In February 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity in Cobalt, a privately-held early-stage biotechnology company developing a platform technology using its fusogen technology to specifically and consistently deliver various biological payloads to cells (the Cobalt acquisition).

As part of the Cobalt acquisition, the Company recorded an intangible asset of $59.2 million, which consists of IPR&D that is classified as indefinite-lived until the successful completion of the associated research and development technology, at which point it becomes a finite-lived asset and will be amortized over its estimated useful life. If the research and development technology is abandoned, an impairment charge will be recorded. The Company is actively developing the fusogen technology and, accordingly, the intangible asset is not complete. Amortization will begin when regulatory approval of a product candidate developed using the fusogen technology is obtained in a major market, typically either the United States or the European Union.

The Company recognized $140.6 million of goodwill as a result of the Cobalt acquisition, which is primarily attributable to the value the acquisition provides the Company by complementing the Company’s ex vivo portfolio with in vivo cell engineering technology and furthering the Company’s research in using engineered cells as medicines. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions in the Cobalt acquisition agreement, the Company has an obligation to pay to certain former Cobalt stockholders contingent consideration (Cobalt Contingent Consideration) of up to an aggregate of $500.0 million upon the achievement of certain pre-specified development milestones and a success payment (Cobalt Success Payment) of up to $500.0 million, each of which is payable in cash or stock. The Cobalt Success Payment is payable if, at pre-determined valuation measurement dates, the Company’s market capitalization equals or exceeds $8.1 billion, and the Company is advancing a program based on the fusogen technology in a clinical trial pursuant to an investigational new drug application (IND), or has filed for, or received approval for, a biologics license application (BLA) or new drug application (NDA) for a product developed using the fusogen technology. A valuation measurement date would also be triggered upon a change of control of the Company if at least one of the Company’s programs based on the fusogen technology is an active research program at the time of such change of control. If the Company’s market capitalization is below $8.1 billion as of the date of a change of control, the amount of the potential Cobalt Success

Payment will decrease, and the amount of potential Cobalt Contingent Consideration will increase. As of December 31, 2022, a Cobalt Success Payment had not been triggered.

The following table sets forth various thresholds for the Company’s market capitalizations as of the date of a change of control and the resulting potential Cobalt Success Payment and additional potential Cobalt Contingent Consideration:

Sana market capitalization upon a change of control and resulting impact to Cobalt Success Payment and additional potential Cobalt Contingent Consideration	Cobalt Success Payment		Additional potential Cobalt Contingent Consideration
	(in millions)
Equal to or exceeds $8.1 billion	$	500	$	-
Equal to or exceeds $7.4 billion, but less than $8.1 billion		150		350
Equal to or exceeds $6.8 billion, but less than $7.4 billion		100		400
Less than $6.8 billion		-		500

The Cobalt Success Payment and Cobalt Contingent Consideration liabilities are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in research and development related success payments and contingent consideration. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the estimated fair value of the Cobalt Success Payment liability was $19.0 million and $88.3 million, respectively, and was recorded in long-term liabilities. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 the Company recognized a gain of $69.3 million and expenses of $23.6 million and $62.3 million, respectively, in connection with the change in fair value of the Cobalt Success Payment.

As of December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Cobalt Contingent Consideration was $150.4 million, of which $55.4 million was recorded in short-term liabilities and $95.0 million was recorded in long-term liabilities. As of December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of the Cobalt Contingent Consideration was $153.7 million of which $51.4 million was recorded in short-term liabilities and $102.3 million was recorded in long-term liabilities. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, the Company recognized a gain of $3.4 million and expenses of $31.8 million and $52.8 million, respectively, in connection with the change in fair value of the Cobalt Contingent Consideration.
