Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 4, 2023, SomaLogic Operating Co., Inc. (“SomaLogic OpCo”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SomaLogic, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into Amendment #2 to Master Collaboration Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Novartis Pharma AG (“Novartis”). The Amendment amends the Master Collaboration Agreement, dated as of September 20, 2019, by and between SomaLogic OpCo and Novartis, as amended by the First Amendment, dated June 15, 2021 (collectively, the “Collaboration Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties engage in collaborative research efforts to advance the study of proteomic medicine and SomaLogic OpCo provides SomaScan® assay services to Novartis.

 

The Amendment modifies the Collaboration Agreement, among other ways, as follows:

 

It extends the term of the Collaboration Agreement for the Company to remain Novartis’ primary proteomics platform provider through December 31, 2033.

   
 The Amendment permits all data generated from samples submitted after the satisfaction of all Projected Annual Minimums (as defined in the Collaboration Agreement) due on December 31, 2022 (the “Satisfaction Date”) to be disclosed and sublicensed by Novartis to any Novartis Collaboration Partner (as defined in the Collaboration Agreement) without any additional obligation to SomaLogic OpCo.

  

For services performed after the Satisfaction Date, it increases the fees Novartis and its affiliates pay for samples provided by the Company and specifies that Novartis will provide SomaLogic OpCo with rolling, non-binding forecasts of its assay requirements on a quarterly basis.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
