1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial StatementsThroughout its history, the mission of PDL Biopharma,BioPharma, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “PDL”)
has been to improve the lives of patients by aiding in the successful development of innovative therapeutics and healthcare technologies. PDL was founded in 1986 as Protein Design Labs, Inc. when it pioneered the humanization of monoclonal antibodies, enabling the discovery of a new generation of targeted treatments that have had a profound impact on patients living with different cancers as well as a variety of other debilitating diseases. In 2006, the Company changed its name to PDL BioPharma, Inc.

Historically, the Company generated a substantial portion of its revenues through license agreements related to patents covering the humanization of antibodies, which it refers to as the Queen et al. patents. In 2012, the Company began providing alternative sources of capital through royalty monetizations and debt facilities, and, in 2016, the Company began acquiring commercial-stage products and launching specialized companies dedicated to the commercialization of these products. In 2019, and as a further evolution of the Company’s strategy, it began to enter into strategic transactions involving innovative late clinical-stage or early commercial-stage therapeutics. Consistent with this strategy, on April 10, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Evofem Biosciences, Inc. (“Evofem”), pursuant to which it invested $60.0 million in a private placement of securities structured in two tranches. To date, the Company has consummated eighteen transactions, ten of which are active and outstanding.

In December 2019, the Company announced that it had completed a strategic review process and decided to halt the execution of its growth strategy, cease additional strategic investments and pursue a formal process to unlock value by monetizing its assets and returning net proceeds to stockholders (the “monetization strategy”). Pursuant to the Company’s monetization strategy, the Company does not expect to enter into any additional strategic transactions or investments. The Company further announced in December 2019 that it would explore a variety of potential transactions in connection with the monetization strategy, including a sale of the Company, divestiture of the Company’s assets or businesses, a spin-off transaction, a merger or a combination thereof.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company approved a plan of complete liquidation (the “Plan of Liquidation”) and passed a resolution to seek stockholder approval at its next Annual Meeting of Stockholders to dissolve the Company under Delaware state law in the event the Board concludes that the whole Company sale process is unlikely to maximize the value that can be returned to the stockholders. The Company has not set a definitive timeline to file for dissolution and intends to pursue its monetization strategy in a disciplined and cost-effective manner seeking to maximize returns to stockholders. Subsequently, the Company began a comprehensive program to market and sell its investments. As of March 31, 2020, the Pharmaceutical segment and the royalty right assets within the Income Generating Assets segment met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Those investments are reported as discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and as Assets and Liabilities held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. While the Company cannot provide a definitive timeline for the liquidation process, it has been targeting the end of 2020 for completing the monetization of its key assets. However, the Company recognizes that the duration and extent of the public health issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic make it possible, and perhaps probable, that the timing may be delayed.  

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of PDL have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (United States) (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. The financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), that management of the Company believes are necessary for a fair presentationstatement of the periods presented. These interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent interim period.year.
 
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016,2019, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 1, 2017.11, 2020. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2016,2019, included herein, has been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date, as adjusted to conform with the financial statement presentation as of and for the three months ended March 31. 2020 as discussed in Note 2, Discontinued Operations Classified as Assets Held for Sale, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

During
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the quarter ended September 30, 2017,amounts reported in the Company corrected errors in itsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The accounting estimates that require management’s most significant, difficult and subjective judgments include the valuation of royalty rights - at fair value, assets and liabilities held for sale, product revenue recognition and allowances for customer rebates, the valuation of notes receivable and inventory, the assessment of recoverability of intangible assets and their estimated useful lives, the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation, the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation of warrants to acquire shares of common stock. Furthermore, the impact on accounting estimates and judgments on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations due to COVID-19 has introduced additional uncertainties. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Based on the composition of its existing investment portfolio, the Company structured its operations in four segments designated as Medical Devices, Strategic Positions, Pharmaceutical and Income Generating Assets. During the second quarter of 2019, and in connection with the investment in Evofem, the Company added a new segment designated as Strategic Positions. This had no impact on its prior segment reporting structure.

The Company’s Medical Devices segment consists of revenue derived from the LENSAR® Laser System sales made by the Company’s subsidiary, LENSAR, Inc. (“LENSAR”), which may include equipment, Patient Interface Devices (“PIDs” or “consumables”), procedure licenses, training, installation, warranty and maintenance agreements.
The Company’s Strategic Positions segment consists of an investment in Evofem. The Company’s investment includes shares of common stock and warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock. Evofem is a publicly-traded clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing innovative products to address unmet needs in women’s sexual and reproductive health. Evofem is leveraging its proprietary Multipurpose Vaginal pH Regulator (MVP-R™) platform to develop PhexxiTM (L-lactic acid, citric acid and potassium bitartrate) for hormone-free birth control.
The Company’s Pharmaceutical segment consists of revenue derived from branded prescription medicine products sold under the name Tekturna® and Tekturna HCT® in the United States and Rasilez® and Rasilez HCT® in the rest of the world and an authorized generic form of Tekturna sold in the United States (collectively, the “Noden Products”). The branded prescription Noden Products were acquired from Novartis Pharma AG (“Novartis”) in July 2016 (the “Noden Transaction”) by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Noden Pharma DAC (“Noden DAC”). The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Noden Pharma USA Inc. (“Noden USA”) launched its authorized generic form of Tekturna in the United States in March 2019.
The Company’s Income Generating Assets segment consists of revenue derived from (i) royalty rights, (ii) notes and other long-term receivables, (iii) equity accounts, which decreased deferred tax assets by $20.4 million, decreased retained earnings by $29.9 millioninvestments and increased additional paid-in capital by $9.5 million. The Company concluded that these errors are not material to(iv) royalties from issued patents in the previously issued financial statements.United States and elsewhere covering the humanization of antibodies (“Queen et al. patents”).

Significant Accounting Policies

ThereAssets Held for Sale

Assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale when all of the following criteria for a plan of sale have been no materialmet: (1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the assets; (2) the assets are available for immediate sale, in their present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; (3) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the assets have been initiated; (4) the sale of the assets is probable and is expected to be completed within one year; (5) the assets are being actively marketed for a price that is reasonable in relation to their current fair value; and (6) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the significantplan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn. When all of these criteria have been met, the assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale in the balance sheet. Assets classified as held for sale are reported at

the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization of assets ceases upon designation as held for sale. The assets and liabilities held for sale are recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale, respectively.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations comprise those activities that were disposed of during the period or which were classified as held for sale at the end of the period, represent a separate major line of business or geographical area that can be clearly distinguished for operational and financial reporting purposes and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The profits and losses are presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations Classified as Assets Held for Sale, for additional information.

Severance and retention

After the Company announced its monetization strategy, it recognized that its ability to execute on its plan and optimize returns to its shareholders depended to a large extent on its ability to retain the necessary expertise to effectively transact with respect to its assets. On December 21, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board adopted a Wind Down Retention Plan in which the Company’s executive officers and other employees who are participants in the Company’s Severance Plan are eligible to participate. Under the Wind Down Retention Plan, participants are eligible to earn a retention benefit in consideration for their continued employment with the Company. The Wind Down Retention benefits are equivalent to previously disclosed compensation payments contemplated in connection with a change in control under the Company’s existing Severance Plan. Under the Wind Down Retention Plan, payment of the retention benefit to any participant will occur upon termination of the participant’s employment with the Company either by the Company without cause or by the participant for good reason. The retention benefit, if paid, would be in lieu of (and not in addition to) any other severance compensation that could become payable to the participant under the Company’s Severance Plan. In connection with the adoption of the Wind Down Retention Plan, a severance liability is being recorded over the remaining service period for the participating employees. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has recorded a severance liability of $3.0 million. Expenses associated with severance payments and accruals are reflected in Severance and retention on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Wind Down Retention Plan also provides that, consistent with the existing terms of our Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”), the vesting of all outstanding equity awards held by participants as of the date the Wind Down Retention Plan was adopted will be accelerated upon the earlier of: (i) a termination of the participant’s employment with the Company either by the Company without cause or by the participant for good reason or (ii) the consummation of a change in control (as defined in the Equity Plan) of the Company. In addition, the post-termination exercise period for all outstanding stock options will be extended until their expiration date. In the first quarter of 2020, in connection with the Board adopting the Plan of Liquidation all of the stock options and restricted stock granted to our employees and executive officers accelerated and vested under the change in control definition in the Equity Plan, other than certain outstanding awards under the 2016/20 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The expense associated with the accelerated vesting, totaling $15.7 million is reported as Severance and retention on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

For a discussion of other accounting policies, discussed inrefer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, that2019. Summarized below are of significance, or potential significancethe accounting pronouncements and policies adopted subsequent to the Company.December 31, 2019 in addition to those described above.

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, intended to improve the accounting for share-based payment transactions as part of its simplification initiative. The ASU requires entities to record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as an income tax benefit or expense in the statement of income. The recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies and changes to diluted earnings per share are to be applied prospectively.  For tax benefits that were not previously recognized because the related tax deduction had not reduced taxes payable, the Company recorded a $7.7 million cumulative-effect adjustment in retained earnings as of the beginning of 2017, the year of adoption. The Company applied the presentation changes for excess tax benefits from financing activities to operating activities in the statement of cash flows using a prospective transition method. The guidance allows for an election to recognize forfeitures as they occur rather than on an estimated basis. The Company will continue to account for forfeitures on an estimated basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there were $0.2 million excess tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income and classified as an operating activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, included in ASC 805, Business Combinations, which revises the definition of a business. The revised definition clarifies that outputs must be the result of inputs and substantive processes that provide goods or services to customers, other revenue, or investment income. The guidance will be effective for the Company's annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the new definition of a business during the first quarter of 2017, and it did not have a material impact on its business practices, financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new standard can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (i.e., full retrospective adoption) or with the cumulative effect of


initially applying the update recognized at the date of the initial application (i.e., modified retrospective adoption) along with additional disclosures. Revenue from financial instruments which are valued under Subtopic 825 will not be subject to the application of ASU 2014-09. As a result, the Company believes that Royalty Rights - At Fair Value are financial instruments within the scope of Subtopic 825 and will be specifically exempted from applying the new revenue standard.

This new standard will replace most of the existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard, as amended, becomes effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company currently anticipates adopting this standard using the full retrospective method to restate each prior period presented.

The new revenue standard is principle based and interpretation of those principles may vary from company to company based on their unique circumstances. It is possible that interpretation, industry practice, and guidance may evolve as companies and the accounting profession work to implement this new standard. The Company is still in the process of evaluating the effect of the new standard on the Company’s historical financial statements and disclosures. While the Company has not completed its evaluation, the Company currently believes that the impact to revenue and expense recognized will not be material to any of the years presented. As the Company completes its evaluation of this new standard, new information may arise that could change the Company’s current understanding of the impact to revenue and expense recognized.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which seeks to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by, among other things, recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU No. 2016-02 becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2016-02 and assessing the impact, if any, it may have on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new guidance amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of losses. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 has an effective dateon January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of the fiscal years beginning December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-13 and assessing thethis standard did not have a material impact if any, it may have toon the Company’s consolidated resultsfinancial statements. As a consequence of operations, financial positionadopting ASU 2016-13, the Company’s accounts receivable accounting policy has been updated, as follows:

Accounts and cash flows.Notes Receivable

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)


The Company makes estimates of the collectability of accounts receivable.  In doing so, the Company analyzes historical bad debt trends, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.  Amounts are charged off against the allowance for credit losses when the Company determines that recovery is unlikely and the Company ceases collection efforts.The Company applies the practical expedient for its collateral-dependent notes receivable.  Estimated credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral (less costs to sell, as applicable). 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement. The new guidance modifies disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have an effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements on the adoption date and no adjustment to prior year Consolidated Financial Statements was required.

In August 2016,2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,2018-15, Classification of Certain Cash ReceiptsIntangibles-Goodwill and Cash PaymentsOther-Internal-Use Software. The new standard providesguidance reduces complexity for specificthe accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement and aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15 on January 1, 2020 using the prospective transition option. The adoption did not have an effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements on the adoption date and no adjustment to prior year Consolidated Financial Statements was required.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance how certain transactionsto improve consistent application. For public companies, the amendments in ASU No. 2019-12 are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods withwithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early2020, with early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-15 and assessing the impact if any, it may have to the Company’s Condensedof this guidance on its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.Financial Statements.

2. Discontinued Operations Classified as Assets Held for Sale

In October 2016,March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Intra-Entity TransfersCompany announced its Plan of Assets Other Than Inventory, which requires companiesLiquidation and passed a resolution to accountseek stockholder approval at its next Annual Meeting of Stockholders to dissolve the Company under Delaware state law in the event that the Board concludes that a whole Company sale is unlikely to maximize the value that can be returned to the stockholders. The Company has not set a definitive timeline for the income tax effectsliquidation and intends to pursue the liquidation strategy in a disciplined and cost-effective manner seeking to maximize the value that can be returned to stockholders. As a result of intercompany salesthese actions and transferssubsequent efforts to monetize the Company’s key assets, as well as the sale of these key assets other than inventoryrepresenting a strategic shift in the operations of the Company, the assets held for sale and discontinued operations criteria were met for specific assets or components of the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the period in which a component meets the transfer occurs. The new standard is effectiveassets held for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (i.e. 2018 for a calendar-year entity). Early adoption is permitted for all entities assale and discontinued operations criteria, an entity must present the assets and liabilities of the beginning of an annual period. The guidance is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening retained earningsdiscontinued operation separately in the periodasset and liability sections of adoption. The Company is currently analyzing the impact of ASU No. 2016-16 on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which requires entities to show the changes in total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. When cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one line item on the balance sheet for the new guidance requires a reconciliationcurrent and comparative reporting periods. The prior period balance sheet is reclassified for the held for sale items. For statements of operations, the current and prior periods report the results of operations of the totalscomponents in the statement of cash flows to the related captions on the balance sheet. The reconciliation can either be presented either on the face of the statement of cash flows or in the notes to the financial statements.  The new standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein and is to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently analyzing the impact of ASU No. 2016-18 on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Royalty Rights - At Fair Value

DepomedAssertio (Depomed) Royalty Agreement

On October 18, 2013, the Company entered into the Royalty Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Depomed“Assertio Royalty Agreement”) with Assertio Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly known as Depomed, Inc.), and Depo DR Sub, LLC (together, “Depomed”“Assertio”), whereby the Company acquired the rights to receive royalties and milestones payable on sales of five Type 2 diabetes products licensed by DepomedAssertio in exchange for a $240.5 million cash payment. Total consideration was $241.3 million, which was comprised of the $240.5 million cash payment to DepomedAssertio and $0.8 million in transaction costs.

The rights acquired include Depomed’sAssertio’s royalty and milestone payments accruing from and after October 1, 2013: (a) from Santarus, Inc. (“Santarus”) (which, which was subsequently acquired by Salix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Salix), which itself was acquired by Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (“Valeant”), which, in July 2018, changed its name to Bausch Health Companies Inc. (“Bausch Health”) with respect to sales of Glumetza (metformin HCL extended-release tablets) in the United States; (b) from Merck & Co., Inc. with respect to sales of Janumet® XR (sitagliptin and metformin HCL extended-release tablets); (c) from Janssen Pharmaceutica N.V. with respect to potential future development milestones and sales of its recently approved fixed-dose combination of Invokana® (canagliflozin)(canagliflozin, a sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor) and extended-release metformin tablets, marketed as Invokamet XR®; (d) from Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly (“Lilly”) and Company with respect to potential future development milestones and sales of the investigational fixed-dose combinations of drugs and extended-release metformin subject to Depomed’sAssertio’s license agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim, including its recently approved product,products, Jentadueto XR®

and Synjardy XR®; and (e) from LG Life Sciences and ValeantBausch Health for sales of extended-release metformin tablets in Korea and Canada, respectively.

