In October 2021, the Company entered into an option and license agreement (Beam Agreement) with Beam Therapeutics Inc. (Beam), pursuant to which the Company was granted a non-exclusive license to use Beam’s proprietary CRISPR Cas12b nuclease editing technology to research, develop, and commercialize engineered cell therapy products that (i) are directed to certain antigen targets, with respect to the Company’s allogeneic T cell programs, or (ii) comprise certain human cell types, with respect to the Company’s stem cell-derived programs. The Company made an upfront cash payment of $50.0 million to Beam, which was recorded in research and development expense for the year ended December 31, 2021. Additionally, under the terms of the agreement, the Company may be obligated to pay up to $65.0 million for each licensed product in specified developmental and commercial milestone payments and royalties on licensed products. A member of the Company’s board of directors was, at the time of entry into the Beam Agreement, a beneficial owner of Beam, and is affiliated with a member of the board of directors of Beam.

In March 2019, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with the President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard) to access certain intellectual property for the development of hypoimmune cells.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may be required to pay to Harvard up to an aggregate of $175.0 million in success payments, payable in cash, based on increases in the fair value of the Company’s common stock (Harvard Success Payments). The potential Harvard Success Payments are based on multiples of increased value ranging from 5x to 40x, based on a comparison of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock relative to the original issuance price of $4.00 per share at pre-determined valuation measurement dates, which include the one-year anniversary of our IPO, and periodically thereafter, the date of the consummation of a merger, an asset sale, or the sale of the majority of the shares held by the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stockholders, and the last day of the term of the Harvard Success Payments. As of September 30, 2022, a Harvard Success Payment had not been triggered.

The aggregate amount of the Harvard Success Payments will not exceed an aggregate of $175.0 million, which payment amount would only occur upon a 40x increase in the fair value of the Company’s common stock based on a comparison of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock relative to the original issuance price of $4.00 per share. If a higher success payment tier is first met at the same time a lower tier is first met, both tiers will be owed.

Any previous success payments made to Harvard would be credited against the success payment owed as of any valuation measurement date so that Harvard does not receive multiple success payments in connection with the same threshold. The Harvard Success Payments can be achieved over a maximum of 12 years from the effective date of the agreement.

The following table summarizes the potential success payments and common stock price required for payment:

Multiple of Equity Value at Issuance	5x		10x		20x		30x		40x
Per share common stock price required for payment	$	20.00	$	40.00	$	80.00	$	120.00	$	160.00
Success payment(s) (in millions)	$	5.0	$	15.0	$	30.0	$	50.0	$	75.0

The Harvard Success Payment liabilities are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations in research and development related success payments and contingent consideration. As of September 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Harvard Success Payment liability was $3.8 million, which was recorded in long-term liabilities in the balance sheet. As of December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of the Harvard Success Payment liability was $14.2 million, of which $5.0 million was recorded in short-term liabilities and $9.2 million was recorded in long-term liabilities in the balance sheet. In connection with the change in the estimated fair value of the Harvard Success Payment liability, the Company recognized a gain of $0.2 million and an expense of $3.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and a gain of $10.3 million and an expense of $10.8 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
