NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited, in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

1. Nature of Business

Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc. (the “Company” or “Collegium”) was incorporated in Delaware in April 2002 and then reincorporated in Virginia in July 2014. The Company has its principal operations in Stoughton, Massachusetts. The Company’s mission is to build a leading, diversified biopharmaceutical company committed to improving the lives of people living with serious medical conditions. The Company’s product portfolio includes Jornay PM (“Jornay”), Belbuca, Xtampza ER, Nucynta ER and Nucynta IR (collectively the “Nucynta Products”), and Symproic.

On September 3, 2024, (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company closed its acquisition of Ironshore Therapeutics Inc. (“Ironshore”) (the “Ironshore Acquisition” or “Merger”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), with Ironshore surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Ironshore had developed and obtained commercial approval to market Jornay in the United States. Upon closing the Ironshore Acquisition, the Company acquired the Jornay product.

On March 22, 2022, the Company acquired BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (“BDSI”), a specialty pharmaceutical company working to deliver innovative therapies for individuals living with serious and debilitating chronic conditions (the “BDSI Acquisition”). Upon closing the BDSI Acquisition, the Company acquired the Belbuca and Symproic products.

The Company’s operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. The principal risks include inability to continue successfully commercializing products, changing market conditions for products and development of competing products, changing regulatory environment and reimbursement landscape, product-related litigation, manufacture of adequate commercial inventory, inability to secure adequate supplies of active pharmaceutical ingredients, key personnel retention, protection of intellectual property, and patent infringement litigation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc. (a Virginia corporation) and its subsidiaries. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal and recurring nature) necessary to fairly present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2025, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Estimates in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include revenue recognition, including the estimates of product returns, discounts and allowances related to commercial sales of products, estimates related to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including acquired intangible assets and the fair value of inventory acquired, estimates utilized in the ongoing valuation of inventory related to potential unsaleable product, estimates of useful lives with respect to intangible assets, accounting for stock-based compensation, contingencies, impairment of intangible assets, future payments under the deferred royalty obligation, and deferred tax valuation allowances. The Company bases estimates and assumptions on historical experience when available and on

various factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. The Company’s actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).

There were no significant changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those described in the Company’s Annual Report.

Subsequent Events

In May 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an accelerated share repurchase program to repurchase $25,000 of the Company’s common stock as part of the $150,000 repurchase program authorized in January 2024.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting pronouncements are issued periodically by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and are adopted by the Company as required by the specified effective dates.

The Company has not been required to adopt any accounting standards that had a significant impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, are not expected to be applicable to the Company or have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements upon future adoption.

3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company’s revenue to date is from sales of the Company’s products, which are primarily sold to wholesalers (“customers”), which in turn sell the product to pharmacies or other outlets for the treatment of patients.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements with a customer, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to

the customer. At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the assets isone year or less.

Performance Obligations

The Company determined that performance obligations are satisfied, and revenue is recognized, when a customer takes control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time. This generally occurs upon delivery of the products to customers, at which point the Company recognizes revenue and records accounts receivable. Payment is typically received 30 to 90 days after satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations.

Transaction Price and Variable Consideration

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or services to a customer (“transaction price”). The transaction price for product sales includes variable consideration related to sales deductions, including: (i) rebates and incentives, including managed care rebates, government rebates, co-pay program incentives, and sales incentives and allowances; (ii) product returns, including return estimates; and, (iii) trade allowances and chargebacks, including fees for distribution services, prompt pay discounts, and chargebacks. The Company will estimate the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price under the expected value method for all sales deductions other than trade allowances, which are estimated under the most likely amount method. These provisions reflect the expected amount of consideration to which the Company is entitled based on the terms of the contract. In addition, the Company made a policy election to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes that are assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on revenue-producing transactions.

The Company bases its estimates of variable consideration, which could include estimates of future rebates, returns, and other adjustments, on historical data and other information. Estimates include: (i) timing of the rebates and returns incurred; (ii) pricing adjustments related to rebates and returns; and (iii) the quantity of product that will be rebated or returned in the future. Significant judgment is used in determining the appropriateness of these assumptions at each reporting period.

Rebates and Incentives

Provisions for rebates and incentives are based on the estimated amount of rebates and incentives to be claimed on the related sales. As the Company’s rebates and incentives are based on products dispensed to patients, the Company is required to estimate the expected value of claims at the time of product delivery to wholesalers. Given that wholesalers sell the product to pharmacies, which in turn dispense the product to patients, claims can be submitted significantly after the related sales are recognized. The Company’s estimates of these claims are based on the historical experience of existing or similar programs, including current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, and estimated distribution channel inventory levels. Accruals and related reserves required for rebates and incentives are adjusted as new information becomes available, including actual claims. If actual results vary, the Company may need to adjust future estimates, which could have an effect on earnings in the period of the adjustment.

Product Returns

Provisions for product returns are based on product-level returns rates, including processed as well as unprocessed return claims, in addition to relevant market events and other factors. Estimates of the future product returns are made at the time of revenue recognition to determine the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled (that is, excluding the products expected to be returned). At the end of each reporting period, the Company analyzes trends in returns rates and updates its assessment of variable consideration. To the extent the Company receives amounts in excess of what it expects to be entitled to receive due to a product return, the Company does not recognize revenue when it transfers products to customers but instead recognizes those excess amounts received as a refund liability. The Company updates the measurement of the refund liability at the end of each reporting period for changes in expectations about the amount of refunds with the corresponding adjustments recognized as revenue (or reductions of revenue).

