**SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS**

*Some of the statements under the captions "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business" and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our business and our industry and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our company's or our industry's results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied in, or contemplated by, the forward-looking statements. Our actual results and the timing of events may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include those discussed under the heading "Item 1A. Risk Factors" as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.* 

*These and many other factors could affect our future financial and operating results. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events after the date of this report.*

*In addition, statements that "we believe" and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.*

**RISK FACTOR SUMMARY**

*Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Below is a summary of material factors that make an investment in our securities speculative or risky. Importantly, this summary does not address all of the risks that we face. Additional discussion of the risks summarized in this risk factor summary, as well as other risks that we face, can be found under the heading "Item 1A. Risk Factors" below.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Our ability to grow our company is dependent upon the commercial success of CABOMETYX in its approved indications and, to a lesser degree, the continued clinical development, regulatory approval, clinical acceptance and commercial success of the cabozantinib franchise.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• If we are unable to obtain or maintain coverage and reimbursement for our products from government and other third-party payers, our business will suffer.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Current healthcare laws, policies, and regulations in the U.S. and future legislative or regulatory reforms to the U.S. healthcare system, including those related to drug pricing, may affect our ability to commercialize our marketed products profitably. Pricing for pharmaceutical products in the U.S. has come under increasing attention and scrutiny by federal and state governments, legislative bodies and enforcement agencies. Initiatives arising from this scrutiny may result in changes that have the effect of reducing our revenue, or harming our business or reputation.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• The timing of the entrance of generic competitors to CABOMETYX and legislative and regulatory action designed to reduce barriers to the development, approval and adoption of generic drugs in the U.S. could limit the revenue we derive from our products, most notably CABOMETYX, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• We may be unable to expand our discovery and development pipeline, which could limit our growth and revenue potential.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Clinical testing of our product candidates is a lengthy, costly, complex and uncertain process that may ultimately fail to demonstrate sufficiently differentiated safety and efficacy data for those products to compete in our highly competitive market environment.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• The regulatory approval processes of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and comparable foreign regulatory authorities are lengthy, uncertain and subject to change, and may not result in regulatory approvals for additional cabozantinib indications or for our other product candidates, such as zanzalintinib, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Our profitability could be negatively impacted if expenses associated with our extensive drug discovery, clinical development, business development and commercialization activities grow more quickly than the revenues we generate.*

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Our clinical, regulatory and commercial collaborations with major companies make us reliant on those companies for their continued performance and investments, which subjects us to a number of risks. For example, we rely on Ipsen Pharma SAS (Ipsen) and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (Takeda) for the commercial success of CABOMETYX in its approved indications outside of the U.S., and we are unable to control the amount or timing of resources expended by these collaboration partners in the commercialization of CABOMETYX in its approved indications outside of the U.S. In addition, our growth potential is dependent in part upon companies with which we have entered research collaborations, in-licensing arrangements and similar business development relationships.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• We are subject to healthcare laws, regulations and enforcement, as well as laws and regulations relating to privacy, data collection and processing of personal data; our failure to comply with those and other laws could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Data breaches and other cybersecurity incidents impacting our information technology operations and infrastructure could compromise our intellectual property or other sensitive information, damage our operations and cause significant harm to our business and reputation.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property, third parties may be able to use our technology, which could adversely affect our ability to compete in the market.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• The loss of key personnel or the inability to retain and, where necessary, attract additional personnel could impair our ability to operate successfully.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Our goals and disclosures related to environmental, social and governance matters subjects us to risks, including risks to our market perception and stock price.*

**BASIS OF PRESENTATION**

*We have adopted a 52- or 53-week fiscal year policy that generally ends on the Friday closest to December 31st. Fiscal year 2025, which was a 52-week fiscal year, ended on January 2, 2026; fiscal year 2024, which was a 53-week fiscal year, ended on January 3, 2025; and fiscal year 2023, which was a 52-week fiscal year, ended on December 29, 2023. For convenience, references in this report as of and for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2026, January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, are indicated as being as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In fiscal year 2026, the annual period will end on January 1, 2027 and will be a 52-week fiscal year.*

**PART I**

**Item 1. Business.**

**Overview** 

Exelixis, Inc. (Exelixis, we, our or us) is an oncology company innovating next-generation medicines and regimens at the forefront of cancer care. We have produced four marketed pharmaceutical products, two of which are formulations of our flagship molecule, cabozantinib, and we are steadily advancing and evolving our product pipeline portfolio, including our lead clinical asset, zanzalintinib, currently under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of certain forms of colorectal cancer (CRC), as well as the focus of an extensive late-stage clinical development program in other indications. With a rational and disciplined approach to investment, we are leveraging our internal experience and expertise and the strength of strategic partnerships, to identify and pursue opportunities across the landscape of scientific modalities, including small molecules and biotherapeutics, such as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).

Sales related to cabozantinib account for the majority of our revenues. Cabozantinib is an inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases, including MET, AXL, VEGF receptors and RET and has been approved by the FDA, and in 68 other countries for all or a combination of, the following: as CABOMETYX® (cabozantinib) tablets for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (both alone and in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company's (BMS) nivolumab (OPDIVO®)), previously treated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), previously treated, radioactive iodine (RAI)-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic, well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) and extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (epNET); and as COMETRIQ® (cabozantinib) capsules for progressive, metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). For physicians treating these types of cancer, cabozantinib has become or is becoming an important medicine in their selection of effective therapies.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

The other two products resulting from our discovery efforts are: COTELLIC® (cobimetinib), an inhibitor of MEK, approved as part of multiple combination regimens to treat specific forms of advanced melanoma and marketed under a collaboration with Genentech, Inc. (a member of the Roche Group) (Genentech); and MINNEBRO® (esaxerenone), an oral, non-steroidal, selective blocker of the mineralocorticoid receptor, approved for the treatment of hypertension in Japan and licensed to Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited (Daiichi Sankyo). See "—Collaborations and Business Development Activities—Other Collaborations."

2025 was our ninth consecutive year of annual profitability; it featured growth in net product revenues of approximately 17% year-over-year as a result of increased sales of our cabozantinib products in the U.S., supplemented by an approximately 7% year-over-year increase in royalties earned pursuant to collaboration agreements with our ex-U.S. partners. We plan to continue leveraging our operating cash flows to advance a broad array of diverse biotherapeutics and small molecule programs for the treatment of cancer, as well as to support company-sponsored and externally sponsored clinical trials evaluating cabozantinib and zanzalintinib. Zanzalintinib is a novel oral inhibitor of kinases including the TAM kinases (TYRO3, AXL, MER), MET and VEGF receptors. Our zanzalintinib development program includes a series of ongoing and planned pivotal trials to explore its therapeutic potential in CRC, clear cell (cc) and non-clear cell (ncc) RCC, neuroendocrine tumors (NET) and meningioma, as well as earlier-stage trials. Our pipeline programs in phase 1 development each have best-in-class potential and include: XL309, a small molecule inhibitor of USP1, which has emerged as a synthetic lethal target in the context of BRCA-mutated tumors; XB010, an ADC consisting of a monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) payload conjugated to a monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting the tumor antigen 5T4; XB628, a first-in-class bispecific antibody that simultaneously targets programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and natural killer cell receptor group 2A (NKG2A), identified as key regulators of adaptive and innate immune cell activity; and XB371, a next-generation tissue factor (TF)-targeting ADC with a topoisomerase inhibitor payload. We complement our internal drug discovery and development efforts by in-licensing or acquiring, or obtaining options to in-license or acquire, investigational oncology assets from third parties if those oncology assets demonstrate evidence of, or potential for, clinical success.

In 2025, 2024 and 2023, we generated $2,122.8 million, $1,809.4 million and $1,628.9 million, respectively, in net product revenues from sales of CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ. Outside the U.S., we rely on collaboration partners for the commercialization of our cabozantinib products; Ipsen is responsible for all territories outside of the U.S. and Japan, and Takeda is responsible for the Japanese market. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, we earned $179.2 million, $166.9 million and $148.5 million, respectively, of royalties on net sales of cabozantinib products outside of the U.S. For additional information on the terms of our collaboration agreements with Ipsen and Takeda, see "—Collaborations and Business Development Activities—Cabozantinib Commercial Collaborations*.*"

***Renal Cell Carcinoma - CABOMETYX is a Leading Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) Treatment Option for Patients with Advanced RCC***

Over time, CABOMETYX has been increasingly adopted in the treatment of patients with RCC, reflecting its establishment as a standard of care in clinical practice. In 2026, approximately 34,000 patients with advanced kidney cancer will require systemic therapy in the U.S., with approximately 22,000 patients receiving first-line treatment.

Since CABOMETYX was first approved, we have deployed our Medical Affairs and Commercial teams to educate physicians about CABOMETYX. We believe that the commercial success of CABOMETYX is attributable to the strength of the clinical data reflected in its FDA-approved labeling for advanced RCC. The indications for the treatment of advanced RCC in the CABOMETYX label are based on the results of the METEOR, CABOSUN and CheckMate -9ER clinical trials. In July 2015, we announced positive results of METEOR, a phase 3 pivotal trial comparing CABOMETYX to everolimus in patients with advanced RCC who have experienced disease progression following treatment with at least one prior VEGF receptor inhibitor. These results formed the basis for FDA approval in April 2016, following which CABOMETYX became the first single-agent therapy approved in the U.S. for previously treated advanced RCC to demonstrate statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in three key efficacy parameters in a global pivotal trial: overall survival (OS); progression-free survival (PFS); and objective response rate (ORR). To date, CABOMETYX remains the only single-agent therapy to have achieved these clinical results in previously treated advanced RCC. In October 2016, we announced positive results from CABOSUN, a randomized, open-label, active-controlled phase 2 investigator-sponsored trial (IST) conducted by the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology (the Alliance), comparing cabozantinib with sunitinib in patients with previously untreated advanced RCC with intermediate- or poor-risk disease. These results formed the basis for FDA approval in December 2017 of CABOMETYX for previously untreated patients with advanced RCC. For this patient population, CABOMETYX is the only approved single-agent therapy to demonstrate improved PFS compared with sunitinib, a first-generation TKI that was the previous standard of care.

CABOMETYX has also demonstrated positive clinical results in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), most notably in CheckMate -9ER, an open-label, randomized, multinational phase 3 pivotal trial evaluating CABOMETYX in combination with nivolumab versus sunitinib in patients with previously untreated, advanced or metastatic RCC. Results from CheckMate -9ER demonstrated that the combination of CABOMETYX and nivolumab doubled PFS and ORR and reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 40% compared with sunitinib and formed the basis for FDA approval of the combination in January 2021 as a first-line treatment of patients with advanced RCC. At five years of follow-up, the CheckMate -9ER results continued to show superior PFS and ORR in patients treated with CABOMETYX in combination with nivolumab over sunitinib, regardless of risk classification (as determined by International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium scores). Superior OS was also observed in patients treated with the combination. These results were featured in an oral presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Genitourinary Cancers Symposium in February 2025.

In addition, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), the nation's foremost non-profit alliance of leading cancer centers, has included the combination of CABOMETYX with nivolumab in its Clinical Practice Guidelines for Kidney Cancer as a Category 1 preferred option for the first-line treatment of patients with ccRCC across all risk groups, and as a Category 2A other recommended option for first-line nccRCC. The NCCN also lists single-agent CABOMETYX as a recommended regimen for patients with previously treated advanced ccRCC, supporting CABOMETYX's position in the RCC treatment landscape across lines of therapy.

In 2025, in markets outside the U.S., we continued to work closely with our collaboration partner Ipsen in support of its regulatory strategy and commercialization efforts for CABOMETYX, both as a single agent and in combination with nivolumab, and similarly with our collaboration partner Takeda with respect to the Japanese market. As a result of the approvals of CABOMETYX and/or the combination of CABOMETYX with nivolumab for RCC indications in 68 countries outside of the U.S., including the Member States of the EEA, Japan, the U.K., Canada, Brazil, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia and Hong Kong, CABOMETYX has continued to grow markedly outside the U.S. both in sales revenue and the number of RCC patients benefiting from its clinical effect.

***Hepatocellular Carcinoma - CABOMETYX Offers an Important Alternative for Patients with Previously Treated HCC***

Liver cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide, accounting for more than 800,000 new cases and 700,000 deaths each year. In the U.S., the incidence of liver cancer has tripled over the past four decades. Although HCC is the most common form of liver cancer, making up almost three-fourths of the more than approximately 42,000 cases of liver cancer estimated to be diagnosed in the U.S. during 2026, this patient population has long been underserved. Prior to 2017, therapies for the treatment of HCC were limited in number. Biopharmaceutical companies have since developed new and demonstrably more effective therapies for previously untreated HCC patients, including ICI combination therapies. These new treatment options have improved longer-term outcomes for HCC patients, thereby resulting in a greater number of people receiving multiple lines of therapy. Thus, the second- and later-line market for HCC therapies has become increasingly competitive, and we believe this trend may continue over the coming years, with monotherapy CABOMETYX maintaining an important place in the HCC treatment landscape.

The FDA approved the HCC indication for CABOMETYX in January 2019 based on our phase 3 pivotal study, CELESTIAL. The CELESTIAL study met its primary endpoint, demonstrating that cabozantinib significantly improved OS compared to placebo. The NCCN has included CABOMETYX in its Clinical Practice Guidelines for Hepatocellular Carcinoma as a Category 1 option for the treatment of patients with HCC as a subsequent-line systemic therapy if disease progression occurs, providing further support for CABOMETYX as an important treatment option for eligible HCC patients.

Outside the U.S., the EMA's approval of CABOMETYX provided physicians in the EEA with a second approved therapy for the second-line treatment of this aggressive and difficult-to-treat cancer, and approvals from Health Canada and the Japanese PMDA brought a much-needed treatment option to HCC patients in those countries. In addition to the Member States of the EEA, Japan, the U.K. and Canada, CABOMETYX is also approved for previously treated HCC indications in Brazil, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia and Hong Kong, among other countries.

***Differentiated Thyroid Cancer - An Opportunity for CABOMETYX to Help an Underserved Patient Population***

Approximately 45,000 new cases of thyroid cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2026. Differentiated thyroid tumors, which make up about 90% of all thyroid cancers, are typically treated with surgery followed by ablation of the remaining thyroid with RAI. Approximately 5% to 15% of differentiated thyroid tumors are resistant to RAI treatment. With limited treatment options, these patients have a life expectancy of three to six years from the time metastatic lesions are detected. In December 2020, we announced that COSMIC-311, our phase 3 pivotal trial evaluating cabozantinib in patients with RAI-refractory DTC who have progressed after receiving up to two prior VEGF receptor-targeted therapies, met one of its two primary endpoints, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in PFS compared with placebo. In September 2021, the FDA approved CABOMETYX for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with locally advanced or metastatic DTC that has progressed following prior VEGF receptor-targeted therapy and who are RAI-refractory or ineligible. We have established a strong market position for CABOMETYX since our commercial launch for previously treated DTC.

Outside the U.S., our collaboration partner Ipsen received approval from the EMA in May 2022 for CABOMETYX as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic DTC, refractory or not eligible to RAI who have progressed during or after prior systemic therapy, which followed an approval from Health Canada in April 2022 to market CABOMETYX for a similar DTC indication.

***Pancreatic Neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) and extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (epNET) – CABOMETYX Offers a New Treatment Option for Patients with pNET and epNET***

It is estimated that there are approximately 161,000 to 192,000 people currently living with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic NET. The number of people diagnosed with NET each year has been increasing. Most NET take years to develop and grow slowly, but eventually all patients with advanced or metastatic NET will develop refractory and

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

progressing disease. NET can develop in any part of the body, but most commonly start in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract or in the lungs, where they have historically been referred to as carcinoid tumors and are more recently called epNET. The five-year survival rate for people with advanced GI-NET is 68%. NET can also start in the pancreas as pNET where they tend to be more aggressive, with a five-year survival rate of 19% for people with advanced pNET.

In August 2023, we announced that the Alliance independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board unanimously recommended to unblind and stop the CABINET phase 3 pivotal trial evaluating cabozantinib versus placebo in patients with pNET and epNET who experienced progression after prior systemic therapy due to a dramatic improvement in efficacy that was observed at an interim analysis. In March 2025, we announced that the FDA approved CABOMETYX for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic, well-differentiated pNET and epNET. Since our commercial launch of CABOMETYX in this patient population, we have established a strong market position for CABOMETYX.

Outside the U.S., Ipsen received approval for CABOMETYX as a treatment for previously treated, well- differentiated/unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic pNET or epNET (with local labeling variations) from the EC for the EEA and health regulatory authorities in Brazil and Australia in July 2025, and from health regulatory authorities in Switzerland and Singapore in October 2025 and December 2025, respectively.

***Medullary Thyroid Cancer - COMETRIQ, the First Commercial Approval of Cabozantinib***

Estimates suggest that there will be approximately 1,000 MTC cases diagnosed in the U.S. in 2026, and COMETRIQ has served as an important treatment option for these patients since January 2013. The FDA approved COMETRIQ for progressive, metastatic MTC based on our phase 3 pivotal trial, EXAM. The EXAM trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful prolongation in PFS for cabozantinib compared with placebo. We are continuing to market COMETRIQ capsules for MTC patients at the labeled dose of 140 mg.

**Exelixis Development Programs**

***Cabozantinib Development Program***

Cabozantinib inhibits the activity of tyrosine kinases, including MET, AXL, VEGF receptors and RET. These receptor tyrosine kinases are involved in both normal cellular function and in pathologic processes such as oncogenesis, metastasis, tumor angiogenesis, drug resistance and maintenance of the tumor microenvironment. Beyond the established clinical benefits of cabozantinib in its approved indications, objective responses have been observed in patients treated with cabozantinib in additional individual tumor types investigated in early- and late-stage clinical trials, reflecting the medicine's broad clinical potential. Our collaboration partners Ipsen and Takeda have also conducted trials in their respective territories through independently-sponsored programs, as well as co-funding select cabozantinib trials with us.

*Combination Studies with Roche*

We have entered into collaborations with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. (Roche) for the purpose of evaluating the combination of cabozantinib and Roche's anti-PD-L1 ICI, atezolizumab, diversifying our exploration of cabozantinib combinations with ICIs.

*COSMIC-021 - Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors*. In February 2017, we entered into a master clinical supply agreement with Roche. As part of the clinical supply agreement, in June 2017, we initiated COSMIC-021, a large phase 1b study evaluating the safety and tolerability of cabozantinib in combination with atezolizumab in patients with a wide variety of locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. We are the trial sponsor of COSMIC-021, and Roche is providing atezolizumab free of charge. The study is divided into two parts: a dose-escalation phase, which was completed in 2018; and an expansion cohort phase, which completed enrollment in January 2022. Enrollment in the expansion phase of this study included 20 combination therapy tumor expansion cohorts in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), extra-pelvic metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), RCC and various other tumor types.

*CONTACT-02 - mCRPC.* Building on preclinical and clinical observations that cabozantinib in combination with ICIs may promote a more immune-permissive tumor environment, in June 2020, we initiated CONTACT-02, a phase 3 pivotal trial sponsored by us and co-funded by Roche, evaluating the combination of cabozantinib and Roche's ICI, atezolizumab, versus a second novel hormonal therapy (NHT) in patients with measurable, mCRPC who have progressed after treatment with one prior NHT. In August 2023, we announced positive top-line results from CONTACT-02. The trial met one of two primary endpoints, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in the predefined PFS intent-to-treat population

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

(ITT) (i.e., the first 400 randomized patients), and these data were presented at the ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium in January 2024. For the second primary endpoint of OS, the final analysis for CONTACT-02, which was presented during the GU Tumours Proffered Paper Session at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress in September 2024, demonstrated a trend favoring the combination of cabozantinib and atezolizumab; however, it was not statistically significant. Based on these results and the evolution of the treatment landscape in mCRPC, in July 2025, we announced our intention not to file a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for CONTACT-02.

*Trials Conducted through our CRADA with NCI-CTEP and our IST Program*

Independent investigators also conduct trials evaluating cabozantinib through our Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (NCI-CTEP) or through our IST program. In October 2011, we entered into a CRADA with NCI-CTEP for the clinical development of cabozantinib and have extended its term through October 2026. The CRADA reflects a commitment by NCI-CTEP to provide funding for the broad exploration of cabozantinib's potential in a wide variety of cancers, each representing a substantial unmet medical need. Investigational New Drug (IND) applications for trials under the CRADA are held by NCI-CTEP. NCI-CTEP also retains rights to any inventions made in whole or in part by NCI-CTEP investigators. However, for inventions that claim the use and/or the composition of cabozantinib, we have an automatic option to elect a worldwide, non-exclusive license to cabozantinib inventions for commercial purposes, with the right to sublicense to affiliates or collaborators working on our behalf, as well as an additional, separate option to negotiate an exclusive license to cabozantinib inventions. Further, before any trial proposed under the CRADA may commence, the protocol is subject to our review and approval.

PDIGREE is an ongoing phase 3 trial led by the Alliance that is enrolling 1,110 intermediate- or poor-risk advanced RCC patients who have a clear cell component in their tumors. All patients are initially treated with up to four cycles of induction ipilimumab combined with nivolumab. Subsequently, patients are treated based on their response to the induction therapy. Patients achieving a complete response (CR) continue on maintenance nivolumab, while patients with progressive disease (PD) are switched to cabozantinib monotherapy. Patients who neither achieve a CR nor develop PD during induction are randomized 1:1 to either maintenance nivolumab or nivolumab in combination with cabozantinib 40 mg daily. The primary endpoint is OS, while PFS, CR rate, ORR and safety are among the secondary endpoints.

Clinical trials conducted with support from these external partners have enabled further expansion of the cabozantinib development program and cabozantinib franchise with less burden on our internal development resources, most recently reflected by the March 2025 FDA approval of CABOMETYX for patients with previously treated advanced NET, which was based on results from the Alliance-led CABINET phase 3 pivotal study. In addition to facilitating label expansion for the cabozantinib franchise, data sets from these externally sponsored clinical trials may also prove valuable by informing our development plans for zanzalintinib.

***Pipeline Development Programs - Advancing Exelixis' Future Cancer Therapy Candidates***

To continue growing our pipeline, we are investing heavily in the identification, exploration and advancement of new molecules that are clinically differentiated with the potential to improve the standard of care for cancer patients. Several product candidates have progressed into clinical trials, including both small molecules and biotherapeutics that we have discovered or in-licensed and believe have the potential to treat a variety of cancers, outside of the cabozantinib franchise.

***Small Molecule Programs***

Since its formation in 2000, our small molecule drug discovery team has advanced over 25 compounds to the IND Application-stage, either independently or with collaboration partners, and today we deploy our drug discovery expertise to advance small molecule programs toward and through preclinical development. These efforts are led by our experienced scientists, including some of the same scientists who led the efforts to discover cabozantinib, cobimetinib and esaxerenone, all of which are now commercially distributed drug products. The furthest along of our internally-discovered small molecule product candidates is zanzalintinib, which is now being evaluated in a series of phase 1, 2 and 3 clinical trials, as described in further detail below. We also augment our small molecule discovery activities through research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements.

*Zanzalintinib Development Program*

Zanzalintinib is a novel oral inhibitor of kinases including the TAM kinases (TYRO3, AXL, MER), MET and VEGF receptors, which are implicated in cancer's growth and spread. Zanzalintinib has a pharmacokinetic half-life of approximately one day, supporting once-daily dosing, which could translate into more effective management of adverse events and a potentially favorable safety profile compared with other VEGF-receptor TKIs. Taken together with its promising anti-tumor activity, we believe zanzalintinib is positioned to be a best-in-class VEGF-receptor TKI in a wide range of solid tumors when used as a monotherapy, as well as when used in combination regimens. Accordingly, we are evaluating zanzalintinib in a robust and growing development program that builds on our prior experience with cabozantinib and targets indications with high unmet need, including RCC, CRC, NET and meningioma. Beyond our established collaborations, we will continue to explore additional opportunities for novel combinations with zanzalintinib.

*STELLAR-001 - Advanced Solid Tumors*. Initiated in 2019, STELLAR-001 is a multicenter phase 1b/2 clinical trial evaluating the pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability and preliminary anti-tumor activity of zanzalintinib and is divided into dose-escalation and expansion phases designed to evaluate zanzalintinib both as a monotherapy and in combination with atezolizumab in a variety of solid tumors. We previously presented data from STELLAR-001 during poster sessions at the 2022 ESMO Congress, which demonstrated preliminary clinical activity similar to that observed with cabozantinib, across a range of solid tumors and dose levels, with a manageable safety profile. The phase 2 recommended dose for both monotherapy zanzalintinib and zanzalintinib in combination with atezolizumab was determined to be 100 mg once daily. Enrollment into the STELLAR-001 expansion cohorts for ccRCC, nccRCC, hormone-receptor positive breast cancer, mCRPC and CRC is complete, and we presented initial results evaluating monotherapy zanzalintinib in patients with previously treated ccRCC during the Oral Abstracts session at the International Kidney Cancer Symposium in November 2023. At a median follow-up time of 8.3 months, the findings demonstrated an ORR of 38% per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v. 1.1 for the entire ccRCC cohort of 32 patients, including an ORR of 57% among the 14 patients who were not previously treated with cabozantinib; the disease control rate was 88%. The ORR for the 26 patients who had received prior VEGF receptor-TKIs was 35%, including responses in four of the 17 patients (24%) who had received prior cabozantinib. Preliminary results from a randomized expansion cohort of patients with metastatic CRC (n=107) from STELLAR-001 were presented at the ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium in January 2025 (ASCO GI 2025). In the overall population, all efficacy parameters, ORR, PFS and OS, favored the combination of atezolizumab plus zanzalintinib versus zanzalintinib monotherapy (PFS HR 0.65 (95% CI, 0.42-0.99); OS HR 0.89 (95% CI, 0.56-1.42)). With median follow up times of approximately 19 months for both arms, the ORR was 7.4% vs. 1.9%. In a subgroup analysis of patients without liver metastases (n=17 in each arm), ORR, PFS and OS also favored the combination of atezolizumab plus zanzalintinib versus zanzalintinib monotherapy (PFS HR 0.37 (95% CI, 0.15-0.91); OS HR 0.74 (95% CI, 0.27-2.04)). In this subgroup, the ORR was 17.6% vs 5.9%. We continue to be encouraged by zanzalintinib's emerging tolerability and activity profile, both as a monotherapy and in combination with ICIs.

*STELLAR-002 - Advanced Solid Tumors.* In December 2021, we initiated STELLAR-002, a multicenter phase 1b/2 clinical trial evaluating the safety, tolerability and efficacy of zanzalintinib in combination with either nivolumab, nivolumab and ipilimumab, or a fixed-dose combination of nivolumab and relatlimab, a lymphocyte activation gene-3-blocking (LAG-3) antibody developed by BMS. STELLAR-002 is divided into dose-escalation and expansion phases. We have established recommended doses of zanzalintinib for these combination regimens and are exploring them in a diverse array of solid tumor expansion cohorts, including ccRCC, nccRCC, HCC, mCRPC and CRC. The key efficacy endpoints are investigator-assessed ORR per RECIST v. 1.1, PFS and OS. Monotherapy zanzalintinib may also be evaluated to support regulatory requirements for dosing and contribution of components. In May 2025, preliminary results from an expansion cohort of patients with previously untreated advanced ccRCC from STELLAR-002 were presented at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting, along with data from multiple dose-escalation cohorts.

*STELLAR-303 - CRC*. In June 2022, we initiated STELLAR-303, a global, multicenter, randomized, open-label phase 3 pivotal trial evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with atezolizumab versus regorafenib in patients with metastatic, refractory non-microsatellite instability-high or non-mismatch repair-deficient (non-MSI-H/dMMR) CRC. In June 2025, we announced positive top-line results demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in OS versus regorafenib in all patients (i.e., in the ITT population), and in October 2025, announced that the study demonstrated a 20% reduction in the risk of death versus regorafenib in the ITT population at the final analysis (stratified hazard ratio [HR]: 0.80; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.69-0.93; P=0.0045). At the concurrent prespecified interim analysis, data pertaining to the other dual primary endpoint, OS in patients without liver metastases, showed a trend in OS favoring the combination (15.9 months versus 12.8 months; stratified HR: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.61-1.03; P=0.0875) at a median follow-up of 16.8 months. Detailed findings from the study, including OS and PFS in the ITT population and in the subset of patients without liver metastases, were presented at the 2025 ESMO Congress (ESMO 2025) in October 2025 and simultaneously published in *The Lancet*. The trial will proceed

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

to the planned final analysis for the dual primary endpoint of OS in patients without liver metastases, expected in mid-2026, depending on event rates. In December 2025, we submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA for zanzalintinib in combination with atezolizumab for the treatment of previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer. In January 2026, we announced that the FDA had accepted our NDA and assigned a standard review, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of December 3, 2026.

CRC is the third most common cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. According to the American Cancer Society, in 2026, approximately 159,000 new cases will be diagnosed in the U.S. with around 55,000 expected deaths from the disease. CRC is most frequently diagnosed among people aged 65-74 and is more common in men and those of non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Native descent. Nearly a quarter of CRC cases are diagnosed at the metastatic stage, at which point the five-year survival rate is around just 15%. It has been estimated that approximately 40-52% of metastatic CRC cases exhibit a RAS mutation.

*STELLAR-304 - Non-Clear Cell RCC*. In December 2022, we initiated STELLAR-304, a global, multicenter, randomized, open-label phase 3 pivotal trial evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with nivolumab versus sunitinib in previously untreated patients with advanced nccRCC. The trial enrolled 317 patients at 163 sites globally. Patients are randomized 2:1 to the experimental arm of zanzalintinib in combination with nivolumab or to the control arm of sunitinib, respectively. The primary efficacy endpoints for STELLAR-304 are blinded independent radiology committee-assessed PFS and ORR per RECIST v 1.1. The secondary efficacy endpoint is OS. We expect top-line results in mid-2026, depending on event rates.

nccRCC represents about 25% of RCC cases. Many of the therapies approved for advanced nccRCC are predominately based on data from ccRCC studies because nccRCC tumors are histologically diverse with historically poor outcomes.

*STELLAR-311 - Advanced NET.* In June 2025, we initiated STELLAR-311, a phase 2/3 pivotal trial evaluating zanzalintinib versus everolimus in patients with advanced NET, regardless of site of origin, who had received up to one prior line of therapy. The primary endpoint of the trial is PFS per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by blinded independent central review. Enrollment is currently ongoing.

Beyond STELLAR-001, STELLAR-002, STELLAR-303, STELLAR-304 and STELLAR-311, we intend to initiate additional early-stage and pivotal trials evaluating zanzalintinib across a broad array of potential future indications, including: STELLAR-201, a planned, single-arm phase 2 study that will evaluate zanzalintinib in patients with Grade I/II/III meningioma with relapse or progression following surgery and radiation, or who are not candidates for radiation/surgery, anticipated to commence in the first half of 2026, and STELLAR-316, a planned phase 3 pivotal trial, in collaboration with Natera, Inc. (Natera), which we anticipate will commence in mid-2026. STELLAR-316 will evaluate zanzalintinib, with and without an ICI, in patients with resected stage II/III CRC who, following completion of definitive therapy, have tested positive for molecular residual disease (MRD+) and have no radiographic evidence of disease. Natera will provide its Signatera™ assay to identify MRD+ for trial enrollment.

To further expand our exploration of the clinical potential of zanzalintinib, in October 2024, we announced our entry into a clinical development collaboration with MSD International Business GmbH, known as Merck within the United States and Canada (Merck). Pursuant to this collaboration, Merck is sponsoring KEYMAKER-U03 (a phase 1/2 trial evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with WELIREG® (belzutifan), Merck's oral HIF-2α inhibitor, in RCC), LITESPARK-033 (a phase 3 trial evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with WELIREG versus cabozantinib in first-line advanced RCC) and one additional phase 3 pivotal trial in RCC. Merck will fund one of these phase 3 studies and we will co-fund the phase 1/2 study and the other phase 3 study, as well as supply zanzalintinib and cabozantinib. Under the collaboration, we continue to retain all global commercial and marketing rights to zanzalintinib.

*Trials Evaluating Zanzalintinib Conducted through our CRADA with NCI-CTEP*

In January 2026, we entered into a CRADA with NCI-CTEP for the clinical development of zanzalintinib. The CRADA reflects a commitment by NCI-CTEP to provide funding for the broad exploration of zanzalintinib's potential in a wide variety of cancers. IND applications for trials under the CRADA are held by NCI-CTEP. NCI-CTEP also retains rights to any inventions made in whole or in part by NCI-CTEP investigators. For inventions that claim the use and/or the composition of zanzalintinib, we have an automatic option to elect a worldwide, non-exclusive license to zanzalintinib inventions for commercial purposes, with the right to sublicense to affiliates or collaborators working on our behalf, as well as an additional, separate option to negotiate an exclusive license to zanzalintinib inventions. Further, before any trial proposed under the CRADA may commence, the protocol is subject to our review and approval.

*XL309 Development Program.* In September 2023, we entered into an exclusive global license agreement with Insilico Medicine US, Inc. and its affiliate, Insilico Medicine Hong Kong Limited, along with their parent company and certain other affiliated entities (individually and collectively referred to as Insilico). The agreement with Insilico grants us global rights to develop and commercialize XL309, a potentially best-in-class small molecule inhibitor of USP1, a synthetic lethal target in the context of BRCA-mutated tumors. XL309 is currently being evaluated in a phase 1 clinical trial to explore its pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability and preliminary anti-tumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors as a monotherapy and in combination with olaparib, PARP1/2 inhibitor, and enrollment is ongoing. XL309 has potential in patients whose tumors are no longer responsive to PARP inhibitors (PARPi), including ovarian, breast and prostate cancers. XL309 also has potential in combination with PARPi agents to deepen and prolong the response seen with PARPi, as well as to broaden the activity beyond that observed in patients with tumors that harbor a BRCA1/2 mutation. In March 2025, preclinical data from the XL309 program were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2025. For more information on the Insilico license agreement, our other research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements related to our small molecule programs, see "—Collaborations and Business Development Activities—Research Collaborations, In-licensing Arrangements and Strategic Transactions."

*Termination of STELLAR-305 Trial and XL495 Development Program.* In October 2024, we announced the initiation of a phase 1 clinical trial evaluating XL495, an inhibitor of PKMYT1, both as a monotherapy and in combination with select cytotoxic agents, in patients with advanced solid tumors. In May 2025, based on early clinical data generated for XL495, we announced that we will discontinue further development of this program. In December 2023, we initiated STELLAR-305, a phase 2/3 pivotal trial evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with pembrolizumab, an anti-PD-1 ICI developed by Merck & Co., Inc. (Merck & Co.), versus placebo in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with previously untreated PD-L1-positive recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Based on our evaluation of emerging data from the phase 2 portion of STELLAR-305, competition in this indication, and assessment of other, potentially larger, commercial opportunities, in July 2025 we announced that the study will not proceed to phase 3.

For additional information on our research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements related to our small molecule programs, see "—Collaborations and Business Development Activities—Research Collaborations, In-licensing Arrangements and Strategic Transactions."

***Biotherapeutics Development Programs***

We are advancing a variety of biotherapeutics that have the potential to become anti-cancer therapies, including ADCs and a bispecific antibody. ADCs in particular present a unique opportunity for new cancer treatments, given their capabilities to deliver anti-cancer drug payloads to targets with increased precision while minimizing impact on healthy tissues. We have established multiple research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements and entered into other strategic transactions, aimed at conserving capital and managing risks, that provide us with access to antibodies, binders, payloads and conjugation technologies, which are the components employed to generate next-generation ADCs or multispecific antibodies. We have also established laboratories for discovery of novel biologics with capabilities in antibody engineering, ADC chemistry, bioanalysis and preclinical testing. In addition to an option deal with Sairopa B.V. (Sairopa), which provides us with the right to exclusively in-license ADU-1805, a clinical-stage and potentially best-in-class mAb developed by Sairopa that targets SIRPα, some of our research collaborations for biotherapeutics programs include collaborations with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adagene Inc. (Adagene), which is focused on using Adagene's SAFEbody<sup>TM</sup> technology to develop novel masked ADCs or other innovative biotherapeutics with potential for improved therapeutic index;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Catalent, Inc. (Catalent), which is focused on the discovery and development of multiple ADCs using Catalent's proprietary SMARTag® site-specific bioconjugation technology; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Invenra, Inc. (Invenra), which is focused on the discovery and development of novel binders and multispecific antibodies for the treatment of cancer.

We have made significant progress under our research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements, including:

XB010. In August 2024, we announced the initiation of a phase 1 clinical trial evaluating XB010, both as a monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab, in patients with advanced solid tumors, following the FDA's acceptance of our IND application, and enrollment is ongoing. XB010 is our first ADC advanced internally and consists of an MMAE payload conjugated to a mAb targeting the tumor antigen 5T4. XB010 was constructed using Catalent's SMARTag site-specific bioconjugation platform, and its 5T4-targeting mAb was discovered in collaboration with Invenra.

XB628. In April 2025, we initiated the phase 1 study of XB628, a first-in-class bispecific antibody that simultaneously targets PD-L1 and NKG2A, identified as key regulators of adaptive and innate immune cell activity, discovered, in part, in collaboration with Invenra. Enrollment is ongoing.

XB371. In August 2025, we initiated a phase 1 study of XB371, a next-generation TF-targeting ADC with a topoisomerase inhibitor payload, which was discovered, in part, in collaboration with Catalent. The trial is divided into dose-escalation and cohort-expansion phases. Enrollment in the dose escalation phase is ongoing.

*ADU-1805.* In February 2023, the FDA cleared the initial IND for ADU-1805. ADU-1805 is currently being evaluated in a phase 1 clinical trial to explore its pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability and preliminary anti-tumor activity in patients with advanced or metastatic refractory solid tumors as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab. The ADU-1805 study includes plans to investigate the compound's potential in combination with approved ICIs, including pembrolizumab. Enrollment is ongoing.

For more information on our research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements related to our biotherapeutics programs, see "—Collaborations and Business Development Activities—Research Collaborations, In-licensing Arrangements and Strategic Transactions."

**Expansion of the Exelixis Pipeline**

Increasing the number of novel anti-cancer agents in our pipeline is essential to our overall strategy and business goals. We are working to expand our oncology product pipeline through drug discovery efforts, which encompass our diverse biotherapeutics and small molecule programs exploring multiple modalities and mechanisms of action. This approach provides a high degree of flexibility with respect to target selection and allows us to prioritize those targets that we believe have the greatest chance of yielding impactful therapeutics. As part of our strategy, our drug discovery activities have included and continue to include research collaborations, in-licensing arrangements and other strategic transactions that collectively incorporate a wide range of technology platforms and assets and increase our probability of success.

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we expect to progress up to two new development candidates into preclinical development during 2026. We also expect to progress XB773, an innovative ADC targeting delta-like ligand 3, and a development candidate from our somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (SSTR2) agonist program toward potential IND filings in 2026.

As part of our rational and disciplined approach to investment, we have decided to discontinue further development of the XB064 and XB033 programs. We will continue to engage in pipeline expansion initiatives with the goal of discovering, acquiring and/or in-licensing promising investigational oncology assets and then further characterize and develop them utilizing our established preclinical and clinical development infrastructure.

**Collaborations and Business Development Activities**

We have established multiple collaborations with leading biopharmaceutical companies for the commercialization and further development of the cabozantinib franchise, as well as research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements to enhance our early-stage pipeline and expand our ability to discover novel therapies.

Under our commercial collaborations, we are entitled to receive milestones and royalties or, in the case of cobimetinib, royalties from sales outside the U.S. and a share of profits (or losses) from commercialization in the U.S. Under our research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements, we are obligated to pay milestones and royalties to our various partners.

***Cabozantinib Commercial Collaborations***

*Ipsen Collaboration*

In February 2016, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Ipsen for the commercialization and further development of cabozantinib. Under the collaboration agreement, Ipsen received exclusive commercialization rights for current and potential future cabozantinib indications outside of the U.S., Canada and Japan. The collaboration agreement has been subsequently amended on multiple occasions, including in December 2016 to include commercialization rights in Canada. We have also agreed to collaborate with Ipsen on the development of cabozantinib for

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

current and potential future indications. The parties' efforts are governed through a joint steering committee and appropriate subcommittees established to guide and oversee the collaboration's operation and strategic direction; however, we retain final decision-making authority with respect to cabozantinib's ongoing development.

In consideration for the exclusive license and other rights contained in the collaboration agreement, including commercialization rights in Canada, Ipsen paid us aggregate upfront payments of $210.0 million in 2016. As of December 31, 2025, we achieved aggregate milestone payments of $659.2 million related to regulatory and commercial progress by Ipsen since the inception of the collaboration agreement, including a $5.0 million regulatory milestone payment from Ipsen, upon approval by the EC for the treatment of patients with either advanced pNET or advanced epNET.

We are also eligible to receive a future regulatory milestone payment from Ipsen of $2.0 million upon additional approvals of cabozantinib in future indications and/or jurisdictions, as well as contingent payments of up to $200.0 million and CAD$23.5 million associated with future sales milestones. We will further receive royalties on net sales of cabozantinib by Ipsen outside of the U.S. and Japan. We are entitled to receive a tiered royalty of 22% to 26% on annual net sales, with separate tiers for Canada; these 22% to 26% royalty tiers reset each calendar year. As of December 31, 2025, we have earned royalties of $837.9 million on net sales of cabozantinib by Ipsen since the inception of the collaboration agreement.

We received notification that, effective January 1, 2021, Royalty Pharma plc (Royalty Pharma) acquired from GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) all rights, title and interest in royalties on total net sales of any product containing cabozantinib for non-U.S. markets for the full term of the royalty and for the U.S. market through September 2026, after which time U.S. royalties will revert back to GSK. Accordingly, and consistent with our historical agreement with GSK, we are required to pay a 3% royalty to Royalty Pharma on total net sales of any product containing cabozantinib, including net sales by Ipsen.

We are responsible for funding cabozantinib-related development costs for those trials in existence at the time we entered into the collaboration agreement with Ipsen; global development costs for additional trials are shared between the parties, with Ipsen reimbursing us for 35% of such costs, provided Ipsen chooses to opt into such trials. In accordance with the collaboration agreement, Ipsen has opted into and is co-funding certain clinical trials, including: CheckMate -9ER, COSMIC-021, COSMIC-311, COSMIC-312, CONTACT-01, CONTACT-02 and CABINET.

We remain responsible for manufacturing and supply of cabozantinib for all development and commercialization activities under the collaboration agreement. We entered into a supply agreement with Ipsen to supply finished and labeled drug product for distribution in the territories outside of the U.S. and Japan for the term of the collaboration agreement as well as a quality agreement that provides respective quality responsibilities for the aforementioned supply. At the time we entered into the collaboration agreement, the parties also entered into a pharmacovigilance agreement, which defines each partner's responsibilities for safety reporting. The pharmacovigilance agreement requires us to maintain the global safety database for cabozantinib. To meet our obligations to regulatory authorities for the reporting of safety data from territories outside of the U.S. and Japan from sources other than our sponsored global clinical development trials, we rely on data collected and reported to us by Ipsen.

Unless earlier terminated, the collaboration agreement has a term that continues, on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis, until the later of (1) the expiration of patent claims related to cabozantinib, (2) the expiration of regulatory exclusivity covering cabozantinib or (3) ten years after the first commercial sale of cabozantinib, other than COMETRIQ. The supply agreement will continue in effect until expiration or termination of the collaboration agreement. The collaboration agreement may be terminated for cause by either party based on uncured material breach of either the collaboration agreement or the supply agreement by the other party, bankruptcy of the other party or for safety reasons. We may terminate the collaboration agreement if Ipsen challenges or opposes any patent covered by the collaboration agreement. Ipsen may terminate the collaboration agreement if the FDA or EMA orders or requires substantially all cabozantinib clinical trials to be terminated. Ipsen also has the right to terminate the collaboration agreement on a region-by-region basis after the first commercial sale of cabozantinib in advanced RCC in the given region. Upon termination by either party, all licenses granted by us to Ipsen will automatically terminate, and, except in the event of a termination by Ipsen for our material breach, the licenses granted by Ipsen to us shall survive such termination and shall automatically become worldwide, or, if Ipsen were to terminate only for a particular region, then for the terminated region. Following termination by us for Ipsen's material breach, or termination by Ipsen without cause or because we undergo a change of control by a party engaged in a competing program, Ipsen is prohibited from competing with us for a period of time.

*Takeda Collaboration*

In January 2017, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Takeda, as subsequently amended to, among other things, modify the amount of reimbursements we receive for costs associated with our required pharmacovigilance activities and milestones we are eligible to receive, as well as modify certain cost sharing obligations related to the Japan-specific development costs associated with CONTACT-01 and CONTACT-02. Under the collaboration agreement, Takeda has exclusive commercialization rights for current and potential future cabozantinib indications in Japan, and the parties have agreed to collaborate on the clinical development of cabozantinib in Japan. The operation and strategic direction of the parties' collaboration is governed through a joint executive committee and appropriate subcommittees.

In consideration for the exclusive license and other rights contained in the collaboration agreement, we received an upfront payment of $50.0 million from Takeda in 2017. As of December 31, 2025, we have also achieved aggregate milestone payments of $138.0 million related to regulatory and commercial progress by Takeda since the inception of the collaboration agreement. We are eligible to receive additional regulatory and development milestone payments, without limit, for additional potential future indications.

We are further eligible to receive commercial milestones, including milestone payments earned for the first commercial sale of a product of $108.0 million. We also receive royalties on the net sales of cabozantinib in Japan. We are entitled to receive a tiered royalty of 15% to 24% on the initial $300.0 million of net sales, and following this initial $300.0 million of net sales, we are then entitled to receive a tiered royalty of 20% to 30% on annual net sales thereafter; these 20% to 30% royalty tiers reset each calendar year. As of December 31, 2025, we have earned royalties of $60.3 million on net sales of cabozantinib by Takeda since the inception of the collaboration agreement.

Consistent with our historical agreement with GSK, we are required to pay a 3% royalty to Royalty Pharma on total net sales of any product containing cabozantinib, including net sales by Takeda.

Except for CONTACT-01 and CONTACT-02, Takeda is responsible for 20% of the costs associated with the cabozantinib development plan's current and future trials, provided Takeda opts into such trials, and 100% of costs associated with the cabozantinib development activities that are exclusively for the benefit of Japan. In accordance with the collaboration agreement, Takeda has opted into and is co-funding certain clinical trials, including: CheckMate -9ER; certain cohorts of COSMIC-021; CONTACT-01; and CONTACT-02.

Under the collaboration agreement, we are responsible for the manufacturing and supply of cabozantinib for all development and commercialization activities under the collaboration agreement. We entered into a clinical supply agreement covering the supply of cabozantinib to Takeda for the term of the collaboration agreement, as well as a quality agreement that provides respective quality responsibilities for the aforementioned supply. At the time we entered into the collaboration agreement, the parties also entered into a safety data exchange agreement, which defines each partner's responsibility for safety reporting. This agreement requires us to maintain the global safety database for cabozantinib. To meet our obligations to regulatory authorities for the reporting of safety data from Japan from sources other than our sponsored global clinical development trials, we rely on data collected and reported to us by Takeda.

Unless earlier terminated, the collaboration agreement has a term that continues, on a product-by-product basis, until the earlier of (1) two years after first generic entry with respect to such product in Japan or (2) the later of (A) the expiration of patent claims related to cabozantinib and (B) the expiration of regulatory exclusivity covering cabozantinib in Japan. The collaboration agreement may be terminated for cause by either party based on uncured material breach by the other party, bankruptcy of the other party or for safety reasons. We may terminate the agreement if Takeda challenges or opposes any patent covered by the collaboration agreement. After the commercial launch of cabozantinib in Japan, Takeda may terminate the collaboration agreement upon twelve months' prior written notice following the third anniversary of the first commercial sale of cabozantinib in Japan. Upon termination by either party, all licenses granted by us to Takeda will automatically terminate, and the licenses granted by Takeda to us shall survive such termination and shall automatically become worldwide.

***Cabozantinib Development Collaborations***

*BMS Collaboration*

In February 2017, we entered into a clinical trial collaboration agreement with BMS for the purpose of exploring the therapeutic potential of cabozantinib in combination with BMS's ICIs, nivolumab and/or ipilimumab, to treat a variety of types of cancer.

Under the collaboration agreement with BMS, each party granted to the other a non-exclusive, worldwide (within the collaboration territory as defined in the collaboration agreement and its supplemental agreements), non-transferable, royalty-free license to use the other party's compounds in the conduct of each clinical trial. The parties' efforts are governed through a joint development committee established to guide and oversee the collaboration's operation. Each trial is conducted under a combination IND application, unless otherwise required by a regulatory authority. Each party is responsible for supplying finished drug product for the applicable clinical trial, and responsibility for the payment of costs for each such trial will be determined on a trial-by-trial basis. Following the FDA's approval of CABOMETYX in combination with nivolumab as a first-line treatment of patients with advanced RCC, we and BMS commenced the commercial launch of the combination and have agreed to pursue commercialization and marketing efforts independently.

*Roche Collaboration*

In February 2017, we entered into a master clinical supply agreement with Roche for the purpose of evaluating cabozantinib and Roche's ICI, atezolizumab, in locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Under this agreement, in June 2017, we initiated COSMIC-021 and in December 2018, we initiated COSMIC-312. We were the sponsor of both trials, and Roche provided atezolizumab free of charge. Building upon encouraging clinical activity observed in COSMIC-021, in December 2019 we entered into a joint clinical research agreement with Roche to further evaluate the combination of cabozantinib with atezolizumab in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, including in the CONTACT-01, CONTACT-02 and CONTACT-03 studies. A party to the joint clinical research agreement that proposes any additional combined therapy trials beyond any ongoing phase 3 pivotal trials must notify the other party and if agreed to, such additional combined therapy trial will become part of the collaboration; if not agreed to, the proposing party may conduct such additional combined therapy trial independently, subject to specified restrictions set forth in the joint clinical research agreement.

Under the joint clinical research agreement, each party granted to the other a non-exclusive, worldwide (excluding, in our case, territory already the subject of a license by us to Takeda), non-transferable, royalty-free license, with a right to sublicense (subject to limitations), to use the other party's intellectual property and compounds solely as necessary for the party to perform its obligations under the joint clinical research agreement. The parties' efforts are governed through a joint steering committee established to guide and oversee the collaboration and the conduct of the combined therapy trials. Each party is responsible for providing, and bearing the cost of, clinical supply for all combined therapy trials. Clinical trial expenses for each jointly conducted combined therapy trial are shared equally between the parties, and for each additional combined therapy trial not agreed to be conducted jointly, are borne by the proposing party, except that the cost of clinical supply for all combined therapy trials are borne by the party that owns the applicable product.

Unless earlier terminated, the joint clinical research agreement provides that it will remain in effect until the completion of all combined therapy trials under the collaboration, the delivery of all related trial data to both parties, and the completion of any then agreed-upon additional analyses. The joint clinical research agreement may be terminated for cause by either party based on any uncured material breach by the other party, bankruptcy of the other party or for safety reasons. Upon termination by either party, the licenses granted to each party will terminate upon completion of any ongoing activities under the joint clinical research agreement.

***Zanzalintinib Clinical Collaborations***

We have also entered into multiple collaboration and supply agreements to evaluate zanzalintinib in various combination trials, including with Roche's atezolizumab, BMS' nivolumab, ipilimumab and relatlimab and Merck's pembrolizumab and belzutifan. These agreements facilitate the efficient exploration of the tolerability and activity of zanzalintinib in combinations with a variety of established cancer therapies as we continue to build a broad development program for zanzalintinib. For descriptions of our ongoing clinical trials evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with other therapies, see "—Exelixis Development Programs—Pipeline Development Programs — Advancing Exelixis' Future Cancer Therapy Candidates—Small Molecule Programs—Zanzalintinib Development Program."

