PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 6.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Under Swiss law, a corporation may indemnify its directors or officers against losses and expenses (except for such losses and expenses arising from willful misconduct or negligence, although legal scholars advocate that at least gross negligence be required), including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts actually and reasonably incurred in a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding by reason of having been the representative of, or serving at the request of, the corporation.

Subject to Swiss law, Article 29 of our articles of association provides for indemnification of the existing and former members of our board of directors, executive management, and their heirs, executors and administrators, against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties in such capacity, and permits us to advance the expenses of defending any act, suit or proceeding to members of our board of directors and executive management.

In addition, under general principles of Swiss employment law, an employer may be required to indemnify an employee against losses and expenses incurred by such employee in the proper execution of their duties under the employment agreement with the company.

We intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of the members of our board of directors and executive officers in the form to be filed as an exhibit to this Registration Statement upon the closing of this offering.

In the underwriting agreement that we enter into in connection with the sale of the common shares being registered hereby, a form of which will be filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Registration Statement, the underwriter will agree to indemnify, under certain conditions, us, our directors, our officers and persons who control us within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Act, against certain liabilities.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 7.

Undertakings

The undersigned hereby undertakes:

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post- effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Dans la mesure, cependant, où une Personne Couverte a gagné sur le fond ou autrement dans la défense d’une procédure, ou dans la défense de toute réclamation, problème ou affaire dans cette procédure, cette Personne Couverte doit être indemnisée pour les dépenses (y compris les honoraires d’avocat) effectivement et raisonnablement encourus dans le cadre de l’affarie en question sans qu’il soit nécessaire d’avoir une autorisation dans le cas spécifique.

It being the policy of the Company that indemnification of the persons specified in this Article 29 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law and the indemnification provided by this Article 29 shall not be deemed exclusive (a) of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under these Articles of Association, any agreement, any insurance purchased by the Company,				La politique de la société prévoit que l’indemnisation des personnes visées au présent article 29 doit être payée dans toute la mesure autorisée par la loi et l’indemnisation prévue par cet article 29 ne sera pas considérée comme exclusive (a) d’autres droits auxquels les personnes demandant une indemnisation ou une avance des dépenses ont droit en vertu de ces statuts, d’un accord, d’une assurance souscrite par la société,

6.2 Additional Financial Terms.

6.2.1 Currency. All payments to be made under this Agreement shall be made in United States dollars. Upon ACI’s request Genentech shall pay royalties to ACI in an alternate currency corresponding to actual Net Sales provided that such payment does not impose any additional expense on Genentech. Amounts invoiced in a currency other than dollars must be expressed in the United States dollar equivalent as well as any local currency. Net Sales outside of the United States shall be first determined in the currency in which they are earned and shall then be converted into an amount in United States dollars. All currency conversions shall use the conversion rate reported by the last print edition of Reuters, Ltd. on [*****] for which such payment is being determined.

6.2. Payment Type. Amounts paid by one Party to the other under this Agreement shall be paid in U.S. dollars, in immediately available funds, by means of wire transfer to an account identified by the payee.

6.2.3 Withholding of Taxes. Each Party may withhold from payments due to the other Party amounts for payment of any withholding tax that is required by law to be paid to any taxing authority with respect to such payments. The Party withholding the tax shall provide to the other Party all relevant documents and correspondence, and shall also provide to the Party from whose payment that tax was withheld any other cooperation or assistance on a reasonable basis as may be necessary to enable that Party subject to withholding to claim exemption from such withholding taxes and to receive a full refund of such withholding tax or claim a foreign tax credit. The Party withholding the tax shall give proper evidence from time to time as to the payment of such tax. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in seeking deductions under any double taxation or other similar treaty or agreement from time to time in force. Such cooperation may include Genentech making payments from a single source in the U.S., where possible.

6.2.4 Late Payments. Any amounts not paid within [*****] days after the date due under this Agreement are subject to interest from the date due through and including the date upon which payment is received. Interest is calculated, over the period between the date due and the date paid, at a rate equal to [*****]

6.2.5 Blocked Currency. If, at any time, legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of part or all royalties with respect to any country where a Licensed Product is sold, payment shall be made through such lawful means or methods as the Party paying may determine. When in any country, the law or regulations prohibit both the transmittal and deposit of royalties or other payments, the Party paying shall continue to report all such amounts, but may suspend payment for as long as such prohibition is in effect. As soon as such prohibition ceases to be in effect, all amounts that would have been obligated to be transmitted or deposited, but for the prohibition, shall forthwith be deposited or transmitted promptly.

6.3 Accounts and Audit.

6.3.1 Records. Each Party shall keep full, true and accurate books of account containing the particulars of Net Sales, the calculation of royalties and Research Support Payments for FTEs.

