NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Throughout its history, the mission of PDL 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. Overall, the Company consummated eighteen transactions, nine of which are active and outstanding.
In September 2019, the Company engaged financial and legal advisors and initiated a review of its strategy. In December 2019, the Company announced that it decided to halt the execution of its growth strategy, cease additional strategic transactions and investments and instead 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 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 whole Company sale, divestiture of assets, spin-offs of operating entities, merger opportunities or a combination thereof. Over the subsequent months, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and management analyzed, together with outside financial and legal advisors, how to best capture value pursuant to the monetization strategy and best return the value of the assets in its portfolio to its stockholders.
During the first quarter of 2020, the Board 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 as permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). In the event the proposal is approved by stockholders and the Board concludes that the whole Company sale process is unlikely to maximize the value that can be returned to the stockholders from our monetization process, the Company intends to file a Certificate of Dissolution with the Secretary of State of Delaware after monetizing its key assets and then proceed to wind-down and dissolve the Company in accordance with the DGCL. 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.
Pursuant to the Company’s monetization strategy, the Company began a comprehensive program to market and sell its investments. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s 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. See Note 21, Subsequent Events, for additional information about the Pharmaceutical segment.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Evofem common stock held within the Strategic Positions segment was distributed to the Company’s stockholders and as a result the Strategic Positions segment and all investments included in the segment met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations. Therefore, the Strategic Positions segment is also presented as discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. While the Company cannot provide a definitive timeline for the liquidation process, it has been targeting the end of 2020 for completing the monetization or other distribution 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
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 statement 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, 2019, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2019 Form 10-K”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 11, 2020 and the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on June 29, 2020, which revises and re-casts certain historical financial information included in the 2019 Form 10-K to present the Pharmaceutical segment and the royalty right assets within the Income Generating Assets segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 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 and six months ended June 30, 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, assets and liabilities held for sale, including the valuation of royalty rights - at fair value, product revenue recognition and allowances for customer rebates, the valuation of notes receivable and inventory, the assessment of recoverability of intangible assets and their estimated useful lives, the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation, the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation of warrants to acquire shares of common stock. Furthermore, the impact on accounting estimates and judgments on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations due to COVID-19 has introduced additional uncertainties. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Based on the composition of its investment portfolio, the Company historically structured its operations in 4 segments designated as Medical Devices, Strategic Positions, Pharmaceutical and Income Generating Assets. During the second quarter of 2020, and in connection with the distribution of shares of Evofem common stock to stockholders, the Company determined that Strategic Positions was no longer an operating segment. Following is a summary of the Company’s segments including those that have been classified as discontinued operations:
•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 consisted of an investment in Evofem, which included shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company distributed its shares of common stock in Evofem to the Company’s stockholders at which time the segment ceased to be a reportable segment. The Company continues to hold warrants to purchase shares of Evofem’s common stock. Evofem is a publicly-traded commercial-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 for PhexxiTM (L-lactic acid, citric acid and potassium bitartrate) for hormone-free birth control.
•The Company’s Pharmaceutical segment consisted 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”).

(Unaudited)
The branded prescription Noden Products were acquired from Novartis Pharma AG (“Novartis”) in July 2016 (the “Noden Transaction”) by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Noden Pharma DAC (“Noden DAC”). The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Noden Pharma USA Inc. (“Noden USA”) launched its authorized generic form of Tekturna in the United States in March 2019.
•The Company’s Income Generating Assets segment consists of revenue derived from (i) notes and other long-term receivables, (ii) equity investments and (iii) royalties from issued patents in the United States and elsewhere covering the humanization of antibodies (“Queen et al. patents”). As noted above, the royalty rights assets previously included in the Income Generating Assets segment are classified as held for sale and are reported as discontinued operations.
The worldwide spread of coronavirus, or COVID-19, has created significant uncertainty in the global economy. There have been no comparable recent events that provide guidance as to the effect the spread of COVID-19 as a global pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. If the financial markets or the overall economy are impacted for an extended period, the Company’s liquidity, revenues, supplies and intangibles may be adversely affected.
Significant Accounting Policies
Assets Held for Sale
Assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale when all of the following criteria for a plan of sale have been met: (1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the assets; (2) the assets are available for immediate sale, in their present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; (3) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the assets have been initiated; (4) the sale of the assets is probable and is expected to be completed within one year; (5) the assets are being actively marketed for a price that is reasonable in relation to their current fair value; and (6) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn. When all of these criteria have been met, the assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale in the balance sheet. Assets classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization of assets ceases upon designation as held for sale. The assets and liabilities held for sale are recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale, respectively.
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations comprise those activities that were disposed of during the period or which were classified as held for sale at the end of the period, represent a separate major line of business or geographical area that can be clearly distinguished for operational and financial reporting purposes and represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The profits and losses are presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations Classified as Assets Held for Sale, for additional information.
Severance and retention
After the Company announced its monetization strategy, it recognized that its ability to execute on its plan and optimize returns to its stockholders depended to a large extent on its ability to retain the necessary expertise to effectively transact with respect to its assets. On December 21, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board adopted a Wind Down Retention Plan in which the Company’s executive officers and other employees who are participants in the Company’s Severance Plan are eligible to participate. Under the Wind Down Retention Plan, participants are eligible to earn a retention benefit in consideration for their continued employment with the Company. The Wind Down Retention benefits are equivalent to previously disclosed compensation payments contemplated in connection with a change in control under the Company’s existing Severance Plan. Under the Wind Down Retention Plan, payment of the retention benefit to any participant will occur upon termination of the participant’s employment with the Company either by the Company without cause or by the participant for good reason. The retention benefit, if paid, would be in lieu of (and not in addition to) any other severance compensation that could become payable to the participant under the Company’s Severance Plan. In connection with the adoption of the Wind Down Retention Plan, a severance liability is being recorded over the remaining service period for the participating employees. As of June 30,

PDL BIOPHARMA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
2020, the Company has recorded a severance liability of $6.0 million. Expenses associated with severance payments and accruals are reflected in Severance and retention on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Wind Down Retention Plan also provides that, consistent with the existing terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”), the vesting of all outstanding equity awards held by participants as of the date the Wind Down Retention Plan was adopted will be accelerated upon the earlier of: (i) a termination of the participant’s employment with the Company either by the Company without cause or by the participant for good reason or (ii) the consummation of a change in control (as defined in the Equity Plan) of the Company. In addition, the post-termination exercise period for all outstanding stock options will be extended until their expiration date. In connection with the Board adopting the Plan of Liquidation in the first quarter of 2020, all of the outstanding and unvested stock options and restricted stock granted to the Company’s employees and executive officers, with the exception of certain outstanding awards under the 2016/20 Long-Term Incentive Plan, accelerated and vested under the change in control definition in the Equity Plan. The expense associated with the accelerated vesting, totaling $15.7 million is reported as Severance and retention on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
For a discussion of other accounting policies, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Summarized below are the accounting pronouncements and policies adopted subsequent to December 31, 2019 in addition to those described above.
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 April 2020, the FASB issued a staff question-and-answer document, “Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” (the “COVID-19 Q&A”), to address certain frequently-asked questions pertaining to lease concessions arising from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing lease guidance requires entities to determine if a lease concession was a result of a new arrangement reached with the lessee (which would be addressed
11

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
under the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (which would not fall under the lease modification framework). The COVID-19 Q&A clarifies that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief granted in light of the effects of COVID-19 is a lease or obligations of the lease. This election is available for concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same or less than the total payments required by the original contract.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, LENSAR entered into agreements with 22 customers through which LENSAR agreed to waive monthly rental and minimum monthly license fees ranging from one to four months for an aggregate of $0.9 million of revenue, consisting of $0.5 million in Product revenue, $0.3 million in Lease revenue, and $0.1 million in Service revenue. In return for these concessions the related contracts were extended by the same number of months waived. No amounts of accounts receivable or notes receivable were deemed uncollectible due to COVID-19 during the quarter ended June 30, 2020; however, the Company considered the effects of COVID-19 in estimating its credit losses for the period.
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.
2. Discontinued Operations Classified as Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
In February 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved the Plan of Liquidation and passed a resolution to seek stockholder approval at the Company’s 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 returns 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 the Company’s royalty assets (Income Generating Assets segment) and its subsidiary Noden (Pharmaceutical segment) during the first quarter of 2020. The discontinued operations criteria were met for the Company’s investment in Evofem (Strategic Positions segment) during the second quarter of 2020 after the Company distributed all of its shares of common stock of Evofem to the Company’s stockholders. The historical financial results of the investment in Evofem, royalty assets and Noden are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and assets and liabilities were retrospectively reclassified as assets and liabilities held for sale.

