Brigham and Women’s License Agreement

The Company obtained the worldwide exclusive license to its foundational technology from The Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Inc. (or BWH). The license, as amended, grants worldwide exclusive use to the patent underlying the TargetScan technology in exchange for fees including development milestones and various royalties on product sales should they occur in the future.

 

 

Royalty Agreement

In June 2018, the Company amended and restated an existing royalty agreement with one of its founders. Under the amended and restated royalty agreement, the Company agreed to pay the founder an aggregate royalty of 1% of net sales of any product sold by the Company or by any of its direct or indirect licensees for use in the treatment of any disease or disorder covered by a pending patent application or issued patent held or controlled by the Company as of the last date that the founder was providing services to the Company as a director or consultant under a written agreement in perpetuity. Royalties are payable with respect to each applicable product for a defined period of time set forth in the royalty agreement. The founder assigned his rights and obligations under the royalty agreement to one of his affiliated entities in January 2021.

Lease

On November 1, 2021, the Company entered a new lease for laboratory and office space. This lease will commence when the Company obtains possession of the underlying asset, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company provided a letter of credit in the amount of $4.4 million as a security for the lease, which expires on November 30, 2022, at which point the letter will automatically renew each calendar year up to but not beyond April 1, 2033. The cash securing the letter of credit is classified as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet. Annual fixed rent will start at $7.6 million increasing 3% annually to $9.9 million through the original term of the lease, which is ten years and two months following the lease commencement date. As of March 31, 2022, $1.4 million in payments relating to landlord-owned leasehold improvements was recorded to prepaid rent as a component of other non-current assets. On the lease commencement date, the Company will reclassify the prepayment to the right-of-use asset, thereby increasing its initial value, but it will not be included in the measurement of the lease liability. The lease was not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a component of the Company’s right-of-use asset and operating lease liabilities as the facility is under construction at the date of the issuance of these financial statements.
