement under ASC 606 and identified the performance obligation under the Agreement to be delivery of CD28 bispecific antibodies to Janssen from the research activities outlined in the research plan. The Company determined that the license to the bispecific antibodies is not a separate performance obligation because it is not capable of being distinct, the license to the antibodies cannot be separated from the underlying antibodies.

Janssen will benefit from delivery of the bispecific antibodies upon completion of the research activities.

The Company determined that the transaction price of the Janssen Agreement at inception was $50.0 million consisting of the upfront payment. The potential milestones are not included in the transaction price as these are contingent on future events and the Company would not recognize these in revenue until it is not probable that these would not result in significant reversal of revenue amounts in future periods. The candidate selection option payment is substantive and is a separate performance obligation. The Company will re-assess the transaction price at each reporting period and when event outcomes are resolved or changes in circumstances occur.

The Company allocated the transaction price to the single performance obligation, delivery of CD28 bispecific antibodies to Janssen.

The Company will recognize the $50.0 million transaction price as it satisfies its performance obligation to deliver CD28 bispecific antibodies to Janssen. The Company will recognize revenue related to the performance obligation over the expected period of time to complete and deliver the CD28 bispecific antibodies to Janssen using the expected input method which considers an estimate of the Company’s efforts to complete the research activities outlined in the Janssen Agreement.

In November 2021, the Company completed its performance obligations under the research activities and delivered CD28 bispecific antibodies to Janssen. In December 2021, Janssen selected a bispecific CD28 candidate for further development, and we received a milestone of $5.0 million. For the year ended December 31, 2021 the Company recognized as revenue the $50.0 million transaction price in connection with the completion of the research activities and the $5.0 million milestone for selection of an antibody candidate by Janssen.

Second Janssen Agreement

On October 1, 2021, the Company entered into a second Collaboration and License Agreement (the Second Janssen Agreement) with Janssen pursuant to which the Company granted Janssen an exclusive worldwide license to develop, manufacture, and commercialize plamotamab, the Company’s CD20 x CD3 development candidate, and pursuant to which Xencor and Janssen will conduct research and development activities to discover novel CD28 bispecific antibodies. The parties will conduct joint research activities for up to a two-year period to discover XmAb bispecific antibodies against CD28 and undisclosed B cell tumor-targets with Janssen receiving exclusive worldwide rights, subject to certain Xencor opt-in rights, to develop, manufacture and commercialize pharmaceutical products that

contain one or more of such discovered antibodies (CD28 Licensed Antibodies). The Agreement became effective on November 5, 2021.

Pursuant to the Second Janssen Agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $100.0 million and is eligible to receive up to $1,187.5 million in milestones which include $289.4 million in development milestones, $378.1 million in regulatory milestones and $520.0 million in sales milestones. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Johnson & Johnson Innovation, JJDC, Inc. (JJDC), agreed to purchase $25.0 million of newly issued unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock, priced at a 30-day volume-weighted average price of $33.4197 per share as of October 1, 2021. The Company issued JJDC 748,062 shares of its common stock which had a fair market value of $28.9 million when the shares were transferred.

The Company will collaborate with Janssen on further clinical development of plamotamab with Janssen and share development costs with Janssen paying 80% and the Company paying 20% of certain development costs.

The Company is generally responsible for conducting research activities under the Second Janssen Agreement, and Janssen is generally responsible for all development, manufacturing, and commercialization activities for CD28 Licensed Antibodies that are advanced.

Under the Second Janssen Agreement, the Company granted Janssen an exclusive worldwide right to its plamotamab program and the Company will conduct research activities and apply its CD28 bispecific Fc technology to antibodies targeting B-cells. Upon completion of the research activities Janssen will have options to advance up to four identified candidates for development and commercialization. The activities will be conducted under a research plan agreed to by both parties. Janssen will assume full responsibility for development and commercialization of the CD28 bispecific antibody candidate. If commercialized, the Company is eligible to receive royalties on net sales that range from the high-single to low-double digit percentages.

The Company evaluated the Second Janssen Agreement under the provisions of ASC 606. We have determined that Janssen is a customer for purposes of the delivery of specific performance obligations under the Second Janssen Agreement and applied the provisions of ASC 606 to the transaction.

