ANI Pharmaceuticals ANIP Royalty percentage

On March 4, 2024, ANI commenced a civil action against CG Oncology, Inc. f/k/a Cold Genesys, Inc. (“CG Oncology”) in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (“Delaware Action”). ANI’s complaint alleges that, under an Assignment and Technology Transfer Agreement dated as of November 15, 2010 (the “November 2010 Agreement”), CG Oncology is liable to pay ANI a running royalty of 5% of the worldwide net sales of cretostimogene made by CG Oncology or any affiliate or sublicensee thereof; and that in February 2024, CG Oncology wrongfully repudiated its royalty obligation to ANI. On April 2, 2024, CG Oncology filed an answer and counterclaim (the “CGON Answer and Counterclaim”) and concurrently moved for judgment on the pleadings or, in the alternative, for partial summary judgment (the “Motion for Summary Judgment”). CG Oncology’s Motion for Summary Judgment sought judgment declaring that the November 2010 Agreement does not “oblige CGON to pay royalties after expiration of the latest-running assigned patent.” On April 25, 2024, ANI filed a reply to CG Oncology’s counterclaims, denying any liability to CG Oncology and asserting additional counterclaims against CG Oncology (“Reply Counterclaims”) for alleged breach of the November 2010 Agreement and, in the alternative, for unjust enrichment. On May 15, 2024, CG Oncology filed a reply to ANI’s counterclaims, denying any liability to ANI and generally maintaining the positions taken in the CGON Answer and Counterclaim. On November 18, 2024, the court denied CG Oncology’s Motion for Summary Judgment. On June 2, 2025, CG Oncology filed five motions for summary judgment seeking dismissal of all of ANI’s claims and counterclaims, including breach of the royalty payment provision, breach of good faith performance, breach of the implied covenant of good faith, and in the alternative, unjust enrichment. Also on June 2, 2025, ANI filed a motion for partial summary judgment seeking dismissal of CG Oncology’s counterclaims for unenforceability of the royalty payment provision under Brulotte, breach of good faith performance, breach of confidentiality and trade secret misappropriation. At a pretrial conference on July 16, 2025, the court granted CG Oncology’s motion for partial summary judgment on its Brulotte counterclaim and affirmative defense, but allowed the case to proceed on ANI’s counterclaim for unjust enrichment. The court also granted ANI’s motion for partial summary judgment, dismissing CG Oncology’s breach of confidentiality and trade secret misappropriation claims. The jury trial commenced in Delaware Superior Court on July 21, 2025. On July 29, 2025, a verdict was returned by the jury, finding that (1) the unenforceability of the royalty payment provision in the November 2010 Agreement did not affect the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated thereby in a manner that was materially adverse to ANI, and (2) awarding no damages to ANI on its unjust enrichment counterclaim. On August 12, 2025, ANI filed a motion for a new trial and for judgment as a matter of law. A hearing on the motions was held by the court on April 10, 2026. On July 16, 2026, the court denied ANI's motions. ANI intends to appeal these decisions to the Delaware Supreme Court.
