As part of the deal, Zydus will pay Agenus $75 million in cash for the transfer of biologics manufacturing facilities in California and will make a $16 million equity investment. Additionally, Agenus is eligible for up to $50 million in milestone payments and will receive a 5% royalty on net sales of BOT and BAL in India and Sri Lanka, where Zydus will hold exclusive development and commercialization rights.
