In February 2019, we entered into a Termination and Transfer Agreement, or the Servier Termination Agreement, with Servier, which terminates the Restated Agreement. Under the Servier Termination Agreement, we will continue to be responsible for non-U.S. pharmacovigilance for PIXUVRI, the submission of a marketing authorization application for PIXUVRI and wind down of the PIX306 clinical trial during a transition period, which will last until the European Medicines Agency adopts a position on the PIXUVRI marketing authorization application. Servier agreed to reimburse us €620,000 for costs to be incurred in connection with transition period activities, and if the transition period extends beyond May 31, 2019, Servier will provide additional reimbursement to us not to exceed €50,000 per month or €200,000 in the aggregate. If the EMA’s definitive position results in a standard marketing authorization for PIXUVRI, we will transfer and assign all of our rights and responsibilities for PIXUVRI globally to Servier pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. Alternatively, if the EMA’s definitive position results in a conditional marketing authorization or suspension or withdrawal of the marketing authorization, then, at Servier’s election, we will either transfer and assign all of our rights and responsibilities for PIXUVRI globally to Servier pursuant to an asset purchase agreement or cooperate with Servier in the withdrawal of PIXUVRI from all jurisdictions other than the United States. The Servier Termination Agreement provides that, in either scenario, any asset purchase agreement will require, among other things, Servier to pay us €2.0 million and assume responsibility for all of the obligations related to PIXUVRI, including our remaining royalty payments to Novartis International Pharmaceutical Ltd. and the University of Vermont.
