("TomegaVax") on September 12, 2016 (the "TomegaVax Merger"). The Letter Agreement provides for certain payments to TomegaVax's former stockholders, for no additional consideration, prior to September 2024, in each case so long as the Issuer is continuing to pursue the development of the TomegaVax technology. Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Issuer will be required to pay to the former stockholders of TomegaVax milestone payments of up to an aggregate of $30.0 million if the per-share price of the Issuer's publicly traded common stock, or implied price per share of the Issuer's Series A-1 convertible preferred stock (or common stock upon conversion) upon a certain asset sale, merger or stock sale, is at least $45 (as adjusted in the case of any stock dividend, stock split or other similar recapitalization), with the amount of such payments determined by the share price and/or the stage of the Issuer's clinical development at the time of the relevant event triggering the payment. The share price of the Issuer's publicly traded common stock will be determined using the average of the daily volume-weighted average trading price of the Issuer's common stock for each trading day during a consecutive 90-day period. The foregoing payments are payable (i) during any date after the completion of an initial public offering by the Issuer or any successor or affiliate controlling the TomegaVax technology, provided that no payment will be due before the first anniversary of the initial public offering, (ii) upon the sale of all assets related to the TomegaVax technology or (iii) upon a merger or stock sale of the Issuer or any successor or affiliate controlling the TomegaVax technology, in each case subject to certain conditions with respect to the timing of the payments. The payments under the Letter Agreement can be made in cash or shares of the Issuer's common stock, at the discretion of the Issuer's board of directors. On February 24, 2021, the Issuer achieved one of the milestones related to the specified per-share price of its common stock, which resulted in a $10.0 million payable to TomegaVax's former stockholders within 90 business days of achieving such milestone. The number of shares issuable pursuant to the earn-out right was determined on July 1, 2021 (90 business days after the achievement of such milestone) based on the closing price of the Issuer's common stock on such date, as provided in the Letter Agreement. On July 9, 2021, the Issuer completed the milestone payment to the former TomegaVax stockholders, including the reporting person, through a combination of cash payment and shares of common stock as determined by the Issuer's board of directors. The reporting person's right to receive additional shares became fixed and irrevocable on September 12, 2016, the effective date of the TomegaVax Merger. The remaining $20.0 million in milestone payments will be triggered if (i) the per-share price of the Issuer's publicly traded common stock is at least $45 (as adjusted in the case of any stock dividend, stock split or other similar recapitalization) and upon the achievement of a certain milestone related to the stage of the Issuer's clinical development at the time of the relevant event triggering the payment or (ii) the per-share price of the Issuer's publicly traded common stock is at least $90 (as adjusted in the case of any stock dividend, stock split or other similar recapitalization).
