Nature of Business	1. Nature of Business ​ Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Ironwood” or the “Company”) is a gastrointestinal (“GI”) healthcare company dedicated to advancing the treatment of GI diseases and redefining the standard of care for millions of GI patients. The Company is focused on the development and commercialization of innovative GI product opportunities in areas of significant unmet need, leveraging its demonstrated expertise and capabilities in GI diseases. ​ LINZESS ® ® to adult men and women suffering from IBS-C or CIC in Canada, and to adult men and women suffering from IBS-C in certain European countries. ​ The Company has strategic partnerships with leading pharmaceutical companies to support the development and commercialization of linaclotide throughout the world. The Company and its partner, AbbVie Inc. (together with its affiliates, “AbbVie”) (successor to Allergan plc (together with its affiliates) (“Allergan”)), began commercializing LINZESS in the U.S. in December 2012. AbbVie AbbVie AbbVie AbbVie AbbVie AbbVie AbbVie AbbVie ​ Astellas Pharma Inc. (“Astellas”), the Company’s partner in Japan, has an exclusive license to develop and commercialize linaclotide in Japan. In March 2017, Astellas began commercializing LINZESS for the treatment of adults with IBS-C in Japan, and in September 2018, Astellas began commercializing LINZESS for the treatment of adults with chronic constipation in Japan. In August 2019, the Company amended and restated its license agreement with Astellas. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company is no longer responsible for the supply of linaclotide active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) to Astellas (Note 4). ​ In October 2012, the Company and AstraZeneca AB (together with its affiliates) (“AstraZeneca”) entered into a collaboration agreement to co-develop and co-commercialize linaclotide in China (including Hong Kong and Macau) (the “AstraZeneca License Territory”). In September 2019, the Company amended and restated its existing collaboration agreement with AstraZeneca. As of September 16, 2019, AstraZeneca obtained the exclusive right to develop, manufacture, and commercialize products containing linaclotide in the AstraZeneca License Territory (Note 4). In November 2019, AstraZeneca began commercializing LINZESS for the treatment of adults with IBS-C in China. ​ The Company and AbbVie are exploring ways to enhance the clinical profile of LINZESS by studying linaclotide in additional indications, populations and formulations to assess its potential to treat various conditions. In June 2019, the Company announced positive topline data from its Phase IIIb trial demonstrating the efficacy and safety of LINZESS 290 mcg on the overall abdominal symptoms of bloating, pain and discomfort, in adult patients with IBS-C. In September 2020, based on the Phase IIIb data, the U.S. FDA approved the Company’s Supplemental New Drug Application to include a more comprehensive description of the effects of LINZESS in its approved label. ​ The Company was developing IW-3718, a gastric retentive formulation of a bile acid sequestrant, in a Phase III program for the potential treatment of refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (“refractory GERD”). On September 29, 2020, the Company announced that one of its two identical Phase III trials evaluating IW-3718 in refractory GERD did not meet the pre-specified criteria associated with a planned early efficacy assessment. Following the assessment from an independent data monitoring committee, the Company unblinded the data and confirmed that IW-3718-302 did not meet the criteria, including the study’s primary endpoint of achieving a statistically significant improvement in heartburn severity. Based on these findings, the Company is discontinuing development of IW-3718. In connection with this decision, the Company intends to reduce its workforce by approximately 100 full-time employees. This workforce reduction is expected to affect both field-based and home-office employees, including the relevant general and administrative support functions. The Company expects to substantially complete the reduction in its workforce in the fourth quarter of 2020. ​ The Company and AbbVie ​ Additionally, the Company periodically enters into agreements to bolster its salesforce productivity. In August 2019, the Company entered into a disease education and promotional agreement with Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Alnylam”) for Alnylam’s GIVLAARI ® ​ The agreements described above, as well as other of the Company’s agreements, are more fully described in Note 4, Collaboration, License, Promotion and Other Commercial Agreements ​ On April 1, 2019, Ironwood completed the separation (the “Separation”) of its soluble guanylate cyclase (“sGC”) business, and certain other assets and liabilities, into Cyclerion Therapeutics, Inc. (“Cyclerion”). The Separation was effected by means of a distribution of all of the outstanding shares of common stock, with no par value, of Cyclerion through a dividend of all outstanding shares of Cyclerion’s common stock, to Ironwood’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 19, 2019 (Note 2). ​ In August 2019, the Company issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Convertible Notes”) and $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Convertible Notes”). The Company received net proceeds of approximately $391.0 million from the sale of the 2024 Convertible Notes and the 2026 Convertible Notes, after deducting fees and expenses of approximately $9.0 million (Note 8). The proceeds from the issuance of the 2024 Convertible Notes and the 2026 Convertible Notes were used in August 2019 to pay the cost of associated capped call transactions (the “Capped Calls”) and to repurchase $215.0 million aggregate principal amount of the existing 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Convertible Notes”) and in September 2019 to redeem all of the outstanding principal balance of the 8.375% Notes due 2026. ​ Basis of Presentation ​ The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Additionally, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2020 (the “2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). ​ The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2020, and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, its statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other subsequent interim period. ​ The Company has presented its sGC business as discontinued operations in its condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented (Note 2). For periods following the Separation, the Company continues to report financial results under one business segment. ​ Principles of Consolidation ​ The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ironwood and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of September 30, 2020, Ironwood Pharmaceuticals Securities Corporation and Ironwood Pharmaceuticals GmbH. Cyclerion was a wholly-owned subsidiary until it became an independent, publicly-traded company on April 1, 2019. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. ​ Use of Estimates ​ The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. On an ongoing basis, the Company’s management evaluates its estimates, judgments and methodologies. Significant estimates and assumptions in the condensed consolidated financial statements include those related to revenue recognition; accounts receivable; inventory valuation and related reserves; useful lives of long-lived assets; impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill; valuation procedures for right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities; valuation procedures for the issuance and repurchase of convertible notes; losses related to discontinued operations; fair value of derivatives; balance sheet classification of convertible notes; income taxes, including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets; research and development expenses; contingencies and share-based compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known. ​ Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ​ The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ​ New Accounting Pronouncements ​ From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.