UnderIn February 2013, a generic equivalent to Glumetza was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and in August 2016, two additional generic equivalents to Glumetza were approved by the FDA. In February 2016, Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc., in August 2017, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., and in July 2018, Sun Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“Sun”) each launched a generic equivalent approved product. In May 2017, the Company received notification that a subsidiary of Valeant had launched an authorized generic equivalent product in February 2017, and the Company received royalties on such authorized generic equivalent product under the same terms as the branded Glumetza product, retroactive to February 2017. The Company continues to monitor whether the generic competition further affects sales of Glumetza and thus royalties on such sales paid to the Company, and the impact of the Depomedlaunched authorized generic equivalent. Due to the uncertainty around Bausch Health’s marketing and pricing strategy, as well as Sun’s recently launched generic product and limited historical demand data after generic market entrance, the Company may need to further evaluate future cash flows in the event of more rapid reduction or increase in market share of Glumetza and its authorized generic equivalent product and/or a further erosion in net pricing.

The Company determined that its royalty purchase interest in Depo DR Sub, LLC represented a variable interest in a variable interest entity. However, the Company did not have the power to direct the activities of Depo DR Sub, LLC that most significantly impact Depo DR Sub, LLC’s economic performance and was not the primary beneficiary of Depo DR Sub, LLC; therefore, Depo DR Sub, LLC was not subject to consolidation by the Company.

On August 2, 2018, PDL Investment Holding, LLC (“PDLIH”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and assignee from the Company under the Assertio Royalty Agreement, entered into an amendment to the Assertio Royalty Agreement with Assertio. Pursuant to the amendment, PDLIH purchased all of Assertio’s remaining interests in royalty and milestone payments payable on sales of Type 2 diabetes products licensed by Assertio for $20.0 million. Prior to the amendment, the Assertio Royalty Agreement provided that the Company receiveswould have received all royalty and milestone payments due under license agreements between DepomedAssertio and its licensees until the Company has received payments equal to two times the cash payment it made to Depomed,Assertio, or approximately $481.0 million, after which all net payments received by Depomed will beAssertio would have been shared evenlyequally between the Company and Depomed.Assertio. Following the amendment, the Assertio Royalty Agreement provides that the Company will receive all royalty and milestone payments due under the license agreements between Assertio and its licensees. After the amendment, the Company elected to continue to follow the fair value option and carry the financial asset at fair value.

The DepomedAssertio Royalty Agreement terminates on the third anniversary following the date upon which the later of the following occurs: (a) October 25, 2021, or (b) at such time as no royalty payments remain payable under any license agreement and each of the license agreements has expired by its terms.

As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016,2018, in conjunction with the amendment described above, the Company determined that its royalty purchase interest in Depo DR Sub represented a variable interest in a variable interest entity. However, the Company does not havewas provided the power to direct the activities of Depo DR Sub, that most significantly impact Depo DR Sub’s economic performanceLLC and is not the primary beneficiary of Depo DR Sub;Sub, LLC; therefore, Depo DR Sub, LLC is not subject to consolidation by the Company. As of March 31, 2020, Depo DR Sub, LLC did not have any assets or liabilities of value for consolidation with the Company.

The financial asset acquired represents a single unit of accounting. The fair value of the financial asset acquired was determined by using a discounted cash flow analysis related to the expected future cash flows to be generated by each licensed product. This financial asset is classified as a Level 3 asset within the fair value hierarchy, as the Company’s valuation utilized significant unobservable inputs, including estimates as to the probability and timing of future commercialization for products not yet approved by regulatory agencies outside of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other regulatory agencies.United States. The estimated fair value of the financial asset acquired was determined by using a discounted cash flow analysis related to the expected future cash flows to be generated by each licensed product. The discounted cash flows are based upon expected royalties from sales of licensed products over approximately a nine-year period. The discount rates utilized range from approximately 15% to 25%. Significant judgment is required in selecting appropriate discount rates. At September 30,


2017, an evaluation was performed to assess those rates and general market conditions potentially affecting the fair market value. Should these discount rates increase or decrease by 2.5%, the fair value of the asset could decrease by $12.5 million or increase by $14.0 million, respectively. A third-party expert was engaged to help management develop its original estimate of the expected future cash flows. The estimated fair value of the asset is subject to variation should those cash flows vary significantly from thosethe Company’s estimates. The Company periodically assesses the expected future cash flows and to the extent such payments are greater or less than its initial estimates, or the timing of such payments is materially different than the original estimates, the Company will adjust the estimated fair value of the asset. A third-party expert is engaged to assist management with the development of its estimate of the expected future cash flows, when deemed necessary. Should the expected royalties increase or decrease by 2.5%, the fair value of the asset could increase or decrease by $5.6$5.4 million, respectively. Significant judgment is required in selecting appropriate discount rates. The discount rates utilized range from 10% to 24%. Should these discount rates increase or decrease by 2.5%, the fair value of the asset could decrease by $17.1 million or increase by $20.0 million, respectively.

When the Company acquired the Depomed royalty rights, Glumetza was marketed by Santarus. In January 2014, Salix acquired Santarus and assumed responsibility for commercializing Glumetza, which was generally perceived to be a positive development because of Salix’s larger sales force and track record in the successful commercialization of therapies. In late 2014, Salix made a number of disclosures relating to an excess of supply at the distribution level of Glumetza and other drugs that it commercialized and the practices leading to this excess of supply which were under review by Salix’s audit committee in relation to the related accounting practices. Because of these disclosures and the Company’s lack of direct access to information as to the levels of inventory of Glumetza in the distribution channels, the Company commenced a review of all public statements by Salix, publicly available historical third-party prescription data, analyst reports and other relevant data sources. The Company also engaged a third-party expert to specifically assess estimated inventory levels of Glumetza in the distribution channel and to ascertain the potential effects those inventory levels may have on expected future cash flows. Salix was acquired by Valeant in early April 2015. In mid-2015, Valeant implemented two price increases on Glumetza. At year-end 2015, a third-party expert was engaged by the Company to assess the impact of the Glumetza price adjustments and near-term market entrance of generic equivalents to the expected future cash flows. Based on the analysis performed, management revised the underlying assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis at year-end 2015. In February and August of 2016, a total of three generic equivalents to Glumetza were approved to enter the market. In February 2016, Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. launched a generic equivalent approved product. To date, the other two generic equivalent approved products have not launched.

In May 2017, the Company received notification that a subsidiary of Valeant had launched an authorized generic equivalent product in February 2017, and the Company received royalties on such authorized generic equivalent product under the same terms as the branded Glumetza, retroactive to February 2017.

At June 30, 2017, management re-evaluated, with assistance of a third-party expert, the market share data, the gross-to-net revenue adjustment assumptions and Glumetza demand data, including the delay in launch of additional generic equivalent products and the entry of an authorized generic product by Valeant. These data and assumptions are based on available but limited information. At September 30, 2017, management updated the expected future cash flows based on the current period demand and supply data of Glumetza and the authorized generic equivalent product launched by Valeant.

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the Company’s discounted cash flow analysis reflects its expectations as to the amount and timing of future cash flows up to the valuation date including future cash flows for the authorized generic equivalent product. The Company continues to monitor whether the generic competition further affects sales of Glumetza and thus royalties on such sales paid to the Company, and the impact of the launched authorized generic equivalent. Due to the uncertainty around Valeant’s marketing and pricing strategy, as well as the recent generic competition and limited historical demand data after generic market entrance, the Company may need to further evaluate future cash flows in the event of more rapid reduction or increase in market share of Glumetza and its authorized generic equivalent product and/or a further erosion in net pricing. In February 2016, at the Company’s request and pursuant to the Depomed Royalty Agreement, Depomed exercised its audit right with respect to Glumetza royalties. The independent auditors engaged to perform theabove described royalty audit completed it in July 2017, and based upon the results of the audit, Depomed, on behalf of the Company, filed a lawsuit on September 7, 2017, against Valeant and one of its subsidiaries, claiming damages for unpaid royalties, fees and interest.  Valeant, Depomed and the Company entered into a settlement agreement on October 27, 2017 whereby the parties agreed to dismiss the litigation, with prejudice, and Valeant agreed to pay to Depomed $13.0 million. The settlement payment was transferred to the Company under the terms of the Depomed Royalty Agreement in November of 2017 and has been reflected in the Depomed royalty rights asset discounted cashflow valuation as of September 30, 2017.

On May 31, 2016, the Company obtained a notification indicating that the FDA approved Jentadueto XR for use in patients with Type 2 diabetes. In June 2016, the Company received a $6.0 million FDA approval milestone pursuant to the terms of the Depomed Royalty Agreement. The product approval was earlier than initially expected. Based on the FDA approval and anticipated timing of the product launch, the Company adjusted the timing of future cash flows and discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model at June 30, 2016. Management re-evaluated, with assistance of a third-party expert, the cash flow


assumptions for Jentadueto XR and revised the discounted cash flow model. As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s discounted cash flow analysis reflects its expectations as to the amount and timing of future cash flows up to the valuation date.

On September 21, 2016, the Company obtained a notification indicating that the FDA approved Invokamet XR for use in patients with Type 2 diabetes. The product approval triggered a $5.0 million approval milestone payment to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Depomed Royalty Agreement. Based on the FDA approval and timing of the product launch, the Company adjusted the timing of future cash flows and discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model at September 30, 2017.

On December 13, 2016, the Company obtained a notification indicating that the FDA approved Synjardy XR for use in patients with Type 2 diabetes. The product approval triggered a $6.0 million approval milestone payment to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Depomed Royalty Agreement.

On November 2, 2012, the Company and Wellstat Diagnostics entered into a $40.0 million credit agreement pursuant to which the Company was to accrue quarterly interest payments at the rate of 5% per annum (payable in cash or in kind). In addition, the Company was to receive quarterly royalty payments based on a low double-digit royalty rate of Wellstat Diagnostics’ net revenues, generated by the sale, distribution or other use of Wellstat Diagnostics’ products, if any, commencing upon the commercialization of its products. A portion of the proceeds of the $40.0 million credit agreement were used to repay certain notes receivable which Wellstat Diagnostics entered into in March 2012.

In January 2013, the Company was informed that, as of December 31, 2012, Wellstat Diagnostics had used funds contrary to the terms of the credit agreement and breached Sections 2.1.2 and 7 of the credit agreement. The Company sent Wellstat Diagnostics a notice of default on January 22, 2013, and accelerated the amounts owed under the credit agreement. In connection with the notice of default, the Company exercised one of its available remedies and transferred approximately $8.1 million of available cash from a bank account of Wellstat Diagnostics to the Company and applied the funds to amounts due under the credit agreement. On February 28, 2013, the parties entered into a forbearance agreement whereby the Company agreed to refrain from exercising additional remedies for 120 days. During such forbearance period, the Company provided approximately $1.3 million to Wellstat Diagnostics to fund ongoing operations of the business. During the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately $8.7 million was advanced pursuant to the forbearance agreement.

On August 15, 2013, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Wellstat Diagnostics. The Company determined that the new agreement should be accounted for as a modification of the existing agreement.

Except as otherwise described herein, the material terms of the amended and restated credit agreement are substantially the same as those of the original credit agreement, including quarterly interest payments at the rate of 5% per annum (payable in cash or in kind). In addition, the Company was to continue to receive quarterly royalty payments based on a low double-digit royalty rate of Wellstat Diagnostics’ net revenues. However, pursuant to the amended and restated credit agreement: (i) the principal amount was reset to approximately $44.1 million, which was comprised of approximately $33.7 million original loan principal and interest, $1.3 million term loan principal and interest and $9.1 million forbearance principal and interest; (ii) the specified internal rates of return increased; (iii) the default interest rate was increased; (iv) Wellstat Diagnostics’ obligation to provide certain financial information increased in frequency to monthly; (v) internal financial controls were strengthened by requiring Wellstat Diagnostics to maintain an independent, third-party financial professional with control over fund disbursements; (vi) the Company waived the existing events of default; and (vii) the owners and affiliates of Wellstat

amended and restated credit agreement, included an amount that, together with interest and royalty payments already made to the Company, would generate a specified internal rate of return to the Company), plus accruing fees, costs and interest, and demanded that Wellstat Diagnostics protect and preserve all collateral securing its obligations.

On August 7, 2014, the Company delivered a notice (the “Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantor Notice”) to each of the guarantors of Wellstat Diagnostics’ obligations to the Company (collectively, the “Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors”) under the credit agreement, which included a demand that the guarantors remit payment to the Company in the amount of the outstanding obligations. The guarantors include certain affiliates and related companies of Wellstat Diagnostics, including Wellstat Therapeutics and Wellstat Diagnostics’ stockholders.

On September 24, 2014, the Company filed an ex-parte petition for appointment of receiver with the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland, (the “Wellstat Diagnostics Petition”), which was granted on the same day. Wellstat Diagnostics remained in operation during the period of the receivership with incremental additional funding from the Company. On May 24, 2017, Wellstat Diagnostics transferred substantially all of its assets to the Company pursuant to a credit bid. The credit bid reduced the outstanding balance of the loan by an immaterial amount.

On September 4, 2015, the Company filed in the Supreme Court of New York a motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint which requested that the court enter judgment against certain of the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors for the total amount due on the Wellstat Diagnostics debt, plus all costs and expenses including lawyers’ fees incurred by the Company in enforcement of the related guarantees. On September 23, 2015, the Company filed in the same court an ex parte application for a temporary restraining order and order of attachment of the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantor defendants’ assets. Although the court denied the Company’s request for a temporary restraining order at a hearing on September 24, 2015, it ordered that assets of the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantor defendants should be held in status quo ante and only used in the normal course of business pending the outcome of the matters under consideration at the hearing.business.

As a result, the litigation has been remanded to the Supreme Court of New York to proceed on the Company’s claims as a plenary action. On June 21, 2017, the Supreme Court of New York ordered the Company to file a Complaint, which was filed by the Company on July 20, 2017. The Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors filed their answer on August 9, 2017, including counterclaims against the Company alleging breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and tortious interference with prospective economic advantage. This case is currently pending and in the pre-trial phase.

On October 14, 2016, the Company sent a notice of default and reference to foreclosure proceedings to certain of the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors which are not defendants in the New York action, but which are owners of real estate assets over which a deed of trust in favor of the Company securing the guarantee of the loan to Wellstat Diagnostics had been executed. On March 2, 2017, the Company sent a second notice to foreclose on the real estate assets, and noticed the sale for March 29, 2017. The sale was taken off the calendar by the trustee under the deed of trust and has not been re-scheduled yet. On March 6, 2017, the Company sent a letter to the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors seeking information in preparation for a UCC Article 9 sale of some or all of the intellectual property-related collateral of the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors. The Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors did not respond to the Company’s letter, but on March 17, 2017, filed an order to show cause with the Supreme Court of New York Supreme Court to enjoin the Company’s sale of the real estate or enforcing its security interests in the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors’ intellectual property during the pendency of any action involving the guarantees at issue.

At that time and as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, it has been determined that an allowance on the carrying value of the note was not necessary, as the Company believes the value of the collateral securing Wellstat Diagnostics’ obligations exceedsis in-line with the carrying value of the asset and is sufficient to enable the Company to recover the current carrying value of $50.2 million. The Company continues to closely monitor the timing and expected recovery of amounts due, including litigation and other matters related to Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors’ assets.

On November 16, 2016, Direct Flow Medical advised the Company that its potential financing source had modified its proposal from an equity investment to a loan with a substantially smaller amount and under less favorable terms. Direct Flow Medical shut down its operations in December 2016 and in January 2017 made an assignment for the benefit of creditors. The Company then initiated foreclosure proceedings, resulting in the Company obtaining ownership of most of the Direct Flow Medical assets through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, DFM, LLC.

On October 27, 2015, the Company and Paradigm Spine entered into an amendment to the Paradigm Spine Credit Agreement to provide additional term loan commitments of up to $7.0 million payable in two tranches, of which the first tranche of $4.0 million was drawn on the closing date of the amendment, net of fees. Paradigm Spine chose not to draw down the second tranche of $3.0 million and such tranche is no longer available. Borrowings under the credit agreement bore interest at the rate of 13.0% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears.

