As previously reported, on February 20, 2020, Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Progenics) entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger with Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (Lantheus Holdings) and Plato Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Lantheus Holdings (Merger Sub), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Progenics, with Progenics surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Lantheus Holdings (the Merger). In connection with the Merger, Progenics filed a definitive proxy statement, dated March 19, 2020, and a supplement to the definitive proxy statement, dated May 14, 2020 (as supplemented, the Proxy Statement), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), relating to the special meeting of its stockholders to be held on June 16, 2020 to vote on matters related to the Merger.
As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, ten securities lawsuitssix putative class actions and four individual actionshave been filed against Progenics and the board of directors of Progenics (the Progenics Board) alleging inadequate disclosure by Progenics relating to the Merger, three of which also name Lantheus Holdings and Merger Sub as defendants. Five of ten lawsuits were voluntarily dismissed without prejudice by plaintiffs, with no settlements from, or other agreed obligations by, the respective defendants thereunder.
On November 22, 2019, a purported stockholder filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, captioned Johnson v. Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-02183 (the Johnson Action), against Progenics and members of the Progenics Board. On March 5, 2020, the Johnson Action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. On November 25, 2019, a second purported stockholder filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, captioned Thompson v. Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-02194, against Progenics, certain members of the Progenics Board, Lantheus Holdings, and Merger Sub. On March 10, 2020, the Thompson Action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. On November 26, 2019, a third purported stockholder filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Wang v. Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-10936 (the Wang Action), against Progenics and members of the Progenics Board. On June 1, 2020, the Wang Action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. On December 9, 2019, a fourth purported stockholder filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, captioned Michael A. Bernstein IRA v. Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al., Civil Action No. 2:19-cv-21200 (the Bernstein IRA Action), against Progenics, members of the Progenics Board, Lantheus Holdings, and Merger Sub. On April 21, 2020, an amended complaint was filed in the Bernstein IRA Action, and on May 6, 2020, the Bernstein IRA Action was transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York under Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-03521. On December 12, 2019, a fifth purported stockholder filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, captioned Pill v. Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-02268, against Progenics and members of the Progenics Board. The purported stockholder voluntarily dismissed this action without prejudice and the court closed the case on March 10, 2020. On December 20, 2019, a sixth purported stockholder filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Hess v. Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-11683 (the Hess Action), against Progenics, Progenics Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and members of the Progenics Board. On April 8, 2020, an amended complaint was filed in the Hess Action. On June 4, 2020, the Hess Action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. On April 2, 2020, a seventh purported stockholder filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Goldstone v. Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al., Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-02750 (the Goldstone Action), against Progenics, members of the Progenics Board, Lantheus Holdings, and Merger Sub. On April 6, 2020, the purported stockholder in the Johnson Action filed a new putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Johnson v. Progenics Pharmaceuticals, et al., Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-02847 (the Johnson S.D.N.Y. Action), against Progenics and members of the Progenics Board. On April 8, 2020, an eighth purported stockholder filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Krueger v. Progenics Pharmaceuticals Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-02913 (the Krueger Action), against Progenics and members of the Progenics Board. On June 3, 2020, a ninth purported stockholder filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Sigrist v. Progenics Pharmaceuticals, et al., Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-04238 (the Sigrist Action), against Progenics and members of the Progenics Board.
The complaints in the Bernstein IRA, Goldstone, Johnson S.D.N.Y., Krueger and Sigrist Actions (collectively, the Merger Litigation) allege, among other things, that Progenics and the members of the Progenics Board violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and 17 C.F.R. § 244.100 and Rule 14a-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, by misstating or omitting certain allegedly material information in the registration statement filed with the SEC on November 12, 2019, the amended registration statement filed with the SEC on March 16, 2020 and/or the Schedule 14A proxy statement filed with the SEC on March 19, 2020 related to the Merger. The Bernstein IRA Action also alleges that Lantheus Holdings and Merger Sub violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange
Act. The Goldstone Action further alleges that the members of the Progenics Board breached their fiduciary duties of care, loyalty, and good faith to the stockholders of Progenics related to the Merger, that Progenics, Lantheus Holdings and Merger Sub aided and abetted such breaches of fiduciary duty and that Lantheus Holdings and Merger Sub violated Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaints seek, among other things, injunctive relief preventing the consummation of the Merger, damages in the event of consummation of the Merger, declaratory relief related to disclosures in the registration statement, and certain fees and expenses.
