4. Discontinued Operations

On January 7, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “Dunkirk Agreement”) with ImmunityBio, Inc. (the "Dunkirk Buyer") whereby the Company agreed to sell to the Dunkirk Buyer its leasehold interest in a manufacturing facility in Dunkirk, New York (the “Dunkirk Facility”) and certain other related assets, as described below, in exchange for reimbursement of certain expenditures that the Company made in the Dunkirk Facility totaling $40.0 million. The transaction closed on February 14, 2022 and was subject to approval from the Company's lender, Oaktree. The provisions of this approval included prepayment of the senior secured loans, as described in Note 11 - Debt and Lease Obligations. The Dunkirk Buyer has agreed to manufacture 503B products for the Company on mutually agreed upon commercial terms.

In addition to the leasehold interest in the Dunkirk Facility, the Dunkirk Buyer purchased the Company’s interests in certain leased manufacturing equipment and personal property, and owned personal property and inventory at the Dunkirk Facility, along with the Company’s rights in and obligations under its agreements relating to the Dunkirk Facility with Empire State Development ("ESD"), Fort Schuyler Management Corporation ("FSMC"), and County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency ("CCIDA") and other parties (collectively, the "Dunkirk Operations"). The Dunkirk Buyer assumed all capital expenditure and hiring obligations of the Company related to the Dunkirk Operations pursuant to the Company’s existing agreements with ESD and FSMC. The Company did not assign any of its rights to its corporate headquarters in Buffalo, New York, under the Dunkirk Agreement and retained all of its rights and obligations with respect to its corporate headquarters.

As of June 30, 2022, the Dunkirk Operations met all conditions required to be classified as discontinued operations. Therefore, the operating results of the Dunkirk Operations are reported as gain (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The assets and liabilities related to the Dunkirk Operations are reported as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the accompanying balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. These assets are recorded at the lesser of cost or fair value less cost to sell. The Dunkirk Operations have historically been included within the Global Supply Chain Platform on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, on July 7, 2022, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with TiHe Capital (Beijing) Co. Ltd. (the "API Buyer") pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 100% of the equity interests in Chongqing Taihao Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Athenex Pharmaceuticals (Chongqing) Limited (the “Equity Interests”) for RMB124.4 million, or approximately $19 million (“EPA Purchase Price”). The Equity Interests primarily represent the Company’s ownership of its active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) manufacturing business in China, including the right to operate the Taihao API facility in Chongqing, China, and its lease for the Sintaho API facility in Chongqing, China, with Chongqing Maliu Riverside Development and Investment Co., LTD (“CQ”), (collectively "China API Operations"). At the closing of this transaction (“Closing Date”) the Buyer will pay at least 70% of the EPA Purchase Price to the Company in cash. The remainder of the EPA Purchase Price will be paid in cash, with 20% of the EPA Purchase Price to be paid within three months after the Closing Date and the remaining balance of the EPA Purchase Price to be paid within six months after the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, the Company and the Buyer are expected to enter into a supply agreement and an agreement granting the Buyer the right of first negotiation for certain of the Company’s products in China. The deal is subject to customary closing conditions, including obtaining certain regulatory approvals in China. Refer to Note 19 - Subsequent Events for additional information.
