Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 28, 2014, KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) and Sanofi Pasteur S.A. (“Sanofi Pasteur”) agreed to terminate the Development, Commercialization, Collaboration and License Agreement, dated as of January 8, 2010 and amended on January 1, 2012 and July 1, 2012, between the parties (the “Development Agreement”). Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the Company had granted to Sanofi Pasteur an exclusive worldwide license to develop and commercialize KB001 (the precursor molecule to KB001-A) and KB001-A, subject to the Company’s right to develop KB001-A in the field of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) infections in patients with cystic fibrosis or bronchiectasis.

The termination of the Development Agreement was effected pursuant to a Termination Agreement entered into between the parties on July 28, 2014 (the “Termination Agreement”), with the termination of the Development Agreement effective as of July 24, 2014.

Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, the Company regains full rights to, and assumes all responsibility for the further development, manufacture and commercialization of KB001-A, an investigational new biologic for the treatment and prevention of Pa infections. The Company agreed to pay Sanofi Pasteur tiered royalties at low single-digit rates on future net sales of KB001-A, subject to a $40 million cap on the aggregate royalties to be paid. The tiered royalty rates in the agreement increase when cumulative net sales exceed $500 million. In addition to these royalty payments, the Company agreed to pay up to ten percent (10%) of certain sublicense payments or other milestone payments the Company may receive, subject to a separate $40 million cap on such payments.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information in Item 1.01 above is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 1.02.
