On May 15, 2023, pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”), by and between the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries Emergent International Inc. and Emergent Travel Health Inc., and Bavarian Nordic (“Bavarian Nordic”), the Company completed the previously announced sale of the Company’s travel health business, including rights to Vivotif®, the licensed typhoid vaccine; Vaxchora®, the licensed cholera vaccine; the development-stage chikungunya vaccine candidate CHIKV VLP; the Company’s manufacturing site in Bern, Switzerland; and certain of its development facilities in San Diego, California.
At the closing, Bavarian Nordic paid a cash purchase price of $270.2 million, exclusive of customary closing adjustments for cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses of the business at closing. Bavarian Nordic may also be required to pay
milestone payments of up to $80.0 million related to the development of CHIKV VLP and receipt of marketing approval and authorization in the U.S. and Europe, and earn-out payments of up to $30.0 million based on aggregate net sales of Vaxchora® and Vivotif® in calendar year 2026.
As a result of the divestiture, during the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $74.2 million, net of transaction costs of $4.0 million recorded within "Gain on sale of business" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company determined that the disposal of the travel health business does not qualify for reporting as a discontinued operation since it does not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. No adjustments were made to prior period results as a result of the disposal.
In connection with the divestiture, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) with Bavarian Nordic to help support its ongoing operations. Under the TSA, the Company provides certain transition services to Bavarian Nordic, including information technology, finance and enterprise resource planning, research and development, human resources, employee benefits and other limited services. Income from performing services under the TSA was recorded within "Other, net" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and was $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
