C.Agreements
Significant Collaborative Agreements
Roche
In May 2000, the Company granted Genentech, now a member of the Roche Group, an exclusive license to use the Company’s maytansinoid ADC technology. Pursuant to this agreement, Roche developed and received marketing approval for its HER2-targeting ADC, Kadcyla, in the U.S., Japan, the European Union, and numerous other countries. In accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy, $32.2 million and $27.1 million of non-cash royalties on net sales of Kadcyla were recorded and included in non-cash royalty revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Kadcyla sales occurring after January 1, 2015 were covered by a royalty purchase agreement whereby the associated cash, except for a residual tail, was initially remitted to Immunity Royalty Holdings, L.P. (IRH). In January 2019, the Company sold its residual tail to OMERS, the defined benefit pension plan for municipal employees in the Province of Ontario, Canada, for a net payment of $65.2 million, as discussed further in Note E. Simultaneously, OMERS purchased IRH’s right to the royalties the Company previously sold as described above, therefore obtaining the rights to 100% of the royalties on the commercial sales of Kadcyla received from that date on.
For additional information related to this agreement, as well as the Company’s other significant collaborative agreements, please read Note C, “Agreements - Significant Collaborative Agreements,” to the audited financial statements included within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021.
D.Convertible 4.5% Senior Notes
In 2016, the Company issued convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million, of which $1.1 million remained outstanding as of June 30, 2021, which were subsequently repaid in full by a cash payment upon maturity on July 1, 2021. In June 2021, $1.0 million of convertible notes were converted to 238,777 shares of the Company’s common stock. The convertible notes were senior unsecured obligations with an interest rate of 4.5% per year, paid semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2017. The Company recorded $47,000 of interest expense in each of the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company analyzed the terms of the convertible notes and determined that under current accounting guidance the notes were entirely accounted for as debt and none of the terms of the notes required separate accounting.
E. | Liability Related to Sale of Future Royalties |
In 2015, IRH purchased the right to receive 100% of the royalty payments on commercial sales of Kadcyla subsequent to December 31, 2014, arising under the Company’s development and commercialization license with Genentech, until IRH had received aggregate royalties equal to $235 million or $260 million, depending on when the aggregate royalties received by IRH reach a specified milestone. Once the applicable threshold was met, the Company would thereafter have received 85% and IRH would have received 15% of the Kadcyla royalties for the remaining royalty term. At the consummation of the transaction, the Company received cash proceeds of $200 million. As part of this sale, the Company incurred $5.9 million of transaction costs, which are presented net of the liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized to interest expense over the estimated life of the royalty purchase
