Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of Seagen Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively “Seagen,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Management has determined that we operate in one segment: the development and sale of pharmaceutical products on our own behalf or in collaboration with others. Substantially all of our assets and revenues are related to operations in the U.S.; however, we have multiple subsidiaries in foreign jurisdictions, including several subsidiaries in Europe.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2020 were derived from audited financial statements not included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, for unaudited condensed consolidated financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of our financial position and results of our operations as of and for the periods presented.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of our operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other interim period.
Non-cash activities
We had $8.1 million and $6.0 million of accrued capital expenditures as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Accrued capital expenditures are treated as a non-cash investing activity and, accordingly, have not been included in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows until such amounts have been paid in cash.
Investments
We hold certain equity securities which are reported at estimated fair value based on quoted market prices. Changes in the fair value of equity securities are recorded in income or loss. The cost of equity securities for purposes of computing gains and losses is based on the specific identification method.
We invest our available cash primarily in debt securities. These debt securities are classified as available-for-sale, which are reported at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains, realized losses and declines in the value of debt securities judged to be other-than-temporary are included in investment and other income (loss), net. The cost of debt securities for purposes of computing realized and unrealized gains and losses is based on the specific identification method. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on debt securities are included in investment and other income (loss), net. Interest and dividends earned are included in investment and other income (loss), net. Accrued interest receivable as of March 31, 2021, was $7.6 million, and was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets. We classify investments in debt securities maturing within one year of the reporting date, or where management’s intent is to use the investments to fund current operations or to make them available for current operations, as short-term investments.
If the estimated fair value of a debt security is below its carrying value, we evaluate whether it is more likely than not that we will sell the security before its anticipated recovery in market value and whether evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs evidence to the contrary. We also evaluate whether or not we intend to sell the investment. If the impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary, the security is written down to its estimated fair value. In addition, we consider whether credit losses exist for any securities. A credit loss exists if the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security. Other-than-temporary declines in estimated fair value and credit losses are included in investment and other income (loss), net.

Intangible assets, net
Our intangible assets are primarily comprised of acquired TUKYSA technology from the acquisition of Cascadian Therapeutics, Inc. in 2018. Upon FDA approval and commercial launch of TUKYSA in April 2020, we classified in-process research and development costs related to the acquired TUKYSA technology as finite-lived intangible assets. Prior to April 2020, our finite-lived intangible assets consisted of certain in-licensed ADCETRIS technology. Amortization expense of $5.7 million and $0 million related to acquired TUKYSA technology costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was included in cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization of our finite-lived intangible assets was $305.7 million and $27.7 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2021, and the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization of our finite-lived intangible assets was $305.7 million and $22.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020. The weighted average remaining useful life of our finite-lived intangible assets was 12 years as of March 31, 2021, and estimated future amortization expense related to acquired TUKYSA is $17.4 million for the nine months ending December 31, 2021, and TUKYSA technology costs is $23.1 million for each of the years ending December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2026.
Revenue recognition - Net product sales
We sell ADCETRIS, PADCEV and TUKYSA primarily through a limited number of specialty distributors and specialty pharmacies in the U.S. We and our collaboration partner Astellas Pharma, Inc. or Astellas jointly promote PADCEV in the U.S. Under the joint promotion in the U.S., we record net sales of PADCEV and are responsible for all distribution through a limited number of specialty distributors. The delivery of our products represents a single performance obligation for these transactions and we record net product sales at the point in time when title and risk of loss pass. The transaction price for net product sales represents the amount we expect to receive, which is net of estimated government-mandated rebates and chargebacks, distribution fees, estimated product returns, and other deductions. Accruals are established for these deductions, and actual amounts incurred are offset against applicable accruals. We reflect these accruals as either a reduction in the related account receivable from the distributor or as an accrued liability, depending on the nature of the sales deduction. Sales deductions are based on management’s estimates that consider payor mix in target markets and experience to-date. These estimates involve a substantial degree of judgment. We have applied a portfolio approach as a practical expedient for estimating net product sales.
Outside of the U.S., the transaction price for net product sales represents the amount we expect to receive, which is net of estimated discounts, estimated government mandated rebates, distribution fees, estimated product returns, and other deductions. Accruals are established for these deductions, and actual amounts incurred are offset against applicable accruals. These estimates involve judgment in estimating net product sales.
Government-mandated rebates and chargebacks: We have entered into a Medicaid Drug Rebate Agreement, or MDRA, with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This agreement provides for a rebate based on covered purchases of our products. Medicaid rebates are invoiced to us by the various state Medicaid programs. We estimate Medicaid rebates using the expected value approach, based on a variety of factors, including payor mix and our experience to-date.
We have a Federal Supply Schedule, or FSS, agreement under which certain U.S. government purchasers receive a discount on eligible purchases of our products. In addition, we have entered into a Pharmaceutical Pricing Agreement with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, which enables certain entities that qualify for government pricing under the Public Health Services Act, or PHS, to receive discounts on their qualified purchases of our products. Under these agreements, distributors process a chargeback to us for the difference between wholesale acquisition cost and the applicable discounted price. We estimate expected chargebacks for FSS and PHS purchases based on the expected value of each entity’s eligibility for the FSS and PHS programs. We also review historical rebate and chargeback information to further refine these estimates.
8


Distribution fees, product returns and other deductions: Our distributors charge a volume-based fee for distribution services that they perform for us. We allow for the return of product that is within a specified number of days of its expiration date or that is damaged. We estimate product returns based on our experience to-date using the expected value approach. We provide financial assistance to qualifying patients that are underinsured or cannot cover the cost of commercial coinsurance amounts through our patient support programs. Estimated contributions for commercial coinsurance under SeaGen Secure are deducted from gross sales and are based on an analysis of expected plan utilization. These estimates are adjusted as necessary to reflect our actual experience.
Revenue recognition - Royalty revenues
Royalty revenues primarily reflect amounts earned under the ADCETRIS collaboration with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, or Takeda. These royalties include commercial sales-based milestones and sales royalties that relate predominantly to the license of intellectual property. Sales royalties are based on a percentage of Takeda’s net sales of ADCETRIS, with rates that range from the mid-teens to the mid-twenties based on annual net sales tiers. Takeda bears a portion of low single digit third-party royalty costs owed on its sales of ADCETRIS. This amount is included in royalty revenues. Amounts owed to our third-party licensors related to Takeda’s sales of ADCETRIS are recorded in cost of sales. These amounts are recognized in the period in which the related sales by Takeda occur. Royalty revenues also reflect amounts from Genentech, Inc., a member of the Roche Group, or Genentech, earned on net sales of Polivy, and amounts from GlaxoSmithKline earned on net sales of Blenrep.
Revenue recognition - Collaboration and license agreement revenues
We have collaboration and license agreements for our technology with a number of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Under these agreements, we typically receive or are entitled to receive upfront cash payments and progress- and sales-dependent milestones for the achievement by our licensees of certain events, and annual maintenance fees and support fees for research and development services and materials provided under the agreements. We also are entitled to receive royalties on net sales of any resulting products incorporating our technology. Generally, our licensees are solely responsible for research, product development, manufacturing and commercialization of any product candidates under these collaborations, which includes the achievement of the potential milestones. Since we may not take a substantive role or control the research, development or commercialization of any products generated by some of our licensees, we may not be able to reasonably estimate when, if at all, any potential future milestone payments or royalties may be payable to us by our licensees. As such, the potential future milestone payments associated with certain of our collaboration and license agreements involve a substantial degree of uncertainty.
Collaboration and license agreements are initially evaluated as to whether the intellectual property licenses granted by us represent distinct performance obligations. If they are determined to be distinct, the value of the intellectual property licenses would be recognized up-front while the research and development service fees would be recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied. Variable consideration is assessed at each reporting period as to whether it is not subject to future reversal of cumulative revenue and, therefore, should be included in the transaction price. Assessing the recognition of variable consideration requires significant judgment. If a contract includes a fixed or minimum amount of research and development support, this also would be included in the transaction price. Changes to collaboration and license agreements, such as the extensions of the research term or increasing the number of targets or technology covered under an existing agreement, are assessed for whether they represent a modification or should be accounted for as a new contract.
We have concluded that the license of intellectual property in certain collaboration and license agreements is not distinct from the perspective of our customers at the time of initial transfer, since we often do not license intellectual property without related technology transfer and research and development support services. Such evaluation requires significant judgment since it is made from the customer's perspective. Our performance obligations under our collaborations may include such things as providing intellectual property licenses, performing technology transfer, performing research and development consulting services, providing reagents, ADCs, and other materials, and notifying the customer of any enhancements to licensed technology or new technology that we discover, among others. We determined our performance obligations under certain collaboration and license agreements as evaluated at contract inception were not distinct and represented a single performance obligation. For those agreements, revenue is recognized using a proportional performance model, representing the transfer of goods or services as activities are performed over the term of the agreement. Upfront payments are also amortized to revenue over the performance period. Upfront payment contract liabilities resulting from our collaborations do not represent a financing component as the payment is not financing the transfer of goods or services, and the technology underlying the licenses granted reflects research and development expenses already incurred by us. For agreements beyond the initial performance period, we have no remaining performance obligations. We may receive license maintenance fees and potential milestones and royalties based on collaborator development and regulatory progress, which are recorded in the period achieved in the case of milestones, and during the period of the related sales for royalties.
9


When no performance obligations are required of us, or following the completion of the performance obligation period, such amounts are recognized upon transfer of control of the goods or services to the customer. Generally, all amounts received or due other than sales-based milestones and royalties are classified as collaboration and license agreement revenues. Sales-based milestones and royalties are recognized as royalty revenue in the period the related sale occurred.
We generally invoice our collaborators and licensees on a monthly or quarterly basis, or upon the completion of the effort or achievement of a milestone, based on the terms of each agreement. Deferred revenue arises from amounts received in advance of the culmination of the earnings process and is recognized as revenue in future periods as performance obligations are satisfied. Deferred revenue expected to be recognized within the next twelve months is classified as a current liability.
Recent accounting pronouncements adopted
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued “ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The objective of the standard is to improve areas of GAAP by removing certain exceptions permitted by ASC Topic 740-- Income Taxes and clarifying existing guidance to facilitate consistent application. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or financial statement disclosures.

2. Revenue from contracts with customers
Substantially all of our product revenues are recorded in the U.S. Royalty revenues primarily reflect royalties earned under the ADCETRIS collaboration with Takeda.
The following table presents our disaggregated revenue for the periods presented:
Three Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in thousands) 2021 2020
ADCETRIS $ 162,573  $ 164,053 
PADCEV 69,758  34,461 
TUKYSA 70,257  —

Collaboration and license agreement revenues $ 2,176  $ 15,640 
Total revenues $ 331,983  $ 234,514 
We estimate an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. We regularly review the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. We recognized no year-to-date bad debt expense during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020.

3. Operating leases
We have operating leases for our office and laboratory facilities with terms that expire from 2021 through 2029. All of our significant leases include options for us to extend the lease term. None of our options to extend the rental term of any existing leases were considered reasonably certain as of March 31, 2021.
Supplemental operating lease information was as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in thousands) 2021 2020
Operating lease cost $ 4,014  $ 3,546 
Variable lease cost 987  902

Cash paid for amounts included in measurement of lease liabilities $ 3,858  $ 3,336 
As of March 31,
2021 2020
Weighted average remaining lease term 6.0 years 6.9 years
Weighted average discount rate 5.2  % 5.4  %
Operating lease liabilities were recorded in the following captions of our condensed consolidated balance sheet as follows:
(dollars in thousands) March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020
Accrued liabilities and other $ 13,151  $ 12,749 
Operating lease liabilities, long-term 58,293  61,884 
Total $ 71,444  $ 74,633 

4. Net loss per share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares include incremental common shares issuable upon the vesting of unvested restricted stock units and the exercise of outstanding stock options, calculated using the treasury stock method.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we excluded all restricted stock units and stock options from the per share calculations as such securities were anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of restricted stock units and stock options that were excluded totaled approximately 10,468,000 and 12,654,000, respectively.

5. Fair value
We have certain assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis according to a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs, assumptions and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1:    Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2:    Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3:    Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
The determination of a financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on an assessment of the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. We consider observable data to be market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

Our short- and long-term debt investments portfolio only contains investments in U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government-backed securities. We review our portfolio based on the underlying risk profile of the securities and have a zero loss expectation for these investments. We also regularly review the securities in an unrealized loss position and evaluate the current expected credit loss by considering factors such as historical experience, market data, issuer-specific factors, and current economic conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized no year-to-date credit loss related to our short- and long-term investments, and had no allowance for credit loss recorded as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Gain (loss) on equity securities includes the realized and unrealized holding gains and losses on our equity securities. The loss on equity securities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was the result of a mark-to-market adjustment of our holdings in Immunomedics common stock, that balance of shares of which were subsequently sold for a gain during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

7. Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following:
(dollars in thousands) March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020

Finished goods 29,900  17,087 
Total $ 146,591  $ 116,136 
We capitalize our commercial inventory costs. Inventory that is deployed into clinical, research or development use is charged to research and development expense when it is no longer available for use in commercial sales.

8. Share-based compensation
We recorded total share-based compensation expense of $38.2 million and $33.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, including expense associated with our long-term incentive plans, or LTIPs. Share-based compensation included in research and development expenses was $17.0 million and $17.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and share-based compensation included in sales, general, and administrative expenses was $21.3 million and $15.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
As of March 31, 2021, there was $160.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options and RSU awards, excluding our LTIPs and performance-based awards, net of forfeitures. The estimated unrecognized compensation expense related to our LTIPs and performance-based awards was approximately $70 million as of March 31, 2021. The total estimate of unrecognized compensation expense could change in the future for several reasons, including the addition or termination of employees, the recognition of LTIP compensation expense, or the addition, termination, or modification of an LTIP.

9. Legal matters
We are engaged in multiple legal disputes with Daiichi Sankyo Co. Ltd., or Daiichi Sankyo.
Dispute over ownership of intellectual property
We are in a dispute with Daiichi Sankyo regarding the ownership of certain technology used by Daiichi Sankyo in its cancer drug ENHERTU and certain product candidates. We believe that the linker and other ADC technology used in ENHERTU and these drug candidates are improvements to our ADC technology, the ownership of which we contend was assigned to us under the terms of a 2008 collaboration agreement between us and Daiichi Sankyo. On November 12, 2019, we submitted an arbitration demand to the American Arbitration Association seeking, among other remedies, a declaration that we are the owner of the intellectual property rights under dispute, monetary damages, and a running royalty. On April 27, 2020, the arbitrator confirmed the dispute should be resolved in arbitration. The arbitration is progressing with a hearing date scheduled starting June 14, 2021.
On November 4, 2019, Daiichi Sankyo filed a declaratory judgment action in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that we are not entitled to the intellectual property rights under dispute, in an attempt to have the dispute adjudicated in federal court. The case has been stayed and administratively closed by court order.
13


Patent infringement
On October 19, 2020, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas to commence an action for infringement of our U.S. Patent No. 10,808,039, or the '039 Patent, by Daiichi Sankyo’s importation into, offer for sale, sale, and use in the United States of the cancer drug ENHERTU. This action is seeking, among other remedies, a judgment that Daiichi Sankyo infringed one or more valid and enforceable claims of the '039 Patent, monetary damages and a running royalty. Daiichi Sankyo (as well as Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. and AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals, LP, or AstraZeneca) subsequently filed an action on November 13, 2020 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware seeking a declaratory judgment that ENHERTU does not infringe the ‘039 Patent. The Delaware action has been stayed by court order. Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. and AstraZeneca also filed two Petitions for Post-Grant Review on December 23, 2020 and January 22, 2021 with the U.S. Patent Office seeking to have claims of the ‘039 Patent cancelled as unpatentable.
As a result of these disputes, we have incurred and will continue to incur litigation expenses. In addition, from time to time, we may become involved in other lawsuits, claims and proceedings relating to the conduct of our business, including those pertaining to the defense and enforcement of our patent or other intellectual property rights and our contractual rights. These proceedings are costly and time consuming, and they may subject us to claims which may result in liabilities or require us to take or refrain from certain actions. Additionally, successful challenges to our patent or other intellectual property rights through these proceedings could result in a loss of rights in the relevant jurisdiction and may allow third parties to use our proprietary technologies without a license from us or our collaborators.

ADCETRIS®
ADCETRIS is an ADC targeting CD30, which is a protein located on the surface of cells and highly expressed in Hodgkin lymphoma, certain T-cell lymphomas as well as other cancers. ADCETRIS first received FDA approval in 2011 and is now approved in a total of six indications to treat Hodgkin lymphoma and certain T-cell lymphomas in various settings including as frontline therapy.
ADCETRIS is commercially available in more than 75 countries worldwide. We commercialize ADCETRIS in the U.S. and its territories and in Canada, and we collaborate with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, or Takeda, to develop and commercialize ADCETRIS on a global basis. Under this collaboration, Takeda has commercial rights in the rest of the world and pays us a royalty. Takeda has received regulatory approvals for ADCETRIS as monotherapy or in combination with other agents in various settings for the treatment of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma or CD30-positive T-cell lymphomas in Europe and many countries throughout the rest of the world and is pursuing additional regulatory approvals.
PADCEV®
PADCEV is an ADC targeting Nectin-4, a protein expressed on the surface of cells and highly expressed in bladder cancer as well as other cancers. PADCEV was granted accelerated approval by the FDA in December 2019 for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who have previously received a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor and a platinum-containing chemotherapy before (neoadjuvant) or after (adjuvant) surgery in the locally advanced or metastatic setting. FDA approval of PADCEV was supported by data from a single-arm pivotal phase 2 clinical trial called EV-201. Continued approval may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a required confirmatory trial. In April 2021, the FDA accepted for Priority Review a supplemental BLA based on the global phase 3 clinical trial called EV-301 which would serve as the confirmatory trial.
PADCEV, is being co-developed and jointly commercialized with Astellas Pharma, Inc., or Astellas. In the U.S., we and Astellas are jointly promoting PADCEV. In the U.S., we record net sales of PADCEV and are responsible for all distribution activities. We and Astellas each bear the costs of our own sales organizations in the U.S., equally share certain other costs associated with commercializing PADCEV in the U.S., and equally share in any profits realized in the U.S.
TUKYSA®
TUKYSA is an oral, small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, or TKI, that is highly selective for HER2, a growth factor receptor overexpressed in many cancers. HER2 mediates cell growth, differentiation and survival. Tumors that over-express HER2 are generally more aggressive and historically have been associated with poor overall survival, compared with HER2-negative cancers. In April 2020, TUKYSA received approval from the FDA in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine for the treatment of adult patients with advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, including patients with brain metastases, who have received one or more prior anti-HER2-based regimens in the metastatic setting. FDA approval of TUKYSA was supported by data from the HER2CLIMB trial.
The FDA reviewed the application for approval under the Oncology Center of Excellence's, or OCE's, Real Time Oncology Review, or RTOR, pilot program. We also participated in the Project Orbis initiative of the FDA OCE which provides a framework for concurrent submission and review of oncology products among international partners. Under this program we have received approval in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Singapore, and Switzerland. In February 2021, the EC granted marketing authorization for TUKYSA in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine for the treatment of adult patients with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have received at least two prior anti-HER2 treatment regimens. This approval is valid in all countries of the European Union as well as Norway, Liechtenstein, Iceland and Northern Ireland. In March 2021, we began marketing TUKYSA in Germany and France. Additionally, in February 2021, the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, or MHRA, granted a Great Britain marketing authorization for TUKYSA.
We are responsible for commercializing TUKYSA in the U.S., Canada and in Europe. In September 2020, we entered into a license and collaboration agreement, or the TUKYSA Agreement, with a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., or Merck, pursuant to which we granted exclusive rights to Merck to commercialize TUKYSA in Asia, the Middle East and Latin America and other regions outside of the U.S., Canada and Europe. The collaboration is intended to accelerate global availability of TUKYSA.

Clinical Development and Regulatory Status
ADCETRIS (brentuximab vedotin)
Beyond our current labeled indications, we are evaluating ADCETRIS as monotherapy and in combination with other agents in ongoing trials, including several potential registration-enabling trials. In addition to our corporate-sponsored trials there are numerous investigator-sponsored trials of ADCETRIS in the United States. The investigator-sponsored trials include the use of ADCETRIS in a number of malignant hematologic indications and in solid tumors.
PADCEV (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv)
In collaboration with Astellas we are conducting or planning to conduct clinical trials across the spectrum of bladder cancer including ongoing trials in frontline metastatic urothelial cancer and muscle invasive bladder cancer. We are planning to conduct a trial in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. In addition, we are conducting a trial in a range of other solid tumors.
In September 2020, we announced that the EV-301 trial, which compared PADCEV to chemotherapy in adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who were previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy and a PD-1/L1 inhibitor, met its primary endpoint of overall survival, or OS, compared to chemotherapy. For patients in the PADCEV arm of the trial, rash, fatigue, and decreased neutrophil count were the most frequent Grade 3 or greater treatment-related adverse events occurring in more than 5 percent of patients.
In April 2021, the FDA accepted for Priority Review a sBLA based on the EV-301 trial with a PDUFA target action date of August 17, 2021. This application seeks to convert PADCEV's accelerated approval in December 2019 to regular approval. The application is being reviewed under the FDA's RTOR program. In March 2021, the EMA accepted for review a MAA for PADCEV based on the EV-301 trial. In addition, applications have been submitted for PADCEV approval in Australia and Canada, under the FDA's Project Orbis program, as well as in Japan, Singapore, Brazil and Switzerland.
In October 2020, we announced positive topline results from the second cohort of patients in the pivotal phase 2 EV-201 trial. The cohort is evaluating PADCEV for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who have been previously treated with a PD-1/L1 inhibitor and have not received a platinum-containing chemotherapy and are ineligible for cisplatin. In April 2021, a sBLA was accepted for Priority Review by the FDA based on the second cohort of the EV-201 trial with a PDUFA target action date of August 17, 2021, which is intended to support an indication in this setting. This application is also being reviewed under the FDA's RTOR program.
PADCEV is also being investigated in first-line metastatic urothelial cancer and earlier stages of bladder cancer. We and Astellas are conducting a phase 1b/2 clinical trial, called EV-103, that is a multi-cohort, open-label trial of PADCEV alone or in combination with the anti-PD-1 therapy pembrolizumab. The trial is evaluating safety, tolerability and activity in locally advanced and first- and second-line metastatic urothelial cancer, and was expanded to include muscle invasive bladder cancer, or MIBC.
In February 2020, based on the positive initial results of the EV-103 trial, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for PADCEV in combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who are unable to receive cisplatin-based chemotherapy in the first-line setting. In April 2020, we announced that based on discussions with the FDA, data from the randomized cohort K in the EV-103 trial, along with other data from the EV-103 trial, could potentially support registration under the FDA's accelerated approval pathway. The primary outcome measures are objective response rate and duration of response. We expect to complete enrollment in cohort K by the end of 2021.
In addition to the potential accelerated approval pathway based on the EV-103 trial, we are conducting a global, registrational phase 3 trial, called EV-302, in frontline metastatic urothelial cancer in collaboration with Astellas and a subsidiary of Merck. We, Astellas and Merck are jointly funding EV-302 and the trial is being led by us. EV-302 is an open-label, randomized phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the combination of PADCEV and pembrolizumab versus chemotherapy alone in patients with previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer. The trial includes metastatic urothelial cancer patients who are either eligible or ineligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The trial has dual primary endpoints of progression-free survival and OS and is intended to support global regulatory submissions and potentially serve as a confirmatory trial if accelerated approval is granted based on EV-103.
In April 2020, we and Astellas entered into an agreement with Merck to evaluate PADCEV in MIBC. Merck has amended its ongoing phase 3 KEYNOTE-905/EV-303 registrational trial in cisplatin-ineligible patients with MIBC to include an arm evaluating PADCEV in combination with pembrolizumab. In October 2020, we and Astellas entered into an agreement with Merck to evaluate PADCEV in combination with pembrolizumab in a phase 3 trial, called KEYNOTE-B15/EV-304, to be conducted by Merck in cisplatin-eligible patients with MIBC. This trial was initiated in the first quarter of 2021.

In January 2020, we and Astellas also initiated a phase 2 clinical trial, called EV-202, to evaluate PADCEV monotherapy in solid tumors that have high-levels of Nectin-4 expression, including non-small cell lung, head and neck, gastric/esophageal and breast cancers.
Since the launch of PADCEV we have continued to monitor product safety in clinical trials and in the post marketing setting. Nectin-4, which PADCEV targets, is expressed in the skin, and rash is a common adverse event associated with PADCEV use, but is generally mild and reversible. Severe rashes, however, do occur and are described in the U.S. prescribing information. Severe cutaneous adverse reactions including fatal cases of Stevens Johnson Syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis have occurred in patients treated with PADCEV in the post marketing setting and during clinical trials. In March 2021, the U.S. prescribing information was updated to reflect these rare events. We believe the overall benefit-risk balance remains favorable for the use of PADCEV in its approved indication.
TUKYSA (tucatinib)
We are conducting a broad clinical development program of TUKYSA including ongoing and planned trials in earlier lines of breast cancer and in other HER2-positive cancers. The positive results of the HER2CLIMB trial served as the basis for approval in the U.S., Canada, the European Union as well as other countries. Merck is co-funding a portion of the TUKYSA global development plan.
In October 2019, we initiated a phase 3 randomized trial, called HER2CLIMB-02, evaluating TUKYSA versus placebo, each in combination with T-DM1, for patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, including those with brain metastases, who have had prior treatment with a taxane and trastuzumab.
We are supporting a U.S. cooperative group, the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, that is conducting a phase 3 randomized trial, called CompassHER2 RD, which is evaluating TUKYSA in combination with T-DM1 in the adjuvant setting for patients with high-risk, HER2-positive breast cancer.
We are also conducting a phase 2 trial, called HER2CLIMB-04, evaluating TUKYSA in combination with trastuzumab deruxtecan in previously treated locally-advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer.
We are conducting a phase 2 trial, called MOUNTAINEER, evaluating TUKYSA in combination with trastuzumab in patients with HER2-positive, RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer after treatment with first- and second-line standard-of-care therapies. Initial results from 23 patients were presented at the ESMO 2019 Congress that demonstrated encouraging antitumor activity. We expect to complete enrollment by the end of 2021. We believe the trial could potentially support an application for accelerated approval in the U.S.
We are conducting a phase 2/3 trial, called MOUNTAINEER-02, in combination with trastuzumab, ramucirumab and paclitaxel in second-line HER2-positive metastatic gastroesophageal cancer. We have also initiated a phase 1b trial evaluating TUKYSA in combination with trastuzumab and oxaliplatin based chemotherapy in first-line HER2-positive unresectable or metastatic colorectal, gastric, esophageal and gallbladder cancers.
Tisotumab Vedotin
In collaboration with Genmab we are developing tisotumab vedotin for metastatic cervical cancer and are evaluating it for other solid tumors.
We and Genmab are conducting a pivotal phase 2 trial, called innovaTV 204, evaluating single-agent tisotumab vedotin for patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who have relapsed or progressed after standard of care treatment. In September 2020, data from the innovaTV 204 trial were presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology, or ESMO, Virtual Congress 2020 and in April 2021 were published in The Lancet Oncology. Results from the trial showed a 24 percent confirmed objective response rate, or ORR, by independent central review with a median duration of response, or DOR, of 8.3 months. The most common treatment-related adverse events (greater than or equal to 20 percent) included alopecia, epistaxis (nose bleeds), nausea, conjunctivitis, fatigue and dry eye.
In April 2021, the FDA accepted for Priority Review the BLA seeking accelerated approval for tisotumab vedotin. This BLA requests FDA approval of tisotumab vedotin for the treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer with disease progression on or after chemotherapy. The FDA has set a PDUFA target action date of October 10, 2021.
In January 2021, we and Genmab initiated a phase 3 clinical trial, called innovaTV 301, to evaluate tisotumab vedotin compared to chemotherapy in patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who have received one or two prior lines of therapy. innovaTV 301 is intended to support global regulatory applications for potential approvals in regions where innovaTV 204 does not support approval and to potentially serve as a confirmatory trial in the U.S. if we are able to obtain accelerated approval based on the innovaTV 204 trial.

We are also conducting a phase 2 clinical trial, called innovaTV 205, evaluating tisotumab vedotin as monotherapy and in combination with certain other anti-cancer agents for first-line treatment of patients with recurrent or advanced cervical cancer.
Additionally, we are conducting a phase 2 clinical trial, called innovaTV 207, for patients with relapsed, locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors and a phase 2 clinical trial, called innovaTV 208, for patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.
Ladiratuzumab Vedotin
We are developing ladiratuzumab vedotin, or LV, an ADC targeting LIV-1, which is currently being evaluated in phase 1 and phase 2 clinical trials both as monotherapy and in combination with other agents for patients with metastatic breast cancer and select solid tumors with high LIV-1 expression. In September 2020, we and a subsidiary of Merck entered into a license and collaboration agreement, or the LV Agreement, under which the companies will jointly develop and share future costs and profits worldwide for LV.
Other clinical and early-stage product candidates
We are advancing a pipeline of early-stage clinical candidates as well as multiple preclinical and research-stage programs that employ our proprietary technologies. We advanced several product candidates into clinical development in 2020 and we plan to submit additional IND applications to the FDA in 2021.
Antibody-Drug Conjugate technology license agreements
We have active technology license agreements for our ADC technology with a number of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, including AbbVie Biotechnology Ltd., or AbbVie; Genentech, Inc., a member of the Roche Group, or Genentech; and GlaxoSmithKline LLC, or GSK, as well as collaboration agreements with Astellas and Genmab. Genentech and GSK have received approval for ADC drugs that utilize our technology, Polivy® (polatuzumab vedotin-piic) and Blenrep (belantamab mafodotin-blmf), respectively, in the U.S., European Union and other countries. Under our ADC license agreements with Genentech and GSK, we are entitled to receive royalties on net sales of Polivy and Blenrep worldwide.
COVID-19
We are continuing to closely monitor the impact of the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and are taking proactive efforts designed to protect the health and safety of our workforce, patients and healthcare professionals, and to continue our business operations and advance our goal of bringing important medicines to patients as rapidly as possible. For example, we continue to maintain a mandatory work-from-home policy for employees who can perform their jobs offsite. We are continuing essential research, manufacturing, and laboratory activities on site and maintain a number of additional precautionary measures designed to protect these on-site employees, such as temperature checks, screening protocols, masks, social distancing, contact tracing and making testing available. After pausing most in-person customer interactions in healthcare settings earlier in the pandemic, our field-based personnel are now engaging in an increasing number of in-person interactions where state and local laws and regulations allow, the institution or office is accepting in-person interactions and our field-based personnel are comfortable engaging in-person with healthcare providers They are also using electronic communications to continue to support healthcare professionals and patients when they cannot meet with healthcare providers face-to-face. We believe that the measures we have implemented are appropriate and are helping to reduce transmission of COVID-19, and we will continue to monitor conditions and related guidance from governmental authorities and adjust our activities as appropriate.

Outlook
We recognize revenue from ADCETRIS product sales in the U.S. and Canada, PADCEV product sales in the U.S. and TUKYSA product sales in the U.S. and Europe. While we anticipate that sales of ADCETRIS will increase modestly in 2021 as compared to 2020, we have experienced and expect continued impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, which appear to be reducing the rate of Hodgkin lymphoma diagnoses. We have also experienced an increase in gross-to-net deductions that we believe is due to a shift in the locations where ADCETRIS is administered, which has increased the proportion of ADCETRIS sales through the federal 340B drug discount program. We also expect that our ability to maintain or continue to grow our ADCETRIS sales, if at all, will depend on our ability to establish or demonstrate to the medical community the value of ADCETRIS and its potential advantages compared to existing and future therapeutics in its approved indications, including in the frontline Hodgkin lymphoma indication, and the extent to which physicians make prescribing decisions with respect to ADCETRIS. Other important factors affecting our ADCETRIS sales include the incidence flow of patients eligible for treatment in ADCETRIS’ approved indications, the extent to which coverage and adequate levels of reimbursement for ADCETRIS are available from governments and other third-party payors, the impact of any healthcare reform measures that may be upheld, or adopted in the future, including measures that could result in more rigorous coverage criteria or reduce the price that we receive for ADCETRIS, increasing competition from competing therapies including pembrolizumab in multiple indications, including in the relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma indication, continuing impacts resulting from the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic including lower diagnosis rates, and the potential future approval of ADCETRIS in any additional indications. For these reasons, we cannot assure you that ADCETRIS sales will continue to grow or that we can maintain sales of ADCETRIS at or near current levels. In addition, as a result of these and other factors, our future ADCETRIS product sales can be difficult to accurately predict from period to period.
Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from our investment in PADCEV is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including our and Astellas’ ability to successfully jointly market and commercialize PADCEV in the U.S. in its approved indication, the extent to which we and Astellas are able to obtain regulatory approvals of PADCEV in additional indications in the U.S., including in the frontline metastatic urothelial cancer setting, and in territories outside the U.S., our ability and Astellas’ ability to successfully comply with rigorous post-marketing requirements, including obtaining the FDA’s agreement as to the confirmation of clinical benefit of PADCEV based on the results of the EV-301 clinical trial, the acceptance of PADCEV by the medical community and patients, the extent to which physicians make prescribing decisions with respect to PADCEV, the incidence flow of patients eligible for treatment in PADCEV’s approved indication, the duration of therapy for patients receiving PADCEV, the extent to which coverage and adequate levels of reimbursement for PADCEV are available from governments and other third-party payors, the impact of any healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, including measures that could potentially result in more rigorous coverage criteria and additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for PADCEV, potential competition from competing therapies, the impact of conducting launch activities virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic and other impacts resulting from the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic including potential negative impacts of reduced cancer diagnosis rates. In addition, as a result of these and other factors, including the lack of significant historical sales data, PADCEV sales are currently difficult to predict from period to period.
Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of our investment in TUKYSA is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including our and Merck’s ability to successfully launch, market and commercialize TUKYSA in our respective territories in its approved indication, the extent to which we and Merck are able to obtain regulatory and other required governmental and pricing and reimbursement approvals of TUKYSA in additional territories, the extent to which we and Merck are able to obtain regulatory approvals of TUKYSA in additional indications, including earlier lines of breast cancer and other HER2-positive cancers, the acceptance of TUKYSA by the medical community and patients, competition from other therapies, our and Merck’s ability to accurately predict and supply product demand, the extent to which coverage and reimbursement will be available from governments and other third-party payors, our ability to effectively commercialize a product outside of the U.S., the impact of conducting launch activities virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic and other impacts resulting from the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic including potential negative impacts of reduced cancer diagnosis rates. In addition, as a result of these and other factors, including the lack of significant historical sales data, TUKYSA sales are currently difficult to predict from period to period.
The biopharmaceutical industry and the markets in which we operate are intensely competitive. Many of our competitors are working to develop or have commercialized products similar to those we market or are developing. Drug prices are under significant scrutiny and we expect drug pricing and other health care costs to continue to be subject to intense political and societal pressures on a global basis. For example, in July 2020, then-President Trump announced four Executive Orders related to reducing prescription drug prices and we expect that drug pricing will continue to be subject to close scrutiny by federal, state and foreign governments. In addition to pricing actions and other measures being taken worldwide designed to reduce healthcare costs and limit the overall level of government expenditures, our sales and operations could also be affected by other risks of doing business internationally.

We expect that amounts received from our collaboration agreements, including royalties, will continue to be an important source of our revenues and cash flows. These revenues and cash flows will be impacted by future development funding and the achievement of development, clinical and commercial success by our collaborators under our existing collaboration and license agreements, as well as by entering into potential new collaboration and license agreements.
Our ongoing research, development, manufacturing and commercial activities will require substantial amounts of capital and may not ultimately be successful. We expect that we will incur substantial expenses, and we will require significant financial resources and additional personnel in order to advance the development of, to pursue, obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for, and to commercialize our products and product candidates, and expand our pipeline. In addition, we may pursue new operations or continue the expansion of our existing operations, including with respect to our plans to build a commercial infrastructure in Europe and to otherwise continue to expand our operations internationally. As a result, we may need to raise additional capital, and our operating expenses may fluctuate as a result of such activities. We may also incur milestone payment obligations to certain of our licensors as our product candidates progress through clinical trials towards potential commercialization.

We are closely evaluating the impacts of the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ability and the ability of our collaborators to effectively market, sell and distribute our products and to develop our products and product candidates. Our field-based personnel are using a mix of in-person interactions and electronic communications, such as emails, phone calls and video conferences, to support healthcare providers and patients. Many healthcare professionals that we normally call on are working a greater proportion of their working schedule from home and are facing additional demands on their time during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We are continuing to experience increased competition for virtual appointments with healthcare professionals and a significant reduction in the number of interactions our sales personnel are having with physicians. We expect the different quality of electronic interactions as compared with in-person interactions, as well as the reduced quantity of interactions during the COVID-19 pandemic, to reduce the effectiveness of our sales personnel, as well as those of our collaborators, which could negatively affect our product sales and those of our collaborators, as well as physician awareness of our products. With respect to PADCEV and TUKYSA specifically, we have not launched a product using primarily virtual communication channels in the past and cannot predict the effects that this approach will ultimately have on demand for PADCEV or TUKYSA. However, we believe that the need to conduct these activities virtually is negatively impacting our ability to connect with key customers, including those familiar with competitive products, and our ability to conduct payor engagements. We face a number of challenges that will limit our ability to fully resume in-person interactions for the foreseeable future, including increasing COVID-19 infection rates in many states, the potential for more severe outbreaks, the need to navigate varying restrictions for entering healthcare facilities and employee childcare obligations during virtual school sessions. In addition, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve rapidly, and we may subsequently be forced to, or subsequently determine that we should, resume a more restrictive remote work model, whether as a result of further spikes or surges in COVID-19 infection or hospitalization rates or otherwise. Moreover, the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are also unknown and it is possible that following the pandemic, healthcare institutions could alter their policies with respect to in person visits by pharmaceutical company representatives. COVID-19 related restrictions could also present product distribution challenges as we utilize recently initiated distribution channels for TUKYSA. We also expect that the conversion of medical conferences to a virtual format may reduce our ability to effectively disseminate scientific information about our products, which may result in decreased physician awareness of our products, their approved indications and their efficacy and safety. The evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may also negatively affect our product sales due to challenges in patient access to healthcare settings, significant increases in unemployment and the resulting loss of individual health insurance coverage, and inability to access government healthcare programs due to backlogs, some or all of which appear to be affecting diagnosis rates, may affect side effect management and course of treatment and may increase enrollment in our patient support programs. With respect to ADCETRIS specifically, impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic appear to be reducing the rate of Hodgkin lymphoma diagnoses. In addition, we have experienced lower than expected levels of our research and development spending, in part as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes some delays in clinical trial enrollment as well as reduced travel due to the conversion of medical and scientific meetings to virtual format. While we do not at this time anticipate the need to revise our publicly reported projected clinical milestone dates as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, there may be some impacts to our clinical study timelines, which, depending upon the duration and severity of the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, could ultimately delay data availability. In addition, many of our non-essential on-site research activities are currently significantly reduced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may negatively impact the number of investigational new drug application, or IND, candidates entering our clinical pipeline in future years. The extent to which the risks and evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic impact our business, our ability to generate sales of and revenues from our approved products, and our clinical development and regulatory efforts will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate duration and severity of the pandemic, government actions, such as travel restrictions, quarantines and social distancing requirements in the U.S. and in other countries, business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken in the U.S. and in other countries to contain and treat the disease, including the effectiveness and timing of vaccine programs in the U.S. and worldwide. For more information on the risks and uncertainties associated with the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, our ability to generate sales of and revenues from our approved products, and our clinical development and regulatory efforts, see “Part II Item 1A—Risk Factors.”
Because of the above and other factors, our results of operations may vary substantially from year to year and from quarter to quarter and, as a result, we believe that period to period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as being indicative of our future performance.

Financial summary
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, our total revenues increased to $332.0 million, compared to $234.5 million for the same period in 2020. This growth was driven by the U.S. launch of TUKYSA in April 2020 and higher PADCEV net product sales.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, total costs and expenses increased to $454.4 million, compared to $346.9 million for the same period in 2020. This reflected higher research and development expenses, cost of sales, and selling, general and administrative expenses. Net loss was unfavorably impacted by a loss of $59.1 million from the change in the fair value of our equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2020. These securities were sold for a gain during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
As of March 31, 2021, we had $2.5 billion in cash, cash equivalents and investments and $3.4 billion in total stockholders’ equity.

NM: No amount in comparable period or not a meaningful comparison.

Our net product sales grew 52% during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the comparable period in 2020, primarily driven by the launch of TUKSYA in April 2020 and higher PADCEV net product sales. PADCEV net product sales grew primarily due to higher volumes, driven by increased utilization in its approved indication following the U.S. launch in December 2019. ADCETRIS net product sales declined slightly during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to a reduction in the rate of Hodgkin lymphoma diagnoses, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.
We expect growth in net product sales in 2021 from 2020 to be primarily driven by sales growth of TUKYSA and PADCEV, and to a lesser extent, ADCETRIS. Refer to “Overview—Outlook” above for additional information.

Government-mandated rebates and chargebacks are the most significant component of our total gross-to-net deductions and the discount percentage has been increasing. These discount percentages increased during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as a result of price increases for ADCETRIS that we instituted that exceeded the rate of inflation. The most significant portion of our gross-to-net accrual balances as of March 31, 2021 and 2020 was for ADCETRIS Medicaid rebates. We expect future gross-to-net deductions to fluctuate based on the volume of purchases eligible for government mandated discounts and rebates, as well as changes in the discount percentage which is impacted by potential future price increases, the rate of inflation, and other factors. We expect gross-to-net deductions to increase in 2021 as compared to 2020, driven by anticipated growth in our gross product sales.

Royalty revenues
Royalty revenues primarily reflect royalties earned under the ADCETRIS collaboration with Takeda. These royalties include commercial sales-based milestones and sales royalties. Sales royalties are based on a percentage of Takeda’s net sales of ADCETRIS, with rates that range from the mid-teens to the mid-twenties based on annual net sales tiers. Takeda bears third-party royalty costs owed on its sales of ADCETRIS. This amount is included in royalty revenues. Royalty revenues also reflect, to a lesser extent, amounts from Genentech earned on net sales of Polivy beginning in 2019, and amounts from GlaxoSmithKline earned on net sales of Blenrep beginning in August 2020, both of which utilizes technology that we have licensed to them.
  Three months ended March 31,
(dollars in thousands) 2021 2020 % Change
Royalty revenues $ 27,219  $ 20,360  34  %
Royalty revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to growth in Takeda net sales of ADCETRIS in its territories, as well as higher royalties earned on net sales of Blenrep and Polivy by our licensees.
We expect that royalty revenues will increase in 2021 as compared to 2020 primarily due to higher royalties from anticipated growth in ADCETRIS sales volume by Takeda, as well as anticipated sales growth of our other licensees.

Collaboration and license agreement revenues
Collaboration and license agreement revenues reflect amounts earned under certain of our license and collaboration agreements. These revenues reflect the earned portion of license fees, payments received by us for technology access and maintenance fees, milestone payments and reimbursement payments for research and development support that we provide to our collaborators.
Collaboration and license agreement revenues by collaborator were as follows:
  Three months ended March 31,
(dollars in thousands) 2021 2020 % Change
Takeda $ 1,851  $ 10,315  (82) %
Other 325  5,325  (94) %
Total collaboration and license agreement revenues

Collaboration revenues from Takeda for the three months ended March 31, 2021 declined primarily due to a decrease in ADCETRIS drug supply sold to Takeda.
Other collaboration revenues decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the comparable period in 2020 primarily due to a regulatory milestone achieved by Genentech in the 2020 period.
We expect our collaboration and license agreement revenues in 2021 to significantly decrease compared to 2020, driven by the amounts recognized related to the agreements with Merck in 2020. Our collaboration and license agreement revenues are impacted by the term and duration of those agreements and by progress-dependent milestones, annual maintenance fees, and reimbursement of materials and support services. Collaboration and license agreement revenues may vary substantially from year to year and quarter to quarter depending on the progress made by our collaborators with their product candidates, the level of support we provide to our collaborators, specifically to Takeda under our ADCETRIS collaboration, the timing of milestones achieved and our ability to enter into potential additional collaboration and license agreements.

Collaboration agreements
Takeda ADCETRIS collaboration
We have an agreement with Takeda for the global co-development of ADCETRIS and the commercialization of ADCETRIS by Takeda in its territory. We recognize payments from Takeda, including progress-dependent development and regulatory milestone payments, reimbursement for drug supplied, and net development cost reimbursement payments, as collaboration and license agreement revenues upon transfer of control of the goods or services over the development period. When the performance of development activities under the collaboration results in us making a reimbursement payment to Takeda, that payment reduces collaboration and license agreement revenues. We also recognize royalty revenues based on a percentage of Takeda's net sales of ADCETRIS in its territories, ranging from the mid-teens to the mid-twenties based on annual net sales tiers, as well as sales-based milestones. Takeda bears a portion of third-party royalty costs owed on its sales of ADCETRIS, which is included in royalty revenues.
Astellas PADCEV collaboration
We have a collaboration agreement with Agensys, Inc., which subsequently became an affiliate of Astellas, to jointly research, develop and commercialize ADCs for the treatment of several types of cancer. Under this collaboration, we and Astellas are equally co-funding all development and certain commercialization costs for PADCEV. Gross profit share payments owed to Astellas in the U.S. under the joint commercialization agreement are recorded in cost of sales. The gross profit share with Astellas totaled $32.5 million and $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
In 2018, we and Astellas entered into a joint commercialization agreement to govern the global commercialization of PADCEV:
In the U.S., we and Astellas jointly promote PADCEV. We record sales of PADCEV in the U.S. and are responsible for all U.S. distribution activities. The companies each bear the costs of their own sales organizations in the U.S., equally share certain other costs associated with commercializing PADCEV in the U.S., and equally share in any profits realized in the U.S.
Outside the U.S., we have commercialization rights in all countries in North and South America, and Astellas has commercialization rights in the rest of the world, including Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa. The agreement is intended to provide that we and Astellas will effectively equally share in costs incurred and any profits realized in all of these markets. Cost and profit sharing in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain and Italy will be based on product sales and costs of commercialization. In the remaining markets, the commercializing party will bear costs and will pay the other party a royalty rate applied to net sales of the product based on a rate intended to approximate an equal profit share for both parties.
Astellas or its affiliates are responsible for manufacturing PADCEV for development and commercial use. However, we are responsible for packaging and labeling in countries in which we sell PADCEV. In addition, if the parties determine that a second source is required, we will be responsible for establishing such second source whether internally or through a third party.
Genmab tisotumab vedotin collaboration
We have an agreement with Genmab to develop and commercialize ADCs for the treatment of several types of cancer, under which we previously exercised a co-development option for tisotumab vedotin. Under this collaboration, we and Genmab are co-funding all development costs for tisotumab vedotin.
In October 2020, we and Genmab entered into a joint commercialization agreement to govern the global commercialization of tisotumab vedotin, if we are successful in obtaining any regulatory approvals of tisotumab vedotin:
In the U.S., we and Genmab will co-promote tisotumab vedotin. We will record sales of tisotumab vedotin in the U.S. and are responsible for leading U.S. distribution activities. The companies will each hire and maintain 50% of the sales representatives and medical science liaisons, equally share those and certain other costs associated with commercializing tisotumab vedotin in the U.S., individually bear the costs of certain other personnel in the U.S., and equally share in any profits realized in the U.S. In February 2021, a BLA for tisotumab vedotin was submitted to the FDA seeking accelerated approval for the treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer with disease progression on or after chemotherapy, and in April 2021, FDA accepted the BLA for Priority Review, and set target action date of October 10, 2021.
26


Outside the U.S., we have commercialization rights in the rest of the world except for Japan, where Genmab has commercialization rights. In Europe, China, and Japan, we and Genmab equally share 50% of the costs associated with commercializing tisotumab vedotin as well as any profits realized in these markets. In markets outside the U.S. other than Europe, China, and Japan, aside from certain costs specified in the agreement, we are solely responsible for all costs associated with commercializing tisotumab vedotin and will pay Genmab a royalty based on a percentage of aggregate net sales ranging from the mid-teens to mid-twenties.
Merck LV collaboration
In September 2020, we entered into the LV Agreement with a subsidiary of Merck. We are pursuing a broad joint development program evaluating LV as monotherapy and in combination setting, including with Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in triple-negative breast cancer, hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and other LIV-1-expressing solid tumors. Under the terms of the LV Agreement, we granted Merck a co-exclusive worldwide development and commercialization license for LV, and agreed to jointly develop and commercialize LV on a worldwide basis. We received an upfront cash payment of $600.0 million, and we are eligible to receive up to $850.0 million in milestone payments upon the initiation of certain clinical trials and regulatory approval in certain major markets, and up to an additional $1.8 billion in milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual global net sales thresholds of LV. Each company is responsible for 50% of global costs to develop and commercialize LV and will receive 50% of potential future profits. In connection with the LV Agreement, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Merck in September 2020, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell, and Merck agreed to purchase 5,000,000 newly-issued shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of $200 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 billion, referred to as the Purchase Agreement. We closed the Purchase Agreement in October 2020.
We recognized license revenue of $850.1 million during 2020 associated with the LV Agreement and Purchase Agreement, and we recognize such cost sharing proportionately with the performance of the underlying activities, while recording Merck’s reimbursement of our expenses as a reduction of research and development expenses.
Merck TUKYSA collaboration
In September 2020, we entered into the TUKYSA Agreement with a subsidiary of Merck. We granted exclusive rights to commercialize TUKYSA in Asia, the Middle East and Latin America and other regions outside of the U.S., Canada and Europe. Under the terms of the TUKYSA Agreement, Merck is responsible for marketing applications for approval in its territory, supported by the positive results from the HER2CLIMB clinical trial. We retained commercial rights in, and will record sales in, the U.S., Canada and Europe. Merck is also co-funding a portion of the TUKYSA global development plan, which encompasses several ongoing and planned trials across HER2-positive cancers. We will continue to lead ongoing TUKYSA global development operational execution. Merck will solely fund and conduct country-specific clinical trials necessary to support anticipated regulatory applications in its territories. We received an upfront cash payment from Merck of $125.0 million and also received $85.0 million in prepaid research and development funding to be applied to Merck’s global development cost sharing obligations. We are eligible to receive progress-dependent milestone payments of up to $65.0 million, and are entitled to receive tiered royalties on sales of TUKYSA by Merck that begin in the low twenty percent range and escalate based sales volume by Merck in its territory.
We recognized license revenue of $125.0 million during 2020 associated with the TUKYSA Agreement, and we recognize such cost sharing proportionately with the performance of the underlying activities, while recording Merck’s reimbursement of our expenses as a reduction of research and development expenses. Sales of TUKYSA drug product supplied is included in collaboration and license agreement revenues. The prepayment received for global development cost-sharing was recorded as a co-development liability in accrued liabilities and other or other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021. As joint development expenses are incurred, we recognize the portion of Merck’s prepayment as a reduction of our research and development expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. As of March 31, 2021 and December 30, 2020, $75.3 million and $80.9 million was recorded as the remaining co-development liability, respectively.
Other technology collaboration and license agreements
We have other collaboration and license agreements for our ADC technology with a number of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. We typically receive upfront cash payments and progress- and sales-dependent milestones for the achievement by our licensees of certain events, and annual maintenance fees and support fees for research and development services and materials provided under the agreements. These amounts are recognized as revenue over the performance obligation period if the license is determined not to be distinct from other goods and services provided, or, if there is no performance obligation, upon transfer of control of the goods or services to the customer.

Cost of sales
27


Cost of sales includes manufacturing and distribution costs of product sold, gross profit share with Astellas pursuant to our PADCEV collaboration, amortization of acquired technology license costs, royalties owed on our PADCEV net product sales and global ADCETRIS and TUKSYA net product sales.
  Three months ended March 31,
(dollars in thousands) 2021 2020 % Change
Cost of sales $ 64,135  $ 29,421  118  %
Cost of sales increased for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in 2020, driven by the Astellas gross profit share related to PADCEV net product sales, amortization expense associated with acquired TUKSYA technology costs, and in-licensing royalties owed on PADCEV and TUKYSA net product sales. The gross profit share with Astellas totaled $32.5 million and $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We recorded amortization expense of $5.7 million for acquired TUKYSA technology costs during the three months ended March 31, 2021, which began following FDA approval of TUKYSA in April 2020.
We expect cost of sales to increase in 2021 as compared to 2020 as a result of the net product sales growth of our commercial-stage drugs. This includes cost of product sales for PADCEV and the gross profit share with Astellas under our collaboration. Growth will also be driven by the full-year 2021 amortization of acquired TUKYSA technology costs. The increase in cost of sales will also reflect expected growth in ADCETRIS net product sales. Cost of sales includes royalties owed on global net sales of ADCETRIS and TUKSYA, and royalties owed on our net sales of PADCEV.

Research and development
  Three months ended March 31,
(dollars in thousands) 2021 2020 % Change
Research and clinical development $ 174,005  $ 133,229  31  %
Process sciences and manufacturing 56,421  61,970  (9) %
Total research and development $ 230,426  $ 195,199  18  %
Research and clinical development expenses include personnel, occupancy and laboratory expenses, technology access fees, preclinical translational biology and in vitro and in vivo studies, IND-enabling pharmacology and toxicology studies, and external clinical trial costs including costs for clinical sites, clinical research organizations, contractors and regulatory activities associated with conducting human clinical trials. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in 2020 primarily reflected higher employee-related costs and external development costs mainly to support our early- and late-stage pipeline of product candidates.
Process sciences and manufacturing expenses include personnel and occupancy expenses, manufacturing costs for the scale-up and pre-approval manufacturing of product candidates used in research and our clinical trials, and costs for drug product supplied to our collaborators. Process sciences and manufacturing expenses also include quality control and assurance activities, and storage and shipment of our product candidates. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in 2020 primarily reflected the timing of our manufacturing of product candidates for use in clinical trials, as well as increased manufacturing of our approved products.
We utilize our employee and infrastructure resources across multiple research and development projects. We track human resource efforts expended on many of our programs for purposes of billing our collaborators for time incurred at agreed upon rates and for resource planning. We do not account for actual costs on a project basis as it relates to our infrastructure, facility, employee and other indirect costs; however, we do separately track significant third-party costs including clinical trial costs, manufacturing costs and other contracted service costs on a project basis. To that end, the following table shows third-party costs incurred for research, contract manufacturing of our product candidates and clinical and regulatory services, as well as development milestone payments for in-licensed technology for our products and certain of our clinical-stage product candidates. The table also presents other costs and overhead consisting of third-party costs for our preclinical stage programs, personnel, facilities, manufacturing, and other indirect costs not directly charged to development programs, as well as cost reimbursements received from or payments made to collaborators related to our product candidates.

