5. LICENSE AND COLLABORATION AGREEMENT

Serum License Agreement

In March 2022, the Company entered into a License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Serum Institute of India Private Limited (“SIIPL”), pursuant to which the Company granted SIIPL an exclusive, sub-licensable, royalty-bearing license to use the Company’s proprietary technology platform to develop, manufacture and commercialize up to three mRNA products in all territories other than the United States, the 27 member states of the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Canada, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan (the “SIIPL Territory”). The first licensed product target will be a shingles product target, and SIIPL has an option to select the additional two licensed product targets through the end of 2024. Under the terms of the Agreement with SIIPL, the Company will provide research search services related to the shingles product target to develop a “proof of concept” and will provide manufacturing technology transfer services. In addition, GreenLight retains the option purchase research plan and clinical trial data, developed by SIIPL, for 50% of the cost of the research plan and clinical trials for use in the Company’s own development.

SIIPL is responsible for the development, formulation, filling and finishing, registration and commercialization of the products in the SIIPL Territory, subject to oversight from a joint steering committee composed of representatives of the Company and SIIPL. SIIPL will use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and obtain regulatory approval for the products in the countries in the SIIPL Territory. The License Agreement includes terms customary in the industry for provisions related to sublicensing, intellectual property, and termination, and customary representations and warranties of GreenLight and SIIPL, along with certain customary covenants, including confidentiality, limitation of liability and indemnity provisions.

 

Pursuant to the License Agreement, SIIPL will pay the Company an upfront license fee of $5.0 million, as well as payments upon additional target selection and reservation

of exclusivity. The Company may receive up to a total of an additional $22.0 million in development, regulatory and commercial (net sales) based milestone payments across all three product targets, as well as manufacturing technology transfer payments up to $10.0 million. SIIPL shall pay royalty payments in the mid-double digits, based on the net sales of products resulting from the licensed technology for the term of the License Agreement. The License Agreement shall terminate on a product-by product and country-by-country basis on the later of the expiration of the patent rights owned by the Company or the tenth anniversary of the first commercial sale of the applicable product(s) in the applicable country. The Company had not received payment of the $5.0 million upfront license fee as of March 31, 2022, thus has recorded a receivable for the amount billed to SIIPL.

 

The Company has determined that the Agreement falls within the scope of ASC 606, as it includes a customer-vendor relation as defined by ASC 606 and meets the criteria

of a contract. The Company has determined that the license of IP granted is not distinct from the research services and thus should be combined. The Agreement contains a single performance obligation for the combined License of IP/research services and the manufacturing technology transfer services. Revenue from the contract will be recognized over time, using an input-method. The Company has determined that variable consideration from the development and regulatory payments in the Agreement should be fully constrained as of March 31, 2022, and commercial milestones and royalties will be recognized in the period the underlying sales occur. Through March 31, 2022, no revenue had been recorded from the Agreement and the entire amount of upfront consideration is recorded as deferred revenue. Based on current estimated timelines, the Company expects to recognize the deferred revenue over approximately 18 months, and the portion expected to be recognized over the next 12 months is classified as current in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022.
