NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS

a.    Royalty Commitments

The Company is obligated to pay royalties to the National Authority for Technological Innovation (“NATI”) on proceeds from the sale of products developed from research and development activities that were funded, partially, by grants from NATI or its predecessor, the Office of the Israeli Innovation Authority (IIA). At the time the grants were received, successful development of the related projects was not assured.

In the case of failure of a project that was partly financed as described above, the Company is not obligated to pay any such royalties or repay funding received from NATI or the IIA.

Under the terms of the applicable funding arrangements, royalties of 3% to 6% are payable on the sale of products developed from projects funded by NATI or the IIA, which payments shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 100% of the amount of the grant received (dollar linked), plus, commencing upon January 1, 2001, interest at an annual rate based on SOFR. In addition, if the Company receives approval to manufacture products developed with government grants outside the State of Israel, it will, subject to certain exceptions, be required to pay an increased total amount of royalties, depending on the manufacturing volume that is performed outside the State of Israel, and, possibly, an increased royalty rate.

Royalty expenses to NATI or the IIA are included in the statement of operations as a component of the cost of revenues and were approximately $1.2 million, $1.9 million and $1.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively.

At December 31, 2023 and 2024, the maximum total royalty amount payable by the Company under these funding arrangements is approximately $35.5 million and $33.9 million, respectively (without interest, assuming 100% of the funds are payable).

b.    Subcontracting Agreements

The Company has entered into sub-contracting agreements with several clinical providers and consultants in Israel, the United States and certain other countries in connection with its primary product development process. As of December 31, 2024, total commitments under said agreements were approximately $1.5 million.

c.    Fill/Finish Agreement

On August 29, 2022, the Company entered into a Fill/Finish Agreement (the “F/F Agreement”) and a Letter Agreement, in each case with Chiesi. The Company agreed to supply Chiesi with drug substance for pegunigalsidase alfa and, following relevant technology and technical information transfer activities, Chiesi has agreed, among other things, to provide the Company with commercial fill/finish services for pegunigalsidase alfa, including to support the global launch of pegunigalsidase alfa. The F/F Agreement did not change the terms and conditions of the Chiesi Agreements. Subsequently, in November 2024, the Company and Chiesi amended the F/F Agreement to provide that a different Chiesi facility may act as a secondary supplier of such services and that the F/F Agreement shall have an initial term of 10 years, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the F/F Agreement. Prior to expiration of the initial term, the term may be extended by mutual agreement for an additional period of seven years upon mutual written agreement prior to expiration of the initial term. Under the F/F Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay to Chiesi an amount equal to €2.5 million in connection with the necessary technology

transfer, QA tests and capital expenditures. Such amount is to be paid over the term of the F/F agreement based on the actual vials produced by Chiesi thereunder. Under the amendment, the Company and Chiesi agreed to share equally the costs of establishing the new facility as an alternative source for Fill/Finish. The Company’s share of such costs amounting to $400,000 shall be due and payable upon Chiesi’s completion of the manufacture of the requisite validation batches and issuance of the process validation report.
