CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other materials we have filed or will file with the SEC include, or will include, forward-looking statements. All statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in other materials we have filed or will file with the SEC and in related comments by our management, other than statements of historical facts, including statements about future events, future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. Use of the words “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “potential,” “expects,” “plans,” “seeks,” “intends,” “evaluates,” “pursues,” “anticipates,” “continues,” “designs,” “impacts,” “affects,” “forecasts,” “target,” “outlook,” “initiative,” “objective,” “designed,” “priorities,” “goal” or the negative of those words or other similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements that represent our current judgment about possible future events, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions and the following:

•our and Bristol Myers Squibb’s, or BMS, plans for the continued commercialization of Abecma and the development and commercialization of earlier lines of therapy;

•our ability to finance our operations and business initiatives and obtain funding for such activities;

•the perceived therapeutic benefits of Abecma and the potential indications and market opportunities therefor;

•our plans with respect to the development, manufacture or sale of Abecma and the associated timing thereof, including the design and results of clinical studies;

•sourcing supplies for the materials used to manufacture Abecma;

•the safety profile and related adverse events of Abecma;

•our ability to compete with other companies that are or may be developing or selling products that are competitive with Abecma;

•U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements for Abecma, including any post-approval development and regulatory requirements, and the ability of Abecma to meet such requirements;

•our ability to attract and retain key employees needed to execute our business plans and strategies and our expectations regarding our ability to manage the impact of any loss of key employees;

•our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for Abecma and the strength thereof;

•the anticipated benefits of the sale of our oncology and autoimmune research and development programs, clinical manufacturing capabilities, and related platform technologies to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Regeneron, which we refer to as the “Asset Sale” or “Regeneron Transaction”, and the sale of our megaTAL program to Novo Nordisk A/S, or “Novo Transaction”;

•our future financial performance, including estimates of our future revenues, expenses, cash flows, profitability, tax obligations, capital requirements and our needs for additional financing, liquidity sources,

real estate needs and concentration of voting control, as well as the timing and drivers thereof, and internal control over financial reporting;

•the status of government regulation in the life sciences industry, particularly with respect to healthcare reform;

•the potential benefits of strategic collaboration agreements;

•potential indemnification liabilities we may owe to bluebird bio, Inc., or bluebird bio, after the separation;

•the impact of inflation rates on our business, financial condition and results of operation;

•the fluctuation of the market price of our shares; and

•trends and challenges in our current and potential markets.

See “Risk Factors” for a further description of these and other factors. Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors, there may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If any of these risks materialize, or if any of the above assumptions underlying forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results and developments may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For the reasons described above, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements, which should also be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date thereof. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or to revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Description of the business

2seventy bio, Inc. (the “Company” or “2seventy bio”) was incorporated in Delaware on April 26, 2021 and is a cell and gene therapy company focused on the research, development, and commercialization of transformative treatments for cancer. The Company’s approach combines its expertise in T cell engineering technology and lentiviral vector gene delivery approaches, experience in research, development, and manufacturing of cell therapies and a suite of technologies that can be selectively deployed to develop highly innovative, targeted cellular therapies for patients with cancer. The Company, together with BMS, is delivering the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration “FDA”-approved CAR T therapy in multiple myeloma, Abecma, to patients in the United States. Please refer to Note 11, Collaborative arrangements and strategic partnerships, for further discussion of the collaboration with BMS.

2seventy bio Securities Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and was granted securities corporation status in Massachusetts for the 2021 tax year. 2seventy bio Securities Corporation has no employees.

On January 29, 2024, the Company began undertaking a strategic realignment to focus on the development and commercialization of Abecma. In connection with the strategic realignment, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Regeneron”), to sell to Regeneron substantially all of the assets related to its oncology and autoimmune cell therapy programs (the “Regeneron Transaction”). The Regeneron Transaction closed on April 1, 2024 and Regeneron assumed all of the ongoing programs, infrastructure and personnel costs related to these programs.

Going concern

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 205-40, Going Concern, the Company evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company has incurred normal operating losses and has experienced negative operating cash flows for all historical periods presented. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $27.8 million and used $65.0 million of cash in operations. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the near future.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $201.9 million. Based on the Company’s current operating plans, including with respect to the ongoing commercialization of Abecma, the Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund current planned operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. The Company’s current operating plan is based on various assumptions. If the Company uses its capital resources sooner than expected, it would evaluate further reductions in its expense or obtaining additional financing. This may include pursuing a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties. This may also include the potential sale of shares of the Company’s common stock of up to $150.0 million in gross proceeds under the at-the-market (“ATM”) facility established in November 2022 with Cowen and Company, LLC. No sales of common stock have occurred under this ATM as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company does not currently have any plans to sell shares under the ATM.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies and basis of presentation

Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s 2023 annual report on Form 10-K, except as disclosed below:

Contingent consideration receivable

Under ASC 810, Consolidations, the Company has elected to use the loss recovery approach to account for contingent consideration receivable. Under this approach, if it is probable that contingent consideration will be received, an asset would be recognized and measured initially at the lesser of (i) the amount of probable future proceeds or (ii) the difference between the fair value of the consideration received, excluding the contingent consideration, and the carrying amount of the deconsolidated net assets.

Gain or Loss on Transaction

The Company accounts for the disposition or sale of a business in accordance with Topic 810, Consolidations. This includes derecognizing assets related to the disposal group and then recognizing a gain or loss for the difference between the fair value of the consideration received and the book value of the disposal group under Topic 810.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the historical results of the operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as included in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates of the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations for the interim periods presented.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Management considers many factors in selecting appropriate financial accounting policies and controls, and in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of these financial statements. Management must apply significant judgment in this process. In addition, other factors may affect estimates, including: expected business and operational changes, sensitivity and volatility associated with the assumptions used in developing estimates, and whether historical trends are expected to be representative of future trends. The estimation process often may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. This process may result in actual results differing materially from those estimated amounts used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Estimates and judgments are used in the following areas, among others: future undiscounted cash flows and subsequent fair value estimates used to assess potential and measure any impairment of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, contingent consideration, stock-based compensation expense, accrued expenses, income taxes, and the assessment of the Company's ability to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. In addition, estimates and judgments are used in the Company’s accounting for its revenue-generating arrangements, in

particular as it relates to determining the stand-alone selling price of performance obligations, evaluating whether an option to acquire additional goods and services represents a material right, estimating the total transaction price, including estimating variable consideration and the probability of achieving future potential development and regulatory milestones, assessing the period of performance over which revenue may be recognized, and accounting for modifications to revenue-generating arrangements.

3. Asset purchase agreements

Regeneron Asset Purchase Agreement

In January 2024, the Company and Regeneron entered into an asset purchase agreement for the Regeneron Transaction. The assets consisted of property, plant and equipment and prepaid expenses. As consideration for the Asset Sale, Regeneron agreed to pay the Company an upfront payment of $5.0 million and contingent consideration based on regulatory approval and sales-based royalties. Regeneron assumed certain programs, infrastructure and personnel costs related to the programs purchased. In accordance with Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company determined that as of the signing of the asset purchase agreement in January 2024, the criterion to classify the assets to be sold to Regeneron as assets held for sale was met. The $17.8 million of property, plant and equipment and prepaid expenses to be sold to Regeneron were classified as assets held for sale on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024.

As noted above, the Company received an upfront payment of $5.0 million upon closing of the Regeneron Transaction, which occurred on April 1, 2024. Moreover, the termination of the Company’s existing Collaboration Agreement with Regeneron (as described in Note 11) was negotiated concurrently with the asset purchase agreement and as such, the Company derecognized $7.8 million of deferred revenue associated with the Regeneron Collaboration Agreement as part of the Asset Sale. The cash received by the Company combined with the derecognition of the remaining deferred revenue totals $12.8 million and represents the approximate combined fair value of the assets sold to Regeneron under the asset purchase agreement. As such, in the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $5.0 million, disclosed as the “loss on assets held for sale to Regeneron” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). This represents the excess of the carrying value of the assets to be transferred to Regeneron at the time the held for sale criteria was met. This is presented as loss on assets held for sale on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Upon the closing of the Regeneron Transaction on April 1, 2024 and the receipt of the $5.0 million upfront payment, the Company derecognized the assets held for sale and the deferred revenue discussed above from its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the Asset Sale, the Company entered into transition services agreements with Regeneron, under which the Company provides certain services to Regeneron to help facilitate an orderly transition of the business following the Asset Sale. In return for these services, Regeneron is required to pay certain agreed upon fees to reimburse the Company for costs incurred, without markup. As of June 30, 2024, $7.5 million of receivables associated with these transition services agreements are included within receivables and other current assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Income for services provided by the Company to Regeneron is included within other income, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Reimbursement for costs incurred, without markup, are netted against operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Novo Asset Purchase Agreement

In June 2024, the Company announced the completion of an asset purchase agreement with Novo Nordisk (“Novo”). Under the terms of the agreement (“Novo Transaction”), Novo acquired the Company’s program for the research, development, manufacture, regulatory approval, and commercialization of gene therapy products exploiting the megaTAL Platform that is directed to the treatment, diagnosis and prevention of hemophilia (the “megaTAL Sale”). As consideration, Novo paid the Company upfront consideration of $38.0 million, plus up to an

additional $2.0 million that will be held back by Novo for 12 months and may be used to settle certain indemnification claims.

No assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet were identified to be transferred to Novo as part of the transaction. The termination of the Company’s existing Collaboration and License Agreement with Novo (as described in Note 11) was negotiated concurrently with the asset purchase agreement and as such, the Company derecognized $11.0 million of deferred revenue associated with the Company’s Novo Collaboration Agreement as part of the megaTAL Sale.

In connection with the megaTAL Sale, the Company entered into a transition service agreement with Novo under which the Company will provide certain services to Novo to help facilitate an orderly transition of the business following the sale. Consideration for these services was included in the initial purchase price and as such, $1.0 million, which represents the fair market value of the services to be performed, is deferred from the gain on the sale and will be recognized over the six month term of the transition services agreement. The balance of deferred transition service income is included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The $38.0 million cash consideration received by the Company (less the $1.0 million received for transition services to be provided by the Company) combined with the derecognition of the deferred revenue totals $48.0 million and represents the gain on the sale of asset to Novo. This is disclosed as the “gain on sale to Novo Nordisk”, on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As the Company has elected to use the loss recovery approach to account for contingent consideration receivable, the $2.0 million cash consideration held back by Novo will not be recognized until it is probable to be received.

Total	$	3,496	$	(4)	$	13,266	$	(361)	$	16,762	$	(365)

Accrued interest receivables on the Company's available-for-sale debt securities and restricted investments, included within receivables and other current assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, totaled $0.7 million as of June 30, 2024 and $0.8 million as of December 31, 2023. No accrued interest receivable was written off during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.

The amortized cost of available-for-sale debt securities and restricted investments is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to the earliest call date for premiums or to maturity for discounts. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss was composed primarily of activity related to the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities and restricted investments. There were no material realized gains or losses recognized on the sale or maturity of available-for-sale securities or restricted investments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

The Company determined that there was no material change in the credit risk of the above investments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. As such, an allowance for credit losses was not recognized. As of June 30, 2024, the Company does not intend to sell such securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases.

Contingent consideration

In connection with bluebird bio's prior acquisition of Precision Genome Engineering, Inc. (“Pregenen”) in 2014, the Company may be required to pay future consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of certain commercial milestone events. Contingent consideration is measured at fair value and is based on significant unobservable inputs, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of contingent consideration uses assumptions the Company believes would be made by a market participant. The Company assesses these estimates on an on-going basis as additional data impacting the assumptions is obtained. Future changes in the fair value of contingent consideration related to updated assumptions and estimates are recognized within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). In the absence of new information related to the probability of milestone achievement, changes in fair value will reflect changing discount rates and the passage of time. As of June 30, 2024, the Company determined the probability of milestone achievement to be zero and as a result reduced the fair value of contingent consideration included in other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets to zero.

The table below provides a roll-forward of fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration obligations that include Level 3 inputs (in thousands):

(1) Refer to Note 3, Asset Purchase Agreements, for further information regarding deferred transition services income relating to the Novo Transaction.

The increase in accrued collaboration research costs is attributable to an increase in the Company’s accrual of amounts due under its collaboration with BMS.

8. Leases

The Company leases certain office and laboratory space, primarily located in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Seattle, Washington, which was assigned to it in connection with its separation from bluebird bio. The lease at 60 Binney Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts for 253,108 square feet (the “Prime Lease”) was previously entered into by bluebird bio with ARE-MA Region No. 40, LLC on September 21, 2015. The lease at 188 East Blaine Street in Seattle, Washington for 36,126 square feet was previously entered into by bluebird bio on July 18, 2018.

In connection with the Regeneron Transaction, Regeneron agreed to fully sublease the Company’s facilities in Seattle, Washington and sublease a portion of the Company’s facilities in Cambridge, Massachusetts. As part of the sublease agreement with Regeneron (the “Subtenant”), the Company agreed to sublease to Regeneron approximately 159,106 square feet of space in Cambridge and approximately 36,126 square feet of space in Seattle. The Company remains the primary obligor of the leases. In each case, the monthly base rent for the sublease is equal to the rate per square foot paid by the Company, which is subject to annual rent increases.

For the Prime Lease, in addition to base rent, the Subtenant is responsible for its allocated share of costs incurred and expenditures made by the Company in the operation and management of the subleased space. The Subtenant has agreed to pay its proportionate share (63%) of all operating expenses, taxes, insurance, utilities storage, parking fees and all other additional rent payable by the Company under the Prime Lease.

