COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings MSN ANDA Litigation In September 2019, we received a notice letter regarding an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) submitted to the FDA by MSN Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (individually and collectively with certain of its affiliates, including MSN Laboratories Private Limited, referred to as MSN), requesting approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. MSN’s initial notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to our U.S. Patents No. 8,877,776, salt and polymorphic forms (the ’776 Patent), 9,724,342, formulations (the ’342 Patent), 10,034,873, methods of treatment (the ’873 Patent), and 10,039,757, methods of treatment (the ’757 Patent), which are listed in the Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, also referred to as the Orange Book, for CABOMETYX. MSN’s initial notice letter did not provide a Paragraph IV certification against U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473, composition of matter (the ’473 Patent) or 8,497,284, methods of treatment (the ’284 Patent), each of which is listed in the Orange Book. On October 29, 2019, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the Delaware District Court) for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of the ’776 Patent arising from MSN’s ANDA filing with the FDA. On November 20, 2019, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the ’776 Patent are invalid and not infringed. On May 5, 2020, we received notice from MSN that it had amended its ANDA to include additional Paragraph IV certifications and to request approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to expiration of the two previously unasserted ’473 and ’284 Patents. On May 11, 2020, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of these patents, and on May 22, 2020, MSN filed its response, alleging that the asserted claims of these patents are invalid and not infringed. On March 23, 2021, MSN filed its First Amended Answer and Counterclaims (amending its prior filing from May 22, 2020), seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment that U.S. Patent No. 9,809,549, salt and polymorphic forms (the ’549 Patent) is invalid and would not be infringed by MSN if its generic version of CABOMETYX tablets were approved by the FDA. This ’549 Patent is not listed in the Orange Book. On April 7, 2021, we filed our response to MSN’s First Amended Answer and Counterclaims, denying, among other things, that the ’549 Patent is invalid or would not be infringed. The two lawsuits comprising this litigation (collectively referred to as MSN I), numbered Civil Action Nos. 19-02017 and 20-00633, were consolidated in April 2021. A bench trial for MSN I occurred in May 2022, and on January 19, 2023, the Delaware District Court issued a ruling rejecting MSN’s invalidity challenge to the ’473 Patent. The Delaware District Court also ruled that MSN’s proposed ANDA product does not infringe the ’776 Patent. In accordance with these rulings, the Delaware District Court entered judgment that the effective date of any final FDA approval of MSN’s ANDA shall not be a date earlier than August 14, 2026, the expiration date of the ’473 Patent. Final judgment was entered on January 30, 2023. This ruling in MSN I did not impact our separate MSN II lawsuit (as defined below). On January 11, 2022, we received notice from MSN that it had further amended its ANDA to assert additional Paragraph IV certifications. In particular, the January 11, 2022 amended ANDA requested approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to expiration of three previously-unasserted CABOMETYX patents that are now listed in the Orange Book: U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, crystalline salt forms (the ’439 Patent), 11,091,440, pharmaceutical composition (the ’440 Patent), and 11,098,015, methods of treatment (the ’015 Patent). On February 23, 2022, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of the ’439, ’440, and ’015 Patents arising from MSN’s further amendment of its ANDA filing with the FDA. On February 25, 2022, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the ’439, ’440, and ’015 Patents are invalid and not infringed. On June 7, 2022, we received notice from MSN that it had further amended its ANDA to assert an additional Paragraph IV certification. As currently amended, MSN’s ANDA now requests approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to expiration of a previously-unasserted CABOMETYX patent that is now listed in the Orange Book: U.S. Patent No. 11,298,349, pharmaceutical composition (the ’349 Patent). On July 18, 2022, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of the ’349 Patent arising from MSN’s further amendment of its ANDA filing with the FDA. On August 9, 2022, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the ’349 Patent are invalid and not infringed and amended its challenges to the ’439, ’440, and ’015 Patents to allege that these patents are not enforceable based on equitable grounds. The two lawsuits comprising this litigation (collectively referred to as MSN II), numbered Civil Action Nos. 22-00228 and 22-00945, were consolidated in October 2022 and involve Exelixis patents that are different from those asserted in the MSN I litigation described above. On June 21, 2022, pursuant to a stipulation between us and MSN, the Delaware District Court entered an order that (i) MSN’s submission of its ANDA constitutes infringement of certain claims relating to the ’439, ’440, and ’015 Patents, if those claims are not found to be invalid, and (ii) upon approval, MSN’s commercial manufacture, use, sale or offer for sale within the U.S., and importation into the U.S., of MSN’s proposed ANDA product prior to the expiration of these patents would also infringe certain claims of each patent, if those claims are not found to be invalid. In our MSN II complaints, we sought, among other relief, an order that the effective date of any FDA approval of MSN’s ANDA would be a date no earlier than the expiration of the ’439, ’440, ’015, and ’349 Patents, the latest of which expires on February 10, 2032, and equitable relief enjoining MSN from infringing these patents. On September 28, 2023, the Delaware District Court granted the parties’ stipulation of dismissal of MSN’s equitable defenses and counterclaims. A bench trial occurred in October 2023, and on October 15, 2024, the Delaware District Court issued a ruling rejecting MSN’s invalidity challenge to each of the ’439, ’440, and ’015 Patents. The Delaware District Court also ruled that the ’349 Patent is not invalid and that MSN’s proposed ANDA product does not infringe this patent. In accordance with these rulings, the Delaware District Court entered final judgment on October 23, 2024, that, should the FDA ultimately approve MSN’s ANDA, the effective date of any such approval of MSN’s ANDA shall not be a date