On July 2, 2024, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of HI-Bio, a privately-held clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on targeted therapies for patients with severe immune-mediated diseases. HI-Bio's lead asset, felzartamab, an anti-CD38 antibody, is currently being evaluated for three leading indications, Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR), Primary Membranous Nephropathy (PMN) and Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN). Felzartamab has received Breakthrough Therapy Designation and ODD from the FDA for development in the treatment of PMN and AMR and has received ODD in the treatment of antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplant recipients. The acquisition of HI-Bio is expected to augment our pipeline and build on our expertise in immunology.

Under the terms of this acquisition, we paid shareholders of HI-Bio approximately $1.15 billion at closing and may pay up to an additional $650.0 million in potential future development and regulatory milestone payments. The $1.15 billion paid includes approximately $74.5 million related to HI-Bio's outstanding, non-vested equity awards, inclusive of employer taxes, of which $56.4 million was recognized as share-based compensation payments to settle non-vested equity awards attributable to the post-acquisition service period and therefore not reflected as a component of total purchase price paid. Of the total $56.4 million, we recognized approximately $42.5 million as a charge to research and development expense with the remaining $13.9 million as a charge to selling, general and administrative expense within our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. These amounts were associated with the accelerated vesting of stock options and RSUs previously granted to HI-Bio employees and required no future services to vest.

We funded this acquisition through available cash on hand and accounted for this acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, and recorded assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date.

In addition to the lead program felzartamab, the HI-Bio pipeline acquired includes izastobart/HIB210, an anti-C5aR1 antibody currently in a Phase 1 trial, and the potential for continued development in a range of complement-mediated diseases.

(1) Represents total consideration paid to shareholders of HI-Bio of $1.15 billion, plus an additional $43.7 million related to working capital adjustments as of the transaction close date, less $56.4 million of cash paid for HI-Bio's outstanding, non-vested equity awards, inclusive of employer taxes, which were recognized as compensation attributable to the post-acquisition service period and therefore not reflected as a component of total consideration.

Contingent Consideration: We may make certain contingent payments to the former shareholders of HI-Bio upon the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones. As of the acquisition date, the maximum aggregate amount payable for these potential milestones was $650.0 million. The acquisition-date fair value of these milestones was approximately $485.1 million and was estimated utilizing a probability-adjusted discounted cash flow calculation using an appropriate discount rate dependent on the nature and timing of the milestone payments, which ranged from 6.2% to 7.0%, and probabilities of technological and regulatory success ranging from 67.0% to near certain probability. Of the total contingent consideration, approximately $279.3 million related to milestones classified as short-term and reflected as a component of accrued expense and other with the remaining $205.8 million reflected as a component of other long-term liabilities within our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The short-term liability relates to the fourth patient dosed in a phase 3 clinical trial of felzartamab in a first and second indication, which would trigger milestone payments of $150.0 million each.

Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation will be recognized as (gain) loss on fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration within our condensed consolidated statements of income. This fair value measurement was based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 fair value measurements. For additional information related to the fair value of this obligation, please read Note 8, Fair Value Measurements, to these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other Contractual Commitments: We acquired HI-Bio's pre-existing in-license commitments under third-party agreements, which include tiered royalties on potential future sales of felzartamab and izastobart/HIB210, ranging from high-single digit to mid-teen percentages, as well as potential future development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments related to felzartamab and izastobart/HIB210 of up to $130.0 million, $230.0 million and $640.0 million, respectively. Because the achievement of these milestones was not considered probable as of the transaction close date, such contingencies have not been recorded in our financial statements.


(In millions)	Estimated Fair Value as of July 2, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	62.5

Intangible assets:
IPR&D - felzartamab (IgAN)	920.0
IPR&D - felzartamab (AMR)	450.0
IPR&D - felzartamab (PMN)	265.0

Total assets acquired and liabilities assumed	$	1,622.4

Intangible assets: Intangible assets comprised of $1.6 billion of IPR&D related to HI-Bio's lead asset felzartamab. This includes $920.0 million of IPR&D related to felzartamab indication for IgAN, $450.0 million of IPR&D related to felzartamab indication for AMR and $265.0 million of IPR&D related to felzartamab indication for PMN. The estimated fair values of the program related intangible assets were determined using a multi-period excess earnings method, a form of the income approach, utilizing cash flow analyses and a discount rate of 14.5%. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 fair value measurements.

Goodwill: Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from the other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. We recognized goodwill of approximately $256.5 million, which is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized from our acquisition of HI-Bio is primarily the result of the deferred tax consequences from the transaction recorded for financial statement purposes.

Acquisition-related expenses: Acquisition-related expense, primarily comprised of advisory and legal fees, and other transaction costs, totaled approximately $2.8 million and were recorded within selling, general and administrative expense within our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The results of operations of HI-Bio, along with the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the HI-Bio acquisition, have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements since the closing of the HI-Bio acquisition on July 2, 2024.

Our preliminary estimate of the fair value of the specifically identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition is subject to the finalization of management's analysis related to certain matters, such as finalizing our assessment of intangible assets, goodwill and income taxes, among other items. The final determination of these fair values will be completed as additional information becomes available but no later than one year from the acquisition date. The final determination may result in asset and liability fair values that are different than the preliminary estimates. There were no purchase price allocation adjustments during the third quarter of 2024.

