12.         Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has contractual commitments related primarily to contracts entered into with contract manufacturing organizations and contract research organizations in connection with the commercial manufacturing of XENLETA, the purchase of SIVEXTRO finished product and other research and development activities. The payments to the service providers are based on the achievement of milestones included within the agreements. Also, some of these contracts are subject to early termination clauses exercisable at the discretion of the Company.

XENLETA API Supply

On August 4, 2021, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Nabriva Therapeutics Ireland DAC, entered into an amendment, or the First Amendment, to its API Supply Agreement, or the Hovione Supply Agreement, with Hovione Limited, or Hovione, which provides for the long-term commercial supply of the active pharmaceutical ingredients, or API, for XENLETA. Under the First Amendment, Hovione agreed to cancel our May 2021 purchase order for XENLETA API, which represented our minimum purchase requirement under the Hovione Supply Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the First Amendment, Hovione agreed to reduce our annual minimum purchase requirements for XENLETA API to no minimum purchase requirement in 2021, by 50% from 2022 to 2024 and by 25% in 2025, in consideration for cash payments from us totaling €3.2 million and the right to a low single-digit royalty on total net sales of XENLETA in the United States for a period commencing on August 4, 2021 and ending on November 22, 2030, or the Royalty Term, which royalty payments shall be no greater than an aggregate of €10.0 million. If the aggregate amount of royalties payments received by Hovione under the First Amendment is less than an aggregate of €4.0 million, we are obligated to pay Hovione the difference in a lump sum payment at the end of the Royalty Term. In addition, pursuant to the First Amendment, Hovione agreed to extend the duration of the Hovione Supply Agreement from November 22, 2025 to November 22, 2030 with annual minimum purchase requirements for 2026 to 2030 at the newly agreed annual minimum purchase amount for 2025. Pursuant to the First Amendment, upon the occurrence of certain events of insolvency for us, any unpaid minimum annual commitment amounts and royalty amounts under the agreement will become immediately due and payable.

Zavante Obligations

In connection with the acquisition of Zavante in July 2018, the Company is obligated to pay up to $97.5 million in contingent consideration to the former Zavante shareholders, of which $25.0 million would become payable upon the first approval of a NDA from the FDA for CONTEPO for any indication, or the Approval Milestone Payment, and an aggregate of up to $72.5 million would become payable upon the achievement of specified sales milestones, or the Net Sales Milestone Payments. The Company’s shareholders have approved the issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares in settlement of potential milestone payment obligations that may become payable in the future to former Zavante stockholders, including the Approval Milestone Payment which will be settled in Company ordinary shares. The Company also has the right to settle the Net Sales Milestone Payments in Company ordinary shares, except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 23, 2018, by and among Nabriva Therapeutics plc and certain of its subsidiaries and Zavante Therapeutics, Inc. and Cam Gallagher, solely in his capacity as representative of the former Zavante stockholders (the “Merger Agreement”).

The Company is obligated to pay $3.0 million in cash upon marketing approval by the FDA with respect to any oral, intravenous or other form of fosfomycin, or the Zavante Products, and milestone payments of up to $26.0 million that may be settled in ordinary shares in the aggregate upon the occurrence of various specified levels of net sales with respect to the Zavante Products. In addition, Zavante is obligated to make annual royalty payments of a mid-single-digit percentage of net sales of Zavante Products, subject to adjustment based on net sales thresholds and with such percentage reduced to low single-digits if generic fosfomycin products account for half of the applicable market on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis. Zavante will also pay a mid-single-digit percentage of transaction revenue in connection with the consummation of the grant, sale, license or transfer of market exclusivity rights for a qualified infectious disease product (within the meaning of the 21st Century Cures Act) related to a Zavante Product.
