LICENSING AGREEMENTS AND ACQUISITIONS | LICENSING AGREEMENTS AND ACQUISITIONS Licensing Agreements In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into select licensing and collaborative agreements for the commercialization and/or development of unique products. These products are sometimes investigational treatments in early stage development that target unique conditions. The ultimate outcome, including whether the product will be: (i) fully developed, (ii) approved by regulatory agencies, (iii) covered by third-party payors or (iv) profitable for distribution, is highly uncertain. The commitment periods under these agreements vary and include customary termination provisions. Expenses arising from commitments, if any, to fund the development and testing of these products and their promotion are recognized as incurred. Royalties due are recognized when earned and milestone payments are accrued when each milestone has been achieved and payment is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Acquisition of XIIDRA® On June 30, 2023, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bausch + Lomb, Bausch + Lomb Ireland Limited, entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement with Novartis Pharma AG and Novartis Finance Corporation (together with Novartis Pharma AG, “Novartis”) to acquire XIIDRA® (lifitegrast ophthalmic solution) and certain other ophthalmology assets. This acquisition is intended to complement and grow Bausch + Lomb’s existing dry eye franchise. Under the terms of the agreement, Bausch + Lomb, through its affiliate, has agreed to acquire XIIDRA® and certain other ophthalmology assets from Novartis for an upfront cash payment, at closing, of $1,750 million, with potential milestone obligations of up to $750 million, in part, payable upon the achievement of specified commercialization and sales milestones for certain pipeline products to be acquired as part of the transaction and, in part, upon the achievement of specified sales milestones for XIIDRA®. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2023, subject to receipt of regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. Bausch + Lomb has obtained debt financing commitments for purposes of this transaction and intends to finance the $1,750 million upfront cash payment with new debt prior to the closing of the transaction. Acquisition of AcuFocus On January 17, 2023, Bausch + Lomb acquired AcuFocus, Inc., an ophthalmic medical device company, for an upfront payment of $35 million, $31 million of which was paid in January 2023, with the remaining purchase price to be paid within 18 months following the date of the transaction, less any amounts that are the subject of any indemnification claims. The acquisition was made to acquire certain small aperture intraocular technology for the treatment of certain cataract conditions. Additional contingent payments may be payable upon achievement of future sales milestones. Bausch + Lomb recorded an initial acquisition-related contingent consideration liability of $5 million. As a result of this transaction, recorded within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are Intangibles, net of $28 million, Goodwill of $8 million, other assets of $9 million and liabilities of $6 million.
