Sale of New Jersey Net Operating Losses

 

The Company received approval to sell a portion of the Company’s New Jersey net operating losses (“NOLs”) as part of the Technology Business Tax Certificate Program sponsored by The New Jersey Economic Development Authority. Under the program, emerging biotechnology companies with unused NOLs and unused research and development credits are allowed to sell these benefits to other companies. On February 27, 2014, the Company completed the sale of NOLs totaling approximately $39.1 million for net proceeds of approximately $3.6 million. Such proceeds are reflected as a tax benefit for nine months ended September 30, 2014.