***Research Collaborations, In-licensing Arrangements and Strategic Transactions***

As part of our pipeline expansion efforts, we have entered several research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements, as well as other strategic transactions that collectively incorporate a wide range of technology platforms and assets and increase our probability of success. More recently, we have focused our business development activities on late preclinical and early-stage clinical assets that align with our oncology drug development, regulatory and commercial expertise, and that have potential as product candidates to treat cancer patients, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sairopa. In November 2022, we entered into an exclusive option and license agreement and clinical development collaboration with Sairopa to develop ADU-1805. Under the agreement, we made an upfront payment to Sairopa, including additional payments for near-term milestones, in exchange for an option to obtain an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize ADU-1805 and other anti-SIRPα antibodies, and for certain expenses to be incurred by Sairopa in conducting prespecified phase 1 clinical studies of ADU-1805 during the option period. Sairopa is eligible to receive additional development milestone payments during the option period. Following the completion of the prespecified clinical studies, we have the right to exercise our option upon payment of an option exercise fee. Upon option exercise, Sairopa will be eligible to receive additional development and commercial milestone payments, as well as royalties on potential sales.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Insilico. In September 2023, we entered into an exclusive global license agreement with Insilico. Under the agreement, Insilico granted us global rights to develop and commercialize XL309 in exchange for an upfront payment to Insilico of $80 million. Insilico is also eligible to receive future development, commercial, and sales-based milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties on net sales. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we completed the transfer of stewardship of the ongoing phase 1 clinical trial evaluating XL309 from Insilico to us.

We continue to make progress on our various research collaborations, in-licensing arrangements and strategic transactions focused on our early-stage pipeline with the goal of advancing new candidates toward the clinic, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Basecamp Bio. In August 2025, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Basecamp Bio Inc. (Basecamp Bio), under which we acquired all right, title and interest in Basecamp Bio's program directed at SSTR2, an oncology target that is highly expressed in NET. Under the agreement, we made initial payments to Basecamp Bio, and Basecamp Bio is eligible for potential commercial milestone payments and potential tiered, low single digit royalties on net sales of approved products.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Catalent. In September 2020, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Catalent to develop multiple ADCs using Catalent's proprietary SMARTag site-specific bioconjugation technology. Under the September 2020 agreement, we made an upfront payment in exchange for an exclusive option to license up to four targets using Catalent's ADC platform over a three-year period. In addition, in August 2022 we exercised our right to extend the target selection term to five years and nominate up to two additional targets for an additional payment. For each option we decide to exercise, we will be required to pay an exercise fee, and will then assume responsibility for all subsequent clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization for that program. Catalent would then become eligible for potential development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments, as well as royalties on potential sales. We have also committed to contribute research funding to Catalent for discovery and preclinical development work. In December 2024, we terminated a separate license agreement with Catalent, previously entered into in November 2022, for three target programs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adagene. In February 2021, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Adagene to utilize Adagene's SAFEbody technology platform to generate masked versions of mAbs from our growing preclinical pipeline for the development of ADCs or other innovative biotherapeutics against Exelixis-nominated targets. Under the agreement, we made an upfront payment in exchange for an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize any potential ADC products generated in collaboration with Adagene with respect to an initial target, as well as a second target we may nominate during the collaboration term. For each target that we nominate, we would then assume responsibility for all subsequent clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization for that program. Adagene is eligible for potential development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments, as well as royalties on potential sales.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Iconic. In May 2019, we entered into an exclusive option and license agreement with Iconic to advance an innovative next-generation ADC program for cancer, leveraging Iconic's expertise in targeting TF in solid tumors. We later amended this agreement to obtain broad rights to develop the in-licensed anti-TF antibodies, allowing us to advance preclinical development of XB371, an ADC consisting of a topoisomerase payload conjugated to a TF-targeting monoclonal antibody.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Invenra. In May 2018, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Invenra to discover and develop multispecific antibodies for the treatment of cancer. Invenra is responsible for antibody lead discovery and generation while we will lead IND-enabling studies, manufacturing, clinical development in single-agent and combination therapy regimens, and future regulatory and commercialization activities. The collaboration agreement provides that we will receive an exclusive, worldwide license to one preclinical, multispecific antibody asset, and that we will pursue multiple additional discovery projects across three different programs during the term of the collaboration. In October 2019, we expanded our collaboration to include the development of novel binders against six additional targets, which we can use to generate multispecific antibodies based on Invenra's B-Body<sup>TM</sup> technology platform, or with other platforms and formats at our option. We amended the agreement again in March 2020 and January 2021 to enable the use of target binders in non-Invenra platform-based modalities, such as ADC platforms, and to enable the development of biparatopic antibodies, respectively. Then in August 2021, we further expanded our collaboration to include up to 20 additional targets for biotherapeutics discovery and development, for which we agreed to pay Invenra exclusivity payments and research program funding over a three-year period. Under the collaboration, Invenra is eligible for project initiation fees and potential development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties on net sales of any approved products. We also have the right to exercise options with respect to certain of Invenra's other research programs in exchange for an option exercise payment, and Invenra is eligible for milestone payments and royalties for any products that arise from these optioned research programs.

***Other Collaborations***

Prior to the commercialization of our first product, COMETRIQ, our primary business strategy was focused on the development and out-licensing of innovative drug candidate compounds to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies under collaboration agreements that allowed us to retain economic participation in the asset and support additional development of our proprietary products. Our collaboration agreements with Genentech and Daiichi Sankyo are representative of this historical strategy. Under our collaboration agreement with Genentech we out-licensed the further development and commercialization of COTELLIC, and under our collaboration agreement with Daiichi Sankyo we granted Daiichi Sankyo an exclusive, worldwide license to certain intellectual property, including MINNEBRO. We have since evolved and are now a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on driving the expansion and depth of our product offerings through the continued development of the cabozantinib franchise and drug discovery efforts. While these historical collaboration agreements have the potential to provide future revenue, and while we have received some collaboration revenues from these arrangements, we do not expect to receive significant revenues from these historical collaboration agreements.

**Manufacturing and Product Supply**

We do not operate our own current Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) manufacturing or distribution facilities for chemistry, manufacturing and control (CMC) development activities, preclinical, clinical or commercial production and distribution for our current products and new product candidates. Instead, we rely on various third-party contract manufacturing organizations to conduct GMP manufacturing operations on our behalf to produce our monoclonal antibodies, linker/payloads, drug substance and drug product. This external network consists of well-established and reputable global third-party GMP contract manufacturers for our CMC development and manufacturing that have good regulatory standing, suitable manufacturing capacities and capabilities. We continue to expand this network in order to meet our manufacturing and supply needs for our biotherapeutic and small molecule product candidates currently in development, and will further expand should such programs, such as zanzalintinib, advance to regulatory approval and subsequent commercialization. These third parties must comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including the FDA's current GMP, the EC's Guidelines on Good Distribution Practice (GDP), Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) and its foreign equivalents where applicable, as well as other stringent regulatory requirements enforced by the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies, as applicable, and are subject to routine inspections by such regulatory agencies.

Specifically with respect to CABOMETYX, we entered into agreements with secondary contract manufacturing organizations to produce additional commercial supplies of CABOMETYX tablets and cabozantinib drug substance, bolstering our supply chain robustness in order to mitigate the risk of supply chain interruptions or other failures.

We continually monitor and evaluate the performance of our third-party contract manufacturers on an ongoing basis for compliance and to affirm their continuing capabilities to meet both our commercial and clinical needs. We also have contracted with a third-party logistics provider, with multiple distribution locations, to provide shipping, storage and warehousing services for our commercial supply of both CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ in the U.S. We employ highly skilled

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

personnel with both technical and manufacturing expertise to diligently manage the activities at our third-party contract manufacturers and other supply chain partners, and our quality department audits them on a periodic basis.

We source raw materials that are used to manufacture our clinical and commercial drug substance from multiple third-party suppliers in Asia, Europe and North America. Where appropriate, we stock sufficient quantities of these materials and provide them to our third-party drug substance contract manufacturers so they can manufacture adequate drug substance quantities per our requirements, for both clinical and commercial purposes. We store drug substance at third-party facilities and provide appropriate amounts to our third-party drug product contract manufacturers, who manufacture, package and label our specified quantities of finished goods for clinical and commercial products (COMETRIQ and CABOMETYX). We also rely on our third-party contract manufacturers to source materials such as excipients, components and reagents, which are required to manufacture our drug substance and finished drug product.

We have established and continue to maintain safety stock inventories for our drug substance and drug products, and we store these quantities in multiple locations. The quantities that we store are based on our business needs and take into account forecasts of global market demand, production lead times, potential supply interruptions and shelf life for our drug substance and drug products. We have not experienced significant production delays or seen significant impairment to our supply chain as a result of the ongoing geopolitical hostilities in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, the political, economic, and social instability in Venezuela or other global events. Furthermore, we believe that our current manufacturing network has the appropriate capacity to produce sufficient commercial quantities of CABOMETYX to support the currently approved RCC, HCC, DTC and NET indications. Our manufacturing footprint also enables us to fulfill our supply obligations for our products and product candidates to our collaboration partners for global commercial and development purposes.

**Marketing and Sales**

We have a fully integrated commercial team consisting of sales, marketing, market access, and commercial operations functions. Our sales team promotes CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ in the U.S. We market our products in the U.S. and concentrate our efforts on oncologists, oncology nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals. In addition to using customary in-person pharmaceutical company practices, we also utilize digital marketing technologies to expand our engagement opportunities with customers.

Our commercial products, CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ, are sold initially through wholesale distribution and specialty pharmacy channels and then, if applicable, resold to hospitals and other organizations that provide CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ to end-user patients. To facilitate our commercial activities in the U.S., we also employ various third parties, such as advertising agencies, market research firms and vendors providing other sales-support related services as needed, including digital marketing and other non-personal promotion. We believe that our commercial team and distribution practices are sufficient to facilitate our marketing efforts in reaching our target audience and our delivery of our products to patients in a timely and compliant fashion.

In addition, we rely on Ipsen and Takeda for ongoing and further commercialization and distribution of CABOMETYX in territories outside of the U.S., as well as for access and distribution activities for the approved products, including named patient use programs or similar programs, and we also rely on Ipsen for these same activities with respect to the commercialization and distribution of COMETRIQ outside of the U.S.

To help ensure that all eligible patients in the U.S. have appropriate access to CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ, we have established a comprehensive reimbursement and patient support program called Exelixis Access Services (EASE). Through EASE, we provide co-pay assistance to qualified, commercially insured patients to help minimize out-of-pocket costs and provide free drug to uninsured or underinsured patients who meet certain clinical and financial criteria. In addition, EASE provides comprehensive reimbursement support services, such as prior authorization assistance, benefits investigation and, if needed, appeals support. Beyond financial assistance, patients who participate in EASE also receive treatment coordination through a dedicated case manager, as well as clinical outreach and support from a network of oncology nurses or other healthcare professionals who help many of these patients better understand how to take their medication and mitigate side effects.

**Environmental, Health and Safety**

Our research and development processes involve the controlled use of certain hazardous materials and chemicals. In the U.S., at the federal, state and local levels, and in other foreign countries, we are subject to environmental, health and workplace safety laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of hazardous

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

materials. While we have incurred, and will continue to incur, expenditures to maintain compliance with these laws and regulations, we do not expect the cost of complying with these laws and regulations to be material.

Many of our employees work in our on-site laboratory facilities and are trained on chemical hygiene, the use of personal protective equipment and other relevant laboratory safety topics, including working with blood-borne pathogens. Current staff are retrained regularly. We also extend these trainings to facilities staff and others who support our work in the labs. To maintain a safe environment for all staff, we have established a Lab Safety Committee to oversee the working conditions in our laboratory and office environments and conduct regular safety inspections, with reports provided to our Ethics Committee on a regular basis. We regularly perform thorough safety inspections of our laboratories, and continuously update our procedures based on the observations made during these inspections. Additionally, we conduct periodic industrial hygiene monitoring to ensure lab staff working with certain known hazardous chemicals do not exceed regulated exposure limits, regularly test and certify fume hoods, biosafety cabinets and other individual pieces of equipment on which employees rely to maintain a safe working environment. We also adhere to the standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Cal-OSHA and Bay Area Air Quality Management District, among other governing bodies, to ensure compliance with laws and regulations and help keep our employees safe.

**Government Regulation**

***Clinical Development***

The FDA and comparable regulatory agencies in state and local jurisdictions and in foreign countries impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, manufacture and marketing of pharmaceutical products. These agencies and other federal, state and local entities regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing, marketing approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, distribution, post-marketing safety reporting, export, import, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our products.

The process required by the FDA before product candidates may be marketed in the U.S. generally involves the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• nonclinical laboratory and animal tests, some of which must be conducted in accordance with Good Laboratory Practices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• submission of an IND, which contains results of nonclinical studies (e.g., laboratory evaluations of the chemistry, formulation, stability and toxicity of the product candidate), together with manufacturing information, analytical data, any available clinical data or literature and a proposed clinical protocol, and must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approval by an independent institutional review board or ethics committee for each clinical trial site before each trial may be initiated;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials conducted in accordance with the protocol, IND and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for its proposed intended use;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• for drug products, submission of an NDA to the FDA for commercial marketing, or generally of an sNDA, for approval of a new indication if the product is already approved for another indication;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• for biotherapeutic products, submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for commercial marketing, or generally a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for approval of a new indication if the product is already approved for another indication;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pre-approval inspection of manufacturing facilities and selected clinical investigators, clinical trial sites and/or Exelixis as the clinical trial sponsor for their compliance with GMP and GCP, respectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payment of user fees for FDA review of an NDA or BLA unless a fee waiver applies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• agreement with the FDA on the final labeling for the product and design and implementation of any required Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the FDA convenes an advisory committee, satisfactory completion of the advisory committee review; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FDA approval of the NDA or sNDA, or BLA or sBLA.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

For purposes of NDA approval, human clinical trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases that may overlap or be combined:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Phase 1 studies, which involve the initial introduction of a new drug product candidate into humans, are initially conducted in a limited number of subjects to test the product candidate for safety, tolerability, absorption, metabolism, distribution and excretion in healthy humans or patients. In rare cases, a Phase 1 study that is designed to assess effectiveness may serve as the basis for FDA marketing approval of a drug or for a label expansion. For instance, at the FDA's discretion, a product may receive approval based on a Phase 1b study if effectiveness results from the study are extremely compelling, approval of the drug would address a significant unmet patient need, and the drug is being approved through the accelerated approval pathway. As discussed below, accelerated approval generally requires at least one post-approval study to confirm clinical benefit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Phase 2 studies are conducted with groups of patients afflicted with a specified disease in order to provide enough data to evaluate the preliminary efficacy, optimal dosage, and common short-term side effects and risks associated with the drug. Multiple phase 2 clinical trials may be conducted by the sponsor to obtain information prior to beginning larger and more expensive phase 3 clinical trials. Phase 2 studies are typically well controlled, closely monitored, and conducted in a relatively small number of patients, usually involving no more than several hundred subjects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Phase 3 studies are conducted to gather the additional information about effectiveness and safety across a higher number of patients and evaluate the overall benefit-risk relationship of the product candidate following earlier phase evaluations, which will have provided preliminary evidence suggesting an effective dosage range and acceptable safety profile for the product candidate. Phase 3 trials are also intended to provide an adequate basis for physician labeling of the product if it is approved.

The FDA may require, or companies may pursue, additional clinical trials after a product is approved. These so-called post-marketing or "phase 4" studies may be deemed a condition to be satisfied after a drug receives approval. Failure to satisfy such post-marketing commitments or requirements can result in FDA enforcement action, up to and including withdrawal of NDA approval.

***FDA Review and Approval***

For approval of a new drug or changes to the labeling of an approved drug, including new indications, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to the FDA as part of an NDA or sNDA. The submission of an NDA requires payment of a substantial user fee to the FDA. The FDA may convene an advisory committee to provide clinical insight on NDA review questions, although the FDA is not required to follow the recommendations of an advisory committee. The FDA may initially issue a Refuse to File letter for an incomplete NDA or sNDA, or it may deny approval of an NDA or sNDA by way of a Complete Response letter if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied, and can require additional clinical and/or nonclinical data and/or an additional phase 3 pivotal clinical trial. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval if ongoing regulatory standards are not met or if safety problems occur after the product reaches the market. Satisfaction of FDA development and approval requirements or similar requirements of state, local and foreign regulatory agencies typically takes several years, and the actual time required may vary substantially based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product or disease. In particular, the FDA has developed and implemented, and continues to develop and implement, various guidance, programs and initiatives specific to oncology products that can affect product development and the data necessary for approval.

Any products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to continuing regulation by the FDA, including obtaining prior FDA approval of certain changes to the approved NDA, record-keeping requirements, annual report submission, and reporting of adverse experiences with, and interruptions in the manufacture of, the drug. Drug manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register their establishments with the FDA and certain state agencies as well as list the products they manufacture. Thus, we and our third-party contract manufacturing organizations are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies, as well as inspectors from other jurisdictions in which our products are approved, for compliance with GMP, which impose certain manufacturing requirements (including procedural and documentation requirements) upon us and our third-party contract manufacturing organizations.

In the U.S., the Orphan Drug Act of 1983, as amended, provides incentives for the development of drugs and biotherapeutic products for rare diseases or conditions that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. (or for which there is no reasonable expectation that the cost of developing and making available the drug in the U.S. for such disease or condition will be recovered from sales of the drug in the U.S.). Certain of the incentives turn on the drug first being

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

designated as an orphan drug. To be eligible for designation as an orphan drug (Orphan Drug Designation), the drug must have the potential to treat such rare disease or condition as described above. In addition, the FDA must not have previously approved a drug considered the "same drug," as defined in the FDA's orphan drug regulations, for the same orphan-designated indication or the sponsor of the subsequent drug must provide a plausible hypothesis of clinical superiority over the previously approved same drug. Upon receipt of Orphan Drug Designation, the sponsor is eligible for tax credits of up to 25% for qualified clinical trial expenses and waiver of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act application fee. In addition, upon marketing approval, an orphan drug could be eligible for seven years of market exclusivity. Orphan drug exclusivity, if awarded, only blocks the approval of any drug considered the same drug for the same orphan indication. A subsequent same drug could break an approved drug's orphan exclusivity through a demonstration of clinical superiority.

*Expedited FDA Approval Pathways*

The FDA has various programs that are intended to expedite or simplify the process for developing and reviewing promising drugs, or to provide for the approval of a drug on the basis of a surrogate endpoint. Generally, drugs that are eligible for these programs are those for serious or life-threatening conditions, those with the potential to address unmet medical needs and those that offer meaningful benefits over existing treatments. Examples of such programs include fast track designation, breakthrough therapy designation, priority review and accelerated approval, and the eligibility criteria of and benefits for each program vary:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Fast track designation is a process designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs intended to treat serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions that demonstrate the potential to fill unmet medical needs, by providing, among other things, eligibility for accelerated approval if relevant criteria are met, and rolling review, which allows submission of individually completed sections of an NDA for FDA review before the entire submission is completed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Breakthrough therapy designation is a process designed to expedite the development and review of drugs that are intended, alone or in combination with one or more other drugs, to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition, and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints. Drugs designated as breakthrough therapies can also be eligible for accelerated approval. The FDA will seek to ensure the sponsor of a breakthrough therapy product candidate receives intensive guidance on an efficient drug development program, intensive involvement of senior managers and experienced staff on a proactive, collaborative and cross-disciplinary review, and rolling review.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Priority review is designed to shorten the review period for drugs that treat serious conditions and that, if approved, would offer significant advances in safety or effectiveness or would provide a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. Under priority review, the FDA aims to take action on the application within six months as compared to a standard review time of 10 months, from the 60-day filing date. Sponsors may also obtain a priority review voucher upon approval of an NDA for certain qualifying diseases and conditions that can be applied to a subsequent NDA submission, or sold to another sponsor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Accelerated approval provides for an earlier approval for a new drug that is intended to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and that provides a meaningful advantage over available therapies and demonstrates an effect on a surrogate endpoint, or an intermediate clinical endpoint, which is considered reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. As a condition of approval, the FDA requires that a sponsor of a product candidate receiving accelerated approval perform post-marketing clinical trials or provide data on established clinical endpoints from the same trial to confirm the clinical benefit as predicted by the surrogate marker trial. The FDA may require such required post-marketing clinical trials to be underway prior to approval, or within a specific period thereafter, and will specify the conditions for such trials. Sponsors must provide reports on post-marketing trial progress no later than 180 days after approval and every 180 days thereafter until such trials are completed. The failure to conduct required post-marketing trials with due diligence and/or to submit the required reports are prohibited acts, and these failures by sponsor in administering such trials, or the failure of such trials to confirm the clinically meaningful outcome, may result in withdrawal of the accelerated approval of the drug or the indication. The FDA can also withdraw a drug approved under accelerated approval on an expedited basis provided it follows certain procedures.

Specifically, with respect to oncology products, the FDA may review applications under the Real-Time Oncology Review (RTOR) program established by the FDA's Oncology Center of Excellence (OCE). The RTOR program, which allows an applicant to pre-submit components of the NDA or BLA to allow the FDA to review clinical data before the complete filing is submitted, aims to explore a more efficient review process to ensure that safe and effective treatments are available to

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

patients as early as possible, while maintaining and improving review quality. Drugs considered for review under the RTOR program must be likely to demonstrate substantial improvements over available therapy, which may include drugs previously granted breakthrough therapy designation for the same or other indications and must have straight-forward study designs and endpoints that can be easily interpreted.

The FDA has also announced other programs to expedite the drug review process and streamline the development and approval of certain pharmaceutical products. These include the Commissioner's National Priority Voucher program, designed to accelerate the development and review of certain drugs and biological products that are aligned with U.S. national health priorities and to enhance the health interests of Americans. For rare diseases, the FDA announced its Rare Disease Evidence Principles, and "plausible mechanism" concept, both of which aim to reduce the clinical evidence required to gain approval of a therapy for a rare disease.

*Abbreviated FDA Approval Pathways and Generic Products*

The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (The Hatch-Waxman Act) established two abbreviated approval pathways for drug products in which potential competitors may take advantage of shortened development timelines by relying upon the FDA's prior approval of the same or similar drug product.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). An ANDA may be approved by the FDA if the applicant demonstrates that the proposed generic product is the same as the approved drug, which is referred to as the Reference Listed Drug (RLD). Generally, an ANDA must contain data and information showing that the proposed generic product and RLD (1) have the same active ingredient, in the same strength and dosage form, to be delivered via the same route of administration, (2) are intended for the same uses, and (3) are bioequivalent. This is instead of independently demonstrating the proposed product's safety and effectiveness through clinical development. Conducting bioequivalence testing is generally less time consuming and costly than conducting a full set of clinical trials in humans. In this regard, the FDA has published draft product-specific guidance containing bioequivalence recommendations for development of generic drug products containing cabozantinib, the active pharmaceutical ingredient in CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ, as it does for many FDA-approved drug products.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 505(b)(2) NDAs. An NDA under section 505(b)(2) (505(b)(2) NDA) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) is an application for which one or more of the investigations relied upon by the applicant for approval were not conducted by or for the applicant and for which the applicant has not obtained a right of reference or use from the person by or for whom the investigations were conducted. Under 505(b)(2) NDA, an applicant may rely, in part, on the FDA's previous approval of a listed drug, or published literature, in support of its application. If the 505(b)(2) NDA applicant establishes that reliance on the FDA's prior findings of safety and efficacy for an approved product is scientifically appropriate, it may eliminate the need to conduct certain preclinical or clinical studies. The FDA may require additional studies or measurements, including comparability studies.

Unlike a full NDA for which the sponsor has conducted or obtained a right of reference to all the data essential to approval, the filing of an ANDA or a 505(b)(2) NDA may be delayed due to patent or exclusivity protections covering the RLD or listed drug. The Hatch-Waxman Act provides (a) up to five years of exclusivity for the first approval of a new chemical entity (NCE) (NCE exclusivity) and (b) three years of exclusivity for approval of an NDA or sNDA for a product that is not an NCE but rather where the application contains new clinical studies conducted or sponsored by the sponsor and considered essential to the approval of the NDA or sNDA (three-year "changes" exclusivity). NCE exclusivity runs from the time of approval of the NDA and bars the FDA from accepting for review any ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA for a drug containing the same active moiety for five years (or for four years if the application contains a Paragraph IV certification asserting that a patent listed in the Orange Book for the RLD or listed drug is invalid or not infringed by the ANDA/505(b)(2) NDA product). The three-year "changes" exclusivity generally bars the FDA from approving any ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA application that relies on the information supporting the approval of the drug or the change to the drug for which the information was submitted and the exclusivity granted.

Both Congress and the FDA are considering, and have enacted, various legislative and regulatory proposals focused on drug competition, including legislation focused on drug patenting and provision of drug to generic applicants for testing. For example, the Ensuring Innovation Act, enacted in April 2021, amended the FDA's statutory authority for granting NCE exclusivity to reflect the agency's existing regulations and longstanding interpretation that award NCE exclusivity based on a drug's active moiety, as opposed to its active ingredient, which is intended to limit the applicability of NCE exclusivity, thereby potentially facilitating generic competition. In addition, the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020, which incorporated the framework from the Creating and Restoring Equal Access To Equivalent Samples (CREATES) legislation, allows ANDA, 505(b)(2) NDA or biosimilar developers to obtain access to branded drug and biotherapeutic product samples.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

Further, Section 3222 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, enacted on December 29, 2022 (the 2023 Appropriations Act), requires the FDA to make therapeutic equivalence determinations for 505(b)(2) NDAs at the time of approval, or up to 180 days thereafter, if requested by the applicant.

Additionally, Section 3224 of the 2023 Appropriations Act allows the FDA to approve an ANDA even if there are differences between the generic drug's proposed labeling and that of the listed drug due to the FDA approving a change to the listed drug's label (excluding warnings) within 90 days of when the ANDA is otherwise eligible for approval, provided that the ANDA applicant agrees to submit revised labeling for the generic drug within 60 days of approval. Moreover, in September 2023, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a policy statement, supported by the FDA, warning brand pharmaceutical companies that they could face legal action under the FTC Act if they improperly list patents in the Orange Book, and the FTC subsequently initiated, and continues to initiate, challenges against patents held by brand pharmaceutical companies and listed in the Orange Book under the FDA's patent listing dispute process.

*Orange Book Listing.* An NDA sponsor must identify to the FDA patents that claim the drug substance or drug product or approved method of using the drug. When the drug is approved, those patents are among the information about the product that is listed in the FDA publication, *Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations*, which is referred to as the *Orange Book*. Any applicant who files an ANDA or a 505(b)(2) NDA must certify, for each patent listed in the Orange Book for the RLD that (1) no patent information on the drug product that is the subject of the application has been submitted to the FDA, (2) such patent has expired, (3) the listed patent will expire on a particular date and approval is sought after patent expiration, or (4) such patent is invalid or will not be infringed upon by the manufacture, use or sale of the drug product for which the application is submitted. An ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA applicant may also submit a statement that it intends to carve-out from the labeling of its product an RLD's use that is protected by exclusivity or a method of use patent. The fourth certification described above is known as a Paragraph IV certification. A notice of the Paragraph IV certification must be provided to each owner of the patent that is the subject of the certification and to the reference NDA holder. The reference NDA holder and patent owners may initiate a patent infringement lawsuit in response to the Paragraph IV notice. Filing such a lawsuit within 45 days of the receipt of the Paragraph IV certification notice prevents the FDA from approving the ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA until the earlier of 30 months, expiration of the patent, settlement of the lawsuit, or a decision in the infringement case that is favorable to the ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA applicant. The ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA also will not receive final approval until any applicable non-patent exclusivity listed in the Orange Book for the RLD has expired.

***Regulatory Approval Outside of the United States***

In addition to regulations in the U.S., we are subject to regulations of other countries governing clinical trials and the manufacturing, commercial sales and distribution of our products outside of the U.S. Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a product, we must obtain approval by the comparable regulatory authorities of countries outside of the U.S. before we can commence clinical trials in such countries and approval of the regulators of such countries or economic areas, such as the EEA, before we may market products in those countries or areas. The approval process and requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary greatly from place to place, and the time may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval.

The way clinical trials are conducted in the EEA has undergone a major change with the application of Regulation (EU) 536/2014, repealing Directive 2001/20/EC. This regulation harmonizes the assessment and supervision processes for clinical trials throughout the EEA, via a portal and database, which the EMA maintains in collaboration with the Member States of the EEA and the EC. Following the EC's confirmation of full functionality of the Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS) through an independent audit, which was published in the Official Journal of the European Union in August 2021, Regulation (EU) 536/2014 became applicable concurrent with the CTIS "go-live" date on January 31, 2022. While existing clinical trials could continue to be conducted under the rules of Directive 2001/20/EC until January 31, 2025, any clinical trial initiated on or after January 31, 2023, must comply with the rules of the new regulation.

Under EEA regulatory systems, a company may submit a marketing authorization application (MAA) either under centralized or decentralized procedure. Under the centralized procedure, MAAs are submitted to the EMA for scientific review by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) so that an opinion is issued on product approvability. The opinion is considered by the EC which is responsible for granting the centralized marketing authorization in the form of a binding EC decision. If the application is approved, the EC grants a single marketing authorization that is valid for all Member States of the EEA. The decentralized and mutual recognition procedures, as well as national authorization procedure are available for products for which the centralized procedure is not compulsory. The mutual recognition procedure provides for the Member States of the EEA selected by the applicant to mutually recognize a national

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

marketing authorization that has already been granted by the competent authority of another Member State of the EEA, referred to as the Reference Member State (RMS). The decentralized procedure is used when the product in question has yet to be granted a marketing authorization in any Member State. Under this procedure the applicant can select the Member State of the EEA that will act as the RMS. In both the mutual recognition and decentralized procedures, the RMS reviews the application and submits its assessment of the application to the Member States of the EEA where marketing authorizations are being sought, referred to as Concerned Member States. Within 90 days of receiving the application and assessment report, each Concerned Member State must decide whether to recognize the RMS assessment or reject it based on potential serious risk to public health. If the disputed points cannot be resolved, the matter is eventually referred to the Coordination Group on Mutual Recognition and Decentralized Procedures in the first instance to reach an agreement and failing to reach such an agreement, a referral to the EMA and the CHMP for arbitration that will result in an opinion to form the basis of a decision to be issued by the EC binding on all Member States of the EEA. If the application is successful during the decentralized or mutual recognition procedure, national marketing authorizations will be granted by the competent authorities in each of the Member States chosen by the applicant.

Conditional marketing authorizations may be granted in the centralized procedure for a limited number of medicinal products for human use referenced in EU law applicable to conditional marketing authorizations where the clinical dataset is not comprehensive, if (1) the risk-benefit balance of the product is positive, (2) it is likely that the applicant will be in a position to provide the required comprehensive clinical trial data, (3) unmet medical needs will be fulfilled and (4) the benefit to public health of the immediate availability on the market of the medicinal product outweighs the risk inherent in the fact that additional data are still required.

As in the U.S., we may apply for designation of a product as an orphan drug for the treatment of a specific indication in the EU before the application for marketing authorization is made. In the EU, orphan designation is available for products in development which are either: (a) intended for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of life-threatening or chronically debilitating conditions affecting not more than 5 in 10,000 persons in the EU; or (b) intended for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of a life-threatening, seriously debilitating or serious and chronic condition affecting a larger number of persons but when, without incentives, it is unlikely that sales of the drug in the EU would be sufficient to justify the necessary investment in developing the medicinal product. Additionally, the sponsor of an application for designation of a product as an orphan drug in the EU must establish that there exists no satisfactory authorized method of diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of the condition or even if such treatment exists, the product will be of significant benefit to those affected by that condition.

Orphan drugs in the EU enjoy economic and marketing benefits, including up to ten years of market exclusivity for the approved indication unless another applicant for a similar medicinal product can show that its product is safer, more effective or otherwise clinically superior to the orphan-designated product. The period of orphan market exclusivity may be reduced to six years if at the end of the fifth year it is established that the criteria for orphan designation are no longer met, including where it is shown that the product is sufficiently profitable not to justify maintenance of market exclusivity.

As part of the EU Pharmaceutical Strategy, the EC published a proposal for a comprehensive revision of the EU pharmaceutical legislation. The European Parliament and the Council reached a provisional political agreement on December 10, 2025 after lengthy discussions and the new legislation will significantly change the regulatory regime applicable to both the "normal" data and market exclusivity and the orphan exclusivities and reduce/modulate the exclusivities and rewards that could be granted to medicinal products. In addition, the new legislation introduces a legally binding definition of the concept of unmet medical need and introduces novel rewards for orphan medicinal products designated as "breakthrough". The publication of the final texts and their adoption and entry into force are expected in first quarter of 2026. The new legislation is expected to start to apply 24 months after the entry into force, except for specific provisions with shorter or longer transition periods.

***Healthcare and Data Privacy Regulation***

Federal and state healthcare laws and regulations, including fraud and abuse and health information privacy and security laws, also govern our business. If we fail to comply with those laws, we could face substantial penalties and our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects could be adversely affected. The laws that may affect our ability to operate include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the federal Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS), which prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully, soliciting, receiving, offering or paying remuneration (including any kickback, bribe, or rebate), directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind, to induce or in return for, either the referral of an individual, or the purchase, lease,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

order or recommendation of any good, facility, item or service for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under a federal healthcare program, such as Medicare and Medicaid;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• federal civil and criminal false claims laws and civil monetary penalty laws, such as the federal False Claims Act, which impose criminal and civil penalties and authorize civil whistleblower or qui tam actions, against individuals or entities for, among other things: knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, to government, claims for payment that are false or fraudulent; making a false statement or record material to a false or fraudulent claim or obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the federal government; or knowingly concealing or knowingly and improperly avoiding or decreasing an obligation to pay money to the federal government;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which created new federal criminal statutes that prohibit knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program or obtain, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, any of the money or property owned by, or under the custody or control of any healthcare benefit program, regardless of the payor (e.g., public or private) and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up by any trick or device a material fact or making any materially false statements in connection with the delivery of, or payment for, healthcare benefits, items or services relating to healthcare matters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• HIPAA as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), and their respective implementing regulations, which impose requirements on certain covered healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses, as well as their respective business associates that perform services for them that involve the use, or disclosure of, individually identifiable health information, relating to the privacy, security, transmission and breach reporting of individually identifiable health information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the federal false statements statute, which prohibits knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the FDCA, which prohibits, among other things, the adulteration or misbranding of drugs, biologics and medical devices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the federal transparency requirements under the Physician Payment Sunshine Act, often referred to as the Open Payments program, requires certain manufacturers to track and report to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) annually certain payments and other transfers of value provided to various health professionals (including, among others, physicians (defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists, and chiropractors), physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and clinical nurse specialists) and teaching hospitals, as well as physician ownership and investment interests in the reporting manufacturers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• federal consumer protection and unfair competition laws, which broadly regulate marketplace activities and activities that potentially harm consumers.

Additionally, we are subject to state law equivalents of each of the above federal laws, which may be broader in scope and apply regardless of whether the payer is a governmental healthcare program, and many of which differ from each other in significant ways and may not have the same effect, further complicate compliance efforts. Numerous federal and state laws, including state security breach notification laws, state health information privacy laws and federal and state consumer protection laws, govern the collection, storage, transfer, security, use and disclosure of personal information. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended (CCPA), went into operation in January 2020 and broadly defines personal information, affords California residents expanded privacy rights and protections and provides for civil penalties for violations and a private right of action related to certain data security breaches. These protections were expanded by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which took effect January 2023. In addition to California, at least nineteen other states have passed comprehensive privacy laws similar to the CCPA and CPRA. These laws are either in effect or will go into effect over the next few years. Like the CCPA and CPRA, these laws create obligations related to the processing of personal information, as well as special obligations for the processing of "sensitive" data, which includes health data in some cases. These laws impose new and greater monetary fines or penalties for privacy violations, that may impact our operations, including both comprehensive and sector specific legislation. There are also states that are specifically regulating health information that may affect our business. For example, Washington state passed a health privacy law in 2023 that regulates the collection and sharing of health information with a private right of action. Connecticut and Nevada have passed similar laws regulating consumer health data, and more states are considering such legislation. Additionally, Congress is considering further federal privacy legislation and there are also increased restrictions at the federal level relating to transferring sensitive data outside of the U.S. to certain foreign countries. For example, in 2024, Congress passed H.B. 815, which included the Protecting Americans' Data from Foreign Adversaries Act of 2024, creating restrictions for entities that disclose sensitive data (including potential health data) to countries such as China.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

Failure to comply with these rules can lead to a potential FTC enforcement action. Additionally, the Department of Justice recently finalized a rule implementing Executive Order 14117, which creates similar restrictions related to the transfer of sensitive U.S. data to countries such as China. These obligations are quickly changing in an increasingly stringent fashion, and may create uncertainty as to how to comply and potentially require us to modify our policies and practices. The compliance process may be costly and may divert the attention of management and technical personnel. Our failure to comply with current and future laws could result in significant penalties, including, but not limited to: government enforcement actions, investigations and criminal and other proceedings; additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; bans on processing personal data; and orders to destroy or not use personal data. Failure to comply may also result in reputational harm and could have a material adverse effect on our business, including, but not limited to: interruptions or stoppages in our business operations, inability to process personal data or to operate in certain jurisdictions; limited ability to develop or commercialize our products; expenditure of time and resources to defend any claim or inquiry; adverse publicity; or restructuring of our operations. In addition, most healthcare professionals and facilities who may prescribe our products and from whom we may obtain patient health information, are subject to privacy and security requirements under HIPAA, as amended by HITECH. Although we are not considered to be a covered entity or business associate under HIPAA with respect to our clinical and commercial activities, we could be subject to penalties if we use or disclose individually identifiable health information in a manner not authorized or permitted by HIPAA. HITECH also created new tiers of civil monetary penalties, amended HIPAA to make civil and criminal penalties directly applicable to business associates, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federal courts to enforce the federal HIPAA laws and seek attorneys' fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. The legislative and regulatory landscape for privacy and data protection continues to evolve, and there has been an increasing amount of focus on privacy and data protection issues with the potential to affect our business, including laws in all 50 states requiring security breach notification in some circumstances. The CCPA, as amended by the CPRA, HIPAA and these other laws could create liability for us or increase our cost of doing business. International laws, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), could also apply to our operations. Failure to provide adequate privacy protections and maintain compliance with applicable privacy laws could jeopardize business transactions across borders and result in significant penalties.

In addition, we participate in the 340B Drug Pricing Program (the 340B Program), the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program (MDRP), and a number of other federal and state government pricing programs in the U.S. in order to obtain coverage for our products by certain government health care programs. Our participation in these programs generally requires us to make disclosures and to pay substantial rebates or offer our drugs at substantial discounts to certain purchasers (including "covered entities" purchasing under the 340B Program). Changes to our obligations under these government pricing programs occur frequently and program requirements are often ambiguous, and we cannot predict how future guidance or rules would affect our profitability (including the potential for increases in our overall Medicaid rebate liability and the obligation to charge greatly reduced prices to covered entities). A discussion of risks and uncertainties that may affect our participation in the 340B Program is set forth in "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We are also required to discount our products to authorized users of the Federal Supply Schedule of the General Services Administration, under which additional laws and requirements apply. These programs require submission of pricing data and calculation of discounts and rebates pursuant to complex statutory formulas and regulatory guidance, as well as the entry into government procurement contracts governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulations, and the guidance governing such calculations is not always clear. Compliance with such requirements can require significant investment in personnel, systems and resources. Failure to properly calculate prices, or to offer required discounts or rebates could subject us to substantial penalties.

***Coverage and Reimbursement***

Sales of our approved products and any future products of ours will depend, in part, on the extent to which their costs will be covered by third-party payers, such as government health programs, commercial insurance and managed healthcare organizations. The process for determining whether a third-party payor will provide coverage for a pharmaceutical product is typically separate from the process for setting the price of such a product or for establishing the reimbursement rate that the payor will pay for the product once coverage is approved. Further, no uniform policy for coverage and reimbursement exists in the United States, and coverage and reimbursement can differ significantly from payor to payor. As a result, each third-party payer may have its own policy regarding what products it will cover, the conditions under which it will cover such products, and how much it will pay for such products. Third-party payers may limit coverage to specific drug products on an approved list, also known as a formulary, which might not include all of the FDA-approved drugs for a particular indication. Moreover, a third-party payer's decision to provide coverage for a drug product

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

does not guarantee what reimbursement rate, if any, will be approved. Patients may be less likely to use our products if coverage is not provided and reimbursement may not cover a significant portion of the cost of our products. In addition, even if favorable coverage and reimbursement status is attained for one or more products that receives regulatory approval, less favorable coverage policies and reimbursement rates may be implemented in the future.

In the U.S. and other potentially significant markets for our products, government authorities and third-party payers are increasingly attempting to limit or regulate the price of medical products and services, particularly for new and innovative products and therapies, which may result in lower average selling prices. In some cases, for example, third-party payers try to encourage the use of less expensive generic products through their prescription benefits coverage and reimbursement and co-pay policies. Further, the increased emphasis on managed healthcare in the U.S. and on country-specific and national pricing and reimbursement controls in the Member States of the EEA will put additional pressure on product pricing, reimbursement and usage, which may adversely affect our future product sales and results of operations. These pressures can arise from rules and practices of managed care groups, judicial decisions and governmental laws and regulations related to Medicare, Medicaid and healthcare reform, pharmaceutical reimbursement policies and pricing in general. Adoption of price controls and cost-containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existing coverage and/or reimbursement controls and measures, could have a material adverse impact on our net product revenues and results of operations.

***Healthcare Reform***

The U.S. and some foreign countries are considering proposals or have enacted legislative and regulatory changes to the healthcare system that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payers in the U.S. and elsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access.

Over the past decade, there has been increasing legislative and enforcement interest in the U.S. with respect to drug pricing practices. In particular, there have been recent U.S. Congressional inquiries, hearings and proposed and enacted federal legislation and rules, as well as executive orders and sub-regulatory guidance that may impact pricing for pharmaceutical products. These initiatives include, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• efforts to reevaluate, reduce or limit the prices patients pay for pharmaceutical products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• implementation of additional data collection and transparency reporting regarding drug pricing, rebates, fees and other remuneration provided by drug manufacturers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• revisions to rules associated with the calculation of Average Manufacturer Price and Best Price under the MDRP, as well as changes to the determination of rebate liability under that program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• elimination of the AKS discount safe harbor protection for manufacturer rebate arrangements with Medicare Part D plan sponsors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reevaluation of safe harbors under the AKS.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) introduced numerous substantial changes to drug pricing, reimbursement and access support in the U.S., including enabling the CMS to assert control over the prices of certain single-source drugs and biotherapeutics reimbursed under Medicare Part B and Part D (the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program). CMS has begun to announce rounds of drugs eligible for negotiation and establish so-called "Maximum Fair Prices" (MFP) under the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program. The IRA contains a limited exception for small biotech drug manufacturers, which applies on a drug-specific basis, and provides that qualifying drugs will be exempt from selection for pricing negotiation through 2028 and eligible for a lower limit (i.e., a price floor) on the potential MFP in 2029 and 2030, if the manufacturers of those drugs continue to qualify each year (small biotech exception). As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have qualified for the small biotech exception with respect to our cabozantinib franchise products through 2027. We intend to apply to CMS to maintain our small biotech exception and price floor each year through 2030. Separately, in December 2024, CMS released final guidance on another program, the Medicare Part D Manufacturer Discount Program (Part D Discount Program), which requires manufacturers to take on more of the beneficiary cost previously subsidized by the federal government through the application of increased drug discounts. We have since received notice from CMS that we qualify for the "specified small manufacturer" designation and are thereby eligible for a phase-in of the increased manufacturer discounts under the Part D Discount Program, from 2025 to 2031. In November 2025, CMS also issued a proposed rule on the Part D Discount Program that largely codifies the final guidance. The IRA also imposes additional rebates for certain Part B and Part D drugs where relevant pricing metrics associated with the products increase faster than inflation.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

There have also been proposals from the current U.S. administration that aim to lower prescription drug costs, both through formal regulatory action and by encouraging voluntary compliance from manufacturers. These proposals include efforts to equalize the prices of drugs in the U.S. with the prices of those drugs in other developed countries (also known as "most favored nation" (or MFN) drug pricing policy), as well as efforts to sell prescription drugs directly to consumers. In 2025, an executive order issued by the White House directed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other federal agencies to implement MFN pricing through new models and potential regulatory actions. CMS has announced a pilot program in this regard for the Medicaid Program, but the full scope, timing, and impact of these initiatives remain uncertain. Adoption of these and other controls and measures and tightening of restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existing controls and measures, could limit reimbursement of pharmaceuticals. As a result, the business case for any product that receives regulatory approval for commercial sale in the U.S. may suffer if the government and third-party payers fail to provide adequate coverage and reimbursement.

Over time, the IRA could reduce the revenues we are able to collect from sales of our products or present challenges for payor negotiations and formulary access for our products, as well as increase our government discount and rebate liabilities. However, it is unclear how the IRA will be effectuated or changed under the current U.S. administration as well as the degree of impact that the IRA will ultimately have upon our business.

In addition, the U.S. pharmaceutical industry has also been significantly impacted by other major legislative initiatives and related political contests. For instance, efforts to repeal, substantially modify or invalidate some or all of the provisions of the PPACA, some of which have been successful, have created considerable uncertainties for all businesses involved in healthcare, including our own. Although such attempts to reform the U.S. healthcare system have not significantly impacted our business to date, challenges to the PPACA are ongoing and it is possible that additional legislative, executive and judicial activities in the future could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, other legislative changes also have been proposed and adopted since the passage of the PPACA. These have, among other things, reduced Medicare payments to several types of providers, including hospitals, imaging centers and cancer treatment centers, and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers.

At the state level, legislatures and regulatory agencies have increasingly passed legislation and implemented regulations designed to control pharmaceutical and biotherapeutic product pricing, including restrictions on pricing or reimbursement at the state government level, limitations on discounts to patients, advance notices of price increases, marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, and, in some cases, policies to encourage importation from other countries (subject to federal approval) and bulk purchasing. These laws may affect our sales, marketing, and other promotional activities by imposing administrative and compliance burdens on us. In addition, given the lack of clarity with respect to these laws and their implementation, our reporting actions could be subject to the penalty provisions of the pertinent state and federal authorities.

As a result of these developments and trends, third-party payers are increasingly attempting to contain healthcare costs by limiting coverage and the level of reimbursement of new drugs. These entities could refuse, limit or condition coverage for our products, such as by using tiered reimbursement or pressing for new forms of contracting, or alternatively for patients who rely on our co-pay assistance program, implement co-pay accumulators or maximizers that exempt such co-pay assistance from deductibles (or otherwise modify benefit designs in a manner that takes into account the availability of co-pay assistance), which has increased and could further increase the costs of our co-pay assistance program or cause patients to abandon CABOMETYX or COMETRIQ therapy due to higher out-of-pocket costs. Due to general uncertainty in the current regulatory and healthcare policy environment, and specifically regarding positions that the current U.S. administration may take with respect to these issues, we are unable to accurately predict the impact of any legislative, regulatory, third-party payer or policy actions, including potential cost containment and healthcare reform measures. In addition, it is also possible that CMS could issue new rulemaking or guidance that would affect the amount of rebates owed under the MDRP. CMS notably made recent changes to the calculation of Average Sales Price ("ASP") for the Medicare Part B Program regarding the treatment of fees as "bona fide service fees" and for bundled sales; while we are not currently required to report ASP, CMS could seek to implement the same changes in the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, and such changes could impact our rebate liability.

In addition, in some foreign countries, the proposed pricing for a drug must be approved before its cost may be funded within the respective national healthcare system. The requirements governing drug pricing vary widely from country to country. For example, Member States of the EEA may restrict the range of medicinal products for which their national healthcare systems provide reimbursement and may control the prices of medicinal products for human use. A Member State may approve a specific price for the medicinal product or it may instead adopt a system of direct or indirect controls

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

on the profits the medicinal product generates for the company placing it on the market. Pricing and reimbursement negotiations with governmental authorities or payers in Member States of the EEA can take six to 12 months or longer after the initial marketing authorization is granted for a product, or after the marketing authorization for a new indication is granted. To obtain reimbursement and/or pricing approval in some countries, drug manufacturers and collaboration partners may also be required to conduct a study or otherwise provide data that seeks to establish the cost effectiveness of a new drug compared with other available established therapies. Other cost-control initiatives are similarly focused on affordability and accessibility, such as the Regulation on Health Technology Assessment (HTA Regulation) adopted in December 2021 and entering into effect in January 2025, as well as other upcoming legislative and policy changes aimed at increasing cooperation between Member States of the EEA, and once enacted these initiatives may further impact the price and reimbursement status of many medicinal products. There can be no assurance that any country that has price controls, reimbursement limitations or other requirements for pharmaceutical products will allow favorable reimbursement and pricing arrangements for any of our products on cost-effectiveness grounds. Historically, products launched in Member States of the EEA and other non-U.S. jurisdictions do not follow the price structures of the U.S., and they generally tend to be priced significantly lower.

**Competition** 

There are many companies focused on the development of small molecules, antibodies and other treatments for cancer. Our competitors and potential competitors include major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as academic research institutions, clinical reference laboratories and government agencies that are pursuing research activities similar to ours. Many of the organizations competing with us have greater capital resources, larger research and development staff and facilities, deeper regulatory expertise and more extensive product manufacturing and commercial capabilities than we do, which may afford them a competitive advantage.

***Competition for Cabozantinib***

We believe that our ability to compete successfully with cabozantinib in the therapeutic markets where it is or may be approved will depend on, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• efficacy, safety and reliability of cabozantinib, both alone and in combination with other therapies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• timing and scope of regulatory approval;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to manufacture and sell commercial quantities of cabozantinib product to the market;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to successfully commercialize cabozantinib, both as a single agent and as part of any combination therapy regimen, and secure coverage and adequate reimbursement in approved indications;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• product acceptance by physicians and other health care providers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the level of our collaboration partners' investments in the resources necessary to successfully commercialize cabozantinib, or any combination therapy regimen that includes cabozantinib, in territories where they are approved;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• skills of our employees and our ability to recruit and retain skilled employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• protection of our intellectual property, including our ability to enforce our intellectual property rights against potential generic competition; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the availability of substantial capital resources to fund development and commercialization activities.

We believe that the quality and breadth of activity observed with cabozantinib, the skill of our employees and our ability to recruit and retain skilled employees, our patent portfolio and our capabilities for research and drug development are competitive strengths. However, many large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have significantly larger intellectual property estates than we do, substantially more capital resources than we have, and greater capabilities and experience than we do in preclinical and clinical development, sales, marketing, manufacturing and regulatory affairs.

Furthermore, the specific indications for which CABOMETYX is currently or may be approved are highly competitive. Several novel therapies and combinations of therapies have been approved, are in advanced stages of clinical development or are under expedited regulatory review in these indications, and these other therapies are currently competing or are expected to compete with CABOMETYX. While we have had success in adapting our development strategy for the cabozantinib franchise to address the competitive landscape, including through evaluation of therapies that combine ICIs with other targeted agents, it is uncertain whether current and future clinical trials will lead to additional regulatory approvals, or whether physicians will prescribe regimens containing cabozantinib instead of competing product combinations in approved indications.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

Below is a summary of the principal competition for cabozantinib in the indications for which it is approved or for which it has been or is currently being evaluated in potentially label-enabling trials, both as a single agent and in combination with other therapies. The information below does not include all competitor products, but rather those approved products that have or we believe may capture significant market share within their respective indications, or with respect to therapies still in development, those that are likely to overlap with patient populations that are or may be treated with cabozantinib or a combination therapy regimen that includes cabozantinib.

*Competition in Approved Cabozantinib Indications*

*CABOMETYX - RCC*: We believe the principal competition for CABOMETYX in advanced RCC includes: the combination of Merck & Co.'s pembrolizumab and Pfizer's axitinib; the combination of BMS's ipilimumab and nivolumab; the combination of Merck & Co.'s pembrolizumab and Eisai's lenvatinib; the combination of Eisai's lenvatinib and Novartis' everolimus; and Merck & Co.'s belzutifan. Additionally, there are a variety of therapies being developed for advanced RCC, including: the combination of Merck & Co.'s belzutifan and Eisai's lenvatinib; the combination of Merck & Co.'s pembrolizumab and belzutifan and Eisai's lenvatinib; and the combination of Merck & Co.'s pembrolizumab and quavonlimab and Eisai's lenvatinib.

The competitive landscape for RCC is evolving rapidly, especially given the entrance and increased adoption of ICI and ICI-TKI combination therapies into the RCC treatment landscape, particularly in the first-line setting. This has led to changing trends in prescribing and sequencing of certain drugs and combinations across different lines of therapy. It is difficult to accurately predict how these changes will affect sales of CABOMETYX during 2026 and going forward.

*CABOMETYX - HCC:* We believe the principal competition for CABOMETYX in previously treated HCC includes: Bayer's regorafenib and Eisai's lenvatinib.

