The Company | 1. THE COMPANY Alkermes plc is a fully-integrated, global biopharmaceutical company that applies its scientific expertise and proprietary technologies to research, develop and commercialize, both with partners and on its own, pharmaceutical products that are designed to address unmet medical needs of patients in the fields of neuroscience and oncology. Alkermes has a portfolio of proprietary commercial products focused on alcohol dependence, opioid dependence, schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder and a pipeline of product candidates in development for neurological disorders and cancer. Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, the Company has a research and development (“R&D”) center in Waltham, Massachusetts; an R&D and manufacturing facility in Athlone, Ireland; and a manufacturing facility in Wilmington, Ohio. On November 2, 2022, the Company announced its intent, as approved by its board of directors, to separate its neuroscience business and oncology business. The Company is planning a separation of the oncology business into an independent, publicly-traded company (referred to herein as “Mural Oncology”) following a review of strategic alternatives for the oncology business. Following the planned separation, the Company would retain its focus on driving growth of its proprietary commercial products: LYBALVI, ARISTADA/ARISTADA INITIO and VIVITROL, and advancing the development of pipeline programs focused on neurological disorders. The Company also expects to retain manufacturing and royalty revenues, including those related to its licensed products and third-party products using its proprietary technologies under license. Mural Oncology would focus on the discovery and development of cancer therapies, including the continued development of nemvaleukin alfa and the Company’s portfolio of novel, preclinical engineered cytokines. The separation, if consummated, is expected to be completed in the second half of 2023 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including final approval by the Company’s board of directors and receipt of a private letter ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and/or a tax opinion from the Company’s tax advisor. Subsequent to the planned separation, the historical results of the oncology business will be reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