Sublease income from Regeneron will cover a majority of the Company’s future minimum lease commitments through 2027. Total sublease income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 related to the sublease of the Prime Lease was approximately $5.1 million. Total sublease income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 related to the sublease of the Seattle lease was approximately $0.6 million, which covers all of the Company’s costs for the Seattle facility. This income is netted against the Company’s rent expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

9. Commitments and contingencies

Contingent consideration related to business combination

On June 30, 2014, bluebird bio acquired Pregenen. All assets, liabilities and future obligations related to the Pregenen acquisition, including the resulting goodwill and contingent consideration, were assumed by the Company in connection with the separation from bluebird bio. The Company may be required to make up to $99.9 million in contingent cash payments to the former equity holders of Pregenen upon the achievement of certain commercial milestones related to the Pregenen technology. In accordance with accounting guidance for business combinations, contingent consideration liabilities are required to be recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Estimating the fair value of contingent consideration requires the use of significant assumptions primarily relating to probabilities of successful achievement of certain clinical and commercial milestones, the expected timing in which these milestones will be achieved and discount rates. The use of different assumptions could result in materially different estimates of fair value. As of June 30, 2024, the Company determined the probability of milestone achievement to be zero and as a result reduced the fair value of contingent consideration included in other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets to zero. Please refer to Note 5, Fair value measurements, for further information.

Other funding commitments

Certain agreements that were assigned by bluebird bio to the Company in connection with the separation relate principally to licensed technology and may require future payments relating to milestones that may be met in subsequent periods or royalties on future sales of specified products. Additionally, to the extent an agreement relating to licensed technology was not assigned to the Company, bluebird bio entered into a sublicense with the Company, which may require the Company to make future milestone and/or royalty payments. Please refer to Note 11, Collaborative arrangements and strategic partnerships, for further information on the BMS, Regeneron, and Novo Nordisk A/S agreements and to Note 12, Royalty and other revenue, for further information on license agreements.

Based on the Company's development plans as of June 30, 2024, the Company may be obligated to make future development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments and royalty payments on future sales of specified products. Payments under these agreements generally become due and payable upon achievement of such milestones or sales. When the achievement of these milestones or sales has not occurred, such contingencies are not recorded in the Company’s financial statements. As further discussed in Note 11, Collaborative arrangements and strategic partnerships, BMS assumed responsibility for amounts due to licensors as a result of any future ex-U.S. sales of Abecma.

Additionally, 2seventy bio was party to various contracts with contract research organizations and contract manufacturers that generally provide for termination on notice, with the exact amounts in the event of termination to be based on the timing of the termination and the terms of the agreement. The majority of these contracts were assumed by Regeneron upon or after closing of the Regeneron Transaction. For any contracts remaining, other than a decrease in committed spend due to the payment of these obligations in the normal course of business, there have been no material changes in future minimum purchase commitments from those disclosed in Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2023 annual report on Form 10-K.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company expects to be party to various claims and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. However, the Company is not currently a party to any litigation or legal proceedings that, in the

opinion of its management, are probable of having a material adverse effect on its business. The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s business partners. In addition, pursuant to the separation agreement with bluebird bio, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse bluebird bio for its indemnification obligations with respect to the Company’s business partners, relating to the Company’s business or arising out of the Company’s activities, in the past or to be conducted in the future. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. Management does not believe that any ultimate liability resulting from any of these claims will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. However, management cannot give any assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of any claims, and their resolution could be material to operating results for any particular period.

The Company indemnifies each of its directors and officers for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while the officer or director is or was serving at the Company’s request in such capacity, as permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with its certificate of incorporation and by-laws and indemnification agreements entered into with each of its directors and officers. The term of the indemnification period will last as long as a director or officer may be subject to any proceeding arising out of acts or omissions of such director or officer in such capacity. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited; however, the Company holds director and officer liability insurance.

10. Equity

In January 2023, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Regeneron, pursuant to which it sold 1,114,827 shares of its common stock to Regeneron, subject to certain restrictions, for an aggregate cash price of approximately $20.0 million. The purchase price represents $9.9 million worth of common stock plus a $10.1 million premium, which represents collaboration deferred revenue. Details regarding the recognition of this deferred revenue as revenue are included below in Note 11, Collaborative arrangements and strategic partnerships.

In March 2023, the Company sold 10,869,566 shares of common stock through an underwritten public offering at a price per share of $11.50. This resulted in aggregate net proceeds to the Company of approximately $117.0 million, after deducting underwriting fees and offering expenses. The underwriters did not exercise their option to purchase up to 1,630,434 additional shares of common stock and therefore no additional proceeds were received.

11. Collaborative arrangements and strategic partnerships

To date, the Company’s service and collaborative arrangement revenue has been primarily generated from collaboration arrangements with BMS, Regeneron, and Novo, each as further described below. These agreements were assumed by the Company in connection with the separation from bluebird bio as described in Note 14.

Bristol-Myers Squibb

BMS Collaboration Agreement

In March 2013, bluebird bio entered into a collaboration agreement with BMS. The details of the collaboration agreements and the payments the Company has received, and is entitled to receive, are further described in Note 10, Collaborative arrangements and strategic partnerships, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2023 annual report on Form 10-K. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the collaboration agreement with BMS to assign future manufacturing of lentiviral vector to BMS, as further described in Note 8, Commitments and contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2023 annual report on Form 10-K.

Abecma

Under the collaboration agreement with BMS, the Company shares equally in the profit and loss related to the development and commercialization of ide-cel in the United States (marketed as Abecma). If the Company were to choose to terminate its existing agreement with BMS, it would be entitled to a mid-single digit to low teens royalty based on a percentage of net sales of Abecma in the United States with 90 days’ notice. The Company has no remaining financial rights with respect to the development or commercialization of ide-cel outside of the United States. The Company accounts for its collaborative arrangement efforts with BMS in the United States within the scope of ASC 808 given that both parties are active participants in the activities and both parties are exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of the activities. The calculation of collaborative activity to be recognized for joint Abecma efforts in the United States is performed on a quarterly basis and is independent of previous quarterly activity. This may result in fluctuations between revenue and expense recognition period over period, depending on the varying extent of effort performed by each party during the period. The Company recognizes revenue related to the combined unit of accounting for the ex-U.S. license and lentiviral vector manufacturing services under Topic 606.

Ide-cel U.S. Share of Collaboration Profit or Loss

The U.S. commercial and development activities under the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Co-Development, Co-Promote and Profit Share Agreement (the “Amended Ide-Cel CCPS”) are within the scope of ASC 808. On a quarterly basis, the Company determines its share of collaboration profit or loss for commercial activities (i.e. commercial sales of Abecma by BMS). The Company’s share of any collaboration profit for commercial activities is recognized as collaborative arrangement revenue and its share of any collaboration loss for commercial activity is recognized as an operating expense and classified as share of collaboration loss on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company is also responsible for equally sharing in the ongoing ide-cel research and development activities being conducted by BMS in the United States as BMS continues conducting ongoing clinical studies to support the use of Abecma in earlier lines of therapy. The net amount owed to BMS for research and development activities determined on a quarterly basis is classified as research and development expense on the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). If BMS is obligated to reimburse the Company because the Company’s research and development costs exceeds BMS’ research and development costs in a particular quarterly period, the net amount is recorded as collaborative arrangement revenue.

The following tables summarize the components utilized in the Company’s quarterly calculation of collaborative arrangement revenue or share of collaboration loss under the BMS collaboration arrangement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands). The amounts reported for these periods represent the Company’s share of BMS’ Abecma product revenue, cost of goods sold, and selling costs, along with reimbursement by BMS of commercial costs incurred by the Company, and exclude expenses related to ongoing development, which are separately reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as described below.


	For the three months ended				For the six months ended
Abecma U.S. Collaboration Profit/Loss Share	March 31, 2024		June 30, 2024		June 30, 2024

Collaborative arrangement revenue (1)	$	22,961	$	24,543	$	47,504

(1)As noted above, the calculation is performed on a quarterly basis and consists of 2seventy's share of profits, net of 2seventy's share of BMS costs for commercial activities, offset by reimbursement from BMS for 2seventy commercial activities. The calculation is independent of previous activity, which may result in fluctuations between revenue and expense recognition period over period.

The following tables summarize the amounts associated with the research activities under the collaboration included in research and development expense or recognized as collaborative arrangement revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

These costs are included in restructuring expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Regeneron

Upon closing of the Regeneron Transaction, on April 1, 2024, the Collaboration Agreement with Regeneron described below was terminated. Please refer to Note 3, Asset Purchase Agreements for further information regarding the accounting treatment for the termination.

Regeneron Collaboration Agreement

In August 2018, bluebird bio entered into a Collaboration Agreement (the “Regeneron Collaboration Agreement”) with Regeneron, pursuant to which the parties will apply their respective technology platforms to the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel immune cell therapies for cancer. In August 2018, following the completion of required regulatory reviews, the Regeneron Collaboration Agreement became effective. As noted above, the agreement was assumed by the Company in connection with the separation. Under the terms of the agreement, the parties will leverage Regeneron’s proprietary platform technologies for the discovery and characterization of fully human antibodies, as well as T cell receptors directed against tumor-specific proteins and peptides and the Company will contribute its field-leading expertise in gene therapy.

In accordance with the Regeneron Collaboration Agreement, the parties jointly selected six initial targets and intend to equally share the costs of research up to the point of submitting an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application for a potential gene therapy product directed to a particular target. Additional targets may be selected to add to or replace any of the initial targets during the five-year research collaboration term as agreed to by the parties.

Regeneron will accrue a certain number of option rights exercisable against targets as the parties reach certain milestones under the terms of the agreement. Upon the acceptance of an IND for the first product candidate directed to a target, Regeneron will have the right to exercise an option for co-development/co-commercialization of product candidates directed to such target on a worldwide or applicable opt-in territory basis, with certain exceptions. Where Regeneron chooses to opt-in, the parties will share equally in the costs of development and commercialization and will share equally in any profits or losses therefrom in applicable opt-in territories. Outside of the applicable opt-in territories, the target becomes a licensed target and Regeneron would be eligible to receive, with respect to any resulting product, milestone payments of up to $130.0 million per product and royalties on net sales outside of the applicable opt-in territories at a rate ranging from the mid-single digits to low-double digits. A target would also become a licensed target in the event Regeneron does not have an option to such target, or Regeneron does not exercise its option with respect to such target.

Either party may terminate a given research program directed to a particular target for convenience, and the other party may elect to continue such research program at its expense, receiving applicable cross-licenses. The terminating party will receive licensed product royalties and milestone payments on the potential applicable gene therapy products. Where the Company terminates a given research program for convenience, and Regeneron elects to continue such research program, the parties will enter into a transitional services agreement. Under certain conditions, following its opt-in, Regeneron may terminate a given collaboration program and the Company may elect to continue the development and commercialization of the applicable potential gene therapy products as licensed products.

First Amendment to the Regeneron Collaboration Agreement

In January 2023, 2seventy bio and Regeneron announced an amendment to the Regeneron Collaboration Agreement (the “Amendment”), to amend and extend their current agreement, applying their respective technology platforms to the discovery, development and commercialization of novel immune cell therapies for cancer. Under the Amendment, the parties have identified four research targets to advance the next stage of research therapies. The parties will continue sharing costs for these activities in a manner largely consistent with the existing agreement, with Regeneron now covering 75% of eligible late-stage research costs to study combinations and 100% of the costs for the arms of clinical studies that include Regeneron agents through regulatory approval of two of the four targets. For other programs, cost-sharing will follow the existing 50/50 cost sharing agreement.

Additionally, Regeneron will make one-time milestone payments for each of the first Clinical Candidate directed to MUC-16 and the first Clinical Candidate directed to a selected early stage research target to achieve the applicable milestones. Clinical Candidate milestone events and payments include:

•$2.0 million payment from Regeneron for Development Candidate Nomination;

•$3.0 million payment from Regeneron for IND Acceptance; and

•$5.0 million payment from Regeneron for the earlier of (i) last patient dosed with a Monotherapy Regimen and (ii) dosing of the 10th patient in a Clinical Trial included in an Approved Research/ Development Plan.

The Development Candidate Nomination for MUC-16 has already occurred and the corresponding milestone payment will not be due until the Clinical Candidate milestone event (IND Acceptance) is achieved for MUC-16 at which time the first milestone will be reduced to $1.0 million for a total amount due for the two milestones related to MUC-16 of $4.0 million.

Regeneron Share Purchase Agreements

A Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) was entered into by bluebird bio and Regeneron in August 2018. In August 2018, on the closing date of the transaction, bluebird bio issued to Regeneron 0.4 million shares of bluebird bio’s common stock, subject to certain restrictions, for $238.10 per share, or $100.0 million in the aggregate. Following the spin-off, Regeneron held approximately 0.1 million shares of 2seventy bio’s common stock, subject to certain restrictions. The purchase price represents $63.0 million worth of common stock plus a $37.0 million premium, which represents a collaboration research advancement, or credit to be applied to Regeneron’s initial 50 percent funding obligation for collaboration research, after which the collaborators will continue to fund ongoing research equally. The collaboration research advancement only applies to pre-IND research activities and is not refundable or creditable against post-IND research activities for any programs where Regeneron exercises its opt-in rights.

In connection with the Amendment, the Company entered into a SPA with Regeneron pursuant to which the Company sold 1.1 million shares of its common stock, subject to certain restrictions, for $17.94 per share, to Regeneron for an aggregate cash price of approximately $20.0 million. The purchase price represents $9.9 million worth of common stock plus a $10.1 million premium, which represents deferred revenue.

Accounting analysis – 2018 Regeneron Collaboration Agreement

At the commencement of the original Regeneron Collaboration Agreement, two units of accounting were identified, which are the issuance of 0.4 million shares of bluebird bio’s common stock and joint research activities during the five-year research collaboration term. The Company determined the total transaction price to be $100.0 million, which comprises $54.5 million attributed to the bluebird bio equity sold to Regeneron and $45.5 million attributed to the joint research activities. In determining the fair value of the bluebird bio common stock at closing, the Company considered the closing price of the bluebird bio common stock on the closing date of the transaction and included a lack of marketability discount because Regeneron received shares subject to certain restrictions.

The Company analyzed the joint research activities to assess whether they fall within the scope of ASC 808, and will reassess this throughout the life of the arrangement based on changes in the roles and responsibilities of the parties. Based on the terms of the arrangement as outlined above, for the collaboration research performed prior to submission of an IND application for a potential gene therapy product, both parties are deemed to be active participants in the collaboration. Both parties are performing research and development activities and will share equally in these costs through IND submission. Additionally, Regeneron and the Company are exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of any product candidates that may result from the collaboration. As such, the collaboration arrangement is deemed to be within the scope of ASC 808.

