Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
We are a biotechnology company dedicated to discovering, developing and providing novel therapies that significantly improve the lives of patients with hematologic disorders and cancer. We focus on products that address signaling pathways that are critical to disease mechanisms.
Our first product approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is TAVALISSE ® (fostamatinib disodium hexahydrate) tablets, the only approved oral spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) inhibitor for the treatment of adult patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who have had an insufficient response to a previous treatment. The product is also commercially available in Europe and the United Kingdom (UK) (as TAVLESSE), and in Canada, Israel and Japan (as TAVALISSE) for the treatment of chronic ITP in adult patients.
Our second FDA approved product is REZLIDHIA ® (olutasidenib) capsules for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a susceptible isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) mutation as detected by an FDA-approved test. We began our commercialization of REZLIDHIA in December 2022. W e in-licensed olutasidenib from Forma Therapeutics, Inc. (now Novo Nordisk), with exclusive, worldwide rights for its development, manufacturing and commercialization.
We continue to advance the development of our interleukin receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) 1/4 inhibitor program, in an open-label, Phase 1b trial to determine the tolerability and preliminary efficacy of the drug in patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who are refractory or resistant to prior therapies.
We have a receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) inhibitor program in clinical development with our partner Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly). We also have product candidates in clinical development with partners BerGenBio ASA (BerGenBio) and Daiichi Sankyo (Daiichi).
Basis of Presentation
Our accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP), for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed financial statements include only normal and recurring adjustments that we believe are necessary to fairly state our financial position and the results of our operations and cash flows. Interim-period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for a full-year or any subsequent interim period. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. Because certain disclosures required by US GAAP for complete financial statements are not included herein, these interim unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes accompanying them should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 7, 2023.

Table of Contents
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in “Note 1 – Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our “Notes to Financial Statements” contained in “Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no material changes to these accounting policies.
Liquidity
As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $ 62.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of equity securities, debt financing, contract payments under our collaboration agreements and from product sales.
Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments will be sufficient to fund our expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of this Form 10-Q.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently issued accounting guidance is either not applicable or did not have, or is not expected to have, a material impact to us.
2.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include stock options, RSUs and shares issuable under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Purchase Plan). The dilutive effect of these potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of our common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.
The potential shares of common stock that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have been antidilutive are as follows (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2023, total future contingent payments to us under all of the above existing agreements, excluding terminated agreements, could exceed $ 1.3 billion if all potential product candidates achieved all of the payment triggering events under all of our current agreements. Of this amount, $ 279.5 million relates to the achievement of development events, $ 263.1 million relates to the achievement of regulatory events and $ 796.0 million relates to the achievement of certain commercial events. This estimated future contingent amount does not include any estimated royalties that could be due to us if the partners successfully commercialize any of the licensed products. Future events that may trigger payments to us under the agreements are based solely on our partners’ future efforts and achievements of specified development, regulatory and/or commercial events.
Global Exclusive License Agreement with Lilly
We have a global exclusive license agreement and strategic collaboration with Lilly (Lilly Agreement) entered in February 2021, which became effective on March 27, 2021, upon clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, to develop and commercialize R552 for the treatment of non-CNS diseases. In addition, the collaboration is aimed at developing additional RIPK1 inhibitors for the treatment of CNS diseases. Pursuant to the terms of the Lilly Agreement, we granted Lilly the exclusive rights to develop and commercialize R552 and related RIPK1 inhibitors in all indications worldwide. The parties’ collaboration is governed through a joint governance committee and appropriate subcommittees.
Under the terms of the Lilly Agreement, we were entitled to receive a non-refundable and non-creditable upfront cash payment amounting to $ 125.0 million, which we received in April 2021. We are also entitled to additional milestone payments for non-CNS disease products consisting of up to $ 330.0 million in milestone payments upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial milestones, and up to $ 100.0 million in sales milestone payments on a product-by-product basis. In addition, depending on the extent of our co-funding of R552 development activities, we would be entitled to receive tiered royalty payments on net sales of non-CNS disease products at percentages ranging from the mid-single digits to high-teens, subject to certain standard reductions and offsets. We are also eligible to receive milestone payments for CNS disease products consisting of up to $ 255.0 million in milestone payments upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial milestones, and up to $ 150.0 million in sales milestone payments on a product-by-product basis. We would be entitled to receive tiered royalty

payments on net sales of CNS disease products up to low-double digits, subject to certain standard reductions and offsets.