As part of the transaction,original credit agreement, the Company received a warrant to purchase approximately 4.4 million shares of common stock of CareView at an exercise price of $0.45 per share. The Company has accounted for the warrant as a derivative asset with an offsetting credit as debt discount. At each reporting period the warrant is marked to market for changes in fair value.

In connection with the October 2015 amendment of the credit agreement, the Company and CareView also agreed to amend the warrant to purchase common stock agreement by reducing the warrant’s exercise price from $0.45 to $0.40 per share. At September 30,

In February 2018, the Company entered into a modification agreement with CareView (the “February 2018 Modification Agreement”) whereby the Company agreed, effective December 28, 2017, to modify the credit agreement before remedies could otherwise have become available to the Company under the credit agreement in relation to certain obligations of CareView that would potentially not be met, including the requirement to make principal payments. Under the February 2018 Modification Agreement, the Company agreed that (i) a lower liquidity covenant would be applicable and (ii) principal repayment would be delayed until December 31, 2018. In exchange for agreeing to these modifications, among other things, the exercise price of the Company’s warrants to purchase 4.4 million shares of common stock of CareView was repriced from $0.40 to $0.03 per share and, subject to the occurrence of certain events, CareView agreed to grant the Company additional equity interests. As a result of the February 2018 Modification Agreement, the Company determined the loan to be impaired and it ceased to accrue interest revenue effective October 1, 2017.

In September 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the February 2018 Modification Agreement with CareView whereby the Company agreed, effective as of September 28, 2018, that a lower liquidity covenant would be applicable. In December 2018, the Company further modified the loan by agreeing that (i) a lower liquidity covenant would be applicable, (ii) the first principal payment would be deferred until January 31, 2019, and (iii) the scheduled interest payment due December 31, 2018 would be deferred until January 31, 2019. In December 2018, and in consideration of the further modification to the credit agreement, the Company completed an impairment analysis and determined that the note was impaired and recorded an impairment loss of $8.2 million. For additional information see Note 6, Fair Value Measurements. As of March 31, 2019, the principal repayment and interest payments were deferred until April 30, 2019. The principal repayment and interest payment were subsequently deferred until May 15, 2019 under additional amendments. In May 2019, and in consideration of additional capital raised by CareView, the Company further modified the loan by agreeing that (i) the first principal and interest payments would be deferred until September 30, 2019 and (ii) the remaining liquidity covenant would be removed. In September 2019, the Company further modified the loan by agreeing that the first principal and interest payments would be deferred, and (iii) the interest rate would be increased to 15.5%. Pursuant to further amendments to the February 2018 Modification Agreement in September 2019, December 2019 and January 2020, the Company agreed to defer principal and interest payments until April 30, 2020.

In December 2019, and in consideration of the further modification to the credit agreement and February 2018 Modification Agreement, the Company updated its impairment analysis and determined that an additional impairment was necessary and recorded an impairment loss of $10.8 million. At March 31, 2020, the Company estimated the fair value of the warrant to be less than $0.1 million.

In April 2020 the Company agreed to a further amendment of the February 2018 Modification Agreement that deferred principal repayment and interest payments until September 30, 2020, which was conditioned upon CareView raising additional financing from third parties.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

PDL BioPharma, Inc. v Merck Sharp & Dohme, Corp.

On January 22, 2016, the Company filed a complaint against Merck Sharp & Dohme, Corp (“Merck”) for patent infringement in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. In the complaint, the Company alleged that manufacture and sales of certain of Merck’s Keytruda product infringed one or more claims of the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 5,693,761 (the “761 Patent”). The Company requested judgment that Merck infringed the 761 Patent, an award of damages due to the infringement, a finding that such infringement was willful and deliberate and trebling of damages therefore, and a declaration that the case is exceptional and warrants an award of attorney’s fees and costs.

On April 21, 2017, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Merck to resolve the patent infringement lawsuit between the parties pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey related to Merck’s Keytruda humanized antibody product. Under the terms of the agreement, Merck paid the Company a one time, lump-sum payment of $19.5amounts above exclude $17.1 million and the Company granted Merck a fully paid-up, royalty free, non-exclusive license to certain$16.4 million of the Company’s rights to issued patents in the United Statesaccrued liabilities at Noden classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2020 and elsewhere, covering the humanization of antibodies (the “Queen et al. patent”)December 31, 2019, respectively. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations Classified as Assets Held for use in connection with Keytruda as well as a covenant not to sue MerckSale, for any royalties regarding Keytruda. In addition, the parties agreed to dismiss all claims in the relevant legal proceedings.

Wellstat Litigation

On September 4, 2015, the Company filed in the Supreme Court of New York a motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint which requested that the court enter judgment against Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors for the total amount due on the Wellstat Diagnostics debt, plus all costs and expenses including lawyers’ fees incurred by the Company in enforcement of the related guarantees. On July 29, 2016, the court issued its Memorandum of Decision granting the Company’s motion for summary judgment and denying the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors’ cross-motion for summary judgment seeking a determination that they were no longer liable under the guarantees. The Supreme Court of New York held that the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors are liable for all “Obligations” owed by Wellstat Diagnostics to the Company. It did not set a specific dollar amount due, but ordered that a judicial hearing officer or special referee be designated to determine the amount of the Obligations owing, and awarded the Company its attorneys’ fees and costs in an amount to be determined. On July 29, 2016, the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors filed a notice of appeal from the Memorandum of Decision to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York. On February 14, 2017, the Appellate Division reversed the summary judgment decision of the Supreme Court in the Company’s favor, but affirmed the denial of the Wellstat Guarantors’ cross-motion for summary judgment. The Appellate Division determined that the action was inappropriate for summary judgment pursuant to New York Civil Practice Law & Rules section 3213 on procedural grounds, but specifically made no determination regarding whether the Company was entitled to a judgment on the merits. Pursuant to this decision, the action will be remanded to the Supreme Court for further proceedings on the merits. The proceeding will be conducted as a plenary proceeding, with both parties having the opportunity to take discovery and file dispositive motions in accordance with New York civil procedure.

Noden Pharma DAC v Anchen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al

On June 12, 2017, Noden Pharma DAC (“Noden”) filed a complaint against Anchen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Anchen”) and Par Pharmaceutical (“Par”) for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,617,595 based on their submission of an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) seeking authorization from the FDA to market a generic version of Tekturna® aliskiren hemifumarate tablets, 150 mg and 300 mg, in the United States. Noden’s suit triggered a 30-month stay of FDA approval of that application under the Hatch Waxman Act. Par filed a counterclaim seeking a declaratory judgment that their proposed generic version of Tekturna HCT® aliskiren hemifumarate hydrochlorothiazide tablets (150 mg eq. base/12.5 mg HCT, 150 mg eq. base/25 mg HCT, 300 mg eq. base/12.5 mg HCT, and 300 mg eq. base/25 mg HCT), described in a separate ANDA submitted by Par to FDA, alleging noninfringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,618,172, also owned by Noden Pharma DAC. This case is proceeding in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Noden Pharma DAC intends to continue to take appropriate legal action to protect its intellectual property in Tekturna® and Tekturna HCT®.additional information.

Noden is aware that Novartis received Paragraph IV certifications from Par for Tekturna HCT and Anchen on December 31, 2013. Novartis did not file a responsive patent infringement suit related to these certifications. However, to Noden’s knowledge, neither Par nor Anchen have in the meantime commercialized generic aliskiren products.



Depomed, Inc. vs. Valeant Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

On October 27, 2017, Valeant, Depomed and the Company entered into a settlement agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) to resolve all matters addressed in the lawsuit.  Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the litigation will be dismissed, with prejudice, and Valeant will pay to Depomed a one-time, lump-sum payment of $13.0 million. In addition, Depomed and the Company released Valeant and its subsidiary from any and all claims against them as a result of the audit, Valeant’s obligation to pay additional royalties under the commercialization agreement and/or the litigation; and Valeant released Depomed and the Company against any and all claims against them as a result of the audit and/or the litigation. The settlement payment was transferred to the Company under the terms of the Depomed Royalty Agreement in November of 2017 and has been reflected in the Depomed royalty rights asset discounted cashflow valuation as of September 30, 2017.

Other Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is involved in lawsuits, arbitrations, claims, investigations and proceedings, consisting of intellectual property, commercial, employment and other matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company makes provisions for liabilities when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Such provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of settlement negotiations, judicial and administrative rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. If any unfavorable ruling were to occur in any specific period, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of the Company’s operations of that period and on its cash flows and liquidity.

Lease Guarantee

In connection with the spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) by the Company of Facet Biotech Corporation (“Facet”), the Company entered into amendments to the leases for the Company’s former facilities in Redwood City, California, under which Facet was added as a co-tenant, and a Co-Tenancy Agreement, under which Facet agreed to indemnify us for all matters related to the leases attributable to the period after the Spin-Off date. As of September 30, 2017, the total lease payments for the duration of the guarantee, which runs through December 2021, are approximately $47.9 million. In April 2010, Abbott Laboratories acquired Facet and later renamed the entity AbbVie Biotherapeutics, Inc. (“AbbVie”). If AbbVie were to default under its lease obligations, the Company could be held liable by the landlord as a co-tenant and, thus, the Company has in substance guaranteed the payments under the lease agreements for the Redwood City facilities.

The Company prepared a discounted, probability weighted cash flow analysis to calculate the estimated fair value of the lease guarantee as of the Spin-Off. The Company was required to make assumptions regarding the probability of Facet’s default on the lease payment, the likelihood of a sublease being executed and the times at which these events could occur. These assumptions are based on information that the Company received from real estate brokers and the then-current economic conditions, as well as expectations of future economic conditions. The fair value of this lease guarantee was charged to additional paid-in capital upon the Spin-Off and any future adjustments to the carrying value of the obligation will also be recorded in additional paid-in capital.

The Company has recorded a liability of $10.7 million on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, related to this guarantee. In future periods, the Company may adjust this liability for any changes in the ultimate outcome of this matter that are both probable and estimable.

Irrevocable Letters of Credit

On June 30, 2016, the Company purchased a $75.0 million certificate of deposit, which is designated as cash collateral for the $75.0 million letter of credit issued on July 1, 2016 with respect topreviously discussed, during the first anniversary payment underquarter of 2020 the Noden Purchase Agreement (as defined in Note 18 below).Board approved the Plan of Liquidation. In addition, the Company provided an irrevocable and unconditional guaranteehas entered into severance agreements with its employees under the Wind Down Retention Plan. The total amount of severance expected to Novartis Pharma AG (“Novartis”), to pay up to $14.0be incurred during 2020 will be $13.0 million, of the remaining amount of the first anniversary payment not covered by the letter of credit. The Company concluded that both guarantees are contingent obligations and shall be accounted for in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. Further, it was concluded that both guarantees do not meet the conditions to be accrued at September 30, 2017. On July 3, 2017, the first anniversary payment of $89.0which $3.0 million was expensed in the three months ended March 31, 2020. The severance amount paid pursuantin the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $0.6 million. All severance costs are included in the Income Generating Assets segment, as all corporate personnel salary and benefit costs are allocated to the Noden Purchase Agreement and the $14.0 million guarantee was extinguished. On July 31, 2017, the $75.0 million certification of deposit matured, and on August 1, 2017, the letter of credit terminated and is no longer available to Novartis.this segment.

Purchase Obligations

In connection with the Noden Transaction, Noden entered into an unconditional purchase obligation with Novartis to acquire all local finished goods inventory in certain countries upon transfer of the applicable marketing authorization rights in such country. The purchase is payable within 60 days after the transfer of the marketing authorization rights. The agreement does not specify minimum quantities but details pricing terms.

In addition, Noden and Novartis entered into a supply agreement pursuant to which Novartis will manufacture and supply to Noden a finished form of the Noden Products and bulk drug form of the Noden Products for specified periods of time prior to the transfer of manufacturing responsibilities for the Noden Products to another manufacturer. The supply agreement may be terminated by either party for material breach that remains uncured for a specified time period. The supply agreement commits the Company to a minimum purchase obligation of approximately $17.1 million and $120.7 million over the next twelve and twenty-four months, respectively. The Company expects to meet this requirement. For more information about the Noden Transaction, see Note 18.

LENSAR and Coherent, Inc. entered into an Original Equipment Manufacturer agreement pursuant to which Coherent, Inc. will manufacture and supply to LENSAR Staccato Lasers by December 31, 2017. The supply agreement commits LENSAR to a minimum purchase obligation of approximately $1.1 million over the next three months. The Company expects that LENSAR will meet this requirement. For more information about the LENSAR transaction, see Note 18.

Escrow Receivable

On September 21, 2017, the Company entered into the kaléo Note Sale Agreement, pursuant to which the Company sold its entire interest in the kaléo Note.

Pursuant to the kaléo Note Sale Agreement, the purchaser paid to the Company an amount equal to 100% of the then outstanding principal, a premium of 1% of such amount and accrued interest under the kaléo Notes, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $141.7 million.

Pursuant to the terms of the kaléo Note Sale Agreement, $1.4 million of the aggregate purchase price was deposited into an escrow account as a potential payment against certain contingencies and on the 18th month anniversary of the closing date, the Escrow Agent will release any funds remaining in the escrow account to the Company.

The Company does not believe that it will be subject to claims contemplated under the escrow agreement. However, in the event that such a claim is made, and if successful, the amount of such a claim up to $1.4 million would be released from the escrow account, which may reduce the amount ultimately returned to the Company when the 18 months escrow period has ended. As of September 30, 2017, the Company is not aware of any claims by the purchaser that would reduce the escrow receivable.

February 2018 Notes

On February 12, 2014, the Company issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount, at par, of the February 2018 Notes in an underwritten public offering, for net proceeds of $290.2 million. The February 2018 Notes are due February 1, 2018, and the Company pays interest at 4.0% on the February 2018 Notes semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year,


beginning August 1, 2014. A portion of the proceeds from the February 2018 Notes, net of amounts used for purchased call option transactions and provided by the warrant transactions described below, were used to redeem $131.7 million of the Company’s 2.975% Convertible Senior Notes due February 17, 2016. Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture, holders have the option to require the Company to repurchase their February 2018 Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal, plus accrued interest.

On November 20, 2015, the Company’s agent initiated the repurchase of $53.6 million in aggregate principal amount of its February 2018 Notes for $43.7 million in cash in four open market transactions. The closing of these transactions occurred on November 30, 2015. It was determined that the repurchase of the principal amount shall be accounted for as a partial extinguishment of the February 2018 Notes. As a result, a gain on extinguishment of $6.5 million was recorded at closing of the transaction. The $6.5 million gain on extinguishment included the de-recognition of the original issuance discount of $3.1 million, outstanding deferred issuance costs of $0.9 million and agent fees of $0.1 million. Immediately following the repurchase, $246.4 million principal amount of the February 2018 Notes was outstanding with $14.1 million of remaining original issuance discount and $4.1 million of debt issuance costs to be amortized over the remaining life of the February 2018 Notes.

In connection with this repurchase of the February 2018 Notes, the Company unwound a portion of the purchased call options related to the notes. As a result of this unwinding, the Company received $0.3 million in cash. The payments received have been recorded as an increase to additional paid-in-capital. In addition, the Company unwound a portion of the warrants for $0.2 million in cash, payable by the Company. The payments have been recorded as a decrease to additional paid-in-capital. At the time of the transaction, the Company concluded that the remaining purchased call options and warrants continue to meet all criteria for equity classification.

On November 22, 2016, the Company repurchased $120.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its February 2018 Notes for approximately $121.5 million in cash (including $1.5 million of accrued interest) in open market transactions. It was determined that the repurchase of the principal amount shall be accounted for as an extinguishment. The extinguishment included the de-recognition of the original issuance discount of $4.3 million and outstanding deferred issuance costs of $1.3 million. Immediately following the repurchase, $126.4 million principal amount of the February 2018 Notes was outstanding with $4.6 million of remaining original issuance discount and $1.4 million of debt issuance costs to be amortized over the remaining life of the February 2018 Notes.

