Xeris Agreements

In May 2024, the Company and Xeris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Xeris”) entered into a collaboration and license agreement (“Collaboration and License Agreement”). Under the Collaboration and License Agreement, the Company received a worldwide, exclusive, royalty-bearing, sublicensable license under certain patent rights and know-how related to Xeris’ proprietary non-aqueous formulation technology and technology developed during the collaboration (“Xeris Technology”) to develop and commercialize glucagon products that are reformulated using the Xeris Technology and developed by Xeris under a development plan under the Collaboration and License Agreement for use in a pump product or system for glycemic control (“Glucagon Products”) in the field of chronic glycemic control in diabetes mellitus, excluding single-dose, one-time use form for treatment of severe hypoglycemia and diagnostic uses (“Field”). The Company also received a worldwide, exclusive, sublicensable manufacturing license under the Xeris Technology to manufacture Glucagon Products in the Field following a future manufacturing transfer date to be agreed with Xeris and subject to a separate commercial supply agreement.

In consideration for the licenses and other rights granted to the Company under the Collaboration and License Agreement, the Company paid Xeris a one-time payment of $0.5 million, which was included as a component of research and development expenses in the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss and the Company will pay Xeris a one-time milestone payment of $3.0 million upon its achievement of a certain development milestone event. The milestone was achieved and the payment of $3.0 million was made in November 2024. In addition, the Company is required to pay Xeris tiered royalties of low double-digit percentages based on net sales of Glucagon Products by the Company or its sublicensees, subject to certain customary reductions. The Company’s obligation to pay Xeris royalties will commence, on a Glucagon Product-by-Glucagon Product and country-by-country basis, on the first commercial sale of such Glucagon Product in such country and expire on the later of (i) ten years after the first commercial sale of such Glucagon Product in such applicable country; (ii) expiration of the last valid claim of a specified patent right licensed by Xeris covering such Glucagon Product in such country; and (iii) expiration or termination or regulatory exclusivity for such Glucagon Product in the applicable country.

In connection with entering into Phase 2 of the collaboration, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, under its clinical supply arrangement the Company ordered clinical material totaling $0.9 million for Phase 2 clinical trials and paid a deposit equal to 30% of the estimated clinical material costs, which was recognized in prepaid expense and other current assets in the balance sheets. As of March 2025, the clinical materials had been delivered to the Company and the remaining payment of $0.6 million was made.

In connection with entering into Phase 3 of the collaboration, under its clinical supply arrangement, the Company expects to incur development and manufacturing costs, including ordering clinical materials and technical transfer, development, and testing of the product, totaling $5.1 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has completed payments totaling $4.0 million. The payments were initially recognized in prepaid expense and other current assets in the balance sheets and a portion of the payment was expensed to research and development as it related to the services completed.
