Out-License of ZEVALIN in Certain Ex-U.S. Territories
OUT-LICENSE OF MARQIBO, ZEVALIN, & EVOMELA IN CHINA TERRITORY
Overview of CASI Out-License
On September 17, 2014, we executed three product out-license agreements with a perpetual term (collectively, the “CASI Out-License”) with CASI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“CASI”), a publicly-traded biopharmaceutical company (NASDAQ: CASI) with a primary focus on the China market. Under the CASI Out-License, we granted CASI the exclusive rights to distribute two of our commercialized oncology drugs, ZEVALIN and MARQIBO, and our Phase 3 drug candidate, EVOMELA (“CASI Out-Licensed Products”) in greater China (which includes Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau). In return, we received CASI equity for the rights related to ZEVALIN and EVOMELA and a secured promissory note for the rights related to MARQIBO. Additionally, under certain conditions which generally expire on September 17, 2019, we have a right to receive additional CASI common stock in order to maintain our post-investment ownership percentage if CASI issues additional securities. In February 2016, July 2016, and October 2016, we acquired an additional 1.7 million, 1.1 million and 1.8 million common shares of CASI at par value, respectively, resulting in our holding of approximately 10 million common shares as of December 31, 2016.
CASI will be responsible for the development and commercialization of these three drugs, including the submission of import drug registration applications to regulatory authorities and conducting any confirmatory clinical studies in greater China. We will provide CASI with future commercial supply of the CASI Out-Licensed Products under typical market terms.
Proceeds Received in the Third Quarter of 2014

(b)

$
9,959

(c)
 
(a)
Value determined based on the September 17, 2014 closing price of 5.4 million shares of CASI common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market of $1.60 per share. Our current intention is to hold these securities on a long-term basis. Accordingly, we have presented its value of $11.5 million as of December 31, 2016 within “other assets” (rather than “marketable securities”) on our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in fair value of these securities is reported within “unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities” on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss.

(b)
Value estimated using the terms of the $1.5 million promissory note, the application of a synthetic debt rating based on CASI’s publicly-available financial information, and the prevailing interest yields on similar public debt securities as of September 17, 2014. The full balance of the promissory note was prospectively reclassified beginning December 31, 2016 to "other assets" (presented within non-current assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets) from "other receivables" (presented within current assets) due to this note's maturity being extended to March 17, 2018.

(c)
Presented within “license fees and service revenue” in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 (see below).
In addition, CASI will be responsible for paying any royalties or milestones that we are obligated to pay to our third-party licensors resulting from the achievement of certain milestones and/or sales of CASI Out-Licensed Products, but only to the extent of the greater China portion of such royalties or milestones.
License Fee Revenue Recognized in the Second Quarter of 2015
The $9.7 million value of the upfront proceeds (undiscounted, and net of certain foreign exchange adjustments) from CASI were recognized in 2015 within “license fees and service revenue” on our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The timing of this revenue recognition corresponds with the execution of supply agreements with CASI for ZEVALIN, MARQIBO, and EVOMELA. These agreements allow CASI to procure CASI Out-Licensed Products directly from approved third parties, and in such case, do not require our future involvement for their commercial supply.

Out-License of ZEVALIN in Certain Ex-U.S. Territories
OUT-LICENSE OF ZEVALIN IN CERTAIN EX-U.S. TERRITORIES
On November 16, 2015, we entered into an out-license agreement with Mundipharma International Corporation Limited for their commercialization of ZEVALIN in Asia (excluding India and Greater China), Australia, New Zealand, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America (including the Caribbean). In return, we received $18 million (comprised of $15 million received in December 2015 and $3 million received in January 2016). Of these proceeds, $15 million was recognized within "license fees and service revenue" in the fourth quarter of 2015, and $1.8 million of the $3 million payment was recognized in the same caption for the year ended December 31, 2016 on our accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of December 31, 2016, $1.3 million remains deferred and is presented within current "deferred revenue" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. We are also eligible to receive an additional $2 million upon Mundipharma's achievement of a specified sales milestone, that if/when achieved, will also be reported within "license fees and service revenue".

As Mundipharma has sales of ZEVALIN kits in their territories, the remaining unrecognized portion of this
$3 million value will be reported by us within "license fees and service revenue" on an established per-unit basis. Mundipharma is required to reimburse us for our payment of royalties due to Bayer Pharma AG ("Bayer") from their ZEVALIN sales - see Note 17(b)(ii).
