The Company filed such Form S-3 on March 29, 2024, and the SEC declared it effective on April 9, 2024 (File No. 333-278362). The Lantheus Investment Agreement also contains agreements of the Company and Lantheus whereby Lantheus is provided certain board observer and information rights of the Company, as well as standstill provisions prohibiting Lantheus from taking certain actions for a specified period of time, subject to certain exceptions. The Lantheus Investment Agreement also provides Lantheus with certain pro rata participation rights to maintain its ownership position in the Company in the event that the Company makes any public or non-public offering of any equity or voting interests in the Company or any securities that are convertible or exchangeable into (or exercisable for) equity or voting interests in the Company, subject to certain exceptions. Pursuant to the Lantheus Investment Agreement, the Company is required to notify Lantheus within 10 business days of the end of a fiscal quarter in which the Company issued shares of Common Stock pursuant to that certain At Market Issuance Sales Agreement among the Company, Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., B.

Upon receipt of such notice, Lantheus may elect, at its option, to purchase all or a portion of its Pro Rata Portion (as defined in the Lantheus Investment Agreement) of such shares at an aggregate price equal to the number of shares purchased multiplied by the ATM Average Price for such quarter (the ATM Participation Right). Pursuant to the Lantheus Investment Agreement, Lantheus may not exercise the ATM Participation Right more than two times per calendar year. Asset Purchase Agreement On January 8, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Progenics APA) with Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Progenics) and affiliate of Lantheus, pursuant to which the Company acquired certain assets and the associated lease of Progenics’ radiopharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Somerset, New Jersey for a purchase price of $ 8.0 million in cash. The transactions contemplated by the Progenics APA closed on March 1, 2024. Option Agreement On January 8, 2024, the Company entered into an option agreement (the Option Agreement) with Lantheus whereby Lantheus was granted an exclusive option to negotiate an exclusive, worldwide, royalty- and milestone-bearing right and license to [ 212 Pb]VMT-α-NET, the Company’s clinical-stage alpha therapy developed for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors. If good-faith negotiations fail, Lantheus has a one-year right to reenter negotiations if a third party offers to purchase or license the [ 212 Pb]VMT-α-NET program. Additionally, Lantheus has a right to co-fund the Investigational New Drug (IND) application, enabling studies for early-stage therapeutic candidates targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen and gastrin-releasing peptide receptor and, prior to IND filing, a right to negotiate for an exclusive license to such candidates. In consideration of the rights granted by the Company to Lantheus pursuant to the Option Agreement, Lantheus paid to the Company a one-time payment of $ 28.0 million, subject to certain withholding provisions associated with the closing of the Progenics APA. Under the terms of the Option Agreement, Lantheus also has a right of first offer and last look protections for any third-party merger and acquisition transactions involving the Company for a 12-month period beginning on January 8, 2024. The Company determined that the Option Agreement should be accounted for as a research and development arrangement in accordance with ASC 730-20, Research and Development Arrangements , as Lantheus held approximately 19.9 % of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock at March 31, 2024. The Option Agreement contains no repayment provisions, does not create any obligation to enter into any license, transfer or sale agreements with Lantheus, and does not restrict the use of the funds in any way. Accordingly, the balance sheet reports current and long-term liabilities related to these options under the caption, “Deferred Income.” The values for each distinct option within the Option Agreement were determined by estimating the fair value of each distinct option by a third-party valuation firm and the liabilities will be recognized as income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as the various options expire.
