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.
 
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, 2018,2019, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 15, 2019.11, 2020. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018,2019, 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.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed 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 allowanceallowances for customer credits,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 contingent consideration estimates.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 naturecomposition of the Company’sits existing investments and how they are managed,investment portfolio, the Company structured its operations in threefour segments designated as Pharmaceutical, 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 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, and training, installation, warranty and maintenance agreements.
The Company’s Income Generating Assets segment consists of revenue derived from (i) royalty rights, - at fair value, (ii) notes and other long-term receivables, (iii) equity investments and (iv) royalties from issued patents in the United States and elsewhere covering the humanization of antibodies (“Queen et al. patents”).

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’sAssets 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 accounting policieschanges 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 describedclassified as held for sale in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-Kbalance sheet. Assets classified as held for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Summarized belowsale are the accounting pronouncements adopted subsequent to December 31, 2018.

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases, that supersedes Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840, Leases. Subsequently, the FASB issuedreported at

Depreciation and amortization of assets ceases upon designation as held for sale. The Company adopted ASC 842, Leases, on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective methodassets and liabilities held for all leases not substantially completed as of the date of adoption. The reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 reflect the application of ASC 842 guidance while the reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 were prepared under the guidance of ASC 840, which is also referred to herein as “legacy GAAP” or the “previous guidance”. The cumulative impact of the adoption of ASC 842 was not material, therefore, the Company did not record any adjustments to retained earnings. As a result of adopting ASC 842, the Companysale are recorded operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $2.1 million and operating lease liabilities of $2.1 million, primarily related to corporate office leases, based on the present value of the future lease payments on the date of adoption. Changes to lessor accounting focused on conforming with certain changes made to lessee accounting and the recently adopted revenue recognition guidance. The adoption of ASC 842 did not materially change how the Company accounts for lessor arrangements.
Policy Elections and Practical Expedients Taken
For leases that commenced before the effective date of ASC 842, the Company elected the practical expedients to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases.
The Company adopted a policy of expensing short-term leases, defined as 12 months or less, as incurred.
The Company has a policy to exclude from the consideration in a lessor contract all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific lease revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from a lessee.
General
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains an embedded lease at inception. The Company has lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately.
Lessee arrangements
Lessee operating leases are included in Other assets, Accrued liabilities, and Other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company does notSheets 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 lessee financing leases.
Operating lease ROU assets representa major effect on the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease termoperations and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assetsfinancial results. The profits and liabilitieslosses are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable at lease inception. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s remaining lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis as operating expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income over the lease term.
Lessor arrangements
The Company leases medical device equipment to customers in both operating lease and sales-type lease arrangements generated from its Medical Devices segment.
For sales-type leases, the Company derecognizes the carrying amount of the underlying asset and capitalizes the net investment in the lease, which consists of the total minimum lease payments receivable from the lessee, at lease inception. The Company does not estimate an unguaranteed residual value of the equipment at lease termination because the equipment transfers to the lessee upon completion of the lease. Selling profit or loss is recognized at lease inception. Initial direct costs are recognized as an expense, unless there is no selling profit or loss. If there is no selling profit or loss, initial direct costs are deferred and recognized over the lease term. The Company recognizes interest income in Interest and other income, netpresented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income fromOperations as discontinued operations. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations Classified as Assets Held for Sale, for additional information.

Severance and retention

After the lease receivableCompany 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 lease term.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.

For operating leases, rental income is recognized onThe 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 straight-line basis overtermination of the lease term. The costparticipant’s employment with the Company either by the Company without cause or by the participant for good reason or (ii) the consummation of customer-leased equipment is recorded within Property and equipment, neta change in control (as defined in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance SheetsEquity Plan) of the Company. In addition, the post-termination exercise period for all outstanding stock options will be extended until their expiration date.

arrangement. The Company manages its risk on its investment in the equipment through pricing and the term of the leases. Lessees do not provide residual value guarantees on leased equipment. Equipment returned to the Company after the initial lease term may be leased or sold to other customers. Initial direct costs are deferred and recognized over the lease term.

Leases are generally not cancellable until after an initial term and may or may not require the customer to purchase a minimum number of procedures and consumables throughout the contract term.

For lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components where the Company is the lessor, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to the lease and non-lease components on a relative standalone selling price basis using the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct product or service in the contract. Allocation of the transaction price is determined at the inception of the lease arrangement. The Company’s leases primarily consist of leases with fixed lease payments. For those leases with variable lease payments, the variable lease payment is typically based upon use of the leased equipment or the purchase of procedure licenses and consumables used with the leased equipment. Non-lease components are accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. For additional information regarding ASC 606, see Note 2, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments, an entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019 on a prospective basis and early adoption is permitted. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the requirements of ASU No. 2017-04. The adoption did not have an effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on the adoption date and no adjustment to prior year Consolidated Financial Statements was required.

Recently IssuedAdopted 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 has an effective date of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach.

As a consequence of adopting ASU 2016-13, the Company’s accounts receivable accounting policy has been updated, as follows:

Accounts and Notes Receivable

(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 amendments inCompany adopted ASU No. 2018-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific disclosure requirement. EarlyJanuary 1, 2020. The adoption is permitted.

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. 2018-152019-12 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019,2020, with early adoption permitted. Implementation should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’sits Consolidated Financial Statements.

Nature of Goods and Services

The following is a description of principal activities - separated by reportable segments - from whichIn March 2020, the Company generatesannounced its revenue.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 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 liquidation 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 these actions and subsequent efforts to monetize the Company’s key assets, as well as the sale of these key assets representing 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 assets held for sale and discontinued operations criteria, an entity must present the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operation separately in the asset and liability sections of the balance sheet for the current and comparative reporting periods. The prior period balance sheet is reclassified for the held for sale items. For more detailed information about reportable segments, see Note 18, Segment Information.

Pharmaceuticalstatements of operations, the current and prior periods report the results of operations of the components in discontinued operations.

The Company’s Pharmaceutical segment consistsCompany determined the royalty right assets and Noden met the assets held for sale and discontinued operations criteria as of revenue derived from the branded prescription Noden Products, which were acquired by Noden Pharma DAC,March 31, 2020. The royalty right assets are a subsidiarycomponent of the Company (“Income Generating Assets segment and Noden DAC”), from Novartis in July 2016 andrepresents the authorized generic launched in March 2019.Pharmaceutical segment.

Prior to the transfer of the marketing authorization rights for the Noden Products, all of the Noden Products were distributed by Novartis and the Company presented revenue on a “net” basis and established a reserve for retroactive adjustment to the profit transfer with Novartis. Beginning on October 5, 2016, when the marketing authorization rights were transferred from Novartis to Noden Pharma USA, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Noden USA”), Noden USA began to distribute the Noden Products in the United States and started to record revenue on a “gross” basis with a reserve for allowances at such time. Consequently, all revenue for the branded prescription Noden Products sold in the United States for all periods presented herein are on a gross basis.

Novartis continued to distribute the Noden Products in all countries outside of the United States until August 31, 2017. Beginning on September 1, 2017, Noden DAC began distributing the Noden Products to select countries outside the United States. The Company presented revenue for Noden Products sold by Novartis outside of the United States on a “net” basis. As of the second quarter of 2018, Noden DAC recognized all revenue on a gross basis. Consequently, sales of branded prescription Noden Products outside the United States are presented on a gross basis in 2019 and a combination of gross and net basis in 2018, depending on the country in which the revenue was recognized and the timing of the marketing transfer from Novartis to Noden DAC.