The Company provides the right of return to its customers for an 18-month window beginning six months prior to expiration and up until twelve months after expiration. The Company’s customers short-pay an existing invoice upon notice of a product return claim. Adjustments to the preliminary short-paid claims are processed when the return claim is validated and finalized. The Company’s return policy requires that product is returned and that the return is claimed within the 18-month window.

Trade Allowances and Chargebacks

Provisions for trade allowances and chargebacks are primarily based on customer-level contractual terms. Accruals and related reserves are adjusted as new information becomes available, which generally consists of actual trade allowances and chargebacks processed relating to sales recognized.

At the end of each reporting period, the Company updates the estimated transaction price (including updating its assessment of whether an estimate of variable consideration is constrained). Variable consideration, including the risk of customer concessions, is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is subsequently resolved.

Significant judgment is required to determine the variable consideration included in the transaction price as described above. Adjustments to the estimated variable consideration included in the transaction price occur when new information indicates that the estimate should be revised. If the value of accepted and processed claims is different than the amount estimated and included in variable consideration, then adjustments would impact product revenues, net and earnings in the period such revisions become known. The amount of variable consideration ultimately received and included in the transaction price may materially differ from the Company’s estimates, resulting in additional adjustments recorded to increase or decrease product revenues, net.

Provision and Allowance Activity

(2)Provisions for product returns are deducted from gross revenues at the time revenues are recognized and are included in accrued rebates, returns and discounts in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(3)Provisions for trade allowances and chargebacks include fees for distribution service fees, prompt pay discounts, and chargebacks. Trade allowances and chargebacks are deducted from gross revenue at the time revenues are recognized and are recorded as a reduction to accounts receivable in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company did not have any transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations and any costs to obtain contracts with customers, including pre-contract costs and set up costs, were immaterial.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company discloses disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. When selecting the type of category to use to disaggregate revenue, the Company considers how information about the Company’s revenue has been presented for other purposes as well as what information is regularly reviewed and used for evaluating financial performance. As such, the Company disaggregates its product revenues, net from contracts with customers by product, as disclosed in the table below.

Contract Liabilities

The Company’s contract liabilities, or deferred revenue, primarily relate to contracts where the Company has received payment, but it has not yet satisfied or fully satisfied the related performance obligations. Upfront payments and fees are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt or when due and may require deferral of revenue recognition to a future period until the Company satisfies its obligations under these arrangements.​

The Company’s only contract liability relates to a contract with Knight Therapeutics, Inc. (“Knight”), which was entered into by Ironshore and Knight in May 2024 and was assumed as part of the Ironshore Acquisition (see Note 4,Acquisition). The contract provides Knight the right to sell Jornay in Canada and certain countries in Latin America, subject to regulatory approval. The contract provides for a nonrefundable upfront payment of $10,000, sales milestones, royalties on net revenue, and reimbursement for certain manufacturing expenses. The Company identified one combined performance obligation in the contract related primarily to the sale of products. The up-front payment will be recognized as revenue as product sales are made over the term of the contract. No products have been delivered to date under this contract and thereforeno revenue has been recognized through March 31, 2025.

4. Acquisition

On September 3, 2024, the Company closed the Ironshore Acquisition. Ironshore had developed and obtained commercial approval to market Jornay in the United States. The Ironshore Acquisition was completed to expand the Company’s business beyond pain management and establish a commercial presence in neuropsychiatry via the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”) market. The Company obtained control through the acquisition of shares in an all-cash transaction which closed on September 3, 2024.

The acquisition consideration includes payments for the Ironshore equity and assumption of certain of its debt. The Company deposited $25,000 into escrow at closing, to be released (i) in part, after, and subject to, determination of any adjustments related to finalization of working capital and cash at closing; and (ii) in part, and subject to, the lapse of certain indemnification obligations 12 months from the Acquisition Date. As of the Acquisition Date, approximately $21,956 was due to the former Ironshore equity holders and $25,000 was recorded as restricted cash. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, the adjustments related to working capital and cash were finalized and settled, resulting in a $3,836 reduction in the amount due to the former Ironshore equity holders. In addition, the Company will pay approximately $7,000 to former Ironshore equity holders as the Company has the opportunity to recover certain deposits as specified in the Merger Agreement, which amount is due no later than 225 days from the Acquisition Date. The Company also agreed to pay a $25,000 contingent payment upon the achievement of a financial milestone based on net revenues of Jornay for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The fair value of the total consideration, including finalization of the working capital adjustment, was approximately $306,104 consisting of the following (in thousands):

​​​
Fair Value of Purchase Price ConsiderationAmount
Fair value of purchase price consideration paid at closing:​​
Initial cash consideration$276,888
Deferred payments and contingent consideration:​​
Cash held in escrow related to indemnification and other settlements​18,120
Other deferred consideration​7,000
Fair value of contingent consideration​4,096
Total purchase consideration$306,104

The Company has accounted for the Ironshore Acquisition as a business combination and, accordingly, has included the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and results of operations in its financial statements following the Acquisition Date.