Cyclerion Separation	2. Cyclerion Separation ​ On April 1, 2019, Ironwood completed the Separation of Cyclerion. The Separation was effected by means of a distribution of all of the outstanding shares of common stock, with no par value, of Cyclerion through a dividend of Cyclerion’s common stock, to Ironwood’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 19, 2019. Prior to the Separation on April 1, 2019, Cyclerion was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On March 30, 2019, the Company entered into certain agreements with Cyclerion relating to the Separation, including a separation agreement, a tax matters agreement, and an employee matters agreement. ​ Agreements with Cyclerion ​ The separation agreement with Cyclerion, dated as of March 30, 2019, sets forth, among other things, the Company’s agreements with Cyclerion regarding the principal actions to be taken in connection with the Separation, including the dividend, which was effective as of April 1, 2019. The separation agreement identifies assets transferred, liabilities assumed by and contracts assigned to each of Cyclerion and Ironwood as part of the Separation, and provides for when and how these transfers, assumptions and assignments occur. The purpose of the separation agreement was to provide Cyclerion and Ironwood with assets to operate their respective businesses and retain or assume liabilities related to those assets. ​ The transfer of assets and liabilities to Cyclerion was effected through a contribution in accordance with the separation agreement as summarized below (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of April 1, 2019 ​ Assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ Prepaid expenses and other current assets ​ $ 1,169 ​ Property and equipment, net ​ ​ 10,241 ​ Other assets ​ ​ 21 ​ ​ ​ $ 11,431 ​ Liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ Accrued research and development costs ​ $ 5,673 ​ Accrued expenses and other current liabilities ​ ​ 3,149 ​ ​ ​ $ 8,822 ​ Net Assets Transferred to Cyclerion ​ $ 2,609 ​ ​ In addition, the Company received approximately $1.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 associated with tenant improvement reimbursement provisions related to the Cyclerion lease in accordance with the separation agreement. ​ The tax matters agreement, dated as of March 30, 2019, governs each party’s rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to taxes, including taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the Separation to qualify as tax-free. In general, if the parties incur tax liabilities in the event that the Separation is not tax-free, each party is expected to be responsible for any taxes imposed on Ironwood or Cyclerion that arise from the failure of the Separation to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) and certain other relevant provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to the extent that the failure to so qualify is attributable to an acquisition of stock or assets of, or certain actions, omissions or failures to act of, such party. If both Ironwood and Cyclerion are responsible for such failure, liability will be shared according to relative fault. U.S. tax otherwise resulting from the failure of the Separation to qualify as a transaction that is tax-free generally will be the responsibility of Ironwood. Each party otherwise agreed to indemnify the other party from and against any liability for taxes allocated to such party under the tax matters agreement and any taxes resulting from breach of any such party’s covenants under the tax matters agreement, the separation agreement, or any ancillary agreement entered into in connection with the Separation. Cyclerion agreed to certain covenants that contain restrictions intended to preserve the tax-free status of the distribution and certain related transactions. ​ The employee matters agreement, dated as of March 30, 2019, allocates assets, liabilities and responsibilities relating to the employment, compensation, and employee benefits of Ironwood and Cyclerion employees, and other related matters in connection with the Separation, including the treatment of outstanding Ironwood incentive equity awards. Pursuant to the employee matters agreement, the outstanding Ironwood equity awards held by Cyclerion and Ironwood employees were adjusted in connection with the Separation, with the intent to maintain, immediately following the Separation, the economic value of the awards. ​ Additionally, the Company entered into two transition services agreements and a development agreement with Cyclerion. ​ Pursuant to the transition service agreements, the Company was obligated to provide and was entitled to receive certain transition services related to corporate functions, such as finance, procurement, facilities and development. Services provided by the Company to Cyclerion were to continue for an initial term of one ​ Pursuant to the development agreement, Cyclerion is obligated to provide the Company with certain research and development services with respect to certain of Ironwood’s products and product candidates, including MD-7246 and IW-3718. Such research and development activities are governed by a joint steering committee comprised of representatives from both Cyclerion and Ironwood. Services received are paid at a mutually agreed upon rate. The Company recorded approximately $0.4 million and approximately $2.2 million in research and development expenses under the development agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Company recorded approximately $1.4 million and approximately $3.0 million in research and development expenses under the development agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. ​ Discontinued Operations ​ Upon Separation, the Company determined its sGC business qualified for discontinued operations accounting treatment in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-20, Discontinued Operations ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Nine months ended ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, ​ ​ ​ ​ 2019 Costs and expenses: ​ ​ ​ ​ Research and development ​ ​ 21,792 ​ Selling, general and administrative ​ ​ 15,646 ​ Net loss from discontinued operations ​ ​ 37,438 ​ ​ There were no assets or liabilities related to discontinued operations as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019, as all balances were transferred to Cyclerion upon Separation.