Termination and Transition Agreement with Debiopharm International S.A. In February 2015 and as amended in August 2015, the Company entered into a termination and transition agreement with Debiopharm International S.A., or “Debiopharm”, to terminate the August 5, 2009 license agreement between the Company and Debiopharm, under which the Company granted Debiopharm an exclusive, worldwide license to Debio 0932, a small molecule inhibitor of Heat Shock Protein 90, or HSP90, as amended. For a complete discussion of the collaboration, including royalties and sublicense fees payable to Debiopharm by the Company, see Note 4 included in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Under the terms of the termination and transition agreement, the licenses and all other rights granted by the Company related to Debio 0932 terminated and reverted to the Company, effective as of the termination date. Debiopharm ceased enrollment in all clinical trials as of the termination date. In addition, the Company exercised its right, pursuant to the license agreement, to obtain a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license, with the right to sublicense, under intellectual property rights of Debiopharm to develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, have sold, and import Debio 0932 and any product containing Debio 0932. Debiopharm transferred to the Company the U.S. investigational new drug application related to Debio 0932. Debiopharm also assigned to the Company its sole patent application related to Debio 0932.

Under the terms of the February 2015 transition agreement, Debiopharm transitioned to the Company all ongoing Debio 0932 development and manufacturing activities, manufacturing technology necessary for Debio 0932 manufacture, and all data relating to Debio 0932 generated by or on behalf of Debiopharm.

The Company paid $750,000 to Debiopharm, primarily in consideration for Debiopharm providing drug product for use in the Company’s future clinical studies, which has been recorded within the research and development line item of its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company has made no other payments to Debiopharm pursuant to this agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
