Gates Foundation Grants
The Company previously entered into various grant agreements with the Gates Foundation (formerly known as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation), under which it was awarded grants to support its HIV vaccine program, tuberculosis vaccine program, HIV vaccinal antibody program and malaria vaccinal antibody program.
In 2022, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with the Gates Foundation, under which the Gates Foundation purchased 881,365 shares of the Company’s common stock on January 13, 2022, at a price per share of $45.38, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $40.0 million, which is used in furtherance of Gates Foundation’s charitable purposes to develop the Company’s vaccinal antibody program, in each case for use in specified developing countries.
The fair market value of the common stock issued to the Gates Foundation was $28.5 million, based on the closing stock price of $37.65 per share on the closing date and taking into account a discount for the lack of marketability due to the restrictions in place on the underlying shares, resulting in a $11.3 million premium received by the Company. The Company accounted for the common stock issued to the Gates Foundation based on its fair market value on the closing date. The stock purchase premium is recognized over time as required research and development activities are performed to advance the Company’s vaccinal antibody program. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had unrecognized premium balance of $9.0 million, including $4.0 million as part of accrued and other liabilities and $5.0 million as part of other long-term liabilities.
During 2025, all of the grant agreements expired except for the HIV vaccine program. Upon the expiration of the vaccinal antibody program grant the Company returned $9.5 million of unused grant funds to the Gates Foundation. The term of the HIV vaccine program grant agreement will expire mid- 2027, unless earlier terminated by the Gates Foundation for the Company’s breach, failure to progress the funded project, in the event of the Company’s change of control, change in the Company’s tax status, or significant changes in the Company’s leadership that the Gates Foundation reasonably believes may threaten the success of the project.
Grant payments received in advance that are related to future research activities are deferred and recognized as revenue as the required research and development activities are performed. The grant revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was not material. The grant revenue for three months ended March 31, 2025 was $1.2 million. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $1.8 million within accrued and other liabilities, related to funds to be refunded to the Gates Foundation. The funds related to the $1.8 million liability as of March 31, 2026 is classified within restricted cash and cash equivalents, current.