In connection with the repurchase of the February 2018 Notes, the Company unwound a portion of the purchased call options. The unwind transaction of the purchased call option did not result in any cash payments between the parties. In addition, the Company and the counterparties agreed to unwind a portion of the warrants, which also did not result in any cash payments between the parties. At the time of the transaction, the Company concluded that the remaining purchased call options and warrants continue to meet all criteria for equity classification.

The February 2018 Notes are convertible under any of the following circumstances:

During any fiscal quarter ending after the quarter ended June 30, 2014, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price for the notes on the last day of such preceding fiscal quarter;
During the five business-day period immediately after any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of that measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate for the notes for each such day;
Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as described further in the indenture; or
At any time on or after August 1, 2017.

The initial conversion rate for the February 2018 Notes is 109.1048 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of February 2018 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.17 per share of common stock, subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain specified events as set forth in the indenture. Upon conversion, the Company will be required to pay cash and, if applicable, deliver shares of the Company’s common stock as described in the indenture.



As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s February 2018 Notes are convertible. At September 30, 2017, the if-converted value of the February 2018 Notes did not exceed the principal amount.

In accordance with the accounting guidance for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets on conversion, the Company was required to separately account for the liability component of the instrument in a manner that reflects the market interest rate for a similar nonconvertible instrument at the date of issuance. As a result, the Company separated the principal balance of the February 2018 Notes between the fair value of the debt component and the fair value of the common stock conversion feature. Using an assumed borrowing rate of 7.0%, which represents the estimated market interest rate for a similar nonconvertible instrument available to the Company on the date of issuance, the Company recorded a total debt discount of $29.7 million, allocated $19.3 million to additional paid-in capital and allocated $10.4 million to deferred tax liability. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the February 2018 Notes and increases interest expense during the term of the February 2018 Notes from the 4.0% cash coupon interest rate to an effective interest rate of 6.9%. As of September 30, 2017, the remaining discount amortization period is 0.3 years.

Purchased Call Options and Warrants

In connection with the issuance of the February 2018 Notes, the Company entered into purchased call option transactions with two hedge counterparties. The Company paid an aggregate amount of $31.0 million for the purchased call options with terms substantially similar to the embedded conversion options in the February 2018 Notes. The purchased call options cover, subject to anti-dilution and certain other customary adjustments substantially similar to those in the February 2018 Notes, approximately 13.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company may exercise the purchased call options upon conversion of the February 2018 Notes and require the hedge counterparty to deliver shares to the Company in an amount equal to the shares required to be delivered by the Company to the note holder for the excess conversion value. The purchased call options expire on February 1, 2018, or the last day any of the February 2018 Notes remain outstanding.

In addition, the Company sold to the hedge counterparties warrants exercisable, on a cashless basis, for the sale of rights to receive shares of common stock that will initially underlie the February 2018 Notes at a strike price of $10.3610 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 30% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock of $7.97 on February 6, 2014. The warrant transactions could have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants on the date of conversion. The Company received an aggregate amount of $11.4 million for the sale from the two counterparties. The warrant counterparties may exercise the warrants on their specified expiration dates that occur over a period of time. If the VWAP of the Company’s common stock, as defined in the warrants, exceeds the strike price of the warrants, the Company will deliver to the warrant counterparties shares equal to the spread between the VWAP on the date of exercise or expiration and the strike price. If the VWAP is less than the strike price, neither party is obligated to deliver anything to the other.

The purchased call option transactions and warrant sales effectively serve to reduce the potential dilution associated with conversion of the February 2018 Notes. The strike price is subject to further adjustment in the event that future quarterly dividends exceed $0.15 per share.



The purchased call options and warrants are considered indexed to the Company stock, require net-share settlement, and met all criteria for equity classification at inception and at September 30, 2017. The purchased call options cost of $31.0 million, less deferred taxes of $10.8 million, and the $11.4 million received for the warrants, was recorded as adjustments to additional paid-in capital. Subsequent changes in fair value will not be recognized as long as the purchased call options and warrants continue to meet the criteria for equity classification.

On November 22, 2016, the Company issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount, at par, of the2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due December 1, 2021 Notes(the “December 2021 Notes”) in an underwritten public offering, for net proceeds of $145.7 million. The December 2021 Notes are due December 1, 2021, and the Company pays interest at 2.75% on the December 2021 Notes semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning June 1, 2017.

See “December 2024 Notes” below. The terms of the February 2018 Notes.remaining December 2021 Notes remained unchanged. The September Exchange Transaction qualified as a debt extinguishment and the Company recognized a loss on exchange of the convertible notes of $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture entered into in connection with the December 2021 Notes (the “December 2021 Notes Indenture”), holders have the option to require the Company to repurchase their December 2021 Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal, plus accrued interest.

During any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter) commencing after the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017, if the last reported sale price of Company common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), in the period of 30 consecutive trading days, ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, exceeds 130% of the conversion price for the notes on each applicable trading day;
During the five business-day period immediately after any five consecutive trading-day period, which the Company refers to as the measurement period, in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of that measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Company common stock and the conversion rate for the notes for each such trading day; or

The debt discount, including the conversion feature and issuance costs allocated to debt, which remained after amortization and the effect of the September Exchange Transaction, is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the December 2021 Notes and increases interest expense during the term of the December 2021 Notes from the 2.75% cash coupon interest rate to an effective interest rate of 3.4%9.7%. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the remaining discount amortization period is 4.21.7 years.

On December 17, 2019, the Company repurchased $44.8 million in aggregate principal amount of its December 2021 Notes for $39.9 million in cash and 3.5 million shares of its common stock in privately negotiated transactions (the “December Exchange Transaction”).

Capped Call Transaction

In connection with the offering of the December 2021 Notes, the Company entered into a privately-negotiated capped call transaction with an affiliate of the underwriter of such issuance. The aggregate cost of the capped call transaction was $14.4$14.4 million. The capped call transaction is generally expected to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the December 2021 Notes and/or partially offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted December 2021 Notes in the event that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transaction, is greater than the strike price of the capped call transaction. This initially corresponds to the approximate $3.81 per share conversion price of the December 2021 Notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the December 2021 Notes. The cap price of

the capped call transaction was initially $4.88 per share and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transaction. The Company will not be required to make any cash payments to the option counterparty upon the exercise of the options that are a part of the capped call transaction, but the Company will be entitled to receive from it an aggregate amount of cash and/or number of shares of the Company’s common stock, based on the settlement method election chosen for the related convertible senior notes, with a value equal to the amount by which the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transaction, is greater than the strike price of the capped call transaction during the relevant valuation period under the capped call transaction, with such number of shares of the Company’s common stock and/or amount of cash subject to the cap price.

The Company evaluated the capped call transaction under authoritative accounting guidance and determined that theyit should be accounted for as separate transactionstransaction and classified as a net reduction to additionalAdditional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity with no recurring fair value measurement recorded.

In connection with the September 2019 Exchange Transaction, the Company unwound a portion of the capped call entered into when the December 2021 Notes were issued, as they were no longer scheduled to mature in 2021. In connection with the December Exchange Transaction, the Company unwound a corresponding portion of the capped call related to the notes and repurchased 1.6 million shares of its common stock from the counterparty. In connection with the repurchases of the December 2021 Notes in the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company unwound a portion of the capped call entered into when the December 2021 Notes were issued, as they were not longer scheduled to mature in 2021.

of $1,000 prior to their scheduled maturity on a redemption date beginning on or after December 1, 2021 and on or before the 60th scheduled trading day before December 1, 2024, for a cash purchase price equal to the redemption price, but only if the last reported sale price of Company common stock exceeds 128% of the conversion price for the December 2024 Notes on (i) each of at least 20 trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the redemption notice date for such redemption; and (ii) the trading day immediately before such redemption notice date. The redemption price for the December 2024 Notes called for redemption is equal to the then accreted principal amount of such December 2024 Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest on the original principal amount thereon. The calling of any December 2024 Notes for redemption will constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to such notes, entitling the holders who convert such December 2024 Notes called for redemption prior to the applicable redemption date to receive an increase in the applicable conversion rate, as described in the December 2024 Notes Indenture.

The initial conversion rate for the December 2024 Notes is 262.2951 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 original principal amount of December 2024 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $3.81 per share of common stock, subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain specified events as set forth in the December 2024 Notes Indenture.

In accordance with the accounting guidance for an extinguishment of convertible debt instruments with a cash conversion feature, the Company was required to allocate the fair value of the consideration transferred between the liability component and the equity component. To calculate the fair value of the debt immediately prior to derecognition, the carrying value was recalculated in a manner that reflected the estimated market interest rate for a similar nonconvertible instrument at the date of issuance. Using an assumed borrowing rate of 7.05% the Company calculated the fair value of the debt representing the amount allocated to the liability component of the December 2024 Notes with the remainder of the consideration allocated to the equity conversion feature, to reflect the reacquisition of the embedded conversion option. The conversion feature together with the fees allocated to the debt are accounted for as a debt discount. As a result of the September Exchange Transaction, the Company recorded a total debt discount of $9.4 million, which included the cash conversion feature of $8.1 million and the debt issuance fees of $1.3 million, charged $5.5 million to Additional paid-in capital ($13.5 million charge to Additional paid-in capital representing the reduction to the 2021 equity component, partially offset by the $8.1 million allocated to equity for the 2024 notes) and recorded $1.2 million to deferred tax liability. The net amount charged to Additional paid-in capital represents the difference between the consideration paid for the September Exchange Transaction and the fair value of the convertible debt prior to the extinguishment.

The Accretion Interest and debt discount, including the conversion feature and issuance costs allocated to debt, are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the December 2024 Notes which increases interest expense during the term of the December 2024 Notes from the 2.75% cash coupon interest rate to an effective interest rate of 7.5%. As of March 31, 2020, the remaining discount amortization period is 4.7 years.

On December 17, 2019, in connection with the December Exchange Transaction, the Company repurchased $74.6 million in aggregate principal amount of its December 2024 Notes for $58.0 million in cash and 9.9 million shares of its common stock in privately negotiated transactions, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of $2.1 million was recorded at closing of the transaction.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 the Company repurchased $10.5 million in aggregate principal amount of its December 2024 notes for $12.9 million in cash, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of $0.5 million.

Capped Call Transaction

In connection with the issuance of the December 2024 Notes in the September Exchange Transaction, the Company entered into a privately-negotiated capped call transaction with an affiliate of the underwriter of such issuance. The aggregate cost of the capped call transaction was $4.5 million. The capped call transaction is generally expected to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the December 2024 Notes and/or partially offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted December 2024 Notes in the event that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transaction, is greater than the strike price of the capped call transaction. This initially corresponds to the approximate $3.81 per share conversion price of the December 2024 Notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the December 2024 Notes. The cap price of the capped call transaction was initially $4.88 per share and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transaction. The Company will not be required to make any cash payments to the option counterparty upon the exercise of the options that are a part of the capped call transaction, but the Company will be entitled to receive from it an aggregate amount of cash and/or number of shares of the Company’s common stock, based on the settlement method election chosen for the related convertible senior notes, with a value equal to the amount by which the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transaction, is greater than the strike price of the capped call transaction during the relevant valuation period under the capped call transaction, with such number of shares of the Company’s common stock and/or amount of cash subject to the cap price.

The Company evaluated the capped call transaction under authoritative accounting guidance and determined that it should be accounted for as a separate transaction and classified as a net reduction to Additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity with no recurring fair value measurement recorded. In connection with the December Exchange Transaction, the Company unwound a corresponding portion of the capped call related to the notes and repurchased 1.6 million shares of its common stock from the counterparty. In connection with the repurchases of the December 2024 Notes in the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company unwound a portion of the capped call entered into when the December 2024 Notes were issued, as they were no longer scheduled to mature in 2024.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Guarantee

In connection with the Spin-Off,spin-off by the Company of Facet Biotech Corporation (“Facet”), the Company entered into amendments to the leases for the Company’s former facilities in Redwood City, California, under which Facet was added as a co-tenant, and a Co-Tenancy Agreement, under which Facet


agreed to indemnify the Company for all matters related to the leases attributable to the period after the Spin-Offspin-off date. In April 2010, Abbott Laboratories acquired Facet and later renamed the entity AbbVie Biotherapeutics, Inc. (“AbbVie”). If AbbVie were to default under its lease obligations, the Company could be held liable by the landlord as a co-tenant and, thus, the Company has in substance guaranteed the payments under the lease agreements for the Redwood City facilities. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the total lease payments for the duration of the guarantee, which runs through December 2021, are approximately $47.9 million. If Facet were$19.7 million.

The Company prepared a discounted, probability weighted cash flow analysis to calculate the estimated fair value of the lease guarantee as of the spin-off. The Company was required to make assumptions regarding the probability of Facet’s default on the lease payment, the likelihood of a sublease being executed and the times at which these events could occur. These assumptions are based on information that the Company couldreceived from real estate brokers and the then-current economic conditions, as well as expectations of future economic conditions. The fair value of this lease guarantee was charged to Additional paid-in capital upon the spin-off and any future adjustments to the carrying value of the obligation will also be responsible for lease-related costs including utilities, property taxes and common area maintenance that may be as much as the actual lease payments. recorded in Additional paid-in capital.

The Company has recorded a liability of $10.7 million on the Company’sits Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2016,2019, related to this guarantee. In future periods, the Company may adjust this liability for any changes in the ultimate outcome of this matter that are both probable and estimable.

Purchase Obligations

Noden DAC and Novartis entered into a supply agreement pursuant to which Novartis will manufacture and supply to Noden DAC a bulk tableted form of the Noden Products and active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”). In May 2019, Noden DAC and Novartis entered into an amended supply agreement pursuant to which Novartis will supply to Noden DAC a bulk tableted form of the Noden Products through 2020 and API through June 2021. The supply agreement may be terminated by either party for material breach that remains uncured for a specified time period. Under the terms of the amended supply agreement, Noden DAC is committed to purchase certain quantities of bulk product and API that would amount to approximately $55.7 million through June 2021, of which $43.1 million is committed over the next twelve months, which are guaranteed by the Company. While the supply agreement provides that the parties will agree to reasonable accommodations with respect to changes in firm orders, the Company expects that Noden DAC will meet the requirements of the supply agreement, unless otherwise negotiated.

LENSAR entered into various supply agreements for the manufacture and supply of certain components. The supply agreements commit LENSAR to a minimum purchase obligation of approximately $8.0 million over the next twelve months, a portion of which is guaranteed by the Company. LENSAR expects to meet these requirements.

14. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company grants restricted stock awards pursuant to a stockholder approved stock-based incentive plan. This incentive plan is described in further detail in Note 15, Stock-Based Compensation, of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

In September 2017, the Company made inducement grants in the form of stock options and restricted stock awards. See the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 11, 2017 for additional details.

15. Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, was $4.8 million and $14.4 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, was $65.2 million and $50.0 million, respectively, which resulted primarily from applying the federal statutory income tax rate to income before income taxes. The Company’s effective tax rates for the current period differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to the effect of Subpart F income as result of the product acquisition triggering U.S. tax on the Company’s pro rata share of income earned by Noden as a controlled foreign corporation. The Company intends to indefinitely reinvest all of its undistributed foreign earnings outside of the United States.

The uncertain tax positions increased during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, by zero and $0.6 million, respectively, and increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, by $29.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, resulting from an increase in tax uncertainties and estimated tax liabilities.

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by U.S. federal, state and local tax authorities for tax years 1996 forward. In May 2012, the Company received a “no-change” letter from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) upon completion of an examination of the Company’s 2008 federal tax return. The Company is currently under income tax examination in the state of California for the tax years 2009 through 2015. Although the timing of the resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year, the Company does not anticipate any material change to the amount of its unrecognized tax benefit over the next 12 months.

