Funding Arrangements with Cytokinetics

In May 2024, we expanded our funding collaboration with Cytokinetics, Incorporated (“Cytokinetics”). As part of the expanded funding collaboration, we provided funding of $100 million for Cytokinetics’ Phase 3 clinical trial of omecamtiv mecarbil (“Cytokinetics Development Funding”) and amended the funding agreement that we entered into with Cytokinetics in 2022 to provide two additional funding tranches (as amended, “Cytokinetics Commercial Launch Funding”). Following the amendment in May 2024, the Cytokinetics Commercial Launch Funding is comprised of seven tranches with total funding of up to $525 million.

Our return on the Cytokinetics Development Funding depends on the outcome of omecamtiv mecarbil’s Phase 3 clinical trial and approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). If omecamtiv mecarbil’s Phase 3 clinical trial is successful and approval by the FDA is received within a specific timeframe, we will receive a return of $100 million and the greater of an incremental 2.0% royalty on annual net sales of omecamtiv mecarbil or quarterly fixed payments for 18 quarters and an incremental 2.0% royalty thereafter. If FDA approval is not received within a specific timeframe, we will receive a return of 2.4 times the Cytokinetics Development Funding over 18 quarters. If the Phase 3 clinical trial is not successful within a specific timeframe, we will receive a return of 2.3 times the Cytokinetics Development Funding over 22 quarters.

Out of the seven tranches of the Cytokinetics Commercial Launch Funding, we have funded a total of $175 million under tranches one, four, and six as of June 30, 2025, including the required minimum draw in April 2025. Tranches two and three are no longer available because the related regulatory milestones were not met. Tranches five and seven, which provide for draws up to $100 million and $175 million, respectively, are available for draw upon the occurrence of certain regulatory and clinical development milestones (“Cytokinetics Funding Commitments”) and have a one-year draw period from the date when such contingency is met. The fifth tranche became available in the fourth quarter of 2024 after the contingency was met and will remain available through the fourth quarter of 2025. The contingency for tranche seven has not been met as of June 30, 2025. For tranches one, four, five, six and seven, we expect a return of 1.9 times the amount drawn over 34 consecutive quarterly payments beginning on the last business day of the seventh quarter following the quarter of the funding date of each tranche. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we began receiving quarterly repayments on tranche one.
We elected the fair value option to account for the Cytokinetics Development Funding and the Cytokinetics Commercial Launch Funding (collectively the “Cytokinetics Funding Arrangements”) as it most accurately reflects the nature of the funding arrangements. The funded Cytokinetics Funding Arrangements are recorded within Available for sale debt securities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We recognized the Cytokinetics Funding Commitments at fair value within Other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The changes in the fair value of the funded Cytokinetics Funding Arrangements and Cytokinetics Funding Commitments are recorded within Losses/(gains) on available for sale debt securities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Further, as part of the expanded funding collaboration in May 2024, we purchased Cytokinetics common stock and provided funding for clinical trials of CK-586 in exchange for a royalty, which is further described in Note 7–Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments. Lastly, the funding collaboration also included the restructuring of our royalty on aficamten.

MorphoSys Development Funding Bonds

In September 2022, we provided MorphoSys funding of $300 million (“MorphoSys Development Funding Bonds”), for which we began receiving quarterly repayments in the fourth quarter of 2024. MorphoSys was acquired by Novartis in 2024. In January 2025, the MorphoSys Development Funding Bonds were sold for approximately $511 million.

We elected the fair value option to account for the MorphoSys Development Funding Bonds as it most accurately reflects the nature of the instrument. The MorphoSys Development Funding Bonds were recorded within Available for sale debt securities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The changes in the fair value of the MorphoSys Development Funding Bonds were recorded within Losses/(gains) on available for sale debt securities in the condensed consolidated statement of operation.