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share	3. Net Income (Loss) Per Share ​ Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. ​ In June 2015, in connection with the issuance of the 2022 Convertible Notes (Note 8), the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions (“Convertible Note Hedges”). The Convertible Note Hedges are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s Class A common stockholders upon a conversion of the 2022 Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2022 Convertible Notes in the event that the market price per share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, as measured under the terms of the Convertible Note Hedges, is greater than the conversion price of the 2022 Convertible Notes. The Convertible Note Hedges are not considered for purposes of calculating the number of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as their effect would be antidilutive. ​ Concurrently with entering into the Convertible Note Hedges, the Company also sold note hedge warrants (“Note Hedge Warrants”) to the Convertible Note Hedge counterparties to acquire shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments (Note 8). The Note Hedge Warrants could have a dilutive effect on the Company’s Class A Common Stock to the extent that the market price per share of the Class A Common Stock exceeds the applicable strike price of such warrants. The Note Hedge Warrants are not considered for purposes of calculating the number of diluted weighted averages shares outstanding, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. ​ In August 2019, in connection with the issuance of the 2024 Convertible Notes and the 2026 Convertible Notes, the Company entered into the Capped Calls. The Capped Calls are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s Class A common stockholders upon a conversion of the 2024 Convertible Notes or the 2026 Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments that the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2024 Convertible Notes or 2026 Convertible Notes in the event that the market price per share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Calls, is greater than the conversion price of the 2024 Convertible Notes or the 2026 Convertible Notes. The Capped Calls are not considered for purposes of calculating the number of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. ​ As applicable, the following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, when their effect would be anti-dilutive (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ ​ September 30, ​ ​ 2020 2019 Options to purchase Class A Common Stock ​ 14,205 17,889 Shares subject to repurchase 174 182 Time-based restricted stock units ​ 4,940 ​ 2,838 ​ Performance-based restricted stock units ​ 586 ​ — ​ Shares subject to issuance under Employee Stock Purchase Plan ​ 68 ​ 67 ​ Note Hedge Warrants ​ 8,318 ​ 8,318 ​ 2022 Convertible Notes ​ 8,318 ​ 8,318 ​ 2024 Convertible Notes ​ 14,934 ​ 14,934 ​ 2026 Convertible Notes ​ 14,934 ​ 14,934 ​ ​ 66,477 67,480 ​

At September 30, 2020, $205.0 million in license fees and all six development milestone payments had been received by the Company, as well as a $25.0 million equity investment in the Company’s capital stock. The Company can also achieve up to $100.0 million in a sales-related milestone if certain conditions are met, which will be recognized as collaborative arrangements revenue when it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue would not occur and the associated constraints have been lifted. ​ During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred approximately $4.0 million and approximately $16.8 million, respectively, in total research and development expenses under the linaclotide collaboration for North America. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred approximately $9.1 million and approximately $28.7 million, respectively, in total research and development expenses under the linaclotide collaboration for North America. As a result of the research and development cost-sharing provisions of the linaclotide collaboration for North America, the Company incurred approximately $1.6 million and approximately $2.9 million in research and development costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and offset approximately $0.9 million and approximately $6.5 million in incremental research and development costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, to reflect the obligations of each party under the collaboration to bear half of the development costs incurred. ​ The Company and AbbVie AbbVie ​ The Company evaluated its collaboration arrangement for North America with AbbVie Revenue from Contracts with Customers AbbVie AbbVie Under the Company’s collaboration agreement with AbbVie AbbVie AbbVie AbbVie AbbVie AbbVie ​ The Company recognized collaborative arrangements revenue from the AbbVie ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ ​ September 30, ​ September 30, ​ ​ 2020 2019 2020 2019 Collaborative arrangements revenue related to sales of LINZESS in the U.S. ​ $ 100,232 ​ $ 84,565 ​ $ 257,877 ​ $ 223,831 ​ Royalty revenue ​ 721 ​ 542 ​ 1,694 ​ 1,559 ​ Total collaborative arrangements revenue ​ $ 100,953 ​ $ 85,107 ​ $ 259,571 ​ $ 225,390 ​ ​ The collaborative arrangements revenue recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 primarily represents the Company’s share of the net profits and net losses on the sale of LINZESS in the U.S. ​ The following table presents selling, general and administrative costs related to the sale of LINZESS in the U.S. in accordance with the cost-sharing arrangement with AbbVie for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ ​ September 30, ​ September 30, ​ ​ 2020 2019 2020 2019 Selling, general and administrative costs incurred by the Company (1) ​ $ 6,140 ​ $ 9,129 ​ $ 18,750 ​ $ 29,764 ​ (1) Excludes an insignificant amount and approximately $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and excludes approximately $0.7 million and approximately $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, related to patent prosecution and patent litigation costs recognized in connection with the collaboration agreement with AbbVie for North America. ​ ​ License Agreement with AbbVie (All countries other than the countries and territories of North America, China, (including Hong Kong and Macau), and Japan) ​ In April 2009, the Company entered into a license agreement with Almirall, S.A. (“Almirall”) to develop and commercialize linaclotide in Europe (including the Commonwealth of Independent States and Turkey) for the treatment of IBS-C, CIC and other GI conditions (the “European License Agreement”). In accordance with the European License Agreement, the Company granted Almirall a right to access its U.S. Phase III clinical trial data for the purposes of supporting European regulatory approval. In October 2015, Almirall transferred its exclusive license to develop and commercialize linaclotide in Europe to AbbVie. ​ Additionally, in October 2015, the Company and AbbVie AbbVie AbbVie ​ In January 2017, the Company and AbbVie On a country-by-country and product-by-product basis in such additional territory, AbbVie In evaluating the terms of the European License Agreement and the 2017 Amendment under ASC 606, the Company determined that there are no remaining performance obligations. However, the Company continues to be eligible to receive consideration in the form of commercial launch milestones, sales-based milestones, and royalties. The commercial launch milestones, sales-based milestones and royalties under the European License Agreement and the 2017 Amendment relate predominantly to the license granted to AbbVie The Company recognized approximately $0.5 million and approximately $1.6 million of royalty revenue from the 2017 Amendment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Company recognized approximately $0.5 million and approximately $1.2 million of royalty revenue from the 2017 Amendment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. ​ License Agreement for Japan with Astellas ​ In November 2009, the Company entered into a license agreement with Astellas, as amended, to develop and commercialize linaclotide for the treatment of IBS-C, CIC and other GI conditions in Japan (the “2009 License Agreement with Astellas”). Astellas is responsible for all activities relating to development, regulatory approval and commercialization in Japan as well as funding the associated costs and the Company was required to participate on a joint development committee over linaclotide’s development period. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company and Astellas entered into a commercial API supply agreement (the “Astellas Commercial Supply Agreement”). Pursuant to the Astellas Commercial Supply Agreement, the Company sells linaclotide API supply to Astellas at a contractually defined rate and recognizes related revenue as sale of API. Under the 2009 License Agreement with Astellas, the Company received royalties which escalated based on sales volume, beginning in the low-twenties percent, less the transfer price paid for the API included in the product sold and other contractual deductions. Under the 2009 License Agreement with Astellas, the Company received an up-front licensing fee of $30.0 million and three development milestone payments that totaled $45.0 million, which were recognized as revenue prior to the adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018. ​ The Company evaluated the terms of the 2009 License Agreement with Astellas and determined that there were no remaining performance obligations as of the adoption of ASC 606. Additionally, under the terms of the Astellas Commercial Supply Agreement, the Company determined it had an ongoing performance obligation to supply API. ​ During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized no revenue and approximately $27.5 million, respectively, from the sale of API to Astellas under the 2009 License Agreement with Astellas and the Astellas Commercial Supply Agreement. The royalties on sales of LINZESS in Japan did not exceed the transfer price of API sold and other contractual deductions during each of the periods presented. In August 2019, the Company and Astellas amended and restated the 2009 License Agreement with Astellas (the “Amended Astellas License Agreement”). This amendment was a modification to the 2009 License Agreement with Astellas and was accounted for as a new and separate contract. Under the terms of the Amended Astellas License Agreement, the Company will no longer be responsible for the supply of linaclotide API to Astellas, and Astellas assumed responsibility for its own supply of linaclotide API in Japan beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020. ​ In connection with the execution of the Amended Astellas License Agreement, Astellas paid the Company a non-refundable upfront payment of $10.0 million in August 2019. Further, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, Astellas, in lieu of the royalty payment terms set forth in the 2009 License Agreement with Astellas, is required to pay royalties to the Company at rates beginning in the mid-single digit percent and escalating to low-double-digit percent, based on aggregate annual net sales in Japan of products containing linaclotide API. These royalty payments will be subject to reduction following the expiration of certain licensed patents and the occurrence of generic competition in Japan. The Company continued to supply linaclotide API for Japan during 2019 at a contractually defined rate. Additionally, Astellas reimbursed the Company for the Company’s performance of adverse event reporting services at a fixed monthly rate until such services were terminated in February 2020. ​ The Company identified the following performance obligations under the Amended Astellas License Agreement: ● delivery of the expanded license of intellectual property, including the applicable manufacturing know-how; ● obligation