Subsequent Events |
The Company performed a review of events subsequent to the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued and determined that there were no such events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements except as noted below.
On October 27, 2017 the Company entered into a Right to Sublicense Agreement (the “Sublicense Agreement”) with Baxalta Incorporated, Baxalta US Inc., and Baxalta GmbH (collectively, with their affiliates, “Baxalta”), wholly-owned subsidiaries of Shire. Pursuant to the Sublicense Agreement, the Company granted to Baxalta the right to grant a nonexclusive sublicense to certain patents related to the Company’s PolyXen technology that were previously exclusively licensed to Baxalta pursuant to an agreement between the Company and Baxalta (the “Licensed Patents”) in connection with products relating to the treatment of blood and bleeding disorders (the “Covered Products”). The term of the Sublicense Agreement continues on a country-to-country basis until the expiration of the last-to-expire Licensed Patents or upon certification from Baxalta that it is not receiving compensation for sales of Covered Products in a given country, whichever is later (the “Term”).
Pursuant to the Sublicense Agreement, Baxalta agreed to pay the Company (i) a one-time payment of seven million five hundred thousand dollars ($7,500,000) and (ii) single digit royalty payments based upon net sales of the Covered Products throughout the Term. The $7.5 million one-time payment was received in November 2017. |