NODEN TRANSACTIONRevenue

DescriptionNature of Goods and Services

The following is a description of principal activities - separated by reportable segments - from which the Company generates its revenue. For more detailed information about reportable segments, see Note 17, Segment Information.

Medical Devices

PDL BIOPHARMA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)


The Medical Devices segment principally generates revenue from the sale and lease of the Noden TransactionLENSAR® Laser System, which may include equipment, PIDs or consumables, procedure licenses, training, installation, warranty and maintenance agreements.

On July 1, 2016,For bundled packages, the Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct - i.e. if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package and if the customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The LENSAR® Laser System, standard warranty training and installation services are one performance obligation. All other elements are separate performance obligations. PIDs, procedure licenses, warranty and maintenance services are also sold on a stand-alone basis.

As the Company both sells and leases the LENSAR® Laser System, the consideration (including any discounts) is first allocated between lease and non-lease components and then allocated between the separate products and services based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices for the PIDs and procedure licenses are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the PIDs and procedure licenses. The LENSAR® Laser System and warranty stand-alone selling prices are determined using the expected cost plus a margin approach.

For LENSAR® Laser System sales, the Company recognizes Product revenue when a customer takes possession of the system. This usually occurs after the customer signs a contract, LENSAR installs the system, and LENSAR performs the requisite training for use of the system. For LENSAR® Laser System leases, the Company recognizes Product revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases. For additional information regarding accounting for leases, see Note 8, Leases.

The LENSAR® Laser System requires both a consumable and a procedure license to perform each procedure. The Company recognizes Product revenue for PIDs when the customer takes possession of the PID. PIDs are sold by the case. The Company recognizes Product revenue for procedure licenses when a customer purchases a procedure license from the web portal. Typically, consideration for PIDs and procedure licenses is considered fixed consideration except for certain customer agreements that provide for tiered volume discount pricing which is considered variable consideration.

The Company offers an extended warranty that provides additional services beyond the standard warranty. The Company recognizes Product revenue from the sale of extended warranties over the warranty period. Customers have the option of renewing the warranty period, which is considered a new and separate contract.

Pharmaceutical

The Company’s Pharmaceutical segment consists of revenue derived from the Noden Pharma DAC, entered into an asset purchase agreement (“Noden Purchase Agreement”) where by it purchasedProducts. Noden’s revenue is included in (Loss) income from Novartisdiscontinued operations.

The Pharmaceutical segment principally generates revenue from products sold to wholesalers and distributors. Customer orders are generally fulfilled within a few days of receipt resulting in minimal order backlog. Contractual performance obligations are usually limited to transfer of the exclusive worldwide rightsproduct to manufacture, market, and sell the branded prescription medicinecustomer. The transfer occurs either upon shipment or upon receipt of the product sold under the name Tekturna® and Tekturna HCT® in certain countries outside the United States after considering when the customer obtains control of the product. In addition, in some countries outside of the United States, the Company sells product on a consignment basis where control is not transferred until the customer resells the product to an end user. At these points, customers are able to direct the use of and Rasilez®obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of the product.

Sales to customers are initially invoiced at contractual list prices. Payment terms are typically 30 to 90 days based on customary practice in each country. Revenue is reduced from the list price at the time of recognition for expected chargebacks, discounts, rebates, sales allowances and Rasilez HCT®product returns, which are collectively referred to as gross-to-net adjustments. These reductions are attributed to various commercial agreements, managed healthcare organizations and government programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and the 340B Drug Pricing Program containing various pricing implications such as mandatory discounts, pricing protection below wholesaler list price and other discounts when Medicare Part D beneficiaries are in the restcoverage gap. These various reductions in the transaction price have been estimated using either a most likely amount, in the case of prompt pay discounts, or expected value method for all other variable consideration and have been reflected as liabilities and are settled through cash payments, typically within time periods ranging from a few months to one year. Significant judgment is required in estimating gross-to-net adjustments considering legal interpretations of applicable laws and regulations, historical experience, payer channel mix, current contract prices under applicable programs, unbilled claims, processing time lags and inventory levels in the distribution channel.

For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the world (collectivelycombined performance obligation to determine whether the “Noden Products”)combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, certainif over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, up-front license fees. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjust the measure of performance and related revenue recognition.

The Company determined that Noden shall be consolidated underdoes not disclose the voting interest model as of September 30, 2017.

On July 3, 2017, Noden made the $89.0 million anniversary payment to Novartis pursuant to the terms of the Noden Purchase Agreement, of which $32.0 million was funded by the Company in the form of an equity contribution. The Company expects to make additional equity contributions to Noden of at least $38.0 million to fund a portion of certain milestone payments under the Noden Purchase Agreement, subject to the occurrence of such milestones.

Fair Value of Consideration Transferred

The fair value of consideration transferred totals $244.3 million, which consistsunsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with original expected lengths of $216.7 million in acquired product rights, $23.9 million in customer relationships, $47.4 million in contingent consideration and $87.0 million in anniversary payments.  Contingent consideration includes the future payments that the Company may pay to Novartis based on achieving certain milestones.

The contingent consideration was measured at fair value and will be recognized as of the acquisition date. The Company determined the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration obligation based on an income approach derived from the Noden Products revenue estimates and a probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving (a) the level of net salesone year or (b) generic product launch that would trigger the milestone payments. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in fair value measurement accounting. The key assumptions in determining the fair value are the discount rate and the probability assigned to the potential milestones being achieved. At each reporting date, the Company will re-measure the contingent consideration obligation to estimated fair value. Any changes in the fair value of contingent consideration will be recognized in operating expenses until the contingent consideration arrangement is settled.

As of the effective time of the acquisition, the identifiable intangible assets are required to be measured at fair value and these assets could include assets that are not intended to be usedless or sold or that are intended to be used in a manner other than their highest and best use. For purposes of the valuation, it is assumed that all assets will be used in the manner that represents the highest and best use of those assets, but it is not assumed that any market synergies will be achieved. The consideration of synergies has been excluded because they are not considered to be factually supportable.

The fair value of identifiable assets is determined primarily using the “income method,” which starts with a forecast of all expected future cash flows. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of intangible asset values, from the perspective of a market participant, include, among other factors: the amount and timing of projected future cash flows (including net revenue, cost of product sales, research and development costs, sales and marketing expenses, income tax expense, capital expenditures and working capital requirements) and estimated contributory asset charges; the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows; and the assessment of the asset’s life cycle and the competitive trends impacting the asset.

Goodwill represents expected synergies resulting from other intangible assets that do not qualify(ii) contracts for separate recognition. Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration expected to be transferred and the values assigned to the assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment on an annual basis or when indications for impairment exist.

The following table presents a summary of the total fair value of consideration transferred for the Noden Products acquisition (in thousands):
Consideration paid in cash at closing $109,938
Discounted anniversary payment 87,007
Fair value of contingent consideration 47,360
Total fair value of consideration transferred $244,305



Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for business combinations, the Noden Transaction was determined to be a business combination and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):
Acquired product rights $216,690

LENSAR TRANSACTION

Description of the LENSAR Transaction

In December 2016, LENSAR filed the Chapter 11 case with the support of the Company, as its largest senior secured creditor under a credit agreement, as amended, that the Company and LENSAR had entered into in 2013. For more information regarding the credit agreement between the Company and LENSAR, please see Note 7. In January 2017, the Company agreed to provide debtor-in-possession financing of up to $2.8 million in new advances to LENSAR so that it could continue to operate its business during the remainder of the Chapter 11 case. As part of the Chapter 11 case, LENSAR filed a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, with the Company’s support, under which LENSAR would issue 100% of its equity securities to the Company in exchange for the cancellation of the Company’s claims as a secured creditor in the Chapter 11 case.  Following consummation of the Plan, LENSAR would become an operating subsidiary of the Company and the Company provided LENSAR a new, senior-secured, first-priority term loan facility (the “Exit Facility”).

On April 26, 2017, the bankruptcy court approved the plan of reorganization. On May 11, 2017, LENSAR and the Company consummated the plan of reorganization and LENSAR emerged from bankruptcy. Pursuant to the plan of reorganization, the Company obtained control of 100% of the outstanding voting shares of LENSAR. All assets of the LENSAR bankruptcy estate re-vested in reorganized LENSAR free and clear of all liens, claims or charges. The consummation of the plan of reorganization related transactions effect binding and valid transfers to reorganized LENSAR with all rights, title and interest in the acquired assets. Upon consummation of the plan of reorganization, all debt owed to the Company was eliminated other than the Exit Facility.  Liabilities to other creditors, including general unsecured creditors, were satisfied through the plan of reorganization. 

The Company concluded that the LENSAR transaction shall be accounted in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, that do not involve a transfer of consideration (“combinations by contract”) by applying the acquisition method.

Fair Value of Consideration Transferred

Contemporaneously with the cancellation of the Company’s notes receivable with a carrying value of $43.9 million, the Company acquired 100% equity interests in LENSAR, at fair value, for $31.7 million. resulting in a loss on extinguishment of notes receivable of $12.2 million. The fair value of the equity interest in LENSAR was determined primarily using the “income method,” which starts with a forecast of all expected future cash flows of the acquired business. The acquisition resulted in a gain on bargain purchase because the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeded the total of the fair value of the equity interest in LENSAR by approximately $4.0 million, which was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the period ended June 30, 2017.

Out of Period Adjustment

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company identified and corrected an immaterial error in the computation of the gain on bargain purchase of the LENSAR transaction in the prior quarter. This adjustment resulted in a decrease to the Company’s net income by $2.2 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017.



Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

Due to the timing of the LENSAR transaction, certain amounts are provisional and subject to change. The provisional amounts consist primarily of the estimates of the fair value of intangible assets acquired. The Company will finalize these amounts as it obtains the information necessary to complete the measurement process. Any changes resulting from facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date may result in adjustments to the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date. These changes could be significant. The Company will finalize these amounts no later than one year from the closing date.

______________
(1) As of the effective date of the transaction, identifiable intangible assets are required to be measured at fair value.  The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are unobservable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. The Company used an income approach to estimate the preliminary fair value of the intangibles which includes technology, trademarks and customer relationships. The assumptions used to estimate the cash flows of the business included a discount rate of 16%, estimated gross margins ranging from 37-72%, income tax rate of 35%, and operating expenses consisting of direct costs based on the anticipated level of revenues.  The intangible assets have a weighted-average useful life of approximately 15.0 years. The intangible assets for acquired technology and trademarks are being amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of amortization. The intangible assets for customer relationship are being amortized using a double-declining method of amortization as such method better represents the economic benefits to be obtained.

Pro Forma Impact of Business Combination

The following table represents the unaudited consolidated financial information for the Company on a pro forma basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, assuming that the Noden Transaction had closed on January 1, 2015 and the LENSAR transaction had closed on January 1, 2016. The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma items that are directly attributable to the acquisitions and are expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results. Additionally, the following table sets forth unaudited financial information and has been compiled from historical financial statements and other information, but is not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have been achieved had the transactions occurred on the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future.

19. Income Taxes
Income tax benefit from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, was $14.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which in the current period resulted primarily from anticipated use of Net Operating Loss carrybacks as allowed by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The Company’s effective tax rate for the current period differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the effect of state income taxes, non-deductible executive compensation and the tax provisions of the CARES Act.

The uncertain tax positions did not change during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by U.S. federal, foreign, state and local tax authorities for tax years 2000 forward. The Company is currently under audit by the California Franchise Tax Board (the “CFTB”) for the tax years 2009 through 2015 and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) for the tax year 2016. The timing of the resolutions to these audits and the amount to be ultimately paid, if any, is uncertain. The outcome of these audits could result in the payment of tax amounts that differ from the amounts the Company has reserved for uncertain tax positions for the periods under audit resulting in incremental expense or a reversal of the Company’s reserves in a future period. At this time, the Company does not anticipate a material change in the unrecognized tax benefits related to the CFTB or IRS audits that would affect the effective tax rate or deferred tax assets over the next 12 months.

The Company computes net (loss) income per diluted share using the sum of the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares used in the computation of net (loss) income per diluted share include shares that may be issued pursuant to outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards in each case, on a weighted-average basis for the period they were outstanding, including, if applicable, the underlying shares using the treasury stock method.

The December 2021 Notes and the December 2024 Notes allow for the settlement entirely or partially in cash, and are accounted for under the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share except to the extent that the conversion value of the notes exceeds their principal amount. The effect of which, for diluted earnings per share purposes, is that only the number of shares of common stock that would be necessary to settle such excess, if we elected to settle such excess in shares, are included in the computation.

December 2021 Notes and December 2024 Notes Capped Call Potential Dilution

In November 2016, the Company issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal of the December 2021 Notes. The Company entered into an Exchange Transaction in September 2019 through which it exchanged a portion of the December 2021 Notes for the December 2024 Notes with a later maturity of December 2024. Both the notes that mature in December 2021 and those that mature in December 2024 provide in certain situations for the conversion of the outstanding principal amount into shares of the Company’s common stock at a predefined conversion rate. In conjunction with the issuance of the December 2021 Notes and the issuance of the December 2024 Notes pursuant to the Exchange Transaction, the Company entered into capped call transactions with a hedge counterparty. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution, and/or offset, to an extent, the cash payments the Company may choose to make in excess of the principal amount, upon conversion of the December 2021 Notes or the December 2024 Notes. The Company has excluded the capped call transaction from the net (loss) income per diluted share computation as such securities would have an anti-dilutive effect and those securities should be considered separately rather than in the aggregate in determining whether their effect on net (loss) income per diluted share would be dilutive or anti-dilutive. For additional information regarding the conversion rates and the capped call transaction related to the Company’s December 2021 Notes and December 2024 Notes, see Note 11, Convertible Senior Notes.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company excluded approximately 12.6 million and 7.8 million shares underlying outstanding stock options, respectively, calculated on a weighted-average basis, from its net (loss) income per diluted share calculations because their effect was anti-dilutive.

OVERVIEW



Throughout our history, our mission has been to improve the lives of patients by aiding in the successful development of innovative therapeutics and healthcare technologies. PDL BioPharma was founded in 1986 as Protein Design Labs, Inc. when it pioneered the humanization of monoclonal antibodies, enabling the discovery of a new generation of targeted treatments that have had a profound impact on patients living with different cancers as well as a variety of other debilitating diseases. In 2006, we changed our name to PDL BioPharma, Inc.

In September 2019, we engaged financial and legal advisors and initiated a review of our strategy. This review was completed in December 2019. At such time, we disclosed that we planned to halt the execution of our growth strategy, cease making additional strategic transactions and investments and pursue a formal process to unlock the value of our portfolio by monetizing our assets and ultimately distributing net proceeds to stockholders (the “monetization strategy”). Pursuant to our monetization strategy, we do not expect to enter into any additional strategic transactions or investments. We further announced in December 2019 that we would explore a variety of potential transactions in connection with the monetization strategy, including a sale of the Company, divestiture of our assets or businesses, a spin-off transaction, a merger or a combination thereof.

Over the subsequent months, our board of directors (the “Board”) and management analyzed, together with our outside financial and legal advisors, how to best capture value pursuant to our monetization strategy and best return the significant intrinsic value of the assets in our portfolio to the stockholders. In March 2020, we announced that the Board approved a plan of complete liquidation (the “Plan of Liquidation”) of our assets and passed a resolution to seek stockholder approval to dissolve the Company under Delaware law at its next annual meeting of the stockholders in the event that the Board concludes that a whole Company sale is unlikely to maximize the value that can be returned to the stockholders from our monetization process. We would, if approved by the stockholders, file a Certificate of Dissolution in Delaware and proceed to wind-down and dissolve the Company in accordance with Delaware law.

