Product Licenses
The Company has obtained exclusive licenses from third parties for proprietary rights to support the product candidates in the Company’s neurology and psychiatry portfolio. Under these license agreements, the Company may be required to pay certain amounts upon the achievement of defined milestones. If these products are ultimately commercialized, the Company is
also obligated to pay royalties to third parties, as percentage of net product sales, for each respective product under license agreement.
Royalty Agreement
In the third quarter of 2014, the Company received a $30.0 million payment pursuant to a Royalty Interest Acquisition Agreement related to the purchase by HC Royalty of certain of the Company’s rights under the Company’s agreement with United Therapeutics related to the commercialization of Orenitram (treprostinil) Extended-Release Tablets. Full ownership of the royalty rights will revert to the Company if and when a certain cumulative payment threshold is reached, per the terms of the agreement. The Company recorded a nonrecourse liability related to this transaction, and amortizes this amount as noncash royalty revenue (see Note 16). The Company also recognizes noncash interest expense related to this liability and accrues interest expense at an effective interest rate (see Note 10). The interest rate is determined based on projections of HC Royalty’s rate of return.
