NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2013

 

A.                                    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 include the accounts of ImmunoGen, Inc., or the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ImmunoGen Securities Corp. and ImmunoGen Europe Limited. The consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The preparation of interim financial statements requires the use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reported periods. The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. Accordingly, the interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2013 up through the date the Company issued these financial statements.  In January 2014, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with CytomX Therapeutics, Inc. (CytomX).  Under the terms of the agreement, the companies will collaborate to each develop Probody™-drug conjugate (PDC) therapies against a defined number of targets using CytomX Probody™ technology and ImmunoGen’s antibody-drug conjugate, or ADC, technology.  Each company retains full development control of PDC compounds resulting from its target selection and is responsible for preclinical and clinical testing, manufacturing, and commercialization of its own compounds. Under the terms of the agreement, there were no upfront payments made by the Company or CytomX.  Each company is entitled to potentially receive from the other company clinical and post-approval milestone payments as well as royalties on the sales of any marketed products developed by the other company resulting from this collaboration.  The Company did not have any other material recognizable or unrecognizable subsequent events during this period.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company enters into licensing and development agreements with collaborative partners for the development of monoclonal antibody-based anticancer therapeutics. The terms of these agreements contain multiple deliverables which may include (i) licenses, or options to obtain licenses, to the Company’s ADC technology, (ii) rights to future technological improvements, (iii) research activities to be performed on behalf of the collaborative partner, (iv) delivery of cytotoxic agents and (v) the manufacture of preclinical or clinical materials for the collaborative partner. Payments to the Company under these agreements may include upfront fees, option fees, exercise fees, payments for research activities, payments for the manufacture of preclinical or clinical materials, payments based upon the achievement of certain milestones and royalties on product sales. The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605-25, “Revenue Recognition—Multiple-Element Arrangements,” and ASC Topic 605-28, “Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method,” in accounting for these agreements. In order to account for these agreements, the Company must identify the deliverables included within the agreement and evaluate which deliverables represent separate units of accounting based on whether certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has stand-alone value to the collaborator. The consideration received is allocated among the separate units of accounting, and the applicable revenue recognition criteria are applied to each of the separate units.

 

At December 31, 2013, the Company had the following two types of agreements with the parties identified below:

 

·                 Development and commercialization licenses to use the Company’s ADC technology and/or certain other intellectual property to develop compounds to a specified target antigen (referred to as development and commercialization licenses, as distinguished from the Company’s right-to-test agreements described elsewhere):

 

Amgen (four exclusive single-target licenses)

 

Bayer HealthCare (one exclusive single-target license)

 

6



Table of Contents

 

Biotest (one exclusive single-target license)

 

Lilly (one exclusive single-target license)

 

Novartis (two exclusive single-target licenses and one license to two related targets: one target on an exclusive basis and the second target on a non-exclusive basis)

 

Roche, through its Genentech unit (five exclusive single-target licenses)

 

Sanofi (one exclusive single-target license and one exclusive license to multiple individual targets)

 

·                 Option/research agreement for a defined period of time to secure development and commercialization licenses to use the Company’s ADC technology to develop anticancer compounds to specified targets on established terms (referred to herein as right-to-test agreements):

 

Sanofi

 

Novartis

 

Lilly

 

There are no performance, cancellation, termination or refund provisions in any of the arrangements that contain material financial consequences to the Company.

 

Development and Commercialization Licenses

 

The deliverables under a development and commercialization license agreement generally include the license to the Company’s ADC technology with respect to a specified antigen target, and may also include deliverables related to rights to future technological improvements, research activities to be performed on behalf of the collaborative partner and the manufacture of preclinical or clinical materials for the collaborative partner.

 

Generally, development and commercialization licenses contain non-refundable terms for payments and, depending on the terms of the agreement, provide that the Company will (i) at the collaborator’s request, provide research services at negotiated prices which are generally consistent with what other third parties would charge, (ii) at the collaborator’s request, manufacture and provide to it preclinical and clinical materials or deliver cytotoxic agents at negotiated prices which are generally consistent with what other third parties would charge, (iii) earn payments upon the achievement of certain milestones and (iv) earn royalty payments, generally until the later of the last applicable patent expiration or 10 to 12 years after product launch. In the case of Kadcyla®, however, the minimum royalty term is 10 years and the maximum royalty term is 12 years on a country-by-country basis. Royalty rates may vary over the royalty term depending on the Company’s intellectual property rights. The Company may provide technical assistance and share any technology improvements with its collaborators during the term of the collaboration agreements. The Company does not directly control when or whether any collaborator will request research or manufacturing services, achieve milestones or become liable for royalty payments. As a result, the Company cannot predict when or if it will recognize revenues in connection with any of the foregoing.

 

In determining the units of accounting, management evaluates whether the license has stand-alone value from the undelivered elements to the collaborative partner based on the consideration of the relevant facts and circumstances for each arrangement. Factors considered in this determination include the research capabilities of the partner and the availability of ADC technology research expertise in the general marketplace. If the Company concludes that the license has stand-alone value and therefore will be accounted for as a separate unit of accounting, the Company then determines the estimated selling prices of the license and all other units of accounting based on market conditions, similar arrangements entered into by third parties, and entity-specific factors such as the terms of the Company’s previous collaborative agreements, recent preclinical and clinical testing results of therapeutic products that use the Company’s ADC technology, the Company’s pricing practices and pricing objectives, the likelihood that technological improvements will be made, the likelihood that technological improvements made will be used by the Company’s collaborators and the nature of the research services to be performed on behalf of its collaborators and market rates for similar services.

 

Upfront payments on development and commercialization licenses are deferred if facts and circumstances dictate that the license does not have stand-alone value. Prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-13, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” on July 1, 2010, the Company determined that its licenses lacked stand-alone value and

Table of Contents

 

were combined with other elements of the arrangement and any amounts associated with the license were deferred and amortized over a certain period, which the Company refers to as the Company’s period of substantial involvement. The determination of the length of the period over which to defer revenue is subject to judgment and estimation and can have an impact on the amount of revenue recognized in a given period. Historically the Company’s involvement with the development of a collaborator’s product candidate has been significant at the early stages of development, and lessens as it progresses into clinical trials. Also, as a drug candidate gets closer to commencing pivotal testing the Company’s collaborators have sought an alternative site to manufacture their products, as the Company’s facility does not produce pivotal or commercial drug product. Accordingly, the Company generally estimates this period of substantial involvement to begin at the inception of the collaboration agreement and conclude at the end of non-pivotal Phase II testing. The Company believes this period of substantial involvement is, depending on the nature of the license, on average six and one-half years. Quarterly, the Company reassesses its periods of substantial involvement over which the Company amortizes its upfront license fees and makes adjustments as appropriate. In the event a collaborator elects to discontinue development of a specific product candidate under a development and commercialization license, but retains its right to use the Company’s technology to develop an alternative product candidate to the same target or a target substitute, the Company would cease amortization of any remaining portion of the upfront fee until there is substantial preclinical activity on another product candidate and its remaining period of substantial involvement can be estimated. In the event that a development and commercialization license were to be terminated, the Company would recognize as revenue any portion of the upfront fee that had not previously been recorded as revenue, but was classified as deferred revenue, at the date of such termination.

 

Subsequent to the adoption of ASU No. 2009-13, the Company determined that its research licenses lack stand-alone value and are considered for aggregation with the other elements of the arrangement and accounted for as one unit of accounting.

 

Upfront payments on development and commercialization licenses may be recognized upon delivery of the license if facts and circumstances dictate that the license has stand-alone value from the undelivered elements, which generally include rights to future technological improvements, research services, delivery of cytotoxic agents and the manufacture of preclinical and clinical materials.

 

The Company recognizes revenue related to research services that represent separate units of accounting as they are performed, as long as there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is probable. The Company recognizes revenue related to the rights to future technological improvements over the estimated term of the applicable license.

 

The Company may also provide cytotoxic agents to its collaborators or produce preclinical and clinical materials at negotiated prices which are generally consistent with what other third parties would charge. The Company recognizes revenue on cytotoxic agents and on preclinical and clinical materials when the materials have passed all quality testing required for collaborator acceptance and title and risk of loss have transferred to the collaborator. Arrangement consideration allocated to the manufacture of preclinical and clinical materials in a multiple-deliverable arrangement is below the Company’s full cost, and the Company’s full cost is not expected to be below its contract selling prices for its existing collaborations for the foreseeable future. During the six months ended December 31, 2012, the difference between the Company’s full cost to manufacture preclinical and clinical materials on behalf of its collaborators as compared to total amounts received from collaborators for the manufacture of preclinical and clinical materials was $755,000. There were no sales of manufactured preclinical or clinical materials during the six months ended December 31, 2013. The majority of the Company’s costs to produce these preclinical and clinical materials are fixed and then allocated to each batch based on the number of batches produced during the period. Therefore, the Company’s costs to produce these materials are significantly impacted by the number of batches produced during the period. The volume of preclinical and clinical materials the Company produces is directly related to the number of clinical trials for which the Company and its collaborators are preparing or currently have underway, the speed of enrollment in those trials, the dosage schedule of each clinical trial and the time period such trials last. Accordingly, the volume of preclinical and clinical materials produced, and therefore the Company’s per batch costs to manufacture these preclinical and clinical materials, may vary significantly from period to period.

 

The Company may also produce research material for potential collaborators under material transfer agreements. Additionally, the Company performs research activities, including developing antibody specific conjugation processes, on behalf of its collaborators and potential collaborators during the early evaluation and preclinical testing stages of drug development. The Company records amounts received for research materials produced or services performed as a component of research and development support revenue. The Company also develops conjugation processes for materials for later stage testing and commercialization for certain collaborators. The Company is compensated at negotiated rates and may receive milestone payments for developing these processes which are recorded as a component of research and development support revenue.

 

The Company’s development and commercialization license agreements have milestone payments which for reporting purposes are aggregated into three categories: (i) development milestones, (ii) regulatory milestones, and (iii) sales milestones. Development milestones are typically payable when a product candidate first moves into clinical testing or advances into different

Table of Contents

 

clinical trial phases. Regulatory milestones are typically payable upon submission for marketing approval with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, or other countries’ regulatory authorities or on receipt of actual marketing approvals for the compound or for additional indications. Sales milestones are typically payable when annual sales reach certain levels.

 

At the inception of each agreement that includes milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether each milestone is substantive and at risk to both parties on the basis of the contingent nature of the milestone. This evaluation includes an assessment of whether (a) the consideration is commensurate with either (1) the entity’s performance to achieve the milestone, or (2) the enhancement of the value of the delivered item(s) as a result of a specific outcome resulting from the entity’s performance to achieve the milestone, (b) the consideration relates solely to past performance and (c) the consideration is reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and payment terms within the arrangement. The Company evaluates factors such as the scientific, regulatory, commercial and other risks that must be overcome to achieve the respective milestone, the level of effort and investment required to achieve the respective milestone and whether the milestone consideration is reasonable relative to all deliverables and payment terms in the arrangement in making this assessment.

 

Non-refundable development and regulatory milestones that are expected to be achieved as a result of the Company’s efforts during the period of substantial involvement are considered substantive and are recognized as revenue upon the achievement of the milestone, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Milestones that are not considered substantive because we do not contribute effort to the achievement of such milestones are generally achieved after the period of substantial involvement and are recognized as revenue upon achievement of the milestone, as there are no undelivered elements remaining and no continuing performance obligations, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

 

Under the Company’s development and commercialization license agreements, the Company receives royalty payments based upon its licensees’ net sales of covered products. Generally, under these agreements the Company is to receive royalty reports and payments from its licensees approximately one quarter in arrears, that is, generally in the second month of the quarter after the licensee has sold the royalty-bearing product or products. The Company recognizes royalty revenues when it can reliably estimate such amounts and collectability is reasonably assured. As such, the Company generally recognizes royalty revenues in the quarter reported to the Company by its licensees, or one quarter following the quarter in which sales by the Company’s licensees occurred.

The Company’s right-to-test agreements provide collaborators the right to (a) test the Company’s ADC technology for a defined period of time through a research, or right-to-test, license, (b) take options, for a defined period of time, to specified targets and (c) upon exercise of those options, secure or “take” licenses to develop and commercialize products for the specified targets on established terms. Under these agreements, fees may be due to the Company (i) at the inception of the arrangement (referred to as “upfront” fees or payments), (ii) upon taking an option with respect to a specific target (referred to as option fees or payments earned, if any, when the option is “taken”), (iii) upon the exercise of a previously taken option to acquire a development and commercialization license(s) (referred to as exercise fees or payments earned, if any, when the development and commercialization license is “taken”), or (iv) some combination of all of these fees.

 

The accounting for right-to-test agreements is dependent on the nature of the options granted to the collaborative partner. Options are considered substantive if, at the inception of a right-to-test agreement, the Company is at risk as to whether the collaborative partner will choose to exercise the options to secure development and commercialization licenses. Factors that are considered in evaluating whether options are substantive include the overall objective of the arrangement, the benefit the collaborator might obtain from the agreement without exercising the options, the cost to exercise the options relative to the total upfront consideration, and the additional financial commitments or economic penalties imposed on the collaborator as a result of exercising the options.

 

For right-to-test agreements where the options to secure development and commercialization licenses to the Company’s ADC technology are considered substantive, the Company does not consider the development and commercialization licenses to be a deliverable at the inception of the agreement. For those right-to-test agreements entered into prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 where the options to secure development and commercialization licenses are considered substantive, the Company has deferred the upfront payments received and recognizes this revenue over the period during which the collaborator could elect to take options for development and commercialization licenses. These periods are specific to each collaboration agreement. If a collaborator takes an option to acquire a development and commercialization license under these agreements, any substantive option fee is deferred and recognized over the life of the option, generally 12 to 18 months. If a collaborator exercises an option and takes a development and commercialization license to a specific target, the Company attributes the exercise fee to the development and commercialization license. Upon exercise of an option to acquire a development and commercialization license, the Company would also attribute any remaining deferred option fee to the development and commercialization license and apply the multiple-element revenue recognition criteria to the development and commercialization license and any other deliverables to determine the appropriate revenue recognition,

which will be consistent with the Company’s accounting policy for upfront payments on single-target licenses. In the event a right-to-test agreement were to be terminated, the Company would recognize as revenue any portion of the upfront fee that had not previously been recorded as revenue, but was classified as deferred revenue, at the date of such termination. None of the Company’s right-to-test agreements entered into subsequent to the adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 has been determined to contain substantive options.

 

For right-to-test agreements where the options to secure development and commercialization licenses to the Company’s ADC technology are not considered substantive, the Company considers the development and commercialization licenses to be a deliverable at the inception of the agreement and applies the multiple-element revenue recognition criteria to determine the appropriate revenue recognition. None of the Company’s right-to-test agreements entered into prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 has been determined to contain non-substantive options.

 

The Company does not directly control when or if any collaborator will exercise its options for development and commercialization licenses. As a result, the Company cannot predict when or if it will recognize revenues in connection with any of the foregoing.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  The standard describes a fair value hierarchy to measure fair value which is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, as follows:

 

·                          Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·                          Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

·                          Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

As of December 31, 2013, the Company held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  The following table represents the fair value hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Unbilled Revenue

 

The majority of the Company’s unbilled revenue at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 represents research funding earned prior to those dates based on actual resources utilized under the Company’s agreements with various collaborators.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory costs relate to clinical trial materials being manufactured for sale to the Company’s collaborators. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market as determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

 

Inventory at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 is summarized below (in thousands):

Raw materials inventory consists entirely of DM1 and DM4, proprietary cell-killing agents the Company developed as part of its ADC technology. The Company considers more than a twelve month supply of raw materials that is not supported by firm, fixed orders and/or projections from its collaborators to be excess and establishes a reserve to reduce to zero the value of any such excess raw material inventory with a corresponding charge to research and development expense. In accordance with this policy, the Company recorded $205,000 and $798,000 of expense related to excess inventory during the six-month periods ended December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company recorded $70,000 and $408,000 of expense related to excess inventory during the three-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

Work in process inventory consists of conjugate manufactured for sale to the Company’s collaborators to be used in preclinical and clinical studies.  All conjugate is made to order at the request of the collaborators and subject to the terms and conditions of respective supply agreements.  As such, no reserve for work in process inventory is required.

