Auto Opt-Out Event will be deemed a Payment Deficit, which Incyte shall recover pursuant to Section 5.2(c)(iv); and (ii) the Incremental Royalty on Annual Net Sales of Licensed Product in the United States will be paid commencing as of the effective date of such Commercial Auto Opt-Out Event solely until such time as the aggregate payments received by Calithera from such Incremental Royalty equal [ * ] of the aggregate amount of Net Losses actually incurred by Calithera in accordance with this Section 9.5(d) plus [ * ] of the amount of Development Costs actually incurred by Calithera in accordance with Section 5.1(c), and such sum will be included in the Royalty Obligations Following Conversion.  Such effects will be Incyte’s sole remedy, and Calithera’s sole liability, for Calithera’s failure to pay its share of Net Losses by the applicable due date. 

(e)No separate payment shall be made for the last Calendar Quarter in any Calendar Year.  Instead, at the end of each such Calendar Year, a final reconciliation shall be conducted by the Finance Officers by comparing the share of Net Profit or Net Loss to which a Party is otherwise entitled for such Calendar Year pursuant to this Section 9.5 against the sum of all amounts (if any) previously paid or retained by such Party for prior Calendar Quarters during such Calendar Year, and the Parties shall make reconciling payments to one another no later than [ * ] after the end of such Calendar Quarter, if and as necessary to ensure that each Party receives for such Calendar Year its share of Net Profits and bears its share of Net Losses in accordance with this Section 9.5. 

(f)Each Party shall record and account for its FTE effort to the extent that such FTE efforts are included in Allowable Expenses that are, or may in the future be, shared under this Agreement, and shall report such FTE effort to the applicable subcommittee of the JSC, if requested (such request not to be more than on a quarterly basis).  Each Party shall calculate and maintain records of FTE effort incurred by it in the same manner as used for other products developed by such Party, unless the Parties agree to employ other procedures, in which case such other procedures shall be applied equally to both Parties. 

9.6Financial Records.  The Parties shall keep complete and accurate books and records in accordance with the defined Accounting Standards. The parties will keep such books and records for at least [ * ] following the end of the Calendar Year to which they pertain.  Such books of accounts shall be kept at the principal place of business of the financial personnel with responsibility for preparing and maintaining such records. With respect to royalties and sales milestones, such records shall be in sufficient detail to support calculations of royalties and sales milestones due to Calithera.  Calithera and Incyte shall also keep complete and accurate records and books of accounts containing all data reasonably required for the calculation and verification of Allowable Expenses and Development Costs, including internal FTEs utilized by either Party in jointly funded Clinical Trials or other Development and co-Detailing activities.

9.7Audits. 

(a)Each Party may, upon request and at its expense (except as provided for herein), cause one of the “Big Four” accounting firms (Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG or

PricewaterhouseCoopers) selected by it (except one to whom the Auditee has a reasonable objection), (the “Audit Team”) to audit during ordinary business hours the books and records of the other Party and the correctness of any payment made or required to be made to or by such Party, and any report underlying such payment (or lack thereof), pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Prior to commencing its work pursuant to this agreement, the Audit Team shall enter into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Auditee.

(b)In respect of each audit of the Auditee’s books and records: (i) the Auditee may be audited only once per year, (ii) no records for any given year for an Auditee may be audited more than once; provided that the Auditee’s records shall still be made available if such records impact another financial year which is being audited, (iii) the Audit Rights Holder shall only be entitled to audit books and records of an Auditee from the three (3) Calendar Years prior to the Calendar Year in which the audit request is made.

(c)In order to initiate an audit for a particular Calendar Year, the Audit Right Holder must provide written notice to the Auditee. The Audit Rights Holder exercising its audit rights shall provide the Auditee with notice of one or more proposed dates of the audit not less than [ * ] prior to the first proposed date. The Auditee will reasonably accommodate the scheduling of such audit. The Auditee shall provide such Audit Team(s) with full and complete access to the applicable books and records and otherwise reasonably cooperate with such audit.