Under the Lilly Agreement, we are responsible for performing and funding initial discovery and identification of CNS disease development candidates. Following candidate selection, Lilly will be responsible for performing and funding all future development and commercialization of the CNS disease development candidates. We are responsible for 20 % of development costs for R552 in the US, Europe, and Japan, up to a specified cap, and Lilly is responsible for funding the remainder of all development activities for R552 and other non-CNS disease development candidates. Pursuant to the terms of the Lilly Agreement, we have the right to opt-out of co-funding the R552 development activities in the US, Europe and Japan at two different specified times and as a result receive lesser royalties from sales. Prior to us providing our first opt-out notice as discussed below, under the Lilly Agreement, we were required to fund our share of the R552 development activities up to a maximum funding commitment of $ 65.0 million through April 1, 2024.
On September 28, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Lilly Agreement which provides, among others that if we exercise our first opt-out right, we have the right to opt-in to the co-funding of R552 development, upon us providing notice to Lilly within 30 days of certain events as specified in the Lilly Agreement, and as a result receive greater royalties from sales. If we decide to exercise our opt-in right, we will be required to continue to share in global development costs, and if we later exercise our second opt-out right (no later than April 1, 2025), our share in global development costs will be up to a specified cap through December 31, 2025, as provided for in the Lilly Agreement.
On September 29, 2023, we provided the first opt-out notice to Lilly. We will continue to fund our share of the R552 development activities up to $ 22.6 million through April 1, 2024 as provided for in the amended Lilly Agreement.
We accounted for this agreement under ASC 606 and identified the following distinct performance obligations at inception of the agreement: (a) granting of the license rights over the non-CNS penetrant intellectual property (IP), and (b) granting of the license rights over the CNS penetrant IP which will be delivered to Lilly upon completion of the additional research and development efforts specified in the agreement. We concluded that each of these performance obligations is distinct. We based our assessment on the assumption that Lilly can benefit from each of the licenses on its own by developing and commercializing the underlying product using its own resources.
At the inception of the Lilly Agreement, given our rights to opt-out from the development of R552, we believed at the minimum, we had a commitment to fund the development costs up to $ 65.0 million as discussed above. We considered this commitment to fund the development costs as a significant financing component of the contract, which we accounted for as a reduction of the upfront fee to derive the transaction price. This financing component was recorded as a liability at its net present value of approximately $ 57.9 million using a 6.4 % discount rate. Interest expense is accreted on such liability over the expected commitment period, adjusted for timing of expected cost share payments. No interest was accreted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and $ 0.7 million of interest was accreted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Through September 30, 2023, Lilly billed us $ 17.7 million for our share of development costs, and the amount was fully paid as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding liability to Lilly was $ 43.6 million and $ 46.2 million, respectively, and included within other long-term liabilities, current portion, and other long-term liabilities in the condensed balance sheet. As discussed above, following the amendment to the Lilly Agreement, and us providing the first opt-out notice to Lilly, our cumulative share of the R552 development cost is now capped at $ 22.6 million through April 1, 2024. Although our cumulative share of the development cost is now at the specified cap that is less than our outstanding recorded liability at the balance sheet date, such excess amount has not been recognized as revenue because we cannot conclude that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of revenue, if recognized, will not occur until the likelihood of us exercising our opt-in right becomes remote, or when the opt-in right period lapses.
At the inception, we allocated the net transaction price of $ 67.1 million to each performance obligation based on our best estimate of its relative standalone selling price using the adjusted market assessment approach. The transaction price allocated to the non-CNS penetrant IP of $ 60.4 million was recognized as revenue upon delivery of the non-CNS penetrant IP to Lilly during the first quarter of 2021. The transaction price allocated to the CNS penetrant IP of $ 6.7 million was recognized as revenue from the effective date of the Lilly Agreement through the eventual acceptance by Lilly using the input method, since we were required to perform additional research and development efforts before the final acceptance of the license by Lilly. In June 2022, Lilly provided notice of continuance pursuant to the terms of the Lilly Agreement, whereby Lilly elected its option to lead the identification and selection of CNS penetrant lead

candidate. As such, we recognized the remaining outstanding deferred revenue in the second quarter of 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized no revenue and $ 0.5 million of revenue, respectively, associated with the delivery of CNS penetrant IP. No such revenue was recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The remaining future variable consideration related to future milestone payments as discussed above were fully constrained because we cannot conclude that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur, given the inherent uncertainty of success with these future milestones. For sales-based milestones and royalties, we determined that the license is the predominant item to which the royalties or sales-based milestones relate. Accordingly, we will recognize revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). We will re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.
