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.
Sanofi
On October 3, 2023, Teva entered into an exclusive collaboration with Sanofi to co-develop and co-commercialize Teva’s anti-TL1A (TEV-’574) asset, a novel anti-TL1A therapy for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, two types of inflammatory bowel disease, which is currently in Phase 2b clinical trials. Under the terms of the collaboration agreement,
in
partial consideration
of
the licenses granted to Sanofi, Teva will receive an upfront payment
of $500 
million shortly following closing. Additionally, Teva will receive up
 to
 
$1 
billion in development and launch milestones. Each company will equally share the
 remaining
development costs globally and net profits and losses in major markets, with other markets subject to a royalty arrangement, and Sanofi will lead the development of the Phase 3 program. Teva will lead commercialization of the product in Europe, Israel and specified other countries, and Sanofi will lead commercialization in North America, Japan, other parts of Asia and the rest of the world. The transaction will become effective after customary closing conditions are met, including necessary competition authority approval.
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, emrusolmin (TEV-’286) and a related compound (TEV-’287). Emrusolmin (TEV-’286) 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 for emrusolmin (TEV-’286) was completed and Teva expects to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial in the coming months. 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
$30 
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 proposed biosimilars to Humira
®
(adalimumab) and Stelara
®
(ustekinumab). 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 U.S. In July 2023, Alvotech and Teva amended their collaboration agreement, adding two new biosimilar candidates as well as line extensions of two current biosimilar candidates to their partnership.
 
 
Teva made an upfront payment in the third quarter of 2020 and additional upfront and milestone payments in the second quarter of 2021 and January 2023, each of which were recorded as R&D expenses, the latter in the fourth quarter of 2022. Additional development and commercial milestone payments of up to approximately
$400 
million, royalty payments, and milestone payments related to the amendment of the collaboration agreement entered into in July 2023, may be payable by Teva over the next few years. Teva and Alvotech will share profit from the commercialization of these biosimilars. 
The amendment of the collaboration agreement entered into in July 2023 includes increased involvement by Teva regarding manufacturing and quality at Alvotech’s manufacturing facility. In connection with Teva’s amendment of its strategic partnership with Alvotech, on September 29, 2023, Alvotech issued
$40 
million of subordinated convertible bonds to Teva. 
With respect to the proposed biosimilar to Humira
®
, Alvotech and Teva may sell it in the U.S. once U.S. regulatory approval is obtained after Alvotech addresses the FDA’s comments included in the complete response letters (“CRLs”) from September and December 2022 and from April and June 2023, stating that the application could not be approved at this time based on deficiencies associated with Alvotech’s manufacturing facility. On September 20, 2023, Alvotech announced that the FDA had accepted for review its resubmitted Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for the proposed biosimilar to Humira
®
.
With respect to the proposed biosimilar to Stelara®, on June 12, 2023, Alvotech and Teva reached a settlement and license agreement with Johnson & Johnson, granting a licensed entry date in the U.S. no later
than February 21, 2025,
provided that U.S. regulatory approval is obtained by that date. On October 17, 2023, Alvotech announced that it had received a CRL from the FDA in respect of its proposed biosimilar to Stelara®, based upon the deficiencies associated with its manufacturing facility referred to above. 
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
TM
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 ’573)
and as a result paid Teva a milestone payment of $25 million, which was recognized as revenue 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.
MedinCell
In November 2013, Teva entered into an agreement with MedinCell for the development and commercialization of multiple long-acting injectable (“LAI”) products. Teva leads the clinical development and regulatory process and is responsible for commercialization of these products. The lead product is risperidone LAI (formerly known as
TV-46000).
On April 28, 2023, the FDA approved UZEDY
TM
(risperidone) extended-release injectable suspension for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults, which was launched in the U.S. in May 2023. MedinCell may be eligible for future sales-based milestones of up to $105 million in respect of UZEDY. Teva will also pay MedinCell royalties on net sales.
The second selected product candidate is olanzapine LAI (TEV-’749) for the treatment of schizophrenia. In the third quarter of 2022, Teva decided to progress development of the product to Phase 3, and as a result a $
3
 million milestone payment was paid to MedinCell which was recognized as R&D expenses. MedinCell may become eligible for further milestones and royalties on sales of olanzapine LAI (TEV-’749).