Pursuant to its monetization strategy, we are exploring a variety of potential transactions, including a whole Company sale, divestiture of assets, spin-offs of operating entities, merger opportunities or a combination thereof. In addition, we have analyzed, and continue to analyze, the optimal mechanisms for returning value to stockholders in a tax-efficient manner, including via share repurchases, cash dividends and other distributions of assets. We have not set a definitive timeline and intend to pursue monetization in a disciplined and cost-effective manner to maximize returns to stockholders. We recognize, however, that accelerating the timeline, while continuing to optimize asset value, could increase returns to stockholders due to reduced general and administrative expenses as well as provide faster returns to stockholders. While, as noted herein, we are cognizant that an accelerated timeline may provide greater and faster returns to our stockholders, we also recognize that the duration and extent of the public health issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic make it possible, and perhaps probable, that the timing of the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, including the key assets, and therefore the timing of the Dissolution, may require additional time to execute. We will continue to assess the market for our assets so as to determine the appropriate time to sell each of the assets of the Company.

We seekHistorically, we generated a substantial portion of our revenues through the license agreements related to provide a significant return for our shareholders by acquiring and managing a portfoliopatents covering the humanization of companies, products, royalty agreements and debt facilities inantibodies, which we refer to as the biotech, pharmaceutical and medical device industries.Queen et al. patents. In 2012, we began providing alternative sources of capital through royalty monetizationsmonetization and debt facilities, and, in 2016, we began acquiring commercial-stage products and launching specialized companies dedicated to the commercialization of these products. In 2019, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Evofem, pursuant to which we invested $60.0 million in a private placement of securities. These investments provided funding for Evofem’s pre-commercial activities for PhexxiTM, its investigational, non-hormonal, on-demand prescription contraceptive gel for women. To date, we have consummated 17eighteen transactions, the following ten of such transactions, of which nine are active and outstanding.

Medical Devices

LENSAR

LENSAR is a medical device company focused on delivering next generation femtosecond cataract laser technology used in refractive cataract surgical procedures. LENSAR’s femtosecond laser uses advanced imaging and laser technology to customize planning and treatments, allowing faster visual recovery and improved outcomes, as compared to conventional cataract surgery, a more manual procedure combined with ultrasound, referred to as phacoemulsification. LENSAR has developed the LENSAR®, Tekturna HCTLaser System, which is the only femtosecond cataract laser built specifically for refractive cataract surgery. LENSAR has over 85 granted patents in the United States and the rest of the world and over 60 pending patent applications in the United States and rest of the world.

®, RasilezCataract surgery is the highest volume surgical procedure performed worldwide with 30 million surgeries projected in 2020, the majority of which use conventional phacoemulsification techniques. LENSAR is currently focusing its research and development efforts on an advanced integrated workstation combining an enhanced LENSAR® Laser System and Rasilez HCTa phacoemulsification device in a single, compact workstation, designed to fit directly in the surgical theater. LENSAR’s recent acquisitions of certain intellectual property uniquely position LENSAR to develop a system that can perform all cataract surgeries in a single platform.  



The LENSAR® (collectively,Laser System offers cataract surgeons automation and customization for their astigmatism treatment planning and other essential steps of the “Noden Products” or “Tekturna”refractive cataract surgery procedure with the highest levels of precision, accuracy, and efficiency. These features assist surgeons in managing their astigmatism treatment plans for optimal overall visual outcomes.

Strategic Positions

Evofem

We invested $60.0 million in Evofem in the second quarter of 2019, representing approximately a 27% ownership interest in the company as of March 31, 2020. The transaction was structured in two tranches. The first tranche comprised $30.0 million, which was funded on April 11, 2019. We invested an additional $30.0 million in a second tranche on June 10, 2019, alongside two existing Evofem shareholders, who each invested an additional $10.0 million. These investments provided funding for Evofem’s pre-commercial activities for PhexxiTM, its investigational, non-hormonal, on-demand prescription contraceptive gel for women. We believe this investment provided us the ability to take a significant position in a promising company at a critical stage of development where we expectcould provide meaningful contributions through our capital and expertise.

Evofem is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to focusdeveloping and commercializing innovative products to address unmet needs in women’s sexual and reproductive health. Evofem is leveraging its proprietary Multipurpose Vaginal pH Regulator (MVP-R™) platform to develop PhexxiTM (L-lactic acid, citric acid and potassium bitartrate) for hormone-free birth control. In 2015, Evofem submitted a New Drug Application (“NDA”) for prevention of pregnancy to the FDA. In April 2016, the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter with respect to the NDA, citing certain clinical deficiencies. In the fourth quarter of 2019, Evofem resubmitted the NDA, which included results from a subsequent Phase 3 trial. In December 2019, the FDA acknowledged receipt of the NDA and assigned a six-month review period and a Prescription Drug User Fee Act goal date of May 25, 2020.

The MVP-R is also being studied for the prevention of urogenital transmission of chlamydia and gonorrhea in women. In December 2019, Evofem announced positive top-line results from AMPREVENCE, a Phase 2b clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of its investigational MVP-R candidate, EVO100, for the prevention of urogenital transmission of chlamydia and gonorrhea in women. Further analysis is ongoing and final results are subject to change based on a comprehensive review by the acquisition of additional productscompany and expect to transact fewer royalty transactions and still fewer debt transactions. We anticipate that over time more of our revenues will come from our pharmaceutical segment and less of our revenues will come from our income generating assets segment.the FDA.

Pharmaceutical

In 2016 we began acquiring, and plan to continue to acquire, commercial-stage products and companies who own or are acquiring pharmaceutical products. Our investment objective with respect to these transactions is to maximize our portfolio’s total return by generating current income from product sales. We consummated our first investment of this type with the acquisition of Tekturna in July 2016.



Noden Purchase Agreement

On July 1, 2016, our subsidiary, Noden Pharma DAC, entered into an asset purchase agreement (“Noden Purchase Agreement”) whereby it purchased from Novartis Pharma AG (“Novartis”) the exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture, market, and sell the Noden Products and certain related assets and assumed certain related liabilities (the “Noden Transaction”). Upon the consummation of the Noden Transaction, a noncontrolling interest holder acquired 6% equity interests in Noden Pharma DAC and Noden Pharma USA, Inc. (together, with any, together, and including their respective subsidiaries “Noden”). We purchased the equity interestsrepresent deployed capital of the noncontrolling interest holder in May 2017.$191.2 million.

In the United States, the duration of the profit transfer ran fromFDA Orange Book for Tekturna lists U.S. Patent No. 8,617,595, which covers certain compositions comprising aliskiren, together with other formulation components, and will expire on February 19, 2026. The FDA Orange Book for Tekturna HCT lists U.S. patent Nos. 8,618,172, which expires on July 1, 2016 through October 4, 2016. Outside the United States, the profit transfer is expected to run from July 1, 2016 through the fourth quarter of 2017. The event that terminates the profit transfer arrangement is the transfer of the marketing authorization for the four products from Novartis to Noden. Generally, the profit transfer to Noden is defined as gross revenues less product cost, a low single digit percentage as a fee to Novartis. Prior to the transfer of the marketing authorization, revenue will be recognized on a “net” basis; after the transfer of the marketing authorization, revenue will be recognized on a “gross” basis.

In May 2017, we acquired 100% of the equity interests of LENSAR, who previously was a borrower under a credit facility with us.

LENSAR

On May 11, 2017, pursuant to the terms of a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, most of LENSAR’s outstanding debt owed to us was converted to equity and LENSAR became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

LENSAR is a medical device company focused on the next generation femtosecond cataract laser technology for refractive cataract surgery. Cataract surgery is the highest volume surgical procedure performed worldwide with over 24.9 million surgeries performed in 2016. The LENSAR Laser System offers cataract surgeons automation and customization for their astigmatism treatment planning and other essential steps of the refractive cataract surgery procedure with the highest levels of precision, accuracy, and efficiency. These features assist surgeons in managing astigmatism treatment for optimal overall visual outcomes.

The LENSAR Laser System has been approved by the FDA for anterior capsulotomy, lens fragmentation, and corneal and arcuate incisions.

Income Generating Assets

We acquirehave pursued income generating assets when such assets can be acquired on terms that we believe allow us to increase return to our stockholders. The income generating assets are typically in the formconsist of (i) notes and other long-term receivables, (ii) royalty rights and hybrid notes/royalty receivables, (iii) equity investments and in some cases, equity. We primarily focus our income generating asset acquisition strategy on commercial-stage therapies and medical devices having strong economic fundamentals.

Royalty Rights - At Fair Value

We have entered into various royalty purchase agreements with counterparties, whereby the counterparty conveys to us the right to receive royalties that are typically payable on sales revenue generated by the sale, distribution or other use of the counterparties’ products. Certain of our royalty agreements provide the counterparty with the right to repurchase the

We use significant judgment in determining our valuation inputs, including estimates as to the probability and timing of future sales of the licensed product. A third-party expert is generally engaged to assist us with the development of our estimate of the expected future cash flows. The estimated fair value of the asset is subject to variation should those cash flows vary significantly from our estimates. At each reporting period, an evaluation is performed to assess those estimates, discount rates utilized and general market conditions affecting fair market value.

While we currently maintain this portfolio of royalty rights, our intention is to pursue fewer of these transactions while we focus on acquiring additional specialty pharmaceutical products or companies. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, we had a total of sixfive royalty rights transactions outstanding.

Notes and Other Long-Term Receivables

We have entered and may continue to enter, into credit agreements with borrowers across the healthcare industry, under which we makemade available cash loans to be used by the borrower. Obligations under these credit agreements are typically secured by a pledge of substantially all the assets of the borrower and any of its subsidiaries. WhileAt March 31, 2020, we currently maintain this portfoliohad two note receivable transactions outstanding.

Equity Investments

In the past, we have received equity instruments, including shares of notes receivable, our intentionstock or warrants to acquire shares of stock, in connection with credit agreements we entered into with borrowers in the healthcare industry. Our investment objective with respect to these equity investments is to pursue fewer debt transactions,maximize our return through capital appreciation and, focus on acquiring additional specialty pharmaceutical products or companies.when appropriate, to capture the value through optimally timed exit strategies. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, we had a total of two notes receivable transactionone equity investment outstanding.

Royalties from Queen et al. patents

While the Queen et al. patents have expired and the resulting royalty revenue has dropped substantially since the first quarter of 2016, we continue to receive royalty revenue from one product under the Queen et al. patent licenses, Tysabri®, as a result of sales of licensed product that was manufactured prior to patent expiry.

Intellectual Property

Patents

Tekturna is protected by multiple patents worldwide, which specifically cover the composition of matter, the pharmaceutical formulations and methods of production. In the United States, the FDA Orange Book lists one patent, U.S. patent No. 5,559,111 (the “’111 Patent”), which covers compositions of matter comprising aliskiren. The ‘111 Patent expires on January 21, 2019, including a pediatric extension. In addition, the FDA Orange Book for Tekturna lists U.S. Patent No. 8,617,595, which covers certain compositions comprising aliskiren, together with other formulation components, and will expire on February 19, 2026. The FDA Orange Book for Tekturna HCT lists U.S. patent No. 8,618,172, which covers certain compositions comprising aliskiren, together with other formulation components, and will expire on July 13, 2028. In Europe, European patent No. 678 503B (the “’503B Patent”) expired in 2015. However, numerous SPCs have been granted which are based on the ‘503B Patent and which will provide for extended protection. These SPCs generally expire in April of 2020.

The LENSAR Laser System technology is protected by over 35 patents in the United States and over 60 pending patents in the United States and rest of the world.


know-how

We have been issued patents in the United States and elsewhere, covering the humanization of antibodies, which we refer to as our Queen et al. patents. Our Queen et al. patents, for which final patent expiry was in December 2014, covered, among other things, humanized antibodies, methods for humanizing antibodies, polynucleotide encoding in humanized antibodies and methods of producing humanized antibodies.

Our U.S. patent No. 5,693,761 (the “761 Patent”), which expired on December 2, 2014, covered methods and materials used in the manufacture of humanized antibodies. In addition to covering methods and materials used in the manufacture of humanized antibodies, coverage under our 761 Patent typically extended to the use or sale of compositions made with those methods and/or materials. Our European patent no. 0 451 216B (the “216B Patent”) expired in Europe in December 2009. We have been granted Supplementary Protection Certificates (“SPCs”) for the Avastin®, Herceptin®, Lucentis®, Xolair® and Tysabri® products in many of the jurisdictions in the European Union in connection with the 216B Patent. The SPCs effectively extended our patent protection with respect to Avastin, Herceptin, Lucentis, Xolair and Tysabri generally until December 2014, except that the SPCs for Herceptin expired in July 2014. Because SPCs are granted on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, the duration of the extension varies slightly in certain jurisdictions. Our revenue from payments made from the Queen et al. patents license and settlement materially decreased in the second quarter of 2016, with only revenue from Tysabri being recognized after such period.

Licensing Agreements
We havepreviously entered into licensing agreements under our Queen et al. patents with numerous entities that are independently developing or have developed humanized antibodies. Although the Queen et al. patents and related rights have expired, we are entitled under our license agreements to continue to receive royalties in certain instances based on net sales of products that were made prior to but sold after patent expiry. In addition, we are entitled to royalties based on know-how provided to a licensee. In general, these agreements cover antibodies targeting antigens specified in the license agreements. Under our licensing agreements, we are entitled to receive a flat-rate royalty based upon our licensees’ net sales of covered antibodies.antibodies, although the royalties under these agreements have substantially ended.

Genentech

We entered into a master patent license agreement, effective September 25, 1998, under which we granted Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech”) a license under our Queen et al. patents to make, use and sell certain antibody products.

On January 31, 2014, we entered into the Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Genentech and F. Hoffman LaRoche, Ltd. (“Roche”) that resolved all existing legal disputes between the parties.

The Settlement Agreement precluded Genentech and Roche from challenging the validity of our patents, including our SPCs in Europe, from contesting their obligation to pay royalties to us, from contesting patent coverage for Avastin, Herceptin, Lucentis, Xolair, Perjeta, Kadcyla and Gazyva (collectively, the “Genentech Products”) and from assisting or encouraging any third party in challenging our patents and SPCs. The Settlement Agreement further outlined the conduct of any audits initiated by us of the books and records of Genentech in an effort to ensure a full and fair audit procedure.

Biogen

We entered into a patent license agreement, effective April 24, 1998, under which we granted to Elan Corporation, plc (“Elan”) a license under our Queen et al. patents to make, use and sell antibodies that bind to the cellular adhesion molecule α4 in patients with multiple sclerosis. Under the agreement, we arewould be entitled to receive a flat royalty ratebased on a “know-how” license for technology provided in the low, single digits baseddesign of this antibody. The 2% royalty on Elan’s net sales is payable for 12.5 years after the product’s first commercial sale. The above described study is currently in Phase 3 testing with results expected in July of the Tysabri product. This license agreement entitles us to royalties following the expiration of our patents with respect to sales of licensed product manufactured prior to patent expiry in jurisdictions providing patent protection. In April 2013, Biogen, Inc. (“Biogen”) completed its purchase of Elan’s interest in Tysabri, and in connection with such purchase all obligations under our patent license agreement with Elan were assumed by Biogen.2022.

Economic and Industry-wide Factors
 
Various economic and industry-wide factors are relevant to our business, including changes to laws and interpretation of those laws that protect our intellectual property rights, our licensees’ ability to obtain or retain regulatory approval for products licensed under our patents, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the ability to attract, retain and integrate qualified personnel, as well as overall global economic conditions. We actively monitor economic, industry and market factors affecting our business; however, we cannot predict the impact such factors may have on our future results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.



On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic, as the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus spread throughout the world. The outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted our business operations and has adversely impacted LENSAR. Actions taken to mitigate coronavirus have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the geographical areas in which LENSAR operates. Cataract surgery is typically considered an elective surgery and as such the majority of LENSAR’s customers are not utilizing the LENSAR Laser Systems as they normally would at this time. LENSAR has also experienced minor supply chain disruptions. It is unclear at this time how severely our LENSAR and our other businesses may be impacted in the future.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law at the end of March 2020 and contains numerous forms of economic stimulus, including SBA guaranteed loans and certain income tax provisions. The tax provisions of the CARES Act, among other things, allows for a five year carryback of net operating losses for tax years 2018-2020.