The $45.5 million attributed to the joint research activities includes the $37.0 million creditable against amounts owed to the Company by Regeneron. The collaboration research advancement will be reduced over time for amounts due to the Company by Regeneron as a result of the parties agreeing to share in the costs of collaboration research equally. The remainder of $8.5 million will be attributed to the joint research activities and recognized over the five-year research collaboration term. As of December 31, 2022, $1.1 million of the premium remained to be recognized.

Consistent with its collaboration accounting policy, the Company will recognize collaboration revenue or research and development expense related to the joint research activities in future periods depending on the amounts incurred by each party in a given reporting period. That is, if the Company’s research costs incurred exceed those research costs incurred by Regeneron in a given quarter, the Company will record collaboration revenue and reduce the original $37.0 million advance by the amount due from Regeneron until such advancement is fully utilized, after which the Company would record an amount due from Regeneron. If Regeneron’s research costs incurred exceed those research costs incurred by the Company in a given quarter, the Company will record research and development expense and record a liability for the amount due to Regeneron. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $3.7 million of collaboration research advancement credit attributed to the joint research activities still to be recognized. The research credit was fully utilized in the first quarter of 2023.

Accounting analysis - Regeneron Amendment

At the commencement of the Amendment, the Company identified two units of accounting, including the issuance of 1.1 million shares of 2seventy bio common stock and joint research activities under the amended agreement. The Company determined the total transaction price to be $20.0 million, which comprises $9.9 million of 2seventy bio equity sold to Regeneron and $10.1 million attributed to joint research activities. In determining the fair value of 2seventy bio common stock at closing, the Company considered the closing price of 2seventy bio common stock on the closing date of the transaction and included a lack of marketability discount because Regeneron received shares subject to certain restrictions.

Consistent with the original Regeneron Collaboration Agreement, the Company assessed whether the joint research activities under the Amendment fell within the scope of ASC 808 and will reassess this throughout the life of the arrangement based on changes in the roles and responsibilities of the parties. Based on the terms of the amended arrangement as outlined above, for the collaboration research performed prior to submission of an IND application for a potential gene therapy product, both parties continue to be active participants in the collaboration. Both parties continue to perform research and development activities and will share in these costs through IND submission. Additionally, Regeneron and the Company continue to be exposed to significant risks and rewards

dependent on the commercial success of any product candidates that may result from the collaboration. As such, the collaboration arrangement is deemed to be within the scope of ASC 808. The Company continues to apply ASC 606 by analogy to determine the measurement and recognition of the consideration received from Regeneron.

The Company analogized to the contract modification guidance in ASC 606 to account for the scope and pricing changes contained in the Amendment. The Company concluded the four targets outlined in the joint research activities within the Amendment are now four distinct performance obligations. Based on this, the Company treated the modification as a termination of the existing contract and a creation of a new contract. The remaining premium of $1.1 million that had not been recognized as of December 31, 2022 was allocated with the $10.1 million premium attributed to joint research activities from the Amendment, for a total of $11.2 million. This amount is recognized through the filing of IND for each individual target, allocated among the four distinct performance obligations based on the stand-alone selling price of each target performance obligation. Future milestones continue to be fully constrained until such time as the achievement of such milestones are considered probable.

The Company concluded that it continues to satisfy its obligations over-time as Regeneron receives the benefit of the research activities as the activities are performed. The Company determined the most appropriate method to track progress towards completion of the four performance obligations is an input method that is based on costs incurred. There are significant judgments and estimates inherent in the determination of the costs to be incurred for the research and development activities related to the collaboration with Regeneron. These estimates and assumptions include a number of objective and subjective factors, including the likelihood that a target will be successfully developed through its IND filing and the estimated costs associated with such development, including the potential third-party costs related to each target’s IND-enabling study. Any changes to these estimates will be recognized in the period in which they change as a cumulative catch-up.

As noted, the four targets represent four distinct performance obligations and as such, the Company has allocated the total transaction price of $11.2 million among the four performance obligations based on the stand-alone selling price of each target.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation and the amount of the allocated transaction price (in thousands):


Performance Obligation	Allocation of Transaction Price
MUC16 Mono/Combo & Next Gen Therapies	$	1,905
MAGE-A4	178
Early Research Target (1)	8,701
Early Research Target (2)	475
Total	$	11,259

As of June 30, 2024, as the Collaboration has been terminated concurrently with the closing of the Regeneron Transaction, there is no unsatisfied portion of the transaction price remaining and there is no remaining deferred revenue as the remaining deferred revenue amount of $7.8 million as of April 1, 2024, was derecognized as part of the Regeneron Transaction. Refer to Note 3, Asset Purchase Agreements, for further detail.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company received a milestone payment of $4.0 million from Regeneron relating to IND acceptance for the MUC16 target. As the filing of IND for the target is complete, the performance obligation relating to the target is satisfied and the Company recognized the full $4.0 million as service revenue in the first quarter of 2024, and on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 under ASC 606.

The Collaboration Agreement with Regeneron has terminated concurrently with the closing of the Regeneron Transaction, and as such the Company did not recognize revenue in the second quarter of 2024. For the six months

ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $4.7 million of collaborative arrangement revenue from the Regeneron Collaboration Agreement relating to the first quarter of 2024. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $4.5 million and $10.9 million of collaborative arrangement revenue, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, amounts due from Regeneron totaled $2.3 million relating to the collaboration, included within receivables and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

JW Therapeutics

Please refer to Note 3, Asset Purchase Agreements, for further information on the terms of the Asset Sale. Upon closing of the Asset Sale on April 1, 2024, this program was assumed by Regeneron, including all upfront milestone and royalty payments to be made by JW (Cayman) Therapeutics Co., Ltd. (“JW”), if any.

In October 2022, the Company entered into a strategic alliance with JW to establish a translational and clinical cell therapy development platform designed to more rapidly explore T cell-based immunotherapy therapy products in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong (China), and Macao (China). The initial focus of the collaboration is the Company’s MAGE-A4 TCR program in solid tumors which is being developed as part of its collaboration with Regeneron.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company granted JW a license for the MAGE-A4 cell therapy in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong (China), and Macao (China). JW is responsible for development, manufacturing, and commercialization of the initial product within China. The Company is eligible to receive milestones and royalties on product revenues in China. The Company and Regeneron will equally share all payments received from JW, including but not limited to all upfront, milestone and royalty payments made by JW to the Company. The Company and Regeneron will also equally share all costs for any eligible expenses incurred in accordance with the terms of the Regeneron Collaboration Agreement. Additionally, the Company may leverage the early clinical data generated under the collaboration to support development in other geographies.

Accounting Analysis - JW

The Company concluded JW is a customer, and as such, the arrangement falls within the scope of Topic 606. Two performance obligations were identified within the contract consisting of (i) a license for the MAGE-A4 cell therapy, including a transfer of technology as agreed upon by both parties and (ii) vector supply necessary to conduct a Phase 1 clinical trial. The Company has concluded the manufacturing and supply of vector is a distinct performance obligation from the license for MAGE-A4 cell therapy because there are other vendors that could provide the necessary supply.

At contract inception, the Company determined the unconstrained transaction price was $7.3 million, consisting of the $3.0 million up-front consideration and $4.3 million consisting of variable consideration for the reimbursement of vector supply. JW provided the Company with a $3.0 million upfront payment related to the granting of a license for MAGE-A4 cell therapy and the transfer of technology for the development of the initial product in which the Company shared equally with Regeneron. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company completed the full transfer of the license of IP related to MAGEA4 cell therapy along with the technology transfer, and as such, the upfront payment received from JW was recognized as service revenue during the first quarter of 2023. The transaction price of $4.3 million related to the supply of vector consists of variable consideration based upon the estimated amount of vector needed in the development and commercialization for the initial Phase 1 clinical trial which the Company will also share equally with Regeneron. The agreement with JW was assumed by Regeneron as a part of the Regeneron Transaction. As of June 30, 2024, no unsatisfied portion of the variable consideration for the reimbursement of vector supply remains.

Novo Nordisk

Upon the closing of an asset purchase agreement with Novo Nordisk in June 2024, the Collaboration and License Agreement with Novo Nordisk was terminated. Please refer to Note 3, Asset Purchase Agreements, for further information regarding the accounting treatment for the termination.

Novo Collaboration and License Agreement

In December 2021, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Novo Collaboration Agreement”) with Novo for the discovery, development, and commercialization of a potential new gene therapy in hemophilia A. The Company and Novo have agreed to develop an initial research program with the goal of researching and developing a lead candidate directed to hemophilia A. The Company will provide Novo with research licenses to support the companies’ activities during the initial research program and an option to enable Novo to obtain an exclusive license to commercialize the product derived from or containing compounds developed during the initial research program.

Under the terms of the Novo Collaboration Agreement, Novo agreed to pay the Company:

•a non-refundable, non-creditable upfront payment of $5.0 million;

•$15.0 million upon achievement of certain scientific milestones during the initial research program, or $9.0 million should Novo decide to continue the initial research program without achieving the scientific milestones;

•up to $26.0 million of exclusive license fees for the development, manufacture, and commercialization of the product should Novo exercise its option; and,

•up to $72.0 million in development and commercialization milestones.

Novo also agreed to reimburse the Company for research costs incurred in connection with the research program up to a mutually agreed upon amount. If Novo exercises its option to obtain a license to commercialize the product developed during the initial research program, the Company is also eligible to receive a mid-single digit percentage of royalties on product sales on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis, subject to certain royalty step-down provisions set forth in the agreement.

Accounting Analysis - Novo

The Company concluded that Novo is a customer, and as such, the arrangement falls within the scope of Topic 606. The Company identified two performance obligations consisting of (i) the research license and research and development services to be provided during the initial research program and (ii) a material right related to Novo’s option to obtain an exclusive license for the development, manufacture, and commercialization of the product developed during the initial research program. The Company determined that the research license and research and development services promises were not separately identifiable and were not distinct or distinct within the context of the contract due to the specialized nature of the services to be provided by 2seventy, specifically with respect to the Company’s expertise related to gene therapy and the interdependent relationship between the promises. The material right is considered a separate performance obligation pursuant to the provisions of Topic 606.

At contract inception, the Company determined the unconstrained transaction price was $11.7 million, consisting of the $5.0 million in up-front consideration and the $6.7 million in reimbursement for the research and development services. Variable consideration associated with the scientific milestones was fully constrained due to the uncertainty associated with the outcome of the research efforts under the initial research program. The Company allocated $6.7 million of the transaction price to the research services and $5.0 million to the material right using a relative selling price methodology. Management will re-evaluate the transaction price at the end of each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur and adjust the transaction price as necessary.

In April 2023, the Company achieved positive proof of concept, preclinical data related to its joint research and development collaboration with Novo. This achievement triggered a $15.0 million milestone payment to the Company under the terms of the Novo Collaboration Agreement. Following the achievement of this milestone, Novo may elect to exercise an option to in-license technology from a third party in connection with the Novo Collaboration Agreement, for which the Company is responsible in making a $9.0 million payment to such third

party. Novo exercised its option to in-license technology from a third party in connection with the Novo Collaboration Agreement, which triggered the aforementioned $9.0 million payment by the Company to such third party. The remaining $6.0 million, of the $15.0 million proof of concept milestone, is allocated to the material right alongside the $5.0 million upfront payment. Prior to the Novo Transaction, the total of $11.0 million was included in deferred revenue, net of current portion. This amount was derecognized as part of the accounting for the Novo Transaction. Please refer to Note 3, Asset Purchase Agreements, for further detail.

Revenue associated with the research and development performance obligation will be recognized as services are provided and costs are incurred. For the three and six months ended June 2024, the Company recognized $2.0 million and $3.5 million of service revenue under this agreement, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 2023, the Company recognized $1.9 million and $3.6 million of service revenue under this agreement, respectively. The collaboration has been terminated following the signing of the asset purchase agreement with Novo in June 2024. Refer to Note 3, Asset Purchase Agreements, for further details.

12. Royalty and other revenue

bluebird bio has out-licensed intellectual property to various third parties. Under the terms of these agreements, some of which were assumed by the Company in connection with the separation, bluebird bio and the Company may be entitled to royalties and milestone payments.

Juno Therapeutics

In May 2020, bluebird bio entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with Juno Therapeutics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of BMS, related to lentiviral vector technology to develop and commercialize CD-19-directed CAR T cell therapies. The agreement was assumed by the Company in connection with the separation. Royalty revenue recognized from sales of lisocabtagene maraleucel is included within royalty and other revenue in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. As of August 24, 2023, the royalty term of this license agreement ended, and the Company will no longer receive royalties from sales of lisocabtagene maraleucel.

The Company did not recognize royalty and other revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company recognized $2.0 million and $3.4 million of royalty and other revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

13. Stock-based compensation

In connection with 2seventy bio’s separation from bluebird bio in 2021, under the provisions of the existing plans, the outstanding bluebird bio equity awards were adjusted in accordance with the terms of the employee matters agreement (equitable adjustment) to preserve the intrinsic value of the awards immediately before and after distribution. Refer to Note 13, Stock-based compensation, to the consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for details on the conversion methodology of the equity awards.

In October 2021, the Company’s board of directors adopted the 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”) which allows for the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and restricted stock awards to 2seventy bio’s employees, members of the board of directors, and consultants of 2seventy bio, including those who became employees of the Company in connection with the separation. Shares of the Company’s common stock underlie all awards granted under the 2021 Plan.

Stock-based compensation expense

Stock-based compensation expense includes compensation cost related to 2seventy bio equity awards held by its employees as well as bluebird bio equity awards issued upon separation to its employees.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized by award type was as follows (in thousands):


	For the three months ended June 30,				For the six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, 0.1 million shares of common stock were issued under the Company’s 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).