 

Computation of Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. During periods of income, participating securities are allocated a proportional share of income determined by dividing total weighted average participating securities by the sum of the total weighted average common shares and participating securities (the “two-class method”). The Company’s restricted stock participates in any dividends declared by the Company and are therefore considered to be participating securities. Participating securities have the effect of diluting both basic and diluted earnings per share during periods of income. During periods of loss, no loss is allocated to participating securities since they have no contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company. The impact of applying the two-class method was not material.  Diluted income (loss) per share is computed after giving consideration to the dilutive effect of stock options that are outstanding during the period, except where such non-participating securities would be anti-dilutive.

 

The Company’s common stock equivalents, as calculated in accordance with the treasury-stock method, are shown in the following table (in thousands):

Potentially dilutive securities representing 3.2 million shares of common stock for the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The Company’s common stock equivalents have not been included in any net loss per share calculation because their effect is anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss position.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

As of December 31, 2013, the Company is authorized to grant future awards under one employee share-based compensation plan, which is the ImmunoGen, Inc. 2006 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2006 Plan. At the annual meeting of shareholders on November 13, 2012, an amendment to the 2006 Plan was approved and an additional 3,500,000 shares were authorized for issuance under this plan.  As amended, the 2006 Plan provides for the issuance of Stock Grants, the grant of Options and the grant of Stock-Based Awards for up to 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, as well as any shares of common stock that are represented by awards granted under the previous stock option plan, the ImmunoGen, Inc. Restated Stock Option Plan, or the Former Plan, that are forfeited, expire or are cancelled without delivery of shares of common stock; provided, however, that no more than 5,900,000 shares shall be added to the 2006 Plan from the Former Plan, pursuant to this provision. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. Options vest at various periods of up to four years and may be exercised within ten years of the date of grant.

 

The stock-based awards are accounted for under ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation.” Pursuant to Topic 718, the estimated grant date fair value of awards is charged to the statement of operations and comprehensive loss over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. Such amounts have been reduced by an estimate of forfeitures of all unvested awards. The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions noted in the following table. As the Company has not paid dividends since inception, nor does it expect to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future, the expected dividend yield assumption is zero. Expected volatility is based exclusively on historical volatility data of the Company’s stock. The expected term of stock options granted is based exclusively on historical data and represents the period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected term is calculated for and applied to one group of stock options as the Company does not expect substantially different exercise or post-vesting termination behavior among its option recipients. The risk-free rate of the stock options is based on the U.S. Treasury rate in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the stock options.

Using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the weighted average grant date fair values of options granted during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $8.76 and $6.81 per share, respectively, and $10.64 and $8.60 per share for options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

Stock compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock awards granted under the 2006 Plan was $3.7 million and $8.4 million during the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, respectively, compared to stock compensation expense of $2.9 million and $6.7 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, the estimated fair value of unvested employee awards was $27.2 million, net of estimated forfeitures. The weighted-average remaining vesting period for these awards is approximately two and a quarter years.

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2013, holders of options issued under the Company’s equity plans exercised their rights to acquire an aggregate of approximately 861,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $3.19 to $15.83 per share.  The total proceeds to the Company from these option exercises were approximately $7.1 million.

 

Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company’s cash equivalents consist of money market funds with underlying investments primarily being U.S. Government-issued securities and high quality, short-term commercial paper. All of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained with three financial institutions in the U.S.  The Company uses a Euro-denominated bank account to manage the foreign currency exposures that exist as part of our ongoing business operations. Our foreign currency risk management strategy is principally designed to mitigate the future potential financial impact of changes in the value of transactions, anticipated transactions and balances denominated in foreign currency, resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance to address the diversity in practice related to the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits as either a reduction of a deferred tax asset or a liability when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

B.                                    Collaborative Agreements

 

Roche

 

In May 2000, the Company granted Genentech, now a unit of Roche, an exclusive license to use the Company’s maytansinoid ADC technology with antibodies, such as trastuzumab, or other proteins that target HER2. Under the terms of this agreement, Roche has exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize maytansinoid ADC compounds targeting HER2. In February 2013, the U.S. FDA granted marketing approval to the HER2-targeting ADC compound, Kadcyla. Roche received marketing approval for Kadcyla in Japan and in the European Union (EU) in September 2013 and November 2013, respectively. Roche is responsible for the manufacturing, product development and marketing of Kadcyla and any other products resulting from the agreement. The Company received a $2 million non-refundable upfront payment from Roche upon execution of the agreement. The Company is also entitled to receive up to a total of $44 million in milestone payments, plus royalties on the commercial sales of Kadcyla or any other resulting products. Total milestones are categorized as follows: development milestones—$13.5 million; and regulatory milestones—$30.5 million. The Company received two $5 million regulatory milestone payments in connection with marketing approval of Kadcyla in Japan and in the EU. Based on an evaluation of the effort contributed to the achievement of these milestones, the Company determined these milestones were not substantive. In consideration that there were no undelivered elements remaining, no continuing performance obligations and all other revenue recognition criteria had been met, the Company recognized the $10 million non-refundable payments as revenue upon achievement of the milestones, which is included in license and milestone fees for the six months ended December 31, 2013, $5 million of which is included in license and milestone fees for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Through December 31, 2013, the Company has received and recognized $13.5 million and $20.5 million in development and regulatory milestone payments, respectively, related to Kadcyla. The next potential milestone the Company will be entitled to receive will be a $5 million regulatory milestone for marketing approval of Kadcyla for a first extended indication as defined in the agreement. Based on an evaluation of the effort contributed to the achievement of this milestone, the Company has determined this milestone is not substantive.

 

The Company receives royalty reports and payments related to sales of Kadcyla from Roche one quarter in arrears. In accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy, $2.3 million of royalties on net sales of Kadcyla for the three-month

period ended September 30, 2013 were recorded and included in royalty revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and $4.4 million of royalties on net sales of Kadcyla for the six-month period ended September 30, 2013 is included in royalty revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2013.  No such royalties were recorded in the prior year period.

 

Amgen

 

Under a now-expired right-to-test agreement entered into with Abgenix (now Amgen) in December 2000, in September 2009, November 2009 and December 2012, Amgen took three exclusive development and commercialization licenses, for which the Company received an exercise fee of $1 million for each license taken.  Under the same now-expired right-to-test agreement, in May 2013, Amgen took one non-exclusive development and commercialization license, for which the Company received an exercise fee of $500,000. In October 2013, the non-exclusive license was amended and converted to an exclusive license, for which Amgen paid an additional $500,000 fee to the Company. For each of these development and commercialization licenses, the Company is entitled to receive up to a total of $34 million in milestone payments, plus royalties on the commercial sales of any resulting products. The total milestones per development and commercialization license are categorized as follows: development milestones—$9 million; regulatory milestones—$20 million; and sales milestones—$5 million. Amgen is responsible for the manufacturing, product development and marketing of any products resulting from the agreement. Amgen no longer has the right to take additional development and commercialization licenses under the agreement.

 

Since a deliverable to the original right-to-test agreement was determined to be materially modified at the time the non-exclusive license was converted to exclusive in October 2013, the Company accounted for the multiple-element agreement in accordance with ACS 605-25 (as amended by ASU No. 2009-13).  As a result, all of the deferred revenue recorded on the date of the modification and the new consideration received as part of the modification was allocated to all of the remaining deliverables at the time of amendment of the right-to-test agreement based on the estimated selling price of each element.  The remaining amount represents consideration for previously delivered elements and was recognized upon the execution of the modification.

 

The outstanding licenses, including the exclusive license delivered upon the signing of the amendment, contain the rights to future technological improvements as well as options to purchase materials and research and development services. The Company concluded that additional materials and research and development services would be paid at a contractual price equal to the estimated selling price based estimated prices that would be charged by third parties for similar services.  The estimated selling price of the right to technological improvements is the Company’s best estimate of selling price and was determined by estimating the probability that technological improvements will be made and the probability that such technological improvements made will be used by Amgen. In estimating these probabilities, we considered factors such as the technology that is the subject of the development and commercialization licenses, our history of making technological improvements, and when such improvements, if any, were likely to occur relative to the stage of development of any product candidates pursuant to the development and commercialization licenses. The Company’s estimate of probability considered the likely period of time that any improvements would be utilized, which was estimated to be ten years following delivery of a commercialization and development license. The value of any technological improvements made available after this ten year period was considered to be de minimis due to the significant additional costs that would be incurred to incorporate such technology into any existing product candidates. The estimate of probability was multiplied by the estimated selling price of the development and commercialization licenses and the resulting cash flow was discounted at a rate of 13%, representing the Company’s estimate of its cost of capital at the time of amendment of the right-to-test agreement.

 

The $430,000 determined to be the estimated selling price of the future technological improvements is being recognized as revenue ratably over the period the Company is obligated to make available any technological improvements, which is equivalent to the estimated term of the agreement. The Company estimates the term of a development and commercialization license to be approximately 25 years, which reflects management’s estimate of the time necessary to develop and commercialize products pursuant to the license plus the estimated royalty term. The Company reassesses the estimated term at the end of each reporting period.

 

After accounting for the undelivered elements at the estimated selling price, the Company had $2.2 million of remaining allocable consideration which was determined to represent consideration for the previously delivered elements, including the exclusive license that was delivered upon the execution of the modification.  This amount was recorded as revenue and is included in license and milestone fees for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013.

 

The next potential milestone the Company will be entitled to receive under the December 2009 and November 2009 development and commercialization licenses will be a development milestone for the first dosing of a patient in a Phase II clinical trial, which will result in a $3 million payment being due. The next potential milestones the Company will be entitled to receive under the December 2012 and May 2013 development and commercialization licenses will be a development milestone for IND approval which will result in a $1 million payment being due to the Company.  At the time of execution of each of these development and commercialization licenses, there was significant uncertainty as to whether these milestones would be achieved. In consideration of

this, as well as the Company’s past involvement in the research and manufacturing of these product candidates, these milestones were deemed substantive.

 

Sanofi

 

In December 2006, the Company entered into a right-to-test agreement with Sanofi. The agreement provides Sanofi with the right to (a) test the Company’s maytansinoid ADC technology with Sanofi’s antibodies to targets under a right-to-test, or research, license, (b) take exclusive options, with certain restrictions, to specified targets for specified option periods and (c) upon exercise of those options, take exclusive licenses to use the Company’s maytansinoid ADC technology to develop and commercialize products directed to the specified targets on terms agreed upon at the inception of the right-to-test agreement. For each development and commercialization license taken, the Company is entitled to receive an exercise fee of $2 million and up to a total of $30 million in milestone payments, plus royalties on the commercial sales of any resulting products. The total milestones are categorized as follows: development milestones—$10 million; and regulatory milestones—$20 million. In December 2013, Sanofi took its first exclusive development and commercialization license under the right-to-test agreement, for which the Company received an exercise fee of $2 million. The Company has deferred the exercise fee and is recognizing the $2 million as revenue ratably over the Company’s estimated period of its substantial involvement.  The next payment the Company could receive would either be a $2 million development milestone payment with the initiation of a Phase I clinical trial under the first development and commercialization license taken, or a $2 million exercise fee for the execution of a second license. At the time of execution of this agreement, there was significant uncertainty as to whether the milestone related to initiation of a Phase I clinical trial under the first development and commercialization license would be achieved. In consideration of this, as well as the Company’s expected involvement in the research and manufacturing of these product candidates, this milestone was deemed substantive. Sanofi is responsible for the manufacturing, product development and marketing of any products resulting from the agreement.

 

In addition to the $2 million exercise fee received for the development and commercialization license taken, the Company received upfront payments of $4 million under the right-to-test agreement, of which $500,000 was received in December 2006 upon execution of the agreement and $3.5 million was received in August 2008 upon Sanofi’s activation of its rights under the agreement. The right-to-test agreement had a three-year original term from the activation date and was renewed by Sanofi in August 2011 for its final three-year term by payment of a $2 million fee. The Company has deferred the $2 million extension fee and is recognizing this amount as revenue over the period during which Sanofi can take additional options for development and commercialization licenses.

 

Novartis

 

In October 2010, the Company entered into a three-year right-to-test agreement with Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research, Inc. (Novartis). The agreement provides Novartis with the right to (a) test the Company’s ADC technology with individual antibodies selected by Novartis under a right-to-test, or research, license, (b) take exclusive options, with certain restrictions, to individual targets selected by Novartis for specified option periods and (c) upon exercise of those options, take exclusive licenses to use the Company’s ADC technology to develop and commercialize products for a specified number of individual targets on terms agreed upon at the inception of the right-to-test agreement. The initial three-year term of the right-to-test agreement was extended by Novartis in October 2013 for an additional one-year period by payment of a $5 million fee to the Company. In addition to the one-year extension taken in October 2013, the terms of the right-to-test agreement allow Novartis to extend the research term for one additional one-year period by payment of additional consideration. The terms of the right-to-test agreement require Novartis to exercise its options for the development and commercialization licenses by the end of the term of the research license. The Company received a $45 million upfront payment in connection with the execution of the right-to-test agreement, and for each development and commercialization license for a specific target, the Company is entitled to receive an exercise fee of $1 million and up to a total of $199.5 million in milestone payments, plus royalties on the commercial sales of any resulting products. The total milestones are categorized as follows: development milestones—$22.5 million; regulatory milestones—$77 million; and sales milestones—$100 million. The Company also is entitled to receive payments for research and development activities performed on behalf of Novartis. Novartis is responsible for the manufacturing, product development and marketing of any products resulting from this agreement.

 

In March 2013, the Company and Novartis amended the right-to-test agreement so that Novartis can take a license to develop and commercialize products directed at two pre-defined and related undisclosed targets, one target licensed on an exclusive basis and the other target initially licensed on a non-exclusive basis. The target licensed on a non-exclusive basis may be converted to an exclusive target by notice and payment to the Company of an agreed-upon fee of at least $5 million, depending on specific circumstances. The Company received a $3.5 million fee in connection with the execution of the amendment to the agreement. The Company may be required to credit this fee against future milestone payments if Novartis discontinues the development of a specified product under certain circumstances.

 

In connection with the amendment, in March 2013, Novartis took the license referenced above under the right-to-test agreement, as amended, enabling it to develop and commercialize products directed at the two targets. The Company received a

Additionally, the execution of this license provides the Company the opportunity to receive milestone payments totaling $199.5 million (development milestones—$22.5 million; regulatory milestones—$77 million; and sales milestones—$100 million) or $238 million (development milestones—$22.5 million; regulatory milestones—$115.5 million; and sales milestones—$100 million), depending on the composition of any resulting products.

 

In October 2013 and November 2013, Novartis took its second and third exclusive licenses to single targets, each triggering a $1 million payment to the Company and the opportunity to receive milestone payments totaling $199.5 million for each license taken, as outlined above, plus royalties on the commercial sales of any resulting products. The next payment the Company could receive would either be a $5 million development milestone for commencement of a Phase I clinical trial under any of these three licenses, or a $1 million exercise fee for the execution of a fourth license. At the time of execution of these agreements, there was significant uncertainty as to whether these milestones would be achieved. In consideration of this, as well as the Company’s past involvement in the research and manufacturing of these product candidates, these milestones were deemed substantive. Additionally, the Company is entitled to receive royalties on product sales, if any. Novartis also has the right to convert the noted non-exclusive license to an exclusive license, in which case the Company would be entitled to receive, depending on the composition of resultant products, an upward adjustment on milestone payments.