  Three months ended March 31,
(dollars in thousands) 2021 2020
ADCETRIS (brentuximab vedotin) $ 11,879  $ 11,566 
TUKYSA (tucatinib) 28,122  22,526 
PADCEV (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) 10,986  8,129 
Tisotumab vedotin 12,004  3,575 
Ladiratuzumab vedotin 4,846  4,368 
Other clinical stage programs 20,596  6,546 
Total third-party costs for clinical stage programs 88,433  56,710 
Other costs, overhead, and net cost-sharing with collaborators 141,993  138,489 
Total research and development $ 230,426  $ 195,199 

Third-party costs for ADCETRIS were consistent for three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the 2020 period. Third-party costs for TUKYSA increased for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the 2020 period, due to higher clinical trial costs. Third-party costs for PADCEV increased for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to higher clinical trial costs. Third-party costs for tisotumab vedotin increased for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from the comparable period in 2020, due to higher clinical trials costs. Third-party costs for ladiratuzumab vedotin were relatively consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the comparable period in 2020.
Third-party costs for other clinical stage programs increased three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the 2020 period primarily due to an in-license development milestone payment related to one of our clinical pipeline programs.
Other costs, overhead, and net cost-sharing with collaborators include third-party costs of our preclinical programs and costs associated with personnel and facilities. In total, these net costs were relatively consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, net cost-sharing reimbursements (payments) related to co-development research and development expenses with our collaborators of product candidates listed in the table were $21.3 million and ($4.8 million), respectively.
In order to advance our product candidates toward commercialization, the product candidates are tested in numerous preclinical safety, toxicology and efficacy studies. We then conduct clinical trials for those product candidates that take several years or more to complete. The length of time varies substantially based upon the type, complexity, novelty and intended use of a product candidate. We will also need to conduct additional clinical trials in order to expand labeled indications of use for our commercial products. The outcome of our clinical trials is uncertain. The cost of clinical trials may vary significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including the number of patients enrolled, patient site costs, quantity and source of drug supply required, safety and efficacy of the product candidate, and extent of regulatory efforts, among others. 
We anticipate that our total research and development expenses in 2021 will increase compared to 2020, primarily due to higher costs for the continued development of our approved products and product candidates.
The risks and uncertainties associated with our research and development projects are discussed more fully in “Part II Item 1A—Risk Factors.” As a result of these risks and uncertainties, we are unable to determine with any degree of certainty the duration and completion costs of our research and development projects, anticipated completion dates, or when and to what extent we will receive cash inflows from the commercialization and sale of our products in any additional approved indications or of any of our product candidates.

Selling, general and administrative

(dollars in thousands) 2021 2020 % Change
Selling, general and administrative $ 159,842  $ 122,249  31  %
29


Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in 2020 primarily due to increased headcount to support our recently commercialized products, and higher infrastructure costs to support our continued growth in the U.S. and Europe.
We anticipate that selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in 2021 as compared to 2020 as we continue our commercial activities in support of product launches, and invest in infrastructure to support our continued growth in the U.S. and Europe.

Investment and other income (loss), net

Total investment and other income (loss), net $ 1,000  $ (56,047) NM
NM: No amount in comparable period or not a meaningful comparison.
Investment and other income (loss), net includes other non-operating income and loss, such as unrealized holding gains and losses on equity securities (which primarily included common stock holdings in Immunomedics prior to the sale of these securities for a gain in April 2020), realized gains and losses on equity and debt securities, and amounts earned on our investments in U.S. Treasury securities. Investment income decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the comparable period in 2020 due to lower average yields on our investment portfolio during the 2021 period.

Liquidity and capital resources

Cash, cash equivalents, and investments $ 2,531,156  $ 2,660,250 
Working capital 2,714,081  2,674,246 
Stockholders’ equity 3,424,624  3,488,100 
  Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands) 2021 2020
Cash provided (used) by:
Operating activities $ (125,326) $ (69,059)
Investing activities (78,715) 21,818 
Financing activities 19,791  21,786 
The change in net cash from operating activities was primarily related to the change in our net loss, working capital fluctuations and changes in our non-cash expenses, all of which are highly variable. The change in net cash from investing activities reflected differences between the proceeds received from sale and maturity of our investments, proceeds from sales of securities, and amounts reinvested. The change in net cash from financing activities was driven by differences in proceeds from stock option exercises and our employee stock purchase plan.
We primarily have financed our operations through the issuance of our common stock, collections from commercial sales of our products, amounts received pursuant to license and collaboration agreements, and royalty revenues. To a lesser degree, we also have financed our operations through investment income. These financing and revenue sources have allowed us to maintain adequate levels of cash and investments.
Our cash, cash equivalents, and investments are held in a variety of non-interest bearing bank accounts and interest-bearing instruments subject to investment guidelines allowing for holdings in U.S. government and agency securities, corporate securities, taxable municipal bonds, commercial paper and money market accounts. Our investment portfolio is structured to provide for investment maturities and access to cash to fund our anticipated working capital needs. However, if our liquidity needs should be accelerated for any reason in the near term, or investments do not pay at maturity, we may be required to sell investment securities in our portfolio prior to their scheduled maturities, which may result in a loss. As of March 31, 2021, we had $2.5 billion held in cash, cash equivalents and investments.
At our currently planned spending rates, we believe that our existing financial resources, together with product and royalty revenues, and the fees. milestone payments and reimbursements we expect to receive under our existing collaboration and license agreements, will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.
30

We expect to make additional capital outlays and to increase operating expenditures over the next several years as we hire additional employees, and support our development, commercialization, invest in our facilities, and expand globally, which may require us to raise additional capital. Further, we actively evaluate various strategic transactions on an ongoing basis, including licensing or otherwise acquiring complementary products, technologies or businesses, and we may require significant additional capital in order to complete or otherwise provide funding for such transactions. We may seek additional capital through some or all of the following methods: corporate collaborations, licensing arrangements, and public or private debt or equity financings. We do not know whether additional capital will be available when needed, or that, if available, we will obtain financing on terms favorable to us or our stockholders. If we are unable to raise additional funds when we need them, our business and operations may be adversely affected.
Commitments
Our future minimum contractual commitments were reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our future minimum contractual commitments have not changed materially from the amounts previously reported.
Critical accounting policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, requires us to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe the following critical accounting policies describe the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our critical accounting policies, those with the more significant judgments and estimates, used in the preparation of our financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were consistent with those in Part II Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Refer to “Part I Item 1 Note 1–-Summary of significant accounting policies” for a discussion on recent accounting pronouncements.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to our market risk disclosures as set forth in Part II Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) prior to the filing of this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our disclosure controls and procedures were, in design and operation, effective at the reasonable assurance level.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within an organization have been detected.  Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of factors that are described below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Risk Factor Summary
Below is a summary of material factors that make an investment in our securities speculative or risky. Importantly, this summary does not address all of the risks that we face. Additional discussion of the risks and uncertainties summarized in this risk factor summary, as well as other risks that we face, follows this summary. This summary is qualified in its entirety by that more complete discussion of such risks and uncertainties.
•    Our success depends on our ability to effectively commercialize our products. If we and our collaborators are unable to effectively commercialize our products and to expand their utilization, our ability to generate significant revenue and our prospects for profitability will be adversely affected.
•    Our success also depends on our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for our product candidates and for our current products in additional territories, as well as our ability to expand the labeled indications of use for our current products, and, if the requisite approvals are obtained, our ability to successfully launch and commercialize our products in their approved indications. Our inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
•    Reports of adverse events or safety concerns involving our products or product candidates could delay or prevent us from obtaining or maintaining regulatory approvals or could negatively impact sales of our products or the prospects for our product candidates.
•    Clinical trials are expensive and time consuming, may take longer than we expect or may not be completed at all, and their outcome is uncertain.
•    The successful commercialization of our products and our product candidates will depend on a variety of factors, including the extent to which governmental authorities and health insurers establish adequate coverage and reimbursement levels and pricing policies, and the acceptance of our products by the medical community and patients.
•    Our product candidates are in various stages of development, and it is possible that none of our product candidates will ever become commercial products.
•    Any failures or setbacks in our ADC development program or our other platform technologies could negatively affect our business and financial position.
•    We face intense competition and rapid technological change, which may result in others discovering, developing or commercializing competing products before or more successfully than we do.
•    Even if we and our collaborators obtain regulatory approvals to market our current and any future approved products, we and our collaborators will remain subject to extensive ongoing regulatory obligations and oversight, including post-approval requirements, that could result in significant additional expense and could negatively impact our and our collaborators’ ability to commercialize our current and any future approved products.
•    Healthcare law and policy changes may negatively impact our business, including by decreasing the prices that we and our collaborators receive for our products.
•    We are subject to various state, federal and international laws and regulations, including healthcare laws and regulations, that may impact our business and could subject us to significant fines and penalties or other negative consequences.

Table of Contents

•    We depend on collaborative relationships with other companies to assist in the development and commercialization of our products and some of our product candidates and for the development and commercialization of other product candidates utilizing or incorporating our technologies. If we are not able to locate suitable collaborators or if our collaborators do not perform as expected, this may negatively affect our ability to commercialize our products, develop and commercialize our product candidates and/or generate revenues through technology licensing, or may otherwise negatively affect our business.
•    We currently rely on third-party manufacturers and other third parties for production of our drug products and our dependence on these manufacturers may impair the continued development and commercialization of our products and product candidates.
•    If we are unable to enforce our intellectual property rights or if we fail to sustain and further procure additional intellectual property rights, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our products or any future products and competitors may be able to develop competing therapies.
•    We have been and may in the future be subject to litigation, which could result in substantial damages and may divert management’s time and attention from our business.
•    We and our collaborators rely on license agreements for certain aspects of our products and product candidates and technologies such as our ADC technology. Failure to maintain these license agreements or to secure any required new licenses could prevent us from continuing to develop and commercialize our products and product candidates.
•    The evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and global economic slowdown could have further adverse effects on our business, including our commercialization efforts, supply chain, regulatory activities, clinical development activities and other business operations.
•    If we are unable to manage our growth, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.
•    Risks associated with our expanding operations in foreign countries could materially adversely affect our business.
•    Our operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate. If our operating results are below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the trading price of our stock could decline.
•    We have a history of net losses. We expect to continue to incur net losses and may not achieve future sustained profitability for some time, if at all.
•    Our stock price is volatile and our shares may suffer a decline in value.
•    Our existing stockholders have significant control of our management and affairs.

Risks Related to Our Products, Product Candidates and Research and Development
Our success depends on our ability to effectively commercialize our products. If we and our collaborators are unable to effectively commercialize our products and to expand their utilization, our ability to generate significant revenue and our prospects for profitability will be adversely affected.
Our three marketed products are ADCETRIS®, or brentuximab vedotin, PADCEV®, or enfortumab vedotin-ejfv, and TUKYSA®, or tucatinib. Our ability to generate revenue from product sales and our prospects for profitability are substantially dependent on our and our collaborators’ ability to effectively commercialize ADCETRIS, PADCEV and TUKYSA and expand their utilization. We may not be able to fully realize the commercial potential of our products, or commercial sales of our products may be lower than our projections, for a number of reasons, including:
we and our collaborators may be unable to effectively commercialize our products, including in any new markets or in any new indications for which we receive marketing approval;
we may not be able to establish or demonstrate in the medical community the safety, efficacy or value of our products and their potential advantages compared to existing and future therapeutics in their approved indications;
we and our collaborators may not be able to obtain and maintain regulatory and other required governmental approvals to market our products for their currently approved indications in any additional territories or for any additional indications, including any additional approvals for PADCEV or TUKYSA, which would limit the sales and commercial potential of the applicable product;

new competitive therapies in ADCETRIS’ approved indications, including immuno-oncology agents such as PD-1 inhibitors (e.g., pembrolizumab and nivolumab) and other novel agents (e.g., mogamulizumab), in PADCEV’s approved indication, including antibody drug conjugates (e.g., sacituzumab govitecan) and other targeted agents (e.g., erdafitinib for patients with select fibroblast growth factor receptor, or FGFR, genetic alterations), and in TUKYSA’s approved indication, including HER2-targeting agents (e.g., fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki, neratinib, margetuximab and SYD985), have been approved by regulatory authorities or may be submitted in the near term to regulatory authorities for approval, and these competitive products could negatively impact commercial sales of ADCETRIS, PADCEV or TUKYSA, respectively;
there may be changes to the labeling for our products, including ADCETRIS, PADCEV or TUKYSA, that further restrict how we market and sell our products, including as a result of data collected from any of the clinical trials that we and our collaborators are conducting or may in the future conduct for our products, or from investigator-sponsored studies of our products, and/or as a result of the use of our products in their approved indications;
the estimated incidence rate of new patients or the duration of therapy in the approved indications for our products may be lower than our projections;
there may continue to be adverse results or events reported in connection with the use of our products or product candidates, including in any of the clinical trials that we or our collaborators are conducting, or may conduct in the future, for our products or product candidates;
the negative impacts to our commercialization efforts, and those of our collaborators, resulting from the risks and evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may increase or become more severe;
in the case of PADCEV, our joint commercialization efforts in the U.S. under our collaboration with an affiliate of Astellas Pharma Inc., or Astellas, may be unsuccessful or we may encounter challenges in joint decision making and joint execution that adversely affect PADCEV product sales;
our products may be impacted by adverse reimbursement and coverage policies from government and private payors such as Medicare, Medicaid, insurance companies, health maintenance organizations and other plan administrators, or may be subject to pricing pressures enacted by industry organizations or state and federal governments, including as a result of increased scrutiny over pharmaceutical pricing or otherwise;
the relative price of our products may be higher than alternative treatment options, and therefore their reimbursement may be limited by private and governmental insurers;
physicians may be reluctant to prescribe our products due to side effects associated with their use or until longer term efficacy and safety data exist;
there may be changed or increased regulatory restrictions;
we may not have adequate financial or other resources to effectively commercialize our products; and
we may not be able to obtain adequate commercial supplies of our products to meet demand or at an acceptable cost.
In addition, the success of our product collaborations and the activities of our collaborators will significantly impact the development and commercialization of our products. We cannot control the amount and timing of resources that our collaborators dedicate to the development and commercialization of ADCETRIS, PADCEV or TUKYSA, or to their marketing and distribution. Our ability to generate royalty revenues from ADCETRIS product sales by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, or Takeda, and TUKYSA product sales by our collaborator, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., or Merck, depends on their respective abilities to obtain regulatory approvals for ADCETRIS and TUKYSA in their territories, and to achieve market acceptance of, and to otherwise effectively market, ADCETRIS and TUKYSA in their territories. Our ability to generate revenues from PADCEV product sales in the U.S. and in Astellas’ territories depends on our and Astellas’ ability to effectively jointly commercialize PADCEV in the U.S., and on Astellas’ ability to obtain regulatory approvals for, achieve market acceptance of, and otherwise effectively market, PADCEV in Astellas’ territories. Moreover, international sales of our products could be adversely affected by the imposition of governmental controls, political and economic instability, trade restrictions or barriers and changes in tariffs, global trade and political tensions, the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise.

We are closely evaluating the impacts of the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ability and the ability of our collaborators to effectively market, sell and distribute our products and to develop our products and product candidates. Our field-based personnel are using a mix of in-person interactions and electronic communications, such as emails, phone calls and video conferences, to support healthcare providers and patients. Many healthcare professionals that we normally call on are working a greater proportion of their working schedule from home and are facing additional demands on their time during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We are continuing to experience increased competition for virtual appointments with healthcare professionals and a significant reduction in the number of interactions our sales personnel are having with physicians. We expect the different quality of electronic interactions as compared with in-person interactions, as well as the reduced quantity of interactions during the COVID-19 pandemic, to reduce the effectiveness of our sales personnel, as well as those of our collaborators, which could negatively affect our product sales and those of our collaborators, as well as physician awareness of our products. With respect to PADCEV and TUKYSA specifically, we have not launched a product using primarily virtual communication channels in the past and cannot predict the effects that this approach will ultimately have on demand for PADCEV or TUKYSA. However, we believe that the need to conduct these activities virtually is negatively impacting our ability to connect with key customers, including those familiar with competitive products, and our ability to conduct payor engagements. We face a number of challenges that will limit our ability to fully resume in-person interactions for the foreseeable future, including increasing COVID-19 infection rates in many states, the potential for more severe outbreaks, the need to navigate varying restrictions for entering healthcare facilities and employee childcare obligations during virtual school sessions. In addition, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve rapidly, and we may subsequently be forced to, or subsequently determine that we should, resume a more restrictive remote work model, whether as a result of further spikes or surges in COVID-19 infection or hospitalization rates or otherwise. Moreover, the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are also unknown and it is possible that following the pandemic, healthcare institutions could alter their policies with respect to in person visits by pharmaceutical company representatives. COVID-19 related restrictions could also present product distribution challenges as we utilize recently initiated distribution channels for TUKYSA. We also expect that the conversion of medical conferences to a virtual format may reduce our ability to effectively disseminate scientific information about our products, which may result in decreased physician awareness of our products, their approved indications and their efficacy and safety. The evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may also negatively affect our product sales due to challenges in patient access to healthcare settings, significant increases in unemployment and the resulting loss of individual health insurance coverage, and inability to access government healthcare programs due to backlogs, some or all of which appear to be affecting diagnosis rates, may affect side effect management and course of treatment and may increase enrollment in our patient support programs. With respect to ADCETRIS specifically, impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic appear to be reducing the rate of Hodgkin lymphoma diagnoses. In addition, we have experienced lower than expected levels of our research and development spending, in part as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes some delays in clinical trial enrollment as well as reduced travel due to the conversion of medical and scientific meetings to virtual format. While we do not at this time anticipate the need to revise our publicly reported projected clinical milestone dates as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, there may be some impacts to our clinical study timelines, which, depending upon the duration and severity of the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, could ultimately delay data availability. In addition, many of our non-essential on-site research activities are currently significantly reduced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may negatively impact the number of investigational new drug application, or IND, candidates entering our clinical pipeline in future years. The extent to which the risks and evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic impact our business, our ability to generate sales of and revenues from our approved products, and our clinical development and regulatory efforts will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate duration and severity of the pandemic, government actions, such as travel restrictions, quarantines and social distancing requirements in the U.S. and in other countries, business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken in the U.S. and in other countries to contain and treat the disease, including the effectiveness and timing of vaccine programs in the U.S. and worldwide.

While we anticipate that sales of ADCETRIS will increase modestly in 2021 as compared to 2020, we have experienced and expect continued impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, which appear to be reducing the rate of Hodgkin lymphoma diagnoses. We have also experienced an increase in gross-to-net deductions that we believe is due to a shift in the locations where ADCETRIS is administered, which has increased the proportion of ADCETRIS sales through the federal 340B drug discount program. We also expect that our ability to maintain or continue to grow our ADCETRIS sales, if at all, will depend on our ability to establish or demonstrate to the medical community the value of ADCETRIS and its potential advantages compared to existing and future therapeutics in its approved indications, including in the frontline Hodgkin lymphoma indication, and the extent to which physicians make prescribing decisions with respect to ADCETRIS. Other important factors affecting our ADCETRIS sales include the incidence flow of patients eligible for treatment in ADCETRIS’ approved indications, the extent to which coverage and adequate levels of reimbursement for ADCETRIS are available from governments and other third-party payors, the impact of any healthcare reform measures that may be upheld, or adopted in the future, including measures that could result in more rigorous coverage criteria or reduce the price that we receive for ADCETRIS, increasing competition from competing therapies including pembrolizumab in multiple indications, including in the relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma indication, continuing impacts resulting from the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic including lower diagnosis rates, and the potential future approval of ADCETRIS in any additional indications. For these reasons, we cannot assure you that ADCETRIS sales will continue to grow or that we can maintain sales of ADCETRIS at or near current levels. In addition, as a result of these and other factors, our future ADCETRIS product sales can be difficult to accurately predict from period to period.
Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from our investment in PADCEV is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including our and Astellas’ ability to successfully jointly market and commercialize PADCEV in the U.S. in its approved indication, the extent to which we and Astellas are able to obtain regulatory approvals of PADCEV in additional indications in the U.S., including in the frontline metastatic urothelial cancer setting, and in territories outside the U.S., our ability and Astellas’ ability to successfully comply with rigorous post-marketing requirements, including obtaining the FDA’s agreement as to the confirmation of clinical benefit of PADCEV based on the results of the EV-301 clinical trial, the acceptance of PADCEV by the medical community and patients, the extent to which physicians make prescribing decisions with respect to PADCEV, the incidence flow of patients eligible for treatment in PADCEV’s approved indication, the duration of therapy for patients receiving PADCEV, the extent to which coverage and adequate levels of reimbursement for PADCEV are available from governments and other third-party payors, the impact of any healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, including measures that could potentially result in more rigorous coverage criteria and additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for PADCEV, potential competition from competing therapies, the impact of conducting launch activities virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic and other impacts resulting from the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic including potential negative impacts of reduced cancer diagnosis rates. In addition, as a result of these and other factors, including the lack of significant historical sales data, PADCEV sales are currently difficult to predict from period to period.
Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of our investment in TUKYSA is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including our and Merck’s ability to successfully launch, market and commercialize TUKYSA in our respective territories in its approved indication, the extent to which we and Merck are able to obtain regulatory and other required governmental and pricing and reimbursement approvals of TUKYSA in additional territories, the extent to which we and Merck are able to obtain regulatory approvals of TUKYSA in additional indications, including earlier lines of breast cancer and other HER2-positive cancers, the acceptance of TUKYSA by the medical community and patients, competition from other therapies, our and Merck’s ability to accurately predict and supply product demand, the extent to which coverage and reimbursement will be available from governments and other third-party payors, our ability to effectively commercialize a product outside of the U.S., the impact of conducting launch activities virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic and other impacts resulting from the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic including potential negative impacts of reduced cancer diagnosis rates. In addition, as a result of these and other factors, including the lack of significant historical sales data, TUKYSA sales are currently difficult to predict from period to period.
Our ability to grow our product sales in future periods is also dependent on price increases, and we periodically increase the price of our products. Price increases on our products and negative publicity regarding drug pricing and price increases generally, whether on our products or products distributed by other pharmaceutical companies, could negatively affect market acceptance of, and sales of, our products. In any event, we cannot assure you that price increases we have taken or may take in the future will not in the future negatively affect our product sales.

Our success also depends on our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for our product candidates and for our current products in additional territories, as well as our ability to expand the labeled indications of use for our current products, and, if the requisite approvals are obtained, our ability to successfully launch and commercialize our products in their approved indications. Our inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
Neither we nor our collaborators are permitted to market our product candidates in the U.S. or other countries until we obtain marketing approvals from the FDA and other applicable regulatory authorities, and we or our collaborators may never receive regulatory approval for the commercial sale of any of our product candidates. Likewise, we and our collaborators are required to obtain marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities in order to market our products in additional territories and to expand the labeled indications of use for our current products.
We have made and are continuing to make significant investments in a number of product candidates, including tisotumab vedotin and ladiratuzumab vedotin, and in seeking additional regulatory approvals for ADCETRIS, PADCEV and TUKYSA. However, obtaining marketing approval is a lengthy, expensive and uncertain process, approval is never assured, and we have limited experience in preparing and submitting the applications necessary to gain regulatory approvals. As an organization, we have limited experience applying for regulatory approvals in jurisdictions outside the U.S. and Canada. Further, the FDA and other regulatory agencies have substantial discretion in the approval process and determining when or whether regulatory approval will be obtained for our products and product candidates, including any regulatory approvals for ADCETRIS, PADCEV or TUKYSA in additional indications or in additional territories. In this regard, even if we believe the data collected from preclinical studies or clinical trials of our products and product candidates are promising, the FDA or any other regulatory authority or their respective advisors may disagree with our interpretations of this data. For example, we and Astellas recently submitted a supplemental Biologics License Application, or sBLA to the FDA based on the results of the EV-301 trial, seeking to convert PADCEV’s accelerated approval in the U.S. to regular approval, and we and Astellas recently submitted another sBLA for PADCEV to the FDA based on the results of the second cohort of the EV-201 trial. However, the FDA or its advisors may disagree with our interpretation of the data from these trials and/or may otherwise determine not to approve these sBLAs in a timely manner or at all. In addition, although the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation to PADCEV in combination with pembrolizumab, for treatment of patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who are unable to receive cisplatin-based chemotherapy in the first-line setting, this Breakthrough Therapy designation does not increase the likelihood that PADCEV will receive marketing approval in this indication or will otherwise receive any additional marketing approvals. Likewise, although we and Genmab A/S, or Genmab, submitted a Biologics License Application, or BLA, to the FDA seeking accelerated approval for tisotumab vedotin based on the results of the innovaTV 204 trial, we cannot be certain that the data from the innovaTV 204 trial will be sufficient to support accelerated approval. We cannot predict whether the BLA that we and Genmab submitted for tisotumab vedotin will be approved in a timely manner or at all. Although the FDA accepted the two sBLAs we and Astellas submitted for PADCEV and the BLA we and Genmab submitted for tisotumab vedotin for Priority Review, the Priority Review designation does not increase the likelihood that any of these applications will be approved. We also cannot assure you that any of our product candidates will receive any marketing approvals. In fact, it is possible that none of our product candidates will ever become commercial products. As a result, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of our investments in our product candidates.

Similarly, regulatory agencies may not approve the labeling claims that are necessary or desirable for the successful commercialization of our products in any additional indications or territories, or of any future approved product. Regulatory agencies also may approve a product for fewer or narrower indications than requested, or with a label that includes only subtypes of a particular indication rather than a more general disease classification. In addition, our products and product candidates could take a significantly longer time to gain new or initial regulatory approvals than we expect or may never gain new or initial regulatory approvals, which could delay or eliminate any potential product revenue from sales of our product candidates or of our products in any additional indications or territories and significantly delay or prevent us from achieving profitability. In this regard, part of our growth strategy is to continue to explore the use of ADCETRIS in different CD30-expressing lymphomas, to seek approval for PADCEV in our territories outside the U.S., and to continue to explore the use of PADCEV and TUKYSA in additional indications. However, we and/or our collaborators may be unable to obtain any regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of any of our products in any additional indications or territories in a timely manner or at all. For example, as part of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, the FDA has a goal to review and act on a percentage of all regulatory submissions in a given time frame. However, the FDA does not always meet its PDUFA target action dates, and if the FDA were to fail to meet its PDUFA target action date in the future for any of our current or future regulatory applications, the commercialization of the affected product candidate, or of the affected product in any additional indications, could be delayed or impaired. In addition, while regulatory authorities have not to date notified us of any delays in their review of our regulatory applications and we have not yet experienced any obvious delays as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible that we could experience delays in the timing of regulatory review and/or our interactions with regulatory authorities due to reduced working hours of governmental employees or by the diversion of authorities’ efforts and attention to approval of other therapeutics or other activities related to COVID-19, which could delay any approval decisions with respect to our or Merck’s regulatory applications for TUKYSA outside of the U.S., or our progress in advancing our development efforts with respect to other products and product candidates. Our interactions with regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions and across multiple products and product candidates continue but we cannot rule out the possibility of negative impacts on such interactions in the future as the effects of the pandemic continue to evolve.
Even if approved for commercial sale, our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from our investments in our product candidates and our efforts to expand the labeled indications of use and territories for our current products is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including our and our collaborators’ ability to successfully launch, market and commercialize our products, our reliance, in the case of PADCEV and tisotumab vedotin, on Astellas and Genmab, respectively, to effectively jointly launch and commercialize PADCEV and any potential future approved tisotumab vedotin product with us, our and our collaborators’ ability to successfully comply with rigorous post-marketing requirements, including confirmation of clinical benefit of PADCEV based on the results of the EV-301 trial, the acceptance of our approved products by the medical community and patients, and the extent to which coverage and reimbursement for our products will be available from government and health administration authorities, private health insurers and other third-party payors. For example, the commercialization of PADCEV and TUKYSA are at an early stage and may not be successful. In addition, the impacts of the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including potential negative impacts of reduced cancer diagnosis rates, could limit our and our collaborators' abilities to effectively commercialize PADCEV and TUKYSA. Restrictions on in-person interactions with healthcare providers will likely negatively impact our ability to connect with key customers, including those familiar with competitive products, and our ability to conduct payor engagements. If we and our collaborators are unable to successfully commercialize our products, our growth prospects and our prospects for profitability would be adversely affected. Likewise, prior to TUKYSA, we had no prior experience as an organization launching or commercializing a product outside the U.S. and Canada, which could adversely affect our ability to maximize the commercial potential of TUKYSA. Further, while our TUKYSA collaboration with Merck is intended to accelerate global availability of TUKYSA, we are wholly reliant on Merck’s ability to effectively launch and commercialize TUKYSA in territories outside of the U.S., Canada and Europe, and we have limited control of Merck’s actions. In addition, in many countries, including many countries in Europe, the proposed pricing for a drug must be approved before it may be lawfully marketed, and in some cases there are additional individual country requirements, which will delay entry of a product into a market or, if pricing is not approved, will prevent us from selling a product in a country where we have received regulatory approval. The launch of a newly approved product or of an existing product in a new market, including the launch of TUKYSA in countries in Europe where TUKYSA has not yet launched, could be delayed due to a variety of factors, including supply constraints, delays in arranging a commercial infrastructure, delays in obtaining pricing and reimbursement approvals or other factors, any of which risks could be heightened by the risks and the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. If we or Merck experience delays or unforeseen difficulties due to any of these factors, planned launches in the countries in question would be delayed, which could negatively impact anticipated revenue from TUKYSA. In addition, if we or Merck are unable to obtain favorable pricing and reimbursement approvals in territories that represent significant potential markets, our anticipated revenue from and growth prospects for TUKYSA in Europe and other regions could be negatively affected.

If we or our collaborators are unable to obtain and maintain necessary or desirable regulatory approvals for our products and product candidates, including for ADCETRIS, PADCEV and TUKYSA, in a timely manner, if at all, if the FDA or other regulatory authorities do not approve product labeling that is necessary or desirable for the successful commercialization of an approved product, or if sales of an approved product do not reach the levels we expect, then our anticipated revenue from our products and product candidates and our prospects for profitability would be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
Reports of adverse events or safety concerns involving our products or product candidates could delay or prevent us from obtaining or maintaining regulatory approvals or could negatively impact sales of our products or the prospects for our product candidates.
Reports of adverse events or safety concerns involving our products could interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials of our products, including the post-approval confirmatory studies that regulatory agencies have required us or our collaborators to complete. In addition, reports of adverse events or safety concerns involving our products could result in regulatory authorities requiring that we update the applicable product’s prescribing information, or limiting, denying or withdrawing approval of our products for any or all indications, including previously approved indications. There are no assurances that patients receiving our products will not experience serious adverse events, including fatal events, in the future, whether the serious adverse events are disclosed in the prescribing information or are newly reported. Further, there are no assurances that patients receiving our products with co-morbid diseases not previously studied, such as autoimmune diseases, will not experience new or different serious adverse events in the future.
The prescribing information for ADCETRIS includes warnings and precautions for various toxicities, as well as a boxed warning related to the risk that JC virus infection resulting in progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy and death can occur in patients receiving ADCETRIS. The prescribing information for PADCEV and TUKYSA also includes warnings and precautions for various toxicities and reactions, including certain fatal reactions. We may be required to update the prescribing information for our products, including boxed warnings, limitations of use, contraindications, warnings and precautions, and adverse reactions, based on reports of adverse events or safety concerns, or implement a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, or REMS. Side effects and toxicities associated with our products could affect the willingness of physicians to prescribe, and patients to utilize, our products and thus harm commercial sales of our products. Implementation of a REMS could advantage products that compete with ours or make it more difficult or expensive for us to distribute our products.
Likewise, reports of adverse events or safety concerns involving our product candidates could interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials of our product candidates, or could result in our or our collaborators’ inability to obtain regulatory approvals of our product candidates. Although we announced positive results from the innovaTV 204 trial, data continues to be generated in this trial and in other tisotumab vedotin trials. There may still be important new or evolving facts about the safety, efficacy, and risk versus benefit of each of our product candidates, including tisotumab vedotin, which may negatively impact our ability to develop and commercialize these product candidates. For example, in response to prior safety events observed in our clinical trials of PADCEV and tisotumab vedotin, including serious side effects and patient deaths, we have in the past, and may in the future, institute additional precautionary safety measures such as dosing caps and delays, enhanced monitoring for side effects, and modified patient inclusion and exclusion criteria. Additional and/or unexpected safety events could be observed in these or other trials that could delay or prevent us from advancing the clinical development of, or obtaining regulatory approvals for, our products and product candidates or require us to alter the approved labeling of our products, and may adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects.
Concerns regarding the safety of our products or product candidates as a result of undesirable side effects identified during clinical testing or otherwise could cause the FDA to order us to cease further development or commercialization of our products or the product candidates. Undesirable side effects caused by our products or product candidates could also result in denial of regulatory approval by the FDA or other regulatory authorities for any or all targeted indications, the requirement of additional trials, implementation of a REMS or the inclusion of unfavorable information in our product labeling, and in turn delay or prevent us from commercializing the applicable product or product candidate. In addition, actual or potential drug-related side effects could affect patient recruitment or the ability of enrolled patients to complete a trial for our products or product candidates or result in potential product liability claims. Any of these events could prevent us from developing or commercializing the applicable product or product candidate, and could significantly harm our business, results of operations and prospects.
Clinical trials are expensive and time consuming, may take longer than we expect or may not be completed at all, and their outcome is uncertain.
We and our collaborators are currently conducting multiple clinical trials for our products and product candidates and plan to commence additional trials of our products and product candidates in the future. Many of these trials, including phase 3 and pivotal phase 2 trials, were initiated based on only limited clinical data and we cannot be certain that the design or conduct of, or data collected from, these trials will be sufficient to support FDA or any regulatory approvals outside the U.S.
39

Table of Contents

Each of our clinical trials requires the investment of substantial expense and time and the outcome of these trials is uncertain. Later-stage clinical trials may differ in significant ways from earlier stage clinical trials and may have different outcomes. Differences in earlier- and later-stage clinical trials may include changes to inclusion and exclusion criteria, efficacy endpoints and statistical design. In this regard, despite the positive initial results we and Astellas reported from the EV-103 trial, we cannot be certain that PADCEV will demonstrate sufficient efficacy in other trials, including in the EV-302 trial, other cohorts of the EV-103 trial or any future trials or cohorts. Moreover, despite the positive initial data from the EV-103 trial, PADCEV may not demonstrate sufficient efficacy in any other clinical trials in a frontline setting and may never be approved for use in any frontline setting, which would significantly delay or prevent us from achieving profitability. Likewise, despite the positive results we reported from the HER2CLIMB trial, we cannot be certain that TUKYSA will demonstrate sufficient efficacy in other trials, including the HER2CLIMB-02 trial, and, despite the positive results we reported from the innovaTV 204 trial, we cannot be certain that tisotumab vedotin will demonstrate sufficient efficacy in other trials or will ever be approved for commercial sale. In addition, there may still be important facts about the safety, efficacy, and risk versus benefit of PADCEV, TUKYSA and tisotumab vedotin that are not known to us at this time which may negatively impact our ability to develop and commercialize PADCEV, TUKYSA or tisotumab vedotin as single agents or in combination with other agents. In this regard, in the first cohort of the EV-201 trial, there was one death due to interstitial lung disease, which occurred outside the safety-reporting period of the trial and was confounded by prolonged high-dose steroid use and suspected pneumonia, and in the initial results of the EV-103 trial, there was one death deemed to be treatment-related by the investigator, attributed to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. There was also one death deemed to be treatment-related by the investigator in the innovaTV 204 trial. In addition, in response to prior safety events observed in our clinical trials of PADCEV and tisotumab vedotin, including serious side effects and patient deaths, we have in the past, and may in the future, institute additional precautionary safety measures such as dosing caps and delays, enhanced monitoring for side effects, and modified patient inclusion and exclusion criteria. Additional and/or unexpected safety events or our failure to generate additional efficacy data in our clinical trials that support registration could significantly impact the value of PADCEV, TUKYSA and tisotumab vedotin to our business. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, including us, have suffered significant setbacks in late-stage clinical trials after achieving encouraging or positive results in early-stage development. We cannot be certain that we will not face similar setbacks in our ongoing or planned clinical trials, including in the ongoing pivotal trials for PADCEV and TUKYSA. If we or our collaborators fail to produce positive results in our ongoing or planned clinical trials of PADCEV, TUKYSA, tisotumab vedotin or any of our other product candidates, the development timeline and regulatory approval and commercialization prospects for PADCEV, TUKYSA, tisotumab vedotin and our other product candidates, and, correspondingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects, would be materially adversely affected.
The timing of the commencement, continuation and completion of each of our clinical trials may be subject to delays relating to various causes, including scheduling conflicts with participating clinicians and clinical institutions, difficulties in identifying and enrolling patients who meet trial eligibility criteria, failure of patients to complete the clinical trial, delays in accumulating the required number of clinical events for data analyses, delay or failure to obtain institutional review board, or IRB, approval to conduct a clinical trial at a prospective site, and shortages of available drug supply. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are working to advance our clinical trial activities, while also actively assessing and seeking to mitigate risks to our patients, partners, employees and clinical trial site personnel. Some of the sites participating in our clinical trials are affected by site closings, reduced capacity or other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are actively monitoring all clinical activities and currently are experiencing impacts to our ability to monitor patients, activate sites, screen and enroll patients, complete site monitoring and manage samples. The extent of the impact of these factors on a particular clinical trial depends on the current stage of activities at a given site, for example, study start up versus post-enrollment, and the impact on a clinical trial depends on the number of impacted sites participating in that clinical trial. In addition, we believe that rates of cancer diagnoses are lower than they would otherwise be as a result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may also negatively impact enrollment. While we do not at this time anticipate the need to revise our publicly reported projected clinical milestone dates as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, there may be some impacts to our clinical study timelines, which, depending upon the duration and severity of the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, could ultimately delay data availability. In addition, our ability to recruit and retain principal investigators and site staff could be adversely impacted by the risks of exposure to COVID-19 and by the conversion of medical conferences to virtual format. Further, due to the suspension of data monitoring activities at sites that do not currently allow remote monitoring, as well as impacts on the ability to monitor patients, maintain patient treatment according to the trial protocols and to manage samples, there is also the potential of negative impacts on data quality. While we are actively utilizing digital monitoring measures and other mitigations designed to prevent negative data quality impacts, if there were in fact a negative impact on data quality, we or our collaborators could be required to repeat, extend the duration of, or increase the size of clinical trials, which could significantly delay potential commercialization and require greater expenditures. We expect that similar factors will impact clinical studies operationalized by our collaborators. We cannot at this time fully forecast the scope of impacts that the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our ability to initiate trial sites, enroll and assess patients, handle the operational aspects of trials such as drug and sample management, run studies in accordance with the protocol and best practices and report trial results.

Table of Contents

Additionally, beyond impacts related to the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, patient enrollment is a function of many factors, including the size of the patient population, the proximity of patients to clinical sites, the eligibility criteria for the trial, the existence of competing clinical trials, perceived side effects and the availability of alternative or new treatments. From time to time we have experienced enrollment-related delays in clinical trials, including in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, and we will likely continue to experience similar delays in our current and future trials.
Many of our future and ongoing clinical trials are being or will be coordinated or conducted with Takeda, Astellas, Merck, Genmab, Bristol-Myers-Squibb Company, or BMS, and other collaborators, which may delay the commencement or adversely affect the continuation or completion of these trials. In addition, our collaborators have operational control over some of the studies we conduct jointly and we do not have full visibility into these studies run by our collaborators. We also depend on medical institutions to conduct our clinical trials in compliance with Good Clinical Practice, or GCP, and to the extent they fail to enroll patients for our clinical trials, fail to conduct our trials in accordance with GCP, or are delayed for a significant time in achieving full enrollment, whether due to the risks and evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, our clinical trials and regulatory filings regarding our products and product candidates may be negatively impacted including possible changes to data, results, or conclusions, increased costs, and delays to regulatory timelines, which may harm our reputation and business. In addition, we conduct clinical trials in countries outside the U.S. which may subject us to further delays and expenses as a result of increased drug shipment costs and additional regulatory requirements, as well as expose us to risks associated with different standards of medical care, and currency transactions insofar as changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to the local currency where the trial is being conducted may impact our actual costs. In addition, conducting clinical trials in countries that are experiencing heightened impact from the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may exacerbate these risks.
Clinical trials must be conducted in accordance with FDA or other applicable government guidelines and are subject to oversight by the FDA, other governmental agencies, including data protection authorities, the data safety monitoring boards for such trials and the IRBs or Ethics Committees for the institutions in which such trials are being conducted. In addition, clinical trials must be conducted with supplies of our products or product candidates produced under cGMP and other requirements in the country in which the trial is being conducted, and may require large numbers of test patients. We or our collaborators, the FDA, other governmental agencies or the applicable data safety monitoring boards, IRBs and Ethics Committees could delay, suspend, halt or modify our clinical trials of our products or any of our product candidates, for numerous reasons, including:
ADCETRIS, PADCEV, TUKYSA or the applicable product candidate may have unforeseen safety issues or adverse side effects, including fatalities, or a determination may be made that a clinical trial presents unacceptable health risks;
deficiencies in the conduct of the clinical trial, including failure to conduct the clinical trial in accordance with regulatory requirements, GCP, clinical protocols or regulations relating to data protection;
problems, errors or other deficiencies with respect to data collection, data processing and analysis;
deficiencies in the clinical trial operations or trial sites resulting in the imposition of a clinical hold;
the time required to determine whether ADCETRIS, PADCEV, TUKYSA or the applicable product candidate is effective may be longer than expected;
fatalities or other adverse events arising during a clinical trial due to medical problems that may not be related to clinical trial treatments;
ADCETRIS, PADCEV, TUKYSA or the applicable product candidate may not appear to be more effective than current therapies;
the quality or stability of ADCETRIS, PADCEV, TUKYSA or the applicable product candidate may fall below acceptable standards;
our inability and the inability of our collaborators to produce or obtain sufficient quantities of ADCETRIS, PADCEV, TUKYSA or the applicable product candidate to complete the trials;
our inability and the inability of our collaborators to reach agreement on acceptable terms with prospective trial sites, the terms of which can be subject to extensive negotiation and may vary significantly among different trial sites;
our inability and the inability of our collaborators to obtain IRB or Ethics Committee approval to conduct a clinical trial at a prospective site;
changes in governmental regulations or administrative actions that adversely affect our ability and the ability of our collaborators to continue to conduct or to complete clinical trials;

lack of adequate funding to continue the clinical trial, including the incurrence of unforeseen costs due to enrollment delays, requirements to conduct additional trials and studies and increased expenses associated with the services of our clinical research organizations and other third parties;
our inability and the inability of our collaborators to recruit and enroll patients to participate in clinical trials for reasons including competition from other clinical trial programs for the same or similar indications;
our inability and the inability of our collaborators to retain patients who have initiated a clinical trial but may be prone to withdraw due to side effects from the therapy, lack of efficacy or personal issues, or who are lost to further follow-up;
our inability and the inability of our collaborators to ensure adequate statistical power to detect statistically significant treatment effects, whether through our inability to enroll or retain patients in trials or because the specified number of events designated for a completed trial have not occurred; or
the risks and evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition, we or our collaborators may experience significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials, even after promising results in earlier trials, including unexpected adverse events that may occur when our product candidates are combined with other therapies.
Negative or inconclusive clinical trial results could adversely affect our ability and the ability of our collaborators to obtain regulatory approvals of our product candidates, including tisotumab vedotin, or to market ADCETRIS, PADCEV or TUKYSA and/or expand ADCETRIS, PADCEV or TUKYSA into additional indications and territories. In addition, clinical trial results are frequently susceptible to varying interpretations that may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approvals. For example, although we and Astellas reported that the EV-301 trial met its primary endpoint of overall survival and also reported positive topline results from the second cohort of patients in the EV-201 trial, regulatory authorities, including the FDA, or their advisors may disagree with our interpretation of the data from these trials. As a result, the FDA may not approve the sBLA that we and Astellas submitted for PADCEV based on the EV-301 trial or the sBLA that we and Astellas submitted for PADCEV based on the second cohort of the EV-201 trial in a timely manner or at all. Further, although we announced positive results from the innovaTV 204 trial, the FDA, or its advisors, may disagree with our interpretation of the data from the innovaTV 204 trial and/or may otherwise determine not to approve the BLA that we and Genmab submitted for tisotumab vedotin in a timely manner or at all. Moreover, adverse medical events during a clinical trial, including patient fatalities, could cause a trial to be redone or terminated, require us to cease development of a product candidate or the further development or commercialization of ADCETRIS, PADCEV or TUKYSA, result in our failure to expand ADCETRIS, PADCEV or TUKYSA into additional indications and territories, adversely affect our ability to market ADCETRIS, PADCEV or TUKYSA, and may result in other negative consequences to us, including the inclusion of unfavorable information in our product labeling. Further, some of our clinical trials are overseen by an independent data monitoring committee, or IDMC, and an IDMC may determine to delay or suspend one or more of these trials due to safety or futility findings based on events occurring during a clinical trial. In addition, we may be required to implement additional risk mitigation measures that could require us to suspend our clinical trials if certain safety events occur.

The successful commercialization of our products will depend on a variety of factors, including the extent to which governmental authorities and health insurers establish adequate coverage and reimbursement levels and pricing policies, and the acceptance of our products by the medical community and patients.
Successful sales of our current and any future approved products will depend, in part, on the extent to which coverage and reimbursement for our products will be available from government and health administration authorities, private health insurers and other third-party payors. To manage healthcare costs, many governments and third-party payors increasingly scrutinize the pricing of new products and require increasing levels of evidence of favorable clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness before extending coverage. In light of this pricing scrutiny, we cannot be sure that we and our collaborators will achieve and maintain coverage for our products and any product candidates that we or our collaborators commercialize and, if available, that the reimbursement rates will be adequate and grant access to all eligible patients. If we or our collaborators are unable to obtain coverage and adequate levels of reimbursement for our current and any future approved products that we or our collaborators commercialize, their marketability will be negatively and materially impacted. For example, we cannot be certain that third-party payors will continue to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for ADCETRIS in the frontline Hodgkin lymphoma indication based on the relative price and perceived benefit of ADCETRIS as compared to alternative treatment options, which may materially harm our ability to maintain or increase sales of ADCETRIS or may otherwise negatively affect future ADCETRIS sales. Similarly, we cannot be certain that third-party payors will provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for PADCEV or TUKYSA based on their relative price and perceived benefits as compared to alternative treatment options or otherwise, which may materially harm our and our collaborators’ ability to successfully commercialize PADCEV and TUKYSA in our respective designated territories. In addition, we have experienced an increase in gross-to-net deductions that we believe is due to a shift in the locations where ADCETRIS is administered, which has increased the proportion of ADCETRIS sales through the federal 340B drug discount program. We may also experience additional shifts from commercial payor coverage to government payor coverage in the U.S., which would further increase gross-to-net deductions.
In many jurisdictions, including in Europe, the proposed pricing for a drug must be approved in an individual country before it may be lawfully marketed, which could delay entry of a product into a market or, if pricing is not approved, may prevent us or our collaborators from selling a product in a country where we or our collaborators have received regulatory approval. In European countries where we have obtained regulatory approval of TUKYSA, we will seek pricing and reimbursement agreements for TUKYSA in accordance with local timelines. As an organization, we did not have any experience applying for pricing and reimbursement approvals in jurisdictions outside the U.S. and Canada prior to our applications with respect to TUKYSA. Further, authorities in Europe have substantial discretion in the pricing and reimbursement approval process and in determining when or whether coverage will be obtained for our products or product candidates, including any approvals for our medicines in initial and additional indications or in additional territories. In addition, in some cases, they may lower the price for a medicine after the price has been established. The launch of TUKYSA in additional markets, including countries in Europe where TUKYSA has not yet launched, could be delayed due to a variety of factors, including supply constraints, delays in arranging a commercial infrastructure, delays encountered by our collaborator, Merck, delays in obtaining pricing and reimbursement approvals or other delays related to regulatory requirements. If we or Merck experience delays or unforeseen difficulties due to any of these factors, planned launches in the countries in question would be delayed, which could negatively impact anticipated revenue from TUKYSA. In addition, if we or Merck are unable to obtain favorable pricing and reimbursement approvals in the countries that represent significant potential markets, our anticipated revenue from and growth prospects for TUKYSA in Europe and other regions could be negatively affected.
Eligibility for coverage and reimbursement does not imply that a drug will be paid for in all cases or at a rate that captures the value delivered to patients, payers and the overall healthcare system, allows for continued investment in innovative treatments for cancer patients or that covers our costs, including research, development, manufacture, sale and distribution. In addition, obtaining and maintaining adequate coverage and reimbursement status is time-consuming and costly. Third-party payors may deny coverage and reimbursement status altogether of a given drug product, or cover the product but may also establish prices at levels that are too low to enable us to realize an appropriate return on our investment in product development or limit access to select patient populations reducing revenue potential. Further, in the U.S., there is no uniform policy of coverage and reimbursement among third-party payors. Third-party payors often rely upon Medicare coverage policy and payment limitations in setting their own coverage and reimbursement policies. However, decisions regarding the extent of coverage and amount of reimbursement to be provided is made on a payor-by-payor basis. One payor’s determination to provide coverage for a product does not assure that other payors will also provide coverage for the product. Because the rules and regulations regarding coverage and reimbursement change frequently, in some cases at short notice, even when there is favorable coverage and reimbursement, future changes may occur that adversely impact the favorable status.

The unavailability or inadequacy of third-party coverage and reimbursement could have a material adverse effect on the market acceptance of our current and any future approved products and the future revenues we may expect to receive from those products. In addition, we are unable to predict what additional legislation or regulation relating to the healthcare industry or third-party coverage and reimbursement may be upheld or enacted in the future, or what effect such legislation or regulation would have on our business. Continuing negative publicity regarding pharmaceutical pricing practices and ongoing governmental and societal scrutiny create significant uncertainty regarding regulation of the healthcare industry and third-party coverage and reimbursement in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. If healthcare policies or reforms intended to curb healthcare costs are implemented or if we experience negative publicity with respect to pricing of our products or the pricing of pharmaceutical products generally, the prices that we charge for our current and any future approved products may be limited, our revenues from sales of our current and any future approved products may be negatively impacted.
The degree of market acceptance among patients, physicians, and third-party payors is also important to our ability to successfully commercialize our current and any future approved products. The degree of acceptance will depend on a number of factors including the clinical benefits of our products, effectiveness of our marketing, sales and distribution strategy and operations, the acceptance of our product by patients, physicians and third-party payors, the perceived advantages and relative cost, safety and efficacy of alternative treatments, and the acceptance and degree of adoption of our products by institutional treatment pathways and institutional, local, and national clinical guidelines such as the National Comprehensive Cancer Networks® Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology, or the NCCN Guidelines, or other country-specific guidelines. In the U.S., many oncology practices and healthcare providers rely on the NCCN Guidelines or other institutional practice pathways in decisions related to treatment of patients and utilization of medicines. To the extent that our current or any future approved products are not included or positioned favorably in such treatment guidelines and pathways, the full utilization potential of our products may not be reached, which may harm our ability to successfully commercialize our current or any future approved products.
Our product candidates are in various stages of development, and it is possible that none of our product candidates will ever become commercial products.
Although we announced positive results from the innovaTV 204 trial of our late-stage product candidate, tisotumab vedotin and we and Genmab submitted a BLA to the FDA seeking accelerated approval for tisotumab vedotin, we cannot be certain that the data from the innovaTV 204 trial will be sufficient to support accelerated approval. We cannot predict whether the BLA that we and Genmab submitted for tisotumab vedotin will be approved in a timely manner or at all. Our clinical pipeline also includes ladiratuzumab vedotin, which is in phase 2 clinical development, and other product candidates that are in phase 1 clinical development. In addition, we have multiple preclinical and research-stage programs that employ our proprietary technologies. We will require significant financial resources and additional personnel in order to continue to advance the development of, pursue, potentially obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for, and potentially commercialize tisotumab vedotin and our other product candidates, if we are able to do so at all.
If a product candidate fails at any stage of development or fails to receive regulatory approval, or we or our collaborators otherwise determine to discontinue development of that product candidate, we will not have the anticipated revenues from that product candidate to fund our operations, and we may not receive any return on our investment in that product candidate. Preclinical studies and any encouraging or positive preliminary and interim data from our clinical trials of our product candidates may not be predictive of the results of ongoing or later clinical trials. Even if we or our collaborators are able to complete our planned clinical trials of our product candidates according to our current development timeline, any encouraging or positive results from clinical trials of our product candidates in earlier stage trials may not be replicated in subsequent later-stage trials. For example, although we reported positive results from the innovaTV 204 trial of tisotumab vedotin, we cannot be certain that tisotumab vedotin will demonstrate sufficient efficacy in other trials. In addition, we are developing products and product candidates in indications in which competition is intense, and it is possible that a clinical trial we run may meet its safety and efficacy endpoints but we may choose not to advance the development and commercialization of a product or product candidate in one or more indications due to changes in the competitive environment and the rapid evolution of the standard of care. As a result, we and our collaborators may conduct lengthy and expensive clinical trials of our products and product candidates only to learn that a product or product candidate is not an effective treatment or is not superior to existing approved therapies in the applicable indication, or has an unacceptable safety profile. Any of these results could prevent or significantly delay regulatory approval for the applicable product in any additional indications or of the applicable product candidate or could cause us to discontinue or limit the further development of such product or product candidate. If we or our collaborators fail to produce positive results in our ongoing or planned clinical trials of tisotumab vedotin or any of our other product candidates, the development timeline and regulatory approval and commercialization prospects for that product candidate, and our ability to recoup our investment in that product candidate, would be materially adversely affected.

