Strategic Investments
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our strategic investment portfolio was comprised of investments totaling $1,222.3 million and $2,024.6 million, respectively, which are included in other current assets and investments and other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Our strategic investment portfolio includes investments in equity securities of certain biotechnology companies, which are reflected within our disclosures included in Note 6, Fair Value Measurements, to these condensed consolidated financial statements, venture capital funds where the underlying investments are in equity securities of certain biotechnology companies and non-marketable equity securities.
The decrease in our strategic investment portfolio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, was primarily due to decreases in the fair value of our investments in Denali, Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Ionis), Sage and Sangamo common stock.
Sage Therapeutics, Inc.
In November 2020 we entered into a global collaboration and license agreement with Sage. In connection with the closing of this transaction in December 2020 we purchased $650.0 million of Sage common stock, or approximately 6.2 million shares at approximately $104.14 per share, which are subject to transfer restrictions. This investment is classified as a Level 2 marketable equity security due to certain holding period restrictions and is remeasured each reporting period and carried at fair value. The effects of certain holding period restrictions on the investment are estimated using an option pricing valuation model. The most significant assumptions within the model are the term of the restrictions and the stock price volatility, which is based upon historical volatility of similar companies. We also use a constant maturity risk free-interest rate to match the remaining term of the restrictions on our investment in Sage common stock and a dividend yield of zero based upon the fact that Sage and similar companies generally have not historically granted cash dividends.
For additional information on our collaboration arrangement with Sage, please read Note 16, Collaborative and Other Relationships, to these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Denali Therapeutics Inc.
In August 2020 we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Denali. As part of this collaboration we purchased approximately $465.0 million of Denali common stock in September 2020, or approximately 13 million shares at approximately $34.94 per share, which are subject to transfer restrictions. This investment is classified as a Level 2 marketable equity security due to certain holding period restrictions and is remeasured each reporting period and carried at fair value. The effects of certain holding period restrictions on the investment are estimated using an option pricing valuation model. The most significant assumptions within the model are the term of the restrictions and the stock price volatility, which is based upon historical volatility of similar companies. We also use a constant maturity risk free-interest rate to match the remaining term of the restrictions on our investment in Denali's common stock and a dividend yield of zero based upon the fact that Denali and similar companies generally have not historically granted cash dividends.
For additional information on our collaboration arrangement with Denali, please read Note 16, Collaborative and Other Relationships, to these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc.
In February 2020 we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Sangamo. In connection with the closing of this transaction in April 2020 we purchased $225.0 million of Sangamo common stock, or approximately 24 million shares at approximately $9.21 per share, of which approximately 12 million shares remain subject to transfer restrictions as of September 30, 2021. This equity method investment is remeasured each reporting period and carried at fair value due to our election of the fair value option. The effects of certain holding period restrictions on the investment are estimated using an option pricing valuation model. The most significant assumptions within the model are the term of the restrictions and the stock price volatility, which is based upon historical volatility of similar companies. We also use a constant maturity risk free-interest rate to match the remaining term of the restrictions on our investment in Sangamo’s common stock and a dividend yield of zero based upon the fact that Sangamo and similar companies generally have not historically granted cash dividends.
For additional information on our collaboration arrangement with Sangamo, please read Note 16, Collaborative and Other Relationships, to these condensed consolidated financial statements.
