On March 31, 2021, Immunic AG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Immunic, Inc. (the “Company”), and 4SC AG (“4SC”) entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which Immunic AG will settle its remaining obligation of a 4.4% royalty for $17.25 million. The payment will be made 50% in cash and 50% in shares of Immunic’s common stock (the “Shares”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file and have declared effective a resale shelf registration statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of the Shares.
Immunic AG acquired IMU-838 from 4SC AG pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated May 13, 2016. With the execution of the Agreement, no further payment obligations remain between Immunic AG and 4SC.
