Description of Business | Description of Business Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") is a global, patient-dedicated biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing, and delivering novel medicines for rare diseases. The Company has a portfolio of product opportunities including the first, oral monotherapy for Fabry disease that has achieved widespread global approval and a differentiated biologic for Pompe disease, that is under review with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") as well as the European Medicines Agency ("EMA"). We are committed to discovering and developing next generation therapies in Fabry and Pompe diseases. The cornerstone of the Company's portfolio is Galafold® (also referred to as "migalastat"), the first and only approved oral precision medicine for people living with Fabry disease who have amenable genetic variants. Migalastat is currently approved under the trade name Galafold® in the United States ("U.S."), European Union ("E.U."), United Kingdom ("U.K."), and Japan, with multiple additional approvals granted and applications pending in several geographies around the world. The lead biologics program of the Company's pipeline is Amicus Therapeutics GAA ("AT-GAA", also known as ATB200/AT2221, or cipaglucosidase alfa/miglustat), a novel, two-component, potential best-in-class treatment for Pompe disease. In February 2019, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation ("BTD") to AT-GAA for the treatment of late onset Pompe disease. In September 2021, the FDA set the Prescription Drug User Fee Act ("PDUFA") target action date of May 29, 2022 for the New Drug Application ("NDA") for miglustat and July 29, 2022 for the Biologics License Application ("BLA") for cipaglucosidase alfa. The EMA validated the Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) in the fourth quarter of 2021. On February 24, 2022, the Company announced, with ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV ("ARYA"), a special purpose acquisition company (or "SPAC"), sponsored by Perceptive Advisors, it has agreed to mutually terminate the previously announced definitive business combination agreement, originally executed in September 2021. Additionally, in September 2021, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with certain investors for the private placement of an aggregate of 11,296,660 shares of the Company's common stock, at a purchase price of $10.18 per share, and pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,349,705 shares of common stock, at a purchase price of $10.17 per pre-funded warrant. The net proceeds from these private placements were approximately $199.8 million. The Company expects to use the net proceeds to further fund initiatives in the global commercialization of Galafold® and the anticipated global launch of AT-GAA and to further support the Company's discovery work on next generation therapies in Fabry and Pompe diseases. The Company's operations have not been significantly impacted by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic to date. However, the Company observed increased lag times between patient identification and Galafold® initiation due to the resurgence of COVID-19 in 2021. The Company has maintained operations in all geographies, secured its global supply chain for its commercial and clinical products, as well as maintained the operational integrity of its clinical trials, with minimal disruptions. Whether the Company will continue to operate without any significant disruptions will depend on the continued health of its employees, the ongoing demand for Galafold® and the continued operation of its global supply chain. The Company has continued to provide uninterrupted access to medicines for those in need of treatment, while prioritizing the health and safety of its global workforce. However, the Company's results of operations in future periods may be negatively impacted by unknown future impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $2.3 billion as of December 31, 2021 and anticipates incurring losses through the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 and beyond. The Company has historically funded its operations through stock offerings, Galafold® revenues, debt issuances, collaborations, and other financing arrangements. Based on its current operating model, the Company believes that the current cash position, which includes expected revenues, and net proceeds from the September 2021 private placement of securities, is sufficient to fund the Company's operations and ongoing research programs to achieve self-sustainability. Potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, business development collaborations, pipeline expansion, and investment in manufacturing capabilities could impact the Company's future capital requirements.