The parties to the Merger Litigation subsequently engaged in arms-length negotiations to attempt to resolve the claims asserted in the Merger Litigation, and reached an agreement whereby the Company would file on this Current Report on Form 8-K certain supplemental disclosures regarding the Merger. Progenics believes that the Merger Litigation is without merit and that no supplemental disclosure is required under applicable law. However, in order to avoid the risk of such actions delaying or adversely affecting the Merger and to minimize the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, Progenics has determined to voluntarily supplement certain disclosures in the Proxy Statement with the supplemental disclosures set forth below (the Supplemental Disclosures).
Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall be deemed an admission of the legal merit, necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary, Progenics specifically denies all allegations in the complaints described above that any additional disclosure was or is required or material.
Supplemental Disclosures In Connection with the Merger Litigation
In connection with the settlement of the Merger Litigation, Progenics has agreed to make these supplemental disclosures to the Proxy Statement. The Supplemental Disclosures should be read in conjunction with the disclosures contained in the Proxy Statement, which in turn should be read in its entirety. To the extent that information set forth in the Supplemental Disclosures differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall supersede or supplement the applicable information contained in the Proxy Statement. All page references to the Proxy Statement and capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Proxy Statement.
1. | The section of the Proxy Statement entitled Lantheus Holdings Proposal I: Approval of the Stock Issuance and Progenics Proposal I: Adoption of the Merger AgreementBackground of the Merger and Certain Other Developments is hereby supplemented as follows: |
A. | The disclosure in the second full paragraph on page 96 is hereby amended and restated as follows (with the new text in underline): |
On April 26, 2019, the Progenics Board held a special meeting. Also present was Mr. Fabbio. Mr. Crowley provided an update regarding recent activities with Velan. Mr. Crowley also discussed the potential engagement of Jefferies LLC, which is referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Jefferies, relating to the activities of Velan and the Progenics Boards review and consideration of potential strategic transactions, including a potential strategic transaction with Lantheus Holdings or Party A. Following discussion and to assist the Progenics Board as it relates to the Velan matter and the consideration of potential strategic transactions, the Progenics Board approved the engagement of Jefferies on substantially the same terms as were provided to the Progenics Board. Pursuant to the terms of Jefferies engagement and based on the revised terms of the merger that were subsequently agreed to in February 2020, Progenics has agreed to pay Jefferies for its financial advisory services in connection with the merger a fee in the amount of approximately $7.4 million, excluding certain additional amounts described below that may be payable to Jefferies based on the aggregate consideration paid to Progenics stockholders in the merger, including payments under the CVRs. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, approximately $5.1 million remains payable to Jefferies contingent upon completion of the merger. Jefferies fee will also include 1.5% of any amounts paid to Progenics stockholders under the CVRs, which portion of Jefferies fee will be paid if and when such amounts are paid in respect of the CVRs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the aggregate consideration ultimately paid to Progenics stockholders in the merger, including payments under the CVRs, is (i) at least $8.25 and less than or equal to $9.25 per share of Progenics common stock, Jefferies fee will be increased by approximately $1.1 million and 2.5% of any such amount in excess of $8.25 per share of Progenics common stock; (ii) greater than $9.25 and less than or equal to $10.25 per share of Progenics common stock, Jefferies fee will be increased by an additional amount equal to 3.5% of any such amount in excess of $9.25 per share of Progenics common stock; and (iii) greater than $10.25 per share of Progenics common stock, Jefferies fee will be increased by an additional amount equal to 4.5% of any such amount in excess of $10.25 per share of Progenics common stock.