The competitive landscape for HCC has changed with the increased adoption of ICI combination therapies in the first-line setting. This has led to increased competition due to the increase in prescribing and sequencing of TKIs in subsequent lines of therapy as more patients overall receive multiple lines of therapy. It is difficult to accurately predict how these changes will affect sales of CABOMETYX during 2026 and going forward.

*CABOMETYX - DTC:* We believe the principal competition for CABOMETYX in its previously treated DTC indication includes two treatments that are also approved for previously untreated DTC: Bayer's sorafenib and generic versions of sorafenib; and Eisai's lenvatinib. In addition, we believe there is also competition for CABOMETYX from mutation-targeted therapies approved or in development to treat patients with advanced or metastatic RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer who require systemic therapy and who are RAI-refractory (if RAI is appropriate), or patients with BRAF V600E mutations, including: Blueprint Medicine's and Roche's pralsetinib; Eli Lilly's selpercatinib; and the combination of Novartis' dabrafenib and trametinib.

Other than the approvals of RET inhibitors to treat certain DTC patients, there has been little change in the competitive landscape for RAI-refractory DTC treatments during recent years.

*CABOMETYX - pNET/epNET*: We believe the principal competition for CABOMETYX in previously treated, advanced pNET and epNET includes the following approved therapies or therapies in late-stage development: Novartis' lutetium Lu177 dotatate; Novartis's everolimus; Pfizer's sunitinib; Lantheus Holdings, Inc. and POINT Biopharma's 177Lu-PNT2003; Curium US LLC's 177Lu-DOTATATE; ITM Solucin GmbH's 177Lu-Edotreotide; and the combination of Roche's capecitabine and Merck & Co.'s temozolomide.

The pNET/epNET landscape has become increasingly complex with growing use of peptide receptor radionuclide (PRR) therapies in both first-line and second-line settings and ongoing discussions around optimal sequencing as new PRR therapies entrants may impact the treatment paradigm. It is difficult to accurately predict how these changes will affect sales of CABOMETYX during 2026 and going forward.

*COMETRIQ - MTC:* We believe that the principal competing anti-cancer therapy to COMETRIQ in progressive, metastatic MTC is Genzyme's vandetanib, which has been approved by the FDA and the EC for the treatment of symptomatic or progressive MTC in patients with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic disease, as well as other therapies that have been recently approved to treat patients with advanced or metastatic RET-mutant MTC who require systemic therapy, including: Blueprint Medicines' and Roche's pralsetinib; and Eli Lilly's selpercatinib.

Other than the recent approvals of RET inhibitors to treat certain MTC patients, there has been little change in the treatment landscape for progressive, metastatic MTC during recent years, and due to the limited number of ongoing late-stage clinical trials in this indication, we do not expect many additional competitors to emerge in 2026.

***Competition for Zanzalintinib***

We submitted our first NDA to the FDA for zanzalintinib in December 2025. We believe that the factors that will impact our ability to compete in indications where zanzalintinib may be approved would be similar to those for the cabozantinib franchise, as described above. Below is a summary of the principal competition for zanzalintinib in the indication for which we have submitted an NDA, as well as the indications for which it is currently being evaluated in potentially label-enabling trials, both as a single agent and in combination with other therapies. The information below does not include all competitor products, but rather those approved products that have or we believe may capture significant market share within their respective indications, or with respect to therapies still in development, those that are likely to overlap with patient populations that are or may be treated with zanzalintinib or a combination therapy regimen that includes zanzalintinib.

*Competition in Potential Zanzalintinib Indications* 

*Zanzalintinib in combination with ICI - CRC*: STELLAR-303 is a phase 3 pivotal trial evaluating the combination of zanzalintinib and atezolizumab in patients with metastatic, refractory non-MSI-H/dMMR CRC who have progressed after, or are intolerant to, the current standard of care. Should the combination of zanzalintinib and atezolizumab be approved for the treatment of these CRC patients, we believe its principal competition may include the following approved therapies or therapies in late-stage development: Bayer's regorafenib; Taiho Oncology's trifluridine/tipiracil; the combination of Taiho Oncology's trifluridine/tipiracil and Roche's bevacizumab; Takeda's fruquintinib; and the combination of Agenus' botensilimab and balstilimab.

*Zanzalintinib in combination with ICI - RCC*: STELLAR-304 is a phase 3 pivotal trial evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with nivolumab in previously untreated patients with advanced nccRCC. Should the combination of zanzalintinib and nivolumab be approved for the treatment of these RCC patients, we believe its principal competition may include AstraZeneca PLC's savolitinib + durvalumab vs. Pfizer's sunitinib and similar approved therapies or therapies in late-stage development that compete with cabozantinib or combination regimens containing cabozantinib in various RCC indications.

*Zanzalintinib as a monotherapy – Advanced NET.* STELLAR-311 is a phase 2/3 pivotal trial evaluating zanzalintinib versus everolimus in patients with advanced NET, regardless of site of origin, who had received up to one prior line of therapy. Should zanzalintinib be approved for the treatment of these NET patients, we believe its principal competition may include: Roche's capecitabine + Merck's temozolomide; Novartis' everolimus; Merck's pembrolizumab; and similar approved therapies or therapies in late-stage development that compete with cabozantinib in advanced NET.

***Competition for Cobimetinib and Esaxerenone***

There is competition for both cobimetinib and esaxerenone in the specific indications and territories where they are approved, and there are regular new entrants and developments in all aspects of these markets. However, given the relatively lesser degree of adoption of these therapies within the broader markets in which they compete and their minimal contribution to our total revenues as out-licensed products, we do not believe changes in the competitive landscape in these indications will have a material impact on our business.

**Patents and Proprietary Rights** 

We actively seek patent protection in the U.S., EU and selected other foreign jurisdictions to cover our product candidates and related technologies. Patents extend for varying periods according to the date of patent filing or grant and the legal term of patents in the various countries where patent protection is obtained. The actual protection afforded by a patent, which can vary from country to country, depends on the type of patent, the scope of its coverage and the availability of legal remedies in the country. We have numerous patents and pending patent applications that relate to compounds and formulations that modulate drug targets, as well as methods of making and using such compounds and formulations.

While many patent applications have been filed relating to the product candidates that we have developed, the majority of these are not yet issued or allowed. To our knowledge, we own all global patents necessary for the continued

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

sale and development of cabozantinib and cobimetinib, and we either own or have in-licensed all global patents for our other product candidates, as further described below.

***Cabozantinib***

Cabozantinib is covered by more than 15 issued patents in the U.S., building from U.S. Patent No. 7,579,473, for the composition of matter of cabozantinib and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. This composition of matter patent, with patent term extension, will expire in August 2026. The following table describes the U.S. patents that cover our marketed cabozantinib products, and which are listed in the Orange Book. Except as otherwise noted, the stated expiration dates include any patent term adjustments or extensions already granted. In addition to the composition of matter patent referenced above, the table includes patents directed to other aspects of the commercial product. We continue to pursue additional patents and patent term extensions in the U.S. covering various aspects of our cabozantinib products that may, if issued, extend exclusivity beyond the expiration of the patents listed in the table.

Some of our cabozantinib patents have been subject to patent litigation with companies that filed ANDAs or 505(b)(2) applications seeking to market generic or other versions of CABOMETYX or cabozantinib, and some of our cabozantinib patents have been the subject of requests by others for inter partes review (IPR) before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these ANDA and 505(b)(2) submissions and/or any related lawsuits and/or IPRs or other challenges that may arise with respect to our patents and patent applications or provide assurance that these lawsuits and/or administrative proceedings will prevent the introduction of a generic version of CABOMETYX for any particular length of time, or at all. For a more detailed discussion of these litigation and administrative matters, see "Note 12. Commitment and Contingencies *–* Legal Proceedings" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In the EU, cabozantinib is protected by issued patents covering the composition of matter until 2029, with Supplementary Protection Certificates. In addition to the composition of matter patent, Exelixis owns certain later-expiring patents directed to the commercial product, including, particular salts, polymorphs, formulations, or use of the compound in the treatment of specified diseases or conditions.

Similarly, in Japan, cabozantinib is protected by issued patents covering the composition of matter, and salts thereof, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and related methods of use. Takeda has applied for patent term extension in Japan to extend the term of the composition of matter patent to 2029. We have other filed patent applications and

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

issued patents in the U.S. and other selected countries covering certain synthetic methods, salts, polymorphs, formulations, prodrugs, metabolites and/or combinations of cabozantinib that, if issued, are anticipated to expire as late as 2037. Outside the U.S. and Japan, cabozantinib is licensed to Ipsen, and in Japan, cabozantinib is licensed to Takeda, each in accordance with the respective collaboration agreements. A discussion of risks and uncertainties that may affect our patent position and other proprietary rights is set forth in "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

***Zanzalintinib and Other Product Candidates***

We also have issued patents and pending patent applications, and will continue to file new patent applications, in the U.S., the EU and other selected countries covering zanzalintinib and our other product candidates in clinical and/or preclinical development. Zanzalintinib is covered by U.S. Patent No. 11,542,259, and we have pending patent applications and other issued patents in the U.S. and other selected countries covering the composition of matter, certain synthetic methods, salts, polymorphs, formulations and combinations of zanzalintinib that, if issued, are anticipated to expire between 2039 and 2044, excluding any potential patent term adjustments and/or extensions.

We have obtained licenses from various parties that give us rights to technologies that we deem to be necessary or desirable for our research and development. These licenses (both exclusive and non-exclusive) may require us to pay royalties as well as upfront and milestone payments.

We require our scientific personnel to maintain laboratory notebooks and other research records in accordance with our policies, which are designed to strengthen and support our intellectual property protection. In addition to our patented intellectual property, we rely on trade secrets and other proprietary information, especially when we do not believe that patent protection is appropriate or can be obtained. We require all of our employees and consultants, outside scientific collaborators, sponsored researchers and other advisors who receive proprietary information from us to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of employment or consulting relationships with us. In addition, these agreements and, in most circumstances, our agreements with consultants, outside scientific collaborators, sponsored researchers and other advisors expressly provide that all inventions, concepts, developments, copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property developed by an employee during the employment period or developed by a service provider during the service period or utilizing our proprietary drugs or information, shall be our exclusive property. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection or adequate remedies for our trade secrets in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of such information.

**Human Capital Management**

***Our Workforce and Commitment to Inclusion***

As of December 31, 2025, we had 1,077 employees, representing a 6.10% decrease in our employee workforce as compared to December 31, 2024. Of these employees, 509 are members of our research and development teams and 568 are members of our commercial, general and administrative teams. Of these employees, 166 hold Ph.D. degrees, 24 hold M.D. (or foreign equivalent) degrees, 12 hold PharmD degrees and 89 hold other professional degrees such as a J.D. or M.B.A. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we consider our employee relations to be good.

For the past five years, our employee turnover has trended below the U.S. life sciences industry benchmark, with the exception of 2024, which reflected the impact of an organizational restructure. We regularly monitor turnover, recruitment initiatives, compensation and benefits, workplace safety and other key aspects of human capital management, and we share these insights with our Board of Directors on a periodic basis.

We are an equal opportunity employer and maintain policies that prohibit unlawful discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, national origin/ancestry, age, disability, marital and veteran status. We are proud to employ a diverse workforce that, as of December 31, 2025, was 57% non-white and 50% women. In addition, as of December 31, 2025, 53% of our positions that manage other employees directly were held by non-whites and 40.5% were held by women, and women made up 20% of our senior leadership team. We strive to build and nurture a culture where all employees feel empowered to be their authentic selves. We respect and appreciate each employee's unique perspective and experiences, and value their contributions to our mission. It is important that we celebrate, encourage and support similarities and differences to drive innovation for the benefit of our patients, employees and community.

***Culture, Compensation and Benefits***

At Exelixis, we value being exceptional in what we do and how we lead, excelling for patients by going the extra mile to care for them and exceeding together as a business and contributor to the scientific community. We strive to live these values every day across the company, integrating them into everything from our interview, hiring and onboarding processes, to our performance evaluation, rewards and recognition programs. We provide generous compensation packages designed to attract and retain high-quality employees, and all of our employees are eligible for cash bonuses and grants of long-term incentive awards. We regularly evaluate our compensation programs with an independent compensation consultant and utilize industry benchmarking to ensure our programs are competitive with the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies against which we compete for talent. We also work with third party consultants to conduct an annual, independent pay equity analysis to ensure our compensation programs are fair across our workforce. We are proud to provide a variety of programs and services to help employees meet and balance their needs at work, at home and in life, including an attractive mix of healthcare, insurance and other benefit plans. We deliver a benefits program that is designed to keep our employees and their families mentally, physically and emotionally healthy, which includes not only medical, dental and vision benefits, but also a wellness subsidy program, virtual and onsite fitness classes, adoption assistance, mental health coverage, subsidized commuter benefits and other wellness benefits. Our inclusive benefits are also designed to support family life with options including, among others, generous parental leave policies, grandparent leave, adoption, surrogacy and fertility programs, new parent and nursing mother support programs, childcare tuition subsidy and tutoring services, dependent care for children and adults, family care coordination, and pet insurance.

Beyond compensation and benefits, we also value career development for all employees, and we offer a tuition reimbursement program, as well as professional development courses ranging from technical training, competency-based workshops and leadership development programs facilitated by external partners who are experts in their respective fields. In 2024, we established the Exelixis Leadership Foundations, a comprehensive two-year leadership program designed exclusively to assist managers in achieving outcomes effectively. Managers also take an active role in identifying development plans to assist their employees in realizing their full potential for expanded responsibilities and career growth which enhance the engagement and retention across our workforce.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

*In addition to the risks discussed elsewhere in this report, the following are important factors that make an investment in our securities speculative or risky, and that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks or such other risks actually occur, our business and the value of your investment in our company could be harmed.*

**Risks Related to the Commercialization of Our Marketed Products**

***Our ability to grow our company is dependent upon the commercial success of CABOMETYX in its approved indications and, to a lesser degree, the continued clinical development, regulatory approval, clinical acceptance and commercial success of the cabozantinib franchise.***

We anticipate that for the foreseeable future, our ability to maintain or meaningfully increase cash flow to fund our business operations and growth will depend upon the continued commercial success of CABOMETYX, both alone and in

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

combination with other therapies, as a treatment for the highly competitive indications for which it is approved, and possibly for other indications for which cabozantinib is currently being or will be evaluated in clinical trials. We cannot be certain that these clinical trials will demonstrate adequate safety and efficacy to receive regulatory approval, and even if the required regulatory approvals to market CABOMETYX for additional indications are achieved, we and our collaboration partners may not be able to commercialize CABOMETYX effectively and successfully in such indications. If revenue from CABOMETYX decreases or remains flat, or if we or our collaboration partners fail to achieve anticipated product royalties and collaboration milestones, we may need to reduce our operating expenses, access other sources of cash or otherwise modify our business plans, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Our ability to grow revenues from sales of CABOMETYX depends upon the degree of market acceptance among physicians, patients, healthcare payers, and the medical community.***

Our ability to increase or maintain revenues from sales of CABOMETYX for its approved indications is highly dependent upon the extent of market acceptance of CABOMETYX among physicians, patients, foreign and U.S. government healthcare payers such as Medicare and Medicaid, commercial healthcare plans and the medical community. Market acceptance for CABOMETYX could be impacted by numerous factors, including the effectiveness and safety profile, or the perceived effectiveness and safety profile, of CABOMETYX compared to competing products, the strength of CABOMETYX sales and marketing efforts and changes in pricing and reimbursement for CABOMETYX. If CABOMETYX does not continue to be prescribed broadly for the treatment of patients in its approved indications, our product revenues could flatten or decrease, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Our competitors may develop products and technologies that impair the relative value of our marketed products and any current and future product candidates.***

The biopharmaceutical industry is competitive and characterized by constant technological change and diverse offerings of products, particularly in the area of oncology therapies. Some of our competitors have greater capital resources, larger research and development staff and facilities, deeper organizational regulatory experience and more extensive product manufacturing and commercial capabilities than we do, which may afford them a competitive advantage. Further, our competitors may in-license and develop new commercial products that could render our products, and those of our collaboration partners, obsolete or noncompetitive. We face, and will continue to face, intense competition from biopharmaceutical companies, as well as academic research institutions, clinical reference laboratories and government agencies that are pursuing scientific and clinical research activities similar to ours.

The specific indications for which CABOMETYX is currently or may be approved in the future are highly competitive. Several novel therapies and combinations of therapies have been approved, are in advanced stages of clinical development or are under expedited regulatory review in these indications, and these other therapies are currently competing or are expected to compete with CABOMETYX, or the FDA may update their labeling to add accepted indications that compete with CABOMETYX. Even if our current and future clinical trials produce positive results sufficient to obtain marketing approval by the FDA and other global regulatory authorities, it is uncertain whether physicians will choose to prescribe regimens containing our products instead of competing products and product combinations in approved indications.

***If we are unable to maintain or increase our sales, marketing, market access and product distribution capabilities for our products, we may be unable to maximize product revenues, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

Maintaining our sales, marketing, market access and product distribution capabilities requires significant resources, and there are numerous risks involved with maintaining and continuously improving our commercial organization, including our potential inability to successfully recruit, train, retain and incentivize adequate numbers of qualified and effective sales and marketing personnel. We are competing for talent with numerous commercial- and precommercial-stage, oncology-focused biopharmaceutical companies seeking to build out and maintain their commercial organizations, as well as larger biopharmaceutical organizations that have extensive, well-funded and more experienced sales and marketing operations, and we may be unable to maintain or adequately scale our commercial organization because of such competition. Also, to the extent that the commercial opportunities for CABOMETYX grow over time, we may not properly scale the size and experience of our commercialization teams to market and sell CABOMETYX successfully in an expanded number of indications. If we are unable to maintain or scale our commercial function appropriately, we may

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

not be able to maximize product revenues, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***If we are unable to obtain or maintain coverage and reimbursement for our products from government and other third-party payers, our business will suffer.***

Our ability to commercialize our products successfully is highly dependent on the extent to which health insurance coverage and reimbursement is, and will be, available from third-party payers, including foreign and U.S. governmental payers, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and private health insurers. Third-party payers continue to scrutinize and manage access to pharmaceutical products and services and may limit reimbursement for newly approved products and indications. Patients are generally not capable of paying for CABOMETYX or COMETRIQ themselves and rely on third-party payers to pay for, or subsidize, the costs of their medications, among other medical costs. Accordingly, market acceptance of CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ is dependent on the extent to which coverage and reimbursement is available from third-party payers. These payer entities could refuse, limit or condition coverage for our products, such as by using tiered reimbursement or pressing for new forms of contracting, or alternatively for patients who rely on our co-pay assistance program, implementing co-pay accumulators or maximizers that exempt such co-pay assistance from patient deductibles (or otherwise modify benefit designs in a manner that takes into account the availability of co-pay assistance), which actions have increased and could further increase the costs of our co-pay assistance program or cause patients to abandon CABOMETYX or COMETRIQ therapy due to higher out-of-pocket costs. In April 2024, the CMS finalized regulations that will mitigate maximizer programs by requiring individual and small group market health plans to consider as essential health benefits (EHB) all prescription drugs that are covered in excess of a state's EHB benchmark plan. The Departments of Labor, Treasury, and HHS stated their intent to address the application of this policy to large group market and self-insured plans in future rulemaking. CMS also plans to address in future rulemaking the application of manufacturer assistance to the annual cost-sharing limit; this follows a 2023 federal district court decision vacating a rule that provided health plans with discretion whether to include manufacturer assistance toward the annual cost-sharing limit. If third-party payers do not provide or increase limitations on coverage or reimbursement for CABOMETYX or COMETRIQ, our revenues and results of operations may suffer. In addition, even if third-party payers provide some coverage or reimbursement for CABOMETYX or COMETRIQ, the availability of such coverage or reimbursement for prescription drugs under private health insurance and managed care plans, which often varies based on the type of contract or plan purchased, may not be sufficient for patients to afford CABOMETYX or COMETRIQ.

***Current healthcare laws, policies, and regulations in the U.S. and future legislative or regulatory reforms to the U.S. healthcare system, including those related to drug pricing, may affect our ability to commercialize our marketed products profitably. Pricing for pharmaceutical products in the U.S. has come under increasing attention and scrutiny by federal and state governments, legislative bodies and enforcement agencies. Initiatives arising from this scrutiny may result in changes that have the effect of reducing our revenue or harming our business or reputation.***

Concern over access to and affordability of pharmaceutical products continues to spur debate and action by U.S. federal and state government authorities in an effort to contain healthcare costs. Such proposals and actions include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• use of mandated discounts, rebates, restrictive formularies, or other reference-based price controls, such as most favored nation (MFN) or international reference pricing, direct-to-consumer sales of prescription drugs, as well as price transparency reporting obligations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrictions on Medicaid funding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• efforts to reevaluate, reduce or limit the price patients pay for pharmaceutical products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• implementation of additional data collection and transparency reporting regarding drug pricing, rebates, fees and other remuneration provided by drug manufacturers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• tariffs on imported pharmaceuticals, or their components;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• revisions to rules associated with the calculation of average manufacturer price and average sales price; best price and rebate liability (including broadening the circumstances under which products are subject to rebates and recent changes CMS made to the calculation of average sales price for the Medicare Part B program regarding the treatment of fees as "bona fide service fees" and for bundled sales, which CMS could seek to implement in the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, and which in turn could impact our rebate liability) for the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, along with CMS' stated objective to consider potential future rulemaking that if implemented, could significantly increase manufacturer rebate liability; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reevaluation of safe harbors under the federal Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS).

The IRA, which, among other things: enables CMS to assert control over the prices of certain single-source drugs and biotherapeutics reimbursed under the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program; subjects drug manufacturers to potential civil monetary penalties and a significant excise tax for offering a price that is not equal to or less than the government-imposed MFP under the law; imposes Medicare rebates for certain Part B and Part D drugs where relevant pricing metrics associated with the products increase faster than inflation; and redesigns the funding and benefit structure of the Medicare Part D program, potentially increasing manufacturer liability while capping annual out-of-pocket drug expenses for Medicare beneficiaries. These provisions started taking effect incrementally in late 2022 and currently are subject to various legal challenges. As of the date of this report, for example, CMS has begun to implement aspects of the IRA and finalized regulations addressing the Medicare Part B and Medicare Part D inflation rebate provisions of the IRA. These provisions generally require manufacturers of Medicare Part B and Part D rebatable drugs to pay inflation rebates to the Medicare program if pricing metrics associated with their products increase faster than the rate of inflation. In addition, in September 2025, CMS issued final guidance for the third round of drug pricing evaluations (for which the next 15 selected products were announced January 27, 2026, with negotiations to follow over the course of the year, resulting in MFPs that will become effective beginning in 2028), as well as requirements for manufacturers effectuating MFPs in 2026, 2027, and 2028. The IRA also contains the limited small biotech exception, which applies on a drug-specific basis. Qualifying drugs may be exempt from possible pricing negotiation through 2028 and eligible for a lower limit (i.e., a price floor) on the potential MFP in 2029 and 2030, if the manufacturers of those drugs continue to qualify each year. We have qualified for the small biotech exception with respect to our cabozantinib franchise products through Initial Price Applicability Year (IPAY) 2027, and we reapplied for the small biotech exception for IPAY 2028. Additionally, in July 2025, Congress enacted legislation that expands the orphan drug exclusion under the IRA. Starting with price evaluations for 2028, CMS cannot select a drug if all of its approved indications are for rare diseases or conditions. Moreover, if a drug no longer qualifies for the orphan drug exclusion because it is approved for a non-rare disease or condition, the 7-year or 9-year timeline before it may be selected will begin upon approval of the drug for such non-rare disease or condition. Separately, in December 2024, CMS released final guidance on the Part D Discount Program, which requires manufacturers to take on more of the beneficiary cost previously subsidized by the federal government through the application of increased drug discounts. As we received notice from CMS that we qualify for the "specified small manufacturer" designation, we are eligible for a phase-in of the increased manufacturer discounts under the Part D Discount Program from 2025 to 2031. In November 2025, CMS issued a proposed rule on the Part D Discount Program that largely codifies the final guidance. In April 2025, CMS finalized regulations implementing the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan, under which Medicare Part D beneficiaries may opt to make their cost-sharing payments in capped monthly installments; CMS expects that this program will most likely benefit those beneficiaries with high cost-sharing early in their respective plan years.

Over time, the IRA could reduce the revenues we are able to collect from sales of our products or present challenges for payer negotiations and formulary access for our products, as well as increase our government discount and rebate liabilities; however, the degree of impact that the IRA will ultimately have upon our business remains unclear. In addition, we cannot know the final form or timing of any other legislative, regulatory and/or administrative measures, and some of these pending and enacted policy changes, if implemented as currently proposed, would likely have significant and far-reaching impacts on the biopharmaceutical industry and therefore likely also have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, there is ongoing litigation challenging the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program, and we cannot predict the outcome of these cases.

If additional prescription drug price controls are implemented, the resulting changes to the pricing and reimbursement of CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ could affect our ability to continue to commercialize the products. Consolidation and integration of private payers and pharmacy benefit managers in the U.S. has also significantly impacted the market for pharmaceuticals by increasing payer leverage in negotiating manufacturer price or rebate concessions and pharmacy reimbursement rates. Such restrictive or unfavorable pricing, coverage or reimbursement determinations for CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ or our other product candidates, whether made by governments (including regulatory agencies and courts) or by private payers, may adversely impact our business.

In addition, there have been, and may in the future be, initiatives at both the federal and state level or legal challenges that could significantly modify the terms and scope of government-provided health insurance coverage, ranging from changes to or litigation opposing some or all of the provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended, to establishing a single-payer, national health insurance system, to more limited "buy-in" options to existing public health insurance programs, any of which could have a significant impact on the healthcare industry. Although such attempts to reform the U.S. healthcare system have not significantly impacted our business to date, it is possible that additional legislative, executive and judicial activities in the future could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the current U.S. administration has indicated that it plans to pursue additional policies aimed at lowering prescription drug costs. For example, on May 12, 2025, the current administration published an executive order that expressed support for equalizing the prices paid for drugs in the United States and other developed countries by employing an MFN approach to drug pricing. The May 12 executive order directs the Secretary of the HHS to communicate MFN price targets to pharmaceutical manufacturers, which the Secretary announced on May 20, 2025. If significant progress towards MFN pricing targets is not delivered, the executive order directs the Secretary to propose a rulemaking plan to impose MFN pricing. On September 25, 2025 and October 2, 2025, CMS submitted proposed rules for Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) models, called the Global Benchmark for Efficient Drug Pricing (GLOBE) Model and Guarding U.S. Medicare Against Rising Drug Costs (GUARD) Model, to the White House for review. These models, if implemented, may allow CMS to pursue formalized approaches to MFN pricing for prescription drugs. In addition, on November 6, 2025, CMS published a request for applications for another CMMI model, the GENEROUS (GENErating cost Reductions fOr U.S. Medicaid) Model. This is a voluntary model that tests the effect of supplemental rebate agreements between manufacturers and CMS, which align Medicaid prices with a defined MFN price. The scope of these models and the impact that they could have on Exelixis' products is unclear at this time.

It is also unclear which authorities the current administration could use to effectuate an MFN approach beyond the CMMI models, although the May 12 executive order makes reference to using waivers on import restrictions under section 804(j)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) and also to various authorities, including the antitrust laws. And, previously, on April 15, 2025, the current administration published a separate executive order that, among other things, directs specified agency heads to pursue a range of drug policy reforms, including, among other things, innovative payment models to obtain better value for high-cost prescription drugs and biologics, increasing access to drugs imported from Canada, and accelerating the approval of generics. Because the specifics of these proposals are unclear, there is uncertainty about how these and other potential legal or regulatory changes may affect our business.

Furthermore, because we participate in the 340B Program to sell a portion of our marketed products, changes in the administration of the program could have a material adverse impact on our revenues. Effective July 2022, and as subsequently updated, we implemented a 340B Program Integrity Initiative, pursuant to which Exelixis offers its 340B covered outpatient drugs (i.e., CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ) directly to all covered entities (i.e., entities that participate in the 340B Program) at their Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) registered locations (including both the HRSA registered parent and child site locations), and requires that covered entities provide claims-level data for all dispenses of Exelixis' 340B covered outpatient drugs including dispenses of such products at covered entity in-house pharmacies. A covered entity that does not have an in-house pharmacy capable of dispensing 340B drugs to its patients may designate one (1) contract pharmacy within our authorized specialty pharmacy network for delivery of 340B priced drugs, but may no longer select an affiliated contract pharmacy to fulfill this purpose. We believe this initiative will provide much-needed transparency and promote compliance with program requirements, and at the same time, should not restrict patient access to our medicines.

Some manufacturers that have implemented similar contract pharmacy integrity programs received enforcement letters from the HHS asserting that those programs violate the 340B Program statute, have been referred to the HHS Office of Inspector General for assessment of civil monetary penalties, and have been subject to administrative dispute resolution (ADR) proceedings brought on behalf of covered entities. Several manufacturers are challenging the HHS' position in litigation. Relatedly, in November 2023, we received from several covered entities a 340B Program ADR petition seeking to invoke an administrative adjudication process overseen by the HRSA. The petitioners contend that our 340B Program Integrity Initiative caused them to be overcharged for CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ. We have since received confirmation that the HRSA will assign an ADR panel to the claim and responded to the complaint in October 2024. At this time, it remains unclear what, if any, liabilities we might incur as a party to this ADR proceeding.

In addition, a growing number of states have enacted laws requiring manufacturers to provide the 340B Program pricing through contract pharmacy arrangements, and additional states may adopt similar laws. We believe these laws, which are being challenged in ongoing litigation, are invalid or are otherwise inapplicable to our 340B Program Integrity Initiative, but we have carved out covered entities in certain states while litigation challenging these laws proceeds. We also believe that our 340B Program Integrity Initiative complies with the 340B Program statute, as supported by the federal appellate court decisions in *Sanofi Aventis U.S. LLC v. United States Department of Health and Human Services* (U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit) and *Novartis v. Johnson* (U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia).

On March 17, 2025, April 24, 2025, and May 27, 2025, we received notice letters (collectively, Notices) from the West Virginia Board of Pharmacy (WV Board) of complaints filed against us for purported violations of laws related to distribution of drugs to 340B facilities (West Virginia Code § 60A-8-6a (WV Statute)). The WV Statute provides for civil

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

monetary penalties, in addition to investigative demands, remedies, and other penalties for violations. We acknowledged receipt of the Notices, and there have been no further communications. Other pharmaceutical manufacturers are challenging the WV Statute in court.

Depending on the outcome of the ongoing litigation or any specific proceedings involving us, however, we may be required to modify or suspend our 340B Program Integrity Initiative. Ultimately, any negative ruling in a federal court, HHS administrative proceeding, or state-level proceeding in which we are a party, or in which the compliance of our 340B Program Integrity Initiative is at issue, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Other aspects of the 340B Program are subject to ongoing litigation, the resolution of which could impact the scope of the 340B Program. In addition, potential policy changes by the current U.S. administration may introduce additional uncertainty for our business. These could include changes to the level of scrutiny applied by the HRSA to enforce non-compliance with the 340B Drug Pricing Program, new price restrictions on products we sell to Medicaid, Medicare, or other government purchasers, or other regulatory changes impacting reimbursement or competitive dynamics in multisource markets. Any such policy shifts could significantly impact our business and operations. Due to general uncertainty with respect to these issues, we are unable to predict the impact of any future legislative, regulatory, third-party payer, or policy actions at this time. If proposed changes are ultimately enacted, we and any third parties we might engage may be unable to adapt to any changes implemented because of such measures, and we could face difficulties in maintaining or increasing profitability or otherwise experience a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Increasingly, states are enacting legislation requiring manufacturers to report drug pricing information. However, states have not always clearly defined their reporting requirements, which may result in manufacturers inadvertently failing to properly disclose the required pricing information. Complying with federal and state programs and future changes to these programs can be complex and cost-and resource-intensive and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.

In addition to such drug pricing and transparency matters, other state legislative and regulatory initiatives include proposals designed to control pharmaceutical and biotherapeutic product pricing, including restrictions on pricing or reimbursement at the state government level, limitations on discounts to patients, advance notices of price increases, marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, and, in some cases, policies to encourage importation from other countries (subject to federal approval) and bulk purchasing.

***Lengthy regulatory pricing and reimbursement procedures and cost control initiatives imposed by governments outside the U.S. could delay the marketing of and/or result in downward pressure on the price of our approved products, resulting in a decrease in revenue.***

Outside the U.S., including major markets in the EU and Japan, the pricing and reimbursement of prescription pharmaceuticals is generally subject to significant governmental control. In these countries, pricing and reimbursement negotiations with governmental authorities or payers can take six to 12 months or longer after the initial marketing authorization is granted for a product, or after the marketing authorization for a new indication is granted. This can substantially delay broad availability of the product. To obtain reimbursement and/or pricing approval in some countries, our collaboration partners Ipsen and Takeda may also be required to conduct a study or otherwise provide data that seeks to establish the cost effectiveness of CABOMETYX compared with other available established therapies. The conduct of such a study could also result in delays in the commercialization of CABOMETYX.

Additionally, cost-control initiatives, increasingly based on affordability and accessibility, as well as post-marketing assessments of the added value of CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ as compared to existing treatments, could influence the prices paid for and net revenues we realize from CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ, or the indications for which we are able to obtain reimbursement, which would result in lower license revenues to us. Recent legislative changes and ongoing policy changes in the EU are aimed at increasing cooperation between the Member States of the EEA. Such initiatives, particularly the Regulation on Health Technology Assessment adopted in December 2021 and entered into application in January 2025, may further impact the price and reimbursement status of CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ.

***The timing of the entrance of generic competitors to CABOMETYX and legislative and regulatory action designed to reduce barriers to the development, approval and adoption of generic drugs in the U.S. could limit the revenue we derive from our products, most notably CABOMETYX, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

Under the FDCA, the FDA can approve an ANDA for a generic version of a branded drug without the applicant undertaking the human clinical testing necessary to obtain approval to market a new drug. The FDA can also approve a 505(b)(2) NDA that relies in part on the FDA's findings of safety and/or effectiveness for a previously approved drug, where at least some of the information required for approval comes from studies not conducted by or for the applicant and for which the applicant has not obtained a right of reference or use. Both the ANDA and 505(b)(2) NDA processes are discussed in more detail in "Item 1. Business—Government Regulation—FDA Review and Approval—Abbreviated FDA Approval Pathways and Generic Products" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In either case, if an ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA applicant submits an application referencing one of our marketed products prior to the expiry of one or more of our Orange Book-listed patents for the applicable product and includes a paragraph IV certification asserting that the patents are invalid or not infringed, we may litigate with the potential generic competitor to protect our patent rights, which would result in substantial costs, divert the attention of management, and could have an adverse impact on our stock price. For example, other companies, including MSN Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (individually and collectively with certain of its affiliates, including MSN Laboratories Private Limited, referred to as MSN) have applied for or received tentative approval for an ANDA for generic versions of CABOMETYX tablets. Azurity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Azurity) has received tentative approval for a 505(b)(2) NDA for cabozantinib tablets and Handa Oncology, LLC (Handa) has submitted a 505(b)(2) NDA requesting approval to market cabozantinib capsules (in the form of cabozantinib lauryl sulfate). Both of these 505(b)(2) products are for different strengths of cabozantinib than CABOMETYX. Because of this, we believe that the FDA would not consider them to be therapeutically equivalent and they cannot be automatically substituted for CABOMETYX. With the exception of Handa (for which we continue to evaluate all legal and strategic options), we have subsequently filed patent infringement lawsuits against these companies. For a more detailed discussion of these matters, see "Legal Proceedings" in Part I, Item 3 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. It is possible that MSN, Azurity, Handa, or other companies, will obtain FDA approval of an ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA, and introduce generic or otherwise competitor versions of cabozantinib before our patents expire if they do not infringe our patents or if it is determined that our patents are invalid or unenforceable. We expect that generic cabozantinib products would be offered at a significantly lower price compared to our marketed cabozantinib products. Regardless of the regulatory approach, the introduction of a generic version of cabozantinib would likely decrease our revenues derived from the U.S. sales of CABOMETYX and thereby materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. There are also equivalent procedures in the EEA permitting authorization of generic versions of medicinal products authorized in the EU once related data and market exclusivity periods have expired.

The U.S. federal government has also taken numerous legislative and regulatory actions to expedite the development and approval of generic drugs. Both Congress and the FDA are considering, and have enacted, various legislative and regulatory proposals focused on drug competition, including legislation focused on drug patenting and provision of drug to generic applicants for testing. For example, the Ensuring Innovation Act, enacted in April 2021, amended the FDA's statutory authority for granting NCE exclusivity to reflect the FDA's existing regulations and longstanding interpretation that award NCE exclusivity based on a drug's active moiety, as opposed to its active ingredient, which is intended to limit the applicability of NCE exclusivity, thereby potentially facilitating generic competition. In addition, the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020, which incorporated the framework from the Creating and Restoring Equal Access To Equivalent Samples (CREATES) legislation, allows ANDA, 505(b)(2) NDA or biosimilar developers to obtain access to quantities of branded drug and biological product samples necessary to conduct research and development. Further, Section 3222 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, enacted on December 29, 2022 (2023 Appropriations Act), requires the FDA to make therapeutic equivalence determinations for 505(b)(2) NDAs at the time of approval, or up to 180 days thereafter, if requested by the applicant. Additionally, Section 3224 of the 2023 Appropriations Act allows the FDA to approve an ANDA even if there are differences between the generic drug's proposed labeling and that of the listed drug due to the FDA approving a change to the listed drug's label (excluding warnings) within 90 days of when the ANDA is otherwise eligible for approval, provided that the ANDA applicant agrees to submit revised labeling for the generic drug within 60 days of approval. In addition, the policies introduced in the Generic Drug User Fee Amendments Commitment Letter give the FDA greater flexibility to approve ANDAs without adding additional review cycles when there are changes to the reference listed drug that may previously have delayed approval. While the full impact of these provisions is unclear at this time, they have the potential to facilitate the development and future approval and market success of generic versions of our products, introducing generic competition that could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, in September 2023, the FTC issued a policy statement, supported by the FDA, warning brand pharmaceutical companies that they could face legal action under the FTC

Act if they improperly list patents in the Orange Book, and it subsequently initiated, and continues to initiate, challenges against patents held by brand pharmaceutical companies and listed in the Orange Book under the FDA's patent listing dispute process. In December 2024, the Federal Circuit ruled that, to be listed in the Orange Book, a patent must claim the active ingredient of the drug product. This decision may limit the number of patents brand pharmaceutical companies may list in the Orange Book. In April 2025, the U.S. administration issued an executive order that, among other things, directs the FDA to issue a report with recommendations to accelerate the approval of generics, biosimilars, combination products, and second-in-class brand name medications, and, in October 2025, the FDA announced a pilot prioritization program that makes generic drugs for which required bioequivalence testing is conducted in the U.S. and that are made in the U.S. using domestic sources for active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) eligible for priority review. It remains to be seen what effect these may have on potential generic competition for our products, if any.

**Risks Related to Growth of Our Product Portfolio and Research and Development**

***We may be unable to expand our discovery and development pipeline, which could limit our growth and revenue potential.***

Our business is focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of new medicines for difficult-to-treat cancers. In this regard, we have invested substantial technical, financial and human resources toward drug discovery activities with the goal of identifying new potential product candidates to advance into clinical trials. Notwithstanding this investment, many drug discovery programs that initially show promise will ultimately fail to yield clinical product candidates for multiple reasons. For example, product candidates and preclinical development candidates may, on further study, be shown to have inadequate efficacy, harmful side effects, suboptimal pharmaceutical profiles or other characteristics suggesting that they are unlikely to become commercially viable products.

Apart from our drug discovery efforts, our strategy to expand our development pipeline is also dependent on our ability to successfully identify and acquire or in-license relevant investigational oncology assets and technologies. However, the in-licensing and acquisition of investigational oncology assets and technologies is a highly competitive area, and many other companies are pursuing the same or similar investigational oncology assets and technologies to those that we may consider attractive. Larger companies with more capital resources and more extensive clinical development and commercialization capabilities may have a competitive advantage over us. Furthermore, companies that perceive us to be a competitor may be unwilling to assign or license rights to us. We may also be unable to in-license or acquire additional investigational oncology assets and technologies on acceptable terms that would allow us to realize an appropriate return on our investment. Even if we succeed in our efforts to obtain rights to suitable investigational oncology assets and technologies, the competitive business environment may result in higher acquisition or licensing costs, and our investment in these potential product candidates and technologies will remain subject to the inherent risks associated with the development and commercialization of new medicines. In certain circumstances, we may also be reliant on licensors for the continued development of any product candidates and/or technologies that we have in-licensed and such licensors' efforts to safeguard their underlying intellectual property.

With respect to acquisitions, we may not be able to integrate the target company successfully into our existing business, maintain the key business relationships of the target company, or retain key personnel of the acquired business. Furthermore, we could assume unknown or contingent liabilities or otherwise incur unanticipated expenses. Any acquisitions or investments made by us also could result in our spending significant amounts of resources, issuing dilutive securities, assuming or incurring significant debt obligations and contingent liabilities, incurring large one-time expenses, and acquiring intangible assets that could result in significant future amortization expense and significant write-offs, any of which could harm our financial condition and results of operations. If our drug discovery efforts, including research collaborations, in-licensing arrangements and other business development activities, do not result in suitable product candidates, our business and prospects for growth could suffer.

***Clinical testing of our product candidates is a lengthy, costly, complex and uncertain process that may ultimately fail to demonstrate sufficiently differentiated safety and efficacy data for those products to compete in our highly competitive market environment.***

Clinical trials are inherently risky and may reveal that a product candidate is ineffective or has an unacceptable safety profile with respect to an intended use. This also applies to the testing of new indications for cabozantinib, or the clinical development of zanzalintinib, or any of our other product candidates. Adverse clinical trial results may significantly decrease the likelihood of regulatory approval of a new product or a new indication for an existing product. Furthermore, the results of preliminary studies do not necessarily predict clinical or commercial success, and late-stage or other

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

potentially label-enabling clinical trials may fail to confirm the results observed in early-stage trials or preliminary studies. Finally, although we have established timelines for clinical development as well as manufacturing of zanzalintinib and our other product candidates based on existing knowledge of our compounds in development and industry metrics, we may not be able to meet those timelines.

We may experience numerous unforeseen events, during or as a result of clinical investigations, that could delay or prevent commercialization of cabozantinib in new indications or of zanzalintinib or our other new product candidates. These events may include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lack of acceptable efficacy or a tolerable safety profile;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• being placed on clinical hold by the FDA due to safety or effectiveness concerns;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• negative or inconclusive clinical trial results that require us to conduct further testing or to abandon projects;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• discovery or commercialization by our competitors of other compounds or therapies that demonstrate potentially superior safety or efficacy profiles as compared to cabozantinib, zanzalintinib or our other product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our inability to identify and maintain a sufficient number of clinical trial sites;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lower-than-anticipated patient registration or enrollment in our clinical testing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• additional complexities posed by clinical trials evaluating cabozantinib, zanzalintinib or our other product candidates in combination with other therapies, including extended timelines to provide for collaboration on clinical development planning, the failure by our collaboration partners to provide us with an adequate and timely supply of product that complies with the applicable quality and regulatory requirements for a combination trial;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduced staffing or shortages in laboratory supplies and other resources necessary to complete clinical trials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• replacement of staff at the FDA's OCE that changes OCE's view of the acceptability of the design, conduct, or data produced by our clinical trials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure of our third-party contract research organizations or investigators to satisfy their contractual obligations, including deviating from any trial protocols or failing to adhere to appropriate recordkeeping or data integrity requirements; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• withholding of authorization from regulators or institutional review boards to commence or conduct clinical trials or delays, variations, suspensions or terminations of clinical research for various reasons, including noncompliance with regulatory requirements or a determination by these regulators and institutional review boards that participating patients are being exposed to unacceptable health risks.

Further, with the passage of the Food and Drug Omnibus Reform Act of 2022 (FDORA), Congress clarified the FDA's authority to conduct inspections by expressly permitting inspection of facilities involved in the preparation, conduct or analysis of clinical and non-clinical studies submitted to the FDA, as well as of other persons holding study records or otherwise involved in the study process, which could delay or add complexity to our clinical trials.

The ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East and the political, economic and social instability in Venezuela have had modest impacts on our clinical development operations and may continue to have adverse impacts on the ability of clinical sites and enrolled patients to adhere to trial protocols for in-office clinical visits and other procedures, our ability to supply clinical sites with cabozantinib, zanzalintinib or other study drugs and to pay clinical sites and investigators for work performed, as well as our ability to collect data and conduct site monitoring visits, all of which could undermine the data quality for patients enrolled at these clinical sites. These issues could further impact our anticipated timelines for completing the trials and achieving clinical endpoints, as well as increase our clinical development expenses. If there are further delays in or termination of the clinical testing of cabozantinib, zanzalintinib or our other product candidates due to any of the events described above or otherwise, our expenses could increase and our ability to generate revenues could be impaired, either of which could adversely impact our financial results. Furthermore, we have relied and may in the future rely on collaboration partners to share a significant portion of the expenses associated with our clinical development programs. Should one or all of our collaboration partners decline to support future planned clinical trials, we will be entirely responsible for financing the further development of the cabozantinib franchise, zanzalintinib or our other product candidates and, as a result, the burden of clinical trial expenses we incur associated with our business plans may be materially greater than currently anticipated, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

We may not be able to pursue the further development of the cabozantinib franchise, zanzalintinib or our other product candidates or meet current or future requirements of the FDA or regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions in accordance with our stated timelines or at all. Our planned clinical trials may not begin on time, or at all, may not be completed on schedule, or at all, may not be sufficient for registration of our product candidates or otherwise may not result in an approvable product. The duration and the cost of clinical trials vary significantly due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the characteristics of the product candidate under investigation; the number of patients who ultimately participate in the clinical trial; the duration of patient follow-up; the number of clinical sites included in the trial; and the length of time required to enroll eligible patients. Any delay could limit our ability to generate revenues, cause us to incur additional expenses and cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly.

***The regulatory approval processes of the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities are lengthy, uncertain and subject to change, and may not result in regulatory approvals for additional cabozantinib indications or for our other product candidates, such as zanzalintinib, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

The activities associated with the research, development and commercialization of the cabozantinib franchise, zanzalintinib and our other product candidates are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory agencies in the U.S., as well as by comparable regulatory authorities in other territories. The processes of obtaining regulatory approvals in the U.S. and other foreign jurisdictions are expensive and often takes many years, if approval is obtained at all, and they can vary substantially based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product candidates involved. For example, before an NDA or sNDA can be submitted to the FDA, or a MAA to the EMA or any application or submission to comparable regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions, the product candidate must undergo extensive clinical trials, which can take many years and require substantial expenditures.

Any clinical trial may fail to produce results satisfactory to the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities; moreover, these regulatory authorities have substantial discretion and influence over clinical trial design and conduct, as well as the drug approval process. As such, approval outcomes are difficult to predict. Even if late-state, registrational clinical trials for our new products are positive, the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities may refuse to approve any NDA or sNDA or their foreign equivalents, or require additional preclinical, clinical, safety or other non-clinical studies.

In addition, policy-based activities could delay the approval of an application for cabozantinib, zanzalintinib, or our other product candidates. For example, the FDA's OCE has many initiatives aimed at improving oncology drug development, some of which may lead to the need for additional studies, such as dose optimization. Many of these initiatives are based on guidance issued by OCE. If the FDA chooses to withdraw those guidance documents for any reason it may affect our ability to gain regulatory approval based on studies that relied on those guidance documents. The FDA also continues to develop and finalize guidance documents that further refine the development process for oncology drug products, although the FDA's rate of issuing guidance has slowed significantly under the current U.S. administration. And, as this market expands, it becomes increasingly difficult to demonstrate benefit over the standard of care, which can be a hurdle for approval. Moreover, the development of our product candidates may be delayed by other events beyond our control. For example, action by the current U.S. administration to further limit federal agency budgets or personnel, may result in reductions to the FDA's budget, workforce, and operations, which may lead to slower response times and longer review periods, potentially affecting our ability to progress development of our product candidates or obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates. Pursuant to a February 2025 executive order on workforce optimization, on March 27, 2025, the HHS announced that it was initiating a restructuring of the department, including reducing the FDA's workforce by approximately 3,500 full-time employees, which began on April 1, 2025. The termination of these employees has been preceded and accompanied by the resignation of senior and mid-level leaders within the FDA, which could result in the potential loss of certain institutional knowledge and experience. Terminations, and resignations at the FDA have continued and there has been notable turnover and instability in key leadership positions. Although the full impact of these events remains unclear, there could be an adverse effect on the FDA's ability to efficiently carry out its functions, including conducting inspections and timely reviewing drug product applications, and a potential impact on how it interprets and enforces its authorities, which may be also exacerbated by other events, such as a U.S. federal government shutdown. Further, ongoing deregulation and transparency efforts at the FDA could create regulatory uncertainty for biopharmaceutical companies. Additionally, uncertainty remains as to how the FDA's use of artificial intelligence (AI) and deployment of agentic AI capabilities, including for review of drug product applications, will impact the outcomes and timeliness of FDA reviews and other activities.

The FDA has also been tightening the requirements for confirmatory studies for drugs approved via accelerated approval under additional authorities the FDA received in Section 3210 of the FDORA (incorporated in Section 3222 of the

------

2023 Appropriations Act). While the standard for accelerated approval remains unchanged, the FDA may now require that confirmatory trials for drugs approved under the pathway be underway prior to approval, which was not previously a requirement. The changes to the law are intended to prevent accelerated approval of drugs without verified clinical benefit, which had previously resulted in withdrawal of approval for certain products and indications approved on an accelerated basis. While it is not clear at this time how these legislative and regulatory initiatives will affect our plans to pursue accelerated approval for one or more of our product candidates, these developments may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The FDA may also choose to convene an advisory committee of independent experts to evaluate the adequacy of the safety and efficacy data supporting a drug candidate's approvability. The outcome of such advisory committee meetings is inherently uncertain and may have a significant impact on the likelihood, timing, and scope of regulatory approval for our product candidates. In addition, while influential, advisory committee decisions are not binding on the FDA and there have been instances in the oncology space where the FDA chose not to take an advisory committee's recommendation. There is also the risk that an advisory committee may recommend against approval, suggest a narrower indication, or require additional studies or safety labeling, and the FDA may or may not accept these recommendations. This uncertainty is heightened by recent leadership changes at OCE, which may result in shifts in regulatory priorities, review standards, or interpretations of clinical data, further complicating the approval process. As a result, the regulatory pathway for our drug candidates may be even more unpredictable, complex, and lengthy, and any adverse outcome in the advisory committee process or final FDA decision could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

Even if the FDA or a comparable authority in another jurisdiction grants accelerated approval for cabozantinib in one or more new indications or for zanzalintinib or one of our other product candidates, such accelerated approval may be limited, imposing significant restrictions on the indicated uses, conditions for use, labeling, distribution, and/or production of the product and would impose requirements for post-marketing studies, including additional research and clinical trials, all of which may result in significant expense and limit our and our collaboration partners' ability to commercialize cabozantinib, zanzalintinib or our other product candidates in any new indications. In addition, some products approved under accelerated approval have encountered challenges with CMS coverage determinations. Failure to complete post-marketing requirements could significantly increase costs or delay, limit or ultimately restrict the commercialization of cabozantinib, zanzalintinib or another product candidate in the approved indication, or result in product withdrawal. Further, current or any future laws or executive orders governing FDA or foreign regulatory approval processes that may be enacted or executed could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

**Risks Related to Financial Matters**

***Our profitability could be negatively impacted if expenses associated with our drug discovery, clinical development, business development and commercialization activities grow more quickly than the revenues we generate.***

Although we reported net income of $782.6 million and $521.3 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, we may not be able to maintain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis, and we are unable to predict the extent of future profits or losses. The amount of our net profits or losses will depend, in part, on: the level of sales of CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ in the U.S.; our achievement of development, regulatory and commercial milestones, if any, under our collaboration agreements; the amount of royalties from sales of CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ outside of the U.S. under our collaboration agreements; other collaboration revenues; and the level of our expenses associated with our extensive drug discovery, clinical development, business development and commercialization activities, as well as our general business expansion plans. Our expected future expenses may also be increased by inflationary pressures, which could increase the costs of outside services, labor, raw materials and finished drug product. Significant changes in tariffs or other trade barriers, such as the enactment of tariffs on goods imported into the United States, including, but not limited to, tariffs on goods imported from China, Mexico and Canada (including raw materials and components used in our manufacturing processes) or the introduction of additional tariffs or other trade barriers, could also increase the costs of our finished drug product. We expect to continue to spend substantial amounts to fund the continued development of the cabozantinib franchise for additional indications and of zanzalintinib and our other product candidates, as well as the commercialization of our approved products. In addition, we intend to continue to expand our oncology product pipeline through our drug discovery efforts, including research collaborations, in-licensing arrangements and other strategic transactions that align with our oncology drug development, regulatory and commercial expertise, which efforts could involve substantial costs. To offset these costs in the future, we will need to generate substantial revenues. If these costs exceed our current expectations, or we fail to achieve anticipated revenue targets, our profitability and financial condition may be adversely affected and the market value of our common stock may decline.