to supply linaclotide API for 2019; and ● adverse event reporting services. ​ The Company allocated the $10.0 million upfront payment to the delivery of the expanded license of intellectual property and recognized it as collaborative arrangements revenue at contract inception. The Company allocated the approximately $20.4 million in remaining purchase orders for API to the obligation to supply linaclotide API to Astellas for 2019. Consideration for the supply of linaclotide API is recognized over the performance period as linaclotide API is shipped to Astellas using an output method. Consideration allocated to the adverse event reporting services is recognized as such services are provided over the performance period based on the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice using an output method. ​ Royalties on sales of LINZESS in Japan relate predominantly to the license granted to Astellas. Accordingly, the Company applies the sales-based royalty exception and records royalties on sales of LINZESS in Japan in the period earned based on royalty reports from its partner, if available, or the projected sales and historical trends. ​ The Company recognized approximately $0.5 million and approximately $1.5 million in collaborative arrangements revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, under the Amended Astellas License Agreement, of which approximately $0.5 million and approximately $1.4 million related to royalties, respectively. The Company recognized $10.0 million in collaborative arrangements revenue during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the upfront fee associated with the execution of the Amended Astellas License Agreement. The Company recognized an insignificant amount of collaborative arrangements revenue related to adverse event reporting services in each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. ​ Collaboration Agreement for China (including Hong Kong and Macau) with AstraZeneca ​ In October 2012, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with AstraZeneca to co-develop and co-commercialize linaclotide in the AstraZeneca License Territory (the “AstraZeneca Collaboration Agreement”). The collaboration provided AstraZeneca with an exclusive nontransferable license to exploit the underlying technology in the AstraZeneca License Territory. The parties shared responsibility for continued development and commercialization of linaclotide under a joint development plan and a joint commercialization plan, respectively, with AstraZeneca having primary responsibility for the local operational execution. In September 2019, the Company and AstraZeneca entered into an amendment and restatement of the AstraZeneca Collaboration Agreement (the “Amended AstraZeneca Agreement”) under which AstraZeneca obtained the exclusive right to develop, manufacture and commercialize products containing linaclotide in the AstraZeneca License Territory (the “AstraZeneca License”). ​ Prior to the execution of the Amended AstraZeneca Agreement, the Company identified the following performance obligations under the AstraZeneca Collaboration Agreement: ● research, development and regulatory services pursuant to the development plan (“R&D Services”); ● Joint Development Committee (“JDC”) services; ● obligation to supply clinical trial material; and ● Joint Commercialization Committee services. Under the original AstraZeneca Collaboration Agreement, the Company shared development costs with AstraZeneca, with AstraZeneca incurring 55% of the net losses from the development and commercialization of linaclotide in the AstraZeneca License Territory. Payments from AstraZeneca with respect to both research and development and selling, general and administrative costs incurred by the Company prior to the commercialization of linaclotide in the AstraZeneca License Territory were recorded as a reduction in expense. Development costs incurred by the Company that pertained to the joint development plan and subsequent amendments to the joint development plan, as approved by the JDC, were recorded as research and development expense as incurred. Payments to AstraZeneca were recorded as incremental research and development expense. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred no costs and offset an insignificant amount of costs related to R&D Services and JDC services, respectively, under the AstraZeneca Collaboration Agreement. During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized an insignificant amount of revenue related to the sale of linaclotide drug product and API under the AstraZeneca Collaboration Agreement. Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $0.7 million and approximately $1.2 million in costs related to pre-launch commercial services and supply chain services during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. ​ Under the Amended AstraZeneca Agreement, the Company will receive non-contingent payments totaling $35.0 million in three installments through 2024. In addition, AstraZeneca may be required to make milestone payments totaling up to $90.0 million contingent on the achievement of certain sales targets and will be required to pay tiered royalties to the Company at rates beginning in the mid-single-digit percent and increasing up to twenty percent based on the aggregate annual net sales of products containing linaclotide in the AstraZeneca License Territory. In connection with the Amended AstraZeneca Agreement, the Company and AstraZeneca entered into a transition services agreement (“AstraZeneca TSA”) and an amended commercial supply agreement (“AstraZeneca CSA”). Under the terms of the AstraZeneca TSA, the Company will provide certain regulatory and administrative services for a term of approximately two years from the date of execution, unless earlier terminated or extended according to the terms of the transition services agreement. Services performed are paid at a mutually agreed upon rate. Amounts for AstraZeneca TSA services are recorded as collaborative arrangements revenue. Under the terms of the AstraZeneca CSA, the Company supplied linaclotide API, finished drug product and finished goods for the Licensed