BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION
(a) Acquisition of Talon Therapeutics, Inc. and Related Contingent Consideration
Overview of Talon Acquisition
On July 17, 2013, we purchased all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Talon Therapeutics, Inc. (“Talon”). Through the acquisition of Talon, we gained worldwide rights to MARQIBO. The Talon purchase consideration comprised of (i) an aggregate upfront cash amount of $11.3 million, (ii) issuance of 3.0 million shares of our common stock, then equivalent to $26.3 million (based on a closing price of $8.77 per share on July 17, 2013), and (iii) the issuance of contingent value rights (“CVR”) initially valued at $6.5 million.
The CVR was valued using a valuation model that probability-weights expected outcomes (ranging from 50% to 100%) and discounts those amounts to their present value, using an appropriate discount rate (these represent unobservable inputs and are therefore classified as Level 3 inputs – see Note 2 (xiii)). The CVR has a maximum payout of $195 million if all sales and regulatory approval milestones are achieved, as summarized below:
 
$5 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $30 million in any calendar year
$10 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $60 million in any calendar year
$25 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $100 million in any calendar year
$50 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $200 million in any calendar year
$100 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $400 million in any calendar year
$5 million upon receipt of marketing authorization from the FDA regarding Menadione Topical Lotion

Talon CVR Fair Value as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015
The CVR fair value will continue to be evaluated on a quarterly basis. Current and future changes in its fair value results from the likelihood and timing of milestone achievement and/or the corresponding discount rate applied thereon. Adjustments to CVR fair value are recognized within “change in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(b) Acquisition of Rights to EVOMELA and Related Contingent Consideration
Overview of Acquisition of Rights to EVOMELA
In March 2013, we completed the acquisition of exclusive global development and commercialization rights to Captisol-enabled®, propylene glycol-free MELPHALAN (which we recently branded as “EVOMELA”) for use as a conditioning treatment prior to autologous stem cell transplant for patients with MM. We acquired these rights from CyDex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Ligand”) for an initial license fee of $3 million.
We accounted for this transaction as a business combination, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized on the balance sheet at their fair values as of the transaction date.
We are required to pay Ligand additional amounts up to an aggregate $66 million (inclusive of the $6 million milestone payment triggered in March 2016, as further discussed below), upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones and net sales thresholds, and we also assumed full financial responsibility for its ongoing clinical and regulatory development program. We also must pay royalties of 20% on our future net sales of EVOMELA in all territories.
Consideration Transferred
The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:
 
 
Cash consideration
$
3,000

Ligand Contingent Consideration
4,700

Total purchase consideration
$
7,700


Fair Value Estimate of Asset Acquired and Liability Assumed
The total purchase consideration is allocated to the acquisition of the net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date. The allocation of the total purchase price to the net assets acquired is as follows:
EVOMELA IPR&D
$
7,700


We estimated the fair value of the in-process research and development using the income approach. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount (discounted). Our measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The fair value estimate took into account our estimates of future incremental earnings that may be achieved upon regulatory approval, promotion, and distribution associated with the rights, and included estimated cash flows of approximately 10 years and a discount rate of approximately 25%.
 
The fair value of the contingent consideration liability assumed was determined using the probability of success and the discounted cash flow method of the income approach (representing unobservable inputs and are therefore represent Level 3 values - see Note 2(xiii)). In March 2016, the FDA approved EVOMELA, triggering a $6 million milestone payment to Ligand (“Ligand Contingent Consideration”) that was paid in April 2016. "EVOMELA IPR&D" of $7.7 million was reclassified to "EVOMELA distribution rights" within "Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization and impairment charges" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2016. Amortization related to this intangible asset will commence on April 1, 2016.
Ligand Contingent Consideration Fair Value as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015
The fair value of the Ligand Contingent Consideration was the full $6 million payment due as of March 31, 2016. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2016, we recorded a $0.8 million adjustment to the “change in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(c) Allos Acquisition
We acquired Allos Therapeutics, Inc. (“Allos”) on September 5, 2012, which was accounted for as a business combination. Our total cash consideration for this acquisition was $205.2 million, through which we acquired FOLOTYN distribution rights. We have no contingent consideration obligations as part of this transaction.
