Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Agreement.

On February 29, 2024, Context Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company”) amended its collaboration and licensing agreement with Integral Molecular, Inc. (“Integral”) (the “Integral License Agreement”) for the development of a CLDN6 bispecific monoclonal antibody for cancer therapy (the "Licensed Rights"). In the course of the Company's further due diligence review of its CTIM-76 asset developed under the Integral License Agreement ("CTIM-76"), the Company determined that certain of the Licensed Rights may incorporate intellectual property rights currently held by a third party. Specifically, the Company is aware of issued patents in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions expiring in January 2034 that potentially cover certain of the intellectual property included in CTIM-76. While the Company believes it will have reasonable defenses against any potential claim of infringement, the Company may not be successful in such efforts, and it also may not be able to obtain a license to such patents on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

As a result of this determination, the parties amended the Integral License Agreement to reflect updated financial terms. As part of Amendment 2 to the Integral License Agreement ("Second Amendment"), Integral's right to receive certain future payments will be reduced as follows: aggregate development and regulatory milestone payments will be reduced from $55 million to $15 million, aggregate sales milestone payments will be reduced from $130 million to $12.5 million, and a tiered royalty of 8-12% that commenced at first commercial sale will be reduced to a flat royalty rate of 6% on net sales beginning no sooner than February 1, 2034. The Second Amendment also narrows the license grant from Integral to the Company to only cover CTIM-76, removes any further obligation of the Company to reimburse Integral for any independently obtained research funding Integral applied against CTIM-76 research, and includes mutual releases by the parties.

The reduced development and regulatory milestones now reflect a payment due at each of: first patient’s first screening visit in a Phase 1b/2 or Phase 2 clinical trial for CTIM-76, first patient’s first screening visit in a Phase 3 clinical trial for CTIM-76, United States marketing approval for CTIM-76, European Union marketing approval for CTIM-76, United Kingdom marketing approval for CTIM-76, and Japan marketing approval for CTIM-76. The amended commercial milestones now also reflect a payment due upon the achievement of annual net sales of $500 million and annual net sales of $1 billion.

The foregoing is a brief description of the material terms and conditions of the Second Amendment, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 6, 2024, the Company updated its corporate presentation for use in meetings with investors, analysts and others. A copy of the corporate presentation is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

B.     The Parties wish to amend the Agreement as set forth in this Amendment.

AGREEMENTS:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

    1    



provided at Integral’s cost and expense and Context shall have no obligation to reimburse Integral for the performance of such continuing activities performed at Integral during such period. To the extent Context requests Integral continue performing activities on what may become an Other Licensed Product(s) beyond such period, the Parties shall in good faith negotiate an agreement, whether as a further amendment to the Agreement or as a separate agreement, to set forth the scope of such future activities, the commercially reasonable terms on which Integral shall be compensated for such future activities and an amendment to (or separate agreement setting forth) the Research Plan, consistent with the terms set forth in Section 5.8 hereof and such shall not become a Licensed Product under this Agreement unless and until the Parties agree to include such potential Other Licensed Product in this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.8.”

f.Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, Section 4.1 of the Agreement shall be amended and restated as follows:

“4.1     License to Context. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Integral hereby grants to Context:

(a)    an exclusive (subject to Section 4.3), royalty-bearing, sublicensable (subject to Section 4.2), transferable (subject to Section 13.10), worldwide license under the Integral CLDN6 Antibody IP to Exploit (or have Exploited through subcontractors, Sublicensees, or Affiliates) Licensed Products in the Field and in the Territory;

hereby amended and restated as follows:

“Pursuant to Section 5.3, but subject to the last two sentences of Section 3.1.2, Context shall make payments (the “Context R&D Payments”) to Integral for activities to be undertaken by Integral under the Research Plan.”

“For purposes of clarity, each of the foregoing Development Milestone Payments shall be payable only once and only on the first CTIM-76 Product to reach the applicable Development Milestone, regardless of the number of CTIM-76 Products that achieve the applicable Development Milestone or the number of times that FPFV of a particular clinical phase may have occurred. In the event a CTIM-76 Product is abandoned after one or more of the Development Milestones has been made and another CTIM-76 Product is Developed as a replacement or back-up product for such abandoned CTIM-76 Product, then only those Development Milestones that were not previously made with respect to such abandoned CTIM-76 Product shall be payable with respect to such CTIM-76 Product as the replacement or back-up.

For illustrative purposes, if Development Milestone 1 is skipped but Development Milestone 2 is achieved, then Development Milestone 1 is deemed achieved. If any one of Development Milestones 3 to 6 is achieved, then all Development Milestones 1 to 2 are deemed achieved and will become payable, to the extent not previously paid, at the time any first Development Milestone of 3 to 6 is achieved.”

In the event that the Parties are unable to reach agreement on such further amendment with respect to such Other Licensed Product, neither Party shall be allowed to further Exploit (or have Exploited through subcontractors, Sublicensees, or Affiliates) such Other Licensed Product and such Other Licensed Product shall not be considered a Licensed Product under this Agreement.”