***Risks related to recent U.S. tariff announcements***

The U.S. government has made and continues to make significant additional changes in U.S. trade policy and may continue to take future actions that could negatively impact U.S. trade. For example, the United States has announced tariffs on many goods imported from specified nations. In addition, there are currently discussions concerning potential increased tariffs for pharmaceutical products, which may impact our supply chain and create uncertainty in the broader pharmaceutical industry. While certain tariffs have been suspended, modified or temporarily reduced, we cannot predict the results of the U.S. government's trade negotiations or the outcome of ongoing legal challenges to specific tariff policies. Changes in U.S. trade policy, including recently announced tariffs, related to countries where we or our suppliers operate could result in increased costs for raw materials, components, or finished goods for us, or challenges for our third-party contract manufacturers, distributors and suppliers to continue to meet demands for our products at current prices. These cost increases may reduce our margins, require us to raise prices, or make our products less competitive in the marketplace. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on U.S. exports could adversely impact demand for our products in international markets or increase the costs of conducting business. If we are unable to mitigate these risks through supply chain adjustments, pricing strategies, or other measures, our financial performance and growth prospects could be negatively affected.

**Risks Related to Our Relationships with Third Parties**

***We rely on Ipsen and Takeda for the commercial success of CABOMETYX in its approved indications outside of the U.S., and we are unable to control the amount or timing of resources expended by these collaboration partners in the commercialization of CABOMETYX in its approved indications outside of the U.S.***

We rely upon the regulatory, commercial, medical affairs, market access and other expertise and resources of our collaboration partners, Ipsen and Takeda, for commercialization of CABOMETYX in their respective territories outside of the U.S. We cannot control the amount and timing of resources that our collaboration partners dedicate to the commercialization of CABOMETYX, or to its marketing and distribution, and our ability to generate revenues from the commercialization of CABOMETYX by our collaboration partners depends on their ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for, achieve market acceptance of, and to otherwise effectively market, CABOMETYX in its approved indications in their respective territories. If our collaboration partners are unable or unwilling to invest the resources necessary to commercialize CABOMETYX successfully in the EU, Japan, and other international territories where it has been approved, this could reduce the amount of revenue we are due to receive under these collaboration agreements, thus resulting in harm to our business and operations.

***Our clinical, regulatory and commercial collaborations with major companies make us reliant on those companies for their continued performance and investments, which subjects us to a number of risks.***

We have established clinical and commercial collaborations with leading biopharmaceutical companies for the development and commercialization of our products, and our dependence on these collaboration partners subjects us to a number of risks, including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our collaboration partners' decision to terminate our collaboration, or their failure to comply with the terms of our collaboration agreements and related ancillary agreements, either intentionally or as a result of negligence or other insufficient performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our inability to control the amount and timing of resources that our collaboration partners devote to the development or commercialization of our products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possibility that our collaboration partners may stop or delay clinical trials, fail to supply us on a timely basis with product required for a combination trial, or deliver product that fails to meet appropriate quality and regulatory standards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disputes that may arise between us and our collaboration partners that result in the delay or termination of the development or commercialization of our products or product candidates, or that diminish or delay receipt of the economic benefits we are entitled to receive under the collaboration, or that result in costly litigation or arbitration;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possibility that our collaboration partners may experience financial difficulties that prevent them from fulfilling their obligations under our agreements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our collaboration partners' inability to obtain regulatory approvals in a timely manner, or at all;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our collaboration partners' failure to comply with legal and regulatory requirements relevant to the authorization, marketing, distribution and supply of our marketed products in the territories outside the U.S. where they are approved; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our collaboration partners' failure to properly maintain or defend our intellectual property rights or their use of our intellectual property rights or proprietary information in such a way as to invite litigation that could jeopardize or invalidate our intellectual property rights or expose us to potential litigation.

If any of these risks materialize, we may not receive collaboration revenues or otherwise realize anticipated benefits from such collaborations, and our product development efforts and prospects for growth could be delayed or disrupted, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Our growth potential is dependent in part upon companies with which we have entered into research collaborations, in-licensing arrangements and similar business development relationships.***

To expand our early-stage product pipeline, we have augmented our drug discovery activities with multiple research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements with other companies. Our dependence on our relationships with these research and in-licensing partners subjects us to numerous risks, including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our research and in-licensing partners' decision to terminate our relationship, or their failure to comply with the terms of our agreements, either intentionally or as a result of negligent performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disputes that may arise between us and our research and in-licensing partners that result in the delay or termination of research and development activities with respect to any in-licensed assets or supporting technology platforms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possibility that our research and in-licensing partners may experience financial difficulties that prevent them from fulfilling their obligations under our agreements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our research and in-licensing partners' failure to retain essential staff, which is crucial for fulfilling their obligations under our agreements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possibility that our research and in-licensing partners' technology may be superseded or otherwise no longer be competitive;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possibility that our research and in-licensing partners may be acquired, and that any acquiring entity may not honor our partners' research commitments or otherwise fail to continue fulfilling their obligations under our agreements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our research and in-licensing partners' failure to properly maintain or defend their intellectual property rights or their use of third-party intellectual property rights or proprietary information in such a way as to invite litigation that could jeopardize or invalidate our license to develop these assets or utilize technology platforms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• laws, regulations or practices imposed by countries or regions outside the U.S. that could impact or inhibit scientific research or the development of healthcare products by foreign competitors or otherwise disadvantage healthcare products made by foreign competitors, as well as general political or economic instability or downturn in those countries, including as a result of tariffs or the imposition of new tariffs, trade wars, barriers, restrictions, or threats of such actions and the related uncertainty thereof, any of which could complicate, interfere with or impede our relationships with our ex-U.S. research, development and in-licensing partners; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our research and in-licensing partners' failure to comply with applicable healthcare laws, as well as established laws and regulations related to Good Practice guidelines.

If any of these risks materialize, we may not be able to expand our product pipeline or otherwise realize a return on the resources we will have invested to develop these early-stage assets, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and prospects for growth.

***If third parties, upon which we rely to perform clinical trials for cabozantinib in new indications and for other new product candidates, do not perform as contractually required or expected, additional regulatory approvals may be delayed or may not be possible.***

We do not have the ability to conduct clinical trials for cabozantinib or for new potential product candidates independently, so we rely on independent third parties for the performance of these trials, such as the U.S. federal government, third-party contract research organizations, medical institutions, clinical investigators and contract laboratories to conduct our clinical trials. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or regulatory obligations or meet expected deadlines, or if the third parties must be replaced or if the quality or accuracy of

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

the data they generate or provide is compromised due to their failure to adhere to our clinical trial or data security protocols or regulatory requirements or for other reasons, our preclinical development activities or clinical trials may be extended, delayed, suspended or terminated, and we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize cabozantinib beyond currently approved indications or obtain regulatory approval for zanzalintinib or our other product candidates. In addition, due to the complexity of our research initiatives, we may be unable to engage with third-party contract research organizations that have the necessary experience and sophistication to help advance our drug discovery efforts, which would impede our ability to identify, develop and commercialize our potential product candidates.

***If third-party advisors we rely on to assist with our drug discovery and development efforts do not perform as expected, the expansion of our product pipeline may be delayed.***

We work with scientific advisors at academic and other institutions, as well as third-party contractors in various locations throughout the world, who assist us in our research and development efforts, including in drug discovery and preclinical development strategy. These third parties are not our employees and may have other commitments or contractual obligations that limit their availability to us. Although these third-party scientific advisors and contractors generally agree not to do competing work, if a conflict of interest between their work for us and their work for another entity arises, we may lose their services. There has also been scrutiny surrounding the disclosures of payments made to medical researchers from companies in the pharmaceutical industry, and it is possible that the academic and other institutions that employ these medical researchers may prevent us from engaging them as scientific advisors and contractors or otherwise limit our access to these experts, or that the scientific advisors themselves may now be more reluctant to work with industry partners. Even if these scientific advisors and contractors with whom we have engaged intend to meet their contractual obligations, their ability to perform services may be impacted by increased demand for such services from other companies or by other external factors, such as reduced capacity to perform services. If we experience additional delays in the receipt of services, lose work performed by these scientific advisors and contractors or are unable to engage them in the first place, our discovery and development efforts with respect to the matters on which they were working or would work in the future may be significantly delayed or otherwise adversely affected.

***We lack our own manufacturing and distribution capabilities necessary for us to produce materials required for certain preclinical activities and to produce and distribute our products for clinical development or for commercial sale, and our reliance on third parties for these services subjects us to various risks.***

We do not operate our own manufacturing or distribution facilities for CMC development activities, clinical or commercial production and distribution for our current products and new product candidates. Instead, we mostly rely on various third-party contract manufacturing organizations to conduct these operations on our behalf in accordance with cGMP. As our operations continue to grow in these areas, we are expanding internal CMC development laboratories to include preclinical, and continue to augment our external network focusing on our product candidates. We expect this to enable us to maximize application of our internal expertise and scientific know-how and advance our product candidates more efficiently and with greater technical precision, speed, agility and quality, while working in close collaboration with our expanding external manufacturing and supply chain network through additional third-party contract manufacturers, distributors and suppliers. To establish and manage our manufacturing network and supply chain requires a significant financial commitment, the creation of numerous third-party contractual relationships and continued oversight of these third parties to fulfill compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including the FDA's cGMP, the EC's Guidelines on GDP, as well as other stringent regulatory requirements enforced by the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies, as applicable. These third parties are also subject to routine inspections by the FDA and foreign regulatory agencies. Although we maintain significant resources to directly and effectively oversee the activities and relationships with the third parties in our network, we do not have direct control over their operations.

Our third-party contract manufacturers may not be able to produce or deliver material on a timely basis or manufacture material with the required quality standards, or in the quantity required to meet our preclinical, clinical development and commercial needs and applicable regulatory requirements. Although we have not yet experienced significant production delays or seen significant impairment to our supply chain as a result of the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, the political, economic and social instability in Venezuela or other global events, including as a result of tariffs or the imposition of new tariffs, trade wars, barriers, restrictions, or threats of such actions and the related uncertainty thereof, our third-party contract manufacturers, distributors and suppliers could experience operational delays due to lack of capacity or resources, facility closures and other hardships as a result of these types of global events, which could impact our supply chain by potentially causing delays to or disruptions in the supply of our preclinical, clinical or commercial products. If our third-party contract manufacturers, distributors and suppliers do not continue to supply us with our products or product candidates in a timely fashion and in compliance with applicable quality

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

and regulatory requirements, or if they otherwise fail or refuse to comply with their obligations to us under our manufacturing, distribution and supply arrangements, we may not have adequate remedies for any breach. Furthermore, their failure to supply us could impair or preclude meeting commercial or clinical product supply requirements for us or our partners, which could delay product development and future commercialization efforts and have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, through our third-party contract manufacturers and data service providers, we continue to provide serialized commercial products as required to comply with the DSCSA and its foreign equivalents where applicable. If our third-party contract manufacturers or data service providers fail to support our efforts to continue to comply with DSCSA and its foreign equivalents, as well as any future electronic pedigree requirements, we may face legal penalties or be restricted from selling our products.

**Risks Related to Healthcare Regulatory and Other Legal Compliance Matters**

***We are subject to healthcare laws, regulations and enforcement; our failure to comply with those laws could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

We are subject to federal and state healthcare laws and regulations, which laws and regulations are enforced by the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. We also conduct clinical trial activities outside the United States and are therefore subject to applicable laws in the countries where those operations take place. Should our compliance controls prove ineffective at preventing or mitigating the risk and impact of improper business conduct or inaccurate reporting, we could be subject to enforcement of the following, including, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the federal AKS;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• federal Civil Monetary Penalties law, including the beneficiary inducement provisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Eliminating Kickbacks in Recovery Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the FDCA and its implementing regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• federal civil and criminal false claims laws, including the civil False Claims Act, and the Civil Monetary Penalties Law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• federal criminal laws that prohibit executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program or making false statements relating to healthcare matters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the HIPAA and its implementing regulation, as amended;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• state law equivalents of each of the above federal laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• state laws concerning contract pharmacy arrangements and related obligations of drug manufacturers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• state and local laws and regulations that require drug manufacturers to file reports relating to marketing activities, payments and other remuneration and items of value provided to healthcare professionals and entities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• state and federal pharmaceutical price and price reporting laws and regulations, including the provisions enacted through the IRA;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• European countries' national laws mandating public disclosure of transfers of value to healthcare professionals, healthcare organizations and other entities active in the healthcare sector, as well as requirements for prior review and/or approval of agreements with healthcare professionals; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• laws and regulations in effect in foreign jurisdictions where drug manufacturers, or third party entities operating on behalf of drug manufacturers (including clinical research organizations), are conducting clinical trial activities.

In addition, we are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a U.S. law which regulates certain financial relationships with foreign government officials (which could include, for example, medical professionals employed by national healthcare programs) and its foreign equivalents, as well as federal and state consumer protection and unfair competition laws.

These federal and state healthcare laws and regulations govern prescription drug marketing practices, including off-label promotion and direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertisements. These laws and regulations may also affect our current and future business arrangements with third parties, including various healthcare entities. If our operations are found, or even alleged, to be in violation of the laws described above or other governmental regulations that apply to us, we, or our officers or employees, may be subject to significant penalties, including administrative civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, regulatory penalties, the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs, imprisonment, reputational harm, additional reporting requirements and oversight through a Corporate Integrity Agreement or other monitoring agreement, any of which would

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

adversely affect our ability to sell our products and operate our business and also adversely affect our financial results. Furthermore, responding to any such allegation or investigation and/or defending against any such enforcement actions can be time-consuming and would require significant financial and personnel resources. Therefore, if any state or the federal government initiates an enforcement action against us, our business may be impaired, and even if we are ultimately successful in our defense, litigating these actions could result in substantial costs and divert the attention of management.

To help patients afford our products, we have a patient assistance program and also make periodic donations to independent charitable foundations that help financially needy patients. These types of programs are designed to provide financial assistance to patients who might otherwise be unable to afford pharmaceuticals that they have been prescribed by their physicians and have become the subject of Congressional interest and enhanced government scrutiny. The HHS Office of Inspector General established guidelines permitting pharmaceutical manufacturers to make donations to charitable organizations that provide co-pay assistance to Medicare patients, provided that manufacturers meet certain specified compliance requirements. In the event we are found not to have complied with these guidelines (including as interpreted by the HHS Office of Inspector General) and other laws or regulations respecting these arrangements, we could be subject to significant investigations or damages, fines, penalties or other criminal, civil or administrative sanctions or enforcement actions.

We also rely on a third-party hub provider and exercise oversight to monitor patient assistance program activities. Hub providers are generally hired by manufacturers to assist patients with insurance coverage, financial assistance and treatment support after the patients receive a prescription from their healthcare professional. For manufacturers of specialty pharmaceuticals (including our marketed products), the ability to have a single point of contact for their therapies helps ensure efficient medication distribution to patients. Accordingly, our hub activities are also subject to scrutiny and may create risk for us if not conducted in accordance with the views of federal or state enforcement authorities. A variety of entities, including independent charitable foundations and pharmaceutical manufacturers, but not including our company, have received subpoenas in recent years from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and other enforcement authorities seeking information related to their patient assistance programs and reimbursement and other product support programs, and certain of these entities have entered into costly civil settlement agreements with DOJ and other enforcement authorities that include requirements to maintain complex corporate integrity agreements that impose significant reporting and other requirements. Should we or our hub providers receive a subpoena or other process, regardless of whether we are ultimately found to have complied with the prevailing industry guidance and enforcement standards governing patient assistance and other product support programs, this type of government investigation could negatively impact our business practices, harm our reputation, divert the attention of management and increase our expenses.

***We are subject to laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and the collection and processing of personal data. Failure to maintain compliance with these regulations could create additional liabilities for us.***

The legislative and regulatory landscape for privacy and data protection continues to evolve in the U.S. and other jurisdictions around the world. For example, the CCPA went into operation in 2020 and affords California residents expanded privacy rights and protections, including civil penalties for violations and statutory damages under a private right of action for data security breaches. These protections were expanded by the CPRA, which became effective in January 2023. A rapidly-growing number of privacy laws in other states may also impact our operations, including both comprehensive and sector-specific legislation, and Congress has also considered additional federal privacy legislation. In addition, most healthcare professionals and facilities are subject to privacy and security requirements under HIPAA with respect to our clinical and commercial activities. Although we are not considered to be a covered entity or business associate under HIPAA, we could be subject to penalties if we use or disclose individually identifiable health information in a manner not authorized or permitted by HIPAA. Other countries also have, or are developing, laws governing the collection, use and transmission of personal information. For example, in the EU, the GDPR regulates the processing of personal data of individuals within the EU, even if, under certain circumstances, that processing occurs outside the EU, and also places restrictions on transfers of such data to countries outside of the EU, including the U.S. Should we fail to provide adequate privacy or data security protections or maintain compliance with these laws and regulations, including the CCPA, as amended by the CPRA, as well as the GDPR, we could be subject to sanctions or other penalties, litigation, an increase in our cost of doing business and questions concerning the validity of our data processing activities, including clinical trials.

**Risks Related to Our Information Technology and Intellectual Property**

***Data breaches and other cybersecurity incidents impacting our information technology operations and infrastructure could compromise our intellectual property or other sensitive information, damage our operations and cause significant harm to our business and reputation.***

In the ordinary course of our business, we and our third-party service providers, such as contract research organizations, collect, maintain and transmit sensitive data on our networks and systems, including our intellectual property and proprietary or confidential business information (such as research data and personal information) and confidential information with respect to our customers, clinical trial patients and our collaboration partners. We outsource significant elements of our information technology infrastructure to third parties and, as a result, such third parties may or could have access to our confidential information. Additionally, we are vulnerable to data exfiltration, which is the loss of confidential and proprietary data in the event that persons with authorized access to our systems transfer our confidential and proprietary data outside our systems for their own use, evading our system safeguards and violating our policy restrictions on data transfer.

AI software is increasingly being used in the biopharmaceutical industry, including, in limited instances, by us. The misuse of AI-based software could result in inadvertent disclosure and improper use of confidential information (including personal and proprietary data) of our employees, clinical trial participants, or other third parties, leading to the loss of trade-secrets or other intellectual property. As with many developing technologies, AI also presents risks related to misuse by outside threat actors who may try to gain unauthorized access to our systems and information. The secure maintenance of this information is critical to our business and reputation, and while we have enhanced and are continuing to enhance our cybersecurity efforts commensurate with the growth and complexity of our business, our systems and those of third-party service providers may be vulnerable to cybersecurity incidents or threats. In addition, we are heavily dependent on the functioning of our information technology infrastructure to carry out our business processes, such as external and internal communications or access to clinical data and other key business information. Accordingly, both inadvertent disruptions to this infrastructure and/or cyber-attacks could cause us to incur significant remediation or litigation costs, result in product development delays, disrupt critical business operations, expend key information technology resources and divert the attention of management.

Although the aggregate impact of cybersecurity incidents and threats, including cyber-attacks and data exfiltration, on our operations and financial condition has not been material to date, we and our third-party service providers have frequently been the target of threats of this nature and expect them to continue. Any future data breach and/or unauthorized access or disclosure of our information or intellectual property could compromise our intellectual property and expose our sensitive business information or sensitive business information of our collaboration partners, which may lead to significant liability for us. A data security breach could also lead to public exposure of personal information of our clinical trial patients, employees or others and result in harm to our reputation and business, compel us to comply with federal and/or state breach notification laws and foreign law equivalents, including the GDPR, subject us to investigations and mandatory corrective action, or otherwise subject us to liability under laws and regulations that protect the privacy and security of personal information, which could disrupt our business, result in increased costs or loss of revenue, and/or result in significant financial exposure. Furthermore, the costs of maintaining or upgrading our cybersecurity systems (including the recruitment and retention of experienced information technology professionals, who are in high demand) at the level necessary to keep up with our expanding operations and prevent against potential attacks or other cybersecurity incidents are increasing, and despite our best efforts, our network security and data recovery measures and those of our third-party service providers may still not be adequate to protect against such security breaches and disruptions, which could cause material harm to our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property, third parties may be able to use our technology, which could adversely affect our ability to compete in the market.***

Our success will depend in part upon our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of the intellectual property related to our technologies and products. The patent positions of biopharmaceutical companies, including our patent position, are generally uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. We will be able to protect our intellectual property rights from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that our technologies are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are effectively maintained as trade secrets. We will continue to apply for patents covering our technologies and products as, where and when we deem lawful and appropriate. However, these applications may be challenged or may fail to result in issued patents. Our issued patents have been and may in the future be challenged by third parties as invalid or unenforceable under U.S. or foreign laws, or they may be infringed by third

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

parties, and we are from time to time involved in the defense and enforcement of our patents or other intellectual property rights in a court of law, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office *inter partes* review or reexamination proceeding, foreign opposition proceeding or related legal and administrative proceeding in the U.S. and elsewhere. The costs of defending our patents or enforcing our proprietary rights in post-issuance administrative proceedings and litigation can be substantial and the outcome can be uncertain. An adverse outcome may allow third parties to use our intellectual property without a license and/or allow third parties to introduce generic and other competing products, any of which would negatively impact our business. Third parties may also attempt to invalidate or design around our patents, or assert that they are invalid or otherwise unenforceable, and seek to introduce generic versions of cabozantinib. For example, we received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from MSN, Teva, Cipla, Sun, and Biocon concerning the respective ANDAs that each had filed with the FDA seeking approval to market generic versions of CABOMETYX tablets. We have also received Paragraph IV certification notice letters from Azurity and Handa concerning the 505(b)(2) NDA that each has filed with the FDA seeking approval to market cabozantinib tablets and cabozantinib (in the form of cabozantinib lauryl sulfate) capsules, respectively. Because these 505(b)(2) products are for a different strength than CABOMETYX, we believe they will not be considered generic equivalents. However, should MSN, Teva, Cipla, Sun, Biocon, Azurity, Handa, or any other third parties receive FDA approval of an ANDA or a 505(b)(2) NDA with respect to cabozantinib, it is possible that such company or companies could introduce generic versions or otherwise competitor versions of our marketed products before our patents expire if they do not infringe our patents or if it is determined that our patents are invalid or unenforceable, and the resulting generic competition could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, because patent applications can take many years to issue, third parties may have pending applications, unknown to us, which may later result in issued patents that cover the production, manufacture, commercialization or use of our product candidates. Our existing patents and any future patents we obtain may not be sufficiently broad to prevent others from practicing our technologies or from developing competing products. They may also be negatively impacted by the decisions of foreign courts, which could limit the protection contemplated by the original regulatory approval and our ability to thwart the development of competing products that might otherwise have been determined to infringe our intellectual property rights. Furthermore, others may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or design around our patents. In addition, our patents may be challenged or invalidated or may fail to provide us with any competitive advantages, if, for example, others were the first to invent or to file patent applications for closely related inventions.

The laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S., and many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending such rights in foreign jurisdictions. Many countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third parties and many countries limit the enforceability of patents against government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, the patent owner may have limited remedies, which could materially diminish the value of the patent. Moreover, the Russian Federation has and may further limit protections on patents originating from certain countries (including the U.S.) in response to sanctions relating to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, and in general, the legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the aggressive enforcement of patent and other intellectual property protection, which makes it difficult to stop infringement. We also rely on trade secret protection for some of our confidential and proprietary information, and we are taking security measures to protect our proprietary information and trade secrets, particularly in light of recent instances of data loss and misappropriation of intellectual property in the biopharmaceutical industry. However, these measures may not provide adequate protection, and while we seek to protect our proprietary information by entering into confidentiality agreements with employees, partners and consultants, as well as maintain cybersecurity protocols within our information technology infrastructure, we cannot provide assurance that our proprietary information will not be disclosed, or that we can meaningfully protect our trade secrets. In addition, our competitors may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or may otherwise gain access to our trade secrets.

***Litigation or third-party claims of intellectual property infringement could require us to spend substantial time and money and adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize products.***

Our commercial success depends in part upon our ability to avoid infringing patents and proprietary rights of third parties and not to breach any licenses that we have entered into with regard to our technologies and the technologies of third parties. Other parties have filed, and in the future are likely to file, patent applications covering products and technologies that we have developed or intend to develop. If patents covering technologies required by our operations are issued to others, we may have to obtain licenses from third parties, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and may require us to pay substantial royalties, grant a cross-license to some of our patents to another patent holder or redesign the formulation of a product candidate so that we do not infringe third-party patents, which may

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

be impossible to accomplish or could require substantial time and expense. In addition, we may be subject to claims that our employees or independent contractors have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of their former employers, or that they used or sought to use patent inventions belonging to their former employers. Furthermore, third parties may obtain patents that relate to our technologies and claim that use of such technologies infringes on their patents or otherwise employs their proprietary technology without authorization. Regardless of their merit, such claims could require us to incur substantial costs and divert the attention of management and key technical personnel in defending ourselves against any such claims or enforcing our own patents. In the event of any third party's successful claim of patent infringement or misappropriation of trade secrets, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel, which could impede or prevent the achievement of our product development goals, or we may be required to pay damages and obtain one or more licenses from these third parties, subjecting us to substantial royalty payment obligations. We may not be able to obtain these licenses on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Defense of any lawsuit or failure to obtain any of these licenses could adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize products.

**Risks Related to Our Operations, Managing Our Growth and Employee Matters**

***If we are unable to manage our human capital needs, there could be a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and our prospects may be adversely affected***.

As we continue to grow our pipeline of product candidates, our clinical development organization and related functions may grow, which may place significant demands on our management and resources, and our current and planned personnel and operating practices may not be adequate to support such growth. To effectively manage our evolving human capital needs, we must continue to improve existing, and when necessary, implement new facilities, operational and financial systems, and procedures and controls, as well as train and manage our employee base, and there can be no assurance that we can do so effectively or avoid experiencing operating inefficiencies or control deficiencies. We continue to rely on our management personnel to oversee our operations, and retaining and recruiting qualified individuals is difficult. If we are unable to manage our human capital needs effectively, or if we are unsuccessful in retaining or recruiting qualified management personnel, there could be a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***The loss of key personnel or the inability to retain or attract additional personnel could impair our ability to operate successfully.***

We are highly dependent upon the principal members of our management, as well as clinical, commercial and scientific staff, the loss of whose services might adversely impact the achievement of our objectives. Also, we may not have sufficient personnel to execute our business plans. Retaining and, where necessary, recruiting qualified clinical, commercial, scientific and pharmaceutical operations personnel will be critical to support activities related to advancing the development programs for the cabozantinib franchise, zanzalintinib and our other product candidates, successfully executing upon our commercialization plan for the cabozantinib franchise and continuing our proprietary research and development efforts. Competition is intense for experienced clinical, commercial, scientific and pharmaceutical operations personnel, and we may be unable to retain or recruit such personnel with the expertise or experience necessary to allow us to successfully develop and commercialize our products. Furthermore, the majority of our employees are employed "at will" and, therefore, may leave our employment at any time.

**Risks Related to Environmental and Product Liability**

***We use hazardous chemicals and biological materials in our business. Any claims relating to improper handling, storage or disposal of these materials could be time consuming and costly.***

Our research and development processes involve the controlled use of hazardous materials, including chemicals and biological materials, and our operations can produce hazardous waste products. We cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or discharge, or any resultant injury from these materials, and we may face liability under applicable laws for any injury or contamination that results from our use or the use by our collaboration partners or other third parties of these materials. Such liability may exceed our insurance coverage and our total assets, and in addition, we may be required to indemnify our collaboration partners against all damages and other liabilities arising out of our development activities or products produced in connection with our collaborations with them. Moreover, our continued compliance with environmental laws and regulations may be expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

***We face potential product liability exposure far in excess of our limited insurance coverage.***

We may be held liable if any product we or our collaboration partners develop or commercialize causes injury or is found otherwise unsuitable during product testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, product liability claims could result in decreased demand for our products and product candidates, injury to our reputation, withdrawal of patients from our clinical trials, product recall, substantial monetary awards to third parties and the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop in the future. We maintain limited product liability insurance coverage for our clinical trials and commercial activities. However, our insurance may not be sufficient to reimburse us for expenses or losses we may suffer. Moreover, if insurance coverage becomes more expensive, we may not be able to maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or in sufficient amounts to protect us against losses due to liability.

**Risks Related to Our Common Stock**

***Our stock price has been and may in the future be highly volatile.***

The trading price of our common stock has been highly volatile, and it may remain highly volatile or fluctuate substantially due to factors such as the following, many of which we cannot control:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the announcement of FDA or other regulatory approval or non-approval, or delays in the FDA or other regulatory review process with respect to cabozantinib, zanzalintinib or our other product candidates, our collaboration partners' product candidates being developed in combination with either cabozantinib, zanzalintinib or our other product candidates, or our competitors' product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the commercial performance of both CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ and the revenues we generate from those approved products, including royalties paid under our collaboration and license agreements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse or inconclusive results or announcements related to our or our collaboration partners' clinical trials or delays in those clinical trials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the timing of achievement of our clinical, regulatory, partnering, commercial and other milestones for the cabozantinib franchise, zanzalintinib or any of our other product candidates or programs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to make future investments in the expansion of our pipeline through drug discovery, including future research collaborations, in-licensing arrangements and other strategic transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to obtain the materials and services, including an adequate product supply for any approved drug product, from our third-party vendors or do so at acceptable prices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the timing and amount of expenses incurred for clinical development and manufacturing of cabozantinib, zanzalintinib and our other product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actions taken by regulatory agencies, both in the U.S. and abroad, with respect to cabozantinib or our clinical trials for zanzalintinib or our other product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unanticipated regulatory actions taken by the FDA as a result of changing FDA standards and practices concerning the review of product candidates, including approvals at earlier stages of clinical development or with lesser developed data sets and expedited reviews;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the announcement of new products or clinical trial data by our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the announcement of regulatory applications, such as MSN's, Teva's, Cipla's, Biocon's and Sun's respective ANDAs, seeking approval of generic versions of our marketed products, and Azurity's and Handa's 505(b)(2) NDAs seeking approval of a different solid formulation or salt of cabozantinib;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• quarterly variations in our or our competitors' results of operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in our relationships with our collaboration partners, including the termination or modification of our agreements, or other events or conflicts that may affect our collaboration partners' timing and willingness to develop, or if approved, commercialize our products and product candidates out-licensed to them;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the announcement of an in-licensed product candidate or strategic acquisition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• litigation, including intellectual property infringement and product liability lawsuits, involving us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts, or financial guidance from our management team, and any failure to achieve the operating results projected by securities analysts or by our management team;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the entry into new financing arrangements;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• developments in the biopharmaceutical industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sales of large blocks of our common stock or sales of our common stock by our executive officers, directors and significant stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the announcement of a repurchase of our common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• additions and departures of key personnel or board members;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the disposition of any of our technologies or compounds; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• general market, macroeconomic and political conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors.

These and other factors could have a material adverse impact on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the stock markets in general, and the markets for biotechnology and pharmaceutical stocks in particular, have historically experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility that has often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. Likewise, as a result of significant changes in U.S. or global political and macroeconomic conditions, including the potential for local and/or global economic downturn or recession, inflation, fluctuating interest rates, as well as policies governing foreign trade, including tariffs or the imposition of new tariffs, trade wars, barriers, restrictions, or threats of such actions and the related uncertainty thereof, and healthcare spending and delivery, the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, or the political, economic and social instability in Venezuela, the financial markets could continue to experience significant volatility that could also continue to negatively impact the markets for biotechnology and pharmaceutical stocks. These broad market fluctuations have adversely affected and may in the future adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. Excessive volatility may continue for an extended period of time following the date of this report.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been initiated. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial costs and divert the attention of management, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent or deter attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.***

Provisions in our corporate charter and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent an acquisition of us, a change in control, or attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove members of our current Board of Directors. Because our Board of Directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could in turn affect any attempt by our stockholders to replace current members of our management team. These provisions include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a prohibition on actions by our stockholders by written consent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could be used to institute a "poison pill" that would work to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer, effectively preventing acquisitions that have not been approved by our Board of Directors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• advance notice requirements for director nominations and stockholder proposals.

Moreover, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a person who owns in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with us for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person acquired in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock, unless the merger or combination is approved in a prescribed manner.

***Our disclosures related to environmental, social and governance matters subjects us to risks, including risks to our market perception and stock price.***

The focus of governments, investors and other stakeholders on environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices and disclosures is constantly shifting and expectations in this area continue to evolve. Various jurisdictions are adopting or considering new laws and regulations that expand or curtail disclosure, reporting and diligence requirements with respect to ESG topics, including California legislation that requires various climate-related disclosures. We manage, track and report on our ESG initiatives, including in our Corporate Values & Sustainability Report or as may be required in our annual and quarterly reports. Our efforts to accomplish and report on these topics subjects us to risks, any of which

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

could have a material adverse impact on our business, including specifically market perception and the market price of our common stock. Such risks may be outside of our control and the criteria by which our ESG practices and disclosures are assessed may change due to the evolving regulatory requirements affecting ESG standards and disclosures, which could result in changed expectations for us with respect to ESG matters (including those in support of or in opposition to ESG principles). In addition, state attorneys general and other governmental authorities may take action against certain ESG policies or practices, and we may become subject to restrictions on ESG initiatives. Our failure or perceived failure to pursue or achieve our ESG objectives, or to maintain our ESG practices that meet evolving stakeholder expectations or expanding legal requirements (which are continually evolving and may emphasize different priorities than the ones we focus on or none at all), could have a material adverse impact on our market perception and stock price, as well as expose us to government enforcement actions and private litigation.

**Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.**

None.

**Item 1C. Cybersecurity.**

**Risk Management and Strategy**

We maintain cybersecurity and information security programs, which focus on securing our digital ecosystem, through policies and procedures, technical controls and human practices. Risks from cybersecurity threats are regularly evaluated as part of our broader risk management activities and as a fundamental component of our internal control system. The scope of our evaluation encompasses risks that may be associated with both our internally managed IT systems and key business functions and sensitive data operated or managed by third-party service providers.

All employees receive cybersecurity training upon hire with annual or more frequent training thereafter, with job-specific topic considerations. Our IT team engages third-party vendors to assist with providing timely cybersecurity threat alerts in addition to monitoring cybersecurity threats and our defenses against cyberattacks. This monitoring includes the proactive identification of vulnerabilities in our systems with threat intelligence. The employees within our broader IT team who specialize in cybersecurity operations (Security Ops Team) are responsible for coordinating and overseeing the activities of these third-party vendors.

Our Information Security Incident Response Plan (Response Plan) sets forth our response protocol for cybersecurity threats and cybersecurity incidents and is maintained by the Information Security Governance Committee (InfoSec Committee), which reviews the Response Plan on an annual basis. The InfoSec Committee is comprised of IT department leaders and members of our senior management team and is a subcommittee of our Ethics Committee, which provides reports to the Risk Committee of our Board of Directors. Our Response Plan is designed to provide a framework for how we identify, escalate and respond in the event of a data security breach and designates personnel who are responsible for these functions. Our Security Ops Team evaluates security alerts received from various sources, and any alert or threat that the Security Ops Team identifies as a cybersecurity incident (such as a data security breach) is promptly escalated to the InfoSec Committee for further assessment. Upon confirmation that a cybersecurity incident has occurred, our InfoSec Committee will establish an incident response team, which may include representatives from our internal departments, as well as outside legal counsel or other external cybersecurity consultants or service providers. The Incident Response Team develops a coordinated response strategy, entailing risk containment, notification processes, system restoration, incident documentation and assessment, data preservation and forensic analysis.

The InfoSec Committee evaluates the implications of cybersecurity incidents to determine whether such incidents have had or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our business strategy, financial condition, and results of operations. If a cybersecurity incident is deemed material by our InfoSec Committee, our Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel will notify the other members of our senior management team and the Chair of the Risk Committee of our Board of Directors as needed.

Cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have not materially affected and we believe are not reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. We and our third-party service providers have frequently been the target of cybersecurity threats and expect them to continue, and for an additional description of these cybersecurity risks and potential related impacts on us, see "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Governance**

*Board of Directors and Board Committees.* In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board of Directors, both directly and through its committees (including the Risk Committee) oversees the proper functioning of our risk management process. In particular, the Risk Committee assists the Board in its oversight of management's responsibility to assess, manage and mitigate risks associated with the Company's business and operational activities and to administer the Company's various compliance programs, in each case including data privacy and cybersecurity concerns. The Board and the Risk Committee each meet at regularly scheduled and special meetings throughout the year at which meetings management reports to the Board concerning the results of its risk management activities, as well as external factors that may change the levels of business risk to which we are exposed. Specifically, the Risk Committee receives regular updates from members of the InfoSec Committee or Ethics Committee, as often as necessary but at least once per year, with respect to our cybersecurity threats and responses to any cybersecurity incidents.

*Management's Responsibilities.* Management has implemented risk management structures, policies and procedures, and manages our risk exposure on a day-to-day basis. Accordingly, management assesses and responds to cybersecurity threats as part of our ongoing risk assessment and as an internal control over financial reporting. Our Security Ops Team directs our cybersecurity operations and risk responses. Members of the Security Ops Team then meet with the InfoSec Committee at least once every quarter to review and assess cybersecurity incidents and non-incident threats (and response measures undertaken) to determine if any adjustment to our cybersecurity risk assessment is required. At least once every year, members of the Security Ops Team and the Senior Vice President of Information Technology present our cybersecurity risk evaluation and threat response to the Ethics Committee and to the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors as needed. The InfoSec Committee is a subcommittee comprised of IT department leaders and members of the senior management team, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer (who has oversight of our IT and cybersecurity activities), General Counsel (who has oversight of our compliance activities), and Senior Vice President of Information Technology (who has over 20 years of experience managing IT systems and personnel). The Security Ops Team reports to the Senior Vice President of Information Technology, as well as the broader InfoSec Committee. Members of the Security Ops team include IT professionals with extensive experience and education in technology and cybersecurity, and most have attained accreditation as Certified Information Systems Security Professionals, as granted by the International Information System Security Certification Consortium (also known as ISC2).

**Item 2. Properties.**

Our corporate headquarters is located in Alameda, California, where we lease approximately 610,000 square feet of office and laboratory space under multiple leases. In 2025, we exited approximately 40,000 square feet of our office and laboratory space in the Greater Philadelphia area as part of our 2024 corporate restructuring plan. We believe these leased facilities are sufficient to accommodate our current and near-term needs.

**Item 3. Legal Proceedings.**

The information required to be set forth under this Item 3 is incorporated by reference to "Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies – Legal Proceedings" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.**

Not applicable.

**PART II**

**Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.**

Our common stock has traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "EXEL" since April 11, 2000.

**Holders**

On February 2, 2026, there were 288 holders of record of our common stock. The number of record holders is based upon the actual number of holders registered on our books at such date and does not include holders of shares in

"street names" or persons, partnerships, associations, corporations or other entities identified in security position listings maintained by depository trust companies.

**Dividends**

Since inception, we have not paid dividends on our common stock. We currently do not plan to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

**Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities**

There were no unregistered sales of equity securities by us during the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Stock Repurchase Programs**

In August 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (SRP) to acquire up to $500.0 million of our outstanding common stock before December 31, 2025. In February 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $500.0 million of our outstanding common stock before December 31, 2025. In October 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $750.0 million of our common stock before December 31, 2026 (the October 2025 SRP). As of December 31, 2025, we have repurchased 30.2 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,159.7 million under these SRPs and have completed the SRPs authorized in August 2024 and February 2025. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $590.2 million remained available under the October 2025 SRP for future stock repurchases before December 31, 2026.

Stock repurchases under these SRPs may be made from time to time through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, in block trades, Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, accelerated share repurchase transactions, exchange transactions, or any combination of such methods. The timing and amount of any stock repurchases under the SRPs will be based on a variety of factors, including ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, alternative investment opportunities, the market price of our common stock and general market conditions. These SRPs do not obligate us to acquire any amount of our common stock, and the SRPs may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

The following table summarizes the stock repurchase activity for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and the approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased pursuant to our SRPs (in thousands, except per share data):

**Overview** 

We are an oncology company innovating next-generation medicines and regimens at the forefront of cancer care. We have produced four marketed pharmaceutical products, two of which are formulations of our flagship molecule, cabozantinib, and we are steadily advancing and evolving our product pipeline portfolio, including our lead clinical asset, zanzalintinib, currently under review by the FDA for the treatment of certain forms of CRC, as well as the focus of an extensive late-stage clinical development program in other indications. With a rational and disciplined approach to investment, we are leveraging our internal experience and expertise and the strength of strategic partnerships, to identify and pursue opportunities across the landscape of scientific modalities, including small molecules and biotherapeutics, such as ADCs.

Sales related to cabozantinib account for the majority of our revenues. Cabozantinib is an inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases, including MET, AXL, VEGF receptors and RET and has been approved by the FDA, and in 68 other countries for all or a combination of, the following indications: as CABOMETYX® (cabozantinib) tablets for advanced RCC (both alone and in combination with BMS' nivolumab (OPDIVO®)), previously treated HCC, previously treated, RAI-refractory DTC and previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic, well-differentiated pNET and epNET; and as COMETRIQ® (cabozantinib) capsules for progressive MTC. For physicians treating these types of cancer, cabozantinib has become or is becoming an important medicine in their selection of effective therapies.

The other two products resulting from our discovery efforts are: COTELLIC® (cobimetinib), an inhibitor of MEK, approved as part of multiple combination regimens to treat specific forms of advanced melanoma and marketed under a collaboration with Genentech (a member of the Roche Group); and MINNEBRO® (esaxerenone), an oral, non-steroidal, selective blocker of the mineralocorticoid receptor, approved for the treatment of hypertension in Japan and licensed to Daiichi Sankyo.

We plan to continue leveraging our operating cash flows to advance a broad array of diverse biotherapeutics and small molecule programs for the treatment of cancer, as well as to support company-sponsored and externally sponsored clinical trials evaluating cabozantinib and zanzalintinib, a novel oral inhibitor of kinases including the TAM kinases (TYRO3, AXL, MER), MET and VEGF receptors. Our zanzalintinib development program includes a series of ongoing and planned pivotal trials to explore its therapeutic potential in CRC, ccRCC and nccRCC, NET and meningioma, as well as earlier-stage trials. Our pipeline programs in phase 1 development each have best-in-class potential and include: XL309, a small molecule inhibitor of USP1, which has emerged as a synthetic lethal target in the context of BRCA-mutated tumors; XB010, an ADC consisting of a MMAE payload conjugated to a mAb targeting the tumor antigen 5T4; XB628, a first-in-class bispecific antibody that simultaneously targets PD-L1 and NKG2A, identified as key regulators of adaptive and innate immune cell activity; and XB371, a next-generation TF-targeting ADC with a topoisomerase inhibitor payload. We complement our internal drug discovery and development efforts by in-licensing or acquiring, or obtaining options to in-license or acquire, investigational oncology assets from third parties if those oncology assets demonstrate evidence of, or potential for, clinical success.

***Cabozantinib Franchise***

The FDA first approved CABOMETYX in the U.S. as a monotherapy for previously treated patients with advanced RCC in April 2016, and then for previously untreated patients with advanced RCC in December 2017. In January 2021, the CABOMETYX label was expanded to include first-line advanced RCC in combination with nivolumab, which was the first CABOMETYX regimen approved for treatment in combination with an ICI. In addition to RCC, in January 2019, the FDA approved CABOMETYX for the treatment of patients with HCC previously treated with sorafenib, and in September 2021, the FDA approved CABOMETYX for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with locally advanced or metastatic DTC that has progressed following prior VEGF receptor-targeted therapy and who are RAI-refractory or ineligible. In March 2025, the FDA approved CABOMETYX for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic, well-differentiated pNET and epNET.

The IRA introduced numerous substantial changes to drug pricing, reimbursement and access support in the U.S., including enabling the CMS to assert control over the prices of certain single-source drugs and biotherapeutics reimbursed under the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program. CMS has begun to announce rounds of drugs eligible for negotiation and establish so-called MFP under the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program. The IRA also contains the limited small biotech exception, which applies on a drug-specific basis, and provides that qualifying drugs will be exempt from possible pricing negotiation through 2028 and eligible for a lower limit (i.e., a price floor) on the potential MFP in 2029 and 2030, if the manufacturers of those drugs continue to qualify each year. We have qualified for the small biotech exception with

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

respect to our cabozantinib franchise products through IPAY 2027 and we reapplied for the small biotech exception for IPAY 2028. We also intend to apply to CMS to maintain our small biotech exception and price floor each subsequent year through 2030. Separately, in December 2024, CMS released final guidance on another program, the Part D Discount Program, which requires manufacturers to take on more of the beneficiary cost previously subsidized by the federal government through the application of increased drug discounts. We have since received notice from CMS that we qualify for the "specified small manufacturer" designation and are thereby eligible for a phase-in of the increased manufacturer discounts under the Part D Discount Program, from 2025 to 2031. In November 2025, CMS also issued a proposed rule on the Part D Discount Program that largely codifies the final guidance. The IRA also imposes additional rebates for certain Part B and Part D drugs where relevant pricing metrics associated with the products increase faster than inflation.

There have also been proposals from the current U.S. administration that aim to lower prescription drug costs, both through formal regulatory action and by encouraging voluntary compliance from manufacturers. These proposals include efforts to equalize the prices of drugs in the U.S. with the prices of those drugs in other developed countries (also known as MFN drug pricing policy), as well as efforts to sell prescription drugs directly to consumers. In 2025, an executive order issued by the White House directed HHS and other federal agencies to implement MFN pricing through new models and potential regulatory actions. CMS has announced a pilot program in this regard for the Medicaid Program, but the full scope, timing, and impact of these initiatives remain uncertain. Adoption of these and other controls and measures and tightening of restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existing controls and measures, could limit reimbursement of pharmaceuticals. As a result, the business case for any product that receives regulatory approval for commercial sale in the U.S. may suffer if the government and third-party payers fail to provide adequate coverage and reimbursement.

To develop and commercialize cabozantinib outside the U.S., we have entered into license agreements with Ipsen and Takeda. To Ipsen, we granted the rights to develop and commercialize cabozantinib outside of the U.S. and Japan, and to Takeda we granted such rights in Japan. Both Ipsen and Takeda also contribute financially and operationally to the further global development and commercialization of the cabozantinib franchise, and we work closely with them on these activities. Utilizing its regulatory expertise and established international oncology marketing network, Ipsen has continued to execute on its commercialization plans for CABOMETYX, having received regulatory approvals and launched in multiple territories outside of the U.S., including in the EEA, the U. K. and Canada, as a treatment for advanced RCC (both as a monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab) and for previously treated HCC and DTC indications. In July 2025, Ipsen received approval for CABOMETYX as a treatment for previously treated, well- differentiated/unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic pNET or epNET (with local labeling variations) from the EC for the EEA and health regulatory authorities in Brazil and Australia, and from health regulatory authorities in Switzerland and Singapore in October 2025 and December 2025, respectively. With respect to the Japanese market, Takeda received Manufacturing and Marketing Approvals from the Japanese PMDA for monotherapy CABOMETYX as a treatment of patients with curatively unresectable or metastatic RCC and as a treatment of patients with unresectable HCC that has progressed after cancer chemotherapy, as well as for CABOMETYX in combination with nivolumab as a treatment for unresectable or metastatic RCC.

***Pipeline Activities***

***Small Molecule Programs***

*Zanzalintinib*

Zanzalintinib is a novel oral inhibitor of kinases including the TAM kinases (TYRO3, AXL, MER), MET and VEGF receptors, which are implicated in cancer's growth and spread. We are evaluating zanzalintinib in a robust and growing development program that builds on our prior experience with cabozantinib and targets indications with high unmet need. We have established collaborations and will continue to explore additional opportunities for novel combinations with zanzalintinib. To date, we have initiated two large phase 1b/2 clinical trials studying zanzalintinib as a monotherapy and in combination with ICIs (STELLAR-001 and STELLAR-002). Patient enrollment into STELLAR-001 was completed in 2023 and preliminary results from a randomized expansion cohort of patients with metastatic CRC were presented at the ASCO GI 2025. In May 2025, preliminary results from an expansion cohort of patients with previously untreated advanced ccRCC from STELLAR-002 were presented at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting, along with data from multiple dose-escalation cohorts.

We also have three ongoing pivotal trials, two evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with ICIs and one evaluating zanzalintinib as a monotherapy. Our first such trial, STELLAR-303, was initiated in June 2022 and is evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with atezolizumab versus regorafenib in patients with metastatic, refractory non-MSI-H/dMMR CRC. In June 2025, we announced positive top-line results demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in OS versus regorafenib

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

in the ITT population, and in October 2025, announced that the study demonstrated a 20% reduction in the risk of death versus regorafenib in the ITT population at the final analysis (stratified hazard ratio [HR]: 0.80; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.69-0.93; P=0.0045). At a prespecified interim analysis, data pertaining to the other dual primary endpoint, OS in patients without liver metastases, showed a trend in OS favoring the combination (15.9 months versus 12.8 months; stratified HR: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.61-1.03; P=0.0875) at a median follow-up of 16.8 months. Detailed findings from the study, including OS and PFS in the ITT population and in the subset of patients without liver metastases, were presented at ESMO 2025 and simultaneously published in *The Lancet*. The trial will proceed to the planned final analysis for the dual primary endpoint of OS in patients without liver metastases, expected in mid-2026, depending on event rates. In December 2025, we submitted a NDA to the FDA for zanzalintinib in combination with atezolizumab for the treatment of previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer. In January 2026, we announced that the FDA had accepted our NDA and assigned a standard review, with a PDUFA target action date of December 3, 2026.

The second pivotal trial, STELLAR-304, was initiated in December 2022 and is evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with nivolumab versus sunitinib in previously untreated patients with advanced nccRCC. We expect top-line results in mid-2026, depending on event rates.

In June 2025, we initiated STELLAR-311, a phase 2/3 pivotal trial evaluating zanzalintinib versus everolimus in patients with advanced NET, regardless of site of origin, who had received up to one prior line of therapy. The primary endpoint of the trial is PFS per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by blinded independent central review. Enrollment is currently ongoing.

Beyond STELLAR-001, STELLAR-002, STELLAR-303, STELLAR-304 and STELLAR-311, we intend to initiate additional early-stage and pivotal trials evaluating zanzalintinib across a broad array of potential future indications, including: STELLAR-201, a planned, single-arm phase 2 study that will evaluate zanzalintinib in patients with Grade I/II/III meningioma with relapse or progression following surgery and radiation, or who are not candidates for radiation/surgery, anticipated to commence in the first half of 2026, and STELLAR-316, a planned phase 3 pivotal trial, in collaboration with Natera, which we anticipate will commence in mid-2026. STELLAR-316 will evaluate zanzalintinib, with and without an ICI, in patients with resected stage II/III CRC who, following completion of definitive therapy, have tested positive for MRD+ and have no radiographic evidence of disease. Natera will provide its Signatera™ assay to identify MRD+ for trial enrollment.

To further expand our exploration of the clinical potential of zanzalintinib, we entered into a clinical development collaboration with Merck. Pursuant to this collaboration, Merck is sponsoring KEYMAKER-U03 (a phase 1/2 trial evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with WELIREG® (belzutifan), Merck's oral HIF-2α inhibitor, in RCC), LITESPARK-033 (a phase 3 trial evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with WELIREG versus cabozantinib in first-line advanced RCC) and one additional phase 3 pivotal trial in RCC. Merck will fund one of these phase 3 studies and we will co-fund the phase 1/2 study and the other phase 3 study, as well as supply zanzalintinib and cabozantinib. Under the collaboration, we continue to retain all global commercial and marketing rights to zanzalintinib.

*Other Small Molecules*

The knowledge and experience gained through our efforts to discover cabozantinib, cobimetinib and esaxerenone, each of which were approved by regulatory authorities and are commercially distributed, informs our current strategy for discovering and developing additional small molecules with the potential to treat cancer, including XL309, a potentially best-in-class small molecule inhibitor of USP1, a synthetic lethal target in the context of BRCA-mutated tumors. XL309 is currently being evaluated in a phase 1 clinical trial as monotherapy and in combination with PARP1/2 inhibition in patients with advanced solid tumors and enrollment is ongoing. XL309 has potential in patients whose tumors are no longer responsive to PARPi, including ovarian, breast and prostate cancers. XL309 also has potential in combination with PARPi agents to deepen and prolong the response seen to PARPi, as well as to broaden the activity beyond that observed in patients with tumors that harbor a BRCA1/2 mutation.

