Under the terms of the agreement, Esteve will pay the Company €4 million up front to license the rights to Increlex for up to ten years, and Esteve is also receiving an option to acquire the international rights in the future for a purchase price of up to €6 million. Eton will supply product to Esteve at a fixed transfer price, and the transaction does not impact the Company’s expectation to exit 2025 at an approximately $80 million annual revenue run rate.
