Article 2
LICENSE GRANT, RETAINED RIGHTS AND PROVISION OF DATA.


 

2.1 License Grant; Reservation of Rights. Subject to all of the rights retained by BioCryst under Sections 2.2 and 2.3, BioCryst hereby grants CSL an exclusive, sublicensable (to the extent set forth below in this Section 2.1 and Section 3.6), transferable (to the extent set forth in Section 16.1), right and license under the BioCryst Patents and BioCryst Know-How to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import, Develop, have Developed, manufacture, have manufactured, Commercialize and have Commercialized Licensed Products solely in the Field and in the Territory; including in connection with any CSL Stockpile Sales. BioCryst acknowledges and agrees that the license and sublicense rights granted by BioCryst under this Agreement may be exercised by CSL’s Affiliates, without the need for any further agreement to be put in place between the Parties or the relevant CSL Affiliate, provided, however, that CSL shall remain liable for the acts and omissions of all such Affiliates, as if all such acts or omissions were made directly by CSL. Other than as expressly set forth in herein, no other licenses to the BioCryst Intellectual Property Rights or otherwise (including but not limited to rights in BioCryst Intellectual Property Rights outside the Field and outside the Territory) are granted in this Agreement. If CSL desires to sublicense all or any portion of the rights and licenses granted to CSL under this Section 2.1 (other than a limited sublicense as permitted under Section 3.6, which shall not require the prior approval of BioCryst), CSL may grant such sublicense following receipt of the prior written approval of BioCryst, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

2.2.            Manufacturing. The Parties anticipate that any Licensed Product required for sale by or for CSL in the Territory, beyond the Existing Licensed Product Inventory, shall be manufactured by or on behalf of CSL. Upon request by CSL, BioCryst will consent to and cooperate in facilitating and use commercially reasonable efforts to procure direct manufacturing, supply or services relationships between CSL and BioCryst Existing Manufacturers, or other Third Parties with whom BioCryst has existing contractual relationships relating to the Compound (which may include other licensees) on no less favorable price terms than are made available to BioCryst, and will otherwise reasonably cooperate with CSL in connection with CSL undertaking the manufacture of Licensed Product (other than Existing Licensed Products Inventory). CSL shall provide BioCryst with at least *** days’ notice of the date on which BioCryst will no longer be responsible for the manufacturing of Licensed Product to be sold by or on behalf of CSL (such date being the “Manufacturing Responsibility Transfer Date”), provided that the Manufacturing Responsibility Transfer Date must be no earlier than *** days after the Effective Date and no later than the *** anniversary of the Effective Date. BioCryst provides its consent to CSL and any other valid rights holder outside the Territory for the manufacture outside the Territory and supply to CSL of Licensed Product, and BioCryst shall waive its right to receive royalties or like payment in connection with such manufacture and supply, provided that CSL obtains the consent of the relevant rights holder, notifies such consent to BioCryst and CSL otherwise complies with its obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Licensed Product so supplied (including without limitation in respect of the payment of royalties under Article 9). In the period prior to the Manufacturing Responsibility Transfer Date, CSL shall purchase Existing Licensed Product Inventory from BioCryst pursuant to Section 3.4 unless otherwise agreed. BioCryst agrees to reserve for a twelve-month period from the Effective Date active pharmaceutical ingredient to manufacture approximately *** finished doses of the Licensed Product. At its option, CSL may extend such twelve-month period by an additional *** years by written request.