Beyond these small molecule assets, we continue to make progress on multiple lead optimization programs for molecules that address a variety of targets, and that we believe have significant potential for clinical differentiation. We anticipate that some of these other programs could reach development candidate status in 2026 and beyond.

*Termination of STELLAR-305 trial and XL495 Development Program.*

In October 2024, we announced the initiation of a phase 1 clinical trial evaluating XL495, an inhibitor of PKMYT1, both as a monotherapy and in combination with select cytotoxic agents, in patients with advanced solid tumors. In May 2025, based on early clinical data generated for XL495, we announced that we will discontinue further development of this

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

program. In December 2023, we initiated STELLAR-305, a phase 2/3 pivotal trial evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with pembrolizumab, an anti-PD-1 ICI developed by Merck & Co., versus placebo in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with previously untreated PD-L1-positive recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Based on our evaluation of emerging data from the phase 2 portion of STELLAR-305, competition in this indication, and assessment of other, potentially larger, commercial opportunities, in July 2025 we announced that the study will not proceed to phase 3.

*Biotherapeutics* 

Part of our drug discovery activity focuses on discovering and advancing various biotherapeutics that have the potential to become anti-cancer therapies, such as bispecific antibodies, ADCs and other innovative treatments. ADCs in particular present a unique opportunity for new cancer treatments, given their capabilities to target the delivery of anti-cancer drug payloads to specific cells expressing the target; this increased precision should minimize collateral impact on healthy tissues that do not express the target. To facilitate the growth of our various biotherapeutics programs, we have established multiple research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements and entered into other strategic transactions, aimed at conserving capital and managing risks, that provide us with access to antibodies, binders, payloads and conjugation technologies, which are the components employed to generate next-generation ADCs or multispecific antibodies. We have also established laboratories for discovery of novel biologics with capabilities in antibody engineering, ADC chemistry, bioanalysis and preclinical testing.

As part of our strategy to access clinical- or near-clinical-stage assets, we executed an exclusive option and license agreement and clinical development collaboration with Sairopa to develop ADU-1805. ADU-1805 is currently being evaluated in a phase 1 clinical trial in patients with advanced or metastatic refractory solid tumors, as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab. Enrollment is ongoing. In addition to the option deal with Sairopa, some of our active collaborations for biotherapeutics programs are with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adagene, which is focused on using Adagene's SAFEbody<sup>TM</sup> technology to develop novel masked ADCs or other innovative biotherapeutics with potential for improved therapeutic index;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Catalent, which is focused on the discovery and development of multiple ADCs using Catalent's proprietary SMARTag® site-specific bioconjugation technology; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Invenra, which is focused on the discovery and development of novel binders and multispecific antibodies for the treatment of cancer.

We have made significant progress under our research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements and believe we will continue to do so in 2026 and in future years. For example, in April 2025, we initiated the phase 1 study of XB628, a first-in-class bispecific antibody discovered, in part, in collaboration with Invenra, and in August 2025, we initiated a phase 1 study of XB371, a next-generation tissue factor-targeting ADC with a topoisomerase inhibitor payload, which was discovered, in part, in collaboration with Catalent. As part of our rational and disciplined approach to investment, we have decided to discontinue further development of the XB064 and XB033 programs.

Beyond these biotherapeutics assets, we continue to make progress on multiple preclinical programs for molecules that address a variety of targets, and that we believe have significant potential for clinical differentiation. We anticipate that some of these other programs could reach development candidate status in 2026 and beyond.

*Future Expansion of our Pipeline*

Increasing the number of novel anti-cancer agents in our pipeline is essential to our overall strategy and business goals. We are working to expand our oncology product pipeline through drug discovery efforts, which encompass our diverse biotherapeutics and small molecule programs exploring multiple modalities and mechanisms of action. This approach provides a high degree of flexibility with respect to target selection and modality of treatment and allows us to prioritize those targets that we believe have the greatest chance of becoming impactful therapeutics. As part of our strategy, our drug discovery activities have and will continue to include internal research, as well as external research collaborations, in-licensing arrangements and other strategic transactions that collectively leverage a wide range of technology platforms and assets and increase our probability of success. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we expect to progress up to two new development candidates into preclinical development during 2026. We will continue to engage in pipeline expansion initiatives with the goal of discovering, acquiring and/or in-licensing promising investigational oncology assets and then further characterize and develop them utilizing our established preclinical and clinical development infrastructure.

See *"Results of Operations"* below for a discussion of the detailed components and analysis of the amounts above.

**Outlook, Challenges and Risks**

We will continue to face numerous challenges and risks that may impact our ability to execute on our business objectives. In particular, for the foreseeable future, we expect our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to fund our business operations and growth will depend upon the continued commercial success of CABOMETYX, both alone and in combination with other therapies, as a treatment for the highly competitive indications for which it is approved. In addition, CABOMETYX will only continue to be commercially successful if private third-party and government payers continue to provide coverage and reimbursement. As is the case for all innovative pharmaceutical therapies, obtaining and maintaining coverage and reimbursement for CABOMETYX is becoming increasingly difficult, both within the U.S. and in foreign markets. Further, healthcare policymakers in the U.S. continue to express concern over healthcare costs, and corresponding legislative and policy initiatives and activities have been launched aimed at increasing the healthcare cost burdens borne by pharmaceutical manufacturers, as well as expanding access to, and restricting the prices and growth in prices of, pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, the current U.S. administration has suggested that it may impose tariffs on imported pharmaceuticals.

Achievement of our business objectives will also depend on our ability to maintain a competitive position in the shifting landscape of therapeutic strategies for the treatment of cancer, which we may not be able to do. On an ongoing basis, we assess the constantly evolving landscape of other approved and investigational cancer therapies that could be competitive, or complementary in combination, with our products, and then we adapt our development strategies for the cabozantinib franchise and our pipeline product candidates accordingly, such as by modifying our clinical trials to include evaluation of our therapies with ICIs and other targeted agents. Even if our current and future clinical trials produce positive results sufficient to obtain marketing approval by the FDA and other global regulatory authorities, it is uncertain whether physicians will choose to prescribe regimens containing our products instead of competing products and product combinations in approved indications.

In the longer term, we may eventually face competition from potential manufacturers of generic or follow-on versions of our marketed products, including the proposed generic versions of CABOMETYX tablets that are the subject of ANDAs submitted to the FDA by MSN, Teva, Cipla, Biocon and Sun, as well as the 505(b)(2) for cabozantinib capsules submitted by Handa, or the 505(b)(2) for cabozantinib tablets submitted to the FDA by Azurity. The approval of any of these follow-on products and their subsequent launch could significantly decrease our revenues derived from the U.S. sales of CABOMETYX and thereby materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Separately, our research and development objectives may be impeded by the challenges of scaling our organization to meet the demands of expanded drug development, unanticipated delays in clinical testing and the inherent risks and uncertainties associated with drug discovery operations, especially on the global level. In connection with efforts to expand our product pipeline, we may be unsuccessful in discovering new potential cancer treatments or identifying appropriate candidates for in-licensing or acquisition.

Some of these challenges and risks are specific to our business, others are common to companies in the biopharmaceutical industry with development and commercial operations, and an additional category are macroeconomic, affecting all companies. For a more detailed discussion of challenges and risks we face, see "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

| COMETRIQ | 9435 | 11158 | -15% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net product revenues | $2122804 | $1809395 | 17% |

---

The increase in net product revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, was primarily related to a 16% increase in the number of CABOMETYX units sold reflecting continuing demand for CABOMETYX in combination with nivolumab as a first-line treatment of patients with advanced RCC, and demand for previously treated advanced NET and, to a lesser extent, a 1% increase in the average net selling price of CABOMETYX. The increase in sales volume was largely driven by refills, reflecting the longer duration of therapy for the combination of CABOMETYX with nivolumab, and an increase in related market share reflecting the continued evolution of the metastatic RCC and NET treatment landscapes.

We project our net product revenues may increase in fiscal year 2026, as compared to 2025, for similar reasons noted above.

We recognize product revenues net of discounts and allowances that are described in "Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Discounts and allowances have generally increased over time as the number of patients participating in government programs has increased and as the discounts given and rebates paid to government payers

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

have also increased. The increase in the amount of discounts and allowances for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, was primarily the result of an increase in the volume of units sold, and the increase in utilization and dollar amount of chargebacks under the 340B Drug Pricing program.

We project our discounts and allowances may increase in fiscal year 2026, as compared to 2025, for similar reasons noted above.

***License Revenues***

License revenues primarily include: (a) the recognition of the portion of milestone payments allocated to the transfer of intellectual property licenses for which it had become probable, in the related period, that a milestone would be achieved and a significant reversal of revenues would not occur in future periods; and (b) royalty revenues.

See "Note 4. Collaborations and Business Development Activities—Cabozantinib Commercial Collaborations—*Performance Obligations and Transaction Prices for our Ipsen and Takeda Collaborations*" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion on the allocation of transaction price which impacts the proportion of milestone revenues allocated to license revenues and collaboration services revenues.

Milestone revenues, which are allocated between license revenues and collaboration services revenues, were $14.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $169.3 million for 2024. Milestone revenues achieved in the respective fiscal year included the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For the year ended December 31, 2025, milestone revenues included $4.7 million in license revenues recognized in connection with a $5.0 million regulatory milestone payment from Ipsen, upon approval by the EC for the treatment of patients with either advanced pNET or advanced epNET.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For the year ended December 31, 2024, milestone revenues included: (1) $150.0 million in license revenues recognized in connection with a commercial milestone payment from Ipsen upon its achievement of $600.0 million in cumulative net sales of cabozantinib over four consecutive quarters in its related Ipsen license territory; (2) $2.2 million in license revenues recognized in connection with a commercial milestone payment from Ipsen upon its achievement of CAD$30.0 million in cumulative net sales of cabozantinib over four consecutive quarters in Canada; and (3) $11.4 million in revenues related to a $12.5 million regulatory milestone payment from Ipsen upon submission of a variation application the EMA for evaluating cabozantinib versus placebo in patients with either advanced pNET or advanced epNET who experienced progression after prior systematic therapy.

Due to uncertainties surrounding the timing and achievement of development, regulatory and commercial milestones, it is difficult to predict the timing of future milestones revenues; consequently, milestones may vary significantly from period to period.

Royalty revenues increased primarily as a result of an increase in Ipsen's net sales of cabozantinib outside of the U.S. and Japan. Ipsen royalties were $165.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $154.0 million for 2024. Ipsen's net sales of cabozantinib have continued to grow since the first commercial sale of CABOMETYX in the Ipsen territories in 2016, primarily due to regulatory approvals in new territories, including regulatory approval in the EU for the combination therapy of CABOMETYX and nivolumab received in March 2021. Royalty revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 also included $13.2 million, as compared to $12.9 million for 2024, related to Takeda's net sales of cabozantinib. As of December 31, 2025, CABOMETYX is approved and commercially available in 68 countries outside of the U.S.

***Collaboration Services Revenues***

Collaboration services revenues include: (a) the development cost reimbursements earned under our collaboration agreements and product supply revenues, net of product supply costs; (b) the recognition of deferred revenues for the portion of upfront and milestone payments that have been allocated to research and development services performance obligations; offset by (c) the royalties we pay to Royalty Pharma on sales by Ipsen and Takeda of products containing cabozantinib.

Development cost reimbursements were $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $25.8 million for 2024. The decrease in development cost reimbursements during the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in spending on studies evaluating cabozantinib that are subject to reimbursement.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

Recognition of deferred revenues for the portion of upfront and milestone payments that have been allocated to research and development services performance obligations were not material for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Collaboration services revenues were reduced by $22.8 million and $21.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, to account for the 3% royalty we are required to pay Royalty Pharma on the net sales by Ipsen and Takeda of any product containing cabozantinib. As royalty generating sales of cabozantinib by Ipsen and Takeda have increased as described above, our royalty payments due to Royalty Pharma have also increased.

We project our collaboration services revenues may decrease in fiscal year 2026, as compared to 2025, primarily as a result of a decrease in development cost reimbursements and an increase in royalty payments on the sales of cabozantinib by Ipsen and Takeda.

***Cost of Goods Sold***

The cost of goods sold and our gross margins were as follows (dollars in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Percent Change** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** | **Percent Change** |
| Cost of goods sold | $83697 | $76216 | 10% |
| Gross margin % | 96% | 96% |  |

---

Cost of goods sold is related to our product revenues and consists of a 3% royalty payable on U.S. net sales of any product containing cabozantinib, as well as the cost of inventory sold, indirect labor costs, write-downs related to expiring, excess and obsolete inventory, and other third-party logistics costs. The increase in cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, was primarily due to the increase in royalties as a result of increased U.S. CABOMETYX sales, partially offset by a decrease in certain period costs. We project our gross margin in 2026 will remain consistent with fiscal year 2025.

***Research and Development Expenses***

We do not track fully burdened research and development expenses on a project-by-project basis. We group our research and development expenses into three categories: (1) development; (2) drug discovery; and (3) other research and development. Our development group leads the development and implementation of our clinical and regulatory strategies and prioritizes disease indications in which our compounds are being or may be studied in clinical trials. Development expenses include license and other collaboration costs, primarily composed of upfront license fees, development milestones and other payments associated with our clinical-stage in-licensing collaboration programs, clinical trial costs, personnel expenses, consulting and outside services and other development costs, including manufacturing costs of our drug development candidates. Our drug discovery group utilizes a variety of technologies, including in-licensed technologies, to enable the rapid discovery, optimization and extensive characterization of lead compounds and biotherapeutics such that we are able to select development candidates with the best potential for further evaluation and advancement into clinical development. Drug discovery expenses include license and other collaboration costs primarily composed of upfront license fees, research funding commitments, option exercise fees, development milestones and other payments associated with our in-licensing collaboration programs in preclinical development stage. Other drug discovery costs include personnel expenses, consulting and outside services and laboratory supplies. Other research and development expenses include the allocation of general corporate costs to research and development services and development cost reimbursements in connection with certain of our collaboration arrangements.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

Research and development expenses by category were as follows (dollars in thousands):

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total research and development expenses | $825001 | $910408 | -9% |

---

In addition, we track our external clinical trial costs by product and product candidate and by scientific modalities, which are categorized as small molecule and biotherapeutics programs. Small molecule clinical development for the reported periods was primarily composed of zanzalintinib and cabozantinib. Biotherapeutics clinical development for the reported periods was primarily composed of XB010, XB371, XB628 and XB002.

Clinical trial costs by scientific modalities, by product and by product candidate were as follows (dollars in thousands):

---

The decrease in research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, was primarily related to decreases in license and other collaboration costs, clinical trial costs and manufacturing costs to support our development candidates (presented as part of other development costs), partially offset by increases in consulting and outside services and stock-based compensation.

Development-related license and other collaboration costs and Drug discovery-related license and other collaboration costs decreased for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, primarily due to lower development milestone achievement in our clinical-stage and discovery-stage in-licensing collaboration programs. Clinical trial costs, which include services performed by third-party contract research organizations and other vendors who support our clinical trials, decreased for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, primarily due to lower costs associated with studies evaluating cabozantinib and XB002, partially offset by higher costs associated with zanzalintinib, XB628, XL309 and XB010 studies.

In addition to reviewing the three categories of research and development expenses described above, we principally consider qualitative factors in making decisions regarding our research and development programs. These

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

factors include enrollment in clinical trials for our product candidates, preliminary data and final results from clinical trials, the potential market indications and overall clinical and commercial potential for our product candidates, and competitive dynamics. We also make our research and development decisions in the context of our overall business strategy.

We project that clinical trial costs may increase with higher costs associated with various studies evaluating zanzalintinib, XB628, XB371 and XB010, partially offset by decreases in costs associated with cabozantinib.

To continue growing our pipeline, we are prioritizing investment in new molecules that are clinically differentiated with the potential to improve the standard of care for our cancer patients, including current progressing and planned clinical trial programs evaluating zanzalintinib, XB628, XB371, XL309, and XB010. We are working to expand our oncology product pipeline through drug discovery efforts, which encompass our diverse biotherapeutics and small molecule programs exploring multiple modalities and mechanisms of action. This approach provides a high degree of flexibility with respect to target selection and allows us to prioritize those targets that we believe have the greatest chance of yielding impactful therapeutics. As part of our strategy, our drug discovery activities have included and continue to include internal research, as well as external research collaborations, in-licensing arrangements and other strategic transactions that collectively incorporate a wide range of technology platforms and assets and increase our probability of success. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we expect to progress up to two new development candidates into preclinical development in 2026. We will continue to engage in pipeline expansion initiatives with the goal of acquiring and in-licensing promising investigational oncology assets and then further characterize and develop them utilizing our established preclinical and clinical development infrastructure.

We project our research and development expenses may increase for fiscal year 2026, as compared to 2025, primarily driven by increases in clinical trial costs, including the current and planned trials evaluating zanzalintinib, XB628, XB371 and XB010, and personnel expenses.

A discussion of the risks and uncertainties with respect to our research and development activities, and the consequences to our business, financial position, and growth prospects can be found in "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

***Selling, General and Administrative Expenses***

Selling, general and administrative expenses were as follows (dollars in thousands):

---

____________________

<sup>(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>Excludes stock-based compensation allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, stock-based compensation, marketing costs and certain other administrative costs.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, was primarily due to increases in marketing activities in support of the commercial launch of CABOMETYX for the treatment of patients with previously treated advanced NET and pre-launch activities for zanzalintinib, stock-based compensation, and personnel expenses, partially offset by a decrease in corporate giving.

We project our selling, general and administrative expenses may increase in fiscal year 2026, as compared to 2025, as a result of increases in personnel expenses for the salesforce expansion in support for the commercial sale of CABOMETYX for the treatment of patients with previously treated advanced NET, marketing activities in support of the anticipated commercial launch of zanzalintinib and legal and advisory fees.

***Impairment of Long-Lived Assets***

Impairment of long-lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2024, was related to certain leased facilities at our Alameda campus. During fiscal year 2024, we listed certain buildings for sublease. As a result, we assessed the impacted

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

asset groups for impairment and concluded that the related right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements were not fully recoverable and recognized a $51.7 million non-cash impairment charge. See "Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

***Restructuring Expenses***

Restructuring expenses resulted from the execution of the 2025 corporate reorganization plan (2025 Plan) and 2024 corporate restructuring plan (2024 Plan), consisting primarily of severance and employee-related costs, asset impairment, and contract termination costs. See "Note 13. Restructuring" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Restructuring expenses were as follows (dollars in thousands):

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-operating income | $69015 | $77023 | -10% |

---

The decrease in non-operating income for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, was primarily the result of a decrease in interest income due to lower average interest-bearing investment balances, and lower average interest rates.

***Provision for Income Taxes***

The provision for income taxes and the effective tax rates were as follows (dollars in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Percent Change** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** | **Percent Change** |
| Provision for income taxes | $158636 | $160373 | -1% |
| Effective tax rate | 16.9% | 23.5% |  |

---

The decrease in provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, was primarily due to the Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (FDII) deduction and excess tax benefits related to certain stock grants, offset by an increase in income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the FDII deduction, the generation of federal tax credits, and excess tax benefits related to certain stock grants. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2024 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to state taxes, partially offset by the generation of federal tax credits. We project that our effective tax rate may be between 21% and 23% in fiscal year 2026.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

As of December 31, 2025, we had $1.66 billion in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, as compared to $1.75 billion as of December 31, 2024. We anticipate that the aggregate of our current cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities available for operations, net product revenues and collaboration revenues will enable us to maintain our operations for at least 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

Our primary cash requirements for operating activities, which we project will increase in fiscal 2026 as compared to fiscal year 2025, are for: employee related expenditures; payments related to our collaboration and development programs; income tax payments; royalty payments on our net product sales; cash payments for inventory; rent payments for our leased facilities and contract manufacturing payments.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, signed into law on December 22, 2017, modified the tax treatment of research and experimental (R&E) expenditures beginning in fiscal year 2022, requiring that they must be capitalized and amortized ratably over five years for domestic R&E expenditures or 15 years for foreign R&E expenditures. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law on July 4, 2025, which, among other provisions, permanently repeals the requirement to capitalize domestic R&E expenditures for federal income tax purposes for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024, and allows for the accelerated deduction of any remaining unamortized domestic R&E expenditures. Foreign R&E expenditures are still required to be capitalized and amortized ratably over 15 years. The federal cash tax benefit for this provision of the OBBBA was $191 million for our fiscal year 2025, with no corresponding impact to the federal income tax provision.

Our primary sources of operating cash are: cash collections from customers related to net product revenues, which we project may increase for fiscal year 2026, as compared to 2025; cash collections related to milestones achieved and royalties earned from our commercial collaboration arrangements with Ipsen, Takeda and others; and cash collections for cost reimbursements under certain of our development programs with Ipsen and Takeda which we project may decrease in 2026, as compared to 2025. The timing of cash generated from commercial collaborations and cash payments required for in-licensing collaborations relative to upfront license fee payments, cost reimbursements, exercise of option payments and other contingent payments such as development milestone payments may vary from period to period.

We project that we may continue to spend significant amounts of cash to fund the development of product candidates in our pipeline, including zanzalintinib, XB371, XB628, XL309 and XB010, and the development and commercialization of cabozantinib. In addition, we may continue to expand our oncology product pipeline through additional research collaborations, in-licensing arrangements and other strategic transactions that align with our oncology drug development, regulatory and commercial expertise.

In August 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a SRP to acquire up to $500.0 million of our outstanding common stock before December 31, 2025. In February 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $500.0 million of our outstanding common stock before December 31, 2025. In October 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the October 2025 SRP for the repurchase of up to an additional $750.0 million of our common stock before December 31, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, we have repurchased 30.2 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,159.7 million under these SRPs and have completed the SRPs authorized in August 2024 and February 2025. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $590.2 million remained available under the October 2025 SRP for future stock repurchases before December 31, 2026.

Stock repurchases under these SRPs may be made from time to time through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, in block trades, Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, accelerated share repurchase transactions, exchange transactions, or any combination of such methods. The timing and amount of any stock repurchases under the SRPs will be based on a variety of factors, including ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, alternative investment opportunities, the market price of Exelixis' common stock and general market conditions. These SRPs do not obligate us to acquire any amount of our common stock, and the SRPs may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

Financing these activities could materially impact our liquidity and capital resources and may require us to incur debt or raise additional funds through the issuance of equity. Furthermore, even though we believe we have sufficient funds for our current and future operating plans, we may choose to incur debt or raise additional funds through the issuance of equity based on market conditions or strategic considerations.

*Working capital*: The decrease in working capital as of December 31, 2025, as compared to December 31, 2024, was primarily due to the payments for repurchases of our common stock, partially offset by the favorable impact to our net current assets resulting from our increase in net product revenues. In the future, our working capital may be impacted by one of these factors or other factors, the amounts and timing of which are variable.

*Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities*: Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of deposits at major banks, money market funds, commercial paper and other securities with original maturities 90 days or less. Marketable securities primarily consist of debt securities available-for-sale and certificates of deposit. For additional information regarding our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, see "Note 5. Cash and Marketable Securities," of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at December 31, 2025, as compared to December 31, 2024, was primarily due to cash payments to repurchase our common stock, cash payments to support our development and discovery programs, including acquisition of in-process research and development technology, tax payments and operating cash payments for employee-related expenditures and restructuring, partially offset by cash inflows generated by our operations from sales of our products and our commercial collaboration arrangements.

Cash flow activities were as follows (dollars in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Percent Change** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** | **Percent Change** |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $884267 | $699971 | 26% |
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | $350441 | $(116783) | -400% |
| Net cash used in financing activities | $(969594) | $(628808) | 54% |

---

*Operating Activities*

Cash provided by operating activities is derived by adjusting our net income for non-cash operating items such as deferred taxes, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, non-cash lease expense, impairment of long-lived assets, acquired in-process research and development technology, and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which reflect timing differences between the receipt and payment of cash associated with transactions and when they are recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase in cash received on sales of our products, lower cash paid for certain operating expenses, partially offset by cash payments related to the 2024 and 2025 Plans.

*Investing Activities*

The changes in cash flows from investing activities primarily relates to the timing of marketable securities activity, acquisition of in-process research and development technology and capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures primarily consist of investments to expand our operations and acquire assets that further support our research and development activities.

Net cash was provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to net cash used in investing activities in 2024. The increase in cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to an increase in cash proceeds from maturities and sales of marketable securities and decreases in purchases of marketable securities, property and equipment and in-process research and development technology related to certain in-licensing collaboration arrangements.

*Financing Activities*

The changes in cash flows from financing activities primarily relate to payments for repurchases of common stock, proceeds from employee stock programs and taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards.

Net cash used in financing activities increased for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, primarily due to increases in payments for repurchases of common stock and withholding taxes remitted to the government related to net share settlements of equity awards.

**Contractual Obligations**

As of December 31, 2025, we anticipate the aggregate of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and cash generated from operations to be sufficient to fund our contractual obligations, as well as cash requirements to support our ongoing operations and capital expenditures. Our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2025 primarily consist of:

*Operating leases:* We have certain lease agreements related to our corporate campus facilities and laboratory facilities located in Alameda, California, under which we are obligated to make lease payments. As of December 31, 2025, we had $28.5 million of lease payments due in one year and $230.7 million due over the remaining lease term.

*Purchase obligations:* Purchase obligations include firm purchase commitments related to manufacturing of inventory, software services and other facilities and equipment. As of December 31, 2025, we had $61.7 million total purchase obligations due within one year and $29.6 million due after one year.

*Contingent payments:* We have committed to make certain contingent payments for potential future milestones, research funding commitments and royalties to certain collaboration partners, including contingent exercise fee payments if we decide to exercise certain of our options to in-license or acquire in-process research and development technology as part of our agreements with those parties. We do not expect these contingent payments to have a significant impact on our liquidity in the near term.

See "Notes 4. Collaboration Agreements and Business Development Activities" and "Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding our contractual obligations and contingencies.

As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any material off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable SEC regulations.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates** 

The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements conforms to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. which requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact our Consolidated Financial Statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates including, but not limited to: those related to revenue recognition, including determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and determining the standalone selling price of performance obligations, and variable consideration such as rebates, chargebacks, sales returns and sales allowances as well as milestones included in collaboration arrangements; the accrual for certain liabilities including accrued clinical trial liabilities; and valuations of equity awards used to determine stock-based compensation, including certain awards with vesting subject to market or performance conditions; and the amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities including the related valuation allowance. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our senior management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

We believe our critical accounting policies relating to revenue recognition, clinical trial and collaboration accruals, stock-based compensation and income taxes reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements.

***Revenue Recognition***

*Net Product Revenues and Discounts and Allowances*

We recognize revenues when our customers obtain control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we are entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We calculate gross product revenues based on the price that we charge to the specialty pharmacies and distributors in the U.S. We estimate our domestic net product revenues by deducting from our gross product revenues: (a) trade allowances, such as discounts for prompt payment; (b) estimated government rebates and chargebacks; (c) certain other fees paid to specialty pharmacies, distributors and commercial payors; and (d) returns. We record estimates for these deductions at the time we recognize the related gross product revenue. However, the actual rebate or chargeback on the sale of our product to a distributor is not invoiced to us until a future period, generally within three months from the date of sale. Due to this time lag, we must estimate the amount of rebates and chargebacks to accrue. We base our estimates for the expected utilization on customer and payer data received from the specialty pharmacies and distributors and historical utilization rates. We update our estimates every quarter to reflect actual claims and other current information. Actual rebates and chargebacks claimed for prior periods have varied from our estimates by less than 1% of the amount deducted from gross product revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Our current estimates may differ significantly from actual results.

*Collaboration Revenues*

We enter into collaboration arrangements with third parties, under which we license certain rights to our intellectual property, and account for the arrangements as either license revenue or collaboration services revenue when the counterparty is a customer. The terms of these arrangements may include payments to us for one or more of the following: non-refundable, up-front license fees; development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments; product supply services; development cost reimbursements; profit sharing arrangements; and royalties on net sales of licensed products.

As part of the accounting for these arrangements, we must develop assumptions that require judgment to determine the standalone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract. We use key assumptions to determine the standalone selling price, which may include forecast revenues and costs, clinical development timelines and costs, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, discount rates and probabilities of technical and regulatory success. At the inception of each arrangement that includes development milestone payments, we evaluate whether the milestones are considered probable of being reached and estimate the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, we re-evaluate the probability of earning of such development milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjust our estimate of the overall transaction price. For arrangements that may include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, we recognize revenue at the later of (i) when the related sale occurs or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). Development milestone adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect collaboration services revenues in the period of adjustment. In addition, in recording revenues for our research and development services performance obligations, we use projected development cost estimates to determine the amount of revenue to record as we satisfy this performance obligation.

***Clinical Trial and Collaboration Accruals***

We execute all of our clinical trials with support from contract research organizations and other vendors and we accrue costs for clinical trial activities performed by these third parties based upon the estimated amount of work completed on each trial. For clinical trial expenses, the significant factors used in estimating accruals include the number of patients enrolled, the activities performed for each patient, the number of active clinical sites and the duration for which the patients will be enrolled in the trial. Certain of our in-licensing collaboration arrangements include contingent payments in the form of development, regulatory and commercial milestones. We recognize expense for contingent payments when they are deemed probable of achievement which requires judgment as to the probability and timing of the achievement of the underlying milestones. To the extent actual results, or updated probability estimates, differ from current estimates, such amounts are recorded as an adjustment in the period estimates are revised. We monitor patient enrollment levels and assess the related research and development activities progress, including the probability of achieving milestone payments

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

associated to the respective terms and conditions of our in-licensing and collaboration arrangements to the extent possible through internal reviews and estimates of the operational progress of our discovery and early-stage clinical development programs, correspondence with contract research organizations and review of contractual terms. We base our estimates on the best information available at the time. However, additional information may become available to us, which may allow us to make a more accurate estimate in future periods. If we do not identify costs that we have begun to incur or if we underestimate or overestimate the level of services performed or the costs of these services, our actual expenses could differ from our estimates.

***Stock-based Compensation***

Stock-based compensation expense requires us to estimate the fair value of performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs) and restricted stock units (RSUs) subject to market conditions, and estimate the number of shares subject to PSUs and RSUs with market conditions that will ultimately vest. To determine the fair value, we use models that require a number of complex and subjective assumptions including our stock price volatility, employee exercise patterns and risk-free interest rates. Monte Carlo simulation models are used to determine grant date fair value of awards with market conditions. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of market conditions awards represent management's best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

We recognize stock-based compensation for PSUs over the requisite service period only for awards which we estimate will ultimately vest, which requires judgment as to the probability and timing of the achievement of the underlying performance goals. Significant factors we consider in making those judgments include forecasts of our product revenues and those of our collaboration partners, estimates regarding the operational progress of late-stage clinical development programs and discovery pipeline expansion performance targets. To the extent actual results, or updated estimates, differ from current estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised and as such, can materially affect our stock-based compensation expense in the current period and in the future. Compensation expense related to RSUs with market vesting conditions is recognized regardless of the outcome of the market conditions.

***Income Taxes***

We compute our income tax provision or benefit under the asset and liability method. Significant estimates are required in determining our income tax provision or benefit. We base some of these estimates on interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (temporary differences) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets, including net operating losses and tax credits, will not be realized. We periodically re-assess the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets based on various factors including our historical earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, and forecasts of future operating results and utilization of net operating losses and tax credits prior to their expiration. Significant judgment is required in making this assessment and, to the extent that we deem a reversal of any portion of our valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets to be appropriate, we recognize a tax benefit against our income tax provision in the period of such reversal.

We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by tax authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted as appropriate for changes in facts and circumstances, such as significant amendments to existing tax law, new regulations or interpretations by tax authorities, new information obtained during a tax examination or resolution of an examination. We have elected to record interest and penalties in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of income taxes.

**Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.**

We are exposed to cash flow and earnings fluctuations as a result of certain market risks. These market risks primarily relate to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Our investment portfolio is used to preserve our capital until it is required to fund operations, including our research and development activities. None of these market risk-sensitive instruments are held for trading purposes.

**Interest Rate Risk**

We invest our cash in a variety of financial instruments, principally securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, investment-grade corporate bonds and commercial paper, and money market funds. These investments are denominated in U.S. Dollars. All of our interest-bearing securities are subject to interest rate risk and could decline in value if interest rates fluctuate. Substantially all of our investment portfolio consists of marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to help ensure portfolio liquidity, and we have implemented guidelines limiting the term-to-maturity of our investment instruments. Due to the conservative and short-term nature of these instruments, we do not believe that we have a material exposure to interest rate risk. If market interest rates were to increase or decrease by one percentage point, the fair value of our investment portfolio would increase or decrease by an immaterial amount.

**Foreign Exchange Rate Risk** 

Fluctuations in the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may have the effect of increasing or decreasing our revenues and expenses and related financial assets, liabilities and cash flows. Royalty revenues and sales-based milestones we receive from our collaboration agreements with Ipsen, Takeda and Genentech are a percentage of the net sales made by those collaboration partners from sales made in countries outside the U.S. and are denominated in currencies in which the product is sold, which is predominantly the Euro or Japanese Yen. Research and development expenses include clinical trial and other services performed by third-party contract research organizations and other vendors located outside the U.S. that may bill us in currencies where their services are provided, which is predominantly the Euro. If the U.S. dollar strengthens against a foreign currency, then our royalty revenues will decrease for the same number of units sold in that foreign currency and the date we achieve certain sales-based milestones may also be delayed. Similarly, if the U.S. dollar weakens against a foreign currency, then our research and development expenses would increase. However, we believe that we are not subject to material risks arising from changes in foreign exchange rates and that a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in foreign exchange rates would not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. From time to time we have entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts, that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, to hedge certain operational exposures for the changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro. Our strategy is to enter into foreign currency forward contracts for currencies in which we have an asset or liability exposure so that increases or decreases in the foreign currency exposure are offset by gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts, which mitigate the risks and volatility associated with certain foreign currency transactions. See "Note 6. Fair Value Measurements — Forward Foreign Currency Contracts" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information about our foreign currency forward contracts.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Exelixis, Inc.

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Exelixis, Inc. (the Company) as of January 2, 2026 and January 3, 2025, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 2, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at January 2, 2026 and January 3, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 2, 2026, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of January 2, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 10, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matter**

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Net product revenues** |
| *Description of the Matter* | For the year ended January 2, 2026, the Company recorded net product revenues of $2.1 billion. As discussed in Note 1 and Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company sells its products principally to specialty distributors and specialty pharmacy providers, collectively, Customers. These Customers subsequently resell the products to health care providers and patients. Revenues from product sales are recognized net of accruals for estimated rebates, wholesaler chargebacks, discounts and other deductions (collectively discounts and allowances), which are estimated at the time of sale. Revenues from product sales are recognized upon transfer of control of a product to a customer, generally upon delivery, and is based on an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, which represents an amount that is net of accruals for estimated discounts and allowances. |

|:---|:---|
| | Auditing the Company's net product revenues was complex and involved judgment given the volume of sales transactions and estimated rebates and chargebacks accruals related to U.S. product sales.  |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company's revenue recognition process to determine the timing and measurement of product revenue and estimation of discounts and allowances. This included testing controls over management's review of key assumptions and inputs used in the estimation of discounts and allowances, including but not limited to products delivered, contractual terms, and historical experience. |
| | Our audit procedures over net product revenues included, among others, performing analytical procedures over revenues recognized and cash collections, testing appropriate cut-off of revenue recognition at period-end, and confirming a sample of outstanding receivable balances with customers. We also evaluated the Company's methodology used to estimate discounts and allowances, tested key assumptions, and assessed the historical accuracy of the Company's estimates of discounts and allowances by comparing assumptions to historical trends and evaluating the change from prior periods. We further tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the Company's calculations through reconciliation to third-party invoices, claims data and actual cash payments.  |

**EXELIXIS, INC.**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

**Organization** 

Exelixis, Inc. (Exelixis, we, our or us) is an oncology company innovating next-generation medicines and regimens at the forefront of cancer care. We have produced four marketed pharmaceutical products, two of which are formulations of our flagship molecule, cabozantinib, and we are steadily advancing and evolving our product pipeline portfolio, including our lead clinical asset, zanzalintinib, currently under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of certain forms of colorectal cancer (CRC), as well as the focus of an extensive late-stage clinical development program in other indications. With a rational and disciplined approach to investment, we are leveraging our internal experience and expertise, and the strength of strategic partnerships, to identify and pursue opportunities across the landscape of scientific modalities, including small molecules and biotherapeutics, such as antibody-drug conjugates.

Sales related to cabozantinib account for the majority of our revenues. Cabozantinib is an inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases, including MET, AXL, VEGF receptors and RET and has been approved by the FDA, and in other countries for all or a combination of, the following: as CABOMETYX® (cabozantinib) tablets for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (both alone and in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company's (BMS) nivolumab (OPDIVO®)), previously treated hepatocellular carcinoma, previously treated, radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer, and previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic, well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) and extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (epNET); and as COMETRIQ® (cabozantinib) capsules for progressive, metastatic medullary thyroid cancer. For physicians treating these types of cancer, cabozantinib has become or is becoming an important medicine in their selection of effective therapies.

The other two products resulting from our discovery efforts are: COTELLIC® (cobimetinib), an inhibitor of MEK, approved as part of multiple combination regimens to treat specific forms of advanced melanoma and marketed under a collaboration with Genentech, Inc. (a member of the Roche Group) (Genentech); and MINNEBRO® (esaxerenone), an oral, non-steroidal, selective blocker of the mineralocorticoid receptor, approved for the treatment of hypertension in Japan and licensed to Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited.

**Basis of Presentation**

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Exelixis and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. These entities' functional currency is the U.S. dollar. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

We have adopted a 52- or 53-week fiscal year policy that generally ends on the Friday closest to December 31st. Fiscal year 2025, which was a 52-week fiscal year, ended on January 2, 2026; fiscal year 2024, which was a 53-week fiscal year, ended on January 3, 2025; and fiscal year 2023, which was a 52-week fiscal year, ended on December 29, 2023. For convenience, references in this report as of and for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2026, January 3, 2025, and December 29, 2023, are indicated as being as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

We have made reclassifications to our prior years' Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current year's presentation. These reclassifications did not impact previously reported total revenues, income from operations, net income, total assets, total liabilities, total operating, investing or financing cash flows or total stockholders' equity.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements conforms to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our significant estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

**Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements**

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures* (ASU 2023-09), which enhances the disclosures required for income taxes in our annual consolidated financial statements. We adopted the new standard effective beginning fiscal year 2025 on a prospective basis. We have presented the effects of the adoption of ASU 2023-09 in "Note 10. Provision for Income Taxes."

**Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities**

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include high-grade, short-term investments in money market funds and marketable debt securities which are subject to minimal credit and market risk.

We designate all investments in marketable debt securities and certificates of deposit as available-for-sale and therefore, report such investments at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. For securities sold prior to maturity, the cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. We include realized gains and losses on the sale of marketable securities in other income (expenses), net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

We classify those marketable securities that we do not require for use in current operations and that mature in more than 12 months as non-current marketable securities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

**Investment Impairment**

Quarterly, we assess each of our investments in available-for-sale debt securities whose fair value is below its cost basis to determine if the investment's impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Factors considered in determining whether an impairment is credit-related include the extent to which the investment's fair value is less than its cost basis, declines in published credit ratings, issuer default on interest or principal payments, and declines in the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. If we determine a credit-related impairment exists, we will measure the credit loss based on a discounted cash flow model. Credit-related impairments on available-for-sale debt securities are recognized as an allowance for credit losses with a corresponding adjustment to other income (expenses), net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. The portion of the impairment that is not credit-related is recorded as a reduction of other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.

We have elected to exclude accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale debt securities for the purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment. We write-off accrued interest as a reduction of interest income when an issuer has defaulted on interest payments due on a security.

**Fair Value Measurements**

Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities which are required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risks.

**Foreign Currency Remeasurement**

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period and related gains or losses are recorded in other income (expenses), net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Net foreign currency gains or losses were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

**Accounts Receivable** 

Trade receivables, net, contain amounts billed to our customers for product sales, and amounts billed to our collaboration partners for development, regulatory and sales-based milestone payments, royalties on the sale of licensed products, profit-sharing arrangements, development cost reimbursements, and payments for product supply services. Our

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

customers are primarily pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are located in the U.S., and collaboration partners that are located in Europe and Japan. We record trade receivables net of allowances for credit losses and chargebacks, and cash discounts for prompt payment. We apply an aging method to estimate credit losses and consider our historical loss information, adjusted to account for current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions affecting our customers. We write off trade receivables and related allowances for credit losses when it becomes probable we will not collect the amount receivable. The allowances for credit losses and write-offs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were immaterial.

**Inventory**

We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We determine the cost of inventory using the standard-cost method, which approximates actual cost based on a first-in, first-out method. We analyze our inventory levels quarterly and write down inventory subject to expiry in excess of expected requirements, or that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value. These write downs are charged to either cost of goods sold or the cost of supplied product included in collaboration services revenues in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. On a quarterly basis, we analyze our estimated production levels for the following twelve-month period, which is our normal operating cycle, and reclassify inventory we expect to use or sell in periods beyond the next twelve months into other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

**Property and Equipment**

We record property and equipment at cost, net of depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the assets and amortize leasehold improvements over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remainder of the lease term. We charge repairs and maintenance costs to expense as incurred. We periodically review property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

**Long-Lived Assets Impairment**

The carrying value of our long-lived assets, which includes property and equipment, right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements, is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Should there be an indication of impairment, we test for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. If the asset or asset group is determined to be impaired, any excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss. The fair value is determined using an income approach where certain Level 3 inputs are used, including estimates and assumptions on the timing and amount of discounted cash flows. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized $64.4 million in impairment charges primarily comprised of right-of use assets, leasehold improvements, and property and equipment. We did not recognize any material impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2023. See "Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies *– Impairment of long-lived assets*" and "Note 13. Restructuring" for further details.

**Leases**

We determine if an arrangement includes a lease at the inception of the agreement. For each of our lease arrangements, we record a right-of-use asset representing our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and a lease liability representing our obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the net present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the discount rate used to calculate the net present value of lease payments, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. Our leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease which are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise any such options. The Company elected to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Lease expense for our operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Impairments of right-of-use assets are recognized as a reduction in their respective carrying values. Post-impairment, the lease expense for our operating leases is comprised of the straight-line amortization of the remaining right-of-use assets over the lease term and the accretion of lease liability. We have elected not to apply the recognition requirements of Topic 842, *Leases,* for short-term leases that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset for which the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. For short-term leases, lease payments are recognized as incurred in operating expenses over the lease term.

**Goodwill**

We record goodwill amounts as the excess of purchase price over identifiable net assets acquired based on their estimated fair value. We review the carrying amount of goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We perform our annual assessment of the recoverability of our goodwill as of the first day of our fourth quarter. The assessment of recoverability may first consider qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We perform a quantitative assessment if the qualitative assessment results in a more-likely-than-not determination or if a qualitative assessment is not performed. The quantitative assessment considers whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, in which case an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, limited to the goodwill balance. We operate in one business segment, which is also considered to be our sole reporting unit and therefore, goodwill is tested for impairment at the enterprise level. We did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges in any of the periods presented.

**Other current liabilities**

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, other current liabilities includes the current portion of the Branded Prescription Drug Fee due to the Internal Revenue Service in the amount of $27.7 million and $26.2 million, respectively, and the current portion of our lease liability in the amount of $27.9 million and $25.0 million, respectively.

**Revenue**

We account for revenues under the guidance of Topic 606, *Revenues from Contracts with Customers* (Topic 606). Under Topic 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity is entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that are within the scope of Topic 606, we perform the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer.

***Net Product Revenues***

We sell our products principally to specialty distributors and specialty pharmacy providers, or collectively, our Customers. These Customers subsequently resell our products to health care providers and patients. In addition to distribution agreements with Customers, we enter into arrangements with health care providers and payors that provide for government-mandated and/or privately-negotiated rebates, chargebacks and discounts with respect to the purchase of our products. Revenues from product sales are recognized when the Customer obtains control of our product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the Customer.

***Product Sales Discounts and Allowances***

We record revenues from product sales at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established primarily from chargebacks, discounts for prompt payment, rebates, co-pay assistance and other customer credits that are offered within contracts between us and our Customers, health care providers, payors and other indirect customers relating to the sales of our products. These reserves are based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (if the amount is payable to the Customer) or a current liability (if the amount is payable to a party other than a Customer). Where appropriate, these estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes for relevant factors such as our historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted Customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect our best estimates of the amount of consideration to which we are entitled based on the terms of our contracts. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price may be constrained, and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from our estimates, we will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenues and earnings in the period such variances become known.

*Chargebacks:* Chargebacks are discounts that occur when contracted Customers purchase directly from a specialty distributor. Contracted Customers, which currently consist primarily of Public Health Service institutions, Federal government entities purchasing via the Federal Supply Schedule, Group Purchasing Organizations, and health maintenance organizations, generally purchase the product at a discounted price. The specialty distributor, in turn, charges back to us the difference between the price initially paid by the specialty distributor and the discounted price paid to the specialty distributor by the Customer. The allowance for chargebacks is based on actual chargebacks received and an estimate of sales to contracted Customers.

*Discounts for Prompt Payment:* Our Customers in the U.S. receive a discount of 2% for prompt payment. We expect our Customers will earn 100% of their prompt payment discounts and, therefore, we deduct the full amount of these discounts from total product sales when revenues are recognized.

*Rebates:* Allowances for rebates consist primarily of mandated discounts under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, other government programs and commercial contracts. Rebate amounts owed after the final dispensing of the product to a benefit plan participant are based upon contractual agreements or legal requirements with public sector benefit providers, such as Medicaid. The allowance for rebates is based on statutory or contractual discount rates and expected utilization. Our estimates for the expected utilization of rebates are based on Customer and payer data received from the specialty pharmacies and distributors and historical utilization rates. Rebates are generally invoiced by the payer and paid in arrears, such that the accrual balance consists of an estimate of the amount expected to be incurred for the current quarter's shipments to our Customers, plus an accrual balance for known prior quarters' unpaid rebates. If actual future rebates vary from estimates, we may need to adjust our accruals, which would affect net product revenues in the period of adjustment.

Allowances for rebates also include amounts related to the Medicare Part D Manufacturer Discount Program (MDP), which replaced the Medicare Part D Coverage Gap Discount, effective on January 1, 2025. The MDP was implemented under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and eliminates the coverage gap benefit phase, introduces pharmaceutical manufacturer discount obligations in both the initial coverage and catastrophic phases, and lowers the annual cap on enrollee out-of-pocket costs. We estimate our MDP rebate liabilities based on the portion of our product sales expected to be attributable to patients enrolled in Medicare Part D plans. These rebate amounts are recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenues and the establishment of a current liability included in rebates and fees due to customers in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. MDP rebates are invoiced and paid in arrears. If invoiced amounts vary from estimates, we may need to adjust our accruals, which would affect net product revenues in the period of adjustment.

*Co-payment Assistance:* Patients who have commercial insurance and meet certain eligibility requirements may receive co-payment assistance. We accrue a liability for co-payment assistance based on actual program participation and estimates of program redemption using Customer data provided by the specialty distributor that administers the copay program.

*Other Customer Credits:* We pay fees to our Customers for account management, data management and other administrative services. To the extent the services received are distinct from the sale of products to the Customer, we classify these payments in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

***Collaboration Revenues***

We assess whether our collaboration agreements are subject to Topic 808, *Collaborative Arrangements* (Topic 808), based on whether they involve joint operating activities and whether both parties have active participation in the arrangement and are exposed to significant risks and rewards. To the extent that the arrangement falls within the scope of Topic 808, we apply by analogy the unit of account guidance under Topic 606 to identify distinct performance obligations, and then determine whether a customer relationship exists for each distinct performance obligation. If we determine a performance obligation within the arrangement is with a customer, we apply the guidance in Topic 606. If a portion of a distinct bundle of goods or services within an arrangement is not with a customer, then the unit of account is not within the scope of Topic 606, and the recognition and measurement of that unit of account shall be based on analogy to authoritative accounting literature or, if there is no appropriate analogy, a reasonable, rational, and consistently applied accounting policy election.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

We enter into collaboration arrangements, under which we license certain rights to our intellectual property to third parties. The terms of these arrangements may include payments to us for one or more of the following: nonrefundable up-front license fees; development, regulatory and sales-based milestone payments; product supply services; development cost reimbursements; profit-sharing arrangements; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. As part of the accounting for these arrangements, we develop assumptions that require judgment to determine the standalone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract. These key assumptions may include forecasted revenues, clinical development timelines and costs, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, discount rates and probabilities of technical and regulatory success.

*Up-front License Fees:* If the license to our intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, we recognize revenues from nonrefundable up-front fees allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the licensee and the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license, which generally occurs at or near the inception of the contract. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, we utilize judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenues from nonrefundable up-front fees. We evaluate the measure of progress at the end of each reporting period and, if necessary, adjust the measure of performance and related revenue recognition.

*Regulatory and Development Milestone Payments:* At the inception of each arrangement that includes development milestone payments, we evaluate whether the milestones are considered probable of being reached and estimate the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within our or the licensee's control, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until uncertainty associated with the approvals has been resolved. The transaction price is then allocated to each performance obligation, on a relative standalone selling price basis, for which we recognize revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, we re-evaluate the probability of achieving such development and regulatory milestones and any related variable consideration constraint, and if necessary, adjust our estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis.

*Product Supply Services:* Arrangements that include a promise for the future supply of drug product for either clinical development or commercial supply at the licensee's discretion are generally considered as options. We assess if these options provide a material right to the licensee and if so, they are accounted for as separate performance obligations.

*Development Cost Reimbursements:* Our collaboration arrangements may include promises of future clinical development and drug safety services, as well as participation on certain joint committees. When such services are provided to a customer, and they are distinct from the licenses provided to our collaboration partners, these promises are accounted for as a separate performance obligation, which we estimate using internal development costs incurred and projections through the term of the arrangements. We record revenues for these services as the performance obligations are satisfied over time based on measure of progress. However, if we conclude that our collaboration partner is not a customer for those collaborative research and development activities, we present such payments as a reduction of research and development expenses.

*Profit-sharing Arrangements:* Under the terms of our collaboration agreement with Genentech for cobimetinib, we are entitled to a share of U.S. profits and losses received in connection with the commercialization of cobimetinib. We account for this arrangement in accordance with Topic 606. We have determined that we are an agent under the agreement and therefore revenues are recorded net of costs incurred. We record revenues for the variable consideration associated with the profits and losses under the collaboration agreement when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur.

*Royalty and Sales-based Milestone Payments:* For arrangements that include royalties and sales-based milestone payments, including milestone payments earned for the first commercial sale of a product, the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which such payments relate and we recognize revenues at the later of when the related sales occur or when the performance obligation to which the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied.

**Cost of Goods Sold**

Cost of goods sold is related to our product revenues and consists primarily of a 3% royalty we are required to pay on all net sales of any product containing cabozantinib, the cost of manufacturing, indirect labor costs, write-downs related to expiring and excess inventory, shipping and other third-party logistics and distribution costs for our product.

We consider regulatory approval of product candidates to be uncertain and product manufactured prior to regulatory approval may not be sold unless regulatory approval is obtained. As such, the manufacturing costs for product candidates incurred prior to regulatory approval are not capitalized as inventory but are expensed as research and development costs.

**Research and Development Expenses**

Research and development expenses consist of (1) direct and indirect internal costs for drug discovery; (2) upfront license and project initiation fees, license option fees and option exercise fees, funded research and milestone payments incurred or probable to be incurred for our in-licensing arrangements with our collaboration partners for research programs in development and prior to regulatory approval; and (3) development costs associated with our clinical trial projects, which include fees paid to Contract Research Organizations (CRO) performing work on our behalf.

