Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings, or may be subject to various demands, claims and threatened litigation, which arise in the normal course of its business or otherwise.
The outcome of any future litigation is uncertain. Such litigation, if not resolved, could result in substantial costs to the Company, including any costs associated with the indemnification of directors and officers, and could lead to a diversion of management resources among other factors.
The Company may be exposed to litigation in connection with its products under development and operations. The Company’s policy is to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes related to legal matters, as well as ranges of probable losses. As of the time of this report, the Company does not believe it is a party to any
claim, proceeding or litigation the outcome of which, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on its business.
License Agreements
In January 2016, Former Elicio entered into a license agreement to license certain intellectual property from a university, which agreement has been amended from time to time to license additional intellectual property. The Company is required to pay certain contractual maintenance and milestone payments related to clinical trials and royalties on product sales over the term of the contract, with minimum annual royalty payments commencing in the calendar year after commercialization. The license term for the January 2016 license agreement extends until terminated by either party under certain provisions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, in accordance with the terms of the license agreement, the Company achieved a milestone related to the ongoing clinical trials and recorded license expense of $0.3 million. No commercialization royalties have been achieved to date.
Future minimum annual maintenance payments are $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for each year thereafter. Future minimum annual payments are due until the termination of the agreement.