 

In accordance with ACS 605-25 (as amended by ASU No. 2009-13), the Company identified all of the deliverables at the inception of the right-to-test agreement and subsequently when amended. The significant deliverables were determined to be the right-to-test, or research, license, the development and commercialization licenses, rights to future technological improvements, and the research services. The options to obtain development and commercialization licenses in the right-to-test agreement were determined not to be substantive and, as a result, the exclusive development and commercialization licenses were considered deliverables at the inception of the right-to-test agreement. Factors that were considered in determining the options were not substantive included (i) the overall objective of the agreement was for Novartis to obtain development and commercialization licenses, (ii) the size of the exercise fee of $1 million for each development and commercialization license obtained is not significant relative to the $45 million upfront payment that was due at the inception of the right-to-test agreement, (iii) the limited economic benefit that Novartis could obtain from the right-to-test agreement unless it exercised its options to obtain development and commercialization licenses, and (iv) the lack of economic penalties as a result of exercising the options.

 

The Company has determined that the research license together with the development and commercialization licenses represent one unit of accounting as the research license does not have stand-alone value from the development and commercialization licenses due to the lack of transferability of the research license and the limited economic benefit Novartis would derive if they did not obtain any development and commercialization licenses. The Company has also determined that this unit of accounting does have stand-alone value from the rights to future technological improvements and the research services. The rights to future technological improvements and the research services are considered separate units of accounting as each of these was determined to have stand-alone value. The rights to future technological improvements have stand-alone value as Novartis would be able to use those items for their intended purpose without the undelivered elements. The research services have stand-alone value as similar services are sold separately by other vendors.

 

The estimated selling prices for the development and commercialization licenses are the Company’s best estimate of selling price and were determined based on market conditions, similar arrangements entered into by third parties, including the Company’s understanding of pricing terms offered by its competitors for single-target development and commercialization licenses that utilize ADC technology, and entity-specific factors such as the pricing terms of the Company’s previous single-target development and commercialization licenses, recent preclinical and clinical testing results of therapeutic products that use the Company’s ADC technology, and the Company’s pricing practices and pricing objectives. The estimated selling price of the right to technological improvements is the Company’s best estimate of selling price and was determined by estimating the probability that technological improvements will be made and the probability that such technological improvements made will be used by Novartis. In estimating these probabilities, we considered factors such as the technology that is the subject of the development and commercialization licenses, our history of making technological improvements, and when such improvements, if any, were likely to occur relative to the stage of development of any product candidates pursuant to the development and commercialization licenses. The Company’s estimate of probability considered the likely period of time that any improvements would be utilized, which was estimated to be ten years following delivery of a commercialization and development license. The value of any technological improvements made available after this ten year period was considered to be de minimis due to the significant additional costs that would be incurred to incorporate such technology into any existing product candidates. The estimate of probability was multiplied by the estimated selling price of the development and commercialization licenses and the resulting cash flow was discounted at a rate of 16%, representing the Company’s estimate of its cost of capital at the time. The estimated selling price of the research services was based on third-party evidence given the nature of the research services to be performed for Novartis and market rates for similar services.

 

Upon payment of the extension fee in October 2013, the total arrangement consideration of $60.2 million (which comprises the $45 million upfront payment, the amendment fee of $3.5 million, the $5 million extension fee, the exercise fee for each license,

and the expected fees for the research services to be provided under the remainder of the arrangement) was reallocated to the deliverables based on the relative selling price method as follows: $55 million to the delivered and undelivered development and commercialization licenses; $4.5 million to the rights to future technological improvements; and $710,000 to the research services. The Company recorded $17.2 million of the $55 million of the arrangement consideration outlined above for the two development and commercialization licenses taken by Novartis in October 2013 and November 2013, which is included in license and milestone fee revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013.  The Company also recorded a cumulative catch-up of $1 million for the license delivered in March 2013 and the delivered portion of the license covering future technological improvements, which is included in license and milestone fee revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013.

 

Since execution of the first development and commercialization license taken in March 2013, the amount of the total arrangement consideration allocated to future technological improvements is being recognized as revenue ratably over the period the Company is obligated to make available any technological improvements, which is equivalent to the estimated term of the agreement. The Company estimates the term of a development and commercialization license to be approximately 25 years, which reflects management’s estimate of the time necessary to develop and commercialize products pursuant to the license plus the estimated royalty term. The Company reassesses the estimated term at the end of each reporting period. The Company does not control when Novartis will exercise its options for development and commercialization licenses. As a result, the Company cannot predict when it will recognize the related remaining license revenue except that it will be within the term of the research license. The Company will recognize research services revenue as the related services are delivered.

 

Lilly

 

In December 2011, the Company entered into a three-year right-to-test agreement with Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly). The agreement provides Lilly with the right to (a) take exclusive options, with certain restrictions, to individual targets selected by Lilly for specified option periods, (b) test the Company’s maytansinoid ADC technology with Lilly’s antibodies directed to the optioned targets under a right-to-test, or research, license, and (c) upon exercise of those options, take exclusive licenses to use the Company’s maytansinoid ADC technology to develop and commercialize products for a specified number of individual targets on terms agreed upon at the inception of the right-to-test agreement. The terms of the right-to-test agreement require Lilly to exercise its options for the development and commercialization licenses by the end of the term of the research license. In August 2013, Lilly took its first development and commercialization license to a single target.

 

The Company received a $20 million upfront payment in connection with the execution of the right-to-test agreement, and for the first development and commercialization license taken in August 2013 and amended in December 2013, the Company received an exercise fee in the amount of $2 million and is entitled to receive up to a total of $199 million in milestone payments, plus royalties on the commercial sales of any resulting products. Lilly has the right to elect, at its discretion, which of the two additional development and commercialization licenses it has a right to take under the right-to-test agreement will have no exercise fee and which will have an exercise fee of $2 million. With respect to any subsequent development and commercialization license taken, if Lilly elects that the $2 million exercise fee is payable, the Company is entitled to receive, in addition to the  exercise fee, up to a total of $199 million in milestone payments, plus royalties on the commercial sales of any resulting products. If Lilly elects that no exercise fee is payable when it takes a development and commercialization license, the Company is entitled to receive up to a total of $200.5 million in milestone payments, plus royalties on the commercial sales of any resulting products. The total milestones are categorized as follows: development milestones—$29 million for the development and commercialization licenses with respect to which the $2 million exercise fee is paid, and $30.5 million for the development and commercialization license with respect to which no exercise fee is payable; regulatory milestones—$70 million in all cases; and sales milestones—$100 million in all cases. The next payment the Company could receive would either be a $5 million development milestone payment with the initiation of a Phase I clinical trial under the first development and commercialization license taken, or a $2 million exercise fee for the execution of an additional license if Lilly elects to pay the exercise fee with respect to such license. At the time of execution of this agreement, there was significant uncertainty as to whether the milestone related to initiation of a Phase I clinical trial under the first development and commercialization license would be achieved. In consideration of this, as well as the Company’s expected involvement in the research and manufacturing of these product candidates, this milestone was deemed substantive. The Company also is entitled to receive payments for delivery of cytotoxic agents to Lilly and research and development activities performed on behalf of Lilly. Lilly is responsible for the manufacturing, product development and marketing of any products resulting from this collaboration.

 

In accordance with ASC 605-25 (as amended by ASU No. 2009-13), the Company identified all of the deliverables at the inception of the right-to-test agreement. The significant deliverables were determined to be the right-to-test, or research, license, the exclusive development and commercialization licenses, rights to future technological improvements, delivery of cytotoxic agents and the research services. The options to obtain development and commercialization licenses in the right-to-test agreement were determined not to be substantive and, as a result, the exclusive development and commercialization licenses were considered deliverables at the inception of the right-to-test agreement. Factors that were considered in determining the options were not substantive included (i) the overall objective of the agreement was for Lilly to obtain development and commercialization licenses,

(ii) the size of the exercise fees of $2 million for each development and commercialization license taken beyond the first license is not significant relative to the $20 million upfront payment that was due at the inception of the right-to-test agreement, (iii) the limited economic benefit that Lilly could obtain from the right-to-test agreement unless it exercised its options to obtain development and commercialization licenses, and (iv) the lack of economic penalties as a result of exercising the options.

 

The Company has determined that the research license together with the development and commercialization licenses represent one unit of accounting as the research license does not have stand-alone value from the development and commercialization licenses due to the lack of transferability of the research license and the limited economic benefit Lilly would derive if they did not obtain any development and commercialization licenses. The Company has also determined that this unit of accounting has stand-alone value from the rights to future technological improvements, the delivery of cytotoxic agents and the research services. The rights to future technological improvements, delivery of cytotoxic agents and the research services are considered separate units of accounting as each of these was determined to have stand-alone value. The rights to future technological improvements have stand-alone value as Lilly would be able to use those items for their intended purpose without the undelivered elements. The research services and cytotoxic agents have stand-alone value as similar services and products are sold separately by other vendors.

 

The estimated selling prices for the development and commercialization licenses are the Company’s best estimate of selling price and were determined based on market conditions, similar arrangements entered into by third parties, including pricing terms offered by our competitors for single-target development and commercialization licenses that utilize antibody-drug conjugate technology, and entity-specific factors such as the pricing terms of the Company’s previous single-target development and commercialization licenses, recent preclinical and clinical testing results of therapeutic products that use the Company’s ADC technology, and the Company’s pricing practices and pricing objectives. The estimated selling price of the rights to technological improvements is the Company’s best estimate of selling price and was determined by estimating the probability that technological improvements will be made, and the probability that technological improvements made will be used by Lilly. In estimating these probabilities, we considered factors such as the technology that is the subject of the development and commercialization licenses, our history of making technological improvements, and when such improvements, if any, were likely to occur relative to the stage of development of any product candidates pursuant to the development and commercialization licenses. The company’s estimate of probability considered the likely period of time that any improvements would be utilized, which was estimated to be ten years following delivery of a commercialization and development license. The value of any technological improvements made available after this ten year period was considered to be de minimis due to the significant additional costs that would be incurred to incorporate such technology into any existing product candidates. The estimate of probability was multiplied by the estimated selling price of the development and commercialization licenses and the resulting cash flow was discounted at a rate of 16%, representing the Company’s estimate of its cost of capital at the time. The estimated selling price of the cytotoxic agent was based on third-party evidence given market rates for the manufacture of such cytotoxic agents. The estimated selling price of the research services was based on third-party evidence given the nature of the research services to be performed for Lilly and market rates for similar services.

 

The total arrangement consideration of $28.2 million (which comprises the $20 million upfront payment, the exercise fee, if any, for each license, the expected fees for the research services to be provided and the cytotoxic agent to be delivered under the arrangement) was allocated to the deliverables based on the relative selling price method as follows: $23.5 million to the development and commercialization licenses; $0.6 million to the rights to future technological improvements, $0.8 million to the sale of cytotoxic agent; and $3.3 million to the research services. Upon execution of the development and commercialization license taken by Lilly in August 2013, the Company recorded $7.8 million of the $23.5 million of the arrangement consideration outlined above, which is included in license and milestone fee revenue for the six month period ended December 31, 2013. With this first development and commercialization license taken, the amount of the total arrangement consideration allocated to future technological improvements will commence to be recognized as revenue ratably over the period the Company is obligated to make available any technological improvements, which is the equivalent to the estimated term of the license. The Company estimates the term of a development and commercialization license to be approximately 25 years, which reflects management’s estimate of the time necessary to develop and commercialize therapeutic products pursuant to the license plus the estimated royalty term. The Company will reassess the estimated term at each subsequent reporting period. The Company will recognize as license revenue an equal amount of the total remaining $15.7 million of arrangement consideration allocated to the development and commercialization licenses as each individual license is delivered to Lilly upon Lilly’s exercise of its remaining options to such licenses. The Company does not control when Lilly will exercise its options for development and commercialization licenses. As a result, the Company cannot predict when it will recognize the related license revenue except that it will be within the term of the research license. The Company will recognize research services revenue and revenue from the delivery of cytotoxic agents as the related services and cytotoxic agents are delivered.

 

In December 2013, the Company and Lilly amended the right-to-test agreement and the first development and commercialization license. Under these amendments, Lilly now has the right to extend the three-year research period under the right-to-test agreement for up to two six-month periods by payment to the Company of additional consideration prior to the expiration of both the original term or the first extended term of that agreement. In addition, Lilly retroactively paid the Company an exercise fee of $2.0 million for the first development and commercialization license, and has the right to elect, at its discretion, which of the

additional development and commercialization licenses, if any, taken under the right-to-test agreement will have no exercise fee and which will have an exercise fee of $2.0 million. The application of the $2 million exercise fee to the first license granted under the arrangement did not impact the total arrangement consideration, only the timing of payment of the consideration.  Due to the contingent nature of the extension fees, the lack of overall change in the total consideration for the licenses and the Company’s conclusion that there has been no change in the relative selling prices originally used in the allocation of the consideration, there was no accounting impact upon the execution of the amendment.

C.     Capital Stock

 

2001 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan

 

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded approximately $15,000 and $12,000 in expense reduction, respectively, related to stock units outstanding under the Company’s 2001 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan, or the 2001 Plan, compared to $12,000 and $25,000 in expense reduction recorded during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, respectively. The value of the stock units are classified as a liability and adjusted to market value at each reporting period as the redemption amount of stock units for this plan will be paid in cash.  No stock units have been issued under the 2001 Plan subsequent to June 30, 2004.

 

Compensation Policy for Non-Employee Directors

 

On November 12, 2013, the Board amended the Compensation Policy for Non-Employee Directors to make certain changes to the compensation of its non-employee directors, including an increase in the fees paid in cash to the non-employee directors. Under the terms of the amended policy, the redemption amount of deferred share units issued will continue to be paid in shares of common stock of the Company on the date a director ceases to be a member of the Board. Annual retainers vest quarterly over approximately one year from the date of grant, contingent upon the individual remaining a director of ImmunoGen as of each vesting date.  The number of deferred share units awarded is now fixed per the plan on the date of the award and is no longer based on the market price of the company’s common stock on the date of the award. All unvested deferred stock awards will automatically vest immediately prior to the occurrence of a change of control.

 

In addition to the deferred share units, the Non-Employee Directors are now also entitled to receive a fixed number of stock options instead of a fixed grant date fair value of options, determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model measured on the date of grant, which would be the date of the annual meeting of shareholders.  These options vest quarterly over approximately one year from the date of grant.  Any new directors will receive a pro-rated award, depending on their date of election to the Board.  The directors received a total of 80,000, 41,805 and 33,187 options in the six months ended December 31, 2013, and fiscal years ended 2013 and 2012, respectively, and the related compensation expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is included in the amounts discussed in the “Stock-Based Compensation” section of footnote A above.

 

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded approximately $100,000 and $197,000 in compensation expense, respectively, related to deferred share units issued and outstanding under the Company’s Compensation Policy for Non-Employee Directors, compared to $78,000 and $155,000 in compensation expense recorded during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, respectively. Pursuant to the Compensation Policy for Non-Employee Directors, in November 2013, the Company issued a retiring director 43,615 shares of common stock of the Company to settle outstanding deferred share units.

 

D.    Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

As of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the Company held $178.1 million and $195.0 million, respectively, in cash and money market funds consisting principally of U.S. Government-issued securities and high quality, short-term commercial paper which were classified as cash and cash equivalents.

