The contingent consideration arrangement relating to the acquisition of CellPoint required us to pay the former owners of CellPoint additional considerations up to €100.0 million. This amount was due when certain sequential development (€20.0 million), regulatory (€30.0 million) and sales-based (€50.0 million) milestones would have been achieved. Total fair value at December 31, 2024, of these milestones amounted to €20.6 million.

The fair value measurement was based on significant inputs that were not observable in the market, which were classified as Level 3 inputs. Key assumptions in the valuation at December 31, 2024 included an appropriate discount rate, an appropriate probability of success of reaching these milestones and expected timing of these milestones, in line with the timelines and probabilities used in our impairment test of the CAR-T business.

Since acquisition date changes were made to the discount rate and the expected timing of the milestones. The only impact until the third quarter of 2025 that was recognized compared to the date of acquisition was the discounting effect. This was recognized on the line “Other financial income/Other financial expenses”.

As a consequence of the wind-down of the cell therapy activities, this contingent consideration payable was derecognized, the fair value gain in 2025 of €21.8 million was included in the line “Other operating income” in our income statement.

We refer to note 35 “Financial Risk Management” for more information on the financial risk management.

CAR-T
Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (also known as CAR-T cells) are T cells that have been genetically engineered to produce an artificial T cell receptor for use in immunotherapy
Cell therapy
Cell therapy aims to treat diseases by restoring or altering certain sets of cells or by using cells to carry a therapy through the body. With cell therapy, cells are cultivated or modified outside the body before being injected into the patient. The cells may originate from the patient (autologous cells) or a donor (allogeneic cells)
Milestone
Major achievement in a project or program; in our alliances, this is usually associated with a payment
