Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related Party Transactions | NOTE 11 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS We lease office space from Frost Real Estate Holdings, LLC (“Frost Holdings”) in Miami, Florida, where our principal executive offices are located. Effective August 1, 2024, we entered into an amendment to our lease agreement with Frost Holdings to decrease the lease space from approximately 29,500 square feet to approximately 26,328 square feet of space. The amended lease provides for payments of approximately $91 thousand per month in the first year increasing annually to $103 thousand per month in the fifth year, plus applicable sales tax. The rent is inclusive of operating expenses, property taxes and parking. In January 2024, in connection with the closing of the offering of the 2029 Convertible Notes, we issued and sold approximately $71.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Convertible Affiliate Notes to the Affiliate Purchasers, in exchange for $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Convertible Notes, together with approximately $16.1 million accrued but unpaid interest thereon, held by such Affiliate Purchasers. See Note 7 for additional information. Dr. Frost, an Affiliate Purchaser, subsequently purchased 2029 Convertible Notes on the open market in September 2024. On October 12, 2023, the Company entered into an E-Commerce Distribution Agreement with NextPlat Corp (“NextPlat”), a global e-commerce provider, in which Dr. Frost owns a 13% interest. Under the terms of the agreement, NextPlat has agreed to launch an OPKO Health-branded online storefront on the Alibaba Group Holding Limited Tmall Global e-commerce platform in China, featuring an assortment of nutraceutical and veterinary products sold and distributed by OPKO Health Europe SLU, our wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company and NextPlat amended the agreement in October 2024 to extend the term of the agreement to 2026, and permit NextPlat to launch an online storefront on additional e-commerce platforms throughout Asia. On May 4, 2023, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Ruen-Hui Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., a Taiwanese entity (“Ruen-Hui”) in which Dr. Hsiao owns more than a 10% interest. Ruen-Hui assumed the Company's obligations under an exclusive license agreement with Academia Sinica in exchange for an upfront payment of $150,000, a number of potential milestone payments up to $1 million, commercial milestones ranging from low to double-digit millions, and royalty payments. Ruen Hui is also responsible for any outstanding payment obligations under such license agreement, including patent maintenance costs, and any payments due to Academia Sinica. The Company owns approximately 6% of Pharmsynthez, and Pharmsynthez is the largest and controlling shareholder of Xenetic, in which the Company has a 3% ownership interest. We hold investments in Zebra (ownership 29%), Niagen (0.05%), COCP (2%), NIMS (1%), Eloxx (1%), and LeaderMed (47%). These investments were considered related party transactions as a result of our executive management’s ownership interests and/or board representation in these entities. We previously held an investment in GeneDx (Nasdaq: WGS), which represented a 2.2% ownership interest as of December 31, 2024, obtained as a result of our sale of GeneDx, Inc. and subsequent participation in an underwritten offering by GeneDx. Richard Pfenniger who sits on our Board also sits on the GeneDx Board. We sold our remaining investment in GeneDx during the first quarter of 2025. Dr. Elias Zerhouni, our Vice Chairman and President, sits on the board of directors of Danaher Corporation (“Danaher”). Our subsidiary, BioReference, routinely procures products and services from several subsidiaries of Danaher, including Beckman Coulter, Integrated DNA Technologies Inc., and Leica Microsystems Inc., to which BioReference has paid $1.3 million, $1.4 million, and $0.2 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2025. We reimburse Dr. Frost for Company-related use by Dr. Frost and our other executives of an airplane owned by a company that is beneficially owned by Dr. Frost. We reimburse Dr. Frost for out-of-pocket operating costs for the use of the airplane by Dr. Frost or Company executives for Company-related business. We do not reimburse Dr. Frost for personal use of the airplane by Dr. Frost or any other executive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, no amounts were reimbursed or accrued for Company-related travel by Dr. Frost and other OPKO executives. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we reimbursed or accrued approximately $23.9 thousand, respectively, for Company-related travel by Dr. Frost and other OPKO executives. |