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.
On May 21, 2020, the Company announced that it had completed the distribution of all of the Company’s 13,333,334 shares of common stock of Evofem to the Company’s stockholders, which represented approximately 26.7% of the outstanding shares of Evofem common stock as of the close of business on May 15, 2020. The distribution was recorded as a noncash distribution of $64.4 million, reducing retained earnings. Following the distribution, PDL continues to hold warrants to purchase up to 3,333,334 shares of Evofem common stock. As of June 30, 2020, the Evofem warrants were valued at $5.3 million and are classified as “Assets held for sale” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Evofem common stock and the Evofem warrants are included in “Long-term assets held for sale” on the Company’s December 31, 2019 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations Classified as Assets Held for Sale, for additional information.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a loss of $6.5 million and $17.9 million, respectively, in (Loss) income from discontinued operations before income taxes on the Company’s Condensed, Consolidated Statements of Operations for the change in fair value of the Evofem common stock.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $6.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively, for the change in fair value of the Evofem warrants. These losses are included in (Loss) income from discontinued operations before income taxes on the Company’s Condensed, Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The latest Evofem financial statements can be found on their corporate website at www.evofem.com or filed with the SEC at www.sec.gov.
4. Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had invested its excess cash balances primarily in cash and money market funds. The fair values of cash equivalents approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of such financial instruments.

Royalty Rights - At Fair Value
During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, it was determined that the Company’s royalty assets met the criteria as an asset held for sale, see Note 2, Discontinued Operations Classified as Assets Held for Sale. Assets classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sale. The Company historically accounted for such royalty rights assets at fair value, which, as discussed below, primarily reflected the expected future cash to be received but did not consider the expected costs to sell the assets. The Company’s royalty assets are comprised of several separate and distinct royalty rights, some of which have progressed further in the sales process and for which the Company has received a formal bid. For such assets, the resulting fair value less cost to sell reflects the bid based process discussed below. For the remaining royalty rights assets, the Company continues to estimate the fair value less cost to sell using the cash flow based model discussed below.
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 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

(Unaudited)
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., which was subsequently acquired by Salix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 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® and Synjardy XR®; and (e) from Bausch Health for sales of extended-release metformin tablets in Korea and Canada, respectively.
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 2 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. After the amendment, the Company elected to continue to follow 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.
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 June 30, 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. 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 estimated fair value of the asset is subject to variation should those cash flows vary significantly from the Company’s estimates. The Company periodically assesses the expected future cash flows and to the extent such payments are greater or less than its initial estimates, or the timing of such payments is materially different than the original estimates, the Company will adjust the estimated fair value of the asset. A third-party expert is engaged to assist management with the development of its estimate of the expected future cash flows, when deemed necessary. Should the expected royalties increase or decrease by 2.5%, the fair value of the asset could increase or decrease by $5.3 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 $16.6 million or increase by $19.4 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 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 for the above described royalty streams.
As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of the asset acquired as reported in “Assets held for sale” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was $207.7 million and the maximum loss exposure was $207.7 million, which reflects an estimated remaining cost to sell of $4.5 million.
Viscogliosi Brothers Royalty Agreement
On June 26, 2014, the Company entered into a Royalty Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “VB Royalty Agreement”) with Viscogliosi Brothers, LLC (“VB”), whereby VB conveyed to the Company the right to receive royalties payable on sales of a spinal implant that has received pre-market approval from the FDA held by VB and commercialized by Paradigm Spine, LLC (“Paradigm Spine”), in exchange for a $15.5 million cash payment, less fees. Paradigm Spine was acquired in March 2019 by RTI Surgical Holdings, Inc.
The royalty rights acquired include royalties accruing from and after April 1, 2014. Under the terms of the VB Royalty Agreement, the Company receives all royalty payments due to VB pursuant to certain technology transfer agreements between VB and Paradigm Spine until the Company has received payments equal to 2.3 times the cash payment made to VB, after which all rights to receive royalties will be returned to VB. VB’s ability to repurchase the royalty right for a specified amount expired on June 26, 2018.
The estimated fair value of the royalty rights at June 30, 2020, was determined by using bids received during the Company’s sale process. This asset is classified as a Level 3 asset, as the Company’s valuation utilized significant unobservable inputs.
As of June 30, 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.
As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of the asset acquired as reported in “Assets held for sale” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was $4.3 million and the maximum loss exposure was $4.3 million, which reflects an estimated remaining cost to sell of $0.1 million.
University of Michigan Royalty Agreement
On November 6, 2014, the Company acquired a portion of all royalty payments of the Regents of the University of Michigan’s (“U-M”) worldwide royalty interest in Cerdelga® (eliglustat) for $65.6 million pursuant to the Royalty Purchase and Sale Agreement with U-M (the “U-M Royalty Agreement”). Under the terms of the U-M Royalty Agreement, the Company receives 75% of all royalty payments due under the U-M license agreement with Genzyme Corporation, a Sanofi company (“Genzyme”) until expiration of the licensed patents, excluding any patent term extension. Cerdelga, an oral therapy for adult patients with Gaucher disease type 1, was developed by Genzyme. Cerdelga was approved in the United States in August 2014, in the European Union (“EU”) in January 2015, and in Japan in March 2015. In addition, marketing applications for Cerdelga are under review by other regulatory authorities. While marketing applications have been approved in the United States, the EU and Japan, national pricing and reimbursement decisions are delayed in some countries.

AcelRx Royalty Agreement
On September 18, 2015, the Company entered into a royalty interest assignment agreement (the “AcelRx Royalty Agreement”) with ARPI LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AcelRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“AcelRx”), whereby the Company acquired the rights to receive a portion of the royalties and certain milestone payments on sales of Zalviso® (sufentanil sublingual tablet system) in the EU, Switzerland and Australia by AcelRx’s commercial partner, Grünenthal, in exchange for a $65.0 million cash payment.