Grifols License Agreement
We have an exclusive commercialization license agreement with Grifols entered in January 2019 with exclusive rights to commercialize fostamatinib for human diseases, including chronic ITP and AIHA, and non-exclusive rights to develop fostamatinib in Grifols territory. Under the agreement, we received an upfront payment of $ 30.0 million, with the potential for $ 297.5 million in total regulatory and commercial milestones. We are also entitled to receive stepped double-digit royalty payments based on tiered net sales which may reach 30 % of net sales. The agreement also required us to continue to conduct our long-term open-label extension study on patients with ITP through European Medicines Agency (EMA) approval of ITP in Europe or until the study ends as well as conduct the Phase 3 trial of fostamatinib in AIHA.
In January 2020, the European Commission (EC) granted a centralized Marketing Authorization (MA) for fostamatinib valid throughout the European Union (EU) and in the UK after the departure of the UK from the EU for the treatment of chronic ITP in adult patients who are refractory to other treatments. With this approval, in February 2020, we received $ 20.0 million non-refundable payment, composed of a $ 17.5 million payment due upon Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) approval by the EMA of fostamatinib for the first indication and a $ 2.5 million creditable advance royalty payment, based on the terms of our collaboration agreement with Grifols. The above milestone payment was allocated to the distinct performance obligations in the collaboration agreement with Grifols.
We accounted for this agreement under ASC 606 and identified the following distinct performance obligations at inception of the agreement: (a) granting of the license, (b) performance of research and regulatory services related to our long-term open-label extension study on patients with ITP, and (c) performance of research services related to our Phase 3 study in AIHA. We allocated the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations in our collaboration agreement based on our best estimate of the relative standalone selling price, and recognized the corresponding revenue in the periods we satisfied the performance obligations. As of September 30, 2023, there was no outstanding deferred revenue. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $ 0.2 million and $ 0.7 million, respectively, of revenue associated with such remaining performance obligation.
The remaining variable consideration related to future regulatory and commercial milestones were fully constrained because we cannot conclude that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur, given the inherent uncertainty of success with these future milestones. We are recognizing revenues related to the research and regulatory services throughout the term of the respective clinical programs using the input method. For sales-based milestones and royalties, we determined that the license is the predominant item to which the royalties or sales-based milestones relate. Accordingly, we will recognize revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). We will re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.

We entered into a Commercial Supply Agreement with Grifols in October 2020 to supply and sell our drug product priced at a certain markup specified in the agreement, in quantities Grifols order from us pursuant to and in accordance with the agreement. Prior to the Commercial Supply Agreement, we had a Drug Product Purchase Agreement with Grifols entered in December 2019. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized no revenue and $ 2.8 million of revenue, respectively, related to delivery of drug supply to Grifols. D uring the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $ 0.4 million and $ 1.6 million of revenue, respectively, related to delivery of drug supply to Grifols .
We began recognizing royalty revenue from Grifols included within contract revenues from collaboration beginning in the third quarter of 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $ 0.8 million and $ 2.3 million, respectively, of royalty revenue from Grifols. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $ 0.1 million of royalty revenue from Grifols.
Kissei License Agreement
We have an exclusive license and supply agreement with Kissei entered in October 2018, to develop and commercialize fostamatinib in all current and potential indications in Kissei’s territory. Kissei is responsible for performing and funding all development activities for fostamatinib in the above-mentioned territories. We received an upfront cash payment of $ 33.0 million, with the potential for up to an additional $ 147.0 million in development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments, and will receive mid- to upper twenty percent, tiered, escalated net sales-based payments for the supply of fostamatinib. Under the agreement, we granted Kissei the license rights to fostamatinib in Kissei’s territory and are obligated to supply Kissei with drug product for use in clinical trials and pre-commercialization activities. We are also responsible for the manufacture and supply of fostamatinib for all future development and commercialization activities under the agreement.
