NOTE 5 – SETTLEMENT LIABILITY

 

On November 12, 2021, we entered into a settlement agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with our prior licensor, REGENXBIO Inc. (“REGENXBIO”) to resolve all existing disputes between the parties. In accordance with the Settlement Agreement, we agreed to pay REGENXBIO a total of $30.0 million, payable as follows: (1) $20.0 million paid in November 2021 after execution of the Settlement Agreement, (2) $5.0 million on the first anniversary of the effective date of the Settlement Agreement, and (3) $5.0 million upon the earlier of: (i) the third anniversary of the effective date of the Settlement Agreement or (ii) the closing of a Strategic Transaction, as defined in the Settlement Agreement.

 

As of March 31, 2022, we recorded the payables due to REGENXBIO in the condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the present value of the remaining payments due to REGENXBIO under the Settlement Agreement using an interest rate of 9.6%. The current portion of the payable due in November 2022 is $4.7 million and the long-term portion due in November 2024 is $3.9 million as of March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, we have recorded $5.0 million of restricted cash in the balance sheet that serves as collateral for the payment owed to REGENXBIO in November 2022.