Due to the uncertain and time-consuming clinical development and regulatory approval process, we may not successfully develop any of our product candidates, or we may choose to discontinue the development of product candidates for a variety of reasons such as safety, risk versus benefit profile, exclusivity, competitive landscape, or prioritization of our resources. It is possible that none of our product candidates will ever become commercial products. In addition, we have to make decisions about which clinical stage and pre-clinical product candidates to develop and advance, and we may not have the resources to invest in certain product candidates, or clinical data and other development considerations may not support the advancement of one or more product candidates. Decision-making about which product candidates to prioritize involves inherent uncertainty, and our development program decision-making and resource prioritization decisions may not improve our results of operations or prospects or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to effectively advance our development programs could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects, and cause the price of our common stock to decline. In addition, many of our non-essential on-site research activities are currently significantly reduced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may negatively impact the number of IND candidates entering our clinical pipeline in future years.
Any failures or setbacks in our ADC development program or our other platform technologies could negatively affect our business and financial position.
ADCETRIS, PADCEV and our tisotumab vedotin and ladiratuzumab vedotin product candidates are all based on our antibody-drug conjugate, or ADC, technology, which utilizes proprietary stable linkers and potent cell-killing synthetic agents. Our ADC technology is also the basis of our license agreements with AbbVie Biotechnology Ltd., or AbbVie, Astellas, Genentech, Inc., a member of the Roche Group, or Genentech, and GlaxoSmithKline LLC, or GSK, and our collaboration agreements with Takeda, Astellas, Genmab and Merck. Any failures or setbacks in our ADC development program or with respect to our additional proprietary technologies, including adverse effects resulting from the use of this technology in human clinical trials and/or the imposition of clinical holds on our trials of our product candidates, could have a detrimental impact on the continued commercialization of our products in their current or any potential future approved indications and on our product candidate pipeline, as well as our ability to maintain and/or enter into new corporate collaborations regarding our ADC technology, which would negatively affect our business and financial position.
We face intense competition and rapid technological change, which may result in others discovering, developing or commercializing competing products before or more successfully than we do.
The biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries are characterized by rapidly advancing technologies, intense competition and a strong emphasis on proprietary products. Many third parties compete with us in developing various approaches to treating cancer. They include pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, academic institutions and other research organizations.
Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in research and development, manufacturing, preclinical testing, conducting clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approval and marketing than we do. In addition, many of these competitors are active in seeking patent protection and licensing arrangements in anticipation of collecting royalties for use of technology that they have developed. Smaller or early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies. These third parties compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and management personnel, as well as in acquiring technologies complementary to our programs.
With respect to ADCETRIS, there are several other FDA approved drugs for its approved indications. BMS’s nivolumab and Merck’s pembrolizumab are approved for the treatment of certain patients with relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma, and Celgene’s romidepsin and Acrotech Biopharma’s pralatrexate and belinostat are approved for relapsed or refractory systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma, or sALCL, among other T-cell lymphomas. Kyowa Kirin’s mogamulizumab is approved for adult patients with relapsed or refractory mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome. The competition ADCETRIS faces from these and other therapies is intensifying. Additionally, Merck is conducting a phase 3 clinical trial in relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma comparing pembrolizumab with ADCETRIS. An interim analysis of this clinical trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival for pembrolizumab compared with ADCETRIS, resulting in a label expansion to an earlier line of therapy, and we expect increased competition from pembrolizumab in this indication. We are also aware of multiple investigational agents currently being studied that, if successful, may compete with ADCETRIS in the future. Data have also been presented on several developing technologies, including bispecific antibodies and CAR modified T-cell therapies that may compete with ADCETRIS in the future. Further, there are many competing approaches used in the treatment of patients in ADCETRIS’ approved indications, including autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant, combination chemotherapy, clinical trials with experimental agents and single-agent regimens.

With respect to PADCEV, other treatments in pretreated metastatic urothelial cancer include sacituzumab govitecan (a Trop-2-directed antibody and topoisomerase inhibitor conjugate), checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy, generic chemotherapy and, for patients with select FGFR genetic alterations, Janssen’s erdafitinib. Treatment in front line metastatic urothelial cancer has traditionally been treated with chemotherapy alone but is evolving to include two checkpoint inhibitor therapies for cisplatin-ineligible patients with high PD-L1 expression or patients who are ineligible for platinum therapy. Several trials of investigational agents in combination with chemotherapy or other novel agents are ongoing. Continued development of PD-(L)1 targeted therapies across early stage bladder cancer and in metastatic bladder cancer in frontline combinations with chemotherapy, in frontline maintenance with the recent approval of avelumab, and in pretreated disease, could potentially impact PADCEV usage and enrollment to PADCEV clinical trials.
With respect to TUKYSA, there are multiple marketed products which target HER2, including the antibodies trastuzumab and pertuzumab and the antibody drug conjugate T-DM1. In addition, lapatinib is an EGFR/HER2 oral kinase inhibitor for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, and neratinib is an irreversible pan-HER kinase inhibitor indicated for extended adjuvant treatment and has been recently approved for patients who have received two or more prior anti-HER2-based regimens in the metastatic setting. Daiichi Sankyo and AstraZeneca have fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki which was recently approved by the FDA for patients who have received two or more prior anti-HER2-based regimens in the metastatic breast cancer setting and in HER2 positive gastric cancer. The agent was also granted conditional marketing authorization by the EMA for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have received two or more prior anti-HER2-based regiments. Byondis has an antibody drug conjugate, SYD985, in a pivotal study in this patient population and MacroGenics has a HER2 targeted, Fc-optimized antibody, margetuximab, which was recently approved by the FDA.
With respect to tisotumab vedotin, in June 2018, Merck’s pembrolizumab was approved for the treatment of recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer with disease progression on or after chemotherapy in patients whose tumors express PD-L1. We are also aware of other companies that currently have products in development for the treatment of late-stage cervical cancer which could be competitive with tisotumab vedotin, including Agenus, BMS, Iovance Biotherapeutics, Merck, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Sanofi-Aventis and Roche. In March 2021, Sanofi-Aventis and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals announced positive overall survival data from the phase 3 EMPOWER Cervical-01 trial evaluating cemiplimab monotherapy in previously chemotherapy-treated recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer patients.
Many other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are developing and/or marketing therapies for the same types of cancer that our product candidates are designed and being developed to treat. For example, we believe that companies including AbbVie, ADC Therapeutics, Affimed, Agios, Amgen, Astellas, Bayer, Biogen, BMS, Celgene, Daiichi Sankyo, Eisai, Genentech, GSK, Gilead, ImmunoGen, Infinity, Janssen, Karyopharm, MacroGenics, MedImmune, MEI Pharma, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, Puma Biotech, Sanofi-Aventis, Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Takeda, Teva, and Xencor are developing and/or marketing products or technologies that may compete with ours. In addition, our ADC collaborators may develop compounds utilizing our technology that may compete with product candidates that we are developing.
We are aware of other companies that have technologies that may be competitive with ours, including AbbVie, ADC Therapeutics, Astellas, AstraZeneca, BMS, Daiichi Sankyo, Gilead, ImmunoGen, Janssen, MedImmune, Merck, Mersana, Pfizer, Roche, Sutro, and Zymeworks, all of which have ADC technology. ImmunoGen has several ADCs in development that may compete with our product candidates. ImmunoGen has also established partnerships with other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to allow those other companies to utilize ImmunoGen’s technology, including Sanofi-Aventis, Genentech, Novartis, Takeda and Lilly. We are also aware of a number of companies developing monoclonal antibodies directed at the same antigen targets or for the treatment of the same diseases as our product candidates.
In addition, in the U.S., the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 created an abbreviated approval pathway for biological products that are demonstrated to be “highly similar” or “biosimilar” to or “interchangeable” with an FDA approved biological product. This pathway allows competitors to reference the FDA’s prior approvals regarding innovative biological products and data submitted with a BLA to obtain approval of a biosimilar application 12 years after the time of approval of the innovative biological product. The 12-year exclusivity period runs from the initial approval of the innovator product and not from approval of a new indication. In addition, the 12-year exclusivity period does not prevent another company from independently developing a product that is highly similar to the innovative product, generating all the data necessary for a full BLA and seeking approval. Exclusivity only assures that another company cannot rely on the FDA’s prior approvals in approving a BLA for an innovator’s biological product to support the biosimilar product’s approval. Further, under the FDA’s current interpretation, it is possible that a biosimilar applicant could obtain approval for one or more of the indications approved for the innovator product by extrapolating clinical data from one indication to support approval for other indications. In the EU, the EC has granted marketing authorizations for biosimilars pursuant to a set of general and product class-specific guidelines. We are aware of many pharmaceutical and biotechnology and other companies that are actively engaged in research and development of biosimilars or interchangeable products.
46

Table of Contents

It is possible that our competitors will succeed in developing technologies that are more effective than ADCETRIS, PADCEV, TUKYSA, tisotumab vedotin or our other product candidates or that would render our technology obsolete or noncompetitive, or will succeed in developing biosimilar, interchangeable or generic products for ADCETRIS, PADCEV, TUKYSA, tisotumab vedotin or our other product candidates. We anticipate that we will continue to face increasing competition in the future as new companies enter our market and scientific developments surrounding biosimilars and other cancer therapies continue to accelerate. We cannot predict to what extent the entry of biosimilars or other competing products will impact potential future sales of ADCETRIS, PADCEV, TUKYSA, tisotumab vedotin or our other product candidates.
Risks Related to Regulatory Approval and Oversight, and Other Legal Compliance Matters
Even if we and our collaborators obtain regulatory approvals to market our current and any future approved products, we and our collaborators will remain subject to extensive ongoing regulatory obligations and oversight, including post-approval requirements, that could result in significant additional expense and could negatively impact our and our collaborators’ ability to commercialize our current and any future approved products.
We are subject to extensive ongoing obligations and continued regulatory review from applicable regulatory agencies with respect to any product for which we have obtained regulatory approval, including ADCETRIS, PADCEV and TUKYSA in each of their approved indications, such as continued adverse event reporting requirements and the requirement to have some of our promotional materials pre-cleared by the FDA. There may also be additional post-marketing obligations, all of which may result in significant expense and limit our and our collaborators’ ability to commercialize our current and any future approved products. For example, the FDA’s accelerated approval of PADCEV included a requirement for a confirmatory trial, EV-301, to confirm the clinical benefit and provide additional long-term efficacy data that may inform product labeling. If the FDA does not agree with our interpretation of the data from this post-marketing study, it could withdraw approval of PADCEV or require the inclusion of unfavorable safety information in our product labeling, which could seriously harm our business. Moreover, in connection with PADCEV’s accelerated approval, the labeling and advertising and promotion of PADCEV are subject to additional regulatory requirements, which entail significant expense and could negatively impact the commercialization of PADCEV. In addition, the use of any of our products may uncover additional adverse events that require us to update the product’s prescribing information, limit or prevent that product’s widespread use or that result in the withdrawal of that product from the market. Any problems with a product or any violation of ongoing regulatory obligations could result in restrictions on the applicable product, including the withdrawal of the applicable product from the market.
ADCETRIS is approved under conditional marketing authorization in relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma, relapsed cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and in both relapsed and frontline sALCL in the EU under regulations which allow for approval of products for cancer or other serious or life threatening illnesses based on a surrogate endpoint or on a clinical endpoint other than survival or irreversible morbidity. Takeda is subject to certain post-approval requirements, including the requirement to conduct clinical trials to confirm clinical benefit. Takeda’s failure to provide these additional clinical data from confirmatory studies could result in the European Commission, or EC, withdrawing approval of ADCETRIS in the EU for certain indications, which would negatively impact anticipated royalty revenue from ADCETRIS sales by Takeda in the EU and could adversely affect our results of operations. The FDA’s approval of ADCETRIS in combination with chemotherapy for patients with previously untreated CD30-expressing peripheral T-cell lymphoma, or the frontline PTCL indication, included a post-marketing commitment to develop a clinically validated in-vitro diagnostic device for the selection of patients with CD30-expressing PTCL, not including sALCL, for treatment with ADCETRIS in this indication. We and Takeda have a collaboration with Ventana Medical Systems, Inc., or Ventana, under which Ventana is working to develop, manufacture and commercialize a companion diagnostic test to measure CD30 expression levels in tissue specimens. If Ventana develops an in-vitro diagnostic device that we are able to clinically validate, the FDA or another regulatory authority may revise our label for the frontline PTCL indication or in connection with any future approvals to require the use of the in-vitro test as a companion diagnostic. This may limit our ability to commercialize ADCETRIS in the applicable treatment setting due to potential label requirements, prescriber practices, constraints on availability of the diagnostic, or other factors. If Ventana is unable to successfully develop the CD30 in-vitro diagnostic, or experiences delays in doing so, or we experience delays in clinical validation of the diagnostic, we will likely need to renegotiate the timing or content of our post-marketing commitment regarding the in-vitro diagnostic device with the FDA.

We and the manufacturers of our current and any future approved products are also required, or will be required, to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMP, regulations, which include requirements relating to quality control and quality assurance as well as the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Further, regulatory agencies must approve these manufacturing facilities before they can be used to manufacture our products and product candidates, and these facilities are subject to ongoing regulatory inspections. In addition, regulatory agencies subject an approved product, its manufacturer and the manufacturer’s facilities to continual review and inspections, including periodic unannounced inspections. The subsequent discovery of previously unknown problems with our current or any future approved products, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or problems with the facilities where our current or any future approved products are manufactured, including potential staffing shortages, production slowdowns and the extensive reliance on virtual oversight of third-party manufacturing in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, may result in restrictions on the marketing of our current or any such future approved products, up to and including withdrawal of the affected product from the market. If our manufacturing facilities, our collaborators’ manufacturing facilities, or those of our respective suppliers, fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, such noncompliance could result in regulatory action, delays in regulatory timelines and additional costs to us.
Failure to comply with applicable FDA and other regulatory requirements may subject us to administrative or judicially imposed sanctions, including:
issuance of Form FDA 483 notices or Warning Letters by the FDA or other regulatory agencies;
imposition of fines and other civil penalties;
criminal prosecutions;
injunctions, suspensions or revocations of regulatory approvals;
suspension of any ongoing clinical trials;
total or partial suspension of manufacturing;
delays in commercialization;
refusal by the FDA to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications submitted by us;
refusals to permit drugs to be imported into or exported from the U.S.;
restrictions on operations, including costly new manufacturing requirements; and
product recalls or seizures.
The policies of the FDA and other regulatory agencies may change and additional government regulations may be enacted that could prevent or delay regulatory approval of our product candidates or of ADCETRIS, PADCEV or TUKYSA in any additional indications or territories, or further restrict or regulate post-approval activities. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of adverse government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative action, either in the U.S. or abroad. If we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we or our collaborators might not be permitted to market our current or any future approved products and our business would suffer.
Healthcare law and policy changes may negatively impact our business, including by decreasing the prices that we and our collaborators receive for our products.
In recent years, there have been a number of legislative and regulatory actions and executive orders that have made reforms to the U.S. healthcare system. For example, the federal government has implemented reforms to government healthcare programs in the U.S., including changes to the methods for, and amounts of, Medicare reimbursement and changes to the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program. The implementation of certain of these policy changes has decreased our revenues and increased our costs, and federal and state legislatures, health agencies and third-party payors continue to focus on containing the cost of health care. Further legislative and regulatory changes, and increasing pressure from social sources, are likely to further influence the manner in which our products are priced, reimbursed, prescribed and purchased. For example, additional reforms could result in further reductions in coverage and levels of reimbursement for our products, expansion of U.S. government rebate programs, increases in the rebates payable under these programs, requests for additional or supplemental rebates, and additional downward pressure on the prices that we and our collaborators receive for our products.

The Trump administration put forth a number of proposals aimed at containing prescription drug prices and announced several Executive Orders that sought to implement a number of the administration’s proposals. For example, as a result of Executive Orders, the FDA put in place rules that clear a path for importation of some Canadian drugs into the U.S. Biological products were excluded from the rule’s definition of “eligible prescription drug,” however TUKYSA may be subject to importation from Canada under this rule, which could negatively affect TUKYSA sales in the U.S. Further, in November 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued an interim final rule implementing the Trump administration's Most Favored Nation Executive Order, which would tie Medicare Part B payments for certain physician-administered drugs to the lowest price paid in other economically advanced countries. While the implementation of the interim final rule is currently enjoined, we expect the Biden administration to pursue and implement measures aimed at reducing pharmaceutical drug pricing. Also, in the current climate, price increases on our products and negative publicity regarding drug pricing and price increases generally, whether on our products or products distributed by other pharmaceutical companies, could negatively affect market acceptance of, and sales of, our products.
Some states are also considering legislation and ballot initiatives that would control the prices and coverage and reimbursement levels of drugs, including laws to allow importation of pharmaceutical products from lower cost jurisdictions outside the U.S. and laws intended to impose price controls on state drug purchases.
In addition, governments in countries outside the U.S. control the costs of pharmaceuticals. Many European countries and Canada have established pricing and reimbursement policies that contain costs by referencing the price of the same or similar products in other countries. In these instances, if coverage or the level of reimbursement is reduced, limited or eliminated in one or more countries, we may be unable to obtain or maintain anticipated pricing or reimbursement in other countries or in new markets. This may create the opportunity for third-party cross-border trade or may influence our decision whether to sell a product in one or more countries, thus adversely affecting our geographic expansion plans.
It is also possible that governments may take additional action to reform the healthcare system in response to the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We cannot assure you as to the ultimate content, timing, or effect of future healthcare law and policy changes, nor is it possible at this time to estimate the impact of any such potential changes; however, such changes or the ultimate impact of changes could materially and adversely affect our revenue or sales of our current and or potential future products, as well as those of our collaborators.
We are subject to various state, federal and international laws and regulations, including healthcare laws and regulations, that may impact our business and could subject us to significant fines and penalties or other negative consequences.
Our operations may be directly or indirectly subject to various healthcare laws, including, without limitation, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, federal civil and criminal false claims laws, regulations prohibiting off-label promotions and federal transparency requirements. These laws may impact, among other things, the sales, marketing and education programs for ADCETRIS, PADCEV, TUKYSA and any future approved products.
The federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willingly soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual, or the furnishing or arranging for a good or service, for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under a federal healthcare program such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Although there are a number of statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly, and practices that involve remuneration not intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualify for an exception or safe harbor. In addition, a conviction for violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute requires mandatory exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs.
The federal civil and criminal false claims laws, including the civil False Claims Act, prohibit, among other things, persons or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false claim to, or the knowing use of false statements to obtain payment from or approval by the federal government, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs, or knowingly making, using, or causing to be made or used a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim or to avoid, decrease, or conceal an obligation to pay money to the federal government. Many pharmaceutical and other healthcare companies have been investigated and have reached substantial financial settlements with the federal government under the civil False Claims Act for a variety of alleged improper marketing, promotion or other activities.

The FDA and other governmental authorities also actively investigate allegations of off-label promotion activities in order to enforce regulations prohibiting these types of activities. In recent years, private whistleblowers have also pursued False Claims Act cases against a number of pharmaceutical companies for causing false claims to be submitted as a result of off-label promotion. If we are found to have promoted an approved product for off-label uses, we may be subject to significant liability, including significant civil and administrative financial penalties and other remedies as well as criminal penalties and other sanctions. Even when a company is not determined to have engaged in off-label promotion, the allegation from government authorities or market participants that a company has engaged in such activities could have a significant impact on the company’s sales, business and financial condition. The U.S. government has also required companies to enter into complex corporate integrity agreements, deferred prosecution agreements and/or non-prosecution agreements that impose significant reporting and other burdens on the affected companies.
The federal transparency requirements under the Physician Payments Sunshine Act require certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available under Medicare, Medicaid, or the Children’s Health Insurance Program to annually report information related to certain payments or other transfers of value to physicians (defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists and chiropractors), and teaching hospitals, or to entities or individuals at the request of, or designated on behalf of, the physicians and teaching hospitals, and to report annually certain ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Beginning in 2022, applicable manufacturers also will be required to report information related to payments and other transfers of value made during the previous year to physician assistants, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, certified registered nurse anesthetists, anesthesiologist assistants and certified nurse midwives. Failure to submit timely, accurately and completely the required information for all payments, transfers of value and ownership or investment interests may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year plus up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures,” as adjusted for inflation.
Other healthcare laws and regulations that may affect our ability to operate include, among others, the federal civil monetary penalties statute and the healthcare fraud provisions of the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA. In addition, many states and jurisdictions outside the U.S. have similar laws and regulations, such as anti-kickback, anti-bribery and corruption, false claims and transparency, to which we are currently and/or may in the future, be subject. Additional information about these requirements is provided under “Government Regulation – Healthcare Regulation” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 12, 2021. In addition, the number and complexity of healthcare laws and regulations applicable to our business continue to increase.
We are also subject to numerous other laws and regulations that while not specific to the healthcare industry, do apply to the healthcare industry in important ways. For instance, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, generally prohibits paying, offering to pay, or authorizing the payment of anything of value to any foreign government official, governmental staff members, political party or political candidate in an attempt to obtain or retain business or to otherwise influence a person working in an official capacity. In Europe, national anti-corruption laws prohibit giving, offering, or promising bribes to any person, including foreign government officials and private persons, as well as requesting, agreeing to receive, or accepting bribes from any person. Various European anti-corruption laws have broad extraterritorial reach and therefore we may be subject to those laws even if we do not have an established entity in those countries and we may be held liable for bribes given, offered or promised to any person, including private persons, by employees and persons associated with us in order to obtain or retain business or a business advantage. As we expand our footprint and activities outside of the U.S. and Canada, our exposure to compliance risks under the FCPA and other similar laws will likewise increase.

In an effort to comply with these laws and regulations, we have implemented a compliance program designed to actively identify, prevent and mitigate risk through the implementation of compliance policies and systems and by promoting a culture of compliance. We also actively work to revise and evolve our compliance program in an effort to keep pace with evolving compliance risks and the growing scale of our business. Although we take our obligation to maintain our compliance with these various laws and regulations seriously and our compliance program is designed to detect and prevent the violation of these laws and regulations, we cannot guarantee that our compliance program will be sufficient or effective, that we will be able to integrate the operations of newly formed affiliates or acquired businesses into our compliance program on a timely basis, that our employees will comply with our policies and that our employees will notify us of any violation of our policies, that we will have the ability to take appropriate and timely corrective action in response to any such violation, or that we will make decisions and take actions that will necessarily limit or avoid liability for whistleblower claims that individuals, such as employees or former employees, may bring against us or that governmental authorities may prosecute against us based on information provided by individuals. If we are found to be in violation of any of the laws and regulations described above or other applicable state and federal healthcare laws, we may be subject to penalties, including significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, contractual damages, reputational harm, administrative burdens, imprisonment, diminished profits and future earnings, exclusion from government healthcare reimbursement programs, additional reporting requirements and oversight if we become subject to a corporate integrity agreement or similar agreement to resolve allegations of non-compliance with these laws, and/or the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and growth prospects. Any action against us for violation of these laws or regulations, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business. Moreover, achieving and sustaining compliance with applicable federal, state and healthcare laws outside the U.S. is costly and time-consuming for our management.
We are subject to evolving privacy and security laws, and our failure to comply could result in penalties and reputational damage.
We are subject to numerous privacy and data protection laws and regulations governing healthcare and other information. The U.S. federal government, individual U.S. states, EU member countries and other jurisdictions, including Switzerland and Canada, have adopted data protection laws and regulations which impose significant compliance obligations. For example, the use and international transfer of personal data collected in the EU is governed by the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, or the GDPR. The GDPR, which is wide-ranging in scope, imposes several requirements relating to the control over personal data by individuals to whom the personal data relates, the information provided to the individuals, the documentation we must maintain, the security and confidentiality of the personal data, data breach notification and the use of third-party processors in connection with the processing of personal data. The GDPR also imposes strict rules on the transfer of personal data out of the EU, provides an enforcement authority and authorizes the imposition of large penalties for noncompliance, including the potential for fines of up to €20 million or 4% of the annual global revenues of the non-compliant company, whichever is greater. The GDPR requirements apply not only to third-party transactions, but also to transfers of information between us and our subsidiaries, including employee information. The GDPR has increased our responsibility and potential liability in relation to all types of personal data that we process, including in clinical trials, and we may be required to put in place additional mechanisms to ensure compliance with the GDPR, which could divert management’s attention and increase our cost of doing business. However, despite our ongoing efforts to bring our practices into compliance with the GDPR, we may not be successful either due to various factors within our control or other factors outside our control. Local data protection authorities can also have different interpretations of the GDPR, leading to potential inconsistencies amongst various EU member states.

Moreover, one of the primary safeguards allowing U.S. companies to import personal information from Europe has been certification to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield frameworks administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce. However, the Court of Justice of the EU, or the CJEU, recently invalidated the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. The same decision also raised questions about whether one of the primary alternatives to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, namely, the EC’s Standard Contractual Clauses, provide sufficient protection for personal data transferred from Europe to the U.S. or most other countries without analyzing each transfer and implementing supplementary measures to protect the data. Following recent recommendations from the European Data Protection Board, we are undertaking a review of personal data transfers from the EU and will assess the impact of the CJEU decision on our operations. At present, there are few, if any, viable alternatives to the Standard Contractual Clauses. Where appropriate, we rely on individuals’ explicit consent to transfer their personal information from Europe to the U.S. and other countries. In addition, we rely on inter-company Standard Contractual Clauses to provide appropriate safeguards for such transfers. The EC is expected to publish new Standard Contractual Clauses soon and to give companies relying on them for transfers 12 months to adapt. Authorities in Switzerland, whose data protection laws are similar to those of the EU, also invalidated use of the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield. Authorities in the United Kingdom, or U.K., may similarly invalidate use of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. The U.K.'s departure from the EU, known as Brexit, has created additional uncertainty with regard to data protection regulation in the U.K., as it is unclear whether the U.K. and EU will be able to negotiate a mutually agreeable data protection agreement that regulates data transfers between the U.K. and EU and what impact this will have on our business. If we are unable to rely on explicit consent to transfer individuals’ personal information from Europe, which can be revoked, or if, upon review by authorities, our existing compliance solutions are found to be insufficient, we will face increased exposure to substantial fines under European data protection laws as well as injunctions against processing personal information from persons resident in Europe. The inability to import personal information from the European Economic Area, U.K. or Switzerland could restrict our clinical trial activities in Europe, limit our ability to collaborate with contract research organizations, service providers, contractors and other companies subject to European data protection laws, interfere with our ability to hire employees in Europe and require us to increase our data processing capabilities in Europe at significant expense.
In addition, in the U.S., HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and its implementing regulations, governs certain types of individuals and entities with respect to the conduct of certain electronic healthcare transactions and imposes certain obligations on covered entities, including certain healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses, as well as their respective business associates that create, receive, maintain or transmit individually identifiable health information for or on behalf of a covered entity, and their subcontractors that use, disclose, access, or otherwise process individually identifiable health information, with respect to the security, privacy and transmission of individually identifiable health information. HIPAA applies to certain aspects of our business and failure to comply with its requirements could result in the imposition of significant fines and penalties, and additional negative consequences.
In any event, our failure or alleged failure (including as a result of deficiencies in our policies, procedures or measures relating to privacy, data protection, marketing or communications) to comply with laws, regulations, policies, legal or contractual obligations, industry standards or regulatory guidance relating to privacy or data protection, may result in governmental investigations and enforcement actions, litigation, fines and penalties or adverse publicity. In addition, new regulation, legislative actions or changes in interpretation of existing laws or regulations regarding privacy and data protection, together with applicable industry standards, may increase our costs of doing business. In this regard, we expect that there will continue to be new laws, regulations and industry standards relating to privacy and data protection in the U.S., the EU and other jurisdictions, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 and the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, which have been characterized as “GDPR-like” privacy laws, and we cannot determine the impact such new laws, regulations and standards may have on our business.

As we continue to expand our operations internationally, we are subject to an increased risk of conducting activities in a manner that violates applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption laws. We are also subject to laws and regulations covering data privacy and the protection of health-related and other personal information. These laws and regulations could create liability for us or increase our cost of doing business, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and growth prospects.
We are continuing to expand our operations internationally. For example, we recently launched TUKYSA in certain countries in Europe and are continuing to build our commercial infrastructure in Europe. In this regard, we currently have multiple subsidiaries in jurisdictions outside the U.S., including a number of subsidiaries in Europe, and plan in the future to have subsidiaries in additional jurisdictions. Our business activities outside of the U.S. are and will continue to be subject to the FCPA, which is described above, and similar anti-bribery or anti-corruption laws, regulations or rules of other countries in which we currently and may in the future operate, including the recently established French Anti-corruption Law on Transparency, Fight against Corruption and the Modernization of the Economy, referred to as Sapin II. In Europe, national anti-corruption laws prohibit giving, offering, or promising bribes to any person, including foreign government officials and private persons, as well as requesting, agreeing to receive, or accepting bribes from any person. Various European anti-corruption laws have broad extraterritorial reach and therefore we may be subject to those laws even if we do not have an established entity in those countries and we may be held liable for bribes given, offered or promised to any person, including private persons, by employees and persons associated with us in order to obtain or retain business or a business advantage. In the course of conducting operations internationally, we have established, and will need to continue to establish and expand, business relationships with various third parties, such as independent contractors, distributors, vendors, and advocacy groups. We also interact with physicians, which are generally considered foreign officials in Europe, as well as with regulatory authorities who may be deemed to be foreign officials under the FCPA or similar laws of other countries that may govern our activities. Any interactions with any such third parties that are found to be in violation of such laws could result in substantial fines and penalties and could materially harm our business. Furthermore, any finding of a violation under one country’s laws may increase the likelihood that we will be prosecuted and be found to have violated another country’s laws. If our business practices outside the U.S. are found to be in violation of the FCPA, the Sapin II or other similar laws, we may be subject to significant civil and criminal penalties which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and growth prospects. We are also subject to laws and regulations covering data privacy and the protection of health-related and other personal information. In this regard, EU member states and other jurisdictions outside the U.S., including Switzerland, have adopted data protection laws and regulations, such as the GDPR, which impose significant compliance obligations. Failure to comply with these laws could lead to government enforcement actions and significant penalties against us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and growth prospects.
Enhanced governmental and private scrutiny over, or investigations or litigation involving, pharmaceutical manufacturer donations to patient assistance programs offered by charitable foundations may require us to modify our programs and could negatively impact our business practices, harm our reputation, divert the attention of management and increase our expenses.
We have a patient assistance program and also occasionally make donations to independent charitable foundations that help financially needy patients. These types of programs designed to assist patients in affording pharmaceuticals have become the subject of scrutiny. In recent years, some pharmaceutical manufacturers were named in class action lawsuits challenging the legality of their patient assistance programs and support of independent charitable patient support foundations under a variety of federal and state laws. Our patient assistance program and support of independent charitable foundations could become the target of similar litigation. At least one insurer also has directed its network pharmacies to no longer accept manufacturer co-payment coupons for certain specialty drugs the insurer identified. In addition, certain state and federal enforcement authorities and members of Congress have initiated inquiries about co-pay assistance programs. Some state legislatures have also been considering proposals that would restrict or ban co-pay coupons.
53

Table of Contents

In addition, there has been regulatory review and enhanced government scrutiny of donations by pharmaceutical companies to patient assistance programs operated by charitable foundations. For example, the HHS Office of Inspector General has established specific guidelines permitting pharmaceutical manufacturers to make donations to charitable organizations who provide co-pay assistance to Medicare patients, provided that such organizations are bona fide charities, are entirely independent of and not controlled by the manufacturer, provide aid to applicants on a first-come basis according to consistent financial criteria, and do not link aid to use of a donor’s product. If we or our vendors or donation recipients are deemed to fail to comply with laws or regulations in the operation of these programs, we could be subject to damages, fines, penalties or other criminal, civil or administrative sanctions or enforcement actions. Further, numerous organizations, including pharmaceutical manufacturers, have received subpoenas from the U.S. Department of Justice and other enforcement authorities seeking information related to their patient assistance programs and support, and certain of these organizations have entered into significant civil settlements with applicable enforcement authorities. In connection with these civil settlements, the U.S. government has and may in the future require the affected companies to enter into complex corporate integrity agreements that impose significant reporting and other requirements on those companies. We cannot ensure that our compliance controls, policies and procedures will be sufficient to protect against acts of our employees, business partners or vendors that may violate the laws or regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Regardless of whether we have complied with the law, a government investigation could negatively impact our business practices, harm our reputation, divert the attention of management and increase our expenses.
Product liability and product recalls could harm our business, and we may not be able to obtain adequate insurance to protect us against product liability losses.
The current and future use of our products and product candidates by us and our corporate collaborators in clinical trials and the sale of our products, expose us to product liability claims. These claims have and may in the future be made directly by patients or healthcare providers or indirectly by pharmaceutical companies, our corporate collaborators or others selling such products. Additionally, in connection with our acquisition of the manufacturing facility from BMS, we agreed to enter into certain transitional services agreements under which we manufactured certain clinical drug product components for BMS for a period of time. As a result, it is possible that we may be named as a defendant in product liability suits that may allege that drug products we manufactured for BMS have resulted in injury to patients. We may experience substantial financial losses in the future due to product liability claims. We have obtained product liability coverage, including coverage for human clinical trials and product sold commercially. However, such insurance is subject to coverage limits and exclusions, as well as significant deductibles. In addition, we may not be able to maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or in sufficient amounts to protect us against all losses. If a successful product liability claim or series of claims is brought against us for uninsured liabilities or in excess of insured amounts, our assets may not be sufficient to cover such claims and our business operations could be impaired.
Product recalls may be issued at our discretion, or at the discretion of government agencies and other entities that have regulatory authority for pharmaceutical sales. Any recall of our products could materially adversely affect our business by rendering us unable to sell our products for some time and by adversely affecting our reputation.
Our operations involve hazardous materials and are subject to environmental, health and safety controls and regulations.
We are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing the use of hazardous materials, and we spend considerable time complying with such laws and regulations. Our business activities involve the controlled use of hazardous materials and although we take precautions to prevent accidental contamination or injury from these materials, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of using these materials. In addition, with respect to our manufacturing facility, we may incur substantial costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations and may become subject to the risk of accidental contamination or injury from the use of hazardous materials in our manufacturing process. It is also possible that our manufacturing facility may expose us to environmental liabilities associated with historical site conditions that we are not currently aware of and did not cause. In this regard, some environmental laws impose liability for contamination on current owners and operators of affected sites, regardless of fault. In the event of an accident or environmental discharge, or new or previously unknown contamination is discovered or new cleanup obligations are otherwise imposed in connection with any of our currently or previously owned or operated facilities, we may be held liable for any resulting damages, which may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in funding for the FDA, the SEC and other government agencies, or reduced working hours of governmental employees or by the diversion of the efforts and attention of governmental agencies to approval of other therapeutics or other activities related to the COVID-19 pandemic, could prevent new products and services from being developed or commercialized in a timely manner or otherwise prevent those agencies from performing normal functions on which the operation of our business may rely, which could negatively impact our business.
The ability of the FDA to review and approve new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept payment of user fees, and statutory, regulatory, and policy changes. Average review times at the agency have fluctuated in recent years as a result. In addition, government funding of the FDA, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and other government agencies on which our operations may rely is inherently fluid and unpredictable. With respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible that we could experience delays in the timing of regulatory review and/or our interactions with regulatory authorities due to reduced working hours or absenteeism of governmental employees or by the diversion of authorities’ efforts and attention to approval of other therapeutics or other activities related to COVID-19, which could delay any approval decision with respect to the regulatory applications we and our collaborators submitted to the FDA for PADCEV and tisotumab vedotin, or our progress in advancing our development efforts with respect to other products and product candidates. Our interactions with regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions and across multiple products and product candidates continue but we cannot rule out the possibility of negative impacts on such interactions in the future as the pandemic continues to evolve.
Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies may slow the time necessary for new drugs to be reviewed and/or approved by necessary government agencies, which would adversely affect our business. For example, over the last several years, the U.S. government has shut down several times and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and the SEC, have had to furlough critical FDA, SEC and other government employees and stop critical activities. If a prolonged government shutdown occurs, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, future government shutdowns could potentially impact our ability to access the public markets and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue our operations.
Risks Related to Our Reliance on Third Parties
We depend on collaborative relationships with other companies to assist in the development and commercialization of our products and some of our product candidates and for the development and commercialization of other product candidates utilizing or incorporating our technologies. If we are not able to locate suitable collaborators or if our collaborators do not perform as expected, this may negatively affect our ability to commercialize our products, develop and commercialize our product candidates and/or generate revenues through technology licensing, or may otherwise negatively affect our business.
We have established collaborations with third parties to develop and market each of our products and some of our current and future product candidates. Because control of development and commercialization is shared with our collaborators under these collaborations, we do not have sole discretion and control over the development and commercialization of the applicable products and product candidates. For example, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Takeda in December 2009 that granted Takeda rights to develop and commercialize ADCETRIS outside of the U.S. and Canada, and we entered into a collaboration agreement with Merck in September 2020 that granted Merck rights to develop and commercialize TUKYSA outside of the U.S., Canada and Europe. In addition, we have entered into collaborations with Astellas for the development and commercialization of PADCEV, with Genmab for the development and commercialization of tisotumab vedotin, and with Merck for the development and commercialization of ladiratuzumab vedotin. Our collaborations also include clinical trial collaborations to develop, in combination, our product or product candidates and the products or product candidates of one or more third parties. For example, we have clinical trial collaborations with BMS to evaluate the combination of nivolumab with ADCETRIS in various settings and with Merck to evaluate the combination of pembrolizumab in combination with PADCEV in various settings.
We also have ADC license agreements with AbbVie, Astellas, Genentech, Genmab and GSK to allow them to use our proprietary ADC technology, and our ADC licensees conduct all research, product development, manufacturing and commercialization of any product candidates under these agreements.
Our dependence on collaborative arrangements to assist in the development and commercialization of our products and some of our product candidates and on license arrangements for the development and commercialization of other product candidates utilizing or incorporating our technologies subjects us to a number of risks, including:
we are not able to control the amount and timing of resources that our collaborators and licensees devote to the development or commercialization of products and product candidates under a collaboration or license agreement, including ADCETRIS, PADCEV, TUKYSA and tisotumab vedotin;
55

Table of Contents

disputes may arise between us and our collaborators or licensees that result in the delay or termination of the research, development or commercialization of the applicable products and product candidates or that result in costly litigation or arbitration that diverts management’s attention and resources;
with respect to collaborations under which we have an active role, we may have differing opinions, processes or priorities than our collaborators, or we may encounter challenges in joint decision making and joint execution, including with respect to any joint development or commercialization plans or co-promotion activities, which may delay or otherwise harm the research, development, launch or commercialization of the applicable products and product candidates, including ADCETRIS, PADCEV, TUKYSA and tisotumab vedotin;
our current and potential future collaborators and licensees may delay clinical trials, provide insufficient funding for a clinical trial program, stop a clinical trial or abandon a product candidate, repeat or conduct new clinical trials, use standards or processes for conducting clinical trials that differ from ours or require a new formulation of a product candidate for clinical testing;
significant delays in the development of product candidates by current and potential collaborators and licensees could allow competitors to bring products to market before product candidates utilizing or incorporating our technologies are approved and impair the ability of current and potential future collaborators and licensees to effectively commercialize these product candidates;
our relationships with our collaborators and licensees may divert significant time and effort of our scientific staff and management team and require the effective allocation of our resources to multiple internal collaborative projects;
our current and potential future collaborators and licensees may not pursue regulatory approvals in a timely manner, may not be successful in their efforts to obtain regulatory approvals, or may not launch or commercialize a product in their territories in a timely manner;
our current and potential future collaborators and licensees may receive regulatory sanctions relating to other aspects of their business, or could take actions with respect to our jointly-developed product, that could adversely affect the development, approval or commercialization of the applicable products or product candidates or our reputation with regulatory agencies;
our current and potential future collaborators and licensees may not properly maintain or defend our intellectual property rights or may use our proprietary information in such a way as to invite litigation that could jeopardize or invalidate our proprietary information or expose us to potential litigation;
business combinations or significant changes in a collaborator’s or licensee’s business strategy may adversely affect such party’s willingness or ability to complete its obligations under any arrangement;
a collaborator or licensee could independently move forward with competing products, therapeutic approaches or technologies to develop treatments for the diseases targeted by us or our collaborators that are developed by such collaborator or licensee either independently or in collaboration with others, including our competitors;
our current and potential future collaborators and licensees may experience financial difficulties; and
our collaboration or license agreements may be terminated, breached or allowed to expire, or our collaborators or licensees may reduce the scope of our agreements with them, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position by reducing or eliminating the potential for us to receive technology access and license fees, milestones and royalties, and/or reimbursement of development costs, and which could require us to devote additional efforts and to incur the additional costs associated with pursuing internal development and commercialization of the applicable products and product candidates.

Table of Contents

If our collaborative and license arrangements are not successful as a result of any of the above factors, or any other factors, then our ability to advance the development and commercialization of the applicable products and product candidates and to otherwise generate revenue from these arrangements and to become profitable will be adversely affected, and our business and business prospects may be materially harmed. In particular, if Takeda or Merck were to terminate the ADCETRIS collaboration or the TUKYSA collaboration, respectively, which they may do for any reason upon prior written notice to us, we would not receive milestone payments, co-funded development payments or royalties for the sale of ADCETRIS outside the U.S. and Canada or for TUKYSA outside the U.S., Canada and Europe. As a result of any such termination, we may have to engage another collaborator to complete the ADCETRIS or TUKYSA development process and to commercialize ADCETRIS or TUKYSA in our collaborators’ current territories, or to complete the development process and undertake commercializing ADCETRIS or TUKYSA in our collaborators’ current territories ourselves, either of which could significantly delay the continued development and commercialization of ADCETRIS or TUKYSA and increase our costs. Similarly, Astellas, Genmab and Merck each have the right to opt out of their co-development obligations relating to PADCEV, tisotumab vedotin and ladiratuzumab vedotin, respectively. If Astellas, Genmab or Merck were to opt out of their co-development collaborations with us, this would significantly delay the commercialization and development of PADCEV or the development of tisotumab vedotin or ladiratuzumab vedotin, as applicable, and increase our costs. Any of these events could significantly harm our financial position, adversely affect our stock price and require us to incur all the costs of developing and commercializing the applicable product or product candidate, which would otherwise be co-funded by our collaboration partners. Moreover, in the case of PADCEV and tisotumab vedotin, the success of PADCEV and any approved tisotumab vedotin product will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively jointly commercialize PADCEV and tisotumab vedotin with Astellas and Genmab, respectively, in accordance with our joint commercialization obligations and joint commercialization plans. The success, if any, of our joint commercialization efforts with Astellas and Genmab, as well as the activities of Astellas and Genmab, will significantly impact the commercialization of PADCEV and the potential future commercialization of an approved tisotumab vedotin product, respectively. The product candidates being developed under our collaboration and license agreements are in various stages of development and we cannot guarantee that any of the product candidates under our collaborations will be successful. In this regard, certain of our ADC licensees have advanced product candidates utilizing or incorporating our ADC technology to later stage clinical trials that were not successful. In the future, we may not be able to locate third-party collaborators to assist in commercializing any future products in regions outside the U.S., and we may lack the capital and resources necessary to market these products in certain regions outside the Unites States alone.
We currently rely on third-party manufacturers and other third parties for production of our drug products and our dependence on these manufacturers may impair the continued development and commercialization of our products and product candidates.
We own a biologics manufacturing facility located in Bothell, Washington, which we use to support our clinical supply needs, and we are investing in alterations to the facility to enable it to support some of our commercial supply needs. However, we rely and expect to continue to rely on corporate collaborators and contract manufacturing organizations to supply drug product for commercial supply and our IND-enabling studies and clinical trials.

For the monoclonal antibody used in ADCETRIS, we have contracted with AbbVie for clinical and commercial supplies. For the drug linker used in ADCETRIS, we have contracted with Millipore Sigma, an affiliate of Merck KGaA, for clinical and commercial supplies. We have multiple contract manufacturers for conjugating the drug linker to the antibody and producing the ADCETRIS product. We rely on Astellas to supply PADCEV for our clinical trials and for commercial sale, and Astellas oversees the manufacturing supply chain for PADCEV. With respect to TUKYSA, we rely on multiple contract manufacturers and other third parties to perform manufacturing services for us including Sterling Pharma Solutions Limited for production of the starting materials for TUKYSA, Esteve Quimica to produce the active pharmaceutical ingredient, Hovione to complete spray drying and Corden Plankstadt to produce the tablets for TUKYSA. We have entered into commercial supply agreements with each of Sterling, Esteve Quimica and Corden, and are in the process of negotiating a commercial supply agreement with Hovione. For the foreseeable future, we expect to continue to rely on contract manufacturers and other third parties to produce and store sufficient quantities of ADCETRIS and TUKYSA, and on Astellas and other third parties to produce and store sufficient quantities of PADCEV, for use in our clinical trials and for commercial sale. If our contract manufacturers, collaborators or other third parties fail to deliver our products for clinical use or sale on a timely basis, with sufficient quality, and at commercially reasonable prices, and we fail to find replacement manufacturers or to develop our own manufacturing capabilities, we may bear costly losses or be required to delay or suspend clinical trials or otherwise discontinue development, production and sale of our products. With respect to TUKYSA specifically, we have limited prior experience as an organization manufacturing TUKYSA and small molecule drug products generally, and have relatively new working relationships with many of the third-party manufacturers involved in TUKYSA manufacture. These factors increase the chance that we could encounter manufacturing challenges that could increase our costs, cause delays or otherwise negatively impact our business. Moreover, there are a limited number of facilities in which each of our products can be produced, and any interruption of the operation of those facilities due to the risks and evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or other events such as equipment malfunction or failure or damage to the facility by natural disasters or as the result of regulatory actions or contractual disputes could result in the cancellation of shipments, loss of product in the manufacturing process, a shortfall in product supply, or limit our or our collaborators’ ability to sell our products. Further, we and our collaborators depend on outside vendors for the supply of raw materials used to produce our products. If the third-party suppliers were to cease production or otherwise fail to supply us or our collaborators with quality raw materials and we or our collaborators were unable to contract on acceptable terms for these raw materials with alternative suppliers, our ability to have our products manufactured to meet clinical and commercial requirements would be adversely affected. While we believe that the existing supplies of PADCEV and Astellas’ contract manufacturing relationships will be sufficient to accommodate current clinical and commercial needs, we or Astellas may need to obtain additional manufacturing arrangements or increase manufacturing capability to meet potential future commercial needs with respect to PADCEV, which could require additional capital investment by us or cause us potential delays if Astellas encounters challenges in negotiating commercially reasonable arrangements with these manufacturers. While we believe that the existing supplies of TUKYSA will be sufficient to accommodate current clinical and forecasted commercial needs at this time, we expect that we will need to put in place additional manufacturing arrangements or expand our current manufacturing arrangements with third-party manufacturers to meet potential future commercial needs and while we are currently negotiating those arrangements, we cannot assure you that we can enter into such arrangements on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Forecasting demand for a new product can be challenging and in the event demand for TUKYSA exceeds our estimates or in the event that our commercial manufacturers of TUKYSA encounter unexpected failures or setbacks in completing manufacturing services in accordance with applicable quality standards, our commercialization of TUKYSA could be negatively impacted by short-term product supply challenges, which would adversely impact our TUKYSA revenues and could negatively affect our relationships with patients and healthcare professionals. In addition, any failures or delays in manufacturing adequate product supplies and in putting in place or expanding our manufacturing and supply infrastructure could delay or impede our and Merck’s ability to launch and commercialize TUKYSA in additional markets where TUKYSA has obtained regulatory approval and any other markets where it may obtain regulatory approval, if any. While we do not currently anticipate disruptions to the supply of our products due to the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, if the COVID-19 pandemic continues for an extended period of time or the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic become more severe, or any of the parties in our supply chain are adversely impacted by the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as staffing shortages, productions slowdowns and/or disruptions in delivery systems, then there could be disruptions to our supply chain and operations, and associated delays in the manufacturing and supply of our products. Any supply disruptions would adversely impact our ability to generate sales of and revenues from our products, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects could be materially adversely affected. Further, in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and in an effort to increase the wider availability of needed medical and other supplies and products, we and our third-party suppliers may elect to or governments may require us or our third-party suppliers to allocate raw materials used in manufacturing or manufacturing capacity (for example pursuant to the U.S. Defense Production Act) in a way that adversely affects our ability to have our products manufactured to meet clinical and commercial requirements.

For the clinical supply of our product candidates, we rely, and expect for the foreseeable future to continue to rely, on multiple contract manufacturers and other third parties to perform manufacturing services for us. If these third-party manufacturers cease or interrupt production, fail to supply satisfactory materials, products or services for any reason or experience performance delays or quality concerns, or if materials or products are lost in transit or in the manufacturing process, such challenges or interruptions could substantially impact clinical trial drug supply, with the potential for additional costs, delays and an adverse effect on our business. With respect to tisotumab vedotin, we currently rely on drug product supply provided by Genmab. Under the commercialization agreement we entered into with Genmab in October 2020, we will be responsible for overseeing the clinical and commercial manufacturing supply chain of tisotumab vedotin following a transition period. We will need to obtain appropriate manufacturing arrangements and increase manufacturing capability to meet potential future commercial needs, and could experience potential delays if we encounter challenges in negotiating commercially reasonable arrangements with manufacturers or in transitioning oversight of the manufacturing process from Genmab to us.
In order to obtain regulatory approval of any product candidate or regulatory approval for any product in a new jurisdiction, we or our supplier or suppliers for that product or product candidate must obtain approval to manufacture and supply product, in some cases based on qualification data provided as part of a BLA, a New Drug Application, or NDA, or another application for regulatory approval. In addition, the manufacturing facilities utilized to manufacture the product or product candidate will be subject to pre-approval regulatory inspections. Any delay in generating, or failure to generate, data required in connection with submission of the chemistry, manufacturing and controls, or CMC, portions of any BLA, NDA or other application for regulatory approval, or challenges in the regulatory inspection process, could negatively impact our ability to meet our anticipated submission dates, result in delay in any approval decisions and/or negatively affect our ability to obtain regulatory approval at all. Any failure of us, our collaborators or a manufacturer to obtain approval from a regulatory authority to manufacture and supply product or any delay in obtaining and distributing adequate supplies of a newly-approved product, including PADCEV and TUKYSA, on a timely basis or in accordance with applicable specifications and local requirements could negatively impact our ability to successfully launch and commercialize the applicable product or product candidate and to generate sales of that product or product candidate at the levels we expect. We or our collaborators may also encounter difficulties in meeting the regulatory requirements applicable to the manufacturing process for these agents, in managing the additional complexity of manufacturing for a number of markets outside the U.S. or in responding to changes in the amount or timing of supply needs. Any failures or delays to meet these requirements could substantially delay or impede our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for and to market these agents, which could negatively impact our operating results and adversely affect our business.
To date, we have depended on a small number of collaborators for a substantial portion of our revenue. The loss of any one of these collaborators or changes in their product development or business strategy could result in a material decline in our revenue.
We have collaborations with a limited number of companies. To date, a substantial portion of our revenue has resulted from payments made under agreements with our corporate collaborators, and although ADCETRIS sales currently comprise a greater proportion of our revenue, we expect that a portion of our revenue will continue to come from corporate collaborations. Even though we market ADCETRIS in the U.S. and Canada, our revenues still depend in part on Takeda’s ability to market ADCETRIS outside of the U.S. and Canada. Likewise, even though we market TUKYSA in the U.S., our revenues will still depend in part on Merck’s ability and willingness to market TUKYSA outside of the U.S., Canada and Europe. In addition, under our agreements with Astellas, we and Astellas bear the costs of their own sales organizations in the U.S., equally share certain other costs associated with commercializing PADCEV in the U.S. and equally share in any profits realized in the U.S. The loss of our collaborators, especially Takeda or Astellas, changes in product development or business strategies of our collaborators, or the failure of our collaborators to perform their obligations under their agreements with us for any reason, including paying license or technology fees, milestone payments, royalties or reimbursements, could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance. Payments under our existing and potential future collaboration agreements are also subject to significant fluctuations in both timing and amount, which could cause our revenue to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors and cause a decrease in our stock price.

We are dependent upon a small number of distributors for a significant portion of our net sales, and the loss of, or significant reduction or cancellation in sales to, any one of these distributors could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.
We sell ADCETRIS and PADCEV through a limited number of specialty distributors. Healthcare providers order ADCETRIS and PADCEV through these distributors. We receive orders from distributors and generally ship product directly to the healthcare provider. We sell TUKYSA through a distribution network of specialty pharmacies, integrated delivery network hospitals and practices that dispense in the office. These distributors and distribution network partners do not set or determine demand for our products; however, our ability to effectively commercialize our products will depend, in part, on their performance. Although we believe we can find alternative distributors and partners on relatively short notice, the loss of a major distributor or partner could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, business disruptions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively affect the ability of some of our distributors or distribution network partners to pay amounts owed to us in a timely manner or at all.
Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
If we are unable to enforce our intellectual property rights or if we fail to sustain and further procure additional intellectual property rights, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our products or any future products and competitors may be able to develop competing therapies.
Our success depends, in part, on obtaining and maintaining patent protection and successfully enforcing these patents and defending them against third-party challenges in the U.S. and other countries. We own multiple U.S. and foreign patents and pending patent applications for our technologies. We also have rights to issued U.S. patents, patent applications, and their foreign counterparts, relating to our monoclonal antibody, linker and drug-based technologies. Our rights to these patents and patent applications are derived in part from worldwide licenses from third parties. In addition, we have licensed certain of our U.S. and foreign patents and patent applications to third parties.
The standards that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, and foreign patent offices use to grant patents are not always applied predictably or uniformly and can change. Consequently, our pending patent applications may not be allowed and, if allowed, may not contain the type and extent of patent claims that will be adequate to conduct our business as planned. Additionally, any issued patents we currently own or obtain in the future may have a shorter patent term than expected or may not contain claims that will permit us to stop competitors from using our technology or similar technology or from copying our products. Similarly, the standards that courts use to interpret patents are not always applied predictably or uniformly and may evolve, particularly as new technologies develop. In addition, changes to patent laws in the U.S. or other countries may be applied retroactively to affect the validity, enforceability, or term of our patent. For example, the U.S. Supreme Court has modified some legal standards applied by the USPTO in examination of U.S. patent applications, which may decrease the likelihood that we will be able to obtain patents and may increase the likelihood of challenges to patents we obtain or license. In addition, changes to the U.S. patent system have come into force under the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, or the America Invents Act, including changes from a “first-to-invent” system to a “first to file” system, changes to examination of U.S. patent applications and changes to the processes for challenging issued patents. These changes include provisions that affect the way patent applications are being filed, prosecuted and litigated. For example, the America Invents Act enacted proceedings involving post-issuance patent review procedures, such as inter partes review, or IPR, and post-grant review and covered business methods. These proceedings are conducted before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, or PTAB, of the USPTO. Each proceeding has different eligibility criteria and different patentability challenges that can be raised. In this regard, the IPR process permits any person (except a party who has been litigating the patent for more than a year) to challenge the validity of some patents on the grounds that it was anticipated or made obvious by prior art. As a result, non-practicing entities associated with hedge funds, pharmaceutical companies who may be our competitors and others have challenged certain valuable pharmaceutical U.S. patents based on prior art through the IPR process. A decision in such a proceeding adverse to our interests could result in the loss of valuable patent rights which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. In any event, the America Invents Act and any other potential future changes to the U.S. patent system could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent applications and the enforcement or defense of our issued patents, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. In addition, we rely on external agents to perform certain activities to maintain our patents. Although we carefully select and oversee these agents, the failure of an agent to properly perform these maintenance activities, whether through mistake or otherwise, could adversely affect our intellectual property rights.

