Collaborative Agreements, Royalties and Milestone Payments

The Company has committed to make potential future milestone payments and legal fees to third parties as part of licensing and development programs. Payments under these agreements become due and payable only upon the achievement of certain developmental, regulatory and commercial milestones by the Company’s licensees. Because it is uncertain if and when these milestones will be achieved, such contingencies, aggregating up to $6.3 million (assuming one product per contract meets all milestones events) have not been recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company is unable to determine precisely when and if payment obligations under the agreements will become due as these obligations are based on milestone events, the achievement of which is subject to a significant number of risks and uncertainties. None of these milestones were assessed to be probable as of December 31, 2024.

Contingent Consideration

Pursuant to the Company’s agreements with Aronora, Kuros, Affitech, and Daré, and under the Kinnate CVR Agreement, the Company has committed to pay the Aronora Royalty Milestones, the Kuros Sales Milestones, the remaining Affitech Sales Milestones, the Daré Milestones, the Exarafenib milestone contingent consideration, and the Pulmokine contingent consideration.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $1.0 million for the LadRx contingent consideration that represented the estimated fair value of the potential future payments upon the achievement of regulatory milestones related to arimoclomol and aldoxorubicin at the inception of the LadRx Agreements. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the contingent liability was reduced to zero after the Company paid LadRx $1.0 million upon the FDA’s acceptance of the arimoclomol NDA resubmission. Additionally, the amendment to the LadRx RPA removed the milestone payment that had been contingent upon the achievement of a regulatory milestone related to aldoxorubicin (Note 5).

During the third quarter of 2024, the LadRx commercial sales milestone related to MIPLYFFA pursuant to the LadRx AAA was assessed to be probable under ASC 450. As such, a $1.0 million liability was recorded in contingent consideration under RPAs, AAAs, and CPPAs and a corresponding $1.0 million asset was recorded under long-term royalty and commercial payment receivables under the cost recovery method on the consolidated balance sheet. During the fourth quarter of 2024, this contingent liability was reduced to zero after the Company paid LadRx $1.0 million upon the achievement of the related commercial sales milestone (Note 5).

During the year ended December 31, 2023, two sales milestones related to VABYSMO pursuant to the Affitech CPPA were assessed to be probable under ASC 450. As such, a $6.0 million liability was recorded in contingent consideration under RPAs, AAAs, and CPPAs and a corresponding $6.0 million asset was recorded under long-term royalty and commercial payment receivables on the consolidated balance sheet. During the first quarter of 2024, this

contingent liability was reduced to zero after the Company paid Affitech $6.0 million upon the achievement of the related commercial sales milestones (Note 5).

During the first quarter of 2024, a third sales milestone related to VABYSMO pursuant to the Affitech CPPA was assessed to be probable under ASC 450. As such, a $3.0 million liability was recorded in contingent consideration under RPAs, AAAs, and CPPAs and a corresponding $3.0 million asset was recorded under short-term royalty and commercial payment receivables under the cost recovery method on the consolidated balance sheet. The fourth and last remaining sales milestone related to VABYSMO pursuant to the Affitech CPPA is included in the estimation of expected future cash flows under the EIR method to determine the carrying amount of the short-term royalty and commercial payment receivables under the EIR method as of December 31, 2024. The final $6.0 million in milestones due to Affitech was paid in March 2025.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $3.2 million for the Exarafenib milestone contingent consideration, which represented the estimated fair value of potential future payments upon the achievement of a certain specified milestone related to exarafenib payable to Kinnate CVR holders upon the closing of the Kinnate acquisition under the Kinnate CVR Agreement. The Exarafenib milestone contingent consideration is measured at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in other income (expense), net.

The liability for future Aronora Royalty Milestones, Kuros Sales Milestones, the Daré Milestones, and the Pulmokine contingent consideration will be recorded when the amounts, by product, are probable and reasonably estimable.

As of December 31, 2024, none of the Aronora Royalty Milestones, Kuros Sales Milestones, Daré Milestones, and the Pulmokine contingent consideration were assessed to be probable and as such, no liability was recorded on the consolidated balance sheet.