All rights granted to CSL hereunder are subject to (i) BioCryst’s retained exclusive rights to Develop and Commercialize Licensed Products in any field outside the Territory, (ii) the rights reserved by and/or granted to UAB or the U.S. Government pursuant to a BioCryst Development Agreement, provided that BioCryst shall not exercise such rights itself or grant any further rights permitting such rights to be exercised by any Third Party other than UAB and the U.S. Government without CSL’s prior written consent, (iii) BioCryst’s non-exclusive rights to make or have made Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory solely for BioCryst Stockpile Sales, sales outside the Territory, or for sale to CSL under this Agreement, (iv) BioCryst’s retained exclusive rights to negotiate and consummate BioCryst Stockpile Sales in the United States, and (v) BioCryst’s rights to take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to satisfy the BioCryst FDA Post-Marketing Commitments, including ongoing stability studies of the Compound and/or Licensed Products. Subject to Section 2.1, Section 2.2, and Section 2.6(a) and the following sentence, CSL specifically understands and agrees that BioCryst shall have the unrestricted and fully unfettered right under the BioCryst Intellectual Property Rights outside of the Field in the Territory and outside of the Territory in the Field, including in connection with the testing, Development, manufacture and Commercialization of products Covered by the BioCryst Patents and BioCryst Know-How. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, BioCryst will provide notice to CSL of any proposed development activities with respect to a Licensed Product outside the Territory within a reasonable period of time after commencement of any such development activities. Neither Party will conduct (itself or through an Affiliate or Third Party) any development activities with respect to any Licensed Product that reasonably would be expected to have an adverse impact on the Development or Commercialization of a Licensed Product by the other Party in the Field.

CSL, at its cost, will lead all discussions and negotiations with the applicable Governmental Entity regarding possible CSL Stockpile Sales. BioCryst agrees to provide to CSL any administrative assistance reasonably requested by CSL with respect to negotiating and consummating any CSL Stockpile Sales. BioCryst will ask the U.S. Government if it is possible to label Stockpile Product as "SNS Only" or with a similar statement; provided, however, both parties recognize the decision regarding labeling of any stockpile order is a U.S. Government decision.

2.5.            Transfer of BioCryst Know-How. BioCryst shall transfer or otherwise make available to CSL all Data and other BioCryst Know-How in BioCryst’s possession or Control (whether in direct Control, or through Affiliates and/or subcontractors) on the Effective Date and provide such assistance that is reasonably necessary for CSL to perform its obligations and exercise its rights hereunder as set out in a transfer plan (the “Know-How Transfer Plan”).

The price of Compound to be sold to CSL hereunder shall not exceed the direct Third Party costs incurred by BioCryst in manufacturing and storing the Compound, plus a margin of ***%.

2.8.            Right of First Negotiation. CSL shall have a right of first refusal to the grant of any rights in the Field after the Effective Date to BioCryst Intellectual Property Rights in territories outside the Territory (each such proposed grant being a “New Opportunity”).

Article 10
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

10.1.        Prosecution and Maintenance of BioCryst Patents. BioCryst shall have the exclusive right to prosecute and maintain the BioCryst Patents, as BioCryst determines in good faith. In the event that BioCryst determines not to continue to prosecute or maintain any of the BioCryst Patents, BioCryst shall notify CSL sufficiently in advance of any deadlines to afford CSL an opportunity to pursue at its *** and discretion the prosecution or maintenance of such patent application or patent, subject to the license grant set forth above; provided that BioCryst shall in any event promptly notify CSL of any decision to cease prosecution of any patent application included in the BioCryst Patents. If BioCryst elects not to continue to prosecute or maintain a BioCryst Patent, such BioCryst Patent ***. Notwithstanding the previous two sentences, CSL will not have the right to pursue the prosecution or maintenance of any BioCryst Patent which BioCryst determines not to continue to prosecute or maintain based on a bona fide patent strategy decision made by BioCryst for the purpose of maximizing the scope of patent protection for Licensed Products in the Territory and provided CSL receives prior written notice summarizing the basis thereof and, if requested by CSL within 30 days of receiving such notice, the parties meet to discuss BioCryst’s decision. In prosecuting a BioCryst Patent pursuant to this Section 10.1, BioCryst will use commercially reasonable efforts to apprise CSL of any significant developments in the prosecution or maintenance of any BioCryst Patent and shall provide copies of all substantive documents proposed to be filed in the Territory in connection with the prosecution of the BioCryst Patents, and will not unreasonably reject CSL’s comments thereon. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in gaining patent term extension(s) or the like applicable to the BioCryst Patents in the Territory.