See also the risk factors included herein in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20162019 and ourin subsequent quarterly filings for additional factors that may impact our business and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. The accounting estimates that require management’s most significant, difficult and subjective judgments include the valuation of royalty rights - at fair value, assets and liabilities held for sale, product revenue recognition and allowance for customer rebates and allowances, the valuation of notes receivable and inventory, the assessment of recoverability of intangible assets and their estimated useful lives, the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation, the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation of warrants to acquire shares of common stock. Furthermore, the impact on accounting estimates and judgments on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations due to COVID-19 has introduced additional uncertainties. We base our estimates, where possible, on our limited historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, we reclassified our Pharmaceutical segment and the royalty right assets within the Income Generating Assets segment to assets held for sale. Assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale when all of the following criteria for a plan of sale have been met: (1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the assets; (2) the assets are available for immediate sale, in their present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; (3) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the assets have been initiated; (4) the sale of the assets is probable and is expected to be completed within one year; (5) the assets are being actively marketed for a price that is reasonable in relation to their current fair value; and (6) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn. When all of these criteria have been met, the assets (and liabilities) are classified as held for sale in the balance sheet for the current and comparative reporting periods. Assets classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization of assets ceases upon designation as held for sale. The assets and liabilities held for sale are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale, respectively. The profits and losses are presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations for the current and prior periods.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, there have not been noany other significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those presented in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016,2019, that are of significance, or potential significance, to us. Summarized below are the accounting pronouncements and policies adopted subsequent to December 31, 2019.



Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new guidance amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of losses. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As a consequence of adopting ASU 2016-13, the Company’s accounts receivable accounting policy has been updated, as follows:

The Company makes estimates of the collectability of accounts receivable.  In doing so, the Company analyzes historical bad debt trends, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.  Amounts are charged off against the allowance for credit losses when the Company determines that recovery is unlikely and the Company ceases collection efforts. The Company applies the practical expedient for its collateral-dependent notes receivable.  Estimated credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral (less costs to sell, as applicable). 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement. The new guidance modifies disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have an effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements on the adoption date and no adjustment to prior year Consolidated Financial Statements was required.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software. The new guidance reduces complexity for the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement and aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15 on January 1, 2020 using the prospective transition option. The adoption did not have an effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements on the adoption date and no adjustment to prior year Consolidated Financial Statements was required.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. For public companies, the amendments in ASU No. 2019-12 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements.




Operating Results

Three and nineAs noted above, during the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, we reclassified our Pharmaceutical segment and the royalty right assets within the Income Generating Assets segment to assets held for sale. When the held for sale criteria have been met, depreciation and amortization of those assets is suspended and the profits and losses are presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations. The operating results presented below are segregated between continuing operations and discontinued operations. Results from the prior year comparative period are classified consistently with the current year presentation.

Total revenues were $62.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $53.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Our total revenues increased by 17%, or $9.1 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same period of 2016. The increase was primarily due to the increase in estimated fair value of the Depomed royalty asset recognized in revenues and the product revenues from the Noden Products and LENSAR. Total revenues were $252.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $177.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Our total revenues increased by 42%, or $74.2 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same period of 2016. The increase was primarily due to the increase in estimated fair value of the Depomed royalty asset recognized in revenues, the Merck settlement payment and revenues from Noden and LENSAR product sales.

Our Product revenue, net consists entirely of revenue from our Medical Devices segment. We record Product revenue from our Medical Devices segment from our LENSAR product sales which include LENSAR® Laser Systems, disposable consumables, procedures, training, installation, warranty and maintenance services.

RevenueProduct sales for our Pharmaceutical segment are included in (Loss) income from our pharmaceutical segment for the threediscontinued operations and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $15.1 million and $43.9 million, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. All pharmaceutical revenues were derived from salesare net of the Noden Products. While we acquired the exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture, market, and sell the Noden Products from Novartis on July 1, 2016, Novartis was still the primary obligor during the first through third quarters of 2017 for ex-U.S. sales, therefore revenue is presented on a “net” basis for those periods for all ex-U.S. sales. Our revenue recognition policies require estimated product returns, pricing discounts, including rebates offered pursuant to mandatory federal and state government programs, and chargebacks, prompt pay discounts, and distribution fees and co-pay assistance for product sales at each period. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations Classified as Assets Held for Sale, for additional information on our Pharmaceutical product sales.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

Total revenues were $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared with $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Our total revenues decreased by 10%, or $0.7 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, when compared to the same period of 2019. The following table providesdecrease was driven by the estimated negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated deferral of elective surgical procedures in both North America and the rest of the world.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

Total operating expenses were $37.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared with $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Our operating expenses increased 154%, or $23.0 million, for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, when compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily a summaryresult of activityprovisions under our Wind-Down Retention Plan.

After we announced our monetization strategy, we recognized that our ability to execute on our plan and optimize returns to its shareholders depended to a large extent on our ability to retain the necessary expertise to effectively transact with respect to our sales allowancesassets. On December 21, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board adopted the Wind Down Retention Plan in which our executive officers and other employees who are participants in our Severance Plan are eligible to participate. Under the Wind Down Retention Plan, participants are eligible to earn a retention benefit in consideration for their continued employment with the Company. The Wind Down Retention benefits are equivalent to previously disclosed compensation payments contemplated in connection with a change in control under our existing Severance Plan. Under the Wind Down Retention Plan, payment of the retention benefit to any participant will occur upon termination of the participant’s employment with the Company either by the Company without cause or by the participant for good reason. The retention benefit, if paid, would be in lieu of (and not in addition to) any other severance compensation that could become payable to the participant under our Severance Plan. In connection with the adoption of the Wind Down Retention Plan, a severance liability is being recorded over the remaining service period for the participating employees. As of March 31, 2020, we recorded a severance liability of $3.0 million. Expenses associated with severance payments and accruals are reflected in Severance and retention.

The Wind Down Retention Plan also provides that, consistent with the existing terms of the our Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”), the vesting of all outstanding equity awards held by participants as of the date the Wind Down Retention Plan was adopted will be accelerated upon the earlier of: (i) a termination of the participant’s employment with the Company either by the Company without cause or by the participant for good reason or (ii) the consummation of a change in control (as defined in the Equity Plan) of the Company. In addition, the post-termination exercise period for all outstanding stock options will be extended until their expiration date. In the first quarter of 2020, in connection with the Board adopting the Plan of Liquidation all of the stock options and restricted stock granted to our employees, executive officers and directors accelerated and vested under the change in control definition in the Equity Plan, other than certain outstanding awards under the 2016/20 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The expense associated with the accelerated vesting, totaled $15.7 million and is also reflected in Severance and retention.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

Non-operating expense, net, increased for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to a decline in the fair value of our investment in Evofem. In addition, we recorded a Loss on the extinguishment of our convertible notes and a decrease in Interest and other income due to lower cash balances in the current period. These were partially offset by lower interest expense in conjunction with the extinguishment of a substantial portion of our convertible notes.

Evofem’s stock price declined from December 31, 2019 to end the quarter at $5.32 per share as of March 31, 2020. We acquired our shares of common stock for $4.50 per share and were also issued warrants to purchase additional shares of Evofem.

Income Taxes

Income tax benefit from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, was $14.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which resulted primarily from anticipated use of Net Operating Loss carrybacks as allowed by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. Our effective tax rate for the current period differs from the


U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the effect of state income taxes, non-deductible executive compensation and the foreign tax rate differential associated with our operations of Noden DAC in Ireland.

The uncertain tax positions did not change during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Our income tax returns are subject to examination by U.S. federal, foreign, state and local tax authorities for tax years 2000 forward. We are currently under audit by the California Franchise Tax Board (the “CFTB”) for the tax years 2009 through 2015 and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) for the tax year 2016. The timing of the audit resolution and the amount to be ultimately paid, if any, is uncertain. The outcome of these audits could result in the payment of tax amounts that differ from the amounts we have reserved for uncertain tax positions for the periods under audit resulting in incremental expense or a reversal of the reserves in a future period. At this time, we do not anticipate a material change in the unrecognized tax benefits related to the CFTB or IRS audits that would affect the effective tax rate or deferred tax assets over the next 12 months.

The Pharmaceutical segment and the royalty right assets in the Income Generating Assets segment have been classified as held for sale and reported as discontinued operations.

Revenue from our income generating assetsPharmaceutical segment for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $42.7March 31, 2020 was $15.0 million, an increasea decrease of 8.0%25%, or $3.2 million, compared to the same period last year,in the prior year. The decrease in revenue from our Pharmaceutical segment is primarily due to lower net revenues in the United States partially offset by an increase the rest of the world. The decrease in revenue from our Pharmaceutical segment in the United States for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is due to the increased sales of our authorized generic and lower sales of our branded drug as compared to the first quarter of 2019. The increase in revenue for the rest of the world is due to higher sales volume of Rasilez in certain territories. This decrease in revenue was accompanied by a 3% decrease in cost of goods sold, compared to the prior year. This smaller decrease in cost of goods sold as compared to revenue is due to the higher percentage of authorized generic sales in the current period. Sales and marketing expenses have


decreased substantially while the portion of general and administrative expenses attributable to the Pharmaceutical segment were relatively unchanged. Amortization of intangible assets expense decreased after Noden’s intangible assets were impaired at December 31, 2019, resulting in lower amortization.

The royalty right assets in our Income Generating Assets segment generated cash flows of $13.6 million and a net change in fair value of the Depomed royalty asset and the Merck settlement payment$9.4 million in the second quarter of 2017. Revenues from our income generating assets segment for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 were $200.5 million, an increase of 23%, or $36.9 million,March 31, 2020 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the increasecash flows of $12.6 million and a net change in fair value of $12.3 million in the Depomed royalty asset and the Merck settlement payment, partially offset by ceasing to receive revenue from Genentech after the first quarter of 2016.three month period ended March 31, 2019.

Revenue from our medical devices segment forDuring the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $5.0March 31, 2020 we recorded a loss upon classification as held for sale of $12.8 million. Of this amount $7.9 million relates to the estimated costs to sell the royalty assets and $7.6Noden and $4.9 million respectively. All revenues from our medical devices segment were derived from LENSAR laser system revenue, procedures and consumables and service revenue which we beganrepresents the fair value adjustment to recognize beginning May 11, 2017.

Foreign currency exchange rates impact our reported revenues, primarily from licenses of the Queen et al. patents. Our revenues may fluctuate due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are subject to foreign currency exchange risk. While foreign currency conversion terms vary by license agreement, generally most agreements require that royalties first be calculated in the currency of sale and then converted into U.S. dollars using the average daily exchange rates for that currency for a specified period at the end of the calendar quarter. Accordingly, when the U.S. dollar weakens against other currencies, the converted amount is greater than it otherwise would have been had the U.S. dollar strengthened. For example, in a quarter in which we generate $10.0 million in royalty revenues, and when approximately $5.0 million of such royalty revenues are based on sales in currencies other than U.S. dollar, if the U.S. dollar strengthens across all currencies by 10% during the reporting period for that quarter, when compared to the same amount of local currency royalties for the prior year, U.S. dollar converted royalties will be approximately $0.5 million less in the current quarter than in the prior year’s quarter.

We previously hedged certain Euro-denominated currency exposures related to our licensees’ product sales with Euro forward contracts. We designated foreign currency exchange contracts used to hedge royalty revenues based on underlying Euro-denominated sales as cash flow hedges. The aggregate unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, on the effective portion of the hedge was recorded in stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. Realized gains or losses on cash flow hedges were recognized as an adjustment to royalty revenue in the same period that the hedged transaction impacts earnings. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized no additions in royalty revenues from our Euro forward contracts, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized zero and $2.8 million, respectively.

General administrative expenses increased by $8.7 million of which $6.8 million was related to acquisitions in the pharmaceutical and medical devices segment, $1.7 million relates to asset management expenses for LENSAR and Direct Flow Medical and approximately $0.7 million of our professional consulting service expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $0.9 million in our asset purchase expenses.

Non-operating expense, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased, as compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to the increase in interest expense from the December 2021 Note entered into during the fourth quarter of 2016, partially offset by the partial repayment of the February 2018 Notes in November 2016. The increase in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016, consisted primarily of non-cash interest expense as we are required to compute interest expense using the interest rate for similar nonconvertible instruments in accordance with the accounting guidance for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets on conversion.

(Loss) Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, was $4.8 million and $14.4 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, by $65.2 million and $50.0 million, respectively, which resulted primarily from applying the federal statutory income tax rate to income before income taxes. Our effective tax rates for the current period differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to the effect of Subpart F income as result of the


product acquisition triggering U.S. tax on our pro rata share of income earned by Noden as a controlled foreign corporation during the transitional service period. We intend to indefinitely reinvest all our undistributed foreign earnings outside the United States.

The uncertain tax positions increased during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, by zero and $0.6 million, respectively, and increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, by $29.7 million and $2.4 million, resulting from an increase in tax uncertainties and estimated tax liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We financehave previously financed our operations primarily through royalty and other license-related revenues, public and private placements of debt and equity securities, interest income on invested capital and cash generated from pharmaceutical and medical device product sales. We plan to continue to finance our operations in the near term primarily through royalty revenues and cash generated from product sales.

In September 2019, we engaged financial and legal advisors and initiated a review of our strategy. In December 2019, we disclosed that we planned to halt the execution of our growth strategy, cease making additional strategic transactions and investments and pursue a formal process to unlock the value of our portfolio by monetizing our assets and ultimately returning net proceeds to our stockholders. Over the subsequent months, our Board and management analyzed, together with its outside financial and legal advisors, how to best capture value pursuant to its monetization strategy and best return the significant intrinsic value of the assets in its portfolio to the stockholders. In March 2020, we announced our Board approved the Plan of Liquidation of our assets and passed a resolution to seek stockholder approval to dissolve the Company under Delaware law at its next annual meeting of the stockholders in the event that our Board concludes that a whole Company sale is unlikely to maximize the value that can be returned to the stockholders from our monetization process. We currentlywould, if approved by the stockholders, file a certificate of dissolution in Delaware and proceed to wind-down and dissolve the Company in accordance with Delaware law. Pursuant to its monetization strategy, we are exploring a variety of potential transactions, including a whole Company sale, divestiture of assets, spin-offs of operating entities, merger opportunities or a combination thereof. In addition, we have one part-timeanalyzed, and ten full-time employees managing our intellectual property, our asset acquisitionscontinue to analyze, the optimal mechanisms for returning value to stockholders in a tax-efficient manner, including via share repurchases, cash dividends and other corporate activitiesdistributions of assets. We have not set a definitive timeline and intend to pursue monetization in a disciplined and cost-effective manner to maximize returns to stockholders. We recognize, however, that accelerating the timeline, while continuing to optimize asset value, could increase returns to stockholders due to reduced general and administrative expenses as well as providing for certain essential reportingprovide faster returns to stockholders. While we are cognizant that an accelerated timeline may provide greater and management functionsfaster returns to our stockholders, we also recognize that the duration and extent of athe public company.

We had cash, cash equivalentshealth issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic make it possible, and short-term investments inperhaps probable, that the aggregatetiming of $516.5 million and $167.1 million at September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to the sale of note receivables for $144.8 million, the repurchase by Takedaall or substantially all of the ARIAD royalty right asset for $108.2 million, paymentour assets, including the key assets, and therefore the timing of the $89.0 million anniversary payment, maturityDissolution, may require additional time to execute .



As a result of this monetization strategy, we expect to generate additional cash from the sale of one or more of the investment-other asset for $75.0 million,assets in our portfolio with the intention of managing the successful wind down of our business and distributing the remaining net proceeds from royalty right paymentsto our stockholders.