We rely on trade secrets and other proprietary information where we believe patent protection is not appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets and other proprietary information are difficult to protect. We have taken measures to protect our unpatented trade secrets and know-how, including the use of confidentiality and assignment of inventions agreements with our employees, consultants and certain contractors. It is possible, however, that these persons may breach the agreements or that our competitors may independently develop or otherwise discover our trade secrets or other proprietary information. Our research collaborators may publish confidential data or other restricted information to which we have rights. If we cannot maintain the confidentiality of our technology and other confidential information in connection with our collaborations, then our ability to receive patent protection or protect our proprietary information may be impaired.
We have been and may in the future be subject to litigation, which could result in substantial damages and may divert management’s time and attention from our business.
We are engaged in multiple legal disputes with Daiichi Sankyo Co. Ltd., or Daiichi Sankyo. We are in a dispute with Daiichi Sankyo regarding the ownership of certain technology used by Daiichi Sankyo in its cancer drug ENHERTU and certain product candidates. Arbitration relating to the dispute is progressing with a hearing date scheduled starting June 14, 2021. In addition, we filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas to commence an action for infringement of our U.S. Patent No. 10,808,039, or the ‘039 Patent, by Daiichi Sankyo’s importation into, offer for sale, sale, and use in the U.S. of ENHERTU. Daiichi Sankyo (as well as Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. and AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals, LP, or AstraZeneca) subsequently filed an action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware seeking a declaratory judgment that ENHERTU does not infringe the ‘039 Patent. The Delaware action has been stayed by court order. Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. and AstraZeneca also filed two Petitions for Post-Grant Review with the U.S. Patent Office seeking to have claims of the ‘039 Patent cancelled as unpatentable. As a result of these disputes, we have incurred and will continue to incur litigation expenses. In addition, from time to time, we may become involved in other lawsuits, claims and proceedings relating to the conduct of our business, including but not limited to those pertaining to the defense and enforcement of our patent or other intellectual property rights and our contractual rights.
These and other potential future litigations are subject to inherent uncertainties, and the actual costs to be incurred relating to litigations may be impacted by unknown factors. The outcome of litigation is necessarily uncertain, and we could be forced to expend significant resources in the course of these and potential future litigations, we may be subject to additional claims and counterclaims that may result in liabilities or require us to take or refrain from certain actions, and we may not prevail. Monitoring, defending against and pursuing legal actions can be time-consuming for our management and detract from our ability to fully focus our internal resources on our business activities, which could result in delays of our clinical trials or our development and commercialization efforts. In addition, we may incur substantial legal fees and costs in connection with these and potential future litigations. Decisions adverse to our interests in these and potential future litigations could result in the payment of substantial damages, or possibly fines, or affect our intellectual property rights and could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow, results of operations and financial position. Successful challenges to our patent or other intellectual property rights could result in a loss of rights in the relevant jurisdiction and may allow third parties to use our proprietary technologies without a license from us or our collaborators. In addition, the uncertainty associated with litigation could lead to increased volatility in our stock price.
We and our collaborators rely on license agreements for certain aspects of our products and product candidates and technologies such as our ADC technology. Failure to maintain these license agreements or to secure any required new licenses could prevent us from continuing to develop and commercialize our products and product candidates.
We have entered into agreements with third-party commercial and academic institutions to license technology for use in ADCETRIS, TUKYSA, our product candidates and technologies such as our ADC technology. Currently, we have license agreements with BMS, the University of Miami and Array BioPharma, Inc., among others. In addition to royalty provisions and other payment obligations, some of these license agreements contain diligence and milestone-based termination provisions, in which case our failure to meet any agreed upon royalty or diligence requirements or milestones may allow the licensor to terminate the agreement. Many of our license agreements grant us exclusive licenses to the underlying technologies. In addition, Astellas has agreements to license technology for use in PADCEV. We rely on Astellas to maintain these license agreements. If Astellas fails to maintain these license agreements, if our licensors terminate our license agreements or if we or our collaborators are unable to maintain the exclusivity of our exclusive license agreements, we may be unable to continue to develop and commercialize our products or product candidates. Further, we have had in the past, and we or our collaborators may in the future have, disputes with our licensors, which may impact our ability to develop and commercialize our products or product candidates or require us to enter into additional licenses. An adverse result in potential future disputes with our or our collaborators’ licensors may impact our ability to develop and commercialize our products and product candidates, or may require us to enter into additional licenses or to incur additional costs in litigation or settlement. In addition, continued development and commercialization of our products and product candidates will likely require us to secure licenses to additional technologies. We may not be able to secure these licenses on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

We may incur substantial costs and lose important rights or may not be able to continue to commercialize our products or to commercialize any of our product candidates that may be approved for commercial sale as a result of litigation or other proceedings relating to patent and other intellectual property rights, and we may be required to obtain patent and other intellectual property rights from others.
We may face potential lawsuits by companies, academic institutions or others alleging infringement of their intellectual property. Because patent applications can take a few years to publish, there may be currently pending applications of which we are unaware that may later result in issued patents that adversely affect the continued commercialization of our products or future commercialization of our product candidates. In addition, we are monitoring the progress of multiple pending patent applications of other organizations that, if granted, may require us to license or challenge their enforceability in order to continue commercializing our products or to commercialize our product candidates that may be approved for commercial sale. Our challenges to patents of other organizations may not be successful, which may affect our ability to commercialize our products or product candidates. As a result of the patent infringement lawsuits that have been filed or may be filed against us in the future by third parties alleging infringement by us of patent or other intellectual property rights, we may be required to pay substantial damages, including lost profits, royalties, treble damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, for past infringement if it is ultimately determined that our products infringe a third-party’s intellectual property rights. Even if infringement claims against us are without merit, the results may be unpredictable. In addition, defending lawsuits takes significant time, may be expensive and may divert management’s attention from other business concerns. Further, we may be stopped from developing, manufacturing or selling our products until we obtain a license from the owner of the relevant technology or other intellectual property rights, or be forced to undertake costly design-arounds, if feasible. If such a license is available at all, it may require us to pay substantial royalties or other fees.
We are or may be from time to time involved in the defense and enforcement of our patent or other intellectual property rights in a court of law, USPTO interference, IPR, post-grant review or reexamination proceeding, foreign opposition proceeding or related legal and administrative proceeding in the U.S. and elsewhere. In addition, if we choose to go to court to stop a third party from infringing our patents, that third party has the right to ask the court to rule that these patents are invalid, not infringed and/or should not be enforced. Under the America Invents Act, a third party may also have the option to challenge the validity of certain patents at the PTAB, whether they are accused of infringing our patents or not, and certain entities associated with hedge funds, pharmaceutical companies and other entities have challenged valuable pharmaceutical patents through the IPR process. These lawsuits and administrative proceedings are expensive and consume time and other resources, and we may not be successful in these proceedings or in stopping infringement. In addition, there is a risk that a court will decide that these patents are not valid or not infringed or otherwise not enforceable, or that the PTAB will decide that certain patents are not valid, and that we do not have the right to stop a third party from using the patented subject matter. Successful challenges to our patent or other intellectual property rights through these proceedings could result in a loss of rights in the relevant jurisdiction and may allow third parties to use our proprietary technologies without a license from us or our collaborators, which may also result in loss of future royalty payments. Furthermore, if such challenges to our rights are not resolved promptly in our favor, our existing business relationships may be jeopardized and we could be delayed or prevented from entering into new collaborations or from commercializing potential products, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. In addition, we may challenge the patent or other intellectual property rights of third parties and if we are unsuccessful in actions we bring against the rights of such parties, through litigation or otherwise, and it is determined that we infringe the intellectual property rights of such parties, we may be prevented from commercializing potential products in the relevant jurisdiction, or may be required to obtain licenses to those rights or develop or obtain alternative technologies, any of which could harm our business.

Risks Related to Our Operations, Managing Our Growth and Other Risks
The evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and global economic slowdown could have further adverse effects on our business, including our commercialization efforts, supply chain, regulatory activities, clinical development activities and other business operations.
Our business is currently being adversely affected and could be materially and adversely affected in the future by the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In accordance with guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization and local authorities, beginning in March 2020, we implemented and continue to maintain a mandatory work-from-home policy for employees who can perform their jobs offsite. Our essential research, manufacturing and laboratory activities are ongoing, and we maintain a number of additional precautionary measures to protect these on-site employees, such as temperature checks, screening protocols, masks, social distancing, contact tracing and making testing available. However, if we are unable to obtain adequate supplies of personal protective equipment due to shortages or encounter other challenges related to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, we may have to place or may experience additional limitations on our in person activities. In addition, our ongoing increased reliance on personnel working from home may negatively impact productivity or disrupt, delay or otherwise adversely impact our business. This could also increase our cybersecurity risk, create data accessibility concerns and make us more susceptible to communication disruptions, any of which could adversely impact our business operations. In addition, our oversight of third-party manufacturers is currently being conducted by virtual means, which may increase the chance of a manufacturing quality issue. Impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic could materially and adversely affect our business, our ability to generate sales of and revenues from our approved products, and our ability to advance the development of our products and product candidates, as described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section. The magnitude of such impacts will depend, in large part, on the ultimate duration and severity of the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to rapidly evolve. These effects have increased market volatility and could result in a significant long-term disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity. In addition, the current recession or additional market corrections resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could materially affect our business and the value of our common stock. The extent to which the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic impact our business, our ability to generate sales of and revenues from our approved products, and our clinical development and regulatory efforts will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate duration and severity of the pandemic, government actions, such as travel restrictions, quarantines and social distancing requirements in the U.S. and in other countries, business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken in the U.S. and in other countries to contain and treat the disease, including the effectiveness and timing of vaccination programs in the U.S. and worldwide. Accordingly, we do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business, sales of our products, our clinical and regulatory activities, our research programs, healthcare systems or the global economy as a whole. However, these effects could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. In addition, to the extent the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects, they may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section. It is also possible that future global pandemics could also occur and also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

If we are unable to manage our growth, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.
We have experienced and expect to continue to experience significant growth in the number of our employees and in the scope of our operations, including in connection with our transition into a multi-product oncology company, our operation of a manufacturing facility and our continuing international expansion. In this regard, the anticipated continued growth of ADCETRIS, the continued commercialization of PADCEV and TUKYSA, and the potential launch and commercialization of any other future approved products may require expansion of our sales force and commercial organization. We may need to commit significant additional funds, management time and other resources to the growth of our commercial organization. In addition, our expansion in Europe will continue to require the expansion of other functions, including clinical development, drug safety, quality, finance and compliance. We may not be able to achieve any necessary growth in a timely or cost-effective manner or realize a positive return on our investment, and we may not have the financial resources to achieve the necessary growth in a timely manner or at all. Any of these factors could negatively impact our ability to successfully launch and commercialize TUKYSA in Europe or to successfully launch and commercialize any future newly-approved product and could harm the commercial potential of our current and any future approved products. In any event, this rapid growth and additional complexity places significant demands on our management, operational and financial resources, and our current and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our growth. In particular, we are using new distribution channels for TUKYSA that require us to implement additional control systems to monitor inventory that has been purchased by specialty pharmacies and not yet dispensed to patients. A failure to correctly implement and monitor these new control systems could result in a control failure or error in our financial accounting. In addition, this growth places significant demands on our third party suppliers and they may not have the resources and personnel to adequately support our commercial plans and launch needs, including in regions outside the U.S. To effectively manage our growth, we must continue to improve existing, and implement new, operational and financial systems, procedures and controls and must expand, train and manage our growing employee base, and there can be no assurance that we will effectively manage our growth without experiencing operating inefficiencies, control deficiencies, compliance issues or other problems. We expect that we may need to increase our management personnel to oversee our expanding operations, and recruiting and retaining qualified individuals is difficult. Likewise, we could experience limitations on our ability to recruit, hire and retain personnel at all levels of the organization as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and without reductions in the pace, scale or complexity of our business, this could result in strain on our staff, loss of talent, failure to capitalize fully on opportunities, control deficiencies and other challenges, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, the physical expansion of our operations may lead to significant costs and may divert our management and capital resources. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, or are unsuccessful in recruiting and retaining qualified management personnel, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.
Risks associated with our expanding operations in countries outside the U.S. could materially adversely affect our business.
We are expanding our operations internationally. We have an expanding number of subsidiaries in jurisdictions outside the U.S., including multiple subsidiaries in Europe, we are continuing to build our commercial infrastructure in Europe and we are expanding our commercial infrastructure in Canada. Consequently, we are, and will increasingly be, subject to risks related to operating internationally. Risks associated with conducting operations internationally include:
the increased complexity and costs inherent in managing international operations, including in geographically disparate locations;
diverse regulatory, drug safety, drug supply, financial and legal requirements, and any future changes to such requirements, in one or more countries where we are located or do business;
differing payor reimbursement regimes, governmental payors or patient self-pay systems and price controls;
adverse tax consequences, including changes in applicable tax laws and regulations;
applicable trade laws, tariffs, export quotas, custom duties or other trade restrictions, and any changes to them;
economic weakness, including inflation, or political or economic instability in particular economies and markets outside the U.S.;
compliance with tax, employment, immigration and labor laws for employees living or traveling abroad;
currency fluctuations, which could result in increased operating expenses or reduced revenues, and other obligations incident to doing business or operating in another country;
liabilities for activities of, or related to, our international operations;
64

Table of Contents

challenges inherent in efficiently managing employees in diverse geographies, including the need to adapt systems, policies, benefits and compliance programs to differing labor and other regulations and different languages;
reliance on vendors who are located far from our headquarters and with whom we have not worked previously;
workforce uncertainty in countries where labor unrest is more common than in the U.S.; and
laws and regulations relating to data security and the unauthorized use of, or access to, commercial and personal information.
As a result of our expanding international operations, including our expanding commercial presence in Europe and Canada, our business and corporate structure has and will become substantially more complex. In addition, as a business, we do not have significant experience conducting operations outside of the U.S. and Canada. There can be no assurance that we will effectively manage the increased complexity and broader scope of our operations without experiencing operating inefficiencies, delays, control deficiencies, compliance issues or other problems. Significant management time and effort will be required to effectively manage the increasing complexity and broader scope of our operations, and our failure to successfully do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. Further, since a portion of the regulatory framework in the U.K. is derived from EU directives and regulations, Brexit, has had, and will continue to have, an impact upon the regulatory regime applicable to potential future marketing authorizations for ADCETRIS, PADCEV, TUKYSA and our product candidates. In particular, Great Britain is no longer covered by the centralized procedures for obtaining EU-wide marketing authorization from the European Medicines Agency, and a separate marketing authorization will be required to market our product candidates in Great Britain. In addition, it is unclear what additional financial, trade, regulatory and legal implications the withdrawal of the U.K. from the EU. may have on us. These and other risks described elsewhere in these risk factors associated with expanding our international operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
We have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, strategic transactions that increase our capital requirements, dilute our stockholders, cause us to incur debt or assume contingent liabilities and subject us to other risks.
We actively evaluate various strategic transactions on an ongoing basis, including licensing or otherwise acquiring complementary products, technologies or businesses. Any potential future acquisitions or in-licensing transactions entail numerous risks, including but not limited to:
risks associated with satisfying the closing conditions relating to such transactions and realizing their anticipated benefits;
increased operating expenses and cash requirements;
difficulty integrating acquired technologies, products, operations, and personnel with our existing business;
the potential disruption of our historical core business;
diversion of management’s attention in connection with both negotiating the acquisition or license and integrating the business, technology or product;
retention of key employees;
difficulties in assimilating employees and corporate cultures of any acquired companies;
uncertainties in our ability to maintain key business relationships of any acquired companies;
strain on managerial and operational resources;
difficulty implementing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting at businesses that we acquire, particularly if they are not located near our existing operations;
exposure to unanticipated liabilities of acquired companies or companies in which we invest;
the potential need to write down assets or recognize impairment charges; and
potential costly and time-consuming litigation, including stockholder lawsuits.

As a result of these or other problems and risks, businesses, technologies or products we acquire or invest in or obtain licenses to may not produce the revenues, earnings or business synergies that we anticipated, acquired or licensed product candidates or technologies may not result in regulatory approvals, and acquired or licensed products may not perform as expected. As a result, we may incur higher costs and realize lower revenues than we had anticipated. We cannot assure you that any acquisitions or investments we have made or may make in the future will be completed or that, if completed, the acquired business, licenses, investments, products, or technologies will generate sufficient revenue to offset the negative costs or other negative effects on our business. Failure to manage effectively our growth through acquisitions or in-licensing transactions could adversely affect our growth prospects, business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flow.
In addition, we may spend significant amounts, issue dilutive securities, assume or incur significant debt obligations, incur large one-time expenses and acquire intangible assets or goodwill in connection with acquisitions and in-licensing transactions that could result in significant future amortization expense and write-offs. Moreover, we may not be able to locate suitable acquisition opportunities and this inability could impair our ability to grow or obtain access to technology or products that may be important to the development of our business. Other pharmaceutical companies, many of which may have substantially greater financial, marketing and sales resources, compete with us for these opportunities. Even if appropriate opportunities are available, we may not be able to successfully identify them or we may not have the financial resources necessary to pursue them, and if pursued, we may be unable to structure and execute transactions in the anticipated timeframe, or at all.
Even if we are able to successfully identify and acquire complementary products, technologies or businesses, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully manage the risks associated with integrating acquired products, technologies or businesses or the risks arising from anticipated and unanticipated problems in connection with an acquisition or in-licensing transaction. Further, while we seek to mitigate risks and liabilities of potential acquisitions and in-licensing transactions through, among other things, due diligence, there may be risks and liabilities that such due diligence efforts fail to discover, that are not disclosed to us, or that we inadequately assess. Any failure in identifying and managing these risks, liabilities and uncertainties effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of such transactions, including the possibility that expected synergies and accretion will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time frame.
If we lose our key personnel or are unable to attract and retain additional qualified personnel, our future growth and ability to compete would suffer.
We are highly dependent on the efforts and abilities of the principal members of our senior management. Additionally, we have scientific personnel with significant and unique expertise in monoclonal antibodies, ADCs and related technologies, and TUKYSA. The loss of the services of any one of the principal members of our managerial or scientific staff may prevent us from achieving our business objectives.
In addition, the competition for qualified personnel in the biotechnology field is intense, and our future success depends upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled scientific, technical and managerial employees. In order to continue to commercialize our products, and advance the development and commercialization of our additional product candidates, we will be required to expand our workforce, particularly in the areas of manufacturing, clinical trials management, regulatory affairs, business development, sales and marketing, both in the U.S. and in Europe. We continue to face intense competition for qualified individuals from numerous pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as academic and other research institutions, and with increasing reliance on remote work arrangements, the geographic market in which we compete for talent is expanding. Our failure to compete effectively in this area could negatively affect our sales of our current and any future approved products. To the extent we are not able to retain these individuals on favorable terms or attract any additional personnel that may be required, our business may be harmed. For example, we may not be successful in attracting or retaining key personnel necessary to effectively commercialize PADCEV and TUKYSA, to continue to build and operate our commercial infrastructure in Europe or to support the potential launch and commercialization of our product candidates, alone or jointly with our collaborators, if we receive regulatory approval. If our commercial organization is not appropriately sized or equipped to adequately market our current and any future approved products, the commercial potential of our current and any future approved products may be diminished, and our business and prospects for profitability may be adversely affected.

If we experience a significant disruption in our information technology systems or breaches of data security, our business could be adversely affected.
We rely on information technology systems to keep financial records, capture laboratory data, maintain clinical trial data, commercial sales data and corporate records, communicate with staff and external parties and operate other critical functions. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have intensified our dependence on information technology systems as many of our critical business activities are currently being conducted remotely and our increased reliance on personnel working from home could increase our cybersecurity risk. Our information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to disruption due to breakdown, malicious intrusion and computer viruses or other disruptive events including but not limited to natural disaster. If we were to experience a prolonged system disruption in our information technology systems or those of certain of our vendors, it could delay or negatively impact the development and commercialization of our products and product candidates, which could adversely impact our business. Although we maintain offsite back-ups of our data, if operations at our facilities were disrupted, it may cause a material disruption in our business if we are not capable of restoring function on an acceptable timeframe. In addition, our information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to data security breaches, whether by employees or others, which may expose sensitive or personal data to unauthorized persons. Such data security breaches could lead to the loss of trade secrets or other intellectual property, or could lead to the public exposure of personal information (including sensitive personal information) of our employees, patients in our clinical trials, customers and others, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, a security breach or privacy violation that leads to destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized use or access, disclosure or modification of, personally identifiable information or personal data, could harm our reputation, compel us to comply with federal, state and/or international breach notification laws, subject us to mandatory corrective or regulatory action, require us to verify the correctness of database contents and otherwise subject us to liability under laws and regulations that protect personal data, including the GDPR, which could disrupt our business, result in increased costs or loss of revenue, and/or result in significant legal and financial exposure. In addition, a data security breach could result in loss of clinical trial data or damage to the integrity of that data. If we are unable to implement and maintain adequate organizational and technical measures to prevent such security breaches or privacy violations, or to respond adequately in the event of a breach, our operations could be disrupted, and we may suffer loss of reputation, problems with regulatory authorities, financial loss and other negative consequences. Moreover, failure to maintain effective internal accounting controls related to data security breaches and cybersecurity in general could impact our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements and could subject us to regulatory scrutiny. In addition, security breaches and other inappropriate access can be difficult to detect, and any delay in identifying them may lead to increased harm of the type described above.
Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Capital Requirements
Our operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate. If our operating results are below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the trading price of our stock could decline.
Our operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. As a result, although we provide product sales guidance from time to time, you should not rely on product sales results in any period as being indicative of future performance. In addition, such guidance is based on assumptions that may be incorrect or that may change from quarter to quarter, and it may be particularly difficult to correctly forecast product sales for newly-approved products or in indications for existing products for which we have recently received marketing approval. Moreover, our product sales have, on occasion, been below the expectations of securities analysts and investors and have been below prior period sales, and our sales in the future may also be below prior period sales, our own guidance and/or the expectations of securities analysts and investors. To the extent that we again do not meet our guidance or the expectations of analysts or investors, our stock price may be adversely impacted, perhaps significantly. We believe that our quarterly and annual results of operations may be affected by a variety of factors, including:
customer ordering patterns for our products, which may vary significantly from period to period;
the overall level of demand for our products, including the impact of any competitive or biosimilar products and the duration of therapy for patients treated with our products;
the extent to which coverage and reimbursement for our products is available from government and health administration authorities, private health insurers, managed care programs and other third-party payors;
our ability to establish or demonstrate in the medical community the safety, efficacy or value of our products and their potential advantages compared to existing and future therapies in their approved indications;
changes in the amount of deductions from gross sales, including government-mandated rebates, chargebacks and discounts that can vary because of changes to the government discount percentage, including increases in the government discount percentage resulting from price increases we have taken or may take in the future, or due to
67

Table of Contents

different levels of utilization by entities entitled to government rebates and discounts and changes in patient demographics;
increases in the scope of eligibility for customers to purchase our products at the discounted government price or to obtain government-mandated rebates on purchases of our products;
changes in our cost of sales due to potential new product launches, royalties owed under technology license agreements or write-offs of inventory;
the incidence rate of new patients in the approved indications for our products;
the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including those leading to current and potential future reductions in the rate of cancer diagnoses;
the timing, cost and level of investment in our sales and marketing efforts to support our products sales;
the timing, cost and level of investment in our research and development, pre-commercialization and other activities involving ADCETRIS, PADCEV, TUKYSA, tisotumab vedotin and our other product candidates by us or our collaborators; and
expenditures we will or may incur to develop and/or commercialize any additional products, product candidates, or technologies that we may develop, in-license, or acquire.
In addition, even if we and/or our collaborators are able to obtain regulatory approvals for our product candidates, due to the lack of any historical sales data from the commercialization of any of our product candidates, sales of a newly-approved product such as PADCEV or TUKYSA will be difficult to predict from period to period. As a result, sales results or trends for PADCEV, TUKYSA or any of our future approved products in any period may not necessarily be indicative of future performance. In any event, if we are unable to obtain and maintain necessary or desirable regulatory approvals for our products and product candidates, including for ADCETRIS, PADCEV and TUKYSA, in a timely manner, if at all, if the FDA or other regulatory authorities do not approve product labeling that is necessary or desirable for the successful commercialization of an approved product, if we are unable to obtain favorable pricing and reimbursement approvals in countries that represent significant markets or if sales of an approved product do not reach the levels we expect, our anticipated revenue from our products and product candidates and our prospects for profitability would be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
Moreover, we have entered into collaboration and license agreements with other companies that include development funding and milestone and royalty payments to us, and we expect that amounts earned from our collaboration agreements will continue to be an important source of our revenues. Accordingly, our revenues will also depend on development funding and the achievement of development and clinical milestones under our existing collaboration and license agreements, including, in particular, our ADCETRIS collaboration with Takeda, our PADCEV collaboration with Astellas and our ladiratuzumab vedotin and TUKYSA collaborations with Merck, as well as entering into potential new collaboration and license agreements. These upfront and milestone payments may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and any such variance could cause a significant fluctuation in our operating results from one quarter to the next.
Further, changes in our operations, such as increased development, manufacturing and clinical trial expenses in connection with our expanding pipeline programs, or our undertaking of additional programs, or business activities, or entry into strategic transactions, including potential future acquisitions of products, technologies or businesses may also cause significant fluctuations in our expenses. In addition, we measure compensation cost for stock-based awards made to employees at the grant date of the award, based on the fair value of the award, and recognize the cost as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period. As the variables that we use as a basis for valuing these awards change over time, including our underlying stock price, the magnitude of the expense that we must recognize may vary significantly. Additionally, we have implemented long-term incentive plans for our employees, and the incentives provided under these plans are contingent upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones. Costs of performance-based compensation under our long-term incentive plans are not recorded as an expense until the achievement of the applicable milestones is deemed probable of being met, which may result in large fluctuations to the expense we must recognize in any particular period.
For these and other reasons, it is difficult for us to accurately forecast future sales of our current or any future approved products, collaboration and license agreement revenues, royalty revenues, operating expenses or future profits or losses. As a result, our operating results in future periods could be below our guidance or the expectations of securities analysts or investors, which could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, perhaps substantially.

We have a history of net losses. We expect to continue to incur net losses and may not achieve future sustained profitability for some time, if at all.
We have incurred substantial net losses in each of our years of operation, other than the year ended December 31, 2020. We have incurred these losses principally from costs incurred in our research and development programs and from our selling, general and administrative expenses. We expect to continue to spend substantial amounts on research and development, including amounts for conducting clinical trials of our products and product candidates as well as commercializing our products for the treatment of patients in their approved indications. In addition, we expect to make substantial expenditures to further develop and potentially commercialize tisotumab vedotin and our other product candidates. We may also pursue new operations or continue the expansion of our existing operations, including with respect to the continued development of our commercial infrastructure in Europe and our plans to otherwise continue to expand our operations internationally. Accordingly, even though we reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2020 due to the collaboration and license agreement revenues related to the agreements we entered into with Merck during 2020, we nonetheless expect to incur net losses in the future and may not achieve sustained profitability for some time, if at all. Although we recognize revenue from product sales and we continue to earn amounts under our collaboration agreements, our revenue and profit potential is unproven and our future operating results are difficult to predict. Even if we do achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability, the market value of our common stock will likely decline.
We may need to raise additional capital that may not be available to us.
We expect to make additional capital outlays and to increase operating expenditures over the next several years as we hire additional employees, and support our development, manufacturing, commercialization, and planned global expansion, which may require us to raise additional capital. In addition, we may pursue new operations or continue the expansion of our existing operations, including with respect to the continued development of our commercial infrastructure in Europe and our plans to otherwise continue to expand our operations internationally. Our commitment of resources to the continuing development, regulatory and commercialization activities for our products, the research, continued development and manufacturing of our product candidates, our pursuit of regulatory approvals for and preparing to potentially launch and commercialize our product candidates, and the anticipated expansion of our pipeline and operations may require us to raise additional capital. Further, we actively evaluate various strategic transactions on an ongoing basis, including licensing or otherwise acquiring complementary products, technologies or businesses, and we may require significant additional capital in order to complete or otherwise provide funding for such transactions. We may seek additional funding through some or all of the following methods: corporate collaborations, licensing arrangements and public or private debt or equity financings. We do not know whether additional capital will be available when needed, or that, if available, we will obtain financing on terms favorable to us or our stockholders. If we are unable to raise additional funds when we need them, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our development programs, which may adversely affect our business and operations. Our future capital requirements will depend upon a number of factors, including:
the level of sales and market acceptance of ADCETRIS, PADCEV, TUKYSA or of any future approved products;
the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals of our products in additional indications or territories, if any, and potentially of any of our other product candidates;
the size, complexity, timing, progress and number of our clinical programs and our collaborations;
the timing, receipt and amount of milestone-based payments or other revenue from our collaborations or license arrangements, including royalty revenue generated from commercial sales of ADCETRIS by Takeda, revenue generated under our collaboration with Astellas and anticipated royalty revenue generated by commercial sales of TUKYSA by Merck;
the cost of establishing and maintaining clinical supplies of our products and product candidates and commercial supplies of our current and any future approved products;
the extent of our investment in development, manufacturing and commercialization outside the U.S.;
the costs associated with acquisitions or licenses of additional technologies, products, or companies as well as licenses we may need to commercialize our current or any future approved products;
the terms and timing of any future collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish;
expenses associated with future securities class action or derivative lawsuits, as well as any other potential litigation;
the potential costs associated with international, state and federal taxes; and
competing technological and market developments.

In addition, changes in our spending rate may occur that would consume available capital resources sooner, such as increased development, manufacturing and clinical trial expenses in connection with our expanding pipeline programs or our undertaking of additional programs, business activities or entry into additional strategic transactions, including potential future acquisitions of products, technologies or businesses. Moreover, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. To the extent that we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish some rights to our technologies or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.
During the past several years, domestic and international financial markets have experienced extreme disruption from time to time, including, among other things, high volatility and significant declines in stock prices and severely diminished liquidity and credit availability for both borrowers and investors. Such adverse capital and credit market conditions could make it more difficult to obtain additional capital on favorable terms, or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and growth prospects. For example, our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by deteriorating global economic conditions and the disruptions to and volatility in the credit and financial markets in the U.S. and worldwide resulting from the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The potential future impairment of intangible assets and goodwill may negatively affect our results of operations and financial position.
As of March 31, 2021, we recorded $552.7 million of intangible assets, net and goodwill on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our intangible assets and goodwill are subject to an impairment analysis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Additionally, goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are subject to an impairment test at least annually. Events giving rise to impairment are an inherent risk in the pharmaceutical industry and cannot be predicted. Our results of operations and financial position in future periods could be negatively impacted should future impairments of intangible assets or goodwill occur.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Our stock price is volatile and our shares may suffer a decline in value.
The market price of our stock has in the past been, and is likely to continue in the future to be, very volatile. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, our closing stock price fluctuated between $137.51 and $190.80 per share. As a result of fluctuations in the price of our common stock, you may be unable to sell your shares at or above the price you paid for them. The market price of our common stock may be subject to substantial volatility in response to many risk factors listed in this section, and others beyond our control, including:
the levels of ADCETRIS, PADCEV and TUKYSA product sales;
announcements of FDA or other regulatory approval or non-approval of our products, including TUKYSA, or any of our product candidates or specific label indications for or restrictions, warnings or limitations in its use, or delays in the regulatory review or approval process;
announcements regarding the results of discovery efforts and preclinical, clinical and commercial activities by us, or those of our competitors;
announcements regarding the results of the clinical trials we and our collaborators are conducting or may in the future conduct for our products and product candidates;
announcements regarding, or negative publicity concerning, adverse events or safety concerns associated with the use of ADCETRIS, PADCEV, TUKYSA or our product candidates;
issuance of new or changed analysts’ reports and recommendations regarding us or our competitors;
termination of or changes in our existing collaborations or licensing arrangements, or establishment of new collaborations or licensing arrangements;
our failure to achieve the perceived benefits of our strategic transactions as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial analysts or investors;
our entry into additional material strategic transactions including licensing or acquisition of products, businesses or technologies;
actions taken by regulatory authorities with respect to our product candidates, our clinical trials or our regulatory filings;
our raising of additional capital and the terms upon which we may raise any additional capital;

market conditions for equity investments in general, or the biotechnology or pharmaceutical industries in particular;
developments or disputes concerning our proprietary rights, including with respect to our disputes with Daiichi Sankyo;
developments regarding any future purported securities class action lawsuits, as well as any other potential litigation;
share price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares;
changes in government regulations; and
economic or other external factors.
The stock markets in general, and the markets for biotechnology and pharmaceutical stocks in particular, have historically experienced significant volatility that has often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies, including in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in decreased market prices, notwithstanding the lack of a fundamental change in the underlying business models or prospects of those companies. In this regard as a result of the risks and evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Brexit and/or significant changes in U.S. social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing trade and healthcare spending and delivery outside the U.S., the financial markets could experience significant volatility that could also negatively impact the markets for biotechnology and pharmaceutical stocks. These broad market fluctuations have adversely affected and may in the future adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In this regard, worsening economic conditions and other adverse impacts or developments relating to the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.
In the past, class action or derivative litigation has often been instituted against companies whose securities have experienced periods of volatility in market price. In this regard, we have become, and may in the future again become, subject to claims and litigation alleging violations of the securities laws or other related claims, which could harm our business and require us to incur significant costs. Lawsuits brought against us could result in substantial costs, which would hurt our financial condition and results of operations and divert management’s attention and resources, which could result in delays of our clinical trials or our development and commercialization efforts.
Substantial future sales of shares of our common stock or equity-related securities could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock into the public market, including sales by members of our management or board of directors or entities affiliated with such members, could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity or equity-related securities. We are unable to predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our common stock. As of March 31, 2021, we had 181,323,376 shares of common stock outstanding, all of which shares are eligible for sale in the public market, subject in some cases to the volume limitations and manner of sale and other requirements under Rule 144. In addition, we may issue a substantial number of shares of our common stock or equity-related securities, including convertible debt, to meet our capital needs, including in connection with funding potential future acquisition or licensing opportunities, capital expenditures or product development costs, which issuances could be substantially dilutive and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Likewise, future issuances by us of our common stock upon the exercise, conversion or settlement of equity-based awards or other equity-related securities would dilute existing stockholders’ ownership interest in our company and any sales in the public market of these shares, or the perception that these sales might occur, could also adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Moreover, we have in the past and may in the future grant rights to some of our stockholders that require us to register the resale of our common stock or other securities on behalf of these stockholders and/or facilitate public offerings of our securities held by these stockholders, including in connection with potential future acquisition or capital-raising transactions. For example, in connection with our September 2015 public offering of common stock, we entered into a registration rights agreement with entities affiliated with Baker Bros. Advisors LP, or the Baker Entities, that together, based on information available to us as of March 31, 2021, collectively beneficially owned approximately 26% of our common stock. Under the registration rights agreement, if at any time and from time to time the Baker Entities demand that we register their shares of our common stock for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, we would be obligated to effect such registration. In December 2020, pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we registered for resale, from time to time, up to 47,366,602 shares of our common stock held by the Baker Entities. Our registration obligations under the registration rights agreement cover all shares now held or hereafter acquired by the Baker Entities, will continue in effect for up to ten years, and include our obligation to facilitate certain underwritten public offerings of our common stock by the Baker Entities in the future. Accordingly, we expect to register additional shares held by the Baker Entities for resale from time to time, including in certain cases, shares that we have previously registered for resale by the Baker Entities, whether in connection with the expiration of registration statements that we previously filed with the SEC or otherwise. If the Baker Entities, by exercise of these registration and/or underwriting rights and our registration of shares held by the Baker Entities for resale from time to time, or otherwise, sell a large number of our shares, or the market perceives that the Baker Entities intend to sell a large number of our shares, including in connection with our registrations of shares held by the Baker Entities for resale, this could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. We have also filed registration statements to register the sale of our common stock reserved for issuance under our equity incentive and employee stock purchase plans. Accordingly, these shares will be able to be freely sold in the public market upon issuance as permitted by any applicable vesting requirements.
Our existing stockholders have significant control of our management and affairs.
Based solely on the most recent Schedules 13G and 13D filed with the SEC, reports filed with the SEC under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and our outstanding shares of common stock as of March 31, 2021, our executive officers and directors and holders of greater than five percent of our outstanding common stock beneficially owned approximately 52% of our voting power as of March 31, 2021. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, are able to control our management and affairs and matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, such as mergers, consolidations or the sale of substantially all of our assets. Consequently, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, including a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control, which might affect the market price of our common stock.
Anti-takeover provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us.
Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders, which authority could be used to adopt a “poison pill” that could act to prevent a change of control of Seagen that has not been approved by our Board of Directors. The rights of the holders of common stock may be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of Seagen without further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. Further, certain provisions of our charter documents, including provisions eliminating the ability of stockholders to take action by written consent and limiting the ability of stockholders to raise matters at a meeting of stockholders without giving advance notice, may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or management of Seagen, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of our stock. In addition, our charter documents provide for a classified board, which may make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of our Board of Directors. Similarly, state anti-takeover laws in Delaware and Washington related to corporate takeovers may prevent or delay a change of control of Seagen.

General Risk Factors
Changes in tax laws or regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, financial condition or results of operations.
New tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be enacted at any time, including as a result of the recent change in U.S. presidential administration, which could adversely affect our business operations and financial performance. Further, existing tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us. In addition, as we continue to expand our operations internationally, we may become increasingly subject to taxation in additional jurisdictions. Changes in corporate tax rates, the realization of net deferred tax assets relating to our operations, the taxation of foreign earnings, and the deductibility of expenses could have a material impact on the value of our deferred tax assets, result in significant one-time charges, increase our future tax expense or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, financial condition or results of operations.
If any of our facilities are damaged or our clinical, research and development or other business processes are interrupted, our business could be seriously harmed.
We conduct most of our business in a limited number of facilities. Damage or extended periods of interruption to our corporate, development or research facilities due to fire, natural disaster, power loss, communications failure, unauthorized entry or other events could cause us to cease or delay development of some or all of our product candidates or interrupt the sales process for our products. Although we maintain property damage and business interruption insurance coverage on these facilities, our insurance might not cover all losses under such circumstances and our business may be seriously harmed by such delays and interruption.
Increasing use of social media could give rise to liability.
We are increasingly relying on social media tools as a means of communications. To the extent that we continue to use these tools as a means to communicate about our products and product candidates or about the diseases that our products and our product candidates are intended to treat, there are significant uncertainties as to either the rules that apply to such communications, or as to the interpretations that health authorities will apply to the rules that exist. As a result, despite our efforts to comply with applicable rules, there is a significant risk that our use of social media for such purposes may cause us to nonetheless be found in violation of them. Such uses of social media could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Legislative actions and new accounting pronouncements are likely to impact our future financial position or results of operations.
Future changes in financial accounting standards may cause adverse, unexpected revenue fluctuations and affect our financial position or results of operations. New pronouncements and varying interpretations of pronouncements have occurred with frequency in the past and are expected to occur again in the future and as a result we may be required to make changes in our accounting policies. Those changes could adversely affect our reported revenues and expenses, future profitability or financial position. Compliance with new regulations regarding corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses.
The application of existing or future financial accounting standards, particularly those relating to the way we account for revenues and costs, could have a significant impact on our reported results. In addition, compliance with new regulations regarding corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses. As a result, we intend to invest all reasonably necessary resources to comply with evolving standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from science and business activities to compliance activities.

3/42 1A. Special Lease Terms, if any. The following additional Lease terms shall apply. To the extent of any inconsistency between this Section 1A and the other provisions of the Lease, this Section 1A shall control. Required Delivery Condition. Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant following mutual execution of this Lease in AS-IS condition except that Landlord will spend up to $[ * ] (the “Repair Fund”) on repairs to building systems and structures previously identified by Tenant, specifically, repairs to the [ * ]. Abatement of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5, during the period from mutual execution of this Lease through [ * ], Tenant’s share of Operating Expenses shall be abated and Tenant shall pay only for utilities provided to the Premises commencing on the date of mutual execution and delivery of this Lease. Cap on Management Fee. The management fee included in Operating Expenses shall not exceed [ * ]% of net rental income of the Building. Janitorial Services. Tenant shall separately contract and pay for all janitorial services to the Premises and shall cause such services to be provided to the standard customary in a first class office building. Audit Rights. Landlord shall permit Tenant the right, once per operating year, to audit Landlord’s operating statement showing Tenant’s Share of the Operating Expenses for the year. The cost of such audit shall be paid by Tenant unless the audit shows that Landlord has misstated Tenant’s Share of the Operating Expenses by more than five percent, in which case Landlord shall pay all reasonable costs of audit; provided, however, that the audit not be performed on a “contingency” basis or other basis under which the auditor is paid a share of any cost discrepancy discovered. Options to Extend. Provided that Tenant is not in default after receipt of notice and expiration of any applicable cure period at the time of exercise or at commencement of the Option Term (unless the default is cured within any applicable cure period), and provided that Tenant has not failed to pay Base Rent when due under this Lease [ * ] during the prior [ * ], regardless of whether that default was cured within the applicable cure period, then Tenant shall have [ * ] options to extend the Lease Term (each, an “Extension Option”) for a period of [ * ] (each an “Option Term”) each, upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Lease, except that Base Rent shall be adjusted as described below and the provisions of this Lease regarding Base Rent, abatement of Base Rent and abatement of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, TI Allowance, Lobby Area Allowance and space planning allowance shall not be applicable. The Extension Options shall be exercised, if at all, by written notice to Landlord at least [ * ] prior to the expiration of the then existing Term. The Extension Options are personal to Tenant (except they may be transferred in connection with related party transfers addressed below in this Section 1.A) and may not be exercised by any other assignee or sublessee and may not be exercised during any period that the entire Premises is subleased out by Tenant (unless to a related party as set forth below). The exercise of each Extension Option shall extend the Lease for the entire Premises. Extension Rent. If Tenant exercises an Extension Option, the Base Rent schedule for the Option Term shall be equal to the then Fair Market Rent including a fair market rate of escalation during the Option Term. As used herein “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the market rent for a [ * ]. Fair Market Rent shall take into consideration, the improvements paid for by Landlord via the TI Allowance and the Lobby Area Allowance. Fair Market Rent shall not take into consideration the value of any tenant improvements paid for solely by Tenant except that it shall include the portion of the tenant improvements paid for by Tenant which represent the dollar value of the abated Base Rent. If there are not five comparable leases of similar size leased spaces in the Canyon Park/Bothell submarket, the market shall be expanded to include the greater Redmond/Kirkland market, as adjusted to reflect the Canyon 3


 
4/42 Park/Bothell submarket. Tenant’s estimate of the Fair Market Rent shall be included with Tenant’s option exercise notice. Landlord shall give Tenant notice of Landlord’s estimate of the Fair Market Rent within [ * ] days after receipt of Tenant’s notice and thereafter the parties shall use good faith efforts to reach agreement on the Base Rent schedule for the Option Term within [ * ] after receipt of Landlord’s estimate. If the parties do not reach agreement on the Fair Market Rent within [ * ], then each party shall select a real estate appraiser with an MAI designation and at least [ * ] full-time commercial real estate appraisal experience in the office/high-tech industrial market (including laboratory space) in the Bothell/Canyon Park area and those two appraisers shall meet and work in good faith to reach agreement on the Fair Market Rent. If they reach agreement, then their decision shall be binding on the parties. If the two appraisers aren’t able to reach agreement within [ * ] after their selection, then the first two appraisers shall (a) put in writing their determination of the Fair Market Rent (the “Landlord’s Rent Proposal” and the “Tenant’s Rent Proposal”, respectively), and (b) jointly select a third appraiser with the qualifications described above. Within [ * ] after the selection of the third appraiser, the third appraiser shall determine which of the first two appraiser’s determinations most closely approximates what the third appraiser believes to be the Fair Market Rent. The Fair Market Rent established by the third appraiser shall be determined no later than [ * ] after engagement and shall be binding on the parties. Each party shall pay the cost of its appraiser and half the cost of the third appraiser. Early Entry for Construction. Commencing upon mutual execution of this Lease, Tenant may enter the Premises to construct Tenant’s Work (as defined in Section 2.5) in accordance with the Work Letter attached as Exhibit C to this Lease. During such early entry period, all the provisions of the Lease shall apply other than the payment of Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, however, Tenant shall pay all utilities and any costs directly related to construction and occurring during the construction period until the Commencement Date. Related Party Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1, Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s consent to assign the Lease to (i) a company wholly owned by Tenant, or (ii) a company under common control with Tenant, or (iii) a company that acquires Tenant or into which Tenant is merged [ * ] (a) [ * ], (b) a description of the proposed use of the Premises by the Transferee, (c) a summary of the terms of the proposed Transfer, (d) past three years plus current financial statements, if not publicly available, and the most recent filed federal income tax return of the proposed Transferee, and (e) a summary of the proposed Transfer documents all prior to the effective date of the assignment unless such transaction has not been made public and in that case, within [ * ] after such public announcement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, a public offering, sale or transfer of equity in the Tenant entity, whether characterized as common or preferred stock or any other ownership interest conducted in accordance with Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall not require Landlord’s consent pursuant to this Section. No such assignment shall release Tenant from its obligations hereunder except in the case of a merger or acquisition in which Tenant is not the surviving entity. Sections 11.1, 11.5, 11.6 and 11.7 shall not apply to transfers permitted under this paragraph where Landlord’s consent is not required. Exterior Building Signage. Subject to City of Bothell rules and regulations, Canyon Park Business Owners Association Covenants and approvals and Landlord’s reasonable approval, Tenant shall have the right to a sign on the Building façade at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall have the right to select the exterior signage size, design and application subject to local codes, the Canyon Park Business Owners Association Covenants and approvals, published sign criteria and Landlord’s reasonable approval. Any exterior sign shall be located on the portion of the Building leased by Tenant. Prior to expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove the sign and repair the installation area so that the function and appearance of the affected area is indistinguishable from the surrounding area (including removal of adhesive materials, patching and painting (if requested) the area to achieve such condition and appearance). Landlord shall be entitled to post signage on the Building exterior and elsewhere on the Project offering any available space in the Building for lease or sale and will work with Tenant to minimize the impact to Tenant in marketing such space. 4


 
5/42 Tenant Improvements; TI Allowance. Subject to and in accordance with the detailed provisions set forth in the Work Letter, Landlord agrees to provide a tenant improvement allowance of up to $[ * ] per rentable square foot (the “TI Allowance”) to be applied toward the construction of improvements which are part of Tenant’s Work, as reasonably approved by Landlord, including a [ * ].

Any such items paid for solely by Tenant, and not by application of the TI Allowance, shall remain the property of Tenant and may be removed at the end of the Term, as it may be extended, so long as Tenant fully repairs and restores any affected portion of the Premises. The cost of the foregoing equipment shall not be included in the calculation of the amounts funded by Tenant under Section F.4. of the Work Letter. Potential Reduction in TI Allowance. The TI Allowance is subject to reduction if Tenant does not fund its required amounts of Eligible Costs as further described in Section F.4. of the Work Letter. Space Plan. Landlord and Tenant have agreed to the proposed space plan attached hereto as Exhibit G, which provides some information on the planned tenant improvements to the second floor of the Premises and Lobby Area Upgrades.

Tenant shall competitively bid the costs of construction and select its own architect and union contractors and subcontractors. Such architect and union contractors/subcontractors must be reasonably approved by Landlord. The parties hereby agree that Stock and Associates, Lease Crutcher Lewis, and GLY are acceptable architects and contractors, as the case may be. Tenant shall have the right to contract directly with the general contractor and all vendors and subcontractors. Removal of Improvements. At the time Landlord approves Tenant’s Work (as described in the “Approved Final Plans” in the Work Letter), Landlord will notify Tenant whether it will be required to remove any specialized improvements shown in those plans and restore the affected space upon vacating. If Landlord does not notify Tenant at such time, it shall be assumed that Landlord requires Tenant’s removal of such improvements. Upon expiration of the Lease or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall have the right to remove its fixed equipment not funded by the TI Allowance (equipment paid for and installed by Tenant) and any other mutually agreed equipment. Exhibit F hereof is a list of equipment Tenant is permitted to remove at the end of the Term as of the date of this Lease. Tenant shall repair all damage to the Premises associated with the removal of such equipment, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

To the extent that details of the Generator, pad and other matters related to the Generator are included in the Approved Final Plans, those details shall be approved at the same time as the balance of the Approved Final Plans. The design and operation of the Generator and pad shall be such as to avoid material interference with others. The Generator shall be used only for backup power and may not be used as a primary power source, nor may it be used by any other party. The Generator and pad shall be subject to all the terms of this Lease, including but not limited to Sections 8.3, 10, and 17, provided only that the square footage of the Generator pad shall not be included in the calculation of the area of the Premises.

Upon expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall remove all improvements and equipment from the Generator pad and shall provide such studies or other information as is necessary to demonstrate to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that there has been no environmental contamination as a result of the storage and operation of the Generator and the fuel tank.

By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the current condition of the Premises, subject to Landlord’s obligations described in Required Delivery Condition, and any alleged defects or deficiencies are waived. 2.5 Tenant’s Work. All initial improvements to the Premises, including Lobby Area Upgrades, are referred to as “Tenant’s Work” and shall be governed by Exhibit C. 2.6 Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply with the Rules and Regulations established by Landlord from time to time for the Project. The current Rules and Regulations are attached as Exhibit D.

Tenant shall not make any penetrations in the Building (roof, walls, foundations, etc.) without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Tenant is permitted to penetrate the Building, the consent shall be subject to Landlord’s conditions, including (a) Landlord’s approval of plans and specifications for the penetration and the contractor to perform it, (b) arrangements to insure that the penetration will not adversely affect any warranty, (c) Tenant’s agreement to reimburse Landlord for costs incurred in connection with any later problems which develop with the penetrated area, and (d) Tenant’s agreement to remove the equipment before the end of the Lease and completely seal the penetration to Landlord’s satisfaction and in compliance with any applicable warranty. In addition, depending on the seriousness of the penetration, Landlord may require Tenant to post a deposit to guarantee Tenant’s performance. To the extent that details of any penetrations are included in the Approved Final Plans, those details shall be approved at the same time as the balance of the Approved Final Plans and Tenant shall be responsible for insuring that the penetrations do not adversely affect any Landlord warranties and for costs in connection with any later problems which develop with the penetrated areas as well as the obligation to remove and re-seal the penetration unless Landlord agrees to allow the penetration to remain. If Tenant penetrates the building without Landlord’s written consent or violates the terms of the consent, Tenant shall be in default hereunder until and unless Tenant repairs such penetration to its pre-existing condition and if not done to Landlord’s satisfaction, Landlord may repair such penetration and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs related thereto. 11


 
12/42 6.4 Telecommunications Services. 6.4.1 Tenant. Tenant, at its expense, shall arrange for all telecommunications services desired by Tenant. Landlord will have no responsibility for the maintenance of Tenant’s telecommunications equipment and/or wiring (“Telecom Facilities”), or for any infrastructure to which it is connected.

