Amendment to Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement
On March 30, 2026, ImmunityBio, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Second Amendment to Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the purchasers party thereto (the “Purchasers”) and Infinity SA LLC, as collateral agent and administrative agent for the Purchasers (the “Agent”), which amends that certain Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement dated as of December 29, 2023, by and among the Company, the Purchasers and the Agent (as amended, modified and supplemented prior to the date of the Amendment, the “RIPA”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Purchasers acquired additional revenue interests (“Revenue Interests”) from the Company for a gross purchase price of $75.0 million (the “Third Payment”) paid at the closing of the Amendment.
As a result of the purchase of the additional Revenue Interests from the Company, the Purchasers have a right to receive quarterly payments (“Revenue Interest Payments”) from the Company based on net sales of the Company’s products during such quarter, which payment amount, pursuant to the Amendment, was increased to a tiered range of 5.625% to 12.50% (before funding of the Third Payment, 4.5% to 10.0%) of the Company’s net sales across the entire world, excluding the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong and any territories controlled by the People’s Republic of China (the “Covered Territory”); provided that (a) if the aggregate Revenue Interest Payments made to the Purchasers as of the last business day of 2029 (the “Test Date”) equal or exceed $375.0 million (the “Cumulative Purchaser Payments”) as of the Test Date, the tiered revenue interest rate will be decreased to a single rate of 2.8125% (before the funding of the Third Payment, 2.25%) of the Company’s net sales in the Covered Territory, and (b) if the aggregate Revenue Interest Payments made to the Purchasers as of the Test Date do not equal or exceed the aggregate amount of Cumulative Purchaser Payments as of the Test Date, then as of and following the Test Date, the initially tiered revenue interest rate will be increased for all subsequent calendar years to a single defined rate that, had such increased rate applied to the applicable tiered rate during the period from the Closing Date through and including the Test Date, it would have resulted in the Purchasers having received aggregate Revenue Interest Payments (excluding certain payments detailed in the RIPA) in an amount equal to the Cumulative Purchaser Payments as of the Test Date.
The Purchasers’ rights to receive the Revenue Interest Payments shall terminate on the date on which the Purchasers have received Revenue Interest Payments in an aggregate amount equal to 195% of the then Cumulative Purchaser Payments, unless, in certain situations detailed in the RIPA, the RIPA is terminated prior to such date.
The proceeds of the Third Payment will be used for general corporate purposes, including payment of transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Amendment and related RIPA documentation.
The Company’s obligations under the RIPA, as amended by the Amendment, are guaranteed by certain of its subsidiaries. To secure the Company’s obligations under the RIPA, amended by the Amendment, and the subsidiary guarantors’ obligations under the guarantees, each of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors has granted a security interest in substantially all its assets, subject to certain exceptions and limitations.
The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Amendment, does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment that is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
