Acquisition of Assets

19. Acquisition of Assets

On February 6, 2023, the Company acquired Cerveau. Cerveau holds the rights under a license agreement to develop and commercialize MK-6240, an investigational second-generation F 18-labeled positron emission tomography (“PET”) imaging agent that targets Tau tangles in Alzheimer’s disease. The Company determined that upon review of the Cerveau acquisition, the transaction did not meet the definition of a business combination and is therefore treated as an asset acquisition.

In February 2023, the Company made an upfront payment of approximately $35.3 million to the Cerveau Stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders”) and paid the Selling Stockholders an additional $10.0 million in May 2023 upon the successful completion of a technology transfer. The Company could pay up to an additional $51.0 million in milestone payments upon achievement of specified U.S. regulatory milestones related to MK-6240. The Selling Stockholders are also eligible to receive up to $1.2 billion in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual commercial sales thresholds of MK-6240 in the event the Company pursues commercialization, as well as up to $13.5 million in research revenue milestones upon achievement of specified annual research revenue thresholds. Additionally, the Company will pay to the Selling Stockholders up to double-digit royalty payments for research revenue and commercial sales. Research revenue is derived from existing partnerships with pharmaceutical companies that use MK-6240 in clinical trials. The purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company purchased Cerveau specified, among other things, that certain Selling Stockholders provide transition and clinical development services for a prescribed time following the closing of the transaction.

On January 8, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Perspective to participate in the next qualified financing to purchase shares of Perspective common stock (“Perspective Shares”). On January 22, 2024, the Company purchased 56,342,355 Perspective Shares, representing 11.39% of the outstanding shares of Perspective common stock, at the fair market offering price of $0.37 per share. Included within the agreement is a covenant which allows for the Company to designate one observer to Perspective’s board of directors. The observer has the option to attend any or all board meetings in a nonvoting capacity and the right to receive any board materials, except under certain instances where attorney-client privilege is necessary, where the material relates to business or contractual relationship with the Company, to avoid bona fide conflict of interest, exposure of trade secrets or relating to a change of control transaction. The Company also purchased 60,431,039 Perspective Shares at a fair market purchase price of $0.95 per share as an investor in a private placement transaction on March 6, 2024, which resulted in the Company holding a cumulative 19.90% of the outstanding Perspective Shares (or 17.35% on a fully diluted basis) after giving effect to the closing of the private placement transaction. The Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of Perspective because the Company’s board observer has no voting rights and there is otherwise no participation in policy-making processes, no interchange of managerial personnel, and no sharing of technology between the Company and Perspective.

Also effective January 8, 2024, the Company obtained the following options and rights from Perspective for an aggregate upfront payment of $28.0 million in cash:

•An exclusive option from Perspective to negotiate for an exclusive license under the rights of Perspective and its affiliates to Perspective’s Pb212-VMT-⍺-NET, a clinical stage alpha therapy developed for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors, to develop, manufacture, commercialize and otherwise exploit the VMT-α-NET Product.

•A right to co-fund the investigational new drug application (“IND”) enabling studies for early-stage therapeutic candidates targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen and gastrin releasing peptide receptor and, prior to IND filing, a right to negotiate for an exclusive license to such candidates.

•A right of first offer and last look protections for any third party merger and acquisition transactions involving Perspective for a twelve-month period.

Costs of IPR&D projects acquired as part of an asset acquisition that have no alternative future use are expensed when incurred, and therefore, a charge of $28.0 million was recognized in research and development expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Also effective January 8, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Perspective to transfer the Somerset Facility and the associated assets at the Somerset Facility for $8.0 million. The transfer of the sublease and completion of the asset sale occurred on March 1, 2024 at which time the Company had no further continuing legal obligations related to the lease. See Note 7, "Property, Plant and Equipment, Net" for additional details.

On June 14, 2024 Perspective effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split, after which the Company held 11,677,339 shares of Perspective’s common stock.

