The Issuer II Class C Units represent the right to receive 85% of the royalty payments on worldwide net sales of Assigned Collaboration Products (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) pursuant to the terms of that certain Collaboration Agreement, dated as of November 14, 2002, by and between Innoviva, Inc. (formerly known as Theravance, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Innoviva”), and Glaxo Group Limited, a private company limited by shares registered under the laws of England and Wales (“GSK”) (as amended, the “Collaboration Agreement”).

At the closing of the sale of the Issuer II Class C Units and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”), the Company received approximately $1.1 billion in cash. From and after January 1, 2023, for any calendar year starting with the year ending December 31, 2023 and ending with the year December 31, 2026, upon certain milestone minimum royalty amounts for the Assigned Collaboration Products being met, Royalty Pharma is obligated to make certain cash payments to the Company (the “Milestone Payments”), which are not to exceed $250.0 million in aggregate.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company and Royalty Pharma, including with respect to organization, authorization, intellectual property matters and tax matters, and certain covenants

with respect to confidentiality, taxes and actions and conduct relating to preservation of TRC prior to the Closing. The Company and Royalty Pharma will each indemnify the other against damages arising from breaches of representations, warranties and covenants under the Purchase Agreement.