14. Related-party transactions

Relationship with bluebird bio

In January 2021, bluebird bio, Inc. (“bluebird bio”) announced its plans to separate oncology portfolio and programs from its severe genetic disease portfolio and programs, and spin off its oncology portfolio and programs into a separate, publicly traded company (the “Separation”). In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into certain agreements pursuant to which the separation of its business from bluebird bio was effected and that govern its relationship with bluebird bio going forward. The separation agreement, tax matters agreement, employee matters agreement, intellectual property license agreement (“License Agreement”) and two transition services agreements are described in Note 14, Related-party transactions, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2023 annual report on Form 10-K. The transition services agreements have since been terminated. Prior to the separation, all of Company’s outstanding shares of common stock were owned by bluebird bio and therefore the transactions under those agreements were considered and disclosed as related party transactions. Following the completion of the separation and distribution, the Company and bluebird bio have operated separately, each as an independent public company and bluebird bio no longer owns any shares of the Company’s common stock. Therefore, transactions under those agreements are no longer accounted for as related party transactions.

15. Income taxes

Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the

realization of the favorable tax attributes in future tax returns, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the Company’s otherwise recognizable net deferred tax assets.

16. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the Company’s weighted-average outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the Company’s weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method. In periods when the Company has a net loss, stock awards are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect.

The following table shows the calculation of diluted shares (in thousands):


			For the three months ended June 30,
			2024
Shares used in computation of basic earnings per share			52,186
Total dilutive effect of outstanding options and restricted stock units(1)			2,825
Shares used in computation of diluted earnings per share			55,011

(1)Outstanding stock options and restricted stock units include awards outstanding to employees of bluebird bio.

As described further in Note 9, Stockholders’ equity, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2023 annual report on Form 10-K, in November 2021, the Company issued to certain institutional investors (who previously purchased pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of bluebird bio common stock) pre-funded warrants to purchase 757,575 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The pre-funded warrants can be exercised at any time or times on or after November 4, 2021, until exercised in full. Based on the terms of the pre-funded warrants, management concluded that they should be considered outstanding shares in the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share.

17. Corporate Restructuring

September 2023 Restructuring Plan

In August 2023, the Company’s board of directors approved a restructuring plan (the “2023 Restructuring Plan”) to conserve financial resources and better align the Company’s workforce with current business needs. As part of the 2023 Restructuring Plan, the Company's workforce was reduced by approximately 40% in September 2023. The Company’s 2023 Restructuring Plan is complete as of June 30, 2024.

In connection with the 2023 Restructuring Plan, the Company incurred $8.6 million of one-time costs relating to severance and retention packages and related benefits. These costs were recognized in the third quarter of 2023, in accordance with ASC 420, Exit and Disposal Activities, and were included in restructuring expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Since inception of the 2023 Restructuring Plan, the Company has paid $8.6 million of restructuring costs. An immaterial amount of accrued costs remains for the plan as of June 30, 2024 and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

January 2024 Restructuring Plan

In January 2024, the Company announced a strategic path forward to focus exclusively on the commercialization and development of Abecma. In connection with the Company’s strategic re-alignment, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Regeneron to sell the Company’s oncology and

autoimmune research and development programs, clinical manufacturing capabilities, and related platform technologies which closed on April 1, 2024. Approximately 62% of the workforce that was left following completion of the 2023 Restructuring Plan transitioned to Regeneron as a part of the Regeneron Transaction. Additionally, as part of the strategic re-alignment, the Company’s board of directors approved a restructuring plan (the “2024 Restructuring Plan”) to further reduce its remaining workforce by approximately 14%. The Company expects the 2024 Restructuring Plan to be substantially complete by October 2024.

In connection with the 2024 Restructuring Plan, the Company expects to incur approximately $6.6 million of costs for severance and related benefits and stock-based compensation expense. These costs will be recognized over the period from January 2024 through October 2024, and are disclosed as restructuring expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The table below summarizes the expenses recognized and expected to be recognized under the 2024 Restructuring Plan as of June 30, 2024:


	Expense recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2024		Expense recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2024		Total expense expected to be recognized

Overview

We are a cell and gene therapy company focused on the research, development, and commercialization of transformative treatments for cancer. We were incorporated in Delaware in April 2021 and are led by an accomplished team with significant expertise and experience in this field from discovery through clinical development to regulatory approval of idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel, marketed in the United States as Abecma). Our approach combines our expertise in T cell engineering technology and lentiviral vector gene delivery approaches, experience in research, development, and manufacturing of cell therapies and a suite of technologies that can be selectively deployed to develop highly innovative, targeted cellular therapies for patients with cancer. We, together with our partner Bristol Myers Squibb’s (“BMS”), are delivering Abecma to multiple myeloma patients in the United States following approval by the FDA of Abecma in March 2021 for the treatment of adults with multiple myeloma who have received at least four prior lines of therapy, including an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. On April 5, 2024 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), approved Abecma for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma after two or more prior lines of therapy.

On January 29, 2024, we began undertaking a strategic realignment to focus on the development and commercialization of Abecma. In connection with the strategic realignment, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Regeneron”) to sell to Regeneron substantially all of the assets related to our solid tumor and other oncology and autoimmune cell therapy programs, including the bbT369 program in B-NHL, SC-DARIC33 in AML, MUC16 in ovarian cancer, MAGE-A4, autoimmune, and several unnamed targets (the “Asset Sale”). Upon closing the transaction on April 1, 2024, Regeneron assumed all of the ongoing program infrastructure and personnel costs related to these programs.

We have incurred normal operating losses and have experienced negative operating cash flows for all historical periods presented. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss of $27.8 million and used $65.0 million of cash in operations. We expect to continue to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the near future.

As we continue to develop and seek to obtain regulatory approval for Abecma in earlier lines of therapy, expand site footprint, educate physicians on treatment sequencing and the emerging data supporting the use of BCMA-directed CAR Ts before other BCMA-targeted therapies, competitively differentiate Abecma’s real-world safety, efficacy and product reliability and predictability profile, continue to support the quality control of the LVV, manufacturing and the transition to suspension LVV, we expect to incur significant expenses. Accordingly, until we generate significant revenues from product sales, we may continue to seek to fund our operations through public or private equity or debt financings, strategic collaborations, or other sources. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to develop and commercialize Abecma. Refer to sections Liquidity and Capital Resources and Funding Requirements below for further discussion.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenue

Our revenues have been derived from collaboration arrangements and out-licensing arrangements, primarily related to our collaboration arrangement with BMS as part of which we are jointly commercializing Abecma in the United States. To date, all revenue we have recognized relating to the sale of products has been the collaboration revenue derived from commercial sales of Abecma by BMS, and we have not recognized any revenue from the sale of products by us.

We analyze our collaboration arrangements to assess whether they are within the scope of ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”), which includes determining whether such arrangements involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of such activities. This assessment is performed throughout the life of the arrangement based on changes in the responsibilities of all parties in the arrangement. For collaboration arrangements within the scope of ASC 808 that contain multiple elements, we first determine which elements of the collaboration are deemed to be within the scope of ASC 808 and those that are more reflective of a vendor-customer relationship and therefore within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606” or "ASC 606"). For those elements of the arrangement that are accounted for pursuant to Topic 606, we apply the five-step model prescribed in Topic 606. For elements of collaboration arrangements that are accounted for pursuant to ASC 808, an appropriate recognition method is determined and applied consistently, generally by analogy to Topic 606. In arrangements where we do not deem our collaborator to be our customer, payments to and from our collaborator are presented in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) based on the nature of the payments, as summarized in the table and further described below.


Nature of Payment						Statement of Operations Presentation
Our share of net profits in connection with commercialization of products						Collaborative arrangement revenue
Our share of net losses in connection with commercialization of products						Share of collaboration loss
Net reimbursement to us for research and development expenses						Collaborative arrangement revenue
Net reimbursement to the collaborator for research and development expenses						Research and development expense

Where the collaborator is the principal in the product sales, we recognize our share of any profits or losses, representing net product sales less cost of goods sold and shared commercial and other expenses, along with reimbursement by BMS of commercial costs incurred by the Company, in the period in which such underlying sales

occur and costs are incurred by the collaborator. We also recognize our share of costs arising from research and development activities performed by collaborators in the period our collaborators incur such expenses.

As we recognize revenue under our collaborative arrangements both within and outside the scope of Topic 606, we present revenue on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as follows: service revenue includes revenue from collaborative partners recognized within the scope of Topic 606 and collaborative arrangement revenue includes only revenue from collaborative partners recognized outside the scope of Topic 606.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, service revenue consisted of the following (in thousands):


	For the three months ended June 30,				For the six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
ide-cel ex-U.S. service revenue from BMS	$	2,634	$	2,988	$	4,835	$	9,111

Total service revenue	$	4,621	$	5,022	$	12,342	$	15,848

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, collaborative arrangement revenue consisted of the following (in thousands):


	For the three months ended June 30,				For the six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
U.S. Abecma collaboration with BMS	$	4,364	$	24,543	$	4,364	$	47,504
Collaboration with Regeneron (1)	(18)		4,491		4,696		10,902
Total collaborative arrangement revenue	$	4,346	$	29,034	$	9,060	$	58,406

(1) Amount for the three months ended June 30, 2024 represents an immaterial true-down relating to Regeneron collaboration arrangement revenue recognized during the first quarter of 2024. Following the closing of the Regeneron Transaction on April 1, 2024, there has been no additional revenue recognized related to the Regeneron Collaboration Agreement.

To date, Abecma is our only commercial product where the collaborator is the principal in the product sales and thus, all amounts shown within our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, (loss) for share of collaboration loss relate to Abecma. The tables below summarize the impact of the Abecma U.S. collaboration profit/loss share on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands).


	For the three months ended				For the six months ended
Abecma U.S. Collaboration Profit (Loss) Share	March 31, 2024		June 30, 2024		June 30, 2024

Total impact of Abecma U.S. collaboration profit (loss) on our statements of operations and comprehensive loss	$	20,202	$	22,001	$	42,203

(1) This calculation is performed on a quarterly basis and consists of our share of profits, net of our share of BMS costs for commercial activities, offset by reimbursement from BMS for our commercial activities. The calculation is independent of previous activity, which may result in fluctuations between revenue and expense recognition period over period.

Nonrefundable license fees are recognized as revenue upon delivery of the license provided there are no unsatisfied performance obligations in the arrangement. License revenue has historically been generated from out-license agreements, under which we may also recognize revenue from potential future milestone payments and royalties.

For arrangements with licenses of intellectual property that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, we recognize revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied.

Research and Development Expenses

Following the closing of the Novo and Regeneron Transactions, research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for the development of Abecma in collaboration with BMS. This includes costs associated with the following clinical studies:

•KarMMa study – an open label, single-arm, multi-center phase 2 study to examine the efficacy and safety of ide-cel in the treatment of patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. The costs incurred by BMS for this study are subject to the cost-sharing provisions of our BMS collaboration arrangement.

•KarMMa-2 study – a multi-cohort, open-label, multicenter phase 2 study to examine the safety and efficacy of ide-cel in the treatment of patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma and in high-risk multiple myeloma. The costs incurred by BMS for this study are subject to the cost-sharing provisions of our BMS collaboration arrangement.

•KarMMa-3 study – a multicenter, randomized, open-label phase 3 study comparing the efficacy and safety of ide-cel versus standard triplet regimens in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. The costs incurred by BMS for this study are subject to the cost-sharing provisions of our BMS collaboration arrangement.

•KarMMa-9 study – a multicenter, randomized, open-label phase 3 study comparing the efficacy and safety of ide-cel with Lenalidomide maintenance versus Lenalidomide maintenance therapy alone in adult participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who have suboptimal response after autologous stem cell transplantation. The costs incurred by BMS for this study are subject to the cost-sharing provisions of our BMS collaboration arrangement.

Additional research and development expenses include facilities, depreciation, and other expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, information technology, insurance, and other supplies in support of research and development activities.

Historical research and development expenses included costs for Abecma, as discussed above, as well as costs incurred for the development of product candidates that were sold to Regeneron and Novo in the second quarter of 2024. Information about the historical costs we incurred on these programs can be found in our previous Form 10-Q and Form 10-K filings.

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Costs for certain development activities are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information and data provided by vendors and clinical sites. We cannot determine with certainty the duration and completion costs of the current or future clinical studies of Abecma. The duration, costs, and timing of clinical studies and development of oAbecma will depend on a variety of factors, any of which could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of Abecma including:

•the scope, rate of progress, and expense of our ongoing as well as any additional clinical studies and other research and development activities we undertake;

•future clinical study results;

•uncertainties in clinical study enrollment rates;

•new manufacturing processes or protocols that we may choose to or be required to implement in the manufacture of our lentiviral vector or drug product;

•regulatory feedback on requirements for regulatory approval, as well as changing standards for regulatory approval; and

•the timing and receipt of any regulatory approvals.

Cost of Manufacturing for Commercial Collaboration

Cost of manufacturing for commercial collaboration consists of quality and other manufacturing costs incurred by us to support the manufacture of Abecma inventory sold by our collaborative partner, BMS, in both the U.S. and ex-U.S. regions. These costs are subject to the cost sharing arrangement under the terms of our collaboration agreement (the Amended Ide-cel CCPS) with BMS. For further information on the Amended Ide-cel CCPS, please refer to Note 11, Collaborative arrangements and strategic partnerships, in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The reimbursement from BMS for their share of our U.S. quality and other manufacturing costs is recorded as collaborative arrangement revenue or share of collaboration loss in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The reimbursement from BMS for our ex-U.S. quality and other manufacturing costs is recorded as service revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Restructuring expenses

Costs relating to both the September 2023 and January 2024 restructurings have been recorded as restructuring expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

In September 2023, we announced a restructuring plan (“2023 Restructuring Plan”) to conserve financial resources and better align our workforce with current business needs. As part of the 2023 Restructuring Plan, our workforce was reduced by approximately 40%, with substantially all of the reduction in personnel completed by December 31, 2023. In connection with the 2023 Restructuring Plan, we incurred one-time costs in the third quarter of 2023 relating to severance and retention packages and related benefits.