The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on estimates, assumptions, valuations and other studies which have not yet been finalized. The Company is finalizing its valuation of intangible assets, tangible assets, liabilities and tax analyses, and anticipates finalizing the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained, but no later than one year after the Acquisition Date. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized measurement period adjustments to decrease accrued rebates, returns, and discounts by $14,127, goodwill by $11,573, deferred tax assets by $6,907, and certain other accounts by $517. The purchase price was reduced by $3,836 in the three months ended March 31, 2025 as a result of finalizing the working capital adjustment included in the Merger Agreement.

The following tables set forth the preliminary allocation of the Ironshore Acquisition purchase price to the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired at the Acquisition Date, including all measurement period adjustments (in thousands):

​​​​
​ · ​ · Amounts Recognized at the Acquisition Date

Cash and cash equivalents​$9,350

Deferred revenue​​10,000
Total liabilities​$464,970
Total identifiable net assets acquired​​289,201
Goodwill​​16,903
Total consideration transferred​$306,104

The valuation of the acquired intangible assets and assumed deferred royalty obligation relies on significant unobservable inputs. The Company used an income approach to value the $635,000 for the acquired intangible asset. The valuation of the intangible asset was based on estimated projections of expected cash flows to be generated by the asset, discounted to the present value at an appropriate discount rate. The Company is amortizing the identifiable intangible asset on a straight-line basis over its useful life of 7.7 years (refer to Note 9,Goodwill and Intangible Assets). The acquired inventory was recorded at fair value, which includes an adjustment to record inventory from its historic cost to fair value of $10,700. The assumed senior secured notes payable and borrowings were settled immediately after the close of the acquisition, resulting in a loss in debt extinguishment of $4,145.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired represents goodwill. This goodwill is primarily attributable to synergies of merging operations. The acquired goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Acquisition Related Expenses

In the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred $1,289 of acquisition related expenses as a result of the Ironshore Acquisition. These costs primarily include employee-related expenses (severance cost and benefits) for terminated employees following the acquisition and miscellaneous other acquisition expenses incurred, including integration consulting costs and contract termination costs. The Company has accrued $212 related to employee severance costs incurred as of March 31, 2025 but not yet paid. The Company expects, however, to incur additional acquisition-related expenses relating to consulting fees, contract termination costs, and other integration-related expenses during the first half of 2025.

5. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, plus potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period, as determined in accordance with the treasury stock, if-converted, or contingently issuable accounting methods, depending on the nature of the security. For purposes of the diluted earnings per share calculation, stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance share units (“PSUs”), and shares potentially issuable in connection with the Company’s employee stock purchase plan and convertible senior notes are considered potentially dilutive securities and included to the extent that their addition is not antidilutive.

The following table presents the computations of basic and dilutive earnings per common share:

Convertible senior notes6,606,305​—

For PSUs, these securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the market-based vesting conditions were not met as of the end of the reporting period. All other securities presented in the table above were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value measurements and disclosures describe the fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:

​​
Level 1 inputs:Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market is defined as a market where transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 inputs:Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3 inputs:Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company invests in instruments within defined credit parameters to minimize credit risk while ensuring liquidity.

There wereno transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

The following table presents the Company’s financial instruments carried at fair value using the lowest level input applicable to each financial instrument as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

The Company’s cash equivalents, which includes money market funds and commercial paper, are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using quoted market prices.

Contingent Consideration

The Company’s contingent consideration liability is related to the Ironshore Acquisition in 2024. The Ironshore Acquisition included a contingent payment of $25,000 related to the achievement of a financial milestone based on net revenues of Jornay for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The contingent consideration liability is measured at fair value using an option pricing model. The Company classifies its contingent consideration liability as a Level 3 fair value measurement based on the significant unobservable inputs used to estimate fair value. The key assumptions considered in estimating the fair value include the estimated probability and timing of milestone achievement, such as the probability and timing of projected revenues.

Change in the Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

The following tables provide a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances related to the contingent consideration for the Ironshore Acquisition (dollars in thousands):

​​​​
​ · ​ · Ironshore Acquisition
​ · ​ · Contingent Consideration
Balance as of December 31, 2024​$1,182
Gain on fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration​​(786)
Balance as of March 31, 2025​$396

Assets and Liabilities Not Carried at Fair Value

Convertible Senior Notes

The Company’s convertible senior notes are considered Level 2 financial liabilities. The fair value was determined based on data points other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as broker quotes in a non-active market. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the Company's 2.875% convertible senior notes due in 2029 was $266,184 and the net carrying value was $237,429.

Term Notes Payable

The Company’s term notes are considered Level 2 financial liabilities. The fair value was determined using quoted prices for similar liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. As of March 31, 2025, the carrying amount of the term notes reasonably approximated the estimated fair value.

Deferred Royalty Obligation

The Company’s deferred royalty obligation liability was assumed as part of the Ironshore Acquisition in 2024. Refer to Note 13,* Deferred* Royalty Obligation, for more information.

The deferred royalty obligation is considered a level 3 fair value measurement. The fair value of the Company’s deferred royalty obligation was approximately $129,279 as of March 31, 2025.

Other Assets and Liabilities

As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and accrued rebates, returns and discounts reasonably approximated their estimated fair values.

