NOTE 9:    RELATED PARTY DEFERRED REVENUE

On April 21, 2022, the Company entered into the Services Agreement, dated April 12, 2022, with Wilson Wolf. Mr. John Wilson is a member of the Company’s board of directors and is serving as the CEO of Wilson Wolf. Wilson Wolf is in the business of creating products and services intended to simplify and expedite the transition of cell therapies and gene-modified cell therapies to mainstream society (the “Wilson Wolf Mission”). Pursuant to the Services Agreement, Wilson Wolf made a cash payment to the Company in the amount of $8.0 million, as consideration for certain training and research services allocated as follows:

$2.0 million for non-exclusive training of Wilson Wolf to make, use, and sell the Company’s cell culture non-proprietary media formulation that has been cleared in an FDA investigational new drug application;
$1.0 million for non-exclusive training of Wilson Wolf to replicate the Company’s quality management system inclusive of all underlying documents related thereto, none of which shall include unique information specific to the manufacture of the Company’s multiTAA product candidates such as direct peptide stimulation;
$2.0 million for non-exclusive training of Wilson Wolf to be able to replicate the Company’s cGMP-compliant, linearly scalable, G-Rex based T-cell manufacturing process which Wilson Wolf shall use as it sees fit in pursuit of the Wilson Wolf Mission; and
$3.0 million for the Company to train Wilson Wolf on its expertise in the optimization of T-cell therapy manufacturing processes using G-Rex and to conduct CAR T and TCR G-Rex Optimization Work under the direction of Wilson Wolf (the “Work Direction”), whereunder all intellectual property provided by Wilson Wolf or created or derived by the Company will be solely owned by Wilson Wolf, and whereby the Company will make good faith efforts to complete the conduct of such work as soon as practicable within 18 months from the date of the agreement. Wilson Wolf has agreed to pay the Company an additional $1.0 million if the Work Direction is completed within one year from the onset of the Agreement.

Pursuant to the Services Agreement, in the event that the Company becomes insolvent, goes out of business, or an event other than force majeure occurs that cannot allow the Agreement to be fulfilled, Wilson Wolf will have right of first offer and right of first refusal for the Company’s manufacturing facility provided it is able and willing to meet whatever financial obligations are required to do so and provided further that such clause will not apply in the event of a merger, reorganization or consolidation of the Company with a third party that results in the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior thereto ceasing to represent, or being converted into or exchanged for voting securities that do not represent, at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the surviving entity or the parent corporation of the surviving entity immediately after such merger, reorganization or

consolidation, or the sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s business or assets. The Company agrees to assist as needed to the extent permitted under any applicable law (including bankruptcy or insolvency statutes). Further, prior to the Company undertaking any financing that would encumber any of the Company’s assets necessary for the Company’s performance under this Services Agreement, Wilson Wolf shall have the first right to provide such financing on equal terms to what the Company can obtain elsewhere.

The Company recognizes related party revenue over time in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC, 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as each of the training or and research services are provided to Wilson Wolf. Revenue is recognized, using an output method based on progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligations.  Additionally, in accordance the spirit of the standard expressed in ASC 606-50-1, the timing of the revenue recognition is expected to be approximately 12 months. For the year ending December 31, 2022, the Company recognized $5.5 million of revenue pursuant to the Services Agreement and at December 31, 2022, the Company recorded an $2.5 million related party deferred revenue on its consolidated balance sheet.
