Certain transactions
NOTE 2 – Certain transactions:
The Company has entered into alliances and other arrangements with third parties to acquire rights to products it does not have, to access markets it does not operate in and to otherwise share development costs or business risks. The Company’s most significant agreements of this nature are summarized below.
MODAG
In October 2021, Teva announced a license agreement with MODAG GmbH (“Modag”) that will provide Teva an exclusive global license to develop, manufacture and commercialize Modag’s lead compound
(TEV-56286)
and a related compound
(TEV-56287).
TEV-56286
was initially developed for the treatment of Multiple System Atrophy (“MSA”) and Parkinson’s disease, and has the potential to be applied to other treatments for neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease. A phase 1b clinical trial is currently being completed for
TEV-56286.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, Teva made an upfront payment of $10 million to Modag that was recorded as an R&D expense. Modag may be eligible for future development milestone payments, totaling an aggregate amount of up to $70 million, as well as future commercial milestones and royalties.
Alvotech
In August 2020, Teva entered into an agreement with biopharmaceutical company Alvotech for the exclusive commercialization in the U.S. of five biosimilar product candidates. The initial pipeline for this collaboration contains biosimilar candidates addressing multiple therapeutic areas, including a proposed biosimilar to Humira
®
. Under the terms of the agreement, Alvotech is responsible for the development, registration and supply of the biosimilar product candidates and Teva will exclusively commercialize the products in the United States. Teva paid an upfront payment in the third quarter of 2020 and additional upfront and milestone payments in the second quarter of 2021, which were recorded as R&D expenses. Additional development and commercial milestone payments of up to
$400 
million, as well as
royalty payments, may be payable by Teva over the next few years. Teva and Alvotech will share profit from the commercialization of these biosimilars. Alvotech was previously involved in litigation involving certain IP and trade secrets claims filed by Abbvie in relation to Alvotech’s proposed biosimilar to Humira
®
, all of which were settled on March 8, 2022. Pursuant to that settlement, Alvotech and Teva may sell Alvotech’s proposed biosimilar to Humira
®
in the United States beginning on July 1, 2023, provided that U.S. regulatory approval is obtained by that date. In September 2022, Alvotech announced they received a Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) from the FDA with respect to Alvotech’s proposed biosimilar to Humira

Eli Lilly and Alder BioPharmaceuticals
In December 2018, Teva entered into an agreement with Eli Lilly & Co. (“Lilly”) resolving the European Patent Office opposition they had filed against Teva’s AJOVY
®
patents. The settlement agreement with Lilly also resolved Lilly’s action to revoke the patent protecting AJOVY in the United Kingdom.
On January 8, 2018, Teva signed a global license agreement with Alder BioPharmaceuticals (“Alder”). The agreement validates Teva’s intellectual property and resolves Alder’s opposition to Teva’s European patent with respect to anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antibodies, including the withdrawal of Alder’s appeal before the European Patent Office. Under the terms of the agreement, Alder received a
non-exclusive
license to Teva’s anti-CGRP antibodies patent portfolio to develop, manufacture and commercialize eptinezumab in the United States and worldwide, excluding Japan. Teva received a $25 million upfront payment that was recognized as revenue during the first quarter of 2018, and a $25 million milestone payment in March 2020 that was recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2020. The agreement stipulates additional development and commercial milestone payments to Teva of up to $150 million, as well as future royalties.
Otsuka
On May 12, 2017, Teva entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (“Otsuka”) providing Otsuka with an exclusive license to develop and commercialize AJOVY in Japan. Otsuka paid Teva an upfront payment of $50 million in consideration for the transaction. In the third quarter of 2020, Otsuka submitted an application to obtain manufacturing and marketing approval for AJOVY in Japan and, as a result, paid Teva a milestone payment of $15 million, which was recognized as revenue in the third quarter of 2020. AJOVY was approved in Japan in June 2021 and launched on August 30, 2021. As a result of the launch, Otsuka paid Teva a milestone payment of $35 million, which was recognized as revenue in the third quarter of 2021. Teva may receive additional milestone payments upon achievement of certain revenue targets. Otsuka also pays Teva royalties on AJOVY sales in Japan
.
Takeda
In December 2016, Teva entered into a license agreement with a subsidiary of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Ltd. (“Takeda”), for the research, development, manufacture and commercialization of Attenukine
®
technology. Teva received a $30 million upfront payment
and a 
milestone payment of $20 million in 2017. During the second quarter of 2022, Takeda initiated
its phase 2
study of modakafusp alfa (formerly TAK 573 or TEV 48573) and as a result paid Teva a milestone payment of $25 million, which was recognized as revenues in the second quarter of 2022. The license agreement stipulates additional milestone payments to Teva of up to $519 million with respect to this product candidate, as well as future royalties.
Regeneron
In September 2016, Teva and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Regeneron”) entered into a collaborative agreement to develop and commercialize Regeneron’s pain medication product, fasinumab. Teva and Regeneron share in the global commercial rights to this product (excluding Japan, Korea and nine other Asian countries), as well as ongoing associated R&D costs of approximately $1 billion. Teva made an upfront payment of $250 million to Regeneron in the third quarter of 2016 and additional payments for achievement of development milestones in an aggregate amount of $120 million were paid during 2017 and 2018. The agreement stipulates additional development and commercial milestone payments of up to $2,230 
million, as well as future royalties. In October 2022, development of fasinumab for the treatment of osteoarthritic pain was
discontinued.
 
MedinCell
In November 2013, Teva entered into an agreement with MedinCell for the development and commercialization of multiple long-acting injectable (“LAI”) products. The lead product candidate selected was risperidone LAI
(TV-46000)
suspension for subcutaneous use for the treatment of schizophrenia. In August 2021, the FDA accepted the new drug application (“NDA”) for risperidone LAI, based on phase 3 data from two pivotal studies. Teva leads the clinical development and regulatory process and is responsible for commercialization of this product candidate. MedinCell may be eligible for development milestones, and future commercial milestones of up to $112 
million in respect of risperidone LAI. Teva will also pay MedinCell royalties on net
sales. In April 2022, the FDA issued a CRL regarding the NDA for risperidone LAI. Teva resubmitted the NDA in October 2022 and awaits the FDA’s response.
The second selected product candidate is TEV-44749, a LAI for the treatment of schizophrenia. In the third quarter of 2022, Teva decided to progress development of the product to phase 3, as a result of which a
$3 
million milestone payment was paid to MedinCell. MedinCell may become eligible for further milestones and royalties on sales of
TEV-44749.
