License Agreement with Eiken Chemical Co., Ltd.

In July 2020, the Company entered into a patent license agreement (“Eiken Agreement”), with Eiken Chemical Co., Ltd. (“Eiken”). Pursuant to the terms of the Eiken Agreement, Eiken granted the Company a royalty bearing non-transferable, non-assignable, sublicensable (to the Company’s affiliates), non-exclusive license under certain patents, which the Company refers to collectively as the Eiken Licensed Patents, relating, in part, to loop-mediated isothermal amplification, to develop, make, use, sell, offer for sale and dispose of any reagent, product, kit, device, equipment and/or system for nucleic acid-based in-vitro diagnostic tests for detection of SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, which the Company collectively refers to as the Initial Licensed Products, in the United States. The Company also has limited have-made rights with respect to the Eiken Licensed Patents.

The Company is obligated to pay a royalty in the low single-digit percentage on total net sales of all Licensed Products, that will be recorded as a cost of product sold. Royalty expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1.9 million and $4.4 million, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

On March 8, 2022, the Company provided notice of termination of the Eiken Agreement, which became effective May 12, 2022. The Company terminated the Eiken Agreement because certain Eiken Licensed Patents have expired, all of which are locations in which the Company operates. As a result of the termination, the Company is no longer required to make any future royalty payments under the Eiken Agreement.

Technology Services Agreement with Jabil

On September 10, 2020, the Company entered into the Jabil TSA, pursuant to which Jabil will use commercially reasonable efforts to perform certain technical services related to the development of components, assemblies and systems in relation to each project under the agreement as set forth in one or more statement of work, which may include the Company’s COVID-19 test kit and any of its future product candidates.

Manufacturing Services Agreement with Jabil

On September 10, 2020, the Company entered into the Jabil MSA, pursuant to which Jabil will manufacture, test, pack and ship certain electronic assemblies and systems in accordance with the Company’s specifications. Jabil may not subcontract any of its manufacturing services under the Jabil MSA without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company is obligated to provide, on a monthly basis, a rolling 12-month forecast to Jabil as well as 12-months of historical aggregate end customer demand at the finished product level, when available, which will be used to constitute written purchase orders from the Company, and the Company is obligated to purchase the quantity of products that is required by the first four months of each forecast. Jabil is entitled to reject any purchase orders that are not placed in accordance with the forecast.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $14.4 million of non-cancellable purchase commitments pursuant to the manufacturing services agreement with Jabil Inc., and technical services agreement with Jabil.

Other Commitments

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had non-cancellable purchase commitments of $43.3 million, consisting primarily of $27.3 million of raw material purchase commitments, and $9.4 million asset and equipment related to expanding its manufacturing capacity and automation, and $6.7 million related to non-commercial services.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and may provide for general indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future but have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not been subject to any claims or required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations.

The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions limiting the liability of directors, and its amended and restated bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify each of its directors to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws also provide the Board with discretion to indemnify its officers and employees when determined appropriate by the Board. In addition, the Company has entered and expects to continue to enter into agreements to indemnify its directors and executive officers.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of its business. Management is currently not aware of any matters that would be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
