Asset Acquisition During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company acquired from Chimerix ("the Seller") the exclusive worldwide rights to brincidofovir, including TEMBEXA® and related assets (the “Transaction”). TEMBEXA is an oral antiviral medical countermeasure to treat smallpox approved by the FDA in June 2021. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), the Company paid $238.0 million upon closing of the Transaction, and is subject to potential milestone payments of up to $124.0 million contingent on the potential exercise by the USG of procurement options. The closing payment and the milestone payments were based on the actual procurement value of the procurement contract (the "BARDA Contract") with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”). Each milestone payment is associated with the exercise of future BARDA procurement options of TEMBEXA following the BARDA Contract base period. The Seller is also eligible to receive up to $12.5 million in regulatory milestones associated with the SymBio Pharmaceuticals Ltd. brincidofovir licensing arrangements assumed by the Company in the Transaction. The milestone payments will be recorded when the associated procurement options have been exercised and/or the regulatory milestones have been met and the consideration is paid or becomes payable. The total consideration paid in the Transaction was allocated based on the proportionate fair value of the assets acquired. We recorded $156.9 million in intangible assets, net and $82.3 million in inventories, net upon execution of the Transaction on our consolidate balance sheet. The Seller may also earn a 20% royalty on future gross profit of TEMBEXA in the United States associated with volumes above 1.7 million treatment courses of therapy during the exclusivity period of TEMBEXA. Outside of the United States, the Purchase Agreement also allows the Seller to earn a 15% royalty on all gross profit associated with TEMBEXA sales during the exclusivity period of TEMBEXA on a market-to-market basis. Refer to Note 5 "Intangible assets and goodwill" for additional information around the impacts of this asset acquisition on the current period results.
