Disposition and License Agreements

Sunosi U.S. Disposition

In March 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to divest Sunosi to Axsome Therapeutics, or Axsome. In May 2022, we completed the U.S. divestiture of Sunosi and expect to complete the ex-U.S. divestiture later this year. Under the terms of the sale agreement, Axsome received the rights to Sunosi in all of the existing territories available to us. We received an upfront payment of $53.0 million, and have the right to receive a high single-digit royalty on Axsome’s U.S. net sales of Sunosi in current indications and a mid-single-digit royalty on Axsome’s U.S. net sales of Sunosi in future indications.

Upon closing, we recognized a loss on disposal of $40.8 million within selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We are accounting for the contingent consideration in the form of the future royalty as it is earned.

We determined that the disposal of Sunosi 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.

License Agreements

In the second quarter of 2022, we entered into a licensing agreement with Werewolf Therapeutics, Inc., or Werewolf, to acquire exclusive global development and commercialization rights to Werewolf's investigational WTX-613, now referred to as JZP898. JZP898 is a differentiated, conditionally-activated interferon alpha (IFNα) INDUKINE™ molecule. Under the terms of the agreement, we made an upfront payment of $15.0 million to Werewolf, which was recorded as acquired in-process research and development, or IPR&D, expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Werewolf is eligible to receive development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments of up to $1.26 billion and, if JZP898 is approved, a tiered, mid-single-digit percentage royalty on net sales of JZP898.

In the second quarter of 2022, we entered into a licensing agreement with Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd, or Sumitomo, to acquire exclusive development and commercialization rights in the U.S., Europe and other territories for DSP-0187, now referred to as JZP441. JZP441 is a potent, highly selective oral orexin-2 receptor agonist with potential application for the treatment of narcolepsy, IH and other sleep disorders. Under the terms of the agreement, we made an upfront payment of $50.0 million to Sumitomo, which was recorded as acquired IPR&D expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Sumitomo is eligible to receive development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments of up to $1.09 billion and, if JZP441 is approved, a tiered, low double-digit royalty on Jazz's net sales of JZP441.
