Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 11, 2024, Relay Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice of termination of the Collaboration and License Agreement, dated December 11, 2020, as amended from time to time (the “Agreement”), with Genentech, Inc. and F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd (collectively, “Genentech”). Genentech elected to terminate the Agreement without cause, and the termination will become effective 180 days after the date of receipt of the notice of termination (the “Termination Date”).

Under the Agreement, the Company and Genentech (each a “Party” and together, the “Parties”) collaborate on the development and commercialization of RLY-1971 (now referred to as migoprotafib or GDC-1971), the Company’s oral, small molecule inhibitor of Src homology region 2 domain-containing phosphatase-2. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company received aggregate consideration of $121.8 million from Genentech, including $75.0 million in an upfront payment, $45.0 million in milestone payments as well as reimbursement of certain research and development costs.

As a result of the termination of the Agreement, the Company will not be entitled to receive any further milestones or other payments due after the Termination Date. The Parties will also cease to have any development or commercialization obligations after the Termination Date and the licenses the Company granted to Genentech pursuant to the Agreement will cease to be in effect as of the Termination Date. Other material terms of the Agreement not related to termination are set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The foregoing description of the termination of the Agreement is only a summary of the material terms thereof, and does not purport to be complete. The description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement which the Company filed as Exhibits 10.17 and 10.18 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2023.