6.3.2 Appointment of Auditor. Each Party may appoint an internationally-recognized independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the audited Party to inspect the relevant books of account of the audited Party to verify any reports or statements provided, or amounts paid or invoiced (as appropriate), by that audited Party. The independent accounting firm (and any individuals, if applicable) appointed to perform the examination under this Agreement must execute a confidential disclosure agreement with the audited Party, or otherwise be subject to terms governing non-use and non-disclosure of information that the audited Party has agreed in writing are acceptable.

6.3.3 Procedures for Audit. Each Party may exercise its right to have the other Party’s relevant records examined only during the [*****] year period during which the audited Party is required to maintain records, no more than once in any consecutive [*****] calendar quarter period, and only once with respect to records covering any specific period of time.

Contested amounts are subject to dispute resolution under Article 13. If the total amount of any underpayment (as agreed to by the audited Party or as determined under Article 13) exceeds [*****] of the amount previously paid by the audited Party for the period subject to audit (as long as that period is at least [*****] consecutive calendar quarters), then the audited Party shall pay the reasonable costs for the audit.

6.4 Rights Regarding Consolidation of ACI Financial Data. If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement would, in Genentech’s opinion and with the concurrence of Genentech’s independent auditors, require Genentech to consolidate ACI within Genentech’s financial statements in order to comply with Accounting Standards in effect at that time, then upon Genentech’s request, ACI shall provide to Genentech (a) ACI’s unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (i.e., balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows) for each calendar quarter within [*****] days after the end of the calendar quarter, and (b) subject to the obligations under Article 12 regarding Confidential Information, ACI’s forecasted results for a given calendar quarter, based on its best available estimates, no earlier than [*****] days prior to, and no later than [*****] days prior to, the close of such calendar quarter.

FINAL EXECUTION DOCUMENT

a Genentech Licensee outside the United States shall survive termination of this Agreement under this Section 9.3.1, provided that such Genentech Licensee (i) is not, on the effective date of such termination, in breach of any provisions of its sublicense agreement that materially affect ACI; (ii) agrees, in a subsequent writing, to perform and deliver directly to ACI all obligations and payments that would be due to ACI under this Agreement with respect to matters within the scope of such sublicense; and (iii) agrees, in a subsequent writing, that, regardless of Genentech’s rights and obligations to such Genentech Licensee under such sublicense, ACI’s rights and obligations to such Genentech Licensee shall be no different than ACI’s rights and obligations to Genentech under this Agreement

9.3.2 Upon termination by Genentech pursuant to Section 9.2.1 for material breach by ACI, Section 9.2.2, or Section 9.2.4, Genentech may elect, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement in its entirety or to partially terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 9.3.2 (a).

(a) Partial Termination. Upon Genentech’s election to partially terminate this Agreement, (i) all rights and licenses granted to ACI under Article 4 shall immediately terminate, (ii) the rights and obligations of the Parties under the following sections of this Agreement shall survive such termination: Articles 3 (except Section 3.1.4), 4 (except Section 4.2), 5 (except Section 5.2), 6 (except Section 6.1.1), 7, 8, 9, 10 11, 12, 13, and 14, but in all cases the surviving provisions shall be interpreted to exclude the subject matter of non-surviving terms, and (iii) all Genentech Confidential Information, data and materials provided to ACI under this Agreement shall be returned to Genentech or destroyed, at Genentech’s option.

(b) Partial Termination Upon Specific Breach Events. In the case that the ACI breach that gave rise to a partial termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.3.2(a) was a breach of any of the following provisions: Sections 2.3.2 (except to the extent that the breach of the provision by ACI is based on the unavailability of biological material due to a scientific or technical obstacle, i.e., destruction of a cell line, not caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of ACI), 3.1.1, 4.1, 4.3.1, 8.2, 10.1 (except Section 10.1.1(e)) or Article 12, then, (i) the surviving provision set forth in Section 9.3.2(a) shall be modified to provide that Section 3.2 will not survive such partial termination; (ii) upon the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product by Genentech, the payments made by Genentech under Sections 5.3 and 5.4 shall be creditable against royalty payments due to ACI under Sections 5.5 and 5.6 subject to clause (c)(i) of this Section 9.3.2: and (iii) Genentech shall have no obligation to pay royalties on Net Sales of Licensed Product under Sections 5.5.3 or 5.6.2, subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 9.3.2.

(c) Upon the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product by Genentech, ACI may initiate an arbitration procedure under Section 13.2 for the limited determinations described in the following clauses (i) and (ii), in both cases where ACI has the burden of proof.