7. Marketable Securities

Matures after one year through five years​​56,167​​43,722
Total​$101,582​$94,191

The unrealized losses on the Company’s available-for-sale securities were immaterial as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. In addition, there wereno sales of marketable securities during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net unrealized holding gains or losses for the period that have been included in accumulated other comprehensive loss were not material to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company did not record any allowances for credit losses to adjust the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company reviews its investments for other-than-temporary impairment whenever the fair value of an investment is less than amortized cost and evidence indicates that an investment’s carrying amount is not recoverable within a reasonable period of time. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. The Company generally does not intend to sell any investments prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis for any investment in an unrealized loss position. As such, the Company did not hold any securities with other-than-temporary impairment as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

9. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s goodwill balance was $150,760 and $162,333, respectively. The change in the period was due to changes within the measurement period, as described in Footnote 4,Acquisition. The Company’s goodwill resulted from the acquisition of BDSI on March 22, 2022 and the Ironshore Acquisition on September 3, 2024.

The following table sets forth the cost, accumulated amortization, and carrying amount of intangible assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

11. Term Notes Payable

2022 Term Loan

On March 22, 2022, in connection with the closing of the BDSI Acquisition, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement by and among the Company, and BioPharma Credit PLC, as collateral agent and lender, and BioPharma Credit Investments V (Master) LP, as lender (collectively “Pharmakon”), as amended (the “2022 Loan Agreement”). The 2022 Loan Agreement provided for a $650,000 secured term loan (the “2022 Term Loan”), the proceeds of which were used to repay the Company’s existing term notes outstanding from an existing term loan and fund a portion of the consideration to be paid to complete the BDSI Acquisition.

On July 28, 2024, the 2022 Term Loan was amended and restated in connection with the Ironshore Acquisition and establishment of the 2024 Term Loan as described below.

2024 Term Loan

On July 28, 2024, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries party thereto as guarantors, BioPharma Credit PLC as collateral agent, and BioPharma Credit Investments V (Master) LP and BPCR Limited Partnership (investment funds managed by Pharmakon Advisors, LP) as the lenders (the “Lenders”) party thereto (the “2024 Loan Agreement”). The 2024 Loan Agreement provided for a$645,833 secured term loan (the “2024 Term Loan”), consisting of a$320,833 initial term loan and a$325,000 delayed draw term loan. On the effective date of the 2024 Loan Agreement, the Company used the proceeds of the initial term loan to refinance in full all outstanding indebtedness under the 2022 Term Loan. On the closing date of the Ironshore Acquisition, the Company used the proceeds of the delayed draw term loan to fund a portion of the consideration to complete the Ironshore Acquisition and the 2024 Loan Agreement. The Company will use the remainder for general corporate purposes.

The 2024 Loan Agreement was accounted for as a debt modification as there was no change in the debtor or creditor and the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument were not at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. The Company concluded that the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument were not at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. Accordingly, the new effective interest rate was determined based on the carrying amount of the original debt instrument adjusted for the increase in debt, and transaction fees of$619 were expensed. In connection with the 2024 Loan Agreement, the Company paid loan commitment and other fees to the lender of$11,825, which together with preexisting debt issuance costs and note discounts of$4,192 are amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest rate.

The 2024 Term Loan is scheduled to mature on July 28, 2029 (provided, however, that if the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2029 Convertibles Notes is more than $50,000 as of November 18, 2028, then the 2024 Term Loan will mature on November 18, 2028) and is guaranteed by certain of the Company’s material subsidiaries. The 2024 Term Loan is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its material subsidiaries. Until September 30, 2024, the 2024 Term Loan bore an annual interest rate equal to term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread adjustment of 0.13% (subject to a 1.20% floor), plus a margin of 7.50%. Following September 30, 2024, the 2024 Term Loan bears an annual interest rate equal to term SOFR plus a spread adjustment of 0.13% (subject to a 4.00% floor), plus a margin of 4.50% per annum, and is subject to quarterly amortization payments equal to 2.50% of the original funded amount of the 2024 Term Loan. The Company paid a one-time fee of 1.25% of the initial term loan principal amount on July 29, 2024 and paid a one-time fee of 2.25% of the delayed draw term loan principal amount on September 3, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the contractual interest rate was 8.9%. The Company is required to pay the principal balance under the 2024 Term Loan in equal quarterly installments of $16,146 with a $387,500 final payment due at maturity.

The 2024 Loan Agreement contains certain covenants and obligations of the parties, including, without limitation, covenants that limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens, make acquisitions or other investments or dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business. Failure to comply with these covenants would constitute an event of default under the 2024 Loan Agreement, notwithstanding the Company’s ability to meet its debt service obligations. The 2024 Loan Agreement also includes various customary remedies for secured lenders following an event of default, including the acceleration of the outstanding amounts under the 2024 Loan Agreement and enforcement upon the collateral securing obligations under the 2024 Loan Agreement.

The following table presents the total interest expense recognized related to the 2022 Term Loan and the 2024 Term Loan during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

12. Convertible Senior Notes

2026 Convertible Notes

On February 13, 2020, the Company issued 2.625% convertible senior notes due in 2026 (the “2026 Convertible Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $143,750, in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Contemporaneously with the offering of the 2029 Convertible Notes in February 2023 (as described below), the Company entered into separate privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 2026 Convertible Notes to repurchase $117,400 aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes for an aggregate of $140,100 of cash.

The remaining outstanding 2026 Convertible Notes were then fully redeemed on June 18, 2024. The Company settled all conversions of the 2026 Convertible Notes in cash.

