No dose limiting toxicity was observed and the MTD was not reached. Full saturation of circulating and cell-bound CD73 achieved at doses ≥10 mg/kg. Linear PK profile at the doses ≥10 mg/kg following a single dose and supports Q3W dosing. Evidence of clinical activity following treatment with TJ4309 and Tecentriq. TRACON is entitled to revenue sharing of royalty and non-royalty consideration received by I-Mab for territories outside China, ranging from a high-single digit to mid-teen % of non-royalty consideration as well as double digit % of royalty consideration I-Mab has indicated their desire to exercise their option to terminate the TJ4309 license following completion of the Phase 1 trial for a payment to TRACON of $9M Phase 1 Solid Tumors with Tecentriq

Slide 28

I-Mab Disputes and Arbitration I-Mab commenced arbitration in June 2020, after TRACON invoked contractual dispute resolution provisions asserting that I-Mab had breached its contractual obligations concerning the TJ4309 and Bispecifc Antibody Agreements entered into in November 2018. TRACON filed counterclaims in the arbitration seeking to recover over $200 million in damages from I-Mab based on the alleged breaches. Under the applicable rules of the arbitration the prevailing party may also be awarded attorneys’ fees at the Tribunal’s discretion. In February 2022 arguments for alleged breaches of both agreements with I-Mab were heard before an International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) arbitration tribunal under New York law, and the final post-hearing briefs were submitted to the Tribunal in May 2022. On June 2, the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC notified us to expect a final decision by September 30th. In September, the ICC notified us to expect a final decision by November 30th. On November 8, the Tribunal invited the parties to submit an additional, limited briefing on two discrete issues by December 9. Following that submission, the parties are to agree on a schedule for their respective cost submissions. The Tribunal did not indicate when it expects to render its award; however, the Tribunal did note they are far along in their deliberations and preparation of a final award, and we expect the Tribunal to provide their final award in 1Q 2023. TRACON continues to meet our obligations under the terms of both agreements. In December 2022, TRACON entered into an up to $30M non-recourse non-dilutive funding agreement related to the arbitration. $3.5M was funded at close and the remainder will be available subject to the award exceeding a threshold and other conditions.