Company to extend the lease for two additional terms of five years. In December 2013, the Company modified its lease agreement at 830 Winter Street, Waltham, MA to include approximately 19,000 square feet of additional office space through 2020, concurrent with the remainder of the original lease term. As part of the lease amendment, the Company will receive a construction allowance of approximately $746,000 to build out office space to the Company’s specifications. The Company obtained physical control of the additional space to begin construction in January 2014. The Company is required to pay certain operating expenses for the leased premises subject to escalation charges for certain expense increases over a base amount. The Company entered into a sublease in December 2009 for 14,100 square feet of this space in Waltham through January 2015, with the sublessee having a conditional option to extend the term for an additional two years.  However, the Company has notified the sublessee that it does not intend to allow them to extend the term beyond January 2015.

 

Effective April 2012, the Company entered into a sublease agreement for the rental of 7,310 square feet of laboratory and office space at 830 Winter Street, Waltham, MA from Histogenics Corporation. The initial term of the sublease is for three years with a conditional option for the Company to extend the lease through October 2017.  The Company is required to pay certain operating expenses for the leased premises subject to escalation charges for certain expense increases over a base amount.

 

Effective March 2013, the Company entered into a lease agreement for the rental of 43,850 square feet in Norwood, MA through 2018 with an option to extend the lease for an additional term of five years. The Company is required to pay certain operating expenses for the leased premises subject to escalation charges for certain expense increases over a base amount.

 

Effective April 2013, the Company entered into a lease agreement with River Ridge Limited Partnership for the rental of 7,507 square feet of additional office space at 100 River Ridge Drive, Norwood, MA. The initial term of the lease is for five years and two months commencing in August 2013 with an option for the Company to extend the lease for an additional term of five years. The Company is required to pay certain operating expenses for the leased premises subject to escalation charges for certain expense increases over a base amount.

 

As of December 31, 2013, the minimum rental commitments for the Company’s facilities, including real estate taxes and other expenses, for the next five fiscal years and thereafter under the non-cancelable operating lease agreements discussed above are as follows (in thousands):

Collaborations

 

The Company is contractually obligated to make potential future success-based regulatory milestone payments in conjunction with a certain collaborative agreement. These payments are contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events and, given the nature of these events, it is unclear when, if ever, the Company may be required to pay such amounts. Further, the timing of any future payment is not reasonably estimable. As of December 31, 2013, the maximum amount that may be payable in the future under the Company’s current collaborative agreement is $2.0 million, $1.4 million of which is reimbursable by a third party under a separate agreement.

ITEM 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

OVERVIEW

 

Since our inception, we have been principally engaged in the development of novel, antibody-drug conjugates, or ADCs, for the treatment of cancer using our expertise in cancer biology, monoclonal antibodies, highly potent cytotoxic, or cell-killing, agents, and the design of linkers that enable these agents to remain stably attached to the antibodies while in the blood stream and released in their fully active form after delivery to a cancer cell. An anticancer compound made using our ADC technology consists of a monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to an antigen target found on the surface of cancer cells with one of our proprietary cell-killing agents attached to the antibody using one of our engineered linkers. An ADC compound’s antibody component enables it to bind to cancer cells that express its target antigen, the highly potent cytotoxic agent serves to kill the cancer cell, and the engineered linker controls the release and activation of the cytotoxic agent inside the cancer cell. With some ADC compounds, the antibody component also has anticancer activity of its own. Our ADC technology is designed to enable the creation of highly effective, well-tolerated anticancer products. All of the compounds using our proprietary ADC technology currently in clinical testing contain either DM1 or DM4 as the cytotoxic agent. Both DM1 and DM4, collectively DMx, are our proprietary derivatives of a cytotoxic agent called maytansine. We also have expertise in antibodies and cancer biology to develop “naked,” or non-conjugated, antibody anticancer product candidates.

 

We have used our proprietary ADC technology in conjunction with our in-house antibody expertise to develop our own anticancer product candidates. We have also entered into collaborative agreements that enable companies to use our ADC technology to develop and commercialize product candidates to specified targets. Under the terms of our collaborative agreements, we are generally entitled to upfront fees, milestone payments and royalties on any commercial product sales. In addition, under certain agreements we are compensated for research and development activities performed at our collaborative partner’s request at negotiated prices which are generally consistent with what other third parties would charge. We are compensated to manufacture preclinical and clinical materials and deliver cytotoxic agent at negotiated prices which are generally consistent with what other third parties would charge. Currently, our collaborative partners are Amgen, Bayer HealthCare, Biotest, Lilly, Novartis, Roche and Sanofi. We expect that substantially all of our revenue for the foreseeable future will result from payments under our collaborative arrangements. Details for some of our collaborative agreements with recent activity follow. Details for our other significant agreements can be found in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K

 

Roche—In May 2000, we granted Genentech, now a unit of Roche, an exclusive license to use our maytansinoid ADC technology with antibodies, such as trastuzumab, or other proteins that target HER2. Under the terms of this agreement, Roche has exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize maytansinoid ADC compounds targeting HER2. In February 2013, the US FDA granted marketing approval to the HER2-targeting ADC compound, Kadcyla.  Roche received marketing approval for Kadcyla in Japan and in the EU in September 2013 and November 2013, respectively, and with each event, we received a $5 million regulatory milestone payment. Roche is responsible for the manufacturing, product development and marketing of Kadcyla and any other products resulting from the agreement. We received a $2 million non-refundable upfront payment from Roche upon execution of the agreement. We are also entitled to receive up to a total of $44 million in milestone payments, plus royalties on the commercial sales of Kadcyla and any other resulting products. Total milestones are categorized as follows: development milestones—$13.5 million; and regulatory milestones—$30.5 million. Through December 31, 2013, we have received and recognized $13.5 million and $20.5 million in development and regulatory milestone payments, respectively, related to Kadcyla. Included in license and milestone fees for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 is the $5 million milestone payment for marketing approval of Kadcyla in the EU and included in license and milestone fees for the six months ended December 31, 2013 is the $5 million milestone payment for marketing approval of Kadcyla in Japan.

 

We receive royalty reports and payments related to sales of Kadcyla from Roche one quarter in arrears.  In accordance with our revenue recognition policy, $2.3 million of royalties on net sales of Kadcyla for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 were recorded and included in royalty revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and $4.4 million of royalties on net sales of Kadcyla for the six-month period ended September 30, 2013 is included in royalty revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2013.  No such royalties were recorded in the prior year periods.

 

Amgen— Under a now-expired right-to-test agreement entered into with Amgen in December 2000, in September 2009, November 2009 and December 2012, Amgen took three exclusive development and commercialization licenses, for which we received an exercise fee of $1 million for each license taken. In May 2013, Amgen took one non-exclusive development and commercialization license, for which we received an exercise fee of $500,000. In October 2013, the non-exclusive license was amended and converted to an exclusive license, for which Amgen paid an additional $500,000 fee to us.  For each of these development and commercialization license taken, we are entitled to receive up to a total of $34 million in milestone payments, plus royalties on the commercial sales of any resulting products. The total milestones per exclusive development and commercialization license are categorized as follows: development milestones—$9 million; regulatory milestones—$20 million; and sales milestones—$5 million. Amgen no longer has the right to take additional options for development and commercialization licenses under the agreement.

Since a deliverable to the original right-to-test agreement was determined to be materially modified at the time the non-exclusive license was converted to exclusive in October 2013, we accounted for the multiple-element agreement in accordance with ACS 605-25 (as amended by ASU No. 2009-13).  As a result, all of the deferred revenue recorded on the date of the modification and the new consideration received as part of the modification was allocated to all of the remaining deliverables at the time of amendment of the right-to-test agreement based on the estimated selling price of each element.  The remaining amount represents consideration for previously delivered elements and was recognized upon the execution of the modification.

 

The outstanding licenses, including the exclusive license delivered upon the signing of the amendment, contain the rights to future technological improvements as well as options to purchase materials and research and development services. We concluded that additional materials and research and development services would be paid at a contractual price equal to the estimated selling price based estimated prices that would be charged by third parties for similar services.  The estimated selling price of the right to technological improvements is the Company’s best estimate of selling price and was determined by estimating the probability that technological improvements will be made and the probability that such technological improvements made will be used by Amgen. The $430,000 determined to be the estimated selling price of the future technological improvements is being recognized as revenue ratably over the period we are obligated to make available any technological improvements, which is equivalent to the estimated term of the agreement, or 25 years. After accounting for the undelivered elements at the estimated selling price, we had $2.2 million of remaining allocable consideration which was determined to represent consideration for the previously delivered elements, including the exclusive license that was delivered upon the execution of the modification.  This amount was recorded as revenue and is included in license and milestone fees for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013.

 

Sanofi— In December 2006, we entered into a right-to-test agreement with Sanofi. The agreement provides Sanofi with the right to (a) test our maytansinoid ADC technology with Sanofi’s antibodies to targets under a right-to-test, or research, license, (b) take exclusive options, with certain restrictions, to specified targets for specified option periods and (c) upon exercise of those options, take exclusive licenses to use our maytansinoid ADC technology to develop and commercialize products directed to the specified targets on terms agreed upon at the inception of the right-to-test agreement. For each development and commercialization license taken, we are entitled to receive an exercise fee of $2 million and up to a total of $30 million in milestone payments, plus royalties on the commercial sales of any resulting products. The total milestones are categorized as follows: development milestones—$10 million; and regulatory milestones—$20 million. In December 2013, Sanofi took its first exclusive development and commercialization license under the right-to-test agreement, for which we received an exercise fee of $2 million. We have deferred the exercise fee and are recognizing the $2 million as revenue ratably over our estimated period of substantial involvement.

 

Novartis— In October 2010, we entered into a three-year right-to-test agreement with Novartis. The agreement provides Novartis with the right to (a) test our ADC technology with individual antibodies selected by Novartis under a right-to-test, or research, license, (b) take exclusive options, with certain restrictions, to individual targets selected by Novartis for specified option periods and (c) upon exercise of those options, take exclusive licenses to use our ADC technology to develop and commercialize products for a specified number of individual targets on terms agreed upon at the inception of the right-to-test agreement. The initial three-year term of the right-to-test agreement was extended by Novartis in October 2013 for an additional one-year period by payment of a $5 million fee to us. In addition to the one-year extension taken in October 2013, the terms of the right-to-test agreement allow Novartis to extend the research term for one additional one-year period by payment of additional consideration. The terms of the right-to-test agreement require Novartis to exercise its options for the development and commercialization licenses by the end of the term of the research license. We received a $45 million upfront payment in connection with the execution of the right-to-test agreement, and for each development and commercialization license for a specific target, we are entitled to receive an exercise fee of $1 million and up to a total of $199.5 million in milestone payments, plus royalties on the commercial sales of any resulting products. The total milestones are categorized as follows: development milestones—$22.5 million; regulatory milestones—$77 million; and sales milestones—$100 million.

 

Effective March 29, 2013, we and Novartis amended the right-to-test agreement so that Novartis can take a license to develop and commercialize products directed at two pre-defined and related undisclosed targets, one target licensed on an exclusive basis and the other target initially licensed on a non-exclusive basis. The target licensed on a non-exclusive basis may be converted to an exclusive target by notice and payment to us of an agreed-upon fee of at least $5 million, depending on specific circumstances. We received a $3.5 million fee in connection with the execution of the amendment to the agreement.  We may be required to credit this fee against future milestone payments if Novartis discontinues the development of a specified product under certain circumstances.

 

In connection with the amendment, on March 29, 2013, Novartis took the license referenced above under the right-to-test agreement, as amended, enabling it to develop and commercialize products directed at the two targets.  We received a $1 million upfront fee with the execution of this license.  Additionally, the execution of this license provides us the opportunity to receive milestone payments totaling $199.5 million (development milestones—$22.5 million; regulatory milestones—$77 million; and sales milestones—$100 million) or $238 million (development milestones—$22.5 million; regulatory milestones—$115.5 million; and sales milestones—$100 million), depending on the composition of any resulting products.  Additionally, under the license agreements, we are entitled to receive royalties on product sales, if any.  Novartis also has the right to convert the noted non-exclusive license to an

 

22



Table of Contents

 

exclusive license, in which case we would be entitled to receive a conversion fee and, depending on the composition of resultant products, an upward adjustment on milestone payments.  In October 2013 and November 2013, Novartis took its second and third exclusive license to a single target, each triggering a $1 million payment to us and the opportunity to receive milestone payments totaling $199.5 million for each license taken, as outlined above. In accordance with our revenue recognition policy, upon execution of the development and commercialization licenses taken by Novartis in October 2013 and November 2013 and payment of the one-year extension fee, we recorded $17.2 million of revenue, which is included in license and milestone fee revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013. We also recorded a cumulative catch-up of $1 million for the license delivered in March 2013 and the delivered portion of the license covering future technological improvements, which is included in license and milestone fee revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013.

 

Lilly— In December 2011, we entered into a three-year right-to-test agreement with Lilly. The agreement provides Lilly with the right to (a) take exclusive options, with certain restrictions, to individual targets selected by Lilly for specified option periods, (b) test our maytansinoid ADC technology with Lilly’s antibodies directed to the optioned targets under a right-to-test, or research, license, and (c) upon exercise of those options, take exclusive licenses to use our maytansinoid ADC technology to develop and commercialize products for a specified number of individual targets on terms agreed upon at the inception of the right-to-test agreement. The terms of the right-to-test agreement require Lilly to exercise its options for the development and commercialization licenses by the end of the term of the research license. In August 2013, Lilly took its first development and commercialization license to a single target.

 

We received a $20 million upfront payment in connection with the execution of the right-to-test agreement.  In December 2013, we and Lilly amended the right-to-test agreement and the first development and commercialization license.  Under these amendments, Lilly now has the right to extend the three-year research period under the right-to-test agreement for up to two six-month periods by payment to us of additional consideration prior to the expiration of both the original term or the first extended term of that agreement. In addition, Lilly retroactively paid us an exercise fee of $2 million for the first development and commercialization license, and has the right to elect, at its discretion, which of the two additional development and commercialization licenses it has a right to take under the right-to-test agreement will have no exercise fee and which will have an exercise fee of $2 million. The application of the $2 million exercise fee to the first license granted under the arrangement did not impact the total arrangement consideration, only the timing of payment of the consideration. For the first development and commercialization license taken, which occurred in August 2013, we are entitled to receive up to a total of $199 million in milestone payments, plus royalties on the commercial sales of any resulting products. With respect to any subsequent development and commercialization license taken, if Lilly elects that the $2 million exercise fee is payable, we are entitled to receive, in addition to the exercise fee, up to a total of $199 million in milestone payments, plus royalties on the commercial sales of any resulting products.  If Lilly elects that no exercise fee is payable when it takes a subsequent development and commercialization license, we are entitled to receive up to a total of 200.5 million in milestone payments, plus royalties on the commercial sales of any resulting products. The total milestones are categorized as follows: development milestones—$29 million for the development and commercialization licenses with respect to which the $2 million exercise fee is paid, and $30.5 million for the development and commercialization license with respect to which no exercise fee is payable; regulatory milestones—$70 million in all cases; and sales milestones—$100 million in all cases. In accordance with our revenue recognition policy, upon execution of the development and commercialization license taken by Lilly in August 2013, we recorded $7.8 million of revenue which is included in license and milestone fee revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2013.

 

To date, we have not generated revenues from our proprietary commercial product sales and we expect to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately $178.1 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $195.0 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2013.

