Sign InBioNTech SE has disclosed new details regarding the planned departure of its co-founders by 2026, outlining a strategic financial relationship with their new mRNA venture. Under the agreement, BioNTech will contribute specific rights and technologies to the startup in exchange for a minority equity stake. The deal also secures potential milestone payments and royalties for BioNTech, ensuring the company retains a financial interest in the founders' future scientific breakthroughs.