We accounted for this agreement under ASC 606 and identified the following distinct performance obligations at inception of the agreement: (a) granting of the license, (b) supply of fostamatinib for clinical use and (c) material right associated with discounted fostamatinib that is supplied for use other than clinical or commercial. In addition, we will provide commercial product supply if the product is approved in the licensed territory. We concluded that each of these performance obligations is distinct. We determined that the upfront fee of $ 33.0 million represented the transaction price and was allocated to the performance obligations based on our best estimate of the relative standalone selling price and recognized the corresponding revenue in the period we satisfied the performance obligations. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the remaining deferred revenue was related to the material right associated with discounted fostamatinib supply which amounted to $ 1.4 million.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized an immaterial amount of revenue and $ 2.6 million of revenue, respectively, related to the delivery of fostamatinib supply to Kissei mainly for commercial use. No such revenue was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
In April 2022, Kissei announced that an NDA was submitted to Japan’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) for fostamatinib in chronic ITP. With this milestone event, we received $ 5.0 million non-refundable and non-creditable payment from Kissei pursuant to the terms of our collaboration agreement, and such amount was recognized as revenue in the second quarter of 2022. In December 2022, Kissei announced that Japan’s PMDA approved the NDA for fostamatinib in chronic ITP. With this milestone event, we were entitled to receive $ 20.0 million non-refundable and non-creditable payment from Kissei pursuant to the terms of our collaboration agreement, which we recognized as revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 . The amount was subsequently collected in January 2023.
The remaining variable consideration related to future development and regulatory milestones was fully constrained because we cannot conclude that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur, given the inherent uncertainty of success with these future milestones. For sales-based milestones and tiered, escalated net sales-based payments for the supply of fostamatinib, we determined that the license is the predominant item to which the sales-based milestones relate to. Accordingly, we will recognize revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the allocated costs for the tiered, escalated net sales-based payments has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). We will re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.

Medison Commercial and License Agreements
We have two exclusive commercial and license agreements with Medison entered in October 2019 for the commercialization of fostamatinib for chronic ITP in Medison territory, pursuant to which, we received a $ 5.0 million upfront payment with respect to the agreement in Canada. We accounted for this agreement under ASC 606 and identified the following combined performance obligations at inception of the agreement: (a) granting of the license and (b) obtaining regulatory approval in Canada of fostamatinib in ITP. We determined that the non-refundable upfront fee of $ 5.0 million represented the transaction price. However, under the agreement, we have the option to buy back all rights to the product in Canada within six months from obtaining regulatory approval for the treatment of AIHA in Canada. The buyback option precludes us from transferring control of the license to Medison under ASC 606. We believed that the buyback provision, if exercised, will require us to repurchase the license at an amount equal to or more than the upfront $ 5.0 million. As such, this arrangement was accounted for as a financing arrangement. Interest expense was accreted on such liability over the expected buyback period. We also billed Medison for the delivery of drug supplies for clinical use which we previously deferred and included within the outstanding financing liability considering the buy-back provision.
The decision to exercise the buyback option is dependent on many factors including management’s cost and benefit assessments and the success of obtaining regulatory approval for the treatment of AIHA in Canada. In June 2022, we reported the top-line results from our Phase 3 trial of fostamatinib in warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) which showed that the trial did not demonstrate statistical significance in the primary efficacy endpoint in the overall study population. We also announced in early October 2022 that we will not file a supplemental new drug application (sNDA) for wAIHA indication considering the top-line data results and the guidance received from the FDA. With these developments, we assessed our options path forward, including our buyback option right with regards to the Medison license agreement. Based on management’s assessment, the likelihood of exercising the buy-back option right was remote. As such, during the fourth quarter of 2022, we relieved the outstanding financing liability to Medison amounting to $ 5.7 million and recognized such amount as collaboration revenue in accordance with ASC 606. There was no outstanding financing liability to Medison as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $ 0.2 million of revenue related to the delivery of drug supplies to Medison and a milestone pursuant to the commercial and license agreement. No such revenue was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Knight Commercial License and Supply Agreement
We have commercial license and supply agreements with Knight entered in May 2022 for the commercialization of fostamatinib for approved indications in Knight territory. Pursuant to such commercial license agreement, we received a $ 2.0 million one-time, non-refundable, and non-creditable upfront payment, with potential for up to an additional $ 20.0 million in regulatory and sales-based commercial milestone payments, and will receive twenty- to mid-thirty percent, tiered, escalated net-sales based royalty payments for products sold in the Knight territory. We accounted for this agreement under ASC 606 and identified that the upfront payment was a consideration for granting Knight the license to commercialize fostamatinib for approved indication in the Knight territory, and no further material deliverables associated to such upfront payment. As such, we recognized the upfront payment as revenue during the second quarter of 2022. Variable consideration related to future regulatory milestones was fully constrained because we cannot conclude that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur, given the inherent uncertainty of success with these future milestones. For sales-based milestones and royalties, we determined that the license is the predominant item to which the royalties or sales-based milestones relate to. Accordingly, we will recognize revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). We will re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur. We are also responsible for the exclusive manufacture and supply of fostamatinib for all future development and commercialization activities under the agreement.

