The agreement includes a 'Key Man' provision linked to the CEO, which was extended until **December 31, 2027**[61](index=61&type=chunk)[62](index=62&type=chunk) - The Psilocybin (Arbormentis) license agreement involved a **$12.7 million upfront payment** (cash and warrants) and includes potential milestone payments up to **$160 million** plus low single-digit royalties[65](index=65&type=chunk) [Government Regulation](index=14&type=section&id=Government%20Regulation) The company's products are subject to extensive FDA and DEA regulations, covering R&D, clinical trials, and post-market surveillance, with esmethadone and psilocybin classified as controlled substances - The FDA approval process involves preclinical testing and three sequential phases of clinical trials to establish safety and effectiveness before an NDA can be submitted[70](index=70&type=chunk)[75](index=75&type=chunk) - Esmethadone received **Fast Track Designation** from the FDA for the treatment of MDD, which may facilitate development and expedite review[30](index=30&type=chunk)[83](index=83&type=chunk) - Esmethadone is currently a **Schedule II controlled substance**, and psilocybin is a **Schedule I substance**. Both are subject to strict regulation by the DEA, including manufacturing quotas, registration, security, and recordkeeping requirements[101](index=101&type=chunk)[105](index=105&type=chunk) - The company's operations will be subject to healthcare fraud and abuse laws, such as the Anti-Kickback Statute and the False Claims Act, and pricing regulations like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)[110](index=110&type=chunk)[111](index=111&type=chunk)[117](index=117&type=chunk) [Human Capital](index=26&type=section&id=Human%20Capital) As of December 31, 2023, Relmada had 20 employees, with approximately 60% female, and its performance-based compensation strategy showed no meaningful pay disparities in a 2023 review - The company had a total of **20 employees** as of December 31, 2023[121](index=121&type=chunk) - The employee population was approximately **60% female** as of year-end 2023[122](index=122&type=chunk) - Compensation includes base pay and performance-based annual bonuses.

Future profitability is uncertain and dependent on successful commercialization and significant revenue generation[148](index=148&type=chunk) - **Third-Party Reliance Risk:** Relmada relies on third parties for manufacturing and conducting clinical trials. Any failure by these parties to perform adequately could delay or derail development programs and regulatory approval[229](index=229&type=chunk)[234](index=234&type=chunk) [Unresolved Staff Comments](index=62&type=section&id=Item%201B.%20Unresolved%20Staff%20Comments) The company reports no unresolved staff comments -