(d)The audit report and basis for any determination by an Audit Team shall be made available first for review and comment by the Auditee, and the Auditee shall have the right, at its expense, to request a further determination by such Audit Team as to matters which the Auditee disputes (to be completed no more than [ * ] after the first determination is provided to such Auditee and to be limited to the disputed matters). If the Parties disagree as to such further determination, the Audit Right Holder and the Auditee shall mutually select one of the “Big Four” accounting firms (Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG or PricewaterhouseCoopers) that shall make a final determination as to the remaining matters in dispute that shall be binding upon the Parties. Such accountants shall not disclose to the Audit Rights Holder any information relating to the business of the Auditee except that which should properly have been contained in any report required hereunder or otherwise required to be disclosed to such Party to the extent necessary to verify the payments required to be made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(e)If the audit shows any under-reporting or underpayment, or overcharging by any Party, that under-reporting, underpayment or overcharging shall be reported to the Audit Rights Holder and the underpaying or overcharging Party shall remit such underpayment or reimburse such overcompensation to the underpaid or overcharged Party within [ * ] after receiving the audit report. Further, if the audit for an audited period shows an under-reporting or underpayment or an overcharge by any Party for that period in excess of [ * ] of the amounts properly determined, the underpaying or overcharging Party, as the case may be, shall reimburse the applicable underpaid or overcharged Audit Rights Holder conducting the audit, for its respective audit fees and reasonable Out-of-Pocket Costs in connection with said audit, which reimbursement shall be made within [ * ] after receiving appropriate invoices and other support for such audit-related costs.

(f)For the purposes of the audit rights described herein, an individual Party subject to an audit in any given year will be referred to as the “Auditee” and the other Party who has certain and respective rights to audit the books and records of the Auditee will be referred to as the “Audit Rights Holder”.

9.8Tax Matters. 

(a)The royalties, milestones and other amounts payable by pursuant to this Agreement (“Payments”) shall not be reduced on account of any taxes unless required by Law.  Each Party alone shall be responsible for paying any and all taxes (other than withholding taxes required by Law to be deducted and paid by the other Party on such Party’s behalf) levied on account of, or measured in whole or in part by reference to, any Payments it receives. The Parties will cooperate in good faith to obtain the benefit of any relevant tax treaties to minimize as far as reasonably possible any taxes which may be levied on any Payments. Each Party shall deduct or withhold from the Payments any taxes that it is required by Law to deduct or withhold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either Party is entitled under any applicable tax treaty to a reduction of the rate of, or the elimination of, applicable withholding tax, it may deliver to the other Party or the appropriate governmental authority (with the assistance of the other Party to the extent that this is reasonably required and is expressly requested in writing) the prescribed forms necessary to reduce the applicable rate of withholding or to relieve the other Party of its obligation to withhold tax, and the other Party shall apply the reduced rate of withholding tax, or dispense with withholding tax, as the case may be, provided that the other Party has received evidence of such delivery of all applicable forms (and, if necessary, its receipt of appropriate governmental authorization) at least [ * ] prior to the time that the Payment is due.  If, in accordance with the foregoing, a Party withholds any amount, it shall make timely payment to the proper taxing authority of the withheld amount, and send to the other Party proof of such payment within [ * ] following that latter payment.

(b)If a Party is required to make a payment to the other Party subject to a deduction or withholding of tax, then if such deduction or withholding of tax obligation arises as a result of any action by the paying Party, including an assignment of this Agreement, or any failure on the part of such Party to comply with applicable Law, that has the effect of modifying the tax treatment or increasing the tax of the other Party (a “Withholding Tax Action”), then the payment by such Party (in respect of which such deduction or withholding of tax is required to be made) shall be increased by the amount necessary (the “Additional Tax”) to ensure that the payee Party receives an amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such Withholding Tax Action occurred, and the Additional Tax shall be deducted and withheld by the paying Party from the payment made.  The Additional Tax, along with any other tax deducted and withheld from the payment made, shall be timely remitted to the proper governmental authority for the account of the payee Party in accordance with applicable Law.

9.9Currency Exchange; Manner and Place of Payment.  The currency exchange method set out in this Section 9.9 shall be applied for calculations of amounts for (a) Net Sales

and royalties, and (b) Development Costs and Allowable Expenses. With respect to amounts invoiced in United States Dollars, all such amounts shall be expressed in United States Dollars. With respect to amounts invoiced in a currency other than United States Dollars, all such amounts shall be expressed both in the currency in which the amount was invoiced and in the United States Dollar equivalent. The Parties hereby agree that the following procedure is consistent with GAAP and as such the United States Dollar equivalent shall be calculated using the average of the last (bid) U.S. dollar/foreign currency rates for the last Business Day of each month in the Calendar Quarter for which Net Sales, royalties, Development Costs and Allowable Expenses, each as applicable, are being reported, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, for the conversion of foreign currency sales into United States Dollars.  All payments owed under this Agreement shall be made by electronic transfer in immediately available funds to a bank and account designated in writing by the receiving Party.