BIOCRYST LICENSES WORLDWIDE RIGHTS TO COMMERCIALIZE RAPIVAB® INFLUENZA TREATMENT TO CSL LIMITED

 

 

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (NASDAQ: BCRX) and CSL Limited (ASX:CSL; USOTC:CSLLY) – June 17, 2015BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of treatments for rare diseases, announced today that it has licensed RAPIVAB (peramivir injection) for the treatment of influenza to CSL Limited, a global biopharmaceutical company.

 

RAPIVAB is an intravenous (I.V.) treatment indicated in the U.S. for acute uncomplicated influenza in adults 18 years and older. It is also currently licensed for use in Japan and Korea, and is the first and only approved intravenous influenza treatment in the world.

 

RAPIVAB will be commercialized by CSL’s subsidiary, bioCSL, which specializes in influenza prevention through the supply of seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccine to global markets.

 

Under the terms of the agreement, bioCSL obtains worldwide rights to commercialize RAPIVAB, with the exception of Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Israel. BioCryst retains all rights to pursue pandemic stockpiling orders for RAPIVAB from the U.S. government, while bioCSL is responsible for government stockpiling outside the U.S.

 

“We are delighted to add RAPIVAB to our product portfolio,” said Dr John Anderson, General Manager and Senior Vice-President of bioCSL. “RAPIVAB is a specialty pharmaceutical that addresses an unmet medical need for the treatment of acute influenza in the hospital emergency room setting. It provides us with the exciting opportunity to enter a new market segment and extend our reach to a different customer group for the management of influenza-infected patients.”

 

Under the terms of the agreement, BioCryst will receive an upfront payment of $33.7 million from bioCSL, and may receive up to $12.0 million in additional payments related to the successful achievement of certain regulatory milestones. BioCryst will receive tiered royalties that are contingent upon certain net sales thresholds in the U.S. and the rest of the world, as well as a percentage of proceeds from government stockpiling purchases outside the U.S. In addition, bioCSL will purchase existing and in-process inventory of RAPIVAB for treatment of influenza patients in upcoming flu seasons.

 

Schedule 11.1-1

Pursuant to 17 CFR 20.24b-2, confidential information has been omitted in places marked "***" and has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a Confidential Treatment Application with the Commission.

 

“With its expertise and global scale in influenza, bioCSL is the ideal partner to commercialize RAPIVAB in the U.S. and to work with us to pursue additional approvals in Europe, Canada and other rest of world markets. bioCSL has strong pandemic franchises and has successfully negotiated a number of significant government influenza product stockpiling contracts around the globe,” said Jon P. Stonehouse, President & Chief Executive Officer of BioCryst.  “This transaction maximizes the potential value of RAPIVAB and provides non-dilutive capital to BioCryst to fund our rare disease programs.”

 

About RAPIVAB® (peramivir injection)

 

Approved by FDA in December 2014, RAPIVAB (peramivir injection) is an intravenous (I.V.) viral neuraminidase inhibitor for the treatment of acute uncomplicated influenza in patients 18 years and older who have been symptomatic for no more than two days. Efficacy of RAPIVAB is based on clinical trials of naturally occurring influenza in which the predominant influenza infections were influenza A virus; a limited number of subjects infected with influenza B virus were enrolled. The efficacy of RAPIVAB could not be established in patients with serious influenza requiring hospitalization. In clinical studies, side effects with RAPIVAB were similar to placebo. The most common adverse reaction was diarrhea (RAPIVAB 8% vs 7% placebo). Similar to other neuraminidase inhibitors, there is a risk of neuropsychiatric events (confusion, delirium) and serious skin reactions. Visit www.rapivab.com to learn more.

 

In January 2010, Shionogi & Co., Ltd. launched intravenous peramivir in Japan under the name RAPIACTA® and in August 2010, Green Cross Corporation announced that it had received marketing and manufacturing authorization for I.V. peramivir in Korea under the name PeramiFlu®. It is estimated that more than one million patients have received peramivir treatment to date. In the U.S., RAPIVAB was developed under contract number HHSO10020070032C from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA/HHS), a $234.8 million contract.