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 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. The Company’s carrying value of the 1.7 million shares of Alphaeon common stock as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 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 6, Notes and Other Long-Term Receivables.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, it was determined that Noden met the criteria as an asset held for sale, see Note 2, Discontinued Operations Classified as Assets Held for Sale. Assets classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. As a result of the Company’s analysis of the fair value of Noden, the Company recorded a loss on classification as held for sale of $6.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 of which $1.8 million related to the estimated costs to sell Noden and $4.9 million related 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. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded an additional loss of $16.8 million related primarily to the difference in carrying value and fair value. The reduction in fair value reflects lower estimated sales proceeds as informed by the Company’s ongoing sales process. At June 30, 2020, the fair value calculation was made using a discounted cash flow model, utilizing a discount rate of approximately 17%, and included level 3 inputs.
Assets/Liabilities Not Subject to Fair Value Recognition
The Company has 2 notes receivable assets with an aggregate carrying value of $52.1 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The estimated fair value of these notes receivable of $57.3 million exceeded the carrying value as of December 31, 2019 and was substantially equivalent to the carrying values as of June 30, 2020. The notes receivable are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company determined its notes receivable assets are Level 3 assets as the Company’s valuations utilized significant unobservable inputs, including estimates of future revenues, discount rates, expectations about settlement, terminal values, required yield and the value of underlying collateral. The Company engages third-party valuation experts when deemed necessary to assist in evaluating its investments and the related inputs needed to estimate the fair value of certain investments.
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the CareView note receivable was determined using a liquidation analysis. A liquidation analysis considers the asset side of the balance sheet and adjusts the value in accordance with the relative risk associated with the asset and the probable liquidation value. The asset recovery rates varied by asset. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the Wellstat Diagnostics and Hyperion Catalysis International, Inc. (“Hyperion”) notes receivable were determined by using an asset approach and discounted cash flow model related to the underlying collateral and adjusted to consider estimated costs to sell the assets.
The CareView note receivable is secured by substantially all assets of, and equity interests in CareView. The Wellstat Diagnostics note receivable is secured by substantially all assets of Wellstat Diagnostics and is supported by a guaranty from the Wellstat Diagnostics Guarantors (as defined in Note 7, Notes and Other Long-Term Receivables).
On June 30, 2020, the carrying value of one of the Company’s notes receivable assets differed from its estimated fair value. This is the result of inputs used in estimating the fair value of the collateral, including appraisals, projected cash flows of collateral assets and discount rates used when performing a discounted cash flow analysis.
The Company’s liabilities not subject to fair value recognition consist of its 2021 and 2024 convertible notes. The fair values of the Company’s convertible senior notes were determined using quoted market pricing and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The aggregate carrying value of the convertible notes was $13.5 million and $27.3 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The aggregate fair values of the convertible notes was $16.2 million and $33.9 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

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 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 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, 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.
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 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 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 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 June 30, 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 is 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 2 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 June 30, 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.

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. In December 2018, the Company further modified the loan by agreeing that (i) a lower liquidity covenant would be applicable, (ii) the first principal payment would be deferred until January 31, 2019, and (iii) the scheduled interest payment due December 31, 2018 would be deferred until January 31, 2019. In December 2018, and in consideration of the further modification to the credit agreement, the Company completed an impairment analysis and determined that the note was impaired and recorded an impairment loss of $8.2 million. For additional information see Note 6, Fair Value Measurements. As of March 31, 2019, the principal repayment and interest payments were deferred until April 30, 2019. The principal repayment and interest payment were subsequently deferred until May 15, 2019 under additional amendments. In May 2019, and in consideration of additional capital raised by CareView, the Company further modified the loan by agreeing that (i) the first principal and interest payments would be deferred until September 30, 2019 and (ii) the remaining liquidity covenant would be removed. In September 2019, the Company further modified the loan by agreeing that the first principal and interest payments would be deferred, and (iii) the interest rate would be increased to 15.5%. Pursuant to further amendments to the February 2018 Modification Agreement in September 2019, December 2019, January 2020 and April 2020, the Company agreed to defer principal and interest payments until September 30, 2020.
In December 2019, and in consideration of the further modification to the credit agreement and February 2018 Modification Agreement, the Company updated its impairment analysis and determined that an additional impairment was necessary and recorded an impairment loss of $10.8 million. At June 30, 2020, the Company estimated the fair value of the warrant to be less than $0.1 million.

December 2021 Notes
On November 22, 2016, the Company issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount, at par, of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due December 1, 2021 (the “December 2021 Notes”) in an underwritten public offering, for net proceeds of $145.7 million. The December 2021 Notes are due December 1, 2021, and the Company pays interest at 2.75% on the December 2021 Notes semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning June 1, 2017.
In September 2019, the Company entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements with certain holders of approximately $86.1 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding December 2021 Notes. The Company exchanged $86.1 million aggregate principal of December 2021 Notes for an identical principal amount of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due December 1, 2024 (the “December 2024 Notes”), plus a cash payment of $70.00 for each $1,000 principal amount tendered (“September Exchange Transaction”). See “December 2024 Notes” below. The terms of the 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 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):
•During any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter) commencing after the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017, if the last reported sale price of Company common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), in the period of 30 consecutive trading days, ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, exceeds 130% of the conversion price for the notes on each applicable trading day;
•During the five business-day period immediately after any five consecutive trading-day period, which the Company refers to as the measurement period, in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of that measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Company common stock and the conversion rate for the notes for each such trading day; or
•Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as described in the December 2021 Notes Indenture.
The initial conversion rate for the December 2021 Notes was 262.2951 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of December 2021 Notes, 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. After the distribution by the Company of its stock in Evofem to the PDL stockholders in May 2020, the conversion rate for the December 2021 Notes was increased to 316.5801 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of December 2021 Notes equating to a conversion price of $3.16 per share of common stock.
In accordance with the accounting guidance for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets on conversion, the Company was required to separately account for the liability component of the instrument in a manner that reflects the market interest rate for a similar nonconvertible instrument at the date of issuance. As a result, the Company separated the principal balance of the December 2021 Notes between the fair value of the debt component with the remainder of the 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 debt discount of $4.3 million, allocated $23.8 million to Additional 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 9.7%. As of June 30, 2020, the remaining discount amortization period is 1.4 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 six months ended June 30, 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 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 corresponded to the approximate $3.81 per share conversion price of the December 2021 Notes and was subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the December 2021 Notes. The cap price of the capped call transaction was initially $4.88 per share subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transaction. Upon the distribution by the Company of its stock in Evofem to the PDL stockholders in May 2020, the cap price was adjusted to $4.04 per share. 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 Additional 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company unwound a corresponding portion of the capped call related to the 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 at 2.75% 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 on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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 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

(Unaudited)
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 was 262.2951 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 original principal amount of December 2024 Notes, 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. After the distribution by the Company of its stock in Evofem to the PDL stockholders, the conversion rate for the December 2024 Notes is 316.5801 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of December 2024 Notes equating to a conversion price of $3.16 per share of common stock.
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 June 30, 2020, the remaining discount amortization period is 4.4 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.
During the six months ended June 30, 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.
The carrying value, accretion and unamortized discount of the December 2024 Notes as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows:

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 corresponded to the approximate $3.81 per share conversion price of the December 2024 Notes 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 subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transaction. Upon the distribution by the Company of its stock in Evofem to the PDL stockholders in May 2020, the cap price was adjusted to $4.04 per share. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company unwound a corresponding portion of the capped call entered into when the December 2024 Notes were issued.

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 June 30, 2020, the total lease payments for the duration of the guarantee, which runs through December 2021, are approximately $16.9 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 June 30, 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. 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. 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 $37.4 million through June 2021, which is guaranteed by the Company. On July 30, 2020 we announced the signing of a definitive agreement for the sale of 100% of the outstanding stock in Noden Pharma DAC and Noden Pharma USA. Upon closing, the Company will be released of its guarantee to Novartis in connection with Noden’s supply agreement. See Note 21, Subsequent Events, for additional information.
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 $5.3 million, of which $3.9 million is due

