Kolltan Acquisition
Kolltan Acquisition	(14) Kolltan Acquisition On November 29, 2016, the Company acquired all of the share and debt interests of Kolltan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Kolltan”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, in exchange for 1,217,200 shares of the Company’s common stock plus contingent consideration in the form of development, regulatory approval and sales-based milestones (“Kolltan Milestones”) of up to $172.5 million. The Kolltan Milestone payments, if any, may be made, at Celldex’s sole election, in cash, in shares of Celldex’s common stock or a combination of both, subject to provisions of the Merger Agreement. Certain Kolltan Milestones have been abandoned consistent with the provisions of the Merger Agreement and, because of this, as of March 31, 2020, the Company believes that the adjusted amount we may be required to pay for future consideration is up to $127.5 million contingent upon the achievement of the Kolltan Milestones. In October 2019, the Company received a letter from the representative of Kolltan’s former stockholders notifying the Company that it objected to the Company’s abandonment of certain Kolltan Milestones relating to development, regulatory approval and sales-based milestones. The Company disagrees with their objection and believes their objection to be without merit. The Company is discussing with the representative of Kolltan’s former stockholders potential amendments to the Merger Agreement with respect to the Kolltan Milestones. There can be no assurances that an amendment to the Merger Agreement will be completed on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably assess the ultimate outcome of the Company’s disagreement with the representative of Kolltan’s former stockholders over its objection to the Company’s abandonment of certain Kolltan Milestones or determine an estimate of potential losses, if any.