(i) Milestone Offsets. If ACI establishes that the total damage amount suffered by Genentech resulting from ACI’s material breach that was the basis of Genentech’s partial termination under Section 9.3.2(b) were less than the total of the milestone payments made to ACI under Sections 5.3 and 5.4, then Genentech shall only be entitled to credit such total damage amount against royalty payments due to ACI under Sections 5.5 and 5.6.

(ii) Royalty. If ACI establishes that the material breach that was the basis of Genentech’s partial termination under Section 9.3.2(b) did not have a material adverse effect on the value on the scope, validity or enforceability of the ACI IP Rights or the market exclusivity granted by such rights, in each case in the Genentech Field, then notwithstanding clause (iii) of Section 9.3.2(b), Genentech’s obligation to pay royalties to ACI in accordance with Sections 5.5.3 or 5.6.2 shall continue.

13.1 Disputes. This Agreement is made on the basis of mutual confidence, and it is understood that the differences, if any, during the life of this Agreement should freely be discussed between the two Parties. The Parties shall initially attempt in good faith to resolve any significant controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or its interpretation, performance, nonperformance or any breach of any respective obligations hereunder (hereinafter collectively referred to as a “Dispute”) through negotiations between senior executives of ACI and Genentech (or their respective designee). If the Dispute is not resolved within [*****] days (or such other period of time mutually agreed upon by the Parties) of commencing such face-to-face negotiations, or if the Party against which a claim has been asserted refuses to attend such negotiations or does not otherwise participate in such negotiations within [*****] days (or such other period of time mutually agreed upon by the Parties) from the date of notice of a Dispute, either Party may, by written notice to the other, invoke the provisions of Section 13.2.

13.2 Arbitration. Subject to Sections 13.1 and 13.3, the Parties agree to resolve any Dispute exclusively through binding arbitration conducted under the auspices of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) pursuant to the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce then in effect (the “ICC Rules”). The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language before [*****] arbitrators appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules; provided that at least one such arbitrator shall have had, by the time of the actual arbitration, at least [*****] years of experience as an attorney and experience in the pharmaceuticals industry so as to better understand the legal, business and scientific issues addressed in the arbitration. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, any arbitration hereunder it shall be brought at the location of the Party which first received the notice required under Section 13.1. Unless agreed otherwise by the Parties, the Parties shall have [*****] days from the appointment of the last to be appointed of the [*****] arbitrators to present and/or submit their positions to the arbitrators, and the Parties shall have a hearing before the arbitrators within [*****] business days of such submission. The arbitrators shall hear evidence by each Party and resolve each of the issues identified by the Parties. The arbitrators shall be instructed and required to render a written, binding, non-appealable resolution and award on each issue which clearly states the basis upon which such resolution and award is made. The written resolution and award shall be delivered to the Parties as expeditiously as possible, but in no event more than [*****] days after conclusion of the hearing, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties. The Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to keep arbitration costs to a minimum. Each Party must bear its own attorneys’ fees and associated costs and expenses, as well as an equal share of the fees and costs incurred by ICC and the arbitrators. The Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to make witnesses available for the proceedings.

13.3 Subject Matter Exclusions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Sections 13.1 and 13.2 shall not apply to any Dispute relating to: (i) any antitrust, anti-monopoly or competition law or regulation, whether or not statutory; or (ii) the determination of validity of claims or claim interpretation relating to a Party’s patents, trademarks or copyright. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provision of this Section 13.3, any Dispute relating to Genentech and/or its Affiliate(s)’s assertion of

13.4 Equitable Relief. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed as preventing the Parties from seeking injunctive relief (or other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over the Parties and the subject matter of the dispute as necessary to protect either Party’s interests.

ARTICLE 14: MISCELLANEOUS

14.1 Assignment and Delegation. Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder shall be assignable in whole or in part, whether by operation of law, or otherwise by ACI without the prior written consent of Genentech. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ACI may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Person that succeeds to all or substantially all of ACI’s business or assets whether by sale, merger, operation of law or otherwise.

THIS LICENSE AND COLLABORATION AGREEMENT (hereinafter “Agreement”) is effective as of May 7, 2014 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Piramal Imaging Ltd., incorporated under the Laws of England and Wales, having its principal place of business at 23, Science Park, Cambridge-CB4 0EY, United Kingdom (hereinafter “Piramal Imaging Ltd”), and its parent company, Piramal Imaging SA, incorporated under the laws of Switzerland, having its principal place of business at Route de l’Ecole, c/o Pascal Nguyen, 1753 Matran, Switzerland (hereinafter “Piramal Imaging SA”) (Piramal Imaging Ltd and Piramal Imaging SA hereinafter together referred to as “Piramal”), and AC Immune SA, incorporated under the laws of Switzerland, having its principal place of business at EPFL Innovation Park, Building B, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland (hereinafter “AC Immune”) (each AC Immune and Piramal hereinafter referred to individually as a “Party” and jointly as the “Parties”).

