Collaborative Agreements | Collaborative Agreements Advaccine Biopharmaceuticals Suzhou Co., Ltd. On December 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Advaccine Biopharmaceuticals Suzhou Co., Ltd. (“Advaccine”), which was amended and restated on June 7, 2021 (as amended and restated, the “Advaccine Agreement”). Under the terms of the Advaccine Agreement, the Company granted to Advaccine the exclusive right to develop, manufacture and commercialize the Company’s vaccine candidate INO-4800 within the territories of China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau (referred to collectively as “Greater China”) and 33 additional countries in Asia. The June 2021 amendment related to a collaboration between the Company and Advaccine to jointly conduct a global Phase 3 segment of the Company’s clinical trial of INO-4800 that was planned. The parties were jointly participating in the trial and were to equally share the global development costs for the trial, including the Company’s manufacturing costs to supply INO-4800. Advaccine agreed to be fully responsible for conducting the trial in Greater China, including its costs and expenses incurred. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company discontinued its internally funded efforts to develop INO-4800 as a COVID-19 heterologous booster vaccine. Advaccine continues to develop INO-4800 with its own resources under the terms of the Advaccine Agreement. In connection with the June 2021 amendment, the Company determined that the global Phase 3 trial component of the agreement was a collaboration and not a contract with a customer and therefore accounted for the June 2021 amendment under ASC Topic 808. Reimbursements from Advaccine were recognized as contra-research and development expense on the consolidated statement of operations once earned and collectibility was assured. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company received funding of $3.6 million, $1.2 million and $4.5 million, respectively, from Advaccine that was recorded as contra-research and development expense. ApolloBio Corporation On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated License and Collaboration Agreement (the "ApolloBio Agreement"), with ApolloBio Corporation ("ApolloBio"), which was amended on June 14, 2023. Under the terms of the ApolloBio Agreement, the Company granted to ApolloBio the exclusive right to develop and commercialize VGX-3100, its DNA immunotherapy product candidate designed to treat pre-cancers caused by HPV, within the agreed upon territories. The Company is entitled to receive up to an aggregate of $20.0 million, less required income, withholding or other taxes, upon the achievement of specified milestones related to the regulatory approval of VGX-3100 in accordance with the ApolloBio Agreement. In the event that VGX-3100 is approved for marketing, the Company will be entitled to receive royalty payments based on a tiered percentage of annual net sales, with such percentage being in the low- to mid-teens, subject to reduction in the event of generic competition in a particular territory. ApolloBio’s obligation to pay royalties will continue for 10 years after the first commercial sale in a particular territory or, if later, until the expiration of the last-to-expire patent covering the licensed products in the specified territory. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received funding of $245,000 from the ApolloBio Agreement that was recorded as revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no significant reimbursable program costs under the ApolloBio Agreement. Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations The Company previously entered into agreements with CEPI, pursuant to which the Company intended to develop vaccine candidates against Lassa fever and MERS. As part of the arrangement between the parties, CEPI agreed to fund up to an aggregate of $56 million of costs over a five-year period for preclinical studies, as well as planned Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials, to be conducted by the Company and collaborators, with funding from CEPI based on the achievement of identified milestones. In November 2022, the Company announced that it and CEPI would discontinue the development of these product candidates targeting Lassa fever and MERS, following the initial analysis of data from the studies conducted by the Company and funded by CEPI. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company received funding of $1.8 million, $6.7 million and $10.0 million, respectively, related to these grants and recorded those payments as contra-research and development expense. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had an accounts receivable balance of $0 and $1.7 million, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet related to these CEPI grants. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $2.2 million recorded as an accrued liability, and at December 31, 2022, had $0 recorded as deferred grant funding on the consolidated balance sheet related to these CEPI grants. In January 2020, CEPI awarded the Company a grant of up to $9.0 million to support preclinical and clinical development of INO-4800 through Phase 1 human testing in the United States. In April 2020, CEPI awarded the Company a grant of $6.9 million to work with the International Vaccine Institute ("IVI") and the Korea National Institute of Health ("KNIH") to conduct clinical trials of INO-4800 in South Korea, a grant of $5.0 million to accelerate development of the Company's next-generation intradermal electroporation device, known as CELLECTRA 3PSP, for the intradermal delivery of INO-4800, and a grant of $1.3 million to support large-scale manufacturing of INO-4800. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company received funding of $330,000, $1.1 million and $6.9 million, respectively, from CEPI related to these grants for INO-4800 and recorded such amounts as contra-research and development expense. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $2.1 million recorded as an accrued liability, and at December 31, 2022, had $2.3 million recorded as deferred grant funding on the consolidated balance sheet related to the CEPI grants related to INO-4800. Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation In October 2018, Gates awarded and funded the Company a grant of $2.2 million to advance the development of dMAbs to address issues in infectious disease prevention and therapy. This technology has high relevance for the control of influenza and HIV. This next-generation approach to the delivery of monoclonal antibodies would make the technology accessible to low and middle-income countries. In August 2019, Gates funded an additional $1.1 million for the project. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded $70,000, $233,000 and $182,000, respectively, as contra-research and development expense related to the Gates dMAb grant. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had $87,000 and $153,000, respectively, recorded as deferred grant funding on the consolidated balance sheet related to the grant. Department of Defense (DoD) In June 2020, the Company entered into an Other Transaction Authority for Prototype Agreement (the “OTA Agreement”) with the DoD to fund the Company’s efforts in developing the CELLECTRA® 3PSP device and associated arrays to be used for delivery of INO-4800 against COVID-19. The total amount of funding provided to the Company under the OTA Agreement was $54.5 million. The Company determined that the OTA Agreement should be considered under Subtopic 958-605, Not-for-Profit Entities-Revenue Recognition, which is outside the scope of Topic 606, as the government agency granting the Company funds was not receiving reciprocal value for their contributions. The Company recorded contra-research and development expense on the consolidated statement of operations in the same period that the underlying expenses were incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded $0, $6.1 million and $27.1 million, respectively, as contra-research and development expense related to the OTA agreement. Additionally, in June 2020, the Company was awarded a fixed-price contract (the “Procurement Contract”) from the DoD for the purchase of the Company’s intradermal CELLECTRA® 2000 device and accessories. The total purchase price under the Procurement Contract was $16.8 million. The Company determined that the Procurement Contract fell under the scope of ASC Topic 606 as the contract was with a customer and the Company was able to satisfy its obligations under the arrangement. Performance obligations under the Procurement Contract consisted of the delivery of a specified number of CELLECTRA® 2000 devices and accessories. The total transaction price was allocated to the individual performance obligations based on the determined standalone selling price for the devices and accessories. In 2021, the DoD announced that it would discontinue funding for the Phase 3 segment of the Company's clinical trials for INO-4800 and in January 2022, the total purchase price under the Procurement Contract was reduced to $10.7 million. During the year ended December 31, 2022, all performance obligations under the Procurement Contract were satisfied. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded revenue of $0, $9.6 million and $755,000, respectively, from the Procurement Contract.