 

We anticipate that future cash expenditures will be partially offset by collaboration-derived proceeds, including milestone payments, royalties and upfront fees. Accordingly, period-to-period operating results may fluctuate dramatically based upon the timing of receipt of the proceeds. We believe that our established collaboration agreements, while subject to specified milestone achievements, will provide funding to assist us in meeting obligations under our collaborative agreements while also providing funding for the development of internal product candidates and technologies. However, we can give no assurances that such collaborative agreement funding will, in fact, be realized in the time frames we expect, or at all. Should we or our partners not meet some or all of the terms and conditions of our various collaboration agreements, we may be required to pursue additional strategic partners, secure alternative financing arrangements, and/or defer or limit some or all of our research, development and/or clinical projects. However, we cannot provide assurance that any such opportunities presented by additional strategic partners or alternative financing arrangements will be entirely available to us, if at all.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our

estimates, including those related to our collaborative agreements, inventory and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Comparison of Three Months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Revenues

 

Our total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $30.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The $27.5 million increase in revenues in the three months ended December 31, 2013 from the same period in the prior year is attributable to an increase in license and milestone fees and royalty revenue, partially offset by a decrease in research and development support revenue and clinical materials revenue, all of which are discussed below.

 

Revenues from license and milestone fees for the three months ended December 31, 2013 increased $25.2 million to $25.7 million from $429,000 in the same period ended December 31, 2012. Included in license and milestone fees for the three months ended December 31, 2013 is a $5 million regulatory milestone achieved under our collaboration agreement with Roche, $18.2 million of license revenue earned upon the execution of two development and commercialization licenses and a one-year extension of the original term of the multi-target agreement by Novartis and $2.2 million of revenue from Amgen related to a modification of an existing arrangement.  The amount of license and milestone fees we earn is directly related to the number of our collaborators, the collaborators’ advancement of the product candidates, and the overall success in the clinical trials of the product candidates. As such, the amount of license and milestone fees may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.  Total revenue from license and milestone fees recognized from each of our collaborative partners in the three-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is included in the following table (in thousands):

Deferred revenue of $49.0 million as of December 31, 2013 primarily represents payments received from our collaborators pursuant to our license agreements, which we have yet to earn pursuant to our revenue recognition policy.

 

In February 2013, the U.S. FDA granted marketing approval to Kadcyla, a product resulting from one of our development and commercialization licenses with Roche, through its Genentech unit. We receive royalty reports and payments related to sales of Kadcyla from Roche one quarter in arrears. In accordance with our revenue recognition policy, $2.3 million of royalties on net sales of Kadcyla for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 were recorded and included in royalty revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2013. No royalty revenue was recorded in the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. We expect royalty revenue to increase in future periods as the underlying net sales of Kadcyla increase.

 

Research and development support revenue was $1.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared with $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012. These amounts primarily represent research funding earned based on actual resources utilized under our agreements with our collaborators shown in the table below. Also included in research and development support revenue are fees for developing antibody-specific conjugation processes on behalf of our collaborators and potential collaborators during the early evaluation and preclinical testing stages of drug development. The amount of research and development support revenue we earn is directly related to the number of our collaborators and potential collaborators, the stage of development of our collaborators’ product candidates and the resources our collaborators allocate to the development effort. As such, the amount of research and development support revenue may vary widely from quarter to quarter and year to year. Total revenue

Clinical materials revenue decreased $22,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2013 to $125,000 from $147,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2012. We are compensated at negotiated prices which are generally consistent with what other third-parties would charge. The amount of clinical materials revenue we earn, and the related cost of clinical materials charged to research and development expense, is directly related to the number of clinical trials our collaborators who use us to manufacture clinical materials are preparing or have underway, the speed of enrollment in those trials, the dosage schedule of each clinical trial and the time period, if any, during which patients in the trial receive clinical benefit from the clinical materials, and the demand our collaborators have for clinical-grade material for process development and analytical purposes. As such, the amount of clinical materials revenue and the related cost of clinical materials charged to research and development expense may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Our research and development expenses relate to (i) research to evaluate new targets and to develop and evaluate new antibodies, linkers and cytotoxic agents, (ii) preclinical testing of our own and, in certain instances, our collaborators’ product candidates, and the cost of our own clinical trials, (iii) development related to clinical and commercial manufacturing processes and (iv) manufacturing operations which also includes raw materials.

 

Research and development expense for the three months ended December 31, 2013 decreased $794,000 to $20.9 million from $21.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to decreased costs for third-party production of antibody and costs to fill conjugated material for use in clinical materials due to timing, decreased clinical trial costs driven by the termination of the IMGN901 Phase II trial in the current period and an increase in costs capitalized into inventory due to a greater number of manufactured batches of conjugated materials on behalf of our collaborators. Partially offsetting these decreases, salaries and related expenses increased due to additional headcount, increased incentive compensation and increased stock compensation costs. The number of our research and development personnel increased to 256 as of December 31, 2013 compared to 225 at December 31, 2012. The higher stock compensation is driven by higher stock prices and increases in the number the number of options granted due to increases in personnel. A more detailed discussion of research and development expense in the period follows.

 

We are unable to accurately estimate which potential product candidates, if any, will eventually move into our internal preclinical research program. We are unable to reliably estimate the costs to develop these products as a result of the uncertainties related to discovery research efforts as well as preclinical and clinical testing. Our decision to move a product candidate into the clinical development phase is predicated upon the results of preclinical tests. We cannot accurately predict which, if any, of the discovery stage product candidates will advance from preclinical testing and move into our internal clinical development program. The clinical trial and regulatory approval processes for our product candidates that have advanced or that we intend to advance to clinical testing are lengthy, expensive and uncertain in both timing and outcome. As a result, the pace and timing of the clinical development of our product candidates is highly uncertain and may not ever result in approved products. Completion dates and development costs will vary significantly for each product candidate and are difficult to predict. A variety of factors, many of which are outside our control, could cause or contribute to the prevention or delay of the successful completion of our clinical trials, or delay or prevent our obtaining necessary regulatory approvals. The costs to take a product through clinical trials are dependent upon, among other factors, the clinical indications, the timing, size and design of each clinical trial, the number of patients enrolled in each trial, and the speed at which patients are enrolled and treated. Product candidates may be found to be ineffective or to cause unacceptable side effects during clinical trials, may take longer to progress through clinical trials than anticipated, may fail to receive necessary regulatory approvals or may prove impractical to manufacture in commercial quantities at reasonable cost or with acceptable quality.

The lengthy process of securing FDA approvals for new drugs requires the expenditure of substantial resources. Any failure by us to obtain, or any delay in obtaining regulatory approvals would materially adversely affect our product development efforts and our business overall. Accordingly, we cannot currently estimate, with any degree of certainty, the amount of time or money that we will be required to expend in the future on our product candidates prior to their regulatory approval, if such approval is ever granted. As a result of these uncertainties surrounding the timing and outcome of our clinical trials, we are currently unable to estimate when, if ever, our product candidates that have advanced into clinical testing will generate revenues and cash flows.

 

We do not track our research and development costs by project. Since we use our research and development resources across multiple research and development projects, we manage our research and development expenses within each of the categories listed in the following table and described in more detail below (in thousands):

Research:   Research includes expenses primarily associated with activities to identify and evaluate new targets and to develop and evaluate new antibodies, linkers and cytotoxic agents for our products and in support of our collaborators. Such expenses primarily include personnel, contract services, facilities and lab supplies. Research expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2013 decreased $136,000 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012. We expect research expenses for fiscal 2014 to be marginally higher than fiscal 2013.

 

Preclinical and Clinical Testing: Preclinical and clinical testing includes expenses related to preclinical testing of our own and, in certain instances, our collaborators’ product candidates, regulatory activities, and the cost of our own clinical trials. Such expenses include personnel, patient enrollment at our clinical testing sites, consultant fees, contract services, and facility expenses. Preclinical and clinical testing expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2013 increased $322,000 to $7.3 million compared to $7.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012. This increase is primarily the result of higher salaries and related expenses, partially offset by a decrease in clinical trial costs due primarily to the termination of the IMGN901 007 Phase II study for small-cell lung cancer.  We expect preclinical and clinical testing expenses for fiscal 2014 to be significantly higher than fiscal 2013 due to increased activities to advance our wholly owned product candidates.

 

Process and Product Development:  Process and product development expenses include costs for development of clinical and commercial manufacturing processes for our own and collaborator compounds. Such expenses include the costs of personnel, contract services and facility expenses. For the three months ended December 31, 2013, total development expenses increased $88,000 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012. We expect process and product development expenses for fiscal 2014 to be marginally higher than fiscal 2013.

 

Manufacturing Operations: Manufacturing operations expense includes costs to manufacture preclinical and clinical materials for our own and our collaborator’s product candidates, and quality control and quality assurance activities and costs to support the operation and maintenance of our conjugate manufacturing facility. Such expenses include personnel, raw materials for our and our collaborators’ preclinical studies and clinical trials, development costs with contract manufacturing organizations, manufacturing supplies, and facilities expense. For the three months ended December 31, 2013, manufacturing operations expense decreased $1.1 million to $7.4 million compared to $8.5 million in the same period last year. The decrease in the three months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012 is primarily the result of (i) a decrease in antibody development and supply expense driven primarily by supply required for our IMGN289 program and pivotal activities for our IMGN901 program during the prior period, partially offset by supply required for our IMGN853 program and development activities for an earlier-stage program during the current period; (ii) a decrease in cost of clinical materials revenue due primarily to lower amounts of DMx written off as excess; and (iii) an increase in costs capitalized into inventory due to a greater number of manufactured batches of conjugated materials on behalf of our collaborators. Partially offsetting these decreases, salaries and related expenses increased during the current period and contract service expense increased due primarily to increased study activities related to our cytotoxic agents.  We expect manufacturing operations expense for fiscal 2014 to be significantly higher than fiscal 2013 due primarily to increased activities to advance our wholly owned product candidates.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2013 decreased $17,000 to $5.4 million from the three months ended December 31, 2012. We expect general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2014 to be higher than fiscal 2013 due primarily to increased patent activities, consulting fees and other professional services.

Comparison of Six Months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Revenues

 

Our total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $47.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The $40.6 million increase in revenues in the six months ended December 31, 2013 from the same period in the prior year is attributable to an increase in license and milestone fees, royalty revenue and research and development support revenue, partially offset by a decrease in clinical materials revenue, all of which are discussed below.

 

Revenues from license and milestone fees for the six months ended December 31, 2013 increased $37.5 million to $38.9 million from $1.4 million in the same period ended December 31, 2012. Included in license and milestone fees for the six months ended December 31, 2013 is $7.8 million of license revenue earned upon the execution of a development and commercialization license by Lilly, two $5 million regulatory milestones achieved under our collaboration agreement with Roche, $18.2 million of license revenue earned upon the execution of two development and commercialization licenses and a one-year extension of the original term of the multi-target agreement by Novartis and $2.2 million of revenue from Amgen related to a modification of an existing arrangement.  The amount of license and milestone fees we earn is directly related to the number of our collaborators, the collaborators’ advancement of the product candidates, and the overall success in the clinical trials of the product candidates. As such, the amount of license and milestone fees may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.  Total revenue from license and milestone fees recognized from each of our collaborative partners in the six-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is included in the following table (in thousands):

In February 2013, the U.S. FDA granted marketing approval to Kadcyla, a product resulting from one of our development and commercialization licenses with Roche, through its Genentech unit. We receive royalty reports and payments related to sales of Kadcyla from Roche one quarter in arrears. In accordance with our revenue recognition policy, $4.4 million of royalties on net sales of Kadcyla for the six-month period ended September 30, 2013 were recorded and included in royalty revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2013. No royalty revenue was recorded in the six-month period ended December 31, 2012. We expect royalty revenue to increase in future periods as the underlying net sales of Kadcyla increase.

 

Research and development support revenue was $3.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared with $3.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012. These amounts primarily represent research funding earned based on actual resources utilized under our agreements with our collaborators shown in the table below.

Clinical materials revenue decreased $1.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2013 to $133,000 from $1.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 2012. We are compensated at negotiated prices which are generally consistent with what other third-parties would charge. The amount of clinical materials revenue we earn, and the related cost of clinical materials charged to research and development expense, is directly related to the number of clinical trials our collaborators who use us to manufacture clinical materials are preparing or have underway, the speed of enrollment in those trials, the dosage schedule of each clinical trial and the time period, if any, during which patients in the trial receive clinical benefit from the clinical materials, and the demand our collaborators have for clinical-grade material for process development and analytical purposes.

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expense for the six months ended December 31, 2013 decreased $2.5 million to $42.9 million from $45.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to decreased costs for third-party production of antibody and costs to fill conjugated material for use in clinical materials due to timing, as well as a decrease in cost of clinical materials revenue due to timing of orders of such clinical materials from our partners and lower amounts of DMx written off as excess. Partially offsetting these decreases, salaries and related expenses increased due to additional headcount, increased incentive compensation and increased stock compensation costs.

 

We are unable to accurately estimate which potential product candidates, if any, will eventually move into our internal preclinical research program. We are unable to reliably estimate the costs to develop these products as a result of the uncertainties related to discovery research efforts as well as preclinical and clinical testing. Our decision to move a product candidate into the clinical development phase is predicated upon the results of preclinical tests. We cannot accurately predict which, if any, of the discovery stage product candidates will advance from preclinical testing and move into our internal clinical development program. The clinical trial and regulatory approval processes for our product candidates that have advanced or that we intend to advance to clinical testing are lengthy, expensive and uncertain in both timing and outcome. As a result, the pace and timing of the clinical development of our product candidates is highly uncertain and may not ever result in approved products. Completion dates and development costs will vary significantly for each product candidate and are difficult to predict. A variety of factors, many of which are outside our control, could cause or contribute to the prevention or delay of the successful completion of our clinical trials, or delay or prevent our obtaining necessary regulatory approvals. The costs to take a product through clinical trials are dependent upon, among other factors, the clinical indications, the timing, size and design of each clinical trial, the number of patients enrolled in each trial, and the speed at which patients are enrolled and treated. Product candidates may be found to be ineffective or to cause unacceptable side effects during clinical trials, may take longer to progress through clinical trials than anticipated, may fail to receive necessary regulatory approvals or may prove impractical to manufacture in commercial quantities at reasonable cost or with acceptable quality.

 

The lengthy process of securing FDA approvals for new drugs requires the expenditure of substantial resources. Any failure by us to obtain, or any delay in obtaining regulatory approvals would materially adversely affect our product development efforts and our business overall. Accordingly, we cannot currently estimate, with any degree of certainty, the amount of time or money that we will be required to expend in the future on our product candidates prior to their regulatory approval, if such approval is ever granted. As a result of these uncertainties surrounding the timing and outcome of our clinical trials, we are currently unable to estimate when, if ever, our product candidates that have advanced into clinical testing will generate revenues and cash flows.

 

We do not track our research and development costs by project. Since we use our research and development resources across multiple research and development projects, we manage our research and development expenses within each of the categories listed in the following table and described in more detail below (in thousands):

Research:   Research includes expenses primarily associated with activities to identify and evaluate new targets and to develop and evaluate new antibodies, linkers and cytotoxic agents for our products and in support of our collaborators. Such expenses primarily include personnel, contract services, facilities and lab supplies. Research expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2013 increased $113,000 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2012. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in salaries and related expenses.  We expect research expenses for fiscal 2014 to be marginally higher than fiscal 2013.