Noden USA launched an authorized generic of Tekturna in the United States in March 2019.

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 product to the customer. The transfer occurs either upon shipment or upon receipt of the product in certain countries outside the United States after considering when the customer obtains control of the product. In addition, for some non-U.S. countries, 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 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 product returns, which are 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 coverage 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 combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time

The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjust the measure of performance and related revenue recognition.discontinued operations are as follows (in thousands):

Medical Devices

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

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 over the length of the lease in accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases, through December 31, 2018 and in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases, after January 1, 2019. For additional information regarding accounting for leases, see Note 11, 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.

3. Investment in Evofem Biosciences, Inc.

On April 10, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Evofem and two other purchasers, pursuant to which the Company purchased $60.0 million of Evofem securities in a private placement. The transaction was structured in two tranches.

The first tranche closed on April 11, 2019, pursuant to which the Company invested $30.0 million to purchase 6,666,667 shares of Evofem common stock at $4.50 per share and was also issued warrants to purchase up to 1,666,667 shares of Evofem common stock. The warrants are exercisable beginning six months after the issuance date for a period of seven years from the issuance date at an exercise price of $6.38 per share.

The second tranche closed on June 10, 2019, pursuant to which the Company invested an additional $30.0 million to purchase 6,666,667 additional shares of Evofem common stock at $4.50 per share and was also issued warrants to purchase up to an additional 1,666,667 shares of Evofem common stock with the same terms as the warrants issued in the first tranche. Following the closing of the second tranche, the Company has a right to appoint one member to Evofem’s board of directors and has a limited right to have one board observer participate in Evofem board meetings, which the Company pursued. In December 2019, the Company’s representatives resigned from these positions. Since that time, the Company has elected not to reappoint a director or board observer to the Evofem board of directors but retains the right to do so.

The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by segment and geographic location ashas registration rights on customary terms for all Evofem shares issued under the securities purchase agreement, including the shares underlying the warrants.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company owned approximately 27% of Evofem’s common stock. The Company’s investment in Evofem qualifies for equity method accounting given its percentage ownership in Evofem and the ability to exercise significant influence. The Company elected the fair value method to account for its investment in Evofem as it believes it best depicts howbetter reflects economic reality, the nature, amount, timingfinancial reporting of the investment and uncertaintythe current value of its revenuethe asset. Changes in fair value of the Evofem equity investment are presented in Non-operating income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Because the mark to market valuation occurs at the end of each quarterly reporting period, changes in fair value will vary based upon the volatility of the stock price. The Evofem equity investment is presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as an Investment in equity affiliate and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Inreflects the following table, revenue is disaggregated by segment and primary geographical market forfair value of the equity investment at the end of the reporting period.

For the three months ended March 31, 20192020, the Company had an unrealized loss of $13.8 million, of which $11.3 million was related to Evofem common stock and 2018:

December 2021 Notes Capped Call Potential Dilution

In November 2016, the Company issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal of the December 2021 Notes, which provide in certain situations for the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the December 2021 Notes into shares ofThe following table summarizes the Company’s common stock at a predefined conversion rate. For additional information on the conversion rates on the Company’s convertible debt, see Note 13, Convertible Senior Notes. In conjunction with the issuancecash and cash equivalents by significant investment category reported as cash and cash equivalents as of the December 2021 Notes, the Company entered into a capped call transaction with a hedge counterparty. The capped call transaction is 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. The Company has excluded the capped call transaction from the net 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 income per diluted share would be dilutive or anti-dilutive. For additional information regarding the capped call transaction related to the Company’s December 2021 Notes, see Note 13, Convertible Senior Notes.

Royalty Rights - At Fair Value

Assertio (Depomed) Royalty Agreement

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

The rights acquired include Assertio’s royalty and milestone payments accruing from and after October 1, 2013: (a) from Santarus, Inc. (“Santarus”), 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 approved fixed-dose combination of Invokana® (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 Assertio’s license agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim, including its approved products, Jentadueto XR®

PDL BIOPHARMA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)In 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 launched 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 would have received all royalty and milestone payments due under license agreements between Assertio and its licensees until the Company received payments equal to two times the cash payment it made to Assertio, or approximately $481.0 million, after which all net payments received by Assertio would have been shared equally between the Company and 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. TheAfter the amendment, the Company has elected to continue to electfollow the fair value option and carry the financial asset at fair value.

The Assertio 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.

During the third quarter of 2018, 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. As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s variable interest entity assessment remains unchanged.

As of December 31, 2018, in conjunction with the amendment described above, the Company was provided the power to direct the activities of Depo DR Sub, LLC and is the primary beneficiary of Depo DR Sub, LLC; therefore, Depo DR Sub, LLC is subject to consolidation by the Company. As of March 31, 2019,2020, 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 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 10% to 24%. Significant judgment is required in selecting appropriate discount rates. At March 31, 2019, an evaluation was performed to assess those rates and general market conditions potentially affecting the fair market value of the financial asset. Should these discount rates increase or decrease by 2.5%, the fair value of the asset could decrease by $22.6 million or increase by $26.8 million, respectively. A third-party expert was engaged to assist management develop its original estimate of the expected future cash flows, which was updated after the acquisition of Assertio’s reversionary interest in August 2018. 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 $6.6$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 Assertio 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 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 to enter the U.S. market. 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.

In February 2016, at the Company’s request and pursuant to the Assertio Royalty Agreement, Assertio exercised its audit right with respect to Glumetza royalties. The independent auditor engaged to perform the royalty audit completed it in July 2017, and based upon the results of the audit, Assertio, 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 (now Bausch Health), Assertio 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 Assertio $13.0 million. The full amount of the settlement payment was transferred to the Company under the terms of the Assertio Royalty Agreement in November 2017. In October 2018, PDL submitted notice of its intent to exercise its audit right under the Assertio Royalty Agreement with respect to the period beginning January 1, 2016 and ending December 31, 2018.

At September 30, 2018, 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. These data and assumptions are based on available but limited information. At March 31, 2019, 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 Bausch Health.

As of March 31, 2019,2020, 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 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.

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 milestone upon FDA approval pursuant to the terms of the Assertio 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. At year-end 2017, 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 March 31, 2019, 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 Assertio 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 December 31, 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 Assertio Royalty Agreement. Based on the FDA approval and the April 2017 launch of Synjardy XR by Boehringer Ingelheim, the Company adjusted the timing of future cash flows and discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model at December 31, 2017.

Assets/Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company remeasures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities upon the occurrence of certain events. Such assets consist of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets and the 1.7 million shares of Alphaeon Class A common stock, received in connection with the loans made to LENSAR by the Company prior to its acquisition of LENSAR. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $152.3 million for the Noden intangible assets related to the increased probability of a generic form of aliskiren being launched in the United States. As a result of this impairment charge, which was based on the estimated fair value of the assets, the remaining carrying value of these intangible assets was determined to be $40.1 million. The fair value calculation included level 3 inputs. The Company’s carrying value of the investment in1.7 million shares of Alphaeon common stock as of both March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 is $6.6 million based on an estimated per share value of $3.84, which was established by a valuation performed when the shares were acquired. The value of the Company’s investment in Alphaeon is not readily determinable as Alphaeon’s shares are not publicly traded. The Company evaluates the fair value of this investment by performing a qualitative assessment each reporting period. If the results of this qualitative assessment indicate that the fair value is less than the carrying value, the investment is written down to its fair value. There have been no such write downs since the Company acquired these shares. This investment is included in Other long-term assets. For additional information on the Alphaeon investment, see Note 7,6, Notes and Other Long-Term Receivables.