Subsequent to the acquisition date, our results of operations include the results of operations of HI-Bio. HI-Bio operations had an immaterial impact on our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Due to the immateriality of HI-Bio's historic revenue and expenses, additional pro forma information combining the results of operations of Biogen and HI-Bio have not been included.

On September 26, 2023, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Reata, a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapeutics that regulate cellular metabolism and inflammation in serious neurologic diseases. As a result of this transaction we acquired SKYCLARYS (omaveloxolone), the first and only drug approved in the U.S. and the E.U. for the treatment of Friedreich's Ataxia in adults and adolescents aged 16 years and older, as well as other clinical and preclinical pipeline programs. The acquisition of Reata is expected to complement our global portfolio of neuromuscular and rare disease therapies. The addition of SKYCLARYS is anticipated to provide potential operating synergies with SPINRAZA and QALSODY.

Under the terms of this acquisition, we paid Reata shareholders $172.50 in cash for each issued and outstanding Reata share, which totaled approximately $6.6 billion. In addition, we agreed to pay approximately $983.9 million in cash for Reata's outstanding equity awards, inclusive of employer taxes, of which approximately $590.5 million was attributable to pre-acquisition services and is therefore reflected as a component of total purchase price paid. Of the $983.9 million paid to Reata's equity award holders, we recognized approximately $393.4 million as compensation attributable to the post-acquisition service period, of which $196.4 million was recognized as a charge to selling, general and administrative expense with the remaining $197.0 million as a charge to research and development expense within our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. These amounts were associated with the accelerated vesting of stock options and RSUs previously granted to Reata employees and required no future services to vest.

We funded this acquisition through available cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, supplemented by the issuance of a $1.0 billion term loan under our 2023 Term Loan. For additional information on our 2023 Term Loan, please read Note 13, Indebtedness, to these condensed consolidated financial statements.

We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, and recorded assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date.

We finalized purchase accounting for this acquisition in the third quarter of 2024. The following table summarizes the amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, and reflects measurement period adjustments made to the amounts initially recorded as of the acquisition date on September 26, 2023. The measurement period adjustments summarized below resulted from updates to our valuation assumptions related to the estimated amounts and timing of future cash flows associated with certain intangible assets, updates of our assumptions related to the quantities, selling location and remaining manufacturing and selling costs of acquired inventory, and other assets and liabilities. The related impact to our condensed consolidated statements of income that would have been recognized in previous periods if the adjustments were recognized as of the acquisition date is immaterial.

(1) Includes measurement period adjustments recorded in the first quarter of 2024 that increased accrued expense and other by $4.9 million, deferred tax liability by $4.1 million and goodwill by $9.0 million, as well as measurement period adjustments recorded in the third quarter of 2024 that increased other current assets by $1.0 million and accrued expense and other by $3.9 million, and decreased deferred tax liability by $7.2 million and goodwill by $4.3 million.

Inventory: Total inventory acquired was approximately $1.3 billion, which reflects a step-up in the fair value of finished goods and work-in-process inventory for SKYCLARYS. The fair value was determined based on the estimated selling price of the inventory, less the remaining manufacturing and selling costs and a normal profit margin on those manufacturing and selling efforts. This fair value step-up adjustment is being amortized to cost of sales within our condensed consolidated statements of income as the inventory is sold, which is expected to be sold over a period of approximately 4 years from the acquisition date. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, amortization from the fair value step-up adjustment was approximately $50.9 million and $185.1 million, respectively. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, include approximately $2.5 million and $48.5 million, respectively, of inventory used for clinical purposes, which is reflected within research and development expense within our condensed consolidated statements of income.

Intangible assets: Intangible assets are comprised of $4.2 billion related to SKYCLARYS commercialization rights in the U.S., $2.3 billion of IPR&D related to the omaveloxolone program outside the U.S., which had not yet received regulatory approval in the E.U. as of the acquisition date, $100.0 million related to a rare pediatric disease priority voucher which may be used to obtain priority review by the FDA for a future regulatory submission or sold to a third party and $40.0 million related to other clinical programs. The estimated fair values of the program related intangible assets were determined using a multi-period excess earnings method, a form of the income approach, utilizing a discount rate of 14.3% and the estimated fair value of the priority review voucher was based on recent external purchase and sale transactions of similar vouchers.

Upon SKYCLARYS receiving E.U. regulatory approval in February 2024, we began selling the product in certain countries in Europe, and began amortizing the $2.3 billion IPR&D asset related to the program outside the U.S. over its expected economic life using an economic consumption model.

Leases: We assumed responsibility for a single-tenant, build-to-suit building of approximately 327,400 square feet of office and laboratory space located in Plano, Texas, with an initial lease term of 16 years. We recorded a lease liability of approximately $151.8 million, which represents the net present value of rental expense over the remaining lease term of approximately 15 years, with a corresponding right-of-use asset of approximately $121.2 million, which represents our estimate of the fair value for a market participant of the current rental market in the Dallas, Texas area. Included in our estimate of the market rental rate is the value of any leasehold improvements or tenant allowances related to the building. We do not intend to occupy this building and are evaluating opportunities to sublease the property.

Goodwill: Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from the other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. We recognized goodwill of approximately $469.2 million, which is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized from our acquisition of Reata is primarily the result of the deferred tax consequences from the transaction recorded for financial statement purposes.

Acquisition-related expenses: Acquisition-related expense, primarily comprised of regulatory, advisory and legal fees, and other transaction costs, totaled approximately $26.3 million and were recorded within selling, general and administrative expense within our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