Our clinical trial projects have been executed with support from third-party CROs, who specialize in conducting and managing global clinical trials. We accrue expenses for clinical trial activities performed by the CROs based upon the estimated amount of work completed on each trial. For clinical trial expenses, the significant factors used in estimating accruals include direct CRO costs, the number of patients enrolled, the number of active clinical sites involved, the duration for which the patients will be enrolled in the trial and patient out of pocket costs. We monitor patient enrollment levels and related activities to the extent possible through CRO meetings and correspondence, internal reviews and review of contractual terms. We base our estimates on the best information available at the time. However, additional information may become available to us which may allow us to make a more accurate estimate in future periods. In this event, we may be required to record adjustments to research and development expenses in future periods when the actual level of activity becomes more certain. As described further above, certain payments made to us from our collaboration partners may be presented as a reduction of research and development expense.

**Advertising**

Advertising expenses were $51.7 million, $43.5 million and $40.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We expense the costs of advertising, including promotional expenses, as incurred. Advertising expenses are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

**Stock-Based Compensation**

We account for stock-based payments to employees, including grants of service-based restricted stock units (RSUs), performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs), service-based stock options and purchases under our 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended and restated, the Amended ESPP) in accordance with Topic 718, *Compensation-Stock Compensation*, which requires that stock-based payments (to the extent they are compensatory) be recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Income based on their fair values. We account for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur. The expense for stock-based compensation is based on the grant date fair value of the award. The grant date fair value of RSUs and PSUs are estimated as the value of the underlying shares of our common stock. The grant date fair values for certain PSUs and RSUs with market vesting conditions are estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model and for stock options, using a Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model. Both pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected volatility of our stock price and the expected term of the awards. We consider both implied and historical volatility when developing an estimate of expected volatility. We estimate the term using historical data. We recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period on an accelerated basis for awards with a market or performance condition and on a straight-line basis for service-based stock options and awards. Compensation expense related to PSUs is recognized when we determine that it is probable that the performance goals will be achieved, which we assess on a quarterly basis. Compensation expense related to RSUs with market vesting conditions is recognized regardless of the outcome of the market conditions.

**Provision for Income Taxes**

Our provision for income taxes is computed under the asset and liability method. Significant estimates are required in determining our provision for income taxes. Some of these estimates are based on interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (temporary differences) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets, including net operating losses and tax credits, will not be realized. We periodically re-assess the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets based on various factors including our historical earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, and forecasts of future operating results and utilization of net operating losses and tax credits prior to their expiration. Significant judgment is required in making this assessment and, to the extent that a reversal of any portion of our valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets is deemed appropriate, a tax benefit will be recognized against our provision for income taxes in the period of such reversal. Based on our evaluation and weighing of both positive and negative evidence, including our achievement of a cumulative three-year income position as of December 31, 2025 and forecasts of future operating results, as well as considering the utilization of net operating losses and tax credits prior to their expiration, management has continued to determine that there is sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets are realizable and therefore, we do not have a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets as described in "Note 10. Provision For Income Taxes", below. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance against our California state deferred tax assets and federal and state capital loss carryforwards.

We recognize tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the position. An adverse resolution of one or more of these uncertain tax positions in any period could have a material impact on the results of operations for that period.

**NOTE 2. SEGMENT REPORTING**

We operate in one business segment that focuses on the discovery, development and commercialization of new medicines for difficult-to-treat cancers. Our President and Chief Executive Officer, as the chief operating decision-maker, manages and allocates resources to our operations on a total consolidated basis. Consistent with this decision-making process, our President and Chief Executive Officer uses net income to monitor budget versus actual results for purposes of evaluating performance and to make decisions about the allocation of resources.

Our significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to our President and Chief Executive Officer and included in the measure of segment net income consist of consolidated expenses for our operational departments: drug discovery, development, and selling, general and administrative and other segment items.

The segment and consolidated net income, including significant segment expenses were as follows (in thousands):

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $213.1 million, $351.9 million and $179.7 million, respectively, in revenues for performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. Such revenues were primarily related to the recognition of license revenues for the achievement of milestones and royalty payments allocated to our license performance obligations for our collaborations with Ipsen and Takeda.

As of December 31, 2025, $21.5 million of the combined transaction prices for our Ipsen and Takeda collaborations were allocated to research and development services performance obligations that had not yet been satisfied. See "Note 4. Collaboration Agreements and Business Development Activities — Cabozantinib Commercial Collaborations — *Performance Obligations and Transaction Prices for our Ipsen and Takeda Collaborations"* for additional information about the expected timing to satisfy these performance obligations.

**NOTE 4. COLLABORATION AGREEMENTS AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES**

We have established multiple collaborations with leading biopharmaceutical companies for the commercialization and further development of our cabozantinib franchise. Additionally, we have made considerable progress under our existing research collaboration and in-licensing arrangements to further enhance our early-stage pipeline and expand our ability to discover, develop and commercialize novel therapies with the goal of providing new treatment options for cancer patients. Historically, we also entered into other collaborations with leading biopharmaceutical companies pursuant to which we out-licensed other compounds and programs in our portfolio.

Under these collaborations, we are generally entitled to receive milestone and royalty payments, and for certain collaborations, to receive payments for product supply services, development cost reimbursements, and/or profit-sharing payments. See "Note 3. Revenues" for additional information on revenues recognized under our collaboration agreements during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

**Cabozantinib Commercial Collaborations**

***Ipsen Collaboration***

*Description of the Collaboration*

In February 2016, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Ipsen, which was subsequently amended, for the commercialization and further development of cabozantinib. Under the collaboration agreement, as amended, Ipsen received exclusive commercialization rights for current and potential future cabozantinib indications outside of the U.S. and Japan. We have also agreed to collaborate with Ipsen on the development of cabozantinib for current and potential future indications. The parties' efforts are governed through a joint steering committee and appropriate subcommittees established to guide and oversee the collaboration's operation and strategic direction; provided, however, that we retain final decision-making authority with respect to cabozantinib's ongoing development.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, Ipsen opted into and is now co-funding the development costs for CABINET, a phase 3 pivotal study that evaluated cabozantinib versus placebo in patients with either advanced pNET) or advanced epNET who experienced progression after prior systemic therapy. Under the terms of the agreement, Ipsen is now obligated to reimburse us for its share of the CABINET global development costs. We determined that Ipsen's decision to opt into and co-fund the development costs for CABINET represented a contract modification for additional distinct services at its standalone selling price and therefore was treated as a separate contract under Topic 606. Accordingly, collaboration services revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 includes a cumulative catch-up for Ipsen's share of global development costs incurred since the beginning of the study and through the opt-in date.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, the collaboration and license agreement with Ipsen was amended and restated to, among other things, modify the amount of reimbursements we receive for costs associated with pharmacovigilance activities. The change in transaction price represents a contract modification related to an ongoing performance obligation that was not distinct from services previously provided and, therefore, was treated as a modification of an existing contract under Topic 606. Accordingly, collaboration services revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 includes a retrospective cumulative catch-up adjustment for the reduction in the transaction price based on an input-based measure of progress, which was not material.

Unless earlier terminated, the collaboration agreement has a term that continues, on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis, until the latter of (1) the expiration of patent claims related to cabozantinib, (2) the expiration of regulatory exclusivity covering cabozantinib or (3) ten years after the first commercial sale of cabozantinib, other than

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

COMETRIQ. A related supply agreement will continue in effect until expiration or termination of the collaboration agreement. The collaboration agreement may be terminated for cause by either party based on uncured material breach of either the collaboration agreement or the supply agreement by the other party, bankruptcy of the other party or for safety reasons. We may terminate the collaboration agreement if Ipsen challenges or opposes any patent covered by the collaboration agreement. Ipsen may terminate the collaboration agreement if the FDA or European Medicines Agency (EMA) orders or requires substantially all cabozantinib clinical trials to be terminated. Ipsen also has the right to terminate the collaboration agreement on a region-by-region basis after the first commercial sale of cabozantinib in advanced RCC in the given region. Upon termination by either party, all licenses granted by us to Ipsen will automatically terminate, and, except in the event of a termination by Ipsen for our material breach, the licenses granted by Ipsen to us shall survive such termination and shall automatically become worldwide, or, if Ipsen were to terminate only for a particular region, then for the terminated region. Following termination by us for Ipsen's material breach, or termination by Ipsen without cause or because we undergo a change of control by a party engaged in a competing program, Ipsen is prohibited from competing with us for a period of time.

*Consideration under the Collaboration* 

In consideration for the exclusive license and other rights contained in the collaboration agreement, including commercialization rights in Canada, we received aggregate upfront payments of $210.0 million from Ipsen in 2016. As of December 31, 2025, we have achieved aggregate milestones of $659.2 million related to regulatory, development and sales-based threshold by Ipsen since the inception of the collaboration agreement, including $5.0 million and $164.7 million in milestone payments achieved during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025, we are eligible to receive an additional regulatory milestone payment from Ipsen of $2.0 million as well as sales-based milestones of up to $200.0 million and CAD$23.5 million. We excluded these milestone payments from the transaction price as of December 31, 2025 because we determined such payments to be fully constrained under Topic 606 due to the fact that it was not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue would not occur, given the inherent uncertainty of success with these milestones. We will adjust the constraint applied to the variable consideration at each reporting period as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur. See *"—Performance Obligations and Transaction Prices for our Ipsen and Takeda Collaborations*," below, for additional information related to the revenue recognition for this collaboration.

We also receive royalty revenues on the net sales of cabozantinib by Ipsen outside of the U.S. and Japan. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and going forward, we are entitled to receive a tiered royalty of 22% to 26% on annual net sales, with separate tiers for Canada; these royalty tiers reset each calendar year.

Any variable consideration related to royalties and sales-based milestones will be recognized when the related sales occur as these amounts have been determined to relate to the relevant transferred license and therefore are recognized as the related sales occur.

We are required to pay a 3% royalty on all net sales of any product containing cabozantinib, including net sales by Ipsen.

We are responsible for funding cabozantinib-related development costs for those trials in existence at the time we entered into the collaboration agreement with Ipsen; global development costs for additional trials are shared between the parties, with Ipsen reimbursing us for 35% of such costs, provided Ipsen chooses to opt into such trials. Ipsen has opted into and is co-funding certain clinical trials, including: CheckMate -9ER, COSMIC-021, COSMIC-311, COSMIC-312, CONTACT-01, CONTACT-02 and CABINET.

We remain responsible for manufacturing and supply of cabozantinib for all development and commercialization activities under the collaboration agreement. Relatedly, we entered into a supply agreement with Ipsen to supply finished, labeled drug product to Ipsen for distribution in the territories outside of the U.S. and Japan for the term of the collaboration agreement as well as a quality agreement that provides respective quality responsibilities for the aforementioned supply. The product is supplied at our cost, as defined in the agreement. This agreement also requires us to maintain the global safety database for cabozantinib. To meet our obligations to regulatory authorities for the reporting of safety data from territories outside of U.S. and Japan from sources other than our sponsored global clinical development trials, we rely on data collected and reported to us by Japan.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized $4.3 million in license revenues and $0.4 million in collaboration services revenues in connection with a $5.0 million regulatory milestone payment, upon approval by the European Commission for the treatment of patients with either advanced pNET or advanced epNET. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized $150.0 million in license revenues related to a commercial milestone from Ipsen upon its achievement of $600.0 million in cumulative net sales of cabozantinib over four consecutive quarters in its related Ipsen license territory and $2.2 million in license revenues for a commercial milestone from Ipsen upon its achievement of CAD$30.0 million in cumulative net sales of cabozantinib over four consecutive quarters in Canada. In addition, we recognized $10.8 million in license revenues and $0.6 million in collaboration services revenues, in connection with a $12.5 million regulatory milestone payment, upon submission of a variation application to the EMA for evaluating cabozantinib versus placebo in patients with either advanced pNET or advanced epNET.

***Takeda Collaboration***

*Description of the Collaboration*

In January 2017, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Takeda, which was subsequently amended, to, among other things, modify the amount of reimbursements we receive, for costs associated with our required pharmacovigilance activities and milestones we are eligible to receive, as well as modify certain cost-sharing obligations related to the Japan-specific development costs associated with CONTACT-01 and CONTACT-02 for the commercialization and further development of cabozantinib. Under the collaboration agreement, as amended, Takeda received exclusive commercialization rights for current and potential future cabozantinib indications in Japan, and the parties have agreed to collaborate on the clinical development of cabozantinib in Japan. The operation and strategic direction of the parties' collaboration is governed through a joint executive committee and appropriate subcommittees.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, the collaboration and license agreement with Takeda was further amended to, among other things, grant Exelixis the right to develop and commercialize a competing product in Japan and modify certain cost sharing and milestone payments that may become payable if Takeda opts in to certain studies. We determined that this amendment represented a contract modification related to ongoing performance obligations that were not distinct from services previously provided and, therefore, was accounted for as a modification of an existing contract under Topic 606. As a result of the modification, we reallocated the revenues previously recognized and the remaining transaction price to the identified performance obligations in the modified contract based on their estimated relative standalone selling prices at the modification date. The standalone selling price of the license was estimated using a discounted cash flow model of projected income and costs, while the standalone selling prices of the research and development performance obligations were estimated based on costs incurred to date and projected future development costs over the term of the arrangement. The portion of the transaction price allocated to the license performance obligation was recognized immediately, as the license represents functional intellectual property transferred at a point in time. The portion allocated to the research and development services performance obligations is recognized over time using an input-based measure of progress. As a result, a retrospective catch-up adjustment under Topic 606, which was not material, was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, resulting in an increase in license revenues and a decrease in collaboration services revenues.

Takeda is responsible for a portion of the costs associated with the cabozantinib development plan's current and future trials, provided Takeda opts into such trials, and 100% of costs associated with the cabozantinib development activities that are exclusively for the benefit of Japan. Takeda has opted into and is co-funding CheckMate -9ER, certain cohorts of COSMIC-021, CONTACT-01 and CONTACT-02. Under the collaboration agreement, as amended, Takeda has exclusive commercialization rights for current and potential future cabozantinib indications in Japan, and the parties have agreed to collaborate on the clinical development of cabozantinib in Japan. The operation and strategic direction of the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

parties' collaboration is governed through a joint executive committee and appropriate subcommittees.

Unless earlier terminated, the collaboration agreement has a term that continues, on a product-by-product basis, until the earlier of (1) two years after first generic entry with respect to such product in Japan or (2) the later of (A) the expiration of patent claims related to cabozantinib and (B) the expiration of regulatory exclusivity covering cabozantinib in Japan. The collaboration agreement may be terminated for cause by either party based on uncured material breach by the other party, bankruptcy of the other party or for safety reasons. We may terminate the agreement if Takeda challenges or opposes any patent covered by the collaboration agreement. After the commercial launch of cabozantinib in Japan, Takeda may terminate the collaboration agreement upon twelve months' prior written notice following the third anniversary of the first commercial sale of cabozantinib in Japan. Upon termination by either party, all licenses granted by us to Takeda will automatically terminate, and the licenses granted by Takeda to us shall survive such termination and shall automatically become worldwide.

*Consideration under the Collaboration* 

In consideration for the exclusive license and other rights contained in the collaboration agreement, we received an upfront payment of $50.0 million from Takeda in 2017. As of December 31, 2025, we have also achieved regulatory, development and commercial milestones in the aggregate of $138.0 million since the inception of the collaboration agreement, including $11.0 million in milestones achieved during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Under the collaboration agreement, as amended, we are eligible to receive additional regulatory and development milestone payments, without contractual limit, for additional potential future indications. We are further eligible to receive commercial milestone payments, including milestone payments earned for the first commercial sale of a product, of $108.0 million. We excluded these milestone payments from the transaction price as of December 31, 2025 because we determined such payments to be fully constrained under Topic 606 due to the fact that it was not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue would not occur, given the inherent uncertainty of success with these milestones. We will adjust the constraint applied to the variable consideration at each reporting period as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.

We also receive royalty revenues on the net sales of cabozantinib in Japan. We are entitled to receive a tiered royalty of 15% to 24% on the initial $300.0 million of net sales, and following this initial $300.0 million of net sales, we are then entitled to receive a tiered royalty of 20% to 30% on annual net sales thereafter; these 20% to 30% royalty tiers reset each calendar year. Any variable consideration related to royalties and sales-based milestones will be recognized when the related sales occur as these amounts have been determined to relate to the relevant transferred license and therefore are recognized as the related sales occur.

We are required to pay a 3% royalty on all net sales of any product containing cabozantinib, including net sales by Takeda.

Under the collaboration agreement, we are responsible for the manufacturing and supply of cabozantinib for all development and commercialization activities under the collaboration agreement. Relatedly, we entered into a clinical supply agreement covering the supply of cabozantinib to Takeda for the term of the collaboration agreement, as well as a quality agreement that provides respective quality responsibilities for the aforementioned supply. Furthermore, at the time we entered into the collaboration agreement, the parties also entered into a safety data exchange agreement, which defines each partner's responsibility for safety reporting. This agreement also requires us to maintain the global safety database for cabozantinib. To meet our obligations to regulatory authorities for the reporting of safety data from Japan from sources other than our sponsored global clinical development trials, we rely on data collected and reported to us by Takeda.

***Performance Obligations and Transaction Prices for our Ipsen and Takeda Collaborations***

There is one remaining performance obligation for the Ipsen collaboration agreement: the research and development services, which includes certain committed studies for the development of cabozantinib, pharmacovigilance services and participation on various joint committees (as defined in the specific collaboration agreements). As part of the original contract, we also had a performance obligation associated with exclusive license for the commercialization and further development of cabozantinib, which was transferred in 2016.

There are two remaining performance obligations for the Takeda collaboration agreement: (1) the research and development services, which includes certain committed studies for the development of cabozantinib, pharmacovigilance services and participation on various joint committees (as defined in the specific collaboration agreements) and (2) the research and development services associated with CONTACT-01, CONTACT-02, and certain cohorts of COSMIC-021 studies. As part of the original contract, we had a performance obligation associated with the exclusive license for the commercialization and further development of cabozantinib, which was transferred in 2017.

We have allocated the transaction price for each of these collaborations to the originally identified performance obligations based on our best estimate of their relative standalone selling price. Any change to the transaction price resulting from a modification is allocated to the remaining performance obligations at the modification date based on the relative standalone selling price of the identified modified performance obligations. For the licenses, the estimate of the relative standalone selling price was determined using a discounted cash flow valuation utilizing forecasted revenues and costs. For research and development services the estimate of the relative standalone selling price was determined using an adjusted market assessment approach that relies on internal and external costs and market factors.

The portion of the transaction price allocated to our license performance obligation is recorded immediately as our license represents functional intellectual property that was transferred at a point in time. The portion of the transaction price allocated to our research and development services performance obligation is being recognized as revenue using the inputs method based on our internal development projected cost estimates through the current estimated patent expiration of cabozantinib in the European Union for the Ipsen collaboration and Japan for the Takeda collaboration, both of which are early 2030.

We adjust the constraint applied to the variable consideration for the collaboration agreements in each reporting period as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur and we allocate those changes in the transaction price between our performance obligations. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the transaction price of the Ipsen and Takeda collaboration agreements increased, primarily as a result of the achievement of various milestones, and the reimbursements of research and development services related to committed and opt-in studies. We further updated the transaction price based upon the actual research and development services performed during the period and changes in our estimated reimbursements for our future research and development services. The portion of the increase in transaction price that was allocated to the previously satisfied performance obligations for the transfer of an intellectual property license was recognized during the period and the portion allocated to research and development services will be recognized in future periods as those services are delivered through early 2030. As of December 31, 2025, variable consideration related to the remaining unearned regulatory and development milestones for both agreements remained constrained due to the fact that it was not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue would not occur.

**Cabozantinib and Zanzalintinib Development Collaborations**

We have entered into multiple collaboration and supply agreements for the purpose of evaluating cabozantinib or zanzalintinib in various combination trials. Under these collaborations, clinical trials may be sponsored either by us or by our partners, and each party may supply its respective compound for use in the studies at no cost to the other. These arrangements fall within the scope of Topic 808 because they involve joint operating activities in which both parties actively participate and share significant risks and rewards. Payments exchanged between us and our collaborators under these agreements are not subject to other accounting literature. Amounts owed for our portion of clinical trial costs incurred by the collaborator are recorded as research and development expenses, while amounts due from the collaborator for their share of clinical trial costs that we incur are recorded as a reduction of research and development expenses.

***Royalty Pharma***

In October 2002, we established a product development and commercialization collaboration agreement with GlaxoSmithKline (now GSK plc, or GSK), that required us to pay a 3% royalty to GSK on the worldwide net sales of any product containing cabozantinib sold by us and our collaboration partners. Effective January 1, 2021, Royalty Pharma plc (Royalty Pharma) acquired from GSK all rights, title and interest in royalties on net product sales containing cabozantinib for non-U.S. markets for the full term of the royalty and for the U.S. market through September 2026, after which time U.S. royalties will revert back to GSK. Royalty fees earned by Royalty Pharma in connection with our sales of cabozantinib are included in cost of goods sold and as a reduction of collaboration services revenues for sales by our collaboration partners. Such royalty fees earned by Royalty Pharma were $86.5 million, $75.5 million and $68.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

**Research Collaborations, In-Licensing Arrangements and Other Business Development Activities**

We enter into collaborative arrangements with other pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies to develop and commercialize oncology assets or other intellectual property. Our research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements are intended to enhance our early-stage pipeline and expand our ability to discover, develop and commercialize novel therapies with the goal of providing new treatment options for cancer patients. Our research collaborations, in-licensing arrangements and other strategic transactions generally include upfront payments for the purchase or in-licensing of intellectual property, development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments and royalty payments, in each case contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events linked to the success of the asset in development. Certain of our research collaborations provide us exclusive options that give us the right to license programs or acquire the intellectual property developed under the research collaborations for further discovery and development. When we decide to exercise the options, we are required to pay an exercise fee and then assume the responsibilities for all subsequent development, manufacturing and commercialization.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $25.7 million, $69.2 million and $173.0 million, respectively, within research and development expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income, primarily related to upfront payments for the purchase or in-licensing of intellectual property, research and development funding and development milestone payments related to costs of intellectual property that have not yet reached technological feasibility and other fees.

As of December 31, 2025, in conjunction with these collaborative in-licensing arrangements and asset purchase agreements, we are subject to potential future development milestone payments of up to $441.5 million, regulatory milestone payments of up to $278.0 million, and commercial milestone payments of up to $2.5 billion, each in the aggregate per product or target, as well as royalties on future net sales of products.

There were 35 and 255 debt securities available-for-sale in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not record an allowance for credit losses or other impairment charges on our marketable securities. Based upon our quarterly impairment review, we determined that the unrealized losses were not attributed to credit risk but were primarily associated with changes in interest rates and market liquidity. Based on the scheduled maturities of our marketable securities, we determined that it was more likely than not that we will hold these marketable securities for a period of time sufficient for a recovery of our cost basis.

The fair values of debt securities available-for-sale by contractual maturity were as follows (in thousands):

**NOTE 6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS** 

Fair value reflects the amounts that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy has the following three levels:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments or on industry models using data inputs, such as interest rates and prices that can be directly observed or corroborated in active markets; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value measurement.

The classifications within the fair value hierarchy of our financial assets that were measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

When available, we value marketable securities based on quoted prices for those financial instruments, which is a Level 1 input. Our remaining marketable securities are valued using third-party pricing sources, which use observable market prices, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals for similar assets as observable inputs for pricing, which is a Level 2 input.

The carrying amount of our remaining financial assets and liabilities, which include cash, receivables and payables, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

**Forward Foreign Currency Contracts**

We may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes to hedge certain operational exposures for the changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro.

As of December 31, 2025, we had one forward contract outstanding to sell €3.4 million. The forward contract with a maturity of three months is recorded at fair value and is included in other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unrealized gain on the forward contract was immaterial as of December 31, 2025. The forward contract is considered a Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy of our fair value measurements. The net realized gains (losses) we recognized on the maturity of forward contracts were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on our forward contracts are included in other income (expenses), net on our Consolidated Statements of Income.

We have an equity incentive plan under which we grant stock options and RSUs, including market condition-based RSUs and PSUs to employees and directors. As of December 31, 2025, 15.8 million shares were available for grant under the Exelixis, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the 2017 Plan). The share reserve is reduced by 1 share for each share issued pursuant to a stock option and 2 shares for full value awards, including RSUs and PSUs.

The Board of Directors delegated responsibility for administration of our equity incentive plan to the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, including the authority to determine the term, exercise price and vesting requirements of each grant. Stock options granted to our employees and directors generally have a four-year vesting term and a one-year vesting term, respectively, an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant, and a seven-year life from the date of grant. RSUs granted to our employees and directors generally have a four-year vesting term and a one-year vesting term, respectively. PSUs granted pursuant to our equity incentive plans vest upon specified service conditions and the achievement of a performance target or market condition.

We have adopted a Change in Control and Severance Benefit Plan for certain executive officers. Eligible Change in Control and Severance Benefit Plan participants include employees with the title of vice president and above. If a participant's employment is terminated without cause during a period commencing three months before and ending fifteen months following a change in control, as defined in the plan document, then the Change in Control and Severance Benefit Plan participant is entitled to have the vesting of all their outstanding equity awards accelerated and the exercise period for their stock options extended to no more than one year.

We have an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended and restated, the Amended ESPP) that allows for qualified employees (as defined in the Amended ESPP) to purchase shares of our common stock at a price equal to the lower of 85% of the closing price at the beginning of the offering period or 85% of the closing price at the end of each six-month purchase period. As of December 31, 2025, we had 6.6 million shares available for issuance under our Amended ESPP. Pursuant to the Amended ESPP, we issued 0.4 million, 0.7 million and 0.9 million shares of common stock at an average price per share of $29.51, $18.23 and $14.56 during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash received from purchases under the Amended ESPP for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $13.1 million, $12.1 million and $12.7 million, respectively.

We used a Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model to value stock options and ESPP purchases. The weighted average grant-date fair value per share of stock options and ESPP purchases were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Stock options | $19.46 | $9.79 | $9.45 |
| ESPP | $10.03 | $6.39 | $4.67 |

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

The grant-date fair value of stock option grants and ESPP purchases was estimated using the following weighted average assumptions:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Stock options: |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Risk-free interest rate | 4.0% | 4.4% | 4.1% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dividend yield | —% | —% | —% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Volatility | 43% | 39% | 44% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expected life | 5.7 years | 5.6 years | 5.6 years |
| ESPP: |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Risk-free interest rate | 4.2% | 5.2% | 5.1% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dividend yield | —% | —% | —% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Volatility | 42% | 34% | 40% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expected life | 6 months | 6 months | 6 months |

---

We considered both implied and historical volatility in developing our estimate of expected volatility. The assumption for the expected life of stock options is based on historical exercise patterns and post-vesting termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury rates with the same or similar term as the underlying award. Our dividend rate is based on historical experience and our investors' current expectations.

The fair value of RSUs was based on the closing price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Activity for stock options, during the year ended December 31, 2025, was as follows (in thousands**,** except per share amounts):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Shares** | **Weighted Average Exercise Price** | **Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term** | **Aggregate Intrinsic Value** |

As of December 31, 2025, there was $0.9 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to our unvested stock options. The compensation expense for the unvested stock options will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between our closing stock price on the last trading day of fiscal year 2025 and the exercise prices, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options) that would have been received by the stock option holders had all stock option holders exercised their stock options on December 31, 2025. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $45.9 million, $16.7 million and $16.7 million, respectively. Cash received from stock option exercises during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $36.1 million, $49.6 million and $20.8 million, respectively.

In February 2025, we awarded to certain employees an aggregate of 1.0 million RSUs (the target number) that are subject to a total shareholder return (TSR) market condition and a time-based service condition (the 2025 TSR-based RSUs). The TSR market condition is based on our relative TSR percentile rank compared to companies in the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index during the performance period, which is January 4, 2025 through December 31, 2027. Depending on the results relative to the TSR market condition, the holders of the 2025 TSR-based RSUs may earn up to 175% of the target number of shares. Following achievement of the market condition at the end of the performance period and upon employee's continuous service through the vesting dates, 50% of the shares earned pursuant to the 2025 TSR-based RSUs will vest shortly after the end of the performance period, and the remainder will vest approximately one year later. The 2025 TSR-based RSUs will be forfeited if the market condition at or above a threshold level is not achieved, and/or the time-based service condition is not fulfilled, by the end of the performance period and through the vesting dates.

In March 2025 and September 2025, we awarded to employees an aggregate of 7.2 million RSUs that are subject to a stock price appreciation market condition and a time-based service condition (the 2025 stock price target-based RSUs). The market condition will be satisfied to the extent that the volume-weighted average closing price of our common stock for any consecutive 90-calendar-day period equals or exceeds $60 per share on any day during the performance period, which is March 31, 2025 through March 31, 2030. Following achievement of the market condition, the 2025 stock price target-based RSUs will vest upon employee's continuous service through the end of the performance period on March 31, 2030 (the time-based service condition). The 2025 stock price target-based RSUs will be forfeited if the market condition at or above the target price is not achieved, and/or the time-based service condition is not fulfilled, by the end of the performance period.

In February 2024, we awarded to certain employees an aggregate of 1.3 million RSUs (the target number) that are subject to a total shareholder return (TSR) market condition (the 2024 TSR-based RSUs). The TSR market condition is based on our relative TSR percentile rank compared to companies in the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index during the performance period, which is December 30, 2023 through January 1, 2027. Depending on the results relative to the TSR market condition, the holders of the 2024 TSR-based RSUs may earn up to 175% of the target number of shares. 50% of the shares

earned pursuant to the 2024 TSR-based RSU awards will vest shortly after the end of the performance period, and the remainder will vest approximately one year later, subject to an employee's continuous service. These 2024 TSR-based RSUs will be forfeited if the market condition at or above a threshold level is not achieved, and/or the time-based service condition is not fulfilled, by the end of the performance period and through the vesting dates.

In April 2023, we awarded to certain employees an aggregate of 0.8 million RSUs (the target amount) that are subject to a TSR market condition (the 2023 TSR-based RSUs). The TSR market condition was based on our relative TSR percentile rank compared to companies in the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index during the performance period, which was December 31, 2022 through January 2, 2026. Depending on the results relative to the TSR market condition, the holders of the 2023 TSR-based RSUs could have earned up to 175% of the target number of shares. At the end of fiscal year 2025 (end of the performance period), the TSR market condition was achieved at 175% level, resulting in 1.0 million shares earned (175% of the 2023 TSR-based RSUs target amount, net of forfeitures). 50% percent of the shares earned subject to the market conditions vested shortly after the end of the performance period, and the remainder will vest approximately one year later, subject to an employee's continuous service.

We used a Monte Carlo simulation model and the following weighted-average assumptions to determine the weighted-average grant date fair value of $47.58 per share for the 2025 TSR-based RSUs, $25.26 per share for the 2025 stock price target-based RSUs, $20.19 per share for the 2024 TSR-based RSUs, and $26.05 per share for the 2023 TSR-based RSUs:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025 TSR-Based RSUs** | **2025 stock price target-based RSUs** | **2024 TSR-Based RSUs** | **2023 TSR-Based RSUs** |
| Fair value of Exelixis common stock on grant date | $37.53 | $37.09 | $21.71 | $19.48 |
| Expected volatility | 33% | 38% | 37% | 40% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.0% | 3.9% | 4.4% | 3.8% |
| Dividend yield | —% | —% | —% | —% |

---

The Monte Carlo simulation model assumed correlations of returns of the stock prices of Exelixis common stock and the common stock of a peer group of companies and historical stock price volatility of the peer group of companies. The valuation model also used terms based on the length of the performance period and compound annual growth rate goals for TSR based on the provisions of the awards. The Monte Carlo simulation model for our 2025 stock price target-based RSUs assumed historical stock price volatility and compounded risk-free rate over the remaining length of the performance period. Stock-based compensation related to RSUs with a market condition is recognized regardless of the outcome of the market condition.

**Exelixis, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the 401(k) Plan)**

We sponsor the 401(k) Plan under which we make matching cash contributions to our employees' 401(k) accounts. We recorded compensation expense of $12.8 million, $15.0 million and $13.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for matching contributions.

**Common Stock Repurchases**

In August 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (SRP) to acquire up to $500.0 million of our outstanding common stock before December 31, 2025. In February 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $500.0 million of our outstanding common stock before December 31, 2025. In October 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $750.0 million of our common stock before December 31, 2026 (the October 2025 SRP). As of December 31, 2025, we have repurchased 30.2 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,159.7 million under these SRPs and have completed the SRPs authorized in August 2024 and February 2025. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $590.2 million remained available under the October 2025 SRP for future stock repurchases before December 31, 2026.

Stock repurchases under these SRPs may be made from time to time through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, in block trades, Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, accelerated share repurchase transactions, exchange transactions, or any combination of such methods. The timing and amount of any stock repurchases under the SRPs will be based on a variety of factors, including ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, alternative

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we continue to carry a valuation allowance of $87.7 million and $86.0 million, respectively, against our California state deferred tax assets and federal and state capital loss carryforwards. The valuation allowance increased by $1.6 million and $3.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

At December 31, 2025, we had state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $407.2 million, which expire in the years 2028 through 2039, and California research and development tax credits of approximately $56.9 million, which do not expire.

Under the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions, certain substantial changes in our ownership could result in an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss and credit carryforwards that can be utilized in future years to offset future taxable income. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credit carryforwards before utilization. We completed a Section 382 analysis through December 31, 2025, and concluded that an ownership change, as defined under Section 382, had not occurred.

The following table summarizes the activity related to our unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2025, we had $111.9 million in unrecognized tax benefits, of which $54.9 million would reduce our income tax provision and effective tax rate, if recognized. We have elected to record interest and penalties in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of provision for income taxes. In the year ended December 31, 2025, the total amount of gross interest and penalties accrued was $15.1 million. In the year ended December 31, 2024, the total amount of gross interest and penalties accrued was $8.1 million. In the year ended December 31, 2023, interest and penalties were nominal. Both the unrecognized tax benefits and the associated interest and penalties

are not expected to result in payment or receipt of cash within one year and are therefore classified as other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We file U.S. and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statues of limitations during which such tax returns may be audited and adjusted by the relevant tax authorities. The tax years 2006 and onwards generally remain subject to examination by federal and most state tax authorities to the extent net operating losses and credits generated during these periods are being utilized in the open tax periods.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law on July 4, 2025, which, among other provisions, permanently repeals the requirement to capitalize domestic R&E expenditures for federal income tax purposes for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024, and allows for the accelerated deduction of any remaining unamortized domestic R&E expenditures. Foreign R&E expenditures are still required to be capitalized and amortized ratably over 15 years. The impact of the OBBBA must be recognized in the period of enactment under ASC 740, Income Taxes. The impact of this OBBBA provision has resulted in a $191.0 million reduction of our federal deferred tax assets at the end of the fiscal year 2025. The other provisions of the OBBBA had minimal impact to our federal income tax provision and federal deferred tax assets.

**NOTE 11. NET INCOME PER SHARE**

Net income per share - basic and diluted, were computed as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |

| Numerator: |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net income | $782570 | $521267 | $207765 |
| Denominator: |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Weighted-average common shares outstanding - basic | 271567 | 290030 | 318151 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dilutive securities | 10296 | 6102 | 3313 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Weighted-average common shares outstanding - diluted | 281863 | 296132 | 321464 |
| Net income per share - basic | $2.88 | $1.80 | $0.65 |
| Net income per share - diluted | $2.78 | $1.76 | $0.65 |

---

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common shares outstanding includes the dilutive effect of in-the-money options, unvested RSUs (including market conditions-based RSUs), and unvested PSUs when the performance condition is met and ESPP contributions. The dilutive effect of such equity awards is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method.

Certain potential common shares were excluded from our calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding - diluted because either they would have had an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share or they were related to shares from PSUs or from market conditions-based RSUs that were contingently issuable and the contingency had not been satisfied at the end of the reporting period.

The weighted-average potential common shares excluded from our calculation were as follows (in thousands):

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |

| Anti-dilutive securities and contingently issuable shares excluded | 1,884 | 5,708 | 11,703 |

**NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

**Leases**

We have operating leases for our corporate headquarters in Alameda, California and in Greater Philadelphia area which includes both office and laboratory space totaling approximately 639,000 square feet with lease terms ending in 2026 through 2037. Certain of our leases include options to renew the lease or to early terminate the lease. As of December 31, 2025, we considered whether these options to renew or early terminate were reasonably certain of exercise in determining the related lease terms.

**Impairment of Long-Lived Assets**

In connection with our 2024 Plan, as discussed in "Note 13. Restructuring", we exited two leases in the Greater Philadelphia area pertaining to approximately 40,000 square feet of leased premises and performed an impairment analysis for these asset groups, primarily composed of right-of-use assets, leasehold improvements, and certain property and equipment. We reassessed the lease term for one of the leases in the Greater Philadelphia area and concluded we were reasonably certain to exercise our right to early terminate the lease and reduced our right-of-use asset and lease liability by $3.3 million. In connection with the 2024 Plan, we recognized $12.7 million of non-cash impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2024, to reduce the carrying value of these long-lived assets at their fair value. The impairment charge is presented in restructuring in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

During fiscal 2024, we evaluated our plans for the Alameda leased facilities and listed certain buildings for sublease. As a result, we determined the related right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements should be evaluated for impairment as separate asset groups. We concluded that these asset groups were not recoverable and we recognized $51.7 million of non-cash impairment charge and reduced the carrying value of our right-of-use assets pertaining to approximately 215,000 square feet of leased premises, reduced the leasehold improvements and certain property and equipment, to their estimated fair value. The estimated fair value was determined using an income approach comprised of projected discounted cash flows that included certain Level 3 inputs, such as sublease income and discount rates. The assumptions associated with sublease income and discount rates are subject to risks and uncertainties and could materially differ from our estimates. The impairment charge is presented in impairment of long-lived assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

**Legal Proceedings**

***MSN ANDA Litigation***

In September 2019, we received a notice letter regarding an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) submitted to the FDA by MSN Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (individually and collectively with certain of its affiliates, including MSN Laboratories Private Limited, referred to as MSN), requesting approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. MSN's initial notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to our U.S. Patents No. 8,877,776, salt and polymorphic forms (the '776 Patent), 9,724,342, formulations (the '342 Patent), 10,034,873, methods of treatment (the '873 Patent), and 10,039,757, methods of treatment (the '757 Patent), which are listed in the Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, also referred to as the Orange Book, for CABOMETYX. MSN's initial notice letter did not provide a Paragraph IV certification against U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473, composition of matter (the '473 Patent) or 8,497,284, methods of treatment (the '284 Patent), each of which is listed in the Orange Book. On October 29, 2019, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the Delaware District Court) for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of the '776 Patent arising from MSN's ANDA filing with the FDA. On November 20, 2019, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the '776 Patent are invalid and not infringed. On May 5, 2020, we received notice from MSN that it had amended its ANDA to include additional Paragraph IV certifications and to request approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to expiration of the two previously unasserted '473 and '284 Patents. On May 11, 2020, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of these patents, and on May 22, 2020, MSN filed its response, alleging that the asserted claims of these patents are invalid and not infringed. On March 23, 2021, MSN filed its First Amended Answer and Counterclaims (amending its prior filing from May 22, 2020), seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment that U.S. Patent No. 9,809,549, salt and polymorphic forms (the '549 Patent) is invalid and would not be infringed by MSN if its generic version of CABOMETYX tablets were approved by the FDA. This '549 Patent is not listed in the Orange Book. On April 7, 2021, we filed our response to MSN's First Amended Answer and Counterclaims, denying,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i769526639c9e42a5afe633a3dbcb0d29_7)</u>

among other things, that the '549 Patent is invalid or would not be infringed. The two lawsuits comprising this litigation (collectively referred to as MSN I), numbered Civil Action Nos. 19-02017 and 20-00633, were consolidated in April 2021.

A bench trial for MSN I occurred in May 2022, and on January 19, 2023, the Delaware District Court issued a ruling rejecting MSN's invalidity challenge to the '473 Patent. The Delaware District Court also ruled that MSN's proposed ANDA product does not infringe the '776 Patent. In accordance with these rulings, the Delaware District Court entered judgment that the effective date of any final FDA approval of MSN's ANDA shall not be a date earlier than August 14, 2026, the expiration date of the '473 Patent. Final judgment was entered on January 30, 2023. This ruling in MSN I did not impact our separate MSN II lawsuit (as defined below).

On January 11, 2022, we received notice from MSN that it had further amended its ANDA to assert additional Paragraph IV certifications. In particular, the January 11, 2022 amended ANDA requested approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to expiration of three previously-unasserted CABOMETYX patents that are now listed in the Orange Book: U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, crystalline salt forms (the '439 Patent), 11,091,440, pharmaceutical composition (the '440 Patent), and 11,098,015, methods of treatment (the '015 Patent). On February 23, 2022, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of the '439, '440, and '015 Patents arising from MSN's further amendment of its ANDA filing with the FDA. On February 25, 2022, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the '439, '440, and '015 Patents are invalid and not infringed. On June 7, 2022, we received notice from MSN that it had further amended its ANDA to assert an additional Paragraph IV certification. As currently amended, MSN's ANDA now requests approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to expiration of a previously-unasserted CABOMETYX patent that is now listed in the Orange Book: U.S. Patent No. 11,298,349, pharmaceutical composition (the '349 Patent). On July 18, 2022, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of the '349 Patent arising from MSN's further amendment of its ANDA filing with the FDA. On August 9, 2022, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the '349 Patent are invalid and not infringed and amended its challenges to the '439, '440, and '015 Patents to allege that these patents are not enforceable based on equitable grounds. The two lawsuits comprising this litigation (collectively referred to as MSN II), numbered Civil Action Nos. 22-00228 and 22-00945, were consolidated in October 2022 and involve Exelixis patents that are different from those asserted in the MSN I litigation described above.

On June 21, 2022, pursuant to a stipulation between us and MSN, the Delaware District Court entered an order that (i) MSN's submission of its ANDA constitutes infringement of certain claims relating to the '439, '440, and '015 Patents, if those claims are not found to be invalid, and (ii) upon approval, MSN's commercial manufacture, use, sale or offer for sale within the U.S., and importation into the U.S., of MSN's proposed ANDA product prior to the expiration of these patents would also infringe certain claims of each patent, if those claims are not found to be invalid. In our MSN II complaints, we sought, among other relief, an order that the effective date of any FDA approval of MSN's ANDA would be a date no earlier than the expiration of the '439, '440, '015, and '349 Patents, the latest of which expires on February 10, 2032, and equitable relief enjoining MSN from infringing these patents. On September 28, 2023, the Delaware District Court granted the parties' stipulation of dismissal of MSN's equitable defenses and counterclaims. A bench trial occurred in October 2023, and on October 15, 2024, the Delaware District Court issued a ruling rejecting MSN's invalidity challenge to each of the '439, '440, and '015 Patents. The Delaware District Court also ruled that the '349 Patent is not invalid and that MSN's proposed ANDA product does not infringe this patent. In accordance with these rulings, the Delaware District Court entered final judgment on October 23, 2024, that, should the FDA ultimately approve MSN's ANDA, the effective date of any such approval of MSN's ANDA shall not be a date earlier than January 15, 2030, the expiration date of each of the '439, '440, and '015 Patents, subject to our potential additional regulatory exclusivity.

On November 22, 2024, MSN noticed an appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) and we noticed a cross-appeal on November 26, 2024. On April 1, 2025, MSN filed its Opening Brief arguing that the asserted claims of the '439, '440, '015, and '349 Patents are invalid. On June 10, 2025, the CAFC granted our request to dismiss our cross-appeal. On June 11, 2025, we filed our Response Brief. On August 1, 2025, MSN filed its Reply Brief.

In February 2025, we received another notice letter from MSN regarding its ANDA, requesting FDA approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. MSN's notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to Orange Book-listed patent U.S. Patent No. 12,128,039, low impurity (the '039 Patent), which expires in 2032. On March 19, 2025, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of this patent arising from MSN's further amendment of its ANDA filing with the FDA. On April 10, 2025, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the '039 Patent are invalid, unenforceable, and not infringed. On May 1, 2025, we filed our answer to MSN's counterclaim. On August 18, 2025, pursuant to a stipulation between us and MSN, the Delaware District Court entered an order that (i) MSN's submission of its ANDA constitutes infringement of certain claims

relating to the '039 Patent, if those claims are not found to be invalid or unenforceable, and (ii) upon approval, MSN's commercial manufacture, use, sale or offer for sale within the U.S., and importation into the U.S., of MSN's proposed ANDA product prior to the expiration of the '039 Patent would also infringe certain claims of the patent, if those claims are not found to be invalid or unenforceable. This litigation has been consolidated with the Sun and Azurity litigations for the trial scheduled for November 2, 2026 (Consolidated Litigation). For additional information on the Consolidated Litigation, see "– Legal Proceedings – Consolidated Litigation."

***Sun ANDA Litigation***

On September 17, 2024, we received a notice letter regarding an ANDA submitted to the FDA by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Sun), requesting approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. Sun's notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to the '776 Patent, the '342 Patent, the '873 Patent, the '757 Patent, the '439 Patent, the '440 Patent, the '015 Patent, and the '349 Patent, which are listed in the Orange Book, for CABOMETYX. On October 30, 2024, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against Sun asserting infringement of the '776, '439, '440, and '015 Patents. On January 22, 2025, Sun filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the patents at issue are invalid and not infringed. Sun also filed counterclaims that, inter alia, seek a declaratory judgment that Sun's ANDA would not infringe any valid and enforceable claim of the '776, '439, '440, '015, '342, '873, '757, and '349 Patents. On March 14, 2025, we filed our answer to Sun's counterclaims.

In February 2025, we received another notice letter from Sun regarding its ANDA, requesting FDA approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. Sun's notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to Orange Book-listed '039 Patent, which expires in 2032. On April 4, 2025, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against Sun asserting infringement of the '039 Patent arising from Sun's amendment of its ANDA filing with the FDA. On June 9, 2025, Sun filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the '039 Patent are invalid, unenforceable, and not infringed. On June 30, 2025, we filed our answer to Sun's counterclaim.

These Sun litigations were consolidated in the Consolidated Litigation.

In December 2025, we entered into a settlement agreement (Sun Settlement Agreement) with Sun. In accordance with the Sun Settlement Agreement, the parties terminated all ongoing Hatch-Waxman litigation between Exelixis and Sun regarding CABOMETYX patents pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. These Sun litigations were terminated on December 30, 2025. On December 30, 2025, in accordance with the Sun Settlement Agreement, Sun was dismissed from the Consolidated Litigation.

***Azurity 505(b)(2) NDA Litigation***

In March 2025, we received a notice letter regarding a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (505(b)(2)) submitted to the FDA by Azurity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Azurity), requesting approval to market cabozantinib tablets. Azurity's notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to the '776 Patent, the '342 Patent, the '873 Patent, the '757 Patent, the '439 Patent, the '440 Patent, the '015 Patent, the '349 Patent, and the '039 Patent which are listed in the Orange Book, for CABOMETYX. On April 18, 2025, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against Azurity asserting infringement of the '776, '439, '440, '015, '349, and '039 Patents. On April 24, 2025, we filed our First Amended Complaint alleging infringement of the same patents. On June 11, 2025, Azurity filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the patents at issue are not infringed and/or invalid. On July 2, 2025, we filed our answer to Azurity's counterclaims. On July 28, 2025 Azurity filed motions for judgment on the pleadings regarding the non-infringement of the '776, '439, '440, '015, '349, and '039 Patents. On August 25, 2025, we filed our answering briefs to Azurity's motions for judgment on the pleadings. On September 15, 2025, Azurity filed its reply briefs. This Azurity litigation was consolidated in the Consolidated Litigation.

***Consolidated Litigation***

On August 8, 2025, the Delaware District Court ordered that the then-pending abovementioned MSN, Sun, and Azurity district court litigations be consolidated with the trial scheduled for November 2, 2026. On December 30, 2025, in accordance with the Sun Settlement Agreement, Sun was dismissed from the Consolidated Litigation.

***Other***

In November 2025, we received a notice letter regarding a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application submitted to the FDA by Handa Oncology, LLC (Handa), requesting approval to market cabozantinib capsules (in the form of cabozantinib lauryl sulfate). Handa's notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to the '776 Patent, the '342 Patent, the '873 Patent, the '757 Patent, the '439 Patent, the '440 Patent, the '015 Patent, the '349 Patent, and the '039 Patent which are listed in the Orange Book, for CABOMETYX. Handa's notice letter also included a Paragraph III certification with respect to the '473 patent. The company continues to evaluate all legal and strategic options with respect to Handa's product.

The sale of any cabozantinib products, including tablets and/or capsules, besides CABOMETYX significantly earlier than CABOMETYX's patent expiration could decrease our revenues derived from the U.S. sales of CABOMETYX and thereby materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. It is not possible at this time to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate of the amount or range of any potential loss.

We may also from time-to-time become a party or subject to various other legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these proceedings have involved, and may involve in the future, claims that are subject to substantial uncertainties and unascertainable damages.

**NOTE 13. RESTRUCTURING**

In August 2025, our Board of Directors authorized, and we implemented, a corporate reorganization plan (the 2025 Plan) to reorganize our workforce and close our office located in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. Restructuring expenses incurred under the 2025 Plan are primarily severance and employee-related costs. The total restructuring costs, incurred during the year ended December 31, 2025, associated with the 2025 Plan were $20.5 million and are presented in the restructuring expense line item within our Consolidated Statements of Income. We incurred the majority of the costs related to the 2025 Plan during the third quarter of 2025 and substantially completed the 2025 Plan by the end of the fiscal year 2025.

The restructuring activities and balances as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, were as follows (in thousands):

In January 2024, our Board of Directors authorized, and we implemented, a corporate restructuring plan (the 2024 Plan) to reduce our workforce and rebalance our cost structure in alignment with our strategic priorities. Restructuring expenses incurred under the 2024 Plan included: severance and employee-related costs; impairment of long-lived assets; and contract termination and other exit costs. The total restructuring costs, incurred during the year ended December 31, 2024, associated with the 2024 Plan were $33.7 million in expenses and were recorded to the restructuring expense line item within our Consolidated Statements of Income as they were incurred through the end of the plan. We incurred the majority of the costs related to the 2024 Plan during the first quarter of 2024.

**Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.**

Not applicable.

**Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.**

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.*** Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) required by Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

***Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls.*** A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within an organization have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

***Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.*** Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our principal executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As of the end of our 2025 fiscal year, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in the original *Internal Control – Integrated Framework* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting as of January 2, 2026 was effective. There were no material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting identified by management.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Exelixis, Inc.

**Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

We have audited Exelixis, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of January 2, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Exelixis, Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 2, 2026, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of January 2, 2026 and January 3, 2025, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 2, 2026, and the related notes and our report dated February 10, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

**Basis for Opinion**

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Employee understands that in connection with this Section, Employee is permitted to disclose documents or other information as permitted by law, without giving notice to, or receiving authorization from Exelixis.

Laws and other applicable requirements.

**2.5No Implied Licenses; Negative Covenant.** Except as set forth in this

Agreement, neither Party shall acquire any license or other intellectual property interest, by

relevant Know-How or Patents, by providing Licensee with the substantive terms of the

applicable Third Party license agreement to Licensee, to the extent applicable to the rights that

would be sublicensed to Licensee, which Exelixis hereby agrees to do. Such Know-How and

Patents, to the extent falling within the definition of Exelixis Technology, will be sublicensed to

Licensee if Licensee provides Exelixis with written notice in which (i) Licensee consents to

adding such Patents and Know-How to the definition of Exelixis Technology, (ii) Exelixis and

**(i)**if such transaction constitutes a Change of Control of [ \* ], [ \* ]

shall have the right to terminate the Agreement as provided herein. [ \* ] shall have [ \* ]

following the announcement of such transaction to give written notice to [ \* ] of its intent to

terminate the Agreement, such termination to be effective [ \* ] after receipt of notice of

termination (but only after completion of the transaction with such entity having a Competing

Product) unless [ \* ] notifies [ \* ] within [ \* ] of receipt of the notice of termination of its

decision to (a) Divest any such Competing Product to a Third Party, (b) discontinue the

Competing Program, or (c) acting reasonably and in good faith agree with [ \* ] and such assignee

or new Affiliate to find a mutually acceptable agreement whereby they can, on compliance with

disposition shall be completed within [ \* ] of completion of any such sale or Change of Control

transaction. During the [ \* ], such assignee or new Affiliate (as the case may be) shall have the

right to continue the Competing Program and such continuation shall not constitute a breach of

such Party's exclusivity obligations set forth above; provided that such assignee or new Affiliate

the Competing Program to a Third Party, or (b) discontinue the Competing Program. During the

[ \* ] period, such assignee or new Affiliate (as the case may be) shall continue to fulfill its

obligations under this Agreement in all respects, shall conduct Competing Program activities

independently of the activities pursuant to this Agreement and shall not use any [ \* ] in the

**(iii)**if such transaction does not constitute a Change of Control of such

Party, then such Party and its new Affiliate shall have [ \* ] from the closing date of such

period, the Party's conduct of the Competing Program shall not deemed a breach of the

exclusivity obligations set forth above, provided that the Party continues to fulfill its obligations

under this Agreement in all respects, conducts its Competing Program activities independently of

the activities pursuant to this Agreement and does not use: (A) any [ \* ] or (B) [ \* ], in each case

in the conduct of such Competing Program. For clarity, if such Party completely winds down the

Competing Program within the [ \* ] time period, it shall be allowed to divest the Competing

Program later, provided that it does not restart the Competing Program.