B. | The disclosure in the last full paragraph beginning on page 99 is hereby amended and restated as follows (with the new text in underline): |
Between June 30, 2019 and July 8, 2019, representatives of Jefferies, at the Progenics Boards instruction, contacted representatives of five potential strategic acquirers regarding potentially acquiring Progenics (none of which were Party A or Party B). By July 17, 2019, all such potential strategic acquirers had declined to pursue the opportunity to bid to acquire Progenics, except that one potential strategic acquirer expressed interest in potentially acquiring a specific development program of Progenics. None of those potential strategic acquirers (nor any other potential strategic acquirers other than Party A and Lantheus Holdings) entered into a confidentiality agreement with Progenics.
C. | The disclosure in the eighth full paragraph on page 118 is hereby amended and restated as follows (with the new text in underline): |
Commencing on November 19, 2019, the Progenics Board began interviewing financial advisors and Progenics, on the recommendation of the Progenics Board, eventually retained BofA Securities as a financial advisor to Progenics. The reconstituted Progenics Board believed that it was appropriate to engage a new financial advisor at this point in time to assist the Board in its independent assessment of the value of Progenics, the prospects for seeking additional value from Lantheus Holdings and, in that event, assisting Progenics in negotiations with Lantheus Holdings. The Company selected BofA Securities to act as its financial advisor in connection with the merger on the basis of BofA Securities experience in transactions similar to the merger, its reputation in the investment community and its familiarity with the Company and its business.
D. | The disclosure in the third full paragraph on page 119 is hereby amended and restated as follows (with the new text in underline): |
Between December 9, 2019 and December 20, 2019, the Progenics Board held four meetings to discuss, among other things, the progress of Korn Ferrys search for a Chief Executive Officer, the business of Progenics, the Progenics Boards fiduciary duties with respect to the merger, communications with stockholders and employees, the engagement and work of BofA Securities, pre-merger integration planning, corporate governance matters and communications with Lantheus Holdings. The Progenics Board did not conduct another market check because such action was not permitted under the no-solicitation provision of the original merger agreement with Lantheus Holdings (which provision the Progenics Board agreed to following the thorough market check conducted by Jefferies throughout June and July 2019, which did not result in any potential strategic acquirers other than Lantheus). Also, after the announcement of the transaction when Progenics could respond to an unsolicited proposal under certain circumstances, no other potential acquirer approached Progenics.

A. | The disclosure in the third full paragraph on page 144 under the heading Lantheus Holdings Stand-Alone Valuation AnalysesDiscounted Cash Flow Analysis is hereby amended and restated as follows (with the new text in underline and the stricken language removed): |
A discounted cash flow analysis is a traditional valuation methodology used to derive a valuation of an asset or set of assets by calculating
the present value of estimated future cash flows of the asset or set of assets. Present value refers to the current value of future cash flows or amounts and is obtained by discounting those future cash flows or amounts by a
discount rate that takes into account macroeconomic assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of capital, expected returns and other appropriate factors. SVB Leerink performed a discounted cash flow analysis to calculate the estimated
present value of the stand-alone, unlevered, after-tax free cash flows that Lantheus Holdings was forecasted to generate from December 31, 2019 through fiscal year 2023, which unlevered, after-tax free cash flows were derived from the Lantheus Management Forecasts. SVB Leerink calculated terminal values for Lantheus Holdings by applying perpetuity growth rates of between 0.0% to 1.0%, which SVB
Leerink based on its experience and professional judgment, given the nature of Lantheus Holdings and its business and the industries in which it operates, to estimated 2023 unlevered, after-tax free cash
flows. The cash flows and terminal values were then discounted to present value as of December 31, 2019 using discount rates ranging from 8.0% to 10.0%. This range of discount rates was derived from a based on SVB Leerinks
analysis of Lantheus Holdings weighted average cost of capital calculation for Lantheus Holdings, which SVB Leerink performed utilizing the capital asset pricing model with inputs that SVB Leerink determined were relevant based on
publicly available data and SVB Leerinks professional judgment, including estimated after-tax cost of debt, derived from analyzing the cost of capital for Lantheus Holdings comparable
companies and taking into account certain metrics including the comparable companies levered and unlevered betas for certain companies deemed by SVB Leerink to be comparable to Lantheus Holdings, a historical
and the equity market risk premium, size premia and yields for U.S. treasury notes (which inputs SVB
Leerink determined based on publicly available data and SVB Leerinks professional judgment). In performing its discounted cash flow analysis, SVB Leerink adjusted for (i) cash balances, including cash and cash equivalents, estimated by Lantheus Holdings management to equal approximately $93.0 million as of December 31, 2019, (ii) term loans, estimated by Lantheus Holdings management to equal approximately $195.0 million as of December 31, 2019, and (iii) the estimated cash flow impact of Lantheus Holdings available net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes.
