Theranexus, a biopharmaceutical company innovating in the treatment of rare neurological diseases, and Exeltis, a global pharmaceutical company and part of the Insud Pharma group, are pleased to announce the execution of a license and supply agreement to commercialize Theranexus' TX01, a novel formulation of a compound already approved in the indication for the treatment of rare neurological diseases.

Under the terms of the agreement, Exeltis will acquire exclusive rights to market and distribute Theranexus' proprietary product across key regions, including the European Union, UK, Latin America, and selected Middle Eastern countries. This collaboration will target both Gaucher and Niemann-Pick type C diseases. The agreement includes a 2 M€ upfront payment to Theranexus and aggregated development and commercial milestone payments. Theranexus will also receive tiered double-digit royalties on Exeltis' net sales, reflecting the anticipated growth and impact of this novel therapeutic approach. Whole or part of the upfront and development milestones already paid at that time may be refunded to Exeltis should Theranexus not provide the documentation to support filing of a market approval application by October 31^st, 2025.