(Unaudited)
over the next twelve months. The Company has guaranteed up to $1.0 million of this commitment. LENSAR expects to meet these requirements.
PDL Parental Financial Support for LENSAR
On July 17, 2020, the Company announced that LENSAR confidentially submitted a registration statement on Form 10 to the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to a potential spin-off as a stand-alone publicly-traded company. The Company continues to pursue various strategic alternatives for LENSAR in addition to a spin-off.
On June 19, 2020, in connection with the confidential Form 10 filing for the potential spin-off, the Company issued a letter to LENSAR’s management and board of directors committing financial support to LENSAR up to $20.0 million through June 20, 2021.
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 repurchased 31.0 million shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $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 the Board authorized repurchase program can 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. On December 17, 2019, the Company entered into a 10b5-1 plan. This plan was terminated on May 31, 2020. 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. 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 six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2020 the Company repurchased 12.3 million shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $39.4 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.
15. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company grants restricted stock awards and stock options pursuant to the stockholder approved Equity Plan. On February 7, 2020, the Board approved the Plan of Liquidation, which accelerated the vesting of a significant portion of the Company’s outstanding equity awards pursuant to provisions in the Wind Down Retention Plan.
The Wind Down Retention Plan further provides for equitable adjustments to outstanding stock options held by participants to ensure such participants realize the same benefits provided to shareholders in the event one or more cash dividends or other distributions become payable to shareholders. Consistent with the existing terms of the Equity Plan, in the event one or more cash dividends or other distributions are paid to shareholders, the exercise price of outstanding stock options will be reduced on
34
PDL BIOPHARMA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
a dollar-for-dollar basis to reflect the per share value of such dividends or distribution; provided that such exercise price will not be reduced below the par value of the shares subject to the option. Furthermore, in the event that the Company declares a cash dividend or other distribution that exceeds the difference between the exercise price of an outstanding stock option and the par value of the underlying shares, the holder of such stock option will be entitled to receive from the Company, in lieu of such equitable adjustment, a cash payment in an amount equal to the number of shares subject to such stock option multiplied by the per share amount of the cash dividend that exceeds the difference between exercise price of the outstanding option and the par value of the underlying shares (a “true-up payment”). In May 2020, in accordance with this provision and in conjunction with the Evofem distribution, the exercise prices of the outstanding option awards was decreased by $0.58 per share.
The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option and restricted stock award activity during the six months ended June 30, 2020:

16. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Revenue
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
Product and Service Revenue Recognition
Product and Service revenue are recognized from our Medical Device segment. Revenue is recognized from the sale of products and services when the company transfers control of such promised products and services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these products and services. A five-step model is utilized to achieve the core principle and includes the following steps: (1) identify the customer contract; (2) identify the contract’s performance obligations; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when the distinct performance obligations are satisfied.
We principally derive our revenue from the sale and lease of the LENSAR Laser System and the sale of other related products and services, including PIDs, procedure licenses, and extended warranty service agreements. A procedure license represents a one-time right to utilize the LENSAR Laser System surgical application in connection with a surgery procedure. Without separately procuring procedure licenses granted by us, either together with the purchase of the LENSAR Laser System or under separate subsequent contracts, the customer does not have the right to use the surgical software application to perform surgical procedures. Typically, returns are not allowed.
Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Judgement is required to determine the level of interdependency between the LENSAR Laser System and the sale of other related products and services. We evaluate each product or service promised in a
35
PDL BIOPHARMA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
contract to determine whether it represents a distinct performance obligation. A performance obligation is distinct if (1) the customer can benefit from the product or service on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer and (2) the products or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
For contracts involving the sale or lease of the LENSAR Laser System, our performance obligations generally include the LENSAR Laser System, PID, procedure license, and extended warranty service agreements. In addition, our customer contracts contain provisions for installation and training services, which are not assessed as performance obligations as they are determined to be immaterial promises in the context of the contract and are required for a customer to use the LENSAR Laser System.
We have determined that the LENSAR Laser System, PID and procedure license are each capable of being distinct because they are each sold separately and the customer can benefit from these products with the other readily available resources that are sold by us. In addition, we have determined each are separately identifiable because the LENSAR Laser System, PID and procedure license (1) are not highly interdependent or interrelated; (2) do not modify or customize one another; and (3) we do not provide a significant service of integrating the promised goods into a bundled output. This is because we are able to fulfill each promise in the contract independently of the others. That is, we would be able to fulfill our promise to transfer the LENSAR Laser System even if the customer did not purchase a PID or procedure license and we would be able to fulfill our promise to provide the PID or the procedure license even if the customer acquired the LENSAR Laser System separately.
The extended warranty, unlike our standard product warranty, is a performance obligation because it provides an incremental service that is beyond ensuring the product delivered will be consistent with stated contractual specifications.
When a contract contains multiple performance obligations, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price.
We recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the product or service to a customer as described below. We record a contract liability, or deferred revenue, when we have an obligation to provide a product or service to the customer and payment is received or due in advance of our performance.
Product revenue. We recognize revenue for the sale of the products at a point in time when control is transferred to customers.
Equipment. LENSAR Laser System sales are recognized as Product revenue when the Company transfers control 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 direct customers. LENSAR Laser System sales to distributors are recognized as revenue upon shipment.
PID and procedure licenses. The LENSAR Laser System requires both a PID and a procedure license to perform each procedure. We recognize Product revenue for PIDs when the company transfers control of the PID. We recognize Product revenue for procedure licenses, which represents a one-time right to utilize the LENSAR Laser System surgical software application, at the point in time when control of the procedure is transferred to the customer. Control transfers at the time a customer receives the license key. For the sale of PIDs and procedure licenses, the Company may offer volume discounts to certain customers. To determine the amount of revenue that should be recognized at the time control over these products transfers to the customer, the Company estimates the average per unit price, net of discounts.
Service revenue. We offer an extended warranty that provides additional maintenance services beyond the standard limited warranty. We recognize Service revenue from the sale of extended warranties over the warranty period on a ratable basis. Customers have the option of renewing the warranty period, which is considered a new and separate contract.
Lease Revenue
Lease revenue is recognized from our Medical Device segment. For LENSAR Laser System operating leases, we recognize Lease revenue over the length of the lease. For additional information regarding accounting for leases, see Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Revenue Recognition and Note 8, Leases to our financial statements included in this information statement.
36
PDL BIOPHARMA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
We lease equipment to customers under operating lease arrangements. At contract inception we perform an evaluation to determine if a lease arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset. To the extent such rights of control are conveyed, we further make an assessment as to the applicable lease classification. The identification of specified assets and determination of appropriate lease classification may require the use of management judgement.
Some of our operating leases include a purchase option for the customer to purchase the leased asset at the end of the lease arrangement, subject to a new contract. We do not believe the purchase price qualifies as a bargain purchase option.
For lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components where we are the lessor, we allocate the contract’s transaction price (including discounts) to the lease and non-lease components on a relative standalone selling price which requires judgments. 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 PIDs used with the leased equipment.
For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as lease revenue. Depreciation expense associated with the leased equipment under operating lease arrangements is reflected in cost of lease in the statements of operations.
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.
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

See Note 2, Discontinued Operations Classified as Assets Held for Sale, for additional information.
19. Income Taxes
Income tax benefit from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was $1.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was $14.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively, which in the current period resulted primarily from anticipated use of net operating loss carrybacks as allowed by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The Company’s effective tax rate for the current period differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the effect of state income taxes, non-deductible executive compensation and the tax provisions of the CARES Act.
The uncertain tax positions did not change during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by U.S. federal, foreign, state and local tax authorities for tax years 2000 forward. The Company is currently under audit by the California Franchise Tax Board (the “CFTB”) for the tax years 2009 through 2015 and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) for the tax year 2016. The timing of the resolutions to these audits and the amount to be ultimately paid, if any, is uncertain. Final resolution of these complex matters could have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company believes its accrual for income tax liabilities is appropriate based on past experience, interpretations of tax law and judgments; however, the outcome of these audits could result in the payment of tax amounts that substantially differ from the amounts the Company has reserved resulting in incremental expense or a reversal of the Company’s reserves in a future period. At this time, the Company does not anticipate a material change in the unrecognized tax benefits related to the CFTB or IRS audits that would affect the effective tax rate or deferred tax assets over the next 12 months.