2029 Convertible Notes

On February 10, 2023, the Company issued 2.875% convertible senior notes due in 2029 (the “2029 Convertible Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $241,500, in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2029 Convertible Notes were issued to finance the concurrent repurchase of a portion of the 2026 Convertible Notes, and the remainder of the net proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes. In connection with the issuance of the 2029 Convertible Notes, the Company incurred approximately $6,280 of debt issuance costs, which primarily consisted of underwriting, legal and other professional fees.

The 2029 Convertible Notes are senior, unsecured obligations and bear interest at a rate of 2.875% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2023. The 2029 Convertible Notes will mature on February 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before November 15, 2028, noteholders will have the right to convert their notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after November 15, 2028, noteholders may convert their notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election. The initial conversion rate is 27.3553 shares of common stock per $1 principal amount of 2029 Convertible Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $36.56 per share of common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

Holders of the 2029 Convertible Notes may convert all or any portion of their 2029 Convertible Notes, in multiples of $1 principal amount, at their option only under the following circumstances:

(1)during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2023, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;
(2)during the five consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period (such 10 consecutive trading day period, the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” per $1 principal amount of the 2029 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day;
(3)upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s common stock;
(4)if the Company calls any or all of the 2029 Convertible Notes for redemption, but only with respect to the 2029 Convertible Notes called for redemption; or
(5)at any time from, and including, November 15, 2028 until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date.

As of March 31, 2025, none of the above circumstances had occurred and as such, the 2029 Convertible Notes could not have been converted.

The Company may not redeem the 2029 Convertible Notes prior to February 17, 2026. On or after February 17, 2026 and on or before the 40 th scheduled trading day before the maturity date, the Company may redeem the 2029 Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2029 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on:

(1)each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and
(2)the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice.

However, the Company may not redeem less than all of the outstanding 2029 Convertible Notes unless at least $75,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Convertible Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time the Company sends the related redemption notice.

Calling any 2029 Convertible Note for redemption will constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to that 2029 Convertible Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that 2029 Convertible Note, if it is converted in connection with the redemption, will be increased in certain circumstances for a specified period of time.

The 2029 Convertible Notes have customary default provisions, including: (i) a default in the payment when due (whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase upon fundamental change or otherwise) of the principal of, or the redemption price or fundamental change repurchase price for, any note; (ii) a default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on any note; (iii) a default in the Company’s obligation to convert a note in accordance with the indenture, if such default is not cured within 3 business days after its occurrence; (iv) a default with respect to the Company’s obligations under the indenture related to consolidations, mergers and asset sales; (v) a default in any of the Company’s other obligations or agreements under the indenture that are not cured or waived within 60 days after notice to the Company; (vi) certain payment defaults by the Company or certain subsidiaries with respect to mortgages, agreements or other instruments for indebtedness for money borrowed of at least $30,000 or other defaults by the Company or certain subsidiaries with respect to such indebtedness that result in the acceleration of such indebtedness; (vii) default upon the occurrence of one or more final judgments being rendered against the Company or any of the Company’s significant subsidiaries for the payment of at least $30,000; and (viii) upon the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization with respect to the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries.

The 2029 Convertible Notes are classified on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2025 as convertible senior notes.

As of March 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of the 2029 Convertible Notes consisted of the following:

​​​
​2029 Convertible Notes
Principal$241,500
Less: unamortized issuance costs​(4,071)
Net carrying amount$237,429

The Company determined the expected life of the 2029 Convertible Notes was equal to thesix-year term. The effective interest rate on the 2029 Convertible Notes is 3.3%. As of March 31, 2025, the if-converted value of the 2029 Convertible Notes did not exceed the remaining principal amount.

As of March 31, 2025, the future minimum payments on the 2029 Convertible Notes were as follows:

​​​​

Total interest expense$1,992​$2,208

13. Deferred Royalty Obligation

The Company’s deferred royalty obligation liability is a debt obligation of Ironshore that was assumed as part of the Ironshore Acquisition. The deferred royalty obligation relates to royalty payments on net sales of Jornay that are paid to debtholders in exchange for funding provided to Ironshore by the debtholders. The royalty rate is 7.4% for net sales prior to July 1, 2025 and 9.7% thereafter through March 2032. The royalty payments are an unsecured obligation of the Company and there are no financial covenants or other restrictive covenants. The royalty payments are to be made semi-annually in February and August of each year related to the prior six-month calendar year period.

The deferred royalty obligation will be accreted to the total estimated royalty payments over the life of the agreement, which is recorded as interest expense using the effective interest rate. The carrying value of the obligation will decrease for royalty payments made to the extent that payments exceed the recognized interest expense. The effective interest rate is calculated based on current estimates of future royalty payments over the life of the arrangement. To the extent estimates of future royalty payments are greater or less than previous estimates or the estimated timing of such payments is materially different than previous estimates, the Company accounts for any such changes by adjusting the effective interest rate on a prospective basis, which will adjust future interest expense. The effective interest rate as of March 31, 2025 was approximately 11.8%.

A rollforward of the deferred royalty obligation is as follows:

​​​​
​ · ​ · Deferred Royalty Obligation
Balance as of December 31, 2024​$120,613
Net accretion​​909
Net carrying amount​$121,522

The total interest expense recognized related to the deferred royalty obligation during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $3,617, including net accretion of $909. Total royalty payments made under the agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $4,147 and were recorded as a reduction to accrued interest.