9.10Late Payments.  The paying Party shall pay interest to the receiving Party on the aggregate amount of any payments that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of the [ * ] or the highest rate permitted by applicable Law, calculated on the number of days such payments are paid after the date such payments are due; provided that with respect to any disputed payments, no interest payment shall be due until such dispute is resolved and the interest which shall be payable thereon shall be based on the finally-resolved amount of such payment, calculated from the original date on which the disputed payment was due through the date on which payment is actually made.

ARTICLE X

TERM AND TERMINATION

10.1Term.  The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof or by mutual written agreement of the Parties, will continue on a country-by-country and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis (a) until the end of the Royalty Term of such Licensed Product in such country, excluding the U.S. unless the Co-Development Opt-Out Right is exercised or an Auto Opt-Out Event occurs, and (b) for so long as Incyte is Developing or Commercializing such Licensed Product in the U.S. (unless the Co-Development Opt-Out Right is exercised or an Auto Opt-Out Event occurs, in which case clause (a) shall apply) (the “Term”). 

10.2Termination.  

(a)Termination for Convenience.  Incyte shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and/or a country-by-country basis or in its entirety for convenience (i) upon [ * ] prior written notice to Calithera if such notice is delivered prior to the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the Hematology/Oncology Field in the Territory and (ii) upon [ * ] prior written notice to Calithera if such notice is delivered after the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the Hematology/Oncology Field in the Territory.

(b)Termination for Material Breach.  If either Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) believes that the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) is in material breach of this Agreement, then the Non-Breaching Party may deliver notice of such breach to the Breaching Party describing such breach in sufficient detail to allow the Breaching Party to cure such breach.  If the Breaching Party fails to cure such breach, or take such steps as would be considered reasonable to effectively cure such breach in accordance with a cure plan reasonably acceptable to the Non-Breaching Party, within the [ * ] (or [ * ] if such material breach is solely based upon a failure to pay any amounts due hereunder) period after delivery of such notice, the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Breaching Party, which termination shall apply (A) on a country-by-country and/or Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis to which such breach relates, or (B) to the Agreement in its entirety, at the discretion of the Non-Breaching Party; provided that Calithera shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement (in whole or in part) under this Section 10.2(b) [ * ].  If such breach is not based solely upon a failure to pay amounts due hereunder and is not capable of cure during such [ * ] period, and if during such [ * ] the Breaching Party is undertaking steps that would be considered reasonable to effectively cure such breach in accordance with a cure plan reasonably acceptable to the Non-Breaching Party, the cure period shall be extended by an additional [ * ].  For clarity, in the event of an Auto Opt-Out Event, Incyte shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement (in its in entirety or with respect to any Licensed Product or country) under this Section 10.2(b).

(c)Termination for Bankruptcy.  Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon written notice as a result of the other Party experiencing a Bankruptcy Event; provided that such termination shall be effective only if such event is not dismissed within [ * ] after the institution thereof.

(d)Termination Disputes.  If a Party gives notice of termination under Section 10.2(b) and the other Party disputes whether such notice was proper (including disputing the existence or materiality of the breach specified in a notice provided by the other Party under Section 10.2(b)), then the issue of whether or not this Agreement (in its entirety or with respect to a Licensed Product and/or country, as applicable) was properly terminated shall be resolved in accordance with ARTICLE XIV, and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until such dispute is resolved.  If as a result of such dispute resolution process it is determined that the notice of termination was proper, then such termination shall be effective on the date on which such dispute is resolved if it is not cured within the cure periods set forth in Section 10.2(b) (measured from the date on which the dispute is resolved).  On the other hand, if as a result of the dispute resolution process it is determined that the notice of termination was improper, then no termination shall have occurred and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

(e)Termination for Patent Challenge.  Except to the extent the following is unenforceable under the Laws of a particular jurisdiction, either Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety on [ * ] notice if the other Party or its Affiliates, individually or in association with any other Person, commences a legal action challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of any Calithera Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights.

10.3Effects of Termination.

