The three primary services are analytical services, data licensing, and organoid services. The Company intends to utilize the services contemplated under the Amended Tempus Agreement to advance the development of istisociclib (KB-0742) and KB-9558. In consideration for the access to the services throughout the term of the Amended Tempus Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay an annual minimum commitment of $1.5 million in year one, $2.5 million in year two, and $3.0 million in year three. The Company elected to decline to have the term extend into year four. Payments are made in quarterly installments. The annual minimum commitment is nonrefundable and is invoiced quarterly in advance due within 30 days. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a non-cancellable purchase commitment of $0.8 million in the remaining six months of 2024. Tempus provides detailed reporting monthly which serves as the unit of account for calculating expense for actual services utilized for the analytical services, data licensing, and organoid services. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the prepaid expenses relating to Tempus were $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The prepaid expenses are assessed on a periodic basis to determine whether it is probable that services will be provided under the agreement. If the Company does not expect that services will be rendered, the prepaid expense is immediately recognized. The Company is required to make milestone payments upon successful achievement of certain regulatory milestones for istisociclib (KB-0742), lanraplenib, and other discovery pipeline compounds up to a combined maximum of $22.4 million. For each milestone payment that becomes due, the Company has the right to pay up to 50% of such milestone payment amount in shares of its common stock as long as certain regulatory requirements are met. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company determined that achievement of the milestones is not probable, therefore, no corresponding liability has been recorded. Gilead Asset Purchase Agreement In July 2020, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (Gilead Asset Purchase Agreement) with Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead), pursuant to which the Company acquired certain assets from Gilead related to entospletinib and lanraplenib, and patents and other intellectual property covering or related to the development, manufacture and commercialization of entospletinib and lanraplenib. Under the agreement, the Company is required to make milestone payments upon successful achievement of certain regulatory and sales milestones for lanraplenib, entospletinib and other SYK inhibitor compounds covered by the patent rights acquired pursuant to the Gilead Asset Purchase Agreement and developed by us as a back-up to entospletinib or lanraplenib. The Company is also committed to pay royalties ranging from high-single digits to the mid-teens on annual worldwide net sales of any SYK inhibitor compounds. The Company is currently unable to estimate the timing or likelihood of achieving remaining milestones or generating future product sales. Purchase Commitments In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts with contract research organizations (CROs) for preclinical and clinical studies and other vendors for services and products. These agreements generally provide for termination or cancellation, other than for costs already incurred and certain wind down costs that may be associated with the termination of a contract or clinical trial program. Contingencies In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown, because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made. The Company accrues liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. Indemnification In accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, the Company has indemnification obligations to its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while they are serving in such capacity. There have been no claims to date, and the Company has a directors and officers liability insurance policy that may enable it to recover a portion of any amounts paid for future claims. |