On June 15, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Radiopharm Theranostics Limited (“Radiopharm”) to acquire all of Radiopharm’s rights to two licensed preclinical assets for an upfront payment of $2.0 million. The Company acquired global exclusive rights to both an LRRC15-targeted monoclonal antibody referred to as DUNP19 and to a Trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (“TROP2”)-targeted nanobody. LRRC15 is a potential first-in-class, highly specific monoclonal antibody radio-conjugate with both Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease designations from the FDA for the treatment of osteosarcoma. The agent is designed to target the surrounding tumor micro-environment cells expressing the protein potentially treating a broad range of cancers. The TROP2-targeted nanobody radio-conjugate is designed to target TROP2, an intracellular calcium signal transducer that is overexpressed in various types of adenocarcinomas with minimal expression in normal tissues and is associated with tumor aggressiveness, poor prognosis and drug resistance.

In connection with this acquisition, the Company is assuming the underlying license agreements related to the two preclinical assets, together with their respective milestone and royalty payment obligations. The Company could pay up to an additional $20.0 million in milestone payments upon achievement of specified regulatory milestones. The Company could also pay up to an additional $6.5 million in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual commercial sales thresholds in the event the Company pursues commercialization as well as royalty payments for commercial sales. Costs of IPR&D projects acquired as part of an asset acquisition that have no alternative future use are expensed when incurred, and therefore, a charge of $2.0 million was recognized in research and development expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The Company also entered an agreement with Radiopharm to make an initial equity investment of approximately $5.0 million to purchase 149,625,180 Radiopharm shares at the fair market offering price of $0.03 per share. Included within the agreement is an option to invest an additional $5.0 million within six months on the same terms which would result in the Company purchasing approximately an additional 149,925,040 Radiopharm shares. The aforementioned agreement is predicated on the approval of Radiopharm’s shareholder vote that is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2024.

On June 18, 2024, the Company acquired Meilleur, including its investigational asset NAV-4694, an F 18-labeled PET imaging agent that targets beta amyloids in Alzheimer’s disease. The Company determined that upon review of the Meilleur acquisition, the transaction did not meet the definition of a business combination and is therefore treated as an asset acquisition.

The Company made an upfront payment of approximately $32.9 million to the Meilleur Stockholders on June 18, 2024 and expects to pay an additional $10.0 million upon successful completion of a technology transfer. The Company could pay up to an additional $43.0 million in milestone payments upon achievement of specified U.S. regulatory milestones related to NAV-4694. The Meilleur Stockholders are also eligible to receive up to $830.0 million in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual commercial sales thresholds of NAV-4694 in the event the Company pursues commercialization as well as up to $5.0 million in research milestones upon achievement of specified clinical studies at academic institutions thresholds. Research revenue is derived from existing partnerships with pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions that use NAV-4694 in clinical trials. Additionally, the Company could pay the Meilleur Stockholders up to double-digit royalty payments for research revenue and, in the event the Company pursues commercialization, commercial sales. Certain members of the Meilleur Stockholders will also provide transition and clinical development services for a prescribed time following the closing of the transaction for a fair market value fee.

On June 27, 2024, the Company announced it had acquired the global rights to Life Molecular Imaging’s RM2, which targets the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR), including the associated novel, clinical-stage radiotherapeutic and radiodiagnostic pair,

referred to as 177Lu-DOTA-RM2 and 68Ga-DOTA-RM2, for an upfront payment of $35.0 million plus a $1.0 million payment made prior to the close date. The Company could pay up to an additional 132.5 million Euros in regulatory milestone payments upon achievement of clinical trial thresholds and approvals in different regions. The Company could pay up to 280.0 million Euros in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual commercial sales threshold of RM2 in the event the Company pursues commercialization. Additionally, the Company could pay up to 25.0 million Euros for collaboration payments inclusive of all costs including employee costs, payments due to Universities, out-of-pocket expenses and services costs, as well as up to 5.0 million Euros for any additional development services performed by Life Molecular Imaging during the 24-month period immediately following the close date. Costs of IPR&D projects acquired as part of an asset acquisition that have no alternative future use are expensed when incurred, and therefore, a charge of $36.0 million was recognized in research and development expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Global rights are exclusive for therapeutic fields in all countries and diagnostic fields in the Americas and co-exclusive with Life Molecular Imaging for diagnostic fields outside of the Americas. 68Ga-DOTA-RM2 targets cancers overexpressing GRPR, such as prostate, breast, lung, pancreatic, colorectal, gastric and ovarian cancers and has been extensively studied in various tumor types.
