License and Collaboration Agreements and Royalty Income SWK Royalty Purchase Agreement On December 17, 2020, the Company entered into a royalty purchase agreement (the “RPA”) with SWK Funding LLC (“SWK”). Under the RPA, the Company sold its right to receive royalty payments on future sales of products subject to a licensing and development agreement, as amended, with Alimera Sciences, Inc. (“Alimera”) (the “Amended Alimera Agreement”) for an upfront cash payment of $ 16.5 million. Except for the rights to the royalties, the Company retains all rights and obligations under the Amended Alimera Agreement, pursuant to which, Alimera owns worldwide rights to the Company’s Durasert technology in ILUVIEN for diabetic macular edema (“DME”) and rights for ILUVIEN (currently marketed by the Company as YUTIQ in the U.S.) for non-infectious posterior uveitis in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”). Alimera has the sole rights to utilize the intellectual property developed under the Amended Alimera Agreement. There has been no intellectual property developed jointly by Alimera and the Company as part of the Amended Alimera Agreement. The Company cannot utilize the intellectual property for the indication licensed to Alimera in order to manufacture and sell ILUVIEN. The Company’s ongoing efforts under the Amended Alimera Agreement will consist of continuing to maintain and enforce its patents as well as providing safety data and regulatory support as necessary. None of these obligations require significant efforts on the part of the Company with respect to the generation of sales in the market. The Company will only be required to expend more extensive efforts if litigation were to arise that requires the Company to protect its patents rights pursuant to the terms of the Amended Alimera Agreement. Historically, such a defense has not been required. Similarly, regulatory support and safety data is only provided on an ad-hoc basis depending on the regulatory requests, which has been minimal historically. It remains Alimera’s sole responsibility to manufacture, actively market and promote the products under the Amended Alimera Agreement to generate the sales, which ultimately generate the royalties to be paid to SWK. The Company classified the proceeds received from SWK as deferred revenue, to be recognized as revenue under the units-of-revenue method over the life of the RPA because of the Company’s limited continuing involvement in the Amended Alimera Agreement. SWK has no recourse and the Company assumes no credit risk in event that Alimera fails to make a royalty payment. The Company must only forward all material correspondence from Alimera to SWK, including royalty reports, notices and any other correspondence with respect to royalties to SWK. SWK has the right to audit and inspect the books and records pertaining to net sales and royalties under the Amended Alimera Agreement. Neither the Company nor SWK has the unilateral ability to cancel the agreement. There is no cap or limitation on the royalties to be received by SWK in the future and its return will reflect all royalties paid by Alimera. Because the transaction was structured as a non-cancellable sale, the Company does not have significant continuing involvement in the generation of the cash flows due to SWK and there is no limitation on the rates of return to SWK, the Company recorded the total proceeds of $ 16.5 million as deferred revenue under royalty sale agreement. The deferred revenue is being recognized as revenue over the life of the RPA under the "units-of-revenue" method. Under this method, amortization for a reporting period is calculated by computing a ratio of the proceeds received from SWK to the payments expected to be made by Alimera to SWK over the term of the Amended Alimera Agreement, and then applying that ratio to the period’s cash payment. The Company recognized $ 198,000 and $ 423,000 of royalty revenue related to the RPA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, in connection with the royalty payment of $ 617,000 and $ 1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 from Alimera to SWK, pursuant to the Amended Alimera Agreement. The Company recognized $ 181,000 and $ 361,000 of royalty revenue related to the RPA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, in connection with the royalty payment of $ 583,000 and $ 1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 from Alimera to SWK, pursuant to the Amended Alimera Agreement. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $ 1.1 million and $ 14.1 million as current and non-current deferred revenue recognized under royalty sale agreement, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Company classified $ 1.1 million and $ 14.6 million as current and non-current deferred revenue recognized under royalty sale agreement, respectively. Ocumension Therapeutics In November 2018, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Ocumension Therapeutics (“Ocumension”) for the development and commercialization of its three-year micro insert using the Durasert technology for the treatment of chronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye (YUTIQ in the U.S.) in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. The Company received a one-time upfront payment of $ 1.75 million from Ocumension and is eligible to receive up to (i) $ 7.25 million upon the achievement by