On December 17, 2020, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Otsuka for the development and
commercialization of LUPKYNIS in the Otsuka Territories.
As part of the agreement, the Company received an upfront cash payment of $50.0 million in 2020 for the license agreement and has the potential to receive up to $50.0 million in regulatory and pricing approval related milestones. The Company will provide semi-finished product of LUPKYNIS to Otsuka on a cost-plus basis, and will receive tiered royalties on future sales ranging from 10 to 20 percent (dependent on territory and achievement of sale thresholds) on net product sales by Otsuka, along with additional milestone payments based on the attainment of certain annual sales. In addition, certain collaboration services are to be provided to Otsuka on agreed upon rates.
