Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 6, 2026, Nurix Therapeutics, Inc. (“Nurix”) entered into a License and Collaboration Agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”), dated as of June 8, 2026, with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. and Genentech, Inc. (collectively, “Roche”), pursuant to which Nurix will grant Roche an exclusive worldwide license, including with respect to Nurix and its affiliates, under certain Nurix intellectual property rights to develop, manufacture, commercialize and otherwise exploit bexobrutideg (NX-5948), Nurix’s investigational, oral, brain-penetrant small molecule degrader of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK), and products comprising or containing bexobrutideg (collectively, “bexobrutideg”), subject to limited licenses Roche will grant to Nurix to perform Nurix’s development, manufacturing, commercialization and other activities under the Collaboration Agreement.
Under the Collaboration Agreement, Nurix and Roche will co-develop and co-commercialize bexobrutideg in the United States across all indications, and Roche will be responsible for developing and commercializing bexobrutideg outside the United States.
Under the Collaboration Agreement, Roche will make an upfront cash payment of $700.0 million to Nurix, and Nurix will be eligible to receive development, regulatory, and sales milestone payments, with total potential payments of up to $2.3 billion, including the upfront payment. Development costs under the global development plan will be shared 40% by Nurix and 60% by Roche, subject to specified exceptions. Nurix and Roche will equally share profits and losses from U.S. commercialization and Nurix will be eligible to receive tiered royalties at rates ranging from the low teens to the high teens on ex-U.S. sales.
Under the Collaboration Agreement, Roche will have primary responsibility for certain regulatory, manufacturing and commercialization activities, subject to specified Nurix participation rights in the United States.
The Collaboration Agreement will become effective upon the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), and the expiration, termination or resolution of all other required waiting periods, clearance decisions or outstanding inquiries under antitrust laws.
The Collaboration Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, covenants, and indemnification obligations for a transaction of this nature.
Subject to earlier termination in certain circumstances, the Collaboration Agreement expires on a product-by-product basis in the United States upon expiration of the applicable profit/loss share term, and on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis outside the United States upon expiration of the applicable royalty term. Upon expiration of the applicable term, Roche’s license for the applicable product in the applicable country will remain exclusive and become fully paid-up, irrevocable, perpetual and royalty-free.
The foregoing description of the material terms of the Collaboration Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Collaboration Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to Nurix’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending August 31, 2026.

establishing and maintaining a commercialization organization in the United States; (v) risks and uncertainties related to regulatory review of the Nurix-Roche collaboration, including under the HSR Act, the potential that required waiting periods, clearance decisions or outstanding inquiries under antitrust laws may not expire, be terminated or be resolved on the anticipated timeline or at all, the potential for delays or conditions in connection with obtaining any required antitrust approvals or clearances, and the potential that the Collaboration Agreement may not become effective; (vi) whether the parties will be able to successfully co-commercialize bexobrutideg in the United States, including Nurix’s ability to establish and maintain a commercialization organization and the parties’ ability to align on commercial strategy and manage the operational complexities of a shared commercial model; (vii) risks and uncertainties relating to the timing and receipt of payments from Nurix’s collaboration partners, including milestone payments and royalties on future potential product sales; and (viii) those risks and uncertainties identified in Nurix’s filings with the SEC, including its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 28, 2026, filed with the SEC on April 8, 2026, and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