Ocumension of certain prescribed development and regulatory milestones, and (ii) $ 3.0 million commercial sales-based milestones. In addition, the Company is entitled to receive mid-single digit sales-based royalties. Ocumension has also received a special approval by the Hainan Province People's Government to market this product for chronic, non-infectious posterior segment uveitis in the Hainan Bo Ao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone (“Hainan Pilot Zone”). In March 2019, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“2019 MOU”), pursuant to which, the Company will supply product for the clinical trials and Hainan Pilot Zone use. Paralleling to Ocumension’s normal registration process of the product with the Chinese Regulatory Authorities, the 2019 MOU modified the Company’s entitlement to the development and regulatory milestones of up to $ 7.25 million under the license agreement to product supply milestones or development milestones, whichever comes first, totaling up to $ 7.25 million. In August 2019, the Company began shipping this product to Ocumension. The Company was required to provide a fixed number of hours of technical assistance support to Ocumension at no cost. This support has been completed and no future performance obligation exists. Ocumension is responsible for all development, regulatory and commercial costs, including any additional technical assistance requested. Ocumension has a first right of negotiation for an additional exclusive license to the Company’s shorter-duration line extension candidate for this indication. In August 2019, the Company received a $ 1.0 million development milestone payment from Ocumension triggered by the approval of its Investigational New Drug (“IND”) in China for this program. The IND allows the importation of finished product into China for use in a clinical trial to support regulatory filing. In January 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Ocumension for the development and commercialization in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan of DEXYCU for the treatment of post-operative inflammation following ocular surgery. Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, the Company received upfront payments of $ 2.0 million from Ocumension in February 2020 and will be eligible to receive up to (i) $ 6.0 million upon the achievement by Ocumension of certain prescribed development and regulatory milestones, and (ii) $ 6.0 million commercial sales-based milestones. In addition, the Company is entitled to receive mid-single digit sales-based royalties. In exchange, Ocumension will receive exclusive rights to develop and commercialize DEXYCU in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, at its own cost and expense with the Company supplying product for clinical trials and commercial sale. In addition, Ocumension will receive a fixed number of hours of technical assistance support from the Company at no cost. In August 2020, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“2020 MOU”), pursuant to which, the Company received a one-time non-refundable payment of $ 9.5 million (the “Accelerated Milestone Payment”) from Ocumension as a full and final payment of the combined remaining development, regulatory and sales milestone payments under the Company’s license agreements with Ocumension for the treatment of chronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye and for the treatment of post-operative inflammation following ocular surgery, respectively. Upon payment of the Accelerated Milestone Payment, the remaining $ 11.75 million in combined remaining development and sales milestone payments under the Company’s original license agreement with Ocumension upon the achievement by Ocumension of (i) remaining development and regulatory milestones of $ 6.25 million and commercial sales-based milestones of $ 3.0 million for the development and commercialization of its three-year micro insert using the Durasert technology for the treatment of chronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye; and (ii) $ 6.0 million upon the achievement by Ocumension of certain prescribed development and regulatory milestones, and $ 6.0 million commercial sales-based milestones for the development and commercialization in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan of DEXYCU for the treatment of post-operative inflammation following ocular surgery, totaling up to $ 21.25 million, were permanently extinguished and will no longer be due and owed to the Company. In exchange, Ocumension also received exclusive rights to develop and commercialize YUTIQ and DEXYCU products under its own brand names in South Korea and other jurisdictions across Southeast Asia in Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, at its own cost and expense with the Company supplying product for clinical trials and commercial sale. The Company continues to be entitled to royalties on future product sales by Ocumension. In April 2021, Ocumension announced its filing of a New Drug Application (“NDA”) for YUTIQ under Ocumension’s distinct name to Chinese regulatory authorities and it is under review. Ocumension has been granted approval to have its NDA submission reviewed based on the U.S. NDA data and the real-world data Ocumension has collected from marketing the product in Hainan Pilot Zone. In September 2021, Ocumension announced its receipt of approval from