The occurrence of any Line Problems shall not be considered an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant’s equipment is damaged by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord (but not including Landlord’s agents), Landlord will reimburse Tenant for the cost of the damage not to exceed the lesser of $[ * ] or the amount of Tenant’s applicable property insurance deductible. 6.4.3 EMF. If Tenant’s Telecom Facilities create an electromagnetic field exceeding radiation limits permitted by FCC regulations, as now or hereafter amended (“FCC Regs”), Landlord may require Tenant to take any and all steps necessary to reduce radiation to levels permitted by the FCC Regs. Tenant will indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all liability, costs and damages arising out of Tenant’s electromagnetic emissions, including any failure of Landlord to take any action in connection with such emissions. If Tenant’s Telecom Facilities and other Telecom Facilities located in the Project together exceed the radiation limits permitted by FCC Regs, Tenant will pay its share, as reasonably determined by Landlord, of all costs associated with safety measures taken by Landlord. 6.4.4 Alternative Provider. If Tenant wishes to utilize the services of a telecommunications provider whose equipment is not servicing the Building (an “Alternate Provider”), Tenant shall notify Landlord of the name of the Alternate Provider, the type of service to be provided, the equipment Alternate Provider wishes to install in the Building and any other information that Landlord reasonably requests. No Alternate Provider may install any equipment in the Building until Landlord has given its written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. Landlord may require that the following conditions be met: (a) the Alternate Provider entering into a written agreement reasonably satisfactory to Landlord with all terms and conditions of the Alternate Provider’s access to the Project; (b) Landlord will incur no expense, including for installation, maintenance and service; (c) Landlord’s right to approve the location, plans and installation of all equipment and wiring; (d) before commencing any work in or about the Project, the Alternate Provider (1) supplies Landlord with indemnities, evidence of insurance, financial statements and other information Landlord deems reasonably necessary; and (2) agrees to abide by rules Landlord deems reasonably necessary to protect the Project and the interests of the other tenants; (e) Landlord has reasonably determined that there is sufficient roof, riser, conduit and/or equipment space for the Alternate Provider’s equipment and cabling; (f) the Alternate Provider is licensed, qualified to do business in the state where the Premises is located and has sufficient experience and financial strength to perform its obligations; and (g) the Alternate Provider agrees to compensate Landlord in the amount 12


 
13/42 reasonably determined by Landlord for the space used in the Building, unless this space is included in the Premises, and all costs that Landlord may incur in Alternate Provider’s equipment within the Building. The provisions of this Section may be enforced solely by Tenant and Landlord. No telephone or telecommunications provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of Section 6.4. 6.5 Compliance/Permits. Tenant shall obtain and pay for all permits related to its business and/or its specific use of the Premises. At its expense, Tenant shall comply with all laws, orders, ordinances and regulations of federal, state or other governmental authorities and with any direction made pursuant to law of any public officer with respect to the Premises or the use thereof, including any obligation to make alterations in the Premises required as a condition of Tenant’s use or occupancy. 7. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS/LANDLORD SERVICES 7.1 Tenant’s Repairs. Except as provided in Section 1A (Special Lease Terms), Section 7.2 (Landlord’s Obligations), Section 12 (Damage or Destruction), and Section 13 (Condemnation), Tenant shall keep and maintain all portions of the Premises in good order, condition and repair, including, interior and exterior doors and windows, floors, lighting (including bulbs) and all fixtures and equipment in the Premises as well as Tenant’s generator and bike storage. Tenant’s repair and maintenance responsibility shall include replacement of equipment and components which are Tenant’s responsibility to maintain and repair and which can no longer be brought into good operating condition with repairs. If any part of the Project is damaged by any act or omission of Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees, Tenant shall pay the cost of repairing or replacing the damage. Tenant shall maintain the portions of the Premises which Tenant is obligated to maintain in an attractive and fully operative condition. 7.2 Landlord’s Obligations. Landlord shall be responsible for the maintenance and repairs to the exterior (the exterior of the Building as well as the improvements to the portions of the Project outside the Building) and structural portions of the Building as well as those portions of the building systems which Landlord from time to time elects to control the maintenance and repairs on (the “Project Work”). Landlord agrees to maintain its portion of the Project in a manner consistent with a high quality building within the Canyon Park/Bothell area in an attractive and fully operative condition. Project Work shall include the repair, maintenance and replacement of the roof and roof membrane, life safety, electrical, plumbing and other mechanical systems to the extent that Landlord elects to control such maintenance and repairs. If any Project Work is necessitated due to damage caused by Tenant, its agents or employees, Landlord may require Tenant to pay the cost of that work within [ * ] of receipt by Tenant of the invoice to the extent such cost is not covered by insurance carried by Landlord. Tenant waives the benefit of any present or future law which might give Tenant the right to repair the Premises at Landlord’s expense or to terminate the Lease due to the condition of the Premises. 7.3 Basic Services. Tenant shall arrange directly with the provider for all utilities to the Premises and shall pay the costs as and when due. Landlord may provide such security for the portions of the Project outside the Premises as it deems appropriate. Tenant shall provide security against unauthorized entry into the Building. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for injury to its agents, employees, customers or invitees, or for losses due to theft or burglary, or for damages done by unauthorized persons. 7.4 Intentionally Omitted. 7.5 Interruption of Service. Landlord does not warrant that any utilities or services will be free from interruption including by reason of accident, repairs, alterations, or other causes. No utility interruption shall be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant, or render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages or relieve Tenant from the full and complete performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; provided only that to the extent casualty damage renders the Premises untenantable, and loss of rents arising therefrom are covered by rental interruption insurance carried by Landlord, then and to that extent, rental on the Premises shall abate in the proportion that the portion of the Premises rendered untenantable bears to the total Premises. 13


 
14/42 8. ALTERATIONS 8.1 Alterations Procedures. Also see Section 1.A. Following any work performed pursuant to Exhibit C, Tenant shall not make any alterations to the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as the alterations do not affect the structure, the exterior appearance of the Building or the Building systems. Landlord may condition its consent on various matters, including Tenant agreeing to remove the alterations and repair any resulting damage on Lease termination at Tenant’s cost, Tenant posting security for the estimated removal/repair cost, paying a construction management fee to Landlord or its agent, Landlord’s approval of the plans and specifications for the work, and use of union-affiliated contractors and subcontractors. Landlord may require Tenant to provide commercially reasonable lien waivers prior to commencement of the work. All alterations, additions, and improvements shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformity with all applicable laws and regulations, and by a contractor approved by Landlord. Landlord’s approval of the contractor shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as the contractor or person selected by Tenant to make the alterations and all subcontractors are signatory and in good standing with local unions (Landlord will work with Tenant to identify qualifying contractors and subcontractors and shall only grant an exemption to this requirement if no qualified contractor or subcontractor is available after diligent research). Upon completion of any such work, Tenant shall provide Landlord with “as built” plans, copies of all construction permits, contracts and approvals, and proof of payment for all labor and materials. Notwithstanding the above, Landlord’s consent shall not be required, but Tenant shall notify Landlord at least [ * ] days in advance for alterations not affecting building systems or building structure or exterior and costing less than $[ * ] per alteration or $[ * ] aggregate per year. The parties specifically agree that change in the location and configurations of cubicles are not considered alternations. At the time of requesting Landlord’s consent to alterations (or at the time of notice of Landlord’s consent is not required), Tenant may request that Landlord elect whether to require Tenant to remove such improvement or alteration upon expiration or termination of the Lease, and Landlord shall make such election at the time of granting consent or within [ * ] days of request if consent is not required. If Landlord fails to make an election, Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to have Tenant remove the alteration. 8.2 Mechanic’s Lien. Tenant shall have no express or implied authority to place any lien or encumbrance upon, Landlord’s interest in the Premises or to burden the Rent for any claim in favor of any person dealing with Tenant, including those who furnish materials or perform labor for any construction or repairs, and each such claim shall attach, if at all, only to Tenant’s leasehold interest. Tenant will cause to be paid when due all sums owed for any labor performed or materials furnished in connection with any work performed on the Premises for Tenant. Landlord may require Tenant to post a notice of Landlord’s non-responsibility with respect to the work prior to starting the work and Landlord shall similarly have the right to post such notices. If any lien is filed against the Project in connection with Tenant’s activities, Tenant shall, within [ * ] days after notice of the filing thereof, either (a) pay the amount of the lien and cause the lien to be released of record, or (b) diligently contest such lien and deliver to Landlord a bond or other security satisfactory to Landlord. If Tenant fails to timely take either such action, then Landlord may pay the lien claim, and any amounts so paid, including expenses and interest, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten days after Landlord has invoiced Tenant therefor. 8.3 Condition upon Surrender. Also see Section 1.A. Upon the termination of the Lease, Tenant shall remove all its personal property and surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean and in the same condition as received except for ordinary wear and tear which Tenant was not otherwise obligated to remedy under this Lease, including without limitation all electrical, plumbing and other mechanical systems for which Tenant has responsibility under Section 7.1 above in good operating condition and shall deliver all keys to the Building and Premises to Landlord. In addition, except to the 14


 
15/42 extent that Landlord provided its consent for a particular alteration to remain upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord may require Tenant to remove any alterations, except for the Tenant’s Work and Lobby Area Upgrades, made by Tenant and to restore the Premises to its prior condition, at Tenant’s expense. All alterations which Landlord does not require Tenant to remove shall become Landlord’s property and shall be surrendered to Landlord on termination of the Lease, except that Tenant may remove any of Tenant’s machinery or equipment which can be removed without material damage to the Premises. Tenant shall repair, at Tenant’s expense, any damage to the Premises caused by the removal of any such machinery or equipment. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, Tenant shall not remove any fixtures or equipment considered a part of the real property without Landlord’s prior written consent or unless required by Landlord. Such items shall include: any wiring; power panels, lighting or lighting fixtures; wall coverings; drapes, blinds or other window coverings; floor coverings. Telecommunications and data cabling shall not be considered part of the real estate and Landlord may elect either to require Tenant to remove it or leave it in place. All property required by Landlord to be removed from the Premises at the end of the Term and which remains after Tenant vacates, shall be deemed abandoned and may, at the election of Landlord, be retained as Landlord’s property, or may be removed from the Premises by Landlord at Tenant’s expense and either disposed of or stored at Tenant’ expense. Tenant waives any claim against Landlord for damage to or disposal of any personal property removed from the Premises by Landlord. 9. SECURITY DEPOSIT Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit specified in Section 1, which may be deposited in an investment account in accordance with Section 1A. If a default continues beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord may apply all or part of the Security Deposit to any unpaid Rent or to cure any other defaults of Tenant. If Landlord uses any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall restore the Security Deposit to its original amount within [ * ] after Landlord’s written request. Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a default under this Lease and the overdue amount shall accrue interest as any delinquent payment. If [ * ], late charges are assessed against Tenant by Landlord, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, require Tenant to pay Landlord an amount equal to [ * ] months Base Rent as an increase in the Security Deposit, due within [ * ] days after Tenant’s receipt of the notice. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises, Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit to its successor in interest, whereupon Landlord shall be automatically released from any liability for the return of the Security Deposit. At the end of the Term, the remaining Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant after Landlord has verified that Tenant has fully vacated the Premises, removed all of its property and surrendered the Premises in the condition required and otherwise Tenant is not in default in under any provision of this Lease; provided that Landlord may hold back a portion of the Security Deposit until final determination of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses due hereunder, whereupon any final adjustment shall be made and any remaining Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant. Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Security Deposit are those of a debtor and not of a trustee. Unless the Security Deposit is in an investment account held by a third party, Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord’s general funds and no interest shall be paid to Tenant on the Security Deposit. 10. INSURANCE/INDEMNITY 10.1 Tenant’s Insurance. At its expense, Tenant shall obtain and maintain at all times during the term of this Lease: (a) commercial general liability insurance, with completed operations coverage, with limits of at least $[ * ] per occurrence and $[ * ] general aggregate, or such higher amounts as Landlord may from time to time reasonably designate on not less than [ * ] days’ notice to Tenant, consistent with insurance levels required by prudent landlords for similar projects and uses in the area, containing an aggregate per location endorsement during periods that Tenant’s general aggregate limit is less than $[ * ], a contractual liability endorsement covering the matters set forth in Section 10.3, and primary with regard to the Premises [ * ] and shall not contain deductibles or self-insured retentions 15


 
16/42 exceeding the following limits: (a) up to $[ * ] if Tenant’s then net worth is less than $[ * ], (b) up to $[ * ] if Tenant’s then net worth is less than $[ * ], (c) up to $[ * ] if Tenant’ net worth is less than $[ * ], and (d) up to $[ * ] if Tenant’s net worth is greater than $[ * ]. The policies shall contain waivers of subrogation with regard to Landlord and the other additional insureds listed in Section 1. The liability policy shall be on an occurrence form and name the entities listed in Section 1 as additional insureds, as their interests may appear. All insurers shall agree not to cancel or amend (including as to scope or amount of coverage) such policies without at least [ * ] prior written notice to Tenant. Tenant shall give Landlord at least [ * ] prior written notice of any such cancellation or amendment, unless such amendment is to increase the scope and or coverage provided under such polices. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with certificates of insurance evidencing the above coverages upon request during the Term as well as a copy of the additional insured endorsement. If Tenant manufactures on the Premises consumer goods, Tenant’s insurance shall include products liability insurance in the amounts specified for commercial general liability insurance. 10.2 Landlord’s Insurance. As part of Operating Expenses, Landlord shall maintain (a) special causes of loss form replacement cost insurance on the Building; (b) commercial general liability insurance insuring Landlord; (c) rental loss insurance; and (d) such other insurance as Landlord elects to carry. The liability insurance obtained by Landlord shall be excess, secondary and non-contributory and Tenant’s insurance shall be primary. Landlord shall not obtain insurance for Tenant’s fixtures or equipment or Tenant’s other property. Operating Expenses shall include the deductibles on Landlord’s coverage. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done which invalidates Landlord’s insurance policies or increases the premiums and any such increase shall be paid by Tenant. 10.3 Indemnity. Subject to Landlord’s release in Section 10.4.2, Tenant shall indemnify and defend (using legal counsel acceptable to Landlord) all Landlord Parties (defined below) from any claims, costs (including attorneys’ fees and other litigation costs) or damages (collectively, “Claims”) arising in connection with (a) the occupancy or use of the Premises by Tenant Parties (defined below) and customers, including any work undertaken or contracted for by Tenant; (b) Tenant’s breach of this Lease, (c) any negligent or wrongful act or omission of Tenant Parties or customers; (d) any accident, injury, occurrence or damage in or about the Premises but excluding claims for physical damage to persons or property to the extent caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of this Lease by Landlord; and (e) any Claim against Landlord by any employee or former employee of Tenant for matters arising in connection with the Premises but only to the extent that any such Claim is not caused by or the result of breach of this Lease by Landlord. Tenant agrees that the provisions of any employee injury insurance act, including Title 51 of the Revised Code of Washington, or any other employee benefit act shall not operate to release or immunize Tenant from its obligations under this Section. This indemnity is not contingent upon insurance coverage, is not limited to the amount of any insurance proceeds, and operates independently of the insurance provisions of this Lease. The term “Landlord Parties” shall mean Landlord, any mortgagees, Washington Capital Management, Inc. (“WCM”), the property manager, and their respective members, partners or other owners and affiliates, subsidiaries, successors and assigns. The term “Tenant Parties” means Tenant, Tenant’s shareholders, members, partners or other owners, Tenant’s affiliates and subsidiaries, and any directors, officers, employees, sublessees, licensees, invitees, agents, contractors and successors and/or assigns of such persons or entities. 10.4 Waivers. 10.4.1 Tenant Waiver. Tenant hereby releases, waives and discharges the Landlord Parties from any and all claims Tenant might otherwise now or hereafter possess associated with, any loss covered by insurance (or which would have been covered by the insurance Tenant is required to carry hereunder), including the deductible portion thereof, regardless of cause. 16


 
17/42 10.4.2 Landlord’s Waiver. Landlord hereby releases, waives and discharges the Tenant Parties from any and all claims Landlord might otherwise now or hereafter possess associated with any loss covered by Landlord’s insurance (or which would have been covered by the insurance Landlord is required to carry hereunder), but excluding the deductible portion thereof, regardless of cause. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord maintains environmental insurance for which Tenant is not charged, there shall be no release or waiver of claims relating to such insurance and Tenant’s indemnities under this Section 10 shall be primary to and not released by virtue of that environmental insurance. 10.5 Limitation on Indemnity. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease to the contrary, in compliance with RCW 4.24.115 as in effect on the date of this Lease, all provisions of this Lease pursuant to which a party (the “Indemnitor”) agrees to indemnify the other (the “Indemnitee”) against liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to Persons or damage to property relative to the construction, alteration, repair, addition to, subtraction from, improvement to, or maintenance of, any building, road, or other structure, project, development, or improvement attached to real estate, including the Premises, (i) shall not apply to damages caused by or resulting from the sole negligence of the Indemnitee, its agents or employees, and (ii) to the extent caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of (a) the Indemnitee or the Indemnitee’s agents or employees, and (b) the Indemnitor or the Indemnitor’s agents or employees, shall apply only to the extent of the Indemnitor’s negligence; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the limitations on indemnity set forth in this Section shall automatically and without further act be deemed amended so as to remove any of the restrictions contained in this Section no longer required by then applicable law. 10.6 Survival. The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive expiration or termination of this Lease. 11. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING 11.1 Assignment or Sublease. Except as permitted by Section 1A (“Related Party Transfers”) Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises (each, a “Transfer” and any assignee or sublessee, a “Transferee”) without Landlord’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as the Transferee meets the transfer standards set forth in Section 11.6. To assist Landlord in determining whether to consent to a Transfer, Tenant shall submit the following to Landlord as well as any other information reasonably requested by Landlord, (i) the name, legal entity and jurisdiction of the Transferee; (ii) a description of the proposed use of the Premises; (iii) the terms of the proposed Transfer; (iv) if such Transferee is not a public entity, its three (3) most recent years plus current financial statements and its most recent filed federal income tax return; and (v) the proposed Transfer documents. The parties agree that the financial statements for periods earlier than the prior fiscal year financial statements and tax returns are not a mandatory requirement but are only factors that the Landlord may reasonably consider when deciding whether to consent to a proposed sublease or assignment. No Transfer shall affect the liability of Tenant under this Lease and Tenant and any Transferee shall be liable to Landlord for performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Consent to any Transfer shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity of a consent to any subsequent Transfer. 11.2 Entity Ownership. Except as permitted by Section 1A, the cumulative transfer of an aggregate of 50% or more of the voting interests in a Tenant entity, including by creation or issuance of new ownership interests (except as the result of transfers by gift or inheritance and except for transfers of interests in publicly traded entities) shall be deemed a Transfer of this Lease. 11.3 Assignee Obligation. Any assignee will be required to assume all obligations of Tenant and shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Any sublessee will be required to assume all obligations of Tenant to the extent they 17


 
18/42 relate to the subleased premises. Tenant shall provide Landlord duplicate originals of all instruments of assignment, sublease or assumption. If the Transferee defaults, Landlord may, without affecting any other rights of Landlord, proceed against Tenant or any Transferee or any other person liable for Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Tenant shall provide the notice address for any subtenant or assignee to Landlord prior to the effective date of the Transfer and if it is not provided, the applicable notice address shall be deemed to be the Premises. 11.4 Fees. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any request for consent to a Transfer. In addition, any request for consent to a Transfer shall be accompanied by payment of a non-refundable fee of $[ * ] to compensate Landlord for the administrative burden of processing the request. 11.5 Assignment/Subletting Income. Except in connection with transfers described in Section 1A, Tenant shall pay to Landlord within [ * ] of receiving any amounts from an assignee to Tenant which exceed the Rent payable by Tenant hereunder, [ * ]% of such excess, whether in the form of assignment fees or increased Base Rent or otherwise; provided that Tenant shall be permitted to deduct amortization of Tenant’s out of pocket costs for the assignment (including attorneys’ fees and brokerage commissions and any portion of tenant improvements for the assignee funded by Tenant) spread over the remaining Term. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within [ * ] of receiving any amounts from a sublessee which exceed, on a per square foot basis, the Rent due from Tenant hereunder, [ * ]% of such excess; provided that Tenant shall be permitted to deduct amortization of Tenant’s out of pocket costs for the sublease (including attorneys’ fees and brokerage commissions and any portion of tenant improvements for the sublessee funded by Tenant), amortized over the sublease term. 11.6 Transfer Standards. All of the following requirements must be met before Landlord will be required to not unreasonably withhold its consent to a Transfer: (a) Transferee’s uses (i) are consistent with the Permitted Use in Section 1 and compatible with the other uses in the Building and with operation of a first class office building and do not create any increased risk of Hazardous Material contamination or increased cost to Landlord of monitoring or handling same; (ii) do not increase the risk of damage or wear and tear on the Building; (iii) do not require increased utility service or increased services from Landlord or changes in the Premises; and (iv) do not increase the insurance costs of Landlord; and (b) Either (i) Tenant’s net worth is at least $[ * ], or (ii) Transferee’s financial status and creditworthiness is comparable to other tenants of similar amounts of space in the Building or similar buildings. 11.7 Landlord’s Recapture Right. Except in connection with transfers permitted by Section 1A, in lieu of granting consent to any proposed Transfer, Landlord reserves the right to terminate this Lease or, in the case of subletting of less than all the Premises, to terminate this Lease with respect to such portion of the Premises, as of the proposed effective date of the Transfer, in which event Landlord may enter into the relationship of landlord and tenant with such proposed Transferee or to any other third party. Such termination shall not relieve Tenant from any obligations under this Lease with regard to the time period prior to the termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not have a recapture right in the case of a sublease if the term of the sublease and any extensions end more than [ * ] prior to the end of the sublease term. 12. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION 12.1 Notice of Damage. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing immediately upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises of which it becomes aware. Subject to Sections 12.2 and 12.3, if the Premises or Building is damaged by fire or other casualty, then unless this Lease is terminated as 18


 
19/42 hereinafter provided, this Lease shall remain in effect and Landlord shall diligently proceed to repair the damage to the Building to the condition in which existed immediately prior to such damage, to the extent that insurance plus deductibles (or if Landlord fails to maintain the insurance required by this Lease then to the extent that insurance plus deductibles would have been available had Landlord carried the required insurance), and subject to delays which may arise by reason of adjustment of loss under insurance policies and delays beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Tenant shall repair all damage to Tenant’s property, including Tenant’s fixtures and equipment. 12.2 Decision. If (i) the insurance proceeds received by Landlord are not sufficient to pay the entire cost of repair, or if the cause of the damage is not covered by the insurance required to be carried by Landlord; or (ii) if Landlord considers the damage to be significant, then Landlord may elect either to (1) diligently repair the damage to the Building, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, or (2) terminate this Lease. Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s decision within [ * ] after notice of the occurrence of the damage. If Landlord elects to repair the damage, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of the deductible under Landlord’s insurance policy and, if the damage was due to an act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees, Tenant shall also pay the difference between the actual cost of repair and any insurance proceeds. If the Lease does not terminate as a result of the damage but the damage materially interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises, then the Base Rent shall be reduced pro rata, to reflect the portion of the Premises not useable by Tenant. 12.3 End of Term. If the damage to the Premises occurs during the [ * ] of the Term, and if the damage requires more than [ * ] to repair, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date the damage occurred regardless of the sufficiency of any insurance proceeds. The party electing to terminate this Lease shall give written notification to the other party of such election within [ * ] after the parties have mutually agreed upon the time period required for such repairs. 13. CONDEMNATION If the Project is condemned or taken for any public or quasi-public purpose, including any purchase in lieu of condemnation, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of taking of possession for such use or purpose. If a portion of the Project is condemned or taken, (whether or not the Premises be affected), Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease as of the date of the taking of possession. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease, and if the taking results in a reduction in the square footage of the Premises, then the Base Rent shall be reduced pro-rata, and Landlord shall perform any necessary repairs to restore the Building to a complete unit. If the condemnation causes the Premises to be unusable for Tenant’s Permitted Use, in Tenant’s commercially reasonable opinion, Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving notice within ten days after notice from Landlord or the intended extent of the taking, such termination to be effective as of the date of the taking. Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award in any condemnation proceeding, including any award for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease, and shall have the exclusive authority to settle the condemnation proceeding, and the exclusive discretion to grant “possession and use” to the condemning authority, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or against the proceeds of the condemnation. 14. INSOLVENCY AND DEFAULT 14.1 Defaults. Tenant shall be in default under this Lease if (a) Tenant fails to pay any Rent when due, or (b) Tenant fails to perform any other obligation under this Lease, or (c) a Financial Distress Default (Section 14.9) occurs. Subject to the late charges and interest due under Section 14.8, Landlord agrees that it shall not invoke its remedies under this Section 14 if Tenant cures a Curable Default (defined below) within the applicable cure period (set forth in Section 14.2 below). If a Curable Default occurs and Tenant fails to cure the default within the applicable cure period or if any other default occurs, Landlord may, immediately or at any time thereafter, and without preventing Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy, elect to terminate this Lease by notice, by lawful entry or otherwise, 19


 
20/42 whereupon Landlord shall be entitled to recover possession of the Premises from Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant. Termination of this Lease and any repossession shall be without prejudice to any remedies Landlord has for arrears of Rent or for a prior breach of any of the provisions of this Lease. For clarification, the parties agree that any true-up of Operating Expenses that occurs within the time periods set forth in Section 5.1 although applicable to prior rent periods, shall not be considered a failure to pay Rent pursuant to this Section 14.1 so long as any true-up payments are made when due. In case of termination, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all costs and expenses including the amounts due under Sections 14.3 and 14.4. Each right and remedy provided Landlord in this Lease is cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy provided in this Lease, or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. The exercise by Landlord or any one or more such rights or remedies will not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord of any or all other rights or remedies. 14.2 Cure Periods. Monetary Default. Tenant fails to pay any Rent when due, it is a Cureable Default and the cure period shall be [ * ] after notice from Landlord. Financial Distress Default (See Section 14.9). An Involuntary Financial Distress Default is a Curable Default and the cure periods are set forth in Section 14.9. A Voluntary Financial Distress Default is not a Curable Default. Insurance Default. If Tenant fails to maintain the required insurance, it is a Curable Default and the cure period is [ * ] after the date the failure occurs. Estoppel or Subordination Default. If Tenant fails to provide the requested estoppel certificate (Section 15.3) or subordination agreement (Section 15.1) within the time period provided, it shall be a Curable Default and the cure period shall be [ * ] from the second request. Hazardous Materials. If Tenant breaches the provisions of Section 17 (Hazardous Materials) it shall be a Curable Default and the cure period shall be 5 business days after notice from Landlord. Other Defaults. Any non-monetary breaches of this Lease not listed above in this Section 14.2 shall be considered Curable Defaults and the cure period shall be [ * ] after notice from Landlord; provided that if the default can not reasonably be cured within that time period, Tenant shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure the default so long as Tenant commences the cure within the [ * ] period and diligently pursues the cure to completion. 14.3 Expense Recovery. Items of expense for which Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for in connection with a termination of this Lease for default shall include: (i) all collection costs and all costs of obtaining Tenant’s compliance with this Lease, including attorneys’ fees and enforcement costs; (ii) the unamortized portion of (a) leasing commissions paid in connection with this Lease, and (b) costs incurred by Landlord to improve the Premises (amortized on a straight line basis over the initial Term with interest at the Prime Rate plus [ * ]% per annum); and (iii) all Landlord’s other costs proximately caused by the termination. The above sums shall be due and payable immediately upon notice from Landlord without regard to whether the cost or expense was incurred before or after the termination of this Lease. If proceedings are brought under the Bankruptcy Code, including proceedings brought by Landlord, which relate in any way to this Lease (in any of such cases a “Proceeding”), Landlord shall be reimbursed for all costs incurred in connection with the Proceedings. 20


 
21/42 14.4 Damages. Notwithstanding termination of this Lease and reentry by Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant: (a) Any unpaid Rent which had been earned by Landlord prior to the time of termination with interest at the Default Rate (Section 14.8); plus (b) The amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of an award exceeds the amount of loss of Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, with interest at the Default Rate; plus (c) The worth at the time of an award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term of this Lease (as extended, if at all, prior to termination) exceeds the amount of such loss of Rent and Additional Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided (including interest at the Default Rate from the date of the award until paid), discounted at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, or successor Federal Reserve Bank, for a period consistent with the then remaining lease term, on the date of termination; plus (d) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the damage proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including amounts due and payable pursuant to Section 14.3. 14.5 Non-Termination of Lease. No act of Landlord other than a written declaration of termination of Lease shall serve to terminate this Lease. If there is a default hereunder and Tenant fails to cure it within any applicable cure period, Landlord shall have the right to reenter the Premises and relet the Premises for Tenant’s account, without terminating the Lease. If Landlord reenters the Premises and does not elect to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord the loss of Rent by a payment at the end of each month during the remaining Term representing the difference between the Rent which would have been paid in accordance with this Lease and the rent collected from the Premises by Landlord for such month. Separate actions may be maintained by Landlord against Tenant from time to time to recover any damages which, at the commencement of any action, are then due and payable to Landlord under this Section 14 without waiting until the end of the Term of this Lease. 14.6 Reletting. If Tenant’s right of possession has been terminated (with or without termination of this Lease), Landlord may at any time, and from time to time, relet the Premises in whole or in part either in its own name or as agent of Tenant for any period equal to or greater or less than the remainder of the then-current Term. All rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied first to the payment of any amounts other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting and of alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as it becomes due hereunder. Upon a reletting of the Premises, Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant any sums received by Landlord in excess of amounts payable in accordance with this Lease. 14.7 Right of Landlord to Cure Defaults. If Tenant defaults under this Lease, Landlord may cure the default, at Tenant’s expense, (i) immediately and without notice if Landlord believes the default creates a risk of damage to persons, property or the interests of others, or (ii) in any other case only upon Tenant’s failure to remedy such default within the applicable cure period, if any. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any costs of the cure with interest at the Default Rate. 14.8 Unpaid Sums and Service Charge. Any amounts owing from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease shall bear interest at [ * ]% per annum (the “Default Rate”), calculated from the date due or expended until the date of payment. In addition, if any payment of Rent is not paid within [ * ] of its due date, Tenant shall pay a late charge equal to the greater of $[ * ] or [ * ]% of the overdue amount as liquidated damages for Landlord’s extra expense and handling of such past due account. 21


 
22/42 14.9 Financial Distress. 14.9.1 Definition. Each of the following shall be an “Financial Distress Default” under this Lease: (a) the making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt, or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy or (b) the appointment of a trustee or a receiver to take possession of all or any part of Tenant’s assets. A Financial Distress Default shall be considered “Voluntary” if the action initiating the default was made by Tenant or a person or entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Tenant and otherwise shall be considered “Involuntary”. For example, a bankruptcy filing initiated by Tenant is a Voluntary Financial Distress Default and a bankruptcy filing by creditors of Tenant shall be considered an Involuntary Financial Distress Default. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord upon the occurrence of any Financial Distress Default. Tenant shall have [ * ] to cure an Involuntary Financial Distress Default under clause (a) above. Tenant shall have [ * ] to cure an Involuntary Financial Distress default under clauses (b) and (c) above. If a Voluntary Financial Distress Default occurs or if an Involuntary Financial Distress Default is not cured within the above cure periods, then the provisions of Section 14.9.2 shall apply. 14.9.2 Filing of Petition. If a petition (“Petition”) is filed by or against Tenant (as either debtor or debtor-in-possession) under Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and same is not dismissed within [ * ] thereafter: (a) Adequate protection for Tenant’s Lease obligations accruing after filing of the Petition shall be provided within [ * ] after filing in the form of a deposit equal to two months Base Rent and Additional Rent (in addition to the Security Deposit), to be held by the court or an escrow agent approved by Landlord and the court. (b) All amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease represent reasonable compensation for the occupancy of the Premises by Tenant. (c) Tenant or Trustee shall give Landlord at least [ * ] written notice of any abandonment of the Premises or proceeding relating to administrative claims. If Tenant abandons without notice, Tenant or Trustee shall stipulate to entry of an order for relief from stay to permit Landlord to reenter and relet the Premises. (d) For purposes of Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, prompt cure of defaults shall mean cure within 30 days after assumption and shall include cure of any defaults under any other agreements between Landlord and Tenant. (e) For the purposes of Section 365(b)(1) the Bankruptcy Code, adequate assurance of future performance of this Lease by Tenant, Trustee or any proposed assignee of the Lease will require that Tenant, Trustee or the proposed assignee deposit two months Base Rent and Additional Rent payments into an escrow fund (to be held by the court or an escrow agent approved by Landlord and the court) as security for such future performance. In addition, if the Lease is to be assigned, adequate assurance of future performance by the proposed assignee shall require that the assignee have a tangible net worth equal to eight times the annual Rent due hereunder or that such assignee’s performance be unconditionally guaranteed by a person or entity that has a tangible net worth not less than the above amount. (f) If Tenant or Trustee intends to assume and/or assign the Lease, Tenant or Trustee shall provide Landlord with [ * ] written notice of the proposed action, separate from and in 22


 
23/42 addition to any notice provided to all creditors. Notice of a proposed assignment and assumption shall state the assurance of prompt cure, compensation for loss and assurance of future performance to be provided to Landlord. Notice of a proposed sale shall state: (i) the name, address, and federal tax ID numbers of the proposed assignee; (ii) the terms and conditions of the proposed assignment, and (iii) the proposed assurance of future performance. 14.10 Default by Landlord. Subject to Section 15.4, Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord (or such ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary) fails to cure such non-performance within [ * ] after receipt of Tenant’s written notice (or such longer period of time as is reasonably necessary to cure the default so long as Landlord is diligently prosecuting such cure) and such notice shall also be sent in accordance with Section 15.4. If Landlord fails to cure the default within the cure period, Tenant shall have all rights and remedies available at law and in equity other than the right to terminate the Lease or any offsets against Rent. 15. PROTECTION OF LENDERS 15.1 Subordination. Provided that Tenant is provided with a non-disturbance agreement consistent with the third sentence below, this Lease shall be subordinate to any financing now existing or hereafter placed upon the Project by Landlord, and to any and all advances to be made thereunder and to interest thereon and all modifications thereof (each, a “Mortgage”). This provision shall be self-operative. Tenant shall execute and deliver any subordination agreement required by the holder of a Mortgage, but only if any such subordination agreement provides that so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period, Tenant shall have the continued enjoyment of the Premises free from any disturbance or interruption by any holder of a Mortgage or any purchaser at a foreclosure or private sale of the Project. 15.2 Attornment. If Landlord’s interest in the Premises is acquired by any ground lessor, holder of a Mortgage, or purchaser at a foreclosure sale, or transferee thereof, Tenant shall attorn to the transferee of or successor to Landlord’s interest in the Premises and recognize such transferee or successor as Landlord under this Lease. Tenant waives the protection of any statute or rule of law which gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate this Lease or surrender possession of the Premises upon the transfer of Landlord’s interest. 15.3 Estoppel Certificates. Tenant shall, within [ * ] of demand, execute and deliver to Landlord a written statement certifying: (i) the commencement and the expiration date of the Term; (ii) the amount of Base Rent and the date to which it has been paid; (iii) that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned or amended in any way (or specifying the date and terms of each agreement so affecting this Lease) and that no part of the Premises has been sublet (or to the extent such is not the case, a copy of any sublease); (iv) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease (or if such is not the case, the extent and nature of such default); (v) on the date of such certification, there are no existing defenses or claims which Tenant has against Landlord (or if such is not the case, the extent and nature of such defenses or claims); (vi) the amount of the Security Deposit held by Landlord; and (vii) any other information a mortgagee or purchaser may reasonably request. It is intended that any such statement shall be binding upon Tenant and may be relied upon by a prospective purchaser or mortgagee. If Tenant fails to provide the requested estoppel within [ * ] after receipt of a second request, in addition the provisions of Section 14: (a) Tenant shall be deemed to have given a certificate as above provided, without modification, and shall be conclusively deemed to have admitted the accuracy of any information supplied by Landlord to a prospective purchaser or mortgagee, and (b) Landlord may impose a fee of $[ * ] per day for each day of delay in providing the statement by Tenant after the 5 day period. The estoppel certificate shall run to the benefit of all those Landlord specifies as addressees. 15.4 Notice. Tenant shall give written notice of any failure of Landlord to perform any of its obligations under this Lease to Landlord and to any ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary under any 23


 
24/42 deed of trust encumbering the Project whose name and address has been furnished to Tenant and such parties shall have the right but no obligation to cure the default on Landlord’s behalf. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord (or such ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary) fails to cure such non-performance within [ * ] after receipt of Tenant’s notice, or such longer period as is reasonably necessary for the cure. 16. LIABILITY 16.1 Landlord’s Liability. The liability of Landlord to Tenant shall be limited to the interest of Landlord in the Project (and the proceeds thereof). Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Project (and the proceeds thereof) for the recovery of any judgment against Landlord, and Landlord and its owners shall not be personally liable for any such judgment or deficiency after execution thereon or matters related to this Lease. In addition, if Landlord sells or otherwise transfers the Project to a new owner, provided the assignee assumes the Landlord’s obligations under this Lease arising after the date of the transfer, the transferring Landlord shall not thereafter be named or sought after in any matter related to the Project relating to the time period after the transfer and responsibility for those matters shall automatically transfer to the new owner. 16.2 Tenant’s Business Interruption. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for injury to Tenant’s personal property or its business or any loss of income therefrom, whether such injury or loss results from conditions arising upon the Premises or the Project, or from other sources or places including any interruption of services and utilities or any casualty, condemnation, whether the cause of such injury or loss or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to Landlord or Tenant and including injury of loss to Tenant or Tenant’s property arising from the acts or omissions of other occupants of the Project. 16.3 WCM. If this Lease is signed by Washington Capital Management, Inc. (“WCM”), WCM signs the Lease in a representative capacity as manager of the limited liability company which is Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that WCM has no liability whatsoever under this Lease and Tenant shall have no claims against WCM, its agents or employees in connection with this Lease or the Project. WCM represents and warrants that it is authorized to execute this Lease on behalf of the Landlord. 17. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 17.1 Compliance. Tenant and Tenant’s officers, contractors, subcontractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, guests, invitees or visitors, or any assignee or sublessee or other person for whom Tenant would otherwise be liable (individually, a “Tenant Party” and collectively, “Tenant Parties”) shall comply with all Environmental Laws (as defined below) in connection with Tenant’s or Tenant Parties use, production, storage or disposal of any Hazardous Materials (as defined below) on, under or about the Premises.

To the extent reasonably requested by Landlord, Tenant will provide additional documents or information with respect to its and Tenant Parties’ Hazardous Materials within a reasonable period of time after receipt of a specific written request.

If Landlord approves the plan, then Tenant shall execute or cause the Tenant Party to execute the remediation plan at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (subject to such reimbursement as Tenant may obtain from a Tenant Party). If the remediation plan is not reasonably acceptable to Landlord or if Tenant fails to execute or cause execution of the remediation plan within a reasonable period of time, then, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for the cost to Landlord of performing rectifying work provided that such work is not in excess of or to higher standards than would be mandated by applicable Environmental Laws.

All of Tenant’s obligations and liabilities under this Section shall survive expiration or other termination of this Lease and shall be separately enforceable by Landlord. This indemnification is intended to constitute an indemnity agreement within the meaning of Section 9607(e)(i) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. § 9607(e)(i). Neither the written consent by Landlord to the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Premises, nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all Environmental Laws, shall excuse Tenant from Tenant’s obligation of indemnification pursuant thereto. 17.10 Decontamination. Upon expiration or early termination of this Lease, Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense undertake and complete a thorough wash and decontamination of those portions of the Premises that have or may have been exposed to Hazardous Materials, including but not limited to scrubbing of all surfaces, equipment, cabinets, fixtures and fume hood external surfaces in the Premises, in order to remove all residues of Hazardous Materials (including chemicals and biological material).

At its option, Landlord may once in each year, and more frequently if Landlord has reasonable cause to believe that a violation of Environmental Law or this Section 17 is occurring, monitor Tenant’s and Tenant Parties’ compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section, including without limitation obtaining an environmental assessment of the Premises from a qualified environmental engineering company of Landlord’s selection which has demonstrated industry related experience, the cost of which shall be paid by Landlord unless such assessment shows a material failure by Tenant or Tenant Parties to comply with the requirements of this Section, in which case the cost shall be paid by Tenant. Any such environmental assessment shall be performed at a reasonable time mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant (and coordinated with Tenant Parties). Landlord shall provide a copy of any written assessment to Tenant and, Tenant shall comply (and cause Tenant Parties to comply), at Tenant’s cost and expense (provided that Tenant may seek to have Tenant Parties bear costs so long as the work is done), with any industry-standard recommendations contained in any such environmental assessment that Landlord may reasonably require including without limitation, any recommended precautions which should be taken with respect to Tenant’s or Tenant Parties’ activities on the Premises. 17.12 Landlord’s Notices. Promptly after learning thereof, Landlord shall notify Tenant of any Environmental Condition on the Project or any release of Hazardous Materials within the Project caused by Landlord or any occupant of the Building or Project other than the Tenant. Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant against any and all losses, liabilities, suits, obligations, fines, damages, judgments, penalties, claims, charges, cleanup costs, remedial actions, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and other professional fees and disbursements, but excluding consequential damages such as lost profits) that may be imposed on, incurred or paid by, or asserted against Tenant by reason of, or in connection with any Hazardous Materials in, on or around the Project at the time Tenant takes possession of the Premises, or brought onto the Project by any Landlord Party. All of Landlord’s obligations and liabilities under this Section shall survive expiration or other termination of this Lease and shall be separately enforceable by Tenant. 27


 
28/42 18. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 18.1 Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier, sent by email or facsimile with confirmation of receipt, or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. The contact information for each party is set forth in Section 1 and may be changed by written notice to the other party. All notices shall be effective upon either delivery/receipt, rejection of delivery/receipt, or 3 days after mailing in the manner described above. Tenant hereby appoints as its agent to receive the service of all dispossessory proceedings or proceedings to seize Tenant’s personal property and notices thereunder the person in charge of or occupying the Premises at the time, and, if no person shall be in charge of occupying the same, then such service may be made by attaching the same on the main entrance of the Premises. If Tenant does not provide Landlord with a forwarding address following expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall be relieved of any obligation to forward any funds or items to Tenant. 18.2 Non-Waiver/Accord. Failure of Landlord to insist, in any one or more instances, upon strict performance of any term of this Lease, or to exercise any election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. Landlord shall not be deemed to have waived any provision of this Lease unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord. Tenant specifically acknowledges that where Tenant has received a notice of default (whether Rent or non-rent), no acceptance by Landlord of Rent shall be deemed a waiver of such notice, and, acceptance by Landlord of partial Rent shall be deemed to waive or cure any Rent default. Landlord may, in its discretion, after receipt of partial payment of Rent, refund same and continue any pending action to collect the full amount due, or may modify its demand to the unpaid portion. In either event, the default shall be deemed uncured until the full amount is paid in good funds. Payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent and other charges stipulated herein shall be deemed to be on account of the earliest stipulated Rent or other charges. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any payment shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord’s acceptance of such check or payment shall be without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of the amount due or pursue any other remedy to which it is entitled. 18.3 Brokers.

If any new leases, modifications to this Lease or other agreements are made between Landlord and Tenant for space in the Project, Landlord shall not have any obligation to pay any brokerage or finders fees to persons engaged by Tenant. 18.4 Entire Agreement; Amendment; Severability. This Lease supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements; the provisions of this Lease are intended by Landlord and Tenant as the final expression of their agreement; this Lease constitutes the complete and exclusive statement of its terms and no representations, promises or agreements, oral or otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein shall be of any force or effect. No provisions of this Lease may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by instrument in writing executed by Landlord and Tenant, or their respective successors in interest, concurrently with or subsequent to the date of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor anyone representing Landlord has made statements of any kind whatsoever on which Tenant has relied in entering into this Lease. Tenant has relied solely on its independent investigation and its own business judgment in entering into this Lease. Any provision of this Lease which shall prove to be invalid, void or illegal shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provision hereof and the remaining provisions hereof shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. 28


 
29/42 18.5 Force Majeure. Except as specifically provided otherwise herein, time periods for Landlord’s or Tenant’s performance under any provisions of this Lease (except for the payment of money) shall be extended for periods of time during which the non-performing party’s performance is prevented due to circumstances beyond the party’s control, including strikes, embargoes, governmental regulations, inclement weather and other acts of God, war or other strife and no such delay in Landlord’s performance shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent. 18.6 Intentionally Omitted 18.7 Heirs and Assigns. This Lease binds any party who legally acquires any rights or interest in this Lease from Landlord or Tenant. However, Landlord shall have no obligations to Tenant’s successor unless the rights or interests of Tenant’s successor are acquired in accordance with the terms of this Lease including the restriction on assignment and subletting. If more than one person or entity executes this Lease as Tenant, the liability of each shall be deemed to be joint and several. 18.8 Waiver of Self-Help. Tenant waives any statutory or common law right to self-help, including any right to make repairs to the Premises. 18.9 Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against personal property, furniture, or fixtures placed by Tenant in the Premises or Project. If any taxes for which Tenant is liable are levied or assessed against Landlord or Landlord’s property and Landlord elects to pay the same, or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by inclusion of such personal property, furniture or fixtures and Landlord elects to pay the taxes based on such increase, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within 30 days following request, the part of such taxes for which Tenant is primarily liable hereunder. 18.10 Intentionally Omitted. 18.11 Right to Change Public Spaces. Landlord reserves the right at any time, without thereby creating an actual or constructive eviction or incurring any liability to Tenant, to (a) close temporarily any exterior areas to make repairs or changes or to prevent the acquisition of public rights in such areas, and (b) change the arrangement or location of public areas of the Project not contained within the Premises or any part thereof, including entrances, passageways, parking lots and other public service portions of the Project; provided that Landlord uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use of and access to the Premises and such changes do not materially change the Lobby Area Upgrades or reduce Tenant’s share of parking stalls set forth in Section 2.3. 18.12 Consent. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant hereby waives any claim against Landlord for money damages by reason of any refusal, withholding or delaying by Landlord of any consent, approval or statement of satisfaction, and in such event, Tenant’s only remedies therefore shall be an action for specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment, to enforce any right to such consent. Tenant shall pay Landlord’s out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with any requests by Tenant for consent. 18.13 Financial Statements. The provisions of this Section 18.13 shall apply only during any period that Tenant is not a publicly traded company. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall provide to Landlord copies of Tenant’s most recent financial statements and tax returns (which financial statements may be supplied by reference to the electronic location from which they may be downloaded without charge if so published). Any non-public information gained from such financial statements or inspections furnished to or conducted by or on behalf of Landlord shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed 29


 
30/42 other than to carry out the purposes hereof; provided, however, Landlord shall be permitted to divulge the contents of any such statements in connection with financing arrangements or assignments of Landlord interest in the Premises or in conjunction with any administrative or judicial proceeding in which Landlord is involved and where Landlord is required to divulge such information. 18.14 No Reservation/Counterparts. The submission of this Lease for examination, or for execution by Tenant, does not constitute a reservation or option to Lease the Premises and this Lease becomes effective as a lease only upon execution and delivery thereof by Landlord and Tenant. At Landlord’s election, this Lease may be executed in counterparts and when all counterparts are executed, the counterparts shall constitute a single binding instrument. 18.15 Authority. Tenant represents and warrants that each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant or its constituents is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said entity. Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord any entity resolutions or consents requested by Landlord to evidence such authority. Where Tenant is comprised of more than one person or entity, all covenants and obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be the joint and several covenants and obligations of each person or entity comprising Tenant. Any action permitted or required of Landlord under this Lease may, at Landlord’s election, be performed by Landlord’s property manager on Landlord’s behalf. 18.16 Intentionally Omitted. 18.17 Utility Deregulation. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have sole control over the determination of which utility providers serve the Project, and Landlord shall have no obligation to give access or easement rights or otherwise allow onto the Project any utility providers except those approved by Landlord, in its commercially reasonable discretion. If, for any reason, Landlord permits Tenant to purchase utility services from a provider other than Landlord’s designated company(ies), such provider shall be considered a contractor of Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall allow Landlord to purchase such utility service from Tenant’s provider at Tenant’s rate or at such lower rate as can be negotiated by the aggregation of Landlord’s tenants’ requirements for such utility. 18.18 Clean Air Act. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not made any portion of the Premises or the Building accessible for smoking. If Tenant wishes to make any portion of the Premises accessible to smoking, Tenant shall make all improvements necessary to comply with all applicable governmental regulations. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s indemnity contained in this Lease includes claims based on the presence of tobacco smoke as a result of the activities of Tenant, its employees, agents or guests. 18.19 Choice of Law and Venue. This Lease shall be governed by the law of the state where the Project is located and the parties agree that venue shall lie in King County, Washington. 18.20 Nondisclosure of Lease Terms. Unless Landlord elects otherwise, the terms and conditions of this Lease constitute proprietary information of Landlord that Tenant will keep confidential. Tenant’s disclosure of the terms of this Lease could adversely affect Landlord’s ability to negotiate other leases and/or impair Landlord’s relationship with other tenants. Accordingly, Tenant will not directly or indirectly disclose the terms or conditions of this Lease to any person or entity other than Tenant’s employees, agents, lenders, attorneys or accountants who have a legitimate need to know such information and who also agree to keep the same confidential or pursuant to requirements of a regulatory agency, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, in which case Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to redact confidential portions of the Lease prior to disclosing. 18.21 Regulations. Tenant shall comply with the terms and conditions of any of the following applicable to the Project and any subsequent changes thereto: (a) CC&R’s, REA’s or other covenants 30


 
31/42 recorded against the Project and any design guidelines referenced therein and any amendments thereto provided to Tenant, and (b) any transportation management plan adopted for the Project and all amendments thereto. 18.22 Landlord’s Access. Landlord or its agents may enter the Premises to show the Premises to potential lenders, tenants or other parties, to make repairs, alterations or improvements, to inspect and conduct tests in order to monitor Tenant’s compliance with this Lease and applicable law; or for any other purpose Landlord deems necessary. Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable prior notice of such entry, except in the case of emergency. Landlord may place customary “For Sale” or “For Lease” signs on the on the exterior of the Building and in the outside areas of the Project. 18.23 Quiet Possession. If Tenant pays the Rent and complies with all other terms of this Lease, Tenant may occupy the Premises for the full Term against any person claiming by, through or under Landlord, but not otherwise, subject to the provisions of this Lease. 18.24 Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of litigation between the parties hereto, declaratory or otherwise to enforce this Lease, the non-prevailing party shall pay the costs thereof and attorneys’ fees actually incurred by the prevailing party, in such suit, at trial and on appeal. In addition, if Landlord engages counsel to enforce the terms of this Lease, including for the purpose of preparing a delinquency notice, Tenant shall be required to reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred before the subject default is considered cured. Tenant shall pay Landlord’s attorneys’ fees and other out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with any other requests for Landlord’s consent. 18.25 Interpretation. The captions of sections or subsections of this Lease are to assist the parties in reading this Lease and are not a part of the terms and provisions of this Lease. Whenever required by the context of this Lease, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. The masculine, feminine and neuter genders shall each include the other. In any provision relating to the conduct, acts or omissions of Tenant, the term “Tenant” shall include Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, invitees, successors or others using the Premises with Tenant’s expressed or implied permission. References to “including” shall mean “including without limitation”. 18.26 No Recordation. Tenant shall not record this Lease without prior written consent from Landlord. However, Landlord may require that a “Short Form” memorandum of this Lease executed by both parties be recorded. 18.27 Waiver of Jury Trial. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive all rights to request a jury trial in any proceeding or counterclaim arising out of this Lease or Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises. Tenant agrees that if Landlord commences any summary proceeding for non-payment of Rent or possession of the Premises, Tenant waives all right to interpose any counterclaim in such proceeding. Tenant further waives any right to remove said summary proceeding to any other court or consolidate said summary proceeding with any other action, whether brought before or after the summary proceeding. 18.28 Survival. The obligations of each party applicable to time periods prior to the termination or expiration of this Lease shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease, including Landlord’s right to indemnification and defense from claims arising from matters occurring prior to termination even though the claim is asserted against Landlord after termination, and payment of amounts not finally calculated by the expiration/termination date. 18.29 Holding Over. If Tenant fails to surrender possession of the Premises upon termination or expiration of this Lease, and if Tenant obtains Landlord’s written consent to Tenant’s continued occupancy, then Tenant’s occupancy shall be deemed to be a month to month tenancy, with Base Rent due at a rate one and one half times the Rent payable by Tenant hereunder during the calendar month immediately preceding such termination or expiration (the “Latest Rate”) and Landlord may terminate 31


 
32/42 such month to month tenancy upon 30 days notice to Tenant. If Tenant fails to surrender possession of the Premises upon termination or expiration of this Lease and if Tenant does not obtain Landlord’s written consent to Tenant’s continued occupancy, then Tenant shall be deemed a trespasser and shall be liable to Landlord for all damages sustained by Landlord as a result thereof, together with Base Rate at a rate double the Latest Rate. 18.30 ERISA Contingency. If Exhibit E is attached to this Lease, then this Lease is contingent upon Tenant executing the ERISA Certificate set forth in Exhibit E and taking any other actions requested by Landlord to verify that this Lease is not a prohibited transaction under ERISA. Landlord will rely on the statements by Tenant contained in Exhibit E in agreeing to enter into this Lease. As a result, if Landlord later learns that any of the statements by Tenant on Exhibit E were not correct when made or are no longer correct, then (a) notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.2, it shall be deemed an incurable default by Tenant under the Lease and Landlord may immediately terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant and Landlord shall be entitled to collect the damages described in Section 14, and (b) Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all damages, costs, or liabilities incurred by Landlord in connection with the false statements. 18.31 Intentionally Omitted 18.32 USA Patriot Act and Anti-Terrorism Laws. Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant that neither they nor the officers and directors controlling Landlord and Tenant, nor any person or entity that directly owns a 25% or greater equity interest in it, respectively, are or are acting, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation with whom U.S. persons or entities are restricted from doing business under the regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the United States Treasury Department, including those named on the OFAC’s Specially Designated National and Blocked Person List, or are or are acting directly or indirectly for or on behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation designated in Presidential Executive Order 13224 signed on September 24, 2001 (“Executive Order”) as a person who commits, threatens to commit, or supports terrorism; or are or are acting directly or indirectly for a person, group, entity or nation in violation of the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti- Terrorism Act of 2001 or the regulations or orders promulgated thereunder (the “Money Laundering Act”); and that they are not engaged in this transaction directly or indirectly on behalf of, or facilitating this transaction directly or indirectly on behalf of, any such person, group, entity or nation. Each party agrees during the Term of this Lease to comply with the Executive Order and the Money Laundering Act, and to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other party from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, risks, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from or related to any breach of the foregoing representation and warranty. {Signatures on following page} 32

Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to provide eligible employees of the Company and its Designated Corporations with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock of the Company. The Company intends for the Plan to have two components: a component intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code (the “423 Component”) and a component that is not intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Code (the “Non-423 Component”). The provisions of the 423 Component will be interpreted so as to extend and limit Plan participation in a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. The provisions of the Non-423 Component shall be subject to rules, procedures, or sub-plans adopted by the Administrator from time to time for compliance with local tax, securities, exchange control, privacy and other laws that apply to Offerings under the Plan by Designated Corporations domiciled outside of the United States. Except as specifically set forth in the Plan or provided by action of the Administrator, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component. 2. Definitions. (a) “Administrator” means the Board or its Committee. (b) “Affiliate” means any entity, whether now or hereafter existing, that is directly or indirectly controlled by the Company which does not meet the definition of a Subsidiary below, as determined by the Administrator, and which may participate only in an Offering under the Non-423 Component of the Plan. (c) “Applicable Laws” means the requirements relating to the administration of equity-based awards and the related issuance of Shares under state corporate laws, United States federal and state securities laws, the Code, any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Shares are listed or quoted and the applicable laws of any foreign country or jurisdiction where options are, or will be, granted under the Plan. (d) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company. (e) “Code” means the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Reference to a specific section of the Code or United States Treasury Regulation thereunder will include such section or regulation, any valid regulation or other official applicable


 
2 guidance promulgated under such section, and any comparable provision of any future legislation or regulation amending, supplementing or superseding such section or regulation. (f) “Common Stock” means the Common Stock of the Company. (g) “Company” means Seagen Inc., a Delaware corporation. (h) “Committee” means a committee of one (1) or more members of the Board to whom authority has been delegated by the Board in accordance with Section 14(c). (i) “Compensation” means total cash compensation received by an Employee from the Company or a Designated Corporation. By way of illustration, but not limitation, Compensation includes regular compensation such as salary, wages, overtime, shift differentials, bonuses (other than bonuses offered in connection with, and as an inducement for, the commencement of employment), commissions and incentive compensation, but excludes relocation payments or reimbursements, expense reimbursements, tuition or other reimbursements, automobile allowances, housing allowances, cash payments in lieu of sick or vacation time benefits and income realized as a result of participation in any stock option, stock purchase, or similar plan of the Company or any Designated Corporation. The Administrator shall have discretion to determine the application of this definition to Employees outside the United States. (j) “Continuous Status as an Employee” means the absence of any interruption or termination of service as an Employee. Continuous Status as an Employee shall not be considered interrupted in the case of (i) sick leave; (ii) military leave; (iii) any other leave of absence approved by the Company, provided that such leave is for a period of not more than 90 days, unless reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute, or unless provided otherwise pursuant to Company policy adopted from time to time or required under Applicable Laws; or (iv) in the case of transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company and Designated Corporations. (k) “Contributions” means the amount contributed by a Participant through payroll deductions or other means as may be permitted or required by the Administrator, and other additional payments that the Administrator may permit a Participant to make to fund the exercise of options granted pursuant to the Plan. (l) “Corporate Transaction” means any of the following, unless the Board provides otherwise: (i) an acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation but excluding any merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company), (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, so long as in either (i) or (ii) above, the Company’s stockholders of record immediately prior to such transaction will, immediately after such transaction, hold less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity or (iii) any other event specified by the Board; provided, however, that no Corporate Transaction (or any analogous term) shall be deemed to occur upon announcement or commencement of a tender offer or upon a “potential” takeover or upon shareholder approval of a merger or other transaction, in each case without a requirement that the Corporate Transaction actually occur. (m) “Designated Corporation” means the Company and any present or future Subsidiary or Affiliate that is designated by the Administrator, from time to time in its sole discretion, as


 
3 eligible to participate in the Plan. For purposes of the 423 Component, only the Company and its Subsidiaries may be Designated Corporations, provided, however, that at any given time, a Subsidiary that is a Designated Corporation under the 423 Component will not be a Designated Corporation under the Non-423 Component. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the term “Designated Corporation” shall include any corporation into which a Designated Corporation may be merged or consolidated or to which all or substantially all of its assets may be transferred. (n) “Director” means a member of the Board. (o) “Employee” means each Employee (within the meaning of Section 423(b)(1) of the Code) of a Designated Corporation. For purposes of clarity, the term “Employee” shall not include the following, regardless of any subsequent reclassification as an employee by the Company or a Designated Corporation, any governmental agency, or any court: (i) any independent contractor; (ii) any consultant; (iii) any individual performing services for the Company or a Designated Corporation who has entered into an independent contractor or consultant agreement with the Company or a Designated Corporation; (iv) any individual performing services for the Company or a Designated Corporation under an independent contractor or consultant agreement, a purchase order, a supplier agreement or any other agreement that the Company or a Designated Corporation enters into for services; (v) any individual classified by the Company or a Designated Corporation as contract labor (such as contractors, contract employees, job shoppers), regardless of length of service; (vi) any individual whose base wage or salary is not processed for payment by the payroll department(s) or payroll provider(s) of the Company or a Designated Corporation; and (vii) any leased employee. Further, service solely as a Director, or payment of a fee for such services, shall not cause a Director to be considered an “Employee” for purposes of the Plan. The Administrator shall have exclusive discretion to determine whether an individual is an Employee for purposes of the Plan. (p) “Exchange Act” means the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. (q) “Offering” means an offer under the Plan of an option that may be exercised during an Offering Period as further described in Section 4. Unless otherwise specified by the Administrator, each Offering under the Plan to the Employees of the Company or a Designated Corporation shall be deemed a separate Offering, even if the dates of the applicable Offering Periods of each such Offering are identical, and the provisions of the Plan will separately apply to each Offering. To the extent permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(a)(1), the terms of each Offering need not be identical provided that the terms of the Plan and an Offering together satisfy U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(a)(2) and (a)(3). (r) “Offering Date” means the first business day of each Offering Period of the Plan. (s) “Offering Period” means a period of approximately six (6) months commencing on or about February 1 and August 1 of each year (or at such other time or times as may be determined by the Board of Directors) pursuant to Section 4 below.

