Licensing Agreements | 6. Licensing Agreements The University of Chicago Agreement In April 2020, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “University License Agreement”), as well as a sponsored research agreement, with the University of Chicago (the “University”). Under the terms of the license, the Company has the global right to develop and commercialize products that are covered by a valid claim of a licensed patent, incorporate or use the licensed know-how and materials or are known to assess, modulate or utilize the activity of certain specified biological targets. In partial consideration for the license from the University, the Company issued to the University 48,919 shares of its common stock in 2020. Pursuant to the University License Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay potential development and commercial milestones as well as running royalties on net sales of licensed products at varying rates. The Company assessed the milestone and royalty events under University License Agreement as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, and determined that no such amounts were required. Pfizer Inc.

(“Pfizer”) for worldwide development and commercialization rights to ADC product candidates directed to certain licensed targets, including PYX-201 and PYX-203, and products containing the ADC product candidates. The Company’s rights are exclusive with respect to certain patents owned or controlled by Pfizer covering the licensed ADCs. Pfizer has also granted the Company a non-exclusive license to use Pfizer’s ADC technology (“FACT”) platform. The initial licensed targets include CD123 and extra domain B (EDB of fibronectin) and the Company has the option to expand the scope of its license to add additional licensed targets that have not been licensed to a third party or are not the subject of a Pfizer ADC development program. The Pfizer License Agreement became effective in March 2021 and the Company paid a combined $25.0 million for the license fee, consisting of an upfront cash payment of $5.0 million and issued 12,152,145 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock, which was converted into 1,911,015 shares of its common stock upon the initial public offering ("IPO") in October 2021, with a value of $20.0 million to Pfizer. On October 6, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated license agreement (the “A&R License Agreement”) with Pfizer, which amends and restates the Pfizer License Agreement. Pursuant to the A&R License Agreement, Pfizer granted to the Company exclusive worldwide rights under Pfizer’s FACT Platform technology to develop and commercialize ADC product candidates directed to certain licensed targets, including PYX-201 and PYX-203, and products containing the ADC product candidates. Additional ADC targets may be licensed for a nominal upfront payment and milestones. In accordance with the terms of the A&R License Agreement, the Company issued 2,229,654 shares of its common stock in October 2022, paid $8.0 million to Pfizer in January 2023 and issued 1,811,594 shares of its common stock in March 2023. Further, pursuant to the A&R License Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay future contingent payments including development, regulatory and commercial milestones as well as running royalties on net sales of licensed products at varying rates. The Company assessed the milestone and royalty events under A&R License Agreement as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, and determined that no such amounts were required. LegoChem Biosciences, Inc.

Additionally, the Company may purchase certain initial quantities of licensed products from LegoChem for an estimated cost of $7.0 million. No amounts were due and payable related to the manufacturing of the initial quantities of licensed product as of March 31, 2023.