WHEREAS, AC Immune is a leader in the discovery and development of novel therapeutics for the treatment and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”) and has discovered using its Morphomer™ chemistry platform and is developing certain potential therapeutic and diagnostic compounds targeting proteins implicated in the pathology of AD, including Tau protein.

WHEREAS, AC Immune has identified a series of compounds that bind selectively to Tau protein; and one or more of such compounds may, if modified to include a radioactive isotope, be useful as a positron emission tomography (“PET”) imaging agent that would bind selectively to Tau protein and aid the detection and monitoring of AD and other neurodegenerative diseases.

WHEREAS, Piramal Imaging SA is an innovator in the discovery, development and commercialization of novel imaging agents for molecular imaging, including PET neuroimaging agents that bind selectively to a protein.

WHEREAS, Piramal Imaging SA is interested in collaborating with AC Immune to evaluate and develop certain of AC Immune’s Tau protein selective compounds as a PET imaging agent that binds selectively to Tau protein for detection and monitoring of Tau protein in patients with AD and other neurodegenerative diseases.

WHEREAS, if such development efforts are successful, Piramal Imaging Ltd, under license from Piramal Imaging SA, wishes to manufacture and commercialize a Tau protein selective PET imaging agent as a diagnostic commercial product, including for use in [*****] pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies’ clinical trials for potential therapeutic products directed to AD and other diseases where Tau protein has been implicated.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements provided herein below and other consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 14

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

14.1

General. Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled, if possible, through good faith negotiations between the Parties.

Janssen will provide such reports to ACI no later than [*****] day following the last day of each Calendar Quarter. Royalties shown to have accrued by each royalty report are due and payable to ACI on [*****] day following the end of such Calendar Quarter.

9.6 Audits. Janssen shall and shall cause Related Parties to maintain complete and accurate financial records of the Net Sales of Products and calculation of corresponding royalties in sufficient detail to permit ACI to confirm the accuracy of such financial records limited to the royalty calculations and calculation of Net Sales. Upon the written request of ACI but not more often than once every Calendar Year, at ACI’s expense, Janssen will permit an independent certified accountant selected by ACI and reasonably acceptable to Janssen to have access during normal business hours to those financial records of Janssen and its Related Parties as may be reasonably necessary for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the quarterly royalty calculations provided to ACI. Such examination shall be limited to a period of time no more than [*****] immediately preceding the request for examination. An audit of the records relating to a particular Calendar Year may be conducted only once.

The report of the independent public accountant shall be shared with Janssen prior to distribution to ACI so that Janssen can provide the independent public accountant with justifying remarks for inclusion in the report prior to sharing the conclusions of the independent public audit with ACI. The final audit report will be shared with Janssen and ACI at the same time and specify whether the amounts paid to ACI were correct or, if incorrect, the amount of any underpayment or overpayment. The audit report will only contain the information relevant to support the statement as to whether the royalties were calculated and paid accurately and will not include any confidential (or additional information that is ordinarily not included in the royalty reports) disclosed to the auditor during the course of the audit.

If Janssen’s royalties are found to be in error such that royalties were underpaid, Janssen shall remit to ACI within [*****] after Janssen’s receipt of such report, [*****]. If the report shows any overpayment, Janssen shall receive a credit equal to the overpayment against the royalty otherwise payable to the ACI. If Janssen disagrees with the findings of the audit report, the Parties will first seek to resolve the matter, and in the event they fail to reach agreement, the dispute resolution provisions outlined in Section 13.7 shall be followed to resolve the dispute.

ACI shall treat all financial information subject to review or under any sublicense agreement in accordance with the confidentiality and non-use provisions of this Agreement, and will cause its accounting firm to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement with Janssen and/or its Related Parties obligating it to retain all such information in confidence.

Janssen will make all payments to ACI under this Agreement without deduction or withholding for Taxes except to the extent that any such deduction or withholding is required by law in effect at the time of payment.

9.7.2

Any Tax required to be withheld on amounts payable under this Agreement will be paid by Janssen on behalf of ACI to the appropriate governmental authority, and Janssen will furnish ACI with proof of payment of such Tax. Any such Tax required to be withheld will be an expense of and borne by ACI. If any such Tax is assessed against and paid by Janssen, then ACI will indemnify and hold harmless Janssen from and against such Tax.

