Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On January 7, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), Verastem, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a license agreement (the “Agreement”) with Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Chugai”), whereby Chugai granted an exclusive, worldwide license to the Company for the development, commercialization and manufacture of products containing CH5126766 (CKI27), a dual RAF/MEK inhibitor (the “Chugai Compound”).

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company receives an exclusive right to develop and commercialize products containing the Chugai Compound at its own cost and expense. The Company is required to pay Chugai a non-refundable payment of $3,000,000 by February 21, 2020. The Company is obligated to pay Chugai double-digit royalties on net sales of products containing the Chugai Compound, subject to reduction in certain circumstances.    Chugai also obtained opt back rights to develop and commercialize the Chugai Compound (a) in the European Union, which option may be exercised through the date that the Company submits a New Drug Application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for a product which contains the Chugai Compound as the sole active pharmaceutical ingredient, and (b) in Japan and Taiwan, which option may be exercised through the date the Company receives  marketing authorization from the FDA for a product which contains the Chugai Compound as the sole active pharmaceutical ingredient.  As consideration for executing either option, Chugai would be obligated to make a payment to the Company to be calculated on the Company’s development costs to-date.  The Company and Chugai have made customary representations and warranties and have agreed to certain customary covenants, including confidentiality and indemnification.

 

Unless earlier terminated, the Agreement will expire upon the fulfillment of the Company’s royalty obligations to Chugai for the sale of any products containing the Chugai Compound, which royalty obligations expire, on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis, upon the last to occur, in each specific country, of (a) expiration of valid patent claims covering such product or (b) 12 years from the first commercial sale of such product in such country.

 

The Company may terminate the Agreement upon 180 days’ written notice. Subject to certain limitations, Chugai may terminate the Agreement upon written notice if the Company challenges any patent licensed by Chugai to the Company under the Agreement. Either party may terminate the Agreement in its entirety with 120 days’ written notice for the other party’s material breach if such party fails to cure the breach. Either party may also terminate the Agreement in its entirety upon certain insolvency events involving the other party.

 

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to a subsequent periodic report to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
