On August 1, 2023, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) with a third party pursuant to which the Company sold to the counterparty, concurrently with the execution of the APA, certain assets related to the Company’s non-genotoxic conditioning technology in exchange for upfront and contingent milestone payments totaling up to approximately $1.5 million in the aggregate and reimbursement of certain research and development amounts incurred prior to closing, as well as royalties on net sales by the acquirer of certain products incorporating the acquired technology, potential fees upon the completion of certain transactions by the acquirer, and reimbursement of certain research and development amounts incurred prior to closing of approximately $0.6 million.

License and Option to Acquire Nula-Cel Assets

On August 4, 2023, the Company entered into a license and option agreement (the “LOA”) with a third party pursuant to which the Company exclusively licensed to the counterparty, and granted the counterparty an option to acquire, certain intellectual property and materials related to the Company’s nulabeglogene autogedtemcel (nula-cel) program and related pre-clinical platform assets. Exercise of the option is contingent on the counterparty timely achieving a financing milestone, and all rights to the intellectual property and materials will revert to the Company if the milestone is not achieved or if the counterparty elects not to exercise the option. In return for this license and option, the Company received an equity interest in the counterparty representing 20% of all outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis.