 

Preclinical and Clinical Testing: Preclinical and clinical testing includes expenses related to preclinical testing of our own and, in certain instances, our collaborators’ product candidates, regulatory activities, and the cost of our own clinical trials. Such expenses include personnel, patient enrollment at our clinical testing sites, consultant fees, contract services, and facility expenses. Preclinical and clinical testing expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2013 increased $2.1 million to $15.9 million compared to $13.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012. This increase is primarily the result of higher salaries and related expenses, partially offset by a decrease in contract service expense driven by less third-party studies conducted during the current period for the IMGN289 program and an earlier-stage program as compared to the prior year period.  We expect preclinical and clinical testing expenses for fiscal 2014 to be significantly higher than fiscal 2013 due to increased activities to advance our wholly owned product candidates.

 

Process and Product Development:  Process and product development expenses include costs for development of clinical and commercial manufacturing processes for our own and collaborator compounds. Such expenses include the costs of personnel, contract services and facility expenses. For the six months ended December 31, 2013, total development expenses increased $164,000 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2012. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in salaries and related expenses. We expect process and product development expenses for fiscal 2014 to be marginally higher than fiscal 2013.

 

Manufacturing Operations: Manufacturing operations expense includes costs to manufacture preclinical and clinical materials for our own and our collaborator’s product candidates, and quality control and quality assurance activities and costs to support the operation and maintenance of our conjugate manufacturing facility. Such expenses include personnel, raw materials for our and our collaborators’ preclinical studies and clinical trials, development costs with contract manufacturing organizations, manufacturing supplies, and facilities expense. For the six months ended December 31, 2013, manufacturing operations expense decreased $4.8 million to $14.3 million compared to $19.1 million in the same period last year. The decrease in the six months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2012 is primarily the result of (i) a decrease in antibody development and supply expense driven primarily by supply required for our IMGN289 and IMGN901 programs and pivotal activities for our IMGN901 program during the prior period, partially offset by supply required for our IMGN853 program and development activities for an earlier-stage program during the current period; (ii) a decrease in cost of clinical materials revenue due to timing of orders of such clinical materials from our partners and lower amounts of DMx written off as excess; (iii) a decrease in fill/finish costs due primarily to costs to transfer our internal programs to a new supplier during the prior year period; and (iv) an increase in costs capitalized into inventory due to a greater number of manufactured batches of conjugated materials on behalf of our collaborators. Partially offsetting these decreases, salaries and related expenses increased during the current period and contract service expense increased due primarily to increased study activities related to our cytotoxic agents.  We expect manufacturing operations expense for fiscal 2014 to be significantly higher than fiscal 2013 due primarily to increased activities to advance our wholly owned product candidates.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2013 increased $870,000 to $12.0 million compared to $11.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012. This increase is primarily due to an increase in salaries and related expenses, as well as an increase in professional service fees, particularly consulting fees and patent expenses.  We expect general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2014 to be higher than fiscal 2013 due primarily to increased patent activities, consulting fees and other professional services.

Cash Flows

 

We require cash to fund our operating expenses, including the advancement of our own clinical programs, and to make capital expenditures. Historically, we have funded our cash requirements primarily through equity financings in public markets and payments from our collaborators, including license fees, milestones and research funding. In fiscal year 2013, we also began to receive royalties from one collaborator. As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately $178.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. Net cash used for operations was $21.6 million and $42.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The principal use of cash for operating activities for both periods presented was to fund our net loss, adjusted for non-cash items.

 

Net cash used for investing activities was $2.3 million and $2.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and primarily represents cash outflows for capital expenditures. Capital expenditures, primarily for the purchase of new equipment and leasehold improvements, were $2.3 million and $2.0 million for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $7.1 million and $94.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which represents proceeds from the exercise of approximately 861,000 and 128,000 stock options, respectively. Also, pursuant to a public offering in the prior year period, we issued and sold 6,250,000 shares of our common stock resulting in net proceeds of $94.0 million.

 

We anticipate that our current capital resources and expected future collaborator payments under existing collaborations will enable us to meet our operational expenses and capital expenditures at least through fiscal year 2015. However, we cannot provide assurance that such future collaborative agreement funding will, in fact, be received. Should we or our partners not meet some or all of the terms and conditions of our various collaboration agreements, we may be required to pursue additional strategic partners, secure alternative financing arrangements, and/or defer or limit some or all of our research, development and/or clinical projects.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

The Company is obligated to a vendor for certain contractual services to be performed in fiscal 2014. Pursuant to the contract, the Company is required to make a $1.2 million payment to the vendor unless the contract is terminated by the Company for cause. There have been no other material changes to our contractual obligations during the current period from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance to address the diversity in practice related to the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits as either a reduction of a deferred tax asset or a liability when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

1.                                      As an inducement to Tenant’s entering into this Amendment, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a tenant improvement allowance of up to $40.00 per rentable square foot of the 18,655 Premises (totaling $746,200.00 based on 18,655 rentable square feet) (the “Additional Construction Allowance”) to be used by Tenant to pay for the cost to make certain improvements in the 18,655 Premises (“18,655 Premises Work”). Landlord and Tenant specifically agree that Tenant may only apply the Additional Construction Allowance toward “hard costs” and Tenant shall not be permitted to apply the Additional Construction Allowance towards “soft costs” which include, but shall not be limited to, architect’s and engineer’s fees, or furniture, fixtures and equipment expenses.

 

2.                                      Prior to the commencement of the 18,655 Premises Work, Tenant shall be required to submit for Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed: (a) all plans and specifications relating to the 18,655 Premises; and (b) the list of all contractors and architects who will be performing or working in connection with the 18,655 Premises Work.

 

3.                                      Landlord shall pay Landlord’s Proportion (as hereinafter defined) of the cost shown on each requisition (as hereinafter defined) submitted by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of submission thereof until the entirety of the Additional Construction Allowance has been exhausted.  If requested by Tenant, Landlord shall pay Landlord’s Proportion directly to Tenant’s contractors, vendors, service providers and consultants; provided, however, such arrangement is acceptable to Landlord’s mortgagee (if any).  For purposes of the 18,655 Premises Work, Landlord’s Proportion” shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is the Additional Construction Allowance, and the denominator of which is the total contract price for the 18,655 Premises Work. A requisition” shall mean written documentation, including, without limitation, (i) invoices from Tenant’s contractors, vendors, service providers and consultants, and such other documentation as Landlord may reasonably request, showing in reasonable detail the cost of the items in question or improvements installed to date in the 18,655 Premises, accompanied by certifications from Tenant that the amount of the requisition in question is true and correct and does not exceed the cost of the items or improvements covered by such requisition; and (ii) evidence that all of the 18,655 Premises Work and other work done by or on behalf of Tenant which could give rise to any mechanic’s or materialman’s liens has been paid for in full and that any and all liens therefor that have been or may be filed have been satisfied of record or waived (Lien Waivers”) with respect to the prior month’s requisition.  Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, to inspect Tenant’s books and records relating to each requisition in order to verify the amount thereof.

 

4.                                      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

 

(a)                                 Tenant shall not submit requisitions, nor shall Landlord have any

obligation to advance funds on account of the Additional Construction Allowance, more often than once per month.

 

(b)                                 If Tenant fails to pay the amounts paid by Landlord to Tenant in the prior month’s requisition to Tenant’s contractors, vendors, service providers and consultants, Landlord shall thereafter have the right to have the Additional Construction Allowance paid directly to Tenant’s contractors, vendors, service providers and consultants.

 

(c)                                  Landlord shall have no obligation to pay any portion of the Construction Allowance with respect to any requisition submitted after the date which is three (360) days following the 18,655 Premises Delivery Date (theOutside Requisition Date”); provided, however, that if Tenant certifies to Landlord that it is engaged in a good faith dispute with a contractor, vendor, service provider or consultant, such Outside Requisition Date shall be extended while such dispute is ongoing, so long as Tenant is diligently pursuing the resolution of such dispute.  Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the Additional Construction Allowance except to the extent that it has submitted requisitions, and/or made demand therefor, on or before the Outside Requisition Date.

 

(d)                                 In addition to all other requirements hereof, Landlord’s obligation to pay the final requisition of the Additional Construction Allowance shall be subject to simultaneous delivery of all Lien Waivers in connection with the 18,655 Premises Work.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENTS

 

This First Amendment to Agreements (the First Amendment) is made effective as of the date of the last signature below (the First Amendment Effective Date) by and between ImmunoGen, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (ImmunoGen), with its principal place of business being 830 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451, USA, and Eli Lilly and Company, an Indiana corporation (Lilly), with its principal place of business at Lilly Corporate Center, Indianapolis, Indiana 46285.  ImmunoGen and Lilly are sometimes hereinafter referred to individually as a Party and collectively as the Parties.”

 

WHEREAS, ImmunoGen and Lilly are parties to that certain Multi-Target Agreement made effective as of December 19, 2011 (the Multi-Target Agreement) and that certain License Agreement made effective as of August 26, 2013 (the 8/26/2013 License Agreement); and

 

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the Multi-Target Agreement and the 8/26/2013 License Agreement in the manner set forth in this First Amendment; and

 

WHEREAS, the capitalized terms used in this First Amendment and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Multi-Target Agreement and the 8/26/2013 License Agreement, as applicable;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and mutual covenants herein contained, the Parties agree and covenant as follows.

 

Multi-Target Agreement

 

I.                                        Section 3.3 of the Multi-Target Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

3.3                                Number of Exclusive Licenses; Upfront Fees.  Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Lilly may take Exclusive Licenses to up to a total of three (3) Reserve Option Targets during the Term.  Except as set forth below, each Exclusive License shall provide for an upfront fee, payable by Lilly to ImmunoGen within [***] days following the Effective Date of such Exclusive License.  From and after the First Amendment Effective Date, (a) no upfront fee is due for one (1) of the two (2) remaining Exclusive Licenses available hereunder (the No

Upfront Fee License), and (b) the upfront fee for the other of the two (2) remaining Exclusive Licenses available hereunder shall be Two Million United States Dollars ($2,000,000).  Lilly shall have the right to designate in its sole discretion which Exclusive License taken after the First Amendment Effective Date shall be the No Upfront Fee License.  For purposes of clarity, Lilly’s designation of the first Exclusive License taken after the First Amendment Effective Date as the No Upfront Fee License shall not create any obligation on the part of Lilly to take the remaining Exclusive License hereunder.  Subject to Section 3.4 hereof, if an Exclusive License is terminated at any time for any reason, such terminated Exclusive License shall nevertheless continue to be counted against the aggregate number of Exclusive Licenses available to Lilly under this Section 3.3.

 

II.                                   Section 5.1 of the Multi-Target Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new paragraph at the end thereof:

 

In connection with Lilly’s exercise of its right to extend the term of this Agreement beyond the Initial Term or the First Extended Term in accordance with Sections 8.1(b) and 8.1(c) hereof, Lilly agrees in each case to pay ImmunoGen a Term extension fee (the Extension Fee) in the amount of [***] ($[***]) payable in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof at any time prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the First Extended Term, as the case may be, which Extension Fees shall be non-refundable and non-creditable.

 

III.                              Section 8.1 of the Multi-Target Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

8.1                                Term.

 

(a)                                 Initial Term.  The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date, subject to earlier termination in accordance with Section 8.2 hereof (the Initial Term).

 

(b)                                 First Extended Term.  If this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with Section 8.2 hereof (other than termination by Lilly in accordance with Section 8.2(b) hereof) on or before the expiration of the Initial Term,

then Lilly may extend the term of this Agreement from the end of the Initial Term until June 19, 2015, subject to earlier termination in accordance with Section 8.2 hereof (the First Extended Term), by providing written notice and by paying the Extension Fee in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof at any time prior to the expiration of the Initial Term.

 

(c)                                  Second Extended Term.  If this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with Section 8.2 hereof (other than termination by Lilly in accordance with Section 8.2(b) hereof) on or before the expiration of the First Extended Term, then Lilly may extend the term of this Agreement from the end of the First Extended Term until December 19, 2015, subject to earlier termination in accordance with Section 8.2 hereof (the Second Extended Term), by providing written notice and by paying another Extension Fee in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof at any time prior to the expiration of the First Extended Term.  The Initial Term, together with the First Extended Term and the Second Extended Term, if applicable, shall be referred to herein collectively as the Term.”  The foregoing notwithstanding, the Term shall automatically expire once Lilly has taken the maximum number of Exclusive Licenses available to Lilly pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof.

 

IV.                               Footnotes 2, 3 and 4 to the form of License Agreement attached to the Multi-Target Agreement as Schedule A are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:

 

(2)         Insert Zero U.S. Dollars ($0.00) in the No Upfront Fee License taken under the Multi-Target Agreement after the First Amendment Effective Date.  Insert Two Million U.S. Dollars ($2,000,000) in any other Exclusive License taken under the Multi-Target Date after the First Amendment Effective Date.

 

(3)         Insert $[***] in the No Upfront Fee License taken under the Multi-Target Agreement after the First Amendment Effective Date.  Insert $[***] in any other Exclusive License taken under the Multi-Target Agreement after the First Amendment Effective Date.

Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board and committee meetings during their tenure as a Director.  Any reimbursement in one calendar year shall not affect the amount that may be reimbursed in any other calendar year and a reimbursement (or right thereto) may not be exchanged or liquidated for another benefit or payment.  Any business expense reimbursements subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such business expense is incurred by the Director.

 

Quarterly payments shall be paid in arrears within 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter.(2)  A non-employee Director may elect to receive any or all of his or her cash compensation in the form of deferred stock units (“DSUs”) having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the amount deferred, measured on the date of grant which shall be the last day of the calendar quarter for which the retainer is being paid.  All elections as to form of payment shall be made annually by December 31st of the year prior to service which election shall be effective for all payments to be made in the following calendar year.  New non-employee Directors shall make their elections within 30 days of their initial appointment or election to the Board of Directors for all payments to be made in that calendar year.  Any such election shall be prospective only for compensation attributable to services performed after the effective date of

Mr. David B. Johnston

57 Pilgrim Road

Marblehead, MA 01945

 

Dear David:

 

I am delighted to offer you the full-time position of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at ImmunoGen, Inc. (“ImmunoGen” or the “Company”).  Upon commencement of your employment, which shall be no later than December 31, 2013, you will initially be paid at a bi-weekly rate of $13,461.54, which annualized equals $350,000.00 per year, less applicable federal, state and/or local payroll and withholding taxes.  In addition to your annual salary, subject to the terms of this letter, ImmunoGen will pay you a sign-on bonus in the amount of $70,000 (the “Sign-On Bonus”), which will be paid to you in conjunction with your first salary payment following your date of hire.

 

In addition, you will be eligible for a discretionary annual bonus of up to forty percent (40%) of your annual salary.  Your bonus for this fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 will be prorated from the date of hire.  Each year following, bonuses are at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and are based on Company and individual performance.

 

Also in consideration of your employment by the Company, I will recommend to the Compensation Committee, for their approval, the grant of a stock option award covering 150,000 shares of our common stock under the Company’s 2006 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”).  This award will vest at a rate of one-quarter of the shares covered by the award per year over four years beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant, which will be your first date of employment with ImmunoGen.  The per share exercise price for the option award will be the closing sale price of our shares as reported on NASDAQ on the date of grant.

 

In addition, you can expect to receive, subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee, and in conjunction with the Company’s annual equity awards to employees generally in July or August 2014, the grant of a stock option award under the 2006 Plan in the range of 90,000 to 110,000 shares.  This award will vest at a rate of one-third of the shares covered by the award per year over three years beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and the per share exercise price of this option award will be the closing sale price of our shares as reported on NASDAQ on the date of grant.  In subsequent years you can expect to receive, subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee, annual equity awards similar to those granted to other senior executives of comparable status.

 

As a member of the executive management, you will be eligible for a severance arrangement that, under certain circumstances, will provide you with certain benefits in the event of a change of control of the Company, as set forth in the form of Change in Control Severance Agreement (the “Change in Control Severance Agreement”) accompanying this letter.

