Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 24, 2017, MacroGenics, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an exclusive global collaboration and license agreement (the "Agreement") with Incyte Corporation ("Incyte") for the Company's MGA012 molecule, an investigational monoclonal antibody (mAb) that inhibits programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1). Under the terms of the Agreement, Incyte has obtained exclusive worldwide rights from the Company for the development and commercialization of MGA012 in all indications, while the Company retains the right to develop its pipeline assets in combination with MGA012. Further, the Company retains the right to manufacture a portion of both companies' global clinical and commercial supply needs of MGA012.  The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017, subject to the early termination or expiration of any applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and customary closing conditions.
Upon closing, Incyte will pay the Company an upfront payment of $150 million.  The Company will also be eligible to receive up to an additional $750 million in potential clinical, regulatory and sales milestone payments related to MGA012. In addition, the Company will be eligible to receive royalty payments based on global net sales of MGA012 by Incyte.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2017.
