AGREEMENT WITH AMAG

On January 8, 2017, the Company entered into the License Agreement with AMAG. Under the terms of the License Agreement, the Company granted to AMAG (i) an exclusive license in all countries of North America (“the Territory”), with the right to grant sub-licenses, to research, develop and commercialize products containing bremelanotide (each a Product, and collectively, Products), (ii) a non-exclusive license in the Territory, with the right to grant sub-licenses, to manufacture Products, and (iii) a non-exclusive license in all countries outside the Territory, with the right to grant sub-licenses, to research, develop and manufacture (but not commercialize) the Products.

 

Following the satisfaction of certain conditions to closing, the License Agreement became effective on February 2, 2017. On that date, AMAG paid the Company $60,000,000 as a one-time initial payment. Pursuant to the terms of and subject to the conditions in the License Agreement, AMAG is required to reimburse the Company up to an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 for reasonable, documented, direct out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company following February 2, 2017, in connection with the development and regulatory activities necessary to file an NDA for bremelanotide for HSDD in the United States related to Palatin’s development obligations.

 

The Company has determined there is no stand-alone value for the license, and that the license and the reimbursable direct out-of-pocket expenses, pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, represent a combined unit of accounting which totals $85,000,000. The Company is recognizing revenue of the combined unit of accounting over the arrangement using the input-based proportional method as the Company completes its development obligations. For year ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized $44,723,827 as license and contract revenue related to this transaction. As of June 30, 2017, $4,657577 was received and $15,116,822 was included in accounts receivable relating to reimbursable expenses. As of June 30, 2017, there is $35,050,572 of current deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet, related to this transaction.

 

In addition, pursuant to the terms of and subject to the conditions in the License Agreement, the Company will be eligible to receive from AMAG (i) up to $80,000,000 in specified regulatory milestone payments upon achievement of certain regulatory milestones, and (ii) up to $300,000,000 in sales milestone payments based on achievement of certain annual net sales milestones for all Products in the Territory.

 

AMAG is also obligated to pay the Company tiered royalties on annual net sales of Products, on a product-by-product basis, in the Territory ranging from the high single-digits to the low double-digits. The royalties will expire on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis until the latest to occur of (i) the earliest date on which there are no valid claims of the Company’s patent rights covering such Product in such country, (ii) the expiration of the regulatory exclusivity period for such Product in such country and (iii) ten years following the first commercial sale of such Product in such country. Such royalties are subject to reductions in the event that: (a) AMAG must license additional third party intellectual property in order to develop, manufacture or commercialize a Product, or (b) generic competition occurs with respect to a Product in a given country, subject to an aggregate cap on such deductions of royalties otherwise payable to the Company. After the expiration of the applicable royalties for any Product in a given country, the license for such Product in such country will become a fully paid-up, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable license.

 

The Company engaged Greenhill & Co. LLC (“Greenhill”) as the Company’s sole financial advisor in connection with a potential transaction with respect to bremelanotide. Under the engagement agreement with Greenhill, the Company was obligated to pay Greenhill a fee equal to 2% of all proceeds and consideration paid to the Company by AMAG in connection with the License Agreement, subject to a minimum fee of $2,500,000. The minimum fee of $2,500,000, less a credit of $50,000 for an advisory fee previously paid by the Company, was paid to Greenhill upon the closing of the licensing transaction. This amount will be credited toward amounts that become due to Greenhill in the future, provided that the aggregate fee payable to Greenhill will not be less than 2% of all proceeds and consideration paid to the Company by AMAG in connection with the License Agreement. The Company will pay Greenhill an aggregate total of 2% of all proceeds and consideration paid to the Company by AMAG in connection with the License Agreement, including future milestone and royalty payments, after crediting the $2,500,000 that was paid to Greenhill upon entering into the License Agreement with AMAG. The Company also reimbursed Greenhill $7,263 for certain expenses incurred in connection with its advisory services.

 

Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company has assigned to AMAG the Company’s manufacturing and supply agreements with Catalent Belgium S.A. to perform fill, finish and packaging of bremelanotide.
