11.Commitments and Contingencies Operating Leases We have a sublease agreement with Atara Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Atara) entered in October 2022 to sublease an office space currently used as headquarters located in South San Francisco, California. Subject to the terms of the sublease agreement, the lease term commenced in November 2022 and expire in May 2025. In February 2025, we entered into a lease agreement with 611 Gateway Center LP (611 Gateway) to lease the same office space currently subleased from Atara. Subject to the terms of the lease agreement, the lease term shall commence following the expiration of the sublease with Atara and shall expire in July 2027.

Purchase Commitments and Obligations In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements with contract manufacturers to manufacture our inventory products. Although the agreements generally provide a termination clause with or without cause, we may still be subjected to payment of cancellation fees. The level of cancellation fees is generally dependent on the timing of the written notice in relation to the commencement of work, with the maximum cancellation fees equal to the full price of the work order. In October 2024, we entered into an agreement with a third-party contract manufacturer to manufacture TAVALISSE that is expected to be delivered starting in 2026 through 2029. As of March 31, 2025, the contractual obligation not included in our financial statements related to an agreement that may potentially be subjected to cancellation fees of approximately $20.8 million, of which, $2.8 million is expected to be due in the remainder of 2025, and $9.7 million is expected to be due in 2026 and 2027. As of March 31, 2025, we have not incurred any cancellation fees under our agreements with contract manufacturers. Legal Contingencies From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any material legal proceedings that, if determined adversely us, would have a material adverse effect on us. In March 2025, we entered into a settlement agreement with Annora Pharma Private Ltd., Hetero Labs Ltd., and Hetero USA, Inc. (collectively, Annora), resolving patent litigation related to our product TAVALISSE (fostamatinib). The litigation resulted from submission by Annora of an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) to the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of TAVALISSE in the US. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Annora will have a license to sell its generic product in the second quarter of 2032 or earlier under certain circumstances. In accordance with the settlement agreement, the parties terminated all ongoing litigation between us and Annora regarding TAVALISSE patents pending in New Jersey.