4 (w) “Purchase Date” means the last day of each Offering Period of the Plan.

(y) “Securities Act” means the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. (z) “Share” means a share of Common Stock, as adjusted in accordance with Section 19 of the Plan. (aa) “Subsidiary” means a corporation, domestic or foreign, as such term is defined in Section 424(f) of the Code, whether or not such corporation now exists or is hereafter organized or acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary. (bb) “Tax-Related Items” Any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items arising in relation to the Participant’s participation in the Plan. (cc) “Trading Day” means any day on which the exchange(s) or market(s) on which shares of Common Stock are listed, including the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Capital Market, is open for trading. 3. Eligibility (a) Any person who has been an Employee for a continuous period of at least thirty (30) days ending on the Offering Date of a given Offering Period (or such other period of time as may be determined by the Administrator in its discretion) shall be eligible to participate in such Offering Period, subject to any limitations under Section 423 of the Code or adopted by the Administrator pursuant to subsections (b) through (d) hereof. Separate Offerings apply to each Designated Corporation and an Employee is only eligible to participate in the Offering made available to Employees of the Designated Corporation which is the employer of such Employee. (b) An Employee who works for a Designated Corporation and is a citizen or resident of a jurisdiction other than the United States (without regard to whether such individual also is a citizen or resident of the United States or is a resident alien within the meaning of Section 7701(b)(1)(A) of the Code) may be excluded from participation in the Plan or an Offering if the participation of such Employee is prohibited under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction or if complying with the laws of the applicable jurisdiction would cause the Plan or an Offering under the Section 423 Component of the Plan to violate Section 423 of the Code. In the case of an Offering under the Non-423 Component of the Plan, an Employee (or group of Employees) may be excluded from participation in the Plan or an Offering if the Administrator has determined, in its sole discretion, that participation of such Employee(s) is not advisable or practicable for any reason. (c) The Administrator, in its discretion, from time to time may, prior to an Offering Period for all options to be granted in an Offering, determine on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis that the definition of Employee will or will not include an individual if he or she: (a) has not completed at least two (2) years of service since his or her last hire date (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Administrator in its discretion), (b) customarily works not more than twenty (20) hours per week (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Administrator in its discretion), (c) customarily works not more than five (5) months per calendar year (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Administrator in its discretion), (d) is a highly compensated employee within the meaning of Section 414(q) of the Code, or (e) is a highly compensated employee within the meaning of Section 414(q) of the Code with compensation above a certain level or is an officer or subject to the disclosure requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, provided the exclusion is applied with


 
5 respect to each Offering in an identical manner to all highly compensated individuals of the Designated Corporation whose employees are participating in that Offering. (d) Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan (i) if, immediately after the grant, such Employee (or any other person whose stock would be attributed to such Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own capital stock of the Company and/or hold outstanding options to purchase stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company, or (ii) if such option would permit his or her rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans (described in Section 423 of the Code) of the Company and its Subsidiaries to accrue at a rate which exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) of the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 7(b) below) of such stock (determined on the Offering Date of such option) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time. 4. Offering Periods. (a) Offering Periods. The Plan shall be implemented by a series of Offering Periods of approximately six (6) months duration, with new Offering Periods commencing on or about February 1 and August 1 of each year (or at such other time or times as may be determined by the Board ). The Plan shall continue until terminated in accordance with Section 21 hereof. The Board shall have the power to establish additional or alternative sequential or overlapping Offering Periods, a different duration for one or more Offering Periods or different commencement or ending dates for such Offering Periods with respect to future Offerings without shareholder approval, provided, however, that no Offering Period may have a duration exceeding twenty-seven (27) months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Offering Date falls on a day that is not a Trading Day, then such Offering Date shall instead fall on the next subsequent Trading Day. (b) Purchase Dates. The Purchase Date of an Offering Period commencing on February 1 shall be the next July 31 and the Purchase Date of an Offering Period commencing on August 1 shall be the next January 31. The Board shall have the power to change the frequency of Purchase Dates with respect to future purchases without stockholder approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Purchase Date falls on a day that is not a Trading Day, then such Purchase Date shall instead fall on the immediately preceding Trading Day. 5. Participation. (a) An eligible Employee may become a Participant in the Plan by completing the electronic enrollment process designated by the Company (or other such enrollment process as the Company may designated) during the open enrollment period prescribed by the Company. The enrollment process shall require the Participant to specify the whole percentage of the Participant’s Compensation (subject to Section 6 below) to be paid as Contributions pursuant to the Plan. Once an Employee affirmatively enrolls in an Offering Period and authorizes payroll deductions (if contributing via payroll deductions), the Employee automatically shall be enrolled for all subsequent Offering Periods until he or she elects to withdraw from an Offering Period pursuant to Section 11 or terminates his or her participation in the Plan. (b) Payroll deductions, if applicable, shall commence on the first payroll paid following the Offering Date and shall end on the last payroll paid on or prior to the Purchase Date to which the election is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 11.


 
6 6. Method of Payment For Purchase of Shares. (a) This Plan shall be operated as a payroll deduction plan, except to the extent the Administrator determines that Contributions may be made in another form (including payment by check at the end of an Offering Period or, due to local law requirements, in another form with respect to categories of Participants outside the United States). (b) A Participant shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each payday during an Offering Period (or such other date as the Administrator may establish from time to time before an Offering Date) in an amount not less than one percent (1%) and not more than twenty percent (20%) (or such other maximum whole percentage as the Administrator may establish from time to time before an Offering Date) of such Participant’s Compensation on each payday during the Offering Period. All payroll deductions made by a Participant shall be credited to his or her account under the Plan. Once a Participant is participating in the Plan on a payroll deduction basis, he or she may not make any additional payments into such account. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, due to certain payroll deductions and withholdings, a Participant’s Contributions on any payday during an Offering Period may be less than the percentage of Compensation that the Participant elected to have contributed to the Plan on such payday. On each payday during an Offering Period, a Participant’s Contributions shall be deducted from the Participant’s Compensation after deducting any (i) amounts elected to be deferred by the Participant under any qualified cash or deferred arrangement described in Section 401(k) of the Code or other deferred compensation program or arrangement established by the Company or a Designated Corporation, (ii) payments for coverage under any Company or Designated Corporation health insurance plan or other employee benefit plan, (iii) contributions to any Company or Designated Corporation flexible spending account plan, (iv) other pre-tax deductions, (v) other deductions designated by the Company or a Designated Corporation, and (vi) applicable tax withholding. As a result, a Participant may not be able to make Contributions on any payday during an Offering Period at the percentage of Compensation that the Participant elected to have contributed to the Plan on such payday, and in such event, neither the Company nor any Designated Corporation shall have the obligation to make up for any difference between the Participant’s actual Contributions on such payday and the percentage of Compensation that the Participant elected to have contributed to the Plan on such payday. (c) A Participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided in Section 11 or, on one occasion only during an Offering Period may decrease the rate of his or her Contributions with respect to the Offering Period to a rate not lower than one percent (1%), by authorizing a change in the rate of Contributions in the manner designated in the Company’s electronic ESPP interface (or such other enrollment process as the Company may designate from time to time). Any change in the rate of Contributions pursuant to this Section 6(c) shall be effective as soon as administratively possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the date the change is authorized. A Participant may not increase the rate of his or her Contributions with respect to the Offering Period during an Offering Period. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(d), a Participant’s rate of Contributions may be decreased by the Company to 0% at any time during an Offering Period. Contributions shall re-commence at the rate provided in such Participant’s election at the beginning of the first Offering Period, which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 11. In addition, a Participant’s rate of Contributions may be decreased by the Company to 0% at any time during an Offering Period in order to avoid unnecessary Contributions as a result of application of the maximum share limit set forth in Section 7(a), or as a result of the limitations set forth in Section 3(d), in which case


 
7 Contributions shall re-commence at the rate provided in such Participant’s election at the beginning of the next Offering Period, unless terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 11. 7. Grant of Option. (a) Subject to the final sentence of this Section 7(a), on the Offering Date of each Offering Period, each eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an option to purchase on each Purchase Date a number of Shares of the Company’s Common Stock determined by dividing such Employee’s Contributions accumulated prior to such Purchase Date and retained in the Participant’s account as of the Purchase Date by the applicable Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the above, the maximum number of Shares an Employee may purchase during each Offering Period shall be 2,000 Shares (subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 19 below), and provided further that such purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(d) and 13. (b) If the Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or traded on any established market, the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on a given date (the “Fair Market Value”) shall be the closing price of the Common Stock as quoted on such exchange or market (or the exchange or market with the greatest volume of trading in the Common Stock) on the date of determination, as reported in such source as the Board deems reliable. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, if there is no closing sales price for the Common Stock on the date of determination, then the Fair Market Value shall be the closing selling price (or closing bid if no sales were reported) on the last preceding date for which such quotation exists. In the absence of such markets for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value shall be determined by the Board in good faith. 8. Exercise of Option. Unless a Participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 11, his or her option for the purchase of Shares will be exercised automatically on each Purchase Date of an Offering Period, and the maximum number of full Shares subject to the option will be purchased at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated Contributions in his or her account. No fractional Shares shall be issued. The Shares purchased upon exercise of an option hereunder shall be deemed to be transferred to the Participant on the Purchase Date. During his or her lifetime, a Participant’s option to purchase Shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her. 9. Taxes. At the time a Participant’s option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time a Participant disposes of some or all of the Shares acquired under the Plan, the Participant shall make adequate provision for any Tax-Related Items, to the extent applicable. In their sole discretion, the Company or the Designated Corporation employing the Participant may satisfy their obligations to withhold Tax-Related Items by (i) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other compensation, (ii) withholding a sufficient whole number of Shares otherwise issuable following purchase having an aggregate fair market value sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or (iii) withholding from proceeds from the sale of Shares issued upon purchase, either through a voluntary sale or a mandatory sale arranged by the Company. 10. Delivery. As promptly as practicable after each Purchase Date of each Offering Period, the Company shall arrange the delivery to each Participant, as appropriate, of the Shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option. No fractional Shares shall be purchased; any payroll deductions accumulated in a Participant’s account which are not sufficient to purchase a full Share shall be retained in the Participant’s account for the subsequent Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the Participant as provided in Section 11 below. Any other amounts left over in a Participant’s account after a Purchase Date shall be returned to the Participant.


 
8 11. Voluntary Withdrawal; Termination of Employment. (a) A Participant may withdraw all but not less than all the Contributions credited to his or her account under the Plan at any time prior to each Purchase Date by giving notice to the Company through the Company’s electronic ESPP interface (or such other method as the Company may specify) at least ten days prior to the Purchase Date (other by such other date as the Company may specify). All of the Participant’s Contributions credited to his or her account will be paid to him or her promptly after receipt of his or her notice of withdrawal and his or her option for the current period will be automatically terminated, and no further Contributions for the purchase of Shares will be made during the Offering Period. (b) Upon termination of the Participant’s Continuous Status as an Employee prior to the Purchase Date of an Offering Period for any reason, including retirement or death, the Contributions credited to his or her account will be returned to him or her or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 15, and his or her option will be automatically terminated. (c) If a Participant transfers from an Offering under the 423 Component of the Plan to an Offering under the Non-423 Component due to a transfer of the Participant’s employment between Designated Corporations, the exercise of the option will be qualified under the 423 Component only to the extent that such exercise complies with Section 423 of the Code. If a Participant transfers from an Offering under the Non-423 Component of the Plan to an Offering under the 423 Component, the exercise of the right will remain non-qualified under the Non-423 Component. (d) A Participant’s withdrawal from an Offering will not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in a succeeding Offering or in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company. 12. Interest. No interest shall accrue on the Contributions of a Participant in the Plan (except to the extent required under Applicable Laws). 13. Stock. (a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 19, the maximum number of Shares which shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be 2,896,190 Shares. If any option granted under the Plan shall for any reason terminate without having been exercised, the shares of Common Stock not purchased under such option shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. If the Board determines that, on a given Purchase Date, the number of shares with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that were available for sale under the Plan on the Offering Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (ii) the number of shares available for sale under the Plan on such Purchase Date, the Board may in its sole discretion provide (x) that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares of Common Stock available for purchase on such Offering Date or Purchase Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all Participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Purchase Date, and continue all Offering Periods then in effect, or (y) that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares available for purchase on such Offering Date or Purchase Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all Participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Purchase Date, and terminate any or all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Section 21 below. The Company may make pro rata allocation of the Shares available on the Offering Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional Shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company’s stockholders subsequent to such Offering Date.


 
9 (b) The Participant shall have no interest or voting right in Shares covered by his or her option until such option has been exercised. (c) Shares to be delivered to a Participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the Participant. 14. Administration. (a) The Board shall administer the Plan unless and until the Board delegates administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees, as provided in Section 14(c). (b) The Board shall have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan: (i) To determine how and when options to purchase Shares shall be granted and the provisions of each Offering Period (which need not be identical). (ii) To designate from time to time which Subsidiaries and Affiliates of the Company shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. (iii) To construe and interpret the Plan and options, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration. The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective. (iv) To settle all controversies regarding the Plan and options granted under it, including whether Employees shall be granted an option and participate in the 423 Component or the Non-423 Component of the Plan, and which entities shall be Designated Corporations for participation in the 423 Component or the Non-423 Component of the Plan,. (v) To amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time as provided in Section 21. (vi) Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as it deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and to carry out the intent that the Plan be treated as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. (vii) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan, the Board may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures for jurisdictions outside of the United States. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board specifically is authorized to adopt rules, procedures and sub- plans, which, for purposes of the Non-423 Component, may be outside of the scope of Section 423 of the Code, regarding, without limitation, eligibility to participate, the definition of Compensation, the dates and duration of Offering Periods or other periods during which Participants may make Contributions toward the purchase of Shares, the method of determining the Purchase Price and the discount from Fair Market Value at which Shares may be purchased, any minimum or maximum amount of Contributions a Participant may make in an Offering Period or other specified period under the applicable sub-plan or policy, the treatment of options upon a change in control or a change in capitalization of the Company, the handling of Contributions, the making of Contributions to the Plan (including, without limitation, in forms other than payroll deductions), establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold Contributions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, obligations to pay payroll tax, determination of beneficiary designation requirements, withholding procedures, and handling of Share issuances and stock certificates that vary with applicable local requirement.


 
10 (c) The Board, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Laws, may delegate some or all of the administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees. If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board that have been delegated to the Committee, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board shall thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board may retain the authority to concurrently administer the Plan with the Committee and may, at any time, revest in the Board some or all of the powers previously delegated. Whether or not the Board has delegated administration of the Plan to a Committee, the Board shall have the final power to determine all questions of policy and expediency that may arise in the administration of the Plan. (d) All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the Board in good faith shall not be subject to review by any person and shall be final, binding and conclusive on all interested persons. 15. Designation of Beneficiary. (a) A Participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any Shares and cash, if any, from the Participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such Participant’s death subsequent to the end of an Offering Period but prior to delivery to him or her of such Shares and cash. In addition, a Participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the Participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such Participant’s death prior to the Purchase Date of an Offering Period. If a Participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall be required for such designation to be effective. (b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the Participant (and his or her spouse, if any) at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a Participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Participant’s death, the Company shall deliver such Shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such Shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the Participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate. 16. Transferability. Neither Contributions credited to a Participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive Shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or as provided in Section 15) by the Participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds in accordance with Section 11. 17. Use of Funds. All Contributions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose (except to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws), and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such Contributions (except to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws). Proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to options granted under the Plan shall constitute general funds of the Company. 18. Reports. Individual accounts will be maintained for each Participant in the Plan. Statements of account will be given to participating Employees at least annually, which statements will set forth the amounts of Contributions, the per Share Purchase Price, the number of Shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.


 
11 19. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Corporate Transactions. (a) Adjustment. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised and the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but have not yet been placed under option (collectively, the “Reserves”), as well as the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased by a Participant in an Offering Period, the number of shares of Common Stock set forth in Section 13(a) above, and the price per Share of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, liquidating dividend, combination, exchange or reclassification of the Common Stock (including any such change in the number of Shares of Common Stock effected in connection with a change in domicile of the Company), or any other increase or decrease in the number of Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, change in corporate structure or other similar transaction); provided however that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an option. (b) Corporate Transactions. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any Offering Period then in progress will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such action, unless otherwise provided by the Board. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, each option outstanding under the Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for outstanding options, the Offering Period then in progress shall be shortened and a new Purchase Date shall be set (the “New Purchase Date”), as of which date the Offering Period then in progress will terminate. The New Purchase Date shall be on or before the date of consummation of the transaction and the Board shall notify each Participant in writing, at least ten (10) days prior to the New Purchase Date, that the Purchase Date for his or her option has been changed to the New Purchase Date and that his or her option will be exercised automatically on the New Purchase Date, unless prior to such date he or she has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 11. For purposes of this Section 19, an option granted under the Plan shall be deemed to be assumed, without limitation, if, at the time of issuance of the stock or other consideration upon a Corporate Transaction, each holder of an option under the Plan would be entitled to receive upon exercise of the option the same number and kind of shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities as such holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the holder had been, immediately prior to the transaction, the holder of the number of Shares of Common Stock covered by the option at such time (after giving effect to any adjustments in the number of Shares covered by the option as provided for in this Section 19); provided however that if the consideration received in the transaction is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code), the Board may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the option to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in Fair Market Value to the per Share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the transaction. The Board may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole discretion, also make provision for adjusting the Reserves, as well as the price per Share of Common Stock covered by each outstanding option, in the event that the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations, rights


 
12 offerings or other increases or reductions of Shares of its outstanding Common Stock, and in the event of the Company’s being consolidated with or merged into any other corporation. 20. Tax Qualification. Although the Company may endeavor to (i) qualify an option for favorable tax treatment under the laws of the United States or jurisdictions outside of the United States or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment (e.g., under Section 409A of the Code), the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain favorable or avoid unfavorable tax treatment, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan. The Company shall be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to any potential negative tax impact on Participants under the Plan. 21. Amendment or Termination. (a) The Board may at any time and for any reason terminate or amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 19, no such termination of the Plan may affect options previously granted, provided that the Plan or an Offering Period may be terminated by the Board on a Purchase Date or by the Board’s setting a new Purchase Date with respect to an Offering Period then in progress if the Board determines that termination of the Plan and/or the Offering Period is in the best interests of the Company and the stockholders. Except as provided in Section 19 and in this Section 21, no amendment to the Plan shall make any change in any option previously granted which adversely affects the rights of any Participant. In addition, to the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, or under Section 423 of the Code with respect to the 423 Component (or any successor rule or provision or any applicable law or regulation), the Company shall obtain stockholder approval in such a manner and to such a degree as so required. (b) Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any Participant rights may be considered to have been adversely affected, the Administrator shall be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a Participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each Participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the Participant’s Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion advisable which are consistent with the Plan. 22. Notices. All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof. 23. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Shares, the Company will not be required to deliver any Shares issuable upon exercise of an option under the Plan prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of any governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. The Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with any state or foreign securities commission, or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares. If, pursuant to this Section 23, the Administrator determines that the Shares will not be issued to any Participant, any Contributions credited to such Participant’s account will be promptly refunded, without interest, to the Participant, without any liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.


 
13 As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by Applicable Laws. 24. Effective Date. The Plan originally became effective on May 20, 2011. This amendment and restatement of the Plan is effective March 12, 2021. 25. Miscellaneous Provisions. (a) A Participant shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, Shares subject to options unless and until the Participant’s Shares acquired upon exercise of options under the Plan are recorded in the books of the Company (or its transfer agent). (b) The Plan does not constitute an employment contract. Nothing in the Plan shall in any way alter the at will nature of an Employee’s employment or be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on the part of any Employee to continue in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, or on the part of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate to continue the employment of an Employee. (c) The provisions of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington without resort to that state’s conflicts of laws rules.


 
Exhibit 10.4 SEAGEN INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED 2007 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated %%OPTION_DATE,'MM/DD/YYYY'%-% (“Grant Date”) between Seagen Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and %%FIRST_NAME%-% %%MIDDLE_NAME%-% %%LAST_NAME%-% (“Optionee”), is entered into as follows: WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the Company has established the Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”); and WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company or its delegates (the “Committee”) has determined that Optionee shall be granted an option under the Plan as hereinafter set forth; The parties hereby agree that the Company grants, effective as of the Grant Date, Optionee an Incentive Stock Option (this “Option”) to purchase %%TOTAL_SHARES_GRANTED,'999,999,999'%-% shares of its $0.001 par value Common Stock (the “Shares”) upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 1. Plan Award. This Option is granted under and pursuant to the Plan and is subject to each and all of the provisions thereof. If this Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option, it is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to the extent this Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Applicable Laws, then it is intended to be and will be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option. Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Shares subject to this Option (and all other Incentive Stock Options granted to Optionee by the Company or any Subsidiary, including under other plans of the Company or any Subsidiary) that first become exercisable in any calendar year have an aggregate fair market value (determined for each Share as of the date of grant of the option covering such Share) in excess of $100,000, this Option shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option, in accordance with Section 9(b) of the Plan. 2. Exercise Price. The exercise price applicable to this Option (meaning, the price Optionee must pay in order to purchase any Shares hereunder) shall be %%OPTION_PRICE,'$999,999,999.99'%-% per Share. 3. Vesting and Exercise of Option. Subject to Optionee’s not experiencing a Termination of Employment during the following vesting period, Optionee shall vest in and earn the right to exercise this Option as follows: One-fourth (1/4th) of the total number of Shares subject to the Option shall vest on the first anniversary of the earlier of the Grant Date or the Vesting Commencement Date, if any, and one thirty-sixth (1/36th) of the remaining Shares subject to the


 
2 3-8-2021 Option shall vest each month thereafter until all Shares are fully vested. This Option may be exercised in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of Optionee's Termination of Employment as a result of Optionee’s death or Disability, the vesting and exercisability of this Option shall accelerate such that this Option shall become vested and exercisable as to an additional twelve (12) months, effective as of the date of such Termination of Employment, to the extent that this Option is outstanding on such date. 4. Expiration. This Option will expire ten (10) years from the Grant Date, unless sooner terminated or canceled in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. This means that (subject to the continuing service requirement set forth in Section 3 above and subject to earlier termination upon certain other events as set forth in the Plan) this Option must be exercised, if at all, on or before %%EXPIRE_DATE_PERIOD1,'MM/DD/YYYY'%-% (the “Expiration Date”). If this Option expires on a stock exchange holiday or weekend day, this Option will expire on the last trading day prior to the holiday or weekend. Optionee shall be solely responsible for exercising this Option, if at all, prior to its Expiration Date. The Company shall have no obligation to notify Optionee of this Option’s expiration. 5. Exercise Mechanics. This Option may be exercised by delivering to the Stock Plan Administrator at the Company’s head office a written or electronic notice stating the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised or by any other method the Committee has approved. The notice must be accompanied by the payment of the full Option exercise price of such Shares. Exercise shall not be deemed to have occurred unless and until Optionee has delivered to the Company (or its authorized representative) an approved notice of exercise, full payment of the exercise price for the Shares being exercised and payment of any applicable withholding taxes in accordance with Section 8 below. Payment of the Option exercise price may be in cash (including check or wire transfer); through an approved cashless-brokered exercise program, with shares of the Company's Common Stock (subject to the Company’s discretion to withhold approval for such payment method at any time); to the extent this Option is a Nonstatutory Stock Option, through a cashless “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of Shares issued upon exercise by the largest whole number of Shares having an aggregate fair market value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price, provided the Company shall accept a cash or other payment from Optionee to the extent of any remaining balance of the exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued; or a combination thereof to the extent permissible under Applicable Law; provided, however, that any permitted method of payment shall be in strict compliance with all procedural rules established by the Committee. 6. Termination of Employment. All rights of Optionee in this Option, to the extent that it has not previously become vested and been exercised, shall terminate upon Optionee’s Termination of Employment except as set forth in this Section 6. The portion of the Option that relates to any Shares that were unvested and unexercisable as of the date of Optionee’s Termination of Employment shall terminate and expire effective immediately upon such date. With respect to the vested and exercisable portion of the Option, and subject to the final sentence of this Section 6:


 
3 3-8-2021 (i) In the event of Termination of Employment other than as a result of Optionee's death, Disability or Retirement (as defined below), Optionee shall have three months from the date of such Termination of Employment to exercise the Option as to the Shares subject to the Option that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Termination of Employment; provided, however, that (A) if during any part of such three month period, the Option is not exercisable because the issuance of the Shares would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, the Option shall not expire until the Option shall have been exercisable for an aggregate of three months after the date of Termination of Employment (but in no event may the Option be exercised more than one year after the date of Termination of Employment), and (B) if on the date of such Termination of Employment, the Shares issued upon exercise of the Option may not be sold because Optionee has material nonpublic information regarding the Company or is otherwise subject to a trading blackout period under the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, the Option shall not expire until the five month period following the date of Termination of Employment has elapsed; (ii) In the event of Termination of Employment as a result of Optionee’s Disability, Optionee shall have 12 months from the date of such Termination of Employment to exercise the Option as to the Shares subject to the Option that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Termination of Employment; (iii) In the event of Termination of Employment as a result of Optionee’s death or in the event of Optionee’s death within 30 days following Optionee’s Termination of Employment, Optionee’s estate, any person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, or any person designated to exercise the Option upon Optionee’s death shall have 12 months following Optionee’s death to exercise the Option as to the Shares subject to the Option that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Optionee’s death; and (iv) In the event of Termination of Employment as a result of Optionee’s Retirement (as defined below), Optionee shall have 12 months from the date of such Termination of Employment to exercise the Option as to the Shares subject to the Option that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Termination of Employment; provided, however, that if Optionee exercises the Option more than three months after the termination of his or her employment relationship (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code), the Option may not qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. “Retirement” means Optionee’s voluntary Termination of Employment, other than as a result of Optionee’s death, Disability or Termination of Employment for Cause, after the attainment of age 55, provided that Optionee has been an Employee for at least ten years and the combination of Optionee’s age and his or her length of service as an Employee together is equal to at least 65. For clarity, (1) if Optionee has a Termination of Employment at age 55 and has been an Employee for less than 10 years, such Termination of Employment will not constitute Retirement and (2) if Optionee has a Termination of Employment at age 65 and has been an Employee for less than ten years, such Termination of Employment will not constitute Retirement. Notwithstanding the above, in no event may an Option be exercised, even as to vested and otherwise exercisable Shares, after the Expiration Date set forth in Section 4 above.


 
4 3-8-2021 7. Transferability. This Option is not transferable by Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable only by Optionee during Optionee’s lifetime. 8. Tax Matters. Regardless of any action the Company or Optionee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social security, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by him or her is and remains Optionee’s responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Option, including the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms or the grant or any aspect of this Option to reduce or eliminate Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items. Prior to the exercise of this Option, Optionee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by Optionee from Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer or from proceeds of the sale of Shares. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under Applicable Laws, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to): (1) sell or arrange for the sale of Shares that Optionee acquires to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (2) withhold in Shares to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of Shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount (or such other amount as may be permitted while still avoiding classification of this Option as a liability for financial accounting purposes). In addition, Optionee shall pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of Optionee’s participation in the Plan or Optionee’s purchase of Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described, and if Optionee does not otherwise so pay the Company or the Employer, then the Company or the Employer may withhold amounts from Optionee’s cash compensation to satisfy such withholding obligation. The Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if Optionee fails to comply with Optionee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items (including if Optionee’s cash compensation is not sufficient to satisfy such obligations). Although Optionee is being provided in the Plan prospectus a description of certain tax consequences of transactions related to the Option, Optionee remains responsible for all such tax consequences and the Company shall not be deemed to provide any individual tax advice with respect thereto. 9. Optionee Acknowledgements. By accepting the grant of this Option, Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement. Optionee acknowledges that all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of Employer to terminate Optionee’s


 
5 3-8-2021 employment relationship at any time with or without cause and it is expressly agreed and understood that employment is terminable at the will of either party, insofar as permitted by law. Optionee agrees that this Option is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer prior to the Grant Date, and is outside the scope of Optionee’s employment contract, if any. This Option is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments insofar as permitted by law. In the event that Optionee is not an employee of the Company, this Option grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company. Optionee acknowledges that the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, may increase or decrease in the future, and cannot be predicted with certainty. In consideration of the grant of this Option, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this Option or diminution in value of this Option or Shares purchased through exercise of this Option resulting from Optionee’s Termination of Employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of Applicable Laws). 10. Data Transfer. Optionee explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Optionee’s personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Employer, and the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan. Optionee understands that the Company, its Affiliates, its Subsidiaries and the Employer hold certain personal information about Optionee, including, but not limited to, name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number (or other identification number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Optionee’s favor for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). Optionee understands that the Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Optionee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data, as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom Optionee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option. 11. Notices; Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. Any notices provided for in this Option or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to Optionee, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Optionee at the last address Optionee provided to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to participation in the Plan and this Option by electronic means or to request Optionee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Optionee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company and agrees notice shall be provided


 
6 3-8-2021 upon posting to Optionee’s electronic account held by the Company or another third party designated by the Company. You hereby acknowledge that delivery, execution and acceptance of this or any other such documents by electronic means constitutes valid and effective delivery, execution and acceptance and shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement. 12. Clawback/Recoupment. This Option will be subject to recoupment, rescission, payback, cancelation or other action, in each case, in accordance with (i) any clawback policy adopted by the Company (whether such policy is adopted on or after the date of the Agreement or required under applicable law) and (ii) any such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions set forth in an individual written agreement between the Company and Optionee. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to Optionee’s right to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company. 13. Copies of Plan Materials. Optionee acknowledges that Optionee has received copies of the Plan and the Plan prospectus from the Company and agrees to receive stockholder information, including copies of any annual report, proxy statement and periodic report, from the Company’s website at https://investor.seagen.com/overview/default.aspx (under the “Financial information” tab). Optionee acknowledges that copies of the Plan, Plan prospectus, Plan information and stockholder information are also available upon written or telephonic request to the Stock Plan Administrator. 14. Entire Agreement; Plan Controls. The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, with the exception of any arrangement that would provide for vesting acceleration of this Option upon the terms and conditions set forth therein. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the state of Delaware. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan terms and provisions shall govern. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. Certain other important terms governing this Agreement are contained in the Plan. 15. Severability. If all or any part of this Agreement or the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any portion of this Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section of this Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid. 16. Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by Optionee and by a duly authorized representative of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended solely by the Administrator by a writing which specifically states that it is amending this Agreement, so long as a copy of such amendment is delivered to Optionee, and provided that no such amendment adversely affecting Optionee’s rights hereunder may be made without Optionee’s written consent, except as otherwise provided in the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the


 
7 3-8-2021 Administrator reserves the right to change, by written notice to Optionee, the provisions of this Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the grant as a result of any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling, or judicial decision, provided that any such change shall be applicable only to rights relating to that portion of the Option which is then subject to restrictions as provided herein. Optionee’s electronic acceptance shall signify Optionee’s execution of this Agreement and understanding that this Option is granted and governed under the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Exhibit 10.5 1. 3-8-2021 SEAGEN INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED 2007 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT FOR NON-US PARTICIPANTS THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated %%OPTION_DATE,’MM/DD/YYYY’%-% (“Grant Date”) between Seagen Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and %%FIRST_NAME%-% %%MIDDLE_NAME%-% %%LAST_NAME%-% (“Optionee”), is entered into as follows: WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the Company has established the Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”); and WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company or its delegates (the “Committee”) has determined that Optionee shall be granted an option under the Plan as hereinafter set forth; The parties hereby agree that the Company grants, effective as of the Grant Date, Optionee a Nonstatutory Stock Option (this “Option”) to purchase %%TOTAL_SHARES_GRANTED,’999,999,999’%-% shares of its $0.001 par value Common Stock (the “Shares”) upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including any special terms and conditions for Optionee’s country set forth in the attached appendix (the “Appendix”)). 1. Plan Award. This Option is granted under and pursuant to the Plan and is subject to each and all of the provisions thereof. 2. Exercise Price. The exercise price applicable to this Option (meaning, the price Optionee must pay in order to purchase any Shares hereunder) shall be %%OPTION_PRICE,’$999,999,999.99’%-% per Share. 3. Vesting and Exercise of Option. Subject to Optionee’s not experiencing a Termination of Employment during the following vesting period, Optionee shall vest in and earn the right to exercise this Option as follows: One-fourth (1/4th) of the total number of Shares subject to the Option shall vest on the first anniversary of the earlier of the Grant Date or the Vesting Commencement Date, if any, and one thirty-sixth (1/36th) of the remaining Shares subject to the Option shall vest each month thereafter until all Shares are fully vested. By accepting the grant of this Option, Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the terms set forth in this Section 3 supersede any contrary terms regarding the vesting of this Option set forth in any notice or other communication that Optionee receives from, or that is displayed by, E*TRADE or other third party designated by the Company. This Option may be exercised in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of Optionee’s Termination of Employment as a result of Optionee’s death or Disability, the vesting


 
2. 3-8-2021 and exercisability of this Option shall accelerate such that this Option shall become vested and exercisable as to an additional twelve (12) months, effective as of the date of such Termination of Employment, to the extent that this Option is outstanding on such date. 4. Expiration. This Option will expire ten (10) years from the Grant Date, unless sooner terminated or canceled in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. This means that (subject to the continuing service requirement set forth in Section 3 above and subject to earlier termination upon certain other events as set forth in the Plan) this Option must be exercised, if at all, on or before %%EXPIRE_DATE_PERIOD1,’MM/DD/YYYY’%-% (the “Expiration Date”). If this Option expires on a stock exchange holiday or weekend day, this Option will expire on the last trading day prior to the holiday or weekend. Optionee shall be solely responsible for exercising this Option, if at all, prior to its Expiration Date. The Company shall have no obligation to notify Optionee of this Option’s expiration. 5. Exercise Mechanics. This Option may be exercised by delivering to the Stock Plan Administrator at the Company’s head office a written or electronic notice stating the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised or by any other method the Committee has approved. The notice must be accompanied by the payment of the full Option exercise price of such Shares. Exercise shall not be deemed to have occurred unless and until Optionee has delivered to the Company (or its authorized representative) an approved notice of exercise, full payment of the exercise price for the Shares being exercised and payment of any applicable withholding taxes in accordance with Section 8 below. Payment of the Option exercise price may be in cash (including check or wire transfer); through an approved cashless-brokered exercise program, with shares of the Company’s Common Stock (subject to the Company’s discretion to withhold approval for such payment method at any time); cashless “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of Shares issued upon exercise by the largest whole number of Shares having an aggregate fair market value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price, provided the Company shall accept a cash or other payment from Optionee to the extent of any remaining balance of the exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued or a combination thereof to the extent permissible under Applicable Law; provided, however, that any permitted method of payment shall be in strict compliance with all procedural rules established by the Committee. 6. Termination of Employment. All rights of Optionee in this Option, to the extent that it has not previously become vested and been exercised, shall terminate upon Optionee’s Termination of Employment except as set forth in Section 3 and this Section 6. The portion of the Option that relates to any Shares that were unvested and unexercisable as of the date of Optionee’s Termination of Employment shall terminate and expire effective immediately upon such date. With respect to the vested and exercisable portion of the Option, such portion shall be exercisable as set forth under this Section 6 below; provided, however, that in no event may an Option be exercised, even as to vested and otherwise exercisable Shares, after the Expiration Date set forth in Section 4 above. (i) In the event of Termination of Employment other than as a result of Optionee's death, Disability or Retirement (as defined below), Optionee shall have three months from the date of such Termination of Employment to exercise the Option as to the Shares subject to the Option


 
3. 3-8-2021 that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Termination of Employment; provided, however, that (A) if during any part of such three month period, the Option is not exercisable because the issuance of the Shares would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws in the case of Optionees not subject to U.S. securities laws), the Option shall not expire until the Option shall have been exercisable for an aggregate of three months after the date of Termination of Employment (but in no event may the Option be exercised more than one year after the date of Termination of Employment), and (B) if on the date of such Termination of Employment, the Shares issued upon exercise of the Option may not be sold because Optionee has material nonpublic information regarding the Company or is otherwise subject to a trading blackout period under the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, the Option shall not expire until the five month period following the date of Termination of Employment has elapsed; (ii) In the event of Termination of Employment as a result of Optionee’s Disability, Optionee shall have 12 months from the date of such Termination of Employment to exercise the Option as to the Shares subject to the Option that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Termination of Employment; (iii) In the event of Termination of Employment as a result of Optionee’s death or in the event of Optionee’s death within 30 days following Optionee’s Termination of Employment, Optionee’s estate, any person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, or any person designated to exercise the Option upon Optionee’s death shall have 12 months following Optionee’s death to exercise the Option as to the Shares subject to the Option that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Optionee’s death; and (iv) In the event of Termination of Employment as a result of Optionee’s Retirement (as defined below), Optionee shall have 12 months from the date of such Termination of Employment to exercise the Option as to the Shares subject to the Option that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Termination of Employment. For purposes of the Option, Optionee will be considered to experience a Termination of Employment (regardless of the reason of termination, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment or other laws or rules in the jurisdiction where Optionee is providing services or the terms of Optionee’s employment or service agreement, if any) effective as of the date that Optionee ceases to actively provide services to the Company or any Affiliate and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., employment or service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment or other laws in the jurisdiction where Optionee is employed or providing services or the terms of Optionee’s employment or service agreement, if any). The Administrator shall have exclusive discretion to determine when Optionee is no longer actively employed or providing services for purposes of the Plan (including whether Optionee still may be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence). “Retirement” means Optionee’s voluntary Termination of Employment, other than as a result of Optionee’s death, Disability or Termination of Employment for Cause, after the attainment of age 55, provided that Optionee has been an Employee for at least ten years and the combination of


 
4. 3-8-2021 Optionee’s age and his or her length of service as an Employee together is equal to at least 65. For clarity, (1) if Optionee has a Termination of Employment at age 55 and has been an Employee for less than 10 years, such Termination of Employment will not constitute Retirement and (2) if Optionee has a Termination of Employment at age 65 and has been an Employee for less than ten years, such Termination of Employment will not constitute Retirement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, if the Company receives a legal opinion that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in Optionee’s jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable treatment (i.e., 12 month exercise period from the date of Termination of Employment) that applies to the Option in the event of Optionee’s Retirement being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, the provisions of the Agreement regarding the treatment of the Option in the event of Optionee’s Retirement shall not be applicable to Optionee. 7. Transferability. This Option is not transferable by Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable only by Optionee during Optionee’s lifetime. 8. Tax Obligations. By accepting this Option, Optionee acknowledges that, regardless of any action the Company or Optionee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social security, fringe benefit tax, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Optionee (“Tax- Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Optionee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Option, including the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms or the grant or any aspect of this Option to reduce or eliminate Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items. If Optionee fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any required Tax-Related Items hereunder at the time of the applicable taxable event, Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares. Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Optionee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Optionee authorizes the Company and the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy their withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items, if any, by withholding from Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer or from proceeds of the sale of Shares. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under Applicable Laws, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to): (1) sell or arrange for the sale of Shares that Optionee acquires to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (2) withhold in Shares to meet the withholding obligation for Tax- Related Items. In addition, Optionee shall pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax- Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of Optionee’s participation in the Plan or Optionee’s purchase of Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described, and if Optionee does not otherwise so pay the Company or the Employer, then the Company or the Employer may withhold amounts from Optionee’s cash compensation to satisfy such withholding obligation.


 
5. 3-8-2021 Further, depending on the withholding method, the Company or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory rates or other applicable withholding rates, including the maximum rates applicable in Optionee’s jurisdiction, in which case Optionee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of Shares, for tax purposes, Optionee will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the Option, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. The Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if Optionee fails to comply with Optionee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items (including if Optionee’s cash compensation is not sufficient to satisfy such obligations). 9. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan, or Optionee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. Optionee is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, financial and/or legal advisors regarding the consequences of accepting this Optionee and by accepting the Option, Option has agreed that Optionee has done so or knowingly and voluntarily declined to do so. 10. Nature of Grant.

7. 3-8-2021 amounts due to Optionee pursuant to the exercise of this Option or the subsequent sale of the Shares acquired upon exercise. 11. Data Privacy. To participate in the Plan, Optionee will need to review the information provided in this Section and, where applicable, declare Optionee’s consent to the processing of personal data by the Company and third parties noted below. (a) EEA+ Controller and Representative. If Optionee are based in the European Union (“EU”), the European Economic Area, Switzerland or, if and when the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, the United Kingdom (collectively “EEA+”), Optionee should note that the Company, with its registered address at 21823 30th Drive SE Bothell, Washington 98021, United States of America, is the controller responsible for the processing of Optionee’s personal data in connection with the Agreement and the Plan. The Company’s representative in the EU is Seagen Netherlands B.V., located at Evert van de Beekstraat 1, -140 1118CL Schiphol, Netherlands with office phone: +31 207 99 15 60. (b) Data Collection and Usage. In connection with the administration of the Plan, the Company collects, processes, uses and transfers certain personally-identifiable information about Optionee, which may include Optionee’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, details of all Options or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, settled, vested, unvested or outstanding in Optionee’s favor and additional similar or related data, which the Company receives from Optionee’s or the entity that employs Optionee (“Personal Data”). Specifically, the Company collects, processes and uses Personal Data for the purposes of performing its contractual obligations under this Agreement, implementing, administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan and facilitating compliance with applicable tax and securities law. If Optionee is based in the EEA+, the legal basis, where required, for the processing of Personal Data by the Company is the necessity for the Company to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement, (ii) comply with legal obligations established in the EEA+, and/or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of complying with legal obligations established outside of the EEA+. If Optionee is based outside of the EEA+, the legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data by the Company is Optionee’s consent, as further described below. (c) Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Personal Data to E*TRADE Corporate Financial Services, Inc., and E*TRADE Securities LLC (collectively, “E*TRADE”), an independent service provider which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider, which will act in a similar manner, and share Personal Data with such service provider. The Company’s service provider will open an account for Optionee to receive and trade shares. The processing of Personal Data will take place through both electronic and non-electronic means. Personal Data will only be accessible by those individuals requiring access to it for purposes of implementing, administering and operating the Plan.


 
8. 3-8-2021 (d) International Data Transfers. The Company and E*TRADE are based in the United States. The country where Optionee lives may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. In particular, the United States does not have the same level of protections for personal data as countries in the EEA+. The European Commission requires U.S. companies to protect personal data leaving the EEA+ by implementing safeguards such as the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the EU Commission. If Optionee is based in the EEA+, Personal Data will be transferred from the EEA+ to the Company and onward from the Company to E*TRADE, or if applicable, another service provider, based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Optionee may request a copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses by contacting dataprotection@seagen.com. If Optionee is based in a jurisdiction outside of the EEA+, Personal Data will be transferred from Optionee’s jurisdiction to the Company and onward from the Company to E*TRADE, or if applicable, another service provider, based on Optionee’s consent, as further described in (h) below. (e) Data Retention. The Company will use Personal Data only as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage Optionee’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs Personal Data for any of these purposes, the Company will remove it from its systems. (f) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and Optionee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. Optionee may withdraw his or her consent at any time, with future effect and for any or no reason. If Optionee does not consent, or if Optionee later seeks to withdraw his or her consent, Optionee’s salary from or employment or service relationship with Optionee’s employer will not be affected. The only consequence of denying or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Option to Optionee under the Plan or administer or maintain Optionee’s participation in the Plan. If Optionee withdraws his or her consent, the Company will stop processing Optionee’s Personal Data for the purposes stated in section (b) above unless to the extent necessary to comply with tax or other legal obligations in connection with the Option granted before Optionee withdrew his or her consent. (g) Data Subject Rights. Optionee may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in Optionee’s jurisdiction. Subject to the conditions set out in the applicable law and depending on where Optionee is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access to, or copies of, Personal Data processed by the Company, (ii) rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) deletion of Personal Data, (iv) restrict the processing of Personal Data, (v) object to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, (vi) portability of Personal Data, (vii) lodge complaints with competent authorities in Optionee’s jurisdiction, and/or to (viii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, Optionee can contact dataprotection@seagen.com.


 
9. 3-8-2021 (h) Necessary Disclosure of Personal Data. Optionee understands that providing the Company with Personal Data is necessary for the performance of this Agreement and that Optionee’s refusal to provide Personal Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and would affect Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan. (i) Declaration of Consent (if Optionee is outside the EEA+). By clicking on the “I accept” button on the Acknowledge Grant screen on the stock plan administration site, Optionee is declaring that Optionee unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Optionee’s Personal Data, as described above and in any other grant materials, by and among, as applicable, the entity that employs Optionee, the Company, any Affiliate and any service provider involved in stock plan administration including but not limited to E*TRADE for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan. Optionee understands that Optionee may, at any time, refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Seagen Inc. Director of Privacy Law. If Optionee does not consent or later seek to revoke Optionee’s consent, Optionee’s employment status or service with the entity that employs Optionee will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant this Option or any other equity award to Optionee or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Optionee understands that refusing or withdrawing consent will affect Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Optionee should contact the Company’s stock Plan Administrator. 12. Notices; Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. Any notices provided for in this Option or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to Optionee, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Optionee at the last address Optionee provided to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to participation in the Plan and this Option by electronic means or to request Optionee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Optionee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company and agrees notice shall be provided upon posting to Optionee’s electronic account held by the Company or another third party designated by the Company. You hereby acknowledge that delivery, execution and acceptance of this or any other such documents by electronic means constitutes valid and effective delivery, execution and acceptance and shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement. 13. Clawback/Recoupment. This Option will be subject to recoupment, rescission, payback, cancelation or other action, in each case, in accordance with (i) any clawback policy adopted by the Company (whether such policy is adopted on or after the date of the Agreement or required under applicable law) and (ii) any such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions set forth in an individual written agreement between the Company and Optionee. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to Optionee’s right to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company.


 
10. 3-8-2021 14. Copies of Plan Materials. Optionee acknowledges that Optionee has received copies of the Plan and the Plan prospectus from the Company and agrees to receive stockholder information, including copies of any annual report, proxy statement and periodic report, from the Company’s website at https://investor.seagen.com/overview/default.aspx (under the “Financial information” tab). Optionee acknowledges that copies of the Plan, Plan prospectus, Plan information and stockholder information are also available upon written or telephonic request to the Stock Plan Administrator. 15. Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Optionee acknowledges that, depending on Optionee’s country, Optionee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect Optionee’s ability to acquire or sell the Shares under the Plan during such times as Optionee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in Optionee’s country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. Optionee acknowledges that it is Optionee’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and Optionee is advised to speak to a personal advisor on this matter. 16. Foreign Asset/Account and Tax Reporting, Exchange Controls. Optionee’s country may have certain foreign asset, account and/or tax reporting requirements and exchange controls which may affect Optionee’s ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside Optionee’s country. Optionee understands that Optionee may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in Optionee’s country. Optionee also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of participation in the Plan to Optionee’s country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt. In addition, Optionee may be subject to tax payment and/or reporting obligations in connection with any income realized under the Plan and/or from the sale of Shares. Optionee acknowledges that Optionee is responsible for complying with all such requirements, and that Optionee should consult his or her personal legal and tax advisors, as applicable, to ensure compliance. 17. Waiver. Optionee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of this Agreement. 18. Language. Optionee acknowledges that Optionee is sufficiently proficient in the English language, or have consulted with an advisor who is proficient in English, so as to allow Optionee to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If Optionee has received this Agreement, or any other document related to this Option and/or the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control. Optionee acknowledges that Optionee is sufficiently proficient in English to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 19. Appendix.

The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Optionee’s participation in the Plan, on any Shares purchased under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Optionee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. 21. Governing Law/Venue. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement will be governed by the law of the State of Delaware without regard to that state’s conflicts of laws rules. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought due to Optionee’s participation in the Plan, relating to it, or arising from it, Optionee hereby submits to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action, suit or proceeding, in a New York state court in the County of New York), and no other courts, where this Option is granted and/or to be performed. 22. Severability. If all or any part of this Agreement or the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any portion of this Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid.

In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan terms and provisions shall govern. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. Certain other important terms governing this Agreement are contained in the Plan.    24. Severability.

IMPORTANT ACKNOWLEDGMENT. In accepting this Award, Optionee acknowledges that Optionee has received a copy of the Plan and the Agreement and reviewed the Plan and the Agreement in their entirety and fully understands and accepts all provisions of the Plan and the Agreement. OPTIONEE FURTHER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT OPTIONEE HAS READ AND EXPRESSLY ACCEPTS SECTION 6 (TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT) OF THIS AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED BY THE FOLLOWING APPENDIX PROVISION: Termination of Employment. This provision replaces the fifth paragraph of Section 6 of the Agreement: For purposes of the Option, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or the Plan, Optionee will be deemed to experience a Termination of Employment (and Optionee’s right to vest in the Option will terminate effective as of) the date that is the earlier of: (1) the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee or Consultant; (2) the date on which Optionee receives written notice of termination; or (3) the date Optionee is no longer actively providing services to the Company or any other Affiliate (except where such inactive service results from a leave of absence that is required to be provided to Optionee under Applicable Law), and in each case: (i) regardless of the reason of such cessation or termination; (ii) whether or not such cessation or termination is (or is later found to be) unlawful, or invalid, or in breach of Applicable Laws (including, but not limited to, employment-related statutory and/or common and/or civil law, or other laws or rules in the jurisdiction where Optionee is providing services), or in breach of the terms of Optionee’s employment or service agreement, if any.

The Administrator shall have exclusive discretion to determine when Optionee ceases to be an Employee or Consultant or is no longer actively employed for purposes of Optionee’s participation in the Plan (including whether Optionee may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence that is not required to be provided to Optionee under Applicable Law).


 
16. 3-8-2021 The following provisions apply only if Optionee resides in Quebec: Language Consent. The parties acknowledge that it is their express wish that the Agreement as well as all documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or indirectly hereto, be drawn up in English. Les parties reconnaissent avoir exigé la rédaction en anglais de cette convention («Agreement»), ainsi que cette Annexe, ainsi que de tous documents, avis et procédures judiciaires, exécutés, donnés ou intentés en vertu de, ou liés directement ou indirectement à, la présente convention.

For purposes of such reporting, Shares acquired under the Plan may be reported at their adjusted cost basis. The adjusted cost basis of a share is generally equal to the fair market value of such share at the time of acquisition; however, if Optionee owns other Shares (e.g., acquired under other circumstances or at another time), the adjusted cost basis may have to be averaged with the adjusted cost bases of the other Shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the Agreement to the contrary, in the event of Optionee’s Termination of Employment as a result of Optionee’s death or Disability, the vesting and exercisability of the Option shall accelerate such that the Option shall become vested and exercisable as to an additional twelve (12) months, effective as of the date of such Termination of Employment, to the extent that the Option is outstanding on such date. The portion of the Option that relates to any Shares that were unvested and unexercisable as of the date of Optionee’s Termination of Employment shall terminate and expire effective immediately upon such date. With respect to the vested and exercisable portion of the Option, such portion shall be exercisable as set forth below; provided, however, that in no event may an Option be exercised, even as to vested and otherwise exercisable Shares, after the Expiration Date: (i) In the event of Termination of Employment other than as a result of Optionee’s death, Disability or Retirement (as defined below), Optionee shall have three months from the date of such Termination of Employment to exercise the Option as to the shares subject to the Option that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Termination of Employment; provided, however, that (A) if during any part of such three month period, the Option is not exercisable because the issuance of the shares would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws in the case of Optionees not subject to U.S. securities laws), the Option shall not expire until the Option shall have been exercisable for an aggregate of three months after the date of Termination of Employment (but in no event may the Option be exercised more than one year after the date of Termination of Employment), and (B) if during any part of such three month period, the shares issued upon exercise of the Option may not be sold because Optionee has material nonpublic information regarding the Company or is otherwise subject to a trading blackout period under the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, the Option shall not expire until Optionee shall have had an aggregate of three months after the date of Termination of Employment during which Optionee can sell the Shares without being subject to such restrictions arising under insider trading laws or Company policy (but in no event may the Option be exercised more than one year after the date of Termination of Employment);


 
20. 3-8-2021 (ii) In the event of Termination of Employment as a result of Optionee’s Disability, Optionee shall have 12 months from the date of such Termination of Employment to exercise the Option as to the Shares subject to the Option that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Termination of Employment; (iii) In the event of Termination of Employment as a result of Optionee’s death or in the event of Optionee’s death within 30 days following Optionee’s Termination of Employment, Optionee’s estate, any person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, or any person designated to exercise the Option upon Optionee’s death shall have 12 months following Optionee’s death to exercise the Option as to the Shares subject to the Option that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Optionee’s death; and (iv) In the event of Termination of Employment as a result of Optionee’s Retirement (as defined below), Optionee shall have 12 months from the date of such Termination of Employment to exercise the Option as to the Shares subject to the Option that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding the above, in no event may an Option be exercised, even as to vested and otherwise exercisable Shares, after the Expiration Date 6. Financial aspects of participating in the Plan The grant of stock options has no immediate financial consequences for you. The value of the options is not taken into account when calculating holiday allowances, pension contributions or other statutory consideration calculated on the basis of salary. Shares of stock are financial instruments and investing in stock will always have financial risk. The future value of Company shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.

