Pediatric Portfolio Fixed Payments and Product Milestone

The Company has two fixed, periodic payment obligations to an investor (the “Fixed Obligation”). Under the first fixed obligation, the Company was to make monthly payments of $0.1 million beginning November 1, 2019 through January 2021, with a balloon payment of $15.0 million that was originally due in January 2021 (“Balloon Payment Obligation”). A second fixed obligation required the Company to pay a minimum of $0.1 million monthly through February 2026, except for $0.2 million paid in January 2020.

On May 29, 2020, the Company entered into an Early Payment Agreement and Escrow Instruction (the “Early Payment Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay $15.0 million to the investor in satisfaction of the Balloon Payment Obligation. The parties to the Early Payment Agreement acknowledged and agreed that the remaining fixed payments other than the Balloon Payment Obligation remained due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, and that nothing in the Early Payment Agreement alters, amends, or waives any provisions or obligations in the Waiver or the Investor agreement other than as expressly set forth therein. The first fixed obligation was fully paid as of January 2021.

On June 21, 2021, the Company entered into a Waiver, Release and Consent pursuant to which the Company paid $2.8 million to the investor in satisfaction of the second fixed obligation. The Company agreed to pay the remaining fixed obligation of $3.0 million in six equal quarterly payments of $0.5 million over the six quarters commencing September 30, 2021. The outstanding balance for the Waiver, Release and Consent obligation as of December 31, 2022 was paid in January 2023.

The Tris Karbinal Agreement grants the Company exclusive right to distribute and sell the product in the United States. The initial term of the agreement was 20 years. The Company will pay Tris a royalty equal to 23.5% of net sales.

The Tris Karbinal Agreement also contains minimum unit sales commitments, which is based on a commercial year that spans from August 1 through July 31, of 70,000 units annually through 2025. The Company is required to pay Tris a royalty make whole payment of $30 for each unit under the 70,000-unit annual minimum sales

commitment through 2025. The Tris Karbinal Agreement make-whole payment is capped at $2.1 million each year. The annual payment is due in August of each year. The Tris Karbinal Agreement also has multiple commercial milestone obligations that aggregate up to $3.0 million based on cumulative net sales, the first of which is triggered at $40.0 million of net revenues.

Rumpus Earn Out Payments

On April 12, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Rumpus, pursuant to which the Company acquired certain rights and other assets, including key commercial global licenses with Denovo Biopharma LLC (“Denovo”) and Johns Hopkins University (“JHU”), relating to AR101. Upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones, up to $67.5 million in earn-out payments, which are payable in cash or shares of common stock, generally at the Company’s option, are payable to Rumpus. Under the license agreement with Denovo, we made a payment of $0.6 million for a license fee in April 2022. In addition, upon the achievement of regulatory and commercial milestones we may be required to pay up to $101.7 million, and escalating royalties based on net product sales ranging in percentage from the low teens to the high teens. Finally, under the license agreement with Johns Hopkins, the Company assumed the responsibility for royalties of 3.0% of net product sales, with a minimum of $20,000 per year, and upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones, up to $1.6 million.

Legal Proceeding

Aponowicz and Paguia Class-Action Securities Litigations. A putative class action was filed on February 9, 2022 in the Delaware Chancery Court by Rafal Aponowicz derivatively and on behalf of all Aytu stockholders, challenging the grant in 2021 of certain stock option awards to directors and officers. The stockholder contends those awards were in amounts exceeding the shares available under the Company’s 2015 equity incentive plan and that the directors therefore breached their fiduciary duties and breached a purported contract between them and stockholders. The Complaint seeks rescission of the awards, unspecified damages to stockholders as a result of the awards, and attorneys’ fees. A second such action was filed by Paul John M. Paguia on March 7, 2022; Mr. Paguia asserts the same claims and seeks the same relief. The parties have agreed to settle these matters for various corporate governance modifications and the payment of plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees, subject to approval by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware.  Notice of the settlement has been provided to stockholders of record as of December 31, 2022, and the settlement approval hearing is scheduled for March 10, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, we had $0.4 million accrued for plaintiff’s attorney fees.
