Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 14, 2026 (the “Amendment Date”), Context Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to that certain License Agreement, dated September 23, 2024, by and between the Company and BioAtla, Inc. (“BioAtla”) (the “Original License Agreement”). As previously disclosed, pursuant to the Original License Agreement the Company obtained exclusive rights to certain antibody assets, including a Nectin cell adhesion protein 4 x CD3 T cell engaging bispecific antibody currently being developed by the Company as CT-202. Pursuant to the Amendment, among other things, the Company agreed to pay BioAtla $4.5 million within five business days of the Amendment Date and an additional $2.0 million by August 1, 2026. The Amendment also modified the Company’s rights under the Original License Agreement such that the exclusive licenses granted with respect to the licensed antibodies, including CT-202, are irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up and non-terminable. The Amendment also eliminated (i) the Company’s research and development and certain reporting obligations regarding the licensed antibodies and (ii) BioAtla’s rights to terminate the License Agreement. As a result of the Amendment, BioAtla is not entitled to receive future milestone payments or royalties under the Original License Agreement with respect to the licensed antibodies.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
