PENDING MERGER AGREEMENT PENDING MERGER AGREEMENT
On June 21, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Alimera Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Alimera”) and ANIP Merger Sub INC., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Alimera (the “Merger”), with Alimera surviving the Merger as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company. Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Alimera, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be converted into the right to receive (i) $5.50 in cash, without interest and (ii) one contingent value right (a “CVR”), which shall represent the right to receive the Milestone Payments (as defined below) subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the CVR Agreement (as defined below) (the consideration contemplated by (i) and (ii), together, the “Merger Consideration”).
At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company will enter into a contingent value rights agreement (the “CVR Agreement”), pursuant to which each holder of Alimera Common Stock, as well as holders of Alimera Warrants, Alimera Options, Alimera PSUs, Alimera RSAs and Alimera RSUs, may become entitled to contingent cash payments per CVR (each, a “Milestone Payment”), such payment(s) being contingent upon, and subject to, satisfaction of the Milestones (as defined below).

When issued, each CVR will entitle the holder (the “Holder”) to receive Milestone Payments for 2026 and 2027, upon satisfaction of the applicable Milestones. The Milestone Payments for each CVR will equal the product (rounded to the nearest 1/100 of $0.01) of $0.25 multiplied by a fraction (which in no case will exceed one), and (i) for 2026, equals the amount, if any, by which the 2026 Net Revenue exceeds $140.0 million, divided by $10.0 million (subject to adjustment for the exercise price of Eligible Options), and (ii) for 2027, equals the amount, if any, by which the 2027 Net Revenue exceeds $160.0 million, divided by $15.0 million (subject to adjustment for the exercise price of Eligible Options) (the occurrence of the events in clauses (i) and (ii), each, a “Milestone”).
The Merger Agreement requires Alimera, as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within 25 business days following the date of the Merger Agreement, to prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement for the purpose of seeking stockholder approval to the Merger Agreement. Alimera filed their preliminary proxy statement on July 24, 2024 with the SEC.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including approval by Alimera’s stockholders, the absence of any legal restraints restraining, enjoining, preventing, prohibiting or otherwise making illegal the consummation of the Merger, expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and any other specified required regulatory approvals that may be required will have been obtained, and each party’s performance of its obligations in all material respects under the Merger Agreement.
In connection with the Merger, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Blackstone Credit & Insurance (the “Lenders”) have committed to provide debt financing for the transaction in an aggregate principal amount equal to $280.0 million, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a commitment letter, dated June 21, 2024 (the “Debt Commitment Letter”). The obligations of the Lenders to provide debt financing under the Debt Commitment Letter are subject to customary conditions, including, without limitation, execution and delivery of definitive documentation consistent with the Debt Commitment Letter.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred approximately $3.5 million in transaction costs related to this pending Merger Agreement, all of which were expensed, and are included in Selling, general, and administrative on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