The Company computes net (loss) income per diluted share using the sum of the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares used in the computation of net (loss) income per diluted share include shares that may be issued pursuant to outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards in each case, on a weighted-average basis for the period they were outstanding, including, if applicable, the underlying shares using the treasury stock method.
The December 2021 Notes and the December 2024 Notes allow for the settlement entirely or partially in cash, and are accounted for under the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share except to the extent that the conversion value of the notes exceeds their principal amount. The effect of which, for diluted earnings per share purposes, is that only the number of shares of common stock that would be necessary to settle such excess, if the Company elected to settle such excess in shares, are included in the computation.
December 2021 Notes and December 2024 Notes Capped Call Potential Dilution
In November 2016, the Company issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal of the December 2021 Notes. The Company entered into an Exchange Transaction in September 2019 through which it exchanged a portion of the December 2021 Notes for the December 2024 Notes with a later maturity of December 2024. Both the notes that mature in December 2021 and those that mature in December 2024 provide in certain situations for the conversion of the outstanding principal amount into shares of the Company’s common stock at a predefined conversion rate. In conjunction with the issuance of the December 2021 Notes and the issuance of the December 2024 Notes pursuant to the Exchange Transaction, the Company entered into capped call transactions with a hedge counterparty. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution, and/or offset, to an extent, the cash payments the Company may choose to make in excess of the principal amount, upon conversion

(Unaudited)
of the December 2021 Notes or the December 2024 Notes. The Company has excluded the capped call transaction from the net (loss) income per diluted share computation as such securities would have an anti-dilutive effect and those securities should be considered separately rather than in the aggregate in determining whether their effect on net (loss) income per diluted share would be dilutive or anti-dilutive. For additional information regarding the conversion rates and the capped call transaction related to the Company’s December 2021 Notes and December 2024 Notes, see Note 11, Convertible Senior Notes.
Anti-Dilutive Effect of Restricted Stock Awards and Stock Options
For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company excluded approximately 0.1 million and 1.1 million shares underlying restricted stock awards, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company excluded approximately 0.1 million and 0.8 million shares underlying restricted stock awards, respectively, in each case calculated on a weighted-average basis, from its net (loss) income per diluted share calculations because their effect was anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company excluded approximately 11.7 million and 12.7 million shares underlying outstanding stock options, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company excluded approximately 11.7 million and 10.4 million shares underlying outstanding stock options, respectively, in each case calculated on a weighted-average basis, from its net (loss) income per diluted share calculations because their effect was anti-dilutive.
21. Subsequent Events
Noden
On July 30, 2020, the Company signed a definitive agreement for the sale of the Noden subsidiaries to Stanley Capital. The total value of the transaction will result in payments to the Company of up to $48.3 million in cash. After taking into account the expected adjustments for transaction expenses, indebtedness and working capital, payments to the Company are expected to be approximately $12.0 million in connection with the closing of the transaction. The agreement provides for an additional $33.0 million to be paid to the Company in twelve equal quarterly installments from January 2021 to October 2023. The agreement also provides the Company with the potential for 2 additional contingent payments totaling $3.3 million. Upon closing, the Company will be released of its guarantee to Novartis in connection with Noden’s supply agreement.
PDL Parental Financial Support for LENSAR
On August 4, 2020, PDL issued a new parental support letter to LENSAR’s management and board of directors committing financial support to LENSAR up to $20.0 million through August 5, 2021. This letter replaced the letter dated June 19, 2020 discussed in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies.

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 instead 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 investments. We further announced in December 2019 that we would explore a variety of potential transactions in connection with the monetization strategy, including a whole Company sale, divestiture of our assets, spin-offs of operating entities, merger opportunities 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 February 2020, 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 at our next Annual Meeting of Stockholders as permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). In the event the proposal is approved by stockholders and 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 intend to file a Certificate of Dissolution with the Secretary of State of Delaware after monetizing our key assets and then proceed to wind-down and dissolve the Company in accordance with the DGCL.
Pursuant to our 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
44
reduced general and administrative expenses as well as provide faster returns to stockholders. While, as noted herein, we are cognizant that an accelerated timeline may provide greater and faster returns to our stockholders, we also recognize that the duration and extent of the public health issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic make it possible, and perhaps probable, that the timing of the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, including the key assets, and therefore the timing of the dissolution, may require additional time to execute. We will continue to assess the market for our assets so as to determine the appropriate time to sell each of the assets of the Company.
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 monetization and debt facilities, and, in 2016, we began acquiring commercial-stage products and launching specialized companies dedicated to the commercialization of these products. In 2019, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Evofem, pursuant to which we invested $60.0 million in a private placement of securities. These investments provided funding for Evofem’s pre-commercial activities for PhexxiTM, its investigational, non-hormonal, on-demand prescription contraceptive gel for women. Overall, we consummated a number of transactions, of which the following are active and included in continuing operations:

Medical Devices
LENSAR
LENSAR is a commercial-stage medical device company focused on designing, developing and marketing an advanced femtosecond laser system for the treatment of cataracts and the management of pre-existing or surgically induced corneal astigmatism. LENSAR’s femtosecond laser uses proprietary 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 95 granted patents in the United States and the rest of the world and over 55 pending patent applications in the United States and rest of the world.
Cataract surgery is the highest volume surgical procedure performed worldwide; prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, 30 million surgeries were projected to be completed in 2020, the majority of which were expected to use conventional phacoemulsification techniques. LENSAR is currently focusing its research and development efforts on a next-generation, integrated workstation, ALLY, which combines an enhanced femtosecond laser with a phacoemulsification system in a compact, mobile workstation that is designed to allow surgeons to perform a femtosecond laser assisted cataract procedure in a single operating room using a single device. 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. LENSAR expects this combination product would be a meaningful
45
advancement and will provide significant administrative and financial benefit to a surgeon’s practice at a cost less than the cost of our current system.
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.

Strategic Positions
Evofem
We invested $60.0 million in Evofem in the second quarter of 2019, representing approximately a 27% ownership interest in the company as of March 31, 2020. The transaction was structured in two tranches. The first tranche comprised $30.0 million, which was funded on April 11, 2019. We invested an additional $30.0 million in a second tranche on June 10, 2019, alongside two existing Evofem stockholders, who each invested an additional $10.0 million. On May 21, 2020 the Company announced that it had completed the distribution of all of the Company’s 13,333,334 shares of common stock of Evofem to our stockholders, which represented approximately 26.7% of the outstanding shares of Evofem common stock as of the close of business on May 15, 2020. Following the Distribution, we continue to hold warrants to purchase up to 3,333,334 shares of Evofem common stock.
Evofem is a commercial-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 for its first commercial product PhexxiTM (L-lactic acid, citric acid and potassium bitartrate) for hormone-free birth control. On May 22, 2020 PhexxiTM was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the prevention of pregnancy in women who choose to use on demand methods for their contraceptive needs.
As of June 30, 2020, the Strategic Positions segment was classified as discontinued operations.
Pharmaceutical
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 intolerant. Tekturna and Rasilez are not indicated for use with ARBs and ACEIs in patients with diabetes or renal impairment and are contraindicated for use by pregnant women. In March
46
2019, we launched an authorized generic (“AG”) form of Tekturna, aliskiren hemifumarate 150 mg and 300 mg tablets with the same drug formulation as Tekturna. The AG is distributed 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 for Tekturna lists U.S. Patent No. 8,617,595, which covers certain compositions comprising aliskiren, together with other formulation components, and will expire on February 19, 2026. The FDA Orange Book for Tekturna HCT lists U.S. patent Nos. 8,618,172, which expires on July 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. 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 provide for extended protection. These SPCs generally expired in April of 2020. European Patent Publication Number 2 305 232, which covers certain pharmaceutical compositions comprising aliskiren and HCT, will expire in December 2021.
On July 30, 2020, we announced the signing of a definitive agreement for the sale of 100% of the outstanding stock in our wholly owned subsidiaries Noden Pharma DAC and Noden Pharma USA. The total value of the transaction will result in payments to us of up to $48.25 million in cash.
Income Generating Assets
We have pursued income generating assets when such assets can be acquired on terms that we believe allow us to increase return to our stockholders. The income generating assets typically consist 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. While we currently maintain a portfolio of income generating assets, our intention is to no longer pursue these transactions and instead focus on our monetization strategy.

