License Agreement | 9. License Agreement UCSB Agreement In August 2010, the Company entered into an exclusive, worldwide license agreement with University of California, Santa Barbara (“UCSB”), relating to the use of certain patents and technology relating to its core technology, including its therapeutic antibodies, and to certain patent rights the Company co-owns with UCSB covering PROBODY antibodies and other pro-proteins (the “UCSB Agreement”). Pursuant to the UCSB Agreement, the Company has annual minimum royalty obligations of $0.2 million under the terms of certain exclusive licensed patent rights. In April 2019, the Company entered into Amendment No.3 to the UCSB Agreement to adjust and clarify certain sublicense terms (“Amendment No.3”). Under the terms of Amendment No.3, the Company agreed to make an additional annual license maintenance fees of $0.8 million through 2031. In the event that the Company terminates the agreement due to material concern of the safety or efficacy of the related technology, 50% of all remaining maintenance fees will become due immediately. Otherwise, all remaining maintenance fees will become due immediately upon early termination of the agreement unless there is a material breach by UCSB. In 2022, the Company incurred $0.1 million of sublicense fees triggered by the IND for the EGFR product and the dosing of the first patient of the EGFR program under the Amgen Agreement. In 2023, the Company incurred $0.2 million of sublicense fees triggered by achieving the clinical candidate milestone under the Astellas Agreement. In 2024, the Company incurred $0.6 million of sublicense fees triggered by achieving the GLP toxicology studies milestone for the first clinical candidate which was nominated by Astellas in 2023, as well as by achieving the clinical candidate nomination milestone for a second collaboration target under the Astellas Agreement. In the first quarter 2025, the Company incurred $0.2 million of sublicense fees triggered by achieving the GLP toxicology studies milestone for the second clinical candidate which was nominated by Astellas in 2024. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred sublicense expenses of $1.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, under the provisions of the UCSB Agreement. ImmunoGen (acquired by AbbVie in 2024) In December 2019, the Company entered into a License Agreement (the “ImmunoGen 2019 License”) with ImmunoGen, Inc. to obtain an exclusive license with respect to epithelial cell adhesion molecule (“EPCAM”). Under the ImmunoGen 2019 License, ImmunoGen agreed to transfer its know-how, patents, intellectual property rights, and technology transfer materials and information related to its EpCAM program. The license gives the Company the sole ability to develop, manufacture, use and commercialize any licensed product that incorporates, is comprised of, or otherwise derived from PROBODY technology that targets EpCAM in any human therapeutic field on a worldwide basis. In exchange, the Company made an upfront license payment of $7.5 million, and will pay up to $35.0 million in certain clinical development milestones and up to $320.0 million in regulatory approval and commercial milestone payments, if achieved. ImmunoGen is also entitled to royalties on product sales ranging from the mid-to-high single digits percentages. In April 2024, the Company made a $5.0 million payment of the $35.0 million in potential clinical development milestone payments to AbbVie (formerly ImmunoGen) with respect to achieving the milestone of dosing the first patient for CX-2051 under the ImmunoGen 2019 License Agreement. Seattle Genetics, Inc ("SGEN") In August 22, 2023, the Company entered into a Transition Agreement (the “Transition Agreement”) with AbbVie Global Enterprises Ltd. (“AbbVie”), pursuant to which the Company regained exclusive worldwide rights to develop CX-2029, a CD71-targeting conditionally activated antibody drug conjugate. The Transition Agreement superseded the CD71 Co-Development and License Agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”) entered into between the Company and AbbVie Ireland Unlimited Company (an affiliate entity of AbbVie) in 2016, that was terminated in May 2023, and granted certain intellectual property rights from AbbVie to enable the continued development of CX-2029 by the Company for all human and nonhuman diagnostic, prophylactic, and therapeutic uses. Pursuant to the Transition Agreement, the Company paid an annual license maintenance fee of $0.3 million to SGEN for certain related technology starting 2023 through the date on which licensee receives first regulatory approval in the territory for the applicable licensed product. The Company terminated the Transition Agreement in the first quarter of 2025.
