The PR says:
Of course i have no idea of the details however there is an agreement which enables NATI to provide funds in return to getting royalties. Naturally if the vaccine proves a flop, NATI gets absolutely nothing in return.
If however the vaccine does generate income, the royalties are in % of sales for a set amount of (quite many) years, thus enabling NATI to assist/invest in other potential projects!
