Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and contingencies | 10. Commitments and contingencies Under various agreements, the Company will be required to pay royalties and milestone payments upon the successful development and commercialization of products. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agilis Merger Agreement”), dated as of July 19, 2018 by and among the Company, Agilis Biotherapeutics, Inc. (“Agilis”) and Agility Merger Sub, Inc. (such merger pursuant thereto, the “Agilis Merger”), Agilis equityholders were previously entitled to receive contingent consideration payments from the Company based on (i) the achievement of certain development milestones up to an aggregate maximum amount of $60.0 million, (ii) the achievement of certain regulatory approval milestones together with a milestone payment following the receipt of a priority review voucher up to an aggregate maximum amount of $535.0 million, (iii) the achievement of certain net sales milestones up to an aggregate maximum amount of $150.0 million, and (iv) a percentage of annual net sales for FA and Angelman syndrome during specified terms, ranging from 2%-6%. The Company was required to pay $40.0 million of the development milestone payments upon the passing of the second anniversary of the closing of the Agilis Merger, regardless of whether the applicable milestones have been achieved. As of June 30, 2025, all of the milestones have either been paid or settled, with the exception of the regulatory milestones and net sales milestones related to FA and Angelman syndrome and the net sales milestones related to Upstaza/Kebilidi. In May 2023, as part of the Company’s strategic portfolio prioritization, the Company decided to discontinue its preclinical and early research programs in its gene therapy platform, which included FA and Angelman syndrome. As a result, the Company does not expect the milestones related to FA and Angelman syndrome to be achieved. In addition, the Company does not expect to pay the 2%–6% royalties on annual net sales related to FA and Angelman syndrome. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining potential sales milestones related to Upstaza/Kebilidi is $50.0 million, however the Company has determined that the probability of triggering these milestones is remote. On October 25, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of BioElectron Technology Corporation (“BioElectron”), a Delaware corporation, including certain compounds that the Company has begun to develop as part of its inflammation and ferroptosis platform, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement by and between the Company and BioElectron, dated October 1, 2019 (the “BioElectron Asset Purchase Agreement”). BioElectron was a private company with a pipeline focused on inflammatory CNS disorders. The lead program, vatiquinone, is in late stage development for FA with substantial unmet need and significant commercial opportunity that are complementary to PTC’s existing pipeline. Subject to the terms and conditions of the BioElectron Asset Purchase Agreement, BioElectron may become entitled to receive contingent milestone payments of up to $200.0 million (in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the Company) from the Company based on the achievement of certain regulatory and net sales milestones. Subject to the terms and conditions of the BioElectron Asset Purchase Agreement, BioElectron may also become entitled to receive contingent payments based on a percentage of net sales of certain products. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 5, 2020 (the “Censa Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Censa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Censa”), Hydro Merger Sub, Inc., the Company’s wholly owned, indirect subsidiary, and, solely in its capacity as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the securityholders of Censa, Shareholder Representative Services LLC (such merger pursuant thereto, the “Censa Merger”), former Censa securityholders may become entitled to receive contingent payments from the Company based on (i) the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones up to an aggregate maximum amount of $217.5 million for sepiapterin’s two most advanced programs and receipt of a priority review voucher from the FDA as set forth in the Censa Merger Agreement, (ii) $109.0 million in development and regulatory milestones for each additional indication of sepiapterin, (iii) the achievement of certain net sales milestones up to an aggregate maximum amount of $160.0 million, (iv) a percentage of annual net sales during specified terms, ranging from single to low double digits of the applicable net sales threshold amount, and (v) any sublicense fees paid to the Company in consideration of any sublicense of Censa’s intellectual property to commercialize sepiapterin, on a country-by-country basis, which contingent payment shall equal to a mid-double digit percentage of any such sublicense fees. In June 2025, Sephience™ (sepiapterin) was granted marketing authorization by the EC for the treatment of children and adults living with PKU. Pursuant to the Censa Merger Agreement, the acceptance triggered a $25.0 million regulatory milestone to the former Censa securityholders, which was recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, $95.0 million of the $217.5 million in development and regulatory milestones have been paid to the former Censa securityholders. The Company also has the Tegsedi-Waylivra Agreement for the commercialization of Tegsedi and Waylivra, and products containing those compounds in countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Akcea is entitled to receive royalty payments subject to certain terms set forth in the Tegsedi-Waylivra Agreement. The Company has employment agreements with certain employees which require the funding of a specific level of payments, if certain events, such as a change in control or termination without cause, occur. Additionally, the Company has royalty payments associated with Translarna, Emflaza, and Upstaza net product revenue, payable quarterly or annually in accordance with the terms of the related agreements. From time to time in the ordinary course of its business, the Company is subject to claims, legal proceedings and disputes. The Company is not currently aware of any material legal proceedings against it.