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.
47
Our royalty rights are classified as held for sale. We record the royalty rights at fair value using discounted cash flows related to the expected future cash flows to be 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.
At June 30, 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. At June 30, 2020, we had two note 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 June 30, 2020, we had one equity investment outstanding, Alphaeon Class A common stock, received in connection with the loans made to LENSAR by the Company prior to its acquisition of LENSAR.
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. The full extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and the estimates of the impact on the Company’s business may change based on new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets.
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, 2019 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.
During the quarter 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. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we distributed the shares of Evofem common stock within the Strategic Positions segment and reclassified the financial results of that segment as discontinued operations and the remaining assets are reclassified as held for sale. Assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale when all of the following criteria for a plan of sale have been met: (1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the assets; (2) the assets are available for immediate sale, in their present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; (3) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the assets have been initiated; (4) the sale of the assets is probable and is expected to be completed within one year; (5) the assets are being actively marketed for a price that is reasonable in relation to their current fair value; and (6) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn. When all of these criteria have been met, the assets (and liabilities) are classified as held for sale in the balance sheet for the current and comparative reporting periods. Assets classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization of assets ceases upon designation as held for sale. The assets and liabilities held for sale are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale, respectively. The profits and losses are presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations for the current and prior periods.
During the six months ended June 30, 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
49
December 31, 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 April 2020, the FASB issued a staff question-and-answer document, “Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” (the “COVID-19 Q&A”), to address certain frequently-asked questions pertaining to lease concessions arising from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing lease guidance requires entities to determine if a lease concession was a result of a new arrangement reached with the lessee (which would be addressed under the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (which would not fall under the lease modification framework). The COVID-19 Q&A clarifies that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief granted in light of the effects of COVID-19 is a lease or obligations of the lease. This election is available for concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same or less than the total payments required by the original contract.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, LENSAR entered into agreements with 22 customers through which LENSAR agreed to waive monthly rental and minimum monthly license fees ranging from one to four months for an aggregate of $0.9 million of revenue, consisting of $0.5 million in Product revenue, $0.3 million in Lease revenue, and $0.1 million in Service revenue. In return for these concessions the related contracts were extended by the same number of months waived. No amounts of accounts receivable or notes receivable were deemed uncollectible due to COVID-19 during the quarter ended June 30, 2020; however, the Company considered the effects of COVID-19 in estimating its credit losses for the period.
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
50
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 quarter 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. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we distributed the Evofem common stock and reclassified the investment as a discontinued operation. 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.

(1) Our Product revenue, net, Lease revenue, and Service revenue consists entirely of revenue from our Medical Devices segment. We record Product revenue, net from our LENSAR product sales which include LENSAR® Laser Systems, disposable consumables, procedure licenses, training, and installation. We record Lease revenue from the lease of LENSAR® Laser Systems. We record Service revenue from warranty and maintenance services.
Product sales for our Pharmaceutical segment are included in (Loss) income from discontinued operations and are net of estimated product returns, pricing discounts, including rebates offered pursuant to mandatory federal and state government programs, chargebacks, prompt pay discounts, distribution fees and co-pay assistance for product sales each period. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations Classified as Assets Held for Sale, for additional information on our Pharmaceutical product sales.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
Total revenues were $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared with $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Our total revenues decreased by 30%, or $2.2 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, when compared to the same period of 2019. The decrease was driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Medical Devices segment and the associated decline in elective surgical procedures in North America and the rest of the world.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Total revenues were $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our total revenues decreased by 21%, or $2.9 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, when
51
compared to the same period of 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Medical Devices segment and the associated decline in elective surgical procedures.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
Total operating expenses were $19.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared with $16.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Our operating expenses increased 14%, or $2.3 million, for the three month period ended June 30, 2020, when compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily a result of:
•higher general and administrative expenses, primarily due to increased professional fees,
•higher research and development in our Medical Devices segment as LENSAR pursues its next generation, integrated workstation, ALLYTM, which combines an enhanced femtosecond laser with a phacoemulsification system in a compact, mobile workstation, partially offset by
•lower cost of product revenue, due to decreased sales in our Medical Devices segment for the above-noted reasons, and
•lower sales and marketing expenses in our Medical Devices segment.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are summarized in the table below:

________________
(1) No general and administrative operating expenses were attributable to the Pharmaceutical or Strategic Positions segments for the three months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019. See Assets held for sale and discontinued operations below, for additional information on our Pharmaceutical segment.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Total operating expenses were $56.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with $31.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our operating expenses increased 79%, or $25.1 million, for the six month period ended June 30, 2020, when compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily a result of:
•provisions under our Wind-Down Retention Plan, which, as a result of the adoption of the Plan of Liquidation, accelerated the vesting of outstanding stock awards for employees in the first quarter of 2020,
•higher general and administrative expenses of $5.5 million, or 32% from the prior period, primarily due to increased professional fees, and
•higher research and development expenses in our Medical Devices segment, partially offset by
•lower cost of product revenue, due to decreased sales in our Medical Devices segment.
After we announced our monetization strategy, we recognized that our ability to execute on our plan and optimize returns to our stockholders depended to a large 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 June 30, 2020, we recorded a severance liability of $6.0 million. Expenses associated with severance payments and accruals are reflected in Severance and retention on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Wind Down Retention Plan also provides that, consistent with the existing terms of the our Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”), the vesting of all outstanding equity awards held by participants as of the date the Wind Down Retention Plan was adopted will be accelerated upon the earlier of: (i) a termination of the participant’s employment with the Company either by the Company without cause or by the participant for good reason or (ii) the consummation of a change in control (as defined in the Equity Plan) of the Company. In addition, the post-termination exercise period for all outstanding stock options will be extended until their expiration date. In connection with the Board adopting the Plan of Liquidation in the first quarter of 2020, all of the outstanding and unvested stock options and restricted stock granted to our employees, executive officers and directors, with the exception of certain outstanding awards under the 2016/20 Long-Term Incentive Plan, accelerated and vested under the change in control definition in the Equity Plan. The expense associated with the accelerated vesting, totaled $15.7 million and is also reflected in Severance and retention on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

