Item 5. Other Information
On August 6, 2021, we entered into a termination agreement with Genentech and its affiliate, F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd., terminating by mutual agreement the collaborative research and license agreement dated December 22, 2011, as amended. Pursuant to the terms of the termination agreement, Genentech has returned, licensed or assigned to us certain intellectual property, including certain patent rights and materials related to Nav1.7 and products incorporating such compounds for all uses. Notwithstanding such termination, we remain subject to a low single-digit percentage, tiered royalty on the net sales of our Nav1.6 compounds, including XEN901, now known as NBI-921352, for a period of ten years from first commercial sale on a country-by-country basis, but the development and commercialization restrictions in epilepsy for compounds below a certain potency on Nav1.7 and in pain regardless of Nav1.7 potency have been lifted. In accordance with the license and collaboration agreement with Neurocrine Biosciences, we remain solely responsible for all payments to Genentech with respect to certain Nav1.6 compounds, including NBI-921352, licensed to Neurocrine Biosciences. In addition, we and Genentech agreed to waive our entitlement to receive future potential milestone payments of up to $1.5 million under a separate agreement with Genentech for pain genetics dated March 19, 2014, which expired in March 2018, following the receipt of Genentech’s confirmation that Genentech has stopped all activities under that program. Other than as described above, we have no further financial obligations to make potential payments to Genentech with respect to the termination agreement and no financial entitlement to receive future potential payments from Genentech with respect to either agreement.