Assets classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sale. As a result of our analysis of the fair value of Noden we recorded a loss on classification as held for sale of $6.7 million of which $1.8 million relates to the estimated costs to sell Noden and $4.9 million relates to the difference in carrying value versus fair value. The fair value calculation was made using a discounted cash flow model, utilizing a discount rate of approximately 19%, and included level 3 inputs.

Wellstat Diagnostics Note Receivable and Credit Agreement and Related Litigation

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

Diagnostics were required to contribute additional capital to Wellstat Diagnostics upon the sale of an affiliate entity. The amended and restated credit agreement had an ultimate maturity date of December 31, 2021 (but has subsequently been accelerated as described below).

In June 2014, the Company received information from Wellstat Diagnostics showing that it was generally unable to pay its debts as they became due, constituting an event of default under the amended and restated credit agreement.

On August 5, 2014, the Company delivered a notice of default (the “Wellstat Diagnostics Borrower Notice”) to Wellstat Diagnostics, which accelerated all obligations under the amended and restated credit agreement and demanded immediate payment in full in an amount equal to approximately $53.9 million, (which amount, in accordance with the terms of the 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.

On July 29, 2016, the Supreme Court of New York granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment and held that the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantor defendants are liable for all “Obligations” owed by Wellstat Diagnostics to the Company. After appeal by the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantor defendants on February 14, 2017, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York reversed on procedural grounds a portion of the Memorandum of Decision granting the Company summary judgment in lieu of complaint, but affirmed the portion of the Memorandum of Decision denying the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantor defendants’ motion for summary judgment in which they sought a determination that the guarantees had been released. 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 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. On February 6, 2018, the

Supreme Court of New York issued an order from the bench which enjoins the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors from selling, encumbering, removing, transferring or altering the collateral pending the outcome of the proceedings before it. The Supreme Court of New York also issued an order precluding the Company from foreclosing on certain of the Wellstat Diagnostics

Guarantors’ collateral pending the outcome of the proceedings before it. In September of 2018, discovery in the New York action was completed. Summary judgment motions were filed by Wellstat Diagnostics and the Company in 2018.2018 and a hearing was held on May 22, 2019. On September 11, 2019, the Supreme Court of New York granted the Company’s summary judgment motion, the court holding that the guarantees executed by the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors are valid and enforceable, and that the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors are liable for the amount owed under the loan agreement. The court has ordered a damages inquest before a special referee to calculate the amount owed under the loan agreement between Wellstat Diagnostics and the Company. On September 12, 2019, the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors filed a notice of appeal in relation to the court’s decision. On September 17, 2019, the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors requested a stay of the enforcement of the New York Supreme Court’s decision pending their appeal of the decision, which was denied on November 21, 2019. A damages hearing was scheduled to begin before a judicial hearing officer on December 17, 2019. At the summary judgment motions for May 22, 2019.request of the judicial hearing officer, the parties agreed to mediate their dispute prior to the commencement of the damages hearing. As a result, no decision has been made by the hearing officer with respect to the amount of damages owed to the Company.

In an unrelated litigation, Wellstat Therapeutics filed a lawsuit against BTG International, Inc. for breach of contract (the “BTG Litigation”). In September 2017, the Delaware Chancery Court found in favor of Wellstat Therapeutics and awarded a judgment of $55.8 million in damages, plus interest. In October 2017, the Company filed a motion with the Supreme Court of New York requesting a pre-judgement attachment of the award. In June 2018, the Delaware Supreme Court largely affirmed the September 2017 decision of the Delaware Chancery Court, including the $55.8 million awarded in judgment. In August of 2018, in a letter to the Company’s counsel, Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors’ counsel confirmed that the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors are preserving the BTG Litigation judgment award proceeds consistent with the New York Court’s prior directions.

On October 22, 2015, certain of the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors filed a separate complaint against the Company in the Supreme Court of New York seeking a declaratory judgment that certain contractual arrangements entered into between the parties subsequent to Wellstat Diagnostics’ default, and which relate to a split of proceeds in the event that the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors voluntarily monetize any assets that are the Company’s collateral, is of no force or effect. This case has been joined for all purposes, including discovery and trial, and consolidated with the pending case filed by the Company. The Wellstat Diagnostic Guarantors filed a summary judgment motion with regard to this case, which was also heard by the court at the hearing on May 22, 2019. The court, in its September 11, 2019 decision, denied in its entirety the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors’ motion for summary judgment.

Effective April 1, 2014, and as a result of the event of default, the Company determined the loan to be impaired and it ceased to accrue interest revenue. At that time and as of March 31, 2019,2020, 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. There can be no assurance that an allowance on the carrying value of the notes receivable investment will not be necessary in a future period depending on future developments.

Hyperion Agreement

On January 27, 2012, the Company and Hyperion (which is also a Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantor) entered into an agreement whereby Hyperion sold to the Company the royalty streams accruing from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013 due from Showa Denko K.K. (“SDK”) related to a certain patent license agreement between Hyperion and SDK dated December 31, 2008. In exchange for the lump sum payment to Hyperion of $2.3 million, in addition to any royalties from SDK, the Company was to receive two equal payments of $1.2 million on March 5, 2013 and March 5, 2014. The first payment of $1.2 million was paid on March 5, 2013, but the second payment that was due on March 5, 2014 has not been made by Hyperion. Effective as of such date and as a result of the event of default, the Company ceased to accrue interest revenue. As of March 31, 2019,2020, the estimated fair value of the collateral was determined to be in excess of the carrying value. There can be no assurance of realizing value from such collateral in the event of the Company’s foreclosure on the collateral.

Avinger Credit and Royalty AgreementNOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)

On April 18, 2013, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Avinger, Inc. (the “Avinger Credit and Royalty Agreement”). Under the terms of the Avinger Credit and Royalty Agreement, the Company received a low, single-digit royalty on Avinger’s net revenues until April 2018. Commencing in October 2015, after Avinger repaid $21.4 million pursuant to its note payable to the Company prior to its maturity date, the royalty on Avinger’s net revenues was reduced by 50%, subject to certain minimum payments from the prepayment date until April 18, 2018. The Company accounted for the royalty rights in accordance with the fair value option. As of April 18, 2018, there were no further obligations owed to the Company.

CareView Credit Agreement

On June 26, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement with CareView, under which the Company made available to CareView up to $40.0 million in loans comprised of two tranches of $20.0 million each, subject to CareView’s attainment of specified milestones relating to the placement of CareView Systems. On October 7, 2015, the Company and CareView entered into an amendment of the credit agreement to modify certain definitions related to the first and second tranche milestones and the Company funded the first tranche of $20.0 million, net of fees, based on CareView’s attainment of the first milestone, as amended. The second $20.0 million tranche was not funded due to CareView’s failure to achieve the related funding milestones

and there is no additional funding obligation due from the Company. Outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at the rate of 13.5% per annum and are payable quarterly in arrears.