In January 2024, we announced a strategic path forward to focus exclusively on the commercialization and development of Abecma. In connection with our strategic re-alignment, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Regeneron to sell our oncology and autoimmune research and development programs, clinical manufacturing capabilities, and related platform technologies which closed on April 1, 2024. Approximately 62% of the workforce transitioned to Regeneron as a part of the sale. Additionally, as part of the strategic re-alignment, our board of directors approved a restructuring plan (the “2024 Restructuring Plan”) to further reduce our remaining workforce by approximately 14%. The 2024 Restructuring Plan is expected to be substantially complete by October 2024.

Additionally, during the second quarter of 2024, we recognized one-time expense of $5.4 million representing our share of costs associated with BMS’ early exit from a commercial manufacturing and supply agreement as a result of our transition to the use of suspension lentiviral vector in the manufacturing of Abecma. This was recorded within restructuring expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for personnel, including stock-based compensation and travel expenses for our employees in executive, operational, finance, legal, business development, commercial, information technology, and human resource functions. Other selling, general and administrative expenses include facility-related costs, insurance, IT costs, professional fees for accounting, tax, legal and consulting services, directors’ fees and expenses associated with obtaining and maintaining patents.

Share of Collaboration Loss

Share of collaboration loss represents our share of net loss arising from product sales less cost of goods sold and shared commercial costs and other expenses related to the commercialization of a product where the collaborator is the principal in the product sales.

Cost of Royalty and Other Revenue

Cost of royalty and other revenue represents expenses associated with amounts owed to third-party licensors as a result of revenue recognized under our out-license arrangements.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

On June 30, 2014, bluebird bio acquired Pregenen. All assets, liabilities and future obligations related to the Pregenen acquisition, including the resulting intangible assets, goodwill and contingent consideration, were assumed by us in connection with the separation. The agreement provided for up to $135.0 million in future contingent cash payments upon the achievement of certain preclinical, clinical and commercial milestones related to the Pregenen technology.

As of June 30, 2024, there were $99.9 million in future contingent cash payments related to commercial milestones. As of June 30, 2024, we determined the probability of milestone achievement to be zero and as a result reduced the fair value of contingent consideration, classified within other non-current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, to zero. Please refer to Note 5, Fair value measurements, for further information.

Gain on sale to Novo Nordisk

The gain on sale to Novo Nordisk consists of upfront cash consideration received for the Novo Transaction, less consideration received and deferred related to transition services, combined with the derecognition of deferred revenue remaining from the Novo Collaboration agreement.

Loss on assets held for sale to Regeneron

The loss on assets held for sale to Regeneron consists of fixed assets that ceased depreciation, measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net consists primarily of rental income from a third party, income recognized under our transition service agreements with bluebird bio, and sublease income from bluebird bio.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including expected business and operational changes, sensitivity and volatility associated with the assumptions used in developing estimates, and whether historical trends are expected to be representative of future trends. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In making estimates and judgments, management employs critical accounting policies. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no material changes to our significant

accounting policies as reported in our annual consolidated financial statements included in our 2023 annual report on Form 10-K, except as otherwise described in Note 2, Basis of presentation, principles of consolidation and significant accounting policies, in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue. Total revenue was $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $36.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of $27.1 million was primarily attributable to a decrease in collaborative arrangement revenue recognized under our collaboration arrangement with BMS, driven by decreased Abecma net sales. The decrease was also due to the termination of the Regeneron Collaboration Agreement concurrently with the close of the Asset Sale, which occurred on April 1, 2024.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were $16.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $60.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The overall decrease of $44.0 million was primarily attributable to the following:

•$19.8 million of decreased employee compensation costs, primarily resulting from the Asset Sale, as part of which a large portion of our research and development workforce transitioned to Regeneron. Additionally, there was a 40% reduction to our workforce as part of our restructuring in September 2023 and an additional reduction to our workforce initiated in January 2024;

•$12.5 million of decreased facilities and IT costs largely due to the Asset Sale, which resulted in Regeneron subleasing a significant portion of our current leased space in Cambridge and Seattle, reducing rent and associated facility costs. The remaining decrease is driven by the reduction to our workforce as part of our restructuring;

•$6.5 million of decreased material production costs, which were assumed by Regeneron as part of the Asset Sale; and

•$6.4 million of decreased lab expenses and other platform costs, primarily relating to a decrease in lab consumables relating to the Asset Sale.

These decreases were partially offset by $2.1 million of increased net research and development expenses recognized under our collaboration with BMS.

Cost of Manufacturing for Commercial Collaboration. Cost of manufacturing for commercial collaboration was $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of $0.2 million was primarily due to a decrease in quality testing performed by us on Abecma inventory during the second quarter of 2024.

Restructuring Expenses. The increase in restructuring expenses is primarily due to our share of one-time costs incurred during the second quarter of 2024 of $5.4 million associated with BMS’ early exit from a commercial manufacturing and supply agreement as a result of the transition to suspension lentiviral vector for Abecma. The remaining increase is attributable to costs incurred related to the reduction in our workforce as a part of our 2024 Restructuring Plan, initiated in January 2024 and expected to be completed by October 2024.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $19.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of $9.6 million was primarily due to the following:

•$7.1 million decrease primarily resulting from the 40% reduction to our workforce announced in September 2023 and the additional reduction to our workforce announced in January 2024;

•$2.3 million decrease in consulting and professional service fees; and

•$1.6 million decrease in costs associated with royalties accrued relating to a license agreement in the second quarter of 2023.

These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $1.9 million in facilities and IT costs allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses due to the sale of our oncology R&D pipeline to Regeneron.

Cost of Royalty and Other Revenue. There is no cost of royalty and other revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and total cost of royalty and other revenue was $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease is due to the royalty term ending relating to Breyanzi in August 2023.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration. The change in fair value of contingent consideration of $0.7 million was primarily due to the change in significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration, including the probabilities of successful achievement of clinical and commercial milestones and discount rates. As of June 30, 2024, we determined the probability of milestone achievement to be zero and as a result we reduced the fair value of the contingent consideration liability to zero.

Gain on sale to Novo Nordisk. In June 2024, the Company announced the completion of an asset purchase agreement with Novo Nordisk A/S. Please refer to Note 3, Asset purchase agreements, in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further detail regarding the gain on sale related to this transaction.

Loss on assets held for sale to Regeneron. The loss on assets held for sale consists of fixed assets that ceased depreciation, measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell.

Other Income, Net. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 other income, net primarily consisted of rental income and income recognized under our transition service agreements with Regeneron from the Regeneron Transaction. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, other income, net consisted of rental income and income recognized under our transition service agreements with bluebird bio.

Revenue. Total revenue was $21.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $77.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of $56.3 million was primarily attributable to a decrease in collaborative arrangement revenue recognized under our collaboration arrangement with BMS, driven by decreased Abecma net sales and higher BMS selling, general and administrative expenses. This resulted in a share of collaboration loss of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2024 and collaborative arrangement revenue of $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was also due to the termination of the Regeneron Collaboration Agreement concurrently with the close of the Asset Sale, which occurred on April 1, 2024.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were $59.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $128.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The overall decrease of $68.3 million was primarily attributable to the following:

•$28.4.million of decreased employee compensation costs, primarily resulting from the Asset Sale, as part of which a large portion of our research and development workforce transitioned to Regeneron. Additionally, there was a 40% reduction to our workforce as part of our restructuring in September 2023 and an additional reduction to our workforce initiated in January 2024;

•$19.8 million of decreased material production costs primarily related to decreased manufacturing activities of suspension lentiviral vector for ide-cel development in the first half of 2024 compared to the first half of

2023. The decrease is also attributable to decreased plasmids and cell bank manufacturing costs, which were assumed by Regeneron as part of the Regeneron Transaction beginning in the second quarter of 2024;

•$13.7 million of decreased facilities and IT costs largely due to the Asset Sale, which resulted in Regeneron subleasing a significant portion of our current leased space in Cambridge and Seattle, reducing rent and associated facility costs. The remaining decrease is driven by the reduction to our workforce as part of our restructuring;

•$6.1 million of decreased lab expenses and other platform costs. primarily relating to a decrease in lab consumables costs which were assumed by Regeneron as part of the Asset Sale beginning in the second quarter of 2024; and

•$3.1 million in decreased license and milestone fees associated with a milestone paid to Medigene in the first quarter of 2023 for the continued development of our MAGE-A4 TCR program in solid tumors, which was being developed as part of our collaboration with Regeneron.

These decreases were partially offset by a $3.2 million increase in net research and development expenses recognized under our collaboration with BMS.

Cost of Manufacturing for Commercial Collaboration. Cost of manufacturing for commercial collaboration was $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of $0.5 million was primarily due to a decrease in quality testing performed by us on Abecma inventory during the first half of 2024.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $22.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $40.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of $17.7 million was primarily due to the following:

•$13.3 million decrease primarily resulting from the 40% reduction in our workforce announced in September 2023 and the additional reduction to our workforce announced in January 2024; and

•$4.5 million decrease in costs associated with license agreement terminations and settlements.

These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $2.0 million in facilities and IT costs allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses due to the sale of our oncology R&D pipeline to Regeneron.

Share of Collaboration Loss. Share of collaboration loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 represents our share of net loss arising from the commercialization of Abecma under the BMS collaboration during the first quarter of 2024. The collaboration resulted in collaborative arrangement revenue during the second quarter of 2024.

Cost of Royalty and Other Revenue. There is no cost of royalty and other revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and total cost of royalty and other revenue was $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease is due to the royalty term ending relating to Breyanzi in August of 2023.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration. The change in fair value of contingent consideration of $2.5 million was primarily due to the change in significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration, including the probabilities of successful achievement of clinical and commercial

milestones and discount rates. As of June 30, 2024, we determined the probability of milestone achievement to be zero and as a result we reduced the fair value of the contingent consideration liability to zero.

Other Income, Net. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 other income, net primarily consisted of rental income and income recognized under our transition service agreements with Regeneron from the Regeneron Transaction. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, other income, net consisted of rental income and income recognized under our transition service agreements with bluebird bio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of approximately $201.9 million. Based on our current operating plans, including with respect to the ongoing commercialization of Abecma, we expect our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund current planned operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of filing these financial statements. Our current operating plan is based on various assumptions. If we use our capital resources sooner than expected, we would evaluate further reductions in expense or obtaining additional financing. This may include pursuing a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties. This may also include the potential sale of shares of our common stock of up to $150.0 million in gross proceeds under the ATM facility established in November 2022 with Cowen and Company, LLC. No sales of common stock have occurred under this ATM facility as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms, if at all, and some could be dilutive to existing stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, we may be forced to significantly curtail, delay, or discontinue one or more of our planned research or development programs or be unable to expand our operations.

We have incurred normal operating losses and have experienced negative operating cash flows for all periods presented. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred a loss of $27.8 million and used $65.0 million of cash in operations. We expect to continue to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the near future.

Sources of Liquidity

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity:


	For the six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023
	(in thousands)
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(65,019)	$	(81,751)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	100,271		(20,083)
Net cash provided by financing activities	362		127,212
Increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents	$	35,614	$	25,378

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $65.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and primarily consisted of a net loss of $27.8 million adjusted for non-cash items, including:

•gain on sale to Novo Nordisk of $48.0 million and loss on assets held for sale to Regeneron of $5.0 million;

•stock-based compensation of $7.1 million;

•depreciation and amortization of $3.8 million;

•change in fair value of contingent consideration of $2.4 million; and

•other non-cash items of $2.4 million, as well as the change in our net working capital.

Net cash used in operating activities was $81.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and primarily consisted of net loss of $89.1 million adjusted for non-cash items, including stock-based compensation of $17.4 million and depreciation and amortization of $4.5 million, and the change in fair value of contingent consideration of $0.1 million, as well as the change in our net working capital.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $100.3 million and was due to:

•proceeds from the Novo Transaction of $38.0 million and proceeds from the Regeneron Transaction of $5.0 million;

•proceeds from maturities of marketable securities of $80.5 million; and

•proceeds from maturities of restricted investments of $7.0 million;

These cash inflows were partially offset by the purchase of marketable securities of $21.4 million, the purchase of restricted investments of $8.3 million, and the purchase of property, plant and equipment of $0.7 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $20.1 million and was due to the purchase of marketable securities of $155.5 million, the purchase of restricted investments of $4.5 million, and the purchase of property, plant and equipment of $10.1 million, offset by proceeds from maturities of marketable securities of $145.5 million and proceeds from the maturities of restricted investments of $4.5 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.4 million and was primarily due to net proceeds relating to the exercise of stock options and ESPP contributions.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $127.2 million and was primarily due to net proceeds received of $117.0 million from the issuance of common stock in a public offering in March 2023 along with net proceeds of $9.9 million from the issuance of common stock to Regeneron from the January 2023 Share Purchase Agreement.

Funding Requirements

We intend to incur costs in support of the advancement of Abecma into earlier lines of therapy and in support of the ongoing commercialization of Abecma pursuant to our cost sharing arrangements with BMS, other capital expenditures, working capital requirements, and other general corporate activities.

Based on our current operating plans, including with respect to the ongoing commercialization of Abecma, we expect that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund current planned operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of filing these financial statements. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of Abecma, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our working capital requirements. The scope of our future funding requirements will depend on, and could increase significantly as a result of, many factors, including:

▪the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory approvals for Abecma in earlier lines of therapy;

▪the costs of activities, including clinical trials, sales, marketing, medical affairs, manufacturing and distribution, for Abecma;

▪the cost and timing of hiring new employees or contractors to support our activities;

▪the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims; and

▪the timing, receipt and amount of sales of, or milestone payments related to or royalties on Abecma, if any.

A change in the outcome of any of these or other variables could significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development and commercialization of Abecma. Further, our operating plans may change in the future, and we may need additional funds to meet operational needs and capital requirements associated with such operating plans.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate positive operating cash flows, we may need to finance our operations through a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, this could result in dilution and could adversely affect the rights of common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants that limit our ability to take specified actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. In addition, debt financing would result in increased fixed payment obligations.

