ICT License Acquisition
On November 6, 2025, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with Innovative Cellular Therapeutics Holdings Limited and Innovative Cellular Therapeutics, Inc. (together, “ICT”) for the development and commercialization of LYL273, a novel GCC-targeted CAR T-cell product candidate for the treatment of mCRC and other GCC-expressing cancers (the “ICT License Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the ICT License Agreement, the Company received exclusive global rights, outside of mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, to research, develop, manufacture, commercialize and otherwise exploit LYL273 (“LYL273 license”), along with clinical supply through the technology transfer period (subject to a $10 million cap) (“prepaid clinical supply”), in exchange for an upfront payment of $40 million in cash and the issuance of 1.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock and the cash and equity contingent consideration noted below.
ICT is eligible to receive additional cash and equity payments of (i) a potential $30 million clinical milestone payment, up to $115 million upon the achievement of certain late-stage regulatory milestones and up to $675 million in commercial sales milestones; (ii) up to an additional 1.85 million shares of the Company’s common stock based on the achievement of certain clinical and regulatory milestones; and (iii) tiered royalties ranging from mid-single-digits up to 10% on annual net sales in the United States and low to mid-single-digit royalties on annual net sales in other countries within the licensed territory.
The prepaid clinical supply balance was $3.5 million and $7.5 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded clinical supply expense of $2.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, reducing the prepaid clinical supply balance.
The Company will recognize any future cash milestones or royalty payments in the period in which the cash milestones or royalty payments become due and payable. The Company has not made or accrued for cash milestones or royalty payments as these have not become due and payable.
The Company determined that the milestone payments payable in the Company’s common stock are subject to accounting under ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Consistent with the Company’s treatment of other performance-based equity awards, compensation expense is recognized for the number of shares expected to be earned after assessing the probability that a certain performance condition will be met and the targeted payout level associated with the performance condition expected to be achieved. At each reporting date, the Company is required to evaluate whether achievement of a performance condition is probable. If performance conditions are not met or not expected to be met, any compensation expense previously recognized associated with the awards will be reversed. A clinical milestone for 1.1 million shares of common stock was achieved during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The $19.7 million of stock-based compensation expense related to this clinical milestone was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2025, when achievement of the milestone was initially deemed probable, and was recorded within research and development expense.
The achievement of the clinical milestone triggered the Company’s obligation to issue 1.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock to ICT, which were issued in July 2026. See Note 13, Related-Party Transactions, for information regarding the Company’s related-party relationship with ICT.
ImmPACT Acquisition
In October 2024, the Company acquired ImmPACT Bio USA Inc. (“ImmPACT”) for upfront consideration of $30.0 million in cash (in addition to approximately $11.9 million for ImmPACT’s existing cash balance, net of certain of ImmPACT’s unpaid transaction expenses) and 1.875 million shares of common stock. In July 2025, the Company issued 625,000 shares of common stock valued at $5.9 million upon achieving a specified clinical milestone, fulfilling all contingent equity obligations.
Remaining contingent consideration consists of a low single-digit royalty on future U.S. net sales of the dual‑targeting CD19/20 CAR T‑cell product. Under ASC 815, these royalties are not accounted for as derivatives and are recognized in the period they become due. As of June 30, 2026, no royalty payments have been made or accrued.