As part of the 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.

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. At March 31, 2019, the Company estimated the fair value of the warrants to be less than $0.1 million.

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 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. 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.

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 4,6, Fair Value Measurements.

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 approximately $0.1 millionuntil September 30, 2019 and $0.5 million, respectively,(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 costs associated with inventory transfers made under the Company’s third party logistic provider service arrangement. These costs have beenfurther 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 as Prepaid and other current assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets asan impairment loss of $10.8 million.

9. Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets, Net

On June 8, 2018, Noden DAC entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Anchen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its affiliates (“Anchen”) to resolve the patent litigation relating to infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,617,595 (the “‘595 Patent”) based on their submission of an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) seeking authorization from the FDA to market a generic version of aliskiren, the active ingredient in the Tekturna and Tekturna HCT drug. Under the Settlement Agreement, Anchen, the sole ANDA filer of which the Company is aware, agreed to not commercialize its generic version of aliskiren prior to March 1, 2019. Per the Settlement Agreement, Anchen may commercialize their formulation of aliskiren, but is not permitted to commercialize a copy of Tekturna.

Accordingly, management evaluated the ongoing value of the Noden DAC asset group based upon the probability of Anchen’s market entry of a generic version of aliskiren in the United States and the associated cash flows and conducted a test for impairment. Due to the increased probability of a generic version of aliskiren being launched in the United States, the Company revised its estimates of future cash flows and as a result of this analysis, determined that the sum of undiscounted cash flows was not greater than the carrying value of the assets. Therefore, the Company performed a discounted cash flow analysis to estimateestimated the fair value of the asset group in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. The cash flows used in this analysis are those expectedwarrant to be generated by market participants, discountedless than $0.1 million.

In April 2020 the Company agreed to reflect an appropriate amounta further amendment of risk,the February 2018 Modification Agreement that deferred principal repayment and interest payments until September 30, 2020, which was determined to be 21%. The Company concluded that the Noden DAC acquired product rights and customer relationship long-lived assets, with a carrying amount of $192.5 million, were no longer recoverable and wrote them down to their estimated fair value of $40.1 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $152.3 million in the second quarter of 2018. This write-down is included in “Impairment of intangible assets” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

On March 4, 2019, the Company announced the U.S. commercial launch of an authorized generic form of Tekturna, with the same drug formulation as Tekturna. The Company performed an impairment assessment of the Noden asset group at this time by estimating the undiscounted future cash flows with respect to the asset against its carrying value and concluded a further impairment was not required.

On March 22, 2019, the FDA approved Anchen’s generic form of aliskiren. The Company performed an impairment assessment of the Noden asset group at this time and concluded no further impairment was required.

Future events, such as FDA approval ofconditioned upon CareView raising additional generic forms of aliskiren, or pricing or market share pressure resultingfinancing from existing generic competition, may be further indicators of impairment which may require the Company to perform additional impairment testing.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Guarantee

As previously discussed, during the first quarter of 2020 the Board approved the Plan of Liquidation. 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 the Company for all matters related to the leases attributable to the period after the Spin-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,addition, the Company has in substance guaranteed the paymentsentered into severance agreements with its employees under the lease agreements forWind Down Retention Plan. The total amount of severance expected to be incurred during 2020 will be $13.0 million, of which $3.0 million was expensed in the Redwood City facilities. As ofthree months ended March 31, 2019,2020. The severance amount paid in the total lease payments for the duration of the guarantee, which runs through December 2021, are approximately $31.0 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
PDL BIOPHARMA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)


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 ofthree months ended March 31, 20192020 was $0.6 million. All severance costs are included in the Income Generating Assets segment, as all corporate personnel salary and December 31, 2018, relatedbenefit costs are allocated 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 and Novartis entered into a supply agreement pursuant to which Novartis will manufacture and supply to Noden a bulk tableted form of the Noden Products, and for the additional supply of active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) form, 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. Noden has placed firm orders for bulk product of $22.5 million, which will be fulfilled within the next twelve months. Under the terms of the supply agreement, Noden is committed to purchase certain minimum quantities of bulk product and API that would amount to approximately $123.6 million over the next thirty-six months if fulfilled, of which $50.0 million is committed over the next twelve months. 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 will meet the requirements of the supply agreement, unless otherwise negotiated. The commitments in the supply agreement terminate upon transfer to another manufacturer.

In addition, upon the termination of the supply agreement, which is the earlier of November 30, 2020 or upon transfer to another manufacturer of API, Noden must acquire within 60 days all remaining API inventory produced by Novartis. The supply agreement does not specify minimum quantities but details pricing terms.

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 $7.4 million over the next twenty-four months, of which $5.1 million is due in the next twelve months. LENSAR expects to meet these requirements.

Escrow Receivable

On April 1, 2014, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with Accel 300, LLC (“Accel 300”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of kaléo, Inc. (“kaléo”), pursuant to which the Company acquired $150.0 million of secured notes due 2029 (the “kaléo Note”). The kaléo Note was issued pursuant to an indenture between Accel 300 and U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee, and was secured by 20% of net sales of its first approved product, Auvi-Q® (epinephrine auto-injection, USP) (known as Allerject® in Canada) and 10% of net sales of kaléo’s second proprietary auto-injector based product, EVZIO (naloxone hydrochloride injection) (the “kaléo Revenue Interests”), and a pledge of kaléo’s equity ownership in Accel 300. On September 21, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement (the “kaléo Note Sale Agreement”) with MAMKangaroo Lender, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the kaléo Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company sold its entire interest in the kaléo Note 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. The escrow period ended on March 20, 2019 and the escrow agent released the entire $1.4 million to the Company.segment.

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. A portion

In September 2019, the Company entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements with certain holders of the proceeds from theapproximately $86.1 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding December 2021 Notes. The Company exchanged $86.1 million aggregate principal of December 2021 Notes netfor an identical principal amount of amounts used2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due December 1, 2024 (the “December 2024 Notes”), plus a cash payment of $70.00 for the capped call transaction described below, was used to extinguish $120.0 millioneach $1,000 principal amount tendered (“September Exchange Transaction”). 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.

The December 2021 Notes are convertible under any of the following circumstances:circumstances at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 1, 2021 (or at any time beginning on June 1, 2021 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity):

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
Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as described in the December 2021 Notes Indenture.

The initial conversion rate for the December 2021 Notes is 262.2951 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of December 2021 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 2021 Notes Indenture.

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

As a result, the Company separated the principal balance of the December 2021 Notes between the fair value of the debt component andwith the fair valueremainder of the common stock conversion feature.consideration being allocated to the equity component. Using an assumed borrowing rate of 9.5%, which represented 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 $4.3 million, allocated $23.8 million to additionalAdditional paid-in capital for the conversion feature and allocated $12.8 million to deferred tax liability. 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 March 31, 2019,2020, the remaining discount amortization period is 2.71.7 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”). It was determined that the repurchase of the principal amount should be accounted for as a partial extinguishment of the December 2021 Notes. As a result, a loss on extinguishment of $2.5 million was recorded at closing of the transaction.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased $5.4 million in aggregate principal amount of its December 2021 notes for $6.0 million in cash. It was determined that the repurchase of the principal amount should be accounted for as a partial extinguishment of the December 2021 Notes. As a result, a loss on extinguishment of $0.1 million was recorded at closing of the 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
PDL BIOPHARMA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)


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 separate transaction 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.