Our future capital requirements are difficult to forecast and will depend upon many factors, including the type of $74.4 million,distributions we make, the amount of net cash proceeds we receive, after transaction costs, and the proceeds from sale of assets held for sale of $8.1 million, partially offset bytime it takes to monetize our assets. Our future capital requirements will also depend on the repurchaseamount of common stock and convertible notes we repurchase under our repurchase program, both of which we expect to pursue as part of our monetization strategy.

The general cash needs of our Medical Devices, Strategic Positions, Pharmaceutical and Income Generating Assets segments can vary significantly.
In our Medical Devices segment, the primary factor determining cash needs is the funding of operations, which we expect to continue to expand as the business grows, and enhancing our product offerings through the research and development of our next generation device which will integrate a femtosecond laser and a phacoemulsification system in a single, compact workstation.
In our Pharmaceutical segment, cash needs tend to be driven primarily by material purchases.
The cash needs of our Income Generating Assets segment tend to be driven by legal and professional service fees required for $30.0 million,operating a publicly traded company, as well as the funding of potential repurchases of our common stock and convertible notes.
The current cash paidneeds for the purchase of noncontrolling interest of $2.2 million, the purchase of fixed assets of $1.2 million, and cash used in operating activities of $58.1 million.our Strategic Positions segment are insignificant.

On March 1, 2017, theDecember 9, 2019, we announced that our board of directorsBoard authorized the repurchase of up to $30.0 millionissued and outstanding shares of our common stock through March 2018. The repurchasesand convertible notes up to an aggregate value of $200.0 million pursuant to a share repurchase program. On December 16, 2019, we announced that our Board approved a $75.0 million increase to this repurchase program. Repurchases under the sharenew repurchase program werewill be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and were funded from the our working capital. All shares of common stock repurchased under this share repurchase program were retired and restored to authorized but unissued shares of common stock as of June 30, 2017. We repurchased 13.3 million shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 for an aggregate purchase price of $30.0 million, or an average cost of $2.25 per share.

On September 25, 2017, we announced that our board of directors authorized the repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of the our common stock having an aggregate value of up to $25.0 million pursuant to a share repurchase program. The repurchases under the share repurchase program are made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and are funded from the our working capital. The amount and timing of such repurchases are dependentwill depend upon the price and availability of shares or convertible notes, general market conditions and the availability of cash. RepurchasesCommon stock and convertible note repurchases may also be made under a trading plan under RueRule 10b5-1, which would permit shares and convertible notes to be repurchased when we might otherwise be precluded from doing so because of self-imposed trading blackout periods or other regulatory restrictions. All shares of common stock repurchased under the shareour repurchase program are expected to be retired and restored to authorized but unissued shares of common stock. All convertible notes repurchased under the program will be retired.

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, we have nothad repurchased $50.2 million in aggregate principal amount of December 2021 Notes and $85.0 million in aggregate principal amount of December 2024 Notes under the Board authorized program. As of March 31, 2020 approximately $14.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes remain outstanding. Pursuant to the convertible note repurchase transactions and the unwinding of a portion of the capped call transaction entered into for the notes, we also repurchased 3.2 million shares of our common stock under this plan. Theprogram directly from our capped call counterparty. We repurchased 6.3 million shares of its common stock under this repurchase program during the three months ended March 31, 2020, for an aggregate purchase price of $20.3 million, or an average cost of $3.20 per share, including trading commissions. This repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

AlthoughOur debt service obligations consist of interest payments and repayment of the lastremaining amount of our Queen et al. patents expiredDecember 2021 Notes and December 2024 Notes. We may continue our efforts to repurchase the remaining outstanding convertible notes, which could adversely affect the amount or timing of any distributions to our stockholders. We expect to finance such repurchases with cash on hand.

We had cash and cash equivalents in the aggregate of $125.5 million and $169.0 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 2014, we have received royalties beyond expiration based on 31, 2019, respectively, representing a decrease of $43.5 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to:
the termsrepurchase of common stock for $19.2 million,
the net cash used for the repurchase of our licensesconvertible notes of $18.0 million, and our legal settlements.
cash used for operating activities of $15.3 million, partially offset by
proceeds from royalty right payments of $13.6 million.



We believe that cash on hand and cash generated from future revenues and from acquired income generating assets and products,asset sales, net of operating expenses, debt service and income taxes, plus cash on hand, will be sufficient to fund our operations over the next several years. However,until all net proceeds are distributed to our acquired income generating assets and products will not result in cash flows to us, in the near term, that will replace the cash flows we received from our license agreements related to the Queen et al. patents. In the second quarter of 2016, our cash flows materially decreased after we stopped receiving payments from certain of the Queen et al. patent licenses and our legal settlements.stockholders. Our continued success is dependent on our ability to


acquire new income generating execute on our planned strategy to monetize our assets, and products, and the timing of these transactions, in order to provide recurring cash flows going forwardreturn capital to our stockholders and to supportservice our business model, and to pay amounts due on our debt as they become due.remaining debt.

We continuously evaluate alternatives to increase return forIn addition, we have cash and cash equivalents at our stockholders, including, for example, purchasing income generating assets, selling discreet assets, buying back our convertible notes, repurchasing our common stockPharmaceutical segment of $21.3 million and selling our company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4)(ii).

Contractual Obligations

Convertible Senior Notes

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, our convertible note obligationoutstanding notes consisted of our February 2018December 2021 Notes and December 20212024 Notes, which in the aggregate totaled $276.4$14.8 million in principal.

We expect that our debt service obligations over the next several years will consist of interest payments and the repurchase or repayment of our February 2018December 2021 Notes and December 20212024 Notes. We may further seek to exchange, repurchase or otherwise acquirehave actively repurchased the convertible senior notes in privately negotiated transactions and in the open market in the future, which could adversely affect the amount or timing of any distributions to our stockholders. We would make such exchanges or repurchases only if we deemed it to be in our stockholders’ best interest. We may finance such repurchases withusing cash on hand and/or with public or private equity or debt financings if we deem such financings to be available on favorable terms.

Noden Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to the Noden Purchase Agreement, Noden is required to pay up to $95.0 million in milestone payments, subject to the occurrence of such milestones. If the milestones are achieved, we expect to fund at least $38.0 million in the form of additional equity contributions to Noden.

Kybella Royalty Agreement

On July 8, 2016, we entered into a royalty purchase and sales agreement with an individual, whereby we acquired that individual’s rights to receive certain royalties on sales of KYBELLA by Allergan, in exchange for a $9.5 million cash payment and up to $1.0 million in a future milestone payment based upon product sales targets.hand.

Guarantees
Novartis Anniversary Payment Guarantee

On June 30, 2016, we purchased a $75.0 million certificate of deposit, which is designated as cash collateral for the $75.0 million letter of credit issued on July 1, 2016 with respect to the first anniversary payment under the Noden Purchase Agreement. In addition, we provided an irrevocable and unconditional guarantee to Novartis, to pay up to $14.0 million of the remaining amount of the first anniversary payment not covered by the letter of credit. We concluded that both guarantees are contingent obligations and shall be accounted for in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. Further, it was concluded that both guarantees do not meet the conditions to be accrued at September 30, 2017. On July 3, 2017, the first anniversary payment of $89.0 million was paid pursuant to the Noden Purchase Agreement and the $14.0 million guarantee expired. On July 31, 2017, the $75.0 million certificate of deposit matured, and on August 1, 2017, the letter of credit terminated.



Redwood City Lease Guarantee

In connection with the Spin-Offspin-off of Facet Biotech Corporation (“Facet”), we entered into amendments to the leases for our former facilities in Redwood City, California, under which Facet was added as a co-tenant, and a Co-Tenancy Agreement, under which Facet agreed to indemnify us for all matters related to the leases attributable to the period after the Spin-Offspin-off date. In April 2010, Abbott Laboratories acquired Facet and later renamed the entity AbbVie Biotherapeutics, Inc. (“AbbVie”). If AbbVie were to default under its lease obligations, we could be held liable by the landlord as a co-tenant and, thus, we have in substance guaranteed the payments under the lease agreements for the Redwood City facilities. As of March 31, 2020, the total lease payments for the duration of the guarantee, which runs through December 2021, are approximately $19.7 million. For additional information regarding our lease guarantee, see Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies.

Purchase Obligation

In connection with the Noden Transaction, Noden entered into an unconditional purchase obligation with Novartis to acquire all local finished goods inventory in certain countries upon transfer of the applicable marketing authorization rights in such country. The purchase is payable within 60 days after the transfer of the marketing authorization rights. The agreement does not specify quantities but details pricing terms.

In addition, NodenDAC and Novartis entered into a supply agreement pursuant to which Novartis will manufacture and supply to Noden DAC a finishedbulk tableted form of the Noden Products and the active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”). In May 2019, Noden DAC and Novartis entered into an amended supply agreement pursuant to which Novartis will supply to Noden DAC a bulk drugtableted form of the Noden Products for specified periods of time prior to the transfer of manufacturing responsibilities for the Noden Products to another manufacturer.through 2020 and API through June 2021. The supply agreement commitsmay be terminated by either party for material breach that remains uncured for a specified time period. Under the terms of the amended supply agreement, Noden DAC is committed to a minimum purchase obligationcertain quantities of bulk product and API that would amount to approximately $17.1$55.7 million and $120.7through June 2021, of which $43.1 million is committed over the next twelve and twenty-four months, respectively.which are guaranteed by the Company. While the supply agreement provides that the parties will agree to reasonable accommodations with respect to changes in firm orders, we expect that Noden expects toDAC will meet this requirement.the requirements of the supply agreement, unless otherwise negotiated.

LENSAR and Coherent, Inc. entered into an Original Equipment Manufacturer agreement pursuant to which Coherent, Inc. willvarious supply agreements for the manufacture and supply to LENSAR Staccato Lasers by December 31, 2017.of certain components. The supply agreement commits LENSAR to a minimum purchase obligation of approximately $1.1$8.0 million over the next three months.twelve months, a portion of which is guaranteed by the Company. We expect that LENSAR towill meet this requirement.

Escrow Receivable

On September 21, 2017, we entered into an agreement (the “kaléo Note Sale Agreement”) with MAM-Kangaroo Lender, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which we sold our entire interest in the notes issued by Accel 300, LLC (“Accel 300”) pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of April 1, 2014, by and between Accel 300 and U.S. Bank National Association, as the current trustee of the notes described therein (the “kaléo Note”).

Pursuant to the kaléo Note Sale Agreement, the Purchaser paid to us an amount equal to 100% of the then outstanding principal, a premium of 1% of such amount and accrued interest under the kaléo Notes, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $141.7 million.

Pursuant to the terms of the kaléo Note Sale Agreement, $1.4 million of the aggregate purchase price was deposited into an escrow account as a potential payment against certain contingencies and on the 18th month anniversary of the closing date, the escrow agent will release any funds remaining in the escrow account to us.

We do not believe that it will be subject to claims contemplated under the escrow agreement. However, in the event that such a claim is made, and if successful, the amount of such a claim up to $1.4 million would be released from the escrow, which may reduce the amount ultimately returned to us when the 18 months escrow period has ended. As of September 30, 2017, we are not aware of any claims by the Purchaser that would reduce the escrow receivable.


ITEM 3.      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, there have been no material changes in our market risk from that described in “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2019.

Changes in Internal Control Overover Financial Reporting

ThereDuring the quarter ended March 31, 2020, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ourthe Company’s internal control over financial reporting. However, on July 1, 2016, we acquired the Noden Products. In accordance with the SEC’s published guidance, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2016 did not include consideration of the internal controls of the acquired Noden Products within management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. We are in the process of integrating the acquired Noden Products into our overall internal control over financial reporting process and will incorporate the acquired Noden Products into our annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017.

In addition, on May 11, 2017, we acquired LENSAR. We are in the process of integrating the acquired LENSAR business and our management is in the process of evaluating any related changes to our internal control over financial reporting as a result of this integration. Except for any changes relating to this integration, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within an organization have been detected. We continue to improve and refine our internal controls and our compliance with existing controls is an ongoing process.

Class Action Antitrust Lawsuit

On September 18, 2019, the City of Providence filed a civil antitrust suit on behalf of a putative class of payors in the Northern District of California against Bausch Health Companies, Inc., Salix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Santarus, Inc., Assertio Therapeutics, Inc., Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and the Company, inter alia, alleging that a patent settlement agreement between Assertio and Lupin unlawfully restrained competition in an alleged market for Glumetza and its AB-rated generic equivalents sold in the United States. The plaintiffs claim that the settlement agreement violated the federal Sherman Act and various state antitrust laws. The Company was a named defendant by certain End Payor Plaintiffs (“EPPs”) due to its purchase from Assertio in 2013 of a royalty asset based on sales of Glumetza. On January 21, 2020, the EPPs voluntarily dismissed their claims against the Company, without prejudice. The Company has agreed to toll the running of statute of limitations for a limited period of time and to respond to certain discovery requests, subject to reasonable objections.

ITEM 1A.         RISK FACTORS

ThereExcept for the additional risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors included in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016,2019.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. This virus continues to spread globally and has spread to nearly every country and region in the world, including those in which we and our subsidiaries operate. The outbreak and government measures taken in response have also had a significant impact, both direct and indirect, on businesses and commerce, as worker shortages have occurred; supply chains have been disrupted; facilities and production have been suspended; and demand for certain goods and services, such as medical services and supplies, has spiked, while demand for other thangoods and services, such as previously disclosedtravel, has fallen. In response to the growing spread of COVID-19 globally, we have closed our executive offices with our employees continuing their work remotely. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread around the globe, we may experience additional disruptions that could severely impact our business and the financial condition of our company and our subsidiaries.

Additionally, as part of our monetization strategy we are exploring and evaluating potential transactions, the success or timing of which may be impacted by the growing spread of COVID-19 globally. In order to successfully monetize our assets, we must identify and complete one or more transactions with third parties. The business and assets and the availability of potential buyers of our company or certain of our assets may be significantly impacted by public health issues or pandemics, including COVID-19. For example, the shutdown orders across the various jurisdictions in which we or our subsidiaries operate and other observed effects of COVID-19 has resulted in, and may continue to cause, decreased demand, and consequently decreased revenues, from the sales of our products and the performance of elective surgeries. For example, actions taken to mitigate COVID-19 have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the geographical areas in which LENSAR operates. Cataract surgery is typically considered an elective surgery and as such the majority of LENSAR’s customers are not utilizing the LENSAR Laser Systems as they normally would at this time. Further, the uncertain severity and impact of COVID-19 could result in reduced demand for our assets by third parties or reduced values such parties may ascribe to our assets, as well as potentially affect our own ability to operate.

Even if we are able to identify potential transactions in furtherance of our monetization strategy, such buyers may be operationally constrained or unable to locate financing on attractive terms or at all, which risk may be heightened due to the uncertainty of COVID-19 and its impact. We are subject to increased risk that the growing spread of COVID-19 will affect the geographies, both in the near term and in the future, of any third parties we identify as possible counterparties to any monetization transaction. If financing is unavailable to potential buyers of our company or assets, or if potential buyers are unwilling to engage in various transactions due to the uncertainty in the market, our ability to complete such acquisition would be significantly impaired.



Any negative impact on such third parties due to any of the foregoing events could cause costly delays and have a material adverse effect on our ability to return value to our stockholders, including our ability to realize full value from a sale or other disposition of our assets as part of our monetization strategy. Any such negative impacts could also reduce the amount of cash or other property we are able to distribute to our shareholders. In addition, if members of our management team were to be affected by COVID-19, this could significantly delay or impair our ability to execute our monetization strategy. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve. The extent to which the COVID-19 may impact our business and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the pandemic, travel restrictions and social distancing in the United States and other countries, business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease.

To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our QuarterlyAnnual Report on Form 10-Q10-K for the quarter periodfiscal year ended June 30, 2017.December 31, 2019.