If we raise funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or any future product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development for additional indications and earlier line settings of Abecma or future commercialization efforts.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

In connection with the Regeneron Transaction, Regeneron agreed to sublease our facilities in Seattle, Washington and a portion of our facilities in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The expected sublease income will cover a majority of the future minimum commitments through 2027. Please refer to Note 8, Leases, in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in the Form 10-Q for further information regarding our future minimum commitments under ASC 842 under our operating leases and Note 3, Asset Purchase Agreements, for further information on the closing on the transaction with Regeneron. Additionally, 2seventy bio was party to various contracts with contract research organizations and contract manufacturers that generally provide for termination on notice, with the exact amounts in the event of termination to be based on the timing of the termination and the terms of the agreement. The majority of these contracts were assumed by Regeneron upon or after closing of the Regeneron Transaction. For any contracts remaining, other than a decrease in committed spend due to the payment of these obligations in the normal course of business, there have been no other material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments as included in our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2023 annual report on Form 10-K.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 permits an “emerging growth company” such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected not to “opt out” of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we will adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard and will do so until such time that we either (i) irrevocably elect to “opt out” of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualify as an emerging growth company. We may

choose to early adopt any new or revised accounting standards whenever such early adoption is permitted for private companies.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate fluctuation risk

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $201.9 million, primarily invested in U.S. government agency securities and treasuries and commercial paper. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly because our investments are in short-term securities. Our available for sale securities are subject to interest rate risk and will fall in value if market interest rates increase. If market interest rates were to increase immediately and uniformly by 100 basis points, or one percentage point, from levels at June 30, 2024, the net fair value of our interest-sensitive marketable securities and restricted investments would have resulted in a hypothetical decline of $0.5 million.

Foreign currency fluctuation risk

We are not currently exposed to significant market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates; however, we have contracted with and may continue to contract with foreign vendors. Our operations may be subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in the future.

Inflation fluctuation risk

Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor and operating expenses. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, we may experience some effect in the near future (especially if inflation rates continue to rise) due to an impact on the costs to conduct clinical trials, labor costs we incur to attract and retain qualified personnel, and other operational costs, inflationary costs could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reporting within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not a party to any material legal proceedings at this time. From time to time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in the section captioned “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the section captioned “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. The risks described in our annual report on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

None

Item 5. Other Information

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, none of the directors or executive officers of the Company adopted, terminated or materially modified a trading plan intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 or a trading plan not intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1.

2.4 Assignment of Certain Transferred Assets; Regeneron Transferred Contracts.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in the Transition Service Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement for Seller to sell, convey, assign, transfer, or deliver to Buyer any Transferred Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom or for Buyer to purchase, acquire, or receive any Transferred Asset or to enter into or fulfil its obligations under the Transaction Agreements if an attempted sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery thereof, or an agreement to do any of the foregoing, without the consent, authorization or approval of a Third Party (including any Governmental Authority), would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or a violation of Law. For clarity, any Contract that would otherwise constitute a Transferred Contract, or other asset that would otherwise constitute a Transferred Asset, but is not assignable or transferable as contemplated in this Section 2.4(a) (each, a “Non-Transferable Asset”) shall not be deemed a Transferred Asset; provided, however, that following Seller’s receipt of the relevant consent, authorization, or approval, as applicable, Seller shall promptly assign or transfer to Seller the Non-Transferable Asset, and such asset shall thereafter be deemed a “Transferred Asset” for purposes of this Agreement. Schedule 2.4(a) sets forth a list of the Non-Transferable Assets identified by the Parties as of the date hereof.

(b) If, on the Closing Date, any such consent, authorization, or approval is not obtained, or if an attempted sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer, or delivery thereof would constitute a breach of contract, then Seller shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent, authorization, or approval to transfer such Non-Transferable Asset to Buyer for a period not to exceed one

(1) years from the Closing Date; provided, that in no event shall either Party be required to make any payments to Third Parties in connection with obtaining such consent, authorization or approval to transfer such Non-Transferable Asset to Buyer, and during such period in which Seller attempts to obtain such consent, authorization, or approval, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an arrangement under which Buyer (or its Affiliates) would, in compliance with Law, obtain the benefits of, and assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with, such Non- Transferable Asset, claim, right, or benefit in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sublicensing, or subleasing to Buyer (or its Affiliates), or under which Seller would (i) enforce for the benefit of Buyer (or its Affiliates), and at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, any and all of its or their rights

against a Third Party associated with such Non-Transferable Asset, claim, right, or benefit, and (ii) promptly pay to Buyer (or its Affiliates), when received, all monies received by it or them under any such Transferred Asset, claim, right, or benefit, and Buyer (or its Affiliates) would assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated therewith. At any time after Closing if Seller receives the consents required to transfer any Non-Transferable Asset to Buyer, then Seller shall transfer and convey such Non-Transferable Asset to Buyer without payment of any additional consideration by Buyer.

(c) Schedule 2.4(c) sets forth each Contract transferred to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. pursuant to the Regeneron APA and pursuant to which any Third Party provided services related to the Business, other than any IT Assets or Contracts related to any equipment transferred to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (each, a “Regeneron Transferred Contract”). Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in good faith in respect of Buyer’s efforts to enter into a new contract or agreement with the counterparty to any Regeneron Transferred Contract until the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing.

(d) Until the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing, with respect to each Shared Contract, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in good faith in respect of Buyer’s efforts to enter into a new contract or agreement with the counterparty to any Shared Contract to the extent such Shared Contract relates to the Business; provided, however, that in no event shall Seller or its Subsidiaries be required to assign a portion of any Shared Contract to Buyer or make any payments to Third Parties in connection therewith.

2.5 Delivery. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Buyer, as applicable, all of the Transferred Assets (other than any Non-Transferable Assets or any Transferred Assets not in Seller’s possession or control) to a location designated in writing by Buyer prior to the Closing Date at Buyer’s sole cost and expense and with respect to Transferred Regulatory Documentation and Transferred Records, in a readable format reasonably acceptable to Buyer; provided, however, that if any such cost or expense shall be incurred by Seller, Buyer shall, subject to the receipt of satisfactory evidence of Seller’s payment thereof, promptly reimburse Seller for the amount of such costs and expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, prior to providing copies of any documentation or other written materials included in the Transferred Assets, Seller and any of its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to redact or remove any information related to, held for use with, or used in connection with an Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability or the conduct of Seller’s other businesses, including the Excluded Program, with all costs associated with such redactions, separation of documentation or written materials, or removal of information to be borne exclusively by Seller.

ARTICLE 3.

PURCHASE PRICE

(i) at the Closing, a cash amount equal to the Closing Payment and (ii) subject to the terms of Article 8 and any charge off thereunder, on the one (1) year anniversary of Closing, the remaining Holdback Amount, subject to Section 8.6, if any, in each case by bank wire transfer to an account designated in writing by Seller.

3.2 Withholding. Buyer or any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from all amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement all Taxes that Buyer or any other applicable withholding agent is required to deduct and withhold under applicable Law. In the event that

Buyer determines that withholding is required under applicable Law (other than as a result of any failure to satisfy the obligation set forth in Section 4.2(e) or as a result of any applicable amount being treated as compensatory for applicable income Tax purposes), Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice to Seller within [***] Business Days prior to the Closing or to any subsequent date on which the applicable payment is to be made to provide Seller with an opportunity to provide any form or documentation or to take such other steps to reduce or eliminate such withholding. To the extent such amounts are so deducted and withheld, they shall be timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, and to the extent so paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority such amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, any transaction bonuses or other compensatory amounts subject to payroll withholding and reporting will be paid through the applicable payroll system in accordance with applicable payroll procedures.

3.3 Additional Payments. Seller acknowledges that Buyer has not participated in, and takes no position with respect to, Seller’s determination of whether, and to what extent, any payments are owed by Seller under any Shared IP Contract as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If any Shared IP Contract is terminated due to a breach by Seller and Buyer is required to cure any default of Seller to the applicable Third Party as of the effective date of termination of such Shared IP Contract in order to become or remain a direct licensee of such Third Party thereunder or remain a sublicensee of Seller, or perfect the grant of the sublicense, in each case under such Shared IP Contract, then Buyer shall have the right to seek indemnification in respect of any Losses suffered in connection with the cure of such breach in accordance with the terms of Article 8 hereof.

The Receiving Party will (and will ensure that any Recipient to which it discloses the Confidential Information will) only use the Confidential Information for the purposes of performing its obligations and exercising its rights under the Transaction Agreements and for no other purpose; provided that, with respect to the Shared Confidential Information, (i) Seller will also have the right to use such Confidential Information in the conduct of the Excluded Program, the transactions contemplated by the Regeneron APA or any other programs initiated by Seller (to the extent consistent with the rights retained by Seller under such Shared Confidential Information and not in conflict with the rights granted to Buyer under the License Agreement) and (ii) Buyer will also have the right to use such Confidential Information to the extent consistent with the rights granted to Buyer pursuant to the License Agreement. All obligations of confidentiality, non-use, and non-disclosure under this Agreement will be in full force and effect from the date hereof and will survive for a period of [***] after the Closing, provided that, with respect to any Know-How that is a trade secret, the obligations of this Section 7.2 will continue for so long as such Know-How remains a trade secret.

(c) Disclosures Required by Law. The restrictions set forth in this Section 7.2 will not apply to any Confidential Information that the Receiving Party is required to disclose under applicable Law or a court order or other governmental order or pursuant to the rules of any stock exchange; provided that the Receiving Party:

(i) provides the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of such disclosure requirement if legally permitted, (ii) affords the Disclosing Party an adequate opportunity to oppose, limit, or secure confidential treatment for such required disclosure to the extent available and, if applicable, as required pursuant to Section 9.3, and (iii) if the Disclosing Party is unsuccessful in its efforts pursuant to subsection (ii), discloses only that portion of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party is legally required to disclose as advised by the Receiving Party’s legal counsel.

(d) Existing Confidentiality Agreement. Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement shall be subject to the terms of this Section 7.2, the License Agreement, or the Transition Services Agreement, in each case, to the extent applicable. To the extent there is any conflict between this Section 7.2 and the Confidentiality Agreement, this Section 7.2 shall supersede. Buyer shall cause its Affiliates (including [***]) to comply with the terms of this Section 7.2.

(e) Disclosure to Potential Strategic Partners. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, each Party will have the right to disclose the existence and applicable terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case, to actual or bona fide potential investors, acquirors, licensees, sublicensees, lenders, and other financial or commercial partners, and their respective attorneys, accountants, banks, investors, and advisors, solely for the purpose of evaluating or carrying out an actual or potential investment, acquisition, debt transaction, sublicense, or collaboration (the “Authorized Purpose”); provided that, in each such case, (i) any such disclosure is necessary for the Authorized Purpose; (ii) such Persons are bound by obligations of confidentiality, non-disclosure, and non-use provisions at least as restrictive or protective of the Parties as those set forth in this Agreement or otherwise customary for such type and scope of disclosure, (iii) any such disclosure is limited to the maximum extent practicable for the particular context in which it is being disclosed, and (iv) the term of such confidentiality obligation is consistent with industry standards, but in all cases at least [***].

7.3 Insurance. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, upon Closing, all insurance coverage provided under Seller’s insurance policies or otherwise to the extent related to the Transferred Assets pursuant to policies, risk funding programs or arrangements maintained by Seller or by any Subsidiary of Seller (whether such policies are maintained in whole or in part with Third Party insurers or with Seller or its Subsidiaries and including any captive policies or fronting arrangements, and including any “occurrence” based insurance policies provided in relation to Seller and its Subsidiaries with respect to any occurrences prior to the Closing) shall cease solely to the extent related to the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities. Seller acknowledges and agrees that, following Closing, Seller shall maintain commercially reasonable insurance coverage for its business and operations.

7.4 Books and Records. Subject to compliance with Section 7.2, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall have the right to retain copies of all Transferred Records relating to periods ending on or prior to the Closing and Shared Confidential Information, in each case to the extent required by Law or bona fide internal compliance or document retention policies.

7.5 Transfer and Assumption of Regulatory Commitments. From and after the Closing Date, Buyer will assume control of, and responsibility for all costs and Liabilities arising from or related to

any Transferred Regulatory Documentation other than any Excluded Liabilities, including any commitments or obligations to any Governmental Authority involving the Transferred Assets arising solely after the Closing Date. At the Closing, Seller shall transfer the exclusive benefit of the Regulatory Authorizations to Buyer on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.5. As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event within [***] Business Days following the Closing, Seller shall make such notifications or filings with applicable Governmental Authorities as may be necessary to effect the transfer of each of the Regulatory Authorizations to Buyer. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in supplying information or assistance in Buyer’s fulfillment of its obligations under this Section 7.5.

7.6 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) Cooperation. Buyer and Seller shall fully cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return and the defense of any Tax Contest, in each case, relating to any of the megaTAL Platform, Hemophilia Program, Product or the Transferred Assets or arising from the transactions contemplated hereby, and the preparation of the Allocation Statement until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations or extensions thereof. Such cooperation shall include, upon the other Party’s reasonable request, providing information and records that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Contest or the Allocation Statement and making available employees on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer and Seller shall retain all Tax books and records and abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority, in each case, relating to the Transferred Assets for any Pre-Closing Tax Period until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations or extensions thereof.

(b) Transfer Taxes. Seller and Buyer [***] of all stamp, documentary, filing, recording, registration, license, sales, use, transfer, excise, value added, and other similar Taxes incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) and Seller shall prepare and timely file any Tax Returns in connection therewith.

(c) Proration of Taxes. For purpose of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, (i) the amount of any Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) based on or measured by income, gain, receipts, activities, or payroll, and any withholding Taxes, for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date; provided that, in determining such amount, all allowances, deductions, or exemptions that are calculated on a periodic basis shall be taken into account on a prorated basis as described in clause (ii) below; and (ii) the amount of any other Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) that are imposed on a periodic basis (including property, ad valorem, and similar Taxes) for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding Tax period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which shall be the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. No later than [***] Business Days before the due date of any Tax Return relating to the Transferred Assets for any Straddle Period, the other Party shall pay to the Party responsible

for remitting any Tax for any Straddle Period the amount of any Taxes shown on such Tax Return for which such other Party is responsible.

