Sale of Joint Venture Equity Interest in Samsung Bioepis In April 2022 we completed the sale of our 49.9% equity interest in Samsung Bioepis to Samsung BioLogics in exchange for total consideration of approximately $2.3 billion. Under the terms of this transaction, we received approximately $1.0 billion in cash at closing, with approximately $1.3 billion in cash to be deferred over two payments. The first deferred payment of $812.5 million was received in April 2023 and the second deferred payment of $437.5 million was received in April 2024. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized gains of approximately $1.4 million and $7.5 million, respectively, to reflect the changes in fair value associated with the passage of time related to the second deferred payment due to us, which was received in April 2024 and recorded in other (income) expense, net within our condensed consolidated statements of income.