(a)Effects of Incyte Termination for Convenience, Bankruptcy or Patent Challenge or Calithera Termination for Incyte Breach, Bankruptcy or Patent Challenge.  If this Agreement is terminated by Incyte pursuant to Section 10.2(a), (c) or (e) or by Calithera pursuant to Sections 10.2(b), (c) or (e), then with respect to the terminated Licensed Product and/or country, or this Agreement in its entirety, as applicable, the following will apply: 

(i)all rights and licenses granted by Calithera hereunder, including Sections 2.1, 4.1(c) and 9.3(c), shall immediately terminate; provided that Incyte may sell off its existing inventory of Licensed Products for a period of [ * ], subject to all payments accrued to Calithera under ARTICLE IX on account of any commercial sales (including milestone payments, royalty payments and Net Profit payments); 

(ii)Incyte shall transition the conduct of any on-going Clinical Trials to Calithera or, at Calithera’s election (on a Clinical Trial-by-Clinical Trial basis), wind down such Clinical Trials, and Incyte shall remain [ * ] after the effective date of such termination, and shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by the Parties to wind down any such Clinical Trial;

(iii)Incyte hereby grants to Calithera, effective only upon such termination, an exclusive, worldwide, fully-paid, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license, with the right to grant multiple tiers of sublicenses, under Incyte’s rights in the Arising IP and under any other Patent Rights and Know-How Controlled by Incyte and its Affiliates that were actually used in connection with the terminated Licensed Products, to Develop, make, have made, use, import, export, register, offer for sale, sell and distribute terminated Licensed Products in the terminated country (ies) for all uses.  In addition, effective upon such termination, the scope of the license granted in Section 2.5(b), if any, will expand to include the Hematology/Oncology Field but such expansion shall be non-exclusive.

(iv)Incyte shall, as promptly as commercially practicable, assign to Calithera all right, title and interest in and to all trademarks used or to be used with any terminated Licensed Product in the terminated country (ies) (excluding any such trademarks that include, in whole or part, any corporate name or logo of Incyte or its Affiliates), including any goodwill associated therewith, and will transfer all promotional materials related to the terminated Licensed Products in the terminated country (ies) to Calithera.

If any such agreement between Incyte and a Third Party is not assignable to Calithera (whether by such agreement’s terms or because such agreement does not relate solely to terminated Licensed Products in terminated country (ies)) but is otherwise reasonably necessary for Calithera to continue Developing, manufacturing, or Commercializing the terminated Licensed Products, then Incyte shall reasonably cooperate with Calithera to negotiate for the continuation of services from such Third Party.

(vii)If Incyte manufactures the terminated Licensed Product itself (and thus there is no manufacturing agreement to assign), then Incyte shall supply bulk Licensed Compound or finished terminated Licensed Product, as applicable, to Calithera or its designee, at a price equal to Incyte’s actual cost, for a reasonable period (not to exceed [ * ] after the effective date of such termination), pursuant to a supply agreement to be negotiated in good faith by the Parties.

If Incyte has the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 10.2(b) on account of Calithera’s uncured material breach, in its entirety or with respect to a Licensed Product and/or country, then Incyte shall have the right to elect by written notice to Calithera delivered within [ * ] after such right first takes effect, either (i) in lieu of termination, to continue this Agreement in effect and for Calithera to pay Incyte [ * ] of all damages finally awarded to Incyte pursuant to Section 14.1 (or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties) on account of such uncured material breach by Calithera, which damages Incyte may recover by direct payment from Calithera or by setting off such damages against amounts payable to Calithera under this Agreement, until fully recovered, or (ii) to terminate this Agreement, the effects of which termination shall be as negotiated by the Parties as of such time and in light of the nature and extent of such uncured material breach.

WILMINGTON, DE AND SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA, January 30, 2017 – Incyte Corporation (NASDAQ: INCY) and Calithera Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: CALA) announce today that the companies have entered into a global collaboration and license agreement for the research, development and commercialization of Calithera’s first-in-class, small molecule arginase inhibitor CB-1158 in hematology and oncology. CB-1158 is currently being studied in a monotherapy dose escalation trial and additional studies are expected to evaluate CB-1158 in combination with immuno-oncology agents, including anti-PD-1 therapy.

“Arginase-expressing tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells have been shown to play an important role in orchestrating the immune suppressive microenvironment in cancer; but, to date, therapeutic targeting of the arginase enzyme has remained elusive,” said Reid Huber, Ph.D., Incyte’s Chief Scientific Officer. “The addition of this first-in-class, small molecule arginase inhibitor, CB-1158, to our portfolio expands our innovative immuno-oncology pipeline and allows us to continue to advance our mission of discovering and developing immune-active combination therapies to treat patients with cancer.” 

“In this strategic partnership with Incyte, CB-1158 is expected to be evaluated in multiple trials of novel therapeutic combinations, accelerating its development across hematological and oncology indications,” said Susan Molineaux, Ph.D., Calithera’s Chief Executive Officer.

