License Agreements

Note 5. License Agreements

The Company enters into arrangements to in-license research and development technology rights with third parties relating to its clinical and pre-clinical programs and product candidates. These arrangements may include non-refundable, upfront payments, payments for options to acquire additional rights relating to its product candidates, as well as contingent obligations for potential development, regulatory and commercial performance milestone payments, and royalty payments. The Company’s obligation to make payments for contingent obligations is contingent upon the respective milestones being achieved as well as its continued involvement in the programs and/or the lack of any adverse events which could cause the discontinuance of the programs. The activities under these license agreements are performed with no guarantee of either technological or commercial success.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $2.8 million and $2.9 million as research and development expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations related to license agreements, and $1.0 million and $2.5 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s license agreements for technologies optioned by the Company, including the Medivir agreement described below, included potential future payments for development, regulatory, and sales milestones totaling approximately $365.9 million plus royalties on net sales that range from single digits to mid-teens.

Medivir Agreement

In January 2021, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Medivir AB (Medivir) through which the Company received global, exclusive development and commercialization rights for birinapant, a clinical-stage Second Mitochondrial-derived Activator of Caspases (SMAC) mimetic. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company made an upfront payment of $1.0 million upon signing the agreement, and made an additional $1.5 million payment in November 2021 due to the Company's initiation of a Phase 1 clinical trial of IGM-8444 in combination with birinapant. Under the terms of the agreement, should birinapant be successfully developed and approved, the Company is obligated to make additional milestone payments up to a total of approximately $348.5 million, plus tiered royalties from the mid-single digits up to mid-teens on net sales.
