Bristol-Myers Squibb Company License Agreement
On April 9, 2014, the Company entered into a license agreement (as amended the “BMS License Agreement”) with BMS for exclusive rights for certain patents and a non-exclusive license for certain technology and know-how pertaining to FYARRO.
The BMS License Agreement will remain in effect from the effective date of April 9, 2014 until expiration of all milestone and royalty payment obligations under the agreement, unless terminated by either of the parties pursuant to the terms of the BMS License Agreement, including providing advance notice as specified in the agreement. Under the terms of the BMS License Agreement, BMS agreed to supply the Company with licensed products of FYARRO necessary for clinical or non-clinical development.
Under the terms of the BMS License Agreement, BMS is entitled to receive royalties on net sales from licensed products under the agreement and any sublicense fees. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, royalties on net product sales were $1.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively. No payments related to sublicense fees were paid during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
On August 30, 2021, the Company and BMS entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the BMS License Agreement related to certain intellectual property rights of BMS pertaining to the compound known as FYARRO. Under the terms of the Amendment, the Company paid BMS $5.8 million representing 50% of the previously outstanding payment obligation under the terms of the BMS License Agreement, following the effective time of the 2021 private investment in public equity financing (the"2021 PIPE Financing"). Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the remaining previously outstanding payment obligation of $5.8 million, is due on the third anniversary of the effective time of the 2021
PIPE Financing, or August 26, 2024 plus any accrued and unpaid interest due thereon (the “Balloon Payment”). The Balloon Payment shall accrue interest, beginning August 26, 2021 until paid in full, at a rate equal to 4.00% per annum based on the weighted average amount outstanding during the applicable calendar quarter, and interest is payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, the parties agreed to amend the royalty rates payable to BMS based on net sales of products subject to the BMS License Agreement.
EOC License Agreement
On December 8, 2020, the Company entered into a license agreement (“EOC License Agreement”) with EOC Pharma (Hong Kong) Limited (“EOC”) under which the Company received $14.0 million in January 2021 in non-refundable upfront consideration as partial payment for the rights and licenses granted to EOC by the Company for the further development and commercialization of FYARRO in the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong Special Administration Region, Macao Special Administrative Region and Taiwan (the “Licensed Territory”). In accordance with the BMS License Agreement, the Company is required to pay 20% of all sublicense fees to BMS.
The Company assessed the EOC License Agreement and concluded that EOC was a customer and identified the license of FYARRO provided to EOC as the sole performance obligation. The $14.0 million upfront payment received from EOC is non-refundable and non-creditable and is considered fixed consideration. The Company recognized revenue of $14.0 million in December 2020 when the EOC License Agreement was signed, and the $14.0 million upfront payment was received in January 2021.
The potential milestone payments and royalty payments under the EOC License Agreement were considered variable consideration and were constrained with respect to revenue recognition notification from EOC that the milestone and royalty payments had been achieved.
The Company was eligible to receive an additional $257.0 million in the aggregate upon achievement of certain development, regulatory, and sales milestones, as well as tiered royalties on net sales in the Licensed Territory. Under the terms of the EOC License Agreement, EOC was obligated to fund all research, development, regulatory, marketing and commercialization activities in the defined Licensed Territory. The Company earned $1.0 million in milestone revenue upon achievement of the FDA approval milestone on November 22, 2021. EOC paid the $1.0 million milestone payment in December 2021. In accordance with the BMS License Agreement, 20% of the $1.0 million payment, or $0.2 million, was accrued at December 21, 2021 and paid in January 2022.
On June 27, 2022, the Company received written notice from EOC that EOC elected to terminate the EOC License Agreement, effective immediately, due to alleged material breaches by the Company under such agreement. The Company disagrees with, and continues to dispute, EOC’s allegations of material breach and does not believe that EOC had a right to terminate the EOC License Agreement for material breach, and accordingly believes that the termination of the EOC License Agreement is a termination for convenience. EOC had the right to terminate the agreement for convenience upon 120 days advance written notice. The Company waived such notice period in connection with EOC's termination notice and, as a result, the EOC License Agreement was terminated effective June 27, 2022. Either party had the right to terminate the EOC License Agreement in the event that the other party breached the agreement and failed to cure the breach, became insolvent or challenged certain of the intellectual property rights licensed under the agreement.