Territory through March 31, 2020 at predetermined rates. ​ The Company evaluated the Amended AstraZeneca Agreement in accordance with ASC 606 and determined that it would be accounted for as a separate contract because it adds a distinct good or service at an amount that reflects standalone selling price. The following performance obligations under the Amended AstraZeneca Agreement were identified: ● delivery of the expanded AstraZeneca License; ● AstraZeneca TSA services; and ● supply of linaclotide API, finished drug product and finished goods under the AstraZeneca CSA. ​ The Company determined that the non-contingent payments should be allocated to the delivery of the AstraZeneca License. The non-contingent payments totaling $35.0 million will be paid in installments through 2024. The Company determined that the performance obligation related to the transfer of the AstraZeneca License was satisfied as of the execution date of the Amended AstraZeneca Agreement. As a portion of the payments relating to the transfer of the AstraZeneca License are due significantly after the performance obligation was satisfied, the Company adjusted its transaction price for the significant financing component of approximately $2.6 million. Accordingly, the Company recognized approximately $32.4 million during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 relating to the delivery of the AstraZeneca License as collaborative arrangements revenue at contract inception, and will recognize the approximately $2.6 million relating to the significant financing component as interest income through 2024 using the effective interest method. Consideration allocated to the AstraZeneca TSA services will be recognized as collaborative arrangements revenue as such services are provided over the performance period using an output method based on the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice. Consideration for the supply of linaclotide API, finished drug product and finished goods under the AstraZeneca CSA was recognized over the performance period using an output method as linaclotide API, finished drug product and finished goods are shipped to AstraZeneca. ​ During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized an insignificant amount and approximately $0.5 million, respectively, in collaborative arrangements revenue under the Amended AstraZeneca Agreement related to the AstraZeneca TSA services. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized an insignificant amount and approximately $0.2 million, respectively, in collaborative arrangements revenue under the Amended AstraZeneca Agreement related to royalties. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized no revenue and approximately $5.5 million, respectively, of sale of API on its condensed consolidated statement of operations relating to the supply of linaclotide finished drug product and finished goods under the AstraZeneca CSA. The Company recognized approximately $0.2 million and approximately $0.6 million, respectively, in interest income related to the significant financing component of the Amended AstraZeneca Agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized an insignificant amount of collaborative arrangements revenue under the Amended AstraZeneca License related to the AstraZeneca TSA services. Additionally, during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $0.6 million of sale of API on its condensed consolidated statement of operations relating to the supply of linaclotide finished drug product and finished goods under the AstraZeneca CSA. The Company recognized an insignificant amount in interest income related to the significant financing component of the Amended AstraZeneca Agreement during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. ​ Promotion Agreements ​ Disease Education and Promotional Agreement with Alnylam ​ ​ ​ ● performance of disease education activities for AHP and performance of sales details for GIVLAARI (together “Givosiran Education and Promotion Activities”). ​ ​ ​ Other Collaboration and License Agreements ​ The Company has other collaboration and license agreements that are not individually significant to its business. Pursuant to the terms of one license agreement, the Company recognized no collaborative arrangements revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and recognized approximately $0.5 million in collaborative arrangements revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, related to a nonrefundable upfront payment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments ​ The tables below present information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs utilize unobservable data points in which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions for the asset or liability. ​ The Company’s investment portfolio may include fixed income securities that do not always trade on a daily basis. As a result, the pricing services used by the Company apply other available information as applicable through processes such as benchmark yields, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing to prepare valuations. In addition, model processes are used to assess interest rate impact and develop prepayment scenarios. These models take into consideration relevant credit information, perceived market movements, sector news and economic events. The inputs into these models may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads and other relevant data. The Company validates the prices provided by its third-party pricing services by obtaining market values from other pricing sources and analyzing pricing data in certain instances. The Company also invests in certain reverse repurchase agreements which are collateralized by Government Securities and Obligations for an amount not less than 102% of their principal amount. The Company does not record an asset or liability for the collateral as the Company is not permitted to sell or re-pledge the collateral. The collateral has at least the prevailing credit rating of U.S. Government Treasuries and Agencies. The Company utilizes a third-party custodian to manage the exchange of funds and ensure the