On January 6, 2022, Samsung provided written notice to the Company alleging that the Company had materially breached the parties’ Master Services and Project Specific Agreements (the “Samsung Agreements”) for failure to pay $13.5 million due on December 31, 2021. An additional $22.8 million became due under the agreements on January 31, 2022.
On November 21, 2023, Samsung informed the Company of Samsung’s intent to terminate the Samsung Agreements, effective January 5, 2024. As of the date of this filing, the parties remain in communication about the outstanding issues under the agreements and potential options moving forward with Samsung. Under the Samsung Agreements, Samsung may be entitled to terminate its services if the parties cannot agree on the past-due balance. The Company currently holds sufficient leronlimab to conduct its prospective clinical trial(s) in the short term. Management continues to be in contact with Samsung regarding potential approaches to resolve these issues. Samsung paused manufacturing for all unfulfilled commitments not needed by the Company starting in January 2022. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any accruals associated with the unfulfilled commitments as of November 30, 2023. In the event negotiations are unsuccessful, the Company may have to accrue a liability related to the unfulfilled commitments.
As of November 30, 2023, the Company had past due balances of approximately $32.0 million due to Samsung, which were included in accounts payable.