(d) Allocation of Purchase Price. Attached hereto as Schedule 7.6(d) is the Parties’ mutually agreed upon allocation methodology for allocating the Purchase Price, the Assumed Liabilities, and any other items treated as consideration among the Transferred Assets for federal income Tax purposes. Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller, within [***] days following the Closing Date, a schedule setting forth the allocation of the Purchase Price (and other relevant amounts, including Assumed Liabilities, to the extent properly treated as consideration for

U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes) among each of the Transferred Assets (the “Allocation Statement”). The Allocation Statement shall be prepared in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and any corresponding or similar provision of state or local Tax Law) and Schedule 7.6(d) to the extent it is consistent with the foregoing. Seller shall provide Buyer, within [***] days following Seller’s receipt of the Allocation Statement, any comments on the Allocation Statement and Buyer shall consider for inclusion any such reasonable comments in good faith, provided that Buyer’s allocation shall prevail in case of disagreement between the Parties. If Seller does not provide Buyer with any comments on the Allocation Statement within [***] day period, then the Allocation Statement shall be deemed final. If the Purchase Price (or other relevant amounts, including Assumed Liabilities, to the extent properly treated as consideration for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes) is adjusted following the initial determination of the Allocation Statement pursuant to this Section 7.6(d), then the Parties shall cooperate to update the Allocation Statement accordingly pursuant to the procedures and terms set forth in this Section 7.6(d). The Allocation Statement as finally determined pursuant to this Section 7.6(d) shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties for all purposes, and the Parties shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594 and any amendments thereto, to the extent required under applicable Law for Buyer) and reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation Statement and shall not take any position (whether in Tax Returns, Tax Contests, or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Allocation Statement, unless required in connection with the settlement or compromise of any audit or other proceeding with respect to income Taxes or otherwise required by applicable Law.

7.7 Bulk Sales. The Parties hereby waive compliance with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer Laws in connection with the sale of the Transferred Assets to Buyer.

7.8 Further Assurances.

(a) Without limiting the Transition Services Agreement, from time to time after the Closing, and for no further consideration, each of Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such documents and other instruments and take, or cause to be taken, such further actions as may be reasonably required or reasonably requested by the other Party to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(b) Without limiting the Transition Services Agreement, from time to time following the Closing, and for no further consideration, Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all reasonable further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and acquittances and instruments, and shall take such reasonable actions as may be necessary or appropriate, to make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements as may be reasonably requested by the other Party. If, for any reason after the Closing, any asset transferred to Buyer or an Affiliate is ultimately determined to be an Excluded Asset or Buyer is found to be in possession of any Excluded Asset, in each case, then (i) Buyer will promptly notify Seller and return or transfer and convey (without further consideration) to Seller, and Seller will accept, such asset; (ii) Seller will assume and agree to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge (without further consideration) any Excluded Liabilities associated with such Excluded Asset as contemplated in this Agreement; and (iii) Buyer and Seller will promptly execute such documents or instruments of conveyance or assumption and take such further actions that are reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the transfer of such asset back to Seller and, until such time, to the extent necessary and applicable, Buyer hereby grants to Seller an irrevocable, global, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use such right or asset until such transfer is effective. If, for any reason after the Closing, any asset retained by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries is ultimately determined to be a Transferred Asset or Seller or any of its Subsidiaries is found to be in possession of any Transferred Asset, then (A) Seller or such Subsidiary will promptly notify Buyer and transfer and convey (without further consideration) to Buyer, and Buyer will accept, such asset; (B) Buyer will assume and agree to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge (without further consideration) any Assumed Liabilities associated with such asset as contemplated in this Agreement; and

(C) Buyer and Seller will promptly execute such documents or instruments of conveyance or assumption and take such further actions that are reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the transfer of such asset to Buyer and, until such time, to the extent necessary and applicable, Seller hereby grants to Buyer an irrevocable, global, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use such right or asset until such transfer is effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any costs or expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the transfer of any Excluded Asset to Seller that was incorrectly transferred by Seller to Buyer (including any costs incurred by Buyer in the initial transfer of such Excluded Asset to Buyer).

7.9 Existing Collaboration Agreement; Release of Claims.

(a) Effective as of the Closing, the Existing Collaboration Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, except as set forth on Schedule 7.9 hereto.

(b) Effective as of the Closing, each Party, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and its and their legal representatives, successors and assigns (each a “Releasor”), hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the other Party, such other Party’s Affiliates and each of their respective representatives, equityholders, partners, members and agents (each, a “Releasee”) of, from and against any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages, losses, judgments, debts, dues and suits of every kind, nature and description whatsoever (collectively “Claims”) which such Releasor or its

legal representatives, successors or assigns ever had, now has or may have on or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever prior to the Closing resulting from, arising out of or relating to the Existing Collaboration Agreement. Each Releasor agrees not to, and agrees to cause its respective Affiliates not to, assert any Claim against any of the Releasees with respect thereto. Except for any Claims resulting from, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the foregoing release includes a release of any rights and benefits with respect to such Claims that the Releasor now has or in the future may have conferred upon it by virtue of any statute or common law principle that provides that a general release does not extend to claims that a Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, if knowledge of such claims would have materially affected such Party’s settlement with the obligor. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Releasor hereby acknowledges that it is aware that factual matters now unknown to it may have given or may hereafter give rise to Claims that are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and it further agrees that this release has been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that awareness and it nevertheless hereby intends to release the Releasees from any such Claims described in the first sentence of this Section 7.9(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Releasor and its respective legal representatives, successors and assigns retains, and does not release, its rights and interests to the extent set forth on Schedule 7.9. For the avoidance of doubt, the release set forth in this Section 7.9 shall not include any Claims resulting from, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

ARTICLE 8.

INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Survival.

(a) Notwithstanding any applicable statutes of limitations, which the Parties intend to modify as set forth in this Section 8.1, all of the representations, warranties, covenants, and other agreements, in each case, contained in this Agreement, or in any instrument or certificate delivered by any Party at Closing, shall survive the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all representations, warranties, covenants, and other agreements made herein or in any instrument or certificate delivered pursuant hereto, and all indemnification obligations under Section 8.2(a), Section 8.2(b), Section 8.2(c), Section 8.3(a), and Section 8.3(b) with respect to any such representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements, shall (i) in the case of any such representations or warranties (other than the Seller Fundamental Representations, Buyer Fundamental Representations, Specified Representations or with respect to any Claims arising from, in connection with, or related to Fraud), or any of such covenants that by its terms was to be performed prior to the Closing, terminate and expire on, and no action or proceeding seeking damages or other relief for breach of or for any misrepresentation or inaccuracy with respect thereto, shall be commenced after, the date that is [***] after the Closing Date; (ii) in the case of any Seller Fundamental Representations or any Buyer Fundamental Representations, terminate and expire on, and no Proceeding seeking damages or other relief for

breach of or for any misrepresentation or inaccuracy with respect thereto, shall be commenced after, the date that is the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, as extended, plus a period of [***]; (iii) in the case of the Specified Representations and Buyer’s rights under Section 3.3, terminate and expire on, and no Proceeding seeking damages or other relief for breach of or for any misrepresentation or inaccuracy with respect thereto, shall be commenced after, the date that is [***] after the Closing Date and (iv) in the case of any covenant or agreement that by its terms applies or is to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing, terminate and expire on, and no Proceeding seeking damages or other relief for breach of any thereof shall be commenced after, the date that is [***] after the last date on which such covenant or agreement is to be fully performed, including for such covenants and agreements in which no date is specified. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of Buyer and Seller may bring an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 8.2(c) or Section 8.3(c), respectively, at any time prior to the date that is [***] following the Closing.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to Section 8.1(a) if written notice of the breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnification shall have been given at or prior to the time at which such representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement would have otherwise expired pursuant to Section 8.1(a).

8.2 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the provisions of this Article 8, Seller hereby agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, Seller shall defend and indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, Representatives, successors, and assigns (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) against, and hold them harmless from, and pay and reimburse such parties for, any and all Losses to the extent such Losses arise from, are connected with, or relate to any of the following:

(a) any breach of (i) any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or certificate delivered by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement (provided, that, for the purposes of determining whether there has been a breach of any such representation or warranty, any qualifications as to “material,” “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” and variations of any of the foregoing shall be disregarded) or (ii) any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller prior to the Closing contained in this Agreement;

(b) any breach by Seller of any of its covenants, agreements, or obligations to be performed following the Closing contained in this Agreement, the License Agreement or the FTO Side Letter; or

8.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the provisions of this Article 8, Buyer hereby agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall defend and indemnify Seller and its Affiliates and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, Representatives, successors, and assigns (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against, and hold them harmless from, and pay and reimburse such parties for, any and all Losses to the extent such Losses arise from, are connected with, or relate to any of the following:

(a) any breach of (i) any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or certificate delivered by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Agreement (provided, that, for the purposes of determining whether there has been a breach of any such representation or warranty, any qualifications as to “material” or “materiality” and variations of any of the foregoing shall be disregarded) or (ii) any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer prior to the Closing contained in this Agreement;

(b) any breach by Buyer of any of its covenants, agreements, or obligations to be performed following the Closing contained in this Agreement, the License Agreement or the FTO Side Letter; or

8.4 Limitations.

(a) The amount of any Losses for which either Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, is liable under this Article 8 shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds actually paid to the Indemnified Party (as defined herein) less the reasonable costs (including Taxes) of receiving such recovery including any deductible paid in obtaining such proceeds and increased cost of insurance.

(b) No Party shall be required to indemnify any Person under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.3(a) (other than with respect to any claim arising from, in connection with or to the extent related to (i) Fraud, (ii) any breach of a Seller Fundamental Representation or Buyer Fundamental Representation, (iii) any breach of a Specified Representation or (iv) any Excluded Liability or any Assumed Liability, as applicable) for (A) an individual claim for Losses [***] or (B) an aggregate amount of Losses exceeding an amount equal to the Holdback Amount. Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Person under Section 8.2(a) solely with respect to the Specified Representations for an aggregate amount of Losses exceeding an amount equal to [***]. In addition, no Party will be required to indemnify any Person under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.3(a) solely with respect to any breach of any Seller Fundamental Representation or Buyer Fundamental Representation (other than with respect to any claim arising from, in connection with, or related to Fraud or any Excluded Liability or Assumed Liability, as applicable, in each case the aggregate liability for which shall be unlimited) for an aggregate amount of Losses exceeding an amount equal to [***].

(c) Any amounts payable pursuant to this Article 8 shall be paid without duplication, and in no event shall any Party be indemnified under different provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement for the same Losses.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Buyer Indemnified Parties may seek indemnification under this Article VIII for any breach by Seller under the License Agreement only during the Holdback Period and, with respect to any time after the Holdback Period, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall only seek indemnification against the Seller in respect of any breach by Seller under the License Agreement pursuant to the applicable terms

in the License Agreement. For clarity, following the Holdback Period, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have no recourse under this Agreement for any breach by Seller under the License Agreement. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 8.4(d), if a claim is made for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII for a breach by Seller under the License Agreement following the Closing, then the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not make any indemnification claims under the License Agreement in respect of the same Losses that are based upon the same causes or actions from which such indemnification claim arose under this Agreement (notwithstanding that such claim may result from more than one of the occurrences specified in Section 8.2 of this Agreement or Section 5.6 of the License Agreement).

(e) The right of the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties under this Article 8 shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, with respect to matters covered hereunder, including third party claims relating to the Transferred Assets, Assumed Liabilities, or Excluded Liabilities (it being agreed that (i) this Article 8 shall not limit the Parties’ rights to equitable remedies, including an injunction or specific performance, their respective remedies under the Ancillary Agreements (except as otherwise set forth herein or therein),

(ii) nothing herein shall limit the liability of any Party hereto for Fraud), and

(iii) except to the extent Buyer’s ability to simultaneously seek recourse under this Agreement and the License Agreement is limited by Section 8.4(d), nothing herein shall operate as a cap on indemnifiable Losses, or otherwise limit the indemnification liability of any Party, under the License Agreement.

8.5 Procedure.

(a) Other than with respect to Third Party Claims, which shall be governed by the remainder of this Section 8.5, any Person seeking indemnification provided for under this Article 8 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall so notify the indemnifying party as promptly as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of the existence of such claim. Each such notice shall be in writing and shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for the claim for indemnification hereunder and set forth, to the extent known, the estimated amount of the Losses for which indemnification may be sought hereunder and, to the extent practicable, the method of computation thereof; provided that failure to give such notice shall not affect the right to indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party has been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification provided for under this Article 8 in respect of, arising out of, or involving a claim made by any Person (other than a Party hereto) against an Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the Third Party Claim; provided that failure to give such notice shall not affect the right to indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party has been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, as promptly as reasonably practicable following such Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all written notices and documents (including any court papers) received by such Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(c) If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, then the indemnifying party shall be entitled at its election, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within [***] of receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim from the Indemnified Party, and its cost to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the indemnifying party that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided that, the indemnifying party has unconditionally acknowledged to the Indemnified Party in writing its obligation to indemnify the Persons to be indemnified hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim and to discharge any cost or expense arising out of such investigation, contest, or settlement. If the indemnifying party assumes such defense, then the Indemnified Party shall nonetheless have the right to employ counsel separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party; provided that the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any fees of such separate counsel with respect to the defense of such Third Party Claim, unless the employment and reimbursement of such separate counsel is authorized by the indemnifying party in writing; provided, further, that if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or there exists a conflict of interest between the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, then the indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to such Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines counsel is required (provided, however, that in no event shall the indemnifying party be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys in each jurisdiction for all Indemnified Parties). If the indemnifying party does not assume such defense, and for any period during which the indemnifying party has not assumed such defense, then the indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one single counsel (in addition to reasonable and documented fees and expenses of local counsel required in jurisdictions not central to the Third Party Claim) employed (and reasonably acceptable to the indemnifying party) by such Indemnified Party (which reasonable and documented fees and expenses shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement). If the indemnifying party chooses to defend a Third Party Claim or prosecute a claim in connection therewith, then each Indemnified Party shall provide all cooperation as is reasonably requested by the indemnifying party in such defense or prosecution.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.5, the indemnifying party may not settle, compromise or discharge, or make any reasonable admission of liability with respect to, such Third Party Claim other than for money damages only without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, subject to the indemnifying party paying or causing to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement and obtaining and delivering to the Indemnified Party, prior to the execution of such settlement, an unconditional full and complete written release from all Liability with respect to the underlying action, circumstances, and claims giving rise to such Third Party Claim by the applicable Person to the Indemnified Party, prepared and executed by all Persons bringing such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying Party shall give the Indemnified Party advance written notice of any proposed compromise or settlement and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified

Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), consent to or enter into any compromise or settlement which respect to such Third Party Claim that (i) commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action, or (ii) involves a finding or admission of (A) any violation of Law by the Indemnified Party (or any Affiliate thereof) or (B) any Liability on the part of the Indemnified Party (or any Affiliate thereof) not indemnified hereunder. An Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or discharge any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is being or may be sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

(e) An indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume or continue control of the defense of any Third Party Claim if the Third Party Claim (i) relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, or (ii) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party.

