Commitments and Contingencies	11. Commitments and Contingencies License Agreement In December 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement (“Merck License Agreement”) with MSD International GmbH, an affiliate of Merck & Co, Inc. (“Merck”) for the development, manufacture and commercialization of ruzasvir. Ruzasvir is the NS5A inhibitor the Company is developing in combination with bemnifosbuvir for the treatment of HCV. Pursuant to the terms of the Merck License Agreement, the Company obtained from Merck a worldwide exclusive (subject to certain reserved rights to conduct internal research) and sublicensable license under certain Merck patents and know-how to research, develop, manufacture, have manufactured, use, import, export, sell, offer for sale, and otherwise commercialize ruzasvir or products containing ruzasvir (each a “Product”) for all therapeutic or prophylactic uses in humans. In addition to a non-refundable upfront payment that the Company made in February 2022, the Company will be required to pay Merck milestone payments upon its achievement of certain development, regulatory and sales-based milestones. Additionally, the Company will pay Merck tiered royalties based on annual net sales of Products ranging from high single digits to mid-teens percentages. The Company’s royalty payment obligations will continue until the later of (i) the expiration of the last to expire valid claim of a licensed Merck patent claiming such Product and (ii) a period of years after the first commercial sale of such Product in such country. The Company may terminate the Merck License Agreement for convenience upon prior written notice. The first milestone in the amount of $5,000 became due and payable and the related expense was recognized in April 2025 upon the initiation of the HCV Phase 3 clinical trial referred to as C-Beyond. The Company expects to recognize the milestone payment as research and development expense in the three months ending June 30, 2025. The next potential milestone under the Merck License Agreement, in the amount of $10,000, is payable upon the acceptance by the US Food and Drug Administration of a new drug application covering a product candidate including ruzasvir which the Company expects will be the regimen of bemnifosbuvir and ruzasvir for the treatment of HCV. Contingent Consulting Fee The Company has an agreement with a consultant that requires payment of a success fee calculated as a percentage of certain product sales, subject to a cumulative maximum payout of $5,000. This success payment is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the timing and likelihood of such payment is neither probable nor estimable. Indemnification The Company enters into certain types of contracts that contingently requires the Company to indemnify various parties against claims from third parties. These contracts primarily relate to (i) the Company’s bylaws, under which the Company must indemnify directors and executive officers, and may indemnify other officers and employees, for liabilities arising out of their relationship with the Company, (ii) contracts under which the Company must indemnify directors and certain officers and consultants for liabilities arising out of their relationship with the Company, and (iii) procurement, service or license agreements under which the Company may be required to indemnify vendors, service providers or licensees for certain claims, including claims that may be brought against them arising from the Company’s acts or omissions with respect to the Company’s products, technology, intellectual property or services. From time to time, the Company may receive indemnification claims under these contracts in the normal course of business. In the event that one or more of these matters were to result in a claim against the Company, an adverse outcome, including a judgment or settlement, may cause a material adverse effect on the Company’s future business, operating results or financial condition. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount payable under these contracts since the Company has no history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular claim will be determinative.
