18. License Agreements

Healight

In April 2020, we entered into a licensing agreement with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to secure worldwide rights to various potential esophageal and nasopharyngeal uses of Healight. The agreement with Cedars-Sinai grants us a license to all patent and development related technology rights for the intra-corporeal therapeutic use of ultraviolet light in the field of endotracheal and nasopharyngeal applications. As a result of the focus on revenue growth of our commercial business we have terminated the licensing agreement with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, effective May 9, 2023.

NeuRx

In October 2018, Neos entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (“NeuRx License”) with NeuRx Pharmaceuticals LLC (“NeuRx”), pursuant to which NeuRx granted Neos an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license to research, develop, manufacture, and commercialize certain pharmaceutical products containing NeuRx’s proprietary compound designated as NRX-101, referred to as NT0502. NT0502 is a new chemical entity that is being developed for the treatment of sialorrhea, which is excessive salivation or drooling. The Company may be required to make certain development and milestone payments and royalties based on annual net sales, as defined in the NeuRx License. Royalties are to be paid on a country-by-country and licensed product-by-licensed product basis, during the period of time beginning on the first commercial sale of such licensed product in such country and continuing until the later of: (i) the expiration of the last-to-expire valid claim in any licensed patent in such country that covers such licensed product in such country; and/or (ii) expiration of regulatory exclusivity of such licensed product in such country.

In April 2023, the Company returned the NT0502 rights to NeuRx in exchange for and receive a royalty and potential milestone payments on amounts received for future revenue generated by NeuRx (or a future licensee) on NT0502.

Teva

On December 21, 2018, Neos and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (“Teva”) entered into an agreement granting Teva a non-exclusive license to certain patents owned by Neos by which Teva has the right to manufacture and market its generic version of Cotempla XR-ODT under an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) filed by Teva beginning on July 1, 2026, or earlier under certain circumstances.

Actavis

On October 17, 2017, Neos entered into an agreement granting Actavis a non-exclusive license to certain patents owned by Neos by which Actavis (now Teva, following Teva’s acquisition of Actavis’ generic products) has the right to manufacture and market its generic version of Adzenys XR-ODT under its ANDA beginning on September 1, 2025, or earlier under certain circumstances.

Shire

In July 2014, Neos entered into a Settlement Agreement and an associated License Agreement (the “2014 License Agreement”) with Shire LLC (“Shire”) for a non-exclusive license to certain patents for certain activities with respect to Neos’ New Drug Application (the “NDA”) No. 204326 for an extended-release orally disintegrating amphetamine polistirex tablet. In accordance with the terms of the 2014 License Agreement, following the receipt of the approval from the FDA for Adzenys XR-ODT, Neos paid an up-front, non-refundable license fee of an amount less than $1.0 million in February 2016. Neos is paying a single digit royalty on net sales of Adzenys XR-ODT during the life of the patents. The settlement agreement expires May of 2023.

In March 2017, Neos entered into a License Agreement (the “2017 License Agreement”) with Shire, pursuant to which Shire granted Neos a non-exclusive license to certain patents owned by Shire for certain activities with respect to Neos’ NDA No. 204325 for an extended-release amphetamine oral suspension. In accordance with the terms of the 2017 License Agreement, following the receipt of the approval from the FDA for Adzenys ER, Neos paid an up-front, non-refundable license fee of an amount less than $1.0 million in October 2017. Neos was paying a single digit royalty on net sales of Adzenys ER during the life of the patents. Adzenys ER was discontinued as of September 30, 2021.

The royalties are recorded as cost of sales in the same period as the net sales upon which they are calculated.

Additionally, each of the 2014 and 2017 License Agreements contains a covenant from Shire not to file a patent infringement suit against Neos alleging that Adzenys XR-ODT or Adzenys ER, respectively, infringes the Shire patents.
