 has the right to exercise its option, on a program-by-program basis, upon our completion of certain IND-enabling activities for an option payment of $60 million. If the option is exercised by Gilead at this stage, the collaboration terms for optioned programs will be applicable to each research program except, with respect to commercialization outside of the U.S., Gilead would pay us tiered royalties as a percentage of revenues ranging from high single digits to low double digits. If Gilead declines to exercise its option at this stage, Gilead maintains an option, on a program-by-program basis, which must be exercised prior to the expiration of a prescribed period following the achievement of a clinical development milestone in such program and our delivery to Gilead of the requisite data package. If the option is exercised by Gilead at this later clinical stage for an option payment of $150 million, the collaboration terms for optioned programs will be applicable to the joint development program including that, with respect to commercialization outside of the U.S., Gilead would pay us tiered royalties as a percentage of revenues ranging from the high-teens to the low twenties.

With respect to the Inflammation Research Programs, we have received an aggregate of $35 million for the two Inflammation Research Programs that have been jointly selected and will receive an upfront payment of $17.5 million for any additional Inflammation Research Program selected prior to May 12, 2025. For Inflammation Research Programs, Gilead will have an option to license each program at two separate, prespecified time points. For the first two Inflammation Research Programs, Gilead has the right, on a program-by-program basis, to either (i) exercise its option upon our completion of certain IND-enabling activities for an option payment of $45 million or (ii) extend its option and exercise it following the achievement of a clinical development milestone for an option payment of $150 million. If Gilead exercises its option at the earlier time point for the first two programs, we would be eligible to receive up to $375 million in regulatory and commercial milestone payments as well as tiered royalties for each optioned program. For any other Inflammation Research Program option exercised by Gilead, the parties would have rights to co-develop and share global development costs and to co-commercialize and share profits in the U.S. for that program.