December 2024 Notes

On September 17, 2019, in connection with the September Exchange Transaction, the Company exchanged $86.1 million aggregate principal of December 2021 Notes for an identical aggregate original principal amount of December 2024 Notes, plus a cash payment of $70.00 for each $1,000 principal amount exchanged, totaling approximately $6.0 million. The December 2024 Notes are due December 1, 2024, and the Company pays interest at2.75% on the December 2024 Notes semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning December 1, 2019. The original principal of the December 2024 Notes will accrete at a rate of 2.375% per year (“Accretion Interest”) commencing September 17, 2019 through the maturity of the December 2024 Notes. The accreted principal amount of the December 2024 Notes is payable in cash upon maturity and is included in Other long-term liabilities.

Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture entered into in connection with the December 2024 Notes (the “December 2024 Notes Indenture”), holders have the option to require the Company to repurchase their December 2024 Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the accreted principal amount of such December 2024 Notes, plus accrued interest on the original principal amount thereon.

The December 2024 Notes are convertible under any of the following circumstances at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 1, 2024 (or at any time beginning on June 1, 2024 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity):
During any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter) commencing after the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019, 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 original 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;
Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events or upon a redemption of the notes, in each case as described in the December 2024 Notes Indenture; or
On or after June 1, 2024, at the option of the holder prior to the second scheduled trading day preceding December 1, 2024.

In accordance with the terms of the December 2024 Notes Indenture, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to redeem all or any portion of the December 2024 Notes that is equal to $1,000 original principal amount or an integral multiple

(Unaudited)


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 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-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 March 31, 2020, the total lease payments for the duration of the guarantee, which runs through December 2021, are approximately $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 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 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. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase Program

On September 24, 2018, the Company announced that the Board authorized the repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate value of up to $100.0 million pursuant to a share repurchase program. The repurchases under the share repurchase program were made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and were funded from the Company’s 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. The Company has repurchased 31.0 million shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of
PDL BIOPHARMA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)


$100.0 million, or an average cost of $3.22 per share, including trading commissions. This program was completed in July 2019.

On December 9, 2019, the Company announced that the Board authorized the repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and convertible notes up to an aggregate value of $200 million. On December 16, 2019, the Company announced that the Board approved a $75 million increase to the aforementioned $200 million repurchase program to acquire outstanding PDL common stock and convertible notes. Repurchases under this repurchase program will be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and funded from the Company’s working capital. The amount and timing of such repurchases will depend upon the price and availability of shares or convertible notes, general market conditions and the availability of cash. Repurchases may also be made under a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1, which would permit shares or convertible notes to be repurchased when the Company 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 Company’s new share 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. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company repurchased $44.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 2021 Convertible Notes and $74.6 million in aggregate principal amount of 2024 Convertible Notes for consideration consisting of a cash payment of $97.9 million and the issuance of 13.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased $5.4 million in aggregate principal amount of 2021 Convertible Notes and $10.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 2024 Convertible Notes for cash payments totaling $18.8 million. As of March 31, 2020 the Company has repurchased 6.3 million shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program 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.

16. Income TaxesRevenue from Contracts with Customers

Income tax expenseRevenue

Nature 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 LENSAR® Laser System, which may include equipment, PIDs or consumables, procedure licenses, training, installation, warranty and maintenance agreements.

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 Products. Noden’s revenue is included in (Loss) income from discontinued 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 product to the customer. The transfer occurs either upon shipment or upon receipt of the product 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 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 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 coverage 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.

PDL BIOPHARMA, INC.

(Unaudited)


For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if 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.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by segment and geographic location as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

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.

On September 25, 2017,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 announcedissued $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 its boardmature in December 2021 and those that mature in December 2024 provide in certain situations for the conversion of directors authorized the repurchase of issued and outstanding principal amount into shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate valueat a predefined conversion rate. In conjunction with the issuance of up to $25.0 millionthe 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 repurchase program. The repurchases under the share repurchase program were made from time to timecomputation as such securities would have an anti-dilutive effect and those securities should be considered separately rather than in the open marketaggregate in determining whether their effect on net (loss) income per diluted share would be dilutive or in privately negotiated transactionsanti-dilutive. For additional information regarding the conversion rates and were funded fromthe capped call transaction related to the Company’s working capital. All shares of common stock repurchased under this share repurchase program were retiredDecember 2021 Notes and restored to authorized but unissued shares of common stock. The Company repurchased 8.7 million shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million, or an average cost of $2.86 per share, including trading commissions.

On September 24, 2018, the Company announced that its board of directors authorized the repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate value of up to $100.0 million pursuant to a share repurchase program. Repurchases under the share repurchase program will be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and funded from the Company’s working capital. The amount and timing of such repurchases will depend upon the price and availability of shares, general market conditions and the availability of cash. Repurchases may also be made under a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company 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 this share repurchase program are expected to be retired and restored to authorized but unissued shares of common stock. The Company repurchased 13.1 million shares of its common stock under this share repurchase program during the three months ended March 31, 2019, for an aggregate purchase price of $44.4 million, or an average cost of $3.38 per share, including trading commissions. Since the inception of this share repurchase program through March 31, 2019, the Company has repurchased 21.8 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $69.9 million, or an average cost of $3.21 per share, including trading commissions. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had 400,000 shares held in treasury stock at a total cost of $1.5 million. Those shares were settled and retired on April 5, 2019.

19.21. Subsequent Events

Equity Investment in Evofem BioSciences, Inc.

On April 10, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Evofem Biosciences, Inc. (“Evofem”) and two other purchasers, pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $60 million in a private placement of Evofem securities. The transaction is structured in two tranches.

The first tranche closed on April 11, 2019, pursuant to which the Company invested $30 million to purchase 6,666,667 shares of Evofem common stock at $4.50 per share and was also issued warrants to purchase up to 1,666,667 shares of Evofem common stock exercisable for seven years beginning six months after the issuance date at an exercise price of $6.38 per share. Following the closing of the first tranche, the Company holds approximately 19% of the common stock of Evofem.

In addition, the Company has the right until June 10, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions, to purchase an additional 6,666,667 shares of Evofem common stock at $4.50 per share and warrants to purchase an additional 1,666,667 shares of Evofem common stock, exercisable for seven years beginning six months after the issuance date at an exercise price of $6.38 per share, for a total additional investment of $30 million. The second tranche will occur alongside an investment from two existing Evofem shareholders, which have the right to invest up to an additional $10 million each on the same terms as the Company. If any of the purchasers elect not to participate in the second tranche, the other purchasers have a right to purchase the non-participating purchaser’s portion. These current shareholders have also agreed to cancel all of their warrants in Evofem issued and outstanding prior to the closing of the second tranche. These investments are expected to provide funding for Evofem's pre-commercial activities for Amphora®, its investigational, non-hormonal, on-demand prescription contraceptive gel for women.