collateral received is maintained at 102% of the reverse repurchase agreements principal amount on a daily basis. ​ The following tables present the assets and liabilities the Company has measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using ​ ​ ​ Quoted Prices in Significant Other Significant ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Active Markets for ​ Observable ​ Unobservable ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Identical Assets ​ Inputs ​ Inputs ​ ​ September 30, 2020 ​ ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) ​ Assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Cash and cash equivalents: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Money market funds ​ $ 292,533 ​ ​ $ 292,533 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ Restricted cash: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ Money market funds ​ ​ 2,220 ​ ​ ​ 2,220 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ Convertible Note Hedges ​ ​ 8,252 ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 8,252 ​ Total assets measured at fair value ​ $ 303,005 ​ ​ $ 294,753 ​ $ — ​ $ 8,252 ​ Liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Note Hedge Warrants ​ $ 7,695 ​ ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 7,695 ​ Total liabilities measured at fair value ​ $ 7,695 ​ ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 7,695 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using ​ ​ ​ Quoted Prices in Significant Other Significant ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Active Markets for ​ Observable ​ Unobservable ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Identical Assets ​ Inputs ​ Inputs ​ ​ December 31, 2019 ​ ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) ​ Assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Cash and cash equivalents: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Money market funds ​ $ 139,190 ​ ​ $ 139,190 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ Repurchase agreements ​ ​ 37,800 ​ ​ ​ 37,800 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ Restricted cash: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Money market funds ​ 2,221 ​ ​ 2,221 ​ — ​ — ​ Convertible Note Hedges ​ ​ 31,366 ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 31,366 ​ Total assets measured at fair value ​ $ 210,577 ​ ​ $ 179,211 ​ $ — ​ $ 31,366 ​ Liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Note Hedge Warrants ​ $ 24,260 ​ ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 24,260 ​ Total liabilities measured at fair value ​ $ 24,260 ​ ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 24,260 ​ ​ There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 or 2019. ​ Cash equivalents, accounts receivable, related party accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, related party accounts payable, accrued research and development costs, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, deferred revenue and current portion of operating lease obligations at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are carried at amounts that approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. ​ Convertible Note Hedges and Note Hedge Warrants with Respect to 2022 Convertible Notes ​ The Company’s Convertible Note Hedges and the Note Hedge Warrants are recorded as derivative assets and liabilities, respectively, and are classified as Level 3 measurements under the fair value hierarchy. These derivatives are not actively traded and are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the use of subjective assumptions. Significant inputs used to determine the fair value as of September 30, 2020 included the price per share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, expected terms of the derivative instruments, strike prices of the derivative instruments, risk-free interest rates, and expected volatility of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. Changes to these inputs could materially affect the valuation of the Convertible Note Hedges and Note Hedge Warrants. ​ The following inputs were used in the fair market valuation of the Convertible Note Hedges and Note Hedge Warrants as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Nine Months Ended ​ Year Ended ​ ​ ​ September 30, ​ December 31, ​ ​ 2020 ​ 2019 ​ ​ ​ Convertible Note Hedge ​ Convertible Note Hedge ​ ​ Note Hedges ​ Warrants Note Hedges ​ Warrants Risk-free interest rate (1) ​ ​ 0.13 % ​ 0.14 % ​ 1.6 % ​ 1.6 % Expected term ​ 1.7 ​ 2.3 ​ ​ 2.5 ​ 3.0 ​ Stock price (2) ​ $ 8.99 ​ $ 8.99 ​ $ 13.31 ​ $ 13.31 ​ Strike price (3) ​ $ 14.51 ​ $ 18.82 ​ $ 14.51 ​ $ 18.82 ​ Common stock volatility (4) ​ ​ 50.2 % ​ 52.2 % ​ 49.1 % ​ 46.5 % Dividend yield (5) ​ — % — % — % — % (1) Based on U.S. Treasury yield curve, with terms commensurate with the expected terms of the Convertible Note Hedges and the Note Hedge Warrants.

The Company separately accounted for the liability and equity components of each of the 2022 Convertible Notes, 2024 Convertible Notes, and 2026 Convertible Notes by allocating the proceeds between the liability component and equity component (Note 8). The fair value of the respective convertible senior notes, which differs from their carrying value, is influenced by interest rates, the price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and the volatility thereof, and the prices for the respective convertible senior notes observed in market trading, which are Level 2 inputs. ​ The estimated fair value of the 2022 Convertible Notes was approximately $124.1 million and approximately $141.3 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

At September 30, 2020, the balances of the right-of-use asset and operating lease liability were approximately $16.9 million and approximately $23.5 million, respectively. At December 31, 2019, the balances of the right-of-use asset and operating lease liability were approximately $17.7 million and approximately $22.8 million, respectively. ​ Lease cost related to the Summer Street Lease recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was approximately $0.7 million and approximately $1.9 million, respectively.

