COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

General Legal Matters

 

From time to time the Company is or may become subject to certain legal proceedings and claims arising in connection with the normal course of its business. Management does not expect that the outcome of any such claims or actions will have a material effect on the Company’s liquidity, results of operations or financial condition.

 

IT Systems Disruption

 


On June 19, 2023, the Company experienced an IT systems disruption, which rendered certain of the Company’s IT technology systems inaccessible for less than one week. The Company’s investigation of the disruption has essentially been completed with the assistance of third-party consultants, and no definitive root cause was identified. At the time of the disruption, the Company was in production of two batches of BIVIGAM, and after a prolonged hold time, it was deemed to be a prudent GMP quality decision to discard these two in-process production batches as these batches were no longer viable for further production or had any alternative use. As a result, the Company recorded a one-time, non-recurring charge of $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2023 for this inventory, which is reflected in Cost of product revenue in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ending December 31, 2023. In addition, the Company’s Plasma center operating expenses were adversely impacted by approximately $0.7 million due to the temporary closing of the Company’s plasma collection centers while their IT systems were restored.



The Company carries appropriate insurance for these types of instances. During each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s cybersecurity insurer paid the Company an aggregate of $0.2 million for approved restoration-related costs.  During the first quarter of 2025, the Company’s cybersecurity insurer paid the Company $0.4 million in business interruption loss coverage.

Vendor Commitments

 

Pursuant to the terms of a Plasma Purchase Agreement dated as of November 17, 2011 (the “2011 Plasma Purchase Agreement”), the Company agreed to purchase from its former contract manufacturer an annual minimum volume of source plasma containing antibodies to RSV to be used in the manufacture of ASCENIV. The Company must purchase a to-be-determined and agreed upon annual minimum volume from the counterparty, and under the original 2011 Plasma Purchase Agreement the Company was permitted to also collect high-titer plasma from up to five wholly-owned ADMA plasma collection facilities. During 2015, the Company amended the 2011 Plasma Purchase Agreement to (i) allow the Company to collect its raw material high-titer plasma from any number of wholly-owned ADMA plasma collection facilities and (ii) allow the Company to purchase its raw material high-titer plasma from other third-party collection organizations, in each case, provided that the annual minimum volumes from the Company’s former contract manufacturer were met, thus allowing the Company to expand its reach for raw material supply as it executes its commercialization plans for ASCENIV. On December 10, 2018, the Company’s former contract manufacturer assigned its rights and obligations under the 2011 Plasma Purchase Agreement to Grifols Worldwide Operations Limited (“Grifols”) as its successor-in-interest, effective January 1, 2019. Effective October 1, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Plasma Purchase Agreement with Grifols (the “A&R Grifols Agreement”) with a term expiring in September 2039, after which it may be renewed for two additional multi-year periods if agreed to by the parties. Pursuant to the A&R Grifols Agreement, Grifols supplies, on a non-exclusive basis, to ADMA BioManufacturing a minimum of 35,000 liters of RSV plasma annually to be used in the manufacture of ASCENIV, with an escalating price per liter depending on the volume supplied in a given 12-month period, with a minimum annual price increase every 12 months.  Additionally, Grifols will be entitled to receive a fixed bonus payment in the event that a specified liter amount of high-titer plasma is supplied to the Company in any 12-month period during the term of the A&R Grifols Agreement.


Effective August 6, 2024, the Company entered into a Plasma Purchase Agreement with KEDPlasma LLC (“KEDPlasma”) with a term expiring in July 2031, after which it may be renewed for an additional five-year period if agreed to by the parties (the “KEDPlasma Agreement”).  Pursuant to the KEDPlasma Agreement, KEDPlasma supplies, on a non-exclusive basis, to ADMA BioManufacturing a minimum of 35,000 liters of RSV plasma annually commencing with the 12-month period ending July 31, 2026, with an escalating price per liter depending on the volume supplied in a given 12-month period. The price per liter of high-titer plasma supplied pursuant to the KEDPlasma Agreement is also scheduled to increase on an annual basis. Additionally, KEDPlasma will be entitled to receive a fixed bonus payment in the event that a specified liter amount of RSV plasma is supplied to the Company in any 12-month period during the term of the KEDPlasma Agreement.


On June 6, 2017, the Company entered into a Plasma Supply Agreement with its former contract manufacturer, pursuant to which the counterparty supplies, on an exclusive basis subject to certain exceptions, to ADMA BioManufacturing an annual minimum volume of hyperimmune plasma that contain antibodies to the Hepatitis B virus for the manufacture of Nabi-HB. The Plasma Supply Agreement has a 10-year term. On July 19, 2018, the Plasma Supply Agreement was amended to provide, among other things, that in the event the counterparty elects not to supply in excess of ADMA BioManufacturing’s specified amount of Hepatitis B plasma and ADMA BioManufacturing is unable to secure Hepatitis B plasma from a third party at a price that is within a low double- digit percentage of the price that ADMA BioManufacturing pays to the counterparty, then the counterparty shall reimburse ADMA BioManufacturing for the difference in price ADMA BioManufacturing incurs. On December 10, 2018, the Company’s former contract manufacturer assigned its rights and obligations under the Plasma Supply Agreement to Grifols, effective January 1, 2019.


Post-Marketing Commitments

 

In connection with the FDA approval of ASCENIV on April 1, 2019, the Company is required to perform a pediatric study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ASCENIV in children and adolescents, for which patient enrollment has been successfully completed. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred expenses related to this study in the amount of $1.2 million, $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The Company expects to incur expenses of approximately $1.0 million to complete this study, which is required to be completed by June of 2026.


In connection with the FDA approval of the BLA for BIVIGAM on December 19, 2012, Biotest committed to perform two additional post-marketing studies, a pediatric study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BIVIGAM in children and adolescents, and a post-authorization safety study to further assess the potential risk of hypotension and hepatic and renal impairment in BIVIGAM-treated patients with primary humoral immunodeficiency. These studies were required to be completed by June 30, 2023. Both studies have been completed and the study reports have been submitted to the FDA. ADMA had assumed the remaining obligations, and the costs of the studies were expensed as incurred as research and development expenses. The Company did not incur any expenses related to this commitment for the year ended December 31, 2024. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred expenses related to these studies of $1.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Further, the Company indemnifies its directors and officers who are, or were, serving at the Company’s request in such capacities. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as of December 31, 2024. The Company does not anticipate recognizing any significant losses relating to these arrangements.