9.7.3

Janssen and ACI will cooperate with respect to all documentation required by any taxing authority or reasonably requested by Janssen to secure a reduction in the rate of applicable withholding Taxes. On the date of execution of this Agreement, ACI will deliver to Janssen an accurate and complete Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E certifying that ACI is entitled to the applicable benefits under the Income Tax Treaty

At ACI’s request, Janssen shall provide to ACI all relevant documents and correspondence regarding the tax withholding, and shall also provide to ACI any other cooperation or assistance on a reasonable basis as may be necessary to enable ACI to claim exemption from such withholding taxes and to receive a full refund of such withholding tax or claim a foreign tax credit. Janssen shall give proper evidence from time to time as to the payment of such Tax. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in seeking deductions under any double taxation or other similar treaty or agreement from time to time in force. Such cooperation may include Janssen making payments from a single source in the U.S., where possible.

9.8 Currency Restrictions. If restrictions on the transfer of currency exist in any country such as to prevent Janssen from making the payments in the currency required under section 9.5, Janssen shall take all reasonable steps to obtain a waiver of such restrictions or otherwise enable Janssen to make such payments, failing which Janssen may make the royalty payments due upon sales in such country in local currency and deposit such payments in a local bank or other depository designated by ACI.

9.9 Expiration of Royalty Obligations. Janssen retains a nonexclusive license under the ACI Know-How in the Territory and Field to make, use, sell, import and have such acts performed for Janssen’s benefit following expiration of all royalty obligations in respect of any Product.

9.10 Interest. In case of any delay in payment by Janssen to ACI not resulting from Force Majeure (as described in section 13.2), interest at the annual rate of [*****] assessed from the [*****] day after the due date of the payment shall be due from Janssen.

12.7 Survival. The provisions of Sections 10.1.1, 10.1.2, 10.2.1, 13.1, 13.6, 13.7, and Article 8 indefinitely survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 13: MISCELLANEOUS

13.1

Indemnification.

13.1.1

ACI shall indemnify Janssen and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, against any claims of damages (except to the extent arising from any claims of intellectual property infringement), bodily injury, death, or property damage made by a Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”) to the extent arising from: (a) the negligence or willful misconduct of ACI under this Agreement; or (b) the material breach by ACI of any warranty, representation or obligation of ACI under this Agreement. This indemnification does not apply to the extent an act or failure to act is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Janssen.

13.1.2

Janssen shall indemnify ACI and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, against any Third Party Claim to the extent arising from (a) the negligence or willful misconduct of Janssen or its Related Parties under this Agreement; (b) the material breach by Janssen or its Related Parties of any warranty, representation or obligation of Janssen under this Agreement; or (c) the Development, Manufacture,

Commercialization or use by Janssen or its or its Related Parties under this Agreement of any Product. This indemnification does not apply to the extent an act or failure to act is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of ACI.

13.1.3

If a Party (the “Indemnitee”) intends to claim indemnification under this section, it shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any Third Party Claim for which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification. The failure of the Indemnitee to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action relieves the Indemnitor of any obligation to the Indemnitee under this section with respect to any such action, insofar as the failure prejudices the Indemnitor’s ability to defend a Third Party Claim. The Indemnitee shall permit the Indemnitor to control the litigation or settlement of such Third Party Claim, and cooperate fully with Indemnitor in all related matters, provided that unless agreed by Indemnitee (a) counsel appointed by Indemnitor to defend Indemnitee will not take any position which if sustained would cause Indemnitee not to be indemnified by Indemnitor and (b) no settlement will involve any terms binding on Indemnitee except payment of money to by paid by Indemnitor.

13.1.4

Neither Party is liable to the other for indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages under this Agreement.

13.2 Force Majeure. Neither Party is liable to the other Party nor will it be deemed to breached this Agreement for failure or delay in performing any obligation under this Agreement when such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party including, but not limited to, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), insurrections, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, fire, floods, or other acts of God, or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority or the other Party. The affected Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure circumstances as soon as reasonably practical, and shall promptly undertake reasonable efforts necessary to cure the force majeure circumstances.

13.3 Assignment. Except as provided in this section 12.3, this Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, nor may any right or obligation be assigned or transferred, by either Party without the consent of the other Party. Either Party may, without the other Party’s consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations, in whole or in part, to an Affiliate. Any permitted assignee assumes all obligations of its assignor under this Agreement and will be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement. Any attempted assignment not in accordance with this section is void. In the event of a Change of Control, ACI or Janssen may, without the other’s consent, assign this Agreement and all rights and obligations to the Change of Control party.

13.4 Severability. If any provision in this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected unless the absence of the invalidated provision(s) adversely affects the substantive rights of the Parties. The Parties will then use reasonable efforts to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) with valid, legal and enforceable provision(s) which implement the purposes of this Agreement.