The 2024-2025 Repurchase Program permits the Company to effect repurchases through a variety of methods, including open-market purchases (including pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act), privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The timing and amount of any shares purchased on the open market will be determined based on the Company’s evaluation of the market conditions, share price and other factors. The Company plans to utilize existing cash on hand to fund share repurchases.

Through March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 1,882,702 shares at a weighted-average price of$31.88 per share for a total of$60,025, inclusive of$25 of fees and commissions, under the 2024-2025 Repurchase Program and the cost of repurchased shares was recorded as treasury stock in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may face legal claims or actions in the normal course of business. Except as disclosed below, the Company is not currently a party to any material litigation.

Xtampza ER Litigation

On March 24, 2015, Purdue sued the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting infringement ofthree of Purdue’s Orange Book-listed patents (Patent Nos. 7,674,799, 7,674,800, and 7,683,072) and a non-Orange Book-listed patent (Patent No. 8,652,497). The lawsuit was initiated in response to the Company filing the New Drug Application (“NDA”) for Xtampza ER as a 505(b)(2) application referencing data from Purdue’s OxyContin NDA, and under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, triggered a stay of up to 30 months before the FDA could issue a final approval for Xtampza ER, unless the stay was earlier terminated.

The Delaware court transferred the case to the District of Massachusetts. After the Company filed a partial motion for judgment on the pleadings relating to the Orange Book-listed patents, the District Court of Massachusetts ordered judgment in the Company’s favor on those three patents, and dismissed the claims which lifted the 30-month stay of FDA approval. Following this judgment, the Company obtained final approval for Xtampza ER and launched commercially.

Purdue subsequently filedtwo follow-on lawsuits asserting infringement oftwo patents that had been late-listed in the Orange Book and, therefore, could not trigger any stay of FDA approval: Purdue asserted infringement of Patent No. 9,073,933 in November 2015 and Patent No. 9,522,919 in April 2017. In addition, Purdue invokedtwo non-Orange Book-listed patents, filing suit in June 2016 asserting infringement of Patent No. 9,155,717 and in September 2017, asserting infringement of Patent No. 9,693,961.

On March 13, 2018, the Company filed a Petition for Post-Grant Review (“PGR”) of the ʼ961 patent with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”). The PGR argued that the ʼ961 patent is invalid.

On November 21, 2017, the Court issued its claim construction ruling, construing certain claims of the ʼ933, ʼ497, and ʼ717 patents. The Court issued an order on September 28, 2018, in which it ruled that the Xtampza ER formulation does not infringe the ʼ497 and ʼ717 patents.

On September 15, 2019, Purdue commenced chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Later in September 2019, Purdue gave the District Court of Massachusetts, as well as the PTAB, notice of its bankruptcy filing and sought the imposition of an automatic stay of proceedings. Both the Court and the PTAB granted Purdue’s requests to stay the pending matters.

On September 1, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order, lifting the automatic stays in both the District of Massachusetts and PTAB proceedings. On September 11, 2020, Purdue filed a motion to terminate the PTAB action on the basis that those proceedings had gone beyond the 18-month statutory period. On November 19, 2021, the PTAB: (i) denied Purdue’s motion to terminate the PGR; and (ii) issued its Final Written Decision, finding that the asserted claims of the ʼ961 patent were invalid for lack of written description and anticipation. Purdue appealed the decision to the Federal Circuit, which issued its decision on November 21, 2023, affirming the authority of the PTAB to issue its Final Written Decision and upholding the PTAB’s finding of invalidity relative to the ’961 patent. Purdue has exhausted all possibility of appeal, and the judgment of invalidity of the ’961 patent is final without further right of appeal.

On April 2, 2021, the Court granted Purdue’s Motion to Lift the Stay in the District of Massachusetts that was entered following Purdue’s Notice of Bankruptcy. On April 9, 2021, Purdue filed another follow-on lawsuit asserting infringement of U.S. Patent No. 10,407,434. The Company responded to Purdue’s complaint with a motion to dismiss. On May 21, 2021, and in response to the Company’s motion to dismiss, Purdue filed an amended complaint. The Company renewed its motion to dismiss on June 4, 2021, arguing: (i) Purdue cannot, as a matter of law, state a claim for infringement under § 271(e)(2)(A); (ii) Purdue cannot, as a matter of law, state a claim for product-by-process infringement under §271(g); and (iii) Purdue has not alleged facts sufficient to support any indirect infringement theory under §271(b) or (c). The Court held a hearing on the Company’s motion to dismiss on October 13, 2021, and the motion is pending before the Court.

Like the prior follow-on lawsuits, the ’434 patent litigation was consolidated into the lead case and a scheduling order was entered. On May 15, 2023, the Court issued an order that: (i) vacated the existing deadlines with respect to the ʼ933, ʼ919, and ʼ434 patents and stayed the case pending the Federal Circuit’s decision in a different litigation that invalidated certain claims of the ʼ933 and ʼ919 patents; and (ii) continued the existing stay concerning the ʼ961 patent pending resolution of Purdue’s appeal rights relating to the decision invalidating the claims of the ʼ961 patent. The Court has not set a deadline for dispositive motions or trial.

