Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company has commitments related to capital expenditures of approximately $142 million as of December 31, 2019. Under certain agreements, the Company may be required to make payments contingent upon the achievement of specific developmental, regulatory, or commercial milestones. As of December 31, 2019, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that it may potentially make milestone and license fee payments, including sales-based milestone payments, of approximately $315 million over time, in the aggregate, to third parties for products currently under development or being marketed, primarily consisting of the following:
• | Under the terms of a June 2013 distribution and supply agreement with Spear Pharmaceuticals, Inc and Spear Dermatology Products Inc., the Company may be required to make sales-based milestone payments. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that these payments over time may approximate $70 million, in the aggregate.
• | Under the terms of an April 2019 agreement with Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, the Company has acquired an exclusive license to develop and commercialize MT-1303 (amiselimod), a late-stage oral compound that targets the sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor that plays a role in autoimmune diseases, such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and ulcerative colitis. The Company may be required to make development and sales-based milestone payments over time of up to $60 million, in the aggregate, as well as royalties on future sales.
• | Under the terms of a December 2019 agreement with Novaliq GmbH, the Company has acquired an exclusive license for the commercialization and development in the U.S. and Canada of NOV03 (perfluorohexyloctane), an investigational drug to treat Dry Eye Disease associated with Meibomian gland dysfunction and may be required to make sales-based milestone payments. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that these payments over time may approximate $45 million, in the aggregate, as well as royalties on future sales.
• | Under the terms of a February 2018 agreement with Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., the Company has acquired an exclusive license to develop and commercialize products containing an investigational compound, KP-470, a new chemical entity, which is being studied for the topical treatment of psoriasis and may be required to make potential development and sales-based milestone payments. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that these payments over time may approximate $43 million, in the aggregate, as well as royalties on future sales.
Due to the nature of these arrangements, the future potential payments related to the attainment of the specified milestones over a period of several years are inherently uncertain. Indemnification Provisions In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that include indemnification provisions for product liability and other matters. These provisions are generally subject to maximum amounts, specified claim periods and other conditions and limits. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, no material amounts were accrued for the Company’s obligations under these indemnification provisions. In addition, the Company is obligated to indemnify its officers and directors in respect of any legal claims or actions initiated against them in their capacity as officers and directors of the Company in accordance with applicable law. Pursuant to such indemnities, the Company is indemnifying certain former officers and directors in respect of certain litigation and regulatory matters.