13.5 Notices. All notices that are required or permitted will be in writing and sufficient if delivered personally, sent by facsimile (and promptly confirmed by personal delivery, registered or certified mail or overnight courier), sent by internationally-recognized courier or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

If the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute, controversy or claim within [*****] (unless otherwise agreed) following the day on which one Party provides written notice of the Dispute to the other in accordance with section 12.7 .2, and a Party wishes to pursue the matter, each such Dispute, controversy or claim that is not an Excluded Claim will be finally resolved by mediation followed by binding arbitration as set forth below.

13.7.2 Mediation. The Parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute by confidential mediation in accordance with the then current Mediation Procedure of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (“CPR Mediation Procedure”) (www.cpradr.org) before initiating arbitration. The CPR Mediation Procedure controls, except where that Procedure conflicts with these provisions, in which case these provisions control. The mediator will be chosen pursuant to the CPR Mediation Procedure. The mediation will be held in Geneva, Switzerland.

Either Party may initiate mediation by written notice to the other of the existence of a Dispute. The Parties will select the mediator within [*****] of the notice and the mediation will begin promptly after the selection. The mediation will continue until the mediator or either Party, declares in writing, no sooner than after the conclusion of one full day of a substantive mediation conference attended on behalf of each Party by a senior business person with authority to resolve the Dispute, that the Dispute cannot be resolved by mediation. In no event, will mediation continue more than [*****] from the initial notice by a Party to initiate meditation unless the Parties agree in writing to extend that period.

Any period of limitations that would otherwise expire between the initiation of mediation and its conclusion is extended until [*****] after the conclusion of the mediation.

13.7.3 Arbitration. If the Parties fail to resolve the Dispute in mediation, and a Party desires to pursue resolution of the Dispute, the Dispute will be submitted by either Party for resolution in arbitration pursuant to the then current CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of International Disputes (“CPR Rules”) (www.cpradr.org), except where they conflict with these provisions, in which case these provisions control. CPR is designated as the Neutral Organization for all purposes. The arbitration will be conducted in English and held in Geneva, Switzerland. All aspects of the arbitration will be treated as confidential.

The arbitrators will be chosen from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals, unless a candidate not on the CPR Panel is approved by both Parties. Each arbitrator must be a lawyer with at least 15 years experience with a law firm or corporate law department of over 25 lawyers or who was a judge of a court of general jurisdiction. To the extent that the Dispute requires special expertise, the Parties will so inform CPR prior to the beginning of the selection process.

The arbitration tribunal will consist of three arbitrators, chosen in accordance with Rules 5.3 and 6 of the CPR Rules. If, however, the aggregate award sought by the Parties is less than $5 million and equitable relief is not sought, a single arbitrator will be chosen in accordance with Rules 5.3 and 6 of the CPR Rules.

Candidates for the arbitrator position(s) may be interviewed by representatives of the Parties in advance of their selection, provided that all Parties are represented.

The Parties will select the arbitrator(s) within [*****] of initiation of the arbitration. The hearing will be concluded within [*****] months after selection of the arbitrator(s) and the award will be rendered within [*****] of the conclusion of the hearing, or of any post-hearing

briefing, which briefing will be completed by both sides within [*****] after the conclusion of the hearing. In the event the Parties cannot agree upon a schedule, then the arbitrator(s) shall set the schedule following the time limits set forth above as closely as practical.

The arbitrator(s) will be guided, but not bound, by the IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Commercial Arbitration (www.ibanet.org).

The hearing will be concluded in [*****] hearing days or less. Multiple hearing days will be scheduled consecutively to the greatest extent possible. A transcript of the testimony adduced at the hearing will be made available to either Party.

The arbitrator(s) shall decide the merits of any Dispute in accordance with the law governing this Agreement, without application of any principle of conflict of laws that would result in reference to a different law. The arbitrator(s) may not apply principles such as “amiable compositeur” or “natural justice and equity.”

The arbitrator(s) shall render a written opinion stating the reasons upon which the award is based. The arbitrator(s) may award the costs and expenses of the arbitration as provided in the CPR Rules, but each bears its own attorney fees

The award may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. If a court is called upon to enforce an award in a court proceeding, the Parties consent to the court’s requiring the Party resisting enforcement to pay the reasonable attorneys fees and costs incurred in that proceeding by the Party seeking enforcement.