Government Contract - US Department of Defense’s JPEO-CBRND
In January 2021, we were awarded up to $ 16.5 million by the US Department of Defense to support our ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fostamatinib for the treatment of hospitalized high-risk patients with COVID-19. The amount of award we will receive from the US Department of Defense is subject to submission of proper documentation as evidence of completion of certain clinical trial events or milestones as specified in the agreement, and approval by the US Department of Defense that such events or milestones have been met. We record government contract revenue in the statement of operations in the period when it is probable that we will receive the award, which is when we comply with the conditions associated with the award and obtain approval from the US Department of Defense that such conditions have been met. We recognized no revenue and $ 1.0 million of revenue for three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $ 2.5 million of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, related to this grant upon achievement of certain milestones. Through September 30, 2023, we received $ 16.0 million of the award which we recognized as revenue in the respective periods, with remaining $ 0.5 million available, subject to us meeting a certain milestone and approval by the US Department of Defense that such milestone has been met, as specified in the agreement.
License and Transition Services Agreement with Forma (now Novo Nordisk)
We have a license and transition services agreement with Forma (now Novo Nordisk) entered in July 2022, for an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize olutasidenib, a proprietary inhibitor of mutated IDH1 (mIDH1), for any uses worldwide, including for the treatment of AML and other malignancies. Forma became a wholly owned subsidiary of Novo Nordisk following the closing of its acquisition by Novo Nordisk in October 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the license and transition services agreement, we paid an upfront fee of $ 2.0 million, with the potential to pay up to $ 67.5 million of additional payments upon achievement of specified development and regulatory milestones and up to $ 165.5 million of additional payments upon achievement of certain commercial milestones. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the license and transition services agreement, Forma (now Novo Nordisk) would be entitled to tiered royalty payments on net sales of licensed products at percentages ranging from low-teens to mid-thirties, as well as certain portion of our sublicensing revenue, subject to certain standard reductions and offsets.
The transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of asset under ASC 730, Research and Development . In accordance with the guidance, in a transaction accounted for as an asset acquisition, any acquired IPR&D that does not have alternative future use is charged to expense at the acquisition date. At the acquisition date, the acquired license asset was accounted for as IPR&D, and we anticipated no other economic benefit to be derived from such acquired licensed asset other than the primary indications. As such, we accounted for the upfront fee of $ 2.0 million as IPR&D and recorded such cost within research and development expense in the condensed statements of operations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Under the accounting guidance, we account for contingent cash payments when it is probable that a liability is incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We account for m ilestone payment obligations incurred at development stage and prior to a regulatory approval of an indication associated with the acquired licensed asset as research and development expense when the event requiring payment of the milestone occurs. Milestone payment obligations incurred upon and after a regulatory approval of an indication associated with the acquired licensed asset, and at the commercial stage, are recorded as intangible asset when the event requiring payment of the milestones occurs. The amount recorded as intangible asset is amortized over the estimated useful life of the acquired licensed asset. Royalty payments related to the acquired licensed asset is recorded as cost of sales when incurred. Prior to the FDA approval of REZLIDHIA in December 2022, we achieved certain regulatory milestone which entitled Forma (now Novo Nordisk) to receive a $ 2.5 million milestone payment. Because such milestone payment obligation was incurred prior to a regulatory approval of an indication associated with the acquired licensed asset, we recorded such amount as research and development expense in the fourth quarter of 2022. On December 1, 2022, the FDA approved REZLIDHIA capsules for the treatment of adult patients with R/R AML with susceptible IDH1 mutations as detected by an FDA-approved test. Following the FDA approval, we launched REZLIDHIA and made first shipments of the product to our customers in December 2022. With this FDA approval and first commercial sale of the product, Forma (now Novo Nordisk) was entitled to receive a total of $ 15.0 million milestone payments. Since such milestone payment obligations were incurred upon and after regulatory approval of the product, we recorded such amount as intangible asset on our condensed balance sheet in the fourth quarter of 2022. The $ 15.0 million in milestone payment obligation was outstanding as of

December 31, 2022 and included within accounts payable in our condensed balance sheet. Such amount was paid in the first quarter of 2023 .
