One S.r.l. (“One”) Amended Patent License and Assignment Agreement

In June 2019, the Company amended and restated an existing master agreement with One (the “2019 One Amendment”), the original inventor of the Company’s core patents and a related party to the Company (see Notes 19 and 20). Under the amended and restated master agreement following this transaction, the Company eliminated certain future commercial milestone obligations and received a reduction in the percentage of royalties the Company was required to pay on future net sales. In return, One received additional consideration consisting of new future milestones upon the commercial success of new medical indications and a contingently issuable warrant for redeemable convertible preferred stock. Additionally, the Company acquired a 10% equity interest in One in exchange for cash consideration.
 

The Company accounted for the reduction in royalties the Company is required to pay on future net revenues that resulted from the 2019 One Amendment as an intangible asset under ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which shall be amortized over its useful life, which was determined to be the earliest expiration of patents related to the underlying intellectual property in November 2028. The Company accounted for the acquisition of the 10% equity interest in One under ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures.
 

In connection with the acquisition of the 10% equity interest in One, the Company made a payment of $2.9 million to One shareholders during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company had remaining undiscounted payments of €2.5 million and €5.0 million due to One at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively (approximately $2.6 million and $5.7 million due to One at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively). The remaining payments at June 30, 2022 were recorded in accrued

expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as it is expected to be settled within the next twelve months. None of the future milestones under the amended and restated master agreement, have been met, or are deemed to be probable of being met, at the transaction date or at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

A summary of the intangible asset activity that resulted from this transaction during the six months ended June 30, 2022 is as follows (in thousands):

In October 2020, the Company further amended the terms of the agreement with One to cancels its obligation to issue a warrant for redeemable convertible preferred stock in the 2019 One Amendment for additional commercial milestone consideration and a warrant to purchase common stock. Additionally, the Company granted One a contingent call option to buy back the 10% ownership that the Company acquired in the 2019 One Amendment at an exercise price of €6.0 million (approximately $6.3 million at June 30, 2022). The call option is only exercisable upon (1) a change of control or a deemed liquidation event by the Company, as defined, in the Company’s Restated Certification of Incorporation (2) the date in which the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer is no longer affiliated with the Company in his capacity as either an executive officer or a member of the board of directors.

The One S.r.l. call option was recorded as a liability held at fair value at the date of issuance and is remeasured at each subsequent reporting date with changes in fair value recorded in other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The significant inputs used in estimating the fair value of call option liability include the estimated fair value of the underlying stock price, expected term, risk free interest rate, and expected volatility.