If the Company were to complete the second tranche, the Company would become one of the largest shareholders in Evofem, owning approximately 29% of the company's common stock, and would obtain the right to appoint one member to Evofem’s Board of Directors, as well as a right to appoint an additional board observer on customary terms. The closing of the second tranche and the exercise of any portion of the warrants that would increase the Company’s beneficial ownership to more than 19.99% of Evofem’s then outstanding common stock is subject to Evofem shareholder approval, as required by the applicable

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 a significant returnfaster 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 stockholders by entering into strategic transactions involving late clinical or early commercial stage pharmaceutical products and companies with attractive revenue growth potential. Our leadership team has extensive experience in acquiring, commercializing and managingassets so as to determine the life cycleappropriate time to sell each of therapeutic products domestically and internationally across a numberthe assets of indications and modalities. We intend to leverage this experience by pursuing the acquisition, growth and potential monetization of pharmaceutical products and companies.Company.

Historically, we generated a substantial portion of our revenues through the license agreements related to patents covering the humanization of antibodies, which we refer to as the 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. As a result of the nature of these investments and how they are managed,In 2019, we structured our operations in three segments designated as Pharmaceutical, Medical Devices and Income Generating Assets.

Prospectively, with our expected focus on consummating strategic transactions involving late clinical or early commercial stage pharmaceutical products or companies with attractive revenue growth potential, we anticipate that over time more of our revenues will come from our Pharmaceutical segment and, to a lesser extent, our Medical Devices segment, and less of our revenues will come from our Income Generating Assets segment.

On April 10, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Evofem, Biosciences, Inc. (“Evofem”), pursuant to which it may invest a total of up to $60we invested $60.0 million in a private placement of securities. The transaction is structured in two tranches. The first tranche comprised $30 million, which was funded on April 11, 2019. In addition, the Company has the right to invest an additional $30 million in a second tranche, on or before June 10, 2019, alongside two existing Evofem shareholders, which have the right to invest up to an additional $10 million each. These investments are expected to provideprovided funding for Evofem'sEvofem’s pre-commercial activities for AmphoraPhexxi®TM, its investigational, non-hormonal, on-demand prescription contraceptive gel for women. IfTo date, we were to completehave consummated eighteen transactions, the second tranche, we would obtain the right to appoint one member to Evofem's Boardfollowing ten of Directorswhich are active and a limited right to have one non-voting observer participate in Evofem board meetings.outstanding:

We believe this phased structure provides the Company the ability to take a significant position in a promising company at a critical stage of development where we can provide meaningful contributions through our capital and expertise. It also allows


us to continue our rigorous due diligence prior to expanding our ownership position by consummating the second tranche. Finally, it may enable us, if desired, to increase further our ownership interest in the future in line with our stated strategy for shareholder value creation.

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®Laser 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.

Cataract 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 a 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® 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 their astigmatism treatment plans for optimal overall visual outcomes.

The LENSAR® Laser System has been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for anterior capsulotomy, lens fragmentation, corneal and arcuate incisions. The LENSAR Laser with Augmented Reality™ provides an accurate 3-D model of the relevant anatomical features of each patient’s anterior segment, allowing precise laser delivery and enhanced surgical confidence in performing accurate corneal incisions, precise size, shape and location of free-floating capsulotomies, and efficient lens fragmentation for all grades of cataracts. The LENSAR® Laser System - fs 3D (LLS-fs 3D) with Streamline™ includes the integration with multiple pre-operative diagnostic devices, utilizing automated Iris Registration with automatic cyclorotation adjustment. IntelliAxis-C™ (corneal) and IntelliAxis-L™ (lens capsule) markers provide the surgeon tools for simple and precise alignment without errors associated with manually transposing the preoperative data, and marking the eye for incisions and implantation of Toric IOLs as well as treatment planning tools for precision guided laser treatments. The corneal incision-only mode, expanded remote diagnostics capabilities, additional pre-programmable preferences, thoughtful ergonomics, and up to 20 seconds faster laser treatment times with Streamline™ allow for seamless integration and maximum surgical efficiency with patient comfort.

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 could provide meaningful contributions through our capital and expertise.

Evofem is a 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. 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 company and the FDA.

Pharmaceutical

Our goal is to deliver shareholder value through the acquisition, growth and potential monetization of a portfolio of actively managed pharmaceutical assets. We are focused on investing in late clinical or early commercial stage pharmaceutical products and companies with attractive revenue growth potential. Our acquisition strategy focuses on our ability to add value to these assets by giving them access to our capital and commercialization expertise. We have a leadership team with a proven track record of consummating deals and putting businesses on the path to growth and profitability, and we have a strong, liquid balance sheet that can be deployed to finance the right transactions. Our goal is to build growing, profitable revenues from a balanced portfolio of operating companies’ cash flows and, when appropriate, to capture further market value through optimally timed exit strategies.

Noden

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”). Noden Pharma DAC and Noden Pharma USA, Inc., together, and including their respective subsidiaries represent deployed capital of $191.2 million.

Tekturna (or Rasilez outside of the United States) contains aliskiren, a direct renin inhibitor, for the treatment of hypertension. While indicated as a first line treatment, it is more commonly used as a third line treatment in those patients who are intolerant


of angiotensin-receptor blockers (“ARBs”) or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (“ACEIs”). Studies indicate that approximately 12% of hypertension patients are ARB/ACEI inhibitor-intolerant. It isintolerant. Tekturna and Rasilez are not indicated for use with ARBs and ACEIs in patients with diabetes or renal impairment and isare contraindicated for use by pregnant women. OnIn March 4, 2019, we announced the U.S. commercial launch oflaunched an authorized generic (“AG”) form of Tekturna, aliskiren hemifumarate 150 mg and 300 mg tablets with the same drug formulation as Tekturna. The AG launch is being carried outdistributed by Prasco, LLC d/b/a Prasco Laboratories.

Tekturna HCT is a combination of aliskiren and hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic, for the treatment of hypertension in patients not adequately controlled by monotherapy and as an initial therapy in patients likely to need multiple drugs to achieve their blood pressure goals. It is not indicated for use with ACEIs and ARBs in patient with diabetes or renal impairment, or for use in patients with known anuria or hypersensitivity to sulfonamide derived drugs and is contraindicated for use by pregnant women.

The Noden Products are 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 expired on January 21, 2019, and was previously extended for six months through a pediatric extension. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration (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.Nos. 8,618,172, which coversexpires on July 13, 2028 and 9,023,893, which expires March 3, 2022, which patents cover certain compositions comprising aliskiren and hydrochlorothiazide, together with


other formulation components, and will expire on July 13, 2028.components. In Europe, European patent No. 678 503B (the “’503B Patent”) expired in 2015. However, numerous Supplementary Protection Certificates (“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 agreement between Novartis European Patent Publication Number 2 305 232, which covers certain pharmaceutical compositions comprising aliskiren and Noden provides for various transition periods for development and commercialization activities relating to the Noden Products. Initially, Novartis distributed the Noden Products on behalf of Noden worldwide and Noden received a profit transfer on such sales. Generally, the profit transfer to Noden was defined as gross revenues less product cost and a low single digit percentage fee to Novartis. The profit transfer terminated upon the transfer of the marketing authorization from Novartis to NodenHCT, will expire in each country. In the United States, the duration of the profit transfer ran from July 1, 2016 through October 4, 2016. Outside the United States, the profit transfer ended in the first quarter of 2018.

