From time to time, we may be subject to other legal proceedings. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. Other than the below, there have been no material developments to the legal proceedings previously disclosed in Part II, Item 1, "Legal Proceedings" in our 2025 Annual Report.
On March 4, 2024, ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ANI) filed a complaint against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware seeking (i) a declaratory judgment that a provision in an assignment and technology transfer agreement between the Company and ANI, dated November 15, 2010 (the ANI Agreement), obligates the Company to pay ANI a royalty on certain “net sales” of cretostimogene, and (ii) compensatory damages alleging the Company was unjustly enriched by obtaining the benefit of certain non-patent assets under the ANI Agreement without paying adequate consideration to ANI. On July 16, 2025, the Superior Court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment with respect to ANI’s request for a declaratory judgment to receive royalty payments from the potential sale of cretostimogene but denied the Company’s motion for summary judgment with respect to ANI’s unjust enrichment claim. On July 29, 2025, a jury entered a verdict in favor of the Company, unanimously rejecting all of ANI's claims for unjust enrichment damages. As a result and subject to the outcome of any post-trial motions or appeals brought by ANI, the Company will not owe ANI a future royalty of 5% on commercial sales of cretostimogene, no damages have been awarded to ANI, and there are no further payments due to ANI under the ANI Agreement. On April 10, 2026, the Superior Court heard oral arguments from ANI and the Company on pending post-trial motions submitted by the Company and ANI, which included (i) ANI’s Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law; (ii) ANI’s Motion to Unseal Trial Exhibits; and (iii) the Company’s Motion for Costs. On July 16, 2026, the Superior Court issued an order denying ANI's motions for a new trial and judgment as a matter of law. The Company will continue to vigorously defend any appeals brought by ANI.