N/M Not meaningful
Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
Net non-operating expense decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to:
•lower interest expense in conjunction with the extinguishment of a substantial portion of our convertible notes, partially offset by
•a decrease in Interest and other income due to lower cash balances in the current period.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Net non-operating expense decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to:
•lower interest expense in conjunction with the extinguishment of a substantial portion of our convertible notes, partially offset by
•lower Interest and other income due to lower cash balances in the current period, and
•a loss on extinguishment of convertible notes recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2020 with no comparable amount in the prior year period.
54
Income Taxes
Income tax benefit from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was $1.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was $14.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively, which resulted primarily from anticipated use of net operating loss carrybacks as allowed by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. Our effective tax rate for the current period differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the effect of state income taxes, non-deductible executive compensation and the tax provisions of the CARES Act.
The uncertain tax positions did not change during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Our income tax returns are subject to examination by U.S. federal, foreign, state and local tax authorities for tax years 2000 forward. We are currently under audit by the California Franchise Tax Board (the “CFTB”) for the tax years 2009 through 2015 and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) for the tax year 2016. The timing of the audit resolution and the amount to be ultimately paid, if any, is uncertain. Final resolution of these complex matters could have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe our accrual for income tax liabilities is appropriate based on past experience, interpretations of tax law and judgments; however, the outcome of these audits could result in the payment of tax amounts that substantially differ from the amounts we have reserved 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.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
Loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $37.4 million, a $40.9 million decrease from the $3.5 million of income recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The unfavorable change was primarily a result of:
•A $58.4 million change in the fair value of our equity affiliate from an unrecognized gain of $45.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to a $12.9 million unrecognized loss in the three months ended June 30, 2020.
•A $16.8 million loss recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2020 associated with reducing the estimated fair value of Noden as informed by ongoing negotiations for the disposition of the entity.
•A $2.2 million, or 22%, decline in revenue from our Pharmaceutical segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as 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. The decrease in revenue from our Pharmaceutical segment in the United States for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is due to the increased sales of our authorized generic and lower sales of our branded drug as compared to the second quarter of 2019.
56
These amounts were partially offset by:
•Revenue from our royalty right assets of negative $16.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared with a negative $40.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The difference was primarily due to a larger decrease in fair value in the second quarter of 2019 primarily resulting from the $60.0 million AcelRx write-down as compared with a $22.9 million write down in the second quarter of 2020 for certain royalty assets as informed by bids received during our monetization process. The decrease in fair value reduced our estimated cost to sell the assets by $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2020.
•The royalty right assets in our Income Generating Assets segment generated cash flows of $11.5 million and a loss from the net change in fair value of $27.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared with cash flows of $20.1 million and a loss in the net change in fair value of $60.5 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2019.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $50.2 million, a $68.8 million decrease from the $18.6 million of income recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The unfavorable change was primarily a result of:
•A $72.2 million change in the fair value of our equity affiliate from an unrecognized gain of $45.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to a $26.7 million unrecognized loss in the six months ended June 30, 2020.
•A $23.5 million write down of our Pharmaceutical segment in the current year due to a decrease in the estimated fair value of the entity.
•A $7.2 million, or 24%, decline in revenue from our Pharmaceutical segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in revenue from our Pharmaceutical segment reflects lower net revenues in the United States and the rest of the world. The decrease in revenue from our Pharmaceutical segment in the United States for the six months ended June 30, 2020 reflects the introduction of our authorized generic of Tekturna and a third-party generic of aliskiren late in the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in revenue for the rest of the world is due to lower sales volume of Rasilez in certain territories.
57
These amounts were partially offset by:
•Revenue from the royalty right assets in our Income Generating Assets segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of negative $6.9 million as compared with negative revenue of $28.1 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. The difference was primarily due to a larger decrease in fair value in the second quarter of 2019 resulting from the $60.0 million AcelRx write-down as compared to the current year six month period, which includes the fair value adjustments as informed by bids received during our monetization process.
•The royalty right assets generated cash flows of $25.0 million in the current period compared to $32.7 million in the prior period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have previously financed our operations primarily through royalty and other license-related revenues, public and private placements of debt and equity securities, interest income on invested capital and cash generated from pharmaceutical and medical device product sales. We plan to continue to finance our operations in the near term primarily through existing cash and cash proceeds from our monetization efforts and our royalty rights assets and medical device product sales until such assets are disposed.
In September 2019, we engaged financial and legal advisors and initiated a review of our strategy. In December 2019, we disclosed that we planned to halt the execution of our growth strategy, cease making additional strategic transactions and investments and pursue a formal process to unlock the value of our portfolio by monetizing our assets and ultimately returning net proceeds to our stockholders. Over the subsequent months, our Board and management analyzed, together with its outside financial and legal advisors, how to best capture value pursuant to its monetization strategy and best return the significant intrinsic value of the assets in its portfolio to the stockholders. In February 2020, our Board approved a plan of complete liquidation of our assets and passed a resolution to seek stockholder approval to dissolve the Company under Delaware law at its next annual meeting of the stockholders. In the event that our Board concludes that the whole Company sale process is unlikely to maximize the value that can be returned to the stockholders from our monetization process, we would, if approved by the stockholders, file a certificate of dissolution in Delaware and proceed to wind-down and dissolve the Company in accordance with Delaware law. Pursuant to its monetization strategy, we are exploring a variety of potential transactions, including a whole Company sale, divestiture of assets, spin-offs of operating entities, merger opportunities or a combination thereof. In addition, we have analyzed, and continue to analyze, the optimal mechanisms for returning value to stockholders in a tax-efficient manner, including via share repurchases, cash dividends and other distributions of assets. We have not set a definitive timeline and intend to pursue monetization in a disciplined and cost-effective manner to maximize returns to stockholders. We recognize, however, that accelerating the timeline, while continuing to optimize asset value, could increase returns to stockholders due to reduced general and administrative expenses as well as provide faster returns to stockholders. While we are cognizant that an accelerated timeline may provide greater and faster returns to our stockholders, we also
59
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 distributing the remaining net proceeds to our stockholders.
Our future capital requirements are difficult to forecast and will depend upon many factors, including the type of distributions we make, the amount of net cash proceeds we receive, after transaction costs, and the time it takes to monetize our assets. Our future capital requirements will also depend on the amount of common stock and convertible notes we repurchase under our repurchase program.
The general cash needs of our Medical Devices, Strategic Positions, Pharmaceutical and Income Generating Assets segments can vary significantly.
•In our Medical Devices segment, the primary factor determining cash needs is the funding of operations, which we expect to continue to expand as the business grows, and enhancing our product offerings through the research and development of our next generation device which will integrate a femtosecond laser and a phacoemulsification system in a single, compact workstation. While we continue to pursue various strategic alternatives for LENSAR as part of our monetization efforts, as disclosed on July 17,2020, LENSAR has confidentially submitted a registration statement on Form 10 to the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to a potential spin-off as a stand-alone publicly-traded company. In connection with the filing of the Form 10, we have issued a letter to LENSAR’s management and board of directors committing financial support to LENSAR up to $20.0 million through August 5, 2021. We believe that this commitment will adequately capitalize LENSAR and allow it to resume its growth trajectory and to successfully launch its next generation device.
•In our Pharmaceutical segment, cash needs have historically been driven primarily by material purchases. See further discussion below regarding this segment.
•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 and convertible notes.
On December 9, 2019, we announced that our Board authorized the repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and convertible notes up to an aggregate value of $200.0 million pursuant to a share repurchase program. On December 16, 2019, we announced that our Board approved a $75.0 million increase to this repurchase program. Repurchases under this repurchase program can 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. Common stock and convertible note repurchases were also eligible to 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. In consideration of the impact and uncertainty introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic on our monetization process, the 10b5-1 plan was terminated on May 31, 2020 and no common stock was repurchased after this date. All shares of common stock repurchased under our repurchase program were retired and restored to authorized but unissued shares of common stock. All convertible notes repurchased under the program will be retired.
As of June 30, 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 June 30, 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 12.3 million shares of our common stock under this repurchase program during the six months ended June 30, 2020, for an aggregate purchase price of $39.4 million, or an average cost of $3.20 per share, including trading commissions. This repurchase program may be suspended 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
60
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 $105.4 million and $169.0 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, representing a decrease of $63.6 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to:
•the repurchase of common stock for $39.4 million,
•the net cash used for the repurchase of our convertible notes of $18.0 million, and
•cash used for operating activities of $33.8 million, partially offset by
•proceeds from royalty right payments of $25.0 million.
We believe that cash on hand and cash generated from future revenues and from asset sales, net of operating expenses, debt service and income taxes, will be sufficient to fund our operations until all net proceeds are distributed to our stockholders. Our continued success is dependent on our ability to execute on our planned strategy to monetize our assets, in order to return capital to our stockholders and service our remaining debt.
In addition, we have cash and cash equivalents at our Pharmaceutical segment of $19.8 million and $24.5 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As noted above, on July 30, 2020, we entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of our Pharmaceutical segment. The cash and cash equivalents represent balances maintained by our Pharmaceutical segment and will remain with the buyer upon consummation of the sale and applied to the inventory commitment with Novartis. Upon closing, we will be released of our guarantee to Novartis under Noden’s supply agreement.
The total value of the transaction will result in payments to us of up to $48.25 million in cash comprised of $12.0 million in connection with the closing of the transaction and an additional $33.0 million to be paid in twelve equal quarterly installments from January 2021 to October 2023. The agreement also provides the Company with the potential for two additional contingent payments totaling $3.3 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 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 June 30, 2020, our outstanding notes consisted of notes due in December 2021 and December 2024, which in the aggregate totaled $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 have actively repurchased the convertible senior notes in privately negotiated transactions and in the open market using cash on hand.

