BioArctic AB (publ) (Nasdaq Stockholm: BIOA B) today announced that Novartis Pharma AG has notified BioArctic that it has decided to terminate the Option, Collaboration and License Agreement entered into in August 2025 to explore a potential new treatment combining BioArctic's proprietary BrainTransporter™ technology with an undisclosed Novartis proprietary antibody.

The termination is the result of a Novartis decision to discontinue the program, unrelated to BioArctic's BrainTransporter technology.

BioArctic will retain the full USD 30 million upfront payment and, as a result of the termination, will recognize the remaining unrecognized portion as revenue in 2026.