Specific Confidential Material disclosed shall not be deemed to be available to the public or in the prior possession of the receiving Party merely because it is embraced by more general information in the prior possession of the receiving Party.”

r.Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, the last sentence of Section 8.2 of the Agreement shall be amended and restated as follows:

“Subject to the foregoing, except as required by Applicable Law or the rules of any exchange on which any of such Party’s securities are traded or based on the advice of external legal counsel (reasonably acceptable to the other Party) to comply with the Applicable Law or the rules of any exchange on which any of such Party’s securities are traded, neither Party shall issue a press or news release or make any similar public announcement (it being understood that publication in scientific journals, presentation at scientific conferences and meetings and the like are intended to be covered by Section 8.3 and not subject to this Section 8.2) related to the Research Program, or the terms and conditions of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent in all instances shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.”

“At the request of the Party bringing the action, the other Party will provide reasonable assistance and cooperation in connection therewith, including by executing reasonably appropriate documents, cooperating in discovery, providing relevant documents, participating in deposition, offering trial testimony if required, and joining as a party to the action if required.

u.Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, Section 9.4.5 of the Agreement shall be amended and restated as follows:

v.Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, a new Section 9.6 shall be added to the Agreement as follows:

The Party first becoming aware of such alleged Third Party Infringement Claim shall promptly notify the other Party thereof in writing. As between the Parties, Context shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend and control the defense of any such claim, suit or proceeding at its sole cost and expense, using counsel of its own choice. Integral may participate in any such claim, suit or proceeding with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. If Context elects (in a written communication submitted to Integral within a reasonable amount of time after notice of the alleged patent infringement) not to defend or control the defense of, or otherwise fails to initiate and maintain the defense of, any such claim, suit or proceeding, within such time periods so that Integral is not prejudiced by any delays, Integral may conduct and control the defense of any such claim, suit or proceeding at its sole cost and expense. Where a Party controls such an action, the other Party shall assist and cooperate with the controlling Party, as such controlling Party may reasonably request from time to time, in connection with its activities set forth in this Section 9.6, including where necessary, furnishing a power of attorney solely for such purpose or joining in, or being named as a necessary party to, such action, providing access to relevant documents and other evidence and making its employees available at reasonable business hours; provided that the controlling Party shall reimburse such other Party for its reasonable and verifiable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Each Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such claim, suit or proceeding. Each Party agrees to provide the other Party with copies of all material pleadings filed in such action and to allow the other Party reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of the claims.

2.Grant Funding. Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, the Parties acknowledge and agree that any previously outstanding funds or any potential future payments due by Context to Integral in connection with research funding obtained by Integral pursuant to what was previously Section 5.3(c) of the Agreement shall no longer be due and that no such payments shall be payable hereafter.

3.Release and Covenant Not to Sue. Context, on behalf of itself and its representatives, successors and assigns, (i) releases and forever discharges Integral and its predecessors, successors, assigns, officers, managers, members, partners, directors, shareholders, consultants, advisors, employees, agents, attorneys and representatives from any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, damages, debts, agreements, covenants, suits, contracts, obligations, liabilities, accounts, offsets, rights, actions and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, arising from or related to the facts, circumstances, allegations or averments giving rise to Context’s only notice letter to Integral under Section 10.2.3 and/or any responses or further responses by Integral and Context relating thereto up through and including the Amendment Effective Date (the “Context Released Claims”); and (ii) agrees that it will not bring any lawsuit, action or proceeding, or assert in any lawsuit, action or proceeding involving a third party, based on the Context Released Claims. Context further agrees that it will not use any alleged negligence, alleged willful misconduct, or alleged breach of the Agreement by Integral related to the Context Released Claims as a basis to avoid any obligations to Integral under the Agreement, including but not limited to Section 12.1.

4.Release and Covenant Not to Sue. Integral, on behalf of itself and its representatives, successors and assigns, (i) releases and forever discharges Context and its predecessors, successors, assigns, officers, managers, members, partners, directors, shareholders, consultants, advisors, employees, agents, attorneys and representatives from any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, damages, debts, agreements, covenants, suits, contracts, obligations, liabilities, accounts, offsets, rights, actions and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, arising from or related to the facts, circumstances, allegations or averments giving rise to Context’s only notice letter to Integral under Section 10.2.3 and/or any responses or further responses by Integral and Context relating thereto up through and including the Amendment Effective Date (collectively, “Integral Released Claims”), and (ii) agrees that it will not bring any lawsuit, action or proceeding, or assert in any lawsuit, action or proceeding involving a third party, based on the Integral Released Claims. Integral further agrees that it will not use any alleged breach of the Agreement by Context related to the Integral Released Claims as a basis to avoid any obligations to Context under the Agreement, including but not limited to Section 12.2.

         6    



5.Non-disparagement. Context and Integral agree that they shall not knowingly make, and shall instruct their employees and representatives to refrain from making, public statements or statements to third-parties that disparage each other, or their respective principals, officers, directors, employees, investors, partners, managers, members, clients, products or services; provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude either party from (i) testifying or otherwise providing statements as required by lawful subpoena or other legal, judicial, administrative or regulatory process or other laws, or based on the advice of external legal counsel, (ii) making any required or good faith reports or disclosures to governing regulatory bodies or authorities, or (iii) taking any action required in order to exercise any right or remedy contained in this Agreement.

6.Entire Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that this Amendment, together with the Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Defined terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.

7.Full Force and Effect. Except as expressly amended hereby, all of the other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect in accordance with their original terms.

8.Authority. Each Party hereby represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to enter into this Amendment.