As used in this Section 2.8(c), "**Change of Control**" means, with respect to a Party: (1) a

merger, reorganization or consolidation involving such Party in which the voting securities of

such Party outstanding immediately prior thereto cease to represent at least fifty percent (50%) of

the combined voting power of the surviving entity immediately after such merger, reorganization

or consolidation; or (2) a person or entity, or group of persons or entities acting in concert,

acquire more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting equity securities or management control of

**(e)**To enforce the Parties' respective obligations set forth in this Section

2.8(e), to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, neither Party shall, and shall ensure that its

respective Affiliates, permitted Sublicensees, and Third Party distributors will not, either directly

or indirectly, advertise, promote, or market Products, including via the Internet, to any Third

Party or place of business, residence, or shipping address in the other Party's territory for the

duration of the Royalty Term. The foregoing shall restrict either Party, to the extent permitted by

Applicable Law, from engaging in any form of direct or indirect solicitation, advertisement, or

promotion in the other Party's territory. Each Party shall promptly, without any right to

remuneration or compensation, forward to the other Party all inquiries regarding the Product by

of: (a) the Parties mutually agree to disband such Committee; or (b) Exelixis provides written

notice to Licensee of its intention to disband and no longer participate in such Committee. Once

the Parties mutually agree or Exelixis has provided written notice to disband such Committee,

such Committee shall have no further obligations under this Agreement and, thereafter, each

Party shall designate a contact person for the exchange of information under this Agreement or

such exchange of information shall be made through Alliance Managers, and decisions of such

Committee shall be decisions as between the Parties, subject to the other terms and conditions of

this Agreement.

**3.9Alliance Managers.** Promptly after the Effective Date, each Party shall appoint

an individual who shall be an employee of such Party having appropriate qualification and

experience to act as the alliance manager for such Party (the "**Alliance Manager**"). Each

Alliance Manager shall be responsible for coordinating and managing processes and interfacing

between the Parties on a day-to-day basis throughout the Term. The Alliance Manager will

ensure communication to the JSC of all relevant matters raised at the JDC, the JCC and at any

joint subcommittees and project teams. Each Alliance Manager shall be permitted to attend

meetings of the JSC and other Committees as appropriate as non-voting participants. The

Alliance Managers shall be the primary contact for the Parties regarding the activities

contemplated by this Agreement and shall facilitate all such activities hereunder. Each Party

may replace its Alliance Manager with an alternative representative at any time with prior

written notice to the other Party. Any Alliance Manager may designate a substitute to

temporarily perform the functions of that Alliance Manager. Each Alliance Manager shall be

**4. Development**

**4.1Overview.** Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Parties will

collaborate with respect to the Development of the Compound and Products and share the Data

resulting from such collaboration to facilitate the Development of the Compound and Products

throughout the Licensee Territory and the Exelixis Territory.

**4.2Development Plan**. The Development of the Compound and Products under this

Agreement (including the development of the Compound and any Product as a combination

product or combination therapy with another product and/or therapy), including Independent

Work and Licensee Only Development Work, shall be conducted only pursuant to a

comprehensive written global Development plan (the "**Global Development Plan**" or "**GDP**"),

which shall be incorporated by reference as part of this Agreement. The GDP shall set forth the

timeline and details (including line of therapy, tumor type, primary endpoints, approximate

patient size, combination agents and comparator agents) of all preclinical and clinical

Development activities to be conducted by the Parties as necessary to generate Data sufficient to

meet the common requirements of both the EMA and FDA for MAA Approval of the Compound

and Products for RCC, HCC, and other indications agreed upon by the Parties. The GDP may

also include any other Development activities approved by the JSC, including parameters for

permissible scientific inquiry in Phase 4 Clinical Trials. The GDP will include Clinical Trials

that the Parties are committed to conducting (unless modification is required by a Regulatory

Authority or any local or regional IRB/ethics committee, or is reasonably necessary to protect

patient safety) as well as Clinical Trials that will be decided by the JDC and JSC based on Data

and results obtained after the Effective Date and the Parties' review of the future competitive

landscape. The GDP shall include a coordinated Development and regulatory strategy, including

the Parties' respective roles in the Development of the registration dossier and Regulatory Filings

for the Products and the countries in which Development of the Products will occur. The GDP

shall also set forth the detailed budget of the anticipated costs for such Development activities

(the "**Development Budget**") on a study-by-study or Clinical Trial-by-Clinical Trial basis. As

of the Effective Date, the Parties have agreed upon an initial GDP and Development Budget,

attached to this Agreement as **<u>Exhibit D</u>**. If the terms of the GDP contradict, or create

inconsistencies or ambiguities with, the terms of this Agreement, then the terms of this

Agreement shall govern. From time to time during the Term (at least on [ \* ] basis), the JDC

shall prepare updates and amendments, as appropriate, to the then-current GDP, including

budgets, and shall submit such updates and amendments to the JSC for review and approval

before such updates and amendments are adopted. If upon the determination by the JDC as

reviewed and approved by the JSC, any pre-clinical, or Clinical Trials not included in the GDP

(i) are required in order to obtain and/or maintain MAA Approval for a Product in the EU and in

one or all the countries of the Exelixis Territory, or (ii) are otherwise recommended by the EMA

or the FDA in the EU and in one or all of the countries of the Exelixis Territory, then the JDC

shall review and recommend and the JSC shall review and approve an amendment to the GDP

reflecting such additional studies, including associated budget. The costs of such additional

studies shall be borne by the Parties as provided in Section 4.5(a).

**4.3Independent Work.** If either Party is interested in pursuing additional

Development work on a Product (the "**Developing Party**") for the benefit of the Exelixis

Territory (in the case of Exelixis) or the Licensee Territory (in the case of Licensee) beyond what

is set forth in the then current GDP, then such Party shall provide the other Party with a written

detailed plan and budget for such additional work (the "**Proposal**"). Within [ \* ] of receipt of the

Proposal, the JDC or delegated team shall meet to review the Proposal and to permit the other

Party ("**Non-Developing Party**") an opportunity to ask questions and request additional

information from the Developing Party related to the Proposal, including whether such Proposal

is reasonably likely to have a material and adverse effect on the Product in the Non-Developing

Party's territory. The Parties acknowledge that it is their intent to collaborate in good faith to

establish a similar review and approval process with any Future Exelixis Licensee. No additional

Development work shall proceed without the approval of the JSC, and following each such

approval such additional Development work and corresponding budget shall be incorporated into

the GDP by the JDC (the "**Newly-Proposed Development")**. For any Newly-Proposed

Development work, the Non-Developing Party that did not propose such work originally may

elect, at its discretion, to share the Development Costs with respect to such Development work

under Section 9.2(b). If the Non-Developing Party does not decide to pursue the Newly-

Proposed Development work jointly with the Developing Party or does not share the

Development Costs with respect to such Development work, in which event such Development

work shall be deemed "**Independent Work**" and the Developing Party may pursue such work in

the Field in its respective territory and the Development Costs with respect thereto shall be

deemed Independent Work Costs and subject to Sections 4.5(d) and 9.2(b). Notwithstanding the

foregoing, following the approval of the Independent Work by the JSC, the Party proposing the

Independent Work may conduct such Independent Work, provided that: (A) it shall do so in

accordance with the amended GDP; (B) such Independent Work shall be conducted under the

oversight of the JDC and the JSC; and (C) neither Party shall conduct Independent Work in a

manner that would have a material adverse effect on the Products in either Party's territory.

**4.4Annual Update to Development Budget.** The JDC shall discuss and agree upon

the subsequent year's Development Budget on an annual basis no later than November 1 of each

year. The JDC shall report any significant changes in the annual budgets to the JSC for approval

at the next scheduled JSC meeting.

**4.5Development Cost.**

**(a)Committed Studies As Of The Effective Date (Current Budget).**

Except as set forth in Section 4.5(b) below, Exelixis shall bear one hundred percent (100%) of all

Development Costs for the first [ \* ] dollars ($[ \* ]) of Development Costs for all Clinical Trials

that are committed studies in the GDP [ \* ] as of the Effective Date ("**Initial Committed**

**Studies**"). Thereafter, except as set forth in Section 4.5(b) below, (i) Exelixis shall bear sixty-

five percent (65%) and Licensee shall bear thirty-five percent (35%) of all Development Costs

for such Clinical Trials [ \* ] until the aggregate Development Costs of such Clinical Trials equals

[ \* ] dollars ($[ \* ]), and (ii) if aggregate Development Costs for such Clinical Trials [ \* ] exceed

[ \* ] dollars ($[ \* ]), Exelixis shall bear [ \* ] percent ([ \* ]%) and Licensee shall bear [ \* ] percent

([ \* ]%) of all remaining Development Costs for such Clinical Trials. For Clinical Trials that

become committed studies in the GDP after the Effective Date, Exelixis shall bear sixty-five

percent (65%) and Licensee shall bear thirty-five percent (35%) of all Development Costs of

such Clinical Trials. If Exelixis completes the Initial Committed Studies for an amount less than

[ \* ] dollars ($[ \* ]), any amount not spent ("**Excess Funds**") shall be credited against the Parties'

respective share of Clinical Trials that become committed studies in the GDP after the Effective

Date. Without limiting the foregoing, if any [ \* ].

**(b)Allowable Increases.** Separate from the cost allocation provided for in

Section 4.5(a), Exelixis shall bear sixty-five percent (65%) and Licensee shall bear thirty-five

percent (35%) of all Allowable Increases in Development Costs for all Clinical Trials that are

committed studies in the GDP as of the Effective Date. "Allowable Increases" are defined as

increased Development Costs resulting from (i) changes in study design after the Effective Date

that are approved by the JDC and JSC [ \* ] (up to the amount of a mutually-agreed budget

increase), (ii) changes in regulatory requirements arising after the Effective Date (including

changes required or recommended by Regulatory Authorities, but excluding changes required or

recommended specifically by a Regulatory Authority of the Exelixis Territory solely for the

benefit of the Exelixis Territory), and (iii) extensions in the duration of Clinical Trials resulting

from a lower than anticipated rate of clinical events or higher rates of survival.

**(c)Expanded Access Program 214.** Exelixis shall bear the first [ \* ] dollars

($[ \* ]) of Development Costs (excluding the costs of Licensee FTEs and other internal costs of

Licensee) associated with Expanded Access Program 214. Licensee shall bear one hundred

percent (100%) of its internal costs of such program, inclusive of its FTEs, as well as one

hundred percent (100%) of all Development Costs of such program in excess of the [ \* ] dollars

($[ \* ]) borne by Exelixis. If such program is completed for an amount of Development Costs

less than [ \* ] dollars ($[ \* ]), no financial adjustment shall be made.

conducting the Independent Work approved by the JSC under Section 4.3 shall be solely

responsible for the Development Costs with respect to such Independent Work, subject to

Section 9.2(c).

**(e)Country-Specific Development Work**. Notwithstanding Section 4.5(a),

each Party shall be solely responsible for all Development Costs with respect to Development

activities that are exclusively for the benefit of the countries within such Party's Territory,

including: (i) any and all country-specific activities (e.g., a Japan only trial for Exelixis or China

only trial and Canada Studies for Licensee, Expanded Access Programs); (ii) all Phase 4 Clinical

Trials solely benefiting such Party's territory; (iii) any and all Development activities required

for any pricing and/or reimbursement approvals in such Party's territory (but are not required for

the MAA Approval in such territory). The Development work set forth in this Section 4.5(e)

pertaining to Licensee shall be deemed the "**Licensee Only Development Work"** and the

Development work set forth in this Section 4.5(e) pertaining to Exelixis shall be deemed the

"**Exelixis Only Development Work."** All planned and in-process Licensee Only Development

Work and Exelixis Only Development Work shall be included in and conducted in accordance

with the GDP, to be performed reasonably and subject to the oversight of the JDC and the JSC.

**4.6Development Responsibilities.** The JDC shall reasonably allocate Development

responsibilities of the Compound and Products under the GDP between the Parties and such

allocation shall be set forth in the GDP, provided that: (a) Exelixis shall be the Sponsor and have

the operational responsibility for all Development work under the GDP that is ongoing as of the

Effective Date; (b) each Party shall have the operational responsibility for its own Independent

Work; and (c) Licensee shall be the Sponsor and have the operational responsibility for the

Licensee Only Development Work and Exelixis shall be the Sponsor and have the operational

obligations pursuant to Section 5.5, each Party shall promptly provide the other Party with (i)

[ \* ] status reports on trial recruitment and other metrics consistent with the performing Party's

internal reporting for clinical studies and Development activities, provided however that in case

of unexpected events that may have any impact on safety and recruitment, each Party shall

inform the other Party within forty-eight (48) hours from knowledge of the occurrence of such

event; (ii) supporting documentation (e.g. protocols, CRFs, analysis plans, etc.); (iii) preliminary

and final Data, and interim, preliminary and final results and reports; and (iv) output from

advisory committees and investigator meetings, any and all such documentation generated by

each Party (including by any Sublicensee or any Future Exelixis Licensee) from its Development

activities under this Agreement as such documentation could reasonably be deemed to affect the

Development or Commercialization activities of the Product in each Party's territory. As time

may be of the essence, each Party shall collaborate in good faith in the exchange of any such

Data set forth in this Section within [ \* ] of receipt. The Parties shall cooperate on a secure

website to facilitate the sharing of reports, Data and other information on a routine basis. Except

as set forth in Section 4.7(b) below, each Party shall have the right to use and reference, without

such inspections. In addition, Exelixis shall promptly notify Licensee of any such inspection and

shall supply Licensee with all information pertinent thereto. Exelixis shall use Commercially

Reasonable Efforts to allow a Licensee representative to attend any such inspection with the

presence of Exelixis.

**5.5Adverse Event Reporting; Pharmacovigilance Agreement.** Within sixty (60)

days after the Effective Date, but in any case prior to transfer of the marketing authorization, the

Parties shall enter into a pharmacovigilance agreement setting forth the worldwide

pharmacovigilance procedures for the Parties with respect to the Products, such as Safety Data

sharing, adverse events reporting and safety signal and risk management (the

"**Pharmacovigilance Agreement**"), which agreement shall be amended by the Parties [ \* ] to

comply with any changes in Applicable Laws or any guidance received from Regulatory

Authorities. Such procedures shall be in accordance with, and enable the Parties to fulfill, local

and national regulatory reporting obligations under Applicable Laws (including to the extent

applicable, those obligations contained in ICH guidelines, E2A, E2B, E2C, E2D and E2F) to

monitor the patients' safety. Exelixis has established and shall continue to hold at its costs and

expenses the global safety database for the Products, and shall maintain such global safety

database for so long as such Product is under Development and/or Commercialization by the

Parties. The Parties will collaboratively agree on data cut points for periodic aggregate safety

reports and Exelixis will author such reports; the Parties will jointly review and approve such

reports before submission to worldwide Regulatory Authorities as required. The Parties

acknowledge that the Parties amended the Pharmacovigilance Agreement to address the

modification to the Parties' respective territories as outlined in the First Amendment.

COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.

**(i)**From the Effective Date through [ \* ], Exelixis shall bear one

hundred percent (100%) of the cost and expense for establishing and maintaining such global

database and the preparation of periodic aggregate safety reports ("**PV Costs**").

**(ii)**For the [ \* ] commencing on [ \* ], Licensee shall pay Exelixis, as a

contribution towards the PV Costs, an amount equal to [ \* ] (the "**PV Contribution Fee**"), in the

**(iii)**For each Calendar Quarter commencing on [ \* ] through the end of

the Calendar Quarter in which the First LOE Event (as defined below) occurs, Licensee shall pay

Exelixis an amount equal to [ \* ] within [ \* ] of the end of such quarter, which amount shall be

invoiced and shall not be subject in any respect to audit or renegotiation; *provided, however,* that

in consideration of the entry into this Agreement as of the Restatement Date, for each Calendar

Year commencing on [ \* ], the PV Contribution Fee shall be reduced to [ \* ]. LOE Event, U.S.

LOE Event, EU LOE Event, First LOE Event and Second LOE Event shall be defined as

follows:

A.Loss of exclusivity ("**LOE**") occurs at the earliest of (i) the

Exelixis Patents or Licensee Patents covering the Product in

either the US or the EU, as applicable, [ \* ] and (ii) the first

time there is a Generic Entry with respect to such Product [ \* ].

For purposes of this definition, "**Generic Entry**" means, with

respect to a particular Product, that one or more Generic

Products to such Product [ \* ].

B.There are two separate LOE Events based on the following

Territories: the U.S. ("**U.S. LOE Event**"), and the EU ("**EU**

**LOE Event**").

C.The earliest to occur of either the U.S. LOE Event or the EU

LOE Event is the "**First LOE Event**." The latest to occur of

either the U.S. LOE Event or the EU LOE Event is the

"**Second LOE Event**."

**(iv)**For each Calendar Quarter following the First LOE Event through

the end of the Calendar Quarter in which the Second LOE Event occurs, Licensee shall pay

Exelixis an amount equal to [ \* ] within [ \* ] of the end of such quarter, which amount shall be

[ \* ] Calendar Quarters, and so on until the end of the Calendar Quarter in which the Second

LOE Event occurs.

**(v)**Further, for the sake of clarity, Licensee shall have no obligation to

pay Exelixis [ \* ] under this Section 5.5(a) for any Calendar Quarter from, and after, the end of

the Calendar Quarter in which the Second LOE Event occurs.

**(b)**Exelixis will ensure that each Party and any Future Exelixis Licensee are

able to access the data, if necessary indirectly, from the global safety database in order to meet

legal and regulatory obligations. The Parties agree that Exelixis shall not transfer the

responsibility or holding of the global safety database to any CRO, sublicensee, Future Exelixis

Licensee or any Third Party without Licensee's prior written consent and approval, which shall

not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if such transferee (and its Affiliates) is a

pharmaceutical company of comparable size as Licensee and agrees to grant Licensee access and

other rights to the global safety database substantially equivalent to those granted by Exelixis

under the Pharmacovigilance Agreement. The use by Exelixis of a CRO, sublicensee, Future

Exelixis Licensee shall be at Exelixis' sole cost and expenses.

**(c)**The JDC shall establish a joint safety subcommittee which shall have the

role and responsibility of reviewing and maintaining up to date the Pharmacovigilance

Agreement. As per the applicable Pharmacovigilance Agreement each Party shall be primarily

responsible for reporting quality complaints, adverse events and Safety Data related to the

Products to any Regulatory Authorities and responding to safety issues and to all requests of

Regulatory Authorities related to the Products under any MAA or Regulatory Approval for the

Product held by such Party and filed with such Regulatory Authorities, in each case at its own

cost. Each Party agrees to comply with its respective obligations under the Pharmacovigilance

Agreement and to cause its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees to comply with such

obligations.

**5.6No Harmful Actions**.If a Party believes that the other Party is taking or intends

to take any action with respect to a Product that could reasonably be expected to have a material

adverse impact upon the regulatory status of such Product in the first Party's territory, then such

Party may bring the matter to the attention of the JDC and the Parties shall discuss in good faith

to resolve such concern.

**5.7Notification of Threatened Action**. Each Party shall notify the other Party

within [ \* ] of any information it receives regarding any threatened or pending action, inspection

or communication by any Regulatory Authority, which may affect the safety or efficacy claims

arrive at a mutually acceptable procedure for taking appropriate action.

**5.8Right of Reference to Regulatory Materials.** Each Party hereby grants to the

other Party the right of reference to all Regulatory Filings pertaining to the Compound and

Products submitted by or on behalf of such Party. The receiving Party may use such right of

reference solely for the purpose of seeking, obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approval of

the Products for use in its territory in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, the receiving Party may use such right of reference to any Regulatory Filings based on

Data resulting from the other Party's Independent Work only to comply with its safety reporting

obligations, unless the receiving Party pays the other Party for such work pursuant to Section

9.2(c).

**5.9Recalls**. In the event that a recall, withdrawal or correction (including the

dissemination of relevant information) of any Product in a Party's territory is required by a

Regulatory Authority of competent jurisdiction, or if any Regulatory Authority requires or

advises either Party or such Party's Affiliates or Sublicensees to distribute a "Dear Doctor" letter

or its equivalent regarding use of such Product in a Party's territory or if a recall, withdraw or

correction of a Product in its territory is deemed advisable by such Party in its sole discretion,

such Party shall so notify the other Party no later than [ \* ] in advance of the earlier of (i)

initiation of a recall, withdrawal or correction; or (ii) the submission of plans for such an action

to a Regulatory Authority. Any such recall, withdrawal, correction, or dissemination of

Plan.

**6.3 Diligence.**

**(a)General.** During the Term, Licensee shall use Commercially Reasonable

Regulatory Approval throughout the Licensee Territory. In addition, and without limitation of

the foregoing, Licensee shall, as soon as possible following each MAA Approval(s), subject to

Section 6.4(b), launch the Product for such indication and obtain all necessary Price and

Reimbursement Approvals at least in [ \* ] (subject to the business judgment to delay or not to

launch a particular Product in a particular country of the EU because of adverse pricing or other

business considerations). In the event that Licensee recommends not to launch a particular

Product in a particular country of the Licensee Territory, or to deliberately defer such launch, it

shall advise the JCC at the next meeting of such Committee and provide a reasonably detailed

rationale for such determination. Thereafter, Licensee shall utilize Commercially Reasonable

Efforts in the ongoing support for the Product in each such country. Licensee shall report to the

JCC its efforts in each of these countries at least [ \* ] at meetings of the JCC [ \* ].

**(b)Additional Markets.** Promptly after the Effective Date, Licensee shall

commence preparation of a reasonably detailed Commercialization plan, sales forecast, and

launch timing for Commercialization of the Product, using Commercially Reasonable Efforts, in

**(c)Minimum Commercial Performance.** In addition to the foregoing

general commitments, and subject to Section 6.3(e), for each Calendar Year for [ \* ] full

Calendar Years commencing [ \* ], Licensee shall prepare a commercially reasonable forecast of

commercial sales of Product in the Licensee Territory ("**Sales Forecast**") and submit the Sales

Forecast to the JCC with sufficient time for the JCC to review and finalize such Sales Forecast

by [ \* ] of the year immediately preceding the year covered in such Sales Forecast. The Sales

Forecast shall be based upon the same market share trajectory as the Product achieved in the U.S.

for the same time period following Regulatory Approval (including Pricing and Reimbursement

Approval, if required) for each indication, as may be modified on the basis of other relevant

commercial considerations, including other comparable product experience in Europe compared

to the U.S. For the first [ \* ] Calendar Years following [ \* ], Sales Forecasts will be used solely

for management purposes and have no effect under this Agreement. If in any Calendar Year

during the remaining [ \* ] Calendar Years (the "**Minimum Commercial Performance Period**")

Net Sales realized in the Licensee Territory are less than [ \* ] percent ([ \* ]%) of forecasted sales

for such year, then Licensee shall submit a corrective plan to the JCC for review and approval for

the next Calendar Year in order to achieve forecasted sales and such corrective plan shall be

incorporated into the Commercialization Plan. If, for a second Calendar Year during the

Minimum Commercial Performance Period, Net Sales realized are again less than [ \* ] percent

([ \* ]%) of forecasted sales then:

**(i)** if Licensee failed to execute the corrective plan submitted to the

JCC, it shall be considered a material breach giving rise to Exelixis' right to terminate this

Agreement pursuant to Section 15.2;

**(ii)**if Licensee did execute the corrective plan submitted to the JCC,

but still failed to achieve at least [ \* ] percent ([ \* ]%) of forecasted sales, then Licensee must

submit a new corrective plan to the JCC; and

**(iii)**if during the Minimum Commercial Performance Period, Licensee

fails to achieve at least [ \* ] percent ([ \* ]%) of forecasted sales in [ \* ] of the [ \* ] Calendar

Years during the Minimum Commercial Performance Period, it shall be considered a material

breach after the [ \* ] of such Calendar Years giving rise to Exelixis' right to terminate this

Agreement pursuant to Section 15.2.

**(d)Minimum Commercial Performance Compensation**. If in any

Calendar Year during the Minimum Commercial Performance Period Net Sales realized in the

Licensee Territory are less than [ \* ] percent ([ \* ]%) of forecasted sales for such year, then

Licensee shall owe to Exelixis the Minimum Commercial Performance Compensation in respect

of such year, to be paid within [ \* ] of the end of the relevant Calendar Year. For the purposes of

this Agreement, the **"Minimum Commercial Performance Compensation"** shall be equal to

the royalty payments due on the difference between [ \* ] percent ([ \* ]%) of the forecasted sales

for the applicable Calendar Year and the Net Sales realized during the applicable Calendar Year.

**(e)Minimum Commercial Performance Relief**. In the event of conditions

that give rise to a Stockout Period, Licensee shall be relieved of the obligation to meet minimum

commercial performance obligations pursuant to Section 6.3(c) for the Calendar Year in which

such Stockout Period occurs.

regarding its Commercialization activities with respect to the Products in the Licensee Territory.

Each such update shall be in a form to be agreed by the JCC and shall summarize Licensee's, its

Affiliates' and Sublicensees' significant Commercialization activities with respect to the

Products in the Licensee Territory, and shall contain at least such information at such level of

detail reasonably required by Exelixis to determine Licensee's compliance with its diligence

obligations set forth herein. Such updates shall include, on a [ \* ] basis, Licensee's sales

activities, marketing activities and Medical Affairs Activities. In addition, if Licensee is then

working under a corrective plan under Section 6.3(c), such updates shall also include the budget

and actual cost and expense (including FTE levels) for such activities in [ \* ] for the current year

and previous year.

**6.4Coordination of Commercialization Activities.**

**(a)Generally.** The Parties recognize that their collaboration may benefit

from the coordination of certain activities in support of the Commercialization of the Products in

both the Licensee Territory and the Exelixis Territory. As such, the Parties, through the JCC,

shall develop and coordinate Commercialization strategies for the Product (e.g., for branding and

messaging, international congresses, advisory boards), and the Parties shall conduct

Commercialization activities for the Product in their respective territories consistent with such

global strategy. The foregoing shall not be construed as requiring Exelixis to seek Licensee's

consent in connection with the establishment and/or implementation of any sales, marketing, or

medical affairs practices in the Exelixis Territory.

shall not sell any Product in combination with, as part of a bundle with, or as a combination

therapy with other products, or offer packaged arrangements to customers that include a Product,

in such a manner as to disproportionately discount the selling price of the Product [ \* ]. For

clarification, should Licensee derive direct economic benefit from the sale of another

pharmaceutical product that is approved to be used in combination with Product, [ \* ].

**(c)Sharing of Promotional Materials.** Licensee shall, at its own expense,

prepare, develop, produce or otherwise obtain, and utilize sales, promotional, advertising,

marketing, website, educational and training materials (the "**Promotional Materials**") to support

its Commercialization activities in the Licensee Territory. The Parties shall share samples of

Promotional Materials (including English translation, if available) with respect to the

Commercialization of the Products with one another. Additional materials, including medical

education and medical information, sales force and sales force training materials, will be made

available to the other Party upon request.

**(d)Commercialization in Exelixis Territory.** Subject to the terms and

conditions of this Agreement (including Section 6.7), Exelixis shall have the exclusive right to

Commercialize the Product in the Exelixis Territory at its own cost and expense, with or without

Third Party(ies).

**6.5Detailing and Promotion.** Licensee shall not engage any contract sales

organization to conduct sales activities for the Product in the Licensee Territory without written

JCC approval, nor shall Licensee use the same sales force to promote the Product and a separate

product that is indicated for the same indication without written JCC approval.

transfer of the RCC MAA to Licensee, but subject to the final sentence of this Section 6.6(a),

Licensee shall lead and conduct all Medical Affairs Activities for the Product in the Licensee

Territory in accordance with the medical affairs portion of the GDP. From such date, Licensee

shall be responsible for Medical Affairs Activities in the Licensee Territory, provided however,

that Exelixis shall have the right, but not the obligation, to also conduct Medical Affairs

Activities in the Licensee Territory in global support of the Product consistent with the medical

affairs portion of the GDP and in coordination with Licensee. Exelixis will not undertake

Medical Affairs Activities in the Licensee Territory without prior coordination with Licensee.

**(b)Advisory Panels.** To the extent practicable, each Party shall give the

other Party written notice at least [ \* ] in advance of any major market or international level

advisory panel meetings with key opinion leaders with respect to the Commercialization of the

Products in the Licensee Territory and the Exelixis Territory that are held, sponsored or attended

by either Party or its Affiliate or sublicensee, and each Party shall have the right to attend and

participate in such meetings.

**6.7Diversion.** Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that it and its Affiliates shall

not, and it shall contractually obligate (and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to enforce such

contractual obligation) its sublicensees not to, directly or indirectly, promote, market, distribute,

import, sell or have sold any Product, including via the Internet or mail order, to any Third Party

Party shall engage, nor permit its Affiliates and sublicensees to engage, in any advertising or

promotional activities relating to any Product for use directed primarily to customers or other

buyers or users of such Product located in any country or jurisdiction in the other Party's

territory, or solicit orders from any prospective purchaser located in any country or jurisdiction in

the other Party's territory. If a Party or its Affiliates or sublicensees receives any order for a

Product for use from a prospective purchaser located in a country or jurisdiction in the other

Party's territory, such Party shall immediately refer that order to such other Party and shall not

accept any such orders. Neither Party shall, nor permit its Affiliates and sublicensees to, deliver

providing supporting documentation, responding to requests by applicable Regulatory

Authorities and other reasonable efforts in connection with the MAA Approvals, (b) preparing

and filing Regulatory Filings in countries of the Licensee Territory where Sobi and/or TMC has

not as of the Effective Date filed Regulatory Filings and it is or it becomes commercially

reasonable to do so. Licensee's rights and obligations as a regulatory sponsor with respect to

each particular Regulatory Filing under Article 5 shall commence upon the completion of such

transfer.

**8.3Transition of Commercial Responsibilities for Cometriq.** Licensee and

Exelixis acknowledge and agree that Licensee shall assume the rights and responsibilities for the

**9.2Sharing/Reimbursements of Development Costs and PV Costs**.

**(a)Future Development Costs**. No later than [ \* ] after the beginning of

each Calendar Quarter during which a Party will perform any Development activity (other than

the Independent Work and Licensee Only Development Work) in such Calendar Quarter

pursuant to the GDP, such Party shall submit to the other Party a statement setting forth the

Development Costs incurred, including the other Party's share (calculated in accordance with

Section 4.5) of (i) estimated Development Costs for the then current quarter; (ii) variances from

prior invoiced estimates and actual Development Costs; and (iii) Development Costs incurred by

or on account of such Party in the past quarter not previously invoiced. Such invoice shall

include a reasonably detailed report for such Development Costs, including supporting

documents. To the extent provided in Section 4.5, the other Party shall pay the amount invoiced

within [ \* ] after the receipt of the invoice, subject to the other Party's right to audit the invoicing

Party's records and books related to such costs as provided in Section 10.4. For clarity, making

such a payment does not preempt the paying Party's audit rights under Section 10.4, which

remain in full force and effect. If both Parties will perform Development activities under the

GDP in such Calendar Quarter, the Parties shall consolidate the payments for such Calendar

Quarter into a single payment from one Party to the other Party.

**(b)Independent Work.** Except as set forth below in this Section 9.2(b), each

Party shall bear all the internal (calculated on an FTE basis using the then current FTE Rate) and

out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by or on account of such Party in performing its own

Independent Work (the "**Independent Work Costs**"). After the completion of such Independent

Work, such Party shall provide the other Party with a report of such Independent Work Costs. If

a Party desires to submit any portion of the Data resulting from any Independent Work

conducted by the other Party and related Regulatory Filings generated by the other Party to

support Regulatory Approval in its territory, then such Party shall notify the other Party in

writing at any time upon the completion of such Independent Work. Within [ \* ] after its receipt

of such notice, the Party conducting or having conducted such Independent Work shall submit to

the other Party a reasonably detailed invoice setting forth [ \* ] ([ \* ]%) of the Independent Work

Costs that would have been incurred by or on account of such other Party in connection with the

generation of such Data under Section 9.2(b) as if such Independent Work Costs were

Development Costs. If the Party seeking to use such Data decides to use such Data to support

Regulatory Approval in its territory, then such Party shall notify the other Party in writing and

pay the amount invoiced within [ \* ] after the receipt of such invoice, subject to such Party's

right to audit the invoicing Party's records and books related to such costs as provided in Section

10.4. For clarity, making such a payment does not preempt the paying Party's audit rights under

Section 10.4, which remain in full force and effect.

**(c)Internal Development Cost.** Each Party shall record and calculate its

internal Development Costs on an FTE basis at the FTE Rate.

**(d)Development Cost for Products in Combination.** If any Product is

Developed under this Agreement in combination with a Party's proprietary product (the

"**Beneficial Party**"), either as a combination product or combination therapy, then such

Development work shall be conducted in accordance with the GDP and the Development Costs

with respect to such Development shall be included in the Development Budget, provided that

only [ \* ] percent ([ \* ]%) of the Development Cost with respect to such Development shall be

subject to the Parties' cost sharing under Section 9.2(b) and the Beneficial Party shall be solely

responsible for the other [ \* ] percent ([ \* ]%) of the Development Costs.

**(c)Royalty Reductions**

**(i)**If one or more Generic Products to a Product is sold in any country

**(ii)**If it is [ \* ] for Licensee to obtain a license from a Third Party

under any Patent in a particular country in the Licensee Territory in order to sell a Product in

such country and Licensee obtains such a license, Licensee may deduct, from the royalty

payment that would otherwise have been due pursuant to Section 9.5(a) with respect to Net Sales

of such Product in such country in a particular Calendar Quarter, an amount equal to [ \* ] percent

([ \* ]%) of the royalties paid by Licensee to such Third Party pursuant to such license on account

of the sale of such Product in such country during such Calendar Quarter.

**(iii)**If the Applicable Laws (including legal doctrine) in a particular

country or jurisdiction requires a royalty reduction after the expiration of the relevant patents,

and the Royalty Term for a particular Product in such country or jurisdiction extends beyond the

time period set forth in Section 9.5(b)(i), then the royalty rates provided in Section 9.5(a) shall be

reduced by [ \* ] percent ([ \* ]%) for such Product in such country (e.g., a reduction from [ \* ]%

to [ \* ]%) during the remainder of the Royalty Term that extends beyond the time period set forth

**(iv)**If [ \* ] any and all approvals (including pricing and reimbursement

waivers) of any Regulatory Authority that are necessary for the promotion, marketing,

distribution, offer for sale, sale, or other commercialization [ \* ] ("**Approval**") in any country in

the Licensee Territory [ \* ], and such Approval [ \* ], and [ \* ], then, [ \* ] the royalty rates

provided in Section 9.5(a) for such Product shall be reduced in such country by [ \* ] percent

([ \* ]%) for the remainder of the Royalty Term for such Product in such country. For clarity,

[ \* ]for the purposes of this Section 9.5(c)(iv). Further, if the Approval is [ \* ], then the royalty

reduction will only apply [ \* ]; and, where [ \* ], the Parties will discuss in good faith to promptly

agree upon a reasonable method for [ \* ] for the purpose of calculating the royalty reduction

pursuant to this Section 9.5(c)(iv).

**(v)**Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any Calendar Quarter in the

Royalty Term for a Product in a country, the operation of clause 9.5(c)(i), 9.5(c)(ii), 9.5(c)(iii),

and 9.5(c)(iv) above, individually or in combination, shall not reduce by more than [ \* ] percent

([ \* ]%) the royalties that would otherwise have been due under Section 9.5(a) with respect to

Net Sales of such Product in such country during such Calendar Quarter.

**(d)Basis of Payment**. This Section 9.5 is intended to provide for royalty

payments to Exelixis equal to the percentages of Net Sales set forth in this Section 9.5 for the

entire duration of the Royalty Term. In establishing this payment structure, Licensee recognizes

and acknowledges the substantial value of the various actions and investments that Exelixis has

taken and will undertake under this Agreement, as well as the fact that the value of the license

granted hereunder resides substantially in the Know-How. Therefore, Licensee agrees that the

royalty payments set forth above are appropriate for the entire duration of such payment

obligation. The Parties have agreed to the payment structure set forth herein as a convenient and

fair mechanism for both Parties to be compensated for the value of their actions and investments

under this Agreement.

**(e)Launch Period Adjustment**. For the first fifty million dollars

($50,000,000) of cumulative Net Sales, Licensee shall make quarterly non-refundable, non-

creditable royalty payments to Exelixis on the Net Sales of all Products sold in the Licensee

Territory at the rate of two percent (2%) rather than at the rate set forth in Section 9.5(a). For the

first one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) of cumulative Net Sales immediately following

the initial fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) of cumulative Net Sales, Licensee shall make

quarterly non-refundable, non-creditable royalty payments to Exelixis on the Net Sales of all

Products sold in the Licensee Territory at the rate of twelve percent (12%) rather than at the rate

set forth in Section 9.5(a). Thereafter, the royalty rate for all Net Sales shall be at the applicable

rate set forth in Section 9.5(a).

**(f)Stockout Holiday**. In the event of conditions that give rise to a Stockout

Period, Licensee shall be relieved of the obligation to pay royalties pursuant to Section 9.5(a) on

Net Sales occurring for a period of time, commencing with the first commercial sale following

the end of the Stockout Period, equal in duration to the Stockout Period.

**9.6Exelixis Payments to Third Party.** Exelixis shall be solely responsible for all

payments, including royalties and milestone payments, due with respect to Compound and

Products pursuant to any Third Party agreement that Exelixis entered into prior to or as of the

Effective Date, including any obligations surviving the termination of the Product Development

and Commercialization Agreement between [ \* ], as set forth in such Collaboration Agreement.

**9.7Supply Payments**. Licensee shall pay Exelixis for Compound and Product

Exelixis supplies to Licensee an amount equal to [ \* ], all as provided in the Supply Agreement.

**10. Payment; Records; Audits**

**10.1Payment; Reports.** Royalty payments due by Licensee to Exelixis under Section

9.5 shall be calculated and reported for each Calendar Quarter. All royalty payments due under

Section 9.5 shall be paid within [ \* ] after the end of each Calendar Quarter and shall be

accompanied by a report setting forth, on a country-by-country basis, Net Sales of the Products

by Licensee and its Affiliates and Sublicensees in the Licensee Territory in sufficient detail to

permit confirmation of the accuracy of the royalty payment made, including, for each country,

the number of Products sold, the gross sales and Net Sales of Products, including the deductions

from gross sales to arrive at Net Sales, the royalties payable, the method used to calculate the

royalties, the exchange rates used, any adjustments to royalties in accordance with Section 9.5,

and whether any commercial milestone under Section 9.4 has been achieved. Promptly after the

Effective Date, the Parties will agree on the form of royalty report. Licensee shall submit a

single report for all Net Sales during the Calendar Quarter, including all Licensee's, Affiliates'

and Sublicensees' Net Sales but shall separately identify the Net Sales and other information

applicable to each entity.

**10.2Exchange Rate; Manner and Place of Payment.** Except as provided in

Sections 9.4(b)(iii) and 9.5(a)(ii), all references to dollars and "$" herein shall refer to U.S.

dollars. All payments hereunder shall be payable in U.S. dollars. When conversion of Net Sales

from any currency other than U.S. dollars is required, such conversion shall be at the exchange

rate [ \* ]. All payments owed under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer in

immediately available funds to a bank and account designated in writing by Exelixis, unless

otherwise specified in writing by Exelixis.

**10.3Taxes.**

**(a)Taxes on Income.** Each Party shall be solely responsible for the payment

of all taxes imposed on its share of income arising directly or indirectly from the activities of the

Parties under this Agreement.

BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS BOTH (I) NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE

COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.

**(b)Tax Cooperation.** The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and

use reasonable efforts to avoid or reduce tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of the

milestone payments, milestone payments and other payments made by Licensee to Exelixis

under this Agreement. To the extent Licensee is required by Applicable Laws to deduct and

withhold taxes on any payment to Exelixis, Licensee shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the

proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to Exelixis an official

tax certificate or other evidence of such payment sufficient to enable Exelixis to claim such

payment of taxes. Exelixis shall provide Licensee any tax forms that may be reasonably

necessary in order for Licensee to not withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an

applicable bilateral income tax treaty, to the extent legally able to do so. Exelixis shall use

reasonable efforts to provide any such tax forms to Licensee in advance of the due date.

Licensee shall provide Exelixis with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted

by Applicable Laws, of withholding taxes or similar obligations resulting from payments made

under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of Exelixis. Licensee shall have the

right to deduct any such tax, levy or charge actually paid from payment due to Exelixis. Each

Party agrees to assist the other Party in claiming exemption from such deductions or

withholdings under double taxation or similar agreement or treaty from time to time in force and

in minimizing the amount required to be so withheld or deducted.

**(c)Taxes Resulting From Licensee's Action**. Licensee represents and

warrants that, as of the Effective Date, Licensee is not required by Applicable Law to deduct or

withhold taxes on the upfront payment, milestone payments, royalty payments, and other

payments payable to Exelixis under this Agreement. If a Party takes any action of its own

discretion (not required by a Regulatory Authority), including any assignment, sublicense,

change of place of incorporation, or failure to comply with Applicable Laws or filing or record

retention requirements, which results in a withholding or deduction obligation ("**Withholding**

**Tax Action**"), then such Party shall pay the sum associated with such Withholding Tax Action.

For clarity, if Licensee undertakes a Withholding Tax Action, then the sum payable by Licensee

(in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be increased to

the extent necessary to ensure that Exelixis receives a sum equal to the sum which it would have

received had no such Withholding Tax Action occurred. Otherwise, the sum payable by

Licensee (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be

made to Exelixis after deduction of the amount required to be so withheld or deducted. If a

change in Applicable Laws results in a withholding or deduction obligation absent either Party

taking a Withholding Tax Action, then the amount of such withholding or deduction obligation

shall be paid by Licensee to the applicable Governmental Authority on behalf of Exelixis,

provided that Licensee shall assist Exelixis in minimizing or recovering such withholding or

deduction obligation. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to invoke the

application of any applicable bilateral income tax treaty that would reduce or eliminate otherwise

applicable taxes with respect to payments payable pursuant to this Agreement.

**10.4Records; Audit.** Each Party shall maintain complete and accurate records in

sufficient detail in relation to this Agreement to permit the other Party to confirm the accuracy of

the amount of Development Costs and the Cost of Goods to be reimbursed or shared,

achievement of commercial milestones, the amount of royalty and other payments under this

Agreement. Each Party will keep such books and records for at least [ \* ] following the Calendar

Year to which they pertain. Upon reasonable prior notice, such records shall be inspected during

regular business hours at such place or places where such records are customarily kept by an

independent certified public accountant (the "**Auditor**") selected by the auditing Party and

reasonably acceptable to the audited Party for the sole purpose of verifying for the auditing Party

the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by the audited Party pursuant to this Agreement or

50. **Exhibit 10.42**

of any payments made, or required to be made, by or to the audited Party pursuant to this

Agreement. Before beginning its audit, the Auditor shall execute an undertaking acceptable to

each Party by which the Auditor agrees to keep confidential all information reviewed during the

audit. Such audits may occur no more often than once each Calendar Year and not more

frequently than once with respect to records covering any specific period of time. Each Party

shall only be entitled to audit the books and records from the [ \* ] Calendar Years prior to the

Calendar Year in which the audit request is made. Such auditor shall not disclose the audited

Party's Confidential Information to the auditing Party, except to the extent such disclosure is

necessary to verify the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by the audited Party or the

amount of payments to or by the audited Party under this Agreement. In the event that the final

result of the inspection reveals an undisputed underpayment or overpayment, the underpaid or

overpaid amount shall be settled within [ \* ] after the Auditor's report. The auditing Party shall

bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit reveals an overpayment to, or an underpayment

by, the audited Party that resulted from a discrepancy in the financial report provided by the

audited Party for the audited period, which underpayment or overpayment was more than [ \* ]

percent ([ \* ]%) of the amount set forth in such report, in which case the audited Party shall

reimburse the auditing Party for the costs for such audit. With respect more specifically to the

Development Costs to be paid or shared pursuant to Section 9.2, in addition to the right of

inspection and audit by an Auditor, the Party making the payment (the "**Payor**") shall have the

right at its expense to review any records of out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the

Party requesting the payment (the "**Payee**") and time-keeping logs of Payee sufficient to justify

the work-time spent by each FTE of the Payee as well as the books of the Payee upon reasonable

notice sent by Payor to Payee and during regular business hours. For clarity, making such a

payment does not preempt the paying Party's audit rights under this Section 10.4, which remain

in full force and effect. Payee's FTE's work-time shall be appropriately allocated between the

other product and the Product for purpose of calculating the internal costs specifically dedicated

to the Product.

**10.5Late Payments.** In the event that any payment due under this Agreement is not

paid when due in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, the payment shall

accrue interest from the date due at the [ \* ] interest rate of [ \* ] percent ([ \* ]%) [ \* ]; provided,

however, that in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum legal annual interest rate. The

payment of such interest shall not limit the Party entitled to receive payment from exercising any

other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

**11. Intellectual Property**

**11.1Ownership**.

**(a)Data.** All Data generated in connection with any Development or

Commercial activities with respect to any Product conducted by or on behalf of Exelixis and its

Affiliates and licensees (other than Licensee) (the "**Exelixis Data**") shall be the sole and

exclusive property of Exelixis or its Affiliates or licensees, as applicable. All Data generated in

connection with any Development or Commercial activities with respect to any Product

conducted by or on behalf of Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees (the "**Licensee Data**")

shall be the sole and exclusive property of Licensee or of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, as

applicable. For clarity, each Party shall have access and right to use and reference the other

Party's Data as and to the extent set forth in this Agreement.

**(b)Inventions.** Inventorship of any Inventions will be determined in

accordance with the standards of inventorship and conception under U.S. patent laws. The

[ \* ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY

BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS BOTH (I) NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE

COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.

Parties will work together to resolve any issues regarding inventorship or ownership of

Inventions. Ownership of Inventions will be allocated as follows:

**(i)**Exelixis will solely own all data, Inventions, and Patents claiming

such Inventions that relate to the composition, manufacture or use of any Compound, or any

improvement of any such composition, manufacture or use (each, a "**Compound Invention**").

All Compound Inventions will be included in the Exelixis Know-How, and Patents in the

Licensee Territory claiming such Inventions will be included in the Exelixis Patents. To the

extent any Compound Invention is made by Licensee, whether solely or jointly with Exelixis,

Licensee shall, and hereby does, transfer and assign to Exelixis, without additional consideration,

all of its interest in such Compound Invention.

**(ii)**Except for Compound Inventions, each Party shall solely own any

Inventions made solely by its and its Affiliates' employees, agents, or independent contractors

("**Sole Inventions**"), and the Parties shall jointly own any Inventions that are made jointly by

employees, agents, or independent contractors of one Party and its Affiliates together with

employees, agents, or independent contractors of the other Party and its Affiliates ("**Joint**

**Inventions**"). All Patents claiming patentable Joint Inventions shall be referred to herein as

"**Joint Patents.**" Except to the extent either Party is restricted by the licenses granted to the

other Party under this Agreement, each Party shall be entitled to practice, license, assign and

otherwise exploit its interest under the Joint Inventions and Joint Patents without the duty of

accounting or seeking consent from the other Party.

**11.2Patent Prosecution and Maintenance**.

**(a)Exelixis Patents.**

**(i)**Subject to this Section 11.2(a), Exelixis shall have the sole right,

but not the obligation, to control the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance (including

any interferences, reissue proceedings, reexaminations, inter partes review, patent term

extensions, applications for supplementary protection certificates, oppositions, invalidation

proceedings and defense of validity or enforceability challenges) of the Exelixis Patents (other

than Joint Patents) worldwide, using counsel of its own choice in the Exelixis Territory and

counsel mutually agreed to by the Parties in the Licensee Territory. Licensee shall reimburse

Exelixis for all costs and expenses incurred with respect to the preparation, filing, prosecution

and maintenance of Exelixis Patents in the Licensee Territory after the Effective Date, within

[ \* ] from the date of invoice for such costs and expenses provided by Exelixis. In the event that

Licensee does not reimburse Exelixis for such costs and expenses for any Exelixis Patent or

notifies Exelixis in writing that it elects to cease reimbursing Exelixis for such costs and

expenses for any Exelixis Patent, such Patent shall cease to be an Exelixis Patent and shall no

longer be subject to the licenses and other rights granted by Exelixis to Licensee under this

Agreement. Exelixis shall keep Licensee informed of material progress with regard to the

preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of Exelixis Patents in the Licensee Territory,

sufficiently in advance for Licensee to be able to review any material documents, including

content, timing and jurisdiction of the filing of such Exelixis Patents in the Licensee Territory,

and Exelixis shall consult with, and consider in good faith the requests and suggestions of,

Licensee with respect to strategies for filing, prosecuting and defending, if any, Exelixis Patents

in the Licensee Territory.

**(ii)**In the event that Exelixis desires to abandon or cease prosecution

or maintenance of any Exelixis Patent in any country in the Licensee Territory, Exelixis shall

[ \* ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY

BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS BOTH (I) NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE

COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.

provide reasonable prior written notice to Licensee of such intention to abandon (which notice

shall, to the extent possible, be given no later than [ \* ] prior to the next deadline for any action

that must be taken with respect to any such Exelixis Patent in the relevant patent office). In such

case, upon Licensee's written election provided no later than [ \* ] after such notice from

Exelixis, Exelixis shall continue prosecution and maintenance of such Exelixis Patent at

Licensee's direction and expense. If Licensee does not provide such election within [ \* ] after

such notice from Exelixis, Exelixis may, in its sole discretion, continue prosecution and

maintenance of such Exelixis Patent or discontinue prosecution and maintenance of such

Exelixis Patent.

**(b)Licensee Patents.**

**(i)**Subject to this Section 11.2(b), Licensee shall have the first right,

but not the obligation, to control the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance (including

any interferences, reissue proceedings, reexaminations, patent term extensions, applications for

supplementary protection certificates, oppositions, invalidation proceedings and defense of

validity or enforceability challenges) of all Licensee Patents (other than Joint Patents)

worldwide, at its sole cost and expense and by counsel of its own choice in the Licensee

Territory and by counsel mutually agreed to by the Parties in the Exelixis Territory. Licensee

shall keep Exelixis informed of the status of filing, prosecution, maintenance and defense, if any,

of the Licensee Patents, and Licensee shall consult with, and consider in good faith the requests

and suggestions of, Exelixis with respect to strategies for filing, prosecuting and defending, if

any, Licensee Patents.

**(ii)**In the event that Licensee desires to abandon or cease prosecution

or maintenance of any Licensee Patent, Licensee shall provide reasonable prior written notice to

Exelixis of such intention to abandon (which notice shall, to the extent possible, be given no later

than [ \* ] prior to the next deadline for any action that must be taken with respect to any such

Licensee Patent in the relevant patent office). In such case, upon Exelixis' written election

provided no later than [ \* ] after such notice from Licensee, Exelixis shall have the right to

assume prosecution and maintenance of such Licensee Patent at Exelixis' expense and Licensee

shall assign to Exelixis all of its rights, title and interest in and to such Licensee Patent. If

Exelixis does not provide such election within [ \* ] after such notice from Licensee, Licensee

may, in its sole discretion, continue prosecution and maintenance of such Licensee Patent or

discontinue prosecution and maintenance of such Licensee Patent.

**(c)Joint Patents.**

**(i)**Subject to this Section 11.2(c), Exelixis shall have the first right,

but not the obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain (including any interferences,

reissue proceedings, reexaminations, patent term extensions, applications for supplementary

protection certificates, oppositions, invalidation proceedings and defense of validity or

enforceability challenges) Joint Patents using a patent counsel selected by Exelixis in the

Exelixis Territory and counsel mutually agreed to by the Parties in the Licensee Territory.

