In May 2019, Theravance Biopharma, who is the owner of 85% of the economic interests in TRC, initiated arbitration against the Company and TRC, relating to a dispute as to the determination by Innoviva (as manager of TRC) to cause TRC to explore potential reinvestment opportunities for the royalty proceeds received by GSK into initiatives that Innoviva believes will increase the value of TRC and TRELEGY® ELLIPTA®. Theravance Biopharma alleges that in causing TRC to not distribute substantially all royalty proceeds received from GSK, Innoviva breached the limited liability company operating agreement governing TRC (the “Operating Agreement”), as well as the fiduciary duties applicable to Innoviva as manager of TRC. The hearing in respect of the arbitration commenced on July 23, 2019 and is expected to last several days. While Innoviva believes that it has complied with all applicable duties and is not in breach of the Operating Agreement, Theravance Biopharma is alleging such breach and is seeking material damages and there is no certainty that the arbitrator will rule in favor of Innoviva.
