The Company has one contract with a customer, which is the GSK Collaboration and License Agreement. The GSK Collaboration and License Agreement consists of multiple performance obligations. In 2019, GSK nominated a third target under the Collaboration and License Agreement. Development of products to this target commenced during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The amount of the transaction price probable of being received that is allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at September 30, 2019 was $2.7 million. The revenue allocated to the third target program will be recognized over an estimated period up to the end of 2020 as the development of products to the target progresses.

The Company received $3.2 million from GSK following the nomination of the third target. Under the terms of the GSK Collaboration and License Agreement, the Company may also be entitled to development and regulatory milestones. The development and regulatory milestones are per product milestones and are dependent on achievement of certain obligations, the nature of the product being developed, stage of development of product, territory in which an obligation is achieved and type of indication or indications in relation to which the product is being developed. In addition, for any program multiple products may be developed to address different HLA-types. These amounts have not been included within the transaction price as of September 30, 2019 because they are not considered probable.

The Company may also receive commercialization milestones upon the first commercial sale of a product based on the indication and the territory and mid-single to low double-digit royalties on worldwide net sales. These amounts have not been included within the transaction price as of September 30, 2019 because they are sales or usage-based royalties promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property, which will be recognized when the subsequent sale or usage occurs.

Development and license revenue recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 related to development of the second target program, PRAME, which ended in 2018, and the NY-ESO program, which was transferred to GSK on July 23, 2018.