 



 

Terms of the Collaboration 

Under the terms of the collaboration and license agreement, Calithera will receive an up-front payment of $45 million from Incyte. In addition, Incyte will make an equity investment in Calithera of $8 million through the purchase of shares at a weighted average price of $4.65 per share. 

Incyte will receive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize CB-1158 in hematology and oncology and Calithera will retain the right to research, develop and commercialize certain other arginase inhibitors in certain orphan indications. 

Incyte and Calithera will jointly conduct and co-fund development of CB-1158, with Incyte leading global development activities.  Incyte will fund 70 percent of global development and Calithera will be responsible for the remaining 30 percent. In the event of regulatory approvals and commercialization of CB-1158, Incyte and Calithera will share in any future U.S. profits and losses (receiving 60 percent and 40 percent, respectively) and Calithera will be eligible to receive over $430 million in potential development, regulatory and commercialization milestones from Incyte. Per the terms of the agreement, Calithera will have the right to co-detail CB-1158 in the U.S. and also be eligible to receive from Incyte tiered royalties based on future ex-U.S. sales, with rates ranging from low-to-mid double-digits.

The agreement also provides that Calithera may choose to opt out of its co-funding obligations. In this scenario, Calithera would no longer be eligible to receive future U.S. profits and losses but would be eligible to receive up to $750 million in potential development, regulatory and commercialization milestones from Incyte and, if the product is approved and commercialized, also be eligible to receive reimbursement based on previous development expenditures incurred by Calithera and tiered royalty payments on future global sales of CB-1158, with rates ranging from low-to-mid double-digits. 

The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2017, subject to customary closing conditions.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

Calithera will host a conference call today to discuss this collaboration at 8:30 a.m. ET, 5:30 a.m. PT.  Participants may access the call by dialing (855)783-2599 (domestic) or (631)485-4877 (international) and referencing conference ID 58716954. The conference call will also be available by webcast in the Investor Relations page of Calithera’s website, www.calithera.com.  The archived webcast will remain available for replay for 30 days. 

About Arginase 

Arginase is an enzyme produced by immunosuppressive myeloid cells, including myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and neutrophils, which prevents T-cell and natural killer (NK) cell activation in tumors. Arginase exerts its immunosuppressive effect by depleting the amino acid arginine in the tumor microenvironment which subsequently prevents activation and proliferation of the immune system’s cytotoxic T-cells and NK-cells. Inhibition of arginase activity reverses this 

 



 

immunosuppressive block and restores T-cell function. In preclinical models, arginase inhibition has been shown to enhance anti-tumor immunity and inhibit tumor growth.

About Calithera Biosciences

Calithera Biosciences, Inc. is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel small molecule drugs directed against tumor metabolism and tumor immunology targets for the treatment of cancer.  Calithera’s lead product candidate, CB-839, is a potent, selective, reversible and orally bioavailable inhibitor of glutaminase. CB-839 takes advantage of the pronounced dependency many cancers have on the nutrient glutamine for growth and survival. It is currently being evaluated in Phase 1/2 clinical trials in combination with standard of care agents.  CB-1158 is a first-in-class immuno-oncology metabolic checkpoint inhibitor targeting arginase, a critical immunosuppressive enzyme responsible for T-cell suppression by myeloid-derived suppressor cells.  Arginase depletes arginine, a nutrient that is critical for the activation, growth and survival of the body’s cancer-fighting immune cells, known as cytotoxic T-cells.  CB-1158 is currently in a Phase I clinical trial.  Calithera is headquartered in South San Francisco, California.  For more information about Calithera, please visit www.calithera.com.

Forward-Looking Statements 

Except for the historical information set forth herein, the matters set forth in this press release contain predictions, estimates and other forward-looking statements, including without limitation statements regarding: whether CB-1158 will successfully advance through clinical studies or will ever be approved for use in humans anywhere or will be commercialized anywhere successfully or at all; whether CB-1158 will be effective in the treatment of cancer; and whether and when any of the milestone payments or royalties under this collaboration will ever be paid by Incyte. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially, including unanticipated developments in and risks related to: obtaining approval for this planned collaboration; research and development efforts related to the collaboration programs; the possibility that results of clinical trials may be unsuccessful or insufficient to meet applicable regulatory standards or warrant continued development; other market or economic factors; unanticipated delays; each company’s ability to compete against parties with greater financial or other resources; greater than expected expenses; and such other risks detailed from time to time in each company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 filed by each company.
