Our license and collaboration agreement with Qilu Pharmaceutical would not have adverse impact on our Core Product or other drug candidates, considering that: (i) the exclusive license granted to Qilu Pharmaceutical covers only the patents and know-how specifically related to RBD7022 and RBD7022 Products. While the agreement provides for “treatment, prevention and diagnosis of all human diseases,” RBD7022’s therapeutic scope is inherently limited as it specifically targets PCSK9 to regulate cholesterol metabolism through RNA interference technology; and (ii) the license allowing Qilu Pharmaceutical to utilize the patents and know-how of our RiboGalSTAR^TM^ and RSC platform technologies is non-exclusive and does not prevent us from utilizing these technologies for the development of our Core Product and other drug candidates.

Our license and collaboration agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim would not have adverse impact on our Core Product or other drug candidates, as the license granted to Boehringer Ingelheim is limited to exploiting only the specific compounds and products identified under the agreement.