Chinese regulatory authorities for DEXYCU under Ocumension’s distinct name to conduct a Phase 3 clinical trial in China. In June 2022, Ocumension announced its receipt of approval of the NDA from Chinese regulatory authorities for YUTIQ under Ocumension’s distinct name. Other than a fixed number of hours of technical assistance support to be provided at no cost by the Company, Ocumension is responsible for all development, regulatory and commercial costs, including any additional technical assistance requested. All technical assistance was provided during 2020. The Chief Executive Officer of Ocumension became a director of the Company starting December 31, 2020, pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company sold to Ocumension 3,010,722 shares of common stock, at which time, Ocumension became a related party of the Company. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, in addition to $ 11,000 and $ 67,000 of revenue from product sales, respectively, the Company recognized approximately $ 49,000 and $ 108,000 of license and collaboration revenue, respectively, related to additional technical assistance. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $ 91,000 and $ 360,000 , respectively, related to additional technical assistance. Exclusive License Agreement with Betta Pharmaceuticals, Co., Ltd. On May 2, 2022, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the “Betta License Agreement”) with Betta Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (“Betta”), an affiliate of Equinox Sciences, LLC (“Equinox”) (see Note 11). Under the Betta License Agreement, the Company granted to Betta an exclusive, sublicensable, royalty-bearing license under certain of the Company’s intellectual property to develop, use (but not make or have made), sell, offer for sale and import the Company’s product candidate, EYP-1901, an investigational sustained delivery intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment that combines a bioerodible formulation of the Company’s proprietary sustained-release technology with the compound vorolanib (the “Licensed Product”), in the field of ophthalmology (the “Betta Field”) in the Greater Area of China, including China, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macau Special Administrative Region, and Taiwan (the “Betta Territory”). The Company retained rights under the Company’s intellectual property to, among other things, conduct clinical trials on the Licensed Product in the Betta Field in the Betta Territory. In consideration for the rights granted by the Company, Betta agreed to pay the Company tiered, mid-to-high single-digit royalties based upon annual net sales of Licensed Products in the Betta Territory. The royalties are payable on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and region-by-region basis commencing on the first commercial sale of a Licensed Product in a region and continuing until the later of (i) the date that is twelve (12) years after first commercial sale of such Licensed Product in such region, and (ii) the first day of the month following the month in which a generic product corresponding to such Licensed Product is launched in the relevant region. The royalty rate is subject to reduction under certain circumstances, including when there is no valid claim of a licensed patent that covers a Licensed Product in a particular region. Betta is responsible for all costs relating to development, registration, manufacturing, marketing, advertising, promotional, launch and sales activities in connection with the Licensed Products in the Betta Field in the Betta Territory. Betta is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop, seek regulatory approval for, and commercialize at least one Licensed Product in the Betta Field in the Betta Territory. The Betta License Agreement also requires Betta to achieve certain diligence milestones relating to regulatory filings, patient dosing and regulatory approval by certain specified deadlines set forth in the Betta License Agreement, subject to certain exceptions and extensions as set forth in the Betta License Agreement. Betta’s development activities will be conducted pursuant to a development plan subject to periodic updates. In the event that the Company conducts a global registrational clinical trial for a Licensed Product in the Betta Field, Betta will have the right to participate in such clinical trial by including clinical trial sites in the Betta Territory in accordance with the terms of the Betta License Agreement. The Company has also agreed to provide certain technology transfer and other support services to Betta subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth in the Betta License Agreement. Research Collaborations The Company from time to time enters into agreements to evaluate the potential use of its technology systems for sustained release of third-party partner drug candidates. Consideration received is generally recognized as revenue over the term of the research collaborations. Revenue recognition for consideration, if any, related to a license option right is assessed based on the terms of any such future license agreement or is otherwise recognized at the completion of the research collaborations. No revenues were recognized under research collaborations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and $ 0 and $ 60,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. |