Any Party may seek emergency, interim, or provisional relief prior to the appointment of the arbitrator(s) from any court of competent jurisdiction, without waiver of the agreements to mediate and arbitrate. After appointment of the arbitrator(s), any request for emergency, interim, or provisional relief shall either be addressed to the arbitrator(s), which will have the power to enter an interim award granting relief using the standards provided by applicable law, or to a court, but only with the permission of the arbitrator(s). Any interim award of the arbitrator(s) may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Each Party waives: (1) its right to trial of any issue by jury, (2) with the exception of relief mandated by statute, any claim to punitive, exemplary, multiplied, indirect, consequential or lost profits/revenues damages, and (3) any claim for attorney fees, costs and prejudgment interest.

13.7.4 The Parties agree that, in the event of a Dispute over the nature or quality of performance under this Agreement, neither Party may terminate this Agreement until final resolution of the Dispute through arbitration or other judicial determination. The Parties further agree that any payments made pursuant to this Agreement pending resolution of the Dispute will be refunded if an arbitrator or court determines that such payments are not due.

13.7.5 As used in this section, the term “Excluded Claim” means a dispute, controversy or claim that concerns the validity or infringement of a patent, trademark or copyright.

13.8 Compliance with Laws. Each Party will comply, and require its Affiliates and sublicensees to comply, with all applicable Laws and regulations relative to its obligations under this Agreement.

13.9 Entire agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, together with the Schedules and Exhibits, contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes and cancels all previous express or implied agreements and understandings, negotiations,

13.10 Headings. The captions to the sections and subsections are not a part of this Agreement, but are merely for convenience to assist in locating and reading the sections and subsections.

13.11 Independent Contractors. ACI and Janssen are independent contractors with respect to each other and the relationship between the two Parties is not a partnership, joint venture or agency. Neither ACI nor Janssen has the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, binding on the other Party, without the prior written consent of the other Party.

13.12 Waiver. The waiver by either Party of any right, or the failure of the other Party to perform, or a breach by the other Party, is not a waiver of any other right or of any other breach or failure by such other Party.

13.13 Cumulative Remedies. No remedy referred to in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive. Each is in addition to any other remedy referred to in this Agreement or otherwise available under law.

13.14 ACI Change of Control. In the event of the occurrence of a Change of Control of ACI during the Term and the successor in interest is a pharmaceutical company or organization, Janssen may elect, by providing written notice within [*****] days after the date of the Change of Control, to take control of all Research and Development activities being conducted by ACI, and eliminate the JRC and ISC so that the provisions of Articles 3 and 5 no longer apply. The provisions of this section 13.13 will not apply in the case of an initial public offering by ACI, or a corporate restructuring (including the corporate domicile).

13.15 Compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws. Neither Party shall perform any actions that are prohibited by local and other anti-corruption laws (including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, collectively “Anti-Corruption Laws”) that may be applicable to one or both Parties to the Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, neither Party shall make any payments, or offer or transfer anything of value, to any government official or government employee, to any political party official or candidate for political office or to any other Third Party related to the transaction in a manner that would violate Anti-Corruption Laws.

13.16 Advice of Counsel. Each Party participated in the drafting of this Agreement. In interpreting and applying the terms and provisions of this Agreement no presumption will exist or be implied against the Party that drafted the terms and provisions.

13.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which is an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

PRESS RELEASE

AC Immune Enters into a Worldwide License and Collaboration Agreement for Alzheimer’s Disease Therapeutic Tau-Vaccines with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

•

Exclusive worldwide License agreement potentially worth up to USD 509 million (CHF 500 million*)

•

Three-year joint program to develop tauopathies therapeutic vaccines

•

Offers potential to treat Alzheimer’s patients earlier in the disease

Lausanne, Switzerland, - January 12, 2015 - AC Immune today announced it has entered into a worldwide exclusive license agreement and research collaboration with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., to develop and commercialize therapeutic anti-Tau vaccines for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and potentially other tauopathies**. Janssen Research & Development, LLC, an affiliate of Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., will further develop the lead therapeutic vaccine, ACI-35, that is currently in a phase Ib clinical trial in Alzheimer’s patients. ACI-35 is an active therapeutic vaccine stimulating the patient’s immune system to produce a polyclonal antibody response against phosphorylated Tau protein.

Under the terms of the agreement, AC Immune will receive an upfront payment and is eligible to receive research, development and commercialization milestone payments potentially totaling up to USD 509 million (CHF 500 million*) for Alzheimer’s disease and for a potential second indication outside of Alzheimer’s disease. Additionally, the company is eligible to receive tiered royalties on net sales for any approved products resulting from the collaboration. AC Immune and Janssen will co-develop ACI-35 through phase Ib completion. As of phase II and onward, Janssen will assume responsibility for the clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization of ACI-35. Additionally, the two companies have entered a 3 year joint research collaboration to further characterize and develop novel vaccine therapies for the treatment of tauopathies.

