NOTE 4. RECENT PRODUCT ACQUISITIONS AND LICENSES

 

Acquisition of VEVYETM U.S. and Canadian Commercial Rights

 

In July 2023, the Company acquired commercial rights of VEVYE (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) 0.1%, an ophthalmic drug product, for the U.S. and Canadian markets (the “VEVYE Acquisition”). The Company acquired the commercial rights to VEVYE by entering into a license agreement with Novaliq GmbH (“Novaliq”). As consideration, the Company made initial payments to Novaliq totaling $8,000,000 and will pay low double-digit royalties on net sales of VEVYE along with potential commercial milestone payments.

 

The Company accounted for the VEVYE Acquisition as an acquisition of assets and capitalized the initial payments of $8,000,000 and costs of $70,000 associated with the transaction.

 

Acquisition of Certain U.S. and Canadian Commercial Rights to Santen and Eyevance Products

 

In July 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Eyevance Pharmaceuticals, LLC and a License Agreement with Santen S.A.S. (collectively, the “Santen Agreements”), each a subsidiary of Santen Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (collectively, “Santen”). Pursuant to the Santen Agreements, the Company acquired the exclusive commercial rights to assets associated with the following ophthalmic products (collectively, the “Santen Products”): FLAREX, NATACYN, ZERVIATE, VERKAZIA and FRESHKOTE in the U.S., and VERKAZIA and CATIONORM PLUS in Canada.

 

The transactions pursuant to the Santen Agreements are referred to in these notes as the “Santen Products Acquisition.”

 

Under the terms of the Santen Agreements, the Company made an initial one-time payment of $8,000,000. In addition, the Santen Agreements provide for various one-time contingent milestone payments associated with certain manufacturing-related events as well as low-double digit royalty payments on net sales of VERKAZIA and high-single digit royalty payments on net sales of CATIONORM PLUS. Under the Santen Agreements, the Company also assumed certain obligations associated with other third parties that require mid-single digit royalties on sales of FRESHKOTE and ZERVIATE. Immediately following the closing and subject to certain conditions, prior to the transfer of the Santen Products NDAs and other marketing authorizations to the Company, Santen continued to sell the Santen Products on the Company’s behalf and transfer the net profit from the sale of the Santen Products to the Company. In October 2023, the Company completed the transfer of the U.S. NDAs and rights of the Santen Products.

 

  

The assets acquired in the Santen Products Acquisition are identifiable intangible asset groups in similar asset classes and all directly related to the product NDAs and marketing authorizations acquired. The developed technology is within one major intangible asset class. No workforce/employees were included in the Santen Products Acquisition and the Company is required to utilize its own business inputs/processes to transfer and commercialize the Santen Products.

 

The Company incurred $139,000 in costs associated with the Santen Products Acquisition, the payment of $8,000,000 at closing and a near term milestone of $500,000. The total purchase price of the Santen Products Acquisition was $8,639,000 and was accounted for as an asset acquisition. At the time of the Santen Products Acquisition and as of December 31, 2023 and 2024, the remaining contingent consideration due was not considered probable and reasonably estimable and therefore, no amount was included in the purchase price of the Santen Products Acquisition. At the time the contingent consideration due becomes probable and reasonably estimable the additional consideration, if any, paid will be allocated to all of the assets on a pro rata basis based on their initial estimated fair values as a percent of the total purchase price.

 

Acquisition of ILEVRO, NEVANAC, VIGAMOX, MAXIDEX, and TRIESENCE

 

In December 2022, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “NVS 5 APA”) with Novartis Technology, LLC and Novartis Innovative Therapies AG (together, “Novartis”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase from Novartis the exclusive commercial rights to assets associated with the following ophthalmic products (collectively the “NVS 5 Products”) in the U.S. (the “NVS 5 Acquisition”): ILEVRO, NEVANAC, VIGAMOX, MAXIDEX, and TRIESENCE.

 

Under the terms of the NVS 5 APA, the Company made a one-time payment of $130,000,000 at closing in January 2023, with up to another $45,000,000 due in a milestone payment related to the timing of the commercial availability of TRIESENCE. The milestone payment due upon commercial availability for TRIESENCE decreased from $45,000,000 to $37,000,000 on January 20, 2024. Pursuant to the NVS 5 APA and various ancillary agreements, immediately following the closing and subject to certain conditions and prior to the transfer of the NVS 5 Products NDAs to the Company, Novartis continued to sell the NVS 5 Products on the Company’s behalf and transfer the net profit from the sale of the NVS 5 Products to the Company. Novartis has agreed to supply certain NVS 5 Products to the Company for a period of time after the NDAs are transferred and to assist with technology transfer of the NVS 5 Products manufacturing to other third-party manufacturers, if needed.

 

The assets acquired in the NVS 5 Acquisition are identifiable intangible asset groups in similar asset classes and all directly related to the five product NDAs acquired. The developed technology is within one major intangible asset class. No workforce/employees were included in the NVS 5 Acquisition, and the Company is required to utilize its own business inputs/processes to transfer and commercialize the NVS 5 Products and NDAs.

 

The Company incurred $558,000 in costs associated with the NVS 5 Acquisition. Including such acquisition costs and the payment of $130,000,000 at closing, the total purchase price of the NVS 5 Acquisition was $130,558,000 and was accounted for as an asset acquisition. At the time of the NVS 5 Acquisition and as of December 31, 2023, the contingent consideration due related to the commercial availability of TRIESENCE was not considered probable and reasonably estimable and, therefore, no amount was included in the purchase price of the NVS 5 Acquisition. In 2024, the Company determined the milestone related to the commercial availability of TRIESENCE was probable of being achieved, and recognized the $37,000,000 milestone payment as an increase in the amount of intangible assets and allocated to all of the assets on a pro rata basis based on their initial estimated fair values as a percent of the total purchase price. The Company does not consider any amounts related to TRIESENCE to be in-process research and development (IPR&D) as considered within the scope of ASC 730, Research and Development.
