Research Funding | Research Funding California Institute for Regenerative Medicine In June 2015, the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine ("CIRM") granted the Company a $17.7 million award (the "Award") to fund a significant portion of its Phase 3 Intus study for treating patients with recurrent Stage III or Stage IV metastatic melanoma. The Award provides for a $3.0 million project initiation payment, and $14.7 million in future operational milestone payments, and is subject to a dollar-for-dollar match funding by the Company. On June 30, 2015, the Company received the $3.0 million project initiation payment from CIRM, which will be amortized over the estimated Award period as a reduction to the related research and development expenses. Future operational milestone payments will be recorded as a reduction to research and development expenses when the milestone is achieved and payment is received or probable. The State of California has the right to receive, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement between the Company and CIRM, future payments from the Company, or its collaborators, from sales of a commercial product resulting from research and development efforts supported by the grant, of up to nine times of the Award.