The Company identified the following performance obligations under the Second Janssen Agreement:

(i)the license to the plamotamab program, and
(ii)research services during a two-year period to create up to four CD28 bispecific candidates targeting B-cell antigens.

The Company determined that the license and the research services are separate performance obligations because they are capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the Second Janssen Agreement. The license to plamotamab has standalone functionality as Janssen has exclusive worldwide rights to the program, including the right to sublicense to third parties. Janssen has significant experience and capabilities in developing and commercializing drug candidates similar to plamotamab, and Janssen is capable of performing these activities without the Company’s involvement. Upon the transfer of the license of plamotamab and the related data and materials, Janssen could develop and commercialize plamotamab without further assistance from the Company. The Company determined that the research services for potential CD28 candidates was a separate standalone performance obligation. The Second Janssen Agreement provides an outline of an integrated research plan for the programs to be conducted by the two companies, and the research activities are separate and distinct from the license to plamotamab.

The Company determined the standalone selling price of the license to be $58.5 million using the adjusted market assessment approach considering similar collaboration and license agreements and transactions. The standalone selling price for the research services to be performed during the research term was determined to be $37.6 million using the market approach which was derived from the Company’s experience and information from providing similar research services.

The Company determined that the transaction price of the Second Janssen Agreement at inception was $96.1 million consisting of the $100.0 million upfront payment reduced by the $3.9 million discount on the proceeds received from the sale of Company common stock to Janssen. The potential milestones are not included in the transaction price as these are contingent on future events and the Company would not recognize these in revenue until it is not probable that these would not result in significant reversal of revenue amounts in future periods. The Company will re-assess the transaction price at each reporting period and when event outcomes are resolved or changes in circumstances occur.

The Company allocated the transaction price to each of the separate performance obligations using the relative standalone selling price with $58.5 million allocated to the license to the plamotamab program and $37.6 allocated to the research services.

The Company recognized the $58.5 million allocated to the license when it satisfied its performance obligation and transferred the license to Janssen in November 2021. The license was transferred upon the effective date of the Second Janssen Agreement and when the Company subsequently transferred certain data related to the program to Janssen. The $37.6 million allocated to the research services is being recognized over a period of time through the end of the research term that services are rendered as we determine that the input method is the appropriate approach to recognize income for such services. A total of $0.3 million of revenue related to the research services was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company recognized $113.8 million of revenue related to the two Janssen agreements for the year ended December 31, 2021. No revenue was recognized under this arrangement for the year ended December 31, 2020. There is $37.3 million in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 related to our obligation to complete research activities and deliver CD28 bispecific antibodies under the Second Janssen Agreement.

Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research, Inc.

In June 2016, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (Novartis Agreement) with Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research, Inc. (Novartis), to develop and commercialize bispecific and other Fc engineered antibody drug candidates using the Company’s proprietary XmAb technologies and drug candidates. Pursuant to the Novartis Agreement:

The Company granted Novartis certain exclusive rights to research, develop and commercialize XmAb14045 (vibecotamab) and XmAb13676 (plamotamab), two development stage products that incorporate the Company’s bispecific Fc technology;
The Company will apply its bispecific technology in up to four target pair antibodies identified by Novartis (each a Global Discovery Program); and
The Company will provide Novartis with a non-exclusive license to certain of its Fc technologies to apply against up to ten targets identified by Novartis.

In December 2018, Novartis notified the Company it was terminating its rights with respect to the plamotamab program, which became effective June 2019. Under the Novartis Agreement, Novartis is responsible to fund its share of plamotamab development costs through June 2020. In November 2019, the Company and Novartis amended the Agreement, and Novartis paid the Company $1.4 million in settlement of its projected remaining cost-sharing due for the plamotamab program.

In August 2021, Novartis notified the Company it was terminating its rights with respect to the vibecotamab program, which will be effective in February 2022. Under the Novartis Agreement, Novartis is responsible for its share of vibecotamab development costs through August 2022.

We completed delivery of two Global Discovery Programs under the Agreement. In December 2019, Novartis dosed a patient in a Phase 1 study with an undisclosed bispecific antibody that is a Global Discovery Program, and we received a $10.0 million milestone payment. Novartis will assume full responsibility for development and commercialization of this Global Discovery Program.

Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized at the time that the Company’s performance obligation for each Global Discovery is completed upon delivery of each discovery program to Novartis. The Company delivered two discovery programs to Novartis and recognized $40.1 million of revenue in the period that each program was delivered. In the third quarter of 2019, we received a $10.0 million milestone related to development activity for a Global Discovery Program, and we recognized $10.0 million of revenue. The Company’s obligations to provide research services under the Agreement for additional Global Discovery Programs expired in 2021, and we recognized $40.1 million of research revenue from deferred revenue.

In June 2021, Novartis selected an Fc candidate and received a non-exclusive license to the Company’s Fc technology. Novartis will assume full responsibility for development and commercialization of the licensed Fc product candidate. The Company is eligible to receive development, clinical, and sales milestones and royalties on net sales of approved products for the licensed Fc candidate. During the year-ended December 31, 2021, Novartis advanced the Fc candidate into development and initiated clinical studies and the Company recognized $3.0 million of revenue related to the milestones.

During the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2019, the Company recognized $43.1 million and $10.0 million of revenue, respectively. No revenue was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020. There is a receivable of $0.6 million as of December 31, 2021 related to the arrangement, and there is no deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 related to the arrangement.

Vir Biotechnology, Inc.

In 2019, the Company entered into a Patent License Agreement (the Vir Agreement) with Vir Biotechnology (Vir) pursuant to which the Company provided a non-exclusive license to its Xtend technology for up to two targets. Under the terms of the Vir Agreement, the Company received a total of $1.5 million in upfront and milestone payments and is eligible to receive additional milestones of $154.5 million which include $4.5 million of development milestones, $30.0 million of regulatory milestones and $120.0 million of sales milestones. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive royalties on the net sales of approved products in the low-single digits.

Vir initiated a Phase 1 study with a licensed antibody in 2019, and in the second quarter of 2020, it initiated a Phase 1 study with a second licensed antibody.

In March 2020, the Company entered into a second Patent License Agreement (the Second Vir Agreement) with Vir pursuant to which the Company provided a non-exclusive license to its Xtend technology to extend the half-life of novel antibodies Vir is investigating as potential treatments for patients with COVID-19. Under the terms of the Second Vir Agreement, Vir is responsible for all research, development, regulatory and commercial activities for the antibody, and the Company is eligible to receive royalties on the net sales of approved products in the mid-single digit percentage range. In May 2021, the FDA granted emergency use authorization (EUA) to Vir’s COVID-19 antibody, sotrovimab (VIR-7831), for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in high-risk adult and pediatric patients. In December 2021, the European Union, and several other countries authorized sotrovimab for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in high-risk adult and pediatric patients. Vir and its marketing partner, GSK, began recording sales for sotrovimab beginning in June 2021. In 2021, we recognized royalty revenue of $52.2 million related to this agreement.

In February 2021, the Company entered into the Vir Amendment No. 1 to the Vir Agreement and the Vir Amendment No. 1 to the Second Vir Agreement (collectively, the Vir Amendments), in each case, pursuant to which the Company provided a non-exclusive license to additional Fc technology for the targets previously identified in the Vir Agreement and the Second Vir Agreement, respectively. If Vir incorporates additional Fc technologies in the identified targets, the Company is eligible to receive additional royalties on net sales of approved products from low to mid-single digit range.

The Company determined that the Second Vir Agreement and the Vir Amendments were modifications of the original Vir Agreement, and that the transfer of the license occurred at inception of the Vir Agreement. The total consideration under the arrangement did not change with the Second Vir Agreement or the Amendments as the Company will potentially receive additional royalty revenue which is variable consideration and is not included in the transaction price.

In June 2021, Vir announced its plan to initiate a Phase 2 study for VIR-3434 and subsequently completed dosing of the first patient in such study in July 2021. The Company recorded a $0.5 million contract asset in connection with this milestone event, and the payment was received in August 2021.

The Company recognized $52.7 million, $0.3 million, and $0.8 million of revenues related to the agreement for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. There is no deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 related to this agreement. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has recorded a receivable of $45.0 million for royalties due related to this agreement.
