Pfizer Exercise of Buy Out Option for License to Certain Zinc Finger Modified Cell Lines
On October 27, 2025, the Company received $6.0 million from Pfizer pursuant to Pfizer’s exercise of its option to obtain a license to transfer to third parties certain cell lines that were generated by Pfizer pursuant to the terms of a 2008 licensing agreement between Pfizer and the Company, which was amended in 2023. The 2008 agreement originally granted Pfizer a worldwide, non-exclusive license under Company intellectual property for the use of certain zinc finger nucleases (“ZFN”) reagents to modify cells and for the use of these ZFN-modified cells for clinical and commercial production of therapeutic proteins. Under the 2023 amendment, Pfizer could transfer the cell lines to certain third parties in exchange for a licensing fee for each cell line initiation plus a revenue share fee. In addition, the 2023 amendment granted Pfizer an option to obtain the right to transfer such cells to any third party without further payment to or consent from Company. Prior to exercise of the Pfizer option, licensing fees received by the Company under the 2023 amendment were immaterial, and no revenue share fees were received.