8.6 Payments; Holdback Charge-off and Release.

(a) Subject to Section 8.4, once a Loss is agreed by the Parties or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article 8, the indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within [***] Business Days of such agreement or final, non- appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided, however, that where Seller is the indemnifying Party and such agreement or final- non-appealable adjudication occurs within the [***] anniversary of the Closing (the “Holdback Period”), upon written notice to Seller, pursuant to Section 8.6(c) below, Buyer shall be entitled to satisfy such Loss first through reduction of the Holdback Amount. For clarity, subject to Section 8.4, to the extent any agreed or finally-adjudicated Loss payable by Seller pursuant to this Article 8 exceeds the Holdback Amount, Seller shall be responsible for satisfying such Loss in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 8.6. Subject to Section 8.4, the Parties agree that any delinquent amount payable pursuant to this Article 8 shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to [***]. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding.

(b) Promptly following the expiration of the Holdback Period, Buyer shall disburse to Seller the then remaining portion of the Holdback Amount, less the aggregate amount subject to any pending claims previously made by any Buyer Indemnified Party during the Holdback Period. Any remaining Holdback Amount subject to any such pending claim shall be disbursed by Buyer to Seller promptly following the final adjudication of such pending claim.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during the Holdback Period the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall first seek satisfaction for any Losses for which indemnification is available hereunder under Section 8.2 out of the Holdback Amount until all of the Holdback Amount is exhausted.

8.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Seller and Buyer agree to treat any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Article 8 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. income Tax purposes, unless otherwise required under applicable Law.

9.3 Public Announcements. Seller shall issue the press release attached hereto as Schedule 9.3 (the “Press Release”) at a mutually agreed time and reasonably promptly following the Closing, but in no event later than the time by which disclosure of the transactions contemplated by this

Agreement may be required by Law or the rules and regulation of any national securities exchange upon which the securities of either Party are listed (such time, the “Disclosure Time”, and such disclosure, the “Required Disclosure”). Other than the Press Release and any Required Disclosure, and subject to the terms of this Section 9.3, no Party shall issue or originate any publicity, press release, or make any public announcement, written or oral, with respect to any of the Transaction Agreements without the prior written consent of the other Party (whether such other Party is named in such publicity, press release, or other public announcement or not); provided that no Party will be required to obtain the prior approval of or consult with the other Party in connection with any such press release or public announcement made after release of the Press Release if such press release or public announcement consists solely of information previously disclosed in all material respects in the Press Release or a previously distributed press release or public announcement made in accordance with this Section 9.3. To the extent a Party has any Required Disclosure, (i) such Party shall, to the extent legally permissible, consult in good faith with the other Party before making any such Required Disclosure and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to incorporate the reasonable comments timely made by the other Party in good faith and (ii) such Party shall not make the Required Disclosure prior to the release of the Press Release, unless the Press Release has not been released by one hour prior to the Disclosure Time. If either Party, based on the advice of its counsel, determines that this Agreement, or any of the other Transaction Agreements, must be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or any other similar Governmental Authority, then such Party, prior to making any such filing, shall provide the other Party and its counsel with a redacted version of this Agreement (and any other Transaction Agreement) which it intends to file and any draft correspondence with the SEC (or such other Governmental Authority, as applicable) requesting the confidential treatment by the SEC (or such other Governmental Authority, as applicable) of those redacted sections of this Agreement, and will give due consideration to any comments timely provided by the other Party or its counsel and use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the confidential treatment by the SEC (or such other Governmental Authority, as applicable) of those sections specified by the other Party or its counsel.

9.4 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced under any applicable Law or as a matter of public policy, then all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. If the final judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority declares that any term or other provision hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then (a) such provision shall be fully severable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom, and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid, and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and reasonably acceptable to the Parties.

9.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and signature pages may be delivered by portable document format (PDF), DocuSign or any other electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, and any other applicable Law, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Party, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart.

9.6 Entire Agreement; Construction. This Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements (and all exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto) and the Confidentiality Agreement collectively constitute and contain the entire agreement and understanding of Seller and Buyer with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior negotiations, correspondence, understandings, agreements, and contracts, whether written or oral, between the Parties and thereto respecting the subject matter hereof and

thereof. In the event and to the extent that there is a conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and any Schedule hereto, this Agreement shall control unless expressly provided for otherwise in such Schedule. In addition, if and to the extent that there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement, then each Ancillary Agreement shall control with respect to the subject matter thereof and this Agreement shall control with respect to all other matters.

9.7 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by either Party, without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that (a) Buyer may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its controlled Affiliates, (b) Buyer may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to a Third Party in connection with the sale, disposition, or exclusive license of any Product, the Hemophilia Program or the megaTAL Platform, and (c) either Party may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a successor in interest in connection with the merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or that portion of its business pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement; provided that, in each case, no such assignment shall release a Party from any Liability or obligation under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 9.7 shall be void ab initio. This Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

9.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries; Affiliates. Except as expressly provided for herein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Persons specifically named in the preamble to this Agreement as Parties and their permitted successors and assigns, no Party hereto is acting as an agent for any other Person not named herein as a party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreements, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Each Party will be responsible for ensuring that its Affiliates act in accordance with its obligations under this Agreement.

9.9 Amendment; Waiver. No provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement may be amended, supplemented, or modified, including any schedules thereto, except by a written instrument making specific reference hereto or thereto signed by Seller and Buyer. Either Seller or Buyer may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other acts of the other Party,

(b) waive any breaches or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or (c) waive compliance with any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Agreement, but such waiver of compliance with any such covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. Any such waiver shall be in a written instrument duly executed by the waiving Party. No failure on the part of either Buyer or Seller to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under any Transaction Agreement except as expressly set forth in this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

9.10 Schedules. Any disclosure with respect to a Section of this Agreement, including any Section of the Seller Disclosure Schedules attached hereto or delivered herewith, shall be deemed to be disclosed for purposes of other Sections of this Agreement, including any Section of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, to the extent that the relevance of such disclosure would be reasonably apparent on its face. No reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in any Section of the Seller Disclosure Schedules shall be construed as an admission of Liability or an indication that such item or other matter is material or that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no such reference to or disclosure of a possible breach or violation of any

Contract, Law, or Governmental Order shall be construed as an admission or indication that breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

9.11 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

(a) This Agreement and, unless otherwise specified therein, each other Transaction Agreement and all Proceedings (whether at Law, in contract, tort or otherwise, or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement (including the applicable statute of limitations), or any other Transaction Agreement or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement, or the inducement of any party to enter into this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise, and whether now existing or hereafter arising (each, a “Transaction Dispute”), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed in such State without giving effect to any Law or rule that would cause the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware to be applied.

(b) The Parties agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 9.11 shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving any Transaction Dispute.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.11, in the event of any Transaction Dispute, the Parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve such Transaction Dispute by negotiation and consultation between themselves. In the event that such Transaction Dispute is not resolved on such an informal basis within [***] days, each Party may, in its discretion, seek resolution of the Transaction Dispute in accordance with Section 9.11(d) below, provided that such Transaction Dispute is not an “Excluded Claim,” which will be resolved in accordance with Section 9.11(e).

(d) Arbitration.

(i) Any unresolved Transaction Dispute that had been subject to, and exhausted the procedures of, Section 9.11(c) and that is not an Excluded Claim shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration by the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) administered in accordance with the Rules of ICC in effect as of the Closing Date, and applying the substantive law specified in Section 9.11(a). Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The obligation to arbitrate under this Section 9.11(d) shall extend to any claims by or against the Parties and their respective Affiliates and any agents, principals, officers, directors, or employees of either of the Parties or their respective Affiliates.

(ii) The Transaction Dispute arbitration shall be conducted by three (3) arbitrators experienced in the business of pharmaceuticals. Within [***] days after initiation of arbitration, the Parties shall select the arbitrators. Buyer, on the one hand, shall select one arbitrator and Seller, on the other hand, shall select one arbitrator (or, if either Party fails to make a choice, the ICC shall select one arbitrator on behalf of such Party) and the two arbitrators selected by the Parties will mutually select a third

arbitrator (or, if they fail to make or agree on a choice, the ICC shall select a third arbitrator). In making their Transaction Dispute resolution determination, the arbitrators shall not have the authority to modify any term or provision of this Agreement. A majority consensus decision by any two of the arbitrators shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The place of arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware, United States, and all proceedings and communications shall be in English.

(iii) A Party that needs urgent interim or conservatory measures that cannot await the constitution of an arbitral tribunal may make an application for such measures pursuant to the ICC’s Emergency Arbitrator Rules. Once the arbitrators are in place, either Party may apply to the arbitrators for interim or conservatory measures until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved, and either Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce such interim or conservatory measures granted by the arbitrators. Any final award by the arbitrators may be entered by either Party in any court having appropriate jurisdiction for a judicial recognition of the decision and applicable orders of enforcement. The arbitrators may render early or summary disposition of some or all Transaction Dispute issues, after the Parties have had a reasonable opportunity to make submissions on those issues.

(iv) Except to the extent necessary to confirm an award or as may be required by applicable Law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of a Transaction Dispute arbitration without the prior written consent of both Parties.

(e) As used in this Section 9.11, the term “Excluded Claim” means any dispute, controversy, or claim: (a) that concerns the validity, enforceability, misappropriation, or infringement of any Intellectual Property; (b) that concerns any applicable Law regarding antitrust, anti-monopoly or competition, whether or not statutory; or (c) in respect of which a Party seeks equitable or other relief pursuant to Section 9.12. The Parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery for the purposes of any Excluded Claims arising out of this Agreement. Each Party agrees to commence any Excluded Claim relating hereto in the Delaware Court of Chancery or if such Excluded Claim may not be brought in such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 9.2 shall be effective service of process for any Excluded Claim in Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 9.11(e) any Excluded Claim arising out of this Agreement in the courts described above, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and shall not assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Excluded Claim, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the courts described above, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Excluded Claim is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Excluded Claim is improper, or that this Agreement, with respect to any Excluded Claim arising hereunder, may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.

9.12 Specific Performance. Each Party hereto acknowledges and agrees that irreparable damage would occur, damages would be difficult to determine and would be an insufficient remedy and no adequate remedy other than specific performance might exist at Law or in equity in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Therefore, it is agreed that each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at Law or in equity. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative with and not exclusive of and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement, or at Law or in equity or otherwise, and the exercise by a Party hereto of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach or that Seller or Buyer otherwise have an adequate remedy at Law.

9.13 No Duplication; No Double Recovery. Nothing in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is intended to confer to or impose upon any Party a duplicative right, entitlement, obligation, or recovery with respect to any matter arising out of the same facts and circumstances.

9.14 No Cross Breach. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 8.2(b) and Section 8.4, no default under, or breach or termination of, any Transaction Agreement, shall in and of itself cause a default or breach under this Agreement.

9.15 Rules of Construction. Interpretation of this Agreement (except as specifically provided in this Agreement, in which case such specified rules of construction shall govern with respect to this Agreement) shall be governed by the following rules of construction: (a) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires; (b) references to the terms Article, Section, and paragraph are references to the Articles, Sections and paragraphs to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (c) the terms “hereof”, “herein”, “hereby”, “hereto” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, including the schedules hereto; (d) the word “including” and words of similar import shall mean “including without limitation,” unless otherwise specified; (e) the word “or” shall not be exclusive unless clearly indicated and the occasional inclusion of “and/or” will not change this interpretation; (f) provisions that require that a Party, or the Parties “agree,” “consent,” “approve,” or the like will require that such agreement, consent, or approval be specific and in writing, whether by written agreement, letter, or otherwise (including e-mail, but excluding instant messaging); (g) provisions shall apply, when appropriate, to successive events and transactions; (h) the headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement; (i) Seller and Buyer have each participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and if an ambiguity or question of interpretation should arise, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or burdening any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions in this Agreement; (j) a reference to any Person includes such Person’s permitted successors and permitted assigns; (k) any reference to “days” means calendar days unless Business Days are expressly specified; (l) when calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and, if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day; (m) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each of the representations and warranties of the Parties set forth herein shall be deemed to have been made as of the date such representation and warranty is made hereunder; (n) the word “will” shall have the same meaning as “shall”; and (o) “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase does not mean

simply “if”. Further, prior drafts of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements or the fact that any clauses have been added, deleted or otherwise modified from any prior drafts of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements shall not be used as an aid of construction or otherwise constitute evidence of the intent of the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto by virtue of such prior drafts.

9.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY TRANSACTION DISPUTE. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.16.

9.17 No Reliance. Each Party is not relying, and each Party has not relied, on any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article 5 and Article 6 of this Agreement, as applicable. Such representations and warranties by the Parties constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and each Party understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature whether express, implied or statutory are specifically disclaimed by the other Party.