B. | The disclosure in the fifth full paragraph on page 146 under the heading Progenics Stand-Alone Valuation AnalysisSum-of-the-Parts Discounted Cash Flow Analysis is hereby amended and restated as follows (with the new text in underline and the stricken language removed): |
SVB Leerink calculated terminal values for the foregoing
items by applying perpetuity growth rates of between (10.0%) to 0.0%, which SVB Leerink estimated based on its professional judgment and experience, given the nature of Progenics and its business, the industries in which it operates, and the risk of
generic entry, to 2036 projected revenue, except that no terminal value was ascribed to RELISTOR or PyL. The cash flows and terminal values were then discounted to present value as of December 31, 2019 using discount rates ranging from 10.0% to
12.0%. This range of discount rates was derived from a based on SVB Leerinks analysis of Progenics weighted average cost of capital calculation for Progenics, which SVB Leerink performed utilizing the capital
asset pricing model with inputs that SVB Leerink determined were relevant based on publicly available data and SVB Leerinks professional judgment, including estimated after-tax cost of debt,
derived from analyzing the cost of capital for Progenics comparable companies and taking into account certain metrics including the comparable companies levered and unlevered betas for certain companies deemed by
SVB Leerink to be comparable to Progenics, a historical and the equity market risk premium, size premia and yields for U.S. treasury notes (which inputs
SVB Leerink determined based on publicly available data and SVB Leerinks professional judgment). From the foregoing analyses, SVB Leerink derived a range of illustrative equity values for each product candidate and for Progenics
share of partnership revenues, and a range of negative illustrative present values for Progenics unallocated corporate costs. In performing its
sum-of-the-parts discounted cash flow analysis, SVB Leerink adjusted for (i) cash balances, including cash and cash
equivalents, estimated by Progenics management to equal approximately $42 million as of December 31, 2019, (ii) royalty loans, estimated by Progenics management to equal approximately $39 million as of December 31, 2019, and
(iii) the estimated cash flow impact of Progenics available net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes.

BofA Securities performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Progenics by calculating the estimated present value as of December 31, 2019 of the stand-alone, unlevered, after-tax free cash flows that Progenics was forecasted to generate, based on the Progenics financial projections, during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 through the fiscal year ending December 31, 2033. BofA Securities calculated terminal values for Progenics by applying to Progenics stand-alone, unlevered, after-tax normalized free cash flows of $20 million in the terminal year a selected range of perpetuity growth rates of (10.0%) to 0.0%, which range was based on input from Progenics management. The cash flows and terminal values were discounted to present value as of December 31, 2019 using a selected range of discount rates of 10.50% to 14.00%, which was based on an estimate of Progenics weighted average cost of capital. Progenics implied equity value was calculated (based on information provided by the management of Progenics) by reducing the Progenics implied enterprise value by the Progenics net debt as of December 31, 2019 (based on cash and cash equivalents of $42 million and royalty loans of $39 million as provided by Progenics management). BofA Securities also calculated the estimated present value (as of December 31, 2019) of the NOLs that Progenics management forecasted would be utilized during calendar years 2019 through 2033 (with and without change of control limitations on Progenics NOL carryforwards per section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code). The NOLs were then discounted to present value as of December 31, 2019 using a discount rate range of 10.50% to 14.00%. This analysis indicated an approximate implied per share equity value reference range for the Progenics common stock ranging from $7.01 to $9.15 without change of control limitations on Progenics NOL carryforwards and $6.55 to $8.65 with change of control limitations on Progenics NOL carryforwards (calculated based on 86.8 million shares of Progenics common stock and 5.7 million Progenics options outstanding (using the treasury stock method with a weighted average strike price of $6.26) as provided by Progenics management as of February 14, 2020).
