FOLOTYN Agreement and Drug Development Liability
FOLOTYN AGREEMENT AND DRUG DEVELOPMENT LIABILITY
As the result of our acquisition of Allos Therapeutics, Inc. on September 5, 2012 (through which we obtained in-license rights for FOLOTYN), we assumed its FOLOTYN development obligations under an active strategic collaboration agreement with a third-party, Mundipharma (the “Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement”). Under the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement, we retained full commercialization rights for FOLOTYN in the U.S. and Canada, with Mundipharma having exclusive rights to commercialize FOLOTYN in all other countries in the world (the “Mundipharma Territories”).
On May 29, 2013, the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement was amended and restated (the “Amended Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement”), in order to modify: (i) the scope of the licensed territory, (ii) milestone payments, (iii) royalty rates, and (iv) drug development obligations. In connection with the Amended Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement, we received a one-time $7 million payment from Mundipharma for certain research and development activities to be performed by us.
As a result of the Amended Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement, (a) Europe and Turkey were excluded from Mundipharma’s commercialization territory, (b) we may receive regulatory milestone payments of up to $16 million, and commercial progress and sales-dependent milestone payments of up to $107 million, (c) we will receive tiered double-digit royalties based on net sales of FOLOTYN within Mundipharma’s licensed territories, and (d) we and Mundipharma will bear our own FOLOTYN development costs.
On May 29, 2015 and effective as of May 1, 2015, we entered into an amendment to the Amended Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, among other things, the parties revised the conditions to our exercise of the option to gain commercialization rights in Switzerland from Mundipharma, and also revised tiered double digit royalties payable by Mundipharma on net sales in Switzerland.
The fair value of this liability is included in the current and long-term portions of “drug development liability” within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, and it includes our assumptions about personnel needed to perform these research and development activities, third party costs for projected clinical trial enrollment, and patient treatment-related follow up through approximately 2031.
The fair value of our “drug development liability” within our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets was estimated using the discounted income approach model. The unobservable inputs (i.e., Level 3 inputs - see Note 2(xiii)) in this valuation model that have the most significant effect on these liabilities include (i) estimates of research and development personnel costs needed to perform the research and development services, (ii) estimates of expected cash outflows to third parties for services and supplies during the expected period of performance through 2031, and (iii) an appropriate discount rate for these expenditures. These inputs are reviewed by management on a quarterly basis for continued applicability.
We assess this liability at each reporting date and record its adjustment through “research and development” expense in our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
