1. Nature of Business

Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc. (the “Company” or “Collegium”) was incorporated in Delaware in April 2002 and then reincorporated in Virginia in July 2014. The Company has its principal operations in Stoughton, Massachusetts. The Company’s mission is to build a leading, diversified specialty pharmaceutical company committed to improving the lives of people living with serious medical conditions. The Company’s portfolio includes the following commercial products: Xtampza ER, Nucynta ER and Nucynta IR (the “Nucynta Products”), Belbuca, Symproic, and Elyxyb.

Xtampza ER

The Company’s first product, Xtampza ER, is an abuse-deterrent, extended-release, oral formulation of oxycodone. In April 2016, the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) approved the Company’s new drug application (“NDA”) for Xtampza ER for the management of pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment and for which alternative treatment options are inadequate. In June 2016, the Company announced the commercial launch of Xtampza ER.

Nucynta Products

In December 2017, the Company entered into a Commercialization Agreement (the “Nucynta Commercialization Agreement”) with Assertio Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly known as Depomed) (“Assertio”), pursuant to which the Company acquired the right to commercialize the Nucynta Products in the United States. In February 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Assertio (the “Nucynta Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company acquired from Assertio certain assets related to the Nucynta Products (the “Nucynta Acquisition”), including the license from Grünenthal GmbH (“Grünenthal”). Upon closing, the Nucynta Commercialization Agreement was effectively terminated and the Company’s only remaining royalty obligation is to pay 14% of net sales of the Nucynta Products directly to Grünenthal. Nucynta ER is an extended-release formulation of tapentadol that is indicated for the management of pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment, including neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy in adults, and for which alternate treatment options are inadequate. Nucynta IR is an immediate-release formulation of tapentadol that is indicated for the management of acute pain severe enough to require an opioid analgesic and for which alternative treatments are inadequate in adults.

Belbuca, Symproic, and Elyxyb

On March 22, 2022 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (“BDSI”), a specialty pharmaceutical company working to deliver innovative therapies for individuals living with serious and debilitating chronic conditions, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of February 14, 2022, by and among the Company, Bristol Acquisition Company Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Purchaser”), and BDSI, a Delaware corporation (the “BDSI Acquisition”). Upon closing, the Company acquired the Belbuca, Symproic, and Elyxyb products. The Company began shipping and recognizing product sales related to Belbuca, Symproic, and Elyxyb after the closing. Belbuca is a buccal film that contains buprenorphine, a Schedule III opioid, that was approved by the FDA in October 2015 for use in patients with pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment for which alternative options are inadequate. Symproic was approved by the FDA in March 2017 for the treatment of Opioid-Induced Constipation (“OIC”) in adult patients with chronic non-cancer pain, including patients with chronic pain related to prior cancer or its treatment who do not require frequent (e.g., weekly) opioid dosage escalation. Elyxyb was approved by the FDA in May 2020 for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults.

The Company’s operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. The principal risks include inability to continue successfully commercializing products, changing market conditions for products and development of competing products, changing regulatory environment and reimbursement landscape, product-related litigation, manufacture of

adequate commercial inventory, inability to secure adequate supplies of active pharmaceutical ingredients, key personnel retention, protection of intellectual property, and patent infringement litigation.

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2022, together with expected cash inflows from the commercialization of its products, will enable the Company to fund its operating expenses, debt service and capital expenditure requirements under its current business plan for at least one year from the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.
