On June 3, 2025, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Zydus, a wholly owned subsidiary of Zydus Lifesciences Limited, for the sale to Zydus of substantially all of the assets comprising our manufacturing operations, including both owned and leased assets (the “Purchased Assets”).

As consideration for the sale of the Purchased Assets, Zydus will pay us $75.0 million at closing (less costs related to closing). The Purchase Agreement also includes contingent payments of up to an additional $50.0 million that may be earned based on usage by Agenus of Zydus’ manufacturing business during the 36-month period following the closing.

We also entered into a license agreement with Zydus (the “License Agreement”) under which, upon closing of the Purchase Agreement, Zydus will receive an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize botensilimab and balstilimab in India and Sri Lanka (the “Territory”) in exchange for a royalty on net sales at a rate of 5%, as may be adjusted by the occurrence of certain contingencies, for a period ending at the later of the expiration of our patent rights in a given country in the Territory or 10 years following first commercial sale in such country.

Additionally, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, we and Zynext Ventures USA LLC (“Zynext”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Zydus Lifesciences Limited, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA” and together with the License Agreement and Purchase Agreement the “Zydus Agreements”), pursuant to which Zynext agreed to purchase 2,133,333 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $16.0 million, or $7.50 per share.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by us and Zydus, indemnification obligations of the parties and certain other obligations of the parties. Closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including receipt of all required government approvals, as well as the entry into a contract manufacturing agreement (under which we will use Zydus for agreed manufacturing needs), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the SPA and the License Agreement. We anticipate the Zydus Agreements will close in the first quarter of 2026.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, we reached an agreement with the lessor of a substantial portion of leased manufacturing equipment included in the Purchased Assets to obtain title to these assets before the closing of the Purchase Agreement.

The Company determined that the Purchased Assets met the held for sale criteria at September 30, 2025, but did not meet the criteria to be deemed a business nor the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation. As a result, the related assets and liabilities were included in the separate held-for-sale line items of the asset and liability sections of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We determined that the fair value of the Purchased Assets, less costs to sell, were greater than their carrying value and, as such, no loss on assets held for sale was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities held for sale at September 30, 2025 (in thousands):
