12. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingent Value Rights Agreement

Each CVR under the CVR Agreement entitles the holder to receive (i) certain cash payments from the net proceeds related to the disposition of Catalyst’s legacy assets, (ii) 100% of the excess cash (net of all current or contingent

liabilities, including transaction-related expenses) retained by the Company in excess of $1.0 million as of the closing date of the Contributions and (iii) 100% of the excess amount, by which the preapproved costs to manage, negotiate, settle and finalize certain third party claims exceed the costs actually incurred with respect to such claims. The CVRs are not transferable, except in certain limited circumstances as provided for in the CVR Agreement, will not be certificated or evidenced by any instrument, and will not be registered with the SEC or listed for trading on any exchange.

In February 2023, Catalyst sold its legacy rare bleeding disorder program to GCBP. As a result, the Company distributed the net cash proceeds received from the GCBP asset sale of $0.2 million to the CVR Holders as well as recorded a $4.5 million long-term CVR derivative liability for the future distribution of the hold-back amount to be received in May 2025. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the CVR derivative liability was $4.7 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments for additional information regarding the CVR derivative liability and GCBP asset sale.

On October 30, 2023, pursuant to the CVR Agreement, the Company recorded a $1.1 million CVR excess closing cash payable upon closing of the Contributions. The CVR excess closing cash payable is anticipated to be distributed among the CVR Holders. The balance of $0.3 million remained outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

Litigation and Legal Matters

The Company is subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or that the resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Purchasing Commitments

Property and Equipment

The Company’s commitments related to purchase of property and equipment contracted but not yet reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements were $1.6 million as of June 30, 2024 and were expected to be incurred within one year.

F351

In September 2020, Gyre Pharmaceuticals entered into an intellectual property (“IP”) transfer agreement (the “F351 Transfer Agreement”) with GNI Japan and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “GNI Group” or “GNI”). According to the F351 Transfer Agreement, Gyre Pharmaceuticals acquired the exclusive right to use Hydronidone IP rights in mainland China and the right of first offer for the global IP rights (the “F351 IP Rights”).

Under the F351 Transfer Agreement, in exchange for the F351 IP Rights, Gyre Pharmaceuticals is obligated to pay GNI Group $4.6 million upon submission of the F351 New Drug Application (the “NDA”) to Center for Drug Evaluation of the National Medical Products Administration (the “NMPA”) of the PRC, $1.2 million after the NDA passes the NMPA’s Center for Food and Drug Review and Inspection’s on-site registration inspection for the F351 product, and $7.0 million upon NMPA’s approval of the NDA.

Research and Development Programs

In addition to the F351 program, as of June 30, 2024, Gyre Pharmaceuticals has committed to allocate $19.0 million toward future research and development activities for various programs.
