On December 29, 2025 (the “Effective Date”) the Company and NJS Foresight Bio-Advisory, LLC (“NJS”) entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “NJS Agreement,” together with the Thesprogen Agreement, the “Agreements”) pursuant to which NJS will provide advisory and business development services to the Company focused on the identification, introduction and support of potential licensing partners in connection with the out-licensing of the Company’s asset portfolio. The NJS Agreement is for a term of twelve months, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, and contains customary representations and warranties. As consideration for NJS’s services, CDT has agreed to pay a one-time fixed retainer of $150,000 on the Effective Date (the “Initial Retainer”) and a commission fee for each out-licensing transaction, partnership or definitive agreement (each, a “Transaction”) executed by the Company during the twelve-month period following the Effective Date equal to 8% of the total announced value, defined as the total aggregate value of the deal as publicly announced or as stipulated in the definitive licensing agreement, of each Transaction (the “Commission Fee”). In addition, CDT has agreed to pay NJS a Commission Fee for any Transaction executed during the twelve-month period immediately following the termination of the NJS Agreement only if the Transaction partner was first introduced by NJS during the term of the NJS Agreement and the Transaction was initiated and materially negotiated by NJS during the term of the NJS Agreement. Pursuant to the NJS Agreement, the Initial Retainer and any Commission Fees are payable in cash or common stock at the Company’s election. On the Effective Date, in exchange for the Initial Retainer, CDT issued to NJS 104,896 shares of Common Stock (the “NJS Shares”) valued at the closing price of the Common Stock immediately preceding execution of the NJS Agreement.