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized amortization of intangible asset of $ 0.3 million and $ 0.8 million, respectively, and royalty expense of $ 0.4 million and $ 1.0 million, respectively, related to the license and transition services agreement as discussed above. Such costs were included within cost of sales in our condensed statements of operations. No such expenses were recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Stock-based compensation expense within selling, general and administrative in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 include an incremental charge of approximately $ 0.8 million from stock option modifications recorded in the first quarter of 2022 related to the extension of the exercise period of the stock option grants made to our two former Board of Directors whose terms expired in May 2022.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we granted stock options to purchase 3,186,000 shares of common stock with weighted-average grant-date fair value of $ 1.34 per share, and 24,837 stock options were exercised. As of September 30, 2023, there were 34,283,826 stock options outstanding, of which, 2,870,000 are outstanding performance-based stock options wherein the achievement of the corresponding corporate-based milestones were not considered probable as of September 30, 2023. Accordingly, none of the $ 5.3 million grant date fair value for these awards has been recognized as stock-based compensation expense as of September 30, 2023.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Our Purchase Plan provides for a 24 -month offering period comprises four six-month purchase periods with a look-back option. A look-back option is a provision in our Purchase Plan under which eligible employees can purchase shares of our common stock at a price per share equal to the lesser of 85 % of the fair market value on the first day of the offering period or 85 % of the fair market value on the purchase date. Our Purchase Plan also includes a feature that provides for a new offering period to begin when the fair market value of our common stock on any purchase date during an offering period falls below the fair market value of our common stock on the first day of such offering period. This feature is called a “reset.” Participants are automatically enrolled in the new offering period.
Our previous 24 -month offering period under our Purchase Plan ended on June 30, 2022, and a new 24-month offering period started on July 1, 2022.

9. Debt
We have a Credit and Security Agreement (Credit Agreement) with MidCap Financial Trust (MidCap) entered on September 27, 2019 (Closing Date) and amended on March 29, 2021 (First Amendment), February 11, 2022 (Second Amendment) and July 27, 2022 (Third Amendment). The Credit Agreement provides for a $ 60.0 million term loan credit facility. At the Closing Date, $ 10.0 million was funded (Tranche 1), in May 2020, an additional $ 10.0 million was funded (Tranche 2), at the Second Amendment, an additional $ 10.0 million was funded (Tranche 3), at the Third Amendment, an additional $ 10.0 million was funded (Tranche 4), and in March 2023, an additional $ 20.0 million was funded (Tranche 5). As of September 30, 2023, the outstanding principal balance of the loan was $ 60.0 million, and no remaining funds are available for draw under the term loan credit facility.
The First Amendment to the Credit Agreement extended the period through which Tranche 3 was available to us. The Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, among other things, amended the applicable funding conditions, applicable commitments and certain other terms relating to available credit facilities (Tranches 3 and 4), added additional term loan credit facility (Tranche 5), and revised certain terms related to the financial covenants.
Following the Third Amendment, the maturity date for the term loans is on September 1, 2026, and the interest-only period is through October 1, 2024. The interest rate applicable to the term loans under the amended Credit Agreement is the sum of one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) , plus an adjustment of 0.11448% , subject to 1.50 % applicable floor, plus applicable margin of 5.65 % . A final payment fee of 2.5 % of principal is due at maturity date of the term loans. Prior to the Third Amendment, the outstanding principal balance of the loan bore interest at an annual rate of one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), or a comparable applicable index rate, plus applicable margin of 5.65 % , subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.50 % and is payable monthly in arrears.
We may make voluntary prepayments, in whole or in part, subject to certain prepayment premiums and additional interest payments. The Credit Agreement also contains certain provisions, such as event of default and change in control provisions, which, if triggered, would require us to make mandatory prepayments on the term loan, which are subject to certain prepayment premiums and additional interest payments. The obligations under the amended Credit Agreement are secured by a perfected security interest in all of our assets including our intellectual property.
Debt issuance costs are recorded as a direct deduction from the outstanding principal balance of the term loan. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the unamortized issuance costs and debt discounts amounted to $ 0.3 million and $ 0.6 million, respectively.