earlier than January 15, 2030, the expiration date of each of the ’439, ’440, and ’015 Patents, subject to our potential additional regulatory exclusivity. On November 22, 2024, MSN noticed an appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) and we noticed a cross-appeal on November 26, 2024. On April 1, 2025, MSN filed its Opening Brief arguing that the asserted claims of the ’439, ’440, ’015, and ’349 Patents are invalid. On June 10, 2025, the CAFC granted our request to dismiss our cross-appeal. On June 11, 2025, we filed our Response Brief. In February 2025, we received another notice letter from MSN regarding its ANDA, requesting FDA approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. MSN’s notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to Orange Book-listed patent U.S. Patent No. 12,128,039, low impurity (the ’039 Patent), which expires in 2032. On March 19, 2025, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of this patent arising from MSN’s further amendment of its ANDA filing with the FDA. On April 10, 2025, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the ’039 Patent are invalid, unenforceable, and not infringed. On May 1, 2025, we filed our answer to MSN’s counterclaim. Sun ANDA Litigation On September 17, 2024, we received a notice letter regarding an ANDA submitted to the FDA by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Sun), requesting approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. Sun’s notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to the ’776 Patent, the ’342 Patent, the ’873 Patent, the ’757 Patent, the ’439 Patent, the ’440 Patent, the ’015 Patent, and the ’349 Patent, which are listed in the Orange Book, for CABOMETYX. On October 30, 2024, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against Sun asserting infringement of the ’776, ’439, ’440, and ’015 Patents. On January 22, 2025, Sun filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the patents at issue are invalid and not infringed. Sun also filed counterclaims that, inter alia, seek a declaratory judgment that Sun’s ANDA would not infringe any valid and enforceable claim of the ’776, ’439, ’440, ’015, ’342, ’873, ’757, and ’349 Patents. On January 22, 2025, we filed our answer to Sun’s counterclaims. Trial in this matter has been scheduled for November 2, 2026. In February 2025, we received another notice letter from Sun regarding its ANDA, requesting FDA approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. Sun’s notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to Orange Book-listed ’039 Patent, which expires in 2032. On April 4, 2025, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against Sun asserting infringement of the ’039 Patent arising from Sun’s amendment of its ANDA filing with the FDA. On June 9, 2025, Sun filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the ’039 Patent are invalid, unenforceable, and not infringed. On June 30, 2025, we filed our answer to Sun’s counterclaim. Biocon ANDA Litigation In March 2025, we received a notice letter regarding an ANDA submitted to the FDA by Biocon Pharma Limited (Biocon), requesting approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. Biocon’s notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to the ’776 Patent, the ’342 Patent, the ’873 Patent, the ’757 Patent, the ’439 Patent, the ’440 Patent, the ’015 Patent, the ’349 Patent, and the ’039 Patent which are listed in the Orange Book, for CABOMETYX. On April 11, 2025, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against Biocon asserting infringement of the ’776, ’439, ’440, ’015, and ’039 Patents. On June 19, 2025, Biocon filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the patents at issue are invalid and not infringed. On July 10, 2025, we filed our answer to Biocon’s counterclaims. In July 2025, we entered into a settlement and license agreement with Biocon (the Biocon Settlement Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the Biocon Settlement Agreement, Exelixis will grant Biocon a license to market its generic version of CABOMETYX in the United States beginning on January 1, 2031, if approved by the FDA and subject to conditions and exceptions common to agreements of this type. Additionally, in accordance with the Biocon Settlement Agreement, the parties will terminate all ongoing Hatch-Waxman litigation between Exelixis and Biocon regarding CABOMETYX patents pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The Biocon Settlement Agreement is confidential and subject to review by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice. Azurity 505(b)(2) NDA Litigation In March 2025, we received a notice letter regarding a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (505(b)(2)) submitted to the FDA by Azurity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Azurity), requesting approval to market cabozantinib (S)-malate tablets. Azurity’s notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to the ’776 Patent, the ’342 Patent, the ’873 Patent, the ’757 Patent, the ’439 Patent, the ’440 Patent, the ’015 Patent, the ’349 Patent, and the ’039 Patent which are listed in the Orange Book, for CABOMETYX. On April 18, 2025, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against Azurity asserting infringement of the ’776, ’439, ’440, ’015, ’349, and ’039 Patents. On April 24, 2025, we filed our First Amended Complaint alleging infringement of the same patents. On June 11, 2025, Azurity filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the patents at issue are not infringed and/or invalid. On July 2, 2025, we filed our answer to Azurity’s counterclaims. Other On November 18, 2024, Azurity filed a petition seeking inter partes review of the ’349 Patent at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The proceeding was accorded a filing date of December 12, 2024. On June 4, 2025, the USPTO declined to institute Azurity’s inter partes review of the ’349 Patent and the deadline for Azurity to seek rehearing has passed. On January 9, 2025, Azurity filed a petition seeking inter partes review of the ’039 Patent at the USPTO. The proceeding was accorded a filing date of March 6, 2025. On July 2, 2025, the USPTO declined to institute Azurity’s inter partes review of the ’039 Patent. The sale of any cabozantinib (S)-malate tablets besides CABOMETYX significantly earlier than CABOMETYX’s patent expiration could decrease our revenues derived from the U.S. sales of CABOMETYX and thereby materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. It is not possible at this time to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate of the amount or range of any potential loss. We may also from time-to-time become a party or subject to various other legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these proceedings have involved, and may involve in the future, claims that are subject to substantial uncertainties and unascertainable damages.
