 its reverse merger pursuant to which the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary merged with and into Aadi Subsidiary, Inc. (formerly Aadi Bioscience, Inc.) (“Private Aadi”), with Private Aadi surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The Company recorded a long-lived contract intangible asset as a result of the Merger, related to the license agreement, dated June 24, 2018, with Gossamer Bio, Inc. (“Gossamer”), as amended (the “Gossamer License Agreement”), which was assumed in the Merger.

The fair value estimate of the intangible asset related to contingent cash flows expected from the out-licensingarrangement, of which 90% of any future net cash proceeds will be remitted to each holder of common stock of the Company’s predecessor, Aerpio, as of immediately prior to the closing of the merger and paid through the contingent value rights (“CVRs”) pursuant to a Contingent Value Rights Agreement, dated as of August 26, 2021 (the “CVR Agreement”). The useful life of the intangible asset was estimated to be approximately 14.3 years. On April 25, 2022, the Company received a formal notice of termination from Gossamer for the Gossamer License Agreement, relating to Gossamer’s GB004 product candidate, a legacy product candidate of Aerpio, after Gossamer announced that its Phase 2 SHIFT-UCclinical trial studying GB004 in patients with mild-to-moderateactive ulcerative colitis did not meet the primary or secondary endpoints at week 12 and the study was being terminated for lack of treatment benefit. The Gossamer License Agreement terminated effective July 24, 2022. Based on the termination of