Licensee shall reimburse Exelixis for all costs and expenses incurred with respect to the

preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patents in the Licensee Territory, within

[ \* ] from the date of invoice for such costs and expenses provided by Exelixis. In the event that

Licensee does not reimburse Exelixis for such costs and expense for any Joint Patent or notifies

Exelixis in writing that it elects to cease reimbursing Exelixis for such costs and expense for any

Joint Patent, Licensee shall execute such documents and perform such acts, at Licensee's

expense, as may be reasonably necessary to effect an assignment of Licensee's entire right, title,

53. **Exhibit 10.42**

[ \* ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY

BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS BOTH (I) NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE

and interest in and to such Joint Patent to Exelixis, and such Patent shall cease to be either a Joint

Patent or a Exelixis Patent and shall no longer be subject to the licenses and other rights granted

by Exelixis to Licensee under this Agreement. Exelixis shall keep Licensee informed of material

progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance and defense, if any of

Joint Patents, including content, timing and jurisdiction of the filing of such Joint Patents, and

Exelixis shall consult with, and consider in good faith the requests and suggestions of, Licensee

with respect to filing, prosecuting and defending, if any, Joint Patents in the Licensee Territory.

**(ii)**In the event that Exelixis desires to abandon or cease prosecution

or maintenance of any Joint Patent in any country in the Licensee Territory, Exelixis shall

provide reasonable prior written notice to Licensee of such intention to abandon (which notice

shall, to the extent possible, be given no later than [ \* ] prior to the next deadline for any action

that must be taken with respect to any such Joint Patent in the relevant patent office). In such

case, at Licensee's sole discretion, upon written notice from Licensee to Exelixis, Licensee may

elect to continue prosecution or maintenance of any such Joint Patent at its own expense, and

Exelixis shall execute such documents and perform such acts, at Licensee's expense, as may be

reasonably necessary to allow Licensee to continue the prosecution and maintenance of such

Joint Patent in such country in the Licensee Territory. Any such assignment shall be completed

in a timely manner to allow Licensee to continue prosecution and maintenance of any such Joint

Patent and any such Patent so assigned shall cease to be either a Joint Patent or a Licensee Patent

and shall no longer be subject to the licenses and other rights granted by Licensee to Exelixis

under this Agreement.

**(d)Cooperation.** Each Party agrees to cooperate fully in the preparation,

filing, prosecution, maintenance and defense, if any, of Patents under Section 11.2 and in the

obtaining and maintenance of any patent term extensions, supplementary protection certificates

and their equivalent with respect thereto respectively, at its own cost (except as expressly set

forth otherwise in this Article 11). Such cooperation includes: (i) executing all papers and

instruments, or requiring its employees or contractors, to execute such papers and instruments, so

as enable the other Party to apply for and to prosecute patent applications in any country as

permitted by Section 11.2; and (ii) promptly informing the other Party of any matters coming to

such Party's attention that may affect the preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of any

such patent application and the obtaining of any patent term extensions, supplementary

protection certificates and their equivalent.

**11.3Patent Enforcement**.

**(a)Notice.** Each Party shall notify the other within [ \* ] of becoming aware

of any alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any of the Exelixis Patents

(including Joint Patents) in the Licensee Territory, which infringement adversely affects or is

expected to adversely affect any Product, including any declaratory judgment, opposition, or

similar action alleging the invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of any of the Exelixis

Patents (collectively "**Product Infringement**").

**(b)Enforcement Right.** Exelixis shall have the first right to bring and

control any legal action in connection with such Product Infringement at its own expense as it

reasonably determines appropriate. If Exelixis (i) decides not to bring such legal action against a

Product Infringement (the decision of which Exelixis shall inform Licensee promptly) or (ii)

Exelixis otherwise fails to bring such legal action against a Product Infringement within [ \* ] of

first becoming aware of such Product Infringement, Licensee shall have the right to bring and

54. **Exhibit 10.42**

[ \* ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY

BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS BOTH (I) NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE

COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.

control any legal action in connection with such Product Infringement at its own expense as it

reasonably determines appropriate after consultation with Exelixis.

**(c)Collaboration.** Each Party shall provide to the enforcing Party reasonable

assistance in such enforcement, at such enforcing Party's request and expense, including to be

named in such action if required by Applicable Laws to pursue such action. The enforcing Party

shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement

efforts, shall reasonably consider the other Party's comments on any such efforts, including,

without limitation, determination of litigation strategy, filing of material papers to the competent

court. The non-enforcing Party shall be entitled to separate representation in such matter by

counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, but such Party shall at all times cooperate fully

with the enforcing Party.

**(d)Expense and Recovery.**

**(i)**Except as set forth in clause (ii) below, the enforcing Party shall be

solely responsible for any cost and expenses incurred by such Party as a result of such

enforcement action. If such Party recovers monetary damages in such enforcement action, such

recovery shall be allocated first to the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by the enforcing

Party in such enforcement action, second to the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by the

other Party in such enforcement action, and any remaining amounts shall be retained by the

enforcing Party.

**(ii)**Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Exelixis is the enforcing Party

against a Product Infringement in the Licensee Territory, Licensee shall have the option to share

[ \* ] percent ([ \* ]%) of the cost and expense incurred by Exelixis in such enforcement action,

which option may be exercised by Licensee by providing written notice to Exelixis within [ \* ]

after receiving a notice from Exelixis that Exelixis decides to bring such action. If Licensee

exercises such option, then (1) Licensee shall reimburse Exelixis for [ \* ] percent ([ \* ]%) of all

costs and expenses incurred by Exelixis in such enforcement action, within [ \* ] from the date of

invoice for such costs and expenses provided by Exelixis; (2) If Exelixis recovers any monetary

damages in such enforcement action, such recovery shall be allocated [ \* ] percent ([ \* ]%) to

Exelixis and [ \* ] percent ([ \* ]%) to Licensee.

**(e)Other Infringement.** Except for Product Infringement as set forth above,

each Party shall have the exclusive right to enforce its own Patent against any infringement

anywhere in the world. For clarity, Exelixis shall have the exclusive right to enforce (i) the

Exelixis Patents against any infringement in the Licensee Territory that is not a Product

Infringement, and (ii) the Exelixis Patents and Joint Patents against any infringement in the

Exelixis Territory, in each case at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate. The

Parties shall discuss global enforcement strategy for the Exelixis Patents and Licensee Patents,

including the defense of validity and enforceability challenges arising from any enforcement

action.

**11.4Infringement of Third Party Rights.** If any Product used or sold by Licensee,

its Affiliates or Sublicensees becomes the subject of a Third Party's claim or assertion of

infringement of any intellectual property rights in a jurisdiction within the Licensee Territory,

Licensee shall promptly notify Exelixis and the Parties shall promptly meet to consider the claim

or assertion and the appropriate course of action and may, if appropriate, agree on and enter into

a "common interest agreement" wherein the Parties agree to their shared, mutual interest in the

outcome of such potential dispute. Absent any agreement to the contrary, and subject to claims

55. **Exhibit 10.42**

[ \* ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY

BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS BOTH (I) NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE

COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.

for indemnification under Article 13, each Party defend itself from any such Third Party claim at

its own cost and expense, provided, however, that the provisions of Section 11.3 shall govern the

right of Licensee to assert a counterclaim of infringement of any Exelixis Patents.

**11.5Patents Licensed From Third Parties**. Each Party's rights under this Article 11

with respect to the prosecution and enforcement of any Exelixis Patent and Licensee Patent shall

be subject to the rights: (a) retained by any upstream licensor to prosecute and enforce such

Patent Right, if such Patent Right is subject to an upstream license agreement; and (b) granted to

any Third Party prior to such Patent Right becoming subject to the license grant under this

Agreement.

**11.6Trademarks.**

**(a)Product Trademarks.** Exelixis shall develop and adopt trademarks,

including trade names, trade dresses, branding, and logos, to be used for the Products (the

"**Product Marks**"). Exelixis shall own the Product Marks throughout the world and all goodwill

in the Product Marks shall accrue to Exelixis. The Parties (including any Future Exelixis

Licensee to the extent feasible) shall collaborate to have a global, worldwide trademark to be

used on the Product. The Parties acknowledge that Exelixis has been using the trademark

Cometriq® for the Product in MTC, and unless otherwise mutually agreed, the Parties shall

continue to use Cometriq® in MTC. Exelixis shall select another Product Mark for the Product

to be used for all other indications. In the event Exelixis is unable to obtain or maintain the

Product Marks for the Product in the Licensee Territory or in some countries in the Licensee

Territory, the Parties shall collaborate to select such other Product Marks (*i.e.*, back-up names) as

may be available for registration and marketing of the Product in those countries. Exelixis shall

be responsible for the registration, maintenance, defense and enforcement of the Product Marks

using counsel of its own choice in the Exelixis Territory and counsel mutually agreed to by the

Parties in the Licensee Territory. Licensee shall reimburse Exelixis for all costs and expenses

incurred with respect to the registration and maintenance of the Product Marks in the Licensee

Territory, within [ \* ] from the date of invoice for such costs and expenses provided by Exelixis.

Exelixis shall keep Licensee informed of material progress with regard to the registration,

prosecution, maintenance and defense, if any, of Exelixis Trademarks in the Licensee Territory,

including content, timing and jurisdiction of the filing of such Exelixis Trademarks in the

Licensee Territory, sufficiently in advance for Licensee to be able to review any material

documents, and Exelixis shall consult with, and consider in good faith the requests and

suggestions of, Licensee with respect to strategies for filing, prosecuting and defending, if any,

Exelixis Trademarks in the Licensee Territory.

**(i)**Without limiting the generality of the foregoing Section 11.6(a),

the Parties shall use the trademark Cabometyx® for the Product in Canada to the extent that such

trademark is approved for use with the Product by Health Canada or other applicable Regulatory

Authority. If Exelixis is unable to obtain or register Cabometyx® for use with the Product in

Canada, the Parties shall collaborate to select another Product Mark to be used for the Product in

Canada. In accordance with Section 11.6(a), Exelixis shall own the Product Marks used for the

Product in Canada and all goodwill in such Products Marks shall accrue to Exelixis.

**(b)Trademark License.** Licensee shall use the Product Marks selected by

Exelixis to Commercialize the Product in the Licensee Territory. Where Licensee reasonably

believes the Product Mark is not appropriate for commercial use in a specific country, the Parties

shall agree on an alternative product trademark for such country and such alternative product

trademark shall be included in Product Mark. In addition, unless prohibited by Applicable Laws,

56. **Exhibit 10.42**

[ \* ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY

BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS BOTH (I) NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE

COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.

Licensee shall use Commercially Reasonable Effort to include Exelixis' corporate trademark on

the packaging and product information (i.e. SmPC) of the Products sold in the Licensee Territory

to indicate that the Product is licensed from Exelixis. Exelixis hereby grants to Licensee a

limited royalty-free license to use such Product Marks and Exelixis' corporate trademark solely

in connection with the Commercialization of the Product in the Licensee Territory under this

Agreement. All use of the Product Marks and Exelixis' corporate trademark shall comply with

Applicable Laws and regulations and shall be subject to Exelixis' review and approval. For

clarity, Licensee shall also include its (or its Affiliate's or Sublicensee's) corporate logo in the

Product sold in the Licensee Territory.

**13. Indemnification**

**13.1Indemnification by Exelixis.** Exelixis hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and

hold harmless Licensee and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and

agents (each, an "**Licensee Indemnitee**") from and against any and all liabilities, expenses and

losses including any product liability, personal injury, property damage, including reasonable

legal expenses and attorneys' fees (collectively, "**Losses**"), to which any Licensee Indemnitee

may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding by any Third

Party to the extent such Losses arise out of: (a) the Development, use, handling, storage,

Commercialization or other disposition of any Compound or Product by Exelixis or its Affiliates

or licensees or the contractors of any of them (excluding any activities by or on behalf of

Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees), (b) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any

Exelixis Indemnitee, or (c) the breach by Exelixis of any warranty, representation, covenant or

agreement made by Exelixis in this Agreement; except, in each case (a)-(c), to the extent such

Losses arise out of any activities set forth in Section 13.2(a), (b) or (c) for which Licensee is

obligated to indemnify the Exelixis Indemnitee under Section 13.2.

**13.2Indemnification by Licensee.** Licensee hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and

hold harmless Exelixis, its Affiliates and licensees and their respective directors, officers,

employees and agents (each, a "**Exelixis Indemnitee**") from and against any and all Losses to

which any Exelixis Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action or

other proceeding by any Third Party to the extent such Losses arise out of: (a) the Development,

use, handling, storage, Commercialization or other disposition of any Compound or Product by

Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees or the contractor of any of them, (b) the gross

negligence or willful misconduct of any Licensee Indemnitee, or (c) the breach by Licensee of

any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Licensee in this Agreement;

except, in each case (a)-(c), to the extent such Losses arise out of any activities set forth in

Section 13.1(a), (b) or (c) for which Exelixis is obligated to indemnify the Licensee Indemnitee

under Section 13.1.

**13.3Procedure.** A party that intends to claim indemnification under this Article 13

(the "**Indemnitee**") shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party (the "**Indemnitor**") in writing

of any Third Party claim, demand, action or other proceeding (each, a "**Claim**") in respect of

which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification, and the Indemnitor shall have sole

control of the defense or settlement thereof. The Indemnitee may participate at its expense in the

Indemnitor's defense of and settlement negotiations for any Claim with counsel of the

Indemnitee's own selection. The indemnity arrangement in this Article 13 shall not apply to

amounts paid in settlement of any action with respect to a Claim, if such settlement is effected

without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be withheld or delayed

unreasonably. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time

after the commencement of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim shall only relieve the

Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations under this Article 13 if and to the extent the

Indemnitor is actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the

Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any action with respect to a Claim

covered by this indemnification.

**13.4Insurance.** Each Party, at its own expense, for a period until [ \* ] after expiration

or termination of this Agreement, shall maintain commercial general liability insurance,

including public and product liability and other appropriate insurance (e.g., contractual liability,

bodily injury, property damage and personal injury coverage) (or self-insure) in an amount

consistent with sound business practice and reasonable in light of its obligations under this

Agreement during the Term, at a minimum equivalent to [ \* ] dollars ($[ \* ]) for any one claim or

in the aggregate. Each Party shall provide a certificate of insurance (or evidence of self-

insurance) evidencing such coverage to the other Party upon request. It is understood that such

insurance shall not be construed to create any limit of either Party's obligations or liabilities with

respect to its indemnification obligations hereunder. In the event of use by either Party of

subcontractors, Sublicensees or any Third Party in the performance of such Party's obligations

under the Agreement, such Party shall ensure that its subcontractor, Sublicensee or Third Party

shall have a proper and adequate general liability insurance to cover its risks with respect to the

other Party for damages mentioned above.

**13.5Limitation of Liability.** EXCEPT FOR LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF

ARTICLE 14, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM THE

OTHER PARTY ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE

DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT

OR ANY LICENSE GRANTED HEREUNDER; provided, however, that this Section 13.5 shall

not be construed to limit either Party's indemnification obligations under this Article 13.

**14. Confidentiality**

**14.1Confidential Information.** Except to the extent expressly authorized by this

Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, the Parties agree that, during the Term

and for [ \* ] thereafter, the receiving Party shall keep confidential and shall not publish or

otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose other than as expressly provided for in this

Agreement any Confidential Information of the other Party, and both Parties shall keep

confidential and, subject to Sections 14.2, 14.3 and 14.5, shall not publish or otherwise disclose

the terms of this Agreement. Each Party may use the other Party's Confidential Information only

to the extent required to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including exercising its

rights or performing its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party will use at least the same

standard of care as it uses to protect proprietary or confidential information of its own (but no

less than reasonable care) to ensure that its employees, agents, consultants, contractors and other

representatives do not disclose or make any unauthorized use of the Confidential Information of

the other Party. Each Party will promptly notify the other upon discovery of any unauthorized

use or disclosure of the Confidential Information of the other Party.

BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS BOTH (I) NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE

COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.

**14.2Exceptions.** The obligations of confidentiality and restriction on use under

Section 14.1 will not apply to any information that the receiving Party can prove by competent

written evidence: (a) is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of

the receiving Party, generally known or available to the public; (b) is known by the receiving

Party at the time of receiving such information, other than by previous disclosure of the

disclosing Party, or its Affiliates, employees, agents, consultants, or contractors; (c) is hereafter

furnished to the receiving Party without restriction by a Third Party who has no obligation of

confidentiality or limitations on use with respect thereto, as a matter of right; or (d) is

independently discovered or developed by the receiving Party without the use of Confidential

Information belonging to the disclosing Party.

**14.3Authorized Disclosure.** Each Party may disclose Confidential Information

belonging to the other Party as expressly permitted by this Agreement or if and to the extent such

disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following instances:

**(a)**filing, prosecuting, or maintaining Patents as permitted by this Agreement;

**(b)**regulatory filings for Products that such Party has a license or right to

Develop and Commercialize hereunder in a given country or jurisdiction;

**(c)**prosecuting or defending litigation as permitted by this Agreement;

**(d)**complying with applicable court orders or governmental regulations; and

**(e)**disclosure to its and its Affiliates' employees, consultants, contractors and

agents, to its licensees and sublicensees, in each case on a need-to-know basis in connection with

the Development, manufacture and Commercialization of the Compound and Products in

accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in each case under written obligations of

confidentiality and non-use at least as stringent as those herein; and

**(f)**disclosure to potential and actual investors, acquirors, licensees and other

financial or commercial partners solely for the purpose of evaluating or carrying out an actual or

potential investment, acquisition or collaboration, in each case under written obligations of

confidentiality and non-use at least as stringent as those herein, *provided that* the disclosing Party

redacts the financial terms and other provisions of this Agreement that are not reasonably

required to be disclosed in connection with such potential investment, acquisition or

collaboration, which redaction shall be prepared in consultation with the other Party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other

Party's Confidential Information pursuant to Section 14.3(c) or 14.3(d), it will, except where

impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure and use

efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information at least as diligent as

such Party would use to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than

reasonable efforts. In any event, the Parties agree to take all reasonable action to avoid

disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder. Any information disclosed pursuant to

Section 14.3(c) or 14.3(d) shall remain Confidential Information and subject to the restrictions

set forth in this Agreement, including the foregoing provisions of this Article 14.

[ \* ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY

BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS BOTH (I) NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE

COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.

**(a)**Each Party shall have the right to review and comment on any material

proposed for disclosure or publication by the other Party regarding results of and other

information regarding the other Party's Development activities with respect to [ \* ], whether by

oral presentation, manuscript or abstract. Before any such material is submitted for publication,

or presentation of any such material is made, each Party shall deliver a complete copy of the

material proposed for disclosure to the other Party at least three (3) weeks (for oral presentations

or abstracts) or five (5) weeks (for manuscripts) prior to submitting the material to a publisher or

initiating any other disclosure. Each Party shall review any such material and give its comments

to the other Party within two (2) weeks (for oral presentations or abstracts) or twenty (20) days

(for manuscripts) of the receipt of such material. With respect to oral presentation materials and

abstracts, each Party shall make reasonable efforts to expedite review of such materials and

abstracts, and shall return such items as soon as practicable to the other Party with appropriate

comments, if any. Each Party shall comply with the other Party's request to delete references to

its Confidential Information in any such material and agrees to not make any submission for

publication or other public disclosure in order not to jeopardize the patentability of any results or

data for the purpose of preparing and filing appropriate patent applications as provided in Section

14.4(b).

**(b)**If the non-Publishing Party notifies the Publishing Party that such

publication or presentation, in the non-Publishing Party's reasonable judgment, (i) contains an

invention for which such Party desires to obtain patent protection, (ii) contains any Confidential

Information of such Party, or (iii) could be expected to have an adverse effect on the commercial

value of any Confidential Information disclosed by such Party to the Publishing Party, the

Publishing Party shall delete such Confidential Information from the proposed publication or

presentation.

**(c)**For as long as the JDC or JCC remains in place, the JDC or JCC shall be

responsible for overseeing and facilitating the Parties' communications and activities with

respect to publications and presentations under this Section, and for serving as the initial forum

for resolving any disputes between the Parties arising under this Section.

**14.5Publicity; Public Disclosures.** The Parties agree to issue a joint press release

substantially in a form agreed by the Parties and attached to this Agreement as Exhibit E

announcing the signature of this Agreement at or shortly after the Effective Date within the time-

period as required by relevant securities laws. It is understood that each Party may desire or be

required to issue subsequent press releases relating to this Agreement or activities hereunder.

The Parties agree to consult with each other reasonably and in good faith with respect to the text

and timing of such press releases prior to the issuance thereof, to the extent practicable, provided

that a Party may not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay consent to such releases by more

than [ \* ], and that either Party may issue such press releases or make such disclosures to the

SEC or other applicable agency as it determines, based on advice of counsel, as reasonably

necessary to comply with laws or regulations or for appropriate market disclosure. Each Party

shall provide the other Party with advance notice of legally required disclosures to the extent

practicable. The Parties will consult with each other on the provisions of this Agreement to be

redacted in any filings made by a Party with the SEC or as otherwise required by Applicable

Laws; provided that each Party shall have the right to make any such filing as it reasonably

determines necessary under Applicable Laws. In addition, following the initial joint press

release announcing this Agreement, either Party shall be free to disclose, without the other

Party's prior written consent, the existence of this Agreement, the identity of the other Party and

those terms of the Agreement which have already been publicly disclosed in accordance

herewith.

**14.6Prior Confidentiality Agreement.** As of the Effective Date, the terms of this

Article 14 shall supersede any prior non-disclosure, secrecy or confidentiality agreement

between the Parties (or their Affiliates) relating to the subject of this Agreement, including the

Confidentiality Agreement. Any information disclosed pursuant to any such prior agreement

shall be deemed Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement.

**14.7Equitable Relief.** Given the nature of the Confidential Information and the

competitive damage that a Party would suffer upon unauthorized disclosure, use or transfer of its

Confidential Information to any Third Party, the Parties agree that monetary damages may not be

a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article 14. In addition to all other remedies, a Party

shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a

remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Article 14.

**15. Term and Termination**

**15.1Term.**

**(a)**This Agreement shall commence on the Restatement Date and, unless

terminated earlier as provided in this Article 15 or by mutual written agreement of the Parties,

shall continue until the expiration of the last Royalty Term in the Licensee Territory (the

"**Term**").

**(b)**Notwithstanding anything herein, on a Product-by-Product and country-

by-country basis, upon the expiration of the Royalty Term (*i.e.,* all royalty payment obligations

for a Product in a country), the licenses granted to Licensee in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be

perpetual and fully paid-up with respect to such Product in such country, but thereafter shall be

on a non-exclusive basis.

**15.2Termination for Cause.**

**(a)Material Breach.** Each Party shall have the right to terminate this

Agreement immediately in its entirety upon written notice to the other Party if such other Party

materially breaches this Agreement and has not cured such breach to the reasonable satisfaction

of the other Party within [ \* ] ([ \* ] with respect to any payment breach) after notice of such

breach from the non-breaching Party. If the alleged breaching Party disputes in good faith the

existence or materiality of a breach specified in a notice provided by the other Party, and such

alleged breaching Party provides the other Party notice of such dispute within [ \* ], then the other

Party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 15.2 unless and until

an arbitral panel, in accordance with Article 16, has determined that the alleged breaching Party

has materially breached the Agreement and that such Party fails to cure such breach within the

applicable cure period set forth above following such decision. In the event Exelixis commences

an arbitration alleging material breach by Licensee and Licensee later delivers notice of

voluntary termination under Section 15.3(b), then, at the election of Exelixis, the period of time

set forth in Section 15.3(b) shall be reduced by an amount of time equal to the duration of time

from the commencement of the arbitration to the delivery of such notice, [ \* ].

**(b)Bankruptcy**. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement

immediately in its entirety upon written notice to the other Party if such other Party makes a

general assignment for the benefit of creditors, files an insolvency petition in bankruptcy,

petitions for or acquiesces in the appointment of any receiver, trustee or similar officer to

liquidate or conserve its business or any substantial part of its assets, commences under the laws

of any jurisdiction any proceeding involving its insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization,

adjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or any other similar proceeding for the release of

financially distressed debtors or becomes a party to any proceeding or action of the type

described above and such proceeding is not dismissed within [ \* ] after the commencement

thereof.

**(c)Patent Challenge**. Exelixis shall have the right to terminate this

Agreement immediately in its entirety upon written notice to Licensee if Licensee or any of its

Affiliates or Sublicensees directly, or indirectly through any Third Party, commences any

interference or opposition proceeding with respect to, challenges the validity or enforceability of,

or opposes any extension of or the grant of a supplementary protection certificate with respect to,

any Exelixis Patent.

**(d)Safety Reasons**. Either Party shall have the right to terminate this

Agreement upon written notice to the other Party if the terminating Party reasonably determines,

based upon additional information that becomes available or an analysis of the existing

information at any time, that the medical risk/benefit of such Product is so unfavorable that it

would be incompatible with the welfare of patients to Develop or Commercialize or to continue

to Develop or Commercialize such Product. Prior to any such termination, the terminating Party

shall comply with such internal review and management approval processes as it would normally

follow in connection with the termination of the development and commercialization of its own

products for safety reasons. The terminating Party shall document the decisions of such

committees or members of management and the basis therefor and shall make such minutes and

documentation available to the other Party promptly upon written request.

**(e)Discontinuation of Clinical Trials.** Licensee may terminate this

Agreement upon [ \* ] advance written notice to Exelixis, if substantially all ongoing Clinical

Trials of the Product are ordered or required to be terminated by the FDA or the EMA.

**15.3Termination without Cause.**

**(a)Termination in Its Entirety by Licensee**. Licensee shall have the right

to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, or for only the countries that are under the EMA

jurisdiction, without cause upon [ \* ] prior written notice to Exelixis if the EMA refuses to

approve the MAA for the Product in Renal Cell Carcinoma (2nd line therapy). For the purpose

of this Section 15.3(a), if EMA conditions such MAA Approval on the performance of additional

Phase 3b or other studies, then EMA shall not be deemed to have refused the approval of such

MAA.

**(b)Termination by Region by Licensee**. Licensee shall have the right to

terminate this Agreement on a Region-by-Region basis without cause upon [ \* ] prior written

notice to Exelixis following the First Commercial RCC Sale of any Product in a given Region;

provided however that Licensee may not provide such notice of termination of this Agreement in

a Region prior to the [ \* ] anniversary of the First Commercial RCC Sale of any Product (other

than Cometriq) in such Region. In the event that termination occurs for the EU, then termination

shall automatically be considered to have occurred for the entire Licensee Territory.

**15.4Effects of Termination.** Upon any termination of this Agreement by either

Party, the following will apply: If this Agreement is terminated only with respect to a particular

Region, then the following shall apply to the terminated Region and the terminated Region shall

be included in Exelixis Territory. For clarity, during the pendency of any dispute regarding

material breach and/or any termination notice period, all of the terms and conditions of this

Agreement shall remain in effect and the Parties shall continue to perform all of their respective

obligations hereunder.

**(a)Licenses**. All licenses granted by Exelixis to Licensee will automatically

terminate, including all sublicenses granted by Licensee to any Sublicensee. Except in the event

of termination by Licensee under Section 15.2(a) for material breach by Exelixis, the licenses

granted by Licensee to Exelixis shall survive such termination and shall automatically become

worldwide or for the terminated Region if the Agreement is terminated only for a particular

Region.

**(b)Regulatory Materials; Data.** Except in the event of termination by

Licensee under Section 15.2(a) for material breach by Exelixis, within [ \* ] of the effective date

of such termination, Licensee shall transfer and assign to Exelixis, at no cost to Exelixis, all

Regulatory Filings and Regulatory Approvals for the Products, Data from all preclinical, non-

clinical and clinical studies conducted by or on behalf of Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees

on the Product and all pharmacovigilance data (including all adverse event database) on the

Products. In addition, at Exelixis' request, Licensee shall provide Exelixis with reasonable

assistance with any inquiries and correspondence with Regulatory Authorities regarding the

Product in the Licensee Territory, such assistance shall be limited to a period of [ \* ] after such

termination and not to exceed a total of [ \* ] of working time without charge (with any additional

time to be charged at the FTE Rate). The transfer and assignment under this Section 15.4(b)

shall apply with respect to the terminated Region if the Agreement is terminated only for a

particular Region.

**(c)Development Wind-Down**. Licensee shall either, as directed by Exelixis,

(i) wind-down any ongoing Development activities (including any Clinical Trials) of Licensee

and its Affiliates and Sublicensees with respect to any Product in the Licensee Territory in an

orderly fashion or (ii) promptly transfer such Development activities to Exelixis or its designee,

in compliance with all Applicable Laws.

**(d)Cost of Ongoing Trials.** If there is any ongoing Clinical Trial of the

Product under the GDP for which the Parties are sharing cost, then Licensee shall continue to

share the cost of such Clinical Trial until the effective date of termination. The remaining costs

from the effective date of termination until completion of such Clinical Trial (or early

termination of such Clinical Trial by Exelixis) shall be either (i) borne entirely by Exelixis

following the effective date of termination if termination occurs as a result of Exelixis' breach, or

(ii) shared by Licensee for the duration of such Clinical Trial if termination occurs as a result of

Licensee's breach, or pursuant to Section 15.3 or Section 2.8(c)(i).

**(e)Commercial Wind-Down**. Licensee shall, as directed by Exelixis, (i)

continue certain ongoing Commercial activities of Licensee and its Affiliates and Sublicensees

with respect to any Product in the Licensee Territory for a period of up to [ \* ] as determined by

Exelixis, and (ii) handoff such Commercial activities to Exelixis or its designee, on a timetable to

be set by Exelixis, not to exceed [ \* ], and in compliance with all Applicable Laws. During such

commercial wind-down period, the Licensee shall continue to book sales and pay royalties to

Exelixis. Except as necessary to conduct the foregoing activities as directed by Exelixis,

Licensee shall immediately discontinue its (and shall ensure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees

immediately discontinue their) promotion, marketing, offering for sale, and servicing of the

Product and its use of all Product Marks. In addition, Licensee shall immediately deliver to

COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.

Exelixis (at Licensee's expense) all samples, demonstration equipment, sales materials, catalogs,

and literature of Exelixis in Licensee's possession or control.

**(f)Transition Assistance.** Licensee shall use Commercially Reasonable

Efforts to seek an orderly transition of the Development and Commercialization of the

Compound and Products to Exelixis or its designee. Except for termination by Licensee under

Section 15.2, Exelixis may, in its sole discretion, postpone the effective date of any termination

for a period of up to [ \* ]. Except in the event of termination by Licensee under Section 15.2(a)

for material breach by Exelixis, Licensee shall, at no cost to Exelixis, provide reasonable

consultation and assistance for a period of no more than [ \* ] after termination (and in any case

not to exceed a total of [ \* ] of working time including the assistance provided under Section

15.4(b)) for the purpose of transferring or transitioning to Exelixis all Licensee Know-How not

already in Exelixis' possession and, at Exelixis' request, all then-existing commercial

arrangements relating to the Products that Licensee is able, using Commercially Reasonable

Efforts, to transfer or transition to Exelixis or its designee, in each case, to the extent reasonably

necessary or for Exelixis to continue the Development and/or Commercialization of the

Compound and Products in the Licensee Territory. If any such contract between Licensee and a

Third Party is not assignable to Exelixis or its designee (whether by such contract's terms or

because such contract does not relate specifically to the Products) but is otherwise reasonably

necessary for Exelixis to continue the Development and/or Commercialization of the Compound

and Products in the Licensee Territory, or if Licensee is performing such work for the Compound

and Product itself (and thus there is no contract to assign), then Licensee shall reasonably

cooperate with Exelixis to negotiate for the continuation of such services for Exelixis from such

entity, or Licensee shall continue to perform such work for Exelixis, as applicable, for a

reasonable period (not to exceed [ \* ]) after termination at Exelixis' cost until Exelixis

establishes an alternate, validated source of such services.

**(g)Remaining Inventories.** Exelixis shall have the right, at its discretion, to

purchase from Licensee any or all of the inventory of the Products held by Licensee as of the

date of termination at a price equal to the transfer price paid by Licensee to acquire such

inventory from Exelixis. Exelixis shall notify Licensee within [ \* ] after the date of termination

whether Exelixis elects to exercise such right.

**(h)Non-Compete**. Following any termination of this Agreement by Licensee

pursuant to Section 2.8(c)(i) or Section 15.3, or by Exelixis pursuant to Section 15.2, neither

Licensee nor any of its Affiliates shall (directly or indirectly, either with or without a bona fide

collaborator or any other Third Party) commercialize any Competing Product for either (i) a

period of [ \* ] (in case of termination pursuant to Section 2.8(c)(i)) or [ \* ] (in case of termination

by Licensee pursuant to Section 15.3 or Exelixis pursuant to Section 15.2) following the

effective date of such termination, or (ii) [ \* ], whichever is shorter.

**15.5Confidential Information.** Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement in

its entirety, except to the extent that a Party obtains or retains the right to use the other Party's

Confidential Information, each Party shall promptly return to the other Party, or delete or

destroy, all relevant records and materials in such Party's possession or control containing

Confidential Information of the other Party; provided that such Party may keep one copy of such

materials for archival purposes only subject to continuing confidentiality obligations. All

Licensee Data and Regulatory Filings assigned to Exelixis upon termination of this Agreement

will be deemed Exelixis' Confidential Information and no longer Licensee's Confidential

Information.

**15.6Survival.** Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the

Parties of any obligation or right accruing prior to such expiration or termination. Except as set

forth below or elsewhere in this Agreement, the obligations and rights of the Parties under the

following provisions of this Agreement shall survive expiration or termination of this

Agreement: Article 1 (Definitions); Article 10 (Payments, Records, Audits); Article 13

(Indemnification); Article 15 (Dispute Resolution); Article 17 (General Provisions); Section 5.10

(Sunshine Reporting Laws); Section 11.1 (IP Ownership); Sections 14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.6, 14.7

(Confidentiality); and Section 15.4 (Effects of Termination).

**15.7Exercise of Right to Terminate.** All rights and obligations of a Party accrued

prior to the effective date of a termination (including the rights to receive reimbursement for

costs incurred prior to the effective date of such termination and payments accrued or due prior

to the effective date of such termination) shall survive such termination.

**15.8Rights in Bankruptcy.** All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this

Agreement by one Party to the other Party are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes

of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or comparable provision of applicable

bankruptcy or insolvency laws, licenses of right to "intellectual property" as defined under

Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or comparable provision of applicable bankruptcy or

insolvency laws. The Parties agree that a Party that is a licensee of such rights under this

Agreement will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S.

Bankruptcy Code or comparable provision of applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws. The

Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or

against a Party to this Agreement under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or comparable provision of

applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws, the other Party will be entitled to a complete duplicate

of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of

such intellectual property, and same, if not already in its possession, will be promptly delivered

to it (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding upon its written

request therefor, unless the bankrupt Party elects to continue to perform all of its obligations

under this Agreement, or (b) if not delivered under (a) above, following the rejection of this

Agreement by or on behalf of the bankrupt Party upon written request therefor by the other Party.

**16. Dispute Resolution**

**16.1Objective.** The Parties recognize that disputes as to matters arising under or

relating to this Agreement or either Party's rights and obligations hereunder may arise from time

to time. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of

such disputes in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation. To

accomplish this objective, the Parties agree to follow the procedures set forth in this Article 16 to

resolve any such dispute if and when it arises.

**16.2Executive Mediation**. The Parties will try to settle any dispute, controversy or

claim that arises out of, or relates to, any provision of the Agreement ("**Disputed Matter**") by

first referring the Disputed Matter to the CEO of Exelixis (or his designee) and the CEO of

Licensee (or his designee). Either Party may initiate such informal dispute resolution by sending

written notice of the Disputed Matter to the other Party, and, within [ \* ] after such notice, such

CEOs (or their respective designees having the authority to settle such Disputed Matter) of the

Parties will meet for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations. If such CEOs (or their

respective designees) are unable to resolve such dispute within [ \* ] of their first meeting for such

negotiations, either Party may seek to have such dispute resolved in accordance with Section

16.3 below.

COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.

**16.3Dispute Resolution.**

**(a)**If the Parties are unable to resolve a Disputed Matter using the process

described in Section 16.2, then a Party seeking further resolution of the Disputed Matter will

submit the Disputed Matter to resolution by final and binding arbitration. Whenever a Party will

decide to institute arbitration proceedings, it will give written notice to that effect to the other

Party. Arbitration will be held in London, the United Kingdom, and administered by the

International Chamber of Commerce pursuant to its ICC International Arbitration Rules then in

effect (the "**Rules**"), except as otherwise provided herein and applying the substantive law

specified in Section 16.1. The arbitration will be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators

appointed in accordance with the Rules; *provided* that each Party will, within [ \* ] after the

institution of the arbitration proceedings, appoint an arbitrator, and such arbitrators will together,

within [ \* ], select a third (3rd) arbitrator as the chairman of the arbitration panel. Each arbitrator

must have significant business or legal experience in the pharmaceutical business. If the two (2)

initial arbitrators are unable to select a third (3rd) arbitrator within such [ \* ] period, the third

(3rd) arbitrator will be appointed in accordance with Rules. The Parties hereby agree to engage

in discovery of information and evidence that is or might be relevant to the claims, defenses, and

issues in the dispute, including by means of [ \* ]. The Parties further agree to the ability, right,

and power to subpoena Third Party witnesses for both discovery and hearing purposes. The

discovery provided for herein may commence once the Terms of Reference have been signed by

the Parties and the panel of arbitrators. The panel of arbitrators shall address the time required

for the completion of discovery at the initial case management conference and shall address any

discovery issues if any arise based on motion and arbitral order. After conducting any hearing

and taking any evidence deemed appropriate for consideration, the arbitrators will be requested

to render their opinion within [ \* ] of the final arbitration hearing. No panel of arbitrators will

have the power to award damages excluded pursuant to Section 13.5 under this Agreement and

any arbitral award that purports to award such damages is expressly prohibited and void *ab*

*initio*. Decisions of the panel of arbitrators that conform to the terms of this Section 16.3 will be

final and binding on the Parties and judgment on the award so rendered may be entered in any

court of competent jurisdiction. The losing Party, as determined by the panel of arbitrators, will

pay all of the ICC administrative costs and fees of the arbitration and the fees and costs of the

arbitrators, and the arbitrators will be directed to provide for payment or reimbursement of such

fees and costs by the losing Party. If the panel of arbitrators determines that there is no losing

Party, the Parties will each bear or pay one-half of those costs and fees and the arbitrators' award

will so provide. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party is to bear or pay its own attorneys'

fees, expert or witness fees, and any other fees and costs, and no such fees or costs will be shifted

to the other Party.

**(b)**Notwithstanding the terms of and procedures set forth in Section 16.2 or

16.3(a), any applications, motions or orders to show cause seeking temporary restraining orders,

preliminary injunctions or other similar preliminary or temporary legal or equitable relief

("**Injunctive Relief**") concerning a Disputed Matter (including, but not limited to, Disputed

Matters arising out of a potential or actual breach of the confidentiality and non-use provisions in

Article 14) may immediately be brought in the first instance and without invocation or

exhaustion of the procedures set forth in subsections 16.3(a) and 16.3(b) for hearing and

resolution in and by a court of competent jurisdiction. Alternatively, a party seeking Injunctive

Relief may immediately institute arbitral proceedings without invocation or exhaustion of the

procedures set forth in subsections 16.3(a) and 16.3(b), and any such Injunctive Relief

proceedings will be administered in accordance with by the ICC pursuant to its ICC emergency

arbitration procedures then in effect and applying the substantive law specified in Section 16.2.

In either event, once the Injunctive Relief proceedings have been conducted and a decision

rendered thereon by the court or arbitral forum, the Parties will, if the Disputed Matter is not

finally resolved by the Injunctive Relief, proceed to resolve the Disputed Matter in accordance

with the terms of Section 16.2 and 16.3(a).

**(c)**Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 16.3 shall not apply to any

dispute, controversy or claim that concerns (i) the validity, enforceability or infringement of a

patent, trademark or copyright; or (ii) any antitrust, anti-monopoly or competition law or

regulation, whether or not statutory.

This Agreement may only be modified or supplemented in a writing expressly stated for such

purpose and signed by the Parties to this Agreement.

**17.3Relationship Between the Parties.** The Parties' relationship, as established by

this Agreement, is solely that of independent contractors. This Agreement does not create any

partnership, joint venture or similar business relationship between the Parties. Neither Party is a

legal representative of the other Party, and neither Party can assume or create any obligation,

representation, warranty or guarantee, express or implied, on behalf of the other Party for any

purpose whatsoever.

**17.4Non-Waiver.** The failure of a Party to insist upon strict performance of any

provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right arising out of this Agreement shall neither

impair that provision or right nor constitute a waiver of that provision or right, in whole or in

right shall be in writing, shall be as to a particular matter and, if applicable, for a particular

period of time and shall be signed by such Party.

any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred by either Party

without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably

withheld); provided, however, that either Party may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement

and its rights and obligations hereunder without the other Party's consent:

**(a)**in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the

business or assets of such Party relating to the Compound and Products to a Third Party, whether

the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties specified above, and the name

of a Party appearing herein will be deemed to include the name of such Party's successors and

permitted assigns to the extent necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 17.5. Any

assignment not in accordance with this Section 17.5 shall be null and void.

**17.6Severability.** If, for any reason, any part of this Agreement is adjudicated invalid,

unenforceable or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, such adjudication shall not, to the

extent feasible, affect or impair, in whole or in part, the validity, enforceability, or legality of any

remaining portions of this Agreement. All remaining portions shall remain in full force and

effect as if the original Agreement had been executed without the invalidated, unenforceable or

illegal part.

**EXELIXIS AND IPSEN ENTER INTO EXCLUSIVE LICENSING** 

**AGREEMENT TO COMMERCIALIZE AND DEVELOP NOVEL CANCER THERAPY** 

**CABOZANTINIB IN REGIONS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES, CANADA AND JAPAN**

*-* ***Cabozantinib commercialized for medullary thyroid cancer (MTC)***

***and filed for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) -***

*-* ***$200 million upfront payment and subsequent regulatory and commercial milestones*** *-*

**South San Francisco, Calif. and Paris, France – February 29, 2016 –** Exelixis, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXEL)

and Ipsen (Euronext: IPN; ADR: IPSEY) today jointly announced an exclusive licensing agreement for the

commercialization and further development of cabozantinib, Exelixis' lead oncology drug. Under the

agreement, Ipsen will have exclusive commercialization rights for current and potential future cabozantinib

indications outside of the United States, Canada and Japan. This agreement includes rights to

COMETRIQ<sup>®</sup>, which is currently approved in the European Union (EU) for the treatment of adult patients

with progressive, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). The

companies have agreed to collaborate on the development of cabozantinib for current and potential future

indications. Exelixis will maintain exclusive commercial rights for cabozantinib in the United States and

Canada, and continue its discussions to partner commercial rights in Japan.

Under the agreement, Exelixis will receive a $200 million upfront payment. Exelixis is eligible to receive

regulatory milestones, including $60 million upon the approval of cabozantinib in Europe for advanced

renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and $50 million upon the filing and approval of cabozantinib in Europe for

advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as well as additional regulatory milestones for potential further

indications. The agreement also includes up to $545 million of potential commercial milestones and

provides for Exelixis to receive tiered royalties up to 26% on Ipsen's net sales of cabozantinib in its

territories.

Marc de Garidel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ipsen said: "The robust results from the

METEOR study in advanced renal cell carcinoma demonstrate that cabozantinib has the potential to become

a key oncology product in Europe. This transaction will help Ipsen accelerate the growth of the company

and strengthen its oncology footprint in Europe. We are excited to bring cabozantinib to patients and

clinicians around the world."

Future commercial indications for cabozantinib could include advanced HCC, the subject of CELESTIAL,

an Exelixis-sponsored phase 3 pivotal trial for which top-line results are anticipated in 2017. Additional

earlier-stage studies are under way through Exelixis' collaboration with the National Cancer Institute's

Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (NCI-CTEP), and its ongoing Investigator-Sponsored Trial (IST)

program. Through these two programs, there are more than 45 ongoing or planned studies including trials

in advanced RCC, bladder cancer, colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and endometrial cancer.

"In Ipsen, Exelixis has an ideal partner to maximize the potential for cabozantinib to have a positive impact

on the treatment of cancer on a global basis," said Michael M. Morrissey, Ph.D., President and Chief

Executive Officer of Exelixis. "Ipsen's established international oncology marketing presence, late-stage

clinical development expertise and shared vision with Exelixis for the franchise potential of cabozantinib

will accelerate cabozantinib's commercialization in its territories, while Exelixis remains focused on our

launch in the United States. While our immediate priority will be on advanced renal cell carcinoma,

Exelixis and Ipsen are committed to exploring and potentially developing cabozantinib in a variety of

cancer settings."

Cabozantinib is a small molecule therapy that inhibits the activity of tyrosine kinases including VEGF

receptors, MET, AXL, and RET. Following positive results from the METEOR global phase 3 pivotal trial,

the tablet form of cabozantinib is the subject of pending U.S. and EU regulatory applications for use as a

treatment for advanced RCC in patients who have received one prior therapy. In the EU, the Marketing

Authorization Application (MAA) for cabozantinib in advanced RCC has been accepted and granted

accelerated assessment. With this designation, the MAA is eligible for a 150-day review, versus the

standard 210 days (excluding clock stops when information is requested by the EMA). Exelixis plans to

transfer sponsorship of this MAA to Ipsen. Exelixis also anticipates transitioning the commercialization

rights to COMETRIQ<sup>®</sup> outside the U.S. from Exelixis' current international partner for COMETRIQ<sup>®</sup>,

Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (Sobi), to Ipsen, in accordance with the terms of its agreement with Sobi. In

March 2014, the capsule form of cabozantinib was approved by the European Commission under the trade

name COMETRIQ for the treatment of patients with progressive, unresectable, locally advanced or

metastatic MTC.

**About the METEOR Phase 3 Clinical Trial**

METEOR is a global, randomized open-label trial that compares cabozantinib to everolimus, a standard of

care therapy, in 658 patients with advanced RCC whose disease progressed following treatment with a

VEGF receptor (VEGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). The trial's primary endpoint is progression-free

survival (PFS), and secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS) and objective response rate (ORR).

Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive 60 mg of cabozantinib or 10 mg of everolimus daily, and were

stratified based on number of prior VEGFR TKI therapies and on commonly applied RCC risk criteria. No

crossover was allowed.

As published in the *New England Journal of Medicine*, the trial met its primary PFS and secondary ORR

endpoints.<sup>1</sup> Cabozantinib demonstrated a 42% reduction in the rate of disease progression or death as

compared with everolimus, with median PFS of 7.4 months versus 3.8 months for everolimus (Hazard Ratio

[HR]=0.58, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 0.45-0.75, p<0.001).

Following a pre-planned interim analysis that showed a strong trend in OS favoring cabozantinib (HR=0.67,

95% CI 0.51-0.89, p=0.005) but did not reach statistical significance, Exelixis undertook a second interim

analysis after consulting with regulatory authorities. The results of this second interim analysis

demonstrated a highly statistically significant and clinically meaningful increase in OS for cabozantinib.

Exelixis has shared these data with regulators and intends to present them at a medical conference later this

year.

Cabozantinib's safety profile was similar to that of other VEGFR TKIs in this patient population. The

incidence of adverse events (any grade), regardless of causality, was 100% with cabozantinib and more than

99% with everolimus. Serious adverse events occurred in 40% of cabozantinib patients and 43% of

everolimus patients. The rate of treatment discontinuation due to adverse events was low (~10%) in both

treatment arms.

**About Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma**

The American Cancer Society's 2015 statistics cite kidney cancer as among the top ten most commonly

diagnosed forms of cancer among both men and women in the U.S.<sup>2</sup> Clear cell RCC is the most common

type of kidney cancer in adults.<sup>3</sup> If detected in its early stages, the five-year survival rate for RCC is high;

however, the five-year survival rate for patients with advanced or late-stage metastatic RCC is under 10

percent, with no identified cure for the disease.<sup>4</sup>

Until the introduction of targeted therapies into the RCC setting a decade ago, treatments for metastatic

RCC had historically been limited to cytokine therapy (e.g., interleukin-2 and interferon). In the second-

and later-line settings, which encompass approximately 17,000 drug-eligible patients in the U.S. and 37,000

globally,<sup>5</sup> two small-molecule therapies and an immune checkpoint inhibitor have been approved. The

currently approved small-molecule agents have shown little differentiation in terms of efficacy,

demonstrating only modest PFS benefit in patients refractory to sunitinib, a commonly-used first-line

therapy.

**About Cabozantinib**

Cabozantinib is currently marketed in capsule form under the brand name COMETRIQ<sup>®</sup> in the United

States for the treatment of progressive, metastatic MTC, and in the European Union for the treatment of

adult patients with progressive, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic MTC. COMETRIQ is not

indicated for patients with RCC. In the METEOR trial, and all other cancer trials currently underway,

Exelixis is investigating a tablet formulation of cabozantinib distinct from the COMETRIQ capsule form.

The tablet formulation of cabozantinib is the subject of the NDA and MAA for advanced RCC.

Cabozantinib inhibits the activity of tyrosine kinases including VEGF receptors, MET, AXL and RET.

These receptor tyrosine kinases are involved in both normal cellular function and in pathologic processes

such as oncogenesis, metastasis, tumor angiogenesis and maintenance of the tumor microenvironment.

The European Commission granted COMETRIQ conditional approval for the treatment of adult patients

with progressive, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic MTC. Similar to another drug approved in

this setting, the approved indication states that for patients in whom Rearranged during Transfection (RET)

mutation status is not known or is negative, a possible lower benefit should be taken into account before

individual treatment decisions.

**Important Safety Information, including Boxed WARNINGS**

statements are based.

**Ipsen Forward-Looking Statement Disclaimer**

The forward-looking statements, objectives and targets contained herein are based on the Group's

management strategy, current views and assumptions. Such statements involve known and unknown risks

and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those

anticipated herein. All of the above risks could affect the Group's future ability to achieve its financial

targets, which were set assuming reasonable macroeconomic conditions based on the information available

today. Use of the words "believes," "anticipates" and "expects" and similar expressions are intended to

identify forward-looking statements, including the Group's expectations regarding future events, including

regulatory filings and determinations. Moreover, the targets described in this document were prepared

without taking into account external growth assumptions and potential future acquisitions, which may alter

these parameters. These objectives are based on data and assumptions regarded as reasonable by the

Group. These targets depend on conditions or facts likely to happen in the future, and not exclusively on

historical data. Actual results may depart significantly from these targets given the occurrence of certain

risks and uncertainties, notably the fact that a promising product in early development phase or clinical trial

may end up never being launched on the market or reaching its commercial targets, notably for regulatory

or competition reasons. The Group must face or might face competition from generic products that might

translate into a loss of market share. Furthermore, the Research and Development process involves several

stages each of which involves the substantial risk that the Group may fail to achieve its objectives and be

forced to abandon its efforts with regards to a product in which it has invested significant sums. Therefore,

the Group cannot be certain that favorable results obtained during pre-clinical trials will be confirmed

subsequently during clinical trials, or that the results of clinical trials will be sufficient to demonstrate the

safe and effective nature of the product concerned. There can be no guarantees a product will receive the

necessary regulatory approvals or that the product will prove to be commercially successful. If underlying

assumptions prove inaccurate or risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may differ materially from

those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Other risks and uncertainties include but are not limited

to, general industry conditions and competition; general economic factors, including interest rate and

currency exchange rate fluctuations; the impact of pharmaceutical industry regulation and health care

legislation; global trends toward health care cost containment; technological advances, new products and

patents attained by competitors; challenges inherent in new product development, including obtaining

regulatory approval; the Group's ability to accurately predict future market conditions; manufacturing

difficulties or delays; financial instability of international economies and sovereign risk; dependence on the

effectiveness of the Group's patents and other protections for innovative products; and the exposure to

litigation, including patent litigation, and/or regulatory actions. The Group also depends on third parties to

develop and market some of its products which could potentially generate substantial royalties; these

partners could behave in such ways which could cause damage to the Group's activities and financial

results. The Group cannot be certain that its partners will fulfill their obligations. It might be unable to

obtain any benefit from those agreements. A default by any of the Group's partners could generate lower

revenues than expected. Such situations could have a negative impact on the Group's business, financial

position or performance. The Group expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise

any forward looking statements, targets or estimates contained in this press release to reflect any change in

events, conditions, assumptions or circumstances on which any such statements are based, unless so

required by applicable law. The Group's business is subject to the risk factors outlined in its registration

documents filed with the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers.
