6. Sale of Future Payments

 

In January 2024, the Company and XOMA entered into the Purchase Agreement for the sale by the Company to XOMA, in exchange for $8.0 million, of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to certain amounts payable to the Company, or collectively, the Purchased Receivables, pursuant to the DSUVIA Agreement in respect of net sales of the Product, excluding sales of the Product outside the United States by Laboratoire Aguettant, or Aguettant.

 

The Purchased Receivables include:

 

(i) 100% of certain payments based on net sales of the Product and potential sales-based milestone payments of up to $116.5 million in respect of net sales of the Product, in each case made on and after January 1, 2024 and excluding sales of the Product by Aguettant, and of certain associated license and acquisition payments relating to the Product, until XOMA has received $20.0 million of payments in respect of the foregoing, or the XOMA Threshold, or the Stepdown Date; and

 

(ii) following the Stepdown Date, (A) 100% of payments based on net sales of the Product other than net sales to the United States Department of Defense, or DoD and (B) 50% of each of the following: (a) payments based on net sales of the Product to the DoD, (b) potential sales-based milestone payments in respect of net sales of the Product, and (c) certain associated license and acquisition payments relating to the Product.

 

The Company has retained its right, title and interest in and to, following the Stepdown Date, 50% of each of the following: (a) payments based on net sales of the Product to the DoD, (b) potential sales-based milestone payments in respect of net sales of the Product, and (c) of certain associated license and acquisition payments relating to the Product.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and XOMA, indemnification obligations of the parties and other obligations of the parties.

 

The allocation of the consideration for the Purchase Agreement resulted in proceeds of $1.4 million reduced by $0.2 million of transaction costs being allocated to the sale of all future interest in payments related to commercial sales of DSUVIA representing its fair value. As a result of the Company’s loss of control, no further continuing involvement in, or rights to future payments related to commercial sales of DSUVIA, the Company recognized other income of $1.2 million in January 2024.

 

The Company evaluated the terms of the Purchase Agreement and concluded that the features of the Purchased Receivables are similar to those of a debt instrument. Accordingly, the Company recorded the allocated proceeds of approximately $6.6 million reduced by approximately $0.5 million of transaction costs, as a liability. The Company accounts for the value of the debt at amortized cost. The amounts received by the Company will be accreted to the total estimated amount of the payments necessary to extinguish the Company’s obligation under the Purchase Agreement, which will be recognized as interest expense. The carrying value of the debt will decrease for payments made to XOMA.

 

The Company periodically assesses the expected payments for services performed to support sales of DSUVIA to the DoD by Alora under the Marketing Agreement and milestone payments under the DSUVIA Agreement using a combination of historical results, internal projections, and forecasts from external sources. To the extent such payments are greater or less than the Company’s initial estimates or the timing of such payments is materially different than its original estimates, the Company will prospectively adjust the amortization of the liability and the effective interest rate. Due to the significant judgments and factors related to the estimates of future payments under the Purchase Agreement, there are significant uncertainties surrounding the amount and timing of future payments.

 

As the payments are remitted to XOMA, the liability will be effectively repaid over the life of the agreement. In order to determine the amortization of the liability related to the sale of future payments, the Company is required to estimate the total amount of future payments to XOMA over the life of the Purchase Agreement. In October 2024, Alora notified the Company that they had discontinued their DSUVIA sales efforts to non-DoD customers. The Company was also notified in 2025 that Alora submitted a letter to the FDA to request the withdrawal of the DSUVIA NDA. While the Company has continued its efforts to facilitate sales of the remaining DSUVIA inventory held by Alora to the DoD, it has not obtained any orders from the DoD to purchase the remaining product available. If there are no orders for DSUVIA purchases from the DoD the Company expects that Alora will destroy the remaining DSUVIA inventory. The Company attempted to facilitate a longer-term supply arrangement for DSUVIA but was unsuccessful and does not believe there are any prospective parties currently interested in producing DSUVIA for commercial or DoD use. As a result, the Company estimates that future payments under the Purchase Agreement will be less than the proceeds from the sale of such future payments. Accordingly, the Company will not recognize any related non-cash interest expense. When the expected payments under the sale of future payments are lower than the gross proceeds of $6.6 million received, the Company defers recognition of any probable contingent gain until the Company has met its obligations under the liability related to the sale of future payments. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the estimated effective interest rate under the agreement was approximately 0%.

 

The Company recognized de minimus non-cash revenue and did not recognize any non-cash interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not recognize any non-cash revenue and recognized non-cash interest expense of approximately $0.4 million. The interest and amortization of issuance costs are reflected as non-cash interest expense for the sale of future payments in the consolidated statements of operations.