The Binney Street Property previously served as the Company’s headquarters and was replaced by the Summer Street Property in October 2019, as discussed above. ​ On April 1, 2019, the Company modified its lease with BMR-Rogers Street LLC (“Binney Street Landlord”), to reduce its leased premises to approximately 108,000 rentable square feet of office space on the first and third floors. The surrendered portion of approximately 114,000 rentable square feet on the first and second floor of the building was then occupied by Cyclerion under a direct lease between Cyclerion and the Binney Street Landlord. As a result of the modification, the Company adjusted the value of its right-of-use asset and operating lease liability using an incremental borrowing rate of approximately 5.1%, and recognized a gain of approximately $3.2 million, which was recorded as a reduction to operating expenses on its condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company elected to determine the proportionate reduction in the right-of-use asset based on the reduction to the lease liability and will apply that methodology consistently to all comparable future modifications that decrease the scope of the lease. ​ On June 11, 2019, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement (the “Lease Termination”) with the Binney Street Landlord to terminate the Company’s lease for approximately 108,000 square feet of office space. The Lease Termination was effective during the fourth quarter of 2019 in exchange for an approximately $9.0 million payment to the Binney Street Landlord. The Company determined that the Lease Termination would be accounted for as a lease modification that reduces the term of the existing lease. As a result of this modification, the Company adjusted the value of its right-of-use asset and operating lease liability using an incremental borrowing rate of approximately 4.0%. ​ Lease cost related to the Binney Street Lease recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $6.2 million.

Notes Payable	8. Notes Payable ​ 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 ​ In June 2015, the Company issued approximately $335.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Convertible Notes. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $324.0 million from the sale of the 2022 Convertible Notes, after deducting fees and expenses of approximately $11.7 million. The Company used approximately $21.1 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2022 Convertible Notes to pay the net cost of the Convertible Note Hedges (after such cost was partially offset by the proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Note Hedge Warrants), as described below. ​ The 2022 Convertible Notes are governed by an indenture (the “2022 Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The 2022 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and bear cash interest at the annual rate of 2.25%, payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, which began on December 15, 2015. The 2022 Convertible Notes will mature on June 15, 2022, unless earlier converted or repurchased. The Company may settle conversions of the 2022 Convertible Notes through payment or delivery, as the case may be, of cash, shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company or a combination of cash and shares of Class A Common Stock, at the Company’s option (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of the 2022 Indenture). The initial conversion rate for the 2022 Convertible Notes was 60.3209 shares of Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided for in the 2022 Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the 2022 Convertible Notes, which was equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $16.58 per share and 20,249,665 shares. ​ In connection with the Separation in April 2019, the conversion rate under the 2022 Indenture was adjusted to equal 68.9172 shares of Ironwood Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2022 Convertible Notes, which is equal to an adjusted conversion price of approximately $14.51 per share and 23,135,435 shares. ​ Holders of the 2022 Convertible Notes may convert their 2022 Convertible Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 15, 2021 in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, only under the following circumstances: ​ ● during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2015 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the 2022 Convertible Notes on each applicable trading day; ​ ● during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” (as defined in the 2022 Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the 2022 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and the conversion rate for the 2022 Convertible Notes on each such trading day; or ​ ● upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the 2022 Indenture. ​ On or after December 15, 2021, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding June 15, 2022, holders may convert their 2022 Convertible Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances. ​ If a make-whole fundamental change, as described in the 2022 Indenture, occurs and a holder elects to convert its 2022 Convertible Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change, such holder may be entitled to an increase in the conversion rate as described in the 2022 Indenture. The Company may not redeem the 2022 Convertible Notes prior to the maturity date and no “sinking fund” is provided for by the 2022 Convertible Notes, which means that the Company is not required to periodically redeem or retire the 2022 Convertible Notes. Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes involving the Company, holders of the 2022 Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their 2022 Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. ​ The 2022 Indenture does not contain any financial covenants or restrict the Company’s ability to repurchase the Company’s securities, pay dividends or make restricted payments in the event of a transaction that substantially increases the Company’s level of indebtedness. The 2022 Indenture provides for customary events of default. In the case of an event of default with respect to the 2022 Convertible Notes arising from specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding 2022 Convertible Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default with respect to the 2022 Convertible Notes under the 2022 Indenture occurs or is continuing, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2022 Convertible Notes may declare the principal amount of the 2022 Convertible Notes to be immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 2022 Indenture provides that, upon the Company’s election, and for up to 180 days, the sole remedy for an event of default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants in the 2022 Indenture consists exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the 2022 Convertible Notes. ​ In accordance with accounting guidance for debt with conversion and other options, the Company separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the 2022 Convertible Notes by allocating the proceeds between the liability component and the embedded conversion option, or equity component, due to the Company’s ability to settle the 2022 Convertible Notes in cash, its Class A Common Stock, or a combination of cash and Class A Common Stock at the option of the Company. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The allocation was performed in a manner that reflected the Company’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate for similar debt.
