4. Convertible promissory note due to Novartis

 

On January 26, 2024, the Company received a termination notice from Novartis Pharma AG, a company organized under the laws of Switzerland (“Novartis”) due to a material breach of that certain license agreement dated April 6, 2018, as amended to date (the “License Agreement”). Accordingly, under the terms of the License Agreement, the Company ceased all development and commercialization activities with respect to all licensed products, all rights and licenses granted by Novartis to the Company reverted to Novartis; and all liabilities due to Novartis became immediately due and payable inclusive of interest which is continuing to accrue at 5% per annum. As of September 30, 2025, the liability is recorded as a current liability on the Company’s condensed unaudited consolidated balance sheets as follows: $3.6 million in accounts payable, $1.4 million convertible promissory notes and accrued interest, net of debt discount, and $0.4 million in accrued liabilities.
