Commitments and Contingencies	Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies Commitments In August 2021, we entered into a revolving credit and guaranty agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Incyte Corporation, as borrower, subsidiary Incyte Holdings Corporation, as a guarantor, a group of lenders (the “Lenders”), and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. Under the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have committed to provide an unsecured three-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500.0 million. We may increase the maximum revolving commitments or add one or more incremental term loan facilities to the Credit Agreement, subject to obtaining commitments from any participating lenders and certain other conditions, in an amount not to exceed (1) $250.0 million plus (2) an additional amount, so long as after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount, the Company’s pro forma consolidated leverage ratio would not exceed 0.25 above its consolidated leverage ratio in effect immediately prior to giving effect to such increase. Loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at a per annum rate equal to either (a) a base rate plus an applicable rate per annum varying from 0.125% to 0.875% depending on the consolidated leverage ratio or (b) a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable rate per annum varying from 1.125% to 1.875% depending on the consolidated leverage ratio. Commitment fees payable on the undrawn amount range from 0.150% per annum to 0.225% per annum, based on our consolidated leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2021, we are in compliance with all financial and operational covenants under the terms of the Credit Agreement and there were no outstanding borrowings or letters of credit outstanding. We capitalized approximately $1.3 million in debt issuance costs related to the execution of the Credit Agreement. The debt issuance costs are being amortized over the term of the facility. Contingencies In December 2018, we received a civil investigative demand from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) for documents and information relating to our speaker programs and patient assistance programs, including our support of non-profit organizations that provide financial assistance to eligible patients. In November 2019, the qui tam complaint underlying the DOJ inquiry was unsealed (“Complaint”), at which time we learned that a former employee whom we had terminated had made certain allegations relating to the programs described above. We filed an Answer to the Complaint on January 22, 2020 and on November 12, 2020 we filed a Motion for Summary Judgment (“Motion”). All briefing on the Motion was completed on December 22, 2020. While we deny that any improper claims were submitted to government payers, we agreed on May 4, 2021 to settle the matter with the DOJ Civil Division for $12.6 million, plus certain statutory fees, which was recorded in selling, general and administrative expense during the year ended December 31, 2021. In the ordinary course of our business, we may become involved in lawsuits, proceedings, and other disputes, including commercial, intellectual property, regulatory, employment, and other matters. We record a reserve for these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We have entered into the collaboration agreements described in Note 6, as well as various other collaboration agreements that are not individually, or in the aggregate, significant to our operating results or financial condition at this time. We may in the future seek to license additional rights relating to technologies or drug development candidates in connection with our drug discovery and development programs. Under these agreements, we may be required to pay upfront fees, milestone payments, and royalties on sales of future products.