Prior to the transfer of the marketing authorization, revenue was presented on a “net” basis; after the transfer of the marketing authorization, revenue is presented on a “gross” basis, meaning product costs are reported separately and there is no fee to Novartis. Except for the sales outside of the United States preceding the final profit transfer that occurred in the first quarter of 2018, revenues of the Noden Products for the periods herein are presented on a gross basis.

LENSAR

In December 2016, LENSAR filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Chapter 11 case”). With our support, LENSAR filed a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization under which LENSAR would issue 100% of its equity interests to us in exchange for the cancellation of our claims as a secured creditor in the Chapter 11 case. On May 11, 2017, pursuant to the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, most of LENSAR’s outstanding debt owed to us was converted to equity and LENSAR became our operating subsidiary. LENSAR represents deployed capital of $47.0 million.

LENSAR is a medical device company focused on the next generation femtosecond cataract laser technology for refractive cataract surgery. Femtosecond cataract surgery uses advanced laser technology as compared to conventional phacoemulsification cataract surgery which uses an ultrasonic device. Cataract surgery is the highest volume surgical procedure performed worldwide with over 27 million surgeries estimated to have been performed in 2018, the majority of which use the conventional phacoemulsification technique. 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 their astigmatism treatment plans for optimal overall visual outcomes.

The LENSAR® Laser System has been approved by the FDA for anterior capsulotomy, lens fragmentation, corneal and arcuate incisions. The LENSAR Laser with Augmented Reality™ provides an accurate 3-D model of the relevant anatomical features of each patient’s anterior segment, allowing precise laser delivery and to enhance the surgical confidence in performing accurate corneal incisions, precise size, shape and location of free-floating capsulotomies, and efficient lens fragmentation for all grades. The LENSAR® Laser System - fs 3D (LLS-fs 3D) with Streamline™ includes the integration with various pre-op diagnostic devices, automated Iris Registration with automatic cyclorotation adjustment, IntelliAxis-C™ (corneal) and IntelliAxis-L™ (lens) markers for simple alignment without errors associated with manually marking the eye, of Toric IOLs as well as treatment planning tools for precision guided laser treatments. The corneal incision-only mode, expanded remote diagnostics capabilities, additional pre-programmable preferences, thoughtful ergonomics, and up to 20 seconds faster laser treatment times with Streamline allow for seamless integration and maximum surgical efficiency.

LENSAR has developed the LENSAR®Laser System, which is the only femtosecond cataract laser built specifically for refractive cataract surgery. The LENSAR®Laser System is protected by over 60 granted patents in the United States and the rest of the world and over 45 pending patent applications in the United States and rest of the world.2021.

Income Generating Assets

We have pursued income generating assets when such assets couldcan be acquired on terms that we believed wouldbelieve allow us to increase return to our stockholders. The income generating assets typically consistedconsist of (i) notes and other long-term receivables, (ii) royalty rights and hybrid notes/royalty receivables, (iii) equity investments and (iv) royalties from the Queen et. al patents.

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

sale. We record the royalty rights at fair value using discounted cash flows related to the expected future cash flows to be received.received less estimated selling costs. 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 no longer pursue these transactions while we focus on acquiring additional pharmaceutical products or companies. At March 31, 2019,2020, we had a total of five royalty rights transactions outstanding.

Notes and Other Long-Term Receivables

We have entered into credit agreements with borrowers across the healthcare industry, under which we made 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. While we currently maintain this portfolio of notes receivable, our intention is to no longer pursue these types of transactions. At March 31, 2019,2020, we had two notesnote receivable transactions outstanding.

Equity Investments

In the past, we have received equity instruments, including shares of stock 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 maximize our return through capital appreciation and, when appropriate, to capture the value through optimally timed exit strategies. At March 31, 2020, we had one equity investment outstanding.

Royalties from Queen et al. patents and 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.

We previously entered into licensing agreements under our Queen et al. patents with numerous entities that are independently developing or have developed humanized antibodies. Under our licensing agreements, we are entitled to receive a flat-rate royalty based upon our licensees’ net sales of covered antibodies, although the royalties under these agreements have substantially ended.

Solanezumab is a Lilly-licensed humanized monoclonal antibody being tested in a study of older individuals who may be at risk of memory loss and cognitive decline due to Alzheimer’s disease. Lilly has characterized the study as an assessment of whether an anti-amyloid investigational drug in older individuals who do not yet show symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease cognitive impairment or dementia can slow memory loss and cognitive decline. The study will also test whether solanezumab treatment can delay the progression of Alzheimer’s disease related brain injury on imaging and other biomarkers. If solanezumab is approved and commercialized pursuant to this clinical trial or another, we would be entitled to receive a royalty based on a “know-how” license for technology provided in the design of this antibody. The 2% royalty on 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 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, 20182019 and in subsequent 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 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.

In February 2016,During the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, that supersedes Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840, Leases. Subsequently, the FASB issued several updates to ASU No. 2016-02, codified in ASC Topic 842 (“ASC 842”)
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the requirements of ASC 842 using the modified retrospective method for all leases not substantially completed as of the date of adoption. The reported results for the quarterthree months ended March 31, 2019 reflect2020, we reclassified our Pharmaceutical segment and the applicationroyalty 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 ASC 842 guidance while the reported resultsfollowing 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 quarter ended March 31, 2018 were prepared undercurrent and comparative reporting periods. Assets classified as held for sale are reported at the guidancelower of ASC 840, which is also referredtheir carrying value or fair value less costs to hereinsell. Depreciation and amortization of assets ceases upon designation as “legacy GAAP” or the “previous guidance”.held for sale. The adoption did not have an effectassets 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 Income. However,Operations as discontinued operations for the new standard required the Company to establish liabilitiescurrent and corresponding right-of-use assets on its Consolidated Balance Sheet for operating leases that exist as of January 1, 2019. The cumulative impact of the adoption of ASC 842 was not material, therefore, the Company did not record any adjustments to retained earnings.prior periods.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, there have not been any 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, 2018,2019, 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:

Accounts and Notes Receivable

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

As noted above, during the three months ended 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 $38.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $38.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Our total revenues increased by 1%, or $0.4 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, when compared to the same period of 2018. The increase was primarily due:

The increase in revenue fromSee Note 2, Discontinued Operations Classified as Assets Held for Sale, for additional information on our Pharmaceutical segment reflects higher netproduct 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 decrease 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. The increase in North America revenues benefited by the initial inventory stocking associated with the launch of our authorized generic in the United States on March 4, 2019.

Revenue from our Medical Devices segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $6.7 million, compared to $5.0 million, for the comparable period of the prior year, representing an increase of 35%. Revenue from LENSAR product sales include LENSAR® Laser Systems, disposable consumables, procedures, training, installation, warranty and maintenance


services. The increase in revenue from our Medical Devices segment reflects higher net revenues in both North America and the rest of the world.