Prof. Andrea Pfeifer, CEO of AC Immune said: “We are very pleased to begin this exciting strategic partnership with Janssen in a groundbreaking deal involving the first anti-pTau therapeutic vaccine. This is our third major collaboration with pharmaceutical partners involving the Tau protein and underscores the strength of our technology platforms for targeting proteinopathies and our success in bringing to the clinic Tau and Abeta therapies and diagnostics.”

*	USD/CHF exchange rate from Bloomberg as of 19 December 2014

**	Tauopathies are a family of diseases involving the misfolding and aggregating of Tau protein; i.e. frontotemporal dementia, progressive supranuclear palsy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Martin Velasco, Chairman of the Board added: “This agreement is another validation of our leadership in Alzheimer’s disease and of the growing interest of the large pharmaceutical companies in this field. We are determined to remain at the forefront of the industry’s efforts to develop therapies to address this critical global health problem.”

About the ACI-35 vaccine

“ACI-35 is the first therapeutic vaccine in clinical development that targets misfolded phospho-Tau protein that is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. It is important to note that this vaccine approach offers the potential to treat Alzheimer’s patients earlier and in broad populations and has an exciting future aptitude to treat other rarer tauopathy indications,” commented Dr. Andreas Muhs, Chief Scientific Officer of AC Immune.

ACI-35 is an active therapeutic vaccine, discovered by AC Immune, stimulating the patient’s immune system to produce conformation-specific antibodies against phosphorylated Tau protein. The phospho-Tau protein forms twisted fibers inside neuronal cells and builds tangles that are considered to be one of the two hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease, besides Abeta-plaques. During pre-clinical development, ACI-35 showed reduction of phospho-Tau aggregates and total pathological Tau and improvement of clinical parameters. ACI-35 is also characterized by very specific antibody response against pathological Tau and its T-cell independent immune response, an important feature of AC Immune’s SupraAntigen technology platform, supporting the excellent safety profile.

The therapeutic vaccine is currently in a phase lb, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled clinical study in Alzheimer’s patients with the primary objective of evaluating the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of ACI-35. Secondary objectives will assess relevant biomarkers and functional and clinical parameters. Two groups of patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease will receive a different dose of ACI-35. Patient safety in the study has been secured by careful planning and extensive preclinical tests.

About Alzheimer’s disease

Scientists don’t yet fully understand what causes Alzheimer’s disease, but it has become increasingly clear that it develops because of a complex series of events that take place in the brain over a long period of time. Two proteins – Tau and Abeta – are perceived as the major hallmarks of neurodegeneration: tangles and other abnormal forms of Tau protein accumulate inside the brain cells, while plaques and oligomers formed by beta-amyloid occur outside the brain cells of people with Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s disease will be one of the biggest burdens of the future society showing dramatic incidence rates: every 69 seconds someone in the US develops Alzheimer’s disease, by mid-century someone will develop the disease every 33 seconds. 44 million people were affected with the disease worldwide in 2013. In the US Alzheimer’s disease

is now the 6th leading cause of death across all ages. It was the fifth leading cause of death for those aged 65 and older. Since the incidence and prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease increase with age, the number of patients will grow dramatically with our society getting older. By 2050, we expect that patient numbers will triple to 135 million worldwide.

About AC Immune

AC Immune is a leading Swiss-based biopharmaceutical company with three products in clinical trials. The Company designs, discovers and develops therapeutic and diagnostic products to prevent and modify diseases caused by misfolding proteins. AC Immune’s two proprietary technology platforms create antibodies, small molecules and vaccines to address large markets across a broad spectrum of central nervous system indications. Alzheimer’s disease is the largest indication addressed by its products but the company’s innovative, highly differentiated and disease-modifying therapies are capable of shifting the paradigm in the treatment of other neurodegenerative diseases such as Down syndrome, Parkinson’s, tauopathies and Glaucoma. The Company has a large, diversified and promising pipeline featuring seven therapeutic and two diagnostic products in Alzheimer’s disease. The most advanced of these is crenezumab, an anti-Abeta antibody that is licensed to Genentech and has completed phase II clinical trials. Crenezumab was chosen by the US National Institute of Health for use in the first-ever AD prevention trial. The company has partnered three programs targeting Tau: ACI-35 with Janssen (therapeutic vaccine, phase Ib), Tau PET tracers with Piramal (Alzheimer’s diagnostic agent, pre-clinical) and Tau-antibodies with Genentech (preclinical). The anti-Abeta vaccine ACI-24 phase I/IIa trial is run in house. Since its foundation in 2003, AC Immune has raised 84 million Swiss francs (USD 81 million) from private investors.
