COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Company is subject to various legal matters and claims in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, there are currently no such known matters that will have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
Servier Program Purchase Agreement
On April 9, 2021, the Company entered into a program purchase agreement (the “Program Purchase Agreement”) with Les Laboratoires Servier and Institut de Recherches Internationales Servier (collectively, “Servier”), pursuant to which the Company reacquired all of its global development and commercialization rights previously granted to Servier pursuant to the Development and Commercial License Agreement by and between Servier and the Company, dated February 24, 2016, as amended (the “Servier Agreement”), and mutually terminated the Servier Agreement.
The Program Purchase Agreement requires the Company to make certain payments to Servier based on the achievement of regulatory and commercial milestones for each product. Management assessed the likelihood of each of the regulatory and commercial milestones included in the Program Purchase Agreement in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that the milestone will be achieved and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s condensed financial statements.
Accordingly, contingent liabilities of $10.0 million related to the Program Purchase Agreement are accrued and included in contract liabilities in the condensed balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Pursuant to the Imugene Purchase Agreement, Imugene agreed to sublease from the Company space at the Company’s headquarters (the “Imugene Sublease”). In January 2025, Imugene terminated the Imugene Sublease. There is no impact to the condensed balance sheet as a result of the termination as the Company was not relieved of its primary obligation to the lessor under the terms of the Imugene Sublease and continued to carry the related right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its condensed balance sheets while netting sublease income with lease cost in its condensed statements of operations.
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases with terms of greater than one year as of June 30, 2025, were as follows:

Guarantees
The Company agreed to act as a guarantor of Imugene’s assumption of the Company’s lease for its Manufacturing Center for Advanced Therapeutics (the “MCAT Lease”) through the lease expiration date of August 31, 2027. If Imugene (including any successor or assignee of Imugene) fails to pay rent due on the MCAT Lease, the lessor may have contractual recourse against the Company.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s guarantee consists of a contingent liability for aggregate minimum lease payments of approximately $3.5 million. No contract liability for the Company’s guarantee of Imugene’s performance on the MCAT
Lease was recorded as of June 30, 2025, as it was not deemed probable that Imugene will be in default under the MCAT Lease.
Supply Agreements
The Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business with contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) for the manufacture of clinical trial materials and contract research organizations (“CROs”) for clinical trial services. These agreements provide for termination at the request of either party with less than one-year’s notice and are, therefore, cancellable contracts. If canceled, these agreements are not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