The remaining patents-in-suit in the lead consolidated action in the District of Massachusetts are the ʼ933, ʼ919, ʼ434, and ʼ961 patents. Purdue has made a demand for monetary relief, and requested a judgment of infringement, an adjustment of the effective date of FDA approval, and an injunction on the sale of the Company’s products accused of infringement. The Company has denied all claims and has requested a judgment that the remaining asserted patents are invalid and/or not infringed; the Company is also seeking a judgment that the case is exceptional and has requested an award of the Company’s attorneys’ fees for defending the case.

The Company plans to defend this case vigorously. At this stage, the Company is unable to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any.

Nucynta Litigation

On February 7, 2018, Purdue filed a patent infringement suit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, in which it argues that the Company’s sale of immediate-release and extended-release Nucynta infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 9,861,583, 9,867,784, and 9,872,836. On December 6, 2018, the Company filed an Amended Answer asserting an affirmative defense for patent exhaustion. On December 10, 2018, the Court granted the parties’ stipulation for resolution of the Company’s affirmative defense of patent exhaustion and stayed the action, with the exception of briefing on and resolution of the Company’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings related to patent exhaustion and any discovery related to that Motion.

Also, on December 10, 2018, the Company filed a Rule 12(c) Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, arguing that Purdue’s claims were barred by the doctrine of patent exhaustion. On June 19, 2019, the Court issued an order calling for discovery on a factual predicate for the patent exhaustion defense and noted that the case remained “stayed with the exception of discovery and briefing on and resolution of the Company’s anticipated motion for summary judgment based on patent exhaustion.”

On September 19, 2019, Purdue notified the Court of its bankruptcy filing and sought an automatic stay of proceedings, which was granted. The Nucynta litigation currently remains subject to the bankruptcy stay.

The Company plans to defend this case vigorously. At this stage, the Company is unable to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any.

Opioid-Related Request and Subpoenas

The Company, like several other pharmaceutical companies, has received subpoenas or civil investigative demands related to opioid sales and marketing practices, from the Offices of the Attorney General of Washington, New Hampshire, Maryland, and Massachusetts.

On December 16, 2021, the Company entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office. The Company is currently cooperating with each of the remaining states in their respective investigations.

Aquestive Litigation

On September 22, 2014, Reckitt Benckiser, Inc., Indivior PLC (formerly RB Pharmaceuticals Limited, “Indivior”), and Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly MonoSol Rx, “Aquestive”) (collectively, the “RB Plaintiffs”) filed an action in the District Court in the District of New Jersey alleging patent infringement against BDSI related to its Bunavail product. The RB Plaintiffs claimed that Bunavail, whose formulation and manufacturing processes have never been disclosed publicly, infringed U.S. Patent No. 8,765,167.

On January 13, 2017, Aquestive filed a complaint in the District Court for the District of New Jersey against BDSI alleging Belbuca also infringed the ’167 Patent. On March 8, 2023, the parties filed a stipulation of dismissal after agreeing to settle the dispute. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, BDSI resolved both the Bunavail and Belbuca litigations in exchange for a one-time, lump-sum payment of $8,500 to Aquestive, which was recognized as an expense included in “selling, general and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Litigation Related to the BDSI Acquisition

On February 25, 2022, in connection with the BDSI Acquisition, a purported individual stockholder of BDSI filed a complaint in the District Court for the Southern District of New York naming as defendants BDSI and each member of its Board of Directors as of the date of the Merger Agreement (“SteinAction”). On February 28, 2022, two additional cases were filed by purported individual stockholders of BDSI in the same court: the “SanfordAction” and the “HigleyAction.” In March 2022, two additional cases were filed by purported individual stockholders of BDSI in the District Court for the Eastern District of New York: the “JusticeAction” and the* “ZomberAction” (together with theStein*,Sanford, andHigley Actions, the “Actions”). The Actions and any similar subsequently filed cases involving BDSI, its officers or Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, and/or any of the Company’s officers or directors relating directly or indirectly to the Merger Agreement, the BDSI Acquisition or any related transaction, are referred to as the “Merger Litigations.”

The Merger Litigations filed to date generally allege that the Schedule 14D-9 is materially incomplete and misleading. The Merger Litigations assert violations of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against BDSI’s Board of Directors. The Merger Litigations seek, among other things: an injunction enjoining consummation of the Merger, rescission of the Merger Agreement, a declaration that BDSI and its Board of Directors violated Sections 14(e) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder, damages, costs of the action, including plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and experts’ fees and expenses, and any other relief the court may deem just and proper.

In addition, between February and March of 2022, BDSI received demand letters from three purported stockholders of BDSI seeking to inspect certain books and records of BDSI related to the Merger (collectively, the “Inspection Letters”). In March 2022, BDSI received demand letters from four purported stockholders alleging that the Schedule 14D-9 omits purportedly material information relating to the Merger (collectively, the “Demand Letters”).

Plaintiffs in theHigley, Zomber, and JusticeActions each filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of their complaint in the second quarter of 2022. On July 28, 2022, plaintiff in theSanford Action filed a partial voluntary dismissal of the individual named defendants, and on October 26, 2022, filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of the BDSI defendant. On February 17, 2023, theStein Action was dismissed.

