Item 1.01

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 11, 2022, Lantheus Two, LLC (“Lantheus Two”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a license and collaboration agreement (the “PNT-2002 License Agreement”) with an affiliate of POINT Biopharma Global Inc. (“POINT”), to co-develop and commercialize PNT-2002, a prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy for the treatment of metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. (“LMI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, will guarantee Lantheus Two’s obligations under the PNT-2002 License Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the PNT-2002 License Agreement, POINT has granted to Lantheus Two exclusive rights to develop and commercialize PNT-2002 worldwide, except certain countries in Asia (the “Territory”). The parties’ collaboration is governed through an executive steering committee and joint functional steering committees. The effectiveness of the transactions contemplated under the PNT-2002 License Agreement are subject to specified conditions, including the expiration or early termination of any waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”).

POINT is generally responsible for funding and development activities required for U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of PNT-2002, including generating all clinical and nonclinical data, analysis and other information, and Lantheus Two is responsible for preparing for and seeking regulatory approval for PNT-2002, as well as performing and funding all future development and commercialization of PNT-2002 following such approval. POINT will be responsible for all manufacturing of PNT-2002, subject to certain exceptions described in the PNT-2002 License Agreement.

Under the terms of the PNT-2002 License Agreement, Lantheus Two will pay POINT an upfront cash payment of $250 million within five business days after the PNT-2002 License Agreement becomes effective, with the potential for up to an additional $281 million in milestone payments upon the achievement of specified U.S. and ex-U.S. regulatory milestones related to PNT-2002. POINT is also eligible to receive up to $1.28 billion in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual sales thresholds of PNT-2002. In addition, after Lantheus Two achieves $500 million in cumulative Gross Profit, POINT is eligible to receive royalty payments of twenty percent of net sales of PNT-2002 in the Territory. Prior to achieving that financial recoupment threshold, POINT is eligible to receive royalty payments of twenty percent on that portion of annual net sales of PNT-2002 in the Territory that generate annual gross profit in excess of specified levels.

The PNT-2002 License Agreement will remain in effect, unless terminated earlier, until the expiration of all royalty terms for PNT-2002 in the Territory. The PNT-2002 License Agreement may be terminated for cause by either party based on uncured material breach of the other party or bankruptcy of the other party. The PNT-2002 License Agreement may be terminated prior to becoming effective upon the failure of certain closing conditions or upon notice from either party if the PNT-2002 License Agreement has not been consummated on or prior to June 30, 2023, which date Lantheus Two may extend to August 30, 2023 upon payment of an extension fee. Lantheus Two may terminate the PNT-2002 License Agreement without cause on specified notice periods, subject to the passage of time and specified milestones or triggers. Upon early termination by either party, all licenses granted by the parties will automatically terminate.

The description of the PNT-2002 License Agreement in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the PNT-2002 License Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 8.01

Other Events

Also on November 11, 2022, Lantheus Three, LLC (“Lantheus Three” and, together with Lantheus Two, “Lantheus LLC”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a license and collaboration agreement (the “PNT-2003 License Agreement” and, together with the PNT-2002 License Agreement, the “License Agreements”) with POINT to co-develop and commercialize PNT-2003, a somatostatin receptor targeted radioligand (“SSTR”) therapy with non-carrier added lutetium-177, which is in development to treat patients with SSTR-positive neuroendocrine tumors. LMI will guarantee Lantheus Three’s obligations under the PNT-2003 License Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the PNT-2003 License Agreement, POINT has granted to Lantheus Three exclusive rights to develop and commercialize PNT-2003 in the Territory. The parties’ collaboration is governed through an executive steering committee and joint functional steering committees. The effectiveness of the transactions contemplated under the PNT-2003 License Agreement are subject to specified conditions, including the expiration or early termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act.

POINT is responsible for curating all data, analysis and other information necessary for regulatory approval, and supporting Lantheus in the preparation of regulatory filings for PNT-2003, and Lantheus Three is responsible for preparing for and seeking regulatory approval of all such applications, as well as performing and funding all future development and commercialization of PNT-2003 following such approval. POINT will be responsible for all manufacturing of PNT-2003, subject to certain exceptions described in the PNT-2003 License Agreement.

Under the terms of the PNT-2003 License Agreement, Lantheus Three will pay POINT an upfront cash payment of $10 million within five business days after the PNT-2003 License Agreement becomes effective, with the potential for up to an additional $34.5 million in milestone payments upon the achievement of specified U.S. and ex-U.S. regulatory milestones related to PNT-2003. POINT is also eligible to receive up to $275 million in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual sales thresholds of PNT-2003. In addition, POINT is eligible to receive royalty payments of fifteen percent of net sales of PNT-2003 in the Territory.

The PNT-2003 License Agreement will remain in effect, unless terminated earlier, until the expiration of all royalty terms for PNT-2003 in the Territory. The PNT-2003 License Agreement may be terminated for cause by either party based on uncured material breach of the other party or bankruptcy of the other party. The PNT-2003 License Agreement may be terminated prior to becoming effective upon the failure of certain closing conditions or upon notice from either party if the PNT-2003 License Agreement has not been consummated on or prior to June 30, 2023, which date Lantheus Three may extend to August 30, 2023 at its option. At any time after filing the first application for obtaining market authorization for PNT-2003 with the FDA, Lantheus Three may terminate the PNT-2003 License Agreement without cause on 30 days’ prior written notice. Upon early termination by either party, all licenses granted by the parties will automatically terminate.

The description of the PNT-2003 License Agreement in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the PNT-2003 License Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated by reference herein.
