Catalent JNP License Agreement

In April 2018, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Catalent JNP, Inc. (formerly known as Juniper Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and which we refer to as Catalent in this report), under which Catalent granted us (a) an exclusive, royalty-bearing worldwide license under certain patent rights, either owned by or exclusively licensed to Catalent, to make, have made, use, have used, sell, have sold, import and have imported products and processes; and (b) a non-exclusive, royalty-bearing worldwide license to use certain technological information owned by Catalent to make, have made, use, have used, sell, have sold, import and have imported products and processes. As a result of this license agreement, we commenced our DARE-HRT1, DARE-FRT1 and DARE-PTB1 programs. We are entitled to sublicense the rights granted to us under this agreement.

We pay an annual license maintenance fee of $100,000 to Catalent on each anniversary of the date of the agreement, which will be creditable against royalties and other payments due to Catalent in the same calendar year (including milestone payments and sublicense income), but may not be carried forward to any other year. 

Milestone Payments. Catalent is eligible to receive (1) up to $12.5 million in the aggregate in payments based on the achievement of specified clinical and regulatory milestones, and (2) up to $30.3 million in the aggregate in payments based on the achievement of specified commercial sales milestones for each product or process covered by the licenses granted under the agreement.

Royalty Payments. During the royalty term, Catalent is eligible to receive mid single-digit to low double-digit royalties based on worldwide net sales of products and processes covered by the licenses granted under
