In-licensing and Other Research and Development Agreements

Stanford License Agreement

In April 2016, Eidos entered into a license agreement with the Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University Stanford University, or Stanford University, relating to Eidos’ drug discovery and development initiatives. Under this agreement, Eidos has been granted certain worldwide exclusive licenses to make, use, and sell products that are covered by licensed patent rights. In March 2017, Eidos paid a license fee of $10,000, which was recorded as research and development expense during the year ended December 31, 2017, as the acquired assets did not have any alternative future use. Eidos may also be required to make future payments of up to approximately $1.0 million to Stanford University upon achievement of specific intellectual property, clinical and regulatory milestone events, and pay royalties of up to low single-digit percentages on future net sales, if any. In addition, Eidos is obligated to pay Stanford University a percentage of non-royalty revenue received by Eidos from its sublicensees, with the amount owed decreasing annually for three years based on when the applicable sublicense agreement is executed.

Additionally, under the license agreement with Stanford University, we will pay Stanford University a portion of nonroyalty sublicensing consideration attributable to the sublicense of the licensed compounds. The license agreement states that if this event occurred in the third year, 10% is payable to Stanford University. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the cost of license revenue was not material.

Leidos Biomedical Research License and Cooperative Research and Development Agreements

In March 2017, TheRas entered into a cooperative research and development agreement, or Leidos CRADA, with Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc., or Leidos. In December 2018, TheRas and Leidos entered into a license agreement, or Initial Leidos License, under which TheRas was granted certain worldwide exclusive licenses to use the licensed compounds. The Leidos Agreements are related to TheRas’ drug discovery and development initiatives. The Initial Leidos License was terminated in 2021. TheRas and Leidos entered into three subsequent license agreements (“Additional Leidos Licenses”), two in August 2022 related to (i) KRAS G12C inhibitor and (ii) P13Ka breaker compounds, and one in December 2023 related to the PanKRAS inhibitor. The Leidos CRADA, Initial Leidos License, and Additional Leidos Licenses are also referred to herein as the Leidos Agreements. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, TheRas recognized research and development expenses of $3.6 million, $3.2 million, and $2.8 million, respectively, in connection with the Leidos Agreements.

Diagnostics Agreement with Foundation Medicine

As discussed in Note 8, QED and FMI entered into a diagnostics agreement relating to QED’s drug discovery and development initiatives. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, QED recognized research and development expenses of nil, $2.6 million, and $4.2 million, respectively, in connection with this agreement.

Resilience Development and Manufacturing Service Agreements

In September 2023, Aspa Therapeutics, Inc. (“Aspa”) and Adrenas Therapeutics Inc. (“Adrenas”), each entered into a Development and Manufacturing Services Agreement (collectively the “Resilience DMSAs”) and a Project Agreement (collectively the “Resilience PAs”), (collectively the “Resilience Agreements”) with Resilience US, Inc. (“Resilience”), for Resilience to provide contract development, manufacturing, testing and related services with respect to therapeutic and pharmaceutical products for the clinical development applications of BBP-812 and BBP-631, respectively. BBP-812 is an intravenous AAV9 investigational drug product intended for the treatment of children with Canavan Disease, under the age of five years. BBP-631 is an intravenous AAV5 investigational drug product intended for the treatment of adults and children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The Resilience DMSAs have ten-year terms and may each be extended for additional two-year periods. Under the Resilience PAs, Resilience will provide Aspa with a cost sharing credit of the lesser of a fixed percentage of certain agreed upon service costs or $15.5 million. Under the Resilience PAs, Resilience will provide Adrenas with a cost sharing credit of the lesser of a fixed percentage of certain agreed upon service costs or $29.3 million. In addition to the payments for their share of services performed by Resilience, Aspa and Adrenas may each be required to make future payments of up to $10.0 million upon achievement of certain development and approval milestone events, and

royalty payments (mid-single digits for BBP-812 and low-single digits for BBP-631) based on achievement of certain net sales metrics.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, research and development expenses recognized and cost sharing credits received in connection with the Resilience Agreements were immaterial.

Other License and Collaboration Agreements

In addition to the agreements described above, we have also entered into other license and collaboration agreements with various institutions and business entities on terms similar to those described above, none of which are material individually or in the aggregate.
