Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 4, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 (the “Day One Amendment”) to the License Agreement for RAF, dated as of December 16, 2019, by and between the Company and Day One Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., successor in interest to DOT Therapeutcs-1, Inc., to monetize a pre-commercialization, event-based milestone for $5.0 million to be received in March 2024, thereby reducing the milestone percentage under the agreement.

On March 4, 2024, in connection with the entry into the Day One Amendment, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 (the “XOMA Amendment”) to the Royalty Purchase Agreement, dated as March 22, 2021, by and between the Company and XOMA (US) LLC, modifying the economic value-share under the Royalty Purchase Agreement, by which the Company has retained the right, under certain circumstances, to participate in a pre-commercialization, event-based milestone up to $5.0 million.

On March 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement by and among the Company and Silicon Valley Bank, now a division of First-Citizens Bank and Trust Company, and Oxford Finance LLC, dated November 4, 2021, as previously amended, providing for a modification of the loan amortization period and a pro rata reduction in the prospective debt amortization schedule, in exchange for a partial prepayment of the term loan. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment, the Company has agreed to remit a prepayment of $5.0 million toward the outstanding principal, plus a pro rata portion of the final payment, by March 15, 2024. Under the terms of the Second Amendment, principal amortization will be deferred between March 2024 and June 2024, and during such time we will be required to make payments of interest-only. Principal amortization payments will recommence in July 2024, followed by 29 equal monthly payments of principal plus accrued interest through maturity. There were no changes to the maturity date of the term loan.

The foregoing descriptions of the Day One Amendment, the XOMA Amendment and the Second Amendment are not complete and each is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such amendments, copies of each of which will be filed as exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