21. 3-8-2021 SÆRLIG MEDDELELSE TIL MEDARBEJDERE I DANMARK ARBEJDSGIVERERKLÆRING I henhold til § 3, stk. 1, i lov om brug af køberet eller tegningsret m.v. i ansættelsesforhold som ændret 1. januar 2019 ("Aktieoptionsloven") er du berettiget til i en skriftlig erklæring at modtage følgende oplysninger om de aktieoptioner, som du modtager fra Seagen Inc. (“Selskabet”) i henhold til Seagen Inc.'s "Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan" ("Ordningen"). Denne erklæring indeholder de oplysninger, der i henhold til Aktieoptionsloven gælder for Optionsmodtagerens deltagelse i Ordningen, mens de øvrige vilkår og betingelser for Optionsmodtagerens aktieoptioner ("Optioner") er nærmere beskrevet i Ordningen og i Aktieoptionsaftalen ("Aftalen"), som begge er udleveret til dig. Begreber, der står med stort begyndelsesbogstav i denne arbejdsgivererklæring, men som ikke er defineret heri, har den i Ordningen eller Aftalen anførte betydning. I henhold til Aktieoptionslovens § 1 finder loven kun anvendelse for lønmodtagere. Lønmodtagere er defineret i Aktieoptionslovens § 2 som personer, der modtager vederlag for personligt arbejde i tjenesteforhold. Personer, herunder direktører, som ikke anses for at være lønmodtagere i Aktieoptionslovens forstand, er ikke omfattet af Aktieoptionsloven. Hvis du ikke er lønmodtager i Aktieoptionslovens forstand, er Selskabet derfor ikke forpligtet til at udstede en arbejdsgivererklæring til dig, og du vil ikke i juridisk henseende kunne henholde dig til denne arbejdsgivererklæring, da det alene er bestemmelserne i Ordningen, der er gældende. 1. Tildelingstidspunkt Tidspunktet for tildelingen af Optionsmodtagerens Optioner er den dag, hvor Administratoren godkendte tildelingen og besluttede, at den skulle træde i kraft. Tidspunktet fremgår af Aftalen. 2. Vilkår og betingelser for Optionstildelingen Tildelingen af Optioner i henhold til Ordningen sker efter Selskabets eget skøn. Tildeling kan i henhold til Ordningen ske til Medarbejdere, Bestyrelsesmedlemmer og Konsulenter i Selskabet og dets Tilknyttede Selskaber. Administratoren har vide beføjelser til at bestemme, hvem der skal modtage Optioner og på hvilke vilkår. Selskabet kan efter eget skøn vælge fremover ikke at tildele dig nogen Optioner. I henhold til bestemmelserne i Ordningen og Aftalen har du ikke hverken ret til eller krav på fremover at få tildelt Optioner. 3. Udnyttelsesdato eller -periode Optionerne modnes over en periode (som anført i Aftalen), forudsat at Optionsmodtageren fortsat er ansat på modningsdatoen, og at de øvrige betingelser i Ordningen og i Aftalen er opfyldt, dog med forbehold for pkt. 5 nedenfor. 4. Udnyttelseskurs


 
22. 3-8-2021 I udnyttelsesperioden kan Optionerne udnyttes til køb af ordinære aktier i Selskabet til en kurs, der som minimum svarer til markedskursen på tidspunktet for tildelingen af Optionen, som opgjort i henhold til Ordningen. 5. Din retsstilling i forbindelse med fratræden Med forbehold for bestemmelserne nedenfor vedrørende fremskyndet modning og udnyttelse efter ansættelsesforholdets ophør vil modningen ophøre ved Optionsmodtagerens Fratrædelse, og de Optioner, som ikke er modnet og udnyttet på dette tidspunkt, bortfalder uden omkostninger for Selskabet, og du vil ikke længere have ret eller adkomst til disse Optioner eller til de bagvedliggende Aktier. Uanset ovenstående og Aftalens øvrige bestemmelser gælder, at såfremt Optionsmodtageren Fratræder som følge af Optionsmodtagerens død eller Uarbejdsdygtighed, fremskyndes modningen af Optionen, således at Optionen modnes, som om Optionsmodtageren havde været ansat i en periode på yderligere tolv (12) måneder fra Fratrædelsesdatoen, såfremt Optionen endnu ikke er modnet på dette tidspunkt. Den andel af Optionen, der vedrører Aktier, som ikke var modnet på Fratrædelsesdatoen, bortfalder og udløber med øjeblikkelig virkning pr. denne dato. Med hensyn til den modnede andel af Optionen kan denne udnyttes som anført nedenfor. Dog kan en Option aldrig udnyttes efter Udløbsdatoen, heller ikke til køb af Aktier, der er modnet eller i øvrigt kan udnyttes: (i) Ved Fratrædelse af andre grunde end Optionsmodtagerens død, Uarbejdsdygtighed eller Pensionering (som defineret nedenfor) kan Optionsmodtageren inden for en frist på tre måneder fra Fratrædelsesdatoen udnytte Optionen for de aktier, der er modnet pr. Fratrædelsesdatoen. Dog gælder, at (A) hvis Optionen ikke kan udnyttes inden for tremåneders fristen, fordi udstedelse af aktierne vil være i strid med registreringskravene i den amerikanske Securities Act (eller tilsvarende lovgivning for Optionsmodtagere, der ikke er omfattet af den amerikanske værdipapirlovgivning), udløber Optionen først, når den har kunne udnyttes i tre måneder efter Fratrædelsesdatoen (idet Optionen dog i intet tilfælde kan udnyttes senere end et år efter Fratrædelsesdatoen), og (B) hvis aktierne udstedt ved udnyttelse af Optionen ikke må sælges inden for tremåneders fristen, fordi Optionsmodtageren er i besiddelse af væsentlige, ikke-offentliggjorte oplysninger om Selskabet, eller i øvrigt er omfattet af et handelsforbud i henhold til Selskabets Politik for Insiderhandel, udløber Optionen først, når Optionsmodtageren har haft i alt tre måneder efter Fratrædelsesdatoen til at sælge Aktierne uden at være omfattet af sådanne restriktioner i medfør af lovgivningen om insiderhandel eller Selskabets politik (dog kan Optionen i intet tilfælde udnyttes senere end et år efter Fratrædelsesdatoen). (ii) Ved Fratrædelse som følge af Optionsmodtagerens Uarbejdsdygtighed har Optionsmodtageren en frist på 12 måneder efter Fratrædelsesdatoen til at udnytte Optionen for de Aktier, der er modnet pr. Fratrædelsesdatoen.


 
23. 3-8-2021 (iii) Ved Fratrædelse som følge af Optionsmodtagerens død eller i tilfælde af Optionsmodtagerens død inden for 30 dage efter Fratrædelsesdatoen har Optionsmodtagerens bo eller den person, som har arvet retten til at udnytte Optionen, eller den person, som er udpeget til at udnytte Optionen ved Optionsmodtagerens død, en frist på 12 måneder efter dødsfaldet til at udnytte Optionen for de Aktier, der er modnet pr. dødsdatoen, og (iv) Ved Fratrædelse som følge af Optionsmodtagerens Pensionering (som defineret nedenfor) har Optionsmodtageren en frist på 12 måneder efter Fratrædelsesdatoen til at udnytte Optionen for de Aktier, der er modnet pr. Fratrædelsesdatoen. Uanset ovennævnte kan en Option aldrig udnyttes efter Udløbsdatoen, heller ikke til køb af Aktier, der er modnet eller i øvrigt kan udnyttes. 6. Økonomiske aspekter ved deltagelse i Ordningen Tildelingen af aktieoptioner har ingen umiddelbare økonomiske konsekvenser for dig. Værdien af optionerne indgår ikke i beregningen af feriepenge, pensionsbidrag eller andre lovpligtige, vederlagsafhængige ydelser. Aktier er finansielle instrumenter, og investering i aktier vil altid være forbundet med en økonomisk risiko. Den fremtidige værdi af Selskabets aktier kendes ikke og kan ikke forudsiges med sikkerhed. Seagen Inc. 21823 - 30th Drive S.E. Bothell, Washington 98021 U.S.A.

26. 3-8-2021 NORWAY There are no country-specific provisions. PORTUGAL Terms and Conditions Consent to Receive Information in English.

If the Shares are not deposited with a commercial bank or financial intermediary in Portugal, Optionee is responsible for submitting the report to the Banco de Portugal. SPAIN Terms and Conditions Labor Law Acknowledgment. The following provisions supplement Section 10 of the Agreement: By accepting the Option, Optionee agrees to participation in the Plan and acknowledges that Optionee has received a copy of the Plan. Optionee understands and agrees that, except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, Optionee will forfeit any Options in the event of Optionee’s Termination of Employment by reason of, but not limited to, resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente,” individual or collective dismissal on objective grounds, whether adjudged or recognized to be with or without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Service Recipient and under Article 10.3 of the Royal Decree 1382/1985. Optionee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant Options under the Plan to individuals who are employees of the Company or its Affiliates throughout the world.

Further, Optionee understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant since the future value of the Option and Shares is unknown and unpredictable and Optionee may forfeit the Option if Optionee’s Termination of Employment occurs prior to vesting. In addition, Optionee understand that this Award would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, Optionee understands, acknowledge and freely accept that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then this Award shall be null and void.

After such rights or assets are initially reported, the reporting obligation will only apply for subsequent years if the value of any previously-reported rights or assets increases by more than €20,000.

28. 3-8-2021 SWEDEN There are no country-specific provisions. SWITZERLAND Terms and Conditions Grant of the Option. The Option granted to a Swiss Optionee is a voluntary gratuity (Gratifikation) as determined at the Company’s sole discretion which the Optionee has no entitlement to and which does not constitute an entitlement of the Optionee for a grant of further Options in the future. Language Acknowledgement. Optionee confirms having read and understood the documents relating to the Plan, including the Option Agreement and all terms and conditions included therein, which were provided in the English language only. Optionee confirms having sufficient language capabilities to understand these terms and conditions in full.

UNITED KINGDOM Terms and Conditions Tax Obligations. The following provision supplements Section 8 of the Agreement: Without limitation to Section 8 of the Agreement, Optionee agrees that Optionee is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenant to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). Optionee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on Optionee’s behalf.

29. 3-8-2021 amount of any income tax not collected from or paid by Optionee, as it may be considered a loan. In this case, the amount of any income tax not collected within 90 days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Item(s) occurs may constitute an additional benefit to Optionee on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. Optionee will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as appropriate) for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from Optionee by any of the means referred to in the Plan or Section 8 of the Agreement. NIC Joint Election. As a condition of Optionee’s participation in the Plan and the vesting and settlement of the Options or receipt of any benefit in connection with the Options, Optionee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 NICs that may be payable by the Company or the Employer (or any successor to the Company or the Employer) in connection with the Options and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items (the “Employer’s Liability”). Without prejudice to the foregoing, Optionee agrees to enter into the following joint election with the Company, the form of such joint election being formally approved by HMRC (the “Joint Election”), and any other required consent or elections. Optionee further agrees to enter into such other Joint Elections as may be required between Optionee and any successor to the Company and/or the Employer for the purpose of continuing the effectiveness of the Joint Election. Optionee further agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect the Employer’s Liability from Optionee by any of the means set forth in Section 8 of the Agreement. If Optionee does not enter into the Joint Election prior to the vesting of the Options or any other event giving rise to Tax-Related Items, Optionee will not be entitled to vest in the Options and receive Shares (or receive any other benefit in connection with the Options) unless and until Optionee enters into the Joint Election, and no Shares or other benefit will be issued to Optionee under the Plan, without any liability to the Company, the Employer or any other service recipient.

The portion of the Option that relates to any Shares that were unvested and unexercisable as of the date of Optionee's Termination of Employment shall terminate and expire effective immediately upon such date. With respect to the vested and exercisable portion of the Option, and subject to the final sentence of this Section 6: (i) In the event of Termination of Employment other than as a result of Optionee's death or Disability, Optionee shall have three months from the date of such Termination of Employment to exercise the Option as to the Shares subject to the Option that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Termination of Employment; provided, however, that (A) if during any part of such three month period, the Option is not exercisable because the issuance of the Shares would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, the Option shall not expire until the Option shall have been exercisable for an aggregate of three months after the date of Termination of Employment (but in no event may the Option be exercised more than one year


 
6 3-8-2021 after the date of Termination of Employment), and (B) if during any part of such three month period, the Shares issued upon exercise of the Option may not be sold because Optionee has material nonpublic information regarding the Company or is otherwise subject to a trading blackout period under the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, the Option shall not expire until Optionee shall have had an aggregate of three months after the date of Termination of Employment during which Optionee can sell the Shares without being subject to such restrictions arising under insider trading laws or Company policy (but in no event may the Option be exercised more than one year after the date of Termination of Employment); (ii) In the event of Termination of Employment as a result of Optionee's Disability, Optionee shall have 12 months from the date of such Termination of Employment to exercise the Option as to the Shares subject to the Option that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Termination of Employment; and (iii) In the event of Termination of Employment as a result of Optionee’s death or in the event of Optionee’s death within three months following Optionee’s Termination of Employment, Optionee's estate, any person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, or any person designated to exercise the Option upon Optionee's death shall have 12 months following Optionee’s death to exercise the Option as to the Shares subject to the Option that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Optionee’s death. Notwithstanding the above, in no event may an Option be exercised, even as to vested and otherwise exercisable Shares, after the Expiration Date set forth in Section 4 above. 7. Transferability. This Option is not transferable by Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable only by Optionee during Optionee’s lifetime. 8. Tax Matters. Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social security, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax- Related Items legally due by him or her is and remains Optionee's responsibility and that the Company (i) makes no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax- Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Option, including the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and receipt of any dividends; and (ii) does not commit to structure the terms or the grant or any aspect of this Option to reduce or eliminate Optionee's liability for Tax-Related Items. If Optionee is subject to certain withholding requirements, then prior to the exercise of this Option, Optionee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by Optionee from Optionee's wages or other cash compensation paid to Optionee by the Company or from proceeds of the sale of Shares. Alternatively, or in addition, if applicable and permissible under Applicable Laws, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to): (1) sell or arrange for the sale of Shares that Optionee acquires to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (2) withhold in Shares to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of Shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount (or such other amount as may be permitted while still avoiding classification of this Option as a liability for financial accounting purposes). In addition, if applicable, Optionee shall pay the Company


 
7 3-8-2021 any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of Optionee's participation in the Plan or Optionee's purchase of Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described, and if Optionee does not otherwise so pay the Company, then the Company may withhold amounts from Optionee's cash compensation to satisfy such withholding obligation. The Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if Optionee fails to comply with Optionee's obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items (including if Optionee's cash compensation is not sufficient to satisfy such obligations). Although Optionee is being provided in the Plan prospectus a description of certain tax consequences of transactions related to the Option, Optionee remains responsible for all such tax consequences and the Company shall not be deemed to provide any individual tax advice with respect thereto. 9. Optionee Acknowledgements. By accepting the grant of this Option, Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement. Optionee acknowledges that all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. Optionee's participation in the Plan shall not create a right to his or her continued service as a Director. This Option shall not be part of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments insofar as permitted by law. In the event that Optionee is not an employee of the Company, this Option grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company. Optionee acknowledges that the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, may increase or decrease in the future, and cannot be predicted with certainty. In consideration of the grant of this Option, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this Option or diminution in value of this Option or Shares purchased through exercise of this Option resulting from Optionee's Termination of Employment by the Company (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of Applicable Laws). 10. Data Transfer. Optionee explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Optionee's personal data as described in this document by the Company for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing Optionee's participation in the Plan. Optionee understands that the Company holds certain personal information about Optionee, including, but not limited to, name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number (or other identification number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Optionee's favor for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). Optionee understands that the Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in Optionee's country or elsewhere and that the recipient country may have different data privacy laws and protections than Optionee's country. Optionee may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Stock Plan Administrator. Optionee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing Optionee's participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data, as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom Optionee may elect to deposit any Shares


 
8 3-8-2021 acquired upon the exercise of this Option. Optionee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage participation in the Plan. Optionee may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data, require any necessary amendments to the Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting the Stock Plan Administrator in writing. Optionee understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect Optionee's ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusing to consent or withdrawing consent, Optionee may contact the Stock Plan Administrator at the Company. 11. Notices; Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. Any notices provided for in this Option or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to Optionee, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Optionee at the last address Optionee provided to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to participation in the Plan and this Option by electronic means or to request Optionee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Optionee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company and agrees notice shall be provided upon posting to Optionee’s electronic account held by the Company or another third party designated by the Company. You hereby acknowledge that delivery, execution and acceptance of this or any other such documents by electronic means constitutes valid and effective delivery, execution and acceptance and shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement. 12. Copies of Plan Materials. Optionee acknowledges that Optionee has received copies of the Plan and the Plan prospectus from the Company and agrees to receive stockholder information, including copies of any annual report, proxy statement and periodic report, from the Company's website at https://investor.seagen.com/overview/default.aspx (under the “Financial information” tab). Optionee acknowledges that copies of the Plan, Plan prospectus, Plan information and stockholder information are also available upon written or telephonic request to the Stock Plan Administrator. 13. Entire Agreement; Plan Controls. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, with the exception of any arrangement that would provide for vesting acceleration of this Option upon the terms and conditions set forth therein. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the state of Delaware. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan terms and provisions shall govern. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement or the Notice of Stock Option Grant attached to this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. Certain other important terms governing this Agreement are contained in the Plan. 14. Severability. If all or any part of this Agreement or the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any portion of this Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section of this Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall,


 
9 3-8-2021 if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid. 15. Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by Optionee and by a duly authorized representative of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended solely by the Administrator by a writing which specifically states that it is amending this Agreement, so long as a copy of such amendment is delivered to Optionee, and provided that no such amendment adversely affecting Optionee’s rights hereunder may be made without Optionee’s written consent, except as otherwise provided in the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator reserves the right to change, by written notice to Optionee, the provisions of this Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the grant as a result of any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling, or judicial decision, provided that any such change shall be applicable only to rights relating to that portion of the Option which is then subject to restrictions as provided herein.

SEAGEN INC. Clay B. Siegall, Ph.D. President & CEO **PLEASE PRINT AND RETAIN THIS AGREEMENT FOR YOUR RECORDS**


 
1. SEAGEN INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED 2007 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT Pursuant to the Stock Unit Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”) and in consideration of your services, Seagen Inc. (the “Company”) has awarded you a Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) under its Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Your Award is granted to you effective as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Grant Notice for this Award. This Agreement shall be deemed to be agreed to by the Company and you upon your execution of the Stock Unit Grant Notice to which it is attached. Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement shall have the same meanings given to them in the Plan or the Grant Notice, as applicable. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein, in the event of any conflict between the terms in this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. The details of your Award, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice and the Plan, are as follows. 1. GRANT OF THE AWARD. This Award represents the right to be issued on a future date the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that is equal to the number of stock units indicated in the Grant Notice (the “Stock Units”). As of the Date of Grant, the Company will credit to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company for your benefit (the “Account”) the number of Stock Units subject to the Award. This Award was granted in consideration of your services to the Company or an Affiliate. Except as otherwise provided herein, you will not be required to make any payment to the Company (other than past and future services to the Company) with respect to your receipt of the Award, the vesting of the Stock Units or the delivery of the Common Stock to be issued in respect of the Award. 2. VESTING. Subject to the limitations contained herein, your Award will vest, if at all, in accordance with the vesting schedule provided in the Grant Notice, provided that you have not incurred a Termination of Employment before the vesting date set forth in the Grant Notice. Upon your Termination of Employment, the Stock Units credited to the Account that were not vested on the date of such Termination of Employment will be forfeited at no cost to the Company and you will have no further right, title or interest in the Stock Units or the shares of Common Stock to be issued in respect of the Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of your Termination of Employment as a result of your death or Disability, the vesting of your Award shall accelerate such that your Award shall become vested as to an additional twelve (12) months, effective as of the date of such Termination of Employment, to the extent that your Award is outstanding on such date. 3. FORFEITURE OF AWARD NOT TIMELY ACCEPTED. The Award is conditioned upon your electronic acceptance of the Award, as set forth in the Grant Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if you fail to accept the Award prior to the vesting dates set forth in the Grant Notice, the portion of the Award that otherwise would have vested on each such date will be forfeited at no cost to the Company, and you will have no


 
2. further right, title or interest in such portion. In the event of your Termination of Employment as a result of your death or Disability prior to acceptance of the Award, the Company will deem the Award as being accepted. 4. NUMBER OF SHARES. (a) The number of Stock Units subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time for changes in capitalization, as provided in Section 13 of the Plan. (b) Any additional Stock Units that become subject to the Award pursuant to this Section 4 shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Administrator, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other Stock Units covered by your Award. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, no fractional shares or rights for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be created pursuant to this Section 4. The Administrator shall, in its discretion, determine an equivalent benefit for any fractional shares or fractional shares that might be created by the adjustments referred to in this Section 4. 5. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. You may not be issued any shares in respect of your Award unless either (i) the shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Your Award also must comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you will not receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations. You represent and warrant that you (a) have been furnished with a copy of the prospectus for the Plan and all information deemed necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of receipt of the Award, (b) have had the opportunity to ask questions concerning the information received about the Award and the Company, and (c) have been given the opportunity to obtain any information you deem necessary to verify the accuracy of any information obtained concerning the Award and the Company. 6. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Your Award is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws, you agree not to assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any interest in any of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award until the shares are issued to you in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement. After the shares have been issued to you, you are free to assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any interest in such shares provided that any such actions are in compliance with the provisions herein and applicable securities laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, you may designate a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to receive any distribution of Common Stock to which you were entitled at the time of your death pursuant to this Agreement. 7. DATE OF ISSUANCE. (a) If the Award is exempt from application of Section 409A of the Code and any state law of similar effect (collectively “Section 409A”), the Company will deliver to you a


 
3. number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to the number of vested Stock Units subject to your Award, including any additional Stock Units received pursuant to Section 4 above that relate to those vested Stock Units on the applicable vesting date (the “Original Issuance Date”). However, if the Original Issuance Date falls on a date that is not a business day, such delivery date shall instead fall on the next following business day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Original Issuance Date does not occur (1) during an “open window period” applicable to you, as determined by the Company in accordance with the Company’s then-effective policy or policies on trading in Company securities or (2) on a date when you are otherwise permitted to sell shares of Common Stock on the open market; and (ii) the Company elects, prior to the Original Issuance Date, (x) not to satisfy the Withholding Obligation (as defined in Section 11(a) hereof) by withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares otherwise due, on the Original Issuance Date, to you under this Award pursuant to Section 11 hereof, (y) not to permit you to then effect a Sell to Cover under the 10b5-1 Plan (as defined in Section 11(b) of this Agreement), and (z) not to permit you to satisfy the Withholding Obligation in cash, then such shares shall not be delivered on such Original Issuance Date and shall instead be delivered on the first business day of the next occurring open window period applicable to you or the next business day when you are not prohibited from selling shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the open market, as applicable (and regardless of whether there has been a Termination of Employment before such time), but in no event later than the 15th day of the third calendar month of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Stock Units vest. Delivery of the shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7(a) is intended to comply with the requirements for the short-term deferral exemption available under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and shall be construed and administered in such manner. The form of such delivery of the shares (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) shall be determined by the Company. (b) The provisions of this Section 7(b) are intended to apply if the Award is subject to Section 409A because of the terms of a severance arrangement or other agreement between you and the Company, if any, that provide for acceleration of vesting of the Award upon your separation from service (as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code (“Separation from Service”) and such severance benefit does not satisfy the requirements for an exemption from application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) or 1.409A-1(b)(9) (“Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement”). If the Award is subject to and not exempt from application of Section 409A due to application of a Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement, the following provisions in this Section 7(b) shall supersede anything to the contrary in Section 7(a). (i) If the Award vests in the ordinary course before your Termination of Employment in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice, without accelerating vesting under the terms of a Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement, in no event will the shares to be issued in respect of your Award be issued any later than the later of: (A) December 31st of the calendar year that includes the applicable vesting date and (B) the 60th day that follows the applicable vesting date. (ii) If vesting of the Award accelerates under the terms of a Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement in connection with your Separation from Service, and such vesting acceleration provisions were in effect as of the date of grant of the Award and, therefore, are part of the terms of the Award as of the date of grant, then the shares will be earlier issued in respect


 
4. of your Award upon your Separation from Service in accordance with the terms of the Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement, but in no event later than the 60th day that follows the date of your Separation from Service. However, if at the time the shares would otherwise be issued you are subject to the distribution limitations contained in Section 409A applicable to “specified employees,” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such shares shall not be issued before the date that is six months following the date of your Separation from Service, or, if earlier, the date of your death that occurs within such six-month period. (iii) If either (A) vesting of the Award accelerates under the terms of a Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement in connection with your Separation from Service, and such vesting acceleration provisions were not in effect as of the date of grant of the Award and, therefore, are not a part of the terms of the Award on the date of grant, or (B) vesting accelerates pursuant to Section 4(b) or Section 13 of the Plan, then such acceleration of vesting of the Award shall not accelerate the issuance date of the shares (or any substitute property), but the shares (or substitute property) shall instead be issued on the same schedule as set forth in the Grant Notice as if they had vested in the ordinary course before your Termination of Employment, notwithstanding the vesting acceleration of the Award. Such issuance schedule is intended to satisfy the requirements of payment on a specified date or pursuant to a fixed schedule, as provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(a)(4). (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company explicitly reserves the right to earlier issue the shares in respect of any Award to the extent permitted and in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A, including pursuant to any of the exemptions available in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix). (d) The provisions in this Agreement for delivery of the shares in respect of the Award are intended either to comply with the requirements of Section 409A or to provide a basis for exemption from such requirements so that the delivery of the shares will not trigger the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be so interpreted. 8. DIVIDENDS. You shall receive no benefit or adjustment to your Award with respect to any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution that does not result from a change in capitalization as provided in Section 13 of the Plan; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to any shares of Common Stock that are delivered to you in connection with your Award after such shares have been delivered to you. 9. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. The shares issued in respect of your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends determined by the Company. 10. AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. (a) Your service with the Company or an Affiliate is not for any specified term and may be terminated by you or by the Company or an Affiliate at any time, for any reason, with or without cause and with or without notice. Nothing in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the vesting of your Award pursuant to the schedule set forth in Section 2 herein or the issuance of the shares in respect of your Award), the Plan or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in this Agreement or the Plan shall: (i) confer upon you any right to


 
5. continue in the employ of, or affiliation with, the Company or an Affiliate; (ii) constitute any promise or commitment by the Company or an Affiliate regarding the fact or nature of future positions, future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation; (iii) confer any right or benefit under this Agreement or the Plan unless such right or benefit has specifically accrued under the terms of this Agreement or Plan; or (iv) deprive the Company or an Affiliate of the right to terminate you at will and without regard to any future vesting opportunity that you may have. (b) By accepting this Award, you acknowledge and agree that the right to continue vesting in the Award pursuant to the schedule set forth in Section 2 is earned only by continuing as an employee, director or consultant at the will of the Company (not through the act of being hired, being granted this Award or any other award or benefit) and that the Company has the right to reorganize, sell, spin-out or otherwise restructure one or more of its businesses or Affiliates at any time or from time to time, as it deems appropriate (a “reorganization”). You further acknowledge and agree that such a reorganization could result in your Termination of Employment, or the termination of Affiliate status of your employer and the loss of benefits available to you under this Agreement, including but not limited to, the termination of the right to continue vesting in the Award. You further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement, the Plan, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in any of them do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued engagement as an employee or consultant for the term of this Agreement, for any period, or at all, and shall not interfere in any way with your right or the Company’s right to terminate your service at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice. 11. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS. (a) On or before the time you receive a distribution of Common Stock pursuant to your Award, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize any required withholding from the Common Stock issuable to you and/or otherwise agree to make adequate provision in cash for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or any Affiliate which arise in connection with your Award (the “Withholding Obligation”). (b) By accepting this Award, you hereby (i) acknowledge and agree that you have elected a Sell to Cover (as defined in the Grant Notice) to permit you to satisfy the Withholding Obligation and that the Withholding Obligation shall be satisfied pursuant to this Section 11(b) to the fullest extent not otherwise satisfied pursuant to the provisions of Section 11(c) hereof and (ii) further acknowledge and agree to the following provisions: (i) You hereby irrevocably appoint E*TRADE, or such other registered broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority as the Company may select, as your agent (the “Agent”), and you authorize and direct the Agent to: (1) Sell on the open market at the then prevailing market price(s), on your behalf, as soon as practicable on or after the date on which the shares of Common Stock are delivered to you pursuant to Section 7 hereof in connection with the vesting of the Stock


 
6. Units, the number (rounded up to the next whole number) of shares of Common Stock sufficient to generate proceeds to cover (A) the satisfaction of the Withholding Obligation arising from the vesting of those Stock Units and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock to you that is not otherwise satisfied pursuant to Section 11(c) hereof and (B) all applicable fees and commissions due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent with respect thereto; (2) Remit directly to the Company and/or any Affiliate the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Withholding Obligation; (3) Retain the amount required to cover all applicable fees and commissions due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent, relating directly to the sale of the shares of Common Stock referred to in clause (1) above; and (4) Remit any remaining funds to you. (ii) You acknowledge that your election to Sell to Cover and the corresponding authorization and instruction to the Agent set forth in this Section 11(b) to sell Common Stock to satisfy the Withholding Obligation is intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) under the Exchange Act and to be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act (your election to Sell to Cover and the provisions of this Section 11(b), collectively, the “10b5-1 Plan”). You acknowledge that by accepting this Award, you are adopting the 10b5-1 Plan to permit you to satisfy the Withholding Obligation. You hereby authorize the Company and the Agent to cooperate and communicate with one another to determine the number of shares of Common Stock that must be sold pursuant to Section 11(b)(i) to satisfy your obligations hereunder. (iii) You acknowledge that the Agent is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of Common Stock at any particular price under this 10b5-1 Plan and that the Agent may effect sales as provided in this 10b5-1 Plan in one or more sales and that the average price for executions resulting from bunched orders may be assigned to your account. You further acknowledge that you will be responsible for all brokerage fees and other costs of sale associated with this 10b5-1 Plan, and you agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale. In addition, you acknowledge that it may not be possible to sell shares of Common Stock as provided for in this 10b5-1 Plan due to (i) a legal or contractual restriction applicable to you or the Agent, (ii) a market disruption, (iii) a sale effected pursuant to this 10b5-1 Plan that would not comply (or in the reasonable opinion of the Agent’s counsel is likely not to comply) with the Securities Act, (iv) the Company’s determination that sales may not be effected under this 10b5-1 Plan or (v) rules governing order execution priority on the national exchange where the Common Stock may be traded. In the event of the Agent’s inability to sell shares of Common Stock, you will continue to be responsible for the timely payment to the Company of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld, including but not limited to those amounts specified in Section 11(b)(i)(1) above. (iv) You acknowledge that regardless of any other term or condition of this 10b5-1 Plan, the Agent will not be liable to you for (A) special, indirect, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, or incidental losses or damages of any kind, or (B) any failure to


 
7. perform or for any delay in performance that results from a cause or circumstance that is beyond its reasonable control. (v) You hereby agree to execute and deliver to the Agent any other agreements or documents as the Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this 10b5-1 Plan. The Agent is a third-party beneficiary of this Section 11(b) and the terms of this 10b5-1 Plan. (vi) Your election to Sell to Cover and to enter into this 10b5-1 Plan is irrevocable. Upon acceptance of the Award, you have elected to Sell to Cover and to enter into this 10b5-1 Plan, and you acknowledge that you may not change this election at any time in the future. This 10b5-1 Plan shall terminate not later than the date on which the Withholding Obligation arising from the vesting of your Stock Units and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock has been satisfied. (c) Alternatively, or in addition to or in combination with the Sell to Cover provided for under Section 11(b), you authorize the Company, at its discretion, to satisfy the Withholding Obligation by the following means (or by a combination of the following means): (i) Requiring you to pay to the Company any portion of the Withholding Obligation in cash; (ii) Withholding from any compensation otherwise payable to you by the Company; and/or (iii) Withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to you in connection with the Award with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the date shares of Common Stock are issued pursuant to Section 7) equal to the amount of the Withholding Obligation; provided, however, that the number of such shares of Common Stock so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s or Affiliate’s required tax withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income (or such other amount as may be permitted while still avoiding classification of the Award as a liability for financial accounting purposes). (d) Unless the Withholding Obligation of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver to you any Common Stock. (e) In the event the Withholding Obligation of the Company arises prior to the delivery to you of Common Stock or it is determined after the delivery of Common Stock to you that the amount of the Withholding Obligation was greater than the amount withheld by the Company, you agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any failure by the Company to withhold the proper amount. 12. UNSECURED OBLIGATION. Your Award is unfunded, and as a holder of a vested Award, you shall be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue shares pursuant to this Agreement. You shall not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares to be issued


 
8. pursuant to this Agreement until such shares are issued to you pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement. Upon such issuance, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or any other person. 13. OTHER DOCUMENTS. You hereby acknowledge receipt or the right to receive a document providing the information required by Rule 428(b)(1) promulgated under the Securities Act, which includes the Plan prospectus. In addition, you acknowledge receipt of the Company’s policy on trading in Company securities permitting employees to sell shares only during certain “window” periods and the Company’s insider trading policy, in effect from time to time. 14. DATA TRANSFER. You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, your employer, and the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that the Company, its Affiliates, its Subsidiaries and your employer hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number (or other identification number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). You understand that the Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data, as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares issued in respect of your Award. 15. NOTICES; ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE. Any notices provided for in your Award or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to participation in the Plan and this Award by electronic means or to request your consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company, the Agent or another third party designated by the Company and agree notice shall be provided upon posting to your electronic account held by the Company, the Agent or another third party designated by the Company. You hereby acknowledge that delivery, execution and acceptance of this or any other such documents by electronic means constitutes valid and effective delivery, execution and acceptance and shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement. 16. CLAWBACK/RECOUPMENT. The Award will be subject to recoupment, rescission, payback, cancelation or other action, in each case, in accordance with (i) any clawback policy adopted by the Company (whether such policy is adopted on or after the date of this Agreement or


 
9. required under applicable law) and (ii) any such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions set forth in an individual written agreement between you and the Company. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to your right to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company. 17. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) The rights and obligations of the Company under your Award shall be transferable to any one or more persons or entities, and all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Company’s successors and assigns. Your rights and obligations under your Award may only be assigned with the prior written consent of the Company. (b) You agree upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or desirable in the sole determination of the Company to carry out the purposes or intent of your Award.

(d) This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. (e) All obligations of the Company under the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company. 18. GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT. Your Award is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your Award, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. Except as expressly provided herein, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of your Award and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. 19. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and you with respect to the subject matter hereof, with the exception of any arrangement that would provide for vesting acceleration of this Award upon the terms and conditions set forth therein. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the state of Delaware. 20. SEVERABILITY. If all or any part of this Agreement or the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any portion of this Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid.


 
10. Any Section of this Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid. 21. EFFECT ON OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. The value of the Award subject to this Agreement shall not be included as compensation, earnings, salaries, or other similar terms used when calculating your benefits under any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or any Affiliate, except as such plan otherwise expressly provides. The Company expressly reserves its rights to amend, modify, or terminate any of the Company’s or any Affiliate’s employee benefit plans. 22. AMENDMENT.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended solely by the Administrator by a writing which specifically states that it is amending this Agreement, so long as a copy of such amendment is delivered to you, and provided that no such amendment adversely affecting your rights hereunder may be made without your written consent, except as otherwise provided in the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator reserves the right to change, by written notice to you, the provisions of this Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the grant as a result of any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling, or judicial decision, provided that any such change shall be applicable only to rights relating to that portion of the Award which is then subject to restrictions as provided herein.

1. SEAGEN INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED 2007 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT FOR NON-US PARTICIPANTS Pursuant to the Stock Unit Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Stock Unit Agreement, including any special terms and conditions for your country set forth in the appendix attached hereto (this “Agreement”), Seagen Inc. (the “Company”) has awarded you a Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) under its Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Your Award is granted to you effective as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Grant Notice for this Award. This Agreement shall be deemed to be agreed to by the Company and you upon your execution of the Stock Unit Grant Notice to which it is attached. Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement shall have the same meanings given to them in the Plan or the Grant Notice, as applicable. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein, in the event of any conflict between the terms in this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. The details of your Award, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice and the Plan, are as follows. 1. GRANT OF THE AWARD. This Award represents the right to be issued on a future date the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that is equal to the number of stock units indicated in the Grant Notice (the “Stock Units”). As of the Date of Grant, the Company will credit to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company for your benefit (the “Account”) the number of Stock Units subject to the Award. This Award is granted in consideration of your services to the Company or an Affiliate. Except as otherwise provided herein, you will not be required to make any payment to the Company (other than future services to the Company) with respect to your receipt of the Award, the vesting of the Stock Units or the delivery of the Common Stock to be issued in respect of the Award. 2. VESTING. (a) Subject to the limitations contained herein, your Award will vest, if at all, in accordance with the vesting schedule provided in the Grant Notice, provided that you have not incurred a Termination of Employment before the vesting date set forth in the Grant Notice. Upon your Termination of Employment, the Stock Units credited to the Account that were not vested on the date of such Termination of Employment will be forfeited at no cost to the Company and you will have no further right, title or interest in the Stock Units or the shares of Common Stock to be issued in respect of the Award. (b) By accepting the grant of this Award, you acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 2 supersede any contrary terms regarding the vesting of this Award set forth in any notice or other communication that you receive from, or that is displayed by, E*TRADE or other third party designated by the Company. (c) For purposes of your Award, your Termination of Employment will be considered to be (regardless of the reason of termination, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment or other laws or rules in the jurisdiction where you are providing services or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any) effective as of the date that


 
2. you cease to actively provide services to the Company or any Affiliate and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., employment or service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment or other laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or providing services or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any). The Administrator shall have exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively employed or providing services for purposes of the Plan (including whether you still may be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of your Termination of Employment as a result of your death or Disability, the vesting of your Award shall accelerate such that your Award shall become vested as to an additional twelve (12) months, effective as of the date of such Termination of Employment, to the extent that your Award is outstanding on such date. 3. FORFEITURE OF AWARD NOT TIMELY ACCEPTED. The Award is conditioned upon your electronic acceptance of the Award, as set forth in the Grant Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if you fail to accept the Award prior to the vesting dates set forth in the Grant Notice, the portion of the Award that otherwise would have vested on each such date will be forfeited at no cost to the Company, and you will have no further right, title or interest in such portion. In the event of your Termination of Employment as a result of your death or Disability prior to acceptance of the Award, the Company will deem the Award as being accepted. 4. NUMBER OF SHARES. (a) The number of Stock Units subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time for changes in capitalization, as provided in Section 13 of the Plan. (b) Any additional Stock Units that become subject to the Award pursuant to this Section 4 shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Administrator, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other Stock Units covered by your Award. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, no fractional shares or rights for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be created pursuant to this Section 4. The Administrator shall, in its discretion, determine an equivalent benefit for any fractional shares or fractional shares that might be created by the adjustments referred to in this Section 4. 5. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. You may not be issued any shares in respect of your Award unless either (i) the shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (or other applicable securities laws in the case of Participants not subject to U.S. securities laws); or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws in the case of Participants not subject to U.S. securities laws). Your Award also must comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you will not receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations. You represent and warrant that you (a) have been furnished with a copy of the


 
3. prospectus for the Plan and all information deemed necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of receipt of the Award, (b) have had the opportunity to ask questions concerning the information received about the Award and the Company, and (c) have been given the opportunity to obtain any information you deem necessary to verify the accuracy of any information obtained concerning the Award and the Company. 6. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Your Award is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws, you agree not to assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any interest in any of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award until the shares are issued to you in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement. After the shares have been issued to you, you are free to assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any interest in such shares provided that any such actions are in compliance with the provisions herein and applicable securities laws. 7. DATE OF ISSUANCE. (a) If the Award is exempt from application of Section 409A of the Code and any state law of similar effect (collectively “Section 409A”), the Company will deliver to you a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to the number of vested Stock Units subject to your Award, including any additional Stock Units received pursuant to Section 4 above that relate to those vested Stock Units on the applicable vesting date (the “Original Issuance Date”). However, if the Original Issuance Date falls on a date that is not a business day, such delivery date shall instead fall on the next following business day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Original Issuance Date does not occur (1) during an “open window period” applicable to you, as determined by the Company in accordance with the Company’s then-effective policy or policies on trading in Company securities or (2) on a date when you are otherwise permitted to sell shares of Common Stock on the open market; and (ii) the Company elects, prior to the Original Issuance Date, (x) not to satisfy the Withholding Obligation (as defined in Section 12(b) hereof) by withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares otherwise due, on the Original Issuance Date, to you under this Award pursuant to Section 12 hereof, (y) not to permit you to then effect a Sell to Cover under the 10b5-1 Plan (as defined in Section 12(c) of this Agreement), and (z) not to permit you to satisfy the Withholding Obligation in cash, then such shares shall not be delivered on such Original Issuance Date and shall instead be delivered on the first business day of the next occurring open window period applicable to you or the next business day when you are not prohibited from selling shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the open market, as applicable (and regardless of whether there has been a Termination of Employment before such time), but in no event later than the 15th day of the third calendar month of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Stock Units vest. Delivery of the shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7(a) is intended to comply with the requirements for the short-term deferral exemption available under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and shall be construed and administered in such manner. The form of such delivery of the shares (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) shall be determined by the Company. (b) The provisions of this Section 7(b) are intended to apply if the Award is subject to Section 409A because of the terms of a severance arrangement or other agreement between you and the Company, if any, that provide for acceleration of vesting of the Award upon


 
4. your separation from service (as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code (“Separation from Service”) and such severance benefit does not satisfy the requirements for an exemption from application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) or 1.409A-1(b)(9) (“Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement”). If the Award is subject to and not exempt from application of Section 409A due to application of a Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement, the following provisions in this Section 7(b) shall supersede anything to the contrary in Section 7(a). (i) If the Award vests in the ordinary course before your Termination of Employment in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice, without accelerating vesting under the terms of a Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement, in no event will the shares to be issued in respect of your Award be issued any later than the later of: (A) December 31st of the calendar year that includes the applicable vesting date and (B) the 60th day that follows the applicable vesting date. (ii) If vesting of the Award accelerates under the terms of a Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement in connection with your Separation from Service, and such vesting acceleration provisions were in effect as of the date of grant of the Award and, therefore, are part of the terms of the Award as of the date of grant, then the shares will be earlier issued in respect of your Award upon your Separation from Service in accordance with the terms of the Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement, but in no event later than the 60th day that follows the date of your Separation from Service. However, if at the time the shares would otherwise be issued you are subject to the distribution limitations contained in Section 409A applicable to “specified employees,” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such shares shall not be issued before the date that is six months following the date of your Separation from Service, or, if earlier, the date of your death that occurs within such six-month period. (iii) If either (A) vesting of the Award accelerates under the terms of a Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement in connection with your Separation from Service, and such vesting acceleration provisions were not in effect as of the date of grant of the Award and, therefore, are not a part of the terms of the Award on the date of grant, or (B) vesting accelerates pursuant to Section (a) or Section 13 of the Plan, then such acceleration of vesting of the Award shall not accelerate the issuance date of the shares (or any substitute property), but the shares (or substitute property) shall instead be issued on the same schedule as set forth in the Grant Notice as if they had vested in the ordinary course before your Termination of Employment, notwithstanding the vesting acceleration of the Award. Such issuance schedule is intended to satisfy the requirements of payment on a specified date or pursuant to a fixed schedule, as provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(a)(4). (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company explicitly reserves the right to earlier issue the shares in respect of any Award to the extent permitted and in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A, including pursuant to any of the exemptions available in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix). (d) The provisions in this Agreement for delivery of the shares in respect of the Award are intended either to comply with the requirements of Section 409A or to provide a basis


 
5. for exemption from such requirements so that the delivery of the shares will not trigger the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be so interpreted. 8. DIVIDENDS. You shall receive no benefit or adjustment to your Award with respect to any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution that does not result from a change in capitalization as provided in Section 13 of the Plan; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to any shares of Common Stock that are delivered to you in connection with your Award after such shares have been delivered to you. 9. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. The shares issued in respect of your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends determined by the Company. 10. AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. (a) Nothing in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the vesting of your Award pursuant to the schedule set forth in Section 2 herein or the issuance of the shares in respect of your Award), the Plan or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in this Agreement or the Plan shall: (i) confer upon you any right to continue in the employ of, or affiliation with, the Company or an Affiliate; (ii) constitute any promise or commitment by the Company or an Affiliate regarding the fact or nature of future positions, future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation; (iii) confer any right or benefit under this Agreement or the Plan unless such right or benefit has specifically accrued under the terms of this Agreement or Plan; or (iv) deprive the Company or an Affiliate of the right to terminate your employment without regard to any future vesting opportunity that you may have. (b) By accepting this Award, you acknowledge and agree that the right to continue vesting in the Award pursuant to the schedule set forth in Section 2 is earned only by continuing as an employee, director or consultant of the Company or Affiliate, as applicable (not through the act of being hired, being granted this Award or any other award or benefit) and that the Company has the right to reorganize, sell, spin-out or otherwise restructure one or more of its businesses or Affiliates at any time or from time to time, as it deems appropriate (a “reorganization”). You further acknowledge and agree that such a reorganization could result in your Termination of Employment, or the termination of Affiliate status of your employer and the loss of benefits available to you under this Agreement, including but not limited to, the termination of the right to continue vesting in the Award. You further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement, the Plan, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in any of them do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued engagement as an employee or consultant for the term of this Agreement, for any period, or at all, and shall not interfere in any way with your right or the Company’s right to terminate your service at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice. 11.

(c) By accepting this Award, you hereby (i) acknowledge and agree that you have elected a Sell to Cover (as defined in the Grant Notice) to permit you to satisfy the Withholding Obligation and that the Withholding Obligation shall be satisfied pursuant to this Section 12(c) to the fullest extent not otherwise satisfied pursuant to the provisions of Section 12(d) hereof and (ii) further acknowledge and agree to the following provisions: (i) You hereby irrevocably appoint E*TRADE, or such other registered broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority as the Company may select, as your agent (the “Agent”), and you authorize and direct the Agent to: (1) Sell on the open market at the then prevailing market price(s), on your behalf, as soon as practicable on or after the date on which the shares of Common Stock are delivered to you pursuant to Section 7 hereof in connection with the vesting of the Stock Units, the number (rounded up to the next whole number) of shares of Common Stock sufficient to generate proceeds to cover (A) the satisfaction of the Withholding Obligation arising from the vesting of those Stock Units and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock to you that is not otherwise satisfied pursuant to Section 12(d) hereof and (B) all applicable fees and commissions due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent with respect thereto; (2) Remit directly to the Company and/or any Affiliate the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Withholding Obligation; (3) Retain the amount required to cover all applicable fees and commissions due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent, relating directly to the sale of the shares of Common Stock referred to in clause (1) above; and


 
8. (4) Remit any remaining funds to you. (ii) You acknowledge that your election to Sell to Cover and the corresponding authorization and instruction to the Agent set forth in this Section 12(c) to sell Common Stock to satisfy the Withholding Obligation is intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) under the Exchange Act (or other applicable securities laws in the case of Participants not subject to U.S. securities laws) and to be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act (or other applicable securities laws in the case of Participants not subject to U.S. securities laws) (your election to Sell to Cover and the provisions of this Section 12(c), collectively, the “10b5-1 Plan”). You acknowledge that by accepting this Award, you are adopting the 10b5-1 Plan to permit you to satisfy the Withholding Obligation. You hereby authorize the Company and the Agent to cooperate and communicate with one another to determine the number of shares of Common Stock that must be sold pursuant to Section 12(c)(i) to satisfy your obligations hereunder. (iii) You acknowledge that the Agent is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of Common Stock at any particular price under this 10b5-1 Plan and that the Agent may effect sales as provided in this 10b5-1 Plan in one or more sales and that the average price for executions resulting from bunched orders may be assigned to your account. You further acknowledge that you will be responsible for all brokerage fees and other costs of sale associated with this 10b5-1 Plan, and you agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale. In addition, you acknowledge that it may not be possible to sell shares of Common Stock as provided for in this 10b5-1 Plan due to (i) a legal or contractual restriction applicable to you or the Agent, (ii) a market disruption, (iii) a sale effected pursuant to this 10b5-1 Plan that would not comply (or in the reasonable opinion of the Agent’s counsel is likely not to comply) with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws in the case of Participants not subject to U.S. securities laws), (iv) the Company’s determination that sales may not be effected under this 10b5-1 Plan or (v) rules governing order execution priority on the national exchange where the Common Stock may be traded. In the event of the Agent’s inability to sell shares of Common Stock, you will continue to be responsible for the timely payment to the Company of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld, including but not limited to those amounts specified in Section 12(c)(i)(1) above. (iv) You acknowledge that regardless of any other term or condition of this 10b5-1 Plan, the Agent will not be liable to you for (A) special, indirect, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, or incidental losses or damages of any kind, or (B) any failure to perform or for any delay in performance that results from a cause or circumstance that is beyond its reasonable control. (v) You hereby agree to execute and deliver to the Agent any other agreements or documents as the Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this 10b5-1 Plan. The Agent is a third-party beneficiary of this Section 12(c) and the terms of this 10b5-1 Plan. (vi) Your election to Sell to Cover and to enter into this 10b5-1 Plan is irrevocable. Upon acceptance of the Award, you have elected to Sell to Cover and to enter into


 
9. this 10b5-1 Plan, and you acknowledge that you may not change this election at any time in the future.

(d) Alternatively, or in addition to or in combination with the Sell to Cover provided for under Section 12(c), you authorize the Company, at its discretion, to satisfy the Withholding Obligation by the following means (or by a combination of the following means): (i) Requiring you to pay to the Company any portion of the Withholding Obligation in cash; (ii) Withholding from any compensation otherwise payable to you by the Company; and/or (iii) Withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to you in connection with the Award with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the date shares of Common Stock are issued pursuant to Section 7) equal to the amount of the Withholding Obligation. (e) Unless the Withholding Obligation of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver to you any Common Stock. (f) In the event the Withholding Obligation of the Company arises prior to the delivery to you of Common Stock or it is determined after the delivery of Common Stock to you that the amount of the Withholding Obligation was greater than the amount withheld by the Company, you agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any failure by the Company to withhold the proper amount. 13. NO ADVICE REGARDING GRANT. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock. You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, financial and/or legal advisors regarding the consequences of accepting this Award and by signing the Grant Notice, you have agreed that you have done so or knowingly and voluntarily declined to do so. 14. UNSECURED OBLIGATION. Your Award is unfunded, and as a holder of a vested Award, you shall be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue shares pursuant to this Agreement. You shall not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement until such shares are issued to you pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement. Upon such issuance, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or any other person. 15. OTHER DOCUMENTS. You hereby acknowledge receipt or the right to receive a document providing the information required by Rule 428(b)(1) promulgated under the Securities

The Award will be subject to recoupment, rescission, payback, cancelation or other action, in each case, in accordance with (i) any clawback policy adopted by the Company (whether such policy is adopted on or after the date of this Agreement or required under applicable law) and (ii) any such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions set forth in an individual written agreement between you and the Company. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to your right to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company. 18.

11. (e) This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. (f) All obligations of the Company under the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company. 19. GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT. Your Award is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your Award, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan.

The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and you with respect to the subject matter hereof, with the exception of any arrangement that would provide for vesting acceleration of this Award upon the terms and conditions set forth therein. 21. SEVERABILITY. If all or any part of this Agreement or the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any portion of this Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section of this Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid. 22. DATA PRIVACY. To participate in the Plan, you will need to review the information provided in this Section and, where applicable, declare your consent to the processing of personal data by the Company and third parties noted below. (a) EEA+ Controller and Representative. If you are based in the European Union (“EU”), the European Economic Area, Switzerland or, if and when the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, the United Kingdom (collectively “EEA+”), you should note that the Company, with its registered address at 21823 30th Drive SE Bothell, Washington 98021, United States of America, is the controller responsible for the processing of your personal data in connection with the Agreement and the Plan. The Company’s representative in the EU is Seagen Netherlands B.V., located at Evert van de Beekstraat 1, -140 1118CL Schiphol, Netherlands with office phone: +31 207 99 15 60. (b) Data Collection and Usage. In connection with the administration of the Plan, the Company collects, processes, uses and transfers certain personally-identifiable information about you, which may include your name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to shares of Common


 
12. Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, settled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor and additional similar or related data, which the Company receives from you or the entity that employs you (“Personal Data”). Specifically, the Company collects, processes and uses Personal Data for the purposes of performing its contractual obligations under this Agreement, implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan and facilitating compliance with applicable tax and securities law. If you are based in the EEA+, the legal basis, where required, for the processing of Personal Data by the Company is the necessity for the Company to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement, (ii) comply with legal obligations established in the EEA+, and/or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of complying with legal obligations established outside of the EEA+. If you are based outside of the EEA+, the legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data by the Company is your consent, as further described in (h) below. (c) Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Personal Data to E*TRADE Corporate Financial Services, Inc., and E*TRADE Securities LLC (collectively, “E*TRADE”), an independent service provider which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider, which will act in a similar manner, and share Personal Data with such service provider. The Company’s service provider will open an account for you to receive and trade shares. The processing of Personal Data will take place through both electronic and non-electronic means. Personal Data will only be accessible by those individuals requiring access to it for purposes of implementing, administering and operating the Plan. (d) International Data Transfers. The Company and E*TRADE are based in the United States. The country where you live may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. In particular, the United States does not have the same level of protections for personal data as countries in the EEA+. The European Commission requires U.S. companies to protect personal data leaving the EEA+ by implementing safeguards such as the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the EU Commission. If you are based in the EEA+, Personal Data will be transferred from the EEA+ to the Company and onward from the Company to E*TRADE, or if applicable, another service provider, based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. You may request a copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses by contacting dataprotection@seagen.com. If you are based in a jurisdiction outside of the EEA+, Personal Data will be transferred from your jurisdiction to the Company and onward from the Company to E*TRADE, or if applicable, another service provider based on your consent, as further described in (h) below. (e) Data Retention. The Company will use Personal Data only as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs Personal Data for any of these purposes, the Company will remove it from its systems.


