BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION
(a) Acquisition of Talon Therapeutics, Inc. and Related Contingent Consideration
Overview of Talon Acquisition
On July 17, 2013, we purchased all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Talon Therapeutics, Inc. (“Talon”). Through the acquisition of Talon, we gained worldwide rights to MARQIBO. The Talon purchase consideration comprised of (i) an aggregate upfront cash amount of $11.3 million, (ii) issuance of 3.0 million shares of our common stock, then equivalent to $26.3 million (based on a closing price of $8.77 per share on July 17, 2013), and (iii) the issuance of contingent value rights (“CVR”) initially valued at $6.5 million.
The CVR was valued using a valuation model that probability-weights expected outcomes (ranging from 50% to 100%) and discounts those amounts to their present value, using a discount rate of 25% (these represent unobservable inputs and are therefore classified as Level 3 inputs – see Note 2 (xiii)). The CVR has a maximum payout of $195.0 million if all sales and regulatory approval milestones are achieved, as summarized below:
 
$5.0 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $30.0 million in any calendar year
$10.0 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $60.0 million in any calendar year
$25.0 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $100.0 million in any calendar year
$50.0 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $200.0 million in any calendar year
$100.0 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $400.0 million in any calendar year
$5.0 million upon receipt of marketing authorization from the FDA regarding Menadione Topical Lotion

Talon CVR Fair Value as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014
The CVR fair value will continue to be evaluated on a quarterly basis. Current and future changes in its fair value results from the likelihood and timing of milestone achievement and/or the corresponding discount rate applied thereon. Adjustments to CVR fair value are recognized within “change in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(b) Acquisition of Rights to EVOMELA and Related Contingent Consideration
Overview of Acquisition of Rights to EVOMELA
In March 2013, we completed the acquisition of exclusive global development and commercialization rights to Captisol-enabled ®, propylene glycol-free MELPHALAN (which we recently branded as “EVOMELA”) for use as a conditioning treatment prior to autologous stem cell transplant for patients with multiple myeloma from CyDex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Ligand”) for an initial license fee of $3.0 million.
We accounted for this transaction as a business combination, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized on the balance sheet at their fair values, which involves our estimates of future discounted cash flows as of the transaction date.
We are required to pay Ligand additional amounts up to an aggregate $66.0 million, upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones and net sales thresholds (“Ligand Contingent Consideration”), and we also assumed full financial responsibility for its ongoing clinical and regulatory development program. We also must pay royalties in the range of 20% on our future net sales of EVOMELA in all territories.
Consideration Transferred
The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:
 
 
Cash consideration
$
3,000

Ligand Contingent Consideration
4,700

Total purchase consideration
$
7,700


Fair Value Estimate of Asset Acquired and Liability Assumed
The total purchase consideration is allocated to the acquisition of the net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date. The allocation of the total purchase price to the net assets acquired is as follows:
IPR&D EVOMELA rights
$
7,700


We estimated the fair value of the in-process research and development using the income approach. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount (discounted). Our measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The fair value estimate took into account our estimates of future incremental earnings that may be achieved upon regulatory approval, promotion, and distribution associated with the rights, and included estimated cash flows of approximately 10 years and a discount rate of approximately 25%.
 
The fair value of the contingent consideration liability assumed was determined using the probability of success and the discounted cash flow method of the income approach (representing unobservable inputs and are therefore classified Level 3 inputs), which assumes that FDA approval of EVOMELA will occur on or about December 31, 2015. Upon receipt of FDA approval, we will be obligated to make a milestone payment to Ligand of $6.0 million.
Ligand Contingent Consideration Fair Value as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014
The Ligand Contingent Consideration fair value will continue to be evaluated on a quarterly basis. Any changes in its fair value results from the likelihood and timing of milestone achievement and/or the corresponding discount rate applied thereon. Adjustments to Ligand Contingent Consideration fair value are recognized within “change in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(c) Allos Acquisition
We acquired Allos Therapeutics, Inc. (“Allos”) on September 5, 2012, which was accounted for as a business combination. Our total cash consideration for this acquisition was $205.2 million, through which we acquired FOLOTYN distribution rights. We have no contingent consideration obligations as part of this transaction.
