Sale of Travel Health Business
On May 15, 2023, pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”), by and between the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries Emergent International Inc. and Emergent Travel Health Inc., and Bavarian Nordic, the Company completed the sale of its travel health business, including rights to Vivotif®, the licensed typhoid vaccine; Vaxchora®, the licensed cholera vaccine; the development-stage chikungunya vaccine candidate CHIKV VLP; the Company’s manufacturing site in Bern, Switzerland; and certain of its development facilities in San Diego, California.
At the closing, Bavarian Nordic paid a cash purchase price of $270.2 million, exclusive of customary closing adjustments for cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses of the business at closing. Bavarian Nordic may also be required to pay milestone payments of up to $80.0 million related to the development of CHIKV VLP and receipt of marketing approval and authorization in the U.S. and Europe, and earn-out payments of up to $30.0 million based on aggregate net sales of Vaxchora® and Vivotif® in calendar year 2026. On July 18, 2024, Bavarian Nordic announced that the European Medicines Agency had validated the marketing authorization application for CHIKV VLP, which triggered a development milestone payment receivable under the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the Company in the amount of $10.0 million. On August 13, 2024, Bavarian Nordic announced that the FDA has accepted and granted Priority Review for the Biologics License Application for CHIKV VLP, which triggered a milestone payment receivable under the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the Company in the amount of $20.0 million.
As a result of the divestiture, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $74.2 million, net of transaction costs of $4.0 million, recorded within “Gain (loss) on sale of business” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
In connection with the divestiture, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “Bavarian Nordic TSA”) with Bavarian Nordic to help support its ongoing operations. Under the Bavarian Nordic TSA, the Company provided certain transition services to Bavarian Nordic, including information technology, finance and enterprise resource planning, research and development, human resources, employee benefits and other limited services. Income from performing services under the Bavarian Nordic TSA was recorded within “Other, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. While the services under the Bavarian Nordic TSA were substantially completed in the third quarter of 2024, certain services continue to be provided. There was no Bavarian Nordic TSA services income for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The Bavarian Nordic TSA services income was $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $1.2 million and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
Sale of RSDL®
On July 31, 2024, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Emergent BioSolutions Canada Inc., entered into the RSDL® Agreement with SERB pursuant to which, among other things, the Company sold its worldwide rights to RSDL® to SERB. The RSDL® Transaction also included the sale to SERB of all the outstanding capital stock of Emergent Protective Products USA Inc. (“EPPU”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which leases a manufacturing facility in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, as well as certain assets related to RSDL®, including intellectual property rights, contract rights, inventory and marketing authorizations. In addition, the employees of EPPU joined SERB in connection with the RSDL® Transaction.
Pursuant to the RSDL® Transaction, SERB assumed certain government contracts related to RSDL® decontamination lotion, including the Company’s existing contract to supply RSDL® to the U.S. Department of Defense, through a new contract award to the Canadian Commercial Corporation.
At the closing, SERB paid a cash purchase price of $75.0 million, exclusive of customary closing adjustments related to inventory. In addition, SERB will owe the Company a $5.0 million payment upon achievement of a milestone relating to sourcing of a certain component of RSDL® decontamination lotion. In connection with the RSDL® Transaction, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $60.8 million, net of transaction costs of $4.1 million, recorded within “Gain (loss) on sale of business” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company determined that the disposal of RSDL® 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 the Company’s operations and financial results.
The Company and SERB entered into a transition services agreement (the “SERB TSA”) to ensure the orderly transition of RSDL® decontamination lotion and the related assets to SERB, and a supply agreement (the “SERB Supply Agreement”) pursuant to which they have a suite reservation at the Company’s Winnipeg facility where the Company will perform Bioservices activities to manufacture and supply bulk lotion to SERB. The Company and SERB also entered into a reverse supply agreement (together with the SERB TSA and the SERB Supply Agreement, the “SERB Agreements”) pursuant to which SERB will supply to the Company finished RSDL® for the purposes of the Company’s performance of certain transitional distribution services under customer contracts
that have not yet transferred to SERB. Under the SERB Agreements, the Company will retain a portion of net sales received upon delivery of RSDL® to the delayed transfer customers.
The Company accounted for this transaction as a multi-element arrangement and separated the discrete deliverables into different units of account. While there are multiple agreements, the Company determined that the agreements were agreed upon with a single commercial objective and accounted for all of the agreements on a combined basis. The discrete deliverables identified were the sale of the RSDL Transaction disposal group, the obligations under the supply agreement for the suite reservation at Winnipeg and the manufacture and supply of bulk lotion, and the transition services agreement and reverse supply agreement services. All of the deliverables within the agreements were priced at market and according to their relative standalone selling prices.
Sale of Baltimore-Camden Facility
On August 20, 2024, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the sale of its Drug Product facility in Baltimore-Camden to an affiliate of Bora. The Baltimore-Camden facility, which was part of the Company’s Bioservices segment, has clinical and commercial non-viral aseptic fill/finish services on four fill lines, including lyophilization, formulation development, and support services. Alongside the facility, approximately 350 Emergent employees joined Bora as part of the transaction. At closing, Bora paid a cash purchase price of approximately $35.0 million, which includes customary closing adjustments for working capital and transaction expenses of the business at closing.
As a result of the divestiture, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $36.5 million, net of transaction costs of $3.8 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 recorded within “Gain (loss) on sale of business” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $3.5 million of income, which reduced the loss previously recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2024 when the Company classified the Baltimore-Camden facility as held for sale. The reduction to the previously recognized loss represented a working capital adjustment, payable to the Company. The Company determined that the disposal of the Camden Site 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 the Company’s operations and financial results.
In connection with the divestiture, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “Bora TSA”) with Bora to help support its ongoing operations. Under the Bora TSA, the Company is providing certain transition services to Bora, including information technology, finance and enterprise resource planning, human resources, employee benefits and other limited services. Income from performing services under the Bora TSA is recorded within “Other, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and was $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