In connection with the spin-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-off date. In April 2010, Abbott Laboratories acquired Facet and later renamed the entity AbbVie Biotherapeutics, Inc. (“AbbVie”). If AbbVie were to default under its lease obligations, we could be held liable by the landlord as a co-tenant and, thus, we have in substance guaranteed the payments under the lease agreements for the Redwood City facilities. As of June 30, 2020, the total lease payments for the duration of the guarantee, which runs through December 2021, are approximately $16.9 million. For additional information regarding our lease guarantee, see Note 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 the active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”). In May 2019, Noden DAC and Novartis entered into an amended supply agreement pursuant to which Novartis will supply to Noden DAC a bulk tableted form of the Noden Products through 2020 and API through June 2021. While the supply agreement provides that the parties will agree to reasonable accommodations with respect to changes in firm orders, we expect that Noden DAC will meet the requirements of the supply agreement, unless otherwise negotiated. 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 $37.4 million through June 2021, which is guaranteed by the Company. On July 30, 2020 we announced the signing of a definitive agreement for the sale of 100% of the outstanding stock in Noden Pharma DAC and Noden Pharma USA. Upon closing, we will be released of our guarantee to Novartis in connection with Noden’s supply agreement.
LENSAR entered into various supply agreements for the manufacture and supply of certain components. The supply agreement commits LENSAR to a minimum purchase obligation of approximately $5.3 million, of which $3.9 million is due over the next twelve months. We have guaranteed up to $1.0 million of this commitment. We expect that LENSAR will meet this requirement.
PDL Parental Financial Support for LENSAR
On July 17, 2020, the Company announced that LENSAR confidentially submitted a registration statement on Form 10 to the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to a potential spin-off as a stand-alone publicly-traded company. We continue to pursue various strategic alternatives for LENSAR in addition to a spin-off.
On June 19, 2020, in connection with the confidential Form 10 filing for the potential spin-off, we issued a letter to LENSAR’s management and board of directors committing financial support to LENSAR up to $20.0 million through June 20, 2021. This letter was replaced with a new letter issued on August 4, 2020 committing financial support to LENSAR up to $20.0 million through August 5, 2021.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The information set forth in Note 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
Except for the additional risk factors 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, 2019.
The COVID-19 outbreak may adversely impact our business.
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. For our Medical Devices segment, the respective commercial teams of certain of the third parties that act as our distributors in international markets have chosen or have been forced to take similar action, and those or other distributors may choose or be forced to take similar action in the future. Neither we, nor our distributors have significant experience operating with the majority of our respective work forces working from home, and this may disrupt standard operations for us or them, the magnitude of which will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the restrictions and other limitations on our respective abilities to conduct business in the ordinary course. In addition, having our employees working from home may increase our cybersecurity risk, create data accessibility concerns and make us more susceptible to communication disruptions, any of which could adversely impact our business operations or delay necessary interactions with local and federal regulators, ethics committees, manufacturing sites, research or clinical trial sites and other important agencies and contractors. 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, many jurisdictions have imposed, or in the future may impose, “shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines or similar orders or restrictions to control the spread of COVID-19 by restricting non-essential activities, including the suspension of elective surgeries and various business operations. These types of orders and restrictions have resulted in a significant decrease in the number of and demand for non-essential or elective medical procedures, including cataract surgeries, since the outbreak of the pandemic and have had a significant negative impact on LENSAR’s operations. 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.
65
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 is affecting, and will continue to affect, both in the near term and in the future, the geographies 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 or significantly delaying such sales or other dispositions. 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 development, effectiveness and availability of a vaccine;, the duration of the pandemic, travel restrictions and social distancing in the United States and other countries; voluntary and government imposed business closures or business disruptions; bankruptcies of our customers or potential customers and suppliers; 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.
We may be unable to accurately forecast customer demand and our inventory levels.
We generally do not maintain large volumes of finished goods and anticipating demand for our products may be challenging as cataract surgeon demand and adoption rates can be unpredictable. For example, as use of our LENSAR Laser System is adopted by more cataract surgeons, we anticipate greater fluctuations in demand for our products, which makes demand forecasting more difficult. Our forecasts are based on management’s judgment and assumptions, each of which may introduce error into our estimates. Additionally, uncertainty regarding the severity, duration and future government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic increases the uncertainty of our forecasts. If we underestimate customer demand or if insufficient manufacturing capacity is available, we would miss revenue opportunities and potentially lose market share, damage our customer relationships and impact the potential value our stockholders could receive from the sale or other disposition of these assets. Conversely, if we overestimate customer demand, our excess or obsolete inventory may increase significantly, which would reduce our gross margin and adversely affect our financial results.
Our insurance policies are expensive and protect us only from some business risks, which leaves us exposed to significant uninsured liabilities.
We do not carry insurance for all categories of risk that our business may encounter. Although we carry product liability insurance in the United States, we can give no assurance that such coverage will be available or adequate to satisfy any claims. Product liability insurance is expensive, subject to significant deductibles and exclusions, and may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain or maintain insurance at an acceptable cost or on acceptable terms with adequate coverage or otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, we could be exposed to significant liabilities. A product liability claim, recall or other claim with respect to uninsured liabilities or for amounts in excess of insured liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Defending a suit, regardless of its merit or eventual outcome, could be costly, could divert management’s attention from our business and might result in adverse publicity, which could result in reduced acceptance of our products in the market, product recalls or market withdrawals.
We do not carry specific hazardous waste insurance coverage, and our insurance policies generally exclude coverage for damages and fines arising from hazardous waste exposure or contamination. Accordingly, in the event of contamination or
66
injury, we could be held liable for damages or be penalized with fines in an amount exceeding our resources, and our clinical trials or regulatory approvals could be suspended.
We do not know, however, if we will be able to maintain existing insurance with adequate levels of coverage. Any significant uninsured liability may require us to pay substantial amounts, which would negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Failure to protect our information technology infrastructure against cyber-based attacks, network security breaches, service interruptions or data corruption could materially disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business and operating results.
We rely on our information technology systems to effectively manage sales and marketing data, accounting and financial functions, inventory management, product development tasks, clinical data, customer service and technical support functions. Our information technology systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, fires, floods and other natural disasters, terrorist attacks, power losses, computer system or data network failures, security breaches, data corruption and cyber-based attacks, including malicious software programs or other attacks, which have been attempted against us in the past. In addition, a variety of our software systems are cloud-based data management applications, hosted by third-party service providers whose security and information technology systems are subject to similar risks.
The failure to protect either our or our service providers’ information technology infrastructure could disrupt our entire operation or result in decreased sales and leases of our products, increased overhead costs, product shortages, loss or misuse of proprietary or confidential information, intellectual property or sensitive or personal information, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business is subject to the risk of natural disasters, adverse weather events and other catastrophic events, and to interruption by manmade problems such as terrorism.
Our business is vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, fires, floods, power losses, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks, acts of war, human errors and similar events. The third-party systems and operations on which we rely are subject to similar risks. For example, a significant natural disaster, such as an earthquake, fire or flood, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results, and our insurance coverage may be insufficient to compensate us for losses that may occur.
Acts of terrorism could also cause disruptions in our businesses, consumer demand or the economy as a whole. We may not have sufficient protection or recovery plans in some circumstances, such as if a natural disaster affects locations that store a significant amount of our inventory. Any such damage or interruptions could negatively affect our ability to run our business, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
We may not be able to realize certain expected tax benefits.
During 2020, we have engaged and may continue to engage in certain transactions that may result in the recognition of ordinary tax losses. Such losses, through the recently enacted provisions of the CARES Act, could generate meaningful tax benefits to the Company as the CARES Act permits taxpayers to carry back five years any net operating losses arising in a taxable year beginning in 2018, 2019 or 2020. In connection with our monetization process, we expect to execute transactions that may result in ordinary tax losses that could be applied to prior tax years in which PDL was a substantial tax payor. There can be no assurance that such transactions will be completed or that such tax benefits will be realized as expected. Any failure to obtain such expected tax benefits under the CARES Act may increase our effective tax rate and reduce the funds available for distribution to our stockholders.