While the Company believes that the remaining Merger Litigations, Inspection Letters, and Demand Letters are without merit and that the disclosures in the Schedule 14D-9 comply fully with applicable law, solely in order to avoid the expense and distraction of litigation, BDSI previously determined to voluntarily supplement the Schedule 14D-9 with certain supplemental disclosures set forth in BDSI’s Schedule 14D-9 filed with the SEC on March 11, 2022 (the “Supplemental Disclosures”). The Company and BDSI believe that the Supplemental Disclosures mooted all allegations or concerns raised in the Merger Litigations, Inspection Letters, and Demand Letters.

Alvogen

On September 7, 2018, BDSI filed a complaint for patent infringement in District Court for the District of Delaware against Alvogen Pb Research & Development LLC, Alvogen Malta Operations Ltd., Alvogen Pine Brook LLC, Alvogen, Incorporated, and Alvogen Group, Incorporated (collectively, “Alvogen”), asserting that Alvogen infringed BDSI’s Orange Book-listed patents for Belbuca, including U.S. Patent Nos. 8,147,866, 9,655,843 and 9,901,539(collectively, “the BEMA patents”). This complaint followed receipt by BDSI on July 30, 2018 of a Paragraph IV Patent Certification from Alvogen stating it had filed anabbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”)with the FDA for a generic version of Belbuca Buccal Film in strengths 75 mcg, 150 mcg, 300 mcg, 450 mcg, 600 mcg, 750 mcg and 900 mcg.

A three-day bench trial was held from March 1-3, 2021. On December 20, 2021, the Court issued an opinion upholding the validity of certain claims in BDSI’s ʼ866 patent and certain claims in the ’539 patent. The Court entered final judgment on January 21, 2022 upholding the validity of claims of the ’866 and ’539 patents and thereby extended the effective date of any final approval by the FDA of Alvogen’s ANDA until December 21, 2032, (the expiration date of the ’539 patent) and enjoining Alvogen from commercially launching its ANDA products until December 21, 2032. Alvogen filed a motion to stay certain provisions of the final judgment. BDSI filed an opposition to Alvogen’s request for a stay. The Court retained jurisdiction to decide BDSI’s motion for contempt, which was filed on September 21, 2021.

Alvogen filed a notice of appeal to the Federal Circuit seeking to reverse the Court’s final judgment. Separately, BDSI filed a cross-appeal to the Federal Circuit seeking to reverse the Court’s opinion that claims 3 and 10 of the ʼ866 patent and claims 8, 9 and 20 of the ’843 patent are invalid and thus, Alvogen is not liable for infringement of those claims, as well as any other ruling decided adversely to BDSI. On December 21, 2022, the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court judgment that certain claims of the ʼ866 and ʼ539 patent were not invalid as obvious. The Federal Circuit also vacated the district court’s judgment that certain claims of the ʼ866 and ʼ843 patent were invalid as obvious and remanded to the district court for further proceedings. The mandate issued on February 10, 2023.

Chemo Research, S.L.

On March 1, 2019, BDSI filed a complaint for patent infringement in the District Court for the District of Delaware against Chemo Research, S.L., Insud Pharma S.L., IntelGenx Corp., and IntelGenx Technologies Corp. (collectively, the “Chemo Defendants”), asserting that the Chemo Defendants infringe the BEMA patents. This complaint followed receipt by BDSI on January 31, 2019, of a Notice Letter from Chemo Research S.L. stating that it had filed with the FDA an ANDA containing a Paragraph IV Patent Certification, for a generic version of Belbuca Buccal Film in strengths 75 mcg, 150 mcg, 300 mcg, 450 mcg, and 900 mcg.

Chemo agreed to be bound by the decision of the Court with respect to the validity of the BEMA patents as disputed between BDSI and Alvogen. Accordingly, the December 20, 2021 ruling of the Court upholding the validity of certain claims of the BEMA patents is binding upon Chemo. In March 2022, the Court vacated the bench trial set to begin April 25, 2022 to address the remaining Chemo infringement claims. The Court has not yet set a new trial date.

On August 1, 2022, BDSI received a second Paragraph IV certification notice letter from Chemo indicating it amended its ANDA to: (i) withdraw its generic version of the 75 mcg and 150 mcg strengths of Belbuca; and (ii) include its generic version of the 600 mcg and 750 mcg strengths of Belbuca, in addition to the 300 mcg, 450 mcg, and 900 mcg strengths identified in the first Chemo Paragraph IV certification notice letter. In response, BDSI filed a complaint for patent infringement in Federal District Court for the District of Delaware. Chemo answered the complaint on December 1, 2022. The Court has not yet set a schedule for this litigation.

On August 24, 2022, the Court instructed the parties to update the Court at such time as the FDA addresses Chemo's July 29, 2022 response to the FDA. On February 8, 2023, the Court denied Chemo’s request for a trial date in the spring, and again instructed the parties to update the Court at such time as the FDA addresses Chemo’s July 29, 2022 response to the FDA. Chemo received a complete response letter with respect to its July 29, 2022 ANDA in April 2023. Chemo submitted a further amended ANDA to FDA in September 2023. On May 30, 2024, the parties submitted a Joint Status Report to the Court providing that Chemo received a fourth Complete Response Letter on March 27, 2024. On February 7, 2025, the parties submitted a Joint Status Report to the Court providing that Chemo received a fifth Complete Response Letter in January 2025.

The Company plans to litigate this case vigorously. At this stage, the Company is unable to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any.

As it has done in the past, the Company intends to vigorously defend its intellectual property against assertions of invalidity or non-infringement.