Revenue from our Income Generating Assets segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $12.2 million, compared to $15.2 million, for the comparable period of the prior year, representing a decrease of 20%. The decrease was primarily due:
a decrease in revenue and the Queen et al. patents of $2.8 million,
a decrease in interest revenue of $0.7 million from our CareView note receivable, and
a decrease in license and other revenue of $0.6 million resulting primarily from the milestone received in the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 with no such revenue recognized in the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, partially offset by

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

Total operating expenses were $28.4$37.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, compared with $34.2$14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019. Our operating expenses decreased 17%increased 154%, or $5.8$23.0 million, for the three month period ended March 31, 2019,2020, when compared to the three-monththree month period ended March 31, 2018.2019. The decreaseincrease was primarily a result of:of provisions 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 decreaselarge extent on our ability to retain the necessary expertise to effectively transact with respect to our assets. 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 amortization expense for the Noden intangible assets as a resultEquity Plan) of the impairment recordedCompany. In addition, the post-termination exercise period for these intangible assets inall outstanding stock options will be extended until their expiration date. In the secondfirst quarter of 2018,

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

Non-operating expense, net, increased for the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to:
the reduction in interest expense after the February 2018 Notes were repaid, and
an increase in interest income from investments2020, as compared to the prior year comparablesame 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 gain on available-for-sale investments recorded in the three-month period endedquarter at $5.32 per share as of March 31, 20182020. We acquired our shares of common stock for which no such gain was recognized in the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.$4.50 per share and were also issued warrants to purchase additional shares of Evofem.

Income Taxes

Income tax expensebenefit from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, was $2.8$14.5 million and $1.0$0.8 million, respectively, which resulted primarily from applyinganticipated use of Net Operating Loss carrybacks as allowed by the federal statutory income tax rate to income before income taxes.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, and non-deductible executive compensation lessand 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, 20192020 and 2018.2019.

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.

Revenue from our Pharmaceutical segment for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $15.0 million, a decrease of 25%, compared to the same period 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 $9.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to cash flows of $12.6 million and a net change in fair value of $12.3 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2019.

During the three months ended March 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 Noden and $4.9 million represents the fair value adjustment to Noden upon classification as held for sale.

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 revenuescash generated from pharmaceutical and medical device product sales. We currently have 19 full-time employees at PDL managingplan to continue to finance our intellectual property,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 asset acquisitions, operationsstrategy. In December 2019, we disclosed that we planned to halt the execution of our growth strategy, cease making additional strategic transactions and other corporate activities as well as providing for certain essential reportinginvestments 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 functionsanalyzed, 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 public company.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 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 18 full-time employees atanalyzed, 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 we are cognizant that an accelerated timeline may provide greater and faster returns to our operating subsidiary, Noden, who manage Noden’sstockholders, 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 our assets, including the key assets, and therefore the timing of the Dissolution, 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 assets in our portfolio with the intention of managing the successful wind down of our business and operations, and 73 full time employees atdistributing the remaining net proceeds to our operating subsidiary, LENSAR, who manage the medical device business and operations.stockholders.

Our future capital requirements are difficult to forecast and will depend upon many factors, including our ability to identify and acquire pharmaceutical products or companies, the type of distributions we make, the amount of net cash proceeds we receive, after transaction costs, and timingthe time it takes to monetize our assets. Our future capital requirements will also depend on the amount of future commercialization activities, including product manufacturing, marketing, salescommon stock and distribution, the resourcesconvertible notes we devoterepurchase under our repurchase program, both of which we expect to developing and supportingpursue as part of our products and other factors. Additionally, we will continue to evaluate possible acquisitions of new pharmaceutical products or companies, which may require the use of cash or additional financing.monetization strategy.

The general cash needs of our Pharmaceutical, Medical Devices, Strategic Positions, Pharmaceutical and Income Generating Assets segments can vary significantly. In our Pharmaceutical segment, cash needs tend to be driven primarily by material purchases and anticipated near-term capital


expenditures. In our Medical Devices segment, the primary factor determining cash needs is the funding of our operations, which we expect to continue to expand as the business grows, and enhancing our product offerings. 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 operating a publicly traded company, as well as the funding of potential repurchases of our common stock.stock and convertible notes.

We hadThe current cash and cash equivalents in the aggregate of $366.3 million and $394.6 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, representing a decrease of $28.3 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to:

the repurchase of common stockneeds for $44.3 million, partially offset by
proceeds from royalty right payments of $12.6 million and
cash flows from operating activities of $4.5 millionour Strategic Positions segment are insignificant.

On September 24, 2018,December 9, 2019, we announced that our board of directorsBoard authorized the repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock havingand convertible notes up to an aggregate value of up to $100.0$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 this sharethe new repurchase program will be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and funded from our working capital. The amount and timing of such repurchases will 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 Rule 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 this shareour repurchase program are expected to be retired and restored to authorized but unissued shares of common stock. The CompanyAll convertible notes repurchased 13.1under the program will be retired.

As of March 31, 2020, we had 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 program directly from our capped call counterparty. We repurchased 6.3 million shares of its common stock under this share repurchase program during the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, for an aggregate purchase price of $44.4$20.3 million, or an average cost of $3.38$3.20 per share, including trading commissions. Since the inception of this shareThis repurchase program through March 31, 2019 the Company has repurchased 21.8 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $69.9 million, or an average cost of $3.21 per share, including trading commissions. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

Our debt service obligations consist of interest payments and repayment of the remaining amount of our December 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 31, 2019, respectively, representing a decrease of $43.5 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to:
the repurchase of common stock for $19.2 million,
the net cash used for the repurchase of our convertible notes of $18.0 million, and
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 pharmaceutical products, medical devices and/or income generating assets,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.until all net proceeds are distributed to our stockholders. Our continued success is dependent on our ability to acquire new pharmaceutical products or companies, and the timing of these transactions,execute on our planned strategy to monetize our assets, in order to provide recurring cash flows going forward that supportreturn capital to our business model,stockholders and service our remaining debt.

We continuously evaluate alternatives to create value forIn addition, we have cash and cash equivalents at our stockholders, including, for example, by investing in late clinical or early commercial stage products or companies with attractive revenue growth potential, selling certain assets through optimally timed exit strategies, buying back our convertible notes, repurchasing our common stock or potentially selling our company.

We may consider additional debt or equity financings to support growth if cash flows from our existing business are notPharmaceutical segment of $21.3 million and $24.5 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which we believe is sufficient to fund future pharmaceutical product or company acquisitions.operations and meet our contractual inventory commitment for the foreseeable future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2019,2020, 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 March 31, 2019,2020, our outstanding notes consisted of our December 2021 Notes and December 2024 Notes, which in the aggregate totaled $150.0$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 December 2021 Notes and December 2024 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, including no generic entrants in the market prior to January 1, 2020 and the attainment of certain sales thresholds pertaining to the products we purchased from Novartis. As of December 31, 2018, we eliminated our accrual for these milestone payments. Given the launch of a generic form of aliskiren in the second quarter of 2019, which was anticipated prior to filing our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, we do not believe any of these milestone payments will be made.hand.

Guarantees

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, the Companywe could be held liable by the landlord as a co-tenant and, thus, the Company haswe have in substance guaranteed the payments under the lease agreements for the Redwood City facilities. As of March 31, 2019,2020, the total lease payments for the duration of the guarantee, which runs through December 2021, are approximately $31.0$19.7 million. For additional information regarding the Company’sour lease guarantee, see Note 12,13, Commitments and Contingencies.

Purchase Obligation

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 for the additional supply of 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 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 may be terminated by either party for material breach that remains uncured for a specified time period. Noden has placed firm orders for bulk product of $22.5 million, which will be fulfilled within the next twelve months.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.           LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The information set forth in Note 12,13, Commitments and Contingencies, to our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference herein.

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, 2018.2019.

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 goods and services, such as travel, 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
