In addition, Eurofarma is responsible for regulatory filings for EXPAREL in these countries. The Company received a $0.3 million upfront payment that is partially refundable upon certain circumstances and will receive royalties based on Eurofarma’s future commercialization of the product and is also eligible to receive milestone payments that are triggered by the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial events.
