Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and contingencies | 7. Commitments and contingencies Mayne Pharma Agreement Mayne Pharma paid us approximately $12.1 million at closing on December 30, 2022, for the acquisition of net working capital, as determined in accordance with the Transaction Agreement, and such payment is subject to certain adjustments for a period of up to two years following the Closing Date. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we revised certain estimates; including an incremental accrual of approximately $2 million for net working capital adjustments related to the Transaction Agreement . Pursuant to the Mayne License Agreement Amendment, Mayne Pharma also paid us approximately $1.0 million in prepaid royalties on the Closing Date. The prepaid royalties will reduce the first four quarterly payments that would have otherwise been payable pursuant to the Mayne License Agreement by an amount equal to $257,250 per quarterly royalty payment plus interest calculated at 19% per annum accruing from the Closing Date until the date such quarterly royalty payment is paid to us. Additionally, we owed Mayne Pharma $1.5 million payable from one royalty payment. During the second quarter of 2023, Mayne Pharma held back our royalty payment and we funded an additional $ 0.9 million in August 2023 to settle the original $1.5 million payable. We recognized $(0.1) million and $0.8 million in royalty revenues from Mayne Pharma during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Population Council License Agreement Under the terms of our license agreement with the Population Council, Inc. (the “Population Council License Agreement”), we paid the Population Council a milestone payment of $20.0 million in 2018, which was within 30 days following the approval by the FDA of the New Drug Application (“NDA”) for ANNOVERA, and $20.0 million in 2019 following the first commercial batch release of ANNOVERA. The aggregate $40.0 million of milestone payments were recorded as license rights. The Population Council was also eligible to receive future payments upon the achievement of certain commercial sales milestones of ANNOVERA. On December 30, 2022, we assigned the ANNOVERA license to Mayne Pharma. Our rights and obligations under the Population Council License Agreement have been transferred to Mayne Pharma and may revert back to us upon the occurrence of certain events. Legal proceedings In February 2020, we received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter (the “IMVEXXY Notice Letter”) regarding an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) submitted to the FDA by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (“Teva”). The ANDA seeks approval from the FDA to commercially manufacture, use, or sell a generic version of the 4 mcg and 10 mcg doses of IMVEXXY. In the IMVEXXY Notice Letter, Teva alleges that TherapeuticsMD patents listed in the FDA’s Orange Book that claim compositions and methods of IMVEXXY (the “IMVEXXY Patents”) are invalid, unenforceable, and/or will not be infringed by Teva’s commercial manufacture, use, or sale of its proposed generic drug product. The IMVEXXY Patents identified in the IMVEXXY Notice Letter expire in 2032 or 2033. In April 2020, we filed a complaint for patent infringement against Teva in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey arising from Teva’s ANDA filing with the FDA. We are seeking, among other relief, an order that the effective date of any FDA approval of Teva’s ANDA would be a date no earlier than the expiration of the IMVEXXY Patents and equitable relief enjoining Teva from infringing the IMVEXXY Patents. Teva has filed its answer and counterclaim to the complaint, alleging that the IMVEXXY Patents are invalid and not infringed. In July 2021, following a proposal by Teva, the District Court entered an order temporarily staying all proceedings in the IMVEXXY litigation, which order was filed under seal. In September 2021, the District Court made available a public version of the order following the parties’ agreement to a consent motion to redact information Teva contended was confidential. The order provides that the statutory stay that prevents the FDA from granting final approval of the ANDA for 30 months from the date of the IMVEXXY Notice Letter will be extended for the number of days that the stay of the IMVEXXY litigation is in place. The length of the stay of the IMVEXXY litigation is dependent on further action by Teva. We have incurred and recorded legal costs amounting to $2.3 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets as of September 30, 2023, for the IMVEXXY Paragraph IV legal proceeding since we believe that we will successfully prevail in this legal proceeding. Upon the successful conclusion of the legal proceeding, the related capitalized legal costs will be reclassified to patents, in license rights and other intangible assets, net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, and such costs will be amortized over the remaining useful life of the patents. If we are unsuccessful in this legal proceeding, then the related capitalized legal costs for this legal preceding and any unamortized IMVEXXY patent costs that were previously capitalized will be immediately expensed in the period in which we become aware of an unsuccessful legal proceeding. Beginning on December 30, 2022 and per the Mayne License Agreement, Mayne Pharma is responsible for all enforcement of our patents, including the litigation discussed above with respect to Teva. In September 2023, one of our former contractors retained to market Annovera under Title X, filed a lawsuit that accused us of breach of contract. We answered their complaint and filed breach of contract counterclaims. From time to time, we are involved in other litigations and proceedings in the ordinary course of business. We are currently not involved in any other litigations and proceedings that we believe would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Off-balance sheet arrangements As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have current or future effects on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that we consider material. Employment agreements In connection with our transformation into a pharmaceutical royalty company, the termination of our executive management team (except for Mr. Marlan Walker, our former General Counsel and current Chief Executive Officer) and all other employees was completed by December 30, 2022. Severance obligations for all employees other than executive officers were paid in full in the first quarter of 2023. As of September 30, 2023, we employ one full-time employee primarily engaged in an executive position. We have engaged external consultants who support our relationship with current partners and assist with certain financial, legal, and regulatory matters and the continued wind-down of our historical business operations. The separation of our former Interim Co-Chief Executive Officers, former Interim Chief Financial Officer and other executives from TherapeuticsMD was each a termination without “Good Cause,” as defined in their respective employment agreements. In the aggregate, as of September 30, 2023, we have accrued severance liabilities for executive termination obligations of $1.6 million.