 
13. (f) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. You may withdraw your consent at any time, with future effect and for any or no reason. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to withdraw your consent, your salary from or employment or service relationship with your employer will not be affected. The only consequence of denying or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Awards to you under the Plan or administer or maintain your participation in the Plan. If you withdraw your consent, the Company will stop processing your Personal Data for the purposes stated in Section (b) above unless to the extent necessary to comply with tax or other legal obligations in connection with Awards granted before you withdrew your consent. (g) Data Subject Rights. You may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in your jurisdiction. Subject to the conditions set out in the applicable law and depending on where you are based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access to, or copies of, Personal Data processed by the Company, (ii) rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) deletion of Personal Data, (iv) restrict the processing of Personal Data, (v) object to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, (vi) portability of Personal Data, (vii) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your jurisdiction, and/or to (viii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, you can contact dataprotection@seagen.com. (h) Necessary Disclosure of Personal Data. You understand that providing the Company with Personal Data is necessary for the performance of this Agreement and that your refusal to provide Personal Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and would affect your ability to participate in the Plan. (i) Declaration of Consent (if you are outside the EEA+). By clicking on the “I accept” button on the Acknowledge Grant screen on the stock plan administration site, you are declaring that you unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your Personal Data, as described above and in any other grant materials, by and among, as applicable, the entity that employs you, the Company, any Affiliate and any service provider involved in stock plan administration including but not limited to E*TRADE for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that you may, at any time, refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Seagen Inc. Director of Privacy Law. If you do not consent or later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service with the entity that employs you will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Award or any other equity award to you or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing consent will affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you should contact the Company’s Stock Plan Administrator. 23. INSIDER TRADING RESTRICTIONS/MARKET ABUSE LAWS. You acknowledge that, depending on your country, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect your ability to acquire or sell the shares of Common Stock or rights to the shares of Common Stock under the Plan during such times as you are considered to have “inside


 
14. information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in your country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and you are advised to speak to your personal advisor on this matter. 24. FOREIGN ASSET/ACCOUNT AND TAX REPORTING, EXCHANGE CONTROLS. Your country may have certain foreign asset, account and/or tax reporting requirements and exchange controls which may affect your ability to acquire or hold shares of Common Stock under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of shares of Common Stock) in a brokerage or bank account outside your country. You understand that you may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in your country. You also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of participation in the Plan to your country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt. In addition, you may be subject to tax payment and/or reporting obligations in connection with any income realized under the Plan and/or from the sale of shares of Common Stock. You acknowledge that you are responsible for complying with all such requirements, and that you should consult personal legal and tax advisors, as applicable, to ensure compliance. 25. WAIVER. You acknowledge that a waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of this Agreement. 26. LANGUAGE. You acknowledge that you are sufficiently proficient in the English language, or have consulted with an advisor who is proficient in English, so as to allow you to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you have received this Agreement, or any other document related to this Award and/or the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control. 27. APPENDIX. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, your Award shall be subject to the special terms and conditions for your country set forth in the Appendix. Moreover, if you transfer residence and/or employment to another country reflected in the Appendix, the terms and conditions for such country will apply to you to the extent the Company determines in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement. 28. GOVERNING LAW/VENUE. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement will be governed by the law of the State of Delaware without regard to that state’s conflicts of laws rules. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought due to your participation in the Plan, relating to it, or arising from it, you hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action, suit or proceeding, in a New York state court in the County of New York), and no other courts, where this Award is granted and/or to be performed.


 
15. 29. IMPOSITION OF OTHER REQUIREMENTS. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in the Plan, and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require you to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. 30. AMENDMENT. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by you and by a duly authorized representative of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended solely by the Administrator by a writing which specifically states that it is amending this Agreement, so long as a copy of such amendment is delivered to you, and provided that no such amendment adversely affecting your rights hereunder may be made without your written consent, except as otherwise provided in the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator reserves the right to change, by written notice to you, the provisions of this Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the grant as a result of any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling, or judicial decision, provided that any such change shall be applicable only to rights relating to that portion of the Award which is then subject to restrictions as provided herein.

18. IMPORTANT ACKNOWLEDGMENT. In accepting this Award, you acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan and the Agreement and reviewed the Plan and the Agreement in their entirety and fully understand and accept all provisions of the Plan and the Agreement. YOU FURTHER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND EXPRESSLY ACCEPT SECTION 2 (VESTING) OF THIS AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED BY THE FOLLOWING APPENDIX PROVISION: Termination of Employment. This provision replaces Section 2(c) of the Agreement: For purposes of the Stock Unit Award, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or the Plan, you will be deemed to experience a Termination of Employment (and your right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units and receive shares of Common Stock under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of) the date that is the earlier of: (1) the date you cease to be an Employee or Consultant; (2) the date on which you receive written notice of termination; or (3) the date you are no longer actively providing services to the Company or any other Affiliate (except where such inactive service results from a leave of absence that is required to be provided to you under Applicable Law), and in each case: (i) regardless of the reason of such cessation or termination; and (ii) whether or not such cessation or termination is (or is later found to be) unlawful, or invalid, or in breach of Applicable Laws (including, but not limited to, employment-related statutory and/or common and/or civil law, or other laws or rules in the jurisdiction where you are providing services), or in breach of the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any. For clarity, in each case, such date will be determined regardless of (and will not be extended by) any notice period or severance period or period of “garden leave” or period of reasonable notice or period covered by compensation/indemnity/damages in lieu of reasonable notice, or any similar period to which you claim to be entitled, whether mandated under Applicable Laws (including, but not limited to, employment-related statutory law and/or common law and/or civil law), or claimed by you under the terms of your employment or service agreement (if any), or claimed by you on any other basis whatsoever.

19. Les parties reconnaissent avoir exigé la rédaction en anglais de cette convention («Agreement»), ainsi que cette Annexe, ainsi que de tous documents, avis et procédures judiciaires, exécutés, donnés ou intentés en vertu de, ou liés directement ou indirectement à, la présente convention. Data Privacy. This provision supplements Section 22 of the Agreement: You hereby authorize the Company and the Company’s representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan. You further authorize the Company, your employer and/or any other Affiliate to disclose and discuss such information with their advisors. You also authorize the Company, your employer and/or any other Affiliate to record such information and to keep such information in your employee file. Notifications Securities Law Information. You understand that you are permitted to sell shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided the sale of the shares acquired pursuant to the Plan takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the shares are listed, and the Company is not a reporting issuer in any jurisdiction of Canada at the time of sale. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Specified Foreign property, including Stock Units, shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and other rights to receive shares of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident must generally be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the specified foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus, if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded by other foreign specified property held by the individual, the award of Restricted Stock Units must be reported (generally at a nil cost). For purposes of such reporting, shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan may be reported at their adjusted cost basis. The adjusted cost basis of a share is generally equal to the fair market value of such share at the time of acquisition; however, if you own other shares of Common Stock (e.g., acquired under other circumstances or at another time), the adjusted cost basis may have to be averaged with the adjusted cost bases of the other shares of Common Stock. You should consult with your personal tax advisor to determine your reporting requirements. DENMARK Terms and Conditions Danish Stock Option Act. By accepting this Award, you acknowledge that you received an Employer Statement, translated into Danish, which is being provided to comply with the Danish Stock Option Act. Notifications Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If you establish an account holding shares or cash outside of Denmark, you must report the account to the Danish Tax Administration. The form which should be used to make the report can be obtained from a local bank.

21. SPECIAL NOTICE FOR EMPLOYEES IN DENMARK EMPLOYER STATEMENT Pursuant to Section 3(1) of the Act on Stock Options in employment relations, as amended January 1, 2019 (the “Stock Option Act”), you are entitled to receive the following information regarding the restricted stock units granted to you by Seagen Inc. (the “Company”) under the Seagen Inc. Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) in a written statement. This statement contains information applicable to your participation in the Plan, as required under the Stock Option Act, while the other terms and conditions of your restricted stock units (“Stock Units”) are described in detail in the Plan and the Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), both of which have been made available to you. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings given to them in the Plan or the Agreement, as applicable. Section 1 of the Stock Option Act provides that the Stock Option Act only applies to employees. Employees are defined in section 2 of the Stock Option Act as persons who receive remuneration for their personal services in an employment relationship. Persons, including managers, who are not regarded as employees under the Stock Option Act, will not be subject to the Stock Option Act. If you are not an employee within the meaning of the Stock Option Act, the Company therefore has no obligation to issue an employer information statement to you and you will not be able to rely on this statement for legal purposes, since only the terms and conditions set out in the Plan apply. 1. Date of grant The date of grant of your Stock Units is the date that the Board or its delegates approved a grant for you and determined it would be effective, which is set forth in the Agreement. 2. Terms or conditions for Stock Unit grant The grant of Stock Units under the Plan is made at the sole discretion of the Company. Employees, Directors and Consultants of the Company and its Affiliates, are eligible to receive grants under the Plan. The Board has broad discretion to determine who will receive Stock Units and to set the terms and conditions of the Stock Units. The Company may decide, in its sole discretion, not to make any grants of Stock Units to you in the future. Under the terms of the Plan and the Agreement, you have no entitlement or claim to receive future grants of Stock Units. 3. Vesting date or period The Stock Units will vest over a period of time (as set forth in the Agreement), subject to your continuous service through the applicable vesting date and other conditions set forth in the Plan and Agreement, and subject to Section 5 of this statement. 4. Exercise Price


 
22. No exercise price is payable upon the conversion of your Stock Units into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the vesting and settlement schedule described in the Agreement. 5. Your rights upon termination of employment Subject to the provisions below regarding accelerated vesting in certain circumstances, your eligibility to receive any vesting of this Award will cease upon your Termination of Employment and the Stock Units credited to the Account that were not vested on the date of such termination will be forfeited at no cost to the Company and you will have no further right, title or interest in or to such Award or the shares of Common Stock to be issued in respect of such portion of the Award. In the event of your Termination of Employment as a result of your death or Disability, the vesting of your Award shall accelerate such that your Award shall become vested as to an additional twelve (12) months, effective as of the date of such Termination of Employment, to the extent that your Award is outstanding on such date. 6. Financial aspects of participating in the Plan The grant of Stock Units has no immediate financial consequences for you. The value of the Stock Units is not taken into account when calculating holiday allowances, pension contributions or other statutory consideration calculated on the basis of salary. Shares of stock are financial instruments and investing in stock will always have financial risk. The future value of Company shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.

23. SÆRLIG MEDDELELSE TIL MEDARBEJDERE I DANMARK ARBEJDSGIVERERKLÆRING I henhold til § 3, stk. 1, i lov om brug af køberet eller tegningsret m.v. i ansættelsesforhold som ændret 1. januar 2019 ("Aktieoptionsloven") er du berettiget til i en skriftlig erklæring at modtage følgende oplysninger om de betingede aktier, som du modtager fra Seagen Inc. (“Selskabet”) i henhold til Seagen Inc.'s "Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan" ("Ordningen"). Denne erklæring indeholder de oplysninger, der i henhold til Aktieoptionsloven gælder for din deltagelse i Ordningen, mens de øvrige vilkår og betingelser for de betingede aktier ("Betingede Aktier") er nærmere beskrevet i Ordningen og i Aktietildelingsaftalen ("Aftalen"), som begge er udleveret til dig. Begreber, der står med stort begyndelsesbogstav i denne arbejdsgivererklæring, men som ikke er defineret heri, har den i Ordningen eller Aftalen anførte betydning. I henhold til Aktieoptionslovens § 1 finder loven kun anvendelse for lønmodtagere. Lønmodtagere er defineret i Aktieoptionslovens § 2 som personer, der modtager vederlag for personligt arbejde i tjenesteforhold. Personer, herunder direktører, som ikke anses for at være lønmodtagere i Aktieoptionslovens forstand, er ikke omfattet af Aktieoptionsloven. Hvis du ikke er lønmodtager i Aktieoptionslovens forstand, er Selskabet derfor ikke forpligtet til at udstede en arbejdsgivererklæring til dig, og du vil ikke i juridisk henseende kunne henholde dig til denne arbejdsgivererklæring, da det alene er bestemmelserne i Ordningen, der er gældende. 1. Tildelingstidspunkt Tidspunktet for tildeling af de Betingede Aktier er den dag, hvor Bestyrelsen eller en repræsentant for Bestyrelsen godkendte tildelingen og besluttede, at den skulle træde i kraft. Tidspunktet fremgår af Aftalen. 2. Vilkår og betingelser for tildelingen af Betingede Aktier Tildelingen af Betingede Aktier i henhold til Ordningen sker efter Selskabets eget skøn. Tildeling kan i henhold til Ordningen ske til Medarbejdere, Bestyrelsesmedlemmer og Konsulenter i Selskabet og dets Tilknyttede Selskaber. Bestyrelsen har vide beføjelser til at bestemme, hvem der skal modtage Betingede Aktier og på hvilke vilkår. Selskabet kan frit vælge fremover ikke at tildele din nogen Betingede Aktier. I henhold til bestemmelserne i Ordningen og Aftalen har du ikke hverken ret til eller krav på fremover at få tildelt Betingede Aktier. 3. Modningsdato eller -periode De Betingede Aktier modnes over en periode (som anført i Aftalen), forudsat at du fortsat er ansat på modningsdatoen, og at de øvrige betingelser i Ordningen og i Aftalen er opfyldt, dog med forbehold for pkt. 5 nedenfor. 4. Udnyttelseskurs


 
24. Der skal ikke betales nogen udnyttelseskurs i forbindelse med konverteringen af de Betingede Aktier til Ordinære Aktier i overensstemmelse med den i Aftalen beskrevne modnings- og afregningsplan. 5. Din retsstilling i forbindelse med fratræden Med forbehold for bestemmelserne nedenfor vedrørende fremskyndet modning ophører modningen ved din Fratræden, og de Betingede Aktier på din Konto, som ikke er modnet på fratrædelsestidspunktet, bortfalder uden omkostninger for Selskabet, og du vil ikke længere have ret eller adkomst til Tildelingen eller de Ordinære Aktier, der udstedes i relation til denne del af Tildelingen. Såfremt du Fratræder, fordi du afgår ved døden eller bliver Uarbejdsdygtig, fremskyndes modningen af Tildelingen, således at Tildelingen modnes, som om du havde været ansat i en periode på yderligere tolv (12) måneder fra Fratrædelsesdatoen, såfremt Tildelingen endnu ikke er modnet på dette tidspunkt. 6. Økonomiske aspekter ved deltagelse i Ordningen Tildelingen af Betingede Aktier har ingen umiddelbare økonomiske konsekvenser for dig. Værdien af de Betingede Aktier indgår ikke i beregningen af feriepenge, pensionsbidrag eller øvrige lovpligtige, vederlagsafhængige ydelser. Aktier er finansielle instrumenter, og investering i aktier vil altid være forbundet med en økonomisk risiko. Den fremtidige værdi af Selskabets aktier kendes ikke og kan ikke forudsiges med sikkerhed. Seagen Inc. 21823 - 30th Drive S.E. Bothell, Washington 98021 U.S.A.

A qualified participation is attained if (i) the value of the shares of Common Stock exceeds €150,000, or (ii) in the unlikely event that you hold shares of Common Stock exceeding 10% of the

Notifications Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If you are an Italian resident and at any time during the fiscal year hold investments or financial assets outside of Italy (e.g., cash, shares of Common Stock) which may generate income taxable in Italy (or if you are the beneficial owner of such an investment or asset, even if you do not directly hold the investment or asset under Italian money laundering provisions), you are required to report such investments or assets on your annual tax return for such fiscal year (on UNICO Form, RW Schedule) or on a special form if you are not required to file a tax return.

If you receive shares of Common Stock upon vesting and settlement of the Award, the acquisition of shares of Common Stock should be reported to the Banco de Portugal for statistical purposes.

If the shares of Common Stock are not deposited with a commercial bank or financial intermediary in Portugal, you are responsible for submitting the report to the Banco de Portugal. SPAIN Terms and Conditions Labor Law Acknowledgment. The following provisions supplement Section 11 of the Agreement: By accepting this Award, you agree to participation in the Plan and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan. You understand and agree that, except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, you will forfeit any Stock Units in the event of your Termination of Employment by reason of, but not limited to, resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente,” individual or collective dismissal on objective grounds, whether adjudged or recognized to be with or without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Service Recipient and under Article 10.3 of the Royal Decree 1382/1985. Furthermore, you understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant Stock Units under the Plan to individuals who are employees of the Company or its Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any Affiliates on an ongoing basis except as set forth under the terms of the Plan and the Agreement. Consequently, you understand that any Award is given on the assumption and


 
28. condition that it shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, you understand and freely accept that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant since the future value of the Stock Units and shares of Common Stock is unknown and unpredictable and you may forfeit the Stock Units if your Termination of Employment occurs prior to vesting. In addition, you understand that this Award would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you understand, acknowledge and freely accept that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then this Award shall be null and void. Notifications Exchange Control Information. The acquisition, ownership and sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan must be declared for statistical purposes to the Spanish Dirección General de Comercio e Inversiones (the “DGCI”), the Bureau for Commerce and Investments, which is a department of the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Commerce.

In addition, you may be required to electronically declare to the Bank of Spain any foreign accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), any foreign instruments (including shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan), and any transactions with non-Spanish residents (including any payments of shares of Common Stock made pursuant to the Plan), depending on the balances in such accounts together with the value of such instruments as of December 31 of the relevant year, or the volume of transactions with non-Spanish residents during the relevant year.

In this case, the amount of any income tax not collected within 90 days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Item(s) occurs may constitute an additional benefit to you on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. You will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or your employer (as appropriate) for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or your employer may recover from you by any of the means referred to in the Plan or Section 12 of the Agreement.

1. 3-8-21 SEAGEN INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED 2007 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN FRENCH-QUALIFIED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT Pursuant to the French-Qualified Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this French-Qualified Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”), Seagen Inc. (the “Company”) has awarded you a French-Qualified Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) under its Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “U.S. Plan”) and the Rules of the Seagen Inc. Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan for Stock Units granted to French Grantees (the “French RSU Sub-Plan;” together with the U.S. Plan, the “Plan”). Your Award is granted to you effective as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Grant Notice for this Award. This Agreement shall be deemed to be agreed to by the Company and you upon your execution of the Grant Notice to which it is attached. Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement shall have the same meanings given to them in the Plan or the Grant Notice, as applicable. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein, in the event of any conflict between the terms in this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. The details of your Award, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice and the Plan, are as follows. 1. GRANT OF THE AWARD. This Award represents the right to be issued on a future date the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that is equal to the number of stock units indicated in the Grant Notice (the “French-Qualified RSUs”). As of the Date of Grant, the Company will credit to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company for your benefit (the “Account”) the number of French-Qualified RSUs subject to the Award. This Award is granted in consideration of your services to the Company or an Affiliate. Except as otherwise provided herein, you will not be required to make any payment to the Company (other than future services to the Company) with respect to your receipt of the Award, the vesting of the French-Qualified RSUs or the delivery of the Common Stock to be issued in respect of the Award. 2. FRENCH-QUALIFIED STATUS. The Awards granted pursuant to this Agreement are intended to qualify for the special tax and social security treatment in France applicable to rights to shares granted for no consideration under Sections L. 225-197-1 to L. 225-197-6 of the French Commercial Code, as amended. However, certain events may affect the qualified status of the Awards and the Company does not make any undertaking or representation to maintain the qualified status of the Award. If the Awards do not retain their qualified status, the special tax and social security treatment will not apply and you will be required to pay your portion of social security contributions resulting from the Award, as well as any income and other taxes that may be due pursuant to other rules for non-qualified restricted stock units. 3. VESTING. Subject to the limitations contained herein, your Award will vest, if at all, in accordance with the vesting schedule provided in the Grant Notice, provided that you have not incurred a Termination of Employment before the applicable vesting date set forth in the Grant Notice. In no event shall any French-Qualified RSUs vest prior to the second anniversary of the


 
2. 3-8-21 Vesting Commencement Date, or such other period as required to comply with the minimum vesting period under Sections L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended. Upon your Termination of Employment, the French-Qualified RSUs credited to the Account that were not vested on the date of such Termination of Employment will be forfeited at no cost to the Company and you will have no further right, title or interest in the French-Qualified RSUs or the shares of Common Stock to be issued in respect of the Award. By accepting the grant of this Award, you acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 3 supersede any contrary terms regarding the vesting of this Award set forth in any notice or other communication that you receive from, or that is displayed by, E*TRADE or other third party designated by the Company. For purposes of your Award, your Termination of Employment will be considered to be (regardless of the reason of termination, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment or other laws or rules in the jurisdiction where you are providing services or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any) effective as of the date that you cease to actively provide services to the Company or any Affiliate and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., employment or service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment or other laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or providing services or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any). The Administrator shall have exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively employed or providing services for purposes of the Plan (including whether you still may be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of your Termination of Employment as a result of your death, the vesting of your Award shall accelerate and become immediately transferable to your heirs and shares of Common Stock will be issued to your heirs upon their request for a period of six months following the date of your death; otherwise, the French-Qualified RSUs will be forfeited at the end of the expiration of the six-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of your Termination of Employment as a result of your Disability, the vesting of your Award shall accelerate such that your Award shall become vested as to an additional twelve (12) months, effective as of the date of such Termination of Employment, to the extent that your Award is outstanding on such date. 4. FORFEITURE OF AWARD NOT TIMELY ACCEPTED. The Award is conditioned upon your electronic acceptance of the Award, as set forth in the Grant Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if you fail to accept the Award prior to the vesting dates set forth in the Grant Notice, the portion of the Award that otherwise would have vested on each such date will be forfeited at no cost to the Company, and you will have no further right, title or interest in such portion. In the event of your Termination of Employment as


 
3. 3-8-21 a result of your death or Disability prior to acceptance of the Award, the Company will deem the Award as being accepted. 5. NUMBER OF SHARES. (a) The number of French-Qualified RSUs subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time for changes in capitalization, as provided in Section 13 of the U.S. Plan. (b) Any additional French-Qualified RSUs that become subject to the Award pursuant to this Section 5 shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Administrator, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other French-Qualified RSUs covered by your Award. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, no fractional shares or rights for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be created pursuant to this Section 5. The Administrator shall, in its discretion, determine an equivalent benefit for any fractional shares or fractional shares that might be created by the adjustments referred to in this Section 5. 6. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. You may not be issued any shares in respect of your Award unless either (i) the shares are registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or other applicable securities laws; or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws. Your Award also must comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you will not receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations. You represent and warrant that you (a) have been furnished with a copy of the Plan and the prospectus for the Plan and all information deemed necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of receipt of the Award, (b) have had the opportunity to ask questions concerning the information received about the Award and the Company, and (c) have been given the opportunity to obtain any information you deem necessary to verify the accuracy of any information obtained concerning the Award and the Company. 7. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Your Award is not transferable, except by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution. In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws, you agree not to assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any interest in any of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award until the shares are issued to you in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement. After the shares have been issued to you, you are free to assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any interest in such shares provided that any such actions are in compliance with the provisions herein and applicable securities laws. 8. DATE OF ISSUANCE. (a) If the Award is exempt from application of Section 409A of the Code and any state law of similar effect (collectively “Section 409A”), the Company will deliver to you a


 
4. 3-8-21 number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to the number of vested French- Qualified RSUs subject to your Award, including any additional French-Qualified RSUs received pursuant to Section 5 above that relate to those vested French-Qualified RSUs on the applicable vesting date (the “Original Issuance Date”). However, if the Original Issuance Date falls on a date that is not a business day, such delivery date shall instead fall on the next following business day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Original Issuance Date does not occur (1) during an “open window period” applicable to you, as determined by the Company in accordance with the Company’s then-effective policy or policies on trading in Company securities or (2) on a date when you are otherwise permitted to sell shares of Common Stock on the open market; and (ii) the Company elects, prior to the Original Issuance Date, (x) not to satisfy the Withholding Obligation (as defined in Section 13(b) hereof) by withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares otherwise due, on the Original Issuance Date, to you under this Award pursuant to Section 13 hereof, (y) not to permit you to then effect a Sell to Cover under the 10b5-1 Plan (as defined in Section 13(c) of this Agreement), and (z) not to permit you to satisfy the Withholding Obligation in cash, then such shares shall not be delivered on such Original Issuance Date and shall instead be delivered on the first business day of the next occurring open window period applicable to you or the next business day when you are not prohibited from selling shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the open market, as applicable (and regardless of whether there has been a Termination of Employment before such time), but in no event later than the 15th day of the third calendar month of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the French-Qualified RSUs vest. Delivery of the shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8(a) is intended to comply with the requirements for the short-term deferral exemption available under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and shall be construed and administered in such manner. The form of such delivery of the shares (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) shall be determined by the Company. (b) The provisions of this Section 8(b) are intended to apply if the Award is subject to Section 409A because of the terms of a severance arrangement or other agreement between you and the Company, if any, that provide for acceleration of vesting of the Award upon your separation from service (as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code (“Separation from Service”) and such severance benefit does not satisfy the requirements for an exemption from application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) or 1.409A-1(b)(9) (“Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement”). If the Award is subject to and not exempt from application of Section 409A due to application of a Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement, the following provisions in this Section 8(b) shall supersede anything to the contrary in Section 8(a). (i) If the Award vests in the ordinary course before your Termination of Employment in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice, without accelerating vesting under the terms of a Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement, in no event will the shares to be issued in respect of your Award be issued any later than the later of: (A) December 31st of the calendar year that includes the applicable vesting date and (B) the 60th day that follows the applicable vesting date.


 
5. 3-8-21 (ii) If vesting of the Award accelerates under the terms of a Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement in connection with your Separation from Service, and such vesting acceleration provisions were in effect as of the date of grant of the Award and, therefore, are part of the terms of the Award as of the date of grant, then the shares will be earlier issued in respect of your Award upon your Separation from Service in accordance with the terms of the Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement, but in no event later than the 60th day that follows the date of your Separation from Service. However, if at the time the shares would otherwise be issued you are subject to the distribution limitations contained in Section 409A applicable to “specified employees,” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such shares shall not be issued before the date that is six months following the date of your Separation from Service, or, if earlier, the date of your death that occurs within such six-month period. (iii) If either (A) vesting of the Award accelerates under the terms of a Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement in connection with your Separation from Service, and such vesting acceleration provisions were not in effect as of the date of grant of the Award and, therefore, are not a part of the terms of the Award on the date of grant, or (B) vesting accelerates pursuant to Section 4(b) or Section 13 of the U.S. Plan, then such acceleration of vesting of the Award shall not accelerate the issuance date of the shares (or any substitute property), but the shares (or substitute property) shall instead be issued on the same schedule as set forth in the Grant Notice as if they had vested in the ordinary course before your Termination of Employment, notwithstanding the vesting acceleration of the Award. Such issuance schedule is intended to satisfy the requirements of payment on a specified date or pursuant to a fixed schedule, as provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(a)(4). (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company explicitly reserves the right to earlier issue the shares in respect of any Award to the extent permitted and in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A, including pursuant to any of the exemptions available in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix). (d) The provisions in this Agreement for delivery of the shares in respect of the Award are intended either to comply with the requirements of Section 409A or to provide a basis for exemption from such requirements so that the delivery of the shares will not trigger the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be so interpreted. 9. DIVIDENDS. You shall receive no benefit or adjustment to your Award with respect to any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution that does not result from a change in capitalization as provided in Section 13 of the U.S. Plan; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to any shares of Common Stock that are delivered to you in connection with your Award after such shares have been delivered to you. 10. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. The shares issued in respect of your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends determined by the Company.


 
6. 3-8-21 11. AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. (a) Nothing in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the vesting of your Award pursuant to the schedule set forth in Section 3 herein or the issuance of the shares in respect of your Award), the Plan or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in this Agreement or the Plan shall: (i) confer upon you any right to continue in the employ of, or affiliation with, the Company or an Affiliate; (ii) constitute any promise or commitment by the Company or an Affiliate regarding the fact or nature of future positions, future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation; (iii) confer any right or benefit under this Agreement or the Plan unless such right or benefit has specifically accrued under the terms of this Agreement or Plan; or (iv) deprive the Company or an Affiliate of the right to terminate your employment without regard to any future vesting opportunity that you may have. (b) By accepting this Award, you acknowledge and agree that the right to continue vesting in the Award pursuant to the schedule set forth in Section 3 is earned only by continuing as an employee, director or consultant of the Company or Affiliate, as applicable (not through the act of being hired, being granted this Award or any other award or benefit) and that the Company has the right to reorganize, sell, spin-out or otherwise restructure one or more of its businesses or Affiliates at any time or from time to time, as it deems appropriate (a “reorganization”). You further acknowledge and agree that such a reorganization could result in your Termination of Employment, or the termination of Affiliate status of your employer and the loss of benefits available to you under this Agreement, including but not limited to, the termination of the right to continue vesting in the Award. You further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement, the Plan, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in any of them do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued engagement as an employee or consultant for the term of this Agreement, for any period, or at all, and shall not interfere in any way with your right or the right of the Company or its Affiliate to terminate your service at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice. 12. NATURE OF AWARD. In accepting your Award, you acknowledge, understand and agree that: (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted under the Plan; (b) the Award is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Awards (whether on the same or different terms), or benefits in lieu of an Award, even if an Award has been granted in the past; (c) all decisions with respect to future awards of French-Qualified RSUs or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;


 
7. 3-8-21 (d) you are voluntarily participating in the Plan; (e) the Award and any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; (f) the future value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Award is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; (g) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from your Termination of Employment (for any reason whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or rendering services or the terms of your employment agreement, if any); (h) unless otherwise provided herein, in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Award and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Award or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of Common Stock; (i) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Award and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service you may provide as a director of an Affiliate; (j) if the Award vests and you are issued shares of Common Stock, the value of such shares of Common stock may increase or decrease in value following the date the shares of Common Stock are issues; even below the Fair Market Value on the date the Award is granted to you; (k) the Award and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments; and (l) the Award and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, and the income and value of same, shall not be included as compensation, earnings, salaries, or other similar terms used when calculating your benefits under any benefit plan sponsored by the Company, except as such plan otherwise expressly provides. The Company expressly reserves its rights to amend, modify, or terminate any of the Company’s benefit plans. 13. TAX OBLIGATIONS. (a) By accepting this Award, you acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or any Affiliate the ultimate liability for any and all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefit tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to


 
8. 3-8-21 your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or its Affiliates, if any. Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or its Affiliates may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences to you of this Award and shall not be liable to you for any adverse tax consequences to you arising in connection with this Award. (b) On or before the time you receive a distribution of Common Stock pursuant to your Award, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize any required withholding from the Common Stock issuable to you and/or otherwise agree to make adequate provision in cash for any sums required to satisfy any and all Tax-Related Items (the “Withholding Obligation”). (c) By accepting this Award, you hereby (i) acknowledge and agree that you have elected a Sell to Cover (as defined in the Grant Notice) to permit you to satisfy the Withholding Obligation and that the Withholding Obligation shall be satisfied pursuant to this Section 13(c) to the fullest extent not otherwise satisfied pursuant to the provisions of Section 13(d) hereof and (ii) further acknowledge and agree to the following provisions: (i) You hereby irrevocably appoint E*TRADE, or such other registered broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority as the Company may select, as your agent (the “Agent”), and you authorize and direct the Agent to: (1) Sell on the open market at the then prevailing market price(s), on your behalf, as soon as practicable on or after the date on which the shares of Common Stock are delivered to you pursuant to Section 8 hereof in connection with the vesting of the French-Qualified RSUs, the number (rounded up to the next whole number) of shares of Common Stock sufficient to generate proceeds to cover (A) the satisfaction of the Withholding Obligation arising from the vesting of those French-Qualified RSUs and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock to you that is not otherwise satisfied pursuant to Section 13(d) hereof and (B) all applicable fees and commissions due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent with respect thereto; (2) Remit directly to the Company and/or any Affiliate the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Withholding Obligation; (3) Retain the amount required to cover all applicable fees and commissions due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent, relating directly to the sale of the shares of Common Stock referred to in clause (1) above; and (4) Remit any remaining funds to you. (ii) You acknowledge that your election to Sell to Cover and the corresponding authorization and instruction to the Agent set forth in this Section 13(c) to sell


 
9. 3-8-21 Common Stock to satisfy the Withholding Obligation is intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) under the Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws and to be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws (your election to Sell to Cover and the provisions of this Section 13(c), collectively, the “10b5-1 Plan”). You acknowledge that by accepting this Award, you are adopting the 10b5-1 Plan to permit you to satisfy the Withholding Obligation. You hereby authorize the Company and the Agent to cooperate and communicate with one another to determine the number of shares of Common Stock that must be sold pursuant to Section 13(c)(i) to satisfy your obligations hereunder. (iii) You acknowledge that the Agent is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of Common Stock at any particular price under this 10b5-1 Plan and that the Agent may effect sales as provided in this 10b5-1 Plan in one or more sales and that the average price for executions resulting from bunched orders may be assigned to your account. You further acknowledge that you will be responsible for all brokerage fees and other costs of sale associated with this 10b5-1 Plan, and you agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale. In addition, you acknowledge that it may not be possible to sell shares of Common Stock as provided for in this 10b5-1 Plan due to (i) a legal or contractual restriction applicable to you or the Agent, (ii) a market disruption, (iii) a sale effected pursuant to this 10b5-1 Plan that would not comply (or in the reasonable opinion of the Agent’s counsel is likely not to comply) with the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws, (iv) the Company’s determination that sales may not be effected under this 10b5-1 Plan or (v) rules governing order execution priority on the national exchange where the Common Stock may be traded. In the event of the Agent’s inability to sell shares of Common Stock, you will continue to be responsible for the timely payment to the Company of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld, including but not limited to those amounts specified in Section 13(c)(i)(1) above. (iv) You acknowledge that regardless of any other term or condition of this 10b5-1 Plan, the Agent will not be liable to you for (A) special, indirect, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, or incidental losses or damages of any kind, or (B) any failure to perform or for any delay in performance that results from a cause or circumstance that is beyond its reasonable control. (v) You hereby agree to execute and deliver to the Agent any other agreements or documents as the Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this 10b5-1 Plan. The Agent is a third-party beneficiary of this Section 13(c) and the terms of this 10b5-1 Plan. (vi) Your election to Sell to Cover and to enter into this 10b5-1 Plan is irrevocable. Upon acceptance of the Award, you have elected to Sell to Cover and to enter into this 10b5-1 Plan, and you acknowledge that you may not change this election at any time in the future. This 10b5-1 Plan shall terminate not later than the date on which the Withholding Obligation arising from the vesting of your French-Qualified RSUs and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock has been satisfied.


 
10. 3-8-21 (d) Alternatively, or in addition to or in combination with the Sell to Cover provided for under Section 13(c), you authorize the Company, at its discretion, to satisfy the Withholding Obligation by the following means (or by a combination of the following means): (i) Requiring you to pay to the Company any portion of the Withholding Obligation in cash; (ii) Withholding from any compensation otherwise payable to you by the Company; and/or (iii) Withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to you in connection with the Award with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the date shares of Common Stock are issued pursuant to Section 8) equal to the amount of the Withholding Obligation. (e) Unless the Withholding Obligation of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver to you any Common Stock. (f) In the event the Withholding Obligation of the Company arises prior to the delivery to you of Common Stock or it is determined after the delivery of Common Stock to you that the amount of the Withholding Obligation was greater than the amount withheld by the Company, you agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any failure by the Company to withhold the proper amount. 14. NO ADVICE REGARDING GRANT. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock. You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, financial and/or legal advisors regarding the consequences of accepting this Award and by signing the Grant Notice, you have agreed that you have done so or knowingly and voluntarily declined to do so. 15. UNSECURED OBLIGATION. Your Award is unfunded, and as a holder of a vested Award, you shall be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue shares pursuant to this Agreement. You shall not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement until such shares are issued to you pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement. Upon such issuance, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or any other person. 16. OTHER DOCUMENTS. You hereby acknowledge receipt or the right to receive a document providing the information required by Rule 428(b)(1) promulgated under the Securities Act, which includes the Plan prospectus. In addition, you acknowledge receipt of the Company’s


 
11. 3-8-21 policy on trading in Company securities permitting employees to sell shares only during certain “window” periods and the Company’s insider trading policy, in effect from time to time. 17. NOTICES; ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE. Any notices provided for in your Award or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to participation in the Plan and this Award by electronic means or to request your consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company, the Agent or another third party designated by the Company and agree notice shall be provided upon posting to your electronic account held by the Company, the Agent or another third party designated by the Company.

CLAWBACK/RECOUPMENT. The Award will be subject to recoupment, rescission, payback, cancelation or other action, in each case, in accordance with (i) any clawback policy adopted by the Company (whether such policy is adopted on or after the date of this Agreement or required under applicable law) and (ii) any such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions set forth in an individual written agreement between you and the Company. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to your right to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company. 19. RESTRICTIONS ON THE SALE OF COMMON STOCK. (a) Minimum Mandatory Holding Period. You will not be permitted to sell or transfer any shares of Common Stock issued at settlement of the French-Qualified RSUs before the end of a minimum mandatory holding period, to the extent applicable to the shares of Common Stock underlying the French-Qualified RSUs under Section L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, or the French Tax Code or the French Social Security Code, as amended, to benefit from the special tax and social security regime in France; provided, however, that such minimum mandatory holding period, if any, shall not apply to shares of Common Stock subject to the French-Qualified RSUs issued to your heirs pursuant to Section 3 hereof or to shares of Common Stock subject to the French-Qualified RSUs after a Termination of Employment due to Disability (as defined under the French RSU Sub-Plan) pursuant to Section 3 hereof. The minimum mandatory holding period is currently two years from the date of grant. (b) Closed Period. The shares of Common Stock issued following any vesting date may not be sold during a Closed Period, to the extent applicable under French law; provided, however, that such Closed Period restriction shall not apply to shares of Common Stock subject to the French-Qualified RSUs issued to your heirs pursuant to Section 3 hereof or to shares of


 
12. 3-8-21 Common Stock subject to the French-Qualified RSUs issued to you after a Termination of Employment due to Disability (as defined under the French RSU Sub-Plan) pursuant to Section 3 hereof. (c) Holding Period for Managing Corporate Officers. If you qualify as a managing corporate officer under French law and have been granted Awards in this capacity (“mandataires sociaux,” i.e. Président du Conseil d’Administration, Directeur Général, Directeur Général Délégué, Membre du Directoire, Gérant de Sociétés par actions), you may be subject to shareholding restrictions under French law and may not sell 20% of the shares of Common Stock upon settlement until you cease to serve as a managing corporate officer. (d) Compliance with Transfer Restrictions on Common Stock. To ensure compliance with restrictions on the transfer of shares of Common Stock described in this Section 19, the Company may require that the shares of Common Stock be held with a brokerage firm or other agent designated by the Company (or according to any procedure implemented by the Company) until such shares of Common Stock are sold. 20. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) The rights and obligations of the Company under your Award shall be transferable by the Company to any one or more persons or entities, and all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Company’s successors and assigns. (b) You agree upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or desirable in the sole determination of the Company to carry out the purposes or intent of your Award. (c) You acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed your Award in its entirety, have had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing and accepting your Award, and fully understand all provisions of your Award. (d) You acknowledge and agree that the Company shall not be liable for any exchange rate fluctuation between your local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of your Award or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement. (e) This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

13. 3-8-21 21. GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT. Your Award is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your Award, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. Except as expressly provided herein, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of your Award and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. 22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and you with respect to the subject matter hereof, with the exception of any arrangement that would provide for vesting acceleration of this Award upon the terms and conditions set forth therein. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the state of Delaware. 23. SEVERABILITY. If all or any part of this Agreement or the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any portion of this Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section of this Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid. 24. DATA PRIVACY. To participate in the Plan, you will need to review the information provided in this Section and, where applicable, declare your consent to the processing of personal data by the Company and third parties noted below. (a) EEA+ Controller and Representative. If you are based in the European Union (“EU”), the European Economic Area, Switzerland or, if and when the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, the United Kingdom (collectively “EEA+”), you should note that the Company, with its registered address at 21823 30th Drive SE Bothell, Washington 98021, United States of America, is the controller responsible for the processing of your personal data in connection with the Agreement and the Plan. The Company’s representative in the EU is Seagen Netherlands B.V., located at Evert van de Beekstraat 1, -140 1118CL Schiphol, Netherlands with office phone: +31 207 99 15 60. (b) Data Collection and Usage. In connection with the administration of the Plan, the Company collects, processes, uses and transfers certain personally-identifiable information about you, which may include your name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to shares of Common Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, settled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor and additional similar or related data, which the Company receives from you or the entity that employs you (“Personal Data”). Specifically, the Company collects, processes and uses Personal Data for the purposes of performing its contractual obligations under this Agreement, implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan and facilitating compliance with applicable tax and securities law.


 
14. 3-8-21 If you are based in the EEA+, the legal basis, where required, for the processing of Personal Data by the Company is the necessity for the Company to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement, (ii) comply with legal obligations established in the EEA+, and/or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of complying with legal obligations established outside of the EEA+. (c) Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Personal Data to E*TRADE Corporate Financial Services, Inc., and E*TRADE Securities LLC (collectively, “E*TRADE”), an independent service provider which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider, which will act in a similar manner, and share Personal Data with such service provider. The Company’s service provider will open an account for you to receive and trade shares. The processing of Personal Data will take place through both electronic and non-electronic means. Personal Data will only be accessible by those individuals requiring access to it for purposes of implementing, administering and operating the Plan. (d) International Data Transfers. The Company and E*TRADE are based in the United States. The country where you live may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. In particular, the United States does not have the same level of protections for personal data as countries in the EEA+. The European Commission requires U.S. companies to protect personal data leaving the EEA+ by implementing safeguards such as the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the EU Commission. If you are based in the EEA+, Personal Data will be transferred from the EEA+ to the Company and onward from the Company to E*TRADE, or if applicable, another service provider, based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. You may request a copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses by contacting dataprotection@seagen.com. (e) Data Retention. The Company will use Personal Data only as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs Personal Data for any of these purposes, the Company will remove it from its systems. (f) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. You may withdraw your consent at any time, with future effect and for any or no reason. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to withdraw your consent, your salary from or employment or service relationship with your employer will not be affected. The only consequence of denying or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Awards to you under the Plan or administer or maintain your participation in the Plan. If you withdraw your consent, the Company will stop processing your Personal Data for the purposes stated in Section (b) above unless to the extent necessary to comply with tax or other legal obligations in connection with Awards granted before you withdrew your consent.


 
15. 3-8-21 (g) Data Subject Rights. You may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in your jurisdiction. Subject to the conditions set out in the applicable law and depending on where you are based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access to, or copies of, Personal Data processed by the Company, (ii) rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) deletion of Personal Data, (iv) restrict the processing of Personal Data, (v) object to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, (vi) portability of Personal Data, (vii) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your jurisdiction, and/or to (viii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, you can contact dataprotection@seagen.com. (h) Necessary Disclosure of Personal Data. You understand that providing the Company with Personal Data is necessary for the performance of this Agreement and that your refusal to provide Personal Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and would affect your ability to participate in the Plan. 25. INSIDER TRADING RESTRICTIONS/MARKET ABUSE LAWS. You acknowledge that, depending on your country, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect your ability to acquire or sell the shares of Common Stock or rights to the shares of Common Stock under the Plan during such times as you are considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in your country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and you are advised to speak to your personal advisor on this matter. 26. FOREIGN ASSET/ACCOUNT AND TAX REPORTING, EXCHANGE CONTROLS. If you hold cash or shares of Common Stock outside of France or maintain a foreign bank or brokerage account (including accounts that were opened and closed during the tax year), you are required to report such assets and accounts to the French tax authorities on an annual basis on a specified form together with your income tax return. Failure to complete this reporting can trigger significant penalties. 27. WAIVER. You acknowledge that a waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of this Agreement. 28. LANGUAGE. By accepting this Award, you confirm having read and understood the Plan and the Agreement which were provided in the English language. You accept the terms of those documents accordingly. En acceptant l’attribution, vous confirmez avoir lu et compris le Plan et ce Contrat, qui ont été communiqués en langue anglaise. Vous acceptez les termes de ces documents en connaissance de cause.


 
16. 3-8-21 29. GOVERNING LAW/VENUE. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement will be governed by the law of the State of Delaware without regard to that state’s conflicts of laws rules. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought due to your participation in the Plan, relating to it, or arising from it, you hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action, suit or proceeding, in a New York state court in the County of New York), and no other courts, where this Award is granted and/or to be performed. 30. IMPOSITION OF OTHER REQUIREMENTS. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in the Plan, and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require you to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. 31. AMENDMENT. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by you and by a duly authorized representative of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended solely by the Administrator by a writing which specifically states that it is amending this Agreement, so long as a copy of such amendment is delivered to you, and provided that no such amendment adversely affecting your rights hereunder may be made without your written consent, except as otherwise provided in the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator reserves the right to change, by written notice to you, the provisions of this Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the grant as a result of any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling, or judicial decision, provided that any such change shall be applicable only to rights relating to that portion of the Award which is then subject to restrictions as provided herein.

SEAGEN INC. PARTICIPANT: By: (Signature) Name: Clay Siegall, PhD Title: President & CEO Date: Date:


 
1. 3-8-2021 SEAGEN INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED 2007 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT Pursuant to the Stock Unit Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”) and in consideration of your services, Seagen Inc. (the “Company”) has awarded you a Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) under its Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Your Award is granted to you effective as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Grant Notice for this Award. This Agreement shall be deemed to be agreed to by the Company and you upon the signing by you of the Stock Unit Grant Notice to which it is attached. Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement shall have the same meanings given to them in the Plan or the Grant Notice, as applicable. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein, in the event of any conflict between the terms in this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. The details of your Award, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice and the Plan, are as follows. 1. GRANT OF THE AWARD. This Award represents the right to be issued on a future date the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that is equal to the number of stock units indicated in the Grant Notice (the “Stock Units”). As of the Date of Grant, the Company will credit to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company for your benefit (the “Account”) the number of Stock Units subject to the Award. This Award was granted in consideration of your services to the Company. Except as otherwise provided herein, you will not be required to make any payment to the Company (other than past and future services to the Company) with respect to your receipt of the Award, the vesting of the Stock Units or the delivery of the Common Stock to be issued in respect of the Award. 2. VESTING. Subject to the limitations contained herein, your Award will vest, if at all, in accordance with the vesting schedule provided in the Grant Notice, provided that you have not incurred a Termination of Employment before the vesting date set forth in the Grant Notice. Upon your Termination of Employment, the Stock Units credited to the Account that were not vested on the date of such Termination of Employment will be forfeited at no cost to the Company and you will have no further right, title or interest in the Stock Units or the shares of Common Stock to be issued in respect of the Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of your Termination of Employment as a result of your death or Disability, the vesting of your Award shall accelerate such that your Award shall become vested as to an additional twelve (12) months, effective as of the date of such Termination of Employment, to the extent that your Award is outstanding on such date.


 
2. 3-8-2021 In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), the vesting of your Award (if your Award is outstanding at such time) shall be accelerated in full immediately prior to the effective time of the Change in Control. 3. NUMBER OF SHARES. (a) The number of Stock Units subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time for changes in capitalization, as provided in Section 13 of the Plan. (b) Any additional Stock Units that become subject to the Award pursuant to this Section 3 shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Administrator, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other Stock Units covered by your Award. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, no fractional shares or rights for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be created pursuant to this Section 3. The Administrator shall, in its discretion, determine an equivalent benefit for any fractional shares or fractional shares that might be created by the adjustments referred to in this Section 3. 4. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. You may not be issued any shares in respect of your Award unless either (i) the shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Your Award also must comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you will not receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations. You represent and warrant that you (a) have been furnished with a copy of the prospectus for the Plan and all information deemed necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of receipt of the Award, (b) have had the opportunity to ask questions concerning the information received about the Award and the Company, and (c) have been given the opportunity to obtain any information you deem necessary to verify the accuracy of any information obtained concerning the Award and the Company. 5. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Your Award is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws, you agree not to assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any interest in any of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award until the shares are issued to you in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement. After the shares have been issued to you, you are free to assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any interest in such shares provided that any such actions are in compliance with the provisions herein and applicable securities laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, you may designate a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to receive any distribution of Common Stock to which you were entitled at the time of your death pursuant to this Agreement.


 
3. 3-8-2021 6. DATE OF ISSUANCE. (a) If the Award is exempt from application of Section 409A of the Code and any state law of similar effect (collectively “Section 409A”), the Company will deliver to you a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to the number of vested Stock Units subject to your Award, including any additional Stock Units received pursuant to Section 3 above that relate to those vested Stock Units on the applicable vesting date (the “Original Issuance Date”). However, if the Original Issuance Date falls on a date that is not a business day, such delivery date shall instead fall on the next following business day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Original Issuance Date does not occur (1) during an “open window period” applicable to you, as determined by the Company in accordance with the Company’s then-effective policy or policies on trading in Company securities or (2) on a date when you are otherwise permitted to sell shares of Common Stock on the open market; and (ii) the Company elects, prior to the Original Issuance Date, not to satisfy the Withholding Obligation (as defined in Section 10(a) hereof), if any, by (x) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares otherwise due, on the Original Issuance Date, to you under this Award pursuant to Section 10 hereof, (y) permitting you to sell shares of Common Stock pursuant to a written plan that meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, or (z) permitting you to satisfy the Withholding Obligation in cash, then such shares shall not be delivered on such Original Issuance Date and shall instead be delivered on the first business day of the next occurring open window period applicable to you or the next business day when you are not prohibited from selling shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the open market, as applicable (and regardless of whether there has been a Termination of Employment before such time), but in no event later than the 15th day of the third calendar month of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Stock Units vest. Delivery of the shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6(a) is intended to comply with the requirements for the short-term deferral exemption available under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A- 1(b)(4) and shall be construed and administered in such manner. The form of such delivery of the shares (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) shall be determined by the Company. (b) The provisions of this Section 6(b) are intended to apply if the Award is subject to Section 409A because of the terms of a severance arrangement or other agreement between you and the Company, if any, that provide for acceleration of vesting of the Award upon your separation from service (as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code (“Separation from Service”) and such severance benefit does not satisfy the requirements for an exemption from application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) or 1.409A-1(b)(9) (“Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement”). If the Award is subject to and not exempt from application of Section 409A due to application of a Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement, the following provisions in this Section 6(b) shall supersede anything to the contrary in Section 6(a). (i) If the Award vests in the ordinary course before your Termination of Employment in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice, without accelerating vesting under the terms of a Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement, in no event will


 
4. 3-8-2021 the shares to be issued in respect of your Award be issued any later than the later of: (A) December 31st of the calendar year that includes the applicable vesting date and (B) the 60th day that follows the applicable vesting date. (ii) If vesting of the Award accelerates under the terms of a Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement in connection with your Separation from Service, and such vesting acceleration provisions were in effect as of the date of grant of the Award and, therefore, are part of the terms of the Award as of the date of grant, then the shares will be earlier issued in respect of your Award upon your Separation from Service in accordance with the terms of the Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement, but in no event later than the 60th day that follows the date of your Separation from Service. However, if at the time the shares would otherwise be issued you are subject to the distribution limitations contained in Section 409A applicable to “specified employees,” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such shares shall not be issued before the date that is six months following the date of your Separation from Service, or, if earlier, the date of your death that occurs within such six-month period. (iii) If either (A) vesting of the Award accelerates under the terms of a Non-Exempt Severance Arrangement in connection with your Separation from Service, and such vesting acceleration provisions were not in effect as of the date of grant of the Award and, therefore, are not a part of the terms of the Award on the date of grant, or (B) vesting accelerates pursuant to Section 3(b)4(b) or Section 13 of the Plan, then such acceleration of vesting of the Award shall not accelerate the issuance date of the shares (or any substitute property), but the shares (or substitute property) shall instead be issued on the same schedule as set forth in the Grant Notice as if they had vested in the ordinary course before your Termination of Employment, notwithstanding the vesting acceleration of the Award. Such issuance schedule is intended to satisfy the requirements of payment on a specified date or pursuant to a fixed schedule, as provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(a)(4). (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company explicitly reserves the right to earlier issue the shares in respect of any Award to the extent permitted and in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A, including pursuant to any of the exemptions available in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix). (d) The provisions in this Agreement for delivery of the shares in respect of the Award are intended either to comply with the requirements of Section 409A or to provide a basis for exemption from such requirements so that the delivery of the shares will not trigger the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be so interpreted. 7. DIVIDENDS. You shall receive no benefit or adjustment to your Award with respect to any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution that does not result from a change in capitalization as provided in Section 13 of the Plan; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to any shares of Common Stock that are delivered to you in connection with your Award after such shares have been delivered to you.


 
5. 3-8-2021 8. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. The shares issued in respect of your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends determined by the Company. 9. AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. (a) Your service with the Company or an Affiliate is not for any specified term and may be terminated by you or by the Company or an Affiliate at any time, for any reason, with or without cause and with or without notice. Nothing in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the vesting of your Award pursuant to the schedule set forth in Section 2 herein or the issuance of the shares in respect of your Award), the Plan or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in this Agreement or the Plan shall: (i) confer upon you any right to continue in the service of, or affiliation with, the Company or an Affiliate; (ii) constitute any promise or commitment by the Company or an Affiliate regarding the fact or nature of future positions, future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of service or affiliation; (iii) confer any right or benefit under this Agreement or the Plan unless such right or benefit has specifically accrued under the terms of this Agreement or Plan; or (iv) deprive the Company or an Affiliate of the right to terminate you at will and without regard to any future vesting opportunity that you may have. (b) By accepting this Award, you acknowledge and agree that the right to continue vesting in the Award pursuant to the schedule set forth in Section 2 is earned only by continuing as an employee, director or consultant at the will of the Company (not through the act of being hired, being granted this Award or any other award or benefit) and that the Company has the right to reorganize, sell, spin-out or otherwise restructure one or more of its businesses or Affiliates at any time or from time to time, as it deems appropriate (a “reorganization”). You further acknowledge and agree that such a reorganization could result in your Termination of Employment, or the termination of Affiliate status with the Company and the loss of benefits available to you under this Agreement, including but not limited to, the termination of the right to continue vesting in the Award. You further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement, the Plan, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in any of them do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued engagement as an employee or consultant for the term of this Agreement, for any period, or at all, and shall not interfere in any way with your right or the Company’s right to terminate your service at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice. 10. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS. (a) On or before the time you receive a distribution of Common Stock pursuant to your Award, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize any required withholding from the Common Stock issuable to you and/or otherwise agree to make adequate provision in cash for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or any Affiliate which arise in connection with your Award (the “Withholding Obligation”), if any.


 
6. 3-8-2021 (b) Additionally, the Company may, at its discretion, satisfy the Withholding Obligation, if any, by the following means (or by a combination of the following means): (i) Requiring you to pay to the Company any portion of the Withholding Obligation in cash; (ii) Withholding from any compensation otherwise payable to you by the Company; (iii) Withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to you in connection with the Award with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the date shares of Common Stock are issued pursuant to Section 6) equal to the amount of the Withholding Obligation; provided, however, that the number of such shares of Common Stock so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s or Affiliate’s required tax withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income (or such other amount as may be permitted while still avoiding classification of the Award as a liability for financial accounting purposes); and/or (iv) Permitting you to enter into a “same day sale” commitment with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”) whereby you irrevocably elect to sell a portion of the shares to be delivered in connection with your Award to satisfy the Withholding Obligation and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Withholding Obligation directly to the Company and/or its Affiliates. (c) Unless the Withholding Obligation, if any, of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver to you any Common Stock.