 



 

You will also be entitled to participate in the Company’s benefit plans to the same extent as, and subject to the same terms, conditions and limitations as are generally applicable to, full-time employees of ImmunoGen of similar rank and tenure.  These benefits currently include at this time paid vacation time, life, health, dental and disability insurance.  With respect to your annual vacation allotment, however, you will immediately be eligible to accrue, monthly, up to four (4) weeks of paid vacation per year, of which 10 days can be rolled over from year to year.  For a more detailed understanding of the benefits and the eligibility requirements, please consult the summary plan descriptions for the applicable programs, which will be made available to you upon request.  Please note that your compensation and or benefits may be modified in any way, at any time, by ImmunoGen at its sole discretion, with or without prior notice, to the extent any such modification affects similarly situated ImmunoGen executives in the same manner.

 

Your duties as an employee of the Company shall be as determined by me in consultation with you.  You agree to devote your best efforts during all business time to the performance of such responsibilities and you will not perform any professional work outside your work for the Company without pre-approval from the Company.

 

ImmunoGen is required by the Immigration and Naturalization Service to verify that each employee is eligible to work in the United States.  To that end, a list of acceptable forms of identification is attached.  Please bring with you one item on List A, or a combination of one item on List B and List C.

 

In addition, your offer of employment is contingent upon the successful completion of a general background and reference check and drug test.  As such, please complete the enclosed authorizations and other required forms.

 

While we anticipate that our relationship will be a long and mutually rewarding one, your employment, of course, will be at will, terminable by either you or the Company at any time.  In this regard, you will be eligible for a severance arrangement that, under certain circumstances, will provide you with certain benefits if your employment is terminated by the Company without cause in circumstances where your Change in Control Severance Agreement would not apply, as set forth in the form of Employment Agreement accompanying this letter.

 

If, within 12 months of your date of hire, you terminate your employment with the Company (other than by reason of death or disability), or your employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (as such term is defined in your Employment Agreement), you will promptly reimburse ImmunoGen for a portion of your Sign-On Bonus equal to the product of (a) $70,000, multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is 365 minus the number of days from date you start employment with ImmunoGen to the effective date of termination of your employment, and the denominator of which is 365.

 

On your first day of employment, you will be required to sign our Proprietary Information, Inventions and Competition Agreement and the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, acknowledging that you understand and agree to be bound by these agreements.  Copies of each accompany this letter.

You are also asked to acknowledge and agree that your employment by the Company will not violate any agreement which you may have with any third party.  Please acknowledge your understanding and agreement with the terms of your employment as set forth in this letter by signing below.

 

I look forward to a long and productive relationship with you.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

Exhibit 10.5

 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of December 30, 2013 (the Effective Date), is made by and between ImmunoGen, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”), and David B. Johnston (“Executive”).  This Agreement is intended to confirm the understanding and set forth the agreement between the Company and Executive with respect to Executive’s employment by the Company.  In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Employment.

 

(a)                                 Title and Duties.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will employ Executive, and Executive will be employed by the Company, as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer.  Executive will have the responsibilities, duties and authority commensurate with said position.  Executive will also perform such other services of an executive nature for the Company as may be reasonably assigned to Executive from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).

 

(b)                                 Devotion to Duties.  For so long as Executive is employed hereunder, Executive will devote substantially all of Executive’s business time and energies to the business and affairs of the Company; provided that nothing contained in this Section 1(b) will be deemed to prevent or limit Executive’s right to manage Executive’s personal investments on Executive’s own personal time, including, without limitation, the right to make passive investments in the securities of (i) any entity which Executive does not control, directly or indirectly, and which does not compete with the Company, or (ii) any publicly held entity (other than the Company or its related entities) so long as Executive’s aggregate direct and indirect interest does not exceed three percent (3%) of the issued and outstanding securities of any class of securities of such publicly held entity.  Except as set forth on Exhibit A hereto, Executive represents that Executive is not currently a director (or similar position) of any other entity and is not employed by or providing consulting services to any other person or entity, and Executive agrees to refrain from undertaking any such position or engagement without the prior approval of the Board.  Executive may continue to serve as a director and/or volunteer for the entities listed on Exhibit A provided that such service does not create any conflicts, ethical or otherwise, with Executive’s responsibilities to the Company and further provided that Executive’s time commitments do not unreasonably interfere with his fulfillment of his responsibilities hereunder, as determined by the Board or its designated committee thereof.

 

2.                                      Term of Agreement; Termination of Employment.

 

(a)                                 Term of Agreement.  The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect for two (2) years; provided, however, that commencing on the second anniversary of the Effective Date and continuing each anniversary thereafter, the Term shall automatically be extended for one (1) additional year

 



 

unless, not later than nine (9) months before the conclusion of the Term, the Company or the Executive shall have given notice not to extend the Term.  Such notice or such termination of this Agreement shall not on its own have the effect of terminating Executive’s employment, nor shall it constitute Cause (as defined below).  The duration of this Agreement is hereafter referred to as the “Term.”

 

(b)                                 Termination of Employment.  The Executive is employed on an at-will basis and, subject to the provisions of Section 4, either the Executive or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time for any reason.  Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, Executive’s employment during the Term will terminate upon the earliest to occur of the following:

 

(i)                                     Death.  Immediately upon Executive’s death;

 

(ii)                                  Termination by the Company.

 

(A)                               If because of Disability (as defined below), then upon written notice by the Company to Executive that Executive’s employment is being terminated as a result of Executive’s Disability, which termination shall be effective on the date of such notice;

 

(B)                               If for Cause, then upon written notice by the Company to Executive that states that Executive’s employment is being terminated for Cause (as defined below) and sets forth the specific alleged Cause for termination and the factual basis supporting the alleged Cause, which termination shall be effective on the date of such notice or such later date as specified in writing by the Company; or

 

(C)                               If without Cause (i.e., for reasons other than Sections 2(b)(ii)(A) or (B)), then upon written notice by the Company to Executive that Executive’s employment is being terminated without Cause, which termination shall be effective on the date of such notice or such later date as specified in writing by the Company; or

 

(iii)                               Termination by Executive.  Upon written notice by Executive to the Company that Executive is terminating Executive’s employment, which termination shall be effective at Executive’s election, not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days after the date of such notice; provided that the Executive may request at such time to leave with a shorter notice period, and the Company shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such shorter period; and further provided that the Company may choose to accept Executive’s resignation effective as of an earlier date.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2(b), the Company may at any point terminate Executive’s employment for Cause prior to the effective date of any other termination contemplated hereunder if such Cause exists.

 



 

(c)                                  Definition of “Disability”.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean that Executive (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under a Company-sponsored group disability plan.  Whether the Executive has a Disability will be determined by a majority of the Board based on evidence provided by one or more physicians selected by the Board and approved by Executive, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In any case, if a disability is determined to trigger the payment of any “deferred compensation,” as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), disability shall be determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

 

(d)                                 Definition of “Cause”.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean that the Executive has (i) willfully committed an act or omission that materially harms the Company; (ii) been grossly negligent in the performance of the Executive’s duties to the Company; (iii) willfully failed or refused to follow the lawful and proper directives of the CEO or the Board; (iv) been convicted of, or pleaded guilty or nolo contendere, to a felony; (v) committed an act involving moral turpitude that is or is reasonably expected to be injurious to the Company or its reputation; (vi) committed an act relating to the Executive’s employment or the Company involving, in the good faith judgment of the Board, material fraud or theft; (vii) breached any material provision of this Agreement or any nondisclosure or non-competition agreement (including the Proprietary Information, Inventions, and Competition Agreement attached here as Exhibit B), between the Executive and the Company, as all of the foregoing may be amended prospectively from time to time; or (viii) breached a material provision of any code of conduct or ethics policy in effect at the Company, as all of the foregoing may be amended prospectively from time to time (each of the foregoing hereinafter referred to as a “Violation”); provided, however, that if a Violation described in clauses (ii), (vii) or (viii) is susceptible of cure, the Executive will be afforded a reasonable period (not to exceed twenty (20) business days) after receiving the initial written notice from the Company of such Violation to substantially cure such Violation prior to the Company taking any action to terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause.

 

3.                                      Compensation.

 

(a)                                 Base Salary.  While Executive is employed hereunder, the Company will pay Executive a base salary at the gross annualized rate of $350,000 (the “Base Salary”), paid in accordance with the Company’s usual payroll practices.  The Base Salary will be subject to review annually or on such periodic basis (not to exceed annually) as the Company reviews the compensation of the Company’s other senior executives and may be adjusted upwards or downwards in the sole discretion of the Board or its designee, provided that any downward adjustment shall occur only in connection with similar downward adjustments for all similarly situated executives of the Company.  The Company will deduct from each such installment any amounts required to be deducted or

 



 

withheld under applicable law or under any employee benefit plan in which Executive participates.

 

(b)                                 Annual Bonus.  Executive may be eligible to earn an Annual Bonus relating to each fiscal year, based in part on the achievement of written corporate goals established on an annual basis by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors within ninety (90) days of the beginning of the fiscal year, and in part on the achievement of written individual goals established on an annual basis by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Compensation Committee.  If the applicable goals are met, and the Executive is employed by the Company at the end of the year to which the Annual Bonus relates, and is not terminated for Cause prior to the payment of the Annual Bonus, then the Executive shall be entitled to an Annual Bonus for that year equal to forty percent (40%) of his then-current Base Salary (the “Target Annual Bonus”), provided that the Executive’s Annual Bonus for the first fiscal year of the Executive’s employment will be prorated from the Effective Date.  Any awarded Annual Bonus shall be paid within two and one-half (2½) months of the year to which it relates.

 

(c)                                  Fringe Benefits.  In addition to any benefits provided by this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to participate generally in all employee benefit, welfare and other plans, practices, policies and programs and fringe benefits maintained by the Company from time to time on a basis no less favorable than those provided to other similarly situated executives of the Company.  Executive understands that, except when prohibited by applicable law, the Company’s benefit plans and fringe benefits may be amended, enlarged, diminished or terminated prospectively by the Company from time to time, in its sole discretion, and that such shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Vacation.  Executive will be entitled to accrue paid vacation days in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Company’s vacation policy applicable to other executive officers of the Company, as it may be amended prospectively from time to time.

 

(e)                                  Reimbursement of Expenses.  The Company will promptly reimburse Executive for all ordinary and reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses that are incurred by Executive in furtherance of the Company’s business in accordance with the Company’s policies with respect thereto as in effect from time to time.  If an expense reimbursement is not exempt from Section 409A of the Code (“Code Section 409A”), the following rules apply: (i) in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred; (ii) the amount of reimbursable expenses incurred in one tax year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other tax year; and (iii) the right to reimbursement for expenses is not subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

 

4.                                      Compensation Upon Termination.

 

(a)                                 Definition of Accrued Obligations.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Accrued Obligations” means (i) the portion of Executive’s Base Salary that has accrued

 



 

prior to any termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and has not yet been paid; (ii) to the extent required by law and the Company’s policy, an amount equal to the value of Executive’s accrued but unused vacation days; (iii) the amount of any expenses properly incurred by Executive on behalf of the Company prior to any such termination and not yet reimbursed; and (iv) the Annual Bonus related to the most recently completed fiscal year, if not already paid and if the termination is not for Cause (the amount of which shall be determined in accordance with Section 3(b) above)Executive’s entitlement to any other compensation or benefit under any plan or policy of the Company, including but not limited to applicable option plans, shall be governed by and determined in accordance with the terms of such plans or policies, except as otherwise specified in this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Termination for Cause, By the Executive, or as a Result of Executive’s Disability or Death.  If Executive’s employment is terminated during the Term either by the Company for Cause or by Executive, or if Executive’s employment terminates as a result of the Executive’s death or Disability, the Company will pay the Accrued Obligations to Executive promptly following the effective date of such termination.

 

(c)                                  Termination by the Company without Cause.  If Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Company without Cause during the Term, then:

 

(i)                                     The Company will pay the Accrued Obligations to Executive promptly following the effective date of such termination; and

 

(ii)                                  The Company will pay Executive a total amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executive’s then current Base Salary, less applicable taxes and deductions; to be made in approximately equal biweekly installments in accordance with the Company’s usual payroll practices over a period of twelve (12) months beginning on the sixtieth (60th) day following the termination of the Executive’s employment, provided that Release described in Section 4(d) is effective and irrevocable prior to such date.

 

(d)                                 Release of Claims.  The Company shall not be obligated to pay Executive and Executive shall not be eligible to receive any of the compensation set forth in Section 4(c)(ii) unless the Executive executes, delivers, and does not revoke a release of claims in favor of the Company in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Release”) prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following the termination of the Executive’s employment.

 

(e)                                  No Duplication of Compensation.  In the event that the Executive is entitled to receive the severance compensation under the terms of the Change in Control Severance Agreement between the Company and the Executive (the “CIC Agreement”), or any other agreement between the Company and the Executive providing for the payment of severance compensation in connection with a termination of the Executive’s employment following a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the CIC Agreement), such severance compensation will be in lieu of any benefits or compensation payable to the Executive under this Agreement in connection with a termination of the Executive’s

 



 

employment and the Executive shall not be entitled to receive any of the payments or benefits under Section 4(c)(ii) of this Agreement.

 

(f)                                   If any of the benefits set forth in Section 4 are deferred compensation as defined in Code Section 409A, any termination of employment triggering payment of such benefits must constitute a “separation from service” under Code Section 409A before, subject to subsection (g) below, a distribution of such benefits can commence.  For purposes of clarification, this paragraph shall not cause any forfeiture of benefits on the part of the Executive, but shall only act as a delay until such time as a “separation from service” occurs.

 

(g)                                  Notwithstanding any other provision with respect to the timing of payments under Section 4, if, at the time of Executive’s termination, Executive is deemed to be a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A, and any successor statute, regulation and guidance thereto) of the Company, then solely to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, any payments to which Executive may become entitled under Section 4 which are subject to Code Section 409A (and not otherwise exempt from its application) will be withheld until the first (1st) business day of the seventh (7th) month following the termination of Executive’s employment, at which time Executive shall be paid an aggregate amount equal to the accumulated, but unpaid, payments otherwise due to Executive under the terms of Section 4.

 

(h)                                 For purposes of this Agreement and Code Section 409A, each payment or benefit provided herein shall be deemed to be a separately identifiable payment, and each payment to be made in installments shall be deemed to be a series of separate payments.

 

5.                                      Competition.  The parties acknowledge that Executive and the Company have entered into the Proprietary Information, Inventions, and Competition Agreement (the “Proprietary Information Agreement”) attached hereto as Exhibit B.  The parties agree that the obligations set forth in the Proprietary Information Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement and termination of the Executive’s employment, regardless of the reason for such termination.

 

6.                                      Property and Records.  Upon termination of Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason or for no reason, Executive will deliver to the Company any property of the Company which may be in Executive’s possession, including blackberry-type devices, laptops, cell phones, products, materials, memoranda, notes, records, reports or other documents or photocopies of the same.

 

7.                                      General.

 

(a)                                 Notices.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered as follows with notice deemed given as indicated: (i) by personal delivery when delivered personally; (ii) by overnight courier upon written verification of receipt; (iii) by telecopy or facsimile transmission upon acknowledgment of receipt of electronic transmission; or (iv)

(b)                                 Entire Agreement/Modification.  This Agreement, together with the Proprietary Information Agreement attached hereto, the Company’s offer letter to you dated November    , 2013 and the other agreements specifically referred to herein, embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.  No statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of any kind not expressly set forth in this Agreement (or in a subsequent written modification or amendment executed by the parties hereto) will affect, or be used to interpret, change or restrict, the express terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Waivers and Consents.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom granted, only by written document executed by the party entitled to the benefits of such terms or provisions. No such waiver or consent will be deemed to be or will constitute a waiver or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, whether or not similar.  Each such waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was given, and will not constitute a continuing waiver or consent.

 

(d)                                 Assignment and Binding Effect.  The Company may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any person or entity that succeeds to all or substantially all of the Company’s business or that aspect of the Company’s business in which Executive is principally involved.  Executive may not assign Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company.  This Agreement shall be binding upon Executive, Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators and the Company, and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Executive, Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators and the Company, and its successors and assigns.

 

(e)                                  Governing Law.  This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to conflict of law principles.

 

(f)                                   Severability.  The parties intend this Agreement to be enforced as written. However, should any provisions of this Agreement be held by a court of law to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

 

(g)                                  Headings and Captions.  The headings and captions of the various subdivisions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and will in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions hereof.

 



 

8.                                      Taxation.

 

(a)                                 The parties intend that the terms in this Agreement to be in compliance with or otherwise exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A and related regulations and Treasury pronouncements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of any ambiguity in the terms of this Agreement, such term(s) shall be interpreted and at all times administered in a manner that avoids the inclusion of compensation in income under Code Section 409A.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that Company does not guarantee the tax treatment or tax consequences associated with any payment or benefit arising under this Agreement, including but not limited to consequences related to Code Section 409A.

 

(b)                                 If any payment or benefit the Executive would receive under this Agreement, when combined with any other payment or benefit the Executive receives pursuant to a Change in Control (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be either (x) the full amount of such Payment or (y) such less amount as would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state, and local employments taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax results in the Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment, notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax.  The Company shall, in a manner compliant with Code Section 409A, determine in good faith which payment(s) or benefit(s) to reduce based on what provides the best economic result for Executive.  The Company shall provide Executive with sufficient information to support its determination and allow the Executive to file and pay any required taxes.

 

9.                                      Attorneys’ Fees.  The Company shall pay to the Executive all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive in disputing in good faith any issue hereunder relating to the termination of the Executive’s employment, in seeking in good faith to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement.  Such payments shall be made within five (5) business days after delivery of the Executive’s written requests for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company reasonably may require.

 

10.                               Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.  For all purposes a signature by fax shall be treated as an original.

CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

 

This Agreement is entered into as of the 30th day of December, 2013 (the “Effective Date”) by and between ImmunoGen, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”), and David B. Johnston (the “Executive”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that the Executive’s service to the Company is very important to the future success of the Company;

 

WHEREAS, the Executive desires to enter into this Agreement to provide the Executive with certain financial protection in the event that his employment terminates under certain conditions following a change in control of the Company; and

 

WHEREAS the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to enter into this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Definitions.

 

(a)                                 Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean that the Executive has (i) willfully committed an act or omission that materially harms the Company; (ii) been grossly negligent in the performance of the Executive’s duties to the Company; (iii) willfully failed or refused to follow the lawful and proper directives of the Board; (iv) been convicted of, or pleaded guilty or nolo contendere, to a felony; (v) committed an act involving moral turpitude that is or is reasonably expected to be injurious to the Company or its reputation; (vi) committed an act relating to the Executive’s employment or the Company involving, in the good faith judgment of the Board, material fraud or theft; (vii) breached any material provision of this Agreement or any nondisclosure or non-competition agreement between the Executive and the Company, as all of the foregoing may be amended prospectively from time to time; or (viii) breached a material provision of any code of conduct or ethics policy in effect at the Company, as all of the foregoing may be amended prospectively from time to time.

 

(b)                                 Change in Control.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events; provided that “Change in Control” shall be interpreted in a manner, and limited to the extent necessary, so that it will not cause adverse tax consequences for either party with respect to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and Treasury Regulations 1.409A-3(i)(5), and any successor statute, regulation and guidance thereto:

 

(i)                                     Ownership.  Any “Person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes the “Beneficial Owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities (excluding for this purpose any such voting securities held by the Company or its Affiliates (as defined in the Company’s 2006 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan) or by any employee benefit

 



 

plan of the Company) pursuant to a transaction or a series of related transactions which the Board does not approve; or

 

(ii)                                  Merger/Sale of Assets.  (A) A merger or consolidation of the Company whether or not approved by the Board, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or the parent of such corporation) at least 50% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or parent of such corporation, as the case may be, outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or (B) the stockholders of the Company approve an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or

 

(iii)                               Change in Board Composition.  A change in the composition of the Board, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors.  “Incumbent Directors” shall mean directors who either (A) are directors of the Company as of November 11, 2006, or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination (but shall not include an individual whose election or nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors to the Company).

 

(c)                                  Disability.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean that the Executive (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under a Company-sponsored group disability plan.  Whether the Executive has a Disability will be determined by a majority of the Board based on evidence provided by one or more physicians selected by the Board and approved by the Executive, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In any case, if a disability is determined to trigger the payment of any “deferred compensation” as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), disability shall be determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

 

(d)                                 Good Reason.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following without the Executive’s consent: (i) a change in the principal location at which the Executive performs his duties for the Company to a new location that is at least forty (40) miles from the prior location; (ii) a material change in the Executive’s authority, functions, duties or responsibilities as an executive of the Company, which would cause his position with the Company to become of less responsibility, importance or scope than his highest position with the Company at any time from the date of this Agreement to immediately prior to the Change in Control, provided, however, that such material change is not in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company for Cause or death or Disability and further provided that it shall not be considered a material change if the

 

2



 

Company becomes a subsidiary of another entity and the Executive continues to hold a position in the subsidiary that is at least as high (in both title and scope of responsibilities) as the highest position he held with the Company at any time from the date of this Agreement to immediately prior to the Change in Control; (iii) a material reduction in the Executive’s annual base salary or (iv) a material reduction in the Executive’s target annual bonus as compared to the target annual bonus set for the previous fiscal year.

 

2.                                      Term of Agreement.  The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect for two (2) years; provided, however, that commencing on second anniversary of the Effective Date and continuing each anniversary thereafter, the Term shall automatically be extended for one (1) additional year unless, not later than nine (9) months before the conclusion of the Term, the Company or the Executive shall have given notice not to extend the Term; and further provided, however, that if a Change in Control shall have occurred during the Term, the Term shall expire on the last day of the twelfth (12th) month following the month in which such Change in Control occurred.  Notice of termination or termination of this Agreement shall not constitute Cause or Good Reason (both terms as defined above).

 

3.                                      Termination; Notice; Severance Compensation.

 

(a)                                 In the event that within a period of two (2) months before or twelve (12) months following the consummation of a Change in Control the Company elects to terminate the Executive’s employment other than for Cause (but not including termination due to the Executive’s Disability), then the Company shall give the Executive no less than sixty (60) days advance notice of such termination (the “Company’s Notice Period”); provided that the Company may elect to require the Executive to cease performing work for the Company so long as the Company continues the Executive’s full salary and benefits during the Company’s Notice Period.

 

(b)                                 In the event that within a period of two (2) months before or twelve (12) months following the consummation of a Change in Control the Executive elects to terminate his employment for Good Reason, then the Executive shall give the Company no less than thirty (30) days and no more than sixty (60) days advance notice of such termination (the “Executive’s Notice Period”); provided that the Company may elect to require the Executive to cease performing work for the Company so long as the Company continues the Executive’s full salary and benefits during the Executive’s Notice Period.  In order to effect a termination for Good Reason pursuant to this Agreement, the Executive must notice his intent to terminate for Good Reason not later than ninety (90) days following the occurrence of the Good Reason.

 

(c)                                  In the event that within a period of two (2) months before or twelve (12) months following the consummation of a Change in Control the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (but not including termination due to the Executive’s death or Disability), or by the Executive for Good Reason, then, contingent upon the Executive’s execution of a release of claims against the Company in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”) the Executive shall be entitled to, in addition to any amounts due to the Executive for services rendered prior to the termination date:

 

3



 

(i)  a lump sum payment from the Company in an amount equal to one and one-half (1.5) times the sum of the Executive’s Annual Salary and the Executive’s target annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs (without giving effect to any event or circumstance constituting Good Reason) at one hundred percent (100%) of such target annual bonus, which shall be paid on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Executive’s termination of employment, provided that the Release is executed and effective by then or the Executive shall forfeit the payment of such amount;

 

(ii)  all outstanding options, restricted stock and other similar rights held by the Executive, which shall become one hundred percent (100%) vested; and

 

(iii)  continuation of medical insurance coverage for the Executive and the Executive’s family subject to and in accordance with Section 4980B of the Code (“COBRA”), and subject to the Executive’s payment of the applicable COBRA coverage premium (“COBRA Coverage Premium”) during the applicable COBRA coverage period (“COBRA Period”); and

 

(iv)  payment to the Executive of a taxable amount on a monthly basis equal to the COBRA Premium for eighteen (18) months from the Separation Date; provided that the Company shall have no obligation to provide such benefit if the Executive fails to elect COBRA benefits in a timely fashion or if the Executive becomes eligible for medical coverage with another employer; and provided that if the COBRA Period is otherwise (i.e., for reasons not described in the immediately preceding proviso) earlier terminated under applicable law during the period that the Executive would otherwise be entitled to receive the benefit under this subsection (v), the Company will continue to pay to the Executive the same taxable amount it paid on a monthly basis during the COBRA Period each month for the remainder of the relevant period.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Annual Salary” shall mean the Executive’s annual base salary then in effect or, if higher, in effect at the time of the Change in Control, excluding reimbursements and amounts attributable to stock options and other non-cash compensation; and the “Severance Compensation” shall mean the compensation set forth in (i), (ii), and (iv) above.

 

(d)                                 If any of the benefits set forth in this Agreement are deferred compensation as defined in Section 409A of the Code, any termination of employment triggering payment of such benefits must constitute a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code before, subject to subsection (e) below, a distribution of such benefits can commence.  For purposes of clarification, this paragraph shall not cause any forfeiture of benefits on the part of the Executive, but shall only act as a delay until such time as a “separation from service” occurs. In addition, the Company Notice Period and the Executive Notice Period shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the “separation from service” rules thereunder.  In particular, if a waiver of the Company Notice Period or the Executive Notice Period triggers a “separation from service,” such waiver shall constitute a termination and any amounts due to the Executive over the remaining portion of the applicable notice period shall be deemed additional

 

4



 

severance under Section 3(c)(ii) of this Agreement and paid accordingly.  In addition, any applicable notice or release periods and dates of payment shall be adjusted accordingly.

 

(e)                                  Notwithstanding any other provision with respect to the timing of payments, if, at the time of the Executive’s termination, the Executive is deemed to be a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A, and any successor statute, regulation and guidance thereto) of the Company, then solely to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, any payments to which the Executive may become entitled under this Agreement which are subject to Code Section 409A (and not otherwise exempt from its application) will be withheld until the first (1st) business day of the seventh (7th) month following the termination of the Executive’s employment, at which time the Executive shall be paid an aggregate amount equal to the accumulated, but unpaid, payments otherwise due to the Executive under the terms of this Agreement.

 

(f)                                   If any payment or benefit the Executive would receive under this Agreement, when combined with any other payment or benefit the Executive receives pursuant to a Change in Control (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be either (x) the full amount of such Payment or (y) such less amount as would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state, and local employments taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax results in the Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment, notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax.  The Company shall, in a manner compliant with Code Section 409A, determine in good faith which payment(s) or benefit(s) to reduce based on what provides the best economic result for the Executive.  The Company shall provide the Executive with sufficient information to support its determination and to allow the Executive to file and pay any required taxes.

 

4.                                      No Duplication of Compensation.  The Severance Compensation shall replace, and be provided in lieu of, any severance or similar compensation that may be provided to the Executive under any other agreement or arrangement in relation to termination of employment; provided, however, that this prohibition against duplication shall not be construed to otherwise limit the Executive’s rights to payments or benefits provided under any pension plan (as defined in Section 3(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended), deferred compensation, stock, stock option or similar plan sponsored by the Company.  This Agreement supersedes any other agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof which may have been made by either party.

 

5.                                      No Mitigation.  If the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates following a Change in Control, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to Section 3 or Section 15.  Except as set forth in Section 4, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

 

5



 

6.                                      Confidentiality, Non-Competition, and Assignment of Inventions.  The Company’s obligations under this Agreement are contingent upon the Executive’s execution of the Company’s Proprietary Information, Inventions, and Competition Agreement (the “Proprietary Information Agreement”).  The parties agree that the obligations set forth in the Proprietary Information Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement and termination of the Executive’s employment, regardless of the reason for such termination.

 

7.                                      Enforceability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable as written, this Agreement shall be construed, to the greatest extent possible, or modified, to the extent allowable by law, in a manner which shall render it valid and enforceable.  No invalidity or unenforceability of any provision contained herein shall affect any other portion of this Agreement.

10.                               Modifications and Amendments.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be modified or amended only by written agreement executed by the Company and the Executive.  The Company and the Executive agree that they will jointly execute an amendment to modify this Agreement to the extent necessary to comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, or any successor statute, regulation and guidance thereto; provided that no such amendment shall increase the total financial obligation of the Company under this Agreement.

 

11.                               Waivers and Consents.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom granted, only by a written document executed by the party entitled to the benefits of such terms or provisions.  No such waiver or consent shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, whether or not similar.  Each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the

 

6



 

specific instance and for the purpose for which it was given, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver or consent.

 

12.                               Binding Effect; Assignment.  The Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of (a) the heirs, executors and legal representatives of the Executive upon the Executive’s death and (b) any successor of the Company.  Any such successor of the Company will be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of the Agreement for all purposes.  For this purpose, “successor” means any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company.  None of the rights of the Executive to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to the Agreement may be assigned or transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Any other attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of the Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits will be null and void.

 

13.                               Governing Law.  This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

 

14.                               Jurisdiction and Service of Process.  Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement shall be brought in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or of the United States of America for the District of Massachusetts.  By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts.

 

15.                               Attorneys’ Fees.  The Company shall pay to the Executive all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive in disputing in good faith any issue hereunder relating to the termination of the Executive’s employment, in seeking in good faith to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement.  Such payments shall be made within five (5) business days after delivery of the Executive’s written requests for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company reasonably may require.

 

16.                               Withholding.  The Company is authorized to withhold, or to cause to be withheld, from any payment or benefit under the Agreement the full amount of any applicable withholding taxes.

 

17.                               Tax Consequences.  The Company does not guarantee the tax treatment or tax consequences associated with any payment or benefit arising under this Agreement.

 

18.                               Acknowledgment.  The Executive acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to discuss this matter with and obtain advice from his private attorney, has had sufficient time to, and has carefully read and fully understands all the provisions of the Agreement, and is knowingly and voluntarily entering into the Agreement.

 

19.                               Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

20.                               Section 409A.  The parties hereto intend that the payments and benefits provided by this Agreement shall comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A and related regulations and Treasury pronouncements, and this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly.  Each separately identified payment or benefit hereunder shall be deemed to be a separately determinable payment for purposes of Code Section 409A, and each payment to be made in installments shall be deemed a series of separate payments.  If any provision provided herein could result in the imposition of an additional tax under the provisions of Code Section 409A, the Executive and the Company agree that such provision will be reformed to avoid imposition of any such additional tax in the manner that the Executive and the Company mutually agree is appropriate to comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A.

 

21.                               Reimbursements.  To the extent there are any reimbursements of expenses under this Agreement including, without limitation, under Section 15 hereof, payments with respect to such reimbursements shall be made no later than on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the relevant expense is incurred.  The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year and any such reimbursements may not be exchanged or liquidated for any other benefit or payment.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed and delivered this Change in Control Severance Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
